Otome anon again ❤️ thanks for the reply! I'm quite happy about it. And yeah I'm a little late to your works bc of school so there's a bunch of works that I need to catch up on 😭 Really hoping we get a small break soon. From the looks of it, your newer works are gonna be WILD 😳 I mostly got introduced to your blog bc of your Alhaitham and Tighnari fics: Vision Qualifications and Creative Differences. I was particularly very interested in how you portrayed Tighnari in CD and adored the way reader being a writer was portrayed.

And yes! It's a game that will be downloadable and I've been learning a bit of renpy to achieve this. It's surprisingly simpler than I imagined. All the tutorials are helpful and the folks in the renpy server are very nice 👌 So far routes aren't 100% finalised but I will say that there ARE secret routes that you can unlock if you choose the right options 🤭

I'm thinking of trying to make a survey to decide some routes but I'm not overly sure what to put on it.

Thanks for all the support!!

"your newer works are gonna be WILD 😳"

??? wdym, after the last 4 fics ive written im being incredibly merciful rn in the secret pen pal event lol.

I mostly got introduced to your blog bc of your Alhaitham and Tighnari fics: Vision Qualifications and Creative Differences. I was particularly very interested in how you portrayed Tighnari in CD and adored the way reader being a writer was portrayed.

you guys are free to hate me for this: but those two fics are my least liked fics i've written hAHAHAHAH. not enough spice for me. not enough violence or dubious "food". i still question why people wanted part 2 on that tighnari fic when for me it was the blandest story i've written i am SORRY it just IS for me ya know what I mean it's just BLAND NO SPICES NO FLAVOR- i wrote about cannibalism, a dragon diety!reader, and a bunch of weird things, my small brain does not calculate why these two has more attention than the ones I actually use my brain for hAHHAHAHAHA- (like seriously, both those fics had little research whatsoever while I'm pulling out sht like Japanese & Filipino mythology, KPop culture, and fricking Abraham Lincoln's biography (no joke.) on other fics hjdasjas)

All the tutorials are helpful

my dumbass who spent hours tryna figure out how to remove the dialogue box for a CG scene: haha yeah g-good for you...

I'm thinking of trying to make a survey to decide some routes but I'm not overly sure what to put on it.

as a dain simp you know who i'd vote for so if you don't want a biased poll don't let me find that survey hAHAHAHAH

considering that you like otome games, I'm recommending this one: "I Got Reincarnated As A Server NPC In An Otome Game But A Capture Target Won’t Leave Me Alone". Don't be discouraged by that title, it's not a comedy LN at all. It contains violence and a mentally deranged cold duke of the south diluc lol. my fave blorbo.

O Capo! My Capo! can be a pretty grim series considering how I was inspired to write it because of a bad ending in an otome game fandisc. There are major character deaths (and it's 100% the readers' fault when an LI dies because of votes), mentions of drug abuse, etc. But if you like Piofiore perhaps you'd appreciate it too. Capo!reader is basically "what if Lilia had Dante's occupation and Gilbert's charisma-- oh and I guess your Nicola is Alhaitham for some reason" lmao.

ps: i think i saw you posting a question on r/otome_games about how to make the MC's personality. i agree with the majority that, honestly, you should just go wild lmao. make MC have some fighting spirit. the bar is low--

in any case, I wish you luck!!! have fun coding the game <3

#ansy-stalks #ansy's stalking: otome anon <3 #is this opinion controversial lmfao

Dare I ask about Lincoln?

lincoln's sexuality is one of the most fiercely guarded topics in american history and the mere mention of lincoln being not heterosexual will get you sniped by david herbert donald in cold blood, but i take every possible opportunity to pontificate about it

the fact of the matter is that there are multiple instances that we can point to of lincoln having extremely intimate relationships with men (joshua speed, david derickson, etc), to the point that people of the time were remarking on them as unusual and even unseemly, up to and including the most significant and intimate relationship of his life, with joshua speed

and it's like, lincoln shacked up with joshua speed and slept in the same bed as him quite literally rent free for four goddamn years, and the response to that by the historical establishment surrounding lincoln—which, by the way, is the same establishment that tried to destroy lincoln's more controversial writings, including his writings that mentioned homosexuality, because they would "tarnish the image of a great man"—is that oh, well, it was normal for men to share beds for a day or two in the 1800s when no other bed was available, and they "wouldn't have thought to do anything untoward," and to paint lincoln as this solemn, sexless man who abstained from sex with women on "moral grounds" (a real thing people have suggested. l m a o)

