The Pumping Station
*rings the dinner bell* Y'all, come get your angst!
Polished up my little Sig's first encounter with Dark Jak fic. I hope you like it.
Jak's first hunting trip with Sig outside the city walls doesn't go exactly according to plan. Turns out keeping a lid on the dark monster inside you is harder when your life is in danger.
His legs gave out, muscles weak and burning, trembling with the effort of just holding his bones together. That was the worst it had ever been. He only remembered flashes, sensations, his body moving in ways it was not meant to. Doing things he was not meant to. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. Nobody was supposed to see… to know. It wasn’t just a secret, it was a death sentence. If anyone ever found out – Heavy footsteps approached. Jak looked up at Sig. The Wastelander loomed. His gun ready in his hands. Jak bowed his head, waiting for the killing blow. He didn't have the strength to run. Sig would make it quick, at least.
#jak and daxter#becky writes things#couldn't think of a better title for the fic so it's just The Pumping Station#it might change later#until then I'm just gonna keep screaming crying throwing up about my poor traumatized boys#and writing angsty fic to make it WORSE#also why does the link look so bad? what happened to the nicely formatted clicky box?#maybe it'll appear after I hit post#like i know it's been a while since i shared a link. did tumblr just decide to break the nice hyperlink box?#or is this a me kind of problem?

They save all the best stuff for the a-plot
“I, uhm… Aliens are sort of your thing, Sticks, so would you mind explaining how they… tie into this?”
“You’re my favorite here, so obviously I’d rather the rest of them get abducted by aliens than you.”
“I’m your favorite?” Amy repeats, turning to stare at her.

Los Angeles was supposed to be your perfect canvas, but the struggle to make it leaves you feeling burnt out – until Agatha Harkness paints you into her world.

Chapter 1: Caramel
It isn’t the first time a beautiful woman has stopped you in your doom scrolling on the internet. You’ve had your share of rabbit-holing through Instagram profiles, tagged photos, your finger hovering over the DM button with a wave of confidence that only comes when you’ve had a drink or two in your system.
But this woman, this one comes with an extension of discovery.
Just by googling her name, a thousand articles pop up. Art piece installations cascade every website, timeline, and city cultural journal. Jesus, then the red carpet photos multiply as the SEO of your web browser catches on to your sudden enthrall of dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes.
Oh, and the hashtags. #WitchyArt #HarknessAndDesire #CursedCanvas. Layers of art plummet before you, most requesting to select if you’d like to view the art or not because of its lewd nature, violating community guidelines.
#AgathaHarknessUnveiled
A public invitation to forbiddenness. You’re intrigued.
Then more pictures of her show up, next to her work, her models, famous celebrities that you never knew were part of the same circle. You realize you’ve been following her art closely for years, and had even gone to one of her art installations at the LACMA a couple years back.
She has no social media and you quickly piece together why you haven’t been able to put a face to the name until now. The Agatha Harkness.
You curse yourself for living and breathing on Instagram, reading little excerpts about her pieces here and there, never proceeding past searching her name up one single time after seeing her most famous artwork grace the official Broad Museum verified account:
The Unbound: Agatha Harkness - A Palette of Desire contemporary collection of ‘22.
Ask AI or Search: Agatha Harkness
…
However, you were met with the reflection of: ‘⚠️ zero search results found’ staring back at you on your phone screen, and that was that.
Now, you pull open your ‘Painting Inspo’ Pinterest board to see a piece of hers pinned neatly between other modern art you admire. The pin is plainly titled and paired with a now-purple hyperlink to an article, with one of the most commanding portraits of her in a suit, standing sharply next to her work.
It had all been right there, connected, laid out before you. You scold yourself again. You could’ve been in this woman’s circle the moment you moved to Los Angeles. Only now she’s magically moved from your subconscious to reality.
All it took was a simple Google search to be completely floored.
Right place, right time, you think, as it were. Originally, you were filtering through junior-level marketing positions, revamping your resume for the umpteenth time. Waitressing just wasn’t cutting it anymore, you needed a big girl job. Even if you didn’t have the experience.
And, to be honest, people really do act like that in Los Angeles. Customer service is nothing short of unbearable.
You’d huffed and slammed your laptop, tired of the almost-hour it took to submit one clean job application, flopped on your bed, and began the inevitable doom scroll.
And there she was, in all her glory. Featured in one major headline that caught your eye (apart from every photo ever of her maddeningly hypnotizing smile).
Grand Opening of the Harkness Collection, March 2025 — DTLA, Seeking Social Media Manager Position.
You could do it, you think.
The link to apply for the position already looks infinitely better than the bland, morose copy/paste templates thrown around every typical job website like a hot potato.
This just might get your foot in the door.
You’ve painted your whole life, always the kid doodling in the corner of your notebooks in class. You’ve done your fair share of moronically smacking people with your big art portfolio at the end of each year in high school when you rounded corners.
Art school in Portland had its ups and downs. Your father used every last penny he had to see your dreams come true, and your mother hated you for it. Blamed you, even, for sucking his wallet dry. But it was of his own accord to pay for tuition, and you had nothing else to show for it. You had a real talent.
At least, that’s what Mrs. Montgomery had told you.
Your art teacher for grades 11-12 was someone who was stern but had a mother’s touch. You really only knew the stern part back home, and then some, after the divorce.
But Mrs. Montgomery not only put you on a pedestal, she really critiqued you. She actually pushed you, improved your skills and adorned her Letter of Recommendation to your chosen college with accolades of admiration you couldn’t possibly achieve from your own mother.
If it wasn’t obvious already, you were completely smitten. And you know what else? You could trust her as far as you could throw her.
The after school meetings, the one-on-one sessions after class to help finish up an end of the year project. Anything to get a sliver of praise. Anything to prevent the bus ride home.
After college, though, you moved to Los Angeles in hopes of joining a gallery or an art community. You got sucked into the limelight, the overbearing and overwhelming nature of the city of angels. Everyone seemingly looks better than you, doing more than you, everyone trying to prove themselves somewhere. Nothing felt real.
You felt like a failure.
Email threads to galleries went stale and not to mention renting out studios could carve a hole into your credit card. It’s been three whole years since moving here after college, stuck in the same job you started with. The only real friend you made was from college, Oliver, who really was the one who dragged you out to California in the first place.
One friend, one lame job, one-room studio apartment, and no art to show for it. You start to think that this dream was meant to fizzle out and you’re supposed to become another cog in the wheel of Capitalism just like everybody else.
Whatever. You craft a partially-truthful resume, and an overzealous cover letter.
Somewhere in there you lie about managing a social media page for a cafe that doesn’t exist, and that you’ve worked with a few semi-recognizable artists in the industry as their interns. Right.
But for the record, this is working for Agatha Harkness. You’ve got to make it look like you’re somebody. You imagine yourself at her side on those red carpets, getting to pick her brain about all the art she’s created. You’ll get to show her the paintings you made, she’ll praise you, you’ll blush, and you’ll fall pathetically under her spell. Fuck.
Do you want the job or do you want her?
You suppose wanting both isn’t selfish. It’s ambitious. And you’re sick of circling around a realm that’s just out of reach.
You look at the unfinished canvases stowed in the corner of your apartment, the murky ‘mystery soup�� graying in several mason jars that scatter your work area. The dried paint, the tubes of acrylics strewn about. You can’t even remember the last time you painted.
If a hot, older woman was the motivation to be the artist you were always meant to be, then fuck it. You hit ‘submit’ on the application and sigh, closing your laptop with a better feeling of finality than the first time.
You never really get your hopes up about a job position, but for the rest of the day you find yourself tapping away anxiously, your mind scattered with the possibility of Agatha Harkness, of all people, becoming your boss.
