OJ Simpson and the Pitfalls of Sporting Stardom

  OJ Simpson’s life was marked by accusations of murder, domestic violence, and armed robbery. His trajectory serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of granting athletes unchecked privilege. It’s a reminder for parents, coaches, and educators to be mindful of the values they instill in young athletes. The Audio Commentary with Dan Riley is enclosed in this blog.  We hope you listen to this…

The Dark Side of Online Gambling and Sport Betting

As we read in Part 1 of this 2 part series online gambling has grown in popularity, providing players with the convenience of being able to gamble from the comfort of their own homes. However, there is an increasingly growing dark side to online gambling that is often overlooked including addiction, fraud, and the negative impact on sports. One of the most significant issues with online gambling…

CELEB'S WIFE DARKSIDE: TASHA (Part I)

TASHA

Sebagai fapper tegar, tentu la aku ada taste & preferences tersendiri. Antara taste yang aku sangat susah nak move on... isteri orang atau lagi best disebut hot wifey. Dulu masa aku mula-mula fapping, aku susah nak brain kenapa kawan aku boleh turn on dengan orang yang dah kena lenjan berkali-kali oleh partner dia. Tapi bila ada beberapa peristiwa melibatkan isteri orang ni, aku boleh letakkan 100% keyakinan isteri orang berkali ganda mengghairahkan dari semua sudut.

Aku nak reveal dulu beberapa hot wifey yang aku layan. Kali ni aku share wife selebriti. Menarik benda ni sebab sebagai wife selebriti tentu tak lepas dari daya tarikan public. So yeahhh, perkenalkan Tasha isteri kepada penyanyi.

Tasha bagi aku sangat underrated. Kawan-kawan aku even tak pernah kenal siapa dia. Tapi bagi aku, Tasha ada daya penarik tersendiri. Muka dia memang bagi aku tak sangat menaikkan nafsu. Muka jenis plain. Tapi kalau aku tengok body dia, fuhhh dia memang ada pakej hot wifey. Body bini orang tak perlu perfect. Chubby, montok, sedap ditampar-tampar. Pakej ni masa dia anak dara lagi dah ada. Lagi satu, perwatakan Tasha ni agak bitchy. Dia bawa karakter macam ala cikaro sikit, suka ride motor, sport, etc. Benda macam ni buatkan kita tau sexual level dia macam mana. Dia jenis yang akan biarkan partner dominate dia kaw kaw. Tasha tak kisah kalau partner dia cuckold atau gangbang dengan cara paling extreme. Outfit dia pun menunjukkan dia suka macam tu. Animal prints antara favourite Tasha pakai. Nampak sangat slutty bila dia pakai leapord atau zebra print. Tapi Tasha masih cover jugak aura sexual dia. Dia cuma tunjuk kepada sapa yang berminat. Aku personally cuma follow dia masa Tasha anak dara. Belum sampai tahap maximum turn on.

Bila Tasha dah married, ni la turning point sebenar. Anak dara transform to hot wifey. Masa dia pakai dress kawin pun, aku dah nampak bayangan tu. Muka dia dah nampak aura sex. Walaupun boobs dia tak terlalu besar, Tasha ada asset utama iaitu bontot. Bontot Tasha memang power. Memang gedabak besar. Dekat sini semua benda boleh try. Macam-macam skills boleh cuba.

Tasha dah jadi makin slut. Tudung dah on off. Rambut panjang dia memang antara yang aku turn on. Masa doggy atau Tasha ride dekat atas, boleh bayangkan dia layan rambut panjang dia mengurai sampai la dia rasa tak selesa terus dia ikat ke atas. Masa nak doggy balik, aku akan buka balik ikatan sanggul tu dan pull her hair. Doggy sambil pull the hair memang nikmat yang maximum.

Bila semua bitchy yang ada dalam diri keluar lepas married, Tasha rasa selesa untuk show off dekat public. Lepas kawin kejap je tak sampai berapa bulan, sperm dah lekat sampai la Tasha preggy. Hari hari fucking mesti la lekat. Cuma dalam keadaan make love yang kinky dan extreme macam gang bang & threesome, sperm sapa yang lekat tu menjadi persoalan.

