The EU wants unity against its loose clauses in Hungary and Slovakia

It isn't simply Hungarian Viktor Orbán. The arrival of a brand new Slovak prime minister, the pro-Russian Robert Fico, has proven that free verses threaten EU seams simply as Brussels breathes a sigh of aid with Poland's return to the fold, thanks nearly actually. The nomination of Donald Tusk as the brand new Prime Minister after eight years of anti-European and populist authorities by the Regulation and Justice Social gathering (PIS).After Ukraine, now the battle within the Center East - with new open fronts - twenty-seven weeks sought to provide a powerful picture of unity to what was already fragile, with out the incoherent gestures of the Hungarian prime minister and his current Brussels, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has triggered deep unrest within the EU, his Assembly in China. Added to that is the thriller of the brand new Slovak head of presidency, who got here to energy promising to finish navy help to Ukraine, which he introduced earlier than touchdown within the Belgian capital to fulfill along with his European companions.The assembly of heads of state and authorities in Brussels this Thursday was additionally Hungarian Orbán's first assembly along with his European counterparts since his essential assembly with Putin, which sparked widespread outrage for a very good a part of 27. Removed from expressing anger, Orban appeared "proud" of his assembly in Beijing after his arrival on the European Council this Thursday, simply as 600 days have handed for the reason that conflict in Ukraine, with the Russian president, who has been below arrest warrant since March for "unlawful deportation of Ukrainian kids". Arrested by the Worldwide Felony Courtroom on expenses of conflict crimes for involvement."Russia and Hungary have a standard neighbor, Ukraine. We now have a peace technique and we need to hold all channels of communication open. It is a technique we're happy with," stated Orban, who has advocated a ceasefire between Moscow and Kiev."We're totally different from the bulk, from the ways right here," he admitted to the press. "You could have a conflict technique, we've a peace technique and we need to do every little thing for peace," he pressured.Though many international locations do not forget that Orbán is an outdated acquaintance and it's troublesome for him to shock, the assembly went badly on the eve of a gathering, the place, in accordance with varied diplomatic sources, a number of leaders wished to rebuke the Hungarian prime minister. For his interview with Putin."Within the face of a rustic (Ukraine) that's attacked day-after-day by Russia, it is a actual reduce within the sleeve," Luxembourg's outgoing prime minister, Xavier Bettel, criticized after his arrival on the summit. The Lithuanian head of presidency additionally didn't cover his anger. The EU "doesn't have the appropriate to conflict fatigue" in Ukraine, "one thing essential in the mean time as a result of I see that some international locations are beginning to set up a form of particular diplomacy with the regime, whose military is committing atrocities," he commented.Putin "is a conflict legal: he began this conflict of aggression in opposition to a sovereign nation, he deported kids, the Worldwide Felony Courtroom issued arrest warrants. "I do not need to be in the identical image as that man," stated Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas.Additionally in Paris, the Chinese language assembly between Putin and Orbán collapsed. "It's clear that the sign despatched by that image just isn't optimistic or helpful," fairly one thing "not very helpful," famous Elysée sources on the eve of the Brussels summit, though on the similar time they recalled that, though the Hungarian explosion, "on the underside line" 20- Seven are shifting ahead and consensus has been reached on key Ukrainian points.Because the spring, Budapest has blocked the newest bundle of 500 million euros in navy help for Ukraine, whose president Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the 20-seven through video convention this Thursday to "stress Ukraine's accession to the EU, how safety" connects Europe and the Center East and the previous. European unity is required to keep away from errors."A message that the brand new Slovak prime minister, Robert Fico, will need to have heard, was seen with reluctance by his European companions, exactly due to his pro-Russian stance. On the eve of the assembly, a number of capitals known as for a vote of confidence in him, arguing that it's not the identical when somebody is campaigning as soon as they've taken workplace.The indicators, nevertheless, do not look good: Simply because the leaders have been arriving in Brussels, Fico made good on his marketing campaign promise and introduced the top of navy help to Ukraine. "We contemplate help to Ukraine solely humanitarian and civilian help, we'll now not provide arms to Ukraine," he introduced a day after taking workplace in a coalition with the pro-Russian far-right social gathering.The impression of the choice, reacted European diplomatic sources in Brussels, is minimal or non-existent, since Slovakia has already exhausted its stockpile of weapons that it could possibly provide to Ukraine. And that is not a shock both, they added. Nevertheless, the message continues to be disturbing at a time when many European leaders have warned to not "cease wanting" at Ukraine regardless of the rising battle within the Center East.The uneasiness over Orbán's newest problem and the uncertainty that Fico nonetheless represents represents a distinction to the large aid with which Brussels greeted the victory of the coalition led by Donald Tusk and which guarantees to finish a significant European headache, Poland.Though Tusk has but to sit down down with different European leaders, main EU establishments have given him a close to red-carpet reception on the eve of the summit. The fee's president, Ursula von der Leyen, declared herself "assured" that, below the duty's management, "quite a few factors of settlement" can be achieved on varied points to which Warsaw now has objections.Tusk, who additionally met the president of the European Parliament, Roberta Metzola, and attended the assembly of the European Folks's Social gathering (EPP) earlier than the summit this Tuesday, assured for his half that his intention is to "rebuild the place". Europe's Poland and "strengthen your complete EU." For the previous President of the European Council (2014-2019), "the election outcomes have clearly demonstrated to all of Europe that democracy, the rule of regulation, freedom of expression, European unity are nonetheless vital to our residents." A smiling von der Leyen could not agree extra.

