BIOGRAPHY

marigold was raised by her grandparents in billings, montana. her parents had her at a young age and we not stable enough to raise her. ultimately she was given to her maternal grandparents to care for and they became her official guardians.

her childhood was relatively quiet and comfortable, except for the one unique feature of her being a witch. thankfully her grandmother had also been granted with magic in her veins and had been able to marigold through the world of magic.

she would never admit it, but the complete lack of a relationship with her parents caused marigold to believe she's not worthy of love. on the flip side, she is always looking for that external validation to prove she *is* worthy of it.

marigold was what someone would call boy crazy growing up. she was that girl who was never single, always moving into a relationship after she left one. and her personality would often change to match her current partner. she has always been a sweet girl, but she lacks a sense of identity.

after college marigold began to attend community college and that is where she met her most recent ex. he was magnanimous and charismatic and made her feel as though she was the sun in the sky. and for a while everything seemed perfect. but after a year she started to see the cracks in his armor, and that was when things became less then perfect.

he was a witch like her and while he was never horrible to her he did envision a world different from what they knew. one where witches did not hide in the shadows but instead were open and powerful. she did not give the ideas much thought, until he began to dabble in dark magic.

they dated for four years, and it was then marigold found out she was pregnant. that was the wake up call she needed. what would he do if her daugther was magically inclined, or not? what plans did he have? as his ability to perform and master dark magic grew stronger every day, her grandmother helped her make a plan. she told her about a safe haven for witches called cardinal hill and sent her on her way.

that was six years ago. marigold has since gone by the name goldie and she's done her best to create a life for herself and her daughter, willa, that is safe and comfortable. she struggles, but she knows it's better then the alternative. she currently has a job at the apothecary and is trying her hardest to save money, while also being the only source of income for her and her daughter.

CHARACTER TRAITS

positive: warm, maternal, creative, intelligent negative: flighty, paranoid, distant, stubborn

HEADCANONS

this is the first time in goldie's life that she has been single and not actively trying to fix herself with a partner. does that mean she's learned her lesson regarding love? no, just that she didn't have the time for it. but she still falls in love with the first person who even shows her a moment of kindness or affection.

when goldie moved to cardinal hill she had a suitcase of items and a large sum of cash that her grandmother had given her to help her start a new life. with it she was able to buy a small, run down home in lower cardinal for her and her daughter. she has been trying to fix it up and make it as homey as she could, but she finds she doesn't have as much free time as she'd like to work on house projects.

with a small remainder of the money she brought with her she was able to buy a few chickens and sells eggs and produce from her garden to make extra money.

due to the nature of her exes magical abilities, goldie has become a bit paranoid with the number of protection charms she has planted around her home. she also made a shield charm for both her daughter and herself, a small daisy charm that hands on a necklace around their necks. never to be taken off.

CONNECTIONS

beau proctor. the lovely neighbor. (+) goldie and beau live near each other in lower cardinal and quickly struck up a friendship. beau gifted goldie her first chicken and in the years that followed they've spent many a night bringing items from their respective gardens together and having a family dinner. beau is one of the people in town goldie feels closest to, and see's him almost as an older brother.

nate windsor. mr fix it. (+/-) goldie lives in a run down house that needs a lot of tlc, and she's finally at a point where she can try to start working on it to make it the home of her dreams. nate, being a contractor, was the obvious choice to help her through these projects. it also doesn't hurt that he's pretty to look at.

ori james. the one who gets mothered. (+) being a mother herself, it's not hard to become the mom friend of a group. and that's what's happened with ori. she's noticed they have a tendency to forget to hydrate or eat breakfast and goldie has sort of made it her job to always check in.

very UO but if they couldn’t bring back Jake, they should have stuck Peyton and Julian together as endgame over Leyton! Julian and Peyton had already supposedly been in love, they both like cities (LA, NYC etc) and it makes sense they’d live there due to their careers, and both Peyton and Julian for a lot of their time on the series seemed ambivalent about starting a family. Also, Julian is smart and on the introverted side like Lucas but a little goofy like Jake - a combination of the traits Payron goes for! Meanwhile, we saw so clearly in season 5 that Brooke and Lucas both loved being back in one tree hill, they both seem to have jobs they can do anywhere, they both very much prioritize settling down and having a family, they were already unofficially co-parenting Angie, they still have that seemingly effortless and magical connection, they balance each other out perfectly…I could go on!

