I've been cold with autumn settling in, but luckily Hitsugaya is always ready for the cold !!

Charity Ball

Yet again, you and Tony have been invited to attend another event. However, he intends to make this one less boring, surprising you with a gift before the pair of you leave.

You always enjoy the tedious hours spent with the hair and makeup artist teams before events with Tony. The makeup itself, you could take it or leave it really but the company is always nice. "Alright girl, finishing touches and you're all good to go." Alicia grins, applying your mascara with years of experience. "And may I just say, damn girl. You're looking beautiful!" Ryan laughs, undoing the clips holding your hair up, your ivory locks draping over your shoulders in luscious waves.

"I can't thank you guys enough." You grin, admiring yourself in the mirror as Alicia lightly sprays the setting spray over your face. "Anytime for you, future Mrs Stark. That ring be looking ex-pen-sive!" Ryan says, excitedly glancing at the engagement ring hugging your finger. You chuckle, looking down at your hand, serene happiness filling your veins with warmth. "I suppose it is a bit but you know Tony."

"Am I not allowed to spoil the love of my life?" Your fiance's deep voice sounds from the doorway as you grin, looking over at him. "I never said that." You laugh as Alicia gives you a warm squeeze on the shoulder, Ryan leaning in for a hug. "We'll leave you two lovebirds to it. Honey, you're looking stunning." He says before walking out of the room, Alicia follows close behind as she calls back over her shoulder. "Have a good night you two!"

"I believe Ryan bet me to say it but you do indeed look stunning, darling." Tony smiles, strolling over to you with his hands in his suit pocket. "Why thank you, you don't look half bad yourself." You smirk, placing your hands on his chest as his hands pull your body flush to his. If anything, he looked a lot better than just half bad, not that you were going to say it openly. His black suit hugged each curve of his muscles, accompanied by his signature red tie.

"I do try sometimes, you know." He laughs before pressing a gentle kiss to your lips. "I've left a gift for you on the nightstand and a dress in the closet. I suggest opening the gift and putting it on before you put the dress on." Raising an eyebrow, you look up at him, confused, extracting a chuckle from him. "Just go. I'll wait for you in the foyer. Happy's bringing the S7 round for us." He says, pulling away from you as you walk into the bedroom.

A black box tied with a delicate silver ribbon lay on the nightstand, undoing the ribbon, a gasp escapes you as you see its contents. Your core burns in anticipation as your eyes land on a hot rod red vibrator, no doubt one of his own creations. "Tony, you cheeky little minx." You chuckle under your breath, grabbing the sleek toy from its packaging.

Walking around the bed, you walk into your closet, seeing the new addition hanging amongst your other expensive ball gowns. A slit up the thigh, the red satin sparkled with jewels embedded in the upper half, a cut just above the padded cups of the breasts. Sliding the toy into your matching lingerie, your own little gift for Tony, you let your dressing gown fall to the ground as you pull the dress from the hanger. Pulling it on, it accentuates every curve of your body. To say you look divine is an understatement. Quickly slipping your feet into your heels, you fasten the clip of your diamond pendant necklace, yet another gift from your fiance from the night of your engagement. Taking a moment to admire yourself in the mirror, you proceed to exit the room, walking down the stairs to the foyer.

Tony knew the dress would look stunning on you but as he turned towards the sound of your heels clicking on the marble stairs, he struggled to maintain his breath. "Wow." Is the only word that he can manage to say as you walk up to him. His hands grab your hips, pulling your body close to him as your arms wrap over his shoulders. "I wasn't prepared for how gorgeous you look in that dress." He admits, his eyes devouring your body as he looks you up and down.

"I must admit, the gift is a very nice addition." You tease, giving him a cheeky wink as his pupils dilate at your words. "You're going to be the death of me, woman." He mutters, pressing a kiss to your forehead as you grin. "Uh guys, I'd hate to break up the party but you do have an event to attend." Happy chimes in awkwardly, holding the Saleen's keys up to Tony. Looking over at Happy, Tony grabs the keys, giving him a singular nod.

"Right, cheers." He says before turning his attention back to you, offering out his arm. "Shall we?" You grin, wrapping your arms around his. "We shall." You reply, letting him lead you out to the passenger's side of the car as he opens the door for you. Getting in the car, he shuts the door behind you before walking around to the driver's seat. His hand immediately finds home on your thigh, giving it a gentle squeeze before turning the key in the ignition.