Sharpen: Thanks for taking me on such short notice, Trixany's Goblin step-sister.

Sharpen: Well. I never thought I'd confide in a Goblin about my deeply personal problems. I thought you all were functionally insane as a race. Ya know, because kajamite.

Coco: *twirls her colorful, coifed pigtail hair* Well if I can make ya high-functioning insane too, then that's a plus. Right?

Sharpen: I guess. Also... what explosion??

Coco: Sharpen. Do ya feel like, on the inside, things have exploded for you emotionally? Like the wreckage of the life-changing event is a smoking heap upon ya soul, and the walls are splattered by the gruesome carnage of what befell ya?

Sharpen: What. You think my heart is like some kind of nasty, trashed, indoor Goblin footbomb stadium right now??

Sharpen: With Kaja-Cola spilled on the sticky tarmac, and then there's spilled popcorn over that. I'm stuck. I just keep stepping in it...

Sharpen: People are screaming that I failed to make the catch on the 300-yard line, and now I'm shaking uncontrollably, roasting in the sallow yellow spotlight, and I'm tears?

Sharpen: ...

Sharpen: Oh goddes! It is exactly like that. How did you know?? *cries*

Coco: *clicks cutesy sparking dynamite pen, starts taking notes* Footbomber, engineer or burlesque artist, ya performas are all the same. It's stage anxiety, hun. Probably.

Sharpen: Oh, this thing I'm dealing with is so personal and embarrassing. It could never be seen on a stage. So I really do hope I can trust you, Trixany's sister.

Coco: How. Very. Interestiiiing! *scribbles faster*

Girl Genius written by Phil & Kaja Foglio of TPU, with drawings by Prof. P. Foglio for #webcomicwednesday From the FAQ: Girl Genius is a Gaslamp fantasy set in Europe, 18 years after the Heterodyne boys went missing. Okay, what's a "Gaslamp Fantasy?" Influences include Jules Verne and H. Rider Haggard. Expect big, clanking Victorian-style tech, old-fashioned clothes, Frankenstein monsters and airships. Lots and lots of airships. Is it magic? Is it science? A little of both, I suppose – it's Mad Science. ... Agatha Clay is having a very bad day: she is robbed by ex-soldiers and her locket is stolen, she's late for her lab assistant job at the University, another one of her robotic creations has exploded, and Baron Wulfenbach - the tyrant that rules the city - has just arrived weeks early with his son to inspect the lab. And so Agatha's adventure begins 😄 Agatha has to take a crash course in learning about people and the world outside of the University and her parents' mechanic shop, and sometimes that's literal crashing 😅 Agatha's story starts off in black and white but soon turns to colour when the locket is lost, with those colours becoming bolder and brighter as more time passes. Agatha's confidence in herself and her abilities grows within the first volume alone, and I'm looking forward to seeing where she goes and what she does. These have also been published into books and are likely in your library 😄❤️ It's not quite steampunk, though there are airships, and it's not just magic, though there are sparks involved - like the FAQ said, it's Mad Science 😄 #girlgenius #girlgeniuscomics #webcomic #webcomic #gaslampfantasy #fantasy #magic #steampunk #madscience https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqAMUKSDpo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thunderstruck

Orgrimmar, After the Sword of Sargeras was Neutralized.

Titanstrike, one of the legendary weapons of Azeroth, forged by the titan keeper Mimiron himself. A legendary rifle, the very pinnacle of ranged weaponry… or so it was.

When the fallen titan Sargeras plunged his blade into Azeroth, the fel energies coursing through the corrupted metal threatened to destroy the planet from within. Only by gathering several heroes from across the land, with weapons of equal might, were they able to defeat it. Khadgar wove a spell drawing the energies from the blade into their own weapons, turning the blade inert but destroying the legendary weapons in the process.

Grimo was not happy about that. He’d considered it a horrible waste. The gun was a marvel of engineering, even if a giant robot gnome had made it!

But he was a goblin, and goblins weren’t shy about throwing money around to fix problems.

He sat in his workshop midway along the Drag, leaning back in his chair and smoking a cigar, and listening.

At precisely the second bell of morning he grinned, hearing a faint rhythmic knocking sound. He hopped out of the chair and ambled quickly to the door, opening it up and waving the waiting figure inside. “C’mon c’mon, nobody saw ya right buddy?” he asked.

“What do you take me for? I’m a professional.” grunted the taller figure, pulling back the hood of his cloak to reveal hair so blond it was almost white and long pointed ears. An elf… and one could tell by his leather armor, blackened to hide in dark places, and the twin daggers at his hips that he was not one to shy from the less than legal pursuits. “Its right here Grimo.” he added, pulling out a long thin package from under his cloak.

The goblin’s eyes flashed and he reached out, but the elf took a quick step back and waved a finger, “Ah ah… I believe it was… two thousand gold coins?” he said with a smirk.

Grimo frowned, then stomped his way over to a safe and after making sure to block the elf’s view he entered the combination, taking out a large leather bag that made a rich clanking sound. “Here, ya wanna fuckin’ count it too?” he snorted, tossing it to him.

