#but so little contact really was. unnecessary 😂

[li-esonthefloor]

NO BUT REALLY where the fuck is julius. do you know how hard it is for me to whump ludger during the game's events and i'm stopped by the part where julius has every reason and motivation to be present and just ISN'T??? (even chronos chasing him for like four waymarker chapters and another exodus attack doesn't make sense for chronos) i know julius' character profile in the encyclopaedia implies he just couldn't bring himself to face ludger and answer but its just that the entire game is structured around not letting these two talk to each other or else the entire plot would fall apart and i just [bloody stick figure biting] how am i supposed to write ludger suffering without julius when it doesn't even make sense to me that julius would have zero contact with ludger.

*lies down* i love x2 very much but there's a reason why a grand total of none of my finished fic ideas happen during canon 😂

anyway maybe that jogs your memory of what you were thinking cheers

😂😂😂 ok i think i wondered about. maybe him doing some of his hiding in some fds on and off, for various purposes not necessarily limited to avoiding the cops (and his little brother) (should those be switched? 'his little brother (and the cops)'?). they could have had something useful for him in theory. idk how plausible that is since all the fd information should have gone straight through spirius, but also the man is very tech-savvy so who knows maybe he built a backdoor so he gets heads up when fds pop up or whatever that might not necessarily be canon speculation, it may be some kind of subplot in an au or something LOOOL i really dont remember....

Love in the air ep 2

Oh rain my dear, your stuck with him now and I'm so invested.

Firstly I would like to say I'm happy I was wrong when I thought the reason rain would make phayu (payu? Still not fucking sure) fall for him was to attract ple's attention. the reason is far better and so in character because of COURSE he wants payu to fall for him so he'll stop calling him stupid😂

Let's start of with my favorite part of the ep, every interaction between rain and sky. I lost it when he started imitating his voice before dragiing him away and the silent prayer he sent when rain went off with payu, he gets it. But he should save some prayers for himself when he inevitably has to deal with prapai.

Ahhh the bathroom stall scene. I wattched the whole thing with my jaw on the floor. The deadly eye contact payu insists on keeping even when rain's eyes are shut is....wow

Just wow. I know this scene (this whole show) is rubbing people the wrong way (ill get into parts I didn't like soon) but I wouldn't go as far as to call payu abusive or a sexual predator.

Another thing I've seen is, peoples mixed feelings on rain being called stupid, which I get. However at the end of the day, he is a character who IS a little on the aloof side. would I call him stupide? No. he reminds me of a lot of guys (honestly not just guys) I was friends with in my first year of uni, not stupid just in the clouds (hehe get it, rain? in the clouds?) I'm sure hes perfectly intelligent, not everything has to be a point of debate.

I love this airhead :)

Now let's get to the worse eyesore of this ep. I'm talking I did a triple take. I was shocked. SPANKING!? Why? Where from? How did we get here? It was so jarring (for me) and unneeded 😭 and I believe someone else mentioned it but I feel like there should have been a scene of them in a car on their way to payu's place and that's where their little lovers spat should have taken place and I 100% agree. I can only hope we get no more unnecessary out of the blue spanking. Cuz I get that for the dynamic that's trying to be built between them, payu was essentially 'punishing' rain for putting himself in harms way but.....i was also punished in the processes, having to watch that😭 plus it dosn't hit the spot for me personally unless rain was in on it. Like in a situation where he would INTENTIONALLY act up with the hopes of getting spanked? Signe me up, but until then, banish it.

ANYWAYS

There was no need for payu Boss to be this hot.

Other things I remeber

Peat is so expressive and has great face acting.

Similarly, Boss acts a lot with the upper part of his face. It's cute.

The music is really...present

That racing scene was so long. The repeated scenes from ep 1 were also long but I'm just impatient

The wardrobe choices...give me some things to think about, I might elaborate on a separate post once we're a few more ep in.

Anyways that's it from me till ep 3. Took me a while to get this out of my drafts, but in all honesty I enjoy shows, away from fandom. But I also enjoy spilling my most insignificant thoughts on a piece of media out for strangers on the internet to see.

FemLit 0382 - The Release: Ideas - Part 1

FemLit 0382 - The Release: Ideas - Part 1

The first orgasm after lockup will be super intense. After that, should you wish to have normal sex for a bit with him unlocked, he will have much more staying power than the first post-lockup one. That's why we call it the 'release'. Done right, and he will be ready for action very soon, with little need for the 'refractory period' that usually follows the male orgasm.

Go Slow!

On release days, his excitement is so high that bringing him to climax can take as little as a few seconds. This is about “release” - after weeks locked up he will not be able to last very long. Sometimes he will cum just by taking the cage off… In which case, job done 😂.

However, your boy’s worked hard for this - so I typically try to draw it out a little bit and let him really enjoy it.

Me First!

I usually start by having him bring me to orgasm as usual - with his tongue, hands or a toy. Now it's his turn (for once!). Now he's really, really in the mood.

Now You

First decision - do you want him to have his release while in the cage or unlocked?

