Choose Safe & Exciting Playground Slides | Kidzlet
Tumblr media
Playground SlideĀ are a quintessential part of childhood. That exhilarating rush of zooming down a shiny, curvy path is pure joy for kids of all ages. But with so many slide options available, choosing the right one for your playground can feel overwhelming.
Here atĀ Kidzlet Play Structures Pvt. Ltd., Delhi’s leading manufacturer ofĀ Children Outdoor Playing Equipment, we understand the importance of creating a fun and engaging play environment. This article will guide you through the exciting world ofĀ playground slides, helping you select the perfect one for your space and target age group.
Let's Slide into the Fun!
Here are some key factors to consider when selecting playground slides:
Age and Ability:Ā Younger children (toddlers and preschoolers) require shorter, gentler slides with easy-to-climb stairs or ramps. For older kids, taller spiral slides or wave slides can add a thrill factor. Consider the range of ages that will be using the playground and choose slides that cater to different abilities.
Slide Material:Ā Metal slides offer a classic, fast ride. However, they can get hot in the sun and may not be ideal for younger children. Plastic slides are a versatile option, offering smooth, cool surfaces in a variety of shapes and sizes. Kidzlet Play Structures uses high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, known for its durability and UV resistance, ensuring long-lasting fun under the sun.
Slide Design:Ā There's a slide design for every kind of adventurer! Straight slides offer a simple, fast descent. Wave slides add twists and turns for extra excitement. Spiral slides provide a thrilling, 360-degree experience. Consider the play value you want to create and choose slides that will spark imagination.
Choosing the Right Slide for Your Needs
Beyond the type ofĀ Outdoor Playground Slide, consider these factors when making your selection:
Age and Ability:Ā Toddlers will do best with gentle slopes and easy-to-climb ladders. For older children, you can introduce more challenging climbs and steeper descents.
Space Availability:Ā Measure your play area carefully to ensure the slide fits comfortably and allows for a safe landing zone.
Material:Ā Choose slides made from high-quality, durable materials like HDPE plastic that can withstand constant use and harsh weather conditions. Kidzlet Play Structures prioritizes safety and uses top-of-the-line materials in all our products.
Theming:Ā Consider incorporating the slide into your overall playground theme. We offer a variety of colors and designs to match your existing equipment or create a brand new look.
Safety First: Essential Considerations
Safety is paramount on any playground. When selecting a slide, prioritize these aspects:
Guardrails:Ā Slides for younger children should have sturdy guardrails along the climbing ladder to prevent falls.
Rounded Edges:Ā Look for slides with smooth, rounded edges to minimize the risk of scrapes. Kidzlet Play Structures ensures all our slides meet stringent safety standards.
Landing Zone:Ā The landing zone at the bottom of the slide should be clear and have a soft, shock-absorbing surface like mulch or rubber playground tiles.
Kidzlet Play Structures: Your Partner in Playground Fun
At Kidzlet Play Structures, we are passionate about creating playgrounds that foster imaginative play, physical development, and social interaction. We offer a comprehensive range ofĀ playground equipment, including slides, swings, climbers, and playhouses, all designed and manufactured with safety and fun in mind.

k-707 ( 2025 EDITION ) RELEASE - FIRST WAVE
It’s finally here! Well, the first part of it—because let’s be real, this beast of a project is too massive to drop all at once ( unless we suddenly gain the ability to compress/expand time ) ;)
For now, we’re rolling out the first wave of k-707, covering :
- Base Game/Seasons ( Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Newcrest ) - Get to Work ( Magnolia Promenade ) - Outdoor Retreat ( Granite Falls ) - Vampires ( Forgotten Hollow ) - Cottage Living ( Henford-on-Bagley ) - High School Years ( Copperdale ) - Life & Death ( Ravenwood )
Yes, we know ... you want more—but trust us, this is already a lot. The rest will come soon-ish ( don’t ask for dates, we’re not EA ) and as we say again and again, this is a work in progress, time for us to understand some more things with blender managing vertex painting and so on ;)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For everything related to instructions, how-to and so on, see the previous post or the "Download Page" of the k-707 on our website.
We replaced, reshaped, optimized, and obsessed over hundreds of trees and plants. Everything is optimized for directX11 ... Now, in theory, all should move right, look right, and fit right :D If you encounter a purple question mark on this new release, just send us a message. We'll see this together :)
Do not be surprised, some trees ( very very few ) are not yet modified ( -> I think about topiaries ) and some others have been fully replaced ( such as the ugly majestic and royal palms in base game )
Never forget this is still a work in progress and some changes will be done later ;)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As soon as we do some minor modifications and checks, we'll release a SECOND wave ( which should be very soon indeed )
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Later ( End of February ) a THIRD and final wave will be released ...
Tumblr media
Installation & Warnings
Each Expansion has 2 folders : one for plants, one for trees
The base game is split into 4 folders : 2 lots + 2 debug
Expansions with minimal greenery ( City Living, University, Get2Work ) are in single folder named k-hippie-k707-multi-greeny-2025
Do NOT mess with the folder structure unless you love chaos. If you merge files and something breaks, that’s on you. We won’t be able to troubleshoot Frankenstein mods ... More information on our website or into the previous post ;)
Final Notes
K-707 isn’t perfect ( yet ) :D We’re still tweaking, improving, and fixing things. We are aware some textures and styles need to be refined/modified. It will be done in time. But this is already a massive upgrade. So, enjoy your lusher, greener, better-integrated Sims world—and if you spot a tree acting weird, just pretend it’s haunted until we fix the green :D
Remember the k-mods are still and always free. Thanks to freely give a little something if you can. This is a massive piece of work and so, a massive piece of time ;)
If you think it’s good enough to drop our way : PayPal link
Tumblr media
...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > UPDATE ! February 25
We added few missing plants to the base game ( both lot & debug ) and some modifications to some plants ( azalea - hydrangea ) ... Some textures have been fixed. As we said, there will be adjustments and tiny updates. You know, a work in progress ;)
Tonight, a bit in advance, we release too :
k-707 ( 2025 ) for Sulani ( Island Living )
k-707 ( 2025 ) for Tomarang ( for Rent )
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We know the gameplay bug related to for rent expansion but we finished trees & plants for this expansion, so better to release :)
By the way, as Windenburg and Britechester, Sulani will get a small k-505 redux quite soon. It won't be huge but it will correct details here & there. That was the Sunday late news and releases. Have a great week everyone !
Sorry for the delays but real world got massive changes and I confess I didn't have time to make more k-707 stuff this time ...
See you soon fellows :)

2k follower gift: Casa de Tedeji 22 - a cc lot by moonwoodhollow It’s finally time for one of my favourite buildings I have done in a while; Casa de Tedeji 22! Casa de Tedeji 22Ā is a mostly unfurnished residential lot that is best placed in Ciudad Enamorada. This lot was inspired by the film Roma, and I hope you'll find it as charming as I do! This building consists of three different houses, and you could either have just one family living there, or you could fill all three houses with families and watch the drama unfold. Either way, I hope you have fun with this lot & thank you again, for 2k followers!
More screenshots, info + download link under the cut!
Building background
As someone who's never been to Mexico, I still wanted to create a somewhat realistic building for Ciudad Enamorada that perfectly fits into the world.
The house that I first thought of, was the 'main' house in which most of the plot of the film Roma by Alfonso Cuarón took place. Even though I watched the film some time ago I often kept thinking back to the house and the architecture of Mexico City in the 70s. So I looked up the filming locations and found out that the house actually still exists, you can read about more here and here if you're interested.
Tumblr media
While building I obviously changed a few things from the original structure, because I did not want to recreate the house entirely, as I didn't have too many inside-the-house photos, so I went to googlemaps and got inspired by the neighbouring houses and that's how this building or these three buildings came to be!
So what do you get?
Case de Tedeji 22 is a 30x20 residential build best placed in Ciudad Enamorada on the Mansión de la Pasión lot. It probably could also work on other lots, but it looks best on that one. The lot is unfurnished, meaning I only added the outdoor decor but kept the houses completely unfurnished except for flooring and wallpaper + a floorplan for each house.
house one: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a fenced-in garden
house two: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a balcony, courtyard
house three: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 ensuite), rooftop space
If you own For Rent, you could change the lot type to residential rental, but obviously, even without that pack, you could play with up to 8 sims/three families on this lot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Uses items from the following packs:Ā I will update this, once I hop back into game, but I own almost all packs.
