Ciri, quietly pondering to herself: â Do not let him know how awkward you are. â
Roche: Nice weather.
Ciri: Oh, thanksâ. . . What?
You know what, I can totally see Ciri falling for this guy

I mean I know nothing about his personality or skills, but he has a motorcycle. I approve of this Witcher x final fantasy ship! Maybe. Idk. Like I said I literally know nothing about him and I refuse to do more than an image search. Anyway he looks like heâd be awkward too! I donât write for either of those fandoms, so Iâm not taking that as a prompt.
#roche ff7#cirilla fiona elen riannon#Witcher x final fantasy#if that is not ff7 Roche Iâm sorry#pls donât blame me blame Google#anyway please stop bothering me#write your own rare pair fics#you know who ships voltehre x SchrĂśdinger?#me I do#so I wrote my own fics for it and screamed at my friends#but I never bugged people to the point of annoyance about them#listen I have created three Witcher rare pairs with help#you will get no sympathy from me#i have to underline with help#thank you one who actually did 75% of the heavy lifting#I just went âhey what ifâ#buckle down and write your own fics#stop annoying people with asks#and then maybe people will stop hating the ship so much#to all the non Witcher people seeing this:#this person has been spamming Witcher blogs with anon asks about this ship for a very long time#and even when ignored or reported or whatever#does not stop#and weâre all kinda sick of it at this point#anyway this is like the 5th or 6th one Iâve gotten#usually I just delete them but Iâm in a bad mood today

finally sat down to sketch henry of skalitz, blacksmith's son, and his lord, hans capon of pirkstein from kingdom come deliverance
#kcd2#kingdom come deliverance#henry of skalitz#hans capon#i like giving my own style/details to characters. helps with not feeling too weird about drawing the actors#and i like how they turned out#i've got some thoughts so i'll quickly go through them#obviously i like the idea that henry has gone through some shit and it shows in his eyes especially#so i gave him noticeable eye bags. and also scruffier hair#kind of taking inspiration from both games. the 'wetter' look of the first and the more wavy look from the second game#i also really like the asymmetrical smile on henry a lot. and the dimple. lmao#as for hans he's clearly less marked by time and experiences. in turn. while he should be extremely careful to his appearance. and he is#i like to give movement to his hair (which i also made slightly longer). to underline his tendency to being free and kinda energetic#also i'm sorry but if i can go ham on eyebrows being not tidy and full i can and will go ham on them#and i love henry's eyebrows a lot. boy has been thrown and dragged around a lot and he doesn't have the time to fix much and that's fine#because i love him#my art

Howdy Pia đââď¸
I saw your previous ask to that other anon. You've mentioned many times that you prefer writing longer works where you can be more detailed with characters and release chapters gradually.
So I was wondering if you've ever considered reworking Blackwood and The Gentle Wolf or even Tradewinds too into serial format and sharing them to ao3?
Do you think it would be easier since there's already huge chunks of the stories written and adding them to the posting rotation could free up some of your writing schedule? Or harder because it would require rereads and editing?
Omegaverse is popular on ao3- even original omegaverse so I think you could end up with more readers and engagement.
I know you're planning to work on other stories after the Underline universe but I would totally read Perth Shifters and Tradewinds again in serial form if that's what you did and I think ao3 would suit them better anyway. đ§Ąđđđđđ¤
Hi anon,
I really hate rewriting stories so this wouldn't be happening. As it is, the edits of Game Theory have been going for 10~ years to give you a good idea of how motivated I've been to get that fully original enough for publication, lol.
And I really liked writing Game Theory.
My writing Underline the Rainbow is actually my version of turning omegaverse into a serial! So I'm already doing it :D
On top of that, I don't want to be writing omegaverse forever and I'm not an 'omegaverse author' (no more than I'm also a fantasy author, contemporary author, etc.) Once this is over, I'm turning to other genres, much like I came from other genres! I don't really care that omegaverse is popular on AO3 (it's actually very controversial and frequently in the big statistical surveys is simultaneously or also in the top ten most hated and disliked genres - and I have lost some of my longest-time readers because I'm writing omegaverse, which sucked!), lots of things are popular on AO3, and 'more readers and engagement' has never been my primary goal in writing - it's nice and a needed thing, but if that was the only thing I focused on or my primary goal, I would not be doing this at all, actually.
#asks and answers#perth shifters#underline the rainbow#underline the rainbow literally uses a lot of the perth shifters worldbuilding#including hormone terms etc.#and does the 'serial version'#of what i wanted to write in the first place#so you know i'm already doing it anon#just not with those specific characters#and that's good because those specific characters have already had their happy endings#but yeah i'm also not here just to get readers + engagement#like yes that helps me pay my bills#but i have and will continue to choose things *not* for that reason#in fact i knew when i committed to the Underline universe#i'd lose some readers and i did sadfklfjsad#and i know when i finish this series i'll lose the 'omegaverse only' readers#such is life

did i ever tell yall about the fact that i used to cry over not being a single-celled organism
#camera talks#this was 6-7th grade#and around one of the first bad depressive slumps for me#and i think i Genuinely had underlining issues with it bc i really didn't want to feel anything anymore#therefore i should have been a single-celled organism#anyways it was like a whole thing i was. an interesting child#<- nd and no one liked me lmao#but my science teacher knew about it too and it was like a joke between us#anyways was thinking about that again ig. i dont feel like that rn in fact i feel very good <3#other than my stupid migraine which is stopping me from being happier :(#so i think in some universes im a single-celled organism that doesn't get migraines ever and they're sooo cool#(also i think this was an inherently nd moment for me in middle school but anyways)#(most of my friends actually don't know about this either it was kinda a me thing (my cousin knows iirc tho <3))#okay thinking about middle school is bad for me and my migraine is not helping anything sooo byeee have fun with this information mayhaps#might delete later im tired and dontttt know if i make sense at all#<- mgirainae

To completely make the blogs...I need all their usernames. So far I've collected:
@darknesswon
@watcher-of-anime
@money-now-plz
@nutella-enjoyer (the username you used was taken)
@y0urworstnightmare
@raddad-foxman
@official-moondrop
@official-sunrise
@prince-of-all-saiyans
@lil-kc-official
I NEED:
-Dark Sun
-Neptor (if you have him)
-Dazzle (if you have her)
-FC (if you have him)
-Rez (if you have him)
-Gemini (if you have them)
-Taurus (if you have them/him)
-Francis
-Frank
And...any other character. My dumbass forget em. If you don't have em, just tell me.
-the mod of literally every single blog of your usernames
All the usernames and mentions I've come up with below the cut :P because why not
Some of them include tumblr usernames, but those are old. I used to make tumblr post edits that were similar to the twitter ones, but those actually required more work, believe it or not. Sticking to fake twitter post edits was a lot easier in the long run



I sadly don't have anything for Francis, Gemini, Taurus, or Dark Sun. Or Dazzle for that matter. My logic is that Dazzle probably wouldn't be on twitter since she's a kid, and that any astral bodies probably wouldn't know how to work twitter. Or the internet in general, really
#anon#asks#have fun with these#ik its a mess but i bolded and underlined things#in an attempt to make it less of an eyesore for you and everyone else#HOPEFULLY that helped a little#these are tame#if they were rp au universe edits they'd be a lot wilder

GODS I just finished We Both Laughed in Pleasure. If youâre able to (especially if youâre a transfag or otherwise trans and mlm/nblm/etc.), please do totally read this. It was beautiful absolutely, itâs crazy to see the differences in our existing now and then with only like 30 years difference between his last diary entry and now, yet all the similarities in feelings and experiences. The love and care that Lou received from his family, and especially the support he gets in his transition and then through his time with AIDS, is something Iâm so jealous of + something I am so channeling/praying for now and forever
#obviously Iâm not. jealous of the AIDS part. but#his Catholic family in the 60-70-80s was loving and open and helped him every step he needed#like girl weâre non-religious and in 2024 yet my worst case scenario is I get kicked out#and while thatâs unlikely. itâs kinda not.#it was a beautiful book and put together by the editors with such care ugh amazing#now I gotta go back through and highlight/underline specific lines because I. forgot. while reading#got too caught up#but now there are just a bunch of dog ears on the bottom corners so gotta go fix that lmao#ordered Transgender Warriors (Leslie Feinberg) from the library very excited to read that next#got a new system going where I have one fun book (ATYD Pt.1) a classic (David Copperfield) and a non-fiction (just finished awaiting anew)#cheeseâs reading#cheese speaks#we both laughed in pleasure#lou sullivan#(scheduled to post)

Poooooor Efnisien!!!! I want Henton in a locked room with the Augus from Smoke in Autumn. Fuck you, Henton!!!!!!
