his tongue 👅
Tumblr media
YES. This man and his tongue.
What That Tongue Do?
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female Reader Summary: Bucky doesn't get why you're attracted to an actor who plays him in another world, but he's happy to remind you what his tongue can do. Word Count: Over 1.4k Warnings: Multiverse discussion, Sebastian Stan and his tongue, d/irty talk, implied o/ral (f. and m. receiving), jealousy, humor, Bucky Barnes (yep, he's a warning) A/N: It's Sebastian Stan's birthday and this is my take on Bucky discovering his existence. And for the Bucks and Noble server, a quick position mention. Hehe. ❤️ Not beta read and written on my phone, so any and all mistakes are my own. Please follow @navybrat817-sideblog for new fics and notifications. Comments, reblogs, feedback are loved and appreciated!

“I don’t like him.”
You chortled as you turned in your chair to face Bucky, amusement twinkling in your eyes as his nostrils flared. “Why don’t you like him? That’s you. Well. Kind of. His name is Sebastian Stan.”
Bucky honestly couldn’t remember at this point if Tony had played around with something or if Wanda joined in and tampered with an experiment, but the monitors showcased what they were told were different versions of themselves in various worlds and dimensions. And you, his girlfriend, zeroed in on the screen where some punk who admittedly looked similar to him couldn’t stop showing his tongue and licking his lips.
Everyone else left quickly after that.
Does this guy have an oral fixation or is he a slut? Not that I would shame him if he is, but I don’t like how you keep looking at it.
“That is not me,” he stated, crossing his arms with a defiant glare. Had it been his old metal arm instead of the upgraded vibranium one, the distinct “whir” sound would’ve filled the room from how hard he clenched his fingers. “He’s a punk.”
“Steve is a punk. Seb is an actor,” you corrected him.
“Oh, it’s ‘Seb’ now. The punk has a nickname.”
“He is not a punk,” you giggled, the sound bringing a small smile to his face before he raised a lip at the screen.
I know punks and he’s a fucking punk. He can’t fool me. He looks shorter than I am. Why does his hair look so good after a fight? That’s not realistic. I have to admit, they got the likeness of the arm pretty close. Wait, do I make those facial expressions? Why are you smiling at his nose crinkle?
“His tongue is out. AGAIN. I swear he’s doing it on purpose,” he snarled when your head whipped back toward the monitor. “Seriously?! You’re looking?!”
“Only because he looks like you, Bucky!” you said innocently, facing him again. There was nothing innocent about it. The moment that guy’s fucking tongue moved, you clenched your thighs together. The only one he wanted you to do that for was him. “And like I didn’t hear you groan when you saw the Earth 314 version of me.”
That is not the same because I don’t love her. I love you.
“Fine. So, he’s an actor,” he grumbled as you got up and did your best to block out the view of the faces behind you. “And he ‘plays’ me?”
“Yeah, he does. In that world, James Buchanan Barnes, and pretty much everyone here that you know, are comic book characters brought to life. He plays you in the movies. Oh, they made a show, too. About you and Sam.”
What kind of world is that?
“Sam and I in a show together? That would never work.”
“It does in their world,” you said, touching his cheek and bringing his attention back to you and your loving smile. “Stop giving the television that death stare, please? Those monitors are shutting down in the next few minutes and we’ll never see those faces again.”
“Please. You think Stark didn’t find a way to keep that Earth’s video on a loop to taunt me at any given moment?”
Things were better between Bucky and Tony after what happened in Siberia, but the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, according to the actor who portrayed him, liked to give him hell from time to time. It was usually in good fun. Usually.
“So, I shouldn’t tell you it’s Sebastian Stan’s birthday today?” you asked, sucking your lips in as you tried not to giggle.
His nostrils flared again as he took a breath. He was a war hero. The former Winter Soldier turned Avenger. He was not about to be jealous of some actor in another dimension that you’d never see. “Why do you know that?”
“Because the information is right there,” you said, pointing over your shoulder. You had the decency to not turn around. “He was born on August 13th, 1982, in Constanta, Romania and he-”
Your eyes widened as Bucky gently shoved two vibranium fingers into your mouth, pushing them deep enough to make you pause. “Stop talking about the man who can’t keep his fucking tongue in his mouth.”
With a moan, you wrapped your mouth tighter around the digits and bobbed your head. You already choked on him once today. Maybe you’d do it again. Seeing that guy with the bright blue eyes though, he wanted to give you a firm reminder of what he could do to you with his tongue.
Why lust after him when you have me to worship you?
“Why do you like it so much?” he asked as his fingers slipped free.
You began to laugh before he tilted your head to kiss your neck, the sound shifting to a moan. “I don’t like his tongue, Bucky. I like yours.”
“Not good enough,” he murmured against your skin, trying to go slow when he was two seconds away from ripping your clothes off and bending you over the console. “I need you to love my tongue.”
“I do,” you whined, palming him through his pants. “Love when you get it nice and deep, just like your cock. Or when you thrust your fingers in and flick my clit with the tip of your tongue. Make me drip until I’m practically a puddle and you still don’t stop.”
“You and that fucking mouth,” he groaned, laying you back as best as he could and sliding your skirt up. The growing stain on your panties made him twitch and he told himself it had nothing to do with the actor who played his part well. It was all him.
“Remember the last time you ate me out?” you asked, biting your lip as he slid your soaked underwear down your legs. As much as he wanted to shove them in your mouth because he loved making you taste yourself, he didn’t want to smother a single sound. “You had me ride your face and it wasn’t enough. You spun me around after the first orgasm and kept your tongue inside when I got my mouth on your cock.”
That position deserves more attention.
“It’s never enough. I always want more,” he said, taking in the glistening lips of your pussy as he glanced down at what belonged to him and licking his lips as he ran a finger along the slit. “If you could eat yourself out, you’d understand why I love being buried between your thighs.”
“I’ll settle for your cock,” you said as he sank to his knees, a shuddering breath leaving your body. “And I’ll also settle for your tongue first.”
“Should make you beg for it,” he said in a low voice, taking a long lick and groaning at your taste. Sweet and a bit tangy, a hint of your essence coating his taste buds and daring him to have more. “Should slap this pretty pussy and remind you exactly who it belongs to.”
“It’s yours. It blelongs to you, Bucky. James Buchanan Barnes. No one else,” you said, your hand shooting out to grip his long hair and twist the stands. “Get your tongue or your cock in me. I’m begging you.”
Bucky smirked, watching your hole clench around nothing. He’d fill you up the way you need. “That’s my good girl. Gonna make a mess all over this. Might make you lick it up when we’re finished.”
“Not to interrupt?” Steve’s voice rang out over the room speaker as Bucky gripped your thighs. “But I think the speaker is on and we can kind of hear everything?”
And you’re telling us now?!
“Stark has bet me twenty bucks that your lady will call out Sebastian’s name when you bring her to orgasm,” Thor chimed in. “Just so you know, my friend, I have the utmost faith that you will please her.”
You let go of Bucky’s hair to cover your mouth, your body shaking with laughter when he growled.
Of course, I fucking will.
“Make it forty bucks, Point Break. Ha. Bucks. Bucky. Yeah, get to it.”
“You heard the man,” you said through your laughter, not at all embarrassed by the commentary. “Get to it.”
Taking one last look at Sebastian’s face on the screen, Bucky smiled in determination and did exactly that.

the art of craving | pt.1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's easy to feel like you're floating on the clouds when you're near them, it's easy to have them right under your grasp and feel as if they are yours, but why does it feel as if the more you crave them, the more it all seems to fall down?
alternatively, you're a fluffer, irrevocably in love with the seven you work with and it's hard to navigate through your feelings when your hearts are fluttering messes in the presence of each other.

"Cut! Stop filming right now." Namjoon's voice echoed in the studio, making everyone freeze in their spots. The lights were switched off, the film was paused, and breaths hitched, waiting for the next words of the director.
Namjoon was a perfectionist, known to be one of the strictest directors in his line of work. On set, he was a force to be reckoned with, leaving everyone grumpy with how commandeering he could be. It was maybe how the actor’s face had been angled, or how the squelchy sounds of sex appeased his ears, or that one time when the male actor had been way too soft for his liking- he wanted things to go his way, and his way demanded the utmost precision. 
It was a shock to him when the three of his best stars’ performances were sub-par. 
Misha, the female porn star, had her jaw unhinged, saliva falling from her mouth, black lines of mascara dripping down her face from when she had strained her mouth to take in Taehyung's cock; while Jin, who was pounding her from behind stopped, retreating his hands from her hips, both men slowly pulling out as carefully as they could.