Download:Ā Google Drive(195 MB)Ā | Also up on the gallery:Ā aeromanticaĀ (but you’ll need the cc files from the Drive folder!)
Is the CC included?Ā Yes.
A BIG THANK YOUĀ to all the CC-creators, without their creations, I wouldn’t have been able to build this!
TOU: Please don’t claim as your own or put behind paywalls etc. If you find any issues (wrong/missing files, etc.) please let me know +Ā tag me if you’ll use the building, I’d love to see it in your games.
If you like what I do and want to show your appreciation, I have aĀ ko-fi!

A guide to chiss fashion
Alright, it’s finally done. I’ve managed to compile my headcanons in a format I’m more or less happy with so say hello to the chiss fashion guide. As I’ve said before, this is a homage to my love for fashion history and fashion illustration books so it’s written in the same(ish) kind of style, with made-up history and trivia behind it.
Mind you this isn’t about what your regular civilians wear – I can’t even begin to imagine what the spectrum of current fashion looks like for a species spread over multiple planets, that’s too much of a tall order.
Instead I’ll talk about what I imagine as ā€˜standard traditional wear’. A kind of traditional ensemble for formal occasions which is also the accepted dress code for the upper ruling classes and administration. The books give us many indications of how hung up the chiss are on rank so I imagine their fashion reflects that accordingly, with dress codes and etiquette and whatnot.
So without further ado, let’s start with structure.
Tumblr media
The typical traditional ensemble consists of: underwear (plus any additional thermal underlayers), an underrobe, outerwrap robe, jacket (optional, mostly decorative) and top robe or coat (not pictured) for more severe weather and outdoor activities.
First we have the underwear layer (1) with a wraparound robe which can be long or short depending on the season, breeches and any other additional thermal layers underneath.
Next comes the underrobe (2) with a high buttoned collar and fitted sleeves. A slit starts at around chest level and ends in the usual overlap pattern at the ankles. This hem is often embroidered and is meant to be visible under the outerwrap robe.
This robe is also what I imagine is used as lounge wear at home (sometimes accompanied by a lounge robe) or as an outer layer in warmer climates and casual settings, though it’s usually decorated with accessories to make up for how plain it is. Some underrobes, especially padded styles for colder weather, have a waist string to pull excess material in in preparation for the layers to come.
Underrobes for low ranking administration are traditionally red, symbolizing specific qualities, but more on color symbolism later.
Then we have the outerwrap robe (3) with its flared bottom and sleeves which are also typically decorated. The outermost edge of the hem is important here because that’s where the trim that shows family allegiance goes.
These robes are closed with a pair of strings (usually at waist level but may be higher or lower depending on current trends) and the kind of knot used varies depending on social standing and occupation, again, a reflection of how classist the chiss are in my mind. For lower class administration, in case the knot is obscured by a decorative item (like a jacket or scarf), the item is required to have strings of its own where the knot can be duplicated.
Tumblr media
The next part of the outfit is the jacket (4) which also varies in style depending on the wearer’s rank. A popular style for low ranking administrators is a waist or thigh level boxy cut with rectangular sleeves that don’t cover the embroidered hems of the robe under it.
Jackets can have individual trims and even small lapels. Structured shoulders and wide lapels are inappropriate as they’re reserved for upper level Aristocra.
Despite their popularity, these jackets aren’t a practical item since their cut provides little insulation and they prevent the use of garments like top robes and coats. Because of this they are either meant to be taken off or worn with cloak-like outer layers outdoors.
Fashion, especially that of the high class, is rarely all practical so I think it’s neat to include elements that are less functional and more so trendy, decorative or appropriate.
This goes in the opposite direction as well and I imagine there being plenty of modern modifications like hidden zippers for easier donning and a variety of false hems, cuffs and collars to minimize layering, making the outfits more functional.
As long as the overall silhouette and main elements are retained, the outfit is considered appropriate though more formal events are usually attended in proper full traditional wear.
Next we have accessories.
Tumblr media
The most common ways to accessorize in traditional ensembles are scarves, jewelry, fans, and a variety of trims. Scarves are normally worn between layers and can be used to cover up the open hole at the neck in colder settings. The long sleeves make bracelets impractical but earrings and necklaces are hugely popular. Handheld fans are also a stylish way to elevate the outfit and different kinds of trims like feather and fur are used in less formal settings.
With all that in mind a complete outfit ends up looking something like (5).
Moving on to Syndics:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(traditional silhouette and some images of syndics to show the range of variety available to them)
With Syndics we start to see the appearance of structured shoulders (a strictly upper class element) and more extravagant lapels, particularly in jackets. Still no structured collars however as these are reserved for Patriarchs. Jackets, in contrast to those worn by lower ranking administrators, are longer and made of soft, flowing fabrics like silk, with the goal being to show off expensive materials and dyes (hence rich colors and light silky textures).
Proper etiquette regarding underrobes and outerwrap robes remains the same with one exception being the waist knot: higher ranking syndics aren’t required to replicate the knot if it’s covered by an overgarment or accessory (a syndic’s status is obvious from other elements of their outfit).
In general Syndics are the echelon with the most freedom when it comes to their fashion. With the exception of some traditional elements, there’s more room for variation in accessories, cuts and combinations: Low ranking Administrators need to follow a stricter dress code while Patriarchs are limited by the need to project a certain image so you see the most variety in the fashion of Syndics, the only exception being extremely formal events and ceremonies where the traditional silhouette is a must.
Tumblr media
(Syndic Zistalmu with a more personalized interpretation of the traditional structured shoulders.)
And finally, there’s Patriarchs.
Patriarchs, in my mind, have the strictest and most elaborate dress code. Their outfits retain the most traditional elements so they’re like a walking museum piece in, sometimes literally because many of the pieces they wear are hereditary and come from famous artisans.
With Patriarchs we see floor-length jackets, very wide lapels, often with opulent linings like patterned velvet, structured collars (attached to the jacket separately), decorative skirts, silk undergarments and elaborate headwear. In addition, their outerwrap robes fasten with two twin knots rather than one.
Tumblr media
Most if not all of these elements are strictly reserved for Patriarchs so they’re instantly recognizable.
The jackets are both long-sleeved and sleeveless depending on how lavish the robe underneath is and the wearer’s desire to show it off.
The separately attached collars are distinct and were originally meant to demonstrate proper posture, fitting best when the wearer was standing or sitting upright. Their rigidity and restrictiveness has decreased over time but they still serve to highlight the wearer’s stance.
The collars are the only element I think I’m willing to allow for Patriels as well, albeit I imagine them a bit more understated. I’m still in two minds about the rest.
For Patriarchs, the top of the white underwear robe is also visible above the underrobe collar – normally underwear garments are supposed to be concealed but these robes were given tall necklines to prevent chafing to the neck from the structured collars worn on top. In order to do that they were made from fine silk which eventually became a status symbol, both because of the expensive material and the fact that they were used in combination with structured collars and nowadays the high collar of the robe is visible at the neck.
The overskirt (pictured above and fastened with strings) is the most traditional element of the ensemble. It’s become obscure in other ranks and is distinctive as a result. The pleating is meant to demonstrate an abundance of fabric, usually heavy patterned or embroidered velvets, and I imagine these pieces to be especially heavy. Its only purpose is for layering and decoration.
Somewhat counterintuitively, Patriarch robes have less lavish lower hems (absent the usual flared shape and no trailing fabrics) to allow for ease of movement and compensate for the extra weight added by the rest of a Partiarch’s accessories. And when I say these outfits are heavy, I mean heavy.
Ceremonial robes in particular are notoriously a nightmare to wear and require practice and a good bit of stamina.
Tumblr media
(ceremonial robes)
In terms of curiosities, the Stybla are an interesting case both because their Patriarch is allowed to wear ruling family regalia despite not being one of the nine and because they preserve some older elements in their garments from the time they were the only ruling family. Like the gold pin with their family crest, attached to the lapel. The curled hair style and ā€˜sun’ style headpiece are also elements that go in and out of Patriarch fashion but the Stybla stick to them because that’s the style that was prevalent in their heyday.
