Goddamn your note about Michael getting pegged makes me think you should elaborate on it because I’m down bad for that nerd and would love it if he cried while getting pegged

Is this anything?

Warnings: Pegging (obviously), smut Word count: I do not know. This is a drabble, I guess? Written within the confines of this Tumblr ask. No beta. We die like men.

The elasticated straps that fit snugly around the swell of her hips and arse make her feel powerful, the satisfying weight of the rubber phallus held firm by them against her crotch furthering the sensation.

But it is the sight of her boyfriend, Michael, laying before her, utterly at her mercy upon the bed that really feeds her ego. Stripped naked, skin flushed and perspiring lightly, as his breaths come in shallow pants, he looks utterly helpless. She doesn't need to look at the way his cock strains and leaks against his lower abdomen to see how eager he is. There is a desperate look of need in his baby blue eyes, framed by the square rims of his glasses, that tells her all she needs to know.

He gives an impatient whimper, his voice barely audible as a whispered "please" escapes him. She giggles, satisfaction washing over her in a warm wave as she watches him plead and writhe against the mattress.

When she had first met Michael at the start of first year, she would never have guessed she would have him in such a compromising situation almost nine months later. The bespectacled, self proclaimed maths genius had been cocky and arrogant, despite not falling in with the popular crowd at Oxford, and he was incredibly uptight alongside it.

In theory, she should have hated him, however, she found herself drawn to his sense of self assurance and unwillingness to conform to the social etiquette required to be accepted by the other students. Their friendship had blossomed into more when she had consoled him after he'd been ditched by Oliver Quick at the pub. She can't remember who had leaned in first, but from the moment their lips met, they were inseparable.

The end of the final term of first year is looming, and with it come exams. Michael has been tenser than usual, irritable and quick to anger. His refusal to accept anything less than utter perfection for his results weighs heavily upon his shoulders. She knows he's guaranteed a first, he's too clever for anything less, and she is sure that deep down he knows it too. However, the intense pressure he places upon himself to revise, despite being able to do it all in his head already, is placing a strain upon both of them.

It had started as a means to help him relieve stress - their usually active sex life had dwindled to nothing as Michael buried himself in text books, and she was so pent up from her own revision that the touch starvation was beginning to get to her. She had wanted to make him feel good, to ease the pressure he was placing upon himself.

The moment she had crawled down the bed and tasted him upon her tongue, all inhibition had left her. Her movements had grown sloppy and uncontrolled as she'd bobbed her head back and forth over the length of him. His soft groans of pleasure had encouraged her and she'd pulled off of him to offer the same attention to his stones. As her tongue had flicked out towards the velvety skin, her enthusiasm causing her movements to be imprecise, she had pressed her tongue lower than intended, the tip of it grazing the tight ring of muscle hidden between his buttocks.

To her surprise, instead of bucking away and demanding she stop, he had gasped, his breathless request of "do that again" making her smirk, but all too happy to oblige. She had pressed a finger into him, its passage aided by the wetness of her saliva and watched in fascination as, after a few well aimed pumps, a string of expletives had left her boyfriend's mouth as he coated his stomach in pearly white spend.

He had seemed more relaxed after that, not quite so intense in the way he carried the burden of his exams. With this in mind, and having unlocked a new side to Michael, she was eager to explore it, and after copious amounts of online research, which she was sure had forever ruined her search history, she had made a discreet visit to Ann Summers the following day. Her skin grew hot with embarrassment as she'd placed the strap on kit and lubricant upon the counter to pay for it, but the excitement of what was to come made her brief humiliation worth it.

Most nights since then have ended with him stretched around her fingers as he spills down her throat, his fingers clutching the bedsheets so tightly that hie knuckles turn white. Concerned she would scare him off, she had yet to bring up the topic of pegging - until this evening.

As she had laid between his thighs, her fingers circling his puckered hole, she had looked up at him, taking in the flush of his cheeks and his parted lips.

"How do you feel about pegging?" She'd whispered, her eyes flitting to his.

He'd swallowed thickly, attempting to get his thoughts in order. "What's that?"

Deciding it was better to show him, she had reached into her bedside table, retrieving the Ann Summers bag and taken out the kit to show him.

As his eyes had widened, she was sure he'd tell her no, accuse her of being a weirdo, insist he'd never do such a perverted thing, but he had shocked her when he'd simply asked: "will it hurt?"

She had reassured him it wouldn't, told him that she'd prepare him with her fingers first, use the same lubricant they always do to help loosen him up. It would feel as it normally, just fuller, more intense.

That is how he has come to lay before her now, spread out and trembling with anticipation.

She smirks down at him, leaning over to pluck his glasses from him his face, depositing them onto the bedside table. "Don't want these steaming up."

"But I won't be able to see..."

"Oh, Michael," she coos, "just focus on the sensations."

Taking one of the pillows from the head of the bed, she taps the side of his hip, with a gentle command of "up", before sliding it beneath his pelvis, elevating him to where she needs him to be.

Having already prepared him with her fingers, she spreads a generous amount of lube along the shaft of her strap, and around his opening. Michael's breathing is erratic as he watches her, his grasp of the bedsheets impossibly tight.

"You ready?" She asks, gazing down at him, stroking his thigh.

He nods fervently, his voice shaky. "Y--yeah...I think so..."

"Good boy."

She presses forward, met by slight resistance as Michael inhales sharply.

"Just relax for me, breathe," she instructs gently.

Her passage eases slightly as he relaxes and she stills as she bottoms out, reaching up to cup his jaw tenderly.

"How's that feel?"

"Full," he utters, voice strained, "but not unpleasant."