————————————
The next morning you’re disruptively awakened by the buzzing of your phone. You begrudgingly hit ‘accept’ on the unknown number and pick up the line.
“Hello?” you answer and do your best not to sound utterly corpse-like.
“Hi!” a sweet voice greets you from the other end, “my name is Jennifer Kale, calling about the social media manager position for Ms. Harkness. Is this —?”
“Yes,” you shoot up, now seated in bed and exclaim before she can even finish her sentence. “This is she.”
She goes on to tell you how impressed she was with your resume and your expert copyright. You did always have a way with words, you forget how powerful they are as a way to get you exactly what you want.
“I saw in your CV that you have your work displayed at a cafe in Echo Park, is that right?”
You tell her of the few pieces you have displayed there and how you’ve made good friends with the owner. Jen mentions she’s relayed your portfolio, website, and resume to Agatha already and your breath instantly hitches.
She then goes to say that Agatha would like to personally meet you at that cafe for an interview. Tomorrow.
You nod and stutter a quick ‘yes’ into the speaker, forgetting you were on the phone at all. Lost in the possibility — no, actuality — of meeting Agatha.
After exchanging times and contact information, the line clicks blank and all the roaring thoughts begin to pour in. The anxiety, the expectations, the thought of being examined, let alone perceived by this powerful woman.
Your stomach kind of flutters at the thought, though. Her domineering presence picking you apart until you tell her exactly what she wants…and then she’ll hire you.
The confidence you feel mixed with the sheer horror of pretending you’re more than you say you are. You hope she doesn’t see through the lies.
But then again, so many people in the world have jobs they aren’t qualified for. They don’t even know what they’re doing, especially bosses and CEOs. So you’re sure Agatha can appreciate a little ‘fake it til you make it’; particularly from someone who really wants this.
————————————
You arrive infinitely early to the interview in the car you never use since everything in Downtown LA is right outside your apartment door.
The parking was the biggest hurdle but you gave yourself ample time to prepare.
The sun beats down on you as you exit your car, despite the crisp air of the early Spring morning. You shuffle down the hill to the sprawling city strip of hipster cafes, vintage thrifts, and mom ‘n pop shops. Your favorite cafe is squished between them, a true hole in the wall.
One of your favorite baristas greets you from behind the counter when you walk in. It looks like you beat the morning rush, everyone already taken to their seats, noses pressed to their laptops in concentration.
You order your favorite iced latte and wait at the bar, albeit with impatience. The barista questions your nervousness and you lean in with excitement.
“I have an interview,” you smile.
“Here?!”
“Yes, here, well — not here here, but yeah. It’s with one of the most well known artists. She’s…fascinating.”
And you gush over her for a moment, her art, her looks, the job position, while periodically checking the clock that sits behind the espresso bar, like, every five seconds.
You notice their smile grows wider as you wrap up your story, handing you your latte. But what you don’t notice is the person who just walked in, approaching the next spot in line.
“Have a great interview,” the barista dazzles in a cheeky whisper, eyes flitting to someone behind you.
Your realization hits when you turn and your latte hits her, square in the chest.
The cold liquid clashes between you two as you bump into each other, the cap coming clean off, with bits of ice clattering to the floor.
“Oh my god I am so sorry,” you babble, reaching for napkins and grabbing a fistful from who knows where.
You scramble to wipe up the mess, avoiding eye contact as Agatha steps back to examine the huge spot now staining her crisp white shirt. She can’t even get a word in before you scurry to the bathroom.
How stupid can you possibly be?
You beat yourself up in your thoughts as you gather yourself, and, clumsily, several ice cubes that managed to fall into your bra.
With a wet paper towel you clean the coffee off your front as much as you can before taking a deep breath, fixing your hair in the mirror and hoping when you step out of the bathroom, she’ll still be there waiting for you.
The bathroom door teeters and squeaks awkwardly as you push it open. You survey the cafe lobby and find Agatha opening a notebook and pulling out papers, and your resume.
You don’t think she realized you’re the one she’s supposed to interview. And you can’t even weigh what scenario would be more embarrassing.
You slide into the chair across from her, snaking your bag down to the floor and pulling out your own resume copy. You notice her blouse is completely drink-free and it catches you off guard. The coffee stains on your shirt are terribly evident despite your efforts in cleaning yourself up.
“You should’ve written your name as Caramel at the top of your resume,” she states while still looking down at the paper. Oh, of course she knows it’s you.
Looking down at yourself you realize there’s a streak of caramel syrup dripping down your cleavage.
Your eyes flick to hers, and she’s looking at you now, for the first time. There’s a long beat that clenches your throat and you forget how to speak.
You know her eyes are blue but holy shit, they’re palpably blue. And they hold yours in suspension, her gaze lingering for a moment too long before returning to her paper.
Your cheeks warm with a feverish blush, and you take a napkin to wipe the syrup away, leaving your skin sticky and shiny.
Her eyes move to your cleavage again as she shifts slightly in her seat, adjusting her stature. She scans over your resume agonizingly slow now and this long gap of silence has your nerves bubbling.
Maybe it’s a good thing the coffee spilled, because you’re sure the caffeine would give you a panic attack right about now.
“It doesn’t state in here that you use condiments as a painting medium, so, tell me your process,” Agatha jokes, but her tone is blunt.
You breathe a laugh and smile anyway, wanting to squash the awkwardness and tension so badly. Taking a second, you muster up an ounce of courage. You have to prove yourself now after this train wreck.
“I could probably use caramel as a medium,” you shrug, meeting her stark gaze again.
Agatha quirks one brow, egging you to go on.
“It’s got a similar consistency to a fast dry. Could probably even be worked into a glaze too. It could make a really nice maple color over some oils. I work with acrylics, watercolors, too, but it probably would leave paintings like that,” you take in a ragged breath, your mind catching up to just how stupid you sound, “…sticky.”
She smiles for the first time, a wicked smolder perking the corners of her lips. Amusement flares in her eyes, and you swear you can almost see them darken.
“Your skills?”
You take a deep breath before you begin, grounding yourself. “Time management, organization, I’m ambitious and work well with others. I also have really good memori –”
“You know,” she dawdles, “none of your references called me back,” she states, practically disregarding the answer to her last question.
Your mouth parts in silence.
“Oh,” is the only pathetic word you can assemble. “That’s weird,” you breathe, thoroughly fucking failing.
“I’m sure they’re all busy artists.”
And you just know she’s seeing right through you.
“But…your copywriting is very good. I’ve seen your social media, your website, you’ve got a way with words, hon.”
Your neck and chest must be as red as your face now. But the way she looks at you, blue eyes dark yet twinkling with intrigue, you’re blushing for an entirely different reason.
“Thank you,” you manage, and you give her a truthful look that you really need this, that you really want this. Because you just want something to go right for once in your life. You need to find your purpose again.
It’s like she can hear your thoughts as she studies you. It’s hard to look away when you meet her eyes again. As if she’s holding you in the palm of her hand, weighing you, rolling you between her fingers, testing to see if she should clench and squeeze the dream right from your heart.
“You know, I don’t normally meet with artists in this circumstance, or even in such a…sticky manner.”
And you blush for the millionth time.
“But I’d like to test your writing skills. I’m hosting a live painting session this weekend that I want you to come to and write a little mockup article for. If I dig it, you get the job, sweetheart.”
Her words drip like honey, the opportunity laid out before you, sounding sweet to your ears. It’s almost unbelievable.
“Wow, thank you so much Ms. Harkness,” you fawn, beaming a smile.
“Agatha,” she says warmly, holding out her hand for you to shake.
