alright, round three, let's do this
now playing : Only In Dreams – Weezer ♪
i don't wanna talk about it 💀 (the repost)
tumblr gets awkward anytime i edit posts with blocks & photos so I've just decided ykw I'll just redo the whole thing ,, so here i am redoing the whole thing (with some adjustments hehe)
someone needs to take these two away from me, because i swear all i do in my free time is make them miserable
mostly steve though, that's entirely my fault though ���� who am i if not to throw anything and everything at my favorites
this drawing isn't exactly to key how i interpret steve's side of the one-sided stevepop headcanon, but it was still definitely fun to envision and put on paper!!!
i reaaaaallly loved making it too unfortunately. and i had a separate panel that I didn't use since it just seemed a bit... ehhh? not only did i just write the lyrics wrong entirely in one line, but i also just thought it did not fit the rest of the comic so i made 3 separate ones for these verses 💀 ,,
(I'll probably post the excluded panel somewhere else later)
this song... god,,, it was stuck in my head all FUCKIGN DAY. that bass line is absolutely addictive. could not reccomend it more than right now, if i had a bass it'd be all you'd hear from me. but i only carry a guitar and... hhh....
the way i used it although admittedly was really fucking random because you would not understand this drawing whatsoever if not for me explaining it's about a headcanon 😭
but really, this song is definitely one of my favorites from weezer and it's just SUCH a banger about yearning.
i apologize once again for beating the fuck out of steve, i promise I'll try to be nice to him for the rest of the week in my art (no promises though LMFAOO)
#yeah#smiles and grins#i have absolutely no regrets making this miserable ass comic – it was so fun 😭#somethin' about doomed stevepop man idk... it's been the only thing stuck on my brain this whole week#that and this song apparently#this comic WAS really fun to experiment with tho. second time making a mini comic! :D#I'll probably experiment with it more in the future .. definitely not anytime soon though#anyhow#sodapop curtis#steve randle#sodapop and steve#stevepop#onesided stevepop#the outsiders#the outsiders fanart#headcanon art#song comic#only in dreams by weezer#weezer lyrics

Feb 13 2022 Feb 16 2025


hello again, feels weird having this be my first post of the year since it's not original but I suppose it's nice that I can finally upkeep tradition. back in 2022, I redrew an awful piece where I tried to render sebastian realistically, and so I decided it would be how I track my traditional skills. so now, 3 years later this time, I can add onto the challenge. this time around, I still feel like I didn't capture how I really think ge would look as a person, and he's maybe even more stylized this time? but that's chill, it's always fun, and maybe I'll finally get it in 3 years :D
I didn't wanna but here's the last post lol
#i could have spent more time on it to fully assess myself. and also probably push the expression more to rlly get him?#but welp with the time I have I'm very glad anyway to be able to touch it at all#now would be the time i would make some promise about an upcoming project that im currently working on. but by now i think I'll just let it#be a suprise :]#hope everyone's been doing alright so far in the year#kuroshitsuji#black butler#kuroshitsuji fanart#fanart#sebastian michaelis#traditional art#redraw#next time ill buy charcoal in advance lol. improvement will hopefully be obvious then

I did some drawings of Anya from Mouthwashing ^^
Btw small tangent but I was almost only listening to sad songs from different musicals while doing this and it worked SO WELL (my favorite being I Dreamed a Dream from Les Mis) so now i'm wondering if Mouthwashing would be a good musical?? That sounds really really bad until you remember that tragedy and horror musicals are not that uncommon, and there is no better way to express strong emotions than through art in all its forms
Ok full drawing under cut for spolier purposes!!
I will admit I didn't play the game or watch a playthrough. I know of it because a friend of mine went on a 20-minute ramble about the plot in no order whatsoever all spoilers included, and then I came straight to Tumblr for fan content. Truly the best way to do things.
And here are the background sketches in case they were unclear:
I got the quote from the wiki..
Enjoy yall ^^