"Good. I'm going to move now, is that okay?"

He nods again, and she withdraws slowly, before pressing back in. Her heart feels as though it skips a beat as she watches his cock twitch against his stomach, accompanied by his soft groan of pleaure.

Slowly but surely, she increases the pace and intensity of her thrusts, until the slap of her skin can be heard against his. He writhes beneath her as she grips his thighs to hold him in place, no intelligible words leaving his mouth besides needy whines and whimpers.

Taking pity on him, she takes his length in hand - now so hard it looks as though it's actually causing him pain - and pumps it in a steady rhythm with the movement of her hips.

His toes curl, his breaths ragged and face reddened. "I--I'm gonna..."

Unable to finish his sentence, he screws his eyes shut, brow furrowing as he cries out an elongated "fuck", spilling himself over her knuckles in forceful spurts. He trembles with aftershocks, pulsating and twitching against her palm, clenching around her strap, until finally he stills.

As he relaxes back against the mattress, she can see his lash line has turned watery, tears of relief filling his eyes as he gasps for breath.

"You enjoyed that then?" She asks playfully.

All he's able to muster is a tired nod and an "mmm".

"Your last exam's tomorrow, isn't it?"

His eyes swim back into focus as he stares up at her, reaching for his glasses to put them back on. "Yeah...but we can carry on doing this afterwards...can't we..?"

She grins down at him. "Yeah, we can carry on doing this."

A swimming lesson

It was another typical day at school, and as usual, I found myself in the crosshairs of Mr. Coachman's disdain. My name is Tristan, and I am what one might call an "unsporty" student. Thin, nerdy, and full of useless facts, I was the kid who always got picked last in gym class. Mr Coachman, a former athlete turned sport and philosophy teacher, had no patience for my know-it-all attitude. He believed that my incessant need to correct everyone was hindering the class and, quite frankly, his sanity. One day, Mr. Coachman approached me after yet another unnecessary correction during PE. He offered me a chance to improve my abysmal grades in sports by taking extra swimming lessons with him. Reluctantly, I agreed, desperate to boost my overall GPA. At our first swimming session, Mr. Coachman handed me a peculiar-looking swimming cap. He claimed it would allow me to hear and see his instructions directly in my head. I thought he was out of his mind, but upon putting on the cap, I realized it actually worked. It was a surreal experience, feeling Mr. Coachman's voice and visual cues echoing in my mind as I swam. The instructions were crystal clear, making it easier to perfect my stroke and improve my technique in record time. Weeks later, Mr. Coachman, noticing my progress, approached me with a new pair of swim goggles. He said they would help me focus better in the pool. Skeptical yet willing to try anything, I put them on and dove in. As soon as the water enveloped me, I felt a heightened sense of concentration. The outside world disappeared, and all that mattered was the water beneath me. Mr. Coachman's voice became a distant echo, guiding me through each stroke and turn. It was as if the goggles had transformed me into a single-minded swimming machine.

Mr Coachman observed my newfound dedication and satisfaction. I was exhausted from the intense swim training, which left me with no energy to display my usual know-it-all tendencies in class.

Several weeks later, Mr Coachman's next request gave me pause. He presented me with a slim blue Speedo and promised that it would enhance my speed in the water. There was just one catch—I had to shave off all my body hair. He argued that professional swimmers did it all the time for better speed and reduced resistance. I protested vehemently. "Shave off all my body hair? Are you out of your mind?" I exclaimed, my voice filled with disbelief. Mr Coachman, with a grin on his face, replied, "Of course not, Tristan! It's a small sacrifice in pursuit of greatness. Trust me, you'll thank me later." I crossed my arms stubbornly, determined to resist this outrageous demand. "Absolutely not! I'll wear the Speedo, but I draw the line at shaving my body hair. It's like asking a caterpillar to give up its fuzzy coat!" Mr Coachman's smile didn't falter, and he simply said, "Suit yourself, Tristan. But just remember, the pros do it for a reason." His words lingered in the air as an internal struggle waged within me. The temptation to conform and become the ultimate swimmer clashed with my natural inclination to rebel against such absurdity. In the end, though, curiosity won over. I figured, if I could endure the grueling training and wear these magical swimming items, what harm could a little body hair removal do? With a hesitant sigh, I finally agreed to Mr. Coachman's request. Trudging to the bathroom, I grabbed a razor, examining its gleaming blade with trepidation. As I stood before the mirror, thoughts of caterpillars and metamorphosis floated through my mind. I wondered if shaving off my body hair would truly transform me into a swimming powerhouse. With each stroke of the razor, I felt a mix of excitement and unease. Whiskers and hairs fell, leaving behind smooth, hairless skin. Trapped in my thoughts, I couldn't help but wonder what my friends would say or how they would react when they discovered my newfound aquatic obsession and hairless body. Finally, once all the hair was gone, I took a long look at my smooth reflection. It was a strange sight, almost otherworldly. I felt a mix of vulnerability and exhilaration, like a sea creature shedding its scales and emerging anew. Standing tall in my hairless glory, I slipped into the slim blue Speedo. Ready or not, I was about to dive into the next chapter of this bizarre journey, hoping that my shaved body would indeed prove to be a worthwhile sacrifice in the pursuit of greatness. Emerging from the water for the first time in my stylish Speedo, I had transformed. My physique resembled that of a Greek statue, not an ounce of body fat in sight. I was an athletic swimmer, a force to be reckoned with.

With my old clothes no longer fitting, Mr. Coachman outfitted me with a tight beige chino and a light blue shirt.

