In From the Cold

Hey @mimogene, I’m your @mlsecretsanta!! I heard that you love Marichat and so I whipped up some Marichat friendship fluff for ya!! Happy holidays <3

AO3

_____________________________

Marinette stood, foot tapping lightly on the cold kitchen floor as she finished adjusting her robe and folded her arms. She stared a bit aimlessly at her oven as it hummed away with the flickering flame inside illuminating her perfectly organized sheet of cookie dough clumps. This was the most she could think to do in her current situation, for better or worse.

To say this Christmas Eve had been quiet would be a bit of an understatement. No schoolwork to do, no bakery to run thanks to a family vacation, not even any sort of Akuma made an appearance this evening. The silent night was nice, for sure, but after a few years spending the holidays surrounded by some form of busy work, it was a bit...odd.

It certainly wasn’t how she was expecting to spend her first Christmas alone, anyway. A seasonal cold had kept her from tagging along on a trip to see family and friends in Shanghai, and a lack of staff meant the bakery would be closed until after the holidays. So here she was, alone in her dimly lit house with little else to do than bake a few sheets of cookies while snow and wind whipped at the walls.

She wasn’t necessarily going to complain about her situation, though. After all, there were probably worse ways to spend the holidays than filling your home with the scent of various kinds of fresh cookies. It was more that something just felt amiss after the last few years of noise, that it almost felt wrong to have a quiet night entirely to herself after so long.

With her family some five thousand miles away, however, there weren’t exactly a lot of options otherwise. She definitely wasn’t about to hope for an Akuma attack, and ruling that out left her with little else beyond seeing if anyone had a spare stocking on the wall.

Even if she did such a thing, would it be rude? Alya always said that she’d have a spot with her family if she wanted or needed it, and Nino had expressed similar sentiments. The idea of going to Adrien’s and spending not only Christmas Eve with him, but Christmas day too, was nice even if it wasn’t exactly realistic.

Somewhat mindlessly, she started pulling her phone out of her pocket and scrolled through her contacts. There was next to no chance that she’d end up at Adrien’s, but that didn’t stop her thumb from hovering over his number for a few extra seconds. She didn’t quite consider herself close enough to Nino to risk barging in on his family’s Christmas, so she moved back up towards Alya.

Maybe she should just be content with her quiet night. That’s what caused some further hesitation as she stared down at the pixelated image of her best friend. Her parents had even left her gifts under the tree already, so she could spend the next day unwrapping whatever she’d gotten and watching cheesy Christmas movies.

Marinette tilted her head to the side and hummed in further thought. Something about opening gifts alone seemed hollow, even if she was given the okay to do so. Much like the night at hand, the idea didn’t feel quite right. So her attention went back to her phone and her thumb soon tapped on Alya’s contact.

Swallowing whatever nerves came with trying to form a last minute text message, Marinette typed away on her phone. She explained her situation and tried to frame things in the most positive light she could. A brief hum followed as she read over her words again and, dissatisfied with the outcome, she started to erase it and started again.

This time, she worded things somewhat better. It was certainly important to note that the worst of her cold had passed, as was mentioning that this was a one time thing. She certainly hoped it would be, at least. A new and somewhat improved message flowed from her fingertips and onto the screen.

Then, she hesitated, again. This was a much more difficult task than she would have imagined. Tapping the backspace button, the letters disappeared as she took a deep inhale and readied herself to try again. Rather than dumping the entire situation in one message, she figured an icebreaker of sorts would help.

“Hey, girl! Hope you’re staying warm tonight!” Her fingers wrote, briefly wondering if the exclamation points weren’t a bit overkill. “I have a question I need to ask if you’re not too busy or anything. It’s fine if you are, though! No worries <3”

She exhaled and pressed send. A few seconds passed before it actually sent, but with that she set her phone down on the counter behind her and leaned back. It wasn’t like she was against spending the holidays with her best friend or anything, quite the opposite in fact. It was more that she was still apprehensive about possibly dropping in like this, but maybe-

Marinette’s thought train suddenly came to a halt as the loud noise of something crashing erupted somewhere nearby. Her eyes rolled around some in an attempt to trace the noise as she moved quickly through her kitchen. She glanced out the nearest window to assess the situation.

Nothing seemed amiss from what she could see, everything seemed to be in order. Snow was still pounding down and the wind was still whipping. A few cars passed by and there even seemed to be a set of carolers on the sidewalk.

She stared out for a bit longer to see if perhaps it was something hidden. There’d been more than a few stealthy Akuma, after all. Nothing changed, however, and with no one outside reacting to anything whatsoever, that left her with only one other idea.

It came from her roof.

Quickly, she turned the dial on her oven down and made for the staircase. A mental checklist flew through her mind as she tried to figure out what she might have felt outside. Her sun chair had been indoors since winter started, as were her potted plants. She didn’t think it was windy enough for her tea table to have blown away, so she couldn’t be sure.