Disebabkan circle Tasha yang ramai wife selebriti jugak menjadikan sex macam gangbang & orgy jadi pilihan. Memang sebenarnya lenjan isteri sendiri belum sampai level ultimate. Sampai la berjaya fucking isteri member & skandal dengan mana-mana hotwife. Tu puncak tertinggi make love.

Gangbang, cuckold, swinging, orgy, soft & full swapping memang jadi kegilaan dorang. Mereka akan berada dalam tempat yang best dan habis habisan lenjan. Mula-mula fucking wife sendiri lepas tu beralih kepada yang lain. Mish lepas tu doggy lepas tu wife yang ride dan paling gila dorang boleh sampai tahap double & triple anal. Damnnn. Fucking hot. Position pulak boleh maximum level tahap standing position & pile driver. Berdas-das sperm akan mencurah masuk ke dalam pussy. Arghhhh...

Sampai la semua bunting. Cuma tak tau sperm siapa. Bila Tasha preggy, ni la kemuncak aku turn on. Memang muka dia aku tak turn on sangat. Tapi bentuk body dia especially bila dia preggy boleh buat dick aku mencanak 100% tak turun-turun sampai berjam-jam. Tetek dia yang medium size akan membengkak dan paling best bontot dia tu omg aku paling tak tahan sial. Perfect butt for hotwife. Besar, pejal, lentik. Memang anal sex jadi pilihan kalau fucking Tasha. Apa lagi masa dia tengah preggy. Arghhhhh...

RATING

Face 4/10

Aku terpaksa jujur. Aku tak suka muka Tasha. Apa lagi kalau dia make up. Nampak fake. Tapi tak la sampai aku turn off. Masih berjaya buat aku terangsang. Cuma belum sampai level aku akan cum teruk dekat muka dia.

Boobs 6/10

Boobs dia medium size yang menghampiri besar. Cuma to be honest, boobs dia tak sepadan sangat dengan body dia yang chubby. Patut lagi busty. Saggy sikit tak apa. Sebab dia akan jadi hot MILF nanti. Tapi aku masih turn on tengok boobs dia especially kalau show off dengan pakai baju ketat.

Butt 10/10

Kelebihan Tasha. Bontot dia sangat padu. Besar, lebar, lentik. Semua ada dalam pakej bontot dia. Memang stok untuk doggy habis habisan dan anal sex. Bukan senang mahu cari butt macam Tasha.

Body Cutting 6.5/10

Tasha tak ada body cutting yang nice sangat. Tapi markah dia lebih separuh sebab aku sangat geram dengan body cutting dia masa preggy. Ahhhh masa tu memang sumpahhhh mengalahkan turn on aku terhadap body anak dara. Dengan tetek membengkak, perut membesar, bontot pejal. Speechless.

Sexual Attractiveness 7/10

Tasha punya sexual taste lain daripada lain. Macam aku cakap dia punya style macam cikaro & rempit yang akan benarkan member laki dia lenjan habis-habisan. So yes for gangbang, orgy, semua yang kinky beramai-ramai. Bukakke pun nice. Makin banyak dick makin cepat Tasha orgasm. Ni la kemuncak taste Tasha.

Others

Aku masuk kepada benda yang paling aku suka pasal Tasha. Sebab aku bra fetish, so paling aku turn on sebab Tasha suka show off bra hitam dia. Aku betul-betul kalah bila dia tayang tali bra hitam dia tu. Sini aku terpaksa bagi markah lebih. Too sexy.

OVERALL RATING

8/10

1. Pick a Card Reading

What is spooking them from advancing this connection?

Spooky season edition- in honor of Halloween weekend! Take what resonates and abandon all that doesn't. This is my very first collective reading, so feedback would be much appreciated! I am using the Darkside Skeleton Tarot deck and the Romance Angels oracle cards for this reading! Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and choose the deck you gravitate to! Left pile is pile 1, middle pile is pile 2, and the pile on the right is pile 3.

