none of my friends will let me talk abt my favourite artists so im making this tumblr post so i can talk abt how cool these artists are before i explode

FIRSTLY HIDARI

i love hidari's art it manages to be colourful and soft at the same time. look at how he paints hair. beautiful. gorgeous. stunning. it's so flowy and pretty god i wish i could do that. the colours are warm EVEN with characters with colder colour schemes. its so beautiful i love it.

NEXT YUSUKE KOZAKI

i cant really think of one thing to comment on i adore the lineart and the amount of details. i LOVE the shading especially on his no more heroes art. id have added more nmh rather than just bad girl but like. uhhh. lets just say no more heroes is a game you shouldn't play in front of ur parents. there is a guy who shoots lasers out of his crotch and has machine gun nipples. im not joking. just know the soundtrack fucks and yusuke kozaki's art is really cool.

FINALLY MIKA PIKAZO

ohhhh my god OHHHHH MY GOD HER ART. i fucking adore it. i love how chaotic and messy and bold and colourful and BEAUTIFUL it all is. her use of colour is STUNNING. i especially love how she draws eyes. i love her use of halftones it really makes things pop. her compositions are brilliant. i have never been so envious. i really wanna start using bolder colours in my own art and it is all thanks to her. her art is just so striking. i am insane over her art i want to eat it. god. GOD. god. tell me this isn't the coolest shit ever. u cant. youd be lying. god BLESS.

anyways thank u for coming to my ted talk i am so normal

Where are you and Spike headed?

ooc. )) Good question, my friend! I actually want the community to be interactive with Alicorn's Lament, so here is what I was thinking---Polls! A lot of her story im going with focuses on the grief of immortality, relationships, life, change, etc and what's a Princess of Friendship, without her friends? That being said..... Who first? https://strawpoll.com/polls/B2ZBE9kaAgJ --- (Options will change as the story progresses! also tysm for hosting a poll through strawpoll w/ @fleet-follows i was looking for a site that could do that! )

I know everyone gets zapped with a spontaneous Chronic Thing in their 20s but literally nothing could have prepared me for arthritis i genuinely feel blindsided Lmfaooo. The highlight of my month so far is discovering extra strength tiger balm

Anyways this means I. Have barely drawn in months. It hurts terribly to type and write and i do both 40 hrs a week.

I have been far more chronically OFFline in the last 1.5 years or so actually. I dropped off the map when i got this job lol thats so fucked

That being said, I currently firmly believe that if ever again itll be a Very long time before i consistently post content like i used to. Aside from physically being unable to move well most days and Also having carpel tunnel on top of it, i honestly just dont feel like doin it LMFAO. im being so real ive had little to no desire to do any of anything im known to do. Im working hard to find new hobbies or joys in old ones but by talos im being tested. Even if i have no desire Now to do these things, it still feels like ive been robbed of all the creative outlets i have, because one day i know i Will want to draw again. However as a direct result i am relearning to have hands off hobbies. Like just Watching things. I havent done this in so long lmfao it was just content all of the time this feels so Nice

Oh and quick note because idk if ive said anywhere but i currently have no plans of ever writing fanfiction again

So TLDR: a lot of shit has changed. A LOT for worse but theres still some good so im going to be grateful for whatever small victories i can get rn

If anyone has arthritis/joint pain hacks let me know I Need em. Mobility stretches and stuff too gimme all of that plz

Okay thats all hope everyones doing well im returning to making my dinner byeeeeee

[kagejima]

I know you're a very busy woman and you haven't got all day but, please tell me more about Nanami timing me with his expensive watch and giving me ten minutes to make him come.

