#LOVE YOU CURIO :D

[sophieswundergarten]

There should be, like, evil fic exchanges.

Where you take a list of things that bug someone (Not something that scares them!! Nothing triggering!!! Just mildly irritating) and then try and write the most annoying fic you can, designed specifically for that person

#Akfjfdjdjdj #I can't stop thinking about the one Curio arranged #LOVE YOU CURIO :D #But also I thought I'd be a funny thing to see who would voluntarily participate #Like when fic writers laugh to themselves when the comments are all threatening to eat their floorboards #Ajdjfjdjddj #Ignore me I'm going insane over here in my own little corner #not mbs

Hello! I don't know if you can still request it, but how about a reaction where Fem reader gives a gift to Bullfrog/Rayman/Ramon where inside the gift box is a positive pregnancy test? :3

Thank you for the request !

It’s very wholesome to imagine how the boys would react to something like this , I had fun trying to write it all down :D 

Hope it turned out okay ! 

Details : use of female reader ;

established relationships ; 

no warnings needed 

Bullfrog 💚

Bullfrog was one who can tell right away when something about you is a bit different than usual , so when you entered the room his in with that twinkle in your eye he immediately gave you his full attention . 

< y/n , my dear , is there something you’d like to tell me ? > 

< Heh , was it that obvious ? > 

< Oui , let’s just say that I know you very , very well ~ > 

Even though you were feeling at least a bit anxious about giving your partner such a big news , his comment ended up making you chuckle : 

there was no way you could ever be tensed or worried about anything , the frog always knew what to say to help you cheer up .

< Okay … okay , I actually just found out about this , and I just really wanted you to know because let me tell you , it’s pretty big . > 

Bullfrog’s expression grew even more curios when you revealed what you were hiding behind your back ( he had noticed it right away , nothing could really escape his sight especially when it came to you ) , handing it to him : 

it looked like a small gift box , with a pretty green ribbon keeping it locked . 

He slowly unwrapped it to be greeted by a pregnancy test with two lines showing up on the tiny screen , a clear display that it was positive .

He was … speechless .

< Mon amour … this … does this mean that … ? >

His eyes moved from you to the test , and slowly a huge smile formed on his face . 

You nodded in response , walking closer to your beloved frog to hold his hands in yours .

< Mhm , we might need to prepare to have a new addition to our family , love .

I understand if it’s a bit sudden , but - > 

Before you could finish the sentence , Bullfrog had leaned forward to place a little kiss on your lips , staring at you with a tender gaze that melted your anxieties right away .

< This is wonderful news , mon chou … I’m so happy I get to experience something like this with you . 

No matter what comes next I’ll take care of us … je vous promets . > 

< Thank you Bullfrog … I … I love you so much ~ > 

< Je t'aime aussi , y/n … mon cœur t'appartient pour toujours ~ > 

Rayman 🧡

< I’m sorry to bother you while you’re still working Ray … I promise you , this won’t take long . > 

< Nah , don’t worry about any of that sweetie : I’m pretty much done with the script for my next interview … besides , listening to what my beloved has to say is a lot more important than that stuff ~ > 

< Pfft … very smooth ~ > 

You watched as Rayman sat down on the couch , the last rays of sun shining through the glass window of his lounge .

< Alrighty then , what did you want to tell me y/n ? > 

, he asked , looking at you with a spark of curiosity in his black eyes :

he remembered seeing you very thoughtful that morning as well , but since unfortunately he needed to leave to attend the News like usual there hadn’t been enough time for either of you to discuss much …

However , now that he was back home to you , his beautiful girlfriend , he was determined to give you all of his attention . 

< Well , I … god , I’m not sure how to say this … I’m just gonna skip to the important part . > 

You sat beside him , handing Rayman what appeared to be a small gift box .

All of that tension for a gift … ? 

No … there was definitely something more to it . 

He opened it , and as soon as he realized what was inside you saw his eyes widened …

< y/n … ! > 

You smiled while watching him stare at the positive pregnancy test in disbelief , and before you could even begin to say something Rayman had already wrapped his hands around you , locking you in a tight embrace . 

< Oh y/n my love , I’m so happy ! I can’t believe we’re - you and me — 

This is incredible ! This is amazing ! > 

You both stood there for a few minutes , laughing together , completely overjoyed at the thought of having a child … then Rayman suddenly pulled away .

< Oh god - did I hurt you by grabbing you like that ?

I’m so sorry darling , I need to be more careful , I was just so excited and - > 

< I’m okay , I’m okay , don’t worry honey ! > 

Either of you seemed to be able to stop smiling , and when you leaned forward to place a kiss on the tip of his nose Rayman’s gaze softened …

He never thought that he’d be able to share that sort of happiness with anyone , it really looked like his future was going to be bright as long as you were by his side .

Ramon 🖤

< So , y/n … what did you want to tell me ?

Are you okay ? Did something happen ? > 

< Don’t worry Ram , I’m just fine , this is just … something that you won’t expect . > 

You watched Ramon stare at you intently from the chair he was sitting on …

The first thing he had assumed when you asked him to talk was that it was going to be bad news of some sorts , which very much reflected just how overprotective of you he had become now that Eden was hunting you both down .

You took a deep breath , handing him the gift box hidden behind your back , and when he took it you could see a look of curiosity and confusion on his face …

< What is - > 

< Just open it hun , the answer to your questions is right there . > 

< Hm … sounds like someone’s been planning this whole thing out pretty well … > 

< Heh , well you know me : I love surprising you ~ > 

You heard Ramon chuckle in response , then finally opened up the tiny box , unable to hide his eagerness to do so …

And the room fell silent for a few seconds .