The slick sound that accompanied it was uncomfortable, but it was nothing the people on the set hadn't experienced. The actors slowly moved away from each other's sweaty and cum-covered bodies, waiting just like the others in the studio.
Hoseok and Yoongi were quick on their feet, rushing to hand very expensive silk robes and chilled waters to each of the cast, dabbing their faces with fresh towels. It was important to make sure they looked fresh for each cut, but not enough for it to be evident to the consumer that they did in fact cut the scene in the middle.
Namjoon stepped forward from his position behind the camera, Jungkook trailing behind quickly with a hardboard in his hands, struggling to keep all the papers in his grasp.
Namjoon’s aura was terrifying, especially to Jungkook who was anxious about everything related to said man. It’s as if Namjoon was the devil, controlling all the people in the room like pawns, but Namjoon didn’t think that way. He thought he just paid extra attention to detail, and sure, sometimes he did become angry but he expected everyone to meet standards, his standards.
The director pushed his glasses up with a strained look on his face, jaw clenching every second as he struggled to keep his calm. It was the thought about how imperfect the scene had been that left Namjoon in a fit of pique. He wasn't having a good day today, and to have to experience such a lackluster performance from the team dampened his mood further.
"This is a mess." He stated as soon as he got close enough to the three actors, taking in their tired forms with his equally dull eyes.
"Why? I thought everything was fine?" Misha started after handing her empty bottle to Yoongi, stepping forward with the robe loosely tied around her bare skin.
She looked ethereal without a doubt. Even with fresh streaks of black on her face, her face exuded sensuality, and her body was curved in just the right places for her to garner a relatively large base of loyal fans who were charmed by the way she could get them aroused with just a flutter of her eyes. 
"Wait. Someone get ___ from upstairs first." He declared to no one in particular, but the job would be done soon. He had the power, and he knew it. He smirked when he heard thudding on the stairs. The set was quiet enough for him to listen to the labored breathing of the unfortunate man racing to get to the first floor. No one disobeyed Namjoon.
"I'll be there in two minutes!" Your sweet voice called out from the floor above, making the men in the studio anticipate your arrival, shivers spreading down their spines.
"Okay, first of all, you guys are doing a girlfriend-boyfriend roleplay. It’s supposed to be romantic, just a little bit lovey-dovey, yeah? And you guys look like you’re having a one-night stand.” Namjoon sighed. 
“Wait- but- the people said they wanted rougher stuff. Go check the comments on Tanhub.” Taehyung countered with an exasperated look on his face.
“I know, and that shooting is scheduled for next week,” And Taehyung shut his mouth. “Anyways, Misha, you look disinterested, and your moaning sounds very forced; genuinely enjoy it, yeah? And you guys look like you are hammering a rabbit with your dicks." Namjoon turned to look at Misha's fucked out face and then at the two men who looked disgusted at the director's comment.
"Tell me that when you don't have a dick as big as Taehyung's down your throat. It's not even my fault, my throat wasn't warmed up properly, and I'm just not in the mood." She grumbled in reply, crossing her arms over her chest. 
"Alright, we will do something about that. Is Misha's fluffer on set?" A trembling Jungkook stepped forward from the shadows, cowering under his boss's gaze. He immediately shuffled through the schedule papers in his hands, coming up with nothing, and then he saw you skipping down the stairs.
His gaze was stuck on your form, wearing the shortest pair of shorts he had ever seen on anybody, your ass cheeks falling out and jiggling deliciously with every step you took their way. You hadn't gone easy on them with your crop top either. The cut dipped down all the way from your collarbone, showing off your sternum. The sides of your supple breasts were visible for their eyes to feast on, and boy did they appreciate the sight.
"You called me Mr. Kim?" You chirped, looking over all the people on the floor before your gaze landed on the tallest man in the room.
"Hi Princess, Misha's fluffer didn't come in today?" He smiled, and your heart fluttered. 
"No. Jihoon did, but he left a while back because there was an emergency. He told me to tell you, but since you were in your element, I didn't."
Namjoon’s thick lips parted in a sigh, his hand going to ruffle his hair in exasperation.
"Okay, we will figure something out for Misha; how about you go help Jin and Taehyung till then? We'll resume after a break, everyone be back in 20."
"Alright! Let’s go!" You chirped with a grin, happy to spend time with some of your favorite people. Said men were quick to grab each of your hands, rushing you to one of the empty corners of the studio, covered with flimsy curtains, where they could have their privacy with you.
Though their jobs required them to be exposed in front of the camera, showing off all their assets, they still preferred to keep something to cover themselves up. it definitely worked in their favor when you would trail your hands over their muscular thighs, lightly scratching with your fingertips to keep them worked up.
That being said, they didn't need you to ‘fluff’ them up; your presence was enough to have them turned on for days, but there was something in the way you looked at them, touched them with the lightest yet most sinful hands that made them groan in pleasure and want more, more even after fucking a woman just moments before.
It was something you did, or rather you that had them weak in their knees.
"Hi Tae, Jin! How have you guys been?" You smiled.
Their breaths quickened when they saw you drop to the floor and tie your hair up in a ponytail, your top riding up even further and revealing the tattoo under your breasts to them.
It was a simple flower vine, the blank ink spread from your sideboob all the way under the curve, but to this day, being able to see so much of you felt like a dream despite having known you for two years now.
It certainly had an effect on them, one which you were not oblivious to. You knew them enough to understand when they were really enjoying themselves and when they weren't. Their moans from before left a sour taste in your mouth- they weren't authentic or the low, deep groans you had the pleasure of hearing every once in a while. They were forced and intermittent, and you knew it was time to change into your sexiest, most revealing clothes to make them shift in their seats.
It was the moment you had been waiting for a long time.
"Hi, ___," Taehyung mumbled, his fiery gaze fixed on you.
Having you here right now, in such a compromising position, in front of their chairs, was a bad mistake. Your job was to keep them hard during breaks but it didn't help that they had had a crush on you since the moment they saw you walking down the set timidly on your first day as a fluffer.
Though it was probably them who spent the most time with you, this intimately, this passionately. And hearing the boys whine every second of the day about their lack of you only made them grateful for the few moments you spent with them on workdays. 
And it’s not like the others understood how it took all they had in them not to bust a nut; although they longed to cover your tits with their seed, they would have to wait for another day to indulge in such possessions. It was another level of self-control that they had edged themselves for hours to get to.
"Can I touch you now?" You gazed at them with longing eyes, and they were immediately nodding their heads.
"Thank you."
You dipped your hands under their robes, getting a feel of their calves and then their muscular thighs, not too fast, caressing the soft yet tense skin with a grin on your face. You didn't have it in you to look them in their eyes, you knew it would make you want to submit under their dominant gazes, so you kept your eyes fixed on your hands.
With a shaky breath, you begin to inch them up, teasing them. Their hearts began palpitating in their chests the more you got closer to their cocks. They knew what you were doing, they had played the game with you every time. But after a very uneventful work day, they were horny, patience wearing off every second.
"I suggest you stop teasing, baby. Don't make me get Jimin over here." Jin clicked his tongue in annoyance.
You shifted on your knees. It was your job to tease them. To keep them ready, not enough for them to cum. Jimin, your supervisor, had told you to do the same. How could you disobey his direct orders?
"Your job is to tease, ___, not to make them orgasm. Make them crave you. Use your mouth or your hands, it doesn't matter; as long as they stay hard enough to continue, you get paid." He had told you at the time of your job briefing, grazing his fingers over his thighs, which you couldn't help but gawk at.
You didn't understand what bringing Jimin here could do except for making your day even better. You imagined he would, in fact, just sit there and monitor you with hooded eyes, his legs spread wide enough for you to be able to steal a glance at his erection.
But you were sure it was just your horny mind speaking.
So you ignored their words, feeling your breath start to quicken, lust coursing through your veins from how excited you were to disobey them. It was the thrill of breaking the rules that made blood rush all over your body. They couldn't punish you even if you wanted them to, it was all a part of a job- your job as their fluffer, as much as you hated to admit it.
You rub your palms over them with a feathery touch, wanting to make them wait for you. It was a sight to behold- the two twitching in their seats, and moaning for you. Their cocks were still covered by the silk robe, enticing you to touch them and lick them. Though you could see the outline clearly, it didn't satisfy the hunger in your throat, it never did, so you removed it.
And the sight would always leave you dumbstruck.
