From this sinday HC meme here!
VIVIENNE AND DERYA 🧑🤝🧑🧑🤝🧑how do they feel about having multiple partners at once? have they ever done it?: Vivienne is a bit selfish, and refuses to share with multiple people. Derya has never tried it before, her experience was limited.
WYATT'S CARIA 🪢do they have a kink? if so, what is it?: She doesn't have any particular kinks but is the sort of girl who would love to learn and indulge in her partner's kink (in other words, Wyatt's kinks).
EMINE AND IMANI 💸have they ever or would they ever accept money or gifts in exchange for sex?: Neither of them has accepted anything for it, and neither of them would ever.
AZRA 🍆how do they feel about toys? do they have any? what’s their favorite? do they use them with partners?: She has some toys, doesn't have a favorite, but she would use them with a partner if she truly wanted to.
CARINA 🌙do they need an emotional connection or are one-night-stands an option?: She's definitely the type of person who needs an emotional connection with the person who she is with.
JULIANA 🫂how do they feel about friends with benefits?: She has done the friends with benefits thing, although it usually ends up being a lot harder than anything else. However, she's the type of girl who never holds it against the guy and finds a way to have a decent friendship with the person.
TADGH'S MADDIE 🍒how old were they when they lost their virginity? to whom? was it significant?: (trigger warning incoming) She was still a pre-teen/young teen when her virginity was taken from her by one of her mother's... customers and drug dealers. It was significant because it shut her off from intimate relationships with anyone until she meets the person she ends up with in the end. (In this case, Tadgh.)
ASLI 🏳️🌈what’s their sexual orientation? have they ever experimented outside of that [for more binary orientations such as heterosexual/homosexual]?: She is heterosexual, and has not experimented outside of that.
CASSANDRA 👄do they prefer oral or penetrative sex more? ↕️are they a sub, dom, or switch? top, bottom, or switch?: She loves all of it oral and penetrative. She is a switch.
LEAH 🛏️what’s their favorite position?: She loves to be on top, or reverse cowgirl, OR lotus.
DIANA 🔢what’s their body count?: One. She only ever has sex with one person, and it's the person she will eventually marry, although she doesn't necessarily wait for marriage.
CATIA 🕒what’s the longest time they went without engaging in sexual activity with a partner? [masturbation doesn’t count]: It depends on how long she's in between relationships, or how long she's away from the person she's seeing/exclusive with.
LUCA'S MADDIE 👀how do they feel about voyeurism? exhibitionism?: She's a very shy person, and needs someone who is secure and confident to make her feel comfortable. She might be okay with putting on a show just for him just by herself. Maddie couldn't watch him with another person, but him alone she would be fascinated.
ISABEL 🏬would they have sex in public? if so, how public is too public?: She would do things in public so long as nobody could see. She would need a barrier between her and other people
EMERY 🤪what’s the wildest place they’ve ever done something sexual?: Obviously, an airplane.
GABRIELA ❤️🔥what’s their most erogenous zone?: The curve of her neck, and her thighs.
JACK'S CARIA 💋do they like to kiss while having sex? do they cuddle afterward?: She loves kissing while having sex and cuddling afterward. These are things she was denied in her previous relationship.
AVERY 💦what’s their immediate post-orgasm reaction?: She's the type of person to just sink into the person she just had an orgasm with.
AYLIN 🫶what does after care look like for them?: It truly depends on what happened during sex and who she was with and what they enjoy doing afterwards.

