[a-dauntless-daffodil]

Charlie: "Dad. Did you post this."

Lucifer: "Oh my 'selfie' with your dear lovely Maggie?? Why yes I DID! Do you like it!?"

Charlie: "Dad."

Lucifer: "Since she's your loving girlfriend, who you love, I thought gosh! I should really have on my social media page! Make a change from all the ducks, ha ha!"

Charlie: "Dad did you write the- the caption on it?"

Lucifer: "The c- oh yes! Well I wanted everyone to know how much I ADORE my daughter's girlfriend!!"

Charlie: "You wrote-"

Lucifer: "See, the 'bad' here means 'good'! I checked! Bad and bitch are bad on their own, but when you put them together it's like a, er, a double negative making a positive, haha! Maggie's a bad bitch- she's AWESOME- which ahaha I'm sure YOU know since you're dating her-and now all of Hell knows I think so too!!!! ISN'T THAT SWELL!"

Charlie: "But the actual whole caption says-"

Lucifer: "'ME AND THE BAD BITCH I PULLED BY BEING CHARLIE'S DAD'!"

Lucifer: "Aww and the picture turned out so great! Look!"

Lucifer: ".... you don't look super thrilled about it, Char-char."

Charlie: "Pulled, dad... Do you know what 'pulled' can mean exactly, specifically, in THIS context..?"

Lucifer: "... pulled.... into a... hug? Like in the selfie...?"

Charlie: "Dad."

Charlie: (deep breath) "I can't believe I'm saying this..."

Charlie: "You made it sound like you SLEPT WITH my girlfriend."

Lucifer: "......."

Lucifer: "Oh. HA! That's..."

Lucifer: (deflating balloon noises as he literally shrivels up into a crumpled pile of clothes mostly hidden by his hat)

Charlie: "We're not angry!"

Lucifer: ".... i m s o r r y..."

Charlie: "It's okay!!! IT'S FINE. A little mentally scarring and socially mortifying not to mention something our friends won't EVER let us live down, but- well- Just... Just-"

Charlie: "No more social media meme posting without running them past me or Vaggie first, alright!?"

Lucifer: "If I delete the post maybe no one else will see it...."

Charlie: "Everyone in Hell has already seen it, dad."

Lucifer: "..i could delete myself instead"

Charlie: "And HOW would that help?"

Lucifer: "...it would make me feel better..."

Vaggie: "Honestly sir, the most embarrassing part is how you look young enough to be my teenage son."

Charlie: "Thanks, Vaggie."

Vaggie: "Check out my stress wrinkles and scars next his baby smooth face. It's like I picked him up from a cradle somewhere."

Charlie: "Please don't joke about cradle robbing my actual father."

Vaggie: "Sorry babe."

Charlie: "I mean I'll NEVER be able to look at ANY of my parents' family portraits the same way ever AGAIN, but thank you for being SO understanding about the rumor you're dating my DAD!"

Vaggie: "Sir, what kinda skin routine are you even doing?"

Lucifer: "room full of rubber ducks and despair"

Charlie: "VAGGIE PLEASE."

Vaggie: "Sweetie, I'm ruffling his hair in the pic. It's hilarious."

Charlie: "I DON'T NEED THE REMINDER!"

Vaggie: "Feels like I'm about to call the king of hell 'kiddo' or something."

Lucifer: (a puddle on the floor) "i thought it was funny too"

Charlie: "Okay.... okay."

Charlie: "You two NEED to find a bonding activity that doesn't TRAUMATIZE me."

Vaggie: "Hmm."

Lucifer: "OH WE COULD-"

Charlie: "Or each other!"

Lucifer: "Oh well then I have nothing!"

Vaggie: "We'll always have that time you fake dated me online, sir someday dad-in-law."

Lucifer: "Our beautifully shared new horrifying past..."

Charlie: "Ha ha HA! Keep this up and either the dad part or the someday in-law part is gonna stop being accurate REAL quick!"

Vaggie: "It will?"

Charlie: "No but I'm trying to threaten you two right now so SHUSH."

I DIG YOUR CINEMA (6)

harry styles x yn aspiring filmmaker — social media AU

About the smau: yn starts posting videos on youtube and is trying to build a career as a filmmaker. Things are going pretty well for her and she starts getting more attention when she creates content about shows she goes to. She’s also a fan of Harry’s music and some of his fans start getting suspicious when his team starts interacting with her.

Disclaimer: The story it’s set in 2021 and it will follow their relationship through the LOT leg in the US. Since this is nothing but fiction, I will be following some of the real timeline but also adding my own stuff. On top of that, I won’t be basing myself on Harry’s actual posts.

But now she’s clearly aware of what’s happening and what they’re saying so she could put a stop to it instead of making jokes about it ↳ harryfan25 honestly I don’t think she would be able to stop them but ok  ↳ harryfan74 She clearly wants the attention so of course she won’t stop the rumors

wanna bet? (chris sturniolo x f! reader)

part 1!

warnings: enemies to lovers trope!, teasing, one annoying the other, suggestive, honestly just back and forth arguments

a/n: heyy, I'm making three parts of this 'cause it's way too long to be just in one part. friendly reminder: english is not my first language. 💕

synopsis: when you and Chris were left alone for a few hours and you can't stop arguing with each other, without Nick or Matt to separate you both, he decides to do something about it himself.

🪻🪻🪻

I walk down the stairs with a towel in hand drying my hair. When I realized that there was no one but me in the living room, and that Nick was not in his room, nor Matt in his, I came to the conclusion that the boys probably left me here alone. At least a moment of peace.

It was all I needed, until I heard footsteps and saw the silhouette of the boy I liked the least appearing in front of me, already rolling his eyes before he even fully saw me.

-Where's Nick? —His voice was hoarse, as if he had just woken up, even though it was past 2pm.

He wore a black denim shorts and a white tank top, his wet hair letting a few drops of water fall to the floor. Although he didn't seem so excited by my presence, he still walked towards me.

-He went out with Matt. —I answer, without much interest. I look through the kitchen cabinets, searching for some snacks.

-So they left us alone. —He scoffs, frustrated, looking at me as if it was my fault.

And I thought I'd have a few minutes of peace in this house.

-I'm not happy about it either, dude, stop looking at me.

I grab a Doritos, opening it and eating one as I make my way to the living room couch. Chris lets out an angry sigh and takes a pepsi out of the fridge, then throws himself on the opposite end of the sofa.

He takes his phone out of his pocket and types for a few seconds before tossing the phone on the side table and opening the soda. I turn on the tv, looking for a movie to watch.

-They're at Target and then they'll stop by BK to bring food. Matt said it should take an hour.

Chris announces, not taking my attention off the tv as I listen about where my friends are. An hour wasn't that long, I could watch something in silence if he cooperated and didn't open his fucking mouth.

Not wanting to continue the conversation, I just shake my head in affirmation and open the suspense tab, looking for something that I hadn't seen yet.

-Put on an action movie.

The boy's voice is heard again and I close my eyes, trying to stay calm. I take another doritos in the package, realizing that it was already running out.

-Action is bad and I want to see something cool until the boys are back, so shut up and let me choose. —I answer with a calm but serious voice, warning him not to exceed my limits of kindness.

He kept his arms crossed and his legs slightly apart from each other. I feel my blood boiling and I knew I was about to get carried away with my emotions and end up in yet another argument that would suck out all my energies.

Without responding me, he moves on the couch, sitting closer to me and taking the control out of my hand, clicking on the horror tab.

-It can be something we both like. —He says, his voice sounding calmer, but his expressions the same.

I roll my eyes and cross my arms and legs, letting him choose without giving my opinion. It wasn't going to make any difference and it's just for another hour until the boys arrive and I don't have to deal with him anymore. After going through a few covers, he pressed play on a random horror movie that seemed to be about spirits or something, quite cliche.

The movie starts and I quickly realize that my snack is over. I let the plastic bag on the table next to Chris's pepsi and take the opportunity to take a few sips of his soda, feeling like drinking something after eating all the doritos in the package.

-Hey! That's my pepsi! —He looks at me angrily, which makes me laugh a bit and hide the can behind my body when I see him walking towards me ready to take it back.

Chris stops in front of me, trying to pull the pepsi out of my hand, while I just move it from side to side. When he was about to get it, I quickly drink the last sips.

-Get over it, it's just a soda. —I say, placing the can next to the finished doritos on the table and ignoring his furious gaze.

I sit in the middle of the couch, trying to turn my attention back to the movie. I hear Chris sigh loudly, but he doesn't do anything but sit down next to me and cross his arms again, locking his jaw and not taking his eyes off the screen.

A few minutes pass in silence and I feel the couch vibrate. I looked around in confusion until I realized that Chris's phone was buzzing. He picks it up and unlocks the screen, clicking on the notification and reading the text. Out of the corner of my eye I can see him rolling his eyes and blocking the screen again without even responding, throwing his head back and closing his eye.

-What? One of your little girlfriends broke up with you? —I ask, provoking him.

I hadn't read what it was, even though I was close enough, I don't like to invade anyone's privacy, but from his reaction I knew it was something bad and if it was bad for him it was good for me.

-Nick said they're gonna take longer.

His answer had already played out as a possibility in my head, but it was still a burden to have to spend more time alone with him.

I had no clue what was the story of the movie anymore because I missed so many parts, so I had nothing stopping me from angering him even more. I get up from the couch, walking to the kitchen, seeing him follow me with his gaze, but not interested enough to follow behind me. I open the fridge, grabbing the last can of pepsi and look back at him with a smile.

