6. longest a drawing has taken to finish
i think in terms of hours spent... the ryoji/minato as thanatos and orpheus, i think. took me a month of on and off 2-3 hour sessions...?
Tumblr media
or if you're defining it as start date to finish date. this one. minato holding his mp3 player was started in january, intended to be a burn my dread companion piece to ryoji.
Tumblr media
and then i didn't know what i was doing bc ryoji is ryoji... but then i was like "wait i was onto something here" and i repurposed it into the art you see now :D (after five months! sorry ryoji. this is ryoji erasure. i love him but his hair should get water poured on it.)
Tumblr media
17. favorite oc/sona drawing
thank you for indulging me cat! i couldn't pick, so have a bunch of them. i love my silly guy but i seem to conveniently forget about posting any art of him (or my other ocs) onto tumblr... even though i draw him all the time...
Tumblr media
i'm almost kind of sad that i didn't draw him holding ryomina nuis and making them kiss.. but that's what 2024 is for 😎

update for a few art related things that i don't think anyone really cares about
1. went to the cinema 2 hours before a screening so that i could secure my ticket - wait for 2 hours - watch the movie. i took my sketchbook in my bag, just in case i get drawing urges while waiting. i didn't. but i did get thirst urges and got a cold water bottle. didn't finish it and put it in my bag. half way through the movie i stick my hand in my bag and my sketchbook is soaked.
the poor guy is still recovering and the paper is wavy. (this happened 3 days ago. i am too scared to open it and look at the damage)
so i'm INCREDIBLY thankful that i take pics of my work to post it here
pray for sketchy okay 👍
umm
2. still procrastinating on that birthday gift i was supposed to draw. it was for a week ago. i still haven't given that person their gift. i feel extremely horrible and private circumstances about this person and my relationship with them make the guilt worse. I just am not doing it and i don't understand why. i mean i have the time to watch barbie and hang out on tumblr. i don't know what's wrong with me. (this procrastination problem has been an extreme issue in my school/uni life as well. i am actively struggling and hoping i can get that fixed soon)
3. i made a commitment to a bunch of people on here for drawing requests - and still feel extremely horrible that i haven't finished any of them. i've done a few sketches for a couple of the requests and the guilt for that is also actively building up in my chest. i want to apologize to every one of you who have made a request and i don't know wether to give up and accept that i'm extremely unreliable or just make these people wait again. i can't seem to start and i don't know what's wrong with me.
4. any of you guys have advice for whatever procrastination-to-literal-no-productivity-at-all issues i have??? i feel like i'm begging for pity or attention but i promise i'm not this is like. a big problem in my life
5. also want to apologize for thinking i would NEVER procrastinate on drawing as an "ARTIST" who LOVES DRAWING SO MUCH. i thought this was just an issue with things i didn't want to do/most people don't like to do. like study for exams/homework/etc
i still knew my problem and overestimated myself and underestimated the power of whatever bullshit's in my head.
literally just tell me if you're willing to wait and see if i am capable of picking up a pen or if you just prefer giving up on it in case it takes too long
i genuinely really like all your requests and was genuinely interested in making them and i loved your ocs and your designs and your backstories that's not what this is about i swear
umm and uh
6. i have fanart and original ideas i also can't bring myself to start. like a spidersona, a barbiesona, character designing on new additions to my ocs, etc
i am in a server with friends and i see their work and just disintegrate because their spidersonas are so cool and they're friends and i have an idea for one but i just. literally let that inner saboteur (as mama ru would say) stop me from participating and stop feeling excluded
so in conclusion here is my list of art things i gotta do
- do the late birthday gift
- do the requests
- buy a new sketchbook...
- character work
- the sonas
- overdue fanart ideas
if you have any advice or any insight/input/personal experience with all of this let me know

“What if Paris was the first time we’d met?” || Thomastair University AU
I wrote this because 1) anxiety and 2) the idea of what would happen if Thomas and Alastair had met for the first time in Paris is killing my soul so here you go
Thomas closed his notebook with a sigh.
“I know you want to say it,” Thomas grounded.
Lucie looked at him with big innocent eyes. “Say what?”
Thomas rolled his eyes.
Lucie smiled at him and while they both stood up, she said with a grin, “Okay, I will say it. I told you not to drink last night. I told you.”
Thomas signed again. “Yeah, you did. In my defense, that guy was cute and I was nervous!”
“No excuses!”
“Mr. Lightwood.”
Thomas stopped on the exit and looked at the professor. “Yes, Mrs. Jahanshah?”
Sona Jahanshah handed him a list. “Your paper. I wished to give it to you yesterday but well.” You weren't here was left unsaid but they both knew what she meant.
Thomas felt ashamed. His Farsi class was his favorite and Mrs. Jahanshah was an awesome woman. Strict and rarely allowing compromises but amazing teacher. Thomas didn't want to let her down by missing her classes to get drunk. Especially on the second day of the new semester.
He hesitatingly took the paper and looked at it. A small smile appeared on his face.
“Thank you Mrs. Jahanshah,” he said. He hurried to Lucie who was waiting for him at the door.
“Well?” she raised an eyebrow.
Thomas grinned but only said, “Nothing.”
“Come on, let me see!”
“Nope.”
Lucie tried to grab it from him but she was too small compared to him. And in general. In the end she gave up but said this wasn't the end.
“One day I will read your work, Thomas Alexander Lightwood, remember my words.”
“Yeah, of course,” he said with a smile.
Together they left the university and went to the near coffee shop where they were supposed to meet with Lucie's friend, Cordelia.
Thomas was a little jealous how Lucie could find a soulmate so fast. It has never been so easy to Thomas. It will never be. Maybe he was just too awkward. Sometimes he felt like his insecurities were written all over his face.
Lucie's smile widened. “There she is. It seems her brother is also here.”
“I have work,” Alastair said.
“We all have,” Cordelia said.
“Okay, I have a lot of work.”
“Come on,” Cordelia arched an eyebrow. “You should take a rest from time to time. Or else your brain would explode.”
