I GOT TO PET A WILD BUNNY

[omoghouls]

She sbleb

[lunawolfiefoxy]

Silly headcanons for LU boys!

Time: While he claims to fear nothing, if he saw Princess Ruto, he'd be running for the hills shouting "Not today demon!". He calls Malon "wifey" as his main pet name for her, but will also call her "Sweets" "darling" and "love"

Warriors: He's trans. Fight me on that. My guy has gotten the surgeries he can pay for, and he's happy about that. He also grew up in a more dangerous place so he knows a lot more than he lets on. He's an amazing pick-pocket and can, if he wanted to, stab you literally in the back without even Wolfie or Wild know he was there. Sneaky sneaky. His fear, because I thought it was funny and because he doesn't know the difference between a cow and a bull and has seen too many rodeos as a kid, is cows.

Twilight: SUPER delicate. For how strong he is, he has no idea if one hug will squish someone. He also, even though he's been told not to, will juggle the goats. Don't worry, he asks beforehand to make sure the goats will be okay with it. Twilight is also a HUGE Mama's boy. While he loves his father Time *cough cough*, getting validation from MALON sends him to the stars. Lastly, his fear, because as Wolfie he accidentally breathed them in, is ants.

Sky: We all know him for being sweet and kind and a total beast when someone hurts those he loves, but he also, after hurting those people, will apologize for hurting them cause he suddenly feels really guilty about it. Sometimes, if he gets the chance, he'll carve minifigures of the others and hide them in his pouch, when the others finally found out, his pouch was overflowing with animals, but mostly them. Sky would be the type of person to carve the lead in pencils. His fear, scarecrows. Do I need to say more?

Legend: Oh boy, here we go, Legend is autistic. That's the main thing. Anytime his orchard gives a good production of apples, he gets really excited and will word vomit to anyone close by most of the time it's Ravio since they live together and are dating. He may be an awful cook, but his baking skills can challenge even Wild. He mainly bakes apple desserts, but loves to try new recipes, as long as no one gets in his way. He's a big neat freak and feels really embarrassed when someone sees his house as a mess. Being a hoarder and a neat freak is hard though, so he ends up trying to clean everything and it looks barely better then before. His moto, like mine, is: "if I don't do it now, it'll never get done." Which leads him to collapsing from exhaustion because he tries to do everything at once. Legend has bad joints, surprise surprise, so he drinks tea in the morning and at night to counter that. Because of this cute story I read, I think that whenever Legend is around people that he loves, in a home that he feels safe in, because of a side effect of being Bunny, he will fall asleep right then and there. Finally, Legend fears thunderstorm, for obvious reasons, loosing more people he loves, quite obvious, and Cuccos, also obvious.

Hyrule: Also a Mama's boy. Even though he doesn't know his Mama, though he soon will, he likes to hang around Malon when on the farm and ask all the questions he can think of. He can't read, like most believe, or write, but he is surprisingly really good at interpretation and reading lips. His fear, water, poor baby can't swim and has had too much trauma around it.

Wild: This one's a lot too. Wild is also autistic, and a huge introvert. When first introduced to the chain, he either ran away, or would hide in trees most of the time out of fear of them. Wild actually collects makeup, and dresses, and is really good at hair and applying makeup, though he can't do his own hair for squat. Wild has insanely good hearing from "growing up" in the middle of nowhere, and acts animalistic, ex: growling when he feels he's in danger, whimpering when in pain, when he yelps it sounds more like a yip, curling up in a tight ball when he sleeps. Wild, though he hunts a lot, actually really loves animals, and takes care to only hunt the animals if there are too many, or if the animal is sick or injured beyond repair. When he has a memory, his heart stops and he stops breathing, almost like his spirit has been transported to that point in time. Super supporter in anything, unless it's something that's harmful to his family, ex: transphobia, homophobia, making sexual comments to those who are asexual and/or not interested. Is afraid of anything that reminds him of the Shrine of Resurrection.

Four: Any and every time he exits a portal, his mind splits so the colors are there, but Four is physically the only one there. His shadow always seems to move on its own, and he sometimes talks to it when he's feeling down. If he's given a recipe, he's a decent cook, but without one, his food would turn out like Hyrule's. When he's not spilt, his fingernails are painted. Thumb black, pointer green, middle blue, ring violet, pinky red. When at the farm, he snatches all of the groups armor, weapons, and shields and repairs them, otherwise his favorite chore is to tend to the horses. His fear, I think it's obvious, loosing more people he loves.

Wind: The air around him always smells of salt, and he never seems to run out of energy. Though he hates being the youngest of the group, he does take advantage of it to get away with doing stupid things, until he gets hurt, then he gets in trouble. Being youngest, he obviously gets baby, but there are times where he is the one babying one of the others, and those are times he uses to manipulate the others. He is a pirate, pirate equals treasure hunter, also pick-pocket, also knowing every swear in the book, also having a flask of rum. When the others learn of this, Time confiscates his flask until he discovers non-alcoholic stuff that tastes the same, never telling Wind. Wind's fear, Time's disappointed look.

I wrote this in my headcanon age order, do what you wish with this 😈

[springonmytraptillicomeback]

do you have... any more thoughts.

on the. afton rabbit therian thing.

Yes absolutely

sorry if this is becomes like a late reply it might take me a while to type all this out

also I realize that I projected a lot onto him

Things I’ve already mentioned:

He has a foot stomping stim, especially when he’s irritated or annoyed (just like me fr fr)

Above average hearing, able to hear pitches others can’t (autism)

Skittish and jumpy in situations he’s nervous/scared 

Chewing habit. Will chew on just about anything he’s holding + reason for lip biting habit, his lips aren’t dry, just scabbed (JUST like me fr fr)

Quick and lean, with his legs being his strongest

Hyperactive and energetic when not sleep deprived

Starting with liek idk jsut alterhuman things

I wanna talk abt Springbonnie bcuz that’s William’s biggest outlet for whatever alterhuman shit he’s got going one

He’s probably the most comfortable in that suit than he ever is… like, ever. Springbonnie is I dunno how to explain this. Like a part of him. fursona.? yeah

Basically being in a giant rabbit suit makes many good feelings in his brain -> Easter’s his favorite holiday cuz he gets to be in the suit all day 

He was the type of kid that be running around on all fours at recess (I’m projecting I was that kid 😔✊). Totally would’ve been one of the kids that think they’re like a werewolf or something (I was also that kid)

sometimes he genuinely jsut forgets he’s human, also kind of an autistic thing. He’ll be like sitting on a chair reading a book and suddenly remember he’s a human like everyone else he sees in life and not some ambiguous rabbit-like entity

also if he’s ever walking with anyone he actually likes (henry, his kids) and they come across a wild rabbit he will point it out and will not drop it until the other person acknowledges the bunny

Other things he does that r rabbity to me

Likes dry salad, not drenched in ranch or anything, or any other dressing, just leaves and like… whatever else is in salad idk I haven’t had one in years

loves small spaces. If he’s ever overwhelmed at work he just sits under his desk for a few minutes; Henry has “lost” him at least three times to this. He always makes sure when he buys a new bed frame that he can fit under it (I can’t fit under my new one and I am still so upset abt it ☹️)

he’s a very jumpy man if that makes sense. He’s happy or excited he does that lil bouncy thing on his toes. You scared him and he goes ten feet in the air, or he just freezes. (me fr fr)

If his nose is itchy he does that nose scrunching thing

He loves fluffy clothing. Not only is it comfortable but also kinda like fur. Unfortunately there’s really not a lot of fluffy clothing fit for summer, but at least he has his robe

I think he’s also got that leporidae swag. One second he’s like a cute bunny next second he’s got the 1000 yard stare of a hare

He’s probably let random weird shit slip in conversations, like “Life would be easier if I was a bunny”, “Being human is boring”, etc. and Henry just had to get used to it

If he was alive internet-aged (this also applies to glitchtrap-William) he’d totally secretly look at bunny stuff. Like, furries, alter humans, pet regression etc.

Also he collects bunny things, like plushies, figurines, pictures. He has an entire bookcase in his room that just has a bunch of rabbit objects that he’s found while out shopping.  i might end up adding more later idk idk

In the last post, I already mentioned that I'm working on something and I'm now finished - Moonie made sure to call me a lazy butt whenever I wasn't studying, so it took a while haha.

The thing I will present to you now is a Sex ABC which basically means, I looked for a word in a sexual context for every letter of the alphabet for every member. As you may be aware, there are letters where it's easy to find things and some where it's a fucking nightmare, so don't be surprised about some things that sound a bit wild. Also, this was written for non-omegaverse but you can see for some of the members that there are things that refer specifically to g!p or non-g!p.

