Do you know any good sources for burn scar care?
I’m writing a character who was burned in a spaceship crash. The story is set several years after the fact, and I want to incorporate that detail into the story. What would a burn scar care routine look like?
Hi!
I generally recommend medical websites for this kind of stuff. There are tons of information readily available online, especially about things as common as a burn injury. Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors or MSKTC can be helpful for you!
While caring for a burn scar will be different for everyone (there's many types, degrees, plus just individual differences between burn survivors themselves) some of the things that you can include;
Burnt skin doesn't produce its own oils, so it gets dry. It needs to be moisturized, oil-based products (think coconut or grape seed oil) are often used. The heavier the lotion, the fewer times a day it needs to be applied.
Massaging a scar, especially when it's relatively new. It can be a massage, but stretching or just putting pressure on it is part of that too. It helps the skin from becoming extremely sensitive. Initially you do it delicately, but after the scars are matured it's fine (or recommended even) to put some force into it. This loosens them up.
Itching is a huge issue. Both massaging and moisturizing help with that, but if it's still causing problems then there are medications that could provide some relief.
Protecting the skin from the sun. All year, including cloudy weather. Sunblock, big hats, sunglasses if needed, all that. This applies to people with darker skin as well because the skin loses its pigment after a burn (it can sometimes come back but it's definitely not a guarantee).
Avoiding the heat. A lot of burn survivors will have problems with temperature regulation because burns damage the sweat glands, so they overheat faster. There's nothing burn-specific here, same protocol as for avoiding a heatstroke - drink water and keep out of the sun.
Wearing softer and looser clothing. Rough and tight clothes can cause blisters, and that is a Problem. Inappropriate materials could also induce more itching.
Taking pain meds. Chronic pain is common, so your character might need medication.
I definitely wouldn't say that this is an exhaustive list, but I think it's a good start! If you need more details, I think the resources linked above should work.
I'm glad to see people interested in burn scars being a disability that requires a lot of care rather than seeing it as a solely visual thing! Makes it much more authentic :-)
I hope this helps!

The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节), a Chinese celebratory season observed by many East and Southeast Asians, has begun. Held on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which is in the middle of autumn, the festival marks the end of the season’s harvest and is a time to appreciate the moon at its fullest and brightest. Besides feasting eyes on the moon and lanterns of different shapes and sizes, Mooncakes (月饼), a rich pastry with all sorts of fillings, are undoubtedly the main highlight of the festival and are traditionally shared among family and friends.
Tumblr media
The Cantonese Mooncake (广式月饼) is the most commonly found traditional mooncake in Singapore. Its fillings consist of lotus seed or red bean paste and usually include one, two or four salted duck egg yolks. Many would also be familiar with the snow skin variant that was created in Hong Kong in the 1960s as a healthier alternative to traditional baked mooncakes. The fillings and a ball of dough are traditionally pressed into a wooden mould, which embosses intricate wordings of the pastry shop’s name or stuffing on top of the pastry.
Tumblr media
A mooncake with various flavours such as rich, savoury-sweet and peppery, the Hainanese Mooncake (海南月饼), also known as Su Yan Bing (酥盐饼) is traditionally filled with ingredients such as fried shallots, lard, salt, white pepper, rose-flavoured white sugar, sesame seeds, melon seeds and dried wild tangerine skin peel. The filling is encased in a thin crust made with flour, salt and lard.
Tumblr media
The Hakka Mooncake (客家月饼) is also called Yu Gao (月糕) and is a flat, snow-white disc that is typically made with cooked glutinous rice flour and sugar, giving it a crumbly and powdery texture. It is usually embellished with more intricate designs, often with animals and flowers. Although it doesn’t usually contain any fillings, some come with candied winter melon, desiccated coconut and sesame seeds mixed with glutinous rice flour, sugar, margarine and water.
Tumblr media
Easily distinguishable by the red stamp of Chinese characters on the top of the crust and its white disc-shaped pastry which resembles a bright moon, the Hokkien Mooncake (福建月饼) consists of a dry and sweet filling that is made of candied winter melon, tangerine peel, melon seeds, sugar, and cooked with lard or peanut oil. A less common type is a savoury version with minced meat filling. Once known as Scholar Cakes (状元糕), they were given to those who took part in the Imperial examinations. Today, it is given as a symbol of good luck to those who are about to sit for their exams.
Tumblr media
Many would be familiar with the Teochew Mooncakes (潮州月饼). It has a crispy, spiral-layered crust that crumbles easily. It originated from the Chaoshan (潮汕) area in Guangdong Province and typically consists of yam paste and a salted duck egg yolk. Other traditional versions of the Teochew mooncake are still made by old school bakeries in Singapore. For example, La Bia (朥饼 or lard biscuit), where ‘La’ refers to pork oil, has a thinner, flaky crust with a thick mung bean or red bean filling. There are also alternative fillings including red bean, mung bean or lotus seed paste. There is also a steamed version of the typically baked Teochew mooncake, called La Gao (朥糕). It can either be served plain or with a mung bean filling.
Tumblr media
A Snow Skin Mooncake (冰皮月饼) variant was created in Hong Kong in the 1960s as a healthier alternative to traditional baked mooncakes. Similar to mochi, its crust is made of glutinous rice flour and varies in colour, based on the flavours used. And unlike traditional mooncakes, these are best served cold!

☆༉ — KATSUKI BAKUGOU. love island’s heart rate challenge.
Tumblr media
about. you’re the bombshell katsuki tells her not to worry about. i just wanted to hop on the love island!bakugou trend because i finally managed to catch up and watch some.
warnings. suggestive. minors & ageless blogs do not interact. implied cheating but not really bc it’s love island, british slang lol, lap dances, making out, saucy outfits & fem!reader.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the girl bakugou couples up with has been worried about you from the moment you first stepped into the villa.
and rightly so.
you’ve had almost every boy charmed since your arrival. kirishima made you lunch on your first day, todoroki and sero eagerly followed you for a chat by the pool to express their interest in you at the party hosted in your honour on night one. but you, you had your sights set on katsuki bakugou.
as a bombshell, you’d been given the power to choose any guy you wanted to take on a first date to the sandy shores of Majorca — with crystal clear waters, fresh fruits and champagne as your wingmen. and while you had initially picked bakugou for his sharp jaw line, mysterious wine red eyes and obviously the rest of his good looks (those abs looked like they were taken straight from a magazine) you were pleasantly surprised by how warm he was. his eye contact was strong, the raspy lilt to his voice was both alluring and calming and he seemed genuinely interested in you as a person and not because you were his type down on paper (though that was a bonus).
you laugh and smile about where you grew up, your favourite things and your red flags and by the end of the date — bakugou is feeding you fruit and helping you stand with a warm hand wrapped around your wrist. “s’only been a few days so i’m not completely closed off,” he mumbles a little too fast. “i’m open to getting to know you.”
you want to get to know him too.
you don’t tell the girls this when they crowd around you with blinged out bikinis and coconut scented sunscreen to ask you how your date went. you’d rather keep your cards close to your chest, but you tell them how nice bakugou is, how sweet he is. some of the girls can instantly tell how much he’s into you. bakugou’s match doesn’t say much.
“obviously, i don’t want to step on anyone’s toes.” you expressed politely to the girls, your eyes doe eyed and bright, voice level and sweet. “i’ve come in at a difficult point, so i’ll just get to know everyone and let the boys know that the ball is in their court.” you don’t care if it makes you seem fake, but you don’t have any plans on leaving the island without bakugou on your arm.
the rest of the week is spent hopping between the boys, wearing all of your most sizzling swimsuits and pyjama sets — knowing that katsuki’s eyes are following you everywhere around the villa. he makes you iced coffees and scrambled egg with toast at breakfast times. he likes you and you like him and it’s causing problems with the girl the blonde is coupled up with.
on the fourth day, you get a text whilst in the pool — schmoozing with bakugou’s rival, deku. you announce it while he smooches up your ankle, making bakugou see flashes of red “islanders, it’s time to see how much of your heart truly belongs to the person you’ve coupled up with. tonight we’ll test that #heartratechallenge #peepthepulse!”
it’s then that you know exactly what to do. exactly how to get your man.
the producers supply you with a cute little number, one that you specifically request in bakugou’s favourite colour — the burnt orange lace of your corset and tiny shorts contrasting perfectly against your skin, accompanied by thigh high socks that squeeze around the plush flesh. your new best friend in the villa helps you smoke out your eyelids and touch up your makeup for the perfect look while she tells you that you look good enough to eat.
and you are. when it’s your turn to get those hearts racing — you stand before the boys at the fire pit who drink you in like a tall glass of water on simmering hot day and eat up your curves highlighted in your skimpy little outfit like men starved. you start with sero and make your way down the line, taking his finger into your mouth before kissing up his arm and right to his ear once you’re in his lap. todoroki digs his thumbs into your waist when you throw it back on him, kirishima let’s out a low whistle when you give him extra special treatment and a kiss on the neck (courtesy of being bakugou’s best friend), you let kaminari feel up and down your curves and nibble on your ear.
bakugou is rigid in his place by the time you reach his rival izuku — and you put on an extra show, pulling the man to a stand and grinding on him like nobody’s business. the boys holler and whoop and scream, practically sweating at the show you put on for them.
when you reach the blonde, you crawl into his lap tantalisingly slow, his rough hands instinctively coming up to cup your thighs — smooth over the skin as katsuki leans back in his seat and manspreads to make room for you.
“hi handsome,” you greet him with an innocent purr, running your hands up to the back of his neck to toy with his baby hairs.
you’re so close to him that he can feel your heat spread through his soul and burn him from the inside out — replacing any memory of the girl that he’s coupled up with. “hi gorgeous, what took ya so long?”
“i wanted to save the best for last.”
bakugou’s cheeks flood with a red that rivals his eyes when you grind down into him, calculatedly placing your lips inches away from his thumping pulse point. you grab at his hair and he grabs at you, practically groping one another as you ghost over his lips, tease him with the prospect of a kiss. he can hear his own heart thundering through his ears, the blood rushing to his head (and between his legs) making him too dizzy to even think. saliva pools in bakugou’s mouth as you make a mess of him without even trying, rolling yourself in his lap, shaking your ass against him, whispering filthy shit into his ear even though the mics can pick it up.
to wrap it up, when you slide off of katsuki, you pretend to drop something — standing up sensually to give him a little treat. his eyes clearly glued to your cute behind.
by the time your turn is over, katsuki knows that he’s done for. he wants you, and the way your vanilla perfume lingers on his sun licked skin. he’s in a daze for the rest of the game and doesn’t even notice the way his girl’s face twists at the sight of your lipstick prints all over him.
neither of you can hide your faces when deku begrudgingly announces “the girl that raised bakugou’s heart rate the most was….” and your name follows suit. you offer up your most winning smile, giving the blonde those “fuck me eyes.” that really get him going from across the fire pit and he can’t help but smirk back.
the boys clap for him but the girl he’s coupled up with gives you a look that could kill.
before it all comes to head, katsuki approaches you and your best friend by the bar — hands tucked into his lose cargo pants, silver dog tags around his neck glinting around his thick neck as he juts his head in the direction of the sunbed’s.
“can i pull you for a quick chat?” he grunts and you grin, offering him your hand despite the stares from the other islanders. you want katsuki bad, so you’ll be as controversial as you want — no matter who’s coupled up with who. “obviously, i like you, a lot.” he starts, helping you sit down, hand around your wrist and eyes full of admiration.
since you’ve come into the villa all he can think about is you, your laugh and your smile. to say his head was turned would be an understatement. katsuki bakugou is crushing hard on you.
“i think you can tell, ‘specially from how that challenge went.” it’s hard for him to open up like this and admit it to you, but your connection goes beyond your beauty and bakugou feels himself gravitating towards you more than his old match. he doesn’t want to pass this up, maybe lose you to izuku. “i said i was open, but i think… if you picked me. i’d be completely closed off for you. i want you like that. if you’d want me too.”
he fiddles with your hands nervously as you sit opposite him, all dolled up with shiny eyes and glossy lips under the evening sky. you think katsuki couldn’t get any cuter which only solidifies your choice.
