Summary:

An evening spent drinking in the company of the fairer sex always made Seto eager to restake his claim over Katsuya. Jealousy was gasoline, and they were playing with fire.

Read on AO3

---

Before Katsuya knew it, he landed flat on his back in the backseat of Seto's Lexus, with the man crouched over him. The parking garage was devoid of people, and the vehicle's tinted windows offered a semblance of privacy. Still, Katsuya tensed when Seto pounced on his lips, ferocious as he sucked the air from Katsuya's lungs.

Not a second later, Seto sprang back, a nasty snarl worming across his face. "You stink of that bimbo's perfume."

Once he finished spitting his jealous venom, he began attacking Katsuya's clothing. A button sprang loose, vanishing into the darkness. Katsuya mourned its loss, wondering if his tiger-print shirt would soon follow.

v windy today, and somehow the stake supporting the cherry sapling fully extracted itself from position

like it escaped both the earth it was buried in and the tie two-thirds up keeping it to the tree, and then just leaned itself against the outside of the pot. genuinely, what the fuck.

2024 Guide to Liquid Restaking: Everything Beginners Should Know

The advent of liquid restaking is significantly altering the dynamics of the DeFi ecosystem by allowing stakers to reallocate their assets across multiple protocols without the need to un-stake. This innovative approach enhances both liquidity and flexibility, enabling users to maximize their staking rewards by participating in several staking opportunities simultaneously. By diversifying staking activities, liquid restaking mitigates risks associated with exposure to a single protocol and enhances overall security. It also improves liquidity, making it easier for users to trade and transfer their restaked assets, a flexibility not afforded by traditional staking methods.

Liquid restaking's seamless integration with DeFi platforms facilitates the use of staked assets in various financial products, thereby opening up a plethora of innovative use cases, such as collateralized lending and synthetic asset creation. This integration supports the decentralization ethos of blockchain technology by allowing more participants to engage in staking without the constraints of locked assets. As the DeFi sector continues to evolve, liquid restaking is poised to become a foundational component, driving greater innovation and user participation.

EigenLayer exemplifies the benefits of liquid restaking by enabling users to maximize their staking rewards while securing multiple blockchains. This approach not only enhances capital efficiency but also fosters new opportunities within the DeFi space.

For those looking to leverage these advantages, Intellisync provides advanced liquid restaking solutions, ensuring your assets remain accessible and continuously productive. Join the Intellisync revolution today and optimize Learn more....

It really hits at me, the way that Sam and Dean talk about each other's deaths, or near deaths.

"Come back to me"

"I thought I lost you."

They very rarely say things like "I thought you were dead". Dean says " I couldn't live with you dead" and Sam says that Dean dies during the mystery spot episode, but that's not how they usually speak about it. Usually, they talk about it like the other has been stolen from them. I, me. The tone is possessive.

Idk. I don't know how to express it. But "I thought I lost you/Come back to me" something about that really affects me. "I thought I lost you. Come back to me." They belong to each other, they restake their claim on each other as a way to soothe and comfort and reassure.

[windvexer]

your advice of creating/experimenting with the wackiest ways of reading tarot that one can think of (said very affectionately) actually inspired me to use a card game i was developing before to communicate with the spirits around me to get an idea of what they would like from me! very briefly the premise of the card game is that you and your friends are rulers of kingdoms, and various npcs approach you with problems to solve. you have limited cards with singular solutions on them that depending on how well they fit the problem, will either increase the npc’s goodwill towards you or decrease it. so i was able to modify this and have the court cards (i prefer playing cards to tarot for this sort of thing) substitute in for the npcs and hence the spirits im contacting, and the other cards be the solution cards, with the two jokers as null cards. im sure there will be future kinks to work out but i’m so pleased with the system thus far, because previously i had been unable to figure out how to get specific mundane answers from my spirits but this has both magical and mundane solutions that can be interpreted based on the question :D

oh and i wanted to give an example but forgot! today i asked a pepper plant on our balcony what would be most helpful/pleasurable for it, and the answering card said that i should ‘seek advice from neighbouring kingdoms’, which i interpreted to mean ask another human (as i represent my kingdom, so another human would represent another kingdom) what would be helpful for the plant. so i asked my mum (who is really the gardener of our house) if there was anything that had happened to the pepper plants and she said that that one specifically had been nearly fully uprooted by a strong wind storm the other day and needed to be restaked and stuff (which i was unaware of). anyways that was a really decent and unexpected confirmation that the communication had worked :)

This is simply so marvelous, thank you for sharing (and sorry in my delay in replying!)