and it's like, abraham lincoln as a teenager wrote a poem about gay sex that was so explicit for the time that it was purged for a century from the annals of lincoln literature despite being his earliest popular success in writing, he notoriously frequently made anal sex jokes so raunchy that he demanded they never be written down, and on the night joshua speed got married, he had a panic attack. like? i think it's more than fair to have suspicions, and the only reason to react with such vehement opposition is belief that sexual relations with men in some way tarnishes lincoln's legacy lmao

#p #in the great kerfuffle over lincoln's sexuality i put my money on ''bisexual''#for whatever that's worth #but it's a fascinating subject to read up on and if nothing else i always encourage people to read off the beaten path biographies #of famous historical figures like lincoln #just because the legacy-obsessed versions of them often peddled by ''official'' biographers leave out the good shit lmao

I’m also a little ??? at this whole ‘30’s reel announcer intro thing. It’s very…distinct, but it feels weird to just throw me past a bunch of interesting stuff, like the actual discovery of the signal. This is much more a taste-based complaint than my other remark about story structure, I admit. Just…it makes it feel very clear that the writing priorities are Flashy Action above story.

Another episode of the Clone Wars with no clone content.

WE EVANGELION NOW

I’ve read a lot of fic about Mortis and nobody mentioned that it was an octahedron

So Obi-Wan has that Open Circle logo on his vambrace, but Anakin doesn’t

why does this feel so much like a Star Trek TOS episode

“landed on a mystery planet and there’s a bunch of gods here I guess, whattup Abraham Lincoln”

oddity: she introduces herself as “Daughter” , no article, but the others are “The Father”/”The Son”

If I were in Anakin’s position I would have assumed that she’s immune to rocks tbh. Bitch is glowing, reality is running in fast-forward. I assume she’d be able to handle rocks

Is this the first we’ve seen of Ahsoka dual-wielding or is my memory bad?

smh Ahsoka, short sabers are a massive DPS loss that aren’t worth the additional to-hit bonus. It’s so much easier to get additional to-hit buffs via gear or feats than it is to get additional damage, girl!

“Whoever I’m looking for is in that monastery”

this is such an “I read the script” line lmao he knows nothing about this planet except that its physical features do not adhere to the standard definition of reality, why would a tall building be more relevant than anything else? I mean, it’s an assumption that’s very IC for Anakin, I’m not criticizing that. Just. It’s funny.

i put on my robe and wizard hat.jpg

this mf straight out of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice

…are this guy’s theatrics even necessary? Aside from like, one Mace Windu line I don’t think anyone’s vocally doubted Anakin being the Chosen One

>Obi-Wan straight going 'bullshit’ and drawing his saber on ghost Qui-Gon

that’s my man

I like how Qui-Gon is rendered here (NOSE.jpg) but his voice feels…off. Which is funny, cos I believe this is actually Liam Neeson? lol

holy SHIT, they rendered a blanket. Really breaking the budget for Anakin here

I dunno man, it just feels bizarre and unnecessary to me to represent the Force, something that has specifically never been gendered or anthropomorphized as a single person, as three white people. You can split hairs about how they’re not technically the Force and “only” super-powerful Force beings, but come on. Narratively you are supposed to be taking them as Force Avatars, not a bunch of random assholes high on power. They sure feel like a bunch of random assholes to me, but I’m a mean person

Do you get it. Do you get the joke. Do you get that he’s The Father because Anakin has no father. That is the joke.

GIANT MONTRALS

Do Shaak Ti’s lekku do that awkward thing in profile of dangling over her boobs like this older Ahsoka here? If they do, I don’t recall. Maybe it just looks less odd on her because she’s wearing robes

I really can’t divine the intent, the purpose of this writing, why these people are here, their goals. Narratively or in-universe.

Like, this guy says that he can only CONTROL his children on this planet, and…what does that mean. Are they not sentient? Are they sentient and he just doesn’t believe that? Anakin doesn’t even question the need to control his children (which is, again, very Anakin, but useless to us from an information perspective)

There’s a couple beats of the Imperial March around this guy’s “and a prison” line

Ah yes, so this is where we get that headass “balance is dark AND light” take. I would like to mulishly submit that these are just random, pretentious assholes buying their own bullshit.

