I forget how the West was won I forget if this was ever fun I just learned these people only raise you to cage you

It was fun traveling around the world with your dad and brother. Your father had raised you and your brother in F1. But once Lance got his big shot in F1, you noticed that your father only raised you to cage you.

When Fernando, the older Spaniard, joined the team, he noticed the way the team and your family would cage you from anything relating the F1. They just wanted you to be there and sit pretty supporting your brother.

You were watching the team work on repairs to Fernando's car. The mechanics were doing stuff wrong but you didn't want to make comments. Your father would get mad if he found out you made comments on the livery instead of doing your actual job of 'sitting still and looking pretty.'

Fernando walks to the garages to see how the progress is going. He notices you watching the mechanics working on his car. He knew you had something to say by the way you looked. "Y/N, any input on the car?" He knew what your situation was with your father and brother, but didn't want to comment on it. Technically it was none of his business since your father was his employer. "I know you have something to say."

You then explain to Fernando and the mechanics about the problems the mechanics were ignoring. Fernando watches you in awe as you explain. "This car needs to be in top shape if you want him to win this weekend." You smile at Fernando and he smiles back at you.

Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best Clutching their pearls, sighing "What a mess" I just learned these people try and save you cause they hate you

It was the Chinese Grand Prix, you and your sister plus her husband were dressed in your Sunday best. If you couldn't race in F1 at least you were going to the paddock in your best looks.

Lance had made contact with Daniel during the safety car period. Scotty, Chloe's husband, was a mess since he's friends with Daniel. "This is a mess," Scotty tells Chloe stressed out about the collision. "I need to go to RB to check if he's okay." Chloe nods an okay before Scotty leaves.

Once the cars went back to the garage, you run in there to check if Lance is okay. Before you can get into the garage, security had politely told you it was a restricted area.

"What do you mean restricted area? I'm family and part of the Aston Martin team." You explain to security.

"Sorry Ms. Stroll but direct orders from your family that you can't come into the garage anymore." Now you were furious. "Who the hell from my family would say that?"

"Your father and brother." You turn around and see that Fernando was standing right there. "Let her come in. She's my guest."

"Are you sure sir?" The security guard asks. Fernando nods yes and the security guard sighs before he lets you in.

"Why would my father and brother do that?" You asked Fernando pissed off of what happened earlier.

"I don't know why they would do that. All I know is these people try and save you cause they hate you." You stop on your tracks confused at what Fernando was saying. You ask Fernando what he meant by that. "Your father says he doesn't want you to race in F1 because he's trying to save you but it's because he knows you're a better driver than Lance. I've seen how you drive in the car and the statistics don't lie Y/N."

They slammed the door on my whole world The one thing I wanted

You were too shocked to even speak. Your father sabotaged your whole F1 career just for Lance.

Before you could even speak, Lance runs up to you and Fernando. "Y/N what are you doing here? Security isn't supposed to let you in."

From there you got angry at your brother so you yell at him. "Yeah security didn't let me because of you and father. You two are assholes."

"Woah Y/N calm down let's not make a scene."

"Make a scene! Lance we've raced together ever since we were little. My dream has always been to be in F1. Father slammed the door on my whole world because you're not a better driver than me." You yell out explaining to Lance.

Fernando notices all the media taking photos of the argument. "Y/N we should go to my paddock room. The race is about to resume." You nod yes to Fernando before saying one last time to Lance.

"I'm tired of watching you race Lance. Wasting a seat for one hell of a driver to replace you." You walk away with Fernando to go watch the race in his paddock room.

f1news TROUBLE WITH THE STROLL SIBLINGS: After the red flag at the Chinese Grand Prix, Y/N Stroll was yelling at her brother with Fernando Alonso there. Witnesses say that Y/N was furious at her brother and father for restricting her access in the Aston Martin garage. This also included Y/N yelling at Lance about their father slamming the door on her dreams to become an F1 driver because she is the better driver than Lance.

user1 GO OFF QUEEN GO TELL THEM THE TRUTH 🗣️

user2 Y/N has always been the better driver than Lance. Lawerence is stupid for not putting her in that seat instead of Lance.

user3 did y'all see how Fernando was on Y/N side 🥹

user4 the perfect comeback for Y/N is to date Fernando. I know that Lance and Lawerence are going to be PISSED!!

Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid Tendrils tucked into a woven braid Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all

After the Chinese Grand Prix, you decided to financially separate from your family. You needed to start new. You've been a dutiful daughter all your life because the plans were laid out for you. Once your family didn't let you race in F1, the tendrils of your relationship loosened and became chaos. You grew up precocious about being in F1 and that has never grown off you.

It was the weekend of the Miami Grand Prix. Susie Wolff had pulled some strings for you to let you be in F1 Academy. You were now the driver of Charlotte Tilbury Beauty F1 Academy Team.

He was chaos, he was revelry Bedroom eyes like a remedy Soon enough the elders had convened Down at the city hall

Fernando had messaged you after your first win in F1 Academy. He had asked if you wanted to celebrate together by going to dinner. You obviously said yes because it was Fernando. Who wouldn't say yes to a hot Spanish driver.

"Congrats on your first win." Fernando greets you before kissing you on the cheek. He had never greeted you that way before you.

"Thank you Nando." You blush before you two order your meals. Once you order your meals you continue the conversation. "I wouldn't have done it without you. If that day didn't happen I don't think I would have left."

Fernando reaches out to your hand over the table. "I'm happy that you left. I missing seeing you in the garage but I couldn't stand the way your family treated you."

"You miss seeing me in the garage?" You ask blushing that Fernando had confessed to you that he missed you.

"Yes, I've always had feelings for you Y/N." You were shocked at what Fernando was confessing to you. "I wanted to tell you but your family had convened. If I ever made a move on you they would punish you." Fernando is still holding your hand.

You smile at Fernando. "Thank you for protecting me when I was there. But they can't punish me now." You give Fernando a passionate kiss after your confession. You knew Fernando was chaos and revelry but his eyes were like a remedy.

"Stay away from her" The saboteurs protested too much Lord knows the words we never heard Just screeching tires and true love

user3 thank god y/n left her family to be in f1 academy and brought alonso with her

****

After a romantic night with Fernando, you woke up with breakfast in bed. "I ordered room service for us, bonita pretty."

"Thank you Nando." You give Fernando a kiss before you start eating. While you're eating, you open your phone and see messages from friends

New Messages

Oscar's Wifey 🧡: OMG YOU AND FERNANDO ARE DATING!!

Little Wolff 🐺: GIRL!!! You need to spill the tea on your new relationship with Fernando ☕️

"Nando." Fernando looks up to you. "How do some of the wags know we're dating?" You show Fernando your messages while he's drinking his coffee.

"It's probably the media. I should've done something small so the media couldn't see us." You could tell that Fernando was anxious that people found out that you two were together.

To calm his nerves, you give him a kiss. "It's okay. They were going to find out anyway."

"Did any of your family text you?" He asks.

"I blocked most of them except for Chloe and Scotty." Fernando's phone goes off and he checks it. It was a message from Lawerence Stroll.

New Message

Lawerence Stroll: Stay away from her

"Don't answer it." You tell Fernando. "I'm a grown lady and I can do whatever I want. We're happy and that's all that matter." You both smile at each other before finishing your breakfast.

lance_stroll really y/n 🤢

user1 lance stroll more like lance sTROLL user2 why can't you be happy and supportive for your sister for once? not everything is about you. 🙄

And now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned Screaming "But Daddy I love him!" I'm having his baby No, I'm not, but you should see your faces

You were in Paris doing media for Charlotte Tilbury. Fernando had tagged along with you since the race wasn't until next week.

"So Y/N, we see that your man is here to support you at the event. How has it been going in your relationship?" A reporter asks as you're walking down the read carpet.

"Our relationship is doing really well." You smile while Fernando is hugging you on the red carpet. "We've known each other for a while and our relationship has grown from there."

"We see that Fernando is very affectionate with you." She smiles before adding. "How did your family react to hearing the news?"

"They found out through the media which isn't ideal but yeah." You give a faint smile. "They can't do anything about it. Fernando has always had feelings for me and it took me leaving my family to find out. I don't care what they think because like Ariel said 'but daddy, I love him.'" Your quote from the little mermaid made the reporter laugh.

