False God with Aemond 🙏🧎🏽‍♀️

-

Since getting wed, Aemond had converted into a new religion and was very devoted to his new god. Your bodies were rolling in the sheets, rarely ever leaving your sacred oasis. Although it wasn’t necessarily the goal, it was impossible he hadn’t put a babe into you.

He had made your hips his altar, reciting his most meaningful prayers as you gripped the sheets tightly.

Not many husbands lick their lady-wife's cunt. Most settle for penetration-only sex. Although nice, penetration itself doesn't guarantee an orgasm for the woman. Oral does. When frequenting brothels with his brother, Aemond had quickly learned that if you touch a woman right, you can make her cum many many times.

A cry left your lips as the prince wrapped his lips on your clit, sucking it and making your eyes roll all the way to the back of your head from the pure stimulation. The intense pleasure was making your brain foggy.

‘’Oh gods- That feels so good.’’

Although Aemond wasn’t the one receiving, he did get some pleasure out of it. He loved seeing you react, seeing you squirm and moan and whimper – and sometimes scream. It spurred him on, turned him on.

You grabbed one of your breasts and kneaded the flesh, feeling the slickness between your legs get wetter.

‘’Mmh, you’re so wet it’s dripping down my chin,’’ Aemond said, his mouth lifting from your clit for a short seconds then dragging a fingertip along your folds, making you gasp as he pushed a long, slender finger into you.

You heard the squelching of your wetness, the dirty sound causing a smug smile to split on the Targaryen prince’s lips. He was in awe that he could elicit this kind of reaction from you – and frankly, so were you. He always thought the women at the brothels were talking shit, that women couldn’t unfold like that and be this turned on just from dexterous fingers and a skilled mouth.

Aemond added a second finger once he felt your muscles relax, mewls spilling from your lips as his two fingers twisted into you, crooking upwards exactly the way you liked.

‘’Yes, yes,’’ you moaned over and over, feeling another orgasm crest.

You had lost track of the count between the seventh and tenth orgasm – and Aemond was showing no signs of being done with you. The women at court would be jealous of the things your husband did to you in bed, jealous of of the mind blowing sex you and him have been having – how much you were having.

So far, the wed life was fucking great.

Aemond looked up at you – your skin flushed from all your activities, lips parted and soft whimpers leaving them, the sapphire necklace he had gifted you resting atop of your perfect breasts. Aegon might be the heir to the throne, but he had wed the fairest lady in the whole Seven Kingdoms.

[felcote]

just wanted to say again tysm you’re an awesome mutual too!

also how have you been enjoying totk so far :0

HII MUTUAL TYSM!! I've been enjoying totk SO much this game is crazy, its different but familiar enough with botw that I was able to really apply my 400+ hours of botw experience without making the game a complete pushover, if anything it just made me confident in what botw and totk shared. I really enjoy totks difficulty, it feels about as unforgiving as botws master mode but obviously not in the same ways, a nice challenge without it becoming maddening 💥

Spoiler for folks who haven't played + essay, has to do with Zelda. Fave part of the game

This game is. FUCKING holy shit. The draconification of Zelda was so well executed it's easily my favorite sequence in this entire game so far, I remember in the moment during the whole transformation of this massive pit of dread in my stomach, a similar feeling to what I got upon seeing Vicar Amelia's beasthood in bloodborne, just without the blood. That whole cutscene tbh made me weep for a while, the dragon tear pool being surrounded by silent princess flowers was a gut punch on top of that.

I'd noticed the extra dragon super early, Zeldadragon was visible circling the temple of time at the very start of the game, and thorought the game even after Zelda was chucked into the past and dubbed sage of time I didn't truly put two and two together until the memory where Zelda talks to Rauru's sister (I forgot her name sorry all women). My first guess nefore learning anything was they were going to pull in twilight princess somehow, I'd seen the golden mane and whatnot, the plot made up for the disappointment they weren't going in that direction, I miss Midna

Idk, totk and Zeldadragon did so well in making me dread during the lead up, they're putting this white girl through the damn HORRORS. The light dragons design is also super killer, I've always been a huge enjoyer of the dragon designs, learning where they'd come from was also a huge cherry on top like hellooooo I love you fucked up beasthood 😍😍😍

Another sequence was also getting the master sword, seeing it stuck in her head like was clued me in what I had to do, but when I stepped onto Zeldadragon, tbh I just kind of stayed a while to gather up the confidence in both my incomplete stamina wheel at the time and the correctly assumed thought that it'd hurt her. It did, emotional dragon rodeo was awesome

Obvious now I love everything about the Zelda draconification thing, the lead up, design, its so crazy. I'm really glad I went into this game as blind as I did and bought it at such a discount. I'm gonna yank Zeldadragon's design into a inspiration pool for an oc design, its so awesome

