like okay if we're talking about this anatomically the ear holes on a human skull and a cat are actually in the same spot it's a difference in the shape of the cranium. you can see what's happening if you look at hairless cats

ears is big. so you can put the cat ears wherever you want if you start them at the same point as where the human ears would go.

just like. pull the sideburns back a little and it's fine. it's fine.

it's the best way to catify your blorbos with visible human ears. but that's just my........ purrsonal opinion..............

Even Jesus escaped from the noise.

A lot of us do not understand the importance of silence. We don’t like to sit in it because it is too quiet. We don’t like to be still because we've been conditioned into believing that we need to be constantly working, constantly entertained, and constantly busy; that to be still is to be lazy. But by keeping ourselves busy and distracted we neglect inner work that needs to be done within us and even more important we neglect intimacy with God. We miss out on much needed rest that we didn’t realize we needed and we also miss out on opportunities to grow in our relationship with God. OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS TOP PRIORITY. It is in the silence where we learn many things about who we are in Christ and also who Christ is. It is in the quiet place where God speaks the loudest. It is in sitting still, where we see God moving. Silence is important and necessary for the Christian to grow in relationship with the Father. Some of us don’t even realize that being constantly busy drowns out the voice of God! How can you hear God speak when you are always surrounded by noise? How can you spend quality time with the Father when you keep yourself constantly busy? Give God His time, give Him your undivided attention. Get away from it all! No noise, no distractions, just you and God. <3

You work in an office. You have coworkers. One day, you decide to bring in cake. It's a favor on your part, but you made the cake, the cake looks nice, and you want to share. So you bring it in and people love it! It's nice having people enjoy the cake, so the next week you bring in another one. It becomes a habit, and people really like the cake.

One week, you don't bring in a cake. People ask, and you say 'Oh I was just really busy this week, I didn't have time' or you just shrug and say 'I didn't feel like making cake this week' and the nice, respectable coworkers go 'That's okay! If you make cake again soon, I'd enjoy that, but there's no rush'. and the nasty coworkers go 'Oh well you should have at least bought a cake and brought it :/' Even though you're under no obligation to bring a cake at all.

You go back to bringing cake, and then suddenly there's complaints. 'I wanted chocolate' 'Why aren't there sprinkles?' 'You should have added strawberries' 'I don't know why this cake doesn't have two tiers' 'This isn't as good as your other cakes, ugh' type of comments of people where instead of saying 'Thank you for the cake, it's very sweet of you to bring this' they begin offering unsolicited criticism that isn't encouraging, it's disparaging.

You bring in coconut cake, label it correctly, and then someone who doesn't like coconut goes 'Ugh you couldn't have brought a second cake just for me?' and finally, you throw your hands up and say 'No more cake!'

and then your coworkers wonder why you don't bring cake anymore.

Writers are bakers. Cake is fanfic. Please stop being entitled coworkers. You don't need to offer 'constructive criticism' unless we ask for it. You don't need to demand additional chapters. You don't need to ask writers to make the story something it isn't intended to be.

Please, just enjoy the cake. If you don't like it, make your own.

I want to hear your thoughts about Orym and Ashton's latest conversation, if you don't mind. Ugh, I can't find the post, but you wrote something along the lines of Orym often wanting to move on from things too fast, to gloss over problems that BH actually need to sit and process over. Him telling Ashton to "not spend time grappling with their demons bcs he needs their hands free to fight" sounds just like it and as sweet as that forehead kiss was, the rest of the talk feels like a soldier pep talk (which very in character).

I do think that's kind of what Ashton needed to hear, though.

So I have to disagree that it's what Ashton needed to hear; I think it's absolutely what Ashton doesn't need to hear. I think this post of mine is relevant.

The thing that got through to Ashton previously was Chetney essentially saying "if you can't keep your shit together enough not to hurt other people, you should leave," but Chetney, notably, still grapples with his demons, or at least his werewolf, concurrently with working with the group.

