Redefining the Dark: Brent Weeks' Groundbreaking Impact on Fantasy

From the sun-kissed lands of Tolkien’s Middle Earth to the frostbitten realms of Martin’s Westeros, we thought we’d seen it all in fantasy. Ah, bless our naïve little socks. Little did we know, the genre was primed to be knocked squarely on its ethereal arse by an unassuming bloke named Brent Weeks and his seminal novel, “The Way of Shadows.” In the dimly-lit world of fantasy, where elves…

rapper! ony x singer! reader

summary: good girl gone bad ; you just can’t get enough of rapper ! ony who has made a name for himself for participating in a plethora of (usually) one-sided rap beefs, being a creative lyricist/producer, & being such a bad influence to your heart.

(I suck at summarizing ಥ_ಥ̥)

this post contains: head-cannons, cursing, n-word usage, smidge of smut, spelling errors, lowercase grammar, semi-toxic ! ony or wtv, crybaby ! reader, vague description of reader’s body, lowk clickbaited summary, not proofread.

▬▬ rapper! ony who “accidentally” leaks a snippet of his new song with your moans as the intro melody.

much to your horror the audio blows up on tiktok and now every time you open the app, that accursed audio plays.

the worst thing about it is that every time you bring up the audio to ony and question how it even got leaked in the first place, you’re met with a..

“mmcht, ma, for the last time I don’t know how it got leaked. connie’s dumb ass must have did something stupid and posted the wrong shit.”

or a..

“fatbutt, I don’t know why you complaining. you sound sexy as fuck and the fans wanna hear more of the track once i release it. you don’t wanna disappoint our fans, right ma?”

“n-no, I don’t wanna disappoint them but I just don’t feel comfortable with it. maybe you can call connie one more time and try to get it taken care of ?”

“ight.”

it never gets taken care of, in fact three weeks later ony drops the song with eren as featured artist which doubles the song’s popularity and makes it on the billboard hot 100.

“whose pussy is this, ma ? ~ mhm tell me ?” ony asks while delivering slow harsh strokes into your trembling body. your hair wrapped tightly in his hands as it helps aid his assault into your weeping cunt while his free hand is gripping your midsection equally as tight.

“f-fucknmhm, it’s yours pa,” ony’s abusive thrusts to your pussy force your words to ball up in the back of your throat as you try to concentrate on listening to his commands and hold the phone recording the intimate moment.

watching the phone slowly start to slip through your half- boneless hands, it urged him to re-wrap your hair (tightly) into his hands and harshly lift your body onto his chest while continuing his now- upward thrusts into your cunt. the new angle allowed a deeper reach into your cervix as ony heartlessly knocked into it. “say it louder for the camera baby. whose owns this pussy ?”

“ony does, ony owns my pussy. fuck~ please pa I’m so close.”

“good girl, ma. you so pretty when you cry. now cum for me.” ony commands as he watches your body tremble in pure overstimulation and pleasure. biting his lip as he gently wipes the tears from out the corner your eyes and leans down to kiss your cheek.

▬▬ rapper ! ony who can sense when someone is making his girl laugh.

“ony what is your opinion on the Kendrick vs Drake beef?” a reporter asked while shoving her mic into his face.

ony who was tired of being asked this question sighed and tried his best to formulate a sentence that would not offend either rapper.

“well you know I be-” he stops mid sentence to turn around before hearing the soft chuckle of his girlfriend from across the garden of the regal event.

the reporter who was standing there unanswered lifted a brow and tried to gain ony’s attention back on the question for it’s live broadcasted audience.

“umm, ony ?” the reporter asked until she heard a feminine chuckle from the other side of her. the reporter and the cameraman turned swiftly to what caught ony’s eye to see you laughing hysterically at something thee Brent Faiyaz said.

“I’ll be back.” ony mumbled.

(damn.. someone stole my bitch.)

▬▬ rapper ! ony who promotes your music to his hardcore fan base.

▬▬ rapper ! ony who cannot keep his hands off your body.

he is stuck to you like white on rice.

you physically cannot escape this man because his strong arms are always securely wrapped around your waist, neck or arm.

ony isn’t a controlling person, but he is very clingy. he likes to feel the presence of his girl around him and having a body part of his connect to yours-

It sedates him.

cheesy? I know.. but he’s your man, so you’ll deal with it.

▬▬ rapper ! ony whose mean mug is nasty.

he does not play when it comes to people besides him being handsy with you.

ony’s sideeye has become a stan twitter icon.

in the earlier stages of your blooming relationship ony did not want to come off as too overbearing (he is) and let a lot of of his boundaries be overstepped. he never wanted to cause a big scene, so he always used his face to project his emotions instead of his words and fist.

a particular event where you had been pulled to the side to be interviewed had blown up all over social media because of ony deviously standing in the back- mugging the fuck out of the reporter whose hands were on the small of your back.

retweets of the incident had you delighted while ony was rather annoyed.

▬▬ rapper ! ony who dedicates an entire album to you.