Still, she was pretty certain that’s where the noise came from, and continued trying to figure out what it could have been on her way through her bedroom. Aside from something blowing over from another house, nothing seemed to fit the bill. She let out a hum while climbing over her bed and moving up her ladder before briefly stopping just before reaching the trapdoor.

Marinette cocked an eyebrow at the sound of further clattering on her balcony and cautiously peeked through the hatch. Slowly, her eyes roamed the area from one side until she spotted the culprit. Or at least, roughly half of the culprit, considering the other half was covered in the slight mound of snow that had accumulated throughout the day.

“Chat Noir?” She questioned aloud, staring at the bottom half of a leather-clad figure with a belt tail she found herself hoping actually was her costumed partner.

Said belt tail twitched as the person shifted around and attempted to dig themselves out of the snow. With one sudden push, the pile disappeared and in its place stood a snowy Chat Noir.

“Guess I missed the chimney.” He said, dusting the powder off. Marinette did not have a chimney.

The wind calmed around them for the time being as a slight silence befell the balcony. He merely stood brushing himself off, while she popped her head further out the hatch and continued trying to process what was going on.

“You, uh,” Marinette cleared her throat and stepped onto the balcony. “You okay?”

“Oh, yeah, yep!” Chat smiled widely. He even gave her a thumbs up for good measure, the ears on his head flicking some remaining snow off.

“You sure? It sounded like you fell.” She flatly stated. Admittedly, it was hard to know how to react to a situation like this. It was almost surprising that it hadn’t happened before.

“Uh, well…I kinda did.” He leaned down to collect his baton, something he might have done to hide some sort of embarrassment. “Guess Santa Paws hit an ice patch or something and just sorta slipped, it is pretty hard to see right now, y’know?”

“Right.” Marinette flatly said as she nodded along slowly. “Speaking of, can I ask...why you’re out? Is there an Akuma around?”

“No.” Chat replied. “Er, not that I know of. Not yet. That’s actually why I was out! I was doing a patrol around the city to see if any supervillains were around.”

Marinette’s eyebrow raised.

“All alone in the middle of the night?”

He stammered for a moment, obviously a bit flustered. The fall must have done more damage to his pride than anything else, she figured.

“Well, yeah.” Chat answered, flashing a few teeth behind an exaggerated grin. “You never know when or where they might crop up, after all. Better safe than sorry!”

Marnette didn’t know what to say. It’s not that he was necessarily wrong, and they had been doing the occasional patrol over the last few months, but they usually did them together. Or rather, he would patrol with Ladybug. So his running around the city alone definitely seemed odd.

“And Ladybug’s...home sick?” She stifled a slight chuckle at how clever she felt. All things considered, she’d know if he was telling the truth here or not, even if she couldn’t exactly out him if he wasn’t.

Her question seemed to cause him to freeze up somewhat, though, an unexpected reaction. There was some low mumbling she didn’t quite hear and a few gestures of his hands, but he didn’t manage to give a straight answer after what felt like a good minute or so. She knew him well enough to know something was definitely off.

“Hey,” Marinette took the few steps needed to close the gap between them. Her hand cautiously reached for his shoulder and stopped his muttering. “Is everything okay?”

Chat chewed the inside of his mouth for a moment. His eyes avoided hers, instead focusing on the ground while he attempted to formulate a reply.

“I, uh...don’t wanna get too heavy on you or anything.” He said.

She was just a civilian, after all.

“It’s okay.” Marinette replied. Hard to shut those Ladybug instincts down with her snow-covered partner taking up residency on her balcony while clearly in some form of distress. Still, she had to make sure she wasn’t coming across as too eager. “I mean, I’m not gonna pry or anything, but I don’t mind listening.”

Chat mulled it over for a bit. Sure, he knew who Marinette was and trusted her almost as much as he did Ladybug, but Chat Noir didn’t. At least, not after the scant few interactions they’d had over the years. Maybe it’d be easier without the leather, though that wasn’t much of an option.

Still, the offer of an otherwise friendly ear was extremely tempting at the moment. Especially after plummeting however many feet through the Parisian sky.

“Without getting into the details,” He started after an inhale. “Christmas has been...kind of a rough time for me over the last few years. There’s been some good ones and everything, but sometimes it just...gets to me.”

Marinette nodded, adjusting her robe some. The wind started whipping up again, sending flakes of snow flying all around them as she realized just how cold it was.

“Er, hey, not to make this any weirder,” She spoke up, wishing she opted for the sweater over the t-shirt she picked. “But it’s pretty cold up here, so...would you mind if we take this inside?”

“Oh, uh, sure.” Chat replied a bit quicker than he might have intended. The super suit offered him some protection from the elements, but even he noticed just how cold it had gotten. He tapped the metal toes of his boots on the floor and then perked up with a question of his own. “Should I go down the hatch, or?”