-How lucky, it's the last one. —I announce, seeing him get up and walk towards me.

I hurry to open the can and take a few sips, starting to run around the kitchen counter as the boy chases after me to try and grab what's left of his favorite soda. I run back to the couch, making him stop in front of me, seeing that I had nowhere else to run, but the can was already half empty.

I was doing everything I could to annoy him, and it was working.

-Give me the Pepsi. —He demands, his voice serious.

He walks in slow steps and I smile sarcastically before putting another amount of the drink in my mouth and he takes advantage of the situation. With one hand he takes the pepsi from me, and with the other he joins my two hands and holds me by the wrists. His eyes focused on mine as I noticed how his pupils had dilated, the black now predominant, leaving no space for the blue.

-You need to stop acting like a bitch. —He groans, so stressed that his sentence almost came out between his teeth.

I felt the tension weighing down and now it seemed to be a lot more serious than before, but it's not like I was afraid to mess with him.

Chris squeezed my wrists tighter, which I was sure it'd turn red later, then he let go. He chugged the rest of the Pepsi and left the can next to the other on the side table.

Chris gave me one last, almost deadly, look and sat back down on the couch. I allow myself to process the situation. The look he gave me was his way of telling me that "enough is enough".

He manspreads, arms crossed and his jaw locked. I rolled my eyes, sitting a little further away and not letting my eyes stray from his face, he was eventually turning slightly red, I knew he was holding all the anger inside. It never took much for us to get angry with each other.

-You didn't last long this time. —I tease, my voice low, almost disappointed.

The movie was still running on the tv. It hadn't been that much time, and from Nick's message you could tell they were going to take longer then we expected anyways. Being without any entertainment until then was torture, and I knew that he wouldn't leave me alone to use my phone or do anything by myself, which I took as an advantage, I could use our time to make him mad.

-Shut up. —His answer came quietly, almost in a whisper.

I smiled at his reaction and move closer to him, letting our shoulders lean against each other.

-Oh, c'mon, it was just pepsi. —I laugh internally as I feel his gaze on me once again, looking even more stressed, if that was even possible.

Our gazes met and I felt on my skin all the irritation he felt. Being so close made me feel for the first time confused about how this was going to end. Normally our fights never get too bad, mostly because Nick and Matt were always there to push us away, but now it was just the two of us.

-You better shut the fuck up. —Another whisper, but this time I felt a slight shiver down my spine.

He was serious, he always was, but now I felt like I was really pushing his buttons. Although usually I'd get stressed back, I was having fun, seeing him so mad was funny.

-Or what?

I watch his every moves carefully. He takes a deep breath, closing his eyes for a few seconds before looking back at me with a smirk that makes me a bit nervous.

My body involuntarily moves backwards, getting into a position where I could observe everything from a better angle. Without having any answers, I allow myself to relax and turn my attention to the tv, with the same movie still playing.

-I'll have to do it for you.

This one was not as low as the last few replies, but enough to cheer me up. He was going to fight back, finally, maybe I would even get mad back if he was lucky.

I let out a nasal laugh, as a form of provocation, and turn my gaze to his face again, which like mine, until a few seconds ago, was focused on the tv. Seeing him so angry wasn't something new for me, but I felt something different this time. I wanted more, I wanted to see him explode with rage.

-And what are you going to do? You could barely take a can of Pepsi out of my hand, didn't make me angry, you're just pretty weak today. You can't shut me up, you can't even calm down, let go of your anger, Chris, that stupid face of yours doesn't scare me.

I speak in a normal tone, looking at him with all the sarcasm I could. He bites his cheek, making me smile to finally see that maybe he was reaching the height of his anger, but to my surprise he just smiled.

I didn't let myself look surprised, but his next steps were unexpected. Chris stepped closer again, grabbing my wrists and pinning them above my head.

-If you want me to let go of my anger so much then maybe I'll use you to calm down, what do you think?

His dilated pupils made his eyes turn completely black, not showing even a trace of blue anymore. He held me tight, but not so tight that I couldn't get out, it wasn't an obligation, he was giving me a choice.

With that I feel my hatred rise once again, but despite being mad enough to fight back at the same level, I was too surprised by the offer to even think of a response. I knew he was just teasing me, but that kind of subject never came into our mouths while we were fighting before. Not once. Not ever.

-Fuck you. —I answer through my teeth, letting out all the hatred I felt for him at that moment, which only made him laugh and loosen my wrists, but not pulling back or looking away.

-I'm sure you wouldn't feel so stressed if you let me fuck you right now, maybe you'll calm down a little. —He keeps talking and I feel my body heating up in anger.

Now he crossed the line, he crossed them faster than he should have and I didn't like that. I didn't want to lose the advantage I had or lose this stupid argument, and it was obvious that neither Nick or Matt were going to arrive at the right time to separate us as it happens in movie scenes.

He had used my own poison against me and I wouldn't let him get away with this.

-Chris, let's face it, you could try all night, but you'd never make me feel good. I'm sure my own hand is more effective than your fucking cock.

I roll my eyes, feeling weird for saying these words, but it was interesting to see how his expression has completely changed. He no longer had an idiotic smile on his face, but rather the seriousness that followed him whenever we were together.

For a second I felt victorious, I knew that him being serious meant that I could be on top of the situation again, but that feeling passed as soon as I realized that he was actually analyzing me. I furrowed my eyebrow in confusion as I stared into the depths of his soul through his eyes, trying to know what the hell he was thinking about. Soon enough, his smirk returned, it was small but noticeable.

-Wanna bet?

[biolumien]

Hiiii!!!! 😊👋 So I only just started Kaiju no. 8!!! New to the fandom and not a manga reader. Idk what’s going to happen in the next episode—all I know is that Hoshina better not d*e lol.

Anyways!!! Obviously I am a huge Hoshina fan/simp!!! I really like your blog and I have enjoyed your Hoshina fics!!!!!! 🥹 And since your requests are open, I wanted to know if I could perhaps make one??? 👉👈

If so, I was wondering if you could do something sort of related to your “say it!” fic??? Like where Hoshina (+ reader) somehow bumps into the ex from operations you mentioned in the fic??? And reader gets SUPERRRRR jealous (lord knows I would be especially if said ex was really beautiful and smart) and insecure. Maybe reader acts a bit distant/moody after the encounter but once Hoshina realizes what’s up he immediately reassures reader and let’s them know how much he loves/cares for them???

Sorry if this request is weird or doesn’t make sense to you, I’ve honestly just been thinking about a similar scenario ever since reading that fic of yours 😭😭 anyways thank you so much for your time 🫶❤️ and please never stop writing, your fics are beautiful 💖💕

notes: hihi; thank you so much for your request; i hope that this is okay; you sent this in before the most recent episode but hoshina's a fairly important character to the story of kaiju no 8 overall so he'll be alright... i combined this with a slightly different ask which also surrounded jealousy but with okonogi; it's very briefly mentioned though.

jealousy as the crux

soshiro hoshina x gn!reader no warnings should apply, i think. wc: 837

hoshina always maintained rather easy conversation with a lot of people—friendly conversation that sometimes got the better of your self esteem when he teasingly doted on okonogi or otherwise. 

you’d tried not to bring it up, to not bother him—because envy and jealousy like that was an ugly emotion, of course. it wouldn’t be right to burden hoshina with them–mostly because you weren’t even sure how he’d react. he was plenty envious on his own, you think–key point on think. but it might have been for more reasonable things, surely. like the envious desire to become stronger, or something noble like that.

nothing quite like yours. 

but stumbling on hoshina’s ex was never on your list of priorities at all. 

so the fact that she was here—was her name amaya?—only made you more uncomfortable. you barely knew anything about her other than the fact that okonogi spoke her name with strained reverence, cautious to never bring it up around hoshina. hoshina seemed to be uncaring of it all, even so–as if he couldn’t be bothered to remember. 

she was smoking indoors, her eyes tired and weary. 

hoshina didn’t seem to tense up when talking to her, which strangely irked you more. 

“hoshina,” amaya says, approaching hoshina with a raised eyebrow. she pats his shoulder, and he chuckles.

“you look well,” hoshina murmurs. 

“hm. well as i’ll ever be.” her eyes flit to you, her eyes narrowing. you felt uncomfortable under her gaze, as if you were some unique kind of insect to be pinned up in a collection. “this your new partner? they’re cute.”

“hm?” hoshina laughs. “aren’t they?”

the compliment doesn’t feel good, somehow, as it usually does.

“thought you said you wouldn’t date again,” amaya says, dusting off some ash off the tip of her cigarette, taking another breath before blowing it away from the two of you. “not that we really were.” she snorts. “you were too much of a coward last time.”

“hey,” hoshina says, sounding mock-hurt. “i figured we were better off as friends.”

“hm.” amaya exhales. “whatever you say.”

“i wish you’d sound more enthusiastic about this,” hoshina retorts, laughing again. it’s the same laugh he has when he talks to okonogi, that same doting laughter–but it also wasn’t anything special. it was the same kind of laughter he had when he talked to you, though perhaps it was tinged with more fondness when he spoke to you.

if there was anything hoshina was, it might’ve just been annoyingly consistent.

"it's hard to be enthusiastic surrounding you. your sarcastic energy exhausts me," amaya drawls.

you turn away from the conversation at this point–and yet you can feel amaya staring daggers into the back of your head. 

