I love your writing and when I saw your birthday post I was so psyched!
Would you please write something about the turtles (Bayverse or ROTTMNT, your choice) and the worst time/ place theyâve gotten erect? Maybe how the deal with it? Why they got aroused in the first place? Let your mind run wild ;)
Sometimes your partner or crush just gets to you and you canât control your desire ;>
⢠Female reader/ or what ever youâre comfortable writing for
⢠Developed or no developed relationship
â˘All the turtles or just one you really like to write for (up to you)
⢠A short story or head-canons work equally well
Essentially go with whatever you feel most comfortable writing for with the prompt! Thank you! And have fun /^v^/
Also hereâs some birthday cake for the road! đ đ°đ§đ
HAHAHAHAHHAHA I love this
Erection Directions
I'm thinking bay!boys but either works
MINORS DNI - LOTS OF SEXY STUFF BELOW - TURTLES ARE 20+ IN THIS - DONT BE WEIRD
Leo
Well....you see.... it was patrol
It was a slow night, they weren't planning on going out, everyone's in a bad mood
And then you call
And he let's the guys take a break and sneaks off behind a secluded wall to answer the call
"Hey love, were on patrol is there somehting you need-"
"I think I need you to come over and fuck me,"
đł (the turtle was too stunned to speak)
Swallows his tongue and has to clear his throat before responding.
You flirt and banter for a moment, then it becomes clear that your hand in inside your blue panties (that you sent a lewd picture of)
"Baby, I can't I'm on patrol" He responds after you ask for a video of his "achingly hard cock" as he put it
"How am I supposed to get off if I don't hear your pretty moans?" You tease
Damn
Peering around the wall, he unzips his pants and aims the camera at his hard cock. He catches the soft moan from his lips and his thumb rubbing precum along the shaft.
After a minute he stops recording and sends it your way. He hears your excited moan over the phone.
He grips himself harder.
"I wish you were here right now, inside me instead of my hand,"
That makes him stroke faster, your voice, the knowledge that he's doing this out in the cold night air spurring him on.
He feels his release getting closer, and he hears your responding moans.
"I'm gonna-"
"Oi, fearless!" Like the ass he is, raph comes around the corner.
Leo drops his phone in an attempt to cover himself. "Come on!" He yells.
Raph turns and yells, both to him and Donnie and Mikey. "I'm fucking done, I'm going home, fuck this!"
Donnie asks. "What happened?"
"He's fucking jerking it!" The red brute yells, making the other two start complaining.
"Whyd we even come out here?!"
"I had work to do that you made me put down!"
Leo scrambles on the ground, putting his hand over the microphone. "Patrols over, go home!" He simply yells
He sighs and tucks his own soft cock into his pants. He's upset and extremely embarrassed.
When he lifts the phone to his ear, he hears you laughing your ass off.
Raph
It was the weights room
He lives in there
And you, his new and flashy crush, are now also "living" in here
You claimed it was stupid to pay for a gym membership when you could simply hang out here
And because he's in love with you, he agreed
Now, he regrets it.
You're doing squats while holding a dumbell and the way your ass and thighs look right now should be illegal.
He's laying on the bench press, not even trying to be sneaky as he watches you go up....and down....and up.....and down
And now something else is up
Very up and not at all sneaky.
His head snaps to the ceiling, his hands shaking as he holds the bar above his head.
His heart is pounding hard. A lot like how hard he wants to pound you-
He shakes his head and the bar nearly comes crashing down on his face
"Raph!" You rush over and stand above his head, grabbing the bar around his fingers and lifting it (with his help)
And great, now he's got a view of the underside of your breasts, and the sweet sweaty skin of your bare stomach. Oh, and your delicious thighs are there too.
His cock pulses beneath his shorts.
"Are you okay?" You help him put the bar back, leaning over to look down at him.
Now he can see your cleavage.
"Um" He goes to answer but no words come out.
You sigh and straighten up, and your eyes rake down his body.
He tenses. Your eyes go wide and your cheeks flame.
Shit.
Donnie
Donnie was working under the truck
He's on a custom made rolling cart, his hips peeking out from under thr garbage truck.
He's got headphones on, listening to an audio book you recommended.
It's a romance and the characters just had their first kiss.
He's working and listening, not really paying attention.
"His lips traveled down her neck, making a spike of heat run down her body to her pussy"
Woah
He stopped working for a moment, swallowing hard and taking in what was happening.
The scene progressed and got dirtier and dirtier, to the point where he was aching and hard in his pants
It was late, no one was awake.
He rolled out from under the truck, wiped off his hands and undid his pants.
He tried to match the pace of the book, and man this person was doing a really good job on the voices
For a moment he imagined you and him fooling around like the characters were
His strokes became fast. Slick sounds filling the quiet garage
As the characters hit their peak, so did he, moaning softly and cumming in his hand, it spills down onto his chest and pants.
He sighs, opening his eyes and nearly passing out.
On the other side of the garage, your sitting with your hand in your pants, your lip caught between your teeth
Your eyes meet.
He removes the headphones, feeling hot and sweaty at your flushed cheeks
You smile, all seductive and it makes his cock twitch.
"Chapter 24?"
Hes up and rushing to you, fully intending on acting out the full Chapter.
Mikey
It's while you and him are making dinner
It's mundane and it smells almost as good as you do
You have a smile on your face as you try to remember what each brother likes and it makes his heart warm
He stirs the gravy and asks you to come try it.
He doesn't expect you to take his wrist and lead his spoon to your lips. Wrapping it around the silver and sucking the gravy off.
Now other things are warm
"Mmm!" You moan, licking your lips. "That's really good mike!"
Very warm
It stays that way until everyone is eating at the table
Mikey sees your eyes drift down his plastron as a drop of gravy falls off his bite of potatoes
Your breath catches as you notice the tent in his shorts
Everyone is busy taking and chatting about... oh he has no idea what anybody is talking about
Especially when you smirk and let your hand sneak under the table
You grip his thigh and he nearly cums in his pants from that
You scratch your way up his leg, griping him through his shorts and underwear
He shoves food in his mouth to keep from being too loud. Your hand feels amazing
It's a bit clumsy with the angle and clothes in the way, but he's still very much so getting off
He manages to keep himself quiet as he cums, staning his shorts. You shoot him another cheeky smile.
The hand that was griping him, moves the the table and "accidentally" knocks over a glass of water onto his lap
He gasps at the cold and everyone turns to look
"Oh, mike, I'm sorry! I'm so clumsy!" Your eyes flash with mischief
"It's fine, y/n," He touches your arm. "Come help me get some towels to clean this up,"
Although this has nothing to do with his birthday, I made a short manga for today.
â ď¸ Some notes:
Supposed to be komahina, but it's only slightly implied.
The story is based on my post-DR3 headcanon, so if you want to see a detailed explanation, please see my earlier post.