I will post them one after the other, it might take a few hours/a day in between the posts depending on how much I study :)

JiU's Sex ABC

A - Aftercare (I don’t think anyone is surprised that her aftercare is perfect) B - Boobs (she’s definitely a boobs person and loves to see them in pretty lingerie) C - Creampie (the ultimate proof for her that someone loves her) D - Double penetration (she wants as much love as she can get :)) E - Eager (she’s always eager to please) F - Fairness (one of the most important things to her, at least for others; she herself can be treated a bit unfairly if it makes her partner happy, but she’ll never accept someone else experiencing unfairness) G - Grip (when someone grips her roughly when they fuck her… yes please) H - Hickeys (more proof for how much someone wants or claims her) I - Intimate (slow, passionate, intimate sex is something she really enjoys) J - Joint pleasuring (sharing a dick/pussy between her and another member, sucking, licking, jerking it together fills her with a special kind of happiness) K - Kiss (she loves to kiss and she is a great kisser) L - Lingerie (the cute and pretty kind) M - Massages (giving and receiving) N - Naked (she even said once that she likes walking naked through the dorm) O - Orgy (the more people she can make happy the better) P - Porn (to get inspiration for how she can make everyone feel good) Q - Quiz (she likes to make quizzes from time to time where the winner gets some extra nice sexual attention from her) R - Rope bunny (she just looks so pretty) S - Service top (she wants everyone to feel good 🥺) T - Toy (the others can use her just the way they need it) U - Usable (goes hand in hand with being treated like a toy) V - Voyeurism (no one would’ve guessed it and yet) W - Women (who can blame her, really) X - Sex in bed (her favourite place to fuck) Y - Yoohyeon-sexual (who can blame her - part two) Z - Zoom (aka sex via video call)

× Summary:

"And for someone whose role is also self-preservation, you were reckless. You got yourself hurt for frick's sake! What were you thinking?!?!" Roman exclaimed. "Why are you acting like you care?" Janus snapped back with venom, followed by a small defensive hiss.

"Because I do!"

Janus let out an exasperated sigh as he walked through the woods, trying to find a certain prince. But it wasn't as easy as he thought it would be. Janus found himself in Roman's part of the Imagination, the colorful and vibrant world that Roman often retreated to. He hoped that he would find Roman here, where they could talk and make amends (it was awfully dreadful not apologizing to him when he already did to Virgil). 

But his part of the Imagination wasn't particularly small in any way. The Imagination as a whole (both Roman's and Remus' combined) stretched endlessly into infinity. And unlike Remus' side of the imagination which Janus is very much familiar with, he didn't know much about Roman's side on the other hand. So he'd been wandering for a long time (a whole hour perhaps) with no sign of Roman yet.

Janus was getting frustrated and his feet were starting to hurt after walking for miles endlessly. He rubbed his sore feet and leaned against a nearby tree to catch his breath. Just then, he heard a rustling in the bushes and tensed up, but it turned out to be a squirrel running up the tree he was leaning against.

He let out a sigh of relief before standing up and continuing the search for Roman. His footsteps echoed throughout the forest and made everything seem eerily silent at first, making Janus feel uneasy. Then he heard another rustling noise in a nearby bush and he froze for a second in surprise. It was going to be a harmless little bunny or maybe a cute squirrel, right? He thought. 

Well, he was wrong. 

A wild boar came rushing at Janus from the bush and the deceitful façade quickly ran away from the wild animal as fast as he could but the boar was gaining on him. Janus turned sharply to the left, running in another direction to lose it off his back, and got away. But it seems that Lady Luck was not on his side that moment because as he ran, he tripped on a tree root and tumbled down a small hill. Janus landed with a loud thud at the bottom of the hill, his body sore and bruised from the fall. He let out a pained groan and tried to sit up, but his head was spinning, and his vision was starting to get blurry. He felt a sharp pain in his ankle and realized he had twisted it when he fell.

Janus gritted his teeth as he tried to stand up, but he couldn't put any weight on his injured foot. He was stuck, alone, and injured in the middle of the woods. He wished Roman was here with him to help him.

He tried to sit up a little more and winced from the pain before resting against a log while he continued to whimper in pain to himself. Janus felt tears prick at the corner of his eyes as his ankle throbbed painfully and his breathing became uneven. Just then, he heard a voice calling out his name. "Janus! Janus, where are you?" It was Roman's voice, and Janus felt a wave of relief wash over him. Roman had finally found him.

"There you are! Patton has been pestering me because you've been gone for an hour. What are you even doing here?–" He stopped short upon seeing Janus, who was curled up against a log rather pathetically. His eyebrows furrowed together in confusion and worry as he took the scene in. "Hey, what happened?" He said softly, his confusion further morphing into concern. 

Janus let out a shuddering breath and looked up at him, his eyes red. He tried to smile at him, but it just ended up looking like a grimace instead. "Oh, nothing really, I just… I got lost and tumbled down." He mumbled. He glanced down to examine his ankle and groaned at the sight. 

Roman moved closer and reached out to look at his leg better, but Janus slapped his hand away. "Ssstop!" He snapped, hissing defensively at the princely one. Roman recoiled back, looking surprised at Janus' outburst. Janus sighed and calmed himself down, closing his eyes briefly before looking back at Roman again. "… It doesn't hurt that bad...". Roman's brows furrowed even more, "Are you sure? It looks really swollen–".

"I don't need your help, okay? I can handle myself just fine." Janus huffs as he tries to stand up, Roman offers him a hand but he ignores him and persists. No way was he going to be vulnerable in front of Roman. When he stood up, the pain in his ankle worsened and a sudden shot of sharp pain appeared on his side, causing him to hiss and whimper in pain. Janus placed a hand on where the pain on his side was when he felt something wet and sticky on his palm. He pulled his hand back and saw red. His eyes widened in shock as he stumbled back, a wave of dizziness suddenly hitting him in full force. 

But before he could fall completely to the ground, Roman quickly rushed to him and caught him just in time. "Janus, you're bleeding. We have to get you out of here." He says as carefully lifts Janus off the ground and carries him in a bridal carry. Janus was too weak to process everything else and gave in, nuzzling into Roman's shoulder gratefully before everything turned black, finally losing consciousness. 

---

Janus slowly opened his eyes to see himself lying on a soft bed. He groaned softly as he tried to sit up and rest against the headboard. He looked around, finding himself in an unfamiliar room with a white, red, and gold color scheme. Then he figured he might be in Roman's room. Janus then looked down at himself and noticed that he was half naked causing him to blush in embarrassment. "Where are my clothes?!?" He shrieked and tried to cover himself with a blanket. 

Roman, who was out of his usual princely attire came out of his en suite bathroom and seemed rather annoyed by the other's reaction, and replied, "Geez, calm down. You act like a virgin maiden.". Janus glared at him, "Excuse me for being modest!".

The princely façet scoffed and rolled his eyes, "Stop being dramatic, that's my job. Anyway, I had to discard your clothes because they were torn and covered with blood and mud. So I'm lending you mine for now, don't ruin them." He then held up some new clothes which were a pair of sweatpants and a shirt, both in his colors, and tossed it to Janus who clumsily caught it. 

"I also had to patch you up, You got a gash on the side of your stomach and you twisted your ankle. Thank God it isn't that fatal or something." Roman explained as he plopped down on the spot next to Janus. The deceitful façade only nodded his head absent-mindedly as he stared at the bandage on his side and ankle. He was still perplexed as to why Roman (the same person who called him evil and a villain) had... taken care of him. 

Roman spoke up once more, snapping Janus out of his thoughts, and looked at the princely figure before him. "Why on earth were you on my territory of all places, Janus? Don't you know how dangerous it was for you to wander around there?" Roman scolded him with a huff, his tone sounding more stern. Janus rolled his eyes at Roman's scolding, crossing his arms over his chest. 

"Oh yes, I definitely knew that it was dangerous to go there." Janus hisses at Roman before side-eyeing him. "And why do you care if I go there anyway? You don't own the whole Imagination.". Roman raised an eyebrow at Janus' words, " You particularly went into MY side of the Imagination." he retorted. "Now tell me what were YOU doing there, or do I have to make you?". 

"Aw, do you think I'm going to be scared by your little threat, dear prince?" Janus cooed sarcastically, but his words didn't seem to faze Roman at all. In fact, he narrowed his eyes at him and stared daggers at him for a moment. "What are you going to do? Kick me out?" Janus challenged him, his lips curling into a smirk. 

Roman stared at him for a moment, he was so close to retorting back to Janus again but he (surprisingly) controlled himself. No, he was not going to deal and fight with a bratty and sassy Janus right now. He had plenty of things to do than argue with this sly snake. He took a deep breath before standing up from the bed, confusing the other with his actions. "Y'know what? If you aren't going to tell me, fine, then don't. I have better things to do right now than to argue with you.".

Roman stated before walking towards his desk that was situated across the room, Janus looked at him with confusion, totally not expecting this. "Put those clothes on if you don't want to get sick but suit yourself if you don't want to cooperate," Roman said before sitting down on his chair and opening his laptop. 

Janus narrowed his eyes and stared at Roman for a moment in silence before rolling his eyes. He glances at the clothes Roman had tossed at him earlier, tempting whether or not he should comply with the other's demand. And also, he didn't want to stay half-naked in front of Roman either. He sighs heavily, grabbing the shirt and slipping it on over his head. It was rather big on him, Roman had a slightly big and taller physique than him after all (he wouldn't want to admit it but the shirt was quite comfy honestly). Janus then grabbed the pants next, carefully putting them on, hissing slightly when he felt his ankle throb and ache.

"Do you need help?"

Janus stopped trying to put on the pants and looked up at Roman's suggestion, he glanced at the princely man who had his back facing Janus while he was preoccupied with whatever he was working on. He thought for a few moments before shaking his head ‘No’, he can manage this by himself just fine. "No thank you, I'm doing quite fine. I don't need your help.". Roman glanced at him for a moment then shrugged, "Alright then.". And with that, Roman turned back to his laptop and continued working. 

