Aemond and Y.N. were nestled comfortably under the covers, their bodies close, savouring the warmth and quiet after their second round of sex.
Aemond’s arm was wrapped protectively around her, and Y.N. rested her head on his chest, her fingers tracing soft circles on his skin. Just as they began to drift into a peaceful silence, there was a knock at the door.
Aemond sighed, kissing the top of her head before reluctantly slipping out of bed. “That’ll be Aegon with Jack,” he muttered, grabbing a pair of sweatpants from the floor and pulling them on.
Y.N. watched him with a soft smile as he padded to the door.
Aemond swung it open to find Aegon standing there, pushing Jack’s pram with one hand and holding Y.N.’s suitcase in the other.
“Why didn’t you just come in?” Aemond asked, stepping aside to let him in. “The door was unlocked.”
Aegon walked in with a shrug. “Well, I didn’t know if you and Y.N. were getting busy in the bedroom or wherever the mood took you and I didn’t think it was appropriate for Jack to be witness to such depraved shenanigans.”
Aemond scoffed, rolling his eye. “This, coming from the guy who once had a threesome with a married couple?”
Aegon shot him a look of mock offense. “In my defence, I didn’t know it was a threesome at first.”
Aemond raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “Still stayed, though, didn’t you?”
Aegon grinned unapologetically. “Hell yeah. The wife was hot. But the husband, he was—"
“That’s enough,” Aemond cut him off sharply, though a hint of amusement tugged at his lips as he reached down to lift Jack from his pram.
Jack gurgled happily, kicking his tiny legs as Aemond cradled him close.
Y.N. appeared in the doorway to the bedroom, dressed in one of Aemond’s t-shirts and a pair of his shorts, looking effortlessly beautiful.
She glanced at the suitcase Aegon had brought in and asked, “Is that my suitcase?”
Aegon nodded, smirking. “Yep. Took the liberty of packing up all your stuff, so you don’t have to go back.”
Y.N. looked slightly surprised. “You packed everything?”
Aegon shrugged again. “Yeah, everything that belonged to you and Jack. The place was bare minimum anyway.”
Y.N. smiled gratefully, brushing off the idea of sorting through her suitcase for the time being.
She stepped over to Aemond and pressed a kiss to Jack’s head, her voice soft. “It’s getting late. Probably a good idea to put him to bed.”
Aemond nodded in agreement, bouncing Jack gently in his arms. “I’ll take care of it.”
As Aemond headed to the nursery, Aegon looked around the penthouse, plopping down on the couch with an exaggerated sigh.
“Hey, can I crash here tonight? I’ll head home in the morning.”
Aemond, now halfway to the nursery, called back, “Sure, you can stay in the spare room.”
Aegon, never missing an opportunity to be his usual self, added, “By the way, if you two are going to get it on at some point tonight, I don’t mind hearing Y.N, but Aemond—needs to keep his voice down? I don’t want to hear his groaning. Makes for one very awkward wank-”
Y.N. burst into laughter. “You’re so gross, Aegon,” she said, shaking her head.
Aegon grinned, completely unfazed. “Yeah, I know. I’ve learned to live with it.”
Tumblr media
The smell of food drifted through the penthouse, stirring Aegon from his sleep. Groggily, he pushed himself out of bed, rubbing a hand over his face before following the delicious aroma to the kitchen.
As he stepped in, he saw Y.N. at the stove, expertly cooking breakfast, and Aemond sitting at the table, cradling Jack in his arms.
Aemond looked up with a smirk. “Good morning, Uncle Eggy.”
Aegon rolled his eyes, plopping down into a chair. “I haven’t been called that in years.”
“Yeah, I know,” Aemond replied, still smirking as he adjusted Jack in his arms, making the baby giggle.
Aegon’s gaze shifted to the stove, his mouth practically watering. “What you cooking, Y.N.?”
Without turning, Y.N. answered, “Bacon, eggs, sausages, hashbrowns, beans, and cheeky bit of fried bread-”
Aegon’s eyes widened in delight. “Oh, please say there’s some for me.”
Y.N. shrugged playfully. “There might be,” she teased as she plated the breakfast and brought it to the table.
Aegon wasted no time, practically inhaling his food, while Aemond deftly managed to eat one-handed, using his fork with one hand and holding Jack with the other.
Y.N. noticed Aemond’s multitasking and offered, “I can take him, you know.”
Aemond shook his head. “No, you finish your breakfast first. I’ve got him.”
Y.N. smiled at the sight of Aemond holding their son so comfortably while Aegon barely came up for air between bites.
“Slow down, Aegon, you’ll give yourself indigestion.”
Aegon groaned, pushing the last bit of sausage into his mouth. “It’s been ages since I had a proper cooked breakfast.”
Aemond smirked as he took another bite. “Maybe if you got up before dinner time, you could cook one for yourself.”
Aegon scoffed, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “Me? Cook? Next joke-”
As they finished breakfast, Aemond passed Jack to Y.N., who happily took him into her arms, cooing softly.
Aemond stood and began clearing the table, tossing a glance at Aegon. “Come on, you can help with the washing up.”
Aegon groaned, leaning back in his chair. “Ugh, really?”
But Aemond shot him a look, and with a heavy sigh, Aegon reluctantly got up to help.
As he half-heartedly rinsed a dish, Aemond grabbed a towel and whipped it at Aegon’s side, earning a yelp.
“Ow! Alright, alright, I’m helping!” Aegon laughed, rubbing his side before going back to work.
Tumblr media
After Aegon had left the penthouse, Y.N. turned to Aemond, her curiosity piqued. "Are you going into work today?"
Aemond shook his head, his gaze soft as he looked at her. "No, I’ve got the day off. I wanted to spend it with you and Jack." He paused, a playful smile tugging at his lips. "But, I do have a surprise for you."
Y.N. raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "A surprise? What is it?"
Aemond chuckled. "If I tell you, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise, would it?"
She pouted, crossing her arms. "That’s not fair."
He leaned in, kissing her gently. "I’m sure you’ll survive. Now go get dressed, and I’ll get Jack ready."
With a teasing roll of her eyes, Y.N. pressed a quick kiss to his lips before heading to the bedroom. Deciding on something comfy but still presentable, she settled on a pair of jeans and a soft sweater.
When she returned, she found Aemond waiting by the door, Jack securely strapped into his car seat, his little feet kicking in excitement.
Aemond grinned at her. "Ready? Let’s get going."
Y.N. followed him out to the car, watching as Aemond made sure Jack was secure before getting in himself.
They drove out of the city, the familiar high-rises and busy streets giving way to rolling hills and tranquil greenery.
After about twenty minutes, they pulled up to a beautiful, small manor nestled among trees and gardens—not as grand as Targaryen Manor, but stunning in its own right.
