All Night Long | Klaus Mikaelson

Summary: Klaus turns up to your bedroom on the full moon, just before your first werewolf transformation. You find yourself fantasising about the time you slept together.

Word Count: <1k

You stood by the window, staring out at the New Orleans skyline.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

The voice made you jump. You turned around to see Klaus leaning against the doorframe of your bedroom.

You would never get used to vampires and their uncanny ability to creep up on people.

Klaus was dressed in all black, arms folded. His lips glinted blood red, like he'd just finished a meal.

You shrugged. "I prefer the mountains."

Klaus walked to the space beside you and gazed out of the window too. The pale light of the moon bathed his face in a eerie glow.

Klaus turned to you, catching you staring at him. You hid your blush with your hair.

"How are things?" He asked.

"I haven't killed anyone else since I activated my werewolf curse, if that's what you're wondering," you snapped.

Klaus's voice was serious. "I was asking about you."

You scoffed. "Since when did you care about me? I'm basically just a stupid little project to you... let's see what happens to the new girl with the werewolf gene now she's gone and killed someone."

Klaus tutted. "Don't be like that, little wolf. I do care about you."

You raised one eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yes!" Klaus smiled, and it was close to friendly.

You noticed the two brown moles on Klaus's neck. Suddenly, it was that night you shared together again.

-

"Don't stop," you moaned. You were straddling Klaus, smirking as he ripped the buttons of your shirt.

You dipped down and pressed your lips to Klaus's jaw, tracing a line down to his neck. You kissed his moles, one by one.

Klaus gasped. A strangled moan escaped his lips, almost like a purr.

Suddenly, he flipped you over, so he was on top. He dove in.

-

"Y/n?"

Klaus's voice shook you out of your flashback. You weren't used to hearing your real name come out of his mouth.

"You were miles away," Klaus said. "Somewhere good I hope."

You sighed, turning back to the window. You looked out at the night sky and frowned.

"The moon's almost full," you said, warily.

Klaus watched you intently.

"You're worried about your imminent transformation," he said, more as a statement rather than a question.

"I am," you confessed. "If you were a new werewolf on her very first full moon, you'd be worried too."

Klaus laughed, and you realised this was the first time you'd ever seen any genuine emotion from him.

"I could... transform as well, tonight. Give you some company as you howl at the moon out on the Bayou."

Your eyes widened. "You'd do that for me? You haven't changed into a werewolf in years. That's going to hurt like hell."

Klaus shrugged. "What's a little pain to an Original?" His expression grew serious. "Plus, some things are worth changing for."

You touched his hand and smiled. --- The next morning, you woke up in a clearing in the middle of the woods.

You were naked, sweaty, and covered in mud.

The memories from the night before flashed through your mind: you and Klaus, both in wolf form, splashing around in the lagoon, nipping each other with excited mouths.

You heard a rustling.

Klaus was walking towards you, fully dressed.

He'd washed off all the mud, but you noticed a remnant of last night that had been left behind - a branch of a fern caught in his blonde hair.

Klaus handed you a blanket. "Same again, on the next full moon?"

You smirked. "You bet."

I wasn't a fan of the original Creature of the Black Lagoon Skullector outfit since I didn't like the bathing suit or crimped fabric. So this is just me playing around with my Skullector doll to better suit my collection. I opted for a 1950s style summer dress as I felt that was a fun fashion period for the creature and picked black and green to still maintain the monochromatic look of the doll. In a fun play on the poodle skirt motif, I went with an anchor to play with the nautical theming, so I hand embroidered the design onto the skirt by tripling up on regular thread and stitching it in. It's a bit janky bvut I like the overall look of it. For the fins and shoes, I did hem and haw about it, but after finding out the boots' heels can be boiled and popped out without damage, I opted to treat the boots and arm things as a second skin to the doll, as I feel like her lack of custom details is pretty noticeable when redressed. I ended up making a pair of custom shoes for her using layers of cardboard as her soles then sculpting on the soles and heels using milliput. I didn't want to distract from the sculpted boots so I kept the shoes pretty plain. It may seem a bit excessive making shoes for boots, but I do wish the base doll had custom fins and this is my compromise. I also did fix up her factory paint as I felt like the eyelashes were janky and poorly designed and I also touched up a few things to make it more symetrical. Overall it's a simple outfit but I really like how it suits my Skullector doll.

On The Moonlit Path~ Eric Carr

Special request for @chikarachick!

Esme Rogers, was a well known detective. With in the past year, she had solved multiple cases dealing with the supernatural, ranging from mythical creatures such mermaids and vampires to cryptids. She had just recently uncovered ring of undercover movie pirates posing in costumes from the the creature of the black lagoon.

Esme was heading back to her home in Topanga California; it was starting to get dark as she made her way through the winding roads. Her gas tank light had come on 5 minutes ago and she still had 30 miles to go before she'd be finally home. She was awful tired and hungry, it had been a long journey. She decided that it would be best to stop for the night in the next town she came upon.

