Heartstopper S1E3: "Kiss" -- A very non-inclusive sample of fantastic acting via facial expression by Joe Locke

You can practically see words running across Charlie's face here. "I don't under- What do you mean?"

Look at this LIP QUIVER after Charlie looks down. This is just before he takes the bold step of moving them from the abstract into the concrete by touching his pinkie to Nick's, and then asking, "Would you kiss me?"

Charlie has been working very hard to remain outwardly patient, calm and positive-neutral after they've kissed. When Charlie asks Nick if he's okay (with an eyebrow twitch of hopeful pleading that escapes his careful containment) and Nick's focus is taken away from Charlie's face, it's safe for Charlie to momentarily drop his mask a little bit. We then catch a glimpse of just how much Nick's answer to this question matters to Charlie before his face re-softens for Nick.

Undercover Angel AU - Part 2

<- Part 1 - Part 3 ->

Still unsure about my Angel!Alastor design. Mostly just regarding his color palette. I like the idea of his Heaven colors being nearly opposite of his Hell colors. I also love the idea of his angel version being closer to how he looked when he was alive.

Just wanted to include the lined page cuz I like it.

Looking for residents for Happy Home Hills! 🏡

Open call for sims and/or sim families to move into a hippy community Happy Home Hills in Ravenwood's Whispering Glen! This isn't as much as a community challenge as Take a Hike was, but to simply look for neighbors for certain sims I will be playing on this lot. I won't yet say too much who those people are, but let it be known that the bee🐝 save is involved…. 👀

🏵️What are we looking for?🏵️

Families or singles of 1-8 sims, of all ages and genders and whatnot! No occults but pets are definitely welcome as part of the family.

The whole family should have at least 1 outfit for each category, and they can have as much skills and preferences and jobs as you just want to give them! The richer the backstory, the better!

cc is allowed: maxis mix, no alpha hair, no cc traits or aspirations (other than from the mods mentioned below⬇️)

I use Wicked Whims, Lumpinou’s Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul Collection and Basemental drugs, so sims can have traits and other features based on them. (Such as wicked attributes, thoughts on kids etc.) Sliders and presets are fine! I have my own defaults so please don’t include any override cc though!

And what comes to dlc packs i own almost every one, excluding Sweet slumber party, Business chic and Sweet allure kits so try avoid using those.

No deadline atm, I'll close the submissions if need be. I'm going to add the families into my savefile as I get them for a natural gameplay. Maximum capacity for families is around 12 so there's room for all! I plan to renovate rest of the Whispering Glen's lots accordingly so there's a lot of flexibility.

welcome to umbra boulevard of forgotten hollow—a realm of charm shrouded in mystery. sip coffee at midnight brew, explore hemlock's books and antiques, or grab a bite to eat at winslow's. But tread carefully; whispers of locals vanishing into the night have cast a shadow over this once-bustling spot. as darkness descends, the dive bar, fledermaus bend buzzes with nervous laughter, while the abandoned hotel harbors forgotten tales. every corner holds a secret, and trust is a fleeting shadow.

type: cafe, lounge, library, bar, museum, etc. price: §412,388 size: 30x30 location: fledermaus bend, forgotten hollow play tested: ✅ (see notes below) download:  ⬇️ umbra boulevard (cc).zip (10.6 mb) ⬇️ umbra boulevard (cc free).zip (426 kb)

notes: cc free now available and cc-lite, cc included. if you want to use as a multi-functional lot, i'd recommend spawn npc mods such as: spawn refresher (zerbu), "vendor" everywhere (kuttoe), auto employees lot trait (littemssam). i've resolved all major routing issues, but one minor routing issue is that the attic in abandoned hotel is not accessible unless you teleport your sim there.

Brooklyn, New York - 2:30PM

Today, the catering area was bustling with everyone grabbing a bite to fuel up before heading back to the performance center, whether to hit the gym, strategize for the evening's events, or rehearse their scripts for the backstage segments and ring performances before the show kicks off.

Jimmy sat with his twin brother, Zilla, and the street profits, sharing a meal and chatting. He glanced around, hoping to spot Genesis, who rarely showed up at catering for some inexplicable reason. As he looked over, he caught Zilla's intense gaze, filled with irritation, as if he were annoyed with Jimmy for getting in the way of his pursuit of Genesis.

At that moment, he caught a recognizable voice drifting into the catering hall. Turning his head, he spotted Genesis and Jade sharing a laugh over something amusing. His gaze fell on Genesis’s outfit, which appeared cozy and flattering; the way her long grey leggings clung to her curves made his mouth water.

Zilla noticed the intense glare from Jimmy, who was struggling to restrain himself from delivering a punch to his face right there in front of everyone, including Genesis, because she was his and not Jimmy's.

As she and Jade approached the table, they waved at the group. Her gaze met Jimmy's, who was grinning and gesturing for her to join him. She noticed him rising to his feet, and together they executed the special handshake they had created earlier that morning.

Once their handshake concluded, Jimmy pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her waist in a warm embrace. The familiar scent of his favorite cologne enveloped her, and she buried her face against his chest, savoring the fragrance she adored.

Zilla couldn't contain himself when he saw the two of them embracing; he sprang up from the table, yanked Jimmy by the hem of his hoodie, and delivered a punch to his face, leaving everyone around them, including Genesis, in shock.

Zilla rained down punches on Jimmy's face, delivering blow after blow, but they barely fazed him as he shielded himself. In a swift move, Jimmy reversed their positions, now pinning Zilla beneath him, landing strikes to his face before gripping his throat tightly.

“The fuck is wrong with you?” Jimmy questioned him as Zilla pushed him off of him leaving vain and Jimmy standing there.

"You want to know what the real issue is? You took Genesis away from me! You weren't even considering her!" Zilla shouted, attempting to lunge at Jimmy, but Jimmy countered with a punch to his gut, making him wince. "Took? I didn't take anything from you! Gigi and I are just friends, so what the hell are you talking about?"

Zilla swung once more, granting Jimmy a chance to land a powerful right hook to his face, making Zilla stagger momentarily before he could no longer hold back and forcefully slammed Jimmy against the table.

