i think there's like. something very very wrong with how i think of my original ocs and my gw2 ocs.
#the gw2 ones i just want people to love but i dont think of them as often as i think of my others#its just so much of me making something i hope others will love and want to know about#meanwhile the others i love wholeheartedly. they're for me and i tell them to ruby and there's such. boundless joy. i dont have to worry.#does that make sense??? gw2 is a community i want to feel a part of (i dont feel it) and i want desperately to be liked and not replaced#and i feel. safe. with ruby#there is no limits there. there is no fear. there is just effortless joy and i feel better for it.#i dont know. there's something wrong here.#gw2 ocs just end up exhausting me sometimes. and it shouldnt. but there is so much room for creation and so little room for. idk. reception?#i dont know. i thought of characters today in the manhua idea i had. and it made me so happy i wanted to tell her.#bc she is maybe one of the.... 2? people? that would listen and. care. for more than a few minutes i guess#oh my heart is so heavy#oh im just so tired. im tired of performing#im tired.#i feel limited and confined and. idk idk. sometimes i just cant breathe here. maybe its just me. it probably is.#vent post

hmmmm not gonna lie that did not hook me very strongly
#felt like the pacing and character motivations were a bit screwy; like why did the dr just show up to unit#ramble about susan twist and then randomly pivot to finding ruby's mom like what triggered this connection#why did everyone just make the leap that the two things are connected... cmon the universe is so big#unit feels like it's starting to be mcu-ified and I know I sound very old man yelling at cloud but I don't like it!!#things I did like: Carla trying to reassure ruby's birth mum in the time window that ruby's safe and she grows up loved... that got me ;-;#also Kate Stewart? love her#wish we got more of rose noble personality-wise; in this episode she functions almost entirely like any other background unit character#doctor who#dw spoilers#i spy an original post

Another random brainrot post about a fandom (as usual from me) but since I was watching Sex Lives of College Girls/SLOCG- I stopped S3 after Leighton aka Renee rapp's character left tbh, but I do know about Taylor- I've been seeing people shipping Taylor and Bela.
Not sure how I feel about it yet, but say if they were to be written as canon and written well- i.e. not just because people want them together for the sake of it, they actually make each other better people- *also keeping in mind tho Bela's current position as a mentor to Taylor- I'd also be fine with Taylor and Bela being friends in the end and remembering/seeing each other as a person who really helped themselves during a tough time in their lives-
Anyway if they did become canon all I wanted to say was I've seen people trying to make a ship name for them and I've so far seen Taybela and Beylor. I have come up with and started using "Tayhotra" (combo of Taylor, and Bela's last name, Malhotra). We'll see if there's others that people come up with, but yeah also just wanted to contribute to the discourse with my typical fandom brain rot post. Until the next one.
#sex lives of college girls#slocg#taybela#beylor#using the other ship names here to respect the ship namers who came up with them#I always love seeing the first draft ship names that people come up with for a ship#tayhotra#feel free to use tayhotra if you like it#I also am open to ash and taylor becoming a thing#so if youre a taylor and ash enjoyer you are safe here as well#because we all love ruby cruz too but hopefully ash has more scenes and doesn't get sniped by the writing either#my tayhotra prediction- I'm going to say for now that they keep the mentor aspect for Bela#but I've also learned don't bet it all against Mindy Kaling and that writing room cause you never know#UPDATE so they made Bela canon bi so maybe delulu was the solulu for the writers room#love that we got a scene of Bela telling Taylor and seeing her reaction#so now there is a half chance for this ship? but we don't know yet about s4 AHHH#if there is another season I would be so interested to see if Taylor and Ash stay on#I don't have any predictions#it'll be interesting to just see what they end up doing

Fandom: LaDS Pairings: Caleb x afab!reader Tags: Possessive love, graphic smut, very ‘touch her and die’ vibes, breeding kink, Caleb is jealous of Xavier, light impact play, overstimulation, creampie (be safe ya’ll). MINORS DNI. WC: 2.5k
Description: You were a little late returning home from the Hunter’s Association. A/N: For @laddelulu30 who put breeding on my mind xD Also dedicated to @unintentionalseductress because well, Caleb :3
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
You said you’d be out late. He already expected that. Yet something about the whole situation still made him uneasy.
“There’s a pair of agents that just got back from their interrogation. We’re debriefing and then planning our schedules for the next few days. I promise, if it’s later than midnight, I’ll call you to pick me up.” You reassured him over video call.