making mutuals on this website is TOO HARD! I tried being Aloof and Mysterious- did not work. Tried being Effusive and Over The Top- did not work. I guess all that's left is to be my genuine self with a kind open heart!! And maybe also post men kissing. The internet seems to like that
#so many cool people reblog my art and leave nice tags and I'm like thanks i would die for u but i don't know how to express this#i want to find more people who think ace attorney lawyers are aspec... and more people who love the sibling and father daughter dynamics...#and more comic artists and original character artists i love you artists who draw their own creations#my wants r so simple i want to be mutuals with people so i can leave goofy tags on their posts without sounding like a weirdo#I'M REALLY NORMAL. everyone says so! I'm probably the most normal person ever!#shout out to my existing mutuals though xoxoxo#anyway I'm gonna post miles edgeworth probably today or this weekend so art is coming i PROMISE#maybe i'll draw the muppets again too. hmm#also i juuust realized effie trinket's name is probably based on the word effusive.... omg bc she's really bubbly and intense it makes sens#laurellala talks

guys ive been drawing so much lately I've been starting to actually hate it 🙁
#i LOVE drawing and always wanna do it#but lately I feel like I'm being forced to draw stuff 🥲 even if it's of my own doing#art class. the school project I just started. the animations I make. other stuff.#I feel like I'm constantly on time limits for them (and for some of them i AM 😭)#even if there's literally 0 reasons for me to rush myself i feel SO guilty if I don't#especially when I share the wips here and ppl leave rlly sweet comments like “this is awesome! I can't WAIT to see it done <3”#those comments make me SO happy#but once my motivation starts to wane after working on a wip for days I'm like “no I HAVE to continue I've basically promised everyone this#even if I didn't... actually promise anything to anyone.... 😬#when I asked for drawing requests a few days ago I was like “haha I'll probably only get one or two ☺️”#then they just kept on coming and coming and I'm like “FUCK. WE'RE REALLY IN IT NOW 😨 SWEET MOTHER OF PEARL WHAT HAVE I DONE”#and even though i KNOW I can take my sweet ass time on them#I'm still like “fuck. I NEED TO DO THIS NOW. I basically begged for drawing requests and it'd make them sad if I don't 😭😭”#if someone sent me a request and I havent drawn anything for you yet I'm sorry 😭😬#I know the logical answer to EVERYTHING would be “take a break doofus”#but the idea of *NOT* DRAWING OUTSIDE OF MY REQUIRED ART STUFF!!??? shiver me timbers#and now I'm just drawing. drawing. drawing. drawing. drawing. guilt. procrastination. more guilt.#I draw for SO MANY “pick how you do it” school projects outside of my art classes mostly bc its the easiest option LMAO#but then I get home after doing that all day and im like. fuck. there's more to draw. more to do. I don't wanna do it.#but I'm extremely bored and dont know what to do without it 🙁#you could probably write a poem out of that or something ngl LOL#anyways sorry for being a bummer. I'm gonna keep drawing for my school project after this bc I havent learned a thing 🥲 ciao ✌️#rant#rant post#vent post#artist vent#blog#*falls over dead*#I'll post like normal after this dw

I definitely did not forget about Pride Month, I promise I didn't. Anyway here's Jason Todd
I messed with this pose so many times I don't know what to do at this point lol
Anyway, Pride Month 2024 headcanons part one: Jason Todd/Red Hood
I will always been an ace Jason person. He's just. He is ace in my head. I go back and forth on his romantic orientation a lot though. Today was an aroace day, tomorrow maybe we'll be back to grayromantic & bi, someday we'll try out demi, idk. I flip flop on Jason's romantic orientation a lot but rest assured he's always on the aromantic spectrum to me <3
Anyway, I gave him a bit more teal eyes in this than I did in the Widow comic. My personal headcanon is that the Lazarus green fades a little bit but never fully goes away, so he never gets his original eye color back. Instead of like a lighter blue his default at this point is this darker, greener teal. I do like him having the bright green eyes so I will pull that out occasionally but this is my Jason design (minus the scars because I absolutely forgot that those were a thing 😔 whoops)
#jason todd#pride month#warrior does art sometimes#tangled threads#dc#ace jason todd#aroace jason todd#this is an ace jason household so help me#hopefully i'll have time later this month to do a couple more of these but if i don't i'll make a big post on the 30th#for the rest of the tangled threads universe that i have figured out so far#he looks so young in this i'm sorry#idk why jay always looks so young in my drawings#it's mostly a him problem i promise that's not just how i draw#it probably is actually#but shh whatever#warrior's thoughts#warrior draws

Did a quick doodle to see if I could still draw him after switching artstyle for a while. Can’t tell if this is proof that I can still draw him or proof that my attempt at artstyle change has completely killed my skills.