Again, the thing with Orym is that he is dealing with loneliness and grief, and distracting himself from those by focusing on a mission actually is pretty productive, because Will is irrevocably gone and will not come back so dwelling on that will only hurt. But Ashton does, in fact, need to wake up every morning and say "I see you, self-loathing, and you're going to be there and I'm not going to do stupid things simply because I don't like myself" but that is, in my opinion, an ongoing grappling with demons. Ashton needs to be told "we care about you, and don't fuck it up" but probably should not be told that they need to be there to fight. Again thinking about Chetney as sort of an opposing approach to Orym, but the "hey, if you want out, you can talk to me" and "you're here, that's a start" is far more important than, as you said, the soldier pep talk. Obviously Ashton should not be made to self-flagellate - truly, one cannot self-flagellate one's self out of self-loathing - but "you're allowed to have your demons along with you so long as you do not give into the worst of them" is a much better message than "push that down for now, we need you to fight." A soldier pep talk is not the right approach.

FOX TALES: LUFFY x ZORO x OC (VASYA IN HEAT 👀🔥)

fox tales

(cw: smut, threesome, polyamory, breeding kink, kitty!play, misuse of haki, dirty talk, vaginal sex, doggy style, cunnilingus, cum play/eating, daddy kink, being in heat, geez this is reminding me of old destiel fanfictions where i first discovered soooo many kinks. lmao)

thinking about...

Vasya being in heat and needing Zoro to help Luffy fuck her brains out

Luffy holding Vasya in his arms, half-awake and mewling, to Zoro’s bunk to ask for an extra dick and pair of hands. like, panting and flushed with Vasya pulling at his clothes, already having gone so many rounds in a row.

(a/n: what do we feel about third person vs. second person? i know first person is not my personal favorite, and second person seems to be the standard use, the narrator being "you." buuuut i really like writing in third person, esp about my oc! she's Vasya and i wanna say her name!!! also it makes my heart happy to write about her and Luffy together. they make me smile :)

Songs: "STUPID BIG TEETH" by EMMY

words: 2.8

“Zoro!” Luffy pants, a squirreling Vasya in his arms. He’s standing outside Zoro’s door, midnight air pooling in from above deck. Zoro is half-asleep, good eye still crusted from sleep.

“What’s wrong?” He groggily asks, not clocking the red forming on Vasya’s cheeks, or her scrabbled claws at Luffy’s shirt collar. He's wearing a black t-shirt, thrown on inside out and backwards. The white tag hangs from the front of his collar. Vasya is pulling at it now, trying to drag it off Luffy's shoulders. He grimaces, trying not to drop her at the same time as he fends her off.

"Kitty's in heat!" Luffy huffs, adjusting her weight in his arms. Her tails are all puffed out, fluffy and white, and her ears are flat against her head. She's not wearing much, herself.

Zoro opens the door wider.

"Come in."

***

Zoro holds you against his broad chest, shirtless, while Luffy spreads your legs on the bed. Each of the crewmates got their own room on the Sunny, and Zoro's bedroom is a reflection of him: sparse, minimalist, and sleepy. His bed is really the only piece of furniture in it, besides a dresser with a bellyband slung over an open drawer, t-shirts spilling out underneath. It smells musky, like him, but not entirely unpleasant. Like black coffee and thyme.

"Luffyyy," you whine, arching your back against him. "I need you."

"I know, baby," he says, sitting up with your legs around his waist. He spreads his hands along your waist, leaning forward to kiss you. You whimper, the ache in your core nigh-on unbearable. Hot lava roils in your chest, flaring all the way down your spine to your toes. It's so inconvenient to be a fox, sometimes.

"I was wondering why you two have been so fuckin' chaotic lately," Zoro rumbles against your back. You lean into him, ears flicking around his face as you rest your head against his shoulder. He shifts, around you. "Is that the courtship you were talkin' about?"

Luffy nods.

