NSWF ABC's JAMES POTTER K-Z
smut 18 + If there's one missing i either didn't have an idea for it or didn't feel comfortable writing it
Tumblr media
Location
thighs, i did a blurb about this once. He just loves your thighs
Motivation
any physical touch with you can get him going, no matter how innocent. He loves just cuddling and kissing too don't get me wrong, but he definitely does not need a lot to to get going. I mean, it's you.
When you're sitting on his lap. You're just moving around trying to get comfortable when he grips your waist to stop you, kisses your shoulder, and informs you if you continue moving you'll have something poking at your ass. So you continue.
No
not a fan of anything that could hurt you. Why would he want to hurt his princess? He just wants to kiss you and make you feel good.
Oral
that man is a munch and you can't tell me otherwise. He loves the feeling of you desperately pulling at his hair and squirming under him, your thighs wrapping around his head to try and close your legs. If it didn't make it harder for him to lick at your pussy he wouldn't pull them apart again. He could go for hours, pulling orgasm after orgasm out of you while you cry out his name. He'd start out as a tease but after a while of you begging him to stop kissing everywhere but the place you need it the most he couldn't help himself and just dives right in.
Pace
slow and sensual all the way. He wants to learn your responses to what he does and kiss you while your face is screwed up in pleasure.
Quickie
he doesn't have anything against a good quickie but he much prefers to have you laid out in front of him slowly kissing all over your body
Stamina
could go for hours, several rounds. Switching positions and teasing you. He'd need a minute to recover after the first round so he just switches to eating you out or fingering.
Unfair
while he loves teasing you, he's not very good at it because he wants you just as bad. He'll tease you until you're begging while he's already humping the bed to not give in.
Wild card (random headcanon)
You two tried cockwarming once, while you were studying and he was whining and moaning about how badly he wanted you to move the whole time
Yes
please mark him. He loves to look in the mirror the days after and see remains of you. The scratches on his back are his favorite and whenever they stop looking so angry and red he makes sure to fuck you hard enough to get new ones.
zzZ
he refuses to fall asleep before you're both properly cleaned up. but as soon as that's done he's fast asleep with you in his arms.

“You ever think about becoming a father?”
“Mrrh?”
Thancred doesn’t repeat the question, letting it sit while his gaze is elsewhere. Off in the middle of the field at the Rookery, where Ryne is telling the boy — new boy, Taynor is his name, not quite as tall as the twins but just as wispy-soft and curious — about amaro eggs, presumably. Ch’ari lets his head tilt into his hand, leaving his tangerine half-eaten in the sunshine. 
His lips purse as he digests the question. Has he ever thought about it, yes, has he ever considered… well. The twins are like kittens to him, but not his kits in the same sense. And then this lost boy, and Ryne, and the Doman kids, and…
“Not really,” Ch’ari says. “You know it’s not like that with the Seeker tribes.”
“True. But you’re not in a Seeker tribe.”
“Hm.”
One of the amaro trills, flapping its first pair of wings, to the delight of the kids pampering it with treats and brushings. Ch’ari lets his tail swish along the warm cobblestone. 
“You’re good with them. Kids,” Thancred says, leaning back in his chair but watching Ryne get more confident as she pets the creature. “They listen to you. At least, better than they do me.”
“That’s because whenever you have to be around them you clam up like a constipated yak,” Ch’ari snorts. 
Thancred finally turns to face him. “What did you call me?”
“Constipated.” He points accusingly. “If you loosened up even a smidgeon around Ryne I bet she’d be starstruck. She might even share her feelings with you.”
The hyur either contemplates that or contemplates how to get back at Ch’ari, but wherever his mind goes, it gives up and he lets it go with a wave. “This was not a conversation about my bowel movements. Which are fine, I’ll have you know.”
“Gross.”
“You brought it up.”
A quiet returns to the table, distracted by the kids now being shown how to groom a young amaro’s feathers with Szem Djenmai’s guidance. Taynor seems nervous to pry at the beast and keeps touching then backing away, but Ryne has no such reservations. Her naïveté shows itself in odd ways sometimes, often making her more confident than she should be. In this case, however, it’s naught but helpful. 
