So there were some things I had to cut out of my book on aro & ace -ness for various reasons. Mostly, I had to trim it so it'd fit into a lower price range, but sometimes... I had to sigh heavily and admit that something was just too self-indulgent and it had to go.
These included:
A study of some historical figures whom I think might have been ace or aro (not to 'claim' anyone as aspec - we have no idea how people from the past might identify today - but I think it's important for us to remember that historical figures should not be considered straight by default, and that their lives shouldn't be painted as tragic if they didn't have a partner.)
In particular I got very annoyed with adaptations of certain historical figures' lives that write in romances that never existed, as if their lives are uninteresting unless you shove romantic love in there
A couple of thousand words yelling about how groundbreaking Critical Role's ace and aro characters are (this one PAINED me to remove)
A rambling diversion into animals that breed cooperatively and how they disprove the dumbass narrative that 'the sex drive trumps everything so being ace is obviously ~unnatural~'
A bunch of other stuff where I had to look myself in the eye and say 'Sky. I know this is fun. But is this relevant. Is this necessary.' Alas it was not.
Anyway it makes me very sad that I couldn't include this stuff, and the upshot is: I'm starting a free Medium blog (EDIT: formerly on substack but moved for Reasons) so I have a place where I can yell about everything I couldn't fit in the book. I'll probably use it to yell about general aspec & pop culture things in general!
I'd love to to have you if you're interested in my aspec gushings <3
(Book available for pre-order here & here)
#very weird sharing my name and face in this way but. i've sort of had to accept that becoming an author#does mean becoming a public figure even in some small way#thank god i'm writing about something relatively niche aksjdhs#asexual#aromantic#aspec#love expanded book#(sorry about all the book stuff lately I just do not have the brain space to produce fandom content right now!)

and if i made a comic about them making a blog for the weird demon dog they found in the woods just because they are being brainwashed by it and it told them they need to spread the word of what word they donât even fucking know?
#i really wonât do it since 1 i donât know how to make comics and 2 i donât have time to do it and iâm busy#but i could try it maybe idk just because iâm bored and would be my first comic i guess#i donât wanna do my finals#kino art#like it totally was smile who find them and that dog probably has another name in my au with them totally isnât smile her name#and the first one of course to seem very convincingly manipulated was nina since it was her idea taking the dog. but also#jeff since he like it at the end even if it was a weird ass looking dog#so nina got brainwashed donât know how because the freaking dog is weird and she said heyâŚ#and if we made a blog for her? and jeff so weirded out and be like⌠why? and sheâs like well i donât know would be funny scare people#so still unconvinced smile had to dig into jeffâs brain also manipulate him and be like yeah alright maybe we should#so they went kill some college student stole their car and stuffs. they arenât the most intelligent killers#oh but nina knows how to drive. jeff no wonât even try because he knows he would drive them both to their deaths. he so would#so yeah nina does know (kinda) how to drive so itâs all cool. jeff gets to use the stolen computer and donât care if he deletes everything#and same for the phone but since he never got an iphone or any advanced phone nina teaches him how to use the new stolen phone#so uhhhh yeah got a bit far from that. they hacked the computer (they didnât it was their luck it didnât have a password)#so their dumbasses were like wait⌠what we were gonna do and then was like oh yeah! the blog!#they went back to the freaking dog took a very ugly picture in some abandoned house they will stay there for a while#since they were homeless for now. anyways took the picture of the demon dog and used it for#their blog and yeah did it scare some people thinking wow thatâs a good photoshop but no one knew was a real haunted picture#and jeff be like hey⌠letâs send the photo to scare the friends of the person we killed and both they be like hehe alright thatâs funny#at the end well they did enjoy making the stupid blog and scaring people with the picture they thought it wasnât real and just a bad prank#from the⌠real demon dog they literally own (in reverse the roles here to be honest but they are stupid they donât know)#while not knowing what even is that picture causing around the internet aaand⌠probably just probably they cursed to death some people#but for now they are too happy they have a job at least. with smile just watching them#lol this is too stupid WHATEVR#i would be a happy child in me while writing all of this shit in class idgaf#creepypasta#jeff the killer#nina the killer#smile dog

As a show of good faith toward the remaining Decepticons at the beginning of a new, united Cybertron, newly appointed Senators Bumblebee and Soundwave allowed Shatter and Dropkick to enlist into Autobot City's Defense Team.