All of this is for the purpose of projecting the image of an innocuous quaint old family that still clings to its ā€˜faded’ glory.
Now for headdresses. There’s three main styles of headdress, labelled ā€˜moon, ā€˜planet’ and ā€˜sun’ accordingly. The main circular elements are meant to display family crests and can have various additional accessories attached to them like chains and ornaments.
Tumblr media
I imagine there used to be more styles, at one point as many as the ruling families, but in time as fashions shifted they boiled down to the three main ones. These are usually worn with the traditional long hairstyles that all patriarchs conform to and are attached using a system of clips and pins to the topknot at the back.
The hairstyle itself is known as the ā€˜waterfall’ style, inspired by a classical style of sculpture.
Pictured below is a ceremonial style headpiece which are only worn at the most formal traditional ceremonies.
Tumblr media
In general, these headdresses are somewhat unwieldly and unstable if the wearer moves too suddenly. This is again intentional as similarly to the collars restricting posture, it’s meant to restrict movement to ā€˜slow’ and ā€˜deliberate’.
And finally we have color symbolism
This is something I imagine as very important for no other reason than it gives me another fun element to play around with so let’s get into it.
In general, a chiss outfit is mainly made up of cool colors and a few warmer highlights though that can sometimes be flipped depending on the wearer’s preference or current trends. Overall there’s a preference for cooler colors and those close to the chiss’ natural coloration (skin and eyes) which also has biological reasoning but more on that later.
Most importantly, colors have culturally established symbolic associations, meaning the wearer can choose qualities they want to emphasize through their choice of color. This is often done through statement pieces to make the choice stand out, such as: eye catching clothing items or accessories, wear frequency, color predomination, etc. Often times the colors don’t reflect the wearer’s true qualities but rather the image they’re trying to project.
Because of the complexity of this system, most Aristocra rely on tailors and stylists to construct their outfits (and by extension public image) for them.
There’s also the so called ā€˜military colors’ (black and white) which are reserved for the army and navy and are only used as highlights in non-military contexts or by off-duty members of the military:
Tumblr media
(General Ba'kif depicted in military colors with Stybla teal, decorative fan and robe trimming)
Colors are divided into ā€˜cardinal colors’ with long established traditional meaning and secondary ones whose meaning is fluid and depends on current trends. The cardinal color symbols are as follows:
Blue – order, duty, perseverance Red – passion, diligence, honor Purple – firmness, reliability Magenta – innovation, farsightedness, creativity, individuality, self-assurance Green – steadfastness, calm, security Orange – boldness, confrontation, certainty in battle Yellow – vitality, energy, enthusiasm Black – stability White – prestige, perfection, glory
(In chiss culture, light blue is a separate color from dark blue. The blue referred to here is what is commonly referred to as dark blue.)
Sometimes colors can be divorced from traditional meanings like when they’re used to denote family allegiance or as secondary colors meant to just compliment a palette. The color symbolism system is also all but irrelevant for the general public where trends and personal preferences take priority.
It still carries a lot of weight in the upper classes, however. For example, low ranking administrators are expected to wear red underrobes to symbolize their dedication and diligence.
An example of how colors can be used to make a political statement is Patriarch Thurfian, who upon being promoted to his post adopted a color palette of blue, purple and green to indicate a stable, orderly and traditional rule as opposed to Thooraki’s more maverick politics and preference for warm reds, yellows and magentas.
Tumblr media
(Patriarch Thurfian in characteristic blue palette with 'moon' style headdress and purple collar. The jacket is sleeveless, showing off the decoration of the outerwrap robe sleeves.)
Overall, there are many ways to use color to indicate meaning. Warm vibrant colors are in general a bold choice so they’re seen as more of a statement, like for example a bright yellow scarf.
Syndic Thrass favored a bright magenta jacket with wide short-cut sleeves to emphasize his charisma. Zistalmu is an example of a more fashion-forward choice with a predominantly maroon color palette, a secondary color with fluctuating meaning. Colors can also underline subtle family and political allegiances, like Ba’kif wearing teal (a color traditionally associated with the Stybla) as a highlight color off duty.
Lastly, biology also plays a part in color preference, albeit a minor one. (Disclaimer, I’m not a biologist so take this section with a grain of salt.)
Unlike humans, chiss are tetrachromats, meaning they have four types of light-sensitive cone cells in their eyes. In addition to the cones most sensitive to short (blue), medium (green) and long (red) wavelengths, the ones found in humans, they also have ones that respond to the infrared spectrum, giving them their infrared vision.
They also, unlike humans, have a higher number of blue sensitive cones and a very low number of red sensitive ones. This is because even before Csilla’s shift to a cooler climate, the flora and fauna of their world had predominantly blue pigmentation, the same pigment that gives them their skin color, which is the main evolutionary reason for their sensitivity to blue.
This imbalance is somewhat made up for by their infrared receptors, as infrared is next to red on the spectrum, but the low number of red sensitive cones means they’re not as sensitive to shades of orange and yellow.
Despite this, they still use these colors in their wardrobe (albeit less frequently and with less variety) and the rarity itself has contributed to the specialness of their meaning. Red in particular has proved itself an enduring staple because of its presence in the color palette of natural chiss pigmentation.
The rarity of these colors could also explain why they’re assigned traditionally less desirable virtues in the color symbolism system.

I’ve also toyed with the idea that the bioluminescent properties of their eyes interfere with the natural perception of colors (much like a red filter) which has led to an adaptation where the brain filters out the excess light in the red spectrum, making them even less sensitive to different shades of red and its adjacent colors. It’s an adaptation similar to that which allows most species to filter out constant monotonous background noise to aid hearing.
But that’s another thing I’m in two minds about as it complicates things further and I’m not too sure of the biological mechanics of it.

Tumblr media
Pile 1 šŸ’£
Where would u know them from ???
You already know this person—it’s someone with whom you’ve shared proximity and an established connection. They could be someone you’ve encountered at a mall or a store you frequent, a neighbor, or even someone you’ve connected with through an online platform. Alternatively, you may have crossed paths during a competitive activity, particularly one that challenges the mind, or through something like a dance class.
The type of person they are
From the traits described, you should have a strong sense of who this is. Their astrological energy leans toward Gemini, Aquarius, Aries, or Capricorn. This person blends practicality with risk-taking, displaying a dual nature—versatile yet confident, with perhaps a touch of a ā€œgod complex.ā€ They embody two distinct polarities: stoic yet sociable, intelligent and charismatic, serious yet playful. Their personality suits an entrepreneurial or business-driven environment, where their bold, goal-oriented mindset thrives. They uphold their standards, balance open-mindedness with structure, and can shift from hardworking and focused to relaxed and engaging in social settings.
How they look
This person commands attention with a strong, unmistakable presence. They have a vibrant energy and often appear radiant, with a healthy, glowing look that might even be sun-kissed. They present themselves well, keeping a clean and polished appearance. They likely wear subtle but striking jewelry, and if they’re a woman, they may enjoy wearing makeup. Their physique is toned and fit, with long limbs (not necessarily tall but well-proportioned). Their features are striking—perhaps a sharp jawline or a distinctive nose—that naturally draws attention. You may find yourself admiring their appearance, catching glimpses or even stealing glances. Despite their striking looks, some may misinterpret their demeanor as aloof or unapproachable, though they’re not intimidating in reality.
Next actionsšŸ˜
If your connection is currently platonic, they may be holding back from taking things to a deeper level. This hesitation likely stems from their practicality and a desire to avoid creating complications. They may prioritize their career or financial stability over advancing the relationship for now, carefully weighing the risks. However, there’s a clear desire to move closer—they’re just holding themselves back, talking themselves out of it. With time, their confidence might override their caution, and you could see them making those long-awaited advances.
Pile 2 šŸ‘°šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
Where would u know them from ???
You might know this person through a religious or spiritual environment, such as a place of worship, a religious gathering, or even through dreams if you haven’t met them in waking life. There’s a strong sense of connection to a religious school or institution—for example, a Catholic all-girls or all-boys school—or a similar setting that combines education and spirituality. Alternatively, you may have encountered them in an outdoor environment or a space where you feel fully comfortable being yourself. This meeting could have even taken place in a foreign country or during travel, adding an element of the unfamiliar yet significant.