Ch’ari drags his hand back through his hair and over his ears. “I don’t know,” he says. “Hydealyn seems to enjoy dropping children near me just to make me jump. Funny little joke of Hers.”
“Do you not like children?”
“I do. Or — well, I do now. They stress me out, but they’re more fun to be around than a lot of adults. Even if I feel like they need a permanent shield spell.” Thancred gives a low chuckle. “But, y’know, just because I’m not in a tribe officially doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s expected.
“Hyurs’re different. Falling in love and all that. Sounds like a fairytale, if you ask me.”
“You’ve never thought about falling in love?”
Ch’ari shakes his head. “Naw. I haven’t.” He pauses, growing contemplative, then dropping his voice. “We have though. Ardbert, I mean. Thought about it. We just never seem to have the time.”
“Mmm. I can commiserate with that.”
“Maybe one day. When everything ain’t quite so fast.”
Thancred nods slowly. “Save the plans for when the world slows down. Until then, for good or for ill, we’ll just have to make do with the time we have now and the surprises Hydealyn gives us.”
“Cheers,” Ch’ari says, lifting a wedge of tangerine.

Uri sketch! (Header art for "The Book of Life:")
Read the full chapter on Wattpad!^^
Here's a tease from where the art is from lol vv
Act 4, scene 4: The Book of Life: LUTE: You aren’t supposed to be here.  URIEL: [Play it cool!] It’s fine, why wouldn’t I be able to go to the library? LUTE: Are you here for the book or not? I don’t have time for your shit right now, kid.  URIEL: How’d you know?  LUTE: Hahah!-Did you think me sending Lilith back to Hell, immediately after Adam’s death, was for shiggles? No–your bratty baby sister fucked up the plan for the Universe with her little Hotel shtick. So now, I’m fast-tracking the ending. By now, the guard rotation has found our little friend, I’m sure Sera will know pretty soon after that… How long do you really think you have until you are the one Sera warns the children of becoming? URIEL: What’s that supposed to mean? How’d she interfere with the plan? She’s just trying to make more room in Hell!  LUTE: Sure, yeah, but it doesn’t matter. The second that little one-eyed freak killed Adam, the book must’ve changed. He wasn’t supposed to die!  URIEL: [Beat] Lute–No one wanted Adam to go out like he did.  LUTE: Shut up–You have no idea about what he wanted.  URIEL: I  know he didn’t want to die down there! And I know you don’t want him to have died, either. [LUTE looks as if she may cry. URIEL and LUTE sit together on the large staircase of the Library.] Look, I know you miss him, Lute. But–Charlie didn’t want that to happen, she’s just trying to right a wrong, y’know? And Adam, well–he can be a huge jackass, but, that’s what I’ll miss about him. He was funny, but also like–the fucking worst. LUTE: Mmm, yeah. I know what you mean. [They sit in silence as the Library’s shelves creak, a slight breeze drifts through the marble walls.] URIEL: So why didn’t you do it?  LUTE: Do what?  URIEL: What Sera told you, why didn’t you take me as a prisoner? That’s why you were here, we both know The Exorcists aren’t the most well-read. LUTE: Mm, I don’t know. But whatever the reason, I’m sure it will get me into trouble.  URIEL: Ditto.  LUTE: [Beat.] So what’s your excuse?  URIEL: Pardon?  LUTE: Why’re you still up here? You got your story, isn’t it time for you to go?  URIEL: Ah, you’re right. [He stands, cracking his knuckles, and flapping his wings awake.] Showtime.  LUTE: See you on the other side, Uri.  [URIEL salutes LUTE. Now, with personal Grimore in hand, he soars back out of the Library. LUTE watches on as URIEL flies into the distance, eventually slowing, allowing his momentum to carry him back down into the parent’s fiery ring of Hell.]

