Ride The Cowboy

Pairings: JJ x BestFriend!Fem!reader

Warnings: MDNI, riding, creampie

Summary: JJ got a new cowboy hat and reader has no idea about the rule.

Authors Note: I had a smut written for a request. It was JJ and reader with the cowboy hat rule but it got deleted! It was anonymous so I hope whoever requested this sees it and enjoys!!!

JJ found this random black cowboy hat at one of our shops in town. I didn't think he was serious when he said he wanted to buy it because it's not even his style.

Anyway he's been wearing it for a fucking week, trying to act all country and it's so fucking annoying. He has started using a country accent trying to be funny, but it was just so, so lame.

We were at the boneyard having the time of our lives. JJ and I were dancing together, giggling and having some normal fun, until he started talking like he was from Texas.

I was so fed up. I reached for his hat and threw it onto my head. "Look at me, I'm JJ, all I ever do is talk with an accent and twirl around in my cowboy hat!!" I said, very annoyed with a terrible attempt at a country accent.

JJ was staring at me in awe, which got the attention of our friend Pope, whose jaw went slack as well. Pope walked over and rested his arm on JJ's shoulder. "She doesn't know does she?" Pope looked at JJ with the most dead serious look I've ever seen. What the hell was he talking about???

"I don't think she does." He grinned and started laughing. His cheeks flushed red as he looked at his feet then back to Pope. "What are you talking about?!" I asked frantically. "Have fun cowboy." Pope said patting JJ's back while walking away. I give JJ a questioning look.

He got extremely close to my body, yet he was still towering over me. Damn this boy was tall. JJ took my hands in his. "You don't know the cowboy hat rule?" He asked smirking down at me. "These things have fucking rules too???" He giggled. "Yes but this one is probably the most important." Somehow he got closer, which was surprisingly not as uncomfortable as I thought. "What is it??" I asked getting annoyed because he was playing games at this point.

"Wear the hat, ride the cowboy."

His face never changed from that smug little smirk, but my eyes got wide. I hit his chest, he was my best friend. "No way Maybank, that's probably something you made up to get you laid." He grinned. "It's not I swear, if you don't believe me look it up."

Unfortunately I did, and he was right. It was some kind of sick joke. "Well I didn't know so it doesn't count!" I crossed my arms. "Hey, rules are rules baby." He was holding my hips now. Why were butterflies filling my stomach? I've never thought of JJ this way. It would be so wrong. "So is no pogue on pogue macking!" I say trying my hardest to find a way out of this, but of course he's ready for whatever I say. "First of all, John B and Sarah are right over there, basically eating each other's faces. Second of all, it's not macking, it's riding baby." He smiled to himself because he knew he won.

JJ walked us to the Twinkie, where we wouldn't be bothered. "You just want an excuse to fuck your best friend!" I say fighting the best I could. "I could say the same about you! I didn't tell you to steal my hat! And you're still wearing it!" He laughs so hard after he gets his sentence out. I was blushing when I quickly took his hat off and threw it at him.

I was hovering over him, very anxious. He had a huge grip on my hips. "We do not have to do this if you don't want to." He says while holding me up. "JJ, I'm already naked. Plus you said it, rules are rules." Before I could change his mind or my own, I started easing myself down onto his dick. JJ let out a slight hissing sound as I went lower. Not gonna lie, I did need to get fucked. It was probably why I found him so annoying this week.

JJ helped me move at a pace that made us both feel good. "Come here." He pulled me in with a motion of his finger. "Might as well break a rule while we're at it." He smirked before attaching his lips to mine. JJ sat up and put his back against the seat, never pulling out. I pulled his hands away from my hips and to my tits, making him squeeze them as I bounced on his dick all by myself. I couldn't believe I was riding my best friend.

"Fuck Y/N/N don't stop." Woah. JJ called me by my nickname while I was bouncing on his huge cock. How fucking hot. Can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'm catching feelings in the middle of all of this. "Fuck I'm cumming!" I yell as my body starts spasming, I feel his dick shoot his hot liquid into me after I was done. JJ pushed my hips up and down, helping us ride out our orgasms.

