Tumblr media
In his personal life, Leon never wanted to be depended on. That was his job. He didn’t want that stuff following him home. He didn’t want to be tied down, to be responsible for someone like that. People depended on him in Raccoon city and look how that turned out. Every mission he’s been on for the last few years, he’s responsible for someone. It’s exhausting.
But as he nears 30, he starts to look at it differently. An aching sense of isolation grows in his heart. He starts to think about what it would be like having someone, having a companion of some sort. Suddenly, he’s not looking at being relied on as a detriment. Being depended on means having someone to care for, someone to love. There would be someone at the end of long days and the starts of his currently lonesome nights.
That’s how he finds himself with you scampering around his house. The sweetest little thing he’d ever seen. Your long floppy ears, cute little cottontail, those big sweet eyes. From the moment he saw you, he was a sucker for all of it.
A while back he had briefly heard of human-animal hybrids, but he didn’t think much about it. It didn’t really apply to him. If anything, the idea weirded him out a bit.
That was until he started thinking more about his dilemma. It seemed like one of them might be a good solution. He talked to a few people and did some online research and decided to at least look into it. It couldn’t hurt to visit an adoption center right?
He visited the place and was still a little freaked by the whole concept. He walked through the rooms, watching different hybrids move about and mess around. The lady guiding him throughout asked him different questions, trying to decipher what type of hybrid would best fit his needs. But all of her questions were irrelevant as soon as he spotted you.
You were undoubtedly the one. His baby bunny. Not only did he not want any other hybrid, but he didn’t think he could physically leave that place without talking to you at the very least.
He walked over to you cautiously. You kept to yourself, and he could tell from your body language alone how timid you were. He spoke with the softest, most soothing tone he could manage, but you were still so shy.
You’d told him your name so quietly he could barely hear. He didn’t touch you at all, fearing you may cry at something that personal. But he kept talking to you because while others may have found it challenging, he could see you fitting right in with him.
You’d be dependent, sure, but clearly you wouldn’t be overly needy for affection. It would be a good way for him to transition from being alone into having someone.
He kept getting to know you and trying to get through some of your walls. He talked with you about all sorts of things and let you ask your own questions so you could get to know him. By the end of the day, you hesitantly allowed him to stroke your ears.
It was that exact day he told you that he was interested in you coming to live with him. You were still very reserved, but you seemed receptive. You did a little trial run over the course of a week, and just as Leon thought, you were a great fit.
You had grown more comfortable with him in the months since that week even though your core personality hadn’t changed. You were still generally quiet, never asking for much and being appreciative of whatever he gave you. You’d talk with him openly now, mostly responding to him rather than starting conversations but speaking nevertheless. You slept in your own room, but as soon as you woke up, you’d come find him to hang out. It was a nice balance with you.
But Leon still wanted a little more. He would never push it on you, knowing it would make you withdraw again, but he always cherished the moments of progress with you. You warmed up enough that you came around to enjoy cuddling. Leon couldn’t believe how soft he’d become when you curled up to his side and tucked yourself under his arm. The first time you fell asleep in his embrace, he loved it so much he felt chest pains. Once or twice, he’d gotten you to fully sit on his lap, and he couldn’t stop beaming.
He could give you little kisses on your face now, and you’d give him a sweet smile in return that he couldn’t get enough of. You’d never kissed him yourself, but you would nuzzle his cheek in return which was enough to make him happy.
You were just such a sweetheart, a perfect companion for him. You didn’t complain when he had to go to work, but it wasn’t like you didn’t miss him. He could see the way your ears would slump and your eyes would dim as he gathered his stuff and headed for the door. But you also got so happy when he came back. You tried to seem as subdued as possible, but the way you lit up again in his presence was obvious.
The only thing you were still completely closed off about was when you went into heat. Leon understood what it was, he had been nervous about it since bringing you home, but he had no clue about how you dealt with it at all. Every time it happened, you’d shut yourself up in your room for however many days it took, and then return to him as if nothing had happened.
For your sake, he played along. He got the sense it was a touchy subject after bringing up the possibility of getting you some more toys for it and having you immediately shut it down. Your voice had become higher pitched with defensiveness, and your eyes wouldn’t meet his for the next few hours.
He had only wanted to help, but he couldn’t tell you why. Couldn’t tell you that your desperate moans kept him up at night when they echoed down the hall. Those broken whimpers that made it sound like you were crying, so worked up and in need of release that it brought you to tears. 
He also couldn’t share how it made his cock rise to attention. How those pretty little noises had him fucking his fist, other palm covering his mouth to muffle his grunts, searching for relief of his own. His precious baby bunny didn’t need to know all of that.
Today had been a long day. He was tired after dealing with all the bullshit that came with his job. Although, unlike in months prior, he wasn’t all doom and gloom driving home. The thought of his sweet girl at home waiting for him by the door kept his spirits somewhat up as he made the commute back.
To his surprise, you weren’t in the living room like normal. He walked through the room cautiously, a little on edge from the disruption to his routine. He goes into the kitchen and still doesn’t find you. He starts to walk to the back of the home and that’s when he hears something. Those soft, needy sounds of pleasure.
His eyebrows raise, but he continues walking. As he gets closer, he realizes something that adds another level of shock to this situation. The noises were coming from his room.
At this point, he was more concerned than anything else. He makes his way down the hallway to his room and slowly opens the door, cracking it open to peek inside.
His eyes widen as he sees you on his bed. You’re kneeling, doubled over though so your face is in the blankets, his pillow between your legs, and your hips rocking back and forth violently. You’re nude from the waist down, only wearing a shirt of his. One of your fists is clutching the blankets while you keep your face shoved against them in a weak attempt to muffle those cute noises.
His jaw goes slack at the sight. He wills himself to remain calm and not succumb to some of his own primal urges. He carefully steps into the room, trying to be quiet even though he couldn’t see a way to not startle you with his presence.
“Baby…” he says, using the most gentle voice he could manage.
You shoot up in bed, now kneeling vertically. Your eyes are wide like you’ve had the fright of your life, your expression clearly horrified that he’d caught you like this. And even though he tries not to look, he can’t help but notice that despite your reaction, your hips don’t stop rutting against the pillow.
“Daddy!” you gasp.
That short circuits his brain. He pauses for a good five seconds to grapple with what you just said. You’d never called him that before. Not that he minded necessarily… but it still gave him whiplash.
His reaction seems to cause you to realize what you had just blurted out. In the blink of an eye, you go from visibly horrified to completely mortified. Your eyes fill with tears as you whimper out “I’m so sorry, Daddy.”
Oh god, and now you’re crying. Leon was still silent as he tried to keep his composure, force the heat building inside of him to cool off before he approached you. Looking at you though, that sweet face with tears leaking down those round cheeks… It made him want to bounce you on his lap till you were crying for a whole other reason.
“It’s ok, sweetheart. It’s alright,” he reassures you as he walks to the bed. He sits on the edge, keeping his eyes firmly fixed on your face. “Is it… Are you in heat?”
“Yes,” you say, tone dripping with shame. You bite your lip and try to restrain any further whimpers. Your hips were slowing down but still moving. After a few moments though, another wave of choked cries erupt from your throat and more hot tears of humiliation slide down your skin. Your hands fly up to cover your face. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to. I-”
“Hey, hey, hey. Calm down. It’s ok,” he says softly. He cautiously takes your wrists and pulls them away from your face. He takes one of your hands in his, soothingly rubbing the back of your palm. You whimper at the touch, but he doesn’t say anything. “It’s ok, honey. I’m not mad. You can’t help it. I just want to make sure you’re ok.”
You look into his eyes with your tearful gaze. Your breathing was a little ragged from crying, but it seemed like he was calming you down slowly. You nod with uncertainty, waiting for him to make the next move.
He was also unsure of what to do. This was so unlike you, he’d never seen you this emotional for one, but he’d also never expected to see you in this position. And the entire time your hips were still grinding on that pillow, back and forth like a pendulum.
“Is it more intense this time?” he asks, keeping his tone gentle to not upset you again.
“I guess,” you whimper, “I just… I wanted you.”
It pained him to see you so uncomfortable and stressed out. He wanted you to be able to come to him with these types of things, to trust him with yourself when you’re in your most vulnerable state. It was clear that you desired that too, to some degree. You were in his room, humping his pillow, wearing his shirt.
“Well… I’m right here, baby. I want to help if I can. If you want me to,” he says.
Your skepticism is written all over your face. But you needed this even if you were a little nervous. He pats his lap encouragingly, and that’s the final push you need to let go of the pillow and crawl into his lap.
“There’s my baby bunny. Sweet girl,” he says softly as he gets you situated. He peppers a few tender kisses on your head and strokes your back.
You had only been there for a few seconds, but your hips were already squirming.
“What do you need, baby? Just tell Daddy, and you can have it,” he whispers. The title rolls off his tongue as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. It had caught him off guard when you said it, but after it rattled around in his head for a bit, it took root. Now, he just wanted to hear you say it again.
You whimper, looking at him through your lashes with those sweet eyes. At this point, you were all but riding his thigh. There’s a pause as you decide how to articulate your desire.
“I need… I need you,” you offer timidly.
“I know that, sweetheart,” he chuckles, “Try to be more specific for me. Daddy only wants to know so he can help you. Give you exactly what you need.”
He reaches up and cradles the back of your head, bringing you in to rest it on his shoulder. His other arm wraps around you and rubs your back. He holds  you as close as he can to give you that physical reassurance he knew you longed for in your condition.
You still hesitate, obviously working up your will to explicitly state your cravings.
“I want Daddy inside, wanna be bred,” you whimper, turning your face against his shoulder to hide your eyes. Your whole head felt hot with the weight of what you said. It was almost dizzying, but he swoops in with his cooing voice and gentle praises to keep you together.
“Poor baby,” he croons, “I don’t know how you handled this alone for so long, honey. That’s so unfair to you, all these big feelings you had to work through by yourself. So frustrating.”
You knew he was being excessively caring now, but you had no complaints. The loving cadence of his voice made your mind melt. All you could do is whimper and nod against his shoulder.
“You could’ve come to Daddy anytime you wanted. I could never say no to my sweet baby bunny, especially not about this,” he says, kissing your head and giving your ears a few loving strokes.
“I know. I’m sorry,” you say.
“Nothing to be sorry about, sweet girl. I’m here now. We’re gonna fix it. Daddy’s gonna make it all better,” he says.
He shifts you around a little so he can slide his pants down and free his hard cock. Your curious eyes dart back to his face after a quick look at the flushed tip and the veins spanning the shaft.
“You ready?” he asks softly.
“Mhm, need it,” you whimper in return, helping him get your hips into position.
He lowers you on to his cock. Both of you let out hushed noises of pleasure as the sensation strikes pleasure within you. His fingers are digging into the flesh of your hips as he slides further into you. Your arms tighten around him and your eyes already start to flutter at the snug fit.
You whine and babble out some nonsense when you’re finally flush against him. His cock twitches inside of you.
“I know, baby, I know,” he hushes you. You could hear the tension in his own voice from exerting so much restraint. “You feeling any better?”
“Little bit, need more Daddy,” you mewl.
“Just give yourself a second to adjust, angel,” he grunts. You were pulsing around him, making it harder for him to not let go. 
But it seems you’re feeling the same way. You shake your head in response to his words and start haphazardly squirming around, trying to move up and down while still in his hold.
“Need it Daddy,” you whine, “Can’t wait. Pretty please.”
Like he’d said, he couldn’t say no.
“If you’re sure, honey,” he says and loosens his grip, “Be a good bunny and bounce for Daddy.”
That’s all you need to hear before you’re bouncing up and down. Wet noises fill the room as your slick pussy takes him in and out. You close your eyes and tilt your head back, letting the embarrassment fade and just feeling the pleasure running through you.
Leon focuses on helping you keep your balance as you ride him. His own belly was twisting with ecstasy as your heat engulfs him over and over.
“That’s it, good baby,” he grunts, “Keep going, honey. Get it all out.”
You whine and continue on, up and down, up and down. More cute noises spill from your mouth as the head of his cock nudges all the right places. You ramble on, mumbling things like “love my daddy” over and over.
“Daddy loves you too, sweet girl,” he says softly.
He notices you starting to cling and whimper more. You were still riding, but your rhythm was becoming more awkward. You seemed more desperate even though you literally had him as close and as deep as physically possible.
He tries to help and do more of the work. He pulls you in close again and holds you against his body. Your face is pressed to his neck while he rubs the back of your head. His hips start to do the majority of the thrusting, bucking up into you fervently.
More incoherent strings of words escape you as you melt into his chest. You press a few sloppy kisses to the base of his neck. Despite him taking over, you were still being whiny and squirmy. He knew you were in discomfort, but it should be getting better, right?
“What is it, babydoll? What else do you need?” he coos.
Your head falls back and a sound of general pent up frustration escapes you. Your hips roll into his thrusts in large, needy movements.
“It’s not enough,” you cry, almost near tears from the ache between your thighs, “Need you more. Closer. Need it.”
You tug at his arms trying to get him to wrap them tighter. There wasn’t much Leon could do though. You were already as close as possible, any closer and you wouldn’t be able to move, which he was sure wouldn’t go over well with you. He felt so bad for you though. His sweet baby bunny suffering like this.
He watches you, your weak attempts at getting yourself off by rising and falling on his lap. He can’t take watching you struggle like this. Doing the only thing that could think of, he boosts you up and quickly flips you over.
You’re now pinned beneath him. His toned body is all over yours, heated skin pressed to you in every way. He spreads your arms out and holds your wrists down. His hips are against yours. He’s just grinding into you now, not even pulling out with his thrusts. He was as deep as possible. If this wasn’t enough, he didn’t know what else to do.
“How’s that, pretty girl? Is that how my baby bunny wants it? Wants Daddy nice and deep, ready to spill his cum and breed her cute pussy,” he breathes.
You nod eagerly, eyes rolling back at the relief you felt. This is what you needed. Feeling his weight on top of you, unable to move anywhere else.
“Mhm, this is what you need, sweet baby. You’re gonna take every last drop. Gonna keep it all in to make sure it takes too. If any leaks out, that just means I’ll have to fuck it back in. We’ll just have to go as many times as we need to,” he groans.
“Yes Daddy. Wanna take it all. Gonna be full of your cum for days,” you whimper.
“Yeah you will be. I think that’s what I’ll do from now on. Whenever my baby bunny goes into heat, I’ll have to stay home, make sure to keep you in bed, keep you plugged up full of Daddy at all times. That pretty little head won’t have to think about anything but being bred,” he says.
You just nod again, unable to get proper words out at the minute.
“I feel you squeezing, sweetheart. You getting ready to cum for Daddy?” he coos and reaches up to stroke your ears. He hikes your thighs up more, giving him a deeper angle to drive into you with. You gasp from the change, and your noises get higher as he rams in as much as he can without it being painful.
“Daddy!” you cry out. It’s all you can say. You had more, but it could only come out in the form of that one word right now. He’s all that was on your mind. Daddy daddy daddy.
“Yes, baby. Yes. Daddy’s here. Gonna fill you full of cum and then love on you for the rest of the night,” he purrs, “My baby was so brave, dealing with this all by yourself. But doesn’t it feel so much better when Daddy takes care of you?”
“Mhm, mhm,” you agree quickly.
Your hips start bucking while your body spasms. Leon knew this was it.
“Good girl, baby. Cum whenever you want. Let it feel good baby, get perfect and tight,” he says.
You do just that. You let the release wash over you. You shudder and dig your fingers into his muscles as the feelings bubble over.
“My perfect little bunny,” he praises softly while watching you let go.
It’s not much longer until his cock his pulsing violently within you. He thrusts as hard and as deep as possible before letting out a loud groan and burying his face in your neck.
“Fuck, baby, baby, baby,” he mumbles.
He spills it all inside you, hips twitching and arms locking around you. In the end, you’re both panting. He pulls back a little to kiss your forehead again. He looks down into your eyes.
“How’re you feeling now, sweet girl?” he asks softly.
“Better for now,” you answer. Your head starts to clear and return to its normal state.
He nods and kisses your head again. He rolls over onto his back, scooping you up against his chest while staying inside you. He rubs your back gently.
“You did so good, baby,” he whispers, “Now you see you don’t have to do that alone. You can trust me, sweetheart. I only want to help you. Keep you happy.”
You nod and look up at him lovingly.
“If this is what you need, this is what you need. We can get through it together,” he says softly.
“Together,” you agree softly and scoot up slightly, kissing him gently on the lips.
He smiles big and holds you closer somehow. He leans in for another kiss and another. He didn’t think he’d ever be able to get enough.