“Not at all, that’s bad form. Trust is essential in our business…” he smiled back, picking up the bag and placing the package on the table. “If anyone from Trueshot Lodge comes by you never met me.” he nodded, going to the door and slipping out into the late night gloom.

Sam Montebank slipped the coin purse onto his belt. Another job well done… time to deposit his earnings at the Broken Tusk.

Back in the workshop Grimo unwrapped the package and took a breath. “Jackpot baby…” he grinned.

There on the table lay Titanstrike, though the blue metal had lost its magical sheen and the ammo cartridge lay dark. The fel eneriges of the sword had robbed it of its power.

Grimo hefted it and aimed at a target on the wall, pulling the trigger once, then twice, then on the fourth try a small spark sputtered from the barrel. “Yep, totally fucked. Well, I’m a damn goblin AND an engineer! If I can’t fix this baby nobody can!” he smirked, getting out his toolbox from under the table, then getting a six pack of kaja cola from out of the fridge. “Gonna be an all nighter!” he cackled, pulling out a spanner and getting to work.

The next day, around noon.

Nitika walked along the path through the Valley of Honor with Mola’raum, looking around at the crowds. “Everyone seems tense today Mola…” she muttered to the death knight, the taureness wearing robes of sky blue stitched with gold designs, her eagle-headed staff clasped in her right hand.

“Yah sistah. Word be de boss lady be plannin’ somethin’. Be hearin’ some rumors bout da sword down in Sithilus kickin’ some shit up…” he grunted, the undead troll wearing his usual deathly black robes with metal patches, a spear slung over his shoulder with runes that glowed a venomous green.

“You would think after defeating the Burning Legion we’d be all about celebration… but all it would take is one push to send everyone in Orgrimmar over the edge…” she frowned.

Mola’raum nodded, “… hum… speakin’ of dat… wonder where Grimo be…” he mused.

Grimo’s Workshop

Grimo pulled back his goggles and rubbed his bleary bloodshot eyes. All six cans had been totally drained of every drop of kaja cola to keep him going, his hands caked with grease and soot, but he’d done it…

Titanstrike’s original power was gone, he couldn’t fix THAT, but he could make it better! He cackled and held it aloft over his head, grinning toothily. The ammo cartridge on the back was gone, replaced with a tesla ball packed so full of motes of lightning that it glowed like a miniature sun, the barrel widened and extended as well, and the whole thing remade.

“Boom baby!” he grinned, “This’ll turn some damn heads! Waste a beauty like this on some big fuckin’ pig sticker eh? Fuck that idiot dwarf for wreckin’ it on that stupid sword, I’ll put this thing to proper use!” he cackled.

He put the stock against his shoulder, aiming it at the target on his wall… “Right, time for the moment of truth… three… twooooo… one!”

ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPOOW!

Every window on Grimo’s workshop lit up with a light so bright that it seared the windowsills, the goblin letting out a sudden scream from inside before, with a tremendous crash, he was blasted upwards through the ceiling by a massive blast of electricity!

“SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! FUCK FUCK SHIT FUCK SHIT FUUUUUUUCK!!” he screamed, the trigger stuck fast as the tesla ball disgorged the charge into the ground below, blasting the diminuitive goblin a good quarter mile in the air, anchored to the ground by what was basically a constant bolt of lightning!

As the goblin rose above the buildings the blast of lightning broke free from his workshop floor and began to arc its way along the Drag, and as it did bedlam erupted. Members of the Horde ran for cover in all directions as carts, crates, buildings, anything below the frantic goblin was blown to pieces!

“LOOK OUT! RUN GODSDAMMIT! I’M NOT PAYING FOR THAT! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!” he screamed, though between his height and the constant roar of the gun it was likely nobody heard him.

The Valley of Honor

Nitika looked up, her mouth agape as she watched the blast of energy tearing across the city. “… Mola’raum?” she asked.

The death knight stared up with her, his glowing blue eyes wide, “Yah sistah?” he asked.

“WHAT, IN AN’SHE’S NAME, AM I LOOKING AT?!” she shouted.

Mola’raum squinted, shading his eyes as he peered up at the top of the bolt, “Uh… can’t really make it out from ‘ere, but looks like da blast be comin’ outta some sorta… stick… held by some tiny… green…”

Nitika’s eye twitched, flashing from yellow to purple, “… don’t tell me…”

Mola’raum’s ears perked up however. His trollish hearing was better than some of the other races of the Horde. He let out a long sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Yah. It be fookin’ Grimo up dere.”

Nitika’s eyes glowed purple as she gripped her staff so hard the wood creaked, “Of COURSE it is… all of Orgrimmar is ready to lose it with all these rumors about new weapons and HE makes a damn lightning cannon!” she snarled, her head snapping up as her eyes turned solidly violet… “I’m going to tear his ears off.”

At the Broken Tusk Sam was sitting at one of the outside tables, watching the show with a mug of orcish ale. “… should’ve charged him more.” he muttered under his breath… then his eyes widened and he dove inside as the bolt changed direction and began to tear across the Valley of Strength!

All of this couldn’t go unnoticed however.

The doors to Grommash Hold were thrown open and a pair of red eyes flashed in the gloom as another elf strode out, one with deathly pale skin and bone-white hair. “What is causing all this noise out here?!” demanded Sylvannas.