Taehyung's was, by far, the longest cock you had ever seen and tasted. His thick cock that twitched under your eager eyes, laid on his abs, long fingers rubbing his chin as if he was deep in thought. He was almost easily seven inches long, and you always commended anyone who had the power to manage an entire shoot with him.
Jin, on the flip side, was equally impressive, if not more. Though his length was maybe an inch shorter than Taehyung's, his girth made up for it. You were sure of the pleasurable burn it would provide when it split open a pussy, massaging the walls like no one else could. His thrusts were harsh and powerful too, thanks to his impeccable hips, and you never understood how one can be so perfect.
As you continued practically gawking over them, your cunt heating in your panties, it was Jin whose resolve finally broke and he grabbed your hand that was fisted in his robe and pulled you towards him in a swift motion. Your knees scraped against the ground uncomfortably, but that was the least of your worries when you saw the need in Jin's eyes.
You gazed at him with startled eyes, your mouth itching to ask if you did something wrong. Jin had his hand wrapped around the base of his cock, his leaking slit smearing his precum all over your reddened lips. You could taste a mixture of Misha's sweet pussy juices and his cum on your tongue, and that ignited a fire in your veins.
"Sweetie, put your mouth over his cock right now; you do not want to disobey us," Taehyung growled under his breath, his hands moving to undo his robe and grasp his cock tightly.
“But what about you?” You asked.
“Don’t worry about me, ___; you have no idea about the effect you have on me." His stare pierced into your eyes as he spoke. 
You flushed but complied immediately, parting your lips and taking him in your mouth. Hollowing your cheeks just the right amount as you take him in. All nervousness left your body the second you felt the weight of his cock on your tongue, it felt like it belonged there, heavy and warm. His cock was long enough to hit the back of your throat easily and thick enough to make your jaw throb with pain increasingly every second, but it was all a part of your wonderful job.
"You look so pretty with your lips around my cock." Jin let out a pleasurable sigh at the feeling, your nails digging into his thighs at the praise, your tongue swirling around his tip, and he let his head fall back. Your eyes were closed due to the strain, but every sharp inhale and moan and sigh you heard was a reward, and you clenched your empty hole, wanting nothing more for him to fuck you.
With a pop, you removed your mouth from his cock, taking in deep breaths. You looked up at him only to see him staring down at you with lust-lidded eyes, his breathing heavy like yours. You were taken aback when his hand moved to grip yours, long fingers interlocking with yours and wrapping them around his thick cock and stroking it, sticky sounds amplifying in your ear. 
You struggled to keep your eyes on his, feeling bashful under his stare, so you wrapped your lips around his tip again, licking his tip and coating it with your saliva. With his chest reverberating in a deep groan, you felt your panties starting to stick to your core uncomfortably. You gasped when his hand left yours, and you stopped yours too, wanting to ask him why. But you couldn’t when his hand pushed your head down on his cock in one go, his tip hitting the back of your throat.
"That's a good fucking girl. F-Fuck, baby, you feel so good!" He growled, the thrust of his hips starting to increase in pace, as you stopped bobbing your head up and down and let him take control of you. You gagged with every thrust when the tip of his cock hit the back of your throat, bruising the flesh of your mouth, but you wanted it. 
With each thrust, you moaned around him, hearing him curse and groan above you. You were so lost in the intoxicating feeling of his cock hitting the back of your throat; you couldn't make out when his length throbbed in your mouth or when his balls tightened, filling with his cum, or when he released the deepest growl you ever heard and spilled his hot cum in your mouth.
Jin knew he shouldn’t do it,knew it was bad, knew it would get him in trouble with Namjoon later. But seeing the girl of his dreams on her knees, sucking his cock with the warmest and most tempting mouth he had ever had the pleasure of fucking, was far too much for him to control, so maybe it was okay to let go, he decided. 
"Fuck, baby, so fucking good for us, gonna make you mine one day! Fuck!" He hummed under his breath. You couldn't hear him over the loud, slick noises of your drooling saliva and his cum, whimpering at the taste of his hot seed coating your tongue- sweet like honey with hints of citrus, a flavor you could easily get addicted to.
"Shit, baby, you're milking my cock! F-fuck!" He continued riding out his high, not caring that the shoot would have to be prolonged. You let him have it after weighing your options after the hazy feeling in your mind disappeared; the only thing you could do was wait for him to get hard again. He continued bobbing your head up and down, swallowing thickly at the sight of you looking fucked out and dizzy after just giving a blowjob.
Some cum dripped down from your mouth and on his shaft, and you darted your tongue out to lick it. Dragging the muscle as slowly as you could over his length, you gave it small kitten licks, rolling your tongue back into your mouth to taste him with your eyes shut closed. You sighed, finally feeling full and hearty.
A deep groan on your left side caught your attention. Taehyung was sitting with his legs spread wide in his chair, forehead glistening with sweat, and was busy rubbing his thumb over his slit that oozed precum, the sight inviting you to wrap your lips around his cock.
You were tempted to suck him dry the same way you had milked Seokjin, but you couldn’t make the same mistake again. It would be unprofessional of you to make him cum; it always had been to wind them up, but never to bring them relief. 
"Having fun here, aren’t we?" You turned your head, jumping in alarm at the presence of an all too familiar voice in your little corner, the curtains already back in their place.
Curse your weak heart for jumping up in a mix of emotions because of Jimin’s voice, both good and bad. 
There had never really been any set professional boundaries between you all, even from the day he had interviewed you for this job. It had always been a mixture of seductive looks from said men, shy glances from you, and sexual tension that was almost suffocating. Neither had the guts to finally make a move, but you couldn’t deny how your heart palpitated in your chest whenever you were in their presence.
You only hoped the feelings were reciprocated, and not just a result of lust. 
It probably affected Namjoon the most how you were always near, yet never seemed to be in his grasp. Still, he liked to maintain his distance from a professional stand, but he too was in the same predicament as you: down bad but scared. 
You couldn’t see the way Taehyung smirked at the fury in Namjoon’s eyes, who squeezed in next to Jimin in the tiny space, pushing down the small bit of empathy he felt for the man. 
“Tsk, is this what I hired you for, ___? Hmm?” Jimin’s condescending tone brought you back to earth and then punched you ten feet under.
You could feel the dread set in with every step your way, and a thousand scenarios ran in your head. Would you be fired, suspended, or worse, replaced? Someone else taking your position made you want to gag. The mere thought of it was bad enough, but what if it actually happened? 
They were right. You had one job, one, yet you couldn’t do it right. The self-hatred started before another word was uttered in the room and you could already feel your eyes burn with unshed tears and the tip of your nose become itchy, a telltale sign of what was to come. 
“You made Jin cum, didn’t you?” 
“Jimin, stop.” Namjoon finally spoke up, feeling the teasing atmosphere turn damp.
“I thought you would be better at this.” 
“Jimin, I said stop.” 
As if sensing the way you stopped moving and just turned your head downwards, covering your face using the length of your hair, with your hands having retreated to your sides as if touching any of them burnt your skin, Jin shoots a sharp glare in their direction. He fisted his hands, feeling worse by the minute, but not knowing what to do. Should he comfort you, rub your back, hope with everything in his being that you weren't actually upset at their teasing tone?
One, breathe in.
Five, hold it. 
Seven, control your emotions.
Nine, breathe out.
You did not know how much time passed by as you kept breathing in and out, but once you did regain a grip on yourself, you got up from your knees, ignoring the way your muscles shouted in protest. You didn’t hear them gasp at the way your form trembled for a second, both in fear and embarrassment, before stilling. 
“I’m sorry Mr. Park, Mr. Kim, we got lost in the heat of the moment. It won’t happen again.” You looked them in the eye as you spoke.
But in all honesty, you didn’t know what you were apologizing for. Were you sorry you made Jin feel good, or that you somehow prolonged the shoot, or was it because it went against the terms of your job? You couldn’t pinpoint it but you felt slightly disappointed in yourself, yet you didn’t show it as much as you thought you would.
“Will you both be okay for the next 10 minutes like this? I’ll go to Misha.” You asked the two men who wore confusion on their faces.
You looked at them again, bowing lightly before making your way out of the stall the very next second, making your way to Misha’s usual place with shaky legs, the surge of confidence wearing down by the second.
After having been subjected to praises and sweet words of affection, this was a punch in the gut to say the least, and maybe that’s why you were overreacting. It’s really easy to cross the line from playful to not, and that was what happened.
“Oh, ___! Hey, I was looking for you. Misha was calling you, if you don’t mind?” Jeongguk rubbed the back of his neck nervously, shifting on his feet nervously. As if you could really say no to his adorable face.
