#astounding levels of social awkwardness

[chaoswarfare]

dp x dc prompt #25

Vlad is usually pretty bad at dealing with humans on a personal level. good thing cats aren’t people.

after his plans for the Fentons fell through, Vlad put all his energy into his cat, Maddie. soon, cats took over his personal life and he had a small army of furry companions. but since there were only so many cats he could take care of himself, he started funding animal shelters. and the most underfunded shelters happened to be in one Gotham city.

He didn’t plan on the Wayne child also volunteering undercover at shelters, or beginning to see him as more of a son. Maybe it just took someone just as bad at dealing with people as him to start feeling human again.

or- the redeemed animal shelter volunteer Vlad that nobody but my brain asked for.

Hi! Idk if you also write for Poe but I rlly need some more oneshots or scenarios or fanfics of him 😞😞 but can you do something where we’re scarlet witch and Poe is our boyfriend? How would he react having a s/o who’s really strong and powerful? And how would he and ranpo and maybe other agency members feel about him having us as his girlfriend? Sorry if this isn’t specific enough! Idk what else to put in this request 😭

poe with a scarlet witch! s/o

bungo stray dogs x scarlet witch! reader

masterlist of the series

╰➤ CW(s): spoilers from bungo stray dogs (specifically season 2), headcanons + scenarios, major fluff content

╰➤ PAIRING(s): edgar allan poe

headcanons !

poe is socially awkward and timid by nature, but when he's with you, his dearly beloved, he's a tad different. poe is a lot more confident. his voice isn't as quiet, and it's full of love and respect for you.

i think you and poe are a match made in heaven. even your abilities go together.

poe's ability, black cat in the rue morgue, allows him to create a fantasy world governed by his own set of rules, with his own writings serving as the media.

you, on the other hand, have the ability to alter reality due to your possession of chaos magic as the scarlet witch.

you can even manipulate reality at a molecular level very similar to his, allowing you to recreate the fantasy world he creates in real life, which is incredible.

as the scarlet witch, or as an ability user with chaos magic, you are undeniably strong and powerful.

if you wanted, you could even go head-to-head with the port mafia executive who is renowned for his gravity manipulation abilities. you would win.

it truly astounds and somewhat frightens poe how the same red psionics you possess that can wreak havoc and alter reality can be so domestic and endearing when you use it to leviate him the cup of tea you made for him, or when you use it to leviate all sorts of kitchen utensils in the kitchen while you make him food.

you can be really frightening if you want to, especially if you have to fight. let's say you want to protect poe or another ability user.

poe is astounded by how quickly you transform from a sweet, kind, and somewhat shy darling into a straight-up violent force to be reckoned with.

i feel like poe would definitely be a little scared, because again, you're strong and powerful with such an ability, err, abilities?

but poe is mostly bewitched of his darling—like, you know how dazai stares at chuuya when he uses corruption?—poe has the same kind of gaze towards you whenever you use your chaos magic to the fullest.

oh, and being poe's beloved, he spoils you a lot. if poe sees you staring at a piece of clothing or jewelry, he'll get it for you in an instant. a manuscript worth millions is nothing compared to the things he buys.

i also think poe is a traditional type of lover. again, he lavishes you with gifts, and among them is a bouquet of your favorite flowers, as well as handwritten love letters and poems.

his poems might be cheesy but romantic, making you feel loved at all times. they are all about your smile, beauty, strength, and his vow and desire to love and be with you forever. poe finds your flushed cheeks and the soft giggle that escapes your lips cute as you read his poem or love letter.

being poe's beloved also entails being close to karl, which fills his heart with joy. karl actually likes you a lot. you enjoy cuddling and patting the little fella's head.

however, whenever karl clings to you more, it makes poe a little jealous, but it still amazes him (yet again) that you can easily read karl's thoughts with your special ability and communicate with him in the same way that he can, if not better.

scenario !

"you'll get him this time. i'm sure of it!"

poe had written yet another mystery novel to put his rival, edogawa ranpo, to the test once more. you both came to a halt in front of the office, you knocking because poe was shy, and it wasn't long before the door was opened.

"oh, it's poe-san!" atsushi exclaimed, "you must be looking for ranpo-san. come in, he's here!"

you trailed after poe as he entered the office, and that's when atsushi and the others realized he hadn't come sinply with karl.

all eyes were drawn to you at the same time. however, poe mistook it for everyone staring at him, prompting him to stick closer to your side, with karl, who was on his shoulder, transferring to yours instead, to which you responded by petting the top of karl's fluffy and soft head.

"hello and welcome! you must be poe-san's friend," atsushi said with a friendly smile, but he quickly realized how familiar you were, "hmm, but i feel like i've seen you before miss."

"huh, you're right atsushi-kun.." dazai exclaimed, blinking as he and the others stared at you.

but ranpo raised a brow them, "you guys seriously don't remember the three-way war?"

"three-way war?" kunikida tilted his head only for him to realize it, along with everyone, "!!!"

"i'm [surname] [name]. it's a pleasure to meet you, armed detective agency," you introduced yourself with a slight bow and a friendly smile.

"huh, i do remember seeing you during the guild war. as a matter of fact, we all did. you were there, saving everyone from the onslaught of the mind control ability that had gotten out of hand and rescuing civilians left and right," kunikida furrowed his brows.

"now that kunikida-san has mentioned it [name]-san, you were the one who saved me when i was being attacked while delivering the doll to dazai-san. you made me a forcefield and enhanced my speed with your psychic energy manipulation ability," atsushi recalled.

during the guild war, everyone remembered a young woman with [color] hair who had the ability to manipulate red psychic energy. although it was unclear whether the woman was on the guild's side or not, she had assisted numerous citizens and ability users during the incident. you played an important role in the yokohama incineration.

"ah, that? you guys flatter me too much! it wasn't a big deal. i just like to accompany and help out my boyfriend and people who need it with my wiggly-woos, that's all," you exclaimed, giggling and waving your fingers in the air.

with the exception of ranpo, who already knew the information, the armed detective agency members responded with a series of surprised looks and gasps.

"you're poe-san's significant other?!" atsushi proclaimed before bowing his head, "ah, i'm so sorry [name]-san! i didn't know!"

"mhm!" as you hummed and nodded in agreement, poe was shy by how everyone was reacting. poe blushed and turned away, holding your sleeve instead of your hand.

"well, that's.. certainly a big revelation.." dazai stated, blinking profusely.

"you guys are really idiots. idiots i say!" ranpo sighed, folding his arms across his chest, "how can [name]-chan not be poe-kun's significant other? just look at the way he sticks to her and holds her sleeve!"

"h-how are you the same person you were during the three-way war?" tanizaki asked, his sweat dripping as he remembered you being terrifying with the way your eyes and fingertips glowed red with power, your hair flowing in the breeze as you floated in the middle of the sky, and a serious expression on your face.

"what do you mean?" you tilted your head in confusion, laughing a little at his comment.

everyone was dumbfounded by your cluelessness, their sweat even dropping.

"i agree with you. sometimes my darling can be so clueless at how powerful and strong she can be with her ability," poe sighed, shaking his head as he handed his new manuscript to ranpo, "but regardless, i love [name]."

"heh, that's real sweet of you poe-kun," said ranpo before taking a look at his manuscript with a smile on his features.

[ author's notes ! you inspired me to take on scarlet witch! reader x bungo stray dogs characters, so don't apologize. i also think the request was good, so yeah !! i also think you're right. there isn't much bsd! poe content in here, so let me fix that for you by adding a new one on the list out here hihi. thank you so much. hope you enjoyed reading this <3 ]

[amomentwiser]

The levels to my social ineptitude are astounding.

Like the way I just stand there and radiate awkwardness. The way I just walk into rooms and change the entire atmosphere from one of easy camaraderie to shifty glances and suffocating silence.

Silence that is heavy but not breakable. The kind that is lets you hear water dripping from the leaky tap in the bathroom and makes you feel disruptive for daring to cough. The kind that amplifies each rustle of cloth as your arm brushes against your sides.

I try very hard to be calm and poised and just have the body language of a confident adult, but sometimes -- like today -- I just can't help being a twitchy, wide eyed gremlin. Just a ball of nerves. Skittish, fidgety, prickly.

In all my human interactions today all I did was wring my hands and studiously avoid eye contact.

I thought I was over this, but apparently not. Why must I behave this way.

Which Hearing Aid Best Serves Severe Hearing Loss?

There are many degrees of hearing loss. They usually range from mild, moderate, severe to profound. To determine the severity of hearing loss the patient has, audiologists usually conduct a hearing test. Hearing impairment can be identified by checking the quietest level of sounds the person can hear. It is usually evaluated in decibels.

What is severe hearing loss?