▬▬ rapper ! ony who corrects your behavior.

ony has eyes all over. never forget that.

you two had gotten into an argument the day before over something small. at this point you had already forgotten what you two were arguing about, but the impact of the altercation was still there.

you despised when ony bested you in an argument and in retaliation you decided to attend a not-so little house party that ony advised you not to attend.

so what did you do?

you went to the party.

that night you’d tell ony that it was all sasha’s fault, but this was a conscious choice made by yourself.

that night you were spent bent over ony’s leg being spanked till tears then finger fucked.

▬▬ rapper ! ony who can’t stop talking about you during interviews.

▬▬ rapper ! ony who verbally dragged another artist who decided it would be cute to throw shade at your new single.

“ony, delete the tweet.” with your hands on your hips you let out a deep sigh. you two have been bickering back and forth all evening about the tweet-simply because you didn’t care what someone with barely 500k streams had to say.

“no, she’s gonna learn to pick her battles wisely today, ma.”

“oh my fucking god onyankopon put the phone down.”

author note: thank you so much for reading and noting. I have not written in years (2019-22) and I wanted to jump back into something new. usually I would’ve written a 10k fanfic on naruto but I’ve been tuning into a lot of aot/jjk content and I’ve decided this is my new era of writing. I cannot wait to find my own comfort and flow with this new fandom !!

“So, these were your big plans?”

You nestled farther into the couch, nodding as to the affirmative. Luna let out a bark of a laugh, watching from the closest loveseat as you freed a single arm from your self-inflicted tangle of blankets and adjusted the volume of the god-awful, absolutely perfect reality show you were watching – something about a dozen or so insanely attractive b-rated influencers fraternizing on an island; fucking, fighting, and doing very little else. In other words, peak television.

“I’ve heard that some people go shopping on their days off, or hiking— can you believe that? There are actually people out there who’d voluntarily leave their apartments?”

You shrug, gesturing towards the T.V. “And there are other people in here that have half a dozen seasons of Love Peninsula to catch up on.”

“I know I said I was up for anything, but…” She trailed off, eyeing the screen (and, by association, the montage of shirtless men and bikini-clad women flashing across it) warily. “Are you absolutely sure there’s nothing you’d rather be doing? Nothing you’d rather do with me?”

“I mean, I might make popcorn in a couple hours. When Cindy realizes Brent still isn't over Sierra.”

“C’mon, it’s obvious she’s delusional. You’d be lucky if she notices before the finale.”

“You have been watching, you liar. Do you think Monica and Kyle are actually going to make it past the next elimination, or—"

“(Y/n).”

“Right. Their first kiss was pretty cute, so they’ll probably make it another—” She narrowed her eyes, and you cut yourself off. Sitting up, you gave her your most pleading smile. Between your job and your classes, the former full of last-minute call-ins and never-available coworkers while the latter seemed to consist entirely of textbooks you didn’t have the energy or the time to read and tests you could never seem to pass, it felt like this was the first day you'd had to yourself in weeks. You were exhausted, and as pathetic as it sounded, there was nothing you wanted to do more than lay on your (or, technically, your roommate’s) couch, shovel junk food into your mouth, and watch the romantic lives of strangers disintegrate until you couldn’t remember a single second from the past two months. “I know, I know, but I feel like I’ll fall apart if I push myself further. I promise, we can do something fun and exciting and outdoorsy next time, but today,” You shook the remote. “It’s just me and the peninsula, babe.”

She rolled her eyes, but gave in quickly. Pushing herself to her feet, Luna stretched before turning towards you, both hands coming to rest on her hips. “I’ll leave you alone with the new love of your life, then. And, since I’m going to assume you won’t be getting up for the next twelve hours, I’m bringing you something to drink, too.” She paused, grinned. “Any requests?”

You hesitated. Luna didn’t have a reason to take care of you. She was your roommate, not your girlfriend, even if she had always been the overly-affectionate type. She liked to go behind your back, sometimes, wake up an hour before you to make breakfast despite her hours being nearly as hellish as yours, overpay on her half of the rent and attempt to write it off as your landlord’s mistake, and usually, you tried not to let her get away with it, to repay her kindness when you could and not accept it at all, when you knew you wouldn’t be able to. Usually, you’d brush her off, tell her to go out and enjoy herself. Usually, you wouldn’t let her baby you, but today…

“Can you make that tea again?” You asked, too tired to feel as ashamed as you should’ve. “The one with the mint leaves? And that weird not-quite-herbal taste?”

She sighed, shook her head, but a few minutes later, there was a warm mug in your hands, the beverage inside more bitter than you expected it to be but no less satisfying. You drained half the mug in the first sip, finished it in the second, and in an instant, any remaining scrap of tension in your body had evaporated. You melted back into your place on the couch, and Luna chuckled, leaning forward. You felt her hands on your shoulders, her thumbs digging into the flesh above your shoulder blades. You winced out of reflex, at first, but what little pain there was subsided into a subtle, but not completely unpleasant pressure as she pushed slow, steady circles into the muscles of your back.

Luna let out a low whistle as you leaned into her forceful touch. “You weren’t kidding. You’re as stiff as a plank, poor thing.”

“I mean, yeah. That’s kind of what I’m trying to fix.” You tried to sound sardonic, self-aware, but you had to bite your tongue not to groan as she found a particularly tense patch of muscle near the top of your spine. “Thanks for the reminder?”

