his girl

summary: chris’ gf convinces him to make fresh love skirts

warnings: hair pulling, face fucking (kinda) nothing super crazy :3 super long tho, you can skip to the hearts, that’s where the fun stuff starts :>

my boyfriends brand has really been taking off lately. he’s reaching people outside of his fans so he’s been trying to add more clothing types. i suggested he should make a tennis skirt, just a simple one with the logo on it. he loved this idea and started getting it in the works.

once chris got them in he surprised me with it, a short white tennis skirt with “FRESH LOVE” on the right side. it was cuter than i could’ve ever imagined. he said that since i came up with the idea he wanted me and some of my friends to be the models for it. i, of course, said yes and texted madi and some of my other girlfriends.

they all said yes so chris set up the shoot date and told us all when to be there. i told chris i’d meet him there with the girls. i wanted to pick up my ladies and get hyped up before.

i picked them up, listening to madi’s “badbitch” playlist the whole way. i texted chris that we were there and he was already out front to show us where to go. he led us into the studio that had a little leather loveseat and an arm chair, the set looked good. chris got pulled away for “business” stuff so the girls and i made out way to the dressing room area. it was super cool, like something out of a movie, there were a bunch of mirror with lights around them over vanities with cute stools in front of each one. one of the makeup artists saw us oogling the room and pulled us all in, introducing us to the three people that would be doing our hair and makeup. we all took seats while they got all their stuff set up and we got started.

chris had asked me before what kind of makeup i thought we should do. i told him something simple so we didn’t take away from the clothes. my artist put me in a light but pigmented blue eyeshadow, lowkey winged eyeliner, mascara, some clear lip gloss and a shit ton of glittery highlighter. i loved the way it looked. madi and the other girls had something similar, altered based on their face shape, skin tone and what outfit they’d be in. we decided simple curls would be best, everyone’s being a bit different due to their hair type but it looked better that way.

it was time to get dressed and i was psyched. even though i had seen the skirts, i hadn’t tried them on. my skirt was white with the blue “fresh” and “love” heart on the corner, it hugged my hips perfectly and was just long enough to cover me. my stylist and i decided it would go best with a blue and white striped sweater. the other girls had different logo variations on their skirts, madi had the little deer while my other friend wore one with the “F” and the heart by it. we had all brought our own simple silver jewelry to go with our outfits and we decided we needed a little something more. madi slipped on some below the knee socks that ended up being over the knee anyway and i had some white knitted leg warmers. chris had already picked out shoes for every outfit, all sneakers of course. we slipped them on and tied them, giggling and squealing about how hot we looked. we took some pictures in the mirrors before chris knocked on the door.

“yall decent in there?” he slowly opened the door, showing his hand over his eyes. i said yes and he uncovered his eyes.

“you guys look great, we ready?” he said to all of us but he didn’t take his eyes off mine. the girls all said yes, making their way out the door past chris. i was behind them all hoping to see chris for a moment. i walked up to him, he looked me up and down, starting at the hem of my skirt, going all the way up to my head before looking back at my shoes.

“one of your shoes is untied baby”

“oh shit” i said as i began to kneel down to tie them

“let me do it” he beat me to the floor, sitting on one knee. he tied my shoe in a very methodical and particular way, then looked up at me and it was like the butterflies in my stomach had been given crack. he pushed himself up off his knee and slinked his arm around my waist. leaning into me, he moved my hair out of the way of my neck so he could leave a wet open mouthed kiss on my neck below my ear.

“you look so fucking good” he whispered in that low sultry voice i love so much. he placed a short kiss back below my ear and pulled away, leaving me standing there, frozen. chris started walking, noticing that i wasn’t behind him, he stopped and looked back at me. he held his hand out for me to grab, innocently staring at me as if nothing had happened. we both knew what he was doing, i could play that game too.

we started the shoot with pictures of just us girls in cute poses that showed off the skirts. i made sure to keep eye contact with chris, every time i looked back at him his pupils had dilated so his eyes were almost completely black when we were done.

after we had gotten all the ones of the girls, the director waved chris over.

“okay we’re gonna do some with just chris and his girl” he stated loudly, hinting for the other girls to move off set. they were done for the day so they started collecting their things. chris and i did some basic shots, sitting next to each other on the couch with his arm around me before he got up and sat in the arm chair next to the couch. i looked at him confused.

“come sit on my lap” i gave him a look but he tapped his thigh beckoning me over. i walked over to him, thinking this would be the perfect time to tease him a bit. i got situated on one of his thighs and crossed my legs. i could feel his very obvious half boner beneath my hip, realizing why he wanted me to sit on his lap. we took quite a few pictures, altering the position slightly every other shot. everytime i moved on him i made sure to press whatever body part was convenient to the area, pulling soft groans from him while he gave me warning looks.

we had finished with the shoot but i wasn’t satisfied. i got up off his lap, a tiny whine coming from him at the loss of pressure. i pulled one of the rings from my fingers and “accidentally” dropped it in front of me.

“whoops” i said almost comically. i bent down to pick up the ring, my backside turned to him, giving him a full view of my light blue lady panties i had on underneath the skirt. i stood back up slowly and wiggled my hips a bit, essentially shaking my ass in his face. when i turned to face him his eyes were dark, the smallest ring of blue surrounding his pupils. he adjusted himself as subtly as he could before standing up and walking past me.

chris went to wrap up the business end of the shoot and i made my way back to the dressing room. i passed my friends who had called their boyfriends to pick them up, saying quick goodbyes. when i got to the dressing room, madi was on one of the little stools.

“hey do you need a ride home?”

“nah my moms gonna take me, she’s just finishing up with the photographers and stuff”

“oh okay”

“dude, chris has been looking at you like he wants to eat you all day”

i blushed a little, slightly embarrassed that she had noticed our behavior.

“yeah i might’ve teased him a bit, i might be fucked”

“yeah i should hope so” we laughed over my choice of words, continuing to talk before we heard laura speak behind us. she stood in the door way with chris next to her with the scariest smile i’ve ever seen on his face.

“ready madi?”

“yep” she got up and grabbed her bag. “good luck” she whispered to me.

“you guys good?” laura asked chris and i. i started to respond but he beat me to it.

“yeah we’re fine” he said, not breaking eye contact with me.

they said their goodbyes and chris watched them turn a corner before closing the door locking it behind him.

🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀

“you’ve been quite the tease today” he said while making his way over to the vanity i was sitting at. i stayed seated, too nervous to move.

once he was in front of me, he caressed my cheek, slowly moving his hand to the back of my neck.

“nothing to say now?” he taunted, tilting his head to the side. i opened my mouth slightly, trying to get any words out but i truly had nothing to say. he quickly moved his hand to the back of my neck, weaving his fingers into my hair before harshly pulling. my head flung backward, making me gasp louder than i would’ve liked.

“i asked you a fucking question slut”

“n-no daddy, just wanted to have a little fun”

“oh we’re gonna have a lot of fun” the knot in my stomach becoming tighter at his words. he moved his face closer, ghosting his lips against mine.

“are you gonna be good baby?”

“yes daddy, wanna make you feel good”

he finally connected our lips and tugged on my hair again, causing me to open my mouth just enough for him to slide his tongue in. his tongue ran over ever inch of my mouth, claiming it as his own.

“get on your knees sweet girl” he released my hair from his grip. i pouted at his order, the floor was basically concrete. his eyes didn’t soften though so i gave in, moving off my stool and kneeling on the cold hard floor in front of him. he moved his hand back to my cheek while undoing his belt and pants with the other hand.

“so pretty for me baby” he cooed, letting his cock spring up out of his boxers and slap his stomach. i looked up at him for permission and he nodded his head ever so slightly.

i licked my way up the underside of him, feeling every individual vein on my tongue before taking the tip into my mouth. i sucked on just the tip for a second while he watched me, neither of us breaking eye contact. i slowly took more of him into my mouth, making him let out a soft groan.

“fuck so good baby” i moaned at his praise, sending vibrations down his cock. this made him grab the top of my head by my hair and force himself down my throat, making me gag and struggle.

“i know baby, breathe through your nose… just like that, that’s my girl” i did as he said, breathing through my nose as calmly as i could. the second i got used to it, he began slowly fucking my mouth, his speed increasing with every thrust as he used me. at this point i was drooling and had tears running down my face, stained black from the makeup.

“i’m close baby” he warned me. i was trying to prepare myself for his load when he shot hot cum down my throat. i gagged before swallowing, keeping his gaze. i was catching my breath when he leaned down in front of me.

“what do you say sweetheart?”

“thank you daddy”

“good girl, i think you deserve a reward, don’t you?” i smiled and nodded frantically, making him chuckle.

he stood up, reaching his hands out for me to grab. he helped me up, making sure i was stable before taking his hands back to slip his shirt off. i stood staring at his torso, mesmerized by every inch of him. he smiled before grabbing at the hem of my sweater and pulling it off me.

“turn around, lean on the table” referring to the vanity behind me. i followed his orders, shuddering as i laid my stomach on the cold surface. i looked up to see him standing behind me via the mirror attached to the vanity, smirking.

he reached up under my skirt to grab my panties before dragging them down my legs. he left small kisses on the backs of my thighs and calves in his wake, causing the puddle in between my legs to grow. he ran one of his hands up the inside of my leg, making me whine louder as he got closer to where i needed him. he finally placed his hand over my pussy while bringing his other hand to unclasp my bra.

“so wet for me baby”

i whimpered at his words, “please daddy, need you”

he said nothing before slipping a finger into me at an agonizingly slow rate. i let out frustrated moans, desperate for more.

“use your words angel”

“more please, i need more” he slipped a second finger into me, giving into my pleas.

“fuck thank you daddy” he was thrusting his two fingers into me at the perfect pace, i could feel myself coming undone.

“daddy gonna cum, can i cum?” i babbled out.

“go ahead baby, cum all over my fingers”

i let go with his permission, my legs shaking from the pleasure. before i could fully come down from my high, i felt something prodding my entrance. i looked up into the mirror, meeting his gaze. he looked to me for consent, i nodded my head, not being able to stand another second without him inside me. he pushed into me, watching my face contort with pleasure, not once breaking eye contact.

chris wasted no time, instantly pounding into me at an insane pace, his hands squeezing my hips. the feeling overtook my body, forcing my head down on the table. he weaved his fingers through my hair to pull my head up roughly, forcing me to face the mirror.