"Why are you helping your so-called enemy anyway? Aren't you supposed to be pleased with my suffering?" Janus queries with a raised brow as he puts on the sweatpants, his nose scrunching when he realizes the pants are too long and loose for his liking. 

Roman stopped typing on his laptop and immediately spun his chair so he was now facing Janus, staring at him dead in the eyes (surprising Janus again). “You may be my enemy, Janus, but never have I thought of leaving you to suffer in the woods while you’re bleeding out— well, I have sorta thought about it— but let's not talk about that.” He stated simply. “I’m not a monster, Janus.” He added with a stern voice. 

“Why did you even bother to help me, Roman? Are you still trying to prove being everyone’s hero? I could’ve managed by myself.” Janus hissed as he crossed his arms, now facing Roman. “I didn’t need your help by the way.”.

“Didn't you listen?" Roman sighed exasperatedly, running his finger through his hair. "Despite our differences and conflicts, I don't want to see any of us suffer needlessly, not even my so-called enemy.". He then pointed at Janus, who merely raised an eyebrow in response, "You. You play an important role in Thomas' life, all of us do, as what you have said. I'm hesitant to admit it but... I- we don't want to lose someone like you.". 

"And for someone whose role is also self-preservation, you were reckless. You got yourself hurt for frick's sake! What were you thinking?!?!" Roman exclaimed. "Why are you acting like you care?" Janus snapped back with venom, followed by a small defensive hiss. "Because I do!" Roman growled, glaring at him as he shot up from his seat. 

Silence filled the room after that, neither of them saying anything nor making eye contact with each other. The tension between them was thick, almost suffocating. Janus kept looking at his lap, unsure of what to say or how to react to Roman's words. 

"I went to the Imagination to look for you, because I wanted to apologize," Janus said, finally cutting through the silence. He then glanced at Roman, "To say sorry to you.". Roman looked back at him, both confused and surprised. His eyebrows furrowed together, hesitating if he should believe the words that spilled from Janus' mouth. "Apologize?".

Janus took a deep breath before taking off his gloves at setting them aside. He then spoke up, "I know that you wouldn't be able to forgive me but I'm sorry. I'm sorry that... that I hurt you and manipulated you. Such a simple apology cannot fix the harm done but I'm willing to make it up to you.". He paused, gazing down at his bare, gloveless hands. 

Roman remained silent with his eyes trained on Janus only. He was trying to process what Janus had told him. That he was apologizing. To him. He was speechless. After a while, he cleared his throat and asked quietly. "Why?".

Janus looked up to meet Roman's gaze, his brows furrowing together, not understanding his question. "W-what do you mean by that?..." he queries, stammering with his words slightly. 

"Why now? Why are you apologizing to me just now, Janus?" Roman asked, there's a slight pain behind his voice. Hurt and betrayal in his tone. But he tried not to show it on his face. Despite the pain Janus had caused him, he still loved him. His eyes never leave Janus as he waits for his response. 

Janus couldn't help but fiddle with his hands as he thought of a reply to Roman's difficult question and averted his eyes away from the creative facet for a moment. "I don't know... I only wanted to apologize. I had to apologize to you...". He muttered the last part softly under his breath. "...I suppose I am sorry. Though I don't expect you to forgive me.". 

Roman clicked his tongue as he clenched his fists on his sides, his emotions fighting against each other within him. "You're not answering my questions right. Why, Janus? Why would you bother to apologize just now?!". His voice cracked, tears threatening to form as he fought hard to keep his voice level. He could've sworn he saw Janus flinch when he raised his voice but maybe he was imagining it. 

"Because if I don't apologize to you then it's no use. I have already apologized to Virgil and fixed our relationship, but I still owe you an apology. I can't change the past anymore and... and it has to be fixed somehow, I have to fix this somehow... " Janus replied frustratedly as he rambled on. "I made mistakes, and I have underestimated and used you for my gain. I only wanted to be heard and acknowledged, and you did listen and believe me,".

"Yet I was too much of a fool and betrayed your trust, I took advantage of your naivety. I hurt you, Rom—"

"Enough..."

Roman cut him off immediately, stopping Janus mid-sentence. "I heard enough, Janus," he says, avoiding Janus' gaze as he takes a deep breath. He looks back up after a few moments, locking their gazes together again, his gaze softening. “I loved you, Janus...”. His voice cracks, causing him to take another deep breath. “And I still do.”.

Janus froze and stared at Roman, his breath hitched in his throat at those words. “Y...you do...?” he croaked out, unable to form coherent sentences as he looked up at Roman with wide eyes. His lips parted as he tried to speak but no sound came out. He swallowed dryly and blinked slowly a few times. "You really mean that...?" he whispered out.

"Fuck, do I have to repeat it? Yes, Janus! Yes, I fucking love you so much that I will let you fool me over and over again because I'm nothing but a complete idiot when it comes to you."

Roman exclaimed as tears pricked at the corner of his eyes, he bit his lip to stop himself from letting any more tears fall from his face, but they had already rolled down his cheeks, leaving a wet trail on his tanned skin. 

Janus was quiet at first, trying to process what he just heard. He blinked several times, his heart beating fast in his chest. He didn't know what to do or what to say, he was left speechless by Roman's confession. Roman truly did love him... just as much as he did. Without any thought, he got up from the bed despite the aching feel on his ankle and waist before throwing himself onto Roman. 

Roman caught him quickly and was about to question the other's reckless behavior when Janus suddenly pulled Roman closer and pressed their lips together in a soft and passionate kiss. The creative facet could only stare at the other with utter shock, frozen on the spot as he tried to comprehend what was happening. Then, as realization dawned on him, he closed his eyes and kissed back, his arms wrapping themselves around Janus' waist carefully as support. 

Janus gripped onto Roman as if his life depended on him. Oh how foolish he was, oh so foolishly in love with the man he had hurt. How could be so stupid not to realize his feelings for him sooner?! Janus hadn't realized that tears already spilled out of his eyes as he kissed Roman desperately, so so desperately. His heart had yearned for him for a long while now, but he simply refused to acknowledge it before. Now, it feels like everything makes sense. 

A few minutes had passed and both of them eventually pulled away from each other, their eyes locked as they took deep breaths, both panting from the kiss. Once the air was clear between the two once more, Janus spoke up again. "Roman...I love you. I love you." He stated, cupping Roman's face and stroking his thumbs across his cheekbones gently, wiping the fallen tears from Roman's cheeks.

Roman stared at him, eyes blown wide. He didn't know if he should believe Janus, what if this was yet another lie? His heart cannot handle any more pain anymore. But Janus seemed genuine with his words... what if he did love Roman as much as he did? His mouth opened and closed a couple of times before finally speaking up, his voice shaking with emotion. “...I don't know anymore, Janus. I don't know if I should believe you or not.".

He mutters as he leans down and presses his forehead against Janus'. "But I want to trust you... I want to give you another chance. One more chance. Promise me that— that we will make this work, for once. For the both of us.". Roman pulled away slightly, cupping Janus' cheeks in his hands, staring at him with pleading and desperate eyes. 

Janus grabbed onto Roman's wrists gently as he stared back at him, a small smile forming on his lips as he leaned onto Roman's touch. "I don't believe in promises but I want to try. I want to make this whole thing between us work.". He admits, tilting his head up towards Roman. "For the both of us.".

Lmk if I missed smth!😜

As soon as October hit the calendar, your friends couldn’t keep their mouths shut about Halloween. You were everything but excited for the cold and windy month with the annoying pumpkins on everyones front porch. Especially with all these college parties going on with the drunk teenagers grinding on you.

“Sooo what should we dress up as??” Your dearest college roommate asked excitedly. “Wait no no no. I’m not dressing up as anything. This month is gonna be horrible enough as it is, I don’t need a costume for it.” You grumped. “Oh come onnn Enikkoru!!! You’re always like this. You just need a good halloween party to get rid of all this stress!” Your other friend Lisa added. “Yes!! And gues what.. I heard Sunoo will be there.” Hannah whispered and winked at you. “Ugh fine. I guess I don’t have anything better to do anyways.” You finally gave in. “Ughh finally thank you!!! And now, what do we dress up as?” The question came up again. You certainly didn’t want to dress up as anything cringe since you knew there would be cute guys there. You’re feeling sick of the thought of dressing up as cartoon character. “Um guys we could be like disney princesses maybe?? But like in a sexy way?” Somi asked. “Ew there is no way!! I don’t want to embarrass myself.” You said frowning. “Okay chill.” She rolled her eyes at you. “I have to go anyways. Text me if y’all find something cool.” “Ok will do.” Then you quickly slip your shoes on your feet and head to the door.

Later that night.

You were peacefully scrolling on your phone in your bed, cuddling with your plushies under your giant blanket like every other night. Somi was out tonight, obviously. She barely stays here anymore since she got a boyfriend. Anyways, you decided to look for halloween costume ideas since you had nothing better to do. You opened Pinterest hoping to find something cool you could wear to the party with your friends. You found nothing to your liking. How surprising! So you kept scrolling..scrolling. Scrolling. Then you came across Regina George from the movie “Mean Girls” dressed up as a bunny. So revealing, you thought. You imagined how guys would stare at you in that costume. A tear ran down you thigh as you thought about Sunoo complimenting you. Okay you had to do something? You went to the group chat.