ćĽćŹčŞçăŻăłăăŠ
The story begins when Hinata's team (though only Komaeda and Hinata appear in the manga) finishes defeating the remnants of despair in an area. I hope you enjoy it!:
Komaeda said in the killing game that I didn't care when I died or that you could kill me without hesitation or anything like that, but I hope that after he wakes up from NWP, he will say, "This is the life Hinata-kun saved for me, and I can't just throw it away," or something like that. (And I want him to talk about it on his own, even though no one has asked him about it. đ)
i thought sissy and jack having the same birthday would be cute lmk if you agree <3

trevorzegras happy birthday to the love of my life, and soon to be wife, y/n âsissyâ soon to be zegras! no other person has ever made me feel the way that you do, and i wake up every day amazed that i get to call you mine.
our song lately has been âwhat my world spins aroundâ by jordan davis, which is funny because when i first met you, you had a boyfriend. his song âsingles you upâ was popular back then, and all i could think about was how much i wanted you. he did single you up, and now youâre mine, and youâre what my world spins around.
i love you more and more each day, y/n. you taught me what love is. i thought i knew before, but you give a whole new definition to the word. iâm forever grateful that the hughes family took you in, because they brought you to me.
happy birthday, my sweet (derranged) girl𧥠i love you, forever!

_quinnhughes happy birthday to my best friend, my little sister, and my favorite nap buddy for sixteen years. sissy, i love you more than words. iâm so proud of you for making it to twenty-two. iâm so proud that youâre going to school and becoming who you want to be, and iâm so glad i got to see you grow up to become the person you are now.
iâll always be protective of you, and thatâs never going to change, but ever since that day you packed everything up to move across the country with z, i knew youâd be okay. i knew that it would change you for the better, and i was half right. it didnât change you at all. instead, it gave you the opportunity to grow into who you are. who i see you as.
youâre wonder woman. youâre there when anyone needs you, and you often go out of your way to be there. you are everything your middle school self said you wanted to be, and i know sheâs happy that you made it here.
i love you, sissyâ¤ď¸ happy birthday
edit: iâve been told i failed to mention our child, @.colemcward , and how good of a mother she is! youâre doing amazing, sweaty!

youâre the biggest supporter around. i remember how proud you were when you made your own ntdp hoodie to wear at games that had mine, jackâs, trevorâs, and alexâs name and number on the back because you refused to just support one of us. youâve caught endless planes to watch any of us play, especially when itâs against each other. you got on a plane to be there after my surgery this year. you make sure no one is ever alone, which is something truly rare.

lhughes_06 happy birthday, sissy! growing up with you was a ride, and i wouldnât trade it for anything in the world. realizing you actually werenât legally and by blood my sister was the biggest shock of my life. but when i grew up, i realized you are my actual sister, and these last five years have proved that even more.
everybody deserves a sissy. you flying out to florida to watch frozen four was amazing, but you staying after i left to be with the team and support them just because eddy asked you to was even more amazing. you didnât have to be there for them, hell you didnât have to be there for me, but you were anyways. donât tackle duker for telling me about the sleepover party, because i just want to thank you for it. you met my friends and immediately decided that you were going to be their âmom,â and you have more than done that. you didnât have to do the sleepovers like you do for me, but you did, and then made your way to jersey to watch me sign my contract. like quinny said, youâre wonder woman.

đ BIRTHDAY CAKE â when is your oc's birthday? how old are they? what are their sun, moon, & rising signs (if known)? what about their tarot card, ruling planet, & ruling number (if known)? do they fit the typical traits of these sun, moon, & rising signs?
Quinn--born December 31st 1990 (i know I said 91 in my other post shhhhh I know how to do math) so he's 33! he's a capricorn? gonna be honest..I have no idea what these sign things mean and I don't think my boys would either đ so we be skippin that~
Vincent--born August 23rd 1909 (see their birth years are reversed..oooh compatible!) I think he just makes the virgo cutoff...anyway he's technically 115 but was physically (almost) 36 when he turned (shhh math...)
đ¨âđŠâđ§âđŚ FAMILY WITH MOTHER, FATHER, SON AND DAUGHTER â how many people are in your oc's immediate family? how many people are in your oc's extended family? do they have aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc? who in their family are they closest with? are they close with their birth family, or do they have a found family?
Quinn--he has his dad (Ed Lacey), older sister (Nora), his mother who he doesn't want to talk about don't mention her (Meredith Lacey, nĂŠe Walsh), his sister's son (Kensington) (aware that this is the dumbest name ever, it's supposed to be), two uncles and an aunt on his father's side, couple of cousins who he was never really close with, paternal grandmother is still kicking (Dorothy "Dottie"), an aunt from his mother's side who still sends him a birthday card every year but can't look him in the eye
Vincent--his father (Nelson Aubrey Craft), and mother (Ida Duany), an uncle with two sons of whom he was not fond of, paternal grandparents refused to meet him, reconnected with some of his mother's relatives in Jamaica at some point, several second cousins once removed etc..
Severus Snapeâs wife comes home early from a day out with her friend. When he sees that sheâs upset, he makes it his personal mission to figure out what happened.
This is a request and birthday present for @giosnape. Buon compleanno (happy birthday)!đĽłđđ
Note: This was supposed to be about âBad Day at Workâ, but because of recent events, I couldnât make myself write it as it would become too personal.
Warning: Angst (Loss of friendship and threatening to curse somebody)
Severus Snape is at home in Spinnerâs End, drinking a cup of tea. His wife, Y/N, left less than an hour ago to go out with one of her good friends.
Severus is happy that she spends time with her friends - that means he gets to stay home alone and enjoy some quiet time. Even though the longer they have been married, the more he misses her whenever sheâs not near him. He almost considered tying her to the bed this morning just so she couldnât leave⌠But he obviously didnât do it. She needs her time with her friends.
He will just have to occupy himself until she gets home - perhaps read a book? Or brew a potion? Even though he enjoys these things very much, he would still rather have her next to him. He sighs to himself. He wishes that she would get home earlier today.
Just as heâs about to take another sip of his drink, the front door suddenly opens. He grabs his wand to stop the intruders. However, when he faces the newcomer, he widens his eyes. Itâs his wife - why is she already home? Did his wish come true?
âDarling? Why are you already home?â he questions, tilting his head.
Make A Wish [Vanessa's First Birthday With the Black Bulls Fic]
When Yami, Gordon, and Finral realize they have somehow missed their newest squad member's birthday, they take it upon themselves to celebrate with her late even though none of them know the slightest thing about throwing a birthday party...It's the thought that counts though, right?
Happy Birthday, Vanessa!

A/N: Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the lovely Vanessa! đI wrote this story about her first birthday with the Black Bulls way back before I had a Tumblr so since I never actually posted it here (and I think I exhausted all of my Vanessa's birthday story ideas for this work đ ) I thought it might be an appropriate to cross-post here in celebration and for any of my lovely Tumblr friends who may have missed it on AO3.

CHAPTER 1: What's a Birthday Without Leeks?
âCaptain Yami!â exclaimed Finral as he suddenly appeared through a portal in the wall. Yami huffed and narrowed his eyes.
âWe talked about this, Finral,â he grunted though Finralâs confused expression did not inspire the slightest bit of confidence that he remembered. Yami tilted his head pointedly towards the door. âKnockingâŚâ
A faint blush filled Finralâs cheeks as he shuffled his feet almost sheepishly. âSorry⌠I did knock a couple of times, but you didnât answer.â
Yamiâs brow furrowed. âSo you just came in anywayâŚ?â
Finral stared intently at the floor and leaned forwardâseemingly curling in on himself. âSorry, CaptainâŚâ he began to apologize again. Sighing, Yami shook his head. This kid would apologize for breathing if he let him. Yami didnât think his squad membersâ pasts were any of his business, but he did occasionally wonder what kind of hellhole Finral had come from that made him feel like he had to apologize just for existing.