Severe hearing loss is when you hear loud sounds and need amplification to hear most every day and normal sounds. You cannot hear conversation or speech at normal volume. It means you are unable to hear sounds below 60 dB, which is the sound of a normal conversation. Patients with severe loss usually struggle to communicate in their everyday life.

Generally, it occurs due to a birth defect, illness or injury. Age, loud noises, ear infections, perforated eardrum, tumors, and medications are all conditions that can lead to it. It happens unexpectedly or over the course of years. The patient usually resorts to visual information such as body language or facial expressions to fill the gaps and understand what’s being said. Lip-reading is used to understand what other people are saying. Very loud sounds, such as a car horn, would not astound the patient the same way as it would to a person with normal hearing. Many patients withdraw from their social lives because the feel embarrassed to ask their friends and family to repeat what they are saying over and over again.

Do hearing aids help?

Hearing aids are electronic or battery- operated devices or machines that can change sound and amplify it. A microphone receives the sound and change it to sound waves, which are later converted into electrical signals.

The severity of hearing loss has a huge impact on the type of hearing aids. This is why getting tested and identifying the level of hearing loss will help the patient and the audiologist choose the right hearing aid type that best suits the needs of the patient.

Hearing aids for severe hearing loss are known as “power hearing aids”. They are slightly larger than other hearing aids, and patients usually wear them behind the ear with a custom molded material that connects the ear canal to the hearing instrument. Sound travels from the hearing aid into the ear.

When patients are diagnosed with severe hearing loss, they directly worry about wearing bulky and awkward hearing aids. However, smaller hearing aids have been developed, making them less obvious and effective at the same time.

Audiologists usually make sure that the sound is loud enough, so the patients hear it, but not extremely loud it damages their natural hearing. They take into consideration how much power it offers and its circuitry.

Which type of hearing aid is the most recommended?

Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids, known as Bluetooth- enabled hearing aids, are one of the highest considerations for patients with severe hearing loss. They are larger because of the need for them to be louder. The battery is bigger to provide extra energy to make noises louder. All of this is required because they need to increase the volume much more than those suffering from less severe forms of hearing loss. Because it is the largest option, it is particularly recommended for children and old people. They need large devices that are easy to handle and are more capable of increasing the amplification.

What features to search for?

There are many features to consider when your hearing loss is severe. You should choose a hearing aid that proposes great amplification without any feedback, detects high pitched sounds, and has a strong battery life. They can connect to different forms of technology through wireless connection, giving the patient a great sense of control on the amount of sound. They have upgraded features where you can connect and stream directly from your radio, phone, TV or tablet. Most of them are rechargeable.

Many types of hearing aids are found. How can you know what is best for you? You start by knowing the level of hearing loss to understand which hearing aid best suits you. It is very important to diagnose severe hearing loss and treat it. Your audiologist will help you choose based on your specific needs. The earlier you diagnose it and treat it, the better your life will be and the more you stay involved in your society.

What even is Asexuality? 8/23/22

I thought I would write this blog more often, but I feel like I’m avoiding it. I’ve always been a very introspective person, but solidifying these thoughts in writing is intense. Just reading my first post from ~4 months ago is astounding to me already. I did quit my job. It’s been about 2 months since I quit actually, but story for another time.  I found a group of people online recently that I already feel really close with. It’s actually absurd how engaging this group is. Everyone participates actively, we all share a lot of common interests, we share a common sense of humor, I’ve really never seen anything like it before. It feels like we’ve all been lifelong friends already in a very short amount of time. I’m already planning to meet up with some of them IRL even though it’s only been a month or so that we made this little community.

This group is VERY queer (out of about 20 people I don’t think there’s a single het person) and while I’ve been a part of groups with queer people and participated in communities, this one is very different from what I’m used to. I’d say they are actually more sexual than even some of the most horny cishet people I know and it’s really got me thinking about my sexuality. I’ve identified as ace for about 10 years now and it’s just so hard to wrap my head around.  Reproduction is a requirement for a species to remain extant, but man it’s really crazy how much of our world revolves around sex. I thought being a part of this queer community would feel different than being around a group of cishet friends, but nah. If anything, queer people seem to oversexualize themselves. I can kinda see where this comes from, but being ace it’s hard to relate to.  It feels like either het or queer there’s a huge amount of bonding conversations and experiences that I simply cannot relate to on any level due to this. It’s even harder because like...how do I even define myself in that way? I’ve had this conversation a few times, and for anyone else, it seems like you just throw yourself into the ring and figure it out. In high school I sorta did this, I dated a few girls (and had one very embarrassing deep conversation with a guy) and came out the other side realizing I was simply not strongly attracted to anyone. However, my sexual development ends there. A few weak kisses, a little petting, and that’s all I’ve gotten or given. 

10 years later I’ve never really been physically intimate with anyone to any degree. Personally, it’s not an issue. I’m indifferent to it all. Socially however, it’s a huge gaping void in my experiences that I simply can’t engage with other people about. The conversation starts and ends with “Actually, I’m ace.”  “Dude, check her out. Isn’t she super hot? Should I give it a shot?”  “I don’t know, I’m ace.” “oh.” It’s self excluding in a way. Once I define myself as ace to the people around me, there’s just no expectations of conversation from me for anything appearance related. I’ve started to focus on fashion and bright colors more just so that I can outwardly express I do still care about aesthetics, because if I don’t everyone just assumes that as the ace guy my thoughts on appearances are somewhere in the ballpark of exclusive Soviet brutalism (I do actually really like brutalism tho).  I was an awkward kid so I pride myself on where I am now. I’m pretty socially capable, able to hold conversations on anything, make people laugh, make and keep good friends, etc. So it really bothers me that I have zero romantic charm or conversational abilities in this category. In fact, these two things have backfired on me multiple times. I’ve been accused of leading on or ‘tricking’ women because what I thought were friendly jokes and conversations were to them flirting and signaling I was interested. As soon as I mention I’m ace it goes from close friendliness to polite acquaintance, or worse, outright anger.  I’m not even strongly ace! Maybe if I was so sex repulsed it was part of my personality it could lead to some sort of conversation or relatability. I just simply don’t care either way though. Sex seems like fun, physical intimacy seems nice, I just don’t really think about it or care about it enough to pursue it. Looking into the ace community itself hasn’t really helped either. There are a bunch of microlabels and really specific details about each ‘type’ of ace and all these close personal ties to their sexual identity. Personally, I see all of sex as “If you are attracted to the person, then give it a shot” and I never gave it much thought beyond that. I’m in the ace umbrella for sure but I’ve never tried to consider if I’m grey or demi or aro or whatever. Is there an apathetic sexual? Do I even care?  The point is, there’s this essential human experience that everyone cares about whether they hate it or love it, except for me.  Any sexual energy I would have is directed towards other things instead. This creates what feels like a social gap between me and the rest of humanity. I’m not even sure how I would actually define myself to someone else in this way.  All these thoughts stem from the fact that I’m meeting up with a woman from that queer group to go to a concert. It’s just me and her, and I already know she’s interested in me. I’ve never had someone come on to me this strong before. I’ve already told her I’m ace and she said in that case we should keep the concert friendly then, which sounds good to me. In our conversations though, she’s still giving me a totally different vibe. It’ll be just the two of us, at a night concert, laying on the venue lawn, watching Sublime sing Caress Me Down or something. It’s like a setup out of a movie for a romantic event, and I have no idea how to navigate it. I’m not against a relationship with her, but I think I’d probably disappoint her with both my level of experience and desire, or she’d be too aggressive for my own comfort. I also really really value her friendship, and I’m scared of ruining that or even potentially having this affect my relationship with this community as a whole. At the same time, I don’t want to just show up and be a plank of wood sitting next to her the whole time. Most importantly, I’m just a full-on dumbass in this category. Besides not experiencing attraction in the same way as the rest of the world, I also don’t have that mindset. I totally miss innuendo all the time, I’ve had women set up what I thought were friendly hangouts with me just to realize they wanted a date or something out of it. I’ve lost friends over this sort of thing before. I’m a very confidant and self-assured person, but I have zero confidence in anything I do in this regard.  At the end of the day, I’m open to trying anything once, and I’m still young. Hopefully I’ll be able to look back on this post and laugh at how overblown I made everything, rather than looking back and seeing signs of future crises. My personal belief is that as long as I am always honest with myself and everyone around me about exactly how I’m feeling, most things will turn out alright. I just have to keep believing in that. I have more to say on the matter but this post is already absurdly long so I’ll cut it off here. Good luck out there, the world is crazy.

