just saw someone in the drive away dolls tag complaining about how pedro pascal was only going to be in the movie for five minutes and how that meant "clearly he's being exploited". bestie i'm sorry the lesbian roadtrip movie is about two lesbians on a roadtrip and not pedro pascal.

So when I've been complaining about even fanfiction not being romantic enough, part of what I mean by that is that people take huge, gothic characters in pairings with gigantic, dramatic stakes full of titanic emotions and then make them feel small and mundane. Stripping the very romanicism from the bones of the romance.
There are many things that are deeply appealing to me about B&tB pairings or 'unlikely' pairings or Gothic romance in general, but something that is less structural while still being absolutely key is that it's not an easy relationship to get the characters into. It's not something that would happen under ordinary circumstances for either person. It's not a bond that can be forged without some form of pressure preventing these people from continuing in their regular patterns.
If you're writing an E/C fic where you start from scratch, the moment they so much as touch for the first time should be absolutely show-stoppingly prodigious. It can never be casual, not between these two, the idea of a touch being allowed should be an Event. The reader's heart should be thundering in their chest, the suspense should be palpable, the consummation divine. A single touch is a consummation for them, there should be that much tension. If they hold hands and I'm not holding my breath, you have done it wrong. The first kiss should feel like an atom bomb going off, the world should shift on its axis, a line is being crossed which has left both characters forever altered.
And people will instead write them like a standard romance novel couple who make standard pervy comments in the narration, get a bit flirty, casually hook up and then weigh pros and cons about whether dating fits into their life plans or not. All of this being totally without weight, without feeling like any kind of Rubicon has been crossed or that it's significant for the characters to have entered into something which must foundationally alter their worldview.
Reylo brushing fingers across the galaxy and it being the turning point of the entire narrative, given the same majesty and mystical significance as Luke's vision in the cave or Yoda lifting the X-Wing is the exact correct amount of emphasis for them reaching towards each other in tenderness. You have a character defined by abandonment and loneliness and a character who is surrounded by people but never touched, both unseen by anyone else, both aching for connection, both never having felt anything like this before, both aware of the galaxy-spanning consequences of what they're feeling. Them touching is le big deal.
The kiss for the B&tB pairing, the EtL pairing, any Gothic pairing has to feel out of reach, a chasm that cannot be crossed- until it happens, impossible yet inevitable. Something the characters could never have conceived of taking place at the beginning of the story, an infinite abyss of which they have somehow found themselves on the other side. You have to do the work to get them there, you have to build that bridge stone by stone, and it should be a sublime agony of seeing the path take shape while it still feels like the gap is just unbridgable, that no matter how close you come, it will never be complete, they can never get all the way across. Until they do.
If you write characters who have (or should have) that kind of vast gulf separating them as just kind of falling into an intimacy which isn't earned and thus means nothing, I just have no idea why we're here. Why buy a giant gothic castle of romanticism and then bulldoze it to build a minimalist condo? Everything about the pairing that makes it that pairing is stripped away. If these were people who could just meet at a party and end up in bed, they would be completely different people.
#taking something epic and portentous#reducing it to a casual instant attraction they sort of casually and impulsively act on like it's ordering a coffee levels of important#and then it's all 'well maybe there's ~something there~ whatever tho don't think it matters or anything' while they're going on caj dates'#and ends with 'it's pretty good I guess we're compatible maybe we'll get married eventually'#LIKE#why#why are people so boring#if it is not love of the most exquisite kind#the far far better thing you do than you have ever done#these people would never go through the bullshit of being with their enemy/a pariah/a difficult Beast/etc.#sshg stories where they're casual actually pain me#it CAN'T be casual it's NOT a casual attraction if they were under normal circumstances it would NEVER happen#SOME THINGS HAVE TO BE FORGED IN FIRE OKAY?#the chasm which has to be crossed for it to happen is what makes it so satisfying my guy#WORK FOR IT#don't get me wrong I like low key ships as well but it's just a fundamentally different thing and some characters#absolutely cannot be plugged into a low key dynamic#Erik categorically cannot be a standard mundane love interest about whom one can be casual#he has never had a casual relationship with literally anything#he is intense about everything he does#this is what makes him wonderful#if you don't want to deal with his dramatic virgin antics then you don't want to write about him#and that's fine! but it means THEN DON'T#writing#romance#tropes

also. should i make a persona 5 oc. place ur votes now. more details in the tags so if you're interested, i'd appreciate your input!
