hmmm… creeper hybrid mike…

i’m thinking about how electricity would have a much more pleasurable effect on him than painful, what with charged creepers and all… it would be like a little burst of dopamine (or pleasure) depending on how/where it’s used…

that, combined with the fact his soulmates last name is TAZER? yeah… yeah. body worship (i adore your chubby mike post more than life itself, put some meat on that man’s bones) and electricity…

- ✒️

Okay, I've never written this type of kink before but it was so good I had to finish it today. Thank you for your service o7

Mike likes to indulge Pac.

He likes making his soulmate happy; he likes it when Pac likes things. It's also a bonus when he gets something out of it.

Mike is laid back in their bed, hands tied above his head with a lapful of Pac. He's unsure what Pac has planned, but he doesn't mind either. Pac asked to dom him, so Mike let him. He relaxes against the sheets and closes his eyes. Pac's been feeling him up for a bit now. Hands exploring the dips and curves of his body, squeezing at his stomach and sides, nails digging into skin and making Mike hum softly. It's nice, a pleasant background, and a hum of pleasure. Mike can feel how wet Pac is through his boxers.

See, Mike's hybrid nature means that electricity has a pleasurable effect on him, naturally reacting to the promise of power that it brings. Mike groans softly and jerks again as Pac presses the tip against his side, laughing at his reaction. His dick twitches, and he takes a shaky breath.

He's starting to get a little bored when the first shock comes.

It shoots through his body, making him tingle and jerk in response. The pure rush of energy, of power. His eyes fly open and land on the device in Pac's hand; it's a low-energy tazer. Something Mike developed himself, made to send light shocks through livestock and mobs to get them to go where they needed to go. Mike swallows hard, Pac's got a sweet smile on his face, and Mike knows that means he's in for it.

"Feels good, Mikey?" Pac mumbles, grinding down on Mike's half-hard dick and shuddering at the feeling. Mike pouts at Pac and grinds his hips up, rubbing just right against Pac's little dick. Pac gasps and rests his hands on Mike's chest to catch his breath.

"Feels good, Paccy?" Mike growls, and Pac pushes himself up. He shifts until he's settled between Mike's legs and grins at him, eyes dilated and dangerous. Mike's body reacts on instinct, heating up and sending blood rushing straight to his dick.

Pac taps the toy a few times against Mike's right inner thigh, and with every zap, Mike is gasping and twitching. Pac is loving it. Mike can feel his arousal seeping through their link, making Mike's head feel fuzzy.

Mike isn't reactive naturally. He likes to be in control. He's rarely the one who's a gasping, whining mess. Of course, the exception is always with Pac. Pac knows him more than he knows himself. Knows every way to drag noises and reactions out of Mike.

Mike breathes, gritting his teeth and squeezing his eyes closed as Pac presses the tip meanly against the left thigh, close to his groin. Mike pulls at the binds around his wrists, and Pac coos softly, condescendingly. He drags the toy's tip down Mike's chest, making his back arch. He whines, and Pac leans down to chase the line of burning pleasure with his tongue. Mike cusses softly and his hips twitch up eagerly.

"It's good?" Pac mumbles, pressing kisses down Mike's body, surprising him every few seconds with little zaps. Mike's brain is mush, he can't do anything but pant and moan under Pac. He nods and moans when Pac presses a hand to his dick at the same time he shocks him. Mike nearly cums right there.

"Pac-"

"You look so pretty, Mike, I just want to keep you here," he mumbles, squeezing at Mike's thigh. He spends some time leaving hickies and bite marks across Mike's pecs, trailing down a bit to his stomach and sides. Mike loves it, the careful worship and appreciation. He's so hard that every shift of Pac's hand on his dick makes him worry he's going to cum in his boxers like a teenager. Mike has a sneaking suspicion that's Pac's plan. Pac lifts his head and smiles, sitting up and tapping the toy lightly across Mike's chest, following the blueprint left by his mouth.

Mike's eyes fall closed, lost in the spiking pleasure. He's dripping a sizable wet spot in his boxers, squirming and moaning unabashedly. It's what Pac wants.

