#They're all otter pops to me

[genshin-obsessed]

It's nice to meet a fellow simp of Monsieur Neuvilette.

Could I request his s/o going swimming with the leisurely otters and when he asks what they were doing, they say that they're playing with their children?

Omg those otters are so cuteee! I can't help but stop and play with them every time haha Word count: 557

Parent of the Otters~

"Where could they be...?" Neuvillette muttered to himself as he stepped outside Palais Mermonia. Where in Fontaine could you possibly be? The chief justice began walking, slowly going down the steps and waving to anyone who greeted him. Today was an early day for him so he decided to go and find you. As expected, he'd been a bit busy the last few days so he wanted to make it up to you by dedicating the rest of the day to you,

Having some idea, he followed his instincts to the water. You loved swimming so much, Neuvillette wondered if you weren't half fish because of it. Even the first time the two of you met, you were swimming. You were quite the oddball but your love for the sea was undeniable and unmatched by anyone he knew. It was one of your charming quirks that he couldn't help but love.

Thankfully, you weren't too far, choosing to swim around Salacia Plain, right near the small hill. Neuvillette was able to spot you as he was exiting the Court of Fontaine. The chief justice felt a rare smile tug at his lips when he saw you giggling, floating on your back. You were kicking your legs slowly to propel yourself around before dipping into the water and popping back out after a moment or so.

He made his way down to you, watching as you swam around like the fish that you were. Even though he was nearby, you seemed to be lost in your world, not noticing him at all until he spoke.

"You are here." His comment made you look toward him and your smile brightened immediately.

"Neuvillette! Hi! Look!" You said as you raised your arm high and flicked your wrist twice. Two otters jumped out of the water and over you, diving into the water only a foot behind you.

"You've taught the otters tricks now, huh?" He asked with a small shake of his head. Of course you did. You loved swimming with the otters and he always saw at least three around you. You had even named one of them Neuvillette, claiming they looked like one another- but he didn't understand that.

"They're my children now. They're so cute and they're always following me like I'm their parent so I've officially chosen to adopt them!" You giggled as three of them poked their heads out of the water.

"Our children apparently." He muttered to himself as he got closer to the shore. "They're certainly fond of you." He crouched by the shore and reached out his gloved fingers grazing the water. With just a simple flick of his wrist, a wave formed behind you and your subsequent children. It got bigger before moving back toward him. You squealed as you were whisked away to shore, bringing you to your husband. You gasped as you felt the sand below you, making you look up at him with wide eyes. You were right in front of him, his face only inches away from yours, his icy blue eyes gazing deep into yours.

"N-Neuvillette?"

"Sorry, you were too far and you seemed to be a bit distracted." He said as he leaned in before kissing your lips. Your eyes fluttered shut as you wrapped your arms around him, returning the sweet and loving kiss.

Gold can be exchanged for goods and services (o.o )

Pariah's Keep probably has a shit ton of Precious Goods from various places.

Danny is become King?

If Danny becomes King... then the Zone will somewhat obey him. The Crown and Ring could EASILY tell him where the next natural portal is, where it opens up, and for how long. How many there are. Could probably make a few.

Probably WAS supposed to be making them. Consciously. But, well, Coma(tm).

Would probably count as Kingly Duty to filter and collect. Clean Ecto goes out for souls that remain, a Gateway home for those that wish to LEAVE, so forth and so on.

Effectively, being The Grim Reaper. You don't CAUSE Death. You just guide the way home. If folks so choose.

And that's neat! Horrifying, but neat! And Danny can TOTALLY see how it would eventually drive him completely breakfast cereal fruity nuggets! LUCKILY, he's got a vaguely bro's/Mentor thing going with the ghost who has ALL OF POSSIBLE TIME flowing through HIS head! So Danny should be Gucci!

The headaches suck though.

But WHAT... to do with all this Gold and valuable Space Goods? Most of these aren't even recognized currency on earth! Like the Shells. You could buy a mansion with one of those... on the right planet. On Earth? Pretty paperweight. Hmmmm >.>

Wait.

WAIT!

<o> *points to top of head!* CROWN! It can? Predict and make PORTALS!

Portals lead any WHERE and any WHEN!

:O

Gold... can be exchanged for goods and services. He remembers, holding a gold brick, about to eat so, SO much pizza.

But WAIT! I hear you wondering! Surely, you mean? Within his past? The history and region of space he knows, right? Ha ha :) Nope! Cowards.