Cuddling With SuperM

↳ ❤︎ CARO’S NOTE: their concept is all about badassery i know but we’re dealing with seven angels so let’s talk about that shall we

warnings ⚠️ some light teasing, innuendo

length: 1.5k

taeyong

am i really telling you something ground-breaking with this:

so this guy’s truly adorable

turns into a baby what else is new

draws his knees to his chest and just enjoys the ride with his eyes closed

you can do whatever the hell you want

back rubs, head pats, foot massages, caressing the neck or underneath the chin which is particularly sweet

and a whole lot of tickling he’s kinda obsessed with this

excellent chef he is, taeyong enjoys preparing snacks for a set cuddling time or movie night

so what if this turns into feeding each other basically are you ready for that

this guy’s impossible face up close is hard to bear for the faint-hearted just mentioning that in passing here

because… he has that one yearning expression and his eye contact is very steady

bit of a duality here huh

but worry not because taeyong’s tiger inside is more of a cat actually, tyongkitty behavior guaranteed right there

he does do friendly head buts and yeah the eye contact is also a cat thing now that i think about it… it all makes sense now

ten, baekhyun, lucas and taemin are pretty cocky types of cuddlers, taeyong leads the more subdued fraction in super m

it’s the kind of cuddling that needs rainy weather and a cup of tea

ten

quality time right here

banter is always included ofc

or at least a lot of talk because with ten, conversation and cuddles go together

likes pets joining, three’s a party, a cat can always make a snuggly contribution

add a ball of wool to play around

like. a-you, a-me, and a cat right in between ya see

music is always playing in the background, always

ten’s body is very sensual… you can tell he’s a dancer by the way he’s adapting, how he’s feeling it, how he moves in general

the reflexes are just so different he has great feeling for what you wanna do next it’s his bodily intuition and he just goes along with it

what you gotta tell him though is to keep it lowkey with keeping his jazzy outfits on

a hoodie cuddles better than high fashion and spiked jackets

plus he looks adorably small in it so two birds with one stone

never forget ten is really tiny that sure makes a difference

reluctant little spoon, he keeps it face-to-face or sleeps on his back

ten is glad to be approached with hugs he’s not always doing the initiative

shy thailand angel ikr

but don’t complain if he farts because he absolutely will

goddammit chittaphon

kai

if it’s without a plushie something’s going wrong it always needs one

his favorite teddy’s gotta participate y’know he’s a social creature

in this home we don’t discriminate against plush bears

and yeah, his bear ear hoodie likewise he is sure to put it on

jongin tends to be rather taciturn because he wants to enjoy the body-to-body sensations

meaning, don’t interpret his frequent silence as awkwardness he’s just observing

is not above teasing… if his outfit is showing some skin he’ll invite you to touch the area

also enjoys you putting your hands under his sweater

he’s laughing like crazy and kicking his legs all giggly if you put your head underneath it and let it roam oh la la

yeah nini likes some wit to it for sure, and some steaminess in the mix it’s just a natural byproduct if we’re honest

dim the lights down low for this one…

but also light the candles alright

cuddling is more of a soft and steady thing there’s not much position changes going on

this is the couch not the dancefloor your honor

while we’re talking about that: jongin is a buff biatch my god

prep a water bottle to chug when you’re cuddling this guy is effortlessly hot

also know that kai will almost definitely snap a picture of you huddled together for the memory of it

baekhyun

unlike his memes, baekhyun’s cuddling behaviour is entirely predictable

will snuggle against your shoulder by default pretty much that’s his favorite area

stays glued there for two hours if you’re not busy

im not kidding

needless to say he needs a partner who can handle this level of clinginess

baekhyun can’t keep his hands to himself in general

neither can you

it’s groping x cuddling these two are a dead sure combination

keen to snuggle casually while he’s gaming, cross-legged on the ground with you massaging his back

likes to lay his head into your lap, too.

baekhug i mean back hug enthusiast. something inside his face has an inbuilt magnet that sucks him into the space between your collar bones

especially when you’re at the stove cooking

caution: love bites. lots of them. does this count as cuddles? probably. it’s not like he’s eating you or is he. oop—

what am i saying all he does is nibble alright

and oh yeah bring on the sweater weather. he can’t stay still in bed it’s gonna be a pillowfort building session though

you gotta exhaust him until he naps off lmao!

energizer bunny bf

mark

enjoys being fed watermelon during the process how else could it be

wait until this guy hears what harry styles’ watermelon sugar is all about his world will never be the same again

anyway

he’ll look so cute in his striped shirt and his round glasses awh

cuddling is his favorite way to show his trust and affection before all else

his favorite time to cuddle is before going to sleep

he usually hugs pillows so you can tell how clingy he winds up as

mark really sleeps and dreams better if you do that it has an astounding effect. cuddles are his perfect recharging if you will it’s just that he’s actually calming down through it whereas he can be nervous throughout the day so he needs that downtime

spooning is a given

what he enjoys the most about it is the warmth

markie easily gets cold sometimes he just needs that tune-up with you he’s like blink blink there goes my dose of daily heat beep beep

what the fuck

anyway again

talk about tune

just like ten he’s very talkative all the way verbal stimulation and mark lee just go together

if you compare him to taeyong there’s not much of a transformation going on mark lee on two legs is the same mark lee during cuddles it’s all copy paste

all in all a delectable experience, extremely cute and heart-melting, super m truly has a super mark

taemin

much like xuxi he has that permanent smile on his lips that tries to make you laugh

in fact taemin is hard to stop with his puns and his humor

ffs he is a true brat

taems can’t help but try to escalate this into a playfight every time

not that he doesn’t enjoy the calmer types of cuddling but he needs some action in the sack

enjoys praise along the way who are we kidding

the clothes you both cuddle in are very important alright, the fabric in particular

taemin keeps it expensive here it’s just the way he rolls

satin my dear

it’s just so satisfying to the touch

but also beware of his most lethal clothing choice which brings out his innate maknae charm the most

THE FLUFFY TURTLENECK

gyeahh

which he will use during special occasions to turn you into a cuddle monster ready to pounce him

give it up for shinee my loves they taught him well and sent him out to fluff up the world

what else is there okay we also gotta mention that cuddling consists of many little kisses here and there

taemin wants to get absolutely peppered

he is and stays a prince

lucas

ideal body type for cuddling except that it needs the right place, not the environment but the spot i mean, you can imagine

lucas can explode any smol-size couch or bed

don’t even think about trying to cuddle on regular chairs my god why would you live so dangerously

king size por favor

there is a lot to cuddle against it’s really a whole wonderland

those big ole thighs are practical cushions for anything really.

and his face is just so amicable it has to be kithed

his hands… his hands! you will feel maximum protection with those giant baby fingers around your hips i’m telling you

admittedly yukhei is hard to properly hug around the shoulders obviously that’s a drawback but hey his waist is lithe and tiny so hello there, very inviting

oh, that infectious smile.

serious cuddling: 0 — funny cuddles: over 9,000

and tasty cuddles because foodcas brings some fried rice every time oh yum

hates to go to work he really prioritizes you and cuddles go on for long long hours especially when you watch your favorite series

xuxi goes the extra mile, he will touch your hair a lot, just gently combing through it

and he doesn’t mind it when you do the same, he’s got the most angelic blonde locks after all

lu calls you beautiful all the time the cheesy mf is really pulling the standard compliment alright

cue jonas brothers sucker for you

ugh, boyfriend

mlist

I really loved Fahrenheit 101!! I relate so much to hot Jon. While I'm definitely not hot, I too am super dumb/obvious and have had an uncomfortably large number of people fall in love with me. I can definitely agree with Jon on this: it's a curse! And very traumatic. Anyway I loved the fic so fucking much and relate to your Jon on a spiritual level. Thanks for sharing.

THAT WAS RELATABLE TO SOMEONE? THAT, OF ALL THINGS, SOMEONE KINNED? HAHAHAH

But yeah, this is so hyperspecific, but a friend of mine was very much the local lesbian who helped other baby lesbians into the gay world, and while they were close friends and younger sister figures to her they all developed crushes on her. And it made her so uncomfortable sometimes, she was sick of it. 

(”Don’t worry,” I said to her, “I’ll never fall in love with you.” “Thanks,” she said, not sounding that thankful.)

But that’s especially awkward as both someone very socially oblivious and as a sex-repulsed ace person, right? When you’re attractive people tend to view you more as a sexual object (especially for women), but when you’re actively repulsed by the idea of being seen as a sexual person it’s extremely uncomfortable. And when you didn’t realize the entire time, suddenly it feels like you were on two very different pages about the friendship. It’s pretty tough. 

And I imagine it has to be even worse for Jon specifically, because he’s naturally very abrasive and rude, so from his perspective people keep on wanting to be friends with him for reasons that have nothing to do with who he is as a person, and then once they do find out who he is as a person (and once they realize that he’ll always turn them down) they bounce. Guy has abandonment issues for so many reasons and this is probably a part of it.

