RIDING SEUNCHEOL'S FACE LIKE FULL-BLOWN SITTING AND GRINDING ON IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH

YUUUUUUUP PREACH IT GURLLL YOU COULDNT TELL ME CHEOL ISNT A CERTIFIED MUNCH OHMYLORD THE NASTINESS THAT IM ABOUT TO WRITE OOOF-

Sit On It

Pairing: bf! scoups x f!reader

Genre: the nastiest smut i will probably ever write (MDNI), face sitting, praise, power play (slight), cunnulingus

Description: you make cheol’s terrible day so so much better by finally fulfilling his biggest fantasy-you sitting on his face.

Note: hyperventilating just by thinking about sitting on his beautiful face, eyebrows furrowed, big arms wrapped around my thighs- UNHOLY THOUGHTS BEGONE XJAJAKANNSOQJAIA (also, not proofread, as per usual💔)

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

here’s the thing-a lot of things that you and cheol did in the bedroom was relatively new to you, considering that your previous lovers (if you can even call them that by the lack of effort they put) were selfish and conceded. so when you two started dating, and eventually sleeping together, it was surprising to experience being with someone who was so…giving, almost catering to all of your needs.

that man, if he could, he would spend every waking moment of his between your legs, either lapping and licking and sucking on your sweet pussy, or pounding into it with the force that makes the whole bed move, never mind your body.

still, there was one thing you two still have yet to try. something he has expressed he would love to do-or, well, for you to do to him.

or rather to his face.

naturally, he respected your wishes and you saying ‘no’ to his proposal. but you could see how pouty he turns every time he tries to ask if maybe you have changed your mind yet, only for you to vigorously shake your head.

it’s not that you don’t want to, it’s just…

it’s one thing to have him lay between your legs, lapping on your juices and make you soak both his face and his sheets.

it’s an entirely different thing to have that control over him-over the situation- and just grind on his face, to make yourself cum all over it, when usually he’s the one to usually make you cream all over his face.

and you thought your answer wouldn’t change. not for a while at least.

…well. about that.

you just felt so bad. he came back from work visibly under stress, his thick eyebrows set in a frown so deep they were almost touching.

he barely said anything to you, a clear sign that one wrong word could set him off, hence why he’s avoiding any conversation that could leas up to that.

he immediately locked himself up in the shower for a while, before he came back and went directly to your room, laying flatly on his back. his naked chest rose up and down in shallow and stressed sighs, face hidden in the elbow of his arm that he threw over his gorgeous face.

he just looked so…tense, you felt like you had to do something.

and so, before you knew it, you let your shorts and panties hit the floor, your (actually, cheol’s) shirt following next.

he was just laying there, deep in thought, that he didn’t ever hear you walk across the room, didn’t even pay too much attention to the mattress dipping under your weight as you crawled towards him.

it was only when you forcefully removed his arm from his face that he was ready to say something, mean things to snap at you just on the tip of his tongue immediately dying the moment he registered your nakedness.

at first, he was ready to decline your offer, ready to say that he wouldn’t be too gentle on you right now if you two decided to have sex, that he would use you rather than love you. and that is something he wouldn’t allow to happen, not with you.

but then.

instead of straddling his hips, you went ahead and put your other leg.

on the other side of his shoulder.

cheol just stares up at you, at your gorgeous body, an angle making him both salivate and his lips completely dry, your sweet pussy that he loved more than almost anything in this world hovering over his chin, so close yet so far away.

cheol followed the trail that is your body-your wetness right in front of his eyes, followed by your soft tummy, the curves of your waist connecting right into your chest where your soft and bouncy tits stood proudly, and lastly your visibly shy and nervous face.

he could feel himself panting already, ready to actually suffocate under your weight if you would so kindly let him. but despite his urges and needs, he waited. waited for you to make the first move.

waited for you to take control.

gulping one last time, in low and raspy voice you asked him one final question.

“still want me to sit on it, baby?”

and so here you were, head thrown back as the moans flew freely out of your mouth. almost like an instinct, like an animal, you were unconsciously grinding all over his face, your juices smeared all over his mouth, cheeks, and even nose. and yet, cheol just continued to lap on your pussy like a good boy that he was.

he was so so loud as well, you can’t honestly remember if you have ever heard him be so vocal, maybe even more vocal than you. his groans were bordering on animalistic ones, vibrations coming from his mouth traveling through your pussy, through your quivering tummy and shaky chest, all the way to your ears.

his big and strong arms were strongly wrapped around your thighs, locking them in place, so even if you wanted to move, cheol wouldn’t allow you to.

your hands were so indecisive, going from strongly holding onto the headboard, to leaning back on one, hand pressed into his chest that was tight from the lack of the air, while the other was holding onto his hair, pulling on it as you were grinding all over his beautiful face.

you peaked over your tits to look at his face, only to see his eyes closed in pleasure, eyebrows now furrowed in pure ecstasy instead of anger. you notice his eyes trying to open for a second, only for them to roll back into his head the moment you circle your hips again.

and the noises-god, it was so loud and nasty, it was all the more turn on.

you were just moving your hips, sometimes back and forth, properly grinding on his hungry lips, sometimes just making circular motions, smearing your precum all over his face.

which he seems to like so much, as every time you did it, you could feel his hips buckle upwards into the air and his moans travel through your pussy.

his tongue was splitting your lips apart before dipping inside your hole, collecting your sweetness on his tongue before swallowing it, the tip of his tongue then lapping at your clit for a second before doing it all over again. you swore, it almost looked like he was passionately making out, except it was with your pussy and not with you.

you were worried that you might be too heavy, that you were suffocating him, but that seems to be exactly what he wanted, as any time you tried to raise your hips a bit and let him breathe, he would just harshly pull you back down, a sound somewhere between disapproval and warning leaving him before he goes back to being a moaning mess.

it actually came so naturally to you- being in control. you weren’t even aware just how much control you had over him right at this moment. you were the one that set the pace, the one that used your hold on his hair to move his face in the direction that you wanted him to, the one who was a babbling mess, words like “such a good boy for me” and “fuck, just like that, baby, you do it so good” involuntarily leaving your mouth.

and cheol, just like a good boy you claimed he was, took whatever you gave him.

he was so lost in the pleasure, that he didn’t even notice just how close he was to cumming untouched until your hips started buckling out of control as well, moans getting breathier the closer you were getting to creaming all over his face.

before you knew it, you harshly pulled on his hair to push his face further into your pussy as you threw your head back, a loud scream escaping you as you reached your orgasm and came all over his face, your cum smearing all over his lips and chin as he tried to clean it all up, to swallow it, to lose himself in the pleasure for just a bit longer.

after you became sensitive, you recoiled away from his touch, finally being able to lift your hips away from his face and let him breathe again.

upon you lifting yourself up, cheol uses his newfound to take one deep breath, shakily filling his lungs with fresh air. he wasn’t even aware of just how oxygen deprived he was until he tried looking up at you only for everything to become very very blurry for him.

you two just stayed like that for a minute or so, both looking at each other as your chests were heaving.

and as you were looking at each other, a clear agreement was concluded between you two as you two were trying to come back to your sanities.

fuck, we are going back from this.

Make Me Write

Last week did not go to plan because, of course, and I feel even further behind so I'm back begging for motivation. As usual, pick one or more of the emojis below that is assigned to one of my WIPs and for each emoji I will write 3 sentences and send them out. There are a couple more WIPs on the list now (I don't know what's wrong with me) including some one shots this time, and, like I normally do, I will separate them into their different fandoms.

Warnings: Mental manipulation, loss of identity, trauma, violence, death

🌙 Name: Akihiro Hiroki 🔮 Age: 25 👤 Gender: Male 🌌 Fandom: Final Fantasy VII Universe 🌟 Ship: N/A 📅 Date of Birth: September 12, [μ] – εγλ 1979 👼 Mother: Yumi Hiroki 👹 Father: Hiroshi Hiroki 🎭 Faceclaim: Haruma Miura

Character Overview Akihiro Hiroki was born in Wutai, a land rich with spiritual traditions. Raised as a devout monk, Akihiro communicated with the spirit Leviathan through water magic, a gift passed down through his family. He fought fiercely to protect his homeland, but his life took a tragic turn during Shinra’s invasion of Wutai, where he was conscripted into their SOLDIER program. Transformed into SC-X, a Sephiroth clone, Akihiro lost his humanity and became a mindless tool of Sephiroth's will. His personal trauma and fractured identity led to his tragic end after Bianca's death, leaving him as a hollow puppet without a purpose or awareness.

Character Overview

🌟 Akihiro's Persona: Akihiro’s journey is marked by profound loss and manipulation. From a spiritually aligned monk to a puppet controlled by Sephiroth’s will, he loses not just his autonomy but his sense of self. His devotion to his homeland, Wutai, and to his family, particularly his younger siblings, shaped his initial personality as a protector. After becoming SC-X, his persona is eclipsed by Sephiroth’s influence, leaving him as little more than a shadow of his former self and forced to be care for Bianca’s needs, as well as serve as a bridge for Sephiroth to cross over from the Lifestream to spend time with Bianca.

🎭 Personality: Before his transformation, Akihiro was grounded, disciplined, and deeply connected to his roots. He was a devout monk who cherished the principles of balance, duty, and spiritual communion. However, his tragic fall into the SOLDIER program and subsequent transformation into a Sephiroth clone robbed him of these traits. His personality, now a mindless instrument of destruction, is heavily shaped by Sephiroth’s will and no longer reflects the warrior monk he once was.

💑 Relationship: Akihiro’s only remaining bond was with Bianca, the one person who connected him to his past. Despite his transformation, his loyalty to her remained, though it was more of a conditioned instinct than conscious affection. Her 'death' severed his last connection to his former identity, and with it, any semblance of purpose.

⚔️ Courage in Conflict: Akihiro’s courage was once defined by his unwavering commitment to Wutai and its people. As a Wutain, he fought fiercely for his homeland but was ultimately broken by the forces of Shinra and Sephiroth. In his final moments, however, there was no more courage to be found—only the silence of a soul lost to manipulation and eventually absorbed into the Lifestream.

✨ Likes & Dislikes

Likes: Water, the teachings of Leviathan, meditation, his homeland Wutai

Dislikes: Flames, being manipulated, losing his sense of self, his transformation into a puppet

🌿 A Soul of Many Hobbies: Before his downfall, Akihiro enjoyed peaceful moments of reflection, training in martial arts, and practicing his water magic. He was also interested in philosophy and spiritual growth, often seeking solace in nature. After his transformation into SC-X, these hobbies were erased, and he no longer found peace in anything but serving Sephiroth’s will.

Powerset Overview

💫 Powers and Abilities: Akihiro is a skilled martial artist and swordsman, able to fight with both physical prowess and elemental water magic. His water-based materia allows him to attack, manipulating the flow of water for both offense. His SOLDIER infusion enhanced his physical abilities, granting him superhuman strength and speed. Additionally, the Jenova cells within his body allow him to partially tap into Sephiroth’s power but only when Sephiroth is controlling him. However, his abilities are now constrained by Sephiroth’s control.

💔 Weaknesses: Akihiro’s greatest weakness is his lack of autonomy. His mind is constantly overridden by Sephiroth’s will, preventing him from acting independently. Emotionally, he is haunted by the trauma of witnessing the destruction of Wutai, particularly the devastation caused by fire, which triggers deep fear and panic. His identity is fractured, and his dependence on Sephiroth makes him unable to function without his master’s guidance.

Key Moments in Akihiro Hiroki's Journey

Shinra’s invasion of Wutai: This was the defining moment that shattered Akihiro’s life, leading to the loss of his family and homeland.

Conscription into SOLDIER: Akihiro’s life was taken from him, and he was subjected to the painful infusion process that transformed him into a Sephiroth clone.

Becoming SC-X: As a Sephiroth clone, Akihiro lost his identity and became nothing more than a puppet to Sephiroth’s whims. He did this to protect Bianca during her experimentation and vivisection, which he does when Sephiroth assumed control over him after Bianca had broken free of her confinement and went on a rampage to escape Professor Hojo, Professor Ravenscroft, and Shinra.

Bianca's ‘Death’: The loss of Bianca by the hand of Cloud Strife marked the moment his existence became truly meaningless, and his eventual end followed soon after.