“i’ve only ever wanted you since i came here, katsuki. i feel like we get each other,” inching forward until you’re a breath’s width apart, you tenderly brush a blonde lock away from his pretty face. “i wanna be yours just as much as you wanna be mine.” you add, quietly.
and you don’t care if your next move makes you shady or betrays anyone’s trust — but you came into the villa looking for love and you think you’ve genuinely found it within katsuki. so you lean forward, pressing your lips gently against his and squeak in surprise when bakugou reciprocates almost instantaneously. he cups the back of your head, deepening the kiss and pushing his tongue past the boundaries of your soft lips to tangle with your own.
“your lip gloss tastes like shit.” bakugou pulls away with a grumble, but his face breaks out into a wide and accomplished grin. “c’mere, kiss me again.”
“m’kay,” you tilt your head towards him, your own expression light with laughter, and place your hand over the one that cups your cheek. “i like kissing you.”
“i like kissing you too.”
smiling again, you squish bakugou’s cheeks. “so does this mean you’re picking me at the next re-coupling?”
katsuki nods dumbly, wanting nothing more to pull you into his lap. he knows they’ll be drama tonight, dealing with the last girl, his sleeping arrangements and yours — but he doesn’t care. he just wants to share this moment with you.
“i’ll pick you a thousand times over. at this re-coupling and every single fuckin’ one after.” katsuki reaffirms, knowing that he’s absolutely fucked up and in love.
and that’s enough for you to kiss him all over again.

what they smell like
I was made to spend one hour walking the mall with a friend for him to choose a perfume, so thank his indecisive ass for this. Anyway, here, perfume choice headcanons for the guys, cause smell is a love language if you are weird enough for it.
Mikage Reo
Let's face it, he is ultra rich, got that generational wealth, so he has a library of perfumes and colognes, and all the best hair and skin products, so he smells good all the time. Will vary the perfume according to occasion, season, time of the day, if he is gonna be indoors or outdoors and such. Doesn't try to keep to a type of smell, or specific notes, his brand is more about general vibes. Low key always wearing expensive shit, even though it may smell simple.
I think on his daily life he'd wear something floral and herbal, slightly sweet, like jasmine, lemon grass, some watery notes. Now for perfume itself, for warmer days it'd be something with marine and citric notes, like ambergris and lemon, it gives an ocean freshness that matches the season. And for colder days it'd be something woody, smokey, and a bit sweet, so like oud and vanilla, and maybe some amber to make it warm and deep.
For curiosity, ambergris and oud are some of the most expensive shit you can put in a perfume, so is real jasmine.
Nagi Seishiro
Has whatever Reo buys him, and only uses perfume when he has to. Only reason he doesn't smell like Axe is because Reo got rid of that shit and stockpiled him with better smelling body spray and high quality soap bars. Probably receives Reo's hand me downs, but some smells he considers too strong so he doesn't use.
Likes to smell like water, and my e a bit citric - reminds him of lemon tea. Probably smells like seawater and wood on a daily basis, maaaaybe a bit of mint, he smells like a little ship drifting in the waves, very chill. As for perfume, for sure picks one thing and sticks to it, again water, but now with lemon, and mandarin, and maybe amber underneath, has the slightest kick, but still chill.
Shidou Ryusei
Looks like he wouldn't care, but he does, and smelling just right without giving away that he cares is a conscious effort. Aware enough to have like a winter and summer perfume, but probably sticks to the same cologne all year round, or at most he'll have a second one. He tries to stay on brand with his smell, and it definitely does give off the same vibe as him.
His cologne is probably earthy and spicy, and maybe a bit floral, so like, cinnamon and cloves, and flowers like iris or magnolia. It projects the same fire his personality has but with no way the same intensity. For the perfumes it just takes that basis and ramps it up, for warmer days it's something more earthy and floral, so like spices and iris or carnation, with maybe metallic notes to give it a punch. For colder days he leans more into spicy and woody, with peppers, sandalwood and patchouli, with some leather thrown in there and maybe incense.
Sendo Shuto
He tries very hard, may not have PhD levels of understanding but he understands enough. A little afraid of venturing too much, but probably has two perfumes and a couple of colognes. The colognes probably keep a more low-key vibe while the perfumes venture out just a bit. Overall, likes smelling fresh and clean. Probably stopped relying on deodorants when he noticed Oliver doesn't.
His cologne is like a fresh out of the bath smell, but all day - find you a man who smells clean. So water notes, a bit floral, like jasmine or lavender, and citric like lemon. The perfume doesn't stray too far from that, just variations on a theme. I think they'd all have that rain smell, like ozone, but he'd have a warmer one - which leans more into woods, like oak, and a bit of leather; and a fresher one - which leans into the citric aspect, like grapefruit and mandarin, and maybe a hint of coconut to make it a tiny bit sweet.
Oliver Aiku
Red flag, professional fuckboy. Learned enough to always smell nice, cause he never knows when he might need to shoot his shot. He knows a good smell makes for a nice first impression, leaves a mark on someone's memory and makes them want to be closer to you, so he always makes full effort. Will have multiple colognes and a couple of perfumes, divides them by season and that's enough for him. He does have a specific type of smell he sticks to, and sadly it's all the red flag ones - never trust a guy who wears musk.
His cologne is going to be earthy, warm and welcoming, it smells like sandalwood and oak moss, with something of leather and even notes of water. Now for perfumes he is pulling in the red flag smell: musk. For the warmer days he is going to pull that fresh rain and marine smell, with a bit of spices, like ginger or cardamom, but the leather and musk are still there in the background. Now, for colder days he lays more on the woody and sweet smells, like oak and cedar, as well as honey and vanilla, the leather and musk still hold strong in there too, might have some smokey notes or even whiskey notes too if he wants something extra.

VIVI GLOW UP GUIDE: HAIR
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Invest in your hair, it's the crown you never take off.”
STEP ONE : THE NECESSITIES
- Wet Brush
- Gentle Hair Ties / Claw Clips / Scrunches
- Wide Tooth Comb
- Regular Shampoo
- Clarifying Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Leave in Conditioner
- Hair Mask
- Hair Oil
- Microfiber Towel or Cotton T-Shirt
- Silk Bonnet or Silk Pillow Cases
STEP TWO : HAIR ASSESSMENT
- What type of hair do you have? Oily, dry, or normal
- What is your hair texture ? ( 1a through 4c )
- What state is your hair currently in? Is it breaking, stretching or frizzy?
- Do you have split ends?
- Do you have colored hair?
- Do you use heating tools, take hot showers ?
Use these answers to these for helping picking products, use labels that target your complaints
STEP THREE : CUT THOSE ENDS
You want pretty hair? Cut. Those. Split. Ends. As much as people want to think you can 100% repair split ends with bonding products, you can’t. Split ends will find a way to creep up, and soon your split ends can become split miss and now your hair will not grow. Do this one time in the start of your hair care journey, and then from there on out you can learn how to cut your own split ends with the “no length lost method”.
STEP FOUR : WASH DAY
Find you wash days, it is okay to wash everyday or less with more days in between, as long as your scalp stays clean.
Your wash day should look like this, a coconut based pre-oil treatment to the ends of your hair for 30 minutes prior to getting into the shower. Weekly, take the oil up to the roots and massage in before doing the next steps. When you get in the shower star with a double shampoo cleanse if you skip days in between washes. If you wash your hair everyday only wash it one time (unless you did full hair oil) Lather the shampoo in your hands and start at the nape of your neck working your way up, only focuses on the scalp. Wash thoroughly then add conditioner after squeezing out all access water. Apply onlyto the ends and let it sit, pinning it up with a claw clip to keep the conditioner of your skin to avoid body acne. Rinse out.
Once you get out the shower, gently squeeze hair with microfiber towel and apply your leave in conditioner or oil. Let dry, the best way is mainly air dry with some help from a hair dryer on a cool setting at least 11 inches away from your head. Only after your hair is dry should you brush it.
Before Bed put your hair into a protective lose hair style or silk bonnet.
Once a week, swap your conditioner and pre-oil for a hair mask. I recommend getting your hair wet outside the shower, squeeze the water out, apply the hair mask and then let it sit for 20 minutes prior to getting into the shower.
STEP FIVE : IN BETWEEN WASH CARE
- only brush your hair what you need, don’t do the 100 strokes.
- always use detangler (you can use conditioner in a spray bottle mixed with water)
- Damp the ends of your hair and adds tiny bit of oil, before putting in a protect style.
STEP SIX : STAY INFORMED
- Ingredients are listed from highest concentration to lower, if all the helpful ingredients are the last on this list it’s not the best.
- Don’t fall for gimmicks not approved by dermatologists, such as hair training, keep your scalp clean.
- Don’t think you need only expensive products, despite what hair stylists say, there is very good drug store products that could easily be high end.
- Sulfates, Parabens and silicones are good for most hair, i love them.
STEP 777 : AFFIRMATIONS AND SUBLIMINALS
- Make a subliminal playlist
- Create a vision board for your hair, and maybe a wishlist of some dream products.
- Always use affirmations !!
If I hope you all find this helpful dolls, let me know if you want any requests or more information ⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅ - Vivienne

trafalgar law x reader
word count- 1711
summary- a hot day calls for a cold treat, but your captain gets hot and bothered watching you suck a popsicle
MINORS DNI PLEASE this is SMUT ⚠️‼️
Tumblr media
It’s a hot fucking day. The Polar Tang surfaced hours ago, but the air was barely cooler than the water. With volcanoes both underwater and on the island you float near, the whole crew is miserable. Of course Captain Law had to choose the most dangerous path, not wanting to seem pussy compared to Luffy and Kidd. For a guy who’s usually so level headed, something about the two other captains just riled Law up.
“Hey, Y/N, you wanna grab some popsicles?” Penguin asks. The two of you have kitchen duty together for the week. Prior to getting to this hell island, you bought a huge box of popsicles for the crew to share on a nice day. You hadn’t expected to eat them so early, yet here you are. You and Penguin share a look and race to the big freezer. The crisp, cold air of the chest freezer feels amazing, if only for a moment. The two of you go around the whole ship handing everyone different flavors of the icy treats. You try to knock on the door of your captain’s study, but get a curt ‘I’m busy, be out soon’. Rolling your eyes, you head to the deck where some other crewmates sat. You sit next to Bepo, but make sure to keep at least two feet of distance between you two.
“Bepo, usually I’d cuddle you, but it’s too hot and your fur would only make it worse. I’m sorry,” you tell the polar bear.
“How do you think I feel? I’m dying here!” he whines. You’d long since abandoned your boiler suit. Most of the crew simply had theirs pulled down to their hips, but you opted to forego it completely. A thin cropped tank top and short shorts were all you could be bothered to don. You’re making small talk when you remember that you haven’t opened your popsicle yet. Placing the cold, sweet treat in your mouth felt like sweet salvation. You lick and slurp the coconut flavored delicacy with fervor. The popsicle starts melting a bit, causing sticky white drips to descend your hand. You try to lick it up before it gets everywhere, but that makes it worse on your face. You feel like such a clutz, making a mess all over.
Just then, your captain walks out to the deck. Law looks at all his crew and lets out a slight chuckle. Typically, he’d be upset at the lack of work getting done, but now he’s just glad that everyone has stopped complaining about the heat. His eyes zero in on you practically naked and just about deepthroating a popsicle. How lewd could you be? The sticky white liquid dribbles down your chin and hand.
“Y/N. Meet me in my study,” Law states. With that, he turns back to where he came from. A symphony of ‘ooohs’ is heard from your crewmates.
“Ooooh, Y/N’s in troublllleee,” someone teases. You were known on the crew as the one who gets under the captain’s skin the most. Always talking back to him, being snarky, and just bothering him in general. It was never in a bad way, though. It was… endearing. Law would never admit it out loud, but he appreciated that you messed with him. At times, it reminds him that he’s still young. A tiny bit of silliness never hurt anyone. This, however, was not one of those moments.
You follow Law to his study, unsure of what he could want with you. You make sure to close the door behind yourself because he’s uptight about that type of stuff.
“What’s up, Cap?” you say as you lean against his desk. You finally finish your popsicle and suck the drippings off your fingers. Law towers over you, drinking in the sight. He wipes his thumb across your bottom lip, catching the last bit of coconut. To your surprise, he brings it to his own lips to taste.
“Y’know I put up with a lot from you. Teasing me, talking back to me – I put up with that stuff because you’re a good crewmate. You work hard and you’re reliable. It also helps that you’re the cutest on the ship.”