The scene unfolding before Genesis was almost triggering, reminiscent of the times Quincy would explode over trivial matters, leaving destruction in his wake. She could vividly recall the shards of glass scattered across the floor and the sight of a broken table, a haunting reminder that filled her with fear.

Jade observed from her position, covering her ears to block out the turmoil surrounding them. Genesis wrapped her arms around her in a comforting embrace. But why was Zilla acting this way? He understood that he wouldn’t receive anything from her, so why direct his anger at his cousin?

Jey intervened in the brawl, shoving Zilla away to shield his older brother, who stared at him in disbelief.

“What the fuck is goin on with you Isayah?” 

“You fucking knew! You knew!”

"What do you mean? They’re just friends! Zilla, I don’t know what’s going on with you, but you really need to calm down. Are you okay, Jon?" Jimmy nodded, stealing a glance at Genesis, whose face was buried in Jade’s chest. His expression softened at the sight.

But why was she doing that?

Jey lifted his brother from the ground as Jimmy examined his lip, noticing blood on his fingers. Realizing that his cousin had split his bottom lip, he couldn't help but chuckle while shaking his head in disbelief.

“I’m trippin? You know what I should just fuck yo’ ass up some more you bitch!” Zilla tried running up on him again but this time Jey held him back pushing him away harshly. “Isayah! Dawg! Chill the fuck out!”

“Nah fuck that! I had her first! Until he came and swept her off of her feet within seconds!”

“Maybe I’m just a better choice for her than you are knowing your reputation Isayah.” Zilla forcefully shoved Jey aside and landed a powerful right hook on Jimmy's face. In the same motion, he slammed Jimmy to the ground, mercilessly pounding his head against the floor.

Jade led Genesis away from the chaos, guiding her toward the ladies' locker room. As they entered, she noticed Genesis trembling and on the verge of tears. Kneeling beside her, Jade placed her hands gently on Genesis's shoulders, offering comfort in the midst of her distress.

“Look at me Gigi, he’s not here okay? Quincy is not here. Look at me Genesis.” Jade spoke softly while Genesis gazed up at her, tears glistening in her eyes as she brushed them away.

“He’s not here Gigi, it’s just two men fighting over you well from my understanding. Is there anything going on between you and Jim?” She asked.

In addition to spending time together after work, they often returned to their hotel rooms, deepening their connection and getting to know one another better with each passing day as they worked to strengthen their bond.

“No. We are just friends hanging out together, that's all nothing more.” Genesis responded while sniffing her nose.

Jade gave her that look as Genesis sighed, “we aren’t doing anything Jade I told you I’m not ready for all of that stuff. He’s just protecting me from Zilla because you know what he wants from me.”

“Is he really ‘protecting’ you? Or piping you down because you’ve been glowing all day today.” Genesis hit Jade in her arm knowing that she hated being teased by her. “No! He’s just protecting me. That's all besides he’s been the main reason why I have been glowing lately. Jimmy is a really great friend, that's all nothing more.”

Jade nodded, choosing not to delve deeper into the conversation. However, she sensed that something was brewing between Genesis and Jimmy, and she was certain that the truth would eventually come to light.

Genesis felt a wave of worry for Jimmy, questioning his well-being after the altercation with Zilla over her. She had managed to regain her composure after experiencing a mental breakdown earlier when she witnessed their confrontation.

“Where’s Jimmy? Is he okay?” Genesis asked.

“Yeah, he should be in him and Jey’s locker room right now probably looking for you.” Jade responded as Genesis nodded her heading towards his locker room.

While making her way to the locker room shared by him and Jey, she suddenly heard shouting and the sound of objects being tossed about. As she rounded the corner, she caught a brief glimpse of Zilla in a chaotic state, muttering to himself amidst the turmoil.

“Why he always gotta steal the spotlight? Why can’t he let me just have her the way I want to?”

“He should be worried about Trinity instead of stealing Genesis from me.”

“When he isn’t there I’ll just snatch her away from his grasp within seconds.”

In Genesis' view, Jimmy exuded more charm and humor than Zilla. Unlike Zilla, who seemed eager to grab her number or win her over instantly, Jimmy's appeal felt effortless. As she strolled by, Genesis decided she didn’t want to dwell on it any longer, catching Zilla's eye as he noticed her making her way down the hallway.

He shouted her name, but she ignored him, rounding the corner to head toward Jimmy and Jey's locker room. Zilla was aware of her destination and quickly closed the gap between them. When he reached her, he seized her wrist and pressed his lips against hers with a force that took her by surprise for a brief moment.

Zilla's tongue grazed her lips, nipping at the bottom one and eliciting a pained groan from her. He forcefully pushed his tongue deep into her throat, eager to assert his dominance and prove himself superior to Jimmy. He was convinced that he could satisfy her in ways Jimmy never could.

The moment Zilla kissed her neck and slipped his hand beneath her clothing, she realized everything.

Genesis forcefully shoved him aside, delivering a sharp slap to his face as she glared at him with intensity.

“What the fuck Zilla? Are you crazy?” 

“Yeah! You over here with this fool instead of me!” 

Genesis scoffed at him while folding her arms over chest, “you’re so delusional about all of this—I’m not looking for anything serious and I’m most definitely not giving up my celibacy to you so fucking relax.” 

“So what? You giving up to Jimmy then?” If she did, what did that have to do with him? It wasn’t his business what she and Jimmy were doing behind closed doors. “Nigga, ion gotta answer to you.”

Just as she was ready to turn and leave, he suddenly pulled her arm with more force, causing her to stare at him in disbelief, as if he had lost his mind.

“Imma have you one way or another baby, Jimmy don’t know what to do with all of this.” She pulled her arm free from his hold and made her way to Jimmy and Jey's locker room. Fear gripped her at his words; she couldn't shake the feeling that Zilla was the kind of person who craved control, and it was beginning to unsettle her.

As she reached the door, she knocked and could hear Jimmy's voice, accompanied by Jey's in the background, discussing the recent events involving Zilla and Jimmy.

“Dawg, what the fuck was that?”

“I don’t know Twin, he was trippin.”

“Is something going on between you and Gigi?”

The room became silent for a moment waiting for Jimmy’s answer. 