Is there any chance you'd like to share the rules of the game? This sounds like such a fun system, I'm sure at least someone (besides me!) would be interested.

OMG ITS BEEN FOREVER hi its me 💙 anon :)) had to take a temp break sending asks bcuz reasons lol ANYWAYS back on the Internationally Wanted grind 💪

Anyways last post u made a joke abt Inho and Junho eiffel-towering Gihun in Paris AND I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT 😭😭 an informant, a former winner of one of Spain's Games who moonlights as a painter who depicts their pastel nightmares, gets them invitations to a private event likely to host some of Europe's Gamemakers, and their cover story is that Gihun is a high-class foreign art model, Inho his translator, and Junho his bodyguard. cue overprotective Hwang bros having to fend off too-tipsy European men and women who look at Gihun like they wanna take a bite right out of him. when they get back to their hotel, utterly exhausted but unusually keyed up with jealously, they restake their claim on Gihun, thoroughly.

Gihun with his knees up by his ears, wailing as Junho jackrabbits into him, hands bruising his lush thighs, teary eyes landing on Inho who sits on the bedside chair, biting his knuckle and pumping his cock. Junho holding Gihun gently, cooing and kissing his face as Inho presses kisses to Gihun's back and shoulders, thrusting into him from behind. Inho and Junho laying on either side of Gihun, hands roaming all over his bare, flushed skin as he sleepily jerks their cocks with his hands, whining when they both cum, coating his belly and back with their claim.

Also, not necessarily Inhun/Junhun porn, but i TOTALLY think of Internationally Wanted!Gihun as some kind of Black Widow/femme fatale-esque character. like hes got his mercenary and ex-guard teams to carry out the actual killings of the World's Games hosts, gamemakers, and VIPs. but Gihun has unconsciously adapted this persona that he adapts in difficult situations, where suddenly his lies are honey-smooth and his body moves like its not his own, all suave and flirtatious, and hes become a perfect spy without any training at all. i imagine him straddling men and backing women into walls, fluttering his eyelashes, pouting out his bottom lip, angling his body to show the sharpest angles and the smoothest curves, tilting his head just so, and people just fall over themselves to tell him state secrets. and then, once he has what he wants, he pulls away and disappears in the space between blinks, leaving his victims too-warm and utterly confused and taken with the mysterious succubus-like being that enchanted them.

Junho and Inho turn into lovesick little LOSERS the first time Gihun pulls his dominatrix act on them, damn near putting the both of them down on their knees with just one glance. and the funny thing is? Gihun doesnt even REALIZE he doing it for the first few times. he just thinks that people just naturally trust him. but ohohoho, the second he realizes the effect it has on the Hwang brothers? well, lets just say that he finds that he REALLY likes the feeling of power 😏

omg hi, welcome back!! 💖💖💖💖

I LOVE BLACK WIDOW FEMME FATALE SUCCUBUS SIREN GIHUN SO MUCH 😩😩

GIHUN BEING SEDUCTIVE AND LOWKEY MANIPULATIVE AND THE HWANG BROS LOVING THAT FOR HIM OH EFVNODENJVFIJEJNVF

with this in mind, now i want gihun to be the one who takes their relationship to the next level - he's slept with inho and he's slept with junho, separately and following each of their leads, but it's gihun himself who initiates the threesomes they have. he uses those mind powers of his to get both brothers into his bed (with their full consent and awareness ofc) 🫶🙌

[roxannepolice]

I kinda love that by the time the Doctor tries to actually rush at the Master with the perception filter key necklace, the Master's already fucking got the USA president elect murdered on live TV and then started clapping maniacally for everyone to see. I could make this into about how this might just be the last time the Master's plans were really, genuinely, completely independent of the Doctor, but the more important thing is that at this point there is no plausible denial left.

Ten just badly wants to put a piece of jewellery on his husband for everyone to see him restake the claim to his body(ies) and soul and I think it's beautiful.

🎉🍾 The Exciting World of Crypto Giftboxes! 🌟🎁

Gather ’round, crypto enthusiasts, because SafePal has teamed up with Puffer Finance for what can only be described as the gift that keeps on giving! From June 10th to 16th, 2025, they’re launching a Giftbox Campaign that promises to sprinkle some DeFi magic into our Ethereum (ETH) lives! 💸✨

While the actual contents of these giftboxes are as mysterious as Bitcoin’s origin story, one thing is clear: users will be dabbling in restaking. Oh, the thrill of speculative rewards! 🎲💰

Sure, SafePal is no stranger to making waves with collaborations, but this one has got us scratching our heads! 🤔💭 What could possibly happen during this restaking extravaganza? What will our wallets look like post-campaign? Will the Doge memes finally become sentient and take over the crypto world? 🐶💥 All questions, no answers. Classic!

