Had a thought I wanted to share (CW for noncon+Yan stuff)

Idia being so obsessive and horny and making a sex doll that looks just like his darling, and using an enchanted onahole to ensure it feels exactly like them - even reacting and tightening just like them~

The one issue is that (either on purpose or accidentally) it turns out his darling can feel everything he does to the doll.

Omg yes!! This trope works so well for Idia. Not only is he using the doll for pleasure, he’s also treating it as practice for when he (hopefully) gets to fuck the real version sometime in the future. Even though creating something like this is no sweat for a genius like him, Idia feels like he’s really outdone himself. As synthetic as everything is, it’s still very soft and lifelike, functioning just like his darling beloved’s tight hole. He uses it more times than he'd like to admit, but he just can't help it. It feels too good, and there’s no way he's confident enough to talk to you in person, much less even broach the idea of dates, relationships, or sex. So this doll will have to do for now, and it certainly works wonders. It’s so warm and wet inside, and the doll's hole hugs his cock so snugly. He likes it even more because he can dress the doll up in your clothes just to pretend it's really you underneath him.

Unfortunately, there’s more to the doll than he knows.

You’re in class when it first happens, lazily scribbling away in your notebook while Professor Trein drones on about magic history. It’s the strangest, most invasive sensation. One minute you think you might fall asleep out of sheer boredom, and the next you’re jolting awake when a slick finger traces along your hole before sliding in. You’re staring hard at your notebook, wondering if that really just happened. But then another finger is easing in, and now these phantom fingers are beginning to work you open. Thankfully, that’s all that occurs. You manage to escape class right as the bell rings, your lips bloody from how roughly you bit down to silence your noises, hurrying to the washroom to see what's causing this. The minute the door shuts behind you, though, is when the fleshy head of someone’s cock is prodding at your hole. You can't see it, but it’s there and it's pushing inside, inches stretching you so slowly before whoever it is swiftly bottoms out, promptly knocking all coherent thoughts from your brain.

You’re fucked silly against the wall by an invisible dick and it takes all of your restraint not to make the lewdest sounds you can possibly produce. By the time this person has finished using you, your hole is spattered with cum and you think you might just faint from the overstimulation. Luckily for Idia he has a surprising amount of stamina when he’s in the mood. Unluckily for you, you’re going to be spending the rest of that day bedridden for…reasons. :) and he always cums inside no matter what, so you’ll be very exhausted and very filled by the end of everything.

What is the most common drinkware?

Drinkware is the common term for anything that carries water and beverage, either to store or serve them. Following are the most commonly used drinkware products that you must include in your collections.

Tumbler: The foremost thing you do when you receive gusts is serve water. A tumbler is what most Indian households use for this purpose. So, it's an integral part of the dining or the coffee table and often accompanies a jug. Tumblers are available in different materials like steel, copper, glass, crystal, and plastic. Their price and look differ based on this material. They are best to serve water and chilled beverages. You can reserve expensive tumblers for guests as they need higher maintenance and can be fragile.

Sippers and Water bottles: Water bottles are often for storage purposes and are easy to carry around for office, gym, and other payouts. Sippers are for personal usage while water bottles are for common usage. Like tumblers, water bottles come in different quantities and base materials. They are widely made of plastic, glass, or any other metal like copper. 

Compared to other materials, copper is the best choice next to glass. If you want to drink healthy water, then glass is the best option, next to copper.

Jugs: Reserved for dining tables, jugs are the most classic drinkware and are a must in hot seasons. There are jugs made of copper, glass, fibre, and stainless steel, yet copper jugs can stand out well and are long-lasting. Choosing water jugs is pretty easy as they all come in the same size and quantity, yet differ in appeal. If you want a sophisticated look, you can go for jug sets with pretty prints all over them, rather than a plain one.

Glasses: These are more formal drinkware than tumblers and don’t have a wide opening at the top. They are best suited for hot beverages like tea or coffee. They aren't pricey like other drinkware but you have to buy them in multiple quantities and maintain them carefully. Even if one breaks, you might not be able to use the whole set. You can also buy glasses in other materials like ceramics, bone china, mud, etc.

Mugs: They are popular options to have coffee, without which many cannot start their day. As they are mainly for at-home and personal usage, you can be creative and choose what appeals to you the most, rather than focusing on aesthetics. You can buy suitable coasters for them to protect your tabletop from stains.

The formal option would be cups and saucers which are ideal to serve guests. 

Other than these common drinkware sets, there are barware and stemware to pour and serve wine and other alcohol.

Which material is ideal for drinkware?

This depends on what drinkware you are purchasing, the purpose, and the frequency of its usage. If you are buying drinkware for daily usage, you can choose jugs and water bottles made of copper as it is durable and resilient. But, it also requires more effort to clean and maintain it like it's new.

On the other hand, glass is easier to clean and is dishwasher safe when you use a low-acidic soap solution. It can look elegant as well and go with any tumbler glass set. They are often used in business drinkware collections. However, one needs more care while using them if it's for the home environment.

Ceramics is the next suitable option and it ticks most boxes. They are budget-friendly, look appealing, are slightly durable, and are dishwasher-friendly too. But, they might not look the same way after months or years of usage.

One material that's commonly used in drinkware in recent times is bone china. This is stronger than any other materials, isn't pricey, and looks stunning of all. The utmost benefit is that they are chip-resistant and don't get damaged easily.

You can weigh these pros and cons and choose the most suitable material depending on your purpose.

“Kevin, 32, works at Kodak,” you scroll further to the description, “I love being tied up and need a dominatrix, have swing at home—no.” Swipe right. 

“Lisa, 24, works at Infinity Dance Studio,” you definitely are weak for athletic ladies, “My hobbies include cuticle care and online shopping! Looking for a sugar daddy or mommy that can spoil me rotten—definitely can’t afford that kind of relationship.” Swipe right. 

“Hansol, 26, works in an art museum,” sounds promising, you love art, “wait, why are all his pictures of him holding fish? Is he inside a fish? Who the heck finds that attractive?” Swipe right. 

“Billiam, 31, works in finance. Needs a bratty baby girl who can triangle,” you grimace, “what is with these guys and stating their kinks from the get-go? Gotta take a girl out to dinner first, and the fuck is a triangle?” 

You swore off Tinder since the dark ages, also known as senior year of college. However you’re in a particular slump, thirst-trapped between needing some serious dick and a committed relationship. You’d prefer the latter, but after a stressful day at work and the fact that it’s the ass crack o’dawn, you’ll take what you can get. 

“Bye Billiam,” you sing-song into your phone, moving to swipe right. 

Except you accidentally drop your phone between your sheets, and when you pick it up you accidentally swipe left. 

“Fuck fuck fuck me with a fuckin’ fuck nugget!” you cry out into oblivion. You’re so glad you live alone at the very least, it stops you from looking like a crazy person when you talk your potential sexipades out. 

Billiam has Super-liked you! 

“No. Nononono—” you bludgeon your head against your pillow, frowning when your phone opens up a chat for you and Billiam. 

Billiam: hi can u check if my dick is too small

You: please, don’t send me a picture of your dick. 

Billiam is typing… 

You: for fuck’s sake—

“—that’s disgusting,” Jihoon curses, and immediately sends out the screenshot for sexual harassment. 

“What’s disgusting?” Mingyu chimes, swiveling in his spinny chair from his side of the room.

