BUST THAT P★SSY OPEN !

★ infinity condom ft. gojo ! ★

˖˚₊ warnings ⋆. 𐙚 ˚ missionary, p in v, unprotected (wrap it before you tap it), failed attempt at protection, slight breeding kink.

“hn, wait...” satoru placed his pale hands on your waist, a poor attempt to stop you. “you on the pill, right ?” he breathed, waiting for a confirmation. as you shook your head sheepishly, he swallowed. “okay, just... so 'm just gonna wear a condom, alright...? you're not allergic to latex or anything ?”

“no, 'm not... you can wear a condom, 'toru...” as your sheepish, sweet voice filled his ears, satoru nodded. “okay, okay...”

the white-haired man kissed you, his soft lips brushing against yours lazily. without breaking the warm embrace, he gently pushed you down, making you lay on your back before he crawled on top of you. he slid a hand under your thin tank top, wanting to tear it off of you but also he wanted to take things slow.

his lips found your jaw, slowly gliding towards your neck. the tip of his pink tongue slid out before leaving a wet stripe of saliva on your soft skin. soon enough, he pecked the sensitive spot under your ear. “how're you feeling...?” his voice came out a little breathier than he intended to. "i'm okay, 'toru..." you whispered. “good... that's good...”

he sat on his knees, aiming to take his boxers off. he tried to appear collected but he could feel his heartbeat picking up in speed. “you okay, angel ? still wanna do it ?” your shy nod was met by a smile.

he caressed your soft thighs before spreading them. he settled between your parted legs and he slid his underwear off. as soon as his hard, leaky cock was free, it bobbed against his lower stomach.

he sighed softly before pulling your panties down and glancing at your drooling little pussy. “aw, baby...” he cooed. “you're so cute, y'know that...? already that wet and i barely even touched you.” his lips found yours again as he circled your throbbing clit with the pad of his middle finger. as he felt you clench around nothing, he chuckled against your mouth. “don't worry, you'll have something to clench around in a few minutes.”

he broke the embrace and pumped his length a few times, watching as the tip of his cock spurted some droplets of precum. his hand reached the nightstand and he opened the drawer. he rummaged in it and finally grabbed the box of condoms. he sat on his knees and opened it, only to find out that it was empty. “hey, love... is that the only box we have...?” he asked almost anxiously.

your nod caused him to groan. “shit... it's empty...” he looked at the empty box again and an idea suddenly crossed his mind.

using his infinity as a condom.

“i think i have something. you trust me, right ?” it was silly to ask, he already knew the answer. "of course i do, 'toru..." he hummed and aligned himself with you, his tip brushing against your tight entrance. he stared at his cock intently, eyebrows furrowed subconsciously. he concentrated, trying to make it work.

but for some reason, he couldn't.

after multiple unsuccessful, pitiful attempts, he sighed and hid his face in your neck. “can't do it... doesn't work...” you caressed his hair. "it's okay... it's fine." he lifted his head, understanding the not-so hidden meaning behind your words. "you sure, baby...? you don't mind me raw ?"

you smiled softly. “no. i don't care.” he let out a relieved sigh before nodding. “alright... i'm... 'm gonna take it slow, 'kay ?" as you nodded, he gently eased his way inside of your warm, soft cunnie. “shit...” his shoulders slumped as your tightness wrapped around him. “needed this, pretty girl...”

he slowly pulled back, leaving only the tip inside you before pushing all the way in again. he groaned softly, his forehead falling on your shoulder. “fuck... like how it feels, baby ? like how it feels when i go in raw ?” you mewled softly, soft pussy throbbing around his dick. “uh-huh...” you breathed.

he wanted to take things slow. had wanted to.

he began moving faster, hips slapping against yours. “fuck... feels even better without a damn condom... we should do this more often, sweet girl...” he gently nipped at your neck, leaving small love bites. "you're a naughty lil' thing, huh ? wanting me in without a condom." he chuckled breathlessly.

“gonna—” thrust. “make you—” thrust. “a—” thrust. “fucking—” thrust. “mommy.” he hummed as your pretty moan filled his senses, your knees pushing towards your chest as you arched your back. “yeah... you'd love carryin' my baby, wouldn't you ?” his lips brushed against your ear. “wouldn't you ?”

the room was filled with the sound of skin slapping against skin, along with the scent of sweat and sex. “fuck...” he breathed as your pussy pulsated around him like crazy. “angel... i'm 'boutta come... fill you with my kids.” he hissed as he grew more and more sensitive.

with a few other sloppy thrusts, you both came together. he moaned in your neck while you chewed on your swollen bottom lip. when you finally came down from your high, satoru chuckled lazily, giving you a crooked grin. “want me to fill you again ?”

based on this ask.

pls more touya soulmate au!! your tags have me dying, it’s just all so tragic 🥹🥹

isn't it !!!

and what if — it's not you that's hesitant. it's him.

(tw: domestic abuse—not from touya—and suicidal ideation ?? idk how this happened, i'm sorry LOL)

i picture you as — the child of some socialite. your mother's family has always been wealthy, been involved in — let's say — designing hero costumes. haute hero fashion, or something. your mother hosts a lot of events and parties you're expected to attend and your family is well known. elites.

you're engaged to a man everyone thinks is your soulmate — but you know he's not. not because he's only with you for your money or because he hits you, but you feel nothing for him. not even a smidgen. pity, maybe, if you had to assign a label to it. there are no sparks or butterflies in your stomach, not like there used to be; now the only drop of your gut is from his fist.

it's only because of such violence that dabi even approaches you. initially because he plans to smite your little fiancé to nothing, but the strike across your cheek is over and done with before he's able to get out of the shadows, cast with a quickness that only shows your fiancé's knack for being discrete. you're left shivering and bruised on the balcony of some fancy hotel, looking out over the skyline as the party continues without a hitch behind the french doors.