I did have a moment of like 'I wonder what Augus in Smoke in Autumn would do with Michael Henton' and actually landed on 'probably nothing, actually.'
I don't think Smoke in Autumn Augus really cares what other people are doing to people he doesn't care about. I don't think he has that much of a moral compass. At most he'd be disgusted and like 'why do I have to be in a room with this pathetic fool? If you're going to be a rapist, at least do a good job of it. Although, well done on your target, he's tasty indeed.'
*coughs* I really don't think Smoke in Autumn Augus is the secret justice-based hero you're wanting, anon!
#asks and answers#this is why we have underline augus helping out instead#underline the black#michael henton#augus each uisge#smoke in autumn#i have been noodling on this one for like a week#and i am very sorry to say#that i think smoke in autumn augus is the most likely#of all the auguses#to actually *help* michael henton not get caught next time#administrator gwyn wants this in the queue

last night the local news ran a story about how more stores like dollar tree are locking up more products behind cases to prevent shop lifting; every item shown behind the case were things like deodorant and toothbrushes
#the focus of the news story was how doing this would deter 'honest paying customers' but the whole thing was very telling#at the very least they had an economist come on and say that any increase in shop lifting#is due to the shit economy and the pandemic#which isn't much but i feel it helped underlined a 'people don't shoplift Just Because they do it because they have to'

ââ
you donât even realize youâve stopped breathing until the number on the page blurs in front of your eyes. the red ink bleeds through the letter like itâs been branded there on purpose, like itâs taunting you. bold, underlined, and cruel: payment past due. the amount is higher than you thought. higher than last month. higher than whatâs sitting in your checking accountâand your savings? nonexistent. your fingers twitch around the edges of the paper, and you stare at it for a few seconds longer, as if maybe if you look hard enough, the numbers will shrink, change, disappear entirely.
but they donât.
your hands move slowly, almost disconnected, as you place the letter down on the edge of the kitchen counter. the paper crinkles beneath your fingertips, the sound sharp in the quiet of the apartment. you rake your fingers through your hair, dragging your nails gently across your scalp, trying to ground yourselfâtrying not to panic. itâs not working.
you donât have time for this. not now. not with finals looming, two shifts left this weekend, and rent due in five days.
the sound of approaching footsteps makes you flinch.
âeverything okay?â nariâs voice is soft, cautious, like she already knows the answer. she probably does. she always does.
you donât look at her. not yet. you feel her presence behind you, hovering by the counter, hesitating. she picks up the letter carefully, and you hear her breath catch as her eyes scan the contents. thereâs a beat of silence before she speaks.
âitâs more than last month,â she says, barely above a whisper.
you nod, still not meeting her eyes. your throat feels dry, your heart pounding behind your ribs like itâs trying to escape. the shame tastes bitter in your mouth.
âi canât pay it,â you finally say, voice flat. âi barely made it through last monthâs bill. and now theyâve added more fees.â
itâs not new. this has been happening every few months. random charges. late penalties. service increases you never agreed to. and no matter how many hours you work or how much sleep you lose, it never seems to be enough. you thought you were managing. thought maybe you were finally getting ahead, even just a little. but here it isâproof that youâre still drowning.
nari places the letter back down and moves to stand beside you. she doesnât speak right away. her eyes flick toward you, soft with concern. sheâs been your roommate for over a year nowâsomeone you met through a shared thread on social media venting about overpriced meal plans and the bullshit cost of dorm laundry. back then, you were both strangers trying to navigate the mess of college life with nothing but broken bank accounts and coffee-stained syllabi.
now, she feels like family.
youâve always admired how gentle she is, how thoughtful. she worries without smothering, helps without asking, gives even when she barely has enough for herself. you hate how easily she sees through you.
âiâm so sorry, y/n,â she says gently. âlet me help. i mean it. just this once.â
you squeeze your eyes shut. youâve had this conversation before. more than once. every time the bills show up with too many zeroes or your bank app sends another low balance alert, she offers. she always offers. and you always refuse.
because this is your responsibility. your education. your choice.
you never wanted to drag her into the mess you made just trying to survive.
ânari, no. itâs fine,â you say, brushing it off the same way you always do, even though nothing about this feels fine. âiâll figure it out. iâll⌠find another job or something.â
another job. the words sound ridiculous even as they leave your mouth. youâre already balancing two. your body aches at the thought of adding a third, your schedule stretched so thin it feels like one missed alarm could unravel everything.
nari doesnât argue. she just stands there, looking at you with wide, worried eyes that say more than her words ever could.
you turn away.
you donât want to see that look. donât want to see the guilt in her expression or the way her lips part like sheâs about to say something she knows you wonât let her finish. instead, you press your palms flat to the cool countertop and try to slow your breathing.
you canât keep doing this. living check to check. sacrificing sleep, time, your sanityâonly to still come up short.
âlet me help find you one, y/n. at least let me do thatâŚâ her voice was quiet but firm, laced with the kind of gentle urgency that made it hard to ignore. she pulled out one of the kitchen chairs and sat down beside you, her knees bumping yours softly as she reached for your hands.
her fingers curled around yours without hesitationâwarm, grounding, comforting in a way that made your chest ache.
âyouâll get out of this before you know it,â she said, her thumbs brushing over your knuckles. âjust hang on a little longer.â
the words shouldâve felt like encouragement. to someone else, maybe they would have. but to you, they barely registered. her voice echoed distantly in your ears, dulled by the weight pressing down on your shoulders. you wanted to believe her. you really did. but there was only so much hope could do when your brain felt like it was unraveling thread by thread.
you were tired.
not just physicallyâthough that part never seemed to go awayâbut mentally, emotionally, in a way that left you hollow at the edges. your thoughts were messy. loud. overwhelmed with numbers and due dates and rejection emails you didnât have the energy to open.
youâd always wanted more for yourself. a degree. a real future. stability. success. the version of adulthood that didnât involve counting coins at the bottom of your purse to buy groceries. being able to chase something you loved without sacrificing everything just to survive.
and yet⌠here you were. still stuck. still drowning.
âiâll talk to my friends,â nari added, her voice picking up as she stood again. âiâll ask around, see if any of their jobs are hiring. you donât have to do this alone, okay?â
you blinked up at her, too tired to protest, too drained to offer anything back. you barely nodded.
she didnât wait for an answer. instead, she gently tugged you to your feet and led you toward your room, her hands guiding you like muscle memory.
âjust hurry,â she said over her shoulder, already halfway down the hall. âget ready before youâre late.â
you let the door close behind you, the soft click echoing in the quiet space, and leaned back against it for a second too longâbreathing in slow, like maybe it would help ease the burning behind your eyes.
but it didnât.