The thing I've realized, in the broader Actual Play space, is that a lot of creators are trying to turn Actual Play shows into TV shows.
You mentioned Kollok in your tags, and the creator of that has mentioned creating Kollok in a way to try to appeal to the Netflix audience.
And I'm all for experimentation, but tbh if I wanted to watch a TV show, I would go watch a TV show. That's not what I'm looking for in an Actual Play and over editing and gimmicks actively turn me off from it.
Folks creating Actual Play seem to put a lot of weight on it, but I don't know if it's that important from an audience perspective.
Hey anon,
Huge same - I've been thinking about this for a while, especially in regards to choices I didn't like (notably on D20, though the Candela split screen in chapter 3, while relatively minor, felt like part of the same trend and I'm really interested in seeing whether they keep it). I actually did mean to write more about this not in the tags of a reblog, so thanks for this ask because it gives me that motivation to do it!
Earlier this year I was at an event and someone who to be totally honest I found kind of annoying was talking about Dimension 20, and I decided to keep quiet and listen to what other people had to say, and another person (whom I respect and specifically know to be like, left-leaning and inclusive and not gatekeeper dudebro type, which is relevant to the next statement) who is solidly in Gen X and has been playing D&D since at least 2e mentioned that he doesn't like Actual Play at all because he is from the era where D&D was frequently played in third person and is somewhat of a purist in that sense. Ie, this guy would say "Gawain pulls out his sword and smites the dragon, with a 24 to hit", rather than "I'm going to pull out my sword and smite the dragon." He described his idea of D&D as being very much collaborative storytelling in the sense of a bunch of third person narrators who happen to be the storytellers for one specific character, not a first-person acted scene.
I happen to like both forms of narration and am not a purist either way, and indeed use both third person and first person myself as a player (as do many actual players; you see this on CR and D20 all the time). But I think this does show just how broad this spectrum is. You have people all the way on the "I am narrating an improvised story, I am the storyteller puppeting my character and I am not trying to be immersed" side and then you have shows that are trying to push this into full immersion...but so long as you have dice rolls, you'll never achieve it.
I prefer something in between: I do love watching people act, but I really like the gears and wires! I love mechanics! I think people who say "I love actual play D&D but I don't really care for combat, only RP" don't actually like actual play D&D! This is a specific format and I do not want people to hide the fact that they are using the rules of a game and are at a table, because they are and we know it.
This came up when I and others talked about the Legend of Vox Machina adaptation: they're probably going to have to find a way to convey the same tragedy and gravity of Scanlan's ninth level counterspell that doesn't require viewers to know the mechanics, because if you watch that scene as actual play the meaning of Sam saying "Nine" is immediately apparent. It hits hard with that one single word, but that won't be the case in an animated adaptation where no one is rolling a D20. Mechanics are in intrinsic part of actual play. You can enjoy actual play without that knowledge, but a solid grounding in those mechanics will only enhance that enjoyment (well, unless you're one of those rules-lawyery weirdos who gets bitter about any GM rule of cool/homebrew that they couldn't predict from the rulebooks but those people will never be happy).
The more general context of "being in a game", not just mechanics, is also in my opinion valuable. Brennan, on a Worlds Beyond Number fireside chat, referred to certain NPCs like Caramelinda as "furious that they are in a D&D game" and it's a funny and true statement. I feel like trying to push actual play into the realm of scripted shows is that: it feels like you're trying to hide the origins, and I think the quality of the show will ultimately suffer when you do that. It feels almost ashamed of what it is, and I don't think you can make something that transforms a medium/genre/thing in between the two without having a profound love and respect for the original, even if you also find it flawed. (This is also, tbh, how I feel about a lot of attempts to divorce D&D from the fact that it is ultimately a game influenced heavily by sword-and-sorcery fantasy, or about attempts to turn high or heroic fantasy into something that neatly affirms all of one's 2024 real world political beliefs, but that's another post).
I also think that the out-of-character element of actual play is a big draw. I have been open about having complicated feelings about the parasocial and projection aspects; but those feelings are "hey, this is still a show that is a source of livelihood, you are not hanging out in someone's living room and getting weird about the fact that the CR cast no longer responds to every tweet is dumb" and "you have not been betrayed by the creators because you didn't get the plot you wanted," and "the fact that two actors sit next to each other is not, in fact, a solid basis for shipping." I am equally opposed to the idea of "the actors do not exist, only the characters do," put forward in that attempt to make actual play Netflix-ready. It's fun to watch the CR cast rib Travis for turning bright red for, as people said, pretend kissing his real wife. It's fun to watch the Intrepid Heroes heckle Brennan when he plays a villain. It's fun to hear Aabria and Erika scream at WBN plot developments and for the McElroys or the NADDPod crew to wheeze with laughter and all of these shows but CR are to a degree edited, and all leave that element in, which I think says something really important about what actual play is understood to be!
It does not escape me that the seasons/shows using heavier camera edits have often, in my opinion, sacrificed story quality for a visual style I don't even care for. I do watch prestige television, and one of the more striking cinematographic choices I've seen lately are the extremely long single take shots used on both Succession's final season (Connor's Wedding, 4x03) and The Bear's first season (Review, 1x07). Prestige TV is not doing the glitchy Neverafter stuff. Hell, I liked Sagas of Sundry: Dread and never finished Madness before it went offline and haven't made an effort to seek it out specifically because the black box theater feel of Dread felt fun and new but not too removed from actual play vibes, whereas the higher production values of Madness, ironically, made it feel too artificial and stilted to keep my interest.
Actual play is its own beast, and in trying to appeal to a new audience you're probably going to lose a lot of the one you have. A big part of why I haven't been motivated to check out Kollok is that everything I hear about it, even positive reviews, makes it sound like it's missing the things I like from actual play and doesn't achieve the level of scripted shows. Honestly I think the REAL answer here is that if you want to find a space between a Netflix drama and an Actual Play show, ditch the rules and make stuff like Midst, which is as discussed inspired by ttrpg/actual play spaces, but is broadly plotted out in advance. I think that approach can combine the best of both worlds, whereas I feel as though attempting to be a Netflix show will usually spend so much time trying to hide the fact that there's a table there that it will detract from the actual story.

