I'm celebrating 500 followers - join the party and play some bingo

Shanks

Shanks is a damn good flirt. He's so smooth with his choice of words, knows when it's appropriate to touch you and usually pretty good about knowing where is acceptable without you ever telling him. He knows just how to worm his way into your bed and he does it almost seamlessly every time.

"Can I get you a refill on that, darlin'?" The red haired pirate asked as he stepped up beside you, a warm but cheeky smile proudly in place on his face.

"Are you paying for it?"

"Course. Can't be letting someone as pretty as you pay for it now, can I?" He replied seamlessly, like he'd known what you were going to say before you said it and had prepared his response ahead of time.

"Well then, I suppose you can." After all, it was a free drink, who were you to say no?

"Tell me, what're you doing here all alone?" He asked next as you waited for the barman to approach.

"I'm with friends, but they're all coupled up. Stifling." It was easy to be honest with him, something about his air just compelled you, as if you'd known him your whole life.

"Well, if you fancy shoving it in their face instead, feel free to come find me. Always happy to spin someone 'round the dance floor."

Sanji

Sanji's attempts at flirting are a little pathetic, mostly consisting of promises of devotion and confessions of deep admiration. It wasn't much to work with. However, the moment you flirt back, he becomes a mess and it's just too much fun to fluster him until he can't respond anymore.

"Hey, Sanji, what's for dinner?" You asked casually, leaning in the doorframe to the kitchen. You were no Zoro, but doing manual labour around the Thousand Sunny had helped tone your muscles slightly so the small muscles became more visible with your hands gripping the doorframe as they were, either side of you to hold you up as you leaned into the room.

"Oh well, I'm happy to make whatever you-" Sanji cut himself off as his eyes found you, trailing over your body up and down, seemingly drying his mouth as he blindly reached for a bottle of water that sat on the counter behind him.

"Something wrong, my love?" You asked, doing your best to feign innocence even though both of you knew you were perfectly aware of what you were doing to him.

"Oh my dear you are truly radiant, I can never be worthy of the view you bestow upon us every day." He rambled, which only made you smile. The two of you had been dating for a couple of months now so while you were comfortable together, the entire dynamic was still new.

"Yeah? I don't know pretty boy, I think you might have me beat in the looks department. How about later I get up close and personal and check?" You suggested with a quick wink, and watched as Sanji's nose began to slowly drip blood.

Rayleigh

Rayleigh is an excellent flirt, and he'll always manage to fluster you, even if you're not usually easy to fluster. He'll make your face warm and hands clammy with a few well chosen, softly spoken words.

"Hope I'm not disturbing you?" Rayleigh asked as he dropped onto the bar stool beside yours. The others were all empty, yet he'd chosen to sit directly beside you.

"Not at all." You said with a shrug. It wasn't quite a free world, but this bar was about as close as it got.

"Just couldn't help coming to say hi, I'm incapable of resisting real beauty you see. So, when I spotted you, just knew I had to take my chance." He explained with a crooked grin you could tell would've suited his face just as much twenty years earlier. As you laughed, his knee brushed yours.

"Yeah?" Maybe you were fishing for more, but you couldn't help it. It'd been a while since you'd gotten attention like this.

"Definitely. I mean, when I spotted you I almost couldn't believe my eyes. No chance was I lucky enough to have someone as gorgeous as you sitting in my bar. Yet, here I am talking to you, and you've yet to disappear in a puff of smoke. So, I guess Gods do walk amongst men, cause otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here beside me." And damn if that didn't win you over, because that was good. You nodded slowly, still processing his words as your face heated and you shuffled your feet slightly, now more nervous than before.

"Don't tell me you're shy now?" He asked, the grin on his face telling you he knew exactly what he was doing, and that he was more than likely to just keep going.

"Not quite." You replied, though you couldn't bring yourself to make eye contact again.

Regular

Dorks <3 Beautiful loving and sweet dorks who are still able to have a level of flirting the likes of which the world unfortunately sleeps on

Hector and you are Chance’s favorite people to play G&G with, he will never say that in front of the others who play G&G with you all, but it’s true. Everyone is so great at the game and adds all sorts of great challenges, dynamics, and fun that keeps every campaign new and fresh. But Hector makes such great characters with such thought out and intercut backstories and personalities, and even some interesting traits of stats, race, and class combinations that gives Chance something solid to go off of but mailable enough to work with to make the game compelling. And then there’s you. You have your own unique abilities that you bring to the party, but you’re also just so stinkin’ great that he’s just happy to have you there in general. Same goes for Hector too of course

He is a fair GM though. There’s no blatant favoritism towards you and Hector during campaigns with others, but he does sneak in a little bit of flirting here and there. Not so much that it makes everyone else uncomfortable, just a quick little something.

“I’m gonna flirt with the guard to distract him from Mac’s character trying to sneak in.” “Okay. *Leans in* Hit me with your best shot.” *everyone laughs* “Just kidding. Roll.”

But yeah. Chance (just in general) is a great GM and let’s all of you have fun and do whatever you want. He loves a good homebrew so long as you run it by him first to make sure he knows and understands it so that he can plan accordingly. Hell, have matching characters too! That’s always fun for storytelling and adding things to the game

One time after the three of you watched The Last Unicorn together on a stay at home movie date, you and Hector created matching characters that were your own versions of Schmendrick and The Unicorn/Lady Amalthea (you can choose who was who but I love the idea of Hector being the Amalthea/Unicorn based character and you’re the Schmendrick based character) And Chance loved it SO MUCH

Speaking of fantasy and stuff like that, Chance’ love for fantasy based story telling and Hector’s interest in literature vaguely bleed together until they end up mixing into a developed love for fantasy literature. Chance isn’t really much of a big reader himself unless it’s a guidebook for campaigns, but he will take inspiration from things to help him create campaigns. So I do think that if there’s a book with fantasy stuff that has a concept that he thinks would be cool for a campaign then he will read it in order to study it