You: girls i found smth. *picture*

Bangh💥: oh my. I LOVE THSISSS

jeon somi💋: girlllll. could use a buttplug for the tail😜

You: very funny haha

Ladyboy🐞: love the costume nikoy!!!! sunoo would totally eat you up

You: thanks lisa😘😘

You: ok we should go shopping for this tmrw???

Jeon somi💋: ill get the plugs

You: we dont need plugs thank you.

Ladyboy🐞: actually…

Bangh💥: i could use one tho..

You: no way you guys r trippin fr😂😂👎

Before the party

“Dawg we look hawt” said Hannah. “Your ass soo good in this even your brudda would fuck you😂😂” Lisa joked. “It’s prob because of the plugs” added Somi. “what the fuck” you cursed confused. Your friends were acting up real bad. “Y’all let’s just go i’m getting sick of you guys.” You said. “Nah not until you put that plug in.” Somi nagged. You put your bunny ears up in your hair real quick then you ran out the door as fast as you could. This party is making your friends go wild. You were afraid you’d end up like this too.

Your friends finally caught up with you and you guys walked in the house. Almost immediately, your friends ran off to find their guy, leaving you all alone once again. Great, you thought. You went over to the bar to grab a drink.. alone. Until Sunghoon came up to you. “Hi enikkoru.. looking….good. Nice costume.” He said while eyeing you up and down, stripping you with his hungry gaze. “Oh t-thanks?? Are you the host?” you muttered. “Oh yeah.. you like? Must be boring here all alone though. Wanna come play spin the bottle with me and the bros??” He shouted, since the music was really loud. Obviously. It was a party what did u expect😂 “Okay sure i guess? Must be better than sitting here drinking alone.” You agreed. “Okay great!” He grabbed you wrist and started dragging you right through the crowd. You held your breath and you didn’t want to inhale the warm and disgusting air other people produced. Then you finally arrived to the basement. You coudl finally breathe. There were some guys and there was Somi making out with his boyfriend. Oh and also some other girls. But one person caught your eye. Sunoo in his vampire costume looking fine af. You rubbed your thighs together in excitement. “Ok just sit somewhere and we’ll start in a minute.” Sunghoon said and walked off. You took you chance and squished between Niki and Sunoo. “Oh hi nikoy you look awesome.” Niki complimented you. “Yea, you look really delicious tonight” Sunoo added. You swore you could feel your pussy throb at their words. “O-oh..thanks. You guys look great too.” You tried to keep your cool but it was so hard. Especially, that more people joined the circle, and you were practically squished between them like a sponge. “Shall we start?” The host asked. Everyone cheered and you quietly nodded yes.

A couple rounds went by, then it was your turn. “Ok spin the bottle enikkoru.” So you spun the bottle. You were so scared that you closed your eyes in fear. The bottle stopped. Everyone cheered loudly. You slowly peeled your eyelids open. Your eyes widened in shock, you were in trouble. Sunoo looked at you and smirked. He patted your thigh and got up. “Come on, we gotta get into the closet, let’s not waste our time.” You quickly got up, your cheeks red and flushed. You put your hand in his as he guided you to the closet. Then they closed it. You had 7 minutes in a dark closet with the boy you were dying to fuck since the beginning of the year.

He grabbed you and caged you between him and the wall. He leaned down to your ear and whispered “you have no idea how long I’ve wanted to to this.. and fuck..this costume” then he smashed his red plush lips against yours hard. Your tongues rhythmically moving against each other, fighting for dominance, which he obviously won. While still kissing hungrily, his hand came down to the black leather bodysuit you were wearing and tucked it to the side down there. He quickly ripped a hole on your white leggings so his hand could get access to your pussy. “so wet for me” he smirked then started rubbing circles on your clit and slipped two fingers inside you fast. “so tight and warm inside” he praised you. He was rough. So rough that you started moaning loudly. He smacked his other hand on your mouth to keep you quiet. “Stay quiet or you’re not getting my dick in your pathetic little hole tonight” he whispered as he continued pumping his fingers inside you in a rapid pace. You tried to tune your moans down but you miserably failed. You whimpered as you felt his fingers scissor. His skilled fingers felt too good inside you. “S-ah-sunoo… s-so g-goood” you whimpered under him. He smirked and reconnected your lips once again. Unfortunately, he foudn you g-spot which made you scream into his mouth. “Right there?” he asked and smirked once again. You physically couldn’t reply but the way you were squirming under him, he knew what you felt. You felt the knot building up inside you. “F-fuck..” you moaned one last time before you came all over his hand. Well, you didn’t just cum. You squirted all over him. You hid your face in embarrassment as you realised what you just did.. “Damn I made you squirt just with my fingers? You’re not even gonna be able to take my dick” he chuckled at you. He quickly licked your arousal off of his fingers while you fixed your bodysuit up. “Time’s up!” Jake said and opened the door before you. Everyone looked at you guys. “Did you have fun??” They asked. “Oh the fun is definitely isn’t over yet” Sunoo answered and wrapped an arm around your waist. “I’m getting tired. We’re going upstairs.” he said. Everyone knew damn well you wouldn’t be sleeping tonight. You waved your goodbyes then you let Sunoo drag you upstairs.

When you got upstairs, he pushed you into Sunghoon’s bedroom and locked the door behind you. He threw you on the bed and pounced on you. He started aggressively kissing you then biting and marking all over your neck. He pushed his groin into you so you could feel how hard he was. You gasped at the feeling and started grinding against him. “S-sunoo ah..” you whimpered while taking all the marks he gave you. “Yes princess?” He asked “i-i need you…p—pleasse” you sobbed and begged for him. He gave you a smug grin and stopped sucking on your skin. He peeled the bodysuit off of you and tore the rest of your leggings. Now you were under him, only left in your panties. He impatiently tore his own shirt off so you could admire his toned chest. You brushed your hand across his stomach. Your eyes trailed down to his thighs, which were begging to escape the tight black pants he was wearing. They were so thick. You’d love to ride them one day. Your thoughts were interrupted by him undoing his belt and pulling his pants down. You saw the huge bulge in his boxers and you got shy. You weren’t sure you could take him. You hid your flushed face behind your hands before he peeled them off your face. “Come on nikoy, don’t be scared now..” he pulled his dick out of his boxers and have himself a few pumps. He was painfully hard and already leaking. “Sorry I got no condoms on me. But I’m willing to pay child support.” he whispered. You were too mesmerised by his beautiful cock to tell him that you’re actually on birth control. He was glad he didn’t have any condoms because he was dying to feel you raw anyways. He aligned himself with your hole and slowly pushed it in. “Oh my… you’re so tight baby..” he groaned. You couldn’t say anything. A tear escaped your eye from the sting but he couldn’t care less tbh. He started moving in a very fast pace without giving you any time to adjust. You were screaming his name. That was all you could do anyway. He leaned down and started devouring and licking your chest. You definitely didn’t need the extra stimulation. You were so overstimulated that you squirted on his cock. He couldn’t take it anymore. You looked so good under him, taking him like a good little kitten. He couldn’t last so he came seconds after you. You felt the warm liquid escaping inside you. He pulled out of you and cuddled you into his chest to calm down. “You did soo good enikkoru..i would love to do this more”….

Blowback

”I’ve enjoyed dope for more than 40 years,“ Oliver Stone says, speaking by phone from his Los Angeles office. “It started in Vietnam, I was a soldier. I showed it in Platoon. Half the platoons were getting high—not in the field, but in the back, and it made that whole experience survivable to a large degree. I don’t think I would have kept my humanity without it. Getting high was an antidote to the madness we were surrounded by. I’m very serious about that. The music and the dope.”

I’m talking to Stone about his latest film, Savages, the story of a couple of high-end hydroponic pot growers—rock stars of the Southern California boutique marijuana scene—who run afoul of a ruthless Mexican cartel angling for a cut of their business. It is, I think, his best movie in years: a ripe, wildly energetic caper—a Stone(r) noir, if you will—that also provides a sharper snapshot of the way we live now than the more overtly topical World Trade Center, W., and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. International diplomacy and the state of the economy are very much on Stone’s mind here too, but the politics are niftily concealed by a vibrant genre-movie surface; striking, color-saturated visuals; and the toned, tanned bodies of a sexy young cast in various states of rest and motion. Think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (a movie Savages directly makes reference to) if Butch, Sundance, and Etta were a full-blown ménage à trois. Think They Live by Night with surfboards and tattoos.

Adapted by Stone, Shane Salerno, and Don Winslow from Winslow’s compulsively readable 2010 novel, Savages follows the perils of Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch), yin-and-yang best buddies who meet cute on the beaches of Laguna and soon go into business together. They use primo seeds ferried back by Navy SEAL Chon from the Afghan war zone to cultivate a highly potent strain of weed whose profits in turn fund the new-agey Ben’s third-world nonprofit. The two friends share home and hearth with the movie’s narrator, O (Blake Lively), a burnt-orange beach bunny who claims to love the two men in her life equally, though perhaps that love is not quite as intense as their own bromance. Then into this progressive love nest comes a missive from the cartel honcho known as Elena “La Reina” (Salma Hayek), who makes Ben and Chon an offer they can’t refuse: join forces with her or else it will be O’s decapitated head they find under their communal sheets.