He started spooning me after I put my clothes back on and laid down. "JJ I don't wan-" Before I could finish he interrupted me. "Y/N, I can't handle it anymore. I need to be with you, especially now. Now that I've had a little taste of you, I don't think I could let you go and just continue being just your best friend." He was hovering over me now. "I was thinking the same thing." That made us both smile.

We popped up when we heard the side door slam open. "I'm assuming she followed the rules?" Pope giggled staring at JJ, making him giggle as well. They high fived as I rolled over to hide in JJ's chest.

if you could... describe aftg in 5 words

oh this is not as easy a question to answer as it should be akfhsdkf bc like. i could describe its plot, or my thoughts on it as a fan, or how it makes me feel, or just make a joke, or or or and bc idk why you're asking it makes it harder :'))

but let's see...

plot: gay sports mafia found family.

fan: drama, familiarity, trauma, comedy, home

feelings: love, understanding, chaos, joy, comfort

joke: you know, i get it-

(as you can see, i couldn't pick which one to go with, so choose whichever 5 words you want lmao)

#anyway the hard part is cus like. if you're already a fan then you KNOW it's plot #and i would go with either feelings or joke probably #if you aren't a fan you won't understand joke and maybe want the plot to see if you'd want to read it #in which case getting my feelings or thoughts on it could also help you decide #especially bc 'gay sports mafia' is something it has been described as OFTEN #and thus you wouldn't necessarily need ME to tell you that #anywya #i spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME thinking about this so ya know. i do hope you see this kshdfhsd #i know how it can be sending anon asks #especially if you don't follow the person you sent it to like MAN rememebring to check in and then scrolling the blog to find it???? #so sorry i never shut up here #anyway if you ARE someone who hasn't read it yet and are interested; please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!!! #aftg contains a lot of potentially triggering material so it's good to have some understanding of what you're walking into! #(i did not but thankfully i'm not easily triggered by most things lmao but it still is nice to have that warning) #aftg #askers #anon #shh ac #also if you HAVE read it please appreciate my joke. i think im very funny.

how come you do post much about gaza?

assuming you meant don't*? because this makes no sense otherwise? anyway

that you don't see my activism doesn't mean it isn't happening. tumblr is a terrible platform for activism, so I don't use it for that

#i won't pull up donation receipts for a fuckign tumblr anon #i won't sit here and try to explain that tumblr activism is typically restrained to tumblr. people rb the posts and never do anything else #people here notoriously do not click on links #so what i do. what i donate. where i protest. my household's boycotting. i do it and i talk to people about it but i don't do it here #because it won't do jack shit here and i'm trying to connect with people who might actually participate. for tangible results #sorry if that sounds Angry. it's because it is. #if y'all want to free palestine then you have to participate more than just reblogging. boosting voices is good but it takes more than that #tumblr rbs don't put pressure on politicians. they don't fund relief efforts. they don't pay for esims. they don't demonstrate organized #support for palestine in a Visible Manner to your city or state or country #they aren't disruptive #that's why you don't see me post on here. i'm trying to concentrate my efforts where they might do something #NOW. before you come for my throat. obviously there is nothing wrong with circulating posts about aid and resources to help #but then you should really consider like. contributing to those resources. that's key. that's the point. and some people here do! great! #i just. am more likely to be able to find and reach people who do in other places #maybe i should've said all that in the post instead of the tags but i really don't want to bring a bunch of misunderstanding down on myself #asks answered #'i wont sit here and explain' and then i did. damn

The more I look at it, the more I see afohiko being AFO on the bed kicking his feet like a teenage girl in a 90s movie in love with this grumpy guy on the baseball team who refuses to befriend anyone but this cheerleader girl named Nana. AFO is trying to mean girl his way to sorahiko's heart.

i've never watched mean girls in my life, so i think i'll have to take you at your word. but congratulations i spent real time wondering if i could write a generic high school AU (either based off my experience, or a slice of life anime's). thoughts that resulted from My Experience of High School:

afo is student body president, and a senior to sorahiko's varsity baseball star junior. afo is in debate club, and he's in theater class but specifically for the plays, not musicals. he is nominally in every volunteer activity available to teenagers. he's a varsity golf player.