His voice and demeanor are dark, intense. Like a crow assessing a particularly thrilling puzzle. He runs a hand through his jet-black hair. "Yeah, she's so mischievous this time of year, apparently. And bitey," he hooks his fingers into your underwear, and starts to slide them down your kicking legs. You moan, twisting your spine against Zoro's chest. You can't think; all there is is heat.

"Play," you say, small. Luffy hushes you, kissing along your stomach. Zoro tightens his hold around your waist.

"Naughty fox," he chides you, gently. "Gimme a sec," his voice is raspy, drenched in lust from hours-long play sessions previous. You're grateful for his stamina.

Zoro plants a kiss on your heated shoulder. "S'okay, sweetheart" he whispers, "Be a good kitten and hold still." He rubs his jaw against your cheek, the rough stubble scraping your skin. You nuzzle against the welcome touch. You, Zoro, and Luffy had already agreed on helping fill your needs together.

Luffy finally dips his head down to your cunt, bypassing foreplay to start biting at your clit. You yelp, jumping a bit in Zoro's arms. He shushes you, carefully stroking his fingers over your stomach.

"Ya like bites, don'tcha, kitty?" Luffy asks from between your legs, his breath hot and ticklish on your dripping ache. You nod, feral.

He licks and sucks at your sensitivity. The pleasure drips down your limbs, hot and sticky like honey. You moan, relaxing finally into Zoro's steady weight. He smells like pine trees. You're grateful for his strength. And Luffy's, too, as he starts to pump you full of haki-hardened fingers. Glass toys are your favorite, and his iron skin is the closest thing akin to the weight and press of glass. He's not cold, though. He's hotter than you are, striking heat like a match against your cunt. You hitch a short breath, sharp in your lungs.

"Please," you moan, "Please, captain, fuck me?"

Luffy groans, stilling his fingers inside you. He rubs at the spot you love, glancing his eyes up to Zoro's. "Ya don't want him first?"

You shiver down Zoro's abs, hot and soft behind you. You shake your head. "Nuh uh, daddy. You first."

Luffy grins, shrugging for Zoro's benefit. "Alright, vixen. Sorry, Zoro." He giggles. He hooks your legs over his shoulders, getting up to kneel. He kicks off his hastily thrown-off shorts (which he'd flung on as you'd begged him to take you to Zoro's room with him) and comes back to settle in the home he's made between your legs.

He presses his cock at your entrance. You're already soaked. Zoro reaches down to finger your clit, rubbing it in slow circles. He breathes heavily against your shoulder. He sinks his teeth into the flesh. You moan, loving the burn. You're so feral like this, leaning into every instinct of a carrion-predator, wanting to hide and moan and run and cum all at the same time. It's so chaotic, a myriad of whirlwind emotions circling inside your psyche.

Your body just wants more.

Luffy starts to press his cockhead inside you, warm and stretching you out oh-so-deliciously. You hum, finally feeling a little at peace. The weight of his cock is anchoring you like a rock in a storm.

"Fuuuuuck," you moan, feeling your tails shiver of their own accord. There's no blue light this time, no spirit-dust flickering off you like fireflies. It's all just flesh and blood and meat and bone.

You're viscerally afraid, alive, awakening. Clarity only just out of reach as you see stars in your vixen's eyes.

Luffy tethers you back to earth, kissing your hand that he then gathers at his chest. His heart is racing beneath your fingertips. "Love ya, baby," he growls lowly. You whimper, nodding along.

"Love you too, Luffy!" His name is sweet on your tongue, spiced like mead in winter. He is your sun in winter. The flame in the hearth, the embers at sunset. The baking bread aside the coals. You want him, so badly. You ache for it, twitching hungrily as you sink his cock further into your heated walls. He gasps, loudly.

"Quiet," Zoro warns, knocking back against the headboard behind him. His eye is half-closed in lust, as you crane your neck to watch him talk. "Could wake someone up."

"Who cares?" Luffy emphasizes with a particular thrust, "Everyone knows we're fucking, anyway."

True.