These two turned out to be... not the best choices.
The city may have fallen to Insurgent Decepticon occupation had it not been for young recruits Hot Rod and Arcee's accidental interception of Shatter's communication with the fugitive Starscream.
To replace the errant Defense Team members, Springer and Blurr were reassigned from Iacon to Autobot City in their stead.
#my art#tf reconstruction#transformers#bumblebee movie#tf shatter#tf dropkick#maccadam#transformers au#semi-introduction to my idea for antagonists in tf:r - specifically being movie villains slotted into my au#bc if the main crux of the main reconstruction story in autobot city is about hot rod and her rise to becoming rodimus prime#which comes from the First movie - why not loosely adapt other movies too??#ive got ideas for most of them already - kinda jumping back and forth between the modern day story and my pre-war ''downfall'' story#which gives my brain a break from thinking about one to think about another#anyway - i imagine the first ''episode'' of tf:r would be like. hot rod shows up in autobot city on her first day > meets the team#> gets assigned arcee as her partner > arcee hates it > they over hear shatter talking to someone they don't recognise because rod's nosey#> huh that's weird > they intercept it next time by accident > its a communication to starscream about the city's defenses#> they take it to ultra magnus but they break the pad on the way because they were arguing about it#> ''hot rod i know you're new here. and you're intrigued about the war and everything. but we shouldn't be suspicious of everyone wearing a#purple badge. give them a chance.'' > arcee drops it bc she doesn't wanna start trouble + ''magnus will handle it. he always does somehow.'#> rod does not drop it and makes blaster monitor shatter's messages for anything unusual > blaster indulges her bc he's endeared to her#> he does end up intercepting an encrypted message > rod immediately acts and chases after shatter and dropkick on an outside-city mission#> arcee goes after her to stop her from fucking up really bad > blaster unencrypts the message. it's a rendezvous point to start an invasio#> magnus kup blaster and perceptor all head out to help the two young'uns before they get in over their heads#> rod and arcee meet and fight starscream and barely make it out by the skin of the teeth thanks to the more experienced autobots arrival#> starscream shatter dropkick and whoever else is there are driven off#> day is saved - magnus commends rod's gut instincts but rod goes back to what magnus said about not trusting bots with purple badges#> she was right this time but its an exception not a rule and most other decepticons in the city want to live in peace#> magnus also commends that attitude and the team head back > starscream starts plotting his Next Big Plan#''post credits'' scene of magnus putting the request in for springer and blurr + robot dinosaur opening its eye in the darkđđ#longwinded but ya thats like the Clearest idea for Specific Events so far other things are Stuff I Want To Happen

sukuna and gojo use binding vows for sex, taking things like orgasm denials or touch deprivation steps further, where the other is contractually bound to not be able to do certain things, like touch themselves or touch the other etc etcÂ
one such instance being a vow where gojo has a vibrator up his ass, but he can't touch himself or remove it, until sukuna specifically, pulls it out. Â
he keeps the vibe in throughout the day, with sukuna controlling it remotely, even as they both go throughout their separate days. Â
gojo goes to have his usual breakfast, and meets yuuji at the dining room, they greet and sit next to each other. yuuji is, as always, energetic and excited to see himÂ
they make conversation, until gojo gives a jolt and starts twitching and huffing. sukuna has turned the vibrator up all the way. yuuji worries and panics and asks him what's wrong. gojo gives a breathy laugh and reassures him. he motions low and tells yuuji about the vibrator inside him, through sudden jolts and soft whimpers. Â
satoru complains about it, and yuuji advices to remove it or go and take care of himself. Â
except gojo states that he canât and yuuji puzzles. Â
"it's... a pactâmmh!"Â
"a pact???" yuuji's voice rises in volume, but he visibly calms, shoulders dropping into a fond sigh. "sensei, you really are..." that's all he can manage to say. reprimand is useless. gojo likes it, yuuji is well aware, he is enjoying every second of this, even as he complains. Â