Y.N. got out of the car, looking around in awe. "What are we doing here?"
Aemond came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist as he rested his chin on her shoulder. "This," he whispered, "is our new home."
Y.N. gasped, turning in his arms to look at him. "What? Really?"
He nodded, his gaze full of warmth. "Do you like it?"
"It’s beautiful," she breathed, her eyes wide as she took in the surroundings. "But-what about the penthouse?"
Aemond sighed softly, his hand gently caressing her back. "As much as I like living there, it’s not exactly ideal for a family. And after everything with Alys, I want a fresh start. For all of us."
With Jack in his arms, Aemond guided her to the front door, unlocking it and stepping inside. Y.N. gasped again as she entered, the interior even more breathtaking than the outside—old-fashioned yet elegant, with tasteful decor and large, sunlit rooms.
Every detail seemed carefully chosen, full of charm and warmth.
"What do you think?" Aemond asked, watching her intently.
"It’s amazing," Y.N. said, her voice soft with wonder as she moved through the house. She admired the spacious rooms, imagining how perfect they’d be for their growing family.
Aemond led her to the back garden, showing her the lush greenery and wide-open space.
"Just imagine," Aemond said, his voice full of hope. "We could have a little slide and a swing set for Jack when he gets older. He could have all this room to play."
Y.N. smiled, picturing their son running through the grass, and felt a warm surge of happiness.
Aemond wasn’t done yet, though. He took her hand, leading her to a building situated behind the garage. Unlocking the door, he stepped aside, letting her see the large, open space inside.
"I thought this could be your restoration workshop," he said, his voice tinged with excitement. "It’s plenty big enough, and it can be a step towards opening your own business."
Y.N. felt tears spring to her eyes, her heart overflowing with emotion. She hadn’t expected something like this.
The gesture was so thoughtful, so perfect. She covered her face as the tears flowed, overwhelmed by how much Aemond had considered her dreams.
Aemond’s face turned to panic. "I—I’m sorry. Did I do something wrong?"
She shook her head, reaching out to wrap her arms around him as Jack gurgled between them. "No, no-I’m crying because it’s so wonderful."
Aemond smiled in relief, his own eye softening as he pulled her close. "I just want you to be happy."
"I am," she whispered, pressing a kiss to his chest. "I really am."
Tumblr media
As they stood in the spacious workshop, Y.N. looked up at Aemond, her heart still racing from the surprise. "How long have you been planning this?"
Aemond smiled, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. "A few weeks. I was going to surprise you, but then-everything with Alys happened, and I thought I’d lost you."
Y.N. took his hand, squeezing it gently. "Let’s put all that behind us and look to the future. We’ve come through it, and now we have so much to look forward to."
Aemond nodded, his expression softening. "You're right." He paused for a moment, then asked, "So, when do you want to move in?"
Y.N. smiled, feeling excited at the thought. "Whenever you’re ready."
He glanced around the house, thinking for a moment. "I want to get some people in to give the place a good clean. It's been stood empty for a while. How about in two weeks?"
"Two weeks sounds perfect," Y.N. agreed, already imagining making this place their home.
Aemond grinned, relieved that everything was falling into place. "Now that’s sorted, I can tell Aegon the good news."
Y.N. tilted her head, curious. "What do you mean?"
"Aegon wants the penthouse," Aemond explained with a chuckle. "As much as he enjoys living with Daeron, he wants his own space. So, I told him if this move worked out, he could live there."
Y.N. laughed, shaking her head. "He’s going to be overjoyed."
Aemond smirked, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Yeah, until he sees how much rent I’m going to charge him."
She playfully swatted his arm. "You wouldn’t!"
"Why not?" Aemond raised an eyebrow. "I own the penthouse outright. I’m not going to sell it, so renting it to Aegon makes sense."
"But it’s Aegon," Y.N. teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "He doesn’t even have a job."
Aemond chuckled. "Actually, he does. He owns The Dragon’s Den."
Y.N.’s mouth dropped open. "Of course, Aegon would own a club. Now it makes sense when you said you knew the owner."
"Yeah, he hasn’t always owned it-" Aemond explained. "-it’s a more recent purchase, but if anyone can make it work, it’s Aegon. He’s always been good at organizing parties."
Y.N. laughed, shaking her head. "That is so Aegon."
Aemond smiled softly, pulling her closer. "Yeah, it’s perfect for him”.
Tumblr media
The last game night at the penthouse was filled with warmth and laughter as Y.N., Aemond, Aegon, Daeron, and Helaena gathered around the table.
Daeron dealt the cards while Aegon leaned back in his chair, stretching.
“How many moving boxes do you even need?” Aegon asked, raising an eyebrow.
Y.N. smirked, playfully nudging Aemond. “Oh, those are just for Aemond’s hair products.”
Aemond frowned, trying to suppress a smile. “Hey, I don’t use that many.”
Aegon laughed loudly. “Sod off! I remember when you were living at the manor, and you had a special cupboard for all your hair stuff.”
Aemond scoffed, crossing his arms. “It wasn’t a special cupboard.”
Helaena giggled, chiming in, “Yes, it was. It had a lock on it and everything. No one was allowed to touch it.”
Daeron leaned forward, eyes sparkling with mischief. “Oh, do you remember when Aegon picked the lock and poured your scented hair oil out? Replaced it with vodka?”
Aemond’s lips pressed into a thin line as he muttered, “It wasn’t funny. People thought I had a drinking problem for about a week because I smelled like a brewery.”
Aegon grinned proudly. “It was rather funny.”
“For you, maybe,” Aemond shot back, rolling his eye.
Y.N. laughed softly, squeezing Aemond’s hand. “How come you didn’t notice when you were putting it on your hair?”
Aemond sighed, his pride slightly wounded. “Turns out it was scented vodka.”
Y.N. burst out laughing. Aegon pointed triumphantly at her. “See! Told you it was funny.”
Before they could continue, the sound of Jack crying echoed from the other room. Y.N. stood up and pointed at the group. “No looking at my cards, you damn cheaters.”
Aegon scoffed as she left. “The nerve to call us cheaters when she’s the one who always wins at poker. Always wins, my arse.”
Helaena shrugged, grinning. “No, it’s just because you suck, Aegon.”
Y.N. reappeared at the door, a question on her lips. “Aemond, where’s Jack’s stuffed dragon teddy?”
Aemond thought for a moment. “In the box labelled Jack’s room. Is he okay?”
Y.N. nodded. “He’s just a bit unsettled. I think he needs his snuggies with his teddy.” She disappeared again to tend to Jack.
Just then, a knock came at the door, and Aegon cheered, “Food’s here, finally! I’m starving.”
Aemond and Helaena helped dish up the Chinese takeout while Y.N. returned to the room a few moments later.
Aemond handed her a plate. “Jack okay?”
