the manuscript ending the album on the utter jawdrop moment that neither of the muses of the actual album were the first men to fuck her up with promises of marriage and babies, and that first heartbreak so long ago laid the scene for the woman she would become and the ways she would approach love and how we all watched her life like scenes in a show but she kept coming back to the manuscript of the first torrid affair that ruined her, to bookend an album about two love affairs that destroyed her utterly in almost the exact same way, because all her muses are acquired like bruises........ it's bone-chilling

[burningcheese-merchant]

No, Merchant, feel free to complain to your hearts content. I'm certainly much meaner to ugly blue alastoroncelerbillcipherspamton from temu and every last inch of his undeserved popularity. I seethe because as an Ovenbreak player of SEVEN YEARS, none of my faves get remembered in a tweet, let alone merchandise. The dragons, who all took over five years to collectively come out, got a pin set and devsis wiped their asses with them then moved on. I waited over a YEAR for another sugar nova odyssey update to come out because xylitol nova and astronaut are my favorite cookies ever and I'm still fucking waiting 🫠 meanwhile the beasts are getting shat out every 3 months with the most rushed nonsensical recycled plotlines held together with scotch tape because making profit is what really matters here, not competent storytelling. I wouldn't even be this furious if the beasts got equal attention and spotlight but we both know that's not true hahaha 😬 they love to shove their (really badly designed) golden cow in our faces because Smilk was lab engineered to get sexyman tumblr girlies screaming their heads off while not even being 1/4th the interesting character they want you desperately think he is. JUSTICE for burning spice, mystic flour, and everyone else who will get done dirty for this boring walmart Jevil 😒

Oh my gosh 🤣🤣🤣 tell us how you REALLY feel, Anon, let it all out. It's not healthy to bottle up your emotions like that (you might want to stay anonymous though, I don't think either of us want an angry mob at your doorstep lol)

I'm anticipating a ramble (as I am wont to do) so under the cut it goes

Gonna start by saying I DO like Shadow Milk. I really do. It took me a little while for him to grow on me when he first appeared, admittedly (ESPECIALLY his voice...), but I am genuinely fond of the little blue jester man. But he's certainly not my favorite, far from it. That title belongs to Burning Spice and Burning Spice alone lol. The only reason I ever turned the English audio back on (I usually play the game in Japanese, I love hearing my fave anime characters speak lol) was so I could hear that gorgeous baritone of his... Burning Spice is everything to me. I love his design, I love his voice, I love his dialogue, I love his personality, I love him soooooo much. He's my babygirl. If Silent Salt turns out anything like the character I've constructed inside of my head, then he will share the #1 spot with Spice. I'll go ahead and say that right away

I'm upset because, like you said, it feels like he got majorly shafted while Shadow Milk gets all the praise and attention. Mystic Flour as well, poor girl, but I'm focusing on Spice just to drive the point home a bit better. He didn't even get a fucking countdown. What was his little merch thing? That weird ass candle (I thought it was a vase at first lol) and that's it. Furthermore, his story feels the least developed. There was and is SO MUCH that could have been said about him as a person as well as his dynamic/connection with Golden Cheese, that wasn't for whatever reason. Episodes 5 and 6 feel like they're missing something (and you feel what the "something" is in that brief flashback to Spice's past. There's more to what became of him than "I was bored", there HAS to be. Boredom is a symptom, not the cause. I maintain that this theory of mine has merit, and it would've been nice if they dove deeper into it than they did), you know? And I hate it. I hate that Spice is basically the forgotten middle child of the Beasts while Shadow Milk gets all the glory. Seriously, for Shadow Milk:

They changed their YT avatar to him for a while (it has ALWAYS been Gingerbrave, they never changed it once to anyone else all these years). iirc they did this on Twitter too

They dedicate an HOUR LONG commentary video to episode 7 and Shadow Milk (arguably fair, because it WAS the 4th anniversary. But even so. Did they do this for any other Beast? Any other episode? Any other anniversary?)

They give him a costume (a legendary one, at that) plus a set with his Ancient. NO OTHER Beast/Ancient pair has that, and I struggle to imagine they ever will. Do you understand what I would do to have a BS/GC costume set? DO YOU???

They make an exclusive, limited edition plushie (that caused a massive shitstorm iirc, justice for everyone that got fucked over during that and fuck scalpers)

They make a whole ass pop-up store event themed entirely around Shadow Milk and episodes 7 and 8

Why? Because he's the fan favorite lol. He's long since been the golden child of this community, and now we know he's Devsisters' golden child, too. (And they're desperate for money because they're drowning in debt. That's also probably why they released Shadow Milk on the 3rd anniversary: to drum up interest on a milestone anniversary by bringing in a beloved character. Thematically/narratively, Shadow Milk should've been released last. But that's just my opinion.)

Again, I really do like Shadow Milk. I call him "Walmart Bill Cipher" affectionately (and because he genuinely does remind me of Bill. In fact, I think Bill might've inspired SM to some degree). But it's unfortunate that other characters, the other Beasts especially, are pushed aside and ignored just so Shadow Milk can hog all the spotlight. It is with a very intense grimace that I agree that Shadow Milk is a Tumble sexyman. He fits the stereotype to a T. It would serve us all well to accept that truth. He even got added to the Tumblr sexyman wiki before it turned to flour lol. Burning Spice is... NOT a Tumblr sexyman. He is a regular old hunk. Tumblr was never in the business of liking big, beefy hunks, at least not the Tumblr I knew 10 years ago lol.

I'm also, to reference it again, just really disappointed that so little was and is done to explore the other Beast/Ancient pairs - and the fandom is guilty of this, too (not to knock the PV/SM anaylses at all! They're all fantastic and I genuinely do understand and love the deep, complex connection between them!). To go back to BS and GC, because they're my lifeblood (not just for shipping reasons I swear)... it's particularly egregious to me that THEIR dynamic wasn't given the attention and detail it deserves. They are LIFE AND DEATH, the very foundation of the world itself, things I (personally) consider significantly more important than truth and deceit because it is from life and death that all else springs forth. Truth and deceit are things you actively look for; life (abundance) and death (destruction) are just there, everywhere you look, even within yourself. You can close your eyes, ears, heart to the truth and you can learn to shun, decipher, defend against deceit; there is no escape from life nor death. None whatsoever. And so much can be done with that. So much can be done with them. Burning Spice and Golden Cheese need each other in the exact same way that Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla need each other. They parallel each other quite a bit, too. They're so similar and so different. They could have and SHOULD HAVE had so much to say to and about each other, like what Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla have. But that didn't happen. Didn't happen with Dark Cacao and Mystic Flour, either. All of that love and care and philosophical exploration goes to the clown and the Jesus Christ allegory. Which is FINE, I'm not saying to leave those two hanging, just... show some of that love to the beefcake and the bird, too. And Korean Batman (Cacao reminds me of Batman, I'm sorry 🤣) and Ms. Angel of Death, too. Please, man. Truth and Deceit aren't the only dichotomy that matters and is worthy of thought and discussion

(and oh my God, dude. The Ovenbreak shit. I've been playing for as long as you, and that shit is diabolical at this point. We get ONE dragon update a year, and they always leave us on the most painful cliffhanger of all time each time. (And this last one... I have many issues, but the most glaring one of all: WHERE THE FUCK IS FIRE SPIRIT??? WHY ISN'T HE IN THE STORY??? HE IS INTRINSICALLY LINKED TO PITAYA DRAGON! THEY HAVE AN UNBREAKABLE BOND BECAUSE OF THEIR DEAL THAT GRANTED HIM SOME OF PITAYA'S POWER AND SAVED HIS LIFE! HE SHOULD BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS ARC! HE SHOULD BE AT THE FOREFRONT! IF PITAYA GETS HURT, HE GETS HURT! FIRE SPIRIT'S WELL-BEING IS DIRECTLY TIED TO PITAYA'S AND THE DRAGON'S VALLEY AND BOTH ARE IN SERIOUS JEOPARDY!!! Oh God I can scream about this for so long. I have a similar issue with the Red Dragon arc in CRK, WHY WASN'T FIRE SPIRIT THERE?) I LOVE the dragons, I love their relationship with each other, I love the conflict between them, even the unique bonds/quarrels between specific ones! And their storyline is picked up and dropped over and over again, left to collect dust until they feel like continuing the story. Hell, remember Gingerbrave and co.'s quest to find where that wizard compass is pointing, and to find a place for them to build a peaceful life away from the Witches? Me neither lol. Sea Fairy's great sacrifice with Sugarteara and the cursed pearl? (SF was done SO dirty in Kingdom, she's an actual character in OB and in CRK all she cares about is Moonlight, to the point that she lets an entire civilization fall to ruin because she refuses to do her fucking job) The Xylitol gang... Well, as of writing this, that's the next update... Which will give us another legendary cookie, hardly 3 months after Dreamweaver lol. Fuck Stevia Nova, I already don't give a damn. Give me more Xylitol Nova and Astronaut and that's it

