redoing an old serenitea pot realm to be a house for the husband & his husband fr

🍄💾♻️🤔❤️

Thank you friend! __

🍄Describe your wip/one of your wips in the format of “_ +_ =__”

Uh... Steven + magic Gem puberty = the little mans is TIRED he would like One normal human thing to happen to him for once in his life thank you

(a short comic/fic coming soon (??) to an AO3 near you)

💾What is your document of your wip/ a wip called? (not the stories actual title but what you’ve saved it as)

I think my absolute favorite shitpost WIP title in my files is "On The Subject of Goron Phallus"

Although to be entirely fair, that would be the OVERT name of the story. But it's still funny. I honestly don't do temporary joke titles too often, the title is often what I come up with first, OR I will just describe the vague vibe of the fic. i.e. "Reunited Alt POV Fic" or "Steven has nightmares."

♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP

This question is dauntingly hard for me, I realize, because I scrap a lot of words while writing and editing but I rarely if ever scrap entire IDEAS, or at least what I would personally consider meaty enough to BE an "idea."

But I guess a major thing I DID take away from my recent edits of Crack the Paragon is the concept of split Steven being just like... a no-gem version of exactly Steven and then his gem. Instead I tried to go for like... the vibes of "the semi-organic shell of the being who's Supposed to be Steven and is trying his Best to be Steven but also does not Feel like he's Steven right now and is having a bit of an existential crisis about it, and then said organic shell's fuckin sentient battery who fears he's nothing more but code and instinct but is instead plagued with Feelings and Opinions he does not yet understand how to properly express"

🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

Lmao my sequel to Crack the Paragon. Slow down there Jen, we gotta finish the first fic first.

I have posted overt sneaker spoilers for my sketchy thoughts on it in art and music form, though.

❤️Not a question, just a second kudos to send.

<3<3!!!

Honestly every single controversy over What Tumblr Staff Really Thinks would be resolved by recognizing that Tumblr Staff is not a singular monolithic entity. Tumblr staff is multiple people - some whose names we know, and a lot we don't - assisted by automated moderation tools. Yes, tumblr has fewer employees than most websites of its size, but it's not one single person. Even if it were just a dozen - have you ever tried to get a dozen people to agree on anything?

If tumblr denied your Blaze post one day and approved it the next, or approved it when your friend reposted it to their blog to test it, that doesn't mean They're deliberately being hypocrites or like your friend better than you; maybe it means the post got reviewed by two separate people who decided to err on opposite sides of the political content rule (this is extremely likely in fact), or who have different interpretations about how scathing an opinion of a semi-public figure can be before it constitutes a forbidden personal attack, or maybe someone clicked the wrong button by mistake one of those times, or maybe the first one really was just ONE asshole who thinks that anything that even implies an opinion left of "we should hunt the homeless for sport" is "too political".

If you see a Blazed post that's really egregiously awful and blatantly against the advertising guidelines - proselytizing, medical misinformation, pro-life guilt tripping, etc. - it doesn't mean They have a secret agenda against you; maybe whoever reviewed it was just idly approving everything to rush through the moderation queue under the naive assumption that nothing awful would ACTUALLY come up, maybe they didn't RECOGNIZE something as misinfo and thought it was something more people should "know", maybe they thought the proselytizing was ironic/a shitpost based on What This Community Is Like, or maybe they really DID agree with the OP and their motives and at least one particular mod is an asshole.

If an innocuous post is flagged as explicit, it doesn't mean They are trying to silence you - maybe some dude was half asleep while clicking through reports, maybe someone was taking a report at its word that it was SOME kind of reference they didn't understand (even though suggestive things are supposed to be allowed, but people fuck up), maybe the ROBOT that handles a huge chunk of the explicit content blocking messed up (you know that article about the AI continually mistaking sand dunes for naked people? It happens a LOT), or maybe it DID get handled by one actual fuckwit who defines "gay people holding hands" as "porn".

It's a company, not a political organization or a friend group; its not likely that they're out here vetting peoples politics before letting them in - the legality of asking about political affiliation in job interviews is questionable and even where it's allowed it IS considered wise to avoid the topic except for specific questions relating to job duties if you want to avoid a discrimination lawsuit because it can be VERY EASILY used as evidence, and besides which, people can lie. Sure, there's a certain level of responsibility to not be a bigoted piece of shit when you're applying for a position staffing the None Website with Left Beef, but plenty of people lie about that...or think they're unbiased when they're really not...or any number of other things.

What we do know is that at the top level, this is a website that celebrates its mostly queer and left-leaning community and has the least invasive tracking of any semi-major social media site.

Does that make it perfect? No. Does that mean there aren't one or two secret assclowns on staff? Honestly, it's likely that the answer is no. Does that mean there's a conspiracy throughout the entire company to aid and abet them and tumblr staff is secretly all just bigoted pieces of shit who totally know why these assclowns are making the judgments that they do? Fuck no it doesn't! It just means that this website - like all others - is run by flawed humans, assisted with tools made by flawed humans. Call the mistakes when you see them, yeah, but maybe don't make it into some kind of paranoia-inducing conspiracy theory about how staff is secretly a bunch of vile bigots who hate us all.

How does religion work in the everelem. We know that Rebecca is Jewish. Most of the characters from the Hispanic kingdoms are probably Catholic, Naomi and Chloe are probably Protestan, Tomiko might be Shinto or Buddhist.

