#taking place after their last texts

[thenarrativefoil]

remember that all your successful creative friends had parents who paid for their college or at least supported them through it and have continued to support them afterwards and that being unemployed is not a moral judgement oh my god

#text #SOMEBODY INTERVIEW ME. #im abt to just start showing up to places. idk. sabotaging other people so i can take their job. oh my god. #i didnt just see new photos of a highschool friend who immediately found a new acting job after losing their last one

[doubledyke]

thinkin about edd today

#apparently im one of those fans that loves to torture edd #but it aint my fault his parents dont love him #i imagine eddy's mom knows hes alone a lot and invites him to join them for thanksgiving but he's like #“i have no idea what youre talking about mrs. mcgee my parents who definitely love me are home right now yes indeedy” #then he goes home to heat up his little free range turkey and whole wheat stuffing and eats alone at a big empty table #if he's feeling dangerous he might eat on the couch and watch PBS #after dinner he calls eddy who regales him with stories about fucked up relatives #and he almost considers himself lucky for not having a close-knit family #i kinda picture edd moving to pc from out of state so his extended family doesn't live close #of course his parents might get the occasional holiday off so im sure he's not alone every year but #idk i've embarrassed myself before by sharing my thoughts about edd's parents and i'm sure it won't be the last #i'd like to write a long overly dramatic fic about a day in his life that takes place in the timeline of the show #but im knee deep in angst as it is #text

Mini Fanfic #1114: Morning Text with GF (RWBY)

Ruby: So you n Pyrrha are gonna take some therapy sessions for mow on?

Oscar: Yep. And get this.

Oscar: Turns out that Ms. Goodwitch has been psychologist thus whole time

Ruby: No surprise there really

Ruby: She did had the side job of being academy psychologist on some occasions

Ruby: Which is kinda funny considering she used to scare the crap out of a lot of students with the death glare alone lol

Oscar: Kinda makes me glad I haven't gotten on her worse side yet

Ruby: Oh I wouldn't worry about that too much

Ruby: Can't imagine Mother Goodwitch ever being mad at her baby farmboi for long!~

Oscar: Yeah, unless I get involved with your antics.

.......................................................................................

Ruby let's out a loud, dramatic gasps before pouting and texting back.

.......................................................................................

Ruby: Excuuuuuse u!?

Ruby: I'll have u know that I have been a wonderful influence over the years

Oscar: Yeah, tell that to the ghost of Ozpin

Oscar: Last I checked, you were a real piece of work in the acemdey days lol

Ruby: Um correction! Yang was a real piece of work

Ruby: I had been nothing but an innocent, angel- 😇

Oscar: Sure you are, Rose. Sure you are.

Ruby: Oh forget it! This shouldn't even be about right now.

Ruby: What I REALLY wanna talk about is how you've gotten so lucky into having an aunt, two dads, and three moms in ur life

Ruby: U kno, besides being the the biggest sweetheart on the face of this planet~

Ruby: Also, Emerald too I guess

Oscar: Hey, you actually include her for something for once lol

Ruby: Yeah, yeah how nice of me. She's still on my "I Don't Trust" List.

Oscar: I know, but at least try to get along one another, even if it's for a tiny bit

Ruby: I try for u

Ruby: Just don't expect us to be the bestest friends 9r whatever, 'kay?

Ruby: I already have a lot of besties as it is and one of them is my sweetheart of a boyfriend 😘

Oscar: Best friend and Boyfriend? I'm already feel honored already~

Oscar: But to answer your question, I guess is as good as mines on thar one really lol

Oscar: I'm just happy to have them all in my life right now

Oscar: That includes you too, Ruby ;)

Ruby: D'awwwww!~ Now I'm feeling honored~

Ruby: And I'm really glad things are going well for you guys as of late, especially after all the hell we've all been through in the past.

Oscar: Thanks. I can say the same for you guys as well.

Oscar: Hang on. I have to take a call for a sec.

Ruby: At 8 in the morning?

Oscar: It's technically 8: 54 am right now, but yeah. BRB!

..........................................................................................

Oscar: (Quickly Answers the Call) Hello? Oscar's speaking.