âŚâ˘âŕšâ
⯠âŻâ
ŕšââ˘âŚ
you canât hear yourself think anymore. the noise presses in from every directionâmuffled conversation, the beep of the register, shoes skidding across tile, the mechanical whirring of the blender as it screams through another drink. the scent of syrup, espresso, and sweat mixes into something youâre far too familiar with by now. it clings to your clothes, seeps into your hair, follows you home every night and lingers even after youâve scrubbed your skin raw.
your apron feels too tight around your waist. the name tag keeps flipping over, catching on your shirt. your hands ache from repetition. your back stings from bending, twisting, reaching for things without stopping. your legs burn, but you keep standing. because if you stopâjust for a secondâyou donât know if youâll start again.
youâve lost count of how many customers youâve helped. they blur togetherâfaces that donât really look at you, names that repeat too often, voices that never say please. someone spilled a drink ten minutes ago and just stared at you like it was your fault. someone else snapped when you misunderstood their order and then smiled like it never happened. youâre used to it. too used to it.
the blender screams again, and you find yourself zoning out, eyes on the flashing light of the machine, ears ringing. you place a sweaty cup down on the counter just as your coworker brushes past you, muttering something, her voice barely registers.
âweâre out of cold brew, can you let the manager know?â she says, breathless.
you nod without thinking and duck into the back, weaving past crates of milk and mop buckets that havenât been moved since your last shift. you find herâyour managerâhovering near the inventory shelf, tablet in hand, expression unreadable. she looks up when she hears you but doesnât say anything. just waits.
âweâre out of cold brew again,â you say softly.
her sigh is immediate. clipped. already annoyed. âi told the morning crew to prep more.â
âthey didnât,â you reply, just as soft.
she exhales again and gives you a glance that feels like a warning. âmake a new batch. and try to keep the line movingâweâre backed up out there.â
you hesitate, shifting your weight from foot to foot, unsure if nowâs a good time. but you donât have a choice. not really.
âhey,â you begin, voice lighter than you feel, âi was wondering⌠if you had any extra shifts next week? i could take one. or two. anything that opens up, iâll take it.â
you see it the moment her expression changes. not enough to be obvious, but enough that you feel it in your gut. she blinks at you once, slow. âyou already have four shifts on the schedule.â
âi know,â you say quickly. âi just⌠if anyone drops or calls outââ
âiâll let you know if something comes up,â she interrupts, sharper now. âbut weâre fully staffed right now. youâre already lucky to have the hours you do.â
lucky.
that one stings.
you nod like it doesnât bother you. âokay. thanks anyway.â
you turn back toward the front before she can see the heat crawl up your neck. the shame, the frustration, the quiet burn of helplessness that never seems to leave you alone. it coils tight in your chest as you slide back behind the counter, the overwhelming noise greeting you like a wave to the face.
you move through the orders on autopilotâpour, cap, swipe, pass. your body knows the motions. it always does. even when your brain doesnât catch up. your arms are heavy. your thoughts are too loud.
your phone buzzes in your apron pocket.
technically, youâre not supposed to check it during a shift. but you do anyway, slipping your hand inside just enough to pull it out, eyes flicking to the screen beneath the counter.
nari: i have something to tell you.
you pause.
your breath catches in your throat.
the message is short. way too short. there are no emojis, no dramatics, no little additions she usually throws in to make you laugh. itâs clean. intentional. unsettling.
you type back fast.
you okay? whatâs up?
your fingers hover over the screen, waiting. no immediate reply. no typing bubbles. just silence.
you slip your phone back into your apron, heart racing nowânot from caffeine or exhaustion but from something else. dread, maybe. anxiety. it curls low in your stomach and spreads like smoke, slow and sickly.
the hours bleed together until they donât feel real anymore. itâs like you blinked and suddenly the sky was dark, the register was silent, and your shift was over. you donât even remember clocking out. your body moves on instinct as you grab your things, slinging your bag over one shoulder, feet dragging slightly with every step. youâre too tired to even complain out loud. exhaustion sits heavy on your shoulders, weighing down every bone like bricks. every joint aches. your eyes sting from the fluorescent lights. your muscles are tight, sore, stretched too far. and the worst part is knowing youâll have to do it all again tomorrow.
the walk home is a blur. you barely register the passing cars or the hum of traffic. your legs are on autopilot, your thoughts too noisy to settle into anything coherent. by the time you reach your building, your fingers fumble with the key from how badly theyâre shakingâwhether from fatigue or stress, youâre not sure.
the moment the front door swings open, youâre greeted by a sudden, high-pitched sound that makes you flinch.
âoh my god, y/n!â
nariâs voice rings out before you even step fully inside. she appears from around the corner, practically bouncing on her feet as she rushes toward you with wide eyes and a wild grin.
âi think iâve secured something for you!â she announces proudly, reaching to help you with your things without waiting for permission. your bag slides off your shoulder with her help, and she carefully sets it down on the couch before turning to face you again.
you blink at her, too tired to match her energy, voice low and worn. âhow so?â
the contrast between your tone and hers is starkâhers bright and excited, yours soft, raspy, touched with exhaustion that even you can hear.
âokay, so,â she starts, already walking toward the kitchen like sheâs been waiting all day to spill this. âi was talking to one of my classmates earlierâcasual stuff, whateverâand she would not shut up about this app sheâs using and this guy sheâs obsessed with on it.â
you follow her slowly, the smell of something warm and savory pulling you forward. dinner is already set out, steam curling up from the bowls on the counter. sheâs cooked again. you donât even have the energy to thank her properly, but it sits in your chest like a quiet comfort.
âshe said itâs this platform where you can post contentâvideos, mostlyâand people follow you, tip you, subscribe to see more. apparently, itâs easy money if you know how to catch attention,â nari continues, grabbing utensils and placing them gently next to your bowl.
you lean against the counter, brows slightly furrowed as you try to keep up.
âwhat kind of videos?â you ask slowly.
and thatâs when she pauses.
her hands still for a second, and you notice the subtle way her eyes flick to the sideâtoward the fridge, the floor, anywhere but you. she busies herself wiping down a clean countertop, her mouth tight, like sheâs carefully choosing what not to say.
the silence stretches just a little too long.
you narrow your eyes. ânari?â
she still doesnât look at you, her fingers now fiddling with the corner of a napkin that doesnât need adjusting.
and thatâs when you knowâwhatever sheâs about to suggest, itâs not exactly a regular part-time job.
you donât say anything. not at first.
you just watch her fidgetâher hands smoothing the same wrinkle over and over again, her mouth parting like she wants to say something but canât figure out where to start. her excitement from earlier has dimmed slightly, not completely gone, just⌠more careful now. the shift is subtle but itâs there, and you feel it tighten something in your chest.
your voice is quieter this time. gentler. âwhat kind of videos, nari?â
she glances up at you for a split second, then looks away again, reaching to stir a pot that isnât even on the stove. sheâs stalling.
finally, she exhales, turning back to you with both palms pressed to the counter.
âokay, so⌠donât freak out.â
you stare at her.
âitâs⌠kind of a subscription thing,â she says, slow and cautious. âlike, you post contentâjust whatever youâre comfortable withâand people tip you for it. sometimes a lot.â
you donât speak. not yet. you just let her keep going.
âmy classmate told me she made almost five hundred dollars in one weekend. literally just from one post. and this guy she follows? apparently he makes thousands. like, thousands. maybe even millions.â
your mouth is dry.
âwhat kind of content?â you repeat, even though you already know the answer.
nari bites her lip. her eyes finally meet yours. âsexy stuff,â she admits. âbut it doesnât have to be all out. it can be suggestive. artistic. faceless, even.â
you blink at her. once. twice.
the silence between you stretches until itâs not silence anymoreâitâs tension. thick and heavy, sitting right in the center of the kitchen with both of you tiptoeing around it.
âitâs not as intense as it sounds,â she adds quickly. âshe said she started small. built her page up over time. and no one from school found out. not even her roommates.âyou sink into one of the kitchen chairs, your arms resting limply in your lap. you donât say anything yet. youâre not even sure what you feel.
nariâs eyes soften as she watches you. âi know it sounds⌠out there. but i just thoughtâi donât know, maybe itâs something you could look into. just to hold you over until things get better.â
you nod, but itâs slow. not agreementâjust acknowledgment.
youâre too tired to argue. too drained to pretend the idea isnât already crawling under your skin, planting itself somewhere dangerous.
because the truth is, youâve heard of it. everyone has. whispered about in late-night dorm conversations, on private stories, in anonymous confessions posted on spam accounts. girls making rent money in a weekend. boys going viral for being faceless and filthy and addictive.
you never imagined doing it yourself.
but then again⌠you never imagined being this broke, either.
you stare at your untouched bowl of food, heart thudding softly in your chest.
youâre not disgusted. not even shocked.
youâre just⌠thinking.
and that scares you more than anything else.
