TWST OC intro: Professor Yzmin

*Template by Piraticusdorm*

Yzmin is a new professor at NRC who specializes in potionology, alchemy, and biology. He was a former NRC student with Crewel as his upperclassman. He is incredibly vain, self obsessed, and refuses to compromise his sense of style, even in the classroom. His attentiveness to his looks also manifests in his teaching style, being rather strict and will not hesitate to correct his students’ mishaps. They also have a huge temper that's almost as explosive as Ace's lab accidents.

Miscellaneous facts:

He's not good with animals. He had to take supplementary classes for animal languages

In addition to supplementary classes, he once had a friend who tutored him in it as well as attend to him while he was housewarden of Pomefiore

Still sees Crewel as his senpai but likes to have some friendly competition over who's best dressed

Ace: you didn't hear this from me but he still likes playing double dutch! Isn't he like 30 or something???

Got traumatized at a birthday party when he got accidentally hit by a stick when the kid meant to hit the piñata. Don't ask how the first years figured this out

Hobby: paragliding and skin care

Keeps a hidden dagger somewhere on him. Jack swore he saw a knife holster on his leg

“Its like im talking to a monkey. A really really big stupid monkey named ACE!!”

Misc artist's notes

Guys, I spent so much time drawing this guy because I would just STARE at him and let him seduce me/j truly I hold too much power

And the funny part was that he was gonna be fairly modest, but my mom really pushed his design to be closer to Yzma's actual design (which I tried to skip around because I thought it wouldn't work having a lab teacher be in such revealing clothing) so the more I took her input, the more slutty he became... Like... What I'm saying is you can thank my mom for this hot science professor. She too is far more powerful than any mortal and so I had to reign in her ideas lest he be too sexy for children to see.

But I still love this design. I incorporated several design elements from Yzma's various outfits throughout the movie except for the puffy sleeves. That was carried over from a previous draft of Yzmin that leaned more into a generic victorian teacher aesthetic.

The bottom wrap was a combo of Yzma's lab coat and her iconic black dress with a slit down the side. The goggles and gloves were also from the lab coat. The top and the connecting black collar were adapted from her original black dress while the curly bang was taken from her one of her puffy hats she wore right after she successfully took over the empire.

I forget if there was a specific look I took for the earrings, but I'm sure they're from Yzma's "flapper" outfit when she and kronk were at the restaurant looking for Kuzco. And to top it off, cat eye makeup look for her transformation into a cat!

I hope this was interesting to y'all. I want to share more of my art here on Tumblr since it's been trending towards TWST. I do other stuff as well as original pieces, but for now, enjoy what I have to offer!

Iggy the Stray Dog - ch2 (1/2)

Author: Otsuichi

Original concept: Araki Hirohiko

Originally published: JOJO Magazine 2022 Spring

*** This is a fan translation made purely for entertainment. Please do not repost/reuse/etc without my permission and credit! ***

Note: Since the next three chapters are very long and I don't want to keep you waiting forever, I decided to split them up into 2-3 parts. Thank you for your patience, I'm super excited to deliver the rest of this short novel!

Manhattan Island is located at the mouth of the Hudson river. It is four kilometers in width, twenty kilometers in length, a sandbank elongated in a north-south direction. Navigator Henry Hudson discovered it in 1609 and it is said that the Dutch East India Company purchased it from Native Americans for 24 dollars in 1626. Its name Manhattan translates to „the island of many hills” in their language.

The morning after my arrival, the air was still clouded by yellow. White steam rose from the gutters all over. I bought a toasted sandwich at a corner store to eat. Crispy bacon and fresh lettuce was held between fragnant bread.

I took the subway on my way to the city center. To participate in the „stray dog hunt”. Passing ticket control and ascending the stairs, I found myself in a desolate place. It was a district with empty bear cans lying around and closed shutters of shops bearing graffiti. On one side, there stood a brick building, the ground floor offices of which belonged to a company specializing in pest extermination.

Its name was Reliable Pest Control Services, or RPCS for short. In addition to pest control, they undertook everything from vermin extermination and cleaning up buildings to waste management. At this time, the Speedwagon Foundation had contacted the manager, requesting their help capturing Iggy in exchange for financial support.

As I stated the purpose of my visit at the reception desk, a large, middle-aged Spaniard showed up. His stern face looked like it was carved from stone, and three vertical lines ran down across his right eye – they seemed to be claw marks.

„You’re Avdol, right? The chief told me about you. So you wanna catch that damn Boston Terrier?”

„My American friend has entrusted me with this request.”

„I’ll let you watch, just make sure you’re not bothering us!”

„All right. For now, I would like to study your work. I won’t intervene or disturb you, I’ll just watch from a distance.”

„Admirable attitude, Egyptian.”

The Spaniard led me inside the office. It was like a labyrinth of miscellaneous packages piled up on top of each other with desks, blackboards, a billiard table, a darts board and empty liquor bottles in the gaps between them. On an old sofa set, four men were gathered, exhaling cigarette smoke and playing poker.

„These guys are my team,” introduced them the Spaniard. The men put down their cards. turning their gazes to me, as if to observe me. They all had vulgar faces. One of them clicked his tongue, putting out the cigarette he’s been smoking on an ashtray. He was a large, white man resembling a rugby player.

„So you’re the Foundation’s buddy? The chief told us if we keep an eye out for you the Speedwagon Foundation would pay us a nice sum. But y’know, this is a lot of extra work for us.”

„I will not bother you. All I wish is to stand by and watch your work from a distance, to see how the dog could be captured. I don’t believe that would increase your work at all.”

„You coming with us means you’ll be taking up a seat in the car. We’ll have to take less equipment like that!”

They were going to drive to Manhattan Island in two cars, one of them a van equipped with dog cages. The space in the vehicles was crammed with all sorts of nets and traps, tranquilizer guns and such. It appeared that with my participation, they could load a lot less into the cars. The Spaniard tried to calm down the man.

„Hey, don’t say that. It’s not like animal traps are any good against that Boston Terrier, we’d be bringing them for nothing.” He pulled me away from the men. „They’re just pissed because that shitty dog got the best of them.”

„What do you mean by animal traps?”

„Cages you can’t leave once you’re caught in them, like bear traps. You know bear traps, right? Like the Gustave Courbet painting, „Fox caught in a trap”? The iron trap that the fox’s leg is stuck in. But no such trap can catch that Boston Terrier, they were useless even with his favourite coffee chewing gum inside. I don’t know how but he just ran away with the chewing gum, without triggering the trap.”

A map hung on the wall, the places where Iggy had been spotted marked on it. He had been seen all over Manhattan. Wall Street, Times Square, he even seemed to be frequenting the ferry to Liberty Island with the Statue of Liberty.

„I made some posters with his image and put them up all over Manhattan. I wrote on it that we’ll reward anyone that has any news, so we got some information from the citizens.”

He showed me an actual poster. Drawn on it was a foolish image of a Boston Terrier, drool dripping from his mouth.

„The claw marks on your face, was that also him?”

„A while ago we tried strike him down when he was taking a nap. We got a report and when we rushed there, he was basking in the sun, snoring like hell. I decided to shoot him with a tranquilizer gun from a distance. As I pointed the gun at him and aimed, he woke up but didn’t try to run away. He saw us and yawned without a care in the world. I pulled the trigger and a tranquilizer dart shot out. My aim was sure, no doubt about it.”

However, the dart didn’t hit its target. It flipped midair in front of the Boston Terrier, just as if it was being blocked by something invisible.

„I dunno why. Maybe it was a faulty dart, it changed its direction in the middle of its track. We had to try and catch him with a net, but that damn dog jumped up and scratched my face. He tore out some of my hair and farted once before escaping us. It’s a mystery what he ate that made him fart like that but it was putrid.”

