#swords and erectile dysfunction...

[mummer]

they could never EVER neverrrrrr ever ever do this even ryan condal would never cede such an “iconic” setpiece & “memorable” dialogue and even if he wanted to HBO simply would not allow it but in my minds eye ideal hotd adaptation of the battle of the gods eye completely discards EVERYTHING supposedly recounted/editorialized in fire and blood no anime dialogue no ultra choreographed fight scene no cinematic beautiful shots of the dragons dancing no leaping from dragon to dragon its actually like incredibly fast and loud and incomprehensible to the audience just beasts colliding and ripping each other apart dirt and blood and horrific and disgusting and ultimately super SUPER pathetic ❤️ daemon and aemond dont get to make any epic last stands theres no glorious blaze out, no chilling last words, no grand narrative, in the end it really is just two men thudding to the bottom of a lake and getting eaten by fish. make the craziest climax in the world an anticlimax. ultimate antimoment

Double-Edged Sword

The only way Spencer is allowed to fuck you is to wear a strap-on.

Warnings: Sub Spencer, strap-on (he’s wearing it!), vibrator, riding, crying, slapping, erectile dysfunction, female orgasm, male orgasm, degradation, self-doubt. 

WC: 1.6K

The poor man was already in tears by the time you had buckled him into the harness. Weak pleads for you to show some semblance of mercy as you pull the dark leather tight against his trembling thighs. 

“Please, please ‘m sorry.” 

Spencer cries out as he shamefully looks down at the strap-on that’s replaced his own aching cock. He’d been bad, of course, but this was pure cruelty. 

Ignoring his pleads, you wrap your lips around the head of the fake cock, the cold silicone shining against the wet buds of your tongue.

His eyebrows furrow in envy, wishing to replace the toy instead of the vice versa he's found himself in. 

"Please, it's not fair.."

Spencer's voice trails off as you shamelessly stroke the dildo as if it were real. Using your circled fist, you wet the toy with a droplet of your spit and jerk it off.

And despite his envy, he wishes so desperately that he could get hard. You’d locked his poor cock in a wretched metal cage, the cold silver bars preventing him from reaching even half mast. 

His thighs tremble from around your head, and you coo pitifully at him, your hand still torturously wrapped around the strap. 

“Poor thing, sit down, will you?”

Your voice beckons to him, raising your chin a bit as you gently push him back until his legs hit the bed frame. 

With a frustrated huff, he sits down against the soft comforter as you climbs atop him. His eyes shine with tears and pleas for you to stop whatever this punishment is.

The pupils reading apologies and lines of ‘I learned my lesson’ that you had no interest in. 

Pulling your panties to the side, you rub the sensitive bud of your clit over the artificial head of the cock that was everything but him. 

“Can you feel how wet I am?”

You taunt, looking Spencer right in those sad eyes filled with betrayal and jealousy. With your lips parted in soft sighs, you reach past him to retrieve the box that had contained the strap-on.

Your hand rustles in the cardboard for a moment, before you pull out a small controller no larger than your palm. Spencer swallowed thickly and tried to reason with you one last time.

“I-I’m sorry I didn’t mean to.. Please just—“

A loud buzzing cuts him off, and his words plummet into a strained whine. Throwing his head back, a few tears run down his temples. 

As you grind your soaked folds against the tip, the double-sided toy was pressed right against the thin bars of his chastity cage. 

Spencer’s thighs squeezed together as the pain of not being able to get hard and the constant whirring of the vibrator quickly overwhelmed him. 

He lets out a slacked-jaw moan as the metal against his shaft shakes as frantically as his body. And you relish in the sight as you sink down onto thick, hard silicone.

You lean into the crook of his neck and press wet kisses against the sweaty skin, beginning to lift yourself up and down in his lap.

“You feel so good, Spence.”

You whisper in his ear, and he’s quick to turn his head away from you in the same kind of bratty manner that got him into this situation in the first place. 

He’s breathing heavily out of his nose, trying his hardest not to make any more noises. He didn’t want to give you the satisfaction of knowing how badly he wished it was him you were riding so fervently. 

You hadn’t fucked him like this in a while, his chest ached slightly at the thought. Your drenched cunt greedily swallowing the whole toy in ways that he couldn’t help but tear up in envy over.

He missed when it was his cock that was being coated in that slick layer of white that you so easily granted to a stupid toy. 

The brunet was snapped out of his jealous fantasy when you’re turning up the vibration on his toy. His eyes involuntarily roll into the back of his skull and his mouth can’t help but unhinge to let out a loud whimper. 

The fake cock was hitting that spongy spot inside of you that only Spencer was allowed to find, and you grin evilly as you grab his loose jaw and force him to look at you. 

You’re just as sweaty as he is, but your eyes aren’t filled with remorse like his are. 

“See what happens when you act out?”

You rhetorically ask before you slap him across his already red cheeks. His head quickly turns with the force, and he lets out a quiet gasp. 

Grabbing his jaw again, you’re quick to reprimand him once more.

“Thinking you can misbehave and still get what you want.”

You slap his face in the opposite direction and feel the tracks of tears that coat his face. 

As you circle your hips and ride the strap even faster, all it takes is one look and he knows you’re close. He shakes his head and tries to speak, but he just can’t.

He doesn’t want a toy to make you finish, that should be him. It should be his cock that you’re grinding so hard on, his length that you should be tightening around, and his tip that should be stamping into your spot. 

But instead, he’s forced to watch with a flaccid cock and heavy balls as you throw your head back and cum around slickened silicone.

Your release leaks around the dildo and onto his thighs, and that’s the only semblance of your pleasure he’s been allowed to feel. As your slick drips down his skin, tears stream down his face. 

And that stupid vibrator underneath his cock is unrelenting, he’s so turned on but can’t do a thing about it. 

With a heaving chest and lowered eyelids, you lift yourself up off his lap.