âŚâ˘âŕšâ
⯠âŻâ
ŕšââ˘âŚ
you tell yourself youâre just looking.
thatâs it.
just a little more scrolling. just a few more profiles. youâre not doing anything. you havenât made an account. you havenât posted. you havenât committed to anything except curiosity, and thatâwell, thatâs harmless, right?
you open your laptop again. itâs sometime past midnight. your room is dim, the only light coming from your screen and the soft amber glow of the lamp tucked in the corner of your desk. it casts everything in that moody, late-night hue that makes the whole world feel quieter. heavier.
you pull your knees up to your chest, the blanket draped loosely over your shoulders as the homepage loads. itâs different now. youâre not looking aimlessly anymore. you know what to search for. you type top creators, and a list appears almost instantly.
you click one.
@heefreakshow. verified. 5.2 million subscribers.
his profile loads, and itâs exactly what you expect. polished, but not too polished. his display photo is somewhat dark and grainy, a half-lit frame of his bare chest, chin tilted up just enough to be teasing without giving anything away. the banner across the top reads: âi donât just talk dirty. i make you feel it.â
his content is locked, but the previews arenât.
you hover for a moment, your thumb pausing above one of the thumbnails before tapping it without thinking. the video opens in a small window, looped, muted at first, but it doesnât matterâwhat pulls you in is the way he fills the frame. it starts with a soft hum of music, low and bassy, vibrating faintly through your speakers as the camera tilts upward from a dark-lit bed.
his chest appears firstâbroad, smooth, glowing faintly under the moody blue light. heâs shirtless, his skin flushed, breathing slow but deep. the camera dips, revealing his thighs spread wide and relaxed, and the hard, unmistakable bulge straining through his pants. your breath catches. the fabric looks tightâtoo tightâlike itâs fighting to contain him. you can almost feel the pressure through the screen.
his hands trail over his torso, slow and lazy, fingers dragging along the curves of his stomach, tracing the line of muscle before resting on the waistband of his pants. his face isnât fully visibleâjust the faintest shadow of his jaw, a teasing sliver of his bottom lip. the only thing clearly captured is his hair: pink, messy, soft-looking and slightly damp, like heâs just run his hands through it too many times.
and then he moves.
his fingers slip down, unbuttoning his pants with quick, practiced ease. the zipper lowers with a soft click, and he pushes the fabric down just enough for his cock to spring free, already hard, tip flushed and leaking as it rests against his abdomen. his breath stutters slightly, chest rising as he wraps his hand around himself, stroking slowâdeliberate, like heâs savoring it. he tilts his hips toward the camera, giving you a better view, and you swear heâs looking straight at you even though you canât see his eyes.
his voice comes in a beat laterâlow, raspy, thick with arousal.
âi couldnât help myself, babyâŚâ
you feel something warm twist in your stomach. the words feel too direct, too personal. his pace quickens as precum beads at the tip, slicking over his fingers as he groans, deep and breathy, like itâs pulled straight from his chest.
his other hand rises, trailing over his stomach until it reaches his chest, fingers pinching at one nipple as his hips twitch upward. the reaction is instantâa quiet moan spilling from his mouth as his head tilts back slightly, lips parted in pleasure.
âfuckâŚâ he breathes out, barely audible between sharp inhales. âi want you here with me, babyâŚâ
you freeze, the weight of the moment crawling down your spine, leaving goosebumps in its wake.
you scroll down to the next name on the list.
@jayafterhours. verified. 5.3 million subscribers.
his banner is simpleâblack background, sharp white font. his bio reads: âdonât waste my time unless you can take it.â
you donât hesitate. you click.
the video loads instantly, and the difference between him and the last profile is immediate. thereâs nothing soft about it. no slow lighting, no teasing buildup. it opens straight into a scene already mid-motionâloud moans echoing through your speakers, fast and desperate, though none of them are coming from him.
the camera is perfectly framed, clearly placed on a desk, angled to capture everything without obstruction. a woman lies flat on her front, arms outstretched as her fingers curl over the edge of the wood. her legs tremble slightly, back arched, skin damp with sweat. behind her, jay moves with sharp, brutal rhythmâhis hands gripping her hips like he owns them, fingers pressing deep into the flesh as he drives into her hard enough to rock the table beneath them.
âsuch a fucking slut, arenât you?â he grits out, his voice low and full of gravel, each syllable landing like a slap.
his hand comes down suddenly to grip her ass, squeezing tight before delivering a sharp slap that makes her body jolt. the sound of skin meeting skin cracks through the room. she lets out a choked moan, broken and messy.
âd-donât stopâj-jay!â she cries, voice high, shaking as her nails drag along the desk surface for something to hold on to.
but you barely register her.
your eyes stay on him.
he doesnât look at the cameraânot directlyâbut the angle captures enough. his head is tilted back slightly, the veins in his neck prominent, his jaw clenched. his lips are caught between his teeth, biting down like heâs holding something back. thereâs a faint flush along his collarbone, sweat trailing down the side of his throat.
he isnât shirtless.
somehow, that makes it worse.
heâs dressed in a crisp white button-down, slightly wrinkled now, sleeves pushed up to his elbows. a black tie hangs loosely around his neck, the knot crooked like it was tugged halfway through the scene. it swings gently with the movement of his hips, adding to the rhythm, the sound, the image of him fully in control without even needing to try.
thereâs something terrifyingly composed about him. like heâs done this a thousand times. like nothing surprises him anymore. like the entire scene is unfolding exactly how he planned it.
and yet, despite the chaos, the noise, the cries echoing off the wallsâyou canât stop looking at him.
you donât hesitate when your eyes land on the next name.
@jakeoncam. verified. 5.5 million subscribers.
simple bio: âi like being watched.â
your heart skips slightly as you click on the preview, already familiar with the routine by now. and yet, nothing about this feels repetitiveâeach creator you've looked at so far has had their own way of pulling you in, but jakeâs feels⌠different.
the screen fades in slowly, no music, no buildup. just the soft creak of bedsheets and the low, wet sound of friction. heâs fully on display, his body stretched across a dark comforter, shirtless, skin glowing with a light sheen of sweat. the camera is placed at a low angle, perfectly capturing the curve of his back as he grinds down onto a pillow with messy, desperate rhythm.
his blonde hair sticks to his forehead in damp strands, a few pieces plastered to his cheek. his eyes are shut tight, brows drawn in deep concentration, lips parted as he pants softly into the mattress. his hips roll in tight, fluid motions, the muscles in his thighs flexing as he presses himself down harder into the cushion.
âfuck⌠iâm gonna cum⌠fuck, babyâŚâ
his voice is breathlessâhigher, whinier than the othersâand it hits you unexpectedly. itâs not performance. it sounds real. wrecked. like heâs been holding back for too long and is just now letting go.
he gasps softly, his pace stuttering, body tensing as the pressure buildsâbut the clip cuts off just before the release, leaving you blinking at your screen with your chest tight and your legs shifting.
you donât realize how long youâve been holding your breath until it escapes you all at once.
and you donât stop there.
you move onto the next one almost instinctively, driven more by something primal now. not even out of curiosity anymoreâneed. something about each of them feels increasingly personal, like theyâre not just performers, but something else. something closer.