I have a lot more to say (especially about BS and GC, God I could talk about them FOREVER, they're so interesting to me), but I think I've rambled enough lol. All the love for Shadow Milk, truly, but all the love and justice for Burning Spice and the other Beasts and every other character that gets ignored, too

Bruce does a thing where he takes a picture of any Robin he finds in Gotham, which usually happens when it’s not grating time because Robins, or any birds except pigeons really, call Gotham their home, so for winter he takes a picture and sends it to them, sometimes with a “dis you?” But more often than not something like “missing you.” Or even “most robins fly home for the winter.” And his kids treasure it so much, even Jason, to the point where they have a group chat (the robins gc, dick, Jason, Tim, and Steph because they’re the ones who have flown the nest and no longer live there mostly) and they use it solely for the purpose of sending that first text, like spotting the first flower of spring except it’s the first robin picture of winter, being like “ha! I got the text first this year!” And then they all send their separate messages as screenshots and make plans to all head to the manor together and yeah. Just fun little fluff. 

(And ignore the fact that robins do/don’t migrate I did absolutely no research so if they actually don’t migrate just… shhhh)

The next morning, you wake up alone in Katsuki’s bed to the savoury scent of fried salmon. After freshening up, you skip into the kitchen. If the lapping tongues of that delicious smell weren’t enough, Katsuki’s standing over the stove, flipping the salmon. Your mouth waters seeing his ripped muscles through the sleeveless compression shirt he’s wearing.

You tiptoe up behind him and poke his solid bicep, earning you a glare and a growl before your angry blond realises it’s just you. He grumbles about not sneaking up on him as you giggle and hug him from behind, telling him you missed waking up with him this morning.

You press your cheek against the rippling contours of his back, sighing and moulding to his figure. You hum happily as you feel his muscles flex and relax beneath your touch with his movements. He grunts at you to get off him, but you shake your head and press your forehead between his shoulder blades.

Sighing, your alpha drags you back and forth across the kitchen, your arms firm around his torso. He’s all grumpy about your affection, chastising you for being so cuddly and slowing him down. You tune out his complaining, content to hold him.

Finally, you ease your hold on him, your hands coming to rest on his slutty hips. You shift to the side and look at him as he plates the salmon and pours the miso soup into bowls.

“Katsuki,” you whine.

He grunts, “What?”

You latch onto his forearm and tug on it playfully, saying in a sing-song voice, “I wanna build a nest, Suki!” Your alpha’s crimson eyes widen as he stares down at you.

He mutters, “You what?”

You tug on his forearm again as you repeat, “I wanna build a nest, Suki!” He licks his suddenly dry lips and places the empty soup pot on the stove.

“Just…” He starts. He turns away from you, red snaking up the back of his neck as he grabs the plates and bowls. You pick up the remaining few and help him carry them to the kitchen table.

“Suki,” you whine. “Will you come see my nest once it’s finished?” You gaze up at him with puppy eyes and a sweet grin, hoping he’ll say “Yes”.

Katsuki avoids looking at you and grunts out, “Sure.”

After breakfast, you go to each of your alpha’s rooms to grab some clothes for your nest. Eijiro loads up your arms with his hoodies and shirts when you tell him you’re going to build a nest; Hanta warns you not to take from the pile of dirty clothes on the floor; Denki gives you a few (fairly clean) graphic tees and sweaters; and Katsuki grumbles about having to share his wardrobe before sending you back to your room empty-handed. Instead, he dumps a pile of all your favourite clothes of his on your bed.

You spend most of the day building your nest, then taking it apart and re-arranging it until you’re happy with it. Late in the afternoon, you slip out of your room and chow down some of last night’s leftovers. Only Hanta is home, so he gets to see your nest first.

You knock on his door and slide it open, finding him mid-video game. He doesn’t notice you come in, too focused on yelling his frustrations into his headset. You come up beside him and tap his shoulder. Feeling your touch, he gives you his immediate attention.

After pausing his game, you take his hand and lead him to your room. Opening the door, your sweet scent flows out in waves. It’s so overpowering that Hanta’s feet are bound to their place on the wooden floor. With a tug of his arm, you guide him inside to your nest.

It’s large enough for all four of you to fit and arranged by scents. The right corner closest to you is Hanta’s section. You step into your nest and pull him in with you. He looks around your nest with wide eyes. When you sit down in his part, he looks down at you and chuckles nervously.

You pout, “Do you like it?” He hums and sits down with you. He wraps his arm around your shoulders and presses you into his side. The feeling of his body against yours makes you purr in contentment.

He softly kisses the top of your head and says, “Love it, babe. You did a really good job.” You hum and nuzzle your face into the crook of his neck. Your purr ignites his own as you two hold each other. The vibrations from your chests dissolve the tension in Hanta’s shoulders and jaw. They help him relax and make you feel safe in his arms. You two stay like that until a knock at your door makes you sit up, alert.

Your purring stops and your eyes are wide as you stare at the intruder. You exhale a sigh of relief as you see it’s just Denki.

Your sunshine boy rubs the back of his neck, stuttering, “Uh, a-am I interrupting something?” As you say “No”, Hanta says “Yes”. You gaze at your black-haired alpha for a moment and laugh cheerily before motioning for your blond to join you. Denki comes to the edge of your nest and looks at it with his mouth half-open, the corners of his lips upturned.

You ask, “D’you like it, babe?”

He says nervously, “Y-yea, honey, it looks really good.” You hum as your brows furrow. You stand up and come over to him, your bodies separated by the low barrier of your nest. You cup his cheeks and draw his forehead down to yours. As you touch, it’s like electricity pulses through you.

You murmur, “Why’re you so nervous?” He chuckles shortly, his breath fanning your lips. His long fingers wrap around your wrists and squeeze them gently.

“You’re so cool, mama,” he says lowly. You giggle and gently kiss his lips. Your hands slide down his neck and grip his shoulders. As you pull back, you tug him into your nest. You sit back down next to Hanta and watch as Denki’s golden eyes trail across the different parts of your nest.

Smiling, you pull gently on the leg of his pants, encouraging him to join you. He sits in his area next to Hanta’s at the front. You shift to the invisible boundary separating the two zones and look at your alphas expectantly.

Hanta chuckles and wraps his arms back around your shoulders. You gaze at Denki, who stares at the two of you. You pat your lap, and he giggles, laying down with the side of his head on your thighs, hands stroking your legs.

You pout and tell Denki to behave, but he nibbles on your inner thigh. As your flesh rolls out from his teeth, he kisses the little red spot tenderly, making you gasp.

Not long after Denki joined you and Hanta, Eijiro comes home and finds you all cuddling.

Stepping into your room, he gasps and exclaims, “Wow baby, this looks great!”

You giggle and tell him to get in. He leaves his slippers at the door and steps over Denki’s legs, acquainting himself with the layout of your nest.

Your redhead praises you, “You did such a good job, baby. It looks really good.” You hum and purr as he finds his corner and strokes your back. You tilt your head back to look up into his eyes. He pecks your lips and continues rubbing your back while Hanta rests his head on yours. You giggle gleefully, ecstatic to share your nest with your alphas.

For the next little while, you all chat away. The sun has dipped low in the sky, its final embers floating through the window. Shadows lurk in the shallows of your room and the dips and curves of your bodies. You’re lying across Eijiro and Denki’s laps when the overhead lights flick on. You wince and groan, blinking your eyes rapidly to adjust to the warm lighting. Gazing at the door, your angry blond has his arms folded across his chest, scowling as he stares you down.

