i think the funniest asks i got about Susan Taxpayer were the ones relating to if she had striped programmer socks or had a blahaj or wore cat ears or something like that. no shame at all for that and i think people who indulge in that are awesome but Susan's experience with wider internet and online queer culture would be practically nonexistant. she thinks newspaper comics are the height of comedy and doesn't know what homestuck is. if you asked her what 3 hour video essays she's watched she would be confused that people have videos that even go that long. she has never tuned into a livestream in her life. if you asked her about a catgirl the first thing that would come to mind is Arlene from Garfield.

The Professor Masterlist
this takes place during The Professor Series!
"Did you know you're the only person who never tries to interrupt me?"
"What do you mean?"
Harry and Y/n lay on the carpeted floor of her townhouse. Their shoulders touched, but that was about it. Even so, Harry could feel that tiny bit of contact throughout his entire body. The professor probably had a word for that, a scientific term to explain why just the slightest graze—not even skin against skin—sent him into a tailspin that made him have to focus extra hard on what she said.
Y/n's hands knotted together on her lap, a thing she did when she held herself back. It was as if she had to physically restrain herself some way to keep her from speaking out of turn. Harry personally never thought she did, from their first meeting at the bookstore, he'd been fascinated by her, by the things she said.
"I don't mean to...impart information on people the way that I do. It just happens sometimes," she said, her eyes gazing up at the ceiling.
Harry knew he probably should've too, but he couldn't help but look at the professor instead. Her hair fanned out around her shoulders, she wore a string of pearls around her neck and earrings made to look like Salvador Dalí's melting clocks in her ears. Her jewelry was always a mix of something professional and a little quirky, Harry came to realize, as if even at work as a professor at Cambridge University she couldn't help but have a little fun.
Her wardrobe consisted of patterned socks and cherry red Adidas shoes and fun knitted sweaters and vests. Today she merely wore a cozy navy blue sweater and a flowy white skirt, her red shoes were on a rack by the door, but she still wore her ruffled socks with embroidered roses on them.
"I don't mind it at all," he replied honestly.
Y/n blinked a couple times, then said, "I know. I was surprised at first because everyone usually cuts me off. Or walks away."
Harry frowned. He couldn't help but notice how clinically the professor spoke about the hurtful things that had been done to her. By her family, so-called colleagues, the few friends she had at work. He couldn't fathom anyone finding Y/n anything less than wonderful. She was brilliant, yes, but funny, and charismatic, and had a knack for storytelling. Harry never wanted her to stop talking. Ever.
"I like listening to you," he told her, shrugging as best he could given his current prone position.
"That's probably because you never finished school and are trying to make up for lost time."
From anyone else, that would've been a joke, a jab, but Y/n took education seriously, had mentioned it numerous times since they met.
Still, Harry chuckled. "Maybe I just like the sound of your voice. Maybe I just like hearing what you have to say. Maybe I find your lectures highly arousing."
"Edward!"
Even as he laughed with her, Harry couldn't help but feel guilty. He knew he should tell her, he should've told her months ago. His middle name fired out of his mouth before he could think the first time Y/n asked him for his name. A desire for anonymity, that was all it was. He didn't think he'd see her again outside the one time, so he thought it would be harmless. Then they did keep meeting, and he didn't have the guts to tell her, and now he was too deep in the lie to find a way out.
"What?"
Harry had never been shy about his attraction to the professor, even if he'd only seen half of her face due to the mask she wore. There was so much to appreciate about her, so much to admire, and he let his own imagination do the rest. He could've, of course, looked her up online. Y/n had mentioned something about posting educational videos online, but he thought it was only fair that if she didn't know what his entire face looked like that he didn't either.
"Why do you say stuff like that?" she asked, and even without the mask, Harry could tell she was blushing.
"Like what?"
"About me. About—about your attraction to me and how you find me—or think I'm a—"
"Yes?" Harry encouraged. He could tell there was a word or phrase she had in mind but was too embarrassed to use.
"In the 16th Century, the word bellibone was first used. It's derived from French etymology using the words belle and bonne to describe a woman who excels in both beauty and goodness. There's really only one known use in the late 1500s. A poet named Edmund Spenser, though he was from Ireland. It's fascinating how a word can be used once then ceases to exist, don't you think?"
Harry blinked, not totally prepared for the tangent, though perhaps he should've been. Grinning beneath his mask, he said, "I think it describes you perfectly."
"Edward," Y/n said, now her neck was flushed too.
"Does it make you uncomfortable?" he asked. "The compliments? The—" He might as well call it what it was—"flirting?"
"N—No."
"Because I'll stop if it does," he promised. "I just think you should know how devastating you are."
One of the professor's eyebrows quirked up in confusion. "That was an interesting choice in adjective."
But it was the perfect one. Harry knew he couldn't be with Y/n the way he wanted when she didn't know the truth about who he was, and he couldn't risk losing her if he finally told her. Perhaps it was unfair to play at something he knew he couldn't have, but part of him wanted Y/n to know that she was desirable, that she was more than what her intellect offered. Sure, Harry found her intelligence sexy as all get out, but she was also beautiful, and funny, and kind, and he didn't think anyone had ever complimented more than just her brain.
He would spend an entire day complimenting her if he had the time, or if she let him.
But while Y/n was confident in many things, romantic feelings weren't one of them. Despite the obstacles he put in his own way, Harry didn't think the professor was quite ready to hear how much he really liked her.
"Tell me something."
"Like what?" Y/n asked.
"Anything," Harry said, facing her and propping his head in his hand. "A book you read, something that fascinates you, your least favorite student, anything."
She narrowed her eyes at him as she positioned her body to face his. "I don't have a least favorite student."
"I don't believe you," he replied, narrowing his eyes back playfully.
Y/n scanned his face, then up and down his body. It was casual, though Harry noticed that her gaze lingered in places—his arms, his shoulders, his face. He wore a mask, but he tried to suppress his grin anyway. Then, before he could tease her more, her eyes lit up.
"Did you know the stripe pattern originated in the Middle Ages?"
He never knew, but she always prefaced her information the same way. "Did it?"
Nodding to the green striped shirt Harry wore, she said, "Stripes were used to identify social outcasts. Prostitutes, criminals, hangmen, clowns and jugglers; they all had to wear stripes so they were easily recognizable in regular society."
"Clowns?"