Feel free to ignore, but you mentioned that the fandom landscape has changed drastically from twenty years ago, and I’m curious what that means for you. I’ve seen lots of posts on the topic, but am interested in your experience if you want to share.
I absolutely can share!
Twenty years ago, I found fandom through bulletin boards or message boards (depending on what you called them). Trekbbs was my first one, and it's still standing. High speed internet was relatively new, and it was easy to keep up with "threads." Whenever you logged in, it would take you to where you left off with any given thread so you could catch up. (Discord does this...kinda, but Discord moves at warp speed where BBS's moved at impulse power.) It was easier to stay connected, to get to know people. Also, the boards were (and are) heavily moderated. Trolls were banned, and folks who got too heated under the collar were usually temporarily banned until tempers cooled. So it was generally a safe environment.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that the vast majority of the boards were grown-up only. That's not to say that minors didn't sneak through, but they were on their best behavior lest they get found out and kicked off the board.
And from the boards, we learned where to find fanfic. Back then, even though FFN existed, fic was primarily archived on private sites. There were no such thing as likes and kudos back then. It was fandom etiquette (at least for my corner of the Trek fandom) to leave a comment/review if you read a fic (and be nice about it!). It was the era of Kink Tomato (your kink is not my kink and that's okay) and don't like don't read and simply fun. We had challenges, did round robins—where someone would write a chapter of a fic, then another author would write the next, and so forth.
Even when I made the switch to posting more on FFN, it was pretty normal to send a message to someone to thank them for favorite-ing your story even if they didn't comment. And often they would message back, telling you what they enjoyed. I have some friendships born from this! It was normal. Writers weren't called "needy" and "self-absorbed" for hoping for more interaction with their readers. We were all in this together.
I also did yahoo groups for a time, and had a fantastic time with my friends in an email chain.
LiveJournal was kind of the peak of fandom, IMO. I think it was the first "public" website, rather than something privately owned, where we could build communities (private or public) as well as have our own pages (private or public). Some of the best fandom events happened on that site. But LiveJournal ended up imploding. (Cyber attacks then the new owners started wiping out entire communities without warning for violating the new terms of service. It was horrible.)
So we all moved to Tumblr. (And we were slowly moving to AO3. Some also moved to the site formerly called Twitter.)
Tumblr was pretty awesome back then. Because fandom people took the same community with them when they came. We didn't have replies back then, but dagnabit we screenshot tags or reblogged comments and posted them with replies. It was easier to follow tags and even some fandoms created blogs that were archives for fics. (Myself included.) The downside was, and continues to be, lack of moderation. Not that I think fandom should be gatekept, but it isn't as easy-going when you do have to worry about putting up with trolls as a rule rather than the exception.
Alas, life happened and I had to step away for a few years. When I came back...it's so much quieter. Significantly less interaction. Less comments on fics. There's just...less connection in general. People tend to flit in and out of fandom more often. And on top of that, there is the odd movement that fanworks shouldn't contain anything that would make a reader/viewer uncomfortable or is unrelatable to the general masses. As a fanworks creator, there have been times I felt more like a monkey dancing for a demanding audience rather than a squee-ing fan sharing things with fellow sqee-ing fans. I seriously questioned for a long time whether I would bother anymore.
(This also doesn't mention how streaming and binge-watching series rather than weekly releases have affected fandom. It's different when you get one episode a week for an entire season of 20-24 episodes than when a streamer releases the entire 8-10 episode series at once.)
A part of this is me, too. I don't have nearly as much time to invest in fandom as I used to. I can't be too critical of the changes in fandom, but it is different.
And so I hang onto a few of the friends I've found (like you!) and continue to find here and there. I write whatever I want and delete rude comments. I always reply to the others. And I keep plugging on!
Thank you for asking! And thank you for being part of what I love about being on Tumblr even after all these changes! (Sorry I got a bit verbose!)

a/n: i got carried away. probably ooc, definitely not logical, absolutely kinky. Act 2 but no spoilers. reposting bc tumblr refused to show it in the tags, cowards.
summary: Dammon tests just how deep reader's devotion is.

