Satoru's Psyche|Teaser

"Now…would you say that human nature led me to this? Or am I a product of the cards I've been dealt?"

🗂️Patient File: Patient Gojo has been admitted to a specialized psychiatric hospital following a compulsive massacre and assault on the city of Shibuya|Causes/triggers that led to the patient’s mental decline and subsequent carnage in Shibuya are currently speculative; however, they are suspected to be linked to a prolonged period of confinement within a cube-like structure. Information regarding the mechanics of this structure and the patient’s history remain undisclosed to the ward and the public.  🩺Job Description: You are the only nurse in Tokyo—specifically assigned by an unknown secret society related to the patient—who is able to manage and care for patient Gojo. His violent and erratic behavior has left multitudes of staff members in shambles and disarray as he quickly disposed of them one after another. But for reasons unknown—a complete mystery to yourself as well—you have somehow managed to cross Gojo's barriers and earn his approval to be his one and only caretaker. Your duties include: daily routine patient care, observation and monitoring, therapy, adherence to protocol, and thorough documentation to be directly reported to the Director at the end of every shift. Be wary: Patient Gojo exhibits characteristics consistent with an extensive history of manipulation, obsessive behavior, and charismatic engagement. The patient's ability to charm and manipulate requires that staff be particularly cautious about their own psychological well-being. Exercise heightened emotional regulation and remain professional at all times to ensure that personal feelings do not affect judgment or quality of patient care. 📋Length of Admission (w.c): 10 unpredictable intervals 💊Intake Chart (tags): Patient is prone to: sporadic fits of violence; manipulation; flirtatious conduct, verbiage, and assault; over-obsessive tendencies; fluctuating attachment styles, narcissistic dialogue, and an insatiable compulsive urge to [REDACTED]. 🏥Orientation: August 14, 2024 [OUT NOW]

[fashion-runways]

hiii new pinned post again because the last one was outdated, there are links to the previous ones in that one as well. unfortunately there are no real updates re: my dad's wrongful imprisonment. at this point, they might be waiting until the statutes of limitations happen and it's over, i don't know. he has a therapist who's kind of expensive but we have to pay for and he has to go weekly because of all the trauma he has left from being in jail and from losing his job/not being able to find a new one because of this. his health got worse in there, too, so there are a lot of different doctors he has to go to, medications, etc. he's doing better every day, though, but that takes a lot of money of course.

i used to have a redbubble account that helped me get afloat alongside this blog, but it got suspended without notice and never got reinstated no matter how many things i've tried, so... that's another source of income that we lost. i used to make around 30/40 dollars a month there, now i make like 1/2 dollars on teepublic monthly, that's a huge difference. argentina's economy was always bad but it has been an absolute disaster since the current president got elected. prices rise literally on a weekly basis for everything from basic groceries to public transportation, power, water, phone bills, etc. my laptop's keyboard broke at some point and i almost had to buy a new one with money i literally didn't have, just going into negative numbers, but i managed to find a guy who replaced it for as cheap as he could. it was still expensive, but it was better than having to buy a new laptop entirely. would love to get a stable job, but that's always been impossible in this country, even more so lately. for updates on argentina in english, this person on twitter makes very good informative threads if you're interested.

on top of that my dog passed from cancer a few weeks ago, that was really expensive for us too, meds and appointments and special foods and everything that we could do to keep her happy until it was her time to go, and she was. i also started therapy around the time she was diagnosed (thank god) but my therapist had to rise her rates because of the economy mess i already mentioned, so... yeah. everything is exhausting and everything is expensive, and this is literally my only source of income. it's also the thing that i love doing the most and the thing that keeps me sane in all of this mess, so hey, never leaving. in fact, if anything ever happens to this website, you can always find me under fashion_runways on twitter or probably anywhere else. some of you guys mentioned not seeing my posts lately too, so if you can/want to, you can turn notifications on!

anyway yeah, all that to say i love this blog, i love fashion, and i love showing you guys new cool things and giving you guys ideas for art, or writing, or your own style, or just interesting stuff to look at. so if you can donate any money, that would help me more than you think. even a single dollar can change what i can do with my day sometimes, i swear. as usual, my kofi link: https://ko-fi.com/fashionrunways and my teepublic link: https://www.teepublic.com/user/dinah-lance. thanks for being around and sharing and reblogging my posts, thanks for asking questions about fashion, and of course thanks for helping to the ones who can, and thanks to the ones who can't too, i know how that feels like, don't worry about it. i love you 💖

No Need to Worry Over Sunshine

(This is connected to this short little post. This is also inspired @anastasiariley10123’s comment and @froginmygarden’s reblog of that post :D)

Marvel had been missing for a week. A whole week. He always comes to the Watchtower at least once a day! Yet hadn’t come all week! Anyone who messaged him on the communicators weren’t even getting any ‘:D’s too! They’re just getting ‘:)’s! Something was totally wrong. So imagine their surprise and slight horror when Flash went spilled some critical information when Clark and Hal came to relieve them from monitor duty.

After the monitor duty with Marvel…

Marvel: *dipped out so fast to not have to deal with the stares*

GL: *didn’t see the gray* “What’s with him?”

Supes: *peaks out of the monitor room to see Marvel turning a corner out of sight* “Is Cap alright?”

Flash: *sitting, wondering if Marvel is dying or something*

GL: “Wally…? Buddy? You good?”

Flash: “IthinkMarvelisdying.” *says super fast*

GL: “What?”

Supes: “What?!” *actually understood him*

Flash: “I think Marvel is dying.”

GL and Supes: *share a look*

Supes: “Wha- Why? Why do you think that?”

Flash: “Well, he’s going gray.”

GL: “Again, what?”

Flash: “And when I asked him about it, he nearly had a mental breakdown.”

Supes and GL: *share another look*

Supes: “Uhm… Did you ask him why he’s gray?

Flash: “Well, no, but-”

GL: *watching the monitors* “Aw shoot. Aliens in Metropolis.”

Supes, Flash, GL: *groans of annoyance*

Supes: “We’ll talk about this later.”

A little bit later…

JL: *just finished fighting the aliens*

Aquaman: “Geez, I can’t believe this is a weekly occurrence.” *looks at Marvel for a second before doing a double take* “What the hell happened to your hair?”

