author's note! (italic is used to symbolize when you, Neteyam, or anyone else are using sign language)

Your eyes flutter open, the bright sun shining through your Marui waking you. You look your your right, seeing Neteyam's body sprawled out on the cot, your head rested on his arm as it was wrapped around you. Carefully, you lift his arm over you, placing it back down softly to ensure that he stays sleeping. You stood up and stretched your limbs, quietly yawning as you keep your eye on Neteyam laying on his back, mouth wide open as he snores.

Since it's early, you figure you might as well get something to eat while you still can. Grabbing your gear, you throw it around your shoulder and give your mate a tiny kiss on the cheek before leaving. "See you soon, my love."

You make your way to the water, stepping in knee deep as you scope out for fish, readying your catching net just in case. As you continued to carefully examine the clear water, your eye catches something. A fully blue fish with with multicolored fins, floral flushed orange and yellow. You throw out the net, scooping it up and holding it to your face as you studied it's properties.

It was an interesting shape to say the least, large pincher's at it's mouth, while it kept an oval-like shape. Sloapek. You don't see these around too often, but you're happy to have caught it for you and your mate.

As you were traveling back to the common square, you hear a faint calling of your name. "Y/n!" Your ears twitch back, looking around, but you still didn't see anyone. That was, until you felt a tap on your shoulder. Turning around in an instant, you're met with Tsireya who's beaming at you."Tsireya, hello! It's nice to see you." You sign, smiling wide as your tail stills in content.

"It is nice to see you too, y/n! You are never out this early, is everything alright?" She asks, concern written all over her face. You nod. "I am fine. I just wanted to get something for Neteyam and I, see?" You hold up the net and her face drops in awe. "Sloapek!? Oh, I'm so jealous! I never see them anymore!" You held back a giggle as she spoke, nodding with a pleased look on your face. "You must have worked hard for this, I'm proud of you!" You awkwardly smile, knowing that it took you less then 2 minutes. "I should get back to Neteyam. He's might be missing me right about now."

"Oh, mhm! See you later, y/n!" You wave before going back to your Marui. As you approach the entrance, you get a glimpse of Lo'ak inside, he's sitting on your cot while Neteyam stands. As you were about to step in, you hear one of them speak.

"So, does she really not talk?" Lo'ak asked Neteyam.

"I mean, no. Not really.. She speaks with her hands."

"Shit, man. That's so weird.. how do you guys fuck?" You winced at his words, feeling shameful for yourself. "I don't know how you do it bro." He chucked.

"Don't say that." Neteyam defends. "..and we don't fuck, honestly. I don't know how to tell her and, plus, I don't wanna hurt her." He playfully scoffed, folding his arms. In all honesty, you wanted to expirience such things with him, but you never had the courage to ask. Your relationship consisted of pristine love, and though you have been together for a few months, neither of you made a move.

Not wanting to hear any more, you finally walk in. Greeting Lo'ak with a small head bow as you set down your net. Giving your mate with a short, but passionite kiss. "Y/n, hey baby." He pulls you into a hug, wrapping his arm around your waist. "Hey y/n." Lo'ak mumbled. "I'm gonna get going but, it was nice to see you- y/n. And, talk to you later bro." Before leaving, he pulls his brother into a breif handshake. "Tell her." He whispers in Neteyam's ear, gone right after.

Neteyam's body flushes with anxiousness, rubbing his hands together. You took the rest of your gear off, wrapping your coiled curls into a low ponytail and bending down to reach for the fish that sat in the net. "Wait, before you do that-" Neteyam starts. You freeze in your position, turning your head to look at him and holding your palm out. "What is it?" His mouth opens and closes before speaking. "Y/n, are you.. a virgin? Like, have you ever had sex before?" A lump formed in your throat as you gulp. You weren't quite sure what to say, you didn't really want to answer him. "No." You avoid eye contact, looking down as you go back to your standing position. "I have not."

Neteyam seemed taken aback by your response, his lips quivered for a moment. "Do you, want to?" He blurts out

You instantly shot him a look, the breath you had being sweeper from your lungs. A part of you wanted to. So badly.. but the other part was petrified of how it might turn out. Would it hurt you? Would you hurt him? What if you do something wrong? He holds your chin with his two fingers, turning your head to him as he stares down at you.