< y/n … ? Are … are you really … ? > 

He was barely able to say anything , his head spinning in front of the revelation of the pregnancy test …

You smiled softly , watching as one of his hands wandered on your belly , giving it an affectionate caress .

< Since when … ? > 

< Ah , I found out not that long ago … just this morning , actually .

I wanted to find a nice way to tell you though , so I decided to organize this . 

Are … you surprised ? > 

There was a spark of joy in his eyes that you hadn’t seen in a very , very long time , and when Ramon leaned forward to meet your lips in a sweet , passionate kiss you were able to figure out that the answer was yes .

< Mm … you got me fair and square , my love ~ 

God , this … this doesn’t even feel real … 

I swear , I’m not gonna let anyone hurt us and our family , no matter how many strings Eden pulls . 

I … I won’t let anyone come near our child . > 

< I know you won’t , Ram … > 

As you got lost into your boyfriend’s eyes , you could feel your worries for the future fade away , leaving you with a calming peace :

together , there was nothing that the two of you couldn’t do , and if Eden wanted to come between the two of you ? 

Well , they were going to find out just how strong the love you felt for each other truly was .

[mosneakers]

Tycho would go on to break his promise to Coraleye, having told her he’d call her when he gets back to Strangerville. In fact, it's been barely three minutes into his drive, the memory of their last kiss and her soft lips still lingering in his mind like a film reel on loop, when Tycho's resolve crumbles and he reaches for his phone.

"Coraleye..." He swoons as she answers his call.

Tycho can vividly picture Erwin's smug grin as he imagines him jokingly calling him a pathetic goon. But that doesn't matter to Tycho. Actually, looking back on tonight's events, he can't quite recall what possessed him to feel so jealous—likely just a stressful situation with emotions running high for everyone. Coraleye was right—Erwin is his best friend. And at the end of the day, Tycho gets Coraleye all to himself. He knows this from the way she lovingly promises it through whispers over the phone, stirring butterflies within him.

Tycho: I... I can multitask you know... I just miss you already. One little picture isn't gonna hurt...

Coraleye: Huh-uh! Not while you're driving, Tycho. You know how I feel about risky stuff like that, safety first.

Tycho: [Frustrated, playful groan] You're killing me, Darling.

Coraleye: That's what I'm trying to avoid.

Tycho: Okay, how about this, I need to stop for gas anyway. Pretty sure the nearest gas station is less than 5—

Coraleye: I'll talk to you soon, Tyke. Love you. [Laughter] Tycho: I- I love you too. Is that a yes or—

Tycho clumsily juggles his phone while pumping gas, his fingers fumbling with the touchscreen as he eagerly awaits Coraleye's message. Her name pops up on his screen, and it's like a gift from the heavens, his jaw drops when he opens it. Mesmerized by the photo, he struggles to formulate the perfect response. Suddenly, his phone chirps loudly indicating an incoming call, causing him to jump and spill a bit of gas as it overflows onto the pavement. Cursing softly, he quickly wipes his hands and tries to regain his composure before redirecting his attention back to his phone. "Coni," it reads. His stomach drops as he eagerly accepts, his heart racing as he puts the phone to his ear. Tycho: CONI???

Coni: Hey. You alone right now? Tycho: Hey? Y-yes—Where have you been? Everyone's worried sick about you... Coni: Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Listen— Erwin almost got abducted tonight. Tycho: WHAT? Coni: It was a close call. Right next to his Curio-stand, as he was getting off work. They... they almost had him, but I pulled him in last minute. He didn't know it was me, I was in a different disguise. Tycho: D-did you—

Coni: Erase his memory? No. I told him that they're going to eliminate him. I needed him to remember it. He went home right after. The news is all over it, Tycho. Vans surrounding the scene as we speak. I can't keep watching him, you'll need to step in. Tycho: I... I'm on the way. Coni... what happened? Between you and Sunglo? Things were going so well, I don't understand. Coni: [Brief pause] He knows. Tycho's head feels like it's spinning in circles. Tycho: [Voice quivering] He... he knows what exactly? [Voice quivering] Everything?

Coni: Not everything. He knows about me. I told him. I was tired, Tycho. Tycho can't argue or question her, he knows exactly how she feels.

Tycho: Does Coraleye know? Coni: [Long sigh] He promised not to tell anyone, but I'd be surprised if he didn't tell her. Tycho: Oh god, I... Tycho begins to hyperventilate, he can feel himself begin to unravel.

Coni: Just relax. It's all gonna work out, I got it under control. I'm an icon, remember? For now, just focus on getting back to Strangerville and keeping Erwin safe, got it?

Tycho finds a slight reprieve in Coni's reassurance, and he lets himself breathe a little. Tycho: I'll get there as soon as I can. But first, Coni? Coni: Yeah? Tycho: Can you call her? Coraleye? Just so she and... everyone knows you're okay. Glo's worried too. Coni: [Sighs] Sure, Tycho. I'll call her.

[the-24-7-lawlu-library]

Hi! Just read this fic (https://archiveofourown.org/works/33748141) and the post that inspired it (https://ladycrimsonandblack.tumblr.com/post/658164849325604866/brawltogethernow-brawltogethernow-tama-gives), and was wondering if you knew any other fics where Luffy is a Fae or a Changeling or just not really human? Thanks!