The type of person they are
Their personality is bold and unforgettable. They have a flair for being the center of attention and love making their presence known. This person may come across as a bit arrogant or cocky, often speaking with hand gestures and exuding confidence. They have a dual nature, sometimes introspective and focused, other times commanding and directive—though not necessarily with bad intentions. Their personality can be polarizing, even problematic at times, as they might speak loudly or use strong, decisive words. However, they possess a brilliant, creative mind, excelling at thinking outside the box and solving problems in innovative ways.
How they look
Physically, they have notable and unique features. Their face may be round or soft, lacking prominent cheekbones, with a long nose and possibly a high forehead. They might be bald or have hair that draws attention in some way. Their lips stand out—either full and kissable, with a bottom lip slightly larger than the top, or narrow and distinctive. Their movements are graceful and deliberate, with delicate, well-kept hands that seem soft or gentle. They carry themselves with good posture and often wear clothing that is eye-catching or distinctive, making them stand out wherever they go.
Next actionsšŸ˜
When it comes to approaching you, this person may hold back, preferring to test your interest by seeing if you will make the first move. They seem to enjoy playing hard to get, adding a layer of challenge to their already dynamic and intriguing presence. Patience and persistence might be required to break through their carefully maintained exterior.
Pile 3šŸ•¶ļø
Where would u know them from ???
You might know this person through graduate school, your workplace, or another professional environment. They could also be connected to a prestigious institution, a social event, or even a facility where formal contracts or paperwork are involved, such as a dealership. There’s also a possibility you’ve met them through family or while traveling. Their connection to your life feels grounded yet multifaceted, with ties to both professional and personal realms.
The type of person they are
This person has an introverted side and may prefer spending time alone. In public or while engaging in activities, they might rush through things, giving off an air of confidence that can sometimes come across as awkward or ā€œcringeā€ to outsiders. Despite this, they possess a genuine and caring nature. They may enjoy spending time with children or engaging in activities that involve creativity and hands-on work, such as crafting, playing an instrument, or other hobbies that require skill and focus. They’re likely a risk-taker, innovative in their thinking, and someone who finds joy in life’s simple pleasures. However, they may also have escapist tendencies, avoiding conflict or running from problems rather than addressing them directly. For some, their hobbies might include knitting or other calming, detailed activities.
How they look
Their appearance is striking, with a stern, serious expression that gives them a no-nonsense demeanor—they’re not someone you’d often catch smiling. They may always have something in their hands, whether it’s an object related to their work, a hobby, or even an instrument. They tend to layer their clothing, and their style could lean toward dark, gothic, or unconventional, with an overall aura that feels mysterious or intense. Their clothing might appear expensive or thoughtfully chosen, enhancing their commanding presence. Physically, they could be tall—over six feet, regardless of gender—and have distinct features such as sharp canine teeth, a beard, and wavy or curly hair. Their appearance has an unconventional yet captivating quality that naturally draws attention.
Next actionsšŸ˜
This person will definitely make an effort to connect with you. They’ve already moved past their doubts or hesitations and feel confident about approaching you. Their initial approach will likely be friendly and casual, focused on building a foundation of friendship first. They seem to want to establish trust and comfort before taking things further, creating a dynamic that feels natural and grounded. This connection is destined to unfold, with their initiative setting things into motion.
Pile 4 🐢
Where would u know them from ???
You likely know this person from an outdoor environment, perhaps during recreational activities or a lighthearted setting where children are present—like a music event, hobby group, or after-school music facility. They could also be connected to travel, possibly overseas, or through unique and unforeseen circumstances, such as an unusual encounter or a family introduction. For some, you may have met this person in a testing facility or even a library, as those settings strongly come through.
The type of person they are
Astrologically, they could have a water moon, suggesting they are intuitive, empathetic, and possibly spiritual. They have mastered emotional self-control, which allows them to detach from their feelings when necessary. If their Venus conjuncts their moon, they possess a natural charm and an effortless ability to attract what they want. Luck seems to follow them, and you may notice things tend to go their way. They likely have an active imagination and might lean toward being very organized or slightly OCD. They could have a love for animals, especially dogs, and an interest in taboo subjects like astrology or esoteric knowledge. They’re independent, confident walking their own path, and unafraid of solitude.
How they look
Their physical appearance is striking and alluring. They likely have a toned, well-defined body with muscles that are visibly sculpted. If they’re a woman, their figure is notable, with perky breasts that are medium to large. They may wear their hair up, with it being long and flowing when let down. Their skin tone could range from fair with a pink undertone to olive, golden, or red undertones, often with flushed cheeks that may result naturally or from wearing blush. Their hands might show signs of labor, suggesting they’re hands-on in their work or hobbies.
This person’s body is captivating, the kind of beauty you’d expect to see immortalized in art. They might wear fewer clothes or subtly show off their best features, yet they also embrace flowy, loose garments like long dresses or skirts. They exude both an ethereal, angelic aura and a dark, seductive allure—an irresistible mix of ā€œangel meets devilā€ energy. Their appearance often tempts others, as they seem to embody both masculine and feminine qualities. For women, their clothing may accentuate their chest, sometimes revealing just enough to draw attention.
Next actionsšŸ˜
This person is likely to approach you and take a leap of faith. They’ll do so in a positive, cheerful, and perhaps slightly nervous way, reminiscent of a childlike innocence. They may hesitate or second-guess themselves at first, pulling back before ultimately deciding to step forward and engage. Their approach feels genuine and heartfelt, though their emotions may run deep if they’re met with rejection.
Pile 5 ā˜”ļø
Where would u know them from ???
You may have dreamed about this person or found yourself thinking of them even before coming across this post. There’s a strong sense that you’ve already met this person in a romantic context—perhaps during a movie with romantic undertones or on a day when you felt particularly romantic. It’s possible you’ve already been physically close, touched, or even shared intimacy. Your connection feels established, with spiritual undertones that suggest a soul tie or a deep mutual understanding. The chemistry between you two is undeniable, and you seem to complement each other well. This meeting could have occurred at a religious institution, a temple, or even during Valentine’s Day—or perhaps it’s yet to happen around that time. You might have met outdoors, at a store, or during a special event in February.
The type of person they are
This person is likely spiritual and could be into astrology or other esoteric studies. They have a natural balance between masculine and feminine energies, making them both persuasive and seductive. They are self-aware and poised, often presenting themselves as emotionally detached or controlled. They might have a habit of speaking in riddles, withholding full truths, or even occasionally instigating situations—but these traits stem from their complexity rather than malice. They are deeply introspective, often minding their own business and staying in tune with themselves, with a possible gift for psychic or intuitive insight.
How they look
Physically, this person may have wavy to curly hair and could wear noticeable accessories like large earrings or gauges. They might enjoy being barefoot and carry an approachable, intriguing energy that invites curiosity. Their build is average, and they likely aren’t overly focused on their appearance. They may have an unconventional or unique feature that adds to their allure. This person could be foreign or have a distinctive story that sets them apart from others. There’s a strong connection to animals—they might own multiple pets, including exotic or unconventional ones, or even live on a farm. Their aesthetic or demeanor hints at a spiritual lifestyle, possibly including yoga or meditation. They may have tattoos, colored hair, or accessories in their hair, with skin tones that could range widely but might include grayish or yellowish undertones.
Next actionsšŸ˜
This person seems to be contemplating approaching you, with a genuine desire to connect. They may hesitate at first, thinking it over carefully before making a move, but their intention to engage with you is clear.

Pools and Honey
Tumblr media
18+ viewer discretion is advised
fem!reader/Kento Nanami Warnings: reader has a temperature kink, pool .. fondling? outdoor sex but it's in his backyard, creampie, grinding, fondling, intense sexual tension, Nanami is the consent king, praise, dilf!Nanami, there is like a twenty year age gap, Nanami is divorced and also wears glasses again :P, Yuji and Sukuna are his kids, fluff, there is plot to this porn Word count: 4857 DESC: You become the live-in maid and babysitter for the hot dilf Kento Nanami.
I have a Ko-Fi now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm super excited :3 I've already uploaded some content and I'll make sure to get you guys well-fed! And PLEASE send me requests I have no ideas!