As I squeezed myself into the outfit, I couldn't help but complain about looking like a preppy dork. However, Mr. Coachman assured me that it was all about how I wore the clothes. Skillfully, he rolled up the sleeves of my shirt, unbuttoned the top buttons, and stood back to appraise his handiwork. "Aren't you a handsome devil?" he remarked with a satisfied grin.

Surprisingly, I found myself thanking him, swallowed by a sense of excitement and self-confidence that I had never experienced before. Something about Mr. Coachman's approval made me feel alive and validated, even if I couldn't pinpoint exactly why I had become so susceptible to his influence. And thus, Mr. Coachman's cunning plan had come to fruition. Those magical swimming accouterments had not only transformed me into a skilled swimmer but also had slowly but surely chipped away at my once-sturdy resistance. When I wore all three items—cap, goggles, and Speedo—I was utterly beholden to his every command, a true embodiment of the "perfect student-athlete" he had envisioned from the onset. Now a member of the swim team, I had gone from a nerdy outcast to a charming and good-looking athlete, the joy of all my teachers. But deep down, I couldn't help but wonder if Mr. Coachman's methods were entirely ethical. Regardless, I was living proof of his success, and the sensation of hearing Mr. Coachman's voice and visualizing his instructions while wearing the cap and goggles had left an indelible mark on my perception of swimming, forever changing the way I experienced the water.

“It is a good plan. It is the best we have to make sure you get to safety. Deliver Jaehaera to Helaena for me, will you?”, he asked, giving her hands a little squeeze.

There was such finality in his voice.

“What about you?”, she asked.

He shrugged.

“I’ll find my way out of Dorne.”

All the while he had avoided meeting her gaze, his head lowered, his eye downcast, each word coming out mumbled yet certain.

She wanted to hit him. The urge came suddenly, from somewhere deep inside her, right along with a desire to scream. She wanted to slap him across the face with all her might, to shake him until his teeth rattled, to scream at him until he saw sense again.

But no matter how a blood curdling screech itched at the back of her throat, she couldn’t, not without drawing attention to them.

“How?”, she demanded to know through clenched teeth, not trusting her voice with much more lest her inner turmoil seize control of it to both their detriment.

“It doesn’t matter.”

He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, reminding her that he was still wearing his boots, his heavy leather boots that seemed glued to his feet.

The fact that they still graced his feet now was proof that this decision was not a spur of the moment thing. Otherwise he would have left them with Luke and Jaehaera, for, despite their uses, they were not for swimming.

Now there was no doubt that he had planned this, had led her on in a game of make believe all the while knowing he was going to abandon them, going to betray her.

“How?”, she repeated, her voice trembling as all of her began to shake.

His hands had held her own gently but now hers tightened to the point it made them wince, but she refused to lessen her grip.

“Why do you care?”, he snapped, a lightning of rage appearing in his eye for but a heartbeat.

Why do you care?

How could he ask that? Now? After everything? After stilling her shaking hands when they were still coated in blood? After dropping the body of the guard into the sea? After all they had done, all they had seen, all they had survived to get here.

And now he sought to just leave her…just like that, without a fight, without a struggle, without a heroic last stand. No, Aemond Targaryen was content to simply slip away into the night, to leave her and the others to their fates.

“Go now. Luke is waiting.”, he urged, almost gently, but she could tell his tone was off. He was a fool if he thought she would fall for his feigned lightheartedness.

They hadn’t come this far to separate. Not now. Not yet.

“No.”, she said, glaring up at him in pure defiance and resentment.

“What did you say?”, he asked, leaning in as if it had been the volume of her voice that caused his confusion.

“I will not go.”, she stated, searching his face for any trace of a reaction.

She could see the quiver of his lip, the twitch in his jaw muscle, the narrowing of his eye.

“You have to! Luke is waiting, and he won’t leave without you!”

By the sound of him she was the greatest fool in the Seven Kingdoms for not already being halfway to the boat. How comical, since he was the only one acting the jester, and a poor one at that.

“He’ll have to wait because I won’t go alone.”, she insisted.

She could see him bristle at her word,his eye darting out into the darkness as if to make out the ship in the black of night.

“You are putting all our lives at risk with your stubbornness.”, he snarled, anger laced in with his impatience.

“The only one being stubborn is you! What in seven hells are you thinking? You said it yourself - this is the only way.”

The look on his face told her that he still believed that, and that he had no alternative plan lined up, that he had intended on leaving them to her fate while returning to complete uncertainty.

“You don’t understand-”

“You’re right I don’t!”, she snapped, cutting him off. “And we don’t have time for you to so graciously share your genius!”

The breath she took had the aim of calming her. It did little of the sort but calmed her voice.

“You said you know how to swim? The motions…?”, she asked.

Aemond hesitated for a moment before giving the faintest of nods. “But it’s not enough.”

“It will have to be enough.”, she insisted. “You know the motions. It’s the same over and over.”

She glanced down at him. “Besides, you are…trained, are you not?”

He had been strong enough to carry Luke through Sunspear at night for hours, had held her as she lowered them down the castle walls, had guarded and protected them only to shrink away from the sea of all things in fear.

“Why are you being difficult?”, Aemond hissed, yanking his hand away.

She reached up and grabbed his arm.

“Because I refuse to abandon you!”

He scoffed and shook his head.

“You are not abandoning me. In any case, you are abandoning Luke, who will-”

“Oh shut up!”, she snapped at him, as loud as the night would allow. It was far too easy to see through his ploy, to guilt her into leaving him behind in order for Luke, to force her to make a choice she didn’t have to make in the first place.