One Piece: Amazon Lily Arc

Kizaru tore through the pirate Captains and their cfews without abandon. SHe watched as the Supernovas did their best to fight the strange giant humans. Light flshed so brightly she had to cover her eyes. A loose growl in her throat as she used her zoan form to leap from her hiding place atop the giant mangrove. Landing on her feet she dodge an oncoming blast of fire as a Marine company sent a volley of bullets her way. Each movement she did required all of her enhanced reflexes, Only when she went sailing over the edge, though, did she truly know fear. --- The Amazon Lily Arc, whoa! WE got this far! Luffy is sent flying after a moment of pure gut- wrenching despair. His body is struck by the power of Kuma's Nikyu Nikyu no Mi and on his way at high speed through the air. After he strikes the ground we find him in the one place perhaps he shouldn't be. Amazon Lily, home to the all-cisfemale (YES I AM INCLUDING OKAMA and NEWKAMA IN THIS ASSESSMENT!) Kuja Tribe. We get to meet Marguerite and her friends as they discover poor Luffy after he stupidly consumes a parasitic mushroom. Bouncing forward and skipping over the anime dick jokes with the Kuja, what is most important here is how Luffy reacts. He wakes up, freaks out and yet as he gets chased he doesn't intentionally try to ruin a bunch of stuff. Instead, he nearly dies and get's saved by Marguerite while her friends, Sweet Pea, and Aphelandra do their best to support her. A few things about the Kuja I like. One yes, some have the pretty curvy designs of the typical One Piece women, but many also have pretty different body types. WE see broad-chested women, short, plump and more. Plus, yes, they all wear bikini's in a pretty blunt manner which is all the better when Luffy ignores everything. I love how Luffy is easily this lovable Ace motherfucker who just wants to make people happy. Now skipping through all the shenanigans Boa Hancock comes in after turning entire Marine Crew to Stone. After Luffy pops into her bath and sees her back she flips out (with good reason). The Snake Princess is shown in parts of this arc as cold and distant. Her looks and her fruit make people love her without any really deeper feeling. They see her as an object, and this makes her painful backstory all the worse. Plus I wanna say that I love her sisters, Sonia is just a fucking darling. And, Marigold is just this awesome fat goddess who can kick serious ass. The scene after they take over Luffy's execution after he defeats their giant panther is, funny and interesting. It sets up the Boa sisters as cold, and brutal. They use their Haki to easily defeat and toy with Luffy. When they move to smash the stone forms of Marguerite, Sweetpea and Aphelandra I was calling for Luffy to destroy them. There is a point to this brutality though, the sisters have been shaped by their society which forbids men, and they were tortured. So just as Luffy first unleashes a mega Conqueror's Haki burst and soundly starts kicking their asses I cheered loudly for him. One Piece is a show I can just watch for Hours and just feel good about. With gusto! I was lost in writing when I saw Sonia knocked toward the sharpened spikes and heard how her mark would be exposed. Seeing Luffy just leap onto Sonia's back even after she eagerly threatened to smash one of her own people was a clincher for why I love him. Wait no, it was him say, yup fuck my freedom, save your people please! Yeah, Luffy has a level of goodness that just makes me feel better. Boa Hancock's Backstory So, I didn't go much into my feelings on the Celestial Dragons, but lets ignore the fact that they are literal caricatures of what rick people really do! SO. All three young girl were captured as cabin girls on their own ship and then branded with the "Dragon's Claw". Let that sink in, these were young teens sold into slavery for some monsters. I swear if these fuckers were wearing crosses and were part of a mega-church or even a republican meeting! Yup, the girls got away after they were experimented on and wow. The amount of trauma they all went through and the fact they can still lead a country is pretty impressive. All of the stories and the coldness they show to their people is kind of explained in their trauma. Honestly, I am so glad they ran with how blunt the story was. Because any other idiot would have turned this into a tragic villain scene. Instead, we got a scene that shows us how a ruler can easily become distant from her own people. If they show weakness they think the people will turn on them. Damn, you think that the kids making a homemade statute would prove the opposite. I think the dissonance I felt as I watch them threaten to smash Marguerite versus revealing their trauma was surreal. It really shows how much emotional distant and masking the three do. All to maintain the false story of the Gorgon Sisters. Preparing For Impel Down After Hancock acquiesce to Luffy's request to save (and yes I realize I'm skipping a plot beat or two) she gets a pretty thorough verbal comment from Granny Nyon. As Luffy prepares to leave Hancock becomes suddenly sick. WE learn that all of Luffy's compassion has given her reason to fall head over heels in love with him. This was a bit of a weird scene, that her cold heart would come to fixate so much she could die outside his presence. The scenes where we see Luffy and her traveling aboard the ship alone was strange. Hancock's lovesickness seems a bit out of left field for me, I would have preferred if it was a little less sudden. Now,  know beforehand she had a thing for Luffy. Hell, I even tried to find a few fanfics that played around the relationship. The problem is I couldn't find any really shorter than 50k words that kept my interest. Please don't blame me that I prefer Nami and Luffy. Please note, I headcanon Luffy as a nonbinary ace hero. Overall This setting does a good job of showing more abilities derived from Haki. The idea that up until now we've barely seen it becomes more realistic as it seems it's not a widely practice gift outside of the New World. Sentamarou was a master of Armament Haki and it appears the Kuja use it as well to empower their attacks. This was a decent continual show of what Haki can achieve and it was a nice way to show how Devil Fruits can be defeated by Haki users. If Luffy didn't have his experience in battle he wouldn't have dodged all those Kuja arrows. If he didn't have Second Gear, he wouldn't have defeated Sonia or Marigold without it really. The increased speed was the only way he really got around Sonia's observation Haki and the increased velocity for his strikes assisted him against Marigold. This is a big change from when we first saw a certain annoying Skypeian using "Mantra" (Satori) against Sanji. Or hell, Shank's in episode one from the get-go. Conclusion This Arc focused on Luffy regaining a sense of hope. Watching him break down in Saobody when everyone disappeared was nerve-wracking. As someone who has felt a sense of despair, I will never reach Luffy's level. The poor kid loses his entire found family and finds out his brother is to die not long after. The actual way they emphasized each disappearance by Kuma by a bubble popping was tightened the anxiety I felt as I watched. Switching suddenly to something a bit more filled with hope was a nice change of pace. I say hope because both Hancock and Luffy brought it to each other. Luffy brought about the physical beating of two Celestial Dragons. Plus saving a friend of his from slavery ups the reality of how much Hancock can show some trust. Hancock, on the other hand, and as she treats her people better gives Luffy stability. It also seemed to give him time to remember his crew wasn't dead. They were all just sent flying everywhere. A pause to recover from watching everyone almost die. Hottakes:

That poor giant boar at the beginning, he deserved better.

The entire scene with Luffy being considered a girl was, so weird for me.

Like I was happy that the girls were like "ah yes another woman", but then the mushroom jokes and body washing. eeeww.

Mageurite deserves a bigger part in a side story, watching her help Luffy was interesting.

Sweatpea was a fucking amazing bean.

Aphelandra really shows how people in One Piece can be super tiny or fucking giants, and NOT BE ACTUAL GIANTS.

Momonga, wtf is up with the naming of this world.

The Mero-Mero no Mi is such a weird fruit, it's a fruit that creates a great sense of attraction and can turn people to stone if they have lewd thoughts.

THE FUCK ODA?!

The snake forms on Sonia and Margold into big titty nagas, shows that furries are well loved in ONe Piece.

I like how they are emphasizing this weird sort of fated pairing of Luffy almost in a folkloric way. He and her have Conqueror's Haki which is pretty damn rare.

Hancock needs a good Polyam ship with Vivi and Nami.

Robin would adore Amazon Lily since it appears to have constant sense of archaeological history.

Things that happen at home:

So, youngest sibling and I have “sister dates” that started before they came out and we’ve just never called the “dates” anything else. But basically it’s just the two of us alone together and we do whatever youngest sibling wants about once a month. Lunch but we play on our phones half the time? Fine. Watch the entire How to Train Your Dragon franchise in a weekend? Been there, done that. They binge watched all of vampire diaries and the originals and wanted to start in on Legacies, about…six months ago? but that’s the only real hard no I’ve ever given. Our relationship is mostly built on the fact that I want to be in the same room as people but not actually interacting (I’m lonely but socializing is exhausting) and as long as youngest is being left entirely to their own devices, they don’t actually care.

Now. I work in construction, and before that I worked in the motorcycle industry, so like. I’ve spent the last 12 or so years working predominantly with men. (The few women that I have worked with are honestly pretty awesome, but this isn’t about them.)

The point is that when dudes get comfortable because they think you’re a “bro” or the forget your not actually one of “the guys” or they see micro aggressions and their dad mode kicks in…it’s actually pretty helpful.

So, me and Youngest are kind of wandering in the downtown are of our city (there were a few sport bars between the restaurant we ate at and where I was able to find free parking) and a random dude grabbed youngest siblings hand and was just sort of holding it…like clearly turned about, stuck his hand out to introduce himself, and youngest is being polite and shakes the hand. And then Dude did not let go.