You giggle, “Hi Sukiiii. D’you wanna join us?”

He scoffs, “It’s eight o’clock. Have you made dinner?” You shake your head. Eijiro chuckles, and the comforting sound draws your eyes up to his sharp jawline.

Your redhead says, “You can take my spot. I’ll work on dinner.” His offer makes you pout.

“But Eiji,” you whine. You sit up and throw your arms around his shoulders, burying your face in his neck and breathing in his musk. You can feel his laughter in his chest reverberating against yours. Your redhead nudges you, causing you to pull back and look at him. He reassures you that you’ll be okay before setting you down and getting up. You watch with pouty lips as he leaves your room.

Tch. Katsuki comes over to the edge of your nest, gazing at you sharply. You nod and pat the space behind you; his corner. Grumbling, your alpha steps in and eyes the other two. You can almost see his gears turning as he looks around your nest, his nose wrinkling in the cutest way (like a bunny) as he sifts through the different scents. At last, your angry blond finds his corner and sits down a short distance away.

You squeal in excitement and surprise as Denki’s lean arms encircle your waist, lift you, and place you in his lap. The warmth of his chest seeps through his shirt and into your back. You sigh and relax into his touch before tilting your head back and pecking his jaw.

Hanta complains, “Hey! Leave some for me, too.” He shuffles over to you two and sits on his haunches in front of you. His large hands grasp your knees and squeeze them, making you giggle. You reach out and caress his forearms, your hands travelling up and over his elbows and upper arms as he leans forward. His hands slide up your thighs, slightly pushing up your micro-shorts. Those long digits press into your hips as Hanta’s lips press to yours. You moan into his mouth as you grip his shoulders.

You mewl as you feel Denki’s hand slip from your waist down to the waistband of your shorts. You squeeze his forearm as you whine, Hanta’s spit spilling over the confines of your lips and onto your chin. Denki’s hand dips and cups your heat, his fingertips pressing into the growing wet patch on your panties. You pull back from Hanta’s consuming kiss and whine as you gaze back at Denki.

“Kami,” you whine breathlessly. Denki’s eyes widen at your nickname for him, and his heart misses a beat or two. He chuckles nervously as he wipes the saliva from your lips and chin.

You continue, “Don’t make this harder f’me.” His brow creases as he thinks over your words, his devious hand shifting up to cup your lower tummy while his nose nuzzles your shoulder. He hums and trails his hand back up to your waist, giving the fat there a squeeze. You gently kiss his temple before resting your head against his.

The room is quiet for a few minutes before you wriggle in Denki’s arms and say, “I better go help Eiji with dinner.” Hanta and Denki immediately protest, claiming that their omega shouldn’t lift a finger while in pre-heat. Such earns a laugh from you as they scamper off to the kitchen, determined to make dinner so you don’t have to.

Katsuki grumbles low, “Finally.” You gaze at him, your head tilted adorably in confusion. “We’re alone,” he grunts. You hum and crawl over to him. His eyes take in your frame hungrily as you reach him. Your hands come to his shoulders and press them back.

“What d’you want?” He mutters. You push his unmoving shoulders back with more force and climb on his lap.

“I wanna lay down with you,” you say, grinning. Your alpha grumbles as he draws you into his arms, laying back with your body on his. Your arms wrap around his neck while your side presses against his pecs. Katsuki grabs one of the blankets strewn about your nest and drapes it over the two of you, keeping you nice and cosy. You sigh and purr, and he does the same, a rare soft look on his face as he stares at you.

You two cuddle until the boys peek in and let you know that dinner is ready.

…⊹₊⟡⋆…

By the end of the week, you’re restless. Katsuki has been avoiding you for days, worsening your pre-heat. And this morning after breakfast, you feel it fully hit you.

You’re stalking down the hall to your angry blond’s room when your temperature soars. You stop, swooning and holding onto the nearby wall to steady yourself. The air has been knocked out of your lungs. Your skin is alight, crackling, aching, and burning like a chicken in a fan-forced oven. His scent lingers in the air. It’s so delicious that you could lick it off your fingers. Just inhaling such sweet-smokiness has you sliding down the wall.

You’re a crumpled mess on the floor as you look around the hallway with wide eyes, searching for any sign of the man you’re so desperate for. Somehow, you find the will to stand back up, albeit with shaky knees. You stumble down the hall and latch onto Katsuki’s door. You pry it open in a fit and find his room empty. The pure concentration of his scent is enough to have your head spinning. You whine as you fumble the door shut, sniffing the air like a dog.

You catch his musk further down the hall and follow it to an ajar door. You slip in, oblivious to the sound of running water. Before you: a sight that could have you on your knees, begging for the sweetest mercy. You take a deep breath in, instantly regretting it as Katsuki’s scent sears your lungs.

The golden sunlight filters into the room, illuminating your alpha sitting in the hot tub with his arms spread out on the edges and eyes closed. He looks so peaceful… and bare. You drool as your gaze dips to the fuzzy skin beneath the bubbling water’s surface. You just stand there, glued to your spot near the door, staring at him. Your head throbs the longer your eyes linger on him, and the steam from the tub doesn’t help.

You stutter, “S-suki.” You lick your lips as his eyes snap open, finding you immediately. Your throat goes dry at the angry look he gives you. But there’s something else in his gaze. A kind of hunger. Something carnal. Something you’ve come to know well. His full lips harden as that familiar crease in his brow returns.

“WHAT?” He grunts. You can’t stop your feet from moving as they step towards him. Your breathing has become so laboured, and everything but him blurs. All you can focus on is your alpha. Your knee hits the side of the tub, causing you to stumble and reach out, grabbing the edge to steady yourself.

“THE FUCK DO YOU WANT, BRAT?!” He yells at you. You whine his name for you as you shakily push yourself back up to standing.

“DON’T COME NEAR ME!” Your alpha bellows as he shifts away from you. You can feel tears prickle at your eyes, seeing his zealous attempts to avoid you.

“Suki I just,” you start but you wobble and fall forward. Luckily, you catch yourself on the side of the tub again. You whine as you sit down on the edge, feeling your sticky panties shift and press uncomfortably to your cunt.

You whisper whilst looking at your lap, “I miss you.” You can feel the sadness swelling in your throat as the tears spill over.

Your voice shakes as you say, “P-please d-don’t push m-me aw-away.” You choke on your sobs while wiping your eyes on your inner forearm.

For the next few, you sit there and cry. This heat has your emotions everywhere. And your alpha’s blatant rejection is intensifying it. You’re overcome by this odd mix of pain and need, sadness and arousal. Slick oozes from your pussy while tears flood your eyes. You don’t register the lapping of the water as Katsuki shifts back to his original spot.

He grumbles, “Stop crying for fuck’s sake. Just get the fuck outta ‘ere.” You shake your head vigorously, face still in your hands.

You choke out, “N-no! I l-love you, S-Suki.” Your alpha’s jaw slackens as he stares at your shuddering, sobbing frame. Those crimson eyes drill holes into you while your words repeat in his mind.

You look up from your hands and return Katsuki’s gaze. You can barely see him with all of these tears in your eyes. His figure is cloudy and muddled until you blink them away, thick streams staining your cheeks like silvery snail trails. You force yourself to stand back up. You grab the hem of your alpha’s muscle tee and pull it over your head.

Katsuki groans as he stares at your half-naked frame, “Don’t take your clothes off, fuckin’ hell. I TOLD YOU TO GO.” You shake your head, sniffling as you bend and slip your shorts off. All that’s left now is your panties.

As your fingers wrap around the lacy fabric, your alpha yells, “GET THE FUCK OUTTA ‘ERE BRAT UNLESS YOU WANNA GET FUCKED!” You pull your panties down your legs and step over them, stumbling over to the hot tub.

Gripping the edge, you whine, “Of course, that’s what I want.” You manage to get one leg over the edge but trip on the second. Katsuki catches you with ease, his strong, scarred arms wrapped around your shaking frame as he sits you two down.