“when news reached me that the Chosen One had been found…”

Hang on hang on hang on

You get, like…physical news? I thought you were connected to the Force or some shit. You leech space wi-fi? You steal the neighbor’s papers? Because you’re about ten years late on the whole “Chosen One found” thing and if you’re so hax powerful connected to reality whatever, it’s very weird to me that you’re this dated in your news. I guess this could be a “we perceive time differently because we’re a million years old” thing, but it’s just odd

So far Mortis is a bizarre blend of literal and metaphorical/symbolic in a way that I’m having trouble parsing. Like, The Son’s big fancy plan was just dumping rocks on a bitch on this reality-bending octahedron

LITERALLY if you’re some kind of Force spirit why don’t you just fucking know whether or not Anakin is the Chosen One. Tick of evidence in my “just random pretentious assholes” column

Obi-Wan calls this planet “herself”

stupid-ass fucking regular yin-yang in goddamn incomprehensible space aliens God I hate this so much

“release the guilt and free yourself by choosing [who lives and who dies]”

That…seems like complete gibberish and another tick in my “pretentious asshole” column but whatever, I’ll buy that you believe it

Is it that impressive to lift creatures that already fly?

“it’s symbolic (caw)” note: yin-yang is now completely black

Looks like there’s…constellations in the ring above the arena? There’s a crane in the low-angle shot of Obi-Wan

“It has been foretold that the Chosen One will keep my children in balance!”

By who? When? Is this dude supposed to be so delusional and drunk on power that he’s convinced himself that he IS the Force and that’s why nothing here lines up with greater Force lore?

I really think this guy is just a delusional asshole

TWW REWATCH: Take This Sabbath Day (1.14)

• ngl this isn’t my favorite episode but I still like it obviously cause it’s the west wing

• why would this dude assume Sam’s gonna take his call if he treated Sam like trash in high school?

• wait if Josh is going to a bachelor party this has to be when he passes out in his office right before he has to meet Joey Lucas

• Donna asking Josh if there’s gonna be strippers lmao she’s lowkey jealous

“No. Men don’t like that anymore.”

“Men don’t like naked women anymore?”

• Josh just told Sam “just stay in the boat this time” honestly Sam would fall out of a boat lol

• if Sam had just left his office 5 seconds earlier he wouldn’t have heard the phone call

• wait the prisoner they wanna execute was convicted of killing 2 drug kingpins? I never noticed that before

• I don’t think that’s true about not executing people on the sabbath (at least unless they have a religious reason) but what do I know

• and there’s Josh snoring on the floor 😂

• ...does he have uh...woman’s underwear around his neck?

• “Why didn’t you go home?”

Josh:

Donna:

Josh:

Josh: ……what?

Sjsjajjsajka

• “Are you gonna listen to me from now on?

“I’m not even listening to you now.”

“I SAID ARE YOU GONNA LISTEN TO ME...

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

• Bartlet lecturing/quizzing CJ about the fjords through the whole plane ride

“I’m back in America now. I have rights.” Lol I love CJ

• oh god I’m watching the sopranos for the first time and I think Toby’s rabbi is one of the gang members (or was cause he was killed)

• “You idiot! I’m. Joey. Lucas!!”

• Josh standing up in the fisherman outfit akdjshsh

• “Lincoln.”

“Abraham?”

“No Bert Lincoln.”

• “There is absolutely no way you’re gonna see the President!”

“Hey Josh.”

“...Hello Mr. President. Welcome back.”

The timing of that is too on point but it’s still funny

• Bartlet only invited Joey Lucas into the Oval because he’s preoccupied about the death penalty and wanted to talk to other people about their perspectives

• “For all I know that thinking reflected the best wisdom of its time. But it’s just plain wrong by any modern standard.”

I think this is a good quote for the culture we live in today.

• aw that picture on CJs desk of her and her brothers when she was little is actually Allison Janney and her brothers

• lol do staff members actually yell like this at each other in the hallways?

