Last line challenge!!

Thanks for tagging me @dickarchivist!

Rules: In a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or however many you like).

This line is from chapter 5 of "Double, Double Boil and Trouble" (which has completely taken on a life of its own at this point, but I wrote the smut chapter during the thotting hours last night and 🔥).

Tas nodded, processing what you’d told her. “What about Hart? What’s his deal?”

WOULDN'T WE ALL LIKE TO KNOW, TAS?!

This is Tas Zolli, BTW. I love her. I think I'll keep her. Maybe even write a little smut for her, as a treat.

Created with this picrew.

[divine-knight-hand]

this might be a crazy ask, sorry, but what would your thoughts on writing knight smut be? because i've been thinking that knights are a very underrated category of men (cue the "vampire, werewolf, billionaire, surgeon, pirate" j*rdan p*terson quote) (speaking of. pirate? how many pirate books are there to be up there on the same list as werewolf and billionaire?) but i would never in a billion years trust a booktok "author" to handle knights properly. anyway. what was i saying.

any knight plans? we have the same medieval times keychain btw

Anonnnn, your asks are making me all gigglyyy!

I've toyed with some knight-themed thots before, but I don't really think I gave it much of a second thought. Unless you count my Lady Loki x Einerjar!Reader work, Live to Serve. Then, in that case, I might have. And, I'm actually planning on writing a distant sequel to that one, so if you are interested, that's in the works~

And, I agree! Knights are an underrated category of men! *Cue my childhood crush on Link slowly returning* (I swear, I was just on the Link x reader tag on AO3 this morning out of sheer curiosity! And here we are...)

Also, knights are totally an underrated category of women, too. We love our female knights here. (I'm just a lil fruity)

Aaaaah! And it's so cool that we have the same keychain! I saw it as my family was leaving the castle and I was like "I have to have it". Hehehe! Thanks for reaching out, Anon!

[bicodeofhonour]

in all fairness towards horikoshi i suspect a lot of bakugou’s writing is due to his editors breathing down his neck about This Extremely Marketable Character especially since bakugou was never intended to be as... “important”... as he is now (and now that horikoshi has finally hit the point where he’s sort of clearly writing what he wants to write his narratives are FAR from flawless and i have thoughts/feelings/opinions but i think it’s funny bakugou hasn’t shown up in ages except for like. a single issue overture towards his faux importance before everyone forgot about him again)

me dropping bnha what feels like forever ago so idk at all but that... sounds about right, like near exactly what i expected but even then idk, like is it strange how i feel like im already being fair to horikoshi even with how over n done w i feel w the series... 

started going on n on so heres a cut for ease of scrolling: 

honestly ive been thinking that editorial is a lot to blame for bnha not workin for me in the long term since i first saw horikoshi’s character drafts for izuku, bakugo and ochako like wayyyy back before deku vs bakugo part 2 happened 

like i still think those beta character designs were much more capable to carry the main themes that we thought bnha would get into by chapter 100 the way the versions we got were meant to

but thats kinda my problem too like im already over bnha ngl cuz i got sooo tired of reading the manga for the story it had the “potential” to be instead of the story it was... 

like bakugo not being relevant to the later plots at all is so... hilarious to me cuz he’s barely relevant to the early ones either except an obstacle that couldve been anyone n much better written for it, so if anything its just like lmfao so that really WAS a waste of time exactly as i was thinking this whole time  

cuz honestly even if bakugo’s terrible writing had a lot more to do w horikoshi being forced to give a very popular character more screentime... he really could have just ... wrote him a lil better. 

like i got thru soooo much of bnha expectin horikoshi to turn it around n then deku vs bakgo pt2 happened n i realsied he was just lettin a poorly written character THAT WAS NOT EVEN THE PROTAGONIST [cuz i can get into how izuku’s writing flops in fact most of the characters r all cool concept n terrible execution but bkgo is literally like??? what even is the concept] take up soooo much space that could have gone to any of these other popular characters or even if he managed to use bakugo as a jumping off point for another more interesting side character to get shine. 

hm i guess the tldr here cuz ive just been rambling my houghts together all jumbled up is that even w editorial breathing down his neck maybe he couldve just... idk... been a better writer? is that just me. so im agreeing w what ur pretty much its just that it bugs me more if thats really all there is to it. also ur right. its very hilarious actually.

