There’s a deeply rooted misconception that the only history that Black people have with dogs is a violent one. We recall the stories of slave patrols (the early prototype of our present law enforcement in the United States) enslaved people and free people of color through the swamps and forests with bloodhounds. Our minds turn to images of dogs being weaponized by white officers to intimidate and injure activists and community members. We reinforce narratives that nurture this haunted history of violence. But that is not the full story.
So here’s a little community history that show Black folk being pet parents and companions to furbabies~
- Bartel and Vashti Mosby, sitting together in front of their home with a small terrier in Lincoln, Nebraska (1910 - 1925)
- A  young girl and elder stand on porch with cat (1928)
- Unidentified woman sitting with dog (1910)
- Children play with dog on the beach in Apalachicola, Florida (1895)
- A hunter stands with three hunting dogs in Georgia (1926)
-  A mother surrounded by three children and a dog in rural Wilcox County, Alabama (1910-1919)
- A small child smiles down two dogs in Lincoln, Nebraska (1919-1925)
- At West Park Animal Hospital in West Philadelphia (born and raised~) a multi-racial team including Howard Krawitz and Whitfield Thompson (pictured) crafted a prosthetic cart for a puppo named Peanuts (1964)
- Two women at a picnic show off their smiling pitbull terrier (1910-25)
- Two children with dog in Boston, Massachusetts

If requests are still open (and if it is within the rules) may I request a shot for the Reader who casually refers to TWST guy as her "dream boyfriend" on a daily puzzle? For self-aware!Au and Leona/Jsmil/Riddle if possible? Thank you.
Self-aware au
I do not take any responsibility for you reading this no matter which age group you are from!
WARNINGS: Yandere themes, death, murder, violence, unhealthy relationship, implied family problems, threats
Riddle Rosehearts/Leona Kingscholar/Jamil Viper-Referring to them as your “dream partner”
Tumblr media
Ah yes, cricket. The sport that the Queen of Hears loved so dearly and was the reason why many flamingos and hedgehogs probably planned a rebellion against humans
But here he was, Riddle Rosehearts himself, fueling that fire of hatered of his supposedly feathery friends when he felt the presence of the Overseer again
What a surprise, but he was happy none the less
Playing a perfect game because if he didn’t there was no way he could be worthy of your attention
And then you said those words
Riddles flamingo was this close to going bananas as it felt his grip getting uncomfortably tight around its’ legs
Getting called your dream partner… has he ascended to heaven?
And it didn’t stop there, the next few days you continued to fo that
You better believe me when I tell you that everyone was almost screaming in fear when he was about to punish someone only for him to freeze and stare with glassy eyes onto the distance
Mhm, you said it… only that you saw him on your home screen instead of telling a student that it was “off with his head”
But what if one day you didn’t want him anymore? What if you found someone else whom you thought was better than him?
That was the moment he started to turn into his old self
Only that he didn’t act like this because of his mother but because he thought that if he followed your roles perfectly you wouldn’t divert your attention to someone else
Dark days, my friend. Dark days…
Sometimes though even he misuses them, claiming that someone did something wrong whenever he feels threatened
Never mind that one time when something inside of him snapped and Trey had to wash suspiciously red clothing
Tumblr media
Leona isn’t someone who desperately wants to be in a relationship but if you were to ask...
So here he is, laying like most of his free time in the greenhouse, sleeping away...
And it would have been a normal day if it weren’t for you, suddenly appearing as if you had planned to give him a heart attack
They said this wasn’t a horror game… tell that to Leona who is now clutching his chest from the jumpscare of you appearing
So, the housecat extravagant over there is expecting your visit to play out like usual, make students study… making Deuce nearly break his neck during flying lessons
What he did not expect though was you suddenly going all “Awww I like him so much!”
Well… apparently he is a heck of a fresh snack since you are suddenly like “He my dream partner!”
Charming. Absolutely charming. And absolutely not making him go into cardiac arrest for a minute
Leona thought this would be a one-time tingy but no. You are persistently trying to make him loose every single one of his nine lives
You repeat it. And repeat it. And repeat it. And… can someone help Leona over there. I’m starting to think those bad jokes are slowly turning into reality
Suddenly sleepy lion who doesn’t take care of himself is high fashion. Is Vil seething? Maybe but what I can guarantee you is that he plans to turn Sunset Savannahs second prince into a scarf
Malleus over there also looks like he might implode any moment but we don’t talk about the end of the world here… at least not now
Leona is not dangerous because he is very active but because he has his way with words and if that doesn’t work then he can literally grind people to dust… all I am saying is that his magic worked on Ruggie
So whenever he sees someone getting close to him so that they can also get close to you then they better be prepared for intimidation tactics which Lilia hadn’t seen since the war and they will definitely might end up with a few healthy bones less… especially in the neck are but this is a sunny side blog! We- we don’t talk about dark stuf here!
And yes, of course, this is bad for his ego but Leona knows that him changing in any way that is a bit more egoistical will probably end up in a negative way
After all, not even he is sure what he would do would you stop to refer him as someone you consider as husbando material
Tumblr media
Uh… Jamil… poor in the shadow standing Jamil…
Now this is someone I can definitely assure you thinks he has absolutely no chance with you
Although that changed after his overblot, with him finally getting a good session of screaming at Kalim his self-esteem was definitely in better waters
So here he is, still a servant but at least he got his problems off of his soul
Which ends up with him dreaming. Would a kind and all-knowing soul like yourself even look at him? If yes, how would it be?
One day, that one darn day, you came and did what you ususally did
Nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary, just some guidance
And then he feels your attention on him, his body going into “plank-mode” as he started to become nervous
All the years of serving someone like the Asim family was not able to prepare him for you
And then he is suddenly perfect boyfriend material
What’s even funnier is that he was puring Kalim a drink and at your words he gave the young heir an unvoluntary shower
Huh? The incense has probably gotten to his head, he thought whilst carrying food over to Kalim but then you started to squeal about him again and… I know, what a waste of good food.
When you repeat it every day his self esteem gets even better day by day, you repeating yourself on a daily basis
But what if someone were to take this away from him? What if some lowly insect were to question his position
Jamil can be frightening. Not the normal kind tough. No. Frighting frighting
SUdddenly that students’ social life is ruined because he did something horrible, even his family can’t look him into the eyes. WHat Jamil is always alone to those recently violent becoming people? Nah, that must be wrong, right?