#ooc#specifically; for a game about outcasts; it's often a point of criticism that p5 doesn't tackle lgbt issues at all (or worse; is bigoted#in itself) and i agree with that criticism#the game still has a lot of good points to make don't get me wrong but.#i think it'd be fun to create an oc who's outcast (like the other PTs) from society due to their gender or sexuality#and who rebels against society's bigotry and accepts themselves; similarly to the other pts. however.#i do worry about being a cis woman writing about gender or even writing about sexuality when discrimination isn't something i've experience#myself. (i'm aroace; and a-spec people definitely do experience significant amounts of harm from bigotry imo; but i personally have been#very lucky.)#I kind of feel like it's not my place to write a character who's strongly impacted by these issues as a result?? out of fear of talking ove#actual lgbt voices; i suppose. this mostly applies to if i decided to write a trans character; i think.#so i'm asking for your opinions I suppose.#i'm very tired so i apologize if i worded any of this awkwardly as well; feel free to ask for clarification if i've been unclear#tl;dr i would love to make a gay trans woman phantom thief but i worry it's not my place to write a character to whom#their struggles with the exclusion they face from society are a major part of their character#as a cis woman who's faced little discrimination herself.#homophobia mentions tw //#transphobia mentions tw //#aphobia mentions tw //

still thinking about the upsetting npc I had the displeasure of meeting yesterday. fuck the shivering isles
#and fuck the writers and devs who thought it was even remotely okay to make this shit a gimmick#I'm over here with my life path irreparably altered due to mental disorders I've been medicated for since I was eleven#and had for who knows how long before that#and seeing all of my friends who have had an equally shit time. many of whom are disabled by their mental illness#many of whom have received shit from other people and organisations including hospital and police ON TOP of#the shit they were already have to deal with#who have dealt with huge amounts of abuse and stigma stemming in part from horrendous portrayals just like this#who deserve so much love respect and compassion for what they've gone through#and instead it's THIS. I'm playing through a game expecting nothing#and yet they manage to make a character that is a MOCKERY of an issue that is so sensitive to me#that I've struggled with for a long fucking time and that many people I care about have struggled with too#AND GET IT SO FUCKING WRONG#that's what really gets me!!!!!!! the complete disregard for the actual emotions motives and experience associated with it#do five goddamn fucking minutes of research#and you'll see that that's not how it is at all. that's not remotely how it works or why people have that issue#the complete and utter lack of regard compassion or even BASIC RECOGNITION of the people who are affected by this in the day to day is#staggering#I don't know what the fuck else to say. it's horrifying#it's not more horrifying than anything else in this fucking dlc or following this theme in tes as a whole. it's all bad#but this affected me a lot more bc of the nature of the issue they're bastardising.#anyway.#if you read all of this... that's embarrassing for me lol I'm just yelling#but don't worry about me I'm honestly fine. just frustrated#I really didn't expect to be blindsided by something that as I said is a personal issue to me in such an insensitive way#so it exacerbated my feelings about the dlc#but outside of this and when I'm not thinking about it I'm okay#so don't think I'm having a breakdown or anything.#however if you want to commiserate with me about this dlc please fucking do because I'm so full of yelling about it#anyway#fay rants

Hm I'm not putting this in yhe main tags bc. Yeah but I'm blocking ppl who call the step mother hot
#Like ok she kills people and is rebelling or whatever. She abused 2 children. One if whom we saw be abused physically and mentally in CANON#BEFORE NOW! YOU STUPID FUCKS. And I don't want to overstep bc I am not Black but both of her main victims are Black and I feel#Very very uncomfortable with people being able to. Ignore that? Like I don't know if she has a Canon/coded race so I can't speak to#In story dynamics and I can't say if it's intended as a pattern but it's genuinely something I think we should like. Acknowledge.#I dont CARE about you enjoying her killing people. That's like fine who gives a shit. I do care about the fact people seem to have assumed#That her being given nuance means it's like. Fine to gloss over the fact she is Canonically an abuser? Like look me in the fucking eyes.#She has abused Cinderella Pinocchio and her stepdaughters! I don't CARE if you want to say the first parts are because of the authors.#It. Happened. Oh wow she was written this way she didn't chose CINDERELLA DIDNT CHOSE TO BE ABUSED! AND OH HOW TERRIBLE THAT YOU WERE#ABUSIVE SO WE COULD LOVE THE PROTAG. HOW DO YOU THINK SHE'D FEEL IF SHE KNEW HER ABUSE WAS A CHOICE MADE TO MAKE HER ''BETTER'' AND#''MORE LIKEABLE''. LIKE SHE HAS TO HAVE THIS KIND OF PAIN JUST SO PEOPLE LIKE HER. DO YOU THINK THATS BETTER? THAT ITS LESS SOUL CRUSHING??#AND THENP PINOCCHIO. She. CHOSE. That. Pinocchio chose to lie to save his father. She chose to hurt his father to control him. Also more#Lore based but it's implied she did her story again. She has Cinderella's father in an etching. So. It's likely after she got this power#She STILL chose to hurt Cinderella. She chose to be the villain. She CHOSE this. She chose to hurt her again. She chose to be abusive again#Again. Implied. But I don't know what else it would imply. She broke off Pinocchio's nose. She saw him Vulnerable literally told in#By his father (even untrue as it was) that he shouldn't have been made. And she used that. She lovebombed him with promises of a mother and#Reassurance and GIFTS TO FUCKING MANIPULATE HIM. And I believe in adventuring party it was said that Pinocchio literally could not#Recognize what she did to him as abuse/manipulation because of the fact he had been taught that if something hurt him he like. Deserved it.#Or that it was in some way Correct. And that getting what he WANTED was wrong. She took advantage of that to use him literally use him#To the point he was willing to use his strings (something he saw as a trap for him literally representing CONTROL OVER HIM just to escape#Her he was literally GIVING SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF HIS AUTONOMY UP TO ESCAPE HER I DONT THIMK THIS IS FUCKING SUBTEXT GUYS)#Ppl say they want evil women and then act like the women who aren't evil aren't that bad actually because that would COMPLICATE THINGS HUH?#I'm so FUCKING MAD. Like use your brain you stupid cunts

looking up squ*d g*me stuff in the tag and I get getting attached to doomed characters (trust me, I get it), but the amount of series I look at tags for that are just in complete denial that characters die and refuse to engage with those series on that level boggles the mind like why are you watching the "this is a tragedy and people die" media if you don't want to at least engage with that to a certain extent

The Fallen Kingdom Project
Chapter one: when the betrayer is betrayed
(Yandere husband cheater Emperor x ex-wife ex empress reader)
Warning : Mention of murder and cheating , killing .
