i was thinking sometimes my dissociation kicks in full force and i realize i’m inhabiting a female body i kind of full on freak out like this is not okay! oh my god! i am literally always in danger what the fuck how did i make it this far? and it’s all very scary. my point is i can see how mental illness is comorbid with gender dysphoria.
AND another thing is i don’t think it would be a stretch to assume that by these standards, women can also develop some sort of AGP. if you don’t recognize yourself as female, and it feels extremely foreign to you, then perhaps affirming the fact and constantly reminding yourself you are could arouse such a person. of course it’s not nearly the same thing but i think it makes sense why so many women go full on hypersexual where others bind their breasts and cut their hair. in response to the same bodily disconnect.

Tumblr media
Any other time, the front door swinging open would’ve set you off into a happy prance to greet whoever it was coming home. Your ears would be perked up, tail swishing back and forth so fast it becomes a blur. You’d wrap either Leon or Ada in a tight embrace, nuzzling them and inhaling a deep breath of their scent you’d been missing for however long they’d been gone.
That would happen any other time, but not right now. Not when you're spread out in Leon’s lap with his hand holding a vibrator to your clit.
When the front door opens right now, you barely register it. Your droopy eyes don’t catch the motion, and your own whines and whimpers combined with the buzz of the toy make it hard for you to hear the familiar creak. You only become aware it’s happened when you see Ada standing a couple feet from the couch, staring down at you with a knowing look on her face. You want to say something, to acknowledge her at the very least, but all words get tangled up in the back of your mouth. They melt down into more needy moans.
“Starting the fun without me?” she asks. Despite looking at you, you know she’s speaking to Leon.
“It wasn’t really a choice. You should’ve seen her. She was practically humping my leg before I let her have this,” he says.
“I bet. It’s because you spoil her. She knows you’ll give in,” she says as she approaches the couch.
Leaning over you, she catches his lips in a quick kiss. She then turns her focus for you and guides your face to look up at her.
“You’re so cute though. I can’t say I blame him,” she says and gives you a kiss too.
You eagerly reciprocate the affection. Your eyes remain fixed on her after she pulls away and sits at the other end of the couch. Her gaze meets yours, sending a wave of pleasure straight to your center. Your eyes flutter shut again as your hips begin bucking harder against the toy and your head tilts back against Leon’s chest.
He chuckles and gives you a kiss of his own. “That’s a good girl, baby. Show mommy how bad you needed your toy,” he coos.
His free hand moves up on your body to fondle one of your tits. You arch into his palm while you can feel her eyes sweeping over your form from her seat opposite you.
“Has she cum already?” Ada asks.
“Oh yeah,” Leon answers as if it’s obvious, “How many times, pup?”
“Twice, daddy,” you whimper, your nails digging into the flesh of his forearm that was wrapped around you.
He rewards your correct answer by swiveling the toy over your clit in a mini figure eight. You cry out, and your legs begin trembling. Your ears pin to your head as more mewls erupt from you. He smiles down at you and continues to drag the toy over your pussy, teasingly prodding it at your entrance before taking it back up to your sensitive bundle of nerves.
Across from you, she has slipped off her boots and brought one of her feet onto the couch cushion. Her legs spread, revealing the black panties she wore under her dress. You lock onto the sight, mouth already watering in anticipation. Two of her fingers slide down between her thighs and stroke over the fabric. She relaxes against the arm rest supporting her back and presses down a bit harder as she continues to watch Leon play with you.
“Daddy…” you whimper for the man behind you. Everything going on was piling up right now.
“What is it, puppy? You gonna cum for daddy again? Gonna gush all over my pants again. You’re already dripping so much, sweetheart,” he says softly while he continues to work the vibrator on you.
“I know,” you whine, “Can’t help it, daddy. Need it.”
“You need it?” Ada teases. Her voice has a breathy quality now as she plays with her own pussy over the black lace between her legs. “You really are getting to be spoiled.”
“I’m sorry,” you whimper, lip jutting out into a pout.
“Go easy on her. I think her heat is coming. She hasn’t even been complaining about it being too much,” Leon tells her with a smirk.
“Is that right?” she continues, “Maybe you really do need it then. You’re gonna need it next week for sure. Daddy’s gonna have to take extra special care of you, won’t he?”
You nod wildly, your hips moving back and forth on his lap like they have a mind of their own. You can feel the bulge that’s formed in his pants. Your ass pushes up against it with every rock.
“Maybe mommy will help you out too. I’ll pull out that extra special toy you only get when you’ve been really good,” she teases.
You again nod almost as fast as your tail can wag. Both of them caring for you at once, pressed up against you, filling you to the brim sounded like heaven. The image alone is enough to carry you to the edge and rip a shriek from your throat.
“Good girl,” he croons, “You cum again, princess. Cum for daddy and show mommy what she missed earlier.”
With his permission, you let loose. You gasp for air through ragged inhales. Your back arches and jerks with the weight of the euphoria crashing over you. The pleasure only intensifies when you hear a soft moan come from Ada as she watches you let go. Your eyes screw shut, and you rely completely on Leon to keep you from toppling off his lap to the floor.
Once you’ve been through the high and are on the way down, he clicks off the vibrator. He plants a wet kiss on your cheek and scratches the base of your ears gently. You curl into the love and squish your cheek against his muscular chest.
He smiles down at how sweet you are. His hand rubs up and down your back. “You love daddy’s lap. I think it might be your favorite place,” he whispers.
You nod again, this time the motion coming out slurred and lazy.
“That’s right. That’s cause it’s where good girls like you belong. Daddy always wants his precious little puppy close,” he says, “But I think mommy could use some attention too, yeah?”
You perk up at that, remembering that the other person in the room did in fact need your affection. Climbing off his lap and making your way to the other end of the sofa, you smile at Ada on the way there.
“There’s my girl,” she coos.
Her hand leaves her cunt as her arms open to welcome you. You collide with her and cuddle up to her. Nuzzling her breasts, you loop your arms around her waist.
“I missed you today,” you mumble.
“That’s good because I missed you too. You look like you had fun playing with daddy though,” she says and kisses your nose.
“Mhm, but I still missed you,” you say.
She smiles down at your loving nature and strokes along your jawline. “I think I know a fix for that problem,” she says.
You beam up at her in affirmation, having the same solution in mind. The solution you’d had in mind since she first flashed the seductive garment covering her pussy. You’re beginning to slide South when Leon grabs your ankles and tugs you towards him, speeding up your trip.
“Daddy!” you whine and throw a look over your shoulder.
He chuckles at your small cry of protest. He had undressed himself during the moment between you and Ada. His muscular abdomen was on full display for the both of you with his hard cock hanging between his legs. He steps closer to you, placing his hands on your hips and giving them a firm squeeze.
“Shhh, I think daddy deserves a treat too for playing with you, yeah?” he asks.
“I guess,” you huff. Of course, you would never actually turn down a chance to have Leon’s cock inside you, but you also liked playing annoyed sometimes.
You nuzzle into the junction of Ada’s thighs. Your nose swipes over her center, taking in the heady scent that had heat flowing through you. You kiss and lick at the fabric before pushing it aside. One of your arms secures itself around her leg while the other keeps the black cloth from getting in your way. You dive right into your task, lapping at her slick like it’d been years since you tasted it last.
“Such an eager baby. We never really trained patience into you, did we?” she sighs as her head falls back.
You don’t respond, too enthralled with her folds to register her words. You whimper against her skin. The taste alone is enough to have you squirming, but combine that with her hand smoothing over your head and her soft moans of “that’s it, puppy” and “so good for your mommy” and your own thighs were shifting against one another in search of even more relief than you’d been provided today.
Lucky for you, that wouldn’t be an issue for long. Leon shifts you up, pushing your face deeper into Ada’s cunt in the process. He elevates your hips to where he can access your own pussy. You’re already in the middle of the act, so he doesn’t see the need to tease you. Plus he was already so worked up from the multiple releases he’d watched you go through on his lap.
He slides right in with no resistance thanks to how soaked you were. He groans and sinks all the way in. You let out a satisfied moan but remain focused on Ada. You suck on her clit and flick your tongue on the bud before going back down and licking at her hole with sloppy strokes of your tongue.
He lightly smacks your ass from behind, drawing one more whine from you as he then begins to thrust. Your chin is coated in Ada’s arousal by this point, but that only spurs you on in your fervor.
Her noises gain volume, joining in the chorus of moans coming from you and him. Your noises are slightly muffled since you're buried in her cunt, but his skin slapping against yours with each movement makes up for that lost volume.
“Messy little puppy,” Ada whimpers as she watches you devour her, “Can’t get enough, can you?”
You shake your head as your head bobs up and down, pleasuring each inch of her. He picks up speed behind you, starting to slam into you at a faster pace. You bounce back and reciprocate the thrusts.
“Fuck, look at her go, babe,” he grunts to Ada, “So desperate for daddy’s cock.”
“That’s right,” she breathes, looking up into his eyes, “None of her toys could replace the real thing. She’s always gonna need that the most.”
“Is that true, pup?” he asks you with another slap to your ass. His eyes stay engaged with Ada’s for a moment longer, both sets glossy with lust and consumed with the pleasure you provided.
“Yeah, daddy. Nothing else feels the same,” you pant before pushing your face back against her pussy. Your nose bumps against her clit from the rocking motion of the man behind you.
“Sweetest little puppy in the whole world,” he groans and tilts his head back. He almost loses it when he sees how fast your tail is wagging as he drills into you. “Taking it perfectly, baby. You earned every inch.”
You moan at the praise and lap at her with increased dedication. Your whimpers get stronger and they can both hear it. Ada’s beginning to shake violently as you had when you were on Leon’s lap at the mercy of the vibrator. Her thighs fight the urge to clamp around your head before finally giving in when she reaches the edge.
“Fuck baby that’s it. Make mommy cum,” she moans.
You lick stripes against her pussy with precision, doing it just the way you’d learned she liked. From her noises, you know she’s reaching the boiling point.
“Make mommy cum, and daddy’ll give you a treat, pup. Your favorite treat,” he says.
Your tail starts wagging so fast he thinks it’s gonna fly off at any moment. He also feels you tighten up around him, bringing that special treat even closer to reality. Your fingers dig into the soft flesh of her thighs while keeping the panties as far out of the way as physically possible at the same time.
It’s no time before she seizes up above you and gushes all over your face. You take in every drop you can, not letting up at all as she rides it out. She grips the couch cushion and your head, pulling you impossibly closer. Leon watches the beautiful sight in front of him. Seeing it only serves to drive him to his own edge. He slams into you a few more times. Then he unloads and sprays your favorite treat deep inside you. He fucks it into you, making sure you get it all as he moans and locks his hands on your hips.
You have your own release too. It’s muted compared to the last three, but still enough to have your body rolling and your moans loud enough to be heard from within the confines of Ada’s thighs.
She’s the first to come back to reality. Leon’s pulled out of you and laying back against the cushion while you’ve collapsed where you were. She lifts your head and swings her legs around to sit normally. She places your head back down on her lap and soothingly strokes your head.
“Good girl. You did perfect. We couldn’t ask for more,” she coos.
“Thank you,” you murmur while pressing your face against her legs.
Leon isn’t long after her to rejoin the land of the lucid. He sits up with a few deep breaths and scoops up your lower body to flip you over and hold your legs in his lap. He rubs your belly and watches over you as you sit in the afterglow of all that ecstasy.
“You worked so hard, pup,” he says softly, “We’re so proud of you.”
They both relax and catch their breaths while showering you with gentle touches and kind words. You couldn’t be happier. While you were all tuckered out for today, you couldn’t help your thoughts from drifting to the next time you could play all together again. You float off into a nap as you rest in the loving cocoon of their affection.

monkey d. luffy's 5 love languages
gender neutral readers. fluff. improper grammar. no uses of (y/n) or (name). established relationship. strawhat-coded reader. i tried to lean into luffys childlike personality without infantilizing him... tell me how good i did that please. is meant for opla!luffy but it can go for anime!luffy as-well. spoiler free
color coded text: luffy
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
physical touch: luffy is very touchy feely. he likes wrapping his entire body around you like a wet noodle just because he can and you're going to have to deal with that!! he loves giving you cheek kisses or small bites on your fingers, shoulders and chest but in a non-sexual way! he loves holding your hand and swinging it back and forth. he thinks is super fun and he'll do it really hard sometimes and make his arm loose shape and flail around in the wind.
acts of service: you could ask him to get a star out of the sky he'd do it!!! he'd do little things like get things off of shelves, grab something from your room or giving you a piggyback across an island but he'd literally do anything you ask him to without a second thought..well maybe be sides share his food, he'd have to think about it foe a second and then give you a piece. but fr he's big on helping you though, he likes doing things for you. and if you ever asked him why he dose he wanna help he'd be like 'because you need help' which translates to 'because i like being with you'.
quality time: you two spend alot of time together not only because you live on a boat together (with the crew ofc) but he also seeks you out when he's bored. downtime on the ship is v common because it can take weeks to get from point A to point B and thats where you come in. sometimes he takes you to the figure head and makes you tell him stories or talk about your thoughts. other times you just sit on the deck and sunbathe while he holds your hand it all depends really.
giving/receiving gifts: it doesn't take alot to impress him he's like a baby—easy to please! you could give him a fish & he'd wiggle it around before yelling at asking sanji to cook it for him. his gifts however are usually one of two things either— 1) it takes trials and tribulations to get or 2) it comes of as simple to someone from the outside looking in but it means alot to him no in between! like lets you say you want a apple he'd somehow fight a congregation of alligators to bring back 1 apple then he'd ask for a bite. ORRRRR he gifts you something like a drawing of you that looks rushed and childish with gears around it but it took him an hour—you watched him as he would go back and forth between looking at you foe a minute and scribbling and erasing on his paper. some might make fun of him for that but you of all people know that it means a lot to him that you have!
words of affirmation: he talks about you like you hung the moon and stars you could be a marine, a civilian, someone on his crew it doesn't matter. he'd tell everyone how he feels about you regardless if you're there or not. he never misses a moment to talk about you highly though his vocabulary is a little limited so he doesn't say things like "you're extravagant" or "i admire you." when he compliments you he says things like "you're so fun." and "i like you so much." again his words are surface level to those who don't know him but he really does think highly of you even if his words don't exactly reflect it but actions are louder than words anyway.