Marvel: “Huh? Uh…” *forgot to do a charm spell to cover the grey*

WW: “Brother, are you alright? You certainly shouldn’t be graying at your age.”

Other JL: *crowding Marvel in concern*

Marvel: “I mean, I am getting old Diana.”

WW: “Old? Brother you said you were nine.”

Flash: “Nine?”

WW: “Nine as in nine thousand years old.”

Marvel: “Uhm… Well, no. It’s more like nine…”

Solomon: “Go bigger, Billy.”

Marvel: “…hundred thousand.”

JL besides Marvel: *looks of utter shock (😟)*

Marvel: “So… yeah.” *awkward smile*

Flash: *sounds and looks horrified* “SO I WAS RIGHT! YOU ARE SO GONNA DIE!”

Marvel: “WHAT. No! I’m not gonna die! I have at least another hundred thousand years!”

They were all extremely relieved when they found that out. He’d outlive them all, which now that they thought about, was actually terrible for Marvel. But hey! At least he has a little lot of time left.

A little bit later…

Batman: “Were you a caveman?”

Marvel: “Hmm? Yeah.”

Also, someone recorded this entire interaction with a drone after the attack. People are calling him a silver fox now. He actually considered killing himself. (He said that outloud and the JL looked at him like 😨. Marvel: just kidding guys :D)

[re-lmayer]

i can't afford rent because of my abusive ex and desperately need help. if i don't pay, it will cause a domino effect where i'll be homeless, lose my emotional support animals, and eventually i can be sued and my paypal account seized. i'll also fail this college semester, which will mess up all my student grant funding and getting a degree

i'm disabled and was recently hospitalized for a nervous breakdown, and stress is making me sick. i've been diagnosed with an ulcer

there's a lot of ways to help me and my cats. you can commission me on kofi, donate directly via paypal, check out my crowdfunds on youpay, share my twitter and bluesky threads, and of course reblog this post. sharing is free!

more context under the cut. it will be updated as things change

my ex boyfriend is an abusive alcoholic. he's raped me, tried to medically neglect me, stranded me at our new apartment alone with no food and a clogged toilet, and most recently refuses to pay any rent and is content to allow me to become homeless despite legal obligation

i have been granted a hud/section 8 housing voucher, but to use it a unit must pass inspection

the apartment i applied for didn't pass, and needed repairs. the landlord told me he'd accept the first applicant that could pay first month rent and a huge deposit. the housing authority told me i'd lose my voucher if i didn't proceed with this exact unit

originally, i was supposed to be on my own. but i was shoved between a rock and a hard place with the voucher and deposit. i couldn't afford the deposit despite friends crowdfunding for me, so... i asked my boyfriend for help

he needed a place to go himself, because he broke his lease bringing me and my cats in. (i was unaware of this, and had no suspicion he'd do something that would compromise his 2 bed/bath apartment)

my doctor also prescribed caregiver after my hospitalization so it seemed mutually beneficial from a financial standpoint, even if i wasn't enthused about it

we couldn't afford movers, so over the course of march we'd been moving things by the carload ourselves. the queen bed was too big, so the night before last he informed me he was dumping it while he had help from a friend to move it. i had a bedframe and mattress from the last place i'd lived, but it had already been taken to the new place. i thought we'd agreed i'd basically move in to the new place early so i'd have somewhere to sleep

come saturday night, i messaged him that the toilet was clogged. he refused to bring a snake, and told me i was using him because i don't hug and kiss him enough. (i'm a csem victim, asexual, and autistic and don't like physical affection)

he's decided he doesn't want to proceed with the unit, and it hasn't passed the inspection, so my voucher doesn't cover it yet. i can't afford the rent out of pocket, and i'm broke because i'm disabled. we agreed he'd pay rent until the voucher kicked in, then he would be added to it as my caregiver, because he'd take me to medical appointments, ensure i get my medication on time, ensure i'd and bathe, etc.

but that ship has sailed. now i'm left in a lurch, and desperately need help. a large portion of the security and pet deposits were nonrefundable, so all the previous effort would go to waste if i can't stay

because i was recently hospitalized, i don't know how i'll survive homelessness. my cats are prescribed emotional support animals, and losing them would be devastating

these are text messages from when he refused to bring the snake and dumped me:

after this, he proceeded to continuously ignore me when i'd bring up rent, that he's on the lease, and going to the bank to pay the landlord

he never responded to the above and then proceeded to act like nothing happened

he didn't respond to any of these except agreement to let me get my cats with the help of someone from my weekly ywca meetings

he is now proceeding to STILL not respond or accept responsibility despite me explaining to him in great detail what the repercussions will be if he doesn't help pay rent. he continues to say "you"

as of august 29, i don't have enough to pay the rent on my own, but i am keeping all of these text messages to present in eviction court if it comes to that. i also intend to take my ex to small claims court

the landlord's maintenance guy also """plunged the toilet""" after leaving me without a working one for five days, and after i was informed there was a problem with the entire complex's pipes. i was not here, so i can't vet if it was true. they """plunged""" without permission, and then sent me an invoice after the fact. i also can't afford this fee, and find it predatory in nature. the maintenance company is owned by the landlord

i have reached out to legal aid to ask about the legality of the landlord handling the situation like this. i will reach out to them again if i get an eviction notice

*A FEW NOTES:

All graphs are completely customizable using layer masks. For all the bar graphs, I find them easiest to edit using the rectangular marquee tool to select the proper area and then using your brush tool. For the pie charts, I had the best luck using the polygonal lasso tool to select the slice I wanted to mask. All the information used was taken directly from my Letterboxd stats page. I believe there are a few sections only available to patrons of the site, such as the Ratings Comparison. The only parts I left out were the lists integrated into the stats page and the Crew & Studios section. The fonts included in the folder are the exact ones used by Letterboxd, so you could always use them to create your own templates for those if you want to. I have no issue with anyone using these templates to help create their own, but please give proper credit. Making these took literal hours.

[autismaccount]

I've reached 35 responses! They're very interesting, but the sample size is still small, and I don't think it's at all representative of the Tumblr autism community. If I can't reach at least 100 responses, I don't think I'll be able to analyze Tumblr community views on support needs in depth. I'll still post descriptive statistics for the overall sample, but I won't have the statistical power to do anything else.

I'd really appreciate if everyone could help by taking the survey and reblogging this post to their followers!