“Don’t look,” Jihoon gags, reaching for a bottle of Coca-Cola from the mini-fridge. “You’ll throw up your fried chicken.” 

“My person is a twenty-one year old nympho who also happens to be a incel,” Mingyu chastises to his screen, closing up the eighth tab of BBC porn he’s seen this week, “he doesn’t know how well he’s avoiding the FBI’s eyes,” Mingyu shakes his head, “so I’ve seen some pretty bad shit, but I’ll take your word for it.” 

“No,” he echoes your name like you’ve done the most heinous thing in the world, “no, no! Why would you swipe left on Jackson? You’re way out of his league! He literally looks like he has a pea-sized brain!” 

“He does look like he has half a brain cell,” your voice reverberates through his noise-cancelling headphones, unknowingly agreeing to Jihoon’s passionate throw of anger, “but I’m deprived and desperate, so!” 

It’s like you can hear his sentiments exactly. 

“Literally, you could have any person you want,” Jihoon chastises through his desktop, glaring heavily at your bedroom camera, “you’re wasting your time with these losers!” 

Oblivious, you let yourself dangle across the bed. The camera isn’t the best quality, but Jihoon watches intently at the rise and fall of your chest as you attempt to fall into a fitful sleep. 

“Some yell at screens for soccer,” Minghao says to the air from his cubicle, “some yell for Starcraft, but Jihoon yells for Tinder like it’s an Olympic sport.” 

“Jihoonie,” Mingyu rolls around his chair, resting a long arm over the backrest, “do you have a crush on your civilian?” 

Jihoon immediately swivels around his hair, meeting the amused eyes of Mingyu. “No,” he says sharply, whipping around to glare at his screen. 

He glares harder the longer Mingyu’s simple question sinks in. He doesn’t have a crush on you, he likes you. Jihoon swallows his sigh, wondering why you would want to go as low as Tinder to look for a potential tryst. From your profile, you’re absolutely beautiful and intelligent. You have simple pleasures that match his—a hot cup of tea right after dark, snuggling under a weighted blanket while watching anime, and sleeping in on Sundays.

Unlike him, you don’t see the world through half a dozen lenses and a plethora of information right at your fingertips. No, you’re lucky. 

“Hey can you grab me my water bottle?” Mingyu asks over his shoulder. 

Jihoon thinks nothing of it, leaving his post for the thirty seconds it takes to get to the mini-fridge and grab Mingyu’s Hydroflask. 

“You got a call,” Mingyu says when he plops the bottle on his desk, indicating to the red blinker on Jihoon’s computer. 

It isn’t until he puts on his headphones does he take care to see why his blinker is going off. 

He’s getting an incoming call. From you. 

You’ve been waiting on the line for about two minutes. He lets two additional minutes breeze by because Jihoon is internally screaming. You’re calling again. There’s a fire blazing in his brain, his fingers hot as he twitches against the spacebar of his keyboard. 

From the monitor he can see that you’ve given up on sleep, hands pawing through your drawer so you can take a final swipe at your magenta-tinted lip balm before nesting yourself in the sheets. You’re kicking around as if you don’t have work at 9AM, smacking your lips to apply the shiny salve while you wait for your call to be picked up. 

“Why is my civilian calling me,” it isn’t a question, it’s a thinly veiled indication that Jihoon is ready to fight whoever compromised him like this. 

Mingyu and Minghao fail to answer. That’s okay, he isn’t opposed to killing both if neither fess up. 

It would be so easy for him to ignore the call, or redirect it to another part of the office. Yet he aches to talk to you, for real talk to you. As if you’re just two regular plain-old human beings with normal lives, and as if he didn’t know every nook and cranny about your daily routine and your favorite breakfast foods.

Call it pride, call it confidence, but Jihoon’s been pretty good at games and he hopes prior experience helps him get over this hurdle. Slipping on his headset, he accepts the call and answers in a controlled voice, “This is the local hotline for sexual harassment reports, are you here to report a case?” 

Okay, so this is the closest thing he can get to having a full-fledged conversation with you, so he’ll take it. 

“Hi,” you mumble your name into the phone, and he nearly disintegrates right then and there. It’s different when he can hear your voice directly in his ears, definitively reaching out to him as opposed to being a fly on the wall, “I received an email that a report was sent out for my previous chat as sexual harassment, but I didn’t send out a report.” 

“Yes,” Jihoon replies smoothly, tapping his nails against his thighs, “it’s a new update.” 

“Oh, well thank you,” you reply, and Jihoon sees from the camera that you’re staring at your phone in curiosity. 

“It’s my job,” he says, and the words hold more weight than you think, “are you okay?” 

“Is it also your job to ask how I’m doing?” 

He smiles wryly, and he looks up at the monitor to see how you’ve considerably relaxed on your bed. Your legs dangle in the air, and you’re hugging a mango plushie with all the love in the world. “Not really, but I figured I’d ask. I don’t think I’d be able to recover from a dick that looks like an unhinged toenail.” 

Your laugh flutters in his ears, and his stomach is flip-flopping with more than just his shitty ramen lunch. Your face curls and wrinkles into happiness at the lewd joke, and you rest your chin on your stuffed fruit. 

“I’m okay,” you finally answer, “it’s not the first time I’ve seen subpar dick. But thank you… what’s your name?” 

“Uji,” he says, a codename that he considers as precious as his actual name, “feel free to call or text this number if you’re ever feeling uncomfortable and in distress.” 

“I’ll keep that in mind, good night Uji.” 

“Good night.” 

That wasn’t so bad, Jihoon thinks as he hangs up the phone. He dims the monitors to let you freshen up and get ready for bed, as per your schedule. After tonight, he hopes he can be sated with his curiosity of you. Maybe he needs to follow your plans and open up a dating account or something, he feels that he’s starting to get a little too engrossed in your presence. 

The waning starts today. 

You: help, i’m feeling uncomfortable and in distress

Uji: what is it this time? 

You: i can’t decide which weighted blanket i should get. Will more weight make me feel more comforted or will i accidentally suffocate myself in my sleep? 

The waning of you did not start that night, in fact it never began. Jihoon’s been on edge for weeks, simultaneously teetering between what he calls the high-school equivalent of the talking stage and an absolute catastrophe. 

It started as an accident, you meant to call your friend’s number for cooking help but since the last call before your friends was his, you called Jihoon instead. To your surprise, he knew how to roll out homemade pasta without a pasta machine. You kept him on the call for the entirety of dinner preparation, and he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pride when your pasta turned out perfect and you were happy and full for the entire night. 

Weeks later, and you’ve been texting each other for shits and giggles. At first you chalk up your insistence that he’s basically Human Google and has the answers to seemingly anything and everything, but over time it seems that you enjoy your daily interactions with him. Whether it be a simple phone call asking how to unclog your drain or a screenshot comparing two different KitchenAids, he’s at your disposal. 

The burner phone he’s been holding as of late is on silent, but he’s able to pick it up immediately. It’s almost intuition, coupled with the way he notices whenever you seem in a pickle and you need to contact him. However he does not have a chance to formulate a reply, as you’re now calling him.

“Couldn’t wait?” he speaks as if you’re familiar with each other, as if you’re friends. Jihoon longs for that so much, he would love to be upgraded to someone other than the IT guy you text for funsies. 