I was thinking about the invisible thing that was said to have deflected the tranquilizer dart. There was no way the dart was faulty. They couldn’t see it. Something invisible was present before Iggy and it protected him. I had a pretty good idea what that mysterious something could have been.

A bell’s sound echoed in the RPCS office. The staff member from the reception desk at the front entrance called out to us. The men playing poker stood, leaving the room running.

„Where are you going?”

„The locker room. We’re changing into work clothes and leaving. Tha bell only rings when we get news of someone seeing that damn Boston Terrier. If we don’t hurry, he’ll get away!”

In a matter of minutes, they all finished changing into grey work clothes, getting inside both cars in the garage. I myself accompanied them, getting inside the van carrying the cages. The van was driven by a slim, young Black man. The Spaniard sat in the passenger’s seat and I took my place behind them.

„The phone call came from someone living near the Harlem River, they saw that shitty Boston Terrier stealing chewing gum” said the Spaniard, folding out a map to check the route. The two cars took off, rushing towards the area facing Harlem River.

Inside the hurling car, I was debating whether I should tell the man with the strict face sitting before me that the Boston Terrier actually has a name. In the end, I decided not to do so. They wouldn’t have cared too much for what the dog’s name was anyway.

The north-eastern parts of Manhattan were mostly inhabited by immigrants. Most of the people passing us by were Puerto Rican or Mexican, the majority of the conversations I overheard were in Spanish. Many brown mansions stood by the riverside. The city of New York built these for low income citizens and they referred to them as a „project”. There were nearly 2900 of these „projects” in New York City, with roughly 420,000 people inhabiting them. Some apartments were used for drug trafficking, they were a hotbed for crime.

The stray dog hunting team got out of the vehicles parking on the roadside and set out looking around the neighborhood. I decided to stick with the Spaniard. First of all, he wanted to meet and talk to the person reporting the dog.

The Spaniard approached a young man of Latin American descent standing by a payphone on a street corner. He smelled like marijuana.

„You’re the guys looking for the Boston Terrier, right?”

„Yeah. Can you tell us what you saw?”

„It was just now, like thirty minutes ago. A weird dog came out of that supermarket over there, it was eating something. The store clerk ran after it but it got away. It was black and white. I thought it was a French Bulldog but it had a slim body so I figured it was a Boston Terrier. I called the number from a poster when I saw that.”

The young man rubbed his index finger and thumb together in a gesture of requesting his reward. The Spaniard handed him a couple of bank notes but he didn’t seem impressed.

„Hey, this isn’t even enough for a beer!”

„If you have more info, I’ll give you more.”

The Spaniard sent the young man away and set off in the direction of said supermarket. It was a small store standing in a dirty, graffiti-covered alleyway. I call it a supermarket but it was nothing more than a private business, with colourful vegetables on its racks that looked fresh and delicious. The store clerk, a fat Black woman, was standing there with a troubled look on her face. The Spaniard called out to her.

„We heard a Boston Terrier stole some of your merchandise, is that true?”

„Yeah, just look at this!” she beckoned. The Spaniard’s work clothes had the logo of his company embroidered, she must have known he was an expert of vermin extermination. Right as we stepped inside the supermarket we found a candy shelf. The goods had been stolen from it and the empty shelf was sticky with a clear liquid dripping off of it. „It’s just like ’Alien’, isn’t it? The movie. Have you seen it? The monster was drooling just like this.”

The store clerk furrowed her brows. The Spaniard took out a ballpoint pen from his chest pocket, picking up some of the liquid with its end and examining its viscosity and smell.

„It’s drool. Those shelves had coffee flavour chewing gum on them, am I right?”

„Exactly! A small black and white dog devoured it right here. I tried to catch it but it picked up the entire box and ran off. I reported it to the police as well, just in case, but I’m surprised to see that you guys showed up! Then again, there’s so much crime on these streets, the police must be very busy.”

Leaving the store, the Spaniard got in touch with his men. Each of them carried a transceiver, making it possible to exchange information between each other so long as they were within a couple kilometers radius.

I decided to investigate our surroundings as well. I moved through dirty alleyways scattered with trash, looking for a Boston Terrier.

The wind carried the stench of alcohol and urine. It was probably drunks standing in the alleys and taking a piss. A row of cars stood parking on the roadside. It was a lonely street with no people or cars passing by.

Someone from our team was questioning a vagrant, holding the handle of a large net. It was the white man that complained to me in the office and reminded me of a rugby player. It seemed like his work clothes were about to burst with his muscles.

„Didn’t you see a dog around here? A small, black and white one. It has a short snout and it farts a lot.”

The vagrant our rugby player was looking down to was an elderly man, leaning back onto a building’s wall as he was sitting on the ground. He had put down a piece of cardboard to make his sitting place more comfortable. His mouth seemed to be mumbling something in response to the rugby player’s question, however he couldn’t form his words properly, having lost all his teeth.

„There... right there...” The vagrant’s words came in fragments. He pointed a finger at the wall right across the street. I turned to the rugby player.

„I believe this old man is pointing us to around there.”

The rugby player glanced at me, turning his gaze to where the vagrant was pointing.

„There’s nothin’ there. Nothin’ strange. Not a Boston Terrier, not a place where a small dog could hide.”

„But this old man is trying to bring our attention to something.”

On the other side of the line of parking cars was nothing but old brick buildings, lined up without so much as a crevice between them. The vagrant was pointing at one of those walls.

The rugby player shook his head.

„That’s just a wall. We asked the wrong guy. Maybe he’s hallucinating!”

The vagrant, however, kept on murmuring.

„...weird... how...? It’s gone... I don’t...”

I decided to walk across to the other side of the road.

„Hey, Egyptian! Don’t just do whatever you like! Come back here!” I heard the rugby player’s voice but I ignored him.

I approached the wall the vagrant was pointing to, and trailed finger along it. Its surface was just slightly damp, but also coarse. It was probably the speckles of sand dancing in the wind that stuck to it.

„Hey! Egyptian!”

An odd sense of discomfort came over me. My finger tracing the wall got caught in the corner of a brick, which then quickly crumbled. As I tried to apply some force, my hand sank into the brick wall.

„H-hey... what’s that?!”

What we had thought to be a brick wall crumbled into sand. It collected into large heaps under my feet and a small alleyway appeared on its other side. It looked like there wasn’t a crevice between the buildings but in reality, they weren’t stuck together at all. It simply appeared so because the sand’s fine imitation made it look like they were lined up continuously. The vagrant likely found it odd that the alleyway that was supposed to be there disappeared, and tried to bring it to our attention.

Sand speckles danced around me from the collapse. When my vision cleared, I realized something was hiding in the dim depths of the alleyway. It was small, small enough for me told hold in my hands.

He was chewing on something very, very loudly. He must have been hiding himself right here all along, creating a fake wall with sand.

„Is that you, Iggy?”

The moment I called his name, the chewing noises stopped.

A pair of eyes appeared in the dim light. I saw the whites of them clearly. Apparently he still remembered his name being ’Iggy’. His self-awareness had him reacting to me calling his name.

Someone grabbed my shoulder from behind with great force. It was the rugby player.

„Hey, hey, hey! There he is! I thought it was sand dancing, but there’s a street there now? Looks like a dead end, so I guess he’s got no choice but to come over here, huh?” He fixed the net in his hands and took off in the alley’s direction.

„Hey, wait!”

In response to the rugby player approaching him, he got up on his four legs in the dark. His form was that of a small dog’s, but something was manifesting behind him.

The speckles of sand in the alley rose up, defying gravity, gathering in one place, taking shape seemingly too big to even fit the narrow alleyway behind the dog.