How does it work, was there Jesus, Abraham, Moses and so on, or is the religions based on something else?

This one depends heavily on if we're looking at the EverRealm as a totally unique world from a semi-realistic, ground-up worldbuilding perspective or if we're looking at it as a story by people from our world for people from our world.

Like, the ground-up perspective runs headlong into a little issue called "the cast of EoA and StF are, by definition, extraterrestrials" -- that is, the EverRealm is not alternate history Earth where magic exists, but in fact an entirely different planet that exists in the same universe as our Earth.

This may sound like a shitpost. It is 100% canon.

And because it is not Earth, it... doesn't really make sense for historical figures from Earth to be there? Like, Jesus was a dude, y'know? Whether he was the son of God or just some prophet or just some guy is gonna depend on your religious leanings, but Jesus of Nazareth was most likely a dude that existed. So the idea of the EverRealm also coincidentally having a Fantasy Jesus from Fantasy Nazareth for whom their coincidentally identical holiday Christmas/Navidad was named is... uh...

Well, it's a wild way to worldbuild, let's put it that way. There's a reason Enchancia celebrates "Wassalia Day" instead of Christmas. You can scrub every overt religious reference from the text and strip the holiday down to its most secular aspects, but if you're calling it by its real-world name, you are referencing the birth of Christ. Changing the name avoids this Fantasy Jesus Problem inherent in having a holiday called "Christmas" in a fantasy world.

Which brings us to the "story by people for people" thing. Avalor is not a real Latin American country, but it was ostensibly designed to give some much-needed representation in animation to people of Latin American descent. And the overwhelming majority of Latin Americans are Christian, with most of them being Catholic. So it seems like it would be disingenuous to say you're definitely depicting LatAm culture and then wallpaper over a significant part of that culture with A Bunch of Made Up Stuff for the sake of avoiding an issue that the bulk of the target audience probably won't pick up on, anyway. Like, if not for maybe 2 lines in the StF finale, we could assume that the EverRealm is supposed to be alternate history Earth, and all of this becomes a total non-issue.

And so, Avalor celebrates Christmas. And according to tweets from Craig Gerber, la Semana Santa as well. Ergo, Avalorans are predominantly Catholic.

The same issue crops up with Rebeca -- you can't create a character for the sake of Jewish rep and then not make reference to the fact that they're Jewish, which is going to involve implying the existence of real-world events and people that couldn't logically exist in this fantasy world. Did the Maccabean Revolt happen in the EverRealm? We don't know -- the origin of Hanukkah is pretty glossed over in EoA. But Hanukkah exists, and Rebeca celebrates it.

So how does religion work in the EverRealm? Look, it's handwaving all the way down. These religions cannot logically exist in a world that lacks our world's history, but they obviously have to exist to be referenced in the text, and so they have to have originated somewhere. No matter what you do, whether you import Real World Events and People into this fantasy world or argue that these suspiciously similar religions came into existence from a completely alternate set of events, you run into a mess of problems that I'm pretty sure no-one in this fandom has the Tolkien-esque levels of worldbuilding skill necessary to resolve. You just gotta handwave it.

(and oh boy the canon existence of magic complicates things even more -- historically, the Abrahamic religions have, uh, a Complicated relationship with magic, and just thinking about how that would work in the EverRealm is giving me a headache. Do we just say the two are chill with each other? Does the Church disagree with the government’s endorsement of a ‘Royal Wizard’ position? How much authority would the Church have with respect to that?? Has the EverRealm had religiously motivated witch hunts??? Are wizards considered blasphemers, or are spellcasters seen as semi-divine for their power? Does it depend on the type of spellcaster? Are some Church-endorsed and others condemned?? Was Fantasy Jesus a wizard?????)

When I'm scenariocrafting on my own time, I pretty much always go with Importing Real World Stuff, bc it's just so, so much easier than trying to build my own religious history for the sake of re-creating existing religions, especially when it's usually just for a one-off. I don’t need a lot of worldbuilding to snicker to myself about the mental image of young!Mateo getting hastily ushered out of a church by his mother as he repeatedly and earnestly asks a priest about that wizard-Jesus thing.

(“Oh, sure, so when Jesus does magic, we call it a miracle and celebrate it every Sunday, but when I wanna learn magic, it’s ‘too dangerous’ and I’m ‘gonna get arrested.’”

“Jesus was crucified, mijo.”)

Also, the juxtaposition of "Sofia celebrates Wassailia :)" and "Elena is Catholic" is just really funny to me.

tl;dr: real world religions canonically exist in the EverRealm, which doesn’t make sense when you put it under a microscope, so it’s probably best to just roll with it and not worry too much about the details of what they’re “based on”

What the Hell

Tw (ya’ll should know the drill by now lol): mentions of suicide attempt

. . .

Hiromi’s phone vibrated in his back pocket as he took off his flower shop apron. The boss had already left. Maybe she’d left something there and needed him to swing by her place to drop it off? He could only hope. It had happened before and now she had the impression her place was along his route home despite her living in the exact opposite direction. It had became a semi regular occurrence now.

His eyes widened as Snow boy’s name popped up in his notification bar. What was he doing texting him? The kid didn’t speak more than required even in conversation, but reaching out? What the fuck?

“What the hell!” He bellowed into the empty void of the now closed shop. Miya had disappeared and he was supposed to track him down as if he was some sort of nanny? He was the punk clown of S bulked up with arguably more muscle than Joe himself! He wasn’t some sort of caretaker. He’d beaten kids asses before on the skate track and then laughed in their faces.

