(nsfw link !!) sub! beomgyu when he finally gets to eat you out, wasting no time in practically smothering his whole face between your thighs eagerly, licking and lapping like a starved puppy, shuddering and shakily gripping your thighs, trying to keep it together. He’s pathetically muffling out loud whines and moans against your pussy as you roughly tug and pull at the strands of his shaggy wolfcut, pushing his face even closer that he’s suffocating but it’s not like he’s complaining, he loves how you’re pulling his hair and suffocating him in your pretty pussy. Gyu flicking his tongue back and forth over your clit then wrapping his entire plump lips, sucking so fervently, looking up at you with his needy teary brown puppy eyes and wanting praise bc he wants to be such a good boy for you ! but then and also seeing his thick doll lashes kissing his cheek when he’s so concentrated and so serious on making you feel good, squeezing his eyes shut, he’s humping the bed himself desperately for some sort of friction on his poor leaky hard cock by now and he’s trying so hard not to cum right then and there untouched and pathetically.
When you finally orgasm, it’s hard to get him to pull away, he just buries his face impossibly even further, nuzzling his face and still fervently trying to make out with your pussy. You have to tut and pull him by his hair away, he pouts but he has such a dumb fucked out look on his face, eyes half lidded and completely glazed over, tongue lolling out, panting like a dog with a hot flushed face, saliva still connecting from his tongue and your pussy and he stares at you with a faraway look in his face, his lips are all swollen and glossy with your juices and his spit and beomgyu slowly dips one of his pretty long fingers in your hole just to bring it out and look at them covered in wetness and stickiness, then brings it to his lips and sucks on them, moaning loudly, and licking around his lips as well, presses kisses and hickeys to your inner thighs too.