Hahahaha but the REAL reason this is the case is because I keep making an off-hand joke (hot jon funny) and then I actually have to think through the implications of the joke and then develop an entire character around it and then develop a character arc around it and at the end of the day the entire now very complicated idea is really fucking funny and -

Anyway. Thank you. I have not really had this problem (I’ve had a few people, but they all only informed me long, long after the fact because they were close enough to me to know that they had no chance), so I was really shooting in the dark about the most weird problem imaginable, so I’m astounded that it landed with someone with that actual experience. That’s so funny. Thank you. 

[raygirlramblings]

It’s astounding how many of the issues in Komi-San Can’t Communicate would be solved by complete strangers minding their own damn business.

I mean, I get her classmates being nosey weirdos because they’re a bunch of hormonal teens and she’s with them every day, but people on the street stopping what they’re doing to stare at her and pass comment like ‘wow is she a supermodel!?’ or ‘‘Why isn’t she talking to that man she’s sitting with, did they have a fight?’ is straight up ridiculous (yeah I know the show is a comedy and this is played to push the awkwardness.)

Perhaps the message we should take away from the show, aside from ‘people with communication issues/social anxiety deserve to be treated with understanding and attempts to communicate on their comfort level’, should be ‘don’t idolise people you don’t know personally’ or ‘don’t be an intrusive creep to complete stranger’s lives and stay in your lane, moron’.

Lewis just got his 7th title. I'm happy for him.

Me too. What Lewis has done is so almost incomprehensibly titanic, in any sport, that it feels like something that needs contextualising again and again.

It’s easy, if you remember Lewis in the hybrid era, in Mercedes, since Rosberg left - whatever the recency is that creates the illusion it’s almost straightforward for him to perform at this extraordinary level - to minimise his achievements, even if you don’t intend to. Lewis now is a force of nature so impossible to rival that it wouldn’t really matter if you gave everyone GP3 cars and told them to go, the rest of the field would just be closer together behind him. 

I am, as Tumblr constantly likes to remind me, very old - nearly as old as Lewis himself - so I remember him arriving in the junior formulas and hoping that he’d get to F1. He was goofy and nerdy and awkward and a bit of a gamer - actually way more like Lando than you’d believe, in retrospect but he had this burning, furious defiance that he was going to get there and win. Because that was what he needed, to overcome the barriers and my god, there were a lot of people openly saying what they try to at least code these days, back then.

Lewis when he was young was a Verstappen-esque firecracker of teammate beef. I don’t know that anyone other than maybe Max could have taken on Alonso, at that point, in his junior year - he’d destroy Nelson Piquet Jr, despite all his weight of racing heritage, the next - and it took a level of pretended self-assurance that I don’t think Lewis had, then, at all.

He’d proven himself all the way up, was still proving it. Licking his and McLaren’s wounds, meekly apologising after the end of the spygate scandal he’d had nothing to do with while Fernando pranced off from the smouldering remnants, there were plenty of people who were so pleased to see Lewis humbled. 

He took the championship, instead. Which made a lot of people very angry, despite really it only being Felipe Massa who had a right to be. It was very underrated, in the British press; made more striking because Jenson Button’s win, the following season, really wasn’t and the ludicrous bar that Lewis would have to jump to prove himself was moved again.

Not just good enough for F1. Not just good enough to take on a two-time champion. Not just good enough to become a champion himself in his second season. Lewis was regarded as a sort of curious celebrity most people barely considered an athlete or British, in the press.

He’s never gone a single season without winning a race. Even in dog cars, biding his time for an opportunity. Olden times McLaren was a different, dysfunctional beast to the one Andreas Seidl has somehow steered back to success and especially the Dennis era was run with a pretty iron fist* so it wasn’t necessarily somewhere the drivers had much ability to steer developing the car and you can see how badly that affected them in the KERS and ERS era. 

Comparatively, joining Mercedes, Lewis walked into an opportunity where instead of having to furiously fight for that, he could work on it as a project for the whole team. People really underestimate how hard he works, in terms of factory hours and how it wasn’t always the fastest car. 

The team pitted him and Nico against each other to force the project forwards and that turned into a destructive mess, backfiring on them quite badly. It’s probably the worst call Mercedes have made, in their modern F1 existence, although a cynic would say: it worked.

Yes, they trod a line of near-implosion for years that was only steadied by Nico’s retirement but they became, unquestionably, the best, in the inter-garage arms race. Lewis didn’t necessarily become a better driver in the sense of having more brilliant race craft for it but things like qualifying laps, at which he is now without doubt the GOAT, became so crucial that he learned to take on more and more feedback from engineers without ever forgetting it. 

When they tell them, on the radio, that their teammate is finding more speed through corner X and braking later - and they’ll show them more detailed telemetry - then Lewis can, like any driver, take that on and do it. But he can also make hundreds of micro-adjustments per lap without ever forgetting them or dropping one - again, they all can do it, sometimes, perfectly but he just doesn’t ever not. 

Since 2016 he’s been able to grow as a driver without being in the pressure-cooker of mind games with his teammate and that shows, too. A more outward-looking, globally-focussed Lewis, a Lewis who’s more comfortable sharing elements of himself, treating himself less like an industrial espionage project.

(some irony, for a man who started his career amidst spy gate)

If Lewis was a white boy from a millionaire or billionaire family, his achievements in sporting terms would still be staggering. He’s neither of those things, so they’re placed on a different scale.

It is now, even for the most racist, the most close-minded alleged fan of the sport, impossible to deny that he has the records on paper. They can’t take away the seven titles and 94 wins, no matter how they try to minimise them. The bar that was constantly set higher has been met and exceeded and a driver who, for a lot of years, looked set to be a one-off champion whose brilliance could be more easily swept away as a footnote to diversity, has become the benchmark against whom other achievements can be measured. 

That Lewis did that despite the odds against him? The racists won’t see that and sadly can and do try to deny it but that is a world-changing, sport-transforming moment that’s been a decade-and-a-half in the making, since F1 started looking achievable for him. 

Lewis has nothing left to prove, so all that furious energy he’s used for years to get this will take other outlets - he still, after all, as everyone, has a lot to change. I am so excited to get to work in the sport during this era, to see what kind of transformative effects he’ll have, has already had. The work shouldn’t be on Lewis and mustn’t be on him alone but you do absolutely fucking love to see it getting done.

Anyway, I’m so proud of him. I’m so astounded by the skill and focus - the relentless pursuit that’s driven him all this time and that isn’t diminished at all by having got here. I truly believe Lewis is gonna carry on awhile yet and it’s fucking exciting just to think about what we’re going to witness this short-ass nerd kid who looked kind of sulky and defensive in press conferences for years do.

(and, of course, the first driver accused of being a social media poseur who didn’t pay enough attention to the sport. Plus ca change...)

*This is a really petty example but you had to wear a tie if you went to MTC, as a visiting journalist, in the beforetime.

Can I have a nsfw scenario for Giyuu and his s/o? When he thought that his s/o was killed by a demon but it turned out not. He is too afraid so he just want to spend time with his s/o

Here ya go nonnie! Enjoy the smut! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Word count: 5.2k+

WARNING: NSFW AHEAD!

Giyuu wouldn't forget the day when both of you were sent on a mission, he thought that you were defeated by the demon and died due to the fact that he saw your haori lying on the ground and drenched with blood. Giyuu felt his body falling apart by just thinking of you being devoured by a demon. The Water pillar began urgently looking for you and he prayed that his adverse thoughts were just assumptions of his – only a deception.

Heart hammering tremendously, cold sweats trickling on his neck and breathing became heavy, he doesn't care if he's going to be lost in the middle of the unknown dark forest. The only thing that was swirling in his head was to find you safe and sound. He knows that you won't be defeated that easily even if you're not a pillar yourself, at least your strength was still in the higher ranks.

As he runs through the forest, and he paused in his tracks when he spotted a body blended with blood ahead of him. Giyuu didn't waste a second to aid the unknown person, however, when the figure was becoming more lucid in his eyes, his orbs opened ever so widely when he recognised your (length) (colour) hair and the hair clip that he gave you on your birthday.

Dashing towards you, he immediately carried you in his arms when he saw your unconscious body. He checked your wrist and sensed the little beating of your pulse, indicating that you're still alive making his eyes glimmer with hope.

"(Name), please don't die on me," he coaxes and kisses you on the forehead before heading towards the Butterfly estate to treat your severe wounds.

Seeing you with cuts all over your body and blood gliding on your head, he felt his heart wrenched painfully and gritted his teeth since he couldn't handle seeing you being beaten up like this. Ever since you two became a couple, he was always there with you and would never leave your side in order to protect you. It's not that he doesn't trust your strength as a demon hunter, he just doesn't want the worst thing to transpire to you and he wouldn't let someone special to him slip away from him again.