Danny is on the alien otter's planet, trading those sweet, sweet Shells for some snacks no human could eat and a shawl for his sister! He's hiding, badly, behind a food stall in the Martian market place. Hoping future hero J'onn Johnes doesn't notice him.

Lying to the Space Cops, bout where his untraceable Space Money came from, on an alien trading satellite. The Green Lantern's not buying it. Oh noooo >.> sudden Fright Knight. Looming Menacingly by the loading doooocks. Everyone's upset! Definitely not related to him! Better go check on that! :) *gets the heck out of dodge* (my king. Please stop using me as a distraction.) (No promises)

But! It's all fun and games? Until your human friends get sick. Like... REALLY sick.

And then you suddenly remember time and space mean nothing to you. One 15 minute flight that way, two doors, a quick flight of stairs, and a literal child's play place slide? You could be in the 32nd century.

That disease is AT BEST, an unpleasant afternoon, there.

Here, your friend could die.

You trade a student two Spanish dubloons. They have no idea what they are. Just like the look of them and know they're real metal. They walk into the pharmacy for you. Don't question your "social experiment paper" lie.

You're back in less then an hour.

The screaming argument about ethics and mortality lasts hours.

She still takes the medicine. Gets better. Won't talk to you for months. Because why does HER life matter more? Why bend the rules for HER? And you can't bring yourself to say what pulses as Truth from both Crown and Ring.

You could because she didn't Matter. Time... would not notice, nor change. She was in no way pivotal to the flow of history, must one more ant beneath its unrelenting march. Mattering only because those who love her CARE. Because one or two little things might change for the better.

But it takes the shine off of it, a little.

Being able to go to the FUTURE. Watch movies and see aliens and humans alike in the crowd. Read books and dance to songs from people who won't be born for hundreds of years. Eat snacks from the farthest reaches of the cosmos. Or the early BCs!

And that's BEFORE other time travelers clock him as That Shopping Guy. The one who keeps popping up... buying things. For what? Unknown. Probably dinner. Half the time it's food. Trinkets. Once it was a really, REALLY nice goat. (His aunt was THRILLED.)

It probably drives Bart crazy. Because NO ONE knows anything about the guy? Everyone just universally goes "oooh yeah! HIM! Yeah, he sure does Exsist(tm). Very... present and exsistant." Like that's not CRAZY! He has so many question. So Many! What is he even BUYING!? Why? Is there an order? Or is he winging it?!

*pulls out list* he needs ANSWERS!

hi hi! i'm a very anxious person but when my friends need me? oh you best believe i will order for you and complain when you asked for no pickles.

do you think twisted anxiety reader would be the same? they struggle now to be of help to yuu and grim, but picture early book 6? grim attacked yuu and is gone for the week. yuu is strong yes, and it was only a scratch, but it must have taken a toll on them to be attacked by their best catfriend and then not being able to see them. they still go to class but they go home as soon as the bell rings and talks only when necessary. there's a vacant look in their eyes.

yuu is popular and is bound to have people going to them at all times, public they can't evade forever. while exiting the classroom, a random npc goes to chat with them and while yuu would humor them any other time, now they can barely pay attention to the corridor and reader. the npc is persistent on chatting even though yuu's body language tells them to fuck off. yuu does not utter a single word, and keeps walking with reader trailing behind them. would reader intervene for yuu?

(english is not my first language so sorry if it's hard to read :c )

HELLO MY LOVE 🫶

EVERY TIME SOME SAYS ENGLISH ISN'T THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE THEY ALWAYS CREATE BANGERS- AND I KNOW BANGERS MAN. AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM

but no you're so right. maybe the over blot's are starting to catch up with yuu. especially after grim accidentally hurting them and the whole styx drama. in the game we can't see if yuu is affected by any of the overblots. we don't see them get properly.. compensated. although vil and leona's are different since they helped out with ramshackle.

but 🌀 yuu is NOT having a great time. and only reader is there to witness it, to help them through it. like jekyll and hyde, yuu is all smiles and sunshine during the day when out and about. but as soon as they get home... once they step into ramshackle.. it's a different story.

they're feeling the angst, they're telling reader how sometimes they can't even look the over blotter's in the eyes sometimes. especially azul and leona because all yuu can see is their more animalistic eyes that serve as a reminder to what they really are.

how they sometimes flinch from their enemies, now friends. how they always keep their guard up around the beast folk who were involved with the overblots.

yuu is... angry. how dare these teenage boy's do this to them, how dare they pretend like nothing happened. but what makes this all worse is that they understand that pretending like nothing happened brings back a sense of control, of normalcy for the victims.

yes the whispers in the hall seem to dim, but never silence. but with the encouragement of Crowley they become more controlled, no longer hallway chatter as people are making light of the situation.