Caleb couldn’t protest, not when your eyes are staring back at him with sincerity he’s known for the better part of your lives — it was the same look you fixed him when you wanted an extra five minutes of his time to play whatever game you’d come up with that day.
“Alright, alright, fine. Just promise to text me.” Caleb relented, the muscles in his jaw tightening despite the smile he tried to fix on his lips.
“I will.”
That was over two hours ago. Thanks to the lifestyle app that you had suggested you download onto your phones, you were able to see each other’s general location on the map, and the speeds at which your phone was traveling at. Of course this only worked if you had your phone on you and the location was only accurate up to a 3-miles radius…and that wasn’t acceptable for him. No, he needed to know where you are at all times, down to the last step.
There’s a secret app on Caleb’s work cell, one he clicked open to reveal your precise location (the Hunter’s Association building, third floor, in one of the meeting rooms that’s in the south-eastern wing). This app was connected to the tracker embedded in the ruby gemstone of the dainty gold anklet he’d gifted you. You didn’t know about the tracker’s existence of course, and if you did… well that stirred a different feeling in Caleb that he was all too happy to entertain, if his focus wasn’t already fixated on your location.
When the hour struck 10 and you still hadn’t called, he needed to take matters into his own hands.
“C’mon pip-squeak…pick up the phone.” He muttered as the video call attempted to connect.
“Caleb? Why are you calling me silly?” Your laughter made the imaginary claws around his heart retract by a few centimeters. Despite trying to maintain some semblance of restraint, the reproachful tone in his voice reverberated through his sentence.
“You said you’d call if you were staying later than midnight.”
“And it isn’t midnight.”
Caleb snorted. “Just like you to rely a little too much on technicalities.”
Your laughter made his fingers pause mid-strum against the arm of your sofa. “It isn’t technicalities, it’s the truth. Clock has yet to strike midnight, Mr Caleb.” Your teasing tone doesn't go unnoticed.
He chuckled, “It’ll be past midnight by the time you get here. Let me pick you up from work.”
“Caleb, I’m not a little girl anymore. Trust me, I’ve made the walk home a dozen times before with no problem-”
“And that’s supposed to make me feel better? The pure coincidence that you haven’t been attacked by some stalker?”
Oh, it was certainly rich of him to say this. But you didn’t know that. You didn’t know how he was practically on edge right now, the sound of your laughter, the gentle curve of your lips….
“Stop that.” He commanded before he could stop himself, startling not just you but himself. It wasn’t like him to lose his control like this.
“What?” You questioned with furrowed brows.
“Biting your lip. Stop biting your lip, I want to do that.” Caleb said, his voice dropping into that gruff tone that made your thighs clench. Torn between surprise and a sudden rush of arousal, you licked your upper lip, brain trying to grasp at the thoughts that rushed through your mind from his authoritarian tone. “I…I wasn’t aware I was doing it. Sorry.”
Caleb shook his head, locks of his hair curtaining his purple gaze. “You’ve nothing to apologize for. Just be careful coming home.” He told you in a gentler tone. The soft smile didn’t reach his eyes and you wondered what could’ve possibly changed… Caleb was no stranger to you working late, especially when it came to a case that had spanned months of tracking and intel gathering.
“I will be.” You answered. You will be. Caleb thought to himself, watching the little red dot move along the map of his work phone, muscles on the back of his neck slowly relaxing when the very same dot started to move towards the building’s exit. He felt better knowing your exact location at all times.
Your fingerprint unlocked the door to your apartment and you were pleasantly surprised by the scent of good food wafting from your barely used kitchen – outside of baking, the kitchen was only functioning when Zayne happened to drop by. Though the doctor much preferred to spend time at his apartment or experiencing the service of an actual chef in a restaurant. Caleb however, had long since made himself at home in your kitchen. There was something oddly intimate about how he knew where you kept all your cups and plates, which drawer stored the utensils versus the designated junk drawer – drawerS, if we were being truthful.
“Perfect timing, the rice just finished cooking..” He gestured towards the tasty food and dinner setting that waited for them at the table. You closed the door behind you, hanging your coat with an air of playful suspicion. “What did you do Caleb?” You asked.
His easy chuckle softened your heart, while he led you to the table, the warm touch of his fingers easily breaking down said suspicions. This is Caleb. Your Caleb. “I’m not trying to butter you up pip-squeak. I promise. Juuuust making sure you’re eating, even if it isn’t really on time.” He pulled back a chair for her to sit down, before taking his own seat. You picked up on his pointed tone.