Y.N. smiled as she sat down. “Yeah. He’s asleep now.”
As she started to eat, Aegon made a move toward her plate, reaching for a piece of prawn toast. Y.N. held up her fork threateningly. “Touch my food, feel my fork.”
Aegon groaned, dramatically leaning back in his chair. “Not this again. Don’t be tight—share!”
Y.N. grinned, teasing him. “I’ll swap you one of my prawn toasts for one of your spring rolls.”
Aegon scowled. “They’re my favourites!”
“And prawn toast is my favourite,” Y.N. replied, biting into one.
With a defeated sigh, Aegon pushed a spring roll her way. “Fine. Take one, just hand over the toast, woman.”
Y.N. handed him the prawn toast, smirking in victory.
As they settled into their meal, Helaena asked, “Do you have everything sorted at your new place?”
Aemond nodded. “Yes, I was there yesterday overseeing a furniture delivery.”
Helaena smiled. “So, you’re not taking any of the furniture from here?”
“No,” Aemond said, shaking his head. “It doesn’t fit with the older style of the manor. We want to preserve the traditional feel, so we’re just taking our personal possessions.”
“I love that you’re keeping the traditional style,” Helaena said, clearly excited. “None of that modern trend.”
“I’m not really into the modern look either,” Y.N. agreed. “I think it takes away a place’s character.”
As they finished their meal, Y.N. and Helaena got up to clear the plates and load the dishwasher.
Y.N. glanced over her shoulder at Aemond, who was laughing with his brothers. The sound of his deep laughter filled the room, a rare and heartwarming sound.
Helaena, standing beside her, smiled softly. “This is the happiest I’ve ever seen Aemond.”
“Really?” Y.N. asked, her heart swelling with affection.
Helaena nodded. “It’s nice to see him smile like this.” Turning to Y.N., she added, “Thank you for loving him the way he deserves.”
Y.N.’s eyes glistened as she smiled back at Helaena, feeling a warmth in her chest. "He deserves the world."
Tumblr media
After Helaena, Daeron, and Aegon had left, a calm settled over the penthouse. Y.N. stretched and smiled, feeling content after the evening spent with Aemond’s siblings. “I think I’m going to have a bath,” she said,
Aemond, already seated on the sofa with a glass of whiskey, nodded, his gaze soft and appreciative as he watched her. “Enjoy,” he said, swirling the amber liquid in his glass.
Upstairs, Y.N. entered the bathroom, the faint scent of roses already wafting through the air as she poured a generous amount of rose-scented bubble bath into the filling tub.
The soothing fragrance wrapped around her as steam rose from the water. She pinned her hair up, undressed, and slipped into the tub, sighing in pure bliss as the warmth enveloped her.
The soft bubbles floated around her, and the tension of the day melted away with each passing second.
After washing herself, a mischievous thought entered her mind. A small smirk played on her lips as she called out, “Aemond?”
A few moments later, the bathroom door creaked open, and Aemond stepped in, a curious expression on his face. “You called?” he asked, his voice low and smooth.
Y.N. looked up at him through her lashes, her smile playful. “I did. I was hoping you could give me a kiss.”
Aemond chuckled, his lips curving into a smile. He set down his glass and walked over to her, kneeling next to the tub. His eye softened as he leaned closer, as he reached out, brushing a few stray bubbles off her shoulder, and pressed a tender kiss to her lips.
The warmth of the bath, mixed with the heat of his kiss, made her heart race. Y.N. smiled against his lips, pulling back just enough to whisper, "Thank you."
Aemond lingered close, his gaze flicking between her eyes and lips, his voice low and teasing. "That all you wanted?"
Y.N. smiled up at Aemond, her eyes glimmering with mischief as she leaned a little closer, her lips just inches from his.
“No,” she whispered, her voice soft yet laced with desire. “That’s not all I wanted.”
Aemond raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "Oh?" His voice was low, the playful challenge clear. "And what else do you want?"
Instead of answering with words, Y.N. leaned forward, her hand sliding up to cup the back of his neck.
She pulled him closer and kissed him deeply, passionately. The warmth of her lips sent a jolt of heat through him as he responded instantly, his hand moving to gently cradle her face as he kissed her back with equal fervour.
“Y.N” exclaimed Aemond his singular eye dilated.
“I want you to fuck me in this bath-”.
Aemond smiled, of course had absolutely no problem with that.
Standing up, he quickly pulled off his clothes, his cock already half hard.
He took a step towards the bath, but Y.N stopped him with a hand on his pale thigh.
Looking up at Aemond’s face, she licked her lips and moved her hand from his thigh to wrap around his cock.
Stroking it, she licked around the head with her tongue, teasing and tasting his slit.
Aemond drew in his breath at her touch. Y.N opened her mouth and engulfed the head, sucking it into her wet heat.
Aemond hissed with each stroke of her hand, she pulled inch after inch of his cock into her mouth.
Her tongue brushed the underside of his shaft as she leisurely fucked his cock with her mouth.
Her hand slid smoothly along his wet length with firm, deliberate strokes –
“N-No m-more” muttered Aemond, quickly stepping free.
Y.N looked at him silently, with her wet lips barely parted.
Her large eyes locked with his and Aemond faltered slightly. It was truly amazing how she could bring him to his knees without even saying a word.
“You want me to fuck you hard?” asked Aemond as he pulled off his eyepatch, the sapphire nestled in his socket glittering.
“Yes” whispered Y.N as she slowly licked her lips and swallowed.
Aemond closed his eye for a brief moment and took a deep breath before he slid into the warm water.
Slowly he moved towards her until his body hovered over hers.
“Promise me you'll use the safe word if it gets too much” murmured Aemond.
Y.N trembled from the intensity of his tone.
“I don't need a safe word. I said want you to fuck me hard, and I meant it-”
“Promise me that you'll tell me if it's too much” said Aemond.
Y.N squeezed her thighs together, trying desperately to stimulate her clitoris. She was certain she'd never been this turned on before.
“Yes. Aemond” replied Y.N.
Aemond’s smile was cold.
“Good” said Aemond as his hand closed around her throat, and with his thumb he pushed her chin up to meet his commanding kiss.
After stealing Y.N’s kiss and breath from her body, Aemond let her go and moved to the opposite end of the oversized bath. The water slipped and sloshed over the edges.
Aemond lay against the bath's edge, hooking his arms around it lazily. His gaze was hooded.
“Now. Suck my cock”.
Swallowing, Y.N headed over to him, bracing herself against the bath's sides. She saw his impressive erection through the water, magnified to a daunting size.
But Aemond didn't raise his hips.
“Now” ordered Aemond, his tone gave little room for argument.
Y.N took a deep breath and slid under the water, gripping his erection a little harder than she would ordinarily have dared.
Aemond didn't move.
Y.N put her lips to his head then quickly pulled his cock into her mouth, forming a tight seal so water didn’t enter.