"say that one more time and I'll over blot" "uh oh! looks like Reese has some blot on his shirt!"

and it's always 'poor house wardens this, poor house wardens that-'

WHAT ABOUT YUU??? they're always- always at the brunt of the over blot's and they don't even have magic!!

some days, when yuu doesn't have enough energy to spare their other friends, they silently haunt reader. staying by their side like an otter, only breaking apart for the few classes they have apart. and as soon as the bell rings and reader is done gathering their belongs and making a beeline for the door- yuu is already there, waiting outside the door. a brief moment of eye contact before they fall in line with each other.

if grim is there and trying to bug yuu, reader is there to play buffer. trying to distract the cat-monster as yuu gives them a grateful glance. but if he isn't, then it's silence between you two.

I think the reader doesn't like silence because if they aren't talking to someone then their thoughts catch up to them. but if it's for yuu? what's a little suffering if it's for a friend right?

if some of the first years pop up and try to drag yuu away, yuu will usually be able to fight their own battles, giving them a charming smile and saying that they'll join them some other time. sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. and when it doesn't reader has to take a deep breathe, and force themselves out of their two-person bubble.

they'll either irish goodbye the the lot, playing the bad guy as they're seen stealing yuu away. or say some kind of comment to one of the more prideful members to get them to start a inter-group conflict while reader and yuu slip away. or just lie, lying's good too.

but 🌀 reader would do anything, for their friend's.

one time, I was at the gym with my sister and this guy came and asked if we were using the machine and turned that into trying to hit on my sister- LITERALLY ENCAGING HER AGAINST THE WALL AND 2 MACHINES. and I humored it for the rest of my set because I know she can take care of herself, but when nothing was working I pulled my phone out uttering some bullshit that we needed to leave now. ofc she didn't even realize I was lying until I told her. but you'd be surprised how many guys can't. get. a. hint.

so reader saving the day from yuu getting hit on by an npc, or one whose yapping so much they don't even realize yuu is inching away is a common occurrence. with a quick '1,2,3 fuck it,' reader is rolling up their sleeves, marching over while creating a fake text from the ghosts and- "yuu we gotta go! grim has destroyed the curtains again!" and with a tug of their arm reader is dragging yuu away.

and- god forbid the npc follows, saying that they weren't done... is when reader becomes 'uncharacteristically' snippy. "unless you want to help clean cat vomit from the curtains, you're welcome to join us" you see a dust cloud in his place from how fast he ran.

yuu lets out a chuckle, looping their arm around yours as they lean their head on your shoulder. a small 'thanks' as they make their way back to good ol' ramshackle.

(there have been a few cases where the npc does offer to help. but yuu pulls out a smile and says 'next time')

It's Wednesday and I have something to share! Thanks for the tags today @artsyunderstudy and @facewithoutheart, I'm so so excited by what you're both working on, two of my favourite WIPs in the game right now!

It's been a while, but I've finally finished up my draft of Chapter 4 of Hiding Out In The Open. Hoping to post by the middle of this month once my lovely beta readers have a chance to help me make it better. For now, here's a snippet of Baz POV. Perhaps you'll recall the premise revolves around post-Watford Snowbaz bonding over a psychology podcast; they're discussing an episode about the psychology of disgust here. Under the cut because, well, it's a bit disgusting (your CW is this: the real life Hidden Brain ep this references is called Crickets and Cannibals 😂).

I curl my lip. “Just because lobster was once considered the vermin of the sea doesn’t mean I’m going to eat a bloody chocolate covered cricket.” My diet is gruesome enough as it is—I chugged the blood of four solidly-built London alley rats on the way here alone—which I suspect is the subtext of this whole display.  Snow basically confirms it. (He practically winks at me.) “Don’t yuck my yum, Baz,” he says breezily, popping another “chocolate” into his mouth with a flourish. (This time he chews with his mouth closed at least. I shudder at every crunch.) He swallows. “And I won’t yuck yours.” It’s all incredibly confusing. Before last week, every allusion and innuendo seemed to indicate that he found my unique nutritional requirements to be utterly loathsome. (Which they, of course, are.) I roll my eyes. “Where do we draw the line then, Snow? Andes plane crash victim crisps?”  He screws his face up. “First off: Gross. And”—he pauses to lick chocolate off his fingers—“you know full well I said I’d be okay with being eaten, not the other way round.” (Crowley below, how did I get here?)