the freshmen: en and yoichi. the sophomores: banjo and shinomori. the juniors: nana, sorahiko. the seniors: second and third.

they're known as... that group of students who snag one table, specifically, during lunch period. how'd they meet? ... zero period orchestra, and/or out-of-school history.

the afo vs ofa conflict is reduced purely to afo wanting to baby yoichi while they're in high school together, and yoichi flouting afo's rule by hanging with the 'weird' kids.

running concurrent with the issue of the clingy older brother is the issue of afo attempting to date sorahiko. no one likes that.

nana is also a jock! she's definitely a jock!!! of what sport, i don't know (softball? swimming?). no offense to cheerleaders but nana's not one of them.

#bnha #afohiko #all for one #gran torino #torino sorahiko #shih's art #asks #anon #long post #as a self indulgent thought: everyone's got a BIT of a crush on sorahiko #they're teenagers your honor #i DON'T know how afo finds himself chasing after sorahiko #actually it'd be really funny if that's the case for everyone who likes afo #if you like afo; you just plain don't like sorahiko #machia: president pls pls take me to prom #afo: machia what are you talking about; help me with this prom proposal we're going to stage a shakespearean monologue #generic western hs au

If you were a chulip character how would players kiss you?

find and present to me a working copy of Dragon Ball Z Budokai 1 for the PlayStation 2 and you can kiss my stupid ass

#ask #anon #for a more serious and personal answer. idk i imagine you'd have to see and accept me at my weirdest. otherwise NO kisses. NO love. #you cannot 100% the game if you cannot accept me for the weird fucked slop i am #i also deal 98 hearts of damage if you fuck it up. and i wont appear for 30 ingame days. need time to recover. #best hope you didnt leave me as one of the last citizens you had to kiss #you could savescum i guess to bypass the wait time #but deep down id know #the only character in chulip to have a mr resetti mechanic #another silly answer would be that youd have to find a working beta of tf2 with grenades still intact. but thats impossible im afraid. #but even then i dont think i feel that attatched to the beta. its just the researcher in me who wants to see how the viewmodels look #like we know what the dynamite packs viewmodel looks like. but not really anything else im afraid. #we have an idea of what some viewmodels wouldve included with their model #like the bear trap has an unused portion of its UV sheet that displays what wouldve likely been meant to be a chain #so i wonder how a chain wouldve been adapted with the beartraps viewmodel #like is it a cluster of them on the end of the chain and the scouts spinning it. #or is the viewmodel of one with a chain wrapped around the jaws to help its viewmodel have a more solid silhouette #the frag grenade has what i assume to be the uv portion of a pin #im just fascinated by scrapped content i think. #anyway thank you for the ask anon #i kinda wish i had a game i couldve listed with a funnier title but. dbz budokai is the one that sticks out in my mind

When it comes to that ace/aro question I feel like the fact I'm a late twenties virgin who's never dated and isn't bothered by that fact means I'm probably on both spectrums but my friends and family have never made me feel weird so I don't think about it and still just say I'm straight 🤷🏻‍♀️

something I feel like I’m saying all the time, especially in regards to asexual and aromantic labels is that a label’s purpose should be to serve you. if you’re living your life not identifying anywhere on the ace and aro spectrums and it’s chill and good then even if you think you might “technically” fit somewhere on there, you don’t need to use those labels.

I feel like this comes up with demisexuality a lot. people will say “oh I’m like that but that’s just normal. I don’t feel a need to label every little bit of my life 🙄.” okay. whether or not you’re “technically” demi, it’s clear you wouldn’t be served by that label. life gets easier when you accept that some people will be even though you’re not, even if you don’t understand how or why.

same goes for microlabels. no one is forcing you to use them if they don’t feel helpful. for some people they are. we can all peacefully coexist if we are kind even when we don’t understand something.