She stopped, abruptly, letting you go with a low hum of disapproval. “I’m going to need you to lay down. If you don’t get a proper massage, your body might just give out on you.”

Her tone didn’t leave room for protest, but you tried to shake your head, to smile as you brushed her off. “You don’t have to do everything for me, y’know.”

“It’ll take five minutes.” She was rounding the couch. “Come on. I’ll have to do even more for you if you manage to give yourself early-onset paralysis.”

“Do you even have a license?”

“Lie down.”

Again, on any other day, you might’ve argued, but…

But, it just wasn’t worth it, today. You didn’t have the energy.

So, you laid down, folding your arms underneath your head and trying not to shift as Luna straddled your lower thighs. Her hands slipped under the hem of your tank-top, and you forced yourself not to flinch as she slipped the thin piece of fabric over your head. It was fine. Luna probably didn’t think anything of it. She was usually topless at home, and if she wasn’t, it meant she hadn’t put on enough clothes to just be topless, yet. You’d never met anyone so determined not to sleep in their own bed, which wouldn’t be an issue if she wasn’t equally as determined to sleep in the nude. You tried not to complain, though. It was her name on the lease, and you didn't want to be down a friend and a place to live just because you've seen more of your roommate than you'd honestly like to.

You jolted when she reached for the clasp of your bra, but Luna only chuckled, resting a hand on your shoulder and easing you back onto your chest. “Easy there,” She laughed. “You don’t expect me to work with this in the way, do you?”

“I… I guess not?” It was more of a question than explicit permission, but she rewarded you with a soft squeeze to your side. Your bra was removed as carelessly as your tank top, and after you made a feeble attempt to protect what was left of your modesty with a stray blanket, Luna continued.

She was kind enough to start gently. She favored the areas she had before – your upper back, your shoulders, the curve of your spine. You felt her blunt nails scrape over your skin, and occasionally, she seemed to press a little too hard, to aim for a spot that was a little too sensitive, but her slip-ups were few and far between, and slowly, you let yourself relax underneath her. As you let your guard down, she was able to move lower, to knead her fingertips into the muscle of your lower back and work out the knots of tension you hadn’t realized existed, not until Luna hit a nerve you couldn’t name and a wave of something warm and loose washed over you. This time, you were too slow to bite back the low whine that slipped past your lips, but Luna only laughed. She must’ve done this before. She didn’t seem fazed by anything, but then again, she never really did.

“This might be the most time we’ve spent together all month, y’know.” It was phrased light-heartedly, but guilt ate away at the back of your throat, nonetheless. She wasn’t wrong. You’d been busy – either away at work or locked in your room, studying. You didn’t have a lot of time to spend with anyone, let alone the roommate you’d known for a grand total of six months. Despite loving dearly, of course. “It’s hard not to feel a little neglected.”

You swallowed, dryly. “I’m sorry. I guess I’ve been busy, lately.”

You must’ve been more tired than you realized. Your eyes felt too heavy to keep open, and your body felt… strange, too, so numb and so hot and so cold, simultaneously. This time, you couldn’t bring yourself to believe it was part of the massage. “And I tried to take such good care of you, too,” Luna went on, as if you hadn’t said anything at all. “Do you know how hard it was to catch your attention? To get an ad out where I knew you would have to see it? I thought you might be easier to keep a hold on once we were living together, but even now, you’re too distracted to do so much as look at me.”

Her voice was still quiet, her tone still teasing, but dampened hostility laced her words. Her anger barely shined through, and yet, you weren’t sure you’d ever seen her so mad.

You tried to arch your back, to push yourself up, but it was all you could to do curl your fingertips into your palms, to force your eyes open. She was still on top of you, but her touch has changed – more lingering, less precise, any pretense of delicacy or purpose growing more and more distant with each passing second. You felt her hands fall to your waist, then your hips, her blunt nails digging into your ass as you let out a choked, panicked sound. It wasn’t a scream - it was still Luna, you’d never scream because of Luna – but you weren’t sure it would’ve made a difference, if it had been.

“I mean, a little attention is the least you could give me. I’ve been paying your bills for… what? Half a year? And your ‘rent’—” She cut herself off with an airy laugh. “A place like this for a rate like that? You have to know how much I've been doing for you, even if you always did like to play had to get.” 

You didn’t know what she was talking about. You didn’t know what she was trying to say. You didn’t know what she was doing – or, rather, what she seemed to be getting ready to do. With a soft hum, she pressed a light kiss into the dip of your shoulder before straightening her back, shifting slightly. With deliberate, light movements, she drew you upward, chuckling as your limp body came to rest against her chest, your legs still trapped underneath you. “See? It’s not that hard to rely on someone else,” She said, despite your feeble efforts to put any amount of distance between you and her. “It’s easier, right? And I promise, it'll feel a lot better than being so stubborn.”