You got a match. It had been several days since you had put your resume up on a babysitting website, in hopes of someone swiping yes on you. All you needed was somebody to say ā€œYes of course watch my child, you stranger!ā€ But it wasn’t looking good. You wanted to give up and continue going to your dead-end job, giving up your dream of raising children in hopes of being a good mother someday.Ā 
But then you got a match. It was a man older than you, about his forties, with two young boys. He was polite in his message, detailing how pay would work even the boys’ temperament. They were twins, ages 7. Ryomen and Yuji. Yuji was a blessing to the world with a habit of forgetting stranger danger, whereas Ryomen seemed to be … spunky as his dad put it. You knew it was another word for a problem child. They looked adorable in their photos, although you found yourself staring more at their father than anything else.Ā 
Kento Nanami… From the way he dressed in that selfie with him and his boys, the background of a few other photos, and the pay he was offering you could tell he was rich. A rich dilf who was offering a higher salary than what you were getting at your current job. It made your mouth water thinking about how all your bills would be paid.Ā 
Then you got to read his message more. It was polite and well-structured, with good grammar. Formal, a bit too formal if you thought about it but you didn’t mind. He was looking for a live-in maid and babysitter, who could watch his children 24/7 without hesitation.Ā 
He wanted you to move in? Well not entirely. He wanted to ease into the live-in maid situation and get the boys accustomed to you. If the first meet-up didn’t work you knew there wouldn’t be any hope for the future. It wasn’t looking too grim, and you were elated at the thought of living in a big house for free with a rich older man. You shot him back a simple reply and soon the date was set to meet the Nanami’s.
It was hard to pick out what to wear and you decided on something more conservative than you’d typically go for. It was about the boys today and you wanted to make sure you didn’t scare off their father either by dressing too scandalously. You wore a big black turtleneck and some loose-fitting jeans, all to cover your figure.Ā 
Walking up the steps of his house it was hard to stare. Ivory walls that shot up off the ground and about three stories from what you could gauge. Who really needed all of that house? No one! Nonetheless, you quickly moved through the driveway and the maze of plants, approaching the front door. It was black with a large gold doorknob. Inside you heard nothing with no sign of life from the outside of the house either. But once you touched the ring doorbell, because of course what rich person doesn’t have that, you saw lights flick on. Not just lights but you heard a loud crash, followed by clambering to get to the door.Ā 
Two boys, you knew it. There was some commotion between the two of them before you heard a man’s deep and soothing voice break their tension, followed by a ā€œYes Dadā€ from the boys. God, he looked and sounded hot? You were completely and utterly done for. Dating your boss was a complete no in this field, something you knew from experience. But you couldn't help it! You had a type. Dilfs.Ā 
The door opened and you were met with a man who you soon realized was much taller than you anticipated. He was blonde, hollow cheekbones filled his face, and he stared at you with dead tired eyes. Kento, as you remembered, had on the same pair of thick aviator glasses that were perched upon his thin nose. He wore a simple outfit of a button-up shirt and some slacks, and you noticed a fancy watch on the wrist of the hand he moved to shake yours with.Ā 
ā€œIt’s a pleasure to meet you,ā€ he spoke politely, not bothering to gaze at you as intensely as you were staring at him. You reminded yourself to blink and you quickly returned his handshake, trying not to grip him too firmly.Ā 
ā€œIt’s a pleasure to meet you two, Mr. Nanami. I’m very excited to meet Yuji and Ryomen,ā€ you smiled, tilting your head a bit. You mainly did that to see a bit of the inside better, and to gauge where the boys were.Ā 
You heard another loud crash and Kento retracted his hand, turning his head to find where the noise was coming from, ā€œSpeak of the devil. Boys,ā€ he warned, his voice edging a faint shout. You heard some scrambling and you saw two of the cutest boys in the world scurry up to their father.Ā 
You could instantly tell who was who, even though they were practically identical. Yuji had wide eyes full of wonder, with a green dinosaur shirt on and pink spiky hair pushed downwards against his forehead. His cheeks were plump and fat, bouncing upwards into a smile when he saw you. Then there was Ryomen. He looked agitated, with his hair spiked upwards and a plain black shirt adorned on his small body. He looked at you for a moment and his eyes widened before he averted his gaze quickly.Ā 
ā€œIt’s so nice to meet you,ā€ you turned your attention to the both of them, bending down and resting your hands on your knees to meet their eye level. You spoke your name and then smiled, first at the boy who wasn’t looking at you, ā€œYou’re Ryomen, right? I like your hair. My brother likes to make his all messy like that too.ā€Ā 
The little boy looked back at you with a sheepish expression, before nodding, ā€œS’nothing,ā€ was all he said, looking over to his brother. It was as if he expected Yuji to be the center of attention once you were done talking to him and you felt your heart squeeze. You knew why. Problem children never got looked at the same as well-behaved children, especially if the two were side by side. From the way Ryomen looked at you, he knew you’d become busy with Yuji. He was always cast aside, compared to his brother, probably even ridiculed for it. All he needed was attention. And it didn’t seem Yuji cared if you paid attention to him either way, as he was now busy trying to get his father to pick him up.Ā 
ā€œYuji, why don’t you say hi to your babysitter?ā€ Kento asked blankly, his voice remaining flat as he spoke.Ā 
Yuji glanced at you and waved, smiling widely, ā€œHi!ā€ Before turning back to his dad and making grabby hands.Ā 
You smiled and waved back, turning your head to Ryomen again, ā€œIs your favorite color black? Mine’s dark red, it’s kinda similar if you think about it,ā€ you spoke calmly and delicately, in a way you knew he hadn’t experienced very often.Ā 
He nodded, cracking a toothy smile, ā€œMhm. And green. I like green … cause it’s like leaves,ā€ Ryomen motioned to the plants behind you.Ā 
Kento cleared his throat and you gazed back at him, ā€œWhy don’t you come inside? Make yourself comfortable.ā€ You nodded and followed suit, coming inside.Ā 
Yuji and Ryomen played on the floor, wrestling around or using their action figures. You sat on the couch a few feet away from their gorgeous father, who spoke occasionally to you. You thought it would go a bit differently, with more questions on your qualifications or your flexibility. But instead, he seemed to be observing how you acted with his children. The boys seemed instantly comfortable, Yuji it wasn’t surprising, but for Ryomen, you felt slightly surprised. From the way he was described, you were expecting a boy who was too bratty to even look at you respectfully. Instead, he was polite and soft-spoken. Every time he accidentally stepped on your foot or chucked a toy in your direction he’d apologize quickly and go back to doing his activity, nothing malicious about him.Ā 
ā€œThey’re cute,ā€ you murmured, getting lost in just watching them be kids. God your ovaries just hurt at the sight of them, it made you wonder why it was taking you so long to find someone to settle down with. Well maybe…
You shook your head. No. You couldn’t date your boss, especially with his kids in the mix. Not to mention, he probably had a wife. This big of a house, and with his looks? There was no way he was single. He had to be married and you let out a sigh as you accepted this dilf was out of reach.Ā 
ā€œThey’re very comfortable with you. With the last babysitter, they were too shy,ā€ Kento nodded as he spoke, using his left hand to motion to his kids. You glanced and your heart sped up. He didn’t have a ring. His hand was completely bare aside from the watch. Was he actually single? There was no way in hell he was single.Ā 
ā€œI’m glad. Ryomen’s such a sweetheart and so is Yuji, of course,ā€ a small smile bit on your lips as you watched the two boys wrestle around on the floor without a care in the world. God they were cute and god did your uterus hurt.Ā 
ā€œPeople don’t typically say that about Ryomen,ā€ he sighed, pressing his index finger against the middle of his glasses to push them up, ā€œI’m glad to hear something different for once.ā€
It was sad but you knew it was true. Before you could reply, Kento spoke again, ā€œI think I want to hire you right away as a full-time maid, if you’re willing to accept. I have a good feeling about this.ā€
Tumblr media
You quickly learned the status of your boss's romance life after overhearing a few too many phone calls. He was divorced with a wife who had a thing for younger men. They’d often talk on the phone in a way that made your skin crawl. So tense and so passive-aggressive. You picked up the fact that she must’ve cheated or done something to push him over the edge, but none of it was confirmed.Ā 