"should ice that." he rasps, still hidden, though it doesn't seem to matter; you don't even spare him a glance. "will bring down the swelling."

you hum, leaning far over the edge as your hair blows in the wind. "they won't notice," he's heard your voice, sure, but it's never been spoken to him and he hates the grip it gains on his chest. "and if they do, then they won't care."

"sounds pretty fucked to me."

at that, you laugh, slipping out of your designer heels and bunching up your designer dress so that you can climb up onto the ledge, wavering as you hold your arms out. the sight makes him sick, draws him out of the shadows with his hands into fists, sweat beginning on the back of his neck.

dabi comes to stand right behind you and — you look like some kind of angel, wrapped in the golden city lights from far below. saliva pools in his mouth because he could gag; at himself, at the worry pooling in his stomach. even a dark thought crosses his mind, one that confirms everything he's been trying to deny: would be my soulmate that killed themselves right in front of me.

"get the fuck down."

you shrug, which is awful, and you still haven't looked at him so he doesn't even know if this shit is real. maybe he's having some kind of allergic reaction or his heart is giving out finally or something. no way to tell for sure until he sees your face, until he sees whatever crosses it.

whatever you murmur gets lost in the whipping wind — but he thinks it sounds like nobody would even notice.

he grabs you so fast, arms fitting around the curve of your waist like they were made to. you're spun around to face him and he nearly loses it, wide-eyed as he watches you watch him. sure, he's seen you a dozen and a half times by now, but not this close, never this close.

the grip you have on his shoulder tightens, but he doesn't think you realize it, and the way you're cataloging him, learning him; how bad are his burns today? some days they're more swollen than others. some days they are still too fresh and his skin is peeling a little bit. some days he hasn't fully burned through and he's left with these ugly fucking scabs and—

"hello," you say quietly, smile growing, eyes soft. "there you are."

and he lets go at once, because now that this is in front of him, he realizes how much he doesn't want it. can't have it anyway, not in this life.

todoroki touya would've been your soulmate, sure. you, with your money and your social status and prominent family name. universe got that part right when you were made, when your future was being planned.

you seem unbothered by him, though, steadying yourself as your breath hitches. "didn't think you existed out there."

"i don't," he grunts, stretching out his hands to feel the pull of his skin. it hurts and it grounds him, keeps him from stopping his retreat.

too bad touya died a long time ago.

i'm also allergic to dogs and have one! this is my creature, his name is white boy.

it's mostly the shedded hair and saliva that makes my allergies act up- i'm also allergic to eagles since they produce so much down 😭. but my dog is hypoallergenic (doesn't shed), so i don't have to deal with that! but bulldogs aren't hypoallergenic at all really so i'm just assuming lewis takes allergy medicine when he's with his son.

oh hiiiiiiii puppyyyy, he’s so cute!!! 🥺🥰

hey quick question, how in the world do you figure out that you’re allergic to eagles?????

[aller-geez]

Since my fic is going to be twice as long as I thought and I’m not as cool as @thekinkyleopard with her lightning fast fic skills, I decided to give you guys a lil snippet…….

It’s the day before Remington’s 29th birthday, and he has dinner plans later that evening with Levi, as well as his sisters and their boyfriend, Biziil, and cant seem to find any clean clothes to wear out. 🥵

Please enjoy this snippet of 29: Another Year Sicker while it takes me another 4 days to write this monster of a fic (^:

The wolf had been scrounging around the bus earlier that afternoon for a change of clothes while Levi was in the shower, and stumbled upon a black plastic bag that was tied up and stuffed in the back reaches of their shared closet. In his hurry to find something usable, all common sense was thrown to the wind and his sharp nails made quick work of the plastic, tearing a large hole into the side and allowing a light blue sweater to lazily spill out onto the floor. Without finding any other options thus far, the desperate wolf peeled the sweater from the bag, and pressed it to his face, inhaling deeply through his nose for a sniff test. Instantly, the large man’s bright green eyes began to water, an intense tickle building rapidly throughout his sinuses. “What the—?” The sweater was quickly removed from his face, and suddenly the soft black and grey hairs that littered the fabric where his face once was pressed caught his attention. Too late now.

“h’tsCHH!! HIHH’ITSCHH’IEWW!” Remi sneezed openly, spraying the sweater he held out in front of him. With a suddenly wet sniffle, the wolf grumbled obscenities under his breath, throwing the sweater deep into the closet again, although that did nothing for the ever present tickle that now made itself home in the back of his nose. “Hhh..” His breath hitched, allergic tears threatening to spill over his eyelids already from the intensity. Waving one large hand in front of his face, his features remained twisted in pure helplessness as he tried to coax out the release he was denied. A few moments pass, and the stubborn itch retreated back into his nose, leaving the wolf painfully congested and desperate for the onslaught to subside. With the knuckle of his index finger pressed under his nose, Remi quickly made his way into the bathroom, where he fumbled to open the medicine cabinet on the wall, the mirror hitting the wallpaper behind it loudly as it flung open. As his thin fingers combed through the various bottles of god knows what they had in the cabinet, the burning within his nose made itself known yet again, despite his knuckle pressed against his septum. He never was any good at holding them back..