But-

But the kid could get hurt and if he’d truly left upset then things could not be good. The little hot topic reeking cat boy may be barely 13 years old, but he was already tougher than Shadow in many aspects, the scrawny toothpick that he was.

He scowled as he finished closing up and ran out to his car. It was getting late and the kid could get hurt if he was by himself and hurt enough to run away like a little bitch boy. Hell, kids shouldn’t even have as much freedom as that little punk did. What were his parents thinking? The irresponsible jerks. He’d deliver him home and have a word with them. 

It had only been a few minutes since Langa’s text, so the kid had to be somewhere around Sia la Luce. Apparently, he didn’t even have his skateboard on him, so he couldn’t have gotten far.

What the hell could have made Miya so upset he’d storm off or whatever had happened? Whoever was at fault would get their face smashed into concrete so hard they’d become a goddamn troll with how much cement was embedded into their pathetic bashed body. No one messed with his kids.

What the- Miya was not his kid! He was just some poor, miserable little emo twig who blackmailed him into being wrapped around the kid’s pinky finger. That was it. He was only doing this to save face for his boss. Not because he cared. 

Definitely, 100% not because he cared.

He was Shadow. He only cared about himself and winning. Nothing else and certainly did not adopt some kids and two adults his own age and was not picturing a kid in a cat eared hoodie crying his eyes out in a rare display of emotion and-

A flash of neon green caught his eyes from a side window. He slowed, ignoring the almost instantaneous honking from cars behind him. He didn’t care what others thought of him.

“Hey kid!” he yelled, rolling down his window as he pulled to the side of the road. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

Miya blinked at him, his eyes blank and toothbrush in his mouth for God knows what reason. “Brushing my teeth, duh. Knowing you, you’re probably already in dentures cause your mom never taught you how.”

Shadow just stared at him, not even having the energy to be annoyed by the kid’s constant stream of petty insults he’d probably found on some tumblr shitpost blog. Didn’t the kid run away cause something happened? And here he was, the blankest of looks in his eyes. Actually, maybe it was serious. Normally the kid would have delivered that line with a smirk and glint in his eyes.

“Just get in the car. I was told you ran away or something so you’re getting a free ride. Kids your age shouldn’t even be out this late without supervision so you better tell me what the hell happened for you to run off like a three year old.”

Miya shrugged, hopping into the seat next to Shadow and putting his feet up on the dashboard as he brought out his nintendo switch. “Whatever, old man.”

“I’m not going until you tell me what happened.”

Miya didn’t look up from his switch. “Reki tried to kill himself.”

sounding, i have a question. i love your posts about magneto but my familiarity with the x-men is like... only from the movies. do you have any comic recommendations? there are So Many Comics, im hesitant to just pick something

OH MY GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE MY MAGNETO SHITPOSTS MADE SOMEONE WANT TO READ COMICS

Okay, the first thing you need to know about mainstream comics is that most of them are bad. Like 90% of them suck, and the comics publishing model is awful to actively keep up with. Nonetheless….there’s a good number of elements I find extremely compelling…..like Magneto!

I have not actually read full runs of….most comics, so grain of salt with all my recs.

But anyway, my favorite comics Magneto characterization is probably Chris Claremont’s Uncanny X-Men and New Mutants runs. Stan Lee created Mags, but Claremont was the one to come up with his backstory and make him a more nuanced character than the usual take-over-the-world supervillain. Uncanny X-Men 199 is about Magneto taking Kitty Pryde to a Holocaust memorial and submitting to arrest, and 200 is the story of the subsequent trial as Magneto contends with his crimes and Kitty contemplates growing up in a world with such bigotry. It’s extremely good and would be my number 1 choice for an X-Men story to be made into a movie, but it will never happen because it is contemplative and low on explosions (there’s an attack from psychic N*zi twins in there, but you know, comics.) New Mutants #35 picks up after the trial and has Mags serve as the headmaster of the Xavier Institute and mentor to the New Mutants team. You get to see him lecture teenagers about curfew and tell Rachel and Illyana that he gets the urge to just kill people, he really does, but THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO. It’s all very 80′s and has Claremont’s signature stiff-ass dialogue, but it’s fantastic. 

I also think that House of M and related comics are very important, even if I disagree significantly with a lot of its aspects. The core House of M story is a limited run where his daughter, Wanda Maximoff aka the Scarlet Witch has remade reality into one where Magneto is a semi-benevolent dictator who rules a world where mutants are in charge (see end notes for details on Maximoff-Lehnsherr family).  House of M: Civil War is a minseries that details his rise to power and his relationship with that universe’s Charles Xavier. Young Avengers: The Children’s Crusade, is a fix-it for the fallout of House of M that centers on Billy and Tommy, Magneto’s grandsons, and has Mags as a supporting character. The 2015 Secret Wars House of M miniseries is a non-canon story of Pietro trying to take over. House of M as a whole is kind of frustrating both in the way Magneto’s ideals are portrayed and with the stuff they do with Wanda, but it’s very compelling as a story about intergenerational trauma and you should read it if you’re interested in Magneto.

Other than those, I’ve read some of Cullen Bunn’s Magneto solo that follows Mags as vigilante. Very dark, and I don’t love all that characterization either, but it’s worth a read. The most recent X-Men Blue has Magneto in a mentorship role for the time-displaced original X-Men, though I’ve only read a little bit of that run too. 