“Sure,” Alastair said sarcastically. “Tell me again, why am I here? To rest? By meeting people?”
“It's just Lucie! And one of her friends, Thomas, who is a really adorable guy. It would be fine!”
Alastair wasn't convinced but didn't say anything. Cordelia was determined to make him talk with people for some reason.
“Oh, I see Lucie. She's right there.”
Alastair followed his sister's look. He spotted her friend, Lucie Herondale, a small but lively girl. They have spoken a few times but Alastair didn't really know anything about her except the things Cordelia told him.
Next to Lucie was a tall, broad-shouldered guy with a shy smile that was laughing at something Lucie said.
Alastair felt like someone kicked him in the stomach.
“Fuck,” he breathed. “You didn't tell me your friend is so cute.”
Cordelia blinked at him and smiled playfully. “I didn't know he is your type.”
“He is now,” Alastair stated.
Cordelia couldn't help but grin.
“Fuck,” Alastair said again looking at Thomas.
Thomas and Lucie sat on the table with Cordelia and Alastair. He was introduced to the Cordelia's brother and Thomas got worried he'd do something stupid and would make fool of himself in front of the beautiful guy next to him and-
Thomas forced himself not to space out too much but to listen to what the rest were talking about. He did his best to join the conversation but it wasn't easy to concentrate.
At some point Alastair said he's going to the bathroom and Cordelia went to ask for more coffee. Thomas breathed out and turned to Lucie.
“Why didn't you tell me your friend's brother is so cute? You know I don't know how to act around cute guys!”
“You are doing just fine,” Lucie said, trying to calm him down.
“Well, I was drowning in anxiety. But... I think it was sort of... the normal anxiety?”
“You mean...”
At this moment Cordelia returned to the table and Lucie didn't finish her sentence. Thomas was grateful. He was diagnosed with social anxiety and didn't feel comfortable talking about it in front of strangers. Only a few close to him people knew and Thomas did not want too many people to find out about it. It made him, well, anxious.
When Alastair got back he said he should hurry up for his next lecture and said goodbye. Thomas was a little disappointed.
Cordelia, Lucie and he had almost an hour until their next class so they remained in the cafe. Thomas wanted to know more about Alastair Carstairs but he thought asking Cordelia may look creepy and out of place. He may ask Lucie to do it. Or he himself to ask. Some day.
Thomas was nervous. It was his first time in a new class where he didn't know anyone (he didn't know many people in the university as a whole but still).
As he entered the room he tried to calm down. Took a deep breath. His anxiety was still there but after Thomas took his seat he felt like he wouldn't get an anxiety attack in front of the whole class and will survive this. Probably.
He prepared to take notes, took out a few pens (just in case) and tried to breath normally. He reminded himself no one was paying attention to him. There were a lot of people in the room, he was just another guy in it. It was going to be fine.
“Hey, can I sit here?”
Thomas turned to the person talking to him and blinked. Alastair Carstrais.
“Sure,” Thomas said after a second.
Alastair smiled a little and Thomas couldn't help it - he returned the smile.
“The room is just so full. I was worried there weren't any left seats.”
The room was indeed full. Thomas was happy he got here early so he could sit at a place he liked.
“Cordelia didn't mention you like history.”
“Cordelia is awesome but I'm not very close with her,” Thomas said. “And I'm a little bit of history buff,” he admitted.
“Enough history buff to take a class for it, it seems,” Alastair said with a small smile.
Thomas laughed. “Yes, apparently.”
The professor walked into the room and it got quiet.
Thomas listened with interest to the lecture, taking detailed notes. But he was also excited because of the person sitting next to him.
Thomas wasn't sure how much time had passed but he knew he was hungry.
“Hey,” Thomas turned to Alastair who had a little strange expression as he said this. “Wanna, like- I mean if you're not busy, to have lunch with me? Or even just coffee if you don't have a lot of time?”
Thomas' stomach did a flip but it was a good kind of flip, nervous and excited.
“I would be happy to have lunch together.”
Alastair smiled. It was a real, warm smile. “Okay.”
They went out of the university and Alastair said he knew a good place in the area. Thomas followed, careful to remember the way to it. He may need to come here again, hopefully.
As they sat, menus appeared in front of them almost immediately. Thomas ordered tea, Alastair - coffee until they waited for the food.
They talked about the lecture. It was about the history of the Ancient Near East. Alastair was half Persian and Thomas was fascinated to hear a few curious history facts about the Persian culture from him.
“I admit,” Alastair said. “My love of the Persian stories and songs is influenced by my mother. Sometimes she says it's her duty as a teacher to tell us, Cordelia and I, as much as she could about our heritage. Which of course has nothing to do with her profession but we don't say anything," Alastair laughed a little.
“Your mother is a teacher?” Thomas said curiously.
“Yes, for a few years now. She's a professor here.”
Thomas' eyes widened. “Wait, your mother is Sona Jahanshah?”
“The same,” Alastair said before drinking from his coffee.
“Whoa,” Thomas said with a smile. “I should have thought about it earlier. You have the same eyes.”
Alastair's eyes sparkled at this. He looked amused. “Most people would say we share the same temper not eyes.”
“This too,” Thomas laughed.
The conversation went in different directions a few times. They found out they share a great love for music. That Alastair's favorite book is The Prince by Machiavelli. Thomas in returned said his is Rubaíyat́ of Omar Khayyaḿ. They promised to read each other's favorite books because they haven't read it before. Thomas found out Alastair can play a piano and sing. Thomas wanted to hear him.
“What made you choose to come to France?” Thomas asked at some point.
“It's mainly because me and Cordelia wanted to study here. Paris is one of the cities where we were the happiest. So we moved here.”
Thomas wanted to ask about his father but he knew from Lucie Cordelia and Alastair's father was a sensitive topic so Thomas decides to leave it alone.
“How about you? Are you a big fan of France?”