It was hard to speak. You vision was blurring, now, your mind starting to lag behind with the rest of your body. “I don’t…” You tried, then trailed off, shaking your head before you forced yourself to string together something more coherent. “I don’t know if this is—”

“You’re supposed to be relaxing. Isn’t that what you said you wanted to do, princess? Straining yourself is a little against the point.” You managed to raise a hand, to shove at the arm wrapped around your midriff, but Luna only kissed your cheek, only dug her nails into your side with enough force to break the skin. “All you have to worry about is sitting pretty and letting me take care of you. That doesn’t sound too hard, does it?”

The question was rhetorical. She clearly didn’t need an answer, and judging by the way her touch drifted to your chest, how her gentleness seemed to falter as her thumbs swiped over your nipples, she didn’t seem to want one, either. You jerked forward, stifling a whimper, and Luna’s grin seemed to widen, her teeth ghosting over vulnerable skin while she groped you, occasionally pinching your chest or nipping at your neck when her sedative threatened to overtake you completely.

Eventually, she moved on, moved lower, pull your shorts off and tracing two fingers over your slit, nearing purring when she felt the damp spot that stained your panties. She hadn’t done anything to earn it, but you were already panting, already struggling to feel anything but hot. A knot of tension had formed at the pit of your stomach, and it was all you could do to press your thighs together, to try to alleviate the rolling ache in your core. “Poor baby,” Luna drawled, her voice more giddy than sympathetic. “You just need all the help you can get, don’t you?”

Your panties were torn through easily, the ruined fabric quickly discarded. Somewhere, in the back of your mind, you wished she would just touch you, do whatever she was going to do so you wouldn’t have to suffer through… whatever this was on your own, but the traitorous thought never reached the surface. Instead, Luna’s palm ground into your exposed clit, applying just enough pressure to leave you clenching your eyes shut and gritting your teeth, curling your toes and thrashing weakly against her. If she noticed your pathetic attempts at resistance, though, she didn’t seem to think it was worth her attention. She was already distracted, busy gathering your slick on her fingertips, bringing her hand up and somewhere behind you. For a few seconds, all you could hear were wet, terrible sounds before Luna giggled, squeezing you that much closer to her. You couldn’t remember seeing her this happy since…

Since the day you moved in.

You felt sick.

And yet, Luna remained unaffected. She took a moment to trace aimless, winding patters into the inside of your thigh, then seemed to lose her patience, cupping your cunt and listening to the strangled whine you let out, in response. “You know, for as long as we’ve been together, I don’t think I’ve ever heard you…” She trailed off, laughed, like that was what managed to embarrass her. “Well, touch yourself. I’ve never heard anything through the walls. I know you don’t have any toys, either. I would’ve found them by now. It's no wonder you're so pent-up. You never take the time to do anything nice for yourself.”

She was kind enough to start slowly, to keep the pad of her thumb pressed into your clit as she eased two fingers into your tight, dripping entrance. Painstakingly, she curled her digits before spreading them apart, stretching you open. “You never lock your door, either. At first, I thought you were just being cute in that ‘eager, but too shy to ask’ way, but it’s starting to seem like you’re just oblivious.” She sighed, pressed a kiss into the dip of your shoulder. “I still think it’s sweet, though. Honestly, you should count yourself lucky you ended up with someone willing to take the lead.”

She was merciless, not so much purposefully brutal as it experimental, rough in a way you had to attribute more to Luna’s impatience than any cruelty she might have. She refused to restrain herself to a certain pace, a specific rhythm – speeding up and slowing down at random, curling and straightening and scissoring her fingers apart just to see what made you tense up and shrink into yourself. You tried to bite your tongue, not to give her what you couldn’t deny she wanted, anymore, but there was only so much you could do to keep the air from hitching in your throat, to stop little whines and half-choked moans from stumbling past your lips as forced a third digit into your pussy. You twisted your head to the side, arching away from Luna as far as you could. She only held you tighter, only twisted her wrist more violently as your hips bucked into her hand, your body craving any friction it could inflict onto itself, regardless of the source. “This is going to be the first time I get to watch you cum,” She whispered, her excitement nearly tangible. “You really ought to take better care of yourself. Then, the person who loves you wouldn’t have to work so hard to do it for you.”

You didn’t argue. You couldn’t – you were already clenching down around her fingers, your vision burning white as your climax washed over you. Controlling your reaction would’ve been impossible, so you didn’t try to, spasming and twitching in her arms as she bullied you through your orgasm, only starting to slow down when pangs of overstimulation started to set in and your reactions turned more pained than pleasured. Even then, it took her a few more seconds to pull away, to lower you down until your back was flat against the couch and she was free to stand, to stretch, to position herself in between your open legs. Your thoughts were more coherent, now, less difficult to put together, but you were exhausted, too scared and too drained to move. You couldn’t do anything to get away from her, no matter how badly you might’ve wanted to.

“You’re so beautiful.” You didn’t know why she was still talking. You didn’t know why she bothered to. Trying to hold your attention, pretending it would make a difference if you closed your eyes and kept them closed until you were done. At least, then, the feeling of her lips ghosting over the inside of your thighs wouldn’t have been so vivid, the hands wrapping around your ankles just a little farther away. At least, this time, she didn’t try to draw it out, her lips brushing over your stomach, then your hip, eventually falling low enough for the flat of her tongue to lave over your slit. There was a soft moan, a row of nails burrowed into your skin, then her lips latched onto your clit, sucking gently and sapping out what little life you had left. She waited for you to cry out, then drew back, laughing. “And now, we’ll never have to ignore each other again.”