Suddenly, the pleasure is overwhelming. Mike's vision whites out. Mike gasps, and his eyes fly open; Pac's got the damn thing pressed against his dick; it's intense even through his boxers. Mike moans like a bitch and cums, twitching and digging his nails into his palms to try and lessen the intensity.

"Son of a bitch!" Mike yelps, kicking out as Pac keeps the fucking thing there. Pac laughs and lets up for a second, Mike drags a shaky breath in and lays his head back. He's shaking, body still jerking and twitching through the aftershocks. His boxers are wet and sticky, his ears are ringing. Pac's mouth is on him again, hands digging into his sides and squeezing. As Mike's brain slowly comes back online, he realizes that Pac is straddling his thigh, grinding desperately. Mike shudders and presses his leg up, making Pac moan and press his face against Mike's chest.

Pac cums with a whimper of Mike's name, nails biting into his skin and legs squeezing around Mike's thigh. Pac pushes himself up and laughs softly.

"You're such a bitch" Mike grumbles, voice raw, as Pac leans over him to untie his hands. Pac laughs and leans down to kiss Mike. Mike kisses back, using his newly freed hands to tangle in Pac's hair and hold him still. Pac goes pliant in his hands, and Mike groans softly against his lips.

"You liked it, though, right? It wasn't too much?" Pac asks softly, looking down at Mike with big, concerned eyes. Mike scoffs, kissing Pac again and sitting up. He's still shaky, his body reacting to the electricity as well as the adrenaline from the orgasm.

"Yeah, Pac, it was really good. Perfect," Mike mumbles, running a hand through his hair and fixing his glasses that'd fallen askew. Pac grins and goes to grab a clean pair of boxers for Mike.

Mike watches him go, and he plots.

gonna start giving awards to people who reblog my work bc these ratios are soul sucking

am i grateful to have so many readers? yes!!! i love that y'all show so much love to my work and i appreciate every single one of you

however

reblogs are the only way my work gets spread. they're the best way to show me you actually enjoyed it, and they're my motivation to keep writing more!

likes are basically meaningless to content creators, and they also give off the vibe that you like it enough to keep it in your library but not enough to share it with your friends

does that make sense?

#im literally desperate like im begging on my knees for more interaction with my work #idk what i have to do #if you think it'll mess up your blog aesthetic - make a sideblog and use that to reblog fics! #it takes actual hours to write what you read in 30 minutes #and if you're just consuming it without any thought to the time and energy and love writers put into their work #that's really disheartening #i don't want to come off as whiny or ungrateful #but pls for the love of god #reblog the works you enjoy! #✨em's thots and feelings✨

[kaladinkholins]

i think im gonna take a break from my fic to write my original work instead

#something something lack of engagement makes it discouraging for all artists and writers something something #i think the good thing about how i finished writing 'the stories we tell' before i even started posting a single chapter #is that the writing process was fun in the sense that i did it completely for me #there was no external pressure to write faster or try to write more 'interesting' chapters #whatever i wrote i wrote it for the sake of the story. because i wanted to #but posting a WIP and writing chapter by chapter? at least for me i def feel some pressure to please #and when i dont get much of a response on each update it's kinda disheartening #by response i mean people engaging with the actual like. contents. the lines i wrote. idk. #IGNORE ME IM BEING WHINY AND UNGRATEFUL #i genuinely love all my readers and commenters and everyone following along with the story #i just get too lost in my head and feelings sometimes #which is why i think its necessary for me to take a break and take my mind off it by writing my own original stuff for a while #at least for a few days #shut up haydar #on writing.log

[soldier-poet-king]

Smthn smthn butchered tongue making me bawl my eyes out even tho my ancestral languages weren't taken from me by force. Like. It is explicitly a song about the cultural violence of colonialism.

My experiences do not compare to that! And I still grieve! I still grieve the cultural connections and comforting tongue I lost! I grieve that in trying to better their situation amongst desperate post war poverty my grandparents and great grandparents immigrated, and the predominance of English, the necessity of it, the issues of my mother going to school not speaking any English, meant that by the time I came around the comforting dialects are only spoken between the older generations, save for a few slang words and highly specific food terms. I grieve that I can't roll my rs properly, and the Italian double consonants still trip up my tongue. I grieve that vague hazy childhood memories of my Nonna's house mean that the most comforting of accents, the most comforting tongue, is one I do not know, and can never master organically. I can study all I want but it'll never be natural. I can muddle my way through the basics, my Canadian accent grating the edges of the language, but it's not the same! It'll never be the comforting lilt of being a young child and having all the extended elderly family laughing and arguing around the table.