Her two Deathguards looked back at her, then one of their heads snapped up and in a echo-y voice the forsaken shouted “LOOK OUT!” and they both immediately tackled the warchief and dove back into the Hold just as the bolt of lightning ripped apart the ground where they’d been standing.

Mola’raum winced as the pair arrived in out of the tunnel through the drag, having run past the wreckage the gun had already caused just in time to see Grimo's weapon streak past the front gates of the hold, “… aaaaand Grimo almost got de boss lady.” he grumbled to Nitika.

The taureness’s teeth were grinding together. “Rip his ears off, shove that spanner up his nose, break that damn rifle over his head…” she growled under her breath, the shadows seeming to get darker around her.

“Yah, but… how ya gonna be doin’ dat? We can’t fight in de air, ‘n he be pretty far up dere.” observed the death knight.

At this Nitika’s grimace turned into a nasty grin. “Grimo built it. Which means knowing him it should break any minute…”

And sure enough, as it began to head towards the Valley of Spirits the lighting bolt narrowed, then sputtered, then died, and Grimo realized he was way up in the air above what was left of Orgrimmar supported only by the fact that gravity hadn’t seemed to have noticed yet. “… uh oh.” he winced, then slowly he began to fall.

“SHIT SHIT SHIT! GO GO GOBLIN GLIDER!” he shouted, slamming a button on his belt as his backpack sprang open and deployed a pair of large batlike wings made of leather and wood. The wind caught in them and Grimo cackled, “HAHA! Not today ya mooks! I’m headin’ ta Gadgetzan!” he cackled, angling towards the gates. “Yessir! Surf and sun an- ACK!” he yelped, coming to a dead stop… he looked up and saw that the right wing had smacked into one of the spires along the city wall, the sharp metal puncturing through the leather… and pinning him in place. He hung there a good five feet off the ground, unable to disconnect the wings from his backpack or get down at all on his own. “… shit…” he whimpered as he heard footsteps.

Sylvannas Windrunner emerged from the stairs to the inside of the battlements, Nathanos Blightcaller following beside her as she stormed towards the goblin.

“H-hey, Warchief! Little weapons malfunction, nothin’ major. Just got a few bugs to tweak ‘n this baby will be ready for mass production in no time!” he chuckled nervously.

“Goblin…” she growled, “Do you realize that half of Orgrimmar is ON FIRE right now?” she narrowed her eyes.

“Half?” he looked back, “Oh, huh… guess the fires from the Drag spread a bit… uh… um… I can explain…” he muttered.

Sylvannas folded her arms over her chest, looking at him as if her glare alone could bore a hole through his skull. Grimo was more worried by the fact that her scream could make his heart explode inside his chest. “… I cannot WAIT to hear it…” she whispered icily, then both her head and Grimo’s turned to the stairs.

The shadows inside had turned inky black as a loud echoing stomping sound came up the stairs, so loud it almost felt like the whole wall was shaking.

Sylvannas’ eyebrows went up and Nathanos reached for his bow, but a hand from the warchief stopped him. “Wait…” she whispered.

Grimo whimpered, his ears drooping, “Oh no…” he swallowed.

Nitika’s voice came from inside the stairwell, echoing like the voice of some eldritch monster, “GRIIIIIIMOOOOO..." she roared, “WHAT, BY ALL THE GODS, DID. YOU. DO?!”

Grimo’s face paled, and he glanced at Sylvannas. “Sylvy, I will give you all the gold I got if you kill me right now.” he stammered.

Sylvannas looked between him and the furious taureness storming towards them, then smirked, “No… I think I’m going to let this play out.”

“… you bitch.” he whispered.

“That’s Warchief, goblin.” she snapped, then walked past the tauren, “He’s all your’s.” she said, “Just make sure he doesn’t do something like this again.” she sighed, “Nathanos, go rally the shaman, get the fires put out before the whole city burns down!”

Grimo whimpered and fumbled in his pouch for his hearthstone. Fuck Gadgetzan, he’s going to hide out in Shattrath! He’d need a whole other world to keep his skin this time… then the hearthstone went flying as a large hand grabbed his ankle. “WAIT NO! NITIKA! DAMMIT I’M YOUR BOSS! YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO- MUH!” is as far as he got before Nitika’s other hand, balled into a fist, hit his face with the force of a rifle shot.

Nitika pulled the unconscious goblin off the battlements, tossing him to Mola’raum. “Get that lunatic back to Bilgewater Harbor and keep an eye on him!” she snapped, holding up Titanstrike. The barrel was blackened now and the tesla ball was empty. “I’m going to get out a map of Azeroth, point to a random spot on it, go there, and bury this thing before he can blow anything else up!”

thanks for tagging me @igenll

i'll tag @devilfwb @fandomshavecollided @thegirlthatsdancingintherain @istantoomanypeeps 💕💕

[halloweencatsart]

I also redesigned these guys!

[druidcore]

nsfw alphabet and split it up between all of our muses because... stealing your words... IDC DO IT DANI

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

Tessa I can imagine being super snuggly after sex. Running her finger down Ford’s chest, sighing contentedly like a happy little kitten. She stretches out, burrows down into the bed and will stroke Ford all over. Her hands will grip his biceps and rub all the way down to his hands and up again, while she hums. 