"Any upcoming plans for the future?"

"Yes," You smile before continuing. "Fernando and I agreed we would take the next step in our relationship and move in together. We have to because we're having a baby."

The reporter jaw drops before Fernando clears the joke. "She's just joking. We want to move in together so we can spend more time together while we're not racing. Of course we want children together one day, but I know her F1 career is just starting and I want her to focus on that." You smile at Fernando before giving him a kiss.

God save the most judgmental creeps Who say they want what's best for me Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see

It was the weekend of the Canadian Grand Prix, your sister and Scotty had asked you to come to the race to spend time with you. You tried saying no but it was your older sister and you couldn't say no. At least you could support Fernando this weekend.

Since Fernando was racing at this moment, you walked by yourself to the Aston Martin paddock. From there you saw your sister and Scotty.

"Ahh you're here!" Chloe runs up to you and gives you a big hug. You haven't physically seen Chloe since the Chinese Grand Prix. "I thought you weren't going to come."

"Well you are my older sister so I couldn't say no." You laugh before Scotty comes up to you for a hug.

"So glad you're here sucker." Scotty says in his Australian accent. "We have exciting news to tell you." You were confused before your sister takes out a small Aston Martin jersey.

"We're having a baby!"

"Oh my god! Congratulations you guys." You say before giving them a big hug. "I'm so happy for you guys!"

Your moment of happiness with your sister and brother-in-law cut short as Lance and your father come in. "Y/N what are you doing here?" Your father asks.

"I invited her this weekend to tell her about the baby." Chloe says happily before adding. "It would also be great for her to support her man." You smile at your sister.

Your smile went away as your dad starts to talk. "You shouldn't be with Fernando."

"And why is that? I'm a grown lady." You answer back.

"We want what's best for you Y/N. Fernando is an old playboy driver who will just break your heart." Your father admits to you.

You were tired of your father and Lance treating you this way. You're a grown woman who can make her own choices. "I'm so tired of you two telling me what to do with my life. I sanctimoniously perform soliloquies to you two my whole life. I never noticed until Fernando showed me how you guys truly are."

Thinking it can change the beat Of my heart when he touches me And counteract the chemistry And undo the destiny

"We do that because we love you," Lance says.

"You think you 'love' me Lance," You scoff at Lance's words. "I never knew love until my heart beat changed for Fernando. The chemistry we have undid everything you guys put me through. It lead me to the destiny I have today."

You ain't gotta pray for me Me and my wild boy And all this wild joy If all you want is gray for me Then it's just white noise And it's just my choice

"I pray that you're not making a mistake." Your father adds before grabbing the door handle.

"You ain't gotta pray for me. Me and my wild boy are happy. I'm finally happy now that I have my wild joy." Your wild joy was finally being in F1.

"If all you want is gray for me. Then it's just going to be white noise for you." You laugh before adding. "I finally did the one thing you two caged me from. I'm finally an F1 driver."

Your father and Lance don't say anything and leave. It didn't matter what they think. You were happy with the choices you made.

"I'm happy that you stood up to them Y/N," Chloe says before giving you a hug. Scotty joins the hug as well.

"Thank you guys."

There's a lot of people in town that I Bestow upon my fakest smiles Scandal does funny things to pride But brings lovers closer

f1news SCANDAL DOES FUNNY THINGS TO PRIDE BUT BRINGS LOVERS CLOSER: We know Y/N for the fakest smiles while staying in the sidelines of her brother. But reportedly Y/N spoke out to her father and brother about the way she's been treated for years and how she's "never felt love until Fernando came into the picture."

user1 @/f1news the taylor swift lyric!!!

user2 they're literally brother's teammate x forbidden love troupe

user3 so glad the media to finally addressing the way the Stroll men have treated Y/N.

We came back when the heat died down Went to my parents and they came around All the wine moms are still holding out But it's over.

The next time you went to Aston Martin in Barcelona. Since you were racing in F1 Academy that weekend, you didn't see Fernando until late every night. Once you won first place in the race, you had rushed back to your hotel room to get ready for Fernando's race. You couldn't miss this race since it was his home race.

As you scan your paddock badge, you see that your brother was at the entrance. You try your best to not get his attention but you were too late. "Y/N!" You don't turn to look at him. You needed to get to Fernando and support him.

As you're speed walking to Fernando's garage, Lance stops you. "Y/N I've been yelling your name."

"Okay, and?" You say before you start walking again.

"Y/N I want to apologize for how me and dad have been treating you your whole life. I know it wasn't right. It should be you in my seat instead of me." You were shocked at what Lance was saying. "These past few months have been hell without you. I miss seeing you around the paddock supporting me and Fernando."

A smile creeps up to your face as Lance adds Fernando to his sentence. "You finally address my boyfriend."

He rolls his eyes. "Yes, I was mad that you left Aston Martin and instead of supporting you getting into F1 Academy I publicly slandered you for your relationship with Fernando. I'm sorry for being a asshole."

"You've been an asshole most of your life Lance." You both laugh at your comment. "But thank you for the apology. Does this mean you approve of Fernando?"

He gives you a big hug before you says, "Yes, I don't want to lose you again." You give him a big hug before he has to leave for the race.

[themultifanshipper]

hello it's me again! requesting for the 2nd time for a Sebastian Vettel fic (I'm horrendously down bad for this man🙇‍♀️) could you please do Rb!Seb x Button!reader because I'm a sucker for brother's best friend trope. Jenson invites Seb over after a night out of partying and he stays there for a couple of days. Seb has a couple of small interactions with reader mostly Jenson stepping in which it doesn't lead into something more lol. so here's the juicy part reader accidentally walks in on Seb taking a bath and like she's so embarrassed she decides to( lock herself in her room even Jenson was concerned. Seb decides to talk to reader alone in her room and it leads to them passionately making out so they have their little "we shouldn't be doing this" "your brother doesn't have to know" moment LOL and they uh do it ig.

this is awkward to even ask for I feel like squidward begging for change in that one ep 😭 like I feel so GUILTY LMAO but anyways please don't rush yourself into writing this please do it in your own pace I really don't mind waiting 🫶 I also would like to say how much I adore your writing and the effort you put into your work so I understand if it takes a while to write all of this down. Don't forget to take yourself as well while you're writing 🩷🩷 -🐇

You had seen Seb in a number of embarrassing situations and positions, him being your brother’s best friend ever since he joined F1, but this was definitely the first time you had seen him quite this naked.

Warnings: Uhhhhhh… I don’t know what came over me I’ll be honest, Seb is super dominant in this one guys, like… overstimulation, praise kink, degrading a bit? Slapping? I need to be waterboarded in holy water at this point, I fear… the dialogue is cringe enough to make me question my worth as a person (this was written at 3 am)also I think I overused the word princess but oh well

Jenson and Seb were partying for a few days to wind down during winter break after an intense season, and you partied with them. You were much younger than your brother, he was in his early 30s and you only 21, so you were technically closer to Seb’s age, which led to a friendship blossoming between the two of you. You’d been on numerous trips and holidays with the pair of them, and you’d been to a fair few races to cheer them on.

Of course with the proximity and the similar ages, Jenson was terrified that Seb would try something with you, and he threatened him several times over the course of their friendship. Him being so much older than you meant he was extremely protective, sometimes bordering on overbearing. And you noticed that as you got older, Jenson rarely left you and Seb alone in the same room for more than 5 minutes without checking in on whether you “needed a drink” or “have you seen my charger? I swear I left it near your stuff could you please look for me thanks” …

This particular weekend had been quite intense, the three of you going out several nights in a row, and you finally managed to get some alone time in the peace and quiet of your brother’s house while the boys went to pick up some pizza for dinner before you all went out again afterward.

Which is why you were so shocked when you opened the bathroom door to pee and got an eyeful of Seb in the bath, very naked, and with the way his hand flew out of the water (splashing half the room in the process) you were pretty sure he had just been caught touching himself. You had caught him. Touching himself.  In the bath.  Naked.  In the bath naked, touching himself.  In your bathroom.  You had caught him touching himself in your bathroom, in the bath.  Naked.