"Outcasts and people who were...not society's favorites, like court jesters and such. European governments even legalized the requirement of certain citizens to wear stripes. Though now, of course, stripes are popular due to Coco Chanel wearing a striped shirt similar to French sailor uniforms, which, you know, sailors were also usually the lowest rank of the French navy. Then stripes began appearing in women's activewear in the 1920s, Al Capone began wearing pinstriped suits, and the rest is history. A long, brutal history, obviously, seeing as prisoners were later forced to wear striped uniforms, and prisoners in concentration camps during World War Two, but—there you have it. A brief, slightly detailed history of the stripe."
Harry looked down at his long sleeved shirt, the thin pale green and white striped that lined his arms and torso. "Not sure if I'll be able to wear stripes again, but... that's really fascinating."
"Thought you might like that," Y/n said with a shrug.
Harry tilted his head questioningly. "Why do you say that?"
"You like clothes."
He didn't question how she knew that. With her background, Y/n seemed to know things about him that she just happened to observe. It was a little disconcerting at first, but he came to appreciate that he didn't have to pretend around her. No airs, no personas, none of the things he'd become so accustomed to in recent years. The professor might not have known about Harry's career, but she knew him in ways no one else did.
"Well," he said, playfully sighing at his shirt. "Guess I'm never wearing stripes again."
Y/n's eyes squinted and her mask scrunched a little, the way they always did when she smiled. With an unmistakable glint in her eye, the adorable one she always got when Harry indulged in her. "Wait until you hear about polka dots!"
Harry sighed, a mix of exasperation and amusement making him chuckle a little. "Tell me more, love."

♡ ୨`kusuo saiki`୧
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
☆ ⸝⸝  "i thought you coming here was a one time thing", she raised an eyebrow. "just make my coffee."
kusuo saiki x reader
warnings: swearing, toritsuka.
monthly allowance. something saiki had very little trouble obtaining but had almost too much trouble trying to spend. usually he would buy a cup or two of coffee jelly but unfortunately the store had sold out. they said they would receive their next shipment in a week, but he don't feel like waiting that long.
saiki searched online for cafes that sold affordable coffee jelly and stumbled across a store that looked appealing. joyous day cafe. it had just opened up a few weeks ago and had already become a hit, they sold cutesy deserts and of course, coffee. now, he doesn't usually approach populated areas such as this one, however their coffee jelly had amazing reviews and was even sold for an even better price.
the place was, surprisingly, not as busy as saiki initially thought. the exterior was made of brick, painted an off white colour. there was pink and white striped shades above the windows and the sign was small and hung on the wall. saiki debated on whether to enter not, it was still pretty early in the day which meant it could still get busy over time. he would have turned away then and there but as he turned on his heel a familiar face peered down at him.
"oh hey buddy!", nendo grinned down at the pink haired boy who internally grimaced at his presence. he should’ve just waited for the next shipment to get to the stores. “you goin’ in? let’s go together!”
saiki was about to shake his head but was stopped by another voice that added to his demise, “saiki? you’re here?” teruhashi. great.
all he wanted to do was taste this coffee jelly and go home. but of course, fate had different plans. soon he was joined by kaido, hairo, yumehara and toritsuka. this coffee jelly better be worth it.
once they finally entered the cafe, they sat at a large booth that had soft pink seats. saiki was stationed between nendo and hairo, he was thankful the seats were large enough for at least a small amount of space to be between each person.
a waitress walked up to them, a small smile on her face. she adorned a white button up shirt, black mini skirt with a frilly apron over it and black mary janes with frilly socks. her h/c hair was in a messy low bun and she held a pen and notepad in her hands. everyone immediately recognised her, it was y/n l/n from their class.
“oh! hey guys, fancy seeing you here!”, she smiled her eyes scanned the table and beamed at the familiar faces.
now surprisingly, saiki didn’t mind y/n’s existence as much as the others. only because y/n didn’t put in too much effort into being around him. she was very casual and didn’t smother him with unwanted attention like everyone else, for that he was thankful. their interactions were short, nothing more than a quick hello or a quick conversation about whatever was going on in class but it only lasted a few words.
“what can i get you guys?” y/n clicked her pen.
everyone began ordering, they all ordered the most popular or random dishes. bear shaped tarts, paw print waffles, galaxy tea? it was all so bizarre.
of course, saiki ordered his simple serving of coffee jelly. however, another item on the menu caught his eye. it was called the psychic special. obviously it was just a fun name but he couldn’t help but feel intrigued by the name. the small description stated it was a latte that had a random choice of latte art, if you guessed what the latte art was, you’d get your order half off.
y/n simply nodded and said she’d be back with their orders. toritska’s eyes wandered a little too far down for saiki’s liking, his gaze grazing against the back of y/n’s thighs. "who knew l/n was such a hottie? with legs like that she should be model!". these thoughts irritated saiki so, with enough force to inflict pain, yet not too much as to cause a scene, saiki kicked the purple headed male’s shin. when he yelped in pain, saiki smirked.
"perv"
the group began to babble about the cafe’s interior and admired the many cutesy decorations splattered everywhere. meanwhile, saiki had taken notice of a glass case that had a variety of hot steaming treats aligned neatly next to each other. it was right next to the register and also next to the machine that made the coffee, which happened to be where y/n was.
“hey saiki,” she smiled, “i saved you a small booth over by the corner, thought you’d want some peace and quiet away from that bunch” she pointed over to the group of teens that had suddenly started an arm wrestling match. currently, nendo was on a winning streak.
“you’re an angel in disguise, l/n” saiki nodded at her with his usual stoic expression.
“just doing my job!” y/n gave him a thumbs up before her expression turned quizzical, “what’s up with you coming here? not that i mind, just doesn’t seem like a saiki kinda place”
saiki continued to look at the treats through the shiny glass, “me being here is a one time thing, don’t get used to seeing my face.”
y/n just wordlessly nodded with a smile as he hobbled over to the booth that she saved. it was in a plant covered corner, there was a bookshelf to the left and a window to the right. it only had two chairs, one was occupied by saiki and the other was vacant. in between was a brown circle table. perfect.
a few minutes passed before y/n approached saiki with his order on a circular tray. a glass with a small white ribbon looped around the stem sat neatly in front saiki, the brown gelatin dish smiled up at him, a swirl of whipped cream sat atop the dessert. y/n placed a mug with a small umbrella like cover over the top that saiki assumed contained his 'psychic special'.
"now as you probably guessed, if you guess the latte art, you get your entire order for half of the original price" she slid the tray underneath her arm as she awaited saiki's response.
now obviously this was just a fun game that some people would play, a game of chance. except, this little game was nothing to saiki, being psychic and all, this was just way too easy.