Word Count: 3.1k
Tag List: @jaybirdstreet @gallusstuff @meowkn @velvetberries @i0lovepink00 @rayaskoalaland @spidernuggets @janybabyy @deimks @yasmin-oviedo @bigraga-sk
yourmom34: Why am I kinda invested?
imjasonsrightleg: Bye, update me when they start dating
potatoislyfe: He has chemistry with EVERYONE
notrealroyharper: THAT SHOULD BE ME
bigbootylicious87: Is it just me or are they entirely different from that press conference???
justicefortacoman: I can’t believe Jason moved on from taco man :(
“I can’t believe this.” You said to yourself, setting down your phone to no longer read the comments.
Leaning forward until your arms rested on your knees as you sat on the couch.
You had completed one full interview with Jason. His management wanted to film it. A new press strategy to help their racers gain more popularity outside the track.
You had agreed.
Broadcast journalism had been an area of interest because of the age of the internet and how fast news can spread through social media.
Now they wanted you and Jason to interact.
Jason’s social media team had pitched that you two sit down, you ask him questions and Jason would be the charismatic man he was.
It was simple, something you had done with many athletes, but it was Jason. A man you had multiple meals with, volunteered with, and almost…nevermind.
You thought you masked it well, set personal away from professionalism, but you were clearly wrong from the comments on the video.
You had watched it on your phone, curiosity scratching at you when you cooked lunch. Then when you couldn’t take it, you pressed the play button.
You were in denial. Ever since you came back from your volunteer work on Jason’s motorcycle, you had tried to play everything off with as much nonchalance as possible.
You didn’t mention how close your faces were that day. He dropped you off after the work in Crime Alley. You waved goodnight.
You didn’t see him until you got the call from your company. The interview filmed, quickly edited, released and you continued to deny.
But how were you supposed to deny what you saw on the tiny phone screen. It was out in the open, the public knew, you knew.
Did Jason know?
Did he see what you denied to yourself?
Or maybe he was just too good at looking good with anyone?
His fan base even made a running joke to pretend he has chemistry with anyone he interacts with in public.
You were just the next contestant.
That had to be it.
jasonjustonechance51: Was Jason kinda…shy?
redhoodsgyatt: I’VE NEVER SEEN THAT FOINE MAN LAUGH LIKE THAT IM IN LOVE?
tortillagrease861: I don’t know who this beautiful man is but I need him.
redbulljasonismywater69: I was trying to gatekeep him, but I guess I can share cause everyone deserves to see this man smile
poopoobatman417: He is so boyfriend
You threw your phone back onto the couch cushion, reading anymore comments was not helping.
After calming down and a movie break, you checked Jason’s social media and Red Bull’s racing account. There were the usual clips, Roy and Jason being the most popular duo.
Multiple edits and clips of them doing miscellaneous things. It wasn’t that bad, maybe you weren’t his focus right now.
But you were conflicted, it was good if the video of the two of you went well. It was better than being popular from negativity.
You could live with this.
A notification popped up on the top of your screen, perfect font displaying “Mr. Todd has sent a message.”
Speak of the devil.
Mr. Todd: want anything?
You clicked on an image of a menu.
He always knew how to get you. A late night meal wouldn’t hurt.
You: Miss me already?
You: Combo, medium, sprite
Mr. Todd: kay
Mr. Todd: my place or yours
Oh no.
You had just come to terms with thinking you meant nothing to this man.
You watched three dots float at the bottom of the messages, anticipation eating at you.
Mr. Todd: couldn’t get enough of you after the interview
You needed to check yourself into the hospital at this rate.
Fuck read receipts, now you needed to respond.
You: bro I don’t know where u live
Mr. Todd: bro I can just tell u
You: bro my place
You’re an idiot.
Mr. Todd: Brok
You: brok?
Mr. Todd: bro + ok
You: return my food
Mr. Todd: too late I already left and the kind lady gave me a free drink
You: I hope u drop ur free drink
Mr. Todd: no sprite for u then
You: wait
You: the sprite is innocent
Mr. Todd: this hurts me more than it hurts u
You saw a picture appear in the messages. He was holding the cup of sprite over a familiar ledge. The ledge of your apartment building floor.
You grabbed your keys, pulled on some quick sneakers, haphazardly put on, laces loose. You raced out of your apartment, quickly locking the door and running down the hall.
You ran to see Jason near the open ledge, night air surrounding him. Seeing his face turn to you, a smile spreading on his face.
You ran to save your sprite from his evil hands.
“Aw, so excited to see me that you didn’t put on your shoes properly.” Jason quipped, letting you take the hostage from his hands.
After securing your drink, your turned around. Eyeing Jason from your side.
He waited, a soft look on his face.
“Well, are you coming?” You walked forward, small smile perfectly hidden from Jason’s view.
——
You had sat down in front of your TV, putting your drink on the coffee table. You grabbed the remote trying to browse through several movies.
Jason had followed you in through the front door, taking off his shoes as soon was he walked in. He slowly walked toward you, taking a good look around your apartment.
You tried not to look at him, choosing to focus on your TV screen as he surveyed your one-bedroom apartment.
As he slowly stepped, you decided to chance one look at him.
Your eyes shifted toward his tall figure, he was oddly focused on your window, set near the small dining table.
It was a last-minute decision after you realized the format of your living room and kitchen. You liked watching the outside as you ate.
“Welcome to my home. Sorry for the mess, I didn’t get the chance to clean up after you took my sprite hostage.” You leaned your head on your hand, resting yourself on the coffee table as you watched Jason.
“Don’t worry about it, also you should lock your window.” Jason spoke.
You glanced toward the object in question, the latch was undone when you opened it earlier that day. You must’ve forgotten. It was a similar bad habit as never locking your balcony door.
Who would climb through that? Well, besides Batman, you don’t expect any visitors.
“Oh, sometimes I forget. But let’s eat first.” You shrugged.
Jason set the food down next to you, you felt the warmth radiating from the bag.
“I got it, your food should be the one on top.” Jason eyed the window, walking to it, snapping the lock into place.
You gasped.
“You ordered the other meal I wanted to try!” You smiled in excitement.
Jason turned back to sit down next to you. Lazily leaning against the foot of the couch.
He raised an eyebrow at the sparkle in your eyes, a silent question obvious on your face.
“Wanna try a piece?” Jason asked, giving in to the longing look.
“Aw, thanks Mr. Todd.” You dug into the two meals in front of you.
Jason moved to sit closer to you. Your excitement over the food distracting you, delaying your nervousness and your earlier debate with yourself.
As you took a bite, happy with the combination, you clicked on a movie. Letting it play as you and Jason ate.
“I thought you were kidding when you asked me if I liked the movie Cars.” Jason said in disbelief as he watched.
“It was for the interview…and I was genuinely curious.” You kept your eyes on the screen.
“Sweetheart, I don’t race in NASCAR. You know that.” Jason looked at you, astonished.
“I know, I think it’s hilarious.” You flatly said, focused on the movie in front of you. “You give off Lightning McQueen vibes.”
Jason nearly choked on his food.
“I feel like I should be offended.” Jason, stunned, looked at you.
You ignored him, letting him fret about your words as you finished your meal.
After Jason gave in and continued to watch the movie with you, you had cleaned up and the two of you moved onto the actual couch.
The soft cushions letting you sink in, sinking toward Jason who also dipped the couch. Letting a blanket droop over your legs.
He had taken his hoodie off, throwing it over a dining chair. Jason was clearly comfy for the night, in sweatpants and a t-shirt that hugged him nicely.
You were content letting your body relax. Watching animated cars as Jason, the fastest formula 1 driver, sat near you in your apartment.
With a full stomach and in pajamas.
Crazy how things worked out.
You smiled at your realization.
Your eyes felt heavy, the couch warm next to Jason.
Jason mindlessly watched the movie, pouting a little that he couldn’t believe that you thought of him like the red car.