As a reminder, the survey is meant to understand how people use support needs labels. For example, what makes someone low support needs and not moderate support needs? The survey also helps show what the community is like in general in terms of demographics and experiences!

A summary of the current survey results are under the Read More. Again, especially if a community that you're in is under-represented, please help by spreading the survey link! I'd especially love to hear from more people AMAB, racial/ethnic minorities, people who are not yet diagnosed or were diagnosed as adults, and higher support needs individuals!

Age: Most participants are young; 60% are under age 25%, and 20% are under 18.

Gender: Over half of the sample is AFAB nonbinary, almost 1/3 is trans men, and almost all of the remainder (14%) is cis women. Only 2 people who are AMAB have taken the survey.

Race/Ethnicity: Non-Hispanic White people are very over-represented, making up 82% of the sample.

Diagnosis: 57% are professionally diagnosed, 20% are informally or soft-diagnosed, and 14% are seeking a diagnosis. Only 9% are neither diagnosed nor seeking a diagnosis.

The most common diagnoses are ASD with no level (33%), level 1 ASD (25%), and "mild autism" (13%).

16% were diagnosed before age 8, 24% between ages 9 and 15, 32% between ages 16 and 18, 12% between ages 19 and 25, and 16% over age 25.

Autism Support Needs: The most common self-identified support needs label is "low-moderate" (43%), followed by low (23%) and moderate (14%). Most would benefit from but do not need weekly support (31%), only need accommodations and mental health support (17%), or rarely need any support (6%).

Autism Symptoms: On a severity scale of 0 (not applicable) to 3 (severe), the average is 1.7 overall, 1.8 socially, and 1.7 for restricted-repetitive behaviors. The most severe symptom is sensory issues (2.1), and the least severe are nonverbal communication and stimming (both 1.5).

83% are fully verbal, and 97% have no intellectual disability.

38% can mask well enough to seem "off" but not necessarily autistic. 21% can't mask well or for long.

Most experience shutdowns (94%), difficulties with interoception (80%), meltdowns (71%), alexithymia (71%), echolalia (69%), and autistic mutism (66%). Very few experience psychosis (14%) or catatonia (11%).

Self-Diagnosis: 20% think it's always fine to self-diagnose autism, 29% think it's almost always fine, 31% think it's only okay if an assessment is inaccessible, 71% think it needs to be done carefully, and 11% think it's okay to suspect but not self-diagnose.

The BIGGEST problem that JO currently have is not their use of AI, but their dishonesty and lack of communication skills. Like I said earlier in the reblog of a post speaking about this very subject, I'm not telling anyone to grab pitchforks and torches, but it would be nice to talk about what we're looking at.

They don't disclose the use of AI willingly, as they should, but instead they have to be pressured to do it. And even then - the artist behind the animation has removed his comment informing of the AI use. There's no honesty, and that causes mistrust.

Everyone can decide for themselves if using AI for inspiration for some of the characters and to create backgrounds in the animation is a step too far, or not. Or if them using AI to generate a logo for the biggest concert in the history of the band is a step too far. Or if them using chatgpt to write their own weekly update emails is a step too far. But any of those examples would be much less grating if they were at least honest about it from the start.

Maybe it's a hot take for some - but YES, I care more about artists disclosing the information about them using generative AI, including their promotional material, than about them using AI at all. We're all slaves to capitalism and there is no ethical consumption under capitalism and I don't expect purity from ANYONE, celebrity or not. But a speck of honesty would be fucking nice. I don't want to keep catching them like children with their hands in a cookie jar.

Masterlist

Reblogs & comments are immensely appreciated.

'As always, my beautiful listeners and viewers,' Sigtryggr breathed in the microphone, his voice low and calm, barely above a whisper, 'we thank you deeply from the bottom of our hearts for having joined us for yet another episode of An Hour of Spice.'

'We wish you a pleasant evening,' Sihtric added, his voice equally as warm and tender as his co-host's, 'and we hope you'll cum again with us next weekend when we talk more about everything sexual, sensual and pleasurable,' he chuckled softly and winked to the camera, knowing he had just made thousands of viewers squirm in their seats all over the world, as per usual. 

He'd never tire of using that line to end their podcast, and Sigtryggr never stopped him either as he knew the listeners and viewers loved hearing those words before each episode ended. 

An Hour of Spice with Sihtric & Sigtryggr was a successful podcast in which the two men discussed all things erotic. Each episode they'd talk about steamy stories that listeners had sent in and discuss the latest spicy book and movie releases. But there was also more than enough time to discuss their own sexual adventures and fantasies, and it was also a safe place for listeners to ask questions live on air and seek advice when needed. The men touched upon all topics without shying away from anything, breaking taboos by explaining kinks and fetishes in a respectful manner to inform those who simply were curious, as well as discussing ways of how to perform various sexual acts in safe ways.

They had started the podcast years ago, after becoming aware of an alarmingly fast growing rate of false information about kinks and safe sex, that was being spread by inexperienced individuals online. Many erotic books and movies praised by influencers on social media explored dark fantasies in problematic ways. And both men felt the need to spread the word about how to safely go about exploring some of those fantasies with the correct knowledge and expectations beforehand, thus teaching people about the reality of intimacy and specific sexual desires that were not usually discussed openly.

Their goal back then was to inform at least one person, and never did they think the podcast would quickly gain popularity and become a weekly thing with millions of listeners globally. The first few months they recorded at Sihtric's home, and Sigtryggr was the one to edit the episodes and release it on streaming platforms. They quickly earned a few dozen faithful listeners who would eagerly await a new episode, and the men soon started to stream their episodes live upon listener's requests. 

Sihtric and Sigtryggr had captured listeners with their seductive voices and honesty, as well as with their charm that radiated through the speakers and headphones of those who would tune in. Their sense of humor and encouragement to openly talk about erotica and its many forms was another way for the listeners to become smitten by them, and that was also why about a year after their first episode the podcast just exploded when famous erotic novel writers began to promote and praise them on their socials.

Up until that moment no one exactly knew the faces behind the voices that plenty of people had fallen in love with already. When their success didn't seem to be short-lived, they decided to build a studio with the money they had earned, to give their audience the best quality possible, and that also gave them the opportunity to add a video stream to their live recordings. And by revealing their faces they gained even more loyal fans, as it turned out that both men were just as breathtaking as their voices were, and they had stolen uncountable hearts across the world of those who just couldn't get enough of them.