However, the rugby player didn’t see it. It was a projection of life energy that regular people were unable to detect. Before his eyes, there was nothing but a single small dog.

He charged towards Iggy with his net. The giant behind Iggy moved, picking him up and jumping, scattering sand as it trampled the rugby player. The moment he hit the ground, it rushed out of the narrow alley. Its large body leapt over the line of parking cars with ease.

As it appeared in a vast and well-lit place, I could take a good look at it in its entirety. The giant holding Iggy had the appearance of a dog with wheels. Its two front legs were dog-like, but its hind legs were missing, sporting car wheels in their place. On its head it wore feathers resembling Native American ornaments. It was a form blending machinery and organic life, scattering speckles of sand from its entire body.

A Stand. That was what I and my American friend referred as to such entities. Something standing by one’s side like a guardian. This must have been the reason behind the odd sand related episodes happening around Iggy.

Stands do not possess a physical body. It was more like Iggy’s guardian. Some would call it a visualization of his psychic powers, others might even claim it as an evil spirit.

Iggy exchanged a glance with me, carried by his own Stand, then turned away as if he’s lost interest in me already. His Stand that leapt over cars so easily rotated its wheels, dashing away on the streets.

The rugby player stood up from where he fell on the ground and called for assistance with his transceiver.

„He-he’s here! The Boston Terrier! Come right away!” He tried to chase after Iggy instantly, but he failed. The huge mass of sand that until just now had been forming a wall was covering the ground. Before I could have noticed, it all centered on me. The sand swallowed me up to the knee and firmly hardened. Without a doubt this was Iggy’s doing. Pulling as hard as I could, I freed my legs but he had already disappeared behind a corner.

„Shit... don’t let him get away!”

The rugby player ran off, and I followed him.

I hope you like it. Sorry, it has taken me so long to get out.

Word Count: 578

Summary: Some Evil Uno Smut "It's not that I'm horny all the time. It's just that you're always sexy."

Nicolas - Evil Uno

YN'S POV:

M hands were rubbing up and down Nicholas's chest and I slowly rode him. His strong hands were gripping my thighs. I can feel his nails digging into my skin, but I don't care.

Not with how he is looking right now. His eyes were half-closed, his mouth open slightly, barely making a sound. His breathing was heavy.

I reached for his hands and pried them away from my thighs and placed them on my breasts. He quickly started to squeeze them making me moan his name. Making me ride him faster.

"Oh fuck Nick." I threw my head back as his mouth started to leave little love bites all over my chest and collarbone. I gasped loudly when he took a nipple in his mouth and softly bit and sucked on it making my back arch.

His talented tongue, plus his hands squeezing my ass and other breast and his cock hitting just that spot inside of me had me gasping out his name as I rode him through my orgasm.

But I didn't stop, not when it has been over two weeks since I had him like this.

"Mmm, that is my good girl YN, shit you look good like this. Taking me so well in this tight little hole."

He isn't much of a talker turning sex, but our time apart must of drove him crazy as well.

All of a sudden he flipped us over and he pounded me into the mattress, me screaming out his name like a prayer as wave after wave of pure bliss came.

"Give me one more Love. I know you have it in you." He growled as he reached between our bodies and started to play with my clit.

I am sobbing at this point as it is all becoming too much for me but I didn't want him to stop.

But he did.

All of a sudden, Nick pulled out of me and stood at the edge of the bed. Before I could ask him what the hell he was doing, he dragged me to the edge of the bed, flipped me onto my stomach and slammed back into my pussy.

He pushed my head into the mattress as he thrusted into me at such a speed I didn't know he could do.

His pace started to falter and I knew he was close.

"Where do you want it?" He grunted as he pulled my head off of the mattress by my hair.

"Mouth." Just the thought of him coming down my throat had my mouth watering.

Nick pulled out of me and pulled me onto the floor. He gripped the back of my head and leaned it back. I stuck my tongue out as he jerked off. With a deep groan from him, he placed his cock on my tongue and I wrapped my lips around it and sucked.

There was so much of it, it spilt out of the corners of my mouth.

He let go of my head but I didn't stop sucking. I placed my hands on his ass and pulled him deeper into my mouth making the both of us groan.

"Shit YN, let me rest. What has got you so horny?" Nick asked me as he looked down at me with a dazed expression. I winked at him and continued to suck his half-hard cock.

"It's not that I'm horny all the time. It's just that you're always sexy."

'American Lullaby' is the title-track off Dean Friedman's new album, 'American Lullaby'.

'American Lullaby'

Words & Music by Dean Friedman

Don’t you fret now. Don’t you cry. It’s an American Lullaby.

Manifest Destiny’s a lie. It’s an American Lullaby.

Half Moon sailing through the night. Crack of a musket fired, first light.

Always keep your powder dry. It’s an American Lullaby.

Rest your head, in dreams you’ll fly. It’s an American Lullaby.

Blaze a trail across the sky. It’s an American Lullaby.

A drinking gourd will point the way. Stealth by night and sleep by day.

On Peg Leg Joe you can rely. It’s an American Lullaby.

Unclench your fist and dry your eye. It’s an American Lullaby.

Judgement’s served from up on high. It’s an American Lullaby.

One fine night in Paradise, The god of thunder rolls the dice.

A thousand rounds light up the sky. It’s an American Lullaby

In restless dreams we shall defy, While TV pundits prophesy.

Our best laid plans have gone awry. It’s an American Lullaby.

He said, “I cannot tell a lie. Cross my heart and hope to die.”

He still won’t look you in the eye. It’s an American Lullaby.

Close your eyes, now, sleep is nigh. It’s an American Lullaby.

Cross the shallows, do or die. It’s an American Lullaby.

Headlights shining in the dark. Coyotes howl, the bloodhounds bark.

You can hear the angels sigh. It’s an American Lullaby.

Human kindness in short supply. It’s an American lullaby. ...................................................................................

About the Song: This is the title-track off of Dean Friedman's new album, 'American Lullaby'. Like all lullabies, it’s filled with tales of dark deeds and disaster, but couched in soft, gentle tones, meant to soothe and comfort the listener, while gently bracing them for potential terrors that await.

It would be impossible to reflect on America’s current state of turmoil and disarray without acknowledging some of its origins, including our original sins - indigenous genocide and slavery – along with our uniquely enduring addiction to guns.

‘Half Moon’ is the name of a Dutch sailing ship, captained by Hendrick Hudson which, on a September morning in 1609, seeking the legendary Northwest Passage, sailed into the mouth of what’s now called the Hudson River; originally called Mahicantuck – the river that flows two ways - by the indigenous Lenape inhabitants.

The ‘Drinking Gourd’ refers to the ‘Big Dipper’ constellation, a celestial signpost relied on by escaped slaves as a directional guide on their perilous journey north to freedom. ‘Peg Leg Joe’ is a semi-mythical figure said to provide assistance along the way.

Paradise is the name of an area adjacent to Las Vegas, site of the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.

We didn’t get here overnight.

The entire album, ‘American Lullaby’, of which this is the title-track, touches on a broad range of topics, including: the calamitous pandemic, looming environmental disaster, racism, sexism, and an intractable culture war… all exacerbated by our inane and disastrous politics. All these things really happened – and continue to happen. But, hey! I promise – the album is not all gloom and doom; it’s filled with optimism and faith – not in any god, but in our humanity. I’m insistent on hope, laughter and joy. Our shared emotional trauma is palpable and requires tending to, so some serous silliness is called for. And for those of us lucky enough to have survived the recent cataclysms, it seems to me it’s incumbent upon us, to not just work to heal our wounded world but, to seize every chance we get to celebrate wonder… and propagate joy. - Dean Friedman

My iCarly season 2 predictions after the trailer drop:

The fake dating trope

Carly and Freddie end up fake dating, a plan set in motion by Carly’s manager (Josh Peck)

Simultaneously Freddie is in a new relationship with Mia Serafino's character, the fake dating puts strain on this relationship.