âWe talked about this too, Finral,â he said with a pointed tilt of his head. Finralâs eyes widened, and his face flushed.
âSorââ He stopped abruptly. He mustâve remembered at least one of their âstop it with the excessive apologizingâ talks. âUmâŚâ Fidgeting, Finralâs brow furrowed thoughtfully. âIâŚuhâŚdidnât mean to interrupt, but it was important.â
âWhatâs important?â Yami asked against his better judgment and instantly regretted it as Finral began twisting his hands almost nervously.
âWell, you know Vanessaââ
âFinral,â Yami interrupted with a huff. âArenât you two supposed to be friends now? I thought we were past all thisâŚâ Or at least he had hoped they were. Perhaps his relief that Finral and Vanessa had seemed to reach some sort of understanding was a bit premature, but in his defense, Finral hadnât brought any more flowers into their hideout or otherwise tried to flirt with the poor girl in weeksânaturally, he had hoped this signaled the end of that drama, or at least his involvement in it.
Confusedly, Finral tilted his head and blinked at him. âPast what, Sir?â
Yami quirked an eyebrow at him and debated whether to respond or not. The last thing he wanted was to be caught in the middle of whatever Finral had going onâor perhaps more accurately whatever Finral thought he had going onâwith the newest member of their squad, again. He was their magic knight captain not their parent for crying out loudâwas it too much to ask that they work these things out on their own without involving him? However, if he knew Finral at all, he knew that he was just going to tell him anyway so they might as well get it over with.
âJust spit it out, Finral.â
âDid you know it was Vanessaâs birthday last week?â Yamiâs eyes narrowed. This was not what he had been expecting⌠ Â
âHer birthday?â he repeated. âHow do you know that?â
âWell I heard her telling some guy in the market how old she was, and when I asked her about it, she said her birthday was last week so sheâs older now.â Finral paused and sighed. âWe completely missed it, Sir. We didnât even have cake.â
âAnd Vanessaâs upset about thisâŚ?â
Finral shrugged. âI donât knowâŚI donât think so. She didnât act like it was a big deal. I donât think sheâs ever celebrated her birthday before.â
Yami twisted his mouth to one side. Finral had a point. After all, the poor girl had been locked up in a cage when he had found herâhe couldnât really imagine the Queen of Witches bringing her cake and presents once a year, but⌠âNot sure what we can do about that now. Weâve already missed it.â
âWell, what we if celebrated it late? We could get a cake and some decorations.â
Yami snorted an almost guttural laugh. âDecorations? Whoâs decorating? You?â
âGordon has some ideasâŚâ
âGordon?â questioned Yami raising an eyebrow.
âYeah, heâsââ Finral paused, and his face flushed. âOh shoot, heâs waiting out in the hallway. I completely forgot.â
Before Yami could protest, Finral had rushed over to the door and ushered Gordon into the study. Mumbling quickly and indistinguishably, Gordon handed Yami a piece of paper with a long list of items beginning: decorations, cake, presentsâŚ
âYou think we have the money to pay for all this?â Yami huffed, and Gordon immediately set a pouch of Yul on the desk in front of the Captain murmuring something Yami couldnât quite decipher but assumed was probably encompassed in Finralâs next statement.
âIf we all pitched in, we could put together something nice, right?â With a slight shrug of his shoulders and an earnest smile, Finral pulled out a bag of Yul from his pocket and put it on the desk beside Gordonâs money. âAnd we could use a lot of what we have already. Gordon has lots of craft supplies, and we should have most of the ingredients to make a cake, I think. The only thing weâd really have to buy is a present and if weâre missing a few ingredients or somethingâŚâ
Yamiâs brow furrowed. These dumb kids⌠they made it sound so simpleâconveniently forgetting the fact that they didnât know the slightest thing about decorating and could probably burn water on a good day. Yami couldnât imagine what theyâd do to an actual cake.
âPlease, Sir,â continued Finral. âIt wouldnât have to be fancy or anything, maybe just a nice dinner with cakeâbut if Vanessaâs never celebrated her birthday before, we really should try to do something for her, shouldnât we?â
Finral fidgeted with his hands, but he and Gordon both stared at their captain with an almost pleading earnestness. Yami shook his head. KnuckleheadsâŚboth of themâŚ
Shifting, Yami raised a questioning eyebrow, but his mouth twitched in the corners just barely. He sighed.
âAlright. Fine,â he conceded. âBut you morons had better not burn the place down.â
Finral and Gordon visibly brightened as Yami pulled out a small bag of Yul from one of the desk drawers and added it to the growing pile of Yul on the desk. âIâm putting you in charge of shoppingââhe held out the money to FinralââRemember this doesnât grow on trees, got it?â
Finral nodded solemnly though his face was bright with a wide, excited smile. âYes, Sir.â
âGordon will stay here and decorate, and Iâll fry up some meat for dinner. As soon as you get back here, weâll all try our hand at that cakeâŚâ
Before Finral and, probably Gordon too though Yami couldnât understand him most of the time, could start with their reassurances that surely, they could manage baking a cake, there was a knock at the door. Finral jumped but quickly calmed himself as an apologetic Vanessa appeared in the doorway with pink in her cheeks.
âUmâŚIâm sorry for interrupting,â she said with downcast eyes. Yami sighed. Between her and Finralâand for all he knew, Gordon tooâhe ought to make an apology swear jarâŚ
âNo. No, itâs fine. Youâre not interrupting anything, and you donât need to apologize,â Finral hurriedly interjected. âWe wereâŚumâŚjustâŚumâŚtalkingâŚââhe nodded repeatedly as if trying to convince himselfâ âaboutâŚumâŚyou knowâŚguy stuffâŚâ
Blinking, Yami shook his head at the ever-reddening Finral. He had at one point rather foolishly wondered if his influence might make the kid a better liar, but he seemed to be getting worse and Vanessa seemed to be a getting a bit wise to it.
She furrowed her brow and tilted her head inquisitively at Finral. âGuy stuff?â
As Finral rubbed his hand across the back of his neck and stumbled his way through some âUmâŚwellâŚuhâŚâs, Gordon stepped into Yamiâs line of sight and started whispering something or other and pointing at a line item on his list that read, âGet Vanessa out of the house so we can surprise her.â
He placed a hand on Finralâs shoulder, and Finral looked up at him with wide, grateful eyesâclearly indebted to him for saving him from further shoving his foot in his mouth. âWe were just talking about how we need a few things from the market.â Yami waved his hand almost dismissively. âYou wouldnât mind going to pick up a few things would you?â
Vanessa brightened. âNot at all. Iâd be happy to go. What do we need?â
âLeeks.â Yami resisted the urge to roll his eyes at a blushing, fidgeting Finral who, naturally, decided to try to salvage his faux pas by adding, âAndâŚand soap.â
Yami shut his eyes and took a deep breath. This kid was a lost cause. He opened his eyes to find Finral staring at him seemingly realizing, in some mixture of horror and confusion, what he had had just said. As he began to mouth SorryâŚÂ Yami glared at him, and he shut his mouth abruptly. Yami sighed.