“look at yourself while i’m fucking you”

i let out a high pitched squeal as he sped up his thrusts, i could feel myself nearing the edge.

“daddy fuck can i cum?”

“do you think you deserve to cum slut?”

“please daddy i’ve been so good”

“i think you should beg me”

i threw my dignity out the window, needing to cum more ever.

“please daddy please let me cum” he just stared at me, unconvinced.

“fuck- PLEASE”

“love when you beg me like a whore, go ahead, cum all over me” i let go before he could even finish his sentence.

“fuck i love when you cum on my cock, so fucking tight” he grunted out. his sharp thrusts became uncoordinated and sloppy.

i heard him let out a loud groan before i felt him release inside me, the feeling so incredible, so warm and full, i could stay there forever. he fucked into me slowly, riding out his high before leaning down to lay on my back.

i turned my head to him, “i think you should make panties next”

a/n: sorry this is so late and so fucking long holy shit. i’ve had this idea for like 2 weeks now but didn’t rly know how to execute it. i really like how it turned out, hope yall feel the same :3

Foreshadowing/Parallels Concerning Mikey's Mystic Powers

Mikey is my boy, and I keep thinking about how well the show set up his role as a mystic warrior in the movie. I don’t know if someone else has made a compilation of foreshadowing Mikey’s mystic skills, but I figured I’d make one just in case. (These examples are from conversations I’ve had with friends, posts I’ve seen online, and my own observations.)

The first episode has the most references to Mikey’s innate sensitivity to mystic things. When April falls through the portal, Mikey is the one to stop and look at the mystic symbol and identify it first.

Then after Raph fails to draw the symbol, "the artist" steps in and opens the portal on his first try.

After the turtles have taken mystic weapons from Draxum’s lab, none of the weapons activate until April gets knocked down.

I like to interpret this as our first hint as to where the Hamato Clan’s mystic power originates: trusting and protecting your loved ones. While trying to protect April, Mikey is the first to discover the mystic powers of his weapon, followed by Raph and Leo.

The next example is less foreshadowing and more demonstrating Mikey’s trust in his brothers, which again, is critical for the Hamato Ninpo. In “Bug Busters,” not long after Raph unlocks his hologram power to save Leo, the next scene parallels it. Donnie and Mikey are trying to escape Big Mama, and Donnie tells Mikey to “let go” while flying high above the street, and Mikey immediately does so.

The next example is a loosey-goosey interpretation, but it made me happy when I noticed it. In “The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek,” Mikey tries to sneak up on Splinter by using “lights-off jitsu.” After watching the movie, it’s a fun parallel to see him with his hands up and the yellow sun above, not unlike the bright portal he opens in the future.

Then he tries the clap again later in the episode and succeeds. I really enjoy this paralleling his multiple attempts to use his mystic hands in the movie before he finally does open a portal. This boy is determined when he sets his mind to it.

In “Many Unhappy Returns,” Mikey accurately predicts when the Shredder will reappear. It was probably just a lucky guess, but I like to imagine that Mikey used some kind of mystic sense.

Then there's the classic boat dock scene with Mikey throwing a whole cargo boat. It’s a whole new level of his weapon’s power, which is followed by Raph doing something similar in manipulating his hologram.

The next example of more explicit foreshadowing comes in my favorite episode: “The Clothes Don’t Make the Turtle.” While the turtles are all excited to try on clothes, Mikey resists the group’s enthusiasm three times before they all are finally convinced that something is wrong.

He also leads the first attempt to break the spell through self-acceptance.

Even though it doesn’t work, it might have worked eventually, judging by Hypno’s comment later in the episode.

Aaaand that’s all I got for now! I’ll add more if I notice any other foreshadowing/hints/parallels. :)

Hi! Could I get a BG3 matchup?

I'm a bi tguy so men or woman are great. I'm short about 5'2". Dark, waxy hair that's tapered on the sides. Hazel eyes. Slim and pretty weak physically.

ENFP. Leo. I think I'm smart and funny, softhearted. I'm very stubborn, I take a while to form a strong opinion but when I do I stand by those beliefs. I'm very loyal to a fault even if the person is bad for me. I try to be there emotionally for the people I care about. I'm a bit insecure especially when I comes to how much other actually like me but I try to hide it behind confidence. I'm a big reader. One of my favorite hobbies is analyzing media (music, books, anything) picking it apart for themes and ideas. I'm an aspiring writer that also paints when I have time. I also love going hiking/exploring new places. I'd be open to poly but it wouldn't be a requirement.

A/N: Alright for you my ENFP Leo Anon, I’m thinking you’d go best with… Astarion!

⭐ Astarion would be a wonderful match for you! He’s extroverted and dramatic and very stubborn himself. But at the same time, once he forms a connection, he’s very loyal.

Because you’re an extroverted Leo, you crave a bit of drama and excitement in your life. You also tend to want to dominate social situations (of course, this doesn't mean talking all the time, but you like the feeling of being in control of a situation). You’re not afraid to act to get what you want and to change the environment around you to suit those wants. Astarion is very similar. He’s social and charming, and a drama queen at times- something to amuse you. He can also be assertive when he’s not feeling insecure, and in his past, it sounds like he had a fairly decent status and prestige, something you as a Leo, would appreciate sharing in.

Astarion is pansexual, so gender isn’t a factor in who he’s attracted to. But as he says in the game, “[He] has standards.” And you absolutely meet them!

He loves your dark hair, even more so when you pick up a loose strand of his, and place it next to yours, showing him the contrast between his silver locks and your dark ones. And your eyes! He thinks they’re mesmerizing. I mean, he would know, since he is a vampire and vampires do ensnare people, so I’d take his word for it if I were you. Asatrion’s pretty lithe himself, so the two of you look evenly statured when standing next to one another. And he doesn’t mind that you’re not strong. He’s not super strong himself. Physical strength, in his mind, is overrated.

Astarion is also rather slow to open up to people, but once he decides he can trust you, he’s a loyal lover. He’s never had anyone truly care about him before the way you do. It’s almost overwhelming, sort of intoxicating, in the best sense. Then again, it does have some warning signs. He’s been through so much, he might latch on to you, and refuse to let go, even if it hurts him or you. Because you mention you share a similar problem, you would have to be on the lookout for signs of toxic codependency, but you would otherwise share a very strong, intense, unbreakable bond.

Also similar to you, Astarion hides his insecurities about being liked behind a facade of charisma. But deep down, he cares what others think of him. He doesn’t want to be seen as a monster or a victim, but he worries that’s how he often comes across. He’s extremely grateful to you for understanding this part of him. And he’s honored to be able to try and help you with yours. He thinks you’re wonderful. You’re fun, creative, and passionate- all traits he thinks more people should praise you for. But no worries if they don’t. He promises to fill that void with as many compliments as possible. Seriously, it might get annoying after a while how often he hits you up with a, ‘Hello, darling. Your artwork is looking especially exquisite today. I should start stockpiling it now, so I can sell it for 3x the price once you become a famous artist.’

Astarion loves that you like to read. He enjoys being out and about, amongst the people, but it's always nice to be able to wind down with a good book. He loves sitting down with you, sharing a good vintage, discussing the themes of a book or show the two of you have recently enjoyed.

He’d enjoy going for walks or hikes with you. Unnecessary physical exercise isn’t a favorite of his, but he’d travel to the hells and back, so long it meant you’d stay at his side.

If you’d want to add another person to your relationship, Astarion wouldn’t be against it. So long as your bond is strong. He needs reassurance you won’t leave him. He loves you too much. He couldn’t bear to lose you.

saw your testimony of your experience being hounded for having a “similar style” to viv on another blog. ty so much for sharing your history there.

i was wondering if you’d be willing to talk about or list what cartoons/movies/comics/art influenced or inspired you/your style.

i’ve long been sick of people lumping other styles in with viv’s as if she’s the first to ever draw like that (as well as viv acting like she is.) and one day when i have the time i’d like to sit down and make an info-graphic of sorts explaining style influence and how it can overlap with other artists even with them never crossing paths.

if you’d rather not engage this tho i completely respect that. and feel free to shoot me a private message if you’d rather not post this ask to your account.

whether or not i hear from ya i hope you have a good one and ty for reading.

That's fine!! I don't mind engaging when people ask my side of things, I just don't want to be a source for other people to post random things through, if that makes sense. I do try to be upfront about my experience and bring it up from time to time because there are constantly new victims, and I don't want anyone to feel alone or like they're the only person having a negative experience. I know that a lot of others are afraid to speak out, so I try to be a story that's open in case anyone else needs validation.

As for stylistic influence, The Nightmare Before Christmas was the earliest movie I remember watching and my grandma had to get it on VHS for me because I watched it like every week. I loved Tim Burton's claymation as well as his live action movies (Beetlejuice, Mars Attacks, Batman, etc.) My favourite American cartoons growing up were Batman the Animated Series (very big stylistic influence), The Grim Adventures, and Animaniacs. I grew up abroad, though, so I had a lot of other influences, Winx Club was extremely popular as well as Sailor Moon, so I picked up a lot of habits in my anatomy from those (I think automatically associating ice with villains is also something I picked up from that). But the very long legs compared to bodies is definitely a prevalent thing in media I liked, I even had these dolls (they were called Hi Glamm dolls if you want to look them up) who had legs twice the length of the rest of their bodies. Don Bluth movies were some of my favourites, especially All Dogs and Anastasia. I read a lot of comics my dad collected as well, in big whole-volume collections, and I remember being very fond of Asterix and Obelix, and Bill Maildin's comics about the military (which might not seem like a big one, but I took a lot of inspiration from his spot-blacking for when I do spot-black).

Other major influences concerned, some of my biggest when it came to making comics were other webcomics, specifically Warrior-U (Aisha Thani) and Lackadaisy (Tracy Butler), both of which have been around on the internet far longer than a certain someone who thinks she invented half the things in these comics. I did see her webcomic and followed webcomics from the circle of comics it was lumped in with (Our Personal Purgatory and Alice and the Nightmare, the latter of which is still ongoing and the former you can see the artist's new comic on Webtoons, it's called Death Sitter). Ironically, a friend linked me to her comic and said "it reminds me of your art so I think you'd like it". I wanted to like it, but she was so overly defensive of her "style" that people were "stealing" and so aggressive toward other issues that it pushed me away from it. She definitely didn't invent the very fluid, cartoony bodies thing with big eyes that everyone equates to her, that came long before with Aisha Thani and Puppetology. From what I've seen, Viv used to have a way more Disney-esque style until she became associated with Puppetology and Dollcreep, so if anyone deserves credit for "inventing" the "style", it's them.