Their studio set up was romantic and cosy, a delight to watch as a viewer at home, as the lights were always dimmed with several candles lit all around the room. It was hard to not swoon over the stunning men with their rugged looks as the flickering flames casted a warm and alluring glow across their handsome and scarred faces.

And you? Oh, you had been a faithful listener since day one, after having stumbled upon the podcast while searching for a decent spicy audio audiobook. You loved the fact that their podcast had gotten worldwide success and you had seen it all happen over time. You enjoyed every episode and always wanted to call in to the studio, but you just didn't have anything interesting to tell or ask them, you thought. So instead of participating in an episode, other than leaving an occasional comment in the live chat, you mainly just watched and listened.

Your favourite part of each episode was when the men would recite a page from an erotic novel. It would always just be a random passage they'd surprise you with, and it always got you in a mood. You were head over heels in love with both of them, if you were honest. You simply dreamed of meeting them one day, and you often fantasised about them at night…

Another Friday evening arrived and, after a long day at work, you finally sat back in your lounge chair with a hot beverage and waited for the day's podcast episode to start. You always watched the podcast on your TV, so you could use your phone to keep up with the live chat. The chat was always filled with messages about how good the guys looked and every week you'd see multiple marriage proposals, to which you could only chuckle. You understood the other listeners, you too wouldn't mind spending a lifetime with either of them, or both, but you were not going to put that out there for them to see. However, that one time you did leave a half flirty comment, when Sihtric got a new haircut last year that had shocked many people at first, you complimented him on his bold look and that had earned you a live response from the man in question.

you commented: I love the hair, Sihtric! The half shaved look suits you x

'See!' Sihtric had chuckled after reading your comment and username out loud, 'thank you, darling, I appreciate it a lot,' he had said and blew you a kiss.

It had rocked your world, and whenever you had a bad day you would always go and rewatch that episode to feel good again. But that had been a while ago, Sihtric's hair had grown out again and it was now touching his shoulders, as it was loose in the back and braided on top and on the sides. He looked stunning, but so did Sigtryggr, with his sides clean shaved and the top braided as well. And that's how both men looked when they appeared on your TV as the new episode began. Your heart fluttered at the sight of them, it was almost embarrassing how you blushed when you saw them and how you needed a moment to compose yourself again. You had no idea what made you so nervous, perhaps it was just their charming and mischievous energy on screen. But whatever it was, both men had you in a chokehold, and you loved it.

'Good evening,' Sigtryggr half whispered as the episode started.

'Or good morning,' Sihtric added with a grin, 'or perhaps… good afternoon, depending where in the world you are listening or watching from right now.'

'Regardless,' Sigtryggr continued, 'we hope you are feeling good today. And if not…'

'Then allow us to help you feel good,' Sihtric husked, 'because you know…'

'We like to please,' Sigtryggr smiled.

'So just sit back,' Sihtric half murmured, 'and close your eyes as we take care of you.'

'Unless you like to watch,' Sigtryggr suggested with a cheeky smile as he faced the camera, 'then make sure to keep your eyes on us.'

'However you like it,' Sihtric breathed, 'we'll do it for you. Now, let me start today's episode by reading a short passage of another book we can highly recommend.'

You took a deep breath and watched with flushed cheeks as Sihtric opened a book and began to read a page.

'She felt his warm and gentle fingers slowly caress up her bare legs,' Sihtric read out loud with an alluring voice, 'up all the way to her thighs, so painstakingly slow that it was an unbearable ache. For how she longed to feel his hands grab her and tease her, to feel his fingers slide inside her delicate spot and please her endlessly. To feel his fingers curl inside her as he massaged her pearl with his thumb,' Sihtric paused and exhaled slowly, 'it was a sin to lust after a man like she did...'

You had completely melted away in your chair and gained a heartbeat down your own delicate spot, while you had completely lost focus on the screen and were just staring at a blurred image of your favourite two guys. You knew you weren't the only one who was in another world right now, and you were only brought back to reality when Sihtric closed the book and cleared his throat.

'Now that we got past that part, we have some news to share. As Yule is approaching,' Sihtric smiled and leaned in a little closer to the microphone, then lowered his voice again, 'that's right people, our long time listeners already know this, but me and Sig here are heathens,' he chuckled, 'we don't celebrate Christmas but we have our own ways to be festive. And therefore we are going to give one listener a once in a lifetime opportunity. One lucky person will be invited here, to the studio, to co-host next week's episode with me.'

'Which is because, unfortunately,' Sigtryggr added, 'I have a brother to visit next weekend, so I can't be present.'

'You didn't have to ruin the moment,' Sihtric joked, 'now our supporters won't feel special anymore.'

'You know I would never lie to our faithful crowd,' Sigtryggr laughed softly.

'Yeah, but… now it just seems we are giving someone the chance to be here just because I need a co-host,' Sihtric shrugged lightheartedly and with his adorable smile.

'You don't need a co-host, you are perfectly capable of entertaining all by yourself, handsome,' Sigtryggr taunted.

'Thank you, gorgeous,' Sihtric jested back, 'however,' he said, focusing again on the topic, 'we are not just giving one of you this chance because I like to have a co-host. No, we had this planned already before my beautiful Siggy here got the news that he had to return home for a few days, and so leaving me all… alone… during the holidays.'

You reached for your aching chest and melted in your chair again upon watching Sihtric pout, as if he was being abandoned for life by his best friend. You loved how dramatic Sihtric could be, which was always done in good fun, while Sigtryggr was the calm and collected one of the duo. It was sad to hear this would be the first time since the podcast started that one of the hosts wouldn't be presenting, but the opportunity to be there was something that definitely sparked your interest.

'And because,' Sihtric continued and sighed deeply, 'I will be a very… very lonely boy this holiday, the lucky winner will not only be joining me for the episode, but you will also win a one night stay in a luxurious hotel downtown, so we can maybe grab a drink after recording.'

'All expenses are on us,' Sigtryggr added, 'because you know we like to spoil you,' he smiled sweetly as he looked into the camera.

'Your travel and stay will indeed be taken care of,' Sihtric nodded, 'and all you have to do to win is leave us a comment on the instagram post that Sig will be sharing after the episode, and tell us why you think you would be the most perfect co-host to record with me.'