Hey so, do you ever feel.. Iffy? Bad? Disappointed? That the Fandom at large only became interested in whistlepaw thanks to faer ship with Frostpaw? I admittedly was feeling a bit like that when the ship first started popping up, although I understand that Whis is quite a background character aside from that (and up until then, more or less). So like I get why fae would gain more traction only now but Idk. I can't help but feel a little sad about it since you've made me develop an attachment to this cat. Just curious about your thoughts on the matter!
I get chronically attached to background nobodies, so I'm used to people not really caring about my faves and I honestly like it more that way because popular characters are A Mess of discourse and drama,
but yeah it is a bit sad that Whis is only really seen as a love interest for Frostpaw in the major fandom, but in a way that's also what fae is in the books. Whistlepaw does nothing outside of supporting Frostpaw (and that annoys me So Much for daily whis purposes, I want more material!!!) and I can't blame the fans for not latching onto background WindClan cat #78 and making up a whole world around them
in the end the fandom portrayal is kinda bland, but inoffensive at least. I made Whistlepaw my little silly and have never really cared about the fandom at large; Fae's basically my oc at this point and if a few people enjoy what I do then I'm content
#morningtalks#I understand where you are coming from#I've just always had a more unbothered approach with how many people I attract to my art#I do want to make the whisses a bit more developped#alas canon doesn't give me a lot#except for Wind (which I will probably read in the summer but technically I'm really not there with the books#(I'm halfway through AvOs on a reading standpoint because I read them in dutch translation)#but I might make an exception for The Whis Content)#so it'll be up to me to add more drama to the whisses#I've been thinking of creating a sort of story that I'd have going on for a few consecutive days#but I do kinda struggle to come up with a believable conflict for this plot that isn't just#''stripekit gets stolen by a bird of prey; go save them! (they survive I promise)''#(which I have thought about last year but I'm not too keen on this idea for a plot)#but an interesting story wants conflict so I'm kinda still just tooling around in the void#but I'll see what nonsense I can get up to as soon as the summer arrives#because a more plot-based whis event could be fun to plan and post day by day#I'll also try to nail down a Real character for Whis#because right now Whis is really one of those amorphous blobs o :) in my head and I want to fix that#with real character traits positive and negative ones#and make whis more interesting because whis is my oc at this point and I will make the art for whis I crave

Warriors prepared himself for Twilight to die and still isn't over it, an analysis by me
I wrote a ton of analysis posts going into further detail on how uncharacteristically down Warriors was acting in nearly every update since Twilight was first injured, so I'm not going to do super in depth on the stuff prior to the most recent arc, but to recap:
(art cred @/linkeduniverse from Sunset 13)
When Twilight was talking about how he could literally feel himself dying, Wars was like the only one who wasn't horrified, he looked accepting in a way. He's a soldier, he fought in a war, he's very used to death. He tried to keep everything together and help the others as best as he could, and I'm just making an assumption that there was a lot he did behind the scenes to help care for the others when Time was with Twilight and Hyrule in Sunset 14. We see Warriors smile and joke around in Dawn 2 when he sees Twilight is okay, but it seems like followig this initial relief he's a bit more down than usual, he also seems a little tired
(Dawn 3)
The Dawn arc really brought out a much different side of him than we'd seen before, he had lower energy and while previously he'd been screwing around and cracking jokes, we saw him tell Legend and Hyrule in Dawn 7 to stop poking fun of Sky and stop interrupting, which was something he himself had literally done in Regroup
and while Warriors does go back to acting more like himself towards the end of the Dawn arc into where we are now, he sticks VERY close to Twilight in like every update since
I mean he was even the one to bring him his horse in Dawn 9
And in today's update, Central Room 2, him telling Time his whole plan really just seems like HE'S the one who desperately needs to keep an eye on Twilight:
Wars, sweetheart... "If you're that concerned, I could keep an eye on him" king it's okay to be worried about your friend, promise 😭
I just think he really really prepared himself for Twilight to die so that he'd be able to keep himself together and help the others grieve and now that Twilight's NOT dead he's a Bit worried about him, because it's probably hitting him now how terrifying the whole situation was. Like yeah he knew it was bad, that's why he's so stressed out about Wild and is being a bit overprotective of him, but I think the EMOTIONS and the stress are starting to hit him, but he can't suddenly let it slam into him so he's trying to play it off like "it's okay Time i'll watch the rancher" as if he ALSO can't leave Twi alone for two seconds. He's just as bad as Time is lmao
anyways this is all just my opinion i just wanted to share my thoughts, hes my special guy 🫶
#thanks for comin' to my ted talk#i did this instead of a homework assignment on why stress is bad for you...#linkeduniverse#linked universe#lu warriors#lu wars#jes talks#jes analysis