Pile 1-

Cards pulled: Ten of Cups, Ace of Cups, The Magician, Six of Cups, Death, Queen of Pentacles, Page of Cups, and King of Swords

Oracle Cards: "Express your love," "Very soon," and "Heart to Heart Conversations"

Ahhhh, pile 1! This is by far the sweetest pile of the bunch. I actually don't sense much fear at all on their behalf. The lack of progress most likely stems from finding the optimal timing to express their real feelings and plans for this connection's progression. They want to find the right words to say. They want to do things "the right way." They have a romantic side, and appreciate the idea of courting. They want to start off properly so that this connection could have a crack-free, sturdy foundation to support you two through the long-run. They don't perceive this union as one to take lightly. There might be an expectation that this is a relationship meant to last, so we have to get it right before we even begin. I get the sense that they will be very protective of you, and pick up on changes in your emotional state very easily. They are intelligent and well-spoken. I feel like you two might be a little different, but in a way that is complimentary. They can respect you as someone who is at their level, or shares similar values. I think they like how you two would look as a couple in terms of your appearances. They get a lot of satisfaction out of making you blush, or flirting with you. I feel like they wanted to approach you in a romantic context as soon as they first saw you. They might be the type to like to get you flowers. They want this to be emotionally enriching for you both. I see a lot of tenderness and being able to genuinely relax around one another. Your presences might be very soothing to one another, so spending time with one another feels better than not. I don't see it being unhealthy or codependent with this pile. They aren't loud and boisterous, and don't need to intentionally command attention to show their dominance or confidence in a room full of people. Maybe you two met in school, or have childhood friends in common? High school sweethearts, maybe? I feel like they might like to watch sports, or perhaps even play them. You or them might perceive the other as "dreamy." I wouldn't be surprised if one or both of you might have Pisces, Scorpio, or Cancer placements (especially pisces for some reason), but maybe even Aries. I feel like they smell good, and their perfume or cologne lingering on you after you see them fills you with butterflies. I also think butterflies might be important to someone in this connection. You like the way they dress. They come off as clean and hygienic. I feel like for some, they grew up financially comfortable or well-off. They might have been taught to be chivalrous. If this is a man, there is something about his energy that reminds me of Conrad from The Summer I Turned Pretty. I think you two might really enjoy drives together, and giggling in the car. I can see someone sharing their hoodie with the other. They might enjoy your music taste or not mind it, even if it is different than theirs. You might have a deeper connection to music than them. if this reading resonates so far, I would just give it time to unfold organically and enjoy the present.

Pile 2-

Cards pulled: 8 of Swords, 4 of Cups, The Sun, The Fool, 6 of Wands, Judgment, Knight of Pentacles, The Devil

Oracle Cards: "Healing Family Issues," "Love yourself first," and "Separation"

This is easily the most chaotic and confusing pile. This person seems extremely inconsistent, and seems to change quicker than the moon. I get air sign energy from this pile though, especially Libra energy. I don't think they necessarily have bad intentions, but they don't awaken the most positive feelings in you. I think this person tends to get a little ahead of themselves because they are so full of thoughts they can't fully interpret themselves. They think something is a great idea, get super motivated, and then all of a sudden refuses to act or changes their mind. Their flame shines super bright, but burns out quick. I think some of these people might be suffering from addiction or is an escapist. They might have family issues that have really affected them and their adult relationships. If that isn't the case, for a select few of you, you can possibly be dealing with someone who has a family with someone else that they cannot abandon to be with you without causing massive upheaval and chaos in their life. This person is pretty up and down. They might come off as the life of the party, but inside are jumbling a lot of unspoken feelings. They need to learn to love themselves first before they can properly give you the love and commitment they need. I recommend giving this person space to collect themselves. They are not thinking clearly, and might be acting impulsively and carelessly to see what fills a void. They are trying to seek joy and gratification, and want to make sure they aren't making the wrong decision and depriving themselves of the solace they are searching for. They need to sit down and reflect on a lot. Despite making rash decisions, I see they are also really scared of making mistakes that will cast judgment on them. They might overcommit to plans with friends so that they can avoid their inner wounds (I feel like they are kind of popular too). They can be in the middle of some sort of spiral, and it is best to not get too wrapped up in their tornado. "I also hear that they don't trust themselves." I see them as someone who is financially frivolous. All of this isn't to say that they do not care about you as a person, but they might be too wrapped up in discovering themselves to truly give you the intimacy and stability you might crave. Give them time to come back down to Earth.