It took you a few seconds to absorb the situation before you shouted “Oh my god! I am so sorry!” and covered your eyes (about 30 seconds too late but it’s the thought that counts!) before backing out and shutting the door, ignoring Seb’s yells about it being his fault for not locking the door.

You hightailed it straight to your bedroom and slammed the door, locked it, and slid to the floor, with your head in your hands.

…

Seb’s dick.

…

That’s the only thought your mind could conjure up for the next several minutes. You didn’t even get a great look at it, being more entranced by the blush quickly spreading down Seb’s neck and toned chest at your intrusion, and it was distorted by the rippling water, but it was there. It existed. And now it refused to leave your mind for even a second.

That’s when you heard the tell-tale noise of the front door closing and Jenson coming back from his pizza run. He called out for you, but the lack of an answer made him come looking for you.

He knocked on your door and tried opening it but failed, immediately making him worry.

“You alright in there, love? I’ve got the pizzas” he spoke softly through the door.

You huffed, you really didn’t want to face Seb after that, so you played the illness card.

“I really don’t feel well Jense, I’m going to sit this one out!” you called out.

He frowned, you seemed fine 20 minutes ago when he left. “You sure? I got you your favourite!” “I’m sorry! You can have it, and you two go have fun tonight! I need to sleep last night off, and I’ll go out with you guys tomorrow!”

He wasn’t convinced but there was no point in arguing with you, so he eventually agreed and left you alone. He and Seb went out an hour later and you were left to your own devices, so you got into your pyjamas (which consisted of a large t-shirt and not much else), made yourself some food and slinked back to your room as thoughts of Seb kept plaguing your mind.

It’s not like you’d never realised Seb was attractive, of course you’d noticed, look at the man for god’s sake. But seeing him all flushed and naked and wet had awoken something in you. Something very dangerous, given the nature of your relationship.

Your thoughts soon drifted to rather lewd areas, as you pictured Seb in multiple situations. Running his hands up and down your naked body in the shower. Sinking to his knees at your feet as he devoured you. Fucking you into the mattress with a hand over your mouth to not alert your brother with your moans. Fucking you in his driver’s room next time you went to a race. Making you come over and over while whispering dirty things in your ear.

Your fantasies were interrupted by the sound of the front door again. You glanced at the clock, it read 3:26.  It seems time flies when you’re thirsting over your brother’s best friend, but it was still oddly early for them to be coming home.

You heard footsteps shuffling along the corridor and they stopped right in front of your door, the owner of the feet seemingly listening for any noise coming from your room.

“Jense?” you called out.

“No” Seb’s voice answered, “It’s me, can I come in?”

“Yeah” you sighed, you couldn’t avoid him forever.

He poked his head in, smiling softly at you before padding over to the bed as you sat on the edge next to him, consciously crossing your legs to avoid another incident, given your lack of underwear.

“Couldn’t sleep?” he asked.

“Not really, although I’ll admit I didn’t see the time pass at all… What about you guys? This is rather early for you two, isn’t it?”

He chuckled and looked deep into your eyes. “I’m here on my own, actually”.

For some reason that made a shiver go down your spine. “Jenson found a companion to go home with, and I didn’t feel like partying alone.”

“Aaah” you sighed comically “slagclaren strikes again”

He laughed softly. “Yeah…”

You looked at each other for a while before the tension became unbearable and you looked away, blushing.

“So about earlier-” he started but you stood up suddenly and interrupted him.

“Please Seb, I really don’t want to talk about it, it was super embarrassing, and I don’t want to make things uncomfortable for you, I’m so sorry”

He cocked his head to the side, frowning at you. “Why would I be uncomfortable? It was an accident, and I’m not exactly embarrassed by my body so… no harm done” he smiled sweetly when your gaze snapped to him.

You laughed in disbelief “Well I should hope you’re not embarrassed by your body! It’s so -”

The image of his wet, muscular body flashed through your mind, along with all the other images you’d conjured up since “uhhhmm…” your brain took a second to reboot.

He smirked “Go on, what is it?”

You blushed profusely and stuttered “Uh, well, it’s uhmm… It’s good”  and then you went and gave him a fucking thumbs up.

Jesus, you couldn’t be more lame if you tried.

He raised his eyebrows and smirked even wider “It’s good??”

 “You know what I mean!” you whined defensively, face becoming redder by the second “You’re a high-performance athlete! You’re all muscly and… and hot, you know? Like my brother!”

What. The. Fuck.

Your eyes widened in shock “I’m sorry I don’t know why I said that! I panicked! I don’t think my brother’s hot! I mean objectively he is, I guess! But I just-”

Seb was laughing, and he stood up to pull you into a hug.

“Hey, it’s okay I was just teasing you.” he whispered into your ear. “The look on your face when you opened the door and saw me in the bath told me everything I needed to know about what you think of my body…”

Your breath hitched. “Wh- what?”

“You couldn’t take your eyes off of me” he leaned back to look at you “And I think you know what I was doing when you came in…”

He spoke so softly you could barely hear him through the pounding of your heart, and he slowly leaned in and whispered, “Do you know what I was thinking about while I touched myself in your bathroom?”

You whimpered and closed your eyes, the smell of his cologne was overwhelming your senses, and you were on the brink of doing something incredibly stupid. You shook your head. “No, I don’t…”

He chuckled “No?” his hands slid down to wrap around your waist “Let me show you then”

The feeling of his lips on yours didn’t exactly come as a shock, but it was electrifying, and you deepened the kiss immediately, despite the alarm bells ringing in your mind. Your hands went up to grip his hair and he groaned, his hips bucking into yours as he slotted a thigh between your legs for you to grind on.

His hands slid further down and gripped your ass and you gasped, throwing your head back, and he took the opportunity to start kissing down your neck.

"We shouldn't be doing this" you panted, but it sounded weak and shaky even to you.

"Your brother doesn't have to know" he responded, lowering himself down to the ground. He patted the bed and winked at you. “Sit on the edge for me, princess”

You hesitated, and he suddenly looked worried. “I don’t want to force you into anything. If you want, we can just forget everything and go back to being friends”

The thought of that made your heart sink into your stomach.

“It’s just… my brother’s going to kill us if he finds out” you chewed on your bottom lip.

“I won’t tell him if you don’t” he flashed his signature grin, and when yougave him a shy smile in return, he tapped the bed again.

“Now are you going to sit down like a good girl or do I have to make you sit?”

You were almost a blur with how fast you moved.

Once you were settled, Seb spread your legs and glanced down, finally noticing that you were bare before him. He gasped and lightly bit your knee to stop himself from jumping on you immediately.

“Baby, you’re going to be the death of me” he said, nosing up your thigh and you giggled at his reaction, and the feel of his stubble on your sensitive skin.

“Naughty girl, not wearing any panties with your brother’s best friend in your room. One could think you had an ulterior motive…”

He hiked up your legs over his shoulders and pulled your hips almost over the edge, forcing you to lay down and cling to the bed as he licked a stripe up your already wet pussy. He savoured the taste for a second, muttering a curse in German, before diving in completely, lips and tongue working in tandem to drive you crazy.

When his fingers joined the party, it took you no time at all to fall over the precipice, lips chanting his name as your fingers gripped the sheets for dear life.

But he didn’t stop there, he was like a man starved and you writhed in pleasure as he just kept going and you got close to edge again in record time.

“Are you going to be a good girl for me and give me another one?” He mumbled into your pussy as his fingers continued their assault. But you were so close you couldn’t speak, which displeased him greatly, so he pulled away, your orgasm slowly fading as you whined.

“Words, princess, I need words”

But you were incapable of words, so he slapped you. Right on your abused cunt as you cried out. The shock of it turned you on so much you couldn’t think straight.

He waited, but your lack of response warranted another slap, this time slightly higher up on your clit and you squeaked.

“I’ll ask again. Are you going to be a good girl for me and come on my fingers when I say so?”

He’d barely finished his sentence before you wailed “Yes Seb! Anything for you, fuck- please!”

He chuckled “So desperate for it” he slid three fingers in easily and started a brutal pace “Fuck, you’re so much wetter, you like me abusing your pretty pussy, hmm? Making it all puffy and red when you disobey me?”

“Yes Seb, fuck I’m so close!”

“Good girl, go on then, come for me princess”

And you did, so hard that you almost blacked out.