LOVE the concept of people just emerging from his cloak as he does the teleporting spell makes me think of like. opening a coat and releasing hundreds of bees.

This is a thanksgiving post so I’m going to tag as many ppl as my brain allows, if I missed u I’m sorry 😭 there might not be anymore room left in my brain but there’s still lots of room left in my heart 🫶 and if I haven’t left a comment in a while it’s prob in my drafts so someday u will get hit with a wall of text accompanied by several out of date memes from outta nowhere lol

👾👾👾

So Canada had our thanksgiving a while ago, but I feel like a lot of y’all are American so I just want to say ❤️ty everyone for tolerating my unhinged comments and even reblogging them at the risk of offending/alienating your followers❤️

Here are a few things I’m thankful for 🙏

1.) Ty for not blocking me when my comments are like:

2.) Ty for liking my bizarre comments that derail the current train of thought like:

3.) Ty for your positive response to my comments even when they offer little to no insight eg:

4.) Ty for understanding that when I leave comments like:

I’m just trying to express sincere appreciation for your fic in the only way I know how

🥲

5.) Ty for not sending me cease and desist letters when I make bad puns like:

6.) Ty for being patient through my rambling comment intros addressed to no one in particular like:

7.) Ty for accepting my unconventional endorsements like:

8.) Ty for not deleting my comments when I’m being annoying like:

9.) Ty for putting up with tags like:

10.) Ty for answering my silly questions like:

✨And TY for all the fics u guys write, the gifs/img edits u make, when u post little jokes, or thots, or stuff about your day, or opinions on life, or pics of your pets ✨

As u can prob tell I’m not the best at leaving like, genuine heartfelt praise-type comments…. so I do my best to leave genuine heartfelt memes and gifs 💖 but I want y’all to know that your work means a lot to me beyond the haha moments even if I don’t talk about that stuff 😳

I’m like the Rick Grimes character in Love Actually who can only communicate his affection through cue cards (except replace cue cards with my parody-style comments):

Btw this makes u guys Kiera Knightly 🤩

A lot of the time I might say stuff that inadvertently comes off as rude or sarcastic but what I actually mean is that I admire u and TO ME Y’ALL ARE PERFECT 💗

...I was writing this post but then Tumblr didn't save the draft and I lost everything!!! </3

I'm going to answer this rapid-fire because I feel bad about losing everything :(

Get to know me

Tagged by @trans-lykanthropie!!! <3

Tagging: @spaceyfreyja @muscatjello @puppygirlbone2 @cassia-thots @with-a-side-of-wilfey @incendiarylust @cant-ra @aki-blackwood @mommys-sapphic-lullaby AND SO MANY I'M FORGETTING!!! You don't have to do this btw, only do it if you want to!!!

Last song: I prefer albums and soundtracks over songs, but I was listening to one of my favourites earlier today - Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds which I have on CD!

(Originally here I went on a tangent about my Panasonic SA-PM71SD combination cassette deck and 5-CD changer but that'll probably be in its own post now!)

Currently reading: I like collecting books on aviation, railways, and military history, but unfortunately I'm much better at the collecting than the reading </3

However, I have been enjoying some good yuri recently!!! If you're trans then I cannot recommend Hanayome wa Motodanshi (The Bride Was a Boy) highly enough!!! Was reading through it earlier today and god damn, the feels...

(It's a certified egg-cracker but it also includes lots of helpful information about being trans and it was a very helpful resource for me when I was first questioning!!!)

Currently watching: I'm bad at watching things too, but I suppose I'm watching Season 6 of Taskmaster and enjoying that <3

Current obsession: ...I don't really feel like I have one right now - I'll typically go from obsession to obsession, in particular certain periods and events in history, but with how busy life has been I haven't really had anything to obsess over as of late.

Although I might count these cat ears as an obsession soon because I LOVE THEM SO GODDAMN MUCH

These are the ones I got and I'm wearing them as I type this - the amount of gender euphoria they grant is unbelievable O_O Just listening to the bells as I tilt my head to shake them is making me smile and feel so so so so sooooo happy!!!