________________________________________
Tumblr media
Kneeling in the front of the woman whom he gave everything.... The one whom he called love of his life ,for whom he killed his all the loyal supporters and his own mother. Pain throbbed in his chest as the poison spread through his veins, he looked at her smiling down at him a wicked smile... That was so different from what he remembered was your smile.
He coughed more blood breathing heavily. He clenched his teeth as he heard her cruel laughter .
"I really pity her.... She was so so innocent ~ she even drank the poisoned wine for you and you never once looked lovingly at her.... Haah!...~"
His eyes watered remembering your numb expression as he remembered you drinking the poisoned wine that was meant for him. Only a weary smile that you gave him the last time closing your eyes....
"Men are so dumb.... Killing their own blood while loving and saving the child that are not even their own. Hating and abusing the loyal partner while worshipping the one who are planning their demise."
His eyes widen at that and he looked at her .
"Oh~ I forgot to tell .... But as you are dying now.... Let me tell you the truth and ,let you die with the guilt.... Y/n's son that you killed ... Was your own son.... It was I just gave her a drug regularly during her pregnancy that made the child's hair snow white .... Its funny right????"
"After how you treated him and killed him with you own hands??? Hahahaha!! The poor kid called you father till his last breath~"
His head throbbing is heart more paining as he remembered the day he shamed you in front of whole kingdom for an adultry that you never did. Your son...."his son " whom he killed , his heavy sword piercing his little body.
When the 9year old boy didn't even knew what wrong he did to make his papa hate him. And then the broken and numb picture of you holding you baby boy in your lap cooing and asking him to wake up.
While he left you two there after giving a glance filled with disgust.
"Ah.... And there is more.... my son Rodrick..... His is not your son... He is my son with my lover the Duke of South..... Who will sit on the throne after your death.."
"Isn't life beautiful??? You never once looked your wife and son giving your whole attention to me and my child who were never yours to begin with........~"
His eyes started to close as he last time thought about you. Your pretty smile and his son..... His son with you.... He opened his eyes on his secretary's voice.
"Your highness crown prince..... You have to meet lady Y/n of L/n family today, she is the most suitable candidate as you mother choose her for you and I know you refused but you must meet her...so plea.."
"Y/...Y/n?? What date is it today??"
"Its 23th of April year xxxx and you must meet h.."
"I'll meet her!! Help me get ready hurry up!!!"
He don't know what had happened but he is sure he came back in past to the day when he first meet you. He still remembers how you waited for him for hours to show up and he never showed but later saying to you that he don't want to see you...
This time he will make it better , make you and Ariston.... His son happy... This time he would protect you two with everything he had!! Not able to control his smile he hurridely dressed up to meet you. You will smile at him and introduce yourself a little shy a little blush an...!!
His secretary barged inside his room and he looked at him in anger.
"Can't you see I'm busy ?? Im getting ready to see my wife!?..."
"But your highness.... Lady Y/n rejected the empress's proposal for marriage....."
He slumped on the chair , this never happened before... No why??? But it doesn't matter. You are to be his.... In this life and in every next coming lives..... He would do everything to claim you back...
Tumblr media
Back in her room with a stern expression and strong determination Y/n looked at her reflection in the mirror. One hand on her tummy see looked at her abdomen.In this life.... She would keep her babies safe from that monster.....

You need more free art.
I quit my job yesterday. Well, actually I quit my job eight weeks ago, but they finally released me yesterday for good behaviour. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do - but I do it for the wrong reasons. Working for major charities, you learn very fast that 'I want to make the world a better place' is a phrase you use to ask people for money, not to give them things. I was an ass-backwards fit for that world.
You need more free art. I need more free art. Everyone has felt the shift in our media landscape over the last ten years, away from access and towards nickel-and-diming the human experience. That lack of access is making life and culture worse for all of us, across the board. Paywalled news sites leave us less informed, attacks on the Internet Archive leave us less capable of research. Algorithmic social feeds and streaming walled gardens trap us inside smaller and smaller demographic bubbles, where we are increasingly only likely to encounter ideas that have been curated for us by marketing departments. Hasty efforts to resist AI commodification have only led to more artists locking their work away and calling for even more onerous systems of copyright law. This is not good for us.
We all need more free art.
So what am I going to do about it?
