ADHD money/budgeting system I'm currently using for my benefit is going well (I've been using it for like half a year now?), and I wanna recommend it.
You Need a Budget is EXCELLENT. 10/10 do recommend. Uhhh rambling about it and my generic disclaimers + gushing extensively under the cut but TL;DR I think it's great for ADHD ppl, I've used it for 6+ months now and I find it super SUPER helpful. also weirdly fun.
DISCLAIMERS:
Budgeting helps you understand/know your money, it can't make money appear where there is none.
Everyone should learn to budget even if you don't have much money (especially then)
This is NOT a magic trick solution. Just like everything else, it is an assistive tool. This is one of those adult things we can't simply opt out of without negative consequences, though.
My advice is based on something I am currently able to do. That is, I can spend an amount of money on this specific thing that works well for me. If you have no extra money to spend then previously I was tracking things in a notebook. So you can still do this.
I believe Dave Ramsey is a fundie fraud/hack and no one should listen to him about money.
DID YOU KNOW THEY CANCELLED MINT???
Okay? OKAY.
Ahem.
You Need a Budget is EXCELLENT.
It is called YNAB for short. The first 34 days are your free trial, and that is my referral link. If anyone uses it and then signs up for a subscription, we both get a month free. Also you can share a subscription with up to six people (account owner can see everything but individuals can pick and choose what they share amongst each other) so like...idk your whole polycule can be on one account. Or your kids. Whatever.
If you are a student, it's free for a year. If you aren't, a subscription is $99 for a year (paid all at once) or $14.99 monthly, which is equivalent to paying Amazon prime. Go cancel Prime and get this instead tbh.
They got a whole article just on ynab and ADHD. They also have like...a big variety of ways to access their info? They have a book, podcast episodes, YouTube videos, blog posts, q&A's, free live workshops you can join (you can request live captioning), emails they can send (if you want) a wiki, and so on. They got workshops on all kinds of topics!!
So whatever ends up working for your brain. It also has a matching app.
If you lost Mint this year they have a gajillion things for moving from Mint.
Also they have a "got five minutes?" Page which has a slider so you can decide how much attention/time you have before going on lol:
Tumblr media
They only have 4 rules of the budget, they're simple and practical, and it doesn't get judgey or like...mean about your spending.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Give every dollar a job 2. Embrace your true expenses 3. Roll with the punches 4. Age your money.
THEN THEY BREAK THESE DOWN INTO SMALL STEPS FOR YOU! They even have a printable! Also these rules are great because there's built in expectations that things WILL HAPPEN and it's NOT all or nothing with a fear of total collapse into failure. Reality and The Plan don't always align, especially if you have ADHD. So it's directing our energy towards the true expenses and not clinging to The Plan!! over reality.
You can automate a lot of shit (you can sync with your bank accounts just like mint, but also automate tagging the categories of regular expenses/transactions). And if for whatever reason you accidentally do something that makes the budget look weird or wrong:
A) you can usually fix it somehow OR b) they have like, a button you can press that gives you a clean slate and archives the previous version of the budget for you.
So if you forget for a few weeks or months, or accidentally input something wildly wrong, or just don't want to look at a really terrible month anymore and feel like you need a fresh start you can usually either fix it or start fresh which is really nice.
The app also (for whatever reason) scratches my itch to have things like...have incentives or little game-like goals in a way mint never did? I don't know why. Filling up the bars or putting money into the categories to cover my expenses is satisfying lmao. You can also make a big wish expense category for all the fun shit you want, and fund it whenever you can and then you can see the little bar go up and that's fun.
Anyways I've been using it for like 6+ months now and I think it's really helped me when I use it.

Do you have any Ratiorine or individual headcanons you haven't been able to fit into fics? Maybe established relationship?
(also hi I hope you don't mind asks like this 🫡)
I LOVE ASKS LIKE THIS. ALWAYS. THANK YOU.
Okay. Ahem. Sorry for shouting.
Ok so one I kiiind of got into in my last fic but didn't really get to go into how it would play out in their established relationship - Aventurine struggles to be verbally honest and vulnerable, so he shows his love a lot of the time by buying Ratio everything and anything. He doesn't have anything else to spend his money on - he buys things just for the sake of buying them, the feeling of owning something. So having someone to SPOIL? He loves it.
Ratio mentions the university's coffee machines are awful? There are new machines AND fancy coffee varieties on campus by the next week. Ratio mentions passing interest in wanting to carbon date a rare fossil up for auction? Aventurine buys it. Ratio's microscope is calibrated wrong? Aventurine buys him a new laboratory. Key feature of their relationship is Ratio being showered in gifts. He is the galactic sugar baby.
Also just.... they are both very touchy and clingy because they can only be like that with each other. Aventurine drapes himself over Ratio like a blanket at any opportunity, hangs off his arm like a purse, and Ratio is at his absolute happiest when he's reading a new academic article with the weight of Aventurine's head on his chest.
They will both deny this but with Ratio's lack of friends / companions, and Aventurine's Trauma, they are both very possessive of each other. (In Aventurine's case he's afraid he's doomed to lose people.) But that's okay because they're both into it. That strip of exposed skin on Ratio's side permanently has bite marks on it after they get together.
Some more individual hcs below the cut because I'm rambling sfhgsfdjhg and also because the aventurine one discusses disordered eating!
So I have a lot of headcanons for aventurine. For one he is Skinny - like, worryingly so, because of a combination of growing up the way he did and the habits that's instilled in him. He dines lavishly just to say he can, but he will NOT eat regularly throughout the day unless he's going Out to eat. He squirrels food away and only eats it when he hits that "so hungry you're getting nausea" threshold. He can't stop coming up with wildly unlikely scenarios where he'll end up without food again and he'll need a stash of it.
(Fortunately, Ratio is literally a trained chef and once they're together he regularly visits with lunch or has Aventurine over for dinner so he starts eating 3 meals a day instead of 1 big meal. Aventurine is the only stoneheart with a packed lunch lovingly made by his husband.)
A lot of my headcanons for ratio tend to be more autism and projection related. (The bust is a sensory thing. The robes are actually heavier than they look because having weight on his shoulders calms him and lets him think clearer.) But I guess one thing for him is that he Really resents how the guild is reliant on IPC funding while The Genius Society gets money thrown at them simply for the status their names have. It's one of the reasons he and Aventurine have tension at first bc Ratio is Sick of the IPC lording money over them and expecting weapons and pointless research in exchange for giving him the resources to cure another disease.

Now I have to ask: What's Alfred's place in all this? Does Eddie move in with Bruce in this hypothetical pride issue? Does Alfred have to deal with him just riddling all over the manor?
Cause I'm thinking of the way Alfred and Eddie's interactions went in the podcasts, Alfred having to give him the shovel talk and all, but ofc in this case the situation would be different since this wouldn't cause an Egypt dinner situation and all
okay well first of all this isn't about the podcasts, this is an original piece that DC is hiring me to publish for them in a fantasy world where they're willing to let Batman suck a dick.
anyway in every universe Alfred is opposed to Bruce doing things that put him in danger, which is why Alfred is generally having a pretty terrible time and has to be a 24/7 megacunt to avoid spending all of his time screaming in to the void, so he clearly would not LOVE this! there has to be a better way, Master Bruce!! there was no actual reason you had to kiss the Riddler with tongue, Master Bruce!!!
also no there's no way in HELL he's living in Wayne Manor that's insane. I'm picturing this story being very like that episode of BTAS where the Riddler's like "no I'm normal now ;) I'm a legitimate businessman ;)" and he's just fucking around Gotham high society. he's probably genuinely making a lot of legitimate money; I've talked about this before but one of my favorite traits people give the Riddler is like. "man who is very brilliant and very able to make a ton of money completely legally but unfortunately he has Problems Disorder and keeps shooting himself in the dick." I think in the story I'm pitching here he's probably being really annoying and ostentatious with it (hello, flirting with Bruce Wayne) so he's staying in the penthouse of like. an extremely expensive and tacky Egyptian-themed hotel. you know, for the sphinx motif?
guys am I putting too much thought into this. does anyone know how to get an interview with DC.

Inquisition companion coffee orders and how they'd be at a coffee shop, based on the less than a year I spent working at fake starbucks many years ago. In a different order than my last post, just for the hell of it. Some of these are based on real customers that I still remember. I wrote this at 5am when I was high and unable to sleep so keep that in mind if you think I'm wrong. I'm not wrong but you should keep it in mind. H'kay let's go
Josephine: large americano, extra shots, cream and sugar and sometimes a shot of a seasonal flavor if it's a special day. She comes in twice a day, she tips, and the baristas are all trying to figure out how she hasn't had a heart attack yet from having that much caffeine every day. Staff knows her name and likes her.
Dorian: Iced white chocolate mocha. It's the only thing he gets. He will not drink it hot. He will not try a different flavor. He shows up in the morning and orders two, one with ice and one without, and be puts the one without ice in the fridge to drink later. Staff knows him on sight, but they make him state his order every day as if they don't because he doesn't tip.
Varric: regular brewed coffee, but he likes to hang out at the cafe, work on his books, meet with people, etc. He's really nice, he over tips, and sometimes the staff "forgets" to charge him for a refill. He also orders whatever food they're running out of because he figures that means it's popular and therefore good.