“i’ll let the two of you finish this up,” you say, and your voice sounds far more obviously strained than you’d like for it to be. 

hoshina was allowed to talk to other people. but why did amaya irk you so much? was it just the irreverent way she spoke, the way she seemed to be watching you so intently for no reason? what the hell was her problem? as you stormed off, your footsteps grew angrier as you continued to mull over it. no, seriously! what was her problem? 

but what was yours, being jealous in the first place? you were being irrational–worried because you wanted hoshina’s attention for yourself but of course it wasn’t right to worry this badly about it to the point that envy would turn your stomach like this, create the brittling sensation in your heart. it wasn’t right, and the fact that you knew it wasn’t right made the whirling sense of bad in you feel worse.

you rub your face roughly, trying to shock yourself into trying to just be fucking normal.

“hey.”

hoshina’s voice is quiet when you turn around, and his face is contemplative, brows furrowed in worry.

“are you done? talking to amaya?” you ask.

“for now,” he says. his eyes focus on your face, concerned now. “are you okay?”

“i’m…”

the words die in your throat.

“i don’t want to be jealous,” you say weakly. “of whatever’s going on. but, i–”

hoshina’s hands are on your face before you can even finish your sentence, squishing your cheeks together.

“mm, i see.” hoshina blinks, humming. “why didn’t you just say so earlier?”

you blink.

“you’re not… mad?” you ask.

“mad?” hoshina raises an eyebrow, cocking his head. it looks cute. “should i be?”

“no,” you say. “i–or, i don’t know. maybe? yes?”

“which is it?” hoshina asks, a teasing smile on his face before his brow furrows a bit. “if you would have just told me earlier i could have easily just told you that there’s nothing going on between me and anyone else but you. i chose you. don’t forget that, okay?”

you blink.

“and i love you,” hoshina says, completely straightforwardly, with sure honesty. “don’t forget that.”

you nod, and he squeezes your face, leaning in to kiss you on the lips.

THE INTERN | Chapter One

Spencer Agnew x Younger!Intern!Reader

TW: None

Word Count: 1.9k

Description: Y/N has been a fan of Smosh since they could remember. Now about to enter their senior year of college, they get an opportunity to be an intern at the Smosh Office and their first day has arrived.

Every new job comes with stress. You never know what is going to happen. You could have awful co-workers, creepy or mean bosses, and horrible workloads pushed onto you by lazy co-workers, the list is infinite. 

The stress comes even more when it’s something that could become your first job in the real world. Internships are a major stepping stone in any college kid’s career, it’s the start of being over with college and being a person in society.

That’s all that is racing through Y/N’s head as they look at the studio in front of them. Many people would consider them lucky with their internship. You see, Y/N is a long-time fan of Smosh, a very popular YouTube channel, and was somehow able to get an internship with the company for the summer.

They didn’t know exactly where and who they would be working with, except for knowing that their main job would be helping with social media. Looking at their phone, it shows that they still have ten minutes until they should be there but the anxiety was killing them too much to be any later.

Taking a deep breath, they grip onto the bag on their shoulder and walk to the front door. Pushing the button, they wait until a voice comes over the speaker, “Hi, how can I help you?” They lean down to be face-level with the camera. “Umm, I-I-I’m Y/N L/N. I’m the new intern.” Their voice comes out nervous, hoping they didn’t get the days confused or anything. They read the email what felt like a million times to make sure they were right.

“Yes! Alright, come on in! I’ll meet you at the door.” They hear the door unlock and push it open. Walking into the cool space, the heat from the outside slowly starts to melt from them. Looking around, the office looks much cooler in person. A lot of it is familiar but some things are new or haven’t been shown in videos.

“Hi, it’s nice to meet you!” A gentle voice says, pulling them from their daydream to look at the woman in front of them. The short Filipino woman standing in front of her is smiling kindly, “I’m Selina. Welcome to Smosh.” The woman sticks her hand out for Y/N to shake.

“I’m Y/N, which you already knew, and I know who you are. I’ve been a fan of the channel for a long time. That sounds creepy though, I’m so sorry.” They say while shaking her hand, thankfully the woman has a good sense of humor and is laughing. “It’s not creepy at all. I knew it would come with being in some videos. It’s always cool to meet fans. This must be like a dream for you.”

“Yeah, honestly, the whole process felt like a major dream. I can’t believe I’m here. I had my friends dump cold water on me when I got the email about me getting the internship. It was dumb but helped make sure it was real.” They confess as they play with their hands. Nerves still being the main thing Y/N is feeling.

“I can tell you're nervous. Don’t be. I promise, this place is very chill and the people are amazing. As long as you are willing to work, you’ll fit in well here.” Selina says, comforting the nervous mess that is in front of her. “Thank you, so where do I go?” They ask after taking a deep breath.

“Well, I will give you a tour, and then when we get done with that we will go to the conference room and you will meet some of the people you’ll be working with and some of the higher-ups. That does include Ian and Anthony.” Y/N perks up a little, their mood becoming more optimistic by the second because if everyone is like Selina, then this will be the best time ever.

They follow Selina as she takes them around the office. It’s very empty because it’s a shooting week so most of the office is helping with filming stuff. She got to see all the different pods and meet some of the office-focused staff like Emily, Josh, Peter, and Marcus. 

Once the tour is over, the two head back to the front so Y/N can go to the conference room. “And that over there is the conference room. That’s where we do most of our big meetings and important stuff. That concludes the tour, if you have any questions please don’t be afraid to ask.”

“Thank you so much, Selina. I will keep that in mind.” Y/N says, slightly laughing as the two walk to the conference room. “Now this is where I must leave you. I am very excited to be working with you.” She says, giving Y/N a comforting squeeze on the arm before walking away.

Turning to the door, they can see a few people in the conference room. All people They recognize. Tommy, Alé, and Zoe are the only ones in there so far. Taking a breath, they open the door with a kind smile, “Hello, I’m Y/N L/N. It’s nice to meet you.” They say as they walk in, catching the attention of the room.

“Oh, you scared me! I didn’t expect you already, it’s so nice to meet you. I’m Zoe.” Says the blonde woman, walking over to shake her hand. “Nice to meet you, as well.” They say as they walk to the table. “I’m Alé, welcome to Smosh. You impressed us with your interviews and work.” The CEO says and it makes their heart soar.

“That means a lot. Thank you.” Alé gives them a kind smile before they turn to Tommy. “Hello, it’s nice to meet you fellow social media person,” he says, a little hint of amusement in his voice. “It’s nice to meet you as well. I’m so excited to be here, honestly. This is a dream.”

“Okay, you don’t have to butt kiss anymore. You’re already in.” He jokes, making Y/N laugh. “It shouldn’t be too much longer until the rest are here. I think they’re finishing a shoot.” Alé says and Y/N sits down. They look around, not knowing where to sit. “I won’t bite, I swear,” Tommy says, patting the seat next to him.

They sit next to him and put their bag on the table. Pulling out their laptop and tablet, Y/N opens up the important stuff that holds their digital work, video ideas that her advisor said could come in handy, and some examples of videos she’s worked on for her classes.

A few minutes pass with the groups sharing small talk until the door opens. Looking over, Y/N feels nervous all over again as Ian and Anthony walk into the room with Erin D. walking in behind them. “So sorry, we’re late. The rest are coming in soon.” Anthony says before turning to Y/N.

Their eyes widen when he looks at them, not believing this is real again. “Well hello there, you must be Y/N. I’m Anthony.” He says, walking over with his hand stretched out. “I know, I’ve been a fan for a while. Thank you again for this, it’s a dream come true.” They say as they shake his hand. Ian chuckles while walking over, “We’re glad to have someone so talented on our team. Your work is amazing.” He says, shaking their hand as well.

“That means a lot. Y’all’s videos got me through years and years of homework and projects.” They say, laughing a bit. “Well, we’re glad to have helped,” Anthony says as the door opens again.

This time Shayne and Courtney walk in and behind them is someone who makes her heart race for a different reason. Her breath halts when Spencer walks into the room, dressed in a jean jacket, button-down, rolled jeans, and boots. His curly hair was held back by a cap on his head. 

The three sit down together, across from Y/N and Tommy. “Okay, everyone is here. Thank you all for coming. Today we are welcoming a new addition to our office for the summer. Y/N L/N is coming to us from across the country and is currently in their senior year of college. Welcome, Y/N.” Alé says and the room claps.

Tommy motions for them to stand up, “Uh, hi. I didn’t expect to say anything but I’m Y/N, if that’s not obvious. I’m a social media management and multi-media production major. I’m a little nervous being so far from home but excited to be here for the summer.” They say, a shy smile on their face as they look around the room.

Their eyes stop on Spencer who is looking at them with a soft expression. The kind he has when he’s listening to people, the same one they’ve seen in many videos. “It’s very exciting to meet you, Y/N. Welcome to the team.” Courtney says, a kind smile on their face.

“Yeah, I’m excited to see what you can bring to the games channel,” Spencer says, keeping his eyes on them as they sit down. “Yes, thank you for bringing that up Spencer. Y/N, we have looked at the stuff you’ve done and from what you’ve told us plus input from your recommendations. You’ll be mainly helping with the gaming channel.” Alé says.

“Really? That’s so cool.” Y/N says, a smile bright on their face. “Yeah, so you will work with Tommy and me mostly to get things done,” Spencer says and they nod. “Okay, I think that’s all we have. This was just a meeting for you to get to know a few people, mostly the ones you will be working under.” Zoe says.