🕯️: Svengoolie ( I had to )
My Muse is in the Darkness. A lone candle is all they have to light their way. Send “🕯️:____” along with something They’d encounter in the Dark for their reaction.
"Great. The first day in the new studio and there's a blackout. Gee, I hope that's not some kinda bad omen..." Elvira sighed and took one of the lighted candles from her new set. All the other people working on the set were already gone but Elvira wanted to stay a little longer to get a feeling for the new studio. She was glad she got a new hosting job where she was also able to bring in her own ideas and have a saying in the set and the script. But this all meant nothing when there was no electricity to perform all the cool effects she came up with. "Right now I'm more the Mistress in the Dark than of the Dark. How I hate when that happens... Let's see what we can do about it."
So in search to find the junction box, Elvira strayed through the studio with her candle in hand. "Hello?!" She shouted into the darkness with no answer, though she could swear there was a noise a moment prior. One step after another she moved through the studio no junction box in sight - but there was another noise. Elvira turned around but there was nothing to see, though the candle didn't really light up enough of the room. She took a few steps backwards when suddenly she walked into something. A squeak of surprise and shock escaped her lips while swirling around and holding the candle up to see what she hit.
"Svengoolie! Damn, you scared the kakadoodoo outta me! What are you doing here?" Elvira let out a sigh of relief and made it to form a little smile in the end. "Elvira! What a nice surprise!" Svengoolie made to get out after feeling relieved himself. "I'm working here on my new show. What about you?" Elvira laughed. "I also just got a new show here! No wonder that the power went off! Two great horror hosts with new shows - that junction box had to do overtime." Both were laughing now. "So how 'bout we look for that thing together to get the power going again and then we can catch up a little with a nice drink. It has been like forever since we saw each other!"
#ask#bitofthisandthat#yours cruelly#//Thanks for sending this in!#//Sorry for taking so long and not providing more dialogue. I'm not familiar w/ Svengoolie so I'm not comfortable enough writing him.

Iyoko arranged a bouquet for the twin brother of the once infamous Uchiha, "See, I told you this combination would pop! It's magnificent! I'd almost keep it for myself," she teased, her icy blue eyes admiring the colourful bouquet of flowers. Gently, she handed them over. "To give them a boost, bubbly water does the trick. Refresh it every two days. I'll add it on your btothers tab. Gives me a reason to annoy him," she laughed.
Obsidian eyes shined in awe at how well the bouquet had turned out. Women that worked with flowers would always seem to amaze him, he supposed.
He offered the blonde a grateful smile as he took the flowers gently. “Thank you, Iyoko. I love it!”
The Uchiha could only grin sheepishly at the mention of taking a jab at his twin. “You certainly get a kick out of annoying him, don’t you? You’re a bad a Daria!”

Prompts For The Heavy Hearted (Angst) || Accepting
@alphateamsfinest sent: “Is it getting bad again?”
Bad, was just the simple term for it, but it was much worse than that. Ever since his life began to spiral downwards, every single day, he felt like another part of him died, and his body was slowly killing itself, the stress, overwhelming thoughts filling his mind with questions making him wonder, just how long could he keep this up, he was already sick of his job, among several other things that added to the stress.
The fact that this fight he joined three decades ago was still going strong, at this point, it just seemed like it would never end. He hated his job, for fighting constantly, year after year, only for all the work he’d done to wipe the viruses out over the years, all be in vein -- you took care of one virus, only for some other madman with several screws loose, to just come up with a new one entirely, it was all the same old shit.
Sitting around at a bar like he was on most of his days, Leon was sitting in a usual spot, a table across from the window so he could blankly stare into it, especially when his thoughts would become too loud before the booze did it’s job in numbing the pain, and making him feel something, he’d take the burning of the liquor in his throat over anything else, especially with where he was at in his sad excuse that was currently his life. Sitting at the table, the agent slams back a large swig of his liquor, downing the entire glass.
Just as he was refilling his glass, the chime of the pub bell rang, signaling that another customer had walked in, Leon had been here for three hours already, lots of people came in and out of the place while he sat there keeping to himself like he always did, so he didn’t really pay it any mind, that was, until he heard a familiar voice talking to him. Slowly, he turns his head to see that it was none other than BSAA Operative Jill Valentine, honestly, he was pretty surprised to see her here. There was no way she knew he was here though, so if anything, this was probably some sort of coincidence.
A cocking of his head to the side as whiskey-soaked parted to speak.
[{ ☣ }] - “Bad, ain’t even the half of it.” He replies in spite, helping himself to another sip before blue eyes revert back to look at her.
[{ ☣ }] - “What are you even doing here? A dive bar like this, is the last place I’d expect to find the BSAA’s golden girl.”

