DRUNK OFF YOU.

nsfw(16+), black fem reader, eating out, afab reader, praising, degrading(not directed to reader), whining/begging, mentions of spit, dom reader(ish), sub/switch male, and after-care.

pet names; my love & baby.

pussy drunk men! who are kind of pathetic when it comes to you. You always have him needy when your away, poor baby can’t even get off properly when you aren’t there.

pussy drunk men! who’d want nothing more than to please you when you finally come home.

“please my love, let me have a taste, i’ll promise to take good care of you t’nite.”

pussy drunk men! who’d at the drop of a hat would get on they’re knees if you’re stressed and needed some relief.

pussy drunk men! who’d take one lap of it, and start moaning and rutting into the the mattress like a little bitch. Causing you in response to laugh, and push his head away from your heat.

“I let you get a taste, and you start acting like a complete whore.”

“M’sorry baby, i’m g’nna calm down..I promise.”

pussy drunk men! who’d groan as your lower half started to get wetter. His muffled sounds collidin against your sopping cunt.

“Fuckk, you’re getting everywhere.”

pussy drunk men! who enjoys when your thighs cramp around his face, priding himself on your physical reactions alone. The way you tug on his hair, as your back arches are some of his favorite things he likes to see.

pussy drunk men! who are very skilled with their mouth alone, can have you seeing stars for hours if you wanted.

pussy drunk men! who likes maintaining eye contact the entire time when he’s going down on you, he just loves watching you come undone.

“I wish you could see how you gorgeous you look right now, mhm.”

pussy drunk men! who can go on for hours, he could have an aching dick in his boxers and yet still drink you up like a man in the desert who found a well.

pussy drunk men! who’s absolutely a mess when its comes to you, your slick all over his lips, and his spit dripping down your inner thighs

pussy drunk men! who’s probably has you in tears or close to it. A soft smile plays on his lips, as you buck your hips up into his mouth, a clear sign you need more.

pussy drunk men! who’s made you cum probably twice already just by his tongue alone, and is now pushing for another. This is by pure enjoyment alone, you're over-stimulated, and not once has he stopped.

pussy drunk men! who praises you relentlessly, he’s just so thankful that you let him go on for this long. His thumb runs over your puffy clit, trying to get another climax out of you with a slight grin on his face.

“You’re being so good for me, my love. thank you.”

pussy drunk men! who when they are done, kiss you on the lips, and go put on a warm bath as another thank you.

thinking of..! leon s kennedy, geto suguru, satoru gojo, trafalgar law, and spencer reid.

22. reunion hug with buddie for the soft prompts <3

Thanks for the prompt! Hope you like!

Buck lets out a heavy sigh as he slowly trudges up the path from his car to the front door. He barely remembers the drive home thanks to a long forty-eight-hour shift preceded by four whole weeks of long tough shifts.

He hadn’t realised when Eddie had got that call in the middle of the night a month ago that his dad had been in a car accident just how difficult the next four weeks would be.

Luckily, his father had only broken a few bones and suffered a knock to the head and would make a full recovery but he wouldn’t be up on his feet for a couple of months at least. Unfortunately. his mom wasn’t able to care for him on her own so of course Eddie took some last-minute unpaid leave and got on the next flight to El Paso, taking Christopher with him.

Buck had tried to go with, had all but begged on his knees at Bobby’s feet to let him go, but there was a weird summer flu doing the rounds, both Ravi and Hen were out with it and they really couldn’t spare another person.

Two weeks, Eddie had promised originally as they said their goodbyes, just until they could find some more support for his dad.

“Two weeks is nothing,” Buck had responded, plastering a smile on his face and pretending the thought of two weeks without Eddie and Christopher wasn’t absolute hell. It was completely selfish to want Eddie to stay when his dad needed him, he knew that, but they hadn’t been apart that long since they had gotten together and the whole thing just sucked.

Eddie called every day, like he also promised to do and it helped but then Eddie would hang up and Buck was left alone once more. The house was too quiet without his boys and on nights he can’t sleep due to a lack of a warm body pressed up against his, he wandered around like a ghost haunting the place.

