"our sergeant keeps kissing us when he's drunk, how do we tell him we'd like for him to kiss us while he's sober as well." -TF 141

TF 141 x very affectionate while drunk male reader

All fluff!

Building off of my old drunk clingy reader thing..

You have too much affection for the task force in your heart for your own good. When you're sober you at least hold it off, suppress it, unsure on how your friends would think about it. At most it's an arm around the waist or shoulder. Trying to not be too affectionate in fear of making them uncomfortable. Unbeknownst to you, they absolutely live for it.

When you're drunk all that self restraint goes away, other than clinging to their side you also very much enjoy giving them little pecks all over their face.

You have Soap leaning on your front, his back connected to your chest as you turn his head around to kiss his face, smooshing his cheeks as you do so. Kissing all the way from his brow to his jaw, rubbing your cheek against his and then resting your head on his shoulder and nuzzle your head into his neck as you leave him a blushing mess.

And when you're sticking next to Gaz, your hands wrapping around him, trapping him in your embrace as you leave kisses on his cheekbones and kiss the tip of his ear. Your lips touching every surface that you can get your hands (well lips) on. Leaving kisses on his shoulders as well.

Ghost sitting facing you as you intertwine your hands with his, and slowly lift said hands to your lips, kissing each knuckle and moving up to his covered face, placing kisses where he can still feel it through the fabric of his balaclava, like his cheeks and his chin. Maybe even his ear. You can't see it but he's beat red from his face down to his neck.

Sitting on the couch together with Price, your thighs touching and you have an arm on his shoulders, you can't help but keep staring at the man and as he turns to look at you you place a small kiss in the middle of his eyebrows, moving to kiss the corner of his eyes and moving your other arm to grab his face and smoosh his cheek in to your lips and give him an audible kiss and moving your lips to kiss the corner of his mouth. Only the best for your captain.

The next day always follows you furiously apologizing to the team, hoping you didn't make them uncomfortable but they always brush it off, always assuring you that it was fine and they don't mind it. They don't mind it at all, in fact, they're patiently waiting for the day you'll kiss them without having the help of alcohol.

The sun shone brightly over Guri, leaving the town in a beautiful glow. The air held a cool breeze and the warmth from the sun was just enough to heat the skin, more-or-less the day was pretty perfect.

You smiled to yourself as you hummed the last song you had heard on the radio under your breath. You were in good spirits, the weather was great, and you were on to the first client of the day. The house was very beautiful and you couldn’t help but marvel at all of the intricate botany.

The house itself looked quite modern as you walked up the little step to knock. It gave a hollow sound as you waited patiently, one of your hands in your pocket. It didn’t take long before you heard a faint, “Hold on, I’m coming!” From inside the house, the door was opened by the most beautiful woman you had ever seen and her attire - or lack there of - made your mouth go dry, “Hi, may I help you?”

You felt like your eyes were gonna pop out of your skull before you quickly shook your head and cleared your throat, recovering your professional demeanor, “Hi, yes, Miss Park?” The woman nodded and it finally clicked that your client was the Park Jihyo, “Hi, I’m Y/N from Palace Pool Cleaners. We have you scheduled for a pool cleaning this morning.”

It took all of your willpower to not look down since the woman before you was the subject of a very long standing crush and she was currently dressed in a very revealing bikini that was barely covered by a white dress shirt. “Oh goodness, you’re right. My apologies, it completely slipped my mind. I was actually about to lounge by the pool myself, it won’t interfere with your work will it?”

You shook your head, it wasn’t uncommon for clients to be out while you worked. Guaranteed most of your clients weren’t insanely attractive women who had been the object of your affection, but you needed to keep this professional. You couldn’t risk losing your job over a stupid crush, “Not at all, Miss Park. Depending on how much debris is in the pool and all the other little nuances I need to check up on for maintenance reasons. I should be out of here in two hours.”

The brunette smiled as she looked you up and down, you couldn’t help but stiffen your stance slightly as you flexed. Secretly hoping to attract such a gorgeous woman - you were only human after all. “Take all the time you need.”

With that, you gave a curt nod to not embarrass yourself any further, “Thank you, let me grab my supplies from the truck and I’ll get started. Is there a side gate I could use to access the backyard so I’m not lugging everything through your house?”

“Yeah, it’s to the right of the garage there’s a gate, it unlocks from the back so just reach over and it leads straight to the pool.” You nodded in thanks as you turned to leave. “One more thing,” you turned back around to see that the dress shirt had fallen down one of Jihyo’s shoulders and was now exposing a good amount of her cleavage that you fought not to gawk at, “you’re new aren’t you?” You nodded as you responded with a ‘yes’, making the brunette giggle, “I just wanted to say you are a lot easier on the eyes than my last pool cleaner.” You could barely believe your ears as Jihyo left you with a wink and disappeared back into her house.

How strange.

You finally let out a breath you didn’t know you had been holding as Jihyo closed the door, the front of your shorts felt uncomfortably tight as you turned to go back to your truck and grab the supplies you needed. You couldn’t help but laugh to yourself, ‘Fucking shit. I feel like I’m living in a bad porno.’