6, 16 and 17!
♡ Munday Meme ♡ || { Accepting }
From @tophatz || Mun has been summoned…
//how long has it been since I received a mun ask? It’s been 84 years but I’ll do my best to answer!//
6) OTP for your muse?
Gigi: I actually have two…
Canon: regarding to canon muses only, I ship Gigi and Catty the hardest. @cartoonus-maximus and I have been shipping these two ever since 13 Wishes literally came out. Not only is it the oldest ship, but it’s one of the most developed as we have fun exploring much of our muses more than the series has let them.
Crossover: Thanks to a certain pharaoh ( @ofthepuzzle ), I ship Gigi with Atem as the tie because of the development so far and the fact that something about those two just balance each other. They also have a lot in common in regards of struggle and past.
Whisp: Before it used to be either Kieran before he came out or Cerise of Ever After High when I had a previous partner. But honestly I don’t think I have one for her as of yet. Whisp is hard to ship with but I have an idea and would like to see what it’s like with either her and Claudia or her and Catrine (keep with the theme of every genie has a werecat). I’m still open to explore a ship with her with new muses cause you never know…
16) Favorite trope?
Like favorite foods, I never have just one. Fist let me say I’m a whore for crossovers because the only thing more fun exploring your fandom is combining it with more with another. I also love the friends to lovers or enemies to lovers trope mainly through development. Also the royals cause I always wanted to explore building a kingdom or empire verse just to see what it would be like being a princess or ruler would work out.
17) Least favourite trope?
Again, I don’t just have one. Call me denial, but I hate unhappy endings, depending on the situation. I can accept that not everything turns out right but there’s a silver lining somewhere. I also don’t do PWP cause I don’t like instant relationships nor rushing things. Also not a fan of the ABO (alpha, beta, omega) thing.

actually you know what I'm just gonna say it I think a lot of y'all view most amab non-binary people as just men but have no problem respecting the non-binary identity of afab non-binary people and you should really critically analyze that tendency actually

@herspawn asked:
How do they greet someone they dislike / hate?
serendipity thinks he's good at hiding his distaste for someone. it comes easier if he's acting a part -- say, an uppity drow waltzing into a goblin camp. otherwise, if it's just him? his niceties have a certain sting to them. there's a certain narrowing of his eyes when he smiles, and his teeth seem...just a bit sharper. those who are versed in the language of subtext know what's being said there, surely.

As always I am here for your love
[ LOVE ]: the writer begins the first of a series of love letters to the recipient. (Cal & Mads)
[ AFAR ]: a letter delivered by the writer from another country/city/planet/etc in order to reassure the recipient and let them know they’re okay. (not intended to be a back-and-forth, like [ INITIATE ] does). (Ayla & Sloan)
From this Letter Prompts meme here!!
Cal & Mads:
My Love,
Today, I've decided to start a new tradition, and how fitting is it to start a tradition on the day that we join our lives together forever? So, this new tradition? You'll get letters, at random, sometimes on special days, holidays, anniversaries... but sometimes just because. I feel it's important that I express to you how much I love you, even when it's unexpected because it needs to be said.
There will come a day when you and I will inevitably not be as happy with one another as we are on this day. That's life, and I know it. My hope is that you'll have these letters to go back to so that you can remind yourself that to me... you are the absolute, single, most important person in my entire life. I love more more than these words can ever express. No disagreement will ever change how I feel about you. You're everything I didn't even know I could dream of. You're... simply everything.
I'm so happy, so... so incredibly happy to be marrying you today. To become your wife. To share my life with you from this day on. No matter what happens, know that I will never regret this decision. It is, by far, the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I love you. I love you. I love you. I promise to never stop showing you. But for now, take this letter, and when you see my smiling face walking towards you down the aisle, know that I'm incandescently happy. I'm excited. I'm grateful. I'm thankful. I'm so incredibly lucky. And you are the love of my life.
Yours... forever and always,
Maddie
--------------------
Ayla & Sloan:
Angel,
I don't have a lot of time. I know you're probably worried sick about me, and since I don't have access to a phone, or a computer, I'm sending this letter through the mail. They promised it would get to you, and hopefully you'll get this quickly.
I can't go into detail, but I'm okay. I'm safe. We're kind of in an area where we don't have access to all the nice things like... internet. Or the phone lines that we have at camp. Good ol' missions. We're all okay, every last one of us. Even though it's been a rough time. I'm leading my men, and I'm proud of how well we've done.
They said we'll be headed back to camp soon, though, and with danger averted they don't anticipate us having to worry about any enemy fire before we get back. So, no more worrying. I don't have any scrapes, or bruises.
In the mean time, seni çok seviyorum. I think about you every single day. I'll call you the moment we get back to camp, no matter the time, so keep your phone ready. I'll apologize in advance if it wakes you up in the middle of the night, but I'm going to be selfish because I miss your voice.
Talk to you soon,
Sloan