“Okay, sounds great.” Y/N says, an optimistic smile bright on their face. Everyone stands up, those who already met Y/N leave while Shayne, Courtney, and Spencer stay behind.

“So, Y/N, what have you done at college besides your degree stuff?” Courtney asks, wanting to get to know the newbie more. “Well, I am a part of my school’s esports team. We’re still kind of new but have done pretty well. I also was on the university paper but I stopped so I could do my internship.” They explain.

“That sounds super cool, you must be a good gamer to get on an esports team.” Shayne acknowledges. “I try, it’s not something I do all the time. Mostly for fun and I kinda joined because of my ex but that’s a long story.” 

“Ah, the things we do for love.” Courtney reminisces, “I think you will fit in great here. I know Trevor will be happy to have someone close to his age.” Spencer jokes. “I’m super excited, this is honestly a dream. I’m not even sure I’m awake right now.” Y/N confesses.

“I think I know how we can break that. Since it’s your first day, you can sit back and watch how things go then we’ll throw you into the deep end tomorrow.” Spencer says, his eyes never leaving Y/N. “Ooo, that sounds scary. Fun, but scary. I like it.” They say, perking up and putting their bag on their shoulder.

Courtney laughs as they wrap their arm around them, “You are gonna be perfect here.” They say as they all walk out of the conference room.

❀﹒cotton candy skies (cotton candy skies by esthie)

sim jaeyun (jake) x fem! reader﹒genre honestly just fluff , mutual pining, best friends to lovers etc ﹒word count 1k﹒warnings you being scared of rejection, holding hands, cuddles, hugs, kisses, i think that's all! (finally breaking my hiatus with a jake oneshot 😖)

"cotton candy skies, why can't you be mine?"

"you're like the moon, i'm chasing after you."

you knew jake ever since high school started, when he moved in right next door. your parents invited them in with open arms, inviting them for dinner. that was the first time you ever met him.

it was clear he tried to talk to you, but you were too shy to even make eye contact. the moment dinner was over, you excused yourself to your room.

although, you had to speak to him eventually with your family always inviting him over. the first time you both spoke was when you went to kitchen for a glass of water during a movie night and he followed.

he smiled at you, finally introducing himself and apologizing if he scared you at first. you couldn't help but admire his features, did he always look that pretty?

"no i'm sorry i didn't speak...i was just scared." you quietly spoke, avoiding eye contact but you could feel his stare. "it's okay! maybe we can be friends now?"

you look up to finally see him, his eyes were sparkling, he was glowing.

this was the start of your growing feelings for him.

you both stuck together in high school. he tutored you, you tutored him, you both always hung out together.

jake was popular, meaning there was always girls wanting to be in a relationship with him. somehow it made you a tad bit insecure and jealous. knowing how those girls were beautiful and you really had no chance, making you drown out your feelings even more.

jake always kindly rejected the confessions, saying he doesn't feel the same and someone already has his heart. that sentence always tore your heart, you would look down at the floor, fidgeting with your hands. you never noticed when jake always said those words, he was looking at you.

your friends always tried to make you confess but you denied your feelings, saying you don't harbor any feelings for him. what if he rejected you? you didn't want to risk the friendship.

now, senior year just ended and summer began. the moment you and jake graduated, you noticed he began to become more touchy. as in holding your hand, hugging, or even cuddling. not that you didn't like it.

you both are now by your pool and jake was getting the floaties out from the outside closet. your parents was away from home for a little vacation, leaving you alone with jake.

"ouu, the unicorn! i forgot about this one [name]!" jake beams, showing you the unicorn inflatable. you giggled, grabbing it from jake and throwing it into the pool.

"hey! i wanted to jump in with the unicorn!" he said to you, crossing his arms. you didn't respond, looking at him smiling. he was beaming, he had a small tan, his hair fluffy. how can he be your best friend?

"is there something on my face?" jake asked, and it snapped you out of your thoughts. "oh no! i was just thinking about how we should order food." you utter, fidgeting with your hands. you quickly went to your phone, going to uber eats.

jake looked at you with admiration in his eyes. he wanted to confess so bad but he never had the right moment. he was always interrupted. you guys had very close calls, almost kissing or confessing but backed down.

you both spent the day with such fun, having a water ballon fights, water guns, swimming races, watching movies, just being with each other was enough for you both.

in the silence of the night with the faint playing of music, you both were still outside on the same unicorn floatie watching tiktoks. you were laying on his chest and he was holding your phone. the pool lights were on, and the moon was shining brightly tonight. jake couldn't focus on the tiktoks. he could only focus on you.

"[name]...?" he mumbles, and you hum back. "can i say something?"

you sit up, looking at him. your heart was thumping. jake sat up, his thumbs fidgeting with each other. "i waited 4 years to say this, and i feel like this is just so right. [name], i really like...no love you. ever since i moved in next door. i could never take my eyes off of you. you're always on my mind. when we aren't together, i miss you so much, no other girl could ever compare to you. please [name], let me be your boyfriend."

he looked up, making eye contact with you. you were shocked, after so long, he actually felt the same towards you as well? you smile at him sweetly. "of course. i thought it was always one-sided but i'm so happy you feel the same."

jake hugs you tightly, and you hug him just as tight. he breaks off the hug, just to admire you. putting his palm to your cheek, holding it. sooner or later, jake softly puts his head against yours. you both were just looking at each other. "can i kiss you?" he softly says, and you nod.

you both close your eyes when jake leans in fully to kiss you. his other arm going around your waist to hold you closer, scared as if you're going to disappear. the kiss leaves you both breathless and flustered. jake smiles letting go putting his fists up into the air. "[name] is finally my girlfriend!!!" jake shouts out loud, making you laugh.

"hey [name], guess what?" he looks at you, smiling cheekily. "yeah..."

suddenly, he pushes you into the cold water. "JAKE? what the fuck! the water is so cold!" you yell, while he laughs at you. "you're sooo getting pushed in." you declare at him and his laughing stops. "hey! hey! i have your phone! you can't!"

you swim, quickly grabbing your phone and placing it on the outdoor chairs nearby. you look back to see jake trying to paddle away but you swim under to flip the floatie, making him fall in.

"oh my god, it is cold!" jake cried out, and you giggled. he swam to you, hugging you and you wrapped your legs around his waist, hugging him back.

"we can always warm each other though." you feel jake smile against your neck and you couldn't have it any other way. you really love him.

tell us something you've always wanted an excuse to tell us! if you don't have anything in mind (or need another q), who's your favorite anpanman side character?

This is such a nice question. (For the record, my favorite anpanman SIDE characters, so not baikinman, are the kabuki radish, the train, and....old baikinman.)

Now for something i've ALWAYS wanted an excuse to tell you guys...that's actually kind of hard because I run my mouth so often here. BUT, since I made a whole post singing the praises of orbulon (and ashley for some reason), I will thusly use this as an excuse to celebrate my favorite weirdgirl in cartoon history.....

MISS MONA

Miss Mona is a force to be reckoned with. The ultimate bastion of eccentricity, she is unapologetically herself; never will she ever tone herself down for someone else. Even when she is slightly diffident about presenting her "strange" games, she usually follows it up with "i worked hard on these, so you BETTER LIKE IT." And she's right. You better.

Continuing in that vein, she is a connoisseur of all things strange and offputting. Wario is her fashion icon, "moth and beetle larvae" are her favorite animals, and she's made like ten snot-related microgames.

In fact, the beetle and moth larvae should honestly be their own bullet point, because you know how much I fucking love beetle and moth larvae. (i think her favorites are dermestid beetle larvae and woolly bear caterpillars)

The fact that she is so unperturbed by the strange and offputting is also part of what makes her such a damn nice person. Mona is a friend to all. There is no one too weird, too antisocial, or too actively hostile to her personally that Mona will not welcome with open arms. She is a very popular person and that's because she goes so out of her way to make everyone feel included. She is even the first one to attempt the impossible task of befriending Ashley - that alone says A LOT about her character.

That also makes the times when she's not so nice all the funnier and more refreshing. Mona loves Wario, but she also absolutely will not take shit from him. She is always the first to berate Wario for being greedy and selfish, even when she's a little hypocritical about it...

6. She is a Girly Girl, which is not only unusual for this type of character, but also is not tacked-on just because she's a girl; all of her "girly" interests further serve her characterization. She loves fashion because she's so enthusiastic to express herself. She's a cheerleader because she loves intense athletics and yelling really loud. She loves "cute things" because to her a maggot is cute. She's not "girly" because she has to be, it's just a natural progression of her character. And she's OK with that!

7. So many of her microgame descriptions in Mega Microgames have puns in them which is the highest form of humor:

8. She is a DAMN HARD WORKER. She's doing all those jobs ON TOP OF being a high schooler, AND her extracurriculars, AND warioware. I always think it's weird when people say that Mona couldn't possibly be a teenager because she drives and has a job, because not only does that not make any sense, but to me she is the quintessential embodiment of an overachieving highschooler. Take a break girl!!!

9. We have the same music taste

[butt0nzz66]

So I’ve seen a few posts and felt the need to respond because what. The. Fuck. Why is it to defend Colin you need to tear down Penelope?

There is obvs a lot of discourse going around about the ‘entrapment’ comment and honestly I don’t have an issue with it. He is hurt and lashing out. Someone else posted that when you are best friends you know exactly how to hit eachother where it hurts and that’s what they both did Penelope with her Colin LW takedown and him with this comment. That doesn’t mean they don’t love one another if anything the opposite.