You couldn't believe the opportunity and wouldn't let it go to waste, already knowing what you would write to enter the competition. But before that, you enjoyed the podcast as it continued when both men got into a deep conversation about using Christmas lights as bondage material, after someone had brought it up in the chat.

'I've done that,' Sihtric laughed, 'and I wouldn't recommend it.'

'Really?' Sigtryggr snorted and shook his head, 'did you tie someone up?'

'No,' Sihtric laughed even harder, 'I was the one tied up. Look, the idea is fun and I was game, you know I'm game for a lot of things, but it's just not that safe and it's rather uncomfortable. I'd advise against using it for bondage, it looks fun but the reality is that you are playing with electricity. Also the lights can cause burns on your skin as some get really warm after a while.'

You got lost in their gentle banter and serious words of advice for the rest of the episode, and once the stream had ended you went to instagram to enter the competition. Because as a loyal listener since day one, you knew you'd be the perfect co-host… if you could contain your nerves at least.

When you woke up to a private message by none other than the official podcast instagram page of An Hour of Spice a few days after the latest episode, you needed a moment to gather your thoughts. Your passionate comment had caught the attention of Sihtric and Sigtryggr, and you were the lucky winner who got invited to host an episode and to spend a night in a fancy hotel on the other side of the country. You accepted and claimed your win before your nerves could change your mind, and within a day you received the studio address, a plane ticket and the confirmation for your stay at the hotel.

Your travels were smooth and you were delighted to check into the fanciest hotel you'd ever been in, being booked into a 4 star hotel's penthouse that overlooked all of London. The podcast recording was only hours away when you received another message from their instagram page, and it came from Sihtric, who asked if you were down to come to the studio already to meet and to discuss the episode. You anxiously dressed up in your nicest outfit, a dark but festive cocktail dress with high heels underneath and faux fur coat on top, and you waited for the cab to arrive that had been ordered by Sihtric.

You arrived at the studio and already spotted Sihtric right outside as he scrolled on his phone, clearly waiting for you, and your heart skipped numerous beats. You had seen him on your TV and heard his voice through your headphones for years, but none of that could've prepared you for how utterly stunning and mesmerising he was in real life. Sihtric greeted you with a pleased look in his eyes and a big smile, giving you a firm hug after introducing himself and congratulating you.

'You're a lifesaver, darling,' Sihtric chuckled as he held the studio door open for you, 'I've never presented the podcast on my own, and I was terrified whoever won the competition just wouldn't show up.'

'What kind of a fool would not show up?' you laughed as you admired the studio once you were in it.

It was a surreal feeling to stand in the room that had graced your TV for so long, it felt almost natural and if you were at home.

'Well, I'm still very grateful you will be helping me out today,' Sihtric smiled sweetly, 'let me take your coat, darling,' he insisted, 'you look absolutely gorgeous, by the way. I'm sure Sigtryggr will be very disappointed he's not here.'

'Oh, thank you,' you tried to hide the blush on your face.

Sihtric offered you the seat in which his co-host usually sits, and it felt as if you were dreaming when you got to fully take in the moment. Sihtric looked ravishing, with his half braided hair and those curls, he was dressed in black jeans and a dark grey sweater that hugged his torso perfectly. He was even sexier in real life, seeing his tattoos and that hint of eyeliner up close stirred something in you that could not be stopped. Every time you looked at him or heard his voice you had to discreetly squeeze your thighs together under the table, and stop yourself from seductively biting down on your lower lip in a flirty manner when you felt his eyes on you.

It didn't help that Sihtric smiled slyly at you occasionally when you spoke to him, and the way his eyes often trailed down to your lipstick painted lips made it nearly impossible to think straight, as all you could do was undress him with your eyes. And by the look in Sihtric's mismatched eyes, you could tell he was doing exactly the same to you.

You enjoyed each other's company over a drink in the studio as Sihtric gave you time to adjust to the possibly overwhelming situation. It was also a moment to get to know each other a little more and to get comfortable discussing rather private topics. Sihtric wanted to know what you were comfortable talking about and what not, and when everything was clear for the both of you he showed you the episode's program. There were a few things you had already expected to be in the episode, such as him reading a passage from a book, but other than that you noticed there was not much of a script going on.

'This is not a regular episode,' Sihtric explained, 'so the plan is to let our listeners ask us questions in the chat and we can go from there. We have an hour to fill, but I'm sure that won't be a problem as there's always enough to discuss.'

You liked the idea and agreed to it, to which Sihtric took your hand and reassured you that you'll be doing great. And then, after one more quick check in the mirror, you watched Sihtric press the On Air sign and the live recording started. He had a way of making you feel at ease and as if you were the only person listening to him. Never did you feel any pressure from the millions of other people who had tuned in, it truly felt as if it was just Sihtric and you, and you loved every second of it. You watched him attentively when he answered some questions seriously, your eyes being stuck on either his lips, his hands or on his eyes that looked at you with such lust and mischief whenever he caught you gazing. You had chemistry, and it showed. Tons of fans commented how they loved you as a replacement for Sigtryggr, as it gave them a chance to see Sihtric's true flirty side for once too.

Sihtric had a way of lightly touching your arm with his fingers when he got excited about a question or whenever you made him laugh, and he didn't even try to tear his eyes away from you whenever you answered a question or spoke about your own experiences. He'd hum in response, a sound that made you aroused beyond words, and you had to restrain yourself from moaning into the microphone whenever he did that. He was aware of the effect he had on you, and since he was very pleased with your appearance too, he figured why not see how far he could take it.

He subtly pried into your sexual life, asking about experiences, limits and fantasies, all within the podcast's boundaries and never making you feel shy or exposed or uncomfortable.

'What's the one thing you wish to experience?' Sihtric asked, reading a fan's comment out loud to you.

'Receiving some good head,' you laughed, then went on to explain how your former bed partners had either not been good at it or had just refused to do it.

'That's not a way to treat a lady,' Sihtric chuckled and shook his head, 'listen,' he said and leaned in to the microphone again, then locked eyes with you, 'I'm single, as you all know by now, but I can promise you one thing… my woman would never have to worry about me not wanting to go down on her. I mean, it's the best thing in the world, no?'