“Wait huh–”
“I’m not done,” he says, putting a hand to your throat. The pressure is gentle, yet firm. You find yourself melting into his touch. “Today, you not only abandoned your uniform, but you were putting on quite the show while eating your ice pop. Did you like showing the whole ship what a little slut you are? And the worst part is that you didn’t even offer me one. Tsk tsk,” he continues. You feel his breath tickle your ear, sending goosebumps across your flesh. Your nipples perk up at his closeness.
“I tried to knock on your door to give you one. But you said you said you were busy,” you say cheekily. Looking up to meet his gaze, you stick your tongue out at him. Big mistake. Law quickly grabs your tongue with his pointer finger and thumb.
“There’s much better things you can do with this than stick it out at me.” He releases his fingers and you pull your tongue back in your mouth. His big tattooed hand cups your face. You can’t help but nuzzle into it a bit; he’s just so warm. Law presses his thumb against your lips.
“Open.”
Your lips part. With that, his thumb pushes in. The slight chill of the popsicle lingers. As if instinctively, you lightly suck on your captain’s thumb. Law is transfixed by the way the tattooed D disappears and reappears from your lips. He feels his cock get somehow harder than it already was. With his hand back on your throat, he dives in to kiss you. Law kisses so deeply. So intimately. So intentionally. Every nip of his teeth, every flick of his tongue is done with intent. He knows what he’s doing and how he wants you to react.
You’re dripping wet and throbbing, aching for more. Law can tell you’re getting needy so he pulls away. You let out a pathetic whine. In an attempt to get what you want, you try to lean back into him for another intoxicating kiss. The hand around your throat squeezes and holds you back.
“What the helllllll,” you cry. Seeing you look up at him with your big doe eyes almost makes Law want to go easy on you. Almost.
“Little brats don’t get what they want. They get what they deserve. And maybe if you suck me as good as you sucked that popsicle, you might deserve to cum. Is that fair?”
You poke your bottom lip out and mumble, “No, it’s not fair.”
“So you don’t wanna cum? You don’t want me to shove my fingers in your desperate little cunt? Come on, Y/N, be for real.” His gruff voice sends heat throughout your body. The hand that isn’t on your throat starts rubbing your pussy through your shorts. Your breath hitches. You’ve soaked your panties and it’s dampening your shorts now. How embarrassing.
“Law, please! Yes, I wanna cum! I wanna suck your cock, I wanna swallow your cum! I’ll be a good girl for you. Please,” you beg as your eyes begin to water. You’d never been so desperate in your life. Usually, you get exactly what you want when you want it. But Law wasn’t going for that. He knew how to tame a spoiled little girl such as yourself.
“That wasn’t so hard, was it? Now be a good girl and get on your knees,” he commands.
Law takes a seat in his desk chair, removing his cock from his jeans. Kneeling in front of him, you caress his pretty, long cock. His hair is slightly trimmed, leading up to the happy trail that’s exposed by his unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt. His shaft has a little darker of a tan than the rest of him and his tip is the prettiest pink. You start placing kisses up and down his length then one long lick from the base to the tip. He shudders. You make sure to keep eye contact as you start bobbing your head on him. Your captain lets out the most erotic groan you’ve ever heard. His noises encourage you to really start putting in work. You’re taking him as far back as you can; even with your hand supplementing, he’s still so big. Your hand and your mouth work in tandem— hand gripping and twisting, mouth sucking and tongue slurping.
“Fuck!” Law grunts. You never would’ve guessed he was this vocal, yet here he is. He fists his hand in your hair, gripping harshly. You can’t help but moan.
“You’re such a slut,” he pants with a smirk. You keep going, spit bubbling and dripping down his balls. It’s when you start caressing them that sends Law over.
“Shit. Fuck!” Law moans like an absolute whore when he cums. His seed fills your mouth and you swallow every drop with a smile. You open your mouth and stick your tongue out to show him. Law gently grabs your chin, pulling you up to him. He pulls you into a kiss, shoving his tongue in your mouth. He’s sucking your own tongue; it feels like he’s taking your soul with it.
“Sit on my desk and spread your legs. Since you did such a good job, I’ll reward you.” You’ve never moved so fast in your life. As soon as you’re sitting pretty on his desk, Law digs in. He’s eating you like a starved man, lapping up all of your juices. His middle and ring fingers curling up into you, coaxing out even more cream into his hand. You’re a whimpering mess at his disposal. He starts flicking your swollen, sensitive clit with his thick tongue and doesn’t let up.
“Ca-captain waitwaitwait it’s too much!” You’re trembling and grab a fistful of his hair for support. He’s relentless, bullying your poor clit into overstimulation. You don’t last long until you’re cumming on his face. Having an orgasm that big makes you so tired that you can barely lift your head up.
“Thank you Captain,” you mumble just before you close your eyes.

John Doe/ Yb headcanons
- Guess who’s suddenly hyper fixated on these 2 (hint it’s me 😔)
- (Also if you can see the obvious favoritism no you can’t )
- I like thinking Doe and Yb are neighbors and they hate each other and it’s so funny to me
- Realistically Doe could probably kick Peters ass considering he’s an Eldridge god or something but he probably won’t
- Also it’s canon that Doe just goes by whatever gender “you” wants him to be :D so I’m just going to go with he/they because that’s what I want
- I like thinking that Yb has a couple wigs or something because that bald bitch misses his hair from back in High school
- While I don’t think Yb is a clean freak I can definitely think he prefers to keep clean. It half comes from him being a stalker and shit so he’s just use to making sure there is no sign of him being places along with no strong smells on him
- He uses those scentless deodorants and such
- (Side rant I hate those scentless deodorants one there not even scentless and two the point of deodorant is to like mask the smell of your sweat so you doing stink or something like that so literally what is the point of scentless?? It doesn’t even do it’s job that we’ll people who wear it still smell like shit half the time)
:read more:
- It’s half the reason Yb doesn’t like Doe
- Doe (if their in a good mood) might try to explain to Yb that he kinda can’t shower or anything because he’s a clay man and his body would get all fucked up
- Yb probably says something like,” what kind of god can’t even make a proper body??”
- Fighting ensues
- While Doe cannot take a bath or anything in his human form he can in his actual form sense it’s just a floating hair ball with an eye
- But here comes the second problem of he just hates water
- You kinda gotta get “you” to force him to take a bath with them or something
- Doe does not wash his hoodie
- Anything else sure but they will legit not allow that hoodie to be washed
- Doe has (against the will of Peter) met Y/N
- That’s it nothing happened they just know each other
- Yb isn’t as attached to his sweater vest and Doe is to the hoodie but he also hates taking it off to wash it
- He understands he has to and such but he literal hates it
- Yb is literally such a little bitch (derogatory)
- He does that movie shit where you can be like,” can you pass the salt” and he slide it 2 cm towards you
- Someone pls slap him he needs it
- Yb has met “You” (against the will of Doe) and he actually thinks their funny
- “You” in game even when being nice is still kinda stand-offish and Peter thinks that’s funny
- Both Peter and Doe hate it when “You” or Y/N wear makeup just for different reasons
- Doe hates it cause he’s that type of guy that’s like,” But your so beautiful without makeup 🥺”
- Legit someone slap him
- Like bitchslap their ass
- Peter just hates the texture of makeup
- He hates how it feels on skin
- Even if you wear something simple like lipstick he’ll still complain because it sticky or something
- Doe doesn’t like it when “You” take showers or baths
- He likes “your natural scent” and not the artificial scents of soaps and shampoos
- It doesn’t matter if you use scentless, something super expensive and good for your skin, or mens 4 in 1 (it’s for shampoo, body wash, dish wash, and toothpaste 😃(no it’s not a real thing I just made this up)) he hates it
- (Another miny rant I hate those 2 in 1 mens soaps. Why are men like this??? I’m happy your washing your fucking ass but pls.. a little fucking decorum??? Your not less masculine because you use Aveeno or some coconut shit like damn)
- Yb (has some fucking decorum unlike other men 😒) and changes his soap to match whatever natural flower grows where he is at the moment so he kinda just smells natural
- (Men of the world pls take some fucking notes. Like get out a pen and take some notes. I want to hear the ink being put down on paper.)
- I like thinking Yb often forgets that he is bald now so he buys shampoo and then goes to use it and just feels is bald boiled egg ahh head and then starts sobbing in the shower
- Does hair literally has a mind of its own (and sometimes tries to eat shit) so his hair is also tangled and knotted BUT sometimes “You” takes a whole ass day to sit this bitch down to wash his hair
- Doe doesn’t really mind cause 1. “You” is touching him and 2. For some reason getting his hair washed it really stimulating for him so ye good
- Doe doesn’t need to eat and Peter often forgets to eat so neither of them are a good definition of healthy
- Doe canonically doesn’t have organs and sometimes he gets sad about this
- Mainly because one time they saw Y/N leaning on Peter and listening to his heart beat. Another time Doe themself was laying on “You” and heard their heartbeat
- Now he’s just like,” I want a heart beat” mainly cause he wants “You” to cuddle him and listen to his heart beat
- He actually did try to make one ☝️
- It just was really shitty because he didn’t know wtf a human heart looked like
- Eventually he went to Maison and asked if he could get them a heart for reference
- D: Could you get me a human heart for reference?
- M: wtf… why do you need one for reference? I could just give you one and you could use that!
- D: Oh yea! Your so smart :)
- God pls someone stop these inhuman idiots
- It’s also canon that Doe makes organs just to leave them in “You’s” house so yea they probably just left the human heart there in the end
- Peter actually considered doing something like that to Y/N when he heard Doe does it
- Once Y/N found out (probably from “You”) they had to remind Peter that Doe is some weird god thingy and Peter is not
- Peter had considered trying to kill Doe but decided that’s just too much trouble
- Doe has considered the same thing and there is nothing actually stopping them from carrying through with it besides them just being more preoccupied with “You”
- Yb is really embarrassed by high school him
- One time Yb walked in on Doe eating teeth and has not been the same sense
- The only thing Doe and Yb ever bond over is one their love for “You” and Y/N and that they both like baby rats
- Yb used to have one when he was a kid but the rat bit him and Yb’s parents had decided to kill because they didn’t like the rat anyways
- Doe just thinks their cool :D
- Doe has been alone for legit centuries. So 1. He hates being under stimulated and 2. When too much happens he gets overstimulated and then starts to cling on to people he likes
- So basically just “You”
- He needs that perfect balance of stimulation
- “You” has started buying him those stim toys (the ones that are like normal rings or bracelets) for him to mess with
- Sometimes Peter makes fun of Doe because Peter actually went to school unlike Doe
- Then Doe is literally like but I know everything in the actual universe
- They are so petty
I just need some new space
- Doe also likes having some form of human contact no matter who it is
- Peter cannot fucking drive
- Like he has terrible road rage
- Being in a car with him is scary 💀
- Like make sure your buckled up
- Doe on the other hand is scared of cars
- He just doesn’t like the sound they make
- Also the idea of putting his life in the hands of other people who are dumb on the road scares him
🍅🍅
- Peter when he was in High school used to egg peoples houses when he was upset (Peter that shit only happens in the movies get your shit together 🙄)
- Doe usually doesn’t eat anything sweet, not because he doesn’t like it but because if he eats too much his body might start to melt and shit from him being so hyperactive
- He likes gingerbread men for some reason
- Peter has a long tongue pretty sure that’s canon I can’t remember but sometimes you can find him using it to like lick the very bottom of an empty can or something
- You know when you watch children try to absolutely lick the last atom of pudding in a pudding cup or something? Yea that’s Peter
- Yb actually dislikes physical contact and tries to avoid it as much as possible
- One time “You” and Yb joined forces to bathe Doe with something scented
- It didn’t work as planned and long story short Yb is now semi scared to be in Doe’s house
- Peter likes to clean, but is often either to lazy or busy to properly clean up like he would like too
- Both Yb and Doe have phones but neither of them use it that much. Somehow tho they both have like a million cracks in it. Like wtf where you wrestling with the fucking phone??? What happened??
- Doe and Peter get flirted with a lot by those like 13 year olds “e-girls” who call themselves milfs at the mall 💀
- Peter used to have a tongue piercing but he doesn’t wear it anymore because it often got stuck in shit too much
- (I don’t know how else to phrase this head canon besides that one video where it’s like,” you said how I get to it address?? … … Don’t even worry about that bruh!?”)