gojo gives a few odd jolts, undoubtedly an odd pattern of intensity from the vibe, yuuji can guess. sudden irregular ups and downs that are not taken well by the man. Â
satoru clicks his tongue. "what is that guy doing?" he actually looks irritated for a momentâa look yuuji doesnât get to see oftenâuntil itâs broken with a sigh and his pleased, calm demeanor returns, mimicking the soft waves of pleasure across his thighs.Â
still, yuuji can see his hands crumpled at his sides, undoubtedly wishing to use them. Â
that's when satoru perks flares up all of a sudden. Â
"actually, yuuji,â he turns to look at him, grinning. âyou can help me" he opens his legs and lifts the edges of his kimono, his dick peeking out the fabric. yuuji gulps at the sight. satoru motions to it, giving yuuji a wordless look. yuuji hesitates for a moment, but complies, taking his hand to the cock, and starts stroking.Â
satoru crumbles under the touch, immediately breathing out his nose and muffling moans. he leans into yuuji, wrapping an arm around his shoulders, fingers clasped in yuuji's kimono, nuzzling into his hair and whining in his ear. Â
satoru's sounds fluctuate in pitch and volume, making it known when his vibe's gotten stronger. yuuji keeps his pace and satoru spills in his hand. he twitches and sighs, soft breaths against yuuji's flushed ear.Â
yuuji stares at the cum in his hand. Â
"you can wipe it on me,â satoru tells him with a breath that's calmed much too fast. âmy clothes are already soiled anyways". and yuuji feels bad for it, but he obeys nonetheless. Â
satoru takes a hand to yuuji's chin and turns his face to him and gives him a kiss. short and sweet. Â
"as a reward." he smiles at yuuji. the boy surprises but takes it happily, cheeks warm and eyes softened, albeit a bit timidly. a tinge of disappointment colors the edges of his face.Â
"you want more?" satoru brings his face to yuuji's again. the vibrations have reached a slight plateau, so his voice is steadier. Â
yuujiâs face widens a bit, but he nervously chuckles, pulling back from gojo's face. "no, it's alright," he lies. "i don't want sukuna to kill me"Â
but satoruâs already pulling into him, breathing into his lips. "i won't let him <3"
"that's...actually reassuring......" yuujiâs eyes flutter shut as satoru's lips meet his again. Â
and with that, they're kissing and slowly the vibrations and gojoâs twitching start again. satoru moves atop yuuji's lap to straddle him, and while they kiss, yuuji takes his hand between them and jerks him off again. satoru moans and gasps into his mouth, each jolt mirroring the pulses against his prostate. Â
they separate for gojo to bury his face in yuuji's shoulders, arms hugging his neck. he humps into yuuji's hand until he comes against him again.Â
he pants and huffs atop the boy, catching his breath. yuuji's gentle arms hold him, fingers rubbing slow circles at his back. Â
satoru's breathing calms against yuujiâs neck.Â
"yuuji, u're such a good boy."Â Â
yuuji's heart and dick swell.Â
#f.txt#scenario that has been plaguing my brain and i needed to share#just when they're done nobara and megumi come into the dining room#nobara twists her face. 'geh. itadori. taking advantage of a married man'#yuuji squints his eyes at her 'like u're one to talk'#nobara: still. at the breakfast table. could u be any more shameless#she says that but still makes her away to sit across them megumi following suit#megumi: go easy on him. itâs probably gojo-senseiâs doing anyways#gojo: oh megumi~ u know me so well#jjk#sukugo#yuugo#ć äş#sukugoyuu#ns4w#the moment of random ups and downs is sukuna drawing out âsatoruâ in the vibrrator app bc he wants his gojo :c#meanwhile gojo's all irritated like 'what is wrong with him đ' bby boy ur husband MISSES U#for context this is in my post-canon everyone lives au (well. one of them) where everything is good and happy and sukugo get married and#sukuna gets domesticated (?)#well more like. he's still bad and evil. but he's tamed i guess#he (begrudgingly) coexists with everyone else and behaves lmao#also everyone kinda lives together? it's a bit of a weird situation idk#anyways#this kinda made me want to write again. i havent written in so long#tho i suppose this does count as writing#i also have more stuff to add to this ill do some rbs !!

