Smth like met jay at party n he can't stop thinkin' how to get her?

EVERYONE GATHER AROUND WHILE I EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIC REQUESTS AND HARD THOTS/DRABBLES!!

firstly, i see this as a fic request, which I don't do so...

what's the difference?

hard thots and drabbles: a thought from you shared with me to either talk about or expand on. hard thots and drabbles don't typically require build up in responses, and are usually plotted by you in a sentence of general ideas.

example of a hard thot / drabble: you send me: "can't stop imagining jay as your best friend who gets really jealous when you're around his friends. he ends up cornering you while drunk and trying to kiss you." or "what if jake was the type to cry while eating you out because he's so desperate?"

there is no need for build up because the sentence alone sets the scene. that's what makes it a hard thot/drabble.

a fic request is a general prompt that requires me as a writer to create the entire scenario, personalities, and backstory. it cannot be written in under a certain amount of words because you're asking me to write something based off of a trope with no other ideas from you.

examples of fic requests: you send me "sunghoon as your next door neighbor?" or "jake just broke up with his gf and y/n shows up!" or this ask.

there is a need for me build up the idea you're sending me, i can't just jump into a smutty instance without explaining the context of it first. that's what makes it a fic request.

the reason i see this ask as a fic request which again, i do not do, is because it is a loose idea in your head, and you're putting it into mine to flesh out and write. no indication of smut, just a simple "jay can't stop thinking of how to get reader after meeting her."

this will mean i need to write why he wants her, what their relationship is, when will he see her again, how he will get her, and then what would happen after.

if i have to write a who, why, what, when, where, and how, it's a fic request.

aaaaaaand, in my head, that's how i determine which asks to answer as a hard thot/drabble versus the ones i straight up decline.

thanks for coming to my sj talk.

Thinking about taking a tiny little COTF posting break to work on some other things. Got hit with the inspiration stick to do a mini series I will affectionately call Missing Moments, where I basically provide all the life updates on the other beloved Briars since they have been left in the dust they have been waiting so patiently for me to get back to them 🥹.

Also wanted to do some Quinn gameplay as well 🙂‍↕️☝🏾

AITA for banning my husband and father in law from the delivery room due to their intensely stressful/creepy behavior during my pregnancy?

There’s a famous Reddit post from 2020 where a pregnant woman wrote that her husband and father-in-law were a little too comfortable with their certainty that she was absolutely going to die in childbirth just like her husband’s late mother. It was to the point where her FIL was insisting that she go ahead and put all her clothes into storage, because she was obviously going to die in the hospital and it would save them the grief of packing up her things afterwards. Like. It was WILD.

When I tell my husband [that she feels suspicious of her FIL], he calls me paranoid, but I feel like my FIL WANTS me to die; his whole life identity for the past 35 years has been “amazing single dad” (never dated or had close friends or even hobbies really), and it seems like he’s looking forward to being able to guide my husband through what he went through. At this point, I’d honestly be happy to never see my FIL again, and I certainly don’t want him in the delivery room, especially since he told me he was “putting [his] foot down” about me not being “allowed” to have an epidural…. My husband, in addition to backing his dad on everything, acts like my due date is my death date, and has completely pulled away from me.

The commenters (and me, honestly) were convinced that the husband and FIL were either going to kill her outright to fulfill this expectation, or just make decisions about her care that might conveniently let her die.

And then she never posted again.

Over the last four years, people have frequently mentioned that post, always leading to a thread of people saying, “Oh god, I still worry about that woman.” I did too. It became one of those famous unresolved posts that people always wondered about.

Until yesterday, when someone on r/BestOfRedditorUpdates dug up a 2022 update she had posted on a different account:

TLDR; I had a beautiful and healthy baby girl, and I divorced my ex-husband. I lived, obviously.

She writes that she put her foot down about having her own mother in the delivery room rather than her FIL (!), and she WOULD be getting an epidural. Her husband lost his shit. And in his outburst, he let slip--

I admittedly lost my temper, and told him that I wasn’t going to die- it wasn’t my fault his father’s trauma wormed it’s way into his head, and that he needed to fix it without taking it out on me. He yelled at me that he didn’t need therapy. That caught me a little off guard; I asked him why he went to his therapist and was given advice about my death if he felt he didn’t need it. His expression gave it away, and he caved not long after. It turns out there was no therapist. It was just his dad. During the times he was supposed to be at therapy, he was with his dad. I’m still fuming.

And that was when she got the fuck out.

I’ll wrap this up- I’ve got an adorable little toddler tugging at my leg atm. I’m alive, I’m happy, and I’ve got my baby in my arms. Life is good.

I truly never thought we'd see a resolution to this, and I feel like there's probably a good number of people who remember it, so I thought you might want to know.

ETA: Brilliantly, I put the link in at the top; here it is again for convenience.

ISRAEL HAVE STARTED BOMBING RAFAH! THE PLACE THEY INSISTED WAS A SAFE REFUGE FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAZA! ALL EYES ON RAFAH!

[adorkastock]

DeviantArt used to be the place I put new poses up three times a week. It was the best place to get consistent updates of new poses from me.

BUT NOW! I have a self-hosted gallery on AdorkaStock.com 🥰 It's a WIP (and there's a lot of work to do) but I like having my poses on my own site. 😌

You can sign up for my newsletter and get an email digest of new poses each week or once a month so you don't have to always remember to go check for what's new. My long term goal is to have this gallery completely replace my DA archive. Reasons for this move include: - DA's enthusiastic support for AI - DA removing categories making it nearly impossible to search for CC licensed images - not being beholden to DA's future random TOS and API changes

Your support helps with this goal. ♥ Ways to support: - Share my work with other artists! - Support me on Patreon for just $1/mo - Shop my Kofi store for pose ref packs and merch Get all my links at my Link Hub. 🥰 Thanks so much for your support and happy drawing!