- Yb has stalked Doe to see what he does throughout the day and why people even like him and found out he either spends his days with “You” or is just not there
- When Doe actually doesn’t have anything to do they just stop being
- Like they go into their unnatural fabric of space where only they (and any other Eldridge being) can resides
- Basically he no clips out of life
- From there they like to watch “You” and maybe sometimes other humans to find out how they act normally
- Other times Doe just wanders around the city just window shopping
- I’m sure Doe has rules and shit on what he can and cannot do and I may or may not write a couple of them down
- Doe can only really do his weird warping shit in areas he controls. Not necessarily just something that really is his but in a place where it’s just naturally either accepted or seen as his
- Yea if the area is considered his he can control it and the stuff in it
- Peter is just one those people who just like don’t get sick
- Like legit bitch could walk outside in -69 degrees in shorts and the next day he is still perfectly fine
- Peter is a dry texter and does not read sarcasm in text
- You can say something sarcastically and he’ll be like,” Noooo Honey what did I do 🥺?? Why are you upset? How can I make it better 🥺🥺???” Like bitch pls I was joking 😭
- At least he immediately tries to make it better!!
- Both Peter and Doe are the type of guys to not argue with “You” and Y/N and just agree with them that their in the wrong even if their not
- They also almost always try to immediately stop the argument
- BITCH PLS I JUST WANT TO ARGUE
- Also the type of people to instead of just listen to you complain about something and sympathy they will actually try to solve the problem you complain about!?
- Like once again.. BITCH PLS I JUST WANT TO COMPLAIN 😭
- I don’t actually want solutions to my problem get with the program
- 🙄
- 😩
- Anyways
- You can legit hide and Doe’s hair
- Like it will grow and shit to surround you and you can hide in it
- Y/N once did this to hide from Peter
- It worked
- One time Yb got mad and went to cut Doe’s hair with scissors as “a prank” and the scissors legit broke against his hair
- The boyfriend was too stunned to speak 😟
- Doe is that kind of person to just knock into every item possible and then be like,” where did I get all these bruises??”
- Peter has jokingly stabbed Doe before and Doe just kinda stood there
- They don’t really feel pain sense they didn’t know humans had nerves that helped them feel pain and therefor did not make any so he doesn’t really feel pain
- Peter has a high metabolism so that skinny bitch could eat a whole kitchen and still weigh like 110 at the most
- Peters favorite class was history. He thinks it’s romantic (no I will not go further into that)
- Meanwhile Doe actually likes science (I will go into detail about this one)
- He finds it funny that humans made up their own numbers and reasons to explain some of the shit they can’t explain
- They found reason where there is non besides a higher being
- (Sidenote I can go off forever about this concept and debate about it on both ends but I will not)
- Doe finds it funny how self centered humans are at times
- Peter is actually a great example of this
- What’s even funnier is Doe themself are another great example of this and if anything further proves why humans have somewhat of a right to be so self centered
- (Once again I could talk about this concept for hours but I won’t so abrupt switch of topic so I don’t keep going)
- Peter is legit such a bad driver
- I know I already said this but I have to say it again, don’t get in a car with this man
- Doe is like a dog, like he sticks his head out the window
- And any other body part at that
- Doe also has like no concept of normality
- Like if their is a problem like they can’t all fit in a car he’ll suggest cutting someone up and putting their pieces in the trunk until they get there
- Peter dead has to remind Doe that THEY ARE NOT ALL FUCKING INHUMAN AND CANT JUST PUT THEMSELVES BACK TOGETHER
- Peter sometimes get upset because he can’t just change his body or anything if Y/N doesn’t like him like Doe can
- Peter just overall gets upset that Doe can simply do more than him
- Peter is the type of person to like walk into your room at like 7 am, open your curtains and be like,” Rise and shine honey!”
- Doe will literally hiss at the sun
- (I’m throwing another character Maison into these because I’ve been simping for him recently too)
- But that’s basically the house guy
- It’s canon that his body is just bait but I like to headcanon it’s more like his tongue
- He doesn’t NEED it to eat his clients but sometimes he wants to taste them
- Yb and Maison actually get along quite well :D
- From a business standpoint anyways
- Meaning when Yb doesn’t like someone sometimes instead of him killing them he’ll fuck up their house and then suggest they go to Maison for a new one
- Usually Maison ends up eating that person
- So it’s a win win for both of them
- Maison actually dislikes the texture of teeth, so he gets little baggies and gifts them to Doe
- It’s only recently he does that tho. He gets more clients now (due to Yb) so he doesn’t have to eat body parts he doesn’t like
- Maison doesn’t know how to drive because he’s never really had to
- Maison is absolutely disgusted by Doe. Like how dirty he is. He gets that his body cannot support water or whatever but he believes then Doe should work harder to find an alternative
- Maison can’t go outside of Uncanny Valley
- Yb used to be in music club back in High-school
- He played both guitar and piano (he also knows how to play the bass but he doesn’t like talking about that one)
- Yb has a love hate relationship with summer. He likes it because it means Y/n is more likely to be outside and he can watch them doing some more stuff but on the same hand it’s hot and he sweats a lot and I already said he hates strong smells. Besides their are now too many people around that might flirt with Y/n or something
- Doe and Maison don’t have that same problem because they can just get rid of their sweat glands or whatever the fuck
- (I forgot why tf people sweat. It’s like an internal cooling system if I remember correctly)
- Btw if you try to explain something body related to Doe be careful. Explain it in depth and as best as you can. For example with the way I just poorly explained why people sweat. Yea if you used that same explanation for Doe he might not get it and then he’ll believe humans have small air conditioners in him.
- “You” look!! I have a cooling system too so now it’s not super hot for you during the summer!!”
- If you get close you can feel the soft cool air of an a/c
- He’s trying his best okay
- Thank them‼️🙄
- Doe really like fluffy things
- Like pancakes
- Both him and Maison like to eat them with marmalades instead of just regular syrup (same it’s so fucking good 😩)
- Maison and Yb only really like actual tea that needs to be like made in a teapot
- I say that to really emphasize this next head canon
- Doe eats that ice tea powder
- Like the Lipton ice tea mix powder. Ye they just eat that shit
- It’s actually any powder
- Like Kraft (🤢) powdered cheese or whatever he eats that too
- Doe is not the strongest in Uncanny Valley as the creator said but he is hard to kill
- I will say he is definitely stronger than Maison
- Not by much but he definitely is
- (A little bit of context for the Maison head canons in one ending of House Hunted Maison is kinda sad to eat “You” because he actually enjoys their company because they weren’t difficult and just does kinda goes with what he says)
- Oh also I’ll change this if I’m wrong but Maison goes by he/him
- Okay, so Maison just naturally likes more “submissive” people (I can’t think of another word for it 😭)
- It’s mainly because he just likes hearing his own fucking voice
- But on the other hand he wouldn’t like someone who is just a follower and agrees with what he’s saying just because
- He wants someone who can hold an intelligent conversation but at the same time will allow him to just go on
- And Jesus Christ this motherfucker will not stop talking if you don’t stop him 🙄
- Legit will stand there and lecture you for hours
- He actually enjoys talking to Peter
- But then it might turn into them insulting each other or some bigger argument
- Mainly cause Maison will say something like,” I mean, if *I* was Y/n I wouldn’t like you cause your not very gentlemanly.”
- Fighting ensues
- Maison (like Doe) made his body (but unlike Doe) it was only to lure people in
- Practical use only, when not trying to eat people he normally just lets that body go limp and instead just lives as the house
- The only time he really uses his body anymore is to lure some buyers into to eat and whenever he wants to spend time with “You”
- It’s only then he (and whoever else) realize that his body doesn’t function at all. Like it can’t smell or physically feel anything. The only think that really works are his eyes and ears (and even those are a bit iffy)
- Unlike Doe he cannot just change his body to do what he wants. He would kind of have to cut his fake body off entirely and then start making a new one, which could take an annoying amount of time
- Besides he already like what he calls,” The perfection that is my body right now.” So he doesn’t really care to make a new one
- If Doe notices that “You” might be spending more time with Maison or something he would get pretty jealous. But unlike any other normal person or even weaker deity in Uncanny Valley he can’t just scare or kill Maison off
- Cue a very pissy Doe
- I’ll probably think of a way later but I can’t imagine how anyone would kill Maison
- Doe is admittedly hard to kill
- Mainly because it’s actually confirmed that his hair can split apart from him in these little hair ball forms and if their just left alone for a while they can start to just grown into another Doe
Okay so this is old. No I will not be writing for YB 1. Just because I personally don’t really care for him and 2. Because I don’t like nor support his creator. I’m just dumping this because I’m just emptying out some drafts and a friend of mine used to really like YB. I will write for John Doe or Maison tho :)

everything shower !
Hi! My name is Kia.. and here’s how to take a proper everything shower, obviously you don’t have to take everything showers to be clean or anything, I personally just like to do them to feel fresh and like a new person!
Now lets begin! An everything shower starts outside the shower, so apply some hair oil, any that you like! For low porosity hair I suggest argon oil or rosemary oil! Now for high porosity hair I suggest coconut oil and castor oil! Make sure to apply it evenly and only to your ends, you can even do a scalp treatment! Personally I like to use glycolic acid on my scalp for build up once a week! Now while that sits for an hour I like to throw my sheets into the washer and clean my room up a bit, or you can workout, or do your homework! ofc you don’t have to do that if you don’t wanna!! Now I’m gonna type out the actual steps to an everything shower!
Step 1: getting into the shower, make sure your water is currently lukewarm, now you're gonna turn off the hot water and quickly turn around and wet your hair, make sure your entire scalp is throughly wet as well as your ends. Now you can turn the water off (we're doing this to save money cuz this routine is over an hour long yay!! lol!) now apply a good size amount of shampoo to your palm, and mix for at least 15 seconds. Now apply it to your scalp, this is our first shampoo out of three, you should massage it in for at least one short song, then turn the water back on and rinse, now you're gonna add a little more shampoo. Rub it into your hands for 15 seconds and evenly apply to your scalp. This time you're gonna shampoo for two songs of your choice. Now repeat that shampoo more time after rinsing. Your scalp should have a squeaky sound after you're done throughly rinsing it out!
Step 2: slightly dry your hair with a towel and apply your hair mask, evenly then detangle!! Now clip your hair up.. and then get your loofah wet it, and apply soap of your choice! Unscented soap btw! And scrub adub everywhere, including.. behind your ears, belly button, FEET!!!! Armpits, your back, privates, legs, arms. Torso, behind your neck, everywhere. Then rinse, now get an exfoliating cloth and a soap for bumpy skin(if you have bumpy skin) and scrub in the same places as the loofah! The exfoliating cloth is optional!!
Step 3: rinse out your hairmask with cold water, then after this slightly dry your hair and apply your conditioner to your ends and clip. Now get an exfoliating scrub and apply it all over except your privates. And when I say all over.. I mean all over. Your back, legs, Arms, armpits, torso, Feet, lower back and hands! Rub it into your skin in a circular motion, Now here’s a pro tip from me! Let your body scrub melt a little on your body and apply shaving cream.. youre basically getting a shaving oil from the melted scrub! Gives the smoothest nicest shave ever! Now to shave be really gentle and careful, glide your razor over your legs/arms not applying a lot of pressure to prevent nicks and razor burn, go over the same spot twice, and go against the growth of hair! And continue that shaving routine wherever you need it! Now that you’re done shaving rinse out your conditioner with cold water and wash your body with a bodywash of your choice! And now.. turn off the water and you’re done with the shower part!
Step 4: clip your hair up after squeezing out excess water,now apply body oil before your skin drys! After that apply your favorite body lotion, and now some perfume and body mist on these key points; Behind your neck, your wrists, neck, behind your ankles and knees. And now get changed! After this do your regular haircare and skincare routine! Andddd.. that’s all!!<33

Lost & Found - Chapter Fifteen.
Because I'm going to be busy and nowhere near a computer tomorrow, I'm sharing the update a day early. It's a bit of a filler chapter, but we do have those on occasion. Enjoy, besties!
Tumblr media
Previous chapters - One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Eleven Twelve Thirteen Fourteen
Words - 3,022
Warnings - 18+ content throughout, Minors DNI. Recounts of kidnap, child trafficking, physical/verbal/sexual abuse.