She had never seen Friedrich as angry as he had been after her confession, but it had all been for her protection. He decided they would talk to his aunt after the event was over and make sure Lord Jameson would be arrested. 
Friedrich had also managed to convince his aunt that (Y/n) and her family should stay at the castle until the wedding to make sure they were safe. (Y/n) couldn’t be more thankful about it. All the preparation for their wedding had finished so it gave (Y/n) some time to relax before the wedding. She also wouldn’t argue with seeing Friedrich more often. 
(Y/n) had been sitting in her widow with it propped open to let some fresh air in, her and Friedrich’s rooms had been placed practically on opposite sides of the castle ‘to keep their reputations intact’ as Queen Charlotte put it. However, it seemed like Friedrich’s fencing practice moved closer to her room so she could watch him. Anytime Friedrich looked up to her window she’d quickly look at the book in her lap and pretend she wasn’t just staring at him. 
Friedrich chuckled when he noticed she tried to pretend like she wasn’t staring again. He didn’t mind, as of tomrrow she’d be his wife. He couldn’t wait for their wedding. He almost wished it could be the day of their wedding already. He noticed she was talking with her ladies maid he learned her name to be Marie. As she had been helping the two talk when no one else knew. He’d actually asked her to help him with a surprise for the next day as well. 
They both caught each others eyes and waved. In embarrassment he saw her turn back to Marie, while he felt a weight on his shoulder. His fencing partner. “Ah, so now I finally see why you asked us to move all the way over here,” He chuckled. He was one of the few that wouldn’t just let Friedrich win because he was a prince. “It has nothing to do with her room being there,” “I said nothing about her room, I just happened to notice her in the window,” He grinned. “Now are we going to fence?” 
“Yes we are,” Friedrich turned back to him. 
“Great, because you have a little something,” He pretended to wipe his own chin with a chuckle, “Wouldn’t want you to embarrass yourself more in front of your future wife when I beat you.” 
Friedrich took a quick swipe of his chin finding nothing causing his friend to laugh. “Maybe rely more you your skill than jokes,” Friedrich said as they began to spar again. 
Their wedding was slated to take place in the morning so they could begin their long journey before it got late. She had already been up for hours when Marie came to wake her up to get her ready for the day. “Are you excited,” Marie said with a smile as she sat on her bed. “So excited I can barely think,” (Y/n) grabbed one of the pillows behind her and squeezed it to her chest. “Well, good news, you only have to remember to walk down the aisle, say your vows and finally kiss your prince. With maybe a few other surprises along the way.” She winked. “Surprises? What surprises Marie?” She questioned.
“Nothing, nothing!” She giggled and pulled the girl from her bed, “Now lets get our bride ready!” 
It felt like days while they got her ready in truth it was just a few hours, and she couldn’t help but notice Marie disappeared a few times while others did her hair, and helped her into her gown. 
She was sitting on one of the chairs while she waited. When she heard a knock on her door and Marie popped her head in. “Good you’re alone now,” She smiled and (Y/n) walked over. 
“I am, why?” She raised her brow. Marie came in but left the door slightly open. 
“For a surprise,” She smiled. “What surprised?” She tried asking again. “Me, Schatz,” She heard a familiar voice on the other side of the door. She could help the grin that formed on her face. ��I asked her to help me so we could have a moment alone before everything today,” He explained and reached his hand through the opening in the door. She took his hand and they both leaned against the door and she took his hand.
They stayed in silence for a bit just enjoying being close. “You still haven’t told me what Schatz means,” she smiled. “Treasure,” He said, and played with her hand a bit. “Because you are my treasure. And I’m glad I found you.” 
They spent a few more minutes standing together until Marie let them know someone was coming. Then they reluctantly let go. The ceremony itself passed in a blur and they were finally married. 
Everyone was ushered out into a large hall except for the young couple. (Y/n) had planned to follow them but her husband had a slight change of plans for them. Before they entered he gently took her hand and pulled her into a different room. 
“Friedrich?” She questioned and looked at him with a smile. 
“No one is going to miss us yet,” He explained with a smile and they sat down happy to be alone together for a few minutes which they probably wouldn’t get again until they were ready to leave for their honeymoon. 
“How long are we planning to stay here?” “Just a few minutes,” he chuckled. “Tonight, we will stay in our home here in London,” he smiled. “Then tomorrow we can start the real journey,” He kissed her gently.
“I can’t wait,” She smiled and pulled away slowly. 
There were so many people at their reception that it was almost impossible to move around once the couple joined the reception. They could forget about walking around much though as everyone was coming up to the couple to congratulate them or to enjoy their wedding night. Most of the latter comments embarrassed (Y/n) a bit.
She smiled and held his hand as Lady Danbury approached them.
“Lady Danbury,” They both greeted her with a nod.
“Congratulations your highnesses,” she bowed to the two. 
“Thank you Lady Danbury,” (Y/n) smiled. 
“And don’t let me forget to invite you to one of my ladies only parties your highness,” Lady Danbury winked to her before walking off. 
After hours of exchanging plessentries with most of the Ton both (Y/n) and Friedrich were ready to go, Friedrich excused himself from his wife to go get their carriage ready to go. They didn’t need to worry about any of her things as they were already sent to their new home. So all they needed to worry about was getting themselves home. 
As soon as Friedrich walked away that’s when her stepmother walked over. 
“(Y/n), dear I’m glad I found you again before you leave.” She said. “What is it mom,” She looked to the older woman who looped her arm under hers. 
“It’s time to have the talk about what happens on your wedding night,” She stated, and lead her past a few guards to a private room for their chat.
When Friedrich reentered the hall, he didn’t immediately see his wife where he had just left her only a few moments before. Some people had already left so it was a bit easier to walk around. He started to make his way around the hall. The first people he noticed were his family, then hers. 
“Friedrich,” His aunt called him over to her. He walked over slowly still scanning the hall for her, “Yes Tante?” he asked and looked at her. “Getting ready to leave so soon?” she asked. 
“As soon as I find my bride again,” He nodded. “Our mother took her aside to speak with her,” One of her brothers piped up. “Probably of what to expect tonight,” Another chuckled causing Friedrich to blush a bit. “Yes, I hope to soon hear my favorite nephew and his wife are with child,” Charlotte chuckled and caused his blush to deepen. Her mother soon joined the group but without (Y/n). 
“Where’s (Y/n),” He father asked. “I think our little chat embarrassed her a bit, I believe she’s still attempting to calm down,” Her mother chuckled a bit and waved their worries away. “She should be coming back soon.” 
Friedrich nodded calmly and decided he’d wait not to cause her to be more nervous. But he’d be lying if he hadn’t thought about what tonight would be for them. It had been one of the only things he could think of besides how happy he was to spend the rest of their lives together. He thought back to that day a little more than a week ago in the library. 
“She sure is taking a while,” Her oldest brother stated, which snapped Friedrich out of his little day dream. 
“What,” He said, he hadn’t really noticed he’d spaced out a bit. 
“What did you tell her,” Her youngest of her older brothers asked their mom nudging her. “Nothing that bad, we should check on her,” 
“I’ll go,” Friedrich said and went off to the room her mother said she left (Y/n) in.
After her stepmother had left with the information she’d told (Y/n) she was fanning herself and opened the window to let in some cooler air to calm herself down. She hadn’t know anything of what was going to happen and now she couldn’t be more nervous about it. 
She paced around the room and took deep breaths in attempt to calm her nerves. After a few minutes she’d finally calmed herself enough to try to rejoin the others. There was a knock at the door where she was at. “Come in,” She said. 
“Your highness,” A young guard she didn’t recognize popped his head in.
“Yes…?” she said slowly still not used to being called that. 
“Prince Friedrich asked me to give this to you,” The guard handed her a note. “Oh, thank you,” She said and opened it. The young guard quickly left. 
‘I have the carriages pulled around if you’re ready.’ was all it said. She looked at it and took a few more deep breaths before leaving the room to go out to meet him.
Friedrich reached the room and knocked. He didn’t hear anything at first and knocked a bit louder before opening the door to see the room was empty. He was confused and walked in. Nothing seemed out of place but the doors to the balcony were open, maybe she was sitting outside? He walked slowly over and looked out and still didn’t see her. Where else could she be, he surely would have seen her if she’d entered the hall again. Maybe she went to the library? He thought, it was their secret meeting place. He exited the room and began to think of any other places she might have gone.
He walked over to a few guards to see if they’d seen her. “Sorry your highness we haven’t since her mother brought her here,” He had asked them to help him look. He didn’t want to cause a panic if it was nothing. But now he couldn’t help but remember that no one had informed them of Lord Jameson’s status and if he’d been found or not. 
He shouldn’t think about that now, it’s their wedding day nothing bad could happen today. And there were guards everywhere if he’d tried anything he would have been stopped. His pace to the library quickened as he hoped to find her in the back reading her romance novel they’d picked out a few days ago.  He made it to the back of the library where he’d hoped she’d be saying something about wanting to take the book on their honeymoon. But she wasn’t. A few guards ran up to him out of breathe.
“She isn’t in her room, or in the hall either,” One told him.
“My wife is missing,”

◼ Men's UNO interview with Li Dai Kun ◼ - May 2024
"[Career] plans can never keep up with changes, so I might as well accept whatever comes, adjust my mentality, and embrace it calmly."
Tumblr media
Li Daikun talks with Men's UNO magazine about his performances in "Heart of Ice and Flame" and "Bell Ringing," life as an actor, his personal life, and his exercise routine.
[⚠ translated by google; I don't speak Mandarin]
B's Note: I don't know if interviews are something cdrama-tumblr is interested in, but I transcribed this as a relaxation exercise, so I might as well post it for anyone interested in knowing more about the person behind the face.
This Q&A was published in Men's UNO BEAT magazine, May 2024 issue, in the "Men's Body荷尔蒙 " column.
For anyone who can read Mandarin, I've included the original as images at the bottom.
Tumblr media
Men's UNO:
During the first half of the year, several of Li Dai Kun's works were broadcast in quick succession. He joked that "If they're broadcast too quickly, it's easy to run out of inventory." More than ten years after debut, Li Dai Kun has experienced both highs and lows in his acting journey. His philosophy in life is to take things as they come and not make any assumptions about the future, while still looking forward to unexpected surprises, and greeting each different character with sincerity.
Q&A:
Q1: The recent dramas "Heart of Ice and Flame" and "Bell Ringing" have two completely different styles. Can you briefly tell us about them?
A: In fact, while one is a costume drama and the other is a modern drama, both have a bit of a fantasy theme. The biggest point of interest in "Heart of Ice and Flame" is that the male and female protagonists both have three identities, which is an interesting situation. In "Bell Ringing," the setting is very fresh and pastoral; the plot theme is "pure love."
Q2: What's special about the characters in these two shows?
A: Let's talk about "Heart of Ice and Flame" first, in which I play the role of the infatuated dandy prince Mu Yuanqi. This is my first attempt to play three different identities in the same drama. In terms of performance, it was also a challenge. The makeup and identity of each character differs a lot, too. In terms of dubbing, I used a different voice for each identity[*]. While voicing them, I tried my best to distinguish which should be lively, which should be seductive, and which should be rougher.
[*]B's Note: In a different interview, screencapped at the end of this post, he noted that he recorded the voice for all of Mu Yuanqi's parts first, then all or Mr. Jin's, and then, finally, all of the ranger's.
Speaking of "Bell Ringing," what attracted me most was not the characters, but the fresh and pastoral style of the drama, mixed in with sweet, pure love and coupled with the fantasy of the past and present lives. The character I played, Chi Ye, has lived for 500 years, so he has an ancient charm, but has also undergone some changes in habits and behaviors from being exposed to modern society. The ancient and modern influences are intertwined in him, making the character more three-dimensional.
Q3: "Sword and Fairy 4" was also aired at the beginning of the year. During this period, different works were aired one after the other. How did you feel about that?
A: I'd hope that the dramas would not be too concentrated together and broadcast all at once. If they are broadcast too quickly, it's easy to run out of "inventory." (laughs)
Q4: How did you get started as an actor?
A: In fact, there was no specific opportunity; everything happened organically. I was studying acting, and had learned a lot of various[*] things before. People say acting is a "miscellaneous profession," and that you need to know a little bit of everything. I like to learn all kinds of different things. This mentality is actually quite suitable for working as an actor.
[*] B's Note: Google actually said "complicated things;" I assume it meant "complex" -> made up of several different things -> "various / varied," but that's just my assumption.
Q5: Have you ever encountered any setbacks or difficulties in your journey as an actor?
A: You will encounter different challenges at different stages, just like office workers will inevitably encounter various difficulties in the workplace. Every profession has challenges that need to be faced. I like to take things as they come, taking it step by step and not making any assumptions, so I might encounter unexpected surprises. Plans can never keep up with changes, so I might as well accept whatever comes, adjust my mentality, and embrace it calmly.
Q6: Are you a naturally optimistic person?
A: Compared to before, I have become more optimistic in the past few years. When I was young and foolish, I always had the mentality of "I must accomplish something!" I was particularly competitive at that time, but now that I have become more mature, my mentality has also changed.
Q7: What do you think is the core of an actor?
A: Reality. Whether in or out of a production, when an actor creates a character, he must first be truthful in order to make the character believable to others. You can't pretend to be a so-called persona; you can't pretend for 24 hours and the flaws will soon be seen. If you bring this pretense into your performance, your character will not impress the audience.
Q8: How do you deal with a character whose personality is very different from your own?
A: In fact, characters that are further away from one's own personality are easier to act. Precisely because of the differences, one can rely on the script and imagination, and then completely separate the character from oneself [B's Note: not sure about this part]. The important thing is to emotionally resonate with the character. It's difficult to act in a role that's very close to your own personality; when it touches a sore spot, the performance can easily get out of control. An out-of-control performance is not a good performance. I think all good performances need to be controlled.
Q9: What are you like in your personal life?
A: I am a very "boring" person and quite a homebody. I usually stay at home with my cats. When I have time, I go to dance class. In winter, I go snow-boarding. It's actually quite a plain and straight-forward lifestyle.
[B's Note]🔊Sound on for music🔊 Sample dance class video. Not from this interview, but from his followers-only weibo entry from 2024-05-28, which you can see [here] on LDK_Korea on Twitter.
Q10: When did you start working out?
A: At the beginning, because I needed to show off my figure for filming, I started to exercise and train my muscles. Over time, it became a habit. I broke a bone some time ago, so I haven't worked out for a long time. Since I had to shoot for this magazine, I did some fitness training for a while. Time and body permitting, I usually exercise three to four times a week.
Q11: What do you hope to gain from working out?
A: To be honest, if you say you want to gain health through muscle-training, that would be a lie; that's just to look good for yourself and for work. It is worth it to see your effort result in corresponding changes in your figure. Using equipment in the gym is actually very boring. Instead, I get some dopamine from dancing and snow-boarding.
[B's Note: I don't know if the Mandarin words for "skiing" and "snow-boarding" are the same, but while Google translates it as "skiing," what he's actually doing is snow-boarding. He goes with other voice actor friends.]