Glynda: (On the Other Line) Good Morning, Oscar.

Oscar: Morning, mom- I-I mean! Ms.... Goodwitch.

Glynda: (Giggles Softly) Honestly~ There's no need for to be formal every time we talk to another. We agreed that I would take role of your mother figure and I really don't mind you treating me as such.

Oscar: ('Sigh') I know. Force of habits can do that to you sometimes. Anyways, how are you today?

Glynda: I'm doing well all things considered. How about you and the others?

Oscar: We're doing alright....for the most part.

Glynda: Oscar.....Your voice is sounding troubled right now. Is something the matter?

Oscar: It's.....(Takes a Deep Breath Before Speaking Again) Okay, so....try not to freak out or anything, but....Pyrrha and I had bad dreams last night.

Glynda: Oh no..... A-Are you two okay? What were you dreaming about if you don't mind me asking.

Oscar: We were dreaming about the past. And how unpleasant it truly was for both of us......... B-But don't worry! We were able keep each other company or the night along with Jaune, Ren, and Nora and everything went smoothly from there. Also, we gave it some thought and.....We figured it's about time we give your therapy sessions a try.

Glynda: You will? Truly?

Oscar: Yep. (Starts Rubbing The Back of his Head Back and Forth) Though, to be honest, I'm.....starting to get nervous about the whole thing.

Glynda: It's normal to feel anxious about taking part in this sort of ordeal. But I will do everything I can to make sure that our sessions would be more calming and less Intimidating.

Oscar: (Smiles Sheepishly) You really don't have to go out of your way to do that for me. Bur I appreciate it all the time.

Nora: (In the Kitchen) Is that Glynda on the phone!Phone!? Tell her we're making pancakes!!!!

Ren: And Good Morning!

Nora: Oh yeah and that too. MOOOOORNING!!~

Oscar: You heard that right-

Glynda: ('Sigh') I've heard it, yes. It's somewhat nice to see some things haven't changed.

Oscar: Was Nora always a troublemaker back at the acemdey?

Glynda: She wasn't as bad as Ms. Rose in comparison, but she is a close second. I swear, after all these years, she still goes around claiming she's queen of some castle or whatever.

Oscar: Yeah l, she tends to do that here. But anyways, do you wanna eat breakfast with us? I know you have busy schedule on your hands, but-

Glynda: Actually, I'm free for the rest of thr day.

Oscar: You don't say? If that's the case, why not spend the rest of the day with us? You are part of this family after all.

Glynda: And I'm very honored to be here~ In the meantime, I'll get myself ready. You make sure your queen doesn't try eating all the pancakes.

Oscar: I'm sure Ren has it covered from here.

Ren: Nora, I told you not to taste the batter!

Nora: And I told you that my tummy has no knowledge of being patient!

Oscar:........Hopefully. I'll be sure to tell the others that you're coming over.

Glynda: Very well. I'll see you in a few. I love you.

Oscar: I love you too, mom. Later.

As the call comes to an end, Oscar resume back to texting his girlfriend.

...........................................................................................

Oscar: I've returned!!

Ruby: Welcome back, stranger!~

Ruby: How's the calling session?

Oscar: Pretty good. Ms Goodwitch is coming over to our house for breakfast

Ruby: No way. She finally got herself a free day today?

Oscar: Yep. And she's gonna spend it with us for the rest of the day

Ruby: Awww~ Bet you're real excited about that now, huh?

Oscar: Yeah, it's been a while since we've hangout with one another, so there's no way i couldn't be anymore excited about it than I am now lol

Runy: Neat!

Ruby: Mind if I tag along with u guys? I'm free too~

Oscar: Sure, but try to behave yourself, yeah?

Oscar: We don't want your former professor to blow a casket over your troublemaking

Ruby: I am a good student damnit!

Ruby: I swear, you get involved in one measly food fight in the cafeteria abd you're suddenly labeled for life! It's blows! 😡

Oscar: Hey, that's what happens when you make history. Everyone will remember what you did no matter how hard you want them to forget.

Ruby: Uh huh.