@hoononrepeat. verified. 5.3 million subscribers. âif itâs not messy, i donât want it.â
you click, the motion smooth and practiced now. part of you knows youâre getting too deep, that this is becoming more than just research, but you donât stop.
his video starts mid-motion.
the frame is tight, focused completely on himâsunghoonâs hand gripping his cock, already soaked and shining with cum, sliding along the length with slow, deliberate strokes. his chest is heaving, his abs flexing with each movement. the lighting is dark, moody, barely enough to cast definition over his frame, and yet it still highlights every shift of muscle.
a silhouette appears at the bottom of the screenâa woman, faceless, mouth parted and positioned perfectly beneath him. her head bobs forward as he pushes his cock into her mouth without hesitation.
he groans, long and drawn out, his voice rough like itâs scraped from the bottom of his throat.
âfucking hellâŚâ
his hand buries in her hair, fingers curling tight as he guides her down, hips jerking forward sharply. the wet sound of it echoes faintly, almost drowned out by his ragged breathing. she gags softly, hands pressing at his thighs, but he doesnât let up.
heâs focused. lost. unrelenting.
âtake it,â he mutters, jaw clenched. âtake all of it, princessâŚâ
the words hit hard. not because of what he says, but how he says itâlow, commanding, almost personal. like he knows youâre watching. like the words arenât meant for her at all.
you feel your pulse thud somewhere low in your stomach. your fingers curl tighter around the edge of your laptop.
you should stop.
but you donât.
@watchmesunoo. verified. 5.4 million subscribers.
his page is simpleâlight pastel banner, soft text, almost misleading at first glance. but when the preview loads, thereâs nothing soft about it. it starts mid-action, no intro, no setupâjust raw, unfiltered need. his body fills the screen, the lighting harsh enough to highlight the tension in his muscles, the sweat slicking down his chest in messy trails.
his hand holds a small vibratorâslim, silver, and humming at a steady pace as he presses it along the length of his cock. itâs already hard, flushed dark and leaking, twitching visibly each time the buzzing toy runs over his slit. he slides it slowly, teasingly, from the base to the tip, circling it around the head before dragging it back down again. his hips jerk, his thighs tightening under the pressure.
his face is in view. fully.
his cheeks are red, tear-streaked, lips trembling with every breath. wet hair clings to his forehead in dark strands, and his eyes are glassyâshiny with desperation, the kind that makes your chest tighten just watching. he looks completely wrecked. beautiful in a way that shouldnât feel this intimate, like youâve caught him in something far too private.
âfuck⌠noonaâŚâ he whines, voice high and broken as his fingers curl tight around the bed sheets. âlet me cum⌠pleaseânoonaâŚâ
his hand trembles slightly as he lowers the vibrator, pressing it to the base of his cock as his other hand slides upward, two fingers dragging through the mess thatâs already smeared across the head. he rubs the tip quickly, desperately, almost like heâs punishing himself for how close he is. his back arches sharply, the line of his throat exposed, jaw slack as more tears spill freely down his cheeks.
âf-fuckkkâiâm cumming!â he cries out, voice cracking as his body jerks violently, hips lifting off the mattress.
you canât look away.
his cock twitches hard in his hand, and a thick wave of cum spills over his fingers, dripping down in messy strands that coat his palm and smear over his abdomen. his chest heaves. his thighs shake. he doesnât stop moving until his hand is completely soaked and his voice has faded into soft, hiccuping breaths.
youâre still staring, eyes wide, mouth parted slightly. the screen is glowing in the dark of your room, and all you can do is sit there, frozen, pulse pounding behind your ribs as the clip loops quietly again.
@wonsodirty. verified. 5.2 million subscribers.
his profile surprises you even more.
the name alone already catches your eyeâbold, a little cheeky, a little misleading. you expect something bratty, maybe cocky, something playful or reckless. but when the preview loads, itâs none of that.
itâs quiet. intimate.
the camera is placed at a low angle, steady, fixed on soft bedsheets that shift with every subtle movement. the lighting is warm and dim, the kind that wraps everything in a golden hue and makes skin look like silk. thereâs a soft rustling in the background, the sound of him breathing, uneven and slightly hitched.
he comes into frame slowlyâfirst his legs, then his thighs, spread slightly apart as he settles against the headboard. heâs not doing much at first. just breathing. just existing. but even that feels heavy with tension, like something just below the surface is about to break.
heâs shirtless. not in a performative way. just bare. his chest rises and falls in shallow motions, skin flushed with heat, the faintest sheen of sweat glinting under the soft light. his hand moves slowly at first, fingers wrapped tight around the base of his cock, stroking with careful precision. itâs already hard, already leaking at the tip, the kind of arousal thatâs been building for far too long.
you watch as he closes his eyes, biting down on his bottom lip, his brows knitting together like heâs trying not to fall apart too quickly.
then, he whispers somethingâso soft you almost miss it.
âfeels so goodâŚâ
his voice is high, sweet, breathy in the most fragile way. and itâs real. not loud. not dirty. just pure and cracked with something raw.
his strokes stay slow, almost too slow, like heâs punishing himself for how sensitive he is. his hips twitch every time he passes over the tip, precum smearing down the shaft and making his hand glisten as he continues.
you canât help but watch his faceâhow red his ears are, how hard heâs trying to keep his composure. you notice how his legs tense, thighs flexing every time he lets out one of those quiet, needy sounds.
his strokes get faster, hips starting to lift slightly off the bed, his thighs trembling beneath him. he looks like heâs trying to hold back. like heâs afraid of whatâll happen if he lets go too soon.
âi canât⌠i c-canât hold it, pleaseâŚâ
he cries out as his hand jerks up once, twice, and then his entire body stutters. his back arches just slightly, his mouth dropping open in a silent gasp as ropes of cum spill over his fist, painting across his stomach in messy spurts.
his breathing turns shaky. his head tilts back against the pillow, eyes fluttering, lips parted as a tiny, breathless whimper escapes him.
the clip ends with his fingers still curled tightly around himself, his chest rising fast, his body twitching as he comes downâwrecked and glowing and silent.
you move onto the last profile.
@nikiuncensored. verified. 5.6 million subscribers.
the name alone already tells you everything you need to know. it feels reckless. raw. unapologetically bold in a way that makes your pulse skip without warning. you hesitate only for a second before clicking on the preview.
the video starts without ceremonyâno soft intro, no teasing buildup. just action. the camera is low, placed somewhere near the base of the womanâs stomach. you canât see her face, not even her chestâjust the lower curve of her abdomen rising and falling with every sharp breath she takes. her thighs tremble faintly at the edges of the frame, knees slightly parted, twitching every time his mouth presses in.
but sheâs the background.
your eyes go straight to him.
ni-ki comes into view slowlyâhis shoulders first, broad and tense, then his head, tipped slightly as his mouth lowers between her legs. his tongue flicks upward in tight, rhythmic strokes, wet and steady, circling over the clit with agonizing precision. the movement is deliberate. practiced. his lips part to suck softly, then flatten again as he switches pace, building her up in waves.
his fingers move with the same energyâtwo of them disappearing inside her only to pull out again, slick and glistening before theyâre thrust back in with a soft squelch that echoes in the low hum of the room. the air is heavy. the lighting is dim, warm enough to cast shadows over the sharp line of his jaw, the flushed curve of his cheeks.
