Jude and Oak from The Folk of the Air by Holly Black (via Frostbite Studios)

[slasherwife]

Slashers reaction when their s/o catches them without mask for the first time? Pls and thank you!

s/o catches their slashers without a mask

awww yes!! i must give happy endings to all of these 😭🫶

warnings: extra short bc daddy bo doesn’t wear a mask 🥲💗

thomas hewitt:

He feels guilty

He wasn’t careful and now he’s scarred you from letting you see his scarred face. He’s ashamed he couldn’t keep you from himself 😭❤️‍🩹

And in a way it feels invasive. He feels like he’s been seen naked, and he quickly looks away with the feeling of embarrassment and shame fills him💔

He goes to leave, quickly entering the bathroom and shuts the door behind him.

after about a minute of refusing to look at himself in the mirror, he hears gentle breath coming from the other side of the oak wood door.

his better half, asking if he’s okay. that it looked like he saw a ghost, and then laughing. then telling him that you miss him. and that, “by the way, you’re beautiful.”

he starts to cry, smiling, and looks into the mirror at the face that they said was beautiful. 💗💗

jason vorhees:

jason isn’t really self aware like thomas is. he isn’t one to worry about what he looks like anymore 🤗

i mean, he does worry that you won’t find him attractive, but it’s not to the point where he will refuse to ever let you see him with his mask off!

the first time was when he was down by the lake, sitting down washing a trap that had flesh still inside, minding his own💞 he had taken off his mask to breathe freely the lake air.

he had thought you’d been asleep for a long time, inside the cabin. and he had been so threaded in his thoughts that he didn’t hear the door open.

“hi jason” your voice rang out sweetly, slightly caught off guard because his mask was off but nontheless wanting to greet him🫶

he says nothing (obv), but instead of giving you his long soft glance like he usually does, he looks away, and down, almost trying to hide his face as he grows stiff

you grow slightly deflated, but your love for him seems to intensify, and you can’t stop the words before they come out, “you have beautiful eyes.”

jason’s eyes flicker to you, then back to the ground, then pats the ground beside him for you to keep him company 💕💕🥺

michael myers:

this guy is the literally opposite of thomas he does not care at all😭 he is literally so not self aware at all

he likes his mask but sometimes the thing gets real smelly so he has to throw it in dishsoap water yk 🥲

then you come around the corner he’s like “oh hey y/n” literally nothing off about what’s being seen atm 😃😂💞

you TRY to play it cool but at the same time you’re like fangirling over seeing your hot smexy murderer husband without a mask for the first time 💕😇

but at the same time like he probably sleeps without the mask on so i’m assuming y’all sleep separate until now 🥲

if not then you see it so early into the relationship like it’ll be no big deal 😇💕

bo sinclair:

boy doesn’t wear a mask, his face is too hot and sexy to be contained 😍

vincent sinclair:

absolutely horrified. he doesn’t even like being alone without his mask on that much.

has literally considered waxing the actual mask to his face permanently😕❤️‍🩹

he just was repairing it— he got too close to a radiator on accident and needed to repair it. then his baby walked in🥺

hears the door open and IMMEDIATELY flinches away. he knows you caught a glimpse, and he’s terrified, and mortified.

he’s breathing deeply, frozen, stiff, like one of his sculptures. you on the other hand are concerned. 🥹

“darl? is everything okay my love?” you call out softly, so not to startle him💞 he doesn’t answer, and doesn’t move.

“i went looking for some petrol, i knew you wanted some for your art. it’s in the shed.” he noticed that you never called his statues “sculptures” or “wax dolls” like bo always did. you called them “art” 💝💞

“honey you don’t have to hide from me. i will always respect your privacy, i will never ask you to show me your face. but you will never have to hide from me because i love all of you.” 🥹💗

you say this to him and he softens like the wax on his mask. it was within the next few days that he’d rather throw it into the fire than melt it into his skin forever 💞💞

Day 9 of my 2023 favorites: Oak Treehopper Parenting!