I'm genuinely sad that Warrior-U is still gone, but I need to buy her other comics because her art is amazing. Funnily enough, recollecting this all is what prompted me to go look up her gumroad, and see that there are even more new comics to check out.

I don't mind posting this publicly, I'm very proud of my artistic journey and I'm incredibly happy to share due credit to all of my influences growing up. I'm trying not to make this too long, so hopefully this clears up enough, but if you have follow-up questions then feel free to ask.

Sims photos needed for an Exhibition!

As I said in Chapter 35 of my story Something About us, there will be a Photo Exhibition and I'll have use for other simmers' pictures too :) NOW is the time to send me those pictures! I'm not giving a deadline yet because everything will take me forever anyway (so you’ll have plenty of time!). I'll give a warning when I have a deadline. The pictures may or may not be seen in Chapters 39 and 40 ;)

Think of something artsy, maybe surrealism, maybe photo journalism. This is a Museum of Modern Arts after all, so almost any style goes! (Search the web for “modern photography“ or something if you’re still unsure ;))

By photos I mean pictures taken in TS2/TS3/TS4

You don’t need to have a photographer sim to send photos!

I’ll take 1-3 pictures per artist/simmer

No need to edit the pictures (crop, resize etc.) I’ll do what’s needed :)

Upload them on SFS, imgur or Google drive or similar and share a link with me (or send them via Discord)

I'll probably create a new mesh (or two) to use and I’d love to share it, including all the photos I receive as swatches :)

Let me know if you’d be interested to share photos or have questions (I tried my best but I’m rambly 😆)

Transcript under the cut:

pic1. SOUTH SWAMPTON MUSEUM OF MODERN ARTS, TUESDAY AT 19:00

pic 2. Good evening fellow art lovers! I'm Lily Feng, the Managing director of South Swampton Museum of Modern Arts.

pic 3. Soon, we're opening a grand Photography Exhibition but before that we'll need some photographs!

pic 4. So photographers, artists if you want your shots to be featured in the exhibition, read the instructions below!

oh no another post about something I like

okay here goes

So most people think that, in ace attorney, wright and edgeworth or shipped together due to like. Being two young men in the same franchise. But there’s a whole bunch of other stuff and I have made a handy dandy list of the main reasons, because I love making lists. Also for my non AA fan viewers after reading this list how gay would you say they are? Curious how this looks from an outside view. Okay list time

- well I’m going to be bringing out the big guns first and saying they they’re the only AA characters to have matching wedding rings as their merch (every other character got necklaces)

- edgeworth is noted by the creator to apparently not be interested in women, and also apparently finds phoenix attractive (in a romantic way)

- phoenix changed his entire career and centered his life around meeting edgeworth

- art for ace attorney was done by kumiko suekane, who not only used to write BL but also was very adamant on phoenix and edgeworth being the same/similar age

- that line. Yknow the one. In the first trial where edgeworth makes an appearance, he has a talk with phoenix anout how seeing phoenix again has given him “unnecessary…..feelings”. That’s the quote. It’s gayer in the game.

- edgeworth is noted by gumshoe to repeat phoenixs name for some reason??

- the uh. One game where phoenix calls edgeworth daddy. That was something.

- other gay lines, I csnt include them all but I highly recommend experiencing the games firsthand.

- the second game was purposefully written to make it seem gay. Not like actually, most queerbaiting, but hey.

- the voice actors for the English AA dub have tons of bloopers where they just mess around, and a bunch of that is just them ammong jokes about edgeworth and phoenix being gay

- apparently there’s something about a really gay looking piece of official art? I haven’t seen it nor do I know what it is but I do see it mentioned a lot so. Thought I’d put it down here because it could be significant, what with the artist being a former BL writer.

Alright that’s all the reasons I can think of for now. I also find it important to mention that many people also headcanon edgeworth as being aromantic and/or asexual, which is also an interpretation I like, but that’s another topic and would make a shorter list (in fact, I’ll list the main reasons right here: he’s said to “not want to marry a woman”, he isn’t swayed at all by the attractive women in court when even the judge is, and is the kind of guy who’s “married to his work”, as they say).

Anyways I’ll add a poll too for fun.

Wow that’s a lot of options, even though my posts aren’t really seen by anyone. Still had fun with it though. And that’s what matters.

#ace attorney #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #polls #I should create a tag to separate my fandom stuff from my other posting #idk what to call it though #curse my uncreative username that limits me from cute variations of my name to use as a tag #whatever

YES! BPP! YES! I KNEW YOU'D SHARE MY EXCITEMENT!!!! I don't know anyone in real life who is an army and shares my love for BTS' music and story, so it's so awesome to see a fellow enthusiast gush over such a stellar magnificent artist!!! Yoongi looks so in the zone on the stage. Like he can finally breathe again, like he has found himself again, like he is finding the meaning of his life over and over again. He looks so at home. It's mind boggling how at ease he is in front of 15k(?) ppl?? +

Ask 2: His command of the stage, much less the audience and his music, is impeccable. "Electric" is definitely the word for it. I mean how does he look more relaxed here than his variety/advertisement gigs!? The word natural comes to my mind but I know that's not quite it. It's like how gravity works, like how water flows. He just is. With his music. And I'm just in awe watching him, and thankful. Every time I look at them perform their music, my worry kinda vanishes and it's unbelievably addicting. +

Ask 3: Sorry! I thought I was done but I wasn't!!! Did you know that this is the VERY FIRST MINIMINI LIVE TOGETHER EVER!?!?@! Like what?!? But you know what that's ok cuz they were hilarious and lovely and made me so happy! lol Don't worry tannies, I'm confused about barking thingy, too. haha. Also did you see the crowd control wristband and the arena lightning colors (prudential was awful tho, UBS ftw!!)?? It has to be intentional, right? Along with that rainbow cake, everything is just chef's kiss

Ask 4: BPP, pretty pretty please can you try to describe Yoongi's music? What does he sound like to you?

***

Hi Anon(s),

Yoongi's music sounds like nothing I've heard anywhere else. Nobody, past or present, sounds like Yoongi.

But if I were to make a rough approximation, I'd say his sound is something close to if Hans Zimmer, Jimi Hendrix, Pop Smoke, and Andre 3000 had a four-way, with Eminem directing and filming the whole affair. The product of whatever that is, is kinda close to Yoongi's core soundscape. In my opinion. Yoongi too, more than any other member, loves infusing Korean texture, sounds, and proverbs, into his music and it’s something I really can’t get enough of. In terms of lyrical focus, he's similar to Kendrick Lamar, Lupe Fiasco, and Tablo. Also, from the way Yoongi makes music, you can tell that he plays musical instruments. Yoongi's songs are some of the most fun to play on guitar or keyboard/piano. If any of my followers play guitar, I'd like y'all to actually let me know if you've tried playing Amygdala, and tell me how you felt playing it. (You can DM me if you like.) The music Yoongi makes is angst, it's unapologetically emo, and I'm an emo girl who refuses to outgrow this phase. He makes music for people like me. People who want to scream "burn it!" on the disgusting beat he crafted from scratch. Yoongi makes music for carpenters, sluts, philosophers, queers, parents, rebels, misfits, for anybody who finds themselves caring too much about the world around them, and those who sometimes struggle to know themselves.

I'm just going to stop here because I can't do this. Writing about him is hard.

Let's just talk about how hot he is instead. :)

(Even his scars are pretty)

(…he deadass looks like that. In real life.)

(Yoongi’s vocal inflections fuck me up. By the way. He reveals what he is, every time he uses his tone to make his point. He reveals just how insane he is every time he does that. It drives me mad.)

(He likes to be tied and spanked fyi. He’s recently taken to pouting a lot too. And now barking apparently gets him excited. Any way you look at it, he’s trouble.)

(Yoongi is so beautiful.)

(Pretty)

(Cute)

Anon in ask 3, Yoonmin’s live was the cutest, sweetest, most wholesome and queer interaction I’d seen from the tannies in a good while. I love what they have. Jikook is jikook, but I mean, I actually bias Yoongi. Seeing how he is with Jimin, how he’s always been with Jimin, is impossible for me to ignore. It’s one reason I started paying attention to Jimin in the first place. Anyway, everything about their conversation - the way Yoongi introduced him, the Tony Montana sneak, their mutual barking, the smiles, jokes and stares, the cutting sarcasm and bickering rallies - I’d missed seeing that and I’m glad they shared that moment with us.

I’m really hoping Yoongi is able to keep his health up the whole tour. He goes all out 100% every time he’s on stage, and that would put a strain on even the most fit person alive. His shoulder surgery was ~3 years ago yeah, but he likely still does physical therapy, and excessive use during the tour could strain it again. My hope is for him to be healthy the whole time. And ARMYs who always show up for BTS, being there to be the energy he needs. He deserves all the support he gets.

They made a second issue of that new Pokémon kids magazine I found today.

And this time the cover doesn’t offend my graphic design sensibilities, this is so much better organized. Bravo.

The comics part is a lie btw, it’s an abridged picture book version of one of early Journeys episodes.

Is there some rule they can’t hire a cartoonist to draw a simple Pokemon comic? Be it with Ash, Liko or Roy? I’d be happy to do so, as would many other talented artists who love Pokemon.

This magazine contributes to my feelings Pokémon isn’t advertising HZ much. I think they’re just relying on kids just already knowing and/or the veteran fans pointing them in that direction because this magazine is pure Pokémon Journeys, which in itself is also strange because the previous issue was Master Journeys…

I feel like this is what the Pokemon Company meant when they said anything is possible regarding Ash coming back, because while they want to focus on HZ right now, these magazines are going the opposite direction. Are they not confident in the HZ cast for American merch? (I heard the airship play set in Japan did terribly, but that is also anecdotal.) The social media doesn’t post about HZ very often (though it’s slowly getting a bit better) and when it does, I’ve noticed it largely only focused only on the Pokémon and not the humans unless they have to. They’ve started to do that with older anime clips also, and I’m not sure why that is… The anime via Japan’s broadcast just soft reset into a school anime to focus on Paldea properly for awhile, abandoning the airship plot for now, which doesn’t bode well behind the scenes to me. You don’t change your show this abruptly without executive meddling/reactionary politics going on… Still I’m sure this magazine, if it continues on for a while, will include the HZ cast eventually, maybe they were waiting for a few episodes before committing to anything?