Hello ! Sorry this took us a while, as it seems there are very few fics that fall under that category, but here's what we've got for you:

The closest that comes to mind is :

Wild Wind At Dressrosa by khepiari (M)

[Mod notes: I am personally recommending this one as it is set in a world of magical realism. Luffy is not explicitly a magical creature, but there is certainly a certain magic and mystery surrounding him, which gives this story a whole air of surrealness and fairy tales.]

Doflamingo has troubles- to govern Dressrosa, collect taxes for the King, a womanizing Secretary, a stupid Brother, an angry Wife and a Rebelling Son who is romancing the Biggest Troublemaker- a Wayfaring Godless Curio-Shopkeeper, who is storming the calm streets of Dressrosa. Law's heart is hell-bent to unite with the Wild Wind called Monkey D Luffy- a tale of food, books, friendship and love.

The Moonwitch And His Dumb Werewolf (also) by khepiari (T)

A.U., Fantasy. Happy Ending. Three Part. LawLu (Switch Couple) When his village gets burned down and family captured by the bounty hunters, a young werewolf pup, Luffy, finds himself in the protection of a witch boy named Law and his father Corazon. As the war ravages, the magical creatures must unite to fight their biggest enemies; humans.

Perfect Completion by quackquackcey (E)

Water sprite Luffy curiously happens upon a gathering of vampires and falls at first sight for a certain golden-eyed vampire…but will his feelings be returned?~

A Crown of Flowers by @hyperbolicreverie (M)

The Wild is a mirror, a magic realm of possibility parallel to the mundane one, and people like Luffy, changelings who've made a devil's bargain for power, walk the line between worlds daily. When Luffy makes a mad dash to rescue his brother from certain death, he sets off a chain of events that makes the very foundations of that realm shudder. Soon, he's got several other people along for the ride, and the situation quickly spirals out of control. There's something the people in power aren't saying, and it might be the key to all the strange events that keep happening around them. Luffy just wants adventure and fun and freedom. Law just wants to be left alone to live his life. Kid wants to never be beholden to someone else again. And Ace just wants some goddamn agency for once. But there are other entities in the Wild with agendas of their own, and they don't care about what others want at all.

How To Snare A Life by xairylle (E)

Accidentally ensnaring a parasitic sexual demon and being his host wasn't exactly how Law wanted to end his night or his life for that matter. LawLu/LuLaw.

A Fleeting Moment (When the Sun Can Kiss the Moon) by purplehairedwonder (T)

Once upon a time, the Sun fell in love with the Moon.

[We also recommend checking the #Sun God Luffy tag for godly Luffy material.

And finally, not Fae Luffy, but we'd like to recommend Fae Law]

To Give You My Name by cosmicatta (M)

Trafalgar Law, last of the faes, had committed a fatal mistake 15 years ago: he had given Doflamingo his full name. Now, even after having escaped, the looming threat of his ownership still follows Law everyhwere he goes. He can only try to survive as a runaway, hoping to, someday, find a way to cut the invisible string tying him to his former captor. Until he meets Luffy. He’s just a regular human. But maybe that’s all Law needs.

And, ofc, the one you recommended:

waters of the wild by ladycrimsonandblack (T)

Even to his nakama, Luffy sometimes appears just a little bit too odd. (Or: Five times a Straw Hat notices something strange about Luffy, and the one time someone knows what's going on.)

We're also happy to tell you that your ask prompted some of our writers to give Fae Luffy a shot, so expect some new fics under that tag soon enough.

Hunch going to Fix for proposal advice, unaware how badly he fumbled his proposal to Pasha (I say this was so much love and affection). I imagine the outcome of that would go a little something like this:

“So, Danny, what do you think about… Detective Fucks?”

“What, me? A detective? You’re funny, Hunch.”

“No, of course not! Me :D”

“…What?”

“Fucks is a family name for you, but I’ve never known another Curio so I don’t mind giving it up.”

“WHAT.”

[sukunas-wife]

Hiiiii :D (first time interacting just wanted to say i love your works!)

This is not a request ofc but a small rumble and I'd like to know your thoughts on it.

So I see a lot of tropes with Heian era Sukuna like "village girl saved by the curse king", "arranged marriage that turns into love" ect. ect. , so around the fact that reader falls in love first when getting to know Suluna right? So I thought for a moment "a majority of Sukuna's fan are actualy occidental" and the heian era is around the 1000-1300s Japan where it was complitly isolated by other ethicities so Sukuna would have like NO idea humans could have complitly different trates from the asians ones.

In conclusions: occidental reader getting stranded on a land where there has been no records of such different humans and of course Sukuna getting either curios or fascinated by such traits and HIM falling in love first when reader shares their culture and such.

(So I have never like wrote a fan-fic before but this trope has been stuck in my head for WEEKS and I WILL make this real, hopefully...)

Oouuuu I LOVE THIS IDEA! I won’t lie I thought about it after seeing a few modern day fics of Sukuna x Black/African Reader, Sukuna x Indian/Brown reader

And I thought, sure that modern day Sukuna, BUT HOW would the four armed beast take it???

And I also thought, “If I were to ever bring sukuna home to my family, it would BE WILD!

I’m of Japanese/Hispanic descent, more Hispanic due to my mother basically up and leaving 😅 but the side of her family I do keep in contact with is nice.

And I was thinking, “If I could bring him home to my dad and his culture, he would be floored or entirely just blown away!”

If you do pull through tag me? 🥺🤍 I kinda wanna give it a go now tho if you don’t mind? 🥹

4 + 25 for any Roman Republic/Roman empire guy of your choosing! (Also 8 as a bonus if you want to be controversial :'D )

Oh, I love being controversial today. Continuing the second triumvirate obsession and going with Antony

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Please for the love of god someone put him in a musical. I think it would be good for him. But like, not a good one. Put him in Cats or some shit.