Carly and Freddie's fake relationship is outed when Harper goes live and pans the camera to Freddie and Mia Serafino making out.

They then proceed to be able to date with out hiding.

Fake dating situation makes Carly confront her feelings for Freddie, but it will be one-sided and no Creddie relationship will happen this season

Mrs Benson is in on the Fake dating situation.

Beau/Wes/Carly triangle

It'll all be resolved within the first episode and one of the men (probably Wes) will make a comment about Freddie.

Carly will end up dating neither of them, the boys may even call her out on being wishy washy and not making a decision. (And honestly I love Carly but she needs to be called out on how she treats others sometimes)

The Groovy Smoothie

Spencer purchases the old Groovy Smoothie

We hear about what happened to T-bo but T-bo doesn't make a guest appearance.

The Groovy Smoothie becomes Spencer's new business venture and he turns it into a bar/club

Harper becomes his business partner (Or maybe just employee) to fund herself as she continues to chase her fashion dreams after things got awkward with Dutch. More Harper/Spencer flirtation ensues.

Lewbert

Lewbert sues iCarly for what he was put through

A guest appearance that we didn't see in the trailer comes to take the stand (no idea who though)

Mrs Benson is a witness on Lewbert's side of the case

Spencer will call on his (minimal) law school experience to be their lawyer/iCarly will self represent with advice from Spencer

Miscellaneous thoughts

We will see the rise and success of Freddie (Kevin App come at me!) but the fall of Carly as she goes slightly crazy in an attempt to stay relevant online - this will be a continuing theme not just a one episode thing

A call back to iStart a Fan War with the show calling out Creddie shippers

We still won’t hear about ex-wife number 1 and it will become the new missing character gag.

Millicent and Grandpa Shay make a pact to keep Creddie apart.

#i look forward to reblogging this at the end of the season and seeing just how wrong I was #icarly #icarly revival #creddie #icarly reboot #carly shay #icarly 2021 #freddie benson #spencer shay #Miranda Cosgrove #nathan kress #jerry trainor #season 2 predictions

Toy Box

Part 12

Read on Ao3

There was a soft knock on Steve’s door.

“Come in.”

“Uh, hey I was just-what are you doing?” Steve was curled up face down on his rug, rolled into a tight ball. He was still in his hoodie and boxers from last night. It was currently late evening.

“Having spicy brain time.” Billy stared at him.

“Are you okay?”

“Steve is not available to answer the phone right now. Please leave your name and number, and he’ll get back to you.” Billy huffed a laugh behind him.

There was shuffling, and then thick arms were wrapping around Steve, manhandling him until Billy was carrying him, bridal style, like it was easy.

“Um, what are you doing?”

Billy was carrying him across the apartment, into his bedroom. He tossed Steve on the bed.

“Stay.” He disappeared back into the kitchen.

Steve looked around sheepishly.

The room was the same general set up as his own. University provided bed and desk.

Billy had a few posters, a couple pictures tacked up.

His room was pretty cozy. He had a few mismatched blankets on the bed, his laptop closed and charging on the neat desk.

The had filled the built in shelf with books, classic literature and plain journals.

Steve was almost, itching to pull one of those journals down, begin pawing through it.

But then Billy had made his way back, with a cup of water, and a steaming mug of something.

He handed both to Steve.

“Have you taken your meds?” Steve nodded. “Good.” He sat down on the bed next to him. “You wanna talk about it, or just watch a movie?”

Steve was just staring at the mug.

Billy had made him hot chocolate.

Steve didn’t even know that there was hot chocolate mix in this apartment.

Meaning that Billy had some. Meaning that he made himself hot chocolate.

And now was making it for Steve.

To make him feel better.

It could make a guy cry.

“I think I just wanna watch a movie.”

“Okay. Something lighthearted?” Steve nodded. Billy had put marshmallows in the hot chocolate. Something else Steve didn’t even know they had.

Billy got his laptop from the desk, sitting cross legged next to Steve. He opened up Netflix.

“My go to on a shitty brain day is usually like, Disney or something.” Steve made a noncommittal sound. “Who’s your favorite princess?”

“Don’t have one.”

“Bullshit. Everyone’s got a favorite princess.”

“Who’s yours, then.” Billy turned to appraise Steve, flicking one eyebrow up.

“Belle.”

“Belle?”

“Yeah. She’s the prettiest one.”

“She’s like, smart, too.” Steve was blowing on the hot chocolate, taking a small sip.

“Yeah. I like her. I don’t think any of that shit’s on Netflix, though.”

Steve took the laptop from him, quickly logging into his own Disney+ account. He and Robin shared it. Meaning he paid for it with his dad’s credit card and Robin used it.

He queued up Beauty and the Beast.

“Wait, we don’t gotta watch it just because-”

“Nah. That’s what I want.”

And Billy just let slip the softest little okay, covering Steve’s criss-crossed legs with one of the miscellaneous blankets.

They watched it quietly for a while.

Steve finished his hot chocolate, and Billy gave him a Look until he finished the water too.

It was nice, just sitting there with him.

But Steve still felt like shit.

“Um, can I ask you a favor?”

“‘Course you can, Stevie.”

“Could you, like, play with my hair? Sorry, it’s kinda weird, it just calms me down-” Steve hadn’t even finished before Billy was scooting until his back was against the wall, his legs stretched out in front of him.

He patted his lap.

Steve shifted, laying curled sideways, his head on Billy’s thigh.

Thick fingers wasted no time tangling up in his hair.

Billy just pulled his fingers through a few time, gently playing with the ends, scratching at Steve’s scalp.

He got both hands in there, French braiding Steve’s hair, shaking it out only to Dutch braid it.

He wasn’t even paying attention to the movie anymore, just focusing on how fucking soft Steve’s hair is, how many different shades of brown and honey gold were streaked throughout.

He didn’t even realize Steve had fallen asleep in his lap.

Chiba Family Headcanons

The majority of the entire Chiba family tree has always been women, making Ryuunosuke one of the only few sons in the current generation of the family.

I personally want to justify his parents' absence, hence in the current timeline of AssClass (2014-2015), Chiba's older sister Rena would be in her 3rd year of high school, his younger sister Kohaku in her 6th grade, and his youngest sister Yuko in her 1st grade. Basically the year when 3/4 of the Chiba kids are graduating in their respective departments.

Aside from the usual passive-aggressive banter between him and Rena due to their mirroring upfront nature, Ryuunosuke fairly gets along well with his sisters on a good day. This is because, although the sisters have varying personalities that can sometimes clash against each other, Ryuunosuke himself shares some of their traits.

Would this mean that his sisters sometimes don't get along then? Yes, but Ryuunosuke is there as the middleman for a reason after all.

With the parents' monthly income, the Chiba family would've been considered fairly rich if it weren't for the fact that they have 4 children to feed (with one of them going to university soon).

Ryuunosuke and Kohaku are closer to their mom, while Rena and Yuko are closer to their dad.

Simple genetics breakdown time~

The Chiba family are mostly tall, with the girls' height growths being faster to arrive.

Hence there was a point where Rena was much taller than Ryuunosuke, and that Kohaku had once nearly reached his height until he had his growth spurt in his late 2nd year.

Mother = dark brown (almost black) hair, sharp coral eyes, cool skin tone, and tall stature (168 cm)

Father = cool black hair, blue eyes, warm skin tone, and also tall (181 cm)

Ryuunosuke mostly resembles his mom. His sharp warm maroon eyes likely came from her, along nose and lips. What he got from his dad were his eyebrows, hair colour, and warm skin tone.