Like I don’t really understand why there wasn’t a better brand synergy with HZ and Scarlet & Violet with this in general. I don’t know how in advance these magazines were made, but mostly avoiding the SV era is very bizarre to me a year & 3/4th’s into this generation. Some Paldean Pokemon crept in the first issue, but they’re absent entirely in the book’s activities pages sans one thing.

An advertisement for new Paldea themed kids books that have apparently come out, though I’ve not personally seen them.

It’s nice seeing anime models for the Paldea Pokemon in new books, I was legitimately worried they weren’t gonna do that anymore. It’s just a personal stylistic preference, similar to how I tend to somewhat prefer the Toei models for Digimon because they’re easier to read than the Bandai ones. Still I’m kinda surprised Pikachu isn’t Captain Pikachu here, and I’m relieved it’s not. I don’t like Captain being the face of social media atm. I never viewed the regular Pikachu as specifically Ash’s before but now it’s just Friede’s, it’s a specific character and I don’t like that. I wouldn’t like it if it was Ash Cap Pikachu either. I get it’s to better advertise HZ but for some reason doing it THAT way rubs me the wrong way. It’s still something though for HZ’s sake. It’s very conflicting…

Tangent aside, this is still the only SV related thing in the book. All the Pokémon within are only up to Galar, and tend to use older 90’s anime stock art for older Pokemon. It’s not a detriment I just find it funny when better anime stock art exists now.

The rag does appear to sell, the first issue copies went pretty quickly, and these just appeared so we’ll see how far this goes. I’m still surprised an official magazine in the era of social media and fan blogs exists.

What I Learned in a D&D Miniature Painting Class PLUS How D&D Miniature Painting Compares to Fashion Doll Repainting !

Originally posted to www.onlyfunthings.org on January 07, 2019

Ciao lovelies! Today’s post is about something I don’t talk about very often- miniature painting! Recently I went to a D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) Miniature painting class and painted a figure. I learned many things from this experience, and I’ll share those with you today, and I’d also like to talk today on how this type of painting differs from repainting a 12inch Fashion doll like Monster High or Ever After High.

As you all probably know if you’ve been following the blog for a while, I’ve done some doll repaints on fashion dolls (Monster High, Barbie and Ever After High), but I have never painted a D&D or tabletop gaming figure before. So I attended a class, and here's what I learned.

This is my final result from the class:

As you can see, I’m clearly a novice at painting figures (and this figure is not based yet). But I learned a great deal in the process of painting this figure.

Some tips I picked up from this class:

- If you’re doing metallic paint do it last and with an old throwaway brush (or a brush specifically for metallics). This is because the metallic glitter flakes can remain on your brush and contaminate other colors that you might prefer to be matte.

- Do a base coat in either white or black depending on the color scheme you want.

- Work bigger areas first and work your way down to smaller details.

- Water your paints down with a little water so they can get into all the little crevices.

- For highlighting, put a little bit of paint on a brush and wipe it off until there’s barely any left on the brush. Then run your brush over your figure. This is called “Dry-Brushing”.

- Using a “Wash” (which is just really watered down paint) can help bring out details and make your figure look really good.

- Using old medicine bottles with poster tack on the bottom can help you hold your figure in place while you paint.

- A suggestion I heard was to use a high gloss sealant first then a matte on top, once the figure starts to look glossy again it’s time to re-seal.

- When cleaning the brush, brush it up against the sides of your water cup, don’t push it down against the bottom.

So now let’s talk about how painting D&D Miniature Figures differs from Fashion Doll Repainting.

For starters, the scale of the figures is obviously different, Monster High and other fashion dolls are in a 1:6 scale, often called “Playscale,” while D&D miniatures I’ve seen estimated at 1:76 scale all the way to 1:54.

Secondly, the materials you use to repaint differs with what you’re working on and the quality, as well as what YOU prefer.

While you can use Acrylic Paint for both fashion doll and D&D figure painting, many fashion doll faceup artists prefer to use MSC (MrSuperClear) sealant and watercolor pencils as opposed to acrylic paint. I personally use acrylic paint because MSC is very expensive, but I’ve done a face-up or two with pencils and I prefer acrylic paint, but that’s just a personal take.

Third, the techniques differ. Even if you’re using acrylic paint for both fashion dolls and D&D miniatures, you’ll be using very different painting techniques. D&D miniature painting seems to be more about covering areas than designing, (though of course there is some design involved). But fashion doll faceups are all about design, as you wipe the face clean usually and start on what’s essentially just a blank canvas. Though both are similar in that there is a high amount of detail.

Personally, I prefer painting fashion dolls than D&D miniatures, but I did enjoy the experience of painting a D&D Figure for the first time.

What do you think? Have you ever painted figures for D&D or other miniature tabletop games? What did you think of the experience? Let us know in the comments!

Remember to Stay Awesome and Love Yourself!

hi!! I loved your anime recommendations, especially the ones about romance, I watched them all and I agree with you on them! so I wanted to ask you if you have more recs on the same genre :) or just ones that you really like please! thank you in advance!

Hello !!!! thank you so much for the ask !! I’m happy you liked the recs :) I’d like to know more about your thoughts on them if you're comfortable because they are some of my favorites,,

anyways, I’ve taken a break from anime for a while, but I do have a few more recs for you if you haven’t already seen them: (this is a very weird mix of anime btw, the themes can jump from complete fluffy goodness to emotional damage so sorry in advance for the very mixed bag I have constructed for you)

1. Sasaki to Miyano

I love this anime so much, it’s so wholesome and it’s always refreshing to me to see lgbtq+ pairings that aren’t absolutely toxic. It follows a boy named Miyano and he slowly starts gaining feelings for Sasaki and coming to terms with his sexuality. All of the characters are super lovable too which is always a plus. Its short, light on angst, and a super cute watch! (Genre: Slice of Life, Romance / 13 Episodes)

2. Orange

Orange put me through some things I’m not gonna lie. It was a very emotional watch for me and that’s why it’s so high up on the list. it’s a bit of a slower anime and it has a lot of layers, but I really enjoyed it personally. It kind of had similar vibes to My Little Monster, but it does have a darker plot. It also has a cool time travel/sci-fi twist without making it to technical (just how I like it). You can really feel for a lot of the characters and I think it makes for a very captivating story. I would recommend it to anyone. (Genre: Drama, Slice of Life, Romance / 13 Episodes)

3. Umibe no Etranger/The Stranger by the Shore

This is a movie, but it’s absolutely stunning. The art and animation is so cool and as an artist I really found myself appreciating the amount of detail. Every scene is gorgeous. It takes place on an island where two people re-connect and fall in love. There’s angst, happiness, and a really pretty vibe to the whole thing. It’s not my favorite, but I do think it’s worth a watch. (Genre: Drama, Romance)

4. Beastars

okay hear me out-- This anime is a little out there, but genuinely really good. The characters being animals threw me off, but the story and the world is insanely well planned and thought out and I was hooked from episode one. It’s definitely not your typical romance, in fact it’s barely a romance, but its definitely present and a part of the the main storyline. It has dark themes and the storytelling is really good. I give this anime an 11/10 and I say that with my full chest. It's just really different from other shows and my pattern-scouting brain can normally guess the plot of an anime by episode three, but not this one, I genuinely had no idea where it was going. (Genre: Drama, " Coming-of-age Drama Fantasy” / 2 Seasons)

5. Horimiya

Just a silly little anime that I did really like. Sometimes I like taking a break from stories that really drag me into the plot and the emotion and just watch lighthearted things that can take my mind off stress for a little bit, and this anime falls into that category. The characters are very modern and the story was actually really refreshing so if you're looking for something like that then this is definitely an anime you should consider watching,, the art style is also gorgeous. (Genre: Romance, Shojo / 13 Episodes)

6. Romantic Killer

A funny/lighthearted anime to mix in with the group incase you would rather save yourself from any angst. It was corny and fun to watch and the art style is really bright and pretty. I also really liked the character designs. I really had to give the anime a good fighting chance, but I did like it after a few episodes. It follows a girl who finds herself stuck in all sorts of stereotypical/trope type romantic scenarios with multiple love interests and she’s just like “this is a no from me” the entire time and it made for a fun watch. It helped take my mind off the day to day, and it’s nice when a show can do that. (Genre: Romantic comedy, Comedy drama / 12 Episodes)

That’s all the romance/romance-ish recs I have at the moment, sorry it took me second to respond I wanted to sit down and answer it correctly when I had the time to do it,, but like I said, send me your full thoughts about them if you're comfortable I’d love to hear and I hope you like some of these ones as well!!

- Have a nice day !!

LANGUAGES I WANT TO LEARN

- Japanese

It makes sense to me that every Korean learner learns Japanese. Not only that, I’m a huge fan of J-rock. Something about the Japanese language and those guitars and drums and the artist screaming just makes my ears feel blessed. I used to be a really big anime fan (I’m trying to get back into it so I can actually finish HxH) but now I prefer J-dramas.

- Thai

Thai is one of my favorite Asian languages. It’s so beautiful and I absolutely love Thai music (especially Thai hiphop). Thai dramas and horror movies are some of my favorite things to watch, too. (I literally love Girl from Nowhere)

- Portuguese

Portuguese has been on my list of languages since I started learning Spanish. If I do learn it, I’d probably go for Brazilian Portuguese rather than European Portuguese. I love the way Brazilian Portuguese sounds!

- Mandarin

I wanted to learn Mandarin before Korean but I couldn’t really find any motivations for it. However, now I really want to learn it because I would love to travel to China one day. Chinese landscape and culture are absolutely astonishingly beautiful.

- Romanian

I honestly don’t know much about Romanian, but I’ve heard it being spoken so much and I absolutely love how it sounds. It just seems interesting to learn.