“Not exactly,” Thomas laughed nervously. “Actually, coming to France doesn't seem very wise. My father wanted me to go study in Spain or Wales. Which would be logical because I know Spanish and Welsh. My father has connections in Spain and Lucie's father is Welsh. I started to learn French only a year ago. But...” Thomas tried his best to explained it. When he was saying it out aloud it sounded like a stupid decision but it makes sense Thomas' head. “It's about the university. The history of this city. I admire it. Lucie and I talked about it and our parents let us study here only because they know we're together.”
The waiter came to serve them the food and Thomas paused. He even didn't remember ordering a second time.
“You probably think I'm silly," Thomas said, feeling stupid.
“No, no," Alastair shook his head. “Not at all. I think I understand.”
Thomas looked at his eyes. He believed him.
“Also, you speak Spanish, Welsh and learn Farsi and French? I'm impressed.”
Thomas smiled a little shyly at that. He didn't mind compliments but coming from Alastair felt different.
The time was passing and they barely noticed. They both missed their lectures but as much as it was unusual for Thomas he barely cared. He did not regret the time spent with Alastair.
They exchanged numbers and social media. Alastair promised to send him more book recommendations. Thomas kept smiling the whole day.
the tree: sorry luce i can't have lunch with you today
small bean: ooooh, and why is this, little john?
the tree: i'm just not hungry
small bean: yeah yeah and i'm cinderella
small bean: are you seeing someone? someone dark haired maybe?? 👀
Thomas blushed a little and put his phone back into the pocket without answering.
“Ready to go?”
“Yep,” Thomas followed Alastair through the exit and together left the university.
They sat in the same place as the last time. Even on the same table. Thomas liked that.
“Okay, I suggest not to miss our lecturers this time,” Alastair said.
“Agreed,” Thomas said, laughing. “I can't survive this class only on Lucie's notes.”
They talked about books. They both have read each other's favorite book now and had thoughts to share. Alastair passionately talked about one quatrains of Rubaíyat́ of Omar Khayyaḿ while Thomas was eating from his toast. Since he left London he has forgotten the pleasure of talking about books with someone who was as much investigated in it as Thomas.
Same as the last time the conversation went in different directions. They talked a little about themselves.
“I miss my friends and family,” Thomas admitted. “We were always together, very close to each other. It was weird at first when I came here, without them being around.”
“Tell me about them.”
With almost every other person Thomas would think they were trying to make small talk. Alastair though, Thomas knew, didn't speak things he doesn't mean.
So Thomas told him. He told him about his sisters but not much about Barbara who had passed away because he felt like this was too personal. About the Merry Thieves and a little bit about how they're families were friends.
In return Alastair told him about the cities he had traveled to and what he likes about them, which places were beautiful, the history of them. After his parents' divorce when Alastair was almost 18, he, Cordelia and Sona moved to Paris because the siblings wanted to study here.
They could talk for many more hours but an alarm sharply interrupted them. It was Alastair's phone. He shut it down.
“This is for me. My lecture starts after ten minutes.”
“Oh,” Thomas couldn't hide his disappointment. “Okay.”
“Hey, do you want... to meet tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow is Saturday?” Thomas said, confused. “We don't have classes.”
“I know,” a strange look appeared on Alastair's face. Thomas in shock realized it was nervousness. “Actually, I... I’m asking you to go on a date with me.”
Thomas' heart skipped a beat. It was impossible to stop the smile on his face.
“Okay.”
“You're nervous.”
“I am not,” Alastair said defensively. Cordelia arched an eyebrow. “Okay, maybe a little bit.”
“Try not to freak out too much. He's just a guy.”
“A guy with a cute smile.”
“Yeah,” Cordelia laughed. “But you're cute too.”
Alastair frowned at her. “Don't you have homework?”
“I have,” she admitted. “But I also have a brother who has a date.”
Alastair sighed. “He is far from the first guy I have a date with.”
“But he's the first after you-know-who.”
Alastair shook his head. “His name is not a trigger. You can say it. And it doesn't matter. It was a long time ago.”
It wasn't too long ago and Alastair maybe wasn't too happy about his situation with Charles but Cordelia didn't need to know this.
Alastair out on his shoes and coat. The weather wasn't too chilly.
“Actually, I meant... Doesn't matter,” Cordelia said. “Just have fun, remember he is just a guy as nervous as you and don't break his heart because he's Lucie's friend and I like her.”
Alastair couldn't help it but smile. He kissed his sister's forehead and went out.
Thomas saw Alastair coming and tried not to look too anxious or look if his clothes were okay. 
And he tried his best not to stare at the gorgeous view Alastair was.
Alastair led them on the way to the place he had in mind. It was far from the center, in a small alley that had one beautiful fountain. As they entered the small restaurant Alastair said a few words to the staff member and she immediately led them to their table.
It wasn't what Thomas imagined. They went upstairs. This floor was definitely emptier than the first one - the tables were farther from one another, with only a couple of people on them.
Their table was on the balcony. Thomas' breath stopped when he saw the view. He barely noticed as they sat and the waiter put menus in front of them.
Paris was beautiful during the night. The city of lights. The Eiffel Tower stood gold and sparkling.
“It's beautiful,” Thomas said and turned to Alastair. He caught him staring at Thomas with a smile on his lips. 
“It really is,” Alastair said and also looked at the view before opening his menu. “I got lucky to reserve a table here. Part of which was that my mother and the owner are good friends,” Alastair laughed.
Thomas smiled and also opened his menu. “So. What do you recommend?”
Alastair carefully scanned the page he was on. “The toast is awesome. And the desserts are unique. Here is the best tiramisu in Paris.”
“You really like coffee, don't you?” Thomas said with a smile.
“Yes,” Alastair said. “I admit, I do love coffee a hella lot.”
Soon the waiter came to take their orders. After he left, Thomas said, “I'm curious about something. How did you come out? Wait, are you out to your family? Is this a sensitive topic? Oh god, I'm so-”
“It's okay,” Alastair laughed. “Do you always ask every guy such questions on the first date?” he teased.
Thomas blushed a little. “Well. Sometimes,” he cleared throat. “Anyway! Answer my question. Or don't if you don't want to.”