Obvs I am not the only generational-diaspora-immigrant kid to feel this way. I'm at the odd spot of not having been the immigrant myself, but having the people who raised me not be assimilated enough for me to really feel at home in the new culture either. I'm not far enough away, generationally, to not feel the separation. There is a persistent sense of loss for something I can only grasp the vaguely edges of.

And obvs this isn't the same as forced diasporas, of refugees, of colonial supression of native tongues. But there's still a grief there, even as I feel guilty for grieving it - I benefitted greatly, materially, from this linguistic loss. And yet! And yet!

#the duality of fran #this makes no sense ik and is super whiny of me im sorry #its not even ACCURATE im onlt half #but i barely know or have connections w my dads family #for all intents and purposes i am wholly this calabrese-canadian creature #and idk. #this isnt even getting into the whole romanticized old country image #bc that's not what it is #im not under any illusions that either italt or canada are some promised land #both have a lot of issues #im not like uwu everything would be better in whatever alternate scenario #i just. grieve this loss of this thing that i feel should have been part of me but isnt #its not natural and inherent to me the way i wish it were

“Ough Cinders wasnt a good person… she didnt want kids.” Okay so I’m already Team Cinders purely from a technical standpoint

#not saying people who dont want kids who are pressured into having them are incapable of being bad parents ofc #‘’shouldnt have been a parent but had kids anyways’’ is something you hear about shitty parents for a good reason #but given lizardstripes situation its pretty clear that ‘’didnt want kids’’ is code for ‘’disgusting woman’’ to the writers #also where im at they blame sols dad not being around on cinders cause ‘’she complains a lot’’ #(bc he doesnt feed their kids and fucks off for months at a time but thats her fault cause shes a whiny bitch’’ #she doesnt seem as stock cartoon evil as lizard did at least. though there are hints of it #‘’gasp…. she didnt give them NAMES’’ #wc comics liveread #idk these sorts of plotlines just remind me of why i like times arrow from bojack horseman so much #cause like. beatrice is still a horrible person who abused her son. but the narrative recognizes that shes also an abuse victim #and its a horrible situation all around where she perpetuated the cycle and stuff #idk sorry if some of this is incomprehensible im sorta half asleep rn

blegh I like this person I sorta know cause they're in a server im also in but also like they saw my f/o carrd and their response to seeing my no sharing Vash rule was to say "this town wont fit both of us" and im sure they were joking but Im like…………damn……….. I guess it sorta rubbed me the wrong way then they started gushing about vash in vc I had to pull my headphones out v.v

Ooooooh ooof. Elend is going through THE most frustrating thing ever

#Im not going to have an easy time with this plot arnet I. oh well #like idk. this is the same to me as when nerdy girls go through a tranformation where they become more feminime amd gender conforming #I LIKE when characters are whiny weekllings that suck socially. i think characters should be allowed to be socially inept but smart cowards #And I dislike plots like these because I hav eplenty trauma from being socially non conforming #i also really disliked that plotline with wintrow in liveship traders. #because like. I have the tism. and was plenty traumatised from being socialy nonconforming #and i think we should be allowed to be cowardly weeklings without having tochange you know #But lets see how this goes.

Me, on the LotRO Forums: Hey @ devs I really appreciate the way you implemented this feature. It really improves the game and here's why I think that.

Some Loser: NO IT DOESN'T!!!!!!! IT SUCKS AND I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#literally barely even upset #just kind of feel sorry for them #they are also very silly #they seem to think that the point of the reward track is like? upgrading your li? silly #its obviously for cosmetics and upgrading your li is a cool side benefit #this is not a joke i 100% believe this #i believe that the vast majority of lotros playerbase does not give a shit about lis #and will only work on them if the materials to do so are literally handed to them #that certainly describes me anyway #so in order to make the li system function at all they have to dangle shiny cosmetics in front of players and then also give them li mats #this sounds like im insulting people but im not #it just isnt a priority #and the devs understand that and are working with us on it #its just that the people who only care about that are loud and whiny and on the forums #but idk. we cant let them have the run of the forums #weve got to have a presence there too #which is why im putting on my big girl britches and actually posting over there these days

imagine your blorbo being mildly inconvenienced because they ordered delivery for their entire family b/c they felt bad, and they paid for it, but the order specifically missed THEIR food and had everyone elses.