Then he felt your weight on his shoulder.
He glanced to his side, seeing the top of your head. His heart raced. You had fallen asleep, a nice weight to his shoulder.
He saw your eyelashes, beautifully laid flat onto your cheeks as you gave into your sleepiness.
Call him a bad man, but he leaned his head on top of yours. Nuzzling into you.
You were probably going to wake up flustered, but he enjoyed making you nervous.
Seeing your ears going perfectly red.
Jason didn’t know what color he liked, he ended up with many things, falling into the rhythm of going with the flow. His racing career, his instincts to ask his manager to set up an interview with the talkative reporter, continuing to get lunch with you.
Now he was here, feeding you, sitting on your couch.
Getting more infatuated with the lil’ reporter he’s growing close to.
He learned something new today.
He realized his favorite color was the shade of your flustered ears.
——
You were stirring awake, your eyes slowly blinking into the faint light from the floor lamp. Majority of the darkness still around you.
You must have fallen asleep.
But how could you resist? It was warm around you.
As your consciousness entered your mind, you realized a weight around you. Fitted loosely around your waist, a soft fabric touching your face, slow even breaths slightly moving the hairs on your head.
Your eyes widened.
Jason was curled around you. At some point in between your nap, you and Jason had laid on the couch. Fully extending your bodies, falling into each other to fit perfectly into the soft cushions.
Oh no. You stiffened.
Jason started to stir awake, instinctually feeling the heightened panic from you next to him.
He slightly stretched his body, taking a deep inhale before releasing it, then slowly opening his eyes to look down at you. Your big eyes meeting his.
He sleepily smiled, pulling his arm around you closer to him. Somehow managing to get you even closer to him.
You felt his heartbeat through his shirt.
A lovely feeling.
“Jason.” You spoke into his t-shirt.
“Hm?” Jason grumbled, trying to wake up, but refusing.
“I think you accidentally fell asleep.” You moved your head, so your words weren’t mumbled into his body.
“I was going to leave.” Jason yawned. “You fell asleep and I laid you down on the couch, but you grabbed my shirt.” He smirked, eyes closed.
You moved your head, raising your chin toward Jason’s head above yours.
Your faces more parallel.
“What do you mean?” You quietly asked him, clearly surprised by the current situation, but still mindful of the sleepy man.
“You wouldn’t let go of me, so I tried sitting on the edge of the couch, but your grip never loosened. Then you kept tugging, so I finally laid down.” Jason continued to explain with his eyes closed, trying to keep his fatigue. “You have a deadly drip by the way.”
“I’m sorry.” You sighed.
“Why do you always do that?” He asked confused.
“Do what?”
“You always back away every time I get closer.” Jason’s eyebrows lowered, slight frustration in his tone. He was very expressive despite his eyes still closed.
“I don’t do that.”
“You were about to.” Jason pouted.
“I’m still laying next to you, I’m not backing away.” You retorted.
“You know that’s not what I meant. I can feel your negativity surrounding you.”
“Come on…I just,” You hesitated. “I just don’t want to bother you, to possibly cause a misunderstanding.”
Jason’s eyes opened, full seriousness in his gaze.
“What if I want you to bother me.” He directly told you, eyes never leaving yours.
Your faces nearly touching, the tips of your ears reddening. Curse your blood flow.
“I don’t understand.” You stammered, scared to peak into the direction this was going.
“I want to bother your life and I want you to bother mine. You make me feel alive because I want to talk to you, even when you don’t want to talk, I still want your time.” Jason directly told you.
You didn’t know what to say. Your heart racing as he continued to hold you, your faces close to one another, legs intertwined. His voice admitting what you’ve been scared to say.
It was out in the open. Clear as day.
Maybe it was meant to be this simple.
You were just too anxious and stubborn to call it what it was.
You kept Jason’s stare, his determination never faltering.
You pulled your hand from in between your bodies, releasing it from the depths of the blanket. You caressed his face, smoothing out the lines in between his eyebrows, softening his expression.
You smiled at your ability to control this man.
Maybe to the public he was rowdy, uncontrollable. But when you faced him, he was ready to come running when you held out a hand, waiting to rest his face in it.
He waited for your touch, your words, your quick glances.
You were the same. Ready to touch him, sing his name, memorize his smile.
You could barely contain yourself.
You leaned forward, kissing the man you longed for.
Your very first initiation towards him. No longer backing away.
You gently pressed into him. Both of your eyes closed, focusing on blurred touches of skin.
You want to touch him. You want more.
You rubbed where the back of his head met his neck, feeling the prick of his hair on your fingers. Your thumb rubbing behind his ear.
Jason matched you, letting feeling take over him.
He gripped your jaw, stretching your neck, adding another layer of desperation to your kiss.
Jason selfishly took your shared breaths.
When he wasn’t satisfied with that he moved to lean himself over you, but you put a hand to his chest.
Stopping him.
In his confusion, eyes glossed over, he only looked at you, his mind trying to catch up.
You ended up rolling him over, your body laid on top of his, Jason laid flat on his back. He reached up to cup his hands to your face.
You leaned down, deepening the kiss.
You had no reason to hold back. If it was this simple to be with Jason, you wanted to waste no more time on what ifs.
You were comfortable, letting your body fall onto Jason’s solid body. You wanted to feel more of him.
You readjusted yourself, straddling his waist near the waist band of his sweatpants. Jason panting, his breaths haggard.
You sat up fully, taking in the full image of him. It was beautiful.
“You’re gorgeous.” Jason breathed, in awe.
He gripped the sides of your waist, rubbing through your shirt.
Despite never removing any clothes, you were just as worked up.
You panted.
You internally thanked your unconscious self for keeping a death grip on this man.
You leaned down, nipping at Jason’s neck.
A sweet melody filled with Jason’s voice gasping. You felt every breath and vibration as you focused on his neck.
Letting yourself mark him just above his collarbone.
You looked down, hazily rating your work.
Jason reached up and rubbed your cheek. His soft touch contrasting your desperation.
The rising sun, letting in a soft glow through the large window near your dining table.
What a great way to start your morning.
You didn’t wake up this early, but to do this with Jason, you might have to start changing your routine.
Jason laid you back down to lean on top of him, He breathed into your neck as he held you close to him.
His large hands holding the back of your head, rubbing small circles.
“I told you I’m not backing away.” You smiled into Jason’s hair.
“I believe you now.” Jason chuckled, content in the comforting weight of you.
——
After another quick nap, you and Jason woke up, both of your hairs in a mess.
You were groggy, trying to help yourself to a cup of anything this morning, tea or coffee.
You watched Jason from your kitchen counter, he was learning where everything was. Memorizing the cabinets and drawers.
His broad back, a great view in your kitchen.
Your poor dining table window falling to second place.
You were in a daze watching his shoulders flex through the fabric of his shirt. It was like a switch flipped in you.
You shook your head, focusing back on the contents of your cup.
Jason made a cup of coffee, finally facing you. Leaning on the opposite counter.
Your eyes lowered to his stretched-out t-shirt around his neck.
You found what you were looking for, a purple blemish on his collarbone.
What a great morning.
Jason caught wind of your stare. Setting his cup down, caving you in-between his arms as he leaned on your counter.
It’s like you were made to be in his arms.
You giggled, trying to continue sipping on your cup. Letting Jason kiss around any opening of your face that wasn’t on the cup.
He was enjoying the moment, taking his time until you wanted to let him break.
When you had enough of the tickling sensation, you lifted your chin, letting Jason fully take your mouth.
The taste of coffee flooding you.
After your morning shenanigans in the kitchen, you spent the rest of the morning lounging, stealing kisses, possibly adding another blemish to match the other one.