You hesitate for a moment before taking her hand in yours, her slender, delicate fingers just barely grazing the inside of your wrist. Something flutters in your stomach at the contact, like a chemical reaction right in your core.
The embrace is subtle, but it carries the weight of something more than just a job, more than just a task she’s asking you to complete. You tug your hand away, but the air between you stays charged.
“I won’t let you down,” you exhale earnestly.
Agatha blinks at you slowly, that smile never faltering, “good girl.”
She rises now, collecting her papers and notebook, storing them inside a black tote bag. “My assistant will be in touch.”
You absentmindedly nod to her, feeling her presence leave, with the click of the cafe door echoing in your ears. You’re completely dumbfounded. What just happened?
Did you actually manage to fake your way to the top? You have a real shot now at getting this position. And the way she looked at you, like she just knew what you were capable of?
Her request is simple, just a mockup article. Nothing truly serious. The significance of her words, though, make your heart race. The heady mix of exhilaration and nerve wracking anticipation makes you dizzy at the thought. And her praise.
Good girl.
You’re completely slack-jawed at the thought of it again. You just know you’re in for something more than just a mere task.
Whatever she wants from you, you’ll give it – willingly, completely, without question.

introducing: poll stealing!!
Are you worried about your favorites not making it to the next round? Do you wish you could commit legal poll theft?? Then you’re in luck! Starting in round two, you can make fanworks of any kind to help swing the votes in your ship’s favor! Fics! Art! Playlists! Anything your heart desires!
With the steal function in place, your ship could lose the popular vote but still advance to the next round.
To be very very clear, the purpose of the steal function and the purpose of the tournament as a whole is to get more f/f dc works out there!
Detailed guidelines below the cut:
HOW IT WORKS:
(Disclaimer that the rules and calculations are taken from @lesmisshippingshowdown who in turn were inspired by @hbowartournament)
For all steal works regardless of type, please ensure that you follow these submission guidelines:
Make a new post here on Tumblr including either your fanwork or a link to your work on the relevant platform (AO3, Spotify, etc.) and tag it #wlwdc steal
@ mention this blog (@wlwdcchampionship) in your caption.
Send me an ask or DM with a link to your post. If using asks, please be sure to break up the hyperlink to reduce the chance of Tumblr eating the post.
Now on to specific scoring guidelines for different fanwork categories (once again, thanks to the mods of the LMSS for figuring all this out!):
Writers:
Post a fic (or new chapter) of at least 100 words to AO3. The pairing of your choice must be the primary relationship tag (and remember this poll is for romantic relationships only)
Link your fic here, tag it #wlwdc steal, and send us a link to the post. If your piece is part of a larger, previously established fic, please include in your message the word count of the new chapter.
Earn 0.1% for every 100 words, rounded to the nearest hundred
Artists:
Post your fanart to tumblr, tag it #wlwdc steal, and send us a link.
Earn 0.1% for a sketch, 0.3% for linework, and 0.5% for a full colour piece*
*(full colour is an ambiguous term, but the intent is to look at the extra amount of work and time that goes into colouring a completed piece vs. just putting forward a sketch or b&w linework. a sketch that happens to use colour pencils or a linework with a colour filter overlaid will be judged in the lower category)
Photoset Editors:
Post your photoset to tumblr, tag it #wlwdc steal, and send us a link.
Earn 0.1% per edited photo.
Playlist Curators:
Post your fanmix - consisting of at least 8 tracks - to Spotify
Link your playlist here, tag it #wlwdc steal, and send us a link to the post.
Earn 0.1% per 8 songs on the playlist, rounded to the nearest 8
Earn 0.1% per 200 words of liner notes (not including song titles or extended lyric quotations)
If you create your own cover art, the points for the relevant visual medium (art or photo editing) apply
Songwriters/Composers
0.1% per 10 seconds for original music/arrangement with 1-2 instruments (e.g. a piano solo, a pop song where you accompany yourself on guitar, a work for violin & piano accompaniment)
0.3% per 10 seconds for original music/arrangement for chamber ensemble/small band of 3-8 parts (e.g. a string quartet, an SATB choral work, a song performed by you and the rest of the 4 piece rock band you’re in)
0.5% per 10 seconds of original music/arrangement for a large ensemble of 9+ parts (e.g. a work for orchestra or marching band)
0.1% per 100 words of lyrics (entirely original or parody)
0.1% per 200 words of liner notes/analysis
For cover songs, a flat 0.1% per 30 seconds, unless you have provided a significantly new arrangement or orchestration
Cosplayers
0.1% per still photo, or 0.1% per 30 seconds of video where you are acting/performing in character
Arts & Crafts (Fibre Arts, Physical Collages, etc.)
Please upload at least one photograph of your completed craft item, and at least one unaltered photograph clearly showing the measurements of your work using a real life reference such as a tape measure or a ruler.
Please also list all materials used in your work (just broad categories is fine - e.g. if you make a friendship bracelet you can just say "string and beads", we don't need to know about every colour and category of bead you used!)
Base rate of 0.1% for works under 10x10cm and 0.3% for works over 10x10cm.
Earn an additional 0.1% per material category (thread, beads, glitter, photo cutouts, etc) - this includes base materials like cardboard, canvas, etc. but does not include adhesives such as tape or glue unless you are using e.g. washi tape or glitter glue in a way that significantly impacts the overall aesthetic appearance of your work.
Please note that the size only applies to the surface area of what you actually did - so e.g. if you send a picture of a massive embroidery hoop but only a 5x5cm area is covered in embroidery we will only grant you the 0.1% base rate.
Compilations of the above (zines, comics, etc)
Judged by combining individual components - e.g. if you make a zine that includes 3 full colour art pieces (0.5 x 3), a 300 word ficlet (0.3), and a digital collage (0.5), you'll earn a total of 2.3 points.
Comics are judged by panel, though excessively similar panels (e.g. the same artwork with different speech bubbles) or very simplistic panels (e.g. a blank colour background that says THREE DAYS LATER) may be awarded a lower score than more complex panels.
If you're struck by creative urges not listed above, just drop me an ask and I can figure out what category it falls into and/or approximate percentage conversion rates if it's something totally new.
Please note that you cannot resubmit a fanwork you have already used as a steal work in a previous round, and steal points will not be carried over between rounds of the tournament!
edit: this goes without saying but absolutely no use of ai is allowed.
tldr; Make fanworks, tag this blog, steal points in the poll of your choice!

I really didn't want it to come to this, but I need help
I posted not that long ago that I was in debt on PayPal by $2, and I thought that was it. I checked my bank account today and it was all the way at -$44. I don't know what caused this, I had plenty of money a few days ago and now it's all gone. Frankly, I don't know what to do.
I don't have a job, and I can really only get one in the summer unless I somehow stumble upon someone who needs thumbnail art or something. And I don't have any allowance, I've been promised allowance but have never received any.
I thought I had hit my breaking point a week ago but I think things might get worse. I don't know anymore I'm so lost.
I do commissions
I do art for many fandoms (TF2, Ghost, HFR, CRK, etc) and I am more than willing to draw for you. The hyperlink in the title is a link to my commission sheet. Please consider commissioning me, I'll forever be grateful 🙏

The “Season 17 Updates” tab on the Paddy’s Pub Blog has been reworked to list the names of all of the episodes (as scripted) matched to what I best think are the production codes they’re associated with (based on a combination of filming dates, known writers/directors, and other production information). (That is to say, this is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. I’ve done my best to conclude which episode title links to which production code, and hence writer, but as of today only 1704 and 1705 have official confirmation.)