hi august!! it’s 🍭 anon from your blurboki blog!! i just had the worst shift of my entire life. i had to close my whole store down by myself after working 12 hours at two different jobs while running on two hours of sleep and i was so behind that i was there an hour past my scheduled shift. if you have the time, could you give me headcanons of how skz would comfort a stressed reader coming home from work and breaking down in front of them;( my boys are the only thing keeping my sanity right now. i hope you’ve had a good day today, and your mom is so cute for those minsung texts<33
🧷 SKZ COMFORTING YOU AFTER A STRESSFUL DAY
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
・ including. ot8
・ warnings crying, nicknames, mental breakdowns, angst
note. rushing to write this as fast i can because you deserve it for being so unbelievably sweet and incredible. you’re doing amazing i hope you know that, and please, even if it’s hard to make time while being so busy, make time to take care of yourself, okay? i recommend watching episodes 33, 52, and 61 of chan’s room, they’re some of my favorite comfort watches <3
Tumblr media
CHAN hates when you cry. He hates it so much it makes him feel sick to his stomach. He could still perfectly remember how your voice had shook, looking so utterly sad and broken and it made him feel like everything was his fault—that he should’ve done better. Better at protecting you, caring for you, everything. Not like he didn’t before, just better. Urging you to take deep breaths and listen to him as he spoke, he pulled you into his chest, helping calm your frantic heart down. “It’s going to be okay, listen to me baby, you’re okay.” Chan whispered, soul splintering into pieces from your fragile hiccups against his t-shirt, sounding so fragile and pained. Oh what he would give to kiss all your worries away, hug you close to him for eternity—till you never felt this way ever again. He would. He’d stay here all night—no, his entire life—if that’s what it took.
MINHO kicked his feet as he walked back to your place, plastic bag filled with snacks from the convenience store swinging aimlessly beside him. Though suddenly his phone began ringing, face lighting up upon seeing your number. “Jagi~ did you miss m-“..Min.. can you come home faster please? I really need you right now.” Something was wrong. Very wrong. He’d never stopped in his tracks so fast, bag long abandoned behind him as he sprinted as fast as he could. Basically slamming into the door with panic before collecting you—who was curled up on the floor—into his arms and hushing your rambles, rocking back and forth as he let you cry, cry and cry until you murmured that your face hurt from the tears and he eased you to fall asleep, giving your lips an open kiss as your head tipped back against his shoulder, finally succumbing to the exhaustion. Minho didn’t need to know what happened, what was wrong. He didn’t care, you could save that for later. Right now, he needed to make sure his love was safe and warm.
CHANGBIN looked up from his phone as the key to the door clicked, awaiting you with upturned lips and happiness-filled crescent moon eyes. That was, before you pulled your bottom lip between your teeth, choking on the bubbling sob threatening to climb up your throat. It was like slow-motion watching you crumble, and he immediately grabbed your hands and led you to the foot of your shared bed, giving your hands soft squeezes. A silent, ‘I’m here, so don’t be afraid to talk to me.’ Speaking words that didn’t need to be spoken. Changbin was good at that. “I’m just so overwhelmed with work and life and today was beyond shitty. And it’s unbelievably hard sometimes to exist, y’know?” He nods in response, appearing equally upset. Watching you break down is extremely difficult for him, but he knows this is how you recover, how you get through this and he can’t interfere. Without saying anything, the rapper stares at you so lovingly, beckoning you into a long, cozy hug as he pats the top of your head.
HYUNJIN could see the heart-breaking glossiness of your eyes before any words were shared between you two. Simultaneously, he lifted a finger to your lips, brows lifted expectantly. “Shh.. not yet, not yet. Wait, sweetness.” Then proceeds to wrap you into a blanket burrito and turn on disney movies at low volume while you’re pulled into his lap on the couch, all in a matter of thirty seconds. He runs gentle fingers along your cheeks, trailing up to thumb away stray tears dappling your under eyes. So, so delicate, like someone could snap the line of carefulness with a dull butter knife. Hyunjin listens to you attentively, as if you were the only thing existent in the moment. He listens and listens and listens some more, letting you release all the built up anxiety and stress drowning you. Once you finish, he ever-so slightly tips your chin to kiss him, hands cupping either side of your face. “We’re going to get through this together, trust me.”
HAN’s entire expression shifts instantly, brows knitting with concern and eyes growing wide. “Baby?” Head snapping up, he frantically nods, debating on what his first move should be. “Could I.. cry? For a second.” You shakily ask, and to say his heart broke was an understatement. “Baby, you never have to ask. Now c’mere.” He meekly smiles, patting the spot on the couch beside him. Turns out, your boyfriend isn’t as strong as you thought, because a mere ten minutes into your crying and he joins, whining jumbled sentences in between sobs about how he plans to beat up whoever’s responsible until you begin laughing at him and he cries even more because: “I love you so much— stop laughing~” and “I don’t understand why you’re laughing, this is sad!” Not to mention this crying fiasco eventually leads to the both of you fast asleep sprawled on the couch, snacks and drinks scattered everywhere as emotional support. Nonetheless, you could always count on Jisung to be there for you, cry with you, laughing with you, anything. Always.
FELIX throws off his oven mitts upon hearing your bag hit the floor, but what he hadn’t expected at the door were heavy tears steaming down your face, sniffing profusely to replace the air quickly snatched from your lungs with each breath. He falters, assessing the situation at hand. You’re incapable of talking, mind racing too fast too properly react. Although, without fail, Felix ushers you into a chair, pulling his own up to sit in front of you. Big, mystifyingly beautiful brown orbs study your face, kindly making eye-contact in the midst of your blinking. Reassurance, kindness. Felix is undeniably patient, undeniably kind. He disappears, scouring through cabinets to return with a small dessert and an equally small fork. Tediously cutting a small bite, he holds the treat up to you, humming like a proud mother watching her baby eat when you take a bite. One by one, more and more bites. More humming, more light touches brushing away sticky strands of hair plastered onto your face. Quiet. Your apartment is quiet and has been since you returned. No one has said a word, but Felix seems to always find a way to say how much he loves and cares for you.
SEUNGMIN can tell. Even on the most normal of days, he can tell. Like today, when you nonchalantly kissed his cheek like you usually did and retreated into the bedroom, he could tell. A shift in the air. Subtle, but a shift in the air, because when he walked in afterwards, leaning forward where you sat, laptop placed on your desk, he watched you stifle a billowing noise before the wave crashed and you buried your face in your hands. “I can’t keep doing this, Seungmin.” Using his name like that, not Minnie or Min, but Seungmin told him all he needed to know. Wrapping himself around you from behind, he sighed softly. “I know you’re tired, and I know you want to stop but you’re doing good. You’ve been doing good, so please don’t let this bad day ruin better days in the future. ‘M so proud of you.” He mumbles against your neck, leaving chaste kisses there. For Seungmin, your boyfriend that (playfully) picked fun at you to be saying things like this meant a lot. You couldn’t contain the tears after that. “I love you, Minnie.” — “No, ‘love you more.” — “Are you sure?” — “Nope.” — “Hey!”
JEONGIN struggles to make out your shape in the darkness, laying in bed where he’d been waiting for you. Today you returned late, stuttering over every chance of communicating as you clumsily slipped into bed beside him. He immediately raised up, nudging you closer to him to cuddle. “Mm love, what’s going on, tell me.” He asked, tone low from sleep. “I don’t want to talk about it, ‘just want you, Innie.” He cracks a weak smile, burying his face in your collarbone. “Then I’m here, for you.” Jeongin hums, allowing you to mumble your frustrations and thoughts without complaint, trying to reply his best while feeling himself drift off periodically. Eventually, you both fall asleep beside each other, limbs tangled and hair splayed in all directions. In the morning he helps ice your puffy eyes, big hands holding onto your hips gently as your back lean against him, both brushing your teeth. And you decide, with Jeongin, nothing can be wrong. Nothing can hurt, nothing bad will last. He’s safe. You love him.

Can I request a yandere Luke or Jace with a servant so? Like the reader would be making the bed and turn around to see them just staring at her lovingly
Messy room
Tumblr media
Yan!Lucerys Velaryon x Fem!Reader
THIS IS SO CUTE
This is just something fluffy kinda with yandere undertones.
Warnings: Yandere tendencies, stalking.
Tumblr media
The castle had been busy for the past few days in kingslanding for all the maids and servants, you however had been placed under the helping of the young prince. He was never much a hassle to work for, he wasn’t rude or very messy however he still was a man. Being young, you took the sheets and cleaning the room, sometimes you thanked the gods for.
Unlike before his room was truly a mess with clothes thrown over the floors with no effort to keep clean, or the sheets had been almost off the bed. Looking around the room you take a deep breath and almost giggle at the picture in your head of the cute prince. Maybe you were to infatuated with him but you couldn’t help it, he was kind.
You started with picking the clothes off the ground and placed them in your basket you had brought. Next, you spent a hour cleaning off the counters and reorganizing everything you had, the next thing was the bed. Of course his favorite was the silky sheets to feel cool in the night and was the most comfortable for his sleep, or the pillows with extra feathers within them. Most of the time he had not been able to sleep when you were not the one fixing his bed because you knew what was best.
Just like knew what was best for you.
Your arms feel back with a huff as you stuffed the thin sheet between the mattress, a heat coming over your body from the work. Without a clue the prince himself stood at his doorway and watched you quietly. The beauty your face had even with sweat and frustration or how focused you looked when you had a task to do. But when then you had the most beautiful smile he had ever seen when he passed you in the hallways or you were in his room working.
He had asked for you and gave the reasoning that only you did it right and however that may be true, the reason was because he liked to keep a close eye on you. He learned your schedule so he knew where you would be at all times and who’s room you would do. Sometimes even stalking you as you walked from place to place, he couldn’t get the image of you out of his mind.
His foot shifted when he flipped his weight from the other and the wooden planks creeks underneath him and made you spin around. His mind had been just looking at you and not taking in anything else, even when you stared at him. “My prince.” You shouted and bowed your head and knees. Only when your lovely voice called out to him then he realized he had been caught. How he wished to hold you close and make you smile, only to be focusing on him.
“Forgive me for startling you, that was not my intent. It’s just you are beautiful…” you took a deep breath and couldn’t comprehend the words he had spoken. You gripped onto your dress and looked down at the floor and tried to hide your embarrassment. “That was not what I meant to say.” He groaned and rubbed his forehead.
“No need to apologize, you may say whatever you like. You are the prince.” He hummed and shifted his legs once again to swing back and forth awkwardly. His eyes found yours and they were more beautiful when you looked in them, his almost innocent eyes. Lucerys smiled shyly at you with his cute cheeks puffing out and it made your stomach fill with bugs.
“I shall take my leave then.” he turned slightly, taking one last look at you before walking out the door. As soon as he walked out the door your brain grasped on what just happened, your cheeks flushed with heat and a small giggle left your lips. The prince had called you beautiful and seemed so..Shy. The way his cheeks turned red with embarrassment, it made you fall for him even harder.
Meanwhile lucaerys was panicking in his mind at the way you had spoke to him, the way your eyes had looked at him, your smile. He had already gotten the other servants fired so he could have you. But he wanted more- He needed more of you. Maybe he’ll join you when you clean again and get to know you, or talk to you so you can know him.
His darling beauty was his and her station did not change a thing.

Tumblr media
Ridiculous.
"I only have eyes for you," You pant out of breath staring at his face. Seating on his lap, bouncing hard on his dick.
"can't you see?" With a gasp, you grip onto his shoulders closer to your body. Jungkook's juicy thighs are all spread on the bed and he's not even touching you. Hands on each side, he's slighly pouty and there's a clearly hostile glare that's mixed with pleasure. He's trying not to react at how well your pussy swallows him but the more you bounce and kiss on his sweaty neck, the harder it gets.
Muscles flex.
You take his head closer to your chest and bury his face between your breasts, swinging your hips back and forth on him, "look at me baby." And Jungkook does obey.
his hooded, doe glistening eyes stare at you from belowㅡchin touching your skin. he's still sulking but his eyes gaze at you as if he was asking for more. Perhaps him wanting you to show him the real deal, to show him how solid your words truely are. To prove him that you'll forever look at him and him only and that you'll never leave him for another man. ㅡ while Jungkook was very confident of himself and your relationship, he still had his little jealousy times.. yeah, he was the jealous type but that didn't bother you as you liked that of him. It makes you feel safe and protected as he wasn't the toxic jealous type of boyfriend either. Just the right amount but he could still get possessive sometimes.
when looking up at you, he seemed pretty needy and cute. You wanted to plaster a bunch of kisses all over his face.
"did you heard me?" you ask him softly in contrast of how deep your thrusts were. He let's out a pleased hum confirming your answer but you needed to hear a clearer response from his pretty pink lips.
"Answer me," giving a peck to his forehead, the tone of your voice is rather much tender. You swear you get to catch his eyes twinkle for a second before he buries down his face back to your chest, placing a quick kiss.
he hiss, "I heard you," this time touching your body. Hands all over your waist, he guides your body waves deeper on him and there's a line of your arousal that connects to his pelvis everytime you move out of him. The both of you catching that little detail made the whole room suddenly feel like the hottest and that makes him fix his eyes back at you.
"I just want you all for myself," he almost mumbles, voice deep.
Clinched arms wrapping around your body, he presses you tigher agaisnt him. "You should be only mine." His strong hug making you stock-still but soon enough you notice that's his plan all along because of the way his hips start marking a rather fast speed.
"babe-" you can't help but arch your back.
fuck.
he feels so good right now and his hot breath hitting your sweaty skin isn't helping.
"Hm?" He pauses. "So you just go and help everyone?" Dick shoving a fast dagger into your heart, his breathing cuts in between each move.
You're a moaning, whimpering mess.
Spank!
"Fuck. Pussy so good and you can't even talk to me." he groans. "how dare you answer like that when you have me?"
Spank!
"ffuck I'm going crazy. I'll never do that to you."
Spank!
"Only I can fuck you like this;"
Spank!
"Only I can see you like this,"
Spank!
"...touch you like this,"
Spank!
"And treat you like this."
"eumngㅡfuck! yeah baby.." you yelp back, very much lost in pleasure.
"Only me and no one else, understood?"
"yes baby only you.. eughㅡfucking me so goodㅡfucking good!" You sob, eyes watery.
Being so horny, he kept on thrusting hard into you, "fucking great.."
Indeed, he was very hot when he was jealous.