"its a heart" he bluntly stated.
y/n lifted the cover to reveal indeed, it was a heart. she smiled at him warmly, "you're one of the first customers to get that right, good job saiki" she left his table after explaining she would be back with his bill. at this point, the cafe might as well be a restaurant.
when she left, saiki couldn't help but look at her longingly as she walked away. she was definitely one of the more tolerable ones, he couldn't believe he actually enjoyed her presence.
scooping up a chunk of the coffee jelly, he plopped the serving into his mouth and nearly melted at the taste. it was just the right amount of sweet and bitter, the cream made the jelly smoother than regular jelly. it was like heaven!
"holy shit"
after saiki had paid for his order, he waved goodbye to y/n.
"see you at school saiki! thanks for stopping by!" she saved at him, it was a miracle she didn't see the obvious flush of his cheeks. then again, saiki probably cooled himself down before anything could make an appearance.
"buddy! where were you?! we were so worried!" oh.
saiki had been so caught up in enjoying his meal that he forgot about the problems that awaited him. they seemed to have been standing outside waiting for his arrival, how dedicated. they all expressed their worry for his sudden disappearance which made his once amazing mood slightly falter.
they all started down the bricked path, saiki taking one final glance at the cafe. he looked at the building longingly, a strange warm feeling pooling inside of him. he had never felt something like this before, best to not do anything about it.
the bell that hung on the door frame rung throughout the mostly empty cafe, alerting the h/c haired girl behind the counter.
“welcome to joyous day, how may i-“ she stopped herself “saiki?”
our pink protagonist smiled fondly at y/n, something that was never seen. he adorned a pale blue polo shirt and black jeans. something casual yet classy for his visit.
“i’ll get what i ordered last time please” saiki pointed at his usual order on the small menu board, earning a skeptical look from the girl opposite him. she simply nodded.
she started to prepare the hot drink, although her eyes never left the psychic. her cheeks glowed at him, her heart rate picking up slightly. she never took him for the kind of person to become a regular at this establishment, she took him for a simplistic guy. not that she was complaining, if he was here a lot more she’d actually look forward to coming to work. unbeknownst to her, kusuo was feeling something similar.
“i thought you coming here was a one time thing?” she raised a brow.
“just make my coffee”

hi!! im working on a story that takes place at a 2012 public high school - the issue with that is that i was not in high school in 2012 lmao. do you have any tips on how to keep it feeling realistic?
Well, neither was I!! But here are some tips:
Define Your General Setting
Sure, high school has a different feel compared to an average town/city setting. However, it is still a part of the bigger community, and will be impacted by external factors.
What part of the world are your writing about? What's the general economy like? What's the most common occupation of the kid's parents? What's the prevailing fashion/art/music style?
Your teens will be impacted by the popular culture and trends of the time, so start by outlining the general setting!
Fashion
I think this is where schools have changed the most. There are going to be some overlaps between early 2010s and late 2000s, so if you think in the direction of Y2K fashion, it should fit.
On a general note, I think 2010s fashion was vibrant, with lots of colors and flashy items...
Side fringes and backcombed/straightened hair were still very popular
most girls had huge messy sock buns on top of their heads
boys had the Justin Bieber cut.
Jack Wills and Hollister were pretty popular, and a lot of girls had a Paul's Boutique jacket and a Jane Norman bag for their PE kit (or one of the Hollister bags with a topless guy on).
Converse were universally cool, and there were lots of imitation brands.
Open flannel shirt over a t-shirt was a pretty popular outfit.
Skinny jeans and band t-shirts
bright chunky rubber band bracelets.
Vans were cool among the alternative kids.
Getting different colours on your braces was cool.
Most of the boys had at least one of those t-shirts with the buttons and the mismatched cuffs.
School-uniform-wise, short ties with big fat knots were cool, and hard kids would pluck a stripe or two out of their tie.
Tucking in shirts was initially not cool, then it became cool to tuck at the front but not the back.
Lots of boys wore black trainers, and lots of girls wore those ballet pumps.
Girls doing their lips with their foundation, with a thick ring of black eyeliner and spidery clumpy mascara - and having a visible orange line where your foundation met your neck was common.
Multiple ear piercings were popular with the alternative crowd
Belly button piercings were big for girls
Just search up some pictures on Google, you should get plenty of "Early 2010s teen fashion starter pack"
Social Media
Smartphones were already popular, and with the introduction of Snapchat(2011) and Instagram(2010), the social media hype was just starting to boom
Facebook and Twitter were popular - basically everyone was on it
TikTok(2016) and Discord(2015) didn't exist yet
Pictochat
Phones were allowed in the classroom, but phones/laptops weren't an important part of school work like it is now.
Digital Devices
Phones-wise, most people had pretty basic dumbphones (although they were just called mobiles back then), and not everyone carried them all the time
Blackberry (BBM), Nokia, LG Cholate, iPhone if you're rich enough
Most kids were on PAYG phones, so you'd run out of credit sometimes (i.e. no more calls or texts) and have to go to a physical shop to top up. Nobody really had data, and there was always a moment of panic if you accidentally opened the web browser on your phone because it was so expensive. Wifi became a thing around 2012.
Nintendo DSes: Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs
iPods or another MP3 Player
Slag
Slang-wise, Urban Dictionary is a good resource.
Fleek, peng and YOLO were popular with some crowds. Leetspeak was a thing online, especially in nerdy communities. Emoji were starting to take off 
rawr" (or "rawr means I love you in dinosaur") and "xD" as a laughing face 
Music
One Direction, Jedward, Katy Perry, Carly Rae Jepson, Justin Bieber, JLS, Little Mix, Beyonce, Paramour, My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon, Black Veil Brides, Ke$ha, Eminem, The Killers, OMI, Gotye, Bruno Mars, Macklemore, Skrillex, deadmau5, blink-182, Green Day, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Lana Del Rey.
Fandom Stuff
Twilight was huge, then Hunger Games.
Harry Potter was everywhere all the time, people would go to midnight releases for the books and movies.
High School Musical was popular, then that crowd migrated to Glee and Mean Girls.
The Olympics were in London in 2012
Other Stuff
Reese's peanut butter cups, Marshmallow Fluff, Nerds, etc. 