Themes 🌟 Loss of Identity 🌟 Manipulation and Control 🌟 Trauma and Isolation 🌟 Servitude and Autonomy 🌟 The Tragic Hero's Fall

okay for ily miss universe: i’m assuming reader said that last part abt megan and her never ending up together to hurt her? but also what is supposed to be endgame? like manon and reader are cute together but it doesn’t feel meant to be — not because it’s manon’s fault but idk something abt it felt like it’s held back from a perfect relationship. and megan was wrong to blast their relationship but i kind of get how hurt she was. idk i just kind of want to know what happens to all of them. megan and manon probably do not get close again but are cordial for the sake of the group, reader and manon possibly break up amicably — but what about reader and megan? also any of my assumptions can be incorrect too i just want to know what ends up happening

you're spot on! i think i wrote reader in this one as a textbook avoidant attachment, doesn't mind things being distant and imperfect bc the reality of confronting things head-on can be uncomfortable no matter how much they may want things to change. so when megan started disrupting their dynamic, first on the lifestream and then afterwards with her confession in the car, i think reader was in straight up fight-or-flight bc it's out in the open now and they have to confront that reality head on. and out of frustration of now never being able to go back, i think reader lashed out bc it felt like megan disrupted everything to be selfish 💔 tbh i don't think any happy ending would end with megan x reader, and a part of me pictures megan always seeing reader as her first love but also the kind of "don't meet your heroes" bc not only did confessing ruin their friendhsip, it made megan realize that reader would never love her in the way that megan deserved..... like megan was so thoughtful their whole friendship and loved so big and maybe reader loved her back too but not in the way that megan deserved, and i think meg needed to experience saying her confession out loud to see that reader was just not going to love her back the way she dreamed of from the start. HONESTLY i picture manon and reader staying together but like you said, it's imperfect and something is missing... and i think once the confession happens and reader tells manon what happened, manon and megan are never able to go back to normal and it affects the kats so bad. like mnm can't be in the same room together type bad 💔 they perform together but you'll never catch them interacting outside of required engagements, behind closed doors manon gives megan the silent treatment and megan is lowkey a shithead about it ("oh here comes manz and her dogshit attitude 'cause she hates me!" she'd laugh sarcastically, and dani would just roll her eyes and groan bc she doesn't want to be forced to pick a side) bc yes megan is for sure in the wrong, she said a lot of shit she shouldn't have to someone in a relationship and even asked to kiss y/n so manon has every reason to want to kill her, but manon also never thanked megan enough for being the reason she ended up w reader? i feel like megan is a lil childish about it but manon is also just totally in denial. then the reader and megan aftermath, my shaylas 💔 this confession is 100% what lets megan finally let go of whatever fantasy she has of her and reader ending up together so she can heal, they prob go no contact for the rest of the kats' career, which works bc manon is never inviting reader to things anyways for the sake of keeping themselves private (total opposite of megan tbh!) so they're not running into each other anyways. manon tries not to talk about work anyways and reader doesn't dare ask about how things in the group are going. reader probably tries to get rid of everything that reminds her of megan which is extremely difficult bc they were intertwined like crazy in each other's lives.... but also why does she miss megan so bad if she never thought about what she had to lose w megan? prob is so close to having a realization so many times that she was awful to megan and took her for granted but honestly it hurts too bad to think about what could have been and what was ruined so reader just pushes those feelings down and focuses on pretending that everything is fine which manon is more than happy to do w her. sigh

Oshi no Ko Chapter 154

I need an outlet for this chapter so instead of posting a thread on Twitter (X), I'll just post my thoughts here.

Rereading this chapter while listening to this song on repeat. 💔

I despise Airi Himekawa. I don't know what horrible things has happened to her but no one, not even Hikaru Kamiki, deserved what happened to him as a child. Airi molesting this child is what started this all and I hate her.

For him to actually tell Ai "let's get married!" like that's the most normal thing going forward like "Taiki's my son I don't know what to do about it but with you, I will take responsibilty so let's get married" oh gosh just by typing this and knowing what are on the next pages is crushing me 😭

Also, Ai 😭 Would she know better? They're both so young that time but Ai left him because she wanted to take responsibility and lift the burden off Kamiki when they could have... 😭

And the way Kamiki just accepted it as it is even when he was so broken because he also believes he's undeserving of Ai or anyone's love 😭

But broken people do crazy shits and one of the craziest thing young broken Kamiki did was to tell her address to Ryosuke. But oh to read this line:

"The despair I felt when the girl I loved so much... That I was willing to sacrifice my life for... told me she couldn't love me." 💔😭

"We were just forcing our fantasies on Ai." He understood the lie she built as an idol but not the most important lie she told him I am heartbroken and I am typing this hearing the lyrics "it's torturous, tonight is gonna be the loneliest" SEND HELP 😭

The DVD oh my god 😭 Imagine how Hikaru might have felt after hearing Ai's voice for the first time in a long time, talking about him, how she understood how he was crushed by the entertainment industry, how she knows he's depending on him.

"The truth is, I really wanted to be with him forever. I wanted to carry the burden he carried and raise our children together. I wanted to live my future with him. After all, he's the first person I've ever wanted to love. Even though I don't really understand love."

"The first person I've ever wanted to love" From this line, you can't help but think, maybe when she was stabbed and said "I love you" to her children then the sigh of relief "I finally said it" maybe it was because on the first time, she wasn't able to say it properly to Kamiki, knowing in her heart that he was the first person she wanted to love. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Tears. Just tears. The Entertainment Industry-idols and artists- give happiness to their audience but at what cost?! Both of them were willing to take the risk and thinking of a future together but it's too late now because Ai is gone and whose fault? 😭😭😭

If Aqua's revenge is to crush his father mentally, make him live or die in regret, than good job Aqua because as a reader, I don't feel anything but regret reading through these panels. 😭

And then that last panel with Ruby. Makes me think that maybe she actually know who Kamiki was in chapter 146. Maybe she was not seeking answer from god, but she was trying to get an answer from her father because she knew all along that the man with umbrella was her father, because everytime she visits Ai's grave, she see's him visiting too. What a plot twist it would be if it was actually Ruby who's the first one who knew that Hikaru Kamiki was their father.

Ah. The story of Ai and Kamiki is so heartbreaking it resonates with this lyrics from The Loneliest by Maneskin:

You'll be the saddest part of me

A part of me that will never be mine

It's obvious

Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

Akakasa-sensei, I respect you and your writing. What a chapter.

[sapphire-weapon]

What do you expect and what would you like for the CV remake?

(If we ever have one 💔)

well, we know we're getting one. it's already leaked.

i just want jubilantly nihilist DSC steve back. i want him to end up being the most relatable character in the series because of it LMAO because it's in him. he has the potential. DSC showed it. i want him to be self-deprecating and have satirical commentary.

i also want alfred to get the salazar treatment -- but better. like, salazar from OG to remake became actually menacing and creepy, but he still retained his meme status. and that's a hard line to toe. the only criticism i have is that they pulled some of his best lines when they really didn't need to. if they can give alfred a true menace factor while also retaining his ridiculous laugh, for example, that's what i want.

alexia's backstory needs to be in the game. most of her backstory was told in wesker's report 2, and that's unacceptable. she has the potential to be just as iconic as wesker, and CVXR needs to give her that. judging from what hirabayashi's team did with krauser, though, i'm not worried. i think alexia will get the spotlight and attention she deserves.

i'm really excited to see what this team will do with the fairytale aspect of CVX -- because that was the first RE game to actually play with that trope. we know that hirabayashi fucking loves fairytales, so this should be a slam dunk. that having been said, though, i don't want claire and steve to get the leon and ashley treatment, just because it's been done already.

what i think would be interesting is like...

so, the guys on the final fantasy teams at square enix have VERY CLEARLY wanted to make a horror game for a long time. there are real horror sequences in 14, 15, 16, and 7R that are just begging to be turned into full games.

i want hirabayashi to make the game that the SE guys have always wanted to make. i want it to be a proper horror fantasy (as opposed to the light horror fantasy of RE4make) and have him play with the ideas of FF while he does it. FF is primarily a series about going against fate and writing your own story. i would love CVXR to be a game that twists that and tries to force claire and steve into specific roles, has them break those roles, but then ultimately has steve still die anyway because there actually was no escaping his fate.

that's what i want.

i don't think i'll get that. but i think that'd be neat.

but i think, based on hirabayashi's track record, i'm going to like whatever he comes up with.

🍒✨ Review #1 — Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor ✨🍒

ᯓ ✿ fantasy | angels & demons | hidden magic | found family | tragic love ✿ ᯓ ‍‍‍‍ ⤿ F — ya fantasy | urban fantasy | romance | magic | angels and demons

“It is a condition of monsters that they do not perceive themselves as such. The dragon, you know, hunkered in the village devouring maidens, heard the townsfolk cry ‘Monster!’ and looked behind him.”

🗝️ intro to the world: "Errand requiring immediate attention. Come." The note, pierced by the talons of an almost-crow, pulls Karou—blue-haired art student in Prague—back into the shadows. Raised half in our world and half in Elsewhere, she runs mysterious errands for Brimstone, a creature cloaked in secrets and teeth. She doesn’t know what she is, only that she’s caught between two lives... and when the doors to Elsewhere begin to close, she’s forced to choose.

🪽 what i loved: ⪼ the atmosphere — Prague, Marrakesh, Elsewhere... it felt like walking through a dream ⪼ Karou & Zuzana's friendship? adorable ⪼ the whole “world in bars” energy was just so unique ⪼ Karou & Brimstone’s bond — quietly one of my fav parts 💔 ⪼ Spoilers -> resurrection plot twists??? didn’t know I needed them but apparently I do ⪼ the last 30%: exhilarating, emotional, devastatingly beautiful

💔 on the love story: Yes, there’s insta-love. But. Forbidden love ➤ tragedy ➤ revenge arc? It broke me and made me. Akiva, I get you now.

📖 why not 5 stars? I got a little confused in places — mostly in transitions & lore — but the rich worldbuilding so makes up for it.

🌙 final thoughts: This felt like falling into a myth and scraping your knees on the way down. I'm already scared for book two, because they’re separated and I’m not emotionally ready 😭

“Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love. It did not end well.”

ᯓ ✿ cherryshelves rating: 4.5/5 stars ✿ ᯓ ⤿ full of teeth, wings, magic, and longing 🕯️

🌙 should you read this? 🌙 If you love lush, imaginative fantasy worlds with unique magic and a strong mythic vibe✨, with forbidden love 💔, found family 🤝, and a bit of bittersweet heartbreak 🖤, this trilogy is for you. The story can be a little confusing at times 🤔, and yes, there’s some insta-love 💨—but the atmosphere and emotional payoff make it worth it. Perfect if you’re into urban fantasy with epic romance and mystery 🔮.

[theflyingfeeling]

no one asked but here's some more of that cursed Olli/Allu + infidelity trope for y'all, do what you will with this 💔

~

Aleksi couldn't sleep.

He couldn't sleep, so he stared at the ceiling of Olli's guest room, barely able to make out the panelling through the darkness. He couldn't sleep, so he tossed and turned and cursed his aching knees for hitting him when he was already down, bending double in his agony. He couldn't sleep, so he kept kicking the duvet Olli's girlfriend had given him and pulling it over himself again to muffle his frustrated groans.

He couldn't sleep, so he kept replying it in his mind over and over again.

~*~

The new album was the best they had ever made, yet Aleksi wanted to mute it so he could've listened to Olli talk about how he had created the cover art. The wintery scene surrounding them on the frozen Nallikari was breathtaking, but Aleksi only had eyes for Olli and his rosy cheeks.

Aleksi loved playing shows and the adrenaline rush they gave him, but none of that compared to the thrill of Olli standing in front of him and sliding his frozen fingers in the pockets of Aleksi's quilted coat to warm them up. "Forgot my gloves", he said, although to Aleksi the reason was irrelevant.

He had wanted to kiss Olli right there and then already, the freezing sea breeze (and his own piercing fear) the only force keeping him standing straight instead of leaning in. When he finally did kiss Olli, later that day back in Olli's house with Olli's girlfriend asleep in the next room, it felt nothing like the northern wind that had blown right through him hours earlier; instead it felt like those days in early spring when you could finally feel the sun warm you up again after months of cold and darkness and emptiness, because that was exactly how it was for Aleksi: finally getting to feel something he had been longing for. For how long, he wasn't even sure himself.