You didn't tell him? - LN04



Angst / Fluff
Pairings: LN04 x Verstappen!Reader
WC: 0.7k
Warnings: Swearing
Divider Credit: @anitalenia
You and Lando has mastered the art of subtlety.
Side glances across the garages. Brushed hands in the back of the team hospitality. Late-night facetimes with pillows over the speaker. The occasional escape from the chaos of the paddock for a few hours that felt like yours and yours alone.
It wasn't that you wanted to keep it a secret. It's just... complicated.
You were Max Verstappen's sister. And Lando? Well, he was Lando Norris, Max's friend and occasional rival, depending on the day.
Max wasn't exactly known for his chill.
You knew that doing this was extremely risky. But you also knew how your brother could be when it came to you - protective, territorial, and stubborn as hell.
So you made a deal with Lando early on.
"When the tie feels right," you had promised, tangled in hotel sheets after the Canadian GP, "I'll tell him."
He had nodded, trust in his eyes. “I’m not going anywhere.”
But weeks had passed. Then races. Your secret held strong... until it didn't.
It started at Silverstone.
You thought you were careful slipping out of Lando's driver room after the race. But apparently 'careful' didn't include watching for Charles walking by with his PR manager.
The next day... Lando got a text.
Charles: So… you and Verstappen’s sister, huh? Brave. Or stupid. Haven’t decided yet.
Lando almost dropped his phone.
You were waiting for him at the McLaren hospitality when he stormed in, cheeks flushed, phone in hand.
“You told Charles?”
"What? No!" you said, blinking. "Wait... HE KNOWS??"
"He saw you leave. I guess it doesn't take much to do the math and work it out."
"Oh fucking hell."
Lando ran a hand through his hair. "How many more people know y/n? Did we wait too long? Because if Charles knows..."
You bit your lip. "Lando, I'll tell Max. I will. I just... he's been so stressed about the championship lately, and I didn't want to distract him."
Lando gave you a look. “You think he’d rather hear it from Charles in the middle of a media pen?”
Your stomach sank. “…No.”
“Then we need to tell him. Now.”
You spent the next two hours trying to figure out the best way to break it to Max. Lando suggested doing it at dinner - "You know, over steak, like bros do."
You vetoed that instantly.
By the time you worked up the nerve, it was already late. Max had gone to bed. You chickened out.
Again.
The next morning... EVERYTHING exploded
You were getting a coffee in the Red Bull hospitality when Max walked in, tossing his phone onto the table with more force than necessary.
"Why is Charles asking me about Lando?"
You froze.
"What?"
He looked directly at you. "He said, and I quote, 'Hope you gave Lando the talk already.' Care to explain."
Your heart pounded. You opened your mouth, but nothing came out.
That’s when Lando walked in. Perfect timing, as always. Well Oh Fuck
“Hey, Max,” he said casually... until he saw your face.
Then Max looked between the two of you, and realization hit. Hard.
“…Are you serious?”
“Max...”
“You’re dating Lando? And you didn’t tell me?”
You winced. “I was going to...”
"When? After the wedding? Or when I walked in on you two making out in my driver room?"
Lando raised his hands. "Okay, that was one time..."
“You made out in my driver room?”
You both went dead silent.
Max rubbed his face like he was physically restraining himself from throwing something. “You know, if it had been anyone else, I’d have probably decked them. But it’s Lando. And that’s somehow worse.”
“Worse?!” Lando said, offended.
“You’re supposed to be my friend.”
“I am your friend! Which is why I’ve been respectful and didn’t just...”
“Didn’t just what, Lando?”
“Okay!” you cut in, stepping between them. “Let’s not do the testosterone Olympics right now. Yes, we should’ve told you. I should’ve told you. That’s on me.”
Max looked at you, exasperated but quiet.
“I care about him,” you said softly. “And he cares about me. This isn’t just a fling.”
There was a pause. A long one.
Finally, Max let out a breath.
“If you’re going to date my sister,” he said to Lando, “you better treat her like she’s the most important thing in your life.”
“I already do,” Lando said seriously.
Max gave him one last glare, then turned back to you.
“…Still mad at you.”
“Noted.”
He walked away with a muttered, “Don’t get caught in my driver room again.”
You turned to Lando, who was already smirking.
“Progress?”
“Big progress,” you grinned. “We only got mildly threatened.”