I genuinely don't know if this would be considered a request or not, SO if you consider it a request then feel free to delete!! i was just curious about which hybrids can swim and which cannot? the question came to me when I was thinking back on ur hydro hybrids post and how u implied that, prior to xingqiu (and the other hyrdo boys), none of the hybrids were too adept at swimming !!

the majority of them can swim, but like, they're not good enough to dive into the water and lift you up like how xingqiu did in that.

they're literally creatures of the water. the hydro hybrids tend to poof into their animal forms whenever they find a body of water large enough to handle them. ayato will just lay at the bottom of the lake and chill while childe kicks up a fuss on the water's surface as he plays with other hybrids. xingqiu makes good use of this opportunity to show off his cute otter form to you. neuvi doesn't pop into his dragon form at all, though he does relax and let his scales and fin show.

itto sinks when he gets into the water. you have not seen zhongli swim at all and lounges at the side of water with a book in hand (the water is neuvillette's territory). gorou and albedo also prefer being on land whenever you bring out the hybrids to the lake. the geo hybrids don't swim much, although itto likes playing in the water. he just. sinks.

the anemo hybrids are okay at swimming. venti plays in the water with his donut floatie, mocking zhongli from where he can't be reached. kazuha and heizou don't really venture into the deep, especially kazuha because it gets dangerous for him if he accidentally poofs into a hybrid. such activities are above scara and prefers to just dip his feet into the water a.

Don’t mind me, I’m just handing out otter pops to all of SOLDIER. I make sure Sephiroth gets one and doesn’t just throw it away :>

He and Genesis get into a squabble because they both want "the red one" and there's only one left. Genesis thinks he should have it because all he wears is red. Sephiroth points out that he can't just claim all ownership of a color.

While they're in the process of killing each other for the twelfth time that day, Zack happily snags it for Cloud.

1. what are your favorite kink blogs? why do you like them?

oh man okay so this is BY NO MEANS an exhaustive list, these are just the ones that popped in my head first @otter-pup - super good scenarios about monsterfucking, breeding, somno, so much other stuff. checks off so many boxes, and actually one of the first nsfw blogs i remember following and was one of the reasons i made this blog, so i could rb his stuff :) @thatnonb1ny-cvmslut - my BELOVED FRIEND!!!!! one of the first people i dmed with and definitely the person i've talked with the longest and yeah <333 mwah love you @dhdh1200 - we've also been mutuals for a long time! they rb a lot of videos and pics that i don't reblog bc i try to keep that stuff off this blog (i don't wanna get nuked haha) but man i am Looking 👀 @transpidered - such such such good content just 10/10 wowie

21. have you found any dynamics you like playing with best?

tbh i think i need to explore more, but a lot of the ones i really like have something to do with service. shining shoes for a dom, being a cute little househusband, being a free use stress reliever for a friend group, that sort of thing. something where i don't feel so much pressure to think all the time and i can just be useful and praised just by existing and doing what i can without any stress or worry

22. are there kinks that have grown on you over time?

oh for sure. i think royalty is a fairly new one. something about being a prince that's seen as a big sex object with all the play around corruption and falling from grace that really hits me in the stressed-out-student-slash-activist-slash-oldest-sibling

24. would you be fine in a relationship without kink?

i don't see why not. right now i think i mostly look for potential partners in kinky spaces bc there's less stress about coming out as kinky if it's already known that the other person is also kinky, but if that coming out stress wasn't there and they understood that i would still be active in the local kink community, i'm perfectly fine with that! maybe i have a different view bc i've been Thinking about polyamory recently tho lol

25. are there any lesser-known kinks that you love?

this was hard at first bc i'm really bad at judging what's widely-known or not (shoutout to when i assumed everybody also listens to a. s. fanning, an artist on spotify who only has like 5k monthly listeners) BUT. i realized. one i really like that simply does not have enough posts on tumblr or ao3 is portal/magic kinks. like you're walking to class and suddenly a cock is forcing its way into you but you're literally alone and you have no idea what's happening. and there's somebody however far away with a portal fleshlight that they're fucking that's like my pussy and when they cum in the fleshlight the cum appears in me and there's no way for me to know who did that to me. 10/10 wish there was so much more content on this bc oh man