• I feel like I should say something serious and profound about death and religion and all that but I got nothing. I’ve definitley talked about it in my previous recaps of this episode though so if you click on the tag for this episode on my blog I’m sure it’ll pop up somewhere. I’ll just say I don’t support the death penalty, not because I’m against the act itself (I personally do think some crimes deserve it) but because it’s not a deterrent to crime and it’s more expensive to put someone to death than just incarcerate them for life.

why do you think kyman is so popular? (ew)

okay so this has been sitting in my inbox for about a week or so now and i really just need to answer it and get it over with. really i think this is the most i’m ever going to say at length about kyman so here we go. also i’ve been drinking a little so i apologize in advance if my thoughts aren’t as cohesive as they could be lmao

to answer the initial question, i honestly have no idea. i have a few theories, but no real concrete answer as to why kyman as a ship is so popular; i’m speaking as someone who has had an intimate awareness of this fandom from the time i was ten, which is literally half of my life. i can’t recall kyman being a big ship, or even one of the more common rare-pairs 10 years ago – back then the major ships were style, creek, and k2 (almost pretty much in that order).

kyman, as i know it and have observed it since i’ve re-familiarized myself with the show and its fandom, is more a development that’s largely happened within the past five years and i think the main contributor to this is that, within that same time period, there’s been a noticeable shift with how kyle and cartman’s dynamic has been written; in the beginning seasons, kyle and cartman are shown to equally despise each other. the cartman of seasons 1-4 isn’t exactly the cartman we know now – he started off as kind of a stereotypical fat little neighborhood bully, but he’s always been narcissistic, racist, selfish etc. just not to the same extent he is now. and back then, kyle and cartman interact as enemies would; they argue and fight constantly, openly express their disdain for each other to anyone who will listen, and actively conspire against the other. kyle and cartman were direct foils to each other.

this has changed in the recent past. cartman and kyle aren’t really considered enemies anymore, but instead as rivals which i think is an important thing to note. now, they’re even occasionally on the same side of a conflict or event (such as tfbw). there has been a lot of focus in the past five or six seasons in the ways kyle and cartman are similar; they’re both temperamental and very angry people, incredibly competitive, both very driven and committed when they set their mind to something. kyle, to a lesser degree, also shares one of cartman’s worst traits; they’re both over-reactive and allow themselves to think the world is out to get them. obviously – and i cannot stress this enough – kyle has in no way the victim complex cartman has, but it is there nonetheless. the running theme with season 21 has been self-victimization, and while i don’t entirely agree with their idea that the potential destructive effects of habitual othering and alienation is, like, a concept of personal responsibility or individual desire to be a victim, other than heidi, kyle is a great example of this. for the last three seasons kyle has been the whipping boy in that no one wants his speeches, no one wants his moral lesson; no one wants his opinion. and kyle indirectly and without meaning to spearheads canada being bombed because he allows his emotions to dictate his action. there’s too many instances of cartman doing this exact thing with obvious malicious intent, but “the list” is another notable episode where kyle does the same thing; he feels slighted and estranged when everyone thinks he’s ugly, and instead of listening to reason from either stan or abraham lincoln, he decides the best choice of action is to burn down the school. my point is, kyle and cartman share quite a few personality traits and their interactions in recent seasons tend to highlight and expand on this rather than to treat them as divisive, opposite characters.

they’ve done a lot more as well to show that kyle, unlike his very early characterization in-series where he couldn’t give less of a shit if cartman died, now cares for him on – at the very least– a humanistic level. whereas kenny and stan are still mostly indifferent to cartman and what happens to him, kyle now often objects to directly conspiring to hurt or let cartman put himself in danger, even if he still despises him as a person. this started around season 8 or so with “up the down steroid” and i think this quote from kyle when he goes to cartman’s house best sums up what i’m talking about:

“I know that I often have serious moral objections to the things that you do, but… this time I think you really need to reconsider. Because if you do this, I believe you will go to hell. So I feel it is my responsibility, as your friend, to tell people what you’re doing, and to put a stop to it.”