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

Once again, gettin reaaaal tired of people mad that he wins polls because he's well known.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

My first exposure was Shakespeare, and I hated that bitch gdkjhf. Now I affectionately hate that bitch. He's such a problem. But also, he definitely fucked nasty with Curio and Fulvia.

Looking for Contact: Maha Lucrette | Mateus

Tentatively putting some feelers out there for potential RP. I'm kinda shy and anxious in general, but I love writing Maha and I tend to get into a groove with her. I'm currently in the GMT +9 timezone, typically more active in the morning over the evening, weekday over weekend, but it varies. I prefer to RP in game over other mediums like tumblr or discord- I just like having the visuals around (and don't like giving out my discord to people I'm not familiar with.)

Some things to note:

- I am an adult and open to RPing dark/horror themes, all that is good with me. My only hard nos are extremely detailed torture/gore scenes and sexual violence. - On that note, I am not looking for anything sexual or even romantic. Flirting is NBD, but it wont go anywhere with my character. - When RPing, I try really hard to focus on my partner(s), especially if there are a lot of people around, but chances are I might miss your post anyway, so just give me a gentle nudge if I'm slow to respond. - I am not looking for a free company. However, if you've got an RP linkshell, I'd love to be a part of it (provided it fits the scope of my character!) - Adventure and exploration RPs are my favorites. Maha's not a traditional Keeper, and is somewhat well-traveled, so she is up for a good variety of things! - I am often a package deal with Lithen, so if you get Maha, you'll probably get her too (should time allow it!)

Here's some details about Maha that might help you approach her!

- Maha was born in the Shroud to a nomadic clan of Lyehga keepers. Though her clan moved around a lot, chances are they met with others in passing. They also attended yearly meets to discuss hunting grounds, news, and trade with other clans. Maha left her own clan at the ripe age of thirteen, and has not traveled with them since. But she might have met with other young keepers at the time, or even the adults. She was an odd child, fond of collecting weird, dead things from the forest that might have shocked or disturbed other kids. - Maha hopped ships to Thavnair to escape the Coeurlclaws murderous intent, following a nasty incident that took place back when she was still involved with them. She was taken in by an alchemist who had recently lost his own family, and trained in the ways of Hannish alchemy. She grew up in relative comfort in Radz-at-Han, and had most likely crossed paths with residents and visitors of the splendorous city during those days. Though she picked up a few new hobbies, she was most recognizable for her unique blends and tinctures, surviving off the knowledge gained from her days with her clan. - Ten-some odd years later, Maha finally returns to Aldenard and obtains permissions to open a small potions stall in Ul'dah's Sapphire Avenue. Her shop was usually open during later hours, from afternoon to midnight, and featured brews unique to keeper culture and tradition. She spent a couple years in Ul'dah, earning her keep before finally moving on. She was no doubt a common sight in Sapphire Avenue, as well as near the Goldsmith's, Weaver's, and Alchemist's guilds. - To this day, Maha lives in the Twelveswood, in a remote sanctuary in the forest she has made all her own. Her treehouse is warded against ne'er-do-wells with psychedelic, gaseous traps- only the worthy are given the correct directions to her home. She lives here in defiance of both the Coeurlclaws and her birth clan, proving that she can withstand the demands of the forest by her own merit. Those given proper directions to her home may find a shelter from the wilds, a den of rest and relaxation, as well as a store of curios and potions to strengthen the mind and body. - However, Maha is not limited solely to her corner of the wood. She travels every now and again, and can be sighted all over Eorzea, mainly visiting cities for local fare, attending parties thrown to the public, and vacationing with her wife, Lithen. Her hobbies vary wildly- she even did a brief stint as a performer for a couple of venues, before she decided she wanted to do something else with her time. She also really loves the Gold Saucer. There are a number of possibilities in which one could have encountered Maha in the wild.

It probably goes without saying that this post is subject to change pending character development, or if I remembered something I've forgotten, or w/e. If ever you're not sure about some detail about Maha, feel free to ask! I know we're all anxious creatures that just want to write stories with each other, and I am no different. If you're interested in setting something up, you can contact me here on tumblr, or in game (I'm Maha Lucrette on Mateus/Crystal DC.)

Thanks for reading!

Do you like women? Don't mean to be rude, just really curios :)

Tough question! Also very unexpected :,D (that's totally ok tho) I was romantically involved into relationships with women. The do attract me physically. However I like men more when it comes to relationships because I find harder to trust women. It's absolutely a me-problem, because I had (and still have) hard and abusive relationships with my mom and ALWAYS fell in love with very manipulative women. So I don't trust my taste, my brain choses to suffer. If you're curious because I put a ton of love into my (adopted) OC Glinda, I love her for different reason I'm also a girl myself if that's not obvious (people think I'm Charlie sometimes)

[valandhirwriter]

Pick 3 of your favorite characters. Tell us when and how you fell in love with them. Inquiring minds want to know :)

Then tag 3 or more people, hopefully who aren't shy :D.

3 of my favourite characters.... that's quite the challenge I have to admit. Because I read a lot and had a lot of favourite chars accordingly. But, here we go, I will try to give this a bit of bandwith, because I have character types that speak to me much easier than others.