-

Once you had gathered everything you needed to get started with the cleaning you made your way to the backyard, through the gate that Jihyo had mentioned before and you almost stopped in your tracks at the sight. The brunette was propped up on a sun bed, sunglasses on her face and the white button down discarded. Revealing her large breasts that were barely contained by the straining fabric of her brown bikini top and the tiny bottom part that left nothing to the imagination that barely covered the woman’s slit.

You could faintly see the marks of an old tan line that she was probably working on getting rid of. Jihyo didn’t seem to pay any attention to you as you went to work as usual. you set your supplies down a little ways from the edge of the pool as you began assembling the pool skimmer. Screwing together the poll and attaching the net to the end as you dipped it onto the surface of the water and began collecting the stray leaves and occasional bug.

You hummed to yourself as you got lost in the monotony of your work - it wasn’t that you hated your job, you actually loved it, it was just simple and didn’t require much thinking after enough repetitions. The pool was a fairly decent size but wasn’t large enough that it took too much effort to get through. After you had skimmed the entirety of the pool you emptied the net into a trash bag you set off to the side and picked up the pool vacuum you had brought with you.

Thankfully, this pool didn’t have an algae problem as the low hum of the motor whirred to life as you plunged it beneath the surface and once again started your methodical walk around the pool’s edge. Making sure to cover every square inch so you wouldn’t have to do it over. The sun began to beat down, the temperature had risen to 86°F (30°C) and without the coverage of clouds or a breeze, you were beginning to sweat.

Once you finally made it all the way around you pulled out the vacuum and switched off the motor, sighing as you reached for the bottom hem of your shirt and pulled it off. You were wearing a black sports bra that covered everything but a low whistle suddenly reeled your mind back into the present as you remembered that you had an audience. You turned to face the woman still lounging in the pool chair, she had shed the white button down and was left in the skimpy bikini, your eyes wandered the the swell of her massive breasts as you bit your lip.

You were trying in vain to reign in your raging hormones as you felt your dick grow half-hard. But it was confined by your boxers and the lining of your swim trunks…for now.

The brunette had noticed your gaze as she chuckled slightly, “You can keep staring, jagi. I don’t mind.” Jihyo smirked as she pushed her chest out further, “I’m very proud of my body.”

You swallowed hard as you cleared your throat, suddenly feeling brave enough to flirt back, “My apologies, I was staring at your heart, but your boobs seem to be getting in the way.”

The singer was a little surprised by the fact that you had willingly matched her energy, “Funny and good looking, a very dangerous combo.”

You smiled as you headed back to your truck briefly to retrieve the bag of pool salt you needed to restore the correct ph levels in the pool. As you came back in, you noticed Jihyo staring as your muscles bunched slightly under the weight of the bag as you carried it over your right shoulder. Once you got back to the edge of the pool you set down the bag with the side of it facing the pool as you retrieved the box cutter from your pocket and created a small triangle at the bottom of the bag as the salt began spilling out.

After all the salt had been emptied out, you crumpled up the bag and stuffed it into the trash. Tying the elastic strings to keep it closed and everything you had taken out of the pool or used stayed in it. you were finally done and you went through without any more embarrassing incidents other than flirting back a little with the beautiful woman.

You made the short walk to where Jihyo was still lounging and stopped a safe distance away as you cleared your throat to grab her attention. The brunette turned her head as she lifted her sunglasses to properly look at you, “Miss Park, everything is finished. I cleaned and skimmed your pool as well as added more salt into it to restabilize the ph levels. If there’s nothing else you need, I can see myself out. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!”

You wanted to heave a sigh of relief as you were able to get out your entire speech and not get distracted by the tempting pillows of softness that called to you. But before you could continue patting yourself on the back for not being a perv, Jihyo pursed her lips in thought before an idea came to mind.

She reached to the table beside her as she retrieved a bottle of sun tan oil, “Actually, there may be something you can help me with.” You nodded, “I need help applying this oil and you seem like such a nice person. I’m just trying to even out my tan lines and I can’t seem to do it properly. Would you mind doing it for me?”

You felt like your head was spinning with lust, “Yeah, I guess, I can.” The brunette’s smile was practically predatory once she heard your consent. She was finally able to set the plan she had been thinking of for the last hour and a half into motion.

“Since you’re new and all, I was hoping I could give you a better perspective on Guri. A chance to get a more…hands on experience.” As the words left Jihyo’s mouth, she released the hold she had at the front of her bikini top as she let it drop and slide off her arms.

Your eyes felt like you were going to bug out of your skull as you stared at the woman’s bare breasts. They were enormous and when she sat back on the lounge chair, they bounced slightly as they settled back into place after being jostled. You swallowed hard as all you could do was stare, “Shit, you’re beautiful.”

Jihyo giggled at the compliment as she reached down for the oil, holding up the bottle in front of you, “Care to help me, jagiya? I can’t do it properly myself.” There was a hint of a pout in her voice as you took it from her, you were very much in shock about everything that was happening as you uncapped the bottle and began drizzling the liquid onto the brunette’s chest. “That’s it, don’t be shy.”

You preened at the words that fell from the older woman’s lips as you watched the oil drip down the pillowy mountains of titty flesh. You reached a tentative hand up to rub the oil into her skin but stopped, unsure if this was what she really wanted you to do. Jihyo smirked as she grabbed your hand and placed it firmly on her breast, “Rub it in please.”