Of stuff I haven’t read: I’ve been meaning to read the 2013 Uncanny X-Men run that follows Magneto, Cyclops, Emma Frost, and Magik as they recruit mutants to their radical cause because from what little I’ve seen that’s also a good Magneto, but idk. Chris Claremont did a limited run of Excalibur that features Charles and Magneto playing house together that’s supposed to be real gay. Age of Apocalypse allegedly has a long-haired Magneto leading mutants in the fight against their doom. Kieron Gillen wrote some stuff around 2012 about Magneto dealing with the wake of Cyclops’ bullshit? 

Comics during the 90s were generally big on making Magneto totally evil, so skip those. Same with the Ultimate universe version, which is frankly pretty offensive. 

Some important comics Magneto facts that are not canon in the movies that are useful to know:

Magneto was born Max Eisenhardt, in Poland. He has also used the names Erik Lehnsherr, Magnus, and a ton of others, though Magnus is probably the most common. 

Mags has naturally white/silver hair due to his mutation, though it was dark until his adolescence and full awakening of his powers. 

He is very smart and cultured and has a lot of formal education in science and physics. 

His powers vary wildly according to story, but he can do a lot more than move metal with his powers. 

He has been deaged and reaged and other bullshit a lot. It’s not stated how old he currently is, but it’s entirely likely he’s physiologically only about 40. 

In the main comics universe, Magneto has four children. With Magda Maximoff, he had Anya, who died in childhood, and Wanda and Pietro, aka Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. With Susanna Dane, he had Lorna, aka Polaris. He didn’t know that Wanda, Pietro, or Lorna were his children until he met them again in adulthood. Mags also has grandchildren: Luna Maximoff, Pietro’s daughter, and Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepard, aka Wiccan (?) and Speed, the soul reincarnations of Wanda’s children (it’s complicated). He has a very difficult and complicated history with all of them, but he cares about them a lot. 

He has had a long-running on-again-off-again thing with Rogue. Unlike in the movies, she’s an adult so it’s not as weird, but……I still hate it.

Also, I don’t know if you read fanfiction, but….if you want good Magneto content, you might consider it. Most of it is based on the movies, and most of that is specifically the First Class-Days of Future Past alternate timeline though. At the very least, most fic writers who create stories about him actively like him, which is more than some comics writers.

My favorite Magneto characterization in fic is in The Building of the House and Tehillim, which is canon to the movies. IMO XMCU!Magneto should be written as very traumatized and have significant problems with daily functioning, and these fics give a really fantastic portrait of that trauma. 

These are all AUs that in some cases hew pretty far from canon, but have characterization elements that I really like:

Limited Release, where Erik is a very intense and kind of crazy FBI agent 

I guess I should say thanks or some shit, which has a fantastically douchey young Erik

Lessons ‘Verse, which show Erik as an incredibly difficult and high-maintenance lover (these fics are mostly smut but I REALLY like the characterization)

Synthesis, which gives a really sharp portrait of Erik’s politics 

The end of the world (just not ours), which is kind of a college au that has a deliberately wildly diverging magneto characterization and is unfinished to boot, but…I’m really into it, idk

Anyway thanks for reading this giant-ass post, hit me up with more questions or if you wanna talk about Magneto

The Fourth Of July (Pt 4)

Read on AO3

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

“Fucking the quarterback, way to go little bro!” Gerard, that stupid bitch, yelled into the street as Mikey and Pete came up to the house.

Mikey was blushing, a thing he seemed to a lot now, and he was, for lack of better word, worried Gee was going to scare Pete off. God knows how fragile the masculinity of a football player, as far as Mikey knows Pete isn’t exactly out and proud. He kind of didn’t want to scare Pete off just yet, they could have at least a little fun before school starts again. Yeah, just fun.

“Isn’t it about Fuck-Frank o'clock, you can be as loud as you want at his house,” Mikey yelled back, leading Pete into his house by the hand.

Gerard ran downstairs, his red hair either wet or greasy, no one would’ve known. Of course, of fucking course, he didn’t have any pants on. Of fucking course. Gee smirked, probably at the fact that Mikey hadn’t let go of Pete’s hand. Frank followed loosely behind on the steps because of course he’s there. The Way brother said something about how he had already been ‘fucked into insanity’ by the tiny midget that is Frank Iero. How a freshly graduated student even stayed with an unemployed, dirty, sleep deprived art student, Mikey supposes it’s love. That doesn’t mean that Mikey’s happy about the impurity that is now the entire fucking house. Michael holds onto the shred of hope that is the possibility his room remains untouched by Gee or Franks naked dick. The same place he is quickly leading his dick sucking aquaintance to, away from the half naked almost adults.

“Your brother is kind of hot,” Pete teased, at least Mikey hoped it was teasing. Mikey gagged, and Pete, that fucker, laughed at Mikey’s disgust, because Pete is an asshole. An asshole with a cute laugh.

Mikey was actually unsure if Pete was serious, and he couldn’t explain it but it made his gut feel tight to imagine Pete attracted to Gee. Obviously because he didn’t want to imagine anyone attracted to his brother because ew. He turned on his TV, switching it on to whatever was on; a generic straight romance. The noise provided enough distraction for Mikey to avoid Pete, he didn’t know why but he didn’t want to talk to the short one for a while. For the extra unaproachable asshole look, he scrolled tumblr. Mindless scrolling and reblogging had become Mikey’s life since he signed up for the hellsite. It took a part of his soul when he first logged on, and now he’s never going to get it back from the shitposts and porn.