But he does also support you and Hector’s interests which means that even if Hector leans more towards romance and smut stories he still listens to him talk about them whenever he feels like sharing things that interest him, and maybe even adding them to his campaigns as a little easter egg/reference/treat for Hector. And same goes for you too. He listens to anything that you’re a huge nerd about and adds them in too just for you <3

Or Chance will just in general let both of you infodump to him about your interests since he loves it when you do that same for him

A lovely person who likes my Hanks x Hector x reader content made a reblog talking about the ren fair (realized ofc), which was great, but I also 100% think that the three of you so totally go too if we’re going down the realized ending route. And all three of you get all dressed up too and have a blast

You guys definitely could coordinate something so that your costumes all go together, but you’re also free to all have your own thing going on. But that’s so something that you guys could do

Chance and Hector are both such great boyfriends too, both to you and each other. They both love and admire you and your sense of personality, being yourself, and loving what you love, along with loving that in each other too

Hector thinks Chance is such an extraordinary person. He’s handsome, smart, creative, funny, and… very strong and… well sculpted. Hector sees a lot of what he wishes he could be in Chance, but instead of being jealous, he just ended up falling in love with him once they met. I actually think that once they developed a friendship, Hector actually develops a huge crush on Chance to the same likes as you and just quietly yearns just like he was for you

The polycule develop in whatever way you want it to. Either you and Hector are a thing first and then you start adding Chance, or you and Chance are a thing and then involve Hector. Because I know damn well Hector would be too nervous and scared about rejection if he tried to pursue Chance on his own

As for Chance, I think Chance would adore Hector for his passion for storytelling through his own stories and his own dorky-ness that he sees in himself too, along with his personality too. And I mean come on! Who doesn’t love sweet ol’ little Hector?

A bit random but Chance doesn’t like it when people ask to try on his glasses. But sometimes he will up them on you and Hector for fun. He’ll say something like “Hold onto these for me” and place them on you before coming back and saying “thanks” and putting them back on. He does it enough that whenever he says those words, you and Hector instinctively lean in so that he can put them on you

Gosh these two are just so sweet that it’ll just rot my teeth out!!!

(Post-edit, I just wanted to add some extra things without having to make a whole other part)

Cuddling is 10/10 top tier! Like I said, Chance has nice strong arms. Not to mention he’s got two so he can cuddle both you and Hector at the same time but putting and arm around each of you and you guys leaning in and cuddling onto his side.

It’s a bit less optimal when it comes to sleep because Chance would have to be on his back, which might suck if he wanted to spoon specially. But while sat on the couch watching tv/a movie or doing your own things? That’s great! He especially loves it while watching something because you’ll all be extra cozy with the addition of a blanket and snacks

Hell, like that you guys can even cuddle in different ways. One of you can be laying down on the couch with your head in other’s lap while the other cuddles up to the said

Granted, cuddling can be separate if one of you isn’t feeling it that day

Chance prefers being big spoon, but wouldn’t mind being little spoon every now and again. Meanwhile Hector is the other way around. He likes the feeling of being held as little spoon but could be big spoon if needed

NSFW (leave now if you want!)

I’m not sure where to start first. Hector simping for Chance, or them simping on you? (I’m gonna roll for it)

Okay I rolled a D4 (Odds for Hector, Evens for you) and rolled a 3 so object yaoi it is

Chance would be so proud

Okay so anyways, about that comment earlier about Hector admiring Chance for being strong and “well sculpted”. Yeah he’s had some dirty thoughts about that, many times

I mean the whole fanbase who loves Chance have already said so many things about how beefy he is and all that, and I’ve seen plenty of people drawing him with some real nat 20s if you catch my drift. So obviously Hector has had those thoughts too because he is canonically a horny little freak and is very capable of having very intense sexual fantasies that plague him

TLDR: There is no doubt in my mind that Hector has totally masterbated to the thought of Chance’s muscular arms and anything else he might have caught sight of in the relationship and had various fantasies before they reached the stage where they actually had sex for the first time

I can totally see Hector finding an excuse to touch Chance’s arm or chest like brushing something off or holding onto him while you three cuddle while watching a movie

I also think that there was a time where Chance picked Hector up a bit or did something that demonstrated that Chance was strong enough to pick or maneuver Hector any way he wanted and it rewired Hector’s brain chemistry

Hector holds onto it for a long time though, even after they start having sex with each other until Chance himself realizes that Hector seems to have reaction to whenever he does something like hold him or anything like that both inside and outside of sexual encounters. Either through the temperature rising if they’re still objects or through a change in body language if they’re realized. And Chance acts accordingly.

Again, Hector was talking BIG TALK in those vents but I know what he is. I know he’s a sub and has the ability to top like a house of cards has the ability to withstand a gust of wind! The moment Chance or you act remotely in charge of anything, Hector crumbles like a de la Rosa mazapán!!!

So Chance will throw in a little something like (gently) pushing Hector down into the bed with just the right amount of strength to keep him from moving too much. Or if Hector is riding him, Chance will put his hands on Hector’s hips to make him go at the pace he wants him to

Chance is never too rough or uses too much strength though. He knows his strength. He always carefully calculates the right amount to use on you and Hector for it to be sexy for you

Chance is a freak himself though and will definitely play into it like politely manhandling Hector and you, if you’re into that, and maybe even doing the headlock thing during sex from the back if he’s feeling extra confident and he knows you like that

I feel like in general, Chance is typically down for whatever as long as he knows you (and Hector) are into something as long as it doesn’t cross any of his own boundaries. He can bottom or sub if you want to. But I feel like he mostly falls under the spectrum of a soft dom that could also serve as a service top if you squint. Like, he likes to be in charge, but he’s in charge for your pleasure and will do what he knows turns you on and gets you going

Again, doesn’t actually want to hurt you. But if you want him to be a smidge rougher and do whatever he wants you don’t have to tell him twice

And same goes for Hector

All three of you is whatever but the two definitely have their favorite scenarios that you three do

Hector likes service topping for the both of you at the same time or having the both of you at the same time. I think Hector still has that “I do everything for you” type of mentality and so he lets you treat him like a toy and thing to get you both off. But sometimes you and Chance team up to give him what he wants (because Hector deserves it for being so good)

*cough cough* sandwich him *cough hack* Sorry, I don’t know what that was. I had a tickle in my throat.