"I'll make it easy for you.. we can even go slow, how about that?" His melodic tone filled your ears, practically making you melt before him. You blink a few times, feeling like your heart was going to shoot out of your chest. He was patient with your response, letting you take your time before making this important decision. Hesitantly, you nod. He smiles and kisses your forehead. "Great," he starts. "You'll feel so good, I promise, okay?" Neteyam kisses you again. "Okay" Even though it was sign, he could tell that you were still scared. He reassures you by pulling you into a hug, you buried your head in his chest.

The scent he gave off never failed to chill your nerves. "I love you, y/n. I would never do anything to hurt you, okay?" He softly pulls back by your shoulders, facing down. You held a hand up, closing your middle finger, but keeping your pink, index, and thumb up. "I love you too."

"I have to get to my training session, but I will be back at eclipse." He ruffles your hair, earning a warm smile from you as he rushed out of the Marui.

Several hours have passed. It's almost eclipse and you can't stop your anxiety from building. You pace around the room, trying to take deep breaths and focus on anything else, but it was damn near impossible. You sit down as your mind raced, nervously fiddling with your hands. Closing your eyes, you inhale through your nose and exhale with your mouth. After a few huffs, your rushing heart starts to slow down. You lay back now, sighing and looking at your ceiling. And just as you started to relax, "Hey baby.." You ears perked at the deep voice your hear. Sitting up on your elbows, you try to smile, Neteyam sets his gear down, slowly walking toward your small frame. There's a certain look in his eye, it's dark, and it scares you.

He climbs onto the cot, hovering over you. "Are you ready for me?" He says lowly, and you can almost feel his arousal. You nod twice, slight fear in your expression. Neteyam brings his head down to your chest, tugging at your top with his teeth, causing you to shudder. "Don't be scared," He licks a stripe and your breath hitches. "It's just me." Right after saying that, he tears your top with his fangs, your pupils dilate in shock. He was an entirely different person.

He snakes his hand up to your hard nipples, squeezing your right bud as he spit on your left one, toungue circling your areola. You close your eyes, soft pleasure begins to overcome you. You've never had the urge to make a sound until now, you don't want to, but it's almost impossible to control. "H-hmh.." You mewl. Neteyam notices and his ear twitches, you felt his grin as he continues to suckle on your tits. He now brought his hand down to your loincloth, rubbing your cunt through the fabric as he grazes the formed wet spot. "Already so wet, hm? Such a good girl." He hums, words vibrating your sensitive nipples. Expertly, he unties his own, throwing it off. He comes up from your breasts, and you're met with his large, dark blue cock. Purple veins protruding as it twitches for more. It almost looks.. painful?

Your eyes were wide. "You can touch it, it's okay baby." He reassures. You slowly reach out to his member with your index finger, the second you touch the tip, it twitches again. You quietly gasp, he chuckled at your reaction. "That's how it reacts, pretty. Don't worry." He cupped your cheek, kissing your lips with desire. "Take this off for me", he tugs at the waistband of your loincloth. You comply, lifting your hips to untie it, trying to ignore your shakey hands.

Neteyam shimmy's your cloth down, bringing his head to your wet and glistening heat with a deep inhale. He slides his finger up your folds. "Mm.. so fucking wet baby, I think you're ready for me, wouldn't you say so?" He teases, scissoring you open with his digits as he makes out with your clit. Pleasure overwhelms you, hips subconsciously bucking up to him as you held back your noises, but he could fainty hear you. "Yeah? You speak now, hm?" Your eyes squeeze shut as his pace quickens, now shoving his two fingers inside of you and pumping them with a fast pace. "Uh huh.." You quietly whimper, he feels more than accomplished at the dirty sounds you make. "That's fucking right baby", he curls his digits, massaging your spongey walls, earning a gasped "Nghh!" from you. "Juust like that." He pulled his fingers out, sucking them clean with a pop.

Neteyam pulls your hips toward him, fisting his cock a couple times before aligning it with your entrance. He notices the twang of worry in your face. "You'll love this baby, I'll make you scream my fucking name." He promised. It made you quite nervous, but nonetheless, you nod at him and close your eyes. Without warning, his fat cock is forcing it's way inside of you, inch by inch, knocking the wind from your lungs.