“Hhuh’IITSSCHHH’IIEW!! HUH’TSCH’UH! —TSCHH!” Each itchy sneeze continued to get messier until his hand was completely soaked in small droplets, his eyes watering so badly he could barely see. With a quick swipe, he tore off a small amount of the toilet paper that hung up on the wall beside him, and blew his uncooperative nose into it with a thick gurgle. Thankfully, it was enough to repel the intense quivering of his nostrils enough to be able to locate the familiar white and pink bottle of Benadryl that was tucked in the corner of the cabinet.

“There you are, you little shit..” Remi grumbled, fishing two pink pills from the bottle and popping them into his mouth, swallowing them with ease with just the saliva in his mouth. As the pills slid down his throat, his now bloodshot eyes flew open, realizing his terrible mistake. “Welp, I hope I bake it till the edd of didder with Biz add the girls before passigg out..” The wolf muttered to himself, his voice thick with congestion, replacing the cap on the bottle of Benadryl and sniffling wetly.

Stay tuned for the next few days when I post the entirety of my collab fic with @thekinkyleopard ,

29: Another Year Sicker

And the fic will include a bunch of photos as well ;u;

Allergy anon from earlier, I'm probably allergic to the fur specifically. I know it's usually saliva or dander and rarely it can be the fur itself that triggers allergies. My cat (all black) doesn't bother me at all but kills the two other people with cat allergies that have met him. He has ocd and cleans himself constantly so he has very little loose dander or hair but lots of saliva on his fur. Def not related to my old blue cat bc he was rescued two counties away. I'm less allergic to black and white cats than other cats, I have been able to live with one, but if he was close to my face for long I started having problems. He shed more though, so could be that. The blue cat had super soft chinchilla feeling fur like maybe he was part russian blue, which I've heard can be hypoallergenic especially for people allergic to the fur. Idk, they consistently bother me less so maybe fur specific allergies need more research and it's just the orange gene??? I get around a brown tabby and I have fifteen minutes before my throat starts closing and while the black/blue/b&w sometimes still make me a little sneezy, none have ever been life threatening.

Very possible I'm a freak of nature

Wow. Anon i'd love to study you. Are you up for human experiments? (They would mostly include trying out if different colors induce any reaction so. You probably wouldn't enjoy it 😅)

But no, jokes aside, now i'm really curious what your reaction would be to a silver cat, which is basically a tabby with the reddish pheomelanin missing. That would answer what's more important here: the nonagouti allele or the physical pigments.

I tried to search for something like your case, but all i found was a since disproved study about darker colors being more likely to cause stronger allergy symptons. Not too useful for us.

None the officially accepted cat allergens are associated with hair. (But maybe the nonagouti allele still can have some secondary effects beside the color...)

So yeah, you probably have some extremely rare allergy type. But at least you also have your personal hypoallergenic cats!

Baby and Toddler Nagito Headcanons

He was a miracle baby for both of his parents. Be it because of fertility problems or complications that happened during birth. Perhaps it was both.

When he was first born, there was fear that he may have been a stillborn because it took him a long time to take his first ever breath.

Thankfully, he wasn't. His small little cry into the world bringing relief and happiness crashing all at once

He's a quiet crier. He rarely cries even when he needs something, and when he does it's usually quite quiet and merely whimpers.

This made it hard for his caretakers to meet his needs when they're too far away. Which is bad as usually, just two rooms away is far enough to miss his cries, especially if the doors are closed

It would've been quite easy to neglect his needs as a baby if one wasn't giving him enough special attention (And who knows if he was lucky?)

He craves and thrives on physical touch and affection

He has trouble sleeping if he's not being held or cradled. Though he's quiet even when he desperately need sleep

When he's hungry, he usually just gets pouty. Sucking on his thumb if he can't find his milk. His pouting face would be pretty cute if it wasn't hard to tell if he's normal-hungry or actual-starving

Overly sweet things tend to upset his stomach, so feeding him sweet things is a surefire way to get vomited on.

Which is bad because he gets extremely fussy and upset when he's dirty. Wriggling and whining in discomfort until he's clean again.

He also gets like this when he needs a diaper change. So cleanliness is usually the easiest need to fulfill for him, seeing at how easily he get upset with it

He tends to get skin rashes too :(

Oddly enough, dog saliva and slobber doesn't bother him at all

He's not allergic to dogs nor cats. His nose gets a bit itchy from pollen but it's not terrible. Dust though? It's not something he adores

Even though he can be quiet crier and fussy, Nagito is still a little bundle of joy

While his cries may be quiet, his laughter is loud and lively. Filled to the brim with joy and happiness as he waves his little arms around in his excitement

He's quite ticklish. Especially his feet. Even little touches is enough to send him reeling in squeaky delight. Do try not to abuse it even if it's tempting 

And did I ever tell you about his baby hair? No?Well, his little tuffs of hair is cute and curly. Little pops of caramel brown on his cute little chubby face

He's a healthy chubby kid

His first words was "Puppy!"

His father was devastated

He thought his son would've called him "Papa"

The family dog, Lucky, tends to stay around the little baby. Licking him affectionately and allowing him to play with his fur

He can always be seen giggling and smiling when Lucky is around

Lucky is a big golden retriever that he could practically swallow baby Nagito if he wanted to. But the little baby is never afraid

If he hadn't fallen asleep in his crib or in his caretakers' arms, he can usually be found napping on Lucky. The two sleeping together on the floor peacefully. The little one practically disappearing in the other's overwhelming golden-brown fluff

There was a few times he would suck on his thumb or lick his entire hand before touching his caretaker's cheeks with slobber-covered hands, smudging it all around his face as he giggles in delight.