Ruby: In the meantime, I'd better get myself ready to come to your house in a while

Ruby: Why don't you get yourself nice and handsome for me, will ya?

Oscar: Why? So you could kiss me all over?

Ruby: Damn right!~ :D

Ruby: ...........Or rather, I hope I could do that without getting caught by ur moms.....

Oscar: Is the great huntress Ruby Rose, getting scared of a couple of moms already?~

Ruby: NO!

Ruby: I just...

Ruby: Wanted to make a good impression on them is all.

Oscar: Lol right

Oscar: I wish you the best of luck with that, dear~

in theory my bisexuality is split pretty evenly re: preference for men vs. women. maybe 55/45 in favor of women. and then i actually interact with men.

#(i'm attracted to nb folks too but idk how the math works out when i include y'all) #like. there are so many guys out there who would be so wonderful to be around if they could dial back the male entitlement #oh my goddd i told this dude multiple times i don't want to have anyone over at my apartment bc it's messy #like let's go take the ferry or go to a movie or something like we LITERALLY TALKED ABOUT DOING #literally the last 10 minutes of our “date” was me trying to convince this man i don't want to go to anyone's apartment next time we hang #“let's go see a broadway show” “let's go to a park ANY PARK outside” #eventually i landed on “ok i will LET YOU KNOW” #the next day: “so here's a list of documentaries we can watch at your place” -_- #documentaries was a CONCESSION like that is my least favorite genre of film. “spooky documentaries” was all we could agree on asldfkj #i've been making a concerted effort to not ghost people but i'm making an exception bc i cannot #this whole experience. y'all i was never interested in this guy! he asked for my number after our meetup event and i was like ???? #we talked a bit but i didn't think we vibed at all. but i'm trying to meet new people so i was like fuck it let's hang #next time i'm telling people i don't text and they can catch me at the next meetup event lmao #m.txt

Those boots from Hell that I think are so cute, I gave to my sister last night. Got to talking about Christmas presents with my mom earlier, this morning, and I'm wondering if maybe I should've put a bow or two on them and said "merry Christmas."

Too late now. Her face lit up when she realized that they would probably make her the tallest of her friend group. They're white heeled boots with black platform soles and black laces. So cute, but I walk too damn much for them.

#was literally sobbing the other night trying to get home #I normally keep pace with Google Maps and ETA was 2:11 AM #Mom picked me up at 2:50 AM from the side of the road #I was taking the tiniest of baby steps #it was SO bad #I threw them on because i didn't think i would do that much walking on Wednesday #*public transportation has entered the chat* #every time i think I'm not gonna walk a ton I'm ALWAYS wrong #was mostly out that late in the first place because my feet were starting to hurt so i texted for a ride and was waiting for Mom to respond #but the gym had to close eventually so i had to head home #and Mom apparently saw my texts and texted back at 2:03 AM sometime after the last bus of my commute dropped me off #and later told me that SHE HAD WAITED FOR ME TO RESPOND and started looking for me because I WASN'T RESPONDING and I hadn't come home yet #she was worried i was kidnapped or something #meanwhile: she hasn't paid my phone bill in like two years #she said she would through college #flakey-ass bitch #anyway #the shoes aren't actually from Hell #they're from Rhapsodyelle #dunno if i spelled that right #only store I've ever been into where it's CLEAR that the interior design was done by someone neurodivergent #as a fellow neurodivergent person i respect that #the clothes were organized by color and they had the sunlight-mimic light bulbs that I've only ever heard of in an Invader Zim fanfiction #raine's daize #rhapsodyelle #shoes #merry holidays #neurodivergent #autism

[ktempestbradford]

I have been on a Willy Wonkified journey today and I need y'all to come with me

It started so innocently. Scrolling Google News I come across this article on Ars Technica:

At first glance I thought what happened was parents saw AI-generated images of an event their kids were at and became concerned, then realized it was fake. The reality? Oh so much better.

On Saturday, event organizers shut down a Glasgow-based "Willy's Chocolate Experience" after customers complained that the unofficial Wonka-inspired event, which took place in a sparsely decorated venue, did not match the lush AI-generated images listed on its official website.... According to Sky News, police were called to the event, and "advice was given."