- Greek

I have a couple friends from Greece and sometimes i see them speaking Greek to each other and it’s so fascinating. The language is literally amazing and don’t get me started on how much I love the writing system 🙏

- Filipino/Tagalog

I have a Filipino aunt, she’s not my blood aunt but I would love to connect to some of my family by learning their languages. I also just love the Philippines and it’s my dream to go visit one day.

- German???

German has always somewhat interested me, I put the question marks because I’m not totally sure if I want to learn German or not. It would be a fun experience but I don’t know of any motivations… and it’s hard for me to get going without having a motivation… 😓

- Polish???

I tried learning Polish on Duolingo (not the best idea), but I was obsessed with Polish music and this Polish singer, sanah. I think Polish is one of my favorite slavic languages but similar to German, I’m not sure if there’s anything to keep me motivated to learn Polish.

- Arabic

I mean have you seen the writing system???? It’s so intriguing there’s no way I can’t learn Arabic. The way it’s spoken is so pretty too.. I love this language so much.

- Hindi

I feel similarly to Hindi as I do to Arabic. Indian culture is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve said this a lot, but I love how Hindi sounds, too. I think I’ve set in stone that I want to learn Hindi and I’ll probably learn it after Mandarin and Thai.

I know I talked a lot about motivations in this post, but please remember that learning a new language isn’t all about being motivated. Obviously motivation helps, but discipline helps even more. Always remember to have self discipline or you won’t hardly be able to do anything such as learning another language.

Personally, I need motivation to begin a language, not keep up with it.

안녕!!!!

Hi, I hope this isn't weird, but as I see this kind of discourse from one of my favourite author I just wanted to check in if that's a kind of thing you're dealing with too. Without any judgement to anyone. Is it really that important to you guys that we leave comments? Aren't kudos enough? And do you agree that writers have to answer to comments?

It’s alright anon I figured I might get a message like this and I do appreciate having the chance to share my piece because I utterly agree with Susi on every part.

Something that’s worth understanding is I do not have a single artist or writer friend who doesn’t face this issue. Every single one one them, without fail, puts their heart on the line to create and share fan work, and all of them, myself included, struggle with a lack of response. Every gif maker, writer, artist, edit crafter, web weaver, all of them live for the positive comments we receive, the praise. I don’t know a creative without a praise kink, frankly.

This has been true for every fandom I’ve been in since I started posting art online in 2011, and fic in 2017, but it is ESPECIALLY present in F1 RPF because the space is so small, and usually people are so used to clinging to anonymity that the space feels even smaller.

Long discussion under the cut, because I wanted to try and honestly explain the mental process behind why authors and artists ask for a comment.

Speaking from my own experience now (that I’d still put money on being a similar experience for others), posting work of any kind online is a bargain. Yes you do it for yourself in part, but if it was just for myself I wouldn’t post it. When you post, you make the mental deal of “am I willing to accept potential hate or disinterest in this, for the chance to receive love and praise on it”. If you’ve been here a while you’ve seen the anons I’ve received at times; transphobic, homophobic, or just plain hateful. Some were too hateful to even post. I have had an Instagram page make a collage of my art just to laugh at it. But I keep posting, because for me, the joy and community I receive from comments and tags on my work make it worth that bargain. There’s some work that isn’t worth the potential backlash to post. That’s why any of the nsfw art I draw never leaves my close mutuals. I’m not willing to share it online when the result of it would pale against the risk.

Creative work is a deeply personal and heart baring process. It cannot be done easily some days. Yes it’s fun and funny and entertaining at times, but most times when I’m writing, I end up stood utterly alone in my own mind with myself. I cant write if I’m too depressed, because that experience of being alone with myself is too painful. Even on a good day it can be hard. So when I choose to go to that place, remain alone to pour my mind into something I write or draw, it is an exhausting labour of love. It takes hours, I’m not a fast worker, some people are faster than me, some are even slower. I’m alone for all of it.

And so when you put that all together. The work, the creative process, the editing, the cleaning, the preparing for posting, the process of tagging and sorting work so it’ll be seen, then self promoting… the least we can ask for in return is a comment?

You have to understand, kudos or likes are great, but it’s a hand sticking out of the void and giving you a thumbs up. It’s silent, faceless, impression-less. Imagine sending your family a deeply personal message and the response you get is just “👍”. Yeah it’s technically a response, but it’s disproportionate to the Labour afforded beforehand. People posting online are seeking a human connection, that little snap of closeness all human beings through history have craved. A kudos doesn’t really satisfy that craving. I would rather get 20 kudos on fic, but every single one has a comment, than 1000 silent ones. It’s just a number, it takes half a second to press that button and move on. It makes you feel like a cheap commodity that’s consumed and spat out, and that doesn’t even speak for the shame of a thousand eyes looking at your work and saying nothing at all.

When you comment or leave a tag, it shows me you took a second to absorb what I’ve showed you. It slowed you down, made you pause or take a breath, it DID something to you, just like it did something to me to make it. That’s a connection, that snap of a bond. Myself and that commenter now share something, and usually it’s a simple act of gratitude that you see all the work I’ve done to give you something, even if the comment is just “I really liked this!thank you for writing it”. It’s a paltry amount of work compared to what happened to get us there. But I feel less alone for just a little while, just like that fic did for you.

I understand that is still hard to do on occasion. You may be tired, you may feel over exposed or sick, but again you have to remember how hard that creative worked to give you something. On tumblr at least you can still reblog without a comment and increase the chance of someone else doing so. Ao3 doesn’t have that. Even when people filter by kudos they still have to be looking to read something with those tags. It doesn’t do much for the author who is sat faced with numbers. Their work made you feel, think, or just escape your own mind, by commenting, you are giving them the chance to have a moment of the same.

I have a screenshot folder full of comments that have made my day. It’s packed with the words that kept me going, when I doubted I could write at all, when I wondered if my art was good enough. They make a meaningful impact on my life the way I hope my work does for others.

And then you have to understand how… ungrateful it seems, to have people go “well you don’t reply fast enough, so I’m not going to comment.” I understand we all want that connection again, of a reply, and that’s why most authors TRY to do so!

But that author or artist has spent hours creating something for you, they have emotionally laboured and worked and bared themselves, asked you just to say something as your payment, and then you have asked to be paid for that honour? That’s like going into a store, paying for something, and then going “because you didn’t give me an extra gift for paying rather than stealing, I shall simply steal it in future”. That’s kind of insane right? Especially when the work you receive was hand made with love by the person sat in front of you.

I don’t know a single creative person on f1blr I haven’t seen go “I don’t know if posting this is worth it”. And that should worry people. If you come online and devour content without return, you are going to see people stop posting and walk away. I’ve seen it happen over and over and over. This isn’t the hungry hungry caterpillar, you aren’t 5, you don’t get to have your cake and eat it too if you don’t pay the baker who made it. In this case nobody in fandom has the incentive of making a living to continue. I can’t buy things for myself with comments. We don’t get paid. Instead they’re just going to stop sharing and return to only giving cake to people who respond. I’ve got art and fic I wrote only for my friends, because I wanted a reaction and giving it to them was a sure fire way to get it, because I trusted them.

If it becomes more effort to post than it does the return, I simply just won’t. I owe nothing to a faceless void, and so said void should try being less faceless. That’s all people are asking for.

An Interview with Kailee Morgue

by Brian Andersen

Kailee Morgue, singer, songwriter and self-proclaimed music making pixie, made some time between collaborations, photoshoots, and releasing a new album to chat with us about her creative process, the state of the music industry, and how to find the silver lining amidst all the bullshit! This thoughtful artist is someone to definitely keep on your radar, especially if you like your pop music with a little alternative flavor. Without further ado, this is how it went:

First off, I’d like to ask about your creative process: Do you have any unique practices, rituals, or habits to get yourself into a creative state or maybe to help you overcome writer’s block?

I'm not sure how other artists write when it comes to pulling inspiration from things that aren't their actual life. But more recently, I've been super into reading; just way too much, honestly. (No such thing!) And I've read like, 40 books this year so far. So I'm super into escapism, and I find it really helps me with writer's block to put myself in the shoes of a character or watching a movie that I find super inspiring. I've written songs, too, where I usually find how I fit my own story into the characters. And it's really helped me with writer's block. But other than that it's just random, like a thought I'll have in the shower, or I'll just be driving and I'll put it in my voice notes or something. It's usually like that if it's kind of just in my everyday life.

Jumping off of that, what are some of those books you’ve been enjoying?

I read a lot of different stuff because I really like philosophy and psychology. So I started trying to get back into reading with that stuff because I was just genuinely interested. So I read this book. It must be from the 60s. It was called The Ability to Love, and it was about the psychology behind love and relationships, and it was just so interesting. Also, reading something from 50, 60 years ago and just seeing how much the dating scene and the nuclear family has changed. It's completely different. It was just kind of interesting because it was so dated, but a lot of the core teachings and practices were still similar to how we all feel now. So yeah, I read that. Sometimes I just will have my little coming of age guilty pleasures and stuff. I have this song that's actually one of my next singles, and it's completely inspired by Bridget Jones Diary, and that's actually a movie. And when I tell people about that book, they're like, oh, I love those movies. But I've never seen them, I’ve just read the books. But those books, they had me in a chokehold, and I read all four of them in, like, a week and wrote this song about it and really found where I relate to her character in my life. And it was just the first time that I actually wrote something completely based on the book and was like, wow, this is such a fun way of getting back into writing where I don't feel like I have to run laps in my mind or what is happening to me that I want to talk about.

Your inspiration for Loser comes from your dad’s opinion on your taste in men as well as a fear of failure. You kind of flip the script and embrace yourself despite these factors. What kind of advice do you have for someone that might be growing into similar shoes?

That song is about my biological dad and how he felt about that stuff. And it's so interesting because my stepdad is like the complete opposite and he gave me the best advice. He's actually a therapist, so it really comes in handy when asking for advice and stuff. But he gave me the best advice the other day. He said, and I'm not going to say it as eloquently as he did, but he said:

“There are certain things that you know about yourself or you should know about yourself beyond any doubt. And those things should be like, truths about you that you know. And when you find what those things are and you stick to them and you believe in those things, then everything around you that doesn't apply or doesn't serve you, or people that say certain things that try to affect what you believe about yourself, it won't touch you and it won't affect you because you know the truth about who you are.”