Drinking Starters || Accepting
@kemikorosu sent: "Easy there. Try to sit up." — sachi
No longer an active DSO agent in the field, Leon’s life was nothing but the same harsh cycle all over again, his life didn’t change much after his leave, the only real difference, was that he wasn’t involved in the fight again bioterrorism anymore, after the last mission he had done with them, all his experiences he had witnessed over the years finally caught up to him, and the last mission was the icing on the cake that had pushed him well over the limit. The former agent had seen several people he was friends with turn over the years, before his former platoonmates saw the barrel of his gun, it had been former president Adam Benford that had seen it, one of the many losses he still dealt with over the years, and there were still more a laundry list
The years that followed, after the global terror attacks of 2013, it seemed like his life began a downward spiral without even knowing it, there had been a handful of other successful missions until the aforementioned one, watching his entire team get slaughtered thanks to a rat blowing their cover, and that was what did it. Even though he had been spared from any further experiences like that with his paid leave of the DSO, while that did give him a slight sense of relief, at the same time, it also made him feel worse about where he was in his life. An agent who used to be at the top of his field, now a drunken mess trying to deal with the train wreck of a life he was living. Nothing mattered anymore, no one cared about him or his situation anymore, he was pretty much a ghost without a reason.
Raising up his arm, he grabs the waitresses attention.
[{ ☣ }] - “Hey, another bottle here. The vodka was good, but I’ll take whiskey this time.”
People only wanted him whenever they needed something, help on a mission and nothing further. All he could do these days, was sit at a bar drinking as a way to cope with everything, the old life he threw away, the fact that he had been fighting for a cause that felt meaningless now, that fire he used to have for justice had long since dwindled and faded just like his will to stay alive. The only sense of comfort he found. Being a cold drink on the rocks, anything to make him forget about it all, his wasted life, crippling loneliness he felt after spending most of his life for chasing a ghost in a red dress -- and with no further contact for well over a decade, at this point, that’s all she was to him, a ghost of someone he had wrongfully given his heart to, and now here was here, alone and suffering for it. She wasn’t worth it, why did it take him so long to see that? It was probably all a game to her, she never felt anything real for him, and frankly, he was tired of waiting.
What the hell was the point of anything anymore? This, was rock bottom, the lowest he’d ever fallen in the poor excuse of what could barely be called a way of living. Many hours later and several bottles down, Leon was absolutely hammered, he was so drunk, that he was seeing double-vision and was beginning to slur his words a bit, it was the most drunk he’d been in a very long time, with no reason to care about his wellbeing, he figured he may as well enjoy his drinks.
After finishing the bottle within minutes, Leon was far gone, the room was starting to spin and he could feel his balance starting to become off-kilter. A relieved and satisfied ‘ahhh’ as he downs his final shot, nothing felt better than the burn of alcohol stinging his throat, the best and only way to numb all his pain. Feeling the booze start to kick in, Leon slowly got up out of his chair and wobbled over to the men’s restroom and did his business, despite being utterly trashed, he still remembered to wash his hands and turned to exit after drying them with a paper towel.
The moment he walked out of the bathroom, he felt his legs buckle and he suddenly lost his balance and fell over flat on his back with a thud and a pained groan, not long after, he feels slender fingers pull him up along with a voice, a voice he didn’t recognize, whoever these two young woman were(due to his double-vision) they helped him up. The necxt thing he knew, he was being helped to sit up before slowly rising to his feet, standing back up, he pulls his arm back from her, unable to appreciate the help right now due to how heavily drunk he was.
[{ ☣ }] - “Huh? Whoooo th’aaa hell are youuu and whattaya want withee me?” He tries to speak, but his words slur a bit making some of his words tough to catch and hard to clearly understand if one wasn’t closely listening.
He was undoubtedly going to make a fool out of himself here, and didn’t know it, intelligent thought in his state was tough due to how inebriated he was.