Soon she started seeing a lot of abandoned old houses and stores. The sign for the town even looked dilapidated; Esme could barely make out what it said. "Welcome to Wolf Creek springs." She read out to herself. "Hmm, interesting." She decided to continue on, till she found an older looking house. It seemed to still be well cared for and in good condition. The lights were on, and a car in the gravel driveway. "Perhaps, I might be able to stay the night there!" She thought, pulling into the driveway.

She parked and got out walking up the steps to the wide front porch. She noticed that there were two fox statues on either side of the front door, and the brass knocker was in the shape of a fox head. Esme took a deep breath as she used the knocker. Seconds later the door began to open, an older distinguished looking gentleman answered it. "May I help you?" He asked kindly. Esme smiled nervously. "Um, I was wondering if it would be possible for me to stay here for the night? I don't have much gas left, and I still have a long way home. "

Before the older gentleman could respond a younger man's voice called out from behind him. "Argyle, who's that at the door?" Suddenly a handsome young man with dark curly hair appeared. "Oh, hello there!" "This young lady has run into a spot of trouble Master Eric. Her car is about to run out of gas and she has a long way home. I think sir,if you are agreeable to it she ought to stay here." Argyle said looking urgently at his master. "Yes, of course come in Miss..Er..." "Esme, Esme Rogers" Esme said reaching her hand out. Eric took her little hand in his and placed a tender kiss on the back of her hand.

"Enchanté, Ms. Rogers. Please come in! Twilight has begun." He led her into the house. "I hope you will be comfortable, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you this evening. I have some urgent business to attend to. Argyle will see to your room. Hannah!" Eric called, a little older woman appeared. She had motherly air about and gave you a soft smile. "Hannah, please see that our guest gets a warm meal and a hot bath." Eric requested as he took Esme's trenchcoat.

"Of course Master Eric, Come with me my dear!" The older lady took her by the hand; leading her to the massive kitchen. The kitchen was a glow with the warmth from the oven. Esme could smell fresh bread and smoking meat; all at once she realized how hungry she truly was. However it didn't distract her from her curiosity about this house and it's mysterious master. "Hannah, if you don't mind me asking what's the story behind this place?" Hannah poured water into an old fashioned tea kettle. "This is Wolf Creek Manor, Miss. It belongs to the Carr family. Master Eric is one of last members of the original owners. He inherited it from his father after he passed away. Some people believe the manor is enchanted or haunted." Esme's eyes widened in anticipation. "Oh, and why is that Hannah?" Hannah looked up from the bread she was cutting. "Because of the curse Miss, The whole Carr family is believed to be cursed by an old witch who lived not five miles from here. It is said, that whoever travels passed the Manor on a full moon must stay on the Moonlit path; never diverting lest they should wish to meet their fate at the hands of the werewolf brothers...."

"Moon lady"

Leonidas x selene! Reader

For those who don't know, Selene was the goddess and representation of the moon in Greek mythology.

English is not my first language so I apologize for any mistakes!

● first, how did you meet? How do the "human" moon and the king of Sparta meet?

● well, It was on one occasion when he went out for a walk at night. That day he had argued with the oracle so he was quite stressed, and going for a walk at night sounded like a good idea.

● reaching a cliff, he found you, seeing the crescent moon

● He was quite confused, it wasn't common for his people to go out at night

● He took his shield and called to you, asking who you were. although unlike what he expected, you got scared

● You explained that you were only there to see the moon, he was still suspicious, but in the end he accepted your answer

● He thought of you as a strange woman, not only because of your nervous but calm personality, but also because of your interest in the moon.

● a woman who sees the moon in the city of the sun, it's strange just to say it

● you managed to get along during the time you spent there, so you agreed to meet again on that cliff

● it took you a while to reveal to him that you were a goddess, this man is not very discreet when it comes to his hatred for the gods

● when you told him he was a little upset, but he let it go because by that time you were already friends

"Fine, at this rate I have no choice but to stay."

● boy admit that you care about her

● your routine was maintained, meeting on that cliff to talk, or eat on certain occasions that he brought you food

● sometimes you get a little insecure because you're afraid that humans will get bored of you, so he comforts you

● He noticed that the moon barely rises at those moment's... but he decided not to say anything

● the confession of love was quite... spontaneous?

● It was a day that Leo had brought you food, common.

"I can't believe I fell in love with you"

"What"

● woman can no longer eat in peace.

● but seriously, You were very happy when he said that, it was just the shock of the moment.

● you immediately started dating, although it didn't change your routine that much, it only added the signs of love of a romantic couple

● You once bathed together in a lagoon but we are not here to discuss what happened that day (at least not today)

● The Battle of Thermopylae was a difficult time for you, you went through the 5 stages of grief in a matter of seconds

● fortunately you were a goddess and you were quickly able to go to Valhalla, where you met him again

● you were in peace for a long time, and you thought it would stay that way

● but the other gods are idiots, so it couldn't be

● Although you already knew about Ragnarok, you did not expect Leonidas to agree to fight, even if you knew his nature and ideals, you didn't think that he would put his eternal life in danger for humanity

● internally you really didn't care that much about humanity, what bothered you was that he was putting humanity over you, or at least that's how you felt.