Chance likes doing his soft dom thing with you and Hector, where you two are all over him. But feel free to do something to him too if you want

You and Hector gave him head at the same time a couple of times and he genuinely had to focus on not busting too fast so you guys could keep going

And it’s whatever you want too babes, just tell them what you want

Whatever way you guys do it, in any way, it’s always a good time and you all come out covers in hickeys kiss marks

You have no clue where the lipstick came from but it adds to the aftermath

Aftercare is so funny though because after he catches his breath Chance just goes “So, do any of you guys want any water or snacks?” like you guys are taking a break between a campaign. It’s so funny and sweet

Chance is actually really good at aftercare. Very tender and sweet

[subtextdecoder]

I don’t talk about Queen that often, if ever. So now I’ve decided to pay a bit more attention to her, and a few things popped into my mind.

Queen’s ability is incredibly powerful. Her rules are literally capable of overthrowing Trust, even if only for a short time when the value gets high.

Remember when she made Firm Man literally kneel? I feel like I’ve overlooked that for so long. And while I sometimes read things like, "Too bad her rules aren’t strong enough against high Trust or Fear powers", I actually think that being able to contain them, even for just a few seconds, is already a huge feat. No?

Something I find funny is that, at first, I thought Mickey was her other dad. Like maybe Liu Zheng and Mickey were a couple because of her PV. I mean… Tell me they don't exude gay couple aura: toxic dads / cute dad vs. bad dad / the soft journalist getting swayed by evil corporate / wicked, wealthy older man seducing a younger, beautiful journalist… sorry, I got carried away.

He says, "Jump forward! Be brave! Don’t worry, we’re here with you", in a scene where she jumps, and then suddenly starts falling. It’s a nice transition, yes, but I think there’s more to it. Her fall happening right after they reassure her that everything will be okay, followed by her saying, "I won’t trust anyone anymore. I don’t need to rely on anyone either. I’ll only believe in myself and the rules I set", makes me believe she realized very early on that they were more focused on turning her into a hero and developing her powers than actually caring about her wellbeing.

Then the PV ends with this:

Mickey is so unbelievably creepy, seriously. His face makes me just as uncomfortable as Yen's (Uncle Rock).

Intentionally or not, her dad put at least two children in the care of very, very toxic and suspicious people, first his own daughter, and later, Cyan. This parallel makes Queen and Cyan’s friendship all the more compelling.

Is Liu Zheng really just blindly trusting creeps, or is he actually ill-intentioned too? Man, it’s so sad. I mean, if he really is the masked man in Spotlight, it wouldn’t be surprising. Even if he’s not outright "evil", he’s definitely surrounded by it on all sides.

[Say the line, Rolan 🫡]

"I thanked you once already. Don't be greedy," Rolan slurred, his wine-filled tankard swaying uncontrollably.

Tav looked the tiefling over: clearly drunk, his smug, arrogant expression reaching its apotheosis. His features were sharp as a blood-dipped knife in the half-lit hall. Smile so beautiful yet wolfish, as if ready to sink the sharp fangs into your flesh. And the eyes - burning, playful, inviting even. Tav could swear he checked her out just now, gaze slithering hungrily up and down her body.

And once she caught the tiefling staring, he was aware of it, too. But Rolan was not sorry about it in the slightest. His amber eyes narrowed dangerously, smirk transformed into a challenging grin. The wine must have knocked all sense of decency out of him. Good. Letting go of his ever-controlled, strict demeanor made Rolan entirely irresistible.

The tiefling's brow surged up, questioning, waiting for her to say something. Or, rather, DO anything about it.

"Just thirsty," Tav drawled, letting her legs carry her impossibly close to Rolan.

The tiefling didn't react, unaware of how atypical he acted, driven purely by his unspoken desires.

"Who am I to deny the needy?" Rolan chuckled. The wizard made another sip and passed the tankard to his midnight guest.

Her gaze would not leave his, even as she gulped the wine. But she didn't swallow the whole of it. After all, Tav was not the only one whose thirst must be quenched.

The tankard was quickly set onto the counter, forgotten about for the rest of the night.

Tav leaped to him as swiftly as a hunting cat spotting its prey. Rolan's mouth parted in a surprised gasp, and her lips crashed onto his in an instant. She poured the wine into him, but the tiefling was more eager to devour her tongue than taste the drink.

The violent need for closeness has overtaken them, and both welcomed it ardently.

Rolan grabbed Tav's hips, aligning their bodies as if they were shaped to fit each other perfectly. Scorching, tight, ravenous. The wizard's kisses grew reckless and demanding, and she reciprocated with no protest. Time stopped as the couple suffocated each other in want, until the need to grasp for air parted them.

"Was it too greedy for you?" Tav teased, hands finding their place on the tiefling's chest. She bit his lower lip, licking a stray drop of wine left behind, "I am still thirsty."

A feral glint settled in Rolan's eyes, "Drink me then. Be as greedy as you want," he breathed, barely finishing the sentence before pressing his lips into hers.

Unable to hide her arousal any longer, Tav pulled Rolan close until there was no space left between them. His body ran hot like fire of the Nine Hells, and she couldn't wait to get burned in his embrace. Even through their clothes, she felt how hard he was, the relentless friction dragging a raw, shameless moan from her mouth.

The realization sent shivers down the tiefling's spine, his grounding against Tav turning more agile.

"You enjoying it that much?" Rolan hummed, his tongue trailing a taunting path from her lips down her neck, "Can't imagine what sweet sounds that pretty mouth would make if I were inside."

The sensation of his sharp teeth against her pulse was overwhelming. She wanted Rolan to tease her. Take her. Ruin her.

"Why imagine if you can find out?" Tav questioned in ragged breaths.

The tiefling's burning eyes surged up to meet hers. Just for a short moment, Rolan seemed to finally sober up. The disbelief on his face looked incredibly charming - Tav couldn't help but chuckle gently. Taking advantage of his dazed state, she rubbed against him, making her own pulsating arousal known.