Speaking of porn, as soon as Mikey, follower of blogs that post porn sometimes, opened the app, dicks. Two dicks, actually, and one is inside someone. Thank fuck his sound is off or Pete would’ve been alerted of the kinky ass fucking that is happening on Mikey’s phone. Anyone else would’ve scrolled past quickly, but Mikey, like the dumb ass he is, wanted to watch it to the end. The one on the bottom is tied up with pink rope with a vibrator strapped to his leaking cock. The top was pounding into the other one’s ass, hard and fast. It was perfect, exactly what got Mikey going, and his dumb ass slowly, carefully palmed himself. If only he could hear the moans, fuck, Mikey loved the moans. He could imagine the bottom’s whimpers and screams, and jesus fuck he was hard and aching. He had his slow palm but it wasn’t nearly enough. He wanted to do something to get off, anything.

Mikey was a dumb ass but he was not going to masturbate with Pete in his room. However, Pete had sucked his dick, wouldn’t hurt to return the favor with just a little fun. Okay, seriously he could not just ask for sex or something. Even if, he really wamted to give Pete a blowjob and cum while doing that. “I want to suck your dick.”

The younger just blurted it out, he had almost forgot how fucking little self control he had when he was high. Pete looked at Mikey, the elder was suprised. It seemed, Pete had more self control because he said no. Well, fuck. Mikey looked down, embarrassed, at his hard on. He decided, fuck it, that it was his room, his house and he could jerk off he fucking wanted to. Fuck the rules of aquaintancy, Pete had already seen, felt and tasted Mikey’s penis, surely it wouldn’t be too much of he had to see it again. Mikey threw his phone on his bed and then he threw himself on it.

If he was actually going to do this with this fuck it mentality, he needed some illegal encouragement. Weed lollipops, Mikey had sucked on them while he was masturbating before feeding his fantasies. He opened his bedside drawer, to fnd the cherry flavored weed pops. How in the fuck did anyone put marijuana into a lollipop? Mikey doesn’t have an answer but he’s not complaining. He took off the wrapper, which was loud as shit by the way, and immediately began licking it seductively. Seductively is generous, what he really did was lick around the lolly, leaving green on his lips and gaining the attention of Pete. Shit, the glare Pete was giving him made Mikey’s cock twitch. Fuck. Mikey pulled his jeans and underwear down in one motion, his precum had re-wet his underwear and it stuck to his skin as he pushed it. Little strands of wetness stuck to his inner thighs. The lollipop was sucked into Mikey’s mouth, his tongue was moving around the big intrusion.

Pete was staring, fuck. His eyes were glazed over like he wasn’t even there, Mikey had sobered up some so he knew Pete had too. The younger just wanted to have a little fun and he wanted to get off. He wanted to cum, so bad. Fuck. Mikey sat up, on his knees, pants barely below his ass. He faced Pete, because he was that fucking dumb. Dick hard, leaking onto his sheets and staring down Pete, who was still on a pillow on the floor. Mikey could see Pete’s hand drift towards the bulge in his shorts. He smirked around the lollipop, taking it in one hand and rubbing his leaking head in the other.

Mikey was getting stoned and getting off, at the same fucking time. That was all Mikey aspired to do in his summer life. He never really anticipated he would be fucking his mouth with a lolly and thrusting into his hand while Pete Wentz watched and touched his Pete Wentz dick. Fucking hell, Mikey was going to cum. He slowed his hand down, squeezing with every pump and fucking whimpering. The lolly fell out of his mouth, onto his pant leg, with a moan. His tongue was to his bottom lip as he moaned more. Fuck, he was so loud from just jerking off. After a second, the hand that held the lollipop was on his nipple, pinching under his shirt. It was such a good kind of pain. He moaned a loud, slutty moan. His legs were trembling and he looked at Pete, with his face completely clouded with want. Pete had pulled his shorts below his dick, his shirt riding up every few seconds and his eyes were fixed on Mikey’s body. The younger noticed that Pete wasn’t wearing any underwear at all, fuck. He stopped touching himself at all and got down to where Pete was on all fours as his back arched. He shimmied out of his pants awkwardly, his breath reaching Pete’s dick. Fuck he wanted to taste it.

“Can- can I suck you-suck you off?” Mikey asked through heavy breaths, he really wanted to lick every inch of Pete’s dick.

“No,” Pete answered, he stood up amd forced Mikey back onto the bed, digging in the front pocket of his shorts and pulling out the lube, “I’m going to fuck you, Mikes.”

Mikey nodded and stifled a moan in the back of his throat. Pete slathered lube onto his fingers, without warning he stuck two inside of Mikey. The younger gasped at the cold sensation, he could feel the resistance as Pete tried to thrust his fingers back and forth. It was the same kind of pain he felt when he pinched his nipples, but better. Mikey wanted more.

“Mor-more, condom in- in the ba-back pocket,” the younger moaned out, Pete shoved another finger in as he maneuvered around to get Mikey’s pants.

Mikey could barely breathe between his moans. Pete’s fingers had found his prostate while the shorter shuffled for the condom. Mikey didn’t hold back at all, he came with a shout, all over his stomach and almost up to his face. Pete grabbed the condom, ripped it open with his teeth and rolled it on fast. It was like he was an animal in heat, the way he shoved himself inside Mikey. Fast, hard and so much fucking fun, just what got Mikey going. The pain was there, but fuck was it good. So fucking good, but it was too much. Mikey was screaming into his pillow as Pete hit his g-spot over and over, hard. Pete grabbed Mikey’s semi-hard and jerked until Mikey was almost crying with how much he needed to cum.