Boromir of Gondor

When did I fall in love with this character? At about 13, when I first read Lord of the Rings. I remember reading through the story, and wondering why none of his companions would try and reach out to him. Legolas and Gimli waste time arguing whether bow or sword is the better weapon, while beside them their comrade is slowly drifting off into darkness. Boromir also had some vibes of Hagan of Tronege from the Niebelungenlied to me, also a character who is considered dark, fierce and also fiercely loyal. While many consider Hagen the bad guy of the story, I also liked him best. The early picture of Boromir that I had in my mind, was close to the book describtion, black hair, very tall, haunted grey eyes and a scar on his forehead. Naturally when the movies came along, my favourite actor Sean Bean had the role, and the picture changed around a little. Watching his interpretation of Boromir seeded the first ideas for a story arc about him in my brain, though it would take me another ten years to sit myself down and write the story. In that story i then explored many of the questions I had since first reading the novel: What drove Boromir to such extremes? What happened to Gondor? How did Aragorn leaving after the Umbar campaign impact Gondor long.term? Even after finishing that huge arc, I still love Boromir as a character. His story has been with me for a long time, and will hopefully remain with me for a long time still.

2. Raistlin Majere

I discovered the dragonlance books by accident in my teens. And while the quality of the novels can be called into question, their humour certainly still echoes with me. That and... Raistlin. He was the character I found fascinating at once, and not just because he was the only one in the group actually using his brain. Unfortunately the authors had set up his split from the group and later his "fall" in War of the Twins, instead of really exploring the character with more depth. There was so much potential there, so much aspects to tell a story. Raistlin had the potential to be one of those compelling dark characters, who casn make the heroes torn, because while not with them on principle, their help is still invaluable. I sometimes consider writing a story about him, beginning from before his trials at the Tower of Wayreth and building the AU from there. But I would have to take huge liberties, and have yet to find just the right story companion for him. What draw me to Raistlin is his intelligence, also his detachment, his ability to see the situation for what it is, and not need delusions about hope or good, to sustain himself. He sees what is, and doesn't despair but come up with a plan. That nickname "the sly one" hit me hard when I first read about him, because it told me how judgemental those friends of his were.

3. Eskel

Ciri arriving in Kaer Morhen, and getting frightened by one of Geralt's comrades, because his face is clawed up in some manner... I still remember reading that scene, some time in the 90ies. I was curios at once, especially as scarface, ahm Eskel, proved to be a nice guy in the few scenes he had in the book. I liked him, and I wanted to know more about him. I came up with several stories how he had gotten his scars, and who he was outside of just one of Geralt's brothers. Unfortunately the author never bothered to tell us more about him. Then came the games and I was only marginally enticed by them. Some aspects are good, others are meh... and I will honestly admit that I am still so-so about the Diedre tale. Then came Netflix... and wow was I pissed. Eskel needed his own heroic story I decided and well... it happened. He's still my favourite Witcher, and hopefully will remain so.

Honourable Mentions

Lan al Mandragoran

Wheel of time was another series I devoured in the late 90ies (and on as new books came out), and Lan was my favourite character in them. I was sure he would die in Tarmon Gai'don, but that did not hinder me devouring everything about him. And what a confrontation in the last battle. Reading that, i was sure, so sure, he'd not come out of this alive, and so happy when he did. I would love to write a story about him and Tam meeting at the Blood Snow and upsetting the entire applecart of events.

Athos

Athos from the Three Musketeers is another childhood hero, from reading the books (Three Musketeers/Twenty Years After/ The Viscount of Bragelonne) when I was a young teen. I like Athos, is aloofness, his honour, is utter reality-defying sticking with said honour, and also his haunted past. He was one of my first fanfic subjects (cringe, the stories were so bad) and i still adore him to this day.

Tagging @regis-favorite-raven, @do-androids-dream-ao3acc, @lohrendrell and @eskel-loves-lilbleater to talk about their favourite characters and how they encountered them.

[mhbcaps]

also here's an explicit Sanctuary/Joey vignette that I wrote 👁u👁 dirty talk and d/s dynamics ahoy (fair warning it just jumps right in there dude the dicks are already out)

happy Thursday bonus!

---

"Maybe I'll let you put your cock in my mouth," they said. "You'd like that. Fuck my face, even. Grab my hair and make me take the whole thing. You'd lose control." They leaned forward to lay their cheek against his thigh, one hand snaking over his hip and up his belly, so close, tantalizing, torturous -

"Can I?" Joey breathed, hardly able to say it past his heart in his throat.

"Would you do it?" Sanctuary asked. "Lose yourself? Come undone? Put me in my fucking place?" Their nails dug into his ribs.

"Yes, God yes, I - I'd fuck your throat raw, bruise it, you wouldn't talk for days -"

Sanctuary closed their eyes as he spoke, turned their face just slightly to kiss his thigh, the barest smile twisting the corner of their mouth.

"I know you'd love that, baby," they said, their breath warm against his skin. "You've been so good." They dragged their mouth up toward his groin, smearing black lipstick along his thigh. Joey groaned, soft and breathy, his hands gripping at the bedsheets.

"Can I?" he asked again, a little louder, a little more desperate. Sanctuary leaned up to press a too-dry, too-chaste kiss to the underside of his weeping cock.

"No," they said matter-of-factly, and straightened up, sitting back on their heels and withdrawing their hands to rest them in their lap. Joey stared at them, wracking his brain for what they could possibly want from him - it wasn't often they got on their knees for him, lay their head in his lap... his belly felt so tight with arousal, his cock full and heavy and waiting, he wanted terribly for Sanctuary to just pin him down and fuck him the way they were so good at, he wanted their claws digging into his hips, he wanted to be filled and he could not figure out what they wanted him to do for it this time. He squirmed under their gaze, his stomach fluttering. They weren't upset with him - their punishments were clear and intentional. They were just teasing him, in their odd way.