Solas: Decaf brewed coffee, and then he puts a disgusting amount of sugar and cream into it. He actually hates coffee and refuses to drink caffeine, but he doesn't come for the drinks, he comes to people watch and do life drawings. He needs the coffee so he has a purchase that can reasonably last him hours before he's expected to spend more money, and hot coffee won't leave condensation on the table and get his paper wet. Staff knows him and their advice to each other is not to ask him questions because he will answer you, at length, in great detail, if it's something he knows about. But he occasionally just puts a couple 20s in the tip jar, so they've decided he's cool but kind of a weird nerd.
Blackwall: Seems like he'd be a "just a NORMAL COFFEE" kind of guy, but he's actually one of the staff's favorite customers. He's some kind of blue collar worker who comes in on the way to work and on the way home, and he gets the same thing every day: regular hot latte in the morning, decaf hot latte at night. He's always there at rush times, but he's polite and he tips even when service is crowded and messy. The baristas start making his coffee when we walks in the door if they notice him, so he rarely has to wait, but he seems flattered and grateful every time.
Sera: Her order is different every time she comes in and it's always something all fucked up and weird. Half the time she just shows them a screenshot on her phone of some complicated meme recipe from TikTok, or she wants whatever technicolor monstrosity frappuccino that's on special. The staff dreads her order, but she also has a habit of getting belligerent with customers who give the staff a hard time, so they're pretty sure Sera is like a part time security guard who demands meme drinks in payment. They're allowed to complain about her if they want, but they'll malicious compliance the fuck out or anyone else who does.
Iron Bull: He doesn't have a single go-to order, but he's nice and likes to ask the staff for recommendations if it's not too busy and lets them test new recipes on him. He always tries the seasonal flavors at least once. Sometimes he comes in with a group of friends who look like trouble on first glance, but Bull pays for them all at once, doesn't let them order blended drinks, and always makes sure they clean up after themselves, so it's okay.
Cullen: Just a NORMAL COFFEE. He's totally overwhelmed by the amount of choices, but this is the closest place to his office and getting out to buy coffee is his excuse to take a break and stretch his legs. The staff knows him and actually responds to "just a normal coffew" because it's too much trouble to interrogate him about which roast or what size cup, because last time he said, "I don't know, something dark? Whatever has the most caffeine in just a regular size to go cup." He's been drinking a medium blonde roast for years and still doesn't know what blonde roast is, save that he thinks he doesn't like it.
Leliana: Two shots of espresso over ice. Leliana had shit to do and she needs that caffeine in her body as fast as possible. The ice is there to keep her from burning her mouth off. She drinks it like it's whiskey and throws out her cup without even breaking stride.
Cole: Year round pumpkin spiced latte. If they're out of the syrup, he gets the cheapest thing on the menu, no add ins, and then doesn't drink it. He rarely comes in on his own; Cole is usually there with a friend and is aware that it's rude to be there without buying, but the pumpkin spice is the only thing he actually likes. He's polite but he creeps out the other customers with his thousand yard stare.
Cassandra: London Fog, but she never remembers what it's called. She drinks it because she wasn't sure and someone recommended it, but the name just will not stick in her head. She orders it as "hot Earl Grey tea with milk", she listens every time they say "okay, so a London Fog", but by the next time she's in she's forgotten. It's not really a big deal, though, she seems pretty overworked. At this point the staff would be sad if she did remember, honestly.
Vivienne: "The Usual". Literally only one barista knows her order, because it's some customized thing that that specific barista made for her once ages ago. Viv knows what's it in but she will not tell you because she doesn't trust anyone but that one barista to make it. If her regular person isn't around, she just gets a hot latte with sugar free vanilla. That one barista also won't tell you what's in it, but that's because Vivienne tips them directly instead of in the jar and they don't want to ruin a good thing.
**also if you like this and think "i'm gonna give this fine person a follow because they're so funny about dragon age", i made a new DA sideblog at @skyholdstarbucks where i'd post anything similar to this in the future

Answer to this ask I had to post seperately because I reached the character limit or something.
Tumblr media
OHHHH Anon you are not ready. I think about this bastard so much and too deeply.
Before I get into it:
I love how you worded this question- gives a nice atmosphere.
Just to be clear this is all about RED Sniper. I apologise to any BLU Sniper enjoyers for I don't have thoughts about that guy.
I'm not the biggest fan of the comics for many reasons so don't mind me retconning a lot of that.
In the end these are all MY opinions and views of him- if you don't like them that's no problem. It's free real estate.
And FINALLY; my thoughts, under read more:
OKAY, let's start with what even got me to interpret him the way that I do; hell yeah baby, it's Meet the Sniper time.
I've seen MANY people often assume that Sniper is one of the most normal/chill people of the 2fort nine- but the impression I got is that he wants you to think he's normal so desperately despite everything else pointing to how fucking weird he actually is. Simply noticing the stuff he's saying makes it a lot more clear. The very beginning where he goes "Boom, headshot," making light of taking another person's life so swiftly. "Cause at the end of the day; as long as there's two people left on the planet- someone is gonna want someone dead," really positive light you see the world in, Sniper.
Of course you can take this as him being "realistic", and I do agree he's more of a realist than a pessimist or optimist, but "...have a plan to kill everyone you meet," is SO fucked up. Why is his first thought when meeting someone to know how to kill them? This to me is him not being able to properly connect to other people/understand them or actually SEE them as people. Not to mention his smile after delivering that shot in the timelapse of him sniping (AND after stabbing Spy). This cunt enjoys killing. He's not the type to slowly kill someone or torture them- but he is the type to feel satisfaction after planting a bullet in someone; give himself a pat on the back for it- or perhaps find humour in the kill.
The conclusion this brought me to is that he is an unreliable narrator in "Meet the Sniper". (Also the "..be polite," line. Yeah, sure, dude. Your voice lines are very polite.)
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HIS FUCKING TEETH? The way his teeth look and how much they're shown to the viewer by exaggerating his mouth movements feels like a "this guy is NOT normal" sign. No one in the game has teeth similar to him and his canines are HUGE. Like holy shit, he's an apex predator.
A comment @cheebuss (I know you wanna get tagged) saw once has been a running joke between us- it was basically "He indicates so he's normal," which is fucking hilarious, but I can genuinely refute that point. First of all we see him fucking speeding in the beginning of the video- to be fair we don't know what the speed limit on this road is, BUT:
Tumblr media
Cunt drives around with a broken side mirror. That's really unsafe, obviously. A good chunk of that mirror has gone to shit and he does not care to replace it (which feeds into my headcanon of him being stingy/not wanting to spend money because he lived on a farm and they did everything themselves). Speaking of his van; it gave me the impression he likes having everything he needs near him- he doesn't need a grand, expensive space to feel comfortable. (I headcanon that he's actually scared/unnerved by vast, empty spaces/buildings) ALSO I think he's messy and prefers the claustrophobia of his van. I like to believe his childhood room was much the same (to the detriment of his mother)- that's his safe space damn it!!!
And here I can transition into talking about his parents!!! : D Of course, not much was shown to us of Mr. & Mrs. Mundy, but we can still glean some stuff from the video- and partially- the comics.
His father very obviously disapproves of his job, calling him "a crazed gunman", and showing his morals do not align with Sniper's. Sniper calls for his mum during the phone call shown at the very end of the video- looking annoyed and somewhat distressed. It's clear to me that they've had this argument many times and Mrs. Mundy is the mediator in them. I think she disapproves of the job as much as her husband does, but is sick of hearing them argue to that extent. Regardless of this conflict, Sniper loves and cares for his parents- they are his world. He doesn't care for anyone else, most of the shit he does is for their sake and continuing to provide support so they can live a stable life at their farm as they get older. It's one of the nicest things about Sniper.
Although, I do think he struggled to get them to understand him properly. He is a quiet man who doesn't express a lot of his emotions. That will complicate things, especially if he doesn't talk about it- and he doesn't!!! : D
Despite this, I think they were the people he was closest to. Sniper, to me, is a guy who's never had friends and has been lonely as well as isolated his entire life. "Too weird to live, much too rare to die." And this is a VERY long time we're talking about; DECADES. Decades of minimum to no human connection. (Just to note; he is almost 50 to me. The comic writers fucked the timeline up and made him a 20 something year old. The Sin. Do not speak of it to me. It makes him less interesting/compelling I'm not kidding.) He is anxious in social settings, barely speaks up, and prefers to simply back away when he doesn't know how to deal with something. (SUPER DUPER AUTISM + SOCIAL ANXIETY!!!) Does he try to interact with his co-workers? Veeeeery little. He yearns for connection he convinces himself he doesn't need. He trusts no one. He's a mystery to them.
But hey!!! Less distractions from his job!!! (Bad transition) This man is genuinely incredible at what he does- I keep replaying the part where he reloads his rifle. He was not kidding about being efficient (he also kills the entire BLU team in that video??). The lad's got incredible patience, aim, control, and overall understanding of what he's doing. There's something fucked up about him observing the people he's targetting like prey, but let's leave that for when I mention his previous job as a tracker (if I do). I imagine the only thing he excelled at in school (he did go there!! He can write!!!) is maths, as that is very much needed when you're a sniper.