“Yeah, I was just going there. Thanks for letting me know.” You patted his elbow lightly.
“Yeah…” He mumbled, dazed, as he watched you make your way to Misha. If heart eyes were a person, it would definitely be Jeon Jeongguk.
“___! My favorite girl.” Misha exclaimed as you made your way inside her ‘cabin’.
In reality, it was just a small broom closet, cleaned to perfection and decorated with neutral tones, with small pots of green scattered here and there in a futile attempt to brighten up the place. 
“Misha, hello.” You mumbled as you sat on the floor in front of her on your knees, lips parting in an inaudible wince at the feeling.
“Here, baby.” She removed a pillow from her side and put it below your knees, watching as you blushed slightly before moving closer to her.
“Not your baby.” You retorted, spreading her legs gently and pushing your head to the crevice between her thighs. Your nose met her clit, the woman above you letting out a small moan at the stimulation. Your hands gripped her thighs, rubbing small circles there with your thumbs.
“But you could be.” She chuffed, making you bite down on her clit lightly.
“Okay, okay! Slowly, baby, don’t go too hard, alright?” By now you knew that her tone was essentially a code word signifying her want to be worshiped, treated like a goddess, and taken time to properly arouse, love and lick.
The smell of her pussy was the sweetest candy you have ever tasted on a woman. You darted the tip of your tongue out, licking at her clit, slowly. Tasting her juices, watching as it elicited a soft sigh from her. It had been a long time since you ate her out, but she tasted the same as ever. You angled your head into her folds, nudging her legs further apart.
“Taste good?” She mumbled, her voice seductive and inviting, combing through your hair. An outsider may have just thought you two were lovers by the sheer passion of it all.
“Hmm. More.” You whimpered with your eyes closed, continuing to savor her at your own pace.
With shaky hands, you pried her thighs apart, gaining better access to her cunt. You immediately lapped at her clit, drawing ‘eights’ with the tip of your tongue before wrapping your mouth around it and sucking it into your mouth. A groan left her mouth, and you could feel her hand clench at her side before it came down to guide your tongue into her hole.
With need coursing through your veins, you thrust your tongue into her tight hole, still continuing with your slow pace. Her scent was stronger now; you almost felt drunk on it. 
You heard the door open, but you were too far gone into your actions that everything seemed to be a blur except for your desire to taste the woman. You could feel her motions on your hand stop and you whined. A beat of silence ensued before she was continuing with her tender motions and you were back to lazily licking at her wetness.
The same clicking sound was heard again and Misha placed her hand on your cheeks, moving your body upwards to her, placing your head in the crook of her neck as you shivered. She ignored your protests, cooing at the pout on your face before guiding you towards her lips. You lapped at them hungrily, like a woman starved of the simple pleasure of warmth.
Misha pulled you away from her far too quickly for your liking, caressing your cheeks and shushing you lightly. “Baby, baby, baby, what’s gotten into you today? You aren’t usually so placid. Tell me, I’ll make it better.” 
You ignored her, moving towards the dip of her chest, before shaking your head.
“___, tell me.” She spoke, a little more aggressive than you could have handled in your state of mind, 
“Don’t be mean.” You pouted.
“Then tell me what’s wrong.”
“I made Jin cum and I think Mr. Park is mad at me.” You whispered your worries to her.
“Oh, shit. Uh wow. Did he scold you or call you to his room after or… anything at all? Are you in trouble?”
“No, he didn’t, but his tone was like,” You struggled to find the right words. “When you make fun of me when you see me trip over the cables in the main room. I still don’t like it when you do that.” 
“And you think I’m mocking you when I do that?” Misha questioned, to which you nodded your head.
“Oh my god.” She whispered under her breath. “Silly girl, I don’t make fun of you when I say that. It’s adorable that you are clumsy sometimes. You look around with those terrified eyes of yours, when actually many of us already saw you trip.”
“Are you freaking kidding me? Everyone saw that? How am I gonna show my face to them now?” You threw your hands around, exasperated at the revelation. 
She chuckled before bringing your attention back to her. “See, you’re so cute. Now, back to what we were discussing. I wouldn’t be afraid if I were you, ___. Really, just trust me on this one.”
“But why? Gimme a reason at least!” 
“I’m older, I’ve seen the ways of the world more than you have, so shut your pretty mouth up and listen.” You immediately zipped your mouth, waiting patiently for her next words.
“Boys are icky but you do you, baby. If Mr. Park indeed got mad, and he confronts you or whatever, repeat the exact same words I’m gonna tell you, alright?” 
You nod, anticipation heavy in your eyes.
“Tell him to go suck his own dick and hope he chokes on his cum.” 
A terrified gasp and maniacal laugh were heard simultaneously in the room.
“Misha! Are you crazy? Is this your villain arc or something? I’d get fired in an instant.” 
“Hey, babe, you never know what that sneaky little shit is into, okay? I’m just very inclusive to all tastes and preferences.” She had the audacity to wink at you.
“Yeah, Misha, no. As much as I love you, you’re fucking crazy.” 
“Aww, you love me? I’m a pile of mush now, save me!” She squished your cheeks in her hand, pecking the skin peaking out softly.
“Misha- oh,” You heard Yoongi’s voice in the room, dying down towards the end. “Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb the two of you.” His tone turned gruff at the end.
“Nah, it’s cool. I was just about to come out anyway.” She shot you a cheeky smile and helped you get up from your frozen state, pushing you down on the sofa before walking out with Yoongi on her tail.
“See you later, babe.” 
“Jimin, what the actual fuck did you do? Did you have to be so condescending?”
“I wasn’t trying to! It just came out like fucking word vomit!” Jimin grumbled, holding his head in his hands like a man defeated.
“Well, thank you for messing everything up. How do you suppose we rectify this, you brat?” Jin scoffed, fighting the urge to snap.
“I don’t know. I really don’t.” 
“Now, you morons, I will be calling in for a favor and y’all better be grateful that our girl doesn’t slip from our hands before we have even treated her right.” 
“What are you going on about?” Namjoon mumbled, rolling his eyes at another one of Jin’s stupid schemes. 
“You’ll see.”

Tumblr media
America
Every single woman who has dated Alfred F. Jones knows that although he loves to be the ”man in the relationship“ per se, he has a real thing for dominant women.
So every time you sat down to practice your lines, he stopped whatever he was doing. Just so he could watch with a lovesick, crooked smile.
(Plus, he really loves Mafia movies...)
You have every right to deny him, but he'd love to roleplay with you as that character. You can be the powerful mafia boss, while he's some eager-to-please subordinate. (Sometimes, those roleplays end up with a heated night, but surprisingly rarely!)
Also, he loves a woman who knows her way around a gun. He knows it's stupid, but he can't help it.
Alfred also really enjoys the attention you're getting.
On the one hand, it means you're finally being recognised for the talent he always knew was there! He loves seeing you so happy and successful…
On the other hand, it means you're a celebrity! Which means he's a celebrity! By association! A little!
It's a win-win scenario
Alfred really isn't a jealous person either. Seeing how other people talk about you doesn't make him uncomfortable or upset really, unless they cross a line obviously.
He really loves playing into how people see you online in public appearances. Always kneeling in front of you and stuff like that. (You know that Ken and Barbie pose from the new movie? That's how he's showing up to all your photoshoots.)
He has multiple photosets on his Instagram of you and him dressed up like characters from that piece of media specifically.
Basically, he’s a little obsessed…
Japan
Kiku is such a little fanboy about it, but he'd never say that out loud. He doesn't like it, but he does get something out of having a more domineering girlfriend. He's always had quite meek girlfriends, just like him, so it's a nice change of pace to have someone capable of that.
But as much as he gets all flustered when you pull out your character's intimidating voice, don't try roleplaying that in the bedroom. It makes him uncomfortable. Other than that? It's fine. Go ahead.
(He would also be up for giving you acting help. He's had to be a serious, dangerous individual many times in his life, and that was all pretend, so...)
He... doesn't like how people simp over you though.
Although he isn't typically a jealous man, seeing people talk about his girlfriend like that makes Kiku's skin crawl. Like, he's not possessive! But the fact that they're strangers just... freaks him out.
He also really doesn't appreciate the fame. Seeing people fawn over you in public makes him want to crawl into a little hole with you and never leave.
Every time you have a public appearance, he begs you to not mention him in any way.
Also, he totally defends your honours in comment sections all the time. If they ever get too... gross with it, he reports that person immediately and has to log off for the day. And hugs you. Because he can't stand seeing people treat his beloved like that.