I was watching Lando’s onboard during the race. He wanted to pit late for softs which would have worked out a lot better without the slow stop and had they pitted him before Lewis pitted. Really unfortunate but he still had a really impressive race. He really did everything he could.

if I get told one more time that doing presentations in front of people gets easier and less terrifying with time I'm going to do something drastic people have been promising me that for 20+ years and it has yet to come true and even if it were true it sure wouldn't help much with the current terrifying presentation now would it

I'm never more aware of being autistic than when someone is trying to teach me something new.
Because there's this feature which I cannot for the life of me figure out how to adjust. Where. Whenever I ask for clarification on something (especially verbally, hence. Why I prefer written instructions and communication. Besides the fact that that's easier to process). It almost always gets taken as a challenge/argument to what I'm being told to do.
And for a long time I thought this was because I wasn't using enough question words™. So I tried making sure I always phrased my requests for clarification as explicitly that. Like. "So just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, you want me to do XYZ" instead of trying to say "So you want me to do XYZ" in a question tone™. Because even though I've seen other people do it repeatedly, with success, and, I hate talking and would rather use minimal words.
It just doesn't work for me I don't know what I'm missing but it never gets interpreted as a question. So explicitly adding the question framing should help right? Wrong.
It still gets taken as a challenge, except now I'm seen as questioning like. Either why someone wants me to do it a certain way, or what right they have to tell me, instead of just. Questioning the directions themselves.
When again I'm just trying to say I don't understand the directions. But if I say that. People ask what part I'm confused about. And then we get back to. The original problem.
But maybe the most frustrating part of all of this, and the "how do you know you're being misinterpreted and taken as challenging rather than clarifying". Is because people don't respond by rephrasing the directions or just repeat them slower or something. When I ask for clarification. They justify why I should do it that way, or sometimes if I've really pissed them off, why I am required to listen to them.
Which. Isn't what I fucking asked. I was already fine with following the directions. If someone is training me, especially at first, I already implicitly trust they know how to do something best, and understand there's a lot of "why" that I just don't have the context for yet, but which I don't need to ask about, because it'll probably become obvious once I start doing this on my own.
For example - "don't put your hand there when you push this". I don't see a reason that'd be a bad idea. As a kid, I would have immediately asked "Why not". Luckily I am now an adult with some social skills and critical thinking, and I can wait to figure out that they're just trying to focus on training me and didn't explicitly mention the "its because your fingers might get squished there if you press the buttons in this order, which we do rarely but sometimes it's necessary".
But the thing is. Most of the time I can't even get around the challenging thing by explicitly being like "can you repeat that" (which I will do if that's the issue, but it rarely is). Because. I heard the first (and maybe second) explanation. I just. Don't get it. Maybe I'm just slow. But I don't get that explanation. I heard you perfectly. And yet. I am very confused about what I'm supposed to be doing. Can you. Clarify as in rephrase.
But even if I try to be super clear and say exactly that. Like. "Sorry, I don't get what you're saying, can you rephrase it or explain it a different way, maybe that'll help". I either get met with incredulity (it's obvious/simple. How could you not get it) or confusion (person has never been asked this before and cant think of any other way to explain it) or usually, a mix of both.
So really. Asking for clarification is just. A high risk of pissing someone off and derailing the conversation besides. And. Very little chance of actually getting my point of confusion clarified at all. Which just means. I usually don't ask questions. I just stare very hard and try and commit everything to memory verbatim. And then replay it in my head afterwards and draw diagrams and hope I have everything I need to figure out anything I'm confused about myself.
Which. Sometimes means. I end up being told I'm such a fast learner! I'm so smart! I only had to be shown [entire complex process] once and now I can do it!
Because fear is a powerful motivator and I have lots of experience with how to memorize exactly how someone's hands are placed and exactly what they are saying, because it's usually little things like a choice of phrase or some gesture that clarifies the thing I'm stuck on. Because the answers usually have to do with an unstated assumption someone is operating off of, one which I don't have and can't get them to tell me directly because I can't fucking ask for clarification. Not because I'm. Against it in theory.