You moan in his grip and throw your arms around his neck, climbing onto his lap. You gasp as his hard cock presses against your slicked-up cunt. Your wide eyes find his narrowed ones while his wet palms caress your cheeks, wiping away your tears.

The water is so warm. You feel like you’re being boiled alive with the way it slaps against your sweaty skin.

Sniffling, you choke out, “I-I’ve been wa-wanting you-you a-all week.” You lean down and press your salty lips to his, moaning as his large hand grips the back of your neck and angles you just the way he likes it.

You’re consumed by his kiss, by the feeling of his solid chest against your much softer one. His teeth bite on your lower lip, making you gasp before he sucks on it. Moans fall from your mouth as he bullies his tongue in, swirling it with yours. Saliva drips from your lips by the time he pulls back.

He groans low, “I know. I’ve been wanting you too, love.” Again, you’re caught in his rough kiss and crushing hold. He squeezes you so tight it’s like you’re about to disappear while he sucks on your tongue.

Once your lips are swollen enough, Katsuki trails kisses and harsh bites down your neck and collarbones. He’s so fucking mean with the harsh purple bruises he leaves on your skin. No spot is safe from his assault. Not even the fat of your tits is safe from his sharp canines. You cry out as he nips on the delicate flesh, rolling the skin between his teeth. You tug at his roots, pulling him off your breast.

You stutter, “It h-hurts, Suki.”

He growls, “Deal with it, you fuckin’ slut.” You moan hearing his words while arousal drips from your hole onto his cock.

He chuckles into your skin, “You like that? ‘Course you do, brat.” He kisses down the valley of your breasts before kissing each one tenderly. You moan as he latches onto your nipple. His mouth is as hot as you are. You whine as his tongue rolls over the sensitive peak.

The mewls escaping your lips become louder as he sucks harder. He pulls off your nipple, a string of spit connecting his lips to your delicate nub. It snaps as he gazes down briefly, gripping your waist harshly.

Katsuki lifts you off him and places you next to him. He stands up and wraps his arms around you.

He grunts as he manhandles you, “Bend over for me, you little slut. Just like that, good girl.” You whimper as Katsuki bends you over the side of the hot tub. Your chest is pressed flat against the extended side, and you shiver as the cold air gnaws on your flushed skin. You’re so exposed, everything on display for your alpha in this position.

You whine his name as his palm makes contact with your ass cheek. Slap!

You whimper, “What was that for?” You squeal as he slaps your ass again, harder this time.

He chuckles derisively, “Felt like it, doll.” He grips your hips and pushes you forward, grunting, “Let’s have a look, baby. What do we have ‘ere?” You shiver, feeling his hot breath against your sopping cunt. Slick dribbles from your folds, leaking down your inner thighs. His palms grip underneath your ass cheeks, thumbs spreading them apart so he can get a better look at you. You moan loudly as he spits on your pussy.

No warning, his tongue dips between your folds. You lurch forward, gasping and mewling at how fucking good his searing tongue feelings on your heat. Katsuki grabs the tops of your thighs and brings you back to his eager mouth. He laps at your sweet syrup like it’s the nectar of the gods (because to him, it is). You shudder and moan as the tip of his tongue flicks the underside of your clit.

You mewl, “Fuck, Suki! ‘M sensitive there—Fuck!” His fingers pull your slimy folds apart while his lips wrap around your clit. He sucks on the sensitive bundle, making you whine his name. Your thighs shake as he does the most unholy things to your pussy with his mouth and fingers. You swear you’re in heaven with the way he sends pleasure shuddering up your body, tearing the filthiest moans from you.

“God, you’re so fuckin’ soaked for me, eh?” He grunts while smacking your ass. The ripple of your fat makes you moan loudly. Katsuki doesn’t give you any time to adjust when he plunges two fingers into your hole, fucking you hard and deep with them. You push yourself up slightly, but your alpha doesn’t like that. His large palm presses your upper back down and holds you there while he fingers you.

He chuckles, “Not even on my cock yet n’ you’re this loud? Such a good slut for me, aren’t cha?” You moan louder as more slick gushes from your pussy, dripping down his already-soaked fingers. He draws them out of you and holds them up to a beam of light to see your sticky juices glimmering.

Smirking, your alpha’s hand slides from your upper back to your shoulder and semi-pulls you up while his slick-soaked fingers force themselves into your mouth. You gag on his long digits as they hit the back of your throat.

He groans, “Taste it, omega.” Your hand grasps his wrist as you suck on his fingers, bobbing your head much to his satisfaction. At last, he pulls them out of your mouth and rests his fingertips on your pouty lips.

You whisper, “Baby, please.” Katsuki wrenches you up to standing and presses you into him. You moan as his leaky cock hits your lower back. One of your hands grabs his toned thigh while the other holds his forearm. You tilt your head back to gaze up at your alpha. His mouth is instantly on yours again, stealing what little air you have left in your lungs.

Pulling back, he groans, “What? Tell me what you want, omega.” His hand slides to your jaw, long fingers pressing hard into the soft flesh and bone. He anchors your head back further, making your back arch.

He says on your lips, “Tell me what you fucking want, pretty girl.” The pressure of his hold makes your lips pout like a fish.

You whine, “You, Suki! You!”

He laughs bitterly, “Obviously.” He squishes your cheeks even more while his other hand dips between your thighs. His fingers circle your clit, making you moan.

Your words are muffled as you say, “Please! Please, Suki. Fuck me.” He lets go of your jaw and grabs your tit.

Squeezing it, he grunts, “What was that, slut?”

You mewl, “Please fuck me, Suki!” Your alpha palms your heat as the other strokes his painful erection. You moan so fucking loudly as he slaps the tip against your hole. You plead for him to put it in you, to fuck you, but he ignores you.

Instead, Katsuki pushes his cock through your folds and draws it back, over and over again. His pre-cum intertwines with your slick and his length spreads it all over your drippy cunt.

You’re close to tears as you cry out, “Please, Suki! Please! Please, fuck me! Please! I’ll take it, baby, I promise. Just please—” You scream as he forces his cock into your hole and drives it all the way, giving you no time to stretch.

Tears well in your eyes as he hooks his arm around yours, forcing them behind your back and thrusting into you mercilessly. You’re a whimpering mess as his hips snap against yours, his tip finding that perfect spot every time.

“Fuck,” he grunts in your ear. “So fuckin’ tight n’ wet f’me, doll.” You moan as his fingers rub your clit faster. Your legs are shaking with the sheer force of your alpha’s thrusts.

“So deep, Suki—Fuck! You’re so fucking deep, baby,” you mewl. You feel surrounded by him, by the pleasure he has coiling in the pit of your tummy. He lets go of your arms in exchange for wrapping his across your chest, fingers digging into your shoulder. Your tits bounce against his skin as he fucks you even harder.

The squelching of your tight hole around his hard length screeches over that of the bubbling water jets. But you’re even louder. Your moans echo off the tiles and ricochet in Katsuki’s mind. He’s busy ingraining your delectable whimpers in his mind for years to come.

“So fuckin’ perfect,” he rasps. You tilt your head back, and your alpha kisses you passionately. Tears stream down your cheeks and trickle across your lips as your tongues intertwine. You pull back, panting and sniffling. You whimper as his pre-cum leaks into your pussy, the fucked out look on your face doing something unfathomable to Katsuki.

Your knees weaken as your clit burns from his rubbing. His arm presses harder into your chest, drawing you back even further into him so you don’t slip. You babble mindlessly as your alpha fucks you closer to your orgasm. That knot in your stomach tightens and tightens.

Katsuki’s teeth ferociously attack the side of your neck as you scream, “I’m cumming, Suki! I’m cumming!”

Finally, he bites down just below your jaw as you drown in pleasure.

You scream out, your back arching beautifully and pussy clenching so fucking tight around Katsuki’s girth as you cum all over him. Your body spasms as the sensations ripple throughout you, his hips rutting into you and fucking you through your climax. You feel so high right now. Nothing can compare to the pleasure sparking and stinging your body. Your senses are drowned out by the waves you’re riding.

Your alpha’s hot seed shoots into you. It is so thick it burns your insides in the most delicious way possible. You grind on his knot, screaming and crying as he cums in you. You swear he’s pouring it into your fucking guts with how deep he is and full you are of his cream.