Caged:

Here, it's about balls and nipples. I recommend one hand plays with his nips while the other pulls, squeezes and strokes his balls. Then begin tapping his balls at a regular rhythm, building intensity slowly. Tell him he has permission to cum… Keep tapping and in a few minutes he will come to the edge. He is to ask permission one more time before he about to cum. As he is coming, tap / slap harder until he is finished.

Another easy caged release technique is to use a vibrator or vibrating massager. Place it against the base ring of his cage near his balls. In a few minutes, the 'vibes' will do the trick.

Unlocked:

Take off the cage, grip his balls tightly and pull them away from his body, back and forth. Try to touch his nub as little as possible. At most, use a slow, infrequent stroke with a single finger from the base of his nub up the shaft to the tip. He must ask permission just as he is about to cum. At this point, stop all contact with his nub, tighten your grip on his balls and pull them away from his body and hold them there until he is finished.

Added Tips

Tip 1: Communicate with him! If it's going too quickly, stop and tell him 'not yet'. If he's squirming, getting his own hands involved or doing something you don't like, tell him to lie still. If you want him to reach the edge, tell him 'good, keep going'. You get it! It seems unnecessary but he's in a highly obedient mode and he will find it super hot.

Tip 2: If you do unlock him for release, i suggest re-locking directly after he orgasms. This significantly reduces the "drop" he will experience after orgasm and will push him through the 2-3 day grouchiness period much smoother. My man loves it if I put the cage on him, but if you prefer he locks himself, straight after his release, firmly tell him that it's time to go back in the cage.

If you decide to not re-lock or if your release window is a few days, communicate this to him and be specific - i.e. "We are re-locking in 3 days. No touching. Enjoy!"

Tip 3: Feed it to him! Tell him to clean up with his tongue or at least lick it off your hand. Recycling is important 😂.

DNP Rewatch: I TRY TO GIVE DAN A HAIRCUT!!

Date video was published: 05/14/2021 (X)

DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 441

Honestly I still rewatch this video every couple of weeks, so there aren’t going to be too many surprises. This Insta story from Dan that teased this video, from when he was doing a Q&A about mental health, still gets me. 🥺

0:00 - the start is immediately great with Dan already shaking his head

0:10 - “do not snip them next to my head” ...literally what he’s going to be doing 😂

0:17 - Phil is so smiley in the background already

0:27 - aww, Dan looks scared; Phil just looks amused

0:31 - somehow they’re getting even closer together with Phil standing then when they just sit next to each other

0:35 - why is THIS the example he’s using?! (why does Dan say that was an “okay job”... what.) why did they not reference the last time Phil cut Dan’s hair that they had talked about in the CAH Phan Edition video? where he actually did a decent job?

0:42 - the call-out of the eye contact! thanks Phil, now I don’t have to point that out

0:58 - how even. Phil’s face after he says “lubricant”...unnecessary 😳

1:04 - and then Dan shoving Phil away before his worry for Phil takes over his self preservation instinct and he yanks him back. because of course Dan’s going to help him

1:36 - love Dan’s face as he realizes exactly what Phil is going to say there

1:51 - I know Phil is bringing in the horror-movie element here like he loves to do but every time they reference how long it’s been I can’t handle it

1:59 - very quick jump-cut away from that gentle shoulder touch

2:08 - Dan looks so pleased by this

2:30 - really want to know where Dan was going with the “Philip Lester” there

2:34 - sometimes mirror eye contact is not enough

3:09 - “transitional period” I really feel like other delays of things later in 2021 caused this to be dragged out more...I’m not sure we’re out of it yet

3:21 - Phil letting Dan use his channel for book promo and helping him with it 🥺

3:46 - Dan with no reaction to Phil just grabbing his ears...Phil with lots of little touches in this one even when not actually doing the haircut

4:03 - the IMMEDIATE eye contact after that. “I’ve gotta be honest with you. Otherwise we’re not gonna get anywhere” truth from Phil

4:25 - Dan is on the nose there...that is exactly his hair from the Jamaica videos

4:30 - Dan’s hair looks very thick. and soft

5:03 - aww at Phil taking him seriously and reassuring him there

5:09 - Phil really just saying whatever goes through his head here

5:25 - “put a rubber on it” gonna blame Dan for Phil not being able to figure out what he’s saying here 😂

5:37 - Phil...Phil. 😳

5:44 - he did have a cape-thing but it didn’t work for cutting his own hair, so he must have thrown it away then. they just used a towel the previous time Phil cut Dan’s hair

6:00 - the sexy music addition and the logo edit there, lol

6:05 - so many Dan hyena laughs in this

6:21 - Dan actually jumped there! he seems actually a bit scared

6:27 - feel like we’re missing an inside joke there...they were too on the same page

6:53 - I bet something was said during that brief jump-cut hahaha

6:58 - still cannot believe they kept showing us shots of the bedroom of all the rooms. and those floating stairs