Stroking his shaft firmly, she moved up and down, swallowing his head and as much of his length as she could, sucking hard.
Y.N’s hearing was somewhat clouded by the surrounding water.
So she didn't hear Aemond’s sharp intake of breath, and she couldn't see how he tilted his head back, eye closed against the glorious streaks of pleasure coursing through his body.
Aemond couldn't remember the last time he was this hard.
Y.N’s head broke clear of the water, she gasped for breath and pushed her streaming-wet hair back over her head.
Aemond looked at her with the same cool expression he'd had since he kissed her.
“Again” ordered Aemond sternly.
Chest heaving, Y.N stared at him. His eye: normally cool and blue, now burned with an intensity she’d never seen before.
She slid beneath the water again, making her way to his almost-pulsing erection.
After her third descent, eyes closed against the water, Y.N felt an elegant hand descend on her head – and lock her head in place. Her mouth full of Aemond.
Drawing her fingers around his balls, she couldn't resist the temptation to pinch them – and was rewarded with his fingers clutching her head in instinctive response.
Y.N sucked Aemond’s cock until she felt her cheeks bulge and her lungs burn. She felt light-headed. Yet still he kept her head underwater. Her heart pounded from exhilaration and fear.
How long would he force her?
But Aemond’s grip on her head suddenly loosened and she surged up, water heaving out of the bath, drawing great amounts of air into her starved body.
Disoriented and dizzy, her body swayed dangerously as Aemond pressed her to lay back against the cool edge of the bath and hooked his arms around her thighs, lifting her lower half out of the water, his mouth descending on her cunny.
Ravenously, he pressed into her core with his tongue, in and out, much faster than his cock ever could. Still gasping, Y.N clutched at his head with one hand, her other hand scrabbled for purchase slippery edge of the bath tub.
Aemond withdrew from her soaking wet core and lashed hard at her clitoris with his tongue, pulling on it with his lips.
He was hard, fast and brutal, alternating between her assaulted bundle of nerves and drinking deep from her cunt.
Y.N ground down on Aemond, hard; his tongue speared deeper inside her, and she felt the warm curl of her peak approach.
Aemond growled, deep in his throat; the vibration of his vocal cords rippled through to his tongue and Y.N gasped; she felt every vibration keenly. Her body tensed for her peak–
But Aemond pushed her off him.
Starved of her release, Y.N shrieked in vexation – then her breath left her body as he shoved her against the edge of the bath.
Breathing hard, Aemond pushed her hair away from her face – then he held her face in his hands and kissed her, drawing her breath from her once more as she tasted the salt-sweetness of her body on his lips and tongue.
Aemond pulled away, just far enough to capture her stare.
“You had enough?” rasped Aemond.
“Not even close. Do your worst. I can take it” challenged Y.N.
A spark briefly ignited Aemond’s gaze, and before she could speak again, his hand pressed against her throat, cutting off her air once more.
“You really want it?” asked Aemond. He let her nod; once, twice.
Aemond removed his hand, and Y.N gasped for breath again, howling in need as he suddenly slid two long fingers into her cunt and speared them in and out of her at a brutal pace.
His palm bumped against her clit with each hard thrust. In the space of a second, Y.N’s peak came reappeared.
Gods, she needed it, she needed it so bad.
Aemond’s lips were at her ear, whispered harshly. “I can feel your body, love. Your cunny’s clutching my fingers. You're desperate for it, aren't you?”
“Y-Yes” gasped Y.N, closing her eyes and focussing on the swirling sensation building in her pelvis.
“Is that a fact?” Aemond taunted with his beautiful mouth, his tongue licking at her earlobe Y.N didn't think it was possible, but he sped his fingers up, and she knew she would gush all over his hand, in the bath, down her legs – and she didn't care, it felt so fucking good.
“Aemond!” gasped Y.N, writhing against him, yet he pulled his fingers out of her body and moved away.
“FUCK!” screamed Y.N in frustration.
The corner of Aemond’s mouth tilted, looking her slowly up and down as he began to stroke himself.
“You don't come until I say you can. If I say you can”
Frustrated almost beyond sanity, Y.N closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
“Enough?” asked Aemond smirking.
Y.N raised her head and glared at him defiantly.
“Not even close”
Aemond acknowledged her response with a circling motion of his index finger.
Y.N obeyed and spun around, staring at the wall of the bathroom. She couldn't see but she heard Aemond move behind her.
Her heart began to pound with anticipation.
“Good” replied Aemond, as he smacked her luscious buttocks with his open hand.
The sting of his hand on her flesh took Y.N by surprise, and she gasped before yelping. Heat bloomed over her assaulted backside.
Ignoring her, Aemond delivered spank after spank to her bottom, never landing on the same place twice.
“Say the safe word” snarled Aemond, still not letting up.
“NO” cried Y.N, trying to stimulate her neglected clitoris between the top of her thighs.
She would not give in. She would not back down. She asked for her fiancé  to do his worst and fuck her hard and she meant every fucking word.
Instantly, his lips were at her ear again.
“Liking it are you” taunted Aemond.
“Please fuck me” whispered Y.N against the bath.
“Oh, like this?” asked Aemond, and a second later his hard length filled her cunny in one smooth stroke.
“God. Yes. Aemond” moaned Y.N.
He began to move in and out of her in a series of deep measured thrusts.
“Your cunt is dripping, it's so beautiful” sighed Aemond, as he began to fuck her faster.
Y.N bit her lip hard. She didn't want to let him know how close she was to release.
“Bet you're wondering when I'm going to let you come.” said Aemond.
Y.N moaned in the affirmative, and he slowed down. She heard the slick sound of their flesh connecting over the sloshing water in the bath.
“Not like this, that's for sure” said Aemond as he withdrew.
Y.N whined desperately.
“But since you've been a very good girl, I'll tell you, if you like?”
“Y-Yes. P-Please” moaned Y.N, her legs shaking.
Aemond laid a gentle kiss between her shoulder blades.
“You, my dear, are going to come with my cock shoved right inside your gorgeous arse”
Before Y.N could react, Aemond spat generously in his hand and spread it over his finger and around the entry to her arse. She felt his finger on her little rosette, and it felt so naughty, it was good.
“Yes, or no?” asked Aemond
Y.N didn't even have to think twice.
“Yes, Aemond” moaned Y.N as Aemond slowly inserted his finger into her body.
He worked in silence for a while, easing his finger in and out of her arse until she could take it easily.
Pulling out, he added a second finger and brushed both around her hole.
“Yes, or no?” Aemond asked again...
“Aemond. I want you take my arse and fuck it until I scream out your name. I need to come, please. Do not deprive me any longer” begged Y.N.
Aemond let out a breath of air, but no words. Silently, he breached her arse once more.