She sounded happy. You wanted to be happy for her, but you couldn’t seem to summon that much strength.

You let your head lull to the side as she nipped at your thigh, applying just enough force to leave the vulnerable flesh bruised and discolored. Again, she failed to settle on a certain goal, failed to set a pace you could latch onto – opting to keep you on the edge, to alternate between tracing patterns into your slit and fucking your shallowly with her tongue, humming and groaning in a way that seemed to shoot straight to your core. You tried to focus on something else, to keep your eyes on the blankest wall in your peripheral or give in to the cooling numbness slowly taking the place of the heat she’d inflicted onto you, but it was an effort made in vain. She knew you too well, even if you were starting to think you didn’t know her at all.

Her hands drifted to your hips, pinning you to the couch as she spread your legs that much farther, as she moaned shamelessly into your cunt. Everything she did was messy, and selfish, and too fast and too drawn out and too reckless all at the same time and it was working. You’d been helpless when she split you open with her fingers, too desperate to cum to feel anything except that lurking, clawing need, but she was able to edge you towards the cliffside, now, to force you to feel the tension building up in the pit of your stomach, slowly coiling tighter and tighter and tighter until you couldn’t help but clench your thighs together around her head, but ball at the blankets laid out underneath you and squirm, your hips involuntarily rocking against her mouth. This time, when you reached your climax, you were forced to let it wash over you, a frozen wave no less overpowering for how long it took to build up. There was nothing you could do to stave it off, but you weren’t sure you’d be willing to try, anymore.

When it ended, you could only close your eyes, making a weak effort to roll onto your side and curl into yourself. You felt Luna stand, heard her click her tongue before taking you into her arms. Vaguely, you were aware that she was carrying you back to her room, laying you across a plush bed, but you couldn’t bring yourself to care, even as something very cold and very stiff wrapped around your ankle. Luna leaned over you, pressing a lingering kiss into your temple. “It’s alright, love. You can sleep for a while.” Her tone was soft, soothing. You couldn’t help but lean into the palm that pressed into your cheek, to listen as she went on, no matter how difficult it was to listen to her voice, now.

“I’ll be hear to take care of you when you wake up.”

“Passenger seat princess.”

CW: Smut, Car sex, public sex, and dom Eren.

Enjoy~ <3

Football had been keeping Eren away a lot. So all you two had on the week days was late night drives. You practically owned the passenger seat he’d placed various items for you, and you loved it words couldn’t explain the satisfaction you had from sitting there.

“Why don’t you just quit!?” You said with a lowkey attitude. Looking at him drive with one hand.

“You know my dad wants me to do this, plus my team needs me for the playoffs.” You watched his expressions change as he focused on the road.

“I miss street racer you.” You complained and laid back in your seat all dramatically.

“I had the cut that shit out the cops where catching up, and my dad found out.” He said making a turn. The streetlights glided along your legs. You still kept your eyes on him.

You felt his free hand gently grab up on your thigh. “I don’t know why you’re so scared of him.” You said solemnly. “He holds all my future y/n, and he won’t hesitate to give all that shit to Zeke.” His tone getting real rude, and after all that he clenched his jaw.

“I’m sorry for asking shit!” You looked away from his and back to the road. “None of that was towards you, I just stressed about it. I might not like football but he’s been off my ass lately, and he’s been complaining about you less.” He let the last part slip.

“He complains about me?” You laugh and roll your eyes. “He used to think you were a bad influence on me.” He said laughing. “When half the issues started because of you.” Your attitude was showing now.

The hand on your thigh rose up higher. Then you turned back and glared at him. “Eren I’m not in the mood.” You said trying to turn all the way over. But he held tight onto your thigh, and a couple veins showed as he held your thigh in place.

“Look at me.” He said his tone commanding. You turned to him still trying to keep your attitude, and not trying to burst into horny bits. “I cleared it up, and what do I do best?” His hands went further in.

“Clear it up.” Your voice went soft as he soon learned, you wore no panties. “I didn’t hear you.” He said picking on you. “Clear it up~!” His fingers had now ventured into your folds, rubbing up on your clit.

“Good girl.” He said rubbing every so gently. There was a reason he suited out your seat with leather, and he was gonna test it out right now on the expressway.

“Go ahead take those shorts off.” He removed his fingers, and you played right into his hand. You where the most complacent when the deal was demoed to you.

He watched how fast you pulled down your shorts. The street lights made your thighs glisten from your wetness. You also laid against the door with your pussy facing him, he smiled amused at the fact you learned from the past.

His hand ventured back to your folds once again. This time not playing around and sticking his two fingers in, and he worked his magic. Which made you moan ever so loudly.

“What happened to that little attitude?” Eren said smugly as his eyes where still on the road.

“Shut the fuck up~.” You retorted back the best you could. “You still got that damn attitude?” He said quicken his fingers.

