warnings: smut, oral (f and m receiving), p in v

notes: seeing that video, did things to me, my first smut so please be gentle!! Comment your thoughts please also please pretend that you don’t need to be a celebrity to see others

You were in Amsterdam for a work trip, discussing business with possible new clients. The client that was scheduled on your last day, canceled the meeting the night before, because of some emergency that came up, so you being bored in your hotel room during the early afternoon, you checked Raya. You downloaded the app with your friends back in London to see who comes up and check out celebrities that had a profile there. You weren’t big on dating apps, you had Tinder but only to make fun of the jerks that were registered.

Nothing serious ever came out of the dates you had, Raya was your new hope. Maybe going on dates with celebrities would be better, maybe they wouldn’t be such idiots, in the end, you could always talk to tabloids and tell them what an asshole he was. They knew that risk and they wouldn’t just send dickpics out of the blue.

Going through the profiles you found some Instagram celebrities, but non caught your eye, you could clearly see the fuckboy in them.

You almost wanted to close the app, but saw a brown-haired boy named Lando Norris. You followed Formula One and watched as many races as you could, always keeping a close eye on the younger drivers, who just looked absolutely delicious. With Lando getting P2 in Silverstone and Hungary, you shifted your attention to him, stalking him on Instagram and finding him legs clenching sexy. You never would’ve thought you would find him on such an app. He could just scroll on his Instagram followers, chose a random person, and hit her up, she would open her legs in seconds, not that you were any different.

You clicked through his pictures, a black and white one of him looking like the dessert he is, one of him partying, and one of him with his friends and pulling a weird face. The three pictures showed his personality perfectly. Sexy, outgoing, and funny. You analyzed the profile further, looking at his profession which said, Formula One driver, age twenty four, wasn’t he twenty three? After a quick Google search, you checked that he was indeed twenty three years old. Lando Norris cheating his age, you saw what he was doing.

Visiting Amsterdam from London, just like you.

You didn’t hesitate for a second but clicked straight on the heart, hoping that maybe he liked you as well and before you could blink, a page popped up, and the words: ’You and Lando like each other!‘ flew across your screen.

You couldn’t believe it, he liked you as well. What? How?

What should you do now? Text him? Ignore it? You couldn’t ignore him. Meeting Lando was a one in a million chance. You wondered what he was like in real life, was he as funny as he appeared in all of the videos? You tapped on his chat and thought about what you wanted to say. Something sweet? Something funny? Something flirty? Or did you text him something about Formula One? You were about to exit the app and text your best friend, but then you saw a bubble appear, indicating that he was typing.

/////////////////// Meanwhile at Lando’s //////////////////////

He sat in his hotel room watching something random on Netflix when his phone made a sound, a sound that he specifically set for Raya. He removed his eyes from his MacBook and took his phone in his hand, he recognized your name from earlier. He looked for some fun on Raya, wanting a quick fuck to forget the busy weeks he had. So when he scrolled through the profiles and found yours, he was kind of drooling. You looked stunning in the pictures you put up, one of you in a park, sitting on a blanket and enjoying the sun, the next one was you, sitting on some random stairs in front of a house you found in Notting Hill and the last one was one of you sitting in front of a cake, made for your birthday. A big pink twenty two was piped on the white frosting while you smiled at the cake. You were surprised by the whole day your friends had prepared for you. Due to you moving to London for your job, you had no one at first, because of your job you got to know a lot of people and some stuck with you, surprising you for your birthday.

You looked super hot in all of your photos, choosing them with a laugh with your friends, saying how many creeps were going to slide in your dms.

So when Lando read: ’You and Y/N like each other!‘, he didn’t waste a second of not answering you. He thought you were perfect, from London and in his age range and not ugly. Lando clicked on the private chat and typed in his usual message, every time he used this, not one girl said no.

Hey there! You look absolutely gorgeous

What are you up to babygirl?

You almost let out a scream. He was a flirt, a big one. What should you do? Text your best friend and ask for help or just handle this like a pro and see what the outcome is. You decided to go for the second, if he wanted to meet up, then it was because of you and your texting and not because of your best friend that basically wrote the text for you. So you replied to him, if he was flirty, you would be too.

Hiya Handsome

Not much, chilling in my hotel room

What about you?

You wanted to keep the conversation going, so you obviously wanted to know what he was up to. If someone would have told you weeks ago, that you would be texting with Lando Norris on your Amsterdam business trip, you would have laughed at the person. You dreaded this trip, of course, it was fun traveling at the cost of the company but it was also lonely. Maybe texting Lando wasn’t that bad after all, he could be your company for the last day.

You didn’t have to wait too long for a reply from him, after seconds he had read the message and the bubble appeared again. He was not only fast at driving then.

The same

I‘m bored as hell

What are you doing tonight?

Oh god. What now? That was practically him asking you if you were free later. Of course, you were but that was not him asking for a date where he would kiss you on the cheek good night. That was him asking for a quickie and you knew it. But would you still meet him? Obviously! It’s not every day you get to meet one of your celebrity crushes.

Not much, had a client meeting but he canceled so now I‘m free

Thought about going out and seeing the city but am not sure, they said that rain is coming later

Why you asking?

You knew why he was asking, but you wanted to seem innocent. In your head you already started planning your outfit, you had a lot of serious outfits for work and barely anything nice to wear for a non formal meeting. But you were so happy you packed some lingerie, you had to because almost all of your normal non sexy underwear was in the laundry, which you forgot to put into the washing machine. Typical you.

It’s my lucky day then

The clouds are already really dark, seems like you can’t go out tonight :(

Wanna come to my hotel and maybe we could order some food? I‘m kinda craving some McDonald’s

You seem lovely

And it happened. What are you gonna do now? In the end, he was still a stranger, someone you did not know. He could be fully different from what you saw and knew of him on the internet. Oh god, what if he had some weird kinks and was going to pee on you or something? You just hoped he was normal in and out of bed. And McDonald's? Isn’t he an athlete that had to follow some strict diet? Did fastfood even fit in there? What were you going to answer to the ’you seem lovely‘? That was probably something he texted every girl, so you chose to ignore it for now.

That’s a bummer

You could be a serial killer and kill me before I get the chance of saying goodbye to my loved ones, but McDonald’s does sound nice

But does it fit into your strict diet, mister McLaren’s number one driver?

Were you actually going to meet him? You needed advice from your best friend. She knew what to do, you were sure, she always did. In the end, she was one of the humans that pressured you into downloading that app in the first place.

The serial killer existence is not giving me the kick as it used to, so don’t worry, I‘m over it

I also don’t have any more space for the corpse in my basement

McDonald’s it is then

Someone did their googling, I see

It’s the break, I can do what I want

Also, my trainer will not know about this, and what he doesn’t know, he won’t get mad over

Are you still there?

Hello?

Babygirl

Where did you go

The serial killer text was only meant as a joke, I would never do something like that, it would ruin my career

You chuckled, did he really think you were scared by the obvious sarcastic text? Cute.

If you retired from the serial killer being, then fine

I watch you drive around in circles every weekend, don’t get your hopes up, I didn’t google you

And what if I already texted your trainer and told Jon about this? ;)

Are we impatient? Am I that special that you can’t go a minute without me? Atta boy

You let out a sigh, it’s official now. You were going to meet up with Lando Norris. Then you could see how he really was and compare him to all the fan fictions you‘ve read. You really needed to sort out some outfit.

You comin‘? That’s sweet

So I got myself a fangirl? Just don’t be a Max Verstappen lover, I want you to be on my side

And if you did text him, you will get punished later ;)

You are gorgeous, just wanted to make sure that I was the only one inviting you for dinner tonight

Oh god, hallelujah. Now you kinda wanted to text Jon and see what his punishment looks like. You could feel the heat and the pulsating between your legs already and you haven’t even talked with him face to face yet. You needed to get there soon.

Sure, I always take a free meal, sent me your address? :)

Nah, I actually like George Russell but he didn’t answer me on Instagram… :(

So you‘ll do it

Now I kind of want to text him and see what that means… maybe I’ll send him a picture of you biting into a burger later

And no, no competition for you

Ah btw, what’s the dress code? I didn’t pack much fancy clothing except for my work stuff. Are we thinking sweats? Or else I’m gonna turn up in a work dress

The George Russell comment was made up, you never texted him but wanted to play a little with Lando. You didn’t know how to put the dress question in a flirty comment, you weren’t even sure if he was actually trying to get you into his bed. Maybe he was just looking for someone to accompany him for eating McDonald’s.

It’s the Hilton in Amsterdam, there‘s only one

I‘ll send you someone to pick you up, don’t worry

And that’s sad, I can’t get George to come here so quickly, guess I’ll be your only company tonight

Do it and you won’t be able to walk tomorrow

Please come in your sweats!! That’s the most comfortable for eating McDonald’s and chilling, besides, I won’t look at them when they‘re laying on the floor, so put on whatever you feel comfortable in

Yep, that was not just an ’I‘m bored’ dinner. Alright. You could feel your panties getting slightly damped when you stood up and walked to your suitcase. Fishing out dark grey sweatpants and a white crop top. You needed to shower before you went there, get cleaned up, and shave. What color of lingerie would you put on? You had no idea, maybe you should ask him since he‘s also not subtle about dropping hints about where this night would lead.