Your breath caught in your throat as you felt the pliant flesh beneath your hand. Rubbing the oil over the singer’s warm skin as you kneaded her breasts. Your movements became more bold as you chanced a pinch to her left nipple, eliciting a soft moan from your client as she pressed her chest closer to you. The tent at the front of your swim shorts was extremely obvious as the outline of your dick stood out proudly. You were painfully hard as you continued to spread the oil all over Jihyo’s chest while fondling her tits, ‘This can’t be fucking real. Whatever I did to deserve this, thank you Universe!’ You mused to yourself as you realized the brunette had been staring at you.

“Why don’t I get you now, yeah?” You quirked an eyebrow in confusion as you paused from rubbing the oil onto the older woman’s taught stomach.

“What do you mean?” Jihyo had a predatory gleam in her eyes as she urged you to stand, she followed suit as her breasts swayed with the movement.

“I think you could use some oil too. It would look just delectable on you.” Before you could speak, Jihyo poured a healthy amount into her hands and began rubbing it onto your abdomen and down your arms. The brunette bit her lip as she felt you up, her eyes drifting down to see a very obvious bulge. You followed her gaze as you suddenly felt self-conscious.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t warn you. I have a…” But before you could continue Jihyo sank to her knees as she kissed the tip of your dick beneath the swim trunks.

“Don’t apologize for who you are. Ever.” The comment was incredibly endearing as your felt your heart grow light.

‘This woman really is amazing.’

It didn’t take long for Jihyo to bring you back to the present as she hooked her fingers into the shorts, “May I?”

It was now your turn to bite your lip as you nodded, “Please.”

In a slow and practiced motion, Jihyo began pulling down your swim trunks. She hit a snag around your erect cock before she was able to get the tight material around it and was shocked to see the sheer size of it in the open. The brunette made quick work of the shorts as you stepped out of them and kicked it away, leaving the singer to stare at your impressive length. You were both long and thick making you the perfect combination as your dick flexed up to your stomach.

“Wow, you’re the biggest I’ve ever seen.” Jihyo smiled as she reached a hand up to begin stroking your cock, “You just keep getting better and better.”

You wanted to respond but your mind was a bit more preoccupied with the sight of Park Jihyo on her knees as she stroked your dick. Opting for a nod and pleased hum.

The brunette leaned forward as she placed a kiss to your balls, moving up so she could lick a long line up the underside of your shaft to the dribbling head. The slightly salty taste of your precum coated her tongue as your hand found its way into her hair, tangling her locks in between your fingers. Jihyo took the tip of your cock into her mouth and she felt a spurt of cum as you groaned at the sudden heat around you, but before she could work down more of your impressive length she felt her head jerk forward as you pulled her closer to your groin.

More cock than she could handle was suddenly filling her mouth as the head of your length hit the back of throat and she gagged. And just as quickly as you had pushed her down on your cock, you pulled her off just as fast as apologies fell from your lips. “Oh shit, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to be that rough with you, your mouth just feels really g….”

Before you could apologize further, Jihyo took you back into her mouth, but this time at her own pace. You moaned aloud as you felt her throat muscle contract as she took you all the way to the root, pulling back as she ran her tongue along the underside of your shaft. In an attempt to not choke the brunette a second time, you refrained from pulling at her hair as you carded your fingers through it instead. Thrusting forward every so often to chase the warmth that was being pulled off of you.

The head of your dick began leaking in a steady stream as you felt the coil in your abdomen tighten at how close you were to cumming. you let out a guttural moan, “Of fuck, Jihyo-ssi, I’m gonna cum.”

But just as the words left your mouth, the brunette completely pulled off of your length as a few ropes of cum shot out onto the singer’s face. You groaned as your balls clenched but you were left completely unsatisfied without any further stimulation, causing the tightening in your stomach to worsen. “Wh..what the h…hell?”

The ruined orgasm was borderline painful as your abdominal muscles grew taught but there was nothing else to combat the intense feeling. You groaned as you looked down to see your shaft even harder than before as it still rested stiffly against your stomach. But your heart seemed to stop at the view before you, Park Jihyo with lines of your cum on her face. She wore a very proud smirk as you panted, “I’m sorry, Y/N-ah, did that hurt?”

The brunette’s voice was full of false sympathy as she mocked you, which in turn pissed you off further. You growled lowly as you gripped her hair in your fist and pulled Jihyo to stand, still using her hair to guide the forceful movements as you brought her close to your face. “You must think you’re so clever. You’re gonna pay for that, sweetheart.”

Jihyo stared up to meet your eyes, accepting the challenge. “Oh, I’d love to see you try.” You pulled her into a rough kiss, void of the sweetness she had expected from you as teeth clashed and tongues wrestled for dominance. And Jihyo had to admit, she had never been more turned on in her life.

No matter what she threw at you, you gave it back to her ten fold, which was how she found herself hovering over your mouth. Her bikini bottoms completely soaked through, but you didn’t even bother to remove them as you pulled them to the side and licked a strip up the center of her pussy. Jihyo moaned at the feeling as she pressed lower trying to get more friction against her weeping folds.

You were arguably too horny to tease and you were quickly getting over your anger due to the ruined orgasm since the taste of the brunette on your tongue was just too enticing to abstain from. It had a sweet yet tangy flavor that you couldn’t get enough of as you ran the flat of your tongue almost to her clit, but stopped at the second, you weren’t letting her off the hook that easily.