âYeahâŚleeks and soapâŚalso some milk.â He quirked an eyebrow pointedly at Finral before turning back to Vanessa. âPick up some cheese if you want some too and uhâŚââGordon held out the paper to him again and Yami read aloudââStrawberries.â
If Vanessa questioned their impromptu shopping list, she didnât show any indication of it as she repeated back to them, âOkay so leeks, soap, milk, cheese and strawberries. Anything else?â
Yami whipped around to glare at Finral as if to make doubly sure that he would not be adding any other random items to their shopping list. âNope. I think thatâs it.â He gave a handful of Yul to Vanessa, mentally lamenting how much they were going to spend on groceries they didnât even need. What the hell were they even going to do with those leeks?
âIt looks like itâll storm later,â he continued glancing out of the window at the few clouds in the sky. âSo take a magic item with you and give us a call when youâre ready to come back, and weâll have Finral open up a portal for you.â
Luckily, Vanessa didnât seem to pay much attention to Finral was gaping at them, Yami assumed, in awe and amazement at the ease of his captainâs lie, and she didnât seem to notice Yamiâs pointed tilt of his head and glare which was directed at the young spatial mage until he finally managed, âYeah. UmâŚno problem. Just let me know when youâve finished shopping, and Iâll come pick you up so uhâŚyou donât have to walk home in the rainâŚ?â His tone lifted and his voice squeaked as if he was asking a nervous question, but it was too late to worry about that now.
Vanessa blinked at him. âOkayâŚbut I really donât mind walking.â
âBut the leeksâthe leeks could get wet,â interjected a fidgety Finral. Vanessaâs brow furrowed, and Finralâs face flushed as Yami, once again, resisted the ever-intensifying urge to roll his eyes. âAnd youâyou could also get wetâŚandâŚumâŚjust please callâŚpleaseâŚâ
âOkay,â answered a visibly confused Vanessa. Yami honestly felt bad for the poor girl. It was a wonder she wasnât onto them what with Finralâs extreme inability to keep a secret.
Gordon handed Vanessa the wicker basket they often took to the market to carry their groceries and promptly ushered Vanessa out of the room, clearly confused to say the very least.
As soon as she was gone, Finral, still red in the face, sighed with relief. âWellâŚthat couldâve gone worseâŚâ
Yami narrowed his eyes at him but huffed. âJust get going. We donât have a lot of time until Vanessa gets back.â
Finral nodded as he opened his grimoire and made a portal for himself. âYes, Sir.â
âAnd Finral? I hope you like leeks because you will eating them until they are gone.â Â
Twisting his mouth to one side, Finral nodded apologetically before he disappeared through the shimmery portal.
CHAPTER 2: Requiem for Decorations
The pan sizzled as Yami seared the meat he was cooking. He sighed. If all else failed, at least theyâd have an entrĂŠe. Yami glanced over at the clock on the wall. Finral really should have been back by now, but knowing him, he was probably still indecisively perusing the store and debating what to buy or had completely forgotten about shopping the minute he saw a pretty shopkeeper or beautiful store patron. Finral was so distractable and indecisive they probably shouldâve sent Gordon. Yami resisted the urge to roll his eyes and mentally conceded that, unfortunately, Gordon couldnât just portal to and from the store. Of course, this only mattered if Finral managed to use his spatial magic to shorten the shopping tripâlooking at the clock on the wall now, Yami wasnât so sure if it made much of a difference.
Yami scooped some of the cooked meat onto a nearby plate and conceded that Gordon was probably better suited to decorating and arts and crafts, anyway. Of course, a wall currently blocked his view of any of the decorations Gordon was currently making and hanging up in the Hideoutâs common room.
âHey, a little help here?â called Yami at the ceiling as he pat the wall with his hand. There was a long pause as Yami brought the stove to a low simmer and scooped up some more of the crispy, thoroughly cooked meat. Then, the wall began to move. Where it moved to, Yami wasnât sure, but it did allow him to see Gordon and his decorations which were rather dark and gloomy for a birthday party.
Gordon had hung strips of dark fabrics from the ceiling like bunting and had strung dark streamers and papers with cut-out designs from the rafters. Yami supposed the doom and gloom was partially his fault for insisting Gordon only buy craft supplies which were on sale and such sad, dreary colors were often in the bargain binâbut, he conceded with a sigh, it was too late to worry about that now.
âWoahâŚumâŚthis isâŚumâŚâ stumbled Finral appearing through a portal in the wallâa small bag in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other.
âGloomy.â Yami shrugged, and Finral sheepishly shuffled his feet before admitting quietly.
âI was going to say âa little frighteningâ but yeah, gloomy too. Did we not have anything colorful?â
Yami twisted his mouth to one side. âGuess not.â His eyes narrowed Finral. âWhat took you so long?â
âWell, it was hard to decide what to getâŚâ
âSo you chose flowersââYami quirked an eyebrow at himââafter I specifically told you not to bring any more of those in here?â
Finral fidgeted. âSorry. But itâs only this onceâfor her birthday, and yellow roses are her favorite.â
Yami huffed as he stirred some of the meat around in the pan so it would crisp on both sides. âItâs fine,â he grunted. âBut just this once.â
Yami turned to glare sternly at Finral who nodded very solemnly and set about filling a vase for those flowers. âI got something else too,â he added as he arranged the yellow flowers in the vase and set it in its place of honor on the counter. âI can show youââ
âIâm sure itâs fine. You can show us after we make this cake.â Yami tilted his head towards the cookbook and ingredients he and Gordon had gotten out earlier.
âRight,â answered Finral, nearly jumping as Gordon suddenly appeared beside him. He quickly calmed himself as he perused the recipe. âThis doesnât seem too hard.â
Yami blinked at him. He had to admire the kidâs completely unwarranted optimism.
Finralâs brow furrowed as he began gathering ingredients. âThe recipe says âBaking Powder,â but we donât have any.â Gordon who had been put in charge of dry ingredients, promptly provided a container marked âBaking Soda,â and Finral tilted his head. âDo you think we can just use this Baking Soda instead?â
Yami frowned. âHell if I know.â
âThey both have âbakingâ in the name so they have to be similar right?â
Apparently, a nod from Gordon was all the reassurance Finral needed as he promptly substituted baking soda for baking powder. Gordon mixed together the rest of the dry ingredients as Yami finished up his meat and prepped the oven to the sound of Finralâs increasingly more frustrated mutterings to himself. Yami was almost afraid to ask, but he asked anyway.
âWhatâs goinâ on, Finral?â
Finral had half an eggshell in one hand and the other half in the other as he carefully tried to separate the egg whites from the yolkâthe evidence of numerous failed attempts scattered around the counter in various bowls, cups, and other less conventional dishes.
âJust trying to get these egg whitesâŚthe recipe calls for four of them. Why does it need so many?â Finral lamented as he sighed sorrowful at the collection of broken eggs.