The sight of the silver-haired blacksmith slaving away in his shop never failed to captivate you. Dammon was a hard worker and you admired him for that; he worked tirelessly for those seeking refuge at Last Light Inn, knowing he'd receive little in return. Apart from the respect you had for his work ethic, you also harbored deeper feelings that fell somewhere between the categories of love and lust.
You couldn't pinpoint exactly when you started to fall for him, you just knew that those feelings were present now and they wouldn’t go away how much you willed them to. It didn't matter anyways, you had much more pressing matters to deal with given the creature in your head, and you took solace in the fact that Dammon wouldn't return the feelings. Besides, you had several camp members express interest in you, and with them, you would at least be traveling together.
Still, it wouldn't hurt to take advantage of the opportunity to chat with Dammon while you still had the chance… 
“What can I do for you?” His smile greeted you as he put his hammer down and turned to face where you stood.
“Oh, uhm, I wanted to see what you had for trade today. I'm… looking for a gift for someone,” it wasn't the first time you bullshit your way through a conversation, though at least this time it was for the innocent reason of talking with him longer.
“A gift, yeah? Does the chosen one have a special love?” He teased lightly and his smile shifted into a smirk.
“You might say that. Do you have anything that might impress someone?” you rocked back and forth on your feet as you inquired further, “What's something you would want to receive? Uh, just to give me some ideas, of course!”
Dammon leaned away from his workbench and raised an eyebrow at the way you fidgeted nervously in front of him. “The things I'd like to receive are much more binding than any material item. But perhaps I have similar things to what you're looking for in the cellar.”
Without giving you a chance to ask any more questions about what he meant, Dammon turned and started towards an inconspicuous hatch. You weren't aware there was a cellar beneath the stables area, but it's not as if you could snoop around everywhere. The entrance was rather obscured, but Dammon opened it with ease, gesturing for you to descend the staircase. The trust you put in him was tested at the moment, yet you were unable to refuse, out of both curiosity and adoration for the man ushering you into the dim light.
The hatch slammed heavily behind him and you didn't think anything more of it as you walked down into the room. Looking around, confusion filled you and heat scorched your cheeks as your heart quickened. This wasn't a storage shelter for his trade items. These items were of a much more scandalous nature, shocked was an understatement, but it wasn’t an unwelcome revelation that he had some sort of sex dungeon at his disposal.
“Pray tell, how dedicated are you to this special love?”
You gasped when he spoke right behind you, causing you to spin around and face him. He was closer than you expected and you stepped back before his hands wrapped around your forearms. The pressure was gentle but prevented you from going far and avoiding his question. Swallowing the lump that was in your throat, the intense eye contact he was giving made you aware he wasn't asking about the faux love interest you were shopping for.
“Wholly,” the word was spoken breathlessly before you steeled your nerves and returned his gaze, “I'm wholly dedicated to them.”
“And would you do anything for them?”
“Anything.”
His pupils dilated at your answer, the sight taking your breath away as his hands slid up your arms before cupping each cheek. “Would you do anything for me?”
“Anything,” you answered him again and put your hands over his, turning your head to one side to kiss his palm, “I would do anything for you. Just ask it of me.”
“Pick one. Then rejoin me upstairs,” he nodded towards the back wall and his hands fell to find yours, kissing the knuckles on each hand.
After you shook your head in acknowledgment, he returned to the surface and left you alone with whatever exactly the items on the back wall were. You mulled over the events of the past five minutes, scoffing at the thought that so much emotional development happened so quickly when you had been agonizing over such a thing for… well since you arrived. Not that you were complaining, for you told the truth when you said you would do anything for him and let him do anything to you.
This was a good mindset to have because, as you examined the items on the back wall all fashioned into different shapes or letters, you realized you were looking at branding irons. Your blood ran cold as his request fully took hold of you. Perhaps because it was unexpected from the sweet blacksmith. Or perhaps more because you were appalled at how okay you were with the idea, how the thought of Dammon marking you made your thighs press tighter together. 
The shapes sat in front of you and you took each one of them in, feeling for one that called to you like the man awaiting above called to you with each waking moment of your existence. Your fingers traced over the cool metal of a few of them until you paused on one and picked it from the shelf. Making your way back up to the workshop, your heart tightened when Dammon’s expression brightened at the sight of you with an iron in your hands.
“This one. I want you to mark me with this one,” you stated plainly as you took the branding iron with the letter “D” fashioned on the end and held it out for him to take.
Callused hands gently plucked the metal from your hands and twirled it around as you watched him do plenty of times before. Though this time, you would be the victim. His oh-so-willing victim, who nearly begged him for it with their sweet doe eyes. A final twirl and then the shaped end was nested into the ember red coals, allowing Dammon to turn his attention to you.
“A fine choice,” he barely contained his pleasure at your pick of brand shape, and the simple praise inflated your confidence, “now everyone will properly know you belong to me.”
Guiding you into a simple chair, he sat you in front of where the iron was heating up, allowing you to watch as your fate was being prepared for you. It was a simple test in his eyes. Not to give him satisfaction, but to allow you the time to contemplate what was to come, and to bow out if needed.
“It’s going to hurt,” he stated plainly, not sugarcoating the obvious.
Your eyes met his over your shoulder, “I know.”
“You don’t have-”
“I want you to mark me,” you repeated from earlier, this time more forceful in tone, “I want it.”
His eyebrows raised ever so slightly in mild surprise before he looked off to the side and coughed to try and steel his resolve. The last thing he needed before doing this was to be distracted by the sweet temptation you offered him, at least, that’s what he kept telling himself. He stood up and moved to instead squat in front of you.
“I just wanted to be sure. I’m more than happy to follow through,” his hands slowly rubbed up and down your thighs as he looked up at you, “I want you to touch yourself while I do it until you can’t anymore. Would you do that for me? And, where do you want me on you?”
Briefly, your eyes scanned over the members of the Inn who bustled about just outside of the blacksmith’s shop, yet you nodded eagerly and echoed your promise from before, “Anything,” peeling your shirt off, you tossed it to the workbench and bared your chest to the sweltering heat of the smithery, “I want it here.”
“Consider it done, my sweet lamb,” he smiled and leaned up to kiss the area of your chest you pointed to while his hands roamed up to play with the newly exposed flesh, reveling in the way you moaned softly when his rough fingers pulled at your nipples.
A pleasured sigh left your lips as you rolled your head back and closed your eyes, allowing yourself to feel the sensual gratification he offered you: the proverbial calm before the storm. Kisses adorned over your chest and up your neck as your hand slipped to your crotch and you slowly began to play with yourself through your pants. The anticipation of the pain soon to come only made the satisfaction heightened now. One of his hands replaced yours and his kisses finally reached your lips, the sensation better than what you had daydreamed it would be.
“Are you ready to become mine, love?”
Slowly, your eyes opened to meet his, pupils wide with lust as you nodded, “Please, take me.”
His jaw clenched at your reply and his plans shifted all at once, morals becoming skewed as he tugged you down the chair ever so slightly. He rid you of your pants, exposing you further to anyone who wished to pay attention to the innocent-looking blacksmith. Tugging his own down, he dripped his shop oil onto your entrance and over his cock before he slowly stroked it. So responsive to his touch, you shuddered feeling him stretch you delightfully.
The first thrusts were slow and testing as he cleaned the area where you wished to have his brand. His touch was full of reverence for the mere existence of you and the movement of his hips was equally praising as he was driven solely by the sweet sound of your noises. Your mind fogged with sweet bliss as you touched yourself like he asked, nearly forgetting what was to come when Dammon leaned over you. His body was surprisingly heavy, his line of work was something that required strength and bulk.
One arm braced over your upper chest, pressing into the bottom of your neck slightly while his hips never faltered and earning a sultry string of curses from you, “Oh fuck, please.”
They were the last words you uttered before the brand was pressed into your skin for the longest four seconds of your life. The action didn’t register until it was nearly done with and only when the brand was discarded to the ground did you finally let out the first garbled cry of pain. Your burnt flesh smelled revolting, stinging your nostrils as the pain radiated through your nerves and you thrashed and wailed within Dammon’s arms.
He put more force into restraining your body until you were left immobile and mentally grappling with the pain. Still, he barely slowed his thrusts down during the ordeal, if anything he ached harder watching your skin scorch. Your nerves were going into overdrive as he fucked into you rougher and admired your new mark- his mark.
“By the gods, look at you, absolutely perfect,” his tone was darker than any you’d heard him speak with before and it made you throb around him pathetically.
Noises from the common area of the camp made you acutely aware once again that you were far from hidden from anyone, but the man fucking you made it hard for you to care. And Dammon himself didn’t seem to care a shred, if anything he wanted others to see how primally and wholly he claimed you. The sight of your raised, angry skin beginning to blister over spurred him on with the promise that you would indeed scar with the mark he bestowed upon you.
“I’m-” your words broke off, voice weak from expressing your pain, but the rest of your sentence was inferred.
“Go ahead, cum for me now that you’re branded as my sweet little lamb,” he kissed you once before continuing his movements and offering one of his hands to get you off faster, nearing his own high as well, “People will see you and know you belong to me.”
His fingers ghosted around the broken and angry flesh, making your back arch and you gasped as his other hand still aided you until your pleasure finally peaked. Dammon groaned as he watched you cover him in your juices, returning the favor as he did the same to you. Your body ached, with most of the pain rightfully centered around the pulsating wound on your chest. Still, the chair did nothing to help as you tried to right yourself, leaning into the help the blacksmith offered you.
Although it throbbed with pain, the newest addition to your bodily scars also twinged with pleasure as you thought about everyone knowing the depraved things you had been up to. Let alone the thought of those who stuck around to watch…