Hello smooches, its been a while since i popped up in your inbox again 😔 i really hope that you are still doing well. I finally have some free time omg 😭 i just completed the new archon quest and its so gooooooooddddddd 💞😖🛐 Navia and Neuvillette in the archon quest are so 👌👌*chef's kiss* and i LOVE the debate mechanic when we tried to solve the murder case so much, its really fun. They are giving me Danganronpa vibes 😩👌

AND THE UNDERWATER EXPLORATION OMGDFGSDBFNFMDNSKDH IT IS SO BREATHAKING AND THE SEALS AND THE OTTERS???? THEY ARE SO CUTEEEEE 🥺💞 (especially the seals, *clenches heart* gosh i love seals so much and they are one of my top 3 fav animals still to this day. I'm also marking every seals location on my map whenever i found them 👀)

Gosh now i can see why a lot of people love Fontaine so much, i really hope they will use the same mechanic on the next update later. Now i need to 100% exploration and do the event (i missed a lot of them 😭 rip primogems-). I'm so conflicted rn, either i should keep saving my primos for Capitano or trying to get one Neuvillette and his sign weapon.. but i currently have 347 IFs 😭 both of them are holding me on the chokehold- 😭 if i wasn't hospitalized back then and busy, i should've around 410-430 IFs rn.. 😔

-🥝

(I can't wait to devour ALL of ur recent works and rambles with other people and anons, smooches 🙏🛐 i just saw 3 of them before writing this and i'm already on my knees-)

🥝 ANON OMG HIIII IT'S BEEN SO LONG!! 😭❤️❤️ I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!! I am doing well, I hope you've been doing better now too 🥰 And YES I know the Fontaine Archon Quests were AMAZING 😭 I love the court trial stuff, it feels like a breath of fresh air from all the past quests :3 It took me back to my Danganronpa and Ace Attorney days too 😅 Navia and Neuv were my favs as well along with Furina. They're amazing and so pretty!

I KNOWWW i love exploring underwater, it's such an experience 🥺 AND YES THE SEALS AND OTTERS ARE SO CUTE. Whenever I see them laying on the shore I just smile because they're sooo cutie patootie omg 😭 But wow you're really dedicated, marking all the seals location! That's very cute <33 I'm not sure if there's going to be court cases next update though? The 4.1 update is focused on us breaking into the fortress so another trial will probably be later on after all that is done. And don't worry about primos too much, take care of yourself first alright? If you ask me though Capitano is still quite far from releasing so I would go for Neuvillette if you really love him (I'm pulling for him as well!) His signature weapon though... I don't know about that 😅 I never wish on weapon banners unless I have enough wishes and if that character is at my absolute top. So I would think about it carefully. But the decision is up to you!

Hehe I hope you have fun reading through my posts! I promise they're pretty juicy 🤭 Sending you lots of love 🥝 anon! ❤️

#smooches talks #🥝 anon #its just impossible to hate neuvillette #bros a cutie #but youre a bigger cutie 🥝 anon ❤️<33

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

Your trademark, to me, is just being Gold standard. I know whatever I read from you is gonna be awesome, and well written and I can't tell you how much I value that.

Also and this isn't me talking about the monsterfucking but I really appreciate how you often thread a bit of darkness or angst into your fics. Often I find that buddie fics in particular can be so shiny and fluffy they lack those sharper edges I often crave in my fics. Never have to worry about that when I see a fic of yours pop up.

Also also as a fellow migraine sufferer I'm sending love your way that shit is awful

...this was supposed to be an opportunity for people to roast me and point out things like "wow you really cry about otters a lot huh" and instead you come in here, to my house, and compliment me. WTF.

This was such a kind thing to say. I love how soft and kind Buck and Eddie are. They're genuinely good people and their gentleness and friendship with one another are a part of why I love them so much. They give each other a truly safe place. It sounds so simple, and yet "having each other's backs" is the core of their relationship and it's beautiful.

But they're also adults with a lot of trauma and adult issues, and I like my fics to reflect that. I also like to have some excitement and to have stakes in the fics especially if it's one of my more fantastical fics so it all feels real. I like some sharp edges myself, and I'm really so glad that I can provide that for you.