"Please, Rolan, be generous with me tonight," Tav purred, pressing soft kisses to his jaw.

The wizard huffed, drunken confidence making a quick return. But now, it was laced with something desperate yet grateful. Mere hours ago, Rolan was a man who seemingly lost it all. And now, he was about to ravish in the one thing he hadn't dared hope for: Tav. So warm. So perfect.

"You have no idea-," he said slowly, tugging at her shirt, trying to hold onto the remains of composure, "what you are doing to me."

But she knew, and she wanted him to indulge. Her deep, tender kiss was the only answer Tav gave.

Whatever restraint he had was shattered in the next breath. Her clothes were stripped away in a blur of motions, each piece discarded carelessly to the floor. The tiefling leaned her against the bar table, his eyes taking in every inch of her bare body. Speechless and fog-brained, he reached out, trailing his hand from her neck down to her stomach. The motion was achingly slow and gentle, as if Rolan was afraid to miss any part of her. Every curve, freckle, and scar melted under the adoration of his fingers, making Tav arch closer.

Feeling her body so trembling and needy under his touch brought a smirk to his face, "Come to think of it, I feel particularly generous tonight," the tiefling hissed, placing his palms on her hips, brushing his thumbs against her skin in tentative circles.

The wizard's little trick did wonders - Tav spread for him with ease, her inviting gaze made him crush his hips between her legs in a rushed, magnetic pull.

She rubbed her silk against his aching flesh, the hard outline of him so obvious now that no fabric could hide it.

"You sure take your sweet time," Tav murmured.

"I just enjoy you begging for it," Rolan groaned softly, feeling the burning friction between them, "But if you want me to be generous, allow me to indulge, too," his head leaned forward, nose brushing her taut nipple before his mouth closed over it.

As his hand nestled on her other breast, giving it no less attention, Tav was swept by the thunderstorm of his affection. Gasping brokenly, she tangled her fingers into the tiefling's hair, urging him closer. Rolan's generosity knew no bounds as he savoured her with worshipful bites, laps, and kisses.

"No wine in the realm comes close to tasting this refined," Rolan murmured, his tongue teasing her peak, before leaving a purple lovebite next to it.

But before he could lavish her further, muffled voices rose from upstairs. The lovers exchanged glances, realization hitting them. The Harpers. On the night rounds, probably.

Tav thought fast, silently pointing Rolan to the door next to the bar table. The wizard nodded and carefully guided her towards the room, his hand curling around her waist possessively, disregarding the urgency of the situation.

Thankfully for the couple, the small room wasn't occupied. They found themselves in complete darkness, the window in the far corner being the only faint source of light.

Silence hung between them. Tav pressed her ear to the door, trying to catch what was going on in the common room. Rolan, however, had no care in the world. Except for one.

Moments later, she felt his breath against her spine as the tiefling whispered, "Even in complete darkness, you look no less alluring." 

Rolan leaned into Tav, pressing small kisses to her shoulders. The realization that he was now completely naked coaxed a small moan out of her mouth.

The wizard's many ridges pricked her ever so slightly, sending pleasant tingling to Tav's most sensitive, aching parts. His erection, hot and pulsating, drew provocative images in her mind. But Rolan didn't rush, gliding his cock rhythmically against her inner thighs. One of his hands found her breast, the other slid between her legs. Slowly, he began caressing her sensitive bud, his careful thumb teasing it into electrifying shivers.

"Rolan, easy," Tav pleaded a little louder than she meant to, but her hips betrayed her, circling around his fingers, eager for more friction.

Satisfied, he snickered, "Everyone's favorite hero scared to be discovered in such an undignified position?" the tiefling hissed into her ear, his lisp getting out of control.

The tiefling's strokes suddenly quickened, and her body responded immediately: arching, whimpering, demanding.

"You are such a prick," she whispered in response, her words mixed in with lewd groans, "If we get caught, our night is over."

"Oh, I don't think so," Rolan leaned forward, biting at her earlobe, "I have my own theory about it."

Tav's hand reached behind her, holding his head close to her ear - his ragged breathing was driving her mad with lust, "Let's hear it."

The quiet, menacing laugh the wizard let out made her heart quiver in anticipation.

"You are so wet for me already," Rolan rasped against her ear. The pace of his fingers slowed again as he taunted her, "Even if we are to be discovered, I don't think you would want me to stop. Maybe you will even let them watch if it means you still get to feel my cock inside of you."

Hearing such raw confessions coming from the wizard - a scholar in his craft, so well-read and arrogant - sent Tav into a frenzy. She twisted her hips impatiently, but Rolan's fingers wouldn't resume their quick moves, keeping the strokes painfully light.

"Oh, you are greedy," he scoffed playfully, although she could feel his core twitching impatiently against her thighs, "I thought you wanted me to stop being a prick and keep it quiet and decent. Am I wrong?"

Tav leaned in even closer into his hungry embrace, faltering, "I asked you to be generous. So yes, you are wrong."

The tiefling chuckled, groping the curves of her breast, "I am never wrong."

And when his fingers immediately stroked her at an even faster pace, Tav rasped shamelessly, slamming her palms against the door.

"Rolan," she whimpered, driving her hips into him, angling herself just right so his length dragged along her soaked folds.

The tiefling groaned, his hands entwining her body as he began grinding against her wetness.

"Louder," Rolan hissed, her affection twisting his mind harder than wine, "Let them all hear who finally made you discard your armor," he teased, sucking the sensitive skin of her neck. His hands were now back to fondling her breasts, digging into every swell possessively. The grinding grew more intense with each passing second, flaring from her sharp, demanding moans mixed in with his name. And Rolan drank every moment of it.

Finally, Tav snapped, turning around and catching his breathless mouth with hers. Their kiss was deep, hungrier than any touch or gasp they shared tonight. Their eyes met despite the darkness as they parted.

"Please," Tav whispered softly, her intent unmistakable as she moved his hands down to her hips. Her gentle plea undid Rolan completely, but he made sure to cover it as smoothly as he could.