Apparently the live chat exploded with desperate pleas to be his girlfriend, but you weren't aware of anything at all anymore. Your mouth went dry while all you could do was stare back into Sihtric's eyes, feeling his hand lightly rest on your knee under the table while he smiled rather seductively at you.

'I would,' Sihtric paused and bit down on his lip as he softly chuckled again, knowing he had everyone in his pocket right now while he kept his eyes on you, 'I would lay you down on a bed, or on a table or on the floor, it doesn't matter,' he continued with his silky sensual voice, 'and I'd strip you off whatever you're wearing right now, slowly though, because this is an act that shouldn't be rushed. And then I'd slowly run my hands up your bare legs, to your thighs, and I'd pull down your panties and kiss your legs as I'm doing so.'

Sihtric paused again, his eyes still locked with yours and he slowly wetted his lips with the tip of his tongue. You were holding your breath, and you knew that every other listener was doing the same thing.

'I'd kiss up to your thighs, and I like to mark what's mine,' Sihtric breathed, 'so I'd mark you all… up… with love bites, covering your inner thighs and even your hips with the sweetest bruises. And then,' he suddenly hummed, punching the air out of every listener's lungs, 'then I'd throw your legs over my shoulders and lock you in my arms, so you won't be able to move, because trust me you will be trying to get away,' he smiled, not once looking away from you, 'but you won't be getting away until I've had enough. And I will kiss your sweet spot, darling,' he hummed again, 'I will. I will kiss you and lick you and I'll fucking tease you until you can't take it anymore. But I wouldn't stop there, no,' Sihtric shook his head lightly, 'I won't stop until you've given me every single drop of that sweet release of yours, and I won't stop until you beg and cry because of how sensitive you are. And I promise you, love, when I'm finally done… you'll be begging me to treat you good like that again and again.'

You were completely numbed and hypnotised by his words, your hands were somewhat sweaty. You swallowed hard while you still felt his hand on your knee, which he teasingly squeezed before he suddenly winked at you with a grin, and he then sat back in his chair. You silently gasped for air, your head spinning while you tried to get back to earth again.

'And with that, my dear listeners,' Sihtric said, his voice back to normal again, 'we'll have to end today's episode. As always, thank you for listening to this special edition, and I want to thank my beautiful co-host for keeping me company today too. I hope you all enjoyed it. We wish you a pleasant evening, and we hope you'll cum again with us next weekend when we talk more about everything sexual, sensual and pleasurable.'

You somehow managed to discuss the episode afterwards for a moment with Sihtric, while he saved the recording and then unplugged all the equipment. 

But not many words were wasted before you found yourself lying back on the studio table, with Sihtric's head between your thighs, pleasing you by doing all those things he said he would. And after that you invited him over to your hotel, to return him a pleasurable favour he would long remember, before you had to catch your flight back home the next day.

Sihtric had reluctantly left the hotel bed the morning of your departure. He had taken a true liking to you and therefore decided to stay in contact after the episode, much to your delight, and the kind text messages quickly turned flirty and more than risky. Sihtric often called you his woman, a title you proudly accepted, and a few weeks after your first time meeting he wanted to meet you again in person.

He offered to pay for your travel and accommodation again and, like last time, you were invited to the studio for another podcast recording. This time you wouldn't actively participate in the episode though, but you would be present in the studio off screen. And naturally you weren't going to refuse that offer, nor the chance to meet the other man of your dreams; Sigtryggr.

You and Sihtric didn't label your relationship yet, but you did agree to be exclusive upon meeting the second time, when he picked you up from the airport and welcomed you with a firm kiss and a strong hug.

'I missed you,' he said as he drove you to the studio, 'did you miss me?'

'Of course I missed you,' you smiled, 'but are you sure Sigtryggr is okay with having me around in the studio?'

'Yeah, ofcourse,' Sihtric reassured you, 'of course. I wouldn't invite you if he wasn't. He saw the episode we did and he loved it. He actually even suggested having you on air too today, but since we got quite a topic to discuss this time I said maybe it's better not to.'

'Oh?' you frowned, 'what's today's topic?'

'Well,' your somewhat boyfriend cleared his throat, 'we didn't really decide to make it a whole topic, but we know there's not stopping that chat after that passage reading we always do. A listener suggested a recently released novel and we agreed to read from it, but it's a rather spicy threesome moment. So, you know,' he chuckled, 'that will set the chat off and we just know we'll have to brace ourselves for the questions and suggestions following that moment.'

'Oh,' you giggled, 'yeah, okay, I understand.'

'You ever had a threesome?' Sihtric suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

'What? Oh, I-,' you stammered, rather flustered, 'eh, no. You?' you asked, and then laughed, 'sorry, you don't need to answer that. I already know you did, you said that once in an episode.'

'I did,' Sihtric chuckled, 'only once though.'

'Would you do it again?'

'Well, that depends,' Sihtric became serious, 'I mean… I'm kind of with you now, no? I'm not against it, but I'd only be okay with it if you would be. I'm completely fine never having a threesome again.'

'I never had one,' you said almost shyly, 'but I'm not against it either, I guess, if there would be a good third person of course.'

'Who would you consider a good third person?'

'Oh, I don't know…'

'Sig?' Sihtric suddenly asked with a grin, 'would Sigtryggr be a good option?'

'Oh, well,' you blushed, 'I guess I wouldn't say no to that.'

'Good,' Sihtric smiled as he pulled up to the studio, 'that's good to know.'

'Would you?'

'What?'

'With Sigtryggr?'

'Of course,' Sihtric laughed, 'who did you think my other threesome was with?'

Sihtric was quick to get out of his car, leaving you stunned as he sprinted over to your side to open the door for you. He took your hand and pulled you closer, only to cup your cheek as he leaned in and he then trapped you lovingly between his body and his car while he kissed you with such lust and passion it made your head spin.

But it was a pleasant kind of dizziness, so you gladly kissed him back and ended up making out on the hood of his car. You were only interrupted when another car pulled up to the private parking space, and the kiss was broken when the driver suddenly honked. Only then you saw it was Sigtryggr and your heart skipped a few beats, just like that first time when you met Sihtric.

'My lady,' Sihtric smiled at you as he walked you over to his co-host, 'this is Sig.'