That’s nice, thank you!! What time will he be here?

Alright alright, sweats it is then, what color are we thinking for lingerie? I have some red, blue, yellow, burgundy and white

You were bold here, that wasn’t normally your case of flirting but he was just as forward as you were, so why hold back? And you really needed help choosing the color. What if he didn’t like yellow?

He‘ll be at yours at 6:30 pm if traffic is alright

Baby, I won’t make it through dinner if I know what you‘re wearing underneath

You‘re making things very hard for me already and I haven’t even touched you yet

But I love the color blue, babygirl

Put on whatever you feel comfortable in

He was the sweetest even while flirting. And him sending you a driver? Was this the princess treating your father always talked about when you were younger? But you were sure he didn’t have in mind what was coming for you after dinner if you would eat dinner before the sports session Lando had planned.

I‘ll see what I can do then

See you later handsome ;)

You hoped into the shower, washing your skin twice with the summer like smelling shower gel. Peeling your skin to make it super soft as well as shaving every hair you saw. You knew that men shouldn’t care if you had hairs on your body or not, but you felt better if you did. You were also happy, that you washed your hair yesterday evening so you did not have to worry about it now.

It was very difficult, to not touch yourself. The pressure that build up down there was almost unbearable, but you wanted to wait for Lando, it was his job now to make you feel good, you just hoped 6:30 pm would come soon.

When you got out of the shower you dried your body and tapped the screen of your phone, it was 4:48 pm. Enough time to get your makeup done and stress yourself. So before you did anything else, you applied some body cream to make your skin super silky.

Now sitting down in front of the hotel window with your travel mirror in hand, you started on your makeup. You didn’t want to overdo it and ruin this night, but you also wanted to look like something. So you did a light makeup, only applying products that weren’t heavy on your skin and looked almost natural.

The next time you took your phone in your hands to check the time it was 5:29 pm. Only an hour. You could do that. You decided to text your best friend the new details.

So you did just that, applying Parfum on your ankles, between your thighs, and even spritzed some behind your ear. You just hoped he would like your Parfum. Packing together some things you would possibly need for sleeping over. New underwear, makeup remover, your face cream, and your phone charger, you doubt he had two. You put on your sweats and the crop top over the blue lingerie, was that even the right thing? Meeting up with him just for a quickie? He won’t remember you by next week, did you really want to go through that? You would get attached to him and he is never going to text you.

The next time you tapped on your phone it was 6:24 pm, you spent the last twenty minutes wandering around in the hotel room trying to get rid of the butterflies you felt. It was exciting meeting up with someone when you knew you would have a good night, ending it with pleasure. So you gathered everything and made your way downstairs to the lobby, you waited there for a car to roll up to your hotel.

When a black Mercedes rolled up, you made your way outside and the driver got out of his car.

”Are you Miss Y/N Y/L/N? I am here to pick you up on Mister Norris‘ behalf.“

”That’s me, thank you.“

You got into the car and waited for him to start driving, he wasn’t very talkative which you were thankful for, the nerves were getting the best of you, and you weren’t sure if you would even be able to talk a normal sentence without stuttering.

When you arrived at the hotel, the driver turned to you.

”I wish you both a good evening. His room is number 1283, the left elevator and then you need to press button twelve for the twelfth floor.“

”Thank you so much for picking me up!“

With that, your door got opened and you looked at the person with a disturbed look, seeing that it was only a Portier you relaxed. You weren’t used to this luxury. Thanking the guy that opened your door, you got out and went into the hotel to the left elevator, pressing floor twelve. The doors closed and you looked at yourself in the mirror one last time. This was really happening. Before you knew it, the doors opened and you stood on the twelfth floor, now you only needed to find room number 1283. You followed the signs that were everywhere on the walls and a minute later you stood in front of the door.

With a thumping heart, you knocked at the door waiting for Lando to open it.

He answered with a big smile and tousled hair, he was dressed in some black sweats and a black T-shirt, looking handsome as ever.

”Hey, come in.“

”Hi, thank you.“

You stepped in and Lando opened his arms for a hug. Hugging before fucking, alright. He loosened the hug and his eyes scanned your body.

”You look absolutely gorgeous, Baby. Even better than on your pictures.“

”Thank you, but you aren’t that bad either, you look very handsome, I like your hair like this.“

”Yeah?“

You nodded.

What now? The sexual tension was already unbearable, you wouldn’t survive dinner. You both were practically eye fucking the other.

”Let’s sit down first?“

”Sure!“

With that you went to the cream-colored couch, sitting on it and having the perfect view over Amsterdam.

”But if you are a serial killer, do tell me. At least I want to say goodbye to my family.“

You had no idea what you were saying, you wanted to lighten up the situation but what should you do?

”Nah don’t worry, not anymore. And you‘re here for work? I read you’re from London?“

”Yes, had some meetings with clients. I moved there for my work, I love it there. And what about you? Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be in some exotic place for holiday?“

”Kinda, I visited Tomorrowland yesterday to see my friend Martin Garrix and tomorrow I have tire testing for Pirelli, so no holiday for me just yet.“

”Ah that’s fun, what are you doing for the holiday?“

”I rented a yacht for my friends and family, you should come!“

”Oh, yeah“, you blushed, ”let’s see if I still want to see you after tonight, maybe you have a small dick.“ you smirked. You wanted to get to the point of why you were here. The wet panty proofing it to you, dinner could wait, the wetness between your legs not.

He looked at you with an open mouth.

”Me and a small dick? Baby, you have no idea what’s coming.“

With that, he put his hand on your thigh dangerously close to your core. You let out a shaky breath.

”The thing is, I joked about not making it until dinner, but I really don’t think I can resist you that long, knowing you’re probably wearing sexy lingerie under your sweats and crop top.“

You could see his eyes getting a shade darker than they were when you first saw him.

”Why don’t you find out for yourself?“, you wanted to sound sexy and just prayed to whatever lord, that it did.

And before you could think about it for another second, he took you and placed you in his lap, putting his hands on your waist. His lips looked absolutely delicious, you wanted to taste them, feel them on yours. As if Lando could hear your thoughts, he pressed his lips on yours, moving them, and slipped his tongue into your mouth searching for yours. You let out a quiet moan and nudged his tongue with yours. Your hands found their way into his hair, slightly pulling on the strands, hoping that that was something he was into.

Your lips creating the loudest sounds, every time they smacked together, taking deep breaths in between. Lando left your mouth and his kisses wandered slowly down your neck, leaving a trail of wetness behind (not only on your neck) and he slightly bit the skin of the side. Without you realizing it, you moved your hips against his, dryhumping him. Lando’s hands wandered under your crop top and slowly pulled the material up, to remove it, you held your arms up to make it easier for him. When the dark blue lace appeared, he let out a breath.

”Fuck babe, you’re killing me. Even better than I imagined.“

You could just hum because he immediately attached his lips to your chest, sucking on the skin that was now freed. That felt so fucking good. Your hands went back into his hair, attaching themselves to the brown curls.

”Le-Let me“, you pressed out, wanting to explore his neck as well. That was one thing you always found sexy, his thick neck, you wanted to touch and kiss it and now you finally could.

He let go of your chest and looked at you with big eyes, you pressed a kiss on his lips and did the same then he did minutes prior. Wandering down his neck and slightly sucking, you didn’t want to leave a hickey but some sucking never hurt anyone. Satisfied with what you did, you let go of his skin and licked over the said area, feeling him shivering under you. You could also feel something hard under you, and if you were correct you wouldn’t be disappointed. It felt the right way, thick and long enough but not too long.

With a quick heartbeat, you left his lap and slowly made your way in front of him, you wanted to see for yourself if you were correct. So you sank to your knees and looked up at him through your lashes, he groaned and his head fell backwards.

”Fuck babygirl, you make it so hard for me, I could just burst right now.“

”I make things hard for you? Oh Lando, trust me, I know.“

With that, your hand slipped across his bulge, giving it a gentle squeeze. His eyes focused on you again, he could almost see how hungry you looked at his dick as if it would be your last meal.

”I want this off.“

You tucked at his sweats, impatient to finally get to his member you haven’t met yet.

”Impatient are we?“, Lando acted all cocky now, but you both knew, that when you touched his dick with your delicate hands, he would turn into a puddle. With that, he lifted his hips and you were able to pull the sweats down, seeing him wearing no underwear.

”No underwear?“, you asked with crooked eyebrows.

”Figured I didn’t need them since you were going to remove them anyway.“

When his sweats was finally pulled lower to where his dick was, his member sprung towards you, he wasn’t fully hard yet but you could work with that. You gave his sweats the last pull and they were pooling at his feet, you immediately got to work. Not wasting a second of not touching him, you grabbed his member, which laid heavy in your head, and let a thread of saliva fall onto his head, moving your hand up and down, spread the fluid evenly, feeling him hardening with every stroke you gave him.

”You‘re killing me. That feels so fucking nice.“

The praise made you smile. At least he felt satisfied, that was already good.

”Put it in your mouth babygirl.“

So you did just that, you opened your mouth and gave it a long lick, from the bottom, to the tip. Your lips closed around his head, circling it with your tongue. Looking up, he had an open mouth and his eyes looked satisfied, you wanted to do more, slowly taking his member down your throat. Lando let out a moan and reached into your hair with his hand, making a messy ponytail to hold on to.