“I’m sorry. It wasn’t like I intended to stay that late, I swear.” You said watching as he picked up your plate and started to arrange the home-cooked meal on it. His gaze met yours over the food, his scrutiny a little gentler than before. “Who else was there?” He asked.
You cocked your head, accepting the plate he offered. “The usual crowd, you’ve met Tara before. Then Simone was there to give a debriefing…”
“And what about that guy?”
You suddenly had flashbacks of being a preteen and Caleb’s presence scaring away any and all potential crushes. Picking at your food, you raised an innocent eyebrow. “You mean Xavier?” His silence spoke more than his words ever could.
“He hasn’t been around. Out on another mission by himself. And even if he wasn’t, do you honestly believe you have anything to be worried about?” You challenged him with a smile – one that immediately made his pants feel a little too tight. Caleb glowered back at you, “It’s not you I don’t trust, pip-squeak. Let’s make that clear. It’s other people I have little faith in.” He watched as you stood up from your seat, walking over to him. There was a glimmer in your eyes, something that hinted at mischief. Given your history, he was all too familiar with that look of yours. You had something up your sleeve.
“You know, you’ve got to start working on your expressions if you’re ever going to go undercover, y/n.” He teased, your fingers trailing across his broad shoulders. He kept his focus on you as you walked around his chair and with a gentle nudge of your hip, had him push it backwards to provide you with just enough room to sit on his lap.
You weren’t as amused by his jab, pouting up at him in a way that made his heart rate pick up. “I got a high score in ‘stealth and disguise’ thank you very much.” You retorted, arms going around his neck. Your fingers begin to play with the sterling silver chain of his dog tag, savoring the warmth of it between your fingertips. “Are you going to be a meanie all night just because you made dinner?”
His chuckle is followed by his arms cradling you, “Well I wasn’t going to say anything but since you pointed it out-...” His grip on you tightened before he stood up and carried you from the dining table.
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
If he were being honest, he’d lost count of the number of orgasms he gave you. All he knew was that he’d never get tired of the way you look beneath him, the way the silver apple charm and dog tag clinked against his chest with each thrust he makes, and he’d especially never get tired of the way you moaned his name like you were begging for repentance from a god. “Where do you think you’re going pip-squeak? Don’t tell me you’re done taking cock? You were so desperate for it earlier.” His voice took on a darker edge, his evol thickening in the air, the fine hairs on your body standing on end at the gravity change in your environment. Your hips that had unconsciously tried to pull away are forced back onto his, forcing him in an angle that made you feel so full. “Caleb…” You whined, walls tight as you accommodated his hard, almost manic thrusts – like he just wanted to see how much he could pull out of you, how big of a puddle he could make on the hardwood floor of your living room.
“Love hearing you say my name like that.” He muttered, rolling his hips in figure 8’s just to further blur the lines between insanity and pleasure. “What do you think about recording it one day for me, hmm? Give me the pleasure of listening to you moaning over and over again when you send me texts.” Caleb’s smirk is replaced with a sudden darkening of his lavender eyes. “Then again, that would mean risking other people hearing your beautiful, needy voice. And I like knowing that this is all for me.” His hand slid into your hair, grasping a handful in a rough ponytail and tugging you back to focus on him. You wanted to say something but half your face is still pushed into the couch cushions, his hand keeping you in place.
SMACK.
Fuck. Your mind was blanking out, the world narrowing down to the strain of your legs while Caleb continued rutting into you like a man possessed. The sharp sting of his palm against your ass cheek only sent more heat to your groin. More… “Aww you’re so cute like this pip-squeak. Look how wet you’re getting when I treat you like the good little slut I knew you always were. I wonder how many times your colleagues fantasize about you, wonder if they know just how depraved and dirty you really like it… All hidden behind this sweet face.” He released your hair, fingers sliding around to squeeze your round cheeks, forcing your lips to purse while his eyes drank in your features.