“Eh,” Marinette gave a slight shrug, eyeing him over. She glanced at the snow caked onto his shoes, likely why he asked in the first place. “I needed to wash my bed stuff soon anyway, so I don’t mind.”

With that, she stepped back and climbed down the ladder with Chat following cautiously behind. Halfway down the ladder, he reached up and nudged the hatch so that it fell shut before hesitantly pressing his boots to her mattress. Marinette snickered some at that while she walked down the steps and waited by her bedroom door.

Chat opted to hop from her bed to the floor, striking an unnecessarily stylish pose as he glanced over at the wall full of posters and pictures of a certain blonde model. He then shot her a smirk from his crouched position and she gave him a light laugh before nodding out the door, a silent instruction for him to follow her through the house. He tapped the tips of his toes on a nearby towel on the floor to try and track as little snow as possible.

Marinette acted as a guide as they made their way through a house he found himself quite familiar with by now. It wasn’t much of a journey as the destination she was leading them to, her kitchen, was just another staircase or so away. He walked through the living room to join her and couldn’t help but smile at how unchanged it was from the last time he’d been here.

“Peanut butter?” He asked after taking a whiff of the oven.

“Yep.” Marinette replied, twisting a dial and opening the door. “Been making cookies all day and that was the last kind I had left. They should be just about done actually.”

“I can get that, if you want.” Chat chimed in, leaning over next to her. Marinette gestured at the appliance and let him go.

He stepped in front of the dimly glowing, and deliciously smelling, chamber and eased a hand inside. Heat radiated off and ran along his face while he swiftly pulled the pan out. Dropping it on the top, Chat flapped his hand around some and blew on it a few times.

“You alright?” Marinette lightly giggled.

“Oh, yeah,” Chat nodded, giving a laugh of his own. “Just...kinda thought it’d be colder.”

Marinette shook her head some and nudged a few cookies that ended up on top of each other after his sudden movements apart. To be entirely fair, she still wasn’t sure what the limit of protection the suits offered was, so this was something of a learning experience for the both of them.

“Alright, well, let’s let those cool for a bit.” She said, moving to her cabinets. “Care for a cup of cocoa?”

He hesitated again, eyes wandering out the window. Marinette could see conflict on his face, even if she wasn’t sure what it was.

“Yeah.” Chat eventually answered. “I’d like that.”

She gave him a shake of her head and retrieved two cups and a large bowl from her cupboard. Then she pulled out some cocoa mix while he took the liberty of getting the milk and whipped cream from her fridge. He poured the milk while she tore open the packets and dumped them in. She used a little extra, just in case either of them wanted more later. A few stirs of a spoon later and the mixture was in the microwave.

“So.” Marinette leaned against her counter. “Still got something on your mind, huh?”

“Oh, uh,” Chat stuttered for a moment as he took a seat at her table. “I guess so, yeah.”

“I’m not gonna push or anything,” Marinette decided to explain her position on the matter, keeping a smile to try and help him be more comfortable. “But I know having someone to talk to can help sometimes, even if they don’t know what to say, and you’ve been around here often enough that I don’t mind.”

“I have, haven’t I?” Chat gave her a smile of his own. It only really just sunk in how frequently he ended up at her house, specifically in the leather. “Can I ask you something first, though?”

“Sure.” She openly agreed.

“Are we...friends, Marinette?”

His question caused a brief silence. A near tension, even, as Marinette thought on it. She didn’t have to ponder the answer all that much, of course they were friends, but it could be a bit difficult to explain why she felt so strongly if he asked. So she tempered herself and gave a direct, if somewhat passive answer.

“I think so, yeah.” Marinette replied as the microwave hummed behind her. “I consider you one, at least.”

Chat smiled at that.

“Thank you.” He cleared his throat and shot her a wink. “Back at’cha.”

“Anyway.” Marinette chuckled, popping the door open with a second left on the clock. She fixed their drinks, complete with spraying the whipped cream he left on the counter, as she waited for his next words.

“Anyway,” Chat picked up. “I guess it’s just kinda hard to explain.”

“Take your time, kitty.” She passed him a drink and briefly froze up after realizing what she’d called him. Not that he seemed to notice.

“Well,” He took a sip and then stared down at the cup. “A few years ago, I...lost someone close to me, and they loved Christmas. They loved most holidays, actually”

“Mhm.” Marinette hummed to assure him she was listening.

“And it’s hard not to think of them sometimes, especially during this time of year.” Chat continued. “Plus, I’m kinda living on my own this year, so it’s just me, y’know?”

“I understand.” She gave him a nod, even if he wasn’t looking.

“But, yeah,” Chat exhaled a breath and decided to be honest. His green gaze met hers again for the first time since she handed him his drink. “Sometimes I just have to...get out, try to clear my head or distract myself, and that’s what I was doing. I...didn’t want to be alone.”

“Oh.” Was what Marinette muttered. Her heart seemed to sink in her chest some, and suddenly it all made sense. “I’m...sorry to hear that, Chat.”