Food smells. Emma was not used to returning home to find such wafting under her nose. Coconut milk, lemongrass, garlic and cilantro. They usually only ordered in when both were home to choose. Hmm. 
“Hey mister, did you order Thai food?” she called, hanging up her jacket, unclipping Axl from his leash and sliding her sneakers off, walking through to the kitchen. “Where the hell did you find a Thai takeout place in Santo-oh my god, you’re cooking.”  
Guero turned from the stove, placing the lid back on the pot he’d just stirred. “I am.” 
She was stunned. “You’re cooking, and you’re not burning anything!”  
He looked a little coy, his smile spreading as he greeted her with a kiss. “That part remains to be seen.”  
Setting her bag down, she basked in his affection, nails stroking the back of his head. “I'm shocked, this from a man who can't even boil an egg without making it look like it's been fossilised.” Moving to the pot, she removed the lid and inhaled deeply, the aromas making her mouth water. “Jesus fucking Christ, that smells good! Did you have help? Because I cannot believe for one second you followed a recipe without panicking.” 
Picking up his phone, he turned the screen to reveal an emailed explanation. “Lee. She sent me that this morning, instructions included.” 
So, that’s what he’d done with part of his day off, then, Emma reading through, laughing to herself. Lee typed exactly how she talked. “Put the chicken in with PLENTY of oil, but don’t fuckin’ let it start smoking, then keep it moving and wait until it’s GOLDEN BROWN, not fuckin’ cremated before you add the garlic and lemongrass! And for fucks sake, buy microwave rice pouches! My trust in you does not extend that far and I don’t want the damned wailing in my earholes if you end up burning it to the fuckin’ pan. Rice is tricky. Let Ben’s Original do that part for you.” 
“It’s gotta sit for a while now,” he spoke, arms sliding around her waist, mouth going to her neck as she placed his phone back down. “So, I got some ideas on how we can pass the time.”  
She felt herself be lifted, Guero seating her on the edge of the counter, beginning to undo her shorts. “But I’m all gross and sweaty.”  
Her complaint was met by a gruff rumble as he bit her earlobe. “You fucking smell great, as always. Now, shut up. I’m hungry.” He tugged at her cut offs and undies, slipping them down her tanned, slender thighs, her socks yanked free. He fixed her with the kind of stare that had her blood sparking, nuzzling her softly before kissing her with filthy heat.  
“God fucking damn, I love you so much.” His murmur preluded more of those steamy kisses, Emma tangling her fingers in his hair, her hands sliding to his back, pulling him against her. The heat of his skin whipped a tempest over her flesh, goose pimples rising, anticipating whirling.  
He felt it gnaw, his need eating at him with hungry teeth, yanking her closer to the edge of the counter. He pushed her body back a little, hands parting her thighs wide before he buried his mouth between them.  
The intrusion of a hot, wet tongue snaking between her folds had her eyes closing in bliss, hands gripping the edge of the counter, her head falling back with a soft gasp. The hungry suck he took sent sparks gleaming through her, muscles jolting as a soft purr slipped from her mouth.  
He literally growled around a mouthful of her cunt, fingers digging into her thighs. “Shit, you fucking taste amazing, mamas. God, you always get me so fucking hard.” Imagining the rigidity of his cock, coupled with the fast beat of his tongue across her clit had her trickling against his mouth, her arousal tingling her core as she panted, resting her feet up on his back as he ate her thirstily.  
“Mmm, you shouldn’t have mentioned that gorgeous, fat cock getting hard, because now all I can think about it getting wrecked by it,” she purred, her eyes a haze of allure as she stared down at him, the cute, yet sexually charged sight of her biting her lower lip making his insides pool molten.  
He turned his head, biting her inner thigh hard, the action making her gasp, running his tongue in a slow, firm lick over the red marks left behind, his eyes never leaving hers. “Yeah? Baby girl wanna get fucked real hard, does she?”  
Straightening, he yanked off his t shirt, Emma feeding two fingers into his mouth, grasping his jaw and pulling him close to her. “Yeah.” Her fingers slid from between his lips, turning her head to run a slow lick up his cheek, pulling off her vest and bra, all while fixing him with a look of roaring lust. “Now.”  
It acted like someone pouring an entire vat of accelerant upon his fire, but Guero held himself back, arching an eyebrow, shedding himself of his own clothes before shunting his body between her legs. One hand gently curled around her throat, the other grasped his cock, skimming the head through her soaking folds. “This what you want, huh?”  
“Mmm,” she hummed, her tongue flicking against his earlobe, teeth crushing in a soft bite. “So, so badly.” He turned his head, his mouth meeting hers, kisses of fiery honey exchanged as he finally caved and glided inside her. She pulsed around him, sucking him a little deeper, his grunt against her tongue a deep baritone that sent a spark flaring through her, his hand still holding her neck.  
The thick weight of him stretching her walls evoked her soft gasps, letting go of her clutch on the counter, arms wrapping around him, pulling him closer. Her nails slid over his back, a glide of sensual daggers, his grip on her neck releasing to instead grasp her thighs, pulling them wider, the roll of his hips sending him so deep into her she saw stars.  
He laid kisses to her throat, teeth peppering little bites, his groans all smoke and rasp as he pounded her voraciously, the wet slap of him filling the air as he fucked her. It rough and unrelenting, their mouths locked in blazing kisses, lightning striking tiny storms beneath their skin. He rutted her deep, fingers imprinting divots into her thighs, nerves lighting up as he felt her tighten around him, the velvet wet clasp heavenly.  
Lightning leapt up her spine as the hard shunt of his body pressed her clit, her thighs clenching at his narrow waist, her nails dug into his shoulder, the other knotted in his hair as her cries loudened, both chasing the dawn that primed to spill golden over their horizons. When that light finally shone and gilded, their groans reached crescendo, clung onto one another tightly as white-hot pleasure beamed through them, breathless and orgasm drunk.  
“Jesus fucking Christ,” she panted, stroking his face. 
“Yeah,” he breathed, moving to kiss her neck. “I’m amazing, huh?” 
“And so humble in your talents, mister.”  
He laughed, gently sliding from her, hands stroking her thighs as he lifted his chin defiantly. “I’m the fuck of the fucking century, and you know it!”  
With how proficient he was at making her come, she supposed she really couldn’t argue with that. His track record wasn’t every time for no reason. “Well, mister fuck of the century. I’m going to drink a cold beer in a hot bath. If I can walk.”  
Her wobble when she moved off the counter to her feet had him snort laughing, Emma picking up her clothes and taking them to throw in the machine before walking slightly bow legged to the bathroom.  
“Shut up!” she threw over her shoulder, Guero’s laugh filling the kitchen at her unsteadiness. One bath later, and she and Guero were curled up on the couch, eating large bowls of curry, curry that was neither burned or otherwise inedible. Quite the opposite.  
“You can do this more often, now that you know you can,” she commented, washing down a mouthful with a sip of beer.  
“I dunno,” he shrugged, “I had seventeen panic attacks making that, even with her majesties step by step instructions.”  
Speaking of her majesty, as Emma was laughing at his reply, her phone beeped, picking it up to find a text from Lee.  
‘Bish and I are going bowling, and I need other people there to distract from how fuckin’ much I suck! Come with? We’ll be there at eight. PLEASE!’ 
Putting the idea to Guero, she was met by noises of protest. “Hmm, nah. I’ve kinda gone full potato mode and I wanna stay that way. About the most energetic thing I’m planning on doing is piledriving you into the couch once I’ve digested.”  
Although that offer was tempting, Emma had been seduced now by the idea of an outing. “Oh, come on! Please? I haven’t bowled since I was a kid, and you’ll get to laugh at how abysmal I’ll likely be.” His face remained unchanged. “Please, honey, please, please?” Her gentle shaking of his arm coupled with her hopeful eyes finally got through, Guero smiling. 
“Fine, tell her we’ll be there.” He had a hard time saying no to her, knowing that of course she’d come from a life where she’d never been able to have anything her way. Her getting her own way couldn’t hurt either, he figured, Emma giving him a big kiss before jumping off the couch to go and get ready.  
An hour and a half later, donned in very bad shoes and drinking awful bowling alley beer, and Emma was showing that although after many years of absence, bowling was something she wasn’t too bad at. Lee, however... 
“Baby, aim central. Curve your arm,” Bishop advised, Lee chewing the inside of her cheek as she concentrated. She took her aim, the green ball leaving her hand and hurtling down the alley... straight into the gutter.  
She turned, her eyes fixing upon her husband, who to his credit did try not to look so thoroughly entertained. “It’s a damned good job I think you’re fuckin’ cute, Obispo Losa.”  
“What?” he laughed, shrugging as she sat back down with a huff. “I didn’t say a word.”  
Her eyes narrowed in an instant. “I see you, looking at me with that tone of voice.” 
He began to laugh immediately, transported back to many memories revolving around their time in the military together, and the one man she’d taken that very expression from. “You sound like Delaney, shit.” Guero and Emma looked blank, Bishop quickly taking his turn before coming back to explain. “Delaney was Luke Delaney, our commanding officer, and this guy was a fucking trip, I swear.” 
“He could be scary, that’s a given, but mostly he was just fucking funny as hell,” he continued, side eyeing Lee as his laughter grew. “One time, Lee didn't put everything required into her pack before we went out on training exercise, so Delaney punished her by finding this big assed rock that weighed roughly the equivalent of what she hadn’t brought and told her she would march with it. So of course, Lee being Lee, as soon as she got out on the march and around the first corner out of his sight, she put it down.” 
“Then he comes up to her afterward, right, and he fucking demanded to know where the rock was. She said, and I fucking quote, “Sir I lost your rock, sir! Couldn’t find another that big, sir, so sought a replacement, sir!” so then reached into her pocket and pulled out a fucking pebble the size of a goddamned grape!  
“We’re all trying not to laugh as she places it into his hand, Delaney is hanging onto it by the skin of his fucking teeth, and he fucking, he fucking just shakes his head, pulls a pen from his pocket and demands she sign her name on the stone. It stayed on his desk for the rest of his time there at the base because he knew he’d laugh at her audacity every time he saw it.” 
“That ain’t as funny as what he fuckin’ made you do a few weeks later in the mess hall,” Lee began, snickering immediately as Bish closed his eyes, reliving the mortifying memory. “This guy in our platoon, Ellis Bundy, there’s always one, ‘the guy’ as they’re known, and he didn’t follow Delaney’s orders to the letter, so he fuckin’ made him stand on the table and wave his arms while reciting the line “I’m a shit bird” over and fuckin’ over until told otherwise.  
“So Bish is fuckin’ killing himself laughing at him, cracking up, absolutely howling. Delaney spies it and roars, “Losa! On the table!” upon which he had to flap his arms and say “I’m a mocking shit bird” until he told him to get down! Inside, I was fuckin’ cry laughing at him, oh god!” 
“Ellis Bundy!” Bishop exclaimed, shaking his head. “That fool set off a goddamned live round in a tank one time, fucking deafened everybody in there, the fucking stupid cunt. Christ, he was a living shit show!” 
Hearing the stories of their miliary days warmed Emma, thinking it so lovely they had such a long history with one another. Friends for over twenty years, but as she’d learned from Lee herself, only married for eight after reconnecting many years after leaving the military.  
It was a beautiful thing, watching how in tune with one another they were, the party of four moving to the bar after their game, which Guero had won, and Lee and Emma had come in joint last place. Seeing a healthy marriage was something she wasn’t used to for the most part, of course only witnessing the awful abuse Marie had endured throughout her time captive within her home.  
Rocco’s hands had never reached for her with the same love that Bishop’s did to Lee, stroking her neck idly as she rested her head on his shoulder, listening to Guero tell her of his triumph following her Thai green curry recipe, little panic attacks aside.  
“Well, you ain’t ever gonna be as badass as Emma is in the kitchen, but there you are, you can do one thing at least now other than ignite chaos,” she commented, sipping her beer. “I swear, sugar. That fuckin’ thing you made with the bacon pieces, oh my god!” 
Emma thought back over her lunches made from leftovers she’d taken in recently, a box for Lee too unless it was a Friday, when the pair treated themselves to a delivery of burgers and fries. “The Bucatini all'Amatriciana?” 
“Yep! That's it!” Lee enthused, pointing across the table at her. “That one nearly made me get down on one knee and fuckin’ propose!” 