He pulls off your neck, blood coating his teeth and dripping down your clammy skin. Unable to hold yourself up anymore, you slump forward in his arms. You hear sloshing as Katsuki shifts forward, catching your body. He pulls you right back into him, his arms tight around your tensing frame. His tongue licks your fresh mark, intoxicated by the metallic taste.

Katsuki’s so fucking drunk right now on you. Your blood, your pussy, your dirty moans and screams, the way your orgasm still shudders through you. He feels so blessed to have you as his mate. To see your drop-dead gorgeous body glowing in the hazy afternoon light, soaked with sweat and slick.

You whimper tiredly, “Love you, Suki. I love you so much—”

“I know, love,” he grunts low. You melt into his warm body. You whimper as his cock twitches in you, feeling his cum squishing your walls.

You whisper, “I’ll love you forever, Su—”

“Fuck, baby. I know, okay?” He grumbles against your ear. “I know.” He squeezes you in his arms and peppers your cheek with kisses until you tilt your head back. He captures your lips in such a tender kiss. You can feel his slowing heartbeat thumping against your back, mirroring your own.

He pulls back and softly kisses your brow and then your nose and eyelids, making you giggle. His calloused palms rub your arms as he pecks your lips and then your chin. He starts purring, and you purr with him, feeling so content.

Even if he can’t say it (yet), you know that Katsuki loves you. He loves you so fucking much. You can feel it in the vibrations of his chest, in his delicate kisses on your jaw and neck.

Smiling, you whisper into his messy locks, “I love you.”

COLLEGE AU TIGHNARI ROOMMATE HCS

Tighnari x gn reader

A/N: AUGGGHHHHH IM INSANE AGAIENEBWFWFWWGQ Missing tighnari hours oue so I will write out all the roomie hcs I have to share; per usual its self indulgent as hell

If im being fr this is probably gonna have a part 2 soon i always forget something 😭😭 also my art of him is down there somewhere!!!!

Cw: long af oh my god

more utc

First Meeting:

- You’re a biology major or something similar and just visiting the college you’ll be attending

- You were definitely going to move into the dorms but you heard about and later witnessed some student running around like a maniac looking for a roommate

- You even got emails about it, found flyers on some of the pinboards around the school and even saw ads online (whether that be in some college gc app like zeemee or whatever)

- Eventually you did a bit of basic research on this guy by asking some of your friends or people who know him and you found out his name is Tighnari and he’s double majored in biology and botany

- You let him go on for a few days-a week before you realized he really wasn’t going to find a roommate this late in the game; feeling both pity and admiration for his dedication, you approached him with one of the flyers in your hand as the poor guy took a break from his ad campaign

- “Um… about this flyer…..”

- Tighnari’s ears immediately perked up oh you just made his week, no his month— maybe even his year

- “Yes? Are you interested in moving in? My previous roommate has begun living elsewhere” he explained.

- You’re hesitant, hoping you aren’t making a mistake but eventually steel yourself and figure you only live once right? Plus he could always help with your work! You give him a firm nod.

- Tighnari got a bit overexcited, asking way too many questions at once, “When can you move in? How will you be paying rent? Are you alright with plants? Right, by the way I’m Tighnari. I am a biology and botany major”

- “It’s nice to meet you! I’m (Y/n). I can move in soon and plants are fine! Uh …About rent! I’ll have to find a job but I do have some savings!” you confessed nervously.

- To tell the truth you weren’t planning on getting a job this early on, planning to get the hang of the new workload first but desperate times call for desperate measures (Cute guy in trouble 😤)

- Tighnari however, was unamused. His face completely dropped as if you’d just told him his entire family dropped dead, “You don’t have a source of income already…? Then why would you…. Sigh Nevermind. Its fine. This is fine. I’ll even help you job search”

- “Greeeaaatttt there goes my credit” he thought. And it showed on his face too.

- You just shoot him a silly smile and over the course of the days it took to move you into his apartment you establish some ground rules

Rules:

- He will do the cooking and he’ll cook for you if he’s cooking for himself (if he’s not cooking then you’re on your own)

- In return you do a majority of the cleaning although it’s still pretty split kinda like a 60/40 or 55/45 kind of deal

- You pay the water bill while he pays electricity (you take long showers and his plants and such sometimes require lamps + he just uses a lot of electricity I feel like it’s not usually for him but his plants and work)

- Visitors are pretty much always welcome but you have to let the other know beforehand

- Although the previous rule is true none of those kind of visitors are allowed. Tighnari has sensitive ears he don’t wanna hear that 😭😭

- Be cool and communicate if you have a problem

Apartment:

- SO MANY PLANTS. LIKE THEY ARE TAKING OVER THE APARTMENT . This is a big part of why Tighnari didn’t want to live in the dorms since he wouldn’t be able to have as many plants as he wanted

- It’s a little funny Cyno has really bad allergies so he never lived with him and Collei lived with him for a long time but moved out to move in with Amber (oue shes leaving the nest) (she’s in the apartment right below yours)

- You, as a biology major, on the other hand LOVE the amount of plants in the apartment and Tighnari is ecstatic because he was sooo worried you’d try to make him get rid of them or something; is even more glad that you like them as much as he does

- Also has a big tank of worms where he dumps all the leftovers neither of you eat. He then uses the compost as plant fertilizer

- Despite the amount of things in the apartment its very neat and organized; there are little notebooks next to every living thing to keep track of when and how to feed them

You and Him:

- He has a very old ass car but only uses it for emergencies because he’s not a fan of carbon emissions (usually goes places by public transport, walking or hitching rides) (its the little things that make a big difference ok)

- He works two jobs: One at a plant/flower shop and the other at the school library

- He sometimes brings home new plants because all the plants no one will buy are always given to him by management

- You work one or two jobs likely on campus maybe in the newspaper or the school cafe etc

- Either way whenever you get home tired or after just having a bad day he’d comfort you so much no matter how many days in a row you do the same thing, flopping on the couch and groaning

- When you first did it you two weren’t close but he still stroked your hair and offered you some words of praise but when you two became more comfortable he’d straight up hold you to his chest or let you lay on his lap while stroking your hair if you don’t mind

- “I really need to stop coddling you” he’d say this all the time but never follow through on it and you’d be in his arms as we speak 😅

- He never did stop coddling you. Whenever you watch a show or anime he’s right beside you on the couch reading his book as he glances up every now and again; sometimes gives his two cents on what’s going on in the show (my personal fave is him getting mad at the usopp going merry arc in water 7 bye)

- He has little black rectangular reading glasses idc idgaf he dresses like an old man too with cardigans and sweater vests, maybe overalls if he’s going out to do garden work (he has no sense of fashion we know this)

- If you’re willing to listen he will yap so much about his plants and about wildlife; his heart melts in his chest if you seem genuinely interested and are paying close attention

- You have a snail named Saniel/Saniela. You almost stepped on him and brought him inside, putting him in a little terrarium thing.

- Tighnari hates that thing (he doesn’t; he’s like a grumpy father with a new dog) if it gets out it will eat his plants, so watch it. 😤

- Posts it on his little conservation account (shoutout to the person who wrote that post where he had a conservation insta acc i cant find it) and it overtakes the page gn its his worst nightmare. First it steals his unofficial lover now his followers

- Yall would’ve been burned at the stake in the 1800s you’re always doing your “projects” in the house unless its dangerous (but you’ll still do it outside) like you seeing a girl on Tiktok grow mushrooms on a book so you try it at home…

- He always helps you with anyyyyything. You need help studying for this biology test? So does he, come on in. You need a shoulder to cry on? He has two!! You want a snack but you don’t want to ask too much of him? Don’t be ridiculous he’s making you something as we speak

- He’s actually such a sweetheart he worries about your diet so much; honestly he’s content knowing that you’re under his care bc then he knows you’re eating right

- He wakes up and starts his day INSANELY early and honestly if you manage to wake up before him he’d probably flinch seeing you up LOL he’s so not used to anyone being awake when he is let alone earlier

- Absolute hypocrite too, he won’t let you sleep too late no matter what day it is or whether you have class or not but when he does it he’s just busy smh

- Wouldn’t mind if you treated him the same although if it’s time sensitive he fears he cannot give in to your demands sigh

- He’s a worrywart and a leeeetle nagging but you can tell he cares and you care about him just the same

- You’re always doing whatever you can to take stress off of his shoulders like running errands for him, cooking for him/ordering takeout when he can’t cook, Taking care of his plants for him when he’s busy, etc

- If you work out in the house after moving in then it’s so over for him

- He’s insane. If you’re in the living room he will go “read” his book on the couch but he’s been on the same page the whole time, is he ever gonna flip?