A Modest Proposal
A French Chateau, Francesim
Tumblr media
Hortense: Oliver....why are we here? Oliver: I figured...everytime we drive past here, you always mention how beautiful this home is so I figured, let's walk through. Hortense: Does the owner know we're here? Oliver [joking]: No my love, I figured we could trespass onto the- Hortense: Mon prince. Oliver: I jest Moa Gaol, the owner knows we're here. I'm pretty sure I'm aware of where we are.
Tumblr media
Hortense: Well, I'm glad we aren't trespassing- Mon prince...you did not buy- Oliver: I did...and I can't return it now- Hortense: Oliver this is expensive! It is near an imperial estate, its huge...I am not- Oliver: You are worth it my love. I will not have you complete that statement. Hortense: How did you...Mon prince you have rendered me speechless!
Tumblr media
Oliver: I have a small salary as an army officer and a coming of age gift from my Uncle David so it belongs to us privately, not The Crown. I figured, our family will stay here when we wish to visit your Mama or your brother. It's somewhere where we won't have to be on top of Louis and Charlotte. Even your Mama can stay here while we aren't here if she wishes! I just...it'd be a good idea and- Hortense: Oli...this gift is too much! But I expect nothing less from you my love, so thank you.
Tumblr media
Oliver: The inside of the home is pretty empty...I'm frankly horrendous at interior design and I figured I'd need your guiding hand. But I've been working on the gardens! It doesn't look all that great cause of the weather but I know in spring time it will be a wonderland of colors! Hortense: We have a whole lifetime to design our petit château. Oliver: I can almost hear little footsteps running around Hortense [teasing]: You are skipping ahead quite a bit [Oliver laughing] Oliver: I cannot help it! I can not wait for our life to start Hortense: Neither can I.
Tumblr media
Oliver: Can you taste the freedom? Hortense: I can. It smells of thistles and pine and tastes of fresh shortbread Oliver: I am thankful it tastes like one of the few things I cook well Hortense [laughing]: Oliver...you cook better than my dear brother...he struggles to make toast. And that's pushing one button. Oliver: In his defense...getting toast golden brown takes trial and error! Hortense: We both told him to turn the dial to three...and he went to five cause he was impaitient.
Tumblr media
Oliver [excitedly]: Speaking of impaitient...I can't wait for spring, the colors will be much more vibrant but I started by planting roses, daisies and some thistles....maybe we can bring in more plants and I had the pool installed so we can teach our children to swim. Maybe we can also plant a great oak so our children can have a treehouse! I also had the pavillion restored- Hortense [laughing]: A treehouse? Mon Dieu! We shall have the happiest times here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oliver: My love, a year ago I never thought I’d be in this moment. I thought that I would spend my semester at the polytechnic and then return home, maybe try simder [Hortense laughs]. Luckily I never had to make that account because I met you, and I thought I met an angel. All the time you helped my awful french…and didn’t laugh at me too much. We have been through a lot..and I know that we will stand together through everything that life is going to throw at us. I know we did not forsee waiting so long-
Tumblr media
Hortense: Mon Prince…can I please say yes already? Oliver [laughing]: One last thing. I ask this with the blessing of your mother. Hortense Rose Simparte, will you do me the greatest honor and become my wife? Hortense: Yes! Yes!
Tumblr media
Oliver: Oh, thank God… Hortense: You know I was never going to say no… Oliver: The doubting voice inside thought you would. It has now been quieted. Hortense: Mon Prince…the ring Oliver: Oh, yes!
Tumblr media
Oliver: The ruby is from my Grandmother’s wedding gifts, the diamonds were a gift from the French people to another ancestor of mine, and the gold comes from my Uncle David, who convinced my father to have me go to the polytechnic. Hortense:I didn’t know that! The three countries that brought us together, in one ring! Oliver: A bit poetic Hortense: And awfully romantic. Oliver: It is what you deserve my love. I love you. Hortense: And I love you.

High in Power: Fire Might Not Burn
PROLOGUE 3 YEARS AGO (Pegasus’s POV) In the palace halls, the scent of fresh-kill and roses danced in the air, the quartz pillars were an alabaster white, a warm, soft white. It took magic to make the castles of the CeleCats, something Pegasus wished he had seen, his royal attire of feather collars and black jackets shimmered when he thought about that magic, but it wasn’t important. As the Prince of Celestialain, he-
“Pegasus?” Queen Lyra asked, peeking at him from the corridor, her fur was navy blue with specks of light yellow. She had a long blue dress made out of a soft cloth, with pink feathers at the end. Her crown curved along her sharp black ears, her crown was made of the keel bone of an eagle. She walked with a soft poise towards him. “What?” He said softly, his voice a little sorrow. He had white paws, a dark green speck on his nose, and a main coat of purple. His voice was silky-soft with a weird bit whenever he said “ra” in a word. He looked like a sorrowful horse, as Lyra said. The palace halls echoed, and the wooden floor was cold. “Pegasus, Darling, The Fire Kingdom might propose a war with us,”  Lyra stated, her voice shaky, Pegasus’s eyes widened. “Oh, Ly, why would that happen?” He asked, his brown feather collar shuffling as he touched it lightly. “I don’t know, but their troops are at the border of our capital, we haven’t even provoked them. But they are ready to attack… Queen Carmine, she wouldn’t do this, would she?” Lyra said back, her ears flattening slowly, Why would Carmine ever, ever, try to send her army on us? Unless… Pegasus thought.“Ly-rau, did you check if Carmine died?” He asked her, his voice sorrowful and serious.
“What? What would give you such an idea? Oh- I don’t think Rosewood or Kindle became queen, my dear.” She said, her ears fully folded down, no holocaust would happen in Celestone, the capital, because that’s just not possible, is it? Because the world has been at peace for so long. This can’t happen, not to my kingdom… Rosewood has to have become queen, Carmine isn’t a cat who would dare try to kill us, maybe it’s a cruel joke. Pegasus thought as he shed a tear. “Well, I don’t think we are at war, darling. Maybe Carmine wanted us to know that something is happening.” He said to her, his voice more at ease.
“Well… I guess you’re right… I better go out there. Can you feed Lynx, Cosmic, and Leo?” Lyra said. Her navy blue fur shimmering in the sunlight, her paw on her chest.
“Of course, darling; anything for you,” Pegasus said, his paw on hers. “Remember I love you, I’d do everything for you, I love you.” He continued, as he stepped back. “Yes, as I must go, but take care of our kits, please,” Lyra said, stepping back.
“Yes…” He replied, slowly putting his paw on the hard ground. The room was filled with the scent of jasmine and lavender. Pegasus walked away, thinking about the thought that war might happen.

A knight of Hypno & Service
Tumblr media
Eon is just minted a Knight offering his many services the king hires him to guard a prince for his first assignments
Eon is extremely annoyed by the young man fragrant lack of respect of law and order that instituted by the King.
The young knack quiets down placing a chair behind the desk he slips in to it with a small candle in hand.
Eon looking perplex as ever watches him in hand with a cloth rag and standing up to walk over.
He passes Eon walking over to the hot fiery furnace burgeoning brightly he bends over placing a piece in.
The fire lites the rag with smirk he spins to face me heading back to the main event he sits back down.
“Let me just throw that away and get to the main event.”
“Watch me light the candle”
“Feel the glow blinding you “
“The fire raging”
“Your eyes s engulfed”
“You can’t look away. “
“You are engulfed it “
“You can’t fight it”
“Give in it”
Tumblr media
Eon can’t help himself like a moth to a flame he is drawn to it leaning forward he almost tips over.
His body slumps the young Prince lifts the candle in his hand as he rises to his feet his shadow overcast it.
His shadow is now super tall being super hot intimidating to Eon he can’t believe any of it.
Eon’s legs begin to shake the metal shield of his armor fades as he falls to his knees in weakness.
The young Prince uses his hands to guide the shadow around the room forming all sorts of shapes.
Eon is lost falling deep in to a void of total nothingness free falling to his doom no way to escape.
“Mwahahahahaha”
“Stare in to my eyes@
“I am your Master”
“Yes Master”
“Master Lawrence”
“Sir Yes Sir”
“I am at your disposal “
“Make use of me”
“Strip”
Tumblr media

Jokes On You
Tumblr media
My boss Jacob Bass is a total prick for firing me today but he will get what’s coming to him alright when he comes to me for help.
I crack up with delight after being fired I set up the virus on to the laptop letting it upload in to the system.
Quickly I turn off the laptop placing all of my stuff in to the a large unmarked box and in to my arms they go.
Happily I exit the building by way of the tiny and main elevator shaft going down to the main road.
I exit finally on to the road siding to the side of the building laying my back to the wall with an evil grin.
Digging in my pocket I shuffle for my cell for a phase two of my plan and dialing a private number.
The phone begins to ring vibrating out of my control it falls from my hand blaring bright.
The call is answered projecting a man from the screen, I knew all that would happen but it’s still a sight to see.
The man smirks with a glee on his face, a glint in his eyes, and mischievous idea that percolating in his head.
“Hello? Who is it?”
“You want Jacob Bass?”
“The jokes on him”
“Understood”
“The action is in motion”
“When I should I collect him?”
“His company will be in flux by this very afternoon.”
“I will be outside the office by noon.”
“Very well!”
Tumblr media
I snap my fingers hearing the mechanism of locks working in the back as the wall spread open.
I slip in between the walls as the walls close up behind him, I find myself in a dark hall way.
Descending down the staircase in to a pitch black alley way my body starts to grow cold.
“The plan is active “
“Excellent!”
“Did I scare you?”
“Hell know!”
“Your boss will be ready in due time”
“Pack your bags”
“You leave in eight hours”
“Eight hours?”
“Yep!”
“Go inside “
“Get ready “
“You will fall a sleep”
“Wake up fresh”
“On a island”
“Forever “
“No escape”