For months?

(For years?)

(Ever since he understood what longing for someone actually felt like?)

"Uhh," Olli said to his lips, breaking the kiss. "I need to go. Sorry."

And Aleksi had let him, because what else was he supposed to do? Olli had somewhere to be, someone else to sleep next to, and Aleksi, even in his deepest fantasies, had no right to ask him to stay, to ask him to kiss him back again like their lips were built for it (because that's what it had felt like when Olli had kissed him back), to ask him to take him any way he wanted (Aleksi had already imagined them all by then). He couldn't do that, because they couldn't do that, because the universe had a fucked-up sense of humour and had put the two of them together in this infernal parrallel reality in which they could never have each other the way Aleksi needed for them to have each other.

And so Aleksi sat on the thin mattress he had helped Olli get out of the storeroom with endless giggles Aleksi could still feel in his stomach muscles, avoiding having to lie down and smell the fabric softener from the bedsheets and imagine Olli and his girlfriend selecting it together while grocery shopping. Aleksi had grown used to it back at home, avoiding going back upstairs and lie down on his side of the bed and pretend all his thoughts were not consumed by someone else than the person who had – out of courtesy or habit or love, it made little difference anymore – left him a spot to curl up on as if nothing had changed.

The world's quietest knock on the guest room door was not something Aleksi had not expected, however, nor the helpless, almost apologetic look in Olli's eyes, a striking difference from the earlier playfulness on the ice or the hazy lust just seconds before Aleksi had put his lips on Olli's. Now, Olli's eyes were sombre, woeful, and Aleksi could not think of a more blissful fate than to let himself drown in them.

Olli was careful when he closed the door behind him; Aleksi knew exactly why, but anything that was lying in wait for them outside the room vanished when Olli crouched down in front of him and on the mattress with a finger on his lips, ordering Aleksi to not let out a sound. He didn't, not even when Olli took the finger away and replaced it with Aleksi's lips on his, pushing him down the mattress before Aleksi could fight back (like hell he would have).

When Olli kissed down his neck, he tempted his fate and sighed as loud as he dared to without defying Olli's silent directions too much in fear of Olli coming to his senses and rushing out of the room, but on the contrary, Olli only seemed to become more hungry listening to Aleksi's gasps and voiceless moans. Olli's hands found the underside of Aleksi's t-shirt, one he had borrowed from Olli to sleep in with no intention to ever give it back, and Aleksi's attempts to stay quiet became more strenuous by every inch of skin Olli's hands glided on. Olli himself was already topless when he had showed up at the guestroom door frame, which gave Aleksi all the wrong reasons to not stop Olli when he undressed him of his shirt (in his defence (or to his utmost shame), half of him was already imagining their clothless chests pressed together seconds before it actually happened).

Aleksi was more than aware of Olli's hardness grinding against his own, the friction it provided sending Aleksi to heaven by each needy movement of Olli's hips. He was more than ravenous for Olli's touch, starving for it, the hunger for it the driving force for all his actions in that moment. More than anything, Aleksi was in love; in love with the feeling of Olli's hungry mouth on his and his erection grinding next to his own on his abdomen and Olli's long bass player's fingers working him open and their hearts screaming each other by name and with Olli's eyes nailing him to the mattress when they broke apart for some air before their desire would suffocate them.

"Not a sound," Olli mouthed to him when he finally slid inside Aleksi, and with the thinnest thread of willpower Aleksi managed to keep himself from crying into the night like a wolf at the moon. He felt Olli move inside him, first slowly and carefully and – Aleksi couldn't stand it – lovingly, until he found a new rhythm and begun to thrust with more force and lust and need and everything else Aleksi wanted from him, even if none of it would never be his to keep in the end.

Aleksi wrapped his legs tightly around Olli to force him even closer even though Olli was already literally inside him. As per Olli's orders, he didn't dare to speak, but he hoped the look on his face would be enough to let Olli know what he wanted: 'faster, harder, more, right there, like that, don't stop, for the love of god don't let this end, because if I get to have you inside me for one night and then never again, I'd rather this be my mortal moment'.

Seeing the bliss on Olli's face as he thrusted into him eagerly was almost a greater pleasure to Aleksi than the cock moving inside him. That was why, although on the brink of his climax, he fought against it as best as he could, just so he would still be in his senses to witness Olli reaching his own. They kissed once more before either of them got there, their mouths and bodies melting together, with Olli's hands gripping the sheets as Aleksi's moved to his bottocks to urge him to move faster. Aleksi tasted salt and desperation on Olli's lips, from sweat and the growing need to get his release, but when Aleksi felt Olli's teeth bite into his bottom lip, he knew it was only a matter of seconds.

Olli came inside him with a heavy breath that only barely was quiet enough to not be heard outside the room, or so Aleksi hoped, more for Olli's sake than his own. Olli's eyes rolled back for a split second and he stopped thrusting to catch his breath, before looking down at Aleksi and rolling his hips in a circle in such a tormenting way that made Aleksi want to ask Olli what he wanted of him.

Aleksi himself knew exactly what he wanted of Olli, and as if the man was reading his mind (Aleksi did not even dare to imagine the possibility), he took Aleksi in his hand and helped him over the edge, still throbbing inside him, still as if holding Aleksi's heart in his hands instead of his spilling cock.

Then, suddenly, the sea inside Aleksi was as calm as the one under the ice on which they had stood earlier that day, with Olli's hands inside his pockets and Aleksi's everything in Olli's gaze. He had no choice but to hope Olli felt the same when he lay next to Aleksi on the narrow mattress, hand on his stomach and mouth on his neck, and Aleksi might have fallen asleep there, if all too soon Olli had not sat up without saying a word (even if the kiss he left on Aleksi's shoulder said more than any word that could've fallen from between Olli's perfect lips).

He stopped to look at Aleksi by the door on his way out, but his expression was unreadable. Maybe it was the darkness of the room, maybe it was something else. Aleksi could not bring himself to ponder between options.

(He did anyway.)

~*~

Aleksi couldn't sleep, but that was the smallest of his problems.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

(THEN...)

Li wasn't named by her mother; but by a thirteen year old girl that decided to step in and act as such. It wasn't completely unheard of; adopting another person meant one more mouth to feed, but also a remidy for heartbreaking loneliness. Loneliness is a dangerous thing; it slowly eats your mind and soul from the inside out until you're just a carcass of who you had once been.

Li owes everything to that thirteen year old girl. Now she's thirteen herself, and her adoptive mother twenty-six; she finally is old enough to be able to help her and repay all that she has done for her. Li never calls her mum and she never refers to her as a daughter; but they quietly act as such, and after so many years together, the affection they hold for each other is undeniable. Honest love and loyalty is rarely found in the lower levels of Coruscant, where the artificial light barely makes an appearance and the scum of the galaxy crawls into the night.

Li tries to do anything on her hand to bring food to the table. She had managed to get hired as a cleaner for a junk food bar ten levels above from home two years ago; and though she always ends up feeling exhausted at the end of her turn, being able to bring Saisa some credits makes her feel better about it. It's not much. There are still days where the two are forced to go to the old matress they share as a bed with their stomachs empty and rumbling from hunger, winters with just one layer of clothing that leaves them trembling and easily subjectible to illness; but they make do with what they have, and that's that.

Thirteen year old Li drags her exhausted self through Coruscant's dark streets. Some call the capital the city of lights, the city that never sleeps; but that's because they haven't been down here, where she lives. It's almost eerily silent, the air charged and humid, figures dissapearing into the dark. Years ago, when Li was smaller, she often felt scared going out on her own; now that fear has morphed into wariness. The Corries might keep things in order in the medium and upper levels; but down here no one's particularly safe.

Li's in a dangerous age. Most people don't enjoy picking on children that can't really understand what's happening around them or defend themselves; so eight year old Li hadn't had to cope with much more than a few insults and jokes back then. She's just stepping into her teenage years now, though; and Saisa often reminds her of that fact with a concerned warning or two. Li knows she worries about her; but it's not like they can change their situations. Saisa has her own job to attend to, and can't walk the way with her; and they need both their salaries –if you can call them that– to survive.

Suddenly, a door opens on one side of the street, and Li barely has the chance to glance at the sound before she's being slammed against the wall on the opposite side. The rocks dig painfully into her back, and her breathing is knocked out of her for a second; the person in front of her reacting with a dry laugh.

"Well, well, well. Look' what we have here" the man's breath reeks of alcohol and stale, and she has to make an effort to not gag in front of him. "Has no one told ya' little girls shouldn't be on their own down'ere?"

Li doesn't even know what to say. Her mind is working a hundred miles per hour, trying to find the best solution and pondering how not to anger him. She hears an extra two pair of steps and looks behind him; there are three of them now, and only one her. Fear grips every muscle and bone on her body. She tries to hold it in.

"I was just on my way home" she finally answers, voice slightly trembling, but firm enough. "You can take the credits and I'll be gone".

The man laughs. Li's hair moves in front of her face. He searches her pockets until he finds the credits –one whole month worth of them–; then throws them to the other two men who are silently watching the interaction between them.

"Well, that's a tempting offer" he grins, stepping closer until they are literally pressed together. Li tries not to flinch. The stranger drags his eyes down her body in a lascivious way. His dilated pupils focuses back on hers with a dark, mocking smile. "But I think there's more than one tempting offer here".

His dry hand cups the side of her face; his body ondulating forward against hers, and this time Li visibly shakes. The man chuckles lowly and tilts his head.

"Come on now, no need to be scared. I'm not even planning on hurting you, I promiss I'll be gentle if you behave" he pushes her chin up sharply, making space for his chapped lips to press against her neck. He drags his mouth up to hers, speaking over it and bringing tears to Li's eyes. "I just haven't had a fuck in years. Just need a warm body to clench around my cock. Are you gonna' do that for me, mm? Gonna' be a sweetheart and give me some relief?"

The man forces his lips on hers, and Li focuses on not vomiting, squeezing his eyes shut tightly and tensing like a cord while she let's the man's tongue have his way with her. She fakes a small moan of a whimper and when he steps back to check at her in surprised satisfaction, Li shows him a scared, but shy flustered wobbly smile.

"O-okay. Just-Just don't hurt me, please" she pleads, following his offer for now, her mind screaming it's the safest bet, and the stranger grins.

"Sure thing, sweets" he steps back and leaves some space between them, standing next to the other two men and crossing his arms expectantly in front of his chest. He arches an eyebrow. "Go on, then. Don't be shy. Take your clothes off and gives us a little show".

Li nods, terrified. Her heart is going so fast she fears it'll jump out of her chest; her hands trembling constantly while her fingers grasp her only jacket and slowly starts pulling it of. The man who started this smiles widely, encouragingly, while the other two glance at each other in silent comunication. Li mentally prepares herself. She carefully throws her jacket at them in what could be interpreted as a seductive movement; and then, the next second, she's running away, her legs taking her as fast as they can to escape.

She hears insults and echoing steps behind her, but she doesn't waste time turning around, and she keeps running, and running, and running. Her pulse is pounding in her throat, her tears blurrs her vision, and she feels close to passing out from the mix of terror and adrenaline; but she knows this is her only chance at getting away, so she forces all of that down and keeps running. In the mean time, one same sentence repeats itself over and over on her head;

"I wanna' go home. I want to go home. I want to go home. Home, home, home, home..."

Her body starts to feel lighter. Her skin tingles from her toes to the top of her head, and she vaguely worries if she's going to pass out. Un-noticed by her, a soft purple glow intensifies as seconds pass around her body; and then, suddenly, the scenery switches violently and changes in a nauseating swirl.

Li rams into the wall of her and Saisa's bedroom. The twenty six year old woman incorporates with a shocked gasp.

"Li?" She's quickly kneeling at her side, caressing her hair and trying to make sense of what had just happened, blinking in confusion, and the thirteen year old girl breaks down.

"Mum" she sobs, calling her as such for the first time in a decade and throwing herself on her arms.

Saisa's got a million of questions in her head; but she puts them on hold, and hugs the teenager to herself. She gives a kiss to her hair.

"Sh..." she soothes her, heart clenching in worry. "I'm here".

Li sniffs and burrows her face against her shoulder. Her body still shakes. Her mind doesn't even start questioning herself; she's just so relieved she's safe...