Y.N screamed, and Aemond panicked. He started to back his fingers out, but she begged “No, no, oh god it feels so fucking good I can barely stand it”.
Aemond continued to work his way into her tight space. When his fingers were fully inside her, he put his lips to her ear again.
“I'm going to take your arse” whispered Aemond, pumping his fingers slowly in and out.
“Yes” gasped Y.N as she pushed against Aemond’s slender talented finger’s.
“I'm going to breach your arse with my cock and fill you all the way up. It's going to feel so good, love, I can't wait to feel you come”
Y.N’s teeth were gritted, and she grunted low in her throat each time his fingers surged in.
“Yes” moaned Y.N loudly. Aemond slapped her buttock, and she wailed again.
“Yes, what?”
“Yes, sir” moaned Y.N. She was pushing back against his hand, so he spread his fingers inside her, accommodating her to his size.
At last, she was ready for him.
Aemond reached over to the small cabinet next to the bath, praying the contents hadn’t been packed already and he let out a joyful cheer when his fingers closed around the bottle of lubricant.
Aemond bent her over, so her hands gripped the edge of the bath with her legs open for him. Lubricating his cock, he almost salivated at the sight she made. Y.N’s cunny was plump and glossy.
So very tempting, but he was after another prize tonight.
Aemond pressed the head of his cock to the entrance of her arse, and Y.N moaned in need, he pushed through her entrance and past her sphincter muscle, swearing loudly as it gripped him unbelievably tight.
“Oh gods. Oh yes” moaned Y.N, flinging her head back. Aemond eased himself slowly and smoothly into her tight anal passage, trying not to pass out from the sheer fucking bliss of it.  
Eventually, Y.N took his entire cock.
“Come with me Aemond. I want to come when you come”
Aemond withdrew a little and surged inside again. Over and over, he did this withdrawing further each time, until his cock entirely withdrew from her now-widened entrance.
He marvelled at her body. Such a beautiful, succulent thing his fiancée was. Allowing him entry into the most sacred parts of her body.
Aemond began to fuck her in earnest, plunging his cock into her arse over and over, thrilling to hear Y.N’s moans of need. Bracing her arms, she pushed against him so he could shove his cock in.
Harder and faster.
Aemond felt his balls draw in; his peak was approaching. He snaked a hand around Y.N’s body and played with her clitoris, rubbing it with his fingers.
“Oh gods” moaned Y.N as her whole body shook.
“Come for me, love” breathed Aemond, his thrusts starting to jerk.
He was close. So close.
Y.N screamed as her desperately-needed peak exploded from her body, making every limb tremble as her body clenched around Aemond’s cock.
Aemond’s own peak nearly took him off his feet. The sensation took over his body as he spilled rope after rope of his seed, he had no recollection of what he did or said for the good minute it took for his peak to crest, then subside.
He had never come so hard in his life.
Breathing hard, Aemond gently pulled out and enveloped Y.N’s shaking limbs into a tight hug.
“I-I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
“Not at all” replied Y.N quietly as she slowly descended down into the cool bath water.
Tumblr media
Aemond stood in the street, the keys dangling from his hand as he stared at Aegon. "Alright, here you go," he said, handing them over.
Aegon accepted them with a gleeful grin, twirling them around his finger.
"Don't forget," Aemond warned, narrowing his eye at his brother, "I still own this place, and I won't have you trash it."
Aegon raised his hands in mock innocence. "Would I ever?"
Aemond crossed his arms. "No wild parties, no orgies, no drugs, and absolutely no ritual animal slaughters of any kind—wow god I’m giving him ideas”
Aegon chuckled, shaking his head. "First of all, ritual animal slaughters? What the actual hell, Aemond? And are you sure about the orgies? Because—"
"Absolutely no orgies!" Aemond cut him off, exasperated. "I still have PTSD from walking in on you and those three girls back when we lived at home."
Aegon’s eyes twinkled as he remembered. "Oh, that was something else. And I did invite you to join, as I recall. You’re the one who declined."
"You’re damn right I did," Aemond muttered, shuddering. "I didn’t even know any of those girls, and I definitely didn’t want to see your bare arse."
At that moment, Y.N. appeared next to Aemond, catching the tail end of the conversation. "What’s this about Aegon’s bare arse?" she asked, amused, her eyebrows raised.
Aegon huffed dramatically. "He said I can’t have orgies," he replied, pouting like a child being denied a treat.
Y.N. shot Aemond a sympathetic look. "Well, that's understandable," she said. "But, wait—how do you even manage to have an orgy?"
Aegon grinned devilishly. "Oh, it can be exhausting," he said with a wink, "but I am very generous. Everyone gets a turn, and I’m not selfish either. In fact, why don’t—"
Aemond groaned, cutting him off. "That's enough of your depravity."
"You're such a spoil sport," Aegon muttered under his breath, though the smile never left his face.
Y.N. chuckled as she looked at Aemond. "Jack’s all strapped into the car, and everything’s ready."
Aemond gave the penthouse one last lingering look, his gaze softening for just a moment. Y.N. noticed and asked gently, "You alright?"
"Yeah," Aemond replied, nodding. "Just-saying goodbye to this place."
Y.N. smiled, understanding, and got into the car. Aemond turned to Aegon one last time, his face serious. "Remember what I said, Aegon, or I’ll kick your arse."
Aegon grinned, clearly not taking the threat too seriously. "I’ll be good," he promised, waving them off as they headed down to the car.
Aegon stood watching Aemond climb into the driver’s seat. He waved at Y.N., who waved back, and he watched as they drove away, followed closely by the moving van.
As the car disappeared from view, Aegon turned back to the penthouse, keys in hand, and grinned. "Well, guess it’s time to break this place in."

Have we discussed Roman’s separated wife hooking up with Bruce Wayne? You and Bruce have always been cordial, so when Roman doxxes you, Bruce lets you stay at the Manor and cry on his shoulder until the wine bottle is empty. He’s so nice and his hand is so warm on your cheek and oh Lord, it’s bigger than your face and you can’t remember the last time you felt safe while a man was touching you. You try to make a move, but Bruce knows he’s overindulged you (partially to get info about Roman but he’ll feel guilty about it later), so he stops you…but promises he’ll be more than ready and willing when you’re in your right mind and decide you still want this. You wait anxiously the entirety of the next day, until Bruce shows up at your door in the sluttiest t-shirt and sweatpants you’ve ever seen, his ginormous hand finding its place on your face again while the other one is slipping under the hem of your shirt.
Slutty top? You've hit a nerve anon, cause now all I'm thinking about is Brucie in a slutty little crop top, like sir put that washboard away before I bite it! Honestly, feral for anyone of any shape and size in a crop top, just show me your belly, please. Yeah, that would work on me.
But to answer your question, no we have not discussed this but we certainly can!!!!