90's!Eddie Headcanons
Note: I always like imagining how Eddie would adapt with the 90's since it is lowkey very different from the 80's, so here's some random thoughts ^_^
CW:
Cut his hair around the beginning of the decade
I really couldn't tell you why my brain won't let this go, but I really believe that he would've thought that The Blair Witch Project was real (like not for a suuuper long time, but maybe before seeing it he would)
(But he would NOT have made that mistake again with Paranormal Activity in the 00's...totallyyyy...)
He prepared for Y2K "just in case"
He told the others that it was stupid and that people were all worked up over nothing
But did drag along a case of beans, beer and a first-aid kit with him to Steve's New Year's Eve party "just in case"
(He left his other favorite belongings in his van)
His precious van did sadly break down but that was okay cause he ended up just getting a new one instead :)
He refuses to not drive a van, honestly
Would maybe depart from that though if he had access to hearse
Despite being the rough around the edges metalhead he is, he would find a love for Britney Spears
Like ya know how today there's a collection of metalheads who love Carly Rae Jepsen and see her as their emotional support pop girly? That's what Britney is for him
Thought Scream was a masterpiece and forced the others to dress up as the characters with him for Halloween (you can take your guess as to who he was...)
(Stu, duh.)
Speaking of Halloween costumes, the older gang would also dress up as the Friends characters (because c'mon, these are yt ppl..) (He was Joey because he refused to be anyone else) (Yes him and Steve argued over it resulting in a coin toss to make the decision) (Steve was Ross)
He's def a Seinfeld>Friends kinda guy
He's also a Simpsons>Family Guy kinda guy
Fuckin' loves DunkAroos
Got lost at a Nirvana concert (this applies to both Rockstar!Eddie or regular Eddie)
Rockstar!Eddie and Corroded Coffin went on SNL
Eddie told Mike Myers he was hilarious but kept calling him "Michael" to be "respectful" (also cause he thought it was hilarious)
Got Adam Sandler's autograph for Steve
Isn't a fan of ICP or juggalos but can accept them from afar
(Is highkey thankful he went to high school in the 80's because otherwise he would've had some juggalos sitting at the Hellfire table)
Celebrated the beginning of his 30's with a bottle of champagne and a pack of DunkAroos
Would also mourn his 20s but not entirely
His first time using the Internet, he looked up porn
Not cause he was in the mood or anything, but just to see what was there
He's not allowed to use Steve's computer anymore
Embraced the younger ones' new phases :
Lucas styling himself after Will Smith in Fresh Prince (which btw not an Eddie hc but Lucas and Max dressed as Men in Black for Halloween on year, okay bye)
Max definitely embraced the grunge style of dress
El loving riot grrrl bands due to their boldness and unabashed expression of emotions (Eddie thinks it's badass)
The boys' love for video games surging due to history being made before their very eyes (Sonic, Crash, Super Mario 64, etc.)
Eddie gets high and watches Kevin Smith movies
Misses his long hair after watching Jay & Silent Bob :(
Likes Goosebumps books and collects them for his future children
The whole crew went to go see Space Jam expecting it to be really dumb and dopey
Everyone left with their lives changed
Forced Steve and Lucas to teach him basketball
It went exactly how you'd expect it go
Fell asleep watching Titanic at movie night
Freaked TFFF out when he got high and watched the Truman Show
Then let his fear subside and would make jokes
"Steve, move out of the way, you're blocking my good angle" *is staring at a plant pot*
Wants smoke with the Chucky doll
Tried growing out a small beard towards the end of the decade
Didn't really feel it, will try again in his 40s
Rockstar!Eddie bought Wayne a house in '95
Made sure the kitchen had lots of cupboard space
Eddie didn't cry until he was leaving after moving Wayne in
Wayne didn't cry until he started putting up picture frames of Eddie through out the years
Mechanic!Eddie saved up for a house for the two of them to rent
Either version Eddie got Wayne a black labrador
Wayne was your typical "I don't need a dog to worry about, messing up my furniture" type of man
They're attached at the hip after one day
"This Green Day isn't half bad"
Despite knowing that it isn't his first actual drink, Eddie is psyched to take Dustin out for his 21st birthday, just the two of them
Steve tracks them down, upset he wasn't the one to buy Dustin his first drink
Dustin doesn't even care as long as he isn't the one paying
This would be the decade that Eddie properly settles down with someone
Gets married early in the decade
Decides to have kids towards the end of the decade/early 00s
I'm gonna cap it here ^_^

In Our Favor
Part 53
McCoy
McCoy had lost track of his husband. The music was loud and he looked around with a grin. Christine had pulled Scotty along for a dance and McCoy had taken the opportunity to get a fresh drink. As he turned back from the bar he looked across towards the large table the group had taken over.
His head turned quickly as he thought he caught a glimpse of Scotty’s reddish hair, but it was just a pulse of light. McCoy shrugged and began to make his way back to the table.
Spock was the only person sitting when McCoy made it back.
“Jim isn’t making you dance?” McCoy asked loudly as he sat next to Spock.
“He needed the restroom,” Spock told him.
“Ah. Hey, so, uhh, everything’s alright now?” McCoy leaned in so he wouldn’t have to shout the question at the Vulcan. Even in the low light McCoy could see the hint of color climbing Spock’s face.
“Yes,” Spock said shortly.
“Is that something you’re going to have to deal with often?” McCoy asked.
“The normal cycle for a normal Vulcan is seven years,” Spock said quietly. “Being half Vulcan I am not sure how it will be for me.”
“Oh.” McCoy looked out at the people dancing and took a sip from his drink.
“Just Leonard!”
McCoy startled as Jaylah came from somewhere to his right. As McCoy looked at her he didn’t know what to make of the expression on her face.
“Hey Jaylah,” he greeted her carefully.
“You will dance with me now, and show Pavel how to not step on your partner’s toes.”
McCoy raised an eyebrow in amusement at Jaylah’s demanding tone.
“At least you were taught!” Jaylah continued.
“That’s not fair!” Chekov said next to her. “I said sorry!” He looked at McCoy and Spock. “It was only once!”
“Sounds like an accident Jaylah,” McCoy said. “I just got a new drink.” He lifted the glass up. “Ok, ok!” he said quickly as Jaylah began to glare. McCoy shook his head and laughed. “You know you can’t just boss me around.” He got to his feet.
“It’s not because I stepped on her toe,” Chekov grumbled. “She just wants to dance with a prince and show off.”
“Show off?” Spock asked.
“There’s a boy from class here.” Chekov pointed towards the crowd. “She wants to catch his eye and make him jealous.”
“Aww Jaylah,” McCoy grinned. “You should have just said so.” Jaylah’s face colored. “C’mon darlin’, I’ll help ya.”
“That—! It’s not—!”
“Let’s go,” McCoy said and pulled Jaylah along.
In the middle of the dancing crowd McCoy finally spotted Scotty and Christine. He waved when they looked and both grinned back. In another moment he was close to Jaylah.
“So where’s this guy?” he asked by her ear. Her color rose again.
“Pavel lies!” she spat out.
“I don’t know, you are blushing.”
“I’m not! It’s hot in here!”
McCoy just smiled.
“You having fun?”
McCoy had finally gotten back to Scotty’s side and they were holding each other close as they danced.
“Aye!”
“Whenever you want to head out, just say,” McCoy said.
“Did ye want to leave?” Scotty asked.
“Not yet,” McCoy shook his head. “Couple more songs and a last drink?”
“Sounds good. Are ye going to serenade me home again?”
McCoy rolled his eyes as he tried not to blush.
“I kept away from Jim and the shots tonight,” he said. “Maybe it’s your turn.” The prince grinned at his husband.
“No thanks!” Scotty laughed.
Part 54
Scotty
They used the whole Sunday to regain their energy for the upcoming week. Two nights of partying had been really exhausting and Scotty was quite sure that they wouldn't do it again too soon. One night was enough.
He was glad to spend the whole day with Leonard, just reading and relaxing and preparing for more information to hit them the following day.
And that following day came way too fast.
On the next morning, Scotty and Leonard sat in Madison's class once again. While the prince was chatting with Cora next to him, the young Scotsman saw Amber from afar and waved at her. She smiled and waved back.
"She's really pretty, isn't she? But I thought you were married," a voice next to him joked and Scotty only rolled his eyes.
"She's just a friend, Aporal. But if ye find her so pretty, why don't ye go talk to her?" Scotty asked, a grin on his lips.
Aporal chuckled.
"Oh, Scottish boy. I'm not really the type for dating or relationships."
At hearing that, Scotty tilted his head to the side questioningly. He raised one eyebrow.
"Oh? I thought the oh so great Aporal would love to be admired by the lasses."
At that, the Andorian only smirked.
"Can't say that I don't. But that doesn't mean I want anyone at my side."
Before Scotty could say anything else, Madison entered the auditorium and everyone fell silent.
He sighed. Yet another round of boring lessons.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you all know what you learned so far. Today we are having a pop quiz."
All the cadets exchanged surprised glances when they heard their instructor's words.
It was the last class of the day, special class for engineering students, and no one would have expected a quiz already.
Scotty looked at his friends who sat close by.
Keenser kept a straight face while Jaylah's eyes widened in shock. She always worried far too much about these things.
"Several questions will appear on your PADDs. You have twenty minutes to answer all of them. The cadet with the best and fastest performance will get to visit the newest ship of Starfleet no cadet has been to up until now."
Surprise quickly turned into determination. Everyone wanted to win this prize! Scotty too, of course.
So when the questions started to appear, he quickly started to answer them. One after another.
He knew everything. After all, he had known most of this stuff already before they had been accepted to the fleet.
His fingers moved fast, but in the end it wasn't enough.
"And the fastest cadet with the best results... is Mr. Kinnear. Congratulations!"
Scotty gritted his teeth in disappointment. Why did it have to be that bastard? Why not him or his friends or-
His heart sank as he watched Aporal standing up from his seat. The Andorian's eyes were wide and he stared at the PADD in front of him. Slowly, tears started running down his cheeks and only a moment later, he rushed out of the classroom.
Whispers started to fill the room. Some people looked surprised, others laughed.
And Scotty? He quickly got up, ignoring everyone else. He needed to check on Aporal. As fast as possible!