Pile 3-

Cards pulled: 9 of Pentacles, The Hermit, 7 of Cups, 5 of Cups, 4 of Pentacles, The Emperor, The High Priestess, The Lovers

Oracle Cards: "Forgiving and learning," "Romantic feelings," "Honeymoon"

Pile 3! For some reason, I can't stop thinking about this person as being a little bit on the alt side. Maybe they have wavy/curly/or messy hair and it is one of the things you find the most attractive about them. They might skate, or look like they skate I feel like? They look like a "sad boy" or maybe an "e-girl" depending on what gender you are inquiring about. I feel like they might like to read a lot, or are starting to get into reading. They give me Aries energy, or maybe another fire sign. I think their fears on furthering this connection with you comes from fears of not being good enough or fear of rejection. I think this person is going through changes and re-evaluating their past mistakes and tendencies so that they can become a more stable and mature version of themselves. I think they are a hopeless romantic at heart, but they are also someone who requires a lot of reassurance. I think they need to spend a lot of time with you before they can feel comfortable expressing their feelings because they are constantly trying to read the vibe of the room. They might be extremely self-aware or sensitive to their environment to the point it can become really overwhelming to them to process so much at once. They might be the type to ruminate on the things they said to someone once they leave that social interaction. I think they might be waiting for you to give them a definite sign first before confessing their feelings so that they know they are not crazy and misreading the dynamic. I feel like they might have a small circle of friends, but they are super important to them. I think they find you to be gentle. They might love to daydream a lot. They get lost in their thoughts and forget time is passing that they don't really make a move. They might be assertive and quick-witted in other situations, but not so much in love. They might be the type to enjoy watching romantic comedies with you. They want a relaxed love. They are a softy, I feel like. I also wouldn't be surprised if they also have Pisces or Taurus placements. Maybe they were born in June, or June is an important month for you two? They would not want to share you with anyone else, and would want to make sure you have feelings for absolutely no one but them. They will not handle that heartbreak well, and will lament on it for a very long time. They think very deeply and ponder as well. If it is a man, I can sense them being in tune with their feminine side. They also might be very intuitive. I feel like they will defend the ones they love with every ounce of their being. Introducing you to their friends might be a bigger gesture than you think. I think they just need to work on their confidence. Reassurance is big in this pile. I think they like to watch and admire you, and appreciate your physical beauty.

Hello, this is a request only if you are interested, I understand if you don't wanna do it. It's really hurt/comfort stuff with the intention of softness and comfort at the end. It's meant to be a Samael x s/o drabble. So basically, Lilith kidnapps s/o (seeing them as the horsemen's pet) and winds up torturing them so she can give them as a gift to Samael, not knowing how he really feels about s/o. (You don't have to be descriptive of what Lilith does, the overall premise is blood, pain, tears, and stuff. She's a mean bitch). Samael is given his s/o in really bad shape (not dead). It's up to you how it plays out, but I imagined he shows s/o a gentleness that's only for them as he tries to help them and take care of and assess their injuries. Lilith meanwhile is either jealous or disgusted by the show of mercy, (not what she expected). Maybe Samael flies into a rage upon seeing the human in such a pitiful way or he plays it cool and waits for an opening to be alone with them so he can help. It's up to you, I just wanna see Samael be all soft and gentle and show he cares about s/o. Thank you again for your generosity. I also have a different more smutty idea if you don't wanna do this one. Completely separate from this one.

Author's Note: I've never actually written for Samael at all before, I love his character but I'd never considered it, so this was a fun exercise. This is my first time writing Samael, so please excuse anything that may seem a little OOC while I get the hang of his character.

Summary: Samael saves his little songbird from the mouth of a cat.

Relationships: Samael/Fem!Reader

Warnings: Canon typical violence, Bruises, illuding to torture but no actual torture, Stockholm syndrome??? I guess, Fluff, Some brief references towards the Darksiders book 'The Abomination Vault' which is good go read it,

"Well now,"

His voice carries through the stone laden room, a booming deepness that even when he's only speaking casually, sounds almost as if he's addressing a group.

Samael.

You know the name; Lilith has mentioned it more than once when she talks to her servants and lesser demons. Those few snippets pale in comparison to seeing him, seeing how he towers larger than almost every other demon you've seen; Though still maintains a humanoid-esque shape.