“Shut up, Aemond!”, she hissed, the man in question looking baffled at her insolence. He deserved more than rudeness now, for his idiocy. “I can’t and I won’t, not after everything.”

She shook her head. “We’ll go back together, go home together. Like we said!”

She had repeated that mantra over and over as if to speak it into existence, and if she backtracked even slightly on her promise to the heavens, she feared they would yank it all from her grasp and send them all into damnation.

“Don’t do this to me, Aemond!”, she asked, her voice cracking under the strain.

Whether she had worn him down or whether her voice failing her that made Aemond fall silent, she did not know, but he was silent once more, glancing at his feet.

She could feel he was scared.

Reaching up, she barely brushed her hand against his cheek to look at her.

“We’ll be fine, Aemond!”, she promised him, reaching for his hand and pulling him to the edge. They would be fine. They would have to be.

She sat down on the edge, with him next to her, and the fact that he did nearly made her weep with relief.

“Your boots…they’ll weigh you down.”, she said.

For a dreadful moment she feared that this would change his mind but then he reached down, undid the clasps and slipped them off one by one.

Once they sank to the bottom, she pushed herself off of the edge and into the water. At this time of night, it was refreshingly cool. Her hand remained on the edge, waiting with baited breath.

Slowly, Aemond let himself slip into the water as well, inhaling sharply.

Instead of pushing herself off and beginning to swim at her pace, she waited for Aemond to begin.

After a nod from her, he began, with strong and steady breaststrokes, though not nearly as quick as she would have liked.

He was slow, but he swam, and that would have to be good enough.

She let him set the pace as she looked out into the night, searching for the occasional glimmer of light that would be their own little lighthouse.

~

Aemond tried desperately to remember every lesson he had ever had, to breathe in when he pulled his arms back, and out when he pushed them forward. Or had it been the other way?

He could not tell whether they had swam for but a moment, or half an eternity. All he felt was the tightness in his chest, the taste of salt on his lips and the stinging around his sapphire eye.

That was the waves doing that came, hitting the side of his face, making him gasp and cough for air.

How anyone would ever voluntarily do this, was beyond him. There was even a religion on the Iron Islands, where they worshipped the drowned god, leading all their priests out to see and holding them under until they were closer to death than life.

Aemond recalled the images he had seen of this deity, with a grey beard laced with seaweed, with shells and driftwood intertwined, looming under the sea and feasting on sailors who fell prey to the dangers of the sea, some by accident, some by vanity.

It was nearly pitch black, but Aemond could almost see the red eyes looking up from beneath the waves, as if to await him.

The thought spurred him on to swim faster, quicker, moving his legs and arms as much as he could in an attempt to just get on.

But the opposite was happening. It was as if he was stuck, frozen between the waves as his chest grew ever tighter, and his limbs ever heavier.

It was as if a weight had reached for him from below, pulling him down.

He thrashed to get it away from him as someone called his name, but Aemond did not know if that came from the heavens above or the Drowned God below.

While still kicking, he felt a touch on his arm and pulled away so forcefully, his head broke through the surface, his mouth filling with salt water.

He thrashed more, in an attempt to put distance between him and anything that was touching him, dragging him down, but the more he tried, the fewer the gasps of air became.

The salt burned in his eyes, on his hands, in the back of his throat, and when he tried to breathe, only water filled his mouth and Aemond knew he was drowning.

There was no longer a way to know where up was, not in this darkness. The skies were just as black as the pits of the sea and both had conspired to trap him forever.

Everything was dark, everything was a hell created just to torment him. And Aemond knew he deserved it. He deserved hell for killing the man tonight, and the fat one back in Dorne, for being a resentful son and a jealous brother, for tormenting her and causing her pain.

And this was a hell just for him.

Still, Aemond was still kicking, his arms flaring at everything and nothing until he found something his hands could coil around, something he could pull himself towards. Upwards, he realised as he used all his weight, upwards.

Breaking through the surface,, he gasped for air, only to realise he was sinking again.

Bubbles slipped past his lips, wasting precious air as he searched around blindly for what he had used to push him up, finding it once more, or something else, what mattered was he found something to brace himself against to reach the surface once more.

Something, anything - only Aemond knew there was nothing. Nothing to hold onto, nothing to pull himself up with, unless that something was her.

If I’m pushing myself up on her, I’m pushing her down, he realised. If I’m pulling myself to the surface using her, I’m drowning her in my stead.

He felt the all familiar heat of torment rise inside him, the kind that would make his skin burn, his chest tighten and his hands tremble, only this time he had no air to give.

I’m killing her, he thought. I’m drowning her. My hands are the ones that end her life.

Just like in his nightmares, only they weren’t nightmares, not anymore.

White dots began to appear in his vision, shining brightly against the darkness. They were familiar to him from frightful nights past and he forced himself to focus on them, as he felt his body grow heavier.

Don’t fight it, he told himself. Fighting means dragging her down with me.

At least, if it wasn't too late.

His body was aflame with desperation, wishing to fight until he had no more, to put up a heroic last stand against the elements, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, but at what cost?

No, he couldn’t…he wouldn’t…if it was the last thing he ever did, Aemond would not drag her down with him.

If he hadn’t been surrounded by nothing but water, Aemond Targaryen may have wept.

And maybe he did, for only when the droplets ran into his mouth past his parted lips, did he realise he could still breathe, despite the choking, wretched coughs that shook his whole body.

Though it was a fruitless effort in the water, his body attempted to keel over in an attempt to aid the pressure on his upper chest as he gagged and splattered.

Only then did he realise there was a hand on his jaw, holding it in a firm grip. And another on the back of his head.

Panic surged inside him until he realised the hands were neither pushing nor pulling him, just holding him.