When you reached your limit, you grabbed the rest of his dick with your hands, following the movements you did with your mouth.

”Fuck baby, that’s enough, or else I‘m going to cum down your throat, I want to taste you first.“

With an unsatisfied hum, you let go of his dick and pouted.

”Let me take you to the bed.“

You nodded and he pulled you back onto his lap, standing up as if you weight nothing and walking with you into the bedroom. The bedroom was nicely decorated and from the window, you could see a beautiful sunset, but that wasn’t something you wanted to pay attention to. He sat you down on the soft bed and you shifted to the end of his bed, laying your head on his pillow. You inhaled the scent that came across your nostrils, fully smelling Lando. If you wouldn’t be up to different things right now, you would turn around and never stop sniffing his pillow. Was that creepy? Probably.

”You need to tell me, when I need to stop, yeah?“

You nodded, not being able to say anything, excited for what was about to happen. He laid on his chest between your legs, tugging your own sweats down. With a groan he let his head fall onto your thigh, seeing your lace panty made him weak in the knee, thank god he was laying down.

”Did you put Parfum on your legs? God baby, you‘re so fucking sexy.“

”You like it?“

”Are you kidding? Fuck yes.“

He placed kisses on your thighs, and with each kiss, he got closer to where you needed him the most.

”I can smell you from here baby.“

You propped up your legs and he removed your panty with a swift move. Seeing your glistening core, he almost drooled.

”You‘re so fucking wet and I didn’t even touch you properly yet.“

”Ever since you texted me, I was almost not able to resist touching myself.“

”Fuck Baby.“

Before you could respond he licked with his flat tongue over your pussy, collecting most of the wetness that left your core already.

”You taste so sweet, Angel.“

With a groan you placed your hands in his hair, pulling on the strands again.

He flicked your bud of nerves several times then went back to toy with your entrance. A moan escaped your mouth when he inserted his tongue inside of you and with his nose he nudged your clit.

”Lan-“

”Go on, cum for me Y/N.“

Without a warning he inserted his pointer and middle finger into you and focused on your clit with his tongue, moving everything in a rhythm together.

”Fuck Lando, I‘m gonn-“, and before you could finish that sentence, your back arched and the pleasure washed over you, leaving a pulsating feeling in your core. With one last lick, Lando got up and positioned himself over you, his face glistening with your juices.

When he pressed a kiss on your lips you could taste yourself and let out a groan.

”Your skin is so fucking soft Y/N“, Lando said while he caressed your sides.

”Are you ready to take me?“

You just nodded, not being able to say a word. He already made you feel so good and he wasn’t even in you yet, you needed him, you needed him bad.

”I need you, Lan.“

”Good girl. Do you have a condom?“

”No but I‘m on birth control, you don’t have to use one, as long as you’re clean.“

”I sure am.“

His dick twitched at the thought of feeling you without a rubber, the skin on skin contact making him feral.

Taking his cock in his hand, and moved his tip through your folds, wetting his member. He looked you in the eye, silently asking you if you were ready. You nodded your head and pulled his head to yours to press a kiss on his lips, which he returned, sucking your lower lip into his mouth before pulling back and focusing on the cock in his hand. Slowly pushing his tip to your entrance, you closed your legs around his back and nudged him to push more into you. He slowly slid fully in you, as you gasped at the new sensation and felt full. He filled you up perfectly, it was like you were made for each other, stretching you in all the right places. He stood still and waited for your nod of approval to move. You clenched around his cock.

”Fuck Y/N, do that one more time and I won’t be able to hold back.“

You giggled and nodded your head, indicating him that he could move. He pulled his dick out and forcefully pushed him back in. You both moaned at the sensation.

”I hope you know how good you feel, it’s amazing.“

Your eyes rolled in the back of your head at this compliment. You loved this dirty talk he did, complimenting you. He took his hand and started to play with your clit while still pounding in you. You could feel yourself getting dizzy, the new stimulation giving you the perfect pleasure.

”Fuck Lando, you’re making me feel so full.“

He grunted at that statement. Speeding up with his movements, as well as rubbing and flicking your clit. Your moans getting higher with every thrust.

You could feel your release getting closer.

”Lando, I‘m gonna cu-”

”Baby cum for me.“

With that you felt your inside snap and the orgasm taking over your body, your eyes rolling in the back of your head and your legs started shaking. While you were on your high, Lando went and left kisses on your neck, slightly sucking, leaving faint purple bruises behind.

When you came back down you focused on Lando, clenching around him, trying to get him to cum as well. Sinking your nails into his shoulders and leaving little crescent moons on his skin, they would probably still be seen tomorrow. He groaned and his head fell down on your shoulder, panting. You could feel him painting your insides white, you moaned at the feeling.

”Fuck darling, you feel so good.“

He did some last thrusts to ride out his orgasm and then almost let all of his weight fall down on you. Your hands immediately went into his hair, stroking it while he still had his now softened dick inside of you. He lifted his head and pressed his lips on yours, moving them and creating smacking sounds.

Slowly pulling out, you could feel his and your mixed cum dribbling out of you, enjoying this sensation, Lando sat up and swiped his thumb over your labia, liking how it looked. He wiped his cum covered thumb on the white bed sheet.

”I‘d love to stay here with you, but I need to pee. It’s not very romantic but I don’t even wanna know what happens if I don’t.“

You sat up and Lando replied with a: ”Yes, please go, it’s important. I don’t want you getting a bladder infection after having mind blowing sex.“

You scoffed and got up, ”Mind blowing?“

”What is that supposed to mean?“

You turned around looking into his face, you both were smiling brightly, still having that post sex glow, but also because you joked about the sex you just had. It was fantastic. You started walking towards the en-suite bathroom.

”You were good Lando, but mind blowing? I don’t know.“

”My cum dribbling down your thigh is saying something else.“

You blushed and looked down at your thigh, seeing the white drips rolling from your core. You didn’t know what to say to that and went to the toilet to do your thing. Returning just shortly after, you sat in the bed next to him.

”You want to order some McDonald’s and stay over?“

Part two

[jujuicykaisen]

WHAT THE FU, your profile pic is GLORIOUS! MUAH! So the un reciprocated love HCs are great and they inspired me to ask this. What if Gojo decided to play matchmaker and much to Nanami's chagrin, he actually matched him up with the perfect person?

BEHOLD, Nanami's glorious tatas~

Characters: Kento Nanami

Contents: Gojo fuckery, matchmaking, gn!reader,

Kento Nanami

If you were to suggest to Nanami for him to let Gojo set him up with someone, he would give you a stare that could wither your entire bloodline. (That's his real innate technique.) He wants to marry and settle down one day, but not while working as a jujutsu sorcerer, and he certainly doesn't need matchmaking as another avenue for Gojo to get on his nerves.

To his chagrin, Gojo's attempts to set him up with someone seem to be genuine. Nanami expected to be set up with toothless pensioners, unwashed swamp goblins, or just straight up cursed spirits.

Even when it becomes clear this isn't the case, Nanami resists. He doesn't need Gojo meddling in his life, especially when he isn't ready to enter a relationship at the current time—

Ah.

His resolve lurches and crumbles a bit when Gojo drapes an arm over his shoulder, ignoring Nanami's request for personal space, and flashes a his phone in Nanami's face. There's a picture on the screen, and despite himself, Nanami can't help but give it a certain look.

There you are, smiling out of the screen at him. There's something about you. A certain look in your eye, the way the sunlight hits your face in the picture. It snags on Nanami's heart and won't let him pull away quite that easily. Not without feeling the sting.

What does he do? He pretends to relent so that "Gojo will get off my back". Whether or not Gojo suspects Nanami is actually interested is another matter entirely. Nanami can be pretty hard to read when he wants to be, so he might just have got away with it.

The date is set, the notification is in Nanami's digital calendar. Fate has been set on its course, and there's no going back now.

Nanamin's still going into this date riddled with suspicions. Gojo's the one who set this up, so there's got to be a catch. What if he meets you and you're actually fifty years older than your photo? What if you turn out to be a curse wearing a human skin? What if you have a moral objection to bathing? Despite a composed exterior, Nanami's stomach is tying itself into knots on the inside.

Despite that, he shows up on time, suit and tie, flowers in hand. Even if he suspects it might be a trap, Nanami will not be caught lacking.

His breath catches in his throat a little when you walk into the restaurant—some little Italian place, because he ignored Gojo's suggestion of taking you to laser tag—and you look exactly like you did in your photo. No, better. There's something even more appealing about you in person, with your features animated and lit up as you approach him. He has to restrain himself from reaching out to give a Business Handshake™ because that's what he defaults to when he's nervous.

"It's good to meet you," he says, passing the—tasteful, expensive—flowers into your delighted arms. "I'll admit, I'm surprised you agreed to this, considering who was behind it."

From there, it's an easy step into sharing outrageous Gojo stories, of which you both have plenty. (Somewhere far away, Gojo sneezes.) It's all easy. Almost too easy, though Nanami is slowly letting go of his suspicions on a tide of sparkling conversation, sparkling wine, and thankfully-not-sparkling but still delicious pasta.