Zoro snorts, and starts playing with your over-sensitive tits. His fingerpads are rough as sandpaper, and you gasp. "Z-Zoro!" You protest, arcing away from him. You don't go far, though, sandwiched between both his and Luffy's steel frames as you are.

"Whaaat, ya don't like me?" He grins at your ear. (You have both sets of ears: mortal and fox). "Thought ya wanted us both to breed ya. Huh, pretty vixen? Don't ya want both your men inside your cunt?"

"Fuck--!" you breathe, arcing your tails in wild shapes against him. He pushes them down, shoving them out of the way with one arm. Two out of nine peek out from his grasp. "Want you both," you mutter, prayer-like. Desperation heats your core as Luffy's pounds become sweet and scattered, him already reaching his climax for the nth time tonight.

"Lu-uffy," you grunt, feeling him speed up inside you. His hips slap against your ass, loud and unashamed, as he spills his seed inside you. It leaks out and around his cock, dripping with your slick onto Zoro's mattress. Sorry, Zoro.

"Your turn," Luffy huffs, falling over without grace onto his side. He poofs into the covers, snoring already. A blue bubble pops in and out of his face. Zoro sighs, reaching down from your tits to your ass, pushing you forward onto all fours.

"Sit," he says, stroking his cock behind your ass. He slaps the thick, heavy weight against your thigh. You gasp, skin prickling in surprise. You've never taken him from behind, before.

Doggy style's your favorite.

Zoro wastes no time in stuffing you full of his hard cock, impatiently throbbing from watching Luffy fuck you. He starts a rhythm, hard and fast, slapping against your ass cheeks with rippling force. You feel the soft parts of you shake with his movements. It feels so good to have your tits swinging for him, your nipples hard and sensitive. You reach under yourself, supporting your weight on three limbs, to thumb at your own buds.

Zoro grunts, reaching down to slap your hands away. He pushes your face down, gasping as you go, as you realize he's grabbed some of Luffy's cum to smear it all over your face. It's cold and slick, sticking to your cheeks from Zoro's fingers. He scoops up another blob of his captain's cum, and shoves it into your open mouth. You take it, panting hotly. It tastes like shit but it's still so good.

"Huh, ya like that?" He asks you roughly, pinning your arms behind your back. His breath is ragged as he pounds into you from behind. Your pussy clenches down, hard. "Ah, I fuckin' feel how much you like that, dirty girl," he grits his teeth as he slams his hips against your ass. He slows his pace, long and lazy, but still rocking you to your core. You scream, hoarse.

"F-fuck, Zoro! Yes! Yes, yes, yesyesyesyes--," Luffy cuts you off, roughly shoving his fingers into your face. He fucks your mouth with his thick digits, eyes hazy and half-lidded from lust and sleep. He's recovered now, apparently. His hair is black and fluffy, disheveled from where you stare at his handsome face from upside down. His knuckles smear the cum still left across your face. You moan.

Luffy's fingers are merciless, speeding up to match Zoro's pace. Finally, something pushes that button inside you that makes you cum. You shake on the swordsman's cock, eyes rolling up to the back of you skull.

"Good kitty," Luffy whispers, voice dripping with command. His emperor's haki flits around you, like ruby red lightning strikes. His energy is warm yet supple--as rubber as he is--stretching and relaxing and pulling like taffy. He waves it over and over your body, like strokes of his sure fingers. It feels hot, like sun-warm stones being raked over your back. He presses into your feet, your hands, your face. The burning skin beneath his cooling cum.

"Not done yet," Zoro grunts, bruising your hips with his vicelike grasp. His cock is thrusting inside you, harder and harder. Your walls are already fluttering and overheated, clenching down on his length like a bear trap. He huffs, grunting and moaning and swearing under his breath. He feels good, apparently.

You bite.

Luffy gasps, pulling his fingers out of your mouth with a curse. "Fuck, kitty!" He complains, "I told ya not to do that!"

"So-rry," you moan, broken and hoarse. Your heat is coming to a close; you can feel the satisfaction creeping up. You've cum a bunch already, but your body still needs Zoro's seed inside you.

