Thinking about lazy morning sex with Jason Grace. Making him feel so wanted because you’ve just woken up and there’s a million things you could be doing but all you want is him. Imagine his brain short circuiting at the concept of being the first thing you want when you wake up. He’s not an afterthought anymore and he just can’t wrap his head around it.

Jason is so sweet in the morning. He's all disoriented and drowsy, his eyes are all puffy from sleep and his glasses are sitting on the night table where he left them last night. his blonde hair looks like he got struck by lightning, which in all honesty wouldn't surprise you knowing him. his cheeks are all flushed and his muscles are all soft and relaxed. he's never been relaxed before ever, and it's only since he started sharing a bed with you, snuggling up with you and feeling your soft little good night kisses that he's known what peace feels like. so that particular morning, birds and cicadas singing outside, the ac blasting cold air over you and your blonde superman of a boyfriend, you just can't resist him. you're so right that he's not used to not being an afterthought. this is literally Jason whenever you express how much you love him or even do the bare minimum, much less treat him the way he deserves to be treated. you're like I love you so much and he's like whhhat??? whhat is going on????? what the hhhell are you tahlking about?????????? then you kiss him and his brain short circuits. this morning in particular you just can't resist him. you start peppering his puffy sleepy face in kisses. he's barely awake, he's blinking one eye at a time and thinks it's dream. then you climb on top of him, and that really wakes him up. his brain understands unbelievably horny hottie and sitting on my morning wood, but he can't get much further than that. he can't connect the two, make himself realize that he's the reason you're like this. and quite frankly if he did his head and balls would explode so violently neither of you would come back from that. so as you ride him, languid and lazy, soaking in every electrifying sensation of pleasure shared between you two, as you indulge yourself in touching him, kissing him, anywhere and everywhere you possibly can, you decide this is a good starting point. your breathing gets faster and you keep moaning out his name, sighing it into his lips over wet, messy kisses that just get deeper and deeper and he can't believe his ears. but he really wants to. you decide this is a good place to start. maybe after a few more weeks of riding his morning wood till he's nice and soft, he'll start to get the hint that you really, really like him. like, a lot.

Chapter 110 is 13 pages long welcome to hell!!! so in a lot of ways this is just more fuel for a theory that I've had for a few weeks now, that's only gotten stronger with each recent season 5 episode, which is that the last episode of the season is gonna end on 110, and that Asagiri/Harukawa and Bones have been collaborating to make this happen, specifically because it's a major turning point that would be the only good place to end the season on.

When we started getting especially long chapters again (like from 25-35ish pages, with the exception of 107.5, the last two being some of the longest we've ever had), at first I just assumed that Asagiri/Harukawa got freed up from some other obligations they'd been having to cause the extremely short/half chapters, like promotional stuff for the anime/Beast movie, or working on light novels. But then 109 happened, with the "supposed" death of Dazai, and heavy emphasis at the end on how literally everyone is at their lowest point right now, and I got to thinking. 11 episodes is a strangely specific number for an anime season -- why not 12, or 13, or even 10, like you'd usually see? Why have we gotten suddenly gotten two 35 page chapters out of nowhere, that's almost unheard of at this point? They're both beautiful chapters, don't get me wrong (as always), and maybe A/H simply just didn't want to cut them in halves because they felt like the full emotional impact wouldn't hit/that there were no good cutoff points in them, but you can't deny that it's surprising, after all the shorter chapters we've been getting. Why has the anime been going at such insanely breakneck pacing for the most part ever since around the Sunday Tragedy chapters, even more so than it has in the past? So much so that it feels dangerously close to overtaking the manga?

Well, maybe, just maybe, it's because..... Asagiri decided a long time ago that whatever happens in 110 is the only point that feels "season finale"-worthy enough, in an arc that still isn't anywhere close to being completely wrapped up, and so both the manga and the anime have been specifically coordinated to reach that part within 2 and a half weeks of each other?