Tumblr media
Like, I can say earnestly, when he invited you to stay with him, sleeping with you did not cross his mind; he was purely thinking about;
Helping you get out of a bad situation
Good for the Brucie Wayne image (so long as the press don't get wind of it until you've found somewhere permanent to move too)
(as mentioned) Chance to get info on Black Mask
But the moment you flash that perfectly poised smile, even though you’re clearly on the brink of tears, he's thinking ‘Uh oh. I'm in trouble.’
He never thought much of you while you were with Roman, if maybe a little bit sorry for you. The extent of your relationship was occasional networking with Bruce at events, and Batman peeking through your windows at night to check on you when Roman was at his worst or imprisoned.
It helps that he thought you were pretty.
But now, as he's getting to know you on a personal level, seeing that you're stronger than he'd thought, and smarter. You're letting down walls and actually relaxing, and in his domain at that! It stirs something within him.
And for you, like Roman and Bruce are the same age, from similar backgrounds, similar personas for the public (charming and rich) but it's crazy to see how different they really are.
When you talk, Bruce isn't just waiting for his turn to speak, he listens.
There's no coercion when you set a boundary, he just respects it. Which funnily enough makes you more willing to share. He's just so easy to trust.
When you ask about interesting pieces around his house, he doesn't brag about where it's from and what it costs. Instead, he tells you stories about his parents or his kids interacting with it.
He's funny, and respectful, not at all what you'd expected.
And did you mention handsome? Oh, he's very handsome. That dark hair and those blue eyes. The chiselled jaw and the dimples and he smells good too, you find that out after you bury your nose into his chest while he's carrying you to bed that first night. You're tipsy, and his house is a maze, he's just trying to help and not at all showing off his strength.
The same way he's just dressed so casually the following day when he comes to find you, this is what he always lounges around. He's totally not subtly flexing his glamour muscles as you open the door.
Now, Roman is by no means bad in bed. He's just, shall we say, selfish? He has a set way in life and sex that he expects you to live up to.
Bruce though? He's a giver. He can take, when appropriate, but right now, he knows what you need.
You need those big hands on your waist as he chases you into the bed with his mouth. You need them soothing your tired body, massaging all the stress out of your aching body. You need his thumb to rub circles into your inner thighs while he kisses, and sucks, and laps at your hot, wet sex. You need his long hard fingers pumping into that sweet little hole, again and again until you cum all over them.
And that is just the start.
But you know one other really important thing you need? Some goddamn aftercare.
He knows it straight away, shouldn’t have been surprised. But when your body immediately falls limp after he rolls off of you, when you look at him confused as he asks if you need anything he knows your life has been lacking kindness for so long that you barely even recognise when it's extended to you.
He's not good at the emotional stuff, at comforting words but he reasons that you probably don't need to hear it right now. Don't need to be reminded of your mistakes, of your past.
Instead, he pulls you into him, wrapping his warmth around you like a giant weighted blanket. Holding you until you accept his affection and melt into his arms.
Meanwhile, the False Facers can't breach Bruces security, can't get a good look into the Manor. Which means they don't know what you're doing there. But they know you're there, and that means Roman knows you're there.
And Romans not stupid, you sneaky, no good, selfish whore.
He gave you everything, and this is how you repay him? You nasty little bitch. And with Bruce Wayne of all people?
Don't get comfy, because the moment you step outside those gates, the second you let your walls down, he's going to rock your shit. You're going to pay for all the crap you've put him through, tenfold.

how does one manage when there's no feedback, no engagement, no... anything? the last few things i've published have gotten zero. it's frustrating. it's discouraging.
Getting No Feedback/Engagement
It's frustrating when you put your work out there and don't get any engagement or feedback. However, what to do about it (if anything at all) depends on how you're publishing and what you want the feedback for.
Whether you're publishing books/e-books or publishing online via your blog or a fiction-sharing site like AO3, it's never a good idea to rely on reader comments for feedback to help you improve your writing. If you want feedback for improvement, it's best to utilize alpha and beta readers, critique groups, critique partners, and feedback exchanges with other writers.
If you want the feedback an engagement because you want to know that someone is enjoying your work, or because you want to make sure you're building a following, you'll need to spend some time learning how to build an audience on the platform you're using. It's so important to remember that there are over 6 million registered users on AO3, for example, and over 11 million stories. Kindle Direct Publishing on Amazon hosts a couple million authors, with millions of books being sold each year. Tumblr has 135 million active users with 21 million new posts created each day. So, you no matter where you're publishing your stories, there is an unimaginable amount of competition. Unfortunately, you can't just post your stories and expect people to flock to them. That's why it's so important to learn how to build an audience on the particular platforms you're publishing on, and then you'll want to learn how to utilize social media to help get your work out there. For example, if you publish on a fiction-sharing site or your blog, you'll want to make sure you're using all the right tags and other metrics to draw people to your story. It's also extremely important that you support and engage with other writers... read and comment on their stories, boost them when appropriate. You might also consider starting a social media page specifically to find more readers. For example, let's say you write Supernatural fic and post it to AO3. You might make an Instagram page for your fiction, post SPN related memes and content, and update potential readers when new stories go up. Again, symbiosis is super important. If you don't engage with others, they won't engage with you.
If you're publishing books/e-books, you'll want to spend some time learning the best ways to promote your books, which will include things like figuring out who your audience is and where to find them, learning the proper tags, figuring out what kind of advertising speaks to them most, and learning to create promotional images and videos.
No matter what, it's really a matter of taking the time to get your work out there and find your audience. Because regardless of where you publish, they're unlikely to find you if you don't do the work to find them first.
Best of luck! ♥

I'm back with episode 4 of Peaceful Property and our boys are starting to be quite solid, so let's go!
1
They're not fighting anymore this week (although I suspect they might bring that back next week when things get personal for Peach) but they're still doing their good old couple bickering.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I wish to personally congratulate whomever came up with this line. It's perfect.)
2
Pangpang's commenters are also still shipping, though they were mostly preoccupied with criticizing her and the government, this week.
Tumblr media
3
They keep just being around each other. Sitting closer than neccessary, standing closer than neccessary.
Tumblr media
They clearly find comfort in each others presence and constantly seek it out, sticking together for large parts of this episode.
Tumblr media
They were this close to cuddling on that couch while the others were doing their own stuff. (And Home is truely not disproving the bi allegations with the way he's sitting? here)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even when Peach cooks, Home, instead of helping/bothering the others is, of course, sticking with Peach (and racking up the ghost's energy bill)
Tumblr media
4
Peach laughs at Home's stupid joke. That's like THE ultimate sign of a crush (or so I'm told).
Tumblr media
5
In general they're so touchy this episode.