The toy bobs with the freedom from your cunt and dribbles with the pleasure of your orgasm. 

Spencer’s absolutely breathless as you lower yourself onto your knees in front of him. Strands of his hair stick to his face, and he can barely muster up the courage to look you in the eye.

Your face is a blur to him as you lick up your release from the fake cock, wrapping your wet lips around the shaft and swallowing your own slick. 

With a whimper, he closes his eyes and prays for this to be over. You’ve made your point, he’s easily replaceable, he needs to get his shit together.

But you’re not nearly done with him, not as you’re undoing the straps of leather as you suck off his replacement. 

You release the harness from his body and let it drop to the floor. The incessant buzzing from the toy still ringing in the air, taunting him.

The dual purpose toy had given everything to you, and he’d gotten nothing out of it. He was nothing without you, and you could have everything without him. 

Spencer’s head is clouded with sexual frustration and self disgust alike as you make quick work of fetching the key to his dear chastity cage. 

Twisting the small key into the lock, the cage becomes undone and you pull it off of him. 

But even as you discard the contraption, his soft cock lay before you in a pathetic display of uselessness. 

With gentle hands, you reach out to cup his small bulge. There’s a sick smile on your face as you pour up at him. 

“Look at you.. How could you have ever made me feel as good as that toy did?”

He huffs and tries his best to reason with you. He was certain he was better than that toy, he just couldn’t prove it. 

“I can.”

He says matter of factly, but as you nestle his lack of erection, he’s proven himself inferior. There’s an excuse dying on the tip of his tongue the moment he gets distracted by the soft caresses you deal to his flaccid length. 

It feels so good, but he simply couldn’t get hard. The cage had rendered him useless for your pleasures.

“It’s okay, Spence. We can just use the strap from now on..”

You softly murmur as you run your thumb against the soft head of his cock. The pathetic little thing leaks a drop of sticky precum, and you swirl it around as you can physically feel his refusal to your suggestion. 

“N-No. I’m better than that thing, please..”

He whines gently, having been broken down by whatever mind games you’ve played with him. 

Maybe the toy was better than him. At least it stayed hard, and at least it wasn’t about to cum from just a few soft touches. 

There’s a dull ache in the pit of his stomach, and a tingling in his pathetic little cock that he simply can’t ignore. 

Spencer tries his absolute hardest to hold out, but before you’ve even got a chance to rebuttal his pleads, a shaky moan forces its way from his throat as he spills over your thumb and pointer finger. 

As hot droplets of cum coat your fingers, you sigh almost disappointingly and watch as his release covers his soft length. 

“‘M sorry, I’m sorry.” 

He pitifully whispers as his entire body trembles with the aftershocks of a sorry excuse for an orgasm. 

The toy that resides the role of his rival mocks him. Vibrating gently against the wooden floors that his sticky ribbons drip onto. 

You stand up slowly and press a kiss against his tear stained cheek, knowing that he’d be on his best behavior from here on out.

Omg! Hii!

Anyways, I would love for you to write something like, maybe y/n is petty, because soshiro and y/n were both battling it out for the vice captain job? Soshiro Thinks Y/n hates his guts because shes always roasting him. Oneday, he stumbles opon her diary, and finds out shes actually a die-hard simp

OH MAYBE SHE SAYS SOMETHING LIKE "I love it when he bosses me around' EHEHE

Anyways love your fics!! <3

@soshirohoshinasimp Yay it's you again! Hello dear, so happy you love my fics! Appreciate you so much. I hope you continue writing as well! Also, thank you so much for this prompt, I had so much fun writing it, it's definitely one of my favs.

Follow Me

You and Hoshina butt heads so frequently it was a wonder your heads weren't permanently mashed together at this point.

It started when you both met during the Defense Force Exam- he had already taken down a third of the kaiju in the arena and he had the nerve to snatch one of your kills from you, the attention-seeking bastard. You had your gun aimed and ready, finger curled around the trigger, about to shoot, and he swooped in and sliced the kaiju to bits. In response, you chased him all over the training grounds, sniping every beast he went after before he could even react. And that was how he found out that there was actually someone who could keep up with his speed. Yeah, he was annoyed as shit, which pleased you immensely.

Then, when you were both rookie officers in the same division, you'd constantly be competing over combat power. He'd increase his stamina through vigorous training, bragging to you that he was at 40% and then you'd shoot back that he was still too damn slow because you were at 45%. Then he'd learn a new sword style technique and hit 50% with a smug look on his stupid face and you'd rush to keep up, vowing to him you'd make him choke on your dust one day when you left him behind. Sometimes you'd swear that just the act of pissing you off upped his combat power because it gave him the biggest rush. Some days, you weren't even sure if he cared about the numbers anymore, he just liked to push your buttons. Well you always pushed right back.

You accidentally glimpsed some old pics of Hoshina when he was a kid and you realized he'd had the same haircut his entire life so he must have one hell of a consistent barber. And that barber had to have hella dirt on him, having known him his whole life. So, of course, you tracked down his barber (like any sane person would do, right?) and coaxed him into telling you stories about Hoshina when he was little.

The next day, the base was abuzz with gossip about the time that Hoshina almost drowned at the hair salon because he tried to scoot further up in his chair while his barber was still shampooing him and he hit his head on the faucet, choking down the water in the process, and Hoshina just knew you had something to do with it. After all, how could it have not been you? You had the most satisfied, most devilish look on your face all day, though you never admitted it was you who spread the rumors.

After that day, it seemed nothing was off limits anymore. Hoshina spread hideous pictures of you with braces on when you were a teenager all throughout campus (to this day, you were still unsure how on earth he found them, you thought you'd destroyed all trace of the evidence) and as payback, you hid erectile dysfunction medications in his bag and then slit a hole in the bottom of it so when he spilled the contents of his bag in the locker room the next day in front of all the other officers and then denied it vehemently the other officers just took his denial as further confirmation of his... issue.