"I lost the jacket" she mumbles against Saisa, exhaustion tugging at every muscle and bone "and one month's pay".

The woman caresses her back and answers in a calm voice.

"That's okay. Winter is coming to an end anyway, and we've got a tiny bit saved".

Li mumbles something else she can't quite hear. Saisa continues to hold her in silence. The next time she checks on her, the teenager has already surrendered to sleep. Saisa carefully pulls her onto their bed and lays behind her. She stays awake for some minutes before succumbing to tiredness as well.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

(NOW...)

The ARC is paying rapt attention to Captain Rex's debrief. The new mision doesn't involve the 501st as a whole, it's not a battle they're being sent to this time; but a special op for just Torrent Company, requested by the Chancellor himself. It happens from time to time; when initially insignificant things start to spiral out of control and someone needs to push it to a stop.

The civilian in question has a long list of crimes; too long to still be roaming free through Coruscant. The trooper's eyes scans through it; vandalism, burglary, breaking into private property, violation of parole, and even a first and second-degree murder sprinkled in between. He frowns. The woman is twenty years old; a bit young to have done all that, to have that much rage and hate inside of her. What could have driven her to do this? Is there a specific reason, an explanation, or is she plainly evil?

The ARC waits patiently while Captain Rex pinpoints the strategy for the subject's capture. He can read de confusion amongst his fellow troopers; though that civ' definitely should be put behind bars, this is not exactly their competence. Have the Corries been unable to capture her? And if so, how?

Rex taps on his datapad and shows them a video on the big screen; quickly answering their silent question.

"And here's the reason why we have to step in, boys" he gestures to the moving image with a jerk of his chin. "She's a Blink".

There's a collective groan at that. The usually silent troopers start muttering under their breath to each other, watching how the woman in the video is surrounded by a purple glow and vanishes from thin air in front of a Corrie's visual in a blink of an eye. "Blinks", as people call them, are a nightmare to catch. Depending on their self-taught training, they can teleport to any place in the world; in the galaxy. And their galaxy is big enough. He suposes he should be thankful that there's only one or two Blinks per each million habitants. Contrary to most other abbilities, it's not a hereditary trait.

The ARC trooper shares a knowing glance with his brother Echo. They already know this is going to be a long complicated mision. Blasted universe with it's unhinged powers...

That night, Fives dreams are cold and full of snow.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

His teeth are rattling against each other inside of his bucket. He's fucking freezing even with his termo-blacks on and his white and blue armour standing as a second barrier against the cold. They had managed to track the Blink to Ioth thanks to Jesse; his brother has the ability to find people with his mind in a way that reminds him too much of a Jedi using the Force. Kaminoans had experimented on decades of generations of clones to create them with useful abilities: all funded by the Republic in an attempt to keep the increasingly dangerous galaxy under control. When a normal civilian suddenly develops the power to set fire to a whole building with just a flicker of a hand, normal everyday troopers aren't enough.

Not all citizens posses powers, thanks the Maker; it's still a minority, but a minority in a galaxy of millions is significant. In the same way, not everyone in the GAR does; though Torrent Company is an elite squad where they all have one ability or another, put together to face the most complicated of situations. Fives has premonitory dreams, glimpses of possible futures –usually at random, though he can concentrate in specifics sometimes–; Echo can interact with and control every single piece of machinery around them. Captain Rex can influence and manipulate minds to a certain degree; Kix makes cells regenerate –wether it's on himself or another being–, which inmediately directed him to medic training. Hardcase makes things explode –like Wrecker from the Bad Batch, he'd heard–, Dogma conjures shields, and Tup, the most recent rookie, can inflict pain –which he had decided to represent by the small tattoo of a tear in his right undereye–. It's a good mix.

Unfortunately, Fives knows it's not going to be enough. He's seen this place on his dreams; has watched the woman escaping them in dozens of possible futures. There's ony one of them where they manage to get her –which is why they have to try, no matter how small the probability is–; but realistically, the ARC knows they won't succeed in Ioth.

They don't. Torrent manages to surprise her alright –Jesse's ability crutial to track her through the snow–; but as soon as she recognises the threat, she opens fire with an almost entertained smile. Dogma brings up a shield upon them inmediately –the kind ones that droideka's have but amplified in size–; and Rex doesn't wait a second on trying to subdue her.

"Stand down and turn yourself in" he orders her in that kind of special low, dark voice, an abbility almost no-one is able to resist.

To everyone's surprise, the young woman smirks.

"Mm. I don't think I will, trooper. You'll have to find a way to forgive me".

She doesn't flee inmediately, though she could, and instead humours them with a small chuckle, an amused arched eyebrow, and an explanation.

"Surprised, huh? I'll let you onto a little secret; most mental powers don't have an effect on me" she mockingly whispers to them. "You'd have a better chance with physical ones, if you have some of that".

As an answer, Tup quickly extends his hand forward, and quietly turns up the pain receptors inside of her. Her knees bend with a whimpered, muffled scream.

Rex makes a subtle sign and they all inmediately move towards her; but even twitching in pain, with her jaw clenched and eyes tightly shut closed, she vanishes in a blink of purple.

The captain sighs and turns to Jesse. He answers without needing to be asked; concentrating for a few minutes while the rest of them give him some quiet to work in.

"Parla" he finally states, and Rex nods firmly.

At least it's not a far jump from where they are.

The captain gives a few last orders around.

"Echo, bring the ship here. I'm kriffing tired of this cold. And Tup" he stares at the young trooper, who already looks nervously guilty. "Wait for a signal next time. She's cocky; our best chance to get her is to indulge her in a chat, not spooke her like that".

"Yes, sir. Sorry, sir" Tup inmediately answers, Heavy coming closer to pat his shoulder comfortingly.

That night, Fives dreams shows him glimpses of a woman named Saisa.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Fives has folders and folders of information of his dreams on his datapad. He has had so many visions and possible futures –some becoming a reality, some not– it's only sensible to do so; keep everything more or less organised and saved in case he doesn't remember it quite well and needs to go back and check on them. He dreams of that same woman, Saisa, again and again on the following weeks; while Torrent jumps from Ioth to Parla, from Parla to Naboo, and then to Alderaan, Corellia, Hoth, and back to Parla.

It takes him a while, but with each dream, he begins to see a connection. This woman is vitally important to the Blink –he just knows by the way they interact together in his dreams–; and if there might be someone in the galaxy the fugitive would be itching to visit from time to time, it's definitively her. Fives just needs to figure out where exactly this Saisa lives and they'll be able to set a trap instead of following this girl through the whole kriffing galaxy.

He meditates; just like the Jedi taught him to. He can redirect his visions better this way; and he focuses on just one thing, Saisa. Ironically, it's not the woman in question the one that appears on his dream; but the one they are trying to catch, the Blink herself.

<< "Who's Saisa?" a quiet, peaceful version of Fives ask, eyes trained on the young female in front of him.

She glances back at him with intrigue; wariness but trust at the same time.

"Why' you wanna' know that?"

Soft rays of light make a halo around her shape, almost like the purple glow that hugs her body every time she teleports, and Fives' dream version can't help but think of how beautiful she is.

"I... I've seen us taking her in. Helping her escape of the hands of the Empire" Fives pauses, evaluating her reaction. "She must be important to you, because you cried in this vision upong getting her back to safety. You both did. So, who is she?"

Li smiles nostalgically; in a way that tugs at Fives' heart. She steps closer to him.

"Remember... Remember the things I told you about my past?" She asks, fingers playing with each other nervously. Fives knows this is delicate. He nods in silence, stepping closer too, ready to listen to this bit of her story, of herself. Usually, she's not one to share much. "Saisa is the woman who took care of me when I was abandoned at birth. She gave me her food when she didn't have anything to eat herself, protected me, put me back together after I... After I..."

She struggles, and Fives lays a comforting hand on her shoulder, caresses the skin there. She takes a deep breath and continues; and Fives must have already been told of this, because he's not surprised, but calm and understanding instead.

"After I was almost raped" she manages to continue. "She was basically my mother, the closest person I've ever had. I lost contact with her after she left Coruscant... But I love her, wherever she is. She is important, Fives".

He nods, and tucks the woman into his arms. Li closes her eyes with a sigh. >>

Wrenching himself back from his vision, Fives pants. His mind works a million thoughts per second. He was right; Saisa is an important person to the Blink, sort of an adoptive mother. And she must live in Coruscant still. But... There's more to unfold. There's a difficult past to Li's story and... He's not quite sure how, yet; but he might be an important person to the Blink in the future as well.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The Corries make the dirty work for them. They ask around through Coruscant, and are redirected to the medium levels; and it's only a matter of time and investigation from there. They find a thirty four year old Saisa that matches with Fives' stories; and Torrent Company travels back home, ready to set the trap in.

They plan everything out. A Blink is still a Blink, and even if they'd manage to catch her by surprise at Saisa's home, like in Ioth, there's really no tell if they'd be fast enough to put her in cuffs before she vanishes to somewhere else. So they make Saisa do it. Rex uses his compulsion on her; orders her to act normal if Li pops in the apartment to visit her and wait until she is distracted to seal the power-blocking cuffs around her wrists. Saisa's eyes only show a sliver of pannick and fear for one second before her emotions are soothed out in forced compliance. At the Captain's orders, she goes back to her day almost like a robot, undisturbed; and Rex and the two ARCs twins find a good spot to hide in the apartment while the rest of Torrent takes post around the building. Now it's just a matter of time and patience.

It takes four days for the Blink to appear. She acts normal, but Fives can tell she's wary; eyes glancing to the sides and around her from time to time while she chats with Saisa. The ARC can now read that same affection he had seen in his dreams; in the way Li closes her eyes shut and sags in the older woman's hug, releasing a deep, tired sigh. There's an audible magnetic click; and the Blink tears herself of Saisa, trying to tug her wrists free in a quick succesion of confusion, understanding, shock, hurt and betrayal.

"Saisa?" Is the only thing she says, a quiet whisper.

Captain Rex gives a signal, and Fives and Echo make an entrance, pointing their blasters at her firmly. She quickly turns towards them, stunned, and Captain Rex smirks.

"Don't blame her. Turns out compulsion does work alright with her".

Rage flickers through her face.

"You piece of shit!" She snarls, trying to bring a fist towards him, shaking in place when she quickly realises she's unable to.

She tries to teleport, then; her feet remaining stuck to the kitchen floor.

"It's over. You're going to prison, Miss" Rex goes to stand behind her, pushing her outside of the apartment firmly, Echo at his side while Fives walks after them.

He's silent while they take her to the Corries. He's silent while she's quickly found guilty in a trial; while the boys in red push her into a cell. He doesn't tell anyone about her, not even Echo; about dreams of pink fields and golden sunsets, a small house by the lake, a heartfelt keldabe kiss and the way his heart clench when he calls her mesh'la and cyare in a voice he has never used with someone else.

Fives doesn't know how can their story change so much from now to then. But there's a hundred posibilities of a future like that, and just two that differ in a complete oposite direction; and he knows what that means.

Maybe he'd be able to have it all, with just a bit of luck. Echo, Li, his brothers and a small house by the lake everyone would be welcomed in. Aliit, love, and a kid with a smirk that looks just like his.

THE END.

Mun about Muse // Accepting!

going under a cut because it's boutta get LONG

✍ Favorite thing about writing the muse? - shiki God I love her entire aspect of a doctor so closely connected to death that it BECOMES her in a sense that she can never die, is forced to hear them, and refuses to die because she has to SAVE lives. Being a sort of irony in itself type of thing, juxtaposition maybe? Idk she fascinates me.

👀Favorite thing about the muse’s appearance? - margaret Her clothing style. God I love it, it's renaissance but also gothic in a sense. She's just a beautiful muse all together tbh.

🌌Favorite alternate version of the muse? - kyu HER FINAL FANTASY 7 VERSE. OH GOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH, it's also her OG verse but man Kyu shines there. She's a former experiment used in a secret army a company was making in secret (duh), but Shiki had to basically kill her and bring her back in order to save her life. Cut to years later as an adult and she's apart of an eco terrorist/freedom fighting group as tech and propaganda under the pseudonym 'Agit', because who would ever guess a dead girl would be responsible for so much defamation and slander towards a company killing the planet?