Pent-Up | Changlix | 18+ Minors DNI
Summary: After a long day, Changbin just wants to relieve his pent-up stress. When his roommate Felix gets in the way, Changbin decides to use him as a stress reliever instead.
Tumblr media
Words: 1,788
Rating: Explicit, 18+
Pairing: Seo Changbin + Lee Felix (Stray Kids)
Warnings: Dubious consent, blowjob, verbal degradation, under-negotiated (!), rough oral, free use -ish
More Tags: Dom!Changbin, Sub!Felix, college au, roommate au
Part 1 of a series but can be read as a standalone smut one shot.
Notes: My first post on here! Please let me know if I missed any warnings or tags! Changbin's behavior in this fic would not be acceptable in real life as he acts roughly without previously establishing consent. Cross-posted on AO3, don't translate/post.
Likes, reblogs, comments, and messages are VERY appreciated, as they are my only way of knowing if someone read/cares about my writing.
Changbin's day had been bad enough.
It was one of those days where the moment he opened his eyes in the morning he just wished he could close them again and roll over, sleeping more until his own body woke him up rather than the alarm on his phone.
The professor shot him a dissatisfied glance when he entered two minutes late and something within Changbin hoped she would say something about his tardiness, simply so he could cause a scene. She ticked off his name on the attendance list with a sigh but no further comment. Changbin sat down, fighting against the urge to immediately leave the lecture.
After three long hours Changbin could barely relax before he was set for his next appointment. While he was sharing a table with five other students he cursed himself for agreeing to discuss the group project on this day. Of course, the others had no interest in speeding up the process so he was stuck inside the university building for a lot longer than he would have ever wished for.
He sighed when he finally unlocked his front door, glad to have this shitty day over with. Changbin threw off his shoes and jacket, walking straight towards the bathroom. Some years ago, Changbin had developed a habit which to this day he wasn't sure was good or bad. Whenever he felt stressed, frustrated or angry, he would lock himself in his bathroom or bedroom to jerk off. While it started off as a method to take the edge off in an overwhelming situation, it quickly led to feelings of anger and arousal being connected in his mind, causing Changbin to run to this solution on a more and more frequent level. Now, whenever he felt stressed like he did today, he was just waiting until he could finally release.
He was on his way to the shower to do exactly that when he was stopped in his tracks. In order to reach the bathroom door, Changbin passed by the kitchen corner in his apartment which today, like many other days, was occupied by his roommate Felix.
Felix was one year younger than Changbin, had freckles, hair that reached his shoulder and studied a subject he had probably mentioned to Changbin on multiple occassions, if only he had listened.
His roommate stepped in front of Changbin with a bright smile on his face, one that could not even be swiped by the scowl Changbin was surely sporting.
"Look, I made jam" he said happily, holding up a small bowl in his left hand.
Changbin just stared for a moment before turning away.
"You should totally try it, here" Felix had unceremoniously shoved the bowl into Changbin's hand.
He took a deep breath as Felix continued speaking.
"Felix, I don't care. I've had a long day and every single thing was so annoying I could scream. Don't hold me hostage with your jam."
Changbin set down the bowl of jam.
Taken aback, Felix opened his mouth again.
"I thought it might help or something I'm.." Changbin couldn't hear the rest of what Felix was saying as his attention had been grabbed by something different.
Felix must have spilled some jam while filling up the bowl, one drop of jam having slid down the side of it. And Changbin had had the absolute honor of accidentally touching that exact spot, the sticky substance now on the pad of his pointer finger.
Changbin saw red. He turned to Felix who was still mid-ramble about how having a sweet treat might be exactly what Changbin needed after a frustrating day.
"Felix" Changbin said dangerously low, causing the younger to freeze in the middle of his sentence.
"All I wanted to do was to take a shower and jerk the fuck off but instead I'm standing here, listening to whatever the fuck it is you're talking about. Look at this." He held out his jam-finger. "What the fuck?"
Felix stood there with wide eyes.
"I'm sor-"
"Shut the fuck up."
Before he knew it, Changbin had shoved his finger into Felix's mouth, swiping it on his tongue until he felt his finger was clean again.
Felix clearly did not know what to do, simply allowing Changbin to proceed without interrupting him.
"Now that that problem is out of the way, let me to go to the fucking bathroom to do what I need to do. Or would you rather be the one on your knees taking care of that?"
The both stayed frozen in their spot for a moment, staring at each other. Something like this had never happened before. They always smiled at each other, had a bit of smalltalk and went about their day. If Changbin hadn't been so pent up with anger, he would have probably apologized on the spot and regretted this interaction for the rest of his life. But instead, he continued looking at his roommate who had still not made any efforts to remove Changbin's finger from his mouth.
Then, something happened that Changbin could have never predicted.
Without saying a word, Felix sank to his knees.
Changbin raised his eyebrows at the movement, curious to see where this would go. They didn't break eye contact as Felix began sucking on the finger in his mouth, moving his tongue around it and bobbing his head slowly.
Deciding to take more initiative, Changbin pushed in a second finger, his middle finger, alongside the first one, seeing Felix's eyes widen at the intrusion. Changbin thrust his fingers in, almost hitting the back of his throat. Felix closed his eyes in an attempt to keep up with the movements, his hands clasping each other so he could ground himself.
On one hand, Changbin would have loved watching Felix suck and gag on his fingers for however long he pleased, but the pressure in his pants reminded him that he had a different goal in mind.
He pulled his fingers out which lead Felix to lean forward, chasing after them.
Changbin grabbed his chin roughly, forcing him to look up at him.
"Are you gonna suck my dick?"
Felix nodded eagerly and Changbin scoffed, quickly opening the button and zipper on his pants and pushing them down alongside his underwear, finally letting his erection spring free.
"Go ahead then" he commanded, placing on hand on top of Felix's head.
Felix took the base of Changbin's dick between his fingers as he leaned forward to place long licks on the side of his shaft. Probably sensing the older's impatience, he quickly moved on to swirl his tongue around his tip, then placed it in his mouth to suck on it. Changbin let out a low moan at that, threading his fingers through Felix's hair and settling on loosely grabbing a bunch on the back of his neck. A slight movement of his hips signaled that he wanted more, which Felix immediately adapted to. He bobbed his head up and down, his eyes tightly shut so he could focus on the task at hand. Changbin groaned at the sensation, watching the younger attempt to sink down further and further on his cock.
As he didn't reach the base of Changbin's dick, Felix instead brought up his hand to jerk off the part he couldn't take in.
"Fuck, Felix, too dry" Changbin muttered and before Felix could even react, Changbin took matters into his own hands. Tightening his grip on Felix's hair, Changbin thrust forward while tugging Felix's head down, leading to him having to engulf more of his length than he previously had. Changbin loosened his grip, instead cradling the back of his head with his hand and pushing Felix forward until his nose hit Changbin's pelvis. He kept him there, ignoring the gagging sounds coming from the younger.
"Exactly like this" Changbin groaned. Despite the intrusion, Felix was still doing his best suckling on the cock, his tongue moving around while he was struggling to properly breathe through his nose. Changbin moved his hips in a small thrusting motion, less because of the pleasure it gave him and moreso simply because he could, reveling in the power he currently held. Each movement elicited a gurgling sound from Felix's throat who was now tightly holding onto Changbin's hips for stability.
Felix opened his previously tightly shut eyes to look up at the older and it didn't take much to spot the tears that were threatening to spill out of his eyes.
Changbin maintained eye contact without stopping.
"At least you're good for something."
He gave one more sharp thrust, pushing his head against his body so the younger could barely breathe at all. Taking mercy, Changbin let go of his head completely, watching as Felix pulled off of his dick, heavily breathing in order to catch his breath as he sat back.
Changbin decided to take things into his own hands, jerking himself off over a disheveled Felix.
"What, you're done?" He asked, causing Felix's eyes to snap up and meet his.
Felix swallowed, then shook his head, reaching out his hand in order to continue what Changbin was currently doing.
Changbin let his own hand fall to his side, watching as Felix pumped his length carefully at first, then picking up the pace. After taking a deep breath, he leaned forward to take him back into his mouth. This time, Changbin allowed him to set his own pace, watching as Felix took him in halfway while using his hand to cover the rest.
"Unbelievable" Changbin muttered. "You're letting me use you just because I feel like it?"
His roommate didn't reply, picking up the pace at the words.
"What if I start using you whenever I want? You're gonna give me head just because I say so? Be a slut for me without getting anything in return?"
Felix moaned, then tried to deepthroat him again, though he didn't manage to fully reach the base on his own.
"And you're enjoying this. So pathetic." Changbin huffed.
He was moving his hips again, thrusting to meet Felix's movement. As he felt he was getting close, he grabbed Felix's hair once more. He pulled him back, using his other hand to cover the one on his length, moving Felix to jerk him off.
"Open your mouth" he commanded, to which the younger immediately obeyed.
White covered his face not long after, while he cought some drops with his tongue, most landed all over his face, some even landing in his hair.
Felix carefully opened his eyes, looking up at older standing above him.
Changbin released the grip in his hair, moving to pull up his pants instead.
"You better be there next time I'm stressed, got it?"

do you have any advice on creating for a fandom where the target audience is super small? i published my first jv fanwork the other day and although i obviously dont just do it for compliments/attention, im hesitant about continuing to create because it feels discouraging to be the only one interested in what i have to offer if that makes sense. i feel like leaguefic is not in demand at all in comparison to arcane and im not sure how to motivate myself… i love your work, thank you so much
To be perfectly honest, not bullshitting you at all here: I don't think there is a single-person fix for this. I have a share/discussion based brain and i generally thrive when doing most of my work within, at least, a private active community. A lot of times my motivation *for* finishing a complex painting or polishing up 10k+ words of something is that i want to be able to show other people what i see and what i like about certain things. Without that community aspect, i just tend to keep to myself and never evolve past drafts lol
Making art is hard. Especially if you have some sort of affective or emotional attachment to the subject. I think a couple years ago it wasn't so tasking, or at least it didn't feel so lonely, because fandoms tended to be more willing to leave indepth feedback or engage with things they liked on a daily basis -- but the culture of 'fast consumption' 'content mills' and 'neverending generated content' of the present decade has taught a lot of people to undervalue the work that goes into transformative projects.
This is why nowadays we see so many frequent calls reminding people to comment in fic, or actually hit the reblog button on some art they like, or even try to use long tags to express what they feel. The 'neverending content influx' marketing push has rendered broader audiences (and im including myself here, i'm not perfect) more apathetic, and more wiling to silently pass by things without a word, prioritizing the 'consumption' of 'large masses of content' rather than curiosity or engaging with a single thing for large amounts of time.
the TL;DR is that I don't think this is something you can fix on your own. It's an environmental issue. When I write, I'm doing so with the confidence that at least one person is really going to engage with it. (this can be a friend, or another internet person similarly lost in the digital desert, it varies.) The only way to rejuvenate a fandom ecosystem is to remind people to *try to give a tiny piece of their time* back to artists whose work they love, appreciate, or even mildly enjoy. It doesn't have to be HUGE extensive feedback everytime. If something made you chuckle for even a second, just try telling that to the person who made it. If you enjoyed reading something, or were amused by how someone wrote your favorite character, go tell them! right now! Try doing it a little bit of that every day! If everyone who sees this post went out right now to leave a word for a small creative they enjoy, we already would be so much better off. Communities are like orchid gardens; to get the special, unique, blooming flowers, you need a steady hand caring for them. We are all gardeners.