- Not even like explicit workouts like squats or something; just seeing you push yourself to your limit and sweaty and grunting and— where was he again? Ah right page 52.

- It’s so much worse if you ask him to help in some way, he can’t focus at all especially if you ask him to sit on your back while you do pushups

- Also a fan of you being taller than him no matter the method. (Which isn’t hard to achieve bc I hc him like 5’1-5’3) Naturally tall? Great! Wearing platforms? Amazing! Standing on a stool? As long as he doesn’t look down then it’s hot

Funny Bonus from the ari:

Tighnari: do you know anyone who still needs housing arrangements?? pls I’m desperate 😭

Alhaitham: you could take Kaveh

Kaveh: WOWWWW…

[homestuckreplay]

this would be funnier if dave’s beverage of choice was a lemon lime soda

(page 1645-1657)

The empty scaffolding of Dave’s apartment is a sight to behold. On the zoomed in version you can see the wavy edges where the other apartments have been wrenched from the penthouse, which is pretty fucked up to think about. I’m starting to think we won’t see Dave actually enter the Medium, but what happens next with his sprite is WAY more significant – and unique to his entry.

We circle back to Dave and John’s pre-blastoff conversation from a few pages ago, now from the other perspective. It’s a trick Homestuck has used often, but this is the first time the conversation changes, with Dave telling John to wait where before he let him leave. And then Future Dave shows up, who is WAY cooler than Present Dave.

When John asked ‘what kind of gullible stooge do you think i am?’ (p.1648) I said OUT LOUD, ‘maybe the kind of gullible stooge who’ll fuck up a whole timeline for a cool leetspeaking troll girl you just met?’ And what do you know, on the very next page present Dave says ‘[Future Dave] says i dunno gullible enough to trust a leetspeaking troll who wants you dead and strap on a rocket pack cause she said to’ (p.1649). Because like. John has befriended aliens and captchalogued a salamander and created remote controlled ghost weapons and resurrected his long dead grandma and the idea of Future Dave is where he draws the line? Dave is right to say ‘this sort of cornball horseshit is your cup of tea not mine’ because he’s the guy who recently invented a convoluted piss drinking prank and decided it was too much effort to go through with (p.1440-3). This is the guy who will only put in the work on something if it contributes to his very specific self image, and even then, he’ll act like he didn’t work hard on it at all (see: all of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff).

It looks like John still blasts off, but while he’s in the air, something Dave said resonates – probably the realization that he and Dave have been friends for years, and yes Dave is a dickhead, but he’s still stood by John’s side and never tried to hurt him. Meanwhile, John’s only been on good terms with GC for a couple hours, and she’s previously expressed a wish to hurt him and his friends. It’s pretty common (in regular, non-life and death situations) for people to get excited about a new friendship, go all in on that, and neglect their previous friendships. John is learning not to do that in a much harsher way than most people, but it’s still a good lesson. And I’m so relieved it worked and we don’t need a whole other loop, because three Daves would just be too many.

And then. And then Future Dave jumps into the god damn sprite. Just drops all his cool loot, says nothing, and jumps the fuck in there.

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

^ it probably feels something like this??

Okay. Thinking this through. We have two Daves, both of whom have the exact same life experiences up to and including Dave telling John ‘it definitely sounds like youre fucking something up over there. but alright later’ (p.1637 / 1646). Davesprite, additionally, has had four months of emotional growth. Four very traumatic months in which he’s lost and grieved his best friends, been haunted by a ghost puppet, and had to learn skills fast and fight his way across a land of burning metal. But also four months in which he’s been free of Bro, able to live independently for the first time, literally master time, and work towards the goal of saving himself and his friends. I’m not saying it’s worth the suffering, but I’d say he’s almost certainly a better person for all this. On top of that, Davesprite now might have birdlike qualities including a desire to nest and lay eggs, and he has access to l kinds of knowledge about Skaia, Sburb and Dave’s quest that just filters into his head now through his merging with the game code. Present Dave doesn’t have any of that, but he does have his future self to advise him, and stop him from making his mistakes. He’s also gone from a life of trying to live up to his bro’s example, to a life of trying to live up to his own cooler future self’s example.

Where do you even begin trying to unpack all that? From either of their perspectives????

Yeah that’ll have to do for now. But there’s definitely some big existential questions about what it means for there to be two Daves who are so the same and yet so different, what their relationship will be like, how they’ll interact with their other friends, and how becoming a sprite affects personality. I also noticed that we've seen future Dave drawn in a cool action hero style, like we've seen for John and Rose, but back in the present he's all sprite art again. It's not a hard switch over, there's examples of both on both sides, but I think this softer, more dynamic art style might be associated with the kids being in their Lands.

One difference is that Davesprite is able to troll gallowsCalibrator, and pick the right point on her timeline to do this. I’m not sure the kids have the power to contact the trolls first; all evidence so far says they can only respond. GC does get pretty handily trolled here, and I don’t buy her ‘OBV1OUSLY 1 KN3W 1T W4SNT GO1NG TO WORK’ (p.1657) for a single second – she’s saying that in hindsight to save face, but she genuinely wanted to try this. She’s also definitely flirting with Davesprite – just like GA, she immediately gets a crush on the first person to out-troll her.

Davesprite asks ‘whos in charge of timeline management’ among the trolls, and GC has previously mentioned a ‘M41D OF T1M3’ (p.1524) who we now learn isn’t interested in trolling the kids. None of the troll usernames mention time directly, but apocalypseArisen and twinArmageddons both predict big, world ending events, suggesting knowledge of the future, while caligulasAquarium has the same god’s eye view, person observing their domain feeling as the ‘Godhead’ in Dave’s name. So I’d guess one of those three for the time domain.

Finally, we get to see Rose again!! There’s another conversation recap, this time of her earlier Pesterlog with Jade, followed by the most Rose phrase of all time – ‘the luxury of Harley's narcolepsy’ (p.1654). It continues to be one of my favorite things about Homestuck that the narrator is pretty hands off with the kids, and really lets their voices come through.

We get a first glimpse of Rose’s dream self in her bedroom on Derse!! Vodka Mutini is there too, and has clearly grown up across the last few months. I’m horrified that Future Dream Vodka Mutini is ceasing to exist. It is the real tragedy here. I'm also big on how she's alchemized her laptop with the power supply, AND how Dave throwing her bed out the window persisted into the dream realm, so she has to sleep in her knitting. (Hey, it's been four months. She could've alchemized a new bed. This is a choice.)

But, we now have 3 of 4 lands revealed, 3 of 4 sprites fully prototyped, 3 of 4 dream selves… really checking off some lists. I like that Rose’s dream outfit isn’t just a colorswapped version of Jade’s, but is also based on her waking outfit with its shorter skirt and headband. The miniflash confirms that Rose’s future dream self is able to merge with her present self, which might give present Rose some additional knowledge that she didn’t have access to before, especially knowledge about Derse. It’s not as extreme as the Dave and Davesprite situation, but this is still going to impact her, especially once her present self finds out what’s happened.

[brain-usurped-by-bug]

When you hear that Turbo "lived in the bowels of GCS" what do you picture?

I personally imagine a claustrophobic maze of circuit boards, metal, plastic, exposed wires, air ducts and crawl spaces. Like an old desktop computer interior. Lots of long hallways and cramped spaces, plenty of nooks to hide in, very easy to get lost. A fair amount of dust and grime. Random 1980-90's junk piled up in places. I imagine most of the living space is under the floor with some space in the walls and celling that's usually not worth the trouble of climbing up air ducts to access. It's very dark too but Turbo's eyes glow so I think he gets around fine. Tempeture wise I picture it being ether very hot or very cold with little in-between. There are vents and loose floorboards all around leading to GCS proper that he can eavesdrop at or lift them up to swipe things from inattentive characters.