âWeâre gonna run out of eggs,â Yami huffed. âJust use whole ones instead.â Yami had no idea what that would do to the cake, but at least it would stop Finral from breaking every single egg they had. âIâll fry up these busted onesâscramble âem maybe. If our cake doesnât turn out, weâll have meat and eggs at least.â Yami shrugged, but Finral nodded almost gratefully as he added four full eggs into the cake batter.
Yami pulled his frying pan back out and fried up those eggs until thunder began to crash loudly outside bringing all baking to a halt. Gordon and Finral rushed to press their faces against the window.
âWoah. It looks like itâs going to storm.â Finral turned back towards Yami with a tilt of his head. âWaitâŚhow did you know it was going to rain?â
âI didnât.â
âBut you told Vanessaââ
Yami cut him off. âThat was a lie.â He quirked an eyebrow at him. âYou should really learn how to tell one before we end up with more leeks.â
Finral flushed and twisted his hands. âDo you think Vanessaâs already bought everything on the list?â
âIt was a strange listâmight take awhile to find some of that stuff.â
The lines in Finralâs face softened before he sighed in concern glancing out the window at the darkening sky. âSheâs not going to get caught out in the rain, do you think?â
Yami shrugged. âWe told her to call. If doesnât want to get wet, she will. Now letâs hurry up and get this cake in the oven. How many more ingredients are there?â
âI think this is the last one,â said Finral holding up a tiny spoon. â3 ½ teaspoons of vanilla, but I canât remember how much Iâve already put in.â Finralâs brow furrowed. âDid you see how many spoonfuls I put in?â Yami and Gordon both shook their head, and Finral sighed. âIâll just start over I guess.â
Yamiâs eyes narrowed at him, but at this point, there was no salvaging whatever they were making here so he didnât see what it mattered if there was twice as much vanilla. Once all the ingredients were addedâdespite most of them, perplexingly, ending up on Yami, Finral, and Gordonâs clothingâYami stirred the batter quickly and poured it into the cake pan he had greased earlier. It was a miracle the thing had even made it in the oven, and Yami felt proud of himself for that much at least. He thought he deserved a nice, long rest and a cold beer. Reclining on one of the sofas in the common room, he popped the top off of bottle and put his feet up.
âAhâŚâ he sighed taking a nice, long, and refreshing sip. Then, another and another. Eventually, he opened his eyes and turned to Finral who was practically bouncing off the walls with nervous energy and whose unsettled and anxious ki was getting harder and harder to ignore. âAlright kid. You can show us what you bought Vanessa for her birthday now.â
Visibly brightening, Finral pulled out the small bag he had brought home with him earlier. âAlright so I didnât know what to get, and I spent a lot of time looking at different things. I got the flowers, but they didnât really seem like enough to be a whole birthday present but then I saw theseâŚâ
Yami raised his eyebrows at the small velvet box Finral handed to him. As he opened the lid, his eyes widened. He shut it again immediately. âHow did we afford these?â
Shuffling his feet, Finral stumbled, âWellâŚwe all put our money together right? And they werenât as expensive as you think andâŚâ His voice trailed as his blush deepened. Yami blinked at him. They were really going to have to do something about that lying thing⌠But as it was now, Finral just fidgeted and downcast his eyes as his cheeks flushed more and more red and he stumbled with an almost unbelievable earnestness, âDo youâŚdo you think sheâll like them?â
Yami sighed. He wasnât sure if Finral was incredibly stupid or incredibly generousâprobably a little of both. He didnât bother asking Finral how much of his own money he had contributed to cover the difference as he was sure Finral wouldnât tell him even if he did, but he gave him a quick pat on the shoulder and a slight, lopsided smile. âYeah. Theyâre great.â
Finralâs cheeks flushed an even deeper red, and he began to sniffle as if he was genuinely moved which quickly turned to an almost confused sniff. âDo you smell something?â
Yami sniffed the air. It was almost acrid like something was burning⌠âThe cake!â Yami rushed to the kitchen with Finral and Gordon in tow and quickly opened the oven. Smoke billowed out and filled the room causing them all to cough. âOpen some windows,â Yami called as he swatted at the smokey haze with his hands. Once Gordon and Finral had returned from their window-opening mission, the three Magic Knights starred dejectedly at their sorrowful excuse for a cake.
âItâs kind ofâŚâ Finral paused as if trying to think of the proper word. âflat, isnât it?â Flat, burnt, lumpy and disaster were all words which came to mind while inspecting the cake. It didnât look appetizing and possibly didnât even look edible. âIt looks like it didnât rise at all.â Finral looked to Yami apologetically. âIt looks burnt too. Do you even think we can eat it?â
Yami shrugged. He certainly wouldnât want to if he had a choice. They probably shouldâve just bought one, but it was too late for that now. Gordon brought a kitchen knife and scraped a piece off of the top of the cake, which was the least burnt, for them to taste. It was dry, grainy, and still a little burnt but not nearly as bad as the bottom half of the cake which might as well have been ashâstill it left Yami with a parched, unpleasantly dry mouth. He reached for his beer, only to find it empty far too soon. He definitely needed another.
âItâs notâŚthat horrible is it?â questioned Finral who was washing down his taste of cake with copious amounts of water. Gordon nodded in agreement and mumbled something before cutting off the least burnt parts of the cake which crumbled on the plate. He and Finral tried to put them back together with icing, but only succeeded in making a mess. They were certainly lucky that Vanessa had no frame of reference otherwise she would probably be disappointed.
âI donât think itâs gonna get much better than that,â Yami shrugged once Finral and Gordon had shaped the crumbling cake pieces and icing into a sort of blob.
Finral tilted his head at the plate and sighed. He shivered as a gust of wind blew in from the storm that was obviously brewing outside, and as Yami turned to close the window, the wind blew water droplets onto his face from the rain which suddenly turned from a sprinkle to a torrential downpour. As he wiped his face with his hands, an almost unsettling rustling and wuthering sound came from the common room followed by Finralâs exclamation of a string of colorful language Yami thought, a bit proudly, he had picked up from him. He may not be able to teach him how to lie, but he could make sure he had the proper vocabulary for instances when a dayâs work of decorations get drenched and destroyed into a soppy, soaking mess by a window that was left open during a rainstorm.
Gordon had picked up a pitiful wad of mushy, sopping papers that had once been hanging from the wall and was cradling it almost mournfully in his hands. Finral joined Gordon in his sorrowful requiem for the decorations, and Yami exhaled before he shrugged.
âAt least it canât get any worse right?â
He had, of course, spoken too soon as Vanessa burst through the door soaked to the bone and taking in the scene in utter confusion.
âVanessa!â exclaimed Finral sniffling and quickly straightening his shoulders. âUmâŚuhâŚwhy didnât you call?â
âI did,â she said as she pushed a sopping piece of pink hair out of her face. âNo one answered so I just started walking back. It was fine until the really heavy rain.â Finral, Gordon, and Yami looked amongst themselves almost guiltily. If Yami had to guess, Vanessa had probably called in the midst of the burning cake and ruined decorations, and they hadnât even noticed. She pulled a bundle out of her basket which was carefully wrapped in her Black Bulls robe. âI protected the groceries though. Especially the leeks like you said. I donât think they got too wet.â Vanessa smiled brightly and earnestly as she unwrapped the bundle to reveal their extremely random shopping list of items kept relatively dry by her cape which should haveâat least partiallyâbeen protecting her from the rain. Gordon and Yami both turned to look at Finral, but the poor boy was trembling and eventually broke down.