Those next couple of days were torture to Lucifer. As much as he wanted to go home, he wanted relief so badly, too. He felt as if every time you walked by, his dick would just ache in between his legs, confined in the tight slacks he wore.
“Lucifer,” You spoke up to grab his attention from the couch. He turned his head to look up at you near the front door. “I have to head to the store to pick up more things for the place. I never knew having a roommate would make supplies die so fast,” You playfully chuckled. “Do you want to come?”
Lucifer almost agreed; enjoying spending time with you, especially since he really didn’t have much to do anyway, but he realized that he could take advantage of the situation if he was alone for a short while. “I’ll be fine. I’m looking over something very interesting right now and would like to focus,” He responded. It was a lie.
“Awesome, I’ll be back soon,” You flashed a beautiful smile at him, then quickly left the apartment.
Now or never, Lucifer.
He waited a small bit, frozen, waiting to hear the footsteps fade and to find it safe enough to confirm that you weren’t coming back. When he felt comfortable enough with your absence, he quickly closed the books in front of him and pushed them aside. 
By the time he began unbuckling his belt, and quickly trying to take his cock out, he already felt himself getting hard with just the idea of being able to touch himself. Fuck, he hadn’t touched himself in so long. Had it really been that long without any pleasure? Well, he supposed it was due to him being in a different environment, focused on getting home, and not wanting the girl in the very small apartment to hear him quite possibly moaning her name.
Lucifer could push his pants and underwear down enough to let his semi free. The cool air wafting over it made him sigh in pleasure. Sure, he had to be naked to shower, so it wasn’t the first time his dick had been out there, obviously, but the feeling of freedom when he was aroused felt so good.
Lifting his shirt slightly, Lucifer grabbed his dick and started to rub his shaft slowly. A small groan from inside his throat slipped, the feeling that had been absent from him for such a long while felt so amazing. He could feel his cock become stiffer the harder he squeezed, and the more he rubbed. 
When he had found himself fully erect, he began to speed up his hand. Lucifer focussed on the tip for a small moment, rubbing his thumb over it and across his slit in a somewhat rough manner. His mouth fell agape, and he released a deep moan from the pleasure. 
Fuck, he thought, this feels so fucking good.
His hand slipped back down to his base as he firmly gripped himself and moved his hand up and down. Up and down, up and down, faster, faster, faster. 
Lucifer wasn’t sure how much time had passed or how loud he was moaning and groaning; frankly, he did not care. He just wanted to relieve himself. He wanted to come so badly. He wanted to feel the pleasure of his sticky semen shooting out of his cock and spilling over his hands and dripping onto his stomach.
“Fuck,” Lucifer grunted out, quickening his pace as he chased that feeling of elation. He felt it coming. “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” He began to pant, his chest heavily falling up and down as his hand squeezed tighter and tighter, making him feel so fucking good. So, so, so-
Then the door opened.
“Hey, Lucifer, can you help me-“ You walked inside, prepared to ask him for help with some of the bags you had, just to see him with his dick out and rubbing the shit out of it. “Lucifer!”
Lucifer turned to face you, yet, instead of the shock he felt he should’ve been feeling, he felt even better. Seeing your face, and hearing you shout his name, made him moan so hard as he came all over himself.
“What the fuck?” You screamed at the scene; immediately slapping a hand over your mouth, so you didn’t get a noise complaint from the neighbors. 
You quickly shoved your bags inside of your apartment and shut the door as fast as you could. Facing the couch, you still see Lucifer there with his dick out, rubbing it softly as his remaining cum spilled all over himself. His head was tilted back with his eyes closed as he took relaxed breaths. 
“Are you really going to sit there and pretend I’m not fucking here?” You stomped, hoping to get his attention.
Lucifer turned his head to you with half-lidded eyes and just smirked. “I actually like knowing you’re here, so don’t worry. I’m not pretending anything,”
Heat slowly ran up to your cheeks, unsure of what he meant by those words yet still feeling someone flattered by them. Stop, you thought to yourself. You should feel angry!
You stared at each for a short second. Lucifer, just smirking with his dick still in hand, and you were just trying to figure out what the fuck is happening. Soon, you snapped out of it and shouted again, “Put your fucking dick away! Don’t look at me like that!”
“Well, I have to clean up first,” He began. “Would you like to help me?”
Suddenly, you were choking on your saliva and coughing up a storm. “You’re a grown man, do it yourself!” You finalized before sprinting to your room and slamming the door. You could hear that idiot chuckling from the other room before hearing him get up and, what you assumed, cleaning his mess up.
Those words rang in your head as your mind went hazy after what had happened. Would you like to help me? Help how? You know what he was insinuating to. You played that game, he was in it enough for you to know his dirty-minded words.
Not only that, but you shouldn’t have liked it.

my stance on ships & shipping culture - a quick note
(please read before interacting!)
I'm seeing discourse in the AOT Tumblr niche ramp up once again (what would the AOT fandom be without harassment and discourse /s), so I want to put up this quick note to be linked in my pinned navigation post. Therefore, from now on, if someone sends an ask about ship discourse, it'll be clear whether or not they've read this post. Therefore that'll make it easier for me to see who respects my boundaries and who is and isn't worth my time.
This blog is primarily a Levi x Reader-insert/OC-insert/Self-ship blog. If you have a problem with this, save us both the time and energy, and just block me. If you harass me or anyone else who enjoys this type of harmless content, I will block you. This is not up for debate.
However, I am also a multi-shipper. You'll occasionally find that I reblog fanworks of Eruri, Levihan, Rivetra, Levifar etc, and that I tag all ship content so you can filter out the ones you may not like. I’m not a ‘proshipper’ though; for example, you won’t find any reblogs of fanworks involving a veteran character being with a recruit character in a romantic or sexual sense. However, I will never harass anybody for shipping a ship that I don't like, so I expect everyone from every corner of the fandom to return that same courtesy.
So please do not bring me into any ship discourse, I’m not interested in entertaining pointless debates over ships. I do not and never will condone harassment over people's opinions on fictional ships.
If somebody doesn't ship your OTP, or they ship something you personally do not like, that doesn't mean you have the moral high ground over them, and that certainly doesn't mean you can falsely accuse people of awful things or leave anonymous death threats in people's inboxes. Additionally, it's okay for your OTP to be fanon. The canon/fanon status of a ship doesn't make it better or worse than another ship. The sooner people accept this instead of twisting canon to suit a false narrative, the better. On that note, please don't send me long-winded, unsolicited asks about how a fanon pairing is 'actually canon if you read the subtext' whilst quoting 'facts' with no or incorrect sources. Let canon be canon and fanon be fanon. There's a difference, and a reason why they have separate labels. I'm not saying that you can't have a different interpretation of canon or the subtext, but I'm saying that not everybody will agree with you, and it doesn't automatically make your opinion the right or 'true' one.
I should also point out that the actions of a few bad apples is not representative of an entire ship community. For example, I have seen some people falsely assume the entire Eruri community are toxic based on the recent anons harassing Levi-centric blogs. This simply isn't true. The majority of shippers are very chill, but the toxic minority just happens to be the loudest. Let's not make assumptions about Eruri shippers or insult their OTP, because I have seen a few people do this in response to seeing the harassment, which I find incredibly hypocritical and unhelpful. Don't lose sight of the bigger picture - which is that we're all fans of the same thing and we all want to have fun in whatever way appeals to us.
Fandom is supposed to be fun, and I believe you should be focusing your energy on what you like rather than what you don't. Personally I think it's strange that these weirdo anons and harassers spend so much time and energy harassing people who don't ship their OTP, rather than using that time and energy to support creators who make fanworks of their OTP, or even creating some fanworks themselves. They care more about making other people miserable rather than fostering a positive community around their ships, and that is something I absolutely do not support or condone.
If you've read everything and have reached the end of this post, thank you for your time. If you fundamentally disagree with my stance, fine, but don't debate me on it. I've made it clear I won't change my mind on it, and you probably won't either, so I suggest you block me instead of starting a futile argument.

Tumblr media
Please at least give it a read! Liking this post also means it’s more likely I will follow back, as I know you have RAU’d.
Updated 04/24/2024
ABOUT:
Kar/Karmun/Karthonic either-or. If you'd rather separate mun/muse you can use my middle name, Asher to refer to me.
They/Them is cool.
From New York, so the timezone is EST.
Birthday’s January 1990, so 30+
Spoonie with AuDHD
Artist, and educator, so I can get busy. I commute, so I'm on the train for a few hours a day,
You can reach me on here or on discord. Just ask.
Personal blog @karthonic.
On mobile most of the time.
I left the Tumblr RPC 4 years ago so forgive me as I catch up with the new etiquette, etc.
GENERAL:
Above all else: Be Excellent to each other and party on, dudes!
This sounds redundant to post this but: If you have no intention of RPing with me don’t follow. Lurking for a bit before reaching out is fine, but I would like genuinely interested folks. Optional, but I've made an interest checker to help organize things.
This incarnation Kar is for SCIENCE FICTION/SPACE OPERA like verse. Her Contemporary/Urban Fantasy/Paranorma;/Supernatural self can be found at @obscurushydrae
While she's Star Wars Based,  don’t sweat it if you don’t know the other stuff. If your fandom/verse has a way in, I can finagle her into all sorts of place (she's literally an cosmic horror at heart).
That ‘selective’ part comes into play. I have every right to not follow someone, decline a roleplay, just as you do. Just be polite and respectful.
Crossover/AU/Multiverse/Self Insert friendly. Not your thing, then feel free to not follow.
There will be casual mentions of recreational drug use, more often than not mentions of alcohol than drugs, but will be tagged upon request. Other possible triggers are her fatalistic humor. 
This is not a content resource blog. If you’re here for the pretty pictures, aesthetics, or memes, this is not the blog for you.
Communication is key. My muse might be intimidating, but I'm not-- just very busy and on mobile more often than not. Don’t know something, or want me to elaborate: ask! I forgot a reply or not feeling a thing anymore, lemme know. I'm good.
Godmoding is discouraged but I’m not going to stop it. I will likely try to out ridiculous you Bugs Bunny style. Even though she can’t die, you���re free to try and kill her, but let me know first (either way she’s gonna be pissed FYI).
Most art is mine but will be credited. If I reblog any art reposted without the original creator’s permission, let me know. I’ll remove it.
IN CHARACTER:
Compatible Fandoms (ie I am Familiar with): Star Wars, Mass Effect, Borderlands, Alien/Predator, Dune, The Outer Worlds, Subnautica, No Man's Sky, Galaktikon, RaM, H2G2, and more!
Kar for the most part, is literally the Force. In a body. Raised by mortals, so she thought she was. And spent most of her life just vaguely gesturing and just going with "humanoid." Force sensitive characters might be able to sense her, but she can mask it.
As for appearance, unless you’re really looking you might notice the fangs. And for the most part, assume she’s wearing her signature sunglasses covering her eyes since those rarely are taken off in public.
While not usually brought up, but Kar has attempted to end her life and self-harmed. Nowadays it’s usually just masked with fatalistic humor, recreational drug use, and lots of drinking. 
SHIPPING:
Shipping is welcomed and willing to discuss the possibility, but I leave the rest to chemistry and just how we as writers write. Kar is into male muses, and will be polite about turning other people down, unless one doesn’t take the hint.
That being said, don’t ask to ship with me and just…drop off. I believe in mutual enthusiasm. If you're no longer interested, just communicate.
This blog is multiship, meaning each relationship is treated as its own separate place in the multiverse unless discussed and agreed upon.
Kar can be polifidelitous. She’s okay with having multiple partners and those partners having partners if your character is cool with it. But she can be selectively monogamous in your little bubble.
NSFW may be on here, or I might do it over discord. I'm playing it by vibes. As I don't really have any established romantic stuff since rebooting, I can't say with any certainty.
FOLLOWING/UNFOLLOWING:
Please don’t follow/interact if you’re under 21. If I follow anyone underage, it’s because I wasn’t able to access any about/ooc information, please don’t take it personally if I unfollow!
If I don’t follow you and you follow me, please just hit me up before doing something. Just because I don’t follow means I’m not interested, I just don’t think our characters mesh with the information given. If we chat about it, who knows!
If I follow you or like a post but not follow, it's likely because I want to check out your rules but can't find a mobile friendly/need time to look through things. If you follow back, I'll message as I don't want to overstep.
I don’t usually greet/interact with personal blogs, so side blogs off personals give me a heads up. Otherwise, I might miss you.
ASKS:
Askbox will only be open for IC interactions, save for when the meme specifies Mun. IMs are for OOC communication. Anon feature is for sideblogs, multimuses to interact ICly with me. Any Anon messages good or bad directed to the Mun (outside of memes) will be ignored.
No Magic Anons, please!
There’s no need to wait to send me a meme if you’ve followed me for 5 minutes or 5 months, send the thing.
Reblog Karma is going to be enforced on this blog. That is, if you reblog an ask meme off me, please send me one. Otherwise, reblog the meme from @karref
THREADS:
Jump on any open post, there’s no need to ask permission, they’re there for that reason!
I will be keeping my posts simple! I don't have the time/energy to make formatted posts, and I like to keep things as accessible as possible. I do try to keep track of the heavily plotted stuff, but the casual things might drop off. Feel free to remind me if it's been a bit!
Communicate! If you’re having trouble writing a reply, talk to me! If you don’t like or not feeling a thread, say so and drop the thread. That also doesn’t mean things are done for good. Come to me if you want to skip/do something else.
If you’d rather we move things to discord, just ask! I’ll set up a server just for us!
TAGGING/ HARD LIMITS:
Blood, Gore, Body Horror, Drugs, etc, will be tagged with (name); for instance drugs; . Special Tags on request.
Posts will be tagged upon request, just let me know!
If you read and understand this, I would appreciate if you'd leave a like the post, that way I know you have without forcing a password.
But if you'd like to message me, here's a DM icebreaker: What's your favorite extinct animal? (If you're lucky I may have cool fact about it.)
HOPE TO WRITE WITH YOU SOON! :D