He already lost his beloved sister and his friend Sabito, he couldn't handle the excruciating pain again and he doesn't want to encounter it anymore. He's done with anyone dying on him, he's done being miserable. That's why he doesn't know what he's going to do if you ever die on him, you're the only reason why he still keeps on living and breathing. So if you die... he doesn't know what to do anymore.

A month passed and you're now fully healed, thanks to Shinobu, Aoi and the three girls who were taking care of you, especially to your boyfriend who never left your side even for a minute. He was the who's feeding you, aiding you to stand up and walk, guiding you to the bathroom, getting the things that you needed and moreover, he never passed a day without caressing your hands like he doesn't have any intention of letting it go. Giyuu would casually kiss your forehead before drifting to sleep.

Now that you can do whatever you want and not bedridden anymore. Giyuu and you started to return from your household and rest there for two weeks. The Water pillar asked for Oyakata-sama's permission to give you both a week-off since Giyuu wanted you to be in perfect shape to be on a mission again, also, he doesn't want to leave your side because he was terrified of the possible outcomes that might befall to you while he's not around.

Thankfully, Oyakata-sama granted the ravenette's wishes and let you two have a week-off. So today, you were inside your shared home while drinking a tea that your boyfriend had prepared for both of you.

A peaceful atmosphere inundates the room as you wordlessly sipped on your tea while the Water pillar was staring at your every movement.

Sensing the piercing eyes of your boyfriend, you looked at him then smiled.

"Giyuu, you're making me uncomfortable because of your stare," you giggled to which the said man snapped out from his daze.

"I'm just... I'm just happy that you're perfectly fine now..." he utters then began to sip on his tea. Smiling widely at your boyfriend, you rose to your feet and went beside him to give him a hug.

"I'm sorry if I worried you too much, Giyuu... I won't die, I promise that to you so don't overthink, okay?" You soothingly said and slowly cupped his cheeks then momentarily, drawing circles on his smooth cheeks. Giyuu also held your hands resting on his face and rubs your knuckles.

"How could I not overthink? You're special to me, (Name). You do know that I don't want to happen to you just like what happened to my sister and Sabito. I don't want to experience it again by losing someone important to me. I don't know what I will do... if I lose you, (Name)..." his voice cracked in the midst of his sentence and wrapped his arms around you before leaning his head on your shoulder.

You felt like your heart was being stabbed by thousands of knives just by seeing Giyuu being so vulnerable. Also, what surprised you is that Giyuu was being vocal to his words, knowing that he's a socially awkward man and not good at communicating with everyone. You weren't used of the Water pillar being like this since you know how strong this man is and would never waver. Well, truth be told, you would sometimes see him falter whenever you'd cook him his favourite food which is the salmon daikon.

"Giyuu, love, look at me," you prompted to which your boyfriend voluntarily obeyed you and stare into your (colour) irises.

"I love you so much, Giyuu. I'm not going to die, I'll live love with you, understand?" Brushing his tanned cheeks, you propelled your face towards him and once your lips were a centimeter apart, you attached your lips onto his chapped ones.

The Water pillar gladly responded to your kisses and slid his hands to your jaw and pulling you to him to deepen the kiss.

"I love you too, (Name)," he says then returns to kiss you once again.

You felt your heart beating fast as the atmosphere between you two was becoming heated. Although you've been together for two years, you both still haven't tried to move into the next level of being in a relationship. Well, you would be lying if you didn't sometimes envision how Giyuu would touch your body and do sexual things with him.

Just remembering him how your bodies will become one and make love to him, you feel your body's temperature rising up and wrapped your arms around his neck to have an ardent kiss between you and your boyfriend.

Giyuu noticed how your kiss turned sloppy and how you grabbed a handful of his hair making him groan into the kiss. The Water pillar pulled away with a string of saliva connected in between your mouths.

Giyuu's breathing went ragged same goes for you. The ravenette merely watched you with wide eyes as for you, you looked at him with a wanton gaze while your cheeks were dusted in red. Giyuu was stunned, he didn't know how he will react after the avid kiss you both shared.

"Giyuu..." you purred as you crawled towards him and smell the addictive scent of your boyfriend on his neck. "Can we do it tonight?" You asked.

Giyuu was clueless at first but after processing your words, his jaw instantly dropped and looked at you with skepticism.

"(Name)... we can't... I want to do it when we get married..." Giyuu said but you can recognise the hesitation laced in his tone. You know that Giyuu was turned on at the scene earlier so you wouldn't back off right now specifically that you couldn't handle the heat leaching in your body.

"Please Giyuu... I love you so much, I want to make love to you..." lifting your head, you hold the back of his neck and crashed your lips onto his.

The Water pillar was astounded at your bold act. He didn't know that you're hiding this kind of attitude that he hadn't faced before. When you bit his lower lip, the quiet boy parted his lips which you swiftly shoved your tongue inside his mouth and explored his wet cavern. Giyuu doesn't know what to do but halfway, he followed your movements and mimic your action by shoving his wet muscle in your mouth.

You let out a groan when Giyuu started to explore your mouth, fighting for dominance.

The heat was starting to rise on both of you and your rationality was becoming foggy like the mist covering the vast mountain. You two were now clouded by concupiscence and you two couldn't stop yourself anymore. You two didn't want to stop this momentum and let the lust consume your whole being.

The Water pillar grabbed your waist and placed you on top of his lap. You can feel the bulge growing on his pants grazing on your clothed womanhood. Subconsciously, you sit on the tent on his crotch causing Giyuu to groan because of the friction of your clothed sex on his. You started to grind to give more friction and let out a lewd moan in between your kisses.

It feels so good for you, you didn't know that doing this kind of sensual things would actually feel this good. It feels like you were in euphoria and your mind was lingering of one thing: you want to feel Giyuu inside of you.

Since you couldn't keep the heat anymore, you retracted your lips and desperately ripped off the clothes of Giyuu. Your boyfriend was shocked at your desperate attempt and after removing his upper clothes, you started to discard your (pattern) kimono and let yourself be naked in front of your boyfriend.

Giyuu adoringly gawked at your curvy body, studying your features and stared at the perked nipples of your breast down to your stomach and your clothed womanhood.

"Hey, Giyuu, make love to me, baby," you seductively whispered in his ear and teasingly bite his earlobe. This causes Giyuu to let out a shaky moan and feel his member twitching against your womanhood.

That was enough reason to make him riled up and you triumphantly smirked when he started to kiss you again with more passion. He pulled back and started giving you light kisses on your jaw, down to your neck and started to lick your throat.

"Giyuu..." you grunted while eyes were shut.

Your boyfriend began to caress your mounds as he nibbles the patches of your skin, searching for your weak spot. You only moan loudly when your boyfriend had finally found it and didn't waste a second to suck it and nip it. You let your head tilt to the side to give him full access which Giyuu took the hint and mercilessly sucked your smooth skin. Hearing you moan that loud, it was certainly a sweet melody to his ears.

The Water pillar didn't expect that this intimate session with you would be this early. He expected that you two were going to do these kinds of things when you two were finally married. However, the intense desire that was crawling in your existence was giving the two of you an adequate reason to step to the next level and let yourself be overwhelmed by your desires you both were craving for.

Shameful or not, truth be told that Giyuu was also having fantasies of you. Wondering what kind of body do you hide underneath your demon hunter uniform and kimono, you don't know how it drives him crazy every time you would run your fingers through your hair, how will you place it on the side to which he can perfectly see your exposed neck that he surely wanted to bite. Also, you don't know how it turns him on whenever you'd kiss him fervently. It's just his mind would wander with lascivious thoughts of you and just wanted to pounce on you against the futon.

Now that his fantasies were coming true right now, he doesn't want to slip this opportunity and pleasure you with all he's got.

Once Giyuu was satisfied at giving you love bites on your neck, he began to trail soft kisses on your collarbone down to your cleavage and teasingly lick the side of your breasts.

"G-Giyuu..." the said man darted his eyes on you who's showing a lustful expression as your cheeks were brandished with pink hues.

Giyuu was feeling proud of himself catching the fact that he was doing a great job at pleasuring you. He didn't waste a second to grope your breasts that perfectly fit his hands well. It was so soft and he couldn't restrain himself to do further with you. Eliciting a lusty moan, Giyuu dipped down and started to lick your perky nipples then sucked it.

You gripped his hair as you relentlessly grinding your core against his erection. You heard the Water pillar groan at your action while he keeps on working with your erect buds. Slowly, you slid your hands on his toned back up to his shoulder blades.

The tension inside the dark room was becoming oppressive and hotter like the heat between you and Giyuu can rival the summer heat of June. You couldn't think reasonably due to the overwhelming heat surging within your being.

You let out a yelp when your boyfriend harshly sucked the skin of your breast as his other hand was incessantly massaging the other. You have no idea that Giyuu would lose his composure to his lust, you thought that he would be this virtuous man who will instantaneously decline your sinful needs but that was the contrary of what you had presumed. You didn't know that you triggered a string inside him that prevents him from doing it despite that he wants to do sexual stuff with you.