“Yeah…” He mumbled, thumbs tapping the side of his cup before he sat it down on the table behind him. Before another second passed, he stood up and started to turn towards the staircase. “Sorry, I should...I should go.”

“Wait,” Marinette called out. She couldn’t let him leave like that, like this. ”Wait, hold on.”

“No, it’s okay.” Chat gave her a slight wave without even looking at her. “Happy holidays, Marinette.”

“Wait.” Marinette said again. She didn’t even notice she’d dashed through the kitchen and grabbed the cuff around his wrist until she looked up. It must have been something of an instinct at this point, a reflex. “I-I mean, you don’t have to go if you don’t want to.”

“Uh,” Chat blinked for a moment, stammering behind his barely parted lips. From the looks of it, neither of them expected her to grab his arm the way she did. “No, really, it’s okay. Thanks for listening to me and everything, but I don’t wanna ruin your family’s Christmas or anything.

“My parents are on vacation, actually. That’s why the bakery isn’t open” Marinette replied, chuckling some as she stepped up closer to him. “Did you think I was inviting you in for a meal with my family again?”

“No, I just...hadn’t noticed. You did say you've been baking all day, so-” Chat stopped himself for a moment to check his mental calendar. “Wait. It is Christmas Eve, right?”

“Yeah, it is.” Marinette nodded, sitting her cup of cocoa down on the table next to his. “Their flight got delayed a few days because of the storm, I guess, so now instead of making it back tonight they’ll be getting here sometime on Friday.”

“Ah.” Chat swallowed and shook his head some.

“So I guess I’m...kind of alone this Christmas, too.” She added. “And I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to stick around for the night. It’d be nice having an extra set of claws when it comes time to open presents tomorrow, too.”

“That, um,” He paused, glancing around the room. He really hadn’t noticed how quiet it was until now. His hesitation gradually started to fade, along with the remnants of the conflict on his face. While he didn’t want to be invasive, it was hard to turn down an offer that came with as much warmth as the one she was offering.

They were friends, after all.

“That’d be nice.” Chat eventually smiled.

“I certainly hope so.” Marinette gave him a smirk of her own. More than that, she then wrapped her other arm around his form and embraced him in a tight hug.

“Thank you, Marinette.” Chat said after processing what was happening. His own arms curled around her shoulders and snuggled her to his body, a gentle purr emanating from his chest.

Backasswards

solar x reader | idol!yongsun au | smut, light fluff | 2.3 k

warning: profanity, lesbian sex, reader is actually cute af but has their nasty side too so basically park jimin

Yeah, that was your girlfriend dancing to ‘Yummy’ by Justin Bieber.

Now, you do not exactly like that song, but because Yongsun was dancing to it, and she looked absolutely delectable, so who were you to complain. Her well-defined hips were swaying back and forth, body fluidly moving along with the music, hitting every beat possible in the song. Then there was that specific scene in the video where she and Hyojung touching each other on the floor, slowly bringing back memories three nights ago when you and your girlfriend were roughly grinding on each other. You were used to seeing Yongsun wearing revealing clothing since she did pole dancing and all, and from your rather naughty actions, but this specific set of clothes made you bothered in a good way. Very bothered. The white cloth laying above her breasts could easily be removed with a swipe of your hand, only to reveal her dusty pink nipples, begging to be sucked by your plump lips. Her flawless skin, almost yearning for you to paint it with your teeth, leaving purple and red flowers to be scattered across. Various unspeakable scenes ran through your mind, and to say that you were not wet would be a lie. You were needy. Very needy. You needed relief. You want her to be home, help you reach your high. She was at the studio though. Although she told you she will come back at seven in the evening, you doubt if you could make it in the next two hours.

Your hands slid underneath your sweats, only to feel the damp patch in between your legs, immediately causing you to let out the dirtiest sounds. The little nub was easily found in between your fingers, and you begin to imagine it was your girlfriend’s hands putting you back to your place by torturing that little clit of yours. You knew you were not suppose to touch yourself, Yongsun just does not like it knowing she can bring you to pleasure so many times. Then again, you were an actual brat, and you liked to test her patience. Yes, you are the submissive one in the relationship, but can you really blame yourself when you girlfriend was moving her body like that? A smirk slowly formed on your lips, knowing exactly what to do to make your girlfriend come home quicker. You retrieved your hand, pushing the grey sweats and panties down your legs. You immediately stripped off your tank top, leaving you only in a silk coral bra as the cold air brushed against your bare hole. You took your phone, snapping a picture of yourself as your spread your glistening folds, one of the straps of your bra falling off your shoulder.

Click.

Like an excited little child, you quickly sent the picture to your girlfriend, eager to wait for her response with your imagination thinking all sorts of possibilities.

Ding.

Squirtle: Film yourself. Go touch yourself for me bby.

What?

