So, I'm writing a canon Dance of the Dragons/ Daemon/Rhaenyra fanfiction and I reached the part where Daemon and Rhaenyra are going to get married. Any advice on how to write Daemon/Rhaenyra smut? You are just the queen of that.

Hi Hi Hi 🥰

Well this is great news for all asoiaf Daemyra fans, finally we get them and not Matt and Renada or some weird book/show hybrid. Kudos to you and hope to be able to read it 🩷

Regarding the advice I am wary of it just because reading or writing smut is something that is very much all about personal preferences. All of us have words that give us the ick and we can't stand but others are perfectly fine with them. I think my main advise is just to remember the setting in which you are writing the smut. I usually stick or try to only use words that George uses because I believe even smut has to be "immersive" and mindful (though not demure) of the universe and setting it is taking place. I have seen book reviewers on youtube complain about euphemisms or not using proper terms for body parts, and while I do get where they are coming from, in a medieval-type setting there might be certain words the characters are simply not familiar with so it would seem out of place. But at the end of the day this is may take on what I think works best and what I usually do. If you think a word is really hot, why not use it? Even if not completely appropriate? I have done that once or twice just because I wanted (and thought it was not too problematic, but again subjective).

Then another advice I would give, if I can do so, is to respect who your characters are and what their story is when you write them engaging in "carnal knowledge" of each other. So in Daemyra's case the questions I could ask to determine how said smut would be along the lines of:

Is the the first time they are doing it after many years? Or is it maybe after their "reunion"?

Is she already pregnant or not?

Is this before or after they are married -> this would matter to someone like Rhaenyra, not really during it but in the moments leading it and afterwards?

Do you believe in Mushroom and they did get to 3rd base but never all the way so this is actually the "first time" or do you side more with Eustace and you do think he was her first lover?

What did you see Rhaenyra and Harwin's (seggual) relationship like? What did you see Daemon and Laena like?

How honest do you believe Daemon's feelings to be? About Rhaenyra to anyone who read the books there's no question.

I am asking all of this because I am of the opinion that smut needs to say things about the characters (most times), their past and future and how they feel about each other.

But opinions are like 🍆 everyone has one (this is an odd saying and not completely true it's more like 50% but its smutty and therefore appropriate), this is mine you and others might be of a different opinion.

At the end of the day, just write what you want to write, what feels right to you. This is what fanfiction is all about, actually scratch that, this is what fiction writing should be all about. Your first reader will be yourself, so make them happy 😁

And I hope this was helpful in any even if small way.

XOXO, Popcorn

How did that Toon and Cog became a Couple?

Are they keeping their relationship 🤔 a secret or is it out of the bag?

(P.S do you play Toontown Rewritten or Toontown Corporate Clash?)

If you are referring to Popcorn and Hudson that is something you'll find out in my story lol Which is on my deviant art account. (P.S I play ODS and also TTCC)

More Momokarun sleepover... Mayhaps..??

Your wish is my command, dear writer!! 💖 thank you so so much for the ask! ^u^

Tried actually coloring one of the sketches this time u_u it's hard for me but I did my best!

What do y'all think they're watching? Horror movies? X-Files?? Boys Over Flowers???

[arttsuka]

Can u draw Jedidiah and Octavius having a movie night using Larry's phone please 🙏??

I love your art sm!

Aww, thank you ���

What movie are they watching? (Pretend there is something on that phone screen pls)

[themeraldee]

Do you think homelander would be like those boyfriends in those videos online when the boyfriends will shake their heads at their partner when watching something like a rom com, reality TV show, or shows like ya know vampire diaries, gossip girl, ect and makes fun of it then leaves the room "judging" them, only to come back and stand glued to the TV bc they actually got invested in the drama and sit down next to them to watch it together . I feel like homie would make fun of shows like that and then secretly sneak back in, tryna see what happens next then when his partner turns around and catches him watching they just pat the seat next to them being like "Come on, ill restart the entire show for you since you like it sm" and he'd be grumbling but end up sitting down and watching it? Sorry if this is worded oddly and if you dont know what videos I'm talking about

HAH! I haven't actually seen the videos you mean but I know the trope. You know what I totally see him watching trash TV (alongside 'girly' TV shows). Like he'd lowkey get into the storylines and like you say begrudgingly be sitting down and watching from the start bcs dammit at least this is more entertaining than Deep's interview that was running live on a different channel.