You're funny. Gorgeous. Intelligent. Your future goals and values line up nicer than the rows of a well-balanced Excel spreadsheet, and Nanami's both thrilled and a little nervous to realise just how much he likes you.

He really, really likes you, and even as he sets up another date with you, adding you both to the Google Calendar invite, he realises one important thing:

Gojo's never going to shut up about this, is he?

That bookshop, florist, bakery post going around made me think about this. Im gonna write something about all of them, but first I was thinking about owning a florists where Dynamight is your best customer.

Thinking about Pro-Hero Dynamight who is still very much a bachelor in his late twenties, and his PR team decide it’s time to try to fix his crass image by setting him up on a date with a famous influencer online.

Bakugou’s got no idea what she does, outside the few photos he was provided by his team and the videos that Sero sent him after he broke the news over beers that weekend. Needless to say he’s not happy with the situation, but with another negative story all over the front pages of tabloids and circulating the internet he’s got no choice but to try and fix the mess he landed himself in.

So he turns up at your quaint little flower shop close to closing time, the small bell ringing to signal his entry as you look up from the flowers you’re preparing to take home for yourself for the day. Eyes widening in surprise when you see the Pro-Hero Dynamight standing in your tiny shop in full hero costume. He mumbles that he needs to buy some flowers, and you’re trying to help him pick a bunch. Asking whether it’s for a birthday, celebration or maybe a gift for his mother.

“How about that one?” He points to the flower arrangement you’d just finished wrapping for yourself as you smile.

“Maybe she’d prefer a different combination if it’s for a first date?” You know a lot of the flowers arranged in your bouquet aren’t often favourites, “Maybe some carnations, or even a single rose?”

“Nah, they’re perfect.” He slams some notes onto your desk, far more than is necessary for the arrangement as you hurry to try and give him his change. But he’s already out the door, waving you off as he fists the flowers in a gloved palm.

The sight has you smiling as you watch him through the window, carrying the flowers at the end of his large grenade, following behind him to lock the shop for the night.

And you don’t expect him to come back, but he does. This time asking for different arrangements as you smile and ask if the date went well (which clearly it did if he’s asking for more flowers). Trying to ignore the ache in your chest as though you’d ever stood a chance in the first place as you busy yourself with making the arrangement he requested. Feeling his crimson gaze sear into you as you begin to wrap and tie the flowers, handing them off to him as he once again pays you far more than twice what they’re worth.

Dynamight quickly becomes your best customer, unbeknownst to him keeping you in business even when times are hard and your rent is overdue. Even coming in for flowers for his mothers birthday and Mother’s Day.

You hate the morbid curiosity that eats at you when you google his name, wanting to see the woman that he’s gifting the flowers to (as you wish it was you), and when you scroll through them on social media it looks like she really was the one to tame Pro-Hero Dynamight and have him settle down.

There are days Bakugou just comes in to see you, telling you that your shop is on his patrol route (even though he’s detoured six blocks away from it to get here) just to ask about your day.

The irony that he’s been forced into a high profile relationship to boost his ratings when he feels like he’s found all he’s looking for in a quaint little flower shop in Musutafu. He wants to tell you how he feels, that he hasn’t been gifting these bouquets to her and they’re instead blooming around his apartment. The scent of them reminding him of you at every second, allowing him to fool himself that you’re there with him. But he can’t.

The contract he signed burns through his skin as he regrets ever signing the stupid piece of paper, and he’s so close to the number one position he can taste it. The only issue is now the influencer is trying to push for proposals and engagements, and he’s still not number one.

His PR team assure him that the plan is working, that he’ll hit the number one spot and then the break up will be amicable on both sides.

So instead, he just keeps buying flowers.

But as he lies awake in bed at night staring at the ceiling, he wonders whether that’s even want he really wants anymore.

Because now all he can think about is you.

french ghost making a return because. well i don’t have a reason just because. but this one’s a proper AU

anyway johnny taking a vacation in the south of france just… to get away from things for a while. it’s been a month or so since a bad break up of a long term relationship, and he felt like he might implode if he didn’t do something.

the problem is, he hardly speaks french. barely enough to get by with simple phrases, certain his pronunciation is horrible. but even so, he makes the stupid decision of setting up a dating profile with a google-translated bio just to see… just to see.

that’s how he meets simon. somehow, through (surely) poorly-translated texts, they get to know each other in brief, until johnny says fuck it and agrees to a date far too quickly because he has nothing better to do.

even if it goes horribly wrong when he has to admit to not knowing french—whether or not simon knows any english.

johnny sits nervously at the small, local restaurant that had been chosen, wringing his hands in wait for simon. he had gotten there too early, he knows, but he needed that push or else he might not have come at all. but then simon arrives, even better in person than the photos of his own profile.

simon joins johnny with a shy smile on his face, greeting him with a quiet salut before… continuing in english.

if johnny weren’t so blindsided by its use, he knows he’d be absolutely enamoured with simon’s accent. instead, he sits wide-eyed, staring at simon while his heart pounds in his ears.

“how did you know?” johnny eventually manages to ask.

simon laughs softly, a fucking wonderful sound. “i could tell from your messages,” he says. “but i didn’t want to ruin your fun.”

from there, the night goes smoothly (more than smoothly, in fact, being that it ends with johnny in simon’s bed… but that’s his own business)—they chat about any and everything, simon teaches him a few words and phrases, and johnny tells simon about his home, why he’s in france.

they spend nearly the entirety of the rest of johnny’s trip together—johnny doesn’t think he’s ever felt a connection with anyone like this before, not even with his previous ex. it’s bitter when he eventually has to leave, having to bid simon farewell without ever knowing if they’d see each other again, if this could ever be anything more than a holiday fling.

(they will meet again though, of course. after all, johnny still has to learn french somehow. and what better way than through experience?)

The good, the bad and the ugly: Clint Eastwood’s interview debacle reveals bleak truths about film journalism

An Austrian newspaper ran an interview with the cinema legend which he denied ever giving. What actually happens in the world of movie reporting can be yet more murky

It is no surprise that Austrian newspaper Kurier’s Clint Eastwood interview went viral over the weekend. An audience with a 95-year-old film legend containing stern words about the current state of cinema was always going to go like a rocket. Particularly during cinema’s dregs season: the thin period post Cannes and pre the summer proper, with Mission: Impossible fever fading fast and Lilo & Stitch ruling the box office – a success from which only so many stories can be spun.

Further evidence of this thinness comes from a quick scan of the news stories run over the past week in some of the trade magazines – Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, Screen International – who must keep producing them, regardless of actual material. These include a write-off of an interview in which Michael Cera says he didn’t think Jackie Chan knew who he was when they first met, Renée Zellweger revealing that she shed a tear shooting the Bridget Jones film that was released last February and – an exclusive, this – a report that Bill Murray will appear at a film festival in Croatia. Against this backdrop, Eastwood telling younger directors to buck up is, basically, Watergate.

Yet the waves the interview made do appear to have come as a surprise to the publication in which it ran. And, in a way, that itself is no surprise, for most of the apparatus of film journalism remains weirdly rooted in a pre-internet era, one in which Google translate doesn’t exist and 18 sets of roundtable interviews, conducted over at least a decade, can feasibly be spun into a new article – which Kurier’s defence of the piece does indeed suggest is kind of OK.

What the paper does regret, according to its statement, is suggesting it was an “interview” rather than a “birthday profile”, implying that the writer, Elisabeth Sereda, mis-sold them her access – which is why they will no longer be working with her.

Perhaps this is true? If so, it raises some further questions. Interviews of this nature generally involve considerably more back and forth (say 150 emails) between a commissioning editor, writer, picture editors, film publicist, personal publicist and more. Assuming none of these happened, it still feels concerning that the paper never confirmed when, where or how Sereda spoke to such a major, reticent – and elderly – star.

More confusingly, as well as describing its writer’s approach to quote-gathering as basically kosher, Kurier’s statement goes on to further tout her credentials. Sereda, it says, “has been in the Hollywood business for decades, conducting interviews with the biggest stars … Her closeness to them is undoubtedly well known.

“This is also due, among other things, to the fact that Sereda is a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the association that awards the Golden Globes and reports from Hollywood for international media.”

The Hollywood Foreign Press is a defunct organisation, disbanded in 2023 after decades of accusations of unprofessionalism, bribery and misconduct by some of its members – international showbiz writers of hazy credentials and uncertain identity.

The Golden Globes, which it did indeed dish out, were so discredited that they were boycotted by publicists, stars and broadcasters, and the association then had to issue multiple apologies for its lack of transparency and diversity (not a single black writer), before relaunching a couple of years ago.

Writers such as Sereda and many of the original members of the HFPA – like many film journalists, many of them reporters of integrity and expertise – rely to a greater or lesser extent on access granted at film festivals. This access is brief, chaotic and non-exclusive. When I worked for another publication 20-odd years ago, I remember being at such roundtables involving one or two stars and perhaps a dozen sharp-elbowed correspondents from countries across the world.

After a bruising 20 minutes, you would be left with a challenging tombola of quotes about, perhaps, an especially niche style of cinematography, whether the star might one day visit Latvia and a lot of bland waffle about how marvellous the director was. Getting a question of your own in was rare. Getting a good piece out of the results was rarer.