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

April’s favorite body part for herself is actually her stomach. She’s spent hours before in front of her mirror running her hands over her taut skin, admiring the way her ribs don’t protrude, but expand like wings wrapped around her heart. She deeply romanticizes forgotten ares of her body showing them the love that the rest of her body gets without prompting, but her stomach is her favorite one. She intends to preserve it forever. 

On Dominic, her favorite body part is his back. It’s corded with muscle speaking of years and years of dedicated work and labor. She daydreams daily of kissing him there, an inch above his jeans all the way to the nape of his neck. Her fingers itch to knead into his skin, working out all the tension and stress knotted there. His back is magnificent. 

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

One of Rhiannon’s dirtiest fantasies is to have not one –– but multiple people cum on her face. There’s something to the act, a little degrading and a little rewarding which pleases her. To be an object of desire that not just one but two (or even three) guys are obsessed with is something that has always fascinated her. She’s never admitted it to anyone though, out of partial shame and fear that she’ll be ridiculed or slut-shamed for it. Opinions on the matter tend to vary, and if she’d ever do it, she’d want to do it with people that wouldn’t make her feel dirty (in a bad way) for it. 

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Penelope once masturbated in the Quidditch stands. She was one of the only people there –– it was a cold day out –– and the Slytherin team was likely practicing and she was trying to study, but the more she watched them practice, the more she got the urge to do something a little… dirty. And before she knew it, her fingers were her down her skirt, behind her books. She came once and instantly stopped. The whole experience was incredible, but extremely nerve-wracking and she never did anything of the like again. 

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Safe to say Mandy’s got little to no experience. The first boyfriend she had tried to pressure her into sex and she didn’t want to and ended up running out of his house. The most they did was over the top petting and he made her stroke him and she hated it because he kept pointing out everything she was doing wrong, and it was all just too much too fast. And then her next boyfriend was a kid from her mom’s Church, and she set them up, and when Mandy was making out with him and actually wanted to jerk him off, he shamed her and made her feel dirty. Her relationships since have been with guys who make out with her and bring her to family events and stuff, but she always gets cheated on with other girls “willing to put out”. Because she’s from a small town there’s word around that she’s a goody goody among the school kids and then that she’s promiscuous among the church kids. Either way, no one is giving her any, so she hasn’t had chances to explore what she likes or not. 

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

Ronan’s favorite position is actually simple missionary –– he likes to see a woman’s pleasure on her face as he’s, ahem, giving it to her. And honestly, what woman would protest that? Having him above with a hand braced on the wall, driving into her? It’s been nothing than successful so far. 

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Zahra is definitely kinda goofy. She likes to make her partners feel comfortable and will probably like laugh and smile a lot during sex, which sometimes intimidated some of her ex boyfriends because they weren’t secure in their confidence as a result of hers. She likes having fun, wild sex and trying new things and sometimes kind of embarrassing incidents occur and sometimes you just have to laugh them off and she’s great at that. 

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

Before the whole apocalypse started, Willa occasionally shaved down there when she had to –– for bikini season and for swimming classes. But after, obviously things sort of took a turn. Razors weren’t really one of the most important things to stock-pile or focus on, so that… kind of took a backseat to bigger and more important things. Still, when her and JP started sleeping together, she put an effort into finding a pair of scissors at at least trimming a little when things got too wild. She’s not too bothered about the situation down there though, she’s never been too hairy, and honestly if he can’t deal with her body hair during the zombie apocalypse, there’s no way they’re ever going to make it out of it. 

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…) 

Nesrin has a hard time being intimate, if she thinks about it. Her favorite sex positions are reverse cow-girl and doggy, just because that level of eye contact and kissing during sex are so... intense and she never knows how to handle it. She’s never really had sex with someone she was in love with, and whether she knows it or not, it’s like she’s subconsciously waiting to be fully intimate (and romantic) with someone she does genuinely have feelings for. Malcolm, probably, would be the first. Uh oh. 

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

Fallon can never get herself off. It’s just one of those things where it’s unsatisfying and she’s always left more frustrated after than before. She can’t manage to get out of her head –– she needs to be firmly planted in the moment to really get off. Her inability to do so leaves her feeling discontent and insecure. She’s tried –– believe her, but at a certain point she sort of just gave up and hasn’t bothered to keep trying. Now she only orgasms when someone (Graham) gives her one. 

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Mera’s definitely got a huge daddy kink and is always interested in a lg/dd type relationship. She wants to be pampered in every aspect of life and being “daddy’s little princess” is something that highly appeals to her. Her dating history has always landed her with attractive but trifling and broke men and so she needs someone sturdy and reliable, but still a little wild and sexy (and preferably rich lmao) to lay it down good, and spoil her with goodies and love and lots of sex.

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

Dana’s favorite places to “do the do” are pretty wild, as compared to the usual bed, bathroom, etc. She likes doing it in wide open spaces. Her biggest fantasy is to do it in big palace courtyard or something of the sort. Other places that rank up there are rooftops (element of danger there, obviously) and her high-school basketball court (the acoustics in that thing are phenomenal okay??). 

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

There’s just something about sexting in plain view which gets Lauren wet like no other. When her and Josh are on opposite ends of the counter, looking so innocent as they wait for new customers in silence, but being so absolutely filthy in reality, she sometimes feels like she could hop onto the counter and ask him to have sex right there and then. 

And the way his arms flex whenever he does anything flexible is also an incredible turn on. He’s got strong arms, and large palms. She finds herself daydreaming about their imprint on her ass more often than not. 