Veganism wasn't well-known, but still there were a few
Lots of casual homophbia, kids jsut genuinely not knowing rather than truly hateful towards it
Here are some movie suggestions, that shows school like in early-mid 2010s quite well:
Easy A
The Duff
LOL
For YA Novels - Be Timeless
Before you start doing any of the things above, remember this if you're writing a YA novel: The key of this genre is to feel somewhat timless, taking readers back to their high school years no matter when and where they've gone through it.
High school is the phase where many people feel awkward, unsure of themselves, feeling special in their own head but knowing that they're not really.
And it's not like the problems just disappear when we hit adult life. A major reason why YA novels are so popular is that they address themes that are repeatedly felt by the general human being, often in a such a direct, straightforward way that provides vicarious satisfaction.

Hi KDNFB!
Per chance, would Peeta from your WIR universe be into this stocking/stiletto combo?
https://poshmark.com/listing/Womens-NEW-Miss-Lola-Red-Striped-Pointed-Sock-Heels-Thigh-High-Boots-75-6421d11817fb4bc029bd2a7c?utm_source=pin_unpaid
Anon… I have but one question for you…
Rated M below the cut.
“But… how would you wash them?” I ask and point to the open tab on Peeta’s laptop. He’s still blushing furiously. Rather silly, given the way we fucked last night after all the children finally went to sleep. And also given that we’re now parents of six children in total -- five still underage and one an adult.
“Why would you need to wash them? The cloth wouldn’t be touching your feet.”
“No but those socks always wind up… filthy,” I say and shift on my feet before gathering myself back together. Ridiculous to be embarrassed by this. “I’ve had to wash sweat, semen, and my own sex mess off those socks. It drips down my thighs afterwards, you know,” I remind him. Not to mention the one very memorable time Peeta came just from sliding his dick through my squeezed together thighs in a pair of those stockings. Now that was an laundry adventure afterwards...
For a moment, Peeta seems torn between arousal at my dirty words, and embarrassment. Embarrassment wins out.
“I just thought… I don’t know, you refused to tell me where you got all your stockings from!” he hisses, motioning helplessly. “So I thought I’d try to find them online. You haven’t worn them since we found out we were having Daphne, and I know the red pair at least is worn out so… yeah. That,” he waves towards the screen, “happened.”
I raise one eyebrow at him and cross my arms. It’s clear he didn’t intend to be caught shopping for what amounts to lingerie in this marriage, but it’s his fault, really. We needed to print out the forms for Olive’s hockey season and he’d told me they were open on his laptop. Not my fault he shared his passwords with me. Not my fault he’d actually left this tab on top instead of the hockey forms.
I glance again at the picture of the red knit stockings that are somehow attached to and cover a pair of high heels.
“I rarely wear heels,” I remind Peeta and he heaves an exasperated sigh.
“I know that! I wouldn’t expect you to stand on them for long, but your ass looks amazing in heels,” he grumbles and I can’t help but laugh at how perturbed he seems. I didn’t think he cared that much about the fact that I haven’t worn the stockings in well over a year. And now it’s my turn to blush and look away.
“They don’t… fit anymore,” I mumble and tuck back some of my hair.
“What was that?”
“They don’t fit anymore!” I say a little louder and Peeta steps back slightly. I don’t apologize though.
“How could they not fit? They’re socks,” he says, incredulous. 
It annoys me that he’s fixated on this, but when I take a deep breath, I remind myself that sometimes, not often, but every now and then, the effects of Glimmer cheating on him all those years ago rears its head in the form of an insecurity. And maybe my not wearing the socks for a long time triggered one of those insecurities. Ridiculous, again, given how frantic we were in bed last night, trying to squeeze in at least one orgasm a piece before Daphne woke up and demanded to be cuddled. She’s teething right now and demands a lot of attention as a result.
I sigh and squeeze my eyes shut before I force out the words. “My thighs are too fat now.”
“Excuse me, they're what?” Peeta asks and I growl in my throat.
“Don’t make me say it again! The socks… they cut off my circulation and bunch up in weird, unflattering ways. My thighs are too fat for them.”
Peeta stares at me for a few breaths and then suddenly he’s right in front of me, picking me up and slamming my back into the nearest wall. I wrap my legs around him automatically and he grips my thighs as he kisses my throat and rocks his hips into me.
“Then fuck the socks. I love your thighs. I fucking love having them wrapped around me. My hips, my head. Sliding against mine. Tucked up against my torso while you ride me. That one time you made me come with just your thighs. Your naked thighs, stocking clad thighs, dripping with bathwater, soap, or chocolate, I don’t fucking care.”
I can’t help but laugh. “Dripping with chocolate?”
“Shut up. I love gripping them when we fuck or make love or make out like this. Kissing them on my way to your pussy. Your thighs are not the problem,” he says and my head spins with the immediate rush of desire dampening my panties. Which is rare. It’s another issue we’ve had to deal with since Daphne was born, my body’s seeming inability to match functions like producing arousal when I'm… aroused.
And I am aroused. Gripping his bulging arm muscles in my hands and holding on while he grinds up against me. His cock is hard and I push myself down onto him. His fingers dig into my thighs and he moans in my ear.
“Katniss, fuck. Can we lock the door?”
“Dad! Hockey forms?” Olive shouts from down the hallway and we both groan. But we manage to disentangle ourselves from our heated embrace just before she barges in. Peeta is thankfully swift enough to switch windows so Olive doesn’t see the socks/high heel combo, and prints out the hockey forms.
Before they leave the room to fill them out, Peeta gives me another heated look. And later, when I have a few minutes to myself, I look up the store where I used to buy all those colorful knit socks.

Where I get my clothes, and where to buy clowncore fashion
Tumblr media
Alright so, ever since I’ve started posting my outfits on here and instagram I’ve been frequently asked where I get my clothes so I decided to just make this post I can direst people to when they ask. What I’m going to be covering in this post is:
☆ Where I buy my clothes
☆ Where I got the specific pieces that are most frequently asked about
☆ Brands/shops that sell clowncore and kidcore fashion
☆ About where the pieces used in my urstyle sets come from
Let me know if you want me to make a clowncore style guide/ post with basics and recommendations for starting to wear the fashion.
WHERE I BUY MY CLOTHES
The answer to that is that majority of my clothes, and especially the more interesting pieces are bought second-hand, either from thrift stores or depop. If you’re looking for weird or colorful clothes, thrift stores and antique stores are the first place you should check because a lot of common things in clowncore fashion such as weird/ugly sweaters or colorful frilly blouses are vintage.