I wondered why I'd often find an adult oak treehopper with the crowd of nymphs I'd spot, and I learned that some treehopper mums will stay and stand guard with their babies, and that's just adorable. 🥹

Getting isekai'd?! (Part 6)

Sagau! Genshin Fatui x Gn! Reader (ft. Your bsf)

『Beloved fluffball/s mentioned below! 💜』

@justmare @mc-cos-charm @keirennyx

NEW FLUFFBALL ADDED TO MY COLLECTION!! Mwehehehehe >:3

☆

A/n: Almost at 50 fluffballs guys! 🥹

Warnings: Swearing, grammatical/spelling issues, bbg if you srsly forgot you have vitiligo, I couldn't find the image that I always use in the header thingy part so I had to improvise, y/b/f/n and you being silly.

【Part 5】

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

The 5 signs that Our Holiness has descended upon Teyvat:

1. Golden blood.

2. The sound of Their Majesty's 'Kalimba' playing in the air.

3. Shooting stars.

4. Their Holiness' lovely voice.

5. Their dog that Their Majesty calls "Siberian Husky" yes aka your big baby sitting on your lap.

The Cryo Archon letted out a a quiet gasp. "How could I have forgotten the melodies My Grace used to play..." she thought as she closed the book and putted it back to its shelf, her shoes clicking against the floor of her icy-cold palace.

☆

You hummed a song to yourself as you helped your friend build a wooden house in Minecraft. "Yo should we just do milk chocolate or dark chocolate planks?" You asked with a stupid grin on yoir face.

"Bitch you could've just said oak or dark oak planks... 😭" Your best friend said affectionately. And yet you deadass expect them to take you seriously when your like this. "But now im hungry wtf?" You both said in unison.

"Bruh."

"Bitch? Anygays wanna go to the kitchen together?"

"Sure~!" Y/b/f/n said in the gayest fucking way possible.

You both turn off your computers and went to the kitchen.

☆

You guys were eating (f/f) Y/b/f/n was eating it because you were eating it too :3 until a knock on the door rudely interrupted you guys' snacking session. "Stupid fucking door..." Y/b/f/n thought. How dare the person interrupt their precious time with you? But anyways, they go to the door open it, only to see a certain gingerhead whose alias is the literal opposite of what he is *EHEM* Child...

"Hello comarde! May I come in?"

"Yah, sure. 😐" Your bsf made some space for him to go through the door. "HOY (N/N), WE HAVE A VISITOR! PISTE KA" Y/b/f/n yelled at you.

"PISTE I HAVENT FINISHED MY FOOD" Tartaglia sweatdropped slightly as you cursed back before you took the last bite of your (f/f). You started to make you way into the living room. "Hah?"

"Oh? Is this your roomate, comrade?"

"Yas, this beautiful person over here is (Y/n), aka the other person you saw in that photo near the fireplace. 😍" Childe's smile faltered abit as he remembered how your bsf nearly made his skeleton jump by by saying that behind him. "Right..." But the moment he looked at you, his first thought was: "HOLY SHIT THEY LOOK MORE PRETTIER THAN THE PHOTO" He thought, not realizing he blushing like a fucking strawberry.

"Is bro ok...?" You almost had a hand on your mouth as you practically called one of the villians in the game one of the most casual terms you know.

"Nah. He'll be fineeee..."

☆

Eeeeeeee finally done!

An OT3 route could create either such a cute world or a sad tragedy of an angst 🥲

But- forgetting the voice of the angst in my brain- it's so funny to think about the Knight of dawn and General Lilia living their best life in the house of the forest with a time traveler wife 😭

Lilia: So, those are the skills of the famous Knight of Dawn...not bad for a human

Knight: Thank you Sir Vanrouge. You're also a pretty good sparing partner.

Y/n:....boys, dinner's ready. Do not go wild like last time, you scared the oak fairies. Plus, if you wake up Silver again, I will be the one to kick your ass.

Both: Yes darling !

*Y/n leaving*

Lilia:...our next baby will be half fairy.

Knight: We don't know. Before your blessing, Silver looked just like me. A little girl looking like Y/N would be just fine.

Lilia:.... *start laughting and hit the Knight shoulder* Not bad yes. We'll see.