Starting off by holding hands when running from the alledged ghost.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Btw, can we talk about the way Home looks at Peach here, because damn)
And after Peach injuries his ankle they get even touchier. Home is immediately the one who keeps carrying Peach around but even when he's not doing that they've got their hands on each other,
Tumblr media
he's got a hand on Peach's back,
Tumblr media
or an arm around his shoulder.
Tumblr media
Through all of it Home's so gentle with Peach. Very sweet.
(And don't think I didn't catch your hand when you were checking on Peach ('s peach), Home!)
Tumblr media
6
Discussing Pangpang's recent behavioural changes while casually fighting over a blanket. It seems they have taken her comment about them being the parents to heart. Also Home is the one who brings it up which goes to show that he's really been paying attention, trying to learn about his new companions just like shady uncle told him to in ep 2.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Appropriately, their fight ends with them sharing the blanket, so.
7
They're both so protective of the other this episode.
Peach especially. He's so far been mostly cowering behind his sister or Home, but this episode he kind of takes on the role of protector. He is, after all the only one who has experience seeing ghosts, so now that the other three are seeing a "ghost" for the first time and are quite distressed by it, he steps up to take charge of the group. Deciding when to leave situations and making sure everyone's safe. Notably he physically pulls Home (and only Home) along to run away TWICE this episode. The first time in the aforementiond hand holding moment and the second time when they run away, shortly before the shelf incident.
Tumblr media
Home gets his turn to be protective after Peach gets hurt. I've already discussed how he immediately takes it upon himself to carry Peach around and sticks to his side for the rest of the night, but he's also not about to just let it go that Mr. Magician hurt his man, even after he tells them his (admittedly very sad, even my reservations about Foei couldn't stop me from shedding a couple of tears) sob-story.
Tumblr media
(Sure Home, "friend")
8
Peach has become somewhat of a chaotic-rich-boy handler.
Tumblr media
They're functioning as a team now, complementing each other and Peach is here to bring the level-headedness when Home get's a little too worked up. Cause if Home is going to listen to anyone, it's Peach.
Tumblr media
9
They have achieved the crucial step in relationship closeness of nonverbal communication.
Tumblr media
(this is admittedly where still images can't fully capture my point but trust me bro, it's happening) (also admittedly, there's no exclusivity here. Some nonverbal communication is happening between many constellations of their team this episode, showing that they've all gotten closer. But it's an important milestone in their relationship nontheless so I'm bringing it up)
10
Home notices Peach shaking when cooking and he's worried about him. (He had already witnessed the shaking last episode when Peach was making noodles in their office so he knows it's a pattern and not a one-time thing) It is in fact his biggest worry right now, as we find out when he's talking to Kan on the phone, and Suradech in the bath for some reason.
Tumblr media
Speaking of that scene, he does get a little flirty with Kan over the call but even he admit's he's joking.
Tumblr media
What he's not joking about is that he's happy that their group has clicked and from what we see this episode and the fact that he goes immediately back to worrying about him, I think it's safe to say he's mostly thinking about Peach when he says this.
Tumblr media
In the first place, there was never really any major problem between anyone else, so it truely is this newfound closeness between Home and Peach that brings harmony to their little family.
11
Of course, while her brother and Home are off in their own world, Pangpang sticks with Kan. She is unfortunately a little too busy with her own insecurities to get much flirting done this week, but you can't convince me she wasn't a little turned on by Kan when she threatened to sue the "ghost".
Tumblr media
12
Again, this week we leave the episode with a little nugget of extra Home and Peach sitting very close, bickering and flirting in the credits.
Tumblr media
TayNew's chemistry is coming through in full force in these moments. I'm half convinced the director told them to just be themselves when they filmed the end credit bits.

judas kiss
#i'm kidding (maybe) but valentino wouldn't be (perhaps)#it is a kiss btw sete makes the appropriate sound effect and everything. very sweet very wholesome very gracious loser tm#//#brr brr#he makes for such a good foil because he's also so... idk image conscious but rather than use it he tends to get in his own way#complete contrast in their later narrativisation because they both identify a different turning point in their rivalry#(and for MY money they're BOTH overshooting by a few races)#and both make it about unsportsmanlike conduct from the other party. thing is they couldn't have reacted more differently#vale has a tendency with some rivals to play down how central they were to his career and it's not a coincidence (imo) that the biggest -#- victims are the two he had the best relationship with. marc isn't the strongest rival he ever faced. sete is dismissed completely#(which biaggi is to some extent too in that he calls his later rivals stronger but at least he allows biaggi his place in vale's story)#and like... buddy. prime!vale had 14 points in hand over sete with 3 rounds to go let's not pretend it was THAT comfortable my man#but that's what he does! and then sete by contrast makes it about moral injury which is a more flattering story than -#- 'yea he drew some pentagons and lit some candles and chanted a bit in latin and after that my bike would run out of fuel on the last lap'#obviously the relative amount they've discussed it post end of rivalry is completely lopsided but that's true of all but one vale rivalry#all that being said obviously sete did make it way too easy for valentino lmao. the hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby of psychological warfare#curse tag

AU in which Robin is a grown man and Batman is like a casual teen.
Robin is still the sidekick tho. Helping to keep little Batman on the right track and give him good advice as his adopted parent outside of Alfred. He’s joining him on the little adventures to stop crime to make sure he’s okay and everything.
Thank you.

"I think Kishimoto just doesn't know how to draw curly hair" ?????? wha???????????
These are two characters from Naruto that are, as far as I'm aware, supposed to be black:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kurenai has curlier hair than they do, and even hers is just kinda wavy and choppy:
Tumblr media
This guy in the circle (may have to zoom in) has the "frizziest" hair and from what I can tell by searches, it seems to be literally just this specific shot where it looks like that:
Tumblr media
In pretty much every other shot I can find of this guy, his hair is straight but choppy like every other fucking character in this series. And this is what I mean by Kishimoto either straight up doesn't know how to draw curly hair, or is making the conscious decision not to.

interesting that "trench" deleted his twitter full of neo nazi followers, wiped his instagram, and removed all references to bring a "proud trench wolf" from what little social media presence i can find. this is after his original twitter was seemingly deleted and remade a few months before his debute. i don't know how legitimate this reporting about him being "out on injury" [before wrestling at all or really... doing anything requiring much physicality?] is, but if there are some company conduct/social issues at play i would Not. be surprised

having A Song you've imagined up some kind of Blorbo Scenario to like some kind of music video for Blorbo & Co that you could probably never really translate into a fic and can't show it to anyone else cause it lives in your mind so you just listen to the song on repeat

⚠️ Fandom is Moving Forward with Generative AI ⚠️
Tumblr media
As of December 15, Fandom has announced their plans to continue using AI to "enhance" their articles.
In short, they claim to have primarily used AI to
Scan images for "appropriateness" (be that NSFW content or just fitting in with the theme of the show), which still involves scraping tons of images and comparing them to a potentially unethically sourced database. As with all machine learning using images, it is still wildly inaccurate.