Now. I personally know, because I’ve had it explained to me by a biker with three daughters, that the trick is to (as the male) take your free hand and trap the woman’s hand between the palms and start giving vague compliments or continue whatever conversation was going. Because the idea is that a woman will feel impolite or as if she’s not being accommodating if they take their hand back where a man normally would.

The bikers point was that he saw me being uncomfortable because someone wouldn’t let go of my hand after a hand shake and made a point to tell me about this specific “trick” and ever since then I’ve made it a point to rip my hand away quickly and violently if necessary (some men believe in a firm hand shake that actually hurts, but some do try the actual trick and I make a show of ripping my hand away, tuck my hand behind my back, and then smile and carry on the conversation as if nothing happened…no actual data if better treatment actually happens…)

Anyway! Youngest and I are meandering back to the car but we’re both kind of on our phones and a guy who is clearly part of the spill out crowd from a sports bar has…captured my sibling, who was having a “female” day.

And I get about ten feet before I realize that Youngest isn’t beside me anymore, look up from my phone, turn, and realize that not only is the most socially awkward person I’ve ever met in my life stuck in the Polite Handshake Trap, but it’s literally right outside a bar where a bunch of spots dudes are clearly wanting to get i.

My best description of the feeling that came over me was along the lines of “Absolutely The Fuck Not” and like…my fingers were tingly, my gut clenched up, and everything just sort of…narrowed into just the clasped hands…that was the physical sensation.

What I actually did was storm over, slap the top hand of the hand shake (which was his) grab my sibling, scream “she’s FIFTEEN” in his face (I remember this part) and then proceeded to angry drag my sibling for tow blocks and an ally shot cut. (That part I don’t remember…in my mind we got to the car immediately)

Anyway. The handshake trick has been adequately explained to youngest. Solutions have been discussed. Also I’m not allowed to yank on or pull my sibling that hard/fast ever again unless it’s an actual “shit is on fire” emergency ever again. So.

✨Hypermarket Superstore Au✨

Basically all of them work at a superstore- something kind of like Fred Myers 💀 lots of drama happens.

(This au underminds all mythology and the LmK lore btw 💀)

Basically MK has most of the jobs no one wants 💀 Shopping cart collected, shelf restocker, grocery bagged, and he also is forced to clean the bathrooms and messes in isles as well 💀 BUT he always has a great attitude and aspires to become one of the store’s assistant managers or whatever because he needs some kind of character goal and I thought it was funny.

Funnily enough, one of the store managers is Wukong, who literally doesn’t do much at all, but still has somewhat of a good reputation lolol. MK is aspired to be as awesome as him (for whatever reason) xD

Pigsy works at the deli, and Tang is another assistant manager as well as a cashier. Tang makes announcements a lot even if they are unnecessary. He’ll literally shout out an employee’s birthday over the intercoms lmfao- Tang “wanders” of to the deli a lot to chat up Pigsy and hope to convince the pig to give him free food.

RedSon is new and works in the flower/plant area. Alone he seems super gentle and caring with the plants he takes care of and pots but when Mk begins to try and get to know him he turns out to be a little short tempered and easily flustered. They totally end up crushing over each other and all the employees know and tease Mk about it.

RedSon’s parents own the store chain 💀 go figure- he just wanted to prove himself and get his own job. He loves flowers 🥺

Chang’e works at the fucking bakery ofc-

The Mayor is a loss prevention associate. He basically watches the store through cameras and every now and then walks around the store to watch out for shoplifters or anyone else doing illegal things. He also just like to walk around, watch people, cause drama among other employees and mess with Macaque 😛

LBD is the store manager because women in suit with power hehehe.

Macaque works in the little Coffe shop (Starbucks or whatever) inside the superstore. He and Wukong are Exes or just rivals with romantic tension lmfao. Wukong randomly picks fights with Macaque and goes over to the coffee place to cause trouble or accuse Macaque of causing mischief or trouble in the store and Macaque just mocks him and sometimes flirts to fluster the other.

Mei works at the electronic/gaming department and usually chills and plays her music on the Bluetooth speakers lmfao- she’s also a vlogger and records and blogs random shot going down at the store and usually posts it 💀 (insert video of Wukong and Mac in fistfight)

Yin and Jin work at customer service for some god forsaken reason.

Nezha is kinda the angsty cashier and bagger 💀💀 , he also stocks shelves time to time. He’s tired of everyone’s shit.

Sandy works in the flower/plant area too. I was tempted to make him a barista at the coffee shop but i thought it’d be cute to see the gentle giant working with flowers and shit. He also has a cat named Mo who lives in the garden area of the store. He just showed up one day and Sandy instantly fell in love with the little guy and begged Wukong to let him keep him there. Wukong ofc let him.

I’m making Bai He Macaque’s little cousin or niece because i thought it’d be cute if he watched her when her parents were busy. She’s just chill at the coffee shop and color or watch shows, and everyone at the store loves her because she’s precious.

Demon accountant is the gal who makes sure everything is accounted for and stuff. She’s basically the inventory control specialist. Added her in for some more drama lol-

You know the cute little dragon clan attendant Mei locked in a closet that one episode? Well I’m adding her too! And she works in the seafood department because I’m evil hahaha! Anyway Mei flirts with her time to time cause why not-

Spider Queen works in the jewelers addon section of the store. She’s dramatic and a little nosy, but her and Macaque get along quite well. (They’re gossip buddies along with Chang’e 💅)

Huntsman is like a shipment guy. He gets all the weekly shipments to the certain sections of the store they need to go. He’s kinda grumpy, but has a soft spot for Bai He (who doesn’t) and also (though he won’t admit) for Sandy 😝

Syntax works in the fucking pharmacy department because DRUGS

Scorpion queen works in the clothing department. She just wants a friend 🥲

Anyway I probably forgot someone but these are the IMPORTANT peeps lol

[memento-morri-writes]

Hi Morri! I'm sorry that your mom was positive, I hope she gets the least symptoms possible (I passed covid as well, so I hope her and my experience are close, since I was almost asymptomatic)

I've seen that one of your comfort movies is The Princess Bride!! It's my mom's favorite, and we even have it on DvD so that she can watch it as many times as she'd like. (Honestly, I watch it a lot cause...It's a great movie ngl)

Since we are all talking about Six of Crows (as well, awesome book, great taste), have you read or heard about The Gilded Wolves?? It has definitely similar vibes in terms of heist and characters, but it's on an alternate 19th Paris. I'd say is sort of steampunk with magic<3

Also I am very much on board with your book recommendations, you know I'm always looking for new books to read and since you have such a great taste, I'd love it if you could tell me a couple of your favorites...

Right now I'm reading When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhil, a novel about women in the 1950's who turn into dragons when they feel opressed (so basically feminism with a layer of metahpor, which is cool, cause who wouldn't want to turn into a dragon and unleash anger??)