However some people in their defence of Colin have been acting like their first time together was a planned entrapment to get pregnant by Penelope because she knew if she didn’t he would have left her?! I’m sorry what?! Did we watch the same show? Like Penelope isn’t an evil mastermind she is a 19 year old girl who had to develop an alter ego to feel seen by those closest to her and who just found out the love of her life feels the same after saying ew no thanks the season before. Then fulfills her wildest hero fantasy’s saving her from portia and shows her “pleasure she never thought possible”. Not to mention the overwhelming fear she feels of loosing the only person she has left she feels close too. So was she wrong not to tell him right away. Yes obviously. But 1. The writers obvs weren’t going to do that for the sake of drama. 2. She didn’t plan to get banged and knocked up on a couch she didn’t even know how it bloody worked and was swept away with her overwhelming feelings same as him. Seeing as they BOTH KNOW you should not be banging before ya wedding in 1815.

She try’s to give up her true passion in life of writing to spare him the hurt(misguided but his own sister told her to do the same!) then is constantly apologising from the minute he finds out, doesn’t ever downplay his feelings and when she sees the impact her secret has on her new family she puts her head on the chopping block of the queen AND THEN OFFERS HIM AN OUT WITH THE ANULLMENT and the risk of being ruined and pregnant alone(not convinced she knew before the butterfly ball) What more do you want?

In the same way Colin takes time understands his feelings and learns to accept every side of pen and support her not save her. And makes a beautiful and honest confession of love admitting his envy and understanding Pens love for him is as unconditional for him as his is for her.

Which is whyyyy it was so important that the LW secret came out because it knocked both of them off each others pedestals and to see the not perfect lovey dovey side of eachother so that they can build back up to form a very real kind of relationship.

The idea that one of them is the villain is ridiculous and something I see so much online. It’s a hero/villian blame game. Instead of 2 young people who love eachother more than anything else but make mistakes along the way. Ultimately they know their love is worth fighting for. And that’s all that matters.

I’ve 100% come around on part 2 now and can understand it a lot better. I would still love those extra scenes of reconciliation which I feel would have balanced the angst better however we can live in hope series 4 will have that in spades. Same as the adorable kathony scenes(would have loved more of these tbh but Johnny schedule is packed, love this man being booked and busssy)!

That’s what best friends are for.

Bestfriend!iii x F!reader

Another long one soz I’m obsessed with this man. This time we have your bestie iii taking care of your pleasure after one too many failed dates with men that just ain’t cutting it.

Tags/warnings: bestfriend iii, fingering, sex toys, overstimulation, hand kink, praise kink, size kink, mirror fuckin, multiple orgasms, unprotected sex (don’t do this pls), no use of y/n, oral (F receiving), cockwarming

************************MDNI***************************

“What an absolute waste of time” you muttered to yourself unlocking the door to your home. This had been the first date of many you had been on and it started to feel like you’d never find anyone you connect with.

Yeah your date was physically attractive and thank god you didn’t get catfished this time, but as soon as you started talking you just knew you didn’t align at all. In fact most of the dinner, you found yourself thinking of iii and how much you’d rather be spending your Friday night with him.

There had been a few men here and there over the past few months but it never got serious and they never lasted more than a few weeks. Not to mention they never really met your needs and as soon as they’d leave you’d often find yourself having to take care of yourself instead.

As you entered the home you shared with your best friend III, you noticed he was in the exact same position you left him in, playing COD with IV, Vessel and II. It was Friday night after all and every Friday was COD night for the boys.

You never complained though, it was always so funny listening to them get so riled up together. You smiled to yourself seeing him how he was - sitting way too close to the TV, his headset on, surrounded by beer cans, he hadn’t even noticed you had got back yet.

You threw your bag on the couch and walked over to iii still in your heels and dress “you boys and that bloody video game I swear” you laughed and took his headset off.

“Where did you come from?! You honestly scared the shit out of me” iii laughed and stood up from the ottoman he had scooted closer to the TV.

“Sorry!” You smiled up at him, his height still towering over you despite your heels.

“I’ll be right back boys!” iii spoke into his headset.

“You look bloody beautiful I must say” iii looked down at you his eyes glassed over clearly from the staring at the TV for hours. You rolled your eyes and smiled at him “you’re buzzed but thank you I’ll take all the compliments I can get right now.”

You moved towards the couch sitting down to take your heels off sighing in relief. iii stood there watching you his eyes moving towards your cleavage spilling over as you bent over taking your heels off, there was softest in his tone “what do y‘mean love where is this lover boy of yours hmm?”

“Another disappointment to be honest we kissed but god was it awful and I felt absolutely nothing.” You watched him as he came to sit on the couch opposite you. He looked so cozy in his sweatpants and hoodie you couldn’t deny how badly you wanted to feel his arms around you.

“I think your body will definitely tell you if you have a connection with someone or not love.” iii shifted in his seat, you noticed his eyes raking over your tight dress a bulge appearing beneath his sweatpants. Oh.

“yeah definitely…I mean every guy I’ve been with these past months they haven’t even made me…well.”

“cum? Yeah I know”

You looked at him in disbelief blush rising over your cheeks.

“What do you mean you know?!”

“We do share a wall you know? It’s nothing to be embarrassed about love they’re the ones that should be embarrassed if it were me…shit I’d fucking do anything to make you cum.” iii froze realising what had just slipped out of his mouth his heart beat in his ears.

Both of you didn’t speak a word for what felt like minutes.

You broke the silence clearing your throat “how did..how did you know I didn’t…finish…with anyone I’ve brought around?”

iii shifted forward his arms resting on his knees “well I doubt you would be using your vibrator all night long by yourself once they’d left, if they’d fucked you right.”

You look at him with your mouth wide open in shock. “look I try not to listen I really do, but I must be honest, it can get difficult not to when you make such pretty noises. Amount of times I’ve wanted to come in there and show you how good I could make you feel…countless.”

Your heart raced and your breathing became heavier “iii we’re best friends you can’t..you can’t be saying these things to me.” You tried so hard to push down how badly you wanted him right now but it was impossible especially with the wetness and throbbing between your legs. There had been countless moments you had these kinds of thoughts about iii, shit, most times the only way you could cum was thinking about him even though you knew it was wrong.

“What are best friends for if not to make each other feel good?”

You swallowed hard and crossed your legs desperate to make the ache stop.

“You’re aching for me aren’t you?” iii’s eyes were heavy and overcome with lust as he watched you squirm. It’s true, you had never craved someone the way you did him even though god it felt so wrong.

“I can make you feel good love just this one time and we can go back to completely normal we’re just friends nothing serious or tell me to stop and we can completely forget all about this.”

“iii…” you sighed his name.

“Don’t say my name like makes me want to leap across this couch and take you now.”

“Fucking hell just do it!”

Barely a second after you spoke iii’s lips were on yours his tall height bending down to kiss you. You stood up to meet his kiss his big hands moving over through your hair and down your body to your waist like he was memorising and savouring every inch of you.

“Jump for me darling.” iii groaned at the feeling of the wet patch on your pink see-through panties pressing into his hard on under his sweatpants his arms holding your legs around him.

“Going commando I see?”

“It’s a Friday night love.”

“I love it when you don’t wear anything underneath those grey sweatpants drives me insane.”

“Oh trust me I’ve noticed.” III gave you a cheeky grin.

“You’re such a tease you know that?”

“Says you! Always in your white tops with no bra and pyjama shorts that barely cover your ass!”

“Are we going to keep bickering or are you going to make me cum?!”

“I do love a bit of banter but definitely the second thing” between the teasing and bickering you hadn’t even realised that iii had walked both of you to his bedroom as he laid you down on his bed, your head pressing into the pillow beneath you. It smelled like him and god you loved how good his cologne smelt. You sat up on your elbows watching him take his hoodie off your heart beating in your chest.

“Stay right here. I’ll be right back love.”

You moved to the edge of the bed dangling your legs off anxious for him to come back and noticed a large mirror opposite you on the door. Where on earth did he go?

The door opened and iii walked in holding something in his hand.

“Is that…is that my vibrator?!”

“Yeah, never used it with anyone before?” iii put it on the bed.

“No actually I haven’t…no ones ever wanted to.”

“God these men sound terrible.”

You rolled your eyes “okay! You’ve made your point.”

iii giggled and kissed your lips “you sure about this love? We can stop this all right now and forget all about it?”

“No. No I want this. I want you.”

iii smiled at you. “Come here love let me get you out of that dress.” You weren’t used to men being so gentle with you, so attentive and receptive to what you needed. It made butterfly’s swarm in your stomach as you felt iii’s long fingers slowly zip down your dress his lips kissing along your shoulder as he did so. He helped you step out of it and stood back to take in the sight before him. You were standing in front of him in your matching pink sheer mesh bra and panties you swear you saw his cock twitch under his sweatpants.

“My god you are so fucking beautiful.”

You stood there with your hands in front of yourself blush rising your cheeks again. “I dunno I....”

“No none of that. Yes you are. Come here.” iii’s hands roamed to your waist as he brought you closer to him your breath hitched as you met his gaze his beautiful blue eyes heavy looking into yours. His hand came to your cheek as he moved in closer to your lips slowly and passionately kissing you his tongue licking into your mouth. You moaned into the kiss pulling him closer to you your hand on the back of his neck.

iii moved you both to the edge of the bed as he sat down pulling you on top of his lap. You straddled him grinding down against his cock moaning against his lips. “Fuck I can feel how wet you are through your panties.” He moved his hips up to meet yours his hands on your waist, grinding his cock against your aching pussy.