“Yes,” you say, voice laced with determination, “I’m deciding on whether to just like or Super-Like this guy on Light a Flame.” 

Jihoon deflates a little, but steels himself. You’d never want to go on a date with the IT guy, it seems that you enjoy the anonymity of your recent communications. Your conversations are definitely meme-worthy. 

“Who is it?” 

“His name’s Lee Jihoon, 25, works in the FBI.” 

He chokes on his coffee, precious beans from Argentina, and the liquid is flying across his keyboard. 

Pulling up your phone view, it confirms the worst. In a moment of Weakness with a capital W, Jihoon had caved and made a Light a Flame profile the other night. It’s an app reserved for more serious relationships, which means you’ve finally graduated from Tinder. 

“Are you okay?” he wants to cry when he hears you on the other line, genuinely panicked. “Do you need me to send you his profile?” 

“N-no,” he sputters, rubbing a rough napkin from McDonalds over his dripping chin. He thought he privated his profile last week after he realized there was nothing he could do to let loose of you. Turns out that isn’t the case, because you’re currently pursuing his profile and actually kinda-sorta considering him for a potentially serious relationship. 

“C’mon, Uji,” you tease lightly, “you always seem to know what to do. This is your area of expertise after all, since you work for that kind of department.” 

What should he do, scratch that, what can he do? It’s a complete violation of policy to be fraternizing with his civilian life. Sure, there has been episodes of civilians and agents meeting each other, but only minor violations that both parties forgot about shortly after. He’s so far deep at this point, he can risk being relocated or losing his civilian—losing you. 

“Do you think he really works in the FBI?” you say when he doesn’t reply immediately, “he’s really cute, though. Totally looks like my style, and he likes My Hero as well! C’mon, I just need for you to check as to whether he’s a homicidal maniac or a compulsive liar.” 

Liar. He’s a liar. 

That self-accusation prompts him to slump in defeat, and he mumbles in the phone, “I don’t think he’s worth it. I’d say pass.” 

“Hey, Coups has seniority,” Soonyoung pats Jihoon thoughtfully on the back with one hand, and grilling meat with the other. Barbeque always lifted up Jihoon’s spirits. “Why don’t you give it a chance and meet her for real? And then he can give me your super cute civilian and then he can give my shitty civilian to some newbie.” 

“And if it doesn’t work out, I just lose her,” Jihoon’s eyes are watering, most likely from the excess smoke around their grill, but it does align with his current state of sadness. It was the right thing to do, he thinks over and over as he replays that phonecall from last night. “Hoshi, if you were in my situation, would you have done the same?” 

“Like I said–” Soonyoung—codename Hoshi, waves his tongs around like a magic wand, “your civilian is super cute, so I would be making a beeline to her house and—” 

“Okay, don’t finish that sentence,” you’re his civilian, not Soonyoung’s. 

“Cheer up, c’mon,” Soonyoung’s filling his bowl with all sorts of delicious things, charred vegetables, mixed rice, and pork belly. Jihoon’s favorite is pork belly, so eventually he relents with a timid smile, taking out his chopsticks to appease his friend, “there it is, Uji. Food always makes things better—” 

“Uji?” 

Both off-duty agents freeze, hearing the familiar ting of your voice as it glares holes into Jihoon’s back. It’s you. Since they’re off the clock, he would have no idea you’d be here. Usually that’s fine, it’s early morning and it’s pretty unlikely that you’d run into your civilian considering you’re supposed to know every second of their schedule. It seems that tonight you’ve varied from the norm. 

“Uh, hey?” 

His back is still facing you, and he’s side eying Soonyoung in a panic. He’s wearing a cap and a nondescript hoodie, feeling like a shlub as your familiar voice pings back at him with excitement. 

“I knew I recognized your voice!” you’re unfazed, definitely not realizing the distress the two men are currently going through. “What a small world, I didn’t think we’d ever actually run into each other!” 

“Talk to her, you ass!” Soonyoung hisses, and immediately swivels his chair so he has no choice but to face you.

You’re so, so pretty. Prettier in person, prettier than any crappy 480p screen can give him. You’re definitely not dressed for barbeque, in fact you look like you’re just passing by to pick up a to-go order after a night out. You’re dressed in a silky looking velvet off-the-shoulder top, the cherry red color practically melting onto your skin. The black skirt paired with it has Jihoon salivating for more than just barbeque, and he has no idea how to look away. 

The smile is wiped clean off your face however, and you recognize him almost immediately. “Jihoon?” 

This should be a moment of joy for him, after all it’s far too late to go back at this point. You look a little hurt, your face twisted in confusion as you put two and two together. 

Soonyoung excuses himself to go to the bathroom, although neither party seems to care. The lame, over-distended EDM music that plays over the cacophony of the barbeque place seems to melt in the atmosphere, much like how the smoke hits the fan, and it’s just you two in the room. Jihoon gestures a pale hand to Soonyoung’s seat, and you take a beat to reluctantly sit yourself down. 

You clutch your skirt with both hands, thumbs ringing against the pleats and ironing them out. “So, you’re also Jihoon?” your voice is tiny, small and sad. Jihoon feels liquid guilt inject in his veins, and he wishes he could reach out and pat your shoulder, hold your hand, something. However no matter how much he knows you, he’s a stranger to you. “Why did you lie to me?” 

“It’s… complicated,” you shake your head at his pathetic reply, and Jihoon hates this. He feels like he’s drowning in smoke and mirrors and the cloying scent of pork belly is now sticking to all his senses, immobilizing him. 

With a cross of your arms, you scoff, “It’s always complicated.” 

“Please don’t think I said those things the other night because I don’t want to date you,” Jihoon tumbles the words out like a hamster wheel, wanting to speed up to your pace as fast as he can, “I want to, I really do, but it’s—”

“Complicated.” 

“Yeah.” 

The two of you sit in silence, letting the noise back into your little bubble. Jihoon feels his stare on you, akin to how a teacher looks over your shoulder during an exam. He robotically eats rice, grain after grain as he lets you have your look. 

The slope of his nose, the cotton smooth skin, the lean yet strong stature. You can’t believe he matches the Light a Flame profile perfectly. Other than the frumpy clothes, he matches the man on your phone, a simple picture in a black suit that reminds you strangely of the movie Kingsman. You mentally roll through what you remember from his profile, his hobbies, his likes and dislikes, his occupation—

“Wait,” you pause, your brows knitting together, “so the FBI thing on your profile… is not a joke?” 

Jihoon forgets to chew his last bite, and he swallows a whole two centimeters of meat down his throat. Ouch. 

“It’s—” 

“Complicated.” 

The adjective has a whole new meaning now. It’s crazy how in so little words, so much is exchanged between you two. You might not be realizing it, but Jihoon’s so attuned to you he feels like the pick to your guitar, strumming and humming along your chords like it’s second nature. It really isn’t fair, but anticipating your reactions helps greatly. 

“There’s things you’re not telling me.” 

“Right.” 

“And things you can’t tell me,” you add. 

“Yes.” 

“Then what are some things you can tell me?” 

“I’d… rather not here,” Jihoon’s eyes dart around the room, looking for all the pinholes and micro cams attached to the restaurant. By the bonsai, under the table, in the koi tank, “I need to work out some paperwork before anything.” 

“Paperwork?” 