● you are not the best at hiding your feelings, and it is not so easy to do it from someone who has known you for centuries.

● You ended up talking about it, and he assured you that he would win, always having his confident attitude that you loved so much.

● although you were still a little distrustful, but you knew that it was a hopeless case to try to talk him out of fighting, so you accepted his decision

● you refused to be on the steps of the gods, So you stayed in a separate room with a screen so you could watch the fights.

● although when his round arrived you ended up leaving the room, staying on the roof of the coliseum where you had a good view of the fight

● you were nervous, but you had nothing else to do other than wish that your beloved king came out of that arena alive

I'm not exactly back (I have school and I'm lacking inspiration) but I'm doing the best I can (*/▽＼*)

[girl4music]

Reading some of the scripts on XenaGabrielle.com.

They definitely toned down the gay in a lot of them.

When I say “toned down”, I mean by Xena standards.

Because obviously, Xena is very queer show anyway.

But like for example here in ‘Antony and Cleopatra’…

Gabrielle is not sat beside Xena - who’s in the lagoon.

She’s in there with her… as Antony is looking at them and Xena tries the “maze gaze” thing with Gabrielle.

I always make it a point that the male gaze in Xena isn’t actually “the male gaze” because it’s always subverted.

It’s always used for their own manipulative purposes because Xena uses her “feminine wiles” to get her way - putting all the power and control in her hands. Not men.

They change this entire scene to being in the palace and Gabrielle is set beside Xena as she is bathing in the pool. They also change Gabrielle’s name to “Eris” - which is the name of the Amazon in the previous episode who wants to become Xena’s “sidekick”.

Smart.

Also they do a bit more with making Gabrielle’s jealousy clear at Antony seducing “Cleopatra” and not knowing how she feels about it in not being attracted to Antony.

This just shows you the lengths they went to with showcasing a romantic/sexual relationship between Xena and Gabrielle before the censors stepped in.

Personally, I don’t think any of this was needed. It’s showcased well enough as it is in my honest opinion.

It’s more for those who need it “spelled out” for them. They play it up. Sub-textually and also very blatantly.

In this episode, Xena is trying to rope Antony in so playing up the sexual tension with Gabrielle is fine.

What’s not fine is not considering her feelings on it.

Miss Grand Trinidad and Tobago 2023 National Costume

"Nylon Pool" Found in the waters joining the islands of Trinidad and Tobago is this treasure. Just off the island of Tobago, is The Nylon Pool: a natural, metre-deep, crystal clear swimming pool with a sandy bottom in the middle of the sea, created by an offshore sandbar and a still lagoon. It was likened to the transparency of nylon by Princess Margaret when she spent her honeymoon there in 1962, the year of Trinidad and Tobago's independence, and so, got its name. Thousands travel from near and far to take a rejuvenating swim, where the deep ocean is on one side and palm fringed beaches on the other. With the gown's transparency reflecting the clear waters of the pool and the glass bottom boats that take visitors there, the shells or treasures found in the ocean and the turqoise fabric, Rebekah Hislop portrays the wonder of the Nylon Pool. This treasure holds even more magic: it is said that when one bathes in this magical natural pool, one will be granted everlasting youth.

[jtavington]

In honor of finishing Glinda's first POV section I present its unedited version of Kiama Ko.

Elphaba stood on the balcony, watching the approaching mob with apparent disinterest. Her once silky hair fell in oily clumps. She wore the same cloak Glinda had stolen for her that day, but it was dirty and patched almost past the point of usability. Only the hat, the hideodious marvelous hat that seemed to symbolize everything Glinda had done wrong and right by Elphaba, remained the same. “Elphie.”

Elphaba rounded on her, her hands raised to blast the intruder to oblivion. It had only been a handful of weeks since the cornfield, but Elphaba looked as if she had aged twenty years. Her cheeks, always high and proud, were gaunt. The green of her skin had a sallow twinge Glinda had never seen before. Eyes that had been alive with passion whenever Elphaba spoke of Animals or history or her dream to meet the Wizard, were limpid lagoons of lifelessness.

Her eyes widened and she forced her hands to her sides with visible effort “Glinda? What are you doing here?” Her voice was scratchy from disuse.

“Saving you. There’s a mob on the way.” Glinda bounded closer, reaching frantically to pull her away from imminent death. “They’ll kill you.”

Elphaba cackled, or tried to. She sounded like a creaky pipe. “You don’t think they can stop me, do you?”

Elphaba and her pride. “I know there’s a lot more of them than there is you. That water rumor might be nonsense, but I know what fire does to you. I was standing right there the one time you tried baking!”