Your new moans rivaled the other one in loudness. “Fuck Ren~.” He didn’t respond instead the wet sounds coming from you did. He then proceeded to rubbing your clit just to overstimulate you.

The only thing that was leaving your mouth was failed talk backs to Eren. He’d turned off the exit by now and was finding a parking lot.

His fingered were so good to you, and you felt like you reached the height of your mountain, and you let it all go. Squirting all over your seat, cup holders, arm rest, and his nike shorts.

“Haaa Eren fucking stopp~.” You said as you already came and he was still fingering you, as you’ve gotten so sensitive now.

He turned into the parking lot so quick. And backed in to a spot so fast.

“You still got that damn attitude imma have to fuck it out of you.” Next thing you know he stopped pulled his seat back, and had picked you up by the waist. You where on his lap and he was pulling his dick out.

“Babe I don’t have an attitude no more.” You whined you watched as he took some of the slit from you, and rubbed it on his dick. Just that sight alone made you hungry for more. Once you saw him let go you held onto his shoulders and placed yourself on it.

“You’re a lie I heard it in your voice.” The sentence he produced was so breathy it was driving you crazy. You where just about to make up an attitude, so he could fuck you harder.

“Fuckk R-Renn!~” He was fully in and you where so caught up. You didn’t notice he parked you two in the most populated spot, but his tinted windows covered up most of this sinful scene.

He was about to push up but you had already started bouncing on him, and no amount of tint was going to cover up how the car moved a bit. Eren slapped your ass and then took a nice grip. You changed from holding him to putting your hands up on the roof.

Your face was showing how much you enjoyed it, and Eren was loving it. “I don’t think you learned.” He said groaning a bit after he said that.

“I didn’t~!” You moaned out. He reclined his seat all the way back and pumped up. You almost screamed from how deep he’d gotten. It was brushing all up on your sweet spot, and he kept pumping and pumping.

He’d basically fucked evey last thought out that wasn’t about him. He demanded you pay attention to this, and you gave him every last bit of it.

Once he stopped and looked to you, he watched how you where struggling to sit up. He pulled you down and turned over, to where you where the one laying down. You wrapped your shaking arms around his neck, and he started putting the motion back in. This time instead he was taking his time.

And every sound you made he’d just let it linger. Then the pace started to pick up once more. Each pump was driving you both close to the deep end. Your arms where holding on for dear life, then Eren grabbed one of your hands and placed it on your stomach. You could feel the bulge. Each pump, each twitch, and each thrusts. Was felt Eren was driving you both closer and closer.

And when you where huffing, begging, and whining. He was slowing down his pace. Next thing you know you could feel all the cum getting pumped into you, you could hear him basically moan out your name. Not to soon after you started to flutter around him moaning, and crying in pleasure.

Then you heard heavy knocking on the window.

TONY SHHNOW SHARES NEW ALBUM OUT THE WOODS

The torchbearer for Atlanta’s contemporary mixtape culture and highly-influential "plugg" genre, Tony Shhnow has just shared his new album, Out the Woods and new video, "RollAnotha1". The new release arrives on the heels of his guest verse on “On God” alongside Earl Sweatshirt, from MIKE and Tony Seltzer’s project Pinball. Since his 2020 breakout hit “Vet” (13M+ Streams), Tony Shhnow has taken the reins from prolific Southern Hip-Hop icons like Gucci Mane and Jeezy, releasing multiple mixtapes per year including his critically-acclaimed projects Kill Streak and Reflexions. Emerging as the fresh new face of Atlanta’s flourishing underground, Tony Shhnow’s trance-like sound has influenced his city and beyond with tracks like "Don't Look At Numbers" (5M+ Streams) featuring Brent Faiyaz and the Cashcahe!-produced “real runtz” (15M+ Streams). Embodying everything that’s made Atlanta the Mecca of modern Hip-Hop, from genre-defying visual aesthetics to boundary-shattering flows, Tony Shhnow’s first full-length release of 2024, Out the Woods is out now with features from 3AG Pilot, 1TakeJay and PNDRN, and skits performed by Big Rube and YoDogg.

Led by the singles "Tryna See" and "Watch", Out the Woods embodies the classic ATL mixtape feel, seeing Tony Shhnow return to his roots with a more traditional "plugg" sound that’s accentuated by rapid-fire flows and clever bar work over euphoric production. From a regional star to a key player in the national Hip-Hop landscape, Tony Shhnow has been spreading his wings and working with artists outside of his typical sphere while making his presence felt on the scene during New York Fashion Week, where he was dressed for the Ksubi x Trippie Redd presentation and sat front row for ANNA BOLINA’s FW24 runway show. While he was in the city he also made an appearance at The Lot Radio where he premiered a recent single on Anabelle Kline’s mix for That Good Shit. Following artistic leaps on 2023’s vulnerable Love Streak and the gritty I Can't Feel My Face Too with Robb Bank$, and expanding his horizons through collaborations with TiaCorrine (“Boogie“) and Kenny Mason (“100 or Nun“) as well as MIKE & Earl Sweatshirt on the new “On God”, Tony Shhnow has widened his reach and proven his influence expands far beyond his ATL roots. Boasting an intro delivered by Big Rube, and features from frequent collaborator 3AG Pilot, West Coast spitter 1TakeJay and PNDRN, Out the Woods is out now just in time for Tony Shhnow to set off on his upcoming headlining tour which kicks off in the city on date.