Jihoon nods mutely, but he looks at you with a litany of emotions in his eyes you’re reeling back in your stool. Why do you feel like this man knows you from a simple five-minute interaction? And why do you feel like you can trust this man with your life? 

“Okay,” you finally say. 

“Really? Okay?” you think he’s cute, the way his eyes perk up and his back straightens. 

“Really.” 

Silence fills the space once more. This time however, it feels more at ease. 

“The only reason why I’m saying yes,” you pretend to nonchalantly play with your fingertips, a manicure reserved for a date you’ve long abandoned for this evening in favor of a new flame, “is because I think FBI agents are kinda hot.” 

A flush blooms on Jihoon’s cheeks, and you can’t help but giggle.

5. Eclipse

When the sun and the moon became one, the sky turned red.

The entire kingdom of Kalon grew quiet, no children playing in the streets in sight and nothing and no one moved a muscle.

Instead, in the castle, the screams and the yells of pain and anguish from the high mighty Queen herself was heard as it bounced off every hallway and seeped into every little crevice for the walls to remember this moment forever. Wet nurses and doctors scrambled in and out of the birthing room but one man stood off to the side facing the corner, refusing to see the tears and the madness swimming in the eyes of his beloved.

“Bin,” she called. “Robin.”

Despite the signal for need of comfort from his wife, Robin continued to stay frozen at his spot and remained there even as the birth was starting.

“Curse you!” Selene shouted, followed by a high-pitch scream that caused all the glass in their part of the castle to break. 

All metallic objects rose from their spots and shook as the Merakian princess spouted nonsensical spells that would lessen the pain but it served no purpose as the child fought its way out. The nurses and the 3 doctors paled at the amount of blood the human witch was letting out and they chewed more on the bay leaf to hopefully distract the smell and their thirst for the liquid.

“Restimio! Firello! Suriani!” She shrieked and sobbed, eventually blubbering into distorted noises. However, she uttered the only recognizable word.

A name.

“Bin,” she yelled. But Bin placed a hand around his mouth and nose, partially because of the blood but because of the staggering and irregular breaths he let out. 

Tears fell down his high cheekbones and his hands shook, finally recognizing what he has done and the pain that overcame his body.

The millisecond moment of the sun kissing the moon, the screaming stopped.

Robin’s eyes widened as he finally turned around but he will forever regret that memory for as long as he lived.

Laying on the bed, his beloved Queen Selene, princess of Meraki, was lifeless on the Egyptian cloth with her eyes still open, only for it to look empty and dull. The smile he used to see first thing in the morning became the last thing he remembers from her. The olive skin from her childhood near Cyprus lost its brightness, replaced by a pale and flushed tone. And the aura she emitted that once filled the room with warmth and comfort, vanished as if it never existed at all.

“Selene,” he mumbled from his spot. Then his legs moved on its own and rushed to her side with his hand clutching her cold ones. “Love? Selene?!”

The royal doctor held the child, not screaming or making a fuss, red eyes flitting around the room as it has no idea of what just happened.

The loss of a mother.

“Selene?!” He yelled while the nurses and doctors either turned around and looked down to the floor, refusing to look at their King break and fall apart.

The King that led many victories against Orenda, in turn lost the battle against Death and his wife.

“Love, we talked about this,” he mumbled with a manic smile but pained eyes. “Darling, I can’t turn you if your heart stops beating. Come on, Selene. I know you’re strong enough to make that lovely heart beat for me again, aren’t you?”

But he knew she was gone. His words would never reach her again and he hung his head low, droplets of tears staining the maroon carpet.

“Your Majesty, the babe is a little girl,” said the royal doctor in hopes of seeing the King light up at the mention of his child.

But instead, Bin clenched his hands into a fist and he whipped his head around, frightening the nurses at the hateful glare he sent to his daughter.

“Take that away. Get that bloody thing away from here.”

You closed your eyes to prevent yourself from bursting into tears as you knew you shouldn’t have killed Jun but you still did. Overcome with the anger and betrayal, your mind completely blanked and before you know it, he was screaming with pain and agony as the fire danced on his skin then proceeded to eat him alive.

The screams and the shouts echoed in your mind as it reminded you of the same thing from way far back into your memory.

A woman.

Donghyuck placed a cup of tea mixed with tonic on the table in front of you, snapping you awake from your daydream.

“Hm, was it too much for you to handle?” He asked, not meaning for it to sound condescending.

You shook your head slightly and picked up the delicate cup, “No matter how many times I’ve killed, the pained screams will never be an accepted sound to my ears.”

He watched you in curiosity, deciding if he should just ask you or not. “But your reputation makes it sound like you’re a kill-hungry beast, princess.”

“Don’t listen to rumors, Donghyuck, shouldn’t you know that?” You snapped. “Besides, I never take a life unless it is deserving. You might be surprised but I am quite merciful.”

“Oh? The pillars of mercy are principles that are familiar to you? Hm, that’s interesting.” He commented before sipping his tea.

But yours remained untouched. “I’m merciful because I’m a princess. But I’m also cruel because I’m a Queen.”

“If it were me, I would’ve given him to be feasted on by the guards,” he mused. “Instead of just setting fire to him, you wanted him to bathed in holy water first. Not letting him go to Hell sounds quite too merciful, don’t you think?”

Cold eyes glaring into the amused smirk of the prince, you twitched. “What are you implying, prince?”

“I’m just simply curious, darling. “ He placed the cup down and laced his fingers on top of the glass table. “The holy water burned away all of his sins but you wanted him to burn later for his crimes as a traitor? It sounds conflicting however way you put it, love.”

“Nothing is more painful than a walking sin being washed with the water blessed by the Church. No fire is strong enough to truly burn away all traces of him,” you replied coldly, gritting your teeth.

“Come on, love. I’m a prince who loves to torture criminals! So I know that the holy water rid him of his sins so he could rightfully walk through the gates of Heaven, am I wrong?” The boy smirked as he watched you squirm slightly in your seat. “So, say that it is just because you are indeed merciful?” He paused to gauge your reaction. “Or is it because he’s of Merakian blood?” 

There it was.

The reaction he expected from you showed with your eyes clearly narrowing on him and you chuckling humorlessly before running your tongue under your front teeth, showcasing your fangs.

“Merakian or not, death is given to those who are deserving of it, Donghyuck. Rather than spending your time feeding into your obsession with torture, maybe you should bust out the books and read up on the punishments for traitors that a real prince should’ve memorized.” Your reply obviously had an effect on him as the smirk melted away and his gaze turned hard.

“You know, I wanted to go easy on you since you’re a wife of one of my best mates. But I can’t help but notice the smell of you,” he cocked his head to the side. “Why is it you smell sweet? Vampires don’t smell like anything since the blood that runs through our veins isn’t actually ours. But yours, it smells sickly sweet. Like peaches.”

Knowing that Donghyuck was smart even though he acted foolish sometimes, you didn’t think he would actually catch on. Looking up from your lap with a slight smile, you asked, “Didn’t my spell work on you, prince?”

Donghyuck grinned as his suspicions were confirmed. “You might’ve fooled everyone including Jaemin and my brother, but I’ve never been an easy one to enchant. You see, Y/N, I actually do study, so I know how to reject your spells. The moment we met, I felt that tingle and I knew then, what you were, you little half-ling. When you called for my help to get rid of Jun, I initially wanted no part of your affairs. But I knew this would confirm everything.”