“Turn around for me baby. Look at yourself. Look how fucking hot you look grinding on my cock.”

iii’s hands rested on your thighs his big hands splayed across them kneading your soft skin as you ground down against him your hips circling his cock. He moved your hair to the side kissing up and down your neck as he made eye contact with you through the mirror.

His hands moved from your thighs up to your breasts taking them both in his hands and rubbing his fingers over your hard nipples his lips still kissing licking and sucking on your neck.

“Oh god iii”

“Mmm feel good baby?”

You moaned in response as he pulled down your bra throwing it across the room with one hand the other resting between your thighs pushing your legs apart further. You ground down on him harder arching your back and laying your head back onto his shoulder as he continued pinching and rolling your nipple in his fingers his other hand slipped into your panties.

iii groaned in your ear “doing so good for me. Can’t wait to feel how wet you are.” His long fingers dipped into your wetness his cock twitched beneath you as he felt how wet you are “fuck. Such a naughty girl getting so wet for her best friend huh?”

You moaned at the feeling of his fingers coming up to your swollen clit as he circled it in painstakingly slow circles. “Mm sound so pretty need to hear more of those love.” Your breath quickened as he fastened his pace circling your clit moans falling from your lips as your head hanged back on his shoulder your legs shuddering and spreading open further.

“Going to cum for me pretty girl hm? Haven’t even had my cock yet and already going to cum? You look so fucking hot look at you watch yourself.”

iii brought his other hand from your breast to your chin making you watch you both through the mirror you blushed at the sight. Your wetness was seeping through making a mess over his grey sweatpants where no doubt his own precum was leaking through.

His heavy eyes were transfixed on you. “So fucking beautiful.” Your gaze dropped to his hands down your panties. You always loved his big veiny hands the sight of them where you’ve always craved them and the feeling of him expertly rubbing your slick over clit making it oh so easy to fall over the edge of your continuously building orgasm. You could feel his cock pressed up against your aching core desperate to feel him inside of you.

“Oh god yes please-” You grabbed the back of his neck desperate to hold onto something as your climax ripped through you moaning his name. You came hard grinding against his hand and cock beneath you. iii moved your head to the side kissing you and grinding up into you moaning into your mouth as you came his fingers still rubbing your clit slowly helping you to ride out your orgasm as long as possible.

You whimpered as you felt his fingers leave your clit your vision still blurry as he lifted you up off him placing you on the bed behind you both. iii moved over top of you his hands coming to your legs moving them apart to rest himself between you. You reached for his waistband. “Not yet pretty girl. Want one more and then I’ll make you cum around my cock.”

You watched him through your heavy lids as he kissed his way down your stomach his hands splayed over your lower stomach. He looked up at you as he kissed your sensitive clit through your panties.

“iii please still s-so sensitive.”

“Mm I know I know baby it’s okay gonna make you feel so good.”

iii hooked his fingers in your panties sliding them down your legs and throwing them across the room.

You brought your knees up moving your legs further apart for him.

“Fuck. You’re dripping.” iiis cock ached in his sweatpants as he saw your slick pussy glistening just waiting for him to fill you up. Your breath hitching as you felt him pull you towards his face burying himself in your pussy like a starved man.

He licked long stripes from your dripping hole to your clit lapping up your arousal and coating your clit hungry to taste you. Your hands found his hair pushing him against you grinding against his tongue, your head thrown back as you got lost in the feeling of iiis tongue licking kissing and sucking your clit. His name and curses repeatedly falling from your lips as his long fingers were now pushing into your entrance and stretching you out where you so desperately needed his cock. You clenched around his fingers as he pumped them in and out of you, to then be replaced by his tongue fucking your pussy his nose rubbing your clit.

His fingers suddenly replaced his tongue as he rubbed through your folds slowing down his pace. You looked down at him desperate for him to quicken when you saw him take your g-spot vibrator turn it on and push it into you pumping it in and out slowly.

“Feel good bunny?”

“Oh fuck-oh god yes” you moaned and ground down onto the vibrator meeting his thrusts as he quickened pumping it in and out of you, your wetness squelching and your pussy clenching around it his tongue back on your clit kissing sucking and lapping quickly. Your orgasm built quickly as the vibrations and angle hit inside of you just where you needed it mixed with iii’s moans against your clit caused you to cum so hard again. Your hands gripped his long hair as you kept him pressed against your pussy iii fucking you through your high with your vibrator. You screamed in pleasure writhing underneath his hold as your second orgasm washed over you.

“That’s it such a good girl for me.” iii removed the vibrator from inside of you placing it on his bedside table. He moved your hair from your face placing soft kisses over your cheek and forehead. “Feeling okay?” You nodded at him opening your eyes bringing him down to your lips the taste of you on his lips making your head feel dizzy.

“You taste so fucking good I could spend hours between your legs.” iii said against your lips kissing you. You smiled at him and tucked a strand of his hair behind his ear running your thumb over his lower lip.

“You know I thought about that every night I’d masturbate”

“Oh really now?”

“Yeah, always made me cum thinking about you filling me up or your tongue on my clit.”

“Such a dirty girl aren’t you? thinking about her best friend fucking her to make herself cum.”

“Don’t lie and say you hadn’t thought the same thing.”

iii moaned as you palmed at his aching erection. You knew he was big just at the sight of him through his pants. You had heard all the stories from his previous partners and the boys themselves always used to joke that he was as long as he was tall, which you knew to be true when you’d accidentally walked in on him in the shower before.

You moved his sweatpants down freeing his heavy leaking cock. He was even bigger than you remembered. You bit your lip as you stared down at his size. iii gripped his cock unable to stop himself from stroking himself a few times aching to feel you wrapped around him. His balls were heavy as you cupped them in your hand tugging gently and placing your other hand on top of his as he stroked himself between your legs slowly. iii moved the tip of his cock through your folds your wetness coating him, your legs jolting as he ran it over your clit. You swear you could cum again just like this.

“iii please. I need you inside of me.”

iii moaned and moved his cock down to your entrance pushing into you slowly. You both moaned at the feeling his head hanging forward over you. “Oh fuck you’re so tight.” His size stretched and filled you to the brim as you throbbed around him. He stilled in you as he bottomed out in you, your clit pressed up against him as you adjusted to his size.

“Oh fuck you feel so so good iii”

iii started moving in and out of you as your legs wrapped around his waist your hands in his hair his hands either side of your head as he thrusted into you. His eyes baring into yours as he groaned at the feeling of you clenching around him.

“Pussy feels like heaven. So wet and tight and fuck-feel so good around me“ iii’s lip came back onto yours as he lifted your thighs pressing them up against you his hands wrapping around them to hold them in place. You moaned feeling him stroking a spot in you that made the knot in your stomach grow again your pussy clenching around him. iii quickened his pace moving his hand to softly place around your throat as his fingers on your jaw moved your face to look at him. His other hand came between you to rub your clit, your thighs pressed up into his torso. Your brows furrowed, your mouth open with a desperate plea spread across your face as your breath quickened, whimpers and curses filling the room as you came close to your climax.

“gonna cum for me again my pretty girl hm? So fucking sexy. Gonna cum all around my cock? Gonna cum all around your best friends cock? You like how good I’m fucking you? Feels good where I’m stroking huh? Can feel you clenching around my cock.”

“Yes, yes, yes, yes oh God iii.” You moaned as your legs shook under him. iii continued to fuck you fast and hard your pussy clenching and milking his cock you felt him twitch in you as his thrusts became erratic and sloppy. Your orgasm ripped through you as iii filled you up with his cum rutting himself into you as he continued to fuck you through your orgasm and his own thrusting his overstimulated cock into you his cum dripping out of you.

“Oh fuck that’s-fuck-you made me cum so much.”

iii leaned down and kissed you his cock still hard inside of you. You grabbed the back of his head and kept him down on you once again exploring each others mouths your arms wrapping around his back holding him against you. iii went to pull himself out of you. You held him in place with your thighs locking him in.

“No. Just a bit longer.” You pouted bringing him down to your lips again.

He kissed your lips softly and smiled.

“Made me feel so good.” You whispered against his lips.

“That’s what best friends are for.”

So this... wasn't what I planned... anyway...

One sided Halsin x Tav, one sided Gale x Tav, Astarion x Tav. Jealous gods, oblivious bears, and a certain someone barging in to make it all about him. Of course. 18+ spicy spice

'Let all time slow, let all light go, I don't need to know where we begin and end, I'd still know you not bein' shown you, I only need the workin' of my hands. Do you understand?' - De Selby part II, Hozier

‘Tav,’ Halsin’s warm, deep voice floated through the crowd of her friends, gathered in the balmy evening. Woodsmoke and flowers were heavy in her nose, the sweet headiness of red wine on her tongue curling inside her head to a pleasant cloudiness. She turned, a little unsteady, to find the druid gazing at her with soft, adoring eyes. She could fall into their honey gold depths if she wished, getting him drunk on wine and fucking languidly in the open air. Tonight held that kind of magic. She held the last memory in her mind, verdant green and hazy.

*

Six months ago, stood in the ruins of the High Hall, her friends gathered. Despite assurances to the contrary, Tav knew none of them expected to survive what was coming. Each of them prepared in their own way. Karlach was all relentless energy, itching for one last fight. Wyll spoke quietly with his father, their hands clasped as they stared down the battlements at their city on fire. Minsc, Boo and Jaheira were sprawled against a wall, sharing a bottle of wine. Shadowheart and Lae’zel were stood side by side, sullen.