Such a bromance those two will have in daily life !The power of their bromance is as strong than Lilia competitive spirit and the love they both have for their time-taveler wife and baby Silver 🥹

(Continuation of this ask)

Anonie🌸🌺🌻

When I woke up and saw this, the way I just…well, I went like this:

This was so cute I can’t even, even while writing this I have a wide smile on my face.

What’s better than living in a cozy cottage with two very handsome men and being the mother of precious Silver? (I’m still not over that 😂)

I also love how both men fear YN, good as they should! They better not wake up the precious baby. It’s also so cute and funny how buddy and amicable Knight and Lilia are ☺️💞

The way Lilia mentions the next baby would be half fae aldkojwhss that’s so cute 🥹💞 and then Knight mentions the blessing and and and how the next child could be a daughter that looks like YN and something they both want. Anonie please this is so cute 😭😭 I’m dying from how cute that is ahhhhh 💚💚

I love this bromance and this OT3 omg, it’s going to be my top 5 now. Their love for their time traveler wife and baby Silver is so precious 💞💞

Thank you for sending this in Anonie 🥹💞, I enjoyed it so much.

Have you seen this Anonie post?? This Anonie loved your post too.

thinking about sucking off professor!bradley from under his desk while he’s trying to teach

no please because i’ve been watching ‘the offer’ and the miles/bradley brain rot is so bad rn 🥴

it’s probably the most risky you’ve ever been with him. sure, you’ve had sex seconds before his next class comes in or as bradley’s on a zoom call with his colleagues, but under his desk as he teaches a class who’s meters away? jesus fucking christ.

his desk is thick oak with a solid back, so when you’re kneeling under his desk for an hour, bradley’s students are none the wiser. normally he’s pacing up and down the auditorium as he engages the minds of his students, but for this particular lecture bradley spends tucked into his desk by his chair with his palms placed steadily on top of his desk.

bradley makes a passing comment to his students that he hurt his back, but in reality your swollen lips are wrapped around his hard length and your drool is dripping onto his chair and sliding off onto the linoleum floors.

bradley slips up once or twice and you can hear him stuttering on his words, but for the most part you’re honestly impressed how well he’s holding it together as you take his length all the way down to the hilt so his thick curls tickle your nose. you manage to hold back your gags every time a student gives their opinion or the class is in discussion.

when the room has finally emptied out, bradley lets out a deep and guttural groan that he’s been holding in for over an hour. his hands plant themselves onto his large thighs and he pulls away from his desk, earning a moan from yourself at the loss of feeling so full.

“baby, fucking hell. you did amazing, so, so good for me. i’m so proud of you. here,” bradley scoops you up into his large arms and sits you on his lap. your eyes are drooping and your head feels like it’s full with cotton. your lips are a dark rouge and puffy, and bradley reaches up his thumb to swipe off the last remaining dribbles of drool that fall from your lips.

“that was my last class,” bradley hooks his index finger under your chin to turn you upwards to look at him and you give him a dopey smile. “let me take you home, honey and take care of you.”

you hum in agreement and nuzzle your face into bradley’s white collar to inhale his familiar scent and ground yourself.

aaaaah thank you so, so much for this incredible thot my dear anon!!! i had a lot of fun thinking and writing this 🥹💌

[azsazz]

I wish we knew more about the other Vanserra brothers, SJM didn’t say much besides they are horrible people basically…do you have any HCs for them?

ugh, me too. i refuse to believe the vanserra family is that fucked up to where they never got along and they all dislike each other. i know beron has been pitting them against each other for literally centuries smh.

So, in my fictional universe, the order of the brothers is as follows: Eris, Pyrolas (Pyro), Conleth (aka Connie 🥹), Oakland (Oak), Finch & Foxe (twins, both deceased), and Lucien.

We know Eris. We love Eris.