Mikey begged, tears in his eyes and moans in his throat. Pete smiled at him from above and attached his lips to Mikey’s neck. Sucking. Biting. Thrusting. Mikey came again, on both of their stomachs. And Pete was still fucking him into he matress, still hitting his prostate every single time and biting down on his neck. Mikey was screaming, it was too fucking much.

Finally, Pete moaned a last time as Mikey felt him fill up the condom againat his god damn prostate, still. Holy fucking shit. Pete rode out his orgasm, slowly rocking into Mikey as the younger whimpered and cried. It was too fucking much, but he still wanted more. Fucking hell.

“Pe-pete, too mu- too much, so fucking fu- good. I fucking ha-hate you,” Mikey whimpered helplessly, he couldn’t even move. That’s how drained he was. He couldn’t even close his mouth as Pete fell beside him, finally taking his dick out of Mikey, and fuck if Mikey didn’t chase it. He was absolutely wrecked.

“You know, you are so pretty when you’re fucked out of your mind,” Pete replied, kissing the side of Mikey’s mouth. The younger chased the kiss, succeding this time as Pete’s lips and tongue found their way all over Mikey’s mouth. He tasted like beer and saliva. It was fucking amazing.

“That was the beat fuck of my life,” Mikey said after he had finally caught his breath, about ten minutes later.

“Why didn’t I fuck you sooner?” Pete replied, and the fucker sucked on Mikey’s jawline. Everything felt so fucking good, even just Pete’s hands on Mikey’s hips. He was so sensitive and Pete fucking knew that as he sucked and bit into Mikey. Fuck, this was definitely more than just a little fun.

Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8

MORE PERSONASONA THOUGHTS

Actually maybe it could be cool to imagine a design for a phantom thief whose mask is like a full face-covering thing? Like a faceless mask. or a mask with a buncha eye symbols on it. OR maybe the persona has that aesthetic, I dunno??? One of the beta protag designs in the artbook has a mask like that, but with a smiley face covering it. That + an all-concealing cloak = a pretty damn cool aesthetic! Even if it didnt fit the protagonist its a shame that they didnt give it to another character, so I might try and make something with a similar appeal.

MORE POTENTIAL THINGS THAT SHOULD BE PERSONAS

Bunnies of myth! There’s the Jackalope (a bunny with horns), the Wolpertinger (a bunny with horns AND wings) and Al-mi’raq (a bunny with only one horn, also said to be one of a kind and incredibly powerful despite being regular bunny sized) And there’s apparantly quite a few other tales of powerful horned rabbits from all different countries and time periods! O_O I was totally under the impression that the Jackalope was just made up in semi-modern cryptid legends, and didnt really count as a proper mythological creature. Rasselbock is the german name, and that sounds really awesome! Also there’s apparantly a hella mysterious recurring symbol of three hares attatched at the ears in an eternal circle, which has appeared in multiple cultures across the world and nobody knows its meaning.

Okay I LEGITIMATELY DID NOT KNOW that Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream is given neutral pronouns in the original form of the play! O_O I mean, the pop culture version is always male, and in school when we read it the character was taught to us as male! I feel totally destroyed that I missed a chance to learn about LGBT characters in history during my school years... Holy shit I REALLY wanna pick Puck now! I always love trickster figures!!

okay i really do not know much at all about folk heroes/classical literature heroes but I do know one from my country at least! Taliesin (tally-essin) was a kind of robin hood esque figure who gets all the same ‘did he actually exist? is he a myth? did a real man exist but was exaggerated in myth?’ stuff. He was a super magical poet bard dude who was magically blessed with the most witty tongue in all of existance because he stole a potion of super knowledge from a witch as a child. It also made him super beautiful cos the witch’s son was super ugly, I always felt REALLy sorry for the poor witch’s son cos seriously she made this potion for him and some random kid stole it and then he’s never mentioned again except to say that ‘he was so ugly that everyone who saw him died, so he made a career as a warrior’. Poor guy. Man, I actually like Morfran a lot better, can I make him a persona? He’s not really a hero or anything, he only gets like two sentences in someone else’s story but I just wanna give him a hug. It also always bugged me that the description of his ‘ugliness’ mentioned how his skin was ‘so black he was like a human crow’ like seriously screw u ancient mythological racisms... ANYWAY thats the only celtic mythology character that’s interesting that hasnt already appeared as a persona, lol. Tho since most of the personas that’ve appeared have been the scottish and irish versions, Finn MacCool was the equivelant to Taliesin. (Same origin story and everything!) The disadvantage is that his name sounds like a shitpost. Also incidentally its really fuckin sad that the only canonical depictions of LGBT characters in welsh myth are all like.. Problematic As Fuck Negative Depictions. I used to like the character Math Ap Mathonwy but then I read the story where he punishes the villains by turning them into a pig and a sow and making them rape each other and get pregnant... as punishment... its so fucked up.. And they’re like the only gay characters ever, and they’re also incestuous brothers, and just... so fucked up... The bad side of getting a mythology Special Interest as a kid: pretty much every mythology has at least one horrible sex story in it!