On day thirteen, Eddie’s call contained bad news. They hadn’t found someone suitable to help with Ramon’s recovery and Eddie’s help was needed for at least another week. When that week passed with no update on Eddie’s return flight home, Buck had a sinking feeling confirmed a few hours later when Eddie called to say he had to stay one more week.

“One more week, I promise, and then I’m coming home.”

Buck tried to believe him, but seven days passed and in that time Eddie hadn’t mentioned when he was coming home. Buck didn’t dare ask.

Working without Eddie by his side is hard. He keeps looking over, expecting him to be there. The temps don’t get what he wants them to bring him without asking, they don’t understand the in-jokes that Eddie gets with just a look. Sometimes it feels like he’s crawling out of his own skin at how wrong it feels at work and how lonely he feels at home.

If the last month hadn’t been hard enough, he and Eddie have been playing phone tag all day and Buck hasn’t been able to speak to either him or Christopher since yesterday.

When he finally gets inside, he bypasses the kitchen, ignoring the growl of his stomach and heads straight to the bedroom. His clothes are left in a pile on the floor as he climbs into bed, his head pressed into Eddie’s pillow. If he breathes in deep enough, he can still smell his boyfriend’s shampoo, lingering in the fabric.

Despite the hunger, he falls asleep quickly and manages a mostly restful night. When he wakes up seven hours later, half an hour before his alarm is meant to go off, he’s not exactly sure what wakes him.

He pulls on a pair of Eddie’s sweats and pads through the quiet house, still half asleep. When he makes it to the kitchen, desperate for breakfast and a bucket of coffee, he stops in the doorway. His boyfriend of six months is casually leaning up against the counter, mug in hand.

“Hey.”

Buck blinks as he tries to comprehend the sight in front of him. “Hey?” He repeats “That’s all I get?”

Eddie thinks about it for a second, “Honey, I’m home?”

Buck doesn’t want to waste another second, He barrels across the room, nearly colliding with the corner of the table on the way, and launches himself straight at Eddie. His boyfriend has barely enough time to put the mug down before Buck has wrapped his arms around him tightly. Eddie’s arms curl around Buck’s body on instinct and the two stand there for a long minute, just holding each other.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming home?” Buck asks into Eddie’s neck. He fits there perfectly, like the space was made for him.

“And ruin the surprise?” Eddie replies, his hand running up and down Buck’s back in a soothing motion.

Somehow Eddie seems to know exactly what Buck needs and something deep inside his chest settles back into place.

“Managed to get a red-eye at the last minute, It was Chris who wanted to surprise you. He’s completely sacked out in his bed by the way, couldn’t stay awake long enough for the surprise.”

Buck grins and finally pulls back far enough so they can greet each other properly with a kiss.

“Next time I’m going with you.”

“Deal,” Eddie says with a soft smile. He pulls Buck back in for another tight hug and that's where Chris finds them fifteen minutes later, coffee long since gone cold.

Big Ocean - Those Who Throw Away and Those Who Pick Up 3

Author: Nishioka Maiko (with Akira)

Characters: Yuuta, Koga, Adonis

Translator: Mika Enstars

"(They’re so good-hearted to the very core… So kind… I can’t stand it. Like a mirror, the more I face them, the more dirtied I become.)"

Season: Winter

Location: Yumenosaki Light Music Club Room

Koga: …With an even with this sort of message, you’re given a time to say things ya usually can’t say.

Adonis: Things you’re not able to say?

There’s certainly times where certain circumstances can make deepening bonds possible.

The ones you care about are… Yuuta and Hinata?

Koga: Yeah, tha’s right. If there’s anythin’ I can do for them, nows the time. Y’know, I’m surprised you know. That it’s about them, I mean.

Adonis: There aren’t many juniors out there that you care about as much as them. So, I kind of figured.

But why? I know things had gotten awkward around the time of SS. But lately haven’t you guys been having fun together just like you used to?

Koga: But yknow, it’s that. We’d just given ourselves distance so that we wouldn’t end up collidin’ with each other. The adult thing to do.