Sample of Upcoming "Enhanced Edition" CHICON 2007 Solo Jensen Panel
This sample was removed when I updated the full video with drastically improved video quality. I did not recreate the sample, but you can find the full video here.
Original post:
This is just a small, 1+ minute segment of a larger video that I’ll probably post next week.  Thanks so much to the people who watched, reblogged, and/or liked the CHICON 2007 Enhanced Edition Breakfast video!  It made me super happy to see some interest, and I know that was mostly thanks to those of you who managed to stumble across my obscure post and reblog it so people would actually see it.
I’ve started working on the main panels involving Jared and/or Jensen from the same convention.  Jensen’s solo panel is next sequentially, so that’s what this sample is from.  This clip was one of my favorite parts from his panel.  I’m including Jared and J2 in the tags because Jensen talks about working with Jared here.
If you don’t have any particular interest in the subtitles, you can skip the wall of text below.
On this sample, I used a much lighter color of blue for Jensen’s subtitles.  The more I looked at the shade I'd been using, the more I thought it was too dark to be read easily.  It became more apparent to me while working on his solo panel because there’s so much more of it.  I’d be happy to get opinions, good or bad.  I was really attached to the idea of using blue for Jensen and red for Jared because of their marker tape colors, and I’m pretty sure the previous shade of blue was more accurate in that regard, but it’s far more important to me that the subtitles be readable than that they be symbolic!
If people like this color better, I’ll go back and update the subtitles for the Breakfast video to use the same color for Jensen.  Subtitles are a separate file from the video, so it’s not too difficult to make changes and switch the subtitle file out without affecting the video itself. 
Speaking of which, feel free to let me know if you catch any errors with the subtitles and I’ll fix them.  Also, if there’s a subtitle that I marked as [inaudible] and you’re confident that you know what they said, let me know.  There were parts I marked as [inaudible] even though I felt sure I could guess what they’d said based on the context, but I couldn’t hear any sounds or see any mouth movements to clearly confirm it.  I tried not to put words in their mouths that they might not have said, and I didn’t want to force my own interpretation on anyone.  Sometimes though, there were places where I felt like I should have been able to figure out what they were saying but I just couldn’t get the sounds to make sense to my ears, so someone else might be able to hear those.  Other times, I would hear something for the umpteenth time, often when I was focusing on some other aspect of the video and not thinking about the subtitles at all, and suddenly it would seem blatantly obvious to me what they were saying.
As far as issues with the videos themselves, I can’t easily change them after I publish them because it would create a new video link on YouTube and I'd rather not create a confusion of links.  However, please do still feel free to let me know if you catch any errors in my added content.  I’ll keep a list of errata for my own notes in case I ever do have a reason to update the video.  If it’s particularly egregious, I can at least put a note in the video description. (And since this is a sample, if you catch any issues, I can fix it for the full version.)

{Please check out my secondary blog @coffee-and-feathers 🩵🕊️}
☁️🪽🕊️ A Change 🕊️🪽☁️
Let me share the latest thoughts with you (which may or may not interest you, because it also includes my blog and it’s future, so stay tuned if you want to be up to date).
I am genuinely unhappy with my blog.
Don’t get me wrong: I still love Tumblr. I just don’t feel the community any longer.
——————————— 🪽
I created this blog last year in February and in the summer months, I was extremely active. I posted regularly about my WIPs, answered asks and had nice conversations with you guys.
But this changed at the end for the year spontaneously.
The reason: Not only were my mutuals more and more inactive, but I also felt more and more uncomfortable sharing details about my projects.
So I went quiet.
I tried to post about the work I do, the outlines of my writing routine, but something was missing.
All the tag games were for people who post their stories online or publish as an indie author. People who share their work freely without worrying about publisher deals and the terms and conditions with publishing through a publisher like Random House (even in Germany, Random House is the biggest publisher! They host agencies like Penhaligon, dtv, Carlsen, etc, simply any large publisher belongs to Random House).
This community wasn’t my community any longer.
Fast forward a few months, I found my joy again in Instagram. Posting photos and stories about my life, as a personal journal. Talking about university, computer science and books. Not creating a niche rather than posting what I wanted to post.
And with creating again on Instagram, I found back to Tumblr.
But it still doesn’t feel like my community. Like I belong here.
The tag games I was tagged in, were for indie authors and people on AO3. I don’t do AO3. I am done with Wattpad. I don’t want to publish in Self-Publish, if I don’t have to.
——————————— 🪽
But what is the point in telling you?
There is no point.
I just had to let it all out.
The same as with what I am telling you now:
I am no longer identifying as a pure writing blog. I don’t feel joy in it anymore. Most of the people I know from a year ago are inactive or otherwise occupied. I don’t have content to share. I don’t get doable tag games, nor asks.
It is time for me to change.
——————————— 🪽
I have a secondary blog @coffee-and-feathers. Please support me there with a follow, if you want to stay with me on my journey through life.
This secondary blog @coffee-and-feathers will be my personal site, where I post about stuff other than writing.
@orphicpoieses will stay my writing blog, my main blog, but no more “pressure” tags or “sharing just for visibility”. This will be more of a writing diary. Thoughts and updates about the progress.
No more pressure. Just fun.
I hope, to see you soon in the newest post either here or at @coffee-and-feathers.
Please, leave a like and a comment down below or reblog with your thoughts.
Love, Mimi 💭
PS: With leaving the old blog behind, I will also no longer have a tag list for specific games, etc. You either get tagged in everything or in none at all. The new tag list will be coming soon, so stay tuned.
Tagging to spread the news:

but you do have to admit that you write your 2k meta's mostly because you want (negative) attention? otherwise I don't understand why you are not writing more of your faves instead?
Sure! I can explain why I wrote this piece, which I assume is the reason you're asking this now.
I wrote it because I naturally had thoughts about the group dynamics of Bells Hells after the episode and started thinking about why this group is so disconnected this far into the campaign when, for example, the Mighty Nein, who had far more friction and conflict early on in the campaign, were positively ride or die by this point. I also really did genuinely find the degree of pressure that Imogen and Laudna have been putting on Fearne to be excessive and had been quietly thinking about it since episode 75 - they were the ones to initially make a big deal about "Emperor and Empress" (the fact that Ashton mentioned the party's positive reinforcement of the shard's retrieval being a factor in their choice is relevant here), I was reminded by someone else regarding Laudna's immediate shutdown of Fearne's attempt to tell the truth in episode 77, and then they called her out in front of everyone after she had expressed that she didn't want it to Morri. It made a clear pattern that I felt was interesting to explore, and in doing so I started asking myself if there were other patterns of behavior. I linked to someone else's post as well in there that talked about how Imogen and Laudna pretty much always act together in group discussions in my post because that was also an inspiration, and I've also talked a lot in the past about how Imogen and Laudna rarely bring up their own sources of conflict with each other, so the fact that their accusations towards Fearne are in the same scene where Imogen expresses disgust about Delilah's presence also is very relevant to their general group dynamics, since their own relationship with each other is very central to how they interact with the group.
I do write about my favorite characters as well. I wrote pretty extensively about Ashton after episode 78, as well as a bit about their conversation with Orym, but Ashton just had their big moment of explosion and I need to let that simmer or something else to happen before I have any longer posts. I've also, if not written anything myself, reblogged a lot of great posts about Chetney's fantastic reveal which I think tied up that whole exercise beautifully with a truth that was not a passive-aggressive accusation of others nor a self-flagellation but a realization of his own behaviors as well as an explanation to the group without expecting anything in return. In talking about the shard I did touch on my main feelings about Fearne in this situation but again I think I need to see how she actually reacts to the information she received here to actually have meta of substance, rather than "oh, interesting." And you can go through my archives if you'd like to see more; I'm usually pretty good about tagging by character.
But also: I like writing criticism, specifically. It is fun for me. I find that writing helps me arrange my ideas and understand them better, and sometimes I even change my opinion when I revisit the text or find my argument doesn't hold together on an intellectual level, even if I feel something emotionally. I've changed my mind about characters before through writing meta! Sometimes more positively, sometimes more negatively, but it happens, because the act of writing meta, if you do so well, is an act of interrogating your own pre-existing opinions and making sure they make sense to people who aren't you.
I also think there's value in writing things that aren't universally positive. Again, it forces you to actually think through what isn't working for you or what you dislike or what traits characters have that you think are causing problems for people around them rather than just saying UGH THIS SUCKS. But also, writing up how you'd fix a plot you don't like or how you'd resolve a conflict requires you have empathy for the creators or for the characters. Sometimes, even if a piece isn't, in your opinion, good, writing criticism of it helps you understand why a creator may have made that choice you didn't like. You can disagree or dislike something while still respecting it, and making yourself explain it to other people is a really good way to process your own feelings rather than stewing in them. I find people who never express any negativity openly are often deeply resentful and unpleasant and passive-aggressive. Indeed, that's arguably the whole point of that honesty exercise! This party keeps trying to smooth things over and so a lot of valid concerns or complaints they have about each other have since metastasized into something far more hurtful.
I can't speak for everyone, but a lot of meta writers write meta because it's genuinely a fun hobby for them. When I was writing my piece about Dimension 20's genre experiments I stayed up later than I should have several times because it was interesting and I wanted to make sure I didn't forget how I was planning out the piece. I like writing a lot, and I've always preferred to write essays and criticism to fiction - I like to think I have a knack for the former that doesn't come as naturally for the latter. My brain jumps to analysis more easily than the invention of plot.
If you don't like the things I chose to write about, that's completely valid. But I'm not doing it for negative attention. I'm doing it because it's enjoyable for me. How you respond to it and how it makes you, specifically, feel, doesn't enter into my consideration. It's 2k words because that's how long it took me to say what I was thinking and it's about Imogen and Laudna's effect on the group dynamic as I understand it because that's what I was thinking about since it was very present in this episode, and I wrote it because I like writing.
Hopefully that explains it!