Your eyes flew open, mouth agape at the feeling. He grunts, enjoying the way your delicious pussy is wrapped around him. "Mhmm, yeah.." Neteyam moaned while grinding his hips into you. "Am I making you feel good? Huh?" He growls. You can't sign, and you can't respond in any way. He uses this to his advantage, pulling out and plunging himself back into you, a loud and long moan escapes from your mouth, he smirks as he pumps his cock upward, hitting your sweet spot. Every. Time.

You squeeze your eyes shut, quietly cursing and whining under your breath. "Fuck! Oh fuck, Neteyam.." You repeat with a quiet breath, followed up by another moan, unknowingly making such lewd noises. "You can do better than that." He groans, fucking you faster as the sounds of your bodies coming together filled the room. "Hmmmh, so good! Sosososo g-ood.." You whimper, no longer caring about whether or not you speak, you just need him. More than you ever have before.

You wrappes your arms around his neck, pulling him in closer. "More. I need you." You mewl. "Beg." He demanded, slowly fucking up into you. "P-please.. Nete.. yam." You moaned, "I want you, I want you! S-so fucking bad!" You cry out, breath shaky. "That's what I wanna hear." He huffs, pace increasing gradually. Your pussy clenches around him, exuding wet squelching noises. You whine, begging for something, but you don't know what.

He fucking loves the way you've let go. The intimacy and tension is building between the two of you. He scoffs at how you're still trying to supress your moans, as if you weren't just begging him to fuck you harder a minute ago. "Cmon, let me hear you." He thrusts harder, looking down at your tummy to see his cock poking out with each thust me makes. "Don't try to be all quiet now, you're not so innocent as I thought, huh? You're still a slut. A nasty slut who just needed to be fucked like this, aren't you?" You whine, moans coming out even when you try to stop.

He grabs your hand, placing it on your stomach. "Look at it", he grunts, holding your hand on the reappearing buldge. You watch the way his cock made contact with your tummy, pressing down on it at every chance you get. You felt so incredibly full, each pump in your pussy leaving you breathless. "Mmm.." Neteyam moans through gritted teeth. "Yeah. Keep your hand right there, don't you dare fucking move it." You whimper in response, tears forming in your eyes from the pleasure.

An unfamiliar feeling forms around your core. Your muscles tighten as you feel light. "Uhh! Nete- Neteyam.. I feel weird", You whine, pleading for him to stop whatever he was doing to make your body react this way. "Shh, shh, shh, baby, it's f-fine." His hips staggered inside of you. You truthfully felt like you had to pee. This can't be right. The feeling grew stronger, you can't control your body in it's essance anymore. You need something, some kind of relief. It's building up and it won't stop. "Ngghhh, more! Fuck! Harder, faster!" You moaned, fucking yourself up again him. He picks you up, holding your ass and making you straddle him as his hips slammed back into you. Making you scream and cry in pleasure as you meet his thrusts.

"Almost. Almost, almost, almost", you repeat like a mantra. "Me too baby. Fffuckk, I'm almost there. Gonna paint your insides, give you my seed." Neteyam gracefully moans, it was music to your ears. Suddenly, your pussy clenches around him. Way tighter than before. You gasp and wince. "Ah! Neteyammm!!" You moan your mates name, squeezing your arms around him. Just in time, he stops his movements all together, bursting his warm load inside of you with a low sigh, followed by another small thrust. You felt a heat form in your womb, pure bliss as he filled you up.

Your body goes limp, falling back down on the cot and curling up into yourself. Feeling worn out, like all of your energy had been drained from you. Out of breath, Neteyam lays beside you, gently running his hands across your curves. "You okay baby? You're not hurt or anything?" He checks. You answer with a quiet hum. He turns your face to him, pecking your lips as he briefly glanced down at your cunt, looking at his cum slightly pouring out.

He sighs in content. "Come, let's go get you cleaned up." He stands from the cot and slips his loincloth back on, then bending down to pick you up, throwing you over his shoulder as he secures you "I'm tired, Teyam.." You mumble quietly. "It's alright, I'll take care of you. Just rest." He reassures, tone soothing and low as he brings you to a secluded cave to clean you up.

A Summoner Birthday

Previous post: https://pof203.tumblr.com/post/721832245862744064/a-summoner-birthday

Story (Chapter 5 Part 3)

With that strike, you end the battle and set Lucifuge back to his true self.