“And where would that have left me, sweetheart?” Bishop asked, entertained. 
“The spare room.” His wife’s statement roused a lot of laughter, Bishop furthering it. 
“Oh, great,” he rumbled, “you take a wife and I ain’t even allowed to watch. Fuck my life.” 
“Do I get to?” Guero asked, raising an eyebrow, Lee not answering for the excitement that followed after reading an alert on her phone.  
“Oh, baby look, they got last minute tickets for the midnight showing of The Exorcist at that little movie theatre just outside of town!”  
“Yeah? Get ‘em booked, we’re going,” Bishop nodded, Lee beginning to do exactly that. It had sold out prior to them deciding if they wanted to go or not, Lee putting her name down for email notifications should any cancellations arise. “Okay, there’s seven left. You guys wanna come with? I’ll get the tickets, y’all get the snacks.” 
Emma’s face lit up immediately. “Yes!” She then checked herself, turning to Guero. “Can we?” 
“Mmm, kinda wanted to call it a night after here. I’m tired,” he replied, his enthusiasm definitely not on par with that of his girlfriend.  
“Come on! You can sleep when you’re dead! Please, please, please?”  
He thought for a few minutes, Emma badgering at him some more before he finally relented. It might have been innocuous to anyone else, but Lee noticed it, just as she’d picked up on it in the past, too. Guero had a hard time telling Emma no and pretty much always caved to her wishes. With anyone else in his life, he’d have absolutely no problem with making his feelings known. A soft alarm sounded in her head, but she didn’t pay it further mind. 
Just over two hours later and they were sat in the packed out, independent movie theatre furnished with snacks and drinks, the iconic opening of the classic horror movie beginning to play, Guero wishing he had a coffee the size of the soda he held in order to stay awake. Halfway through the film, he found enough incentive, Emma repeatedly jumping out of her skin.  
“I swear,” he whispered, leaning close to her ear, his grin wide. “Watching you fucking crap your pants every five minutes is worth not being asleep for.”  
She nudged him with a soft elbow, offering him a kiss he happily granted her. It was close to 3am by the time they arrived home, Guero happy to faceplant the bed, glad outlaw hours meant he didn’t have to show his face until around 11am the following morning. As it turned out, though, Emma had other ideas.  
“Where are you off to, baby girl?” he asked, Emma kissing her way down his torso.  
“To say thank you for tonight in a way I think you might enjoy.” Might enjoy? Now, there was an understatement, Guero smirking to himself, feeling his cock swelling with anticipation. 
When her lips wrapped around his hardness, it was definitely the derailing of his original plans he preferred most that night. Sleep could always wait to be on the receiving end of the best blowjobs he’d ever received in his entire life.

Recently got capsaicin oil on my lips and nose while cooking with jalapeños and it was a terrible experience. I did ultimately find a way to stop the burning but not until I had tried almost every solution the internet had to offer. So I thought I’d share my knowledge with you all so that when/if it happens to you, you know what works.
Disclaimer: your experience may differ from mine depending on your own body chemistry, how much you got on you, and where on your body you got it
Additional info: make sure that if you got it on your hands then wiped your face (as I did) that you use these solutions on your hands as well so you don’t just irritate your face all over again in your efforts to clean it. The oil also stayed under my nails longer than on my skin so clipping your nails short is the way to go.
Possible solutions:
Cold water: works, but the relief from burning is very temporary. Maybe a second or two from first contact with cold water but then back to burning
Soap and water: decent, as you do want to use a substance with fats or oils because capsaicin oil is fat soluble. However, the amount of washing required would take a lot of time with not much relief in between.
Olive oil: the right type of substance but like cold water the relief is temporary
Ice: will numb the burn to an extent. Is also temporary but will last longer than cold water. However, it will do nothing to actually fix the issue, just alleviate the sensation
Milk: somewhat effective. Most effective if you get the oil in your mouth and you drink it, less useful for outer skin contact
Fan blowing air: genuinely a good call. Like the ice it will alleviate the sensation while not fixing the problem but it is a good way to get your concentration back while you try to fix the problem. I used a fan with a spritz function so I could put water on my face then cool it down, gave me a lot of relief
Coconut milk conditioner: while the recommendation is technically to use coconut oil, this is all I had on hand. Pretty much the same as the olive oil. The substance itself is maybe a little more cooling but a huge waste of money for not a lot of relief
Face wash: no relief and no lessening of the issue, not worth the effort.
Aloe: also genuinely a good call. Cools pretty well and when I used it in conjunction with the fan the relief was particularly good. Also the kind of substance you want to be using to dissolve the oil.
Tomato sauce: believe it or not, this is the solution that actually worked. Tomato sauce. I was standing in my bathroom rubbing pasta sauce onto my face then washing it off and repeating. And it worked. What could have lasted 24 hours disappeared completely along with the redness and irritation in maybe two hours. Wouldn’t say it’s a miracle cure, but pretty close. Relief is not immediate during the washing process but you have to keep at it.
I also tried ice cream which may have worked but I tried it after the tomato sauce had already done its job so I can’t really attest to the effectiveness. The internet solutions I didn’t try were submerging my face in a bowl of milk (seemed weird, I’m not a cat, would suck to drown in milk) and vinegar (which just sounds like a bad idea I mean isn’t it slightly acidic?).
Ok I’m done but I hope this helps someone else. The burning wasn’t incapacitating in that I couldn’t breathe or stand up but I was definitely unable to continue the task I was doing when contact happened.

The Villain | Choso Kamo
 ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
‧₊˚✧[chapter 8]✧˚₊‧     
 ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
Mazikeen and Choso both fully undressed before getting into the shower. The water was boiling it felt. The steam from the water clouded the air and the mirror.
"Agh! Damn Mazikeen this water is fucking hot!" He jumped as the water touched his skin. It felt like lava compared to what he was used to.
Mazikeen rolled her eyes and giggled. She turned the temperature down, but before she could turn back around to the man, he grabbed her waist and pulled her close.
"What are you doing..?" She asked quite confused.
He leaned his head on the crook of her neck and sighed loudly. "I don't want you seeing me while I'm soft..." His tone was oddly sheepish.
Mazikeen shook her head and she pulled away from him. She turned around to face him and raised her brow.
"I'm not gonna look..." She said through a giggle.
Choso rolled his eyes and reached for a black loofa. Mazikeen looked around his shower and paused. She tilted her head and squinted her eyes.
"Is that your body wash?" Her tone clearly confused again. Choso looked at the bottle and narrowed his eyes. "Yea? Why?" He said defensively.
Mazikeen shook her head and shrugged her shoulders. "Didn't think you'd be the type to like coconut and coffee exfoliating body wash." She said as she read the name on the brown bottle.
His lips formed into a thin line and he stared at the girl.
"It smells good..."
She giggled at him and picked up the bottle. Assuming Choso was going to wash his body with the sponge in his hand. He shot her a smile and poured some of the soap onto his black sponge.
He began washing his body thoroughly and bit his lip. 'Should I try and wash her body?' He had never showered with someone before so he didn't know what to do. He was embarrassed of his soft member, but the girl in-front of him made him forget everything.
Choso began scrubbing Mazikeen with the sponge. She smiled at him softly and squinted her eyes. It made Choso's heart pound. "Pretty girl..." He mumbled.
Mazikeen's face grew red at the compliment. She just had amazing sex with this man and now he's a completely different person. She's only met him twice and he's being oddly affectionate.
She pushed away his hand that was washing her and giggled, "Okay that's enough for now." Choso smiled back at her. ____________
Choso stared at her and couldn't help but smile. "You look cute in my clothes."
Mazikeen smiled and turned her head away from him, clearly blushing. Choso had given her a pair of black plaid boxers and a large band t-shirt. She complained he made her ruin her only underwear so she was forced to wear his.
He got under the covers and lifted the other side, tapping the mattress beside him. "Come on princess." He said softly.
Mazikeen walked over to her side of the bed and got under the covers quickly, as it was cold in his room. She laid on her side and looked at him. Choso had grabbed his tv remote and was looking through movies. Unaware she was staring.
He finally turned to her to ask what movie she wanted to watch. His face red, "What?" He demanded. She rolled her eyes and shot him a soft smile. "Nothing you're just really hot."
Choso smirked softly at the compliment. He turned on a random movie and laid on his side, facing her. "Come here." His arm lifted so she could scoot closer to him. She sat up and moved closer to his body. He was wearing nothing but underwear and his muscular body caught her attention.
He lifted her chin softly, "Stop staring." She narrowed her eyes at him and scoffed. "Why? Other girls stare at you all the time, why can't I?"
"Because I said so." He said mockingly. "Can I see your phone?" Mazikeen raised an eyebrow and reached for her phone. She handed it to him with it unlocked.
"Why?" She huffed. Choso grabbed her phone and went on her social media. He pulled her close to his body and took a picture of her buried in his chest. His face was just barely out of the picture, but out of it enough to where you couldn't tell who it was. He posted the picture and handed her phone back.
"What did you do?" She whined and grabbed her phone quickly. "Choso! Why did you post that?" Her mouth wide open.
"To show all your little hoes that you're mine." He growled. Mazikeen shot him a confused look and smirked.
"Oh yea?" She questioned him. Choso nodded and grabbed her phone from her once again. He turned it off and threw it on the bed beside them. His arms wrapped around her.
Mazikeen pushed his arms off and turned over in the bed, "Sorry spooning is more comfortable for me." She strained. Hoping not to offend him.
Choso narrowed his eyes and pulled her close. Her back was against his chest, her ass was against his dick, and her legs were intertwined with his. Choso had lifted her shirt up so that his torso could be skin to skin with her back.
"Who else do you cuddle with?" His voice had a hint of jealousy in it.
She giggled at his remark, "I dunno it's been a while." Choso held her tighter and slipped a hand up her shirt to touch her abdomen.
"It doesn't matter I'm here with you right now, aren't I?" She let out a fake sigh. Choso growled and buried his face into the back of her neck.
"Like I said princess. I'm claiming you." His voice was low, it made her shiver. Was he being serious? Or was this a one night stand...?
Mazikeen scoffed, "I couldn't imagine you settling down with a girl you just met. Plus I know you get around."
Choso was offended. He did use girls before he met Mazikeen. She wasn't wrong, but he stopped talking to everybody once he found her.
"No I don't. You're everything I want and need." He sighed.
Mazikeen was a bit shocked. He was attractive, slutty, and seemed to have a kind heart. It blew her mind that he was saying all these things.
"Mmmm maybe we could settle down. Let's get some sleep though..." She trailed off. It was now around 3 in the morning. She was exhausted.
Choso nodded into her neck. He pulled away from her and propped himself up. He grabbed his phone and set an alarm for sunrise. Then he laid back down and put his arm back around her waist.
"Good night princess." He mumbled. Mazikeen was passed out. She usually had trouble sleeping but she knew she was safe with the man. Shortly after, he fell asleep as well.
As the sun started to rise Choso's alarm went off. Mazikeen was the only one to wake up to the alarm, she felt his presence gone. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, "Choso?" She called out for him.
She reached for his phone and turned it off. Her body ached from the events of last night, no amount of stretching right now would ease her soreness. She got up from the bed and checked her phone. He left a sticky note under her phone that read 'Come to the kitchen when you wake up.'
She yawned and began walking to the kitchen. Choso had been awake for some time, he got them breakfast, some pain meds for a hangover, and a plan b.
Choso greeted her with a soft smirk. "Looks like someone is finally awake."
Mazikeen looked at him with tired eyes and yawned again. "I never get up early. Do you always do this?" She whined.
He chuckled and grabbed her emergency contraception from a grocery bag, and sat it down on the counter next to her breakfast. "Not usually but I didn't know when you had to go home. I got you some food and a plan b." He smiled. He looked back at the grocery bag and pulled out some Tylenol. "Oh some medicine if you have a hangover too."
Mazikeen giggled a bit and shook her head. "That's sweet of you. I don't usually get hangovers though." Wrong. Choso knew she was lying too, he was stalking her the morning after his party. She wanted to seem all big and bad. This morning she didn't get a hangover surprisingly.
She came over to the counter and sat down at the bar. "Mhm I'm sure you don't. Take this." He said as he pointed to the plan b. "I don't want any fuck trophies right now." Mazikeen furrowed her brows and burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry fuck trophies?" She said through giggles.