BTW I think he barely passed school; he hated being there, had no interest in school work and his teachers kept pestering him about his social life. Leave him alone, he doesn't need that (he does).
Most of his focus went to his parents' farm where I think he mostly took care of the animals....or went out to hunt them; which is how he learned to shoot out of a rifle in the first place. (His dad taught him.) He's not exactly an animal guy but he's also not not an animal guy.
It's complicated.
ANYWAYS, I've talked enough about one single video. Let's mention his in game voice lines a bit!
There's a LOT of material there but here's the stuff I want to mention:
He talks to himself a lot. He isn't out there with the others- his job is to be perched up somewhere high and shoot from a distance so he doesn't get spotted. He makes so many jokes that only HE's going to find funny, except "You've got a forehead on ya like a coffee table," which is genuinely the funniest thing he's ever said. Boy voices his thoughts and tries to entertain himself when he's alone- I don't judge him for that. He has to sit there for hours in complete focus (he helps himself via a lot of coffee). I DO judge the things he says, however.
He's violent. (WHAT!?) There's plenty of examples but I would like to mention one adressed to his teammates. One of the "Jeers" commands is "Should've saved a bullet for some of you blokes!" which, hey, what the fuck? That's scary. He got so frustrated he threatened his own team with murder. (It's kinda funny) To me this shows he's bad at controlling his outbursts or that he never learned how to deal with them. (Autism moment!!!)
He literally growls.
There's this line addressed to Spy: "What goes around comes around, you snotty little nance." If you're not aware- "nance" is derogatory Australian slang for a prissy, effeminate gay man. I headcanon Sniper as a homosexual man so it tickles me that he's so insecure about this fact. It's sad, absolutely, but I find humour in this horrible man being a homophobic homosexual. Project your insecurities onto a guy who can read people extremely well, why don't you. He won't do anything about it, I promise :) (Lie)
I was doing my best to not mention SniperSpy but CAN WE TALK ABOUT HIS LINES AIMED AT SPY AND HOW THEY'RE DIRECT RESPONSES TO THINGS SPY SAYS? (plus the highest number of revenge lines he has directed at someone is Spy)
-> = response to:
"Aww, did I get blood on your suit!?" -> "You got blood on my suit."
"I was never on your side either! Wanker!" -> "I never really was on your side."
"Ah, my God, you've been shot. Did you get a look at the handsome rogue who did it?" -> "I'll see you in hell, you handsome rogue."
BY THE WAY, THAT LAST LINE? SPY ONLY SAYS THAT TO HIS COUNTERPART. WHAT, WERE YOU LOOKING AT HIM? WERE YOU WATCHING HIM ALL DAY? WHY DO YOU REMEMBER SO MANY THINGS HE'S SAID? WHY ARE YOU SO FOCUSED ON HIM? ARE YOU OBSESSED WITH HIM? ARE YOU OBSESSED? WHY ARE YOU OBSESSED WITH A LITTLE NANCY BOY? HM?
There is so much more I could mention. I think whatever thing he has going on with Spy is super important to him, but I will hold back for your sake as I can talk about this for hours. You have no clue how many parallels there are, etc.
Anyways, he's in Expiration Date! A little bit! He doesn't say anything. <3 I'm proud of him!!! <3
He literally just stands around ominously in the shadows (and finds RED Spy being made fun of very amusing).
Tumblr media
"Hehe."
(I just noticed he took his watch off and put it on his vest. This is an autism moment because I, too, hate having something on me that I don't usually have so I need to balance it out by removing something else; if I have it on me. Either way it's sensory suffering.) (Him being super attached to his hat and glasses is also an autism moment. He is no one without them.)
And then he has that one part in The Bread Fight(tm) where he gets confused by Pauling and Scout pushing the bomb.
Tumblr media
"Tails gets trolled" looking ass.
Tumblr media
I like watching him fall over.
After he falls here, he takes his kukri out which was... attached? situated? It was behind the strap of his arrow carrier. I think that's cool. I also think he wouldn't be doing that during matches because Spy is very much capable of stealing it/putting it away without Sniper noticing, even if it was literally on his back.
Also, I am a firm believer in "Sniper can only do one thing extremely well and has little to no interest in creative stuff," so I disagree with the idea of him being able to play a saxophone. You could say he was made to do that in school, but this guy is a smoker. I do not believe he can do that. You cannot convince me.
I think that's enough! This doesn't even go past the hypothetical tip of the iceberg, but it's a lot of words. This is the very basic stuff you have to know about how I see this cunt.
Thank you for letting me share some of my insanity.

Hello Cas I've wanted to ask this for a while and I didn't know who to ask and I'm hoping you can help, I see a lot of posts about how we shouldn't allow AI to study fanary and fanfiction and I wanted to k ow why I'm just curious and want to understand I see its a boundary for a lot of people and I don't really get why. I mean nothing hurtful or offensive and I'm sure there is a good reason I just don't know it. Also I wanted to tell you that I think it's soo cool how you do ballroom dancing as a hobby and how much I love your microfics I look forward to them everyday much love ❤️
Hi! No problem at all! There's a few reasons.
First, AI creating fanart and fanfiction is super harmful because it reduces the demand for human-created works. Which is horrible, because humans spend so much time and effort writing and drawing, while AI can do the same in minutes. AI works always have flaws, and by increasing the supply of works, it gives human creators less credit for the amazing and superior work they do, that they spend a lot more time on.
Think of it like fast fashion- people want clothes so bad they'll take the cheap, factory-made stuff, but they don't realize that this causes poorly-made clothes to be the norm, and it takes money (credit) away from designers, workers and everyone else in the industry. (It's also horrible for the planet.)
Creators deserve so much love and credit for what they do, because it isn't easy, and to be replaced in minutes by a machine that creates work that isn't as good is upsetting and insulting, you know? AI gives the illusion that with a few clicks of a button, anyone can instantly create something akin to the work I spent 10 months on, and that's just not true.
Second, using fanfiction to train AI isn't okay because, simply put, it's stealing. If someone uses my writing to train AI, they didn't ask me, and I essentially did labor for them by writing the work they're using- I deserve pay (though I wouldn't want it, I would rather them just not use my work, because of reason three).
Third, it's also important to know the reason why people are so touchy about a lot of fanfiction issues is copyright laws. When we start sell fanfiction, bind and sell fanfiction, etc (which sometimes AI users do) it could bring up issues with copyright infringement, because we're making money from creating work from a copywritten work. This might allow fanfiction to be censored and policed, which would basically ruin the entire thing.
Last, it just takes the humanity from it. Fandom is supposed to be a community. Writers, artists, and readers all work together on so many different forums to create works and discuss their favorite fandoms. To me, it just feels icky that people want to take away that community (intentionally or not) by computerizing the process.
I hope this all makes sense, and feel free to add things, guys!

𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓕𝓵𝓪𝓶𝓮 [𝓚.𝓜] 𝟏𝟖+ Chapter 3
Tumblr media
18+ ONLY! MINORS DNI
warnings: oral sex, vaginal sex, size kink, and daddy kink.
- 
It's fair to say most people would take a wealthy man's money if given the opportunity.
If you add him being in a relationship and having an affair the option to take the money would seem obvious, but for some reason, it wasn't. It was a kind gesture but it was one that felt sleazy taking for Bianca.
Bianca pondered on how to approach the situation and landed on a simple text; one that she didn't really expect him to respond to given his recent moody state of mind. How could one man go from coming in your mouth, to ignoring you like you never existed, and then giving a blank check with flowers that same day? It was hard to keep up with.
Even through all of that, she didn't want to stop anything between them. If anything she craved it more. She pressed her thighs together just thinking about Kylian emptying himself down her throat. Kylian was like a drug.
It was everything about him. His wide friendly smile, his strong broad shoulders, his low sensual voice. It was hard not to be drawn to him.
Although Kylian's behavior was odd she understood it. This was a consequence of being with someone who already has someone they're giving their time and attention to and have for years before her. Camille was the mother of his child and nothing could change that.
Bianca still felt she should show her gratitude even if she wasn't going to take him up on the offer. It was only right.
The only reason Bianca had managed to get Kylian's number was because they would message each other their lunch orders when they needed to. They had only messaged once or twice outside of those terms.
She could only imagine how awkward it would be for Camille to stumble upon his phone and find texts with his secretary. What would she say? How would she feel?
But under these circumstances, it seemed appropriate.
B: You didn't have to do that but I really do appreciate it. Thank you for your kindness, I really needed it today.
Bianca hadn't had time to dwindle on the subject after she sent the text because she spent the next hour on the phone with her mother, completely distracted from anything else. As she was hanging up, her phone vibrated.
KM: I wanted to do it. I hope you enjoy your trip and spend time with your family. Bring back another one of your sister's scarves, Ariella spilled red apple sauce all over mine last month.
She laughed and buried the lower half of her face deeper into her pillow, ignoring the tinge of internal guilt at the mention of his daughter.
B: I'm not going, but I'll have her send another one through the mail.
Surprisingly, he messaged back quickly.