I'm here if you need someone to talk to, no matter what it is, I'm sure we can figure out a topic of conversation to distract you from everything that's going on

take care, my love<3

-@ink-fireplace-coffee

Hi Carmen!!!

The Princess Bride is one of my all-time favorite movies! If you like it, you should definitely watch Stardust. It's kind of similar (goofy fantasy romance movie), and I love it dearly. Magic, flying pirates, romance, and comedy. And lots and lots of ghosts. I highly recommend it!

Funnily enough I heard of The Gilded Wolves for the first time a few minutes ago, from @nicola-writes. It's most definitely going on my "books to buy" list.

Some of my favorite books:

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein a woman pilot and a woman spy (who are best friends) accidentally end up in each other's places during WWII.

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel the before, during, and after of a world-ending illness, and the story of how one person's passion project connected many, many lives.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir Science based science fiction, with the best take on extraterrestrial life I've ever seen in media. (it actually makes fucking sense!!)

The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones a fairytale-esque story based on welsh mythology. the dead won't stay dead, and a gravedigger and a mapmaker are going to fix it.

Vicious by V.E. Schwab a super-powers story where no one is "good" or "evil". also the only piece of media I've ever seen that has a logical explanation for not only who gets powers, but also why they get what powers.

The Illuminae Files by Aimee Kaufman and Jay Kristoff a sci-fi trilogy told entirely via collected documents. (message logs, transcript of security videos, etc.) sarcasm, lovable characters, and some found family in a way.

If you plan to read any of these, please look up the trigger warnings!! All of these have some pretty dark themes.

[felsdumpsterfire]

Heya! So I've been scrolling through your previous posts and I want to say that your stuff is awesome.

Also, what gods or mythological figures would you like to see in the near future? I personally would like to see someone with the powers of the Lernaean Hydra or Chimera.

Ooooo! OK, so, I'd personally, I doubt they will, but I'd adore it if they added Mesoamerican gods. I think that those gods in particular would have a really cool dynamic with their humans tbh; like, I can imagine Huitzilopochtli (Weet-zee-lo-poct-li for anyone who has a hard time pronouncing Aztec words lmao) would be drawn to someone who has a fire to them and wants to make a change- maybe even someone who defends others from the cruel- he was the war, sun, and god of sacrifice, so someone who has had to sacrifice something important of theirs to get to where they are now would most likely be chosen by him (do I already have an oc based off of this idea??? Of fucking course, I'm a ho, duh).

And someone chosen by the Mayan Moon goddess, Ixchel (pronounced Ishchel), would most likely be gentle and perhaps someone that has or is currently surviv(ed/ing) an abusive relationship, because goddamn she understands. So, she'd def be more inclined towards people in that situation, especially feminine presenting people because, well, she's was also believed to be tied to women's life cycles so-

Again, I doubt they will because, well, Mesoamerican lore is, not only, a little hard to get ahold of and read from reliable sources sometimes but also, they were more.... brutal, by today's definition. So I'm a little afraid of them kind of... buttering the gods- they haven't done that to any of the gods or heroes I've seen as of yet! But, like, I just... look, media that does portray them does a rather lackluster job *stares at Fate Grand Order and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid*

But anyway, I also reeeeeaaaaallly hope they bring Achilles and Patroclus into the fold too AND ODYSSEUS, maybe Gawain and some of the Green Knight (those two had me fucking DEAD when we read their story in high school).

ALSO THE CHIMERA AND HYDRA WOULD BE SO COOL, LIKE, DRACONIC CHARACTERS ARE ALWAYS SO FUCKING C O O L-

[slowdripsunrise]

yippee more reading !!!! spoilers for lone women by victor lavalle under the cut!

ohhh my lord this book was so good. the atmosphere, the characters, the plot !!!!!!!! this is one of those stories where the setting/landscape really feels integral or like another character... if this story had taken place anywhere else, it wouldn't have been the same at all. the cold montana winds and mountains and just. flatness was perfect. the darkness. the imagery of a single light out on the plains in the dark. wonderful amazing showstopping i love her she was brutal. as for the actual characters, i loved all the characters the audience was supposed to love, and hated all the characters the audience was supposed to hate oml the reeds. fuck them jfc like the very quiet subtlety of mrs. reed at first like how. above it all she seemed from the jump even as she was positioned as a community focused figure in the beginning... there's always something off with extremely small town rich white women... and sam.... and elizabeth... and adelaide and birdy and fiona and grace and ough...... theres so much more i have to say but i cant keep my thoughts in a straight line about it so ill try to be coherent but. no promises. anyways i totally loved the ending as well... at first i thought it was going in a kind of lindwrym direction through the power of sisterly and familial love but. honestly i think i like it better that elizabeth just stayed as a dragon and entertained the kids in the new town like thats so fucking awesome i love that. imagine your sister being a dragon its fucking awesome. and i'm glad that adelaide learned to love her sister as she is through all of these other women who are also seen as outcasts and queer folk. grace who murdered her husband and has a imo adhd coded trans son (also thought it was funny and very very relevant and fitting that the conservative rich lady was pretty chill with murder and not with letting her child be happy. like yeah man thats it right there) birdy who was one of two black people in town, one of one living black person, before adelaide arrived, and was dating a young chinese woman. all outcasts, all with their own burdens, and adelaide found them through her sister and her stuggles, and herself and her need for connection. going back to the landscape, one of my fav scenes was when adelaide and fiona were traveling through glendale (if that's what it's called icr and i havent seen it spelled lol) and how eerie and creepy that was, how it was never really explained, and how ig shit like that just happens in montana. like yeah ill believe that. also probably part of the reason why everyone was so ready to believe that theres a flying monster out on the plains killing people. also supported by the fact that allegedly a black woman summoned it. but either way i had a really good time listening to the audiobook, the narrator did a fantastic job and i ate that shit up. 5/5 creepy as fuck and i liked it

[danganronpasurvivoraskblog]

Rpg Anon: Wait wait wait wait wait wait.... I think I just suddenly know what Persona to give Miu. Someone that I knew quite well but slipped my mind until now. Someone that ain't actually a goddess (tho she was hailed as the goddess of sovereignty) but I personally believe is equal to or even possibly more a sex-minded person than Miu herself.

Queen Medb.

I'll just list everything I want to say in a somewhat random order:

1.She literally has a real-life river called Medb's Water, named after her period. 2. She literally had like 47 lovers/husbands and needed like 6 men every night to satisfy her. (or just one guy named Fergus who similarly need 6 women). 3. She became queen and issued a rule where no one can be her king unless they slept with her first. 4. In FGO, her ultimate attack is literally her running you over with her chariot, kidnapping you, and then legit raping you until you have brain damage. Regardless of whether you're male, female, a giant dragon, an eldritch abomination, or etc, she's fucking you and you just have to take it. 5. Also in FGO, she not only was happy to be called a bitch in heat by her opponent but she was literally summoned as a Rider Class not because of her chariot, but because of you know what. She takes pride in this shit.

and here's a weird story: The Ulster Cycle, the bloodiest war in Celtic Mythology, was caused by Medb. Why? All because of a literal holy fucking cow. (No this is NOT going the bestiality route). To abridge it, Medb and one of her harem members were competing to see how much Stud Cows they had. Yes, Stud Cows, as in they had lots of sex with other cows and had lots of baby cows. Medb wasn't winning so she told some foreign king who apparently got a stud cow from the heavens that she would offer him sex if he gave her the cow. He said no. You can see where this went.

and one last thing before I go. This has nothing to do with sex. Medb was killed eventually cuz someone literally throw cheese at her when she was showering. the piece of cheese literally and apparently pierced thru her skull like a sniper headshot in a fps game. Blood and everything flying everywhere. This is fucking hilarious to me.