TV Shows I Watched in 2023
1. Atelier
Tumblr media
To prove how long and old my watchlist is, this was one of the first jdramas I ever found on Netflix and I finally got around to watching it. But I loved this show. Yes it had its slightly annoying characters and scenes but ultimately the message of the show is that you need to learn to grow and to do that you need to be passionate about what you do. But you also need to take yourself seriously in that journey. So when fresh out of college Mayuko Tokito joins a small company of luxury lingerie, she has a lot of growing to do. But I loved the whole cast and they all go through their own journeys. Plus one of the underlying messages about the lingerie shop was that this wasn't just to sell underwear, it was to make women feel great and special in their own life.
2. Heartstopper (Season 2)
Tumblr media
Another great season of this show and I find this such a good adaptation from Alice's comics. Plus the things she has changed from comics to the screen still fit in perfectly to the overall theme and I love the extra side stories we get to explore outside of Nick and Charlie this season. I think Tao and Elle's relationship continues to evolve and grow closer, plus their date at the museum was super cute. Tara's hearbreaking scene with her mom and how that plays out with Darcy is so important to show and handled so well. Plus thank you Alice for creating more awesome and heartwarming Ace representation! I loved Isaac's exploration and discovery of asexuality and love that more and more young people are able to see themselves and identify so much earlier than I did.
3. Old Enough! (Season 2)
Tumblr media
I wasn't expecting to get more seasons of this, but I absolutely adore this show. Sure its still the same premise of watching Japanese toddlers run their first errand, but a cool thing they did with these new episodes is they showed videos from 20 years ago (because the show has been running that long in Japan) and then they would flash forward to today to see where that kid was now and see how they react to sending their own kids out to run their errand. It's so cute and heartwarming.
4. Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj (Seasons 1-6)
Tumblr media
Hasan Minhaj is smart, charismatic, and hilarious. And I've always appreciated him as a comedian and correspondent on The Daily Show, but he really shined in his own series. What was cool to me too, was while I wasn't watching these at the time they came out, most of the stories and subjects he talked about are still highly relevant and still as impactful as I'm sure they were when they released. And a lot of that has to do with how well presented they were, including the jokes that he had with his audience. Would love to seem him do another show like this, but until then, I'm excited to see his new standup show live.
5. The Dragon Prince (Seasons 1-5)
Tumblr media
I knew I was going to love this show when I finally got around to it since it was co-created but Aaron Ehasz, but I didn't know how much until I really dived into this show. I love the story and am actually impressed how much they have been able to tell in just 45 episodes with such a rich premise and cast of characters. The diversity is also fantastic. I absolutely love General Amaya and love that while she is deaf, she is a badass but someone who also adores Queen Jinai. I think the growth with the 3-year story gap was also great because we really got to see the kid trio grow into their roles, especially Ezren who I adore. And honestly after season 1, I thought I would hate Soren forever, but I love this man because is a good hearted weirdo and he's had a lot growth from his family's trauma which is great to see.
6. Jane the Virgin (Seasons 1-3)
Tumblr media
I added this show to my watchlist a long time ago and by the time I got to it, I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it, but its just fun telenovella goodness. I think the over drama of every situation is hilarious, but it also has its tender moments. I think the cast is great and I love how each character goes through these periods of likability to hateable to redeemable and its what is keeping the show pretty fresh now that Mateo has born. My only gripe, I never was a fan of Michael and was sad to see them get married, but definitely didn't expect him to go out like that (if he really is dead, because who knows with a Telenovella). But I've been on team Rafael since the beginning because I honestly think, even when he's made mistakes, it's because the man is trying his best in the shittiest of situations he finds himself in. But honestly, Jane doesn't deserve him now.
7. Doctor Who Christmas Special (2023)
Tumblr media
This was a fun return to Christmas specials and I really enjoyed seeing Ncuti in command finally. He's a joy to watch especially because he is already showing the perfect switches of being happily enthusiastic with the love of learning a new alien language, the in command way he handles the police officer and the goblins, but also the same woeful timelord who is still carrying on despite learning his past. I also love Ruby and I'm curious how RTD is going to do a mysterious girl story, though I am a little wary still since I haven't been his biggest fans. But overall its a very solid story.
8. Good Omens (Season 2)
Tumblr media
I was curious to see where this show was going to go since their isn't a second book (or a third for that matter!), but I trust Neil at the helm. And the premise was enjoyable and entertaining with great appearances by our favorite characters as they tried to deal with this new issue of Gabriel appearing in Aziriphale's bookshop with no memories. The only thing I didn't like, was even in six short episodes, I felt like it took a while to really get down to the heart of the story and while it was fun to see how hell was responding to the issue, the rest of it dragged a little to me. Still I love the past scenes with Crowley and Aziriphale and understand why the ending happened. Now that its been renewed for a third and final season, it will be interesting to see where it goes.
9. Call the Midwife (Season 12 + 2023 Christmas Special)
Tumblr media
Another great season of this beautiful show. I'm still impressed that they can continue to tell heartbreaking and heartwarming stories all these seasons later, but its also great to see the growth of all our favorite characters. Though I am a bit peeved at how they wrote out Lucille and I feel so bad for Cyril because he cares so much for her and I wonder what will happen to him now. Still, I'm so glad to see Trixie so happy and now married to Matthew who is honestly such a great guy. Can't wait to continue seeing what takes place in Nonnatus House as this show always makes me feel things.
10. Miraculous World: Shanghai
Tumblr media
Finally getting back into this show now that I have Disney+. So far out of the two specials, this one was more enjoyable because it had way more story and didn't suffer from Marinette's constant cringe. And though it was a shit reason for her to visit her uncle, I know she got a lot more out of Shanghai than she was expecting and not just because Adrien happened to be there. Plus it really highlighted how much heart and how much of a hero she could be and introduced a great character in Fei. And who can go wrong with a superhero trained in kungfu?
Other shows I watched: 11. The David Tennant Specials Part 2 (AKA the Doctor Who "60th Anniversary" Specials) 12. The Flash (Season 10) 13. Hibana Spark 14. Miraculous World: New York 15. Stargirl (Season 3) 16. Explained (Seasons 1-3)
Shows I rewatched in 2023: 1. Doctor Who (Season 19-The Power of the Doctor)

GerCan- Knight/Prince AU [part1 of ?]
(I haven't given this fic a proper title yet and this is the first draft. I'm thinking of posting it all on AO3 once/if I finish it.)
Prince!Matthew/ Knight!Ludwig
"Hey Matthew. I'm sorry, I won't be able to go hunting with you tomorrow. Father needs me to go with him to a meeting with another family."
"Is he trying to marry you off already?" Matthew joked, letting out a laugh trying to hide his disappointment from the older prince.
"No... or at least I hope not. Now I'm worried. Listen, I'm really sorry, I'll make it up to you." Alfred apologized again.
Matthew continued packing his bags, more trying to hide his face then anything "No worries. I can just go alone, and we can go together another time."
"Don't go alone. You know mother worries about you when you go off by yourself. Father worries too. What if something happens to you." He was worried but didn't want to show it too much. "Take a knight with you at least. I’m sure they’ll enjoy a bit of a break too."
“Fine, just get one who’s close to my age. I don’t want to be stuck with a stuffy old man.”
“Well at least he’s not old, and handsome.” Matthew thought as he looked over at the knight. 
Sir. Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Augustus von Beilschmidt, probably the most stuffy of the knights. He figured that Alfred chose him because he was probably the best choice to protect him. 
After a while into the ride Matthew finally spoke to break the silence .
“Sir. Fredrich?”
“Yes, your highness?” 
“Do you enjoy hunting?” 
“Yes, your highness. My older brother used to take me when I was younger, but I haven't gone for a few years.” The knight’s eyes never stopped scanning his surroundings as he spoke.
That was a lot more than Matthew was expecting to get out of the man. He had to be honest it was nice to have someone to come along with him, maybe it won’t be as bad as he thought. “Well, I know the best hunting spots. There are a bunch of boar around this part if that’s what you want. Or I know another place a bit further away that’s good for deer.”
“Whichever you prefer, your highness.” 
He let out a sigh. Back to formal talk, he was hoping he could have had a proper conversation but it wasn’t going to happen if the Knight was going to be so formal.
 “Sir. Fredrich. I know this isn’t proper but on this trip you may just call me Matthew.” 
Sir. Fredrich almost froze for a moment. Talking to someone from the royal family so formally was usually a big no, but it did seem like an order directly from a prince.
“Of course…. Matthew.” 
“Thank you. So, do you want to hunt boar or deer?”  
“Deer, if that pleases you… Matthew.”
“Deer it is then. It’s a nice day for a longer ride anyway.” The prince smiled at him before starting to lead the way. 
After a little while of traveling Matthew came to a stop  and jumped off his horse with bow in hand.
“Your highn… Matthew?” Being so formal with the prince was very strange, but it was a direct order and he didn’t want to disobey.
“There are tracks over here that look fresh, I think there’s one around here.”  Matthew wandered around looking for other tracks and his knight found a place to tie off the horses so they wouldn't wander off. 
“This way Sir. Fredrich.” Matthew called back and pointed towards a narrow path through the thick brush. He looked so happy now that he was out in the woods. It was almost like out here he didn’t need to act princely, like he was out of the view of anyone who would disapprove of him not being proper. 
“Ludwig”
“Pardon?” 
“If we’re going to be informal on this trip, then you can call me Ludwig if it pleases you.” Ludwig felt awkward, but it felt like the right thing to do since the Prince seemed to be informal on the trip.
“Of course Ludwig.” Matthew gave him a warm smile before leading the way into the forest. For a moment he swore he saw Ludwig smile back.
—--
They made it back with their kill just as the sun was setting. Servants came out to take the large stag that they managed to track down and the smaller game they got along the way to be butchered. 
“I don’t think it’ll be ready until tomorrow but I can have some of the meat sent to you once they’re done, Sir.Fredrich.” Matthew switched back to a proper mannerisms now that he was back in the palace walls. “I could also have some of my cooks prepare a meal for the two of us for dinner tomorrow night if you would like.” 
Matthew wanted to get to know the Knight better now that they spent a whole day together away from the palace.
“I would very much like that. Your majesty.” Ludwig get a little bow to Matthew.