Astarion paced like a caged cat, hands behind his back, eyes on his feet. When she reached for him, his eyes rose to meet hers. They were unguarded for once, deepest red, and scared. He was the one to pull her in. ‘You survive this,’ he murmured into her hair. ‘You hear me?’ ‘You’ve got it,’ she said, breathing deep. She’d remember the scent of his clothes for as long as she lived, be it hours or years. Citrus and herbs and brandy depth and death. ‘We’ll get out of this. We have to.’

‘Don’t worry, darling,’ he said, sounding for all the realms like he meant it, ‘if you die, we’ll just have to march into the fugue plane and get you back.’

She felt tears come. ‘Yeah, well. You stay on your feet too. You’re so whiny when you’re bleeding out.’ He smiled at her, gentle and almost wistful. ‘See you.’

‘See you,’ he echoed, watching her leave.

‘Hey,’ she said, approaching Halsin. ‘I just wanted to say that I-’

‘I’m sorry my heart,’ he said, looking anxiously down at her. ‘There’s no time. We have to go.’

‘…Oh. I just. I thought that maybe we should say goodbye, just in case-’ She wanted him to take her into the shelter of his arms and kiss her. One last kiss, if it would be so, or one of many more, but he would not hear it.

‘There will be no goodbyes today,’ he said gently. ‘Go. I will see you on the other side, sweet one.’

‘Right,’ she said, feeling her heart splinter in her chest. ‘Yeah.’ She turned toward the exit, to face the horrors head on as she’d always done. Deep breath.

‘Wait.’

Not that voice. Anyone else and she might’ve been okay, but not him. He reached for her hand, turned her to face him.

‘Gale…’

‘Now, I know,’ he said, lifting his hands in that endearingly disarming way of his. ‘We’re not together anymore, and that’s fine, but…’ He smiled. ‘I’d be a pretty awful friend if I just let you go off to this fight without saying something, wouldn’t I?’

‘Gale, it’s fine honestly. We’re going to be fine. I’ll see you on the other side, yeah?’

‘It’s an honour to fight alongside you. You believed in me in a way nobody else did. Nobody but Tara I mean, er… well. You showed me what I had to live for. And for what it’s worth, Tav, I…’ Swallowing hard, his voice cracked. ‘I miss you. A lot. And I love you. Of course I do. How could I not?’

‘You’ll be thrilled to hear my boyfriend just brushed me off, then.’

‘Not remotely.’

‘Are you with me, Gale? Are you going to be able to focus and fight this battle alongside me?’

‘Of course.’

‘And will you give up the crown?’ Her words hung between them. ‘I adored you. So much. But your ambition, it… it poisons everything you touch. Leave it, Gale. Please. If you love me, truly, do this for me. This one thing.’

The light in his eyes went out. ‘You know I can’t lie to you, Tav. Not to you.’

‘I see,’ she said. She suddenly felt unreal, like her knees would give beneath her or her soul would fly away. ‘Well. I suppose the only thing left to say is good luck.’

*

‘Hi, Halsin,’ said Tav coolly. ‘I hope the last six months have been treating you well.’

‘They have,’ he said, seemingly oblivious. ‘There are many orphans in the surrounding environs who need homes. I’ve set up a shelter, of sorts. I never got to be a father as you know, but… I think I’ve found my purpose, finally.’

‘I’m happy for you,’ she said in a sweet voice that wasn’t quite sincere.

‘How about you, my heart? How have the last six months been for you? I must say, I missed you terribly.’

‘They been fine,’ she said. ‘You should have a drink, hmm? I’ll find you later.’ How can I really tell you what it’s been like? There’s no way you would understand. She decided to tell him nothing, retreating to the far side of their old camp, down by the lake and out of sight.

*

She’d searched for him, in the aftermath. Under the rubble and the blood, the cooling bodies and faces strange and familiar, she’d been frantic, scanning everywhere she could for a scrap of fine purple fabric. Finding nothing, she retreated from the city, finding solace in an isolated cottage in the Cloakwood. With Karlach and Wyll in Avernus, Shadowheart living with her parents, and Lae’zel on a crusade against the lich queen, Tav had nobody left. Even Astarion had had to retreat into the dark.

She settled into life there just fine. Slowly she created a small herb garden, her kitchen smelled sweet and fragrant, and she adjusted to sleeping alone. Couriers brought letters from Jaheira with the city’s progress, Shadowheart checked in occasionally and on those days, she brought Scratch and they’d reminisce, bittersweet.

And then the dreams started. Looming into her consciousness she heard Gale’s voice again. It had lost the warmth it once had, instead turning strangely metallic and cold in quality. ‘Tav,’ he said, appearing in utter splendour. He was all rich robes, bright, terrifyingly blank eyes, and skin that had gone silver. ‘I miss you.’ There was no feeling in it. She had the memory of it tucked in the back of her mind. The way his voice would morph from cheery and silly to meltingly seductive, it was all gone.

‘I looked for you,’ she said. ‘After. I thought you were dead.’

‘No.’ His voice echoed in her head. ‘I became something better.’

‘I loved you, Gale. The man you were. Not this.’

‘You left me,’ he said. Even his anger was flat. ‘You could’ve ascended, Tav. I wanted to bring you with me.’

‘I can think of nothing worse.’

‘You’ll understand in time, perhaps. You won’t ever be far from my sights, not with your ambition.’

‘Let me go,’ she begged. ‘Please.’

‘Strange as prayers go.’ He almost smiled. ‘I cannot grant it. I’m sorry.’ His words were hollow, ringing false with every godly breath.

He visited nightly from then on. He would simply be on the periphery of her consciousness, a ghost of a memory.

Every night except one.

Months into the ordeal, she lie wide awake in the dark. He would not come if she was awake, because he was a coward. His human courage had fled him, filling the void of him to the brim with arrogance and apathy instead. So dark became her day, and the last joys she had felt leached away. Leave me, she would pray upon waking. Torment me no longer. Haunt me no more. He never listened, only shored up his domain with her desperation.

A stirring outside perked up her ears. Rising cautiously, she padded to the window, tried to peer into the dark. She percieved an eerie silence; the night was usually so full of life, birds and the chittering of small rodents and the rustle of leaves… it had all fallen away.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

‘What in the nine hells?’ she asked aloud. Nobody had knocked on her door for months. She crept to the door, slowly reached out, and turned the handle, revealing the last person she’d expected to be at her door. ‘Astarion?’

He stood before her, looking furious. ‘Darling, do you know how long it took me to find you? Do you?’

‘I-’

‘I looked for you. After. I thought you were dead.’

Tav stood, jaw slack, staring. Hearing her own words echoed back at her- the words she’d spoken to her new god, because he was, however reluctant she was about it, he had claimed her- sent her reeling. ‘Fucking hells.’

‘You have to invite me in,’ he said dryly. ‘I’ll warn you though. If you do you are in for it.’

She held his gaze. It was almost a challenge, his feline eyes narrowed. ‘Come in.’ She took a step back, he a step forward, over the threshold. He reached out a pale hand to close the door. She held her breath. ‘Of all the people to knock on my door I wasn’t-’

‘Quiet,’ he breathed. She bit her tongue and waited. ‘I told you. You had to survive this. I was going to find you after. I’m sorry I didn’t get to.’ His eyes flashed. ‘I thought you’d be with Halsin.’

‘Oh you know,’ she said, trying to keep things light. ‘He found his calling helping orphans. I’ve always been a bit too much of a bastard for that kind of thing.’

‘He broke your heart,’ he said pointedly. ‘I heard him, you know. He just brushed you off.’

‘It’s fine, really. He’s happy, so-’

‘But you’re not,’ he said, taking a step closer. ‘Come here.’ He reached out to take her jaw in his hand, appraising her appearance. ‘You’re not sleeping.’

‘No,’ she admitted.

‘The least you could do is tell me why.’

‘Gale.’

‘Gale?’ His nose wrinkled in distaste. ‘I thought you broke up with him.’

‘I did. I’m not talking about the Gale we knew, Astarion. I’m talking about a god.’ Hot tears welled in her eyes. ‘He won’t leave me alone.’

‘Tell me.’

‘I’m his chosen, Astarion. There’s nothing I can do about it. It’s not like I have anyone who would-’

‘You have me.’

‘I didn’t finish my sentence.’

‘You don’t need to. You have me. I didn’t come and find you out of the goodness of my heart, you know.’

‘Well then why-’ He didn’t let her finish her sentence. He kissed her so violently her back hit the wall, her little ‘ooph!’ of surprise swallowed up by his tongue cool in her mouth. She pulled back in shock, though they were still nose to nose, sharing breath. ‘What the fuck?’

‘Oh darling, keep up. I’m in love with you, isn’t it obvious?’

Her mind was reeling. There was Halsin, who seemed to have forgotten she existed, Gale, who haunted her every dream and whispered promises of power if only she would just surrender, and then…

‘Tav.’ He took a shaky breath. ‘Say something.’

‘I’m… surprised, that’s all,’ she said faintly. ‘Not that I don’t want-’

‘Yes?’ He was losing patience.

‘Would it be wrong?’ she asked. I honestly don’t know.

‘Oh, almost certainly,’ he said. His voice was cheery, but his eyes were boring into hers. He was serious. ‘I mean, if you want to go back to Halsin, feel free. I’m sure he appreciates you the way you deserve.’