💕Favorite ship for the muse? - lettie From her OG canon but it's with Vil Schoenheit (Twisted Wonderland), they have such a Howl and Sophie feel but it's so so sO much more than that. In the Chapter of the game that focuses on him, they end up butting heads and arguing with each other 99% of the time up until they have a huge argument that caused a curse of hers to flare up in front of the group which made her disappear for a bit. She does eventually return to their side and during the final half of the chapter after he attempts to MURDER someone and succumbs to basically what is, in simple terms, 'Magic berserker mode' and attempts to kill the group- Lettie ends up seeing his past memories and it helps her further understand who he is as a person in order to help the group drag him back from what happened to him. (I tried to explain this in simple terms BUT I DIGRESS!!!) Vil is a character who is dead SET on Perfection, he needs to be the 'fairest of them all' considering he is a model, an actor, and a student all in one- and with Lettie she's able to make him be in tune with the world and his emotions. With her he doesn't need to be 'the Actor, the Model, Vil Schoenheit', she doesn't see him as a villain or as someone who needs to be *perfect*....just *Vil.*

💔Least favorite ship for the muse? - bazz I gotta be....so totally honest....anyone that isn't Noah or Jugram. I CAN'T see him with anyone other than them and I'm !!!!!!! And while I'm not a hardcore shipper of Jugram/Bazz, I respect them just being friends- I just can't SEE him with anyone else.

💢Something about the muse that annoys you? - candice Kubo give me more about Candice, I am BEGGING you. I just want more femritters tbfh- Like I want to know her motives for being in the wandenreich but also I know full well that uuuh canon is my sandbox and I can do what I want. :)

😈Worst thing you’ve ever done to your muse? - tsukuyomi Put him through TYBW and the Yōkai arc where he commits social suicide and ruins his life to essentially help everyone. My fox is just going through it tbh.

😂Funniest thing that’s ever happened to your muse? - emil any of his cooking adventures tbfh. Homeboy will make pork cake and lose his mind over the recipe then make his friends eat it.

💡 What inspires you to write the muse? - mataro I love the 'harsh mentor grows soft and protective with his students' trope. But also because he's just...gggoooood he's such an interesting character when you finally see him outside of his usual harsh exterior, because he cares so goddamn much about the people close to him. He just doesn't show it much and he probably never will...

📷 Favorite picture/screencap of your muse? - michiru HERE.

📑 Favorite part of your muse’s backstory? - azrael SLAMS THE DOOR OPEN CAN I TALK ABOUT HER DESCENT INTO MADNESS AND HOW SHE PROJECTS HER OBSESSION WITH DIANA ONTO LETTIE??? BECAUSE GOD. It fascinates me how she justifies it as a sort of 'I'm doing this because I want your attention' way before it turns into a 'I'm doing this because I will break you down to want my attention, praise and approval.'- she lovebombs lettie to the point she's uncomfortable with her presence but she's smart enough to back off and make lettie come to her for answers to questions she may have all while keeping her involvement as her mother's killer a secret. She WANTS Diana to squirm even in the afterlife, knowing how close she is to her daughters and how easily she can manipulate them or even HARM them. Azrael has gone as far as to MUTILATE Diana's daughters to get what she wants (Ophelia basically loses her arm and it turns into some monstrosity) and she acts innocent up until she can't anymore.

📝 Favorite headcanon for your muse? - shion / samael That he's a girl dad. Granted new developments with Reb have him and Elli having a son together (Liir Athanasiou I love you so), he's always so gentle with anyone he considers his child, but especially the girls. I don't know WHAT it is but this intimidating man will always be down to join any of his daughters for a tea party at a young age or just talk with them about things,,,

😒 Is there anything canon about your muse that you ignore? - shinji "orihime was my first love" "you say that about all the pretty girls you meet." bro he's gay as hell next question. Also Shinji you are a grownass man leave Orihime's name out of your mouth.

🔮 What do you see in your muse’s future? - ume I haven't gotten that far yet but I would love to see Ume in a therapist role, working with the 4th and helping out various reapers who would need the assistance or an ear to listen to tbh.

🔥 Unpopular opinion about your muse? - kenpachi can I be a lil thirsty on main? great. I think he's one of the more attractive characters in bleach (spike hair included) and the people who rag on him will not survive the winter. Thank you.

💭 Favorite memory of the muse? - yuuji TYBW. It HAS to be when Yuuji cut their own leg off to free themselves from the rubble of 12 after it was attacked. They had zero hesitation to do it either and honestly it's the most metal shit they could ever do in my book.

😩 Hardest thing about writing the muse? - äs nödt ...man tbfh it's figuring out his dialogue, As nodt isn't....a yapper like my other muses. So finding a good balance between him talking PLUS having action heavy replies is....a challenge.

⌨ What’s a situation you’ve always wanted to RP with the muse? - akane GIVE. ME. MORE. TYBW. AKANE. She LOSES HER BANKAI AND HAS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ADAP WITHOUT IT AND SHE HAS TO ESSENTIALLY GO BACK TO BASICS. Not to mention it's a time where her and her siblings essentially reconcile over events that happened in the living when they were alive. Idk this era of Akane fascinates me but I also just wanna write her more...

🎭 How similar are you and the muse? - kazuko Next to none lmao, Kazuko is a very elegant, Geisha styled muse. She's always so poised where I am the first person to lose my ever loving MIND over the smallest of things. Overall she could give me a hug and I'd start crying.

[deliciouspirateangel]

just finished binging the entirety of high school musical: the musical: the series in six days and now i'm going to ramble about it for longer than anyone would care to read. it's gonna be generally positive but definitely nini and olivia unfriendly so if you dont wanna read that... dont ♥️♥️

so i suggested to my sister a while ago that i wanted to watch the show bc the videos that youtube commentary channel "pretty much it" did for it were hysterical. and she had watched the first couple of eps by herself and was like "i dont think you'll like it. its not as funny as they make it seem". but we finally decided to start it anyway

(also i dont know the entire casts' real names so i'll mostly refer to them as their character names)

season 1:

that first season was kind of rough. especially the pilot. it got better over time but its definitely my least favorite season over all. im not even a fan of high school musical so it lacked the nostalgia enjoyment for me

and i definitely did not like nini and her main character syndrome. and sorry to say but i think olivia is the least talented cast member over all. pretty privilege is so real like she didnt deserve to be the break out star she was just the most marketable. kourtney and ashlyn's voices were so strong and stellar, and they might not've been Dancers but they could definitely move. and gina was the best dancer in the fucking world and while i do think her voice wasnt as good, she could obviously still sing. nini's best talent moments were when olivia was shining thru imo (that one taking it for gra-a-a-anted song comes to mind first) but i was not here for the acoustic numbers and honestly i dont think she was a great actress

so i definitely wasnt a fan of the whole nini ricky gina ej love square. i know its a tried and true teen show staple but goddamn it got tiring. i just never liked rini and i didnt like how nini treated him right from the start asklfjlds. she was also rude as hell to everyone else, especially gina, being all passive aggressive towards her. literally saying she wanted to kick gina in the face bc gina is a good dancer and she's intimidated?? but also all the talk in general about gina being intimidating or aggressive or a bad seed like ??? the microaggressions were off the charts

not to mention the fucking macroaggression of kourtney's entire s1 "character". i think hattie mcdaniel had a more nuanced role in gone with the wind. it was so fucking painful to watch. she didnt exist to be anything other than nini's personal soundboard, cheerleader, stylist, life coach, and whatever else she needed in the moment. thank god they gave her a real character by s2 bc kourtney was way too talented, too gorgeous, too charismatic to be forced into the role of nini's handmaid the whole time

i dont really have much to say about s1 cause i wasnt into it at the time lol. it was okay. all the actors did a good job, it was kind of funny, the only song that really stood out was miss jenn's fantasy sequence song with lucas. the actually high school musical show they put on was painful to watch but thats high school theater for you babyyy

season 2:

this was such an improvement from s1 and my favorite season over all. there were a handful of eps in the middle where i was constantly like "this is my fave ep" "ok this is my fave ep" "ok now THIS is my fave ep" it was a delight. i love beauty and the beast and was so happy for ashlyn getting belle, and everyone else was very well cast. although idk why seb was chip and not cogsworth?? my sister said it was bc disney didnt want to confirm that they were gay 💔💔

the music was obviously better bc we've got fucking alan menken on the track. all the numbers from the show were perfect. i wish ej had gotten to sing the gaston reprise bc he didnt get to reach his full gaston potential and i think we deserved that 💔

the debacle with the whole rose song was sooo annoying. nini deserved to be that fork. she dragged the whole show down like it was always so much better when she wasnt there aklfjlksd

the rivalry with the other school was lots of fun. i liked all the new characters. my favorite original song was miss jenn's number with derek hough

season 3:

this season was likeee a pleasant mid for me??? idk it was fine and fun but it didnt have anything in it that blew me away. i think this season was screaming for extra episodes more than any other, since we were missing a chunk of the cast. we deserved to cut back to salt lake every now and again and see what the non-camp-goers were up to

kourtney and gina as elsa and anna was a dream. not the biggest fan of frozen but they did a good job. everyone looked so cute in their costumes and kourtney's solo was amazinggg. the new characters were fun but i dont have strong feelings towards them lol. but i loved getting to explore kourtney's character and her struggles with anxiety, that was very real

them filming a documentary was funny bc have they not been filming one this whole time? my headcanon was that the to-the-camera interviews were all in their heads and everyone was practicing for when they became famous lol but then ricky ruined that in s4 by acknowledging them directly rip 💔

i liked after their show ended and they all got sharpies and wrote their names on the walls back stage. that was definitely a potent theater kid memory and got me a lil teary eyed

i liked ej taking on the role of director and copying miss jenn's hand holding and high pitched singing at the first read thru. i liked ej and gina together i thought they were cute. it was disappointing that the show wouldnt commit to them for even a minute and they always had to be teetering on the edge between being a couple and not. that was frustrating

and girl just get nini out of there already. olivia wanted nini to be there as much as i did. she was sooo over it by s3

umm favorite original song was corbin bluh's basketball song

season 4:

very very fun season again. loved the chaos of filming the movie at the school while school is happening. as if every movie set in a real school doesnt shoot in the summer. oh well. gotta have a season!

there was too much mack for me personally. i dont think he gave wanted they wanted to be given. i needed more dani tho. her actress was so good at bad acting. she couldve been a much bigger comedic presence also she looked like a cross between sofia carson and emma roberts but sometimes just looked like a latina emma roberts ??? is that just me??

and still the lack of seb and big red at the beginning like ?? did they specifically piss off the writers so they had to banish them for nearly half the show?

loved that the little girl from camp was there. she stole the show. and maddox and jet are fine alskfjsldk i just didnt form strong opinions on them but i do like them

ashlyn's "i need to give her mouth to mouth! AS A FRIEND!" was the funniest line of the entire show hands down

so happy they finally had a halloween episode! it was lots of fun and everyone looked so cute in their costumes uwu. but that guy from camp that was stalking carlos??? that was so bizarre and it never paid off likeee what was the reason

and gina's mom was pissing us off so bad. she was acting wild this season. like gina has to focus on her studies so no boys but she can work from sun up to sun down on a movie lmao. and her mom had the nerve to be like "well i never came to your shows bc that was just high school theater but THIS is a movie" like wooow. and i swear it felt like she was about to sell gina off to mack bc he was famous. and when she started with that "porters dont wait around" mess and ricky cleared her with a quickness with that whole "well i seem to remember gina waiting around for you on opening night" like damn

and omg when mack was over for dinner and ricky came over with chocolates but saw him thru the window. i was like ugh fuck its gonna be the stupid thing where he sees this and gets the wrong idea and its gonna be a stupid wedge between him and gina that doesnt need to be there bc no one can communicate BUT THEN gina sees him outside and runs to him and i think i screamed bc i was so relieved aslkjskl but their kiss was very cinematic and cute ♥️♥️

and omg on sunday night im sitting there trudging thru s1 like "yeah starting this might've been a mistake" and by friday im bawling my eyes out bc the story is ending 💔💔 sofia deserved the whole fucking egot and a golden globe too for that scene at the end. and i was SO invested in her acting career and like pleading with the show for her not to pass on it and stay at school but fucking genius that she is found a way to do both!!!

and i honestly didnt know what i wanted miss jenn to do like i was rooting for her both ways but of course she staaayed. and the show ended and it had the "skip credits" button and my sister was like "oh there's something after the credits?" and then i saw "for good" listed at the end of the songs and i screamed again. and was bawling again when everyone was singing that. who knew this silly little show would have such a death grip on me by the end???

so over all it was really very good and not a waste of time. i liked pretty much every character and it was just a lot of fun! would definitely watch it again

my over all season ranking would be two, four, three, and one is dead ass last

my favorite characters from the start were gina, miss jenn, carlos, ashlyn, and big red lowkey alskfjdskl. kourtney got up there in s2 and beyond. and i do really like ricky, ej, seb, they're my secondary faves. (kinda wish ricky had more to do bc aside from his parents, i feel like every single one of his issues had to do with a love triangle and i just wish the character was granted a little more texture) and the camp kids were good, they were fine, they're like third-iary faves. and the only ones i dislike are gina's mom and nini lol

and i wasnt like screaming over any ships but generally i liked them all except rini. ej and gina was cute, i liked ashlyn and maddox, i liked ashlyn and big red, carlos and seb probably were my faves if i had to pick, i liked kourtney with howie (wish we saw him again) and jet, and yes by the end i was rooting for rina they just won me over this season and were super cute and im glad they ended where they did ♥️

[7ban-sama]

Hello, so, I've been following you for a while, and I think you write so well. I would actually read a fanfic of yours about those three, you know, Tsukasa, Yashiro, Hanako. My question is, what do you imagine it would be like: Nene and Hanako's first time, Hanako and Tsukasa's first time Yashiro and Tsukasa's first time and finally, the first time between the three of them? Yes, about sex itself. It's okay if you don't feel comfortable answering, but I'm genuinely curious to know how you would imagine it.