But then other times especially if I'm unfamiliar with the context. I can memorize the process but I can't figure out how it works. Which means I look like a quick learner right up until I have to add something or modify the skill to meet my own needs. And then I can't do it at all. And then people are very confused.
Which. Just. I am so aware of the autism when I'm learning things! It's so!! Fun!!!

we did a short 5km hike this past weekend after i hiked all 15km of the calanques the day prior (without nova obv). once he’s more in shape & it cools down we’ll go down to the water!
#dogblr#sheltie#nova#2022#he’s still adjusting to the heat#i’ve been walking him right before dusk so it’s cool enough and i don’t fear of getting mugged but#idk#idk if it’s him just maturing and picking and choosing what he likes to do best and prioritizing that energy for that#and being very obvious with what he doesn’t like#or if it’s moving to a city where we see lots more of cars and traffic and bikes and noisenoisenoise and constant input that’s making him#more reserved and stand off ish#or if it’s both#even in the US he started showing disinterest in walks and hikes#he perks up when i offer to do parkour#and i do mean PERK like his behavior completely cha he’s#he goes from this old looking dog who takes 5 min to sniff a spot to bouncy and barks and excited in .5secs when i say ‘i ready?’ and point#to a bench or rock for him to jump on#i also think he just doesn’t know how to pace himself#he either canters or walks or trots just for .5secs then walks or canters bc he’s falling behind and whatnot#Koa trots TOO fast and i have to ask her to slow down all the time but Nova? it’s a combo of all sorts of speeds#so instead of having a consistent trot he’s constantly switching and using up more energy#anyways on top of that i wonder if it’s also his endurance that’s lacking#but tbh it may just be a combo of everything#i try to make walks more exciting and enjoyable#we’ve been going to a park to do off leash parkour and training stuff and he LOVES it#he also gets to say hi to people and dogs and socialize a little#which i think he enjoys a lot bc he does love people and attention#which takes us about an hour total and YES i will still walk him bc playing in the yard is never enough for him#he always ends up staring at me for 30min with a bark or two in my ear until i’m too annoyed to ignore him#but anyways all that to say there’s Lots going on and Nova is still adjusting and I am still adjusting and we’re trying our very Best

My doctor has me on diabetes meds even though I don't have diabetes as a prophylactic, and it's taken... 2? years now but I've been slowly noticing some weight loss and it's like oh cool so the sudden weight gain when I was in my late teens was indeed due to the whole metabolic disorder thing and not just age. Neat. Awesome. Cool. Not at all unnerving

how fleeting huh
#🌙.rambles#i rlly need to be more consistent in sleeping earlier bcs these thoughts r just#ah no. they're always there. most of the time. i just take my mind off them throughout the day n.#idk i'm not in the mood to expound on that rn but it's just so bittersweet#i'm. the kind of person to keep on looking n moving forward. onwards. ever towards the morrow.#can't be helped after all when. i genuinely am curious n interested in life. i want to reach far n high n yeah#but i'm sentimental too n sensitive n emotional n i want to hold on i want to remember#but even that's just not enough n at times it really gets so hard to live w the burden of it all. it's so heavy isn't it?#i'm passionate with literature n games n music n.. i want to take in as much as i can. learn. but also create. bcs there's a lot in me too.#n it#it's just. yk when it's simultaneously so confusing n comforting. with how life is just so full of possibilities n so full of depth n#meaning n then there's stuff too like not only my personal life n the personal lives too of the ppl i personally love but#the world as a whole w. just. all the pain in general. it weighs me down too which is why when i was younger it'd be rlly#draining to be more politically-aware but. i don't fare well with ignorance either n life is just so full of contradictions#n sometimes i think too much i feel too much#too fast too slow too little too much.#but that thinking is.. i think bcs there's a standard or smth that we have in our minds#if we just. embrace who we are at our core. as humans. n let go of all those extra stuff n all#then i think i'd be more at peace. with more freedom. i feel so restrained in this#uh. it's nearly 2 am n i'm multitasking smth before i sleep so i'm not sure if this is the right word but postmodern society? not sure#but yk this society where.. toxic social media culture n then. the distance between us. the lack of understanding n sincerity#just. hurts me so much. i hate it. it's so lonely. this world is so lonely yk? as a whole#but ahh i'm thinking too much again n that combined w my own personal struggles w pushing myself to do the best i can#& then. fuck social anxiety i just can't help overthinking too often but yeah. Yeah.#i'll go sleep in a bit tho. i think i'll just do more tomorrow.