And the hands were warm.

In a world of cold water and biting salt that tore at his lips, buried itself into the scar around his lost eye, while scorching his lungs, those hands were warm..

As he coughed, gushes of salt water ran down his chin and over the hands that held his head steady. And the coughing stayed even after the water subsided.

Yet the ache remained, but with more frequent breaths, despite his racing heartbeat, he felt his senses returning.

"I'm sorry.", He gasped, his throat aching with any attempt to speak.

Another wave of coughs came over him, making his chest seize up.

As soon as this fit subsided, he tried again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry.", He mumbled.

"Can you hear me, Aemond?", She asked. "I need you to answer me, with words."

"Yes.", He said, the sound of her voice feeling as warm to him as her hands, although it too was breathless and strained.

"I've got you. It's alright. I've got you, you just have to stay still.", She assured him. "Relax your body, I've got you."

He tried, but he couldn't. His whole body was aching, and each splash of water against his face made the bubbling fear boil over.

"I've got you!", She assured him, and though he could not see her, he heard her voice, could feel her hands on his face, and hear her breaths.

They were as steady as if dictated to by a metron, and in the absence of her words, they were all he could rely on. And he did, awaiting their whispering sounds, counting them, and later, trying to sync his shaking breaths to it.

Only after a while did Aemond gather his senses to realise they were moving, or rather, she was moving them.

"I'm sorry.", He whispered again.

He didn't dare ask to be let go for fear he would slip from her grasp into the darkness beneath, but he had to help her.

With her hands holding him up, her legs were the ones doing all the work and once he thought on it, he could feel them kicking beneath him.

"I'm sorry.", He said again, trying to move his legs to help her.

"You're well, Aemond?", She asked. "Can you hear me?"

"I can hear you.", He assured her.

"We're nearly there. Were nearly there, Aemond.", she promised him.

The first time he saw the flicker of light he didn't trust his senses, remembering tales of shipwrecked sailors seeing ships come nearly daily, as their weakened minds sought to torment them.

But she seemed determined to follow or, and she was the one moving them both.

When her hand left the back of his head, icy fear crashed over him like an avalanche, only to realise she had reached for something that lay in the water, pulling the rope towards them.

"Can you keep yourself upright for a moment?", She asked. "Only a moment, then I can help you again. Just move your legs steadily!",

He tried, for her, but the absence of her warmth made his heart thunder so fiercely he feared it would rip from his chest.

In the darkness he could barely make out more than her silhouette as she reached around him, fastening the rope around his waist.

How she made the knot in the water, without view or vision, he did not know, but it held firm.

As his hands closed around the rope, he felt more relieved than ever to feel the rough fibre rub against his palm. To him there had never been a sweeter sting, for he could feel it was connected to something, and when he pulled at the rope, he could pull himself forward, inch by painful inch until he realised they were almost within touching distance of the hull of a ship.

Her hands brushed along its end until she found what she had been looking for.

"Here!", She told him, her voice slightly slurred as she guided his hand to the end of a rope ladder.

Aemond wanted nothing more than to finally feel anything beneath his feet than water, yearning for the stability of even the thinnest of woods, but something told him to still his haste.

"You first!", He told her, moving to the side slightly.

He was facing her dragon eye, white and amber even in the night, of the other though, he only caught a glimpse through her half hooded eye and that looked nearly completely white.

Her hands, that had tied the rope around his waist with such certainty, now fumbled to find a grip, any grip of their own.

But she pulled herself up ahead of him.

Aemond could feel her limbs trembling before him, and saw her hands slipping again and again.

T'was on the third or fourth step when her hands slipped once more, only this time her footing wasn't strong enough to catch her.

She crashed down into Aemond, who grunted at the impact, his hand twisting itself around the rope ladder to now hold both their weight as the other grabbed a fistful of her shirt, pulling her up only so much as to trap her between the ship and his body to keep her from falling.

At the best of times it would have been an easy thing to carry her, but these were far from the best of times and he wasn't even sure he had enough strength to pull himself up the ship, let alone her too.

"Luke!", He called upward into the darkness. "You have to help her!"

The sight of his nephew appearing on the side of the ship nearly brought him to tears.

"Get her up!", Aemond pleaded, pushing her up as much as he was still able to.

Her body was limp and trembling, and he wasn't even sure she was able to hear him.

Once he could, Luke grabbed her under the arms and pulled her up out of his sight.

Aemond leaned his head against the ship, taking a few breaths.

He was beyond exhausted, but he couldn't rest just yet. A few more steps, that was all it was, but just slipping off into slumber was so tempting it took all his will to grit his teeth and pull himself up step by agonising step.

When he finally felt his hands on the edges he pulled himself up and let his drained body tip over, hitting the deck in a thump.

But it was the deck, and that was all that mattered.

There he lay as he had fallen, for a handful of heartbeats of maybe a hundred more. It was the feeling of movement to his side that made him look.

He had held her for but a moment, but she had held him for Gods know how long, and she was smaller than he was, and frailer, so much frailer.

Every muscle and bone screamed in protest as he pushed himself up, stumbling over to where Luke had laid her on her back.

"To her side.", He mumbled, his knee hitting the deck. "It'll help her breathe."

He had learned from his hours in the training yard, from pushing his body well beyond the suitable, to the point of aching limbs and restless stomachs.

She would get worse if they didn't steady her properly.

He angled her knee, and her arm as he brought her to lie on her side, placing his head under the side of hers so it would lie on the hard floor.

With the other he reached for her neck, feeling the rapid and racing pulsing of her heart.