You’d barely recovered before you found yourself being dragged up the bed, legs hooked around his waist, his arms wrapped around you tight as he pounded into you desperately, panting and groaning into your neck.

“You feel so good, so tight around me, fuck- I’ve wanted to do this for so long, schatz…”

You gasped and he deepened his thrusts, hitting all the perfect spots inside you.

“I never want to leave this pussy, so fucking good for me, taking me so well, princess” he reached up, grabbed a pillow and placed it under your hips to raise them up a bit. Then he grabbed your waist for leverage to deepen the angle of his thrusts even more, making you see stars.

“I’m so close, Seb… fuck, can I come please?” you gasped, and his hand moved to rub tight circles around your puffy, sensitive clit.

“Come for me baby, such a good girl, all over my cock, that’s it…” he cooed as your body arched off the bed and your nails dug into his shoulders as you came around him.

Your pussy was like a vice around his cock and his hips stuttered, he was so close.

He came after only a few more thrusts, groaning out broken sentences as his hips slammed into yours, eyes locked on to where his cock disappeared inside you.

“Going to fucking fill you up, princess… Deep inside this cunt… all mine… Squeezing so perfect around me… fucking take it, take it all, … fuck- ”

He collapsed on top of you, breathing hard as he came down from his high, face buried in your neck.

The next few minutes should have been awkward. You had just fucked your brother’s best friend. He had just come inside his best friend’s little sister.  But, weirdly, it all felt stupidly natural.

“You want to take a shower with me?” You asked, standing up on shaky legs as you felt his come drip down your inner thighs “Or would you prefer a bath?” You smirked at him and waddled into the bathroom.

“Shower please, I don’t like baths.” he replied.

You hummed as it took you a few seconds for your brain to catch up with that statement.

But then it hit you like a bucket of freezing water.

“ You. What?!!”

An unexpected Surprise

Ship: Superstitious Sweethearts (Clyde x Kaden)

Words: 2,164 ( sorry… :c under readmore this time cause long)

cw: gross falling in love? lmao

Summary: jimmy you sneaky man!

Okay 2 rb || If you don't self ship please dni. I have mad anxiety lol

Pt 1 ||

Kaden had been looking forward to returning to Duck Tape Bar all week, they told themselves it was just because of the atmosphere but really deep down it was because of the very friendly, very handsome bartender who worked there. Pushing the door open, Kaden felt their heart quicken in anticipation and the familiar smell of aged wood and beer greeted their nostrils as they walked in. Clyde was behind the bar, as expected, when he lifted his head and made eye contact with Kaden, they felt a small rush of excitement run through them

"Well, well, look who's back." Clyde smiled, setting down a glass he had been cleaning. "Nice to see ya again, Kaden." he had to try and calm himself, he felt a fluttering in his heart from simply just speaking with them.

"Good to see you, Clyde," Kaden smiled warmly, sliding onto the same stool that they sat on before. "I've been thinking about this place all week~"

"That so?" That comment made Clyde’s chest swell with warmth. They’d been thinking about the bar—or maybe about him? He poured Kaden their usual drink without even asking, assuming they'd want the same, thankfully he was right. "So what brings ya back tonight?"

"Just needed a break again," Kaden hummed softly as they leaned their arms against the top of the bar. "hm, maybe I was also hoping for some more of that good conversation as well.." Kaden said, damn they felt shy all of a sudden.

Clyde felt a grin tugging at his lips. "I think we can manage that. How’s work been?"

"Work is….work…I mean I love what I do but I can feel a little bored with it at times.." Kaden blew out a sigh. "Anyways, I don't want to bore you with work stuff~ what about you? What do you do when you're not tending the bar?"

Clyde rubbed the back of his neck, feeling a little self-conscious about what he was about to say. "Well, I like to help my brother with his cars, ya know fixin' 'em and stuff. Keeps me busy, but I like it. Fixin' thing, you know?"

Kaden smiled and nodded. "Oh, that's interesting ~" Kaden paused, glancing at Clyde's left arm. "Please, don't take this the wrong way but… is it…difficult to do, with the prosthetic and all?"

Clyde appreciated the polite curiosity in Kaden's voice, rather than pity or the generic 'how can you possibly do repairs with one arm' question that's usually asked by people who are curious about him. "It can be," He admitted, glancing down at his prosthetic forearm. "but I've gotten used to it. Learned to adapt. My brother and I got a system that works pretty well."

Kaden nodded, admiration clear in their eyes. "That's impressive, I'm sure it took a lot of determination in the beginning."

Clyde felt his cheeks warm at the compliment and he smiled sheepishly. "Thanks and yeah, it did. hm well, what about you? what do ya do for fun?"

"Fun?" Kaden thought for a moment before shaking their head. "I guess I'm still trying to figure that out… I do dabble in a little bit of everything- lately, I've really been wanting to hike, it was one of my favourite pastimes back home. I love to walk, I know it doesn't sound like a lot of fun but to me it is~"

Clyde listened intently, a small smile gracing his lips. "Well, just so happens, I know of a few local trails…Maybe I could show ya around 'em sometime?"

Kaden’s heart skipped a beat. "Really? That would be wonderful," they said softly, their eyes meeting Clyde’s. "Maybe we could—" Kaden hesitated, they felt their heart pick up speed, and Clyde felt his own nerves flare up. "Maybe…. we could grab a coffee or something beforehand?"

Clyde smiled but on the inside, he felt so nervous suddenly. "Yeah, that sounds real nice."

Kaden and Clyde continued talking, the conversations seemed to flow so easily between the two despite the racing hearts, stolen glances and nerves. Their mutual interest in each other was pretty clear but it seemed like both of them couldn't find the courage to bridge the gap and possibly ask one another out on a proper 'date'

A few hours had passed and Kaden felt the familiar heaviness of leaving. "I should probably get going.." they said reluctantly before finishing off their drink. They went to pay him and Clyde shook his head.

"On me this time." he offered them a soft smile despite the tinged of disappointment he felt that Kaden was leaving. "Take care, Kaden. See ya around?"

"Definitely" Kaden grinned. "Thanks for the drink and nice chat~" Kaden hummed as the headed out.

Kaden left the bar, breathing in the evening air. They walked down the stairs in their own little blissfully unaware thoughts when they nearly smashed right into someone. "Oh! S-Sorry!" Kaden looked up to see Jimmy.

"Not a problem," Jimmy said with a friendly smile. "Names, Jimmy. Never seen someone like you up this way before. You new 'round here?"

"Yeah actually, I'm Kaden. Moved here a couple months of ago.. kind of just now spreading my wings as it were."

"Ah, well nice to meet ya." Jimmy smiled. "Think I seen you in here once before. What do ya think?"

"Seems nice… I like it.." Kaden smiled sweetly, thinking about the friendly bartender inside. "The company is really nice in there…"

"That it is. Hey, nights still young. Want to take a daring move and let a local show you around some places? Don't worry, I ain't no serial killer or anything."

"Hm, sounds like something a serial killer would say.." Kaden grinned. "But, I have nothing else going on so sure, why not!"

Jimmy and Kaden ended up wandering around the small town, talking, laughing, and sharing interests. Jimmy picked up on the fact that Kaden seemed to really enjoy talking about the bar. It felt like mere moments that they were walking but as soon as they realized their surroundings it was almost pitch black out except for the street lights on the road.

"Huh, seems we walked quite a ways- you walked me home." Jimmy laughed, thumbing towards the dirt road that led up to his place which earned a small laugh from Kaden. "Want to come in?"

Kaden hesitated. "Uhm, you're a real sweet guy and all--"

Jimmy laughed and shook his head. "Nah, ain't nothin' like that, I can call ya a cab or something so you don't go walkin' home in the dark alone."

"Ah, gotcha! Well okay then~"

Kaden and Jimmy walked up the dirt road to his place, it was pretty secluded and he was up far enough that there was hardly any type of light pollution. Kaden looked up into the sky and marveled at how many stars they could see.

Once inside Kaden stepped into the place a little, watching as Jimmy shuffled around the room looking for his cordless phone. Kaden raised a brow "Don't own a cellphone?"

"I do but I ain't paid the bill…Don't really like 'em anyways."