This is a question I have been asking myself for years. It's easy to sit here feeilng frustrated and thinking 'boy I hope SOMEONE does SOMETHING'. It's harder to take action in a world where I still have rent to pay. But hard doesn't mean impossible. Sometimes hard just means time-consuming, frustrating and slow. And sometimes it's worth doing something time-consuming, frustrating and slow because...I want to make the world a better place.
I'm going to do this:
1. From April 1st, I am relaunching as a freelance writer and editor.
Tumblr media
This is the one that will (hopefully) help to pay the bills. I am a very good and experienced editor. I've worked on hollywood movies, I'm a member of the Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders, I have clients who have been coming to me exclusively for more than 10 years.
Alongside bigger contract jobs, I am going to refocus on offering my services to small-press creators at a reduced rate. That means you, graphic novelists. That means you, itch and amazon writers. I want to help you develop your work, the same way I help large organisations. You can learn more about what an editor even does and what kind of pricing you can expect here.
2. I'm also going to start giving shit away. Like, constantly.
Tumblr media
Next week I'm going to launch a new free shop. If you're unfamiliar, a free shop, giveaway shop, swap shop, etc. is an anarchist tradition of setting up a storefront where anyone can take what they like for no cost. Offline, this often means second-hand clothes, tools, furniture, food etc. Online, I am going to be giving away digital art. Copyright-free, no strings attached. It will (eventually) feature everything from print-res posters to zines, poems, tattoo flash, t-shirt designs and anything else we come up with.
Yes, I said 'we' - while this is a curated collection, it will feature work from a variety of credited and anonymous artists and activists, all of whom have agreed to give their work away to the public domain. Some of it will be practical, some of it will be political, but a lot of it will be decorative or personal. This is, in part, a response to recent difficulty I had finding somewhere that would print a one-off joke poster for a friend that featured the word 'faggot'. Enough. No middlemen - no explaining ourselves. Just print our shit and enjoy it.
I'm very, very excited about this project. I'll have more to say about it closer to the launch, but you can expect it to go live on March 27th.
2.2 I forgot to mention the ACTUAL LAUNCH GIVEAWAY
Tumblr media
To celebrate my launch, I am going to be giving away a ton of physical prints. When I went looking for my old stock to see if it was worth setting a new (paid) storefront up, I realised I had way more old work in storage than I thought. This will be announced in its own right on Monday, but this is why I've been hinting you should go follow my Patreon.
On April 1st, I will pick 8 random patrons (from across all tiers including non-paying followers!) and mail them a bundle of assorted prints and postcards. The prize pool includes A3 and A4 posters, packs of A6 postcards, and printed minicomics that I've previously sold for up to £12 each.
You don't have to be a paying subscriber to enter - this is strictly no-purchase necessary. It is purely and entirely a celebration of the concept of GIVING ART AWAY FOR FREE.
3. PORN, YOU PERVERTS
Tumblr media
Because I still have to pay to stay alive, I am going to be subsidising all this free art with the introduction of Fuck You Fridays. Starting from March 29th, I will drop a new 18+ short story on the last Friday of every month, over on itch.io (yes I know my page is desolate right now, don't worry I'll get there).
The first edition, Go Fuck Yourself, is about, well - telling your boss where to stick it. Julia has had it with her millionaire man-child manager, and is just about ready to let him know what she really thinks. It's a short and steamy 5k words, with a gorgeous cover illustration by @taylor-titmouse, and you can pick it up for $3 starting from March 29th.
4. ANOTHER BIG SURPRISE
I'm keeping this one under wraps for now, but April 1st will also play host to one more (FREE) launch. If you've been following me for a long time, you might remember the other significance of this date (no not April Fool's day, though that is certainly thematically relevant to this entire effort). That's all I'll say right now. Watch this space.
tl;dr: I'm sick of paywalls and career ladders. I'm literally putting my money where my mouth is. More free art for everyone and I'm not kidding around!!!

Pete Buttigieg is just a faggot.
It's very important to me that younger queers understand this: to the people who you're trying to be more respectable for when you say things like neopronouns set the trans movement back or you're why the cishets don't accept us or including [aces/bi people with the 'wrong kind' of partners/non-binary people/kinksters/non-passing trans ppl/furries/polyam people] just hurts us, can't you wait until we get all our rights before we talk about some of yours? -- to those people? Pete Buttigieg is just a fag.
On Sunday at Pride Northwest, some kids -- late teens, early 20s -- asked what our button I survived Reagan for this? meant. All of the queer adults at the tables making up our ad hoc counter looked at each other and sighed a little. Emet and another adult started to explain the way that the Reagan Administration handled -- or didn't handle -- the beginning of the AIDS crisis. How many people died. How much we were ignored. The Ashes Action. The Time Magazine article which explicitly blamed bisexual men for passing the pandemic to the cishet community, playing on all the worst stereotypical bullshit. The way that even when the CDC started paying attention, they were so focused on gay men that they ignored AIDS in the lesbian community, leading to the "women don't get AIDS, they just die from it" poster. And so on.
I finished counting out change and passed the last Bear Pride raised fist pin over to a bear a little older than me, then turned my head and interjected, "they didn't care until it started infecting more than just the fags." I turned my head back and handed him his change. He laughed bitterly and said, "remember when they called it 'gay cancer?'"