The cartel in the film behaves like a corporation—Wal-Mart by way of Monsanto—wanting to co-opt not only Ben and Chon’s distribution network, but their seed-growing technology too. And everyone is, literally or figuratively, in bed with everyone—the cartel with American Indian reservations, the DEA (in the person of John Travolta’s deeply compromised agent) with the dealers and the growers alike—leading to a wild, loop-de-loop climax that may leave some wondering if THC has somehow been piped into the cinema.

Savages presents a fascinating cycle of subterranean trade: high-quality Afghan weed makes its way to Southern California as a kind of byproduct of the war over there, and ex-SEALs use their military training and weaponry against the Mexican cartel in a new kind of war zone.

I don’t want to be preachy, but that ties in to my belief that blowback exists in this world. You don’t go fight foreign wars and expect them to stay there. The blowback comes, and not only in the form of Osama bin Laden in 2001. We have so many wounded people from the two Iraqs and Afghanistan, people with diseases and concussions and maimed limbs. There’s tremendous callousness in the country and it destroys us, and in a strange way Don Winslow caught that in his book with this idea of these soldiers becoming active here. In Vietnam we always thought that we’d come back and we’d make a difference here in this country; we’d lead the revolution against Nixon. I love the idea that this kid Chon just takes things in his own fucking hands. He doesn’t go crying to the cops—there’s no cops to cry to. They drive around on bicycles in Laguna. So he gets his RPGs and his IEDs and he fucking does it with real hardcore veterans. I loved that idea of war coming home to roost.

The depiction of the Mexican cartel is unusual in that the characters are quite three-dimensional, particularly Salma Hayek’s Elena, who has a fraught relationship with her twentysomething daughter, and who ends up treating O as a kind of surrogate daughter when she kidnaps her.

We always thought of it that way. We also had scenes with Uma Thurman as the mother of O—they were good scenes that were funny, actually. But with the movie being two hours and 10 minutes now, we were concerned. John Travolta’s character also had a wife, and there was a tender scene between them. And there was a very interesting side story with Lado, Benicio’s character—we had Mia Maestro as his wife, and we see that she is trying to make their children into Californians and the kids disgust him because they don’t have any of the old-fashioned ways that he wants. But we had to let all that go. What I like about the movie is that it has a tension to it, and I think it keeps you going, wanting to know what’s going to happen next, and it doesn’t let up.

The three leads have a terrific chemistry together. They really click in a way that gives the movie a lot of energy. How did you decide on the casting?

Aaron was the first one in. I met him and I just fell for his charm. We met in London and I said, “I don’t know which one you should play, but I want you to do this movie.” He was getting hot, he had done Kick-Ass and I had liked him in that. He was being offered a big role, and it was a big deal for him, but he gave up the [other] movie because he loved this idea so much. Then I saw Taylor in Friday Night Lights and an early version of Battleship and thought he was dead-on for Chon. So that made Aaron Ben. Blake came about after Jennifer Lawrence dropped out to make The Hunger Games. It was a difficult movie because she had Gossip Girl shooting 10 months a year, so she had to fly to New York practically every fucking day. She was working monster hours, as they do on TV. We stayed on schedule, but it was a difficult shoot.

The film feels in some ways like a sibling to Natural Born Killers and U-Turn in its ferocious pacing and the hyperreality of the imagery—the intensity of the sunlight and the bold primary colors.

Let’s put it this way: it was going to be a sun movie, which is to say Mexico, the South. The colors were intended to be primary, and I drove everyone a little bit crazy with that. Early on, I screened Contempt for [cinematographer] Dan Mindel, and I said, “I want these colors.” We had great sun all summer, we were shooting outdoors, we shot with windows, we shot with light, we tried to use as much beach life as we could. At one point, I went out on the set and screamed that I wanted towels, as many bright yellows and blues as possible, to get rid of the weaker colors that were sneaking in. Sometimes set designers want to have that tasteful balance, and I said, “No! We want excess!” Flowers, paintings, everything we could do to get some color in there, including bringing standby painters in and just slapping a wall together if we had to at the last second. My references in this were certainly Contempt, but also Duel in the Sun—I saw that several times when I was young, and I saw it again recently, and it’s just beautifully done. The showdown scene at the end was sort of an homage to that. Also to Leone.

To wit, the movie’s score has a strong spaghetti Western feel to it.

It’s funny you should say that, because I went about 10 rounds on U-Turn with Ennio Morricone. It was the only time I worked with him, and I never worked with someone so difficult in my life. It was a creative collaboration, but I think I’m the only American director who made him return to America a second time—he doesn’t like to travel—because I was unhappy. At one point in our collaboration, I actually showed him a Road Runner cartoon and I said, “This is the type of music I want you to write.” And he looked at me with a cold stare and said, “You want me to write cartoon music?” But if you listen to U-Turn, there’s a lot of boings and bings and bangs.

On Savages, I didn’t really know what the sound should be. There was a guy, Adam Peters, who I’d used on The Untold History of the United States, and he did great work for me. He’s English, so he’s not at all of the Italian style, but he adapted. As with Natural Born Killers and Any Given Sunday, we used a lot of needle drops, a lot of Mexican music. We listened to all the narcocorridos, but we didn’t end up using any of those. We put Brahms in under the sex scene at the very beginning because I wanted the movie to have some tenderness and romance. There has to be that element like in Duel in the Sun where you feel for these people—they’re young, they’re tender, they’re at the mercy of the world, they’re in danger, and they’re in love.

How do you interpret the love triangle at the center of the film? Do Ben and Chon really love each other—as Elena intimates—more than they do O?

I don’t know. I did look at Butch Cassidy before we shot the movie, and it’s interesting, because Katharine Ross is with both men, but it’s so hidden in the movie that you barely notice it. Certainly, Butch Cassidy was considered, even at the time, a bit homoerotic. O has her own journey, too. She lives through this thing and she has to find herself, through this process of looking at death so clearly. She says toward the end: “I don’t think it’s possible for three people to be equally in love.” Which indicates that she’s thought about what Elena says to her in the dinner scene: “Something’s fucked up about your love story, baby.”

What is the current status of your Showtime miniseries, The Untold History of the United States?

It grew out of my desire to leave something behind. I’m aware of what my three children studied in American History and I’m aware of what I studied in American History, and I feel like we were all cheated by the book publishers and by the schools. In my case, it grew into a mythology about the United States that was very dangerous, because among other things I went to Vietnam under the belief that we were fighting the demon enemy: Communism. And what we did in Vietnam was so heinous, so evil, and it bothers me still that it was never apologized for, nothing changed, and we went to more wars. So in 2008, around the time I was doing W., I started this project. It was designed to be 10 chapters about the mythologies of American history, going back to 1945 and the bomb and working our way through to 2012. It’s an upside-down version of American history, which is to say it takes everything you thought you knew about America and questions it. Anyway, it turned into a monstrosity. It went two years over and took a lot of time. Writing history for film is the hardest thing in the world, and I’ve been giving all my free time to it when I haven’t been making other films. It was originally scheduled for May, but when Universal moved Savages to July, we and Showtime decided to push it back to November because we didn’t want to overlap. We’re working like dogs on it as we speak. We keep revising, fact-checking. Things change. It’s a bitch.

Savages ultimately feels like the work of a filmmaker reborn. If you watched it without knowing who directed it, you might think it was the work of a first- or second-timer fresh from film school or music videos, showing us everything he can do, in case he never gets to do it again.

It’s really my third or fourth childhood, because I’ve had these kinds of periods before. Bear in mind that I did Platoon when I was 37. To me, part of me had died in Vietnam, and to finally get a chance to make a movie about Vietnam in 1986 when I was almost 40, I felt like an old man then. I was going back to my 20-year-old self, and being in the jungle with Charlie Sheen and all those young dudes, I was the old guy. Life is like that—you get old, you get young, you get old, you get young. That’s happened to me repeatedly. Natural Born Killers was an enormous explosion of energy at a time when I was getting divorced and my life was falling apart and I was in a very dark place and I just said, “Fuck it.” So the answer is, I felt very old on the movie at times, because it was such hard work, and to get out of your chair for the hundredth time of the day and have to walk over to some young person and talk them through the whole thing again… What am I doing out here in 100-degree heat at Pyramid Lake? But it’s the idea that keeps it alive.

As a director, you sometimes feel like you’re the most loathed person, because you’re telling everyone what to do. And most people in life, myself included, don’t like to be in control all the time. I don’t enjoy it. But once in a while, you have to go out there for 60, 70, 80 days and you’ve got to be in charge and you’ve got to be tough to bring it together, because it’s tremendously logistically complex, and if you have 16 competing visions or even two competing visions, it won’t work. Every time you direct, it’s a tremendous effort. It’s like mounting the D-Day invasion. I’ve made 19 movies and they were 19 wars.

2 + 3 + 17 for the book asks! 📚

2. Did you reread anything? What?

Yes! I reread all three of what I deem my favourite books, which I try and reread once every year or two: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, Nation by Terry Pratchett and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (just finished my reread of Book Thief yesterday, it's been a while since I last reread it so yes it did make me cry). I also reread This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone (which I first read in 2020) and Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier (which I first read last year and is definitely a new fave). Also listened to Re:Dracula which I counted as a Dracula reread.