KM: Why not? Do you think I haven't noticed you scrolling through your mom's pictures on Facebook when you're supposed to be working? This is all you wanted
B: I want to go more than anything but I'm not taking your money. I'll be able to go in a few months after I finish paying off my engine. Also, how did you get my address?
KM: I definitely broke a few company policies for you, I hope you feel special.
KM: Do you really think I'd offer you money if I didn't mean it? Considerate it a thank-you gift for all the things your family sends. Your grandma's creams cured my cough in one night.
B: I'm not taking your money!! I don't take other people's things that they worked for.
The irony is not lost upon her.
B: And maybe I feel just a littleeeee bit special.
KM: Just think about it, but who knows for your birthday I might buy you a car out of pure spite!
B: Okay, I will. Thank you again, goodnight Mbappé.
KM: Kylian*** and bonne nuit Bianca. When Bianca came into work a few days later, she was surprised to find a receipt for a plane ticket on her desk. It said her full name and the date which was for that very weekend. Bianca instantly called Kylian's landline phone. "You didn't," Bianca said with surprise as she looked down at the paper, not even saying hello. 
He laughed from the other end of the phone. "I did. You wouldn't let me do it any other way," he says like it is nothing.
"Kylian" she whined, tears blurring her vision. 
Bianca was overcome with many emotions, at a loss for words as she shook slightly. "Thank you so much I don't even know what to say"
He let out a soft awww before shaking his head, smiling growing wider. "You deserve it. It's not that big of a deal, I don't know if you know this or not but money isn't exactly a worry for me" His tone was light and teasing.
She told him, nose becoming stuffy. "It is a big deal Kylian! Thank you,  thank you." 
 "Go have fun, Bianca."
And she did.
The trip was for four days meaning she missed only two days of work, the other days being her time off anyways. While in her home country, she took time to decompress. Bianca visited her father's gravesite, finally ate a homecooked meal after months, and read bedtime stories to her nephews. It was everything she needed, and more.
It felt so good to sleep in her old bed, but it came with complicated emotions when she would wake up and her father wouldn't be there reading the morning newspaper at the kitchen table. It felt more empty in the house even though the family had only grown since then.
Coming home offered a unique perspective that she was missing for all those months in Paris. As promised, she brought home a big bag of bread, candy, homemade creams, and knitted things for everyone around the office but most of all Kylian.
Going from somewhere hot and peaceful to the cold bustling Paris was an adjustment. 
On the day Bianca came back into the office it was absolutely pouring outside. Thunder vibrated the building's walls all day, many of the higher-ups deciding just to go home and work from their own houses. 
As the day neared its end she received a text from Kylian. 
Taking public transport in this weather will be horrible. You'll go home drenched like a dog. Let me give you a ride
Bianca instantly replied to the text. You've done enough for me this week, I'll be fine (thank u though).
Kylian sent a thumbs-down reaction to her message. I just wanted an excuse to spend time with you. Humor me a bit Bianca
Oh Kylian will you please drive me home in this pouring rain? I'll wash away in the sewers if you don't rescue me!
He responded with a laughing emoji, and then a red heart. Well since you asked so nicely.
They met inside his car, both making sure to walk out separately at different times so as to not be seen together. "I would ask if you want directions but you already know apparently" Bianca teased as he pressed the push-to-start button. 
Internally she was gawking at his car.All-white leather seats, a grand glass sunroof, and a big touchscreen console. It was stunning. 
"How was your trip?" Kylian asked as he pulled out of his parking spot. 
The radio played quietly in the background. "It was therapeutic. My nephews grew so much that I couldn't believe it. The youngest is talking now and when I left he would barely say mama. I forgot time doesn't slow down for anyone." Bianca explained, eyes trained on the smooth road.
Kylian nodded empathetically. "I understand how you feel. Ariella is growing and learning new things every day. The other day she wrote her first name in crayon. It wasn't the neatest, but she did it all on her own. it's scary but rewarding to watch a baby grow into their own person." Something changed in him when he mentioned his daughter, a brightness in his eyes.
Bianca's lips upturned as she looked at him. "That's a big accomplishment. I'm sure you're a proud papa."
He flashed his white teeth. "The proudest." 
Kylian changed the subject as he put on his turn signal, the mood switching back to casual. "It was boring at the firm without you. We had one of Leo's assistants fill in as the secretary and he didn't laugh once at any of my jokes. Plus, he wasn't wearing a tight skirt to make up for his personality, so it was even worse" He teased, head nodding to her outfit.
"If that's what it takes for you to leave me alone I'll come in with a hazmat suit tomorrow" Bianca giggled, playing along.
The Frenchman shook his head, a smirk still on his lips. "Without me, you would have quit a long time ago."
He wasn't wrong so Bianca decided not to say anything but to just laugh instead.
"Did you bring me back anything? I hope you brought those little jelly-filled cookies"  
Bianca looked out her window, not wanting to make eye contact for what she was going to say. "Actually I brought you a lot of things but I left them in my house. I can bring them to you or..." she trailed off.
"...Or?" Kylian chirped back
She shifted in her seat, crossing her legs together. "Or you can come inside."
He breathed in heavily. "Okay, sure."
They made it to her home and Bianca was almost trembling with anticipation while she turned the key over.  When they stepped inside, they took off their shoes at the door before she led him into her bedroom. 
Kylian wrapped his arms around her as they stood in front of the bed, Bianca's heart melting at the feeling of his soft lips on her own. It was everything she wanted it to be. Kylian grasped at her body as their tongues met, sighing happily into the kiss. They made out for a while, infatuated with each other's mouths.
 "You know I've never seen you naked before" Kylian breathlessly noted after some time. 
Bianca leaned up to peck his lips again, eyes twinkling. "Ahh I'm nervous. Close your eyes and I'll get on the bed."
He chuckled and turned around to take his pants off then button down his shirt."You have no reason to be nervous, you're beautiful" he assured her kindly.
Bianca quickly stripped herself of her work clothes before laying on top of the bed, staring at Kylian's muscular back and legs as he stood in his boxers. "You can look now."
Kylian walked over to the bed; silently gasping as he glanced down at the lilac lace adorning her frame. "What's this?" He asked, running his hands over the material covering her chest. 
He moved back a bit so he could look at her full body, taking her in completely before crawling on top of her.
Bianca's cheeks flushed red as she tried to nuzzle into his neck to hide her embarrassment. His hands pushed her gently back down onto the bed so their eyes could meet. "You got all dolled up for me, ma belle?" His tone was soft, yet in awe.
His gaze felt so caring it made it hard to keep eye contact but yet she wanted to drown in the feeling forever.
This feels different than before.
"I wanted to surprise you," Bianca says honestly, batting her long eyelashes as she maintained deep eye contact.
Kylian leans down to kiss her affectionately, hand caressing her cheek as if she were made of glass. She inhales into the kiss, breathing in Kylian's intoxicatingly enticing cologne. When he pulls away his breathing is heavier. "You are absolutely perfect."
Her stomach flips at his words and she brings him back down for another kiss, this time with more passion in her own way to reciprocate the sentiment. Both of their hearts are pounding as their limbs laced together, truly enjoying the feel of each other.
As the kiss heated up, Kylian brought his hand up to rub against Bianca's thinly clothed nipple earning a soft mewl from her. Fueled by her reaction, he broke the kiss to leave sloppy kisses down her neck and onto her chest, sucking on the spot he knows drives her crazy.
Kylian unclasped her bra with ease before tossing it onto the hardwood floor. He froze in his place to look at her and smiled at her blown-out pupils, raw lips, and erect nipples. "Magnifique" he praised before attaching his mouth onto her breast.
Bianca's back arched up as she ground onto his already rock-solid bulge, holding his head while he suckled onto her left nipple. She moaned loudly from the intense feeling, holding him as tightly as she could while the wet sensation clouded all her senses.
He rolled his tongue around the sensitive nerves, grazing purposefully with his bottom teeth. A string of saliva was drawn out as he pulled away and moved onto the other breast, repeating the process "s-so good" Bianca babbled out, drunk with lust.
Kylian looked up with darkened eyes as he sucked hungrily, pleased with her whines. Bianca was sopping wet, a small pool of her juices spreading onto Kylian's skin. He pulled away from her chest and kissed downwards until he reached the top of her lace underwear.
Without hesitation, he pulled the lace down her legs before spreading them enough to slide himself in between. Bianca almost screamed as Kylian licked at her wet heat, he held his hands firmly at the top of her thighs.
"So wet for me princess" his voice vibrated as he spoke, causing her to grind down further.
He lapped at her slick folds, moaning at the sweet taste. One hand lifted off of her thighs and he pressed two long fingers at her entrance. Kylian sucked at her swollen clit as he inserted his fingers deeply, quickly finding a steady rhythm.
Bianca's eyes rolled back, uncontrollable noises falling from her lips as Kylian's fingers sunk into her, hitting her most sensitive places. Kylian only sucked harder at her clit, causing her thighs to shake around his head.
It took everything within her brain power to be able to form a sentence, even in pieces. "Fuck me, please fuck me, please Kylian" she got out, brain too gone for embarrassment.
Kylian continued his movements, fingers only speeding up as she quivered underneath his tongue. "Please daddy" she begged, feeling too close to her edge.