Pyro, man what a hot head. We've discovered a little bit about him through You Know I Always Liked Playing with Fire. He's messy. Second born, second best. Never enough to live up to his older brother. Beron has pitted them against each other for the longest time. Deep down, Pyro really just wants someone to be proud of him. But he's a little twisted because he's never had love and all he's seen is the piss poor excuse of a father treating his mom like shit. Except for when he found out about Lucien and his partner. There was a flicker of guilt as he watched the twins pin Lu down while his lover perished before them all. He's so incredibly hurt that he takes it out on others, on his brothers, parents, people of the court, his partners. He wants someone to hurt as much as he hurts. He's a master at the art of façade. No one knows that he wants love because he's so good at pretending he doesn't need it and pushing people away.

Connie, my baby. Ngl I had him as deceased for a bit until that anon reminded me that he was alive. so here he is, im introducing him. Conleth is third born, middle of the pack. he's pretty docile compared to pyro, but he really does enjoy the simple of things in life. he's second mommy's boy, coming after the biggest mommy's boy of all, eris. he's lethal with a bow but those skilled hands are good at many things, like in the bedroom or in the kitchen. he can make a mean pie. i'm feeling as i write this that he's just like us and has a MAD crush on cass and az, have you seen those wings? those powerful bodies? cuz connie dreams of it (he's just like me fr). he keeping it much on the down low because of daddy Ber.

Oakland, love him. Oak is the rational one. He appears in The Autumn Chill, and he's the one that none of the brothers can ever stay mad at. He's the mediator, the strategist. He sees everything and anything and is ever-calculating. Everyone adores him, he's so sweet, but can also put on a show when he needs to, just as all of them can. In Creepy Campfire, we see his playful side, joining in on his brothers jokes because he likes it when his brothers are happy. He wants a better world for his court even though he knows that berons power probably won't fall to him after he dies, he'll stick by the brother that does and off him his intelligence.

Then there's Finch and Foxe. I can see them being like night and day or super fucking similar. cliche to say night and day, i know, but what if they were fire and wind? Foxe gives more bad boy than Finch (who will do whatever his twin asks of him) and they're trouble makers through and through. Foxe is fire while Finch is wind (appropriately named). Where Foxe sets a blazing fire Finch is there to add fuel to the flames. They back each other and aren't worried for title of heir to the throne because they know it won't happen for some time, they'll discuss it when the time nears, if it should happen. both playboys, and i bet they've even shared women between the both of them too. they give that vibe, as strange as it sounds. But, they are no longer, killed off by Lucien and Tam in the books and also in Safe Haven. They held down Lu while Beron killed his lover and they found sick delight in watching, in having a hand in it. They're both twisted as hell tbh.

And of course, Lucien. We know him and we love him too.

so yeah, i guess this is how i'd view them in my personal world 🤷🏼‍♀️😅

[rinneverse]

oak pookie i’m stuck in the spiral of doom

by spiral of doom i mean…. STUCK W THOUGHTS ABT HSR PAPAS. 😞🥹

aventurine n sunday as fathers have be GAGGED.

THE SPIRAL OF DOOM!!!!!! it consumes yet another.

hsr papas :(( such a sweet concept... aven, who promises his daughter (because he's a girl dad. this is CANON in my brain) the world, who will give her everything and more so she doesn't suffer through the same sort of childhood he had. he treats her to the prettiest princess dresses and little tea parties, makes sure she's spoiled, and will dote on her like the loving papa i know he'd be :((

sunday would be such a sweet daddy :( maybe a little more on the controlling side (he's traumatized from robin :( poor baby), but he means well. he makes sure you and the baby are always well taken care of, he'll watch your baby girl (again. GIRL DAD!!!!) sing and dance a little performance she made for the two of you, and is always making sure he's taking time off from working to spend time with u guys :( i'll cry

The Prisoners Throne thoughts

Spoilers beneath cut! Heads up for a critical review but a positive Jurdan review 😂

Also did anyone catch the Roiben and Kaye mention? It was subtle but it was there..

I’m a little all over the place with my initial thoughts on the whole thing, but here are my main takeaways:

The pacing was weak, especially in the build up (or lack of build up) to Oak’s discovery of The Ghost being the main poisoner of his mother. In the span of two chapters, Oak goes from incandescent rage towards Ghost and his sisters/family, to then processing all of that because of the Ghost’s death?