2017
"nee-san, have you ever thought about the name yet?" yuuki asked one day after they went to the hospital for y/n's time scanning for the newfounded baby. y/n hummed to herself. "hikari for a girl, yuta for a boy." y/n replied, smiled to herself. "hikari because she will be the light of my life, yuta for him to be courageous in this world." y/n explained, this time yuuki smiled to herself. "that's a very thoughtful meaning." yuuki commented making her older sister giggled. rubbing her stomach gently, y/n is sure that she couldn't wait to meet her baby soon enough.
"mama.." y/n flinched but still can't open her eyes yet. "mama.." this time y/n opened her eyes slowly, and saw a black, fluffy haired boy with dark pair of eyes that resembles mikey the most with her nose and mouth. fully aware who the boy is, y/n sat up from her lying and the boy, yuta, smiled. "mama, let's go." yuta held out his small hand, y/n reached out at her son's hand. then she saw someone that she missed the most. "let's go, y/n." it was mikey. "mikey?" y/n mumbled to herself and she saw the smile that she missed the most. mikey held out his arms making y/n run into it and hug him tightly, to show how much she misses him. y/n sobbed into mikey's chest, making mikey placed his right hand on the back of y/n's head. "i miss you too y/n, my love." mikey said. "papa, mama, let's go now. heaven's waiting for us!" yuta exclaimed, making both his parents chuckled at the small child. y/n hummed, grabbing yuta's hand into hers same goes with mikey doing the same to yuta as they are walking their way to the light, hand in hand, swinging back and forth.
2005
tonight's meeting is about the new third division captain as pah was put into juvie for attempted murder. and takemichi was joining in as mikey's guest, since he is mikey's friend afterall. hinata, emma and y/n were sat at a nearby hut at the shrine. from distance, y/n discovered that mikey is a leader of a group of deliquents called tokyo manji gang, or toman for short.
she admired at how cool and charming mikey looked. and she could feel heat on her cheeks. "eh y/n-chan, are you feeling hot?" emma pointed out. "it is a bit warm tonight." emma continued as she pulled out hand-fan from her purse. "here, it should cool you off a bit." y/n took the fan and started to fan herself out. "thanks emma-chan." y/n thanked and looked away, not wanting people to know her new refound crush.
"third division captain, come step forward!" mikey shouted and takemichi felt like mikey was directing towards him. 'eh? is mikey-kun calling out for me?' he thought to himself. there were mummurs around asking who does mikey pointed out to until a dark shadow walked past a crowd of guys towards the front. "that's the new third division captain?" a guy asked. "which one, the small one or the big one?" another guy asked. the mumblings between each guys were vocally sounded until the guy that was pointed as the new third division captain took a seat in front of mikey. takemichi, shocked when he saw the face. a familiar face, but when? 'who is he?' takemichi thought to himself.
"the hell his problem?"
"is he for real?"
"he just sat himself with his back to our leader!"
emma scoffed at the scene. hinata and y/n looked at emma. "in gang world, it is consider as rude to show your back to the leader." emma explained. "wow emma-chan, you know everything about the gang world aren't you?" y/n asked and emma just smiled. "my older brother used to be in a gang." emma told her. then the three of them were shocked at a sudden shouting.
"listen up morons! this man sitting behind me is the new third division captain," a bulky guy shouted. "kisaki tetta!" the bulky guy continued and hinata shocked at learning the name. "kisaki tetta?" hinata asked and she took a good look at the meeting. emma and y/n looked at hinata confused. "hina-chan, you know him?" y/n asked and hinata nodded her head yes. "we went to the same cram school together." hinata explained. "no wonder." emma said and they continued in watching the meeting.
"our gang is going to challenge up valhalla." mikey announced. "valhalla is a rising power and to beat them, we need to be powerful too!" mikey continued which making the rest of the gang members cheered up, chanting 'toman, toman, toman'. "this concludes tonight's meeting." mikey dismissed everyone and walked back towards where the three girls sat at, making y/n becoming shy.
before mikey could say anything, a shout for mikey was called. "mikey!" it was a dark long haired guy. mikey turned his head sideway. "why are you even here baji?" mikey asked, his mood for a small talk with a girl he found interested was gone. "you have caused infightings the gang and have been banned from our gatherings." mikey continued. the guy called baji smirked, giving an eerie feeling. like something bad would happen soon. "since i ruined your precious gathering, are you going to throw me out this time?" baji asked, making everyone shocked. 'what is he talking about?' thought takemichi. "i'm leaving to join valhalla." baji announced, and the shock was getting more shocking than ever. "baji!" mikey shouted and baji started to leave the place. "you don't need a trouble maker like me right mikey? so i quit, the first division captain, will be toman's enemy. " and by that way, baji left.
takemichi was dumbfounded by this surprise and he heard a snicker from his back. "toman's falling apart."
after the gathering, takemichi, hinata and y/n walked their way home as hinata and y/n lived in the same apartment complex. y/n left the couple first home, leaving the couple hanging out at the park nearby. "takemichi, what are you thinking about?" hinata asked as she swung herself slowly. takemichi looked up at the sky, and sighed. "mikey-kun, asked a favour from me." takemichi replied, making hinata wondered what the favour was about. "he asked for me to get baji-kun back to toman." takemichi explained. looking at hinata. 'even see you right in front of me, it kills me to know that you're dead in the future.' takemichi thought to himself. hinata smiled sweetly at takemichi, making takemichi's heart skipped a beat. "i wish you good luck, takemichi-kun." hinata said and by that, it was time to go home.
by the time takemichi about to left the premise, he bumped into a boy being bullied. "hey!" takemichi yelled. the bullies looked at takemichi's way. "so you think it is nice to bully a kid that isn't your size huh?" takemichi asked as he saw a glass bottle. he grabbed it and smashed it to make it looked like a weapon. the bullies looked afraid by takemichi's action and scattered away, leaving the boy alone. "huh, what a mess." takemichi commented and as he about to leave, he was halted by the boy. "uh, i think you should throw it away before it hurts other people." the boy advised and by that, takemichi collected the glass shards.
"thank you for saving me back there." the boy said as he handed out a can of a drink, it was an orange soda. "what's your name?" takemichi asked as he received the soda and opened it to drink. "tachibana naoto." the boy replied, causing takemichi spurted out his drink. "tachibana, you're hinata's sister?" naota looked at takemichi weirdly. "yea, i am." naoto replied as the two looked up at the sky. "take good care of your sister, because 12 years from now, your sister will die. with my cousin, and her baby." takemichi said, making naoto looked at him weirdly. "so take care of her okay?" takemichi said once again, making naoto nodded his head. takemichi held out his hand, naoto reached out and they shook hands.
darkness appeared.
2017
"takemichi-kun!" it was yuuki. once takemichi opened his eyes clearly, yuuki was sitting next to him. "where.." "you had an accident after the funeral, you have been hospitalized for two days now." yuuki explained, making takemichi looked at his arm. there was an iv drip. "may i have a word with him?" a man's voice asked as yuuki turned around. "takemichi-kun, this man saved your life at the train station." yuuki explained. 'i'm not dead?' takemichi thought to himself and looked up. "huh?" takemichi dumbfounded. "i'm tachibana naoto." naoto introduced himself. "i'll leave you two alone." yuuki said and left the room.
once yuuki left the room, the atmosphere in the room changed. "takemichi-kun, 12 years ago, you told me about my sister will die and that i need to save her-" "so is she-" takemichi saw naoto shooked his head no. "you changed the future takemichi-kun, even though your cousin didn't make it but her baby did." takemichi shocked. 'yuta-chan?' takemichi though to himself. "you can time-leap takemichi-kun. therefore, i am here to purpose you a teamwork."
'yuta-chan, survived?'
2005
right before takemichi went down to the ground floor, takemichi went to a floor he knew where y/n lived. "huh, takemichi?" y/n opened the door. takemichi reminded of how y/n was in the present timeline.
"it was manjiro, wasn't it?"
"tokyo manji gang, it was him who killed hina-chan!"
"oi bakamichi, what's gotten into you?" y/n asked, waving her hand in front of takemichi's face. "you have been like this since earlier this day. i'm getting an eerie feelings from you." y/n explained, making an annoyed face at him. "n-nothing, just, i want to ask you a question." takemichi said as y/n raised her eyebrow. "do you really like mikey-kun?" takemichi asked as y/n's face redden up and looked behind her. yuuki was focused on doing her homework at the dining table. y/n looked at takemichi angrily and went out of house with closing the door. "bakamichi, you!" y/n scolded as the red on her face didn't fade off.
y/n looked away at the sky, admiring the stars that appeared that night. "this is my first crush." y/n said silently, making takemichi looked at her. "so i didn't know what to expect." y/n continued. "i really like him, even though i don't know him." y/n told him, making takemichi admiring her, smiling.
"bakamichi, mikey! look over here!" y/n called out, pulling out her digital camera to take a picture of the two building sand castle. "who are you calling stupid!" takemichi shouted, making mikey giggled at the two family members. y/n pulling her tongue out at takemichi's way while hinata giggled from their spread-out mat. takemichi stood up making y/n stood up as well. once y/n noticed takemichi's legs started moving, y/n sprinted first making takemichi chased after her. "oi, that's my girl!" mikey shouted and stood up as well to start chasing after the two cousins.
"why don't you confess to him directly?" takemichi asked her, making his cousin stunned. 'that's right, before this i was the one they relied on to express their feelings. if they talked to each other in the first place, maybe their future could change!' takemichi thought to himself. then he felt a small punch on his right shoulder. "don't be stupid bakamichi." y/n said shyly, looking down at her feet. "there's no way a guy like him would like someone like me." y/n admitted. making takemichi chuckled. "this is so not you, y/n." takemichi said, making y/n looking at him angrily as she growled at him.
2017
few days after takemichi was admitted into hospital, he was finally can be discharged. entering neonatal-intensive care unit, takemichi saw yuuki holding a bundle of a baby. yuuki looked up and saw takemichi behind the door. yuuki smiled and waved her hand to signal him in. takemichi entered the unit and slowly walked towards yuuki, and yuta.
"yuta, this is your uncle takemichi. as your mama used to call him, bakamichi." yuuki said to the small baby, causing takemichi frowned at the name. "why would you say that to him, later on he will call me that." takemichi whined making yuuki chuckled.
the small baby who felt his sleep was interupted, also whined at the noise. "it's feeding time for you huh?" yuuki announced as she stood up. same goes with takemichi. "you know you are allow to visit yuta-kun anytime you want." yuuki said and takemixhi nodded his head yes. "thank you, yuuki-chan." takemichi thanked.
as takemichi walked out of the hospital, he saw naoto waiting by his car. "naoto?" takemichi asked and naoto just eyed him.
-
"time leap, i have a theory of this power of yours." naoto stated as he walked back and forth in front of takemichi. takemichi just watched him doing so. "so you have time leaped from 12 years this date to today, which means you can time-travel in 12 years on the same day." naoto explained. 'naoto's losing it.' takemichi said to himself.
'he's gone totally bonkers!'
it has been two days since takemichi went with naoto to his place to discover the theory of time travel and how it can effect the future like how takemichi have changed baby yuta's life where he was supposed to die alongside y/n but he was the only survivor. takemichi discovered that the reason behind y/n's death this time was because she was with hinata and suddenly a truck hit them causing the car that hinata drove went sideway and crashed onto a tree which fell onto them. luckily yuta survived in the midst of this thus y/n was admitted into emergency labour. and naoto believed that this was a plan set up by tokyo manji gang.
'mikey-kun, your son. don't you want to see him?'
naoto worked as a detective in police department which is now why he explained the details of tokyo manji gang. "we should do what we can right now that you can travel back 12 years from now and change the future, which we can save my sister and your cousin." naoto explained. "but how do i go back to the past?" takemichi asked and naoto turned his back to look at him. "shaking hand with me is the trigger since both you and i have the same mission, which is to save our beloved ones." naoto informed and takemichi was taken aback. 'i can change the future, this time i will make sure everyone got their happy ending.' takemichi swore to himself.
naoto held out his hand. "good luck, takemichi-kun." naoto said and takemichi reached for naoto's hand as he nodded his head.
2005
when takemichi opened his eyes, he was in his classroom.
"takemitchy, you're an official member of toman. welcome aboard." mikey said as he smiled.
"bring baji back from valhalla." mikey requested as he looked down at the floor of the shrine premise. "if you fail, i'll kill you." mikey warned.
takemichi sighed as he placed his head on the table. "takemichi." takemichi raised up his head to see his friends coming into his class. "we heard that you're officially in toman now." akkun said and takemichi just laughed it lightly. "t-that's right, i became a member of toman just that way." takemichi told them, making some of them whined. "really? how'd it happened?" akkun asked and takemichi just taken aback, remembering what naoti informed him.
"one of the members, atsushi sendo, was the one who caused the accident and eventually died due to the collision."
takemichi looked sideway and whined silently, 'i can't look at him directly!' "wish we could join too." yamagishi whined to takemichi. "'crybaby' takemichi is now in toman." takuya said. takemichi sighed, making them to shut up. "it's not that cool as you heard them." takemichi told them, as he whined up and told them about his mission to get baji back into toman per request by mikey.
"so mikey's gonna kill you if you didn't get the ex-first division captain back into toman?" akkun asked, making takemichi whined. "how am i suppose to get him back when i don't even know what's inside toman." takemichi sighed as yamagishi cleared his throat for attention. "allow me." yamagishi said as he went to the writting board and picked up a chalk, writing 'tokyo manji gang' on it. "or toman for short." yamagishi started as he wrote mikey's name and draken's name. "so mikey is the leader of toman and draken as his vice-leader. there are five divisions with 20 men in each division." yamagishi continued. "with total of 100 men altogether, it was the largest biker gang ever. but with now from what i heard, a new gang called 'valhalla', has a total men of 300, surpassing toman itself with 150 men of 50 men from the new third division." yamagishi told them and takemichi remembered from that night of kisaki's statement.
"toman's falling apart."
'that kisaki guy is up to no good, he must be the trigger of the bad things in future.' takemichi thought to himself. 'i need to bring baji-kun back asap, but how? maybe i need to meet him in person instead.' takemichi told himself.
'but how?'
"huh?" a voice heard as the door was slided open to reveal unfamiliar face. "is school over already?" he asked, looking around the class. "who the hell are you? you don't look familiar here." makoto said as he stood up from his seat. the guy just chuckled. "i'm your senpai here." the guy told them. all of them shocked. the guy just smiled. "anyway, you know who hanagaki takemichi is?" the guy asked, tilted his head to the left. yamagishi gasped as he pulled makoto, making makoto confused by yamagishi's action. "t-takemichi, this is, valhalla's number three, hanemiya kazutora!" yamagishi told takemichi directly as kazutora heard takemichi's name, approaching takemichi with open arms. kazutora wrapped his arms around takemichi which makes takemichi confused with the sudden action.
"yaaay, i'm so happy that there's a toman member in this school below me!" kazutora said and then grabbed takemichi's hand. "come, let's go to valhalla's hideout!" kazutora told him and pulled takemichi out of the classroom to the said valhalla's hideout.
'valhalla's hideout, maybe i can meet baji-kun there!' thought takemichi.