Shrek the Third (2007)
Tumblr media
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
The drop in quality between Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third is so steep you'll wonder why anyone bothered. There’s nothing inspired here in terms of plot, character development, humour or even pop-culture references. It’s a devastating letdown that disappoints more the longer you watch.
King Harold (John Cleese) is dying and names Shrek (Mike Myers) and Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) as his successors. Convinced an ogre will be unfit to rule the kingdom of Far Far Away, Shrek decides to track down her cousin, Arthur “Artie” Pendragon (Justin Timberlake). With the help of Donkey (Mike Myers) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas), our swamp-loving hero is off, but not before Fiona reveals she is pregnant. Meanwhile, a washed-up Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) vows revenge.
The story by Andrew Adamson - adapted by Jeffrey Price, Peter S. Seaman, Chris Miller and Aron Warner - is so flawed I don’t know if there was any salvaging it. By and large, it’s really just the same plot as the original film. Shrek and Donkey - plus Puss - have to find a royal and bring them to a castle so Shrek can get his swamp back the way he wants it to be. Oh sure, there are slight differences. Obviously Artie doesn’t fall in love with the green meanie the way Fiona did but they do have that big “lover’s quarrel” scene once true intentions are revealed.
What you essentially get is Shrek but without anything that made it magical. The characters aren’t fresh the way they were before. Worse, the well of fairytale-based jokes has been drained dry, leaving this movie with few opportunities to make you laugh. I know you could argue whether Red Riding Hood or the Three Blind Mice really fit the fairy tales motif but King Arthur? Sans excalibur and with only a couple of lame scenes where an exaggerated, incompetent and loopy Merlin (Eric Idle) appears? It feels completely out of place.
Tonally, director Chris Miller misses the mark so thoroughly it's almost like it's on purpose. The first scene has a humiliated Prince Charming mourning his now-dead mother. Next a parade of scenes of Shrek grumbling about how much he hates Far Far Away and how much he doesn’t want to rule. He then finds an excuse to abandon his wife so he can pawn the kingdom off on some schmo he’s never met. In no time, you're sympathizing with the villain rather than the hero. Yes, Charming turns out to be malicious but it feels like the character was re-written to be the antagonist. From what we saw previously, there was nothing to indicate he had any volition of his own; he was just a mama’s boy raised to believe he should rule. Couldn’t Fiona wear the crown? How about the still-living Queen? What if Artie had been this megalomaniac who, after obtaining power, used it to get revenge on everyone who bullied him at high school? Shrek would’ve come off as an even bigger jerk than he already is.
Even the choice of songs doesn’t feel right. Whereas Livin’ La Vida Loca, I’m Holding out for a Hero and All-Star in Shreks 1 & 2 either subverted your expectations in a novel way, drove the story forward through non-litteral music, or both, there’s nothing about the short clip of Immigrant Song and the cover of Live of Let Die during the royal funeral that comes close. Where’s the wit? Where are the unusual choices that don't seem to fit on paper, but in execution work so well?
I doubt anyone who saw Shrek the Third upon its original release remembers it. They might remember some of what happens, but the way the movie made you feel? No way. That’s because this comedy has no heart. It’s diet water served after two classic animated comedies. I’d say I hated it, but that's incendiary, passionate - too good for Shrek The Third. The people behind the scenes knew this movie would be a hit so they rushed out a mediocre product because they knew they could. (On DVD, August 9, 2019)

Spoilers for now BAH
As the night of subcon approaches the subconites all gathered around the kiddos who were acting “the tale of queen Vanessa “ a true classic horror story to the children of subcon,cooking cat on the other hand preparing sweets and snacks keeping up with the theme of the spooky stories that were being spread around the fire
Snatcher watched as cooking cat just got the second patch fresh out of the burning fire thanks for the help of the unwanted fire spirits but hey as long they do the job its fine..right?
“Hey uh..cc” snatcher whispered to cooking cat who was near by his side placing the plates to call the children and the kiddos to eat
“Yes, sugar, what is it?” Cc answered the ghost quietly making sure no one is paying attention to respect snacher’s privacy of course, once the last plate was placed cookie walk her path towards snatcher who was looking at the stars,admiring them and their light sure he was now KING of subcon but still a part of him feels that something have always been incomplete like unfinished studies that were left untouched a book that has many ideas left to be read or to make it bitter- sweet for the ghost
Things left untold
Again after the day his love for Vanessa was shunted and he was left with nothing but agony and pain all these years and having to fight two kinds of red hues both agree on an eye and a dotted mark to regain full control an responsibility of the forest he now calls his own home with his minions whom he is very protective of..is his own way of course
Cooking cat tapped snatcher’s shoulder he was a bit surprised but at least it was a pleasant kind of surprise “OH!, cookie.. you are here, that was quick” snatcher scratched the back of his neck his fur a bit fuzzy due to shock but he attempted to ignore that in fact he didn’t make eye contact eye direction was the green grass that many of subcon citizens walked on from many years before literally glowing neon yellow like the yellow overpass from “kitty” metro as hat kid worded it “ you alright mr, you look rather sick” cooking cat furrowed as she worried for the ghost placing her paws on his face was not helping his situation AT ALL
“Ye YES, IM PERFECTLY FINE HAH, NOTHING CAN GO THROUGH MY FORST WITHOUT ME KNOWING” he nervously blabbed attempting to break the tension but it doesn’t help his natural that he is by default
… how does hatkid word it “tusedre”? Nono tsundere he was sour but of course people or ghosts in that case change forming new connections which pushes them to the better! Like a sour patch
from sour to sweet
“ you aren’t alright snatcher, please tell me what’s wrong?” Cooking cat’s voice grown soft “ are you sick?, you could rest in the tree house while i take care of the event” cooking cat stated worried about her shaped ghost friend snatcher on the other hand was just melting like a marshmallow
“NONO, I’m fine, plus why worried about me chef?” He teased “maybe if you weren’t my friend I won’t be so worried but who am i to judge ay sugar, now tell me why did you need me” cooking cat asked once again seeking answers from the king himself who as some may word it as “head over heals”
Snatcher had to be careful with his next words, he won’t like to mess up a perfectly crafted confession, he quickly gathered himself and built the courage he had been keeping away since his last stance
“Alright” he thought to himself
“Say chef, you know how in the tale of queen Vanessa both of the prince and ..THE queen promised to..” he chuckled nervously
“Rule together?” Cooking cat added “yes, i am aware but what does that have to do with me?.” A bit puzzled cooking cat tilted her head “I’m no queen sugar, how would..” “people change so does their views about the world they call their
“Ever since 5 years I’ve known you been nothing but quite endearing, and well”
“ a bit energetic huh” she added “too energetic in fact chef” he jokes giving her shoulders a playful nudge
“But still you bring quite the delight to that empty space ship when the kiddos aren’t around” “but that is not about that”
Snatcher have always held his feelings as a grudge it’s as bow word’s it “meow or never”
“Hm?” Cooking cat raised her an eyebrow in confusion
“Oh?, what is it about then?” She asked the ghost standing before her
Snatcher took a deep breath attempting to relax his ghosty “muscles” if he even had em in the first place
“1..2..3”
“Chef, you do knowledge who much you are admirable as a person or.. a cat by that sorts” “Right?”
Cooking cat pause a bit, a chuckle escaping cooking cat’s lips lifting her paws to her hiding her blushing face avoiding eye contact
As much as words would attempt to leave there was only silence and stuttering for sure that compliment took her off-guard for a few moments although admittedly there were things she loved about snatcher as well, the stories he had to offer that weren’t scary they were
loved about snatcher as well, the stories he had to offer that weren’t scary they were amazing!,his advice, he’s always been clever whether thats the location of current traps or ways to tricking hearts to fall into his own forest, brave fighting off the two unwanted folks, and he was a strong king who understands his forest and it’s people after all he wasn’t heartless he was rather closed off
Until the kids came into his life, HELL this wasn’t even the start of the list of things cooking cat admires about “mr heartless” since his appearance is unique which makes him, his eyes were nice “
Cooking cat glanced over towards snatcher “ what make’s you Any different, you are unique as well sugar, every one and their own way of becoming a star in this dim dark world.” “Hah..a star?” sarcasm filled snatcher’s voice “ If anything I’m a black hole, taking souls to fill a void that someone left.” Snatcher looked at his claws that were once hands in chains being claimed by darkness that was spread like a wild fire of rage hidden in the form of ice.
He knew Vanessa took many things not only from him but “his” children as well and the people of the forest, he knew things won’t go back to their norm nor can he dwell on the past any longer it just hurts, maybe subcon could witness a new age or possibly better days so can he!, and he could start now with the help of his beloved chef crush cc, cooking cat held his claws snapping him back to reality “cold.” Cooking cat whispered to herself, cooking cat wrapped her arms around snatcher,
Sure snatcher didn’t feel warmth lots in his deathtime but he sure enjoyed it while it lasted “ay stupid but would you rule subcon with me?” He felt hesitation creeping through his question after all heavily expecting “no” as an answer he isn’t the kind to force emotions such as love on some one
“ is that a king’s way of saying i like you?” Cooking cat asked “the proper term is love but we get lost in translation “ both paused a bit absolutely sure it was a no from her but only maybe if only, only if he stayed a bit longer maybe a more easier on heart answer as if he was waiting for a bunch of judges to rate his dish that is a mix of looking forward to a future and exposing himself like an open book and a soft
Sweet deal for dessert
Snatcher felt a soft kiss on his right cheek only to find cooking cat resting head on his shoulder
“ I suppose the feeling is mutual” she whispered
@sweetzcookie I suppose here???