But once I distanced myself like that, I missed my chance to return back to ‘em, basically…

Adonis: Hm. You’ve put a lot of thought into this, haven’t you.

Have you tried approaching it simply? If you do something wrong, you apologize. If you have something to say, you say it. Don’t we?

Koga: But this ain’t a matter of right and wrong.

The reason this is so messy is because it’s an issue that can’t be settled with whose in the right and whose in the wrong.

They’re not in the wrong for choosing such a method, and I’m not in the wrong for gettin’ angry. It’s not like they’re evil or anythin’.

Yuuta: ……

(Ah~h. These seniors of mine, even Aniki… They irritate me to all end.)

(Why’re you bothering trying to pick up what I’m trying to leave behind?)

(They’re so good-hearted to the very core… So kind… I can’t stand it. Like a mirror, the more I face them, the more dirtied I become.)

(That’s why I faced myself away.)

(I would’ve even preferred it if he had just cursed me out instead…)

(Otherwise, I’ll end up regretting it.)

(—But I won’t. I can’t, and I don’t want to. Things can’t resolve itself like that so simply.)

(That day, I decided to build myself a meaningful “context” of my own volition. Even if I had to make sacrifices for it.)

(Even if I have to be screaming “that time and place I fought wasn’t all for nothing”… Because I’m sure at the end of all this, it’ll be the top of the idol world.)

(So I won’t turn back.)

(But... Sometimes this place shines so brightly… My eyes start to blur.)

Koga: ——

Yuuta: (…? Are they still talking?)

Koga: —Well, that what I was hopin’ for the Repayment Fes. That’s the last I’ll say on it.

I dunno if there’s even anythin’ we can do about it anymore, anyways.

Adonis: Right. I’m sure it’s difficult to overturn what’s already been decided.

…Hm. Would it be possible to do it at an ES event or live instead? Or is it no good if its not Repayment Fes?

Koga: Absolutely can’t be ES. They’re always gettin’ in the way and doing whatever the fuck they want!

Besides—

Adonis: ?

Koga: There’s no reason to collide with 2wink as UNDEAD— as idols. ‘Cuz the ones I wanna talk to, are Aoi Yuuta and Aoi Hinata.

It’s just us here at school. There is no UNDEAD. It’s ‘cuz of that we can collide with each other as seniors and juniors without anythin’ more on top that.

Yuuta: ……

Sigh~…

—Seriously irritating…

At a time like this, Aniki’s probably at his dorm or on the way back to it, isn’t he? Ummm, lemme open my contacts…)

—Ah, hello. Aniki, where are you right now?

Hey!! First of all, I love this blog

Secondly, I was wondering if you had some arranged marriage fics where they both know each other from childhood and don’t get on at first. Hopefully, slow burn. I’ve gone through the tags and read almost all of them so I was hoping for something new.

Thank you xx

Hey anon, give these a try!

Okay, seriously, thank you #Nickelback for this amazing song. It encapsulates #BUDDIE to a T (at this moment). At least I think so.

Lyrics below cut

I wish that when you walked in, I could hide it I wish that when we touched, there wasn't lightnin' You say you wish our hearts had better timin' But somethin' always keeps us from collidin'

'Cause one of us is always holdin' somebody else While one of us is hoping that nobody could tell And the both of us are gettin' good at foolin' ourselves Waitin' on the other one to figure it out So how long (How long) before (Before) the stars will all align? Or am I (Am I) just chasing (Chasing) your love? Like it's just over the next horizon (Just over the next)

I know you like the way you keep me captive So what's it gonna take to make this happen? (To make this happen) I lost my chance when you met him I went through Hell and back again But thank God there's no way to kick this habit

Can we close the distance between Where we are and where we could be? Never really as far as it seems When it seems just like

One of us is always holdin' somebody else While one of us is hopin' that nobody could tell And the both of us are gettin' good at foolin' ourselves Waitin' on the other one to figure it out So how long (How long) before (Before) the stars will all align? Or am I (Am I) just chasing (Chasing) your love? Like it's just over the next horizon Like it's just over the next horizon Just over the next horizon