Optimizing edits - something they admit is still severely lacking because it can't read tables or variants on simple things like "birthday"
Optimizing SEO - this is clearly what they care most about, since Google likes the "Quick Answers" - as shitty as they were - this means they can continue to dominate the search results and gain more ad revenue.
This is a good time to remember that Fandom is a for-profit company with inverstors, which means their end goal is always to make the most money possible. They don't care about "The Fans" (despite the lip service), and they don't care about the authenticity of user-generated content if they can figure out how to automate the process.
STOP USING FANDOM.
Alternatives/Workarounds:
Indie Wiki Buddy is an extension that will redirect you to non-Fandom versions of wikis if it's in their database.
BreezeWiki displays all Fandom wikis in a clean, ad-free format with just the article content (no links to their forums, autoplay videos, etc)
If you must use Fandom, install UBlock Origin. It's available on all desktop browsers and Firefox Mobile. Hit them where it hurts. And encourage the wiki teams to leave Fandom if they can.
Also, be sure to support independent wikis! You can disable adblockers while on their sites, as they usually have much less obtrusive ads which directly fund server maintenance rather than CEO salaries. Change links on your posts/pages to direct to non-Fandom Wikis (even wiki.gg is better).
Keep information free from corporatization.

I have been on a Willy Wonkified journey today and I need y'all to come with me
It started so innocently. Scrolling Google News I come across this article on Ars Technica:
At first glance I thought what happened was parents saw AI-generated images of an event their kids were at and became concerned, then realized it was fake. The reality? Oh so much better.
On Saturday, event organizers shut down a Glasgow-based "Willy's Chocolate Experience" after customers complained that the unofficial Wonka-inspired event, which took place in a sparsely decorated venue, did not match the lush AI-generated images listed on its official website.... According to Sky News, police were called to the event, and "advice was given."
Thing is, the people who paid to go were obviously not expecting exactly this:
Tumblr media
But I can see how they'd be a bit pissed upon arriving to this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It gets worse.
"Tempest, how could it possibly--"
source of this video that also includes this charming description:
Made up a villain called The Unknown — 'an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls'
There is already a meme.
Tumblr media
Oh yes, the Wish.com Oompa Loompa:
Tumblr media
Who has already done an interview!
As bad (and hilarious) as this all is, I got curious about the company that put on this event. Did they somehow overreach? Did the actors they hired back out at the last minute? (Or after they saw the script...) Oddly enough, it doesn't seem so!
Given what I found when poking around I'm legit surprised there was an event at all. Cuz this outfit seems to be 100% a scam.
The website for this specific event is here and it has many AI generated images on it, as stated. I don't think anyone who bought tickets looked very closely at these images, otherwise they might have been concerned about how much Catgacating their children would be exposed to.
Yes, Catgacating. You know, CATgacating!
Tumblr media
I personally don't think anyone should serve exarserdray flavored lollipops in public spaces given how many people are allergic to it. And the sweet teats might not have been age appropriate.
Though the Twilight Tunnel looks pretty cool:
Tumblr media
I'm not sure that Dim Tight Twdrding is safe. I've also been warned that Vivue Sounds are in that weird frequency range that makes you poop your pants upon hearing them.
Yes, Virginia, these folks used an AI image generator for everything on the website and used Chat GPT for some of the text! From the FAQ:
Q: I cannot go on the available days. Will you have more dates in the future? A: Should there be capacity when you arrive, then you will be able to enter without any problems. In the event that this is not the case, we may ask you to wait a bit.
Fear not, for this question is asked again a few lines down and the answer makes more sense.
Curious about the events company behind this disaster, I took myself over to the homepage of House of Illuminati and I was not disappointed.
Tumblr media
I would 100% trust these people to plan my wedding.
This abomination of a website is a badly edited WordPress blog filled with AI art and just enough blog posts to make the casual viewer think that it's a legit business for about 0.0004 seconds.
Their attention to detail is stunning, from how they left up the default first post every WP blog gets to how they didn't bother changing the name on several images, thus revealing where they came from. Like this one:
Tumblr media
With the lovely and compact filename "DALL·E-2024-01-30-09.50.54-Imagine-a-scene-where-fantasy-and-reality-merge-seamlessly.-In-the-foreground-a-grand-interactive-gala-is-taking-place-filled-with-elegant-guests-i.png"
"Concept.png" came from the same AI generator that gets text almost, but not quiiiiiite right:
Tumblr media
There are a suspicious number of .webp images in the uploads, which makes me think they either stole them from other sites where AI "art" was uploaded or they didn't want to pay for the hi-res versions of some and just grabbed the preview image.
The real fun came when I noticed this filename: Before-and-After-Eventologists-Transformation-Edgbaston-Cricket-Ground-1024x1024-1.jpg and decided to do a Google image search. Friends, you will be shocked to hear that the image in question, found on this post touting how they can transform a boring warehouse into a fun event space, was stolen from this actual event planner.
Even better, this weirdly grainy image?

From a post that claims to be about the preparations for a "Willy Wonka" experience (we'll get to this in a minute), is not only NOT an actual image of anyone preparing anything for Illuminati's event, it is stolen from a YouTube thumbnail that's been chopped to remove the name of the company that actually made this. Here's the video.
If you actually read the blog posts they're all copypasta or some AI generated crap. To the point where this seems like not a real business at all. There's very specific business information at the bottom, but nothing else seems real.
As I said, I'm kinda surprised they put on an event at all. This has, "And then they ran off with all our money!" written all over it. I'm perplexed.
And also wondering when the copyright lawyers are gonna start calling, because...

This post explicitly says they're putting together a "Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory Experience" complete with golden tickets.
Somewhere along the line someone must have wised up, because the actual event was called "Willys Chocolate Experience" (note the lack of apostrophe) and the script they handed to the actors about 10 minutes before they were supposed to "perform" was about a "Willy McDuff" and his chocolate factory.
As I was going through this madness with friends in a chat, one pointed out that it took very little prompting to get the free Chat GPT to spit out an event description and such very similar to all this while avoiding copyrighted phrases. But he couldn't figure out where the McDuff came from since it wasn't the type of thing GPT would usually spit out...
Until he altered the prompt to include it would be happening in Glasgow, Scotland.

You cannot make this stuff up.
But truly, honestly, I do not even understand why they didn't take the money and run. Clearly this was all set up to be a scam. A lazy, AI generated scam.
Everything from the website to the event images to the copy to the "script" to the names of things was either stolen or AI generated (aka stolen). Hell, I'd be looking for some poor Japanese visitor wandering the streets of Glasgow, confused, after being jacked for his mascot costume.

HE LIVES IN THE WALLS, Y'ALL.