So I think my advice would be like, find out who you are and absolutely believe in that person because I literally just started doing that this year and really going on that journey, just who am I and how do I not let anything shake me? And that's been the biggest part of healing through being so affected by what people think of me, I guess.

You’ve been collaborating and spending time with some great artists lately. Are there any recent memories from your time collaborating that stick out as particularly worth sharing with us?

I had the best day ever doing this. I co-wrote a song. There's like a few different people involved, but my best friend, her name is Cray and she's a DJ, but now she's an artist and her boyfriend is also really popular in the EDM scene. So they invited me over to write a song for his album with Cray and also Dwayne, which is like, he's popping off in the alternative scene. So I was like, oh, this is going to be really fun. And that day was just so, it was awesome. We were in this studio in Malibu that overlooks the beach. It was beautiful. We got food, and the song, it's actually out already. It's called, like, Love Me, Hate Me. And it's so energetic. We were all just screaming into the mic. We were doing gangs together and just yelling into the mic, and it was just the most cathartic experience. And it really solidified to me why I want to continue getting into writing with other artists, because it's just so nice. Also, for a little boost of inspiration with writer's blocks is to just not even worry about what I want because it's for these other people to have their own cathartic experience with it. So it’s really fun.

I’m more of a visual artist myself, but I do dabble with music myself. When you work with other artists, you learn a lot from them as well.

Oh, yeah. You definitely get to step out of your comfort zone if you want to. Some people like working with people that are similar to what their taste is, but I've been trying to just dip my toes into other music that I would never have thought venture in myself, because I've worked so far with people that have insane voices or just different types of music that I don't think I'm personally capable of, or it's not my style. So it's been so fun to be able to dabble in those different areas.

And some of the most exciting music that comes out is unexpected. Like how do you describe this song? I don’t know, it’s like funky, EDM, bluesy, southern rock.

Oh yeah, right now more than ever, there's just no bounds to music and, like, genres, and it's just hard to pin down anything. I think things that are popping off or that go viral or things that are on the radio, sometimes you're like, “how does this even get on the radio?” But it's just because everyone's looking for super innovative pop music, and alternative music. Like, everybody's just going above and beyond with music right now, which is awesome.

Wanna play a quick game of This or That? Where I name two things and you tell me your preference?

Sure!

Sweet or Spicy?

Sweet. I don't know why I hate that I'm one of those white people, but I hate spicy food. So much. Yeah. I don't know why. It's just like it feels painful. And I talked to somebody about this recently. Everyone loves spicy food. Everyone I know is like “What is wrong with you?” And this one girl was like, “No, it's painful.” And I was like, “You get me.” I don't know why. I just hate spicy food.

Retro or Futuristic?

Retro. Personally, I think a lot of people are like, there's this whole wave of people that are so good at knowing what is going to be innovative and knowing what's ahead of us. And I'm just one of those people that wants to reference the 70s, the 60s, or the 90s because it was just such a cool time, I think. And there's something, I always want to crack certain artists. I've grown up listening to the Beatles, and I love the Beatles. But when I love artists like that, I want to understand what made it work and why it's so massive on the scale that it is. And so I just kind of really go into all my favorite bands and diving into what it was like when they were at their peak and what it must have felt like in the 70s to listen to certain artists that were brand new. So I'm definitely more into the retro.

Too Hot or Too Cold?

Too cold. And that is because I'm from Arizona, so I'm tired of it. I haven’t even gone outside today. You’ve got to get dogs like their little boots and stuff because it's just terrible here. But the sunset’s pretty.

Wild Night Out or Quiet Night In?

Quiet night in, like 100%. I think I'm like the most homebody. I think I know a couple of people that are as homebody as me, but I actually think if no one dragged me out of my house, I would just be here forever. And like I said, I like reading. Almost everything that I really enjoy are pretty low key, just my hobbies and stuff. I like to be alone, I like to be quiet. I don't like loud music, which is funny because I'm an artist, but I don't like all of that.

Wake Up Early or Stay Up Late?

If you asked me this in the beginning of covid or even like just the height of me being creative, I'd probably say stay up late. But for my mental health, I've been getting up at like 09:00 a.m. For six months now. And it's really changed everything because I kind of get to set the tone for the day. So now I think just for being healthy and happy and trying to wake up, just feeling normal, waking up early is great.

Analog or Digital?

For me, I would say digital now, which is so contradictory for what I just said about being retro. But I think it's a fine line because I love where technology is going and so I'm like, “Cool. If anything can be easier, give it to me.”

“Car-mul” or “Care-a-mel?”

“Car-mul.” Well, my family is from Chicago, so I don't know if that has anything to do with that. Because my family, I feel like they say certain things weirdly. I'm sure. You know, like everyone's like we say “pop.” My mom was just saying, like, “coo-pon” or “que-pon.” I say “coo-pon.” Or like “roooof” or “ruhff”. I say “ruhff” and I get shit for it all the time. So there's just random stuff like that, but I have no idea if it's from my family or not.

And finally, this actually a this or that or that. Wings: traditional, boneless, or meat alternative?

I prefer boneless. I was vegetarian for a while and I hate to say it, but I just got so bored during the pandemic. I was like, “I really want some chicken.” There's nothing to eat. Even once I did start eating meat again too, I was still bored, so it was just really hard to commit to it. But yeah, I usually go the boneless route, so it's a little less messy, too. I love the meat alternatives too, but if I'm trying to eat some wings, like for real, I have to have the chicken.

In another interview, you said that Loser was written when you had intentions of working on a pop punk project that was shut down by your previous label from a fear of genre blending. Given the current state in music where nothing is sacred and genre blending has become a norm, do you think you’ll be revisiting more of those ideas with Thriller Records?

I don't know if I'll be revisiting. Well, technically it's yes and no, because I'm revisiting it where this album that I've been working on for probably less than a year, but it'll be coming out soon, it's like partially pop punk, partially pop, partially alt pop. It's kind of all over the map. Because I think if you asked me again, like, a while ago, I probably would have still wanted to pursue pop punk. But I think since it's being done into the ground right now, I just want to be able to show people my flexibility as an artist more than anything. So even when I was working on that pop punk project, I fully intended to do a little EP or something like that, but then follow it with a pop EP or something. Because I never like being put into a box. And that's what I love about Thriller, too, because they want a little bit of everything too. When I turned in this album and we're looking at all the songs, it was definitely like, we need more songs like this. There's kind of like a few different I would say like three different specific sounds that are touched on. And we just wanted to make sure that it shows my versatility. And also just like who I am. Because I don't think if I did a full pop album, a full pop punk album, I'm not sure that that would translate what I like and who I am versus just doing everything that I like.

The internet is full of people spouting opinions no one asked to hear. You recently tweeted a reply mocking someone’s short-sighted and archaic view on the state of the music industry. How would the music industry change if it was “run” by Kailee Morgue?

That's such a good question. Well, first of all, I would never run the music industry. I feel like I would just, because this is what I do as an artist, I try to understand. I just was saying earlier with everything I listen to; if I hear a song that I don't like, I still know in my head there's something that draws people to this and maybe I don't get it yet, but I know if I tried to know the context or know what the artist is into or this or that, I would understand it. So I think if everybody just looked at music kind of like how they do with movies, where sometimes movies suck, but I think 90% of the time there's an audience for almost everything. And if you don't like it, it's not because it's bad, it's just because you don't understand it. And like I said, there is shitty music, there are shitty movies, but people that are passionate about it and are trying to present something to an audience, there are people that get it. You just have to figure out what it is. So I think if everyone approached music like that, more open minded. Which I think everyone thinks they're open minded with music, but they're really not. Everyone's like, “oh, well, this I like. This and this but I hate country music.” I'm like, “Dude, no, country music is so good. You just have to understand it.” I'm still fighting everyone on that more recently because I just figured out country music. But yeah, I think if everyone was a little more open minded, it would just make music more interesting.

You’ve given away handwritten lyric sheets, and signed polaroids. You release demos that don’t make the album cut list. It’s clear that you really enjoy engaging with your fans in meaningful ways. You even gave away some shirts and signed posters with the release of Trainwreck. Do you have any opportunities to connect, either in the works or plans for the somewhat distant future, that your fans should be looking forward to?

I can't remember the first song that I started doing The Giveaways with, but initially I feel like fans don't really have many opportunities to connect with the artist like that. I'm seeing people do them all the time now, the Giveaways and the little incentive to do Pre-save or to listen to the song. But I hadn't seen it when I started doing that and I just wanted to like yeah, I wanted them to feel like there's a reason to keep up with artists outside of just the music because I think it builds a relationship. And now, because even outside of physical things like Polaroids and T shirts and all that stuff, I give my fans so many opportunities to just message me and I'll message them back or like I'll repost what they post because I want them to feel like they're part of something, I guess, because they are. I mean, it's totally cliche, but they're just as important as I am as far as my career. What I offer to them is just as important as what they're giving to me by being a fan and listening and engaging.So it's just like, I guess a more personal way of trying to connect with them. Because I think being a fan is so interesting because you feel like sometimes if you're a super fan, like, you know this person and who they are and what they think about, but they know nothing about you. I just wanted them to all feel like, oh, I see you. And here's just giving these opportunities for every release and that's what we're doing. So the upcoming singles and with the album release, we're going to be doing giveaways and lots of opportunities to engage and have a chance to be part of it. So, I mean, there's probably at least like three or four coming up in just the next two months.

Anything you’re personally excited about?

I'm honestly excited for all of them because with each single that comes out. Like. There's certain ones where we have props that were used that I'm going to be giving away and that type of stuff that’s just so one of a kind. Because I do love the Polaroids and the shirts. But the props and stuff. I think personally I’m a collector and I love having so much random stuff in my apartment. But I know as a fan, because I love Gwen Stefani, for example, and if she gave away something that was in one of her classic music videos, I would cry and message her every day trying to get it, you know what I mean? So I'm just like a huge collector and I think that those types of opportunities are fun. And obviously when the album comes out, I'm going to be doing my first physical release with vinyls and maybe CDs and stuff so that I'm super excited about.

According to twitter, it seems you’ve been in a bit of an emotional rut lately. No doubt partially due to the social and political climate of the United States. Despite how shitty things are going for A LOT of people right now, what are some things going on in the world that have been making you smile?