Choso tilted his head and nodded softly. "Yea princess. Eat up. If you don't have anywhere to be I'm taking you into the city."
She began to eat her food slowly. Confused about why he wanted to take her into the city. "Why..?" She said through bites, covering her mouth to seem ladylike.
"Don't worry about it." He huffed out. He just wanted to take her to get some new clothes that didn't show off her body. She was his woman. His princess.
____________
They were in a giant shopping mall. One Mazikeen frequented. She loved to shop and spend her money, but Choso had been paying for everything. She felt bad he was but she couldn't complain.
They entered a higher end brand store. The clothing was beautiful, she had picked a few things to try on and Choso looked around as well. Trying to find suitable date night clothes for her. He would eventually ask her on a date.
She only deserved the best from him. He also had a suspicious amount of money to spoil her with. Even if she wasn't his just yet.
Mazikeen sorted through some clothes near the back of the store. She was too entangled in finding the perfect outfit she didn't notice a man nearby. He was staring at her hard.
Before the mall, Choso took her home and let her change before they went shopping. She was wearing a white tennis skirt and a sage green crop top. She looked rather casual but still attractive.
The man walked up to her and shot her a cocky smile. "Hello darling. What's your name?" She looked up and raised an eyebrow. She looked around for Choso but he was nowhere to be found.
"Mazikeen." She said rolling her eyes. "What's a pretty girl like you doing here by yourself?" He reached for her hand and brought it to his lips to kiss it. Mazikeen, immediately grossed out, ripped her hand from his grasp.
"Don't touch me." She growled. The man stepped closer to her and was basically breathing down her neck. Mazikeen pushed him away and stepped back. She backed up into something. Or more like someone.
Choso grabbed her waist and shot the man a glare. "Is he bothering you princess?" He mumbled. Not leaving his eyes from the gross excuse of a man.
"Yea. He is." She grabbed his hand and gripped it tight. She was grossed out, frightened, and angry. Who did he think he was?!
The man scoffed at Choso. They were around the same height but the other man was more stout. Choso would not back down. He knew later that night he'd mark and track him down. He'd kill him for messing with his girl.
"That little bitch isn't worth it anyway." The man said repulsively. He chuckled and shook his head. "See you around Mazikeen." He smirked and turned to walk away.
Choso's heart pounded with anger. He softly moved the girl out of his way and grabbed the man's shoulder. He turned him back around. "Who do you think you are?"
The man growled at Choso. "You think you're bulletproof son?" He said as he raised his dress shirt. It revealed a concealed handgun. Choso smirked.
He pushed the man away, marking his shoulder before laughing. "Get out of here." The man rolled his eyes and walked out of the store.
Mazikeen stood there. Eyes wide and heart pounding fast. "Are you alright princess?" Choso asked as he grabbed her hand. She nodded. If she was alone surely that man would have killed her.
She hugged Choso's arm tightly and looked up at him. "Can you get me a changing room?" She mumbled. Choso leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Anything for you." He smiled.
Choso grabbed her hand and walked up to an employee. "Can we get her a changing room sweetheart?" He gave her a soft smile. Mazikeen shot her eyes up to him and narrowed her eyes.
She let go of his hand and followed the employee. Choso was a bit confused but followed behind them. The worker smiled at her and opened a private changing room for her. "If you need anything just let me know!" She said before walking away.
Mazikeen turned around and glared at Choso. He tilted his head and opened his mouth to speak. Mazikeen cut him off. "Sweetheart?" She mumbled.
He widened his eyes. "O-Oh." He mumbled. He was just trying to be polite. Mazikeen rolled her eyes and turned to close the door to the changing room. Choso held the door open and walked inside.
He locked the door and sat down in the chair in the corner of the room. She looked at him and frowned. "Why are you in here?" She huffed.
Choso sat up in the chair and manspread himself. He placed a hand over his crotch and another holding his head up. "I want to watch you try on stuff this time." He smiled softly.
Mazikeen closed her eyes and exhaled loudly. Clearly displeased with him. "Whatever." She knew she couldn't stay mad at him because he was paying for everything but she felt jealous.
She bent over in front of him to take her shoes off. Choso watched her intently. His palm now covering his mouth. Her ass was on perfect display for him. He made a soft grunting noise and she looked up. Glaring at him from the mirror.
"Are you serious." She furrowed her brows and stood back up. Choso grinned a bit before adjusting his growing problem in his pants.
She took off her skirt and her shirt and threw them at the man. He caught them and covered his erection with her skirt. Taking her shirt in his hand and taking in her scent.
"Fuck..." He groaned. "You smell so good."
She reached for a beautiful skin tight black dress and began to put it on. It was a backless dress, the neckline had folded fabric looking like a v shape, and it was almost touched the floor. It was truly an elegant dress.
Choso stared at her. The way the dress hugged her body made him weak. She turned around to face him and stared blankly.
"What do you think?" She mumbled. Choso stood from his seat and took her in his arms. Holding the small of her back with one arm. "I think you look stunning." He glared at her, his eyes were full of lust and admiration.
She blushed and pushed him away. "Thanks." She turned back around to face the mirror. Choso was towering over her, he looked her up and down from the mirror in awe.
He came closer to her and bent his head down to the crook of her neck. His lips placed a kiss softly on her. His breath was hot and raspy, he knew she was upset with him but her being mad only made him want her more.
"Take a picture." He growled. Mazikeen rolled her eyes and bent down to the side table to grab her phone. She pulled up a social media app and took a picture. She covered his face with a heart and posted it. She had guys and girls blowing up her phone from the picture last night.
He smirked and placed another kiss on her neck. "Good girl." Mazikeen wanted to melt into him at the pet name, but he called another girl a pet name. She had no idea why jealously boiled in her blood at the moment.
He snaked a hand around her waist and another on her throat. Watching her reaction in the mirror. She was flustered and looked away, but he grabbed her chin and lifted it. Forcing her to look at the way he was man handling her.
"I'm mad at you. I'm not going to bend over for you right now." She crossed her arms and diverted her eyes to the ground. Choso chuckled at her statement. "I don't expect you to princess."
Mazikeen growled at him. She was pissed now. "I told you, you fuck around."
Choso furrowed his brows and leaned down to kiss her head. "Princess. I'm all yours. We're going on a date soon." He smirked.
She sighed softly and leaned into him. "What if I don't want to?"
Choso shook his head and clicked his tongue. "Really? Because I could've sworn you wanted to the way you were moaning my name last night."
Mazikeen widened her eyes and her face became flushed. She stared at him with embarrassment. "Choso! Shut up!" She whined.
His hand moved to her lower back and pushed her over, she looked up and him and blinked slowly. "What are you doing?" She mumbled.
He grinned at her and took hold off her hips. Pushing himself into her ass roughly. She let out a soft moan and immediately covered her mouth.
"I had you just like this moaning my name, everyone probably heard you basically screaming my name." His voice cocky. He definitely wasn't wrong.
Mazikeen bit the inside of her lip and looked at him in the mirror. He was incredibly sexy. He was also teasing her.
Choso thrusted his crotch against her ass a few times before pulling her upright. He spun her around and glared down at her.
"I suggest you behave or I'll have you on your knees, princess." He whispered into her ear. She nodded and stood on her toes, she brought her lips close to his and looked up at him.
"What if I want you to put me on my knees?" She whined.
Choso pushed his hair back and sighed. "I might have to when we leave." He pushed his lips into hers and groaned softly. His muscular hand traveled to her ass and grabbed a handful of it. She jumped a bit at the sensation and melted into him.
She pulled away from him and smiled softly. "Can we go then?" He chuckled and nodded. "Anything you want princess."

How To Dilute Essential Oils
Be ready for a long one. Essential oils can be tricky. And they are something you don't want to be using undiluted for the hell of it or because an article you read claims it's more potent if you, ya know, put it directly on (yikes, don't fall for that!). I got certified in aromatherapy five(ish) years ago for the hell of it & to help my business for in-person clientele. While I don't use it as much as I used to, I did learn all the proper dilution techniques that I thought I would share here!
Before I dive into this breakdown, know that it is in your best interest to dilute any essential oil. While lavender doesn't cause a reaction out of most people, it is still in a highly concentrated form. There are many oils, such as cinnamon, that you should never put on your skin without diluting first, as it will cause irritation. It falls into a category of "hot oils" which means that you will feel a tingle or burning sensation, depending on your skin type. Tea tree and lavender are the only two you can use undiluted (and if you have sensitive skin, you may still want to dilute to be on the safe side) - for anything else, you should be grabbing your carrier oil.
Do not replace the carrier oil with water. You remember that you learned somewhere growing up that water and oil do not mix? Yep, same rule applies. They will separate and the oil will still go directly into your skin.
That being said, carrier oils that have nourishing properties for the skin tend to be best. Jojoba, coconut, almond, hell even olive oil all work. The essential oil sticks with the fats in the carrier oil and will slowly absorb into your skin (via the fat in your skin). All of this prevents skin irritation. You can buy these in bulk for a discounted price if you find yourself using essential oils on a regular basis to save on money.
Carrier Oil Breakdown
• Jojoba - usually a favorite of many people that use essential oils in their skincare products. Odorless, non-greasy, a little waxy.
• Coconut - light, doesn't go rancid or leave residue, good for every skin type! You can also use it in a wide range of product types.
• Grape seed - mostly odorless. Best for delicate skin (sensitive skin, for the elderly, etc.)
• Olive oil - heavy & can be greasy, so buy the light stuff. Has strong odor. High in vitamins and minerals, very good for your hair and skin! Be aware though that it will leave some residue until fully soaked in & can clog pores. Personally, I use this a lot for my anointing oils or salves.
• Almond - slightly oily. Best for dry or irritated skin. Beauty & health recipes.
So, some quick pointers.
• Firstly, best way to remember it is it is 1 drop of essential oil per 1 tsp of carrier oil.
• 1% is recommended for children, the elderly, and immunocompromised. 2% dilution for a healthy adult. 3% for short term, small areas (if you're washing it off right away or sometimes in the situations of pain relief).
• Make sure you are diluting if using for hair care.
• Make sure you are diluting if adding into the bath. Remember, oil separates from water. Put the diluted mix in.
• Also, if you're trying to mix essential oils, go ahead and do so. Just make sure that it equals out the entire drop rate (if it were 6 drops, for example, it's be 3 drops of lavender oil and 3 drops of rosemary).
• This is where I'll answer the whole, well what the hell would you use 10% or 25% dilution for? You can use 10% for specific issues, such as an injury. Don't keep at it for more than two weeks. For 25% is the most you should ever go, and that would be for debilitating pain. Don't be using that every day though, and not every type of essential oil is good for that high or concentration.
Now, here's a little conversion list. Hopefully it's clear enough!
• Okay I know that I have followers on both sides of the globe so here's this: 5ml = 1 tsp. 10ml = 2 tsp. 15ml = 1/2 oz. 30ml = 1 oz. Do with that what you will. I am american but I'll be using millimeters to explain since I, too, find it easier.
• For 0.5% dilution: 10ml = 1 drop. 15ml = 1.5 drops. 30ml = 3 drops. You can't do 5ml for 0.5%.
• For 1% dilution: 5ml = 1 drop. 10ml = 2 drops. 15ml = 3 drops. 30ml = 6 drops.
• For 2% dilution: 5ml = 2 drops. 10ml = 4 drops. 15ml = 6 drops. 30ml = 12 drops.
• For 3% dilution: 5ml = 3 drops. 10ml = 6 drops. 15ml = 9 drops. 30ml = 18 drops.
• For 10% dilution: 5ml = 10 drops. 10ml = 20 drops. 15ml = 30 drops. 30ml = 60 drops.
• For 25% dilution: 5ml = 25 drops. 10ml = 50 drops. 15 ml = 75 drops. 30ml = 150ml.
This is where I will mention: children, the elderly, and those that have chronic skin conditions will oftentimes need different dilution rates than the generically given 1%. If you someone that fall into this category, it is in your best interest to speak to your doctor first. Find someone certified that can help you with finding the proper dilution rates, as you may need further adjustments, don't just use these guidelines.
I don't offer clients aromatherapy-only packages anymore (as it worked better in combination). When I was offering that service, I kept it strictly in-person for a reason!