Kaden patted their pocket and then was struck by an almost panic, they seemed to have forgotten their own phone! Before Kaden could make a comment the door opened, nearly hitting Kaden and they quickly jumped back from it only to have Clyde practically get into their personal bubble. Kaden nearly stumbled back.

"Kaden!?" Clyde said in surprise, his eyes wide, he instantly felt his heart pick up speed.

"C-Clyde!?" Kaden blinked, their cheeks flushing from how close he was. "W-What…H-How…"

Jimmy, grinning at the sight before him walked over and patted Clyde on the back. "You two know each other?" He grinned knowingly, feigning surprise and Clyde rolled his eyes. Of course, Jimmy would pull a stunt like this. "Clyde here is my brother and lives with me"

Clyde and Kaden exchanged a look, both of them feeling a mixture of surprise and happiness run through them as their eyes met.

"Well.. sure is a pleasant surprise." Clyde cleared his throat.

"Well, I'll keep lookin' for that phone, maybe I left it in the garage. Stay and chat for a bit, I'll be back." Jimmy nodded, grabbing the door and swinging it open to leave. Clyde happened to notice the phone that Jimmy was 'looking for'….. he seemed to have misplaced it in his back pocket… Sly.

Clyde offered Kaden to sit down and they took a seat on the couch, Clyde following after them. Kaden was feeling a little awkward and didn't really know what to say. It was a completely different atmosphere now that the chatter of customers was gone and there was no longer a bar separating the two.

"So how'd you know my brother?" Clyde asked gently.

"We met outside the bar," Kaden replied. Damn it all Kaden was never good with small talk.

"So you always run off with people you don't know in the night?" Clyde teased and Kaden let out a small chuckle.

"No not really..he offered to show me around town a little that's all."

"Jimmy is good people." Clyde nodded.

"So… I was thinking.." Kaden started, they could feel the rising blush on their face. "Maybe if you're not busy…maybe tomorrow we could go get that coffee?" Kaden suggested, their voice tentative but hopeful.

"I got nowhere I need to be. Tomorrow sounds good."

Kaden's heart skipped a beat and they smiled sweetly. "Okay- Maybe you can give me the number for here and I'll call you tomorrow~?"

"Sure thing," Clyde smiled reaching for a pen and paper. He scribbled down the number and handed it to Kaden and Kaden folded it and slipped it into the pocket of their jeans.

At that moment Jimmy returned, setting the phone on the coffee table in front of Kaden and Clyde. "Ya'll good in here?"

"Yeah, we're good," Clyde said, glancing at Kaden and smiling to which Kaden returned said smile.

Jimmy grinned. "Good, glad to see ya both gettin' along~ I went ahead and called that cab for ya, should be here soon."

Kaden nodded a soft smile coming to their face as they stood. "Thank you Jimmy for the walk and the cab call."

"Not a problem, anytime." Jimmy smiled.

As the cab pulled up Clyde walked Kaden to the door. "…Glad I got to see you twice in one night." He said, a small tint of pink dusting his cheeks.

"Me too~" Kaden smiled sweetly, their heart felt like it wanted to leap out of their chest when he said that. "I'll see you tomorrow~?"

"Definitely," Clyde said, watching as Kaden got into the cab as it drove off, a small smile tugging his lips.

Clyde stood at the door for a moment longer, watching until the cab disappeared around the corner. He closed the door with a contented sigh and turned back into the living room only to find Jimmy nearly grinning ear to ear.

"Well, well, well," Jimmy drawled, crossing his arms over his chest. "Look who's got a little spring in his step."

Clyde rolled his eyes but this time he couldn't suppress a smile. "Oh shut up Jimmy."

Jimmy laughed, pushing off the wall he was leaning against as he walked over to his brother. "Oh come on now. Don't be all shy. I saw the way you were lookin' at Kaden."

Clyde felt his cheeks grow warmer. "It ain't like that…"

"Suure it ain't," Jimmy said, gently clapping Clyde on the back. "You were starin' at 'em the whole time they were here and don't think I didn't notice that goofy lil smile on your face."

Clyde shook his head, he was trying to be annoyed by his brother but what his brother said was all true. "They're just…nice to talk to, alright? It's been a while since I've met someone like 'em."

Jimmy's grin softened into a smile. "I get it, Clyde. It's good to see you interested in someone. Kaden seems like a good person."

"They are.." Clyde said, nodding his head. "They really are actually.."

Jimmy gave Clyde a playful little nudge "So, when are you gonna ask 'em out properly hm?"

Clyde's eyes widened and he stammered. "Dammit Jimmy I -I don't know… I mean, we're gettin' coffee tomorrow but…"

"But what?" Jimmy prompted, his brow raising in curiosity. "You gotta make a move dear brother, don't let a good thing slip. It's obvious you both like each other you can't let your shyness get in the way."

Clyde let out a sigh as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I know. It's just… It's been a while since I did this, ya know?"

"Yeah I get it, but sometimes, you gotta take a risk." With that Jimmy patted Clyde on the shoulder before disappearing into his bedroom.

Clyde nodded to himself, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. As he headed to his room he couldn't help but think about Kaden. He knew Jimmy was right-- Sometimes you just had to take a chance… With Kaden, he felt like it was a chance worth taking.

Can I just say I love how you can be somewhat critical about certain things about totk without completely and unnecessarily trashing it and even adding humor. I wish more people were like that.

Aw, thank you! I'm just trying to make sure folks feel safe to enjoy things here (as long as, yknow, the respect goes both ways).

I definitely used to be someone who would trash stuff unnecessarily, and I'll always credit a mutual (although I did forget their handle,,,I'm so sorry) I had at the time for just letting me go on a long rant about why something bothered me and went, "That sounds really personal, but that got nothing to do with this." And all at once I realized I'd been projecting my needs/wants/expectations onto other peoples work (commercial or otherwise), and holding strangers responsible for serving me, specifically! Which is an absurd thing to expect from anyone!!

And sometimes I still forget the world doesn't revolve around me, glorious me, and I have to go back and apologize and do my mental health homework to figure out why I reacted a certain way, and why I took something so personally. But it's been really helpful to try and do the homework first, or type that whole salty take up and delete it or draft and review it again in the morning, before you make a stranger (or a friend!) feel bad or unsafe with you for the crime of enjoying something you didn't (which I have done, many times, and feel very bad about).

Plus, I've learned that if you're someone who is always analyzing and critiquing things, those moments can be really good practice for (respectfully! privately! in your own space! not on that stranger's post! not in that poor dev's DMs!) considering what you might have done differently, assuming you had the same parameters and resources available. I find this is especially good practice if you plan on entering a creative field! I promise you get a lot more sympathetic with how things turn out when you force yourself to dream within a budget and a deadline.

(also being nice to professionals is good practice! Some of them are jerks, true, but 99% of devs artists designers directors etc are just doing their best under a ton of stress and pressure to make everyone happy, and they're usually really proud of what they're able to accomplish, and they are absolutely not getting paid enough to deal with the comment section)

Once you let go of that need to be Correct and have control over stuff that isn't about you, you end up having a lot more fun and a lot less limitations for playing in the sandbox, and with other creatives! Plus you learn about yourself, and what your priorities and tastes are. You become a better story teller and collaborator when you can not only find but actively look for the good in things you may have completely dismissed as a kneejerk reaction to not liking something about it.

And again, I'm definitely still an ass, a lot more often than I'd like to be. I still struggle with that need to be Correct and to have complete control over my sandbox. I still get defensive and have to navigate rejection sensitivity when someone's idea contradicts mine. I definitely understand the reactivity when something means a lot to us, and it takes practice to share when you're used to being protective! But it's so, so worth it.

You meet such amazing people and find such wonderful, supportive communities when you embrace two cake theory. I highly recommend making an effort to expand your perspective and be a part of that support.

Supportive Community Pro-Tips from a Fandom Old Guy:

You don't have to adopt a theory to enjoy or appreciate it!

If someone's takes upset you, just block them. It's okay.

Don't critique someone's work unless they ask for critique

Don't RB someone's work with negative/contradictory comments, just make your own post

DO freak out in the tags/comments/inbox if you like something

Obviously don't wish harm over ships/headcanons/etc, just block!

Remember someone else's work is not about you

Remember someone else's work is Not About You

Are they experiencing a thing? Are they sharing their experience with you? That's a gift! Treat it like one!