You and Tony both would have rather stayed home than attended the charity ball but seeing as the Avengers were all attending, it would've seemed unprofessional to not show up. Pulling onto the open road, Tony hums along to the music playing through the speakers as he fiddles with a few settings on his watch. "Eyes on the road, darling." You remind him as he narrowly avoids a car that had stupidly decided to pull out in front of you. "I will in a second, I just need to… there." He says, pressing a final button on his watch. A startled moan falls off your lips as the toy begins to vibrate inside you, the second part of it gently massaging your clit. A smirk pulls at Tony's lips as your hands grip the edge of the seat.

"Tony…" You breathe, the toy rubbing against the sensitive spot inside you. "As much as I love to hear you moaning my name, try to keep the noise to a minimum while at the event, my love." He grins, the both of you knowing that he's not going to make it as simple as that.

_____

The minute Tony pulls through the gates of the event's grounds, it seems as if all cameras are on the two of you. White flashes surround you as he pulls up to a stop next to the red carpet leading down the middle of the barricades stopping the paparazzi. Getting out of the car, he chucks his keys to the valet as he walks over to your door, offering you his hand as he helps you out of the car. You gratefully accept his hand, using him to help steady your quivering legs as the toy continues its ministrations. Reporters immediately call out to both you and Tony, attempting to bombard you with questions as bodyguards quickly usher the pair of you inside.

Tony's hand slides possessively around your waist, pulling you close to him as you try to control your breathing. Your nails clench into his hip as pleasure courses through your veins. A smirk pulling across his face, Tony lets a singular chuckle escape him as he leads the two of you over to where the other Avengers had gathered at a table in the corner. "Tony, Y/N," Bruce says, smiling warmly at the two of you as you take a seat next to Natasha. "Hey." You flash what you hope is a smile at them as Tony walks over to the bar. "So, how's everything with you guys?" You manage to ask through the pleasure emitting from between your thighs. Your hands tighten their grip on your thighs as you glance over at Tony. Did he just turn it up? The smirk on his face, as he watches your thighs clench together, tells you your answer.

Trying to ignore the ministrations of the vibrator over your sensitive bud, you look, maybe too intensely, at Wanda as she replies. "Yeah it's been alright, but I hear congratulations are in order. Tony was nervous for weeks before he proposed." Ah shit, you were trying to keep the attention away from yourself. Forcing a smile on your face, you nod. "Thank you. It was all incredible, he made everything so utterly perfect. I'm a lucky woman." You grin, feeling Tony's hand on your shoulder as he places a champagne glass on the table in front of you. Taking a seat beside you, his hand covers yours over your thigh, entangling his fingers with yours as you thank him for the drink.

Taking a sip, you attempt to swallow the moan sitting in your throat, your core tightening as an orgasm approaches. Your hand squeezes tight around Tony's as your thighs shake beneath the table, the back of your hand coming up to cover your mouth as a wave of pure bliss crashes over your body. His hand gives yours an affirming squeeze before he adjusts the settings on his watch, the vibrations stopping as you breathe a silent sigh of relief. The toy still stretches your walls, your core tingling with the lack of vibration as the conversation moves on.

_____

The speeches were long and tedious as always but this time for an entirely different reason. Tony focused his boredom on playing with what seemed to be his new favourite toy for the two of you. You can feel your slick coating your legs as he continues to adjust the settings, letting your body come close to the sweet release you so crave, then turning the vibrator off, edging you over and over again. Your clit throbs from over-stimulation as you choke back silent sobs of desperation into your hand, trying to focus your eyes on the stage. “Thank you all again for attending, we hope you all have a great night. The dance floor is open to all, as well as an open bar. Enjoy!” The host concludes the introductory speech as guests stand up to refill their now-empty glasses at the bar.