Sanctuary stood and took Joey's chin in their hand, making him look up at them. They only lingered there for a moment, thumb caressing the side of his jaw, before they pushed him back flat on the bed. Their hands came down to his thighs again, pushing his legs together, pinning them between their own, and they leaned over him with a look of... curiosity. Some amusement. Joey felt like a curio on display. He ran a hand over his own chest as he stared back at them, trailing his fingers down his sternum and around his nipple. A light touch, but with Sanctuary's attention on him, even that made his jaw slacken with pleasure.

"Look at you," they said, soft, almost sweet. They climbed onto the bed, kneeling over him, their skirt stretched tight across their thighs, accentuating the bulge where their cock strained against the fabric. "So obedient. Won't do a thing without my permission. You ever think about fucking me?"

"Sometimes," Joey said. 

"Like?" Sanctuary took him by the wrists, dragging his hands to their hips.

" Like... like when you're ignoring me," he said. "When my punishments just make me mad."

"Go on," Sanctuary purred.

"Am I gonna get in trouble?" Joey asked. Maybe even hoped, just a little. Sanctuary smiled at him.

"No, baby," they said, "I want to know. How do you think about fucking me? You think about pinning me down?"

"Yes." Joey's cock twitched.

"I bet you want to leave bruises." Joey nodded. "Where?"

"On your neck," Joey answered, perhaps a little too quick. Sanctuary's smile widened. "Your wrists."

"You want to make sure I can't get away," Sanctuary said. "You could do it. You're stronger than me."

"Yeah," Joey breathed.

"But you don't. 'Cause you need permission, huh?"

"I need your permission."

"That's right." Sanctuary reached out and lay their 'ganic hand against Joey's cheek, brushing their thumb over his lips. He opened his mouth and let it slip in, and Sanctuary cooed softly. 

"Good boy. You're so sweet, waiting so patiently." They sank lower over him, their skirt rubbing all too lightly against his cock. Joey closed his lips around their thumb with a soft moan. He leaned into their touch, his eyes fluttering shut and his grip tightening on their hips. Sanctuary thrust gently in and out of his mouth, their acrylic nail sharp and hard against his tongue, bitter from their strong-scented soap. Then they leaned down and replaced their thumb with their tongue in a deep, sweet kiss, their hand trailing down Joey’s chin to rest gently at his throat. 

Joey ached—he tilted his hips up, desperate for friction, but Sanctuary moved smoothly with him, keeping the barest contact between their skirt and his cock. They sat up, putting a little pressure on his neck to keep him down.

“Control yourself,” they said. “After I just said how patient you’re being? Don’t make me take it back.”

Joey licked his lips, staring up at them and imagining, just for a moment, disobeying completely and pushing Sanctuary onto the bed to pin them down and fuck them himself. But he wouldn’t. He knew he was in good hands, even as they teased him.

Sanctuary gazed down at him thoughtfully for a long moment, then said, “Pull my skirt up.”

For a second, Joey hesitated, like he thought he hadn’t heard right. Then he hooked his thumbs under the hem of Sanctuary’s skirt and pulled it up around their hips, exposing their cock. Their silk thong had slipped aside, unable to contain their hard length. For all their composure, sly and calm, their cock was flushed, weeping almost as much as Joey’s. He licked his lips again.

“Don’t get too excited, baby,” Sanctuary said. “I’m gonna take you at my pace, nice and slow.” 

They finally sat, warm and heavy against him, and rolled their hips. Joey groaned, and Sanctuary leaned down to kiss him again, shifting their weight back and forth as they did, grinding against his cock. He grabbed their hips, squeezing hard to keep himself from pushing down. My pace, they’d said. He wasn’t about to disobey.

How to manifest my physical changes without putting much effort please, im sick of slow subliminal results

I just want subliminal results, like others, but I still don't see the case, every time I listen to a week or 21 days as explained in the description in each youtube video, I don't see changes in my results, I tries to be patient/remove my obsession, i've used many resources to supposedly get subliminal results, I've read the solar subs guide, visualized, making own subs (1 or 2 subs) thinking to be positive, act like already get results, using boosters,flushes blockage removers, using loa techniques and researching more about subconscious and it has no effect on me, its like I am immune to subliminal audios for physical changes, or I don't have enough self-concept to be able to manifest what I want, tell me what I can do?,

Also they say that law of Asuncion neville Goddard and his gurus are very good(Like Sammy Ingram) , but who knows if it works every moment because when I use old subliminals for 3 months, I haven't noticed a change in my face body or even D₹ck", I currently use male beauty audios like fk subs viper kottie moza morph cherry subs curio Daniel m.f but who knows if they works, because I have honestly lost a lot of faith in my progress, And I don't want to do an ancestral religious ritual to have those simple changes, I hope someone else can answer me, because i'm fucking tired of repeating the same sh&t, I don't want to be slow results and believe in the subliminals and period

Oh man, there's a whole hell of a lot to unpack here.

You're doing way too much, my friend, and I'm not surprised to hear that you're very frustrated. You're stressing yourself out and looking for the next "shiny object" in order to obtain a certain desire of yours.

You are approaching all of this the wrong way, and you are facing away from your manifestation by doing all of this stressful physical effort. This is not supposed to be a chore. This is supposed to be a fun and beautiful, freeing journey of self-realization and self-empowerment. You are not supposed to work yourself to the bone here.