Oh, that's cute. I thought you were going to say that’s making me sad. I was like, oh, my God. I honestly think right now this is kind of one of those things where it's like sad and happy at the same time. I think what's happening with women and people with uteruses, because that's not exclusive to women. But I think that it's literally the most defeating feeling in the world. And because of that, I just feel like I'm seeing this strength coming through in people and women and anybody that cares about these issues and what's going on in the world with queer people, with people of color. There's just this strength that's coming with this generation of just being so fed up. And there's like this sense of togetherness, I think that makes me really happy. Obviously, outside of all that, we're getting amazing art lately. Like, I feel like music and movies, it's just so interesting what's happening because we all have so much to say. I'm seeing so many people just projecting positivity and just so much comfort to people because of how dark everything feels right now. And that makes me so happy to see everyone, like, making an effort to just spread positivity or just go outside and just kind of feel it. I don't know, because I feel like people are getting really into escapism and everything too, and just like, going on trips and doing work just to find the happiness right now and the light. That's why I came home. I came to Phoenix for two weeks because I was like, I can't deal with everything that's happening right now and there's nothing wrong with that. That just makes me happy because I'm seeing so many people also participate in just making the best of what their life is right now. And that's so encouraging as somebody that feels that way too. It's unfortunate, but it's like, happy at the same. I'm glad that we're together.

And finally, before we part, is there anything that you want the world to know about Kailee Morgue?

Anybody that gets this far, shout out to you. You're amazing. And going off of what I just said, we're all trying to make the most of what's happening right now, and I guess less about me and more about you. I hope you're doing okay and that you're also trying to find the silver lining of everything, because it's worth finding. And also, yeah. I have some songs coming out soon, but I'm just trying to contribute my art to the world too, and if you like it or want to engage with it, feel free, and if not, that's okay too. But I'm just like, doing my thing, trying to emote all of these crazy emotions so that everyone feels like they have somebody to relate to.

And that’s it, folks! The brilliant, inspiring, creative force to be reckoned with: Kailee Morgue! If she wasn’t on your radar before, she certainly should be now. Keep an eye out for her album, but in the mean time check out recent single, STFU available on all streaming platforms.

no one asked but real quick here r my opinions on ranma pairings that come to mind!! obv i’m not trying to say u Cant feel differently abt them, these r just my own thoughts

ranma/akane - if uve followed me for even half a day u already know this is my absolute fave one. yes it’s canon no that doesn’t make it boring, they understand each other on a level the other characters don’t even come close to

ranma/shampoo - die in a fire they r SO bad for each other (shampoo is significantly worse but ranma’s also not great to her)

ranma/ukyo - don’t love it but i suppose she’d be the next best choice after akane (at least as a pairing that could realistically happen in canon bc there’s no way something like ranryo would ever happen). i love ukyo but not with ranma, she doesn’t listen to his wants and honestly i think he’d hold her back, and i also don’t think she ever really was in love w him and just kinda felt obligated bc “oh shit if I cant kill him and I don’t marry him then I’ve wasted my life.” LOVE these two as besties tho

ranma/kodachi - literally dont feel like I need to say anything here, ive never seen anyone ship them

ranma/ryoga - not my cup of tea but I can see why ppl like it. genuinely it’s mostly bc i cant see ranma liking men lmao i mean he flirts w them for free food and whatever but he always gets grossed out when they try to respond. i personally see ranma as a lesbian

ranma/ryoga/akane - same as above except i understand it less. mmmmaybe if akane and ryoga both loved ranma but not each other?? ryoga and ranma had some actual chemistry, but akane and ryoga……… eeehh. speaking of!

akane/ryoga - don’t ship at all. ryoga is kinder to her than ranma if you’re judging on the surface, but he doesn’t fundamentally understand her the way ranma does and doubts her ability a lot more. (to the point ranma has to physically stop him in one episode to tell him “this is akane’s fight, she’s got this and will be mad if you meddle”) also the whole p-chan thing is creepy. i enjoy ryoga as character but i don’t think he fits w her at all

akane/shampoo - don’t like it. i mean i’ve read fics where shampoo admits to liking akane (or even just respecting her as a fellow female martial artist) but also like… that exists outside of canon shampoo to me lol. canon shampoo doesn’t care about other people, and she in particular is homophobic towards akane to her face

akane/ukyo - i like it to an extent! if it were in canon i wouldn’t want it to go beyond like akane blushing when ukyo saves her and maybe offhandedly saying something like “she’s so cool” and ukyo, after spending some time w akane, admitting to herself that she can understand why ranma likes her. i think it’s cute to think abt

akane/kodachi - i love this but only one-sidedly. in canon i’d want kodachi to be Like That with ranma purely to rile up akane bc she wants her attention. i mean literally already in canon kodachi seems to not know what to do once she actually gets ranma other than dangle him over her alligator and wait for akane to save his ass. it’d be a funny twist for her to be doing all this just bc she wants to see akane and doesn’t think to just talk to her like a normal person

shampoo/mousse - don’t like at all

shampoo/ukyo - no real thoughts but I don’t love it. maybe similar to how I feel abt ranryo but while my feelings for that as neutral/positive this is neutral/negative

ukyo/ryoga - i can see why ppl like it and I believe I did too back in 2011 or so when i first watched it, but i feel like most ppl who ship this have only watched the anime (valid! but their manga partners are both great characters imo). I didn’t rlly see it at all upon rewatch and reading the manga put the final nail in the coffin. they’d be fun as friends tho! i like that they have a silly friendship similar to akane and mousse’s friendship where they’re more Worsties than anything but will hang out with and help each other if they need to

ukyo/tsubasa - no. i have very mixed feelings abt tsubasa as is, but ukyo has no interest in him and sees him as an annoyance so i wouldn’t want her to be w someone she doesn’t like (side note: used he/him for tsubasa bc he’s very open abt being a crossdresser. i know that crossdresser is used as a transphobic insult in the series, but… eehhh… tsubasa isn’t really like ranma and konatsu who are both pretty blatantly not cis. he declares himself as a guy all the time, which yeah ranma does too, but ranma’s whole character development is how that breaks down for him)

ukyo/konatsu - yes, i think they’re sweet and konatsu is very supportive of ukyo’s goals. i think this pairing would need more development before i’d really want it declared Officially Canon. i mean it is, but obv ukyo still has some feelings to work out similarly to ryoga and his canon gf, and i think she’d need to more clearly let go of ranma before this could truly blossom in canon. i love konatsu and i love ukyo and i think they’d be good girlfriends after a little work

ryoga/akari - love it, it’s sweet and i LOVE akari. like I said i think ryoga needs to work thru some shit/let go of akane to truly appreciate akari, and it’s annoying he’s still attached to her when he has a gf but i understand it’s difficult to just Stop liking someone you’ve liked for prob a solid year or so just bc u got asked out by someone else

these are all the ones I can think of rn but ur more than welcome to ask if u want my thots on any other ones lol

#ill save u time if ur gonna ask abt a pairing tho- i don’t ship shampoo w anyone #in my fave ranma fanfic she gets w ukyo and konatsu and it works there! but it’s ooc for her and would never happen in canon

portrait of a rockstar

pairing ➵ eddie munson x reader

summary ➵ eddie loves his girlfriend’s sketches, but when he stumbled across one he wasn’t meant to find, y/n doesn’t know how to react

warnings ➵ smut (18+), established relationship, fem!reader, written in third person, fingering, handjob, unprotected sex, dirty talk, slight praise!kink?, creampie, cum play sorta, i think thats it

words ➵ 2853

✾ ✾ ✾

The sun was setting, golden light shined on the wooden floorboards of her bedroom, dust particles floating in each ray of glow. It was one of those typical lazy Saturday afternoons, ones in which Y/N laid on her bed, book in hand while Eddie puttered about her room.

He had been here more times than either of them could count, yet he always found something new he was intrigued by. Whether it be old childhood books still displayed, edges ratted and pages slightly torn, or whether it be random trinkets that Eddie had neglected to notice. Today, he was seated at her desk, rummaging through draws and sorting through random pieces of paper scattered on top of the table.

While she read, Y/N never bothered to look at what he was doing, she always allowed him to do as he pleased with her stuff. She trusted him; she bore no secrets from him. Except, maybe one thing. Although she wouldn’t exactly call it a secret, more something she wished him not to see.

Eddie was aware of his girlfriend's talent when it came to sketching and drawing, it was one of the things he loved about her so much, her artistic abilities, the skill she had with a pen. He had asked her, multiple times, for her to draw something he would then get tattooed.

“I don’t know” she would say, sheepishly rubbing her arms as she spoke, “Would you really want something I drew on you forever?”

It was a stupid question to him, and he never understood why she was so self-conscious of her art, especially with him. “Of course, baby” he’d respond, “I’d want nothing more”.

It took a while, a few months at least, but Y/N finally accepted. It was small, a dying rose that now sat on his right arm, on display for anyone to see. She would often mention after he got it done that she wished he had picked a different design of hers, something she was more proud of. But Eddie didn’t care, he was proud of her work no matter what she thought of it herself. He would kiss her forehead, telling her he loved it and that’s all that mattered.

He continued flipping through the pile of discarded white pages atop the oak desk, tossing aside notes from school and other random writings that made no sense to him – streams of consciousnesses that Y/N would scribble down in the middle of the night when she couldn’t sleep, that when reading back were nonsensical.

At the bottom of the pile, laying apart but somehow together, Eddie came across some sketches he had never seen before. All were similar to his girlfriend's previous work. Random drawings of trees, a bird or two, and an almost photo-realistic sketch of her dog Spots who was so old that he made loud wheezing noises with every step it took. He smiled as he flipped through his picture, admiring every small detail that Y/N had managed to capture perfectly with her pencil, details that only she would notice.

Eddies smile grew more prominent, a small chuckle escaping his lips as he reached the last sketch. “What’s this then?” He asked, spinning around in the chair he had been sitting on, so he was now facing Y/N on the bed. His question caused her to look up from her book, her heart dropping and a faint heat rushing across her cheeks.

She threw her book to the side, not bothering to place her bookmark where she had finished reading. Quickly, yet clumsily, she pulled herself up from the bed, now standing in front of Eddie.

“Nothing” She answered, trying to grab the sketch out of his hands. Another laugh escaped Eddie's lips as he pulled his hand out of reach of his girlfriend's grasp.