When buying stuff online, yes you can search for terms like “clowncore” or “kidcore” and get results from people who know those aesthetics, but I usually have better luck finding stuff I like by making a pinterest board of clothes I want, and then searching for specific items on depop and ebay. 
For example some of the things I search for are “colorful vintage sweater” “clown sweater” “colorful 80s blouse” “vintage rainbow sweater” “vintage bed jacket” “square dance dress”. I also search for old Lazy Oaf stuff, because I feel like 2010s Lazy Oaf goes well with clowncore. The only other brand I specifically search for is Eagles Eye, who made some of the weird sweaters I own.
Accessorizing is also important for this style, and you can find stuff like patterned socks/tights, novelty purses, and quirky earrings pretty easily on Amazon and Ebay. But I’d also recommend looking on Etsy to find more unique and better quality accessories.
WHERE I GOT SPECIFIC PIECES:
These are just the ones most frequently asked about so I thought I’d put them in here, if there’s something else not included here feel free to ask.
Tumblr media
Blue clown face sweater: This was bought in 2016 from beautifulhalo.com and sold out soon after I got it. It’s actually a dupe of a very similar Lazy Oaf sweater that was sold out before that.
Red letter skirt: I actually made this myself out of a plain red circle skirt I thrifted, and some foam letters that you can buy in the kids arts and crafts section of walmart or similar stores.
Fuzzy red cartoon eye dress: This is from Lazy Oaf, I got it second hand on ebay.
Crayola crayons sweater: I bought this on ebay, the brand is the Eagle’s Eye.
Blue burger top: This is another Lazy Oaf piece I got on ebay.
M&M button up shirt: I got this in NYC from the M&M store there in 2019, I’m not sure if they still sell them or if they’re available online.
Red clown sweater: I bought this on Etsy in 2017 and I’m under the impression it was one of a kind, but I’m not 100% sure. 
Rainbow striped top: My mom got me this for Christmas in 2019 I think, and I’m pretty sure she got it from Amazon. It’s a dupe of a top made by Minga London, although the original uses a darker shade of blue. You can probably still find it if you search “rainbow stripe turtleneck” or something.
Rockafire Explosion Rolfe and Earle tee: Got this from https://www.cafepress.com/rockafireworld, they have merch of the other characters as well.
BRANDS/SHOPS THAT SELL CLOWNCORE AND KIDCORE FASHION:
Here are some links to brands, stores, and depop accounts that sell clowncore and kidcore type clothes. Note that some of them sell other clothes besides that so you might have to look through their stuff.
https://www.kinaandtam.com/ (Can be a bit pricey, but I’ve bought a sweater from them and it’s great quality, def recommend) 
https://www.lazyoaf.com/collections/lazy-oaf-x-nhozagri (while i feel like the lazy oaf aesthetic has shifted and become less kidcore over the years, they still do make colorful weird stuff sometimes)

ABOUT MY URSTYLE SETS
Tumblr media
If you follow me it might be because of my urstyle sets, aka outfit collages I’ve made on the website urstyle (it’s just like polyvore). I make these as moodboard basically, putting together outfits for whatever style I’m into at the current moment, but none of the pngs I use are my photos and only a couple of my sets include clothes that I own, since they’re more like pictures of outfits I wish I own. If I want to make outfits with my clothes I can just wear them lol
Some of the pictures I use I uploaded myself from pinterest or other websites, but I also use a lot of pictures that weren’t uploaded by me. For the majority of the clothes, I don’t know where they’re from or where to get them, although there are a few that I do know. If you want to know whether I know where a specific piece is from, just ask me, but please don’t ask the general question of “where are these clothes from” or “where do you buy these” under my urstyle posts since that broad of a question is hard to answer.
Hope this answered some questions people might have!

I've previously made a "sock worm" before, inspired by one of the other toy characters from Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (I really love that movie, it's so cute, and easy to watch online ;-] ).
As much as I love the original worm I made, with all of his textures and stripes and colours, he technically isn't a genuine sock worm. But now that I've accumulated enough worn out and holey socks, I have made an authentic sock worm as well! :D
He's mostly light and dark greys now, but I can keep adding to him eventually.

hi!! ur m&l iceberg appeared on my dash, and i mmmight wanna make a premiere video abt it someday?? (if i'm able 2 get the right tools 4 the job kdkdjndg i wanna do game commentary and maybe reviews) but like!! do u mind explaining each of the points in crude detail?? i already know abt most of them as well, but just 2 be sure!! ty :D
I'm HONORED you'd consider making a video about my chart! However, I had some problems with answering this as Tumblr would frequently delete all of my progress. I assume this is because of the answer simply being too long, which is why I'll try to tackle three layers at a time. I will add more parts of the explanation with every reblog. I'm truly sorry but this is the only option.
Just as a little refresher, here's the full chart! Explanations are under the cut because this is gonna be long >:)
Tumblr media
Alright let's get into this!
Layers 1 - 3:
Layer 1
-Seven games:
In total there's seven games in the Mario and Luigi series, five original titles (Superstar Saga, Partners In Time, Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team, Paper Jam) and two remakes (Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Junior's Journey)
-Striped socks:
On the original artworks for the Mario and Luigi games, Luigi is seen wearing striped socks, something unique to this series. However, the socks haven't shown up in official artwork since Dream Team.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-Luigi running gag:
In the Mario and Luigi games there exists a common running gag that consists of Luigi being underestimated or completely forgotten by other characters. They'll often praise Mario while then either insulting or downplaying Luigi.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-Giant battles:
In Bowser's Inside Story and Dream Team there exists a form of battles known as "giant battles", during which Bowser (in BIS) and Luigi (in DT) turn massive to face off against giant enemies. The player has to flip their DS/3DS horizontally and dodge/fire off attacks by tapping the touch screen. In Paper Jam, there's also a form of battles called "papercraft battles" in which the player controls giant paper figurines, looking similar to the game's characters.
-Superstar Saga on Switch:
On February 8th 2023, Nintendo announced the port of several GBA games to Nintendo Switch Online, with Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga being one of them. Superstar Saga is currently the only title to be playable on Switch.
Layer 2
-Fawful in PIT:
In PIT there exists an optional area right underneath Peach's castle, in which you can observe a mysterious hooded figure. If you follow them with Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, the person reveals himself to be Fawful, who quickly starts telling the babies about his plan for revenge. He starts getting more and more emotional during his speech, but tells the babies that there's no need to worry about him. The player can then pay Fawful with beans in exchange for rare badges. This scene foreshadowes the entirety of Bowser's Inside Story, in which Fawful takes over the Mushroom kingdom, making his plan reality.