“I'll answer,” Alastair said, trying to hide a smile.“I came out to Cordelia first, a few years ago. Then she convinced me that coming out to Mâmân wouldn't be a disaster. And she was right. It was difficult at first. But it's mostly fine right now.”
The waiter came with their drinks - ginger beer for Thomas and black decaffeinated coffee for Alastair. 
“How about you?” Alastair asked after they were alone again. “Are you out?”
“I am kind of out to my family and friends too, yes.”
“Kind of?” Alastair arched the eyebrow.
“It's a funny story actually,” Thomas said. “At first, one of my cousins, Anna, came out as non-binary lesbian. Not long after this Matthew, one of my best friends, came out as bi. And you see, in some way they cleared the path for me. When I came out no one was even surprised. I think they kind of expected everyone to come out as gay at some point,” Thomas laughed.
He didn't mention how sickly anxious he was to come out because he was worried his parents would react bad. Or how he worried his friends and sisters won't understand. Or the irrational, freezing fear to let even one person know something so personal about him. 
They talked more about London. Alastair said he was there only once but would like to visit again. They joked that Lucie would drag Cordelia there for the first holiday that appears.
At some point they started to talk about Paris. Which museums they have visited so far. Alastair was scandalized Thomas hasn't visited the Louvre yet. They agreed they should go to one museum together some day.
It was a beautiful night, warm, with a nice breeze. They talked for long, so long they were the only ones left in the restaurant. In another time, in another life the same was happening. They were both different people, with different pasts and so different memories, unsaid words and broken hearts. But as the city of light was watching over them tonight they had this sweet memory, echoing through the centuries.

May 28-30:
The last week of school finally arrived. Tuesday we begin the day by playing spike ball. Celeste and I laughed a lot because we could barely play, we had fun. Then ASB elections came and I delivered my speech. I’m glad I didn’t embarrass myself. The rest of the study hall I don’t remember what I did but I probably hung out with moni, abel, and Caleb. in bible class we have a study hall and we played UNO. It was fun. There’s nothing like hitting someone with three +2 or a +4 when they least expect it. During lunch we hold a pretty sad class meeting. The rest of the day ? I’m not sure about.
Wednesdayyyy- I take my biology final and let me tell you I wanted to jump off the balcony. The diagram she gave us as our study sheet was NOTHING like the actual pig. At one point we were all straight up comparing our answers and helping each other. I give mrs griffin a B+ for teaching. In worship groups ms nelson gave us one last worship talk. Then in band we played pomp and circumstance for a straight eight minutes. Then aubreyanna and I run back to finish our tests and we were at one point just giving each other the answers. Ms Jordan almost gave us a 0, but we got away with it. In art class sona and I paint celeste. We take pictures and then for lunch I feed abel, moni, and Caleb. My moms food SLAPPED and I hadn’t eaten meat in forever. The rest of lunch was spent cracking jokes and signing Caleb’s yearbook. In geometry I wrote a tumblr post three times because it kept deleting saying it was against the guidelines ??? Idk, but then in history I took a sweet sweet nap. We finally finish Roman Holiday in English and it was a 5/10. Not the best movie. Then after school we had VOLLEYBALL. Woohooo!!! It was so fun. I got some good hits in and a block? Wowie. Then during one of our water breaks I see a missed call from the Starbucks store that’s been trying to reach me. In a desperate plea I call them back and she actually answered! I spent half an hour talking with the manager, Lupita. We schedule an interview and then I head back to play volleyball with the happiest heart.
Thursday-
It was hard to wake up today. I was tired tired. At school we go through our gym lockers and clean them out. I pull out my monopoly and we begin a game between me, aubreyanna, hailey, sona, david, and ethan. It was pretty intense and went everywhere. At one point I was living the best life, full of money. And then I had to quit because I was -$1700 in the bank with only $6. During lunch we go over our game plan. Then we play against the staff and I can for sure say I have permanently left my basketball history in the past. After we lost we head outside for ice cream. I over heard the freshmen talking and I got upset. In the student lounge I play uno with sona, celeste, ethan, david, aubreyanna, gabe, and I. Then as I’m walking out of the locker room celeste goes “Ethan just asked me out” and I was surprised. I didn’t see that one coming. Emi drives me to my interview and I sit outside for a little bit. Then I head inside and say I’m here for an interview. The guy working goes “you actually exist!” And yeah I do haha. Our interview goes well and Lupita is the coolest person I’ve met. I just hope that she hires me. I make it just in time for the 236 and then at home I clean like there’s no tomorrow. It’s been a year let me tell you.

Sex Toy Education: Clitoral Vibrators
Hey I’m Katie and I contribute to an informational website all about adult toys. You can view all my articles here:
https://sextoyeducation.com/
In this post I wanted to share one of my recent reports on clitoral vibrators. I hope you enjoy it:
It’s 2019 ladies, lets face it, the cat’s out of the bag.
Everybody knows we enjoy sex, as well as, sex toys!
With that being said basic vibrators have become the thing of the past.
You no longer just have the Traditional Vibrators.
You now have Realistic Vibrators, Rabbit Vibrators, G-Spot Vibrators, Clitoral only Vibrators, Speciality Vibrators, and the list seems to go on.
Intimidated? Feeling overwhelmed?
Never fear, that is why I (Katie Barker) is here!
What Type of Vibrator should I look for and why?
Hold onto your clitoris ladies, as long as you keep reading, today you will learn why you NEED a Clitoral Vibrator in your life.
I am going to save you so much time and hassle with this tip of advice, seeing as, more than 70% of women NEED clitoral stimulation to orgasm.
I am definitely part of that 70%, furthermore, don’t spend years of your life like I did.  Thinking you are to blame for your lack of orgasms.
Chances are you and your partner are just neglecting one of the most important stimulators. The clit! Find more info on what happens to your body during sex here.
The vibrators I am about to show you will not only encourage you to experiment with your lover. It will show you that you don’t necessarily need a lover with one of these Clitoral Vibrators also.
What is it?
What is a Clitoral Vibrator you ask? Well let me tell you.
A clitoral vibrator is the Mercedes of vibrators. Main purpose is designed to stimulate the clitoris, to reach sexual pleasure and orgasm.