Sometimes he would mimic dog sounds. "Yip! Yip! Yip!!! Woof woof woof!!!!"

When he started crawling, he tended to crawl alongside Lucky.

He would even sit like Lucky before asking for uppsies with his little grabby hands. "Uppsies! Uppsies! Yippsies!"

Even as a baby, he's an avid reader. He would take all the books he can get his crummy hands on and try to pronounce all the words he reads outloud

He's a very talkative baby even when his cries aren't loud. He loves talking to others and learning new words. Ever curious about the world

If he's ever dexterous enough, he probably took apart a few toys during his time. Curious to see how it works and what kinds of parts make it up. The broken cars and squeakless squeaky toys and headless dolls and limbless action figures probably says enough

He's very quick to learn how to talk and read after awhile with how many books he reads and how much he talks

Anything he makes with blocks or legos tend to fall apart before he's finished. It makes him sad. Oddly enough, if Lucky finishes the build for him it never falls. It makes him smile happily

(It's quite odd to see a dog toy finish off a block castle. But it makes him happy, so be it)

He loves ribbons. He finds them pretty. They make cute little bows that look pretty. And dolls that have ribbons are pretty. If they're pretty on dolls would it be pretty on him? He would find the way the ribbon moves in the air also very pretty, especially if he saw how you can make a ribbon dance.

He would be pretty happy if you let him play with your hair or his hair. He also finds people hair pretty. If he was old and dexterous enough, he would probably like to learn how to braid someone's hair and do the same to him

ROUND 3, MATCH 1

Propaganda under the cut!

Sam Wayne

Propaganda

Sam Wayne is a possessive stalker of a ghost who reeks of rotting meat and leaves puddles of yellow, bloody pus wherever he stands too long. He has alluded to wanting the PC to only ever be with him and that their relationships with any of the other characters are meaningless in comparison to the one they "share". Is always watching the PC and disregards their constant requests to stop, including while they sleep and shower. Regards any decision they make that does align with his own as "very foolish". And even though it was when he was actually still alive....Wayne is TECHNICALLY your cousin Tabitha's ex and she gets really upset if you ask her permission to date her undead "sloppy seconds" lol

Jumin Han

Propaganda

manipulative and abusive asshole

He's a stuck up trust fund baby, and won't take no for an answer. His route is objectively the WORST

He is in love with his cat and constantly compares you with the damn cat😭 like an actual fucking feline animal that’s not nickname 😭😭😭

unapologetic member of the bourgeoisie. makes his secretary cut her hair and wear glasses so he can take her seriously. 0/10 hate this man so much it has been 7 years since i first set eyes on him and to this day i have carried this with me in silence. my hatred for this man has been my burden. my old mysme mutuals will never know.

ok so fun fact when i tried to play jumin’s route i hated it so fucking much i abandoned ship on day 7. this is a grown ass man who is far too immature (and has too much money) to be romanceable like can he see a therapist first? i’m not his therapist. i’m not. i’m not his cat either. why are you locking me in your penthouse does this LOOK like amnesia: memories. also i hate that in order to gain favor ability you have to act like a jerk to other characters at times and also i love jaehee (his secretary that he makes do Fucking Everything For Him) too much to want to date him romantically. imo he’s a great character in other routes, but in his own it’s just…. :/ . did i mention i hate the whole “getting locked in his house” thing. 

he makes jaehee do so much shit that is WAAAAYYY outside the scope of her job description???? she’s his personal assistant. he makes her take care of his personal — completely unrelated to the company— projects related to cats, makes her watch his pet cat at HER APARTMENT OUTSIDE OF WORK HOURS (as far as i can tell he didnt pay her extra for that, though she does get paid overtime) which is so wildly entitled of him to do, but he’s a rich man so. in every route except for jaehee’s and his own— in jaehee’s she quits altogether and in jumin’s she gets a long awaited and well deserved vacation— he piles her with so much more work than is reasonable. for example: in another story she is tasked with— on top of her regular work tasks — to become the HEAD OF AN IT DEPARTMENT FOR COMBATTING HACKERS. also, he constantly pushes zen —someone who is very, very allergic to cats— to interact with his cat. like he wants to take his pet cat to their charity party/event, and seems very blase and uncaring and disbelieving to the fact that he’s allergic, and that other attendees could be too! and as another example: in zen’s route he offers zen a job when he’s looking work— but it has to do with modelling for a cat food brand, and interacting with cats. which he’s explicitly told jumin he doesn’t want to do. they reconcile and it leads to zen giving in and doing the modeling job :/ now, i don’t dislike cats— i love cats! but i’m also very allergic to them (fur, dander, and saliva) so this hits a little close to home. but constant exposure to an allergen can trigger chronic asthma and asthma attacks, and chronic asthma can be very damaging to someone. it can damage their lungs! it’s not a matter to be trivialized! and even if zen’s allergies were “minor,” jumin’s constantly trying to force someone who’s set up a boundary time and time again about not wanting to interact with cats to interact with them and while it is a small example — at least in comparison to the rest of his route— of him ignoring/overstepping/bulldozing past boundaries, it still makes me itch!