My issue here is we never really saw Oak talking to his family despite his POV lamenting that they avoid uncomfortable topics. He’s right. They do. And so I would’ve liked for a genuine heart to heart.

On the topic of the Ghost’s death — what the fuck? Also incredibly weak. We didn’t spend enough time getting to know Garrett for that death to be impactful in any way (unless you are me and you’ve been crushing on the Ghost for years). The attitude around the entire thing was so blasé that I genuinely thought he was going to be brought back to life in a few pages.. I just don’t understand what Holly was trying to do here.

Overall this probably needed to be a trilogy so she could develop more of these ideas, because even the romance with Oak and Suren felt a little off kilter to me.

Otherwise, every Jurdan scene was incredible. Cardan, despite his few appearances, carried this whole book on his back for me. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE OAK. The tragedy of his upbringing, the way he was supposed to have a happy childhood but was turned into a monster by Madoc is so bittersweet.

I think the abdication of being heir was solved a little too easily? But it did leave the door open for some speculation about a Jurdan baby 👀

I was right about the political problem being about the Undersea and I’m really wondering if she’s going to write that from Jurdan POV or from Nicasia.. so that’s exciting!

I wish we had more *Elfhame* in this book. Where was the magic of TCP? I just felt something was lacking and I can’t put my finger on what.

Suren having a rebirth moment like Cardan only adds to my criticism that Oak/Suren has too many similarities to Jurdan that I wish had been avoided — BUT. I love the imagery of it and I’m happy our monster girl got the happy ending she deserves.

A lot of these Cardan moments had me going absolutely insane — him protecting Jude? Him playing with Leander? Oak pointing out that Cardan is brave and picked up a sword to fight in the end as well? Omg!!

How do I feel? Weird. I’m NGL, I feel kind of strange about this book. Perhaps I need to reread the duology or the entire series.

Some other odd things I noticed:

Lady Asha is still alive and kicking it at court? Lol.

Oak thought Taryn was the kind hearted sister who wanted a gentler world

The amount of dead deer imagery (the deer heart in the Citadel, the dead deer on Madoc’s clothes) that made Oak feel ill at ease was equal parts cute and sad LOL. My sweet hoof boy 🥹

The removal of Valerian’s curse and the confirmation that there was, in fact, a curse. What does this mean for Jude going forward?

[lewmagoo]

Alright Leah since you asked for it, I'm here to present to you some soft Rhett thoughts to help you through whatever it is you're going through. Trust me, I'm in the same boat with work, BUT, one way or another, you will get through it.

But thinking about domestic life with our favorite cowboy, wifey!reader is definitely the cottagecore type while Rhett's more in the mud and the dirt, but he absolutely loves getting to spend time with you, just wandering around the property.

The days are always full of sunshine and a warm breeze to rustle the trees. Often times, he'll catch you sitting under a huge, old oak tree that has been on the property for ages and has officially been dubbed your "reading tree" since you always seem to be sitting underneath it with a book of some sorts. You've even got a whole barn full of books that you and Rhett personally built, complete with a little cozy corner for an old wingback chair that had belonged to Cecelia's grandfather, your knitting basket, a woodstove and a little spot for the cats.

Your kitchen is always full of the best smells since you're always making soups, stews, pies, cookies or some of Rhett's favorite dinners. The smell of fresh bread is always wafting from the windows and in spring and summer, when Rhett's prepping some of your plant beds, he'll see you cutting up peaches and apples or putting raspberries, blackberries and blueberries into mason jars to make preserves.

By the time you're due to have your first child, you find yourself knitting and crocheting alot more often than you usually do. Soon, the little one's dresser is almost full of little socks, caps and sweaters as well as some soft, cuddly little toys to put in their crib. For two, grueling months, you showed Rhett how to make a quilt and in the process, lost count of how many times he pricked his finger trying to join two pieces together.

When your little princess eventually does arrive, the house seems much warmer and brighter than it ever has. Sometimes you'll catch a glimpse of Rhett sitting with her in the creaky old rocker, her tiny little form in her pink blanket you made for her, the sunlight pouring through the nursery windows and across the pastel green walls, illuminating his face and his hair, making it a much brighter shade of dark gold.

