For Life: The Halloween Introduction

Hi. I meant for this all to be done by today, but life etc. Instead, please enjoy the introduction to my very first a/b/o fic. There is lots more coming.

Pairing: Alpha!Pero x Omega! f!Reader

W.C.: 1k

Warnings: Omegaverse things and all that goes with that. Suggestive talk, established relationship / bonded mates, all the a/b/o things coming soon. Sorry, it's late. That's all I got.

**

“Pero, can you help me plug the rest of the lights in?”

It’s Halloween. Your favorite holiday, the one you celebrate from the first of September to the big day itself at the end of October. Your mate- your Alpha- did everything he could to make you happy all year long. But during spooky season? You could ask anything of him and he would do it for you. 

Anything for his sweet Omega. Even if he grumbled a little, as is Pero’s way. 

But this holiday, everything was going wrong. Your heat was coming, a full week early. 

It had been simmering just under the surface for a day and a half, a burning in your belly that Pero was aware of almost as soon as you were. He had immediately set into action, barely stopping to kiss you before he was hustling out the door to the grocery store. He always made sure you had everything you both would need to get you through your heat. Even suppressed, your heats were a wild, needy thing. You had found trusted heat partners in the past, and they had helped you take the edge off. Helped you get through. You also had heaps of toys, ones that were gathering dust in the box under the bed. 

But nothing - and no one - could prepare you for what it felt like to be with your mate. Your Alpha. 

You try to fight off the growing need as you dump bags of candy into the garishly large skull-shaped bowl. Pero comes stomping into the room, his scent wafting toward you. It’s enticing and you stare at him with desire as he stalks toward you, clearing the length of the living room in three large strides. 

“Enough with the lights. We shouldn’t even be bothering with this, we must make sure everything is set for your heat. Is your nest even ready?” Pero’s eyes are darkly intense, intimidating to anyone but you; his Alpha on edge as it waits for your heat to fully blossom. 

Your breath catches when he stands over you, capturing your chin between his steady thumb and forefinger. Always wanting to make your Alpha pleased, you respond,” Yes, of course it is, darling. I took your sweatshirt and all the blankets you left out for me.” 

Pero tilts your head, exposing his neck to you just as he did the night you became bonded for life. “You smell so good, sweet thing. I just want to take care of you now,” he murmurs, dragging his nose along the column of your neck. Electricity dances down your spine and your knees feel weak. You’re on the precipice, and he can taste you. 

His protective scent rolls over you, soothing your Omega. Alpha will take care of me. He always does.  

Pero leans in for a kiss, exhaling against your lips. 

The doorbell rings, too loud against your raw nerves. 

“Pero, the trick-or-treaters! We need to pass out the candy,” you murmur with concern. You always look forward to seeing what the little ones are wearing, cooing over their little capes and masks. 

“I will give them their sweets. Go make sure everything is just as you like it,” Pero commands. 

You acquiesce, reluctantly. “Alright, but they get to pick at least two. No, three. Let them pick at least three, alright? Don’t rush them, the little ones need time to think.” You rattle on, feet firmly planted in the same spot. 

Pero listens for a moment before issuing a stern warning, so low it’s practically a growl. 

“Omega.”

Your cunt clenches and you scurry back toward your bedroom. After a few minutes of rearranging, you deem it perfect. You can’t wait to show Pero. The doorbell has gone off several times now, and you worry that Pero has been left to his own devices with the children. 

The yearning for your Alpha, the kind that makes your breath quicken and your pussy ache, is becoming unbearable. You want nothing more than to bury yourself in your nest and let Pero work you through your heat. Let him take you and fill you and soothe you over and over and over and…

Oh. It’s here. It’s here and you’re burning up. You need, you need…

“Pero? You call out, stumbling into the living room. You clutch your stomach, trying to stand upright. 

Pero freezes, standing in front of the open door with a little vampire and an even tinier witch standing in the open doorway, rifling through the candy bowl. His scent fills your nostrils, his shoulders seemingly even broader than before. His chest is puffed up and somehow his hair seems a little wilder than just a few moments ago. 

“Take one and go,” he grunts out to the children. 

The witch and vampire protest. “But you said we could take three! Each!” the vampire exclaims. 

Pero snaps. “Take the whole bowl and GO,” he demands, thrusting the comically large amount of candy into their tiny arms. 

“Whoa,” you hear them utter in unison before he is slamming the door. He’s at your side in an instant, effortlessly lifting you up and carrying you down the short hallway to your shared bed. 