Honestly, I wouldn't have minded that one bit. First of all, Peyton deserved a million times better than Lucas by the time he finally got around to choosing her. She was lacking any sort of spine or self respect when she ran to that airport. As irritating as I found her character for large stretches of season 5, ultimately she wasn't in the greatest place and only imagined that her happiness could be attainable if she won Lucas back. Now to get back to what you were saying. I definitely think Peyton was better off and would have thrived most living away from Tree Hill in a bigger city where her dreams could really take off. I mean, the show really said that because Peyton wasn't exactly where she wanted to be at age 22 that this made her a failure and retroactively meant her decision not to rush down the aisle at age 19 had been a terrible, awful, shameful mistake. Seasons 6 and 7 Julian would have made a lot of sense as a partner for the ambitious Peyton who had faced so much trauma and pain in her hometown. STRONGLY agreed about your points re: Peyton and Julian being ambivalent and sometimes even negative about settling down in Tree Hill compared to Brooke and Lucas who genuinely loved it there and couldn't imagine raising their families elsewhere. I'm aware every aspect of this was unintentional considering the possibility of a Brucas endgame post season 3 was basically taboo, but in terms of compatibility Brooke/Lucas and Peyton/Julian made the most sense. If we couldn't have Jake back for Peyton, obviously. In the end, Peyton still left Tree Hill, something Lucas never wanted. And Julian settled for staying in Tree Hill for Brooke even though he'd rather be in LA. Relationships are all about compromise, but it's interesting how their situations sort of parallel. You should go on, because I love reading your thoughts! I genuinely think if not for Peyton's continued interest in Lucas and Lucas having an unfortunate history of making the same mistakes over and over again, Lucas would have eventually ended up with Brooke. Season 5 Brucas had such an ease around each other. Their goals lined up perfectly. The chemistry was still there. Their communication was really solid and both went out of their way to emotionally support the other. Maybe it's because the pressure was off considering neither was expressing their feelings, but you see them taking care of Angie and the way Lucas considered proposing to Brooke and instinctively know that they could have had it all. It's really depressing.

In turn, Randall squeezed her hand back, as he drew in a deep breath. Despite his best efforts, clinging to the notion that his parents would at the very least be understanding once everything was laid out on the table for them, seeing that Emily really meant him no harm and that they truly were in love, there was no denying that growing cold pit in the bottom of his stomach, worsened only by her suggestion. A part of him sort of wanted to (however lamely) protest, instead suggest they save it for another day, and just enjoy themselves for now...

...he knew, in his heart, she was right. They would have to tell them at some point, and it was better to do it now rather than later; Randall had never been one keen to lie to his parents, and he knew the guilt of keeping such a massive secret from them would eat him up from the inside out. Thus, it was just better to get it out of the way-for both his and Emily's ease of mind.

"You're right," he sighed, as he brought her closer, wrapping his arm around her as he nodded, "They...they do deserve to know. I'll, uh...I'll give them a call in a little while, tell 'em when I'll be home, and that you'll be with me. We'll...we'll tell them together."

He punctuated this with another loving kiss, this one pressed to her cheek as he reassured her, "It'll be alright, Emily."

Meme? Smut meme. - Accepting - @narratingastory

Hasn't she already dropped to her knees, time and time again, for him? What made this time any different? Was he planning new tortured for her? Something even more .. Dangerously cruel and disgusting? There's a thrill at the very thought of it, spine prettily curving as she arches to peer up at him.

How easily she knelt for him, how simple it seemed for her to submit to him. Was it her nature or his own? Did the reasons matter? There she was, between his feet, a beautiful temptation for ruin. There was no..hate in the act. Not anymore. She gave up her control to him and waited for whatever sick, twisted act he came up with.

once again lost in orv brainrot and my one true and only agenda for the novel aka orv being umineko-coded aka orv is, first and foremost and always and entirely and essentially - a love story.

Hellraiser: Revelations opens exactly like i'd expect a gay porno of the late 2000s/early 2010s to open, so let's see how this particular gore/thriller goes.

maybe i enjoy watching shitty TV that has no political importance. maybe i like my mind being quiet for a bit. not all of us have the capacity to be analytical and critical all the time. sometimes i like seeing something on my screen and going “oh that’s nice”

[monster-noises]

been wandering around my house for that last hour talking to myself about my Being Single Situation and Two things; I really just need to settle into the fact that I gotta log outta the dating apps, delete them Forever, and just take the Deepest fucking breath and wait however Fucking long I have to wait to meet someone in person or online (as in like.. on tumblr or through a Game or something) because that is the ONLY way this works out. And just..... Deal with how bad it hurts emotionally. And Two: I have legitimate concerns that I'm never going to find anything because I think about it too much. both in a "you only find what you're looking for when you stop looking for it" magical nonsense sense, and a "if you create to elaborate a fantasy nothing in real life will ever live up to it" reality check sense and I Don't really have any ideas about what to do for Either of these things. Cause daydreaming is both hard to control and kinda the only thing I have that makes it Hurt Less (which feels so stupid to say, I know it's not but it feels just Vapid and dumb)

On one hand my one sister is Big Stupid and pregnant again, which I wouldn't care as much about if this wasn't the fourth kid with the fourth shitty fucking father who will do nothing but cause even MORE pain and suffering to my sister's life, and on the other hand my other sister keeps sending me apartment ads which is very sweet because she ALSO just had a baby (in August and also her situation is stable, I'm very proud she managed to pull off what she did considering where she's come from. Her boys, especially Older Nephew were SO excited for the baby and I love listening to Older Nephew talk about his sister, it's so heartening to see him so happy and excited. Something tells me my other sisters 3 girls won't be nearly as impressed, especially not Oldest Niece and it's gotten to a point where I feel somewhat compelled to try and mentor this poor kid but I don't know SHIT about kids and don't want to let this poor kid down like everyone else has, she deserves better than that).