“It won’t be nonsense for long,” Elphaba muttered. “Anyway, you don’t think I’m helpless, do you?” She drew back her cloak to reveal a jar of poppy seeds. “All I have to do is spread these on the grass. In five minutes, they’ll fall asleep. Five minutes after that, they won’t wake up..

Glinda bounded forward and yanked the jar from Elphaba’s hands before she had a chance to react. “You’re out of control.” She had almost expected an Elphaba drowning in self-loathing, but never one who would raised her hand against another being for anything other than to save a life. She didn’t even eat meat because she was terrified it might be Meat. “Terrorizing a child for a pair of shoes. This isn’t you.”

For a moment, Elphaba ducked her head. But then her eyes hardened, the very image of the propaganda posters. “I can do anything I want. I’m the Wicked Witch of the West!”

“Yes, yes, you are the stuff of nightmares.” Glinda’s gaze darted to the broom in the corner. “Elphie, listen. Give me the broom. Everyone will think you’re dead. You can regroup.”

“So Morrible can kill me like she did Nessa? And to think I thought you were sorry.”

“Morrible didn’t send me. I’m done with her, with the Wizard, with all of it.” She wrung her hands. It felt strange to say that out loud after five years of slaving for them, but it was true. The sight of Nessa’s mangled corpse had broken something within her. Nessa might’ve been the real wicked witch of the family, but she was nothing if not a patriot. If she could be murdered to set a trap then nobody was safe. “The only thing I care about is you.”

“Oh, Glinda,” Elphaba whispered. Her eyes still glittered but there was a softness in them. Fresh pain coiled in Glinda’s chest. Even looking like she hadn’t bathed in days, she set Glinda aflame as much as that first moment  Glinda had plucked a flower from her own hair and realized Elphaba was beautiful. “Don’t you understand? There’s nothing left for me but the fight. All I can do is go down swinging.”

That couldn’t be all, could it? There had to be something Glinda could say to change the tragedy into a happy ending. She had been stupid, blind, and unbelievably selfish but to see the truth only for it to be too late…it was the cruelest fate she could imagine. And yet, the words that might have saved her choked in her throat.

A Monkey’s shriek forced them to look up. A black, winged figure grew and grew on the horizon until he landed before Elphaba. Glinda started. It was the first time she had seen Chistery in five years. He handed Elphaba a note. Her fingers trembled and time slowed as if all Oz defendant on what was written on that paper. Glinda held her breath.

Elphaba read once, twice, and tore the note into shreds as neatly and efficiently as if she were feeling an apple. “I sent him to look for Fiyero.” If corpses could speak their voices would rattle like that. “There’s not enough to bury.”

Glinda covered her mouth as tears poured down her face. A part of her heart had been torn away when the soldiers had strung Fiyero on that post and carried him away for torture. She had known, intellectually, how it must stand but the heart could fiesta hopeful thing. They had not been lovers but she had loved him. They had been allies in that court of vipers. She had been so angry when he had left but even then it had been the tantrum of a child having her favorite toy taken away and the agony of a woman getting final terrible confirmation that her love would never be returned. But she had never wished him real harm. Harm had come all the same.

“There…there’s nothing I can do, is there?” She hunched over the balcony and it was as if she was transforming into an old crone before Glinda’s eyes. “Everyone I ever loved dead because of me. The Wizard still in power. The only thing left is to”—she made a slashing movement with one hand—“go.”

Noononono. Glinda took it back. She preferred the Elphaba who would burn the world down. Not the wisp who welcomed death. Glinda had been without Elphaba for five years and it had hollowed her out like a tiktok without its gears, but if Elphaba died all the stars would go out. “Don’t talk like that. You still have me.” She seized Elphie’s cloak and spun her so they were staring at each other. “All the things you said about what we could do together? We can still do them. Depose the Wizard, even!” Her words came faster and faster and Glinda was only half-conscious of what she was saying. She would’ve made any promise if it kept Elphaba alive for one more moment. “I’ve been such a fool. I’ll do anything you want. Just promise you’ll stay.” The tears came again and she felt mascara on her cheeks. “You’re everything good.”

“You’re the good one.” Her mouth turned up at the corner. “Oz will need you. If there’s going to be any hope for the Animals, it’ll come from someone like you who can change minds.”

“Elphie, I’m just a bauble for the parties.” She could love people, but the way Elphaba cared about whole amorphous masses of creatures she’d never met was alien to her. Oppression, systems, they were just words for history exams. “I can’t change anything.”

“Why not? You changed me.” Her fingers ghosted over the line of Glinda’s cheek. Her fingerpads were calloused and cool Glinda leaned in anyway. “The first person who made me believe I could be loved.”

“And what about me? I was just a silly child who thought she was queen of the world. If I have a heart it’s because you gave it to me.”

They stood together. Time slipped away like the sand from the hourglass. Every moment bringing them closer to the end, though the end of what Glinda couldn’t say. If she had any last arguments, she had to speak them or let them vanish into the ether. And Glinda, still that selfish teenager deep down, could only think of one confession. “Elphie, I love you I’ve been in love with you for years.”