“Are you going to tell Jaemin, Donghyuck?” You looked at him plainly, as if unbothered by this news. And it irked Donghyuck to no end.

“Why do you look so lax? You think I won’t?” He snapped but you remained calm and collected.

Your grin took him aback and you relished every moment of surprise from him. “I know you will. But he’s not going to believe you. I’m his Queen and you’re nothing but a little pebble in our world. So go ahead and tell him. But I can’t guarantee what will happen to you once you do, though. Because like you, I have friends that are in need of a new toy.”

Now, you were surprised. Instead of an angry or even a scared expression, he cracked into a smile and a laugh. “Oh, princess. I must say, I thought you were an actually weak little girl. But you got guts, I like that.”

Amused, you placed your chin on your hand. “But I haven’t done anything, though?” You asked innocently.

“I see it in your eyes.”

The smell of the market wafted into your nose and you let out a hungry growl at the delicious looking blood pudding that was showcased in front of a store. Immediately, you fast-paced straight to it and you entered, the small chime from the bell on the door signaling your arrival.

As your fingers neared the small cup, your phone rang. An irritated sigh escaped you and you swiped it to answer.

“What is it?” You answered, knowing exactly who it was.

“Oi, don’t talk to me like that!” Jaemin tutted but you weren’t listening as you were too busy grabbing the cups. “Did you arrive safely?”

“Of course. I wouldn’t be talking to you right now, wouldn’t I?” 

Jaemin paced in his study and Jeno could tell from his grumpy look that you weren’t exactly being nice. 

“I just wanted to check in with you. Making sure you’re still alive and all since we’d prepare to war if you were suddenly dead. You know how impulsive your little kingdom is.” Jeno face-palmed at his best friend’s dumb answer.

“It’s not hard to say you’re worried, Jaems.” The mumble wasn’t loud but enough to be heard.

A faint familiar voice in his end made you perk up as you were placing about 10 cups in your basket. “Oh? Is that Jeno? Hello, darling!”

Your loud voice was heard by the said-boy and he laughed at Jaemin’s annoyed expression as he held the phone tightly. “Yah, can’t you greet your husband like that? Do you need me to clarify this for you? I’M NA JAEMIN. YOUR HUSBAND, Kalonian.”

Pulling a face at the horrid nickname, you paused and placed the basket down to put it on your hip. “Why are you being like this, Na Jaemin? I am allowed to greet anyone however I like! Besides, Jeno helped me arrange the flowers in the garden last Tuesday since somebody was too busy playing with a stick! So of course he deserves a nice acknowledgement!”

Looking at his best friend, Jaemin looked betrayed as they were supposed to have sword practice that afternoon but Jeno bailed out last minute. “So it was you who took my best friend! Oi, he’s already taken! Find another!”

“I already have! If you get Jeno, I get the other twin! Donghyuck is mine!” You childishly fired back.

The people in the store looked at the woman with a hood on and sunglasses with weird expressions as she stomped on the floor.

“Yah! No one is yours! Only I am yours! You hear me?! Not Jeno, Not Donghyuck, Me!” Jaemin shouted and he angrily walked out of the study to go outside so he could freely yell at you more.

Jeno stared at the oak wood door before returning to his flower crown, fingers intricately weaving and sighing deeply. “Thank you for your arrival, Y/N because I honestly don’t know how much I could take from that dumbass anymore.”

a/n: ya bitch just got out of hell and came back!

All things change. The bus and our journey is evolving. I have begun to prepare to live in a bus and partially moved a Huge Part of my studio into the bus. This desk (while @buddhabeeapiary you might not understand) is the heart of my workspace. It stores everything I need and can now be productive when days are slow and I'm on the road with Meraki 🚌💨 learning the concept of minimalism. Having the #desk in the bus is learning the ropes of living small and working small and really just to spend more time in my bus. • • Come visit the new set up @the_farmery today until 10pm.

[rowi-s-box]

February, alas the month of love which for sure is present within this month’s @lookfantastic box theme! Now I can clearly recognise what is ‘new’ about the styling of these boxes! Indeed, it’s all about the visual! Block coloured design (Which I quite like – good for photo backgrounds etc). Not only that, I especially love the little quote that’s written on the inner side of the boxes lid! This month as it’s all about love, quotes ‘’ Meraki (May-rah-kee) Doing something with soul, creativity or love’’ I like that!

So, I’ve kept you hanging with little snapshots on my Instagram page! Time to put that curiosity to bed & let’s jump right in to the contents, shall we?  WHATS INSIDE THE BOX?

Dr. PAW PAW – ORIGINAL BALM 10 ML

What is this? Well, I for one hadn’t come across this product before? Yet I am familiar with the concept of multipurpose balms (think Elizabeth Arden eight-hour etc). It’s a bit of an all-round soothing balm suitable for multiple areas. ‘’With naturally fermented Paw Paw’’ This is perfect as a lip balm, nail and cuticle softener or, as also suggested for use as a make up & eye primer? For me – Hello oil face! I couldn’t get away with that, having a true oily skin type right now! I like that this is the perfect size for travelling around with, easily drops into the bag for those moments when we need a little hydration. For me I think this works best as lip balm however; if prone to those pesky dry skin flaky patches & especially in these cold months! This is a neat little solution to tap on without ruining your make up & provide a quick re-hydration. It’s also really handy for use under those lipsticks, the ones that can appear a bit thin & seem to highlight any dryness, if that makes sense?  I like this product and would definitely consider repurchasing (RRP £ 6.95 for 25 ml). I find that’s acceptable. 

TRIFLE COSMETICS (Sublime Lip scrub in Sugar Pear)

Mmmmh! Warning! This smell and tastes so good you may want to eat it! What is it? A lip scrub (exfoliator) formulated with Cacao butter, Sweet Almond & Peach seed oil. Super gentle for exfoliating the lips and even tastes like toffee! Yes, I did accidentally eat a bit! I personally love this type of product being something I tend to overlook when shopping. Yet, the lips need hydration and a bit of a pampering too! This is incredibly gentle, hydrating and nourishing for the lips – pucker up! Perfect for use before applying lipstick for a smooth surface or, twice per week as a treatment. Another one that I would consider re-purchasing although, I  have  in the past used a South Korean product by Tony Moly which if truth be told, I found to be that bit more hydrating than this. Yet, I can’t knock it as this is also a solid and effective product and I love this quirky packaging too!

CAUDALIE (Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum 10 ML) 

Now, here is a French brand that I very much link & rate highly for their gentle yet effective approach to skin care. Having tried serums & moisturisers from the brand before, I’ve been keen to try this one out for a while now. Suitable for dry & sensitive skin types, this serum claims to ‘’diffuse water & restore the moisture balance to the skin, leaving it soft and supple’’ (little tip is that it also makes a good primer). From my little sample I’m enjoying using this it’s lightly hydrating & this type of product works well with my sensitive skin type. My moisturiser & make up sit well on top of this product and I notice how comfortable my skin feels too. However, a little goes a long way! You wouldn’t want to overdo it, personally I would feel that my pores could clog should I apply too much. It’s hard to truly review as this is a very small sized sample but, so far I do like it. Perhaps as I’m so into my K-beauty! I feel I can find other products just as effective, often for less. However, in saying that, I did purchase the Vinoperfect radiance serum (you can check out my full review here …..) Initially, I wasn’t overly impressed but, as time went on and I integrated it into a routine, it found it had a place. We all have such different skin types, generally Caudalie products have solid reviews online & are made up with effective formulations so, this SOS serum could really work nicely for you.