“No, I’m just protecting her from him that’s all.”

“You sure you ain’t piping her down? Yo’ ass spend less time with Trinity and then sharing hotel rooms with each other. What's up with that?”

“She asked because she didn’t want to be alone with Zilla around acting fucking crazy.”

“You didn’t answer my first question though Twin.”

Why does everyone assume that they’re all sleeping with each other? Just because they’re sharing rooms and hanging out a lot after work doesn’t imply that they’re involved in anything intimate.

“No, I’m not fucking her twin. That’s not my intention, I’m just being her friend. That's all I have a lot of respect for Gigi.”

Genesis knocked on the door again.

“A’ight I won’t push it any further lemme see who’s knocking at the door.”

As soon as she heard the door creak open, she spotted Jey standing there, a grin lighting up his face upon noticing her. She returned his smile before he could utter a word.  “What’s up, Gigi?”

Genesis glanced over at Jey, her concern evident. "I just wanted to check on Jimmy and make sure he’s alright. I hope I’m not interrupting anything." Jey shook his head, a warm smile spreading across his face. "No worries, Gigi. I was just about to leave anyway." He had welcomed her into the locker room, where Jimmy sat on a bench, absorbed in his phone, an ice pack resting on his forehead.

She observed that his lip was swollen, marked by a faint bruise, and his knuckles bore similar signs of injury. The sight of his bruises softened her gaze. As she approached him, she instantly captured his attention, and he looked up to meet her eyes.

She had that worried expression on her face glancing down at him.

“I’m okay Gigi, I promise.  Come sit down.” Jimmy spoke gently as Genesis settled beside him on the couch, her thumbs soothingly gliding over his bruised knuckles.

“Doesn’t this hurt?” Genesis asked.

“Nah, it doesn’t hurt. I’m fine Gigi, are you okay though? I saw you earlier hugging Jade when all of that was happening.” Could this be the ideal moment to share her thoughts with him? She remembers the countless instances during her marriage to Quincy when he would become furious over the smallest things, creating a tense atmosphere that felt like a Cold War within their home.

The situation became even more unbearable for her, particularly during her pregnancy with his child, which she ultimately lost because of the immense stress Quincy caused her. His decision to place the blame on her only deepened her pain.

She gazed at him, aware that he was patiently awaiting her response. “Y-yeah, I’m fine, Jimmy,” she replied. Jimmy arched an eyebrow, sensing that she was not being entirely truthful, but chose not to press the matter any further.

“Everyone is thinking we fucking each other, can’t you believe that?” Genesis mentioned as she chuckled.

He chuckled with her, “yeah, it’s crazy. Even Jey had asked me about that before you came in.” Jimmy responded by taking the ice pack off his head.

Despite their mutual fantasies, Genesis understood that a reality between them was unlikely to materialize in the near future.

Jimmy winced at the pulsating ache in his head. Genesis, the ultimate head massager, had unexpectedly risen from the couch and settled herself on his lap, momentarily stunning him as he looked up to admire her beauty.

He quickly rested his free hand on her waist to prevent her from toppling over as she gazed down at him. “Place my hand on where it hurts so I can fix it.”

“Mamas, you don’t have to do this, it's fine. I can just take some tylenol when I get back to the hotel.”

“Lemme’ do it Jimmy.” With determination, she pressed on as Jimmy clutched her hand and guided it to the source of his discomfort at the back of his head. Instantly, she started to knead the area with both hands, eliciting a low groan from him.

His face nestled against her neck while she softly kneaded the back of his head. He set his phone aside on the couch and wrapped his other arm around her waist, drawing her nearer to him.

“Fuck, Gigi. You’re so good at this.” Jimmy groaned.

She shrugged her shoulders, “what can I say? My mother taught me well.” Genesis felt immense gratitude towards her mother for the care she provided and for teaching her how to support a man in times of need. Growing up, her father was often absent, frequently coming and going or failing to show up altogether, until her mother found a new partner.

Her life took a turn when her stepfather began to demonstrate what it truly means for a father to love his daughter. He imparted valuable lessons on how a man should care for his partner, which she carried into her relationship with Quincy.

She followed all the lessons her mother instilled in her, yet he still chose to betray her trust and inflict emotional pain. The principles her stepfather had shared about how a man should treat and care for a woman seemed to vanish when it came to Quincy. However, those very ideals resurfaced whenever she was with Jimmy.

His tenderness and patience towards her were remarkable, as if he was savoring each moment or carefully nurturing the bond of friendship they shared.

The alluring fragrance of her perfume enveloped Jimmy, drawing him in irresistibly. He leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her neck, sending delightful shivers racing down her spine.

The kiss was soft and tender, leaving a lingering warmth. He repeated the gesture, sending delightful shivers through her. As he rested on her chest, Genesis lovingly massaged the back of his head, their eyes meeting in a moment of connection.

“Hmm, you so good a taking care of me mamas.” Jimmy said softly.

She looked down at him, catching sight of his puppy-like eyes gazing up at her, which brought a fleeting smile to her face.

“That’s what friends are for Jim, and again I thank my mother for teaching me how to take care of a man.” Genesis responded as she felt him rubbing his hands against her back causing her breath to hitch a bit while he held onto her firmly.

He found himself in a challenging situation, with her breasts pressed against him as she straddled his lap. Despite his efforts to refrain from kissing her, the intimacy of her massaging his head and the closeness they shared made it nearly impossible to resist. He could sense her discomfort, yet the chemistry between them was undeniable.

“What’chu doing later on tonight?” 

“Probably be in my hotel room watching something on the TV laying down in bed why?”

“You wanna go get some dinner before then? Knowing we got another flight to catch in the morning.”

They had another flight to catch on Friday morning, and following that, they would enjoy a two-day weekend before making their way to Monday Night Raw in Houston.

“Yeah, sure I wouldn’t mind. Even though I'd rather be at home and eat but for you I’ll go.” Jimmy laughed softly, recognizing that she was an introvert by preference—she clearly wasn’t the kind of person who thrived in bustling environments filled with people. “What time should I be prepared?”

“Be ready by nine, and send me your hotel room number so that way we could meet up.”

