Follow up to the Kai Parker ask (off anon) but when you said “He found a little bit of security in Lily Salvatore” it threw me back to that one fic you wrote with Kai and the mice where he brought the reader back to lily’s and it had such heavy found family vibes and I loved it sm, I swear you’re right about Kai’s character turning out differently if someone had given him a second chance. He really did just want to belong. Also, love that your mom is a Matt girly, my little sister is a Tyler Lockwood stan 😂😂

Hi!!! 🤗

Awwwh, tbh, that one's one of my favorites that I've written! I freaking love the found family trope, and there's a great lack of fics of him being with the heretics in a family sense (& him with heretics in general). [I want to write more, too.]

But yeah, he just wants to feel like he belongs somewhere, and even though he didn't really know Lily, she still gave him that feeling of security through, if you take my blood, you're pretty much indestructible. And the heretics would contribute to giving him that feeling of safety and belonging, considering they're in the same boat Gemini siphon-wise, and he was with them for four months, and let them feed on him.

The lack of redemption bothers me so much because almost every single villain was redeemed up to season 5, and then they just started killing them off. But unlike Silas, the Travelers, Lily's boyfriend I forgot his name, and the Sirens, Kai was actually putting effort into being better, but then they totally screwed him over.

And I could even see him getting close to Damon later in season 6, when he wanted answers about his mother. They could've been buddies, but then Bonnie had to go in and ruin it. Kai could've had his life; he'd probably stay in Mystic Falls and continue to gain their trust. Jo wouldn't have died; the heretics wouldn't have absolutely ransacked MF; Matt wouldn't have lost his shit with the vamps for good. 😅 If they just forgave Kai, so many problems would've been avoided, and the poor boy could've had the redemption arc he deserved. I'll be forever mad about it.

Also, laughing about your sister liking Tyler. 😂 He 's almost as bad as Matt. Thing is though, I don't really hate either of them. Tyler peeves me most of the time, but I like some of his qualities. Matt's fine when he's being loyal to his friends, but I lose respect for him when he's sleeping with Rebekah but actively hating vampires, but then I really hate him in seasons 7 & 8. Being anxious of vampires is entirely valid, but he can't hate them and sleep with them, too. 😅

Imagine asking Nico to teach you his native language while in an intimate position…

warnings: smut

This is a short blurb… I was feeling a type of way and my friends said to “write it out”.. now here we are

there’s smut under the cut please go away if you’re under 18+ or rpf makes you uncomfortable (obviously)

Nico’s eyelids are nearly closed. He’s panting in my face and I hear him saying something. I can’t understand it so I know he’s saying something in his native language.

“Teach me”, I pant out.

“Huh” he gasps and his eyes snap open to meet my hooded ones.

I slow my movements to a slow roll on him, my clit hitting his pubic bone, making my voice shake. “I want you to teach me how to say what you’re saying” I moan as I pull at his hair. “While you fuck me”

..

Okay I had more to that but I I’m not fully sure how to even make it a story 😅.. so small blurb to get out of my system.

Fate of the Unforgivable: The Norns weren't always generous. Some humans were punished for their rotten souls in a form of purgatory and had to suffer through their worst nightmare, over and over again, until the Norns were satisfied.

can we talk about sukuna and rika and why the king and queen of curses having a dispute is also narratively fitting? if sukuna is an heian era sorcerer with an antipathy and disregard of human emotions and the weak's will to live, blind to love and unable to comprehend the value of relationships with others then rika, as his counterpart, works especially well. rika is just a kid, or was just a kid. an innocent young girl who ended up dying tragically and saw herself transform into a vengeful spirit after being cursed by love. not only does she represent the weak (remember when sukuna's slaughter of women and children was implied?), she represents love itself. with her feelings lingering after death, she clinged onto her existence with the sole wish of protecting yuuta. it counteracts so well with sukuna's selfish will to kill time before his final breathe, which he admitted to be his will and motivation.

before i move on to my next idea, which let me preface by saying that it might be a little out there and dives into theory territory, i'm going to contextualise it with some information on the symbolism of "king and queen" that might help understand why this thought may make - at least some - sense.

in alchemy the king usually appears in conjunction with the queen, representing the sun-and-moon duality. in accordance with the theory of sulfur and mercury, which together, after alchemist purification, form the philosopher’s stone (also called the elixir of life, associated with rejuvenation and immortality), usually represented by the crowned hermetic androgyne (the union of the complementary male and female, achieving perfection or completion in the human state). according to jung, the king and queen also signify the spiritual conjunction that takes place when the process of individuation is complete, with the harmonious union of the unconscious and consciousness. jungian psychology has subjected the alchemistic tradition to extensive analysis and views the king less as an image of paternal authority and more as an archetype of higher insight and wisdom.