You almost shyly introduced yourself to Sigtryggr while Sihtric kept his arm around your waist. You were somewhat intimidated by both men all of the sudden, their charm and dashing looks were almost overwhelming to take in. You felt relieved to find out that Sigtryggr was just as kind and warmhearted as Sihtric was, and you also couldn't help notice how both men kept eyeing you up as they discussed the podcast's program once you were in the studio.

You enjoyed the attention of both men, but kept your eyes mainly on Sihtric as you sat back to witness the live recording of your favourite podcast. You felt a blush creep up on your cheeks when both men began to read from the passage they had picked for the episode, and you knew their listeners around the world were loving it as much as you were.

'How would we go about a threesome?' Sihtric chuckled as he read the live chat's question out loud, 'you want to take this one away, Sig?'

'Sure,' Sigtryggr laughed, then leaned in and lowered his voice, 'well… first we'd make sure that you are all comfortable and relaxed with us, right, Siht?'

'That's right,' Sihtric spoke calmly with his warm voice, 'we'll ease you into us, don't you worry, and we'll treat you right for as long as you can handle us.'

Your breath hitched in your throat when Sihtric suddenly looked at you, and he smiled sweetly but with that familiar hint of mischief again.

'Exactly,' Sigtryggr agreed, then also gazed at you as he continued, 'we'd make sure you're all comfy on, let's say… a bed, yes,' he chuckled softly, 'we'll take this to the bed, sweetheart. First we'll have to undress you, which we'd do nice and slow, there's no rushing things because we'll have all night.'

'And then,' Sihtric added, his eyes locked with yours, 'I'd pin you down on the bed, gently of course, and I'd roam my hands all over your body while I'd kiss your neck. And then I'd pull you up to me as I sit back, and I'd kiss your lips so featherly light it wouldn't satisfy your hunger. You know,' he licked his lips, 'just to tease you, darling.'

'And while you're getting all needy for us, sugar,' Sigtryggr took over, earning eye contact with you, 'I'd sneak behind you, running my hands up your back and helping you out of your shirt. And then I'd kiss your neck too while Sihtric is still planting his lips on the other side of your neck.'

'And then I'd let you take off my shirt,' Sihtric murmured, 'and I'd move my hand up into your hair, so I can guide your lips as you kiss my body. And Sig?' he chuckled, 'he likes to watch while we'd make out.'

'The messier, the better,' Sigtryggr hummed in agreement.

And, as they continued their story, they described that while you'd be making out with Sihtric, Sigtryggr would undress himself and eventually grab Sihtric's hair, pulling him away from you to steal him for a steamy kiss of his own. Sihtric would grab your hands and make you cup his arousal, grinding against the palm of your hands while he'd kiss the other man before he'd go back to kissing you again, but kissing you firm this time and not teasingly anymore like before. 

Sigtryggr would grab your hips from behind and pull your buttocks against his groin, slowly grinding up against you while you'd grab onto Sihtric's broad shoulders. And Sihtric would grab your waist, pushing his body against yours and trapping you between both their muscular torsos, kissing you deeply while Sigtryggr marked your neck with his lips and teeth. You'd feel their warm hands all over your body, and Sihtric would unbutton your jeans and pick you up in his arms so he could throw you back on the bed, after which he'd pull off your jeans. And before you could blink, Sigtryggr would've taken off your panties already. They'd both pull you up to the side of the bed, where Sihtric would kneel down for you on the floor so he could please you, like the way he had done that first time you met, and you'd gladly please Sigtryggr in the meantime with your mouth as he towered over you until you both came. And you wouldn't leave Sihtric unpleased, never, so while Sigtryggr recovered he'd watch you suck off your boyfriend painstakingly slowly, so his climax would be even more intense than your own had been when he had his head between your thighs moments earlier.

But both men also knew what you'd enjoy, and they wouldn't hesitate to get into a steamy make out session with some heavy touching just for your viewing pleasure. And only when you'd become desperately needy for them they'd include you, both kissing and marking your body in their own ways. And while you'd be making out with Sihtric again, his hair dishevelled and his warm body glistening with sweat, Sigtryggr would tease and somewhat prepare you with his fingers, sliding deeply in and out of you in a gentle and pleasing manner, causing you to moan into Sihtric's mouth with every ragged breath you'd take.

And only then, when you'd be entirely relaxed, both men would take you in your own desired way and please you until the sheets would be soaked and the bed half broken.

'And with that, my dear listeners,' Sigtryggr said calmly, snapping you out of that fantasy both men had just created, 'we've reached the climax of yet another episode.'

'We hope it pleased you the same way it pleased us,' Sihtric smiled, 'now, we wish you a pleasant evening, and we hope you'll cum again with us next weekend when we talk more about everything sexual, sensual and pleasurable.'

And then, after the "on air" sign went off and Sihtric and Sigtryggr had unplugged their equipment, you knew that it was only a matter of time before that fantasy would become a reality…

Oh this interesting

Q. Do you have any idea why Deadline would have deleted only that line but not address the removal in any way?

A. I have a ton of asks about the Deadline writeup so I am going to answer as much as I can here to hopefully cover as many of the asks as I can. For context, and much to the disappointment of a certain group of people, Deadline is not equal to TVGuide, TVLine or Entertainment Weekly. They don't write opinion pieces. They don't have writers on staff who are assigned to watch a show and cover that show. That's not what they do. They are basically the AP News of Entertainment news, if that makes sense. They don't have a particular slant or side they gear their coverage towards. In other words they don't have Buddies or other fandom people on staff. Sorry to the 'mob' (for what it's worth though less than 200 people is not a mob) who wrote angry, threatening emails demanding its correction. Not a soul at Deadline read a single word of those emails, just like no one at ABC is reading those emails, but I digress. They report entertainment news. That's it. Trade news that is relevant information.