But Jihyo was quick with her wits as she bucked forward trying to feel more of your tongue, “How about I give you a true taste of Guri?”

You laughed slightly, “Are you always this cheesy when you’re having sex or is this just for my benefit?” You didn’t give her a chance to respond as your tongue teased at her entrance, taking in more of her leaking arousal. But before you could dive deeper into the singer’s depths you pulled away to place a kiss to her inner thigh, “But, ever since I’ve gotten here, I feel like I’m living in a poorly written porn script.”

To her benefit, Jihyo had the humility to laugh as a genuine smile broke out onto her lips. “Well I’m disappointed that my seduction came off as poorly written porn. Was it really that bad?”

“To be fair, when you wanted me to touch your boobs you phrased it as a ‘hands on experience’.” You chuckled as you craned your neck to suck on her clit briefly, “I’ll give you the benefit of a doubt that it came off as cheesy rather than poorly written porn.”

Jihyo hummed as she lost focus on the conversation as she relished in the feeling of her clit getting the attention it so desperately craved, “I can accept that. But can we save the pillow talk for after, I think there are more pressing matters at the moment.”

You chuckled as you kissed her clit, “I agree. Why don’t you ride me, jagi, I want to see those beautiful tits bounce for me. Least you could do since you spilled oil all over me.”

The brunette smirked as she wiggled her way out of her bikini bottoms so that the two were completely naked, “I can definitely get on top of that idea and get on top of you as well.”

You both laughed out loud but your laughing ceased as Jihyo sank down on your cock. The feeling of being stretched open made the singer moan loudly as the rippling heat around your dick made you groan as one of your hands shot to hold onto Jihyo’s hip, guiding her down till you bottomed out inside of her. She breathed through her nose as she felt her inner walls adjust to the stretch, it had been awhile since she had been with anyone and her fingers were never this thick or this deep inside of her.

The brunette let out a breath she didn’t know she’d been holding as she slowly began to rise up from atop of your cock till only the tip remained inside of her then dropped down. Eliciting a moan from both of you as pleasure crawled up your spines. Jihyo bounced on your lap as your dick had enough curve to it to rub against the spot inside of her that made her see stars when she pulled out at just the right angle. Your eyes were transfixed on her wobbling tits as an unashamed look of lust adorned your face.

You even reached the hand that hadn’t found purchase on the brunette’s hip to continue squeezing and teasing her breasts. “Shit, just like that, good girl. You’re taking me so well.”

Jihyo’s breathing came out in clipped pants as she moved faster, the sound of her skin slapping against your’s made her blush as loud moans fell from her mouth. “God, only for you. You're filling me up so much.”

The singer sounded breathless as she began adding in the occasional rock of her hips to elicit more pleasure against her clit. You groaned beneath her as the hot and tight walls of Jihyo’s pussy gripped your shaft firmly, massaging it in a way that sent your head spinning. Everything felt amazing and the fact that you were even more pent up from the very unsatisfying release from before didn’t help. You felt dangerously close to the edge as you began thrusting up to meet Jihyo’s hips.

“Fucking shit, I’m so close, I’m gonna cum!” Your voice was strained as the idol’s inner walls tightened even more around you. There was only so much more of this that you could take before you were at the end of your wits.

“Cum inside, I’m on the pill. I’m almost there!” Jihyo’s voice raised an octave as her thrusts became a blur of short up and down movements. Not wanting to part from you for long as she reached a hand down to rub at her clit.

The sight of the woman atop you: riding you, touching herself, and her gigantic tits bouncing was enough to send you careening over the edge as you choked on a moan before feeling your abdomen contract and your balls tighten. Ropes of your cum shot deep inside of Jihyo as the feeling triggered the singer’s orgasm in turn and caused her walls to clench rhythmically around your cock.

Jihyo finally let out the scream she had been suppressing as she tilted her head back up to the sky as she came. Her release squirted out onto you ever so slightly as she felt your hot load in her womb. She sighed as her walls gave one final squeeze to your shaft after she had milked you for all you were worth. Jihyo looked down to see that your eyes had closed and a blissful smile graced your lips. She could tell you were awake, but barely.

That’s when her exhaustion seemed to hit her as well, she didn’t bother moving too much as she leaned forward to rest her body atop of yours. She could feel your dick softening a little inside of her as she placed lazy kisses on your neck, “That was amazing.”

You had started tracing random patterns on her naked back that she found oddly soothing, “I think amazing might be an understatement.”

-

Finally, you two broke the scene that the two of you had built as you wrapped your arms around your girlfriend. Placing a kiss to the crown of her head, “Thank you for doing this with me. I know a scene like this was a little weird.”

Jihyo grinned as she cuddled closer to you, “I’m glad you enjoyed yourself, jagiya. I haven’t cum that hard in a long time”

You laughed slightly before a yawn cut you off, “Tell me about it. You even squirted!” The idol could practically feel the smug smile on your face as she rolled her eyes.

“Don’t get too full of yourself, Y/N-ah.” Jihyo yawned as she felt her eyes start to droop, “I’m gonna nap for a little, the whole thing really tired me out. I love you, jagi.”

You smiled as you pulled your girlfriend as close to you as humanly possible, “I love you too, Jihyo-ah.”

roope jani water and power plot ?? tell..

