He sighed deeply, reclining back on the couch as the last of his meal slid down his throat. His stomach grumbled and burbled happily as its prey collected inside, spilling out onto his lap as they settled in. Closing his eyes, he rested his hands on his stomach and gently kneaded into it to massage it. His lover wanted a cozy day in with him- who was he to refuse?

Gently, his lover shifted and started rubbing at his stomach walls in response. They burbled almost happily in response, giving them a massage to match the one given externally. They would need to get up eventually, but neither of them had anything to do today until later...they could afford some time together. And their time together was always spent as close as they could possibly be, one safely tucked inside the other.

cozy nights in with ace include having him laying on the bed shirtless, basking in the warmth and affection you ever so carefully pour over him.

mapping out the many constellations of freckles that take up his back, your finger trailing from point to point as your universe opens up before you, sending shivers up his spine. silent whispers of i love you gently carved into his skin by the motion of your tender movements.

a different level of intimacy that has him melting further into the mattress. being treated with so much love has his heart stuttering in his chest. a level of care he’s never quite gotten used to but gratefully welcomes nonetheless.

a small smile takes up his face as he’s practically purring under you, letting out soft little hums of approval with each new stroke of your finger that spells out a new declaration of love.

his heart swells with pure adoration for you and he’s itching to return the favor, to hold you impossibly close and whisper every lovely thought he’s ever had about you — which may take awhile. but hey, he’s got all the time in the world and he wants to spend every second of it with you.

You have no idea what you guys mean to me, all the kind words and encouragement over the years? It's what keeps me going. When people add cool tags to my posts my day is made brighter. You do mean something to someone, dear lurkers, me in fact.

I promise all engagement matters, even if it only matters to me. I'm never gonna shit on ya for not reblogging, but if you DO reblog I'm gonna feel a lil sense of joy. <3

thank you all for everything.

“Life isn’t like the movies” except then I remember stumbling down the cobblestone sidewalks of Lisbon at night with you and our friends, drunk on cheap but good wine. You walking backwards and looking at me, all tall with your black hair and springtime green eyes and a fond smile, and me telling you that if you asked me to marry you right now I’d say yes, I would, I dare you. And you laughing and saying okay, noted, just wait. So yeah, sometimes life is a little like the movies. Little parts of it.

Just watched the last season of rvb while sitting in my empty apartment waiting to move to another city. Those silly colorful guys were my friends for ten years, through high school and two degrees and so many life changes… its hard to say goodbye. But I’m grateful that we got to! Goodbye rvb and goodbye Roosterteeth. You’ll live in my memory 🫡

Always makes me really sad when I'm going through my ao3 bookmarks and see someone has deleted a fic.

Perhaps the author decided to remove it so they can incorporate the writing into original works/seek publishing. But most of the time I think it's either someone not feeling confident in their writing or moving on from a fandom/feeling embarrassed about their past interests.

I get it, I do, I've also chickened out and deleted writing in the past, but it's still sad regardless.

Nobody else will ever, ever be able to write what you just did. There may be more experienced writers out their with a more refined style or fancier prose, but even if they wrote the exact same idea you did, it'll still never be the same as yours because each of us differs in what moments we add emphasis to and which aspects of a character we love most.

Sometimes engagement sucks and it's true that there will always be someone out there we look up to and feel is better at this crap than ourselves.

It doesn't mean what we ourselves create failed to matter in comparison. It'll always matter to someone. The art of creating is never a waste, even if we just file that document away and never work up the courage to share it. And I think that's the same for any type of art.

Just wanna say a little thank you for all the love on that Umbra sketch! 🥺 💕

I love tea. I think it's the best example of how beautiful and varied the cultures of the world are. They all take their tea differently. Morrocan's drink it with a hefty dose of sugar and mint. Tibetan's are known to throw a bit of salt and butter into the brew. The English have their tea and cookies. Russians gather round the Samovar on cold winter days. Buddhist monks fortify themselves with a cup of green tea prior to lengthy sessions of meditation. Muslims do the same prior to late night ceremonies. USAmerican's serve big ol' pitchers of extra sweet iced tea at parties. Street vendors in India nurse a bubbling pot of Masala Chai to serve to passersby. Some African cultures have become avid cultivators and drinkers of tea, some of them brewing it primarily with milk rather than water. Japanese and Korean milk tea vendors guard the ingredients in their tea blends quite jealously. It's one big beautiful rainbow.

If you've ever gone out of your way to msg me, replied something nice on my post or left a nice comment in the tags I want you to know I love and appreciate you

Its wild the way ghosts of people you haven’t spoken to in years will linger.

The voicemail recording for my work office is the voice of a guy who hasn't worked here in years. Every time I hear it I remember talking about fallout all shift and how he came over to help me set up my computer monitors after work.

I have contacts in my phone that were people I met at a 1 week summer program for a college I didn't end up attending. Their names are inside jokes so I don't actually remember anything about them beyond playing pool incorrectly and that one of them complimented my skin. It was the first time I'd received an unprompted compliment on my appearance that I believed was genuine.

I know I'm not the first person to say it, but you will never know how many little traces of yourself linger, making people you'd never think remember you smile regularly.

Thank you to everyone who got me to 25000 likes!

This popped up yesterday afternoon and it makes me so happy to see. It's not the number that's exciting, but how it's a reminder of what a fun community this is.

I'm glad people like what I post, but more than that, I appreciate having a space like this to indulge in shared interests and goofy things with friends, moots, followers, anons, lurkers, clownfu- everyone! So thanks and ily all! 🩷🩷🩷

Every now and then it hits me all over again that there are actual existing people who genuinely think my writing is good on here and want to read more... I know I've been active in these parts for a couple of years now, but prior to my ds9 fics I'd really never shared my writing (of any kind) with people before. It still feels new and surreal to me, like the very idea that people are actually reading (much less enjoying or appreciating) something I wrote