HOLD ON, I GOTTA THROW ON MY DICK SUCKING PLAYLIST :)))) it's just vedo, it's all vedo songs fadhjaskla

more thoughts under the cut (female reader, face fucking, throat fucking, gag reflex stuff, cum swallowing, he calls you a good girl and sweetheart)

OH GOD OKAY

so wendy and i were talking about how nanami owns incredibly expensive watches. like... the NICE ones, right? and i think she said something about "hope they're waterproof"

and then i said something like how everybody thinks he's a watch fanatic, but in reality he's on his 17th watch bc he only owns one watch bc you keep ruining it when he makes you squirt hehehehehe

and then we started yelling about how "wait, does he time himself? how fast he can make you come????" "wait, what if YOU only have ten minutes to make him come?????"

SO NOW WE'RE HERE!

okay, so, in my head, nanami is a very busy man. he's a grade one sorcerer, we know this. he has a lot of work he needs to do.

and sometimes, unfortunately, that work pulls him away from you. BUT he feels bad because he's been incredibly busy lately and hasn't made time for you :(

he feels bad, but you keep saying how you completely understand. the man is out there saving the world, you get it, you're just happy he still comes home alive each night.

so here he is tonight, he thinks he FINALLY has time to spend with you. but gojo is calling him.... and he ALWAYS screens gojo's calls.

so you two are getting hot and heavy, your own clothes are already off and nanami's on his way to having his off too, and you're tumbling around in the bed

and so the literally like the 10th time gojo calls him, he's PISSED, right? he swipes his phone up off the nightstand and he's like "WHAT!???"

gojo's all panicky on the other end - which you've NEVER heard gojo panicky before, so you know that it's bad... but you also know he likes to trick nanami into thinking that something is actually wrong when nothing is wrong

so nanami isn't taking him seriously this time. he never takes him seriously any time unless he has a second, third, fourth opinion about the matter. he just says that he's on his way.

but... he's fucking hard. he knows he can't go see gojo like this, he'll never hear the end of it.

so he keeps kissing you after he hangs up, and you're trying to get him to stop, and between kisses, you're like "don't you... don't you n... don't you need to go?"

he tells you have ten minutes :////

you're like "???? ten minutes to fuck you????"

he's like "no, i don't have time for that."

SIR PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

he tells you to be good and get on your knees for him

baby, he doesn't have to tell you twice, you're already on the floor before he even finishes his sentence.

FASDJHKAJSL IM GONNA GET A LIL FERAL, FUCK!!!!!

he.... baby, his pants are off, his thick cock is out, it's all weepy and red-tipped and it's just bobbing in front of you. he throws his tie over his shoulder and he bunches his shirt up so it isn't in your way

and you think he's JOKING about giving you ten minutes, but he SETS IT ON HIS WATCH

so now you feel pressure.... now you've forgotten literally everything you know about dick sucking

it all went out the window, bye-byeeeeee

baby, he's waiting.... he's waiting for you....

you're looking at his wrist and he's looking at you

HE'S JUST

HE JUST

"...Well? What are you waiting for?"

FOR MY BRAINCELLS TO COME BACK SIR, GIMME A FUCKING MINUTE

half of the work is already done for you, you think, because of you two getting so hot and heavy before and while gojo was calling, so surely you can do it in under ten minutes

BABY, NOW IT'S 8 MINUTES. YOU GOT 8 MINUTES. STOP WASTING TIME.

and you're oh so hesitantly sucking on the head of his cock now, your brain trying to remember all the techniques you know, but you're just nerves, it's so much pressure

because what is he gonna do if you don't succeed in the time limit?????

what is he gonna fucking do???

and so you start taking him deeper, and deeper.

you feel him hit the back of your throat and you hold him there, wondering if you can even relax to open up enough for him

baby, you can't, you're too nervous :(

and he senses you are, and he's trying to be gentle with you and help you, but fuck, now he only has five minutes

he knows nothing's gonna change in five minutes

a sweet and soft "sweetheart, i'm sorry. i'll make it up to you when i get home..."