More DeFi Drama, Less Data 📉🤷‍♂️

Let’s talk trends. Collaborations like this one usually lead to a quick spike in user engagement. Remember that time when the internet freaked out over a meme? Yeah, pretty much like that! So gear up, because while no one’s dropping exact reward figures (looking at you SafePal!), this partnership has ‘temporary excitement’ written all over it!

I mean, who doesn’t love a little Twitter drama? 🤳

In fairness, this campaign matches the pattern of SafePal's previous DeFi escapades, think Tradoor, which left us dizzy with excitement (and maybe a little poorer) after their last massive event. SafePal is clearly playing the long game, and we’re just the pawns asking for snacks! 🍿🎮

Join the Crypto Party 🎊🥳

So, mark your calendars, set alarms, and maybe even pray to the crypto gods because this Giftbox Campaign could be the highlight of June 2025! And if you’re as curious as we are about how this partnership will unfold, make sure to keep your eyes peeled on the official channels of SafePal and Puffer Finance for all the juicy updates! 📢👀

Understanding Crypto Farming on STON.fi: A Straightforward Guide for Everyone

When I first heard about crypto farming, it felt like trying to understand a foreign language. I thought, “Is this really worth my time?” But once I got the hang of it, I realized it’s one of the simplest ways to grow your crypto assets over time.

This isn’t another complex explanation; this is me sharing what I’ve learned about farming, farm pools, and why STON.fi is a game-changer. By the end of this, you’ll see that farming is not as complicated as it sounds.

What Is Crypto Farming? A Simple Explanation

Imagine you have some spare money. You could keep it in your wallet where it earns nothing, or you could put it in a bank that uses it to make loans and pays you interest in return. Crypto farming works on the same principle, but instead of a bank, you’re using a decentralized exchange (DEX).

In farming, you provide liquidity to a pool (basically, a pot of funds that helps facilitate trading on a platform). In return, you earn rewards in the form of tokens. It’s like planting seeds in a garden. Over time, those seeds grow into crops, and you get to harvest the rewards.

What Are Farm Pools, and Why Should You Care?

Farm pools are where the magic happens. These are specific liquidity pools on a DEX where you can “deposit” pairs of tokens. Think of it like joining forces with others to run a small business—you contribute resources (your tokens), and in return, you get a share of the profits (rewards).

For example, if a trading pair like TON/uTON is in demand, and you provide liquidity for it, you’ll earn rewards when traders use your tokens for transactions. It’s a win-win: the platform gets liquidity, and you get compensated for your contribution.

Why Farming on STON.fi Is Worth Your Attention

STON.fi makes farming accessible for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned trader or just starting out. It’s a platform that doesn’t drown you in complicated jargon. Instead, it lays everything out clearly—what rewards you can expect, how long you need to commit, and what risks are involved.

Here’s why I think STON.fi stands out:

1. Transparent Information: You know exactly what you’re getting into, from rewards to lock-up periods.

2. Flexible Options: There’s a range of farm pools to suit different goals and risk levels.

3. Ecosystem Support: By farming on STON.fi, you’re supporting the TON blockchain, an innovative ecosystem in the crypto space.

Current Farming Opportunities on STON.fi

Let’s look at the farming pools available on STON.fi right now. Each pool is tailored for different types of users, so you can choose the one that fits your goals:

1. JETTON/USDt V2 Extended

Rewards: 22,500 JETTON (~$6,000)

Farming Period: Until December 30

Lock-Up: 15 days

This pool is linked to JetTon Games, a GameFi ecosystem on the TON Blockchain. It’s like supporting the future of gaming while earning rewards.

2. hTON/TON V2

Rewards: 30,866 HPO (~$777)

Farming Period: Until December 24

Lock-Up: None

This one feels like a flexible savings account. You provide liquidity, earn rewards, and can withdraw anytime.

3. HPO/hTON V2

Rewards: 61,733 HPO (~$1,600)

Farming Period: Until December 24

Lock-Up: None

If you’re looking for high rewards without locking up your tokens, this pool is a great choice.