I picture him setting up a little nest in there somewhere where he's got a little bed, stolen newspapers, food packaging he hasn't taken out yet, a radio and casete tapes so he can jam out his frustrations, and a journal where he writes about his feelings/coding tips. The walls and celling are sticky and brown due to all the cigarette smoking by the time he leaves to take over Sugar Rush.

Prologue

  Not sure if I really have to say this but do NOT feed this or anything else I write to AI or else I’ll feel you to Mothman. Word Count: 625

 “Mason! Come on, you have school tomorrow!” He could hear his mother yelling for him. The camera in his hands was swinging up and down as he ran faster through the woods. Maybe, just maybe if he stayed long enough then tomorrow wouldn’t come. Maybe if he could run fast enough then today could last. 

    Quickly the young boy shook his head. There was no time to think about that. He just needed one more picture but of what? A tree? Maybe an animal? Perhaps it will start raining. It was always so beautiful when it rained, or at least to Mason. Even without the rain the woods have always been beautiful to him. It has always felt so peaceful.

     Mason stopped dead in his tracks and took a deep breath to smell the faint scent of moss and soil. Up above him the birds were singing such a lovely tune. He could even see one of the bird's nests with little chicks inside. It was perfect, maybe this is where he would take the last picture…

     “Where is it!” A loud voice echoed from behind him. The once peaceful atmosphere was disrupted by a thick obsidian colored fog. “Where are they’re books?” 

     “What?” Mason turned around quickly trying to see who- no what made that sound. The boy could feel his heart stop in its tracks. Just like his feet did just a moment ago. He could barely see through the fog. A large figure with a million of sharp blue eyes stared back at him. The creature resembled a man…to some extent. Large moth-like wings pulled out from its back. Black hair with hits of silver fell across its face. Its skin was the same color of the powder his mother used to whiten her face. The rest of its body was covered in long black robes. 

    “Human,” that was the last word it said before Mason raised up his Polaroid camera. One last picture. One last word. Mason just forgot one thing, one small thing. The flash was still on, and when it went off the creature cried out as if it was in agony. The thing lifted itself in the air with its wings. 

   “W-wait!” Mason yelled, “what are you?” 

   “Mason!” This time he could hear his mother screaming. “Mason, where are you?” Again the boy turned around to see his mother running up to him and when he tried seeing that thing again. It was gone.

    ���Mother, I saw something.” All he could do was whisper in wonder and terror of what he saw.

    “I’m sure you did,” his mother said, grabbing him by his shoulder. “I yelled for you multiple times and I didn’t hear anything back. Do you have any idea how worried I was?”

    “But Mo-” Mason attempted to get a word in. Still looking around for that creature.

    “No buts! You have school tomorrow, come on, let's go home already.” The woman scolded.

 …………………………………………………………

    Mason sat quietly down on the wooden chair at the far reaches of the community library. Another day, another disappointment. This time it was because he was trying to show someone the picture he took yesterday. But no one believed him and what he saw. 

    Slowly the boy opened the books he had found. To him it was very unlikely to find anything in the regular animal books. That creature was not human but its eyes gleamed with intelligence that only humans had. That was no animal so what was it then?

    The boy took the photo from his jacket pocket. He would figure out what that was. Maybe there was more like it. Opening the book he got from the shelves next to him. He would find out what it was.

Tada. First actual thing I put on here other than insane ramblings! @valy-gc. Not fully happy with this but if I keep second guessing myself then this will never be posted. We all know who the creature is right? Probably some minor edits will happen soon. This starts my summer break!

[deceit-and-knowledge]

"…..Cheese likes shiny things. Any recommendations?" *He glances at pv’s amazingly decorated nest.* (<-I think my gc would have a nest too. Shinies ✨)

the angel pokes some crystals in its nest, knowing it's friend likes shiny stuff. Though obviously in a colour she'd prefer. The nest is decorated in the colour of the mate it wants to impress.

[katkarlov]

Aaaand another thing...

Artificer-run Astarion just found out about ascension. I go to Gale.

Sir, Astarion can't use mirrors, he's a vampire. What's your excuse for being so fucking daft?!

You can't imagine how he feels? Have you forgotten the sternum to eyeball "terms of your own condemnation carved into your skin"? Just saying it with your whole marked chest? Aight. Especially since this could be a real connecting moment for the two characters who can struggle against each other for many valid reasons.

And I know this is just a product of team-based writing in general, but it itches my neurodivergent brain.

Baby boi was having a bad day, though. He had to run with the big, strong girlies (did Gauntlet with me, Karlach, and Shadowheart), and we could all jump something he couldn't. Had to drop this in the GC I have with my nesting partner and Buck:

So, yeah, I have a history of my PCs bullying their wizards when their INT outpaces their WIS. I know it's not in the AI for him to cast that, but in my own mind, I'm like, "godsdammit Gale, for being smart as fuck, you're dumb as hell..." and it makes me love him more because I'm a glutton for punishment.

[coffeen-deaths]

Hello and how are you, I hope you are feeling okay, now for big questions that need further information. At Early Awakening... and Little demons, okay!

Early Awakening

■ Did the beast one-time catch White Lily crying ? It can be anything that they hatw to discuss, like DC situation on another child and Dark Choco, PV's no child/children with WL and Lily's freedom, HB's any argument and same to GC* [I had no idea what's GC and HB hates to discuss], and what the beast do to her? Do they comfort her? Or something more different like PV's, another manipulating her emotions again.

■ Did Lily really have another child/children, and who's the father? Or Fathers....

■ Did one time, White Lily, wandering the Dark Cacao kingdom and ending up at the dungeon, what mostly she saw, her reaction, and what happened to DC finding out WL saw everything in the dungeon?

■ When WL cries, they try to comfort her, only in their own way, DC will take her to her room to cry in peace, HB will hold her, GC will take her to her nest to give her cuddles, they may try to manipulate her at times, but in essence they want her to stop crying. ■ Other than Pitaya, no, she had no other children, only those of the beasts and the dragon. ■ She saw all those who were against him, but she also saw people who talked to her once and disappeared, DC was upset that WL saw that, as it triggered a fight, which ended with WL on the floor crying while covering her cheek [… He hit her].

… I feel bad…. but happy

I don’t want to write a full fic because I do not have the concentration for it right now but I do keep thinking about it so have some We Are A/B/O thought dumps.

Peem - An alpha raised by beta parents I feel. He’s conscious of others and his herding instincts are strong but he’s not domineering. Making their friend group an official pack is his idea and, outside of Tang, he’s the best at corralling everyone together for pack hangs.

Phum - Omega. For a long time he’s uncomfortable about it and uses blockers to pass for a Beta. His size and posturing allow him to glance pass as alpha or beta. He presented when he was living alone in a foreign country and learned to hide to get by. But the longer he’s in a relationship with Peem, and conversely his friends, the more comfortable he becomes. Toey adds him to gc named ‘Stop! Omega time’ containing him, Toey, Fang and Pun. He and Fang both complain at first but they grow to like it so much that often the four of them will have omega only nights out that usually end up with them nesting at the pack house.

Q - Alpha raised by two alphas. Was a bit of a dick before he met Peem, Tan, Chain & Pun in high school. Still can be a bit of a dick but he’s better with it now. Both his parents didn’t like that he chose art over something more ‘alpha’ but he always does things his own way and that wasn’t going to change. As a result he’s not close with his birth pack and prefers his chosen pack and Peem’s parents.

Toey - Omega with a very traditional family and pack I think. Raised to think that his gender rendered him inferior and that he needed to find a pack approved alpha so he could get married and have pups. He started questioning that around the same time he started leaving notes as Milk Frappe Boy. Like Q he’s also no longer close with his birth pack. I think he and Q are also the first in the pack to have a pup. The others are surprised but Q isn’t knowing his mate may have rejected a lot his upbringing but that he never lost the desire to have a pup.