Elitism is a mind killer. Newer ≠ Lesser, Older ≠ Greater. We all have stuff to offer and we all have stuff to learn.

and if I may impart the most important thing I've ever learned in fandom:

BE NICE TO EACH OTHER, WE'RE ALL JUST MAKING STUFF UP!

Thank you for the lovely message and for letting me ramble I'm!! Sorry this got so long and preachy, haha

[desultory-novice]

Been awhile since I had seen your stuff, and I really enjoy what you’ve been coming up with! Glad to see you’re having fun

(Also, how did you start here, so to speak? I would love to be an active creator in the kirblr community, but since I just lurk and rb because I don’t have the energy/confidence to create, I just feel like an unwelcome stalker LOL. Sorry if this is too much!)

Oh, gosh, thank you so much! I'm a little impressed at how things have turned out after barely two years(?) here myself!

I don't know if my methods could ever work for anyone else as they do me, as I attribute a lot of "this" to serendipity but...

...It seems to me I really took off after opening my inbox up to doing detailed ask memes about the characters. Again, this was kind of luck on my part because I spoke very lovingly (albeit truthfully!) about a few mega popular characters, which caused two of their fandom BNFs to kindly reblog my posts, and that sent a bunch more asks for the WHOLE rest of the Kirby cast my way!

I'm sorry to say, it does take a lot of energy though. But I do get the struggle, as I'm often exhausted by life/lots of jobs. However, if you can find any sort of mental "trick" to keep yourself going, you might discover you have more energy than you think inside you!

(Me, I'm very visual, and I keep a collection of my favorite fanart on hand. If I think I've exhausted myself on a character/ran out of ideas of things to talk about, I'll browse through my personal "gallery" and it will help me to remember characters/events/interesting points.)

As to the matter of confidence, you've probably heard the whole "fake it to you make it" bit and to a degree, at least, it's true. I've had a couple of posts where I've flooded the tags with things like "OMG this is so bad and I'm so sorry!" or "I had no time to work on this and it shows~" or "if this sucks it's because life is crushing my soul and I just want to sleep for a thousand years..." annnnnd unfortunately...

...even if it's how you're feeling At The Time, those things can make people feel like they're intruding into your space by liking or reblogging it. It's like, if you're telling us something so personal and private, maybe you really only want to hear from a friend right now, and not a stranger...? What I've done is I've told myself it's okay to write out those low self-esteem thoughts elsewhere but try to let the people who are here for the art/images/videos/writing/discussions just enjoy your art/images/videos/writing/discussions.

If you've got something to get off your chest, don't feel like you have to hold it inside, but don't hold your audience captive either.

(Also, something else fun about this: if you cast out positivity, you may find that it comes back to you, and when you look again at that thing you shared, it was NOT as "awful" as you thought.)

Now, a lot of that was about "external" confidence or what you display. As for internal confidence, that's... kind of a constant struggle. We all -- and by all, I I mean even famous published creators -- have times when we think our work isn't good enough. Annnd...

...Well, it isn't always great. But the fact that something isn't great now (even if it's the absolute best we can do at the time) doesn't mean we have no skill at something! We all have to start somewhere. And sometimes "somewhere" is a piece of art or writing or theory or humorous content that only 1-2 people think is "...Eh, not bad."

My first "hit it big" piece? My "Moon's Haunted" Kirby meme? Ohhh man, I can't STAND to look at now! I redrew it a few months back and if I were to redraw it today, it'd look better still, probably. The key is that I tried (...and that I meme-posted when the game was going viral >.> ) and I think that shone through??

(...It might be silly, but there IS a Nintendo Direct tomorrow. Probably no Kirby news, as I assume Vanpool's closure will bring an end to us getting multiple Kirby titles a year, but if you really want to try and take that ^ path, you can always get up early/stay up late and ready yourself to post commentary on any news!)

That doesn't just go for art, but writing/theories/HC as well. I myself find it a little sad when someone starts on a post and then will just trail off with "...lol I dunno, didn't think about it that hard."

"Don't say that, person on the internet," I cry! Do you realize how much information is at your fingertips right now? You can google for things even if you only know it as "that thing in that one movie about the fruit." You can watch a Youtube video in 5 minutes explaining the mechanics of something you've never seen or ever hope to do before! You can even watch a Youtube playthrough of a Kirby thing you forgot instead of saying "You forgot!" Don't know how to draw cloaks? Pinterest has millions of references! Don't like Pinterest? Just google "cloaks, Pinterest" and click on the images tab and you will never have to log into that accursed site! It just takes WANTING to.

Though sometimes, I think people write that out of embarrassment? Maybe they DID think about it but they don't think anyone would be interested? Or maybe they really didn't think about X or Y but didn't want to feel like they were neglecting anybody and that something is better than nothing. Which it is, but LOVE is even more important!

...And love, especially in a fandom space, can be ~complicated~

Like I mentioned above, I'm LUCKY that my top favorite characters also come close to topping the rest of "the fandom's" list. But as I've said before, I love every character in Kirby. Even the ones-people-want-to-throw-off-a-bridge-into-a-waste-treatment-plant..

And if I'd started off my tumblr as a "The Susie Haltmann Appreciation Blog!" as opposed to my actual "Hey I'm Completely Obsessed About Marx and Magolor and I Think About Them All The Time (...but I also like the Haltmanns from a story perspective for their heartrending tragedy that hits close to home for me...) Blog" I don't know if we'd be having this conversation right now. ^^;

(It doesn't just have to be all about controversy/"discourse" related stuff either. I could have started a "Daily Sillydillo" blog and had to retire it in a month due to low levels of interaction. The concept of fandom favorites might not be very egalitarian, when every character deserves to have their story enjoyed, but sometimes, strong love can make up for the lack of eyes on a thing. Occasionally ^^)

...Anyway, you might not have the energy, at least not all the time, and confidence might be a little low right now too, but you love Kirby, right? You have passion for it? Passion can get you a lot! And also, there's a few methods of interaction that, for personal reasons, I could not choose that have done wonders for everyone else!

For example, I have some old, unhealed trauma about OCs, but there's a whole hu~ge section of Kirblr that loves OCs and, as far as I've seen (??) tries to be really supportive about them?

Lastly, I can guarantee you, you are NOT a stalker and anyone who thinks being a "quiet supportive fan" equates to being a stalker should consider moving away from thinking of themselves and/or others in that negative way. You have stalked nobody! You have only shown an active interest in others! That is a POSITIVE thing!

And on that note, you're definitely not unwelcome either! Especially if you're one of the precious, wonderful people out there who reblog lots! If you want to get your toes wet, why not test the waters and build your confidence in this space by adding some of your thoughts onto your reblogs? You could build a rep/connections that way!

TLDR, sometimes gaining an audience/a space is a magic trick that no one knows the secret to. Other times, it is the result of months and months and months of hard, lonesome persistence.

The best advice I can give you is advice I would give myself:

-Be kind if you can, if you cannot, then be understanding -Demonstrate care about your interests and those of others -Forgive yourself for being at the beginning of your journey

-Enthusiasm, sincerity, and love are warm lights in this world of ours that can, at times, seem so dim and dreary. Light a little lantern for yourself and remember to laugh loud with joy that life is also so amazingly, ridiculously magical and before you know it, others will find their way to your light to add their lantern to yours!