Rena is nearly a spitting image of their father (hair colour, eye colour, etc), except for the cool skin tone she got from her mom. Height would be 165 cm.

Kohaku has solid black hair, russet brown eyes, and warm but fairly tanner skin tone. As a 12 year old girl from a family of tall people, she would be around 154 cm (and still growing).

Yuko has her father's eyes (albeit a little bigger than his) and cool skin tone, but facially resembles her mother more along with the dark brown hair. She's still fairly small at this age, hence there's no need for me to specify her exact height yet.

Resemblance wise among siblings: Ryuunosuke and Kohaku ー Rena and Yuko

Miscellaneous headcanons

Because Ryuunosuke royally couldn't give a fuck of what other people think about his interests and such as long as he's comfortably being discreet about it, he doesn't mind that plenty of his skills/hobbies came from bonding with his sisters growing up.

His mother taught him how to style hair (be it tying, braiding, twisting, and such) ever since he was younger, so that he could do his sisters' hair whenever she's not present.

The moment he witnesses his mom trying a new hairstyle to one of his sisters, and that he had nothing to do that day, he would simply watch and learn how she does it, so that there'll be more options to choose from the next time his sisters ask him to do their hair.

Yes, that would also mean he would practice doing it to himself since his hair is luckily long enough to pull it off.

Yuko likes cute and pretty hairstyles in general. So everytime she asks for Ryuunosuke to do her hair, the options are many.

Kohaku is a very active preteen who's currently trying every activity available to make a main hobby of. Hence, she'd prefer if her hair is out of the way. Varying dutch braided hairstyles are the usual option.

Rena, for the most part, prefers to just have her hair down. She took it upon herself to teach her brother how to safely use the hair straightener (be it actually straightening the hair or sometimes making waves and curls), and he managed to get it the first time she taught him, so good for him.

...yeah Ryuunosuke ended up becoming the resident hairstylist in the house lol.

But there are times when Rena is the younger girls' hairstylist.

The very popular rumour spreading in Kunugigaoka academy about how Ryuunosuke's parents haven't seen his eyes for a whole year is completely false by the way.

Ryuunosuke grew out his bangs to hide his eyes to accommodate with his peers, because he is considerate enough to think about other people's comfort when in his presence.

But since his family has seen his eyes from the very beginning and might've been very much used to their "intensity", there was absolutely no need for Ryuunosuke to adjust (aka hide his eyes) for them.

Also that Ryuunosuke just felt horrible at the thought of hiding half of his face from his family, including his mother, since he did mostly get it from her.

He doesn't necessarily brush his bangs off his face when at home, but he isn't as cautious as he usually is outside whenever his hair moves a lot. He just does whatever.

Though there are times when Ryuunosuke becomes his sisters' dress up doll instead, especially Rena when she's in the mood. As long as they don't have any non-family friend guests over... and that there are no scissors involved (oh lord...), he doesn't mind what they would do to his hair, face, or clothes.

Ryuunosuke and Rena just argue a lot... pathetically. Like just them having long exhausting debates about what dinner they should have, who's gonna do certain chores for the day, what they should buy or not when grocery shopping, and etc.

Just them struggling to come into an agreement... always 😭

Ryuunosuke's family more or less knew about his Lead Guitarist-kun shenanigans (Rena still loves to make fun of the hairstyle he had the first time the band performed, that's why he hated it so much lol). He didn't gave too much detail about the entire situation, but they at least know that he doesn't want outsiders to recognize him outside the band.

Yeah worst nightmare came true lol... his family watched the performance and they recognized him 😂

But nonetheless, his mother was pleased at the thought of her son having friends who he's comfortable enough to usually show his eyes to. So, she pretty much lets him be.

Aside from the fact that he constantly worries them for not asking for help or opening up to them whenever he's clearly struggling, Ryuunosuke has a good relationship with his parents.

Because he used to be so emotionally dependent towards his mother when he was younger, it's not really surprising that she'd ended up becoming the more worried parent when Ryuunosuke started to become stubbornly independent growing up.

After the sudden stress he had her go through in his late 2nd year, Ryuunosuke decided to take it easy with the sudden changes he impulsively makes.

Got a girlfriend and just realized that he never once hinted it towards his parents, or even met the girl yet? Yeah, gently bring it up to him mom, take it slow, and start from the very beginning then. He brought this to himself, so he should rightfully suffer from having to explain everything while making sure he's not freaking his mom out 😭

Family dinners are usually loud and lively. The two younger girls and their father are the most talkative, while their mother just gently goes along with the conversation. Rena is usually the most quiet during these times, followed by Ryuunosuke who sometimes joins in or just sit it out.

Family get togethers during the holidays are even livelier.

It's likely that Ryuunosuke's parents may not be able to attend parent-teacher conferences, since he does have a lot of siblings. And in the academic year of 2014-2015, they'd likely put their focus more on to attending Rena's instead as she is a graduating high school student who's soon off to university.

I think this does it then!

I'll just add more to the list in the future if I get more ideas :D

REVELATIONS MADE BY THE SIX DEMONS DURING THE EXORCISM OF ANNELIESE MICHEL: AKA THE REAL EMILY ROSE

What Lucifer said:-

"I want to conquer the earth for myself. In the meantime, I make a rich booty. I am filling up my kingdom. I take whatever I can take, I must convince you of this".

"The majority have abandoned the Nazarene. How foolish! Those still faithful are a small flock".

"I took Judas with me! He is always at my service. He is damned. He could have saved himself, but he has not followed the Nazarene".

"The enemies of the Church belong to us".

"O, if you had an idea of how things stand below! The visionary children of Fatima have seen it. If you had an idea..... you would be on your knees day and night at the tabernacle. I had to say it because the High Lady compels me to". The 'High Lady' refers to Our Lady.

Fr Renz asks Lucifer - "You are responsible for heresies, eg those of Kung!". Lucifer replies - " Yes and we have still more".

Lucifer said - "The priests should say that I exist. Or else they will all go down!"

Today, hardly anyone believes any longer in the Immaculate Conception. And the Church? At present, most believe it is only a community. The modernists are killing it evermore. We are hard at work at this, and we throw much poison into the Church, so it might be discredited. By now, those who believe in the Church and are faithful and believe in Her [teachings] are very few. The rosary? They think it is "modern". Many believe that after life, everything is finished. These are very many, and they live accordingly, because they do not pray any longer. Sins reach Heaven: but the thing will not last long. The one of 1917 [the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima] said it. But only a few have listened to her. Death, tribulations, and famine, O yes, they will surely come again!”

What Judas said:-

"I am damned for eternity! You careless people, if you could just imagine what it is to be damned for eternity! I am damned!

"I will not come out of the girl. Down there, it is too tormenting".

"If people knew what was in store for them by not going to church! It will fair them extremely bad".

"These modernists are the result of my work and they already belong to me".

"They no longer obey the Pope in Rome. It is the one in Rome who still keeps the Church going".

"Humanae Vitae is also with no result. It is useless"

"The religious in monasteries watch TV and don't pray enough, do not kneel down and they extend their paws (ie, receive Holy Communion in the hand).

What Cain said:-

"I have killed my brother. I am burning"

What Hitler said:-

"Men are so beastly stupid! They believe that after death all is finished. But life goes on, either up or down"

What Father Fleischmann said:-

"I was a priest at Ettleben. I am damned. It is horrible down there. Judas pulled me down there".

" I am damned because I fulfilled my duties very badly"

"I have killed 1 person and I had women".