it was too much i had to make my own post
Tumblr media
line cook here. ACCURATE
if you don't get the hate, here's what you don't understand.
it takes up to 2 hours to close down the kitchen.
The last 60-90 minutes before closing time you do almost no cooking because the restaurant doesn't have many people in it and you've already cooked most of their diners.
So if someone walks in during, like, the last hour, the cook is in the middle of an industrial deep clean of the kitchen.
(these numbers can vary quite a bit from place to place but i have worked several restaurants with these actual times and the concept remains the same)
Say the place closes at 10. If you wait til the restaurant is already closed to start all your cleaning duties, you'll be there until at least midnight.
More than that your boss knows that on an average night you can start your clean up as soon as the last rush ends and get out of there around 10:45, even 10:15 on a slow night if you get lucky. That means there are plenty of restaurants where if you do take until midnight the manager is going to come up to you at some point that week and ask you what went wrong that night, and you'd better have an answer.
So this example restaurant closes at 10 pm. The dinner rush ends around 8:30, and shortly after that the cook is going to start getting every single dish possible over to the dishwasher because the dishwasher always gets hit hard and late, and the machine runs for 2 full minutes and only holds so many dishes, so the way that works out is if you wait an extra 30 minutes to give the dishwasher all your stuff it can mean adding like 60 minutes to the end of his shift. And you're gonna KEEP finding shit to send to the dishpit right up until you leave probably.
all these little square and rectangle containers in this cold table have to be pulled out and changed over into new containers, replaced by new full ones, or in some cases filled from larger containers in the back, which can result in even more empty containers to send to the dishwasher.
Tumblr media
while it's all pulled apart to do this, you have to clean up all the spilled food and sauce and juices and stuff from the joints and ledges and shelves and drip trays
Once you get your line changed over in this way, and fully stocked, anytime someone orders something that makes use of a bunch of that stuff, you have to restock and re-clean it some. It might already be covered in plastic. Some of it might already be stuck in the back to make room to take apart your cutting board counter to clean. To cook a dish isn't TOO much of a problem at this point, but you're really hoping for zero orders because you still have so much other cleaning to do.
Meanwhile the salad bar and appetizer section and server station and everybody are all doing the same thing. Even the bartenders are stocking olives and lemons and sending back whisks and stir spoons and shakers and empty 4quart storage containers that used to hold the back-up lemons and olives and things. Every section is dumping their must-be-cleaneds to the dishpit as fast as possible because early and fast is the only thing they can do to to help that dishpit not absolutely drown into overtime.
The poor dishwasher is always the last to clock out, soaking wet and exhausted.
Around this time you probably scrub the flat top, which has turned black from cooked on grease and is still about 500 degrees. Line cooks are divided in opinion on water-based or oil based cleaning methods for this, but they all involve scrubbing with (usually) a brick of pumice stone using every ounce of your strength while you try not to burn yourself
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you scrub it from fully blackened to gleaming silver and now if somebody orders something that needs the flat top to cook, you can either fuck up your cleaning job or fake it in a couple frying pans and pass that tiny fuck you down to your dishwasher (who usually understands, especially if you help them take the garbage out or clean your own floor drain later)
If there's deep fried stuff on the menu then the fryers have to be cleaned out, which includes straining the oil out into enormous and super-heavy pots full of oil so hot that if you spill on yourself then it's probably a hospital visit and if you slip and fall face first into it it'll be the last thing you ever do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then you gotta scrub out the fryer. Like you gotta take the (hot) screen out and reach your arm down into the weird rounded pipes and curved areas (so hot, burn you if you brush against them hot) and scrub off whatever is down there
Tumblr media
Depending on your kitchen you might have to do up to four of these. Then you'll have to pour the (dangerously hot) oil back in
oh, and if you didn't dry the pipes and get ALL the water out of the trap and tank?