âfuckâŚâ he breathes, voice strained with something between amusement and awe, âyouâre so fucking wetâŚâ
he groans as he presses in harder, his mouth practically consuming her now, lips wrapped fully around her clit as he sucks with loud, messy slurps. the sound is obscene, echoing in the quiet roomâwet and desperate and hungry.
his eyes flutter shut, like heâs savoring the taste. like he could stay there all night and never come up for air. his free hand curls around the outside of her thigh, gripping tight, keeping her in place as his tongue works mercilessly. her moans are loud, cracked and high-pitched, but you barely register them. all you can hear is himâgroaning, gasping, devouring.
he moves his head side to side slightly, mouth still latched to her clit, and the slurping sound becomes louder, wetter. his fingers curl up inside her and she screams, hips jerking toward his face, but he doesnât back off. if anything, he doubles down.
he growls, low in his throat, sending vibrations straight into her core as his grip tightens.
and youâre stuck thereâwatching the way his mouth works, the way his muscles flex with every movement, the way he loses himself in it like itâs the only thing that matters.
the preview cuts off just as his lips part again, tongue dragging in a long, slow lick up her slit like heâs far from done.
and godâyou believe it.
youâre completely breathless.
your chest rises and falls in slow, uneven waves, lungs struggling to catch up with the flood of emotions coursing through your system. your skin is warm, flushed, your fingers twitching faintly from where they rest on your thighs. everything inside you feels electric. overstimulated. wired with something you canât quite nameâbut itâs there.
now, finally, you understand.
you understand why this appâthe one you opened on a whimâcould stir something so heavy inside you. why itâs been sitting in the back of your mind like a spark waiting for oxygen. itâs not just sex. itâs not just content. itâs control. attention. power.
you shift slightly where you sit, the damp heat between your thighs impossible to ignore. your panties are soaked, your breath shallow, and despite the way your body aches, you force yourself to sit up straighter. you push the thoughts down, shake your head, blink yourself back into focus.
youâve battled with yourself long enough.
without giving yourself the space to overthink it, your finger moves. you press the buttonâcreate accountâand watch the screen change, your heart racing with each small confirmation box that pops up in front of you.
you type quickly. no hesitation now. @babydollx0.
the name feels soft. flirty. safe.
but the next part isnât so easy.
you hesitate when it asks for a profile photo. you scroll through your galleryâold pictures, half-deleted mirror selfies, nothing that feels right. nothing that says what you want it to say. nothing that matches the version of yourself youâre about to become.
you toss your phone onto the bed and push off the covers, the sheets falling away from your legs in soft folds as you rise to your feet. your room is still quiet, dimly lit by the lamp in the corner, casting soft golden shadows across your walls.
you move quickly.
your drawer slides open with a soft clatter as you dig through the scattered mess insideâtangled bras, folded shorts, tucked-away lace. your fingers pause when they find it: a tiny, black thong. the skimpiest one you own. barely fabric at all.
you strip out of your shirt first, letting it fall to the floor without a second thought. the cool air hits your bare chest, making your nipples pebble instantly. thereâs no hesitation now. no shame. just movement.
you tug the thong on slowly, adjusting it at your hips, letting the waistband hug your curves as you step in front of the mirror.
you pose without overthinking itâback facing the mirror, head turned slightly over your shoulder, your front angled just enough to tease without revealing everything. the lighting does the rest. it casts your silhouette in soft shadows, highlighting the curve of your waist, the dip of your spine, the swell of your hips. everything else remains hiddenâblurred in the low glow of the lamp.
itâs just enough to make someone want more.
you lift your phone, frame the shot, and for the first time in a long timeâŚyou feel powerful.
you set your phone carefully on the edge of your desk, adjusting the angle until it captures only what you want it toâthe lower half of your body, your thighs parted slightly, your stomach rising with shallow breaths. your face is out of view. thereâs no light beyond the soft glow of your desk lamp, and the shadows cast across your skin make everything look muted, quiet, secretive.
your thumb hovers over the record button, trembling slightly. you're not nervous because you donât know what youâre doing. youâre nervous because you do.
your mind is cluttered with noise. doubt swims through you in thick waves, crashing hard against the edges of your resolve. your chest feels tight. you can feel the fear circling in your gut, whispering things like what if you regret it? what if someone finds out? what if you can't take it back?
but the fear isn't loud enough to drown out the truth.
you think of the letter on the counter, the rent due in less than a week, the account notifications warning you that your balance is lowâtoo low. you think of the long shifts, the missed hours, the denial from your manager. you think about how youâre out of options.
and then you press the button.
the recording begins. the red icon glows faintly in the corner of your screen. itâs happening now. youâve officially started.
your breath catches as your hands move instinctively, dragging down the curve of your stomach with a slow, deliberate rhythm. you let your fingers tease the hem of your thong, playing with the waistband, pulling it slightly before letting it snap back into place. you donât say a word. thereâs no script for this. you let the action speak for itself.
you shift in your seat, angling your body just enough for the camera to catch the soft curve of your ass, arching your back to deepen the shadow and leave the details to the imagination. itâs subtle. sensual. controlled.
then, after a pause that makes your heart pound harder, you bring your fingers to the front of your thong. with one smooth motion, you pull the fabric aside.
just enough to reveal yourself.
your folds glisten, slick already gathered between them from the buildup of watching, waiting, and wanting all night. youâd been trying to ignore it. trying to focus on the mechanics of the process. but your body never really forgot. not after what youâd seen. not after the way they sounded.
your fingers move without hesitation now, sliding between your folds and gathering the wetness. you exhale slowly, letting the feeling settle, letting the camera keep rolling. your touch is gentle at firstâsmall, slow circles around your clit, nothing too fast. you donât want to rush. you want it to look natural. sensual. you want it to feel good.
and it does.
your body shifts. your back arches slightly. your thighs tense. your fingers grow bolder, faster. not by muchâjust enough to feel it start to build. your breathing grows uneven. soft, audible. you hold back the sound in your throat, biting your lip hard enough to feel the pressure.
and then you think of them.
the teasing smirk from the one who never broke eye contact. the groans that scraped low and rough from behind clenched teeth. the soft, desperate whimpers that bled through clenched fists and sweat-slick sheets. the sharp snap of a hand against skin. the steady rhythm of fingers soaked to the knuckle.
you remember the flushed cheeks. the breathless pleas. the soaked mouth of someone who looked ruined just from giving. the thighs that trembled under the weight of restraint. the tongue that moved with unshakable precision, curling into someoneâs heat like it was instinctâlike it was art.
your fingers speed up.
your hips jerk slightly, your body reacting without permission. you tilt your head back, eyes fluttering shut as your clit pulses beneath your touch.
âfuckâŚâ
the word leaves you in a low, broken whisper. itâs almost inaudible. almost too quiet to catch. but itâs there.
your chest rises with effort as you force yourself to stay quietâto stay in control. nari is just a few feet away, asleep or scrolling in the room next door. you canât let her hear. you canât risk that. so you press your lips together tightly and breathe through your nose, letting your hand do the talking.
your fingers move in tighter circles. your stomach contracts. your legs pull in slightly as the pleasure curls deeper inside you, hot and electric. you donât stop. you canât stop. not now.
you donât need to speak. the way your body moves is enough.
the video keeps recording, and for a second, everything else disappearsâyour exhaustion, your guilt, your fear. all of it fades into the rhythm of your own breathing, the slick sound of your fingers working between your thighs, and the realization that this isnât just a performance.
itâs power.
and for the first time in a long time⌠itâs yours.
your fingers work faster now, soaked and steady, slipping in and out of your cunt with a rhythm thatâs grown almost frantic. the sound of itâslick, wet, obsceneâechoes low in the quiet room, barely masked by the rapid stutter of your breath. your body moves with instinct, hips rising to meet your hand, legs spread wide as you chase the heat thatâs been coiling deep in your core since the moment the video started.
you start with two fingers, curling them up just right to press against the spot that makes your stomach tighten. your lips press into a thin, trembling line as you try to keep quiet, forcing yourself to muffle the moans that threaten to spill out with every thrust. your walls clench tightly around your fingers, greedy, hot, desperate for more.
and you give it to yourself.
you let out a ragged breath as you push in a third finger, the stretch making your thighs tremble. the pressure is overwhelming nowâblinding, almost painful in the best possible way. you shift in your chair, back arching as you press your heels into the floor, legs falling open wider to give yourself more space. your body is flushed and burning, skin damp with sweat, nipples tight from the brush of cool air and lingering adrenaline.
your chest heaves as you move faster, harder, fingers curling deep into yourself as the pleasure builds fast and sharp like a scream stuck in your throat. your head tilts back, eyes fluttering shut, and for a split second, you forget about the camera. you forget about the fear. you forget about everything but the feelingâ
âfuck⌠oh my godâŚâ
the words tear from your throat, broken and low, muffled by the force of your own clenched jaw. your legs start to shake, your body twitching with the effort to stay upright as your orgasm rushes up and crashes through you.