kyle’s constant drive to put a stop to cartman’s increasingly deranged and morally depraved antics are largely driven by a dedication to his ethics, yes, but this also shows that kyle does consider cartman a friend and objects to his behavior as such because he cares about what happens to him despite kyle routinely being repulsed and disgusted by who cartman is. he also is the only one to initially object to destroying cartman’s stuff in season 20, even though kyle is cartman’s most vocal and frequent critic, and is also shown to feel an inordinate amount of guilt than the other boys comparatively; this is a combination of kyle’s generally guilty personality as well as remorse for having done something to hurt a friend. there’s also the jewpacabra episode where, even after being pathologically belittled again for the millionth time on the basis of his being jewish by cartman, kyle still goes out in the middle of the night to unchain cartman, take him home, and put him in his bed. i worry this is beginning to sound like rationalization or even evidence on the kyman ship’s behalf that kyle has feelings for cartman in anyway, because it isn’t; it’s just elaboration on kyle’s character. kyle is a very sympathetic person, and that extends even to someone who he doesn’t like. there are plenty of examples of kyle being absolutely thrilled to see cartman be delivered a comeuppance or get the shit kicked out of him or be proven wrong, and more often than not, kyle genuinely hates cartman – there just are not as many recent examples, which is the time-frame i’m trying to stick to while talking about this ship.

there’s a lot to be said of cartman as a character. like, a lot. he’s incredibly complex, and while it makes him interesting as a character study, it makes him insufferable to watch. he’s always been terrible. that’s his appeal, i think, and what makes him so popular. cartman is the complete and utter embodiment of human id; he has no sense of the world outside himself, no remorse, and acts consistently in his own self-interest with little to deter him. and part of it is satisfying sometimes to see just how far cartman is willing to denigrate himself and others in pursuit of what he wants, because it’s that same morbid desire a normal person might occasionally feel but suppresses because of their conscience – something cartman does not have.

i’d argue, given the inherent chaos and destruction and amorality the universe of south park exists in, that all of the main boys are traumatized to varying degrees. but i don’t think it’s all that controversial to say cartman exhibits the most outward signs of childhood trauma. plenty of people much more observant and intelligent than myself i’m sure have written about this before so i’m going to keep it brief, but a lot of cartman’s behavior can be explained this way. there’s been a few allusions to his having been sexually abused, inappropriate sexual contact with family members, the fact that he wets his bed or cries at night b/c he doesn’t have a dad are all things we learn when he can’t control what he says in “le petit tourette.” his physical and verbal aggression, emotionality, distrust of others, conniving behavior etc. are all common symptoms of adverse childhood experiences. he’s controlling and insecure, and cartman thrives off any and all attention – positive, which he often gets from his mother, or negative, which is usually provided by literally everyone else, especially kyle, which is what i think makes him so infatuated with kyle in that he’s an easy, reliable source to match his own aggression, to feed that desire for attention. unlike what a lot of kyman shippers think, it’s pretty obvious that this is why he goes to such lengths to save kyle in “smug alert”. butters doesn’t fight or push back against cartman the way he does, therefore cartman isn’t receiving the attention or reaction he wants.

there’s also the matter of cartman’s racism and anti-semitism. and to deny that cartman does not possess genuine confidence in his own deluded beliefs, or to excuse it b/c of his age is a major cop-out. he’s had moments where his racial hatred is founded in classic white-supremacist talking points, so he clearly espouses this shit of his own volition. because he’s attracted to power cartman idolizes conservative christian figureheads in pop culture (mel gibson ring a bell to anyone) and authoritarian dictators, of which racism is often a major component of such ideology, and this only emboldens his bigotry. there’s a couple instances in the very early seasons (i’m talking, like, pretty much exclusively 1 and 2) where cartman alludes to his racist tendencies stemming from liane, but i don’t really consider it fair to cling to that as a canonical source b/c one, it’s almost always for shock value as a quick joke, and two, they have since done a complete 180 on liane. they don’t harp on the joke about her being a whore the way they used to, and instead she’s shown to be a single mother who works two jobs and who loves her son unconditionally. but she’s also very lonely, and treats cartman as her friend instead of her son; she has no boundaries set with him and often entertains his schemes or delusions; she’s a classic over-indulging parent. which does a lot of harm without her meaning to.