"What a polite perfection," the tiefling replied, swiftly sweeping Tav off her feet, lifting her with ease. To her surprise, he carried her quickly to the room's window.

Rolan set her onto the windowsill, pausing at the irresistible beauty of Tav once the moonlight hit her. And she watched him too, lips parting involuntarily: bare and trembling, Rolan looked so raw, so unguarded. A rare tulip in the vast field of dandelions.

He smirked, noticing how Tav explored him. Silent, breathing huskily, he stepped in between her parted legs, rubbing his burning length against the cooling feel of her wet silk.

"Are you trying to be original when the bed is right there?" Tav teased in a broken hum, her hands slid at his ridged sides to draw him closer.

Rolan glanced at her as if the answer was obvious, "I want to see you."

He held her gaze for a solid moment, so sincere and soft in the silver light of the moon.

"I want to see how you enjoy yourself-," Rolan continued as he aligned himself against her entrance, making Tav gasp in anticipation, "-your lips trembling when you sing those sweet moans for me-," he huffed, thrusting into her slowly, letting her feel every inch of his hot, twitching passion, "-and your body falling apart the moment you become mine," Rolan groaned, filling her up completely.

Tav responded with a gasp that was no less aching. Her hands shot up, pulling him into another scorching kiss. His thrusts, rhythmic and slow at first, quickly grew ragged and deep. Her heat, her yearning tongue, the way she was looking at him all this time, smothered Rolan with worshipful need.

They were kissing sloppily, mouths completely uncoordinated, consumed by lustful moans.

"You are relentless," Tav confessed breathlessly, biting at his jaw, as Rolan hit the perfect spot.

"You have no idea," he smirked, burrowing his cock deeper, compelling her to scream his name. Harpers would definitely hear her if they remained in the common room. But Rolan didn't care if the whole inn found out. They can whisper and rumor all they want. Only he gets to feel how her walls tighten around his length, only he can make her yell so wantonly.

"Louder," he demanded, lifting Tav up with ease, his thrusts maddeningly fast. She wrapped her legs around him, their bodies gliding against each other, chasing one wave of pleasure after the next.

"Rolan, I-," she stuttered as he pushed harder. Tav's hips began to move on their own, trying to match his pace, her squirming unashamed and erratic. They rode each other as if possessed, their names tumbling from their lips.

"You feel incredible," Rolan groaned, clinging tighter to her, "So warm, so tight... I can't hold back much longer."

"Don't fight it," Tav purred, "I am close, too."

Her words made his thrusts desperate and raw. Rolan's eyes locked on hers immediately, "Come for me, before we both succumb to madness."

Rolan's rasping plea drove Tav into a spiraling orgasm, as she whimpered his name one last time. Her lover followed, spilling into her without stopping his thrusts, claiming her for himself.

The room grew silent again, filled only with their painful gasps for air. Despite it all, they could not stop looking at each other, eyes filled with lust and something beyond - adoration and fragile gratitude.

Finally, Rolan moved, placing them both onto an old, small bed in the corner. They held each other close, without bothering to pull apart as the tantalizing aftershocks of their union still lasted.

Tav gently brushed a stray lock of his hair behind his ear, marveling at how gorgeous Rolan looked when he was finally at peace. 

"Now that you saw me falling apart, want to try out the old-fashioned bed?" she teased.

"Gladly," Rolan smirked, pulling her into a reverent kiss.

Dear Artists

I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but if you're one of those artists who posts their work and finds that it's not getting as much attention as you'd like it to, you're not alone, and that doesn't mean your art isn't beautiful.

-----

I've seen some pretty damn impressive art and story telling skills from underrated artists on a lot of social media apps, including this one. And unfortunately, a lot of the artworks/ artists I've seen don't have many likes, reposts, comments, ect. I don't know why that is, but don't let it discourage you! I'm sure the people liking your work are thinking the same thing as me:

-----

"Why does this artist not have more followers/ more love for their work?? It's amazing!"

-----

Personally, I don't know why, and I often feel bad about my art because of that. There are a lot of big artists out there, and somehow, things clicked for them. Whether it be because of networking, posting a lot every day, collaborating with other artists a lot, showing their work in galleries, comic cons, art festivals, or posting it on multiple different social media platforms- I don't know. A lot of that is probably why those artists are big.

-----

HOWEVER:

-----

You don't have to be a big artist for your work to mean something to someone. You don't have to be a successful artist for people to like your work and hire you for an art job. You don't even have to be all that skilled with your art techniques as long as you have a compelling story. There are many different art mediums you could try out, and maybe if you switch to another medium, your work will completely transform for the better! I don't know.

-----

Sometimes you may feel like things won't ever go your way, but never- NEVER- blame that on your skills as an artist. (If you're a beginner, obviously it'll take time to improve your skills, but even then, don't blame your skills. If you have a story to tell, and YOU love it, you tell it). The internet's a messed up place. Posts get pushed around everywhere- sometimes completely missing the right audience, I guess.

-----

Someday things will click though. There are plenty of creators that felt like things weren't working out so well when they first started, but eventually they made something (oftentimes ONE thing) that resonated with the world. For example: Scott Cawthon with FNAF, plenty of artists with stories featuring their OCs, Undertale AU creators, plenty of musicians with at least one song going viral, the guy who made the backrooms, even 70+ years ago with popular War posters made by artists like the "WE WANT YOU" poster or the "WE CAN DO IT" poster

-----

I'm not sure if I'm making any sense with what I'm trying to say here (it's 2 am), but to sum things up: keep trying, there's nothing wrong with your art- you just gotta find the right audience, maybe try a different medium to shake things up, and most importantly:

-----

LOVE WHAT YOU CREATE

-----

It doesn't matter if it's fanart or original art. If you love it, someone else will, too. Doesn't matter if it's 12 people, or 1000 people. Even one person loving it is awesome.

my second writing anniversary is here :)

thank you for sticking with me for another year. since my last anniversary, i've published a total of 69,904 words❣️ didn't reach my goal of 100k, but i am giving myself grace as it has been a pretty shitty year 🥹

Tag Game: Hopeful Little Queer Shows 🌈

Tagged by @thisonelikesaliens 💙 This post was inspired by soypim's lovely reflection on the question of "what gives you hope?".