Lowering your head, you slide your wet muscle on Giyuu's jawline before giving it butterfly kisses. You feel the ravenette squirmed underneath you and slightly paused from his stimulation but in just a second, he went back to his business. While Giyuu was sucking your mounds, you also mimicked his action by sucking the skin of his neck and nibbled it. Searching for his sweet spot, Giyuu slightly whimpered at your doing then loudly groaned in between your breast when you finally found the spot you were looking for. You hastily sucked it and licked it until you saw the purple-ish mark on his neck.

Seeing the swollen skin, you smirked triumphantly, now that you marked your one and only man. Giyuu also stopped from sucking your breast and caught you off guard by pushing you on the tatami floor and hovered above you.

"(Name)... I can't take this anymore..." he murmured as he lowered down his head to lick your earlobe and nip it. You grunted at his bold attempt and guided his face to look at you.

"You can do anything you want to me, Giyuu. Do it baby."

Giyuu inhaled a sharp breath hearing that kinky name you called him but to be honest, he actually likes it when you're calling him that.

The Water pillar gave a soft kiss on your collarbones then he went lower and lower until his face was now in your abdomen. You squeezed your eyes closed when your boyfriend was now kissing your inner thighs and place your legs over his shoulders.

Giyuu licked your inner thighs and he can smell the sweet scent that was coming from your clothed core. He can see the wetness of your panties because of your work from grinding on his bulge a while ago. The ravenette glanced at your face that was contorted in anticipation. Giyuu snickered at the expression you were making and momentarily, he glided his long and slender finger on your slit. You squeaked when you felt his touch on your sex, you bit your lower lip to prevent yourself from moaning out loud but Giyuu's ministration on your lower region was hindering you from your plan.

Giyuu hastily plunges his pointer inside your core as you let out a slutty moan once you feel the water pillar's finger inside you. Giyuu's eyes were congested with pure lust and seeing you in a lewd state, he couldn't help but feel aroused and his cock was twitching inside his pants. This is the first time he feels these kinds of emotions and it really felt good to him.

"F-Faster Giyuu," you pleaded which the said man didn't waste a second to quicken his thrust into your womanhood.

Giyuu was impressed, feeling your walls tightening around his fingers. His lust was intensifying because of your moans and chant of his name. That being said, Giyuu's mind was consumed by his lust and subconsciously, he leaned into your leaking core, flicking your clit with his tongue.

The new feeling made you arched your back and gripped onto his hair, pulling him close into your pussy. You want more of Giyuu, you want him so much and you want him to feel your everything. Giyuu took this hint to insert his tongue inside your walls, this made you quiver and moaned loudly because of the sensation of his hot wet muscle inside you.

Giyuu's thumb was still working on your clit and holding your thighs to keep you still. His tongue was skilled enough to make you wail and wriggle under his hold. He lapped your wet folds as his teeth graze on your bundle of nerves before sucking it with his mouth. Letting out a screamish like moan, your insides were convulsing due to the stimulation of Giyuu on your womanhood. You can feel that you're reaching your limit and your boyfriend can already sense that you're nearing due to how your walls pressing his tongue and your hands gripping his hair.

"G-Giyuu..."

In his last suck of your folds, you arched your back and let out a screamish moan of Giyuu's name as the wave of pleasure washes over your body once you finally reached your climax. Your lover pulled back and lick his lips that was coated by your juices, it was sweet and salty but either way, Giyuu loves your taste and he would gladly admit that.

In spite of reaching your orgasm, the lust was still visible in your eyes and the same as Giyuu. You caught your breath as the Water pillar stared over your naked body to which his blue irises dilated in pure lechery.

Evoking a soft chuckle, you sat up from the tatami mat and swiftly cupped Giyuu's cheeks with a faint blush plastered on your cheeks.

"I love you, Giyuu... and I trust you." Your sweet voice replayed inside his mind as he examined your features as though you're the perfect example of his next experiment.

Giyuu was still a bit hesitant but witnessing those steady, unwavering eyes and full of resolve, he couldn't refuse your offer and let his face propelled towards you and gave you a chaste kiss.

You smiled upon having the knowledge of what Giyuu had finally decided. Staring into each other eyes for half a minute, the Water pillar gradually removes the last piece of his clothing which is his underwear. His manhood sprung free from its cage and your jaw instantly dropped once you saw Giyuu's treasure.

Giyuu's length has average size but really thick, you can notice a vein protruding on the base of his cock and his tip was leaking with his precum. You bite your lower lip and feel the nervousness lingering through your whole being, your eyes faltered and Giyuu noticed that. You only averted your gaze from your Water pillar boyfriend as your eyes were becoming watery due to how anxious you were. Truth be told that you're ready for this but your mind was lagging your resolve to do it, this will be your first time doing it and you're completely aware how hurtful it was when doing sexual intercourse.

Giyuu's eyes drooped once he fully processed that he terrified you and made you uncomfortable. You noticed how his shoulders leisurely drops as his line of sight were at the corner of the room and not looking at you. Now you felt guilty for making him feel bad.

Inhaling a deep breath, your hands softly caress Giyuu's which you successfully earned his attention. His eyes were a bit wide and looking at you with hesitance, but to you, you only flashed him a reassuring smile before nodding your head. You brought his hands on your face and kissed it with tenderness, that's when Giyuu's eyes broadened and lips fell slightly.

"I'm ready, Giyuu... I love you..."

Your smile gave him the resolve to do it and his worries instantaneously washed away. Letting go of Giyuu's hands and lying on the floor with your cheeks dusted with red tint as you stared at him with certain reassurance.

Giyuu gulped his saliva before nodding at you understandingly, exuding a handful of breath, you prepared yourself to feel your boyfriend's manhood grazing against your slick folds. Giyuu aligned the tip of his cock on your womanhood and you couldn't help but feel thrilled for some unidentified reason. Before Giyuu can enter his length, he takes a glance at you again to have your affirmation. Locking your eyes with his, you smiled at him and nodded your head.

Giyuu a bit hesitatingly entered his thick manhood inside you, your eyes hastily shuts as you can feel the stinging sensation on your lower region, your hands clawed on the tatami mat as Giyuu didn't move after that once he saw the pain expression covered your face.

"(N-Name)... I'm s-sorry--"

"I'm okay, Giyuu... just don't move... let me a-adjust," you breathlessly told him and Giyuu only bit his lower lip.

The pain still lingers and you're enduring the excruciating pain, you didn't know that Giyuu has a thick dick and you could feel how your walls were stretching because of it. The tears you're holding back had finally streamed down on your cheeks, Giyuu's eyes widened upon seeing you in tears and was about to pull away when you quickly grabbed his wrist to stop him.

"Don't..." you shook your head to which Giyuu begrudgingly complied to your wishes.

Minutes of adjusting to his length, you signaled your boyfriend to move and this makes him do what you had told him as you please. Slowly and gently thrusting into you, you can feel the stinging pain amplifying and you endured it by closing your eyes ever so tightly and biting your lower lip, you could even taste your blood coming from your lips.

Giyuu didn't leave his eyes on you and only stared at you while his breath was limited due to how your walls were squeezing his cock. You are so tight that he couldn't help himself but sink into his desires of you and let out a low groan. Hunger was evident in his eyes as his lust was becoming more apparent as well.

His thrust was undeniably slow, making you adjust yourself until you couldn't feel the pain anymore. His thick girth was breaking your walls as you can sense how it's tearing you apart like you're becoming into half. Giyuu's breath hitched once he fully dipped his length inside your sex and you stifled a moan once you felt that he finally buried his manhood into the depths of your womb. You both catch your breaths while beads of sweat were trickling down on your foreheads and your heavy breaths were the only sounds that you can hear. You gazed over at Giyuu whose cheeks were dusted in red hues while his eyes were intensely staring at you like a hawk eyeing its prey.

The Water pillar didn't move and just feel your walls clenching around his cock, it made his brain go vague and the heat surging through within him was consuming his logical thinking with overwhelming lust that he has for you. After minutes of what seemed like forever, you softly grabbed his hands to signal him that he can move. Giyuu scrutinises you for a second and upon seeing the reassurance within your eyes and smile, that's when he finally started to buck his hips in a tender and slow motion, not wanting to hurt you.

You elicit a soft moan once Giyuu was thrusting into you, at first you feel the pain and it's still lingering within your lower region, but as the seconds ticked and Giyuu was doing his best to make it slow for you and reassuring you that you won't feel any pain while doing it, that's when the pain had subsided and turned into pleasure.