honestly, the entire relationship between cartman and his mother mostly just makes me sad, especially after the “tsst” episode; it’s the only time we see liane disciplining cartman in a firm but loving way, acting as a parent and not a hostage, and we see, in my opinion, what was the only instance wherein which cartman was capable of any meaningful or permanent change. and it’s all destroyed when liane realizes cesar and her’s relationship was purely professional and nothing more. even in group of moms, liane isn’t really considered one of them. her only friend is cartman, so she defaults to giving in to his every whim b/c she’s terrified of him resenting and leaving her as well. it’s like.. a really tragic situation. but that episode is important as it exemplifies the fact that, unlike the other boys, cartman incapable of change. his transformation is mostly superficial and incredibly short-lived. there’s a lot to be said of the nature of evil – whether some people are born that way, if it’s entirely nature vs. nurture – but cartman is obviously a combination of both; no one who doesn’t have some kind of genetic pre-dispostion to incalculable levels of cruelty and disregard for the suffering of others could plot to have someone’s parents killed, steal their bodies, grind them into chili and feed it to the child of those parents over sixteen dollars.

and this is what makes the cognitive dissonance that surrounds thinking kyman isn’t an abusive ship is astounding to me, because cartman is an inherently abusive person. he is incapable of the vulnerability or the selflessness or the compromise a relationship requires. i mean, christ, we just got an entire season that highlights how he acts within the confines of a romantic relationship with heidi – an entire season of cartman manipulating, gaslighting, and machinating events to have someone he supposedly loves killed or abducted. there’s an argument made pretty often among kyman fans that this wouldn’t happen to kyle, that kyle is capable of fighting back against cartman and would refuse to make himself vulnerable the way heidi did, but i have no idea how someone could says this after “ginger cow.”

kyle is by far the most frequent recipient of the proverbial short stick (passion of the jew, le petit tourette, tonsil trouble, pee, humancentipad, imaginationland, cartman’s incredible gift, etc b/c the list goes on and fucking on) and though cartman is not always the one directly spearheading the events that lead to kyle being put in those situations, he usually is. but the way he treats kyle in ginger cow differs so greatly from past events – a lot of cartman’s mistreatment of kyle can be viewed as him feeling he’s delivering punishment or retribution to a someone who he feels (wrongly) deserves it, but “ginger cow” just really epitomizes cartman’s complete and utter sociopathy. what he does to kyle in that episode is so far beyond mere humiliation; it’s dehumanization. cartman actively derives joy from breaking kyle down as a person, forcing him to be submissive, causing kyle to lose any sense of self. the kicker comes at the end of the episodes when stan’s misguided attempt to help ends up backfiring, but not really, because the prophecy of the red heifer had actually been true all along! yet cartman refuses to tell the truth; kyle’s suffering means nothing. and cartman, in true cartman fashion, makes a snide joke, farts into his hand, dollops whip cream in his palm and smears it in kyle’s face, walking off very satisfied with himself. even thinking about the episode makes me viscerally ill.

i think just as troubling for me is the culture that surrounds people shipping the two of them; there is so, so, so much casual anti-semitism – people who think it’s cute when cartman accosts kyle for being jewish, people who use the word “jew” in a flippant, casual way as if it’s a term of endearment while completely ignoring the historical context of disparagement in a non-jewish person calling someone “a jew.” people who excuse cartman’s anti-semitism, who act like he hasn’t repeatedly been shown to adore hitler and emulate him, going as far as to rally the town behind him to lead in the effort to exterminate the jews and shouting nazi rallying cries. not to mention the fact that not only does there exist any one singular kyman fic centered around kyle being a holocaust victim during world war ii, there are a ton! which is so disgusting and disrespectful and so obviously amoral i can’t believe i just had to type that! and in the same line as fiction, it is so upsetting to me a prominent trend that occurs w kyman fics is cartman basically hatefucking kyle through the entire thing, physically and verbally abuses him and gets off on it, and kyle is this submissive, simpering slave to him – not to mention the plethora of straight up rape/non-con kyman fics. it a lot of either that, or kyle is some conduit for a shitty cartman redemption arc, and. ugh.

anyway, this is the most i’m ever going to say about kyman. the tl;dr version of this is that i think kyman is so popular b/c recent seasons have focused more on amplifying the ways in which kyle and cartman are similar as well as quite a few jokes being made about some weird sexual tension between the two of them. and not to harp on this, but i don’t ship kyman, and i don’t support it or even remotely tolerate it, really. the entire concept of those two together makes me quite literally physically ill lmao.