“Clothes off, Omega.” 

You weakly help as Pero gently helps you undress. “The porch light. Y-you left it on. They’ll be coming up to the door all night.”

Pero groans in annoyance, pulling the last stitch of clothing off of your body. “Fine, I’ll go turn it off. When I get back, I am going to take care of you. Do you hear me, Omega? I am going to fill you up. Give you my knot.” 

You whine. 

Pero continues. “And I am going to breed you.”

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

#9/11 #serious post #not a shitpost #this should be one of the first things kids learn when they learn about the 9/11 attacks #politics #this is just...it's such an essential and brazen fact and i rarely see basic outrage over it #i want outrage. i want fury. i want disgust over the way fundamental facts are disguised and discarded and downplayed #because there are things we should KNOW. basic fact we should ALL KNOW. and they are tucked away in the footnotes. #and no this is NOT to put the blame on other middle eastern countries #we know this was carried out by a specific terrorist organization not a national government #but King George the Second decided (and was encouraged by his cabinet!) to invade a nation! #a nation that was not at all related or responsible!!! #a dictatorship to be sure--but a dictatorship that King George the First had been happy to support #so what changed? why did we go in guns blazing to DEMOLISH a country *we had NO PLANS OF REPAIRING*??? #well. because they wanted a villain didn't they. a nice clean war. clarity of purpose. us the heroes against them the villains #and when you're in that mindframe--truth is irrelevant. you can pick your villain (your victim) by rolling a roulette wheel #truth is irrelevant #worse: to the people in charge #truth is a HINDRANCE #'Alternative facts' existed long before it became a catchphrase #facts don't matter. truth doesn't matter. the impulses of a handful of volatile & rich & power-high people--that's History. congratulations

there are going to be global demonstrations for Palestine on march 2nd, this site has more info

here's what's written on the front page:

"On March 2, millions across the world will march for Gaza! The Israeli government is planning to have a full-scale invasion of Rafah one week later, on March 9, one day before the start of Ramadan. Today, the United States vetoed a UN resolution that insisted that Israel immediately cease its mass killing spree in Gaza.

Now is the time to act! People around the world are going into the streets in cities and towns, including in the United States, as part of the global day of protest on Saturday, March 2.

Gaza is facing famine, its hospitals are besieged, threats of ground invasion in Rafah loom near, and Israel continues its onslaught on the over 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The mass movement for Palestine has led to the isolation of the US and Israel on the world stage. With growing internal divisions and heightened political pressure on Israel and the United States, it’s time to push even harder. Our mobilizations at this moment can be more decisive than ever, and we must show our full strength now to ensure a lasting ceasefire and an end to the siege on Gaza.

Act now, and mobilize in your communities and institutions, everyone must be on the streets on March 2nd! All out for Rafah! All out for Gaza! Stop the genocide!"

I think there's no greater indication that disco elysium is sympathetic towards communism when it literally says "communism is failure" and then the literal gameplay itself rewards trying and failing. The most obvious one being the Shivers check at the FELD mural, which is an Impossible 20 check BUT opens itself up again and again the longer you spend in the world doing things, but even just looking at sheer probabilities, for any given white check, rolling first and THEN putting a point into that skill upon failure is more likely to grant you success than putting a point first and then rolling, but that would require failing first.

Other things too: Precarious world saying you'll 100% fail red checks no matter what (not necessarily a bad thing, btw!! throwing the boule into the sea is a success but like. in some other ways one would want a perfect petanque throw instead. but people wouldn't typically assume that failure is desirable sometimes from the start) persuading you to accept that you'll fail some things that is irrevocable, for a world where everything is just a tiny bit easier.

The faux game over screen when you faint after reading Dora's letter— emulating a sense of failure on the scale of the entire game. When it rolls up most people go "What?? Game over?? No way, what did I do wrong!!" and waking up after that, with no huge or lasting impact on Harry's health or morale really tells the player, "Sometimes things will seem so bad that it all seems like it's coming to an end, but it's not the end, it's really not the end, go drink so water, you can still go on despite this failure"

I'm sure there are other things as well that are eluding me but like. The literal gameplay rewards failing and succeeding far more so than simply succeeding every single time, and I think you get a fuller experience of Elysium that way too