I’m really interested in learning more about Tu’er Shen! He’s apparantly a chinese deity of gay blessings, the spirit of a mortal man who was executed for loving other men and reincarnated as the form of a magical rabbit spirit. I hope he ended up finding true love in the spirit world... :( Seriously, even friggin mythological figures are dying from hate crimes. I don’t think people were very optimistic when they created this story, its horrible to know that society still hasnt progressed far enough that this bullshit has stopped happening! Cmon, seriously!! Please say the future is gonna be safe, someday! I can just imagine Tu’er Shen looking down on us and still crying.

Huh! Persona 5′s homophobia also manifesting in a weird unintentional way! They mention how one of the ways everyone attempted to get the sun god Ameratsu to open up her door was ‘someone doing a lewd dance’, and there’s a joke about Ryuji being that person. But I had NO IDEA that originally the person who did that was Ame No Uzume, another female deity! And it seems pretty damn ‘LGBT themes in mythology’, i mean the dialogue is Ame No Uzume saying ‘come and admire how perfect I am’ *points at crotch* I mean they probably couldnt mention all the explicit details in this random cameo mention in a persona game, but seriously would it have been so hard to just say it was ameratsu and ame no uzume? I suppose maybe since its a japanese game there was the assumption everyone would know the myth tho, so its more of a failure of the dubbing.

And then there’s a lot of themes of androgeny and gender-changing in Hindu and various african mythologies, but I feel like I’d have to do a lot more research into those cultures to depict them accurately. Its a damn shame that barely any european cultures had that level of respect for LGBT people so long ago, yet we like to act like we’re the height of progress and assume every other culture followed along the same historical template as us... I’m really interested in learning more about Dahomey mythology, wikipedia says that they have a genderless creator deity who split into two male and female twins, which then combined again into a different bigender deity. (Nana Buluku, Mawu, Lisa and Mawu-Lisa) And apparantly in zimbabwe there’s a shona deity called Mwari who is also genderless. I really don’t know anything about these cultures though, and there’s no way I’m gonna be drawing dumb anime versions of people’s important mythological figures based on just a wikipedia crawl! But at least this has inspired me to wanna go learn more. Also it just makes me feel a lot happier about myself to know that its not like there’s zero genderless people in all of mythology, just because my country has always been hella bigoted ^_^ But man, wikipedia’s list of LGBT figures in mythology is really REALLY focused on only depictions of sex, and it counts all the super negative stereotypes and shit of villainous rapist gay folks and people being ‘punished’ by being turned into another gender. And then any sort of positive interpretation is all THIS IS TOTALLY JUST AN INTERPRETATION HERE IS ALL THE EVIDENCE FOR IT BEING WRONG, YOU CANT IMPOSE MODERN IDEALS ON MYTHOLOGY NOBODY WAS EVER GAY BEFORE THE WORD EXISTED IN ENGLISH SO yeah its really demotivating to me to continue reading this and just Yikes with a capital Yikes. I’m gonna try and find if there’s more sources online about LGBT mythology education written by actual LGBT scholars...