#for me I knew I was on the aro spectrum long before I knew I was demiro #finding that exact term to use helped me figure out what romantic attraction actually felt like #and avoid a lot of stressful situations and relationships #so demi is a term that served me #and identifying as a part of the aro community in general has been very important to me as well #had I been better at identifying romantic feelings from the start who knows how I’d feel #hannah talks sometimes #anon #asks #asexual #aromantic #aspec

while it’s been really nice to be able to help so many women (and myself) through radical feminism, there are a ton of women whose stories i know who i will never meet and sometimes it really does weigh on me

#like i was waiting for my dinner to heat up and randomly staring off into space #and i remembered this one woman who was an american on vacation in turkey. she was raped there and i helped her find help #she was quite literally kidnapped for 12 hours and raped and i helped her. she came off anon and literally i convinced myself it wasn’t real #but when i looked back in her archive she had made posts MONTHS prior about getting her passport renewed and preparing for the trip bla bla #like this woman really was stranded in turkey. really was abused. and came to ME for help? #i was literally 19-20 at the time. i was like just some random woman on the internet #and that’s only 1 wpman. 1. i used to get asks for advice on shit like that by the DOZEN every few hours #i used to answer dozens and dozens and dozens of asks helping women find this and do that and answer whatever i could #and sometimes i feel the weight of that still resting on me #like i never forgot any of them. i know anonymous stories of heartbreak and pain from other women #on top of my OWN unbearable pain #and sometimes it all hits me and i realize JUST how much of myself i have put into all of it #sometimes to my own detriment

Ganonbeck has true Jessica & Roger Rabbit energy. A sublime immortal + some stinky sailor he found.

One of the Links, signing: "Seriously, why do you see in that guy?"

Ganondorf: "He makes me laugh"

Ganonbeck is a funny little ship and it is entertaining to think about what (any, I guess) of the various Links would think of it.

(I have not seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit so I can't say a whole lot on the comparison but I think I get it? I read the wikipedia page for it)

#anon #asks #ganonbeck #everyone keeps comparing ganonbeck to all kinds of other ships but idk what id personally compare it to #MAN idk what to do with the asks that are less asks and more little comments like this lol ty tho this is cute #ive been leaning away from just seeing ganonbeck as just a silly little crackship and more something with genuine narrative potential #its still silly dont get me wrong but im cursed with the tendency to make linebeck a deeper character than is necessary #i think he bathes very frequently and that is a headcanon with more baggage than is needed #ganondorf #linebeck #dynamic between linebeck and ganondorf is interesting to think about and i think the idea that linebeck is half gerudo is a good... crutch? #it helps spark stuff stuff in addition to just being an interesting linebeck headcanon in general #linebeck works really well with another character when i write him in aus he's usually intrinsically tied with another character #but ganonebeck being 'king with the power to tear down a nearby kingdom and is tied to a great magical artifact and history itself' #plus 'some fucking guy who keeps falling into epic quests he is not equipped for' is good #man raised as royalty with great battle skills and an affinity for the organ and generally also being kinda philosophical #and then legend of zelda's male damsel in distress #i think i have a skewed view of ganonbeck bc ganondorf is the one everyone else finds hot whereas my tastes are the reverse

[girlboyburger]

Is it ok if I reference your art? I want to make a reference sheet for my character and you're so good at drawing my body type. I would NOT directly trace yours, but it might come out as the same pose as whatever I end up referencing. If that's not okay, I understand and it's completely fine! If it makes you uncomfortable, I will not use your art as a reference. (Sorry I'm bad at wording things)

sure! referencing poses or w/e is super okay with me ^^ also tbh, i don't mind if people trace* my art,

****AS LONG AS*****

they're not posting it, and especially not posting it claiming it's their own. anyone can *privately * use my work to learn shapes or lines or whatever else, tracing is a good tool to feel out the shapes in art.

👍

note: by tracing, i specifically mean breaking down the art to bare bones shapes. finding the circles and squares and bean shapes that compose the anatomy in a piece, NOT just tracing along the lines. direct tracing does not work as a tool, and is something i'm very not okay with happening to my work. ... annnd is something i very heavily encourage you to avoid for the sake of learning on your own.