As promised, welcome to
Fun biology in TOTK’s designs
I'll keep this post updated as I go through the game. I'm going to skip the more general identifiable things like apples (they're based on apples!) because there are tons of more unusual species to talk about.
Overall, the really interesting thing I've noticed is that many of the more unique Earth-based lifeforms in TOTK are super ancient, like predating dinosaurs ancient, which is a really cool tie-in to the overall time-hopping plotline of TOTK. Specifically, they're found in the new areas (caves, depths) while the surface remains a bit more normal.
(There will be no plot spoilers in this post, and also I've barely gotten into the plot because I'm spending all my time wandering, so shhh no spoilers in the tags for like a month please.)
Most recent additions: More lilies, irises, wild ginger, spiny bones, pigeon extravaganza, plus added some more real photo comparisons to old stuff.
PLANTS
Bryophytes my beloved. Bryophytes are among the earliest land plants, waaaay predating flowers and even seeds. In our world, they’re small by necessity—they lack vascular systems to help move water around like other plants, so they have to stay small and moist (hence their frequency in caves in TOTK—though they do need some light in real life.)
In TOTK they’re quite large and I think that’s very sexy and art directors should give us big bryophytes more often
Anyway, there are three types of bryophytes: mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. First image pair is a moss, second is a liverwort. Those red-brown and palm-tree-like structures, respectively, are their reproductive structures.


Real liverwort photo © Graham Calow, NatureSpotUK
Not yet spotted: Hornworts! Did they forget the third bryophyte sister :(
I think these next guys are probably lycopods (specifically club moss, which is not a true bryophyte moss, thanks science.) Very old, but vascular, so they're a bit more evolutionarily recent than bryophytes.

Real photo © Gloria Hanley Schoenholtz, virginiawildflowers
All the enormous curly-topped trees in the depths: Ferns! They curl like that until they unfurl. Another very old plant, though younger than bryophytes and lycopods.

Real photo via The Cosmonaut, Wikipedia
Brightblooms and some of the other giant plants in the depths: Possibly based on a cycad? Again, a very ancient plant lineage. At this point, evolutionarily, they've developed seeds—that giant cone in the center is called a strobilus, and that's the seed structure.

These next few plants are angiosperms, meaning they produce flowers. Angiosperms are a more recent evolutionary lineage—still many millions of years old, but it took a while to develop flowers as a reproductive tactic.
Sundelions (left) are a fun recolor of a lily. There are also some scenery lilies (right) in various places—there are yellow ones that spring up when you turn on a lightroot (which gives them literal and thematic connection to the surface) and several other varieties, including tiger lilies, throughout Hyrule. Fun note, the sundelions appear to only have 5 stamen, while other lilies in the game (correctly) have 6. Seems to be an intentional decision to make it a more distinct fantasy species.