Thing is, the people who paid to go were obviously not expecting exactly this:

But I can see how they'd be a bit pissed upon arriving to this:

It gets worse.

"Tempest, how could it possibly--"

source of this video that also includes this charming description:

Made up a villain called The Unknown — 'an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls'

There is already a meme.

Oh yes, the Wish.com Oompa Loompa:

Who has already done an interview!

As bad (and hilarious) as this all is, I got curious about the company that put on this event. Did they somehow overreach? Did the actors they hired back out at the last minute? (Or after they saw the script...) Oddly enough, it doesn't seem so!

Given what I found when poking around I'm legit surprised there was an event at all. Cuz this outfit seems to be 100% a scam.

The website for this specific event is here and it has many AI generated images on it, as stated. I don't think anyone who bought tickets looked very closely at these images, otherwise they might have been concerned about how much Catgacating their children would be exposed to.

Yes, Catgacating. You know, CATgacating!

I personally don't think anyone should serve exarserdray flavored lollipops in public spaces given how many people are allergic to it. And the sweet teats might not have been age appropriate.

Though the Twilight Tunnel looks pretty cool:

I'm not sure that Dim Tight Twdrding is safe. I've also been warned that Vivue Sounds are in that weird frequency range that makes you poop your pants upon hearing them.

Yes, Virginia, these folks used an AI image generator for everything on the website and used Chat GPT for some of the text! From the FAQ:

Q: I cannot go on the available days. Will you have more dates in the future? A: Should there be capacity when you arrive, then you will be able to enter without any problems. In the event that this is not the case, we may ask you to wait a bit.

Fear not, for this question is asked again a few lines down and the answer makes more sense.

Curious about the events company behind this disaster, I took myself over to the homepage of House of Illuminati and I was not disappointed.

I would 100% trust these people to plan my wedding.

This abomination of a website is a badly edited WordPress blog filled with AI art and just enough blog posts to make the casual viewer think that it's a legit business for about 0.0004 seconds.

Their attention to detail is stunning, from how they left up the default first post every WP blog gets to how they didn't bother changing the name on several images, thus revealing where they came from. Like this one:

With the lovely and compact filename "DALL·E-2024-01-30-09.50.54-Imagine-a-scene-where-fantasy-and-reality-merge-seamlessly.-In-the-foreground-a-grand-interactive-gala-is-taking-place-filled-with-elegant-guests-i.png"

"Concept.png" came from the same AI generator that gets text almost, but not quiiiiiite right:

There are a suspicious number of .webp images in the uploads, which makes me think they either stole them from other sites where AI "art" was uploaded or they didn't want to pay for the hi-res versions of some and just grabbed the preview image.

The real fun came when I noticed this filename: Before-and-After-Eventologists-Transformation-Edgbaston-Cricket-Ground-1024x1024-1.jpg and decided to do a Google image search. Friends, you will be shocked to hear that the image in question, found on this post touting how they can transform a boring warehouse into a fun event space, was stolen from this actual event planner.

Even better, this weirdly grainy image?

From a post that claims to be about the preparations for a "Willy Wonka" experience (we'll get to this in a minute), is not only NOT an actual image of anyone preparing anything for Illuminati's event, it is stolen from a YouTube thumbnail that's been chopped to remove the name of the company that actually made this. Here's the video.

If you actually read the blog posts they're all copypasta or some AI generated crap. To the point where this seems like not a real business at all. There's very specific business information at the bottom, but nothing else seems real.

As I said, I'm kinda surprised they put on an event at all. This has, "And then they ran off with all our money!" written all over it. I'm perplexed.

And also wondering when the copyright lawyers are gonna start calling, because...

This post explicitly says they're putting together a "Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory Experience" complete with golden tickets.

Somewhere along the line someone must have wised up, because the actual event was called "Willys Chocolate Experience" (note the lack of apostrophe) and the script they handed to the actors about 10 minutes before they were supposed to "perform" was about a "Willy McDuff" and his chocolate factory.

