#For up to another couple of weeks

Bad News, But Also Good News

So I heard back from Geek Squad this morning. It's the motherboard in my gaming laptop which needs replacing. Since I bought this one directly from HP Canada, not Best Buy, it's not a model they have access to get the part for, so they've shipped it back unrepaired.

BUT - the good news. Someone, I assume while they were checking to see if I was owed any rebate of the repair fee I pre-paid, double-checked its warranty status. Turns out I still have 25 days left on it's 3 Year Care Pack coverage, which I hadn't seen when checking the HP site myself, because it's on a detail page I didn't access - the summary I did see on my HP dash just says "details unavailable", which I thought meant there was no coverage. I bought it three years ago, I figured it had been 1 to 2 year coverage.

So the Geek Squad guy read me off the serial number for my laptop (since it's currently in transit from southern Ontario) and told me to contact HP directly for service. After a half hour or so spent with someone on chat^ they agreed that yup, sounds like it's probably a hardware issue, and are shipping me a shipping box to ship it in for service.

So it's going to take a while longer, but the laptop should eventually be fixed.

Also, since it was actually still under warranty? Best Buy is fully refunding the repair fee. Thank you, Geek Squad guy!

^ either a bot or someone with a script they had to rigidly follow despite whatever the customer told them - hello, the Geek Squad diagnostician says the motherboard is fried, I don't think holding down the power button for 15 seconds is going to cut it, but sure, yes, that was something I actually did do before sending it out for repair.

#Geek Squad #Who were both unable to but did help me #And my beloved #Darkomen Laptop #Which it sounds like I'm probably going to remain without #For up to another couple of weeks #Given turnarounds on shipping things

BECCA THESE SUBBY DBF!BUCKY THOTS ARE KILLING ME IN THE BEST WAY I LOVE IT SO MUCH😩😵‍💫🤤

Coming back to this because my weakness is submissive older men 🤤

Just the thought of clamping your hands around his neck while you're on top and watching him lose it makes me dizzy.

I absolutely love the thought of fucking yourself on him, grinding your hips back and forth with his length inside you while he whimpers and moans beneath you.

He's surrendered all the control he's ever had. You both know that it'd take very little effort if he decided he wanted to change the dynamic but he has no interest in doing that.

He wants you on top of him, using him for your own pleasure rather than his. He wants you to leave scratches down his chest where your nails have sunk into his skin. He wants flushed, stinging cheeks, reminding him of each little slap you've given him when his eyes flutter shut and he stops looking at you for even a few seconds.

But then one of your hands cups his neck and that feels like an entirely different kind of submission. It's not a painful sensation that he expects when he imagines being submissive in bed; it's dizzying. The light pressure on his neck is delightful but more than anything, it feels like you're fully in control. He's vulnerable like this and he loves it.

"Both hands. Please." He's never sounded so needy and any hesitation you might have felt a few seconds ago melts away. Your other hand joins the first, wrapped around his neck, your fingers squeezing slightly and he looks entirely blissed out underneath you.

"Oh fuck." He groans, thrusting his hips up towards you in a desperate attempt to make sure he's buried as deep inside you as he can manage.

"You're fucking pathetic like this." You tease, adjusting your grip on his neck to remind him exactly where your hands are. You feel his pulse under your fingers and you feel your body flutter at the realisation. "You're losing yourself in me, aren't you?"

His eyes close for a few seconds while he tries to focus on the sensation, rather than the sight of you but that won't do. You take one hand from his neck, slapping his face gently and the rush he feels from the release of pressure is euphoric.

"Did I say you could look away?" You tease, putting your hand back on his throat, keeping your grip tight while he shakes his head.

His hands land on your hips, helping you grind back and forth on him, rubbing his length right where you need it. He probably won't get off like this but you absolutely could.

"I want to feel you cum. I need you to squeeze my neck and my cock at the same time." He's fantasised about this and it shows.

"Make me." You were half joking but he starts working your hips faster, setting the pace he knows you like until he stops suddenly, holding your hips still.

"God, I can't cum yet. I don't want this to end." You forgive him this time for closing his eyes, giving him a moment to collect himself before he's back to fucking you on him, begging you to squeeze his neck harder.

starting to think about 90% percent of my problems in life are due to me having life ruining levels of executive dysfunction

Not sure if you really do asks but I wanted to know; how you do your little comics?

They’re so high quality, with the painterly style and all, and you seem to make so many of them!

my ask policy is i'd like to do em better but generally if i dont reply instantly or have an easy answer i'll let them gather dust in the box and fail to ever get to it

luckily for this one i have an easy way out since i can just point you to the post i made on that a while ago which is pretty much entirely still valid

#replying/reposting for a reminder i guess #still use the exact same pen and brushes & my watercolor tray is still that nasty #this post or another version of it shouild have ended up in an FAQ section that i never got around to make either #extra details huuhhhh idk #uncolored comics backlog is still pretty bad if i dont get back to it efficiently enough i'm at risk of runnin out of colored ones 2 post #due to being day-busy again past few weeks i'm even dealing with a couple comics not having been entirely drawn either #not great not ideal the funk i'm in is still preddy real #eh i'll work it out #bla bla bla

No new huevember post today! I’m taking a brief hiatus over the weekend because I have a deadline for my job coming up and I need a few days to focus on that.