4. TON/uTON

Rewards: 411 STON + 345 uTON (~$3,700)

Farming Period: Until January 16

Lock-Up: None

This pool connects to Utonic, a platform offering staking and restaking options. It’s like earning cashback while contributing to a robust financial system.

Lessons I’ve Learned While Farming on STON.fi

When I started farming, I treated it like an experiment. I began small—just enough to get my feet wet. Over time, I started noticing how rewards trickled in, much like planting a tree and watching the first few leaves grow.

Here’s what I’ve realized:

Patience Pays Off: Farming isn’t a quick 1.money-making scheme. It’s a steady, long-term strategy.

Understand What You’re Committing To: Always check the lock-up periods and rewards before diving in.

2.Diversify Your Pools: Just like in traditional finance, spreading your investments across multiple pools helps reduce risk.

STON.fi made this process easy for me. The platform feels intuitive, and I didn’t feel overwhelmed even as a beginner.

How to Make Farming Work for You

If you’re new to farming, here are some practical tips to keep in mind:

1. Start Small: Don’t throw all your assets into one pool. Test the waters first.

2. Stay Informed: Farming pools and their rewards change over time. Stay updated to take advantage of new opportunities.

3. Think Long-Term: Farming is like planting an orchard, not picking wild berries. The real rewards come with time.

Why Crypto Farming Matters

At its core, farming is about creating value in a decentralized financial system. By participating in farm pools, you’re not just earning passive income—you’re contributing to a system that empowers users and reduces reliance on traditional banks.

Imagine this: instead of your money sitting idle in a bank, it’s out there working for you, generating rewards and supporting the growth of innovative blockchain ecosystems like TON. That’s what farming offers—a chance to be part of something bigger while securing your financial future.

Final Thoughts: Farming with Confidence

Crypto farming on STON.fi is one of the most straightforward ways to dip your toes into decentralized finance. Whether you’re here to earn passive income or support a growing ecosystem, farming offers a rewarding experience.

The best part? It’s accessible to everyone, no matter your level of expertise. So, if you’ve been hesitating, now’s the time to explore. Start small, stay informed, and enjoy the journey of growing your crypto assets.

Remember, farming isn’t just about the rewards—it’s about being part of a financial revolution that puts control back in your hands. Happy farming!

Liquid Staking for Novices: A 2024 Introductory Guide

Unlock the full potential of your cryptocurrency investments with liquid staking, where liquidity meets profitability.

Liquid staking is transforming the cryptocurrency landscape by offering a solution to the liquidity problem associated with traditional staking. By issuing Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs), this innovative approach allows users to stake their assets while retaining the ability to trade or use these tokens in various DeFi protocols. This dual benefit of earning staking rewards and maintaining liquidity makes liquid staking an appealing option for investors, particularly those involved with major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana.

This dual benefit of earning staking rewards and maintaining liquidity makes liquid staking an appealing option for investors, particularly those involved with major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana.

The process of liquid staking involves depositing cryptocurrency into a staking contract, which then issues a liquid staking token representing the staked assets. These tokens can be utilized in decentralized exchanges, lending platforms, and yield farming protocols, providing users with the flexibility to optimize their investment strategies. This increased liquidity and flexibility allow users to respond quickly to market changes and new investment opportunities, making liquid staking a valuable tool in the crypto ecosystem.

Despite its benefits, liquid staking presents certain challenges, including the risk of validator penalties and smart contract vulnerabilities. Additionally, the regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is continuously changing, which may impact staking practices. Nonetheless, liquid staking is poised to play a pivotal role in the future of blockchain finance, enhancing the value of crypto assets through improved accessibility and liquidity.

What’s the most surprising smut pairing you’ve written?

Share a DVD commentary on Scripts and Tongues?

Share a smut rec for Maedhros.

thank you so much for the asks! 💖

13. What’s the most surprising smut pairing you’ve written? 

I think at this point, Gandalf/Círdan! I told a friend on the phone that I was going to write that pairing a couple months ago and was cackling at her reaction. Otherwise, maybe Daeron/Thingol (and thank you for your support of both of these!) Both are the only smut fics for these ships in their AO3 tags, so I guess I'm happy to feel like they fill some kind of niche!