"I prayed too little. I was always in a hurry to finish my sacred duties. Now, I am down there languishing for eternity".

"No priests should marry".

"If the bishops did not permit communion in the hand, this would not have happened" (this refers to consecrated hosts being sold).

What Nero said:-

"You should follow the message of Fatima!"

"Humanae Vitae is decisive, the whole Humanae Vitae!"

"The rosary should be recited, or else it is the end!"

Fr Renz asks about Bishop Lefebvre. Lucifer replies, "Ha! That one! But they don't believe in him. What a pity".

Miscellaneous things the demons said:-

"The modernists are killing the Church. We are hard at work at this".

"No one speaks any longer of us, especially the parish priests".

"The bishops are so foolish as to believe the theologians like Kung rather than the Pope."

"This is the month of the rosary but very few recite it, because the parish priests think it's not modern. They are so foolish! If they knew its importance! It is a strong weapon against Satan and against us."

Nero said, "The Dutch bishops are heretics. They have become unfaithful to the Pope!"

"Catholics have the true doctrine and they run after the Protestants like prostitutes!"

"There in the synods, they continue to deliberate. The bishops already know what they should do. There would be no need of synods if they followed the Pope. For them the Pope is foolish! They are those who let that thing (the host) be given in the hands!"

"The doctrine is falsified in the Church!"

"Many do not go to church any longer. No one kneels down to the Blessed Sacrament. And the Church is not doing well since the time it was founded. The churches are so modern! The Nazarene and His Mother are now attacking!"

"People should go to confession".

Judas says, "The giving of Communion in the hand was my work".

"Holy water should come back to houses! Also, the crucifix should return to its place in the home".

"The Holy Face should be venerated!"

"It is very important to pray to St Joseph. Rather it is most important!".

"If the message of Fatima is not given due importance and Humanae Vitae, a new punishment will come".

"It won't last much longer. The chastisement is coming".

"The contents of the audio cassette must beforehand be made public. Many will yet be saved."

"Guardian angels are day and night near you, behind you. Today people do not believe in guardian angels. Guardian angels are my enemies. I hate them."

Nero said, "Abortion is homicide"

Lucifer said, "The apparitions of San Damiano and Montechiari are true. The Church did not approve them, but this is the fruit of our work."

Judas said, "People standing during Holy Communion pleases me more than kneeling. I do everything possible that no one be on his knees."

In 1975, Judas also said, "We are very happy with the new reforms. We are most happy with these changes."

"ABORTION AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH MONTH (THE ABORTION TAKES PLACE), IS MURDER AND THAT THE THINGS, THE EMBRYOS, DO NOT REACH THE VISION OF GOD. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BAPTIZED.

The Priest asks, Where to the Embryos go when they are not baptized? Not to Hell? NO!!!

MORE MUST BE PRAYED TO THE HOLY GUARDIAN ANGELS THE PEOPLE MUST PRAYER MORE TO THEM BECAUSE, BECAUSE, BECAUSE, BECAUSE...

THEY ARE MY ENEMIES I HATE THEM. YES, BECAUSE, BECAUSE THE POWER OF HELL RIGHT NOW IS SO GREAT! YES, AND THE PEOPLE MUST IMPLORE THEIR GUARDIAN ANGELS SO THAT THEY WILL STAND BY THEM!

Physical Affection with - Marko Stunt

i really wish i’d thought to make this for his birthday. oh well, here we are.

As requested by @irish-newzealand-idian-dutch, here’s Physical Affection with Marko Stunt! Enjoy!

He’s always affectionate with you, let’s get real

You see the way that he treats his friends? How affectionate he is with them? Now imagine how he’d treat you if you were dating.

You’re gonna have a bit of a hard time keeping him under control, if we’re being entirely honest

He’s only a year older than Jungle Boy, but he doesn’t care about being cringey in the same way that his teammate does; he’s absolutely in love with you, and damn if the entire world isn’t gonna know

He tries his best to respect your boundaries, though; he might slip up, but he’s gonna try really hard to not make you uncomfortable

There will probably never be a day where he doesn’t hug or kiss you tbh

Holding Hands

I feel like he’s not too big a fan of holding hands, honestly?

Like, he has no problem whatsoever with it, but he’d much rather just hug you or something

He mainly holds your hand during moments where he has to be professional, or in situations where he doesn’t really know anyone around him (and thus, wants to make a good impression)

It’s not uncommon for him to lace his fingers with yours when he’s nervous in these situations, though; you often end up tracing patterns on his palm with your thumb to calm him down

He’ll also grab your hand after he takes hard bumps; he’s a human crash test dummy sometimes, so he knows that you get really worried about him

You’ll lean down to check on him, and he’ll reach for your hand and squeeze it to show you that he’s okay

Overall, this is mostly just a reassurance thing; he would much rather have an arm (or two) around you in any situation

Bonus: He once jokingly bought one of those mittens that you can put two hands into (the ones meant for couples to hold hands when it’s cold). After using it during a winter show in the northern US, though, he’s absolutely come to love using it when it’s cold outside.

Hugging

This is his SHIT, buddy

He’s almost always gonna be hugging you

If you’re in a conversation, he’ll come up behind you and grab your waist, burying his head in your neck or back while he listens to you

He loves throwing an arm over your shoulder when you’re walking next to him, pulling you into his side and kissing your temple (oh, we’ll get there, don’t worry)

He’ll totally ask you to give him piggyback rides around the arena; he gets to spend time with you, and he gets to hold you; what’s not to love?

He clings to you after matches; especially if he got a little beaten up or if he lost, he’ll stand in front of you, letting you rake your fingers across the bare skin of his back as you tell him how well he did

If he wins? He’s gonna jump into your arms (and probably knock you to the floor tbh) because he’s so excited to share his victory with you

He just loves having you in his grasp; the closer you are to him, the more of you that he can hold, the happier he’ll be

Bonus: The Dark Order once tried to interfere in a match between Private Party and Jurassic Express (well, Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy), but they got scared off by you, wielding a kendo stick and chasing them on Marko’s back. Fans made gifs of that shit for months on end, and it ended up as his Twitter profile picture because he loved it so much.

Kissing

Side note: HAVE YOU SEEN HIS FUCKING LIPS

THEY’RE SO PLUMP AND SOFT-LOOKING; 10/10 IT WOULD BE LIKE KISSING A DAMN PILLOW OR SOMETHING (sorry, needed to get that one out)

Anyway! He loves temple kisses SO much, and he can’t really explain why if you want the truth

It’s not at all uncommon for him to be so surprised or proud of you (for literally ANYTHING) that he’ll just lean in and press his lips to your forehead

He loves when you pepper his face with kisses

If you initiate a kiss, he’ll just kinda...go still, and he’ll touch wherever your lips touched when you pull away, breaking out in a huge grin

You can just barely kiss his cheek or the tip of his nose and he’s gonna Lose His Shit

When you’re alone, he’ll put his fingers under your chin and tilt your head until he can kiss your lips

He ADORES the feeling of kissing you until he’s almost literally breathless

He loves the feeling of pulling away after a long kiss, his face red and his breath a little heavy as he presses his forehead to yours

I haven’t really brought it up for anyone else, but he also definitely loves making out with you

The heat that settles in the air, the way that you can’t keep your lips off of each other...it’s damn near heaven to him

(lowkey loves it when you bite his bottom lip between kisses, he’ll let out the hottest groans...okay we’re done this is already off the damn rails but we’re about to steer into some possibly very nsfw territory if i don’t STOP)

Bonus: Your first kiss was after some drunk guy tried to heckle you at a show; you were super upset, but he spent well over an hour sitting and comforting you, and you gave him the tiniest (cutest) little kiss after you calmed down and was feeling better