Tumblr media
-The blorbs:
The blorbs are an illness that plagues the Mushroom Kingdom during the events of Bowser's Inside Story. If a Toad consumes a so called "Blorb Mushroom" they will get infected with the disease, causing their bodies to grow large and round, immobilizing them. The blorbs play an important role in the plot, as the illness is an important part of Fawfuls plan to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. During the end of the game, Dr. Toadley manages to get rid the blorbs, using the Miracle Cure.
-Luisley:
Luisley is the name of a popular ship in the M&L community. It is based on the idea of Luigi and Prince Peasley being in a romantic relationship. The game itself seems to heavily support this idea, as Peasley is often seen paying special attention to Luigi, and Luigi blushing when meeting the prince. This Tumblr post explains it in more detail.
-Gold beanie:
In Superstar Saga and Dream Team you can encounter enemies called Beanies. They're basically just green beans with and evil grin and tiny feet, and they're pretty easy to take down. However there exists a rare golden variant of these enemies, which have a high chance of fleeing every turn. Upon beating one, the playing receives a high amount of experience points as a reward.
-Alphadream filing for bankruptcy:
On October 1st, 2019, Alphadream, primarily known for their work on the Mario and Luigi series, filed for bankruptcy. This was most likely due to high development costs and bad revenue in return. What got the studio into that position in the first place probably were the bad sales of Superstar Saga's remake and Bowser Junior's Journey failing horrendously.
-No PIT remake:
While Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story both received remakes, Partners In Time didn't get to enjoy that treatment. This was most likely due to Inside Story having better sales in comparison and Alphadream wanting to remake the most popular game in the series. However, them skipping the second installment and remaking the third game instead, still seems a bit odd.
-Shroobish:
Shroobish is the language spoken by the Shroobs in Partners In Time. It is written in a different alphabet and is totally indecipherable. The game does translate some words and sentences for the player, most notably the word destroy.
-Beanish and beanies are related species:
This is a popular theory created by fans that isn't mentioned in the game itself. The theory is based on the fact that Beanish and beanies share a lot of similarities, for example wide grins and green skin tone. The theory states that Beanish used to look similar to beanies, but evolved over time into what we know them as today.
Layer 3
-Cover art style change:
Superstar Saga as well as Partners in Time both have very detailed designs for their box art, while from Bowser's Inside Story onward the design is kept much simpler, just having a white background with the characters placed on top of it. It is important to note that the American version of Superstar Saga's remake uses the modern style, while the European version is a direct callback to the original's box art.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-Paper Jam hate:
Paper Jam is easily the least popular game in the series. This is due to the game's lack of original characters and story telling, which makes it stand out negatively when compared to the rest of the series. It had big potential, being a crossover with the Paper Mario series, but barley incorporated any of its elements, ending up as a rather boring M&L title, with Paper Mario as a playable character.
-Carrot minigame:
The carrot minigame is one of the many minigames present in Bowser's Inside Story and it's remake. Due to it's precise touch screen controls it is notoriously frustrating and difficult to beat, especially for younger players, slowly making it gain kind of a meme status amongst the community.
-Cacklebean:
Much like Luisley, Cacklebean is another popular ship in the M&L community, this time pairing Cackletta with Queen Bean. The idea is often backed up by Cackletta seemingly having a lot of knowledge about Beanbean Castle and its secrets, such as the security system surrounding the Beanstar. Queen Bean and the residents of the Beanbean Kingdom also never seem to mention Cackletta in any negative light whatsoever, often just insulting Fawful instead of her.
-Yoko Shimomura:
Yoko Shimomura is a Japanese composer primarily known for her work in video games, including the Mario and Luigi series. She also composed for games such as Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Starts and Kingdom Hearts.
-Headcanons:
This is a more community focused entry. Fans of the Mario and Luigi series often have a lot of different headcanons, some just adding more depth to certain characters while others change the story in its entirety. Since everyone's headcanons are different, everyone perceives the games differently and every fan stands out in their own unique and special way. Some popular headcanons include Cackletta being Fawfuls adoptive mother, Popple and Fawful being brothers or Peasley being gay.
-SSS difficulty spike:
The original version of Superstar Saga is kind of notorious for having a really weird difficulty spike with the game being pretty easy over all but then suddenly raising the difficulty out of nowhere before having it decrease again. Some examples of this are Wiggler and Trunkle going down in just a few hits while having much harder battles before and after them, Cackletta in Woohoo Hooniversity being a pretty tough challenge for this point of the game all while having the difficulty decrease again seconds later, and of course the final boss being absurdly hard and coming out of nowhere with the game refusing to prepare you for it at all.
-Popple is suffering from memory loss:
When encountering Popple in Dream Team, he does not recognize Mario and luigi at all, despite mentioning how he had trouble with people looking extremely similar back when he was still in the Beanbean Kingdom.
-Geno in the Fungitown arcade:
In Little Fungitown, the player will encounter Geno from Super Mario RPG while playing the Star 'Stache Smash minigame, where he will moderate the game and explain the rules. Geno is absent from the remake due to him not being owned by Nintendo.

“me and the bad bitch i pulled by being autistic”
(rambles under break!)
i really like using tumblr as a way to ramble abt my designs!! so here ^_^
i started with designing them both as a sketch on my phone
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and guqqie actually had a few revisions bcs i wasn’t happy with the first version. as you can see the original is like pretty just boring and plain… I actually made aimseys first so after the first sketch i added it into illustrator and then blender to create aimsey and had completely finished and after making them i was like Hmmm i need guqqies to be more interesting too! so I used her design from the meet the artist video as a reference! I ended up with a silhouette i enjoyed way way more! (pink ver) it was a lot cleaner and just was a bit more unique!
Step 2 was vectorising in illustrator! As i mentioned i actually completely finished aimsey by the time i got to re-sketching guqqie but it was good because i was able to know what mistakes to avoid and it made the whole process so much quicker!