Feels like a lifetime ago that she was on the back of the bike with me…

Somewhere on a desert highway

She rides a Harley-Davidson

Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind

She's been runnin' half her life

The chrome and steel she rides

Collidin' with the very air she breathes

The air she breathes

today i need to do echem on this system

work up two reductions

try singly protonating the potassium deriv with collidine and wash the collidine away and then add 18c6

get the uv vis of that singly protonated species

i should get the uv vis of the doubly protonated species from the dubious synth

i should also set up a new synth of the doubly protonated species again

once i have that singly protonated species i should do the phnnph BDFE experiment and try some more pka titrations and then just call it quits

If you don't mind me asking, why do you think Cecil wouldn't actually be an eye avatar? /gen

eye avatars are all about findin information an knowledge an cecil is like. the opposite a that. my man actively covers up an ignores information an dont really know shit when you think about it SGSJSHHS. like he may be semi omniscient but that's. about it. an even then it ain't necessarily as much as people think like cecil baldwin has said he thinks cecil gets a lotta the news not by omniscient means but by constantly bein handed papers an shit by interns. think vast/stranger fits him more what with the infinite collidin realities of night vale an all the different reality versions of him an the whole thing with mirrors an how much he talks about how huge the universe is an how small we are in it yknow

#there also aint that much eye imagery in night vale? theres like. the logo. but actually in podcast? not really #ask #anonymous #wtnv #tma #cecil palmer

THE MOON

moon. our loyal companion, and the only natural satellite of our planet.

We get to know this mysterious grey sphere while being little kids and since then, we often wonder what exactly it is and how did it happen it's up there, in the sky, getting lesser and lesser, as if it was eaten by something, but eventually returning, only for the cycle to repeat.

We then create the boldest assumptions- like, it is made out of cheese and some giant person slowly eats it and then replaces their snack back on the sky.

The same questions troubled our ancestors- in the past, the moon was assigned the divine role- in Germanic and Anglo-Saxon calendar, there is even a day dedicated to it! (Yes, it's Monday, which was the day devoted to worshipping the lunar gods and goddesses.) Moon's cycle was used to measure time, it gave light in the nighttime, during the full moon people and animals were claimed to become unhinged, or people believed it made lycanthropes transform. In Slavic folklore, water drawn in the moonlight was having paranormal abilities and could be used for spells and sorcery.

But this divine aspect of the moon was vague and people still thrived to learn more about it- this curiosity, in learning the nature of the moon led to various technological achievements- like Galileo’s first in history observation of sky made with the use of a telescope, a better understanding of geological processes happening in Earth’s inside, by investigation of volcanic processes that happened on the Moon, not to mention the development of modern and space travel technology because of the space race during the cold war.

But hey, let's start from the beginning. how did it even become our satellite?

MOONS ORIGIN

Well, the Moon’s genesis isn’t exactly clear for astronomy right now. There are few hypotheses touching that subject, but all of them have arguments that undermine them.

Currently, the most accurate theory explaining the beginnings of the Moon is called The Great Impact theory- according to it, about 0.1 billion years after the Solar System began to form, a planet with a mass similar to Mars called Theia appeared on Earth’s orbit. Initially, the planets didn't collide with each other, but after a while, the balance between the two planets was lost and it lead to an impact. As a result of the collision, a disc of debris was ejected around the Earth and kept around the globe as a ring, kept around the planet by the force gravitation. After a while, the shards would coalesce, and then form the foretype of the moon we know today.

By Citronade - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=72720188

This theory was approved by most astronomers as a hypothesis of the moon’s origin because it also explains the inclination of the axis, the Earth rotates (which causes the seasons) as the reason for the collision. Still, some astronomers question it, since isotopes of elements creating the moon’s surface are different from the isotopes of Earth’s Stones and rocks, and the theory does not explain how these differences arose.