Who is an author that inspires you?

Oh gosh. There's several. I always feel my writing improves temporarily after reading Jacqueline Carey, Ann Bishop, or Brent Weeks. The three of them in particular have a great influence on my writing style. Weeks has an amazing turn of phrase and I've been known to borrow one or two in private writing. Carey writes such lush prose that I aspire to live up to. Bishop's characters have such beautiful depth to them and I try hard to write with as much nuance myself.

Gasoline at pumps in Brazil up again after 15 weeks

Brazil's National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) said in its weekly report Monday that the price of gasoline at pumps nationwide had gone up 1.47% after 15 weeks of successive drops.

Between Oct. 9 and 15, drivers paid an average of R$ 4.86 (US$ 0.92), the ANP document showed.

A 2 % increase at the privately-operated Maritape Refinery was announced last Saturday, in addition to a 9.7 % adjustment a week before. Acelen, the company operating the refinery, followed international market variations, it was explained.

The price of a barrel of Brent crude oil, which fell sharply in September, reaching US$ 82, rose again above US$ 90 this month under the influence of the decision by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to cut down output.

Petrobras, however, has not announced any changes in the prices charged at its refineries for more than a month. The last change was a 7% reduction announced in early September.

"Sensex, Nifty Slide as Foreign Fund Outflows Continue; Tata Motors Plunges Over 9%"

Indian equity indices, Sensex and Nifty, commenced Monday’s trading session on a downward trajectory amidst ongoing foreign fund outflows and subdued cues from US and Asian markets.

Sensex opened 0.27% lower at 72,476.00, down by 187.82 points, while Nifty edged down by 0.12% to 22,028.00, shedding 27.20 points. Despite positive global signals, GIFT Nifty traded at a discount of 180 points, down by 0.81% at 22,949.50.

Tata Motors, a key constituent of the Sensex, witnessed a significant decline, dragging the Nifty Auto index by over 2%. Despite reporting a remarkable surge in consolidated net profit, Tata Motors’ stock plummeted by over 9% to 954.40 per share at 10:30 am.

Other major laggards contributing to the market downturn included Mahindra & Mahindra, JSW Steel, Tata Steel, NTPC, and State Bank of India.

In Asian markets, Japan’s Nikkei and South Korea’s Kospi traded lower, while Hong Kong saw positive gains. Wall Street closed mostly higher, with the NASDAQ composite being the sole exception.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to divest equities worth Rs 2,117.50 crore on Friday, reflecting ongoing bearish sentiments. Meanwhile, Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, dipped to $82.53 a barrel.

Despite a modest climb on Friday, with Sensex gaining 0.36% and Nifty rising by 0.44%, the indices started the new week on a cautious note, influenced by external and domestic factors alike.

Will Brent hit $100 in Q2?

Over the last couple of days, I've been reading a lot of differing analytics referring to recent spikes in oil prices. I can't say that oil prices are constantly on my radar, but I do check them at least once a week. So, below are some of my thoughts and numbers I have found.

Brent oil prices have been trading in the range of $85 to $90 per barrel for a month now, which is a record since September 2023. At the same time, there is occasional market discussion about the possibility of prices rising to $100 per barrel.

The price increase is partly due to the introduction of new OPEC+ quotas since the beginning of this year, which have led to market tightening: while in Q4 2023 global supply exceeded demand by 400 thousand barrels per day (b/d), in Q1 2024 demand already exceeded supply by 250 thousand b/d (Energy Information Administration (EIA) data).

This deficit has led to a reduction in commercial oil and petroleum product inventories in oil-consuming countries: according to the EIA, as of the end of March 2024, their volume decreased by 0.5%, reaching 2735 million barrels - the lowest level in a year and a half. Also impacting is the rise in logistical costs due to the need to bypass the Red Sea, which increases the transportation time from the Middle East to Europe from 19 to 34 days.

So, what shall we expect now?

The emergence of a deficit alongside the reduction in commercial inventories and increased tension in the Middle East has led to oil prices trading at six-month highs. However, prices are unlikely to reach $100 per barrel, partly due to increased supply in Iran, where production reached 3.23 million b/d in Q1 2024 - the highest level since the US embargo.

Iran is not part of the OPEC+ deal, while its key participant countries have faced a record surplus of oil production capacities: according to the EIA, the surplus in oil production capacities in Middle Eastern OPEC countries reached 4.1 million b/d by March 2024, comparable to the current production volume in Iraq, the second-largest oil producer among OPEC countries.

In addition to the surplus (i.e., the potential for rapid production growth), the market will also be influenced by the slowdown in the Chinese economy, which will be associated with the exhaustion of recovery potential after the COVID-19 pandemic. According to IMF forecasts, China's GDP growth will slow from 5.2% in 2023 to 4.6% in 2024.

So, I don’t think that oil prices will reach $100 per barrel: Brent prices by the end of Q2 2024 will balance in the range of $80 to $90 per barrel.