#just thinking thoughts... #disco elysium #idk man when did we get so scared of failing!! #people never want to speak in class because 'what if I'm wrong :(((' #well then you are wrong... that is okay... it's normal to fail... sometimes saying the wrong thing is a great way to jumpstart a topic... #'getting a good grade in X is both normal to want and possible to achieve' #okay sure but have you made peace with the fact that getting a BAD grade in X isn't a bad thing? #a bad grade in being friends... okay... so you didn't check up on someone in 3 months... you failed... that's fine... #you can learn from it!! you can learn how to keep in touch with people. how to take care of them when they're sick. #how to resolve a dispute. how to communicate and compromise. these are all things you are not born with #and will fail first before succeeding at #Like yes I get that in the age of surveillance your failures may be recorded and preserved forever and that's not great #but if we don't normalize failure I really think we'll just suffocate and die

part 2 of Zoro in WCI

01 02

I tried to write something to sum up my thoughts on this, but then it got longer and longer and tbh I'm itching to write a fic set in this AU djjdkf I think I could develop on their inner feelings more than in the comic form

Before posting the first part I didn't realize people had such strong opinions on how this would play out lmaooo

imo, of course Zoro wants to fight Sanji, not with actual intent to harm (they threaten each other on the daily, come on), but because that's how they are together, how they communicate. He respects Luffy's decisions and their goal here, which is to learn what's really going on with Sanji, but he's gonna be pissy about it all he wants. They both have so many intense and conflicted feelings about this and neither has any idea how to resolve them. So they fight.

ofc yall are free to headcanon this interaction any other way you want <333

#hope you can hear the moment Sanji's heart shatters #you're walking the painful path you chose and then even this stupid marimo instead of playing your usual game of threats and violence #instead of making this easier for you he pierces right through your heart with the tiniest confession #I never hated you #but even if he didn't use to #he sure as hell despises every inch of you now #he must he has to #but this is what you chose #it is what you deserve #ANGST #PAIN #wci zoro au #obvi if I were to write it wouldnt write first person this just got out of hand #i love angst can you tell #zosan #i love keeping them in the 'what if maybe no he would never' hell #roronoa “i love you but I will take these feelings with me to the grave” zoro #blackleg “I need you to hate me because I simply don't deserve to be loved” sanji #rorona zoro #black leg sanji #sanji #zoro #my art #whole cake arc #whole cake island #one piece #one piece fanart

You ever have those moments where an idea just... won't leave your head?

#dcu #batman #bruce wayne #green arrow #oliver queen #fake tweets #things I was not able to adequately convey in the format: #obviously Bruce's reasoning is really a lot closer to Ollie's but Bruce has a secret identity to maintain and Ollie... well #I don't know if you can make it out but his twitter profile pic is him in the Green Arrow costume and that's not accidental #also I am pretty sure that Bruce does just have the first airing date of The Price is Right saved in a corner of his mind palace #just in case it's ever relevant to a case #and he's angry at Ollie because Ollie knows that and also knows Bruce can't admit it because it would raise too many questions #also I did consider an extra scene where they tag-team harass Lex #but it just didn't sound right to me #also I put a whole load of Green Arrow references in here #Q-Core N_Singh and H_Fyff are all from the Nu52 Green Arrow runs #albeit Naomi and Henry are at least in the good Nu52 runs #obviously this is post-Snowbirds Don't Fly/Hard Travelling Heroes in general so Oliver is trolling Hal and setting up needle exchanges #and even Hal explaining to Ollie what Twilight is is a reference to one of the most dated things about the Arrow pilot: #the extremely tacky Twilight joke #anyway hope you enjoyed!

i like to pick up feathers while out on a walk, and today i decided to trim and paint this dove feather i'd found and cleaned a while ago.

it's not quite proportionally accurate and the feather didn't take the watercolor paint as easily as i was hoping, but i'm happy with it as a first attempt!

i don't have another pure white feather in my collection right now but as soon as i pick up another one i'll try again :]

#another problem i ran into is #in traditional painting i always use masking tape for like. EVERYTHING because my hands aren't steady enough to get clean edges #(i can never steady my hands enough for brushes. i can only work with pens tbh) #but i didn't want to risk taping the feather because i worried some of it would come off when i peeled it out #also because it's not a solid surface i'm sure the paint would bleed under the tape #my art #free palestine

I need to talk about a Pokémon Anime episode for a moment

So for some context:I stopped watching the Pokémon Anime years ago because it was going in a direction I didn't enjoy, but there was one moment that I was looking forward to see in it still; one of the ones I saw many others eagerly awaiting, because it would do the characters justice and it would be great and a good time!

I just watched the related episode and...

I've not felt so dissapointed and unsatisfied in probably ever.