Without so much as a warning, Caleb is suddenly pulling out of you – the disappointing emptiness only lasting for a fraction of a second before he flipped you over and with the help of his evol, pinned you down into a mean mating press – his favorite position with you. Caleb loved to watch the way your pupils dilate into lust-blown hearts when his cock stretches you, loved even more when your legs hook over his shoulders so he could leave gentle kisses along your calf, which honestly used to be his favorite part about fucking you like this. That quickly changed when he gifted that anklet to you – yes, the one with the tracker embedded in the matching apple charm – he’d also had the foresight to include another addition to the anklet: his initials. He’d only ever admit this to himself; something about the way he watched the letter ‘C’ bounce against your ankle in the same fast-paced rhythm he’d started, made his cock twitch. It was another way to mark you, filling him with prideful arrogance when he knew he’s the only privileged bastard to have their initials around your ankle. The same ankle he could hold onto when you have your legs on his shoulders. Well that was the situation until you said the very words that made the last thread of his restraint snap.
“Breed me Caleb.” You pant, his pendant and chain pooling on your sternum.
His hips stuttered, hand slamming down beside your head on the cushion while he steadied himself. “What did you say?”
It wasn’t that he didn’t catch it the first time. The burning desire within Caleb had everything to do with needing to hear it again.
The sting of your fingernails leaving angry red marks on his back made his irregular breathing heavier, especially when you’re staring straight into his eyes with that expression that practically begged him. “Breed me, please.”
“With fucking pleasure, pip-squeak.” Instincts took over when Caleb leaned down to nip on your luscious lower lip, making good on his promise from before. Once upon a time, you’d have sworn the noises escaping your lips were fake – no way those videos across the Internet could be onto something – Caleb, however, knew everything about your body, knew precisely how to break you down just to take his sweet time putting you together again. “Caleb-...”
“Louder. I want the whole building to hear who you belong to.” His voice is husky, fingers tight enough to leave bruises against the back of your thighs. You could feel every vein, every throb of his cock between your heated, velvety walls-
“Caleb!”
He was thrusting into you with blind need, the scent of your lovemaking thick in the air punctuated by the sodden thwack thwack thwack of your bodies.
Your vision is filled with a white sunburst, your body giving into your pleasure while you keened for him. The noises you made, the expression on your face, that vulnerability of how your chest seemed to flutter while you caught your breath…his. He was going to make you his. To breed you is to claim you in the most basest sense possible, no one would mistake who could’ve possibly made you swollen…the cadence of your voice begging him to breed you rang in his mind again further weakening the battle of wills he’d been having with himself – the need to drag this on as long as possible, or to fill you up to the brim with ropes and ropes of his-
“Fuuuuck…” You purred, overwhelmed from the feel of his warm cum spilling and smearing against your inner thighs.
“Y/n…” The crack in his voice instinctually made you grind against him, forcing another needy moan from Caleb. You both remained that way for a few beats, catching your breath while the white ring around the base of his cock slowly dripped along his balls. He pressed his cheek against your ankle, lips brushing against the curve of the ‘C’ from your anklet. His. You. Are. His.

You're safe.
Sylus x MC/Reader/You
Genre: One shot, angst but comfort?, fluff, gender neutral reader Word count: 1200 words Scenario: Sylus comforts you after a nightmare about your past lives as per request of a lovely anon.
Warnings: mild gore?, blood, description of a nightmare, use of pet names (honey), teeth-rotting fluff
(Also posted on AO3)
Suffocating.
The air was suffocating.
Heavy smoke clouded your vision and made your eyes sting, tears forming in them.
Your hands were covered in blood, it dripped from your fingers heavily, pitter pattering on the scorched ground beneath your knees.
You could hear choking sounds inches away from you.
Through your tears you caught a glimpse of white hair, black iridescent scales.
“Sylus!” you whimpered.
Your dragon wheezed, choked, gurgling sounds echoing from his throat. There was a large sword sticking out of his ribcage. It was impaled all the way through.
It was you who had forced it through.
“No, no, no, no, Sylus,” you sobbed.
Trembling hands captured his cheeks, cradling his face with so much care. Blood smeared on his skin and you frantically tried to wipe it off, only making it worse.
Long claws circled your wrist.
“Shhh, it’s alright,” he whispered weakly.
Tears fell heavily down your cheeks, streaming down like a river, dripping onto his peaceful features.
“Please, please don’t leave me,” you begged of him.
“I will always be here,” he told you. “Always.”
The bright crimson in his eyes faded to a soulless maroon.
You screamed.
You were awakened by gentle but firm fingers, shaking your shoulders.
“Honey, hey.”