[ackermom]

mere seconds til lights out, and hardly anyone is in bed. that's sort of the way it always is with the boys. reiner doesn't imagine much what's going on in the girls' barracks, but he figures they've been sitting around discussing their days while they dry their hair and are just about ready to turn in. over here, meanwhile, connie is replacing the feather in jean's pillow with dirty socks while he's in the commode, an argument is brewing on the far side of the room over which animal each of them could most likely win against in a fight.

reiner, for once, has retired early and laid back in his bunk with a book. he doesn't know if it's good or not, because he's thinking about whether or not he could take a kangaroo. but at least he looks like he's reading.

bertholdt's damp towel appears over the end of their shared bunk. a moment later, he does too, a tuft of his dark-hair popping over the side of the bed as he crawls up the ladder and over reiner's feet.

"hi," reiner says. something about this is suspicious.

"hi," bertholdt agrees. he clambers into bed and squirrels up beside reiner, laying on his stomach with his chin resting in his hands. "what are you doing?"

very suspicious.

"reading," reiner answers. "what are you—"

"that's nice," bertholdt says breezily, staring up at him. "would you like to be doing something else?"

he raises an eyebrow. "something that involves my lips on your lips?"

"if that's the order you prefer."

"those are certainly the lips i prefer."

he tosses his book aside before bertholdt can say anything else. he'd only picked it up so the others would leave him alone while he waited for them to clear out of the showers so he could "forget something" and go sneak up on bertholdt, who he hoped might be waiting for him there. his hair's still damp. maybe reiner's imagining it, but he swears he feels a purr hum through bertholdt's body when he snakes a hand through his scalp, pushing his hair back. he looks like an otter.

"you look like an otter," reiner says. he could definitely take an otter.

"what?"

"nothing." he shuffles around, fluffing up the pillow behind his head to half-twist onto his side. "is this a trick? you hate making out in the bunks."

"i do not."

"you do too. you always get mad when i put the moves on."

"i get made when you go in for a hickey when i'm in the middle of a conversation with someone on the other side of the room."

his hands creep up until they're resting on reiner's shoulders, and his head follows, his chin perched upright and his smile sunnily placid. there's something about his eyes that almost looks dead, but he's kind of like a wild animal in that way. when the lights go out, they'll shine.

"but the lanterns will be put out soon," bertholdt says, lowering his voice to a whisper. "so..."

reiner wriggles his feet. "your toes are cold."

"you're wearing socks."

"but they're cooooold."

"help me warm them up then."

"your toes?" reiner exclaims. "bert, please— if the ladies could hear how you speak—"

he gets a cold foot right up the leg of his trousers for that. suddenly he can't feel his left knee. the rest of bertholdt's body is positively broiling, but those toes are like ice.

"i want to make out with you," bertholdt says flatly.

reiner pats a hand in his damp hair, then decides to leave it there like a little hat. "didn't anyone ever tell you it's not polite to beg?"

"i'm not begging," he says with his beautifully lifeless gaze. "i'm negotiating."

"fine," reiner sighs, like he's utterly resigned to this dreadful task instead of ready to hurl a pillow at the nearest lantern to put the lights out already. on second thought, that would probably just start a fire. still tempting though. "but you're not as quiet as you think you are. they're all going to hear you when i put my hand down your pants."

the rest of the room suddenly gets suspiciously quiet.

"what are you two doing?" comes connie's shout from the other side of the room. "hey, you know there's a fine for that kind of behavior! it's ten laps and half your breakfast if we hear either of you moan!"

"relax," reiner calls back. he throws his book over the edge of the bed. "we're just reading."

"subtle," bertholdt mutters as the lanterns start going out. the barracks only get louder as the boys flop into their bunks and yell their stories across the room, as if screaming into the dark will help them see better.

he unfastens the button on reiner's shirt with expert precision. "that's what i like about you."

"i hope so. you'll be paying for it tomorrow at breakfast."

"i don't think so."

"no?"

reiner blinks into the dark. bertholdt's eyes hang over him two like two full moons.

"no," he answers as he burrows his hand down reiner's pants. "you're the one they're going to hear."

@ranshoehub okay you're getting my list this way because putting it all in replies to your post would be inconvenient. I am only briefly mentioning things though so I'll give you more on whatever you're interested in.