He outrightly moaned and stood up off of the bed, leaving Bianca's thighs dripping onto the sheets below. Kylian pulled down his boxers to reveal his fully erect length, precum oozing down the tip.
"My needy little whore" he cooed as he brought her naked body to the edge of the bed.
Bianca smiled at the name before sharply inhaling while Kylian lined himself up with her. He stroked at his length before dragging himself down her folds, soaking his tip in the clear liquid. Kylian pressed his dick up against Bianca's clit, teasing her while she begged him for more.
After he got the reaction he wanted he moved down and slowly inserted himself, drooling at the sight of her gripping him tightly. Bianca tapped on his chest, causing him to freeze immediately in his place. "Do you want to wear a condom?" She asked, still half full of him.
He thought about it for a quick second, but his mind already seemed made up. "Do you want me to wear a condom?" He repeated back.
"No, wanna feel you raw."
Kylian smiled sweetly and then pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Likewise, princess."
Bianca lifted her head to watch the slow movements pick back up, sighing in contentment at the feeling and sight of his thick cock stretching her.
He leaned over to kiss her, slipping his tongue in sloppily while he bottomed out fully within her. They made out hotly as Bianca got used to his size. When she started bucking into him, he took that as a sign to start moving again. Slowly, he picked up his pace- groaning raspily as he fucked into her tight hole.
She moved to lift her legs onto his shoulders, crying out in ecstasy when he reached a new level of deep. Kylian's jaw dropped at the new angle as he held on to her tightly, thrusting into her quicker. "Fuck it's b-big" Bianca slurred, eyelids dropping with pleasure.
Kylian pressed his large hand down onto her stomach. "Can you feel it in here, mon bébé?" His tone was low and confident.
Bianca dropped her hand down under his, moaning loudly when she felt a small bulge that popped up in time with his movements. "Y-yes so so deep" she whimpered, tears prickling up at the corners of her eyes from how good it felt.
He was rougher now, completely pulling out before slamming back into her harshly. Kylian gasped out every time his throbbing cock ground against the back of her slick walls. She was loving every moment of it, squeezing around his thick length.
"You're so fucking tight" he panted in between thrusts, his balls twitching at the feeling.
There was a pressure building that she had never felt before. She had had many orgasms in her life, but this was more intense. Bianca began to thrash around on the bed, the pressure overwhelming her in the best way. Kylian groaned as her walls clenched around him even tighter, his orgasm not too far away. "Daddy fuck, I can't."
Even in his lost mind, he understood what was happening so continued at his fast pace, bringing a hand to circle against her clit. Bianca's moans become more frequent and louder as she was at the brink of her edge, the strange pressure growing to be too much.
Kylian leaned down to her ear, his pace keeping at the same rate. "You've been such a good girl for me," he praised, watching her almost unravel underneath him.
"Come all over my cock, princess" he instructed, pressing down harder onto her clit.
Bianca screamed as a clear fluid gushed out of her, wetting Kylian's thighs and lower abs. "Fuck yes, baby. Keep coming all over, pretty girl" Kylian groaned as he fucked her through her orgasm.
Her nails racked down his back as she spasmed around his cock, her world stopping as she squirted all over her bed and lover. Bianca couldn't think about anything other than the dick pounding her, tears pouring down her face at the overwhelming euphoria. "Fuck Kylian" was all she managed to rasp out in between cries.
Kylian kissed her temple softly. "I know, baby. I know"
It took a good minute for the pleasure to finally fade, but her walls still shook around his hard length. Kylian was dangerously close, proud of himself for not coming instantly when he saw Bianca's orgasm.
A wet deeply erotic pop filled the room as Kylian pulled out of her soaking pussy; climbing on the bed and over Bianca with his dick still in his hands.
Bianca stuck her tongue out as Kylian towered over her, cupping his balls while he jerked himself off rapidly. As she went to wrap her mouth around his full length, Kylian held her hair tightly in place so she was hovering over his dick without being on it.
"Wanna give me a facial?" Bianca asked, batting her eyelashes up at him.
Kylian nodded, sweat dripping down from his forehead as he pulled at his cock. Bianca wanted to say whatever she needed to in order to get him there. "Gonna come for me, Daddy? Gonna paint me like the cumslut I am for you?" Bianca purred, sticking out her tongue once again.
He let out something in-between a cry and a grunt as his cock jerked wildly, spurting out his huge sticky load onto her face. Kylian tried to keep his eyes open to watch but couldn't, the pleasure almost bringing him down to the bed fully, knees wobbly.
"Merde" Kylian choked out as he dragged his length over Bianca's semen-stained cheek, using his own cum to jerk off for a little bit longer. After a minute he let out a relaxed breath as his body calmed down.
As soon as Bianca noticed his orgasm had washed away, she mouthed his oversensitive dick to lick up the white residue. Kylian winced loudly but let her clean up the mess, watching as she used her fingers to scoop the rest and swallow it. "You're an angel, Bianca" Kylian breathed out as he leaned down to kiss her, the taste of each other on their lips.
They lazily kissed for a few seconds before Kylian collapsed beside her. He pulled Bianca into his bare chest and let his breathing even out as his eyes closed exhaustedly. "Missed you so much" was the last thing Kylian said before dozing off completely. 
Bianca pressed a long kiss to his chest. "I missed you too" she murmured before falling into her own sleep.
Everything felt so serene, so right.
In times like these, it was easy to forget about the world waiting for them outside. It was just them. No distractions, no work, no worries. They slept peacefully for hours, not waking up for anything as they cradled each other's naked bodies. 
The bright sun has long since set, the tranquil moonlight allowing their fantasy to live out without the light reminding them of their real lives and responsibilities. 
All good things must come to an end at some point.
In the middle of the night, Kylian sat up abruptly, heart pounding in his chest. Bianca stirred next to him, awoken by the sudden movement. His hands scanned across the bed until they reached his phone. 
Kylian squinted at the bright light and tapped at the screen until it unlocked. "Shit.." he sighed as he looked down at the dozens of missed calls and texts.
Bianca didn't even know what to say, mind still foggy from sleep. Even if she hadn't just woken up she's not sure if she could come up with something better. "Is she mad?" she croaked out, voice grainy.
"She's pissed and worried. I should call her to let her know I'm okay" Kylian crawled out of bed and put on his boxers, leaving Bianca cold at the loss of his body warmth. 
Bianca frowned and watched him disappear into her living room- shutting the bedroom door behind him. Her heart swelled as tears welled up in her eyes, listening as Kylian apologized profusely and made up a web of lies about where he was.
It dawned upon her that no matter what moments they shared he wasn't hers. No matter how many times he caressed her and made her feel beautiful he would eventually go back to Camille. Why am I even upset? I'm the bitch here. I'm ruining their relationship not the other way around.
Kylian broke her out of her thoughts as the door creaked open. "I told her I'm just gonna come home from the office in a few hours after the rain eases up." He crawled back into his previous spot, pulling the blanket over him.
He glanced over to find a dazed Bianca staring up at the ceiling. "What's wrong?" He pinched her nose playfully to lighten the mood.
"Nothing, just tired" she lied, eyes now on him.
Kylian opened his arms widely. "Come here then." 
Her worries melted away as she was enveloped in his comforting embrace. Kylian's fingers scratched at her scalp as she drifted off again, Kylian following not too far behind her.
When Bianca woke up from her alarm buzzing loudly she was surprised to find her bed empty. Bianca threw on a robe as she searched for Kylian, but he was nowhere to be found. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a big paper bag on her kitchen counter. 
Bianca opened the bag to find a prepacked breakfast from a restaurant nearby with an old piece of paper on top with scribbled writing on it. Don't hate me, I didn't want to wake you up. I hope you enjoy your breakfast. See you at the office -K.M
She shook her head and pulled out the food, throwing the paper back into the bag. Back to reality.
Later that same day it was business as usual. Bianca giggled to herself all throughout the day, still riding on the high of last night's events. A couple of her coworkers pointed out that she seemed to be giddy today, but Bianca kept her lips sealed shut. 
"Good afternoon" Bianca's greeted as she heard the front door open, her eyes stayed glued to the computer, typing something into the documents.
When her eye's left the screen she was surprised to be met with a familiar face that she didn't want to see, especially not now. Camille stood with her arms crossed, dark circles rimming the bottom of her eyes. "Is Kylian here?" 
Bianca inhaled sharply. "Mr. Mbappé is up inside his office, yes," she confirmed dragging her eyes back onto her computer screen.
Camille headed off to the elevators but turned back on second thought. "Was Kylian really here last night? Did you see him leave with anyone else?" she asked, her tone dripping with worry.
Bianca tried to ignore the hundreds of thoughts coming at her at once, guilt heavy on her conscious. She tried to look casual as she clicked away at her keyboard. "He was here when I left, but that's all I know." 
Once again Camille headed to the elevators, this time not looking back.
As soon as the girl left, Bianca buried her head into her hands and groaned loudly. I'm becoming a horrible person.

The bunny from the Red light District
<--Previous
Part VII
The maid outfit is a success; they all seem to love it not only because they're constantly complimenting him but also because they have started to bring him all kinds of gifts.
Tanjirou appreciates every single one of them, although he thinks they shouldn't spend too much money on him; getting Nezuko and him away from that dangerous neighborhood was more than enough.