LoZ: TotK - Sky Island Fruit
I wonder what Fire Fruit, Ice Fruit, Dazzle Fruit, & Splash Fruit taste like.
I'm pretty sure we all know that Shock Fruit tastes like lemon. No, Starry or Ghost Citrus! And I think it'd tingle on the tongue like pop rocks, but what about the rest?
For the sake of worldbuilding, I need to figure this out.
Guaranteed, Splash Fruit is juicy af. Like, watermelon juicy. Maybe it tastes like a combination of apples soaked in white grape juice & white grapes soaked in lemon juice. It's the relative shape & color of a calabash, so it has a slightly bitter edge to it & a scent of squash & coconut water.
Fire Fruit are inspired by uchuva, Chinese lantern fruits, a/o cape gooseberries, so they'd likely taste like them too. So, sweet, yet tart & tangy when ripe, but sour when not. Possibly has a flavor profile a bit like spiced mandarin oranges, tomatoes, & cherries. The fruit has a similar texture to a cherry tomato. I do also think that if you were to remove the lattice leaf protecting the fruit inside & tear the actual fruit open, the juice that'd spill out would be on fire. Just liquid fire or napalm, but edible. I remember in the Wrinkle in Time movie that Disney did (the 2004 one, not the remake), Mrs. Whatsit pries open a fig-looking fruit (I think) to spill its contents on a bundle of wood, the juice was on fire, which starts the wood on fire. That's sort of what I think it'd be like. The juice would also sizzle on your tongue but wouldn't burn. Instead, it's pleasantly hot. Not warm, hot. Like a hot bath or a hearth.
Ice Fruit, I just learned, might be in some way inspired by the ice apple. Which, the heck?? Why am I only just learning about this mess??? But whatever; they'd likely take cues from that. So, Ice Fruit would actually be legitimately transparent to a degree. Known to be mildly sweet, often compared to the flavor of coconut. Their flesh has been described as jelly-like in consistency & biting into the center results in a burst of sugary-sweet juice. - Beyond that, I'd make them actually cold & refreshing, they are mildly sweet & per a really good suggestion I got, they'd taste like champaign grapes, but also a little bit like white grapes with a hint of Palm Fruit (as noted above). Their flesh would be gelatinous with a thin skin like a frost bubble (think a dry ice bubble used in mixology). And, because I wanna insert a tiny bit of wonder into this, you can literally do that breathing frost thing that you can do when it's really cold, but at any time of year or temperature every time you take a sip. Kids & grown-up children (gestures to oneself) would most likely love them. - Also, evidently, if you get a cooler, put any sort of small fruit inside with some dry ice for 20 minutes, then the dry ice sublimates, the fruit absorbs it, & you'll get a type of carbonated frozen fruit! I'm thinking to find one that I can use to add onto the flavor profile of the Ice Fruit. It just seems like too "cool" of an idea to pass up. Problem is, I'm not quite sure what kind of words to use to describe it in a more "scientific" way yet.
For a bit more information on these IRL ice apples (Borassus flabellifer), it's a tropical fruit that grows on sugar palm trees in India. The ice apple is also known as Tadgola in Marathi & Hindi, & Nungu in Tamil. They are found inside a coconut-like fruit that grows on sugar palm trees & acts as a coolant. They are fleshy & transparent with yellowish jelly-like flesh & a slightly square-ish shape.
I'm still not sure what Dazzlefruit would taste like, though. And no clue what it's inspired by. It'd probably have a bright, light flavor, hmm??
If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

Haircare tips for people with ed's (I know I've done a couple of these but I've learned new things)
Some of these things you should continue to do even if you recover, these things will be marked with a *
At least 30 minutes before a shower (can be overnight) apply hair oil to your lengths and ends. Preferably coconut oil (ogx has a great one "coconut miracle oil", if that one is too heavy they have two lighter options)*
Vitamins. At the very least a daily multivitamin. If you can, go to the doctor and get blood work done to see if you are deficient in any vitamins. If you can't go to the doctor I recommend taking B12, Folic acid, vitamin E, Magnesium (try to find a blend of all types of magnesium), Vitamin D and fish oil. I am not a doctor and cannot provide medical advice, these are some of the vitamins I take based on research of what vitamins people with an0rex1a are deficient in
Protein is important. I know you hear it all the time, but that's because it is true. Protein is extremely important for your entire body, especially on a restrictive diet. Protein shakes, bars, protein based products (Kodiak, quest etc) are great for this. If you don't have room in your cal budget for protein, raise your limit. It's scary, but if you don't wanna be bald and lifeless protein is needed. I know a lot of us do this because we want to look sick, trust me you can still look sick eating 750 calories a day. Plus you can work out. Whatever it takes, eat as much protein as you can
After showering, very, very gently squeeze the water out of your hair with a towel. Do not pull, do not rub, take the towel, squeeze the hair and repeat until it is not dripping anymore. Then wrap your hair in a microfiber towel or T-shirt. Wait until it is slightly damp then spray heat protection/leave in spray (you can find these anywhere, if you don't blow dry then any kids leavs in conditioner will do. If you blow dry I suggest L'Oreal 21 in 1 or pantene 10 in one. You are looking for heat protection, detangling and UV protection at least). either air dry or preferably use a blow dryer on low for both settings (heat and air)*
Always wash your hair after a workout where you sweat. Do not leave sweat just sitting on your scalp and hair, it's bad for both
Be gentle. Malnutrition makes hair extremely brittle and prone to breaking, if you have straight hair only brush when it's dry. For curly hair only brush when wet and preferably do it in the shower while you have conditioning products in (hair mask, conditioner or leave in)*
For all hair types, after spraying detangler for straight hair, gently detangle with your fingers, pulling apart any knots you catch. Then brush. Try to limit brushing to once or twice a day*
If you have hard water (look up your areas water hardness) I highly suggest getting a water softener if you can afford one. Waterstick has one I've heard good things about (showerstick, roughly 280 USD). This will also help your skin as a bonus. If you can't get it then clarifying shampoos can help a bit, but not as much as the water softener. Pantene has a good general one and Kristen esse has one specifically for hard water*
I'd recommend haircuts at least every 3 to 4 months, but it depends. If you see split ends before that, get a haircut. If you don't see any split ends, you can go longer. Get your hair cut when you see split ends. (If you have very short hair just go every 3 months or however often you go)*
Never ever ever rip through knots with a brush, that is how 1.hair on non disordered people breaks 2. How you take big chunks out of your hair while being disordered. Take the time to undo the knot with your fingers
This is more for the appearance of hair but if you get layers it will look fuller.
This is all I got, I hope it helps. If you want more tips watch Abbey Yung on YouTube. She's a trichologist who shares the science behind haircare

༘˚⋆𐙚。⋆𖦹.✧˚"Beauty Product Manufacturers and Eco-Friendly Cosmetics”༘˚⋆𐙚。⋆𖦹.✧˚
Hi beautes! 👋🏻 🎀. I want to share one of my opinions and research from what I found that Beauty Product Manufacturers and Eco-Friendly Cosmetics” are really important. Skin irritation and allergic responses are less common with natural and oleochemical substances. Sustainable products are made from naturally occurring substances that humans have been utilizing for centuries: plants and animals. These ingredients have therapeutic qualities and are free of synthetic, poisonous chemicals and artificial colors. Take glycerine, an organic byproduct of palm oil. Cosmetics, medications, and soaps all employ the clear, non-toxic liquid. Glycerine retains moisture well since it is a humectant, which makes it a great moisturizer. By enhancing the body's hygroscopic properties, glycerine helps the skin to absorb and retain water. It can be put anywhere on the body because it doesn't cause irritation. It works well as an anti-aging component.
Because The average Asian or American is thought to use 100 kilos of plastic every year, with over half of the plastic generated going toward single-use disposable products. Typical suppliers of environmentally friendly cosmetics include: Natural oils, including avocado, coconut, and olive oils. Plants used in agriculture, such soybeans and corn. Environmentally friendly formulas are the foundation of eco-friendly cosmetics, which are then produced and packaged using eco-friendly procedures. Ingredients that are made from natural substances are used in the creation of these "green," sustainable cosmetics. Eco-friendly beauty products can be an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin since, in addition to being good for the environment, they are typically made of natural and organic ingredients.
Additionally, harsh chemicals are likely to be absent from eco-friendly cosmetics, which lowers your chance of skin damage and flare-ups. Harsh chemicals are also probably not included in eco-friendly cosmetics, which lowers our chance of skin damage and flare-ups. Consumers nowadays are more concerned with social and environmental responsibilities and have a developing global consciousness. The softer environmental impact of sustainable products is one of their key advantages. There are new reports every week about massive garbage floating in the water or risky carbon outputs. Conventional cosmetics include several dangerous substances called petrochemicals that harm both our bodies and the environment. Customers seek organic, low-polluting items as we grow more conscious of the environment. How are we gonna make the world change? so here’s the tip that you should know:
1. Recognizing Ecological Natural beauty
The following are a few of the most well-known, eco-friendly, sustainable cosmetic brands and their offerings: Native:
-Native uses natural, organic components to make its deodorants. Native's brand is based on "easy-to-understand, nontoxic ingredients." Herbs like castor bean oil, coconut oil, and shea butter are generated from oleochemicals.
-Burt's Bees: From modest beeswax candles to a massive empire of lip products, Burt's Bees has emerged as a global pioneer in sustainability. The company uses natural and organic components in its cosmetics and personal care products, and it follows a "no-waste" manufacturing philosophy. They use beeswax, herbs, and botanical oils to create their well-known goods.
- Blissoma: Specializing in skincare, Blissoma provides a vast selection of green skincare products divided by skin type and need. Their preservative-free cosmetics use natural components such as fruit enzymes, Vitamin C, organic herbs, and cereals.
The job Manufacturers of cosmetics have a rare chance to emphasize corporate responsibility by focusing on green cosmetics. Going above and beyond with sustainable sourcing or packaging can have a big influence, in addition to the good effects green marketing can have on a company's image. A business assumes responsibility for its effects on economies and world health when it ramps up its sustainability initiatives. A company can earn authority and respect from suppliers, customers, and other distribution chain participants by assuming corporate responsibility for its manufacturing.
2. The Effect of Modern Beauty Products on the Environment
The Intensity of Resources and Waste Production: - Sourcing of Ingredients: Resource-intensive procedures are a major part of the manufacturing of traditional cosmetics. One such component that contributes to habitat loss and deforestation is palm oil, which is widely used in cosmetics.Packaging Waste: Take into consideration the chic plastic cases that hold your go-to lipstick or moisturizer. A major contributing factor to the worldwide plastic pollution problem is that these containers frequently wind up in landfills or the ocean.
Toxic ingredients included in many traditional cosmetic products, including parabens, phthalates, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, contribute to chemical pollution and water contamination. In addition to endangering human health, these pollutants contaminate rivers. Ecosystems that are aquatic are impacted by the chemicals we rinse out of our hair or wash off our makeup, which ends up in rivers and oceans. - Tiny plastics: Small plastic particles called microplastics are present in toothpaste, exfoliating scrubs, and some shampoos. These particles are non-biodegradable. Microplastics can harm marine life and possibly make their way into our food chain when they amass in water bodies. Part 3: Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change - Distribution and Transportation: Cosmetics are produced all over the world and distributed extensively. Storage of some goods (such serums) in a refrigerator also adds to the energy usage.
For example: Parabens. - Toxic Substance: Preservatives including methylparaben, ethylparaben, and propylparaben are frequently found in skincare and makeup products. On the other hand, they may increase the risk of breast cancer and cause hormone imbalance. - Alternative: Look for natural preservatives like vitamin E, rosemary oil, or grapefruit seed extract, or choose items that are labeled "paraben-free".
3. Producing Your Own Eco-Friendly Items
Do-it-yourself Beauty Recipes: - For a calming and purifying effect, mix oatmeal, honey, and chamomile tea to make a mild face cleanser. For a luscious and nourishing treat, combine shea and cocoa butter with your preferred essential oils to create a moisturizing body butter. Shake some lemon or orange peels into some apple cider vinegar to create a revitalizing and pleasant citrus hair rinse. Sustainable Packaging Options: To cut down on plastic waste, put your homemade beauty products in reusable glass jars or metal tins. Take into consideration giving empty containers from completed commercial cosmetic items a new lease on life.
Be healthy always, love 🎀🪞🩰🦢🕯️