#most of my poses are super generic imo so very especially okay if you mean standing facing the left with hand up lol. #there's way too much of a stigma against tracing in art communities when like. it's a REALLY good way to get a feel for anatomy and shapes #back in highschool/college i traced uh. luxebytes (yes i know the drama surrounding them forgive me i was in highschool) #coconutmilkyway creamsie okamiwolven n like. a whole lotta other artists i still admire today. not to mention i STILL trace poses in find o #pinterest and google and sometimes tumblr of human people just for practice #n for the record. before someone beats my door down with a bat: #AGAIN. i do NOT mean just tracing over the lines of someone's work. i get how tempting it sounds from a beginner standpoint to just have th #piece look like art style you like but. it's not only super uncool but won't help you learn. #them's my onions. obviously don't reference artists who specifcially ask not to be referenced #but #i dont mind with my art specifcally as long as youre doing it Morally Correct :] #last time i got asked if someone could reference my art they straight up recolored one of my ocs n posted it as their own but i'm assuming #you don't mean that lol <3 #ask #anon

Sorry I wasn't being clear when I said "mirror terf"--it's not a thing anyone says. I meant it as an allusion to, like, "mirror-verse" style stories. As in, terfs think transfems are men and hate both men and penises, and the two banners together felt like it could be someone who would think transfems are men but loves men and penises. It wasn't my best writing choice, so I hope that clarifies what I meant

I could have just been oversensitive about associating the two banners next to each other. I think just one banner per post would do the job, but it's not really your problem if I feel weird reblogging a post because of the banners. Like, saying "I think just one banner per post would do the job" still feels like being demanding of a stranger on the internet

Same asker as before, and you know what? I think I've just let terfs get too under my skin. The banners say that you love men and love cock and one can assume the combination of the two, and that doesn't say anything about men without cocks or an inherent man-ness of penis. Sorry for the trouble.

(Maybe knowing your motivation for certain does make a difference, though? I didn't, for instance, see all the trans symbols in your bio when I saw your post)

(i think that addendum belongs to you, theres another anon i got in between and similar typing styles in both messages, so i may be wrong, im just guessing based on context)

---

thank you for clarifying, i really appreciate it ! that does clear up the stuff i was confused about. one of the many other anons suggested the addition of a trans related banner, which is increasingly sounding like a reasonable way to at least imply that a cissexist reading is incorrect. like, i don't really like the concept of other trans people reading one of my posts and getting the knee-jerk reaction of 'this feels like a terf but to the left' or something, and thank you for bringing it to my attention that you were, because that matters to me. so if seeing the trans symbols makes it more clear that im talking about all men (regardless of what they're packing) and not people who don't identify as men, then that would be a good solution to me, if it also sounds good to you and any other trans people, especially if they were originally put off by the banners.

#more complex of a topic than i was necessarily expecting last night at like 11pm while pretty high lol #i am trying to balance all the opinions currently in my askbox--i have a bunch of other anons as well who i probably wont publish #because i dont like when my fiber blog turns into asks and nothing but asks #i get where youre coming from and why you read it the way you did #the banners for me are a joyous expression of my love for men and my existence as a man so id much rather find something that helps #translate that to others who have less context than remove them #idk i hope that makes sense ! #and again thank you for reaching out

I want a girlfriend but I'm an ugly lesbian :(

Hey, Anon! Well, first off, I doubt you're as unattractive as you think. We're usually our own worst critics (I can attest to that).

But even if you aren't physically attractive by conventional standards, so what? I see people walking around and online all the time who I wouldn't consider conventionally attractive yet are in relationships. And they look happy!

It's true that as a lesbian, your dating pool is smaller than if you were straight, but the sapphics are out there!!

Some people have success finding dates on apps, but if you're comfortable going out, I'd recommend joining some groups/clubs/doing social activities you're interested in, since getting to know like-minded women in person is a great way to show off who you are. Your interests, your skills, your quirks that someone will fall in love with. And who knows? You may meet new friends or pick up a new hobby in the meantime!