[feathered-serpents]

I’m super allergic to cats but also really want a cat one day, and do think it is possible because my allergies are not terrible with EVERY cat. I’m not very allergic to my friends cats and I just petsit a cat I seemed not allergic to at all (though he made biscuits on my arm and his claws pricked me slightly, which made me get itchy, so some things may not go away)

I’ve noticed the common denominator is the cats I am less allergic to are all long-haired cats, and my friend is pretty sure his cats are part Maine Coon, so I’m thinking any cat with Maine Coon in it is safe for me. Or, I could just save up and get a purebred Maine Coon, which I think is honestly the best option as I am still allergic to SOME long haired cats. It’s just that all the cats I HAVEN’T been allergic to have been long haired

I’ve seen some things for cat allergies that’s like. Stuff you can rub on their fur or special food you can feed them that allegedly make allergies better but I refuse to alter my cat in any way to help MY allergies. It’s not the cat’s fault, and I’m concerned doing anything to the cat to help my allergies will harm them somehow. Like for example, I know the problem is not the fur, but the saliva, so if the food makes it so I’m less allergic to whatever is in their saliva, does that make it so they can’t groom themselves as efficiently? Or if the there’s something I can rub on their fur, does that damage their fur? Or, like I said earlier, make their fur less clean or uncomfortable for them? I refuse to risk it, I’ll gladly get shots if they come out with a treatment that works, but I will not alter my cat for my allergies

I just love cats so much and want a kitty so badly �� but I also enjoy breathing �� and not being constantly itchy 😞 but if I can just find the right cat I know it’s possible!! And I think Maine Coons are the best place to look!!!

[fuckin-sick-bih]

Ooo I wanna know about your hellhound boy! What does he look like? What is the universe setting he's in? What makes him sneeze?

❤️ Bewitchedfeathers

Hi Bewitchedfeathers! Putting this under a Read More because ohh I got carried away >///<

Matt is around 5'10" in his human form and 9' (nose to tail) with a 3' tail in his hellhound form. Human form he's got dark brown hair and tanned skin, with the sense of style of I picked it up off the floor and it smelled clean. Matt is also red color blind in both forms! He's kind of feisty and fun some days, other days he's an absolute sloth.

Hellhound things get more complicated.

I didn't stick to imagining strictly canine or feline traits so it's a bit of a mix of both? Think very massively predatory cat body but with a sleeker wolf-like shape. No fur. Matt's hellhound form instead has these sort of scales that can fold flat neatly or bristle up like hackles on a dog.

He's got cute bat ears too. Think tiger-like teeth, but there's something wrong about the saliva. This is an unholy creature after all. Hellhound bites are a death sentence unless rinsed with holy water.

He's in his own funky little universe for now! I think I've got a plan for him with his little rebuild, but it's not all worked out yet!

What makes Matt sneeze? Religious paraphernalia. So being around a crucifix? Cue one sneezy hellhound. Even if it's a little one on someone's necklace. Pretty easy for him to avoid most of the time... right? He's also got a pretty sensitive nose even for the some of the hounds, sometimes the ash in hell can make him sneeze.

Churches tho? A no go for him. It's like asking someone whose allergic to pollen to go into a greenhouse in spring.

He works in a graveyard as night security, unofficially uses his hellhound form to scare any daring high school kids out of the graveyard at night. Officially, he guards a portal to hell. His apartment is sometimes too far from the graveyard to walk home and Matt ends up sleeping at work in the security shed.

Sorry if you've answered this before, but I'm interested in how werewolves work in your lore? I love the new guys so much!

i don't think anyone's asked! i use fr as like.. a creative playground, so there aren't a ton of hard-and-fast rules on how just about anything works. (no matter how much i overthink things)

the werewolves in my fr lore are kinda based on my werewolves in the ttrpg game i run so this kinda goes for both lol

tl;dr it varies wildly! essentially its a magic disease family with a multitude of slightly different presentations.

there are two main groups of lycanthropy: genetic and contracted. genetic strains are only passed from parent to child, and children almost always inherit it.

there are fewer genetic strains, and they tend to have more in common with each other than contracted strains. different genetic strains can interbreed with each other and create hybrid strains as well.

contracted strains are passed via fluid contact when the sire werewolf is transformed (usually saliva in a bite wound, but also things like, say, ritual blood-drinking. not sexually transmittable.) but from there it varies wildly.

some strains only transform under the full moon, some can do it at will, some turn with extreme emotion. some look like full-on feral wolves, some turn halfway, some look like the universal wolfman. some are just human under the fur, some revert to animal instinct, some become aggressive. the fur color and texture always matches the human/dragon form's hair, and body types usually match. any given strain can have any combination of symptoms.

a couple examples: hawthorn was bitten, he can turn at will and unwillingly with extreme emotion, his wolf form can stand on two feet but otherwise looks like a massive wolf, he retains thought but is much more instinctual, and is not affected by silver. rosie, one of my npcs, is a genetic strain, she turns under the full moon and with strong emotion, her wolf form walks on two legs (and looks like a giant poodle- her human form has curly blonde hair), retains full faculties, and is allergic to silver.

there are treatments and a bite doesn't guarantee infection. if someone is treated immediately after exposure, their transformations can be easier to control or stopped altogether. there are also medications to prevent passing it to others. lycanthropy cannot be cured and most don't want a cure.

on the fr lore side, werewolves are a known factor and aren't as rare as one might think. dragons, being innately magical, are more susceptible to lycanthropy than beastclans, some of which are totally immune.

gaolers in their fourfooted form are sometimes mistaken for werewolves. views on lycanthropy of course vary- they're seen as almost lucky in some parts of shadow territory.