Each Title hyperlinks to a page dedicated to that episode, which lists all of the known information we have so far and also includes Predictions (stated as if correct), Questions and Notes, based on unknowns and speculation that seems connected to the episode. To the extent anything has a source, it is hyperlinked and/or pasted as a photo.
I will be updating this as often as new information for Season 17 comes to light! And as a forewarning, episodes as the match writers may have to be reordered, they will definitely not air in this order, and episode titles may still be reworded/renamed up until we have an airdate, but this should be accurate enough to get a preliminary picture of each of these episodes!
#also if you have anything not on here let me know!#there’s still a few pieces idk how to connect#and some minor stuff I just haven’t put down yet cos I legit haven’t had the time lol#ppb#iasip#lucky 17#feedback on all of this is encouraged!#eg if you think predictions being in the assumed correct is confusing lmk#open feedback this is supposed to be a community resource#:)#OC

RFQ (Request for Quote) for Fanfic Illustration Project
Update: I have found an artist! Thanks to all who applied.
Hello! I am a fanfic author looking to commission 6 illustrations to appear in an upcoming fanfiction. My tentative/negotiable budget for this is $1650 USD or $275/illustration. I wish them to be done by 24th September. I am looking for illustrations that are fully shaded, and in color, suitable for appearing inline both online (via AO3) and in print in B&W. I am an amateur fannish creator, and this is the first time I've ever done something like this, and have no contacts to which to rely upon. As a result, I'm also offering a $50 finders fee for any good-faith tip, recommendation, or referral that ultimately leads to a successful agreement.
About the project:
Nature of Work/Quality Requested: Each illustration will involve two canon Stargate SG-1 characters that require, shading, detailing, and coloring. Each illustration also requires a background that effectively communicates the scene geography (ie, where the characters are in relation to eachother and their immediate surroundings). However, generally, the backgrounds do not require complicated shading and detailing as long as they get across the general idea - with the exception of a landscape background for one of the six illustrations. The backgrounds are: medical lab, briefing room, daylight forest, hillside overlooking river, underground cave.
Fandom: This project deals with the Stargate SG-1 fandom, and the characters of Janet Fraiser, Jonas Quinn, Samantha Carter, and the Goa'uld Nirrti. Someone familiar with this fandom would be preferred, but if you are not, substantial high quality references will be provided.
Controversial/Squicky Elements: These requested illustrations do not involve any kind of erotica or ongoing/imminent violence/gore and are SFW. However, of note, a few of the desired illustrations require an accurate reproduction of automatic firearms typical of Stargate SG-1 (specifically, the M16A2 and the MP5, references will be provided), and one of the desired illustrations involves an injured and bloodied person.
Revisions/Alterations requested? Due to the expedited nature of the project (just under two months to finish), I don't expect there to be time for any significant alterations. All I would request is a sketch copy of each illustration before major detail/shading/color work is undertaken, so I can verify the scene geography and major components are correct. If there is time, I may pay extra for alterations should I want them.
How you will be credited:
In-story, online: Your name and a hyperlink to your website/social/portfolio (as desired) will be attributed in the author's notes of the chapters in which your illustrations appear. Your name will also appear at at beginning/foreward, credited as "Illustrator"
In-story, in print: Your name and printed URLs/@s will appear in the beginning or the end of the story, at your choice, credited as "Illustrator"
In other situations, online, e.g. social media posts: A named link to your webside/social/portfoilio (As desired)
Nature of product+license I am intending to purchase:
In general, high quality sources I can freely distribute, and which other can freely redistribute (so long as you remain attributed, and the following terms are attached). Specifically, I am looking for:
Source quality without visible watermark
Time-limited right of first publish: You will withhold publishing copies of the commissioned works on your own socials/website until the final fanfic is posted, or the date February 1st, 2025, whichever is earlier.
A non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable license with the following terms:
In general, unlimited noncommercial reproduction with attribution.
Limited derivative works, including, color re-grading, cropping, addition of titles or text bubbles, extraction of individual elements without modification (e.g. characters), for the purposes of creating covers, memes, compositions, promotional material, and general shitposting.
Sublicensible without penalty under identical terms, for the purposes of allowing others to distribute the story with the illustrations intact, so long as attribution is preserved, a copy of these terms provided, and no cash or other cash-equivalents exchanged.
How you will be paid:
I am willing to pay via Pay Pal (G&S), Bank wire, CC payment to online shop, Bitcoin/Monero or any crypto listed on Bitstamp supported by Ledger. I am willing to sign up for any online service that does not have onerous verification requirements, as long as such service does not require the use of a proprietary app that can only be installed on a smartphone.
Payments will be in installments as progress is made, or via escrow at the artist's request.
Price negotiable?
Yes. The listed budget is what I believe this project is worth based upon my very limited knowledge and experience, and the money I have available to pay. As the title suggests, please send in your own quote as you feel is fair compensation for your labor. However, cards on the table, price will be a significant factor when discriminating between bids and I may reduce the scope of the project rather than incurring cost overruns.
Is the deadline soft or hard?
Hard. I need the illustrations by the given date for printing in order to give a copy to someone I know (it's a surprise).
How can I contact you?
Please direct all inquiries to [email protected]. If you wish to make a bid, please include the following information.
Your tentative bid, in converted from your currency to United States Dollars
Your estimated lead time
A portfolio of recent work, with at least a few examples of the quality you are willing to work at for the given price.
Any additional stipulations or limitations the listed terms that you wish to request
Whether or not you are familiar with Stargate SG-1
Who you were referred by, if anyone
Your timezone
Whether you would prefer discord or signal for real-time communication

Interactive Fiction Showcase 2024
Showcase your Game!
The Interactive Fiction Showcase is a year-long "jam" meant to collect and showcase Interactive Fiction games completed in 2024, and show how diverse the Interactive Fiction scene is! And maybe: build more bridges between the community, help people finding their new favourite game/author...
Whether it is long or short, an easy adventure or a complicated puzzle, a strange experiment, a quick creation, or a years-in-the-making game, come show off what you've made!
Are you more of a player? Then, come check this page regularly for new submissions! Maybe leave a rating or a comment too :)
This is an unranked event.
Rules:
The Showcase is open to IF games in all of its forms: kinetic, choice-based, hyperlinks, parser, visual novels... As long as it is Interactive Fiction (there is interactivity and the focus of the game is on the text), the entry will be accepted.
The Showcase is open to IF games in any language.
Entries must be playable and in its complete form when submitted. Completed games in 2024, whose demo was previously public, are welcome. Games submitted to other events (jams/competitions) are welcome.
Entries can include NSFW content, as long as it is indicated in the submission.
Entries should not include any generated AI content - or it will be removed.
Spam or hateful content will be removed.
Creating Interactive Fiction:
Interactive Fiction is a text-based narrative medium, where players can interact with the story in some fashion (input commands, click a link/button, press key). There are many different ways of creating IF, and many different programs to do so. You can find some mentioned below:
Primarily HyperText/Choice-Based: Twine, Ink, ChoiceScript, Dendry
Primarily Parser/Input: Inform 6, Inform 7, PunyInform, Adventuron, ADRIFT
Other: Bitsy, Binksi, Ren'Py
and many more can be found listed in the IF Wiki.
If you are looking for other Interactive Fiction Events, discuss general IF, or ask question, you can visit the IntFiction Forum. (we also have monthly IF events over at @neointeractives)
Interactive Fiction Database and Archive:
IFDB
The IFDB, or Interactive Fiction Database, is an IF game information catalogue, creating a historical record of the IF landscape. The database is a community project, updated by its members, by adding titles to the directory, ratings games, writing reviews... If a listing has not yet been created for your game, please consider making one!