"Bad kitty," Luffy says again, gripping you by the back of the neck. He hauls you up, and stuffs his cock into your mouth without ceremony.

"Mmph!" You manage out, tongue lolling up against his length. He moans, tipping his head back in ecstasy. His hips shudder weakly, thrusting against your face as you open your throat for him.

Zoro slaps your ass.

You grunt, stuffed full of cock in both your pussy and mouth. Your tails arch, fanning over you like peacock feathers. Zoro grabs one in his teeth. He holds it gently, but firm, like it's the handle of Wado Ichimonji. You rock yourself back on his cock as best you can. Another orgasm is creeping up your thighs, and you clench around him hard. Your pussy is fluttering, moaning and soaking, the wet squelch of his dick inside you filling the room with homemade pornography. Luffy adds his own moans to the mix, raspy and hoarse as his boy's voice starts cracking.

"Fuckfuckfuck, kitty--," he gasps, rutting his hips against your face. Your nose is stuffed against his pelvis, breathing him in until there's nothing left. It's just him, him, him, and Zoro, and Zoro's cock, and flames licking up your abdomen--

Zoro tugs at your tail, and you cum.

"That's it, that's my girl," Luffy groans, his hands cradling your face. You shudder around Zoro's cock, his thrusts coming sloppy and haphazard, now. He's getting closer, you can tell. His cock swells inside you as you pulse around his shaft.

"Fuck, Vix--," the swordsman groans out, velvet and deep. His own conqueror's haki is emerald green: less prescient than Luffy's but still knocking you senseless all the same. It holds you from below, while Luffy's shivers all over your skin. It arcs and blasts, shooting through the room in invisible sparks that rub up against your pleasure so sweetly. Your boys take such good care of you.

Zoro mmph's through his teeth, burying himself to the hilt inside your cunt as he spills his seed. It's hot, and wet, and throbbing, and you shake against his hold. His lips sputter over words of praises, all "good girl, good baby, sweetheart, take it, just like that keep squeezing me, yeah--," as he cums inside you with a strangled moan. The swordsman is a hot lover, strong and steady, and his pace rocks you back and forth on the bed, folded as you are.

Luffy isn't far behind him, hands clenched into fists in your hair, stroking at the tips of your ears. "C'mon, Vasya," he grunts, hitting the back of your throat with every thrust. You gag and moan, but he keeps on. "Cum f'me again."

It's a command, electrified by a strike of his haki straight through your heart. You don't even need Zoro's aching thumb on your clit, you're already shivering with heat as you cream. Yes, captain. For you, captain. I'll do anything for you, captain--

"Good girl," is all he says as he finishes inside you for the hundredth time that night. Your mouth takes what it can, but still overflows with his steaming cum. It tastes bitter, and you gag. He pulls out, leaving a trail of white spend and rainbow spit from your lips to his tip. Luffy pets your hair softly, collapsing back onto his knees. "Good girl," he says, raking a hand through his ruined hair.

Luffy's lips are puffy and swollen, his face flushed and rosy. Zoro pulls out of you too, sitting back to grab a towel from the nightstand. He raises the oil lamp, slightly. Orange light fills the room. You stare at the two men behind you, still slumped over on all fours.

"Hey."

Luffy laughs, and Zoro snorts. He wipes himself off, and then turns to you. Luffy leans forward to lick his own cum off your face. "Hi baby," he says quietly, cleaning you up like the daddy he is, "Didja like that?"

"'Course," you mumble, groaning as you push yourself up. You take the rag from Zoro to wipe at the spot between your legs. You grimace: what a mess. Luffy giggles again, and you can't help but join in. "Thanks, guys."

"Feelin' normal again?" Zoro asks, standing up to chug some water from the canteen by his bed. Luffy stretches out an arm to snatch it from his grasp, and he curses in complaint. "Oi!"

"Shishishi," Luffy snickers, dousing his own head with water. He shakes his hair out like a dog. He pours water over you, too.