First off, like you said, you already have a kitsune but on the subject of foxes there's also the Kuda-gitsune (what Tsukasa is, a pipefox). Also similar to that is an Izuna, quite similar to a kuda-gitsune but they act as familiars to a magicky person. Then there's Myobu who are foxes of good fortune that often guard shrines. Usually they're statues but within Touhou statues coming to live ain't exactly uncommon.

Then there's kodama. Kodama aren't really a specific look (though I quite like how they were in Princess Mononoke) but they're tree spirits that come from particularly long lived trees. They're also the namesake for a particular type of bullet train so I just thought that was a neat detail to share.

Kamaitachi are basically little weasel youkai (their name means sickle weasel) who run around and give you a cut on a leg. They also sometimes are depicted doing something that kinda resembles sonic spindashing.

A Mujina is kind of like a kitsune or a Tanuki. Being a somewhat mischevious shapeshifting animal. A mujina, however, is a badger youkai (best animal). Well a Japanese Badger which is called an anaguma and is not the same as a western badger. Though they are masters of disguises they tend to give themselves away because they like to sleep and when they do their tail pops out.

Kube-Kira-Uma are a horse spirit that doesn't have a head. Like a headless horseman but without the man part. They often are depicted acting as holiday steeds for gods or powerful youkai.

Raiju are some sort of thunder beast that bring storms with them. But what they actually look at varies greatly. Sometimes they're a dog, a fox, some sort of larger animal, a squirrel thing, I dunno art of them is real inconcistent. But they're some sorta funny storm making beast.

To go with the above there's the Qilin/Kirin/Girin. Which is a Chinese/Japanese/Korean Deer-Dragon (or sometimes a unicorn or a horse-dragon) that fights dragons and is often associated with storms. Their appearance traditionally is said to herald the birth or death of a great leader or philosopher. They're supposed to be very calm and serene but they will fuck you up. It's cool.

Kudan is a cow with a human face. When they're born they utter a prophecy and then immediately die. I can't find anything too interesting about them but they;re just too funny not to include.

Nekomata I'm mentioning just by virtue of them being one of the types of cat youaki that has not been a major character in Touhou.

A very modern (The 1980s) youkai is Jinmenken which are dogs with the face of humans. The stories about it are that you find it rooting around in your garbage, it notices that you've noticed it, then it looks up at you and sadly says "just leave me alone" and walks away.

Akaname comes into your house and drinks your bathwater. I gotta mention that guy cause he's gross.

Kotobuki is a chimera made up of all the animals of the Chinese zodiac.

Aosagibi is a bird that glows with ghost fire

Amenasu: A shape shifting animal but it's a big fish

Amabiko: Three legged ape youkai that walks out of the sea to give prophecies

Furaribi: A like ... flying chicken fireball? Which floats around aimlessly.

Bitan: Aquatic cowfish

Furi: Flying otters that ride on the wind and are maybe a type of weird tanuki

the ask game!

For sam: no. 11

For dean: no. 16

For both: no. 52!

<3

(happy wincest wednesday! I'll do the last few of these I have in my inbox but then that'll have to be my last bits!)

(also HAPPY WINCEST WEDNESDAY don't forget to be thankful for the brotherfuckers and the brotherfucking admirers in your life!)

11. Do you prefer giving or receiving oral sex?

SAM: I don't think anyone can really complain about receiving, but, uh -- giving. Definitely. It's just... good. First of all, there's something really satisfying about making someone else feel that good, whether that's a woman or a guy. Well -- one guy, in particular. I like settling in and doing the job, and doing it well. I don't mind if someone likes to take charge a little, although I don't like gagging -- does anyone? I don't know, maybe they do. But my favorite is when someone just lays back and lets me do my thing, lets me watch and learn and figure out what they like best, and when you can really blow their mind, get them shaking and cursing and all? That's the best. If I can get that, I don't even need to get my half taken care of.

16. Name a song you’d listen to during hard, rough or kinky sex.

DEAN: Dragula. Easy. SAM: Dude. DEAN: C'mon. You burn through the witches, dontcha, Sammy? Plus I actually did bang it out to that one once. In the car, too. It works, trust me.