FLASH

What the! What I am I doing in this place?!

That should be it. He is back to who he was before.

FLASH

Although, I don't see someone like Lucifuge being on the Internet.

Wakan Tanka right. What Lucifuge doing before coming here?

Lucifuge: (thinking) I don't know how that helps, but alright... (realizing) Oh, now I remember! I was playing an online game with Tsathoggua.

Oh no, does that mean he's here, too?

Lucifuge: (confused) I have no idea what you're all talking about.

You all explain to Lucifuge what is happening.

Lucifuge: I see. Well, I doubt he is here. He logged off just before coming here. He said he was taking a nap. So I guess he's still safe back in the real world.

That's good to hear. I'm not sure how'd we explain it to him. And I hate to see what character he'd appear as.

We should find the breaker. As soon as we do, we'll be closer to getting out of this world and we can check on him.

Lupin: I'm guessing it's probably where the princess is sleeping. At the tower.

Wakan Tanka: Then we should go there.

Now with some insight, you go to the tower of the castle.

Lucifuge: It's a nice place for sleeping, but I don't see the beauty.

Wakan Tanka first looks at me, then at the decorum of the room... He has an idea.

Wakan Tanka: My Lupin...

Lupin: What is it, Wakan?

Wakan Tanka: ... I think you are the sleeping beauty we need.

Lupin: (a bit surprised) Me?

Wakan Tanka: Just trust me on this.

Lupin: ... (smiling) Alright, I trust you, My Wakan.

Lucifuge: Hold on. If I'm the evil fairy in this story, let's do this right.

Lucifuge snaps his finger and a magic spinning wheel appears.

Lucifuge: I can assure you that you won't die from pricking your finger on the spindle, it'll just put you to sleep. Let's hope you know what you're doing.

Lupin: We do.

You take a deep breath as you get closer to the spindle. And then... You prick your finger on it. You suddenly feel dizzy and sleepy as the room starts to spin wildly. You can barely make out anything... And then, everything goes black.

Fortunately, Wakan Tanka catches you before you hit the floor. He carries you to the bed and lays you there. He leans down on you looking passionite.

Wakan Tanka: (whispering) I trust you, My Lupin. I love you... I love you, Heyoka.

???: We both do. We are one. Even though he is not a part of us now... We love him... I love him.

Wakan Tanka listens to the voice in his head... He smiles and leans down to kiss you on the lips. The moment your lips meet, you feel a great warmth surging through you, like something was pulling you out of the cold darkness and back into the warm light. When your lips part, you stir and awake. You smiling happily as Wakan Tanka and he smiles back. Suddenly, the bed rumbles. Wakan Tanka carries you off the bed just as it begins to lift... Under it is the breaker.

Now that's what I call a real awkening.

Like with the other breakers, your first press the red button, then the yellow button, then pump the energy.

Kuniyoshi: One.

Maria: Two.

Bigfoot: Three.

Wakan Tanka: Four.

Then, you press the green button and the alarm goes off. You run to Wakan Tanka and you all brace yourselves for the burst of energy that fills the room. It passes as quickly as it came.

Kurogane's Voice: Good job, everyone! That's four down and three to go.

Maria: We're doing fine, everyone. Let's head back.

You started to make our way back to Candyland to get ready to find the next breaker... You and Wakan Tanka are at the back.

Lupin: I'm glad you got me out of that sleep. But how did you know that I had to be the one kissed?

Wakan Tanka: Because you already broke my curse, now it was my turn to break yours. Our love is strong.

Lupin: (happy) I know it is.

Wakan Tanka: (looking a bit serious) ...

Lupin: What is it, Wakan?

Wakan Tanka: It's just... You know that even though you turned me back, I can still turn into Wakan Tanka∞, though, only when I want to. Because of that, Bigfoot's spell is now only just a formality, something to keep Babe Bunyan from getting riled up. I'm still technically with the Invaders, but my reason for staying with them is to teach them something they probably have forgotten. I'm teaching them empathy.

Lupin: Yes, I know.

Wakan Tanka: But...

Lupin: (curious) Yes?

Wakan Tanka: ... (smiling) No, it can wait 'til later. Right now, we have at ask to do.

Lupin: (smiling) Right. I hope to talk about soon.

Wakan Tanka: I'm already looking forward to it.