this was. long and rambly and im sorry if it didnt make a lot of sense lol

ITCHY PET SKIN PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

Itching is one of the most visible indications of a skin problem in your pets, but without a complete veterinary check, it's impossible to tell exactly what's bothering your dog. While it is natural for a dog to itch from time to time, just as a person may scratch their skin from time to time, frequent or chronic scratching is a warning indication of something more severe going on. Pets that scratch the affected region with their paws or brush their heads against an item might ease the itch. You could also see your dog licking their paws or other parts of their body to relieve sore skin. Check your pet on a regular basis for any of these signs and make a note of any reactions your dog has. You may notice that your pet itches more frequently after meals, during certain seasons, or after you've done any cleaning, all of which might suggest an underlying skin allergy or atopic dermatitis. The more information you can provide, the more likely your veterinarian will be able to make an accurate and thorough allergy or skin infection diagnosis.

TYPES OF PETS SKIN CONDITION:

1. ENVIRONMENTAL ALLERGIES:

A rapid start of itching, especially to the face, feet, chest, and stomach, may suggest an environmental allergy, which is triggered when your dog comes into touch with the source of discomfort. This type of allergy in pets is known as 'atopy,' and it is similar to hay fever in humans, except that pets exhibit it by having irritated, itchy skin rather than watery eyes and sneezing. Grass, dust mites, and pollen are some of the most frequent allergens for pets. Environmental allergies can be difficult to treat at times, necessitating the use of shampoos, pills, and injections in the most severe cases.

2. FOOD ALLERGIES:

Increased itching, particularly of the face, paws, ears, and anus, are symptoms of a possible pet food allergy. Food allergies in pets can be caused by the kind of protein ingested as part of their diet, such as beef, eggs, poultry, and dairy, however some pets can have allergies to wheat or even vegetables. Pets with food intolerances, like people, must go on an elimination diet for 8-12 weeks to rule out other sources of the allergy. Your veterinarian will walk you through each stage of this therapy and how to effectively carry it out. It is critical that you do not give any of the suspected allergens to your pet throughout the elimination procedure in order to obtain a clear result and guarantee your doctor can recommend a treatment plan that is right for your pets.

3. FOLLICULITIS:

 Folliculitis, which means inflamed hair follicles, is common in dogs that have another skin disease, such as mange or allergies, since the hair follicles become infected by the underlying skin illness. It manifests itself on the body as sores, lumps, and scabs on the skin. A veterinarian will prescribe shampoos, oral medicines, and antibacterial ointments to help treat and calm the illness.

4. RINGWORM:

Despite its name, ringworm is a fungus that is highly infectious to both animals and people. The fungal illness manifests as round, crusty bald spots on a dog's head, paws, ears, and front legs. Your dog's skin may also seem swollen and red where they have scratched and irritated the region. If you see any indications of discomfort, call your veterinarian immediately so that he or she may prescribe a topical medication to destroy the fungus and prevent it from spreading.

TICK AND FLEAS:

 Ticks and fleas irritate your pet's skin by biting and sucking blood from them. Flea saliva penetrates the body and can create an allergic reaction, irritating your pet's skin and causing them to itch excessively. Serious parasite allergies include inflamed, red skin, frequent scratching, and dogs chewing at their hair to relieve irritation. In harsh weather, their fur may come off in sections. Fleas are microscopic parasites that may live in our carpets and bedding, which is why it's critical to vacuum on a regular basis, wash your pet's bed, and make sure they're up to date on their prophylactic medications to kill any bugs.

DANDRUFF:

Pets can have dandruff or 'scruff' and dry skin; this might be an indication of an underlying issue, such as an infection. Some dogs are prone to dry skin, particularly in the winter, and this may be influenced by their food; high-quality protein sources, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and other nutrients may all help maintain the coat healthy. Simple instances of dandruff are usually treatable with shampoos, but the vet will want to be sure there is nothing more going on. For better skin you can use these products as solution for your healthy pet’s skin

The Contract - Chapter 12

*Warning Adult Content*

I made it back to my apartment in exactly twenty minutes by walking and in those twenty minutes, I had several arguments in my head how about how I'm going to face Donovan and what I'm going to say to him.

It's been a week since I last spoke or even heard from him and the last time I saw him, we weren't exactly talking, at this point, I only know our relationship falls under 'physical' rather than the standard relationship where we talk every day.

Stepping out of the elevator, I grip my gym bag and curse myself every filthy word I know in the book, as I near my apartment but instantly relax when I turn the corner and see that he's not standing outside waiting.

Did he leave?

I grab my keys and open the door, sighing out feeling completely drained, physically and mentally.

"You took your time getting here."

I throw my cell-phone in the air from the sudden voice scaring the shit out of me and failing to catch it, causing it to fall on the floor.

Looking to the living room, there he is, Donovan, making himself at home with his jacket off and shoes by the door, like he freaking lives here.

"You scared the shit out of me," I snap out, holding my hand against my chest to calm my beating heart.

I pick up my new phone and see that the screen is cracked.... great, just great.

"My day could not get any worse," I mutter out under my breath.

"How did you get in here?" I ask, setting my keys and newly cracked cell-phone on the kitchen aisle.

He sits up from the sofa and walks over to me, making me feel suddenly nervous again, as the effects of his touch and smell cloud my mind.

"I own this building," he simply says, staring down at me coldly once he steps in front of me.

I stand my ground and look him in the eye.