[sleepy-crypt1d]

I had seen people talking about how TSPUD would be lost on youtubers and streamers and I hadn’t really believed that. Until now, and like, yeah, they all keep failing at one specific point and it’s. .disappointing? 

I understand not everyone is going to enjoy games and play games exactly like I do, thinking that would be stupid of me, and I know that. Usually I don’t care how other people play games, it’s whatever, let them vibe and enjoy something their own way, if it annoys me I just won’t watch it. I love seeing people experience my favorite games for the first time! I absolutely love seeing people begin to love the thing that I do! 

But seeing the way that certain youtubers and streamers play through The Skip Button ending makes me want to rip my hair out. It’s not supposed to be a quick ending! You’re supposed to sit through all of the Narrator’s dialogue!! That’s the entire point of the ending. I have seen so many people either jokingly or genuinely get annoyed because ‘oh my god, he does talk a lot’ so they spam press the button to get to the end and it’s like, do you, do you not understand the point? Do you not get it? 

The Skip Button Ending isn’t about getting to the end to see how much time you can skip, or to find a way out, it’s not even supposed to have an objective to it. It’s to watch the Narrator, Nate as I call him, fall deeper and deeper into his own creation. Another user had pointed this out, TSBE is used to show that you are powerless to save him, there is nothing you can do, once he made the skip button, you were lost to his creation just as much as he was. You are forced to kill him, to cause him to lose his mind, to make him fall into the never-ending spiral of self-doubt and control one’s creation can have over their entire life. 

That ending means something, that ending is supposed to make you stop and consider the consequences of what you’re doing, it’s the same premise of the real person ending and the zending, you are forced to hurt Nate to keep the story going, and it’s supposed to hurt you as well, but they don’t grasp that? I guess? They skip through all his dialogue, missing the point he makes about how games aren’t supposed to be funny or have a point, they can just exist and that’s okay. Games don’t need to appeal to everyone, they don’t need to be perfect, they aren’t sacred or Devine works of art. 

They are meant to be enjoyed by people who will enjoy them. 

Not every ending needs to have some bigger meaning to it, some are just you jumping off a landing and being call powerful, some are just a long winded story about a bucket, some are long critics about video game development and the culture around whether or not you’re enjoying something in the ‘right way’, and sometimes, they’re just an ending. But this one is something. It’s critiquing exactly what they’re doing, which is skipping over important thoughts and ideas because it wasn’t funny or entertaining, they skip over it because it wasn’t what they wanted which is EXACTLY THE POINT THE GAME IS MAKING - TO NOT DO THAT BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE OUT ON WHAT THE GAME IS. And they will never know that, because once you skip the dialogue, it’s over. You get that ending once and then never again.  

Another thing that really irritates me is that, 1. people in the comments also won’t know and 2. now the epilogue will be lost on you. If you skip Nate’s spiral in TSBE then when you eventually do everything else and get to the epilogue, it won’t hit the same way. Part of what made the epilogue almost make me start sobbing was because you realize, you were there, you watched as Nate fell to his own work, YOU were the one who pressed the button that killed him, YOU were the one that led to the office building crumbling and leaving nothing but you and endless desert because the creator was gone, and you killed him. And once you get back to the office building, the two doors are shut, you can no longer make a decision, because you already made it when you pressed the button. 

Almost all of this is lost to the youtubers and streamers who skip his dialogue because they’re doing it for a bit, they want to see how it ends, they are genuinely annoyed Nate is talking so much, they’re doing it for chat, they want to cut time so they don’t have to edit as long. All they’re doing is losing themselves the coolest ending in the entire game. 