It is possible to make a living on such access, if you trot around all the festivals – Sundance, Berlin, Cannes, Venice, Toronto – and remain in favour with a couple of publications, and, most crucially, the publicists. A certain level of sycophancy is essential – and, happily, appears to be far from a stretch for many of the writers. Sereda’s Instagram page, for instance, is populated by wide-smiled selfies of her with assorted A-listers. These are posted in the event of a new interview, a new movie or their death.

Such unabashed celeb-worship is absolutely common practice in film journalism, even among the most respected Hollywood pundits. I remember one brilliant writer who would post a selfie with a recently deceased star with such speed after news broke of their death that the gesture morphed from the morbid into the faintly suspicious. Could it be that they were the common factor behind all these tragedies?

Thick skins, malleable standards and dribble: this is how a lot of this world works. Luckily, the Guardian is a publication with sufficient leverage that it does not need to rely on roundtable access – and would generally not accept it, unless for background, ahead of a 1:1. But much of the access that we are often offered and the circumstances of it is, still, sausage factory stuff: you probably don’t want to know.

That roundtables persist is evidence of how much the film industry remains wedded to print publicity. Twenty years ago, the same ragbag quotes appearing in an Austrian broadsheet as well as, say, a Swedish film quarterly and an Australian celebrity magazine, would have gone unnoticed. Today, it makes much less sense. But despite the primacy of streamers and, more broadly, the whole tech-revolution of the past two decades, online versions of articles are of much less concern to publicists than the print version.

Why? Because clients need presenting with something concrete, a hard glossy copy with a pre-approved photo of themselves on the cover – even if this is seen by perhaps 100th of the people who will read it online. That this is still the case is something I find very curious.

Yet maybe the clients are changing. It was, after all, none other than Eastwood himself who first flagged the dodginess of the Kurier article. He had, in fact, said all those things. He just hadn’t said them recently, or knowingly given an audience to that writer, for that newspaper.

A new interview with him would be gold-dust because Eastwood did not do press for his most recent movie, Juror #2, which went straight to streaming in the US, after rumours of a rift between the director and the incoming head of studio Warner, David Zaslav (Eastwood didn’t even show up to the premiere).

Was Eastwood – now shooting his new movie – concerned these historic quotes would be interpreted as a broadside against Zaslav? Or is he, in his 10th decade, simply paying more attention than the rest of us?

Kickstart Your Earnings with Content Writing: A Beginner’s Friendly Roadmap

If you’ve ever wondered how ordinary people turn their words into cash, content writing might be your sweet spot. You don’t need a fancy degree or decades of experience to get started. With some guidance, dedication, and a dash of creativity, you can start earning from content writing sooner than you think. This guide walks you through each step in a friendly, down‑to‑earth way so you’ll feel confident launching your freelance writing journey.

Why Content Writing Is a Great Starting Point Content writing covers everything from blog posts and web pages to social media captions and product descriptions. Businesses of all sizes need fresh, engaging words to connect with their audience, rank higher in search engines, and boost sales. As companies continue to invest in digital marketing, demand for quality content writers stays strong. Plus, you can work from anywhere, set your own hours, and choose projects that spark your interest.

Understanding the Basics of Earning from Content Writing At its core, earning from content writing means providing value through written words. Clients pay for:

Research that saves them time

SEO‑friendly copy that boosts visibility

Clear, engaging storytelling that connects with readers

Consistent output that maintains an active online presence

Your job is to become the go‑to person who delivers those benefits reliably.

Step 1: Identify Your Niche and Strengths While generalists can find work, specializing helps you stand out. Consider topics you enjoy or know well—travel, personal finance, health and wellness, tech, lifestyle, parenting, gaming, or education. Having a niche makes it easier to showcase your expertise and justify higher rates. If you’re a fitness buff who loves writing, focus on blogs and articles in that sphere. If you have a background in software, aim for tech how‑to guides.

Step 2: Build a Portfolio That Shows Your Skills Clients want proof you can write well. Even if you haven’t been paid yet, you can create sample pieces:

Start a personal blog or Medium page and publish 3 to 5 high‑quality articles in your niche.

Guest post on small blogs that accept submissions.

Rewrite or summarize existing news stories in your voice (clearly marked as samples).

Draft mock project pieces for imaginary clients—product descriptions, newsletters, or landing pages.

Organize these in a simple online portfolio. You can use free tools like Google Sites, Wix, or WordPress. Make sure each sample highlights your SEO skills by including relevant keywords naturally in titles and subheadings.

Step 3: Optimize Your Online Profiles for Visibility Next, set up profiles on freelance platforms and job boards. Popular destinations include Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer, ProBlogger, Contena, and LinkedIn. When crafting your profile:

Write an engaging headline that includes “content writer” or “freelance writer.”

Summarize your background, niche focus, and any standout achievements.

List your portfolio samples or link directly to your site.

Add relevant skills: SEO, WordPress, SEMrush, Mailchimp, social media management, etc.

Request testimonials from friends or colleagues who can vouch for your work ethic or writing ability.

A well‑optimized profile boosts your chances of appearing in client searches and winning invitations.

Step 4: Find Your First Paid Gigs Landing that first paid project often takes persistence. Strategies that work:

Pitch directly to small businesses or local startups. Send personalized emails offering a free trial article or website audit.

Apply to relevant listings daily on freelance boards. Tailor each proposal to the client’s needs—mention specifics from their job post.

Explore niche‑specific boards like BloggingPro or JournalismJobs for targeted opportunities.

Network on LinkedIn by sharing helpful writing tips, engaging with posts in your niche, and connecting with marketing professionals.

Early on, you might accept lower‑priced gigs to build credibility, but avoid underpricing yourself. Aim for a rate you can increase once you’ve racked up 5 to 10 positive reviews.

Step 5: Master SEO and Content Strategy SEO savvy writers command better fees. Search Engine Optimization involves understanding how keywords, user intent, and readability affect rankings. To shine:

Use free keyword research tools like Google Keyword Planner or Ubersuggest to identify target phrases.

Incorporate primary keywords in titles, opening paragraphs, subheadings, and naturally throughout the text.

Keep sentences concise, break up text with subheadings, and add bullet lists or numbered steps for scannability.

Learn basic on‑page SEO: meta descriptions, internal linking, image alt text, and proper URL structure.

Businesses pay for measurable results. If your copy ranks higher and drives traffic, you become more valuable.

Step 6: Set Competitive Rates and Payment Terms Knowing how much to charge can feel tricky. Common approaches include:

Per‑word rate: New freelance writers often start at five to ten cents per word, moving up to twenty cents or more with experience.

Per‑hour rate: Beginners might charge twenty to thirty dollars per hour, progressing to fifty and beyond as skills sharpen.

Per‑project fee: Flat rates for complete blog posts or web pages, factoring in research, revisions, and strategy.

Always agree on payment milestones. A 50/50 split works—half up front, half on completion. Use contracts to outline deliverables, deadlines, and revision policies. This keeps both sides on the same page.

Step 7: Deliver Quality and Build Long‑Term Relationships Repeat clients are freelancing gold. To keep clients coming back:

Meet deadlines without reminders.

Communicate clearly—let them know if you hit a roadblock and propose solutions.

Offer a revision round to refine the piece to their liking.

Suggest topic ideas for future posts based on emerging trends in their industry.

When clients see you consistently add value, they’ll hire you again and refer you to others.

Step 8: Leverage Tools and Continuous Learning Stay competitive by embracing helpful platforms:

Grammarly or ProWritingAid to polish grammar and tone.

Yoast or Rank Math (for WordPress) to fine‑tune on‑page SEO.

Trello or Asana for managing multiple projects smoothly.

Google Analytics basics to understand content performance.

Invest time in online courses or webinars on SEO, storytelling, and copywriting. The more you learn, the more you can charge.

Step 9: Scale Your Earnings Over Time Once you’ve established a steady stream of projects, scaling becomes the name of the game. Options include:

Raising your rates for new clients while maintaining current engagements.

Packaging content services—offer blog writing plus email newsletters or social media management as a bundle.

Outsourcing parts of the work, like research or editing, to junior writers, allowing you to focus on strategy and client relations.

Creating digital products, such as eBooks or courses on content writing, to earn passive income.

Diversifying revenue streams helps insulate your income from slow periods.

Putting It All Together Earning from content writing is an achievable goal, even if you’re starting from scratch. By identifying your niche, building an impressive portfolio, mastering SEO, and delivering top‑notch work, you’ll attract clients eager to pay for your expertise. Remember that patience and persistence pay off. Treat every project as a chance to improve your craft and delight a client. Before you know it, you’ll have a thriving freelance writing business that fits your lifestyle and fuels your creative passions.

Fic inspiration: that time you met Mihawk for the first time

Based on my OPLA oldermenxfemreader headcanons pseudo fanfic here.

Me thinking what would be a proper technique to distract Mihawk before stealing his cross as a last resort.

*Wild guitar strings appeared*

Oh...

.

.

The probability of a Warlord walking to any ball, specially one in honour of the Marine, was low but never zero.

.

Well, fuck.

That would undo all your timing and ruin the entire operation. Who knows when will you have another opportunity to infiltrate the Hacienda this easy.