Genesis gently nodded as she continued to knead the back of his head, while Jimmy rested his head on her chest, savoring her beauty. She remained dedicated to easing his headache, fully absorbed in her task.

New York Marriott Downtown - 8:50PM

Genesis was just putting the final touches on her makeup when she noticed her phone light up with a notification from her best friend, Jade. She let out a deep sigh, bracing herself for the playful teasing she knew Jade would unleash about the dinner that Jimmy had organized for this evening.

Jadebae🌪️: JIMMY IS TAKING YOU TO DINNER BITCH?

Genesis sighed in exasperation, curious about who had spilled the beans to her best friend regarding her dinner date with Jimmy.

Gigi🤍: Yes, can you calm down? It’s just a casual dinner date that’s all nothing special is going to happen Jade who-even told you this?

Jadebae🌪️: NOTHING SPECIAL? GIRL

Jadebae🌪️: Jey had told me about it ����

That figures she knew Jey would’ve ran his mouth about it to her as soon as Jimmy told him.

Gigi🤍: sigh I knew he would as soon as Jimmy told him 🙄

Jadebae🌪️: but girrrrl I heard that Samoan dick ain’t nun to play with 

Gigi🤍: I don’t need to know that? Girl you know I’ve been celibate for like five years straight now I’m not just finna give him some when it’s just two friends going to dinner together

Jadebae🌪️: 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m passing down the message from what I heard in the ladies locker room

Gigi🤍: was it about Jimmy?

Jadebae🌪️: nah it was about Zilla though one of the girls said that dick was good and huge so imma assume that Jimmy is also packing as well 

Gigi🤍: again didn’t need to know that Jade we ain’t fucking

Just as she was about to reply, a notification from Jimmy caught her eye, prompting her to click on the message to see what it said.

Jimmy❤️‍🩹: Come open your door mamas I’m outside

She replied to Jade's message, letting her know that she needed to leave and would share the details later when she returned to the hotel room. After tucking her phone and the hotel room key card into her purse, she spritzed some perfume on herself before making her way to the door.

As she swung the door open, there he was, his towering 6'3" frame casting a shadow that made her feel petite. In his hand, he held a stunning bouquet of roses, instantly bringing a smile to her face. Her eyes quickly scanned his outfit for the evening—Jimmy was sporting a sleek all-black ensemble, complemented by his panda dunks and a Cuban link chain that glimmered around his neck. The piercings in both earlobes caught her attention, especially the grills that sparkled at the bottom of his teeth whenever he flashed a grin.

“These are for you.” Jimmy said while Genesis accepted the flowers from him, setting them down on the table fixed to the hotel room.

“Thank you for the roses, I love them.” Genesis responded.

Jimmy paused to appreciate Genesis' stunning beauty, extending his hand for her to grasp as he twirled her around, taking in the sight of her elegant black dress. She looked absolutely radiant tonight. He ran his tongue along his lips, savoring the moment.

“You look stunning Gigi.”

“Why, thank you sir. You look great too.”

“You ready to go? Ion want us to be late.”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

As Genesis wrapped her arm around his, they strolled toward the elevator. She pressed the button and they stood together, eagerly awaiting the doors to open so they could embark on their date.

As she waited, she was unaware that Jimmy had slipped behind her, encircling her waist. He gently brushed her hair aside and planted a lingering kiss on her neck, then trailed his lips down to her shoulder blades, igniting a wave of warmth and desire that stirred deep within her.

“J-Jimmy?” She said softly.

“What’s up Mamas?” His voice resonated deeply, a rich timbre that sent shivers racing down her spine, prompting her to tilt her head further, inviting him to draw closer.

“What are you doing boy?” As she turned to look at him, their faces drew near, and it struck them both that they hadn't shared a kiss since that night at the hotel they spent together.

For a brief moment, they were captivated by each other's gaze, completely absorbed in one another. However, the sound of the elevator dinging as its doors slid open jolted them back to reality. Jimmy gently released his hold on her waist, allowing her to step into the elevator first, before he followed closely behind.

The elevator doors slid shut as she pressed the button for the lobby on the first floor. A heavy silence enveloped them, just inches apart. Genesis felt a warmth spreading within her, a throbbing ache that made her instinctively rub her thighs together in an attempt to soothe the sensation building between her legs.

Jimmy observed this as he pressed his lips together, tucking them in slightly. He was aware that his presence had a profound impact on her, causing her to become flustered and anxious whenever he was near or made contact with her.

As the elevator doors slid open, Genesis stepped out first, with Jimmy close behind. He wrapped his arm around her waist, prompting her to glance up at him with a sweet, innocent smile, as if she hadn’t just been subtly rubbing her thighs together moments before.

They arrived at his rental car parked in front of the building. He opened the passenger door for her, and she climbed into the Tesla, gently shutting the door behind her.

As he slid into the car, he spotted her already secured in her seat, observing him intently as he clicked his seatbelt into place and backed out of her driveway, setting off toward their evening's adventure.

As Genesis gazed through the window, the stars twinkled in the dark expanse above, while the moon cast a gentle light over everything, illuminating the buildings that sparkled throughout New York City. While they drove to the restaurant, she sensed his hand resting softly on her thigh, leading her to sneak a quick look at him, savoring the closeness they shared in that moment.

This evening, he looked incredibly handsome; it's remarkable how someone like him can possess such charm. His charisma seems timeless, and as he drove, Genesis found herself utterly captivated by him.

Every time she was near him, her mind was flooded with tantalizing fantasies—visions of him taking her, pushing her to her limits in a way that left her breathless and yearning for more.

“You love looking at me don’t you?” Jimmy asked as she turned her attention towards the city lights.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about Jimmy.” Genesis responded with him caressing her thigh.

“Mhm, don’t play pretend now lil mama. I know you were stealing glances at me.” He said, glancing at her.

Genesis felt a knot of tension in his stomach as he tenderly squeezed and stroked her thigh with one hand on the steering wheel—he looked irresistibly handsome in that moment.

As they paused at the red light, Genesis sensed his hand gently lifting her chin, drawing her gaze into his warm, chocolate brown eyes. His thumb softly glided across her cheek, prompting a smile to bloom on her face at his unexpected caress.