As I was going through this madness with friends in a chat, one pointed out that it took very little prompting to get the free Chat GPT to spit out an event description and such very similar to all this while avoiding copyrighted phrases. But he couldn't figure out where the McDuff came from since it wasn't the type of thing GPT would usually spit out...

Until he altered the prompt to include it would be happening in Glasgow, Scotland.

You cannot make this stuff up.

But truly, honestly, I do not even understand why they didn't take the money and run. Clearly this was all set up to be a scam. A lazy, AI generated scam.

Everything from the website to the event images to the copy to the "script" to the names of things was either stolen or AI generated (aka stolen). Hell, I'd be looking for some poor Japanese visitor wandering the streets of Glasgow, confused, after being jacked for his mascot costume.

HE LIVES IN THE WALLS, Y'ALL.

Listen to your elders

So last week I posted abut the importance of downloading your fic. And then three days later AO3 went down for 24 hours. No one was more weirded out by this than I was. But while y’all were acting like the library at Alexandria was on fire I was reading my download fic and editing chapter eight of Buck, Rogers, and the 21st Century. And also thinking about what I could do to be helpful when the crisis was actually over.

So first off, I’m going to repeat that if you’re going to bookmark a fic, you really need to also download the fic and back it up in a safe place. I just do it automatically now and it’s a good habit to get into.

But let’s talk about some other scenarios. Last October I lost power for over a week after hurricane Ian. Apart from not having internet or A/C I did find plenty to do, I collect books so I had plenty to read, but maybe, unlike me, your favorite comfort reads aren’t sitting on a bookshelf. So let’s do something about that, shall we?

In olden times many long years ago around 1995 we printed off a lot of fic. It was mostly SOP to print a fic you planned to reread and stick it in a three ring binder. And that’s totally valid today too, but you can also make a very nice paperback with a minimum amount of skill and materials.

Let’s start with the download; Go to Ao3 and select your fic, we’ll be working with one of mine. This method works best with one shots, long fic tends to need a more complicated approach. Get yourself an HTML download

Open up the HTML download and select all then copy paste into any word processor. Set the page to landscape and two columns, then change the font to something you find easy to read, this is your book, no judgement. This is all you have to do for layout but I like to play a little bit. I move all the meta, summary, notes to the end and pick out a fun font for the title: 

No time like the present to do a quick proofread. Congratulations, you’ve just created your first typeset. On to the fun part.

Now you’re going to need some materials:  8.5x11in paper ruler one sheet of 12x12 medium card stock (60-80lb) scissors pencil pen or fine tip marker sheet of wax paper white glue two binder clips 2 heavy books or 1 brick butter knife

You’ll also need a printer, if you’re in the US there is almost a 100% chance your local library has a printer you can use if you don’t have your own. None of these materials are expensive and you can literally use cheap copy paper and Elmers glue.

Print your text block, one page per side. Fold the first page in half so that the blank side is inside and the printed side out:

use the butter knife to crease the edge. Repeat on all the sheets. When you’ve finished, stack them up with the raw edge on the left and the folded edge on the right. I used standard copy paper, because you’re only printing on one side there’s no bleed to worry about. Take the text block and line everything up. Use the binder clips to hold the raw edge in place.

Wrap the text block in the wax paper so that the raw edge and binder clips are facing out. I’m going to use my home built book press but you don’t need one, a brick or a couple of books or anything else heavy will work fine.

Once the text block is anchored down, take off he binder clips and get out the glue.

You can use a brush but you don’t need one, smear some glue on that raw edge.

Go make a margarita, watch The Mandalorian, call your mother. Don’t come back for at least an hour

In an hour smear some more glue on there and shift your brick forward so that the whole book is covered. This keeps the paper from warping. While glue part 2 is drying we’ll do the cover. Get out your 12x12 cardstock

Mark the cardstock off at 8.5 inches and cut it. Measure in 5.5 inches from the left and put in a score line with the butter knife (the back edge not the sharp edge)

Carefully fold the score line, this is your front cover. You have some options for the cover title, you can use a cutting machine like a cricut if you have one, you can print out a title on the computer and use carbon paper to transfer the text to the cardstock. I was in a mood so I just freehanded that beoch. Pencil first then in pen.