"Hey!" You splutter out, waving him away. "No fair!"

"Yes fair," he teases, leaning forward to bite your ass. You squeak in surprise. "Feelin' good yet, kitty?"

"Yes," you say, grateful, finally standing up to stretch your legs. Oh, fuck. You're gonna be sore in the morning. "Can we sleep here?"

"Nope," Zoro laughs, "Luffy snores."

"Aww, Zoro!" The captain complains, hanging onto Zoro's shoulder. He plants messy kisses all along his swordsman's collarbones. "Pleeease?"

You both blink up at Zoro with pleading eyes, and he finally caves with a sigh. "Fine," he huffs, falling back with his arms crossed over his chest. You squeal, jumping over him like a fox diving into snow. "Fuck!" He shouts, winded, before tangling you in his arms, if just to keep you still. "Stop that."

"Sorry," you giggle, nuzzling into his broad chest. "'Night."

"'Night!" Luffy echoes, snuggling up on Zoro's other side. You both wrap your arms around him, so that you're folded over each other in one big, happy pile.

[cursed-tale]

Very controversial writing opinion, but sometimes, when your feel your writing is bad, it’s because it is bad. 

I’m so tired of seeing writing advice that tells you to just keep pushing through whenever you feel that your writing is bad, or that it only appears bad to you because you’re the one who wrote it, or whatever, because a lot of the time, the solution is not to just keep plowing your way through but to take a step back and figure out why it’s bad. 

Subconsciously, you know something is off, which is why you can’t shake the feeling that the writing is bad, but (especially when you are first starting out) you can’t articulate why it’s off. Figuring out how to do so is an important skill, because how can you get better without being able to identify what’s wrong?

Don’t just keep writing despite it feeling bad; figure out why it’s bad, correct it, and improve. Storytelling is a skill that doesn’t come by forcing your way to the end but through deliberate practice, and you cannot get better at this skill without being mindful of what you are doing. 

I know this sort of writing advice is given to people so they don’t give up writing entirely, which I do agree with! But just saying “just keep writing” isn’t actually useful to improving it, and I’m tired of only seeing that advice without any instructions for how to make it better.

Redeeming Qualities to Give to Your Villains

Do you have a character who's in desperate need of some green flags, but they can't be anything too heroic? Well, then, you've come to the right place! In other words, here are 10 redeeming qualities to give to your villains!

Ability to grow - Yes, this is pretty basic, but if your character is demonstrating speedy growth and attempting to understand those around them fairly, then it's revealing more open-mindedness to their persona!

A rational mind - The capability to decide decisions quickly and efficiently during important times is an incredibly important trait, while not allowing emotions to cloud their judgement exhibits impressive leadership skills!

Intelligence - This one's pretty obvious, intelligence shows that your character is capable of their position and/or more!

Self-awareness - Self-awareness in your character demonstrates that they understand what they're doing is wrong, and that they're not doing things just on a whim!

Fairness - Honestly, this characteristic can be included in many different types of characters; just sneak it in and reveal it at the right time! A character who refuses to play dirty, is ultimately, a respectable character.

Patience - Patience is one of the keys to self-control. When your character is willing to wait, they prove their willpower and cautious thinking!

Consideration - Don't mix up consideration with kindness! A considerate person will think about the people around them, but not always out of compassion. Regardless, they are looking out for those around them and making a decision based on that!

Determination - Readers often overlook this trait, but being determined and working hard is definitely a positive characteristic, no matter the goal!

Morality behind actions - Does your character only do evil things for fun, or do they do it with an ethical goal in mind? The latter demonstrates a more humane side to your villain, where they are aware of the issues going on, and want to change it by all means.

Self-control - Having self-control also demonstrates a rational mind! They prevent themselves from doing unnecessary things, focusing only on the important goals!

See? Finding positive traits for antagonists isn't all that hard if you know what you're looking for! For those who are struggling, however, I hope that this is able to spark your creativity! Happy New Year, it's officially 2024! <3

Happy writing~

3hks ;D