Their lips came together. It was not a kiss from fairytales or the novels Glinda had read after lights out. Elphie’s breath was awful and wetness intermingled on their skin. Neither of them had any idea what to do with their hands. But Elphie sighed and pressed Glinda’s mouth open with her lips and they were kissing. Really kissing, the way Glinda had wanted to be kissed but never dared hope for. Oh, she thought stupidly, so this is what happiness is. I had it all wrong.

Elphaba broke the kiss. “You little fool,” she whispered. “You never said. Why didn’t you say anything?” She touched their foreheads together, and her breath was warm against Glinda’s skin.. She didn’t look repulsed, just somehow even older as if she had bequeathed the last of her vitality to Glinda. “Remember me like this, please. Remember that I love you.”

“There’ll be no need to remember. You can tell me as much as you want.”

Elphaba opened her mouth to say something, but whatever she was going to say was cut off by the crash of the main doors. They were out of time. Before Glinda had time to process what was going on, Elphaba shoved something heavy in her hands and herded Glinda toward the wardrobe. “Take this and keep it safe. Use it to do what I couldn’t..”

Glinda stared at the inscribed cover of the Grimmerie. Sparks of static electricity danced on her fingers where she touched it. “You know I can’t read that.”

“You’ll have to learn. I’m sorry. You were never supposed to come back. But please promise me that whatever you see and hear that you won’t leave and you won’t try to clear my name.”

Are you insane? was what Glinda wanted to say but she never got the chance before Elphaba stuff turn the wardrobe like last year’s fashion and slammed the door closed. Glinda showed through mothballed coats and dresses She banged on the inside of the door. “Elphie, this isn’t funny! We have to get out of here!”

La Sirena de Boca del Río ~ en el estado Mexicano de Veracruz ~ escultor Ricardo Ponzanelli

La leyenda de la sirena en Veracruz y Guerrero, México (English translation):

"In the Veracruz imagination, the woman who became a mermaid has a first and last name. Her name, when she was human, was Irene Saavedra González and she lived, during the first years of the 20th century, in a small Huastecan town called Rancho Nuevo, near the lagoon. of Tamiahua in the north of Veracruz.

Irene was a beautiful young woman with dark skin, black hair and olive eyes. Her father, Abundio, had died. Her mother, Damacia, since she became a widow, had dedicated herself fervently to serving the Church, following to the letter all the uses and customs of the Catholic faith, which included hearing mass and not working in the fields. Holy days.

Legend has it that one Holy Thursday, Irene decided to go get firewood and, not happy with that, when she returned she told her mother that she wanted to take a bath because she was dirty and full of dust. Her mother warned her that it was not correct to bathe during Holy Week, but the young woman replied that at least she would go and wash her face.

It is said that Damacia heard her daughter's cries for help. When she came to help her, she saw the young woman transform into a being that was half woman and half fish. Her screams turned into a chant. Then, a huge wave covered her and dragged her down the river, towards the Tamiahua lagoon.

It is said that the residents of Rancho Nuevo wanted to help her and followed her in her boat to the lagoon. There a ghost ship appeared and Irene, now turned into a mermaid, jumped up and started shouting “peten ak, peten ak”, which in Tének or Huastec language means “turn, turn”. The animals in the lagoon revolved around her and formed a whirlpool into which she submerged. From her cry, “peten ak,” the name Petenera was derived."

I’m a little bias as a marine biology kid, but I think she looks great! At first I wasn’t sure about the bathing/body suit but it suits her perfectly! The head sculpt and fins are everything! I also wasn’t sure about all the green but for some reason the picture with the white background really helped me see the concept - it’s a gore-geous color! Once again, a little bias because my favorite colors are those soft blues and greens 😅 the box looks pretty great too! The only thing I kind of find weird is the harpoon heel - like there isn’t really a shoe?? Why does she have a black harpoon sticking out of her heel??

Creature from the Black Lagoon Rating: 9.7/10

Huge storytime of my schooltrip

Soooo dear @yourinnerhealthplus here we go, this is a lot-

Khm, it was 2023, my short hair era (the pics I posted prior from the schoo trip) and so, Val (short for Valeria) and I were friends, not too close friends but we shared some good moments, and since the last moment my bestie said she wants to change me as her roommate to another one of her friends, and I was like- okay sure you go ahead

So she changed the rooms with her friend that left me and Val in one room (so, Val was left with me because my bestie changed herself with Val and so Val was now with me, does that make sense? I hope so), this is how we got to be roommates for the schooltrip. By the way this schooltrip was 2 days long, thats why we had rooms and all that shit

All was good, the bus arrived a bit late and everyone got onboard, however everyone was seated with their roommate, so I got seated next to Val, which was absolutely amazing by the way, we had a lot of fun

This picture was taken on said bus :3

We started our trip to Cancun if I remember correctly- anyways, we talked a lot and my gorgeous idea was, what if I download a dating app and we catfish some people (well- not catfish because i actually put my own pics but yaaa)