With that, you go with the rest of the team out of the castle.

Meanwhile, back in Candyland, three people have heard your conversation.

...

...

...

Taurus Mask: I guess we're all thinking the same thing, aren't we?

Oniwaka and Zabaniyya both nod in agreement.

End of Chapter 5.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Like I said, I didn't make it that far in the Main Quest and didn't know that Wakan Tanka∞ would change back to Wakan Tanka. If I had, I wouldn't have added Bigfoot's spell. Although, I still have some question about Oniwaka and Zabaniyya being with my Guild in a past loop. And about Zabaniyya and Israfil, I've read that Israfil is possessing Zabaniyya and that has be a bit worried. If you know anything about Oniwaka, Zabaniyya, and Israfil in the Main Quest, don't be afraid to tell me. (I'll even take spoilers if it'll put me at ease.) Thank you.

[libraryfag]

hi basil i’m so curious as to what you thought of passion bc i was SO ready to like it based off of what i heard and then i came away basically only liking the music and thinking the concept was poorly executed which was so tragic….. but bc it is such a strange show i am always so curious about people’s reactions/interpretations

hi theo! i also was very interested in the concept, as as gothic horror girlie but was a bit let down by the execution. i think the main problem is i'm not a huge fan of shows that just focus on a relationship without much ensemble and takes itself very seriously, like Miss Saigon and Phantom, because to be honest, they just kinda bore me?? and at least the two examples i gave have a few upbeat and comedic ensemble numbers to change up the mood, and while there were a few opportunities for those in Passion, ie. from the other military leaders they never really went the full way. However, maybe just because of my love of sondheim i think i liked it more than the other two, but it might be my least favourite of his shows so far.

In a more positive light, Passion is so intriguing conceptually. I really liked how it explores the 19th century idea that women can only be loved for their beauty, but also it was interesting how Fosca, and Clara to an extent, have so little power in their lives which might be why they can only exert it to their feeling towards Giorgio. Also very fascinated by its exploration of disability and illness. Something that i only just considered while listening to tick tick boom in the shower before, is that i think the decision to adapt the film/book during that time could be a reaction to the AIDS epidemic, especially considering James Lapine also wrote falsettos. In the biography, Meryle Secrest has a very strong argument that Passion is somewhat connected to Sondheim's relationship with Peter Jones and him learning to 'not be ashamed..of the way [he] felt', which i agree with. Secrest also connects Fosca's belief that 'Love...is not possible without suffering, sacrifice, and being abused' to Being Alive "Someone to hold you too close/Someone to hurt you too deep", which is.. insane. Something i also learnt from rereading the Passion chapter, is that the unnamed illness Fosca had is epilepsy which hit close to me because i knew someone who was lost to it way too early, and i don't think many people talk about how fatal it is.

I don't know where to put this but i also really liked the acting, Donna Murphy is an icon and thats about all i have to say.

I LOVE ART!

please forgive my poor articulation.but i need to scream this from the rooftops!!

art is so amazing and i mean all art; painting, photography, sculpting, music, everything! just creating!!! lets not mention my hate for ai 'art' It is so important to me and ive been having these conversations recently about what you love about art what about it gives you passon and drive.

my friend loves how you tell something with a piece and what you can tell, art can have so much meaning and story behind it and it can say so much! and i think it is amazing and that passion you can see in peoples art from realism to contemporary right now she is painting a large canvas and shes useing this guy from jojos but hes like a cyborg and i think he gets cut in half now this i simportant, so she i susing him to convey life and showing your true self so his guts and flesh are spilling out of him but you an also see the metal in him and the contrast is great and its like this brutal thing but the backround is soft, and its like UGH AMAZING! anyway her art teacher finds passion in the prosess of art, and how you can use things,

Personally i love being able to captue (photoraphy) the small things and just the reality of something and its not always nice but its still is soo important to me, like for example if you were on some high mountian landscape that is itself is beautiful but then take a look at your feet and the small thnigs around you that just make this all work, the beauty in small things drives me crazy! in a good way! or like when your high up CN tower for example (expessaly at night) you can see all the lights and working of this big city machine and this machine needs ann these small pecies to work and function but as an indivual you feel so insignifigant, you can see all these little lights and every one is a story a life but then there is just a line where there is no more lights because that where the human life stops, and to make it better there are still lights in the sky the stars I LOVE THE STARS!!! and it would be such a heartwrenching scene if you could ACTUALLY SEE the stars above the city lights but you cant because poloution of all kinds.... but the sight, its so beautiful i love it i could sit there and watch all the lights move for hours. and i feel this way about soo many things! you in a music consert/festival, the falls i love it all.

