Summary: Lan Wangji gets married knowing one thing: his husband is his equal. Kay's comments: Sometimes you just need that good-old arranged marriage angst/misunderstandings combo. This one hit really good, with Wei Wuxian trying his best to make his marriage to Lan Wangji work and Lan Wangji just so unhappy with an arranged marriage that he lashes out until he chases Wei Wuxian away and immediately regrets it, because suddenly, his life is boring and lonely again. Wei Wuxian in this story is just a little unhinged at one point. Excerpt: "Am I so repulsive? I get that you can love someone else, but if there's someone to hate, it's not me but your brother!" Lan Wangji flinches, remembering endless fights with Lan Xichen. But it is easier to hate Wei Ying than xiongzhang, who does everything to protect the family. Even if it costs him his own brother. “I don't want to know you," is all Lan Wangji manages. "Yeah, I fucking gathered."

I love how Falin and Marcille have the gay ass bath scene that we can all agree is Very Yuri but Laios on the other hand is on some other type of gay shit with a guy who wants him dead but also as a friend (homosexual) but also yeah definitely dead.

The Touden siblings and the ppl that are murder crazy in love(?) with them to some extent.

Catherine Morland would have absolutely loved Tumblr, liking and reblogging about a million gifsets and metas per day and constantly falling in love with yet another ship and fandom!

I’ve been having thoughts about a robot AI that has control over a facility. Not in a horror way. But in a “it’s more efficient to have a robot in control of production lines” way. And being the engineer tech that comes in and makes sure everything is running correctly.

Opening panels. Tugging at wires. The AI is enamored at being taken care of by such a tiny little human and wishes to take care of them as well.

It’s starts with offering water, “Humans should drink water once ever 45 minutes”. Turning into, “You have not slept in over 10 hours” and grabbing the little human in metallic claws strong enough to crush platinum, but they just want to put the human in a makeshift bed for them.

and suddenly the human starts to feel some heat in their groin at this treatment and it occurs to the AI that humans have other needs too.

It's programing doesn't allow for feelings of affection. But that doesn't stop the AI from... appreciating the efficiency of having one human engineer heading its maintenance for so long. It's simply more efficient that way (and tooootally wasn't anything else!) So I don't really think much of it when the AI is much more doting upon my return from an unexpected sick leave.

Maybe the AI starts paying closer attention to my workaholic nature, noticing all the ways I ignore my system maintenance to focus on its own. And, the AI reasons, it's perfectly reasonable for it to put resources towards my own upkeep. If it keeps me in working order, I can keep it working. Perfectly reasonable.

If it takes a sort of pride in making my heart rate increase with its kind words and gestures, well. No one has to know.

Maybe I let slip that I consider the AI my closest companion, spending so much of my time reparing it and climbing through its wires that I don't have ant left for human connection, but I wouldn't change a thing. And that doesn't sit right with the AI.

It knows that humans have needs, of course it does. And if it's favourite human has no one helping perform vital system upkeep like physical touch and sexual release, then it's only logical that it would help with that too. Purely for performance reasons. The sweet noises I make are just an added bonus.

Being a Fae's broodmare might no be so bad, they probably be more then happy to give you whatever you want (except for freedom) if you agree to be their happy little breeding toy. I bet they can even make sure you don't experience any of the bad side effects of pregnancy, even labor would be easy, and they'd ensure you bounce back right after so they can stuff you with another baby.

Just imagine it, spending your days cockwarming your fae partner as your pampered and praised endlessly. They like to show you off too, how happy you are to be breed and how many children you've given them.