These next ones are Peruvian lilies/Alstroemeria, just used as a scenery plant but a very fun inclusion. Fun fact, not true lilies, so they're not deadly to cats like true lilies are.

Real photo © Dick Culbert, Wikipedia
Plum trees: These are also called out as plum trees in game! There's a journal in Kakariko that refers to the plum orchards.


Okay I'm a little proud of figuring this one out. Bomb flowers blend a few botanical references. Superficially, the fruit resembles a type of seed pod called a capsule—specifically it's very similar to a poppy capsule. The little red thing in the center is a nice addition to resemble both a flower stigma (reproductive part that leads to the ovary) and a bomb fuse. Now, poppy capsules disperse their seeds via wind, but there are other plants who do explode their seeds outwards as a dispersal tactic! This is called explosive dehiscence.
There is one tree in particular called the sandbox tree, AKA monkey-no-climb or dynamite tree (yes, really.) Their capsules look more like little pumpkins, but are known for violently exploding when ripe—they can launch seeds at 150 miles per hour (250 km/h) and spread them roughly 200 feet (60 m) away. The photo comparison is a poppy capsule but you should def go look up dynamite tree videos.
Real photo © PommeGrenade, pixabay
Fire fruits (and the other elemental fruits) grow on the same generic plant that looks kind of like it has grape leaves. Fire fruits resemble a specific botanical thing too though—the black netting is a papery calyx (part of the flower) seen in a nightshade genus, Physalis (golden berries, tomatillos, etc.)
Real photo © Helene Rogers, Alamy
I think this stuff is an Asarum, AKA wild ginger. I was actually puzzling over it until I walked past some today and went HEY
Not sure of the exact species but they're very green and heart-shaped and love being dense and low to the ground.

Real photo via David Stang, Wikipedia
Irises: Love irises, one of my favorite flowers and words, very happy to see them in game.

MISCELLANEA
Cup lichen! Lichen is not a plant, but a symbiotic structure of an algae + a fungi. Cup lichen is just a type of lichen formation that has a kind of vertical cup-like structure.

Real photo via Bernard Spragg
Geology crossover! Go look carefully at some of the whiter walls in the depths—they look like they have fossils of coral and other undersea hard-structured animals in them.
ANIMALS
Sticky lizards: Based on Diplocaulus, a very early (now extinct) amphibian! Their skulls are wacky. We're not sure whether the long sides stood out separately or were smoothly connected to the body by skin flaps, but the separate arrow-like shape is the most popular rendition.
Deep firefly: Might be a stretch because it could just be a multi-winged fantasy critter, but I think the "wings" and antennae are very reminiscent of Anomalocaris, an ancient aquatic arthropod.
Update: Other folks in the notes/tags have pointed out that they're probably based on a cryptid that's especially popular in Japan: skyfish AKA rods! They show up in photos and people think they're an alien lifeform. In reality, they're an optical blur created when a lower quality video captures intermittent flaps of an insect's wings, leaving sort of a many-winged smear in the photo. Thanks to all who left info!
Little frox: Another stretch because it totally could just be a Hinox-like frog, but every time I see the little ones I can't help but think of like...Ichthyostega, Mastodonsaurus, Eryops, and other early amphibians. They were pretty hefty—little frox size or bigger—and had with little waddling legs. This is less "I think it's definitely this" and more "it makes me happy when I picture frox as primitive amphibians."
I haven't detailed many of the scenery animals around Hyrule because most are identifiable with the camera function—it'll tell you that a certain animal is a heron or porgy, for example, and those groups are real, even though the exact species is made up. But I think the pigeons are fun because they're all crested pigeons. Pink-necked green pigeons may have also been the inspiration for the color palettes on the wood and rainbow pigeons.

Spiny bones: Not a specific critter, but those spiny bones that you can find lying around Eldin Canyon are vertebrae—possibly from the same thing that left those big rib cages around? The top spike is the spinous process where muscles attach, the littler spikes on the side are the transverse and articular processes. The dark O in the center is the spinal cord.

Also I made a friend who finally recognizes my purpose in Hyrule.