Lee Dongwook A-Z | SFW
Pairing: Lee Dongwook X Reader
Requested by @blossombreezes:Hello 🤗 can I pls request a-z alphabet for Lee dongwook and kwak dongyeon? Thank you ❤️
A/n: i feel like i haven't written some for this man in forever! remember to reblog, comment, and give feedback! happy reading!
Tumblr media
A - Attractive: What do they find attractive about each other?
This may seem odd and not make sense, but he’s attracted to how normal you are. You’re not a celebrity and you don’t treat him any differently for being a celebrity. Something about being able to go home and just be your boyfriend Lee Dongwook and not famous actor Lee Dongwook make him irrationally happy. This man’s beliefs are what attracts you to him. Have you guys seen his thinking behind how house chores should be handled? You have a great partner here and being able to rely on him for the small things and have someone who genuinely tries to understand you and your emotions. 
B - Baby: Do they want a family?
100%! He does want this home and family unit that he gets to create with the other half of his soul (as the poets say). It may not be soon or even immediately after getting married, but he does want kids - preferably biological, but I do think he’d be down for adopting once he comes to realize that he’s more than capable of loving a child not of his own flesh and blood. 
C - Comfort: How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
I see Dongwook as someone who would give a good mixture of verbal and nonverbal comfort. He won’t pressure you to say anything and he won’t say anything that he feels will be insincere or cliche. He wants to be honest with you and give you his entire attention in those moments so you know you are not alone.
D - Dates: What are dates with him like?
They are very lowkey and super natural/normal. He wants to be comfortable and not really draw attention, so most are at home or at small local restaurants that no one would even think to look for him in. Now that’s not to say he doesn’t ever take you to more public and fancy places because he does…quite often actually. He just prefers to have someplace that isn’t overbearing for either of you and where you can truly be yourselves. 
E - Equal: Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?
I’m gonna say equals here, but I feel like he does lean more to the dominant side more often than not. It’s not a bad thing though. You are well respected and loved.
F - Feelings: When did they know they were in love?
He knew when he realized he was actively envisioning a future with you. I don’t mean like in one month blahblahblah. I mean he was envisioning the two of you growing old and shit. Like bickering over who was the better grandparent because you would be the fun one and he’d be more strict. For you, it’d be when you realized just how much of the real you you were showing to him. There wasn’t a facade or a mask to hide behind because you didn’t want to and he didn’t give you a single reason to. 
G - Gratitude: How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?
Man knows and praises you for it. It’s not easy to be with a man like him and in his profession and early on he wondered how long it would be before you got tired and called it quits. When you not only stayed, but actively tried to lighten his load during more taxing projects he was incredibly appreciative of and swore he’d do the same when you had a heavier load from work.
H - Honesty: Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?
Brutally honest and incredibly secretive. There is no inbetween. He’s very blunt when telling you things sometimes, other times, he’s beating around the bush or just not saying a word. He’s trying though.
I - Inspiration: Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?
It’s a mixture of both. You are both actively changing and inspiring one another to do better both personally and professionally. There’s an inspiration to find new ways of doing things in your lives and venturing out, but also find time to work on yourself individually. I think the biggest thing here is learning to rely on others (for both of you).
J - Jealousy: Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
Yes, but more so in a healthy way than a possessive way if that makes sense. Like he expresses it to you in a very civil manner not wanting to come off as overbearing but wanting his feelings to be validated and out there. When I say you guys are mature I mean you guys are mature.
K - Kiss: Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?
The answer will always be yes. The first kiss was so insanely intimate, but free? Like it felt right and natural to be doing, but also forbidden for how short of a time you two had been dating to feel that good.
L - Love Confession: How would they confess to their s/o?
He just straight up tells you. He’s not going to waste any time or risk being misunderstood. He will tell you and will be very serious about it to the point where there is no confusion about his feelings. 
M - Marriage: Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?
Yes, but again, like with kids, it’ll take some time before he does pop the question. He doesn’t want you to feel pressured, he wants you to want this as much as he does. He does put more thought into the proposal than his confession. It’ll happen at a place with sentimental value for the two of you (if it’s a public place he choses a more private area to pop the question). Marriage with him? A fucking dream. He’s so attentive and helps out with everything (mainly because he has a certain way of doing certain things, but hey, helps). He refuses to allow you to do more taxing/labor intensive chores. 
N - Nicknames: What do they call their s/o?
Him: Love, Darling, Babygirl (very, very rarely)
You: Mr. Fox, Wookie, 9 tails (iykyk)
O - On Cloud Nine: What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?
Not the most obvious, but still pretty obvious that there’s someone behind his mood changes (for the better may I add). He’s so attentive to you. Your wish is, and will always, be his command. I’m literally thinking of all the relationship headcanons for Nanamin Kento (from Jujutsu Kaisen) right now. I’m done now.
P - PDA: Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?
He doesn’t hide it, but he doesn’t flaunt it either. PDA is a big no in terms of kissing, but he doesn’t mind holding you close to him. 
Q - Quirks: Something you do that he loves
The way your eyes widen when you get really excited about something. So cute.
R - Romance: How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?\
Pretty romantic when he wants to be. I do think he tries to be more creative when he is and with what he does to make you happy. He wants those moments to really be special for the two of you. 
S - Support: Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?
He does his best and he really lets you know that he believes in you. He pushes you to your best and that your best is enough, even if others can’t see it.
T - Thrill: Do they need to try out new things to spice up your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?
Routine. I can’t see him deviating from much. There are certain aspects of the relationship where I believe he’d be more willing to be adventurous. 
U - Understanding: How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?
Incredibly empathic when he knows he can relate. He knows you probably better than you might think he does. He can be more silent sometimes and seem uninterested/uninvolved to others sometimes but man is INVESTED in you.
V - Value: How important is the relationship to them? What is it worth in comparison to other things in their life?
Very high value. He doesn’t want to lose it, and will fight for it. Literally. If for some reason you want out, he needs to know why. And not just a silly answer either. He wants details because he needs to know where he could’ve done things differently. 
W - Whole: How do they feel about you being in their life?
Alive and whole. Like home. There’s just this newfound love for everything.
X - Xylophone: What is your song?
Lee Hi - ONLY (fight me)
Y - Yearning: How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?
Does surprisingly well, but he checks in quite often just to make sure you’re doing well too. He can and will be on the phone until you fall asleep if he’s having a harder time though. 
Z - Zeal: Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?
He will go only as far as you will (sometime further when he realizes he needs to carry more of the weight because you need to focus on other things). It’s pretty balanced though.

Hispanism in OFMD
Hispanic representation in OFMD is very well done. I won’t say it’s the show that does it best because there are many other shows out there, but it certainly stands out. So I thought I would write something like a primer to appreciate the good work and maybe help with fic writing.  For each episode I’m transcribing (but not translating or it will be too long) all the Spanish, as well pointing fun things.
Episode 1
Olu: “Oye, te traigo comida”.
Kudos to Samson Kayo for his correct pronunciation. Too often, actors will mangle the Spanish to the point that it is unrecognizable or they will be so focused on making it sound right that they forget it should be acted. Samson delivers the line naturally.  
Spanish is weird in how one can address another person. There is formal (usted), informal (tú), archaic (vos, os) and the Argentinian brand (vos squared). Here they use the informal “tú” which is common in modern Spanish but still shows a certain degree of familiarity. In the 18 century this form would be extremely intimate. 
Episode 2
In the diary, left page, Jim writes “me asegure que el [h]ombre que mató a mi familia pagará con sangre”. There are some spelling mistakes, mostly accents, as well as the missing h-. Lovely detail. Jim is more literate than the rest of the crew, but still miles away from Lucius. It shows that while Jim received more education than most, it’s still lacking.  (For more on literacy check this post).
Diary, right page: “Día 28 a la fuga. Debido al alto precio de mi cabeza, estoy atrapado en este disfraz, en una prisión de mi propia creación. El pecio de la venganza es muy alto. Pero aquí estoy, al borde de la cordura, sudando hasta mis supuestos cojones.” Woa, so Jim speaks of themselves with –o which can be either masculine or neutral, rather than the –a for feminine. Interesting choice, when in the same paragraph they speak of their lack of balls. 
Episode 3
Lots of things in this episode! I’m putting most of Jim’s lines together and then explaining some stuff.
Jim: “Ese bastardito caught me unawares.”; “¡Cállate hombrecito!”; “Me tienes hasta el–” (this is said while Lucius begs not to go back to the trunk, so I can’t quite catch all of it).