Your breathing was ragged and breathlessly moaning as Giyuu's hips bucked into you while his hands were grabbing your waist, pushing and pulling his thick cock as it reaches the deepest part of your womb, he doesn't want anything left untouched and wants to feel everything the depths of you that he dearly loves. He doesn't want to slip this opportunity in his hands and will seize this moment and engrave it into his mind forever. You, who's undeniably gorgeous underneath him with an expression that everyone won't ever see except for him. How special can he get? A beautiful soul that suddenly engulfs his corrupted one and fixed him in his messy state, loved him without any condition and accept him for who he really is.

You're the only woman he would ever love to this extent.

"G-Giyuu... please m-move faster..." your desperate voice buzzed in his ears as his cock twitch at the sight of you, clearly clouded by lust and Giyuu couldn't help but drown himself with you as well.

The Water pillar complied to your wish and thrust into you slowly but little by little he's starting to slam into you at a quick pace. Giyuu grunted as the pleasure was starting to linger through his body as the slapping of your skins were resonating around the room. You let out a loud moan as Giyuu was precisely and roughly slamming his dick into you as if the Giyuu earlier who's soft and gentle before had eventually changed into a predator that wants to ravage your entire being.

You chant his name as if you're worshipping him, Giyuu relentlessly pounds into you while looking at you with half-lidded eyes, your eyes were closed, seemingly enjoying the momentous day where you had finally made love to Giyuu. Slowly opening your eyes, your (colour) orbs glowing into the dim room that your only source of light is the moonlight cascading through your window, Giyuu gorgeous deep blue orbs stared into yours as he gradually leaned towards to you until your faces were only an inch apart.

Your ragged breaths were hitting both of your noses as you looked into each other's eyes with desires apparent in your irises. Giyuu didn't stop thrusting into you and desperately wanting to feel the depths of your womb, momentarily, he latched his lips against yours and slips his tongue inside your mouth to twirl it with yours. A muffled groan escapes your mouth as Giyuu was giving you a hungry kiss and slamming into you vigorously, seemingly wanting to break you apart and lose your sanity to him.

You fight for dominance as your tongues danced inside your mouth, Giyuu's hands traversed to your hips, to your stomach until it reaches your breasts. You gasped when he once again fondled your breast with his big and rough hands while incessantly pounding into you. You envelop your legs around his waist and so does your arms around his neck, pulling him closer to you to deepen the kiss. Your kiss was becoming slushy same to his thrusts, it was desperate and stern, vigorous as he searched for the spot to reach your climax.

Suddenly, you can feel a knot forming in your abdomen, realising that you're finally reaching your peek, you also feel Giyuu's cock twitched inside you, giving you the knowledge that he's going to reach his orgasm soon. Retracting your lips to his as a string of saliva connected from your mouths, your heavy pants and the skin slapping were the only sounds you can listen to. Face flushed as you loudly moan and Giyuu groaned under his breath.

"G-Giyuu... I-I'm c-cumming," you breathlessly informed which Giyuu desperately and tremendously pound into you harder, wanting to reach the ecstasy that you both want.

"(N-Name)..."

In Giyuu's one last thrust, a screamish like moan escapes your lips as you both finally reached your climax at the same time and he didn't even pay mind if he's squirting his fluids inside you. The Water pillar groaned and pulled his throbbing member inside you, watching how your mixed juices coming out from your cunt. Giyuu gazed over you who's heavily breathing while eyes were closed.

He plopped himself beside you and let him catch his breath as well, you two didn't speak and just let your heavy breathing be the source of the sound inside the room. Giyuu was in ecstasy, feeling happy that he finally became one to you and make love to the person he surely treasures a lot. He turned his face to look at you and only to find out that you're already looking at him with a tired smile crept on your face

"I love you, Giyuu..." your soft-spoken voice makes his heart leap inside his chest as you flash him an expression with pure fondness and sincere love for him.

Giyuu's mouth agape and stared at you as if you're the only person living in this world, the only woman he would love and would do his very best to protect you even if it means to sacrifice his own life. He doesn't want to experience losing someone he really holds dear, he had enough of that. That is why he will protect you with all his might and love you until he lives, embrace you and secure you in between his arms, and won't let you slip away from his hold.

That's how he values you a lot, you're the last person that he wants to keep and the reason why he's still surviving in this dangerous world.

Giyuu wrapped his arms around you and pulled you close to him before giving you a gentle kiss on the forehead with full of his love.

"I love you too, (Name)."

Thus, the two of you embraced each other while a small smile plastered on your faces, feeling the contentment filling your whole being as you can feel the warmth of each other's body in your tight embrace. And to this day, you won't ever forget what happened between you and him and engrave it into your minds for eternity.

Therefore, this is yours and Giyuu's momentous day.

for this month's recommendations, i decided to go with the theme KISSES GALORE in honour of valentine's day. all of the below works have been posted in the month of february 2021 and hand selected by me <3

Sowing Discord by @chronologicalimplosion

A group of hyper-religious, homophobic protesters on campus ruins David's post-lunch good mood and he sends a half-joking message to the LGBTQ+ Discord server about staging a counterprotest. Constant lurker Patrick comes running.

Rated T for TEEN & UP AUDIENCES; 4,089 words; M/M; TAGGED for Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Original Characters, Alternative Universe, Alternative Universe - College/University, Homophobia, First Kiss, Epistolary, kind of

"This work features the inclusion of messages sent in Discord channels, a social media app I've never seen interrogated into a fanfiction piece before. The perfect balance of humour as well as tenderness makes this the ideal read to round out the month of love."

falling into place like dominos by @davidbrewer

Alexis spins the bottle and Stevie doesn’t know if she wants it to stop in front of her, or if she’s hoping it points literally anywhere else. She thinks she’ll figure it out when it stops moving, but… even with the neck of the bottle unmistakably pointing at her foot, she still can’t identify what the feeling is. Is that happiness or dread settling in the pit of her stomach? Since when do those completely different things feel exactly the same? If she’s being honest, though, it feels like a combination of things. It’s that feeling you get right before you do something you know you might regret later… like throwing back a jello shot (which she wishes she had done), calling an ex at 3am, or maybe jumping out of a plane.

David and Patrick hold a second housewarming party, this time at their newly-renovated cottage. For old times' sake, they decide to play spin the bottle. Meanwhile, Stevie has been wrestling with her feelings for Alexis since she left for New York... and it never occurred to her that those feelings could flow both ways.

Rated M for MATURE AUDIENCES; 4,897 words; F/F; TAGGED for Stevie Budd & Alexis Rose, Stevie Budd/Alexis Rose, Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Post-Canon, Lesbian Stevie Budd, First (Real) Kiss, Alcohol, Spin the Bottle, Queer Themes, Sexuality Crisis, (Although it's more of a frustrated confusing than a crisis tbh)

"The author's ability to voice every character (but specifically Alexis) will never fail to astound me; their inner voice for Stevie is the most notable in this work, however. Even the friendship/sibling dynamics between David and Alexis and as well as Stevie and Patrick are absolute perfection. One of the best 'Housewarming' codas I've ever endulged in and I can confidently says so."

Until I Lose My Breath by @the-kellephant

How could she have missed the fact that she was in love with Twyla?

Rated T for TEEN & UP AUDIENCES; 814 words; F/F; TAGGED for Stevie Budd/Twyla Sands, Friends to Lovers, First Kiss, Femslash February, Bisexual Stevie Budd, Lesbian Twyla Sands

"A lovely introspective piece about sapphic feelings and how they can often be blindsided by denial if not provided with the proper care or attention."

You can Stand Under my Umbrella by @agoodpersonrose

David thought the day couldn't possibly get any worse. But then it started to rain.

43. You both reach for the last umbrella in the store on a rainy day.

Ten Tender Kisses by @cheesecurdsgravyandfries

Ten drabbles featuring ten tender kisses.

Rated G for GENERAL AUDIENCES; 1,110 words; M/M; TAGGED for Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Fluff, tender kisses, Canon Compliant

"Reading this was pure joy. The happiness I felt from the first drabble continued to grow the longer I scrolled which is truly a beautiful feeling. Their banter is so perfectly in character and the dynamic the author has created between David and Patrick is a skill I envy."

I Didn't Know it was a Crush, David by squigmistress

David and Patrick arrive home after The Premiere and David wants to talk more about some of the wild stuff Patrick said when he was high on pain meds. What he doesn't expect is Patrick's big, gay feelings. But damn, does he love him for it. OR Patrick needs emotional safety to process some feelings and, of course, David is more than happy to hold him through it.

Rated T for TEEN & UP AUDIENCES; 1,548 words; M/M; TAGGED for Patrick Brewer/David Rose, david rose - Relationship, Queer Themes, Coming Out, Episode: s06e05 The Premiere, Coda, Feelings, Feelings Realisation, Gay, Canon Gay Character, Family Issues, Intimacy, Non-Sexual Intimacy, Anger

"Now, I've always been a sucker for introspective works, but this took it to a brand new level. It's such a fine needle to thread; however, the author does an astounding job at cataloguing the growth/development of Patrick's emotions."