[thoodleoo]

hello sarah! i just finished the aeneid and am absolutely in love with it (despite the many heartbreaks i experienced);; im strolling through ur vergil tag to relive the experience, and i saw you mentioning one interpretation of book vi being a metaphorical death for aeneas

(tw: mentioning of suic1de)

THAT TICKLED MY BRAIN SO WELL!,!,!. i wrote in my journal that i think aeneas has probably considered suic1de, bcos him in the second half feels so different from him in passionate pain in the first part, and imo he expressed greater love in the first part;; and that interpretation of metaphorical death made me think: perhaps book vi was an attempt by aeneas to embrace death, but he experienced some sort of epiphany/trance instead? and he came out of the attempt, after being close to death, having an entirely different outlook on his purpose on earth? IDK my head feels full and i dont have any friends to talk about this (it’s a lonely place here sigh) so i just thought maybe i can send it here;; have a good day btw love ur blog im new to the whole classics world! ur posts’ve made this reading experience less lonely

literally im sitting over here reading this ask like

like we KNOW aeneas for a fact has considered dying instead of fulfilling his duty (remember his lines in book 1 when we see him on the ship) and considering roman thoughts about suicide i think it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to have thought about taking his own life...combine that with my "is it really aeneas who came out of the underworld" thots and the theory that aeneas's katabasis represents a metaphorical death and i think youre onto something anon!!!

Sweet Dreams- Boxer!Paz x Baker!Freader

Inspired by the events of Foul (following straight after) and the Boxer Din AU created and written by the wonderful, amazing, brilliantly talented @djarinsbeskar! WC: 1,641 Tags: 18+, mentions of smut, its a smutty AU ya'll know the drill, sickeningly sweet fluff I have been driven to write this to deal with all my Paz thots- it will become very clear that I make up for the fact that I can't write hot smut by writing the softest shit. Excuse the lack of editing, also, its quite the mess x

After Din had stormed off with his “not-girlfriend” at Avika, Paz was more than ready to go home right then and there, thoroughly unwanting to deal with the feral frenzy that Din had stirred up in and out the ring. But there was no doubt that there would be more calls for blood. And even if that weren’t the case- even if Din wasn’t on the lists tonight- Paz had to stay.

It was his job after all. And one he enjoyed more often than not.

But when he thought about you, Paz’s priorities became trivial- like dust in the wind.

He hadn’t been dating you for long but he already knew that he was in deep. To Paz, you were the one that hung the stars in the sky; you, a hardworking baker with a smile that made his heart ache and hips that made his cock twitch. It was love, the realest he’d ever found, and every day he swore his gratitude to whatever force had sent him to you.

It was almost a taunt to watch Din leave Avika with his “not-girlfriend” tucked into his side- he’d been disqualified from any more fights that night but he couldn’t look any less content about it- when Paz had to stay behind with nothing but the thoughts of you waiting for him back at his place to keep him company.

To pass a bit of time between the words that were being exchanged between Boba and Din’s opponent’s trainer, Paz checked his phone- his mood instantly brightened when he saw a notification from you.

From: Sugar Cookie💖

Hey babe, I just got home. Did you feed Kitty yet? He’s begging me for food rn but I know he’s probs got a full belly and is just being a little gobble guts lol. sent 4:13am

I gave him a tinyyy bit of kibble to hold him over in case you didn’t. Kitty knows I can’t resist him. Sorry for messaging you at work btw. I know you’re busy xx Love you xx sent 4:19am

Paz checked the current time. 5:30am. Shit. He must’ve missed the buzz of the notification amidst the chaos. Usually, your shifts at the bakery ended closer to midnight but he knew you to be a hard worker, proud of the bakery you ran by yourself, and always likely to get caught up in a task until it was done to a high standard. It was just another thing for Paz to love about you.

His thumbs hovered over the reply box; you had probably already gone to bed, exhausted from your own long day of work. He couldn’t bring himself to disturb you but he pushed past that doubt a second later, typing out a response, softened when he reread your messages about his kitten.

“Vizsla!” Boba’s voice pulled him back into reality. “Are you listening at all? This does concern you.”

Paz managed an easy half-lie, fingers tapping away as he switched contacts and began typing another message, “I’m sending Din a text- trying to figure out what started all this.”