âfuckkkâiâm gonna cum⌠shitâŚâ
your voice is higher now, cracked at the edges, as your hips jerk forward and your muscles seize. the pressure bursts all at once, your cunt clenching around your fingers as you gush hard, soaking your hand and the inside of your thighs. the release is hot, messy, completely overwhelmingâwave after wave rolling through your body until youâre panting, twitching, slumped over the desk with your mouth open in a silent gasp.
your other hand scrambles toward your phone, shaking as you fumble to tap the screen. the camera is still recordingâstill capturing every shudder, every twitch, the flushed glow of your skin and the shine slicked over your thighs.
you end the video with one shaky movement, chest rising and falling as you try to catch your breath.
your hand is drenched. your skin is burning. your thoughts are scrambled.
and you donât hesitate.
you upload it raw, unfiltered, untouched.
you donât trim the edges. you donât add a caption. you donât even blink before pressing the button.
you want it to speak for itself.
you want them to wonder.
you watch the screen as the upload bar slowly completes, your profile still blank, still new, still waiting to be discovered.
âŚâ˘âŕšâ
⯠âŻâ
ŕšââ˘âŚ
the soft chirp of birds cuts through the stillness of morning, gentle and rhythmic, floating in through the cracks of your half-open window. golden sunlight pours across your sheets, casting long shadows along your floor, warm and soft against your bare legs. your body is sprawled out lazily across the mattress, limbs tangled in the fabric as your eyes flutter open slowly, blinking away the blur of sleep.
your room is quiet except for the persistent buzz of your phone vibrating on the nightstand beside you. it hums every few seconds, faint but constant, like it's trying to get your attention. you glance at it, brows furrowing slightly, but you donât reach for it. not yet. your body still feels heavy with sleep and something elseâsomething deeper.
you push the covers off your legs, the cotton sheets rustling as you sit up and stretch, your spine arching with a soft crack. you move slowly, stepping onto the cool floorboards and making your way toward the bathroom, your legs stiff, your joints still waking up with you.
just as you reach the door, nariâs voice floats out from the hallway, warm and familiar.
âgood morning, girl,â she calls casually, emerging from her room with a yawn, her hair tied up messily and hoodie falling off one shoulder. she looks at you for barely a second before launching into whatâs clearly been sitting on her mind.
âso,â she says, tone direct, âare you planning on making an account?â
you pause.
the words land heavier than you expect, and for a second, the hallway feels too quietâlike her question has taken up all the space. the thought hadnât left your mind, not really. it was still there, tucked into the corner of your chest like something that needed to be dealt with eventually. she had brought it up before. multiple times. her voice always hopeful. her offers always kind. and you always deflected.
your throat tightens. not painfullyâbut just enough to make you hesitate.
you turn to look at her, your expression unreadable. the memory of last night creeps back in, vivid and electric. the video. your fingers. the way your breath had caught in your throat when you hit upload. the warmth that still lingered between your thighs. the weight of what it meant.
âiâll look into it,â you say, voice hoarse. âbut i donât know, nari⌠does it really even work?â
she crosses her arms gently, leaning her shoulder against the wall. her gaze softens as she watches you.
âi canât really speak from experience,â she says slowly, âbut from what iâve heard⌠itâs definitely something you should consider. especially with how much youâve been struggling. i know itâs not what youâre used to. i know itâs different. but y/n⌠itâs real money. quick money. and you wouldnât have to break your back for it.â
her voice stays gentle, but her words hit hard. your shoulders drop slightly, and her eyes flick down to your expression, reading you the way only she can.
âjust think about it, okay?â she continues, her tone still light. âiâm heading out in a bit, but whatever you decide, just let me know. i can look around for other stuff too, if you donât want to go that route.â
your chest tightens againâthis time from emotion.
you donât say anything. you just step forward and wrap your arms around her, pulling her in tight. the words rise up in your throat before you can stop them.
âthank you so much, nari,â you whisper. âwhat the fuck would i have done without youâŚâ
your voice cracks on the last word. you bury your face in her shoulder and hold her a little tighter, your body warm against hers.
you donât thank her enough.
not for the rent reminders. not for the quiet way she pretends not to notice when you come home late and fall asleep in your work clothes. not for the soft leftovers she always leaves out with a sticky note. not for the way she never once judged you when you admitted you were coming up short again.
she just showed up. over and over.
and you couldnât be more grateful.
âiâll always be here for you, y/n,â she murmurs, her arms wrapping tighter around your waist.
when you finally pull back, thereâs a single tear running down your cheek. you wipe it away quickly, hoping she doesnât noticeâbut she does. she always does. she doesnât say anything this time, just gives you a gentle look before stepping away.
you clear your throat, trying to shake the emotion from your voice.
âyou can go ahead,â you tell her softly. âi⌠i just have something to check really quick.â
she nods, disappearing into her room.
you stand there for a moment, your feet unmoving, the silence returning like a blanket wrapped around your shoulders. you exhale through your nose and turn around slowly, walking back into your room and closing the door behind you.
your phone is still buzzing on the nightstand.
and youâre finally ready to see what it has to say.
you close the door behind you and pause for a moment, letting your fingers linger against the wood. your room is quiet again, but itâs not the same kind of quiet as before. itâs weighted nowâthicker, charged with something unspoken. your steps back to the bed feel heavier than they should. your body isnât sore in the traditional sense, but thereâs something beneath your skin that hasnât left you since last night. like your muscles remember what you did. like your skin is still humming from the heat of it.
you sit on the edge of your bed, your blanket half-pulled down, the air cool against your bare legs. your phone is where you left itâface down on your nightstand, completely still. the buzzing that had filled the room earlier has stopped, like itâs holding its breath. waiting for you to be ready.
you reach for it slowly, with both hands, like youâre afraid youâll drop it if you donât steady yourself. the moment your fingertips brush across the screen, it lights up.
and everything changes.
1,462 new notifications. tips: +$1,951.76. new subscribers: +863.
you sit there, frozen, as the likes roll in by the second, stacking in waves across the screen. every few seconds, another tip comes in. ten dollars. twenty. fifty. a hundred. your balance is growing so fast it doesnât feel real.
you open the comments, and the words hit you all at once.
âthis is art. actual art.â âiâm obsessed.â âi came without even touching myself. thatâs how real this felt.â
you read them with wide eyes, your thumb scrolling slowly, like dragging through honey. itâs too much to take in all at once. too many voices. too many people whoâve seen you nowâreally seen youâand want more.
you click over to your inbox. there are dozens of messages, all timestamped from the early hours of the morning. most of them are praises, offers, begging. a few are bold. graphic. unfiltered. and buried among themâat the very top, a verified profileâis the one that makes your entire body still.
@heefreakshow.
youâre completely taken off guard.
nothing could have prepared you for thisânone of it. not the flood of attention. not the numbers still rising. and especially not him. not the quiet, effortless way one of the creators you watched last nightâhalf in awe, half with your hand buried between your thighsâhas now turned his gaze on you. messaged you. noticed you.
you stare at the notification like it might disappear. like maybe your phone glitched and itâs not really him. your thumb hovers just inches above the message, heartbeat loud in your ears, the weight of everything thatâs happened pressing down on your chest.
and thenâbefore you can overthink itâyou press.
the message expands across your screen in one clean, perfect line.
god, you were so fucking hot. why donât you let me see what more youâre capable of doing?
you go still.
your throat tightens. your lips part, but no sound comes out. your entire body feels like itâs pulsingâheat rising from your neck, crawling down your spine, settling low in your stomach. your eyes read the words once. then again. then again.
youâre speechless.
not because itâs crudeâthough it is. not because itâs confidentâbecause of course it is. but because itâs him.
you sit there, phone trembling slightly in your grip, and all you can think about is how none of this wouldâve happened if nari hadnât pushed you. if she hadnât looked you in the eyes and told you she believed in you. if she hadnât said the words you were too afraid to say out loud.
you owe her everything.
because now? now youâre more than okay. youâre not just survivingâyouâre starting. youâre in it.
and you have absolutely no plans of stopping.