Different Types
The different types vary from each one some allow for clitoral stimulation and penetration stimulation. Others are only for clitoral pleasure.
Some come with Rabbits attached to them, some in forms of bullets.
The world is your oyster when it comes to the different types, shapes and styles a clitoral vibrator can come in.
Different Styles
They also range in different styles/forms that are so discrete. Some even look like lipstick or phones that you can throw in your purse for everyday use.
Others looks like bath soap or facial massager. You can just leave them laying out and no one would question if it was a vibrator they would just assume it is just another bar of soap or facial massager.
Different Shapes
The shapes range from very a sensual curve to give you the most ample grip. To a long slender arch for better control and penetration.
Most Clitoral Vibrators are usually silky smooth for better touch, along with, to help feel the deep soothing rumbles from within.
What should you get?!
Don’t worry, that is where I come in.
I have broken down the top Five picks for best clitoral vibrators in 2019!
I know right? Isn’t it great that I went ahead and took the research load off of you?
I have broken down each vibrator with their different features, pro’s and con’s, along with, overall usability.
Now without further to do.
My Top Five Clitoral Vibrators
Magic Wand Massager Rechargeable
Let me start by saying that the overall usability of this vibrator is five stars out of five.
Once you put this on your clit you are on a rocket to pleasure town!
It is one of the very few toys that repetition is not an issue when it comes to my orgasm. It is speedy and easy to control.
I would recommend for a more pleasurable experience to maybe apply coconut oil or lubricant around the clit before starting.
Mainly due to this vibrator leaves you wanting for more. This will help you be able to do just that.
Otherwise you can feel a bit too sensitive or raw after a few uses.
The different features on the Magic Wand Massager rechargeable are what make it stand out.
3 hours to fully charge AND will run for 3 hours on a full charge
Cordless
One-year Warranty
Weighs 21 Ounces (1Lbs .05 Ounces)
Plug ‘n’ Play use while plugged in
Auto shut off after 20 minutes
4-speed selector switch
Silicone Head
Rechargeable wall plug in
4 different vibration patterns
I was skeptical at first. I didn’t think this wand could give me the clitoral pleasure I needed.
But in the end, it turned out to be more than I could have imagined from such a simple design.
I broke down the Magical wand into some pro and cons to help you better choose what works best for you.
Pros
Powerful vibrations
Flexible neck for hard to reach places
More durable than other vibrators
Rechargeable
Cordless
Easy to clean
Able to buy different attachments
Travel friendly
Cons
Out-of-date look and design
Only 4 vibration settings
Not waterproof
Bulky compared to other clitoral vibrators
More expense vibrator
We-Vibe Touch Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator
Next on my list is the silky smooth and power clitoral vibrator.
This vibrator provides such a deep and power rumble that you won’t be able to put it down.
This We-Vibe Touch leaves you feeling like there isn’t anything or anywhere you can’t be touched. No pun intended.
The features on the We-vibe Touch Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator seem to go on and on, however, in a good way.
Rounded tip to help touch every inch
An easy-hold shape for better gripping
8 different vibration modes
USB rechargeable
Last up to 2 hours on a full charge
Fits in the palm of your hand
Waterproof
Made from silicone
Take 90 minutes to fully charge

I would like to point out that everyone has different preferences when choosing a vibrator and for many different reasons.
My reason for choosing my favorite out of the five is because of discreteness, comfort when holding, and overall pleasure.
Bringing my choice to be the last pick I talked about. The Lelo Sona Cruise Sonic Clitoral Massager.
This vibrator has it all for me personally. It has the discrete factor. Since it looks like a facial massager to me and most house guests.
Along with, the luxurious and comfortable feel it provides, you can take it anywhere, water, travel, etc.

You both just sat there on your floor not saying anything to each other. You didn’t know what to say to each other. You were still shocked and confused on why he was at your place. You don’t know whether to call the cops or not. On one hand if you call the cops he will learn his lesson on not to break and enter someone else’s house. But if you do call you will be out of a job and you’ll have to start all over to find a new job. You bit your bottom lip and looked up at him. You had a lot of questions but nothing came out. He just sat there waiting for you to say something. He sighed.
“Why?” First word said after a whole twenty minutes of silence.
“Why what? Be more specific please.”
You really wanted to roll your eyes but you didn’t want to disrespect him. “Why did you break into my house?”
“Well your door was open and I made sure no one was home,” he said with no emotion in his face. “I wanted to make sure you were fine.”
“You care about me?”
“Well you do work for my company. And I do care for all my employees.”
A small smile appeared on your face, “Well thank you. You can leave now.”
He got up and left without hesitation, and without saying goodbye. You watch him leave. You looked around the living room to see if anything was missing. You walk to your room and see a black bag. You opened it and saw black shoes in a box. You looked up and ran to the front door and watched him leave. You ran out into the street but he was already making the turn away from your neighborhood. You looked down at the bag and wondered why he gave you those shoes. As you enter into the house you wondered about the price of the shoes. You sat on the couch and reached inside and didn’t see a price tag. You got your computer and looked up the shoe brand and looked for the exact shoes. After what seemed hours you finally found the shoes you were looking for you saw the price. Your eyes almost popped out of your head. You refreshed the page multiple times just to make sure you were looking at the right page. You closed the computer. As much as you loved the shoes you needed to return them.
You looked at the bag that was next to you when you got into work. You were not going to put your feet into those shoes. They were too beautiful for your feet. You made sure that he gets those shoes back. You made sure to meet up with him before you leave. You sat at your desk and fixed the rest of your files that were on the computer. You heard the elevator doors open, you stood up so quick that you got really dizzy really quick. You felt your body lean forward. You felt a pair of arms around you. You looked up and saw those beautiful brown eyes you saw when you feel during the meeting. It felt like you were in his arms for a long time. You finally slightly pushed him away. You bowed down and apologized. A small smile appeared on his face. He looked away from you and walked towards his office.