I'm not a particularly positive or optimistic person but in the face of all the unrelenting shit that has happened in the world these last few years I've been trying to cultivate my own theory of hope to get me through. To keep it brief, I've settled on thinking about hope in three ways:

A rebellion against despair

A commitment to seeing possibilities where others see none

A choice of courage over comfort

Here are a few QL shows that remind me of those three elements...

Love for Love's Sake

Hope is a rebellion against despair. It's a refusal to believe that joy can't exist alongside grief and pain. It compels us to take things day-by-day and ask “what is my definition of joy for this moment?"

At the beginning of Love for Love's Sake, Tae Myung-ha explains that people who have awful lives can still be happy. Although it takes some time for him to apply that lesson to himself, there's something beautiful about him eventually seeking a second try at life so that he can find the happiness hidden in each day going forward.

Fangs of Fortune

Hope is a commitment to seeing possibilities where others see none. It doesn't mean we deny the reality of our situation but instead continue onwards through uncertainty, always believing the future has not yet been lost to history.

As the title suggests, Fangs of Fortune ends with tragedy. All that is left of Zhuo Yichen's great love is a whisper of his soul, lost somewhere between the human and demon world that used to divide them. The last scene we see of Yichen is him journeying across the land in darkness, promising to search every mountain and sea, his pursuit as unwavering as his feelings. It might take centuries to find and bring his love back, but "no matter how long the night is, it can't suppress the dawn."

Old Fashion Cupcake

Hope is choosing courage over comfort. It's understanding that to build new futures, we first need to look inwards and claim ourselves as sites of change.

Nozue from Old Fashion Cupcake lives a comfortable but stifling life ("I do the same thing everyday, nothing good happens, but nothing bad happens either"). He has lost himself, choosing to endure rather than be happy. But when he starts embracing experiences that challenge the image he has of himself, he soon recognizes the need to bravely chase the life he wants to build. There's always time to choose you no matter how uncomfortable it might feel to change.

Bonus Pick: China's QL Renaissance

If you had told me at the beginning of 2025 that we would get omegaverse, Priest and Chai Jidan adaptations, period danmei, L-word style baihe, queer coming of age stories, etc., I would have assumed you were off your rocker. (And that’s not even including Guo Jingming’s upcoming dramas that are bound to be hella gay as well!)

But here we are. If that's not a hopeful sign from the universe that the future is unknown and full of possibility, I don't know what is 😂

[my-rose-tinted-glasses]

Well I'm going on holiday for a week so I'm posting this one a little earlier than usual. I'll still be around and checking my notifs but in general it will be more about enjoying the blues and greens and trying this thing called sleeping, which people assure me it's quite important to your general well being. Tag me in everything you think I wanna see, so I don't miss it. As usual, spoilers and opinions below, read at your own risk.

QL - Currently Watching

🇯🇵 10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40 [4/12] - I adore them. Tojo is so adorable. I love that he's so good at his job. Also I love the plushie and that it speaks. It's all very wholesome and I'm loving it.

🇯🇵 Ayaka Is in Love with Hiroko 2nd Stage [3/6] - Thanks to some folks here I'm now enjoying this one a bit more. Hiroko is hurting and Ayaka is trying so hard but you can't really make someone see themselves the way we do. (I'm still here, but I'm hoping to catch up on my holidays)

🇹🇭 Doctor's Mine [2/10] - A wise rabbit said once: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

🇹🇭 Memoir of Rati [6/12] - How are we already midway through this? Anyway, Inn and Great are very compelling and they look great and I will await the inevitable pain that lies ahead, knowing that gmmtv will not try something novel and not have a happy ending for these two. Aou and Boom are great as usual.

🇹🇭 My Sweetheart Jom [11/12] - It's me. I'm the problem. Pretty landscapes tho.

🇹🇭 Reset [8/10] - They are beautiful.

🇨🇳 Revenged Love [14/24] - I can't decide what I like more. The show or everyone loosing their minds over it? I don't know but I'm having a great time. With that said, I need my sides to become boyfriends soon. Like, next episode soon. Pretty please???

🇹🇼 Secret Lover [2/12] - The pacing feels a bit weird. I mean I usually don't mind when they go a bit faster but I could've used a bit more of secret pining. Confession in episode 2 feels too early. Curious about how this one is gonna go. They seem like they have good chemistry, although with Taiwan that's usually a given.

🇯🇵 Stay by My Side after the Rain [5/12] - I hate that woman with a passion. I need her to have an accident of some sort. It's the way that Mashiro loses his spark when he's around her or talking to her. I hate it. I love our mains tho. Kanade confiding in the people from the office was great, although I haven't completely forgiven Kanamori, but I guess she's trying. That kiss and the subsequent reaction was such a great scene.

🇹🇭 Suntiny [5/10] - Nuea is getting on my nerves a bit. Ok, more than a bit. I feel terrible for Sun. He's trying so hard but he doesn't feel worthy and nothing that Nuea is doing is helping any. I guess the dancing scene was pretty.

🇰🇷 Sweetheart Service [12,5/12] - Mini rant coming. Strongberry is testing my patience. This was the last time I've had any type of expectations for them. First that airbrushing is out of control. That kiss looked like two rubber dolls kissing. I'm sorry but it's insane by any standards. Second, how can you mess up such a simple concept in such a short time? That's the real feat of this show. Third! It's been over a week and they only released the second part of the final ep for members? what the actual fuck? I'm so over this.

🇹🇭 The Next Prince [13/14] - All that money...

🇹🇼 The Promise of the Soul [6/12] - I don't know what they put in the water but whatever it is, I am obsessed. They mean everything to me. I can't explain it, besides the fact that they are pretty, but I mean, it's not like that's a rarity. But who cares? This is giving me so much joy, I will not question it and just paddle away in my tiny ship alongside @thisonelikesaliens, while we lose our minds over this show.

