Hello lovelies

I was lucky enough to snatch a commission from @bucksketch

This is something that has been on my mind for so long and I could finally ask one of my fav artists to bring this to life

Everyone,

The Stucky Buddie AU

There is no fic (yet)

But I think they fit them so well

Buck with his trying to save everyone, trying to always do the right thing, burning down the world for his loved ones

Eddie with all the trauma that hardened him on the outside at first glance but he'll do everything for the ones he loves

Buck with the whole transformation he goes through while the core of his heart never changes

Eddie with all that grief but slowly making his way through healing

The friends to lovers

The always having each other's backs

The saving each other

Yeah I love them all

Another sketch I think I never posted..? I did a sketch of how Otto differs from his ingame model. My aquatic subspecies of sylvari, the second time I've made a subspecies of sylvari based on a single individual character I wanted to make haha..

I feel like actually shit like the entirety of last week getting to me. I wish I could have a moment of actual relaxation and not just me forgetting I have shit to do.

(Tag warning-> depressing talk, dark topics)

Might delete this idk..

Found this tumblr post

“One more “🥺” and you’re getting bred twice with no pulling out in between.”

Reminds me of innocent readers and porn star Bucky 😩🙈

Oooooh yes, this would be LOVELY (Also, I didn't expect to be away for two days, I was on a work trip and I didn't have time to write and I missed it so much)

Because pornstar Bucky would fucking adore that soft face you make when you want to get your way. You know how to push his buttons but sometimes he just doesn't want to give in because it's more fun not to.

Like maybe just begging Bucky for something silly. Asking him to make you breakfast on a bright Sunday morning and he argues back just for the sake of it because he knows where it will end up.

"Buck please, baby. I want pancakes." You huff, wrapping your arms around his chest from behind, feeling so small against him as he turns the coffee machine on.

He knows you can't see his face from where you're standing and he can't help but smirk because this is exactly what he needs this morning.

"Sweetheart, they take forever. I don't wanna have to clear up afterwards either." He's being so stubborn just because he can, turning around to face you.

"Please Bucky? Pretty please?" You plead, softening your eyes and letting your bottom lip drop into a little pout and God, he can't fucking handle it.

"You can't look at me like that. Makes me wanna fuck a baby into you. Make that face again and I'm gonna fuck you twice without pulling out in between." He watches exactly how your eyes light up and it's far more thrilling than it should be.

"Do it. Please, fuck a baby into me." Your voice is so soft, he thinks he might lose it. You give in to lust so quickly, particularly when he mentions breeding you and he finds it far too hot.

"Mhm, you want that? You want me to stuff your pretty pussy full? You want me to leave you dripping and then just fill you up again? Cause God, you'd look so pretty pregnant." The thought of it just drives him crazy.

His lips are on your neck, kissing so gently, sucking and teasing your skin as he props you up onto the counter for easier access. He doesn't waste any time, tugging off your little pyjama shorts and letting his sweatpants fall to the floor before pressing slowly into you.

"Bucky, I'm so fertile right now." He can't help but groan at your little admission because that's exactly what he needed to hear. It's not a warning, it's encouragement and it's more than he can handle.

"So you're telling me to use you, huh? Don't worry. I'm gonna make sure you're so stuffed full, you can't move without your little cunt dripping. I want you to feel me dripping out of you tomorrow and know it's too fucking late, you're probably already pregnant." He watches how your eyes roll back in your head, his slow thrusts gradually speeding up because he needs that first load inside you right fucking now. The second will take a little longer and that's when he'll really take the time to focus on your pleasure but for now, he just needs to stuff you full.

Hi this is a vent post! Continue scrolling if you'd rather not see that

i feel like i've had the "kids can handle dark topics in stories" conversation on three separate occasions in the past month, what's up with that??? my impression of children's/young teen literature is that it's always been SURPRISINGLY DARK and that it FUCKING SLAPS.

like yeah, my trump card is that i can answer almost every "but what about [HEAVY TOPIC]" with "Animorphs did that actually," which makes animorphs sound super edgy, but the thing is... it didn't feel edgy? it felt like a substantial adventure with drama, tension, goofs, stakes, and a vibrant cast of characters. it was one of the first book series i ever read, so there was nothing that tipped me off that This Series Is So Dark And Gruesome - and i think it's because it wasn't, comparatively. one of my other early reads was Deltora Quest, and like, what school library didn't have Goosebumps? i never got my hands on warrior cats, but like, that series is just one installation in a WHOLE GENRE - the silverwing trilogy, wings of fire, guardians of ga'hoole... groups of animals dealing with war and exile and battle and grief and ridiculously tragic backstories and whatever was going on in these series, ripe for self-insert characters and scenarios for play pretend during lunch break. even the HTTYD books, which are completely different from the movies - they look childish, especially with the illustrated charcoal drawings - hiccup gets captured as a slave at some point, and there's a dragon rebellion that seeks to eradicate all of humanity. it has a lot of goofy moments and some incredibly over-the-top villains, but it doesn't flinch from how gruesome it gets, either.

