I was reading earlier today about how, in Scandinavian folklore, the nomenclature that's usually rendered as "ring" in modern English can variously refer to bracelets, armlets, or torcs as well as to finger rings. It's usually clear from context which is intended, though there are some legendary "rings" whose form is not specified in surviving accounts.

This ambiguity is, of course, not present in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings; though the work and its titular object are inspired by these sagas, the One Ring is clearly described as a finger ring. However, my brain has seized upon the finger-ring-or-bracelet ambiguity and spontaneously produced an anachronistic 1990s teen movie version of The Lord of the Rings in which the One "Ring" is a cursed slap bracelet.

sylus says a gold coin isn't enough, i need to be inside my girl. based on an excerpt from his birthday event.

mdni. 18+ only. sex in his private pool.

additional inspiration art: x

While watching Sylus swim in his private pool, you quietly pull out a coin and toss it into the water.

"...Why?"

"To enrich your pool. I've always thought you should be surrounded by gold coins, but since I don't have any, the regular one will have to do."

"One coin isn't enough to enrich this pool, I'm afraid. At the very least, I need — "

Sylus reaches out and pulls you into the pool, soaking you and your clothes completely.

"This is better." He wrapped one arm around your thighs, holding you up and against his body.

"A coin's not enough for you?" You raised a row, looking down at him while he gazes up at you. "You have to grab me too?"

His lips softly meets yours.

"I'm just taking what I want."

He slowly kisses you over and over again, every one of them gentle and filled with love. "You can't imply that I'm being greedy."

"Then what are you being?"

"A perfectly normal person doing perfectly normal things."

You're unable to suppress a smile, especially with the way he's looking at you, making you feel as if you're the most precious thing in the room.

Feeling your clothes stick uncomfortably against your skin, you decided to remove them and strip down to your underwear.

Luckily, you didn't have your phone nor anything important on you other than the coins and crumpled receipt in the pocket of your shorts.

Sylus enjoyed the show for a second, watching you lift your shirt over your head and exposing the red bra that he had gotten for you some time ago. His eyes shamelessly looks at your chest right before you got the shirt off and threw it at the side of the pool.

You moved your hands to get rid of your shorts, but Sylus stopped you.

"I got you, sweetie."

He first took your hands and placed them on his shoulders before releasing his hold on your thighs. Once they were free to move around, his fingers tugged on the waistband of your shorts, then he pulled it down so you can kick them off you and place it next to your shirt.

You took the moment to admire Sylus up close as he combed his soaked hair using his fingers.

Droplets of water embellishes his skin as he stretches his muscles after working them out during the swimming session that you've just interrupted.

"Other than a single coin, do you have anything else to offer to me?" he asked, resting his forehead against yours.

"I'm afraid not." You wrapped your arms around his neck, enclosing all the distance between your bodies. "Just me."

Sylus smiled softly. "Are you sure? That's more than enough treasure than I could ever ask for."

His hands caught your legs and urged you to wrap them around his waist. Once you're locked onto him, he took several steps forward until your back hit the wall of the pool.

While both of you have your eyes closed, he gave one quick kiss on your cheek before his lips covered yours.

As you were distracted by a series of brief yet tender kisses that caused you to melt under his touch, Sylus' hands made their way to your ass. He squeezed them right before one of his hands crawled to your underwear and traced your folds with his thumb.

You gasped against his lips as your body tensed up with surprise.

Sylus' eyes flickered to your face for a moment, checking for any signs of discomfort. When he found nothing but pleasure in your half-lidded eyed and parted lips, he slowly continued to feel you with his thumb.

The soft moans that you desperately try to muffle by burying your face against his neck only encouraged him to go further, and so he moved your panty aside and massaged your clit and took satisfaction at the way your body stiffened.

He took his sweet time making sure that you're feeling good. Once he could sense that you're losing your patience, he stuck a finger inside you and moved it back out slowly for a few times before adding another one.

"Sylus..."

The way your nails dug through his shoulders while your insides clenched caused Sylus' breaths to grow heavy. His swimming shorts felt uncomfortably tight as his cock hardened, needing to replace his fingers that's making you fall apart.

He ached to be inside you.

But first, he wants to taste you.

Maybe he is being greedy, after all.

But it doesn't matter.

He'll gladly be the greediest man alive, if it means he gets to have every part of you.

Your heart, your body, your soul.

Sylus withdrew his fingers out of you, much to your confusion and disappointment. Before you could even wonder if something was wrong, he suddenly grabbed your legs and lifted you up, placing you on the deck of the pool.

"What are you — "

He remained in the pool, lower body still submerged. He stands in front of you, right between your legs, face perfectly aligned with your thighs.

He intertwined his fingers with your left hand. "Just making sure I enjoy every part of your generous offering."

And with that, his mouth busies itself by diving into your core.

Your other hand rested on the back of his neck as his tongue laps on your cunt and juices. He grunted against your pussy and the vibration it created emitted a squeal out of you.

You could've sworn you felt him smirk smugly as he's eating you out.

So you gave his hair a slightly rough tug.

And he grunted again, this time even louder.

And this time, you really did come and squirted right on his face.

"Fuck...!"

Without much time to recover, Sylus took both of your hands and pulled you back down in the pool with him.

His lips desperately devoured yours. His tongue slips inside and roughly crashes with yours. You caressed his jaw while he pulls your hips against his body, letting you feel the bulge that's ready to burst out of his shorts.

He wanted you to know what you do to him.

All this time when he had been pleasuring you with his hands and mouth, blood has been rushing south, right between his legs.

As soon as your fingers rubbed against his cock through his shorts, Sylus' heart raced and his face heated up even more than it already has from the way you'd stolen his breath from all the deep, heavy kisses.