Thank you for the compliment on my writing...! I like to write, so... nice that others can regard that writing kindly. 💦 I suppose on that note, since it's relevant to your question: I've actually covered the idea of a 'first time' between all 3 in a fic before, in A heart in the right place (a collaboration between me and @2n2n💜) Feel free to check that out, if it would be of interest.

Now as for your question-! Actually... I really love thinking about 'first times'... in fact, it's really fun to try and approach it from different angles, like solving a puzzle. 'How can I make [this] particular thing happen between [them]? Hm hm hm...'

I'll try to summarize my thoughts. :3

HanaNene

The classic shoujo ship of the manga~ I honestly adore that at it's bones, you have a pair between a tragic ghost boy and a girl with her little devil horns and skull brooch. They're very sweetly designed to be 'for' one another, and I always appreciate that. I love that they're both childish and inclined to play together. There's also an awkwardness between them I find really precious, they seem soo easily overwhelmed when things get 'serious'... As if it's difficult brushing up against the intensity of how much they like each other. But before it gets serious, it has to start out kind of silly, I think...

Depending on the world, Amane is either creepily shmoozing onto her in a predatory fashion (canon, Ghost Hotel, Bakeneko Ryokan) or... he's 'shy', fussy, perhaps even avoidant (your more mundane Amanes are this I think, a spectrum between the presented identity in PP and something like Teen School Drama boy...) I feel as though Nene always has to go through a phase of, 'he's not my type', followed by 'I'm just a normal girl!' 'This is too much!' haha... She's innately charmed by him, but wary, and unsure about saying yes to... this. This isn't how any of her fantasies ever played out... (Imagined more traditional experiences ww) ; By contrast, I would say Amane is more... immediately infatuated-? Consciously attracted-?? But he doesn't, expect or prepare for deep attachment... Doesn't think it's, love, kind of, sucks, is thinking HOT GIRL... pant pant... Sure, I'll take a shot, why not... <- Bizarre amount of confidence and detachment.

Hmm, I guess actually, I see them as both not expecting to be as into the dynamic as they are, so they're unprepared (and inexperienced...) Hence, all the hesitation about committing to it being More... Subsequently, I think it takes quiet a while to get to dating, and even longer until confessions. Typically I imagine sex happening before all that actually! It may seem out of order, but something sexual is easier to access than deeply working out feelings... 'One thing leads to another.'

For first times specifically, I am,, naturally, inclined, to think about it being noncon-!! !! !! OTL💦 In some manner...!

(... in my defense, the manga harasses me into thinking about it...

This is bullying-!! I'm being bullied.💔)

... but in all seriousness... u.u; That's really how I picture it happening... The cocktail of Amane's instability, possessiveness, forcefulness, leads to something snapping inside. Amane... he can't help but being a bit of a ticking time bomb. He has rabies (dormant.) And his urges are often being coaxed and encouraged by Nene, even. Actually, I really like when things start consensual, then devolves into rape. 9.9 Paradoxically.

To be more specific... Imagine something set relatively early in the manga, amidst the first couple volumes. Nene proposes, a bit clumsily, something like — practice kissing. For fun-! Nothing too 'serious', so. Amane can be agreeable, smiling about it, maybe even half-lidded. "Ohhh... Yashiro, you wanna do that~? Haha." [she baps him for teasing]

They do this a couple times... Both are feeling, more doki-doki about it than they'd expect, but with different responses to that. Nene is kind of like, twirling her hair, writing diary entries cutely at home about it... Amane is feeling wary, on edge. (Doesn't like feeling passion, because the last time that happened...🔪) He wouldn't let on his concerns though, just be normal silly ghost guy, deflecting. Out of Nene's periphery, she could watch as he clutches the edge of his clothes, fist shaking. Nene sees that as a victory though, like, ah he's! Nervous, Hanako-kun, he likes this... *mind wanders, imagine he wants to touch her more during!* huehueuee.... hehe!

So naturally, Nene so-kindly offers that he rest his hands on her, if he wants, he, doesn't have to keep them to himself. >> Maybe cheekily (but shyly) imply that they could practice... Well more things! Poses... dialogue?? Surprisingly, he doesn't take to the offer though. (Well it seems weird bc he is, known pervert ghost.) You could then imagine Nene getting a bit persistent, like... He just needs encouragement. Hanako-kun, he's surprisingly shy... But I can take the lead-! That kind of mindset.

To Amane, she feels strangely pushy, like, why does she keep trying, saying things like that, she should be more careful. I'm a, guy, ugh, Yashiro, you can't just go inviting these things, you don't know what'll happen. [guy who is a murderer voice] He feels ah, poked, prodded, goaded. ? And he kind of is... but that's scary for Amane, like-!! He's kind of all or nothing, in my mind, holding it all back or... Losing control, in a haze, brain overheated, boiling inside. Need to DO something...

So even if Nene was encouraging or even fantasizing about ~something~ happening between them, I think the inciting action is very sudden, harsh, without warning. And so it feels violating! Getting pinned down, groped, mouthed desperately... Tights shoved out of way quickly, and, by the time he drives a finger in, her mind is going blank.

Ah that's another element... I think of fingering super often as their first time! Fingering expresses something like, impatience in Amane, wanting to hurriedly shove inside! There's no time, he wants to confirm everything in tactile touch, wants to feel her warm and wet insides! Her living body-!! Raurgh... It's a lot of effort to unbuckle, unzip, get self out, and, there's a loss of control at that point that is too scary almost? I think Amane's hind brain worries about getting out his cock. (Again, it's kind of like.🔪🔪🔪)

Luckily for Amane he has a finger fetish and, I think it results in admiring other's fingers, as well as being very fixated on interfacing things with his own. Verrry stimulated by wiggling fingers inside, feeling the give of inner walls, reaching far into her. There'll be a point where he gets lost in the raw sensations of pumping in and out. As for Nene... I always think she's besieged by genuine confusion, disorientation, some fear (as she can't get away, can't push him off), then sadness (why didn't he tell me he wanted to...) Yet she is simultaneously enthralled to get to feel something so intense.

There's. [sigh.....] A joke in PP that insinuates Nene masturbates a lot... I internalize this as truth, and a part of her whole romance-obsession and, the way she goes on flights of fancy... Nene-chan is someone who has spent a lot of time ~fantasizing~... and she has imagined guys being forceful with her... For a girl who worries about being unwanted and ugly, it'd be relieving for someone to instead be so into her they MUST touch her. So it's not all bad, I think she does feel her heart pounding wildly in her chest, is amazed at how Amane holds her close. When Amane feels things... it's with crazy intensity! Something you never see on anyone else! So that's incredible to witness...

The aftermath can go any which-way, but let's say generally I think of things getting 'better' over time... Even with the fraught start. ❤

Those are generally the things I envision in canon. I like to go anywhere between V1-8, mostly focusing on things before PP & the Severance. Picture Perfect arc is like, it's own beast, so envisioning a first time occurring then has a different vibe. That being said, I have a delusion that in PP, Amane was going to finger Nene-chan at the movies. And I've thought very hard about him fingering her in the jail cell, while Nene pretends to be unconscious. 😶

Also in AUs, like mundane non-magic ones, I like to think of them going at a pretty steady pace of hanging out, flirting, getting to know each other. But then, Amane suddenly drags Nene into a closet or bathroom stall and fingers her with 0 conversation beforehand, really putting Nene through a lot emotionally wrhghfh... Even in a world where there's less extreme circumstance, I guess I envision Amane just being so bad at things like asking permission. He really would rather not. He'd prefer, taking advantage of openings. "Houdai"... *sighs*

AmaTsuka

The twins... Ooh, they are so painful for me to think about. In adoration of each other, and yet...💔 Haaa. I will be blunt, I think they have it the hardest, when it comes to consummating... The disadvantage of the incest taboo isn't negligible; it isn't an intuitive thought, to be attracted to your twin brother. Why, how? That's not how it's 'supposed' to be. I think Amane and Tsukasa both struggle to identify their feelings as romantic/sexual. Though-! I think Amane is closer to 'seeing' it, but he's also a lot more avoidant about confronting sensitive feelings like that. (Even with Nene...) So.

The result of this all is: the ultimate slow burn, taking yeeeears to remotely realize their feelings. And even if one of them does, if they don't have confidence the other reciprocates, they can't make progress...

(Looking at AUs, the lovers suicide seems STEP 1 of romance actualization. Amane needs to, reach his limit EXPLODE, take Tsukasa with him... Perhaps, do crazy things like drink his blood, eat his fingers, hold his heart in his fist.)

As you can imagine... Sex is a very far-off goal... And ah, another factor that muddies things is, I think Amane and Tsukasa both have unusual sexualities... the sort of thing you can't really put labels on. I will be blunt, I never think of them as being attracted to 'boys'... because, there's no attraction to the general concept of maleness, and they'd never like. Have a crush on some guy, ever. This is strictly an obsession with one another, and further defined by roles/inclinations of theirs. Tsukasa being very servile & masochistic, while Amane is very domineering & sadistic. Another reason why things tend to culminate in something as extreme as heart-stab. Uncontrollably into 🔪stabbing and being stabbed.💘

The prelude to this all is in childhood; many fleeting 'incidents'... Small moments where they colluded sexually, like — were both horny about something they were doing together. But that "something" could be any number of innocuous things... such as.

Chasing each other in the yard, pretending to be dinosaurs, playbiting. Rough-housing in a pool, holding each other underwater, wiggling out from each other's grasps. Laying around on the floor indoors, bicycling legs together, devolving into nudging and kicking the other. Having... a staring competition? Throwing food for the other to catch in their mouth-!? The list goes on... it gets eccentric, minuscule. Invisible. Aroused by Amane commanding you in a callous tone. Aroused by Tsukasa licking something off his fingers mindlesssly. Heart racing while Amane circles you, examines your yukata, adjusts your obi, laughs under his breath. Holding Tsukasa's mouth open to inspect the new gap from the recently lost baby tooth, seeing remnants of bloody tissue.

Mesmerized by one another. Made to feel a distant twinge of heat. Throat clenching, making it hard to talk. Blinking slowly. These physical responses are as mysterious as the instigators... Neither twin can understand it... Wouldn't it feel absurd to think anything of it? You're probably just excited to be with your brother, because you love your brother, because you're supposed to love your brother. 'The end.'

There's no way to really pursue anything they feel. It's all brief... ends as abruptly as it starts. Kind of lost between Tsukasa's cluelessness, and Amane's defensiveness. I think Tsukasa follows Amane's lead, let's him set the tone, and it's Amane that wants to dismiss things, laugh it off, explain it away. Even so, these incidents are endless little dots accumulating over their entire childhood. Building up steadily.