i think kids genuinely love this stuff!!! not all kids, sure, but i definitely did!!! like!!! have you SEEN the edgy OCs kids and teens will make? the finely crafted horrific backstories? you know how small kids have traditionally played with barbies, right, with beheadings and torture and shakespearean plots? how a lot of kids and teens sought out creepypastas???

i absolutely think it's much easier for BOOKS to go into dark topics than visual media, and i think that's why a lot of people don't realize how much is happening below the surface. we live in a post gravity falls world now, so cartoons for teens are finally allowed to be a little more twisted and "wow i can't believe they went there," but ALSO... from what i can remember from being a Child, the most scarring and horrifying moments in stories for kids were not the existential concept of "oh no you're ten years old and bad guys want to kill you!" but stuff like, the groke from the moomins cartoon, old puppet shows, moments that were viscerally horrifying without being gory in any way...

maybe you don't understand all the Complexities of Heavy Topics when you're nine. but some things will stick with you, and as you grow older and gain more context and knowledge about the world around you, i think those moments can become very valuable. i haven't read animorphs for almost two decades and so much of it has stayed with me. maybe i saw princess mononoke a bit earlier than i "should have," but to this day it's still one of my favourite movies of all time, and my understanding of it grows every time i rewatch it. i don't think it's possible for every story to handle every topic perfectly or even well, but it might still be worthwhile to have engaged with it. i mean, that's the Discourse, isn't it, stories tell you stuff and we can't control what other people take from it.

anyway yeah kids crave blood and carnage and we should give it to them sometimes

I'm starting to feel about artistic depictions of trans scars the same way I feel about artistic depictions of blindness: they suck.

At first the art of all the jagged lined scars I saw for trans characters seemed neat. But then I started to remember that I have those scars and they don't look like that. At all. And it's kinda shitty to draw all these trans men and nbs in such a way that they look like someone took an axe to their chests. Mastectomy/top surgery scars don't look like that at all! Even when you have a slash and dash quick surgery like I did, the results are much nicer and most trans guys you can't even tell.

This is like drawing people with white/pale, unfocused eyes as a shorthand for blindness. It's a shitty stereotype and I think in the long run it causes more harm than good. Just like with real trans folks you may have to just say out loud that your guy is trans instead of giving him a design that's kinda shitty to the bros out there who went through some shit to look really good.

26 is still young my dear <3 you have time

i don't know if the person who sent this will ever see it; it's over a year old at this point. i got this message presumably in response to some fear i had over turning 26 last year, and i've kept it in my inbox so i could look at it whenever i was anxious about my life going too fast. you're right, 26 is still very young. i'm 27 now, so i'm letting this message go, but i will still think of it often. and thank you. i needed it. <3

i do honestly think that like. the reason steve's torture scene is so undercut is because it is a torture scene. like they didn't WANT it to be hit heavily they didn't want to have to cut between relatively normal for the show scenarios back to steve and robin locked in an unreachable facility getting beaten and drugged and about to get their fingernails ripped off with the knowledge that in the end unless they're saved they're going to die. Because that is deeply tragic. so they have to make the jokes and make it lighter than it seems not only because the plot needs it but like the AUDIENCE needs it and the CHARACTERS need it... like yes the show does not take so many character's real life suffering seriously because for some reason lasting effects and trauma only exist to be taken advantage of by the plot or if you're the billed star or something but steve also in canon is the one who didn't let himself BE A Guy Who Was Just Tortured. he was a guy who was just beat up a little. and like they're scared but they're not too scared because they have to have hope because they are two people who have never had to rely on hope before in order to survive...

but also!! tbh i can't. help but think how much of a critical hit gut wrench it would've been if they had decided to commit to the darker theme of it and how it juxtaposes against the whole Bright Neon Light Palm Fronds And 80s Pop and how 30 minutes later they're standing among a group of children and no one even realises anything is out of the ordinary i think it would've accessed an actual emotional impact and depth the duffers seem to stumble upon by accident and never of their own volition </3 to cut from the concurrently running scenes to an 18 year old boy we know is completely innocent and completely telling the truth that he was just in the wrong place and didn't realise how serious it all was who was getting tortured and it be something serious. and his 17 year old coworker who just had to listen to it all to the point where she thought they dragged his dead body in to lay next to her. and in a way it's somehow MORE tragic which was not their intention at all that it was so lightly handled even though we the audience know it's somethings deeply upsetting it all just gets washed away in the face of Life goes on even on tv... sigh.