You were apparently- in a way- his gift.

Lilith had cooed it to you more than once before, though she'd mostly been talking at you, as if an ornament. Rarely does she give things that don't amuse her the time of day; And simply chattering to a being she considers far inferior without inflicting some sort of suffering doesn't qualify.

It's the better of many other potential outcomes, at least. You'll take it. It isn't as if there's a choice anyhow.

Samael briefly glances in your direction, one large finger presses on the bottom of the cage that confines you as if to stop it's slow swaying, before his eyes turn back to Lilith. You've noticed her watching with intent, clearly focused on his reaction. If you had to guess, she wants something, and is hoping this will be the ticket towards pulling that favor.

"Where did you get this?"

The links of her chain belt 'tink' against each other, as she walks closer, glancing up towards the larger demon for but a moment.

"Just a little bit of sport; I know you've always been interested in Humanities, goings on."

Lilith finds it all dreadfully boring; At least anything that doesn't benefit or at least amuse her in one way or another. The demon lord takes another glance in your direction, the sharp points of the teeth visible behind his just barely parted lips.

Samael would've been quite interested in knowing how she managed such a feat, especially around the Council's watch, but Lilith seems too disinterested in the human she's captured to answer. She's much more interested in his reaction, or whatever she can get out of it. Even as boundary pushing as Samael can be, he isn't too eager to have the Council hot on his back. As well as the Horsemen; They are quite eager to keep Humanity protected, and are more than willing to obliterate anyone who goes against The Council's rulings.

Samael isn't too eager to deal with the mess of that; Particularly if it involves the youngest.

"You can do whatever you wish with it," Lilith says, her tone lightening and stringing the second half of her sentence with an almost singing tone. "Consider it a gift."

Her eyes move from the large openings in the wall revealing the dreadful hellish sky, an unreadable expression on her face. One might assume it's sultry, and that wouldn't be entirely wrong, but there is far more there; And it goes far deeper.

"You should come by more often. I have far more interesting pets than little humans." Samael's gaze turns from you to her.

"That, I am already well aware of." She seems unhappy with his response, though it seems positive on pure words alone. Maybe there's an undertone that exists only between them.

When she's departed, it's impossible not to feel the way your heart drops in your chest when you see Samael's full attention turn to you. It's just his head turned your way at first, before he fully turns and with loud, thundering steps against broken cobblestone, does he make his way towards you. The cuts and scrapes on your hands hurt as you support your weight, but the pain pushed to the back of your mind in place of fear.

The last time you had a demon's full attention was Lilith, and she isn't one who's attention you want.

"Tell me,"

You don't miss the way his tone of voice seems to change a bit now that he's speaking directly to you; Though it's easy to just assume it's purely manipulative.

"Do you sing, little songbird?"

You don't answer, mouth and throat dry. Fear is a permeant emotion to you now, and you feel it rising up more and more as you feel his glowing eyes focus on you. The way your heart hammers on your collarbone, breath short and ragged. Your jaw hurts from how tense it's been for ages, lips split and cracked.

Samael gives the cage a soft 'bonk' with one knuckle, just enough to send it shaking back and forth. It wobbles and forces you to hang on, watching him as he watches you stumble about. He can see the perpetual fear in your eyes, the way your body is slowly giving away to the amount of hazards it's been through. He's not sure how long you've been here, but it couldn't be that long, if you still have your wits about you.

Lilith always did enjoying playing with her toys until they broke.

Samael has never really made sense of it. In all of his centuries he's always operated with a goal in mind, doing whatever he could to get to it. Lilith's motives sometimes seem, short-sighted. Maybe even a little dull.

But this, now this is interesting.

Samael hasn't seen a human in many years, and while the clothing you wear is different, humanity still maintains the form the Creator originally shaped them in.

That form is, soft.

He can see the tops of your hands and wrists are dirty, covered in small bruises, the same sort running along your neck and cheeks. Your eyes are wide, darting over every inch of him in fear.

Samael stops.

Maybe it's boredom. Maybe it's the desire for something a little bit different.