A few hours has passed and you looked down at the bag. You heard the door opened. You looked up and saw him leave. You knew it was his lunch time or meeting time. You watched him leave. You grabbed the bag and walked towards his office. You set the bag down and walked towards the doors. But you stopped and turned back around and looked at the bag. You needed to leave a note. You walked over to his office and looked for something to write on. You looked for a paper or a sticky note, but none were on top of his desk. You bit down on your finger and argued with yourself whether you should look through his desk or not. You decided not to. That would be disrespectful to him and you would feel really bad. You decided just to get paper from your desk and leave the note on his desk. You turned around and saw your friend Mona sitting down on a small couch. She looked into the bag and pulled out one shoe. She picked it up and sticked out her leg. You jogged to her to stop her.
“No!” you yelled as you threw yourself to grab the shoe before she can put them on. You landed on the floor without the shoe in your hand. You looked at the shoe that was on her foot. You heard the door opened. You looked at their feet. You kept your head down because you knew who it was. You didn’t want to be embarrass yourself even more. This is the second time you were on the floor in front of him. You got up and brushed yourself off ignoring that your boss was in the room looking at you.
“Mona why are you here?”
“I came to drop off some food and I saw you in here. So before I can say hi, I saw the bag and being the nosy person I am, I looked into the bag. I saw the shoes and I had a feeling inside of me telling me that I had to try them on. So I did. But why did you try to stop me?”
“I was trying to return the shoes.”
“Why?” you heard her and your boss say at the same time.
“Because these shoes cost more than my rent and my car combined. I can’t be having these shoes.”
A small chuckle came out of his mouth, “You know those shoes can’t be returned anymore.”
“What?” you turned your head to look at him.
“She put her foot on them already. I can’t return something that was use already.”
You grabbed him by the nice shirt he had on, “Please tell me you’re joking.”
He grabbed both of your hands and shook his head. He pulled your hands off of him, “I don’t joke around Ms. Y/N.”
You watched him walked towards his desk, “Please leave my office.”
You and Mona bowed your head and walked out. He watched you walk out arguing with your friend. He pressed the buttons that made the blinds come down. He smiled once the blinds were down and alone.
You swear you were going to murder her when you get home. You looked at the shoes again. You promised yourself at that moment that you will never wear those shoes. Even if they look nice and pretty. You heard the elevator doors opened. You looked at Youngjae and gave him a confused look. He shrugged his shoulders and he looked over your head and his face fell a little. You turn around and see a beautiful woman with short hair. She was wearing a beautiful red dress that fit her curves in all the right places and black heels. You bet even without the makeup she was wearing she would looked really beautiful. The both of you connected eyes. You couldn’t look away she looked really nice. She walked over to you. You felt yourself being pulled away from your desk. You see Jaebum holding your hand.
“Your welcome,” he said as he stopped in a different hallway.
“What?”
“I just saved your life.”
“What?”
He sighed, “I saw Sona walking over to the elevator. She didn’t look happy. I got into the elevator and rushed over to you before she could. I had a feeling that she was going after you. But once I saw her looking at you and started walking towards you I knew that the feeling I had inside was right. I knew that it was going to get ugly in there so I saved your life. I don’t want you to be even more embarrassed after you fell during the meeting. After about two or three days working here, you got yourself into a bit of drama.”
“Thanks I guess. And I don’t think I got myself into drama.”
“You don’t have to thank me. Y/N you did get yourself into drama. By the way I heard you were in the boss's office again. What happened?”
You sighed, “It's nothing that involves you.”
“Wow, you just hurt my feelings,” he said as he put his hand over his chest.
You smiled and laughed. He smiled as you laughed.
“I need to go back. I can’t be away from my desk for a long time. Come on.”
You both smiled and walked back. You see Sona and your boss arguing. You stopped making Jaebum crash into you. She turned her head and looked right at you.
“So you're the one that took my place.”
You bit your lower lip and looked at your boss. He was looking right at her. He didn’t move his eyes away from her face. She tried to walk over to you but he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him. She just let him do it without a fight. He looked at Jaebum and nod his head.
“Come one you need to work somewhere else.”
“Wait can Youngjae come with me?” You didn’t want to be alone in room.
“No. You need to be away from her. She might look small and pretty and defenseless but she’s a whole different thing. She can beat you to the edge of death. And Youngjae will be fine.”
You nod your head and grabbed your stuff and walked behind Jaebum, who was leading you somewhere else. You both walk into the conference room. You put your stuff down.
“Watch your step and make sure you down fall,” Jaebum laughed.
You looked at him and shook your head and laughed, “Shut up Jaebum.”
You started to work on the folders that Jaebum gave you. Since you didn’t have the computer with you. You forgot your laptop at your house. You started on the folders. Jaebum watched you work on them. You didn’t have too, since it was his job but he wanted to see if you could find what was wrong with them. You finally finished correcting all of them after two hours. You leaned back and stretched. You tucked some of your hair behind your ears. You see Jaebum looking right at you.
“Can I help you?”
“Have I seen you before?”
You thought for moment then shook your head, “I don’t remember seeing or meeting someone by the name of Jaebum.”
He nod his head once. “What do you think of Jinyoung?” you asked.
He raised his eyebrows, “Have you seen Jinyoung before?”
You shook your head, “I’ve only seen him on the news. But I couldn’t see his face since he wears sunglasses, mouth mask, and baseball hats. So no haven’t seen him fully.”
A small smile appear on his face, “What I think of him? Well I think he’s a cool guy.”
You looked at him and laughed at him comment, “Seriously?”
He nod his head, “What about you?”
“I don’t like him at all. Before you ask why, its because he seems like a person who takes money from his parents and use it all up. He lives on his parents money. Why doesn’t he just work like the rest of us? I get that he’s rich and his parents are filthy rich. I bet they can buy five companies and still have enough for them to live on until they die and give it all to the next genereation.”
He smiled at your opinion. He wanted to laugh at you for thinking that. But you two were getting close.
“You're the second guy who’s been talking to me, other than Youngjae. Thank you.”
He looked up at you and smiled, “Your welcome. I’m quite disappointed that I wasn’t your first.”