But not only they keep doing that, they ask some of the girls who work there as well to tell them everything Tanjirou likes and start bringing it to him as well.
He blushes to the tip of his ears one morning when Kanroji gives him a skirt and stockings because she knows he also likes that type of clothing too.
Tanjirou keeps working though; it relaxes him a lot to do house chores, even if they're constantly insisting he doesn't have to.
Sometimes, when they all are there at the same time, they don't let Tanjirou work and instead do things for him like: make breakfast, brush his hair or even carry him around the estate like they don't want him to move at all.
"Good," Nezuko mumbles, looking very pleased for some reason. "My brother has worked most of his life to the point of exhaustion so he deserves everything he wants now."
"Nezuko!" Tanjirou squeaks, extremely mortified in Shinazugawa's arms. His face is red and he feels so embarrassed for a moment.
"And you better give it to him."
They're going to kick them out.
"We'll do it gladly!" Rengoku says immediately, to Tanjirou's shock.
"Does this mean you approve of us now?" Kocho asks, looking almost hopeful.
"Maybe."
For some reason, this answer makes them very happy and the next thing Tanjirou knows is that he's in Tomioka's arms now as he gently nuzzles his cheek.
Even though he doesn't completely understand, at least he knows they're not going to ask them to leave, so he feels relieved after that.
He also tells them he still wants to help Aoi and the little girls.
The rest of the week he spends time with each of them; there's always at least one in the estate per day, to make sure everyone is safe.
Even though Tanjirou is very happy now, there's a part of him that's constantly afraid of some of Muzan's men finding them after all.
Then, he shakes his head and assures himself that he's not that important for Muzan to look for him so he and Nezuko will probably be fine.
And all thanks to them.
***
Everyone is a little bit too protective of him; Tanjirou has offered the butterfly girls to keep them company when they go for errands to the small town, but they always refuse. They don't go alone though, some of the people who come to the estate to train or report to the Pillars usually go with them. Tanjirou has noticed that they are carrying weapons with them.
Nezuko is not that excited about being outside yet so when Tanjirou starts telling the hashira he wants to see the town she stays out of it.
They don't agree right away, they try to tell him it's dangerous, even though they're sure no one knows he's there and it seems he's not even looking for him at the moment.
Of course Tanjirou doesn't want to go against their rules because they have been nothing but kind to them so he doesn't mention it again. However, he still wants to go; he's so used to see new people and go outside that the thought of living his life indoors upsets him a little.
But it's okay, he can get over it.
"Keep doing the puppy sad face and they'll fold in less than a day."
"What?" Tanjirou blinks at her in confusion. "I'm not making a puppy face... I'm just–"
"You can't hide it, Tanjirou. You want to go out so bad and it's written all over your face..." Nezuko smiles fondly at him. "It's okay... I also think they're exaggerating a bit... But be careful."
"But Nezuko, I'm not–"
"Fine," Kocho cuts him off, getting closer to the siblings. Nezuko covers her mouth so Kocho can't see her smile, but it's pretty much obvious she's amused "You can go, but one of us will go with you each time."
It seems Nezuko was right after all.
Iguro goes with him and the butterfly girls the first time; Tanjirou is fascinated by all the things people sell in the town. There are people walking around them, busy and in a hurry, glancing from one thing to the next or using the time as an excuse to catch up with their neighbors.
Tanjirou can't stop grinning.
He helps the butterfly girls with the errands while Iguro keeps a close eye on all of them... It reminds him of the security guards and how they kept an eye on the bunny boys and girls at the place he used to work at.
Which is ridiculous, because the people in the town seem friendly and kind. There's nothing Iguro has to worry about.
"Look at that... That's a pretty necklace!" Tanjirou comments to the little girls who giggle at something behind him.
"Here, you can keep it," the girl behind the booth hands it to him immediately.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to buy–"
"It's okay, it's a gift!" She assures him, cheeks turning slightly pink as soon as she says it.
"I can't take it, I mean it's really beautiful but–"
"Please... It's a pretty necklace for a pretty boy."
This time it's Tanjirou's turn to blush, he looks at the necklace with the tiny Sun and he thinks it's just too pretty for him.
He's about to thank her when he looks up, only to see her batting her eyelashes at him. Then, he hears a very loud hiss and thinks Kaburamaru is angry, but realizes that the one hissing is Iguro actually.
"There's no need for you to give him anything. I can pay for it," he narrows his eyes and this time Kaburamaru does hiss at the girl just after Iguro puts a lot of money over the girl's booth.
"Thanks anyway!" Tanjirou smiles at her because he doesn't want her to feel bad about it. He doesn't approve of Iguro's rude tone, but he's glad he gave her money for the necklace.
When they're back at the estate, Rengoku and Uzui are already there and look in confusion as the girls start giggling and looking for Nezuko to tell her what happened while Iguro keeps glaring at the necklace Tanjirou is now wearing.
"What happened?" Rengoku asks, looking a little bit worried.
"A few of us should go with Tanjirou to the town from now on," Iguro says, confusing the other two even more.
"Why?" Uzui says, getting desperate and irritated. "Are the people there dangerous?"
"On the contrary... They're TOO FRIENDLY!"
Tanjirou honestly doesn't see a problem with that, he still doesn't know why Iguro is so upset over a gift.
They give him gifts all the time.

Can you……can you please tell me about the horse game? I want you to absolutely go ham on this one. Lay it all out for me.
Oh boy anon lemme tell ya
This game, horse life on Roblox, is nutty
Not only is there a dysfunctional economy but there's also genetics in this game which can change the likelyhood of certain mutations being carried to the offspring, and there are folks who spend hours breeding horses to get a horse with a very specific mutation/color/etc (or all of the above)
Rn there's "glow" horses which look like they took a vacation to a nuclear power plant and went into the glow stick hot tub, and they're priced at 450k-600k which is AVERAGE
10k for a horse is like pennies
The economy is terrible because most of the time these mutations are only acquired through boss fights, usually tier 3 bosses, and you gotta donate a hefty amount of horses to the boss in order to even get a chance to get these glowing freaks
Plus waiting for the foal to be born can take up to 18 real life hours (or if you do what I do,which is spend two hours gathering as many harvestables as possible then feeding it all at once to my horses to make the time go from 18 hours to 2)
God help you if you want to pass down the wing mutation, I kept breeding my winged horse for three days and only got one foal that carried the gene
Best way to make money in the game is to buy a shit ton of woven lassos, catch as many horses as you can hold, sacrifice all of them to the boss, then use the lassos you earn from the rewards to catch more expensive horses
Equuis horses earn you nothing don't bother with them
Bihorses are midrange
Perytons are great for earning, selling them normally is around $200+ a pery
Unicorns are average, I typically sell em for $200 but not much more
Faes are bastards and hard to catch, but worth a lot if you breed them and sell them on the player market
Gargoyles are okay, but hard to come by
Kelpies can be bred for crazy colors and are really popular in the player market
Pink horses used to sell like hot cakes but now don't, ig people got bored of them
Glow horses may sell for alot but nobody gives a fuck about glow perytons, I've been trying to sell two glow perys for days, went from 10k to dropping it to 5k just to get rid of them and not a single buyer
The reason behind that is because it's so easy to breed the glow mutation with them, so they kinda became overpopulated
Though if they have Sakura wings, they sell for a LOT, 20k at least

Hi friend :) rewatching Father Of the bob and it made me wonder about the kids' and Big Bob's relationship. Do you got any headcanons and the like about that? (Sorry if you've already talked about it)
I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT BIG BOB AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE KIDS i have peppered them throughout my posts and fanfics but i will expand on them a bit here >:)
i don't think bob ever went fully no contact with big bob but there was definitely a decade or two where they didn't live together and almost Never spoke except for big bob occasionally calling him to say happy birthday or whatever. when tina was born I think bob realized that he did want his dad to be in his kids lives in some way (yes they had linda's parents as their other set of grandparents but even back then i think bob KNEW they were shitty people and would be bad gransparents) he wanted them to have a good grandpa so he kinda introduced him into the kids lives
big bob was definitely nervous about being around these small and easily influenced humans even if he didn't outwardly express that. tina was the sweetest little baby so getting along w/ her was easy but gene and louise were definitely more stressful. and bcuz big bob was still busy with work he barely ever saw them anyway. but he did TRY to be a good grandpa by sending them birthday & christmas presents and giving them money every time they visited. trying to be a grandpa in the only way he knew how :(
could explore in another post how al and gloria are the WORST grandparents and how it's strongly implied that tina gene and louise don't actually like them (if you compare how they interact with linda's parents vs big bob its clear that they are tolerating al and gloria at most while they genuinely look forward to spending time with big bob and WANT to see him. can't even say it's because of bob influencing them to dislike linda's parents bcuz he openly hates his dad too lmao) but in comparison to them big bob really does correct so many of the mistakes he made w/ bob when it comes to his grandkids (to quote alice talking about gertie "she's a better grandmother than a mother you gotta trust me")
he's physically affectionate with them and he spoils them!!! he actually pays attention to their individual interests (watching gene's music performance and looking at louise's display of burobu cards, and seemingly getting her gifts specifically related to her interest in them for her birthday and christmas) and talks to them. compare that with al and gloria who literally got the kids a regifted book about staying active in retirement for christmas one year (with a whole chapter about sex with Actual pictures and examples which is fucked up) they're literally the worst ugh
and big bob's efforts with the kids seem to pay off bcuz they look forward to spending time with him :) they're always excited and I genuinely think it isn't only because he gives them money when they see him. they just like spending time with him!! "He's a good grandpa" and he bakes them cookies and worries about them and their futures <3 THEY'RE THE REASON HE BELIEVES THAT THE WORLD WILL BE OKAY. HE THINKS THEY'LL BE ABLE TO FIX THINGS?????