Jim: “She did! Estaba ahí, clarita, on Stede’s stupid fucking nose!”; “You are pushing your luck, hombrecito!”; “Jiménez. ¿Qué pasa?”
 People focus a lot on the fact that Spanish is a gendered language (like all romance languages) but this isn’t such a defining trait. What really identifies Spanish is how much it likes to use suffixes to provided nuance.
(A suffix is a morpheme added at the end of the word to change its nature. Examples in English are the –s to make a plural or –tion to make a noun). Now Spanish gets all hot over suffixes. To give a quick example, if we take “rojo” (red) we can have: rojillo (small and affectionate), rojito (even more affectionate, maybe not so small), rojazo (very big or intense, not affectionate but not derisive), rojuzco (not nice, not complete), rojucho (not nice and possibly sick), rojeras (derisive while also affectionate, somehow).
Where am I getting with this? Jim consistently refers to Lucius as “hombrecito” and “bastardito” which is a mostly affectionate diminutive. This means that Jim doesn’t consider Lucius much of a threat, but also, out of all the suffixes options -ito is not one charged with contempt, far from it.  
“Bastardo” is not that common as an insult and it comes a bit soft (pendejo o cabrón would be more appropriate and much harsher) but it would be understood by English speakers. Since Jim is a Floridian it makes sense that they would have linguistic interferences. Later, Jim calls Alfeo “pendejo” which is much stronger, so, again, Jim refers to Lucius in the softest of terms while also insulting him.
 Jim’s name is Bonifacia Jiménez. Two things about this.
The name: Bonifacia is kind of an ugly lower class name that was never in fashion. Funnily enough, the male version is way more common than the female, although still not pretty. A baby would be named Bonifacio either because it runs in the family (to honor a grandparent or parent) or because it is the saint of the day they were born. In case anyone needs Jim’s birthday: June 5th.  
The surname: Jiménez, one I two E. You can find it as “Jimenes” sometimes, but never, ever, Jiminez. Spanish culture has always been very anxious about surnames so women never, ever, change their surname. In some contexts, if they married someone important, they might use something like: Name Surname of Husband’s surname (Bonifacia Jimenez de Boodhari) but they wouldn’t drop their own family name. Children receive both surnames (Father + Mother) and in everyday life they may use just one, to shorten things, but in legal documents they will use both. This is to say that we still don’t know Jim’s full name, we are missing their mom’s.
Beautiful detail: they included the accent over the –e- in the dagger’s carved handle. Jiménez.
 Whoever though of naming Jackie’s husband “Alfeo de la Vaca” is a genius. It sounds like a Spanish name, but it is not. Alfeo is close to Alfredo, an actual name, but by shortening it they underline the sound “el feo” (the ugly one). I have never seen “de la Vaca” (of the cow) as a surname, but there is “Vaca” and “Cabeza de vaca” (Cow’s head) so it doesn’t sound wrong. Altogether, Jackie married someone called Ugly from the Cow.
 Roach has Berber inspired tattoos. All sides of the Mediterranean have been in permanent contact with each other, but especially in the 17-18th centuries there was a lot of traffic of goods and people. I don’t want to type all the historical background, but it is pretty likely that Roach is familiar with Spanish culture, either because he has been in Spanish territories or because he has met Spanish communities in Turkish/Ottoman territory. The tapas are an accurate representation (although most Spaniards would say those are “pinchos” or “raciones” rather than tapas) up to the presentation itself, like the clay dish Geraldo holds. Stede is wrong: “tapas” does not mean little plates but “lids”.
 This is very trivial, but the word “pirate” entered relatively late in the Spanish lexicon. The Spanish soldier’s line (“así tratamos a los piratas”) echoes nicely with Alma’s line, but at the time Spaniards would’ve most likely say “corsarios”.
 Bald Soldier: “Filtry scum. Anda y vete a comerte una mierda por ahí.” (Wow, Don Bald Soldier, that was crass).
Jim: “Felicidades. Cara de culo”. Jim’s choice of insults is really something.
 The Spanish captain is Nacho Vigalondo, who directed this episode.
 Episode 4
Not much Spanish in this ep.
Ed’s assertion that the Spaniards die dramatically is probably right and God is mentioned often in common speech. However, in Spain (not so in Latin American where they have some semblance of piety and respect) it is very common to say “me cago en Dios” (I poo on God). I love to think that what Ed took as cries of “I beg to God” included some “I poop on God”.
 Jim: “¿Qué te pasa?”; “Dios bendito. Look everyone…”
Buttons: “Hola”.
 Spaniards would absolutely understand some ecclesiastical Latin. Not enough for an in depth conversation, but enough to make some basic requests at least.
 Spanish man in grey shirt: “Mira.”
Spanish captain with really good outfit: “No puede ser. ¿un faro?”
Spanish man in grey shirt: “Es un faro. ¡Cambiad el rumbo!”
Someone in the background: “[la otra] vela.” (not sure about the first words)
Spanish captain with really good outfit: “Me has vuelto a ganar, Barbanegra.”
 All this is said with the Spanish accent, in contrast to Jim and Nana, who have Caribbean accents.
 Episode 5
Nothing. No Jim in this episode.
 Episode 6
Nothing. Jim is very quiet in this episode. Although, during the duel, they mimic some moves for Stede to copy. This has nothing to do with Hispanism, I just think it’s neat.
 Episode 7
So much in this ep! I am including all the lines first and then the explanations.
Jim: “¿Qué te pasa?” … “Cálmate.”
 Nana: Sí.
Jim: Nana, soy yo.
 Nana: Me gusta. ¿Es tu marido o están viviendo en pecado?
Jim: Él habla español, Nana.
Nana: Muy bien, ay, muy, muy bien.
 Nana: Eres una decepción.
Jim: La vida es la decepción. ¿No fue eso lo que me enseñaste?
 Jim’s dad: “vete, vete, vete, ay…”; “¿Puedo ayudarle?”; “Esta es nuestra tierra.”
Alfeo: “Qué buenas naranjas, eh.”
Jim’s dad: “Toma todo lo que quieras.” (Huh, Jiménez goes from formal you in the last line to informal you here. Is this why he was killed? Was Alfeo offended?)
Alfeo: ¿En serio? (stabs)
 Nana: “Vamos.”; “Adiós.”; “Lo siento, hijo. La vida es dolor.”
Olu: “La vida es dolor.”
 The siete gallos. “Ser gallito”, literally “to be a cock”, figuratively “to be cocky”. Good name for a group of bandits.
The convent.  From the habit, it seems Nana is a Benedict nun. Benedictines are supposed to stay put in their convent and be self-sufficient and independent. Their motto is “ora et labora”, pray and work. They famously make really good liquor.
Nana. Not a typical Spanish name, but it could be a nickname. Nuns used to change their names upon taking their vows so Nana can be a nickname of her old name or her nun name (like, Natividad, Nazareth or something like that). Nana may be a random murderous nun, a relative of Jim, or their actual grandmother. In Catholicism, being married and having a family is no obstacle to later becoming a nun/monk/priest.
Is Spanish Jackie Spanish? No. If Spanish Jackie existed, she was of French and Haitian descent. I don’t know why they call her Spanish either. Is it the red?
 Episode 8
Jim as priest: “Adelante, m’ijo.” (A contraction of “mi hijo” my son).
Jim: “¿En serio? ¿Geraldo?!
 Episode 9
Nothing. There is no Jim, probably because they would have murdered Badminton with one single hit. We sit sadly like Olu.
 Episode 10
Jim: “¡Carajo!” (When Lucius walks on them); “¡Vete hombrecito!”. (Aww, it’s definitely and endearment now).
 And that’s it. Overall, all of Jim’s line are thoughtfully chosen and their insults vary depending on Jim’s respect and appreciation of the person. And it is possible that Alfeo murdered Señor Jiménez because he was too familiar.

The Battle of Pinkie really was a mess of a scene. I appreciate the temptation to paint scratches and a head wound on Jamie Parker- we all want to do that- but it only makes the characters look stupider for not wearing helmets!
"You need to see the actors' faces" I can barely see them anyway in this fog! They all look roughly the same because you didn't put them in surcoats! Is that Somerset or Dudley? I can't tell from the back!
No wonder everyone's saying "you're alive!" at the returning men. Single combat is THE most deadly and bloody way to fight and that's why the ancients invented F O R M A T I O N S

I mostly look for stuff relating to the game or Pal himself! All of it is very charming and I’m very very very grateful for it, and I send all of it directly to ArtyDoesStuff’s (Pal’s VA) too! They appreciate it as much, if not more, than I do!