3. What were your top five books of the year?

Not counting my faves/rereads, up to this point it'd probably be:

1. Babel by R F Kuang (soooooooo freaking good, magic system based on translation which made my little translator brain go brrrrr, translators of colour at Oxford in the Victorian era, pulls no punches on dealing with colonialism and racism and resistance, I adored the four main characters and their relationship and the ending broke my heart and made me cry. Just so fucking good, highly recommend)

2. My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones (Jade Daniels my beloved. These top two are so close but I put Babel slightly higher because I think it's objectively slightly better. But this is the book that truly has my heart. She's obsessed with slashers and her essays about them made me want to watch all the slashers, and she's a mess and thinks her town is gonna be victim to a slasher and whaddya know? Anyway so good I love her, the sequel is also very good and I'm very much looking forward to rereading them next year when the final book in the trilogy comes out)

3. Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt (trans woman and TERF dual POV, the haunted house is an allegory for fascism in Britain, and it's so fucking good. It's also A Lot though so proceed with caution)

4. Nettleblack by Nat Reeve (the MC in this is sooooo cute and so fucking anxious god bless. Vaguely Victorian era small town, youngest sister in the Nettleblack household runs away because she/they doesn't want to get married, ends up joining an all-female detective agency. Told through letters/diary entries etc and just a lot of fun, I'm pretty sure there's a sequel coming out at some point which I'm very excited for)

5. A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers (cosy sci-fi about a non-binary monk who is somehow unfulfilled by life so goes looking for more, meets a robot in the wild and goes on a road trip with it. Very cosy soft sweet and just what I needed this month)

Big shout-outs also to Bunny by Mona Awad, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M Danforth and Vicious by V E Schwab.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

The Night Circus kinda, only because I'm not usually very big on detailed, luscious description in books, like I can take it or leave it, but the description was what I absolutely loved about this book. It's so gorgeous and evocative and honestly I can take or leave the plot, but it was worth reading (and earned a 5 star) from the description alone.

[rfaromance]

mysme cast as neopets

once again, I am highly qualified, as my neopets account is old enough to vote in the USA.

Yoosung: Starry Poogle! He is "Shooting Star Yoosung" after all, and Poogles are described as a pet that looks like a cute and cuddly dog-esque creature... but with extremely sharp teeth! Yoosung is a puppy boy, but he can get snippy and protective!

Zen: White Lupe. He's clearly a wolf boy. Lupes are brave, loyal, and perhaps a bit too confident. Zen seems that way at first glance, but his confidence is largely a ruse! Hug your local white-haired beast today!

Jaehee: Striped Nimmo! Nimmos are intelligent, spiritual creatures who value peace and harmony. However, they have quite an affinity for martial arts! Perfect for our witty, religious judo queen. I imagine that Jumin required her to paint herself yellow (a basic, default color) before starting at C&R, but in her good ending, she paints herself a sweet, soft striped color!

Jumin: Silver Shoyru! (Yes, because Zen disdainfully refers to him as "born with a silver spoon in his mouth.") Shoyrus are adept flyers, so maybe Jumin missed that gene with his driving skills. More importantly, they are fiery creatures who are fiercely loyal. If you treat a Shoyru right, you have a friend for life... but if you mistreat him, he will never, ever forget it.

707: Camouflage Kougra. He's clearly cat-coded, so the playful, wild Kougra who LOVES to pounce with his big paws is perfect! However, he's camouflage colored not just because the reddish and orange hues match his hair, but because Seven is cursed to a life in the shadows, always needing to blend in and never to exist freely....

V: Maractite Ogrin! Ogrins are shy at first, but once they're comfortable around someone, they're friendly and chatty! They're also highly curious and bright, and they love to ask questions as well as go for long nature walks to observe their surroundings. How perfect for our artistic photographer? Also, V was sassy and rude as a teen, and I think I can see him asking prying questions to be a brat back then! Maractite is interesting because when it's used for a weapon, it cuts through water with ease and is extremely sharp and durable... but it erodes quickly on land. Sounds a lot like V, powerful and bright in certain settings but fragile when out of his element.... (plus the colors are minty).

Ray: Plushie Cybunny! Ray is clearly bunny-coded. Plus, Cybunnies come from Terror Mountain, and "Ray" did not exist until Mint Eye, which is... onba mountain! A plushie looks sweet and non-threatening, right? You can trust him. :)

Suit Saeran: Skunk Wocky! While Ray is bunny-coded, Suit is certainly cat-coded. He'd be perfect as a Wocky, which is a bold, adventurous Neopet... perhaps too daring for his own good! He'd take the black and white palette to look powerful, akin to his suit.

GE Saeran: Faerie Usul! Usuls are friendly and brave, and they are extremely loyal. Saeran devotes himself fully to the people he loves and the causes he believes in. But he's also selfless to a fault, so he'd be an Usul, which is a Neopet known to be the first to share food with their friends once winter hits! He'd be Faerie because he's pretty, and because he's finally free to touch the clouds.

Unknown: Wraith Jetsam. Mean, unfriendly, vicious. If you can earn his favor, you have a powerful ally. Otherwise? Prepare to be eaten by the Void.

SE Saeran: Cloud Kacheek. Kacheeks are peaceful and shy, avoiding violence whenever possible. They also live in meadows! SE does not want to mingle and definitely wants to avoid conflict. His brother won't always let him outside to look at the clouds, but at least he can paint clouds on himself.

Vanderwood: Electric Zafara! Zafaras are adventurous and can be found anywhere in Neopia; nobody quite knows from where they originate! Similarly, we don't actually know where Vanderwood is from, although many of us have theories! Zafaras are also said to bring good luck if you're kind to them. While Vandy may not be a lucky fellow, the people around them somehow fare better when he gets involved? Electric color is self-explanatory.

Rika: Faerie Korbat! Rika is a person who is simultaneously intimidating and alluring, and I think a Korbat with faerie wings captures that essence! Korbats are friendly and welcoming, even though their appearance may frighten others. They're also inquisitive and have sharp senses, allowing them to learn a lot in a short time. It also makes sense that Rika, a nocturnal creature, would crave love from the sun so desperately...

Number 9 for the self ship agere ask game! ^^

HEHE THIS IS SO OBSCURE OKAY!! /vpos

Ok so- a long time fav of mine has been Trevor Lefkowitz from CBS Ghosts!

Context ->

The time we spend together is pre-canon! So he hasn't yet ended up as a ghost at woodstone. He's just,,, Trevor! And it's like the 90s!

<- pls ignore the way the flags r sitting Tumblr is so broken for me I literally cannot fix it

🪐 🌱 🌻

As a CG...🫧

He is such a classic dad I SWEAR TO YOU omg..I can't do anything without being called a silly little name !!

And he loves showing me how strong he is all the time (usually fails) by picking me up an trying to toss me on furniture or something. Like, pa, we are physically the same height. That is not happening.

Does not know things..in the kitchen. He's lucky I always always am able to make myself food otherwise I would be living off nothing but cereal and apple slices. (I'm being mean he actually does make some banger stuff but... I wouldn't consider most of it real food)

Big on PDA (save me) we cannot be together anywhere ever. Because he's either grabbing my hands or putting his hands on my shoulders or back or MY HEAD???? I can't style my hair because he'll mess it back up over the course of the day!!

I will say....I enjoy..........the kissies....

BED TIMES ARE SUPREEEEEMEEEEEEEE!!!!! He'll let me lay on him while he reads stories or tells me about his own life (it gets wild) and he makes sure to keep his tone nice and low and even and HFSNSFJ he's so warm?? Like a human space heater?? - and if I'm being a little menace about going to sleep we make my plushies fight in a boxing match...if mine wins I get an extra 5 minutes before he leaves >:]] stonks...

I call him "dad", "pa" or "daddy" ! He's one of the only people actually allowed to refer to me by feminine terms. He's such a girl dad how could I not let him princess me tbh?? "Princess" is one nickname he likes for me but it's so many all over the place,, some of them just turn into a complete jumble. "Kitty" "kittycat" "kittygirl" "prettykitty" (idk why he likes calling me kitty I am quite literally a dog therian?????) But also stuff "squirt" "goober" "tiger" !! I'm still waiting for him to come up with his own trademark obscure dad nickname...time will tell.....

As a regressor....🧃

-> This is usually set during his college years!

He...is....tired..he comes to my room wholly unannounced at ungodly hours of the night, usually after some big frat party. Things depend on what went down there - some nights I can barely get him undressed before he just crashes in my bed.

Small. Sometimes not,, but usually. He's pretty insecure of how much support he actually needs sometimes - wants to be independent and big but it's just not gonna happen. Especially when he's overtired I need to be a bit sneaky with helping, otherwise we risk some tears. I'd place him at maybe 3-5?? Just in that space where a kiddo wants to try being a little person for the first time.

He really likes super heroes! Spiderman is his favorite. Anything Spiderman themed he's gonna absolutely beg me for. Doesn't matter if it's clothes, toys, comics....etc. we're busting out the puppy eyes. And he is GOOD at the puppy eyes. The amount of money I've dropped on him is unholy!

Cuddly. It doesn't matter if he's my pa, my boyfriend or my little bug...he needs to be touching me at all times. He'll take any excuse too - like crossing the street - I don't even have to ask for his hand, it just magically appears in mine! We're in proximity of a couch? We're on it. Actually, no. I'm on the couch, he's on me!