That was the last thing you expected to come out of her. She was supposed to be angry. She was supposed to be furious with you. Then again, you still complied with her request, submitting to her as usual. Without hesitation, you placed your phone against your piled up sheets, showing your bare state clearly, you hot cavern being the centre of attention. Pressing the red button, your hands naturally slid down your torso, touching the little nub so gently, yet the pleasure was immense. Your hands gradually moved quicker, increasing the speed of your hands against your clit, your damp chest heaving up and down as soft whimpers left your swollen lips from all the biting you did. Your free hand pulled one of the cups down, exposing your breast that was begging to escape from the clothed material.

‘Y-Yongsun’ you softly moaned as your slowly entered your damp fingers in your hot cavity, your tender walls hugging your two fingers tightly. A sigh of relief escaped your throat, your fingers eventually having a mind of its own, furiously pumping in and out of your hole. Your eyes were closed, your brain only thinking of your girlfriend, thinking of all sorts of things, or punishments per se. Maybe she will deny your orgasm multiple times with her slender fingers, or her warm tongue, or perhaps her core rubbing against yours harshly as her fingers wrap around your throat, reminding you where you belong in the relationship. A knot slowly began to form in your lower abdomen, your hips unconsciously rising, meeting each and every thrust of your fingers. Your mind drifted back to the video of Yongsun dancing to the arguably crappy song, but most importantly, your mind focused on her attire and how her body swayed to the music, enough to bring you to your climax. In an instant, a high pitched moan left your mouth, your legs trembling vigorously as your chest was heaving heavily, trying to breathe in and out. Your eyes reopened, your phone still filming the filthiest shit you have done so far, yet you did not mind it. You pulled your fingers out of your greedy little hole, whining in annoyance that you were not full anymore. There was nothing else to see except for the sticky essence left all of your fingers, begging to be cleaned off. Going closer to the camera, your brought your ruined fingers up to your mouth, making the most lewd sounds as you taste your own release, eyes staring directly into the camera; and finally, you stopped the video.

Smiling like a complete idiot, you sent the video immediately to Yongsun without cropping it whatsoever, wanting her to see everything raw. But as of now, you wait.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yongsun had just finished filming with an English teacher for her YouTube channel, which was doing rather great. Yongsun knew you were very supportive of her channel, and she was honestly very happy with your reaction. After saying her goodbyes to the crew, she reached for her phone to ask you if you wanted anything before she reached home, just like she always did.

homo girlfriend has sent an attachment.

Tilting her head slightly, she innocently tapped on the attachment, not knowing what you send.

You were fucking naked. You were extremely wet. What the fuck.

She did not know what exactly to feel. Of course, a rush of warmth was felt between her legs, but was she going to punish you? Yongsun had a long day today, and she really just wanted to have some food with you and sleep. That may not be the plan anymore though. Smirking, she messaged you to send a video of you touching yourself. Just to make things more heated the moment your girlfriend finally reaches home.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

‘Alright, your ass better be in bed’ a familiar voice said, soon followed by the sound of the door closing. Smiling like a fool, you immediately prepared yourself on your shared bed, fully bare from head to toe. Yongsun did not say anything after you sent that video, and that honestly made you quite nervous. If not, you felt a sense of regret. You are usually not the type to send such provocative images or clips to Yongsun mainly because she tells you not to as she is in charge of the bedroom. Aside from that, you also sometimes feel that your privacy may be invaded because who knows, perhaps the government in watching you. You getting off by your fingers may not be the first thing your personal FBI wants to see. Before you can think of anything else that can possibly ruin the mood with your theory on the lack of privacy in the modern world, your girlfriend was there your shared room in a black cropped top and low raise jeans, clearly showcasing her toned stomach.

‘My, my, and here you are naked. Though, I was sort of expecting that. You were very needy today, huh?’ She asked, slowly coming towards your naked body. Looking up at your girlfriend with big puppy eyes, you nodded eagerly in response, ready to receive whatever punishment she had in mind with you. Yongsun just chuckled at your state. She literally could do anything right now, and you would most likely comply to her.

‘I honestly would have be spanking you right now, and I know how much you love that, but I am quite tired today. Your little picture and video made me very horny you know. Anyways, I want you to sit on my face while you finger me, can you do that for me babe?’ She asks, finally sitting on top of your naked form, your eyes directly meeting each other. You rubbed your inner thighs against each other, whispering a yes against your girlfriend’s pink lips. Yongsun smiled, finally closing the gap between your lips, tasting each other for the first time today. Your lips naturally melted against hers, the heat between the two of you further intensifying. Your hands dragged down her upper body until the end of her top, lifting it up to reveal those breasts that you were begging to see and taste from that dance video. As if Yongsun read your mind, her lips left yours, standing up as she removes her clothes, leaving her equally bare as you are.