Your crew is so efficient and low profile that the Marine have connected you to just a handful of the real amount of your thieveries through the years. You were sure if the World Gobernment realize how much fuck up they really were thanks to the Phantom Pirates, your bounties'd be thripled.

And neither of you wanted that.

So the red dress it was.

.

With the corner of your eye, you managed to catch a glimpse of Raoul coming inside the room, the Host mere steps behind with his butler whispering in his ear. Your eyes found those of your maid-disguised crewmate, Carlotta, and gave her a small nod.

The clock was running from now on.

"May I have this dance, my lord. Kill some time before your business meeting?"

.

The waltz came to it's end with both of you managing to maintain a proper pose and distance despise the intensity of his stare awakening a desire for nearness.

Over the shoulder of your dance partner, you saw Raoul making a circular move with his hand, signing you to keep going.

You noticed the Warlord's eyes scaning the crowd, no doubt looking for the butler who would take him to his meeting at the office currently being robbed by your crewmates.

Time for the big guns.

"Would you care to try something more... robust, my lord?"

"Do you feel an equal to the task, my lady?"

You gave him a wink and signal for a maid who approached you, whispered her something and sent her to the small orchesta near the corner.

You guided Dracule to the center of the emptying dance floor, your arm extended to his with only your hands touching... until the first strings of guitar and brass wind instruments started.

.

.

.

To be continued...

A little excerpt from what I've been working on. I just need to learn how to write a proper dance scene.

And discover how one convinces Mihawk to dance at all in a public setting.

Let's start talking wine, that's sounds legit *googling wine puns*

Saying this on anon because I'm a coward, but. I've been floating around on your page and not only are your smaus my personal favourite, but recently I've been finding myself visiting this blog often.

Now, my blog isn't obvious that I'm an adult, but I will tell you that I am one and have been one for a bit. With my favourite colour being a blinding blue, I will admit that it does have a very childish quality to it. Despite that, however, I've never added my age to my blog since I'd rather not have that be public information (I assume because of all the PSAs I grew up on about not putting information out there about yourself on the Internet).

Now imagine the shock when I scrolled to the post about the all-seeing noodle and suddenly it setting in that not only is there a high chance you may have seen me flitting about in the notifications, that you may look at my blog and see me as a child and block me on sight if I follow you, like I was wanting to.

I then, in a little bit of a panic, decided to add a clause to my blog description, stating that I am 18+, just that I am uncomfortable having my age visible (would I still be considered an ageless blog at that point?). I think I'll hold off from following for a bit, but if you recognise me in the notifications due to the sparse description of myself I've given, you can decide on what judgement you'll give me. My telling you of this was meant to be humorous, but I'd understand if it wasn't for you.

Whoop okay that's a lot lol. I'm pretty sure I know who this is but I'll leave you to your anonymity

So, let me explain how I decide to block people or not, because I don't actually block ageless blogs often (controversial I know, clutch your pearls lol)

Realistically I don't have the time to go through every like I get, so unless something about your profile makes me notice you or you pop up a lot, I'm not going to notice. Now if you reblog I'm very likely to notice and scan your profile. If you comment (or send in a non anon ask) there is a 100% chance I'll look at your page

Obviously if you state you're a minor or an age under 18, I'll block you

If your ageless, unless I'm very busy, there's a low chance I'll let it go and I will stalk your blog. I'll look at who you follow, if there is a minor I will block you. If you reblog a minor, I'll block you, or if you share things that make it obvious you're not an adult, I'll block you. There are probably people that are adults that got blocked, but hey, it's this or every ageless gets the Block Glock

Now is that doing a lot more work for myself than just blocking ageless blogs, yes. Will minors slide through the cracks, yes (and I hope they know they make me extremely uncomfortable by being on my page). However, a lot of my moots are ageless or were. A lot of adults share your sentiments if not wanting to share their age and I don't think they should be punished for this. You shouldn't be punished for wanting to be safe on the internet

Now saying your an adult or 18+ or someone says older than Google (yes I see you too), things like that make my job easier but it isn't always necessary

My main rule is I don't want minors interacting with my work. Don't like it, don't reblog, don't comment, don't follow me. Read it and move along. If they aren't mature enough to follow those simple instructions, they aren't mature enough to read my works, simple as that

So please don't stress out. "Childish" themes doesn't mean anything to me. Nothing is childish, it's something that people enjoy and that's enough for me. Most likely I saw your page, saw nothing that set off warning signs and I let you continue on your way.

Enjoy the content anon, happy you're here 💖

Oral Surgeon SEO Guide: How to Boost Your Practice Online

In today’s digital world, having a strong online presence is essential for any healthcare professional — and oral surgeons are no exception. Patients often turn to the internet when searching for specialized medical services, making SEO (Search Engine Optimization) a powerful tool to attract new clients. If you’re an oral surgeon looking to grow your practice, mastering SEO can set you apart from your competitors and help you reach more patients effectively.

This Oral surgeon SEO guide will walk you through the key strategies and tips to optimize your online visibility, generate quality leads, and establish your practice as a trusted authority in oral surgery.

Why Oral Surgeon SEO is Critical

Most patients begin their search for oral surgeons online. According to recent studies, over 80% of people use search engines like Google to find local healthcare providers. If your practice doesn’t appear on the first page of search results, you could be missing out on valuable patient inquiries.

SEO helps your website rank higher in organic (non-paid) search results for relevant keywords. This means when someone types “oral surgeon near me” or “best oral surgeon for wisdom teeth removal,” your practice is more likely to show up prominently, driving more traffic to your site.

Step 1: Keyword Research for Oral Surgeons

Keywords are the foundation of SEO. They represent the words and phrases potential patients use when searching for oral surgery services.

Start with Core Keywords: Use phrases like “oral surgeon,” “oral surgery,” “wisdom teeth removal,” “dental implants,” and “jaw surgery.”

Include Local Keywords: Patients often look for services “near me” or by city. Add location-based keywords like “oral surgeon in [City]” or “[City] oral surgery clinic.”

Use Long-Tail Keywords: These are longer, more specific phrases like “best oral surgeon for dental implants in [City].” They tend to have less competition and attract highly targeted traffic.

Tools like Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, or SEMrush can help identify popular and relevant keywords for your practice.

Step 2: Optimize Your Website for SEO

Your website is your digital storefront — it needs to be easy to find and navigate.

On-Page SEO

Title Tags & Meta Descriptions: Ensure every page has a unique title tag incorporating your main keywords. Meta descriptions should be compelling and concise to improve click-through rates.

Headings: Use H1, H2, and H3 tags strategically, placing your target keywords naturally within them.

Content: Provide detailed, informative content about your services, procedures, and patient care. Aim for clear explanations of common oral surgery treatments to educate visitors.

Images: Use high-quality images and optimize them with descriptive alt text that includes keywords.

Mobile-Friendly Design: Since many patients search on their phones, a responsive website design is critical for SEO and user experience.

Technical SEO

Site Speed: Slow-loading websites hurt rankings. Compress images and streamline your code.

Secure Website (HTTPS): A secure site builds trust and is favored by search engines.

XML Sitemap: Submit a sitemap to Google Search Console to help search engines index your site efficiently.

Schema Markup: Implement schema for healthcare providers to enhance search listings with rich snippets like reviews, contact info, and services.

Step 3: Local SEO for Oral Surgeons

Local SEO is vital because most oral surgery patients look for providers nearby.

Google Business Profile: Claim and optimize your Google Business Profile. Ensure your address, phone number, hours, and website link are accurate.

Local Listings: Get listed on local directories such as Healthgrades, Yelp, and Zocdoc. Consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) info across all platforms improves local ranking.

Local Keywords: Use geo-targeted keywords in your website content and blog posts.

Gather Reviews: Encourage satisfied patients to leave positive Google reviews. Reviews boost trust and local SEO rankings.

Local Backlinks: Partner with local healthcare providers or organizations to earn backlinks from their websites.

Step 4: Content Marketing & Blogging

Creating high-quality content regularly is a great way to attract and engage visitors.

Educational Blog Posts: Write about common oral surgery topics such as “What to Expect After Wisdom Teeth Removal” or “Benefits of Dental Implants.”

Patient FAQs: Address frequently asked questions in blog posts or dedicated pages.

Video Content: Consider videos explaining procedures or patient testimonials to build trust.

Share Content on Social Media: Promote your blog posts on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to increase reach.

Content helps target long-tail keywords and builds your authority in the oral surgery field, improving overall SEO.

Step 5: Build Quality Backlinks

Backlinks are links from other websites pointing to your site. They act like “votes of confidence” in Google’s eyes.

Professional Associations: Get listed on dental or surgical professional directories.

Guest Blogging: Write articles for reputable health blogs or local business sites.

Community Involvement: Sponsor or participate in local events and get coverage on local news websites.

Patient Testimonials & Case Studies: Publish success stories that others want to share.

Aim for backlinks from authoritative, relevant sites to boost your domain authority and rankings.

Step 6: Monitor and Improve Your SEO

SEO is not a one-time task but an ongoing process.

Track Performance: Use tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console to monitor your website traffic, keyword rankings, and user behavior.

Adjust Strategy: Based on data, refine keywords, update content, and fix technical issues.

Stay Updated: SEO best practices evolve constantly, so keep learning about algorithm changes and new trends.