The boys would spend every weekend with their mother and whatever boyfriend she had then. He didn’t mind being alone with you, he seemed to enjoy it. Kento would speak casually about a book he was reading, or just about something random that had happened to him that day. As if he was a friend or polite coworker, rather than your actual boss. It didn’t help either that your attraction for him grew. Every time his hand would accidentally brush against yours or his eyes would graze against your skin, you felt yourself become as light as a feather.Ā 
You wanted to feel his cold hands rake up and down your body, grabbing you in ways you knew he never would. You wanted to feel him become hard underneath your touch and revel in the fact you could make such a man bend to your will. But you had no hopes of him ever liking you like that. His glances were long, sure, but very PG. You never caught him once staring at your ass or a bit of cleavage through your shirt. His eyes were always on your face, with a polite faint smile ghosting his lips.Ā 
Today was Saturday. The two young boys were gone and it was you and Kento alone, sitting on his long white couch. He was a few feet across from you, legs casually crossed as he read some book you weren’t too familiar with. It was growing increasingly hot in the room and you couldn’t tell if it was your hormones or the fact the AC hadn’t been lowered in a few hours. It was almost summer so the fact it was getting warmer wasn’t too surprising. It was maybe mid-afternoon, with the sun shining through his back screen door.Ā 
You had eyed it for a long time before even asking him about the pool in the back. He didn’t typically use it as you soon learned, instead opting to sit and read. Always read. But it felt different. You tugged at the collar of your shirt and made some comment about how it was becoming too hot to handle.Ā 
Kento’s eyes glanced from one of the pages to your face, before setting down the book on his lap, ā€œYou’re hot?ā€ He raised an eyebrow as he spoke.Ā 
You nodded, ā€œI might grab some ice to eat if that’s okay,ā€ you motioned to the kitchen in the other room, separated by a half wall.Ā 
ā€œYou can go swimming,ā€ he suggested, nodding his head over to the glass door, ā€œIt’ll cool you down.ā€ A different look filled your boss’s eye as he then added, ā€œI’ll join you.ā€
With that, Kento stood up and headed upstairs to his room. The way he looked at you wasn’t the same as it had always been. You couldn’t tell if it was just a playful glance or perhaps a lustful gleam filling his eyes. You couldn’t tell if he wanted this evening to turn into something more than just a casual swim in his pool.Ā 
You weren’t sure which bathing suit to wear. You had a suit you’d wear in front of your family, it was a red one-piece that practically covered everything. But if it was going where you thought it was going you didn’t want to cover up. Instead, you opted for a pink two-piece with ribbons and bows on the sides. It was cute and innocent, the total opposite of your mind at that moment. God you could just picture his big hands on your ass, grinding you against the bulge in his pants while you two stayed in the water. It turned you on to think of how warm he’d be in contrast to the icy cool water against your skin. And you hoped he’d stare at you with some ounce of perversion in his gaze. Some ounce of pure unbridled lust.Ā 
Once you finished changing and put your hair up into something you considered fashionable, you made your way onto the back patio. It didn’t take you very long to find Kento sitting poolside, with his legs in the water. God just the sight of his back was enough to make the tender spot between your legs melt. He was toned and muscular, practically sculpted by god. You wanted so desperately to run your hands down his back and up his front, just tracing each muscle to feel him squirm.Ā 
ā€œKento,ā€ you began, closing the screen door behind you. He turned his head and let his dull eyes rake up your body ever so slowly. There was a new kind of tension that wasn’t there the day you first met. It was as if he was looking at you from a whole new lens. It was as if he finally thought he had a chance.Ā 
ā€œI like it. Is it new?ā€ He inquired, motioning with his right hand for you to sit beside him. You followed quietly, making sure to keep a few inches of space in between you two as you perched beside the pool and felt the cold water run up your legs.Ā 
You bit your lip at the sensation of prickling cold and closed your eyes. Who wasn’t into a bit of temperature play, right? You had completely forgotten to answer Nanami, getting lost in the sensation of cold water against your skin. The mixture of that and the fact you could practically feel the warmth radiating off of your boss made you wetter beyond belief.Ā 
He cleared his throat and you looked at him through rows of thick eyelashes, ā€œHm?ā€ Your head lazily tilted to the side, with a hazy blush forming at the temples of your cheeks. He was godly. His chest was made from the finest of marble and cut just to suit your perverted gaze. It made him seem unnaturally beautiful if that was even possible.Ā 
ā€œI like your bathing suit,ā€ Kento repeated, with his voice turning to a silky low tone. You could practically hear him groaning and moaning in your ear.Ā 
You nodded and turned away, staring down into the blue water. It was so clear you could see the bottom below you, which was painted a stark white. You could also see Kento’s legs, which were (just like his back) completely toned and rippled with muscles.Ā 
ā€œI like yours,ā€ you replied before dipping down into the water. You bit back a moan at the incredibly cold feeling shooting up your back and in between your legs, gripping onto the edge to steady yourself. Now if it just got incredibly hot… god that would be perfect. You looked up at him with a sheepish grin, noting the fact his eyes were completely glued on you. Not your face though.Ā 
Kento hadn’t had a chance to fully take in your form, seeing as you only wore baggy clothes in front of him. And now he had a perfect view of your breasts and it turned you on from how he stared. You could tell he wanted to fondle them and make them his. Bite along the skin and suck your nipples until they are sensitive to the touch. You bit your bottom lip again, feeling a throb pulsate through your swollen clit. Just any sort of friction would’ve been nice at that moment.Ā 
He hopped down into the water a few moments later, keeping his distance. It was as if he stood too close he’d lose all control and do something he’d regret in the morning. But you wanted so badly for him to lose control and fuck you senseless in the water. You wanted him to take your wet pussy and brand it with his cock until he was milked dry.Ā 
ā€œThank you,ā€ Kento whispered, eyes staring up into the sky which was beginning to turn an orange color in the distance, ā€œThe boys really like you. And I really like you… is that odd to you?ā€ He looked back at you with an intense gaze.Ā 
You shook your head, ā€œI like you. It’s not weird. Iā€¦ā€ You couldn’t say it. You couldn’t confess that you had been having those thoughts to him. You couldn’t tell your boss you wanted him to fuck you. You couldn’t.
He took one slow step towards you, big hands coming and resting against the small of your back, ā€œTell me. Does this make you uncomfortable?ā€ His voice was a low purr, with his eyes boring holes into yours.Ā 
You felt your cheeks heat up and prickle a warm shade of pink, ā€œ...No.ā€Ā 
ā€œCan I continue?ā€ The blonde man tilted his head to the side, begging to inch closer to your perfect body. His hands moved from your back to grip onto your side, molding against your love handles and massaging them with a circular motion.Ā 
You couldn’t help yourself and you nodded quickly, bringing your hands to rest on his chest, ā€œPlease,ā€ was all you had to whisper, because then his hands moved from your love handles to cradle your ass. One hand rubbed large circles while the other squeezed and prodded at it, just to get a rise out of you. You inhaled sharply and groaned into the sensation, pressing yourself against his stiff body, feeling the tent in his swimsuit press against your front.
ā€œYou tease me… walking around with those outfits, to make me wonder what body you have underneath,ā€ Kento cooed, resting his chin against your head, ā€œI could fuck you into apologizing, hm? I could make you sorry for teasing me like that if I was meanā€¦ā€Ā 
A whimper came tumbling out of your mouth just at his words. God his voice was heavenly. You wanted him to whisper sweet nothings into your ear as he fucked you from behind, forcing your back into an arch and pulling you by your hair.Ā 
ā€œYou like that, I’m not surprised,ā€ you could practically hear the smile biting at his lips as he pulled you back by your hips. He stared down at your face before pulling one of his hands from your lower half to touch your cheek, ā€œMay I kiss you?ā€
Your legs melted then and there. What a gentleman. What a fucking gentleman. Every single time he asked, even when he could gauge the answer from the look on your dumbstruck face, he asked. It made you hornier to just think he cared about how you felt in that moment. He cared about you in a way that wasn’t just sexual. I mean he entrusted you with his kids 24/7 of course he cared!