IF Archive
The IF Archive is an archive of Interactive Fiction games, and IF-related elements (walkthroughs, interpreters, articles, collections...). The Archive’s mission is to preserve the history and practice of interactive fiction and make it freely available to the public. If you wish to, you can upload a copy of your game to the IFArchive, through the IFDB listing of your game (recommended) or directly to the archive.
The IFDB and IFArchive, as well as the IntFiction Forum and Twine, are managed by the Interactive Fiction Technology Foundation. These programs are funded through individual donations.
Visual Novel Database
The VNDB, or Visual Novel Database, is a community project that strives to be a comprehensive database for information about visual novels. The database is updated by its members, by adding titles to the directory, ratings games, writing reviews... If a listing has not yet been created for your visual novel, please consider making one!
#interactive fiction showcase#itch io#interactive games#interactive fiction#interactive story#visual novel#IF#VN#IFDB#IFArhive#Sidenote: the real reason was wanting to better keep up with independent releases#(outside of competition/jams) and itch is not great at finding stuff…

Poll Stealing: How it works
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT POLL STEALING SUBMISSIONS CLOSE *AFTER* POLLS HAVE EXPIRED - PLEASE CHECK OUR PINNED POST FOR THE PRECISE DEADLINE FOR THE CURRENT ROUND!
(concept and rules inspired by/shamelessly lifted from @hbowartournament - if you're in that fandom go and show their polls some love and maybe commit some theft over there too!)
For all steal works regardless of type, please ensure that you follow these submission guidelines:
Make a new post here on Tumblr including either your fanwork or a link to your work on the relevant platform (AO3, Spotify, etc.) and tag it #lmss steal
@ mention this blog (lesmisshippingshowdown) in your caption.
Send us an ask or submission (we are not able to open DMs on this blog unfortunately - blame Tumblr!) with a link to your post. If using asks, please be sure to break up the hyperlink to reduce the chance of Tumblr eating the post.
Now on to specific scoring guidelines for different fanwork categories:
Writers:
Post a fic (or new chapter) of at least 100 words to AO3. The pairing of your choice must be the primary relationship tag (and remember this poll is for romantic relationships only)
Link your fic here, tag it #lmss steal, and send us a link to the post. If your piece is part of a larger, previously established fic, please include in your message the word count of the new chapter.
Earn 0.1% for every 100 words, rounded to the nearest hundred
Artists:
Post your fanart to tumblr, tag it #lmss steal, and send us a link.
Earn 0.1% for a sketch, 0.3% for linework, and 0.5% for a full colour piece*
*(full colour is an ambiguous term, but the intent is to look at the extra amount of work and time that goes into colouring a completed piece vs. just putting forward a sketch or b&w linework. a sketch that happens to use colour pencils or a linework with a colour filter overlaid will be judged in the lower category)
Fanvid Editors:
Post your video to tumblr, tag it #lmss steal, and send us a link.
Earn 0.3% per 10 seconds for an AMV/fanvid using existing footage, and 0.5% per 10 seconds for an animatic.
Photo/Gifset Editors:
Post your photoset/gifset to tumblr, tag it #lmss steal, and send us a link.
Earn 0.1% per edited photo and 0.5% per gif/collage.
Playlist Curators:
Post your fanmix - consisting of at least 8 tracks (iykyk) - to Spotify (please create a YouTube mirror playlist if you do not have a Spotify account).
Link your playlist here, tag it #lmss steal, and send us a link to the post.
Earn 0.1% per 8 songs on the playlist, rounded to the nearest 8
Earn 0.1% per 200 words of liner notes (not including song titles or extended lyric quotations)
If you create your own cover art, the points for the relevant visual medium (art or photo editing) apply.
Songwriters/Composers
0.1% per 10 seconds for original music/arrangement with 1-2 instruments (e.g. a piano solo, a pop song where you accompany yourself on guitar, a work for violin & piano accompaniment)
0.3% per 10 seconds for original music/arrangement for chamber ensemble/small band of 3-8 parts (e.g. a string quartet, an SATB choral work, a song performed by you and the rest of the 4 piece rock band you’re in)
0.5% per 10 seconds of original music/arrangement for a large ensemble of 9+ parts (e.g. a work for orchestra or marching band)
0.1% per 100 words of lyrics (entirely original or parody)
0.1% per 200 words of liner notes/analysis
For cover songs, a flat 0.1% per 30 seconds, unless you have provided a significantly new arrangement or orchestration.
Cosplayers/Actors
For modern AU/closet cosplays: 0.1% per still photo, or 0.1% per 30 seconds of video where you are acting/performing in character.
For historical cosplays: a base score of 0.3%, plus an additional 0.1% per still photo, or 0.1% per 30 seconds of video where you are acting/performing in character.
Arts & Crafts (Fibre Arts, Physical Collages, etc.)
Please upload at least one photograph of your completed craft item, and at least one unaltered photograph clearly showing the measurements of your work using a real life reference such as a tape measure or a ruler.
Please also list all materials used in your work (just broad categories is fine - e.g. if you make a friendship bracelet you can just say "string and beads", we don't need to know about every colour and category of bead you used!)
Base rate of 0.1% for works under 10x10cm and 0.3% for works over 10x10cm.
Earn an additional 0.1% per material category (thread, beads, glitter, photo cutouts, etc) - this includes base materials like cardboard, canvas, etc. but does not include adhesives such as tape or glue unless you are using e.g. washi tape or glitter glue in a way that significantly impacts the overall aesthetic appearance of your work. This will be decided at mods' discretion.
Please note that the size only applies to the surface area of what you actually did - so e.g. if you send a picture of a massive embroidery hoop but only a 5x5cm area is covered in embroidery we will only grant you the 0.1% base rate.
Compilations of the above (zines, comics, etc)
Judged by combining individual components - e.g. if you make a zine that includes 3 full colour art pieces (0.5 x 3), a 300 word ficlet (0.3), and a digital collage (0.5), you'll earn a total of 2.3 points.
Comics are judged by panel, though at moderators' discretion excessively similar panels (e.g. the same artwork with different speech bubbles) or very simplistic panels (e.g. a blank colour background that says THREE DAYS LATER) may be awarded a lower score than more complex panels, or discounted entirely.
If you're struck by creative urges not listed above, just drop us an ask and we can figure out what category it falls into and/or approximate percentage conversion rates if it's something totally new.
Please note that you cannot resubmit a fanwork you have already used as a steal work in a previous round, and steal points will not be carried over between rounds of the tournament!
Finally, please be aware that at the moderators' discretion we can and will discount any fanworks that seem particularly low effort or designed to game the system to earn more points. Works created using generative AI will be immediately disqualified, no arguments.
The goal of poll stealing is not to just Get Points By Any Means Necessary - it's intended to be an opportunity for you to show real world applications of your love for a given ship. Have fun with it, and a little bit of gamesmanship is all well and good, but let's try to remember the reason for the season!

rambling abt my notetaking methods as someone with memory problems for @divorceblogger
i am not an organised person by nature, but in my apartment Everything Must Have Its Designated Place, and that place must be the most intuitive place i will look for something — keys Must be hanging by door, bc if i leave my keys literally anywhere else (coat pocket, bag) i will NOT remember and then i will not be able to lock my door & leave for the day. the goal is work with my brain, not against it. things should be in the most intuitive place possible, and if they can’t be, i should “leave a trail of breadcrumbs” in order to help myself find what i KNOW i will forget. this is also a strategy i apply to my world of Concepts and IdeasTM.
previously, i was organising my notes into a google doc where each entry was dedicated to a single book/chapter/essay, with (1) a summary of the text, (2) relevant quotations transcribed & cited, (3) my own thoughts responding to the material, and (4) other works in the bibliography that i should check out.