//You know what I think would make this even more hilarious but also super cool?

//What if this Persona took a similar form to Johanna where it's some kind of vehicle, like a bike or a chariot?

//Because then it's user would be riding it.

//Plus, given Miu's technological and engineering association, I think having that kind of Persona would be awesome.

The Sleeping Beauty Paradox

Or how feminism in media got twisted enough it ended up hating women.

Aurora IS my favorite disney princess.

I relate to her and her situation a lot, she has an awesome aesthetic, and the music for the movie was written by Tchaikowski. What else could you ask for, really ?

Yet, everytime I said that to people in real life, their first instinct is to scoff it off. Society has shamed people into not loving Aurora. Because she's a victim.

If you need one proof of the overwhelming rape culture and victim blaming, don't look further. There's a similar problem with Snow White albeit less pronunced.

The feminism wave from the 80s set precedent. Feminists wanted more representation for women who fought for themselves, women that looked like them, that had a chance to have an impact on the world and strongly took it. It was a good idea in a world where all women in media were meek, helpless and soft.

But somehow it ended up in mysogynistic movies only allowing women in if they were strong independant warriors. There is no more room for victims, seen as too stereotypical.

Somehow, it ends up in us all who grow up in a situation we have no control whatsoever in, are abused and can't find a way to escape or don't even realize it with how deep the abuse runs, feeling guilty about not being strong and fighting out of it.

Aurora, just like Cinderella and Snow-White, was trapped in a situation she could not escape, and yet did her best to stay sweet and kind and true to herself, not letting her isolement and lack of freedom (not counting the numerous things her guardians lied to her about probably with no subtelty) make her bitter. That is a show of strength that we often overlook. Not all of us can do that.

Critics now describe her as naive and clueless, which is a little expected from someone who was raised in full isolement. Yet it looks like it's a high crime in the hyperfeminist mindset. There's no one out there being angry at her parents or guardians. They were trying to save her, they say, as if it's an excuse. Considering they failed, it's really not.

But a lot of people scoff at Aurora for being naive, and waiting for a prince to come save her. She didn't. She didn't realize she needed to be saved, so that's not what she wished for. She wished to not be alone, to find true love, a soulmate who'd love her unconditionally from the first sight. Naive or not, she found it. Philip loved her at first sight, not caring about what background she comes from, and that's what she needed. She did nothing wrong with him either. In a slut shaming society, let us remind everyone that even if they were soulmates and believed they would love each other forever, they only danced and spent time together. No kiss, nothing further than hand holding, but they knew. Philip knew he was going to marry her and there was nothing anyone could say against it. Loving Philip was less naive than young women nowadays believing they can 'fix him'.

People often use the argument that, in a movie named after her, Aurora has the less screen time of all princesses. It's fair. But that doesn't mean that it makes the movie any less centered around her. Her influence when off screen is in all the people that loved her, fighting for her.

Philip who, confirming her beliefs in their love, fought for her like a goddamn lion. Against his father's wishes, against a 100 years curse, against a forest of thorns, and against a fucking honest to god dragon. In the face of that, it is hard for me to think Aurora naive for believing in her soulmate.

Love from her guardians, who are not particularly clever or useful in actual battle, but still do everything they can to protect and free her from the curse.

Now I am sure Stephan and his nameless wife loved her. In a way. The kind of love necessary to give up your child in the hope of a better life. But there's also not a drop of the love you get from seeing a child grow up and getting to know them. That's why we don't see their love having much of an impact on her life when it mattered. There were more responsibility and duty coming from them than love.

Aurora might not be a fighter, but she inspired enough love to fight a dragon. But as she didn't fight the dragon herself, she's not feminist enough.

She was sweet, kind, didn't have much apart from hopes. And yet life went against her when the circumstances of her birth (that she wasn't aware of beforehand and couldn't prepare for) forced her to give up the only thing she really wanted. That event destroyed her, in a way never predicted by people who promised her hand in marriage the moment she was born. It was evident for them, to support an alliance that could have been done in a different way. Being forced to comply to unreasonnable expectations and responsibilities she never agreed to, erasing all traces of freedom she ever had, makes her a victim.

Victims need to be saved. It's the duty of people with the power to do so to help save victims. It's not the victim's fault that they're in this situation. There is nothing wrong with needing to be saved.

Sleeping Beauty was built from a traditional fairy tale, that's why there is a dragon guarding a high tower and a brave lover ready to fight it. That's why we're lucky to have had a happy ending with the soulmates ending up together and not forced to marry someone else. But just think of how bad things could have gotten. And yet in all of that, Aurora has no power over the situation. Because she's abused. Because she's a princess and under ridiculous expectations from a family that doesn't know her, and then because she's asleep under a fucking curse. Aurora couldn't help herself. She had no way of doing so, at no point.

Those past few decades, disney princesses have to fight. They have to stand up for themselves, prove they are not powerless, free themselves often without anyone's help. Women need to be strong warriors to be allowed to exist. Nowadays people scoff at Aurora for being a victim. Because it's wrong of her to not do anything to free herself.

It participate in the overwhelmind mindset that everybody has to be strong in a cruel world. That women have to prove they can do everything themselves. That being a victim is being weak. Rape victims in media have no longer the freedom to be impacted by it. They are only likeable if they fight it and make it a strength.

But Sleeping Beauty had a happy ending because people who loved her fought for her.

Maybe we should stop blaming victims for being helpless, and instead do what we can to save the people we love.

kim headcanons kim headcanons kim headcanons kim he-

Hohohohohoho Nonnie....you and me babey :D Here take some good stuf!!

Kim loved dinosaurs as a kid. She thought they were so awesome, and she grew up with a pet bearded dragon that she named Dino. She always had him on her shoulder, and she adored him like he was her son. Her little tiny scaly son. 

There are times when Kim feels like the only person she can actually rely on is Aubrey. She loves her parents, but since their divorce things have been weird, and it’s hard to just spend time with them now. Her father needs to make everything ‘special’ and her mother is just...distant. Vance is her brother and he’s always her go-to, but he isn’t super helpful for like girl stuff. 

Kim isn’t a very girly girl per say, but there are time she wants to talk about crushes and watch a silly movie and gossip. Her brother just wants to ride on his scooter and cause trouble. She pretends that’s all she wants to do too. Having Aubrey was having her first girl best friend, and they’re attached at the hip a lot. 