But as nasty as both of your pranks seemed, some of them were actually quite amusing, even endearing. You'd had a bad day at work one day and to cheer you up (you think), Hoshina set a litter of puppies loose in your bedroom. You did have a shit ton (pun intended) of shit to clean up after that, but it didn't matter, you'd already cheered up when you saw their adorable wagging tails and big round eyes. So, to repay him, you filled every square inch of his room with bottles of his favorite coffee. He couldn't sleep on his own bed for weeks, but at least he had a long lasting supply of wake-up juice.

And the two of you got to know each other extremely well through all this competing and bickering. He'd figured out what time you liked to go to your favorite bakery and he'd buy out their entire stock of your favorite pastry before you got there. It took you awhile to figure out how they were always cleaned out of only your favorite snack everyday, but then one day you got injured in a fight and you found him leaving a chocolate croissant by your hospital bed when you woke up.

It seemed like things were taking a different turn than you'd thought, and maybe the two of you could actually be friends for once, instead of rivals.

But then you both got the same letter saying that one of you would be the new Vice Captain of the Third Division and it all depended on your performance going forward.

"Only 70% combat power, huh? Not very 'Vice Captain' of you. Maybe I'll have less competition than I thought." You'd smugly say to him in passing.

He'd roll his eyes and say, "Oh yeah? And how's that training of yours going by the way? Cuz I could've sworn I beat you by nearly half a mile in that last marathon, getting slow in your old age?"

You were the same damn age as him. Fucker.

But even though the two of you would tease each other like you always did, you could tell that this time things were different. There were actual stakes on the line and one of your futures would be greatly impacted by this. You were both so young, it would be an impressive feat to be Vice Captain at this age. Both of you wanted that badge of honor to parade around.

Eventually, you were neck and neck. Both about 90% each. For the first time you were evenly matched. It was anyone's call who'd be the next Vice Captain.

It even crossed your mind that neither of you would ever be Vice Captain and the two of you would just be locked in a life long battle to be better than the other. But one day, something changed your mind and changed the course of both of your futures.

You saw him training someone in secret, someone who had absolutely no chance of being in the Defense Force and honestly had no business being in the Defense Force with how weak he was. But Hoshina saw his potential and he spent his free time nurturing that potential. That made you think about all the other little things Hoshina would do like this.

If someone was down about their skill level, he'd always point out something that was so obviously impressive about them and his simple logic would always win them over, cheering them up. Because how could he be wrong if it actually made sense? He'd say it like it was a simple statement, like he was just reciting a fact, but you knew he'd put thought into trying to comfort them.

If a kaiju was particularly difficult to defeat, Hoshina would look at all the angles, strategizing different ways to bring them down, ways that normal people wouldn't even consider. Even if it was crazy, if it was possible, if it would save more people, he'd do it with no hesitation.

He was fearless and strong, but he was also selfless and kind. And you'd started to adore that about him.

So you wrote a letter to the Captain of the Third Division withdrawing your desire to be Vice Captain, saying you'd follow wherever Hoshina led.

It was your little secret. Until it wasn't.

You swore you saw Hoshina coming out of your room one day, but when you didn't find it filled to the brim with anything, didn't see any trace of his usual pranks, you thought you might have imagined things.

But then when he ignored you for an entire week, not even bothering to tease you or respond to your teasing, you knew something was very wrong. You even started to miss him annoying you, and that realization deepened the pit in your stomach even further.

Then he showed up at your door.

"Can I... can I come in?"

You stared at him for a moment. "Um... sure?" You stepped aside awkwardly, unsure what was about to happen, but you missed him so much you'd let it happen anyway.

He paced in front of your desk for a moment and then he finally said, "I got the Vice Captain position."

You smiled. "Congrats. I'm happy for you."

He groaned at that. "Don't. Don't do that, don't say that. I only got the position because of you."

You raised an eyebrow at him, wondering what he could be talking about. Surely he didn't know about your letter... right? "What do you mean? You got the position because you deserved it." Your words were still true, you did feel he was the best person for the job.

"Yeah but you wrote that damn letter. At first I was so pissed at you, and then I was so pissed off at myself for feeling like I couldn't have gotten the spot without you."

You gulped. Well shit. Cat's out of the fucking bag now.

"Hoshina-"

"No, I'm not done yet. Let me finish."

You let him continue but you sank into the couch, feeling like the shock of having this conversation was too much to handle standing.

"I read your diary. I felt like we'd been so stressed lately competing for Vice Captain, I thought a lighthearted joke would bring us back to where we were before, so I wanted to see what I could do to get you to smile again. So I flipped through your diary, and yes, I know where you hide it, don't even give me that look- you're not very good at hiding things and you know I know you too well for this."

He chuckled softly, shaking his head. The familiar sound eased your nerves a little. Just a little. You still held your breath as he continued, wondering just how much he read.

"I was shocked by the way, here I was thinking you hated me and I come to find out that you think it's cute when I boss you around and you actually like being around me." He teased, nudging you playfully.

You flushed at that but remained silent.

"But then I read that you'd sent in the letter withdrawing from the running. I was so furious I couldn't even read the rest. So I sulked for a week. But now I'm here. And I want to know why. I know you well enough to know this can't be a joke. You'd never throw away something so important for the sake of a prank, so tell me why. Why'd you do it?" His eyes were desperate and pleading and you knew you couldn't lie to him.

You cleared your throat, meeting his gaze even though every part of you wanted to look away. "I meant what I said. You deserve the position, more than me even. I'm strong, but I don't inspire people the way you do. I'm fast, but I don't rally people the way you do. And I care about people, but you love people. You were meant to do great things and I guess I just realized I wanted to watch you do them. I'll follow wherever you go, Soshiro."