Another detail... I tend to HC the twins as being easily affectionate and touchy throughout most of their childhood. Comfortable to reach for the other's hand, play together, take naps, etc. Even bathing was likely very mundane, your basic skinship.

Many years spent like this! Friendly, touchy, comfortable.

As they age, there's a bit more distance... modesty. I think Amane is the one who gets rather stiff, more like 'sigh, come on...' [not looking at Tsukasa when he grabs his hand.] Sounding beleaguered, something like that... Increased tsundere, really.

(They're still very close though. Without thinking about it... anyone else would see them as quite attached.)

Noting this though because I think of Amane as suffering more from the onset of ~puberty~... Like genuinely, ah, more pervasive awareness of own arousal, struggling with getting hard over nothing. More. Debilitated. By penis. Can't let gaze linger on Tsukasa when they get dressed in the morning. Because. It's weird now. Kind of like an invisible wall is manifesting between him and Tsukasa steadily...

Tsukasa is aware of the growing distance, but... his inclinations are to presume Amane simply finds him annoying... (Despite what we see in PP, I've yet to think that 12-13 yo Tsukasa was quite so *tackle glomp*... I think yorishiro Tsukasa is his own entity, more adjacent to an excitable 3 yo Tsu. Currently think of 12 yo boy as more modest as well...) Anyways this miscommunication occurs... concurrent with Tsukasa's unconscious pining for Amane deepening, which manifests as a urgency to be useful to him in some manner. A continuation of his feelings as a child...

Going to try and explain a philosophy of mine, but. I think if the twins had sex, they wouldn't have died, so. Logically they did not, and that's why they're ghosts in canon setting. And as ghosts, I can't see AmaTsuka managing to have sex without TsuNene/3way happening first. Nene-chan provides necessary encouragement and motivation for both as they struggle with recognizing what they feel. In a lot of ways, her simple-girl outlook on things helps her go, gasp... Wait, is it, love? WHICH... THEY REALLY NEED... And unfortunately I think Amane is a tough nut to crack, he kind of needs a certain amount of pressure. A girl scolding him. (And it needs to be Amane who does something, because Tsukasa won't...)

Related to that... I usually think Amane needs to endure a bit of cucking, in some form, first, before, making his move. He needs to feel agony as Tsukasa's first kiss is with someone else. He needs to be on the brink of tears thinking about Tsukasa's virginity. We really need to cattle prod Amane until he puts his foot down. Get insane... That's... MY otouto, he's MINE, I KILLED HIM AND HE'S MINE, HE BELONGS TO ME, HE'S MY PROPERTY!!! I DECIDE WHAT HE GETS!! ! !! !! *froths*

Once you get him going though, it's— you need, look no further, he will be unstoppable. All those years, man! I think it could be as batshit as choking Tsukasa against the ground while humping him. Or like immediately facefucking him. Jerking Tsukasa off with one hand, holding his jaw in the other, crazily talking down at him. Fingering his mouth, throat, making him gag. Any number of things. Sometimes Nene-chan must watch as Tsukasa gets an agonizing overstimulating blowjob. Poor baby... *but she was instigating this & also it IS important it happens* *sits with mouth pressed in line*

Now... putting a little integrity aside... When I want to soothe my brain, I think about the Yugi somehow miraculously managing something in their childhood. (You have to just assume this is fate-altering, a new timeline emerged from it.) My favorite backdrop for childhood first times is something at Tanabata... Age 8. After running around together, laughing, holding hands... Laying in the grass, on this warm summer night. Scent plumes from your yukata collars. Sweaty... Hazy...

I think about things like, Amane being careless and just — kissing Tsukasa on impulse. Some measly thought behind it like, it'd be fun to imitate what couples do, it would be fun to watch Tsukasa react to a kiss lol, etc. Frustratingly easygoing about it, since he's not thinking hard... Tsukasa is left stunned, spellbound. He has special feefees about Tanabata and, fixates on the romantic elements more, so I think it's overwhelming for him...

Well, ig there's no reason not to include these sketches of mine.

You get the vibe. Similar to how he shmoozes Nene really, somehow... the doting, the condescending! Playfulness. Not being as serious as he ought to be.

Though at this age I don't think Amane is as encumbered as 50 yo murder-suicide ghost Hanako... So I think he can initiate more with Tsukasa. Ahhh I usually think about them either tucked behind a stall or somewhere distant from the festival, Amane hiking his yukata up and Tsukasa curious, eager to please, easily coaxed into a blowjob. Thinking so simply... it's like kissing Amane... but here.

This is probably the most innocent I can envision it... Something like this, it's more explorative, experimental. Kind of extrapolating on how they're always playing together, this can feel like another 'game'... sort of.

[blinks] I realize I can't possibly summarize AU AmaTsuka shennanies... not meangfully. I think it's. For lack of kinder terms, a lot of dumb yaoi bullshit, I don't know. AidaIro are really faffing off in those AUs... Like, I think TS Tsukasa just goes to their dorm and puts on that stupid bunny mask Amane is horny about and Amane just gets to jerk off onto him. Bakeneko Ryokan Amane is just fucking Tsukasa in the sabi space or whatever and their collars are jingling in unison. The Valentine's day devil-angel twins are just going to have SEX later as prize for Amane winning the bet. I hate it so much. Let's move on.

TsuNene

[clearing my mind...]

After those other two pairings, it kind of amuses me to say, I think TsuNene have a lot less... emotional obstacles, stopping them from getting close. But it's kind of mean, the major difference is that they're both more open, honest individuals than Amane... That's just the truth! Oh well 💔💔 At least they love him dearly so, he's not going to be left behind or anything...

I often internally describe TsuNene as a "schoolyard romance"... having chemistry the way two kindergartners would, playing in the sandbox together. Nene easily gets carried away, and so does Tsukasa! Childish, naive, silly-willies! These two are prone to getting lost in the throes of playtime, hardly stopping to second-guess much... Recent updates have really delighted me, as we finally get to see Tsukasa and Nene play together directly! Even though he's been the mysterious "villain" Nene has fleeting interactions with... They wind up playing tag, laughing while flying around, and singing together, now don't they?

⬆A dream come true for me... All the potential I see in TsuNene well exemplified here.

Of course, not to discredit the other moments they've had together... I think TsuNene is so very real in the manga! (Really, it's just that others have taken a while to acknowledge it.) I've based a lot of my writing, etc. on things like the red house arc...

I think Nene can easily find Tsukasa cute, precious, sweet and smart! She can step up and be the onee-san between them too, much like she does with 8 yo Amane as well... Meanwhile, I think Tsukasa formed a crush on Nene back here... A nice pretty girl doting on him. And she likes Amane too, ahh... They are matching!

If they spend enough time hanging out, I think it's inevitable for them to get along, really...

There are things Tsukasa lacks, like.. a kind of territorial, demanding quality. Amane pushes himself onto Nene, makes ploys for her attention, wants to be seen as cool (and he does the very same to Tsukasa, as well.) He 'puts it on', he 'works you over'... Tsukasa is the opposite; he doesn't ask anything of the other. He's not jealous... he doesn't have expectations. He's just, Tsukasa, he only thinks to respond honestly. A little kid showing you a bug, because he thinks you'll like it. I think this is disarming...!

On top of it all, there's this ethereal quality to him, as he thinks so bluntly, and isn't encumbered by what is 'acceptable'... So he will hold your face and look directly into your eyes, and say aloud what he observes you feeling. Or ask you what you're feeling, because he's curious. Or, say how he's feeling... He can be so direct. He can say he likes you, or thinks you are pretty.

It's just so direct... I think a girl could really appreciate that! While Amane is teasing, fussy, rude... it can be mysterious if Amane even likes you... With Tsukasa, no mystery! As Nene is befriending him, he would certainly seem as though he likes her... maybe just so innocently, it's hard to discern romance from it.

Basically I think in any timeline/world, Nene is destined to go through the thought process: Wait, does Tsukasa-kun like me? I had no idea... all along, is that what 'this' was? *looks back on memories* Eh- well- m-maybe that's...

... no, um. Hmm. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself...

Lol but just as well, it doesn't stop Nene from confronting how she would feel if this were the case. IF it's possible that Tsukasa likes her... then. Nene basically begins forming a sense of excitement at the prospect, deep in her heart. Her imagination runs wild... because, of course, she can't help but like him... She's deep down attracted to Amane, and I think. She is. Allured. By the concept of being courted by, twins. Multiple boys... we know Nene is weak to the idea.

Usualllyyyy, I think about them getting as far as a kiss on their own, and the idea of more is a bit intimidating... at first. But if Nene is lustful she could succeed in taking it further, really. I think, she can just, reach under that hakama, and there's no resistance. At most Tsukasa is simply ah, overwhelmed like, did not know Nene-chan liked me that much! Did not ever think about getting to do things with a girl ever! Has never... felt... desirable, in that way... That's almost like, not what he's 'for'...

As manic as he is usually, I think Tsukasa gets very 6.6 [small...] in an intimate moment like this. It's that way he gets, where he struggles to dream even about humble platonic things... All the fixation on romance as well means, kissy, touchy, is like /// wah //// so you like me that much...// //// Subsequently, Nene-chan must take the lead! But again... if she's confident enough, she can do it...

They're cute... I really just think about, her hand reaching under hakama, kimono... first grasping and feeling under the layers of clothes, heart racing. She's ah, nervous too of course... Excited though, to finally feel 'it', weouue.... Real boy... Cute boy, flustered boy! Amusingly enough I think she'd really wish to see, Tsukasa's junk directly but it's so many layers it feels, like invasive in a way she isn't confident about. So instead it's like mmh... mostly fixating on the sensations of her hand around him, the twitching she can feel.. Until it gets too much for her and she neeeeds to feel it inside. (In my mind Nene is insatiable, has almost no patience for waiting for PIV... Like ah amusingly Amane can keep her at bay from it, when she'd wish it would be sooner. COBCVK!!! NEED>....)

Dunno why but I often imagine them in doggystyle... It's a different vibe than when I picture HanaNene in it also — more clumsy! Nene on all fours, Tsukasa close up against her, clutching her... Tsukasa is more liable to slip out and need help rearranging, reaching back, being slipped in... Lose 'rhythm', struggle to focus! I also like Tsukasa struggling to stay hard... sometimes get half-chubs, fluctuating. Fffeeels good thoughhh... for both of them. They're both like >< >< ouuh.... Squeeze... He squeeze, cling to her, she nuzzles by tilting her head back against him...

By the end it's like... flop over!! Touch foreheads!! Kiss, thread fingers...!! Bwbwhuuu... Peaceful afterglow... whisper to each other about it...

... in a world where neither of them have gotten to bridge intimacy with Amane yet, it's very like... sighs together... Wish they could talk to him about it, wish they could share it with him, in some way. Though I think they could keep boning for a while before doing anything about it kfkfjh like... W-well, it's fun and good andndhfhg no reason not to.

And that's

my

thesis.

On all pairings. Houugh. [crumples up...]

I'd almost feel silly describing HanaNeneTsuka itself since, that's what I'm always posting about and drawing porn of kfkgjhsdg... [briefly imagining like, me describing the twins taking turns coming in Nene and eating her out or something...] The. It's fine. Just imagine the way all 3 of these perfectly intersect. Everyone is really really really really really into each other and they get along. Anyways there's my fanfic, as I mentioned, which is culminates in the three-! And... also this blog archiving RPs between me and my wife I've been chipping away at. Lose your mind there if you need.

OKAY thanks goodnight.

Warnings: Graphic content, unethical experiments, psychological manipulation, violence, animal cruelty, and body horror.

🌙 Name: Diana Grace Ravenscroft 🔮 Age: 33 👤 Gender: Female 🌌 Fandom: Final Fantasy VII Universe 🌟 Ship: None (focuses on professional ambition rather than personal relationships) 📅 Date of Birth: [μ] – εγλ 1974 👼 Mother: Eleanor Ravenscroft (deceased) 👹 Father: Reginald Ravenscroft (deceased) 🎭 Faceclaim: Kate Walsh

Character Overview

🌟 Diana's Persona: Diana Ravenscroft is a cold and calculating scientist whose ambition and obsession with scientific discovery drive her every decision. With a razor-sharp intellect and a clinical detachment, Diana's actions are often morally questionable, prioritizing the advancement of bioengineering and genetic manipulation over ethical concerns. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge leads her to cross increasingly dark and dangerous lines, especially in her experiments on demonic and divine genetics. Diana is methodical, disciplined, and operates with a profound belief in the necessity of her work, despite the suffering it causes.