…

When Paz finally did get home it was pushing 8am. Expecting to find you curled up in his bed, comfortably asleep, he was shocked to see you as soon as he opened the door to his apartment. You were propped up against a wall of cushions on his couch with a book resting in your lap and his kitten snoozing on your chest. Head thrown back and peacefully still, he could tell you were fast asleep.

Just the sight of you, the shape of your body outlined by the drape of the blanket that was thrown over you, your features illuminated by the warm light of the lamp, the splay of your hair over the pillows- just looking at you relieved him of so much of the stress he had carried home. His eyes traced over your form, picking out the dip and curve of your hips, and he was struck again with the amount of love he had for you. He still couldn’t believe how quickly he had developed such deep feelings for you but that fact made them no less sincere. The softness and simple intimacy (whether that be primarily sexual or emotional) that your company alone promised never ceased to amaze him.

Trying to be as quiet as he could manage, Paz shut the door behind him, put his backpack down by the door, and crossed the room to kneel down at your side. He considered leaving you there for the rest of the night- if he did he could go take a nap and then come back and wake you up by eating you out before making you breakfast- but ultimately he wanted to, needed to sleep next to you… and he couldn’t manage that on the couch.

He got the best sleep when you stayed the night, your chest made a far better pillow and your arms though relatively small provided him with so much warmth that he would be more than content to sleep without any covers (which happened sometimes when you hoarded the blankets).

Paz let out a silent sigh and reached out to stroke the hair away from your face. You stirred in response and he leaned in to press a kiss to your nose, “Hey, baby, it’s just me.”

You let out a soft moan, eyes scrunching up before blinking open, looking up at him blearily, “Paz~”

His heart could have burst at the sound of your gentle voice laden with sleep. Carefully so as not to disturb your place, Paz eased the book from your fingers. The exhaustion was palpable on your face, the weight of many hours of work pulling at the edges of your eyes. “I thought you’d be in bed by now.”

You eased yourself up on the cushions, one hand bracing the kitten against your chest. “I wanted to stay up for you. I didn’t mean to doze off.” Fuck. Paz was slipping his arms under you faster than you could process and when he stood you were tucked against his chest, kitten, blanket and all. You didn’t even seem bothered by the shift, curling your fingers into the neckline of his shirt. The simple touch drove him wild- the burn of your warm skin against his throat like a blowtorch- and the fact that you seemed oblivious to that only made him ache for you more.

When he had gotten you halfway to the bedroom you spoke again in that voice that threatened sleep, “I would've been able to stay up for you if I didn’t have to spend three hours on a last minute order for a wedding cake.”

Paz opened the door with his hip. “You don’t have to say yes to every job you know.”

“I know- but the couple was so sweet, I couldn’t say no. Plus they paid me double and half on top because of the short notice.”

He laid you out on the bed and replaced the throw blanket with his thick quilt, kitten moving to curl up beside your head on the pillow. The comfortable setting was luring you quickly to sleep again but you were still determined to see him next to you before you shut your eyes again fully. When he didn’t immediately join you, you frowned.

Paz eased the crease in your brow with a kiss there, “Don’t pout, sweetheart. I just gotta take a shower.” He could have skipped one for now, knowing you wouldn’t protest his sweaty skin, but he wanted to be rid of the flecks of blood that had stuck to him, everything that had stuck to him from that ring, before he touched you. You started to protest but Paz silenced you with a searing kiss to your lips, “I won’t be long, I promise.”

If he had thought you would be back asleep by the time he finished he was fooling himself. You scooched backwards on the mattress and petted the space you made in front, “come here.”

Paz went willingly, instantly. He eased back the covers and shuffled in next to you, clad only in a pair of boxers, hands instantly finding your skin to greedily palm the warmth that radiated from you. You cozied up to him just as naturally, arms wrapping around his neck so that he could tuck his face against the crook of your neck. With the covers pulled over the both of you, Paz felt surrounded by your presence and it calmed any remaining stress he had.

Although he had reprimanded Din for taking a violent approach to defending a woman’s honor, Paz couldn’t deny the fact that he’d be just as likely to take a similar action if anyone spoke about you like that- just thinking about those vile, entitled words directed at you made his jaw clench subconsciously. And yet just as soon as that anger stirred up in him, it dissipated again, soothed by the thump of your heart against his chest and the delicate fan of air you puffed over his damp skin.