Tumblr media
anyway some specific headcanons about his dynamics with each of the kids:
he definitely gets along the most easily with tina. they're similar people in the way that bob and tina are similar (except that tina is more positive than either of them lol) and they enjoy doing more lowkey activities together compared to louise or gene. they might enjoy baking cookies or doing puzzles together :) definitely a good thing that she was his first grandchild bcuz she was always kind and quiet and easy to get along with and it made him more confident in his abilities. Whenever he sees a horse themed item at a thrift store or whatever he buys it and gives it to tina the next time she visits!! that's how she got quite a few of her porcelain horses when she was younger (even if maybe decorative porcelain horses were not the best idea ever for a seven year old tina took very good care of them u_u gene and louise not so much. rip)
gene is probably the grandchild that he finds it the hardest to relate to just because they're such DIFFERENT people. gene is so effeminate and unashamed of himself and his emotions which is pretty much the opposite of how big bob was taught to be as a kid and how he raised bob. he never had daughters so its easier for him to relate to tina and louise bcuz they're almost like a blank slate?? he sees so much of what he did wrong with parenting bob when it comes to gene :( But they eventually find some common ground with gene's love of music and performing. big bob will tell gene about his favorite songs and records from when he was younger & he'll listen to all of gene's performances when he visits
louise is the most.... complicated for big bob? she reminds him SO MUCH of lily in everything from her personality to her pink hat. it definitely took him a few years to get over that and begin to see louise as her own person and stop projecting that trauma onto her (not intentionally but its just hard when you lose someone and then suddenly they're There again and they're your grandaughter) luckily louise is easy to love and her bold personality makes herself VERY known. he could not ignore her. he loves how spunky she is and how unashamed she is of herself (all his grandkids really) and he definitely thinks she's gonna grow up to do something great in the world. they don't have that much to bond over tbh he just let's louise take the lead and he does whatever she wants him to do. he just likes spending time with his granddaughter <3
definitely think that the kids have started seeing big bob more since his relationship with bob has been repaired a bit so i can imagine that connection will only grow stronger!!!!

I'm so in love with the idea of thunder god tribe being like lil triplets for Laxus, and Laxus is like "no I can't do reckless shit no more, I have my kids to worry about", people are like "you have kids???", Laxus: "yeah", and kids are just three grown-ups looking at Laxus with heart-shaped eyes, and then he's like "okay, I need to go take care of them"
Freed is the oldest one, repeating after him, following his steps, learning and growing, best student, his pride.
Bickslow is next, lil dumb (no, he's actually a secret genius), lil crazy, lil reckless, in short - middle child, circus on feet, but he's Laxus' joy.
And Evergreen as youngest one, pretty and pretty independent, fairy with attitude, she may seem giddy, but she's very smart and cunning; they say if you look at Evergreen for a long time, you can see Laxus.
And it's so-so cute, cuz this kittens are his family, part of his life, and I love it so much, cuz let's be honest with eachother, Laxus is a big softie, and he really need someone to protect, so even if he knows for sure that Freed, Ever and Bickslow are more than capable to protect themselves, that doesn't mean he's not worrying about them. He does. Sometimes a lot. 'They don't need someone to protect them, they're strong,' he says, and then Mirajane cas clearly see that he just can't sit on that chair calmly. She wants to say how cute he is like that, but she bites her inner cheek instead, to not to scare that...openness he's showing her. And it's absolutely obvious that he's showing it, on purpose, he allows himself to be like this, because Mira knows - Laxus can hide really well when he wants to. So she's just glad he trusts her enough to show his true feelings for the raijinshuu.
Tumblr media
He'd be a good father, she thinks suddenly, and then blush appears on her face and she hurries to hide it, going to the basement for *choose the reason* while Laxus stares after her with an questioningly raised eyebrow, until his own blush shows on his cheeks. He probably looked stupid...
Even though Laxus doesn't usually care what other people think of him personally, for some reason he doesn't want to look stupid in front of her.
Sheesh.
P.s. inspired by this, look at them. Look at them. He lllooovvvvessssss herrrr (I'm not talking about romantic love here), HE LOVES HER, THAT'S WHY HE CAN BE LIKE THAT WITH HER, AND EVER KNOWS HIM WELL ENOUGH, LOOK. COME THE FUCK ON. THEY'RE FAMILY. I'M DEAD.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ever but like that 'annoying' lil 'girly girl' sis who can poke you just because she can, and I think if she really was his lil sis, she would simply come up to him, coquettishly extend her hand, and he'd give her money without questions (but with a heavy sigh). And Bickslow'd be like 'wow, can I have some too???', and Laxus to him with straight face, blinking: 'No.' Freed, trying his luck, quietly: "...can I?". Laxus would asked how much and would give him the requested amount, and Bickslow would explode at how terribly unfair this is!!! And Laxus'd give him an hour and a half lecture about how Freed spends money on books and stuff for self development, and Bickslow, on the contrary, always buys all sorts of crap.
"Why then are you giving money to Ever, huh?!" He rightly grumbles, frowning comically, almost stomping his foot. "She buys all sorts of crap too!"
Laxus looks him straight in the eyes. Blinks twice. And, raising his mug of beer, explains:
"I just like her more than you."
Bickslow eventually explodes, making angry noises, and Mirajane, nearby watching this scene, cannot help but giggle at how Laxus skillfully hides his grin behind his mug.
Tumblr media
Btw follow me for more Raijinshuu and Miraxus stuff, I just wanna talk about them, seriously:'))

Thank you and love you 🥰
Warnings: usual hnl violence
Tumblr media
• I know he definitely gives off a maniac vibe but he is only like that in fights.
•  I know he gives a cheater vibe too
•  I'm sure he looks like a playboy with his demeanor, looks and cocky attitude.
•  A womanizer and flirtatious person can easily flirt with anyone but I think if he's in a relationship he'll stay away from such things.
•  So he's just flirting with you and that's just how he is towards you
•  I don't think he will fall in love with someone easily.Or not someone who wants to be in a serious relationship.
•  But when he falls in love, his whole world will become only you.
•  He may like someone who is shy but will be more attracted to someone who is rebellious and uninterested
•  He'll even definitely enjoy the little teasing and bickering
•  He will do anything to get the attention of someone he likes.
•  It's okay for him to fight dirty and he's someone who will do anything to protect you.
•  "I'll kill you if you touch her" type of boyfriend
•  He's fun, that's obvious. He wants to make sure that you will never be bored with him.  It's also important for you to be someone who likes to have fun.
•  It doesn't matter if you cant fight or defend yourself. He is always there to protect you.
•  Too girly or tomboy ?  No problem for him.  He doesn't care about things like that if he is interested in you. 
• But he'll be happier if he gets response when he flirts with you.
•  'Enemies to lovers' may be the love that suits him best
•  I think he can be easily impressed by someone by the enemy side
•  Someone who is cool when they like someone, he will not get excited easily.
•  He knows that he is handsome and is not afraid to use it.  His confident demeanor can be frustrating sometimes
•  I think he's a surprisingly good listener. His reckless demeanor is not for you.He will listen to you, even if he can't find a solution, he will make you feel good by kissing or hugging you.
•  PHYSICAL TOUCH 🤩
•  Long and passionate kisses, someone who can easily increase the tension between you
•  He can be childish at times but not too much. He is not afraid to be himself next to his lover. But you'd never see him like that with another person
•  He doesn't trust many people.You may be the only person he trusts in his life other than Gandhi.
•  Cliché but romantic
•  Heart shaped cakes, flowers, a small flower necklace or cute hairties...
•  Your hairtie or the necklace you bought for him... they are always with him. 
• He can kill anyone who touches them.Really.
•  He doesn't know anything about taking care of sick people, so he will definitely panic.
• You will understand even if he doesn't want to show it, so you may need to calm him down first
•  I don't think he can cook but he makes me think he has no problem with money.  That's why I think he'll often buy food and come to you
•  The cake you made for him, the little gift you bought, or the smallest thing that reminds him of you... I'm sure they're all the reason for his beautiful smile.
•  I think he likes to sleep. He's quite energetic, but he loves daytime naps. 
• He likes to sleep on your knees at school or in a park
•  Jealous.Definitely jealous and overprotective.That's why I'm sure you'll argue sometimes.
•  He prefers expensive gifts on special days and with a nice dinner.Quality time is very important to him.
•  He's not easily injured.But if he gets hurt, I don't think he'd want to scare you. 
• So if his face is really bad, he will lie and cancel your date
•  He has a lot of enemies, so I don't think he would want anyone to know you except Gandhi.