It was his turn to flush now, realizing that this was the first time you'd ever called him by his first name, and with such sincerity no less. His breath caught in his throat as he tried to compose the right words to say. He finally settled on mumbling, "You always were a pain in the ass, you know that?"

You laughed at that, a real genuine laugh and it made him smile. "I could say the same for you. But you know... I can't seem to live without you being a thorn in my side anymore. Is that so strange?"

He shook his head quickly. "I feel the same. It's like I need you near me or I can't go on with my life."

You both go silent as the weight of this realization hits you hard.

"Follow me. Be by my side. Wherever I go, I want you there with me," He said finally, quoting your earlier words. He held a hand out to you and you took it, squeezing it tight and then pressing a kiss to it.

He's shocked but then he says with a smirk, "I think you missed." He points to his lips.

"Yeah, no, you're going to have to buy me dinner first." You tease, nudging him with your shoulder.

He grins widely and you take in the sweet sight.

"I can do that. I'll buy you a million dinners if that's what it takes."

TGCF Season 2 Episode 1 fave bits:

EVERYTHING

Xie Lian walking backwards to troll the gossipy gods following him around. Iconic. This is why he and Hua Cheng are such a good match. Pair of little shits.

Crunchyroll captions. Jun Wu, solemn Emperor of Heaven, the most revered and worshiped of all the gods: "So, what's the deal?"

All the "OOH the scary sword. Don't touch the scary sword. Be careful around the scary sword," is so funny when you know Xie Lian is gonna immediately start petting it like a puppy.

Shi Qingxuan, obviously

The fact that the donghua isn't cutting the little scenes you would expect to get cut when a long novel is adapted. The little bit with the ghost ladies wanting to know how Shi Qingxuan keeps her face in such good condition is the sort of thing you'd expect to be cut for time, but it's still there.

The joke about Xie Lian's erectile dysfunction remaining bodes well for the rest of the season lmao.

Ghost city is wonderful

HUA CHENG YOU MANSPREADING SLUT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

"The fact that he said that, though, to not insult her is so sweet. But the fact that now Hua Cheng thinks he can't get an erection?" "Priceless."

[celticcrossanon]

Hi, Celta, I saw your post about PH fathering children. I've seen this topic before and it leaves me with questions. If PH has erectile dysfunction, how has he managed to have long term relationships with various women? Wouldn't it mean all these women - including MM - signed up for an intercourse free lifestyle with him? That's a hard sell.

You can have ED or low sperm count but still father children with the help of IVF. But I've heard of male fertility problems so serious that no children are possible.

I do think the children look like him. Especially Archie. So perhaps this last option isn't his situation? I'm sure you have followers who understand this issue and can shed some light. I thought recently that the rush to get to Califirnia during Covid may have been to access frozen eggs/get IVF support for PH. (And of course to move there for the lifestyle.) But perhaps they didn't tell the BRF. I heard Sophie may have used iVF for her 2nd pregnancy. Unless a surrogate was used, it's a nothing burger.

And yet here we are with this intense reading. Something is up.

Hi Nonny,

I don't think Harry has ED (maybe now, after the drinks and drugs, but not in the past). I do think he has something wrong with his male bits that render him unable to father children (I lean towards low sperm count or no sperm count).

As you said, here we are with this reading, and the result is the same as one I did on this years ago where the card was The King of Swords (barren sign, air (swords) not water (cups, fertile) or earth (pentacles, physical things).

I agree that if the pregnancy was made possible using medical assistance and the person who carried the child was Meghan, then there is nothing against the law in that. It is horrible of the Sussexes to disguise e.g. the details of the birth, but using IVF to create a bay and the wife carry it is not against the rules for the Line of Succession.

What is against the rules, as you said, is using a surrogate. It doesn't matter if the kids are biologically harry and Meghan's or not. The baby has to be carried and birthed by the woman married to the male royal/by the female royal otherwise it is not eligible for the Line of Succession ('of the body' rule).

So we have the very strange announcement of Archie's birth, the impossible feats by Meghan during her pregnancy (squatting with her knees together and a large belly plus all the belly shenanighans), the obscuring of the birth itself, and then a few PR announcements about the second child's conception and birth, again with impossible pregnancy photos of Meghan. That by itself is enough to raise by suspicions. Add on tarot readings saying that Harry is unable to father children (and, if I remember correctly, another old one saying Meghan is unable to carry a child to term), and as you said, something is definitely up.

I want the truth to be told. I am sick and tired of the Sussex lies.

E'ming vs. Xuan Su

E'ming propaganda:

I just had to come here and wax poetically about E-Ming. Not only is he a) a deadly scimitar that can and has defeated gods, b) the legendary weapon of the strongest ghost king, and c) made USING that ghost king’s eye, he’s also the goodest boy to have ever existed.

He’s basically a puppy dog in sword form and he just wants love and pets. He’s so expressive and adorable that Xie Lian completely ignore all warnings to avoid him to instead treat him like the puppy he is.

Plus there’s his creation story! (Spoilers for TGCF). Back when Hua Cheng was still a weak ghost on Mount Tonglu, he chose to pretext a group of lost mortals by ripping out his eye and forging E-Ming as a weapon. It was a dangerous and risky choice that could have forever separated Hua Cheng from Xie Lian, but he still did it simply because he cares more about others than he likes to admit. E-Ming represents Hua Cheng’s weakness and humanity and even though Hua Cheng resents him for that, Xie Lian loves him for it all the same.

Therefore E-Ming is a) a badass sword, b) an adorable puppy who deserves love, and c) a physical representation of who Hua Cheng is and how he and Xie Lian perceive him. E-Ming is precious and deserves all the votes (and pets)!

Also he just looks really, really cool too! (submitted by @alittlelessalone)

e'ming is babie!!!!!