I've seen a lot of people now think season 5 will end with 109, and as much as my sadistic side would find that hilarious, I honestly don't think they'd do that and realistically don't want it to happen; it'd be so cruel to cliffhanger the anime for years like that, and just doesn't feel like a season cliffhanger BSD would do, a series that is ultimately hopeful and uplifting. Seasons 2 and 3 had a positive, conclusive ending; the only reasons seasons 1 and 4 didn't was because they're technically not really full seasons of their own, and are more like the first cour of another "season" that also came out that same year (seasons 1 and 2 both aired in 2016, so they're more like one big season, and seasons 4 and 5 have both aired this year, so they're also more like one big season, again taking into account how episodes 12 and 50 are not satisfying finales like episodes 24, 37, and hypothetically, 61, are). I really can't see season 5 ending with Dazai and Fukuzawa's supposed deaths, Sigma being unconscious and maybe close to death, Atsushi being vulnerable and limbless again, everyone we love still vampires, and the entire world being basically doomed; that's just too depressing and not like BSD at all. However, having said that, if it doesn't end there, there really isn't any good place to end the season before that, either, that feels in any way satisfying or like a finale at all. And so, to me, that only leaves after 109: chapter 110.

I think things are really gonna turn around next chapter. Like I said, everyone is at their lowest point right now, it cannot possibly get any worse, the framing of Dazai, Fukuzawa, and sskk at the end of 109 is telling us that; this is the time for the heroes to finally start winning again, with Aya being so close to pulling out the sword, and for all the thematic reasons other people have talked about to death that I don't need to go into here again. This upcoming chapter being so short again makes a part of me wary of 110 being "the one", so to speak, I won't lie, but at the same time, it's very possible that it needs to be that short because that's all the final episode of the season will be able to reasonably fit in, since it's already gonna be VERY close if they do make it all the way to 109. And at the end of the day, I don't doubt at all that Asagiri and Harukawa can make these the most monumental and game-changing mere 13 pages ever if they wanted to; a chapter does not at all need to be extremely long in order to be an important and impactful one, even if short ones we've gotten in the past haven't felt the most important.

An additional thought I've had, though this is much more crack territory than all this already is, is that since we know from Anime Expo that a Stormbringer movie at some point is highly likely (judging from Asagiri's reaction when someone brought it up), it's possible that chapter 110 and thus the final episode will involve the long-anticipated return of Verlaine and/or Adam, or at least some other major reference to Stormbringer, that would naturally and smoothly lead into a Stormbringer movie to explain things to people who haven't read the novel. It would make a lot of sense, especially since the s4 OP has the Old World sign behind Chuuya, which might be a hint that this has been in the works ever since seasons 4/5 were first in planning with Asagiri. We also know that Dazai and Chuuya's voice actors apparently struggled to record their lines together this season, which probably relates to 101 and possibly 109, but it could be 110 too.... I could be very wrong, as I'm no expert on this kind of thing, but I kinda doubt they would bring Chuuya's actor in for just the vampire growls, and Asagiri placing heavy emphasis on Chuuya's importance this season in that one interview gives me the impression that he's talking about much more than just 101/109. But that's the least solid evidence I have, that's just mostly based on vibes I get.

So basically, I think a lot of factors -- the unusual episode count, how close the anime is to catching up to the manga with three whole episodes left, the seemingly arbitrary recent chapter lengths, and the climactic events of 109 -- can tell us that 110 might be a very, VERY big deal. Again, there's of course no way this arc is anywhere near close to being finished, with so much left to address and resolve, but since it is currently incomplete in the manga, unlike the previously adapted arcs, if the anime was going to adapt it at all, they'd have to find a place that feels satisfying enough to end this season, knowing there won't be more anime for a long time after this, and so I think they specifically planned for that, from both Bones' and A/H's sides. 10 episodes might not have been enough to reach that point, but 12 or 13 might have been too many it wouldn't have been if Bones actually decided to slow down and let the story breathe the way it needs to, but this post isn't meant to criticize the anime, so maybe 11 was just right. And maybe Asagiri and Harukawa specifically pushed to make recent chapters longer than usual, in order to make sure that the manga reached the story content in 110 the monthly release right before season 5 was to end.

Is this just copium? Absolutely. Am I going to look like an absolute clown in two days when this post ages like milk? Probably. But the evidence is There, so let me just enjoy my delusions until Sunday, okay 🥂🫡

There's been an ask in my inbox for the last couple of days that I haven't answered because I feel like it's purposely trying to disparage the autistic community, and frankly I was unwilling to give in to the rage-baiting. But it did sort of bring up an interesting point and after some thought, I think I need to address it.

It's not really any of my business nor is it my place to cast judgment on people who reclaim the r-slur. Yes, it's been used pejoratively against me in the past, but I'm not a member of the neurodiverse communities that it is more commonly used against so honestly I don't think I really get an opinion on how they see fit to use it. If people want to reclaim it, let them be. If people don't, well then they don't. Let them also be.