Screw it, I posted the fic, she's my other main oc in the SWTOR-fic-verse in my head and drafts, SO part two of me clawing my way out of my anxiety bubble: character profiles part two! In which i still suck at summarizing events without sounding pretentious or overdoing it on the lore dumping. I have like. two good screenshots of Chrysali on my tablet and no access to the ones on my old laptop hard drive still (đđđ), but thanks to @jeswii coming in the clutch with a screenshot so I don't claw my hair out (THANK YOU AGAIN) I have finished one out of three parts of that art thing I've been going insane rambling about lately and it's my favorite part of it so have this bit of a thing that I will finish eventually!𼴠I'm probably going to come back to this and swap the art out for the full finished piece once it's done-done, but! in the meantime!:
Chrysali Vidoi: the Cipher
Homeworld: Druckenwell
Born: 3662BBY (age 22 at start, currently 40)
Species: Genetically- and cybernetically-enhanced Human
Occupation: co-operations manager and head of Alliance Intelligence; formerly agent of the Imperial Intelligence division
Affiliations: Eternal Alliance; formerly Imperial Intelligence
Romances: Theron Shan
Chrysali Vidoi is a woman of many namesâCipher Nine, Nashtah Twelve, Legate, and countless more she cannot even remember, but none of them matter more to her than the one she was born with and constantly denied. A survivor of the Battle of Druckenwell as a child, Chrysali found herself rounded up in the aftermath by agents of the Imperial Science Division and taken as test subjects for the Arkanian cyber-geneticist Atro Arkova's Project: Nashtah. Arkova wanted to create a perfect living weapon, and through a combination of cybernetic modification and genetic enhancement, he made the children under his thumb moreâfaster, stronger, more agile, more capable in a fight, immune to the effects of external stimulants like alcohol and drugs, and with a lowered sensitivity to internal hormones like adrenaline that could impair their reactions. Better than droids because they could think for themselves, Arlova molded them into becoming a potential replacement for even the vaunted Cipher program one day. They were deadly killing machines with only one flaw: they were not invincible. By the time Chrysali (now designated Nashtah Twelve) came of age, only a handful of her fellow Nashtahs had survived their grueling training, and the project was closed down as a failure with the survivors shuffled into Imperial Intelligence instead. Chrysali took to the work like she was made for it (and she had been) but all the while hated everything about itâthe Empire, the work, herself, everything. A rollercoaster three years followed that ended with Imperial Intelligence disbanded, Ardun Kothe's offer to make her a double-agent for the SIS, and Chrysali aimless as she struggled to be more than just the weapon she was made to become. The Revanite crisis served to be the lifeline out of her confusion, and Chrysali latched onto the allies she found amongst it, in particular finding something of a kindred spirit in Theron Shan. The years under Zakuul, then fighting Zakuul, brought them together, and now they are an unbreakable partnership in every sense of the word, facing down whatever comes next the way they do bestâtogether.
#swtor#K8 Rambles about SWTOR#K8'S Writing#K8'S Art#SWTOR OC: Chrysali Vidoi#star wars the old republic#star wars#the old republic#swtor imperial agent#star wars oc#swtor oc#sorry tag rambles ahead#trying to summarize a complicated backstory and then the complicated game story AND her adventures in the 5-year gap is hard#and i have chronic âcannot shut up when i get startedâ ism#BEHOLD: THE OTHER BRAIN WEASEL ATTENTION STEALER IN MY MIND! she's just way more lowkey about it than Aja đ¤Ł#if it wasn't obvious uh. might've been struck with the inspiration for a fair bit of chrys' backstory right after black widow came out đ¤Ł#(she's much closer to comics laura kinney/wolverine in terms of attitude/powerset though)#the pc survives some *really* insane things#& there was already so much game lore about the empire dabbling in experimental cybernetics/genetic modification so i let my brain run wild#what i got is essentially like this weird mashup of the power guards whatever it was they did to shara and a steve rogers-esque supersoldie#and it's SO MUCH FUN to write even if it's a headache trying to keep track of what does and doesn't affect chrysali#(medical grade tranquilizers? probably. alcohol? metabolism burns it off too fast. stuff like that)#and her not being my canon outlander left me open to so many fun plot bunnies to explore with her and theron in the 5-year gap#whiiiiich became a monster 7-in-universe-years SLOWEST of burns & if i ever get the spoons together to post all that SORRY BUT NOT SORRY đ#they are kind of a mess but they are my mess and i love them very much â¤#OKAY I POST NOW OTHERWISE IT'S GONNA LINGER IN MY DRAFTS WHILE I NITPICK IT

I came here today (after months of absence) to tell that my mind has been brainstorming something my bff told me a few days ago and it's STILL bugs me...