YAHHH OKAY SO i was reading this wip during the niners game when it was psychologically taxing in the second quarter, and thrillingly it is a) still a banger and b) at the climax. i just don't know...where to go next....because i blew up my outline...so i'm gonna talk about it and maybe i figure out an ending lol. anyway, about oh god at least a year and a half ago i ran a little in-house "you donate money to a charity of your choice and i will write you fic" and theo donated a very generous amount of money and for their generosity i have taken a million years to complete the fic.

the conceit is roope is trans and yk we do a lot of handwaving in this universe, but he is as stealth as I could reasonably pull off, and the whole fic is his like...journey of accepting that his life is not one thing or another, it's both.

in the fic, his queer self and his hockey self are very segmented, and he never lets like his queer friends mix with his hockey life and only two people (miro and sebastian) in his hockey world know that he's trans and it's NOT bc he told them. local man is not out and proud. (again. so much handwaving. everyone who reads this fic will need to engage in extreme acts of suspension of disbelief.) ANYWAY so he's like Totally Handling It Well ofc like it's soooo normal that you're getting thrown around by mean bisexual butches in the offseason to get your needs met roope don't even worry about it. but then jani comes to the team and he blows the door wide the fuck open. because he's so into roope and so OBVIOUSLY AND PUBLICLY into roope and roope chafes against it bc he thinks he's not allowed to be queer and a hockey player!! how can jani just be open like that!!! (which i worry a lot that i'm putting north american expectations of being closeted on a finnish player lol but it's not like the nhl is a shining example of inclusitivity and diversity so even if i have a horribly american read on it, it's still the nhl and the nhl still sucks. so.) and ofc he does eventually go on his little journey of like...starting to allow himself to feel gay feelings about jani BUT critically, it takes him a severe moment of recognition of the self through [player redacted for spoilers] before he can even conceive about moving forward into ANY kind of non-platonic relationship with jani as a queertrans hockey player.

the whole thing is very like...i hesitate to call it self-loathing, bc it's not that he hates himself, but that he thinks he can't have both selves in one space, that his hockey self can't also hold his queer self. and it takes a) jani (cis gay) and b) more importantly a fellow queertrans player to say, look, you don't have to be in pride parades, you don't have to write a players tribune article, you don't have to tell anyone in a big group discussion, but you HAVE to exist comfortably in your body in the spaces you belong in, the spaces you know you own, hockey, queer, anything. you cannot hold two parts of yourself, you have to marry them. and you have to know that by being yk roope mfing hintz, you're welcome in this locker room, both because of and despite your queerness. (also bc miro WILL refuse to pass the puck if people don't get on board.) like you don't have to do shit about coming out but you DO have to know that these spaces, though they may be quiet and sometimes unkind, still have people who will hold you bc there are people who ARE like you.

and even though i started writing this pre-duchene and have simply refused to acknowledge any change in the timeline (GURY AND KIVI ARE STILL IN IT 😭), it is still designed to be a very hopeful fic. i'm like 10k in. the end is in sight. can i finish it before the end of february. perhaps

anyway here is a snippet i think i have shared before but hopefully it's been long enough that no one remembers also i have possibly edited it since then. also pls know that in this fic roope speaks almost exclusively in nature metaphors bc i am at all times wrestling with how roope expresses himself in human language.

None of his teammates in Finland, including the national team, knew except Sepe, because he was Roope’s best friend. He hadn’t even wanted to tell Sepe, to be honest, but Sepe was too smart to hide things from and knew Roope too well. It happened one night when they’d been sitting in their shared hotel room in Helsinki after a regional practice. They were 14 and 15. Their stomachs were full of McDonalds and they were laughing on Sepe’s bed as they looked up American swear words and ran them through Google translate to find out what they meant. Sepe typed carefully in Finnish on Roope’s phone, Roope, I know you’re transgender. He ran it through Google translate to translate to English like it was a game, and handed the phone to Roope. Roope felt sick when he read it, limbs frozen. He wanted to run, then hide, then quit hockey forever and ever and go home to Tampere and go to school to learn about construction or farming. No one was supposed to ever know. No one was supposed to ever find out. It would break everything in his hockey life that he’d been working towards, everything he’d wanted since the first time he’d hit a puck into a net, if anyone knew. But Sepe wrapped both arms around Roope before he could run. He rested his chin on Roope’s shoulder. “It’s okay,” he said quietly. “I just wanted to tell you I know. I won’t tell anyone. You can count on me.” Roope still felt like throwing up. “How? How do I know?” Sepe hugged him tight. Roope collapsed against him, too afraid of the future to do anything other than take the affection Sepe offered him. “I would kill anyone who would make your life worse,” he said. “I would give up being drafted to the NHL to keep you safe.” “No, you wouldn’t,” said Roope. He wasn’t sure if he was breathing too much or not enough. “You wouldn’t give up the NHL for me.” Sepe hugged him so tightly Roope felt it in his chest, under his binder. “Yes, I would,” he said. “I would do anything for you. You’re my favorite friend.” They sat for a long time together until Roope’s breathing was normal. “I would push all the snow off the ice on every lake for you,” said Roope finally. “I would make your blades sharp so they sing.” Sepe laughed. “Yeah,” he said. “I know.”