mamma mia (again) ! daniel r. x ofc (måneskin member! ofc)
“they ask me why i’m so hot, ‘cause i’m italiano.”
summary: a series of video clips, but it’s only just danny ric being in love with a certain lester alessandro.
content warning: hint or two of suggestive comments (nothing detailed or graphic), use of explicit language, filler blurb or something, danny being a simp for few videos straight (“have my kids” type beat), lester being an etsy and pinterest enthusiast, literally posted this blurb from my phone so they’re crazy about their image limits 😩
note: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE 105 FOLLOWERS?! UHM? seriously, i’ve never been so happy. i honestly only started posting these because i have them ingrained in my brain and won’t let go until i write or make something. just indulging my imagination you know? enjoy xx
masterlist
𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐔𝐁𝐄 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓: 𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐘 𝐑𝐈𝐂 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐏
【VIDEO ONE — daniel ricciardo is a gatekeeper】
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[1st image: yeah, i dunno. everyone just found out that i made it official with my girlfriend and i’m pretty sure i just saw lando weeping in his room. max was the second to react to it and i’m so sure he recoiled. he did say that he didn't want to know what happened in imola few months ago.]
[2nd: interviewer: what happened in imola few months ago? daniel: *chuckles* wouldn’t you like to know - nah, i’m messing about. nothing happened in imola besides from me retiring to my bed early. i think we were both drunk when i posted that photo and i know it looks lewd but there's no way we could've done anything questionable.]
[3rd: d: but yeah. we didn't really want to catch that much attention until maybe i don't know... when we're married or something *chuckles* i: keep it a secret until the wedding? d: yeah. but charles, the absolute fool, posted videos during the concert with me in the background. It would've been real nice if no one caught onto it until we had a mini ric running and racing, you know? just to wreak havoc.]
【VIDEO TWO — daniel ricciardo talks about lester’s love language in his gq video】
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[1st: i got this journal from lori. it has my initials "DR" on it for daniel ricciardo*laughs* it's one of those many first gifts that i’ve gotten from her throughout our first few months of dating. her love language isn't just shitting on my life -she has every single aspect of love language within her and this is one of them.]
[2nd: when she gave this to me, all she said was "you can write out your thoughts if you can't let them out through your mouth. *giggles* "she clearly had her thoughts sorted out that time especially when she showed me a page with an embossed phrase or nickname, "tasso di miele" - it means honey badger. she apparently bought the custom embosser from etsy and almost fought tooth and nail just to get it in time. *laughs even more* i love her so much, i honestly wanted to cry that day.]
[3rd: lori actually has a laptop with *laughs* itunes on it and she still got some playlists from 2010-2014? yeah. she’s put a lot of old taylor swift songs in my ipod during the christmas break. my favourite album right now is speak now. she loves red.]
【VIDEO THREE — lester hates ashy hands confirmed】
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[1st: daniel: i think i should just cover my hands with gloves all the time. lando: that literally has nothing to do with anything that we're about to do. d: lori tells me that my hands are rough whenever she holds them.]
[2nd: l: or you know... you can just use a hand lotion all the time because your hands dry up real fast? d: ah that's true. i wonder if that's why lori just casually put a bottle of hand cream on my travel bag. the thing smells nice though. it’s chamomile.]
【VIDEO FOUR — it’s okay to spoil your partner; even if it’s an accent chair from her pinterest board】
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[1st: d: lori just sent me a picture of an armchair from ikea. l: why was she randomly in ikea, by the way? I saw the text. d: window shopping. but anyway, she saw this armchair that she had on her pinterest board. she asked "pretty or no?" with the green velvet chair. l: what did you tell her?]
[2nd: word to word? I texted her "LOL you should see the accent chair I've gotten you for our flat in monaco." l: are you serious? *laughs* d: she wouldn't tell me what she wanted for her birthday. I only got a brief idea when she left her phone in my pocket once and gave me a free access to her pinterest boards.]