“You so fucking pretty, it doesn’t make sense to me mamas.” No man had ever praised her quite like Jimmy did; he openly admired her beauty and cherished her smile.

He couldn't help but melt at her smile; it had an immediate effect on him. If he were being truthful, her grin sent a rush of excitement through him, stirring something deep within. She remained blissfully unaware of the powerful hold she had over him. As the traffic light shifted to green, he pressed on the accelerator, steering them toward their evening's adventure.

As they arrived at the restaurant's parking area, Jimmy turned off the engine and stepped out of the car. He made his way to her side and graciously opened the door for her.

Genesis grasped his hand, feeling that the shadows in his eyes carried a unique intensity tonight, even though she couldn't fully understand its meaning.

“You ready to head inside? You’re going to love the view.” Jimmy said.

“The view? Oh my god c’mon boy let’s go!” Genesis said as she dragged Jimmy with her inside of the building causing him to chuckle.

After dinner, Genesis stepped outside to take in the stunning cityscape, a glass of wine cradled in her hand. She appreciated how thoughtfully Jimmy had organized this evening for them. It was exactly what she needed, and she relished every moment of it.

In that moment, she sensed Jimmy's hands encircling her waist, drawing her nearer to him. The familiar scent of his favorite cologne enveloped her, intoxicating her senses as they both gazed at the breathtaking cityscape before them.

He gently pressed his lips against the back of her neck, brushing her hair aside to place soft kisses on the left side as well.

“Did you enjoy tonight Gigi?” Jimmy asked.

“Mhm, I really did. This was a need honestly just to be away from a lot things and being in my head a lot thinking about things.” Genesis responded.

“Yeah, I feel you on that. If you don’t mind me asking—what made you honestly file for divorce?” He was really delving into personal matters tonight, which made sense since he was eager to learn more about her and gain a deeper insight into her marriage.

Genesis savored the final sip of her wine, setting the glass gently on the outdoor table before responding to his question. Should she reveal the true motivation behind her choice? Did she want to share the painful experience of her miscarriage and the toll it had taken on her mental well-being?

His thumb glided gently along her sides, instilling a sense of comfort that he effortlessly created, allowing her body to unwind completely.

“Honestly…” she begins to say, “I was just so done and mentally out of the marriage—I got tired of him sneaking around my back cheating and then would just emotionally abuse me making me feel less than.” She continued.

Jimmy was listening to her attentively as he continued to rub against her sides. 

“Especially when I had a miscarriage due to the stress and him saying all of these horrible things to me including him threatening to hurt me.”

Miscarriage? She was pregnant?

She chuckled softly, “I felt so stupid for letting him get me pregnant and end up having a miscarriage due to him—you know he put the blame on me for the loss of our child? I was so pissed, really pissed.”

His heart shattered upon hearing her words; he had no idea she had endured so much with that man. The revelation filled him with a rage that overshadowed his sadness, intensifying his desire to confront the man who had hurt Genesis.

“That’s when I knew that it was time for me to leave him and divorce him but the final straw was when he stole money from me when I was the one that built his stupid company and that just opened my eyes even more—I just went ahead and filed for divorce.” Genesis sensed her eyes becoming watery and her nose starting to drip as she sniffled and dabbed at her tears.

Jimmy gently cupped her chin, guiding her gaze to meet his. He noticed her eyes shimmering with unshed tears, and it pained him deeply to witness her sorrow. Before he spoke, he tenderly brushed the tears from her cheeks. “No man shouldn’t put their wife through that including you, you’re too precious mamas.”

His words landed on her like a weighty stone, bringing a sheen to her eyes once more. “You deserve everything, Gigi, the entire universe, really. Any man would be lucky to have you, I swear it—just look at you.” He twirled her around, eliciting a laugh from her.

“You’re a fucking diamond Gigi.” To him, she was truly a diamond; her beauty consistently ensnared his spirit whenever she entered the room, radiating allure. It ignited a spark within him as well.

“Honestly, I don’t know if I’m ready for another relationship, Jimmy—I don’t know if someone else will heal my scars and what I’ve been through during them 5 years with Quincy. I’ve been closing my heart out for so long I don’t know if I’m ready.” Genesis said.

Genesis was certain that she wasn't seeking anything serious and believed she wasn't prepared to enter another relationship. However, every time she was near Jimmy, something would spark inside her. His touch, his kisses, and the way he held her close at night stirred something deep within her.

But was she truly prepared for everything that lay ahead? Was she willing to dismantle her defenses and allow her heart to be vulnerable once more?

"I get it, Gigi. When you meet the right guy, you'll feel ready," he said. "Just keep in mind that you're a precious diamond, and don't let anyone convince you otherwise, okay?" Genesis nodded, feeling comforted as he tenderly stroked her cheek with his thumb and pressed a gentle kiss on her temple.

Unbeknownst to them, a furious observer lurked within the building, seething at the sight of the two enjoying their date together.

“You ready to go home or you wanna stay here for a little bit?” 

“I want to enjoy the view of the city a little bit more then you can take us back to the hotel.” Jimmy gently nodded while wrapping his arms around her waist, burying his face in her shoulder as they both took in the breathtaking view of the city.

As the soothing sounds of cars and the gentle breeze intertwined, the melody of "Seoul City" by Jennie filled the restaurant, prompting them to sway together in harmony with the music.

Jimmy embraced her tightly, her face nestled against his chest, inhaling the scent of his favorite cologne as they swayed to the music. She felt his hand softly caressing her back, while his fingers intertwined with her smaller ones, creating an intimate connection between them.

As they danced, their gazes locked, and in the rhythm of the music, she noticed a glimmer in his deep chocolate brown eyes—something she hadn't encountered in quite some time.

He twirled her around before leaning her back, drawing her close so they could gaze into each other's eyes again. The intensity of his stare made her shyly avert her gaze, overwhelmed by a rush of nerves.

"Turn your gaze to me, princess." His voice was deep and resonant, compelling her to focus on him right away. "You're so incredibly beautiful, darling." The way his tone lowered sent a wave of warmth through her, making her heart flutter.

She had never experienced such intense desire for a man like him, who clearly understood the effect he had on her. The urge to abandon all restraint and leap into his arms was overwhelming, yet she managed to hold herself back.