🇯🇵 The Proper Way to Write Love [1/8] - The vibes are weird. Not in a bad way, just different. I'm curious about where this is going, but I like the setup. They are both unhinged, one more externally, the other more internally. This one comes to us by two lovely fansubbers @renairubisubs. Thank you!

🇯🇵The Summer Hikaru Died (Anime) [4/12] - This show is incredible. The visuals are outstanding but it wrecks me every week. It's so painful. Yoshiki breaks my heart. I can't articulate right now. Just pain, beautiful pain.

QL - Finished

🇹🇭 Boys in Love - It started great but it became a bit boring towards the end for me. I do love all the couples and the conflicts were all realistic even if a bit repetitive. This was very cute. I wish I had more of the teachers but if I'm honest I expected even less. Papang was such a treat here. I love them.

🇯🇵 Depth of Field - It started strong but even if Japan is usually skilled at using time this was just too short for the story they wanted to tell. The last two episodes felt rushed and stuff was processed off screen, so I wish I'd seen more of Konno's journey. I think if we had a bit more of his internal monologue before the time skip it might've helped fill in some gaps. The last two episodes just felt really rushed. I do love Hayakawa and I really wish they eventually give Usa a big and juicy bl role.

🇯🇵 Even Though We're Adults - This was a show I watched. Look, it's not even that it's bad, it's just different in a way that I never fully embraced. There were some interesting aspects to this and certainly the message is appealing enough for me, but I just felt disconnected for most of it to give an appropriate review.

🇯🇵I Became the Main Role of a BL Drama S2 - It was fun. I love Robin with all my heart so to see him here getting to be chaotic and funny was a delight. I felt like for a second season the non communication dragged a bit too much. But to be fair, they are both idiots. I want more.

🇹🇭 Knock Out - I can appreciate a lot about this show, it's just not the show for me. It was too messy in the writing and I didn't particularly like the mains from the get. I do love Itt and Mawin and I liked that they were on the other side of the pda spectrum. Variety is good. Not all relationships look alike.

🇹🇭 Mission to the Moon - It could've been a film. I hate this format. I like them. Don't ask me why tho. Lord knows it's not because they are great actors. And, I guess they're pretty, but I mean this is bl, no shortage of that. But something kept me going despite this format. Maybe one day I will know what it was.

🇹🇭 My Stubborn - I watched it. A masterpiece it is not. But also, it wasn't aiming for that. And for what it was aiming for, it delivered. I can respect that.

🇹🇭 Pit Babe S2 - I love Benz and Garfield and I need them to be mains in something or at least have bigger side roles. With that said, everything else... taking a cue from the wise rabbit.

🇹🇭 The Bangkok Boy - What a ride this was. For a show that had no budget and a lot of first time actors this was incredible. The fight scenes were good, there was a gigantic cast but I felt like I got to know them all well enough, and I know that that left less time for the L in our BL, but honestly, I don't care. The mains delivered when they needed to and that scene will stay in my mind for a long time. The editing was so effective, so well done. Just such an entertaining show overall. I want a second season.

🇹🇭 The Ex-Morning - I feel like Krist and Singto were let down by the writing. But when they were on screen it was a joy to watch. The chemistry, how comfortable they obviously are with each other, how good they both are at the little gestures. They are now in a different place and they can have fun with it and it made watching them fun for me. The rest, was kind of a mess.

QL - Dropped / On Hold 🇹🇭🇯🇵 Dating Game - Might go back and binge mainly for Fluke. First impressions here.

Non QL - Finished Too many shows, couldn't finish anything else.

Upcoming - August 01/08 - 🇹🇭 I'm the Most Beautiful Count MDL | Trailer 02/08 - 🇹🇭 Shine MDL | Trailer 09/08 - 🇹🇭 Khemjira MDL | Trailer 11/08 - 🇹🇭 Rearrange MDL | Teaser 12/08 - 🇯🇵Love Sea: Ai no Ibasho MDL | Trailer ??/08 - 🇹🇭 Flavor of Us MDL | Teaser

That's all for now. As I said I'm going on holidays, so y'all have fun with our silly little shows and please tag me in anything. I trust your judgement. I can't stay too long away from this place anyway. Have a wonderful week and happy watching!💜

Day 07: Cap-IM Sunday Fanworks from past Cap-IM events

Rounding out the 2025 @cap-ironman rec week with my favorite Cap-IM fanworks. There are some real gems coming out of Cap-IM's events every year, and this is only a small selection of all the fantastic writing and art that I've seen throughout the years:

Speak and Be Married by EvilDime (E | 9.1k)

In a fit of rage and wanting to humiliate Prince Tony, King Howard offers Tony’s hand in marriage to the first person who will offer for him. Neither Howard nor Tony expect Steve Rogers, the realm’s most eligible knight, to offer.

Like looking in a funhouse mirror by BladeoftheNebula & zappedbysnow (T | 5.3k)

When Steve had been short and skinny, no one had even looked twice at him. He’d been missing out on the war, on love, on not getting beat up behind half the buildings in Brooklyn. So just what in God’s name was happening here? Because Little Him had Tony eating out of the palm of his damn hand. All Steve wanted to do is pluck up the courage to ask Tony out - He didn't expect to have a tiny rival drop out of thin air and right into Tony's arms.

Some Kind of Madness by blue_jack (E | 6.6k)

“Mmm, Steve, I love your tits.”

The Unintentional Reevaluation of Natasha Stark by kdm103020 (T | 6k)

Howard's daughter drives her nuts. In which Natasha Antonia Stark morphs from Steph's personal nightmare into...well, something else. She's not quite sure about that yet.

Stuck on You by ashes0909 & rueckenfigur (T | 12.3k)

“Don’t worry, the shield is a beauty," Steve assured Tony. "I doubt we’ll be covering it with stickers for much longer. It won’t become a habit.” Of course, it eventually became much more than a simple habit.

in the storm, we stay clear by Thahire (E | 4.4k)

Beside him, Tony’s getting comfortable, too, unknotting his tie with one hand, the other tapping away on his phone. The light from his phone illuminates his profile. Steve forces his gaze way when he realizes he’s been staring at Tony’s mouth for a solid five seconds. It’s going to be a long wait. Steve and Tony's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. It leads to some misunderstandings and then finally some long overdue conversations.