Take your text block out from under your brick. Line it up against the score mark and mark the second score on the other side of the spine

Fold the score and glue the textblock into the cover at the spine. Once the glue dries up mark the back cover with the pencil and then trim the back cover to fit with your scissors.

Voila:

I’m going to put this baby on the shelf next to the Silmarillion.

The whole process, not counting drying time, took less than an hour.

If you want to make a book of a longer fic, I recommend Renegade Publishing, they have a ton of resources for fan-binders.

if you are new at being an adult/living on your own (especially if you started out adulthood or post grad life during the early days of the pandemic) and feel lonely despite having friends and people you talk to, please invite people to hang out at your place. this sounds like stupid advice but not enough people take it to heart. “oh we’re not that close” that’s how you get that close!!! I cannot emphasize enough how much your friends don’t care if you have socks on the floor or some dishes in the sink or a cramped apartment that doesn’t look very nice or some central activity to keep them entertained. invite people over. don’t limit yourself to things that cost money and exist only in public. let yourself be with people in the intimacy of your own home. the number of times a friend has come over and just started doing the dishes for me or I’ve sat matching socks while they folded their laundry on the floor. let them bring some snacks instead of venmoing each other for takeout. provide some tea or alcohol or whatever you like and can afford. you don’t need an excuse to see people. you don’t need an excuse to let them see you.

#in college I went to a friend’s apartment to play board games and she didn’t have a table #or chairs. but she had two margarita machines. and we sat on the floor drinking margs #and doing a terrible job at playing settlers of catan #in grad school a friend came over and a whole rack of clothes fell on her and we laughed until we cried #and she makes fun of me for how messy that room was #last year a friend from childhood stayed with me after my graduation party #and we sat on the couch taking naps and half watching TV for a whole day while the place was a mess #when my bf and I first moved in we tried to go to a bar with friends but everything was full #it was like. comical how many places were booked for private events #so everyone drove to our place and stopped on the way for drinks and food #and we dragged in patio furniture from the balcony #and shared chairs and spots on the floor #people just want to be somewhere safe with their friends #mine #text post #life advice #life lessons #being an adult is hard

Featuring: Gojo Satoru, Ryomen Sukuna, Choso Kamo + Toji Fushiguro 

authors note: I re-wrote this like 10 times so pls ignore any mistakes. also, me posting everyone but Geto on his birthday is criminal...

☾ CHOSO KAMO 

“Haha! I got the kill! Finally,” You cheer. “Oh shit, someone's chasing me.” You move your controller, focused on getting yourself to safety, ignoring your boyfriend who's underneath your desk eating you out like a starved man.  

Choso just wants to make you cum. He knows he's in the doghouse for what he did last night so he’s trying to make it up to you. He didn’t know you were going to treat him like some common whore though. You won’t even acknowledge that he’s eating you out on the cold hard floor. He wants to scream but he knows you’d be even more angry, so he makes it his mission to make you cum so hard you have no choice but to talk to him.  

He sucks your clit harder, rubbing his fingers inside your gummy walls. You clench around them but show no sign on the outside that you’re about to cum. He knows his girl though. Knows you better than you know yourself. He smirks into your clit. 

“Shit—oh fuck—they won’t get off my tail—oh my god!” You scream at the game, trying and failing to mask your pleasure. Choso adds another finger into your cunt, stretching you good you almost drop the controller on his head.  

Choso picks up the pace, sucking on your clit so hard he’s scared he might leave a bruise—and finally, you acknowledge him.

“m’gonna cum! Choso!” you cry, reaching down to pull his hair as you cum all over his face.

☾ RYOMEN SUKUNA 

“Look at me!” You cry, kissing up and down his shaft before taking him back into your mouth You go as deep as you can before gagging. You pull back up and suck on his tip. You look up at Sukuna who doesn’t even look affected, staring at the TV. You dig your nails into his thighs. He doesn't react. 

“Kuna!” You scream, grabbing his jaw and forcing him to look down at you. He stares at you with disinterest. “What?” 