"I'm sorry.", He whispered again

Hot take: Hater culture is just cringe culture in a different trench coat.

“I love being a hater u3u” No you love being a pedantic little shit who takes the enjoyment out of everything and makes people feel bad for liking anything.

What makes “being a hater” so fucking annoying isn’t even the negativity, it’s that it makes everything fucking boring. What, something has to be flawless to be good? Get fucked. I hate that kind of mindset, that just because something has its issues that it’s fine to dismiss everything it does right. Chronic “Hating” strips everything of its individuality and demands conformity, because how dare this thing be something I don’t enjoy! How dare there be flaws!

And don’t even get me started on how half of the “flaws” they point out aren’t even fucking flaws, and are just not conventional.

It’s also fucking annoying how this kind of mindset crawled into fandom spaces. That’s also why, in my opinion, it got this rebrand, because “cringe” in itself is kind of a fandom-esque term. It’s just a bunch of bitter idiots getting lost and finding themselves in fandom spaces somehow, only to point at everything and going “Oh my GOD, do you UNIRONICALLY like that??”

It’s the same shit over again, where something is only “allowed” to be enjoyed through like, seven layers of irony. It’s pathetic. Fuckos, it’s fine to acknowledge that something has flaws and still like it. At least fucking stand for it.

I didn’t want to acknowledge how fandom in general has deteriorated because of these insecure, bitter idiots invading spaces made for enjoying something unconventional safely, but fuck, I miss the old times. They weren’t fucking perfect, but at least there wasn’t some whiny rat around every corner screeching about how liking something is bad unless you do it at a mental and emotional distance.

Fuck haters. Fuck cringe culture. Fuck all the people who say shit like “love being a hater uwu” and “being bullying back”. Sort out your own fucking issues. Grow up.

For the Ask game: (Also please give your honest opinion on this, no sugar coating!)

☕️People erasing everything about a character in order to make them fit into a simple stereotype for fanfiction/fan media

☕️ Fanon characterizations of traditionally masculine characters (idk I was quite interested in figuring this out a while back, and would love your insight! I don't mind if you go a little off-topic or anything if you feel like the prompt is too vague, I love your rambles!)

Firstly, I always give my honest opinions when I answer my asks. I occasionally temper myself with civility as I think it’s possible to be honest and direct without resorting to harshness or negativity, which can sometimes border on bullying. 

To answer your questions: 

☕️People erasing everything about a character in order to make them fit into a simple stereotype for fanfiction/fan media 

By its very nature, fanfiction is a transformative medium. It provides a space where creators are free to explore and reinterpret characters, settings, and narratives. 

Some of the simplification of characters in fanfiction might actually stem from the challenges of craft.  Creating complex characters demands a decent understanding of human psychology, motivations, and relationships and a willingness to tolerate messiness. When writers pare down well-rounded characters to mere stereotypes, to me it often suggests a craft issue. 

There’s also something that I call the “ "TikTokification" of fanfiction, where things that weren’t previously consumable begin to take on some of this consumption culture. So there’s an added pressure or a desire to be the ‘next big fic’ on top of how artists do appreciate engagement on their art (while people can write for themselves, there’s an element of wanting engagement and community). 

This pressure can encourage the use of popular tropes and stereotypes as shortcuts to popularity. While tropes are not inherently negative and can be storytelling tools, their overuse, especially when it sidelines character complexity, might contribute to a homogenisation of fan-created content, where nuance is sacrificed for the sake of virality.

☕️ Fanon characterizations of traditionally masculine characters

I start this with the same preamble to the previous ask. Fanfic is transformative. This freedom is one of the medium's greatest strengths. 

In fanon, traditionally masculine characters sometimes undergo significant reinterpretation. While this can challenge and expand on stereotypical portrayals, there is also the risk of reinforcing traditional gender roles or simplistic views of what masculinity can entail.

Hegemonic masculinity (developed by Raelyn Connell- run and read her stuff if you’re interested), is a concept that explore the socially constructed practices that uphold men's dominant position in society and justifies the subordination of women, and other marginalised ways of being a man.  

Side note: Connell is very clear that these practices are not linked to a body (are not immutable or linked to how a person’s body is) but are socially constructed and are very context-specific. 

When fan fiction reinforces hegemonic masculinity, it often does so through several distinct mechanisms, some of which may not be immediately apparent to the writers themselves. This inadvertent reinforcement can manifest in a variety of ways:

Glorification of Alpha-Male Tropes: These tropes celebrate the traditionally "strong" male character who exhibits dominance, aggression, and control as desirable traits.

Uncritical Replication of Traditional Gender Roles: Sometimes, fan fiction can perpetuate traditional gender roles where male characters are positioned in roles of power, decision-making, and action, whilst female characters are relegated to supportive or passive roles. This replication often goes unchallenged, reinforcing the idea that these roles are natural and immutable.

Sidelining Non-Conventional Masculinities: Characters who do not conform to traditional masculine norms—such as those who are more emotionally open, non-aggressive, or who occupy traditionally feminine roles—might be marginalised or less developed. This sidelining serves to maintain the centrality and perceived normality of hegemonic masculinity by implying that other forms of masculinity are less valid or interesting.

Imposing Traditional Gender Dynamics in Queer Relationships: In some instances, fandom might mould characters within queer relationships to fit into a heteronormative framework, where one partner adopts a distinctly "masculine" role and the other a "feminine" role. This practice can inadvertently affirm the idea that relationship dynamics must align with traditional gender roles to be valid or recognisable. And can reinforce the notion that even in queer relationships, the hegemonic concepts of masculinity and femininity are the standards to which all dynamics should conform.