Granted, it had some redeeming pieces, but not only was the bit many fans of one of the characters were looking forward to not a thing, the writing of the entire episode as a whole was a mess in terms of narrative and setups and payoffs just falling flat and left unaddressed.

Even ignoring the personal letdown, this didn't feel good watching. No mood buildup, commentary between characters felt awkwardly forced and lacking actual connections and the whole pacing felt...rough.

The closest I can compare this to is the ending of the Kirby anime and that one had an extremely valid IRL reason for being utterly disappointing. I have no idea what happened here, but I can only assume something must have gotten in the way for this too. (Either that or the writing and directing really has become that bad these days, I don't know. Again, it's been a while since I actually watched the Anime on a regular basis.)

To think I was upset about the episodes that introduced Riley/Gen way back when, because it glossed over the thing that EVERYONE wanted to know more about sneakily... But those episodes were still good and strong and hat a functional plot.

This episode had...a few good moments from the character it introduced, I guess? The problem it set up wasn't even set up properly, but it was addressed and... Well the episode said it was solved? It wasn't actually solved at all, neither of the characters involved in it really...learned anything or gained anything or made it a focus despite that apparently being the major point here or just...I dunno, anything? And the emotional aspect of it was also just as quickly forgotten as it was brought up; not solved or further addressed, nothing. Even the big fight that took up most of the episode and that we were told was really, really important didn’t actually feel important. I can think of more than a few battles in the past with much lower stakes that felt ten times more important than this one. So in short... I want from “OMG, I didn’t know the series was far enough, the episode is out, I can’t wait to see this!” to “Every part of my soul that is either Pokémon Fan, Anime Fan, Writer or all of the above is unhappy.”

#Pokemon #Anime #Writing #I don't want to say which epiosde because spoilers or something #Also I really hope that someone out there still got to enjoy it #Because I sure didn't #YOU HAD ONE JOB! #I know I always say I prioritiese characters over plot and I DO but #seriously why was this so bad #it could have been awesome #it SHOULD have been awesome

Prompt 118

Everyone is freaking out. The titan tower was broken into, no signs of who it was, and Tim- Robin- is missing. There’s blood on the walls, taunting them, implying that Tim is going through agony, and they can’t deal with another dead Robin, they can’t- 

Meanwhile Tim is bemused, maybe a little concussed because that would explain things maybe, as he’s found himself in a living room full of books and there’s a pair of kids too? One is straight up adoption bait- wait no there’s three, with two of them being adoption bait and the third being a redhead. There’s a trio of small children there already playing by the couch he’s been bundled into. 

Where the heck is his mask- or his bo staff or any of his supplies- is that the fucking Red Hood?! No, couldn’t be, must be the concussion, because why would the Red Hood be feeding him a bowl of soup?

#prompts #dcxdp #dpxdc #Jason found lil tiny fenton siblings before he started some of his attacks #Pit latched on just as much as he did #He's a broody halfa whose ghost logic is that Tim is also his baby now #Baby took/shares his Name so therefor is part of his Fright #Is Jason a tad feral? Maybe #Are the rest of them twice as feral? #Oh definitely #Tim might have a concussion and is very confused because last thing he saw was red #Don't worry he didn't get beat up #The blood was a mixture of human and animal #The Pit when Jason is thrown in: Omg a baby #The Pit: My baby now let's go make sure you're healthy by scaring the humans and havin fights #Jason: *confused halfa noises* #Jason: I am an adult but also baby but not too baby to not adopt these smaller babies #De-aged Fenton siblings with only bursts of memories: Yeah that seems about right #Concussed Tim: But I already avoided adoption before.... :(

I think the downright most horrific and brutal detail in the show is that Kilgharrah actually used Merlin to make sure Arthur's death happened with the pretence of protecting him

#kilgharrah when i catch you #this is why merlins “ i failed? ” destroyed me to my core #you were never supposed to succeed love #I honestly believe Kilgharrah knew Arthur was supposed to die at Camlaan and just wanted to make sure he didn't die BEFORE that #thats why he was like ooh but Merlin you must protect him and make sure he survives ( until its the convenient time) #and merlin genuinely thought he could protect Arthur until the end #say what you want about Kilgharrah and what his intentions might be behind this but this is SO FOUL #and now Merlins waiting for Arthurs return for a thousand years on Kilgharrah's word alone because thats the only hope he has #what else can he do #lets just hope he's right this time #bummed my self out with this thought while doing my class work #merlin #bbc merlin #merthur #cannot take much more of this guys send help