FILORGA – (MESO MASK) 

A treatment product; leave on, wash off hydration mask. Or, as an overnight treatment (this is how I use it). Apply a generous amount all over the face & either leave on for 30 mins and wash off with a cotton pad, or let it sink in overnight and cleanse off in the morning. This is formulated with Rhamnose Polysaccharide! Yep I’d never heard of that either! & NCTF which is an anti-ageing complex apparently used in non-surgical procedures! Sounds a bit frightening doesn’t it! This little sample gives a pretty potent punch! I must admit that my skin has been particularly troubled over the last few weeks, from the first time I used this, I distinctively noticed the next day that my skin appeared calmer and less irritated. Too early to comment on wrinkles and anti-ageing, besides I don’t really have many lines, thankfully! I do have smile lines around the mouth area however, but, I couldn’t really say if this helped without using it for longer. From my experience so far, I do think this is a pretty powerful product.

ELEMIS-(PRO COLLAGEN MARINE CREAM) 

I think it’s safe to say that most people who are into skincare would have heard of Elemis at some point or another? This a professional salon brand that I’ve seen used in many spa type environments? This must be a good indicator as to the quality of the products? Not having tried them before I was excited to receive this ‘best-selling’ moisturiser. ‘’Suitable for all skin types, designed to increase hydration & help improve the appearance of fine lines, for best results use post serum stages’’ First impressions are good, it’s light weight yet fully hydrating and non-sticky feeling, I like how my skin feels comfortable with this over it & that it is so light which means that it doesn’t clog the pores at all. It claims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in 14 days with consistent use – let’s see! I didn’t notice anything totally game changing but as with most things, it takes time to see full results.

BELLA PIERRE (SHIMMER ROLL IN CHAMPAIGN)

Shimmer, shimmer time! This is a highlighting product delivered in a neat little roll on packaging. Which makes it super easy to apply. My skin tone is warm and this works well for me. I think this is the type of shade that would suit everyone’s skin tone, when blended in. With literally a multitude of uses! Over the eyelids for extra shimmer, cheek or collar bones as a highlighter, under the brows for extra sharp definition etc. For the oily skin types out there; I like that this is powder based, as with a creamy product I find they can glide off and mess with my general make up! This product being powder based allows it to stay on without disturbing anything. I especially like using this for under-brow definition &  highlighting for an enhanced glow. The size is good for taking around with you & due to only needing small amounts of the product it should last a fair amount of time too.

So there you have the contents of this month’s Look Fantastic February edition #unboxed! Overall I’m happy with this months edition, despite (again) no full sized product! Despite this, with contents like the lip balm, scrubs and highlighter are all the types of products that will last relatively well, being so concentrated and that a small amount per use is all that’s really needed. The skincare items are both products that I’m happy to sample out being more high end on the market £££! In the past I’ve splurged, only to be disappointed in discovering they are not quite right for my skin type so, this is the perfect way to avoid this kind of repeat! I’m happy with this months edition and quite enjoyed the branding and theme of it all.

Have you tried this too? What were your impressions? Did you love it? Or perhaps disappointment with the content? Let me know your thoughts, it’s always great to her other perspectives and how products work with our individual skint types & preferences Thank you for reading & enjoy the rest of your day beauties ❤

[merakiui]

keep thinking how can differ dicks between species in twst boys…idk if it is scary or exciting to let IT be put into someone;)

It's beyond terrifying. T_T whether human or mer, the twins have massive monstercocks and I will die on this hill. OTL they are absolutely packing in human form. Those dicks are going to break you and ruin you and make you so stupid and cum-drunk; and now no other dick will satisfy quite like the tweels' can. Their dicks are so big you'd think they were made specifically to breed!!!! You can never try topping either of them (although they're certainly willing to let you try) because not even a minute into sex and you're already losing your mind. With their mer forms, I imagine they can either have two (for oviposition routes) or one really big, inhuman, prehensile monster of a cock and it drives you so crazy and !!!!!!! The delusions are interchangeable.

AND AZUL. I have a PhD in Azul cock. (˘ ˘ ˘) I could talk about the potential all day because he has the tako hectocotylus that can fill you in more ways than one (spatially and biologically). It's even better if he's fucking you in mer form and he doesn't tell you he's putting his dick in, so you're either getting stuffed full or it's just one of his tentacles. It's like Russian roulette but for sex and breeding. Will he knock you up today, or are you safe? >:) better let him climax quick if you're so desperate to find out.

It goes without saying Malleus is the king of monstercock!!!! He has two of them. <3 it's even better because you could fall apart on one or both of them and Malleus will later worry about whether or not you enjoyed yourself. He goes to Lilia like: "do you think my friend enjoyed our copulation? I worry I may not have been adequate enough." 🥺👉👈 firstly, Malleus, you and darling are lovers at this point!!! <3 and secondly, you were more than adequate. He is immaculate and so good with aftercare as well. But before you can get to the gentle aftercare, you have to be destroyed by the monstercock first.

With Lilia, I imagine he can change his dick size using magic. He's so silly and spontaneous in that way. One minute he's average-sized and the next he's filling you all the way up to your stomach as if he's trying to rearrange your guts. T_T and he's always giggling and cooing at you like, "Aww, can't take more than this? Was it not you who told me you wanted it deeper?" >:( troublesome!!! You want it deeper and he wants to parent another child. orz

As for Sebek, since he's part fae, I imagine he just has a big dick, too. I think he fucks you without realizing just how big he is and then he's smug seeing your tummy bulge and the way you look so blissed out because a human who can't take something like this is obviously subpar! (No, Sebek, you're just big and also you just gave darling the best fuck of their life. T_T)

Savanaclaw has dicks befitting their beastfolk nature. Leona with his barbed cock....... it will hurt, but maybe you like the pain hehe. And Jack with his absurdly big dick and knot!!!!!! But he's so sweet about it, and he's surprisingly good at "just the tip" when he knows you can only take so much. He doesn't want to stress you out or hurt you, and he's very patient and gentle and loving. Ruggie has a smaller cock, but he knows how to utilize other assets (hands and mouth and words) to get you worked up. But then it's in his nature to be submissive during sex and it's really so cute even though he hisses at you to call him something other than that. T_T at least call him cute when he's not babbling nonsense and filth because he's so lost in the sensations.

thinking about yandere!scaramouche & somnophilia.