That's all I've got for now! Will add more as I keep playing.

ldr bf art calling his gf for phone sex!
– cw: use of drugs (only mentioned!!) mommy kink :3
– i may or may not have written this from my own recent experience :3
"hi" art sniffled as he placed his phone against his ear, leaning against his headboard.
"hi baby, you okay?" your voice is so soft, so full of concern that made art melt. he nods, even though you can't see him. "yeah, yeah– uh, patrick gave me a pill"
you hum, encouraging him to go on. "and i just, couldn't stop thinking about you." his voice gets low and breathier, he shifts on his bed to adjust his pants. "it– it hurts"
"you want me to help you out?"
he whimpers, "please"
"please what?"
"please mommy" and you laugh, you laugh at how pathetic and needy he sounds. all for you.
"be a good boy and listen to mommy, hm?"
"yes, yes mommy. i'll be good, i promise" he bucks his hips up slightly, desperate to feel something. "palm yourself, baby. slowly"
he nods, you can tell he's already doing it the way he's moaning through the phone. it feels good, but it still hurts– the way he's restrained in the tight material of his jeans. "that's it, good boy" if it didn't hurt that much he probably would've finished already.
"alright, take it off." he drops his phone on his pillow, scrambling to unzip his jeans and throw them to the floor. the sight of the precum staining his gray boxers almost made him gasp, he wishes you could see it. he wishes you could see how horny he is for you. he picks up his phone, placing it right back on his ear. "d-done, mommy"
"the tip, baby. run your thumb across it, want you to feel how wet you are" with your permission, he places his hand around his cock, running his thumb on the leaking tip. he shivers at the sensation, watching as the precum stick to his thumb as he raises it slightly.
"spit on your hand for me?" and he does, he listens to you so well. he didn't miss how your voice sounds breathier, images of you laying on your bed with your hand inside your panties flashing in his mind fills his stomach with heat. "y-you touching yourself, mommy?"
you hum, "yes, pretty boy" and you give him permission to touch himself however he wants with the condition that he doesn't stop cumming until you do as well. and he whines, both excited to finally touch himself and nervous because he knows it takes a while for you to cum with just your fingers. but the pill that he took made his mind hazy and his cock throb harder that he just moaned a yes.
he hears you touch yourself, whining about how much you miss his cock, how bad you want him to feel how tight you are as you thrust your fingers inside you. "fuck, baby. made me so wet, wish you could taste me"
he gasps, feeling the familiar sensation building up in the pit of his stomach. "m-mommy, g'na cum, mommy"
"mm, go ahead baby. wanna hear you cum, want you to think of filling me up– fuck, want your warmth so bad, pretty boy"
he thrust his wet cock into his hands, bucking his hips as he watched ropes of cum land all over his stomach, staining his shirt. he groans, telling you how hot you sound and how good it feels but it all comes out gibberish, his brain muddled from the pleasure. it doesn't help that the drugs he took heightened the sensation.
"that's it, you're such a good boy aren't you?" your sweet voiced pulled him back to reality, he felt as if he reached the stars– seriously. "rest first, baby. join me again when you're ready, yeah?"
he breathes out a small yes, listening to you moan for him and within a few minutes, he's hard again. his second orgasm hits harder, making him teary eyed. he couldn't help but drool as he cried out for you, almost drunk in pleasure. "f-fuck mommy, need you. i need to feel you, please mommy. a-ah, cumming. 'm cumming"
by the third time, he's face down on his mattress and rutting his hips into it. his tip is pink, glistening and sensitive, staining the sheets with his fluid. he's full on sobbing at this point, not wanting more than for you to cum. "cum for me, mommy, p-please. i've been good, make a mess on my cock, mommy. you sound so pretty like this"
by the end of it, both of you are breathing heavily through the phone. a moment of silence before you burst into giggles. "you're so cute, artie."
he rolls his eyes, chuckling. "i feel like such a slut right now. i've got no pants on and i have cum everywhere"
he hears you smile through the phone, "if it makes you feel better, my fingers and my thighs are all sticky."
"i miss you so much" he sighs, "can't wait to see you"
"i can't wait either, baby. next time, i'm not gonna let your cum go to waste."