Xuan Su propaganda:

Xuan Su means "Dark and solemn". Yue Qingyuan's sword, vitality important to his backstory. Its so strong that few cultivators can even stand when he pulls it out, even by a sliver. It drain's yqy's lifeforce in exchange for incredible amounts of power! It wasn't even drawn fully during the sealing of Tianlang-jun, and was instrumental to his defeat. Even pidw Bingge couldn't defeat him one-on-one!

i haven't been able to get 'Xuan Su is YQY's erectile dysfunction' out of my head for multiple days and I have one thing to say about it: it's SO funny, please let Xuan Su win so that this extremely powerful, OP, life ending sword can instead be known as YQY's limp dick. (submitted by @valiantbarnes)

Xuan Su is quite possibly the strongest sword on this list. It is so powerful that when Yue Qingyuan first got it, he was forced (via many broken bones) into secluded meditation in a cave for YEARS to prevent a deadly qi deviation, preventing him from saving Shen Jiu, destroying their relationship. And even once YQY grew to be the most powerful cultivator in the world (Bingge couldn't even kill him without an ambush) he still couldn't draw it without it sapping years off of his life every time. YQY had to carry two swords for his entire life because his first sword could and would kill him if given the chance.

Also, in PIDW, after Bingge killed YQY and Xuan Su shattered, Bingge used the shards to taunt Shen Qingqiu and SQQ swallows the shards to kill himself. Imagine swallowing the shards of a sword that belonged to your beloved childhood friend turned kind-of boss who missed you so much even when you were right there and for whom you feel so much bitterness and longing and yet cared for so much that news of his death is the only thing that could have broken you, even after years of horrific torture. The drama of that alone should win it some points, I think. (submitted by @slythavakna)

[everything-laito]

I have a question that maybe it's NSFW? In his opinion as a laito analyst, what would be his reaction to being "impotent" sexually, let's say: laito no longer being able to lift his "sword"!

if you have to clarify to me what sexual impotence is and then use "sword" as a euphemism for a penis, I have to believe you might be too young to be asking this

Usually, I give the benefit of the doubt when it comes to nsfw questions since this is a blog talking about more mature topics and I know that everyone here who follows me or is into dialovers is an adult, which is why I try my best to not be as explicit on this account but also talk about mature themes in a more educational manner. (although I've always been very adamant about no minors in kinks on this blog and as a person)

I know I got into dialovers when I was definitely too young (14; I'm almost 24) and I know teenage hormones are a bitch and a half, and I know there's nothing to stop teenagers from seeking out adult-themed media (I still think it's wrong that DL is rated for 15-17-year-olds in Japan but that's a whole other can of worms). So that being said, I believe it's my responsibility as an adult to at least parse through these topics with at least some grace. Tangent aside, because this is extremely off-topic and I forgot to take my ADHD meds (doing that right now), I'm still going to answer your question in my typical matter-of-fact manner with some jabs at Laito.

From a Laito standpoint: bro would always find a way somehow, there's also probably the vampire equivalent to viagra (ngl it is really funny to imagine Laito coming to Reiji about this issue, let alone with just any physical ailment issue--not just this. It has been shown multiple times that Laito just WILL bother Reiji to solve his issues for him in some drama CDs iIrc and that's really funny)

From a medical standpoint after doing some light research: you can still ejaculate despite having erectile dysfunction; you don't need an erection to orgasm (I for one, did not know this, and I learned something about the male anatomy today).

My conclusion: Laito would be frustrated, as I imagine having a body part that is suddenly not working the way it used to be would--but 1. he's crafty, and 2. he's Laito. He's Laito. He'll find some way or eventually not care about it because he always finds a way.

anon also if you're 18+ sorry for accusing you of being a minor, those were just the vibes so it was a very "just in case" kinda thing

[st-just]

In principle I'm uninterested in any more epic fantasy about high nobility but I have to admit that if it involved more stuff like 'court proceeding alleging someone was cursed with erectile dysfunction by a witch so his wife can get their marriage annulled annulled and then hook up the king's favorite/lover' instead of just swording I might sing a different tune.

My Review of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation II

Season One Review Here

Alright, my favorite modern Isekai is back! Same cast, same studio, same kinky pervertedness…

Okay, some things aren’t that great when said out loud.

HISTORY: A 34-year-old shut-in is out of the house for the first time in forever. And he’s immediately hit by a truck. This man then wakes up as a baby in another world to parents Paul and Zenith Greyrat. We’re not sure what the man’s name was in his prior life, but he will now be known as Rudeus (or Rudy). His 34-year-old mind is in the body of this child. And this new world Rudeus is in is heavily focused on magic and swords. In the first 5 years as Rudeus, he managed to become well equipped with learning magic incantations, even out-doing his own teacher, Roxy. In his downtime, he ends up making friends with a cute, green-haired girl named Sylph. And when he’s sent away for training, he meets his cousin Eris and becomes her tutor.

Seems easy going at first, but once Rudeus hit 10 his whole world changed. Actually, the entire continent was changed and most of it not for the better. A giant mana disaster hit sending an entire continent of people all over. In Rudeus and Eris’s case, they were able to survive for several years. Others like Rudeus’s family has had it rough.

And I’m going to stop that here because of spoilers. Seriously, just watch and read my previous review.

SYLPH: In season one, we focused a great deal on Eris. Mostly because she’s with Rudeus! Roxy gets some extra screen time despite never being in the same place as Rudeus. But what about Sylph? We don’t see her after the great mana disaster and all we know is that she was marked as safe afterward. Before season two officially started, we were treated to an episode 0 that tells the tale of what happened to Sylph when the big mana disaster hit. Sylph was flying through the air, her hair changed colors, she kills a monster, and saves a princess. It will not sound less weird if I repeated this statement.

Because of unfortunate circumstances regarding where Sylph hails from and what occurred, the princess (Ariel) has Sylph hide her identity for her own safety. Sylph is now known as Fitz and is to be the princess’s bodyguard. Sylph goes above and beyond to protect Princess Ariel that the two of them get closer as friends than just bodyguard and princess. That’s why Sylph goes to the magic academy on her own accord to be with Ariel.