Just give the man a hobby, I beg. Also it'd be nice for him to get a routine with his partner going. Like okay we gotta make sure we watch our daily episode. Can't go to bed without our ritual.

At the end of the day, the content doesn't matter. He's doing happy normal people things and spending time with his SO. What's not to like!

Get cuddled up and cosy in some jammies and a soft blanket and you're golden!

Alliance Normandy SR-2 redesign: Deck 5

We've finally arrived at the bottom: deck 5, home of the hangar, the Kodiak shuttles, and now, Marine Land!

There are some oddities with this deck, because I was guessing at how fast the hull tapers towards the bottom at the back (I'm working off references that show front and rear elevations, but that only shows you the broadest points). I messed up something with my core chamber measurements and had to make the entire rear end (heh) slightly bigger here before posting, but the deck design errs on the side of narrower.

Hangar

When I wrote A Star To Steer Her By I ignored the silly shipbuilding because I was focused on a relationship (and because it wasn't supposed to be a door-stopper novel. Oops), but as I went on things like "this hangar should be regularly exposed to vacuum, how can you leave gym equipment in here" bothered me more and more. By the time of Sunset and Evening Star I couldn't let that state of affairs stand. So: this hangar is regularly exposed to vacuum. No fancy force fields that keep in the air but let out shuttles. You don't leave anything in here that isn't protected from vacuum and strapped down.

The hangar is the limiting factor in the size of the entire ship; it has to fit between the central elevator and the hangar door, and it must fit two Kodiaks. To reach this size I had to make the Kodiaks boxier; my drawings are taller for their length than the game models. They still seat twelve, and there's room for one to do a 180 on it's axis while the other is in its cradle. The hangar floor slopes down slightly towards the door in the middle, and the Kodiaks are 'shelved' to the sides.

Cortez runs the flight deck from the exact same place he is in game, but now he has bulkheads and windows between himself and the cold death of space. Airlocks on either side give access to the flight deck. There are also giant doors straight into the deck 4 cargo bays, but those won't open unless the hangar is pressurized.

Marine Land

Jack's Sulking Pit is now a gym, with weights, treadmill, stationary bike, heavy bags, and mats for sparing (and occasionally making pillow forts for evacuee toddlers). Mats are usually stored stowed against the wall, and other equipment can be moved as needed.

To port are the marine berths. The usual compliment of marines is a dozen, including their unit leader, but there are twelve bunks as well as the officer's tiny cabin (because there's no point wasting the space, and you never know). Other than their semi-privacy, the marine racks are no different from the enlisted racks on the two decks above.*

*"Except for the smell." — the rest of the crew, probably.

Berthing the marines on deck 5 is all about quick access to their arms, armor, and transport. Directly across from the marine berths is the entrance to the locker room and armory. After armoring up they grab their weapons and can get to the shuttle through an airlock entrance in the armory. On the way back, they reverse the process; stow weapons, strip off armor — often dropping damaged plating into the recycler chute as they go by — strip down, and shower.

The Alliance military is gender neutral, and nowhere is this as obvious as the marine lockers. The marine unit regularly strips down in front of each other; it's just part of getting ready for work. You can't be body-shy and be an Alliance Marine.

(I like to think the separate bathrooms on the crew deck were the Illusive Man's weird traditionalist decision. Sometimes the gendered-bathroom thing starts to grate on Bo Huan, the third-watch pilot, so they come down to deck five to use the locker room showers, leading Joker to quip "Ah, the third gender: marine!")

More engineering, and the answers to a few questions

Ladders from deck 4 lead down to another engineering area on the hangar level. It's not connected to the main areas of the deck by conventional corridors, but it is accessible through the warren of service passages that run throughout the ship. More of those access-ways lead aft of the eezo core chamber to the fusion plant (not shown). Because the core chamber narrows faster than the ship, it's easier to get around it here than it is on the engineering deck, where the core chamber is at it's widest but the hull has started to narrow. These access tunnels are rarely comfortable to get through, though they often open out into areas that are easier to work in, or into surprising pockets of unused space. They may require crawling or climbing, or clambering over obstacles.