‘Alright enough of that, now come here’ she says, laying down on the spot beside you, licking her bottom lip, anticipating to taste you. You smiled at your girlfriend, finding it somewhat adorable that even after breaking her rules, she still wants to treat you. Sitting up, you faced backwards, giving Yongsun a full view of your back side, slowly placing your left thigh on the other side of her face as your hot cavern is right above her. Without hesitation, your blonde girlfriend pulled you down, her warm velvet immediately making contact with your glistening folds.

‘Oh fuck’ you moaned, feeling every single detail of her tongue playing against your most core. Your hands reached for her breasts, slightly pulling her nipples as you know she likes it. Your moans grew louder and louder as her warm tongue eventually paid attention to your sensitive nub. Yongsun placed your clit between her lips, slightly sucking the little bundle of nerves, causing you to fall down against her torso from the immense pleasure rushing through your already fragile body. Remembering what Yongsun wanted from you, you licked three of your fingers despite your constant whines and moans. Slipping one finger between her wet folds, you felt Yongsun froze against you, shortly followed by a small moan. Smirking, you bent down between her legs, giving kitty licks to her pink nub, only causing her to moan against your pink lips. You added another finger in her hole, pumping more vigorously than before, causing more vibrations against your clit. Both of you were a moaning mess, very soon to reaching your peak.

‘F-fuck keep going Y/N, you can add one more finger babe’ she says, immediately burying her face back into your wet folds, fucking your drenched pussy with her tongue, tasting every single inch of you. Your legs gradually began to shake, a tight knot ready to be untied in your lower abdomen. Removing your lips from her sensitive nub, you began to pump three fingers into her warm walls; the only thing that can be heard is the wet noises from Yongsun’s greedy hole, and the two of your moans blended, rebounding against the four walls of your room.

‘Shit Yongsun I think I’m coming!’ You scream, trying your best to focus on pleasuring your girlfriend. She only deepened her tongue inside of you, and further amplified the pleasure by furiously rubbing your bundle of nerves, enough for you to fall apart. In an instant, you kept your fingers deep inside of her velvety walls as a loud moan erupted from your throat, legs shaking uncontrollably as you slowly moved back and forth against her face. Her tongue lapped up every bit of your sweet essence, enjoying the warm stickiness of your release on the palette of her tongue. Taking a deep breath, as well as realising Yongsun was literally right under you, you quickly got off of her, only to see her lips and chin fully drenched due to your wetness. Yongsun looked at you lovingly, enjoying your fucked out state; your cheeks were flushed, your hair was slightly messy, and your eyes were glossy—you were beautiful and sexy in her eyes.

‘You always taste so good against me’ she says, grabbing her own breasts, one in each hand, as she bites her bottom lip.

‘You know the “Yummy” dance video you did?’ You asked quietly, meticulously watching how her fingers unconsciously pulled her own brown tips.

‘Yeah? Though not gonna lie, I really don’t like that song. The video came out better than I thought though. Why?’ She questions, looking over at your direction.

‘Well, I sort of found it really hot and that’s one of the reasons to why I sort of went haywire and sent you... that’ you confessed, looking down at your lap, unsure of how she will react to it. She instead laughed at your reasoning, finding it quite adorable to how you confessed to why you sent those pictures.

‘Aww Y/N, you can send me anything you want at any time, even if it is a sexy picture or video of you. I miss you all the time with my hectic schedule, so I really don’t mind. I am glad you liked the video though’ she laughs as she responds, waiting to see your flushed face. You smiled at her, glad to know that she still loves and respects you even after your rather naughty actions. Looking back at your girlfriend, she was still playing with her breasts, and you had no idea if she was doing it deliberately.

‘Yongsun?’

‘Yes?’

‘Can I suck your boobs and make you come on my thigh?’ You asked before it was too late. Yongsun smiled at your offer, immediately sitting up from the soft mattress underneath the two of you. It was going to be one long fucking night. Literally.

NEW -Photographer (to me)

In carrying out an internet search for new photographers, I was quite surprised (maybe I shouldn’t have been?) about the number of times particular photographers’ names crop up time and again across a number of genres of photography, e.g. portrait and self-portrait photography, contemporary photographers, etc. Cindy Sherman has come up in at least three different searches I’ve carried out, this time named in Elena Martinique’s Widewalls article of May 15 2016, entitled “These are the Ten of the Best Portrait Photographers Today”.

Along with Cindy Sherman, another notable artist Sally Mann was included in that list as well as possibly lesser known photographers such as Danny Lyon, Philip Lorca DiCorcia and Larry Fink. I say possibly lesser known, but I honestly have no idea if that comment has any validity whatsoever. I have recently started to try to learn about photography and photographers: I have no concept of how much I don’t know. I had previously heard of Cindy Sherman only because she was one of the photographers whose works were being exhibited at the Edinburgh Stills gallery and visited by the HND students. So by rights I could pick just about any of the above photographers to write about, as they are all “New” to me.