Granted my whole life I've preferred Apartment Sister to Making Poor Life Choices sister but also recently Making Dumb Choices has made some serious improvements to her life, very impressive ones too, so it's just disappointing to watch her backslide especially into the same bullshit she's been doing since she was 18 and is now 32. But at least I'm not the only one apartment hunting 😂😂 her efforts are super appreciated given that she just moved herself as well, plus having a fresh baby (very cute baby too). Now with any luck my OTHER sibling will get her shit together hopefully before we're on child number six with father number six with all the same fucking personality flaws and mental health problems not one of these men take even remotely seriously because that's exhausting to me let alone my damn sister.

A Subdued Stud

NSFW

Contains dubcon, bondage, gangbang, transformation (male->NB (Masc -penis +vagina)), horse furries, bodywriting, dehumanisation, humiliation, oral, vaginal, kidnapping

There are three horses in the small booth. Well, that depends on your philosophical positioning, given that two of them are images of the third, though there has clearly been some changes.

Let's start with the similiarities, as a good starting point. He's an equine, of course, prettily dappled in grey. Soft horsehair over sleek, solid muscle that'd carry him for quite a while in swift athleticism. Not the sheer bulk of some of the draft-types, but still strong. A long mane made to flow in wind, whether wind of motion or of nature. Blue-green eyes that shine with intelligence, and perhaps a little nervousness? Well, more than a little in the physical beast, but even in the first picture, where his eyes can be seen, there's a hint of the prey about him.

That first picture is quite the show in its way, the stallion's lean form shining in the sun, casually posing in sports garb, the medal in his fist almost as bright as his mane, body and badge both drawing admiring looks from the onlookers. Though his attention is on the camera, his attitude is one that will soon be returning those looks, for man and woman both.

The second picture is more candid, though no less attractive, sprawled out on a bed, asleep in the silver moonlight. He wears nothing but tight briefs that bulge in a way that would shame no few insecure men. His physique is on full display, the muscles exposed to the camera-wielding intruder, and from there to any that pass the booth. A second person can be seen here, though dark clothes hides them in shadow, only the glint of the cuffs in their hands betrays their presence to the sharp-eyed.

And finally, the present stud. Well, maybe not a stud anymore, that bulging cock replaced by a cunt, slick with feminine arousal and masculine seed, dripping from that fucked hole. He might not be cuffed, but he's far more securely restrained, strapped into the tiny space with only the space to strain those pretty muscles and search with those pretty eyes, hoping to find or forge an escape that isn't there. Whimpering whines that mix pleasure and fear and pleasurable fear leak around a ring-gagged mouth, drooling its own cummy fluids to match the horse's pussy. He's even more vulnerable here, his holes positioned for the pleasure of others, though the flush of his body indicates he's taking no small pleasure himself. Those who bothered to comment clearly took note, the scrawled messages defacing his hide taunting the 'slut' for his enjoyment of the processes that lead to every smudged tally on his thighs, every tick on his throat. Whatever he once was, he's broken in now, just a toy for others who take pleasure in the breaking, leaving him with the pictured reminders of what they took, and his own shame at loving what has been done.

So I didn’t think I would be making another post so soon (I’m actually supposed to be working right now, but I’m doing what the kids call “procrastinating”... mostly because I don’t want to work 😭) but I just noticed my follower count:

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Not too shabby for a blog that I only made for this fic specifically - because you can’t post pictures on AO3 (or you can, but it’s super difficult? I’m confused by tutorials) - and only has one fic.

I promise you all that there will be more, I’m just so overloaded with work right now that I haven’t been able to finish the fic I’ve literally been working on since... *has to check notes because it’s been so long I’ve forgotten* ...April.

*sigh*

So we have about... two months? Three months until I can post the next fic. It’s maybe halfway done in the writing stage, but then I need to let it rest for a bit and then read it again so I can find all (or at least most) of the mistakes. Then I need to make all the texts (and that took like two straight weeks last time and a lot of carpal tunnel inflamation).

I can give a hint though, in case anyone is curious what might be in it, so I’ll just post the screencap I’ve been holding on to, that inspired it:

(Thank you for the idea @luvvvx )

You’ve heard of One Set of Idiots, now try Two Sets of Idiots!

Also, it’s going to be an Ateez fic. (I’ll be changing the icon and theme of the blog when we get closer lol)

So again, I apologize that this is taking so long, I just have no time 😭

But it will happen.