That what I need you to understand. The people for whom you are folding yourself into smaller and smaller boxes will never see you as anything but a freak. A queer. A dyke. A tranny. A fag.
Never.
These are people who will stand by and let you wither away and die alone, gasping for breath in a cinderblock room, and not even claim your ashes, and they will say you deserve it, because of your lifestyle. If they speak of you at all it will be by the wrong name, with the pictures you hate the most. They will curse at your lover, throw him out of the home you shared, and steal the gift you gave last Christmas to throw it in the trash just so he can't have it and they'll say Jesus loves you! while they do it. They'll feel good and righteous and blessed and holy and pure for doing it.
And for them, you spit in the eye of your sister. For them, you disavow your sibling. For their sake, you trim away bits of your heart and lace yourself up tight. Never too loud. Never too queer. Never inconvenient or embarrassing, never asking for too much.
Pete Buttigieg is what happens when your Boomer dad turns out gay. Middle America. Parents still married. Suburban-sprouted. Valedictorian. Harvard-educated. Rhodes Scholarship. Military service. More power to him: I hope he and Chasten are very happy together. Genuinely, I do.
You couldn't create a more respectable gay if you grew one in a lab run by concerned voter focus groups.
But Pete Buttigieg? Is just a fag.
That's the part you don't seem to get: when they abandoned us, they abandoned all of us. Rock Hudson was a beloved movie star and even personally friendly with that horrid pair of ambitious jackals. Nancy Reagan refused to help him get into the only place in the world that could treat him at the time, and he died.
It was 1985, 4 years after the CDC first released papers on what would eventually become known as HIV/AIDS and 7 years after the first known death from an infection from HIV-2. Reagan hadn't even said the word AIDS by the time Hudson died.
Pete Buttigieg is just a fag, and so am I. Unless I'm a dyke, which seems to depend on who's yelling what from which window and what day it is.
Yes, there will be people who genuinely love and accept you. Those people are worth all the frustration of the rest, thankfully, and they're the ones who love you in a pup mask or a leather harness and a neon jock like the ones sold by the men up the row from us last weekend. They're the ones who laugh out loud when you tell them you hid the word "dyke" in your company name, the ones who love you in all your messiness and uncertainty and the way you don't fit into neat boxes all scrubbed up and clean.
Most cishets, though... well, they don't actively mean you specifically any harm, at least not when they have to look at you. Not when you're right there in front of them. Maybe they'll be okay with you, personally, especially if you're the kind of gay who makes a good rhetorical device, and as long as you remain a good rhetorical device.
They need people to know that they don't have a problem with the gays, after all, and there you are, being all convenient. You make a nice token, and as long as you do, well. You're useful.
But they call you by your deadname when you're not around, and they put the wrong pronouns in your medical record even though they met you years after you came out, and they won't put themselves out to save you. Not one little bit.
I didn't want to be here again. The year I graduated from high school was the worst year of the AIDS crisis. The world into which I became an adult was a world in which an advisor and friend to Reagan, William F. Buckley, openly advocated for forcibly tattooing the HIV status of HIV+ gay men on their buttocks (and IV drug users on their forearms), and in which my father not only told me that when I was 14 or so, but when was told me that he'd advocated for that tattoo being "over their assholes."
(Buckley wrote that in '86, but he doubled down on it in 2005.
Fucker.)
But yeah. I didn't want to be here again. I wanted my daughter to inherit a better world. I wanted Obergefell and Lawrence v. Texas and Hope & Change to really mean something. I work for it, today and all days. I haven't given up.
I need you to know that, too. This isn't a white flag. I'm not surrendering. This isn't over. To misquote Henry Rollins, this is what Marsha and Sylvia and Stormé and Leslie and Brenda and Auntie Sugar trained us for. This is punk rock time.
But I need you to understand that if Pete Buttigieg is just a fag, if that human embodiment of a Wonder Bread, mayo and Oscar Meyer bologna sandwich is not respectable enough for them -- and he's not -- then the rest of us have absolutely no hope of measuring up. Not even if we trim away every colorful, beautiful piece of our community, not even if the Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence vanish into the ether, not even if we sacrifice the five elements of vogue on the altar of white supremacist cishet middle-class conformity: we can't trim ourselves down to something they'll accept.
The only other option is radical acceptance of our queer selves. The only other option is solidarity. The only other option is for fats and femme queens and drags and kinksters and queers and zine writers and sex workers and furries and addicts and kids and the ones who can look us in the eye and see all of us to say we're here, we're queer, get used to it just the way we did 30 years ago. It's revolutionary, complete and total acceptance of our entire community, not just the ones the cishets can pretend to be comfortable with as long as we don't challenge them too much, or it's conceding the shoreline inch by inch to the rising waters of fascism until we've got nowhere left to stand and some of us start drowning.
That's it. Either it's all of us or it's none of us, because if we leave the answer up to the Reagans of the world and all the people who enabled him in the name of lower taxes and Democrats who wring their hands, weeping oh I don't agree with it but we'll lose the election if we fight it right now, the answer is none of us.
The brunch gays can come, too, I guess.

You're a cheater, and so is Jungkook. 
You cheat on your boyfriend.
He cheats on his brother. 