ā€œKiss me,ā€ you whispered, resting your hand against his own on your face. A nurturing smile formed on his soft mouth and you felt it press against your own. It was chaste and sweet, just to test the waters. But it didn’t stay that way for long.Ā 
He pressed shallow kisses against your lips just to build up the sensation before englonging them ever so slightly. They got longer and longer until his mouth wasn’t moving from yours, but instead molding to become one. He sucked against your bottom lip and kissed you with passion. It was delicate and gentle, but you could tell he wanted to go crazy. You could tell he was holding back and it drove you crazy!
Kento tilted his head and slowly deepened the kiss, bringing your bodies closer together. His hands were underneath your thighs, pulling you up until your feet were no longer touching the bottom of the pool. Instead of bringing you to sit on the edge of the pool as you thought he was going to do, he put his leg in between yours and pressed you against his knee. Friction.Ā 
You moaned into the kiss and began to rock your hips back and forth, anything to get off to elevate the throbbing in your pussy. The man’s hands didn’t stay PG for long, one staying on your ass to prop you up as the other moved to untie your swimsuit top from behind. You needed to cum, it was a primal urge in your gut. You had to cum, you couldn’t stand not being able to anymore. And you needed to cum with Kento, on Kento, anywhere.Ā 
ā€œMay I?ā€ Kento asked, looking down at you as he messed with the string of your bikini top. You nodded and moaned out an exacerbated please and he followed suit.Ā 
Your swimsuit top was off within a few seconds and he didn’t take long to attack one of your nipples, sticking your breast inside his mouth. He knew exactly what to do, using his tongue to roll over the nub and his teeth to grade against the sensitive area. You didn’t even realize you liked having your nipples sucked until he just … did it.Ā 
ā€œF-fuck… me m-m..fuck me pl..please,ā€ you breathed out, aching for some form of release. You had never needed it this bad in your entire life. It was starting to hurt from how badly you wanted him to fuck you. You wanted his girthy cock to stretch your holes and pump you with load after a load of his warm cum.Ā 
Kento didn’t have to be told twice. You found yourself now perched on the side of the pool, dazed and horny as he pulled himself out to sit beside you. The concrete ground was hard against your ass but you weren’t on there for long. He grabbed you delicately and picked you up, cradling you close to his chest. It was almost familiar, leaning your head against his pecs as he walked over to one of the many couches on the patio.Ā 
ā€œOut here…?ā€ You murmured as he set you on your stomach, prepping a pillow underneath you beforehand.Ā 
You felt a large and hard hand rub a circle against your ass cheek, ā€œI have a fence,ā€ was all he said as he pulled down your swimsuit bottoms and tossed them to the side. You heard some shuffling then a warm and bulbous head pressed against your slit, ā€œMay I?ā€
ā€œP-please,ā€ you whined, bracing yourself for the stretch. Nanami put both hands on your hips and slowly inserted himself. He was gentle and careful, stopping every few seconds to check in to make sure you weren’t hurting. The way he filled you out made you almost cum then and there.Ā Ā 
ā€œI’ll start slow so you can adjust to th-ā€ He had begun but you promptly cut him off with another whine.Ā 
ā€œNo… just go,ā€ you turned your head to look at him with a pout forming on your lips, ā€œI’m beyond ready, Kento.ā€Ā 
He blinked a few times, and an air of surprise hinted on his face. He hadn’t expected you to be so eager to be railed by his cock, but he shouldn’t have been surprised. Your stares were obvious from the beginning. You bit your lip and stared back at him, just waiting for him to begin.Ā 
Kento sighed and nodded, ā€œVery well,ā€ was all he said. He reached down, one hand on your hip and the other grabbing one of yours, ā€œI’ll start now.ā€
He patted your hip and then began. You didn’t have time to brace yourself as he started rough. His hips snapped into your cunt and you felt his tip kiss your G-spot within seconds. You tensed and curled your back inwards, feeling the sensation grow with every thrust. Nanami was just a god at everything he did, easily fucking you as if it was second nature. His cock thrust in and out of you in perfect rhythm, plapping against your ass loudly. But you both didn’t seem to care.Ā 
ā€œF-fuck!ā€ You gasped, burying your head against the couch cushion, ā€œA-ah.. I- mm ha- f-f-..fuck.ā€ Not exactly a sentence but it was music to his ears. You couldn’t help it. You’d never been one to be loud typically when you were fucked, but this was different. There wasn’t any build-up and god was it just better. The fact he was going and going and going, without a care for how sensitive you were turned you on beyond belief.
Nanami’s hand brushed against your hip and pressed down at the small of your back, pushing your back from curling inwards to arching back again, ā€œThere we go… good girl. I want you to stay arched for me, okay pretty girl?ā€ You whimpered and nodded a few times, looking back to see him intensely staring at your form. He rubbed small circles into your back and held you there, keeping you arched for his big cock.Ā 
He continued to fuck you, ramming his girthy length deep in your cunt, practically asking you to squirt down his shaft. And god you were so close to cumming. You hadn’t even noticed but Kento was getting close. You began to tell from how his thrusts got sloppier, or how his hand pressed deeper into your back, forcing your arch lower and lower.Ā 
ā€œFuckā€¦ā€ He breathed out, leaning forward to rest his head against your mid back. You felt his ball smack against your cunt, with his body pressing down against yours as you two became one. He could tell you were close, muttering, ā€œYou’re going to cum… huh?ā€Ā 
You let out a loud moan as a response, with your hips jerking up. It felt so good to the point where you couldn’t control your bodily movements anymore. Kento sat back up, groaning and then stiffening. You didn’t realize what was happening until you felt a warm load shoot deep into your pussy, causing you to cum as well. Load after load shot into your walls and coated you in white, milking him completely dry. His hand pressed into your back again, keeping you arched as he rode out his high.Ā 
Kento slowly came to a stop, letting go of your hand to hold your hips delicately. He used his fingers to brush along the skin and rub small circles on the areas he grabbed or pressed too hard, looking you over with an intense gaze.Ā 
ā€œIā€¦ā€ You slowly began, turning your head to glance sheepishly at your boss. He looked down at you, breathing quickly. He blinked a few times, with his expression softening when he began to read the tone of your face. ā€œI should quit, shouldn’t I?ā€ You murmured, eyes fluttering close.Ā 
The blonde let out a sigh followed by a breathless laugh, ā€œI thought that was going differently,ā€ he mused, before clearing his throat and adding, ā€œI don’t mind if you quit as long as you stay in my house … with me.ā€Ā 
You opened your eyes, ā€œOf course, Kento. Of course.

Essential School Gym Equipment: Building a Well-Rounded Fitness Space
Ā A well-equipped school gym equipment plays a crucial role in promoting physical activity and overall wellness among students. A balanced combination of cardio, strength, flexibility, and agility equipment can help schools foster a positive fitness culture and develop students' physical skills at an early age. Whether it's for physical education classes, sports training, or general fitness, having the right gym equipment is vital.Ā 
In this blog, we’ll discuss the basic necessities that should be installed in a school gym to support students’ diverse fitness needs. Since schools are the foundation places where a lot of students understand their physique type and turn to move towards sports and athletic activities, its a must for these places to just in general have these equipment installed.Ā 
1. Cardiovascular Equipment
Cardio fitness is fundamental to a student’s physical development. It helps with the improvement of heart health, stamina and most importantly, weight balancing. Including cardiovascular equipment in the outdoor gym equipment encourages aerobic exercise, which is essential for both athletic performance and overall fitness.
Treadmills and Ellipticals
Treadmills are a gym staple, allowing students to run or walk regardless of weather conditions. These machines are easy to use and can be adjusted to different fitness levels, making them ideal for both beginners and more advanced users.
Stationary Bikes
Cycling is a great way to improve cardiovascular health without putting too much strain on the body. Stationary bikes provide a low-impact alternative for students who might find running difficult.Ā 
2. Strength Training Equipment
Strength training helps students develop muscle, enhance endurance, and improve overall body composition. It's particularly important in developing strong bones, reducing injury risks, and building a healthy metabolic rate.
Free Weights
Dumbbells and kettlebells are essential components of any gym. They are versatile, offering countless exercises targeting different muscle groups. Adjustable dumbbells are space-efficient and allow for varying weight levels to accommodate students of all strengths. Kettlebells, on the other hand, are ideal for dynamic movements like swings, snatches, and cleans, promoting both strength and coordination.