Sylus leaned over you, ruby eyes startled, widened with concern, little droplets of water dripping from his wet snowy hair. He'd turned on the lamp on the bedside table and its soft, yellow light outlined his sharp features. Images of your dream, of your shared past life, overlapped with the present, man and dragon flashing before your eyes before finally settling on the man inches away from you.
“Shhh, I'm right here,” he told you steadily.
Mind hazy with sleep, you reached up and wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him down onto you.
Sylus let out a little surprised groan. He caught himself just in time not to crush you under his weight, forearms coming to rest next to your head, on each side of the pillow. You buried your face in the curve of his neck, inhaling his scent, nuzzling your nose against the exposed skin. The scent of his expensive body wash contrasted with the smoke that still burned your throat.
“I came out of the shower and you were crying,” he explained. “It was just a nightmare, it’s okay.”
You gripped onto him so tight you were scared you’d choke him but you were shaking. Desperate to hold him now, like you couldn't do in your dream.
“There was so much smoke, my hands were covered in blood… It was your blood,” you began to tell him, tears welling up in your bleary eyes.
You felt your vocal chords tie themselves into a knot, the salt of your tears going down your throat.
“I pushed a sword into your chest,” you whimpered.
You heard him inhale sharply against your hair.
“I didn't-... I don't-... Sy…” you hiccuped into his neck.
His arms circled your frame and he rolled the two of you over onto your sides. His motion shifted you a bit lower, low enough to bury your face in his chest.
“I know, honey, I know,” he whispered against the top of your head.
Your hands came down to sprawl themselves over his chest, feeling the unscathed skin, the muscles, the tendons. He was warm under your fingers, soft, whole. There was no sword, no blood. You sobbed against his heart.
“Sy, it was awful,” you told him.
You felt the rumbling of a hum within his chest when that was all he could offer you in response.
Your arms circled his waist and you laid your head against his chest, ear pressed to his heart, to listen to its steady beat. And you wept, for him, for you, for a past long gone which you felt so deeply engraved in your chest.
Sylus held you close, long fingers cradling your head against his chest, his other hand on the small of your back.
“It's over now,” he told you, “We're safe and sound.”
Your grip tightened around him and so did his around you.
His hand traced over your shaking shoulders, massaging the tensed muscles, slid down your back soothingly. You held onto him like your life depended on it.
Encased within his embrace was where you wanted, no, needed to be.
He moved his hand away and shifted a little, and you held on to him tighter, afraid he'd slip between your fingers. Another sob ripped through your chest.
“Shh, I'm not going anywhere,” he told you reassuringly.
You realized then he was just tucking the covers over the both of you, cocooning you in warm silk sheets and his arms. When he dragged you even closer, you were able to slip your legs in between his. The sigh that escaped your lips was interrupted by little sobs but it was one of relief.
Sylus seemed to relax in your embrace. He pressed a kiss to the top of your head and began to run his long fingers through your hair carefully. Occasionally, they would get caught up in a knot but he gently detangled it.
Slowly but surely, your sobs began to quiet down.
“You know, I'm glad you're no longer a sorceress,” he told you quietly, fingers slipping into your hair to massage your scalp.
Your head slowly leaned back into his hand and he supported the weight, shifting his position so he could look down at you now that your face was finally away from his chest.
“In this life, I can keep you here, just like this, safe and sound. And I’m no longer afraid you'll be taken away.”
His deep voice was mellow but serious, it resonated with your heart as if the sole sound of it could wrap it up in a tender hold.
The tears hadn't stopped yet. They blurred your vision but you could see his eyes gaze back at you steadily, so attentive.
“What if you're the one who's taken away from me?” you whispered up at him.
A low chuckle rumbled from his chest.
His other hand lifted to catch the tears falling endlessly from your eyes with the knots of his fingers.
“Who would even dare?” he responded, confidence so palpable you found yourself agreeing with him.
You kissed the palm of his hand.
He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss against your forehead, resting his lips there for a long while. You let your eyes close, sinking into him.
So utterly tangled with him, you could feel the steady beat of his heart against yours, the rise and fall of his chest when he breathed, his warm breath against your skin.
Slowly but surely, the tears dried. He cleaned any remains with tender fingers, kissed each one of your swollen eyelids.
“You're safe,” he promised and you believed him.
“I'm tired,” you told him, snuggling further into him.
He wrapped his long arms around you again.
“You can sleep. I'm not going anywhere.”
And you knew he really wasn't because there was no purer love in this world than his.