7:08 - ah, the start of the golden pig war! a great running gag from 2021

7:28 - Phil is proud of himself for this idea...poor Dan

7:51 - I always want vegetable crisps after watching this

8:04 - “don’t be mad” is not what you want to hear. Dan shouldn’t be too concerned; this is how it looked last time too. also, cannot get over the stacks of TATINOF cubes they’re using to hold the laptop and the drink/snacks

8:38 - “you do not get my AdSense” 😂

8:43 - Phil is so gentle when he’s touching his hair just a few seconds before this and so not here. also Dan’s “yelp review” there is great

8:53 - very very slightly better. personal space does not exist

9:00 - “that was surprisingly beautiful” okay sure Phil...judgement may be slightly clouded by something there

9:28 - Phil is really concentrating during this bit

9:34 - the “yeah” counter is so self-aware 😂 especially after the Stereo shows where we were all joking about Phil just showing he was listening (or not) by saying “yeah” a ton when Dan was speaking

10:01 - Phil seemed to be on a bit of his own mental health journey in 2021, with talking about it more and then eventually seeing a therapist for the first time as well

10:09 - Dan is just fully talking to Phil in the mirror at this point

10:21 - what is that Phil face after “completely naked” 👀 that he zoomed in on to make sure we didn’t miss too

10:35 - ahahaha, I love that Phil included the “reasons why Dan’s a fail” intro there

11:08 - Phil’s editing during this section is so fantastic

11:18 - he should have called it that! no maybe not, but that was a hilarious idea

11:29 - not over this moment, nope nope nope 😭

11:31 - Phil just saying “he’s talking about dick” what even

11:38 - Phil with the shocked face. yeah, the amount of bits in the book that seem like Dan just talking to Phil...

11:44 - the gentle touches here 🥺

11:50 - how long is Phil spending in the bathroom to deserve this call-out, lol

12:04 - oh god the square hair was so bad

12:07 - “Long Boi” is the famous duck that lived at the uni Phil went to  

12:10 - Dan is not ready there...Phil did stop right away of course. and then specifically asked “ready?” before he actually cut after that

12:26 - doing it neatly with the scissors is a lot more difficult than just using the electric trimmer-thing

12:34 - Phil does not seem to be doing this in any sort of logical order 😂

12:59 - “it’s much straighter than you” I love it

13:04 - why the asmr moment here

13:11 - “our life” and then can we talk about Dan tweeting this just a few weeks later 😭

13:24 - Phil just listening and with the soft smile

13:47 - “you don’t like giving other people control” seems like a giant understatement. and I don’t think Phil is much different with that

14:00 - from a distance that side looked alright...the close up is questionable

14:13 - 😂 oh dear. how did he even manage that

14:28 - Phil just running away

14:40 - “do we love it?” I bet there was some discussion and fixing of this off-camera

14:58 - another “don’t get mad”

15:00 - whyyyy the zoom-in as he says “6 inches” 

15:03 - Phil really just went for it there...he did not think about it at all

15:27 - that is definitely a look...Phil just agreeing with him

15:45 - wooo, that side is very short with a very severe line

15:58 - they must have cut out a bit of cleaning it up there

16:05 - Dan just looking so fond over this terrible haircut

16:27 - Dan immediately prepared with a prop for this story as Phil is telling it

16:58 - this moment kills me 😂 between how messy the hair is, the wine glass, the look on his face, and Phil screaming and dropping scissors in the background. could not have been planned better

17:10 - LMAO alrighty then

17:35 - they really should have just left out the close-cup

17:51 - so the part Phil didn’t really cut hahaha

18:07 - the softest “thanks Phil” 🥺

18:11 - Dan was not expecting Phil to get this edited and up so quickly I guess

18:26 - the first time I watched this I could not believe what was happening from here through the end. still feels a bit like a fever dream

18:33 - Phil looking so fond and immediately coming closer

18:42 - and then using a little slap of all things to break the too-positive tension. what even.

18:44 - and then them both immediately laughing

18:55 - ooo the mystery. he was getting ready for the YouTube pride thing at this point. we still don’t know what was supposed to come after that 🙁

19:14 - Phil looks like he had had a haircut too between filming and editing...would like to see some filmed clips of that

19:21 - and this bit made me cry the first time I watched. and still occasionally 😭

19:34 - supportive Phil

19:55 - “it’s too late now” because this has been uploaded and more because their life is already just shared

19:56 - I wonder if Phil had Dan review the rest of the video as usual and then tacked this on just before uploading. and then somehow had to get him to watch the whole thing again after that. Dan’s comment on the video (that Phil liked) is also just so much 🥺

Probably my favorite video of 2021. I mean...it is everything. It’s definitely the video I currently rewatch the most.

It was uploaded just four days before YWGTTN was released. Dan was doing tons promo around this time, which Phil was apparently helping with. I honestly still can’t believe Dan let Phil cut his hair before he was on camera SO MUCH for that promo. Phil’s dizziness issue had also started happening around or shortly before this time, as he was already having scans for that (1, 2) in mid-May.