Tan - Alpha. Has an alpha and a beta parent but his beta parent, mum, left when he was a kid so he was raised by his dad. Quite an angry kid, like Q, Peem, Chain and Pun were good influences on him. Meeting Fang in high-school also helped. He’s close with his dad, working in the family garage that he’ll probably take over one day. Almost always the first one too organise pack get togethers.

Fang - Omega and not shy about it. His and Phum’s elder brother is an Alpha which meant their parents placed most of their pressure and attention onto him leaving Fang and Phum alone. Has never had the best relationship with their dad but does his best to keep the peace and keep Phum safe. He swore he’d never fall for an alpha, made him self as unpleasant and prickly as possible but Tan saw through it all. Low key the packs head omega, pretends he doesn’t care but is secretly the one that plays protector and aggressor to Peem’s more gentle nature as the head alpha.

Chain - A beta raised by betas was considered boring by a lot of his peers but he didn’t really care. Met the gang when he helped Peem break up a fight between Q and Tan. Pun had wandered by, sneezed at the alpha stench, and then proceeded to ask them all if they wanted to share his chips. If he’s honest with himself that’s when he fell in love.

Pun - An omega with lesbian omega parents. Pun has never known shame where his status is concerned and it’s something he’s spread to the rest of the pack. When they finish university he goes into a role where he works to improve omega rights. He loves nesting and he and Toey teach Fang and Phum how to do it well. In high-school he plays up to being the only omega in their pack but Chain’s the only one to dote on him. When he asks Peem, Q & Tan about it years later they roll their eyes and tell him Chain made it clear from the start that Pun was his.

Peem is the one who initially brings up the idea of forming a pack; non-traditional packs are becoming more commonplace and as they all started to mate and grow into their adult lives he thought turning their unofficial pack into a proper pack was the move. Nobody is overly hard to convince but Phum and Fang are the ones who take time to adjust. Once Fang adjusts he quickly takes to his role as the eldest omega, he forms a surprisingly strong bond with Toey who, along with Pun, helps him too help Phum better accept his sub-gender.

If Valentine sleeps longer than a day from pure exhaust ( ?) I think that Spelldon, whisp, and Johnny lay with him to make sure he's comfortable and gets love so he Dosent go hungry ( Is that how it works?)

Imagine

Spelldon gets home from doing something with his sister and walks into their shared bedroom only to see a nest with Val curled into a ball with his hands and arms under him, spelldon then texts the GC that he's sleeping and both come over just to cuddle vamp boy.

I am delusional

SIDE NOTE: check out this amazing comic by smogupyoart on insta! I love them so much ( platonically)

I have joined my friends for watching the most recent episode of Good Omens. They love this show so much they changed the group chat name about it! We've NEVER changed the GC name until now. They keep talking about how gay this show is, and how it's probably queerbaiting and nothing will happen but they're still excited, and oh my god. They're going to be so upset. They're going to weep. This is like watching a small child that thinks a wasps nest is a piñata, but not being able to do anything to stop the imminent destruction. Send them your best wishes they need it

Anonify the already anon: Hope you’re feeling better *hugs*

GC q(s), if they aren’t too spoilerly:

Are there any members who aren’t currently together that you believe are end game?

Is sweet bby Spence like Tbear where he’ll find his person outside of the GC?

Will Matty find his own nesting partner?

Thanks for the question Anon. I had to uh, not answer it as an ask because I wanted to delete part of it.... :D because it WAS spoilery. Maybe. idk... I. D. K it for sure alluded to a pairing that I haven't confirmed in the GCU yet... but which I might confirm in the next chapter. So, a huge part of the answer here comes down to I DON'T PLAN THIS SHIT. Like, I really really don't. If you go back and read the GC tumblr posts you can see me at the start being like "This is never ever ever going to have mattdrai in it because it is NOT a mattdrai world" and then those fuckers just fucking DID THAT TO ME Jeff and Eric were supposed to be endgame and then REAL LIFE ERIC STAAL RUINED MY PLANS which isn't even the most homophobic thing he's ever done. So I try not to be like "this person is gonna be endgame with this person" because I just can't. They will ruin it for me, I know they will. I'm trying to think if there are any pairings that it could be, and honestly, I don't think there are. We're getting progress on Clouder's romantic life in the next chapter though, I've written loads of that :D I'm a huge fan of sweet baby spence kind of, sorting himself out before he looks outwards, and so is he. He is hundo P in his healing era right now and WE STAN OK. WE FUCKING STAN. BUT... there is progress for sweet baby spence (that's his name now I don't make the rules) which I will share in terms of a snippet at the end here. Also, Matty isn't LOOKING for a nesting partner rn, because he lives with Spencer. And he likes living with Spencer and he likes that Spencer has someone to live with. It's important for both of them. If we could sit Matthew down and explain to him that romantic relationships and platonic relationships actually can function pretty much the same he'd probably realise that right now, as he is, spencer is his nesting partner and he doesn't think he's his FOREVER nesting partner, but he is for sure his right now nesting partner.

Ok, have a little snippet of our two favourite fanfic nerds chatting about writing fanfic:

Makar: But for sure if you need me to have a look over stuff, send it to me! I’m not super good at grammar and things but I can have a look.

Makar: What pairing is it?

Knighter: Oh. It’s gen.

Makar: AH AH HA HA HA HA look at me, so obsessed with shipping my teammates with each other that for a moment I lived in a world where gen fic didn’t exist.

Makar: Is it about you?

Knighter: Uh no. It’s about Sid? Which, omg feels so weird to say. Like, I’ve never spoken to him, I think he’d hate me for it.

Makar: I feel he’d mind less about gen fic than slash stuff, it’s just the slash stuff with geno that upsets him

Makar: But don’t feel bad about writing about people we know lol

Makar: I’ve literally written fic about my boyfriend railing his best friend sooooooooo

Knighter: OMG does he KNOW?

Makar: Yup.

Knighter: Can I be you when I grow up?

7, 10, and 13!

7. What OC (yours or someone else's) can't you get enough of?

These are really hard. For my own work, I'm gonna say Maitland in TSIME. She's a side character and one of Bobby's best friends. She's unpretty, she's grumpy, she has no time for feelings, but underneath her crusty exterior is a person who loves HARD. I just adore her. I also have a great love of Siobhan in TSIME. For other people's OC's, that's tough. There are so many I could list. But I think I'm gonna go with Sadie from The Greatest of Them All. She's sweet, strong, smart, and batshit crazy and I love her. The Scorpio rising in me honors the Scorpio that must live in her. Because she is SPITEFUL. I could read many more stories about her life with Bobby.

10. What's a theory/headcanon that you would die on the hill of?

Hmmm. Sam just reminded me that I basically wrote an essay on why my favorite fuckboy Levi cheats. It's a whole long build up I won't post here, but basically Levi feels his only worth is in WINNING. In being perfect. And he's desperate to feel like he can be loved even if he fucks up. Which is why he cheated and then immediately flew home and told Luci. And Luci of course, dumped him without hearing him out (as is her right) but to him proved that yet again, he isn't allowed to fuck up. Which is why, after Cherry-gate, if you give him another chance, he becomes THE UBER BOYFRIEND. He's the fucking best. Because you gave him space to fuck everything up, but you still cared about him. You stuck around and now, he'll fucking die for you.

13. What's your favourite moment during your time in the fandom?

It happened a long time ago, but back when my first exposure to the fandom was Twitter, there was a lot of weird shit happening. Long before the Tumblr accounts, there were S2 characters tweeting. And there were two Bobby accounts. I was in a Bobby stan Twitter GC and one of the Bobby accounts joined the chat. Everyone went bonkers and we all just sort of roleplayed that Bobby was our group boyfriend. It was extremely weird 😂 But then one day, THE OTHER BOBBY JOINED. LE GASP. And the two Bobbys fought for our hearts. Sides were chosen, accusations were hurled, and in the end, one Bobby was CAST OUT of our love nest. To this day I can't see the Spiderman gif where the two point at each other without thinking of the Battle of the Bobbys.

Also, side note, afterward, I found out that it was the same person running both Bobby accounts, so she was fighting with herself and somehow, that made it even weirder and funnier to me. She told me she got bored so she spiced it up 🤣🤣🤣.

Thank you for the ask, @longbobmckenzie!