I hope this cheers you up a little bit Leah, I had alot of fun writing this and now that spring is here, I'm hoping to do more cottagecore prompts and writing (lol).

oh this is so dreamy and wonderful! domestic rhett with his wife and baby makes me so soft 🥹

The oak treehopper babies are growing up (as mum watches over) 🥹 Love the stripy stage of development!

I found 4 such scenes this evening on a short walk. They're just the best. 💚

Yes... I grinded my ass off... And now I have nothing to grind for baby Lukey... And IT'S OKAY!!!! You can still get tears from the event itself!! And by upgrade they mean upgrade the star thingies- You know when you get dupes you can star up the cards? Yeah that's the upgrade they meant... I didn't know and kept trying to use my stellin till I realised like 'oh fuck I've been wasting stellin for no reason' cause I still couldn't clear the achievement... But yes I'm left with 36 stellin now after levelling up my new card...

Ah omg arranged marriage 😭Omgomg do you read 'Under the Oak tree' ? It's an arranged marriage manhwa with spicy scenes [ohohoh!] If you don't you should give it a read, see if you'll enjoy it. And Angst! My absolute fave! AHHAHA SAME GIRL I thought he was the antagonist 😭😭Especially after the prologue I was like 'Who tf are you' and I thought there would be that route where the MC gets together with the bad guy and gets whisked off... And I guess I know why I'm still single now... It's either I'm really just too in love with 2D men, or it's my mum's high standards and taste in men...

Right!!! Ahhhh I'm so in love with Satosugu! And it's okay! Take your timeee, just do it once you're more comfortable. Geto has a pretty complicated character if you ask me so it's understandable that you'll need more time...

😭😭You must be so tired... Remember to stay hydrated and rest well too! Your health comes first!! LUKE JUST GO HOME SO PEOPLE CAN REST 😭😭😭

Hidden inventory is indeed our last spring of youth... I felt my teenage life get sucked away HELP. To add up I'm like around their age during hidden inventory and I relate so much better to them except the cursed energy part... And Culling games... I don't even want to imagine... I'll probably drop JJK by then I don't think my heart can take it. I think JJK will end me before I do it myself...

exactly... It's really childish and stupid... Like guys most of you are at least 16 so act like your age please don't go around arguing over shit only kids fight over... I used to watch Aot like I stopped at S3 before they switched to MAPPA... and yeah basically every big fandom will or has experienced debates over the littlest things... Every fandom has it's toxic community...

Hahaha! How's your bf after the last episode? I heard it's super depressing...

i… only got 1 tears *sobs* and now it’s in pity 60🤧 STAR THINGIES LMAO yeah it immediately comes to mind the moment you describe it like that😭 36 stellin is alright! i’ve been left with 2 stellin i remember thinking just how broke i can get?💀

i read that!!!🥹 i love it but i’m a bit sad that maxi struggles so much to stand up for herself😔 riftan is a hunk though omg. oh and i read another manhwa called “light and shadow” it’s such a good arranged marriage manhwa that i read it lit thrice bcs the both the hero and heroine are badasses who take no shits from anyone else🥹

aw don’t worry disco anon!! i’m sure you’ll find the right person someday!! i used to be insecure with myself too and thinking that i don’t fit but no—it’s just that we haven’t met the right person yet!!🥹 they are there somewhere🫶🏻

SO TRUE AHHAHAHA jjk will end us before we do it is so canon ogmf😭 like for how long now that we didn’t know what megumi’s status is?

ohhh may i know why? they said it’s much better when it moved to mappa? bcs tbh mappa is a good animation company, but it’s just that their working conditions that are so concerning🤧

he’s being dramatic and totally heartbroken about eren and mikasa🥹 he even has his lockscreen changed into a live wallpaper of aot🥹 i swear it’s karma bcs when gojo died, he was unapologetic towards me (he rolls his eyes 🙄 whenever i’m swooning over gojo and he is a suguru lover, btw!) and now i get the chance for a payback🥹