Weight Benches
Weight benches help perform bench presses and rows. Incline, decline, and flat benches can be used to target various muscle groups. These benches should be sturdy and adjustable to fit the needs of students of different heights and body types.
Resistance Bands
Resistance bands are highly portable, cost-effective, and suitable for students of all fitness levels. These bands are great for strength training, stretching, and rehabilitation exercises.Ā 
Barbells and Squat Racks
Barbells, paired with squat racks, are essential for heavier lifts such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. Squat racks ensure that students can perform these exercises safely, with proper posture and technique. These pieces of equipment are especially important for high school students engaging in strength-based sports training, such as football or basketball.
3. Safety and Accessibility Features
Beyond the physical equipment, a school fitness equipment must also prioritize safety and accessibility to accommodate all students. This includes ensuring that the equipment is spaced properly, well-maintained, and easy to use.
Safety Flooring
Installing appropriate safety flooring, such as rubber or foam mats, is critical to prevent injuries. This type of flooring provides cushioning for students who may fall during activities and reduces the impact on joints during high-impact exercises.Ā 
First Aid Station
A well-stocked first aid station is a must-have in any school gym. Accidents can happen, and it's important to have basic medical supplies, such as bandages, ice packs, and antiseptics, on hand to address minor injuries. Having trained staff, such as gym teachers or coaches, certified in CPR and first aid is equally essential.
4. Agility and Functional Training Equipment
Agility is a key component of fitness, particularly for students participating in sports. Equipment that focuses on improving speed, coordination, andĀ Ā functional fitness equipmentĀ can help students excel in athletic pursuits and daily activities.
Agility Ladders
Agility ladders are perfect for drills that improve foot speed, coordination, and overall athleticism. They are simple to set up and can be used indoors or outdoors. PE teachers or coaches can create various agility routines to boost student performance in sports like soccer, basketball, or track.
Cones and Hurdles
Cones and hurdles help with speed drills andĀ obstacle course training equipmentĀ Ā - especially for athletes and sports students. They help them develop coordination, quick reflexes, and lateral movement, making them essential for athletic training.
Medicine Balls
Medicine balls come in various weights and sizes, making them great for both functional and strength training. Students can use them for exercises like wall throws, squats, and twists, which challenge multiple muscle groups and improve power and coordination. Medicine balls are also excellent for partner exercises, promoting teamwork.

My cat is attempting to sit on me. She is too big. There is no room. So naturally she moves up more, MAKING ROOM even if my face must be sacrificed as a part of her perch.
Relatedly, I'm honestly eager for the day Rhaegar has to sadly admit to himself that Qelebrys is too big for him to be her perch anymore. He'll be so sad. A precious little bean of sadness. Jon will have to give him commiserating cuddles and send for cake (as the more experienced pet owner, he already knows the pain of puppies becoming too big to carry anymore).
Daemon will come home and be immediately concerned by Rhaegar's sadness, but also just go, "Ah," when Jon explains. Like, yep. That would do it. And then they'd clearly need to go backyard camping in the dragon enclosure where cuddles can be had no matter how large certain reptiles may or may not be.
Qelebrys (and Shadow, whenever it happened to him) is probably the saddest of all, mind you. Imagine, going along, everything being fine, and then getting KICKED TO THE CURB by your most precious person.
Awwww, cats and dragons alike having no sense of "too big" (well, at least until dragons are older) is too cute.
I expect the hatchling milestones of sadness will come in ways.
First, no more perch. Rhaegar tries to grit it out for a little while, but is too easily unbalanced. Then it's just "only while standing."
Next, it's "too big for lap." This one is very sad, but there are some coping mechanisms. Sitting beside your beloved person, for instance.
When the hatchlings are too big for the couch anymore, then it's cuddles on the bed. At that point, however, the hatchlings aren't really small enough to fit through the doorways anymore. This likely leads to some, uh, structural mishaps where they try to force their way in and the twins are sternly reprimanded and told to teach their dragons that they're outdoors-only now.
Rhaegar obviously demands sleeping quarters be built within the enclosure, so that they can have comfortable sleepovers with their dragons.
(I thiiiiink Daemon probably puts his foot down here? If Rhaegar wants dragon snuggles, he can use a bedroll like Daemon always has. Though he might lose his resolve if Rhaegar pulls out the beseeching "it's all I've ever wanted" sad eyes.)
Keep in mind that through all of these milestones, Daemon is the temporary growing pain victim. When Qelebrys can't perch on Rhaegar anymore, she's very offended and upset and goes on Daemon instead. Etc for lap cuddles...
But yes, lots of hatchling angst over losing cuddles and quick access to their riders. What do you mean they can't just fly through the halls to hunt Jon or Rhaegar down? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
(This is why you don't train your dragons that flying indoors is okay, tbh...)
There's doubtless an adjustment period where bruised egos and hurt feelings are soothed by lots and lots of outdoor playtime together. No more lying atop their rider...but they do get to fly alongside Caraxes on short trips!

I work in an avian pokemon rescue centre and someone brought in a lost braviary chick...wrapped in a warm tortilla. They found it while having a barbeque and had nothing else to hand, so they just warmed one on the grill and made him into a little burrito. It was so warm and snug he was fast asleep when he arrived. Tortilla the braviary is doing well and scoffing his food like nobodies business.
...do you mean a rufflet? they can't hatch out as braviary. they have to evolve to reach that stage
when you say tortilla, im guessing you mean the mexican kind...it would be hard to stick a rufflet into one of our paldean tortillas. a tortilla isn't the most ideal solution just because a newly hatched rufflet isn't a great shape to fit inside one, but they do maintain heat well enough to keep them warm for a short trip. ideally, orphaned bird pokemon should be placed in a towel inside of a small container. but i've had people bring me pokemon in all manner of interesting ways. ditto are usually the strangest because of their lack of structure. very recently somebody brought in a shroodle in a plastic shopping bag. just...plopped him in there. he sprayed goop everywhere and it reeked so bad we had to toss it in the outdoor garbage so it wouldnt stink up the whole shelter.
my favorite is still the tadbulb that somebody tied a string around and led in like it was a balloon.

kerry. girlie. i'm in a pickle here and i need your help.
so, i'm scripting a food blogger dr! which has been real fun so far, but i have one issue: school.
i'm in high school, and the school i go to here just doesn't fit the vibes i'm going for in this reality. i want something barely-structured, something that's clearly founded and run by hippies, a school with mostly gardens and just a little bit secluded, a place that seems like a technicolor manic pixie dream girls wet dream. do you have any ideas or inspo for what to script?
girl. you will go the best school ever. its like going to the fairy world without actual fairies…. maybe people hallucinating them thanks to the weed.
i. the school: first of all, gardens. full of plants and flowers. and some statues that look a bit too real. that’s the main part of the building – and the strongest thing about it; imagine the amazing perfume you will smell every morning. in the springs ??? you are basically a disney princess. there are still buildings (who look like luna lovegood designed them) who are there…. because it’s a school. you need them. maybe the school it’s in the middle of the woods, a bit unusual for an high school and that’s why it’s so amazing. near a river, or even better, a waterfall !!! imagine putting your feet in the clear water while meditating, or smoking weed. kinda the same thing? there are seating areas, but the people mainly use the earth or hammocks when they feel a bit fancy.
the school gardens:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the sitting areas:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the school buildings:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ii. classes: you (unfortunately) need them. because you are in high school and even if you may like a lot of money with your food blog, you still have to. but. it’s not like the others school (and not in a pick me way…..) because teachers are a bit… unconventional. and the subjects too. the classes are in those weird funny looking buildings, even if the majority of times you will be outside – in the sitting areas, or just in the gardens. the classes feel like a reunion instead of something you are forced to do (and you can skip them without having problems) and teachers are guiding you into reaching your highest self: meditation, yoga, outdoors music festivals, reading, writing, drawing, singing, rhyming, games, puzzles, cooking, baking, pottery. everything that makes you and your soul happy. self-expression is in. math’s rigid rules? out.
community is a big part of your school. they take it very seriously. fashion? oh!!!!! you can read someone by looking at what they are wearing, and i think it’s beautiful.
also, your school has a nap room. because yes.