She could feel his soft kisses trailing from her neck to her jawline, sending her heart racing wildly. The sensation of his lips on her cheek left her feeling flustered and breathless.

“J-Jimmy.” Genesis whispered softly.

“Hm?” Jimmy hummed.

“What are you doing?” She whispered.

He gently held her chin, their noses almost touching, both longing for a kiss and desiring more from one another. Their lips barely grazed against each other.

Yearning.

Begging.

So Desperately.

So Teasingly.

She bit her lower lip, pulling it back in a silent plea for him to kiss her, while the song playing in the background intensified the moment.

‘I see your soul.’

‘let me ease your mind.’

Jimmy pressed his lips to hers as they lost themselves in a passionate kiss—this one was unlike any they had shared before. It carried a deeper sense of longing and desire, almost pleading, as if it whispered, "I want you." Genesis wrapped her arms around his neck, while his hands slid down to her hips, holding her tightly as they swayed together to the rhythm of the music.

The way his tongue danced within her mouth drew her further into the kiss, gradually intensifying their connection. She felt herself melting into the moment, lost in a blissful haze as she savored being with this man.

He possessed a menacing aura, yet he treated her with remarkable tenderness.

His caresses left her breathless, unsure of how to handle herself whenever he was near.

He effortlessly spoke all the right words, never pushing, and had a remarkable ability to put her at ease.

It was natural for him.

Jimmy's kisses traveled from her jawline to her neck, where he gently sucked, eliciting a soft moan that escaped her lips.

“J-Jimmy, wait.” She moaned softly.

“My fault princess, I got carried away.” He says softly looking into her eyes.

“Stop apologizing all the time, it’s okay. C’mon take me home sir.” Jimmy chuckled softly at her while nodding his head as she intertwined her hands with his.

Zilla was desperate to escape the scene unfolding before him—he absolutely loathed Jimmy's essence for putting him through this.

Jimmy and Genesis returned to the hotel, with her draping his coat over her shoulders to ward off the evening chill. As they reached her hotel room, she rummaged through her purse to retrieve the key card for the door.

With a smile, she slid his coat off her shoulders and handed it back to him.

“Thank you for tonight Jimmy, I enjoyed it so much.” Genesis said.

“We can do it more often if you want Gigi, or take mini walks with each other if you need a breather.” Jimmy said.

She longed for an escape like that, a chance to break free from her thoughts. "Absolutely, I would adore that," she said. He nodded in agreement, and as they embraced, she felt the warmth of his strong arms wrapped securely around her waist.

Inhaling each other's fragrance before gently separating.

“You okay by yourself tonight mama?”

“Yeah, If I’m not I’ll text you.”

“A’ight, I’ll see you in the morning?”

Genesis nodded in agreement as they exchanged farewells before she entered her hotel room. Once inside, she quickly closed the door and leaned against it, her hand resting over her heart.

Her heart raced uncontrollably. What was he doing to her? Why did he have such a profound impact on her?

Whatever it was it had her mind in a daze.

After finishing her shower, she slipped into bed beneath the sheets, yawning from exhaustion. She planned to share the details of her date with Jimmy with Jade in the morning, fully aware of her friend's curiosity.

As she prepared to go to bed, she noticed a text message from Jimmy. Curiously, she unlocked her phone to check what he had to say.

Jimmy❤️‍🩹: I miss you Gigi 

Jimmy❤️‍🩹: my bed is empty without you in it

She felt like that too.

Gigi🤍: come here then 

Jimmy❤️‍🩹: nah you c’mere now, I miss yo’ pretty ass already so come I’ll be waiting 

Genesis found herself pondering whether to enter his hotel room and nestle against his chest tonight. She bit her lower lip as she rose from the bed, reaching for her phone and slipping on her silky robe. Dressed only in a crop top and snug booty shorts, she completed her look with a pair of adorable socks on her feet.

She made her way down the hallway, turning left to open the door, as the rest of the guests were either on their own floor or sound asleep upstairs. Meanwhile, she strolled toward Jimmy's hotel room, her petite 5'2" frame moving with purpose.

As soon as she finished, she rapped on the door, anticipating his arrival to let her in. A strange sensation crept over her, as if someone were observing her from afar; the hairs on her arms stood on end, amplifying her unease.

She dismissed the thought as the door swung open, revealing his tall 6'3" frame standing shirtless. His tribal tattoos adorned his chest, and his tousled hair added to his allure, complemented by the Cuban link chain hanging around his neck. He looked absolutely stunning.

He welcomed her into his hotel room with a smile, the dim light casting shadows as the TV flickered in the background. It appeared he was engrossed in whatever was playing on the screen. His gaze caught on her robe, which clung to her figure in all the right places, prompting him to lick his lips before quickly tucking them away.

“Mamas.” He called for her as she gave him her attention.

“Yes?” Genesis spoke gently as he approached her, pulling at her robe to indicate that he wanted her to remove it.

“What’chu hiding behind this robe mama?” 

“I’m not hiding anything underneath this robe, just something I normally wear.” 

Genesis loosened her robe, allowing it to cascade to the floor, exposing her choice of sleepwear. He couldn't help but notice her pajama selection, particularly as she turned to place the robe aside, her figure swaying in the snug booty shorts that left him feeling a bit constrained in his own shorts.

She leaned forward, draping her robe over the chair, when she sensed him behind her, his hands firmly grasping her hips, drawing her nearer to his arousal that pressed against her.

Genesis turned around facing him as she looked into his eyes trying to read into them. “What Jimmy?”

“Why, you bending over like that in these little ass shorts huh?”

“Because I can? You didn’t buy these clothes now did you?” He was taken aback by her snarky remarks causing him to chuckle.

He lowered himself, lifting her by the thighs while she instinctively wrapped her arms and legs around him. He carried her toward his bed, cradling her gently between her legs.

In the cozy embrace of the bed, they snuggle closely, his face nestled against her neck as she encircles him with her arms, while he softly kisses her neck.

As her fingers delicately wove through his curls, she massaged them gently, eliciting a soft groan of pleasure from him. “Damn, Gigi. Yo’ ass finna make me fall asleep first if you keep doing that.” She chuckled at him while rolling her eyes.