He was reminded of the first time he told you he loved you; not long ago, in the middle of a good hard fuck when he had you by the hip, lost in the emotion of your eyes to the point where his confession had come out as a babble that became a mantra that he punctuated with each thrust of his hips. You had been on the verge of tears then, overstimulated and shaking, when you returned the words to him from your own lips: I love you too.

“I love you.” Paz whispered.

You snuggled against him tighter, a sleepy sigh escaping you when his hands ran up and down your sides. “I love you too.”

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU

I can’t believe I actually finished The Match LMAO btw this will probably be long so please bear with me and read this especially if you have been keeping tabs on this series 😌

I know some of y’all are wondering why it seems such a big deal for me to finish The Match when I managed to complete a series already aka Devil’s Mark. It’s because The Match is more than just a fic for me, it turned out to be my main tumblr thang???

It was supposed to be a smutty two-shot but I was surprised at how it blew up. I think I barely had 500 followers when I started writing it, didn’t have actual tumblr friends to talk to and share my thots with. And then people started noticing my blog because of it and then I met so many amazing people!!! I gained real friendships!!! I never had internet friends before, even when I was active in my previous fandom!!! And most of the friends I made have become real life friends like I actually know their real names, their faces (sometimes their tits too 😂) and it’s just amazing lmao

Writing has always been an outlet for me. It’s a hidden skill that only a few people know of. Being able to share it to everyone is such an honor. I used to write stories in secret back when I was just eight years old. And then I started writing fanfics in high school (not smut LMAO) for my friends. I’ve had writing accounts on livejournal, winglin, fanfiction.net and asianfanfics LMAO but it was here on Tumblr that I actually felt like my writing somehow affected other people? Especially with The Match that I almost ditched LMAO

Everyone keeps on thanking me for putting my work out there, it’s my readers that I gotta thank. Y’all motivate me so much to keep writing, even on days I don’t have energy to do so.

Thank you for sticking with The Match until the end! I might have gotten off track LMAO but this series means a lot to me. Even with my ongoing stuff like Project V, Flutter, etc…I don’t think I can come up with something as big as The Match 😂

While I’m grateful for everyone of you, I want to give some people a special shoutout for the undying support they have shown this series and my blog in general!

@soldatspet @bitchassbucky @sarge-barnes-sir @buckybarneschokeme @lokithealligator @spicynudlesoup @lookiamtrying @annathesillyfriend @lalahbug @maladaptivexxdaydreaming @ambrosiase @stucky-my-ship @bluehourbucky @thefallenbibliophilequote and @the-invisible-queer who made the very awesome playlist!

Please don’t be mad if I didn’t tag you akdjskdjd it’s way past my bedtime lmfao so I’m sleepy but know that I appreciate and am grateful for each and everyone who even just skimmed through The Match!

Hope to see y’all in my other fics!!!!!

[starbuck]

just so y’all know, I’m Very Much Enjoying seeing everyone’s wildly differing opinions in their tags on my Irving gifset.

I was intentionally (mostly) neutral in my tags when I posted it so as not to sway things too much and the results have not disappointed thus far.

[silverbastardgoldenfool]

Okay so, since you may be able to tell my RotE fever has returned I thought it might be time for a little Realm of the Quarantine update/thot dump. May be a little scattered and it gets personal but here we go!

1. Yes, it has been a fucking full year between finishing Mad Ship and finally cracking open Ship of Destiny, but yes, we are still going! Again, I have been following my sister's pace with this read, and she is chronically ill and a parent of a wild 4 year old (who I essentially co-parent just btw) so her capacity to read at all can fluctuate wildly. She was maybe a quarter through Ship of Destiny when she fell into a severe slump and so I just never started it after finishing Mad Ship. She picked up the book every so often but I wasn't confident she would keep it up and I preferred to be stuck between books than between chapters. Anyway, she finally hit her stride in December and finished Liveship, and now she is almost finished Fool's Errand!! She was literally sobbing today and I was like oh shit it's happened... Nope it's only the bit where Fitz and Dutiful go through the skill pillar leaving the Fool and Nighteyes behind 🙃 honey, you got a big storm comin (I'm sorry)

2. Realm of the Quarantine? Still? Yeah, for the sake of tagging it doesn't make sense to change the name, but also my brother just got covid 🙃 first one in our family (he's okay!!) so the legacy lives on I guess. Anyway I think the name will always fit because it's a good way of tying it to the when and why of its beginnings. Literally insane that this will be the third year of this reread lol huh??