Sobbing uncontrollably reading through a dissertation about the college experience of students with ADHD. It is like reading a report about my life that just says over and over "My experiences are real. My hardships are real. I am not lazy, I am not dumb. My struggles were not my fault, and they were not a moral failing. The failure was with the system, not with me."
Here's a line that got me in particular:
"Hotez et al.(2022) compared the health, academic, and non-academic capacities of a nationally representative sample of U.S. first-year college students with ADHD and without ADHD. Students with ADHD self-reported lower academic aspirations and more feelings of depression and overwhelm, ranking themselves lower in their general emotional health. The fact that students with ADHD scored in the highest 10th percentile for many non-academic traits, such as artistic ability, computer skills, creativity, public speaking, social confidence, self-understanding and understanding of others, compassion, and risk-tasking, suggests that this population has strengths that are frequently underappreciated in academia."
(the paper is a thesis called "Understanding the Collegiate Experience for Students With ADHD" by Gia Long, 2022)
#adhd#actually adhd#i often hyperbolize but i am dead serious when i say sobbing uncontrollably. this is why i was putting off this assignment.#1000 years of hell to professors who assign self-reflection papers /hj#i dont feel comfy posting the pdf bc its not mine butttt.. i will share it to people who dm me.#edit: pages 80-85#edit: thank you to everyone who reached out and asked for the pdf!! i wasn’t expecting this reaction#keep reaching out I’ll keep sending it#if anyone is interested but struggles to read academic papers pls ask me for help bc I’ve gotten a lot of practice with them and am Glad to#expand someone’s access to a paper like this

i got my isbn today for the book. 8 months to go. my mom and i were talking about what the next steps are. i was eating trail mix, standing on one foot, phone tucked into my ear.
"yeah," i said. "the problem is that tumblr as a market is like, not something that can be studied." there's this weird wave of nostalgia and affection for this place that came up over me: how lovely we avoid consumerism. okay, it sucks as a creator. but also? keep stickin' it to 'em.
my mother made the sound at the back of her throat that i also make, the one that means i've got an idea. "you should figure out some kind of reward for presale amounts. maybe you give out poems or a mug or a signed book or something. would your followers like that?" my mother is sweet, and kind, and i have no idea how to explain on this website you can buy someone crabs.
i put more m&ms down the hatch. i had to speak through peanuts and almonds. "if it passes 25 thousand i will print the book out in its entirety and eat it live on camera."
"oh god. no, you don't have to do that." she was anguished. "just tell them that you'd love them to read it, and that they've inspired you to write. you got started on that site, and they helped you keep going. raquel, you love these people. the community? you talk all the time about the other writers and artists and whatever else. tell them that you're hoping for their support, they'll come through."
"no," i assured her. i discovered i had dropped an m&m, but an ant had already found it, so it belonged to him now. i will let his little life have a surprise blue treasure in it, too. "i'm gonna fuckin' eat the book."
#writeblr#:)#the small secret love i have for y'all. the way i am filled with gratitude.#for the nosebleed club. for stephen particularly.#for every artist i've ever been in contact with and collaborated with.#for every person who has commented on my work and passed it along or fallen in love with it#for every silent 'just hitting like' follower and for every person who sends me dms and for each of you#i know i suck at replying bc i have anxiety. but like. you keep being here. so i keep writing.#i legit wouldn't be here without you.#thank you sophie thank you katie thank you carolyn thank you stephanie thank you jess#thank you if you're reading this#i got too overwhelmed with love and have to stop writing this FAR too early into the thank yous bc im about to cry with love