water reacts with hot oil in a sort of mentos and coke way that can send a tidal wave of oil past the open flame of the pilot light ...HUGE dangerous mess and/or burn down the kitchen if the oil lights up.
Tumblr media
Unless! If the oil has been used too hard and needs to be changed, it's time to carry those open topped super heavy pots full of will-kill-you-hot oil and dump them in the barrel outside by the dumpsters so you can put room temp fresh oil in the fryers. whew!
The clean up is not just some light wiping down that can be easily interrupted, is what i'm saying.
You might have to do some kind of walk-in duty (moving around 50lb cases of lettuce and 50lb bags of onions to get to the stacks of five gallon buckets full of salad dressings and sauces to move so you can reach the giant metal pots and bus tubs full of prep and get it all organized and make sure it's all labeled and i have to stop now i'm having flashbacks)
THE POINT IS
by 15 or however many minutes to close, the line cook is doing an intense deep clean and probably has the whole stove taken apart to detail.
For some industrial stoves this means lifting off large cast iron plates that weigh like 20 lbs each and are still quite hot. Whatever metal burners are on there, you gotta take off and clean, you can see here the lines that indicate the large thick cast iron rectangles that sit on top of the burners to allow heavy pots to rest on. Those five (each has one front burner hole and one back burner hole, see?) have to be lifted off and cleaned with soap and a wire brush usually, and then the underneath area also has to be cleaned because a lot of shit falls through the burner holes on a busy night.
Tumblr media
if you didn't do it when you did the flat top you have to do the grease trap (which can be like a full five minutes and is always disgusting).. You gotta clean out all the little gas jets in each burner with a wire or something so the burners all flame evenly, and sometimes you have to remove some of the natural gas piping that connects the burners to access where you have to clean.
you gotta clean out the bottom of the oven and the wire racks, and, oh gods, you gotta take down the filter vents from the hood fans above the stove.
See all the lined parts along the top of the wall?
Tumblr media
those are hood vents, and as they pull air up they also pull a lot of grease and they have to be taken down and cleaned, then you gotta climb up there and scrub where they go before you put them back...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then there's the mopping and floor drains and...
Anyway, that's what the line cook is doing when you walk in fifteen minutes before closing and order something that needs to be cooked on that stove. They are doing an entire industrial cleaning of a professional kitchen.
In some restaurants maybe one or two of these jobs will be every other night or even only twice a week, but in many, possibly most kitchens, ALL of these things happen EVERY night. You don't want to leave any food mess that might attract insects or rodents for one thing, so a really good kitchen is as close to brand new as you can get it every night.
IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO ORDER SOMETHING ANYWAY, HERE IS WHAT TO DO
open with an apology and ask the server to go ask what the cook would prefer you to order.
Any good server will already know what the cook is hoping for and what will make their line cook go into the walk in and scream. If it's significantly less than an hour to close and they say some variant of "oh anything is fine" they are either telling the lie their boss wants them to say, or they actually do not know what their line cook wants, and you can either use human connection and a conspiratorial just-between-us tone to get them to drop the customer-is-always-right act, or get them to actually go ask the cook.
It might be as specific as "the lasagna is easiest on the kitchen" or it might be a simple guideline like "nothing that requires the flat top" or "any of the sautés are easy" but a good line cook will probably have a system for if they have to make a couple of the most popular items after they start their close, so the answer is likely to include something most people like and you should be good to order that.
but for the love of all that's holy, please only do so at great need. Leave that last 30-60 minutes to the truly desperate and the crew's duties.