The Widewalls article described Philip-Lorca diCorcia as a “cinematic” photographer, which intrigued me from the outset. I have enjoyed so many movies’ cinematography that just looks to have been shot by a photographer’s eye. (For me, the most recent outstanding example has to be “Roma”, directed by Alfonso Cuaron).

The photograph by diCorcia presented in the article that interested me is shown below.

The image to me appears both staged and natural at the same time. I’d certainly go along with the “cinematic” description, as it could easily be a still from a movie, and there is a story to be told. (What’s a black guy doing shirtless in a supermarket shopping mall car park? (Reminded me of Michael Douglas’ character in the film “Falling Down”, after he “lost it”). The scene is lit from high-up on the right hand side of the photograph, and could be (but probably isn’t!) just lit by the parking lot streetlamp.

The Widewalls article gave quite a lot of detail about Philip Lorca DiCorcia and noted that he is renowned “for his evocative photographs of figures and street scenes, which combine both documentary and conceptual elements of photography”. He was born in 1951, in Hartford, Connecticut, in the USA, and studied photography at the University of Hartford in the 1970s, and later at Boston’s School of the Museum of Fine Arts. He then studied at Yale University and in 1979, attained his Master of Fine Art degree in photography. At Yale, diCorcia photographed friends and family in shots that appear completely candid, but in actuality involved hours of staging and elaborate lighting techniques to blur the lines between the everyday and the fabricated.

In later works, according to the website https://www.famousphotographers.net, he started taking pictures of random individuals in urban places worldwide, such as Calcutta, New York, Tokyo, Rome, Hollywood and Berlin. He often hid the lights in the roadway to illuminate a subject in a unique way, separating them from other street people. He then captured accidental poses, unintended facial expressions and movements, with a sense of drama. he photographed crowds on the streets of cities, from New York and Paris to Tokyo, placing flashbulbs at several places around a site and then waiting for the ideal moment to capture a photograph of an unknowing group, again mixing artificiality and theatricality with the spontaneous and candid. In recent series, he has focused on subjects ranging from pole dancers to New York’s urban metropolis, examining constructions of identity, reality, and artifice in his work.

After searching out the “Philip Lorca DiCorcia” book of his works in CoGC library (published by Kerber Photo Art), I was surprised to see the above photograph that had initially intrigued me reproduced as part of the artist’s “Hustler” series, where each photograph was accompanied by the subject’s name, age, hometown and a sum of money listed (somewhere between $20-$50). Interestingly, the Widewalls and the Famousphotographers websites differ on their description of what this sum of money is – in the former, it’s the money DiCorcia paid the subject to pose for him, but in the latter, it’s what each subject charges, working a male prostitute, to “turn a trick”. I had a mental shift on reading this – my cinematic reference of “Falling Down” sheared to “Midnight Cowboy” one of the all-time cinema classics directed by John Schlesinger in his first US movie after moving there from Europe in the 1960s.

The subject matter in this series is bleak, and could be described as gritty realism at its grittiest. In 1989, Philip-Lorca diCorcia started to work on his project, Hustlers, with the help of $45,000 fellowship granted to him by National Endowment for the Arts. The series was shot between 1990 and 1992, during several visits to Los Angeles five times in order to photograph Hollywood male escorts. Initially, he took pictures of the male prostitutes inside motels, and later he moved the setting to streets. In 1993, 25 photos from this project were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (Manhattan, New York).

I’m not sure what to make of diCorcia’s above choice of subject matter- is it some form of social commentary? (would these guys do what they do if they could get a job that would allow them to live more conventional lives) – is it a chronicle of the underbelly of society, or a chronicle of failed Hollywood dreams (did these guys want to be actors?). The movie “Midnight Cowboy” was a fiction, and the viewer could ultimately take comfort in that, but diCorcia’s work offers no such refuge.

DiCorcia is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, among other honors, and has held solo exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre National de la Photographie in Paris, and the Reina Sofía in Madrid.

In addition to pursuing his own work, diCorcia worked as a commercial photographer throughout the 1980s, creating spreads for publications including Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, and Harper’s Bazaar.

NATALIE’S TUTORIALS: 002 - IMAGE BACKGROUNDS

In this tutorial, I will be explaining how you can crop the background of your images and make them all the same matching colour. Here are some examples of what you should be able to achieve by the end of this tutorial: x x x

Please let me know if you experience any problems / notice any mistakes and I will try and help you / correct them.

- requested by @mollyprewett

Before we start, it's important to mention that I will be using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. If you are using a more recent version then this should all still work (although I can't promise that for older versions).

Also, if you need any guidance on how to find the right images, feel free to read my guide on obtaining images.