Samael is old. Far older than your realm, and anything that's been built on it. But in all of those years, Earth has remained a tantalizingly forbidden fruit. The Council forbade access centuries ago, and as such, Samael has been restricted to hearing of Humanity's accomplishments and fumbling through stolen artifacts and hushed whispers.

So he's, curious.

Everything he's ever heard of humanity has been what they lack in strength they make up for in ingenuity, and creativity. And depravity; Depending on the demon you ask.

The long, clawed hand that had just rapped against the cage's bars now holds the lock, fiddling with it before he snaps it between his fingers. When the shattered pieces fall to the ground, the cage's door slowly creaks open. You eye the giant demon, as he seems look at you expectantly. There's no shortage of amusement on his face, either.

"What, you think I won't try to run?" Samael laughs, a deep baritone you can feel in your chest.

"By all means, go right ahead. Whatever you run into out there will be far less inviting than myself." He can see the thought run through your little head, until you make a choice.

You move closer towards him, hedging a bet that he'll be better than Lilith, and whatever she had in store for you.

You've seen that throne of Lilith, and her pets. Her creativity knows no bounds. Whatever end you might meet with Samael, is far better than that.

You let the larger demon take you, leaving one unknown for another.

It might've been easy for someone to scold you on not hearing him coming up behind you, but in your defense, it's easy to miss; Especially when one is distracted.

His footfall is softer than one might expect, though one probably wouldn't exactly call it soft at all. It's his voice you end up hearing first anyways, looking over your shoulder the minute it hits your ears.

"So this is where you've been off to."

You turn around, looking up as Samael approaches. His wings are casually half-folded, watching as you fiddle with a large decorative vase.

Samael's palace is huge. Enough so that it's quite easy to get completely lost.

Far better than a cage; At least in your opinion.

You don't know exactly how long it's been since you left Lilith, but it's not been enough time. The improvement has been astronomical, and you no longer feel the constant, heart pounding fear that had been permanent for so long.

Samael is, oddly nice. You'd expected it to be mostly a ploy, but while you know he's a demon, one capable many, many things, he hasn't tried anything yet.

And so you find yourself almost enjoying his company, and the idea of leaving him now almost seems like a negative. You'd miss him.

"I just wanted to take a look around."

You don't think it would qualify as a 'treasure room', but the large open space is littered with a variety of things; From broken weapons to odd pieces of art that seem clearly inhuman. Most seem to be stolen from battlefields judging by the overall wear and tear, but it' hard to be sure. Some seems like it almost hails from Hell itself, much to your surprise.

Who would've thought demons would be so artistic.

"There is far more worth seeing than whatever rubbish you were throwing around. Let me show you." He kneels just enough to gesture towards you with his hand, and you know what he's asking you to do.

As step closer Samael's eyes rake over your body, taking note of the way most of the bruises and cuts have faded away. What's left is a much more fresh face, one that isn't battered and showing of fear and fatigue.

He lets you up onto his shoulders with a gentle boost, and you take roost quickly. He can feel the gentle touch of your hands on his scale-like skin, as you hold on. He'll show you sights that Humanity has yet to see, or hasn't in millennia.

Glancing up towards you he sees the way you're eagerly waiting, and begins walking.

I just need to add to the conversation, it’s something I think about all the time.

Daniel Ricciardo is annoying, there is no doubt there, he is loud, obnoxious and a bit of a dickhead bloke type. And the people around him either play into it and give it back tenfold (Max and sometimes Lando) or just find him annoying and want to shut him up (Hulk).

I also find that’s probably why he’s so divisive for fans at times. I find him annoying all the time, he can’t shut up and thinks he’s funnier than he actually is, but I find that annoying (affectionate). Meanwhile some people take those same interactions and find it annoying (derogatory)

you are correct. to me, the fact that he's kinda darksided and annoying is what makes him more compelling and slay to me. i don't want them just nice! i want them with claws and teeth and stuff that has me going uurghhhhhh..... like i think it's kinda funnn that daniel refused to race in a diff series/realized he wanted to go back to f1 partly because he likes the glamour of it all the show the clout the attention...... the exclusiveness..... i can imagine that getting a reaction like well. that's kinda lame like you should be racing for the SPORT for the PASSION but i actually think it's extremely fun that a part of daniel craves something kinda seedy you know? sidenote but i actually think this is why max and daniel work so well together because they match each other's energy in such specific ways that it kind of cancels out their own inherent annoyingness if that makes sense. like when daniel was trying to gel with lando and lando was just nawt giving him the reaction he was aiming for.... it kind of heightens daniel's annoyingness. because you're like what is this fcking guy trying so hard for.......and when max is going :| and other people are trying to draw him out you're just kinda like god why is this guy making it SO difficult. but i have been saying like.... max and daniel are each other's disco balls and they reflect only the best of each other back to the world and that's why it works.

for oc relationship ask

13, 47, 54,

For Cait and Sam!