🇺🇸 The Federal Reserve Bank of New York said Monday in its January Survey of Consumer Expectations that inflation a year and five years from now were unchanged at readings of 3% and 2.5%, respectively, while the projected rise in inflation three years from now dropped to 2.4%, the lowest since March 2020, from December’s 2.6%. Traders awaited January's Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) this week to gauge prospects for interest rate cuts. 🇬🇺 Inflation in Germany, Europe's biggest economy, eased in January to 3.1%, adding fuel to bets on when the European Central Bank will begin easing rates. However, euro zone bond yields DE10YT=RR hit multi-week highs after several ECB rate setters warned against easing monetary policy too early. 🇯🇵 Japanese shares hit 34-year highs. The yen JPY= recovered after falling to a 10-week low, with traders reassessing their bets on how quickly the Bank of Japan might raise rates. 🇨🇳 BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle company, passed Tesla in electric cars sold worldwide after its sales grew by a million cars in each of the past two years. The company has a walled town in Shenzhen, where a monorail carries workers from 18-story apartment towers, and it is building the world’s largest car carrier ships. BYD has also begun setting up assembly lines across the world: Over 80 percent of its sales are in China, but exports to Europe are expanding. 🇺🇸 The Nasdaq slipped afternoon after briefly surpassing its record closing high from November 2021, while the Dow rose modestly ahead of two U.S. inflation reports this week that could influence Federal Reserve policy. * Dow 38,807 (+135/+0.35%) * S&P 5,022 (-4/-0.08%) * Nasdaq 15,947 (-42/-0.27%) 🇬🇺 European markets kicked off the new trading week higher, as investors continued to monitor corporate earnings and the interest rate outlook. ⛽️ Oil futures settled little changed as concerns about interest rates and global demand caused the market to take a break after prices jumped about 6% last week on worries Middle East tensions could cause supply problems. * Crude oil $76.92 (+0.08/+0.1%) * Brent crude $82.00 (-0.19/-0.2%) 👑 Gold prices slipped ahead of U.S. inflation data and comments from Federal Reserve officials that could offer insight into the central bank’s interest rate plans. U.S. gold futures also fell 0.5% to $2,029.20 per ounce. 🌴 FCPO April (RM3,881, +7) settled higher on Friday and posted a weekly gain ahead of the Lunar New Year festive period, buoyed by expectations of declining production in the world's second-biggest producer. The contract gained 3.12% for the week. Malaysian palm oil futures showed strong buying momentum mirroring gains in related soybean oil on the Chicago Board of Trade's overnight close, which received support from volatile soybeans. Malaysia's palm oil stocks likely fell for three consecutive months to end-January, in line with low seasonal production. Palm oil stocks were seen falling to 2.14 million metric tons in January, down 6.62% from December, according to 10 traders, planters and analysts.

Oil Prices Dip 1% Amid Eased Shipping Concerns in the Red Sea

Oil prices experienced a downturn of approximately 1% on Thursday, marking a decline in response to easing apprehensions regarding shipping disruptions along the Red Sea route. Despite ongoing tensions in the Middle East, concerns about immediate shipping disruptions appeared to subside.

Front month February Brent crude futures witnessed a decrease of 90 cents, approximately 1.1%, trading at $78.75 per barrel, with the more active March contract down by 69 cents, about 0.9%, settling at $78.85 a barrel. Similarly, U.S. WTI crude futures also saw a decline, dropping by 80 cents or about 1.1%, to $73.31 a barrel.

Shifts in Shipping Routes

Denmark’s Maersk, a major player in the shipping industry, announced a significant alteration in its operational routes. The company intends to reroute the majority of its container vessels sailing between Asia and Europe through the Suez Canal, reducing diversions around Africa significantly. This decision reflects a shift from the recent trend where major shipping firms avoided Red Sea routes due to security concerns following disruptions caused by Yemen’s Houthi militant group targeting vessels.

Geo-Political Dynamics Impacting Market

While tensions persist in the Red Sea region, attempts by a U.S.-led coalition to ease tensions and ensure security have not yielded the anticipated coordinated action. The complexities of geo-political conflicts in the Middle East, notably the conflict in Gaza, have influenced international dynamics, impacting responses to the situation in the Red Sea.

Market Anticipation and Data Outlook

The oil market now awaits U.S. government data on fuel stockpiles, which is expected to provide insights delayed due to the Christmas holiday. Initial data from the American Petroleum Institute indicated a surprising rise of 1.84 million barrels in crude stocks, contrary to earlier estimations suggesting a drop of 2.7 million barrels.

Economic Factors Shaping Oil Demand

Anticipations of potential interest rate cuts in Europe and the U.S. in 2024 have instilled a positive outlook for oil demand. Analysts suggest that market sentiments may prompt a resurgence in oil prices in the early new year, underpinned by expectations of a recovery in fuel demand due to monetary easing in the United States and increased kerosene demand during the northern hemisphere’s winter season.

Hiroyuki Kikukawa, president of NS Trading, a unit of Nissan Securities, highlighted these factors, emphasizing the potential for market resurgence amid evolving economic conditions.