This presented several problems: google doc quickly became massive an unwieldy for a 2-year research project & v laggy
lots of closely related ideas existed in isolation bc it was organised by-book instead of concept-first
couldn’t remember where to find shite bc i would have to recall the exact book the idea was from to find it (BAD for the “trail of breadcrumbs” approach)
very linear process — read & summarised one text, moved on to the next. not letting ideas “accumulate“ (build upon each other) bc it was difficult to search/constantly have to refresh myself on notes i’d made six months to a year ago
~late 2021 or early 2022, this talk is what rly sold me on adopting obsidian. i started using obsidian as my primary notetaking tool, specifically for its ability to hyperlink between concepts & display those connections in graph view (picture above). it solved the problems above with the added benefits of being Not Google & being able to sync to my phone/ipad/laptop (via icloud).
now my process looks like:
Step One: Read the material in its entirety while highlighting and making notes in the margins
by entirety I mean like full article, full chapter. if it is a full book, this is going to take multiple sittings bc i only have the cognitive stamina to absorb one chapter at a time. trying to push thru mental fatigue will exacerbate memory problems into a self-fulfilling spiral. the highlighting & annotating is absolutely essential bc it lets me talk back to the book while reading, without the cognitive fatigue/loss of momentum of stopping read to type up notes, etc.
Step Two: Go thru the material again from the beginning, this time transcribing important quotations into a note
somehow people have gotten zotero to talk to their obsidian by tbqh i haven’t bothered bc i’m fairly fast at writing my citations, and the plugins rabbit hole seems like a massive upfront time investment to me.
Step Three: talk back to the material, write my own thoughts & summaries, make connections with other works/ideas
having obsidian as this big repository of my thoughts on previous books i’ve read, previous movies I’ve seen, concepts and defintions from essays, etc makes really easy for me to start writing a new note with my thoughts about something and just go “okay, I’ll put this concept in [[ square brackets ]] so it can link to my note with all my info on that subject rather than rooting thru one million notebooks or folders of misc notes and projects to find what I’d already written abt that subject”
Step Four: Break the material into smaller units of information
i breakdown/separate out my note on a single book/essay into several smaller interlinked notes abt the concepts covered. that way the information lives (with correct bibliographical citation) in a note titled with the concept, and then that note can get added to incrementally with each new book read. this allows my notes to be organised concept-first rather than book-first.
this — ESPECIALLY the part where i connect the notes to other notes — is a rly important part of the process bc it is the “leaving myself a trail of breadcrumbs” to be able to remind myself of concepts/ideas/texts i may have already encountered that feature similar ideas. if i am wondering if i’ve previously written anything on “regicide” i can click on the note called “regicide” and discover i’d written abt macbeth AND hamlet but not agamemnon and leave a note saying “come back to this and connect it to yr other ideas abt regicide as a form of [[patricide]] in [[agamemnon]]”.
Step Five: leave yrself “on ramps” to revisit notes as new concepts are added and connected
i can’t remember where i got this advice, but it was when you are writing more than can be achieved in a single sitting, leave yourself an “on ramp” before you finish for the day. like if i am coming back to something, maybe it’s not the next day but a whole week later. it is a lot more helpful if i open up a note i was working on and see “REMEMBER: YOU WANTED TO LOOK UP THE ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORDS FOR THREAD AND FATE TO SEE IF THERE IS A CONNECTION”
do not get caught up in “finishing” a note bc notes will be every-accumulating. work on something for as long as it serves you. if the amount of information is overwhelming, it probably needs to be broken down again into smaller concepts that can be hyperlinked together.
i think that covers most of it but i might come back to this later if there’s anything important i’ve forgotten. oh, yeah, also i love Umberto Eco’s How to Write a Thesis, but that’s less important if yr note writing a thesis, just trying to track info across many different texts for yr own purposes.
#future literature tag#academia tag#navposting#tagging u nav bc i feel like u hear me most often talk abt memory & academia#so many ppl tell me “i never realised any other way of working was possible until i saw you do [x thing i do to accomodate memory deficits]#and im angry on their behalfs that tools/strategies to accomodate memory problems are not more openly discussed#its a huuuuuge accessibility issue#also Shawn Graham who does the obsidian video has many other rly good articles on colonialism & the ethics of the human remains trade#for anyone else into classics/archaeology stuff

As the Rush Comes
✯´*¨`*•✿✿••✿✿•*`¨*`✯
Sugar daddy!Leon S. Kennedy x fem!reader
Hello, I love your stories. Do you think you can make a story sugar daddy Leon x sugar baby reader where the reader has behaved badly and Leon has to teach her a lesson with a section of intense sex with punishments and that? It doesn't matter if it's in the car, a room, at home, wherever you want. Only this idea haunts my mind
Dedicated to anon request above; I hope this lives up to expectations 😘 and thank you for your patience cause you asked a while back!! 🫣
Warnings: 18+ minors DNI, daddy kink (but like daddy dom kinda way 🤭), dom Leon, bratty reader, dirty talk, restraints, collars, spanking, biting, oral (f receiving), unprotected sex
Not proofread ✌️
Title from As the Rush Comes by Motorcycle
✯´*¨`*•✿✿••✿✿•*`¨*`✯
You feel embarrassment as you scroll through the different links setup on the message board. Most people seemed to be pushing a specific site it seems and you bite your lip as you click on the hyperlink, watching the page load.
It seems pretty straightforward and kinda basic. In just a few minutes, you setup your profile complete with a (hopefully) flattering picture. You’re going to give it a few days and just see where it leads.. it’s not like you’re obligated to reply to anyone or do anything you don’t want to.
Nodding to yourself, you drop your phone next to you and hide your face in your hands, nerves running rampant. The thought of having a sugar baby profile fills you with anxiety (and just a little excitement).
You fall back on your bed and drum your fingers against your stomach as you gaze up at the ceiling. Feeling a slight vibration at your side from your cell, you pick it up. Eyes quickly reading the notification from the website: ‘LKennedy has sent you (1) message’.
Nervous, you open your phone and read through the short message.
‘Hi, strwaberry_k!ss. I’m starting to get the feeling I should’ve used a screen name and not my actual one.’
You laugh a little to yourself and click on the user’s profile.
“Holy shit,” you mutter out loud.
The profile pic of LKennedy is hot as fuck. It’s only a headshot, but honestly that’s more than enough. Some seriously gorgeous sea dark eyes followed by a chiseled jaw and a full pouty mouth paired with sandy hair meets your roving eyes. This guy messaged you? You feel a rush of excitement.
You go back to your messages. Not really knowing what to put, but not wanting to leave the guy on read, you just jot down whatever pops into your head.
‘What can I say? Just trying to be mysterious ;)’
After hitting send, you groan aloud. Smooth, real smooth. Before you can wallow in any more self pity, your phone buzzes, the screen lighting up.
‘I can tell. What brings you to this site?’
You purse your lips in concentration.
‘Curiosity mainly. You?’
‘Boredom.’
You laugh to yourself.
‘I can believe that. You don’t look like you need any help from a website to find attention though ;)’
‘Same could be said about you’
Your belly swoops as you bite your lips trying not to giggle
‘Well thanks. Tbh I didn’t expect to even talk to anyone on here’
‘And why not?’
‘Idk.. just seems a bit embarrassing haha’
‘A lovely thing like you shouldn’t feel embarrassed’
Your stomach twists with butterflies as you nibble on your lower lip. This could go any number of ways, but you really want to see how far you can get with this ridiculously handsome guy.