Your art was very nice! The colors on it were very pretty, I sent it to Arty expressing this.. and they wanted me to forward a message to you both from themselves AND as Pal! We’re both grateful again, thank you for the support on the game!

For all the self-shippers into theatre, imagine your F/O coming to one of your shows!!!
If you’re an actor, expect to find your F/O in the front, watching with awe and applauding whenever possible. Even if you’re playing a small role, your F/O is so proud of you!
If you’re part of the tech/costume/backstage crew, you can bet your F/O is noticing all the little details that show just how hard you’ve been working on this production. They love seeing how talented you are!
Maybe you’re not involved at all, but are just watching one of your favorite plays/musicals. Your F/O absolutely loves being able to sit beside you, laughing or crying with you at certain parts and quietly singing along to the soundtrack. They appreciate all the time they get to spend with you!

—- B R E I F   B A C K G R O U N D  —-
trigger warnings ; mentions of drug abuse and alcohol abuse.
roman henry joel phoenix was born to two loving parents along with an older sister named ashleigh in london, england. growing up started fine, and roman got pretty close with his sister and really appreciated his parents up until his teen years in which then everything changed. as a teenager, roman learned his parents wanted him to take over the family business and refused to let him out of it. the young boy, however, wasn't at all interested, all he wanted to do originally was make music. he wanted to be a musician as he always loved writing poems and short stories and managed to make what he thought was beautiful music out of it.
as soon as he turned sixteen, roman started to rebel against his parents, spending two years being nothing but trouble. during this time he got a few tattoos across his arms and one on his chest, both his ears pierced (earlobes and industrial bars), his tongue pierced, started wearing all his rings and really experimented with his sexuality and just live his best life. he first got a girlfriend at fifteen but they broke up shortly after he turned sixteen and started to change (due to his rebelling against his parents and trying to find himself more). roman also fell into the wrong crowd of people and got into drugs and alcohol and not being the most careful at a party at eighteen for graduation, roman found himself in the hospital.
after this time he cut out a lot of his bad habits (still drinking from time to time and deals with smoking on and off) and removing all the piercings in his right ear and tongue as well as removing all his tattoos. this had roman push to get into music and managing to release a single and left his parents home, getting his own apartment. during his time cleaning up he met a guy he'd date for a couple years before they parted ways due to wanting different things. this is when roman realized, he wasn't ready to settle down. he ended up getting a record deal and moved out to los angeles, california in the hopes to make an album but things didn't work out and he fell into a bit of a depression feeling he wasn't as good as he once thought at music.
roman did met a guy during his tries at music, who also heard his single and offered him a chance at acting. so he left his music dreams behind to put his all into acting and doing pretty well for himself with a couple good films and a show under his belt already. finally he started to really feel proud of himself. despite all of this, he still holds out the dream of being a successful musician as well. music always have a place in his heart and in his free time, he's always working on new music whenever he can, while also still enjoying and giving his all to acting and treating each role as his own and finding parts of himself in each character he brings to life.
—- C U R R E N T L Y  —-
roman still struggles with sleeping around and flirting, despite really wanting to find someone to settle down with and consider maybe a family one day. he's just scared he's unloveable and work makes him harder to commit to. he's also since moved out to aurora bay, california living his best life in the crystal cove area for the past couple years (upon march 2024). his got zero contact or desire to connect his family or much of his life back home, except him two exes who became close friends after and support his career and hope he one day finds love and lets himself love and be loved. he also still does music as more a hobby, not sure about releasing much more yet as he's unsure he can handle being dropped again thinking he wasn't good enough when the deal fell through.
[ will try to update as time goes on ]

(Love)Storytime: Part 1
Trying out something special and new. Since I have so many F/Os, I thought it would be a fun thing to tell about how exactly I met them and fell head over heels in love with them all. And today is a special day because, it’s actually the 6th anniversary of me realizing I was in love with one of them. That F/O being XL
Tumblr media
Let me set the scene.
I was seventeen years old, and I found out about XL on accident. I barely remember watching the Buzz Lightyear series as a kid, but the only other villain besides Zurg I remember seeing was Gravitina. I had no idea XL existed until I seventeen. Now, if you’ve played Skylanders, you know Pop Fizz, aka the best Skylander there ever was. So imagine my surprise when I was browsing on DeviantART one day and found a fan art drawing of Pop holding this red-headed little insane-looking something (I didn’t know he was supposed to be the head of a robot). I read the description and found out that Pop and XL shared a voice actor. I had to hear it for myself, so I looked him up on YouTube, and sure enough he had Pop’s voice.
XL was the reason I rediscovered BLOSC, and when I found out he was a villain, I knew I had to find out how his villain arc started and ended. The way it started broke my heart. He had a problem with his programming that made him act violent and was deactivated and put in storage for, presumably, years by the person he saw as his father, and he never got a second chance. He wanted revenge on his father for deactivating him and he wanted revenge on his brother for replacing him. XL wasn’t truly evil. Insane, yes, but not evil. He was just broken and only wanted the love and appreciation he never got. (Also, the parts he stole to make him look better and stronger made him look like a total badass, so I thought he looked cool when I first saw the rest of him).
Tumblr media
This face, this one right here. It’s not the face of a deranged monster. It’s the face of a broken-hearted person who only wanted love and acceptance. How could I resist it? How could I resist him?
And when I watched “Revenge of the Monsters”, when I saw him get his second chance to be a hero, I cried happy tears. He got his happy ending. And seeing him smile after getting reinstated in Star Command (although, I admit, he deserved a much higher position than a fax machine, but he looked happy either way), I remember telling him “I love you.” I didn’t have to realize I loved him at that moment, I already knew I did. Opal came along about two days later when it came to making a S/I for XL.
Tumblr media
He was the first villain character I ever had an actual crush on. I still love him to this day, even if I don't post about him a whole lot.
(Also, in case you're wondering. Sometimes I forget he and Pain share a voice, so it's not really weird in that sense.)

hiyaa ( ꈍᴗꈍ) first of all, love your selfship with bya.kuya he deserves some love 🥺 but anyways, 1. and 5. for the crush game!!
- jils-things 💚
Hello, Jil!!! Thank you so much for the ask <3 And thank you in general as well, ahaha! Someone has got to love that man ^-^ I really love seeing your art - I have seen your stuff reblogged around by people I follow, but I was always too shy to like or reblog it until we were mutuals, hehe ^-^ I think your art and ship with Jesse and Tom is super cute! I love the bestie dynamic with Tord, like that platonic stuff is TO DIE FOR.
Anyway, enough of my blabbing, let's get into it!
1. Who was your very first fictional crush? 
I crushed a lot on fictional characters when I was younger, so my memory is a little blurry on who exactly was first... but I think it would have to be the 10th Do//ctor (played by Da//vid Ten//nant).
Tumblr media
I completely blame him for my thing for men over 6' with a suit and glasses, hehe <3
I just love his episodes and how they wrote him. I gotta admit, rewatching it without blushing once was a little hard... but it's more of a family joke now. I have an avid appreciation of his actor though ^-^
5. Who are you most ashamed of?
Hmm... Toughie... I was ashamed of a potential F/O back in December of last year because I was really worried about D//RS and was kinda preparing for a F/O drop. But that never happened, and I am super happy now ^-^
I was (and still am) ashamed as I am so touchy with topic of infidelity despite the fact it's fiction and liking multiple fictional characters is not at all indicative of those traits - my thoughts spiral very quickly.
His name is Nobu//chika Gin//oza!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overall, I felt really guilty for liking him in the first place, and the fact I wasn't too much of a fan of him in later seasons (I actually did not watch the movies and s3 as they weren't dubbed and he just... didn't look like himself).
I feel ashamed for liking him, but my friends say I am being really silly about it as I know my head just registers him as 'Kuya (they have so many visual and behavioural similarities... and 'Kuya's English VA for the anime is also his VA, ahaha).