“Well get some rest then, we have a long flight for Houston tomorrow morning.”

“You're right.” She noticed him drifting in and out of slumber, his eyes gently shutting, while she absentmindedly twirled her hair curls, captivated by the scene.

As she was soon to follow, closing her eyes in the process.

The television flickered softly in the background while they drifted off to sleep, their snores intertwining as they nestled closely together. Zilla watched them from a distance, feeling a deep sense of turmoil at the sight of their intimate embrace.

He knew that she’ll be his sooner or later.

Domino scoffs and fires another bullet without looking at her target, keeping her attention to Wade with curiosity. "Logan? What, you guys are roommates now?" Wade twirls his katana like a drum major with zero coordination, "Roommates? Please. We're more like soulmates with benefits. Big, growly, stabby benefits. Don't hate me because you're single." "Yeah, right. And I'm dating Captain America." - Or, five times Wade tells people he's dating The Wolverine and the one time they finally believe him.

[emeryhall]

Thank you @run-for-chamo-miles for the tag!

In 2024, I posted 9 fics totaling 339,207 words, which is fucking batshit even if some of those words were written in 2023. My most popular fic in terms of kudos is arsonist Baz and firefighter Simon 🔥. But in terms of bookmarks, it's Blood Sugar Sex Moony (wolfstar), which includes my favorite bookmark ever ⬇️

Fics listed below the cut, plus a heartfelt PSA ❤️

January

Blood Sugar Sex Moony (wolfstar, E, 63.6K)

A vengeance-fueled, Buffy-inspired, 90s high school AU with a 17-person body count, featuring amazing art by @spikesteaseasalt.

A Little Bit Deadly (snowbaz, E, 48.9K)

New York City firefighter Simon Snow mistakenly downloads Grindr instead of Tinder and falls for British arsonist Baz Pitch. Featuring DEREK JETER and the most heart-warming art by @letraspal.

March

The Tale of a Magic-Sucking Hoover and a Rat-Drinking Monster (snowbaz, E, 38.7K)

Ghost mums, sentient buildings, and sex toys. Oh my!

June

Only Creatures (snowbaz, E, 88K)

Sad poet Baz Pitch and dragon camboy Simon Snow. Featuring Baz's beard, the hybrid-creatures camming site, OnlyCreatures, and a cameo by Taylor Swift, as well as absolutely gorgeous art by @artsyunderstudy.

October

Sidney Snow Grimm-Pitch (snowbaz, M, 43.7K)

My delightful collaboration with @artsyunderstudy, and a gift for @cutestkilla whose fic What's Left inspired this getting together later in life mpreg. Yes, mpreg.

whatever beats beneath (firstprince, E, 5.1K)

My foray into the RWRB fandom, when I thought I was writing an omarashi fic for a Kinktober prompt, but instead wrote an exploration of grief.

November

Pink Salt (Saltburn, E, 23.1K)

Sometimes the greatest love story is between an undead baker and the man who didn't realize he was a necromancer when he fucked his grave.

Bound Together in Five Dimensions (snowbaz, E, WIP, 4.7K and growing)

My CORB collab with @stardustasincocaine! I won't say anymore because we're posting the next chapter very, very soon 🩷

December

Out of the Game (firstprince, E, WIP, 23.9K and growing)

Another RWRB, this time scratching my itch to write in the detective/spy thriller genre. In the spirit of the Will Darling Adventures, and featuring truly inspired literary works by Henry, and an Alex who is perhaps not to be trusted. But then again, maybe Henry needs a little chaos in his life.

And finally, a PSA, written as much as a reminder to myself, as to anyone else who feels like their writing doesn't quite fit anywhere:

When I posted my first fanfic (wolfstar), no one read me. We’re talking like four kudos in a fandom where fics go viral. And at some point I thought, maybe I should attempt to write things that people actually want to read? 

I love writing deeply romantic stories, but I love stories like True Romance or The Shape of Water. Two people who are perfect for each other, but one is mute and the other is a fish god from Brazil. One stabs Tony Soprano in the foot with a corkscrew and the other communicates with an hallucination of Elvis. 

Finally, I found the Carry On fandom who enthusiastically embraced my Baz who excelled "at both deep-throating cock and scorching motherfuckers like a vengeance demon in floral Tom Ford." And then finally, finally, almost a year after it posted, people in the wolfstar fandom started reading Blood Sugar Sex Moony. Now, almost every day, I get kudos and (sometimes delightfully unhinged) comments on my wolfstar too. 

I don’t imagine I’ll ever be really, really popular, but I’ve found a group of readers — or they’ve found me — who appreciate the way my brain works, and little old high school me, who always believed that the best love stories are the strangest ones, knows that they are not alone. 

So my PSA to everyone out there who feels like Nora Ephron trapped in David Lynch trapped in Wes Craven — or whatever your unmarketable combo may be — keep on doing you. One day you will find your people 🩷

Also, thank you to everyone who read, kudos-ed, and commented on my fics, and a special shout out to all of the wonderful friends I've made in the Carry On fandom. Y'all have brightened my 2024.

And now, tags!

Echo and the Cadet Batch Chapter 19: The Domino Twins

art by @littletroggo

https://archiveofourown.org/works/58834273/chapters/162533413

Summary:

Back on Kamino, Hunter has some explaining to do, Tech is still working on a way to get home, and all of the Batchers are distracted by their two new "recruits." Echo and Fives think this is great, Wrecker adores all kids but especially these two, and Crosshair is trying desperately not to make friends he knows he can't keep.

SNEAK PEEK: ⬇️

Hunter stood just inside the door and cleared his throat uncomfortably, his gaze darting to each of his three siblings. For once, the sergeant’s golden eyes were unsettled, uncertain of how his batchmates would react. He was almost squirming under their slack-jawed scrutiny.

Crosshair would have laughed at the unusual sight, if he hadn’t been so surprised that his vocal chords refused to operate and his brain seemed to have briefly fritzed itself out of commission. If everything hadn’t just gotten turned directly on its head in an instant.

If Hunter didn’t have two cadets with him, including one who had just answered to the name Echo .