ANOTHER THING! we were saying these conversations are so intresting and smart and have DEPTH! they are smart conversations, she is verry smart academically inclined but she still has the art 'side' in her and while they do conflict and have battle they are important to one another and can complement eachother beautifuly! im not verry academicly smart so please forgive my poor articulation. but we can still have these conversations with DEPTH! and we were saying that you just couldent have these important, smart conversations with some people (teachers in this context) for example our bio teacher you coud have these amazing conversations about art but he has that arty part of his brain! he is passionite and loves bio but he also loves music! and this can apply to sevral other of our intelectual teachers and students!! so many smart and science geard people have a arty side to them and they are all diffrent!! not just science people ,but science always seem sto be he opposeing side to art hence my stance. honestly science is beauty too like all these tiny tiny things working moving to make one part of one thing so on and so forth just to make one person function. LOVE IT!

art can tell you horrors, beauty and nothing but in a way that says somethting too.

okay so what i meant by misogynistic was the mirror scene, again not a big deal thats why i havent been clarifying. honestly a lot of the women characters arent as well defined as the male characters in this series, which is not a big deal. this doesnt mean that women arent good, but on a scale ill give it a 6/10. for the male characters, theyre quite better. on a scale they are very well defined and fleshed out, i understand why anya isnt fleshed out since shes supposed to be an air of mystery, but we didnt get a fleshed out story line at all with mary and arthur which was kind of a given? it was implied but it was still quite confusing...things like that, things that just involve women tend to get ignored. and this isnt just a jrwi issue its a wide-spread issue among male writers, some are just more extreme with it and some are like...almost unnoticeable if your not really radical (like me)!

and honestly i have been engaging with you in good faith! i wasnt mad about it in the first post, i was mostly mad that you thought i was personally attacking the council and you for responding and that i hated that they were men (again i dont care) and that you had to protect them from evil radfems. i put multiple tags saying that i still quite enjoyed everything, the suckening is one of my favorite campaigns!

and you being mad at a "haha girls better funny joke" you cannot tell me that thats offensive esp when its oppressed groups copying what made them oppress in the first place and shit. im not explaining how youre kind of a non-fun person and way too prized on winning the fight than proving me wrong when a joke that has existed since forever ago (and used by women forever ago) isnt funny or something and is actually offensive, you must take a look at yourself and ask "why was i mad at that?" and "have i been mad at a man making that joke as well?" and then ask yourself "did i get this invested where i had to interact multiple times?"

also the lesbian tag was a joke as i put many "erm actually" shit, and im also autistic. you attacking me for a joke then me explaining it was a joke and then you taking another joke that had many nerdy references and me mocking the people who look into things too much and use their own personal labels to win arguments on social media as a joke...

anyways guys i love mary davis, please make her better in suckening season 2 gracias, she needs more limelight! think im blocking you now because using age as another weapon is just pissing me off because how gaf. i dont want someone who argues like a lawyer while claiming theyre passionite about something in my comments trying to diminish misogyny in writing. bye!!!

mary davis and vanya hemlocke would play VERY different roles if they had a woman playing them...just saying one perception check for vanya would making the world of difference.

just saying if mary didnt run up to a grimslayer and get unlucky would make a world of differnece.

just saying, mary wouldve been more upset at arthur and wouldve brought up him going away for trying to kill vanya (literally running to another woman) IM JUST SAYING!!! IM JUST SAYING!!!

and edward twilight would be a woman if a woman was running the suckening and i would love to see her one day..IM JUST SAYING!!!

🧳 - What age did your muse start their journey?

⚔️ - Will your muse battle with anyone, or are they selective?

"Depends on how you define a start of a trainers journey. If you define the start as just receiving a Pokemon, then I was four. If it's being defined as when I decided to collect badges, then I was five, with help."

"And contrary to the normal for competitive people, I'll battle anyone who asks. Yeah sometimes we have to adjust our own strength, but people enjoy battling, why should I tell them no?"