With that comment you blushed and looked out the window. You had a dirty mind and his comment made you think wrong. He looked at your face and saw how red you were. From the corner of your eye you looked at him and tried to hide your face. He got up and cupped your cheeks. He started to laugh at you, which made you blush even more.
“Oh you think so wrong.”
Jinyoung wanted to talk to you. He looked at the glass wall and saw how you and Jaebum were playing around with each other. Sona followed him and saw him looking at you and Jaebum. She had a feeling that he liked you. Jinyoung looked down and walked away. She watched him leave. A feeling inside of her was telling her that he felt some type of way to her. She walked back into where everyone else was working. She looked at her old desk and saw a shopping bag. But not just any bag. A shopping bag from a very expensive store. She looked at it. She bent down to look what’s inside it. Youngjae got in her way before she could have looked inside. She looked up at him.
He smiled, “You shouldn’t be looking through things that aren’t yours.”
She stood up straight and looked at him and smiled, “Anything at my desk counts being mine. So could you please move?”
“This isn’t your desk. You don’t work here anymore, remember?”
He gave her a fake smile and took the bag with him. She watched him walk away with the bag. She needed to know what it had inside.
Jinyoung stood at his desk and remembered you and Jaebum playing around in the conference room. He didn’t realized that Sona got in. She walked over to his desk and sat on it.
“What are you thinking about?”
Her voice took him out of his thoughts. He looked at her right in front of him.
“Get off of my desk. I need to get work done, so if you please.”
She looked at him. You walked towards his office to drop off the folders that Jaebum gave you. You opened the door without knocking. You look up and saw Sona sitting on his desk. You slowly walked over to his desk and dropped off the folders. You turn around to walk out.
“What was in that bag that was at your desk?”
You stopped and turned around and smiled, “Its none of your business. Now if you please excuse me, I have work to do.”
Jinyoung watch you leave his office. He looked up at Sona who was smiling down at him.
The boss finally left. Everyone was leaving also. You grab your stuff and dropped some of it at your desk. You wanted to go home. You were always the last one at your work to leave. You went down on the elevator and walked out. You hear someone sigh. You look to your side and see your boss in regular clothes, sitting on the grass near his building. You turn your head and tried to ignore him. But the nice person you are walked over to him. Jinyoung looked up when he heard heels clicking down on the pavement that was a few feet in front of him. He folded his hands together and brought them up to cover his lower part of his face. He rest his elbows on his knees. You stood in front of him. He looked up at you. You gave him a small smile. You got down on your knees and crawled next to him and sat down. He sighed and looked up at the sky.
“It's beautiful tonight,” you said. But he didn’t say anything.
You looked at him, “I never got to thank you for the shoes.”
He looked at you, “You're welcome.”
“Why did you give them to me?”
He didn’t answer. You press your lips together, “I wondered, what is going on between-”
“Me and Sona. I know everyone wants to know. And nothing is happening.”
Sona walked over to the building to wait for Jinyoung. She wanted to talk to him. She looked to her side and saw you and him on the grass. She saw the way you looked at him. She had that feeling you wanted him. She watched the love of her life talking to some girl that took her place. You looked down at your phone and saw the time. You needed to go home. You looked at your boss's eyes. He looked stressed and lost. Before you could say anything, Sona walked over to you guys.
“I was looking all over for you. Come on let's go.”
Jinyoung looked up at Sona, “Sona please leave.”
You looked at them and got up on your feet, “I should go.”
You took one step but your heel got stuck in the grass. You tried taking it out but it only made it worse. You lifted your leg up but you lost your balance. Jinyoung grabbed your hand. Which made you fall on top of him. You looked into his eyes. His look didn’t change. He still looked stressed and lost.
“I’m so sorry Mister Park,” you said in panic.
“Call me Jinyoung.”

2018 has been an interesting year for my reading. I finished my goal of 100 books, which is always my goal, in about September. Since then I have really struggled with my reading. October until now has been a long slump with random bursts of reading at certain points. I’m hoping I can get my mojo back in the new year.
In terms of the books I’ve been reading, I feel like this has been a really good year for what I’ve been reading. I feel like I’ve read a lot of diverse and/or queer books and of course, I hope to read more next year. I think my standards have raised as well as I 5 starred only 19 books and 3 manga issues. There have been a lot of books I rated 4 stars because I liked them enough but there was just something missing that didn’t make them a favorite.
So without further ado, here are my favourites of 2018 with links to reviews:
Dumplin’ and Puddin’ by Julie Murphy
I can’t believe I read Dumplin’ only this year. I feel like it’s a story I’ve known for a long time. Probably because I related to it so much. Puddin’ was the perfect sister story.
Dear Martin by Nic Stone
Like THUG but also very different, they deal with similar topics but in such different ways. It’s short but packs a punch.
Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai
The Forbidden Hearts Series has become my favorite romance series I’ve read yet. I need to read the final novel but I don’t want it to be over. They deal with heartache and trauma in such a wonderful way.
Autoboyography by Christina Lauren
I’ve read this book twice this year, physically and through audio. It’s one of those books that is both melancholy and happiness. It deals with religion in a way I didn’t expect and the main characters are just so interesting.
Off the Ice by Avon Gale & Piper Vaughn
I read this book after I dropped out of studying to become a teacher. My whole life was turned upside down and this took my mind off it a bit.
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francescha Zappia
Another book that helped take my mind off things. And had such good anxiety rep for me.
Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy
This book is messy messy messy but in a good way for me. And I felt like it had some really good poverty representation.
Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan
The perfect finish for one of my absolute favorite trilogies. I just didn’t want this story to end.
The Astonishing Colour of After by Emily X. R. Pan
At the time I read this it wasn’t a favourite. But as time went on I just couldn’t get it out of my head. It really left its mark on me. As someone who has been through a lot of grief and loss in her life this book was very cathartic.
From Twinkle with Love by Sandhya Menon
Another cute contemporary from Sandhya. Her characters are just so good and well developed. I’m so excited for her next book.
Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
This book destroyed me and I’m honestly terrified to read Queen of Air and Darkness. It’s just sitting on my shelf because after this book I do not know if I want to know what’s going to happen.
A Reaper at the Gates by Sabaa Tahir
I love every book in this series and I feel like Tahir doesn’t let me down. I just really do not know where it can go from here.
Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton
Like Gossip girl but instead of a bunch of white rich people it’s a bunch of diverse ballet dancers fighting for their spot over the white kids.
I’ll Be Gone In The Dark by Michelle McNamara
I won’t be writing a review for this. But just know that I love this book. I had a wee cry reading it. If you don’t know what this book is: the author died in 2016, in February 2018 this book was released, about her obsession with finding the Golden State Killer, in April he was finally caught. I wish Michelle had been able to see it.
Obsidio by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Another great finisher to a trilogy. I’m so happy with the way it ended.
What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera
I was worried about this collaboration but they didn’t let me down. This was a really sweet book that combined everything good about 2 of my fave authors.
Roomies by Christina Lauren
Read this within hours in the middle of a slump, it was so flipping addictive.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
My review hasn’t been posted for this yet but keep an eye out. This book had me sobbing on my flight to St. Lucia. I didn’t know what to expect with this book as so many of my twitter mutuals love it. But it really is that good. You really should read it.

Ahhh I can’t tell you how good it feels to be typing away at a blog post again! I don’t think you’re able to truly appreciate something until you have to leave it behind for a while. For those of you that thought I left the book community for good, I don’t blame you! I went virtually dark on here and on my bookstagram. The only place you might’ve seen me lurking for the last month is Twitter. But hopefully I’m here to stay for a long while!
The break I took—though for somewhat grueling purposes—was completely necessary. I’m in the deepest, darkest depths of my senior year of high school, and to all the people that told me it would be my best year yet, you’re a bunch of liars. College apps are, frankly, the absolute worst. I practically have my entire transcript memorized I’ve filled in my grades so many times. I’m also really sick of writing all about my Dreams and Goals and Hopes For the Big Bright Future Ahead of Me. (That all being said, I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to go to college, but I need a little venting space because the application process is rough). Finally, I’m just really tired of school. I’m tired of homework. I’m tired of getting up every morning at 6:30 am. Senioritis has got me bad, you guys. Adjusting to this year has been much harder on me than normal, so I needed time to figure out how blogging fits into my schedule. But I finally got an entire week off for Thanksgiving, and I knew I had to make this blog a priority.
Now, as I write this post, I think that taking a hiatus also made me realize something else. Though blogging is tons of work, I need it now more than ever. When I’m feeling overwhelmed by how much schoolwork I have, or all the impending exams I have to take, blogging is a great place to relax and talk about something fun. Which I really need at the moment.
Anyways, now that you’re all caught up on why I was gone, here’s a look at what I’ve been doing in my bookish life!
Recently Read
Just a few days ago I finished Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu (thanks to my mom for snagging an ARC at YALLFest, more on that later)! Although I don’t know a ton about Batman, I have to say this book was quite captivating. I loved the way Marie describes Gotham City, and how the book feels like a crime thriller. I’ll be posting a full review in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out!
I also read one of my most anticipated 2017 reads, The Language of Thorns, a few weeks ago! It’s too bad that I read this absolutely stunning book during my hiatus, I would’ve loved to fangirl with everyone about it (please, if you’ve read this, FANGIRL WITH ME ABOUT IT)! As always, Queen Leigh managed to reach my soul with her gorgeous writing and storytelling.  I think my favorite story would have to be When Water Sang Fire, though I adore them all!
Currently Reading
Okay, this probably seems pretty random. But believe it or not, I am one of the rare people on this planet that has yet to read this series. I’ve had the first book on my shelf since it came out in 2014 or some insanely old year (my TBR problem is really a catastrophe, I know). After attending a panel with Victoria Aveyard on Royal Politics and Schemery at YALLFest, I got the sudden itch to finally read this book! So hence why out of nowhere I’m picking up this YA “classic.” So far I’m enjoying it, but I can’t tell if it’s dystopia or fantasy? The mix of genres threw me for a loop, so if anyone wants to explain it to me, be my guest!
YALLFest 2017
Prepare yourselves bookworms, because I have pictures to share! About two weeks ago, I attended YALLFest in Charleston with my bestie @ Jordz the Bibliophile. It was actually my second time at the festival, so this time I went in with a lot more knowledge and an extensively planned schedule—well, an extensively planned schedule of giveaways, I should say. I got to meet several amazing authors and go to a couple panels/speeches, but the thing I’m most proud of is my haul. So I’ll save it for last. Here’s me with the authors I got to meet!
The authors from left to right: Laini Taylor (her line started two hours early!!), Becky Albertalli (sweetest person on the planet), Rhoda Belleza, Jeff Zentner, Sarah Nicole Lemon, Scott Reintgen (I may have gotten a sneak peek at the cover and title of Nyxia #2, that’s all I’m sayin’), Tomi Adeyemi (funniest. person. ever.), Dhonielle Clayton & Sona Charaipotra, aaaaand Jordyn being a goofball with me at the Penguin Red Carpet event!
Now for *drum roll please* THE HAUL:
I won’t be so obnoxious as to list everything out, but in the left photo are all the books I got, plus some tote bags. On the right are the posters, bookmarks, and other swag I collected throughout the day! I won’t lie and say I got all this stuff without even trying. During the week or so before the event, I scoured Twitter and Instagram for all the publisher announcements of ARC giveaways. Then I made an Excel spreadsheet and listed out all the potential giveaways I would wait in line for. At the event, I had my handy squadron of friends and family to jump between lines. It was an absolutely INSANE day, and now I have some serious reading cut out for me!
Now that you know what I’ve been up to, I want to hear from you all! What did I miss while I was gone? What is everyone currently reading? Did anyone else attend YALLFest this year?
Find me on: Instagram | Twitter | Tumblr | Goodreads | Bloglovin
I’m Back! And With More Books to Read Than Ever Ahhh I can't tell you how good it feels to be typing away at a blog post again!