âIâm so sorry, Vanessa! It was all a big lie. We didnât need leeks or soap or any of that. We were just trying to get you out of the Hideout so we could surprise you.â
Vanessaâs brow furrowed, and she tilted her head. âSurprise me? Why?â
âFor your birthday,â Finral explained. âWe felt really bad that we accidentally missed it so we were trying to do something to celebrate it, just a little bit late. We tried to make a cake but it got burned, and we had decorations but they got ruined. We still have presents though and part of the cake is okay andâŚâ He stopped as Yami placed a hand on his shoulder so he would notice Vanessaâs widening eyes.
âYou wanted to celebrate my birthday? You did all of this for me?â she asked almost in disbelief. Finral nodded. Gordon mumbled, and Yami shrugged.
âDonât look at me. It was these knuckleheadsâ idea. Now why donât you get yourself dried off. Weâre having meat, eggs, and leeks for dinner.â
CHAPTER 3: My Wish
After dinner, Gordon and Finral almost sheepishly brought out their cake blob; however, when Finral insisted that Vanessa open presents first, no one protested. If Yami was being honest, Finral seemed more excited about the presents than Vanessa though she was so pleased with the flowers, Yami couldnât help but wonder if the other gift was even necessary.
âThereâs something else,â Finral beamed and practically bounced up and down as he reached for the velvet box from earlier which Gordon had since tied with a shiny silver ribbon.  âItâs from all of us. Well, the flowers were from all of us too, but they were kind of a decoration and a present and this is just a present andâŚâ Finral rambled but stopped himself as he held out the box to Vanessa. She tilted her head inquisitively at it before she carefully untied the ribbon and opened it.
She gasped. âThese are⌠beautifulâŚâ she stumbled as she held up one of the earringsâthe beautiful purple, diamond-shaped gem sparkling as it dangled from her grip. Finralâs cheeks flushed pink, but he positively beamed as Gordon held out a mirror for Vanessa to try on her new jewelry.
âThank you so much!â Her face seemed to light up as she looked at herself in the mirror wearing her new dangling earrings.
âYou should thank Finral,â Yami insisted, and Gordon nodded in agreement. âHe picked âem out.â
âIt was nothing,â Finral answeredâshuffling his feet as his blush deepened. âWeâŚuhâŚstill have to have cakeâŚâ The words seemed to tumble quickly in an attempt to change the subject. âOr uhâŚat least you need to make a wish.â
âA wish?â
Finral nodded as he absent-mindedly began looking around. âYeah. You make a wish and blow out the candlesâŚâ His voice trailed before he looked up perplexedly at Yami. âDo we not have any candles?â
Yami gave the kitchen a quick once over before twisting his mouth to the side with a shrug. Luckily, Gordon appeared with a large, white candle from goodness only knows where which would have to do for now.
âUsually the candles go in the cakeâŚâ Finral explained before Vanessa interrupted in confusion.
âIn the cake?â
âWe take them out before we eat it,â he added quickly. âBut we donât have candles that small so weâll just have to use this big one and keep it off to the side.â
Gordon handed Yami a matchbook, and Yami lit the candle before Finral continued his instructions with a reassuring smile. âAlright now close your eyes, make a wish, and blow the candle out.â
Vanessa nodded and closed her eyesâfor a long, long pause. The longer Vanessa kept her eyes closed, the more Finral began to fidget. âDo youâŚdo you think my directions were confusing?â Finral whispered to Yami who just shrugged.
âIs everything alright there?â he asked. Vanessa slowly opened one eye and then, the other. She downcast her gaze and began to twist her hands.
âIâm sorryâŚIâŚâ
âNone of that apologizing,â Yami waved his hand and eyed the vase currently housing those yellow roses as a future apology jar.
âRightâŚumâŚâ Vanessaâs voice trailed. âItâs justâŚyouâve all been so kind. You did all of this for meâŚitâs the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I couldnât wish for anything elseâŚâ
Yami chuckled. âWell itâs your day. Your birthday only comes once a year, a wish for something you want isnât going to hurt anybody.â
Vanessaâs cheeks flushed. âI know. Itâs justâŚâ She paused and looked up at Yami, Finral, and Gordon with a kind smile. âI already have everything I could wish for.â
Yami blinked at her, almost disbelieving that a real person could say something so saccharine with such a genuineness. Vanessa didnât seem to notice how unusual a statement this was and bustled a little as Finral sniffled and Gordon moved towards her with fervid mumbling. âOh umâŚIâŚâ she began as if she was going to apologize again, but it was Finral, in a twist of irony, who motioned for her to stop and interrupted.
âIâm so glad youâre on our squad!â Gordon mumbled something that mustâve been concurrence, and Yami was fairly certain both of those knuckleheads were wiping tears from their eyes as Vanessa stood up from her seat and wrapped her arms around them. Yami shook his head at them, but his face softened. Morons.Â
As Finral wiped his arm across his face and Gordon dabbed at his eyes with a handkerchief, Vanessa smiled up at Yami almost expectantly. Yami blinked at her, but eventually sighed and conceded to joining their group hug, throwing an arm around Gordon and Finral. Vanessa just beamed as she smiled back at her squad mates, and when she met Yamiâs eyes, he couldnât hold back his lopsided grin as he said, âHappy Birthday, Little Birdie.â
Bonus: Epilogue
Once they had somewhat recovered from the soppiness and realized the candle still needed to be blown out, Yami shrugged his shoulders and quipped dryly, âHow about you wish for a chef for this squad so you can have a real birthday cake next year?â
Vanessa smiled brightly, closed her eyes, and made a wish.
Is it just me, or is most of Tumblr sleeping through FE4's birthday this year? Anyway, I remembered, so I suppose an anniversary post is in order! :-)
The reason why I almost religiously celebrate FE4's birthday every year is because it's not only one of the games that defined my taste in video games overall, but also had a lasting impact on my worldview and mindset.
I came across FE4 in a sort of "transition phase", the point when you grow up from a child into an adult, both on a physical and mental level: As a child, you tend to see the world as strictly divided into black and white, good and evil, and the adults as well as the media around me certainly seemed to agree with that. However, at some point, cracks began to appear in this supposedly clear-cut ideology, and upon closer inspection, the borders between black and white looked blurry in reality.
I was beginning to wonder if what I had assumed to be an undisputable truth until now was false - and that's the point when FE4 came into my life. In most fantasy stories, we have a hero and a villain, and at a first glance, this also seems to be the case in FE4 - except that the shining white knight is just as flawed as his adversaries, and some antagonists actually have understandable motives.
FE4 literally dissolves the standard division of good and evil, which, for a story from its time, is very admirable. Instead of larger-than-life heroes, the stars are people and their mistakes, and I would argue that FE4 is not so much about slaying an evil dragon than human psychology.
And the best part: It encourages you to come to your own conclusions. The game doesn't prescribe which characters you're supposed to sympathize with, and within the provided framework, you're free to interpret the story in whatever way you like. That way, every player imbues the story with their own meaning - a quality that makes Genealogy of the Holy War quite unique, and that has undoubtedly contributed to its undying popularity among fans.