Tumblr media
finally in blender i created them separately and then brought them into one combined file! Aimseys shirt was actually a fucking NIGHTMARE to make lmfao i started with doing what i know and using an image texture just a png of the stripes in illustrator but it just kept turning out… Wrong it looked bad and just didn’t fit at all! plus UV mapping was the worst thing ever bcs i had used sculpting for this so it was all very small tiny details!!! so after a bit of trial and error and some tutorials i landed on using colour ramps ! it also took a while to get the like size and rotation and all that jazz but i loved how it turned out!!! Their compensators were actually so much easier to make than i originally thought too! I watched a simple sneaker tutorial and was able to come up with everything myself following pictures online :D !! also lesbian socks Smile
Since guqqie has been talking about liking tie dye shirts a lot recently (esp the potential future merch) i wanted to incorporate it ! i watched a 5 minute tutorial and it was actually so so easy i’m so happy with how it turned out! it took a while to get the right saturation and brightness but i think it turned out nice!

So Janort your my clown knowledge mutual so do you have any tips to dress as a clown (or anything similar) this Halloween?
Yep! Thank you for the ask, I’ll share my best advice!
There are multiple ways to achieve a clown look, the 2 big ones are to order a premade costume from a Halloween store, or build your own out of outfits you already have. You could also commission a custom costume or sew your own (expensive), but you obviously don’t have to.
Personally, I don’t think buying a premade clown costume is for me, but the pros are that you get the whole package for a cheap price, and you don’t have to think very hard about it. Unfortunately that also comes with all the downsides of buying cheap Halloween costumes, the itchy material, smelly and dull makeup, ect.
To piece together your own costume without too much crafting or sewing, here’s a few things I’d recommend:
-figure out how you wanna do your face, clown makeup is hard to pull off unless you’ve got real face paint and can paint on your own face, (I cannot lol) most novelty face paints are very bad quality and need white base layers to show up well. I like to wear clown masks. you can get a plain plastic mask and paint clown features on it with acrylic, it cost very little and will last for the whole night even if you don’t seal it with varnish or whatever. You can also find premade clown masks at Halloween stores I think, I just prefer to make my own.
-find your brightest, most obnoxious clothes. Anything with patterns, plaid, stripes dots, rainbows, neons, graphic prints. Vests lend themselves to a clown aesthetic as well.
-mix those patterns in the most obnoxious way, plaid over stripes, polka dot shorts over pajama pants, whatever you want. Layer to your hearts content.
-use clothes in whatever way you want, not necessarily how they were meant to be used. Pin a skirt into a scarf, tie a sock as a bracelet, wear a shirt as a sash.
-find some accessories, silly rings, Mardi Gras style necklaces, cool gloves, earrings if you have piercings, pins/brooches, a cape if you want, a hat (dollar stores have nice birthday hats that go with clown costumes), a bag, two bags, ect. Pin whatever you want to any part of your outfit, a belt works well, tie small stuffed animals or toys on there, you can also buy a cheap hat and hot glue stuff onto it. Anything goes.
-you can get a cheap wig from party city or online if you’d like
-if you don’t like how the outfits looking, shuffle it up however many times you want to.
-and lastly, be silly, have fun!

Dream Project: Bo Ra! Deborah cardigan
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I already mentioned this cardigan in my cardigan plans post. It's worn by Yoo In-Na in the kdrama Bo Ra! Deborah, also known as True To Love. It appears in quite a sad scene, but when I saw it I completely forgot about what was happening and started screenshotting like crazy.
Pattern and Yarn
I've decided to recreate it using the Robinson Wrap Cardigan pattern by Florence Miller. The cardigan in the drama is clearly seamed but the pattern I chose has a raglan construction. I don't really care about the differences, but it's of course going to change the way the stripes behave on the shoulders.
I've selected Drops Flora and Drops Silk-Kid in cream (panna) and black. I've just spent a little fortune to order it online, so I sure hope it's as soft as the reviews say! I bought way more than the pattern required. Knowing myself I will either use way less or way more yarn than expected and I really didn't want to take chances with the yarn lot, especially since it's an online purchase! I'm sure I'll find other ways to use these yarns if I have a lot left.
Modifications
To make the Robinson Wrap Cardigan more similar to the one featured in the drama, I will:
Increase the number of stitches increased at the edges of the yoke to have the V neck stop higher on the chest. In the pattern, it says M1 at every side per round. I'll experiment with M2 and M3 and then decide.
Knit a longer body.
Knit a longer rib at the bottom.
Knit a narrower double-knitted button band. I've never knit a button band before so I don't know if it will be possible. But I sure will try!
Find a different way to do the tie fastening than i-cord, so that it will look more ribbon-ish.
Knit a size up so it's not as close fitted
Add stripes
Will I find myself in a Ship of Theseus situation by the end? Oh well.
Now
So, that's the plan. I'm very excited. If you want to follow along with this project, I'll be using the tag "deborah cardigan".
Hopefully, the yarn will get her by the time I'm done with my current projects (aroace sweater and pair of socks). Also, hopefully, someone will be home to get the package.
So, now, we wait.
(Woe me, I've spent so much money!)

Daredevil/Matt Murdock x southern reader pt2? 18+
Tumblr media
Had to write this as soon as I came up with it. This one may be a bit of a slow burn but I feel like Matt would do things a bit slower. I just love the idea of him leaning into his other senses when being intimate and focusing on giving the most pleasurable experience possible.
18+ Under the cut
Winter in New York was not your friend. The first week or so was fine but it soon grew tiresome for you. The thick blanket of snow left on your apartment steps was a constant struggle as well as the ice it often left behind if you didn't clean it in time. You had almost wiped out several times walking up or down them. Matt's apartment building didn't have that problem as his building's staff kept on top of it during winter so that he wouldn't be hurt while leaving. The sandpaper grips on the steps also helped.
It was late and you had decided to surprise Matt with an early Christmas gift. The small box was tucked under your arm as you walked into the elevator. As it lifted you up to his floor you grew excited to see how he would react to the present. With a pep in your step you walked to his door and knocked. You could hear him yell to you from inside so you waited patiently. "Who is it?" "It's me Matt!" With that you heard the lock on his door unlatch and you were greeted by his bright smile. That smile always managed to make your heart flutter. He closed the door after you walked inside and you turned to greet him only to be left speechless. He didn't have a shirt on, and his dark grey sweats were hanging low on his hips displaying the prominent v to his abdomen. He was still wearing his glasses for some reason, perhaps he just forgot them?