🎭 Personality: Diana embodies the "Lawfully Evil" alignment, thriving on control and efficiency. A Virgo, INTJ personality, and 5w6 (The Investigator), she views the world through a lens of scientific rigor and unwavering dedication to her goals. Diana’s obsession with the divine and supernatural blinds her to the humanity of others, making her capable of cruelty and ethical blindness. Her ambition clouds her judgment, pushing her to justify the unethical methods she employs. She is emotionally detached, unable to connect with others, and views her subjects—people included—as tools for experimentation. Despite this cold exterior, her obsessive curiosity drives her deeper into moral decay.

💑 Relationships: Diana’s most significant relationship is with her work at Shinra Corporation, particularly her obsession with the divine and demonic blood within subjects like Bianca Moore. Her inability to form personal connections means that the only bonds she values are those that contribute to her scientific pursuits. Though she does not form romantic relationships, her emotional investment in her experiments parallels a warped attachment to the subjects, particularly those with extraordinary abilities.

⚔️ Courage in Conflict: Diana’s bravery lies not in physical battles but in her unwavering commitment to her scientific goals. Her courage is tested when she is forced to confront the consequences of her experiments, including the pain and suffering of those she uses for her research. Her resilience is evident in her ability to continue pushing boundaries even when faced with ethical dilemmas and moral opposition. Diana’s role in the conflict of the story is one of intellectual opposition to those who would challenge her, particularly those who stand in the way of her pursuit of the divine.

✨ Likes & Dislikes

Likes: Scientific discovery, bioengineering, genetic manipulation, control, pushing ethical boundaries

Dislikes: Incompetence, emotional displays, inefficiency, failure, ethical constraints

🌿 A Soul of Many Hobbies: Diana’s hobbies revolve around her intellectual pursuits. She enjoys reading academic texts on bioengineering and metaphysical studies, conducting experiments, and researching supernatural entities. She has a fascination with ancient technologies and seeks to unlock the hidden knowledge of Gaia’s forgotten histories.

Powerset Overview

💫 Powers and Abilities: Diana’s strength lies in her expertise in genetics and bioengineering. She possesses an exceptional knowledge of cellular degradation and genetic manipulation, particularly in the areas of demonic and divine entities. Her skills allow her to perform detailed biological extractions, manipulate genetic structures, and enhance or weaken the abilities of her subjects. She is also highly skilled in laboratory procedures, surgical techniques, and specimen analysis.

💔 Weaknesses: Diana’s ambition often clouds her judgment, making her prone to risky and unethical decisions that compromise her humanity. She struggles with empathy and is emotionally detached, which makes it difficult for her to connect with others or recognize the moral consequences of her actions. Her obsession with uncovering the secrets of divinity and demonic powers can lead her down reckless paths, ignoring caution in favor of discovery.

Key Moments in Diana Ravenscroft's Journey

🌠 Diana’s involvement in Shinra’s controversial Project N of the Jenova Project marks a turning point in her life. Her experiments on Bianca Moore, particularly the extraction of demonic blood, deepen her obsession with understanding divine and infernal genetics and fulls a lust to understand the secret of immortality (in hopes of curing fatal illnesses). Her work blurs the lines between ethical science and horrific cruelty, leading her to question the boundaries of scientific discovery.

Themes:

🌟 Ambition, the cost of knowledge, moral decay, the intersection of science and ethics, obsession, dehumanization, the consequences of unchecked ambition

Story: 5 out of 5 Smut: 0 out of 5

Hands down, this is my favorite fantasy read of the year!

I think, however, that the thing I loved most about The Forgotten Goddess is that it dives right into the character meetings and drama. Sure, I love a good world building and character-building story, but this one builds as the story progresses from the very first chapter. I liked that it wasn't a hundred pages of info dump before diving into the action. You get the action from the very beginning!

This book also has a little bit of everything. There's humor, there are feel-good moments, action, magical moments, and angst. Ugh, the angst!

I flipped page after page, not wanting to put the book down. And then when it was finally over, I was an emotional wreck. I have no idea how I'm gonna hold out for book 2 lol.

Now enjoy my rambling thoughts..

* Rhea flipping off Ethan in the bookstore and making him laugh has me grinning like an idiot 🤗 They only said a handful of words to each other! How am I already shipping it..? 🤔 😆

* How the hell did I not know werewolves were going to be part of this 😨

* Holy shit. She saw through his Mirage. It’s meant to be 😏 lol

* So Ethan is Hermes..

* Shit. The shifters took the girls 😒 Come on, wake up and fuck shit up!

* Well nevermind. Fucking collars.

* Oh hell yes! She still has access to her powers! 🙌🏻

* Lupo went from being a creep to a raging asshole. Big middle finger for you, my dude 🖕🏽

* Ugh.. I feel so bad for the girls 😩

* They’re saved. Oh thank god. And even unconscious, she called Hermes’ name 😏 I ship it even more now 😂

* Goddamn. She exploded out of her cuffs. Good for her. I didn’t like the whole mind violation.

* “Well, I’ll just come out and say it. Rhea, you’re an immortal goddess.” — Lmfao. Way to drop the bomb, Atlas 😂

* Her memories.. aren’t hers? 🥺

* Kind of jealous of the portlet system lol. I wish we could transport food and stuff into our homes like nothing.

* Man, Hermes does not like Flint lol.

* Four elements. You lucky duck 😏

* Flint and Rhea in the closet.. ugh. Hermes ripping the door open and being livid.. 😍

* Aww. That “almost” moment in the hallway out her apartment had me so excited. But she thinks it’s only a joke 🥺

* Oh. Oh no. The dreams are memories.. and he couldn’t feel the mate bond with her 😩

* Damien 💔

* “Turn. It. Off.” — whoa. Klaus Mikaelson flashbacks 😂

* Oohhh. That close call with Lupo had my heart pounding.

* Who the fuck was in Rhea’s apartment 🤔

* Awww. Rhea and Callie’s friendship is everything 🥰 That panic attack was starting to make me tense 😬

* Another memory? Only this time she’s a different person? And Ares smiling sadly as he tells her, “You are home. As I always remind you.” Don’t tell me they’re related 👀 😬

* Temple of Kukulcán? Now I’m having a Namor flashback from Black Panther 2 😂

* Oh. Not related. He wants her to rule with him.. No, sir. You can’t have her.

* Oh no. Achilles had to kill Patroclus 💔💔💔

* Fuckkkk. That memory of the car crash..? Brutal.

* Where the fuck did Rhea end up after Atlas put her in the portal?!

* “I found you. I’ll always find you.” — well I was supposed to stop reading for the night, but guess who’s reading one more chapter?

* ATHENA TOO?! 💔 And they think she’s a spy 😩 Wtf, man.

* “Just survive” — those words are gonna make me cry 😔

* Ohhh, fuck you, Flint! I can’t believe y’all kidnapped aunt Demi.

* Aunt Demi!!!! 🥺

* Medusa is GORGEOUS 😍

* “I’m sorry, I don’t have separate cottages for everyone.” — do I sense forced proximity? And hopefully only one bed? 😂

* One bed, one bed, one bed! 😏

* Hermes is having pervy thoughts and I’m here for it.

* Oh come on! The tension between these two is killing me 😩

* The Forgotten Goddess poem gave me chills!! And now we know who is responsible for the memory tampering 😬

* Dude, that training session got hot 🥵

* She’s gonna break her own heart and leave..? I don’t like it here anymore 😭

* They finally kissed!!!! Please don’t leave, Rhea 🥺

* Holy shit. She restored Flora 😨

* She’s his mate.. but their connection is severed. Why are you doing this to me 😩

* “Don’t you see? Not even death is strong enough to keep us apart. We have found each other a hundred times, and I’ll find you a hundred more. Across every lifetime, in any realm, my soul belongs to no one else but you.” — what the fuck are you doing to me, Rebekah?! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

* Aunt Demi..? 🥺 You- you’re with Ares?

* Ana?! Why the fuck is there so much betrayal 💔

* THEY FUCKING DIDNT!? Did his sword just pierce who I think it did?????

* We know her name. We know her name! We finally know who she is.

* More betrayal?! For fuck’s sake, man.

* Wait.. what?! It can’t end like this. I need book two asap!

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2024 Day 325

Jack In the Box/Orphan 55

“Jack In the Box”

Plot Description: After the Winchesters mourn a fallen hunter, Jack tries to right his wrongs until a dearth of angels in Heaven forces him to use his powers

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: were I a wraith, I wouldn’t stand a chance against Bobby

Who are these people?! I thought all the apocalypse world people died, but I’m glad there are people here for Mary’s memorial

Yeah, Dean’s not a public griever…and that includes in front of Sam, Cas, and Bobby

Ketch mention. They remembered he exists

I would hate to be in Jack’s shoes rn. Between the actual guilt he is feeling over Mary and the Lucifer inside his head

Oh Deeeeean. Deeeeeeeeeeean 💔😭

Heaven is, unsurprisingly, still no fan of Castiel

I’m so suspicious of Dumah right now. Is she probably doing the right thing in the greater good sense, but is she doing….not great things in the meantime? Oh yeah. She’s an Old Testament type angel, having Jack turn a dude into a pillar of salt

He’s so impressionable, and Dumah wants him to make more angels. With no actual instructions

Oh no oh no oh no….that’s disturbing. I don’t want to watch a dude have worms emerge from his skin…oh he’s in the HOSPITAL hospital

Omg the box Dean built to contain him and Michael…I hate what this has come to. Dean wants to lie to Jack about a spell that will fix his souls to get him to agree to be contained til they have everything they need…but there is no spell

I don’t blame Dumah, but she should have known better than to threaten Mary and John’s souls to Castiel

It’s so hard for the Winchesters to hide their hurt, especially when Jack is so placid. Like, yes, he SAYS he regrets what he did but…….

This is so hard to watch. Jack is still so earnest, and the boys…they seem like they hate that it’s come to this but it’s the only thing that will work

Not to make light of this scared kid trapped in this box that can and will hold anything, crying out for the people who swore to protect him, but it is feeling a little like when I had to close my bedroom door with Meg on the outside so I could hang some lights in peace and she meowed incessantly from the other side of the door

The sheer amount of betrayal in this one episode

Oh!! Is he going to burn through the Ma’lak box?! Oh this backfired on the Winchesters BIG TIME. I was thinking earlier about how this season, the penultimate season, was feeling a little disjointed and even anticlimactic since Michael was vanquished, but having to go up against Jack who has been manipulated and betrayed so much. I’m excited for the season finale

“Orphan 55”

Plot Description: A luxury holiday on an alien planet beckons for the Doctor and friends. But their stay at Tranquility Spa becomes a fight for survival against terrifying monsters

The welcome is giving Fantasy Island and specifically the reboot

Already things are going wrong?!?! Both behind the scenes of the spa and with Ryan

Why is the spa under attack?!

They were not joking when they said terrifying monsters

Oh cool. They built the spa in a place where they REALLY shouldn’t have…even the atmosphere isn’t compatible. So of course the indigenous population doesn’t want them there

I was wondering why the episode was called that. It’s the name of the planet they’re on. It’s a planet that’s become too toxic for life but this species adapted

Awkwardly ace Doctor strikes again. She could not recognize that Ryan and that girl were…maybe flirting is the wrong word but getting to know each other because they’re both interested

Oh I don’t think Benni and this lady will be getting married, even though they came all this way for him

Touya would be disappointed to hear this from me, but if I felt abandoned by a parent, I don’t think my go to would be “go undercover and try to kill them while burning their work to the ground.” I would take less drastic routes, but the girl Ryan was chatting up should definitely have fun traumatizing her mom (the spa owner) back

Orphan 55 is Earth?! I don’t know how I didn’t see that coming

The old lady sacrificed herself for the group because she couldn’t run and made them use too much oxygen 😭😭

Can people stop sacrificing themselves for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES?!

These are mutated humans…I mean, I guess I buy it, they sure are featherless bipeds

I wouldn’t blame ALL of this on Bella (the now former owner’s estranged daughter)

Oh shit! The owner didn’t die!! And she saved her daughter…kinda

This is a little bit of a heavy handed global warming lesson at the end