Kim is so sure there’s no secrets between her and Aubrey, and that’s why she reacts so strongly in canon. For the first time she sees this whole other world of Aubrey’s, one she isn’t let into. 

Kim definitely is the little sister who was tagging along with her brother and his friends until she was just a staple of their group. The Hooligans are an amalgamation of Kim and Vance’s friends. Angel and Charlie were Vance’s friends and Mav and Aubrey were Kim’s.

Okay this is just straight up me projecting but like fuck it I’m gonna do it. Kim loves Postie. The hooligans are so done with hearing about his “lyrics” and the “melody” and how he’s “transforming music”

Kim is always listening to music and she gives the worst music reccs. She only ever recommends things she likes, but if you have the same style as her then you think she’s super good at music reccing. Vance tolerates it and he listens to the stuff she wants because it makes her happy, but he isn’t big into the same music. 

Kim is an artist and she draws on everything always

Kim’s favorite canvas is herself and her clothes. There’s nothing thats safe from her and a pack of markers she always has on her. Her hands are permanently stained a rainbow, and her parents have given up long ago. Walls in her house are forever etched with her crayola creations. 

She gets along really well with Angel’s sister and she is the one who introduced Kim to spray paint >:)

It’s actually one of the things that she and Sunny bond over when Sunny Basil and Kel start to get into friendships with the hooligans post-canon. She isn’t too sure how exactly to make friends with any of them, but Sunny sees her doodles on her sneakers and points them out. 

He shows her his own sketchbook, and she’s into it. It’s dark and it’s unsettling, and she’s obsessed. They swap ideas back and forth at a rapid pace and no one can find a way t o cut into their conversation. 

Kim brings him with her to one of her spray painting sessions. She found a beautiful flat empty brick wall, and she’s gonna give Sunny his first lesson in painting it. He takes to it like a fish to water. By the end of the night he has a technicolor nightmare exploded out from the heart of the brick

There’s sharks and gators, women with tentacles for fingers and a pink whale looming over it all. It’s weird....she’s enthralled. Sunny doesn’t exactly tell her about headspace or everything that it meant to him, but she can tell how important each part of his creation is to him. They have a standing agreement that any blank surface they find is theirs. They flip a coin for who gets to have it, and then the other helps with suggestions for colors and such.

hero of many, princess of none

in which Bakugou and Kirishima, trying to attempt a quest, meet a strange young woman.  for @reddriot​ 

Life in the borderlands was not easy. 

It was long and toiling, with the twin suns making the days hot and the years long. The sea of sand that stretched across half of the planet could turn into tundra in a day. There used to be kingdoms built on top of kingdoms on top of kingdoms, but they were all sent to dust and to pain. 

And alone survived a girl. 

She was a child. She alone survived the ruin of a thousand empires, waiting above the sand and snow. She alone was the last heir of a kingdom that never was. Even when the wind ripped off the skin of lesser men, she did not die. 

The little princess walked in a state between heartbreak and duty. Why did it happen this way? Why her? Every question was raised. Every god heard a plea. But none answered. 

So, the little princess wandered the borderlands, lonely and divine. And through the years, she grew, with skin like armour and eyes like a stone. She could look out at the great dunes like a hawk and see a single creature. She was armed to the bone, no inch of her left open. She was weary, but stood for those that had no king or knight to protect them. Those that abused what they had were forced to face her dark fury. She became the Mirrored Darkryder, for the fleeting steps in the night that forced the hand of her enemies and the mirages that she seemed to leave in her wake. 

She was the hero of many, and princess of none. 

Good inns were rare. 

Bakugou Katsuki sat at the bar of an inn, with his best friend and dragon shifter Kirishima. They were off on some quest that his mother made him do, after a day of barking at each other, and was told not to come home until it was done. It was something about a bear, blah blah blah, Bakugou really didn’t care. He just wanted to get it over with so he could go back to fighting the enemies of his people and essentially becoming a war hero. But here he was. In an inn, trying to figure out where said bear was. 

Kirishima was chatting happily with the bartender and no less than three patrons, waving his hands about and laughing freely. Bakugou felt sour. He wanted to kick everyone in the room and make them shut up. But alas, he needed information, and inns were the only place to get it.

“Hey, dumbass.” Bakugou hissed, nudging Kirishima’s shin with his foot. “Ask them about the bear.” “Oh!” Kirishima looked at Bakugou with a huge grin. “I already did! They said there is no bear like that.” “What?!” Bakugou barked, rising from his seat, fury welling up in him. “What the hell do you mean?!” 

“Apparently there’s no bears around here.” Kirishima shrugged. “Only wolves.” 

“That doesn’t make any fuckin’ sense!” Bakugou looked at the bartender, gritting his teeth and almost frothing at the mouth. “We’re looking for the White Bear!” “White Bear?” The bartender winced, and Bakugou realised the whole bar started going quiet. The conversations went null, all eyes on them. 

“White Bear…” One of the young ladies said in a hushed whisper. “He’s our lord.” “A thief,” An older man hissed, gripping the table under his worn hands. “He steals our crops, our women, our animals. Our way of life.” “You won’t have to worry about him.” The bartender leaned back, beginning to wipe down a glass. “He’s being taken care of.” “What?” Kirishima leaned in, curious. “What do you mean?” “The Mirror Darkryder,” The girl whispered with reverence. Heads bowed down, and the candles in the room seemed to flicker. “She acts for the people. We asked…” “She will save us.” A youth, maybe Bakugou’s age, rose with a justice-ridden look. Kirishima seemed wholly into the mysterious saviour thing the village had going on, but Bakugou scoffed.

 “What, you hired an assassin?” “She’s no assassin.” The bartender hummed. “Some say she was born out of the sands of the Borderlands. Others think she’s some sort of...god. I dunno. But she’s the protector of the people. If someone sends a messenger into the Tenebris Woodland with a plea for help, the plea will be answered.” 

“We hope that the White Bear will be better, in some way.” The girl sighed, having the last word. “In death, or in life.” 

Bakugou felt his blood chill, and he turned to Kirishima. He seemed almost awestruck, with a gaping mouth and wide eyes. There was a moment of pure reverence before a traveller walked through the door, breaking the tension. It was raining like hell outside, and when the figure walked in, they were soaked through. A certain air made them feel almost dangerous, like a plague in human form. They seemed weary, sighing before plopping into a chair next to Bakugou. The inn went back to its loud state and the lights went bright again as if nothing had happened at all. Kirishima looked around in a bit of confusion, raising his eyebrow. 

“Huh? That was weird.” “How can I help you, stranger?” The bartender talked over Kirishima, leaning over to the traveller. They lowered their hood with a tired sigh, shaking their head to reveal a young woman. She was beautiful, even in her exhaustion, and the bartender swallowed a bit. “Miss?” “Right, uh...whatever is filling.” “Of course.” The bartender left to go get something, leaving her with Bakugou and Kirishima. He leaned over Bakugou to give the traveller a toothy grin. 