and before you know it, he's picked you up in his strong arms and he's thrown you on the bed now, your head hanging down off of it

he reminds you to breathe as his cock works it way back down your throat

the noises are driving him insane, the way you're gagging and choking on him, the sloppy sounds of your spit leaking past your mouth and down your face as he mercilessly starts fucking your face

he feels bad that he's being rough with you, even though he knows you love it when he does this, so he tries to make it up to you by his hand reaching up and rubbing on your clit, trying to give you at least something

and he reminds you to breathe again as he tells you to relax and open up for him again

through spit laden gargles, you finally do open up

he grunts roughly because he knows he's close now, the way your hums and squeals and moans vibrate around his cock as he plays with you

through choked on moans he asks you if you're ready to swallow all of it

the watch starts to go off as you feel his cum, warm and thick and slippery spill down your throat and he keeps thrusting himself just a little bit now into your mouth still as he tries his best to not fall on top of you

when he finally regains his composure, he hisses a little as he slides his cock out

you whimper and cough a little

his cock is covered in spit and cum, shiny and wet

your face the exact same way

he tells you to stay where you are

not like you can move anyways

cooing little praises are said as he comes back and gently cleans your face with a damp cloth after you sit up

and your heart flutters as he kisses your forehead, telling you what a good girl you were for swallowing all of it and that he'll be home soon

[doctapuella]

HI!! i heard an anthrax song today on my headbangers ball channel and it was really good so now i need recs!!

(also i think this is kirk from when he was in exodus?? idk but i thought id send this your way💜)

and then i found this one too

love you!!💜

AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaa baby kirk!!!!!!!! aaa they're all babies i love these pics!!

OKAY. so! anthrax! without knowing which song it was you liked i'm just gonna babble a little bit about the music and if you want any more or to know anything else lemme know!!!! (i ended up typing so much, surprise surprise, so i'm adding a cut bc i don't know how to shut the fuck up)

there's 4 full albums with the "classic" lineup and what you heard was probably from that era: spreading the disease; among the living; state of euphoria; persistence of time. a lot of the songs are inspired by horror fiction (esp stephen king) and comics, because they're big ol' nerds.

on among the living (starting here because it's my fave and was also like their big breakthrough album) i really like the title track, "I am the law", "efilnikufesin (nfl)", and "a skeleton in the closet."

from spreading the disease go for "a.i.r.", "armed and dangerous", and "medusa". on state of euphoria they have more songs that are shifting to social commentary, which they do pretty well. such a good album but i especially like "make me laugh" (one of my favorite anthrax songs), "misery loves company", and their cover of "antisocial". i haven't listened to persistence of time as much as the others, but "belly of the beast" is fucking great and was one of the first songs that sucked me in. (also the music video is one of those thats like, just clips of them goofing around, which always gets me.)

i also gotta put in a word for the following era, when the singer joey belladonna left and they got john bush in. the album sound of white noise is really good. still anthrax, but much more of that 90s direction that a lot of bands went during that time. john has such a different voice and it shouldn't work but it does. "room for one more" is my fave from that era, but also "only" and "hy pro glo" are great too.

ALSO in general they are like, the best band i've ever heard at doing covers. i've listened to at least a dozen covers they've done (they did a b-sides album w a bunch and a covers ep) and the balance between being anthrax and tying to the original is just fucking phenomenal. best thin lizzy covers i've ever heard.

THIS IS SO MUCH IM SORRY im so excited and amped! anyway if you have specific ones you like and want something similar then maybe i can lead you in the right direction. also if you wanna know anything more about the actual band. OKAY BYEEEEEE LOV EYOU TOO

------------------------------

  Hugo was acting weird and Varian didn’t like that one bit. 

  Ever since their beach incident on Saturday, Hugo had been...way too awkward around him in classes or when they went out. Maybe it was him being dumb - but he couldn’t call it ‘mixed signals’ when Hugo had literally kissed him on the beach in the most romantic way he could’ve. A sigh left his lips, blowing his hair out of his face as Hugo, once again, kept his eyes on the laptop and ignored Varian’s attempts to hold his hand while they worked on their chemistry project. He groaned and leaned back into the pillows on his bed, moving his feet to Hugo’s lap who pushed them off and kept typing. 