Gilbert: "What are you doing here?"
Tough Guy: "Ah, I’m sure this has nothing to do with you, but stay back, you idiot!"
Gilbert: "What? It's creepy to stare at me."
Gilbert: "Can I crush your eyes?"
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
I thought I was being careful at the time, but I let out murderous intent.
The feeling of the baby rabbit trembling in my arms is still fresh in my mind.
Gilbert: "Emma, please."
Emma: "Wow, sparkles!"
Emma's little hands hold the suncatcher she just bought.
It was made from a collection of colorful gemstones, which scattered light around it through the sunlight.
Emma: "Are you sure?"
Gilbert: "Of course. I'm happy if the little rabbit is happy too.''
Emma: "Thank you. I will make it my treasure!"
Emma was so pleased with the "sparkles" that she wouldn't take her eyes off them.

Gilbert: "Emma, there's a delicious sweet shop over there."
Emma: "Sweets!"
Gilbert: "Do you want some?"
Emma: "I want to eat!"
Gilbert: "Let's go, then."
I hold Emma's hand, still distracted by the suncatcher, and start walking away.
As I was about to head to the candy shop I wanted to visit, I felt a small resistance.
I stopped my steps and followed the gaze of those round eyes.
Before I knew it, she was staring at a small park in a corner of the city.
In a park that has only recently been developed using national funds,
Children about the same age as Emma are now playing happily.
(Is she… tempted to get in there?)
If it is an adult Emma, I would not let her get involved with people as much as possible because of jealousy, but I have no intention of tying her up as a child.
Perhaps it was because I had very different feelings about (little) Emma than I did about the adult Emma, but I was willing to be forgiving now.
Gilbert: "Go ahead."
Emma huffs as I let go of her hand.   //   When I let go of her hand, Emma gasped.
Emma: "What about Gil?"
Gilbert: "I'll wait here for you."
Emma: "Are you just waiting?"
Gilbert: "Then I'll watch the little rabbit play all day long."
Gilbert: "If you look like you’re having fun, I’m having fun too."
Emma: "…"
Emma's gaze keeps going back and forth between me and the park.
After making a pretense of hesitation, a small hand grasped my cold fingers.
Emma: "I knew it."   //   "As I thought."
Gilbert: "Why?"
Emma: "Because I wanted to be with Gil."
Gilbert: "It's written all over your face that you want to play with those kids."
Emma: "That's not true!"
Gilbert: "I know a liar when I see one."
Emma: "Then I'll play with Gil!"
Emma puffs out her cheeks and starts walking, pulling me by the hand.
The destination seemed to be in the park, and when I stopped in front of a swing, she asked me to sit down with her gaze.
Gilbert: "Maybe you'd have more fun playing with the other kids than me?"
Emma: "It's much more fun with Gil!"
(Did you care about me?)
(No, no matter how Emma is, she's still a child, so I can't believe that.)
When I give up and sit on the swing, Emma jumps onto my lap.
(... I can't help it.)
When I swung Emma slowly so she wouldn't fall, her innocent face blossomed. **
Emma: "Gil, more, more!"
Gilbert: "Emma has courage, doesn’t she?"
I kick the ground, thinking about my physical strength and trying to live up to expectations because I have been hoped for.   //   Since I was expected to, I tried to live up to her expectations and kicked the ground while thinking about my physical strength.
Although Emma was innocently enjoying herself, there was something smoldering in her chest.
══════════════════
Emma: "Sparkle... sparkle..."
Back at the Imperial Castle, Emma never gets tired of looking at the suncatchers.
I could even hear what sounded like singing and could tell what kind of mood she was in.
Gilbert: "Do you like it that much?"
When I sat down a little further away and asked, Emma turned around quickly.
Emma: "Yeah! It's so beautiful."
Emma: "And you know what, those sparkles... they're just like Gil's eyes!"
A small finger indicated a red gemstone that stood out among the suncatchers made of multiple gems.
(Speaking of...)
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
Emma: "But you know what sparkles the most?"
Gilbert: "Oh, isn't that a gem?"
Emma: "Nope!"
Emma: "Gil's red eye is the most sparkling and beautiful."
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
I chuckle at the memory.
Gilbert: "I wonder if my eye sparkles that much."
Emma: "Yeah, it sparkles. But you know..."
Emma: "Sometimes the sparkle just disappears."
Gilbert: "Disappear?"
Emma nods, releases her hand from the suncatcher, and runs over on her little feet.
And then she tugged at my clothes and tilted my face as if listening to a secret conversation.
Emma: "You know, you know."
Emma: "When Gil isn't sparkling, he looks lonely."
little Emma is talking about Gil's eye here.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "…"
(... It's my first time hearing that.)
(Yeah, but... maybe it's the difference between keeping your eyes down or not.)
Adults and children alike always look up when Emma is around.
I can't take my eyes off Emma, and when the sunlight hits her, her eyes may seem to sparkle.
(But I don't really pay much attention to the others.)
Of course, it's not like I haven't seen it at all, but I'm not interested.
I've never been conscious of it, but I seem to spend more time with my eyes downcast.
(Emma, as a child, is really watching closely.)
As I admire her, Emma raises her hands up.
When I picked her up, she looked like she was in a "hold me" pose, but when I picked her up, her little hands grabbed the fluff (of the cape) firmly—
Emma: "See, it's still sparkling."
Emma: "Sparkling like jewels!"
Her innocent eyes peered into my face, and my cheeks unconsciously relaxed.
Gilbert: "... I see."
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "Maybe the reason you didn't go to the other kids at the park is because I'm not sparkling anymore?"
Emma: "Yes. When Gil isn't sparkling, things get a little tight here.''
Emma indicated the chest by saying, 'here.'
(I didn't mean to restrict you, though.)
It is no different for child Emma and adult Emma to react to loneliness that has come out unconsciously.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "I'm sorry."
Emma: "…?"
Gilbert: "Hehe, it’s okay if you don’t understand."
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "In return, gentle one, I'll tell you big brother's secret."   //   "In exchange, I will tell you big brother's secret, who is kind to you."
Emma's eyes light up in response to the word "secret."
(I think you're more sparkly than I am.)
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "When big brother is sparkling, that's when he thinks, "I love you, little rabbit.""
Emma: "!"
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "But don't tell anyone, because it's embarrassing."
Emma: "All right!"
Emma clings happily with a big smile on her face.
(You probably knew intuitively that I was a scary person in the back alley...)
Tumblr media
(You still feel attached to me.)
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "You're so cute… Please love me forever."   //   "You're so cute… You'll always love me."
Emma: "Yes! Gil, you'll always, always love me, too."
Gilbert: "Hmm, of course."
(I know my "likes" are not always good for you, but...)
That is not something I should say to the little baby rabbit.

Gilbert: "Don't forget your promise to big brother, okay?"