<p>Author note Abbie Rogers Civilan camp</p>
<p>Terri Daniels helped me on this and This camp and This in honor of camp founder herself Abbie Rogers</p>
<p>“In the 1950s, Abbie Roger’s best friend had a daughter who had disabilities named Donna Rhian. Abbie saw that, during those days, many people with disabilities were not included in camps and other fun events, so she started the camp. It started in 1961 .She asked the Civitans to help pay for camp- they said yes and still are the sponsors. The camp was first at camp tiak, the Boy Scout camp, in tents””state by Terri Daniels</p>
<p>Then, when camp iti kana was built (we will have to look up when) the camp moved there because they had bathrooms, cabins, and a pool.</p>
<p>We add to the camp most every year building something new!</p>
<p>“The camp grounds belong to the Girl Scouts, but we rent the camp each year.. Camp has been going nearly 60 years- and we believe camp will continue and grow!. I’ve been at camp for over 30 years. Camp has changed as the nation as changed.”</p>
<p>Camp was small before Kay, Chris, and I came. Abbie had to start small and grow the camp. Then people started donating a lot to camp- so we’ve been able to build and grow camp.</p>
<p>‘Technology changed camp a lot too. Because of texting, website, Facebook, and Instagram, we are able to carry our message to large crowds . Oh .Brett Favre’s daughter and John Rhys Plumlee with his sisters is one of famous people who been at camp ‘’before . Said by Terri Daniele herself .Her son Ryan Daniels been Go to camp for Long time ago too and He was even my consular for one year at that camp also . My Birthday always on week Of Abbie Rogers Civitan Camp when I go .Oh cabins name belong to boys Tall Timbers ,Dogwoods .Areas belong to girls is Lakeview ,Lodge ,and Paradise Lost .Camp is always on Third week Of July and My Birthday is July 14.This camp get a lot of applicants and people every year .Consular go into training to get ready for camp every year</p>
<p>Hi Slade!<br />
Cowboys and Indians was the first theme- several years, actually<br />
Chris and Betsy decide the theme- .This year 2021 camp theme would</p>
<p>Yes- some people have broken rules and been sent home from camp- but I don’t think anyone with disabilities has been mistreated since I’ve been a director.</p>
<p>If someone makes a mistake we talk with them and tell them the rules- if it’s a big mistake or they acted in a dangerous way we have to sent them home<br />
.<br />

hi !! I saw your pinned post and I immediately rushed here to ask a request 🧍‍♀️
OKAY SO PICTURE THIS
the OM! brothers ( I don't know how many characters you can right so just choose your faves ) and diavolo just having a huge crush on mc
Time for some fluff ey, ok here we go
Obey me boys having a huge crush on MC
Tumblr media
Since our dear requestor made me the one to choose who to write with, i choose these bois
Pairings :Leviathan x reader /Mammon x reader /Diavolo x reader
Leviathan
A stuttering mess and
A fresh out of the farm, red tomato
He takes every opportunity to spend time with you
"MC,there's this new game i brought"
"MC, come watch this anime with me"
"MC, let's go buy the merch together"
Satan pointed out his behaviour and called him a lovestruck fool and all he could do was blush since the wrathful demon wasn't really wrong
He feels irritated when mammon always calls you his human and that his your first
He's literally the avatar of envy so of course he can't help but growl and glare at the tsundere for his claims about you
When you turn down his invitations to play or watch anime, he makes that stupidly adorable face looking like a sad puppy
And you're weak to that shit
So of course you put aside any of your plans and spend time with him
Him confessing was messier than my life
He'll stutter the words that are already jumbled, hands fidgeting, eyes darting everywhere besides you and a face that looks like a tomato
When he shouted out the words "i like you"
He went poof, and his demon form came out
You can't help but be stunned and eventually laugh
Now you laughing didn't seem like a good sign to him
Was my confession that awful and did you think he was just joking, he thought
Already feeling like he wants to cry, you suddenly engulfed him in a hug, saying you like him too
Imagine the happiness he felt in that moment as he hugged you so tightly
Mammon
You actually thought he was terminally ill
"let's go out and eat, my treat"
You looked at him with wide eyes
Him? Treating you?
Never in a million years would you think that mammon would actually offer to treat you
"Are you sick or something? Are you dying?" you asked concerned cupping his facd
"the heck, who's dying" he said gently swatting your hand away
Your touch always makes his face heat up so don't touch him damnit
Since you're teasing him, he'll actually feel the need to take back his words cause all he wants now is to bury himself 6ft under
"geez, if you don't want to, you can just f-"
"i never said, i wouldn't tho" you said smiling at him
"w-well of course y-you w-would agree, heh i-im the g-great mammon a-after all" he stammered, hands scratching the back of his neck
You actually said yes and he's fighting the urge to smile
You set the date for your dinner 2 days from now, so in those two days his utterly restless
His a mess and the eldest didn't fail to notice it
When lucifer knew why mammon was so out of it, he offered his little brother a pep talk on how to won you over
Mammon hesitated in accepting lucifer's help but if it ensures his confession to get a good answer he'll take the devil's hand
Amidst to mammon's dilemma, you already had the idea that he was planning to confess and you were more than ready to say yes
But for now, let's just enjoy mammon taking lessons from lucifer on "how to win the girl you like"
Diavolo
Pleaseeeeee
He'd call you for whatever dumb reason he can come up with just so you'd visit him in the castle
Barbatos found the prince hopeless since his reason's for inviting you are just dumb
"MC, could you come to the castle, I bought a fish"
"MC, could you come here and help me find the pen i lost"
Seriously?
You of course would just have a bunch of question marks floating above your head wondering why would he call you for such menial things
What does he want you to do, eat the fish?, and finding a lost pen? Doesn't he have a lot of those and barbs is there to help him find it
Eventhough you're questioning everything, you still go
You secretly told barbs how he was acting weird with his imvite reasons
And Barbatos gladly filled you in on the reason why
Oh
So he likes me, wait He likes me?
You just stared at barbs stunned and the pretty demon just smiled
Already known of the demon's feelings, the next time he calls for you, you won't be able to look him in the eyes
This of course made him think that your avoiding him and that your uncomfortable with his company
So he sadly stopped calling for you, and it's been three days since you last saw each other
His experiencing withdrawal symptoms
Constant sighing, no motivation to do anything, blanky staring at his phone and just looking all pitiful
Barbatos had to take matters into his own hands
He raided the house of lamentation and kidnapped you taking you to the castle
Diavolo was quick to hug you the moment he saw you and he was like a big dog being deprived with treats for days
You both talk it out how you were not avoiding him and was just feeling conscious from what barbatos said
He was glad that was the reason but he's bummed out how barbatos was the one to say about his feelings for you
"I'll do things the right way this time, and court you properly"
"Ok, no more fish and pens" you teased and smiled at him already falling in love
A/N: Thank you for this awesome request @swan-chan, i hope you like reading this
also i wrote for Solomon but it got deleted so that's why there's only three of them now, sorry for that, Solomon's part was quite long so it made me lazy to do it again.