You should feel guilty, and to be honest, you actually feel it. But the way Jungkook kisses your neck with such devotion is completely holy. And you can't help but dive into the deep.
Your back slams against the bathroom door, the music blaring outside as you release a soft groan, overcome by the intensity of his kisses on your neck, sending shivers down your spine. With your skirt lifted to your hips, he squeezes your ass cheeks firmly, drawing you closer against his hips.
Each time Jungkook's lips meet yours, his desperation grows palpable, mirroring your own. It's been nearly a month since you last saw each other. During that time apart, you were traveling with his brother to Japan on a romantic trip. His touch speaks not only of longing but of possessiveness and anger. He presses you against him as if afraid you might slip away, and maybe you would.
Caught in the fervor of the moment, the air thick with tension and desire, you struggle to reconcile the conflicting emotions swirling within you. The memory of the romantic trip to Japan with his brother lingers, casting a shadow over the illicit passion shared in this cramped restroom.
But Jungkook's touch ignites a primal longing, erasing rational thought as his fingers trace fiery patterns along your skin. His kisses speak of yearning and frustration, a silent plea for reassurance in the midst of chaos.
As he presses you closer, his grip tightening with each heartbeat, you teeter on the edge of recklessness. The lines blur between right and wrong, desire and guilt, as you surrender to the intoxicating whirlwind of forbidden affection.
You've been in a committed relationship with Jungkook's brother for two years. However, there's a complicated history between you and Jungkook. For three years, you engaged in a casual sex with him, unaware of his deeper feelings for you. 
Jungkook's brother, was always aware of Jungkook's love for you, still harbors feelings for you himself. The situation becomes even more tangled as Jungkook's brother remains oblivious to your past involvement with Jungkook. 
Jungkook is in love with you, and you don't know whom you are in love with. 
Is it wrong to say both?
You don't know.
As you ran your fingers through Jungkook's long hair, you couldn't shake the feeling that he was the one meant for you. With each touch, you could sense the anticipation in his breath, his hard dick evident under the pants he was wearing, ready to give you pleasure.
As you raised your leg to meet his hip, increasing the contact and friction between you two, his moans echoed your own desire. 
"I've missed the sound of your moan so much, Kook", you confessed softly as he captured your lower lip between his teeth.
"I missed you so much" he murmured as he took his fingers to the fabric of your panties, caressing your clit.  As your moans filled the air, you locked eyes with him.
"You're dripping wet for me," he whispers, his tongue grazing his lips, eyes ablaze with lust.
“I am,” you breathe, your gaze drawn to his fingers expertly exploring your most sensitive spot. "I bet you're going to slide it inside my pussy" you say, running your thumb between his lips and he smiles for a second before wrapping the tip of your finger in his own lips and sucking slowly.
"Is this what you want?" he asks, his voice low and intense. "Getting fucked at your homecoming party with all your friends and your boyfriend down stairs?"
You meet his gaze with unwavering determination. "Yes," you affirm, your desire mirroring his own. 
"And will you be able to be fucked by me in silence? You always scream for more and you know it" he challenges, his eyes piercing into yours, stripping away any semblance of restraint.
Your body quivers with anticipation, every nerve tingling with the need for Jungkook to consume you entirely. The ache between your thighs grows unbearable, aching for his touch, his possession. Your pussy is clenching around nothing and your body is burning with such need to have Jungkook ruin you.
"You're nothing but a bitch," he growls, his voice thick with anger, as he wrenches your thigh from his hip and guides you forcefully to the expansive mirror in the dimly lit bathroom of your boyfriend's friend's house. Your makeup, though still intact, is disheveled, a reflection of the turmoil within, mirrored by Jungkook's own tousled appearance. His arm, adorned with tattoos, encircles your hair tightly, anchoring you in place before the mirror, forcing you to stare your own reflection.
Your gaze flickers away momentarily, only to be drawn back as Jungkook unzips his pants. The mirror reflects a tantalizing glimpse of his throbbing cock, glistening with precum. 
With a firm grip on your hair, Jungkook asserts his dominance, guiding you downward until your torso bends, and your ass protrudes invitingly. Gripping the sink with both hands, you submit to his command, yielding to the primal urge that courses through your veins. Slowly, you press your hips against his, the friction igniting a wildfire of sensation.
"Filthy whore," he hisses, his voice a seductive snarl, "You'll watch your own reflection as I wreck you." In that moment, there is only the two of you. 
Jungkook's cockhead slips effortlessly into the slick folds of your drenched core, eliciting a soft whimper of longing from deep within you. You ache for release, for the sweet release of ecstasy that only he can provide.
But Jungkook is a master of anticipation, a tantalizing tease who revels in the power of control. 
"You must beg," his voice resonates with authority, sending shivers cascading down your spine. 
"What?" you gasp, the urgency in your voice betraying your desire.
"Beg," he commands, his tone unwavering, a testament to his dominance. 
Your entire being quivers in response, consumed by the overwhelming need to surrender to him completely. "Jungkook..." you whimper.
"Beg," he repeats.
"Please, fuck me. Fill me with your dick, I need you so fucking much," you implore. The words spill from your lips like a fervent prayer, a desperate plea born of raw desire.
And he does.  