I have a whole lot of advice for you to help you out in your situation. I advise you to listen to my advice if you want to exit this vicious cycle of frustration.

1. Stop listening to subliminals from other creators on Youtube. It's not a safe idea, first of all, above all things because you have no idea what affirmations are actually being sent to your subconscious mind, and creating your own subliminals are so much more effective. I speak this from experience because I was in your same shoes ages ago. That all changed when I started to create my own subliminals.

2. Change your mindset about manifestation and your abilities to manifest by simply creating your own subliminal and sticking to it for a good while. Be loyal and consistent with listening to it every day. You should see awesome results from solely relying on listening to your own subliminals for results. It takes some serious patience and dedication to take the time to change your mindset through the use of subliminals. { Check out my guide on creating your own subliminals in my masterlist. }

3. For the love of God, please *do not listen* to Sammy Ingram. I respect and admire her confident mindset when it comes to her manifesting abilities, but she does not truly understand the law of consciousness and how manifestation actually works on autopilot. She experiences results in her reality because of her mindset, not the mindless affirming of affirmations. She believes that affirming like a damn parrot for 8 hours straight is the way to go, and it's not. That's just ridiculous. Manifesting should never feel like a chore. Feel free to affirm whenever you want to just as a reminder. Not because you feel "you have to."

4. I assure you that the law of consciousness is working perfectly for you because you are currently aware of seriously struggling with subliminal results, and that's what keeps manifesting for you in your reality on an endless loop. You are the creator of your own reality, and you are the power of all creation. You have the power to change this all for you. Again, follow my advice and change your mindset with creating your own subliminals. It is the answer to your prayers.

5. Check out these sources to help deepen your understanding about manifestation and your true self as the operant power: Neville Goddard, Edward Art, Awaken the Godself With Candace Thoth, and Niclas - Upgrade to Life.

6. As for the physical changes you desire, again, create your own subliminal with affirmations for the physical changes you want. Be consistent with it and listen to the subliminal daily.

Best wishes to you and seriously, take my advice. It will be a game-changer for you.

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more

44 BC – Italy: The first written reference to same-sex marriage appears when Cicero insults promiscuous Mark Antony whose father Curio "established you in a fixed and stable marriage, as if he had given you a stola." A stola is a traditional garment worn by married Roman women. Cicero’s sexual implications are clear, the point of which is to cast Antony in the submissive role in the relationship and to impugn his manhood.

1796 – The poems of Count August von Platen (d.1835) are homoerotic expressions of Platonic love, idealism, beauty, friendship, and longing. Platen was born in Ansbach, Bavaria, the son of an impoverished nobleman. He attended the Military Academy at Munich and the Royal Institute of Pages resulting in his commission as a lieutenant in 1815 in a regiment against France during the time of Napoleon; he, however, engaged in no action.

Platen was extremely erudite, mastering a dozen languages, including literary Greek and Latin, French for social status, Persian for poetic reasons, and even English.

An admirer of Michelangelo and Italian art, Platen visited Florence, Rome, Naples, Syracuse, and Sicily. While in Naples in the 1820s, he formed a homosexual friendship with the poet and painter August Kopisch, all the while perfecting the content and form of his poetry. By 1826, he had moved permanently to Italy, supported by a pension from his friend, King Ludwig I of Bavaria.

Focusing his sexual urges into the artistic and creative realms, Platen transformed his passion for same-sex relations from the physical to the intellectual. On occasion, a friendship lasted only a year or so—for example, his intense relationship with a young painter, Rühl—but it nevertheless served to heighten his creative powers.

His controversial, multilingual, autobiographical narrative, which contains an explicitly erotic homosexual theme, was not published until the end of the nineteenth century, under the title Diary (Die Tagebücher, 1896-1900). In his poetry, Platen employs a recurrent homoerotic image borrowed from Persian poetry, the tulip, which is a spiritual symbol for masculine love.

Platen's longing for love and friendship is a persistent motif in his work. He addressed seven sonnets to "Cardenio," an Erlangen student, who is described as a young, tall, dark, and handsome man with full lips. Platen addressed an additional twenty-one sonnets to another Erlangen student, "Karl Theodor German." Embodying themes of Platonic love, friendship, longing, idealism, and beauty, Platen's sonnets express unrequited love for men.

Platen's homosexuality is the subject of a vicious attack by Heinrich Heine in The Baths of Lucca. Edward Carpenter, however, expressed his appreciation for Platen in his Ioälus, An Anthology of Friendship (1902). Among German writers who admired Platen is Thomas Mann, who praised him in a lecture in 1930; Platen's poem "Tristan" (1825) inspired Mann's novella Tristan and Isolde (1903).

1820 – Seventeen year old Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote of his crush on fifteen-year old Martin Gay: I begin to believe in the Indian doctrine of eye fascination. The cold blue eyes of (blank) has so intimately connected him in my thoughts & visions that a dozen times a day & as often by night I find myself wholly wrapped up in conjectures of his character and inclinations. We have already two or three long profound stares at each other. Be it wise or weak or superstitious I must know him.

1960 – Bradley Darryl BD Wong is an American actor, best-known for his roles as Dr. George Huang on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, as Father Ray Mukada on HBO's Oz, Henry Wu in the movie Jurassic Park, and for his starring role as Song Liling in the Broadway production of M. Butterfly.

Wong gained attention for his Broadway debut in M. Butterfly opposite John Lithgow. The play won multiple awards, including several for Wong. He is notable as the only actor to be honored with the Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, Clarence Derwent Award, and Theatre World Award for the same role.