"I'm really not in the mood for this. Can you not go to someone else?"

His face remains cold and still as he leans closer to me until his face is inches from mine.

"You smell like alcohol," he states once he smells me, making me cringe, remembering where I just came from.

"I had a thing I had to deal with. That is why I needed the money," I force out, avoiding his hard stare. "The money wasn't for me.'

I move away from him and swallow hard.

"I promise I'll pay you back, once I get paid."

A knock at the door fills the room, making Donovan walk past me to go answer it, leaving me standing there in the awkward silence he caused.

I sigh and grab a bottle of water from the fridge then move to sit on the sofa, wanting him to just leave me alone, so I can take a shower and go to sleep and forget this day ever happened.

I hear the door close and then see Donovan come back into the room, holding two boxes of pizzas in his hands.

"What's this?" I ask, watching him until he sits down next to me on the sofa.

"I ordered food, I didn't have time to eat yet," he said opened the pizza box and took a slice. "I hope you like meat, other than mine that is."

I almost choke on my own saliva as he bites into the pizza, looking at me intensely, watching my reaction.

"You're such a pervert," I scoff. "Yes I like meat on my pizza but like I told you..."

I grab a piece from the open pizza box.

"I'm not gay."

Not fully anyways, I still liked women but I didn't mention that.

He doesn't say anything but grabs another slice.

I sit back and eat the pizza in silence and I have to say, looking at someone like Donovan Steele, a billionaire eating pizza with a nobody like me, really does feel like I'm having some strange dream.

"I didn't think you'd eat this stuff," I mumble, swallowing the pizza in my mouth. "I figured you'd be eating some rich people's food, caviar,and lobster," I joke.

He laughs, making the hairs on my arms stand up.

"I indulge when I can and I'm allergic to shellfish."I stare at him with wide eyes.

"No shit."

How random.

"Me too. Isn't that a coincidence?"

There was a moment of silence but it didn't last long.

"If the money wasn't for you, then who was it for?" he asks.

Sighing, I wipe my hands with a napkin.

"My mom. She's... an alcoholic and only ever contacts me when she's coming down from some drug or needs money for food or more alcohol. I just found out she got married today," I laugh bitterly. "My new stepdad is as bad as she is. They're both are a drunken mess."

I try and change the subject, instantly getting worked up from it being so fresh still, having just calmed myself down, it's all coming back.

"Did you just get back from your business trip?"

Donovan puts the pizza down and looks at me.

"Yes. About an hour ago."

I hum, not exacting it to be that soon but now that I think about it, did he come straight here?

"Why'd you come straight here?" I ask, taking a drink from my bottled water. "Don't you have a home to go to? A girlfriend or something?"

"I came because it sounded like you needed someone to talk to," he says, catching me off guard. "And because I was hungry," he hints at the pizza as he picks up his slice and eats it.

I roll my eyes.

"Well I don't need anyone, so eat your pizza then go home."

Donovan smirks and leans back, leaning his arm on the back of the sofa as he looks at me with a curious stare.

His eyes make me nervous and the fact he's so close, it's been a week but I still remembered what he felt like.

"What?" I ask nervously, uncomfortable with the way he looks at me.

"Good job on landing your big role." he said, with sincerely. "The role suits you well.

""I can't tell if you're making fun of me or not," I say sarcastically. "Thank you anyway. I'm excited about it."

He laughs, huskily.

"No, really. I knew you'd get it. Have more faith in yourself Evan. You're a rare talent."

His words hit me deeply as I pull my eyes from his.

"Why are you really here?" I ask, trying my best to not look at him, part of me already knows why he's here.

"The truth?" he hums, a deep rumble. "My parents are visiting for the weekend so I'm avoiding their overbearing presence."

I scoff at 'overbearing presence' relating to it instantly considering he's here right now.

His parents, huh? I shouldn't laugh but I couldn't help myself given the situation, considering he's being overbearing right now and not even realizing it."

So what?"

I sit back and tilt my head to look at him.

"You thought you could crash here for the weekend and get laid? Don't you have women clinging off your every limb? Why don't you just go and stay with one of them?" I say with a sigh. "I'm sure they're practically begging to be at your back and call for the weekend."

He smirks, showing his perfect teeth.

"You're more fun than any woman I've ever slept with," he admits. "I'm too tired to cater to a woman's needs right now. I'd rather sleep here than head home," he adds, standing up and walking to the kitchen with the pizza boxes.

I look at him baffled as the words 'what the hell did he just say' come to mind.

Did he just say he's sleeping here?

"You're staying the night?" I ask in horror, watching him open the fridge, making himself at home.

He turns around and grins handsomely and shrugs at me before taking a drink of bottled water from the fridge, already making himself comfortable.

What the hell is going on?

What To Know About Lyme Disease

The most common disease carried by the deer tick in New England is Lyme disease. Winter weather is usually freezing and snowy for a long enough period of time to keep deer ticks from showing up. This year we can expect to see Lyme disease showing up in late spring and throughout the summer and fall months. Ticks are typically active any time the temperature is above 40 degrees and there is no dense snow cover.

What can I do to avoid tick bites?

After you have been hiking or your kids have been playing in brushy areas or in the woods, check yourself and your family for ticks. Look in all the nooks and crannies, including your armpits, you’d be surprised, and in your hair. Adult deer ticks are hard to find; nymphal deer ticks are even smaller and look like freckles with legs. If you want to rid your yard of ticks and the chance of getting Lyme Disease call The Mosquito Guy Today. We have a 5-star review status on google and specialize in Best Pesticide Ticks and Mosquito Control Services in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

What to do if you find a tick on you?