Yeah, the rescue/escape from Xizor's "castle" (why in gods name are we calling things castles?) is pretty well done, if with moments that are cinematic in a not-good way. (Mostly Guri randomly wanting to fight Luke, though the droids flying the Falcon is a little overly silly.)

After that, it's back downhill. Partly because people have started teleporting again (I hate that) and partly because the protagonists have ridiculous amounts of plot armor so they can survive Xizor ridiculously having his own navy. Because of course he does.

And then, in the end, its Vader who saves them and destroys Xizor. Which feels more like a cheat than it should. (Though it's written such that Xizor could have escaped. Maybe that's what irritates me about it.)

And then, in the end, we're ready for the beginning of Return of the Jedi. Which would be fine if the book were better.

Moral of the story: when you write a book, the things in it should make sense. This book violates that repeatedly. We don't even ever get an explanation of why Boba Fett didn't go straight to Jabba's palace. People just...do stuff. So there can be a plot. And somehow almost all of the bits that tie into the movies undercut them somehow.

All in, a disappointing read. And one that didn't even answer what Dash Rendar would be like in the hands of another writer since he was barely in the book even when he was in the book.

In the hands of another writer, he's a complete nonentity?

Bah.

[stitched-mouth-vs-the-world]

Maybe now is a terrible time to say I am now writing for Yandere Simulator characters, but whatever.

I don’t support Alex’s actions and am not fond of him in the slightest. I’ve always thought he had major pedo vibes and whilst he didn’t actually touch a kid, I don’t doubt he hasn’t dreamt about it or even possibly done it and not been caught…

I think Yandere Simulator started out as Alex’s fetishisation of teenage girls, the game very much so feels gears to men who are attracted to barely legal girls, even though I imagine the majority players who are interested in completing the game (IF it’s ever finished) are women.

But it was absolutely started to sexualise underage girls.

So when I say I write for the characters, I mean only in SFW ways. I will not be writing for any of the students in a nsfw way because they are all children to me. I think Alex has said before they are all 18… but come on, majority of them are 16/17. He clearly only said that as an excuse for the sexualisation.

I think the only 18 year olds in the game are Ayano and Megami. And I’m just guessing here, based on personality. But even so, I won’t be writing nsfw for them because I don’t know for sure they are 18+ and I’m not interested in attracting any pervs who play the game.

I will be writing smut for the Guidance counsellor though, can’t stop me.

Also, a few years ago I write a slightly nsfw work for Info-Chan. I’ve decided now that that’s problematic and will not be doing that again. I know we don’t know her age or if she’s a student for sure but I don’t care. I’m not writing smut for someone unless I know for sure they are 18+.

So the students will only be writing SFW for are:

• Ayano Aishi (Yandere-Chan)

• Ryoba Aishi (Student) (Yandere-Chan’s Mother)

• Megami Saikou (Student Council President, 10th Rival)

• Kuroko Kamenaga (Student Council Vice President)

• Shiromi Torayoshi (Student Council Treasurer)

• Info-Chan

• Uekiya Engeika (Garden Club Leader)

• Oka Ruto (Occult Club Leader, 4th Rival)

• Budo Mastua (Martial Art’s Club Leader)

• Miyuji Shan (Light Music Club Leader)

• Kaga Kusha (Science Club Leader)

• Midori Guri (Green Green)

• Homo Kurusu (Science Club’s Roboticist)

• Mutsumi Rokuda (Bully Leader)

• Honami Hodoshima (80s School Librarian)

• Kencho Saikou (Megami’s Brother)

So these are the characters I will write nsfw for:

• Genka Kunahito (Guidance Counsellor)

• Ryoba Aishi (Adult) (Yandere’s Mother)

• The Yakuza

• Mae Kunahito (80s Guidance Counsellor / Genka Kunahito’ Mother)

Don’t think for one second I’m posting positively about Yandere Sim to show support for Alex. I hope he drowns in pedo allegations because I’m convinced he’s done more than just inappropriate convos with minors.

In case you didn’t follow my previous blog, I’m quite strict when it comes to relationships with minors. I don’t interact with them nor do write smut about them. I also don’t age up characters just to sexualise them, I said that a lot on my last blog because I’m apart of BNHA fandom and there is so much age uping of minors just to sexualise them over there. Aging up a character just to sexualise them is just as bad as writing smut about a child.

This means I also won’t be age uping anyone in my SFW section above to write smut about them. So no, “Imagine adult Ayano’s kink—-“ requests, stop RIGHT THERE.

Alex doesn’t profit off fanfics about his characters which is why I’m so comfortable writing for them.

I’ll post a real masterlist when I’m bothered. I have so many masterlists to rewrite now, thanks Tumblr.

[dojae-huh]

hii, i have this thing where i would like to know your opinion on this thought...

So, it's always making me confused like when dojae went to dream's concert back then on sept 2022, they were the only one who brought the dreamies vitamins while actually there were taeil, sungchan, and shotaro as well in the concert.

Like why? Why only dojae who brought it?

And then the way they left the venue before the concert ends.

To me it's just sooo suspicious, like why??!

The fact that actually it was on chuseok holiday days and on the next day DY make a Q&A on his ig and there's a picture where he kinda show his blanket.

It makes me feel like HHHMMM??!!

That's why i kinda made my own conclusion that maybe Dojae really went to the concert together in one car, not with the managers or the rest of the members and maybe they stopped for a while and bought the dreamies vitamins. They left first maybe it's because they wanted to have dinner(?) and after that Jae sent Doyo to Guri to meet his parents and spend chuseok with them.