SEASON TWO: Just like with season one, it will be split into two parts. Rudeus is still depressed about Eris leaving him. He still keeps a lock of her hair and strokes it to…you know what, I’m not going to judge him after all he’s been through…Still creepy though! Rudeus ends up joining a new group, but was hesitant due to his closeness with his prior group and again, still sad over Eris. Things worked out well at first. That is until Rudeus had bedroom problems and took his frustration out at his new crew.

OH! Now I get why my friend called it the limp biscuit arc!

Soon after these setbacks hit Rudeus, he got word that a school wants him as a student. There he meets an old ally, new friends, new foes, and…SYLPH?! Nope, sorry, after the events of Episode 0, she is Fitz, the silent, mysterious bodyguard to the princess. It isn’t just “Fitz” as Rudeus meets several other people from season one who are attending this academy. Here, Rudeus makes new connections and indiscreetly gets help with curing his erectile dysfunction.

LICENSING: As usual, Crunchyroll is the one dishing it out. They dubbed it too and…that’s all I’ve got for this category.

NEW CHARACTERS: Some of these characters were technically introduced in the first season. It’s just that their characters are a little more fleshed out and they were featured more often than prior.

Let’s start with Rudeus’s sisters Norn and Aisha. In the first season, Rudeus only spent a small amount of time with his sisters before their father Paul sent Rudeus away. And they were infants at that time. The next time they met was years later and under other circumstances. Norn had an intense hatred for her brother due to him punching their father. Aisha respects and idolizes her brother because Rudeus saved Aisha and her mother. In this season, Paul sent Norn and Aisha to stay with Rudeus while he went on a search for Zenith. Aisha forgoed school to just stay at Rudeus’s home and become a maid like her mother. Norn enrolled in the same academy as Rudeus. Despite a rocky start, Norn got the hang of her new settings and even has a little more respect for her elder brother.

Princess Ariel is the daughter of King Triton. She lives under the sea, goes out searching on her own, and sings about wanting more. I had to do it. Because Ariel is third in line to the throne, her life is constantly in danger. Coming upon Sylph back during the great mana disaster was a bit of luck on her part as she saw her potential. While shielding her real identity, Ariel essentially saved Sylph and protected her. Once Rudeus came into the picture, Ariel loosened Sylph’s restraints and became a supporter to this romance.

Shizuka…Where do I even begin with this one? First of all, Shizuka came from Rudeus’s original world. Unlike being reincarnated like Rudeus, Shizuka was teleported. Add to that, Shizuka was the girl Rudeus saved when he got struck by that truck and was reincarnated. In the first season, she’s seen with Orsted (the Dragon God that scared everyone except Rudeus). Shizuka hates being in this world and wants to go back to her original world. While Rudeus likes his life here and won’t join Shizuka in returning, he does help her with teleportation circles.

Zanoba. Yeah, I’ll add him too. In season one, we see him and Rudeus bond over figures Rudeus crafts. This continues throughout this season. Let’s just say Zanoba is a lot better than what he used to be. When you kill your brother (at age 3 no less) and later down the line, kill your fiancé, him working with dolls with a slave is a lot better.

Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

SHIPPING PART DEUX: It’s obvious that going into this season that Rudeus was not over the whole Eris thing. He’s tried to move on by burning the piece of hair he kept. But the crowning moment in this sob moment was when temporary new mate Sara goes on a date with Rudeus as a thank you for saving her. Oh, the date and dinner were no problem at all. It’s what happened afterward in the bedroom.

Rudeus Greyrat has officially become Broke-dick Bob.

Now, during this limp biscuit arc, he does get a baby inkling from his johnson. Problem is that it was inkling when in the company of another male. Or so Rudeus thinks! He got into a very sweet friendship with the mysterious classmate known as Fitz. But as we all know FITZ IS SYLPH! It’s just Rudeus doesn’t know until he literally sees Fitz’s exposed body. After that moment, things between Rudeus and Sylph actually turned for the better. She helped Rudeus cure his E.D., he took Sylph’s virginity, and got a nice bloody keepsake of the sheet they slept on that night. It’s going in his collection next to Roxy’s panties.

He still has Roxy’s panties. He prays to them. And now he’s keeping the bedsheet with the shattered remains of Sylph’s hymen. This show is still all kinds of canceled.

In that aftermath, Rudeus gets engaged and later marries Sylph. And even better, he knocks her up. Yeah, this is turning into a Tomodachi Life happy ending scenario here. Let’s see what happens when we take Rudeus and put him on another continent with Roxy.

Roxy has not seen Rudeus since he was a little child. So, their first meeting in over 10 years did not go over well for Rudeus as she didn’t even recognize him. Water under the bridge actually. Rudeus is really grateful and happy to be with his master again and Roxy is actually all blushy. Funny how no one tells her that Rudeus is married with a baby on the way. I sense Rudeus walking down the same path his father did. He does and thensome! I’ll delve into it a bit deeper when I get into spoilers about the ending to the season, but Rudeus is definitely Paul’s boy.

UH-OH, THIS TOPIC: Slavery!

Yes children, Mushoku Tensei is going to get into slavery. Halfway into the first part, Rudeus gets the notion that if he purchases a slave, it’ll apparently help his friend Zanoba create sexy figures? I don’t know, just go with it! Rudeus buys a slave. It appears that the character Rudeus isn’t outraged about slavery. Insert Twitter losing it’s shit.

Rising of the Shield Hero had way too much slavery topics and people choose to lose their collective shit-bricks on this?! Even the creator had to come out and clear the air on the subject.