22. Share a DVD commentary on [one of your smut fic/smutty scene from a longer work]. (Scripts and Tongues, the aforementioned Gandalf/Círdan)

Heheh. So this fic was born of 2 things basically: a past discussion with @searchingforserendipity25 that set up Gandalf/Círdan as A Ship in my mind, ft. beach imagery, and then my preparing to write some things for smut week and having the VISION implanted in my brain of like "sex joke featuring 'I'm missing your STAFF'". And then I thought it'd be charming to have this sexting take place sometime around LotR, in familiar events--I wasn't at first decided when and where, or if it might be like a "throughout FotR" kind of thing, or in Moria, but, I'm rereading LotR quite slowly now on audiobook and so had the episode of Gandalf recounting at Elrond's Council his research in Gondor's library on the brain. Initially, I wasn't settled on that setting/moment but the more I wrote it (and the more innuendos I could work in related to it) I quickly decided I was keeping it. :D I'd thought initially I might write a longer, sexier scene, but realized I liked it as a briefer piece just moving into the sexier part, focused on the part I was most excited to write and share (the sexting).

Also, I'm honestly full of thoughts about them now: in my head there's like a dramatic whole soap opera thing where Gandalf arrives in Middle-earth and is perhaps greeted with a little skepticism from Círdan (who instantly sees he is a Maia and who's already lived thru like the whole First Age, drowning of Turgon's and his own mariners, sinking of Beleriand etc), vs. Evil Rivalmance smooth-talking Love Interest/Ex Saruman, Círdan coming to trust Gandalf and give him Narya as a token of MARRIAGE um trust, becoming snarky yet relied-upon confidants and then naturally boyfriends, Saruman very personal inevitable yet slay betrayal, later angst and hurt/comfort (pain when the osanwe bond is severed as Gandalf 'dies' and returns??), seaside retirement and coming to know Gandalf's Maia form in Valinor after they sail... IDK IDK. There's so much there and I'm coming to have a lot of feelings about Gandalf as a character. I wish I wrote faster and had the motivation to do some kind of 50k longfic old man yaoi for them; I doubt that will happen but I hope you can imagine and experience for yourself the beautiful vision that it would be.

23. Share a smut rec for [character]. (Maedhros)

Oooh okay. I'm going to share just a few of my favs from across time and space...

Maedhros/Maglor:

Do Not Bait Me With Your Laughter by The_First_And_The_Last - SEARINGLY HOT times in Valinor ft. slightly dubcon Maedhros seduction of trans!Maglor. Absolutely formative!!

Hunting Time installment 2 by Divano_Messiah - Yes I did read this via googletranslate which makes some interesting choices, but the sheer poetry of this omegaverse series transcends language and culture. In this fic, Maedhros returns to the family home to realize Celegorm has taken advantage of Maglor, who is his own, and he restakes his claim. Just brilliantly indulgent, and contains the line "Nelyafinwe, are you fucking insane?" from Celegorm that rewired my brain about unhinged Maedhros potential.

No Pearls, No Feathers by dur - For something entirely different, rough and highly charged moments between Maedhros and Maglor in late stage Beleriand. This fic is packed with beautiful, weighty writing that really arrests you, making the reader feel and experience each second of this brief in time, yet SO POWERFULLY CHARGED and sexy scene with its rise and awful fall alongside Maglor. Really breathtaking, and Maglor thinking of Maedhros denting a goblet in his hand won't leave me ever now.

Maedhros/Fingon:

I already recommended Death and Taxes on another one of these asks, but...

Pantië by orphan account - Maedhros/Fingon, past Maedhros/Sauron - to this day the ANGSTIEST Nirnaeth fic to me even though it ends right before the battle itself. Maedhros' intimacy issues. Maedhros' control issues and desperate need to give up control. Sexy angst and manipulation all around, alongside and coexisting with this real, strong undercurrent of loving romance between Russingon.

Exchange of Favors by daphnerunning - this fic series I honestly read before I read the Silmarillion itself and it's meant so much to me, even as I've moved off in some interests! This installment is the sweetest, funniest, most intimate and tenderly charged Elves Roleplaying As Humans (Maedhros as Fingon's mistress). I love it so!

Maedhros/Thingol:

YEAHH babey secret sexiest ship of the book.

Guidance by iddump (and in fact the whole series that goes with this, but this is an incredible, soo sexy bite-sized version) - Thingol edging Maedhros while advising him (mentor to mentee... one lord to another...) on his correspondence.

Maedhros' Good Report Card by @imakemywings - fem!Maedhros as fem!Thingol's younger sugar baby in a modern AU. Being dommed so thoroughly and with such steady affection could probably fix everything wrong with Maedhros. I have to mention this one because fem!Thingol blew my mind this past week and I'm still reeling and recovering.

When the prowl retrieves their husbands he will cry, or cling to them like a koala, or go into mania long enough to spark up a few of them. what comes first