The other theories say the moon could chip off from the Earth at the very begging of its life when it was nothing but an insanely hot magma ocean. The particle of earth, meaning the future moon, could chip off somewhere around the pacific ocean, because of the very high centrifugal force young Earth was supposed to have. However, we don't know if Earth's centrifugal force could be so strong for that thing ever could happen.

Another theory of the moon’s genesis states, that moon could just somehow appear on earth's orbit, and the planet’s gravitational force captured the stray and pulled it down on our orbit- it isn't explained though, how such a thing could happen- either moon would fly to far away from the planet, and therefore escape its gravitational field, or it would fly too closely, leading to a collision. And the chances, that it flew in the perfect distance on the perfect trajectory, without colliding with our planet in the slightest bit are low. Very low.

Besides, the rocks creating both globes have nearly the same isotopic composition, so they have to be somehow "related", and not just adoptive siblings.

So, taking all of those aspects into account, the great impact theory is the dominating theory in astronomy as a way of explaining the origins of the moon. As it is not perfect, it also has few variations- such as there were no theia, and just two similar planets collided into each other, creating both earth and moon.

but its beginnings are just one aspect of our mysterious companion. there is also one very important aspect of it- which has filled people for years in wonder and amazement. its motion and phases.

MOON IN MOTION

ever wondered why you can only see one side of the moon? well, The Moon is tidally locked with Earth, which means that it spins on its axis exactly once each time it orbits our planet. Because of this, people on Earth only ever see one side of the Moon, which is called motion synchronous rotation by astronomers.

you can understand its motion better on the film below:

Like Earth, the Moon has a day side and a night side, which change as the Moon rotates. The Sun always illuminates half of the Moon while the other half remains dark, but how much we are able to see of that illuminated half changes as the Moon travels through its orbit. This is what created phases, shown on the image below.

source

moon's special position as a satellite resulted in one interesting event- the eclipses. both solar and lunar eclipses were assigned a special meaning in history, because of their wonderful visual effects.

lunar eclipses occur at the full moon phase. When Earth is positioned precisely between the Moon and Sun, Earth’s shadow falls upon the surface of the Moon, sometimes making it even reddish. the moon’s bloody color during that state was something very important to folklore, and all allegories to quarrels, battles, and bloodshed between the gods of the sky were related to it.

Another form of eclipses involving the moon, Solar eclipses happen only at the new moon phase when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun. During a solar eclipse, the Moon casts a shadow on Earth, and blocks or partially blocks our view of the Sun.

Solar eclipses occurred even rarely than the lunar, so their rare occurrence made an even greater impact on folklore and mythologies. In Mayan culture (by the way, Mayans were reaally advanced in astronomy for their time- they could predict the alignment of the stars for a few years before and created their famous Mayan calendar for thousands of years ahead.) during the solar eclipse, the god of destruction Kuluklan was to devour the world and then remake it.

source

contrary to popular belief, solar eclipses happen as often as lunar- but they are mostly partial and can be seen from only a specific place on the earth. Besides, the moon’s orbit is elliptical and tilted, so sometimes its shadow can be too high above the earth or too low for the eclipse to happen.

Alright! enough about the moon’s motion and origin. let's talk about the silver satellite itself.

CONDITIONS ON MOON AND THE MOON ITSELF

since conditions on the moon and its terrain are very different from what we know on earth, there is a special branch of science dedicated to it- its selenography or selenology.

Wait, why dedicate a special branch of science to a small globe, without any atmosphere, tectonic plates, or first of all, without any form of life, which makes it impossible for any form of soil, biosphere, or erosion there to happen, you could say.

Yeah, you could think that Moon is just a dead place, filled with rocks and dust (because, partially, it is), but in my opinion, it’s worth giving it a moment of your attention.

But first things first.

what are the conditions on the moon??