Apparently, there's a thing called "Midday horror" (i'm not sure how exactly it's called in English) and it's referring to a sudden feel of dread at noon. The articles always give as example the perfect summer day, clear sky, hot weather, but suddenly there's no any sounds: no birds chirping or cicadas, grass and trees are motionless cause there's no wind at all and the sky seems to be not blue but grey.
All of that seems to throw a huge way of dread on people, and my bff has experienced this a whole bunch of times. And i have NEVER felt anything even close to that....
She showed me some picks that trigger her in the same way and i'm just.... Well it's just a field, pretty photo? No???
You know, this type of photos... Do this picks make you uncomfortable?
The almighty Internet says it's mostly Slavic countries fenomen. We have a lot of mythological creatures that are rooted in Noon time and field work and usually kill people or drive people crazy exactly at Midday, like Poludnitsa (Lady Midday), but I truly think it goes to any country in which many people used to plow the fields in the past (I know that Greek people had pretty same mythological plot with Pan)
I'm sure there's enough of logical explanations of this fenomen, but it STILL bugs me... I kinda want to experience this lmao

you ever feel so in love with your own OC-
(probably wont be able to finish this today... but maybe this weeks # Wolfgang Wednesday đ¤Ťwatch this space etc )
#just opened the file to look at it before i head out tonigt hfhdfks#im in a weird headspace wrt art again so heres a tag rant#whenever i make something that feels really self indulgent ie its not like a bigger project that moves the plot or something#i start to feel guilty like i should be doing more or pushing myself and my art more#and part of me is like. its literally fine the art is there to make me feel happy that i can make it why does everything need to be So Much#but i still feel like some alarm bells like uh oh spent too much time lately focusing on wolfien thats Not Allowed when you should be#spending time developing other characters and the story and shit#does this even make sense like ? help#i feel i hit a good stride in january with story art and some story developments#but now i feel my recent art doesnt reflect that and that disconnect is frustrating to me#like i wish i could beam this stuff into peoples brains because sometimes having so little time for art is so suffocating#and ive covered just like a Fraction of what i want to with my art in terms of the story and character dynamics etc#ultimately i think all of this malaise is just coming out of seasonal depression brain and clearly not. rational#but its malaise nonetheless

I kind of want to play Animal Crossing New Horizons again, but it's kind of boring now that I've done everything so part of me wants to delete my island and start again.
But man, that feels bad too!
#animal crossing#look i know they're just little pixel guys but also i love them and i don't like the thought of erasing them#genuinely i think i have to trick my brain into thinking that they're continuing to live their lives in their universe-#-and i'm just starting a new one#getting attached to fictional characters is bad actually. it does weird stuff to your brain!!

Bullying Smarty doodles <3
Really wanted to draw smarty being treated like shit by Lilith but it's also like,,,really late so I just half assed both doodles to the extreme.
No one can piss Lily off more than Smarty can. SO like this is probably the closest I've ever drawn DOL Lily to how she looks in literally any other setting I have. I have two sort of story worlds I have in dol neither taking place in the uk area because no thanks <3.
But these two drawings are not 'dollieverse' Lilith her siblings are actually alive in this specific world and they are my beloved skunk rats. The first drawing actually is meant to have words and they're all just Lilith insulting the fuck out of Smarty saying she's a shitty demon for not even having at least tiny fangs and several much meaner things. Smarty would probably eat it up since she seems to have a thing for pissing people off.
Second one Smarty is in Lilith's litol store and fucks around and drops one of her animal gut jars on the floor. Second universe Lilith is for one not an art teacher but a freak ass shop owner and two way less patient and a lot meaner (she would still love angel though she gravitates to anyone she can smell emotional constipation on). So when smarty drops the jar she's like oh okay so bailey being an absolute bitch to you as a kid didn't teach you shit. Beats her up a little bit, a few rough hits in the face, then she tells her clean the floor up and held her hair down to lick it up. And I drew smarty's tail wrapped around her wrist cause I thought it looked cute.
Erm anyway um this second universe Lilith is really mean and has like pretty different lore from dollieworld Lily but not by too much I think. Or maybe she does I'm still going wild drawing ven-diagrams of the two versions.
@smartytarty apologies for the god awful quality it is two in the morning miaow.