more anya food… anya plus wolfdog borzoi creature. werewolf anya? who knows.
update!! changed my username to PINEWOLP!!
kim pine + wolp (wolf but misspelled) haha clever i know
just wanted something simpler and also i like it better!! more unique :3
scott pilgrim food coming once my mouthwashing hyperfixation passes…
this artwork took me roundabout 4 hours + breaks. its my SECOND time using kolormarc by true grit texture supply. recently bought them for a christmas gift for my girlfriend, and wanted an excuse to use them for myself.
if anyone wants them theyre here!!
I DONT GATEKEEP!! ive bought like 4 brushpacks from them over the years and theyre great quality. highly recommend. and yall theyre kinda expensive so just wait for them to go on sale its worth it i promise
anyways i made this artwork in procreate and adobe fresco. 99.9% procreate, but the highlights in the eyes and the lines for contrast around anya were drawn in adobe fresco with the oil paint brushes.
this artwork was a huge headache. when i was almost done, i realized at some point i merged the colors and lineart after i had already colored anya and i literally was pulling my hair out i was TERRIFIED. i was able to salvage it. this file was huge it was like 130 megabytes. my ipad storage is SUFFERING.
i finished this a couple hours ago and then passed out. meow meow meow meow enough yap… enjoy!!

Yo! Do you have any notes/tips for your coloring process? I've always had trouble with that part of drawings looking good lmao and I really like yours! If not for your specific style, do you have any tips with that in general?
Iv gotten a few asks about how I color but iv always avoided answering because
A) I am absolutely awful at explaining things, and
B) I am a very Very lazy artist you should probably Not do the things that I do
BUT i feel bad gatekeeping(?) my horrible technique if it helps anybody ig ill try and explain so
✨✨✨Welcome to Reegis’ Probably Not Reputable (But Very Long Winded) Art Advice✨✨✨✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media
line art of a random character for the example, just pic whatever colors you have in mind for your base colors, you can try using palette generators or basing it off of existing palettes/characters/whatever I have absolutely no idea how color theory works (& this is why you shouldnt listen to me) so im solely going off of vibes. but it is Rough so onto step 2 & 3
(edit to add i usually start off with the skin hair & clothes on separate clipping layers and merge them together towards the end.. i think i forgot to say that at all here oops)

I abuse the hellll out of layer blending modes. overlay, saturation & multiply mainly, but also difference, brightness & screen. (just doodle something & try all of em out to get a feel for them honestly ik theres a Lot and they can be intimidating) for this i just wanted a more cohesive warmer tone to start with so i added a peachy overlay & a slight ombré to the hair to add a bit more interest to the character.
then just the most basic of rendering, some blush & highlights just wherever i think theyd go.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another thing they tell you Not to do, my next step is to block out all my shading in a vaguely purpleish multiply layer!!! i cant be assed to do it any other way im sorry…. once i have the basic shading down, i lock the layer & go in with air brush eraser & also airbrush in other colors wherever I think the purple is maybe too harsh/clashing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
still wasnt 100% happy with the colors so messed around with some more layer filter/modes/whatever you call them then colored in my line art! i think this is honestly the saving grace for all of my art shshsdhhf color your lines people. doesnt have to be all (i dont, i like the contrast) but it usually helps to make some at least a little less harsh
Tumblr media
then with a little more color tweaking im done! one random sleepy dude, fully colored (by my standards)
and then if a piece needs more dramatic lighting you justttt
Tumblr media
im so serious play around with layer settings! these are just basic multiply & add(glow), there as so many others you can abuse the shit out of & nobody will know or care in your finished piece.
was this?? in any way helpful???? I hope so.

I mentioned in a post about Real Life my criteria for an "iconic" teamup in the life series. My one and only rule for this category is the teamup needs to be directly referenced and acknowledged or repeated either in a later season, or in an outside series/setting.
(I want to make it clear this is my own personal criteria - you can categorise them however you want, this is just how I think about it in my head)
My current (probably incomplete) list is, in no particular order:
Desert Duo - this one is obvious, they can't stay away from each other, were paired again in Double Life, and came dangerously close to teaming again in Secret Life.
Treebark - they're so obsessed with each other. Martyn helped Ren the entirety of Last Life, then sought him out again in Double Life.
Team TIES - thank you, MCC, for letting me add this to my list.
Team BEST - I have these as two individual iconic teamups, BE (because Ethubs, both by themselves and as Clockers subcategory) and ST (because Skizz and Tango have their every season thing going on).
Clockers - they honestly had quite a lot of the vibes from this before Limited Life, LimL just strengthened it. Then, in Secret Life, they picked up where they left off, and also referenced it at least once that I can think of in Hermitcraft. (Also, that one clip in I think Cleo's video where they played TCG and Bdubs stopped gloating after Cleo threatened to use her mom voice)
Flower Husbands - unfortunately, this pair does fit into my category, even if I don't like it, because they went for it again in Empires.
Ranchers - I don't even need to explain this one, but I will, because I never have and never will pass up an opportunity to talk about Ranchers. They cannot stay away from each other. Every time they're in each other's vicinity, they gravitate to each other, they flirt, they subconsciously mimic each other's body language, they call each other "My fellow Rancher".
Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss - this is the teamup I mentioned in the post, saying they became iconic when they teamed up in Real Life.
Bad Boys - these three were iconic long before they teamed up in Limited Life, by virtue of being them. They are brothers in every universe, and they make it everyone else's and each other's problem.
Boat Boys - they're so obsessed fr.
Mean Gills - these idiots have fallen in love ten million times by now.
I'm debating whether I should add the Gossip Girls (Impulse and Bdubs) to this, purely for the fact that Impulse used a clock to symbolise a wedding ring in Grian's Guess the Build video.
The point is they're all so totally Not Normal about each other that sometimes you need to find a threshold for Not Normal, below which it falls back into Normal category just so we have done semblance of normalcy going on here.

the actual worst part of shinji's death is that it means we no longer get to hear his same "let's get this done" voice clip everytime we face a gatekeeper or a shadow in a monad door-

kleo, 9teen, he/it
FAQ 🎀
Stamps;
"Can I request a different border shape/color?"
I like to keep it the same shape, because I want them all to match. but if you request a color I'll make both a white and colored version.
"Can I request a character that has already been done?"
Yep!!! just make sure you phrase it like "can you do MORE miku" instead of "can you do miku?" that way I know not to link you to previous miku ones ^.^
"when will my request be done?"
I've been getting back into the swing of things, but expect up to a week for requests to be fulfilled!! posts are usually put into a queue, so it may have to filter through a few days worth of posts first.
"How do you make stamps?"
I dont gatekeep, I found a ftu base for it online and I just insert the image on a clipping layer. it's that easy, making 6 of em takes me like 10 minutes at most (& most of that time is looking for the right images). make sure you scale the image down instead of just adding the border to an image, otherwise it'll look weird and be way too big.