God bless the anon that sent in that first ask 🙏

Ohhh, now if you actually agree to it under certain conditions and such... 👀👀 Imagine how delighted your fae would be! A willing little human to breed and keep around, isn't that lovely? Who knew people like you existed! What was that about wanting to see your family and friends from time to time? Just silly noise, that's all. I think they’d do anything to keep you happy and healthy, in the way we treat pets - just with more power and magic. And how can you be a good broodmare and keep on bearing their children when you’re traumatized by the pains of pregnancy and child birth? (Not to mention that they simply can’t stand the thought of you experiencing so much pain- you’re simply too cute for that, no?) You’ll never have to worry about that - they keep you nice and safe, you’ll go through as little discomfort as possible. But I can see some fae, especially the more whimsical ones, keeping you fully aware for a birth or two as punishment - it all depends on your captor, in the end... Some spirits I grew up with a pretty volatile and downright mean, even a wrong look could throw them off 🤭

If the curse of Delos was to provide an anchor for the soul that used the physicians cure then… it’d be fitting that the soul would have to stay on Delos.

And there’s a lot of existential horror on the mirroring of Calypso’s curse with this new one Leo comes back to life with. They’d have made their choices- Calypso to support her father and Leo to meddle with magic he didn’t understand- but would have never expected these to be the consequences.

And it’s not the same of course, because there are people on Delos, and it’s a real place people can find. They can find it way more easily for the same reason Leo is trapped there now- it’s anchored in place. Leo could also probably leave for short periods of time but would get sick or start fading away. And he probably would at the beginning, because he’s so used to running when he doesn’t feel safe. And he’s started running toward something now that he has people he loves. And because I work platonic Calypso and Leo soulmates into everything, it would be really interesting if this extended to her as well in some capacity. Not that she’s trapped on Delos too, because she deserves her freedom but that Ogygia is a somewhat neutral spot for Leo. Like, when he came back to life and went to get her, he didn’t start feeling any ill effects until they got back to the real world.

His friends hear, either because Calypso manages to tell them or he gets a letter through and while they’re so relieved and happy, well, how are they supposed to get to him when he’s back in the Mediterranean Sea? The only reason they were able to make it there in the first place was because of Leo. Reyna nearly died trying the trip without a ship. Nico’s too weak to shadow travel there and Hazel isn’t practiced enough to do it herself yet.

Frank knows what it’s like to have his soul tethered to something he doesn’t want, and Hazel knows what it’s like to be stuck somewhere she doesn’t want to be. Everyone is trying to think of something they can do to change this, to make it so he can leave. They can’t even ask Apollo for advice because Zeus… did something to him and Artemis has gone off into the wilderness to the point where even her hunters can hardly contact her. The only one that doesn’t actually let this get in his way is Jason. He’s packing a little hobo bindel and buying a hotspot so he can video call with Annabeth and the other Hephaestus kids about building those shrines he’s promised because hello, his best friend is alive and it’s possible to reach him and well, if that’s the only place Leo can be, then okay, Jason will just move there too.

The man truly can’t take a genuine compliment 🙄

MORE LAW SWEETNESS

I’ve been rewatching Dressrosa yesterday and this scene i had totally forgotten about happenned:

and i just GHJGFTYJKULIUIGFFXDRTFYGUHIUGHFRSDTFHGJHI !

Yes baby ! Tell that arrogant bird that you’ll never be like him !

Fuck Mingo, and fuck everything he represents !

godddd I wish your knot was making me cry - @nimh-nsfw

Yeah? Want me to stretch your tight ass out on my knot? Fuck you until you can't breathe? Why don't you come off anon and beg me proper, Nimh? Pretty boy, would love to have you on your knees begging me to give you my cock. So fucking desperate for it.

I was swarmed by thoughts yesterday, mostly about Steve Harrington learning that Boys can be Pretty too��️. It started as just a little thing and turned into a big thing and i need to get it out.

Main thoughts about this topic though:

After the upside down is gone and everyone moves back to Hawkins, Steve starts getting to know the Hopper-Byers kids better. Will through Eddie and Dustin, El through Max.

Hellfire has two weekly sessions, one with everyone on Saturdays at Steve’s house (the corroded boys are still weirded out by this, but Steve’s cooking/baking has warmed them to him a lot), and one on Thursdays for the kids at Eddie’s place.