How to Rehabilitate a Jock Pt 17
Part One Link to ao3 Part 16
A speedy update? Couldn't be me lmao
Step Seventeen: Tell a Story
The party really wasn’t like any of the ragers he used to throw, but in Steve’s opinion that made it a thousand times better. 
From his vantage point on the arm of the couch, Steve could see everything, and all looked to be going well. All of the parents had quickly clustered together around the big dining room table, smoking and playing cards as they reminisced about the good old days and enjoyed the wine Steve had broken out of the cellar. Mike and Lucas were sprawled out across the floor, their books in piles around them as they designed new characters and argued about the best way to win against dragons, while Nancy and Jonathan had curled up together on the loveseat by the window, sharing a cup of cocoa and quietly whispering about god knows what. 
It all seemed peaceful. 
So naturally Steve was sitting next to the most chaotic conversation he had ever heard. 
“In terms of controlling the fight and better initiative, it’s the halberd. Hands down,” Frank declared. He was putting emphasis on every single word, as if doing so would somehow sway the three preteens throwing him impressively dry looks. 
“That’s assuming you have the speed and dexterity necessary to gain that advantage,” Dustin sighed, shaking his head and tutting. “The greatsword is not only faster, but it is shorter, which makes the swing that much more versatile.”
Mike and Lucas sagely nodded along from their spot on the floor next to Dustin. the calmness of the action only riling Frank up even more.
“Reach is speed on its own!” He snapped, tossing his hands in the air, turning to the others for help. Steve bit down the laugh that was attempting to escape, doing his best to appear supportive, and Eddie was already reaching over to give his friend the conciliatory pat on the shoulder. 
Steve wasn’t exactly positive how the debate had started, but it had to have been at least fifteen minutes of furious back and forth between the two. It was pretty entertaining to watch, made even better by the quiet comments Eddie would whisper up to Steve when he was sure no one else was listening. 
“Careful there Frank,” Jeff called from the other side of the room, not looking up from Will’s sketchbook as he did, “you sound like you’re losing to a twelve year old.”
“I am not losing,” Frank ground out. 
“I’m not twelve!” Dustin protested.
“Of course you aren’t losing, Frankie,” Eddie interjected, his tone practically dripping with false kindness. He accompanied the words with a brief pat to the top of Frank’s head. 
“Dustin just isn’t opening his mind to the possibilities that your elder brain has already thought through,” Steve added on, his stomach doing a weird flip-flop when Eddie turned to look up at him with a little gremlin smile. Teasing friends was different when it really was just teasing, and Steve couldn’t resist the urge to jump in and knock at Frank a little for getting so into a debate with the kids. 
“Okay just because you play now doesn’t make you an expert, Steve,” Mike added on, never one to miss a chance to try and knock Steve down a peg. Steve, very maturely, rolled his eyes and chose not to reply. 
“How about it, Sweetheart?” Eddie asked, looking up at Steve where he was sitting perched on the arm of the couch, “halberd or Greatsword?”
“Steve, if you don’t choose the sword, I will feel personally betrayed,” Dustin spat out before Steve could even open his mouth. It was accompanied by a murderous looking glower, and Steve knew trouble was starting to brew on the horizon. 
“Eh, I think Baby might have a problem if I start using a different weapon,” He said, staying neutral and dragging the boys into a different conversation before feelings started to actually get hurt. 
“Baby?”
Fuck. 
Steve’s whole body stiffened up, and he glanced quickly at Eddie before turning away, mind racing to come up with an explanation. How the hell was he supposed to casually bring up the bat studded with nails that was sitting in the trunk of his BMW?
“Okay, but we’re talking in game, not real life!” Lucas objected, keeping the conversation flowing and unintentionally bypassing Eddie’s question. 
“Baby would be more effective than a halberd though,” Dustin pointed out, and Mike hummed in disagreement, flipping the pages of the manual in front of him as he looked for a counter argument.
“So who’s Baby?” Eddie asked quietly as they continued the debate, leaning back towards Steve so only he could hear the words. He was looking up at Steve with those big doe eyes, completely at peace with a soft smile and lax shoulders. He was the picture of calmness, and Steve wouldn’t ruin that with the Upside Down, not even in the most roundabout way. 
“I’m gonna get a refill,” Steve whispered to him instead, reaching down to quickly run his fingers through Eddie’s curls impulsively before standing up and stretching. He felt the hem of his maroon sweater ride up over his hips, and the boys groaned as the bottom half of Steve’s stomach came into view. “Do you want anything, Eds?” 
“Um no, ‘m okay,” Eddie said, his voice uncharacteristically small. Steve relaxed from his stretch, giving Eddie a quick once over. He looked the same as before, save for a slight color on his cheeks and averted downward facing eyes. 
Weird. 
Something to check on. 
But later. First Steve had to take a lap. 
“Dustin, don’t make Frank blow a gasket,” Steve ordered as he passed by, pushing the kids hat down over his eyes. Dustin growled at him and waved his arms blindly in an attempt to smack Steve away, but Steve easily dodged it, sliding over to the edge of the living room and down the stairs to the wine cellar. 
“Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid,” Steve muttered to himself as he picked two bottles at random. How could he have said something like that? He wasn’t even drunk! It had just slipped out, but that didn’t make it okay. Sure, the very existence of Baby wasn’t covered by the NDA’s, but just knowing about her would be enough to make Eddie curious, and curiosity led to more questions, which lead to more answers, which lead to more danger. 
Steve’s stomach flipped over on itself, and he leaned back against the cool stone wall of the cellar, worrying his lip as he tried to take a deep breath. 
There wasn’t any danger. Not anymore. It was just a party, and it was just one little sentence. Eddie would forget about it by the time he walked back up the stairs. He was working himself up over nothing. 
Or everything. 
‘Or’ might just be the scariest word in the world, Steve thought to himself as he climbed up the stairs feeling about ten thousand pounds heavier. He trudged over to the kitchen and quickly opened both bottles, leaving one to air out as he carried the other over to the dining room table, silently listening to the adults as they gossiped. 
“It’s such an insane story,” Sue Sinclair was saying in a quiet breathy voice as Steve walked in, barely even noticing as he started refilling her glass, “it’s hard to believe.” 
“It was harder to live through,” Hopper replied, extremely somber as he gravely shook his head.
Steve bit the inside of his cheek to keep from making a noise and giving up the act. He looked up just a bit to make eye contact with Joyce, who was also clearly hiding a smile behind her hand. 
“Maybe we should pause this conversation?” Karen asked lightly, politely jutting her chin out towards Steve who continued to pour without comment. 
“Steve knows,” Hopper quickly smoothed over. 
“He babysits Jane with the others,” Joyce added on, giving Steve a secretive look as she continued, “such a big help with acclimating her.”
All eyes were on him now, and Steve played his part perfectly. He poured the last of the bottle into Hopper’s glass and stepped back with a sigh. 
“She’s a great kid. Amazing even, after everything she’s been through,” Steve said, his voice pitched to the ultimate tone of caring worry. 
This seemed to seal the deal for the rest of the adults, and they fell one by one. Hook, line, and sinker. The women were twittering on about how sad the whole story was, and the men were shaking their heads and muttering to Hopper about how drugs were going to ruin the nation. 
Everything was going to plan. 
Steve couldn’t help the little burst of pride he felt watching all of the parents gossiping like hens. He was the one to come up with El’s cover story, and it couldn’t have been going better. 
El might not be allowed to go to school until next year, but Steve didn’t see a point in keeping her locked up in the cabin until then like Hopper wanted. The government knew she was alive now, and she had all her paperwork. Besides, having her drop out of the blue sky into one of the most unforgiving social settings on the planet was a complete recipe for disaster. 
This party had been the perfect test run for the story they were going to use to explain her sudden appearance, and it had passed with flying colors. But Steve had known it would work, never had any doubt despite everyone else’s concerns. 
He knew because he knew this town like the back of his hand. If you gave them a good enough story, something juicy and wild but with enough reality that it would stick, then they would buy it. Not only would they buy it, but they would sell it to everyone else on the block too. Now that Sue Sinclair, Claudia Henderson, and Karen Wheeler had the ‘truth’, El would fly into Hawkins High with only minimal odd looks and the occasional jerky kid to deal with. 
And what was the best cover story for a girl like El? 
“I just can’t believe that there was a suicide cult right here in Indiana,” Chuck Sinclair commented, sitting back in his seat. “How did no one know about it?”
“There was no way to leave without being killed. Anyone who would have told someone was killed. Brenner, the one in charge, was convinced he could create dimensions to other worlds and give children superpowers with LSD, if you can believe it,” Joyce replied, laying on the shock and surprise a little thick in Steve’s opinion. Still, whatever got the rest of them on board.  
“Ridiculous,” Ted Wheeler muttered, sounding absolutely disgusted. 
“We’re just lucky we found Will and Jane when we did. We were too late for the others,” Hopper paused to take a long slow sip of his drink, really selling the story. He even lowered his voice, causing them all to lean in, “The feds want to keep it real hush hush, and we were so afraid for the kids that we just went along with that bullshit water contamination story. But I mean, c’mon. Water contamination? Those people disappeared.” 
A round of mutters among the group, and then Karen Wheeler spoke up. 
“But Barbara Holland using drugs? I knew Barb her entire life. She always had such a good head on her shoulders,” She said, grief coating every word. Steve dragged a sharp breath in, holding the bottle close to his chest and forcing himself to stay still and silent as Hopper and Joyce did their best to explain. 
This was the part that sucked. To make the story work, really work, it had to involve everyone. Benny, Barb, Will, even the two hunters. All of them had to be explained, or the story fell apart. It felt dishonest to make Barb a part of it all, but El was still here, and Steve still had a chance to help her. 
For El. It was all for El. 
“That’s how the commies get you,” Ted remarked to Karen the second Hop was done speaking. “We’re just lucky she didn’t bring Nancy into it.” 
Steve bit his tongue to keep from lashing out. This wasn’t about him or his guilt. It was about El. 
“At least you saved that precious little girl,” Claudia breathed, hand still over her heart as her eyes glistened with tears. “It all must have been so scary for her. Does she know… you know… about her mother?”
“She does, but she doesn’t like to talk about it,” Hopper laid both hands out on the table 
“Listen, we really shouldn’t have said anything to you all.”
This was it. This was the moment that would tell them what was going to happen from here on out. Steve held his breath
“Our lips are sealed, Jim,” Chuck said instantly, the rest of the group nodding along. “Last thing any of us would want to do is put your daughter or Joyce’s son in danger. Whether it’s the government or some freaky cult stragglers.” 
There it was. 
In a small town like Hawkins, lips were always sealed. People said they wouldn’t say a word, they promised to keep a secret, but Steve had no doubt that by the end of the week the entire town would be abuzz with the story. The best part was, there was no one that would end up hurt. Hopper looked like a hero, Joyce went from local crazy woman to single mother who did everything to protect her baby, and El was just a poor child who was rescued from an insane terrible man. 
It was the truth, just… shifted ever so slightly. No lies involved. Not really. Just a perspective on it. 
The mood and the topic began to move, and Steve moved with it. He went to escape out the side door back to the living room, but as he went past her Joyce reached out, taking his wrist in her small hand and squeezing it once. It was a tiny display of affection, barely anything, but it stopped Steve in his tracks, making his heart do strange weird things that left his chest aching. 
Damn. 
“Are you alright?” Joyce murmured to him below the sound of the conversation. 
“Yeah?” Steve replied, unspoken question sitting between them as Joyce continued to hold onto his wrist. 
“You looked upset when you came in,” She observed. That was the best and worst part of Joyce, she never let anything drop. It reminded Steve a lot of Nancy actually, both of them so determined to get to the bottom of everything, even when it was best to just leave it alone. 
Of course it had to be Joyce. 
“‘I’m okay,” Steve said, trying for a thin little smile. 
Joyce hummed, rubbing her thumb over Steve’s arm as she forced him to keep eye contact until the fake smile slipped from his face. 
“It’s not a big deal,” Steve said, a dark cloud coming over him as Joyce continued to hold on. It was the same thing as Nancy. Stifling, impossible to be around, a feeling of claustrophobia that would never fully go away. 
It wasn’t any of Joyce’s business. It wasn’t like she was his mother. 
“Well, if you need anything you can always come to me or Hop,” Joyce said after a too long silence, releasing Steve’s arm. “We’re here for you guys too, not just the kids.”
“You’re allowed to not be okay.”
Eddie. 
Since he had said those words, they had been permanently branded in the forefront of Steve’s mind. Every time he tried to forget them, they returned with a vengeance, hitting him directly in the soft spot right above his breastbone. 
It wasn’t like Steve didn’t know that. He knew that he was allowed to not be okay. He did. But it was silly for him not to be okay, because nothing had really happened to him. Will was the one who had ended up in the Upside Down. Nancy’s best friend had died. El had been fucking tortured for her entire life. 
In comparison Steve’s problems were so small it was laughable. 
So why was everyone trying so hard to tell him that they mattered? 
“Steve?” 
Steve had never been so happy to hear one of his kids. 
A hush fell over the adults as El popped her head around the corner, immediately coming over to Steve’s side and pressing close, trying to avoid the obvious stares coming from everyone else. They were looking at her with a mixture of pity and concern, but it was better than fear. 
“Hi Janey,” Steve said, playing with her curls and shooting her a warm grin, “you doin’ okay?”
El shrugged, burrowing impossibly further into Steve’s grip. 
“The others are being loud,” She said softly. Steve sighed, petting her hair again. He and Hop had talked about the possibility of this being too much for her, same as the Snowball. This party was mostly made up of her people, but even her people could be overwhelming. 
Luckily, Steve already had an idea in place. 
“Would you mind helping me with something?” Steve asked, already gently nudging El towards the doorway and into the kitchen. 
Making cookies was the perfect ‘cool down away from people so you don't have a meltdown and psychically destroy Steve's house’ activity. Steve had learned that El really enjoyed cooking, and although she couldn’t use her powers to get the flour down from the high shelf like she usually would if it was just them, she was still having fun. 
“Don’t listen to anyone who tells you oatmeal raisin cookies are bad,” Steve instructed, rolling out another ball of dough and placing it carefully on the cookie sheet. “They’re stupid and childish.”
“Mike hates oatmeal raisin,” El cheerfully replied, licking the spoon that Steve had handed to her when he was done mixing the batter. 
Now that it was just the two of them, she had relaxed. She was sitting on the counter next to where he was working, ever so slightly bobbing her head along to the music filtering in from the living room. Steve had relaxed along with her, all of the previous troubles of the night fading away, replaced by the smell of cinnamon sugar and the warmth of the oven heating up. 
“My point exactly. Mike hates everything great,” Steve countered, dabbing a bit of cookie batter onto the tip of El’s nose. She laughed softly, and stuck her tongue out, trying to reach the offending treat. 
“Mike likes me,” El shot back, continuing to try and touch her tongue to her nose. Steve watched her struggle for a second more before shaking his head and reaching around her to grab a paper towel. 
“Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day,” Steve whispered conspiratorially as he wiped her face clean. This started up another round of giggles, and Steve laughed along with her, his entire body feeling light for the first time all day. 
He loved each of his kids for different reasons- even Mike- but El was just so easy. The rest of them couldn't help the compulsive urge to be difficult little hell beasts. They were always trying to show off how smart they were, which usually meant disparaging Steve’s intelligence to some degree. Even Will couldn’t resist a few snarky comments when he thought Steve was being overprotective.
But El thought Steve was one of the smartest people in the world, and she was always telling him so. It was objectively untrue, but it was fun to get to show her how to do things without being afraid of being told he was doing them wrong. Even something as simple as baking cookies was an opportunity to give her a new happy experience, and getting to be a part of that was kind of magical. 
“How about this- we’ll tell Mike you made these and you’ll see just how quickly oatmeal raisin becomes his favorite cookie,” Steve offered. 
“Sounds like fun,” A familiar voice said from the doorway, making Steve’s heart skip a beat. 
Steve turned around and gave Eddie a pleased grin, waving him in and turning around to finish up with the dough.
“Hey Eds,” Steve said as Eddie leaned into his space and snagged a bite. Eddie hummed appreciatively, going for another taste but Steve smacked his hand with his spoon before he could.
“You’ll get sick eating that,” Steve pointed out. 
“So mean,” Eddie said with a fake pout. He pulled away from Steve, walking around the kitchen aimlessly with swinging arms, “I was just wondering where our liege had run off to. Apparently you went to guide a wayward princess through the fine art of confectionary creation.” 
Said ‘princess’ was staring at Eddie with open distrust. Her spoon had been abandoned beside her, and her arms were wrapped tight around her middle. Steve was immediately reminded of her initial reaction to Max. Although they were thick as thieves now, El had been cold to her too at the start. Steve had figured it was some sort of pre-teen jealousy thing over Mike. 
Apparently it was just an all around jealousy thing. It made sense though. A girl who had nothing would protect whatever she had with ferocious intensity, especially her people. Time to do a little damage control. 
“Eddie’s my friend, and he said he wanted to be friends with you too,” Steve said, pitching his voice soft and low as he reframed things for El. If Eddie was one of her people, then she wouldn’t be quite so possessive over Steve’s time. “He’s a little loud, and a little scary looking, but he’s probably the nicest person I know.” 
Eddie raised his eyebrows in surprise, but Steve just shrugged. He was just being honest, Eddie probably was the nicest person Steve knew. He cared about Nancy and Jonathan, and he loved the kids, but none of them were necessarily very nice. Eddie had taken Steve in without even really thinking about it, which would have been amazing even if Steve had just been another nerd.
The fact that Steve used to be one of the people who would have made fun of people like Eddie only made him even better in Steve’s eyes. 
El’s mouth pursed into a tiny little scowl, and she narrowed her eyes, evaluating Eddie where he stood. 
“Bitchin’,” El said after a moment, punctuating the word with an approving nod. It was probably the closest thing to approval Eddie could earn at this moment. 
“Yeah, Babydoll’s totally bitchin,’” Steve said with a laugh, stretching the word out just because it was funny to see Eddie turn bright red. Steve wasn’t sure if it was from the compliment or the silly nickname, but either way he was enjoying it. 
“It’s good to meet you, Miss Jane,” Eddie said, coughing and trying to will away the blush on his cheeks, “Steve’s told me a lot about you.” 
El turned to look at Steve, adorably confused by Eddie’s statement. Steve stiffened up, avoiding his knee jerk impulse to shake his head. He hadn’t told Eddie anything real about El, just the same story that Hopper and Joyce were selling to the parents. But El wasn’t good with secrets at the best of times, and the elaborate intricate story that they had woven would probably be too much for her. 
“El? EL!” 
“Mike, stop shouting!” Steve said, shouting himself, relieved at being interrupted before things could get hairy. He rolled his eyes and shot Eddie a look, calm now that Eddie seemed less curious about El and more fondly annoyed with Mike and his antics. “We’re in the kitchen.”  
Pandemonium as all four boys trooped in, clustering around El and chattering their heads off like they always did. Steve let out the breath he had unintentionally been holding, leaning back against the counter as he watched the kids mess around. 
“Steve, stop hogging her,” Mike snapped as he pulled away from El, glowering at him with all of the brutality of a two week old puppy. 
“El’s a person, not a toy. She can do something without you and that doesn’t mean she likes you any less,” Steve said, ignoring Mike’s sputtering denials as he helped El down from the counter, “The oven has to preheat anyway. Why don’t you go inside with them, and when the cookies are ready, you can help me dunk them in the icing?” 
El nodded, allowing herself to be pulled away by the boys. But just as she passed Eddie she stopped, grabbing onto the sleeve of his leather jacket and looking up at him from behind her curls. 
“You’ll join us?” She asked. Eddie leaned down so they were the same height and nodded, reaching out to ruffle her curls. 
“I’ll be here, Lady Jane,” Eddie promised. 
“El,” She corrected. 
That was big, even if Eddie didn’t fully realize it. It wasn’t exactly a full acceptance, but only people El actually liked were allowed to use her ‘real’ name. 
“El?” Eddie questioned. 
“A nickname. Not sure where she got it,” Steve stepped in, smoothing out the wrinkle before it could even form. He nudged Lucas, pushing them all towards the door, “Now scram, twerps.”
The kids all immediately began to groan and whisper curses under their breath at the word ‘twerps’, and they dragged El out without another word to Eddie or Steve. Steve turned and began to gather the dishes, dumping them all into the sink and turning on the water. As he started scrubbing, Steve felt more than saw Eddie’s presence approaching him. 
“I think she likes me,” Eddie sang, leaning all of his weight against Steve. He caught Eddie easily, carrying both of their weights as he continued to do the dishes. 
“What’s not to like?” Steve asked. The question was rhetorical, but the shaky little breath inward that Eddie let out wasn’t. Steve paused, sensing the mood shifting, put down the bowl he was holding and faced Eddie. 
He looked wrecked, inexplicably upset and almost guilty as he chewed on his lip and searched for words. All Steve wanted to do was wrap him in a hug and ask what was wrong, but he held back. Whatever Eddie was trying to say, it was important. 
“Steve-”
But whatever Eddie was going to say was interrupted by the sound of an engine outside. The motor was roaring, an obnoxious sound that grated on Steve’s nerves and set his teeth on edge. There was only one person who revved their stupid car that way in town, and he was the last person Steve wanted to see tonight. 
Whatever this was, it wasn’t going to be good.