Blinkies;
TBA! Let me get better at making em first haha

speedrunners who do da strategy experience know the difference!
kokichi is pretty strategical but since he's competitive as hell he's probably gatekeeping all his strategy building tips bc uh he still wanna win whatever forever
he has no reason to share any tips unless he's feeling pity that ppl who are shit at strategy are trying to put the worst ideas of all time to practice and he gets 2nd hand embarrassment or smth.
korekiyo has insight. just like existing strategies by whatever human innovation he's aware of again he's OP as shit in the speedrunning au since he doesnt gatekeep his hints like kokichi. also if ppl make strategies he can give pretty solid feedback
kirumi is efficient at her duties. efficiency exists because of strategy thats a given. while she's more easier at working up strategies on the fly with what she's given rather than particularly communicating like ideas of strategy she can probably give advice at telling ppl how to be more efficient. work smarter not harder! truth NUKEEEEE
everyone else is like. they have brains they can come up with strats but they need like so much feedback and communication to get something that actually makes sense
while the these 3 just have the free strategy related talents from like day1. but accessibility to kokichi's provisions on strategies seems more of a late game thing
like maybe when ppl find a way to no-clip into kokichi's lab he might be more willing to share his feedback since ig he cant rlly stop ppl from just going into his lab for speedrunning shenanigans
so ig if speedrunners are going to use equipment from his lab the least he can do is tell ppl how things are *properly done* around here since it IS kokichi's provisions and he would know what all the stuff there is used for

Hi, I’ve got a question if you don’t mind answering
I’m just…. Really confused. Because our system has changed and grown so much that we realized that we were a polyfrag system since our experiences perfectly match it, but recently uh. Our gatekeeper found a whole like … sidesystem?? It’s the only term that makes sense because it’s completely separate from the “main” system even with layers and stuff it’s a whole other headspave I guess, and it turns out they have some pyramid heirarchy with themes for each tier and a lot more detail we don’t know about.
My partner got extremely concerned and told me to ask about this because … wtf there can’t be any possible way we’ve gone through ramcoa, it just doesn’t make sense ???? Like yeah I’m shaking as I type this but it doesn’t make sense we barely ‘unlocked’ past sa trauma and even then we doubt that (despite alter patterns)
I’ve got no idea what this is or who to ask since I’m not in any form of therapy and can’t get any professional help, thank you for your time in advance
-🔪
Sidesystems
Sidesystems, as in separate group of alters or multiple systems in one body, can happen to anymany. If it’s more comfortable to explore without the fear of programming, that might be better for your system right now.
Programmed or Not
Anything that happens in programmed systems can happen in nonprogrammed systems. The only difference is external control, which leads to a higher concentration of less common features. The term sidesystem in programming means the same thing, but with external control.
Some symptoms are indicative of particular traumas; flashbacks of being drugged might come with body memories of that experience, clips of cloaks or butchered animals tend to belong to RA.
But even those can be explained away, psychosomatic presentations of passive influence or detailed descriptions and photos of events.
The structuring is unusual, but not impossible. The themes are the same. Memories will be your best indicator, but those will take time and trust to get to.
For some lists of programming (mind control) and other abuse symptoms, explore https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1FqT248H1e6w9P2zWheTnaMXsrvT-ZqzJ/19U3sNkCGBLTuks1ITbm8QhcPlfif5k84?usp=drive_link&sort=13&direction=a from the Legion System.
Support for Healing
You don’t necessarily need a therapist during the initial stages, but we would recommend a support friend or significant other who will learn alongside you and sit with you as you go.
It’s good to have a page of hotlines you can call, and on that list add safe people for unaware system members. Carrying a phone or keeping a calendar is also helpful. Some of the newly discovered ones may be less informed or have trauma surrounding particular dates.
Supporting Your System
If you are trusted with trauma details, you should do your best to sit with the keeper like your support people would for you. Educate yourself and provide care for them, keeping in mind you may be the first in a long time (or ever) to receive this knowledge.
Some common programming environments are high-control groups, and that can mean anything from a small cult meeting in a basement to a multinational trafficking ring. You don’t have to piece together any of that now, but you cannot perpetuate the cycle of shame on your systemmates.
No matter where you come from, abuse is awful. You might come up with recollections of forced perpetration or loss, and it is crucial that you remember it was not your fault. No one is responsible for the abuse done onto them.
You should take time to sort out your own feelings and work through the consequences of knowing. You should not be blaming anyone inside. You have the opportunity to give what these selves always needed and never got. Often, you’re giving love.
Healing Both
The basics of deprogramming are the same as healing from most maltreatment; getting through everything together. You all played a role in your survival, and now you have the chance to live.
So regardless of what this ends up being, try for compassion first. You might have more steps to take, but compassion comes first and last. You can do it. Living well takes practice, but I promise you can do it.

Be kind to young writers
When I was young, I started my writing career through fan fiction and it was brutal. I didn't just get hate, my stories was put on a forum called the "The Literate Union". It was a group of gatekeepers who tried to keep Fanfiction.Net a "pure" website, or whatever. To make sure everyone followed the guidelines and my stuff was reported on mass.
Un announced to them, FanFiction.Net doesn't actually do anything when you report stories so nothing happened but some of the reviews were so nasty, I legit cried. I'm actually surprised I'm still a writer. This was one of the reviews I received and keep in mind, I had to censor most of these words because this "review" would violate every possible harassment guideline on any social media website.
I'm only sharing this as a reminder, I was a child who had no idea what I was doing. Be kind to young writers, they need support not harassment. Oh, and if you want to know what fandom I was in to received this level of hate? it was the Warriors Cats fandom.
"I'm not going to sugar coat this; your 'story' is so very, very bad that I would prefer being force fed a glass full of [redacted] that has been thrown in a blender with coffee creamer and toenail clippings and made to look like a smoothie before being heavily diluted by [redacted] and [redacted] and covered in [redacted]. It is reminiscent of a kindergartner's first attempt at a story, minus the endearing spelling errors and five-year-old innocence. In fact, a [redacted] from the [redacted] could have done a better job of this.
Now that I've given you fair warning, you are free to stop reading at any time, as I'm sure your tiny little brain may have trouble understanding some of it.
This 'story' is a perfect example of how a twelve year old with a keyboard and half a brain cell can thoroughly [redacted] the English language, then laugh as it lays sobbing in its own [redacted] and [redacted]. I was fighting tears and vomit with every line, because quite frankly, this is the worst horror you could ever inflict on a person. A respectable author would have first written everything out, proofread it, realized it was shit, deleted it, tried again, and then sent it off to a Beta who would then tell the writer that it was shit, and repeat these steps until you have a story that is both readable and good. At one point I actually pulled out a screwdriver and began to take apart my computer in an attempt to destroy this plague against all works of fiction, when I realized that destroying my computer would not handle the problem efficiently. My cat's [redacted] has more creativity and format than this 'story' does, and it saddens me that no one has informed you of how extraordinarily awful this abomination is. I do hope that you'll find yourself a respectable Beta and some self-respect before you continue to ruin the eyes of whatever unfortunate soul happens upon this 'story' next.
Hugs and Kisses,
Ker0s3ne K1d"