I think i'm just too delusional HAHAHA

Anyway, I really want to hear your opinion hehehehe and sorry for my bad english:(( i hope you understand what i write here :))

I was distracted in September of 2022, so I had to dig the info. I've found that is was Renjun who mentioned the vitamins.

First of all, Taeil doesn't really like to buy anything for neos. He does it sometimes, but he is nowhere close to Doyoung, so even neos excuse him.

Sungchan and Shotaro are younger members and were a late addition. They can give something as friends, but it is not expected and not obligatory. Dreamies are their sunbaes. Meanwhile JaeDo are hyungs, who must take care of their dongsaengs.

JaeDo do a lot of things together, and dreamies regularly let us know.

Jaehyun sending off or even visiting with Doyoung for Chuseok is a solid idea, because he did it in earlier years. And his closeness to one of Do's cousins proved he is welcomed by the extended family. Jae's father works in Daegu, his mother probably lives there as well. Meanwhile, Guri is much closer to Seoul, only 1 hour drive. I also think it's less safe to visit Daegu (as a couple), as there are more potential fans, and the father is a professor at a Uni, he is more noticeable himself.

So yes, driving to Guri, paying respect to Kims, spending some quality couply time in quiet parks and cafes, and then driving to Daegu to visit his own parents seems logical.

I mean, Kim mother taught Jae how to cook a dish back in trainee days, right now she has even more reason to pass on more household receipts, haha.

[hellfireconfessions]

tbh I can't take much of anything from the group perpetuating hate too seriously. guri's doc is weird as fuck but after seeing the comments ( not just vulgar, like some are trying to play it off, but truly disgusting ) from that pack that went as far as to fake images of players saying things like hf staff should be k*lled ( among other things ) or that guri should assault an animal IRL and write about it while they complain abt these docs and someone else who said the r-slur ( who's country doesn't have the historical context of hate / oppression with that word like the USA does ) is just laughable to me at this point. if they had ONLY submitted the report that would b one thing. but the slew of gross, hateful and toxic comments against several people ( even if most were focused on guri ) just prove how it was never rlly abt those docs themselves. at least not entirely. i believe the screenies of what was said was submitted much earlier on the blog by rot ?? but i habe copies i can submit too if needed. its a lot of shit -- like 30+ pieces of evidence. they were taken by other members from that pack sick of all the shit talking, gross comments / jokes and drama. and it is some gnarly shit, way more graphic than anything I read on that doc, as fucking weird as it is. and that is why most of those ppl got banned -- not bc they submitted any report, despite the story they r trying to peddle for sympathy or whatever. but bc of their own gross ass behavior that they don't wanna admit ( at least not fully bc they keep trying to severely down play their part of it ) or own up to. if they were rlly concerned they just should have submitted those report(s) and left it at that. no shit talking, no vile comments, no forging images of people saying gross or fucked up things they never said for laughs. bunniache, ashe/vaun, ej, snail, sketchy, mush, kaikyu, grell and anyone else who we don't see in those screenshots all went so far beyond what was called for; even past venting or regular shit talking. having genuine concerns and even not liking people or how they do something isn't a crime, and u can express those things maturely w/o being gross and toxic. but that isn't what happened at all. and esp knowing some of those ppl involved had been staff at one point -- while criticizing other staff members too for how they handle things after doing all that? wild.

feel free to resubmit screens or add any missing as well since its been a hot minute! i dont forgive one party's actions cause the other's were also bad

ill post em again or ppl can check archives for previous ones we can judge both sides for their actions at the same time

“oh my pookie bear!! of course i love you !!!!! how could you EVER forget that” ig*guri whined, and ellie laughed.

TF 141 x Male Reader

-----

Can't help but think of a clingy drunk reader, and the task force knows this fact about him very well. He's outright told them how his friends had complained to him abt it. Admitting that he doesn't drink much is bcuz of how he is when he gets drunk, embarrassed because "it is soo not manly"

It's not long before they start getting curious. Everytime they've went out to a bar to celebrate you always lay off, persistent on staying the sober or at least nearly sober one of the bunch.

It isn't until a special celebration did they finally see how clingy and affectionate you are. Maybe it was your birthday or they completed a tough mission but whatever it is they convinced you to drink more than your usual amount (mostly Soap egging you on but the rest were just as enthusiastic)

There they find themselves with you being all handsy to em, and only them might i add. One moment you have your whole body leaning on Soap and as he gets up to grab more drinks you move your attention to Gaz, gesturing for him to come closer to you on the worn out couch you're sitting on, encouraging him to get so close he's basically sitting on your lap.

If both of them decided to just leave you alone you'll get up from your seat and slug around looking for Ghost or Price to cling on, draping your body from behind them.

At the end of it all you're till clinging to at least one of them, not wanting to let go, it's so bad that whoever you were clinging to had to personally get you back to your room. Rolling their eyes as you whined about having to leave the rest of the crew behind.