Smarty's colors are very inconsistent because I used two different reference photos :(
#dol#dol pc#dollie-rambles#smarty my beloved#smarty my princess#second universe actually does have a name and it has a whole thing going in my head#i have like 6 or seven drafted posts and one of them is a really weird dream i had about everyone's pcs#i wanna draw so much stuff but i don't have the brain power to put my 40+ long idea list into art#not right now at least#mieow miew moew

âI canât be angry with youâŚâ Princess Alisa spoke before bending down to give a big kiss on Princess Anilaphat's clear cheeks. âHowever, you should never speak of renouncing your royal status again.â
â...â
âCan you promise me?â Princess Anilaphat only gave Mother a wry smile but didnât say anything in response. âHearing that, I almost suffocated to death.â
â...â
âYouâre my heart and your fatherâs heart, donât you know?â
âWhatever father and mother wish from me, no matter how hard it is, Iâm willing to do it.â Princess Anilaphat moved her body away from the embrace to make eye contact with her mother easily. âHaving to leave the country to study alone since I was a little kid and barely knew a thing, l did it. When I returned, mother didnât want me to practice the profession I studied; fearing that I would be in dire straits, I continued my studies to become a teacher like father and mother intended me to be.â
â...â
âWhy is the only thing I asked for⌠mother couldn't give me in return?"
ââŚâ
âSo, what is the point of having such a high rank if I cannot grab what I desire?â
âAnil��� what you desire is inappropriate for you.â
âHow inappropriate is that? Is it so easy to meet the person I love, Mother?â
-
i have been personally loving the work on adaptation the loyal pin has done on the show. the show is extremely loyal (lmao) to its source and all the changes provided do feel in line with the orignal work which is why i cant wait to see the last few episodes.
that being said there is a few changes that sometimes collapse in itself if you havent read the book (prince anan mentioning a past forbidden love or once again prince anan already knowing about anin and pins situation and when he has to confront anin about it in front of their mother and aunt patt) which all could be discussed about how you adapt a book. but i personally want to bring up something that is as trivial as one line in the book but to me !! it is a little nuance that feels too bad to be left out.
anin wanted to find a job in architecture upon returning to thailand but her parents (especially mother) didnât let her.
the show and books make a beautiful cases to demonstrate how misogyny, class and homophobia are all deeply connected as being the great obstacle for anin and pin, together and both separately, each navigating a cage that is held above them even by their closest relatives.
and so comes the question of independence. financial independence. financial independence is truly one of the biggest shackles to be taken down when mentioning Anything related to self determination. because seeing anin more than willing to drop what gives her the most security in life for pin who knows what that non security implies, means that you must have at least what you must to be self sufficient.
anin wishing for this before the whole mess of pinâs engagement both shows how she already wanted to be independent as early as possible and that her parents, despite specifically sending her abroad for âmore honorable studiesâ and such do see anin getting a job in architecture as a Lesser way to live. because she would not be a comfortable as her current situation and inflict again their wishes on her on which job she should aim for while still remaining tied to them.
this detail is trivial and just one more line in the whole theme of the book of how misogyny ties women down to their position theyre supposed to fulfil, and have other women keep you in check of that. but it also comes with the whole realisation for anin of how despite the looks and support and liberties her class allows her to get, her gender will ultimately always be what societal expectations throws her back into. and that wish of financial independence prior to pinâs engagement shows that she was well aware of that, or at the very least in part, and was once again trying to sneak out of this hold.
#the loyal pin#if you get what i mean !!!!!! just saying stuff i woke up at 4am for a train and all i have in my brain is aninpin.#<- tags written when i had my draft down#but i am now refreshed and i slept and now i g]can post it after review#but yeah honestly i think this is a part that even the book should have developped on#of What does dropping your title implies for you to survive without everything that you grew up with etc etc#like i kinda get it why it didnt but could have been a nice add on#but once again loving the show and the books and seeing how they compare#also sorry for the weird formatting i dont have my laptop with me lnao

I drew my lion boy after the act of monsterfucker sex. So open the cut at your own risk :p
I also changed his skin tone because I want to broaden my horizon and i have though about doing that for a while and. I think he looks pretty with it. So im keeping it now. Overall this has a few redesign elements in it.
#Xaly does art stuff#The immortal starsea is real#and im not doing any story shit lmao#I just saw the reference for that and my brain died and all it says was#its him#its the boy after sex#with all the weird marks#and i was weak to the brain worms