With a swift motion, Jungkook guides his dick into you, his entry a fusion of desire and urgency, with a strong thrust. Your breath catches in your throat as he plunges deep, filling you to the brink. His cock pulses within you as he stretches the walls of your pussy. 
You stifle a gasp, your hand instinctively flying to cover your mouth, suppressing the scream that threatens to escape. Jungkook's grip tightens on your hair, his touch both commanding and possessive as he anchors himself to your hip, driving his movements with unbridled passion. Deep and strong. You clenching uncontrollably against his dick. 
"Always so tight, no matter how many times I fuck that pussy, it's always so hot and tight for my dick" he says, in between shallow, panting breaths. 
“And you’re always huge, I can never get used to you, Jungkook” you look at him through the reflection in the mirrors. His hair falls over his forehead and his eyes are sharp, dark with desire, his brow is furrowed and the dimples in his cheeks appear through his lips pressed together.
Jungkook's movements are primal, each thrust an affirmation of his dominance. With every stroke, he delves deeper into the depths of your being, unraveling you with each relentless push.
His words, whispered against your skin: "You're mine," he growls.
You surrender to him completely, lost in the intoxicating pleasure and surrender. 
"I'm going to fill you with cum" he growls, increasing the pace of his thrusts, "I'm going to leave you dripping so you can go back to your party and talk to people who have no idea what we're doing right under their noses." Jungkook lets go of your hair and leans over your back and grabs your neck, squeezing it. "and then you're going to kiss my brother's mouth with your panties dirty with my cum and he doesn't even imagine that I fuck that pussy like he's never been able to do."
As you whimper in response, he tightens his grip on your throat, a firm reminder of his control. With gentle insistence, he lifts your chin, directing your gaze to the reflection before you. His face rests against your shoulder, his breath hot against your skin as his movements grow more forceful, his cock plunging in and out of your slick pussy.
A faint moan escapes your lips, and in response, he tightens his hold, a silent command for silence. Tears well in your eyes, a testament to the raw intensity of the moment, as you surrender to the overwhelming sensations coursing through you.
As the intensity builds, a primal urgency fills the air, heightening the sensation of every thrust. With each movement, you feel yourself teetering on the edge of ecstasy.
Jungkook's breath grows ragged, his movements becoming more erratic as he approaches the brink of release. With a guttural groan, he drives himself deeper, his rhythm becoming more desperate, more urgent.
"Does he know you like being fucked raw and hard?" Jungkook asks, his voice echoing throughout the bathroom. You moan softly and close your eyes tightly, biting your own lip.
"Does he know?" he asks once again.
"No, he doesn't know." you respond weakly, your voice barely leaving your lips.
And then, he surrenders to the pleasure, his body trembling with the force of his climax. You feel him pulsing within you, and he releases long jets of cum inside your pussy.
But the relentless rhythm of his thrusts continues unabated. His movements pushes you closer to the edge. His touch ignites a fire within you, consuming you.  
And then, in a moment of pure abandon, you come. It crashes over you like a wave, washing away any semblance of restraint. Your body quivers with the intensity of it.
As Jungkook presses his lips tenderly against your shoulder, then your neck, and finally a lingering kiss on your cheek, he leaves you to contemplate your reflection in the mirror. His departure leaves a palpable absence, a lingering warmth that still courses through your veins.
"Are you okay?" he inquires, his voice soft with concern as he begins to tidy himself up. 
“Yeah,” you manage to murmur, your gaze still fixed on the reflection before you.
Straightening your back, you turn to face him, finding solace in the warmth of his touch as he cups your face and plants a gentle kiss upon your lips. 
"See you down there?" he asks, a hint of anticipation.
With a nod, you offer him a faint smile, your heart heavy with the weight of unspoken words.
As Jungkook slips away discreetly, ensuring that no prying eyes catch sight of him, you're left alone in the bathroom, consumed by a torrent of guilt that threatens to suffocate you. 
You're truly fucked.

🍸Saturn in Houses🍸
A lot of people ask me about Saturn in houses so I decided to make a new series about Saturn in houses in general.
☕️Most important thing about Saturn is that Saturn represent time , age ,reward , growth but in some kind of different way than Jupiter. Also represents your way of coping with life,things that you are more serious about and more responsible with. It also represents holidays. The planet is known for its reality and practicality, but also for its tendency to excessive strictness. His expectations may be too high. A strong Saturn in chart can indicate that we want to control everything in our life to the point that we consider ourselves a failure if we fail to reach the goals we have set for ourselves. However, Saturn provides the desire for we develop the areas in which we feel weak and this weakness can therefore become our greatest virtue. Strong Saturn connection between two charts in relationship (especially if saturn is in aspect with the moon or the sun) indicates a serious long-term commitment that can last forever (whether we like it or not). Saturn can also be cruel sometimes because it is the planet of hard reality but it also the planet that help us the most to achieve something much more greater than that.
🫧Saturn in 1st house- in your early age you can have problems with yourself image ,with your appearance ,confidence & energy. It can also be hard for you to express yourself. With Saturn here you can feel weak sometimes. You can feel like you don't have that much power that other people do have or you can feel like you are not good enough. Many people may underestimate you. Many times you can give off a very different energy than it really is (especially when people meet you for the first time). You are a more closed person and you only give energy to those who deserve it.