1: Talk about the first time you watched your favorite movie. Who even remembers that? I remember watching chucky or some scary movie when I was really young tho. 2: Talk about your first kiss. It was during the summer. I think I was 14. I was over romans house with a bunch of my friends and we were watching wax museum I believe and he pulled the covers over us and kissed me. I didn't even kiss him back lol 3: Talk about the person you’ve had the most intense romantic feelings for. He broke my heart. He left me in the worst way. With no words, no explanation, no closure. I'll always love him though. If he came back, I'd probably let him back in. I don't want to though. I doubt he will. 4: Talk about the thing you regret most so far. Getting involved with David. Catching a felony. 5: Talk about the best birthday you’ve had. I've never had a good memorable birthday. For my 19th I got really drunk and went to see a movie and fell asleep thru the whole thing and ended up throwing up crackers on the floor n fell asleep. Lol 6: Talk about the worst birthday you’ve had. They all sucked. None in particular really stand out. 7: Talk about your biggest insecurity. Probably my face in general. My smile. My crooked teeth. 8: Talk about the thing you are most proud of. I'm not proud of anything. I guess just finishing high school bc I really didn't think I'd make it and maybe making it this far. 9: Talk about little things on your body that you like the most. My little moles. I have them everywhere 10: Talk about the biggest fight you’ve ever had. Physical or emotional? I don't ever really argue with anyone. I guess that one time with David when I screamed fuck you and he was like fuck you too and told me to get out of his house but wanted to block doors and shit. Oh maybe that one time Chelsea got drunk and hit me and tori left her at a gas station in Oklahoma. 11: Talk about the best dream you’ve ever had. I can never remember my dreams. None of them are ever that nice just fucking weird. 12: Talk about the worst dream you’ve ever had. Trump trying to have a 3some with me and hitler and when he got mad he turned into a really tall black woman and busted down the door to get to me. I had a dream about a bus full of kids getting shot up. 13: Talk about the first time you had sex/how you imagine your first time. I was high. Wasn't that good. It was with my first love. It was after some teen club. I was 14. 14: Talk about a vacation. I don't think I've ever been on vacation. But I did go to Florida for my half brothers wedding once and I was on the beach. 15: Talk about the time you were most content in life. Anytime before I was 12 16: Talk about the best party you’ve ever been to. I don't go to many parties. None of them are really eventful. I usually never wanna be there in the first place besides to get drunk. 17: Talk about someone you want to be friends with. No one comes to mind. 18: Talk about something that happened in elementary school. I was "dating" roman in like 4th grade? Or 3rd and he would leave me money in my locker sometimes like 20$ and I was joking and said I'm a gold digger and my bitch ass little friends went and told him and he broke up with me and my friends were going back and forth on the soccer field saying "oh she said this!" And "he said that!" And he told me to suck his dick and I told him to suck his own dick and we somehow ended up getting in trouble and we got Saturday detention and they really had the nerve to sit us at the same table across from each other LOL 19: Talk about something that happened in middle school. I had a few good friends. Alex. Bailey. Angel. Roxiee. And everyone else I don't even talk to anymore. I miss them. 20: Talk about something that happened in high school. I isolated myself from everyone. I didn't have many friends. I didn't bother to speak to anyone or get to know anyone. I spent most of my time in the library reading or doing homework so I didn't have to do it at home. I met a guy named Evan in my fashion design class. He was one of the only guys in the class and he was really cool. He smoked and lived fairly close so we started hanging out. We were drinking and he asked me out and I didn't really wanna say yes but I can't reject someone to their face in their own house. So yeah. I don't really remember how we broke up. He said he liked my hair or something n I said that's gay and I think it pissed him off. lol I think that's why we broke up TBH but my memory is shit 21: Talk about a time you had to turn someone down. I never usually do. Idk. No one ever really pursues me. I guess Luis. I keep telling him to fuck off every time he tries to talk to me. It's been like 2 or 3 years now. Idk how I'm still a thought in his mind. 22: Talk about your worst fear. My worst fears have already manifested. Being utterly alone. Having no one understand me. Catching on fire. Dying in a plane crash. Dying a slow painful death. I plan on od'ing so I just realized I should just get barred out then od so I don't have to remember anything and everything will slowly just fade away. I'm hoping. 23: Talk about a time someone turned you down. All my relationships. I never am the one to walk away. People always end up leaving me. But I mean, no ones ever really rejected me I don't think. I don't pursue people that aren't at least semi interested in me 24: Talk about something someone told you that meant a lot. Idk why but when David noticed how I always taste my coffee before I drink it on our way to work. He said something about that and idk why it meant so much to me but I guess just someone paying attention to the little things I didn't think anyone would ever notice. When john told me he was in love with me so casually. It shocked me. I've never had anyone say that to me before. I never got to actually hear it before. 25: Talk about an ex-best friend. Tori is a fucking cunt. She sucks as a person. Rude mean and manipulative. 26: Talk about things you do when you’re sick. Lay in bed all day. Bitch and moan about being sick. Hot coffee. Lots of NyQuil. 27: Talk about your favorite part of someone else’s body. I really like boys with nice feet. I don't even like feet at all but guys feet rly intrigue me for some reason when they're pretty LOL. Hands. The veiny arms. The muscles. Eyes. 28: Talk about your fetishes. Hair pulling. Slapping. Spitting. Bondage is cool. CHOKING! 29: Talk about what turns you on. All those ^ and neck kisses. Hickies. So ugly but I love how they feel. Gettin my titties succccdt 30: Talk about what turns you off. Long fingernails. 31: Talk about what you think death is like. I have a couple theories. 1. Eternal sleep. A dreamlike state. Does consciousness die when your body dies? If not, I feel like you'd just keep dreaming for eternity. Maybe that's what this life is. My past life's never ending dream. 2. Darkness. Black. Nothingness. The void. 3. Reincarnation. You are reborn into this world or perhaps a different universe. I'm not sure but either one of those would be okay with me. Oh, maybe a heaven type place for your soul. Maybe only in death you can reach enlightenment and pure bliss. 32: Talk about a place you remember from your childhood. The big orange trailer on the end of morning street. The lake/pond thing by it. My cousins house. 33: Talk about what you do when you are sad. Listen to sad music. Shitpost on social media about my inevitable suicide. I don't necessarily want attention. Idk why I do it. I just don't have anyone else to really talk to I guess. So why not let the whole twitter n tumblr world know how I feel. 34: Talk about the worst physical pain you’ve endured. When I would wake up in the middle of the night with a pain in my stomach. Laying down only made it worse. Emotional pain that turns into physical pain and you can literally feel an ache in your chest. 35: Talk about things you wish you could stop doing. Depending on people. Planning my suicide. Wanting to kill myself anytime something goes wrong. Not being able to say how I feel when I should. Not being able to walk away from people and situations I no longer need to deal with. Not being able to let go. Hating myself. Blaming myself for other people's actions. Blaming myself for things out of my control. Inappropriate humor that most people don't think is funny but I just really hate everything and give no fucks. 36: Talk about your guilty pleasures. I never know. Coffee I suppose bc it makes my anxiety a lot worse. Cigarettes. I smoke them when I'm stressed or just when I'm bored bc it gives me something to do. Provoking people to hurt me bc I like emotional pain. I guess I don't like it but I thrive on it. I need it to survive. 37: Talk about someone you thought you were in love with. He ruined me. That ordeal traumatized me. 38: Talk about songs that remind you of certain people. From the edge of the deep green sea by the cure reminds me of john. It talks about how she never wants to leave him and how it's the same thing every time. Idk. Reflect the storm by in flames reminds me of David. He showed me it. So I can't help but think of him every time I hear it. 39: Talk about things you wish you’d known earlier. He didn't love me. Everything he said was a lie. 40: Talk about the end of something in your life. This relationship. My life will end soon as well.