You Can Take My Breath Away by FrankTheSnek (M | 6.5k)

Tony has been impotent since his abduction in Afghanistan. Years have passed and he's grown to accept it, but things start to change when Steve enters his life. It's more than physical need reawakening, and Tony doesn't know how to handle it. He's forgotten what intimacy feels like, and it's a damn scary thing.

you’ll be okay, we can talk tomorrow by soliloquent (T | 3.9k)

As he leaves, Steve deadpans, “I hate everyone here, and I regret every single thing I’ve done for you all. Tony, do bother coming after me. You’re the first person I’d want around.” “Yep. Definitely only lies,” Tony says, scrubbing a hand over his eyes. or: Steve is hit by a spell that compels him to speak only lies, and to their mutual discomfort, Tony appears to be the key to breaking it. 💫

[izzyfishie]

I keep thinking about Sang-woo and Gi-hun’s friendship. Even though we don’t have a lot of detailed information about how long they were actually close, it is canon that they were childhood best friends. They were probably around 7 to 13 years old during that time? Either way, I don’t see any real reason why they would’ve lost touch after that period, at least not before Sang-woo left for SNU. Especially because they were best friends, and I truly believe Gi-hun would’ve made an effort to stay in contact. After all, they lived in the same neighborhood, and their mothers knew each other.

And if I remember correctly, wasn’t it mentioned in an interview that Sang-woo was jealous of how easily Gi-hun made friends and how well-liked he was? That makes me think Sang-woo probably struggled to form connections with other classmates. I like to believe that the only truly meaningful relationships Sang-woo ever had were with his mother and with Gi-hun. You can clearly see in the show that there’s something strong and special between them.

I also think a lot about how they became best friends. Not just regular friends - best friends 🥲 I can totally imagine Gi-hun being the one to approach Sang-woo first and try to befriend him. And honestly, that’s just really sweet to think about. Gi-hun and Sang-woo have such different personalities, yet Gi-hun still found something in Sang-woo that made him want to become close to him. I think that’s beautiful, and that contrast is what makes their friendship so compelling.

omg anon this is STUNNING TYSM FOR WRITING THIS!!!!

i think sangwoo and gihun started losing contact partway thru sangwoo’s college (like.. what would be junior year/3rd year? i love the concept of them still being friends during college but i think that around then would be the turning point.

AND YES! it is canon that sangwoo is envious of gihun’s warmth. but he also canonically finds him charming 👀 (im not pulling this info out of my ass btw i can provide all my sources, most of which are from the man park haesoo himself!!)

i think sangwoo did struggle to make friends because he was so focused on his own goals and what he needed to do for himself for his future. i also think he was quite awkward and not good at forming social connections/lacking the proper ability to (hashtag autism or smth)

so gihun was one of sangwoo’s only main friends imo. he isn’t sociable or popular like gihun. he probably got picked on a little too.

i too wonder how they became best friends!! i think gihun was very welcoming to sangwoo and really wanted to be friends with him so he kept seeking him out when they were younger. but i also think their moms were friends so they were familiar with one another but didn’t really form a big friendship until a few years later. (i’m talking like 5/6 years old btw haha)

ughhhh their relationship is so beautiful i’m going to fucking cry :((((

thank you so much for this ask, anon!!!!

"My father is a sadist and I am my father's son...Someone put their hand in my heart and they didn't take it back out. If I died tonight, no one would notice for weeks. My father is a sadist and I am my father's son. I learned it well. Do I have the stomach for it? Do you really want to know?" -- Journal, Day Three by Richard Siken.

[sieglinde-freud]

let it be known that i love prince inigo with my whole soul. however sometimes it is SO much fun to think about owain and his two most loyal-est knights you ever seen: worst guy in the world #1 and worst guy in the world #2. i love retainer inigo and severa so much. retainers who bully you and make fun of you and trash on you but they’d leave behind everyone and everything they ever knew to follow you and protect you in a whole new universe. they love you so much that they’d swear allegiance to total strangers but that loyalty pales in comparison to what they’d do for you. and they were all lovers!!!!!!!

[minticecodes]

uhh i got carried away. @put-me-out-of-my-destiny ty for the request, it was (too) fun.

[ID: Image one: Illustration of fem V in Eva's outfit, a black longsleeve gown with slits up the legs and shouders, high heels, and red shawl bunched across her arms. Her tattooed legs are visible through the gown slits. She stands on a ruined battlefield, book open in one hand and cane used in the other. Her expression is serious as she reads from her book. At her back is a translucent Eva, face turned away with hair and clothes billowing in the wind, as she reads from her spellbook.

Image two: Greyscale portrait of fem Vergil in Eva's outfit. She has a slicked back mullet and dark eyebags, and gazes aside seriously, hand at her chest. There is a hint of cleavage. Image three: The same portrait of Vergil, now with red accents (and less eyebags). She holds a rose close. It's bright red and alive, despite the seemingly wilting edges; the thorns send blood dripping down her fingers. Her lips are red; the lipstick's been smudged. End ID]

nobody wants to live in my beautiful world with me where the items you make at the end of this quiz are actively malicious and fucked up. on the one hand i literally never said it was metal. on the other hand if you put a bunch of blood into stone and wood and ended up with a metal ring that started changing shape on its own then it's probably got some other issues that might make it difficult to cut it don't you think? "stone and wood and blood don't make a ring" buddy at what point in your time in this workshop that had a literal magic wand in it did you think it was going to be rooted in reality. do you want me to tell you It's A Cursed Magical Ring? kill all the fun and mystique of it? where's your fucking whimsy

Been playing Disco Elysium with my friends and it's like a switch flipped in my brain this past week and now all I'm thinking about is Kim Kitsuragi and Harrier du Bois. Let me outttt!!!!