Beomgyu One-shot
Tumblr media
♡♡♡-"I just want to sit back and watch my princess ride my thigh~"
Pairing:: Dom!Bf!Beomgyu x sub!fem!reader
Warning::smutty~
Genre:: thigh riding, praising, Beomgyu is whipped for you, use of pet names a Lil bit
A/N::I think it's maybe just a little clear that I like thigh riding...and maybe Beomgyu too
Beomgyu just arrived back home at roughly 6pm after a concert practice and he was so tired. First thing he did when he came in the door was hug you for way longer than needed, and flop onto the couch. You followed him and sat next to him, or rather on top of him. You had your leg on top of his thigh and your arms wrapped around him. You gave him little kisses on his cheek and neck as you rubbed his chest softly. 
"Damn it come here," he mumbled as he picked you up and set you on his lap. He instantly started making out with you, and pulling on your clothes. "I'm so horny right now," he chuckled in between kisses. "Just wanna watch my princess ride my thigh~" he chuckled again before pulling you back into the kiss. His hands tangled in your hair as you put your hands on his shoulders. You moved your mouth down to his shoulder and started biting him. Not too hard of course, but enough to make him moan and tug your hair lightly. "Take your shirt off baby," he said as he started pulling it off. As soon as he got the fabric off your skin you continued kissing him. It wasn't long before he was stripped of his own shirt and you were biting his bare skin. 
"Here take off your shorts," 
You got up and did as he said as he admired your body with siren eyes. He then patted his leg for you to sit back on which you did instantly. He placed his sturdy hands on your hips as his eyes locked onto your body. "Your so damn beautiful do you know that?" He smirked as he tucked some of your hair behind your ear. You nodded with a little whimper. "Do you wanna get off on my thigh?" He tilted his head as his big doe eyes looked at you.
"How did you know exaclty what I wanted~" you grinned as you put your arms around his neck. 
"Because I can feel you throbbing on me," Beomgyu smirked and your face turned pink
 You put your hands between your legs. Beomgyu giggled and petted your face softly. "Don't be shy baby~" he twisted his fingers through your hair as his eyes examined yours. 
"I-It's hard…" you blushed and avoided his eyes.
"Yes I am." He smirked and you laughed before hitting him teasingly on the arm. "You're so pretty when you laugh," he said before pulling you into a kiss and twisting his tongue between yours. He groaned lowly as your mouths collided. The kiss was a very eager feeling, all his attention was on you and he wanted nothing more than to feel around your mouth with his tongue. You started subconsciously grinding against his thigh hard. Beomgyu groaned lowly as you did so. You let go of the kiss to focus on the pleasure of his jeans against your wet cunt. 
"I-it feels so~" you whimpered between moans. 
"So what dear~?" Beomgyu smirked as his left hand held your hip tight and the other tucked back your hair. 
"G-Good," you whimper as you continue to quickly move back and forth on his thigh. 
"Here baby try going slower like this~" he smiled as he held your hips. He slowly moved your hips up to the top of his thigh and back down to almost his knee. The pleasure was so shocking and sudden you couldn't even moan. All you could do was leave your jaw hung open and shut your eyes tight. After the second time he did this you let out a long breathy moan, shivers shot up your body and the butterflies in your stomach fluttered down. The aching in between your legs grew as he continued to move you slowly, and harshly against his jeans. Each Fiber of his Jeans grinding against your sensitive clit and entrance. 
"I need to take these off," you chuckle as you swing your head back. Beomgyu then helps you take off your panties leaving you only in your bra. Typically you're rather shy when nearly nude but you were too eager to feel his thigh on you again to think about being embarrassed. You sat back down on his thigh and started doing the method he had taught you. Slow and hard. He smirked proudly before speaking.
"Good girl, you're a fast learner eh~?" He whispered in your ear. You squint your eyes at the pleasure of feeling the heat of his breath lingering on your ear. "You're so pretty, my love. Keep going til you cum okay sweetie?" He smiled before licking your ear slowly. You nodded your head in response as he played with your hair. You end up going faster but you keep the length and weight the same. 
"I'm so close~" you whine breathlessly as he kisses your neck with his soft lips grazing over your skin. You stutter out some nonsense before Beomgyu hushes you and puts a finger up to your quivering lips.
"Shh baby, just let go whenever you're ready~" he said as he twirled some of your hair around his finger. "You're such a beautiful baby, such a good, good girl~" he cooes as you feel your high approaching. You gasp before feeling your walls tighten around nothing as your clit rubs against his jeans. 
Beomgyu then notices a dark patch on his thigh. Your cum drips down the sides of his legs as you pant with your head on his chest. He's honestly shocked. He pats your head as he examines your arousal that coated his thigh. There was a lot and there was still more slowly pouring out of you. Little dribbles but still enough to say there was more to come. 
"Are you okay dear?" Beomgyu says softly as he raises your head to look at him. 
"Yeah why?" You chuckle. 
"There's just…a lot of cum. More than usual," he chuckles and you shrug.
"Maybe it just felt that good," you said as you grabbed him in a soft hug which he returned.
"We must do this again sometime," he smiles before yawning. "Maybe when I'm not so tired~"

julien definitely has a thing for biting

Tumblr media
Up against the wall with me - Part One 18+
THIS IS RPF IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT READ IT ✨✨✨
request- just going to a party w jb and her getting like hot and bothered by you dancing on her in front of everyone!
yeah i’m femme so grinding is like a thing for me lol like maybe bathroom sex at the party idk
One of your favorite things about Julien was watching her be completely herself, because she usually has her guard up so it's rare. There are typically only two times when she lets herself be completely free, when she was on stage with her boys, and right now. Julien was only ever complexly relaxed when she was getting lost in the music. You were currently sat at the bar watching Julien dance and be goofy with her friends, smiling to yourself over how silly she let herself be with them. The boys had just preformed their last US show of the tour and everyone was letting loose.
Julien finally took a break from dancing walking over to you and wrapping her hands around your hips, she was standing in between your legs so she had perfect access to burry her face in your cleavage.
"Jay!" you laughed feeling her smile into your chest. She pulled away looking up into your eyes and placed a kiss to your breast. You smiled shaking your head, before handing her your water to drink from. She drank the entire thing before licking her lips subconsciously, turning you on. She kissed you before saying something about going to find Phoebe.
-
After about 20 minutes you were getting kinda bored just waiting for Julien to get back so you went to find her and phoebe. You looked around the club that their management had rented out and tried to find them, you found phoebe quickly considering her partner was like 20 feet tall but no Julien..
You walked around the club 3 times before you spotted her talking to the bassist from the band that was playing with boygenius tonight. She was like 5 foot 11 and extremely gorgeous and had been flirting with JB every chance she got, much to your annoyance. Honestly it's not like you could blame her, even in just a tank and dickies Julien looked like sex on legs.
You knew you had nothing to worry about, Julien was the most loyal partner ever, but you couldn't help feeling slightly jealous and wanting to make Julien a little jealous too. Because one thing about Julien that not a lot of people know, is that she can be very possessive when it comes to you. You watched the interaction a bit more, laughing when you could tell Julien didn't want to be there anymore, but was just too nice to say anything.
You made your way onto the dance floor, letting your body move to the music, swinging your hips the way you know drives Julien crazy. You saw Julien look over doing a double take when she saw you, Her eyes raked down your body pausing on you hips before her heated gaze made it to your face. You smiled at her letting your hips swing back and forth, getting Julien hypnotized.
Halfway through the song you felt hands on your hips, turning to see Lucy behind you. The two of you laughed, Lucy pulling your hips more into hers.
"God, JB looks feral." Lucy whispered in your ear, turning the two of you slightly giving Julien a better view. You looked over to her still standing with the bassist looking like you were about to get fucked within an inch of your life.
You smiled to yourself watching Julien, walk towards you not saying goodbye to the bassist. The music changed to a talking heads song.
"Mind if I cut in, Luce?" Julien asked, like you were in cotillion. Lucy laughed, sticking to the bit and kissing your hand before shaking Juliens. You couldn't help the smile on your face as you turned to julien seeing her also smiling. She turned to you her face going serious, pulling your body into hers. Her breathing was heavy on your neck, as you felt her bite down.
"Jay," You gasp, pressing yourself onto her thigh, at the same time pressing yours between hers.
"Shelby probably thinks i'm the biggest asshole and it's all your fault," Julien Huffs out.
"Well, considering her name is definitely not shelby, i don't think it's all my fault.." Your laugh turning into a moan halfway through when she presses her thigh at the perfect angle.
"Yeah well I was so turned on by you I must have missed it," Julien says, grinding down onto your thigh, and kissing you roughly. You moan into her mouth, feeling her tongue press against yours.
"Did watching me dance get you wet, baby?" You whisper against her lips, pulling her hips down roughly against your thigh. Julien whined into your mouth, biting down on your lower lip.
"Everything about you fucking gets me wet," Julien said, kissing and biting down your neck, her hands moving from your hips up your body squeezing your breasts before cupping your face in both of her hands.
"Jay, people are watching," you whine, trying to kiss her but being held in place by her hands. The song changed in the background to something by the cure.
"I really don't care about other people right now.." Julien said biting down on your shoulder.
"Fuck," You gasp out, rolling your hips into hers.
"I love you so much baby, but i'm so horny right now i'm going to fuck you like I hate you." Julien smiles, placing a sweet kiss to your lips, before grabbing your hand and tugging you towards the bathroom. You follow her behind her in what feels like a daze, you love when JB gets like this so much.
"Anyone in here?" Julien called pushing open the bathroom door, she waited for an answer getting none. She pulled you in before locking the door, pushing you up onto the sink.
Julien spreads your thighs making room for her between them, her mouth finding yours instantly.
"You're so fucking sexy, Jay," you moan out kissing her roughly, and thanking god that you wore a skirt.
Juliens hands slide under your skirt pulling your panties down, groaning when she feels how soaked the lace is.
"You're dripping down your legs princess, you want me to clean you up?" Julien purrs against your lips. The noise that comes out of you is downright pornographic. You watch as she smiles, biting her lip and pushing her hair away from her face.
"C'mere Princess, let's see how sweet you are for me." Julien murmurs pulling one of your legs over her shoulder, and licking a flat stripe up your wet crease before parting your folds and sucking on your clit. She pulls away to bite your thigh before licking the wetness off. You moan watching her lick your thighs clean, before pushing her tongue into you. She fucks her tongue in before going back to massaging your clit. You gasp running your fingers through her hair, and pushing yourself more onto her face.
"Jay, please," You moan out braising yourself up against the mirror. Julien pulls away from you, standing up your leg still over her shoulder. Julien smiles sweetly at you tracing her fingers over your lips, using her index finger to part them. You suck them into your mouth, running your tongue over them, getting them nice and wet. The sound of Type O Negative's Love you to death, fades in from the club.
"You're so perfect, look at you all spread out for me, sucking on my fingers like a good girl." Julien says looking into your eyes, You watched her pop the button on her jeans sliding her other hand into them and massaging her clit. She pulled her fingers from your mouth, grabbing your other leg and pulling it onto her shoulder. She pressed the fingers you sucked to your clit massaging it, before pushing them into you and fucking you at a rough pace.
Your hips involuntarily buck up into her hand, her other hand coming out of her pants and pressing you down onto the counter. Her fingers wet on your hip, causing you to throw your head back against the mirror. You wince but quickly forget the pain as she speeds up her fingers now pressing the palm of her hand against you clit. You moan pulling her face to yours and kissing her, it's sloppy and heated and you can taste yourself on her lips.
Julien adds a third finger, you moan into her mouth unable to catch a deep breath and loosing the ability to kiss her completely.
"Are you going to be a good girl and cum for me?" Julien says against your neck, her breathing heavy, you feel your legs start to shake, your hands wrapping around her shoulders.
"Jay, I-" You gasp out, your whole body tensing up. Julien fucks you though your orgasm, you watch as she pulls her fingers from between your thighs and up to her mouth. You moan and pull her towards you, trying to kiss her but she resists because she still has her fingers in her mouth. She moans around her fingers, slowly pulling them from her mouth, you moan to the sight almost too much.
"You taste so good, princess." Julien smiles, kissing you slowly, before kissing your forehead.
"Jay, I need you," You whine pulling her towards you, Julien laughs gently pushing your legs off of her shoulders.
"Aw you need me baby?" Julien pouts, pulling your panties up your legs and helping you off the sink, your legs still shaking.
"Jay-" You're cut off by another kiss, Julien pushes you against the bathroom door.
"Let's get you back to the hotel room." Julien says against your lips, unlocking the bathroom door and opening it. The prettiest star by David Bowie streams in from the now open door, and you think it's fitting because you're looking at her.