Final thoughts: you are enough. And as my grizzled and surly old coworker used to say, "There's a lid for every pot!"

I try to remember that for myself.

#i'm mostly ok with my looks atp #there are plenty of heavy or plain ppl that are happily married or dating #i can get dates if i wanted to #it's my brain that i fear that makes me unlovable #that's going to take a lot of therapy to work through but i'm trying #also maybe therapy could help you deal with neg self-talk too anon? #there are queer-friendly therapists out there #but anyway i wish you luck in your search!! #lmk if you decide to join any groups or take a class to meet ppl! #some ppl find each other via discord etc but i'm old fashioned i guess 💗 #thank you for the ask! #lovely anon #asks #sapphic dating #lesbians #i've been voluntarily a hermit and celibate for some time now bc of reasons #but who knows maybe i'll follow my own advice and try to be more social this year

What are your thoughts on the Murderbot book series? I've been thinking of getting into it and noticed you reblog stuff about it occasionally ☀️🌸

Dear Nonny,

Thank you so much for noticing my MB posts, sending this ask + your patience while I answered it. Here’s a two part response.

First, the condensed version of @fuzzballsheltiepants' sales pitch which hooked me:

OK SO! Take an agender, asexual, snarky and sarcastic autistic human-robot construct who has been a slave for its entire life, give it found family, freedom, and anxiety, and turn it loose in a universe in which almost nobody is white or straight. Add a talking spaceship and a background anti-capitalistic message and voila! Brilliance!

with a VERY important addition from @tntwme:

It’s also addicted to trashy tv.

Second, my experience of the series:

I don't read Sci-Fi. At all. Ditto anything to do w/robots or AI. Not even much fantasy. I cannot overstate this. Partially it's because space-as-a-concept creeps me out: it's literally untethered from the Earth, there's no sunlight + so.many.stories take place in small spaces. All three of those aspects disturb me. Machines + AI do not engage me. Finally, I came of age when when a lot of SciFi was written by white cis het men. Navigating misogyny + patriarchy in daily life was enough; I wasn't interested in reading about a future where these two systemic forces had not been replaced with something more equitable. (NOTE: I am reading an Octavia Butler book (Kindred) + I KNOW: Ursula K LeGuin, but haven't gotten there yet. I've also watched The Martian (enjoyed it very much) + some other similar movies, but only because someone lobbied me hard to do so.) HOWEVER. H O W E V E R. I looooooove this series. This came as a HUGE surprise! The aspect of MB's journey I resonate most DeEpLy with is its quest to disconnect from being programmed by unseen forces + instead take responsibility for its own agency. D A M N, if that hasn't been the story of my life these past 5 years, especially this last one. Another thing which surprised me --someone allergic to sarcasm-- I LOVE ITS SARCASTIC HUMOUR! I LOVE witnessing MB learn how to interact w/others. I LOVE many of the other characters.

There you go dear one! I cannot say anything more because it would spoil YOU from enjoying the experience yourself. I hope you take the plunge + then circle back to tell me about YOUR experience w/the series, trusting that if you don't like it, that's OK too!

With love 💜,

foxsoulcourt / Fox / Cory

Do you have any recommendations for lists of Hebrew names? The ones I've been looking at have been pretty mixed in quality especially with meanings. Much love and thank you in advance! Your blog means a lot to me as someone pursuing conversion 💖

Hi! Names are HARD! As you've found, they are extremely subjective!

I will say, for Hebrew names, it's definitely best to look at Jewish websites rather than generic name lists. I haven't used these myself, but Aish has "boy names" and "girl names," as does Chabad ("boy" "girl"). The Chabad one includes context for the name origins where relevant, which is neat!

If these don't work for you, could you tell me a little more about what you want in a name? You mentioned name meanings; what sort of meaning are you going for? Do you want a name that is traditionally gendered a certain way? Any names you have on your list already?

Good luck!! I'm so glad you enjoy my blog, and I am happy to help in any way I can! 💙