#i have no idea what to tag this as tbh #south park #kyle broflovski #eric cartman #little tip: if you're a diehard kyman shipper about to come in my inbox let me save you the trouble: don't!#:-)#anonymous

Phil loves to watch dans ass bounce while they fuck

Author’s Note: I couldn’t stop thinking about that big sean song while i wrote this lmao “knew that ass was real when I hit, it bounce back” also when i was trying to type babe i accidentally typed abe and i kept picturing abraham lincoln it was horrid (611 words)

Phil smirked when Dan moaned and arched his back, leaning into the fingers Phil was currently thrusting in and out of his slick hole. “That’s it babe, fuck yourself on my fingers,” he goaded. Dan moaned and nodded, fucking back on Phil’s stilled fingers. “Want you to fuck me, Phil… C’mon I’m ready..”, Dan begged, rolling his eyes slightly at the way Phil’s gaze was transfixed on his ass. “Stop staring and fuck me already,” he complained.

A satisfying crack filled the air as Phil yanked his fingers out of Dan’s hole and spanked him firmly. “Don’t tell me what to do.” He chuckled, grabbing Dan’s thighs and pushing them further apart. “Love this ass, baby. I’m gonna fuck you so hard you regret begging for it.”

Dan wiggled his hip teasingly and looked back at his boyfriend, “Try me,” he challenged, raising an eyebrow and smiling. Phil shook his head but couldn’t help the smile that was tugging at his lips. He shuffled further forward and settled himself behind Dan, tugging his pants off and stroking his cock quickly with his still slick hand before lining himself up with Dan’s rim and thrusting in.

Barely giving the younger boy any time to adjust to the large stretch, Phil started pounding into him, one hand on his hip and the other between his shoulder blades pushing him down against the bed. “Fuck! Phil!” Dan whined, wiggling until his hand was beneath him and gripping his length, stroking himself in time with Phil’s thrusts. “That’s good. Touch yourself for me, Dan. Make yourself come on my cock.”

Phil ran a hand down the boy’s back and refocused his gaze on Dan’s ass, his eyes traveling from where his cock was pounding in and out to where it was bouncing and jiggling every time Phil’s hips slammed into him. This was pretty much his favorite part of fucking Dan. The way his boyfriend’s ass jiggled and he clenched around him, the way he would occasionally look back at Phil with that faux innocent smile, teasing him with his eyes until a particularly hard thrust made his expression crumple back into lust. He loved that.

“Gonna come, Phil.. Oh my god…”, Dan moaned, moving his hand rapidly over his cock and rocking back into every one of Phil’s thrusts. “Come for me then. You know I won’t stop though,” he reminded, knowing that would just push Dan even closer to the edge. He was right. Dan whimpered at the thought of Phil fucking into him long after he was finished, holding him in place and ignoring his pathetic noises as the man’s cock brushed his spot.

“Fuck- fuck! Ahh.. -Phil!”, Dan babbled, coming over his hand and squirming in Phil’s grip. He kept a hand on himself until it was too much and then collapsed into the bed, his hips being held up by Phil while the man continued to fuck him. “Good boy, Dan,” Phil praised, panting and nearing the edge himself.

Dan was now letting out strained whines that sounded arousingly close to sobs as Phil fucked him, and he turned his head to watched as Phil gripped his hips even tighter than before and stilled, coming into his waiting hole. “Shit..”, he swore, fucking into Dan through his orgasm before pulling out and sighing, running his hands soothingly down the back of the boy’s thighs.

Dan crumpled into a sleepy pile on the bed and whined a bit as Phil huffed out a laugh and teased him, “Do you regret begging now?”

Dan assessed the pain that was begging to settle in his back and ass. “Not even a little bit.”

Animatronic Donald Trump Joins Disney's Hall Of Presidents & Twitter Is Freaking Out!

On Tuesday, Walt Disney World debuted an animatronic version of POTUS at the Hall of Presidents attraction at Magic Kingdom -- and Twitter has gone wild with reactions!

In the video, the robotic version of Trump sits between former presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Abraham Lincoln, and is introduced by none other than George Washington. TBH, robot Trump gave more of an inspiring speech than Donald ever has.

Animatronic Donald Trump Joins Disney's Hall Of Presidents & Twitter Is Freaking Out!