Cuddling

He loves holding you

His philosophy is that no matter what you’re working on, you can probably do it from on his lap

Working on a report? Well, you can sit together in front of your computer

Listening to music? Your phone is portable, you know

Speaking of music!! He loves when you lay in his arms while he works on writing new lyrics, or when you hold him from behind while he thinks out new melodies on his guitar

He lets you lay across his legs while he plays, making a point to strum a little softer so he doesn’t disturb you

You once fell asleep on his shoulder, listening to a new melody he was working on, and he nearly had a heart attack from how cute you were

I feel like even if you fall asleep on opposite sides of the bed, you end up curled into each other by morning

He’s the little spoon, don’t @ me on this one

He’s so often the one initiating contact, between you and others that he’s close with, that having someone holding him for once is super meaningful to him in a way that you don’t really understand

You’ve woken up with his hair in your face so many times that it’s an inside joke that he’s gonna start sleeping in a beanie for you

Bonus: he loves to wake you up by singing to you. He’ll turn towards you and play with your hair while he serenades you out of your sleep

Miscellaneous things

He once wrote you a love song for your anniversary; he sent it to you while he was away on a tour and you called him, crying in your car because it was so sweet

He calls you his muse, no this is not negotiable

He’s your number one hype man; you can call him at any time and he’ll have a speech on hand about awesome you are and how you can do anything in the world

Even if he doesn’t actually know what he’s hyping you up for

He’ll beat the ass of anyone that dares to talk shit about you, no matter how much bigger they are

You’re an unofficial member of Jurassic Express; JB and Luchasaurus see you as part of the family, so you’re also gonna have them ready to haul ass for you at all times

He’s also surprisingly good to talk to; his mental filter can get a little clogged, and he’s suggested fighting your boss on multiple occasions because of it, but he’s such a good listener and you can tell that he really cares about you and what you’re saying

He’s always gonna have your back (metaphorically and literally)...he’s such an affectionate dude, he’ll always care about you and make sure you feel loved in every capacity

He’s a secret romantic underneath all the physical sensations, although those play right into it, and he’s gonna always have his mind on how much he loves you

i’m honestly considering writing making out with marko hcs now, so...yeah. let me know if y’all want that.

matt menard x f!reader (bonus points for daddy kink and extra bonus points if angelo watches)

Matt Menard x f/Reader (18+)

Main Masterlist ♡ Miscellaneous Wrestlers Masterlist

Warnings: Some swearing. Descriptive sexual acts. Daddy Kink. Angelo Parker watching. Choking, creampie. Unprotected sex. NSFW under the cut

Just like all my other stories, this has not been proofread, but please enjoy.

Gifs and photos do not belong to me. 1st gif @hikuleo

I hope you like it.

Summary: f/Reader & Matt Menard are having sex while Angelo Parker watches as he has lost a bet.

YN's POV:

I cried out as Matt wrapped his hand around my throat and squeezed just enough that it had me seeing stars from the intense pleasure.

My pussy got tighter around his cock as he fucked me. "Fuckin' hell YN, don't do that." He groaned out.

I did it again as I couldn't help myself. "Oh fuck." He moaned as he let go of my throat and pushed my head face first into the pillows.

"Let me see her face man." I heard the breathless voice from the side of the bed.

My head was forced to look over at the man sitting in the chair, completely naked, his cock harder than I have ever seen it and the poor untouched tip was just red and dripping.

I wanted him down my throat but he lost the bet. A bet that I can not remember was even about.

My eyes stared right into Jeff's eyes. His gaze was intense as he looked on as his best friend fuck me like this was Matt's last day on earth.

I cried out as my head was lifted from the pillow, Matt's face looming over me as he looked down.

"Who is the one fucking you?" His pace seemed to get faster and my mouth hung open.

I didn't answer as the pleasure is taking over me.

"Answer the fucking question." Matt growled out.

"You Daddy." I groaned not realising what I called him.

He stopped moving and that had me whining.

He looked over at Jeff and that back down at me. "What did you call me?"

"Da, daddy." I said.

"Call me it again."

"Please don't stop Daddy. Fuck me. I need you to fuck me Daddy." I groaned out.

I screamed a little when he pulled out of me and flipped me onto my back.

He had my legs over his shoulders and is thrusting into me once more. His fingers were between our bodies, rubbing harshly at my clit.

My body started to tremble as I can that I was close, so close to finishing.

"Come on babygirl. Cum all over Daddy's dick."

"Fuck this is hot." Jeff's voice worked its way through the haze that has clouded my thoughts.

I couldn't hold back anymore. I wrapped my arms around his back and pulled Matt even closer to me.

With a loud gasp, I came.

I came so hard I felt like I was going to black out. I had sweat and tears dripping down my face, but he never let up.

Matt fucked me through my orgasm and even brought on two more small ones.

"Need you to cum Daddy. Too much." I cried out as it was becoming too much for me.

It wasn't before he finally stilled, his mouth was on mine as he came in me with a loud groan. His hips stuttered as he filled me with his cum.

He cupped my cheek as he kissed me, the two of us lost in one another.

"Oh fuck me." The two of us looked over and saw that Jeff's face, chest and lap were covered in his jizz and he was breathing hard.

"Oh come on man, you weren't supposed to touch yourself." Matt groaned out.

Jeff shrugged his shoulders and winked at me as Matt continued to argue with him.

Miscellaneous Quotes. / @coyotesteeth -- accepting

❝ Your wounds are healing well, ❞ Cassie noted as she gazed upon the bed-ridden Johann, pen and scrapbook in hand. ❝ We won’t let you die on us. ❞ That was a promise she wouldn’t hand out so easily, especially those with injuries littering their body, but from how she looked upon Johann’s injuries, he was far from meeting face to face with the grim reaper.

❝ Onto greater news, ❞ she smiled and turned the scrapbook in her hands to face Johann. ❝ I just finished Dutch’s page in the scrapbook. ❞ As she expressed pride in her hobby, she pointed her index finger at the drawn stache under Dutch Van der Linde. Along the page there was a drawn bandana, a written segment from a novel by Ed Miller, a broken watch chain glued with candle wax, an article she found that centered on Dutch’s recent robbery, and other notable items.

71+ Unforgettably Priceless Friendship Quotes, Proverbs, and Messages in Different Languages

Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem بسم الله الرّحمن الرّحيم… In the name of Allah (God), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Assalaamu 'alaikum السّلام عليكم… Peace be with you

Hi, Readers :). When you think about the word "friend", what comes to mind? I bet you think of someone who is near to your heart. But how does someone achieve that status of being dear to you?

1. Always try to be yourself. Let your friends see you for who you really are. Don't be a phony (fake). Show them your true personality. Don't act one way in front of them, and another way behind their backs. If they can accept the real you, then you'll be able to have more meaningful and lasting friendships.

"One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say."

― Bryant H. McGill

"There is as much wisdom in listening as there is in speaking--and that goes for all relationships, not just romantic ones."

― Daniel Dae Kim

2. Be an active, caring and responsive listener. Try to listen to your friends carefully, interestedly and understandingly. And, always make an effort to give them constructive feedback and sound advice.

"Perfection is a goal that will forever remain impossible for any human being to achieve. Therefore, the only achievable goal is to only strive to become the best that you can possibly be."

― Edmond Mbiaka

"I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect."

― Spike Lee

3. No one is perfect. This is earth! We all have faults. Know that you have faults, and that your friends have faults too. And, learn to live with them. Some of them can be fixed and some of them can't be fixed. C'est la vie! ('That's life'; 'Such is life' in French) If you do something wrong, take the blame. Say your sorries, and try your best to learn from your mistakes.

"Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it all into words is all that is necessary."

― Margaret Cousins

"Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."