Because of the fact, there is no water or atmosphere on the moon ( the gravitational force there is too low to keep an atmosphere around the planet, and due to this, any water that would appear on the silver globe would evaporate in the blink of the eye), the amplitude of temperatures is very high: from +110C in the middle on the day to -180C in the middle of the night. Because of the lack of atmosphere, there is no sound or wind on the moon, so the legendary footprint of Buzz Aldrin remained in the same state after all these years. Another important difference between Earth and Moon is the duration of days (one moon day equals two earth weeks! Everything because of the synchronous rotation, so half the cycle for a day, and a half for a night) and gravity, which is 6 times weaker on the moon than on Earth- meaning, if you were to jump on the moon, you could jump 6 times higher.

As I said before, the moon has no protection from the cosmic ray and very high albedo (the ability to reflect light, measured in percents) because of the silver and white color of the surface- so the American flag put on the moon during the moon landing has now completely turned white.

The lack of atmosphere has also a great impact on the terrain of our satellite- in contrast with Earth, the moon has no atmosphere to shield it from meteorites, so it is all bruised with all sorts of craters and cavities, making them the most popular formation on the globe. They reach a really impressive expanse -because of no atmosphere, even a small meteorite, weighing about 5kg, could make a hole in the moon with a diameter of about 9 meters. nearly a half-million of the craters found on the moon has a diameter of over one kilometer.

The greatest crater on the moon, South Pole Aitken Basin, located on its south pole, is the biggest crater of our solar system, with a diameter of over 2200 kilometers. Another impressive crater worth mentioning is Mare Imbrium (Sea of rains from Latin), with a diameter of around 1120 km. You can see it on the photo below as a big, dark spot visible on the northeast of the hemisphere.

Apart from craters, the moon has also seas (mare), lakes (lacus), and bays (sinus)- but don’t feel confused, there is no water or liquids there! they’re all names for formations made from congealed magma, and they can be seen as the darker spots on the moon. interestingly, they exist nearly only on the visible side of the moon.

There are also mountains and mountain ranges on the moon- they’re covered with moon dust, called regolith (its a rare, grey dust, made from temperature erosion (congelifraction) of moon’s rocks and materials smashed into moon's surface by many meteorites and comets. The highest moon mountain is called Mons Agnes, and we can spot its range as lighter features on the moon’s surface.

HISTORY OF MOON’S EXPLORATION

I’m pretty sure it didn’t come to you as a surprise there are different geological formations on the moon. however, it hasn't always been obvious. In the middle ages, people thought the moon is a perfectly smooth sphere, as a work of God, it cannot be marked with highlands or bruised with craters. It had changed after Galileo’s and Johannes Hevelius' (polish: Jan Heweliusz) works and observations, but still, only the cold war space race made us aware of what the markings and dots on the moon’s surface are precisely, and made us unravel a lot of other moon's mysteries.

The first probe to reach the moon’s surface was the Russian probe Luna 2, and the first American probe to land on the moon and examine it was Surveyor 1- it created the first photographic documentation of the moon from its surface.

After that, both sides of the conflict gathered information about the moon, tried to land on it, investigated it from its orbit, until the Moon Landing- the climax of the space race. on July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong, the Apollo 11 mission commander, was the first man to set his foot on the moon. After that, a few other apollo missions visited the moon as well, and during them, many sets of research instruments were installed, for example, ALSEP (Apollo lunar surface experiment package) research stations- they were equipped with heat sensors, seismometers, magnetometers and many more, to investigate the moon more effectively from the earth.

Until today, the last person to walk on the lunar soil was Eugene Cernan, a member of the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972. Although flights to the moon have been abandoned since then, as they are now considered unprofitable, Russia has announced the sending of landers and probes from the Luna program to further study the moon in 2022, as well as they declared, they plan to start the work on the colonization of the moon by the end of 2030.

Is it possible to happen? Well, I think it’s hard to say.

many people believe that the faded flag on the moon is a sign of surrender and giving up on the moon by us, as humanity. however, I still think that the moon could be an important stop when it comes to future space missions to Mars, nearby planetoids, or literally anywhere else in the universe.

it is also considered as a place that could be potentially used for colonization, but I will get in more details of it in another post. Some companies are also considering commercial flights to the moon, but so far none have taken place and they are all in the status of planning. We’re only left to hope that we have not left Moon for good and that we will manage to find reasons to continue missions and research about it.