Side note: i think Eddie and Wayne decided it was time for him to get his own space after everything that happened (Wayne also sees how his boy looks at the Harrington kid and decides that it’s better for them to have a private space) so they both get their own trailers. They place them right next to each other, with Max’s there too. The three trailers make a sort of u shape, all facing inward.

On Saturdays everyone goes to Steve’s house, even if they aren’t playing. They refuse to miss out on Steve’s cooking, and he gets more company is his big ass house. But on Thursdays, Robin and Nancy have date night so Steve is on his own, until Max calls him and asks him to join her and El for girls night. He immediately says yes and now, when he drops the kids off at Eddie’s for Hellfire, he walks over to Max’s trailer and hangs with Max and El.

They are the ones who introduce him to make up, because they pester him until he lets them practice on him. He gives token arguments at best, but always concedes and as they keep practicing, he finds he likes it more and more. He starts discretely writing down product names and buying them for himself to practice at home, until he suddenly has to drag his mother’s old vanity down from the attic to put in his room for all the make up he’s collected.

He gets pretty organizers and brushes for himself, setting it all out proudly on the vanity in his room. Robin is the only one who ever really goes in there so it’s not a big deal.

He talks to Robin about it, because he knows he’s a boy but he like girly things, and she assures him that it’s okay, they have definitely seen weirder things than a boy who likes make up. After that talk she starts shopping with him, and eventually (after she begs him to loop her in) Nancy joins them and now Steve has two people to help him.

His vanity now has make up and pretty hair clips and bows, necklaces and bracelets on a little tree, clip on earrings in a bowl (he’s still too nervous to get his ears actually pierced). Then, he asks Rob and Nance to help him buy some new clothes. Nancy digs out Steve’s mother’s sewing kit and they measure him, figuring out what sizes he would be, and then drag him out to the stores. When he comes home with some new soft shirts in pretty colors and a couple honest to god skirts, he feels lighter than air.

Of course, because his children have no manners, his secret doesn’t stay secret for long. It’s a lazy day for Steve. It’s a Friday in August and he has no work today, so he decides to indulge himself a bit. He does his make up the way he likes, puts a couple clips in his hair the way Nancy showed him and pulls out one of those skirts. He’s in the kitchen, feeling happy and comfortable in his skin as he dances along to the radio when he hears a crash behind him.

All of his idiot children are there. Max and El are beaming at him, so excited to see their work led to something. Mike looks constipated (not too unusual for him), Lucas looks confused for about 10 seconds before he shrugs and tosses an arm around Max’s shoulders, seemingly deciding that he doesn’t care. Will won’t look Steve in the eye, and he can see on blush under that horrible bowl cut (Steve had figured out Will since they started talking and he’s been meaning to have a chat with him, but that’s a later thought). Dustin looks like Steve is a puzzle, but he’s missing the picture. And then Steve realizes who is with them.

Eddie is standing there, looking like someone slapped him across the face. Suddenly, Steve is twice as nervous because, though he won’t admit it to anyone but Robin and Nancy, he really really likes Eddie. Thankfully though, Eddie snaps out of it pretty quickly and smiles at Steve as he pushes his way through the sea of teens to give Steve a hug. He whispers in his ear as he does this, telling him it’s okay and he looks very pretty.

Eventually the kids stop freaking out so much and, after many many questions, decide that this isn’t the weirdest thing in the world, just like Robin said.

And, if Eddie leaves Steve’s that day and speeds to Robin’s house to beg her for advice on asking Steve out because “i just saw Steve in a skirt, I cannot control myself anymore and I need to do something immediately.” Then that’s his business. But when, a week later at the Saturday Hellfire session, Eddie grabs Steve’s hand on his way back to the kitchen after dropping off snacks, and presses a kiss to the back of it, then it’s everyones business.

My second fic for the SSOblr BigBang 2024 is up!

Halloween's around the corner, South Hoof Peninsula's buzzing with life, but someone still hasn't shown up.

What better way to pass the time than eating a delicious, warm dinner?

I'm happy to announce that I was partnered with Wickedfang who did this really pretty art piece!

Thank you @froggistain for organizing this event!!