please do tell about theme parks I want to learn more but trying to find info on them seems to get me either clickbait nonsense or creepypasta nonsense

hi !! :D sorry this took so long to respond I was a lil busy when I first saw this, also I'm one of those people who eagerly wait for an opportunity to talk abt their fave interests then when asked/presented with an opportunity my mind just goes completely blank and its like I have to relearn everything lmao

also this ended up being VERY long so sorry if u just wanted a tiny bit of info lol

but anyway! if ur interested in rollercoaster/theme park stuff that isn't clickbait I recommend looking at the coasterforce channel on youtube they've got tons of really high quality and quantity of rollercoaster videos! it's all like onride/offride pov type videos though which are perfect for if u can't afford to actually go and ride tons of coasters, u get to look at the rides from a first person pov and whilst the experience is very different it's still fun

as for ones that actually talk about rollercoasters I don't watch those as much lately but "Theme Park Crazy" has always been one I've liked to watch from time to time :D their content can sometimes come off as a bit clickbait-looking on occasion but there is genuine knowledge and information in the actual videos! its mostly top tens and stuff

as for my favourite coasters/rides/parks I've actually been to unfortunately I haven't been to many (and a lot of them are like, local ones that I don't want to say in case I give away my location) but probably the most intense one I've been on that I really enjoyed was the "Furius Baco" in PortAventura Spain, its the third fastest in europe (135 km/h) and its super fast it really scared me when I went on it lol, the videos of the ride do not do it justice its way faster in person. This was actually the coaster that basically started my interest in rollercoasters !! I remember when I went on it the second I arrived back at my apartment I just started binge watching rollercoaster videos like all night long

also the number one fastest in europe as well a the tallest is actually very close to that one ! it's in a seperate park thats like right next to it because its part of the PortAventura resort, I didn't go on it because you had to pay more money to get into that park but I remember seeing it in the carpark and its VERY tall, it's called the Red Force and its 112 metres high and has a top speed of 180 km/h !! the number one tallest in the world is one thats really similar to that just even taller is the Kingda Ka in Six Flags Great Adventure, I've always wanted to go on it (even though it would scare the actual hell out of me) its 139 metres tall. in 2009 it got struck by lightning and had to close for a few months. It actually used to be the fastest too for a few years until the Formula Rossa opened,

The Kingda ka remained the tallest, but it's the fastest in the world and has been for over a decade, its in the United Arab Emirates at Ferrariworld Ahu Dhabi, it's also like the 6th in the world in length, its not too tall but it's so fast that you literally are required to wear goggles on the ride (this is also because of the frequent sandstorms in the area)

also if ur ever planning to go to a theme park, whilst it's kind of hard to recommend them because idk what area ur in ofc but if you're a thrillseeker/wanting to ride intense high adrenaline rides then Six Flags (27 parks cacross America, Canada and Mexico) usually has a lot of thrill rides, if you prefer the more chill and scenic rides that focus a lot on the theming of the ride then Disneyland (12 parks in various countries, I've been to the Paris one when I was super young) it has a lot of awesome ones that have rlly great looking scenery (as well as some thrill rides! I'd love to go on the tower of terror one day)

thats kinda it, I've probably forgotten a lot of my favourite bits of knowledge and fun facts so I might edit/rb this with more stuff or not this was already a lot longer than I expected it being lol

also I'm a bit tired so there might be some slightly inaccurate info at parts if so im srry

[metfell]

i'm nervous to join in this conversation publicly because im a smaller blog (barely over 100 followers) but the rb/like ratio is devastating to me bc a joking sketch will get all the attention over a piece that i spent days on. i get sad when i know that a piece only has as many rbs as it does because i'm a fouth to a half of the rbs. i barely manage to reach 30 notes alot of the time and then if i do its like 20 likes and 10 rbs!

sorry for this rant on anon. i just wanted to try and add in my experience somehow

i get you i really do. when i had like 100ish followers 90% of my notes would be me reblogging it myself trying to get it attention. and if youve been around for a bit youll know i still do that like crazy.

im so genuinely sorry that your work isnt getting much attention. and its hard to say to not look at the numbers when thats why we post art to tumblr in the first place. to share it. if i don't want to show off a piece to the public, i just won't post it. doesn't mean im not making things outside of what i post. like, we post it because we want it to get recognition, and im sorry that your work isnt getting that recognition.

my only advice is to keep reblogging it onto your dashboard. that's all we can do to get attention onto stuff. you're doing all that you can, and i hope your work gets more notes soon.

Is everything really alright between RB and Rex now?

Rex was staring down at Rem, snuggled up to a bean bag and fast asleep. He had always been a lightweight... Hopefully he could sleep it off just fine. Sleep it all off and have everything be better in the morning...

Rocket glances up at him from where he had placed another couch cushion, frowning at the sight of his boyfriend's melancholy expression. ... What's the matter Rex?

"... A... Am I a bad person...?" he asks out of the blue, voice small.

Before Rocket can answer, RB looks up at Rex with a sad and shocked expression, and he instantly moves to give Rex a tight hug. You're a wonderful person Rex!! He exclaims defiantly.

Rex holds on tightly to RB, squeezing his eyes shut. "But... But I hurt you so bad...!!"

Rocket's eyes widen with understanding at Rex's tearful proclamation. So that was what this was about... Rex did tend to get overly emotional when he drank. He'd almost forgotten.

... He'd leave it to RB, as the one Rex has the conflict with, but if his less-than-lucid buddy needed him to step in he would. For now, he thinks as he looks back down, he'd focus on setting up the 'beds.'

RB shushes him gently, and nuzzles into his hair, squeezing him tighter in a reassuring way. Nah, ya didn... And besides, I hurt you too! But, ya don think I'm a bad person, do ya?? He asks, turning to look at Rex seriously.

Rex sniffles and shakes his head, unable to look RB in the eye. "Nnn... No... But... You didn't start it, I-I did, and... And I made it worse and... I... I made you do it...!" Rex's entire body tenses with the effort of holding back tears. "And now... you're leaving, and... and I never had the chance to mmmake it up to you...!!"

Yooou did though! We apol- apoloa... Said sorry! We made up! And we, we had some fun tonight yeah? You showed me a good time, let me have a home here, you've been wonderful! RB says, shaking his head as he starts rocking with Rex in his arms in a reassuring way.

Rex buries his face in RB's shoulder, fingers digging into his vest. "An 'I'm sorry' isn't enough... I... I really care about you! And I... I did such a bad thing, hhhurting you... where it hurts most....!! I o-owe you more than 'sorry'...!"

Not even Rocket can ignore the painful twinge in his heart at Rex's words. And Rocket can't deny he was at least partly right. RB and Rex hadn't spent much time together since the fight and before this going-away party. There has been a lot of uncertainty between them, only just now shaken free by alcohol.

RB shakes his head, eyes closed tight, nuzzling into Rex in an effort to try and calm him down. He didn't want him to be sad! This was supposed to be happy!

Rex! I forgive you! I already did but, I'm doing it again! Cuz yur my friend... And this goodbye isn't forever. I'm comin back, and we're gonna have even more good times, like we had to night, cuz... Yur my super special best friend!

Rex gives a laugh that might have been a sob, squeezing RB tightly.

... Really...? After all Rex had done, RB really wanted to call him that...??

"... You're my best friend too RB... The best, most special friend I ever... ever had." Rex relaxes slightly, his hold not as desperately tight anymore. "... I wanna be your friend... So don't you forget to come back..."

I could never forget! I won't forget... You're my best friend! I'll be back! I'll be back before you know it, I swear. He says sweetly, as he closes his eyes, humming affectionately at him.

Rex sighs, relaxing completely. "... Good. I got... a lot of making up to do. We got a lot of stuff to do together."

And you two can have fun dreaming about it. Rocket waves to get their attention, grinning as he gestures to the 'beds' on the floor, comprised of couch cushions and bean bags. Go on, get comfy!

Okay! RB says happily, standing up with Rex still in his arms, staggering over to the makeshift bed, and turning so he lands on his back, and giggling as Rex lands on to of him, their arms still tightly wrapped around each other in a hug.

Rex's flustered yell is cut off by a grunt as he falls onto RB, turning deep red and trying to push himself off. Even when drunk, it seemed like he still had his pride! "RB! H-heyy! What's the... big idea??"

Rocket can't help but laugh this time. Not 'what the fuck,' but 'what's the big idea', yeah, because that was Rex!!

Wot? I didn't want to let go! Yur warm, and yur sleepy, so you needed to get in bed quick! And I wanted you to really, really know that I do actually like you, cuz yur amazing Rex! he praises enthusiastically, grinning excitedly.

Rex stares at him for a moment. And then a look of horrified embarrassment crosses his face, and he faceplants into RB's chest. "B... Be quiet!!"

Rocket chuckles to himself, sitting down in one of the chairs at the card table. Go easy on him RB, you know he flusters easily.~

RB giggles excitedly, nuzzling into Rex's hair, finding the man's flustered embarrassment extremely entertaining. Oh don't worry, I will do!~

Rocket winks at RB, all too familiar with the feeling. A flustered Rex not only was cute, but was also very good for cuddling.~

He was sure they'd all sleep just fine.