Be your remedy by @jessx2231

Patrick closes his eyes and brings to mind all the times David has put on music while Patrick is engrossed in a book or his phone or even the occasional weekend work task. Eventually, David will slink into his space, just enough to rest his head in Patrick’s lap. He doesn’t always do so with the intent to fall asleep, but it’s usually not long before Patrick’s fingers involuntarily find their way into David’s hair — much like they are now — and David’s breath will even out for a while.

He can definitely make an abridged version of that happen.

Or, David can't sleep and Patrick helps.

Rated G for GENERAL AUDIENCES; Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings; 2,048 words; M/M; TAGGED for Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Fluff, Established Relationship, Canon Compliant, Post-Canon, Married Life, very mild descriptions of depressive symptoms, but really just some very soft sleepy boys

"A warm hug is the best way I can describe this. Also, I already knew I need a Patrick Brewer in my life, but this solidified that."

the paths that your eyes wander down by @anniemurphys apart of falling in love at a coffee shop by them, @thankstwy, and @landofsonlali

Written for the prompt: "Twyla and Alexis reunite in NYC."

Alexis finds Twyla at a tiny corner table.

Rated G for GENERAL AUDIENCES; 568 words; F/F; TAGGED for Alexis Rose/Twyla Sands, Post-Canon

"The absolute perfect romantic comedy moment paired with some of the most in-character Alexis dialogue I've seen in awhile, not to mention how beautifully the mutual pining is broken."

a sense of expectation hanging in the air by Anonymous (i'll add the author once reveals are out for the Season 7 collection !)

Stevie starts to realize she has feelings for Ruth. How long though, will it take for her to tell Ruth that?

Rated M for MATURE AUDIENCES; 6,548 words; F/F; TAGGED for Stevie Budd/Ruth Clancy, Stevie Budd & Alexis Rose & Twyla Sands, Stevie Budd & David Rose, Stevie Budd & Patrick Brewer, Alexis Rose/Twyla Sands, Post-Canon, Getting Together, Sharing a Bed, Cuddling & Snuggling, Making Out, Fluff, Texting, Female Friendship, Episode: s07e08 RMG, Workplace Relationship

"The support from Stevie's friends—Alexis, Twyla, David, and Patrick—is so incredibly lovely. Despite the secret crushes, Stevie and Ruth refuse to let anything get in the way of them getting together and it's such a wonderful thing to see them immediately all-in the relationship."

got a fistful of four leaf clovers by iphigenias

Two weeks before Christmas Alexis calls David.

“So I think I like someone,” she says.

Rated T for TEEN & UP AUDIENCES; 1,754 words; F/F; TAGGED for Post-Canon, Getting Together, Femslash February, home is a place AND a person!

"Alexis's slow burn of building feelings for Twyla melts my heart. That being said, the realistic depiction of the difficulties that come with change provides a certain depth to this story it needs."

What almost nobody wants to say out loud, the thing that nobody can sell, is the sucky truth that love isn’t something you can deserve by finally becoming perfect enough, it’s not a final boss battle between you and your worst enemy (who is also you) with the perfect partner as a prize. There are far too many absolute cinnamon rolls who are unhappily alone, and waaaaaaaay too many selfish jerks celebrating golden wedding anniversaries and stinking up R/relationships to ever conclude that romantic love is distributed fairly according to merit. Finding and maintaining a happy romantic partnership with another human or humans depends on the existence, proximity, subjective desires, and a frankly astounding series of large and small decisions that are completely up to a bunch of people who aren’t you. That’s terrifying, obviously. It sucks so hard, and believe me, I am very aware of the specific suckitude of having this message delivered by some happily-married blog asshole after you’ve bared your soul in public and carefully listed all the things that might be right or wrong with you: “I found love, despite socially unacceptable levels of [body hair][cat hair][body fat][student loan debt][annoying personality traits][chemical imbalances][sartorial crimes], but that doesn’t mean you or anyone else can necessarily guarantee it, sorry. Love, Captain Awkward.” But the only truthful answer I can give to “Other people do find love, why not me?“ is “Effort counts; but sometimes luck and timing count way more.” Or, as Sara Eckel suggests in her excellent book It’s Not You: 27 (Wrong) Reasons You’re Single, maybe treating romance like a perpetual makeover project is a) not actually working to help people pair off b) taking up a lot of headspace and time that could be used on better – and more fun – activities.

#1300: “Chronically-single abuse survivor tired of dating disasters.”

From what I can tell Minho is quite obviously Lawful Good, but the laws he is following are not only those of society but also those of his own creation.

He seems to have very strong personal opinions on what one should do even in pretty mundane situations to Create the Most Good (ie his first instinct is that he is correct about what is good to do), and the need to argue for his opinion often completely hijacks and overrides his need to follow appropriate social conventions. But because he’s just so obviously sincere that it comes off as comical and almost cute, instead of rude. If Yunho and Minho have taught me anything, it’s that eager sincerity can pull you through a lot of potentially awkward social gaffes.

oh completely agree!!!!! he's extremely lawful good but he's not exactly a goody two shoes and has a firm and constant sense of morality outside of institutions which is like. an astounding trait for a pop star to have?

he's self righteous and defensive and its at times obnoxious or embarrassing or awkward but you can't dislike him for it for very long when he staunchly follows his own guidelines he expects for others and works very hard at everything he does.

literally he and yunho get into such ridiculous situations that only they could get out of unscathed and completely shameless because they have superhuman levels of eager sincerity.

I’ve spoken before about how Henry Crawford in the 1999 movie version of Mansfield Park is a completely different character than the one in the novel—a “bad boy” with some destructively impulsive tendencies but also great reserves of kindness and self-awareness, rather than a callous and hypocritical bad man—but I have to say that neither the 1995 nor the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice gets Mr. Collins right, either. In the 1995 miniseries, he’s too broad and earthy: always leering and smirking and smacking his lips. He seems like he’s waiting for the first opportunity to kick Lady Catherine de Bourgh to the curb and then head to a combination brothel/all-you-can-eat roast chicken buffet for an entire week (those existed in the Regency, right?). In the 2005 movie, an adaptation that softens many of the characters, he’s very awkward but never malicious; he seems to have learned manners out of a not-very-good book, but his motives for learning them are probably good. He appears genuinely intimidated by Lady Catherine. He often looks embarrassed, and he’s almost sweet.

I’m not against these adaptations; the 1995 Mr. Collins works because he’s funny, and the 2005 one is interesting even though he creates some thematic messiness. (Lizzie and Charlotte each have understandable, serious, character-specific reasons for responding to Mr. Collins as they do, and Lizzie’s side of things gets short shrift if all Mr. Collins’s faults are surface-level.) But, taken together, I think these versions have contributed to the idea in Austen fandom that the original Mr. Collins is an okay guy who just happens to be awkward and insecure. And if that’s the direction someone wants to take for their adaptation or fanfic, that’s cool, but he is actually small-minded and mean-spirited in the novel. Not in a way that’s socially unacceptable for someone in his position at that time, but a lot of things were socially acceptable back then; that doesn’t make him any more pleasant.

First, his proposal to Lizzie shows that he absolutely shouldn’t marry her; he disapproves of her personality and is disappointed by her lack of wealth, even as he hopes her limited means will induce her to marry him. If he’s proposing to her out of a sense of charity, he should be kinder; if he has serious misgivings about her suitability as a clergyman’s wife but is choosing to overlook them because she’s hot, he should be less foolish; if he thinks he can’t do better than his cousin and he resents it, he needs to get over it.

Second, after he proposes to Charlotte, he’s always trying to rub it in Lizzie’s face. It’s understandable that his feelings would be hurt (although he could’ve saved himself some heartbreak by listening to her initial no), but she’s, you know, allowed to say no, and he found a much more suitable wife within a couple days, so he has little reason to complain. It’s unpleasant to Lizzie and insulting to Charlotte.

Third, his gloating, pitiless words to the Bennetts after Lydia runs away with Wickham may reflect a socially acceptable sentiment for the time (that it would be better for Lydia to have died than to become a fallen woman and shame her family), but this is the cruelest thing that anyone says about Lydia; I don’t think even Lady Catherine goes that far. This is especially alarming in light of his profession; the damage that such a rigid, unforgiving, probably resentful clergyman could do is worrying. He also tells Lady Catherine when people don’t generally know what happened with Lydia, a betrayal of trust borne either of astounding stupidity or spite.

Tl;dr: Mr. Collins is a bad guy. He’s basically Mr. Brocklehurst from Jane Eyre, just from the point of view of someone who isn’t directly under his power.