Common SEO Mistakes to Avoid for Oral Surgeons

Ignoring Mobile Users: A non-responsive site will lose patients and rankings.

Keyword Stuffing: Overusing keywords can harm readability and SEO.

Neglecting Local SEO: Without local optimization, you miss the majority of patient searches.

Poor Website Navigation: Complicated menus frustrate visitors and increase bounce rates.

Not Encouraging Reviews: Reviews are essential for trust and local ranking.

Local SEO Success: Why Lincoln Businesses Choose WebTech Designs

In the heart of Nebraska, where community matters and competition is fierce, businesses in Lincoln are learning a crucial lesson—visibility online is everything. With more customers turning to Google to find local services, the importance of local SEO has skyrocketed. But what sets a successful business apart in local search rankings? For many in Lincoln, the answer is simple: WebTech Designs.

The Local SEO Boom in Lincoln Gone are the days when a sign on your storefront and a listing in the Yellow Pages were enough to bring in customers. Today’s consumers search for “best plumber near me,” “top coffee shops in Lincoln,” or “affordable SEO company Lincoln”—and if your business isn’t showing up, you’re missing out on valuable traffic.

Local SEO isn’t just about ranking for keywords. It’s about becoming the top choice in your area when someone searches for a service you provide. That means optimizing your Google Business Profile, building consistent local citations, encouraging online reviews, and creating localized website content. It’s a lot to manage—which is exactly why Lincoln businesses are turning to the experts.

Enter WebTech Designs: The Local SEO Experts So, why are so many local businesses choosing WebTech Designs as their trusted SEO partner?

Because WebTech Designs does more than rank websites. They build strategies, trust, and long-term growth. Known for their deep understanding of both Google’s algorithm and Lincoln’s business landscape, WebTech Designs has carved out a niche by delivering measurable, lasting results.

They take the time to get to know your business, your goals, your audience, and your competition. Whether you’re a family-owned restaurant in the Haymarket District or a new landscaping company in South Lincoln, they build a custom roadmap tailored to your success.

From hyperlocal keyword research to competitor gap analysis, every campaign begins with strategy and ends with impact.

They also monitor and respond to reviews, helping clients maintain strong customer relationships and increase trustworthiness. The result? More leads, more calls, more walk-ins.

Local Content That Converts Local SEO isn’t just technical—it’s creative. WebTech Designs develops content that speaks to Lincoln’s audience. From blog posts and city pages to service area descriptions and FAQs, they craft content that answers real questions locals are asking.

For example, instead of generic SEO content, they create pieces like:

“Top 5 Things to Know Before Hiring a Plumber in Lincoln”

“Where to Find the Best Vegan Tacos in Downtown Lincoln”

“Why Your Lincoln Law Firm Needs Local SEO Today”

This content doesn’t just rank—it engages, builds authority, and drives conversions.

Every client receives easy-to-understand reports showing what’s working, what’s improving, and where opportunities lie.

10 Years of Posting Fanfic: A Retrospective

(If you only care about reading my writing from when I was 12, skip to the cut)

I've always enjoyed reading as a kid. I was the kid in class who was reading at a high school level in intermediate school, and the kid who had 8 library books on her desk at a time. Therefore it is no surprise that I quickly realized that I enjoyed writing a lot too.

This post cannot be a look into when I started writing fanfiction though, because frankly I don't remember. Instead, all I have to go off of is the publishing date on my old fanfiction.net profile: December 15, 2013. I'm a little too young for the heyday of Live Journal and other fanfic sites, so ff.net was my first introduction to fanfiction. I also used to use Wattpad now and then, but I never posted anything there. I preferred ff.net, and did not make an AO3 account until 2016.

In middle school and intermediate school, if you asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I'd tell you I wanted to be a novelist. Of course my actual career went a different direction--I'm now an environmental outreach specialist. But the great news about writing is that it can be done at any time!

Fanfiction.net was also my introduction into the world of fanfic, back when I stumbled onto some Jayfeather Warrior Cats fanfic from a random google search. It took me entirely by suprise to find out that I could actually read more stories about my favorite characters! It was like stumbling into a gold mine. I still remember how thrilled I was. I was instantly hooked, despite being more than a little traumatized by instantly finding a "lemon" and reading about cat sex at probably 11 or 12 years old. Somehow, that did not stop me. I continued to avoid lemons, and developed a huge taste for angst, whump, and hurt/comfort stories. In retrospect, I'm not sure my mom would have viewed reading about torture or suicidal characters as particularly better than smut, but oh well. She never knew.

Throughout middle school and early high school, I was constantly writing. In middle school I had a notebook and used to hand write fanfics and original stories inside. I had two friends who also liked writing, and together we'd spend time developing and editing each other's stories. It's during this time I posted my first stories on FF.net. In high school, my school gave every student a chromebook laptop, and I started writing fanfic in Google Docs on that. I was fearless and had no problems writing angsty anime fanfic in class, on a school-monitored device.

I stopped writing fanfic somewhere in 10th grade, though I never stopped reading it. I stopped writing it primarily because I spent a lot of time writing other things. I was taking college classes. I doing competitive essay writing (I medalled at state) and competitive literary criticism. I was doing art competitions. In 12th grade, I had a job reporting school news to my local newspaper. I wrote op-eds about the environment and dutifully recorded hours of school board meetings to summarize. Then, I was properly off to college, and despite the pandemic hitting a year later I had classes to take online and a part time job outdoors. I had 60 page mock-environmental risk assessments to write. I was too busy to write fiction.

The MCYT fandom is what brought back my desire to write. The creativity of this fandom is so astounding, and I'm grateful all the time that I get to see the things everybody creates. Back in 2021, I no longer felt like I just wanted to read. I felt restless again, so I started writing a DSMP story about clingyduo at the disc war finale. I scrapped this, but it set things into motion again. In the summer of 2021 I posted my first two fanfics in years. I received such good feedback. By kudos, NWNF is my most popular fic on the site, and The Babysitting Game is still 4th most popular. I'm super grateful for that, and I'm grateful for everybody here who reads my stories. I still can't really comprehend that I post things that people actually read now. I save so many of your comments to keep for later.

I'll stop reviewing my history of writing here. You guys know the rest. I wrote HC, Evo, ESMP, and Life series oneshots. I wrote my first long fic, and then smashed that record by writing another longer one that I'm less than two chapters away from finishing. It's been a huge amount of fun and the improvements I've made in two years of active writing is super encouraging.

If I've made this much progress in 10 years, who's to say what I could do in 10 more years? I really look forward to it.

Anyway, the sappy stuff aside, who wants to read the story I wrote when I was 12? I'll post it below the cut in its entirety, no matter how much psychic damage it dealt me. It's Doctor Who, because of course it is. It always goes back to Doctor Who with me :)

From the TARDIS Files--A One-Shot Book

by: crazykatz430 <- I used to go by this everywhere

Description: This is a book of drabbles and one shots-nothing long will be found here, and it will not be updated frequently. Chapters will often have more than one short story in it. Rated T because I'm paranoid, don't know about what I'll end up writing in future chapters. All that said, enjoy! EDIT: CANCELLED

Published: 2013-12-15

Words: 1196

Rated: Fiction T - Language: English - Genre: Humor/Adventure -

Characters: 11th Doctor, Clara O. - Reviews: 4 - Follows: 1

──────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────

A/N: Okay, so this is a collection of four short (I mean SHORT) oneshots I wrote, most of them just drabbles. So far, this will be just a fic to update when I write more short oneshots in the freewrites on my English Class.

Disclaimer: I don't own DW but if I did… <- oh the early days back when we were all sticking disclaimers on things but not knowing why

There will be a linbreak for new oneshots, and a cat symbol (crazyKATZ430..it's in the name) for the time skips or point of view changes..

──────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────

Without further ado, I present: Geronimo , Uploaded , The Forgotten , and Cemetery Nightmares .

Geronimo

Set: The Wedding of River Song

I don't know what to say. All my secrets, fears and enemies, they've all caught up to me. I've run too far, run for too long.

The prophecy states that silence will fall when the question is asked. The first question, the oldest and most important question. I do not know what the question is nor do I want to find out, for the silence that falls will be the silence of my death.

I do not want to do die here, at Lake Silencio, Utah, but it is a fixed point. It will always happen no matter how far or long I run from it. I don't want to die alone… don't want to make my love do it.

I have made a plan, one to hopefully save my life and the earth. Everyone will think I am dead, but it will be safer. They'll be safer from me.

Geronimo!

Now I know what to say, the same thing I've always said when adventure and danger and the unknown ensued…

──────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────

Uploaded

Set: The wi-fi's first victim ;

"Where am I?" I whispered, scared. "Hello?"

I looked around myself, studying the surroundings. It was all strange to me, I'd n idea where I was.

I felt panic rising in my chest. "I don't know where I am!" I shrieked, becoming ever more terrified. "Somebody, please, help me! Where am I, I don't know where I am!"

──────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────

I raced around the room looking for a way out of what appeared to be someone's bedroom. I gave a cry when I couldn't get out and I subconsciously returned to the computer. "Help me!" I screamed infrustration and fear, my heart racing as panic took over my body. "I don't know where I am!"

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

The wi-fi had taken its first victim.

The uploading had begun.