Had a new client today with a soft coated wheaten terrier puppy, with booking notes saying she wanted the breed clip. I groom quite a few of those (surprisingly, as they're not a common breed here), but none of them get the breed clip because no one likes that maintenance and people like to see their dog's eyes. I pull out Notes from the Grooming Table to refresh myself and prepare for a conversation about how I have the pattern but it's not something I do regularly so it may not be perfect.

When the owner arrives to drop off, the receptionist comes to grab me and warns me that she comes off as someone like to be a problem, and I'm like oh boy.

Go up to talk to the lady and she has this pretty grown-out four-ish month old puppy and first thing she tells me snidely about how she "wanted to get her in sooner, but that's another story." I ask what she wants and she shows me a picture, which is... a teddy bear face. She tells me next that she wants to work her into a proper wheaten clip later, and proceeds to show me all these pictures of wheatens with a proper fall, so I ask if she wants me to still leave a bit of a beard and eyebrow today so she's more set up for that clip in the future than the picture she's showing me would. She says yes. Then she says, "So the booking information says she'll be done by this time, right?"

I tell her because this is a puppy's first groom, I want to take my time so it will take a little longer, and this woman sounds like she's about to cry at the thought of that of that but says, "Okay," and I tell her the estimate I think it'll more likely be and she seems reassured a little and I take the dog back.

When I get her back in the salon, I realize we never actually talked about what we would be doing on the dog's body because the owner was so focused on the face. Oops.

I opt to do a wheaten pattern on her body and just pick lengths based on the owner's goals/my impression of her and get going. But the whole time I'm worrying, "oh no, she's going to say I took her too short," "oh no, she's going to be one of those people that freaks out that I took all the black tips off her puppy," "oh no, she's going to hate the face because it's some hybrid of a wheaten and a teddy bear even though she said to do that," "oh no, what did she mean by that comment about wanting to get the dog groomed sooner, did she want someone else to do this and I'm just plan B? I assumed she was referred by my other wheaten clients but now idk"

Finish the dog like four minutes late, but amazingly this lady didn't show up demanding her dog at precisely the time I predicted, so I call the lady, and when she answers she asks how her dog did and then says, "Oh, and I was reading your bio on the website-" (Me, thinking: I have a bio??) "And I saw it says you have an Irish Setter! We had Irish Setters when I was growing up! My mom used to raise them for conformation shows until she got too old for dogs that size, then she went to English Cockers. That made me feel so much better."

On the one hand I'm thinking, "okay, this confirms that I wasn't her desired groomer if she's going digging on me," and on the other, "yay Irish Setters for bringing people together! Hope this doesn't set her expectations too high that I'm going to have given her wheaten some kind of show groom." (Also, thirdly: who wrote me a bio and what does it say)

It feels like a good thing but we won't know for surr until this dog is picked up.

Anyway, so I'm running behind because my schedule wasn't put together today to accommodate a puppy's first groom so I get working on my next dog and the receptionist brings the puppy up for me when the owner gets here. I'm hoping she'll tell me what the owner thought since we're all worried about this, but quite some time passes.

Finally, she bursts through the door. "Mary! That lady with the wheaten? When she saw her she just started sobbing-"

oh no

"-because she thought it was so cute!"

omg what a relief gkdfksd

"Like seriously she was down on the ground and making a whole scene but she was so happy, she thought the dog was the cutest thing in the world and she just couldn't stop going on about it and she said she's going to be coming to you forever and then she told me like her entire life story about [all these things she's been through] and how she got the puppy to be an emotional support animal and she's just so happy with her and how she looks and I made sure to remind her your name so she could ask for you going forward and she's already rebooked her next appointment for next month!"

So anyway, ultimately it sounds like she'll end up being a good client and whatever happened that she wasn't able to get her puppy groomed when/where she originally wanted seems to have worked out? I don't know what was said to the receptionist at the beginning to give her a bad feeling (she had gone home by the time I left today) but I'm glad things turned out okay because we've definitely met plenty of clients that are just impossible to please.

And for those that made it this far, I tried to take pics of the puppy because she was indeed very cute, but they all pretty much turned out like this because she was also very excited to be done

But here's an only slightly blurry grab from a motion pic

Here's hoping things go as well next time!

Another underappreciated reason that intersectionality is really, really important is the recognition that bigoted behaviors will OFTEN be codified against one group, then redirected against another as convenient.

For instance, the weird, seemingly paradoxical antimasculism that's being aimed at queer people? The idea that anyone who is Too Masculine is inherently dangerous? That traces back to racism, particularly antiblackness. The brand of patriarchy that permeates the English-speaking world and much of its sphere of influence is rooted in white supremacy; it holds the idea that yes, being A Man(TM) is good, it's strong, it's powerful, it's triumphant - and only White Manhood is Refined and Civilized Enough to CONTAIN that Raw Manly Power; other, Lesser Races just cannot handle that pure muscle and raw sexual virility - after all, you wouldn't like even the ~civilized~ white man when you deny him the sexual outlets he ~rightfully deserves~, so BEWARE those scaaaaary others; the darker they are, the more dangerous! (🤮) This idea is where the "thug" stereotype comes from. It was codified against POC, especially Black people, first and foremost.

So, you file the serial numbers off this idea that Manly Power is DANGEROUS in the hands of someone who doesn't conform to white hegemony - you superficially deracialize it - and then what happens?

Well, it sure does become convenient to aim at queer men, and queer people you want to label as men to demonize them that way, now doesn't it? It's not identical to how it's aimed at men of color, but it hits queer men (and trans women, for that matter) of color even harder - after all, that's two axes on which a nearly identical stereotype is leveraged!