The music begins playing through the speakers and a soft smile pulls at your lips as you recognise it. “Is this?” You begin to ask, looking at Tony who already has his hand extended. “Our song.” Taking his hand, you force your quivering legs to stand, grateful when his arm slinks around your lower back to help you. The two of you walk over to the dance floor, turning to each other as he places a gentle kiss on your hand before intertwining your fingers. Your other hand rests on his shoulder as his hand moves to your lower back, pulling your body flush with his as you sway to Crowded House’s, ‘Don’t Dream, It’s Over.’ “Hold on, one sec.” He murmurs, pulling his hand away from your back to adjust the settings on his watch, your knees nearly buckling as the vibrations dance over your sensitive bud. Your head drops into his shoulder, muffling the moan you’ve wanted to release for nearly two hours now.

“Can I cum this time or are you going to edge me again?” You ask, your words coming out in a shaky breath. A satisfied chuckle escapes Tony as he rests his head on yours. “Sorry about that, I got bored.” You can’t help the laugh falling off your lips at his response. “Really? I couldn’t tell.” His grip pulls your body impossibly closer to him as he leans down to whisper in your ear. “Careful darling, I’m feeling generous at the moment but with an attitude like that, it might disappear rather quickly.” A shiver runs down your spine at his words, his lips brushing over your earlobe as he does. Leaning further into his chest, another shaky moan escapes you, your orgasm quickly approaching yet again. If it wasn’t for Tony’s hand on your back, holding you up, your legs would’ve given out. He can feel your body twitching in anticipation as your breath hitches in your chest. “Cum for me, love.” He murmurs, gently nibbling your earlobe as you let yourself go. Pure bliss crashes over your body, euphoria filling your veins as your body shudders with delight against him. “That’s my girl.” You can barely hear his affirmations through your light-headedness, fully relying on him to keep you upright as your body pulsates with divine pleasure.

“When we get home, I’m not going to stop until the only word you can scream is my name.”

Pen-sive

Thank you so much for this three-word ask @thosehallowedhalls: Ethan, Kaycee, pens. You have no idea how excited I was about this... I'll tell you why at the end of the fic. 😊

Book: Open Heart (Post Series) Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x Kaycee MacClennan (F!MC) Rating: Teen Words: 582 Summary: Something is missing, and Kaycee is not amused. A/N: @choicesjanuary2024 Day 17 - Rest (It's a bit of a stretch, but the poor man was resting - for a bit 😊)

It had been a fairly quiet afternoon by Edenbrook standards, and Ethan was relishing the relative quiet in his office. Finally catching up on work he had put aside for a day just like today, he stopped to take a break when he felt the warm sun beaming in from the window. Sitting back in his chair, he closed his eyes to relish the peace and tranquility.

It was short-lived.

Kaycee came barrelling into the room with the force of a hurricane (and we're not talking about a category one). Slamming the door behind her, there was a fire in her eyes as she marched up to Ethan’s desk. He let out a breath; the break was nice, while it lasted.

“Yes,” he said with his best manufactured smile.

“What is this,” Kaycee spat, tossing an object that clearly offended her onto Ethan’s desk.

He picked it up and examined it as meticulously as if it were a newly admitted patient. Then, after much thought, he placed it down before him.

“It’s a pen, my dear. A Bic pen, if we’re being exact. Classic style in clear plastic barrel casing. It appears to be a ballpoint with the blue cap still intact. Is that a sufficient explanation? Or do you require more?”

Kaycee plopped into the chair with a weary sigh, rubbing her temples to release the tension.

“And, my love, what is my opinion on this variety of pens?”

“You find them to be vile and an affront to humanity. You lie awake at night, baffled over why Congress has not taken adequate steps to rid society of each and every one.”

Her lips curled upward, and that dimple Ethan loved so much appeared. She wanted to maintain the level of exaggerated fury she had burst in with, but as usual, he wore her down.

“You are insane,” she chuckled.

“I’m insane? I'm insane? Should I bring in an impartial third party to determine who the insane one is?”

“Where is my pen!” She demanded. “I was sitting with you this morning, and I had it... my baby! My beautiful Uniball Jetstream retractable pen. You know, the one that glides across the page like silk, leaving a nice bold line without one single smudge or skip. WHERE is it Ethan, and don’t lie to me... I have my ways of finding these things out.”

Ethan smiled and shook his head. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out Kaycee’s treasured writing implement and handed it to her across his desk.

“In fairness, YOU grabbed the wrong pen when you left the office this morning.  I had nothing to do with this.  I didn’t even use it, just had it in my pocket for safe keeping... I know better.”