As for myself, I would like to dedicate this to the game that has helped me see that there is more than one truth in the world, that has taught me the importance of different perspectives, and that has made me mindful of how the actions of every one of us - myself included - affect the world and the people around us.
Happy Birthday @blindmagdalena! My fellow Virgo â¤ď¸ I wrote this quickly for you.
You deserve so much more for all the wonderful posts and just being a lovely person. Hope you get to relax today. đ đĽ â¤ď¸đ¤đ
Homelander looked down at your pussy, already puffy and dripping in anticipation. Youâd been somewhat surprised when he opened the door to Madelyn, while you were mid-foreplay. But the elegant older woman had always interested you. Also, he was The Homelander, and things generally went his way.
âDonât be shy, sweet boy,â Madelyn said, reassuring hand now sliding over his nude glute. âWhy donât you show your little girlfriend here just how much youâve learned?â
You bit your lip and looked up at him, knowing he was actually overeager but attempting to control himself. âYeah, show me,â you say, words like honey, opening your legs further.
He pursed his lips slightly, you could have sworn there was some sort of perverse pleasure in being lightly bossed around, as long as he was rewarded at the end. After far too long he knelt down, focusing his tongue in long, broad, slow strokes that had you wriggling.
Madelyn watched over you both, expression carefully neutral. She always reserved praise (or distaste) for him sparingly and didnât express without much thought, and this time was no different. As he focused far too much at teasing your labia, you heard ânow, what did we talk about?â
He leaned his head up, with a small whine of disappointment from you. Is he bowing his head?
âI ummm, Iâm supposed to give more attention to the clit.â
âGood boy, thatâs right.â She worked her hand through his hair. âWhy donât you make mommy proud?â
From the look in his eyes when she said it, you suspected he was already attempting to subtly hump the mattress, glute muscles twitching, probably coating himself in pre-cum as she spoke. Madelyn was getting that sight all to herself now, but you took a mental note to file away for later.
Luckily, youâd never been the jealous type. This experience was just exciting, even more so than the times youâd fucked on various rooftops.
He groaned as she guided his head back towards you gently, and started over, not making the mistake of going directly for the clit after a minute of zero stimulation. He started with those broad tongue strokes again, then sucked on your clit as he fingered you. The result was an avalanche. It was all you could do to grasp at the fitted sheet for dear life as you died a little, shuddering and cumming. The fact that she was there watching this made it even hotter, her calculating stare taking you in as you screamed out animalistically.
Finally, after a minute to let you recover, she fluffed his hair again. âSuch a good boy. Next time you can take care of both of us.â You were too out of it to register much more than the click clack of her stilettos and the door shutting behind her.
He seemed to regain some sort of confidence, catching your chin on his hand and forcing you to focus on his bright blue eyes. âThatâs just the first one, sweetheart.â He said with a grin.
OH NO OH GOD,, WHO GAVE THEM A GUN?!?! NOOâđĽđĽđĽ

(song: There's A Cat Licking Your Birthday Cake by ParryGripp)
((extra details for the road;; the text on her bag is supposed to be her name embroidered on but i didn't do it very well (> ^ < " ),, the outfit she's wearing is the cat-ear beanie and a mashup of clothes from the pics she posted in response to me asking about her fashion style (among other questions)!! she's chewing raspberry bubblegum, which she mentioned she bought often in the same post, i wanted to draw her eyes open with a sort of mischevious look but i couldn't get it right and i gave up after trying to redraw it twice â¸(*ËáË*)⸠in the little drawing of the gun itself, the spray-painted turtle head in the background is originally supposed to have its eyes like this đ (but with its eyes crossed out) like on the actual gun, but i put button eyes in its place as a tiny reference to the button eyes series frankie's writing!! go check it out btw its SO cool!!!! i actually struggled SO much with the gun in that perspective, i didn't have a reference to go off of so i just tried to guess which is why it looks so wonky. (oops). the keychain on the strap of her bag is the character toro inoue from doko demo issyo (never played it though) with a bow around his neck, and the last thing is i strugged with the hands SO hard its so embarrassing LMAOO but that's everything i think,, thank you for sticking around and actually reading this huge block of text!! when i first saved this to my drafts it didn't pop up so i panicked but it appeared like 30 minutes later LMFAO,, one last time, go show frankie some love <33))
Hello, witches and wizards are you doing? Sorry Iâm late for posting these photos. I was supposed post this on 31, July. I hope you enjoy the all three pictures of Harry; Happy birthday đđ Harry Potter!! And they go in chronological order of year that I started drawing him. I improved a lot over the three years of me drawing Harry for his birthday just for fun and you could maybe kind of tell how much I improved but I still think I can make more improvements and hopefully next year youâll be able to tell, but anyway, I hope you guys love the drawing.ďżź
All works are temporarily on hold due to a wild fire close to my home.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
â¤ď¸ đ
Update: 10:17am
All I can hear over the street construction for sewer are the echos of sirens in the city. The street construction crews are still working on my street. That tells me we are safe. For now.
Update: 2:40pm
More sirens. The air is thick and heavy with smoke. Burning embers are now hitting my neighborhood. Multiple areas have had small fires start up. We have set up sprinklers and started dousing our property.
Update: 08/19/23 - 2:55pm
The air quality is worse than before. We managed to get to the stores and get supplies to stock our van and camper. Lots of businesses are closed for the weekend, and if not, they close way earlier than before. We are all loaded and ready to go at a moment's notice.
Update: 08/20/23 - 8:10am
The fire has grown to 11,000 hectares as of 7:20pm last night. Over 30,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. A lot of people I know are. Power outages keep happening. The skies are still so smokey, we cannot see the mountains we are very close to. It's hard to see the houses down the street. Fire crews from all over British Columbia have come to our aid, which we are thankful for, even though we have multiple other fires happening in BC. As of yet, I am still lucky enough to be in my home with my family. Rest assured, we are packed and ready to leave when necessary.
On a lighter note, it is my eldest son's birthday today. We hope to make the most of this day. đ â¤ď¸
Update: 08/21/23 - 7:41am
First of all, my son loved his birthday yesterday. He understands what is happening as he's a teenager, so he wasn't expecting a big get-together with the fires happening. He was super happy he got ice cream cake and a whole pizza for himself and one for his best friend who was able to come spend the day with him. We gave him video game programming gear, new keyboard, new headphones, and movie tickets.
Secondly, it looks about the same today as it did yesterday. With the smoke in the air, the sun is red and it's cold outside when it supposed to be warm. Less sirens and one area on the evacuation map (that I noticed) has turned from evacuation now, to alert. It means those people in that area can go home for now, if local law enforcement allows it.
Update: 08/22/23 - 7:20am
I forgot to mention that all airports in our region are grounded and have been for at least two days due to the smoke and ash in thee air. All Canada post mail (to our region) has been put on immediate hold due to safety concerns. This is will definitely put a wrench into other delivery companies as well.
It finally rained last night. It was off and on all night. The smoke has cleared up enough to see the faded outline of the mountains 1 km away from me, finally.
One thing that boggles my mind is that so many people seem not bothered by the wild fires.