✨Saturn in 2nd house- maybe it's hard for you to find your value or set boundaries for yourself. You have very strong and serious approach to money you will never buy something that it's like I don't know some random thing. Also a lot of people think that you cannot work with money or things related to money maybe people don't trust you with that but this is all because they don't really know how smart you actually are. Low self-esteem is a characteristic trait of this placement in astrology. Self-confidence doesn’t come easy to you, though.
⭐️Saturn in 3rd house- many people underestimate your thinking, expression, intelligence. U can usually get insecure about the way you speak or the way you say some things. I think the fear in this house is that you are afraid that you will say something wrong. You have to be confident in whatever thing you say and you should say confidently because you are intelligent ,you're smart. You can also be a good writer & speaker. Many people can pass their driving test late, but that's exactly why they drive much better than others. You can get along better with your siblings later in life. You are capable of seeing things in depth.
🎧Saturn in 4th house- you can have a lot of rules in your early years. You grow up with rules at home that you can stick to. Your parents are more strict with you and allow you to do certain things later. I just feel like that parents will buy you a phone later in life or something. People usually come from a family where they weren’t emotionally nourished. But it's not always like that because when it comes to family the Moon is great indicator for how you feel at home and how you vibe at home. So saturn doesn't mean that your family cannot be good. You can also be the person who grows the fastest in the family.
❄️Saturn in 5th house- dating life can be very serious topic for you. You cannot date people with whom you don't feel that you can have committed relationships with. Saturn brings a strong desire for fame, recognition, and success but may result in delays and disappointments in love life and artistic creations. U can also struggle to find love. You can also have very high standards when it comes to love because 5th house represent dating ,represent meeting people and flirting and falling in love so usually people who have Saturn in 5th house are very serious when it comes to that. In some cases, your partners are older than you. Often, your love life significantly improves after the age of thirty. Your best relationships will probably come later in life. As you become more carefree and spontaneous, you become more attractive to others.
🍃Saturn in 6th house- you can have a lot of struggles in the work. You feel that working is just anxiety for you or when you work, people are just rude or mean to you. You are always in the shadow at work. People find you like you are not good enough or you don't do the job good enough. You can also stress a lot about your health and you can also be obsessed with being in the some kind of routine or having some lifestyle. Being healthy all the time.
🐚Saturn in 7th house- there can be issues with your relationships. You can have relationships in your early years or you don’t have for a long time. You usually have many karmic relationships from which you can learn a lot. Saturn helps you to choose the right person for yourself and to be happy in the end. You are a person who is serious when it comes to a relationship (when you find a person, then that person is the one and only for you), you hate cheating, and when you decide to leave then you leave. Saturn can also bring a sense of responsibility and duty to relationships. The individual may take their relationships seriously and work hard to maintain them.
☁️Saturn in 8th house- there can be a lot of family secrets that family kept from you. People with Saturn in this house usually feel very lonely or alone in their soul. They have this mindset that you are all alone in this world. You are aware of the hard truth in life that people don't. You can fear the death of loved ones. If you overcome the challenges of your Saturn in the eighth house, you will be able to understand people very well. You can develop a talent to see into the soul. Saturn here gives you a deep understanding of life, death, crisis, transformation, and sometimes a talent for healing.
⚡️Saturn in 9th house- Saturn gives you a deeper view of the world in which you live. Saturn in ninth house people have very strict moral code. This placement indicated a religious person, someone who either follows the set rules or makes their own views. You meet new people and experience new activities that make you see the world from a new perspective. You can also meet a lot of people that change your perspective and your mindset. But there can also be a deep fear of new views. Maybe you don't feel like you're not smart enough or that you're not educated enough.
🖤Saturn in 10th house- You usually go over many obstacles to finally achieve what you really want. Many people have problems with whether they will ever be successful or achieve it. But in the end, they achieve even more. Many times people don't believe in you and see you as a person who will never be that successful and then you surprise them all. You can learn a lot from your father and your father can be your role model or a person who helps you through life. The best advice will give you your father.
🫐Saturn in 11th house-you can have a lot of karmic friendships and you can change a lot of friends in your life. Every friend that you have is the friend that you have to learn something from them. Your hopes and wishes are another important life area associated with this house. It shows everything that comes into your life and how your dreams can come true. Saturn in eleventh house suggests that you are quiet and reserved when in a group. Sometimes you feel invisible: it feels like no one hears you out in a group. In this lifetime, you have to learn how to have a healthy relationship with groups and how to behave in your social circle.
🥃Saturn in 12th house- The individual may experience a strong sense of responsibility towards charitable or behind-the-scenes work. Sometimes you don’t let even those the closest to you to see your weaknesses. As a child, you had to learn to hide your feelings, especially the negative ones. You absorb all the energies around you, and if you are surrounded by negativity, it can affect you badly. It can happen that you have a job that requires you to be isolated in some way. Maybe you work in a hospital or prison. You are often unaware of the reason why you are in pain. If you have planets in the twelfth house, you can benefit a lot from psychotherapy. But when you have Saturn return you can benefit a lot from it and you can become very spiritual opened and you can have a lot of blessings.