All the maintenance accesses are kept pressurized and aired up, but the habitable area shown on these posts is wrapped in an inner hull, and the doors for maintenance access are all pressure doors: if a hit damages the tunnel you use to access the ship's innards, it won't kill all the crew in the room next to it.**

**It will obliterate the illicit still and the not-actually-a-secret-make-out-nest, as well as anyone stupid enough to be distilling and***/or fucking in those locations, which is why we don't lollygag between the hulls in combat, private!

***AND?****

****Some people are remarkably talented.

Can you draw Steve cobs blowing up pretty please 🙏/nf

And the world rejoiced!

[dizzystradlin]

how would u rank the five (original) GN’R members and a reason why for their placement

thank you for this ask !!

1 . izzy stradlin (obviously) , i genuinely think he was the soul of the band . he was / is an amazing songwriter and guitarist . i feel like gn'r really took a hit when he left and took his creativity with him . it's like he speaks in riddles and it is so , so captivating to me . i could make this entire post about izzy but i'm trying to keep it short for the sake of everybody else . also he's so gorgeous i love everything about him

2 . axl rose , he is chaos incarnate . he is definitely my favorite voice in all of music , ever . anyone can say what they want about him but he is genuinely so captivating as a person and as much as his temper tantrums on stage were a little much , his theatrical nature made every performance look so high stakes

3. slash . i could literally ramble for a million years . he is probably the * iconic * image of guns n' roses , he is an AMAZING guitarist , and i love his silly talking voice . i also love him in kid notorious ( PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF YOU KNOW OF THIS SHOW . PLEASE . ) he's also so fucking gorgeous .

4. duff mckagan , i feel like duff hardly gets the credit that he deserves . making this list was so difficult because i want to put all of them first , obviously . like izzy was the soul of the band , duff was the glue . and i also love his singing in ' so fine ' !!!

5. steven adler , oh my GOD MY ANGEL . i don't like it when people infantilize him , but he was genuinely a ball of sunshine , seriously , he looked like a dandelion with his crazy hair . one of my favorite things ever is just seeing him bouncing around like ' popcorn ' (hehe) behind the drums in videos . i miss him so much in the band . iiii]; ('

Hi , i discovered your account a little while ago and i really enjoyed your nation revealed au posts and i wanted to know if you had more France nation revealed au headcanons because your posts about him are hilarious and he's my favourite character

OUAIS FRANCEEEEE! Oh my god there's so much. He would thrive in the spotlight. He's very charming and good looking, so he knows how to control public opinion. I'm not trying to say that every citizen loves him, but he's a very admired national treasure. The French gov takes advantage of this and tries to make him announce things so they'll be taken more lightly. He attends political press conferences and stuff, but he's usually there to look pretty and distract people from getting mad. It's become a bit of a meme like "when they bring out Mr. France, shit's going to hit the fan."

He's been in a few movies back in the day. But he was usually cast as an extra because the gov didn't want whatever erotic scene he was in to "taint the national reputation". He usually does voice cameos in movies now, and he DEFINITELY made a cameo in Ratatouille (he had one line). The only physical cameos he makes are in historical documentaries.

As the "nation of fashion", He's also starred in many beauty commercials, and has been on many magazine covers (duh). He attends fashion shows to support designers, and his tweets during fashion week are always a highlight. He starts a lot of trends too. Luxury brands see his influence and trample over each other for his endorsement.

His social media personality depends on the site. I made a more in depth post here, but I'll sum it up. His twitter is where he posts his "philosophical musings" with a side of memes. His Instagram is where he is in peak slut form, but he posts normal French stuff periodically to get his boss off his back. His Tiktok is a mix of Twitter and Insta, but more focused on making cooking videos and trends. He also loves posting about his cat, and makes matching outfits for him. he often features other nations in his posts, and films them doing mundane silly things.