Also for what it's worth the information they were given would not have come from the show or even Tim, it would have come directly from an approved media release directly from ABC. The media relations department would have sent them a release directly and the release would contain the information they were okay with being reported regarding the show's renewal. Most of the time those memos would say something along the lines of 'approved for immediate release' meaning the journalist was free to write about everything the release covered. Occasionally those same releases will have a second section that will say something along the lines of 'hold for release until (fill in the blank date)'. That indicates the information in that section of the memo is not approved for release at that time but needs to be held for a write-up planned for a later date. So in this case either the memo ABC sent Deadline was missing the 'hold for release' direction, or the journalist missed the request (which is not likely because this is Deadline and that's not something they're likely to overlook). Or quite simply the article dropped sooner than it was supposed to. We will most likely never know which of these is the real reason, I'm personally leaning towards the article dropped earlier than it was supposed to, but it doesn't really matter. The other question I'm getting a lot is why the line would have been removed without Deadline or the journalist adding a 'correction' or 'this article has been amended to correct an error'. Deadline is not going to do that if what they wrote was factually correct but released earlier than it was supposed to be. Releasing the information earlier than it was supposed to be is not the same thing as calling the information incorrect or misleading. The journalist is not required to say he misspoke if he didn't actually misspeak. There is no factual error within the article. The information was just released earlier than ABC wanted. That's why there's no note or correction amendment to the article. It's that simple. No conspiracy theories. No caving to lunatics. ABC just wasn't ready for that particular angle to be confirmed yet. Hope that helps!

Thank you Nonny!

[twwpride]

TWW Pride is intended to encourage creation of queer fanworks and help to form community and support for queer creators in The West Wing fandom.

This year, TWW Pride is extending the event through all of pride month! Prompts begin on Sunday, June 1st, and continue through Monday, June 30th. Any fanwork posted within these dates and tagged with #twwpride25 or included in our Ao3 Collection will be included as part of the event. At the end of every day and week, we’ll be posting round-ups of everything created, in addition to an end-of-month masterpost. Feel free to join our Discord to talk with other creatives in the community. Anyone who participates in all thirty days of Pride Month will be added to our Hall of Fame!

A massive thank you to @bartletslesbians for help with prompt generation!

Event Info & Guidelines

For Pride Month, one prompt will be provided per day. These prompts are primarily intended to generate inspiration, so if your creative process takes you elsewhere, you are still welcome to share regardless of the day.

If you do choose to follow the prompts, they will be filed under whatever day(s) their prompts fall under for easy reference. If you post on Tumblr, don’t forget to tag your work with #twwpride25 or mention us directly @twwpride — any tagged posts will be reblogged unless otherwise requested.

The prompt list will be reposted weekly as we count down to the beginning of the event. During Pride Week, prompt reminders will be posted at the beginning of each day, and round-ups will be posted at midnight EST.

In order to keep TWW Pride accessible to everyone, we request that you add alt-text or an image description to any visuals.

This information, as well as an accessible version of the prompts list, can be found on our desktop site here.

FAQ

What do you consider a queer fanwork?

Whatever you consider to be queer - and in whatever form (fic, poetry, gifs, edits, art, etc) - so do we. This is an inclusionary event, and here will be no policing of identity or creation. While any maturity rating is welcome, all we ask is that content is appropriately tagged for its platform (AO3 or Tumblr).

Do I have to wait until the month begins to start writing/drawing/editing?

You can begin creating as soon as you’re ready, but only content posted during the month will be counted for archival purposes.

How closely do I have to follow the prompts?

The prompts are inspirational, not compulsory. Any queer fanwork is welcome this month, regardless of if they fit into the prompts!

How do I make sure you can find my work when I post it?

If you’re posting on Tumblr, be sure to use the tag #twwpride25 so we can reblog and promote it! On Ao3, you can find The West Wing Pride Week collection here! A question we missed? Ask us right here!

National Library Week Shout-Outs!

I LOVE libraries – and this week, April 6 to 12, is National Library Week, so I’m here to shout-out my favorite libraries.

US-Nation-Wide Libraries: these are libraries that are available, via Libby, to anyone in the United States!

Queer Liberation Library: “Queer Liberation Library (QLL) is fighting to build a vibrant, flourishing queer future by connecting LGBTQ+ people with literature, information, and resources that celebrate the unique and empowering diversity of our community.” I love QLL, it’s so great and filling such a huge need. They’re one of the handful of organizations that Duck Prints Press donates to monthly.

The Japan Foundation Los Angeles Library: “The Japan Foundation, Los Angeles (JFLA) promotes international awareness and mutual understanding between Japan and the U.S. through cultural exchange. We administer a wide range of programs and grants aimed at introducing Japanese arts and culture, supporting Japanese Studies and language education, and promoting publications, translations related to Japan.” Fantastic if you’re studying Japanese or love Japanese culture. They have toooons of manga.

If anyone knows more nation-wide Libby libraries, please do tell, I’d love to find, join, and support more!

New York State Libraries: I live in New York, so the rest of my faves are local. I’m lucky to live in a state where many libraries allow all state residents access at no cost.

Schenectady County Public Library: My local library system! Also accessible to people throughout the Capital Region (Montgomery, Fulton, Schoharie, Hamilton, Saratoga, Warren, Washington, Albany, and Rensselaer counties). I’m there multiple times a month, getting books for myself or my kids. All those queer YA graphic novels y’all see me reading in my weekly and monthly round-ups? Borrowed from the SCPL.

New York Public Library: I grew up going to my local branch of the NYPL in New York City. Now, I’m still able to access their collections, as can anyone who lives in New York State. They have a huge, amazing collection, and it’s absolutely worth the effort of getting a card if you’re able.

Brooklyn Public Library: I have been so so so impressed by their selection of queer books and graphic novels since I got a card for their Libby. The size of their collection is comparable to NYPL, and they’re also free throughout the state. Absolutely worth it. They also have very high loan and hold limits, and as a result of that and their huge collection of queer manga, they have become my most-used Libby library.

Buffalo and Erie County Public Library: My newest library! I haven’t gotten to use them much yet, but they have an interesting and varied collection that I’m looking forward to digging into once I get through some of the copious number of BL manga volumes I borrowed from BPL.

Other…

The Lilly Library: I have to shout out the Lilly, a rare book library at Indiana University at Bloomington. I studied library science at IU, and earned my MLS, and I took multiple classes at the Lilly and interned and worked at their conservation lab during my two years there. The professor who taught those classes now runs the library, so even though I haven’t been there for a long long time, I’m absolutely positive it’s still a wonderful place totally worth a visit if you get the chance. They’ll bring out any of their huge, varied collection that you ask to see, and they do regular exhibits of rare books from the collection.

What are your favorite libraries? Please do tell!

consider yourself tagged! reblog and tell me your favorite libraries, and I'll share those too!