  Why was he being like this? Did Varian say something to him to upset him? What was so wrong about him wanting to show affection to his...hm. He wasn’t really sure what to call his relationship at this point. They weren’t boyfriends but they certainly weren’t friends, the kiss having blurred those boundaries between them. Had Hugo changed his mind about his feelings towards Varian and he didn’t want to date or anything? It confused him to no end as he stared at the other boy, now leaning back against his green wall, his head resting directly under the shelf housing his prized possession - the Flynnigan Rider books. 

  “What’s going on?” Varian asked, propping himself up to look at the blonde with a frown on his face and his head slightly tilted. He didn’t get what he did wrong. What had he done in the past few weeks? He racked his brain to think of everything he'd done. He’d tried to kiss his cheek in the cafeteria, only to be shoved away. Maybe that put him off? He’d attempted to hold his hand under the table during chemistry, but Hugo had pulled his hand away almost immediately. Was that the problem? “You’ve been kind of...off at the moment. I don’t know if I’ve upset you or..” his voice trailed off as emerald eyes met his, his stomach filling with the all too familiar butterflies as a slight smile graced his features. Just the sight of Hugo got his heart racing a million times a minute. 

  “You haven’t upset me. I just..” Hugo bit the inside of his cheek, his eyes breaking away from the little battle they were having much to Varian’s disappointment. “I’m not out yet. Not to the school. And after the whole Zander incident and him getting beaten up..I don’t want to risk that happening to you, V.” he confessed, taking Varian’s hands in his own and rubbing the back of his hands gently. It almost sent Varian into a trance, the blonde raising his hand to place a kiss to his palm. “I don’t want you to get hurt.”

  “I can protect myself, Hugo-” 

  “Yeah, but you shouldn’t have to. I like you, Varian, but I don’t want you to get hurt.” he whispered as he moved away from Varian. “Anyway, we should get back to work on the project. As much work as we’ve done, we kinda need to do a bit more than just a thesis.” His signature smirk fell onto his face as he looked at Varian, and Varian felt himself melt and all of his worries drift away as he nodded in agreement to Hugo’s proposal. 

  As they worked, Varian simply couldn’t focus. All he could really focus on was the sharpness of Hugo’s jaw, the glint in his eyes. Were his eyes always that green? The way he clicked his tongue in thought for a few seconds, before continuing to type whatever he’d conjured in his brain onto the laptop that shook in his lap. The laptop which had little stickers placed at random all over the back of it - little chemical symbols such as aluminium, bismuth, gallium, yttrium and test tubes along with some that referenced TV shows Varian hadn’t even heard of in his life. And he’d had A LOT of time to watch television during his break from school. He subconsciously propped his head against his hand, gazing at Hugo with nothing but love in his eyes. He really did have one of the most beautiful boys in the work to be his...whatever they were, huh?

  “What will it take to get you to work?” Hugo groaned in annoyance, turning his head to look at Varian. 

  “A kiss.” Varian bluntly stated as he grinned up at Hugo, who merely scoffed and rolled his eyes. 

  “Using my own trick against me, are we, Ruddiger?”

  “Yep.” Varian replied, popping the ‘p’ at the end as much as he could and leaning in closer to him. “You gonna do it or not? Because if not then...good luck finishing your project!” He declared as he rose to his feet, sauntering over to his desk with a smirk on his face as he heard Hugo’s frustrated groan from behind him. A shuffle sounded and before he knew it, a hand wrapped around his wrist and pulled him back onto his bed, shoving him to lie on his back before Hugo captured his lips in a rough kiss. 

  This was...very different to their kiss on the beach, Hugo nipping at Varian’s bottom lip and Varian’s hands threading through Hugo’s hair while the assault on his lips continued relentlessly. Slowly, Hugo broke the kiss, bruised lips meeting Varian’s as both their chests heaved to take in as much breath as they could.