And this is just what I think based on the game! This isn’t even getting into my annoyance of people seeing Nate as just the game’s narrator and not his own separate character with thoughts, feelings, and character development. But that’s for another post, this one is getting long enough. 

TLDR; streamers and youtubers skipping over the meaning in The Skip Button Ending and what it says about both them and the game industry annoys me to the point of where I cannot watch people play this game. The Skip Button Ending isn’t about the destination, it’s about how you got there. 

#tspud spoilers #sleepy rambles #tspud #the stanley parable #the stanley parable ultra deluxe #wha oh sleepy's upset #i just :(( #this is my favorite ending!! and what it says is so fucking important!! and now two of my favorite content creators have entirely skipped it #just without a care in the world #and im just sat there really really disappointed because i wanted to know what their thoughts were #and idk i'm probably just reaching here but seeing them skip through SO MUCH of his dialogue in that ending makes me feel like they dont? #care about that ending? #they're doing it for content #not for enjoyment #and that sucks :(( #and when i say that they skip his dialogue i mean he says ONE WORD and they press the button #like one didn't even notice the door was missing #who knows maybe this is all just whiny of me but it's something i noticed that annoyed me #maybe some people agree with me idk #wanna know people's thoughts

[sir-yeehaw-paws]

It’s just some damned paint.

Do I know Twitter is the worst place to get information on the internet? Yes. Am I a grown ass man irritable because of a shutdown earlier that resulted in my being mute all because I’m not given twenty seconds to explain what I’m trying to say properly and when I’m talked over if I panic I get yelled at? Probably.

Do I care? Who knows. What I do know is that it’s just some damned paint.

The thread in question was someone saying painting yellow lines on a wall was ‘hand holding’ and while the original thread was hardly hostile, still. There was a chorus of agreement.

Why is some paint so demeaning to your gaming experience?

Gaming is already a mess of inaccessibility. How many games are out there that I just cannot play to begin with? Souls games are infamous for having no easy mode. Dungeon Crawlers are a grueling grind of a game with few breaks, and almost no save points. These are all challenge modes that are designed to make the experience more enriching with intense difficulties.

I won’t even go into the ‘get good’ mentality or how some will immediately start harping on ‘skill issues’ if someone is having trouble with a game. (And as an aside, so what if it IS a skill issue? Who fucking CARES if someone isn’t a pro gamer. They’re still welcome to play the game if they goddamned enjoy it. Because you know, IT’S A GAME)

You know, a game. Something invented to be fun. Escapism. Enjoyable.

You know what’s NOT enjoyable? Not having the same functionality as another person, or the same capacity.

Lots of games don’t let you increase the font size sometimes! I actually uninstalled the Sims because of this. I had so much trouble reading the font (and the game screaming at me every time I tried to increase it because it wasn’t ‘optimal performance’ and it would actually start glitching out as a result). Lots of games have no option to dismantle or turn off flashing light features. Which alienates a LOT of players. Not to mention if you’re like me and have genuine coordination and hand issues, not being able to button mash often results in certain failures.

There are changes being made-slowly. Accessibility in gaming is an issue all on it’s own, but every time I see open annoyances towards it I just want to scream a bit. How dare gaming appeal to people who aren’t on your skill level. How dare someone with physical issues want to game? How dare those terrifying ‘others’ have some fun.

And I get off LUCKY. Gaming is even more inaccessible to those with more intense disabilities than my own. And yes, while the original thread was more ‘I wish I had the choice to turn this off’ and I can agree with that, I still find myself asking ‘is some fucking paint that damaging to your gaming experience’?

It’s just some paint.

It’s just some larger font.

It’s just some dimmed lights.

How is this such a huge issue? Is it not time to leave gaming elitism in the past? When did it get so far removed from its core purpose and concept-to have FUN.

(I’ll stress that I’m aware of how crabby I sound in this..it’s unlike me to be this way. I don’t get after people, I’m a live and let live kinda dude, but fuck, I’m already feeling worthless, I’m venting, if nothing else).

#nate rambles #or well more like nate vents #disabled gaming #gaming accessibility #gaming #ugh christ this really not a good look for me im aware of it #i sound like a whiny child but goddamned #there's more important things but idk senseless venting is a thing sometimes