And, once the raptors had quietly and carefully tucked them all in with blankets from the rec rooms-- one for Rem, one for the cuddling pair, and one for Rocket sprawled out on the table-- they certainly did.

don't rb

try to join a conversation "hey I'm talking to your brother"

oh sorry, must be my bad, I apologize for inturupting despite the fact you took a huge pause in the convo and I thought I could join in

I try to join in again. same thing

later when you're talking to nobody i try and maybe tell you something. you pause the TV and sigh annoyed and give me that awful fucking look

sorry, my bad.

I dont know why I still try. at least I've got the internet to share my adventures with stuff like crochet huh. because I cant even attempt to share it with my family. even if they let me speak without being pissed off, I know anything I do isn't as interesting as my brother

I love knowing I'm the least favorite sibling

I always say ill be giving up but I keep trying. they don't care. and its hard to convince myself anyone cares what I do

god. I hate life. I'm privileged, I have an amazing life and family and I shouldn't be fucking upset over this. but I am. I hate it

[redphienix]

Oh my god no like hate towards you man but what if they didn’t even care about the pedo claims what if they just didn’t like the fans or the game and just didn’t want fans following them?? Like wouldn’t you be a little miffed abt someone disregarding your feelings and ignoring your own comfort for the sake of following ppl. And a lot of people go through their follower lists to make sure bad ppl don’t follow them it isn’t a stalker thing it’s a normal thing you didn’t have to go through all those rants to just like..not follow ppl who don’t want you following them ? Sorry you got upset abt it tho

I know the optics imply otherwise but this wasn't about the anon lol

It was happenstance that the anon said they were annoyed at me for the game and then I saw a post about the claim the creator was a shithead pedo- this was all coincidence and I wasted my time making like 3 posts because of the latter not the former.

Still a waste of my time and energy and something I could easily have kept to myself but I mean- I heard a claim that shocked me and thought about looking into it only to find it wasn't very convincing so I ranted about it on my blog.

If we're talking about the anon then like, yeah you're right.

I understand that they were upset, that sucks and I don't like that I contributed unknowingly. I meant it wholeheartedly that they should block me to be safe because even if I were to never post about it again I demonstrated that I wasn't keen on seeking out DNIs so it'd be the safe play.

As for if I'd be miffed, uh, no. I get the parallel you're trying to draw but I explained how I handle that in the anon post- if I see someone posting stuff I don't like I unfollow, I don't make it their problem.

I get what you mean, but I meant what I said about thinking DNI lists aren't very potent- they are easy to overlook unintentionally (my case) and people who want to be dicks can simply ignore then intentionally (or use them for fuel!), so it only helps in select situations- because of that I don't see overlooking a DNI as being disrespectful or as disregarding their feelings, I see it as an easy mistake with no vitriol.

But if you and others see it as malice fueled then I apologize wholeheartedly, I certainly make the effort when I see them but that wasn't enough in this situation and that's entirely and squarely on me.

did I overlook anything in your message...

- 100% valid to just not like the fans, I honestly thought that was the case in the first place and it was only later that I thought 'huh, maybe it was this claim I just read, I'd like to research this'

- I wouldn't be miffed because I don't see it that way, the relationship between follower and followee is easily handled in other ways and I don't take it personally but I understand your point that it could be- shoulda considered that more.

- I apologize for the implication that I just don't respect their wishes, I do! As I said I would never have followed if I'd known because why would I put that on them?

- It was unfair of me to imply it was offputting to dig through followers I suppose, I guess that's just me? I don't like looking at those lists and only ever interact with followers when blocking them for saying some dumb or offensive shit in a rb or something.

- Again really sorry for the optics- I wasn't ranting about wanting to follow someone, hell no! I've said it before but perhaps not enough- 100% block me without saying a word for any reason what-so-ever. You get a bad vibe, unfollow me, you just generally don't enjoy my bs, unfollow me. I'm just some person on the internet you owe me nothing and your online curated experience is yours to create!

- No need to apologize for my feelings on this, you're in the clear and I hope ya have a good day :P

holy fuck do I not know how to just say something without saying a lot of nothing, I apologize, blame the lack of sleep, I was stoked for a good night's sleep and then one of the cats decided that wasn't happening -.-

[kyunsies]

Mädch darling!!!! 💖💖💖

It's been a minute because I've been having an awful time lately! However!!!!!! I could not sit idly by!!!! So buckle up because I don't know if you're ready for this!!!

First! I love your gifs!!!!! I do!!! They are always so consistently lovely!!! Even if coloring or whatever isn't consistent, the joy I receive from seeing your gifs IS consistent. I'm NEVER annoyed by seeing you post your gifsets. I can always feel the love and joy you put into making them. Especially when you go off in the tags about whoever you happen to be giffing. I love that. I adore seeing you go a little insane about Changkyun (and so does my sister, so that's two, at least).

Secondly! If people are annoyed by your posts or the frequency, that's literally not your fault or your problem in any way, shape or form. It is up to each individual to curate their own experience on Tumblr. It is not your responsibility. Other people's experience on here is not your responsibility. Your blog is Your Space, and you can and will and must do whatever you want with it! Whether your gifs are good (they are) or bad (they aren't), or whether you post too much (not possible) or too little (also not possible), it is not your responsibility or problem if other people are annoyed. I know it can be disheartening if gifs don't get as many notes as you'd hoped, but I want you to know that you at least have one avid fan (actually I can say two fans - my sister also loves seeing your posts).

I hope you know that I LOVE seeing you on my dash. Whether that's gifsets or rb's or text posts or updates or other people's asks (I do read them occasionally), seeing you on my dash always makes me smile, without exception. I do also want to mention I put nearly everything in my queue, so it takes a while for posts to get reblogged sometimes... But! They're there, waiting to be posted.

Anyway!!! I hope your day improves by leaps and bounds today, whether that's by this message or other means (treat yourself? Call a friend? Gif some more?). I really do hope you can continue to do what you love to do without worry! LOL (lots of love) 💖💖💖 dkbtho

hi angel !!!!! i’m sorry i’m getting back to this so late :( i’ve been studying for my second exam of the week tomorrow :’) as always never worry about taking your time replying !!! i’m so sorry to hear you are going through a hard time right now 🥺 everything will end up working it’s way out, okay?

i also want to apologize for …. kinda being a crybaby :/ i’m going to be 100000% honest when i say that even if i were getting 0 notes, i would still be giffing 😭 i love giffing so much and it brings me so much joy . i’m so so proud of the progress i’ve made since the beginning and i’m so grateful for all of my friends who have helped me along the way …. i don’t want to sound like i’m ungrateful or complaining because i understand how annoying that must come across to everyone :( recently i just feel like my content is bothersome ?? idk if that’s the right word but even tho i make gifs because it makes me happy, i also want that happiness to be shared with others too and i just feel like maybe that’s not the case :( tumblr has brought me many great (and honestly some of my worst) online experiences ever and i wouldn’t trade it for a thing . but when you’ve been doing this for a while now, sometimes note count gets in your head and i’ll be the first one to admit it 😭 i try not to think so selfishly about stuff like that because again at the end of the day i absolutely love it, but i think it’s a common thing all content creators feel at some point in their time here …. at least i think?? i hope i’m not the only one …. and it’s hard to talk about that stuff in here bc sometimes ppl take it as “you only care about notes so if you’re unhappy stop doing it” so i try to be as positive as possible, you know?

i can’t help but sometimes think this way, you know? idk i just work really really hard and i want others to hopefully see and share the love that i have in making content ,,,,,,, but again, i also want to thank you so much for even coming here and saying this to me bub 💖 you have a lot going on and you totally didn’t have to take time out of your day to be super supportive, but you did and your kindness is really touching me 🥺 i never want to come across as negative to anyone but some days you are just more down on yourself than others, right? but regardless, thank you for your supportive and sweet words, they really made my heart swell earlier today 🥺 even if tumblr is in shambles (more than it is lol) this gal will still be giffing even if it kills me nsnndnndjd so , just thank you and i love you loads and i hope things will start to look better for you angel !!! have a nice night 💕💓💖💗💘💞💕💓💖💗💘💞💕💓💖💗💘💞