‘You think I’m lovely?’
‘Of course. It’s going to sound like a line, but you’re the only one I’ve messaged so far on this site.’
‘Yeah that totally sounds like a line lol’
‘You were just too pretty to pass up, sweetheart’
A hot flush of arousal surges through your body. Drawing in a shaky breath to calm your nerves, you type out a reply.
‘Oh well that’s flattering.’
‘You’re pretty too’, you quickly follow up.
Re reading the message, you mentally groan. Should've put hot or handsome, not pretty! Now he’s going to think you’re a total dork!
‘Ha, well thank you. I have to say that’s the first I’ve been called pretty myself.’
You scoff out loud.
‘Uh highly doubt that. You’re seriously hot AF, like a total dilf’
You sent it before you could chicken out and delete the last part of your reply.
‘Dilf? That stand for something?’
What!? You panic internally. How does this guy not know what that means? He’s gotta be pulling your leg, right? Right!? You can feel your brain imploding.
‘Uh haha well have you heard of milf?’
‘Sadly, yes.’
‘Kay, well it’s like that but replace the mom with dad...’
There’s radio silence for close to a minute before the text bubble emerged.
‘Ah, now I’m the one who should be flattered. Is that an offer, sweetheart?’
You feel like dying; there’s no way this is really happening to you! You’re going to wake up in the morning and this is all gonna be some weird ass fever dream.
Sucking up all the courage you have left in your body, your slowly type out a reply.
‘Could be if there’s some interest..’
After hitting send, you close your phone and bury your face in your pillow, to muffle your scream. Your nerves are starting to get the best of you when suddenly your phone goes off, buzzing against your thigh.
‘The name’s Leon. Feel free to contact me here’
You looked down at the notification, dumbfounded, reading the phone number he sends you right after. You seriously got this guy’s number?! Giving yourself a mental high five, you quickly save Leon’s number in your phone.
Opening up your messages, you shoot him a text saying who you are so he’ll have your number too. Leon texts back quickly.
‘Hello, sweetheart.’
It seems like no time at all before you guys hit it off and start seeing each other fairly regularly. Leon made it perfectly clear early on that he just wants to take care of someone and doesn’t require anything in return.
You agree with him until you sweet talk him into visiting your apartment. Then you tease him, rile him up, until he’s railing you seven ways to Sunday, pretty much cementing the fact that you’re more than eager to have some extra benefits with your sugar daddy.
Today is one of the days you get to spend time with Leon in his penthouse—still blows your mind every time you think about it. You’re excited as always, showing up a few minutes early to let yourself into the suite.
You hurriedly kick off your shoes and drop your overnight bag down in the foyer. Padding further into Leon’s place, you notice that he hasn’t gotten home yet. You make your way into his bedroom and flop down onto his pristinely made bed.
You nuzzle your face into the bedspread, sighing as you breathe in Leon’s scent. You wish he’d just keep you here; you know he’d love it, he’s always so stressed and having you here would help him out in more ways that one.
“Sweetheart, I’m home,” his voice calls out to you.
“In here!” you yell from the bedroom, listening as you hear his footsteps get closer and closer.
“Oh, is my pretty baby getting my sheets all messy?” his low voice gives you goosebumps as he joins you on the bed.
“Mmm yeah, daddy,” you smile up at him.
“I know a better way to get’em all messy,” he kisses your neck making you sigh and tilt your head.
“Leon!” you giggle as he noses along your skin to kiss your jaw.
He places a noisy kiss on your check then pulls himself off of the bed.
He holds his hand out to you, “C’mon, I got us dinner on the way home.”
You pout as you raise up, “I thought we were going out?”
“I’m too tired, baby,” he pulls you up to your feet and drops a kiss on your head, “let’s just relax at home.”
You try not to show your disappointment; you always love going out to a restaurant with Leon. You love being the one on his arm, watching as other men and women look at you enviously as he pulls out your chair for you or holds the door open.
You shuffle on sock clad feet into the dining room. Leon has a few take out containers set on the table and you slump down on a seat and pop one open.
“How was your day?” he asks as he pours you a glass of water.
You shrug, pushing the food around with a fork, “It was whatever.”
Leon frowns at your tone, but you refuse to look at him. You both eat in silence for a few moments before he clears his throat.
“Baby, I’m not in the mood today,” he sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose, “we can go out tomorrow, okay?”
You’re not even mad about not being able to go out, but there’s this itching underneath your skin that you just can’t ignore. It’s making you irritable and as much as you hate taking it out on Leon, it feels like you can’t control it.
You scrape your fork against your container over and over until Leon’s hand reaches out to grab your wrist. You look over at him to see his lips pressed into a thin line.
“You’re really pushing it, sweetheart,” his eyes stay laser focused on yours, his grip on your wrist tightening, “I’ve had a stressful day and I just wanted to come home and forget about it with my pretty girl.”
You shrug, “Okay.”
His eyes narrow as he lets go of your wrist, “Go into the bedroom, take off your clothes, and lay face down on the bed.”
Your heart leaps in your chest but you nod and push away from the table.
“I’ll be in there as soon as I’m finished,” he states, not watching you leave.
You shed your clothes as you walk to his room, dropping them on the floor knowing it’s just going to make Leon even more angry with you. Your nipples tighten in anticipation.
Once you finally make it back to Leon’s bedroom, you crawl on top of the mussed sheets and lay out on your stomach. You try to calm your breathing as you wait for Leon. Accidentally drifting asleep, you groggily come to when you feel a pair of warm, calloused hands running along your bare back down to cup your ass.
“Leon,” you sigh, sleepily.
A loud smack rings out as heat blooms across your skin where Leon spanks your ass.
Your whole body jumps but Leon ignores it to land another stinging slap to the opposite cheek. He doesn’t let up even as you cry out, spanking your ass over and over again until the skin is nearly hot to the touch. You arch but don’t move away, enjoying how rough he’s being to you.
“Leon,” you whimper, clit throbbing as your pussy leaks slick down your thighs.
“My baby just needs to be put in her place,” he soothes his hand down your hip.
“Uh huh,” you whine, “need it, please, Leon.”
“Sit still, baby,” he presses down on your back as he moves away from the bed, “need to get a few things.”
You shiver, nipples hard against the sheets making you squirm on the bed. A weight dips down next to you and you feel cool silk wrap around your wrists as Leon tugs your arms behind you back.
“Be good for me, sweetheart, and your punishment won’t be too bad,” he coos at you as he finishes binding your wrists.
“Want it, Leon,” you sigh, “want daddy to really give it to me.”
“Oh?” he laughs softly, “daddy need to teach that little pussy to behave?”
“Uh huh,” you moan, “please, she needs it so bad.”
“It sounds like she’s been a naughty little thing,” his fingers slip between your thighs to rub your slick pussy lips, “you say she needs daddy to teach her a lesson?”
“Yes, yes,” you push your hips down, trying to get him to touch you more, “gotta really give it to her tonight.”
He groans, pulling his hand back to spank your ass making you whimper.
“Daddy’s gonna do a lot of things to you baby, hope you’re ready.”
Your hips rock into the bed as he spanks you hard. Whining, you press your face against his sheets, pussy throbbing with want as he gropes and slaps your ass.
“Love your ass,” he kneels down behind you, placing a soft kiss on the blood hot skin, “needs spanked more often.”
You cry out as Leon sinks his teeth into your sore ass cheek, sucking and worrying the skin until you kick your feet out.
His big biceps wrap around your legs to hold you in place.
“What’d I say?” he hugs your thighs, kissing the skin he bit.
“T-to behave,” you gasp out, clit pulsing from being forced to stay still.