― Marcel Proust

4. Appreciate your friends. Show them your appreciation. Let them know that you value them. Here are some simple ways of doing this:

Write them a kind note, letter, or email.

Give them a surprise call to let them know you haven't forgotten them.

Make something special for them.

Compliment them about their successes. But please don't flatter them, as flattery is insincere.

Show them signs of care and affection.

Do something sweet and thoughtful for them.

Give them a small gift to let them know that they mean something to you. You can be creative in this area, as it's the thought that counts most!

Verbalize it! Let your friends know how grateful you are for them. Tell them how much you prize (appreciate) their friendship.

"Tell people how it is, be real and be honest. If you see something wrong make sure you speak up. Being this way will naturally eliminate the snakes and fakes."

― John Maiorana

"Honesty is the best policy."

― Benjamin Franklin

5. Be honest and frank (direct) with your friends, but please remember to be polite too. If your friends ask for your opinion on a matter, give them a sincere one. Don't lie to them. Tell them the truth that they need to hear, but say it tactfully (politely).

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

"There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up."

― John Holmes

6. Be caring and helpful to others. Use your God-given abilities to do something good for your friends. Be genuinely thoughtful towards them, and look for ways that you can help them. When you help others it makes you healthier and happier.

"To keep the Golden Rule we must put ourselves in other people's places, but to do that consists in and depends upon picturing ourselves in their places."

― Harry Emerson Fosdick

"Treat others how you want to be treated."

7. Treat your friends as you'd like to be treated. That's the Golden Rule! If you follow this principle religiously (regularly, constantly), you're bound to have successful long-term friendships.

*genuine adjective = (of a person, emotion, or action) sincere.

Synonyms: "sincere", "honest", "truthful", "unhypocritical", "meaning what one says", "straightforward", "direct", "frank", "candid", "open"; "artless", "natural", "unaffected", "guileless", "ingenuous"; informal "straight", "upfront", "on the level"; informal "on the up and up"; informal "dinkum"

Mary Wollstonecraft, Mother of the Mary’s

For centuries, women have fought for the right to a proper education. History shows that noble or upper-class women were the only women allowed to get any sort of learning, and as history has continued, there has been a greater fight to give all girls the right to a proper education. One of the most notable women in this fight is Mary Wollstonecraft, an English woman who would fight tooth-and-nail for the education of girls and would not hold back against her male opponents. But to understand Mary’s importance to history, as with anyone, we must take a look at her life to see what led to her trailblazing fight for women’s education.

Mary Wollstonecraft was born in Primrose Street, London, on April 27th, 1759. She was the 2nd of 7 children, and the eldest daughter, to her father, Edward, and her mother, Elizabeth Dickson, an Irish Protestant, though Mary’s life was anything but a primrose path. Edward Wollstonecraft was an abusive bully, who seemed to leave a trail of failed work behind him. His father had been a successful silk merchant from Spitalfields, and left Mary’s father at least 10,000 pounds, which he squandered in failed farming ventures. His failures took him to six different places in Britain, until 1780, when her mother died. This would not be the last time Mary is faced with death, or failed marriages.

After losing her mother, Mary decided to make her way in the world. She lived with her lifelong friend, Fanny, and in 1783, Mary helped her sister escape an abusive marriage, and kept her safe, while the divorce was finalized. The three girls, together, decided to build a school in Newington Green, which failed financially. After this, Fanny left for Lisbon, got married and became pregnant. She begged Mary to come visit and Mary arrived in Lisbon to Fanny in premature labor. Sadly, Mary would have to watch her dear friend, and Fanny’s newborn baby, die on the same night, in 1785. All of this would likely culminate in Mary’s less than happy view of marriage and motherhood. Mary was surrounded by women who died for motherhood and were repeatedly failed by men who were supposed to love and support them. Mary also supposedly mimicked Fanny’s death in one of her later novels. (Mary, A Fiction)

Mary would end up leaving the school to go to Ireland, which is when the young writer found herself employed as a governess in Co. Cork, Ireland, in 1786 for Lord and Lady Kingsborough. Mary taught their three daughters and was just beginning to make way as a writer. She had already submitted her first book, Thoughts on the Education of Daughters, a series of essays, to Joseph Johnson. Her essays would be published in 1787. During her stay, Mary would begin working on her book, Mary, A Fiction (1788).

Upon her return to London, Mary began working for Joseph Johnson again, creating more writings and growing her literary prowess. She wrote her next book, Original Stories from Real Life; with Conversations, calculated to Regulate the Affections, and Form the Mind to Truth and Goodness (1788) and The Female Reader; Miscellaneous Pieces in Prose and Verse; Selected from the Best Writers and Disposed under Proper Heads; for the Improvement of Young Women (1789) created under the nom de plume, Mr. Cresswick, teacher of Elocution.

I find it telling that even as a woman with growing knowledge of literature and the education of young girls, she felt the best way to get people to truly listen to her was to take the appearance of a man. After all, despite Wollstonecraft’s lack of a formal education, she had gained quite a vast knowledge on these subjects. Considering the school she created, her work as a governess, her work with Johnson that led to her getting to rub shoulders with men like William Blake and Godwin, as well as having direct access to review and translate the works of men like Jacques Necker, Reverend C.G. Salzmann, and Madame de Cambon from Dutch, French, and German. Even with what little she had, she was a woman of great intelligence and knowledge in these fields.

Mary was also not afraid to go toe-to-toe with writers of the day. She was a staunch supporter of the French Revolution for their egalitarian views (though this support would pointedly end during the Reign of Terror) and wrote a scathing response to Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France which would become her book, A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790). Two years later, Mary wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Woman which included an equally scathing response to Jean-Jacque Rousseau’s book on education, Emile, which included the story of a boy and his learning through experiences in nature, while in the same book, discussing a little girl who could not learn or understand like Emile could because she was a girl. Wollstonecraft likens him to a barbarian and calls his beliefs “madness”. She believed there was no reason a girl shouldn’t be taught as a boy would.

Perhaps Wollstonecraft’s growing attack against her counterparts shows her determination to stand up for girls and their education. After all, Mary would have particularly strong feelings, considering she had to watch her brother get a formal education while she and her siblings were pushed aside. After all, she worked just as hard, if not harder, than these men, so why shouldn’t she? I also find it interesting that while she worked with many of the more respected of her time, Mary’s name tends to be the one we know better over many of these men.

The same year Mary published her most well-known book, she met Captain Gilbert Imlay, whom she began an affair with and had a daughter. She named the girl Fanny after her childhood best friend. Mary would make a note to continue writing as she raised her daughter, but this romance would not last long. Imlay would turn on Mary and abandon her and their daughter, leaving Mary distraught and alone. She attempted suicide, but was luckily saved, and she would soon fall in love with her old friend, William Godwin. The two married and Mary gave birth to their daughter, also named Mary, but this would not be such a happy time. Despite Mary wanting a midwife who would be more experienced, Mary was put under the care of a doctor who mishandled a minor surgery that would lead to Mary’s death, eleven days after the birth of her daughter, who would go on to be as great a writer as her mother. Mary would die at the age of 38, never truly knowing the daughter who would follow in her mother’s path of literary skill.

Mary wrote eight books in total, one being published after her death. Mary was a woman of wit and fire, who as she learned, would become less and less apologetic about her opinions for women’s right to equal education, and how they should be taught to be independent and how a lack of education would lead to future generations not receiving the schooling they needed. She was a woman who would inspire future generations to fight for women’s equality and education. I studied Mary’s works through a class, “Women in Modern Europe” my sophomore year and after all we learned, I rather wish we got to see Mary Shelley grow up with her mother. I can only imagine the incredible things those two women would have accomplished together.