The Forgotten

Set: hmm… can't remember. Strange.

I was alone in a cold, dark room, no other living thing in sight.

I can't remember what I've forgotten. But if I can't remember what I've forgotten, then how do I know I forgot something?

But I wasn't alone.

How did I know that? There was nothing visible..yet I felt there was another creature in the room.

Sudden pure, unexplainable terror washed over me. I yanked the sleeve of my shirt down and stared at the underside of my arm. One fresh, black tally mark marred my skin.

The panic reached its heighth and I dropped into a defensive postureautomatically. I didn't know why, it felt like I was forgetting something… I was confused and terrified.

A second crisp tally mark appeared on my arm, closely followed by three more. A full set. But why?

Fifteen or more sets of five tally marks were tattooed on my arm.

Wordlessly I pulled down my right sleeve. What I saw there cause me to scream in fright and drop to the ground.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

Doctor who?

Silence will fall when the question is asked. The first question, the oldest question…

──────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────

Cemetery Nightmares

Set: New York City, 1950 (set in New York City; however, the

character is British)

The statue had moved. It had really, properly moved!

Eagerly, I lifted my camera to take a picture. "Moving Statues in City Cemetery"? Sounded like a story to me! My editor always thought my stories were rubbish, but I begged to differ. Maybe he's let me print something with proof.

Curiosity killed the cat. This statue could be dangerous, what did I know of it? I smiled as I recalled the second part to the phrase. But satisfaction brought it back. Making up my mind, I held up the camera and clicked a picture.

I waited for it to move again, but it did not. Was it my eyes? No, I'd had two cups of heavily caffeinated tea this morning, you don't start seeing things untill the third day without sleep, I still had a day to go.

I huffed and sighed, closing my eyes. Why must good stories always slip way like this? Or was I just being too impatient?

Either way, I got a shock from when I reopened my eyes. The same stone figure, who seemed to be an angel statue, had moved again, closer to me. I didn't know if I should be happy for more evidence or scared because the hand seemed to be seemed to be reaching out to me…

I blinked again. A small cry escaped my lips as I noted it was closer. Was it all just some sick game? I was the only one in the cemetery though so that option was out of the question. Either way, the expression on the face of the angel now was frightening me. I decided it was best to leave.

I turned to walk back to my car, but on a whim turned to look back again. The statue had moved again, probably 15 meters in a few seconds! I began to tremble. It was like straight out of a horror movie! I just wanted to get away, to get home and out of this creepy place!

Then I made the mistake, my fatal mistake. My eyes began to burn and I blinked, a simple movement. But when I reopened my eyes I stood in a place far more different from where I'd been.

I was somewhere else! It was impossible, the city, cemetery and creepy angel statue were gone too! But where was I? I set out to find someone about what had turned into a nightmare for me. A cemetery nightmare.

The image of an angel becomes an angel.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

One bright red vintage camera lay on the ground, on button switched. The last picture it had taken displayed out from the screen. A seemly harmless picture of an angel statue, taken a minute before the camera's owner was whisked away.

──────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────

A/N: There you go, three short oneshots with a fourth that's twice the size of the others! PLease remember to review and say if it was good or not, and have a wonderful day… now that I've given you some stories of dying people. ( Geronimo had no dying but it was pretty intense if I do say so.) And please forgive me, I'm not British so I may tend to overdo some things…

(narrarator voice: she did not, in fact, ever upload another chapter)

Anyway, hope you enjoyed, as soon as I type it up, another's on its way!

TXT Golden Disc Awards voting under the cut 🚨

not sure if moas on tumblr know, but TXT has been nominated for a Golden Disc Award.

the category TXT has been nominated for is Most Popular Artist Award (Male). it's a fan-voted award, meaning the artist(s) who get the most votes in total across three apps (mubeat, fandomchart, and my1pick) get the award.

considering that 2024 has been an extremely busy and demanding year for TXT (2 comebacks + all that entails along individual schedules and content shooting) and the fact that they've never had a break in the 6 years since they've debuted, TXT will take a break/hiatus after they've finished their year-end schedules and attended the Golden Disc Awards.

this means that the Golden Disc Awards will be the last thing that TXT attends before they take time off, and moas on other platforms (insta, twitter/"x") are coming together to vote for TXT to receive the award.

this is TXT's current ranking across all three apps, landing them in second place overall with a 200,000+ gap.

the voting period ends on the 30th, leaving only ten days left for fans to vote. despite how big the gap seems, it's still possible for TXT to win if moas spread the word and vote across all three apps (on multiple email accounts, if possible) everyday for the remaining ten days left.

to vote across all three apps:

1. please download the apps Mubeat, Fandomchart, and My1Pick on your device's app store/Google Play/etc.

2. log in with your account(s) and set up a profile.

3. to vote "automatically," you can do a one-time purchase and pay for the voting items. to vote manually, you'll need to watch ads.

* you have to make sure that the item you're watching ads for will go towards voting (Mubeat - voting tickets, Fandomchart - hearts, My1Pick - purple hearts) plus there's a voting limit. yes, it is tiring but also yes it is doable.

* Mubeat has a limit of 5 ads per hour

* Fandomchart tells you the time you have between ads (5 mins-1hr)

* My1Pick ads renew every hour

* after accumulating tickets/hearts, you go onto the vote section and vote for who you want. each app has a limit of 20 votes per day.

if anyone needs extra help on how to vote, please don't hesitate to ask/DM people you know who are actively voting, and yes this includes myself.

if you are a moa or if you simply would like to, please vote for TXT on mubeat, fandomchart, and my1pick. if you feel that all three apps are too much for you, even just mass voting on one app helps a little. thank you.

tw for mentioning transmisogyny and suicidal ideation, but this is mostly a long uninteresting wall of text about my evening of browsing the dying internet

fascinated by this twitter scam thing using bought profiles all pretending to be twoc from the UK. i know this sounds like just completely run of the mill dead internet shit. everything is scammers and bots and no real people. but i’m interested and it’s my blog so whatever.

i got dmed by a profile (pretty unassuming hello message but i have no mutual connections so i was like ok time to see if there’s any likelihood this person would actually have any business messaging me) and noticed a clone in her followers. identical profile except for the name.

here’s the bio: ✨ one day your entire life will flash in front of your eyes; make sure it is worth watching. ✨ | 23 | UK (unfortunately) | cat 🐈 lady | she/her ⚧️ |

that’s a pretty specific description for two different women to have

i was like ok time to look up this description. unfortunately all major sites are trash now, so the IDENTICAL DESCRIPTIONS turned up no useful results, but searching just the first part of the url linked in each of their identical bios turned up more twitter profiles. (not sharing that url yet for reasons youll see later)

all were accounts set up in the 2010s with random retweets, seemingly left to sit since 2018, but they were activated on election day to retweet like 1 woke post a day.

what disturbs me is that all of them have a pinned tweet that’s some variation on the sentiment of “idk why conservatives think being gay is a choice i’ve been suicidal my whole life”. this is the non-identical part of the accounts, the pin expressing internalized transmisogyny and homophobia to the degree of suicidal ideation. either someone is using a completely non-moderated AI for this, they’re copying tweets made by real LGBT people, or they’re coming up with their own suicidal lgbt people posts.

the one post on the internet about it is a reddit post that says in the google result that it’s an “amazon scam” and it was deleted, so the content of the post is not visible. but ppl in the comments shared screenshots of other accounts like this that have been deleted, though the accounts in this post were activated and dming people 6 months ago rather than in the election. before the election their pinned posts were about how lucky lgbt kids are these days to receive so much love and support. one comment posted DMs and the bot/scammer was asking for $10 to help with rent.

ultimately the actual actions are not unusual at all. lazy scammers making identical accounts to dm from, relying on the brokenness of most search sites (including the built in search on twitter) to cover their tracks.

however, the interest to me comes from the fact that all of them link to a seemingly possibly real blog owned by a cis white male professional in the UK who i found on linkedin. i’m wondering if the scammers link to his blog because it’s not obviously connected to a specific personality and because the url for it seems nebulously woke. but all of it could be fake, right?

in which case, i’m amazed by the idea that a person set up a fake DEI blog, published a book on amazon linking to it, and linked it to a (his?) linkedin account belonging to an imaginary DEI trainer with the same name as the book author. and then they set up a bunch of at first envious and now weirdly self-hating twitter accts to get money from sympathetic people. i would consider this to be a low effort AI grift if the blog didn’t have posts from the 2010s as well that have innocuous writing. i remember waves of regular markov chain text bot generated fake content back then, and that was certainly not this. but even as a low effort AI grift to sell a low effort DEI book on amazon it’s just an absolutely insane set of tactics. anyway, why not make the fake linkedin account match the literally identical twitter accounts?

but the most interesting scenario in my mind is that this scam is completely unrelated to this guy and they just chose his blog to make it seem like their dozens of identical suicidal woke OCs were writers for a real site with a woke sounding name. and it’s entirely possible this guy is a real DEI worker who did real trainings for the real NHS thru the 2010s and he is selling his real book on his real expertise thru amazon. and his real actual DEI training blog is being linked to again and again by scammers who like to spend a good amount of time roleplaying as suicidal twoc from the UK. in which case, holy shit, i wonder if he knows.

anyway i’m gonna message him on linkedin.