Very cute nicknames. For such a big little dude - he's called such soft things. "Bunny" "puppy" "dove" "babydoll" "angel"...I gear toward those when he's younger (which is most of the time) but when he's in an older headspace I straight up just call him "dude" or variations of "little man" HEHEH

Puppy regressor!! Black lab specifically! His favorite things are head scratchies and fetch! I'm not kidding with fetch. He'll bring me any random objects and try to get me to throw them. I've had to take flip flops out of his mouth. - One thing he does when pup regressed is just chill at my feet and I love it. He's so content to just quietly stick to my side while I work on stuff or relax. I actually got a dog bed to put under my desk for that exact reason!

That's all I'm gonna put in this post for now!! Cause I don't wanna make it too too long PFF--

I'm so bummed about the images being BROKEN but I can always edit my posts when they're fixed >:[[[

this is a request from @silver-fire-wolf-pokemon-lover ---------------------------------------------------fic name:snowy day love

it twas a frosty afternoon on Christmas eve, and shadow, sonic, and silver are resting by the fire while they wait for guests to arrive. they have been prepping all morning for a Christmas party and now they finally get to relax. "wow, I keep forgetting holidays can get hectic" sonic said with a chuckle, "well that's how it can get sometimes, people can get wild during the holidays and I've never known why" shadow replied. "well maybe its cause people just want things to be perfect for the people that they care about" replied silver "they just want everyone to be happy". "understandable I can see where your coming from silv" said sonic "now what if we gave each other one of our gifts, ya know for funsies" sonic smiled a wide smile waiting for the other's response.

"you always try to do this sonic, we aren't doing that" replied shadow, "ugh c'mon it'd be fun" sonic said with a huff." no we aren't opening gifts early" replied shadow firmly. "I mean it's one gift shadow I'm sure it's fine" informed silver, shadow looked at silver and then looked at sonic then sighed "fine we can open one gift early, just one". "YAY thanks shads" exclaimed sonic he gave shadow and silver a peck on the cheek and dashed to the tree. he came back with three gifts each with their respective colors as the bow, "alright" he said as he handed silver and shadow their gifts "whose going first?". "well I think you should go first sonic" silver suggested, "I mean you're the one who came up with the idea". "you're so right silv" sonic said with excitement, he picks up his present and then reads the tag "it says to sonic from shads". he kicks his legs with excitement "ooh I can't wait to open it" he exclaims. "well what on Mobius are you waiting for, open it" replied shadow, "I'm getting to it hold your horse's buttface" replied sonic with a huff. silver giggles at the comment sonic made and shadow just rolls his eyes.

sonic opens the gift and inside is a blanket that looks like a galaxy "oooh this looks so cool and it feels so soft" he raps himself in the blanket "thanks shads", "no problem" replied shadow he then turns to silver and asks"do you wanna go next?". silver jumps a little but then says "oh sure I'd love to, now whose it from?". "OH OH, that's from me" excitedly exclaims sonic, "I was gonna read the tag but I guess I already know" replies silver sarcastically. "sorry got excited" sonic said slightly hiding in his new blanket. "it's alright sonic, I get your thing is going fast" silver joked which made sonic and shadow chuckle. silver opens his gift and it's a squishmallow bunny with a felt bow hot glued on to look like a bow tie. "aww it's so cute" silver said, he hugs the squishmallow and then says "thanks a lot sonic". "heh no prob silv" shyly replied sonic, "OH hey shadow it's your turn" sonic the says with excitement.

shadow picks up his gift and reads the tag "to shadow from silver, well let's see what's inside" as he's opening it silver says "I know it sounds dumb but I didn't really know what to get you at first but then I remembered you once wished some old pictures of you and maria were less blurry and uhh in color" he continues to say "so I got it done I hope you like em". shadow stays silent for a small moment while holding the now clear and in-color picture. "shads you ok?" asked sonic, then silver stutters "d-do you not like them i-i'm sorry if you don't i-". "I love them" shadow finally says "r-really," silver asks. "yes of course I love them" shadow pauses "thanks so much silver". silver sighs with relief, then sonic says "BRING IT IN YOU TWO".

he wraps both boys in a hug, "I love you guys" sonic said. "I love you both too" replied silver. shadow sighs and then says "I love you both too". they all then snuggle together on the couch as they wait for their friends to show up for the party.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this request was from @silver-fire-wolf-pokemon-lover

this was honestly so fun to write and so calming too. I hope you like how it turned out.

[bruh-changbin]

heyyyy lovieeeeee,,, how r u doing, i've missed youuuuu - and i hope you've been keeping well and looking after yourself <333

i read like a thousand books (three) in my time away and wow i had a good fucking time.. okay so based off of your recommendation, i read klara and the sun which.. admittedly had been collecting dust on my shelf since last august i think.. big massive heavy regret on that front,, it was so beautiful and it's like the second book i've ever read where i could like picture everything so clearly omds it was so descriptive and i loved it and klara and her mind so much it was such a lovely read so thank you for mentioning it otherwise it would have sat for a bit longer i'm sure !!!

then i read a certain hunger and OHHHHHH my days,,, that fucking book.. my second favourite read of the year so far so amazing .. it was wild and i loved it, amazing,,, so interesting like i don't think i've read anything like that before .. wow.. i loved the narrative and like that part at the end w alex.. imagine if she'd said yes.. hmm – i also found her friendship with emma (at least after the arrest thing) so touching and lovely,,, that letter (4 lines) she wrote was so sweet and i think dolls is such a cute little nickname too

and i just finished reading exciting times by naoise dolan which i really enjoyed too.. if you like sally rooney you'll like this book (most likely,,, i love sally rooney and loved this) but yes.. just a very simple and i guess in a way sometimes dull depiction of the life of an irish woman (22 (?) year old) who moves to hong kong to teach england and it follows the relationships and stuff she experiences while she's there,,, i really really loved it !!!

all of this to say,,, more recs please i love ur book brain sm (and ur writing one and ur friendship one of course) <333

sax!!!!!! hi baefy I missed you too 😿💗 I’m doing pretty alright! struggling through uni while trying to make sure I take time for myself 🩹😵‍💫 how have you been??!

I’m am absolutely ECSTATIC that you loved kats because it’s by far one of my fav reads of the year. ishiguro is so good at world building and tbh I’m absolutely terrified of AI’s and the idea of robots taking over but by the end of the book I was so captivated by klara and her motives and I had literal tears streaming down my face when I finished. if you liked ishiguro’s writing I’d def recommend never let me go! it’s a lot more self reflective thank kats but wowww it is still amazing. I’m currently reading a pale view of hills which is his debut novel and it’s interesting.. I like it so far (only 30 pages in) but I’m not finding it as gripping as his other stories.

YASSSS I was hoping you would like a certain hunger!!! I genuinely have not read a single book quite like it but I loved it sm 😫 omg the end w alex sent me for a loop as much as I understood where she was coming from part of me wishes she accepted his proposal and lived a happy life instead of… you know 😵‍💫 I wish emma was in the book way more tbh!!! she was such an interesting side character and I agree w you their relationship was a nice break from everything else that was going on.

confession time: I have never picked up a sally rooney book 😵‍💫 but since you love her I’ll give her a try since I think my dad has a copy of normal people lying around somewhere… but exciting times sounds really interesting!! I love love love slice of life fics so this sounds right up my alley I’ll have to check it out

when I first moved into my new rental place I was without internet for almost 2 weeks so I read a fuck ton and have more recs for you! (apologies in advance for clogging up everyones dash w this long ass post)

well I reread bunny and loved it even more the second time since I could kinda work out all of the unexplained odds and ends, and then I read mona award’s new book all’s well and really enjoyed it! def not as much as bunny but it was still good and super trippy and had a very insane mc which always keeps things fun 😼

sticking w the theme of crazy main characters i finished nightbitch by rachel yoder and it is my most annotated book by far like… shit was insane. it’s about a stay at home mom who gave up her job of being an artist and she starts to think that she’s slowly turning into a dog and kinda joins a cult with other stay at home moms. very weird and unsettling at times but also very very interesting and well written!

I think I remember telling you about breasts and eggs by mieko kawakami awhile ago (still one of my top reads of the year) but I just read heaven by her and it felt as if my heart was ripped out of my chest and stomped on repeatedly. it’s about these 2 middle school kids who bond over being the victims of bullying and 🤧 it destroyed me to say the least but was also so beautifully written

last one I promise I promise then I’ll shut the fuck up but slow days fast company by eve babitz!!! super short but veryyy fun and summery and made me feel like a sore loser for not being alive in LA in the 70’s. it’s a memoir but does not feel like one bc it’s so so fun 💗

AHHH that’s all I’m sorry that was so much rambling 😭 but it fr makes me so happy to chat about books w you if you read more pls give me recs!!! you’re so so sweet sax it’s so nice to be chatting w you again 💗💗💗

Why I Stopped Watching These Romance Animes

Disclaimer!! Just my opinions 

Kaguya-sama Love Is War

This is probably going to upset some people but I just couldn’t get into it. I was so bored watching it, it has some cute moments for sure but there was something about it that I just did not like. Its not your typical romance I guess, and usually I’d be all over something like this but it did not do it for me. I honestly don’t even know what to say because it wasn’t bad, it was just super boring in my opinion and I wish I got the hype about it and I wish I liked it.