  “You little shit-” Hugo growled breathlessly before proceeding to initiate another kiss. His cheeks were on fire as his legs wrapped around Hugo’s waist, desperate to pull the other as close as he could. He didn’t want this moment to end ever, Hugo’s weight pressing down on him. However, after a while, their rough kisses slowed into lazy, slow ones and Hugo shuffled down beside them. 

  Varian moved to rest his head on Hugo’s chest, the other’s flesh arm wrapping around him and his hand playing with his hair, strands twirling around his fingers as he placed gentle kisses to Varian’s forehead. “Hey..do you ever..think we met before this? Like..we met in another life I mean.” Hugo asked, his eyes focused on the ceiling as Varian tilted his head up to look at him with a confused look. 

  “I...I mean I’ve thought of it. You mean like soulmates, right?” He received a nod of confirmation. “I don’t know..it seems nice though. Thinking we were destined to be together.” He smiled as he kissed Hugo’s jawline, his hand reaching to cup Hugo’s cheek as he did so. “I like that idea quite a lot...sounds perfect.” He whispered against Hugo’s skin, him shivering at the sensation as Varian reached to take his prosthetic arm and intertwine their fingers. 

  Silently they sat, cuddled into each other before Hugo propped himself up slightly. “I should go.” he muttered, “My mom will want me back.” He kept trying to stand, Varian pushing him down gently and looking at him quietly.

  “Please stay.” he pleaded, his hands pushing down on Hugo’s chest and a look of desperation in his eyes. He wasn’t ready to let this go yet - he didn’t want Hugo to leave. Hugo simply nodded and hummed a quick ‘okay’ as he settled back into his position on the bed, Varian following suit and snuggling in closer to Hugo as he slowly fell asleep.

 ---------------------------

  When Varian woke up the next day, Hugo was nowhere to be found. He’d presumably left during the night, leaving Varian in an empty bed. Well, mostly empty other than him and Ruddiger, the fat raccoon snuggling onto the pillow beside his head which was a less than welcome sight when what he expected was the beautiful face of Hugo in a deep, deep sleep. He should’ve known.

  What if Nuru was right?

   He’d heard about Hugo’s reputation, but he was sure that the other wasn’t playing him at all. He couldn’t be. Everything he did seemed far too genuine. Far too affectionate to be something that wasn’t true. But...but what if it was? What if he really was messing Varian around and was just trying to put another notch on his belt? He reached out to grab his phone and search for a text from Hugo, but his eyes met a blank home screen, a frown moving on to his features. Maybe he really was as bad as Nuru had told him.

  Nuru, speak of the devil, sent him a text right at that second, the usual emojis and all caps typing when she was excited or wanted something from Varian. It was funny really, that him and Nuru had gotten so close in the small amount of time they’d known each other.

  Nuru : LETS GO TO TOWN!!! I’M BRINGING MY FRIEND YONG!!! TELL HUGO TO COME!!! 20 MINS!!! WE CAN WATCH THE FIREWORKS SHOW TONIGHT!

  Varian : Damn, okay. Calm down. Meeting in the town square?

  Nuru : YES!!!! SEE YOU SOON!!! <3

  Varian rolled his eyes and clicked onto Hugo’s contact, smiling at the sight of his name at the top of the screen happily. 

  Varian : Hey, Nuru’s told me we’re going to town today and we...kinda don’t have a choice but to obey her every demand. 20 mins at the town square. You wanna come?   Hugo : heh. sure i’ll come and bless you with my presence, hairstripe. Oh, by the way, sorry for leaving. Didn’t want your cop father figure to come and like,,,castrate me or something.

  Varian : Aha! It’s fine. I’ll see you later <3

  Hugo : Byeeeeee <333333

  Varian grinned and smiled widely, laying back on his bed with a happy sigh before he stood up and began to pack everything he needed for their day out. He yawned, shrugging the bag onto his back and trailing downstairs happily. “Bye guys! I’m meeting up with Nuru, Yong and Hugo!” he yelled out as he began the long walk to town.

  He couldn’t wait to see Hugo again.