Get some tweezers to grasp the tick at its head where it is embedded in the skin, pull with gentle, steady pressure then flush it down the toilet. You could also try the new craze of peppermint oil in which the tick will just release itself. Clean that spot with soap and water. If the tick is not puffy and full of blood when you remove it, this means you got it in time. In order to pass on Lyme disease, the tick must be attached to you for about 48 hours. Only about 40 percent of deer ticks in Massachusetts carry the Lyme bacteria, so most tick bites here will not give you Lyme if you are bitten.

What should I do after getting a tick bite?

Keep a close eye on the bite. If you have redness and itching that comes on quickly after you remove the tick, it is an allergic reaction to the tick's saliva. Seven to 14 days later, if you develop a round red rash that expands, it could be a Lyme disease rash and you should see your doctor as soon as possible.

Should I see my doctor right after a tick bite for preventive antibiotics?

As we are not doctors here at The Mosquito Guy we recommend you call your trusted doctor for more information immediately if you feel you need to. He may be able to tell you if the tick is in fact carrying Lyme Disease and may be able to provide you with an antibiotic.

What are the symptoms of Lyme disease?

Some people experience fever, aches, sweats, and low energy in addition to the round red rash that typically comes with it. If the illness remains untreated for a few weeks, it may cause multiple red rashes and fever and can eventually cause infections in the heart tissue, spinal fluid, and joints. However, even at these later stages, Lyme is completely curable with antibiotics.

ROUND 4, MATCH 1

Propaganda under the cut!

Jumin Han

Propaganda

manipulative and abusive asshole

He's a stuck up trust fund baby, and won't take no for an answer. His route is objectively the WORST

He is in love with his cat and constantly compares you with the damn cat😭 like an actual fucking feline animal that’s not nickname 😭😭😭

unapologetic member of the bourgeoisie. makes his secretary cut her hair and wear glasses so he can take her seriously. 0/10 hate this man so much it has been 7 years since i first set eyes on him and to this day i have carried this with me in silence. my hatred for this man has been my burden. my old mysme mutuals will never know.

ok so fun fact when i tried to play jumin’s route i hated it so fucking much i abandoned ship on day 7. this is a grown ass man who is far too immature (and has too much money) to be romanceable like can he see a therapist first? i’m not his therapist. i’m not. i’m not his cat either. why are you locking me in your penthouse does this LOOK like amnesia: memories. also i hate that in order to gain favor ability you have to act like a jerk to other characters at times and also i love jaehee (his secretary that he makes do Fucking Everything For Him) too much to want to date him romantically. imo he’s a great character in other routes, but in his own it’s just…. :/ . did i mention i hate the whole “getting locked in his house” thing. 

he makes jaehee do so much shit that is WAAAAYYY outside the scope of her job description???? she’s his personal assistant. he makes her take care of his personal — completely unrelated to the company— projects related to cats, makes her watch his pet cat at HER APARTMENT OUTSIDE OF WORK HOURS (as far as i can tell he didnt pay her extra for that, though she does get paid overtime) which is so wildly entitled of him to do, but he’s a rich man so. in every route except for jaehee’s and his own— in jaehee’s she quits altogether and in jumin’s she gets a long awaited and well deserved vacation— he piles her with so much more work than is reasonable. for example: in another story she is tasked with— on top of her regular work tasks — to become the HEAD OF AN IT DEPARTMENT FOR COMBATTING HACKERS. also, he constantly pushes zen —someone who is very, very allergic to cats— to interact with his cat. like he wants to take his pet cat to their charity party/event, and seems very blase and uncaring and disbelieving to the fact that he’s allergic, and that other attendees could be too! and as another example: in zen’s route he offers zen a job when he’s looking work— but it has to do with modelling for a cat food brand, and interacting with cats. which he’s explicitly told jumin he doesn’t want to do. they reconcile and it leads to zen giving in and doing the modeling job :/ now, i don’t dislike cats— i love cats! but i’m also very allergic to them (fur, dander, and saliva) so this hits a little close to home. but constant exposure to an allergen can trigger chronic asthma and asthma attacks, and chronic asthma can be very damaging to someone. it can damage their lungs! it’s not a matter to be trivialized! and even if zen’s allergies were “minor,” jumin’s constantly trying to force someone who’s set up a boundary time and time again about not wanting to interact with cats to interact with them and while it is a small example — at least in comparison to the rest of his route— of him ignoring/overstepping/bulldozing past boundaries, it still makes me itch!

Sam Dalton

Propaganda

Spineless af, no personality but 'horny' for the mc. pretty shit at being a parent. Literally cheated on their fiance, but the fiance is made out to be the 'bad guy'. Character is gender customisable but is written so white male coded urgh. is terribly jealous but not in a cute way. just really annoying. much rather choose their ex wife or fiancé over them any day

He (like it was said before customizable but white man coded) was so bad when I played the game. He’s the only love interest of the story, but after a single chapter I decided I wasn’t interested in him. I went out of my way to avoid any romantic options with him. For me the game was just “The Nanny”. But, despite all my romance dodging, I ended up with a scene where he says word for word “My hands aren't clean, [character name]. How can they be, when I think about you every time I touch myself? Or when I want to murder the next man who touches you?”. BIG RED FLAG. Also at one point, Sam can give you the option to DITCH HIS 9 YEAR OLD SONS BIRTHDAY PARTY and hook up with him!