Anger reared in her chest. ‘Don’t be a bastard, Astarion.’

‘If that hit a nerve, ask yourself why.’

He was so close. It was muddling her thoughts, the smell of him. ‘Gods preserve me,’ she said, leaning up to close the meagre distance between them. She could feel him smiling into the kiss this time, his hands moving to gently cup her face.

‘Gods have nothing to do with it,’ he whispered when they broke apart. ‘Fuck the gods. I just want you.’

‘Then have me,’ she said. ‘On every surface in this house.’

‘You little freak,’ he said, deft fingers divesting her of her sleep clothes.

‘Cheat. That’s not fair.’ She pouted. He grinned wolfishly and threw his own clothes on the pile, his pale skin gleaming in Selune’s light.

‘Do you have any idea how long I’ve waited for this?’ he asked.

‘Absolutely none. I’m sure you’ll make up for it.’

‘Damn fucking right, I will.’ He put his expertise to work, nimble hands and soft mouth and sharp teeth. He knew just where to touch to make her feel lightheaded with pleasure, just how to play her body to make her beg, what to whisper to make molten heat crash through her. Not a word of it was false. He pressed delicate kisses to her nose, her cheeks, even her ears, making her giggle. He made her scream his name into the silence, and she felt the god of ambition bristle with every stuttering breath and sigh muffled in the vampire’s flesh. They fucked and rested and fucked again.

And then the light began to change.

‘I have to go,’ he said between kisses. ‘I’m sorry. I’ll come back.’

And then Astarion was gone, and Tav was alone with his scent on her skin and Gale’s rage inside her head.

To be continued…

✨ 8 Days until my Surgery ✨

I'm very very excited for my surgery (it's my second gender affirming surgery but this one is more significant to me since it'll be top and bottom surgery) and I'm obviously counting the days until it and I thought some people might be interested in my trans journey. So see part 3 below the cut

You can read part 1 here

So, we're now entering the era of a lot of firsts for me. I lost my virginity and then started dating the person who's currently my fiance 🥰. Also, I got my first job (as a pizza cook), moved in with my partner, and went to my first concert (Amigo the Devil). This was when I first started feeling like an adult and a real person tbh.

I remember hating that job bc I would get misgendered constantly 😒 It was take a few years before I was consistently gendered correctly and there are still random moments where I get misgendered but it's pretty rare by now.

Besides my mom, my partner has been my biggest supporter and had a big influence on who I've become. Also they accepted their nonbinary identity shortly after we started dating so our transitions are intertwined.

This was also the part where a lot of physical developments came. Like, I remember going from wearing breast forms constantly to my developing boobs getting too sore to wear at all. Also I loss a lot of weight. I thought that was because of the estrogen but that was more because I stopped taking antidepressants. Honestly wish I could gain some weight back 😅. I was also developing my personal style as you can see below. It's funny how I defaulted to a very basic repeating outfit pre-transition to discovering I did have a sense for style, just only with feminine clothing lol.

(pictures taken between Dec 7th, 2020 and September 14th, 2021)

This was definitely my era of using filters a lot. There's nothing wrong with using filters (it's kinda like easy makeup imo) but as I started dealing with dysphoric traits, the desire to use themlessened.

Also it was around this time I went to simply she/her pronouns. I remember my friend I should use whatever pronouns make me happy and she/her did when they/them felt neutral at best. And this was when I finally felt like I "deserved" to call myself a woman.

In the next update, I started loving my body 💕

[bubbipond]

My favorite part of this episode is the rewards they gave each other, mirroring different needs. Dee asked that, if he does well, Yak go to therapy.

That's the one thing haunting him; because of it, he can't fully be present in boxing, with his brother, or in relationships with Dee or Taem. He can't make up his mind solely because he sees himself as a disappointment to those he cares about. With Taem, he's stayed on the sidelines never really crossing over that friendship threshold.

He sees her as someone above him and so her loving someone on her level makes sense to him. With Dee the same thing applies, there is already another player, and that player has things in common with Dee. That's why it was so easy for Doc Ter to get in his head. Meanwhile, with his brother, we see he is never fully honest with. Cher knows more about Yak's life than Yei and that's due to the constant fear of disappointing Yak. Whereas we see Cher shows that there isn't anything Yak can do that would lead him to feel that way.

I'd argue that, in the way Kao is Dee's sounding board, Cher tends to be Yak's.

Then with Dee, Yak asks for his first kiss. I won't say that the notion Dee has is ridiculous, he should do what feels right to him. But, as we have seen, he does want to give it to Yak but he is scared of repeating history. Which he is doing already. Keeping Yak at arm's length like he did with Ter. Like Kao said, Dee tends to make things difficult for himself when the answers to his questions are typically very obvious. And Dee does this a lot to people, keeping them mostly at arm's length which is why he only has one friend. In retrospect, holding onto the kiss isn't about keeping it for his one true love, it's about guarding himself. That is one less thing he gives to someone who may not love him back. He didn't even give it to Ter who he has been pinning after for 8 years. Logically, if holding the kiss was all about true love and security, Yak should've been the last to get it because there is no security in their current status. But instead, he does give it to Yak because he trusts Yak completely and knows even if they aren't for each other, Yak is still someone who cares for him on a personal level.

Honestly, I am just waiting for them to bond over their dead parent trauma and realize they are one and the same.

OH WHY I THINK YOUD EAT A FLOWER NOT WHICH FLOWER YOUD EAT I CANT READ

Idk it’s something about your vibe. You feel like me, and I eat plants with reckless abandon, so you would probs eat one, like it, eat all of that one, then maybe a couple others since you’re already snacking.

Very very true!! I think you got my personality pinned down tbh. I used to eat flowers, mushrooms, bugs, and pinecones when I was a kid, so why not now?

I'm also a vegetarian so you got that going for you too!

[purgatory-jar]

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

Feel like making people miserable today. Anyways, here's Gon experiencing like. Textbook symptoms of trauma in the CAA, in case there was any lingering doubt about this or anything:

Initial denial that the experience happened or was traumatic

[ID: A screenshot from episode 85 of HxH 2011. Gon, eyes bright and with a smile, says "Kite is alive!" End ID.]

Flashbacks

[ID: Two screenshots from episode 95, and a third from episode 110. In the first, Kite's arm is shown in the foreground, bleeding and blurred. In the second, a close of Pitou's wide eyes, looking animalistic. In the last, puppet Kite's mangled and scarred face stares emptily ahead - the scene is greyed out. End ID.]

Intense distress at real or symbolic reminders of the trauma

[ID: Two screenshots from episode 116. In the first, Gon's fist can be seen in the foreground, with Pitou shielding an unconscious Komugi just barely seen. The narrator says "The girl lying before them brought back". In the second, Komugi has a medical respirator on. The narrator continues "images of a broken Kite to Gon's mind". End ID.]

Physical sensations such as pain, sweating, nausea or trembling

[ID: A screenshot from episode 116. Gon's fists slam into the ground as he says "That isn't fair...". Sweat drips down his arms. End ID.]

Extreme alertness/hypervigilance

[ID: A screenshot from episode 116. Part of Pitou can be seen in the foreground as Gon stares at them intensely, crouched on the ground with his arm resting on his knee, obscuring his lower face. End ID.]

Angry outbursts or other extreme behaviour

[ID: Two screenshots, one from episode 116, and the other from episode 127. In the first, Gon shouts "Is something wrong with you?!" as his face contorts with rage. His aura floats black around him. In the second, Gon, his face shadowed eerily with thin lines, says "The next time you try to delay me, I'll kill her." End ID.]

Feeling like you have to keep busy

[ID: A screenshot from episode 94. A close up of Gon's face from the side as he says "I want to focus on my training." End ID.]

Doing things that are reckless and self-destructive

[ID: Three screenshots, one from episode 95 and the other two from episode 131. The first is stylized as a black outline of Gon's figure over a background like parchment or a projector - he's been hit in the face and sent to the right from the force of the blow. The second is a close up of Gon's face, almost completely shadowed, with intense and vacant eyes - he says "I don't care". The third continues with a close up of his eye filling with darkness - "if this is the end..." End ID.]

Feeling like nobody understands ("since it means nothing to you")

[ID: A screenshot from episode 116. In a whitish-room with a crack on the wall between them, Gon stands ahead of Killua, facing away from him. They are both in shadow. End ID.]

Ignoring offers of help and shutting out loved ones... poor Killua :(

[ID: A screenshot from episode 136. A spotlight on both Killua, in the foreground, and Gon, walking away from him in the background. Killua thinks "I wanted you to ask for my help in defeating Pitou!" End ID.]

Self-loathing, self-punishment, and lack of self regard

[ID: Three screenshots, two from episode 110 and the third from episode 131. The first is a close up of Gon's face over Morel asking "When would you try to hurt yourself?" The second is a continuation. Morel looks down at Gon who is facing away from the camera as Gon replies "When I couldn't forgive myself." In the last, adult Gon, staring ahead, is animated in black and white with the only colour being the blood from the stump of his right arm. His left hand grips his shoulder. End ID.]

Blaming yourself for what happened

[ID: Two screenshots, one from episode 95 and the other from episode 130. In the first, Gon hugs puppet Kite around his waist. In the second, Gon stares blankly ahead with tears streaming down his face as he thinks "I killed Kite." End ID.]

Overwhelming feelings of anger, sadness, guilt, and shame