Some fans want Tom to have a career like Paul Mescal or Timothee, and that's a bit unfair. Tom wanted to be in the MCU. He auditioned for months for Spiderman, and honestly, I dont think any actor could've done what he's done with the character. He is Peter Parker to me.
Paul and Timothee are similar because they lean towards independent cinema. Well, Timothee is more mainstream now due to Wonka and Dune, and maybe after Gladiator 2, Paul may become mainstream, too. Funfact about Paul, he got that role after paramount studio heads came to see him play Stanley Kuwalski on stage. That's crazy cause he was oscar nominated, and yet studio heads were still sceptical of his talent.
I understand the fear cause both Tobey and Andrew were in SM, and their careers never became bigger than that, commercially not critically but not to come across rude, Tom is better than them. Back then, gatekeeping was so big in Hollywood that once you're in a flop, that's it. Whereas now, the power is more on the consumer/audience I feel. I've seen too many Tom fancasts in my lifetime. The demand is real, lol. Personally, I can't wait for this Saturday. I hope any tomdayas who are going to his opening night come back to report to us fans who couldn't make it and tell us all the gossip. If only those tickets didn't sell out!!!😭😭
Thanks for your input Anon, and I hope that some fans who go see the R&J play can bring us back some nuggets!! 😁👏🏾
I just KNOW some fan somewhere is gonna be secretly snapping pictures and maybe even video clips during that play lol 👀 🤭

different anon I’m sorry but in terms of compelling evidence, the bears aren’t that much better than astrology since so much of them are up to interpretation. Sure they make very explicit gay references, but the stuff fans associated with babygate especially could just as easily been flat references to a baby existing, rather than some covert exposé on how fake it was. There’s too much wiggle room. Me personally I don’t think there’s enough evidence to 100% say it was HL controlling them the whole time. That isn’t to say there’s zero evidence, I simply have reasonable doubt. Maybe there’s more I haven’t seen, but so much of the fandom treats everything about the bears as settled facts everyone already knows about, it’s gotten to the point where newer fans like me trying to ask questions about things we weren’t there for get treated like antis for not just accepting everything second hand, no matter how little sense it makes. I want to be logical and live in reality like you said, and I’m not saying the bears should be debunked or thrown out or whatever, I’m just saying there’s too many holes for me to consider them some of the best evidence we have.
And if you’re just going to tell me I’ll never understand/be a real fan because i wasn’t there from the beginning, please just don’t. I get enough gatekeeping from older larries from the rest of the fandom, i don’t want to get it from a blog i actually like.
Don't worry! I totally get what you're saying. I think for every piece of Larry evidence, there is usually wiggle room like you say. It's when you consider it all accumulatively rather than individually that you realize it's far more likely that Larry is real than not. Like, you could see that clip of Harry saying he'd like to "marry someone from another planet" while looking at Louis right after Louis said he'd like to have a "hit single on another planet", and you could brush something like that off as a joke and say it isn't enough evidence to conclusively say that there's an entire secret relationship going on there; that's actually what I did a lot as I combed through masterposts when I was first introduced to Larry. It's good to try to debunk things. That's kind of how science works anyway. You're supposed to try to prove your hypothesis wrong, and if you are unable to prove it wrong, then that means your hypothesis is probably right.
I think at the time of the bears, I had been in the fandom since around October 2014. I had read the masterposts and I'd seen everything that went down in 2014 and early 2015 in real time. I had already been fully convinced at that point.
Then when the bears started happening, they just kept making obvious Larry references, references to RBB being Harry and SBB being Louis, and then for me the real kicker was the "Love, Larry" photo frame with the bears having a wedding. But the main point definitely needs to be "were Harry and Louis behind them?", and, like I said before, there's never going to be huge evidence for them being behind it. It's not like we're going to catch a video of them dressing the bears up since naturally they would do that in private, and it's not like they'll admit to it either. That goes for pretty much everything in regards to Larry, otherwise we would have caught them kissing on camera in 4K by now (and I've said before that it isn't hard to hide a relationship, though Louis and Harry have done a not-so-great job of hiding it aside from not kissing publicly lol). You have to consider everything accumulatively and try to think of what outcome is the most likely.
So let me compile a few links if you want to read through/watch them. These are pretty much the main reasons why I'm convinced it was Harry and Louis behind the bears:
Source 1
Source 2
Source 3
Source 4
Source 5 (Watch their individual reactions and listen to the way in which Harry responds.)
Source 6 (SKIP TO 6:30 AND WATCH UNTIL ABOUT 7:07) [Listen to the way in which Louis responds and note the duping delight on his face (which is when a liar smiles in a way as if they're about to laugh) when he says "no" near the end. It's easy to conclude that he's lying rather than telling the truth, because of his overall body language, anxiousness to defend himself (this can happen to even innocent people when accused of something falsely, but that's usually only when the thing they are being accused of is something serious, such as cheating on their partner or something that could put their job on the line; if being behind the rainbow bears could put Louis's job on the line, it's safe to conclude that it would have put WHOEVER was behind it's job on the line, which adds less fuel to the notion that it was the sound engineer behind them, who was just there to do a job and was getting paid well to do it), and his word choice.]
If we looked through an entire list of every Larry proof in order to find the best evidence, in my personal opinion, RBB&SBB would at least make ~the top three. But that's of course only my opinion.