“Good girl,” he laughs, “daddy’s gonna help you do that. We don’t wanna kick anyone, right?”
“Right, daddy. ‘M sorry.”
“Mmm you’re perfectly fine, baby. I know you can’t help it, feels good doesn’t it?” he groans, sinking his teeth back into the same spot.
You whine high in your throat, legs spasming but being forced to stay still making you drip slick all over the bed.
Leon ignores your sounds and pleas as he sucks bite after bite into your ass cheeks until they’re throbbing in pain. He keeps going back to the same spots to bite deeper and suck harder making you squeal and press yourself against his mouth.
“Daddy, s’too much,” you drool into the bedspread, body completely limp to the point Leon’s not even holding you down anymore.
“Nah, I don’t think so,” he chuckles, spanking your ass to watch your body shudder, “look how much your pussy’s crying baby, she’s loving every second of it.”
“Leon!” you whimper as he dips his head down to lick up the slick covering your thighs, tongue teasing across your pussy lips only to pull away.
“Mm really making me wanna eat her up,” he says more to himself than you but it makes you arch up.
“You want that?” he spreads your thighs even wider, “want daddy to eat your little cunt, baby?”
“Yes yes,” you choke out, “eat my cunt daddy, please.”
He rolls you over onto your side and lifts your leg up, “Wrap theses thighs around my head, sweet girl.“
You moan as he pillows his head on your bottom leg and presses the other one over his head as he licks into your throbbing pussy.
You love it but Leon’s being so slow. He’s lapping at your hole and teasingly dipping his tongue inside then changing direction and kissing his way up to your clit to lick and suck on the sensitive bud.
He hums and groans noisily into your cunt, hands gripping your waist to keep you pressed as close as possible to his mouth. Whining, you squeeze your thighs around his head as you ride his face. Leon goes a little wild at that and roughly fucks his tongue up into your dripping pussy, grinding his nose against your clit harshly.
He rolls you onto your back, hands now digging uncomfortably into your spine but that gets shoved to the side in favor of the electrifying feeling of Leon devouring your pussy like a man starved.
“Leon, feels so good,” you whine, rolling down against his mouth, “gonna cum.”
You cry out as he pulls away, landing a smack onto your spit soaked clit.
“None of that til you earn it,” he grins, wiping your slick off of his chin, “roll back onto your tummy for me, sweetheart.”
Your chest burns with embarrassment at his tone as you roll back over onto your front.
“That little pussy distracted me, but I’m about to paddle this ass til I think you’ve learned a lesson, okay?” you feel him shift on the bed.
“Almost forgot,” he laughs under his breath making you feel warm all over, “lift your head a bit. There we go.”
He slips the faux leather collar around your neck and fastens it gently.
“Leon,” you whimper, biting your lip.
“Not too tight?”
You shake your head no as you relax down into the bed, “No daddy, s’good.”
“Good girl,” he pets your hip making you sigh, “you can be so good when you want to be.”
“M sorry, Leon,” you wiggle against him, “I’ll be good, promise.”
“Too late for that, still gotta spank my girl for acting up,” he lightly taps the paddle down onto your sore ass, “gonna give you ten, if it’s too much you let me know okay?”
You hum, “Yes, daddy.”
Leon ghosts his fingertips against your tender skin and as soon as you relax into the touch, he brings the paddle down to crack against both cheeks.
You gasp out a low moan as Leon chuckles, “Don’t you sound pretty. That’s one.”
He quickly brings down the paddle until he lands on five. You’re sniffling into the bedsheets by then, skin feeling like it’s on fire.
“Hurts, daddy,” your tongue is heavy in your mouth.
You hear him set the paddle down on the bed as he smooths his palms down your back to softly ghost over your inflamed skin down to your thighs.
“Okay, baby.”
He grabs around your thighs and pulls you to the edge of the bed making you whine as the sheets drag across your swollen clit.
Looping his fingers through your collar, he pulls you until your spine’s curved with your ass pushed out. Without any warning, he bullies his fat cock deep into your cunt, not stopping until he’s completely bottomed out.
You squeal and writhe in his grasp, eyes rolling back at the sudden stretch and fullness of your pussy. Giving you no time to adjust, he’s pulling all the way out until only the tip is stretching you open before thrusting back into your soaked hole.
Your whole body thrums with pain and arousal, gasping as the collar pulls against your neck sporadically with his thrusts.
“Pussy’s just crying for me,” Leon mutters as he grinds his hips against your sore ass making you clench, “fuck, she’s soaked, honey.”
Drooling, your hands scramble at the sheets to push yourself up to keep from choking on the collar, “D-daddy.”
“Take it, honey,” he growls, “you’re gonna take what I give you and you’re gonna like it.”
You shudder and press back against him. Leon groans and lets go of your collar to shove you face down into the bed, roughly yanking your hips back.
“Tight little pussy,” he grunts, pushing his palm on the middle of your back to keep you still.
He fucks into you hard, making you scream as he knocks the tip of his dick into your cervix making fireworks explode in your head.
“There we go,” he laughs, hand sliding up your back to press your face into the bed, “gotta make it hurt or you’ll never learn your lesson, baby.”
You can only make punched out little moans of pain as Leon pounds your pussy, the fat head of his cock pressing against your cervix and grinding against the opening. Your legs kick out weakly but he just laughs and smacks your ass with this other hand.
“Don’t even need to spit on this pretty pussy she’s so wet,” he groans.
Leon pulls his cock out making you mewl. Shifting around, he presses the bottom of his foot on your head, the other planted firmly on the floor, and fucks down into your pussy at a new angle.
Using both hands to grab onto your hip, he rocks his dick in and out of your dripping hole, slick messily smearing over your cunt.
You moan loudly, pussy walls clenching down on Leon, sucking him in deeper. He thrusts his cock harder into your squelching cunt, making your eyes roll back as he grinds against your g-spot.
“Leon!”
“Feeling good?” he presses his foot down harder, smushing your drooling face into the bedspread, “want you to cum for me, sweet girl.”
Punched out ah ah ah’s leave your lips, pussy split in two as he bullies his cock repeatedly into your sloppy wet hole. His cock keeps knocking against your g-spot make you squeal and clench down on him, pussy walls fluttering around his fat dick. That little band of arousal snaps and your body thrashes against the sheets, slick coating Leon’s cock as you cum with a loud cry.
“There we go,” he coos down at your twitching body, aftershocks pulsing through your cunt making you whine, “such a good girl for me.”
Leon moves until he’s standing behind you again, fucking his cock deep into your clenching pussy.
“Squeeze down on me, pretty thing,” he smacks your ass making you whimper and grind back against him.
“Gonna cum all over your ass since you don’t deserve it in your cute pussy this time, sweetheart.”
You whine, “Please, Leon, please, I’ll be good, please.”
His laugh ends in a groan as you clamp down on his dick, “Oh I’m sure, but this’s to show you how to behave for next time.”
You whine when he pulls out of your cunt, jerking his cock as he shoots hot spurts of cum all over your lower back and ass. After he finishes, you feel his broad palms rub the sticky jizz into your skin with a low laugh.
“Pretty baby,” he sighs, undoing the restraints on your arms and the collar around your neck, “you okay, honey?”
“Mmhmm,” you hum as he rubs your chafed wrists, “wanna shower.”
He chuckles and kisses your bare shoulder, “Me too, c’mon I’ll help you up.”
Leon bends and scoops you up bridal style as you giggle and wrap your arms around his neck.
“I’ll take you out tomorrow night, promise,” he kisses your jaw softly, “now I just wanna take care of you, okay?”
You pet your hands through his hair with a sweet sigh, “Thank you, Leon.”