END OF PART ONE: Rudeus’s adventures in school take a turn when he runs into a familiar someone in more than one way. Near the end of season one, Rudeus had a run-in with the man known as the Dragon God (or Orsted). Alongside him was a masked woman. Rudeus met up with this masked woman. Things are about to go crazy. This girl (named Shizuka) was originally from Japan much like Rudeus. Rudeus does recognize her as the girl he saved from getting hit by a truck when his previous life ended. Though, he keeps it to himself along with his real name before being reborn as Rudeus Greyrat. Apparently Shizuka did not die and come to this world. She was teleported and it happened when the big mana disaster struck. Unlike Rudeus, Shizuka wants to go back to her life in modern Japan. For the time, Rudeus and Shizuka seem to want to use one another.

Meanwhile, I’m groaning impatiently with the development of Fitz and Rudeus. Like, when the hell is Rudy-boy going to realize that Fitz is really Sylph? He’s realizing that he has feelings for Fitz and making this whole E.D. storyline something else. Rudeus is concerned that Fitz is a male. Everyone says so. But an accidental trip had Rudeus confused further. He clearly felt female parts on Fitz and a partial erection. Fitz denies being female and runs off. I have no words here. I think Fitz has permission to at least let Rudeus know the truth. Especially since Fitz told a bunch of embarrassing stories from their youth to Ariel and about her feelings now. We finally get the moment we’ve been waiting for as Rudeus and Fitz are warming up in a cave and Rudeus forces Fitz to undress so that they don’t catch a cold.

Where have I seen this before? Oh, that’s right! When they were kids, Rudeus didn’t know that Sylph was a girl yet and forced her to take off her clothes so she doesn’t catch a cold. She slowly takes off her clothes, including her sunblockers. There she is, standing in front of her long-time friend and crush, partially naked and exposed. What does Rudy do? He smiles and asks if Fitz’s real name is Sylphette. FINALLY! GOD, YES! They’re going to fuck! AW, FUCK YEAH!

Oh wait, we’re still in Limp Bizkit arc. Nope, no. Broke-dick Bob ain’t getting any nookie tonight.

Despite that epic fail, Rudeus and Sylph were able to reconnect without connecting sexually…For now! After Sylph discussed the events of that night to Luke and Princess Ariel, these three went into scheme mode. Luke managed to dig up an aphrodisiac to help Rudeus with his impotency. This potion might not be the most romantic methods for Sylph’s first time, but it’ll help a fella who has been impotent for 3 years. As much as I revel in Rudeus’s E.D., that is quite a long time and I do feel somewhat sorry for his little fella.

The end result of this aphrodisiac…Mission accomplished! Rudy did the deed. Not sure what the mystery stain on the bed sheets was. Spilled wine or a broken hymen! But the bigger question looms. Does Sylph stay with Rudy or does she ditch him like Eris? SHE STAYED! Better, Rudeus is cured. And even better than that, Sylph and Rudeus are engaged!

PART TWO: Rudeus no longer has E.D. and is currently engaged to Sylph. Now what? I guess the custom in this world if you’re in this situation is that you have enough money to get a house for him and Sylph. It seems as though all of Rudeus’s friends at the school are happy about the occasion and same goes for Sylph’s side. In fact, Princess Ariel is giving her blessings and not having Sylph try and come back as her bodyguard. And then we learn Elinalise is Sylph’s grandmother.

Do what now?

Yeah, that’s a spoiler I did not stumble upon nor was expecting. That kind of slammed me into a wall. We learn a little bit about Elinalise in the first season. We know that she used to travel with Paul and Zenith. But what most people remember about her is that she sleeps with every living man she can find. Roxy was scarred watching all of that. But there’s much more to that come season two. During this season, Elinalise enters the academy alongside Rudeus. There, she meets another student named Cliff who has the hots for her. But unlike every other guy she’s been with, this guy seems genuine. It’s just that Elinalise is cursed and will die if she doesn’t continue to sleep with other men. Seriously, weird curse. Regardless, Cliff still loves Elinalise. I don’t even think Cliff is bothered by the fact that she’s a grandmother.

Aside from this, we are getting some early season one vibes as Rudeus’s family comes to live with him in his new abode. Paul got a hot tip on where Zenith was and wants Aisha and Norn to stay with Rudeus. I’m glad Rudeus is getting the opportunity to be with his baby sisters. He’s only had a few encounters with them since they were babies when Rudeus was sent away. And even after that, Aisha was saved by him (which was good in his favor), but Norn is still sour because Rudeus punched Paul in the face a few years ago.

END OF PART TWO: Things were actually looking up for Rudeus. His sister Norn was finally opening up to him. Paul’s crew is on the right track to finding Zenith. And the best news yet, Sylph is pregnant. With that news, the good came crashing down. Rudeus got word from Paul’s crew in search of Zenith. Things were not looking positive and urged Rudeus to send help.

Rudeus comes to the conundrum of leaving his pregnant wife to go on a two-year trek to search and save his mother or stay with Sylph at least until she gives birth. Oof. No one had a right answer for that one. Norn was ready to leave home and go on the mission herself. Even that Man-God Rudeus still talks to in his dreams advised against going to that other continent to save Zenith. In the end, Rudeus is going on this trek with Elinalise. This is the first time Rudeus went against the Man-God’s advice. Thanks to a teleportation circle, that cut down on travel by at least a year. But, this is very taboo and could land Rudeus in extreme trouble. But we’ll probably worry about that on a later story.

Elinalise and Rudeus made it to the desert continent and met up with Paul and his crew. And unlike their previous meeting, Paul and Rudeus were able to get along quite well. Elinalise was even able to put her hatred for Paul to the side. Better do it now since you both are technically related. Paul’s group have hit a lot of snags in searching for Zenith. More recently, it’s been a whole month and Roxy was lost in the labyrinth. This labyrinth is complex with many formidable monsters and teleportation circles. Luckily, the group was able to save Roxy just in the nick of time. Now as for Zenith…

Zenith has been encased in an ice crystal for…honestly, I forget how long. This is surrounded by an over-powered hydra. Paul went in head-first and was quite hard to reason with as he was literally out for blood. That’s his wife up there! It was a very complicated and hard-fought battle as this hydra had nine heads and was able to heal itself fast. This battle pushed everyone to their limits, but they were successful in defeating the hydra. Unscathed…not at all. Rudeus ended up losing his left hand. And Paul split in half.