STEP ONE: Setting Up

Okay so really, this is easiest when the background of your image is one solid colour, but it's possible to do for any image whatsoever if you're patient enough. Please also note that there are many different methods to doing this, and I will just be describing my own personal method. First of all, you will need to set everything up. What I like to do is import all of my images as layers in one PSD. This makes it easier to edit them all so that they look the same. So, paste your images on top of each other and then delete the background layer. If you're making a moodboard, you need to have at least nine layers. Then, normally there is one image that looks like it would be impossible to remove the background from it - normally the one with text, because text is so awkward and fiddly. For example, in this moodboard, I knew that the centre image would be the most difficult to edit the background of. The white text was tiny and it would take the most time and patience. So I decided to use the background of that image and apply it to all the other images. So, the most important part of step one is to identify the most problematic / impossible image and grab the background colour from it. You can do this by using the Eyedropper Tool (see image below). You will need to make sure that you have the current layer selected or this may not work.

STEP TWO: Selecting the Background

In the image above, I have highlighted all the tools you will need to use. In this stage, we will be focusing on the Quick Selection Tool. Clicking on this tool should hopefully bring up a panel that looks similar (if not the same) as the bar at the top of mine. It will include the functions to select / deselect / define the brush size and refine the edge. First of all, though, we are going to be focusing on just selecting that background. Depending on the current background of your image, this could either be easy or difficult. The easiest images to do this with are ones with solid colour backgrounds and bold outlined shapes. It becomes far more difficult when you are working with text, faded colours, images with faded outlines, texturised backgrounds, and shadows (to name a few). For example, the image I am using in this tutorial is going to make my life very easy - it has a solid white background and the shape I'm trying to crop has a nice outline in a solid bold black. Here are some images that would be a bit more difficult though:

this image is difficult because the stars are all faded and it's very difficult to see where some of them end and where the background begins, and the Quick Selection Tool is going to struggle with this, so you would have to do most of it manually

this image will be difficult because of the texturised background - however it shouldn't be too difficult because it has nice strong outlines

Right so, once you've selected the Quick Selection Tool, you need to make sure you're on the select function rather than the deselect function (see above image). Also, make sure your brush size is quite small - the smaller the better to be honest. It might take longer but it's far more likely to be accurate that way. There are then two ways for you to select your background - either clicking or dragging. Both work fine, it's just about figuring out which one you prefer. You can either click your background a few (or a million) times, going around the whole back of it, or you can click once and drag your mouse. The clicking option requires a lot more patience, but it's also more accurate. Hopefully your Quick Selection Tool will eventually recognise the background and select it all. However sometimes Photoshop decides to be a Pain and it will either make you select it a bit at a time, or it will select too much. If it selects too much, and you find that it's now selected your background and half of the image you want to keep, that's when it's time to break out the deselect function. It often helps to zoom in when you're doing this, if you have to do this. Deselecting can be tricky and annoying and it will require a hell of a lot more accuracy and patience. Keep fiddling around with this until you've selected everything but the part of the image you want to keep. Don't worry if it's not perfect. The next step should correct any tiny little splodges of mistakes (as long as they are just tiny). Your end result should look like this:

STEP THREE: Refining the Edge

Now, as you can see, that's not perfect. Some of the black line has been selected and some of it hasn't. To correct this, you need to refine the edge of your selection. If you refer back to the first image I posted detailing all of the tools you will need, you will see a box that I highlighted which says "Refine Edge". You should hopefully be able to click on that now. That will bring up a toolkit that looks like this:

You can also see in that image the settings that I use. I very rarely change these settings. The only one I ever really play around with is the Feather option, which will basically determine how much extra space outside of your selection you will need. I usually leave it as low as possible, but it all depends on how accurate your selection is. A quick piece of advice - if your current image background is a very different colour from the background you're going to try and use, try and make sure that the feather is as small as possible. Play around with these settings until you're happy. You can undo and redo it as many times as you like. Please Note: Your edge will not automatically refine itself everytime you edit. You will always need to open up this dialogue box and you will always need to press "OK" at the end in order to actually refine the edge of your selection. Once you have plugged in the settings and made sure your feathing is sorted, and you've pressed "OK", you will see that your selection is a little different, and it should have spaced out from the edges of your image a little. Now, press the Delete button on your keyboard, and tadaa the background will disappear. However, and this is very important, do not deselect yet. You still have one more step to come and you will need that selection for a bit longer.

STEP FOUR: Colouring Your Background

Now, hopefully you will still have the background colour that you want to use. If you're not sure what colour you've currently got selected, you can always check in your toolbar (see my first image on this post where I have labelled the box that should show your current colour). You will now need to switch to the paintbrush tool. I tend to set my paintbrush so that it's as big as possible, because why not? You will only be able to paint within your current selection anyway. Now, colour. Colour it all, make it that pretty colour that you want. Now you should deselect everything. To do this, right click anywhere within the image and press "Deselect". Sometimes, there will be small things that you need to correct - some bits that are still showing the old background colour, specifically (normally) around the edges of the image you have cropped. For this, make your brush size tiny, zoom in super close, and just quickly but carefully go around these edges and colour them in.

And there you should have it!