Can I ask why your youtube channel is bilingual and why you switch languages between videos?
In the beginning I mostly uploaded kids show clips in swedish, because no one else uploaded them in swedish so I was like "I guess I have to if no one else does???"
But on the occasion, I realized I wanted to talk about something that I felt I didn't really have to gatekeep in only swedish. Or, it was something that not necessarily any swede knew about but people internationally might know about.
And so now, I kind of decide on which language I'm doing depending on the video. If I talk about kids shows, usually I'm doing it in swedish. Especially because I grew up with most kids shows swedish dubbed, or from here in the first place, so I'm the most familiar with them that way. If I want to talk about something that I have international friends liking, but not so much swedish friends, then I'm doing it in english.
Then there's videos like my My Little Pony Runaway Rainbow review. That was in swedish - it doesn't HAVE to be in swedish, but I chose to this time. I do believe it had to do with growing up with the movie swedish dubbed, but I COULD have made it in english if I wanted to. And because it was one of those cases where I could have done whatever, I decided that because I did it in swedish, I wrote english subtitles. But I'm not doing that for every swedish video I'm making.

Email Marketing Strategies That Work for Real Estate Agents
The digital age has revolutionized the way businesses connect with potential clients, and real estate is no exception. Email marketing, when done correctly, is a powerful tool for real estate agents to nurture leads, showcase properties, and build lasting client relationships. Below, we delve into actionable strategies that guarantee success in email marketing for real estate professionals.
Understand Your Target Audience
Real estate isn’t a one-size-fits-all business. Start by segmenting your audience based on factors like location, budget, property preferences, and purchase timeline. Personalization ensures your messages resonate with recipients and increase engagement.
Craft a Winning Welcome Email
The welcome email sets the tone for your relationship with a subscriber. Use it to introduce your brand, share your mission, and set expectations. Include a friendly call-to-action (CTA) inviting them to explore your listings or schedule a consultation.
Leverage Drip Campaigns for Lead Nurturing
Drip campaigns allow you to send pre-scheduled emails over time, nurturing leads as they progress through the buying or selling journey. Tailor these campaigns to address specific stages, such as initial inquiries, property viewings, or closing preparations.
Highlight Property Listings Strategically
Feature properties in your emails with compelling visuals and concise descriptions. Focus on unique selling points like location advantages, architectural features, or competitive pricing. Make it easy for readers to click through to the full listing.
Offer Valuable Content Beyond Listings
Provide tips on home buying, selling, market trends, or interior design ideas. Value-added content establishes you as a knowledgeable resource and builds trust with your audience.
Use Compelling Subject Lines
Subject lines are the gatekeepers of your emails. Craft enticing, curiosity-piquing subject lines that promise value without sounding spammy. For example, “5 Hidden Gems in [City Name] Real Estate” or “The Top Mistakes First-Time Buyers Make.”
Personalize Your Emails
Beyond using names, personalize content by referencing previous interactions, viewed properties, or specific preferences. This makes your communication more relevant and engaging.
Incorporate Video Content
Videos significantly enhance email engagement. Include short clips showcasing property tours, client testimonials, or even a personal message. Videos bring a dynamic touch that captures attention.
Optimize Emails for Mobile Devices
Many users check emails on their phones, so ensure your emails are mobile-friendly. Use responsive design, concise text, and appropriately sized images.
Create Clear Calls-to-Action
Every email should have a clear and compelling CTA. Whether it’s scheduling a viewing, exploring listings, or downloading a market report, guide recipients on the next step to take.
Harness the Power of Storytelling
Share success stories of previous clients or highlight a property’s history to create an emotional connection. Storytelling makes your emails memorable and engaging.
Implement A/B Testing
Test different elements like subject lines, visuals, and CTAs to determine what resonates best with your audience. Continuous improvement ensures your campaigns’ success.
Keep a Consistent Schedule
Consistency breeds familiarity. Send emails at regular intervals, but avoid overwhelming your subscribers. A weekly or bi-weekly schedule often works well for real estate agents.
Monitor Metrics Religiously
Track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as open rates, click-through rates, and conversions. Use this data to refine your strategy and focus on what’s working.
Re-Engage Inactive Subscribers
Not everyone opens every email. Create re-engagement campaigns targeting inactive subscribers, offering them exclusive content or promotions to rekindle interest.
Include Social Proof
Highlight testimonials, reviews, and case studies in your emails. Social proof reinforces your credibility and builds trust with prospective clients.
Use Automation Tools
Leverage tools like Mailchimp or Constant Contact to automate your campaigns, segment lists, and analyze results. Automation saves time while improving efficiency.
Ensure Compliance with Regulations
Stay compliant with email marketing laws like GDPR and CAN-SPAM. Always include an unsubscribe option and avoid deceptive subject lines.
Build and Maintain Your Email List
Grow your list organically through sign-up forms on your website, open house events, or social media campaigns. Avoid purchasing lists, as they can damage your sender reputation.
Integrate Email with Your Digital Marketing Plan
Email marketing shouldn’t operate in isolation. Combine it with your overall digital strategy, including social media and content marketing, for maximum impact. Learn more about creating a digital marketing plan for real estate agents here.
Use Analytics to Refine Your Approach
Data-driven decisions are the backbone of successful marketing. Use analytics tools to dive deep into audience behaviors and preferences, enabling more effective campaigns.
Email marketing is a game-changer for real estate agents when executed correctly. With the strategies outlined above, you’re well-equipped to attract, engage, and convert leads while fostering long-term relationships. Start implementing these tips today and watch your real estate business thrive!