Many forms of bigotry and even less-targeted demands for conformity? Many of the most popular things to reach for to paint anyone as evil have origins as antisemitic caricatures. Compare almost ANY bigoted fearmongering to old-fashioned blood libel - queerphobic panics about "pedophile rings"? Transvestigation and the belief that "the Elite are all ~inverted~, ritualistically mutilating themselves and others for unfathomably twisted reasons"? Even just the "good" old-fashioned Satanic Panic, aimed at anyone from queer people, POC by the "I'm not racist BUT..." crowd, visibly mentally ill people, and even just everyone who was too Weird for white supremacist ideals but couldn't be made into an obvious group to scapegoat? It's all the same thing in a slightly different - yet frequently overlapping - coat of paint! Now consider what happens when a target of that bullshit is also Jewish...

This is why solidarity is important. This is why it's important to try to be careful to not assume everything is about you, but not assume that someone else's experience is something that you can't relate to. This is why you should, yes, try to avoid derailing...but also fight the knee-jerk impulse to consider everything that mentions a similar-but-not-identical perspective from a different group "derailing", because sometimes "hey that happens to me too because of X, now I can't help but wonder if that's related to your Y" is an actually valuable part of the puzzle.

“We had long known the Chief Ranger as a grand master of Mauretania. We had often seen him at junketings, and diced and wined with him through many a night. He was one of those figures whom the Mauretanians respect as great lords and yet find somewhat ridiculous - rather as an old colonel of the mounted yeomanry is received in the regiment on his occasional visits from his estates. He left an imprint on one's memory, if only because his green coat with its gold-embroidered ilex leaves drew all eyes to him.

His wealth was rumoured to be boundless, and at the banquets which he gave in his town house profusion reigned. There, in the old style, drinking was hard and stakes were high, so that the oak boards of the great gaming table groaned under its load of gold. Famous, too, were the oriental suppers in his little villas, to which were invited the favoured few. Thus I had frequent opportunities to see him close at hand, and felt the breath of primitive power that surrounded him like a breeze from his forests. At this period I was scarcely disturbed by the inflexibility of his nature, for all Mauretanians acquire with time something of the nature of an automaton. This characteristic is particularly marked in their glance, and so the eyes of the Chief Ranger, too, - especially when he laughed - gleamed with terrifying mirth. Like those of hardened drinkers, they were touched with a red flame, but expressed both cunning and unshakable power - yes, at times even majesty. Then we took pleasure in his company and lived in arrogance at the table of the great ones of the world.

Later I was to hear Brother Otho say of our Mauretanian period that mistakes become errors only when persisted in. It was a saying that gained in truth for me when I thought back to our position when this Order attracted us. There are periods of decline when the pattern fades to which our inmost life must conform. When we enter upon them we sway and lose our balance. From hollow joy we sink to leaden sorrow, and past and future acquire a new charm from our sense of loss. So we wander aimlessly in the irretrievable past or in distant Utopias; but the fleeting moment we cannot grasp.

As soon as we had become aware of this failure we strove to free ourselves. We felt a longing for actuality, for reality, and would have plunged into ice or fire or ether only to rid ourselves of weariness. As always when despair and maturity combine, we turned to power - for is that not the eternal pendulum that drives on the hand of time by day or night? So we began to dream of power and domination, and of the forms that in bold array advance to combat in the deadly struggle for existence, whether the outcome be disaster or triumphant victory. We studied them with the pleasure one finds in watching corrosions form as acid bites into dark mirrors of polished metal. Such being our inclination, it was inevitable that the Mauretanians should seek us out. Our sponsor was the Condottiere who had put down the rising in the Iberian provinces.

Anyone acquainted with the history of the secret Orders knows that their ramifications are difficult to assess. Similarly it is common knowledge with what fertility they form branches and colonies, so that attempts to trace them down end in a maze. For the Mauretanians too this held good. To the newcomer it was particularly strange to see in their meeting-places members of deadly hostile groups in friendly conversation. Among the aims of the Mauretanians was artistry in the dealings of this world. They demanded that power should be exercised dispassionately as by a god, and correspondingly its schools produced a race of spirits who were bright, untrammelled, but always terrible. Similarly, whether their duties lay in insurrection or in order, wherever they won the day they won it as Mauretanians, and the proud "Semper victrix" of this Order applied not only to its members, but to its head and fount of doctrine. Immovable among the wild currents of the times he stood, and in his residences and palaces one was on firm ground.

It was not because we enjoyed peace, however, that we willingly spent our time with them. When man loses his props fear begins to sway him, and he is driven along blindly in its whirlwinds. But with the Mauretanians absolute stillness reigned, as in the heart of a cyclone. They say that if one falls headlong into an abyss one sees things in the minutest detail as though through a crystal-clear lens. This - without the fear - was the vision that one acquired in the air of Mauretania, in an atmosphere which was poisoned through and through. At the very moment when terror reigned, coolness of thought and spiritual detachment increased. In the face of catastrophe good-humour was everywhere, and they would jest at it like the keeper of a gaming-table at the losses of his clients.

Then I saw clearly that the panic whose shadows always lie over our great towns has its counterpart in the cool audacity of the few who circle like birds of prey over inarticulate suffering. Once when we were drinking with the Condottiere he looked into his wine-dewed glass as if it were a mirror that held the images of times long past; then he said pensively: “No glass of noble wine was more precious than the one they handed to us beside our machines the night we burned Saguntum to the ground." Then we thought: It is better to fall with him than live with those who grovel in the dust from fear.” (pages 24 - 27)