This episode aired on Father’s Day and we watched Paul die.

I can’t begin to tell you how sick that is…that I snorted at the fact that this aired on Father’s Day.

But, they managed to achieve their main objective. They saved Zenith. There should be solace in that fact, right? Well…

Zenith waking four days after Paul’s death brought back a lot of Berserk memories and what happened to the character Casca. No speech, no memories, nothing! Maybe Rudeus should rethink what he thought about his mother before this revelation. It’s not just Zenith that Rudeus had that mindset with, but Paul too. Rudeus thinks back to his parents from his own time and how there’s so much left unsaid. His original parents died and due to being a shut-in, didn’t claim their bodies, see them one last time, or go to the funeral. This time, he witnesses Paul’s dead body and see that Zenith is going to remain this way permanently.

Before Rudeus goes into full depression mode, that is railroaded by Roxy who comes in, talks to him, and proceeds to have sex with him. Yeah, we’re going down that route. Roxy is not his first true love, but his first bit of lust and perversion. And of course, on the list of people Rudeus has slept with, um, I think Roxy’s the fourth if I remember correctly. I still count Sara. Let’s just say that the apple doesn’t fall far from the Greyrat tree. Now, we’ve come to the conundrum of the moment. Roxy sleeps with Rudeus to help him in his time of need after losing his father, his mother’s memories, and his left hand. It helped that situation, but a bigger problem grows. He’s always loved Roxy, but knows damn-well he has a pregnant wife at home. What will Rudeus do?

Despite Elinalise being Sylph’s grandmother, she’s rooting for the best-case scenario. And what might that be? Rudeus returns home, be’s honest with his wife about what transpired, and ask for Roxy to be his second wife. And it looks like I’m going to have to do a lot of back-tracking on some shit I said in my season one review.

PAUL AND RUDY: As you can see, history is repeating itself. Paul managed to knock-up, not only his wife, but his live-in maid. I screamed holy hell when that happened. Probably because I was jumping in this blind-folded not knowing the whole story between Paul and Lilia. Though, it is still pretty fucked up. Rudeus getting a second wife…I was aware of it due to reading spoilers. And I know more than you would think for someone not reading the light novel. I probably shouldn’t have jumped the gun about having a harem as in this world, as long as you’re not part of a certain religion, it’s okay to take on a second and even third wife. Now, Zenith came from a family that was under that certain religion. But more on all of that possibly in the next season. I am still a little irritated at Paul’s circumstance. Less so now. Rudeus and Roxy…I’m in the middle. I’m just going to sit back and watch what comes of it.

BACK TO THE ENDING: Thanks to the teleportation circles, Rudeus was able to cut this trip to save his mother and Roxy shorter than what was expected. And he was able to return home to find Sylph still pregnant and everything well on her end. Rudeus dropped the news to everyone that while they were able to rescue Zenith, she’s permanently altered and Paul was killed in action. Norn took this harder than anyone else. And then Rudeus decides to talk to his sisters and Sylph about the matter about having a second wife. His sister Norn harshly rejected it and verbally attacked Roxy in the process. Despite the mindset of monogamy, Norn almost forgot the fact that her own father took on two wives. Sylph was actually understanding and was more than willing to accept this change of events.

Life starts to get a little better. Norn started to learn how to handle a sword after given Paul’s sword. Sylph gave birth to her daughter, Lucie. Rudeus was able to give Paul a final resting place. And we are getting a third season!

I’m going to be honest, I think after watching the second half of this season, I forgot a good chunk of what happened at the beginning of this season. Funny how when they split a two-cour series, this sort of thing happens. It just felt like I was watching a totally different thing from a totally different time. Probably because most everything else took place at the school Rudeus attended. I can’t even remember the crew Rudeus was with after he split from Eris. And I bet you can’t either.

The animation is still magnificent. I mean, yes, you can tell there’s a major difference between last and this season. There are different people working on the product, but at least it’s the same studio. And of course, the subject matters that come up that makes it hard to recommend to certain groups of people. Like with season one, there’s still a lot of canceling of Rudeus and Mushoku Tensei as a whole. That’s your call to make. Yes, there’s still a lot of healthy libidos flaunting about (not so much for Rudy in the first 12 episodes). Yes, there’s that thing with slavery. Again, it’s in nearly every Isekai and just not at the degree that it’s at like with Shield Hero.

Well, we’ve got a third season on the horizon to look forward to. Will we see Eris again? Is there a way to help Zenith? Will Rudeus get a fake arm like most of the other anime characters who lost an arm in battle? Don’t look at me, I don’t have the answers.

Mushoku Tensei is available to watch on Crunchyroll in several languages. It’s also currently available on Hulu, Sling TV, and Amazon Prime Video.

Now some might think, " Isn’t there a spirit like this in Lukumi ? ” Yes. There is, He is Ogun an Orisha. One of few Orishas who made it outside of Africa and who has some similarities with Ogou: In Haitian Vodou and Santeria and so on. They both are associated with iron and metal.

The name Ogou is not the same name like in Africa but is actually a title used to describe warriors and they also carry a machete, but some favor a sword. There colors are red and blue, but some Ogous take additional colors like green or khaki.

He is sometimes also represented by Saints Andrew, Martin Caballero, some use Saint Peter and John the Baptist any many others depending on which African diasporic religion you want to practice.

He is the chief of all the warrior paths of Ogun durning the Haitian revolution which gave the colors to the Haitian flag.