13. What is something they find hot about their S/O?

The thing Sam finds most hot about Cait is her enthusiasm. He loves seeing her shake off the shyness and reserve and start throwing herself into life full-bore, and when that enthusiasm is turned on him? Fires up his reactor something fierce. He also has a fascination with her eyes; he loves seeing the shift and swirl of their hues. And when the color in her eyes goes cool and dark and comes in lazy swirls…

To no one's surprise, Cait finds Sam's voice an utter turn-on, especially when it drops an octave, goes all rough and quiet like they're the only two people in the universe… this will be explored in more detail in an upcoming chapter. A close second is his scent: sandalwood and spice from his cologne, well-cared-for leather, and the hint of salt and Akilan dust that just can't be gotten out of his hat. Voice and scent both hit Cait in the primal part of herself that she's just now starting to recognize, much less come to terms with…

47. If it ever came down to it, who is turning to the darkside to save the other?

Cait. Cait will absolutely sacrifice everything she has, everything she is, to keep Sam and Cora safe. What she has yet to understand is that, should that ever come to pass, Sam will follow her down and drag her back up into the light.

54. What's something that they don't really care for but tolerate because S/O has an interest?

For Cait? Sports. She gets that people enjoy it on an intellectual level, but the idea of taking vicarious pleasure in stylized violence just does not click with her. But Sam enjoys it, and that means she's content to stretch out on a couch with her head on his thigh, half-napping while he watches the latest game. It's something Sam appreciates, even if he doesn't have the same problem. At least in the early days of their relationship, Cait's interests are very similar to his (exploration, adventure, discovery). The closest he might come would be Cait's love of books; he's less of a reader than Cait, but he's fine with that because it's an interest Cait and Cora share, and he adores watching his girls bonding over a good book. So less toleration and more intense approval.

Darksiders 2 except you start the game with Death wearing a beat up sports bra and halfway thru the game he finally finds the time for top surgery and you continue the game in his shirtless glory and either no one comments on it or everyone is like “ ah you finally Reaped those things huh ? “

15 Questions, 15 Mutuals

Thanks to @trainsinanime for the tag!

1. Are you named after anyone?

Nope!

2. When was the last time you cried?

Last time I cried a solid amount was when watching Space Sweepers (2021) the other week... the ending got to me. More generally if you count tearing up or shedding a tear or two I'm quite vulnerable to those feel-good tender videos of like, marriage proposals and shelter animals finding a home etc etc, and unfortunately I have been using tiktok and it's learned that I watch and like those videos, so I probably shed a tear yesterday or the day before over one of those little things.

3. Do you have kids?

No

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

On occasion, but I wouldn't call that a defining trait of mine.

5. What sports do you play/have played?

Ahaha no. For real though, I was a theater kid back in high school, so the closest thing I did to a sport may have been dancing.

6. What’s the first thing you notice about someone?

Probably hair?

7. What’s your eye color?

Blue

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

HAPPY ENDINGS. I hate scary movies so much, I'm so weak to whatever emotions a story creator is trying to elicit (thus why I cry at so many tender movies/videos) but that means if it's a scary movie I will be legitimately SCARED and TERRIFIED. Bad time.

9. Any special talents?

Not particularly special but I play a little piano and guitar.

10. Where were you born?

United States of America

11. What are your hobbies?

Uhh making music, drawing, writing... basically anything with a creation/storytelling component I think is fun :D.

12. Do you have pets?

Not at the moment

13. How tall are you?

5' 7" (~170cm)

14. Favorite subject in school?

Music classes

15. Dream job?

I actually am having a pretty good time at my job right now... tho I suppose being paid to do nothing would be even better XD.