Roope and jani fic for wip game.... 👀

@stickypucky: water and power fic ?!?!?!

i am putting on the stars-wild game to activate my stars brain so let's do this!! last year i ran a little charity fundraiser and ted very graciously donated and requested roope/jani - roope is trans and falls in love with jani. in thanks for ted's spirit of giving i am taking approximately five hundred years to write this fic. when i finish it WILL be one of the tenderest and joyfully queer fics i have ever written however until that point, i am simply looking roope hintz in the eye and going bitch can you know yourself please.....

i am two-thirds through the climax, hit 10k, and then hit another wall but i am DETERMINED to finish before the summer mostly bc ted has been waiting so long, in part bc beryl and i were spitballing a miro/robo t4t sex bets spin off for pod together but it builds on the critical jani/roope lore. and what is miro/robo but a carrot on a string that only i am marching after

a requisite boba scene, bc they go on a california roadtrip:

How it happened that Roope understood himself was this: Jani and Jason having the world’s stupidest argument after a practice in Anaheim.

It was one of those arguments that often happened in the locker room. Not the content, but the shape of it; two guys who don’t normally spend much time together deciding that today they’d become better friends by choosing the dumbest possible hill to die on and arguing about it all day. Most of the team tuned such arguments out, unless it was a funny argument and they felt they could escalate. Roope usually stayed out of it because he often didn’t care.

He wouldn’t have cared about this one either, except he caught Miro looking unusually young and wide-eyed as he stared at Jani and Jason having their idiotic argument. Miro had long since grown out of looking like that, so Roope paid attention.

“The balls,” Jason was saying. “It’s about the balls. When you roll them in your mouth, like, it’s about the consistency. They’ve gotta be firm.”

“What the fuck,” hissed Roope to Miro. Miro slammed a fist onto his knee. “Hush,” he whispered.

“No, no,” said Jani, shaking his head. His hair fell into his eyes, still wet from a sweaty California practice. He brushed it back. “You want them to have a little give.”

“What? No.” Jason took off his pads, but not his shirt. He was always the last to undress and shower. “No, you don’t, that’s gross. That’s just bad tapioca.”

“Are you arguing about boba?” Roope asked incredulously.

“Did you think it was something else?” Jani asked with a sweet smile. 

Jason laughed. “You think I want firm balls in my mouth that aren’t tapioca?”

Miro looked away, choking back a laugh. Roope punched him in the knee so he would get ahold of himself. He didn’t know what had gotten into Miro lately. Miro was straight as far as he knew. “What do I know about such things?” Roope asked.

“What do you know?” asked Jani. He looked thoughtful. “Come get boba with me.”

Roope didn’t like boba and was going to say no, but Jason lit up. “Yeah, yes,” he said. “We need an unsophisticated boba drinker to settle this argument. Miro,” he said and Miro straightened. “Come get boba with us. No, and we need a tie-breaker. Gury!” he called to the other end of the room. “Gury, you don’t like boba, right?”

Jani took them all out to get boba at a place he swore by that Jason disdained. Roope didn’t like it and gave his drink to Gury, who loved it. Then Jason made them go to a boba place he preferred and Roope was sick of boba already, so he got an egg waffle and tore it into little pieces to feed Miro and Gury while Jason and Jani argued more.

Jani stuck a fruit drink under his mouth while Roope wasn’t paying attention. “Try,” he said.

Roope gamely took a sip because Jani looked slightly crazed about it. He ended up with a jelly ball in his mouth. He grimaced and bit down. It exploded and it felt like little sparks in his mouth.

It was both unpleasant and thrilling and he wanted more. He took another sip. Jani grinned at him. The light in his eyes was back, the light that made Roope feel like there something shining down on him to give him life. “Good, right?”

“It’s okay,” said Roope, trying to press down on the feeling in his chest. “It’s strange.”

“It’s good,” said Jani. The light in his eyes was bright. “The jelly balls are the best.”

“I told you this place was better,” said Jason.

“No,” said Jani, shaking his head, and they were back to arguing again. Roope ignored them and fed another egg square to Gury.

Miro yawned. “I’m going back to the hotel. I’ll see you for dinner.”

“I’ll go with you,” said Gury. “I need a nap.”

Roope wasn’t sure if he wanted to stay or if he wanted to go. He was also tired; it had been a long practice and they had played a hard game against Los Angeles the night before. But there was something enthralling about the way Jani moved in Anaheim. It was different than how he walked around in Dallas. In Anaheim, he looked comfortable in ways he didn’t in Dallas, like he was in his element in the crisp autumn sun on a street lined with palm trees.

Roope had only ever played in Dallas and intended to only ever play in Dallas. He didn’t know what it was like to feel at home in more than one place in America and he did not want to find out. One state was enough for him to navigate; he couldn’t imagine having to think about another set of traffic laws. But Anaheim had given Jani a second chance in his North American career and it was clear Jani felt a great deal of fondness for the sun-soaked and breezy city, even after he’d left it.

Jani was a big man with a strong jaw and a handsome face. Roope could admit that much. But there was a fluidity to how he moved, not lumbering or ungainly due to his size. This was true in Dallas but he moved with more confidence in Anaheim, even something like gentility here. Roope was fascinated by it, the way the California sunshine seemed to make his shoulders broader and his back straighter. His head was high as he laughed with Jason, and it was not because he was winning the argument. It was because, Roope realized, he felt truly at home.

Something blossomed in Roope’s chest, something bright and starlit. He turned away from Jani and stuffed the rest of the egg waffle in Gury’s mouth. “I’ll go too,” he said.