⢠The old lady I help was confused as to why I could not come on Friday or Monday. She apparently doesn't believe in getting ready for evacuation unless it actually happens. I have a family of 6, and 2 cats. I have to get all these people ready, as 2 are children, and 2 are seniors. My husband just had hip surgery 3 months ago, so he needs more help than he normally does.
⢠My father ignored my mother's pleas to pack up her things and get ready for the possible evacuation. He's a boomer that used to be a workaholic, and now he's retired and believes it's his God given right to be a lazy slob. So I had to do everything.
⢠The neighbor just gets on his motorbike and decides that going for a ride up the FIRE STRIKEN MOUNTAIN is a good idea.
⢠Other neighbors decided to have a BONFIRE in their back yard, while ash falls from the sky onto their heads.
⢠People in the city had the audacity to fire off FIREWORKS this weekend.
Like, wow.
Update: 08/23/23 - 1:00pm
It rained all night. The skies are clearer and breathable today. More of the red excavation zones have changed to orange alert areas. People are now being allowed back into their homes. Packages and mail has started to arrive today.
Update: 08/24/23 - 7:16am
Yesterday was cool and mildly windy. We have a little more smoke lingering in the air than yesterday, but it's still better than it was on the weekend.
SOOOO I was originally going to wait to post this. Like get more Earth-376 content out before posting this but it's August 10th, guys it's Peter's birthday I legally have to post this today.
So welcome to Earth-376!! Earth-376 is the universe where my Spidersona Webling resides! But this post isn't about them yet we'll come back to them another day.
So in Earth-376 Peter and Tony have a similar relationship of that in fanon Earth-19999 (MCU) but with one major difference Tony has no idea Peter is Spider-Man. Which um brings so interesting problems when both Peter Parker and Spider-Man go missing at the same time.
This drawing takes place after the big events of Earth-376, so post kidnapping. That's why he has a big scar around his neck. We'll come back to that another day. This is supposed to be a happy post, not a post about how Peter is basically the punching bag of Earth-376.
If you're wondering why Peter is leaning I thought it would be fucking hilarious to make Tony short as hell. He is 5'4" in Earth-376. Why? Because it's fucking funny. He also has heterochromia as just a fun detail. He wears matching contacts in public. It's an idea I read in a fic and liked so I added it here.
Peter's shirt says "Never Trust An Atom, They Make Up Everything" it's one of many pun shirts he owns. Hoping to draw others soon. He also doesn't need glasses he just wears them for comfort it's kinda like a security blanket.
I don't see any reason to change it so Earth-376 Peter shares a birthday with Earth-19999 Peter. So happy birthday Peter sorry you were put through hell in this universe đđĽłđđ
I'll talk more about Earth-376 soon!! If you want to read more on it I have my planning docs linked in a highlight on my Instagram and the link is in my carrd!!
I actually have a blog here I plan talk about Earth-376 on which is @earth376 so look out for that soon!!
Bed, Beignets, and Other B Things Sam Wilson Likes
Written for the @samtember2022 prompt: Cake cake cake and of course Sam Wilson's birthday! đ A fuller, spicier version (where the cake pun really comes to life) will be posted to AO3 later, but I wanted to get this posted now that it isn't even September.
Sam's arm fell to the other side of the bed and landed on a warm chest instead of cool sheets. He squeezed his eyes shut for a moment before turning over and sneaking a glance at the man next to him.
Bucky was already awake, but he was still sleep rumpled, impression lines crossing his face and chest, hair a mess. Sam wondered if he could convince him to cut it now. Surely he was more susceptible to the idea when it was all tangled in the morning. Then again, Sam figured if the whole 'your secret identity will be harder to figure out if you cut off your trademark mane' hadn't worked, he didn't think a few knots would either.
"You stayed," he yawned and stretched his arms into Bucky's space.
Bucky's fingers fell across one of Sam's hands. "It's your birthday," he said simply. "Thought I should at least buy you breakfast. Give you a day off."
Sam smiled at the idea. Not hunting down rogue bases and ghost stories was fine by him. It seemed like a lovely day outside. The seasons were actually turning here and there was a crispness he could feel even without opening the window. It made him press closer to Bucky's chest, hiding his head under Bucky's jaw. Bucky's arms went around him, his left arm slow in caution but also because he was laying on it.
"Maybe I like chasing you down," Sam suggested.
"You like pastries more," Bucky pointed out. And that was true. Food in general, but breakfast desserts were a favorite.
"You got any other plans for the day?" Sam asked. "Or are you gonna disappear as soon as I turn my back on you outside?"
"I don't plan on letting you outside," Bucky admitted. "My plans involved getting you in the shower and then back in this bed. Everything else can be ordered in."
Sam hummed. That did sound like a really good plan. "Can I open the window?"
"We're on a fourth floor, so I don't think that many people will be able to hear you. Go for it."
Sam lifted his head enough to watch Bucky's face until it broke into a grin. "Oh, that kind of day in bed, huh?" he asked.
Bucky's fingers moved up Sam's back. "That kind of day in bed," he agreed and turned onto his back, pulling Sam over him as he went. His fingers went back to tracing Sam's spine and Sam tried not to shiver with it. He didn't succeed.
"If you were gonna ask for something today, what would it be?" Bucky asked.
Sam raised an eyebrow and took his own turn to brush his fingers over Bucky's chest--the line of hair traveling down his pecs, a birthmark against his ribs, a scar that Sam weirdly had a matching one to under his collarbone. They'd both gotten them when they were kids, lifetimes before they knew each other or had any shared life experience. Except, Sam supposed, falling out of a tree and hitting every branch on the way down.
"Use pet names today," he decided. "Don't call me Wilson."
"What about--"
"Sam and all your terrible variations are fine," Sam added.
Bucky grinned up at him. "Alright, doll," he agreed. "That one's easy enough to give you." He sat up so they were shoulder to shoulder, chest to chest, hip to hip. It made Sam light-headed and he tilted forward to catch Bucky's mouth on his and also steady himself.
Bucky kissed like he thought it was the last thing he was going to do. Sam refused to consider the legitimacy of that fear. He was intense and excited. Sometimes it felt like running into a brick wall and sometimes he opened up like an endless expanse of soft lips and searching hands. Sometimes the brick wall came down between them, and then tilted forward for extra kisses, with a hand on Sam's chest, pushing him back.
"Wait, wait," Bucky panted and then took another three kisses. "Shower first," he encouraged. "I have a plan for today."
"What about food?" Sam asked.
Bucky grinned at him and it made Sam's stomach turn over in the most desirable way. "Well, I'm gonna eat," he said oh-so innocently. "But I don't know how long it's gonna take, so I figured we could order in later."
Sam was nodding before Bucky even finished talking. "Yeah, alright," he agreed, pulling Bucky into another kiss.
He was expecting it when Bucky stood and lifted him in the same motion, but it still made him go light headed all over again.
"Happy birthday, baby," Bucky breathed against Sam's chest, where he seemed to be trying to kiss his way to Sam's heart.
"Yeah," Sam agreed dazedly. "And here's to many more."
"Well you've still got to get through this one," Bucky teased.
Sam shivered and curled his arms around the back of Bucky's neck. He kind of thought this wouldn't be such a bad way to go. But he was fully planning on doing this again next year.