This time, it was your turn to smirk and tease him.

You enjoyed the way his chest started to heave as you stuck your hand inside his shorts and stroke him slowly, running your thumb around the tip of his cock.

He quickly grew impatient and started to thrust against your hand, groaning quietly in between leaving marks on your neck.

You felt him throb under your touch, and it made you squeeze your thighs together as you grew excited to feel him inside you.

At last, you pulled down his shorts and threw it aside once it was off. Before you could do anything else, Sylus let out an impatient growl and wrapped your legs around his hips.

His cock brushed against your pussy and both of you hissed at the short-lasted friction. He guided the tip of his cock in the entrance of your cunt and slowly eased inside.

His gazed shifted to your face and his eyes softened at your half-dazed expression. One hand reached up from your back to brush some strands of hair away from your eyes, then he wiped some specks of sweat that formed on your forehead, as a result of all the steamy actions you've done.

He gave you a gentle kiss on the nose, then at your lips, before filling you up with all of his length. He stayed still for a moment, savoring the way you're clenching him so tightly.

His cock twitched while already inside you as he does his best to restrain himself, to stop his urges to fuck you hard and fast, just for a moment to appreciate your warmth.

But it was you that started to move first.

Your hips began to sway back and forth while your arms enclosed around his neck and shoulders, eliciting a moan out of him that echoed throughout the private pool.

Sylus gripped your ass and encouraged you to take him in deeper. The water around you rippled at every movement you made, and its splashes joined the sounds that the two of you would cry out of pleasure.

The private pool isn't soundproof at all, but there's currently no one else around so there's no reason to hold back your moans.

Unable to stop himself, Sylus' hips snapped foward to meet yours and picked up the pace until the two of you are chasing after your breath.

His eyes focused on your face as he drilled into you right before reaching his climax, pulling out of you to empty himself.

You came not long after him, resting your forehead against his chest while you try to calm your racing heart.

Sylus planted a kiss on top of your head. "My birthday has been over since yesterday and yet you've given me another wonderful gift. So, this is what it feels like to be spoiled."

just came back from the stray kids concert

[gently-folded-paper-cranes]

im in disbelief at the fact that a lot of folks are simply over palestine. like protests are dwindling down. people are not very interested in news related to gaza. some are simply over it.

israel hasn't let aid in gaza in 70 days. gaza has been starving for 70 days. the condition of people there is horrendous.

i find it distressing to think about children in gaza. how does one continue to have a childhood in a genocide? they don't have school. they don't have safety. they don't have food.

despite all this, the kids will be alright. they'll be alright once the genocide stops and they get back to 'normal'. till then, can we please try to support them however we can?

this fundraiser (verified) helps feed a family which includes two young children. please consider helping their mother take care of them.

Most annoying thing to remember is that you're litterally just a homosapien. You're just a very smart animal. If you feel like shit, imagine you're an exotic pet for some alien species and do what they'd do to keep you healthy. You gotta be well cared for. Animal abuse is a crime for a reason

"My pet human, Greg, hasn't left his bed in a long time. He's just scrolling his phone all day" Greg needs enrichment. Add enrichment in his enclosure and take him on walks

"Greg has been super lethargic and sad recently for seemingly no reason" Greg need vitamins, take him outside for some vitamin D and fresh air. Perhaps a picnic

"Greg won't sleep even though he's been super lethargic" Greg needs a schedule, especially for the lights in his enclosure.

"Greg has been super distant recently and keeps crying to sad music" Humans are pack animals, he needs to hug another human and hang out. Perhaps pack bond with a rock together

"Greg has been flailing around and panicking, his breathing is way faster than it should be" Greg is overwhelmed. Take Greg out of the situation and give him time to calm down. Perhaps somewhere cozy with tea and a movie

"Greg won't do what he needs to do" Train him. Humans do great with positive reinforcement, give him little treats when he's doing good

"Greg he's been super anxious and tired, he can't seem to enjoy his days" Humans needs to move around. Give Greg something to exercise with. Things like stretching, weight lifting, walking, or even dancing will help

"Even though I've taken really good care of Greg, he still has been having issues" Greg is ill, take him to the doctor. You might need a specialist (therapist, optometrist, oncologist, etc)

I know it feels patronizing, and I know it feels embarrassing or that you're "just giving into the clichés", but you are literally just a creature. You need to sleep/eat on time, you need enrichment, and you need to take care of your social needs. Humans are complicated animals, but they are also beautiful and all deserve proper care. This obviously isn't a perfect analogy, nothing is, but if you saw your friend taking care of their pet the way you take care of yourself, would you be concerned?

Most of you will not answer "I would rather die" although some of you will say this.

Once again I would like to draw your attention outside the box, to a child living in suffering, famine, displacement, malnutrition and anemia, a beautiful child who is no more than 13 months old, and since her birth she has been suffering in the midst of the ongoing war in Gaza. when I spoke to @zinaanqar16 today they are fine and alive, but the situation is still very bad and difficult and needs your support and help.

I would like to address your living consciences and your humanity to stand by Ronza, donate now to save a family in Gaza.

broooo did you seriously disturb my eternal rest & bring me back to this mortal coil just because my ancient enemy the eternal night has returned? after i sealed it away and everything? which one of you tampered with my binding runes 🙄

[gently-folded-paper-cranes]

I constantly manipulate everyone around me by calculating what would be the nicest thing to do in any given situation, l making a point of doing it when it matters the most. This is supported by subtly, casually tailoring what I talk about to the person I'm speaking to, and saying what I think they may find funny or interesting. the really sick thing is I look just like a normal person and there's no way you can tell me apart from anyone. If I weren't such a monster I would be afraid knowing people like this are out there, but I know I'm on top and have nothing to fear.