That being said, however, I am a member of the physically disabled community and there's been a big push for people to reclaim the term cripple. That's fine. Some people still don't like using the word. That's also fine. No one is wrong, and it's not my place to tell anyone that they are unless maybe they are using it in an ableist way.

And because the person in my inbox decided to bring it up, yes the same goes for the reclamation of the word queer. Some people use it, some people don't. That's absolutely fine.

What is not fine is coming onto people's blogs and trying to spread discourse just because you don't like the way some people use language in their own community.

You don't get to decide what words people can or cannot be offended by in their communities, and you don't get to try and make other people decide either.

NIGHTINGALE

[frankenjoly]

them acting so sweetly which turns out to just be a cruel dream + suegiku 👀 (did I do this right? 😭)

absolutely!!! (and it's pre-relationship but he may or may not think it's unrequited at this point)

Having Jôno like that seemed too good to be true, kind of, but it wasn’t like Tetchô got to think much about either. In fact, from the moment Jôno sat on his lap and joined their lips together, thinking was basically out of the picture.

To be more precise, Tetchô could still form some thoughts, but every single one was laser focused on his partner and everything he was doing: Jôno’s hands making their way towards his hair to ruffle it and caress his scalp, his legs moving to circle Tetchô’s waist, and how the kiss went from soft to intense without losing the smallest shard of sweetness. Sure, Jôno didn’t really ever leave his mind, but right then there was nothing or no one else he could pay attention to but him.

Needless to say, it barely took mere seconds for Tetchô to reciprocate the kiss, to  grasp the fabric of Jôno’s shirt holding onto his back in almost desperation.

“Jôno.” He whispered, as if speaking up even just a little would shatter the moment immediately. “I lo–” 

And yet, it wouldn’t have mattered, for the magic dissipated anyway.

In the blink of an eye, or more accurately in the time one needed to open their eyes, Tetchô found himself awake and… alone? No, not really, since shortly after a hand swiftly pinched his cheek.

“Damn, awake at last.” His partner’s voice greeted him, followed suit by a sigh. “You have a… visit, I guess. Some kid who says he knows you.”

oh baby, it’s cold outside

hi, i’m andi, i live in the midwest, and i am freezing.

so, instead of getting up and leaving my comfy comfy bed, i wrote this fluffy, little byler ficlet for all of you. set during the 1994 north american cold wave so will and mike are almost 23! enjoy your domestic, established relationship byler. <3 

—

It’s freezing in the apartment.

Okay, so maybe Will isn’t the best person to gauge just how cold it is in the crummy little apartment he and Mike have lived in for almost a year now. Will feels like he’s always cold, which really isn’t great for a person who lives in Chicago and also who lives in an apartment where the heat only works half the time.

But today, Will knows it’s not just him. No, it’s literally freezing cold today.

Basically all of the Midwest has turned into the equivalent of a freezer. It’s about -20 degrees today, but the last Will saw on the news before he and Mike went to bed last night, the weatherman was predicting wind chills of close to -70 degrees.

(You know it’s going to be a miserable day when somehow, even the Upside Down and the weird blend of Hawkins and the Upside Down had higher temperatures than Chicago, Illinois currently does.)

With a soft sigh, Will burrows closer to his boyfriend, pulling the comforter as close to them as he possibly can. Mike is still asleep—with a thin little line of drool trickling out of his mouth—but when Will moves close to him and makes himself comfortable in Mike’s arms, a sleepy little smile forms on Mike’s face.

He pulls Will even closer, and with his eyes still closed, he presses a soft kiss to Will’s cheek. “Please tell me it’s not time to get up,” Mike mumbles, his voice groggy.

Will laughs quietly. “Nope,” he answers, shifting to wrap his arms around Mike too. “They canceled school today, remember? So kids don’t have to stand outside and wait for the bus.”

Mike merely hums in response. He still hasn’t opened his eyes yet, and he looks rather adorable like this—with his hair all ruffled and with a sleepy smile on his face and yes, even with the drool in the corner of his mouth. Will just smiles, and as Mike shifts towards him, Will holds him closer, resting his hands gently on Mike’s back.

A beat passes.

Then:

“Shit!” Mike gasps, suddenly recoiling and giving Will an offended look. “Will!”