“Hi there! Are you visiting?” “Hm?” She looked at him with a surprised glance. “Oh, yes. I’m just passing through.” 

“That’s awesome! So are we!” Kirishima skedaddled around Bakugou to squeeze between the two of them. “What’s your name?” “I’m YN.” She smiled softly, tilting her head. “And you?” “This is my bro, Bakugou!” Before Bakugou could protest, he was tucked under Kirishima’s overenthusiastic arm and noogied.

 “Shut the fuck up! Don’t you fuckin-!” 

“He’s my best friend!” Kirishima grinned, letting go of Bakugou. “And I’m Kirishima. Dragon shifter extraordinaire!” 

“Don’t just tell anyone that-!” “Neat!” YN grinned, lacing her hands. “I’ve only met a handful of dragon shifters before.” “Wait! You’ve met any at all?!” “Why, yes!” She nodded fervently, giddy.  She seemed like a total sweetheart, as opposed to the initial aura of “don’t interact or else I’ll kill you”. Her eyes seemed to sparkle in the candlelight, and when she leaned into her hand, her cheek was squished. There was a kind glow about her, and Bakugou felt his unease slowly melt away. 

“When?” His words were less suspicious, and more inquisitive. “Was it with the nomads?” “Oh, no.” YN shook her head happily. “It was in the mountains, a small family of them. The children were such small things! Their scales hadn’t even shed yet.” 

“Oh!” Kirishima had a hand over his heart, seeming almost faint at the idea. “That’s so cute! Bro, bro, remember when we were kids?!” 

“Fuck off,” Bakugou rolled his eyes, peeling away from Kirishima’s side in embarrassment. “I don’t fuckin remember.” “C’mon, you still have my scales on your armour!” “Shut up!” YN started laughing, and the sound was whole. It was peace, welcome changes, the twin suns through the green trees. Both Bakugou and Kirishima paused, leaning in and going quiet to listen. It wasn’t like bells in the noise, but in the motion; pealing, tumbling, ringing everywhere. When she laughed, the whole world stopped to listen. And the two stared. 

“So.” Bakugou broke the silence as soon as she stopped, not wanting for the conversation to go dead yet. “What are you in town for?” YN tilted her head again, and pursed her lips. She seemed to be in thought for a second, before nodding. “I’ve been taking odd jobs through the Borderlands and the Meseta. The sort of stuff people wouldn’t do...normally.” “Like…?” Kirishima paused, trying to make sense of it. “Like...yanno…” “Oh! No! Not like that!” YN waved her hands, flushed before taking a sip of her drink. “Not like that.” 

“Then what is it?” Bakugou frowned. Before he got his answer, there was a yell from outside, and everyone looked towards the door. YN seemed to have a dark sparkle in her eye.“Neither of you are grossed out by blood, right?” “Huh? No. Why?”YN rose from her seat as people began pouring outside, and Bakugou watched her go with a confused scowl. “What the fuck was that about?” Bakugou got up to leave and Kirishima followed, a cautious and curious glance in his eyes. They both stepped out of the inn, and saw everyone crowding the town square. There were double the people in the bar, and when Kirishima saw what everyone was looking at, he recoiled and grabbed Bakugou’s arm. In the middle of the town square was an elaborate sacrificial stand, with several spears placed in a circle. The two longest were in the centre, on a pyre that burned bright into the night. One had a long, dark cloak on it, which miraculously hadn’t caught fire yet and waved in the thick night wind. The other was the head of a grisly young man, with his eyes wide with fear and tongue lolling out. He still had colour in his face, but the blood was trailing down the spear and onto the pyre. It was a morbid sight, but villagers were dancing around it in joy. 

“He’s dead! The White Bear is dead!” 

“She did it!” 

Though the sight was one to behold, Bakugou and Kirishima both slowly relaxed once they realised that their work was done for them. Bakugou glanced over to see YN looking at the pyre with a satisfied look.

“Well, they’re happy.” She crossed her arms, looking at them out of the corner of her eye. Bakugou noticed that when her black cloak moved, it showed a whole set of weapons around her waist and thighs. One had blood on the handle; an embellished dagger with a white bear motif. 

“It was you,” Kirishima whispered, clearly reaching the same conclusion as Bakugou.

 “Maybe it was.” YN shrugged. 

“You took his own weapon?” Bakugou couldn’t help but be impressed. 

“I never said that.” Despite her refusing to answer, it seemed more out of obligation to keep her ‘identity’ a secret, as opposed to actually lying to them.  “Wow.” Kirishima looked at YN with wide eyes. “So you...what, you go around saving people?” “Me?” YN turned back to the pyre, a smile on her face as she watched it burn. “I would never. That’s made for people who have far too much free time on their hands.” Bakugou scoffed. “Like the Mirrored what’s-her-nuts.” “Exactly.” YN sounded both ready to burst in laughter, and posh at the same time. “Like the Mirrored what’s-her-nuts.” 

“Where will you go?” Kirishima’s voice was laced with concern.

 “Oh, I don’t know. Wherever the sand and the dirt takes me, I suppose. Wherever the Mirrored Darkryder is needed most.” YN turned with a flourish, her cape flicking behind her as she slowly walked into the woods, fading into the dark with what felt like too sudden of an exit. Bakugou looked at Kirishima.

 “Do you think we’ll ever see her again?” Kirishima sighed, eyes wide and looking at where she seemed to become shadow. 

“No.” Bakugou shook his head, feeling as though the moment was something monumental. 

“I don’t think we will.”

Not My Name

Drunk Drabble prompt submitted to @HBC

Summary: Reader is tired of shitty sex and Clint’s constant teasing. Bucky decides to take matters into his own hands.

Who: Bucky/reader

Word count: 1,412

Warnings: It’s smut yo. And swearing. And more smut.

Authors Note: Thank you anon for the awesome prompt! I hope you enjoy it. -xo- Allie

“Hey little girl, you got eyes on them?”

“Call me little girl again and I’m going to kick your ass Barton.” I mumbled into the comm.

Clint scoffed. “As if.”

Rolling my eyes, I adjusted my binoculars. “Yeah, I got them. Does Steve know that he’s got a rip in his pants just south of his left ass cheek?”

There was a choked sound and I smirked. Clint was to my left and three stories higher because he wasn’t happy unless there was nothing between him and the sky. Barnes was a building over, a lurking shadow at the steps to a nearby building. Barnes never joined in with Clint and I as we passed time on jobs like this. We had to do something, sometimes we were stuck in position for hours and too much time alone means you start talking to pigeons. Steve had made us stay on our own channel although Barnes could override it if shit went sideways. 

“So, how’d your date go last night?”

“Can you not Clint?”

“Hey, I’m your friend. And friends are allowed to ask why your date left looking well and truly fucked and you were a cranky bitch at breakfast this morning. Did he fail too?”