❥ Your Highness ii
Tumblr media
──⇌••⇋──
♡ Pairings: Shigaraki x Reader
Summary: Prince Shigaraki was born with a curse. Anything he touches with his bare hands turns into dust. Everything except you, the new maid who's working in the castle.
Tags: [18+ NSFW] Vaginal Sex, Possessiveness, Controlling, Dubcon, Masturbation, Jealousy, Cursing, Loss Of Virginity, Breeding Kink, etc.
≺Part One≻
──⇌••⇋──
Knock. Knock. Knock.
“Miss Y/N?” A gentle voice called, stirring you from your sleep. You lazily lifted your head, taking in your surroundings of the room as the prior night started coming back little by little. Your head whipped to the side expecting to see Shigaraki, but luckily he must have slipped away before you had even woken up. You hated the idea that you might see him again. Praying the bed swallows you whole so you could just disappear from existence.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
“Ah, sorry! Come in,” you called out.
“Please don’t apologize it’s me who has woken you up,” a woman’s voice explained, she had short brown hair and kind-looking eyes. A warm aura surrounded her in a comforting way. She was in a maid uniform, but she didn’t look familiar to you, but then again, you never had the opportunity to meet the maids in this hall since they ran a different area. She must be far more experienced than you to have been moved up to this section of the castle, but she still didn’t look much older than yourself. “His Highness has called me in to prepare a bath for you.”
A bath sounded nice. The perfect opportunity to wipe your slate clean and try to forget about the events of last night. “Thank you, I would greatly appreciate it.
She wasted no time drawing you a bath and helping you inside. You insisted that you were more than capable of bathing yourself, but she was extremely persistent. Claiming your only job at the moment was to relax. It felt a bit invasive at first, being naked in front of someone you just met, but she also made you very comfortable.
“What’s your name?” You asked to fill the silence.
“Oh, pardon my rudeness. My name is Ochaco Uraraka, please feel free to talk to me informally.”
“My name is Y-”
“I know. Everyone knows. There’s a lot of rumors buzzing around you Miss, I wouldn’t let it bother you though. You’re lucky.” She spoke up, bringing you a towel to dry yourself, “when His Highness has taken a maid to bed, they usually don’t survive through the night. He must have taken quite the liking to you.”
Lucky? Why did you feel anything but lucky in this moment?
After you bathed and ate, you felt eager to jump back into work, hoping it would help take your mind off of things. Maybe if you kept busy, His Highness wouldn’t look for you and you would be safe. So you did just that, throwing yourself into whatever work you could.
“Wow, you sure are eager, Y/N.” Uraraka laughed, “Are you sure you don’t want to take a break? His Highnes-”
“Yes, I’m sure,” you cut off, not in the mood to hear his name. Possibly picking up on that, she just nodded her head and continued showing you to your next assignment.
“I see, well, how about we sweep some leaves off of the pathway outside? It’s a beautiful day and I’m sure you could use some fresh air.”
“Yeah… that sounds nice.” You could use the fresh air. Everywhere you went you heard whispers, everyone’s eyes locked onto you no matter where you went. You couldn’t even pin the looks to one emotion. Sympathy and jealousy crowded you in every direction you looked. You wish you could just scream and explain to them that this wasn’t what you wanted in the slightest, and if it was up to you, you would be gone, but His Highness was right, it’s not like anyone would care, and even if they did it’s not like there was much they would do.
“Y/N?” Uraraka called, snapping you out of your trance. “Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m sorry. I was just thinking.” You explained, continuing to sweep away the fallen leaves on the path.
“How about I go get us some water. Wouldn’t want you overheating out here.” She joked, a small smile making its way onto your face as she ran off, leaving you to work alone. You didn’t mind it though. It was strangely peaceful. The whole castle was beautiful. You never got to fully enjoy it yesterday because you were so busy, but you were glad you got to now. The breeze flowed against your skin, cooling you as you worked. The birds flew in the air as they sang a beautiful song of freedom. You truly wished this moment would never end.
“My my, you are a cute one!” A voice cooed, a short blond-haired girl skipping over to you, as a taller, more brooding, black-haired man trailed close behind. “You must be my future sister! Big brother Shigaraki has good taste, but I gotta say you’re way out of his league.”
“I-I’m sorry?” Did this girl just call you big sister? And she referred to Shigaraki as big brother which means they must be...
“Oh, don’t mind us,” The deep voice of the man next to her cut in, “we just wanted to check out our brother’s new toy. Word travels fast in this kingdom and when we caught wind that there was a servant lucky enough to survive the night with him, we just had to check you out personally. But now that I’m looking at you. I can see why he’s taken a liking to you.”
The way his eyes traveled up and down your body, his gaze lingering on some areas more than others, made you feel vulnerable. That he was somehow looking at every part of you despite the fact that you were clothed. You nervously began to shuffle in place, your arms crossing over your chest in an attempt to create some sort of barrier between yourself and the two strangers in front of you.
“Now, now.” He chuckled, taking a step closer, his hand trailing down your arm as he stood over you, “Don’t look so afraid. We aren’t here to hurt you.”
“Dabi, enough. You’re scaring them.” The girl warned before giving you a soft smile revealing her slightly pointed teeth,
“It’s not my fault she scares so easily.”
“Dabi! Toga!” An angry voice called out, Shigaraki approaching with a look of disdain coating his face. You felt your stomach drop at his sudden arrival. Feeling even more uncomfortable than before.
“Big brother!”
“Well, it was fun while it lasted,” Dabi grinned, sending a wink your way as you diverted your attention. Shigaraki slid next to you, his arm being wrapped around your side as he aggressively yanked you into him.
“Leave. Don’t come to my castle again without an invitation. You have your own, now use them.” That was all he said as he pulled you back inside.
The last thing you heard was the two mumble a “No fun.” before the doors slammed behind you.
He didn’t speak a word to you while dragging you around. Not even as you cried out about how his grip hurt you, he didn’t care, not even bothering to loosen his hold until the two of you were in his bedroom. He carelessly threw you onto the edge of the bed, towering over you with a terrifying look of anger on his face.
“I’m not a patient man. I tried, I truly did, but you made that impossible. So I’m not going to wait another minute to claim you.” Not even bothering to explain further, he ripped your dress off, your hands springing up in an attempt to shield your breast before he began tearing into your tights and panties as easy as if they were made of paper. He began unbuckling his pants, his cock springing free from its confinement. “When I’m done with you, everyone is going to know who you belong to.”
You tried to back away, begging him to stop, but he couldn’t care less about your futile attempts to stop him as he crawled on top of you. Pinning your hands above your head so you couldn’t hide from him as he palmed your core. It felt so embarrassing and invasive to be exposed like this to him once again, this time in broad daylight. You hated every second of it, crying in embarrassment, and he loved it.
“Stop crying, you deserve this. Bad girls need to be punished. You were just going to let that son of a bitch put his hands on you? How far would you have let him go if I didn’t show up? Would you have fucked him right outside in front of everyone?” He growled a single finger pushing it’s way inside you. You cried out as you felt him stroke your walls from the inside. “Jesus, you’re so tight I can feel your walls clamping down on just my finger. Well, maybe you are a good girl after all. This is going to feel great… well for one of us. This is still a punishment for you.” He smirked, took his finger out, giving it a quick suck before lining the head of his cock up with your entrance.
“Please, not there!” You cried, your mother’s words ringing in your head like an echoing bell. ‘Your virginity is something sacred, Y/N. Only to be given to your future husband, someone you love.’ Her voice was soft, yet stern. How you wished you were with her now. “This should be done between lovers. Husband and wife.”
“Husband? Do you think I would ever let you marry someone? You are a maid under me. I am the future king of this entire shit-hole of a kingdom. I own everyone and everything in it, which means you belong to me. No one else.” He grinned sadistically at your cowering form, “But… if it makes you feel better. You can call me your husband. Come on, give it a try. Say, I love you, Husband.”
You turned your head away, refusing to give in to his cruel game. His teasing was going too far, but worst of all there was nothing you could do about it. You felt the head of his cock start rubbing up and down your slit, a tingling feeling sliding through your body causing your nipples to perk up. A moan slipped past your lips as a new feeling started to overtake your body. “Come on, princess. I might go easy on you with it being your first time and all. Just say it. Won’t it make you feel better?”
You almost wanted to scream. You doubt in any way that this would ‘make you feel better’ but you also doubt he cared to begin with.
“I… I love you, Husband.” You cringed, gritting your teeth at the statement that just found its way out of your mouth. You hated calling him that word, but Shigaraki on the other hand seemed a bit excited by the new name. He couldn’t wait to fill you up any longer.
He lined up the head of his cock with your hole before pushing his way in. You inhaled sharply at the pain, your nails sinking into his shoulder out of reaction as he somehow managed to fit his entire length inside of you. It hurt, tears slipping past your eyes as Shigaraki was panting with desire. The feeling of your tight cunt wrapped around his cock as you were completely at his mercy felt incredible. There was no way he would ever let you slip out of his grasp. You and every hole in your body were his, and he would make sure that when morning came your body would remember that. Remember the feeling of him inside of you, and the feeling of his skin on yours, just like he did with you.
All day he was suffering. The feeling of your cunt pressed against him when morning came had got him turned on before the day had even begun. He ended up masturbating over your sleeping form once again, even though he was so desperate to just take you then and there. While in his office he couldn’t get the night prior out of his head, leaving him with a hard-on and a rather foul mood that only seemed to worsen at the sight of you and his shitbrained brother talking. But with you now, taking his cock like a good servant, maybe he could forgive you.
Before you were even able to adjust to him filling you up, he began pumping in and out of you at a fast pace, as your hole clenched around him. Every time he pulled out, he felt your walls pull him back in, keeping him wanting more and more.
This was sex? Your mind was finding it hard to focus as he continued to enter you with an almost animalistic desire. It hurt, but it was almost starting to become… pleasurable. Your walls slickened at the continuous feeling of him hitting deep inside you. Your toes curled as a strange sensation started to build up.
“Feel good?” He groaned, not even slowing his pace as he asked the question, too eager chasing his own high. You leaned back as chills ran up your body, you were starting to feel so hot, the cold breeze nipping at your skin. Shigaraki took this as an invitation to let his mouth wander, immediately latching onto one of your nipples, sucking and biting with such a desire, as if he was a starved man and your tit was the only source of nourishment he’s had in years. He bit the tender skin and pulled with his teeth quickly, before releasing your small bud and latching onto its opposite. You whimpered out in pain at his harsh treatment of your now sore nipple.
“I asked you a question.” He mumbled over your breast, sinking his nails into your thigh to give himself a better grip and pulling you closer so he could somehow manage to pound even deeper into your now soaking cunt. He was addicted to the feeling of your skin, he couldn’t get enough. He wanted to leave his mark all over you. “I asked, do you feel good?”
You could barely find the words to describe this feeling. It was hurt but in almost a good way. The pleasure somehow overpowering the pain and leaving you wanting more. All you would do was nod.
“How about a thank you? Didn’t I say I would make you feel good? Even though you don’t deserve it. You little slut, coming onto my brother, like a fucking whore. But luckily for you, I’m very forgiving. I think I deserved to be thanked. Don’t you? Say ‘thank you Tomura, my sweet husband’”
Once again he was feeding you words to say, but this time your mind was too fogged to put up a fight as he began to suck and nip at your chest and neck. Causing the skin to darken where his lips once lingered “T-hank you, Tomura, my sweet husband.” You managed to cry out, your voice quivering at all the overwhelming feelings erupting through your skin.
“Mmm, fuck. So obedient. So perfect. I want you to take all of my cum. I want you to be swollen with my heir. Every time someone looks at you, with my child growing inside of you, I want there to be no doubt that you’re mine.” The final word seems to finish him off as he shoots his load inside of you, filling you up past your limits as pleasure flowed over you, wave after wave. Your cunt clenching around him and sucking every drop out of him. Both of you became weak as your orgasms faded, a weight seeming to be lifted off your chest as your whole body felt relaxed. Shigaraki’s hand came up to your face wiping the stray tears off of your tired face. His hand slipped down to your neck, yanking your forward and crashing your lips against him as he stole what was left of your breath away in a kiss.
God, he could definitely get used to this.
“My father wants to have dinner with me and my siblings,” he stated, releasing you as he pulled himself out of your cunt, the tiniest of whimpers leaving your lips at the empty feeling, “he has some things he wants to discuss with us. I’ll be bringing you, so you better be on your best behavior… or don’t. I don’t give a shit. I sure as hell wouldn’t mind punishing you again if necessary.” You couldn’t think about leaving the room, your body feeling overly sensitive to even the air in the room, but at the same time, another punishment sounds less than ideal. Not to mention you’d be meeting the king, and be forced to reunite with Dabi and Toga, this whole situation seemed like a disaster just waiting to happen.
“I’ll send one of the servants in to help you bathe and get you a new uniform so just stay put until then. I’ll be right back, so don’t even think about wandering off.”
Again, you couldn’t even imagine it. Your body finding the bed the comfiest place in the world as of now.
"After dinner, if you're a good girl, I may just give you a present."
You cringed at the words. Why do you have the strangest feeling that the present would be something only he would enjoy?