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Taylor’s absolute biggest no-no is anything to do with bodily fluids separate from cum. No golden showers, none of that. Despite being pretty nasty in bed, this is the one thing she’ll be super judgemental about and easily disgusted by, not only because personal hygiene is important to her, but because she also thinks it spawns terrible expectations and ideas in people’s minds. 

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Wes likes to receive more –– but that’s just because he’s so used to giving in all other aspects of his life, that getting feels like a huge gift to him? I feel like he really savors and appreciates every single blowjob he ever gets. As for his own skill in giving, his first girlfriend was older than him and boy did teach him him well. 

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Cassia is as #romantic #aesthetic sex as it gets. I’m talking like, candles and having slow sex in the moonlight. It’s hips writhing like the slow roll of the ocean waves and the drawn-out rise and plunge of herself on his length. It’s the complete opposite of frenzied. It’s intense, and yes, incredibly sensual. It’s a stimulation all over the body, everywhere they touch. 

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

It depends on the person she’s with, when it comes to Aislinn. She’s come to hate them with her boyfriend, because it feels impersonal and almost disrespectful, but she has a feeling that might not be the case with Jax, because he actually pays her pleasure attention. 

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Parker’s kind of wild tbh. He’s experimented a lot. He love love loves rectal stimulation and is always down to try new things, including but not limited to: threesomes, sex parties, sex swings, swinging… Anything along those lines he’s always ready to try at least once. His mantra happens to be: try it once, and if you don’t like it try it again just to make sure. 

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

Justine is kind of-kind of not a virgin. There’s never been time to lose her virginity to someone, as in have sex, but she has broken her hymen before using –– yes, you guessed it –– a hairbrush. It hurt a lot and she had to weather it herself, but it hasn’t scared her off sex. She just hasn’t had time to have a boyfriend or anything, but she’s eager to actually have sex for the first time, especially since she won’t have to deal with the pesky issue of losing her virginity to someone who’ll blunder through it. She wants someone experienced who will take care of her right. But again, where even is the time? 

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

Tessa has tons, tons, tons of toys. In her line of work she prided herself on not having to sleep with anyone, but since a) not many of her past boyfriends had ever been adept at finding her G spot (or her clit) and b) she’s sometimes had to go through long dry spells without sex, she’s built up quite a nice little collection of toys. She tends to prefer dildos to vibrators because most brands tickle her too much, even though dildos are more work. Her favorite one is a waterproof clear silicone one that she saves just for when she wants to take a bath or shower –– which is, for some reason, her favorite place to masturbate. Something about the steam and the atmosphere. 

She’s proud of her toys, and even when she’s in a relationship with Ford, she won’t throw them away. They’re her babies –– in fact, she might even have names for some of them. 

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Tessa is not a tease. Not at all. She has very little patience when it comes to someone she actually likes. If she wants him, she’ll make it obvious and she’ll go for it. And as for being teased, she has a love/hate relationship with it because on one hand she’s getting the attention she wants, but on the other hand, god damn it, its not enough –– she wants more. 

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Taylor is, of course, loud. Not only is she loud, she’s vocal about everything she’s feeling too. She grunts when Tyler bottoms out, she swears when she’s close to the edge, and during particularly exhaustive romps where they’ve fucked more than once in one night, his name tends to blur into other words. And she’s always been this way –– uninhibited. She’s the roommate you never want to have because sometimes not even wearing headphones is enough to block her out. If you’ll recall, she’s got the lungs of a future broadway star. Her voice can pitch super high –– the shitty university dorm walls never stood a chance. 

BONUS: Tessa gets… very complimenting in bed. Ford can expect a lot of “oh god, I love your cock! don’t stop!” during and after. She’s also opinionated and will easily give directions like, “go faster!” “harder!” etc. until it’s perfect and by then she can hardly speak, save for the gibberish that’s coming out of her mouth. 

EXTRA BONUS: Fallon is quiet. She’s not a screamer, she’s not loud, but in contrast it’s intense and earth-shattering the way she comes. Her breathing deepens and stills and she makes these short keening gasps the closer she gets to orgasm. She’ll try to moan Graham’s name, but the sheer pleasure makes it impossible for her to get past the first three letters before her eyes are rolling to the back of her head and she’s coming for him. 

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

It had to happen. It’s not that she’s got a dirty mind (alright, she sort of does) but they work at a bagel shop, for Christ’s sake. It’d be criminal of them to not take advantage of the fact. One day Lauren proposes to Josh that they make a bagel with a hole big enough to fit his dick through because… Well, why not? All the tools (pun intended) are at their disposal, and they’ve got the whole place to themselves after they lock up. Even if he doesn’t agree, it was worth a shot to ask, and to see the look on his face. 

And if he does agree? Well, she loves Bagels, and she loves Josh’s dick so… Best of both worlds. 

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Yeah, Jasey definitely has a piercing down there. Her clit is pierced, something she got done when she was 18 and wanted to do something wild. Her and her best friend got it done together and cheered each other on. Jasey swore up a storm when it was done, because she’s incredibly sensitive down there. It also was a very hard healing process for her because it got infected once, but she took care of it afterwards and now it’s all good. She also happens to not shave or wax, but trips the pubes when they get too long. Her hair is light brown and slightly coarse, and grows slowly. She has to do maintenance maybe every three weeks. 