52. What was the weirdest thing that has ever turned you on?

DEAN: Don't let Sam answer, we'll be here all day. Ha. No, uh -- let's see, weirdest thing? I mean, there's a bunch of stuff that's weird but I know exactly why it's hot. Like seeing the old lady librarian's weird beige support bra by accident. Sure, you don't want to get down with the old lady librarian -- maybe she's got moves but it's not your first thought -- but hey, accidental underwear shot, that works no matter what. SAM: ...It absolutely does not. DEAN: Expand your horizons, Sammy. Anyway. So, weirdest thing that's actually weird, for me? That part in Star Wars where they're gonna get eaten by the, like, trash compactor thing. Got a boner. SAM: You're joking. DEAN: People respond to danger in very different ways. Anyway, don't judge me, Mr. 'I jerked off to the sixth grade history textbook.' SAM: That wasn't -- okay. Whatever. Uh, weirdest thing. I -- um. DEAN: This should be good. SAM: When I was... fourteen or something? It was summer. I went through a whole thing of otter pops one day, because -- I don't know, I just did -- and on the last one I gave myself a paper cut -- plastic cut, I guess -- on the corner of my mouth, and it really hurt but my tongue was practically an ice cube by that point and so I kept licking it, and that, uh. It worked. DEAN: ...Wow. SAM: Don't say anything. DEAN: Judge not lest ye be judged. Although now I want to lay in a supply of otter pops.

@felalalieisafeminist replied to your text post

Oh no... That looks really fun and yummy!! Pour one out for me having to change my opinion~ y_y I even eat those all the time but here they're called Otter Pops

Ha meanwhile when otter pops came up in stories I thought the name sounded odd and wasn't sure what to imagine. Hooray for cultural exchange :)

Has Mark Webber really fucked up Oscar Piastri's move tho? Because if everything works out just fine then this might end up being a brilliant marketing move. After all press is good press. Tbh I've started to suspect he might be going to Alphatauri but if he does end up in McLaren I can't wait for the twink on twink violence. Something tells me Lando and Oscar will be at each other's throats at all times. Given their current drama handling/creating I'll bet on Oscar winning whatever little twink wars they wage.

I'm going to honest with you anonstie I have not been keeping up with silly szn contracts beyond that initial first week... and in my head it is incredibly funny if mark simply did not pick up any of Oscar's calls bc he was busy showing newly retired seb some private island 🏝 leaving Oscar, a true zoomer, to tweet thru the pain....

i hope webber has piastri's ass LOCKED in an f1 seat cause otherwise publicly breaking with the team that you were the reserve driver for 😵‍💫 like years down the line you'd want the relationship to be good enough to return (ahem... Daniel...🐝)

I WILL be living for the McLaren twink on twink violence. they tried to recapture the twink x hunk Lando Carlos dynamic by shoehorning otter hunk Daniel but his bottom tendencies, (much like a post contract reveal that your alpha driver is actually an omega and needs trips to Montana bimonthly for his heats 😱 and McLaren didn't make him sign an alignment clause so they can't fire him without paying out cause it would discrimination) meant lando and daniel didn't work out. so now they're cutting the problem altogether by twink x twink it up, a la Pierre and Yuki....... except both Lando and Oscar are godless feral twinks and they WILL be at each other's throats 2007 pop diva style... or so I hope 🙏

What are your top five favorite books?

Dresden Files! Specifically Dead Beat, because of the t rex. Sassiness, magic, pop culture references, fae, urban fantasy which is my fave genre. YES PLEASE. i have an autographed copy of one if that tells you anything

Lord of the Rings. A classic, I read it every year, FUCKING HERO'S JOURNEY, FRIENDSHIP, IMPOSSIBLE ODDS, EOWYN MY LOVE

Mercy Thompson series. URBAN FANTASY, MAGIC, WEREWOLVES, VAMPIRES, ROMANCE.

The Redwall series. I picked up Taggerung as a kid when I saw a book with a BADASS pirate otter holding a knife on the front and got hooked. They're still some comfort reads for me, and I have all of them except 4 which I've lost at some point.

Pride and Prejudice, oooooooooooooh my god that slow burn and sure it doesn't pay off in smut but itS PERFECT, IT'S BEAUTIFUL, THE LONGING, THE PASSION, THE WAY SHE TAKES NO SHIT FROM MR. DARCY AND HE LOVES IT.

#ask response #Pick Five #you can prob see shades of a lot of these in TRT tbh #Dresden Files is where I learned banter and fights #LOTR is character development and allowing reader's own mind to imagine the character descriptions #mercy thompson is more snark but also strong fem protag #redwall is my obsession with beautiful description #pride and prejudice is def the slow burn