Groaning, I smacked the heel of my hand on my forehead. “I should have never told you that. Ever.”

“I’m just saying, I am totally willing to take a chance at making your dreams come true.”

“You’re a pig.”

Clint laughed. “I am, but you love me anyways. But seriously, this is what- guy number 4 who can’t fuck you to climax with just his cock? Your taste in men sucks.”

“Thanks ever so much Clint for reminding me of that.”

There was a quiet click and a hiss. “Do you two ever shut the fuck up?”

“Nope. What’s wrong Barnes? Feeling left out?”

“Someone has to actually pay attention, especially since we’re clear. But you two can hang out in the trees if you want to. Or maybe you should get a room.”

“Fuck off Barnes.” Clint answered cheerfully. “Race you to the truck. Loser buys Thai food on the way back to the hotel.”

========

I was standing in the bathroom in my favorite pjs (a worn hoodie from the soccer team I played on in college and a pair of boxers left behind from two boyfriends ago) towel drying my hair when someone knocked. 

Puzzled, I set my towel down on the counter and padded barefoot to open the door. I was expecting to see Clint or even Steve when it swung out, but I was way off.

I was absolutely not expecting to see James Buchanan “Call me Bucky” Barnes standing there in a pair of perfectly broken in jeans and a blue henley.

I’d heard women swoon about the henleys. Now I knew why, I’d never seen anyone fill out the sleeves of one like he did. It should be illegal for a prosthetic arm to make me want to throw my underwear at him like he was a rock star.

“Barnes. Is everything okay?” I couldn’t even think of a time he’d ever graced my doorstep.

He raised and brow and smirked. “I heard you and Barton earlier.”

“Ok…you always hear us?”

He glanced down the hallway before slipping into my room and shutting the door behind him and throwing the bolt. 

“Uh, Barnes? Is this some secret squirrel spy shit?”

“That’s not my name.”

“What?”

He grinned at me causing my belly to do a flip as he pushed my damp hair out of my face. “I said, that’s not my name. I’ll be damned if you’re going to yell that when I make you cum your brains out.”

Now it was my turn to swallow hard as he continued. “I said, I heard you and Barton. About how no man can get you off so I’m here to volunteer.”

Finally having recovered my wits, I was able to smirk. “Oh, how sweet. Coming to my rescue?”

“Hell no. I’m going to ruin you for any other guy.”

“Bring it Barnes.”

“I told you..” He crowded me until my knees hit the edge of the bed and I stumbled back onto it. “That’s not my name.” He brushed his jaw against mine and I was almost embarrassed how my body reacted to just him being close. Almost.

It had been way too long since a guy had made my body feel alive and being around Bucky was like touching a live wire. He caged my head with his arms and licked down the side of my neck before burying his fingers in my hair and kissing me in a smack of teeth, tongue and lips. I moaned into his mouth as he released my hair long enough to yank off my hoodie. 

“Look at you, nothing but that between your skin and me.” He drew a lazy fingertip down from my collarbone and over my nipples making me cry out as they tightened. “So goddamn pretty.” 

I felt like I was on fire, that my skin was too tight on my bones and could burst into flames any moment. His hands were everywhere, his mouth biting and sucking at my lips, my jaw. I finally managed to grab hold of the bottom of his henley and my fingertips brushed over his cobbled abdomen. He yanked it off in one fast motion, not wanting to leave my mouth for too long. His thigh was pressed between my thighs and I groaned at the friction, twisting as I tried to press harder against the denim.

“Not yet doll. Not yet.” I whined as he moved away from me. Hooking his thumbs in the waistband of the boxers he drew them down over my legs and they joined the hoodie and henley on the floor. I stared up at him, half drowning in lust as he picked up my foot and pressed a kiss to the ankle. I whimpered as he knelt between my knees and, with no warning, buried his face into me. His nose bumped my clit as his tongue swirled over the delicate flesh. I felt him press a single finger deep into me, felt the delicious scrape of it as he curled it slightly. I was so lost in his actions that when he stopped, I immediately cried his name and he smiled.

“Oh baby, you’re going to thank me for stopping there.”

“No I won’t- dammit Bucky! Why would…oh!”

He cut me off by thrusting hard and bottoming out in me. There was nothing soft or sweet but he’d made sure I was more than ready for his cock. It burned but it was the best kind, that ache of finally having a tight muscle release and the sharp relief that comes from it. He snapped his hips, my body relishing every violent moment of it.

He shifted, propping himself up on a hand, the metal fingers of his left securing my hips in place when I tried to wiggle.

“Oh no doll. Just you and me.” 

I felt like every muscle in my body was straining as I climbed, higher than I ever had before. Bucky’s cock grazed over my clit with each stroke but not enough to give me any relief. He ground his hips into mine as I fisted my hands in the sheets, my body finally releasing, soaking both of us as I flooded out weeks of sexual frustration. He grinned but didn’t relent until he started to grow sloppy and he groaned, collapsing onto me as he splashed my walls.

We laid like that for a while. I’m not sure how long. Long enough my heart to stop pounding in my ears and for our breathing to even out. He was heavy but not enough to make it uncomfortable. His head was on my chest, his eyes closed and I gently swept my finger over the dark curve of his lashes. 

“You dead?”

“Mm, little bit. Need water and fifteen minutes and we can go for round two.”

“What?”

He peeked up at me and laughed. “Doll, I told you. I’m going to ruin you for anyone else. Besides, can’t have you being cranky in the mornings now can we?”

I carded my fingers through his dark hair. “Absolutely not. Also Clint’s room is next door and I don’t think he heard me this time.”

“Mmm, bet he will next time.”

STOLEN BY AN ALIEN: An Alien Mate Romance

By Amanda Milo

Monster Scale

Level 04: Actual Monster (Physically)

Dude is big, scaled, healing saliva, has spikes and horns. And can BREATH FIRE. 

It’s like, having a dragon alien human hybrid. It’s awesome.

Also has a fated mates aspect to them that makes them stronger/faster once bonded. 

My Overall Rating For The Book

“I Bought The Ebook or Will Read On Kindle Unlimited”

I really, really liked the first half of this book! I loved the world building, and everything that was happening so far. The last half of the book lost me though. At first I was thinking that we were maybe going to have a reverse harem? But then that didn’t happen. And then a BUNCH of characters I didn’t know or recognize just started showing up, and it felt like I was supposed to know who they were. Turns out they were probably there to set up for sequel books, but it was just too much that was happening and I got confused. ;_;

Overly Simplified Summary

A girl is kidnapped by aliens and is rescued by another, big, hulking alien. Problem is that he thinks that she is another species of alien that he is sworn to protect. In fact EVERYONE believes human women are this other species of alien that's considered royalty!

If you’re looking for a sci fi alien romance where the alien looks like an alien dragon human hybrd (he breaths fucking FIRE guys) that is super gentle with his lady, this book is for you. Also that fun twist with humans looking a lot like another species that’s considered royalty - HMMMMM! - that was a lot of fun.