Since France is the most visited country in the world, he has a lot of interactions with tourists. He does his whole "charming Frenchman" schtick and gives little tours around Paris. He also does tours at the Louvre, though he usually cares more about the paintings involving himself. Despite the fun, he always has to deal with people being disrespectful and entitled to him. It's even worse now in the age of the internet, where everyone's trying to have their fifteen minutes of fame. People record themselves trying to ask him on a date, flirt with him, kiss him, and other things when he's just trying to get his coffee. He politely turns them down, but he's punched many a tourist before.

France has also been in some scandals. He's had many sex scandals. Too many to count. So many that it's not even considered a scandal when he's caught sleeping with powerful people or being indecent in public. He's a very passionate person. He has been arrested many times, often while at protests. He can also get very confrontational with the paparazzi on a bad day. Those videos often go viral, and people talk about how "unhinged" he is (and say he's "iconic" or whatever). Obviously, his outbursts and police confrontations are a very bad look for the gov. But there's not much they can do to stop him without public backlash. So usually they make him apologize.

He's often invited to talk shows and interviews both in France and abroad. For the serious interviews, it's usually about political and historical stuff. For talk shows, it's a mix of "he's so hot" and trying to make a spectacle out of his eccentric moments. Hosts are usually respectful, but English-speaking ones will often poke fun at his English, and sometimes do stuff like "say squirrel" to laugh at his accent. They'll also joke about his "meltdowns" and stuff (half the time they're moments where he's in mental distress).

Eeeeeee cuties!! Espio you should try to find out what other nice things from this time Silver hasn't gotten to try yet! Isn't it great to see him light up like that? Also it might be good for his health it seems... I shudder to imagine him chowing down on styrofoam...

*They sit in cozy silence for a while, eating their snacks and watching the movie. They're both sitting on the bottom bunk of Silver's bunk bed in the workshop, sitting so close that Espio's shoulder is tucked comfortably against Silver's chest. Silver giggles at something funny, but Espio hadn't noticed what was on the screen. He's hyperaware of the fact that Silver is practically holding him. He isn't, not technically, but it feels like he is. He's so warm.. Espio leans a bit closer* ... Silver.

Hm? *Silver looks down at him. They're closer than it seemed. He pulls his head back a bit*

Uh.. as far as you not having popcorn before, and eating foam.. which you really shouldn't be doing.. what else have you not tried? I wish to bring you those experiences.

*Silver stares at him, his eyes sparkling in the dim lighting* ... Heh! Espio, you're so nice.. Let me think... In the future, we kinda just eat what we can get our hands on. We use the resources we have. Like our cakes! They're made mostly from chemicals! And I've eaten critters before, too.

What..?

Yeah, and drywall :)

Silver..

But the food here is so nice.. it's flavorful and feels good in my body when I eat it. I'm growing a garden right now, I can show you tomorrow! But for food I wanna try.... I'd like to try more fruits and veggies. Oh, and baked stuff! I've had a lot of bread, but I think there's a lot of pastries out there I haven't tried.

I'll get them for you.

Oh, and ice cream!

Do you just not eat the things your family eats? I know for a fact they eat that regularly.

They do..? I guess I'm not paying attention, haha!

... You poor thing. You're never eating drywall again. Not on my watch. *He scoots a little closer, his head just barely resting against Silver's shoulder. Silver's fur fluffs up a bit more*

..e..eheh... Th.. Thanks, Espio...

Hello!! I know that aside from Daemon/Rhaenyra, you are a fan of Baelon/Alyssa. I just wanted to ask, what is your opinion on Viserra, or on the whole Viserra seducing Baelon after Alyssa’s death? Do you think Baelon might have been able to save Viserra from her fate if he had agreed to marry her (even if he didn’t love her)? What is your opinion on this pair?

Hi there :)

Yes, after Daemyra Baelon and Alyssa are definitely my favourite Targaryen couple.

About the rest of your ask, I don't think Viserra fans will like my answer, but I don't quite care for Viserra. I have talked about it in the past that I see Saera and Viserra as very shallow characters with almost nothing to them. They were written as mean girls and that's about it, besides being Targaryens and physically very attractive, I don't actually see any redeeming qualities in them.