While we also shared my earphones and listened to our music, which was also quite pleasant

So we had a lot of fun with texting weirdos and rizzing up women

Then I told her I brought makeup so she was like "can I do your makeup?" to which I said yes, so she made my makeup for the rest of the day which turned out pretty okay, it was a very sensual interaction tho, I remember it very vividly how she put my lipstick on-

And after some other really great talking the bus arrived to our first destination which was a zoo that was really boring and shitty, but we had fun, we ran around and made horrible jokes, as one would do

Then we went and got some really shitty coffee and some really good ice cream, we took our time to eat it and we made some selfies one of the other pics from the post prior to this one

We were already acting gay fr

So, for your informtion, I was already very openly gay (bisexual) and she knew it, plus we talked about it before that she is questioning her sexuality atp, this will be important later!

Next was taking pictures somewhere else that I have 0 photos of because the teachers were taking pics, but yaaaa

Then, another hour long bus ride to a cenote (they are like sacred lagoons pretty much), so we all changed into our bikinis yay and went in to swim, look around bla bla bla, it wasn't anything special but I have pics!

Me and that filter back in 2023 were married fr (it's so shit someone kill me)

Anyways, after swimming around we went to a restaurant where I didn't eat anything because the food was literally super shit, but more selfies occurred :3 (only one of them are bearable so yaaaa)

My boobs were behaving, t'was a good day

Then we finally got to our hotel and now this is where it'll get very interesting :3

We got our keys and went up to our room to unpack and relax for the rest of the day, as one would.

The hotel room was huge and it was really clean, pretty and fully charged with goods, we both unpacked and once we were done, I asked "Are you comfortable with me walking around naked? Because I'm used to it and I mean, you're also a woman so I wouldn't mind it, if you're not weirded out by it." which she responded with "I was also about to ask you that, so yeah no worries, it's totally normal."

Uhum, now I don't fully remember all of the stuff here perfectly, but I remember taking of my bikini (because it was still wet from swimming) and suggesting a bath, because the hotel room had a HUGE bath with massaging shit inside it, so I was like "hey, wanna take a bath with me?" and to be fair, we were comfy like that so that is what happened

I prepared a bath for us and we laid in the bath next to eachother for at least an hour because 1 we were talking about really weird stuff that I'm gonna explain down below 2 that massage the water did was amazing

So once we got in the bath, all hell turned real XD

I mean, we were already talking about unhinged stuff before, but idk what got into us in that bath, we were doing "kill, marry, fuck" and other really insane stuff like talking about our exes and we also tried to guess how each of our classmates would fuck XD (dont even start- I know)

But yeah, it was a nice bath and a nice time, we laughed a lot and relaxed very nicely

It was still very early in the day so I went down to the hotel's pool and sunbathed some, like 30 mins or so, then I went up back into our room and we made plans to go walk around the hotel (since it was huge) and to grab some food

Nothing too wild happened on the walk that I should specify so we're gonna time skip to the night

T'was around 9pm after dinner and some school activity, and we were in our room talking and on our phones, again, I don't quite remember what happened or how I brought this up, but I remember our conversation took a turn to how she never kissed before, like- no one or anyone

So my gay ass was like, well do you want to learn how to kiss, or wanna know how it feels? And well, she was like sure, so we both put on some flavored lipstick and I teached her how to kiss

Y'know, stuff like what you do while kissing, how to french and how to not french, with some other tricks of bits and bobs here and there

And that was the moment she was like "okay yeah, I think I might be gay" because remember- she was questioning but she wasn't sure, well, she was sure now

Nothing was awkward we went back to normal and we talked and had fun like before, but then someone knocked on our door, and to my surprise it was one of my male friends who was khm very much weird and I'm pretty sure he had a crush on me (actually now that I look back on it, I remember him telling me he actually has had a crush on me), anyways he came to our room to tell us that him and his friends are playing truth or dare and if we wanted to join

Of fucking course I said yes immediately XD

So me and Val got ready, took some pics and sneaked out of our hotel room to my classmate's room

These are the pics from after getting ready :3 (and a candid picture of me twerking-)

Once we arrived to Lorenzo's room all of his other friends were there and so we started playing

It was one of those really typically middle school truth or dare where no one dares and the questions are mild, so I got bored really quick and I wanted to spice things up (me and my good ideas right?)

Anyways, I did ended up giving a lap dance to someone and I also did 3 minutes in heaven (where nothing happened even though he tried to XD) but nothing else really, it wasnt nothing too big

I already knew that without me it would have been boring and so with that said i took that as a cue to say goodbye with Val

We went back to our room and stayed up till 4 in the morning talking and showing stuff on our phones, y'know having fun, we were still friends, I never had feelings for her and she didn't had any for me so it was really just that

Next day came around, we went down to grab breakfast, go to Chitzen Itza and then go home

Only pic from Chitzen Itza because it was way too hot and I was way too busy listening to music than taking pics XD

The way home went just as well, however it was literally my last day at that school, because I was changing schools for a few reasons (nothing bad)

And this is the story of how I made Val gay XD

She's one of the 3 women I transformed gay :3

If you read all this, props to you <333

I have a few questions for the gang!(Lidija, Anemone, Myr and Tristam)

1. What's their favourire place to eat out, do they have a specific cuisine they burn for whennthey eat out or do they very loyaly hold to italian food?