I'll probably regret putting this in the tag but here it goes.
Last week I've seen different posts (not all in the tags, which, good) about ultrakill somehow complaining about shipping or fandom being horny and often there's a certain... connotation to it, that it's somehow doing it wrong or even that there's something morally reprehensible about it that is really grinding my gear.
I get it, ok? I like writing meta, I like gen content, I sometimes get weary of finding the same variations of a couple of premises in fanfic and art. But I want you to take some things into account.
One, Tumblr and AO3 are not "the fandom". Tumblr is a niche site with a niche audience and this is a fandom of limited size. Tumblr's Ultrakill tag is not representative of the Ultrakill fandom or even Ultrakill-related content.
And yes, Tumblr's particular audience prioritizes shipping, but that's going to sex shop and complaining they have dildos. You don't have to buy dildos. You don't have to like dildos. But there will be dildos. Lots of them. It's probably one of their best selling products. What did you expect.
In this fandom it's not even as uniform as people represent? I just opened the tag and there are several posts with nothing related to shipping, sex or relationships. I see memes, posts about gameplay, OCs, general drawings of characters, a couple AUs?
Assuming, however, that it was so horribly shipping dominated... Ok, you don't like it. People are engaging with fandom in the way they find fun and rewarding? These people are engaging in their off-time, they have no obligation to have the same priorities. Especially if they are going through the effort to make their own content. I may find "Gabriel's sexual awakening in the Heresy fight" an overused scene now, but if that particular writer wants to take their time to give their take on it it's none of my damn business.
I like metas, but nobody is under the obligation to write them or give a shit about mine. Not one of them has the reach of my dumb "homoerotic death threats" off-joke that somehow is my most popular post ever. Of course they don't. The competition is with a stupid funny post that people can easily reblog. It's almost like there's this idea that if sex/shipping was off the table the game's fandom would become this cerebral thing about high concepts and not memes and easy, digestible content for entertainment. The memes would just be more about carnage than gay sex, y'all.
And please, please, PLEASE remember that something can annoying, aggravating or even repulsive to you without being a moral issue. Hornyposting about a damn fictional robot is not a moral issue. It's not even a question of the fandom being more or less intelectual or focused on what the game is "really about" (as if that's something that could be specified, or that excludes sexuality in Ultrakill's case), since often people providing gen content and non-shipping analysis are the same that make the shippy and porny stuff.
I'm often out there talking about the lack of F/F content in other fandoms I'm part of, or pushing for more gen and analyses, but my intent and method has always been promotion of what I believe is lacking. You can push for something without making it a moral question, or people that have different interests your rhetorical adversaries.
All of this isn't targeted towards one person, but a small pattern I've noticed and I'd rather not see grow into the bizarre discussions I've seen in the past. Take from this reflection what you will. Ultimately, it's fandom, it's a leisure activity, and if nobody is doing anything harmful preference is just preference.

Alright y’all, we’ve gotta have a real talk.
I’ve realized a couple things in the last few days.
1. Far more of my followers are minors than I had realized.
2. The Prosaic Wonders SmallEtho fic I’m writing is going to be rated Explicit. There are just too many adult themes that I want to explore in this fic that I cannot scrub it to make a Teen or even Mature rating.
Now, point 1 isn’t, in & of itself, a problem. I don’t mind minors following me, as I don’t really post much that I think would be a problem here. So long as y’all keep in mind that I have been an adult longer than some of you have been alive, & respect my boundaries related to that fact, we should be fine.
However. For my own comfort & safety, I do not feel okay posting about a fic that’s going to be explicit on a blog with so many minors following me. & while the AU itself isn’t inherently explicit, for the sake of keeping things neatly organized & also maintaining my own sanity, I don’t think I can post about the AU at all here anymore.
So, going forward, I will not be posting Prosaic Wonders AU content on this blog.
I have made a different, separate blog where all that will be taking place. I’m not like hiding the blog, but I’m not going to just post the url here. If you are an adult & interested, feel free to send me a dm & I’ll send you the url.
If you are a minor, I have some ground rules about this whole situation that I ask you respect:
1. Do not follow, like, reblog, or interact with my nsfw blog in any way.
2. Do not interact with the explicit fic on AO3.
3. Do not try to talk to me about the explicit fic or the AU on this blog, via comments, tags, asks, or DMs.
4. Just like. Don’t in any way let me know that you are aware of this fic’s/AU’s existence.
I’m not an idiot. I remember what it’s like to be a teenager, even if that was dizzyingly long time ago. While I’d rather you just not read this fic or find my adult content blog, I know that I cannot actually stop you from doing what you’re going to do because I am not there in person to physically wrench the keyboard from your hands or throw your phone out a window the second you click on something you shouldn’t.
But I can hold these boundaries firm. So if I see you breaking any of those ground rules, I will have to block you. I don’t say this to be mean; I say this because I would be extremely uncomfortable & would feel very unsafe if you did these things, & I have to maintain distance from anyone who breaks my boundaries.
If you are a minor & you were excited about this fic/au, I am really sorry about this confusion/miscommunication.
I hadn’t realized when I started posting about it that this fic was going to come into being, much less that I would feel compelled to make it my first nsfw fic. & even once I realized I wanted those sorts of scenes in it, I still was thinking I could just make them like. Bonus scenes in a separate fic or something, so I could give the longfic a lower rating. But yesterday, I was working on the outline & realized there is no way I can do that without also throwing out one of the big conflicts of the piece & I am not going to make that compromise for the first thing I’ve actually felt like writing & committing to in forever.
I’m sorry if this is disappointing, but thank you, genuinely, for your understanding.

Slight Changes for 2023
Life changes and next year, I'll be graduating from uni so I need to focus on my real-life goals and well-being. I love my Muses and the friends I've made here but these days, things are getting rather exhausting and I need to focus on what is important.
I've made an application while my dash presence has been reduced. It is for those who want to ship. It also explains how the Muses will now behave on dash while I'm busy.
Reblogs will be done once or twice a week when I have the time and be run on a queue to try and keep on top of it all. If a post is time sensitive or super important then I'll be more proactive about interacting with it but otherwise, everything will just be a tad slower on dash.
I will reblog ask games now and again and MAYBE make posts for certain muses. DM's will be more active to make up for my absence on dash but I will be reaching out to everyone who I currently have chats with and seeing if they are still interested or working things out. If you are no longer interested, please just let me know - it's really not that deep or big of a deal.
My tag list will be reduced and changed and the Muses' profiles will be adjusted. Those who have been consistent and around for them will be added as important people and the Muses that aren't going to be dash active will ONLY interact with those people. If you want to be a part of the tag list moving forward - please reblog this post otherwise you'll be removed.
If you're removed from my tag list - I will NOT interact with you as this will be the tag list I use and engage with while busy with life.
Christmas presents (or messages) will be sent out before Christmas.
This part is something SERIOUS and is a PSA to others. Take it as you will, ignore it if you want, it is up to you but I just feel like people deserve to know. There is a discord server where admins are 'venting' about other admins and it seems it's a very 'selective' server so it's not a friendly place to meet and talk to your fellow admins but a place to shit-talk and spread rumours about admins and tell people not to engage on it. It was brought to my attention and yes, I found out I'm on there and it is for something that I didn't do but someone has been saying I did. At the end of the day, this is a 'he said, she said' situation and if people want to believe these stories without getting both sides, then that is their choice. There is apparently a 'DNI' list made by several people and a channel to shit talk. This is what I've been told and again, you can take it as you will. This community has had its share of those 'tea time' bots and this isn't really that different honestly - except it's not inclusive to everyone in the community. This is meant to be fun but some people are treating this place like it's a lifestyle or making it a less-than-fun experience for others.
If there's anything anyone wants to talk about, if you want to just talk as admins or plot build or ANYTHING - I'm always happy to make friends and get to know those I write with. You can either message me on @adminnie or on my discord ayla#3725
Take care and be safe, everyone