Saera at least you could argue was sort of funny, in a heartless, sociopathic Cersei kind of way, and I did admire how she later on in life wanted nothing to do with Westeros or the Iron Throne saying she had her own kingdom was a cool moment. But regardless she was cruel, unnecessarily so (e.g., Tom the Turnip anyone?), and worse with someone much weaker than her which also makes her a sort of coward. Like I said she had many sociopathic traits, and her behaviour itself is very congruent with a sociopathic personality type.

Viserra is a bit better in that regard in the sense that she was not needlessly cruel to anyone weaker than her for fun, even if she poked fun at young men who lusted after her, sometimes in quite dangerous ways (e.g., when she dares them to put their heads inside a dragon's mouth, I think the prize was her V card if memory serves right). But like Saera is mean and cold for the sake of being mean and cold, Viserra is ambitious and cold for the sake of being ambitious and cold.

We are both shown and told she wanted power and to be queen and F feelings and all that, but we are never really given a proper reason as to why. I would guess that being child #10 in a very large family would make you starved for attention, likely importance as well, since her only selling point in that family was being the most beautiful of the sisters. It was (VERY) unlikely she would ever be queen, so maybe because of that it became an ambition of hers? There was also something arrogant about her because of her looks, thinking that that would be enough to just give her what she wanted without having to rely on anything else. In that sense she has no depth, what you see is pretty much what you get and neither is very good or particularly compelling.

So, no, I wouldn't want her to marry Baelon, nor for Baelon to be interested in her. In fact, I loved that he wasn't and that after she spoke in such a nasty way about the sister she thought herself so physically superior too that Baelon gave Viserra a cold hard dose of reality of he's Baelon Targaryen, not a failed Baelon like Tywin Lannister.

Sure that some people find love again in life, and I am all for it. But some people aren't like that, and I found a lot of beauty in that aspect of Baelon's character, of how devoted he remained to the memory of his lady with the mismatched eyes. I would have hated for that to be ruined, especially in the name of such an ambitious and empty character like Viserra. If he was to marry her, whatever the reason, he would not be Baelon because that was a central aspect to his character.

All this aside I did feel bad about how Viserra was treated by Alysanne, almost like she was the final boss Alysanne had to defeat. I think this is a great example at times of George's incongruence with how he writers characters in F&B. Pretty much their end is decided so he just does whatever he has to to get there, at times with little regard with what he previously established. Are we supposed to believe that the same Alysanne who still loved and wanted to forgive Saera, even defended her, would be so cold and mean to Viserra? Sorry, I don't find it the least bit believable. Like show us on the doll where Viserra touched you Alysanne. Regardless of her not deserving this or her cruel fate, I still don't really care about Viserra nor think she had any redeeming qualities.

And that is my take.

Thank you for coming to my Tumblr Ted Talk!

Much love to you <3

what is popcorn's favorite color?

That's a hard question lol maybe her favorite color is pink lol

[nacreousor]

There are soooooo many instances in The Pitt where a character says an objectively completely normal/socially acceptable/logical next step in the conversation thing to say and then everyone looks at them like they're insane.

[tsuchinokoroyale]

Have you ever had sexual encounters in the sauna?

Mmmmmm not really. There was just this one time this guy was kind of fondling himself and making shifty eye contact with me so I opened up my towel for him and gave him a little show til he got hard but then he tried to move closer to me so I tsk-tsk’d and told him “just looking, no touching” and then got up and left when I saw people enter the locker room. He wasn’t quite my type but I applauded his bravery for the largely lost art of public cruising 🫡

Pal.

Pal.

You are at the hardware store, screaming at the cashier to give you soup for free.

You are not being civil or polite to the person you want something from.

You are demanding a service for free from a stranger.

the stranger you are demanding a service from literally is unable to provide you with the thing you want even if they wanted to.

You are demanding I write fanfic about a show/game/novel I've never engaged with.

About a pairing I've never seen before. With characters who I don't even recognize the names of.

That is how lost you are, pal.

You sound like you need to check in with a friend regarding your mental health. I hope you feel better soon.