2. Hot and-or cold? What's their favourite cold and or hot baverage?

3. How screwed would they be if they had suddenly bodyswapped with their crush/love interest and had to pretend to be them for a day? if they dont have one- how screwed would they be if they suddenly bodyswapped with TSUNA?

Thank you for passing by again Lou!! I'm planning to attack your ask box soon in return stay tuned 👀 assuming my burnout doesn't take me first

1. Unfortunately, Myr and Lidija never experienced eating at a nice local restaurant outside the Cavalieri grounds, so their experience is very limited. The most daring thing would be the annual Cavalieri Christmas party, but even there it's just their typical Italian cuisine with a couple more dishes than normal.

Anemone, being a member of the administration council called Cornice, did have a few occasions where she could leave the Cavalieri grounds for parties with other mafia families. However, being a vegetarian in high-class Italy is harder than finding a needle in a haystack, so whenever she can she resorts to Indian food! From my research I saw it's one of the most veg-friendly cuisines so I can imagine Anemone enjoying Indian dishes like vangi bath, lentil curry, tofu tikka masala and so on.

If I had to assign a favourite cuisine to Myr and Lidija... Myr likes spicy food but in general she likes dishes with many different tastes, so I think Thai food would suit her greatly. Lidija is a little more sensitive to spice but would still like the variety of tastes, so Vietnamese? Japanese too for the milder flavours and pretty visuals. Honestly I'm not too versed on food so hopefully I got things right-

Oh shit I almost forgot Tristam- I don't see him being *too* adventurous with food. Perhaps he's the only one of the main 4 who would stick to Italian cuisine if given the choice. Given his fine tastes though, I think he'd enjoy Japanese food too.

2. Favorite beverages~

[Myr] - plain hot milk (occasionally choccy milk)

[Lidija] - Blue Lagoon, peach juice, pink grapefruit juice, cappuccino

[Anemone] - Franciacorta, vin brulé

[Tristam] - Espresso Martini mocktail, lemonade when absolutely NO ONE is looking

3. Myr and Anemone will both scratch and bite begging to be let out. Especially Anemone since ...yeah. And Myr trapped in a small frail boy's limbs... nightmare fuel. Lidija would swap with Teodoro atm though which would make her feel very handsome hehe, she'd be very good at imitating him since she spies on him at any given occasion 👀

Feedist Kinktober, Day 6 - Ocean's Delight

Content: stuffing, mermaid, threat

Bathed in sunlight, nestled between land unsuitable for legs, a secluded lagoon sits peacefully. Calm waves lap at the shore, and the cries of various birds chorus through the air, circling and judging their chances. A cluster of small birds crowd around an empty crab shell, picking at the remains. No schools of fish swam around the corals, but a constant stream of sea life did make its path into the lagoon.

Tucked between coral beds, a particularly dense weave of seaweed gave away the presence of some handiwork. She lays at the end of the woven trail, cushioned by the bed of seaweed constructed for her comfort.

A medium-sized fish swims towards her. Through its eyes she looks gargantuan, rolls of blubber spreading over her tail, fatty flesh holding slightly from being completely dragged down by her weight. The fish approaches, dragging along with him a shell filled with squirming, sweet, smaller fishes. It wouldn't take her long to devour these. It would have to swim away as fast as it could -there was no such thing as satiation, no chance of her laying eyes on food without wanting it in her mouth. 

Closer and closer it swam, through the gap in the coral that had been more than large enough for her to swim in and out of when she'd first settled in this lagoon, that now wouldn't even fit her shoulders if she tried. The fish looked on warily as its queen gulped down a fish twice its own size - her neck expanding briefly, before the creature dropped into the vast space of her belly.

Closer, the sound of her belly groaning, the sight of her cheeks flushed red, the feeling of the water warming from her body heat.

Closer, a view of her pointed teeth, opening wide to make way for the next meal. 

In her range now, just close enough to start tipping the contents of the shell into her maw, close enough to feel the pull of her gulps, too close-

Close enough to be pushed away by her belch, fast enough to start swimming instantly, strong enough to resist her last attempt to grasp it

Only for another day to feed her

Heyyy so the poll decided they wanted a story time of my h20 Dr. I will be doing story times about the other realities regardless though!