In 2008, he starred in the one-man show Herringbone, in which he portrays 11 roles, at the McCarter Theatre at Princeton University.

Wong, who is openly gay, began a long-term relationship with talent agent Richie Jackson in 1988. In 2000, Wong had twin sons: Boaz Dov, who died 90 minutes after birth, and Jackson Foo Wong. They were born through a surrogate mother, using Wong's sperm and an egg donated by Jackson's sister. In 2003, Wong wrote a memoir about his experiences with surrogacy titled Following Foo: the Electronic Adventures of the Chestnut Man. Wong and Jackson ended their relationship in 2004.

Wong very strongly identifies as a gay man. Hence, he has been a visible presence at AIDS-related charity functions and in gay and lesbian community events, as well as at events sponsored by the Asian Pacific Islander communities. Wong has appeared at the GLAAD Awards, made promotional spots for the gay and lesbian television newsmagazine In the Life, and worked in various ways to further understanding among both Asians and non-Asians, gays and non-gays, about the experience of being both gay and Asian.

1964 – Dan Mathews is the Senior Vice President of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He is known for heading PETA's most controversial and attention-getting campaigns, including the "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" ads, as well as campaigns involving celebrities such as Morrissey, Pamela Anderson, Pink, and Paul McCartney.

He started poor, was bullied in high school, worked at McDonalds and as a model to put himself through American University, and after graduating started at PETA as a receptionist.

In 2000, he was named by gay lifestyle magazine Genre as one of the most influential people of the new century. When asked by the magazine whom he considered an influential gay person, he replied, spree killer "Andrew Cunanan, because he got Gianni Versace to stop using fur." In 2007, Mathews was ranked 37th in Out magazine's "50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America".

Mathews has written a memoir, Committed: A Rabble-Rouser's Memoir, which he characterized as "an adventure story. It's like 007 wearing freaky outfits". The book tells the story of how he became a public person, the various exploits he's undertaken for PETA, and different campaigns he has done.

In May 2009 he commented on the actions of the governor general of Canada who, in participating in an Inuit tradition, consumed a raw seal heart. He is quoted as saying to the Toronto Star, "It amazes us that a Canadian official would indulge in such bloodlust. It sounds like she's trying to give Canadians an even more Neanderthal image around the world than they already have." Although Mathews admits to being attracted by extremes, he states that he and PETA engage exclusively in legal activities, but they do not necessarily condemn the actions of animal rights extremists.

1912 – The Arizona Supreme Court rules that fellatio is not outlawed by the term "crime against nature."

1981 – The first National Conference on Lesbian and Gay Aging was held in California, sponsored by the National Association for Gay and Lesbian Gerontology. It sought to "dispel myths about older lesbians and gay men, advance research, establish programs and services for lesbian and gay elders, and encourage and provide support for lesbian and gay gerontologists."

Sorry I'm so late! For Larksharius:

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

Thank you Dujour! For grabbing my all time fave oc!! XD

I'm long-winded on this, but since I've been given the chance, I'd love to say more! :D

Their name

I did not have the idea to make an archlich oc until I was visited by one. I was a miserable wet cat and they came and let me know I am still loved. (Lark did it in their own way, they let me hold their heart... The act won't do damage to them but still scared the shit out of me. I immediately turned all my attention to lecture them on how they should be taking care of themselves, just like what Rimerock has been doing. This is the reason why I dragged this silver guard dog out of my dusty game save and let him guard the treasure.)

Anyway, I remember how to spell the first part of their name, that's where the "Lark-sha" comes from. The rest is from the canon lich mentor in wotr, Zacharius. I let Lark replaces Zacharius in my headcanon to be a lawful neutral undead mentor for Rimerock, also a knowledgeable friend to my curios commander Blackstar.

2. Their arch-nemesis or rival (warning: torture and death)

I'll say Baphomet and his cultists for the first 100+ years since Lark become a lich. And in the following time, Lark's rival is themselves.

Lark has long hair when they were alive, here is a drawing I made for this ask ^^

When Lark was alive, they were a distinguished scholar. Unfortunately, they were captured by Baphomet cultists, kept in Inelectuable Prison, and tortured for quite a long time. The imprisoned lich king Alderpash offered Lark a way out. He helped turn Lark into a lich and elongated the process to smuggle them out among the corpses. Alderpash did not ask for anything in return, but he knew his efforts paid off when an azata broke into the prison and freed him from his cell.

After the escape, the tormented scholar was taken care of by a mundane hunter and his daughters. Lark served as a family tutor when their body recovered and learned to fake all vital signs. Peaceful days were short. When there were rumors of a group of Baphomet cultists searching for escaped prisoners, Lark left at midnight. They were weak and resourceless, not powerful enough to take down the threat. Lark thought by leaving the hunter family could stay hidden and safe, but things went wrong. Lark saw smoke when the house was on fire, they returned only to the burned bodies. The tragedy made Lark furious. They forgot their trauma, and hunt down Baphomet cultists for revenge.

It took decades for Lark to calm down. As a lich, Lark's body was decomposing, and they were losing emotions and morals. They hardly have personal emotions at that time, what's left is the desire for unknown knowledge. Luckily, Lark got a powerful patron who taught them how to be an archlich. The only downside is the process started not early enough, so they have to make rules for themselves and fight with the nature of a lesser lich from time to time.

omg this got... long!

Thank you so much for reading!! Larksharius is my treasure. I'd love to share more stories abt them! :3