Keep Thinking About Gale x Single Mom!Tav
Tumblr media
A/N: Shout-out to @leighsartworks216 for letting me ramble to them about it. I just need to get all this stuff rattling around in my brain out.
I know, I know, Gale repeatedly says he's not father material, but have you considered that I want him to be a dad anyway and it's cute
So in my brain this single mom is named Gwen (Guinevere); a half-elf, wild magic sorceress
She came from a fairly well to do family, married a handsome and acceptably rich merchant and soon had a child on the way
Problems came when she gave birth to a healthy baby girl, who also happened to be a teifling
Seen as a bad omen, both her family and husband wanted her to give up the child, she refused causing her husband to leave her and her family to reject her
She didn't let that stop her though and soon she found a new home for her and Clara
Over the next eight years she worked hard to build a life for herself and make sure Clara never doubted for a moment she was loved
Gwen knew the world would be hard on her girl, so she made a point to build up her confidence and teach her it's never wrong to fight back when people are treating you unfairly; you can't take that shit lying down
Blunt and a bit intense, Gwen has seen and done plenty of shit and thought she finally had a handle on her life; and then she got kidnapped by illithids
Still haven't played the game, so I can't give a play by play of every interaction, but I do know early game she would be a bit distracted
Obviously her first goal is to figure out if her daughter is okay so it frankly is the only thing on her mind until she gets her hand on a sending scroll or something like it
Only after does she confirm that Clara is safe and with people she trusts can she focus on the task at hand
Takes a liking to Gale basically from the word go; he's respectful, he know hows to cook, he keeps making comments about his tongue, there is only so much a woman can handle
Gods know it has been a while since she's gotten laid
He starts rambling about magic and she can't not fuck him
Gale is hesitant at first because first the orb, second Gwen has made no secret she had a child and Gale doesn't see himself as father material, and three because he does really, really like her and doesn't want to make promises he can't keep
I'd say they're able to meet Clara before they head come to Baldur's Gate so Gale and the rest can meet her earlier; and to give Gwen some peace of mind
Clara is a very curious and headstrong, both of which Gale can appreciate; he can see why Gwen was so determined to get back to her, which only makes him admire her more
Also, quick aside about the rest of the companions; Wyll and Karlach would be ready to baby sit at any given moment, Lae'zel admires the child's fighting spirit and absolutely gifted her a sword, Shadowheart enjoys her more mischievous tendencies, and Astarion is classic wine aunt who hates all kids except Clara (he's been helping her stage of coup of the swing set)
Eventually feelings are confessed between Gale and Gwen leading to a proper relationship (and Gwen actually getting laid)
Gwen is absolutely not having it with him trying to blow himself up or becoming a god
Mystra: You must destroy yourself and the orb. Gale: Alright, let me ask Gwen. Mystra: No, that's not--. Gale: She said no.
Once everything is said and done, I'm going back and forth on if they would settle in Waterdeep
Clara has friends and it would be hard to ask her to leave, but I think Gale could compromise and get a position at a different magical university closer by
Either way, Gale settles into the domestic life rather nicely and dives head first into being the best father to Clara he can be
He absolutely devours every parenting book he can get his hands on, only to throw it all out the window once he's actually in it; Gwen did warn him, but old habits and all that
Probably waits a little longer to actually get married to see how they all function as a family together first; plus he wants to properly ask Clara if she's okay with him marrying her mother
I've got other random thoughts, but that about covers it for now, if you want to know more, feel free to drop an ask! I'm up for anything.

YESS WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE FANKIDS ‼️
Hhhhdhdgshgd I’m very shy abt them but I’m gonna be brave since a couple of y’all were curious!! :’> here they are!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s four of em and their names are Maisie, Lacey (short for Shoelace), Crowbar and Junior. They were born tiny, hairless and wrinkly and developed the ability to zoom around and track smells before they managed to open their eyes so they start terrorizing Jimmy Two Teeth before they can even see him, they’re like a horrible mix of naked mole rats and piranhas lmaoooo
Tumblr media
Also here is the first drawing I ever did of them :’)
Tumblr media
When I was designing them I felt like there were already so many fankids out there that are a really perfect fusion of both of Sam and Max’s looks, and I wasn’t crazy about trying to do it myself so I just made an army of little maxlets. The Maxlings, if you will! But I did give them longer tails in later drawings and Crowbar has floppy ears like Sam, so they didn’t completely skip his genes jfkhsgs ^^; I have planned out how they came to be but I’ll probably put that in a different post (maybe I’ll even write a little thing for it teehee that might be fun). But I can describe them a little here!!
Maisie is the oldest (as in the first one to be found, they weren’t really born in the traditional sense so \_:p_/) and she just really loves sharp objects lmao. She is mostly non-verbal, but in kind of a Ferb way where she’ll occasionally throw out a cryptic one-liner and mostly remain silent with kind of an ominous stare. Her sisters and brother are completely unfazed by this and have absolutely no fear of her, but she loves being scary to everyone else. She constantly seems like she’s about to commit an act of incredible violence but she doesn’t like to be caught doing it, so it’s all off-screen. She feels like it’s scarier that way. Max is very proud of her.
Lacey (Shoelace, because she used one as a teething toy as a baby which is baffling because neither of her dads wear shoes where did it come from??) is one of the middle kids. She likes dressing up and bounces around between masc and femme and both and neither. She also likes chatting a mile a minute with Crowbar, and she’s less of a twig than her sisters. Later in life she might try and get a lil buff like Sam. She mostly likes to go along with her sisters’ ideas because her head is pretty empty a lot of the time, and she’s slightly less inclined to jump to violence than they are. But only slightly. She also maybe picks up Sam’s habit of grabbing random items.
Crowbar is the other middle kid and fairly precocious. She’s the first one to unlock language capabilities (I have a comic about that I can post later!), and she loves trying to imitate Sam’s vocabulary. Not that she’s, like, good at it yet, but she’s trying lmao. She’s always very cheerful and bouncy and probably the most likely to cry a little if something goes wrong, but also frequently swings back around to bouncy happy and tends to forget whatever upset her immediately. She swings violently back and forth between having zero thoughts and being head full many thoughts that she has to babble loudly all at once.
And Junior is the youngest, the smallest, the baby of the family. He’s very shy and sensitive, and his sisters are like his own personal bodyguards lmao. He has a lot of sensory issues that his dads make sure to help him with, like getting him soft clothes and a noise cancelling beanie (bc he ears not really suited to headphones) and shooting out overhead lights when they’re too bright for him hdkdhshs. He also likes napping in Sam’s pockets and under his hat and Max loves carrying him around like the baby he is. He’s also a creative little dude and he likes drawing (and also eating the crayons afterward).
All four of them are little goblins who have no concept of morality (like even Junior, he may be skittish but he still condones violence and chaos hdkdhshs) and will eat almost anything. They are truly their fathers’ children shjfjjdgdjshsh, and speaking of which Sam and Max are thrilled to have them around and completely obsessed with them hehe. They pretty much just carry on with their cases like usual except now they have a small pack of land piranhas that they can sic on difficult suspects lmaoooo
And I have some more sketches of them I can post, too!! So I’ll probably bounce back and forth between that and the virtues for a bit hehe :>