(cw: yandere, nsfw, unhealthy behaviors/relationship, somnophilia, non-con)

it starts small at first. feeling your heart through the soft cloth of your clothes. tracing your pulse through your wrist or your neck. sometimes you’ll stir under his careful touch, and he’ll draw back briefly, wondering if you’d be unnerved to see him looming over you in the dark, indigo irises glinting. but then you’ll resign yourself to deep slumber once again and he’s free to continue counting your heartbeats. he does this every night (or he tries to do it every night). the nights in which you travel are often restless. you’ll stay up late tending to the fire, assembling resources you gathered throughout the day, drying your clothes if you happened to get caught in a rainstorm and couldn’t get to shelter quick enough. scaramouche’s favorite nights are the ones spent in the serenitea pot because there are no outside interruptions. it’s just you and him inside this comfortable slice of space. 

at some point, feeling your heartbeat and knowing of when your dreams are good and bad isn’t enough. he’s heard many stories while traveling alongside you, passing through bustling cities, quaint villages, lively ports, where he happens to eavesdrop on bits and pieces of scattered conversations. he overhears stories of marriage, stories of the miracle that is childbirth, and the grousings of weary sailors, fishermen, and merchants. perhaps these glimpses of human life are what make him think of the future and what such a thing looks like with you by his side. 

scaramouche browses the many books a merchant has to offer and opens one to a random page. it details a mystical kiss that woke someone from eternal slumber. it’s a childish notion—the mere idea that a kiss could hold such power is unbelievably foolish. still, scaramouche finds himself purchasing the book with you in mind. he admires the pretty cover while you haggle prices with a fruit vendor. he’d like to try kissing.

and when he’s certain you’ve fallen asleep and he checks your even heartbeat, he leans in to press his lips against yours. the first few times are merely experimental. you don’t wake like the character in the novel. in fact, you hardly stir. scaramouche feels incredibly let down. the book lied and raised his hopes for nothing. so he kisses your cheek and then your forehead, but neither have the same effect. nothing feels as intimate as lip-on-lip connection. so he kisses you again, awkwardly, sloppily, and when you stir he retreats so fast he kicks himself for acting so silly. 

the next night he kisses you it’s with more confidence. your lips are always so soft and warm. you look so peaceful when he studies your sleeping expression. sometimes your lips are parted; sometimes you drool. sometimes you lay sprawled. sometimes you’re hugging a pillow. despite the many positions you assume, despite whatever you look like while sleeping, he still manages to kiss you. 

and at some point he finds himself growing bolder, falling into a risky habit. he wants to see how far he can go before you wake. so his lips trail down to your neck next, and he presses the softest, sweetest kisses along your pulse, feeling it thrum under his mouth. sometimes his teeth graze your flesh and he considers biting hard enough to leave a lasting mark, but he knows that would certainly wake you. so he rewards your sleeping form with plenty of gentle kisses. he’d never do such a thing if you were awake. you’d certainly think he’s grown soft around you, which is most certainly not true (a grand lie he tells himself, mind you). 

scaramouche wants to kiss your heart next. his fingers work deftly to slide your shirt up, cold hands holding your hips down, and he places his ear against that special space where your heart is enclosed, and he listens to your steady heartbeat. he’ll kiss that place a dozen times, cherishing every beat under a single kiss. and sometimes, without realizing it, his hand will entwine with yours and he’ll spend an hour above you, kissing nearly every inch of you: your heart, your throat, your shoulder, the space between your ribs. 

scaramouche learns rather quickly that your body reacts pleasantly to his lingering touches. and when he learns that your heart rate picks up when his hands wander and his kisses become more intimate and he slides his tongue along the softest spots on your body, he realizes your heart does more than simply pump blood and give life. it provides answers to unspoken questions.

the next time he kisses you it’s on your most private area, and he bullies this area the most with kisses and licks, his hands holding your thighs apart, while he listens to you whimper and whine softly in your sleep. he’s certain your dreams will always be pleasant if he’s constantly touching you every night. scaramouche loves every inch of you, down to the very heart that beats for him. only him. after all, there’s no one else who could possibly elicit such sweet sounds from your pretty, kissable lips. not that there would ever be anyone who could do such things to you. scaramouche won’t allow it. 

the next time he kisses you, your eyes flutter open. scaramouche has finally mastered the kiss that will wake his sleeping sweetheart.

hi mera! what do you think about mc having a wet dream about the octanaville boys, and moaning out his name in their sleep lmao? How would he react?

Thank you sm for all the good food😌😌 hope you're having a great day!! <3

You know how cats' eyes dilate when something is stimulating or exciting or interesting to them? >:) that's Jade. He's looking at you with the sharpest, most focused expression ever and his pupils are so big. He's almost not sure if he heard you at first. Surely he's not delusional. That's more of an Azul thing. He waits in stifling silence in case you say something else, but then the distinct smell of your arousal hits him and he just knows. He's kind enough to let you continue sleeping, but now that the opportunity has cropped up he might as well indulge your body in what it so clearly wants. He will be very gentle and take his sweet time savoring every inch of you. <3

Floyd purposely wakes you up so the two of you can do everything you were doing in your dream in real life. Either you wake up to his mouth on you, sucking marks into your skin or pleasing your most intimate areas, or he just jumps onto the bed so you're jerked awake. You hardly have any time to realize what's going on, having been pulled from your dream so suddenly, and you're trying to get hold of your bearings while slowly waking up. You see Floyd shucking what's left of his sleepwear (a T-shirt and his boxers) and you can already tell you're not getting any more sleep tonight.

Azul takes a moment to celebrate. Of course he heard you; his sense of hearing is immaculate, even more so when there aren't any other noises to drown out your pretty sounds. His tako senses are off the charts right now. He's so happy. He wishes he could record that moment so he could hear it forever, but it's okay because now he knows you reciprocate his feelings. You're just being a little indirect. It's all about body language, right? To think humans knew just how important such a thing is to merfolk... (this is tako delusion). Azul wakes you with kisses and shushes you softly when you panic and squirm. He curls his fingers inside your hole, tells you to relax more and that it's okay; he's here now. Why are you asking foolish things like what are you doing in my room? What you should be asking is can we please make everything in my dream a reality? or something along those lines. :)

what if jade was actually more of a perv than Floyd and Azul combined underneath that (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠) façade

This is exactly how I see him!!!! He's such a freak!!!!!! Even more so than Floyd and Azul. In terms of shamelessness, I like to imagine Jade is at the very top spot. He's just so,,,, depraved. The type of man to shamelessly sport an erection while you're lecturing him about how annoying he is or something degrading like that, and he just stands there like (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) and waits for you to notice LOL. I also just think things like erections in human form aren't something embarrassing for Jade and, by that extension, Floyd because it's something they aren't used to dealing with in mer form and they just don't understand why it's such a big deal if people see because, as Floyd will note, "everyone's got junk, so who cares?" Azul gets flustered over things like that because 1) he's easy to fluster and 2) he wants to actually blend in with human society and not be labeled a pervert right away like a certain pair of eels. ^^;;;

Part of me wants to push the Jade is a feet guy agenda because his dorm groovy is so,,,,, T_T but then I feel like that makes sense for Jade to be the one with the foot/leg fetish??? He's spent all of his life playing the "normal" twin or the "responsible" twin because that's how he was always told apart from Floyd. He's much too calculated to just let loose like Floyd does and he has an image to uphold, so he probably just masks all of his perverted behaviors so well you'll never know. But then he does things like offering to shine your shoes or tie your laces or something silly like that and he's hopelessly hard the entire time. You can't even kick him in his dick because there's a 100% chance he'll just enjoy it. T_T you tell him to go die and he's fanning himself like wooooo teehee :3c it's suddenly so hot in here...

Jade knows exactly what he's doing. He is so down bad for you, too. You could tell him you'll die before you ever go out with him and he just becomes even more invested in playing this long, impossible game of waiting. I like to think he gets creative and humorous with his attempts at flirting. Maybe this makes him look a little pathetic, but is that not part of his charms? That, or it's just another artfully crafted façade meant to hide a much more coy demeanor.