“What?” Will demands—partially confused but also partially annoyed at the sudden loss of his personal space warmer. “What’s wrong?”

“Your hands,” Mike whines. “Your hands are freezing, Will.”

There’s a very adorable and also very sleepy pout on Mike’s face, and honestly, Will can’t help it. He bursts into laughter—like full on, belly laughter that lasts probably longer than it should for barely 8 in the morning.

Luckily though, Mike doesn’t think he’s crazy—or maybe he does, and he’s just making good on his promise that they’d go crazy together. He joins Will’s laughter with silly, quiet laughs of his own, and he scoots back closer to Will, reaching for Will’s hands.

“How are you always so cold?” Mike asks with an incredulous laugh, holding Will’s hands between this in an obvious attempt to warm them up.

“It’s not my fault today,” Will reminds. “Subzero temperatures outside, remember? -70 degree with the wind chill?”

Mike groans, and he closes his eyes, pressing both their hands against his forehead. “Let’s move to California,” he suggests. “Lucas, Max, and El are out there. I’m sure we could find jobs.”

“Mike, you hate it when the temperature gets above 80 degrees.”

“Well, I also hate it when it gets below -70 degrees,” Mike says stubbornly, opening his eyes and looking at Will. “And you’re always freezing, so…”

Will just smiles, and he shakes his head, leaning forward and kissing his boyfriend gently. “I’m pretty sure the deal we made when we moved to Chicago for school is that if I got cold, you would just keep me warm,” he reminds teasingly. “So, I’m doing just fine here.”

Mike narrows his eyes, a bit playfully, and he lowers their hands, still holding Will’s hands between his. “You’re not allowed to touch me until your hands are warmed up,” he decides. “And don’t even think about taking off your socks, because God knows your feet are probably freezing.”

Will rolls his eyes. “You’re crazy, you know?”

Mike merely hums in response, then he lifts their hands, placing a soft kiss against the back of Will’s hand. “Maybe a little,” he agrees, and he kisses Will’s hand again, scooting close. “Or maybe just crazy for you?”

“Now that was a bad joke,” Will teases softly, and he leans forward, kissing Mike—slow and sweet. “Could’ve at least said something about going crazy together.”

“My brain isn’t fully awake yet,” Mike huffs, but he’s smiling too. “And all my brainpower is just focused on warming you up.”

“My hero,” Will deadpans, and Mike just rolls his eyes, before placing another soft kiss against Will’s hand. Then, he lets go of both of Will’s hands and pulls Will back into his arms, hugging him close.

It’s warm in Mike’s arms—warm and safe and familiar and comforting. And though the two of them have been together for over five years now, that doesn’t stop the fluttery feeling that forms inside Will’s stomach when he’s close to Mike. It’s like the two of them are still finding new ways to fall in love with each other—more and more every single day.

“We’re staying in bed all day today, right?” Mike mumbles pressing his forehead against Will’s and smiling sleepily.

“Sounds like a plan to me,” Will whispers back, and he leans forward, kissing his boyfriend softly. Mike just smiles, leaning in closer and kissing Will back, and Will can’t help but smile.

Little moments like this… they’re what he’s always dreamed and never imagined he would get to have. But now, Will is here—safe and warm and wrapped up in the arms of the person who loves more than anything else in the world.

And he’s happy. God, Will is just so, so happy.

“I love you,” Mike murmurs, and he offers Will another sleepy smile.

Will just smiles back, hugging Mike closer, and he closes his eyes. “I love you too.”

(It’s freezing in the apartment—and in the world outside their doors.

But that’s okay. Will doesn’t have anywhere to be right now.

Everything he needs is right next to him.)

is it fair to say the 'e' in your name doesn't stand for electronic either?

anon... what? sorry but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Watching Bad's vod where q!Foolish, q!Cellbit and q!Baghera are trying to set up q!Bad with q!Forever, now with CC!Bad's comment about his character being oblivious in an aromatic way is great

The others talking about who to ship q!Bad with while he sits in his chair, the aromantic and skephalo flag slowly fading into the background because this man will not be with ANYONE unless it's Skeppy

And I love that about him. They're currently talking in metaphors and q!Bad is just "????? I don't understand" and I love him for it.

Foolish: we're talking about the emotions in your heart right now!

Bad: Diamonds are forever!

Either he did that on purpose or that's the best coincidence to ever happen