-----
I hope you have a wonderful day <3

GM says goodbye to the Chevy Camaro and hundreds of workers - TheStreet
https://www.thestreet.com/automotive/gm-chevy-camaro-discontinued
They're saying they're going to stop making the Camaro and they mean at that plant and people freaked out and started asking them questions and they can't handle it these people are wimps they're going to shut the doors at those plants all of them in the upper Midwest because of a bunch of assholes keep asking them questions. I know you should have put Dynamite up their ass and let it. That was Woody and our son because they're a bunch of shirts they're jerks they can't stand it they don't know what to do they don't really want to work and there's nothing else they can do someone has to do it and really it's a safer place to be it was. Now we're going to take over these plants we're going to take the stuff and a lot of people keep saying that and the closing because everybody is getting beat up out there and we are planning on moving to the perimeter and making cars so our people have waited around and we are doing that very soon and this is actually helping so we appreciate it. And we're not discontinuing the Camaro these fools don't know how to write correctly and are getting their asses handed to them over a car they're ridiculous you're stupid people here too in your ass killed fighting your own people what a joke and it's not a good joke but boy you people take the cake these people are freaking morons they're sitting on our son. And yeah she's not yours. So there's a couple things here that are a problem at one of them is Donald Trump and the other is Dave next door. We're going to come in there and pull them out ourselves occasionally and we have to this is a disaster waiting to happen but boy at least two are huge these two are huge assholes to him. So we figured out something they need to go somewhere and he wants to know what happens in Gotham to draw them up there and we think he loses the court case and he tries to poison everybody to somehow choose the outcome and her son says by the time he gets all that stuff and tries to figure out what to do he'll still be charged with the case and his resisting the case so much because he doesn't want to hand over the west midwest that is and they're talking about us that's what the 250 million means and he doesn't want to leave my area and he doesn't want to leave my people alone but really the cases with New York and I'm going to hand off from a couple smokes. And that's what our son says it is true that's what they're up to so he doesn't want to lose the case but he's nuts and is a stupid a****** no he's a dead man and he's moron for standing up and doing that and people don't think he's a hero or help and he's screaming all over the place like he o anything people like him for doing it in his own plan has been screaming at him for to sit down and shut the f****** and get the f*** out of his face and getting assault killed he sort of know about it and they're going about it the correct way is what his daughter said and she said there's probably no chance at all cuz your mouth is so big and what he's saying is I've never seen anybody do this s*** in my life and it was a surprise to us that this guy is a massive spaz and he's running around saying what he wants screaming things like he wants something and he's acting of course terrible she is a horrible horrible actor it is Ricky schroder but what he's doing is gross I mean nobody would believe but he's doing to me what's happening now he's he's acting he's acting like he's lost and he is lost it's supposed to be not lost because he's acting it's gross he's stupid now we can lose that with stuff and people not having a secret weapon that's all there is too and people keep trying to find it cuz the idiot has a real s***** act.
-his turn is coming up to leave finally and it's true we don't like talking about him he's a nasty person he gets us angry that's just about it it's one-dimensional.
-so his number is coming up and it goes to Gotham basically they're gathering the poison up as to ruin the court case and not to use after and people are looking for the poison and that's in New York City and other areas even here they're finding it and they're pulling people in and they're getting to all of it I'm pretty soon the idiot won't have enough to do anything as it is the stuff doesn't work too good it dissipates in the atmosphere and water and so on and kind of dissolves it's not that big of a chemical and the guy doesn't really get it and has a huge mouth so he's going to go down this is like the last straw people are sick of this guy no they just keep beating on him though and he is going back to the trial Monday and the case is almost over and if he loses he will give up the $250 million and people will say that they took the people from him and it is nonstop with his counterparts there humongous losers and they will not stop yapping for years even though they don't have it and that's how it was work December running around blabbing and it would be mentioned about us astonishing for some people and surprising where the max I think it is
-there's more going on but that is a huge huge huge issue happening now and Trump and Dan are going to leave we're going to make them leave Monday is not the end of the trial but it is the beginning of the end of it where they start to close their cases. And also the pseudo empire is up north and have all this poison and it is to use after they clear the bunkers and after he bugs have destroyed everything they're going to put it in there to kill off whatever bugs are left I saw people doing it yes but because he has this poison and he's a ammassed and he's saying all sorts of things but they see what it's in and where it's going to go they the pseudo empire are killing these guys. What drives them to Gotham is probably that Batman is taking it and he's probably using it on Trump and company
Thor Freya
Olympus
Zues Hera and that's the your family's gone or you did not protect your family and let her note from Mr luthor who is really Trump

Hanna's Musings - 'Maverick' Worth Cost of Ticket
Tumblr media
A recent conversation between two teenagers (a male and a female) outside the box office of a local cinema complex: M: So, what do you want to see? F:  I don’t really care. How about you? M: Well, we could watch “Elvis.” F:  Who’s that? M: He’s that singer our parents listened to in the 1960s and ’70s. F:  Oh no! My mom listens to him all the time. Why would I want to see a movie about a guy who sings songs about a hound dog and blue suede shoes? M.: Good point. How about “Minions”? It’s supposed to be pretty good. At this juncture, an octogenarian in a wheelchair rolls into the picture and begins perusing the nearby poster for “Top Gun: Maverick.” F:  I saw the trailer for that, and I think it looks generic with those little things moving around. M: (He’s becoming a bit frustrated now. And also the Octo has tilted his head to listen in on the conversation.) Well, there’s not a whole lot left, but I have heard good things about “Top Gun: Maverick.”   F: Yeah, I read about that one. It’s a sequel to a movie that was made many years before I was born. Why would I want to watch that?           Before he can answer, the Octo chimes in. Tom Cruise starred in the original movie more than 30 years ago. O: Begging your pardon, Miss, but I think you would find a lot to like in that film even if you haven’t seen the original. All you really need to know is that Tom Cruise plays Pete Mitchell, aptly nicknamed Maverick, a hotshot Navy aviator who has little respect for rules. In the 36 years that have elapsed since Maverick’s good friend and co-pilot Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose,” died in a freak accident during a training session, Maverick naturally blames himself despite the protestations of others who insist that the incident wasn’t his fault. During the past 36 years, Maverick has continued to instruct young aviators, but he just can’t rid himself of his guilty conscience. And his commanding officers don’t help him much because they assign him to train a group of Top Gun graduates for an extremely dangerous mission. This will be particularly difficult for Maverick because one of his trainees is Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Tiller), aka “Rooster,” son of the late Goose. F:  Well, thank you very much for that information, sir. (These are polite teenagers.)  We really appreciate it, but I don’t know that a movie about pilots would be that interesting to me. O: I understand your concern, Miss. I really do, but this is much more than just a film about pilots. This picture is about the rigorous training regimen the pilots go through and the effect it has on them. Of course, there’s a bit of a love story thrown in as almost an afterthought, but it’s enough to satisfy the romantic viewers, and it gives Jennifer Connelly screen time. She’s the member of a strong cast that includes Val Kilmer, Glen Powell, Jon Hamm, and Ed Harris to name just a few. In the production notes, we learn why Cruise wanted the actors to endure five months of Navy flight training. “I can’t just stick an actor in an F/A-18,” Cruise said. “Not only are they going to pass out; there are so many things happening in that airplane. You have cameras. You have lighting. You have performance. They’ve got to be pulling Gs. They’ve got to be low. They have to have had that experience in that aircraft. You see it. You feel it. You can’t fake it.” Indeed the real stars of this film are the planes that execute some incredibly complex maneuvers in the attempt to carry out a practically impossible mission. You have never seen any more spectacular aerial photography than you get in this film. AND THE TENSION THE FILM CREATES IS PALPABLE. The first time I saw this film, my legs were shaking so badly I thought I wasn’t going to make it. M: Wait a minute, Mister. You mean you’ve seen this movie more than once? O: Absolutely. This will be my fourth time, and I find something new each time. Also, I’m a big Tom Cruise fan, and I’ve seen just about all his movies. I think he’s a terrific actor.  A good friend of mine insists, however, that the only role Cruise can play is that of “a tortured soul.”      Actually, that description accurately fits him in this film because Maverick still is tortured by the death of Goose 36 years ago. Maybe my friend is onto something. F: I do like Cruise’s movies, but I’m not big on sequels. Since I never saw “Top Gun,” maybe I won’t have lost out by not seeing the original. O: Oh, don’t let the sequel curse keep you from seeing this film, Miss. This is one of those rare occasions when the sequel may be better than the original because of the sensational cinematography and sound. But don't make the mistake of waiting until this film comes to television because it will lose a great deal in moving to the small screen. You absolutely have to watch it on the big screen because it will draw you in so much that you will be exhausted when it ends. You will leave the theater with weak knees and white knuckles. Look for this film to grab some Oscar nominations this year. It’s a solid 10. M: OK! I’m in. F:  Me too! Thank you so much, Sir. Do you see a lot of films? O: Not anymore, but I once did. F:  Well, you should think about writing film reviews. O:  Thank you. You’re very kind. And maybe I will think about that. Footnote: Here’s something else to think about: Three tickets (daytime prices), one medium bag of popcorn, and two medium Coke Zeroes. $43.00!!!! Read the full article