•  But he still spends most of his time with you
•  He is not very knowledgeable about periods, he learns it all with you.
•  He'll be pretty panicked when he sees blood on your skirt, but when he realizes what it is, he'll be very shy to tell you. 
• He'll take off his jacket and wrap it around your waist and walk home with you
•  He's not very tall so he likes to bury his head in your neck when he hugs you
•  He's pretty proud, I don't think he'll cry easily. He doesn't want you to see his face when he's crying.
•  He absolutely loves the adrenaline, someone who can fight someone just because he's bored. 
• But I think he'll be more careful after you
•  He's not as bad as people think, and he'll prove it to you every day.

It's been a while since I've seen something in a movie or show that feels so egregiously stupid that it actually bothers me, but then I watched Dark Matter on Apple TV, and ... oh boy. Spoilers follow. I have not read the book it's based on, and haven't finished the show.
The basic premise is that there's a way to travel between worlds by injecting a drug and closing yourself in a specially made metal box, which puts you in a state of superposition and then allows you a long tunnel of doorways into other worlds. The doorways respond to thoughts and emotions, but if you're good enough, and know this secret, you can recognize a precise world. Quantum physics does not work like this, but whatever, I will accept this as part of the Rules of the Show.
So our protagonist gets kidnapped by our antagonist, who is an alternate universe version of him. He eventually realizes he's in another universe and escapes into the box, leaving him trying to get back to his original world, Sliders style. This, too, is something that I'm willing to accept. The show alternates between our antagonist in the home universe and the protagonist trying to find his way home and seeing some of the roads not taken (actually mostly dystopias).
The first time I thought "wow, this show is actually stupid" was when the possibility of stealing from other universes was brought up. The antagonist says "you can't rob banks, bills have serial numbers, people would notice". And then we just move on. But what about gold? What about movies, or novels, or patents, or a hundred other things you could take from other worlds? This is just never brought up again.
And okay, I can give this a pass. The book was a thriller and the show is trying to be a character study, and you don't want to spend time on thinking about how to exploit infinitely many other Earths. But why bring it up then? Why this lazy deflection?
The second moment, when I had to accept that the show was simply stupid, was when the protagonist is trying to go home and is checking each world to see whether it's the right one. He goes to his home, sees that it is his home, grabs a knife from the counter, goes upstairs to his wife, and she screams at him because in that world he's in prison and they're divorced (for reasons that really should have been explained, but are not, I'm really not asking for much here, the show is a "path not taken" character study and you're just not going to tell us what the path actually was, come on).
I understand wanting a scene like this in the show. It's dramatic, it's thrilling, we're not sure it's the right universe, it's a twist ... but it's dumb. Why is our protagonist not using the internet to check these things? He's a college professor, can't he at least double-check that he's on the faculty page or whatever? Doesn't a search for his name or his wife's name instantly give him 99% of the information he needs? He doesn't have a phone, okay, whatever, he can still go to a public library or internet cafe or just pay some rando to use their phone for five minutes. This is leaving aside the fact that the show has no sense of travel times, and floats merrily from location to location, when in reality the trip from the box to his house should be at least thirty minutes, if not more. It's faster to just check the internet for these things. Find some wifi, my dude.
I try to be understanding about these things. You're writing a show, you have a metaphorical budget of time and a literal budget of money. But come on.

i really don't think that anon, whose first language likely isn't english, really needed so much berating for saying "complicit" which yes, was the wrong word, but can we all take a moment and chill?
we have about 200.000 people who are currently being treated like scum wherever they turn just because we're looking for the barest of bare minimum of compassion from someone we've been looking forward to seeing for almost two years, and spent thousands on during difficult financial times because this is the first time she's coming to this part of the world. im glad we're all alive and well, but how about everyone takes a moment to realize they're a lot more likely to hurt someone they might know during this time. and it's just because they're treating a celebrity who's never going to see what people are saying about her online like she's in need of a knight in keyboard armor. she doesn't. she said it herself - sanctimoniously performing soliloquies i'll never see
it's not like she's going to commit a crime by sharing "i love all my fans" with that handwriting font on her story. it's not like isis specifically has it out for swifties. they could have planned it for last night when ed was performing. or next week for coldplay. but no, this event drew in the biggest crowd, which means the most harm potential. even london officials and representatives for wembley talked about it to let fans know what was going to happen. literally not a thing is stopping her
but no, the fault likes with vienna swifties for even getting tickets to the show. for spending money to arrange the one trip we can afford a trip throughout the year to see someone we look up to. for having feelings? and wanting her to acknowledge us? does anyone realize TN didn't even like a single swiftie post that was under the vienna shows? let alone repost outfits like it usually happens. how is that going to harm anyone? i would LOVE to give her and her team a pass for all of this and forget it, but we're all receiving SO MUCH vitriol for just being disappointed!
would you like a list of the things swifties are calling the disappointed fans in vienna? defending taylor staying silent about vienna and saying to be empathetic towards taylor while simultaneously harrassing the fans who were equally if not more affected by the whole situation in the same breath? but all we got was eight different ttpd variants, and photos of her attending a party? im glad she's doing well, i wish she had the tiniest minuscule of compassion for us - which right now no she doesn't because everyone on her team is acting like there was never even supposed to be a single show in vienna. it hurts. like kim and kanye are more important to her and what happened almost a decade ago compared to us. im glad im alive and okay. i wish people didn't keep wishing i had died for feeling disappointed taylor not saying she's also glad. that's all.
first of all, while I can't speak for everyone in the fandom, those I know of are in no way critical of swifties who were attending. I'm sorry if you were made to feel like you were in the wrong in any way, but there's endless empathy and kindness towards everyone involved - even taylor. She literally could have been asked to not speak about it by officials investigating the situation, and bringing any more attention to the attack could potentially attract more harm in turn. I don't know what her reason for not speaking out is, and I'm sorry it's hurtful to vienna swifties that she isn't acknowledging the situation right now

More of my TMA Somewhere Else is Dredge AU. Mostly just random stuff that isn’t enough to make a whole post all on its own. There’s no order to these btw it’s literally just whatever came to mind. (Also Jon uses any/all pronouns because I like projecting)
- Jon takes statements from people in the Dredgeverse. Back before she accepted the Greater Marrow angler job offer these were always encounters with the fears as they slowly sank their teeth into this new world, but once she moved she found that encounters with the fears were much, much rarer. Statements about the sea are still filling, however. Plenty of terror and new information to be found there.
- Jon really likes chatting with the traveling merchant. She’s seen a lot, so it’s a good way for him to learn about this world. He doesn’t want to take a statement from her (he’s sure she has many, but she might be the closest thing he has to a friend here (he doesn’t even know her name) and it would be a massive pain to constantly be going back and fourth between Greater Marrow and the other four regions). Her stories usually just contain enough scraps of information (and sometimes fear) that they can serve as a very light snack.
- Sometimes aberrations are the only things they catch in a day. Sometimes Jon will see dark shapes in the water, to big and malformed to be any of the regular fish native to the area. Sometimes they are out on the water, alone, and something is watching them. He Knows it is not Beholding.
- Jon thinks that the Eye would tell them the quickest route back to where they came from, would tell them exactly how to navigate to avoid monsters and dangerous storms. They know they could leave but they don't think they will. They need to stay. They need to know.
- Jon spends AGES trying to figure out what’s so special about the dark stone pillars. When she realizes that they grant her visions (but only if she’s frightened enough) she decides to visit all of them (at night, when the fog is thick and the fear is strongest).
- After getting a camera from the photographer, Jon tries to get pictures of the monsters. She nearly gets her boat sunk about a hundred times in the process, but finds that the benefits of being able to study them from multiple angles for as long as she wants outweighs the terror and cost of repairs.
- Got a LOT of thoughts about how the collector could play into this tbh. I don’t want to get into specifics for spoiler reasons but I can give some general thoughts:
Dude's just some guy who wanted cursed relics. Met Jon and instantly went: "They look like a magnet for The Horrors" and decided to hire them on the spot.
Dude is Elias. I feel like Elias wouldn't have too much trouble fitting into the role, and I like him well enough to actually want to include him in this au. That being said, I don't know if my grasp of the character is solid enough for me to explore the idea, and I like the idea of Jon, whose only remaining connection is the eldritch fear god they serve, having nobody and nothing in the already lonely and isolating world of Dredge.
It's Dredgeverse Jon. The collector is the Jon who was born here, and whose fascination with the sea and the supernatural drew them to this place, where they're sure all the answers they seek lie waiting, just below the surface of the water. Raises all sorts of questions I don't have answers to about who else has versions of themselves living in the Dredgeverse (if any at all) but also fascinates me.
The collector is any/all of these but also a mouthpiece for the entity that lurks in these waters (whether he knows it or not). I think dipping into these ideas any further would cross into spoiler territory, and while I think knowing the full story can really enhance the experience, I also think it's best played blind the first time. If you have the money to drop on it please do check it out, I promise it's so worth it.
Okay these are all my thoughts (for now). I'm sure I'll have more soon. Jon and Dredge both occupy massive portions of my brain all the time. However for now I need to try and get trophies for every regular fish (and possibly also the abberations, might be fun trying to spend a full in-game year just fishing).