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Kaja’s sex drive has never been too high. She’s been called a prude many times simply because of it. Sex has just never been one of her primary, or even secondary interests. She’s also never met anyone where the connection between them has been electric. To be honest, her life has been pretty bland, as far as things go. She entirely expects for sex to be the same, even when others claim it’s this awesome, epic thing. 

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Nat never really falls asleep after sex. Due to always having to be on the run and on the move, there’s never anytime to sleep, and even if there was, she usually never trusts people enough to fall asleep next to them. However, down the line with Nik, I can imagine that show of like… vulnerability almost where she’d finally allow herself to nod off? I don’t know if she’d tell him the significance of it, though.

If you're still doing your LoSH Owl House AU can I suggest Clark and Querl defeating Grom?

Okay, so maybe Clark hadn’t realized how nervous and scared Querl would be.

And maybe, in an effort to lighten his spirits by making a joke (“You’re probably used to anything called the “Fear-Bringer”. After all, you see your mom every day, don’t you?”) he’d been insensitive. Perhaps he’d just assumed, since Querl was so smart and skilled at magic, both from his mother’s strict oversight and tutoring and his secret, wild magic training sessions with his aunt, that he had everything taken care of.

Whatever it was, seeing the usually uptight and snobby witch close to tears as he explained the nature of Grom sparked something in Clark, that made him wish he wasn’t just a human. If he’d been born and raised here, if he didn’t just have to rely on glyphs, he could help Querl, stay by his side or even take his place fighting the monster entirely.

And… even while he was human, he still wanted to do exactly that. Kaja thought he was joking, of course. But he wouldn’t take no for an answer, where Querl was concerned.

Thankfully, Querl did let him take his place, and even started training him to face his worst fear. However, now it was Clark’s turn to be nervous, realizing as he was out of time that even his glyphs could only go so far.

Especially when the Grom monster took the form of the portal, and it was Martha Kent who stepped out of it, questioning him about what he was doing and why he had lied to her.

The monster chased him to the edge of a cliff, and Kaja started to step in and help- but it was Querl who stood in front of him, and Clark was left helpless to watch as the monster took a familiar form that made both Querl and Kaja shiver, but only wordlessly removed a note from Querl’s pocket and tore it in two before seemingly retreating.

“You were afraid of getting rejected.” Clark realized as he read half of the note, before holding his hand out to him. “What if I went to Grom with you instead?”

Querl gave him a small smile.

“You would?”

“Of course! Why wouldn’t I?”

Querl’s smile widened.

“In that case… as you say, may I have this dance?”

“You had to ask?”

And they did, using a combination of Querl’s abominations and Clark’s glyphs, spinning one another and dancing as if there were no terrifying monster behind them, hands fitting into one another easily. By the time it was done, the monster having been transformed into a giant tree, Clark was almost sad to stop fighting it, because it meant letting Querl go.

(He didn’t notice the other part of the note falling out of Querl’s pocket, that revealed his own name)

Hello Risu dear, sorry for spamming you with prompts like this 😅 SPOTS TO KISS 49 with Bas and Mary. And I know we did 49 already but this time we could have NSFW with Mary on top of him (lady godiva mayhaps?) if you don't mind of course 😳 Also Mary really enjoys praising her partner so I'm sure some of that would be going on.

Hey, Kaja~ I hope you don't mind that this is super late, so because of that and because I know today is a stressful day, this is a little longer than usual. Enjoy ^_^

Entirely under a cut because this story is explicit.

49. a kiss on the inner thigh + Sebastian

Mary was tense. Sebastian had heard as much from the moment she closed the door behind her, despite the way she’d seemed so relaxed on the phone before. Then again, on the phone, she’d been almost fully engrossed in just teasing him instead of thinking about anything else. That thought alone was enough to send a ripple of heat through Sebastian’s chest again, before it settled low in his stomach.

Luckily, if that phone call had been any indication, he didn’t need to push the feeling away.

Even so, the first words out of his mouth were, “Do you need anything?” because as much as he wanted to fall into bed with Mary immediately, he wanted more to make sure she was taken care of in general. He reached out, taking her hands in his.

Her brown eyes softened in that way that made Sebastian’s throat tight every time. He could read on her face how much it meant that he asked, and since care was Sebastian’s natural state of being, it was a little like seeing how much it meant to her that Sebastian be himself. She squeezed his hands once before her lips curled up into something less soft but no less sweet.

“Right now, sweetheart, I need you to make good on your promise,” she said. One of her fingers curled under his chin, and even though there was no physical pull from her hand, Sebastian let her tug him forward and down into a kiss. Her lips were soft, but the kiss was anything but as Mary took Sebastian’s face in both hands and held him against her. He let her in without a thought, eyes closed, focused the way every brush of her lips and tongue felt like brushing fire close to the skin. All the heat, none of the pain.

Mary dragged her teeth over Sebastian’s bottom lip as she pulled away, one hand sliding deliberately from his cheek to his neck and down over his chest to eventually tug at the hem of his shirt. “Go on,” she said, nodding towards the bed. “Get this off for me, dear.”