He stood up, the piece of paper now above his head. Y/N mentally cursed at him for being so much taller than she. Eddie made a sound with his mouth that indicated the word no, still chuckling at Y/N’s attempt to reach for the page. “Now, sweetheart” He teased, “Why would you hide this from me?”.

She accepted defeat with his question, standing flat on her feet as opposed to resting uncomfortably on the tips of her toes in an attempt to grab the sketch out of Eddie’s hands. In a huff, she crossed her arms tightly across her body. It was obvious she was embarrassed at what he had found, she was staring down at her socked feet like she often did when nervous. A trait that Eddie always found oddly adorable.

He dropped his hand from where he had it held above his head, glancing back down at the piece of paper to give it another look. It was a picture of him, one in which his guitar sat in his lap while he tuned the cords. She perfectly encapsulated the way his hair fell eloquently across his face, every brown curl drawn to perfection. She was even able to draw the way his tongue slightly pocked from his mouth, something he always did while he was concentrating.

Eddie looked back up at Y/N, who now looked as if she was going to cry. His heart sank at the sight. “Hey” He hummed in a low and comforting tone. He placed the piece of paper back on the desk. “What’s wrong?” he asked, genuinely not understanding why him finding the sketch of him would make her so upset. He brought the palm of his hand to the side of her face, his thumb brushing gently across her cheek. The soft action caused Y/N to look up.

She wiped a stray tear that managed to escape her cloudy eyes away. She shrugged at Eddie's question. Honestly, she didn’t know why she was so upset either. It wasn’t as if she hadn’t drawn him before, she had, multiple times. As cliché as it sounded to her, and she hated sounding like a cliché, Eddie was her muse. There were countless sketches of him scattered around her room, hidden in plain sight, away from any eyes par her own. She didn’t understand why she hid them from everyone, especially from Eddie himself. She knew he wouldn’t judge her, he never did. Maybe she just wanted something that was just hers, something that no one else needed to know about. Her own secret.

But it was a stupid secret, she knew that. Why did it matter so much? Maybe a part of her did think he would judge her, find it weird or creepy that she would secretly watch and draw him when they were alone.

Eddie gently rubbed the pad of his thumb under Y/N’s eye, smiling down at her. “You don’t have to be embarrassed, baby,” he said, almost in a whisper. “I think its rad that you have drawings of me”

Y/N finally met his gaze, a soft expression of surprise replacing that of embarrassment across her face. “Really?” she questioned, “You don’t find it weird?”.

“What? Of course not. Why would I find it weird?” His question only received another shrug, Y/N’s shyness making his heart melt. “If anything,” he continued, “I find it flattering that you think I’m a worthy enough subject”.

This made Y/N smile, a small chuckle even escaping her lips. “Of course, you are” she admitted, finally finding enough courage to speak more than a few words. “you’re the prettiest thing out there”.

It was his favourite compliment she would give him, when she would call him pretty. He understood that it was a compliment mainly reserved for girls, that guys were usually called handsome or rugged, and honestly if anyone else called him that he would probably try and fight them for making fun of him. But it was different coming from her, sincere and holding more meaning to him than you would think. Plus, it never failed to make his cheeks red, and his smile grows larger.

He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her lips. It was quick yet intimate, passionate. “I love you; you know that?” he asked, his face only inches from hers. Y/N nodded as a response, smiling, tongue pressed to the back of teeth as she leant up to kiss him once more.

It didn’t take long until she was back on her bed, lying flat on her back as her head rested against the pillows.

Eddie had positioned himself in between her legs, fitting there like the final piece of a puzzle. The hand that had been resting against her face had now moved down to the side of her thigh, softly squeezing the flesh in his palms. Their lips moved perfectly in time, tongues briefly grazing on another every so often. Y/N had her arms draped over his shoulders, hands gently playing with his hair.

Slowly, his hand started to creep further up her thigh, slipping under the fabric of her skirts as his fingers brushed against the outline of her panties. She let out a quiet moan, because of nothing other than the anticipation of what was about to happen. He had this effect on her, no matter how many times he had her in this position, no matter how many times they had sex, he always made her weak to the knee with the most simplest of touches.

Their brief separation of lips gave Eddie enough leeway to direct his kisses to the crook of her neck, biting at the flesh in a way that wouldn’t leave a mark but in a way that sent a shiver down Y/N’s spine and up to her core.

She dropped her hands from where they were tangled in his hair, letting them rest at the hem of his shirt before tugging on the fabric. Eddie allowed her to undress him, watching with lust-filled eyes as she helped pull his shirt over his head. He hovered over her, caressing her hair as she unbuckled his jeans. There was a quick separation, a moment where they weren’t touching while Eddie shimmied out of his pants. As soon as he stood there, naked to her apart from his boxers, his hands fell to her waist as she sat up slightly, allowing Eddie to remove the blouse she had been wearing.

They laid back down, bodies pressed closer than before. Skin on skin, lips moving in time as teeth and tongues clashed in a messy yet passionate kiss. They refused to separate as Eddie pulled down Y/N’s skirt, tossing it on the bedroom floor beside the bed.

His hard cock pressed against her clothed core; a shockwave of pleasure rushed through her. “Eddie” she moaned against his lips, hands pulling on the waistband of his boxers, pleading with him to remove what was left of their clothing. “ ‘M need you”.

He smiled against her cheek where he had just placed a kiss. “Okay, baby” he hummed, guiding his hands against hers, both pulling down his underwear. He sprung free against his naval. Y/N instinctively reached her hand around his shaft, wrist moving up and down against him as Eddie removed her panties and unclipped her bra.

Placing a kiss on her shoulder, Eddie gently caressed two of his fingers in between Y/N’s dripping folds. She sighed at the sudden contact, hips bucking forward, craving more. Both their breaths were shaky, the small amount of pleasure both were experiencing was enlightened tenfold by the intense passion of the moment.

“Eddie” Y/N moaned again, free hand tightly gripping his bicep. “Stop teasing”

He chuckled at this, laughing against the skin of her neck before placing another kiss on her collarbone. He didn’t need to say anything before slipping both his digits inside her, stretching her as he didn’t waste time pumping in and out of her entrance.

She threw her head back against the pillow, allowing herself to relax under her boyfriend’s touch. It didn’t take long before their rhythms were in time, both touching the other with a gentle yet fast pace.

A few more movements of her wrist before Eddie reached down and removed her hand from around his member, almost simultaneously removing his two fingers from inside her. “Feels so good, baby” he assured her before she could detest his actions, “But need to feel you, need to feel your cunt around my cock”.

His vulgar words never failed to make Y/N blush. And although what he said was rough, words reserved for times in which he had her pinned against the wall, back pressed against his chest as he pounded into her with force, his tone was gentle and loving. The contradiction made Y/N’s body heat up more.

Eddie positioned his tip at her entrancing, prodding her hole slightly before pushing his entire length in with ease. Y/N couldn’t help but let a loud sigh at the burning stretch inside her, his thickness and length reaching depths inside her that no man ever could. “Fuck” He muttered to himself as her tight walls wrapped around him in a warm velvety embrace.

His hips began to buck into hers, slow at first before he found the perfect pace between soft and rough. Moans echoed off the four walls of Y/N’s childhood bedroom, words of affirmation and curses intertwined with the vulgar sounds of skin slapping against skin.

“Fucking hell, baby” He gasped. His hands were gripping either side of her hips, fingernails digging in the soft skin. His eyes were trained on the way his cock appeared and disappeared inside her, as if he was entranced by the sight. Y/N watched as his face contorted in pleasure and concentration, his tongue resting between his teeth and his upper lip, similar to his expression in the sketch she had drawn. God, he was the most beautiful thing to her.

She reached up, hand on his cheek, forcing his eyes to meet hers. “I love you so much, Eddie” She breathed. Her thumb tugged at his bottom lip, pulling him down to kiss her.

“I love you too, baby” his left hand travelled to the back of her thigh, pushing her leg inside her chest to reach deeper inside her body. Y/N let out a loud moan at the new position, white heat building inside her core. “I love you so fucking much”

He kissed her again, messy and uncoordinated as movements became sloppy.

Her walls were beginning to tighten as her moans got even louder. She wrapped her arms around Eddie's shoulders as she had done before, her nails digging in his back and surely leaving scratch marks. “ ‘M so close” Y/N managed to pant, toes curling with every thrust of Eddie's hips into hers.

“I know, baby” He groaned into her ear, his grip on her thigh now bruising. “Let go, wanna feel you cum around my cock so bad, princess”

His words were like an order, and Y/N happily obeyed. Her orgasm came crashing down on her in a wave that engulfed all her senses, and she swore she saw stars. Eddies name came from her lips like a prayer, sending his head into a spin.

The way her walls were pulsating against him, the stinging feeling of his broken skin against her fingers, the way she sounded so sweet from underneath him was enough for Eddie to ride his own high. With one, two, three and four messy thrusts, he spilled inside her, painting her walls white with his cum.

He pulled, both of them sighing at the separation. Eddie watched as his cum dripped out from Y/N’s throbbing hole. Entranced by the sight, he took his two fingers and pushed the hot liquid back inside her, twisting his digits before removing them once more. “Fucking hell” he spoke, out loud to himself. “You’re so fucking perfect, you know that?”

Y/N blushed at his compliment, pulling him down so he now lay beside her. She nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck.

They laid there for a moment, Y/N tracing her fingers across the tattoos sprawled across his chest as she rested her face against him. “All that because I drew a picture of you” She giggled; a thought spoken out loud.

“Hey, maybe you could sketch a picture of me at the band's next show? I feel like that would be sick” he said, fingertips gently grazing her shoulder.

Y/N giggled at the proposition, liking the idea of her sitting in a dark corner of some seedy bar while Eddie played alongside his friends to a crowd of drunk middle-aged women who would probably try and hit on him after the show. “Yeah,” she agreed, “And I could call it ‘A Portrait of a Rockstar”.

“Future rockstar” Eddie corrected.

Y/N shook her head, hair rubbing against Eddie’s bare chest. “You’re already a rockstar” she smiled, “You are to me, anyways”.

He smiled to himself at her words, placing a soft kiss on the top of her head as he pulled her impossibly closer. “I’m so in love with you”

“I’m so in love with you too, Eddie”