“I was still not caffeinated!" She said defensively. "I'll cut you a little slack, but did you page me 911 telling me to get back to your office and get it right away? No.  So I still hold you accountable for making me use that... that vile excuse of a pen all morning.”

Ethan took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.  “How can I make it up to you, dear?”

“Take me to lunch?”

He smiled and stood up from his chair, tossing his car keys in his pocket as he did. 

“Let’s go, and perhaps we can swing by Staples on the way back.”

“Staples? Why?”

“To get you a new box of those Uniball pens.  I can’t take this kind of stress at work.”

Beaming, she reached over and kissed him on the cheek.  “You know, you’re the best boyfriend ever!”

“Yep!” He nodded. “I certainly am.”

A/N2: OK, so you don't know this, but I am OBSESSED with pens. I am an utter pen snob, and it's not healthy. To make it worse, my boss's boss is the same way. We keep the cheap, shitty pens on our desks and "our pens" locked away so no one can get to them. If someone inadvertently takes one, we have been known to spend the morning hunting the offender down and making them pay. So the JOY this prompt brought me... you have NO idea. And now you have a peek into my variety of mental illness. lol Thank you!

Our lass gets her hair done at this really nice hairdressers that's all progressive and millennial, right

I'm not slagging them, they're lovely people

It's fucking ex pen sive mind, as you pay for the progressiveness (boundaries, validation, understanding of mental health) through your wallet cos that's its unique selling point

But there's no bullshit, no noise, no bitching and slagging like some hairdressers - it's just a really nice, calming, accepting environment

Anyway she's late as per so they probably won't see her, so I said just say you've been triggered on the bus and they'll let you in 😂

I'm joking like but it's funny cos they will, bless em. Just have to dredge up some past trauma in order to get through the door lol

Why? Because!

I replied to a post on twitter about the yearly scare tactics regarding drugs and Halloween. Someone got mad that I accused cops of lying, scaremongering, and planting evidence and wanted to know why they’d do that to millions of children.

I blocked them because it was obvious they were arguing in bad faith, but it made me think about it anyway, so here’s my answer.

Why would cops lie about drugs during Halloween?

* Because it makes them look good. It makes them sound concerned about the safety of children and implies they’re working hard to combat the “drug problem.”

* It demonizes drug addicts and makes them seem as if they’re terrible people who would deliberately prey on kids and are a menace to public safety.

* It gives them another excuse to target Black and minority individuals for drug raids.

* It scares (white) parents into thinking the cops are on their side and looking out for them. White families probably believe that anyway, but the occasional reinforcement is always good for PR.

* It makes people more compliant and less likely to question the dubious information/tactics the cops use.

* It makes you suspicious of your neighbors and less likely to trust them.

Yes, cops will plant evidence. It makes them look good at their job and gets people to believe they’re telling the truth. It also gives them an excuse to make arrests- again, mostly Black and minority individuals and almost always those who are already poor.

The best part for them is that they can pull all this bullshit without actually having to worry about it actually happening. The drugs discussed are EX-PEN-SIVE and aren’t going to be dispensed for free. They sure as fuck aren’t going to be given to little kids, who are notorious for not having bags of money at their disposal.

Also, one of the reasons the cops use to scare folks is also a reason it’s absolute BS: you can’t tell where the drugs came from (aka any of your neighbors could secretly be drug dealers). What’s the point of getting anyone- let alone a little kid- addicted to something if they won’t know where to go to get more? That’s just bad business. LOL!

So yeah. I know most people on here already know all the nuances of ACAB, but writing it down makes me feel better, so there.

[ailelie]

So. If you wear a bra with an underwire and the underwire is constantly digging into you and causing pain, there's probably one of three things wrong:

The cut of the bra isn't really ideal for you.

The bra isn't the right size.

The bra is too old to wear.

I have worn underwire bras since I got boobs and mine are not small. When the wires were problems, I was wearing the wrong size. Wrong sizes also led to more wires poking out. And, recently, I bought a cheap bra because I forgot to pack spares on a trip and the cut was really high up under my armpit and I hated that. And, when I was younger, I wore bras until they fell apart because buying ones that fit was ex-pen-sive (if I could even find a store with my size). That's the other reason I had wires poking out.