with that in mind, i think it's easy to understand where i'm headed but i want to add something else. remember jjk 0? geto's plan at the time was to obtain rika so he could use her power and move forward with his plan to annihilate all no-sorcerers. he believed her to be the key to achieve his goal and was willing to risk his own life for it. furthermore, the story is highly based on buddhist concepts and one of the core aspects of jujutsu kaisen is the cycles of suffering the characters are subjected to. in buddhism the goal is to become free of the samsara (continuous cycle of life, death and rebirth), eliminate suffering and achieve nirvana (enlightment). this ties withe the name of the series as kaisen is comprised of the kanji 'kai', meaning cycle, and 'sen', meaning battle, which combined with jujutsu (which means magic/sorcery but contains the word curse) describe the story as an endless battle of curses. and in a sense, the story also repeats itself, between generations and storyline-wise with the events circling back to how it all began. yuuta managed to land a fatal strike on geto once again, but now rika is pointed to be in a direct confrontation with sukuna as the queen of curses. now that i went through all the context needed to understand this, is it possible rika is once again in danger of being taken away? the idea of achieving a state of perfection with the unity between king and queen is quite intriguing. sukuna finally addressing yuuji as a worthy rival because of his unshakable resolve and unbreakable soul, is almost directly implying yuuji to be the one with whom sukuna has his last battle. an ultimate power-up (or the equivalent to), would be veyy cathartic before a final fight where yuuji would have the opportunity to finally go all out and have his well awaited and deserved protagonism (in my eyes, at least).

Let's say it counts as my Strahdtober entry even if it has nothing to do with the prompt. Keeping up the fake illustrations of what if scenarios. This time with the sweet Volenta, who I enjoy very much as a DM. I've always thought of her as the mad dog Strahd would unleash on the party. She worships her master in my game, so I thought of drawing her in a desecrated place... Sent to choose a sacrificial lamb for her Dreadful Lord ... or to answer the vain prayers players would made for Barovia to get better.

I will polish things one day, I’m just playing around and don’t have energy to do clean things.

screenshot study! from the movie the sea beast which has SUCH pretty shots :)

this was very useful! i learned that something like this is way over my head rn 😅 it's the first time ive ever done a painted figure study and i can see why people struggle with them! it's a HUGE leap from shading in spheres or eggs. but now that i've seen how i struggle i can start to tackle it! huge difference from before where i was just feeling lost and didn't know how to proceed :)

edit: her dress is apparently fucking YELLOW!! i told you. i warned you about yellow

Speaking of the fae, what gets me about those "dark fae romances" that seem to be so "in" right now is that they don't do anything interesting with the fae lore. Like. Why even call your MC a fae if he never speaks in riddles and can just straight up lie all the time. Why call him a fae and make him impervious to cold iron.

Look. I know that "fae lore" is actually just a disjointed and often self-contradicting collection of completely individual folk tales and mythologies and that no such thing as the Definitive Fae Lore™️ exists, but c'mon. At that point he's just a guy with pointy ears. He's a tolkien elf with an attitude problem. You're allowed to write a yandere legolas fic if you want to write a yandere legolas fic.

I'm looking at myself naked in the mirror right now and can guarantee you I'm not sexy lol

Mmmm sorry was picturing you naked in front of your mirror and me coming up behind you, wrapping my arms around you, whispering in your ear what a sexy little thing you are, then reaching down and softly start pumping your cock, “mmm look at yourself baby, you’re so sexy for me, say you’re sexy, let mommy hear you say it” and I’d stop touching you if you refused, I’d make you keep repeating it as I start going faster and faster “yes baby that’s a good boy, that’s my sexy good boy” until you make a mess all over the mirror ☺️

guys ok so i was rewatching s1 and i wanted to take a quick second to talk about the memories from the second episode (where the players found the house and it had the ghost repeating memory thing) and i think it's a super cool detail that alludes to the allura city (i forgot its name oopsie) with all their illusions and stuff. idk i just thought it was such a cool little detail that has been getting overlooked by the dead trees (like trying to talk to a dead tree, nice one acera 😆😂). oh also! it was such a good setup for the rest of the plot because like... it makes the vibe spooky and postapocalyptic which is kinda the vibe for the rest of the campaign !! very good setup by glow good job ahaha 💖💞

Me: I'm fine about my autism now btw, like I've come to terms with my fixated interests, limited tolerances and social inabilities. The alienation it brings is not ideal but it's just a reality I've gotta deal with now that I know it's just a part of who I am. I mean, it's not like an awkward conversation is gonna ruin anyone's life, is it? We'll both move on from it eventually. This is fine!

Also me: physically unable to watch beyond the first word of the first question of The Assembly because oh my god what if someone says something awkward or controversial or someone can't make themselves understood people are gonna get mad and scream about it online and I will freeze up and be stuck in the backlash forever I don't know how to handle conflict AT ALL let's just hide in the corner behind the sofa instead wait what if I became a hermit actually yeah yeah yeah that sounds good let's do that