The sniper’s nerves finally ceded control back to his brain and he snapped his jaw shut, still staring at the two cadets. They looked just like any other clone cadets in their fourth year, like the 99s would have looked if they hadn’t been made different , but the one who had been called Echo… 

Crosshair had been trained from decanting to notice and break down every detail of the world around him. His enhanced eyesight gave him an unmatched advantage, but merely seeing wasn’t enough. He had to understand it, to separate every miniscule particle of what his vision relayed to his brain and evaluate each separately, systematically, before putting them all back together and analyzing the whole. After years of honing his skills, that entire process was now embedded in his every waking moment, threaded beneath his skin and intertwined with his DNA. He was able to break down, assess, and make split second decisions based on what he saw before most people could even realize what they were supposed to be looking at .

And that little cadet – he was too familiar, even though Crosshair had never seen him before. His eyes shone with an all-too recognizable gleam, and there was something about the way that he stood, with his hand holding Hunter’s as if he were afraid to let go but his face boldly turned toward the three strangers, that Crosshair was shockingly accustomed to. There were other things, too, that confirmed it – small things, but sometimes the small things mattered more than the bigger ones – but Crosshair didn’t need to itemize them. It was already cemented beyond a shadow of a doubt in the sniper’s mind.

Sometimes he went over things in his mind for a moment, rethought them before letting his conclusions solidify as accepted fact. But in the time between Hunter pressing the operating panel and the door hissing shut, Crosshair realized that he didn’t even have to think about this one. He knew that the cadet was Echo.

And something in his heart, something coiled up and cold and feeling suspiciously like fear, instantly released.

They hadn’t found their Echo…which meant he was safe aboard the Negotiator . Echo was okay . 

Of course, he still had to deal with the fact that a younger version of his brother was staring him in the face, but he could handle that in a minute. For the moment, he chose to be grateful, and wait.

#other artists (or #reblog) - This is the tag I use when I reblog other amazing artists' work!

General Info:

I've technically been in the TF2 community for more than 6 years but I just recently got back into it as of 2024!

Pr0shipper/“problematic” accounts DNI!!! I will block you >:(((

@/hoshi-tsubasa is my twin! Her art is just as incredible so go check her out too if you'd like! She also draws TF2 stuff here and there, plus she has some TF2 merch you can check out on her redbubble!

My main ship is Gentlesurgery, which I draw quite a lot! If that ship is not your cup of tea I kindly suggest to be polite and just move on, harassment and hate will not be tolerated here. I also have other favorite TF2 ships that I don't have listed above in the "Meet The Artist" template that I may draw from time to time! However, please be mindful that I don't really draw HeavyMedic (Red Oktoberfest), MedicScout (Quickfix/Blunt Trauma), or SniperScout (SpeedingBullet) ships, as those are not ships I'm particularly fond of compared to others (MedicScout cuz as a passionate MedicSpy shipper it just feels uncomfy for me) ;3; very sorry! (ALSO ABSOLUTELY NO SPYSCOUT GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT DISGUSTING STUFF) I do like most TF2 ships tho (I especially love all Spy ships)! 💖

Please be aware I likely will not draw nsfw! There may be suggestive art tho from time to time :3c Some things will be tagged with tw if needed!

Also please do not tag my art with ship tags unless I have them put under my art! I am not comfortable with certain dynamics being labeled as ships, especially if the dynamic is not meant to be in any form romantic/sexual ;;

My hyperfixations do shift so I may hop from one media to another or draw crossovers! I will usually post my other non-TF2 art on my instagram, but all TF2 content will be here!

In addition, please be aware I have ADHD and an alter system (DID), so please note that I may go silent with posts every once in a while. My mental health is not a subject I care to make front and center here, so I prefer any questions or topics of such be kept private! Thank you! 💖

If you can I encourage you to reblog my artwork if you like it! Traction on tumblr is very different than on other social sites like twitter and tiktok, so it would mean a lot to me if you could share my art! 🥺💌 I'm deeply humbled if you enjoy my content, thank you!

Ask Box Rules:

This is a 16+ ask blog, so if you wanna ask me or my version of the mercs something pls feel free! Anon questions will be turned on and off from time to time, but if people completely abuse it or things get out of hand I will shut them off permanently ;3; Also please respect that there's a limit for how much you can ask of me, I won't consistently draw the same thing over and over if it's asked for like more than 3 times (especially by the same person)!

Also, if I do not respond to your ask, it may be because I am either uncomfortable with the ask, am unsure how to respond, or simply do not feel that it is an ask that needs to be posted. I am also NOT an rp blog so I will not respond to rp-like asks. Please respect this, thank you!

Please be respectful! I have major anxiety and communication/socializing is difficult for me, so I may not engage in conversations much ;0; I do get super nervous with parasocial behavior!!! I will do my best to respond to my inbox so please be patient with me 💌

Fanart/Art Rules:

Art Trades are for mutuals only! I rarely do them but think they're fun! Also will only do an art trade if the level of art quality and skill is the similar to my own, thank you! 💖

This isn't entirely an art request blog but depending on the question in the ask box I might doodle something if I'm interested enough! 🍰✨ I don't really draw ship requests often tho! ;3; Might do some that I like but depends!

I don't mind fanart! If you'd like to make fanart for me please tag me so I can see your lovely work! However pls don't draw my ocs or version (aus included) of the mercs inappropriately or in ships I otherwise am not comfortable with, as they already have pre-established relationships ;; Also please do not misinterpret/take creative liberties with my Medicsona (Shortcake Medic) specifically, as he is my personal sona and I am more sensitive about art of him! He is not an oc, he is a sona, so I am uncomfortable with misinterpretations and/or nsfw art of him. If you are unsure about anything please ask me first, I am very firm and particular about him! Thank you!!! 💖🍰

If you want to use my art as a profile pic please ask me first!!! DO NOT REPOST OR EDIT MY ARTWORK!!!!

Beneath the hot rays of the island sun is an uneventful day…

Until a new coffee shop owned by a new barista makes waves with everyone in the village, including Dr. Eggman himself.

The Doctor takes a shine to the new barista, but how is the world’s greatest genius to act upon this new found interest? Well, Eggman has a few ideas.