3. On that note, I cannot WAIT for the day I get to inhale this series again at my own (supremely unhealthy) pace. I was so looking forward to picking up on all the nitty gritty details and through lines because this is my first time reading chronologically and yeah I still can to an extent but it's now once again been years since I read the first books so ya know, the cohesion just isn't there.

4. On THAT note, I have definitely been pretty rusty getting back into the series. I'm engaged and enjoying it while I'm reading but you should see the amount of tabs compared to the others lol, and the amount of notes. I think it's just taking a while for my feelings about the story to kick back in all the way, but that is definitely happening more and more as I go on (almost halfway through now)! There are also just a lot of dropped threads, things I was keeping track of in my notes before which I don't have a clear enough memory of to keep following now, so it's honestly just kind of hard to know what kinds of things I should be noting? But again that's getting better. I might actually read my notes from the previous books tomorrow cos that would help, I'm sure. All this is linked with the fact that my sister, neice and I have just moved into our own place together, out from an extremely unhealthy situation. The move was really sudden, and although an incredible opportunity it was also inhumanly stressful and exhausting. I became severely dissociated and I'm still finding my way back to myself. But honestly getting back to RotE has been a big help with that!! It's just that yeah, there are so many disconnects whether it's my memory, the flow of the story being interrupted by a long break or my ability to feel much. It's all getting better. But I just wanted to put that out there in case my Ship of Destiny write up ends up being a bit of a skinny legend :( I know it doesn't actually matter I just am kinda sad about it because this trilogy is so dense and I was connecting so many dots and now it's like someone came and cut all the strings on my serial killer corkboard and I'm starting from scratch. But oh well!!

5. There is no greater motivator for reading than to know your sister is experiencing some absolute fucking PEAK Fitz and the Fool content without you

6. Speaking of which, you may notice a contradiction between my stated disconnect from Liveship and claiming my RotE madness is back. Well, this is actually not an entirely new phenomenon. Last time I was reading Liveship I wasn't disconnected from it, but it did still ignite my Fitz/Fool rabies. I'd be reading Liveship all day, perhaps without so much as a mention of Amber popping up, yet spend all night dreaming about Fitz and the Fool? Honestly just takes the most flimsy of threads for those two to hijack my brain. But I'm not complaining about it.

7. Sadly have not been struck with inspiration for memes yet, but hopefully Sa will bless me soon.

8. Long story short, I'm back and becoming more and more obsessed every day which strangely is a sign I'm doing much better lol. It sounds strange but if my sister keeps this going and I can make it through Tawny Man without any major interruptions I think it'll genuinely be really good for my mental health. The ability to get excited about something, be unapologetically passionate, think critically, experience a masterpiece which might inspire me to do some writing of my own and just generally spend time on something I love are all things that have been missing from my life. Returning to RotE is far from the most important change in my life right now but it is intrinsically tied to those changes. A friend to accompany me on this new road. Sorry to be cheesy I just honestly have worked so relentlessly and hopelessly hard to get here all while never really believing I would arrive. I still don't really believe it but I want to. The fact I even have the mental clarity or will to put this post together is remarkable on its own. So I'm taking stock. I've missed talking shit with you guys, I hope we all have a beautiful year 💫

WIP Ask Game

No one actually tagged me in this, but I'm gonna steal it anyway. I have discovered that the secret to unlocking my inspiration and focus is telling people that I’m considering doing something. If they encourage me even slightly, it fuels me. I’m also not tagging anyone, but if you want to do this, I think you should!

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips! I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DnD campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!

I have quite the list, so I'm gonna stuff it behind a cut

I have a folder in my Notes dedicated to the random bullshit I think of. The problem with this list is that I have one big note where I throw in mini ideas, and they only get their own note when they get fleshed out.

All of these are for Mihri btw. And the ones with chilies next to them are NSFW :)