guys, in regards to reading comprehension, if it's something you struggle with â read the whole thing. If it's something you don't struggle with, yes you do â read the whole thing.
don't respond or comment or whatever before you have read the whole thing.
The number of times I've gotten responses from people who clearly didn't read beyond the first few sentences of what I wrote is genuinely staggering. Think about it: if you don't have time to read someone else's thoughts, why should anyone take time to read yours? Communication is a two-way street.
Take your time reading. It's okay if you have to take time. You don't need to be 100% ready with a response right away, ever, in real life convos or online. You are allowed to take the time you need to absorb information and develop a response. Anyone who says otherwise is an asshole.
If you have a physical copy of something, highlighting or underlining is extremely helpful. There's even studies that show that you take in more information if you're holding a pen in your hand, as if to take notes. Also, TAKE NOTES! It's fun and extremely helpful.
If you don't have a physical copy, try highlighting with your mouse or your keyboard as you read. It makes you slow down and absorb what you're reading. Highlight a sentence at a time, and move forward sentence to sentence. There are even programs that allow you to do this with any running text. It's usually called focus mode.
TL;DR read the whole text before you respond to something, for the love of spiders georg

Yes, all of this.
Like ask yourself the question: at one point while writing ASOIAF, GRRM thought it would have been interesting if he had made the Targaryens black, but by that time it was far too late.
But after he had that thought - when he was working on the histories for TWOIAF (which turned into F&B), he could have introduced other characters of Valyrian descent who happened to be black. Say House Qoherys, who are all dead now so who knows what they looked like. Or some Free Cities house. Or even Velaryons! Just do the fandom nerd excuse and say a some fourth son a generation back was a sea captain who married a Summer Islander or Basilisk Islander or a Naathi, and so there's mixed race brown cousins. (Which would hopefully make pedants and racists stop saying "but Aurane! But the queens! So why aren't Targs mixed race?!" etc etc.)
But he did not. Whatever GRRM's thought process was, he evidently decided "ugh guess I'm stuck with my original worldbuilding. My fantasy world has only white Valyrians. That's all, nothing else."
However, the one thing he did do: he made Nettles black. Multiple comments by multiple characters on her brown skin. "You need only look at her to know she has no drop of dragonâs blood in her."
So in this world of only white Valyrians, here is this black lowborn bastard girl dragonrider whose race and origins are deliberately questioned by the narrative! If GRRM didn't want it to be questioned, he would have established her parentage, and revealed some Velaryon or Targaryen in her heritage somewhere. But no. Nettles is an "unlikely dragonrider" of "uncertain birth" purposefully to raise the question in the reader's mind -- do you even need to be a Targaryen to ride a dragon?*
And the fact that Nettles's bond with Sheepstealer was accomplished via acclimatizing him to her by feeding him sheep over time, not by either of the other ways known (cradle egg, or jumping on and praying you won't die) -- the fact that this matches that we're told the early Valyrians were humble shepherds who found dragons nesting in the Fourteen Flames -- it only underlines how different Nettles is. How special she is. How her existence as a dragonrider is designed to make the reader doubt the fundamental thing Targaryens believed about themselves.
The fact that Nettles is, as you said, so much more than even that mic-drop world-breaking question (she's the origin of the Burned Men, hello?), just underlines her specialness. Her importance to in-world history and to narrative themes. Her -- shall we say -- exceptionalism. And to see parts of the fandom try to write her off -- try to write off the work GRRM deliberately did, to try to make us think -- well. It would be angering if it weren't so depressing.
People really are missing the point of a character like Nettles. Being the a non-Valyrian dragonrider is what makes her different(in every positive definition of that word) and helps to serve a larger purpose in this story.
Valyrian blood is not special. Itâs not needed to do great things. No one is special because of what family they happen to be born into.
A non-Valyrian Nettles shows that we are more than the circumstances which we are born into. Our birth, our names, and our very blood does not define us. Our actions are what do. We can overcome so much and rise to become absolutely extraordinary with a little bit of determination, patience, and a dash of help along the way. Nettles exemplifies that to the fullest extent.
She's more than a Black Valryian. She doesnât have to be Valyrian. She shouldnât have to be Valyrian.
Sheâs a survivor. Sheâs a final girl. Sheâs a Black low-born girl likely without a drop of dragons blood that tames a wild dragon with patience that killed countless others who had dragons blood. She survived the Dance where others high and low alike fell and perished to become a firewitch to the Burned Men.
Her legacy is immortalized in the history books(and by the Burned Men cause they still worship her) as one of the last(if not the last) dragonrider(s) before Dany all without having any known Valyrian ancestry.
#*addam velaryon also helps raises that question if he's corlys's son rather than laenor's since velaryons were never a dragonlord house#but that's not important right now#also btw i love everything the op said and would have reblogged without comment just to underline its perfection#but my tags just got too insane on this to not actually reply in post ahaha i'm sorry#(but one more thing: the doctrine of exceptionalism is straight up bullshit and grrm makes *so many points* in f&b to underline that.#stop buying into it! ffs he shouldn't need to write it on the wall in 50-foot letters)#asoiaf#asoiaf meta#nettles#sheepstealer#dragonriders#dragons#valyrians#house targaryen#grrm#fire and blood#asoiaf worldbuilding#asoiaf themes#valyrianscrolls#queue and me we're in this together now

Somewhere in the year after Jason becomes a part of Bruce's family, a strange book appears on the desk of Bruce's personal study room. A book about parenting traumatised kids. He opens it, leafs though a little, noticing certain phrases underlined, and closes it back. Alfred probably left it. Just a few days ago, they had a short argument regarding his parenting methods, and he seemingly tried to prove his point by additional literature. Bruce is going to read it later.
...He doesn't have time, actually, and eventually, the book stays forgotten, tucked between many others.
Years pass. Jason dies. And then comes back, complicated and different, frustrating and hard to crack. Thinking about Jason â a habit, always a habit â becomes some kind of roulette: he either remembers something nice, comes up with some courage to talk with his son, at least through comms, at least not directly, or the exact opposite thing happens, sending them both out of balance.
It is the middle of cleaning day, when Alfred suddenly picks up the exact same book about children victims and how to take care of them, and to Bruce's surprise asks where does this book come from.
'What do you mean?' Bruce frowns. 'You gave it to me when I just adopted Jason. Well, not gave, I would say tactically sneaked in, but...'
'I would remember that,' Alfred frowns. He goes through a few pages, and his face softens. 'It wasn't me, master Bruce.'
And suddenly, it clicks.
*Jason* left it. He underlined lines that probably felt relatable to him, that maybe could help them both in their new, hard journey. A shy kid he was, though, very smart, he would never actually speak with Bruce directly â he would try to leave him hints. To open up more in a subtle way.
Toâ
Oh.
Bruce suddenly can imagine his little son overhearing his late argument with Alfred that day, all these years ago. Mulling over, "this kid is deeply traumatised, master Bruce" and "well, I can't get inside his head, Al" lines. Figuring out how to easen his burden. How to be understood and yet accepted.
And Bruce... unknowingly discarded that.
As usual.
Unknowingly, cluelessly, and yet so simply â he discarded everything that was dear to Jason, everything that meant something for him.
As he grips the book in his hands, caressing the soft cover, he can't help but wonder if any of the information inside, little highlights Jason did, are still working for him. If he still can fix it.
#Jaybin thinking Bruce read it all (because that's his smart and cool dad Duh) and still chose to make mistakes he didâ#forever not not thinking about the fact that Jason thought that Bruce came for him (prior his death) & that he finally felt like he mattere#only to Bruce tell him that he came after Joker and him meeting Jason there was an accident#and unknowingly discarding kid's last hope that he had family#oh Bruce Wayne stop dooming yourself and your kids#jason todd#red hood#batman#dcu#dcu comics#dc universe#batfamily#bruce wayne#batfam#alfred pennyworth