He has a list of things he wants to accomplish with you and within the top five is probably a footjob. You kicked him in his ankles after he showed you the list (complete with a handwritten note asking you if you'd help him study anatomy later), and he had to excuse himself to the bathroom to deal with personal issues. :) your violence is just more fuel for his fantasies.

To celebrate Rollo's card release, do you happen to have any "Sinful" headcanons about him? 👉👈

Yes!!! :D I have many sinful thoughts to share!

✧ he's an underwear thief. <3 steals your undergarments and presses them up to his nose or wraps them around his dick when he's masturbating. he's amassed quite the collection. meanwhile you think your laundry just keeps running off and getting lost in the wash.

✧ i wholeheartedly think he reads (and maybe even writes) erotica and imagines you in the scenes.

✧ "ew, the magic pussy pocket is a vile thing." (and then he proceeds to use it on a nightly basis. it's the only magical item he can make an exception for LOL)

✧ one of his hobbies is cleaning, so i like to imagine he enjoys giving you baths (which have the most sexual tension ever) or bathing with you. but then if you're a disorganized person, he likes being able to offer to help you organize your space because it gives him an opportunity to peek into your more intimate possessions (he finds your lingerie/sex toy drawer surprisingly fast).

✧ somnophilia.........

✧ he gets flustered at the slightest showing of skin. orz

✧ i feel like he'd be self-conscious about his dick size when he realizes malleus has two. T_T so he strives to make up for that each time he fucks you. do not ever utter that dragon prince's name when you and rollo are in bed. >:( he'll fuck you so good you'll forget all about malleus.

✧ there's the victorian ideal of "sex without the intent to reproduce is a sin," so!!!!!! creampies every night regardless of whether you can conceive or not!!!! <3

✧ i think he would be into period sex. yes, he can't stand messes and he loves cleaning, but there's something so primal in it. also i just like the idea of rollo deluding himself into thinking you're a virgin when he fucks you when you're bleeding. you're only allowed to be defiled by him. <3 no one else can take your virginity over and over like he does. he is so delusional. i need him.

✧ he might be into semi-public sex,,,, i think it's like a gateway drug for him. one time you gave him head in the student council meeting room minutes before a meeting or you gave him a handjob in one of noble bell's many empty, dark halls and since then he's never looked back. rollo would've scolded you to hell and back if it weren't for the fact that the thrill was so intoxicating. the idea of being found out, of being known as a filthy pervert, is as socially and morally unsettling as it is delicious.

✧ he's a big fan of cockwarming!!!! >:)

Azul has amazing strength because of his non-human nature. I imagine when he's making love to his darling, he's thrusting so hard that the headboard/bed is slamming against the wall. The worst thing about it, the tweels will be able to hear it and make fun of them after. 🫣 (Especially if the bed breaks.)

OMG YES… 😵‍💫 this happens the very first time the two of you have sex. He’s just so excited (a little nervous, but he’s determined to be a good, satisfying bed partner) and so shortly after he’s slotted himself inside he loses sight of the goal of being a sweet, gentle lover and just goes crazy pounding you into the sheets. >_< he’s waited so long for this moment; he’s desperate to hear more of your moans, feel you tighten around him, have you dig your nails into his shoulder, cum a dozen times inside in various positions. Pathetic tako is so swept up in the exhilaration of sex that he doesn’t even realize he broke the bed until much later when the bed is sitting at an awkward angle. ;;;; he’s flustered for all of a few moments until he realizes there’s a certain level of pride to be felt, knowing he fucked you so good he quite literally broke the bed. >:)

The twins don’t give him a break regarding it, though. They tease him about it all the time just to watch him fluster and insist that it was all part of some elaborate plan to get a new bed frame because he was due for one anyway. Likely story, tako. (≖_≖ ) anyone within the same vicinity as Azul’s room would hear if not for Azul’s clever foresight to cast a soundproofing spell so only he’s granted the pleasure of hearing his darling. <3 although the twins can certainly imagine how you sound if they’ve fucked you before.

I like to imagine Azul and Jade have both broken bed frames before Floyd has LOL. Jade has to let that feral energy out somehow because he’s always holding it in to keep up appearances (he horny grips in secret silence), and Azul is just pathetic and always so desperate to please you (and himself). Floyd just hasn’t had the chance to fuck you roughly in a bed yet because he’s fucking you everywhere else. But when the two of you do fuck in bed, I imagine it’s softer and sweeter, especially if it’s in the morning when the both of you are still just waking up.

*slides in* pspspsps in one of Belphie's devilgram (You Make Me Warm All Over) MC woke up in the middle of the night just to found Belphie had crawled into their bed and had been sleeping right next to them, for "warmth" 😳 so somnophiloa Belphie might not be too far fetched muahahaha

AAAAAAAAA OTL OTL for "warmth" but it's really just so he can warm his dick. Any character associated with sleep in any shape or form (all of Diasomnia, but especially Malleus, Belphie, and perhaps even Scaramouche when he's able to appear in Haypasia's dreams as a vision during his brief era as a god) automatically becomes perfect potential for somno. <3 Belphie being the avatar of sloth who sleeps often,,,,, it writes itself hehe. >:3c and if you woke up during it he'd just shush you back to sleep or stuff your face in the pillows to quiet all of your protests.

Omg and imagine if it became a nightly thing and after a certain time your body is just trained to react to him and his touch. >:D Belphie conditioning you when you're asleep,,,,, orz he can share you with Beel, but everyone else is a no-go. But then you won't need them when you're already so finely tuned to him and his habits. :)

[merakiui]

omg, dacryphillia with Azul like mentioned in your last post please, please, please, I need it-

>:) imagine wringing so many orgasms out of him that he can't cum anymore and he's sobbing because he's so exhausted and overstimulated, tears streaking down his cheeks in fat, salty globs. His makeup is an absolute mess, all smeared and smudged, and there's ink dribbling from his lips because at some point you made him ink with your ministrations. <3 you're telling him he can cum one more time, right? He's a good boy, right? He's your perfect, pretty, crybaby Azul, right? Just once more and then you'll kiss his tears away and let him fuck you if he's still feeling it.

Azul is so convinced he's an ugly crier because he hiccups and heaves and gets so snotty and whines and whimpers like the world is ending, so he always tries to avoid breaking down in his daily life no matter how tough things get. But then you get your hands on him and he's reduced to a squishy, crybaby octopus and he hates it because he doesn't want to be that, but you're mixing sweetness in with the bitter and it feels good. Yes, he's a crybaby, but he's your crybaby. Your cute, handsome, lovely crybaby octopus who's cumming dry and drooling ink and saliva; and his eyes keep rolling back up into his head and he's arching his back on the mattress, his fingers curling into the sheets. You send him to heaven every time you do this, and he's so addicted to you and your voice and the feeling of your hands and mouth wrapped around his poor weeping cock. :(

You take everything he's worked so hard to become: the untouchable, charismatic, silver-tongued businessman; and you reduce him to something pathetic and weak and blubbery with just a few skillful touches and kisses. But, oddly enough, he doesn't mind it. Because when he gets like this, you still love him and you always shower him with affection before, during, and after. He's so hooked on all of these feelings you give him, and the feeling of your tongue lapping up his tears is a heady ecstasy he's fallen for.

If you ever leave him, he'll cry an ocean and then you'll really have no choice but to drown in him.