“Why aren’t you paying attention to me?” You hiccup, sitting back on your knees and grabbing his cock. You squeeze it. 

“You want my attention little one?” He grins down at you. You sniffle and nod, bending down to kiss the tick of his cock. He pats you head and you almost cry in relief.  

“Oh, so damned touch starved—upset ‘ve been ignoring you? I apologize little one. I'll make it up to you.” He grabs your head with both hands, guiding you to his cock. You open your mouth and take him in again. He grunts, pushing you to the hilt even as you gag and try to pull yourself up. He lifts your head back up before slamming it down on his cock. You claw at his thighs. “Giving you all my attention now. Gonna face fuck you ‘til you don’t remember your fucking own name.” 

☾ GOJO SATORU 

Satoru holds onto your thighs as he pushes his leaky cock into you. He needed this so bad after the day he had. He didn’t even pay mind to what you were doing before throwing his clothes off and climbing onto the bed. 

“Fuck—Feel good, Angel?” Gojo questions as he thrusts into you from his place above you. You don’t hear him though, too busy texting your friend about the latest drama that happened in your friend group.  

“Angel, did you hear me?” Satoru moves his hands from your waist to your tits. He pinches hard. You grunt, the grip on your phone wavering. Satoru’s harsh thrusts distract you for a second before you come back to your senses and read your friend's text. ‘Why are you making so many spelling mistakes LOL?’ You grin, clicking the camera and turning it to Satoru who looks down at you half angry and half pussy drunk. You snap a blurry picture of his sweaty abs and V-line before clicking send. Your friend laughs. 

“Angel,” Satoru whines grabbing your phone. “Stop treating me like some crapy dildo machine!” He holds the phone over his head with one hand, the other holding you down by the tummy. 

“Toru! I was having an important conversation,” You moan, wrapping your legs around his hips, digging your heels into his ass. He grunts his heavy hand on your tummy moving to squeeze your side. “Please, baby? Just gotta send one more text then I'm all yours—promise.”  

☾ TOJI FUSHIGURO 

You hold onto Toji’s bicep as you ride his thigh. You grind your pussy harder onto his leg, making sure your clit drags over the hard material of his pants. You moan and look down at the dark patch your slick is making. 

“Can you quiet down princess? Need to finish this application and you're distracting me.” Toji says, erasing the sentence he knows is incomprehensible. You moan louder. Throwing your head back and arching your tits up in his face. He grunts, turning to the side to rewrite his response.  

You huff, if he wants to play like that. "You better not ask me to get you off later today.” You grumble, moving your own hands up to twist and tug your nipples. Your legs tighten around his thick thigh. You feel yourself getting closer.  You grind down harder, pussy clenching around nothing.  

“Gonna cum! Ahh—feels so good, you feel s’good!” You slur, legs shaking as an orgasm washes over you. You slump down against Toji’s big chest. Toji’s face heats. He doesn't know whether to be pissed off or turned on that you just came all over his thigh like that. He grumbles something inaudible, bringing a hand down to grab a handful of your ass as he presses submit. “Oh, you’re fucking on princess.”

Need to figure out what time the tattooed, jacked, in her late 40s probably, totally fucking awesome, so fucking friendly, only wears hot pink workout gear, so fucking sexy lady goes to the gym so I can figure out her schedule so that I can't avoid her so that I don't fall in love with her.

#im a gay person who is a woman who loves women who must not fall in love with THIS particular woman #i have a bad hisotry with jacked so beyond far out out my age range not appropriate women #flashbacks to 15 year old me almost texting that grown in her 30 gym instructor who gave me her number after she asked for mine #and I was like ehhhhh im 15 I know this is wrong why don't you take MY number instead #dont worry I blocked her and whatever #but I came damn close to calling her at like 3am #bc I was 15 #and she was old #and hot #and jacked #and somewhat interested in me #and I had only JUST started to up the signs together that I was not straight #and I was 15 #and this took place in saudi arabia #like #it was a lot #point is #not falling into that again #last time #not on me #i was 15 #this time? #my stupid ass might try to instigate it #not that I think this very nice lady will ever be into me #but still #i should stay away