Do I sometimes wear bras without wires? Yes, but only when I don't want to wear a bra at all (but going without is also a pain; I hate the feeling of flesh pressed against flesh and the heat that generates). And my favorite wireless bra is actually a greater relief to remove at the end of the day than any of my wired bras because it has a snug band that feels a lot snugger over the course of the day. (I know it is the wrong size, but the right size in that style doesn't exist yet).

I just... underwires aren't evil.

finals have just finished yesterday (or 2 days ago, technically, bcs it's 3 AM now) and i'm still reeling back from missing 2 weeks of inten* classes. i haven't even started my inten progress but i've decided that i'll complete my notes today and then start filling my progress book up asap.

i've only finished my biology notes out of... so many fucking notes lmao. but biology takes up a huge chunk of my notes so i pretty much have finished at least 45% of the notes i missed. my hands hurt so bad and i had to cut my nails in the midst of note taking bcs i hold my pen with the pads of my fingers.

i'm also simultaneously revising for the try out on sunday which will be the first try out without being provided any study materials but tbh i'm not even gonna try 😭 i'm too exhausted and it's the end of the year, cut me some slack, everyone's on holiday already...

*as i will be mentioning inten in almost every post, here's an explanation: inten is a tutoring center that's known for their "inten"sive classes to prepare students for college entrance exams. they have monthly try outs that are followed by try out @ home (redoing the entire try out at home, but you're allowed to look at your notes) and progress (you write the explanation/solution for every single question in the try out. it's done in this bigass book).

this session's study buddy: bfu true crime marathons

next session's target: finish PU, PK, PPU, PBM, but most importantly bio progress

Finally stopped dithering/avoiding the inevitable $$$$$ and put in an order for appliances. gah. But, it will be very, very, very, VERY nice to have a proper washer (and dryer, and dishwasher) on hand, after 4 fucking years of laundromat/minimally adequate "portable" washer/"dryer", and with any luck I won't have to buy those things again for a loooooooooong time.

In a good news/bad news department, the previous owners left behind a couple small sprinklers, the kind that have a spinny thing on top and water sprays out in like, a circle, right? So, good news, there are sprinklers, and the lawn needed a watering, hooray, I can do that! Bad news, part one: these things are designed with an "in" -and- an "out" so that you can put hoses between pairs of them, I guess, which is cool, but neither of them has a cap to close the "out" spot. Bad news, part two: hooked it up, figured out how to cap the "out" side, water doesn't come out evenly, spinny thing doesn't spin, the little holes are fucking clogged because guess what, spiders have made webs inside the sprinklers and the water is forcing the webbing into the little holes. AUGH. I think it still did a ... job of getting water to the lawn, though, so I guess I need to uh, clean the damn things out and maybe next time the spray will work properly.

Going to need to call an electrician. There are a few minor, things I'd like taken care of, plus a couple more serious items: some previous owner removed the cover of the breaker box and installed a LARGE wood-framed mirror, on a hinge, to cover the fucking thing. The breaker box is in the living room (WHY) so I understand why they wanted to cover it up but why they couldn't have the left the basic metal cover in place and let the mirror cover THAT is a mystery for the ages, but I definitely do not want the mirror; I can figure out some other way to hide the unattractive cover plate. Installing a breaker box cover is probably something simple/safe enough I could do it but. I would rather someone who knows electricity handle it.

Then there is - well, was - a mystery light switch that got removed post-inspection and there's just a plain plate covering it, but I am wondering if perhaps that switch is - I mean -was- - the switch to turn on the light in the crawlspace. And there are a few outdoor outlets that have covers, but apparently those style of covers aren't actually appropriate if one is actually using the outlet?

And then the actually troubling issue is that one of the light switches makes an alarming sound when I turn it off. Really don't like that, that's BAD, no thank you!!

If I felt like spending extra extra money I'd go shopping for at least one ceiling light fixture, something I like better than the old ones here now, most of them variations on ye olde boobe lampe, and get that installed at the same time as all this stuff, but I did a little online browsing and almost died of sticker shock so I think that kind of cosmetic upgrade will have to wait a while. (I did find some fixtures < $100 which wouldn't be terrible but still.)