Hearing Loss Research Dump
Heyo!! You probably reached through the footnote at the end of the Hearing Loss Guide for Warrior Cats! I often get asked questions like, "How do you make these guides?" and "Do you have sources?" So this time, I tried to keep a bit of a loose "journal."
Unfortunately it got disorganized after a few sessions (since this project ended up taking about 2 - 3 weeks to do) but, hey, hopefully it helps.
I have dumped all of my sources here and explained my thought process as I went along, so that you have a good foundation to go forth and do your own research.
I may update this post with more information and links, or remove sources if, for some reason, it is revealed that the source was harmful or not credible. SO, PLEASE feel free to recommend good educational organizations, documentaries, and blogs here on Tumblr willing to take questions.
This post is set to "no one can reblog" so that you're always seeing the most current version of this post. Just in case a source gets challenged, or one of the sensitivity readers wants their name removed, or I end up adding important corrections, etc.
This is Version 1.0, and it was updated on 1/2/2024.
The research "dump" post is messy, because it's a Bonus Thing that's supposed to go along with the very pretty and ~concise~ Herb Guide that I created.
Session 0
I had wanted to do this for a while, but this RIDICULOUS thing that was said to an Anon and then shared with me almost gave me an aneurysm. I asked if my followers wanted this boosted to the top of my priorities, they said yes, and here we are.
In the process I also looked for input, especially from deaf/HOH followers. I made a note to include tinnitus, unilateral (one ear) hearing loss, and I'm considering doing a second guide just for how to TREAT the ear infections I mentioned would lead to a lot of hearing loss in RiverClan.
An outline of the Herb Guide post was written just before I did any real research, so I had a general idea of the aspects of hearing loss I wanted to talk and learn about.
Sat down to start my research the next day.
SESSION 1: The Basics
My first step is always just a basic internet search, including a pit stop at Wikipedia to read the article, and then follow the sources or find a place that explains the concept more deeply.
Because my project's about anthropomorphic cats, I always start with humans first, then swing over to a search on felines. I'm usually alternating between them because that is how my mind works, hearing something in one and then linking that to some sort of question about how that would look in cats.
From Wikipedia, the World Health Organization, and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, I learned that "Hearing Loss" is the blanket term for all lack of hearing, and "Deafness" is when it totally prevents you from understanding speech.
Like blindness, most deaf people can hear a little. Stressed that.
It's also here that I started with cat hearing. First I looked at Purina, but it wasn't a great find, besides a link to common signs of ear infections which I put in my back pocket lmao. I came across Dr. Pippa Elliot's article for Petful.com, and this one is MUCH more informative.
I started thinking critically about a lot of that info. Cats have a much higher range of hearing than humans, a feline society would actually catch hearing loss loooong before humans would catch it in a pet cat. Plus the whiskers. The article actually mentions that when you check a cat for hearing loss, you have to avoid blowing wind on the whiskers or even vibrating the ground.
Very sensitive animals, fascinating. Anyway, back on humans,
There's also FOUR TYPES of hearing loss. Conducive, Sensorineural, Mixed, and Auditory Neuropathy. I also went and found a good explanation from the CDC to double-check Wikipedia.
And it's a good thing I did! Wikipedia did not mention Type 4 at the time of my research, and the CDC's article is VERY straightforward and informative.
Types;
Conducive: Sound can't get through the canal. Usually a blockage.
Sensorineural: A problem with the hearing organs or the auditory nerve.
Mixed: Both of these at once
Auditory Neuropathy: The ear detects the sound, but doesn't send the signals to the brain properly.
From what I can tell from the National Institute for Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, Auditory Neuropathy is less well defined and can have overlap with Sensorineural. Sometimes it has to do with damage or malformation of the inner ear hairs, other times it's completely unknown and just assumed to be a brain issue.
So according to that definition, Auditory Processing Disorder is a type of auditory neuropathic hearing loss.
Then I started watching Christmas movies and forgot I was doing research oops. Time waits for no man, nor muppet. Very important that once a year you watch movies that make you cry and also Gonzo is there.
BUT. Throughout this project, I was constantly finding new sources on "the basics" that explained things in different ways. I didn't find all of these in that one session, but I will dump them in a straight list here.
Straight statistics of prevalence of hearing loss in the UK
Two types of inner ear infections (got cut from the guide because I was trying to stay focused on the disability itself, not causes and ear ailments)
Congenital deafness (Helpful, but again, was trying to keep the guide focused on general disability writing advice, not explain every single reason why a person could be deaf. That's for one's own research!)
Degrees of hearing loss (But notably I've also seen these thresholds shift around. This one says deafness starts at 95 DB, but I did also see 81 elsewhere.)
A guide on soundproofing which put the affects of noise on your ears into perspective (helpful with comparisons to degrees of hearing loss)
REALLY GOOD GUIDE ON HERTZ AND DECIBELS (And also comparisons of different decibel levels, in relation to the thresholds of hearing loss)
Tinnitus
SESSION 2: Comparing human and cat hearing
I felt like I had a good understanding of the basics here. The four types, some considerations for cat biology, some tidbits to mention like most people with hearing loss still being able to hear a little, etc.
NOW I'm going to finish reading any sources I opened up in side tabs, and learn about the side effects of hearing loss that I've seen so far. Tinnitus was requested specifically.
But, I felt pretty confident at this point, so I started actually working on the guide itself. It's good because that's when I start getting really specific questions like, "Just how sensitive IS a cat's hearing next to a humans?"
Found this article comparing human and feline hearing, and also went for a source on common causes of ear infections in cats, and compared them to common causes of ear infections in humans. Basically everything WE get, and more. I also remembered a vet that I worked with explaining that humans don't get ear mites because our ear canals are shorter, but honestly I don't really want to hunt down a source on that.
Bottom line is that it seems that cats get ear infections significantly easier than humans.
SESSION 3: Paying attention to deaf and HOH experiences
Started loading up some videos on Youtube, and follow along with presentations from deaf speakers, awareness charities, and so on.
ADHD protip: If you're like me and often feel the need to get up and walk around when you're trying to focus on something, playing flash games on Neopets or a similar petsite while keeping a video popped out is a great way to help with executive function impulse stuff. Firefox and the program Freetube both allow for you to pop open a small window that you can move around your screen.
I absolutely adored this video from Montfort University, which collected experiences from people who were actively losing their hearing. I'm feeling that a lot of folks are probably anticipating the Herb Guide with the expectation it'll talk about fully deaf warriors like Snowkit (And BB!Whitewing, who is deaf in Better Bones), but one of the most important things I'm learning is that partial and unilateral hearing loss is both common, and important to talk about.
That section on people forgoing hearing aids is so bitter. The way that they were reluctant to even "admit" they had a disability (feeling as if it "doesn't count"), felt like hearing aids were for "old people" so they resisted getting a device that would really help, and that one woman who finally realized what her own mother must have been going through when she was in her shoes...
Jeez, man. Ableism really hits us all, doesn't it? You'll reject the small bits of help that were SHAKEN out of the pockets of an uncaring world, just so you don't have to admit you might need it.
I am vaguely aware that there's buzz within the deaf community about hearing aids, with some deaf people actually having extremely negative feelings on them. I didn't manage to find those people though, besides what I remembered from Tumblr posts explaining that cochlear implants tend to destroy what little hearing remains. I also didn't know what sorts of hearing aids exist, just basics.
In any case, it's not what my guide's about. Clan cats wouldn't be able to make devices like that-- so to compensate, I tried to stress that forcing warriors to "assimilate" to able-bodied society is bad compared to "accommodating" them. But I did make a little aside note on the guide itself as a PSA.
ANYWAY I'm keeping that pinned in my mind as I go through this. A LOT of these speakers are talking about their implants and how much they changed their lives, so I'm taking things with a teeny grain of salt, knowing I'm probably not getting the entire hearing-impaired community's feelings on this.
Rachel Kolb's Tedx talk was DEEPLY insightful, she is an absolutely fantastic presenter and her statistics are gutwrenching. I'm also paying close attention to how she described her speech therapy classes, how tactile the lessons are, how she had to hold her hand to her teacher's throat and learned that the trick to an N and an M was to speak it through the nose...
The theme of this part of my research has really been "heartbreaking," honestly. Next I watched this one from a BBC interview, where the speaker talks about how much EFFORT they have to make to listen to others. The casual cruelty of hearing people just not caring enough to reach out and make sure she can follow along in the conversation.
I know it's maybe not the same thing, but I teared up a bit at some parts, because that's something I've also felt as someone who's ADHD/Autistic. How much it hurts when people won't even take the goddamn time to clue you in. Like you're not worth it
Even if it's just for a silly cat community, I really hope the weeks of effort and hours of reading I put into this guide and journal makes someone feel seen. You're worth the time. I promise I mean it
Anyway,
Like The Basics, I kept finding more things as I went through my research, outside of this session.
Struggles of deaf people in life and the workplace
Social struggles, particularly in the digital age
Cochlear implants: Pros and Cons (It was really not relevant to my project here, BUT, I figured it was important enough to even mention in an aside on the main guide.)
Really interesting passage from a married couple losing their hearing
"What is it like to be deaf?" Mentions the link to memory loss in people who are hard of hearing due to the brain "discarding" misheard sentences.
SESSION 4: Relevant questions.
This is the point I was asking more targeted questions, as I was actively writing the bulk of the guide, because in spite of everything this remains a cat project. If I was about to write something and then realized I didn't actually know like... WHAT causes it, HOW it happens, How COMMON a thing is, I would go and find out.
For example I knew that Snowkit had a higher chance of being born deaf, but didn't exactly know why, or how it happens, or how much higher of a chance that was. So, I looked up white cats with blue eyes, and looked up the percentages associated with deafness in them.
Apparently it's rapid degeneration, instead of the inner ear just not forming properly. I could go down that rabbit hole and learn more about why, but at this point, I'm far enough along that I need to start deciding when something isn't really helpful but just interesting. It's REALLY easy to get distracted at this point in making these guides.
That lead to to look at how people tend to handle their deaf cats and make their lives better, which also lead me to a good source on how to clean a cat's ears. That's another thing I had to halt at; because this guide is about DISABILITY, not about treating ear ailments.
When you're doing research this way, I find it helpful to "limit my scope." I've mentioned this technique/skill/advice in the past with some of my cultural expansions for the Clans too. You can see how maaaaassive the guide I wrote got even while staying on topic; it easily could have gotten bloated by even MORE tangential knowledge.
But I do plan to make an ear treatment guide at some point, as well.
I then started trying to learn more about rodent squeaks. How high in hertz they are, when different animals make them, how loud in decibels, etc. I couldn't find very much, because sound/hearing in general is actually WILDLY understudied, especially in terms of non-human animals.
But I did find this article on mouse vocalizations, specifically, and this webpage on various animal hearing ranges.
(though the webpage begs ppl to be careful about making comparisons between the numbers on the page, because they come from different studies with different parameters. But like. somehow i think this is good enough for funny cat project)
Lastly on this topic, I tried to find a good source on whiskers and how well they can "replace" hearing, and ended up finding this EXCELLENT article on allllll sorts of hearing loss related things in cats. It's got it all. Whiskers, common causes, tests. It's great.
SESSION 5: Sensitivity readers
I'm trying to be extra careful with this guide, with the knowledge in mind that this one was highly requested and likely will get decent reach. So, I figured it was more important than usual to speak to disabled individuals who could advise me, to my face, instead of only relying on what I'd seen in my research and secondhand information.
(especially since my style in writing these guides tries to be "simple," trying to limit how much medical speak I use and explaining terms in-depth when I need to use them.)
I spoke to @sylsoddsandends, @s0ulfulsapph1cf, and one more. While talking to them, they brought up even more to me that I hadn't considered.
For example, I did not know that unilateral hearing loss (affects one ear more than the other) actually resulted in a loss of "distance perception," the same way that I don't have depth perception because I've got low vision in one eye. I grabbed a scientific paper to read about it and went forth.
I also got a ton of good feedback about how much I stressed that lipreading is difficult, added some advice on a unilateral HL cat would stand, brought in some notes about chronic pain, so on. I then went to preview it to a bunch of personal friends to give it a couple more once-overs for typos and flow and such.
The last thing I did was reach out to those sensitivity readers again, and ask their permission to link them here. I don't have permission from the last reader yet (which is on me, I should have asked sooner). So there will be an update here if/when they get back to me.
POSTMORTEM
Nothing here yet! I will make an attempt to collect any follow-up questions and such down here.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
so these frames gave the idea that there was some love triangle going on there (mostly because of nathalie’s shocked face in the second memory) while there actually wasn’t, because we later find that gabriel and emilie were already together then and not only falling in love. but here’s how i make sense of them:
in my head the timeline is that gabriel got together with emilie when they were like in their early 20’s. emilie left her family and gabriel began his business soon after and then they decided to have a child at around 25, but they couldn’t so they began their hunt a few years after. maybe gabriel is like 30.
this is when they meet nathalie who despite being very young is super talented and knows a lot so she’s perfect for the job and she’s like 21-23.
and the thing about this age is that. you’re kind of swinging back and forth between feeling like a teenager and feeling like an adult. so, like a teenager, you can still get these kind of naive crushes on older people, which aren’t actually love but infatuation, but as an adult, you start seeing these older people more as your peers, actually, so things can get confusing.
so this is what happens to nathalie when she feels attracted to gabriel. and sometimes her subconscious forgets that this isn’t college anymore, where someone having a girlfriend/boyfriend didn’t mean they couldn’t be available at some point later. she has to actively remind herself that she can’t have hope because he is married.
but she’s a romantic and one day there’s this moment when it’s just the two of them and they work so well together and rational thought goes out the window for a while because there’s a connection. and in her heart something shifts and for a moment it gets convinced that it’s possible, she and gabriel. but soon enough it all comes crashing down when they come back and she’s like oh right. emilie exists. and we’re adults. and they’re a literal married couple.
but still that little thing that shifted that day perseveres, even as she grows up and matures. her feelings that began as simply idolizing gabriel evolve to the constant background love she has no option but getting used to. and then they resurface when she’s helping him get the miraculous, when she can’t dismiss them as a childish admiration anymore.

GILBERT VON OBSIDIAN EVENT STORY....
Tumblr media
Don't forget the promise you made to your big brother, okay?
translations are not 100% accurate. expect mistakes.
MINORS DNI.
There is one thing I would like to apologize to the little rabbit who has become a child.
━━FLASHBACK━━
Gilbert: What are you guys doing here?
Tough man: Hah, I'm sure this has nothing to do with you, but get out of here, you fool!
Gilbert: What? It's creepy when you stare at me like that.
Gilbert: Can I gouge your eyes out?
At that time, I thought I was being careful, but I let out a murderous intent.
The feeling of the little rabbit trembling in my arms is still fresh in my mind.
━━FLASHBACK ENDS━━
Gilbert: Emma, here you go.
Emma: Wow, sparkles!
Emma's small hands hold the sun catcher I just bought.
It was made from a collection of colorful gemstones, and it was shining around it through sunlight.
Emma: Are you sure?
Gilbert: Of course. I'm pleased that the little rabbit is happy too.
Emma: Thank you. I will treasure it!
Emma was so pleased with the "sparkles" that she would not take her eyes off of it.
It's not an uncommon item at an ore festival, but that doesn't seem to matter to Emma.
(I don't feel like you’re forced to be happy.)
(I hope the scary memories from earlier will fade quickly….)
Gilbert: Emma, there's also a great sweets shop over there.
Emma: Sweets!
Gilbert: Do you want to eat?
Emma: I want to eat!
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Then, let’s go.
I held Emma's hand, who was still distracted by the sun catcher and started walking.
As I was about to head towards the sweets shop, I felt a little resistance.
I stopped in my tracks and followed the direction of those round eyes.
Before I knew it, she was staring at a small park in a corner of the town.
In a park that was recently renovated using national funds,
The children around the same age as Emma are playing happily.
(Are you…itching to join in?)
If Emma was still an adult, she couldn't get herself involved with people as much as possible because of my jealousy,
I have no intention of tying up the child Emma.
Perhaps it was because I had very different feelings about Emma’s adult self, but I felt I could be more forgiving now.
Gilbert: You can go.
Emma gasps when I let go of her hand.
Emma: What about Gil?
Gilbert: I'll wait here for you.
Emma: Only wait?
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Well, I'll just watch the little rabbit play as much as possible.
Gilbert: When you're happy, I'm happy too.
Emma: …..
Emma's eyes kept going back and forth between here and the park.
After a moment of hesitation, her small hand gripped my cold fingers.
Emma: I’m good.
Gilbert: Why?
Emma: Because I want to be with Gil.
Gilbert: You have it written all over your face that you want to play with them.
Emma: That's not true!
Gilbert: I know a liar when I see one.
Emma: Then I’ll play with Gil!
Emma puffs out her cheeks and starts walking while pulling my hand.
The destination seemed to be a park, and when we stopped in front of a swing set, I was asked to sit down.
Gilbert: Maybe you'd have more fun with the other girls than me?
Emma: It's much more fun with Gil!
(Did you care about me?)
(No, no matter how Emma is, she’s still a child, so I can't believe that.)
I gave up and sat down on the swing, and Emma jumped onto my lap.
(….It can’t be helped.)
When I swung slowly while holding Emma so that she would not fall off, a flower blossomed on her innocent face.
Emma: Gil, more, more!
Gilbert: You have some courage, aren’t you, Emma?
Since she wanted me to do it, I tried to live up to her expectations and kicked the ground while thinking about my physical strength.
Although Emma was innocently enjoying herself, she had a nagging feeling in her chest.
Tumblr media
Emma: Sparkles…sparkles….
Even after returning to the royal Castle from the town, Emma never gets tired of looking at the sun catcher.
Hearing her singing, I can tell how happy she was.
Gilbert: Did you like it that much?
When I sat down a little further away and asked, Emma quickly turned around.
Emma: Yeah! It's so beautiful.
Emma: Besides, these sparkles…have the same as Gil's eye.
Her small finger pointed to a red gemstone that stood out among the multiple gemstones in the sun catcher.
(That reminds me…)
━━FLASHBACK━━
Emma: But you know what shines the most?
Gilbert: Huh, it's not a gem?
Emma: No, it's not!
Emma: Gil's red eye are the most sparkling and beautiful.
━━FLASHBACK ENDS━━
I smiled bitterly at the memory.
Gilbert: I wonder if my eye sparkles that much.
Emma: Yeah, it sparkles. But….
Emma: Sometimes your sparkles just disappear.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Disappear?
Emma nods, as she lets go of the sun catcher and runs towards me on her little feet.
Then, she tugged at my clothes and tilted her head as if to listen to a secret conversation.
Emma: You know.
Emma: When Gil isn't sparkling, he looks lonely.
Gilbert: …..
(…It's my first time hearing that.)
(Ah, but…maybe it's the difference between having your eyes lowered and not.)
Whether she’s an adult or a child, Emma is always the same.
I couldn't turn away from Emma,
When sunlight shines through me, my eye may seem to sparkle.
(But I don't see much of the rest of it.)
Of course, not that I haven't seen it at all, but I'm not interested.
I've never been conscious of it, but I seem to spend more time with my eye downcast.
(The child Emma is really watching well.)
While I was impressed, Emma lifted her hands.
I picked her up in what looked like a "hugging" pose, her little hands held me tight——
Emma: Look, it's still sparkling.
Emma: Sparkling like a jewel!
Tumblr media
Her innocent eyes looked into my face, and my cheeks relaxed involuntarily.
Gilbert: ….I see.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Maybe the reason you didn't go to the other kids at the park because I wasn't sparkling anymore?
Emma: Yeah. When Gil stops sparkling, something feels tight here.
Emma pointed to her chest.
(I didn't mean to bind/restrain you.)
It is no different for child Emma and adult Emma to react to the loneliness that has come out unconsciously.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: I’m sorry.
Emma: …?
Gilbert: Hehe, if you don't know, that's fine.
Gilbert: In exchange, your big brother will kindly share a secret with you.
Emma's eyes light up in response to the word "secret".
(I think you're more sparkly than I am.)
Tumblr media
Gilbert: When your big brother is sparkling, it's because he "loves the little rabbit".
Emma: !
Gilbert: But it's embarrassing, so don't tell anyone, got it?
Emma: All right!
Emma clings to me happily with a big smile on her face.
(You knew by your instincts that I was a scary person in the back alley….)
(Even so, you still feel attached to me.)
Tumblr media
Gilbert: You're so cute...please continue to love me forever.
Emma: Yes! Gil, I hope you'll always love me, too.
Gilbert: Hehe, of course.
(I know my "love" is not always good for you….)
That's not something I should say to the little rabbit.
Gilbert: Don't forget the promise you made to your big brother, okay?