So let’s jump in. So the method I did that night I kinda just created it as I watched h20. The method; I just decided to use ocean wave sounds, and visualized a few scenarios of me in the water. (while using 5 senses to attach myself more to my dr). I visualized myself swimming as a mermaid, swimming with dolphins, swimming around fishes, close to beaches, under boats, and then when I felt ready to shift, I finally swam to mako island. I visualized myself in the moon pool, and then climbing out and falling asleep next to the moon pool for a nap. Now at this point with all the meditation, affirmations, and motivation I affirmed to myself that I am where I fell asleep in my dr. Lastly I just intended to wake up there and I did!

Okay so when I woke up there I was ofc happy, a little scared bc that cave is dusty asl and there were in fact spiderwebs. It was also dark but I scripted there were torches. Not to mention the only way out at the time was through the moon pool. So I sat there for a little bit just getting used to myself there and where I was. I did script other ppl from other shows in bc why not yk?

Anyways I was drawing in the tiny patch of sand with my finger until I felt ready to leave. And when I did finally feel ready, I lowered my feet into the moon pool. (I was wearing a two piece bathing suit). I scripted that my bathing suit became part of my mermaid form, and also that the transformation was different from what happens in the show.

So my transformation was freaky. Freaky but cool. And also fast. I scripted that my legs just stick together and the scale-y fleshy mermaid tail form around them/into them. It was really fast and my tail at the time was black with white and grayish shading. So anyway, after my tail formed imma be extremely real. I just stared at it. 😭😂 I moved it around, touched it, even splashed around a little. Now I’m not the best swimmer. So I was hesitant to fully get in the water. Even though I scripted I can breathe in it. (Not getting into explaining that bc I’m too tired to.)

When I finally got in the water I swam in circles first before I left the moon pool. (I am terrified of the ocean so I did script that it was a huge lagoon. Only dolphins, manta Rays, and other tiny fish in a very clear blue lagoon). When I exited the pool, let me just say nothing compares to the feeling of swimming as a mermaid. It felt freeing in a way, I almost didn’t wanna get out of the water lol.

So anyway after getting out of the water finally, I walked around along the beach just to see things and explore a little before eventually finding the juice cafe where Emma and Rikki were working. I went in and sat down at a booth and ordered a drink from Rikki this is how that went. (I also scripted we went to college together so it wouldn’t be awkward, and I wouldn’t have to start fresh with friendships.)

Me: *sitting looking at the menu*

Rikki: *walks up and stops directly infront of me*

Me: *looks up at her with a smile.*

Rikki: do you know what you want yet ?

Me: yes actually *orders a drink I forgot the name of*

Rikki: alright be right back.

After she walked away to make the drink I saw all the ppl I scripted walk in, and I legit covered my face. Okay so I scripted the teenwolf cast in bc hey free will🤷‍♀️. And I also scripted that Derek was my ex HAHAHAHAH. 🥲 so moving along.

Rikki: *comes back with my drink and notices I’m hiding from the people that just walked in*

Me: don’t ask.

Rikki: I’m gonna ask���.why are you hiding ?

Me: okay look at the guy in the leather jacket..he’s my ex.

Rikki: ah the mean looking one?

Me: yep.

Rikki: yeah you can use the back door if you want. Also remember the get together is at Emma’s house, see you then!

She walked off to go take more orders and I took her advice and left with my drink. Now the rest of my day up until the party just consisted of me shopping bc the clothes in the early 2000s just eatttt especially with the summery/beachy vibes. I also do have a house there but I didn’t really spend much time there. So the party had started and I had arrived like 20 minutes late. There were people there and ofc the ppl I scripted in were there too bc I live for the plot. So I walked in grabbed a lemonade with a straw and sat in the backyard.

As time went on during the party I spoke to different people, got to know others, and gossiped with Cleo, Emma and Rikki. And as we were speaking my ex in said Dr tapped my shoulder and asked if we could speak. (For context the reason he’s an ex isn’t bad I just scripted it was a misunderstanding.)

Me: ehhh I suppose?

We walked to a part of the yard that didn’t have a lot of people and he basically just apologized and explained the situation that I scripted 😏 and yk the drill I had to pretend like I didn’t know and this that and the 3rd. And we agreed to give things another go. Emma’s party was a success and we had a lot of fun, not while cleaning it up though. I told Emma next time she needs to hire a cleaner bc the amount of cups??

But anyways the day ended with us crashing in Emma’s room. The days after were kinda just us going to classes and hanging out. We did however practice using our powers and testing our mermaid abilities in the water. It’s definitely a nice place to shift when you want summer vibes.

Okie dokie that’s my short story time, happy shifting !! I’m gonna hit the hay 🛌

[hauntmemaybe]

Ok so question: do the hunters still bathe in lakes or whatever nowadays??

Because in Greek gods there was a story that mentioned Artemis and her hunters bathing in a lake/lagoon or whatever, so do they still do this??? Because pollution wouldn’t make that healthy anymore.

So, do they bathe in those public showers? Do their magical tents have a built in shower? DO THEY EVEN SHOWER IN THE FIRST PLACE? Also here’s the quote I mentioned earlier (thank goodness I have this book in English)

It’s page 345-346 on Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods btw

Anyways bye