Between that kiss, the command, and the phone call from before, all it took was another few heartbeats for him to be almost fully hard as he pulled his shirt off and went to sit on the bed. Mary came to stand between his legs, and without being asked, Sebastian got to work removing her clothes, too. As soon as some of her skin was revealed, Sebastian leaned forward to kiss her there, feeling sparks fly through his body with every noise she made, every sigh, every inch of tension that eased from her body.

Only when Mary was fully naked did she tell Sebastian to take his pants off. Then, she moved onto the bed with him, planting herself in his lap with her knees on either side of his hips. Even with his underwear still on, the contact had him curling as close to Mary as he could, one hand on her hip to help her balance and the other curling around her back. She smirked, the blush on her cheeks only making her eyes look brighter, and ground her hips down.

He gasped her name, burying the moan that followed into her neck. Mary laughed, short and breathless but so carefree that Sebastian couldn’t help smiling as he raised his head.

“Later,” she promised. Sebastian swallowed, eyes travelling once up and down her body, appreciating every curve, every plane, every mark. After a second, one of her hands caught the side of his face and coaxed him to look up. “What are you thinking, sweetie?” she asked.

“You’re beautiful,” Sebastian answered, “and I love you.” Simple, maybe, but so blissfully truethat it rolled off of his tongue with the same ease as breathing. He ducked his head just slightly to press a kiss to her chest, just over her heart, and felt the pace of his own fall in sync with her pulse under his lips. “Kiss me, skarbie?” he asked, looking up.

Mary made a sound, something that might have been a sigh or a moan or maybe the beginning of a word, but whatever it was, Sebastian only knew that it was overflowing with emotion and that the rest of it was lost between their lips as Mary kissed him hard enough that Sebastian was almost dizzy. Every time she moved, her leg or her core or both brushed against his cock. Between that and the slide of her lips and tongue, Sebastian couldn’t help moaning back against her.

“So good to me,” Mary breathed when she finally had to pull back for air. “Lay down, sweet boy.”

She pressed both hands against his chest, then pushed him slightly to the side, and Sebastian followed, thankful that he was strong enough to turn so that his head was near the wall without having to move Mary from his lap.

When they settled again, she playfully flicked the bottom of his chin before moving up so that her legs framed his head and shoulders, arms braced on the headboard. Sebastian could see how wet she was, and even if he’d felt it to some extent with Mary in his lap, there was something different, more intoxicating, about being so close to her arousal that he could literally taste it.

And he did; Sebastian held Mary’s eyes for a second before putting his hands on her hips and gently pulling her down on top of him. He licked over her folds, listening as Mary hummed and moaned above him. It was easy to tell from the way she started to move with him that just that wouldn’t be enough, though, and just as he heard Mary inhale to try and speak, Sebastian pressed the flat of his tongue up against her clit.

“Oh--!” The breath left her in a near-scream, and Sebastian let his thumbs trace circles into her skin as he sucked on the now-swollen nub. Almost as soon as he stopped, Mary ground her hips down. “Oh, perfect, sweetie, keep going, just like that,” she said, and Sebastian obliged. He held tighter to her body for a second as his own hips jerked, seeking the same kind of friction even if Sebastian wouldn’t move either of them for the world right now.

Sebastian let Mary lead for a few minutes, letting her move her hips over his mouth and against his tongue to chase her own pleasure. Her reactions, occasionally praise and occasionally not really words, and her commands flooded him with heat until Sebastian almost felt like he was floating. When he hummed euphorically with his lips around her clit again, one of Mary’s hands dropped to his head. He knew, distantly, that her grip was going to have screwed up his ponytail, but he couldn’t care less at the moment. She was close, and he was burning with need for more of just her. When he opened his eyes and saw her above him, shoulders lax and head fallen back, the ends of her long hair just barely whispering across his chest, Sebastian nearly came on the spot.

He didn’t—not yet. Mary had promised him a later, too.

Instead, he focused, lowering his eyes again and pressing his tongue up into her. She was close, he could feel it with the way she shivered at every point of contact, and so when her moans just started to gain that desperate edge, the hand in his hair tightening impatiently, Sebastian closed his lips around her clit and sucked hard.

Mary fell forward as she cried out his name, catching herself on the headboard, and only once Sebastian was sure that she was stable did he lose himself in the sensation of feeling her cum on his lips. She didn’t fall still, continuing to ride the waves, and Sebastian encouraged her. One of his hands moved up to her lower back, letting her know it was okay to keep grinding into him as the pleasure wound down.

He turned his face just slightly when she finally stilled to catch her breath, pressing a tired, open-mouthed kiss to the inside of her thigh. She shivered again in response with a soft, satisfied breath.

“So good,” she said, running her fingers through the strands of hair that had pulled loose. “Thank you, sweetie. That was perfect.”

“You deserve the best,” Sebastian answered, kissing her thigh one more time before Mary sat back and moved off of him, coming to rest with her head in the crook between his neck and shoulder.

She kissed his neck once, twice, then latched on with the third, sucking not quite enough to bruise but definitely enough to remind Sebastian that he was still hard, even through the haze of satisfaction that came with making Mary come. “Guess that means I deserve you, then,” she answered.

Sebastian didn’t blush often, but from the way Mary’s smile widened when he looked over at her, he guessed that the warmth in his cheeks was even more intense than just arousal.

“I try,” he admitted. Given that Mary couldn’t seem to stop smiling when she rolled bonelessly onto his chest to kiss him again, Sebastian felt pretty confident that he was succeeding.