You hadn't really seen him shirtless yet, and you were so used to the suits and dress shirts and occasionally casual clothes. You hadn't imagined he'd be this well built. His voice brought you out of your gawking. "You didn't greet me like you usually do is something wrong?" He sounded a bit worried at your silence. "OH no it's nothing just got distracted for a sec. I got you an early Christmas gift!" He looks a bit surprised but holds his hands out for you. You place the box in his hands and he feels it for a second before experimentally shaking it. Not much sound comes from the box but he gives you an excited smile and starts to rip off the wrapping paper. He pulls the lid off and takes out its contents feeling them carefully. A pair of soft wool socks with black red and grey stripes is the first thing he pulls out. He usually wore an old pair of socks around his apartment or none at all so you wanted to get a warm new pair for him. The next item was a new pair of fingerless gloves with the ends able to cover his fingers if he wanted to. It was just a plain black pair but you thought he'd like using them while it was still cold out. Sure he did have gloves but none were fingerless.
The last item was a Keychain you had found online. It was a simple rectangle of metal but it had braille on it. You had gotten it custom for him. He felt the bumps on the cool surface and smiled. "Justice and faith?" "I couldn't think of anything else so I chose two parts of you. You're a lawyer and you're catholic." "Well thank you baby." He pulls you in for a hug and you relax into him. "By the way how are you not cold?" He snorts in amusement. "I'm used to it. Lived in New York all my life after all." You nuzzel into his neck and feel his body radiating heat. "How about we sit on the couch and you can snuggle into me more?" You hum and let go walking to the couch with him. He plops down and you take off your heavy coat tossing it on the chair. Your boots are shucked off under the coffee table and you straddle his lap. You're about to lay on him when you take in his figure under you. In the dim light you can just barely make out the scars on his skin. That's surprising to you but you choose to ignore that for now. You drag your hand down his chest to his well defined abs. When you look up his expression makes you squeek. There's a dangerous grin on his face and you feel heat creep across your cheeks.
"By all means don't stop on my account." You trace the lines of muscle down his abdomen making the skin quiver under your fingers. He lets out a shaky breath at your touch and you lean down pressing your chest into his. You feel his hands grip your hips as you slip off his shades. His green eye's shift from side to side as he feels up your back. You caress his jaw and guide him to kiss you giving his plump lips a few languid pecks. He suddenly moves so his back is against the back of the couch with you still on top of him. Gripping your thighs he pulls you further into him centering your now twitching core over his crotch. His hand moves to your jaw and he pulls you in for another longer kiss. Your arms wrap around his neck and your fingers tangle in his short brown locks as the kiss grows heated.
He can feel and hear everything. The moment you paused in greeting him he heard your heartrate quicken and the slight nervous tone in your voice. And when you sat on him and paused again he could feel your core twitching on him. He absolutely grinned when he felt your hands roam over him and heard your heartrate quicken again. That little squeak when you looked at his expression was adorable and at this point he wanted to hear more. He hadn't often been this intimate with you as he was either too busy with work or you just weren't in the mood for anything more than some slow kissing. Now sure he thoroughly enjoyed whatever you wanted to do with him but this time felt different. He wanted you badly and it seemed you may be in the same mood. His own heart starts to beat quicker and soon he turns his attention to your neck.
He pulls away only to kiss your neck. You tilt your head for him and squeak when you feel him nip your throat. You jump but just as quickly relax back into him. His tongue licks across your skin and you shiver. A whimper escapes your throat when he licks over your adams apple. He kisses down to your collar bone but the collar of your shirt gets in his way. His fingers find the hem and pull it up and over your head tossing it to the floor. With the offending clothing out of his way he kisses over your chest. With the need for a bit of pressure growing every second you wriggle your hips into him. He groans in your ear at the friction and grips your hips tight. But suddenly he freezes as though he's realized something. "Hold on a second baby." He nudges you to get off him and he practically runs into the other room. It surprises you that he doesn't run into anything and he just as quickly runs back to you. A small square packet is between his pointer and thumb. He gives you a cheeky grin as he sits back down. With the packet hanging from his teeth he pulls you back onto his lap. Now that he's closer you can read the packet. Your face blooms red at the realization of what it is. You stand for a moment to pull down your pants and underwear while he does the same. When you look back up at him he's slipping on the condom. He's a good size and you can only think of how he'll feel opening you up.
You straddle him but stay on your knees hovering over him. You can feel your juices threatening to drip on him as you kiss him again. He moans as you take your turn kissing his neck. His hips suddenly buck upwards nudging your petals. You can feel a bit of your juices connect with his tip and pull away in a thin clear strand. The sensation is a bit strange but you continue your previous ministrations. Eventually you can't help yourself and you slowly lower down. His tip aided by your slick splits your folds open instantly. With one hand you rub him between your folds covering the condom in your slick. You lean your forehead against his and line him up with your entrance. Gently you push down and his tip slips inside making you shiver. His hands grip the couch cushions as he tries his hardest not to thrust up into you. You moan and whimper as he stretches you. He hisses and groans as you lower even further onto him. When you're fully seated on him he lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding. You both catch your breath for a moment before you feel him move his hips.
In this position he can't quite seem to get enough leverage or room to thrust into you so surprising you with his strength he stands up holding you. He walks to the kitchen counter and takes a towel from the drawer laying it on the counter. He lifts you up just enough to set you on the towel his hips still flush with yours. With the new position he leans over you hands on either side of you. He pulls out and plunges back in one time making you moan. He grins down at you liking the reaction he received. He starts a slow pace and you bury your face in his neck as you mewl and moan for him. Soon he quickens his pace and his own moans make you twitch around him. You call his name earning a growl from deep in his chest. The sound makes you squeeze around him and a choked sound from him follows. His thrusts get sharper and he let's grunts and growls flow from his lips. He suddenly slips both of your legs into the crooks of his elbows. The move basically folding you in half with his hands moving behind your back and locking on your shoulders. In a sudden show of pure strength he lifts you up in that position and thrusts into you harder. He snorts with the exertion and all you can do is try to bear the extreme pleasure he's giving you.
You feel the coil in you tighten as you quickly get closer to the edge. He can feel you getting closer and he continues his pace chasing your release. "C'mon baby let go." He kisses you as your coil snaps your juices cover his crotch but he could care less as he chases his own high. Just a few seconds after you he releases, pumping the condom full. He let's out a strangled growl at the intense feeling. After a few seconds he let's you wrap your legs around his waist again and sets you back on the towel. He leans on his elbows panting heavily. You're both drained of energy but after a minute he lifts you back up and takes you to his bedroom. After he cleans you both up with a wet washcloth he snuggles into bed next to you. You roll on top of him and get comfortable with your ear over his heart. "Love you Matt." "Love you too y/n." You both drift off to sleep in each other's arms.