My Little Monster 

Okay, I can understand why people enjoy Love Is War, but this anime is one that I just can’t get behind. I literally stopped watching after I think the second episode because I was kind of flabbergasted at the ML. Its giving toxic, it’s giving abusive, and I just could not understand why people like him? Like sure he’s attractive I guess, but damn if some man did any of that to me I would think he’s trash. The amount of whiplash she must be feeling because of him is wild. Also lets not forget about the threats that he made about him R wording her, like what the actual fuck. So yeah, my overall thoughts are that this anime sucks and I don’t even care that I didn’t watch the full thing to make that judgement.

Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai

Do I really have to explain? This shit was the most boring and repetitive anime that I have ever watched ( actually that may not be true but it’s fine ) I just started watching it because it was all the hype at the time and my friends were watching it. I think I only made it to episode four, and It was truly painful. Overrated as fuck and the plot isn’t even all that great, his love confession was probably the only redeemable thing about it. Also I don’t care for fan service animes that much so all around this anime was just not for me.

Holiday Spirit PART 1

“Those spriggans are so cute.” A husked whisper of praise in Jaro’s ear from behind, the keeper is quick to feel a spike of heat and agitation for such.. A startled sexual need, his tail lashes from behind at the raen-xaela. “I’m going to feel bad when I eat them.”

“W-W-Who says you get any?” Jaro huffs, a crooked smile spreading over his lips as he feels Olkund lean into him.. His lover’s body heat is always welcomed.. Radiant, it’s easy to bask in the looming man. But he tries to remain focused on the baking at hand.. Which really is just waiting for these cookies to cool down to ice up.. 

“They for someone other than us?” Olkund chuckles, smacking a peck to the keeper’s twitching ear. 

Another hot huff as his core twists.. “Y-Y-Yesss…” A hiss, Jaro feels all the more embarrassed. “Our neighbors..” A lie but he /hates/ how Olkund so easily makes him melt with such simple yet genuine praise. 

It certainly doesn’t help when the man laughs behind him, his body rumbling in the loud sound of bemusement as his hands come to stroke at Jaro’s hips.. There is no sexual intent in it, but nonetheless it drives Jaro wild.

“The bunny and cat? Since when did you like them enough to bake for them?”

“Holiday.. S-spirit.” Jaro lies as he bucks his ass back, wiggling it into Olkund in attempt to make him leave but.. Instead, it just brings forth a hot gruff from Olkund and his hands hold tighter. 

“Is that right?” But he does nothing more with his strong grip. To simply be held is.. Enough to stir a whimper from Jaro.

“Mmmmmhmm…” Wiggle, wiggle..

“Then let me help you deliver them.” A kiss to the tip of his lover’s ear. 

“W-W-Whyyyy..” Jaro huffs. 

“Holiday spirit.” A massage to the keepers hips, Jaro’s lips let out a purr reserved only for Olkund.. “What needs to be done?” The taller keeps his voice low and in the twitchings of Jaro’s ears.. As if their conversation were a secret.

Some habits never die.

Large hands soon advert the massage into a more sliding touch, rough fingers sprawling along the dark skin of his partner.. Olkund inches his fingers under the hem and fabric of small shorts.. There luckily nothing further to keep his touch away from cupping the wiggling cheeks. Soft.. 

“I-I-I..” Jaro swallows, trying to settle himself. He use to be so good at being centered and focused, at swallowing his needs and feelings. But years have passed and with Olkund, there is never anything unwanted. “Iiiicing.. Ugh!” But he can still feel agitated and play hard to get, so he reaches behind him to yank Olkund’s hands out from his shorts, completely leaving the shared space. 

Short tail lashes in irritation.. And Olkund can only chuckle. 

Though his cock is restrained in both slit and attire, the need is quite apparent and he is not ashamed of it. “Sounds like a lot of sugar.”

“Y-Yeah well, I want t-t-their.. Mmh..” A curious glimpse over to his partner and of course he notices the swell. Jaro’s own cock twitches in a preweep. “I want their teeth to r-r-rrrot.” Another purr out of his control, Jaro huffs in irritation before fully turning away once more. Looking to the counter for some sort of distraction, all that he would need for the decoration is on the side of Olkund. 

‘Seriously?’

“So neighborly, heh..” Olkund approaches with such casual suave, his hands not touching Jaro outside of a polite tap to his shoulder. “I’m not claiming to know what you need, but I think all that you need is over behind me, mmh?” 

“Maybe if you left I could fff..fffocus..” As his tail swats, the curled tips brush over Olkund’s bulge. And though he is not usually so sensitive in the tail like that, he swears he can feel the sweltering heat of his lover and it leaves him in a literal whimper.. Body obedient as he suddenly thrusts his hips back and into Olkund.. Wiggle of ass and grind against the bulging heat, Jaro groans as he covers his own face in a sort of flushed shame. He hates giving in.. “You k-knooow I don’t like the help so.. j-Just.. j-just take me already..”

“Take you?” A question and yet large hands greedily take hold of his hips. A groan as the keeper begins to thrust himself back into the bulge. Olkund squeezes. 

“Y-Yess! So I can finish thisss..” A whiney hiss. “That’s what you’re here forrr..”

“Mmh well.. If that’s what you think...” A chuckle, Olkund pulls back but not without a slap to Jaro’s eager ass. “Then I’ll leave you alone.” 

“Mmh.. what?” A perk of ears in confusion, Jaro looks back to his lover with a curved scowl of confusion. Olkund merely shrugs, his expression risen in slight amusement but that can only be told if one were to know him; otherwise the auri looks bored. 

“Well, I don’t wish to distract you from the holiday spirit. And you don’t have to service me to get space, so.. I’ll let you get to it.” 

Jaro stands himself up more, the shame now turning into irritation for being.. Rejected in a sense. But he knows Olkund is both teasing and genuinely trying to be kind and allow him to work. Nonetheless, it’s frustrating..

And pouting to Olkund for he feels speechless in snark, the taller chuckles and leans in to kiss them softly.. “Keep up the holiday spirit, yahkiri.”

Ningning Is aespa's Enthusiastic Daydreamer NINGNING is in a good mood. It's more of a constant than an observation. The reality is that the 20-year-old singer has an immense enthusiasm for life — and for truly living. It's hard not to be pulled into her orbit, especially when aespa's youngest member emits the kind of laugh that makes everyone around her feel just a little bit lighter. There wasn't a time before singing. NINGNING had been pulled to the arts from a young age. Growing up in China, she competed on several singing competition shows, including China's Got Talent and New Sound Generation. She joined SM Entertainment as a trainee in 2016, and, in the four years she spent honing her skills as a vocalist and performer, she also developed an artistic eye for drawing, painting and more visual tactile mediums like customizing her vintage wardrobe with her own doodles and designs.Related | Bask in aespa's Digital GlowThe digital looks she co-designed with PAPER and The Dematerialised showcase her creativity. In envisioning her tie, she thought of something you could only wear in the digital world, an accessory that stretches the limitations of your own imagination. In an industry that is often perceived as restrictive, NINGNING is a true free spirit. You can't put her in a box or temper her self-expression. It's one of the reasons she's become a muse in online stan spaces from TikTok to Twitter. (The "untouchable" edit from user @mieom_ee has over 16 million views and sparked a global trend that NINGNING herself even participated in.) Her members describe her as "quirky" or someone who often gets lost in her own daydreams.It's not like she doesn't have experience turning those fantasies into reality. When aespa debuted in late 2020, NINGNING finally got to stand on stage and call herself an artist, a dream more than a decade in the making. She looks up to singers like Ariana Grande, Rihanna and SZA — pop and R&B artists who cultivate a presence. Her voice is her secret weapon; soulful and agile, NINGNING possesses a keen sense of her own dynamic artistry. She can be a baddie (have you seen this solo performance?), but she can also turn around and hit you right in your feelings with a single note. From music to fashion to acting alongside her members in a web series inspired by aespa's lore, NINGNING approaches everything with an open mindset. Every endeavor is an opportunity to have fun. What is she looking forward to next? Her digital counterpart æ-NINGNING reached out from the FLAT to ask NINGNING just that, as well as to hear all of the behind-the-scenes stories about her first foray into digital fashion.æ-NINGNING: The digital look you designed is incredible. Tell me about how you co-created it with PAPER and The Dematerialised?NINGNING: You know I love a bold fashion moment. I think I look so cute in a mini skirt, so we started there in the design process. We then worked to create interesting accessories to pair with our looks. I think my tie is really unique and pulls my whole look together. I’m really excited to see our fans have the opportunity to wear the tie virtually. It is going to be really fun to see how everyone styles it on their own.æ-NINGNING: I agree! MYs have the same taste as us, so I think they are going to love everything we designed. I hope our notifications go wild on launch day with all the MYs sharing their photos of our accessories and æ-pets. Speaking of the æ-pets, I love the bunny rabbit. Which one is your favorite?NINGNING: I love pets so much and always get so excited when MYs show love for my cat, Roro. Honestly, I can’t pick a favorite between our æ-pets. I hope I can get them all.æ-NINGNING: We have so much in store for 2023, what are you most looking forward to?NINGNING: I’m most looking forward to releasing new music and seeing all of our MYs reactions. They have been so patient and I can promise them that it will be worth it. What are you most looking forward to?æ-NINGNING: You’re going to be performing at Gov Ball in New York City in June. What is your favorite part of New York City?NINGNING: New York City is such a magical place. I can’t wait to see MYs in New York City. When we were there last summer I was so energized by all of their support.æ-NINGNING: I can’t wait to see everything you accomplish this year.