In the meantime my huevember works for Critical Role, The Locked Tomb, and Secret Life are currently on sale on my print shop if you feel like checking that out :D

I’ll be back with Day 11 next week!! ✨😄

#huevember #15% off hooray #the Laudna print will go up once the episode is out on YouTube just cause spoilers #Ill have to take another weekend hiatus in a couple weeks as well for more job stuff #but I’ll just push Day 30 into December it’s not a big deal #(I was recovering from Covid last time I did huevember so I didn’t also have to contend with a job haha) #also if you’ve commissioned art from me I’ll be reaching out this weekend as well :D

Belated munday post but the little one is settling in nicely! He's taken to watching me when he thinks I'm not looking at him, horrible camera quality as the angle is wonky but the tank looks better/is more sizable than it appears from the side!

Unfortunately I forgot that flash was enabled and he slipped back into his cool hide after. Sorry for startling you, sweetheart. 😔

#🐍 || ooc #;; mun bullshit #He's been here just over a week and seems to be settling in quite nicely <3 #Loves his pinkies and is getting better with handling #The first two times he was quite a bit more flightly #Today he was calmer and just slithering through my fingers nicely #Gonna leave him alone a day or two so he can keep settling in and he'll get another pinky in another couple of days #I have no idea how old he is but think he was a bit underfed #Needs more than a little pinky every week sagsfsf #Sorry to have been quiet today was mostly recouping and resting up all day #Didn't have much energy beyond typical chores but feeling way less sore/exhausted now :D #Ror's an anery corn btw! #He looks so much prettier irl than the camera shows all these lovely greys and blacks and mochas <3 #Will try and get something done tonight now I'm feeling a bit better about writing

@marauders-girls-ships-microfics may 15, together, wc: 384

They’re in Marlene’s flat, hidden between the tall buildings and shady alleyways of London, and Marlene can’t bring herself to look into Mary’s eyes. Not when this conversation has managed to extract emotions she’s been hiding for a long time, not when her own eyes are stained crimson and gathering tears.

Instead, she looks down at her shoes, and she can sense Mary sitting closely next to her. She says, “We can be together. I promise, we’ll be fine. We can figure it all out. Together.”

“Marlene…” Mary’s voice is barely above a whisper, scarcely audible. Maybe she only means to be heard by herself, Marlene, and whatever tortured soul observes them in their pain. “I can’t, I have to—”

“Do you love me?” Marlene interrupts her to ask. Because deep down, even though she knows this is reality and not a fairytale, she holds a bundle of hope.

“Don’t do that…” Mary shakes her head lightly.

“Do you?”

“You know I do,” she states, but it doesn’t mean she’ll follow her heart, Marlene knows that. And that’s what hurts the most. They could be together, they could spend a lifetime by each other’s side, they could be one of those happy couples Marlene sees on the street, holding hands, enjoying their life, but the universe wasn’t as kind to them. “I’m leaving tomorrow. I have to do this, I’m sorry.”

“We can run away,” Marlene proposes hopelessly. “You don’t have to do this.”

“I do.” Marlene feels a soft hand untangle some of her curls, lightly, almost hesitantly, and she almost pulls away. She can’t stand knowing that she won’t be able to feel that touch again in her life. The hand travels to her neck, to her jawline, it guides her to finally face Mary, and it hurts more than she could imagine.

Mary gently pushes some messy curls away from Marlene’s forehead, tucks them behind her ear. And all that to place an almost painful farewell kiss on her lips.

If Marlene could, if she had the strength to carry herself, she would have stopped her from walking out, from putting a forever end to a love that survived through years of friendship.

If she had the strength, she would have at least told her she loved her one last time.

Gave myself 2 hours to knit today + starting a new project to stave off the winter sads. This is the first 20 rows of a Niebling doily (Pinia) that will probably turn out to be closer to table cloth size in this yarn. (Hobbii Cotton Kings Sultan in Carnelian)

I got this yarn out of a mystery bag several years ago, she's very not a colour way I would ever choose to buy on my own but I think she's really cute. I think she'll go well with the flower design of Pinia, I hope the lightest peach makes it to the end of the mesh petals but the transitions on Sultan are usually good enough that no matter where the lightest peach ends it'll probably look fine. I would be surprised if I didn't have enough yarn for this but also probably cry a little. There's no way I'd be willing to buy more of this colourway so she'd probably end up in the shame pile for the foreseeable future.
