Tw: heavily implied murder/torture of some unimportant character
Fei is like a cat: pretends to be annoyed by you all the time but when you finally watch him...work...he not so covertly glances at you after every scream of his victim, desperate to see your pride and love for him

What do you think about takes about the book series Warrior Cats?
i had vaguely heard of warrior cats before, but i always assumed it was some kind of magic fantasy catboy series
it wasn't until i started the punt polls that i realised that the cats in warrior cats are like... actual cats
turns out it's more like this:
BEHOLD, DEATHKILL, LORD OF BATTLE AND HERALD OF THE CRIMSON MOON
BORN OF FIRE AND BLOOD, HE WILL NOT REST UNTIL THE WORLD IS TORN ASUNDER AND ALL OF CREATION IS BUT ASH ON THE WIND AS THE PROPHECIES FORETOLD
THOSE WHO WOULD CLING TO HOPE, HEAR HIS CRY AND KNOW DESPAIR
Tumblr media
HE IS ALSO AFRAID OF BUBBLES AND IS VERY EASY TO PUSH OVER
none of this is a criticism by the way, if i can find a copy i want to give the series a try

the cat and the mouth ! ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
part one . . . !
costar! austin butler x fem! reader
Tumblr media
warnings smut, reader is an actress , needy austin, p in v, slight praise, no established relationship, bathroom sex, and obviously sexual themes.
prompt " i shouldn’t allow myself to get this close to you. "
Tumblr media
Sexual tension was something that constantly lingered between you two, and you both were aware of it. The lustful eye contact, the not so innocent teasing that would leave you both with crimson shaded cheeks, and the longing wishes of hoping a one of you would strike and take action towards your sinful urges.
You liked the tension, the wait, the need for him. You considered it a continuous game of cat and mouse, a game you felt like would never end.
But, one thing you hated was attending the parties that you were practically forced to come to because of your role as Priscilla. They were all the same, full of people you didn't know or parties that died down an hour in.
You had swallowed down your fifth alcoholic drink that had more sugar than anything, but, you had to find a way to enjoy the lifeless party. You had been seated at the mini bar ever since you arrived at the after party, chatting up a few men that you had no interest in and just observing the drunken party goers that had been wandering around and dancing carelessly.
"Just a whiskey on the rocks." You ears peeked up at the familiar, husky voice that you knew all too well. Your curious eyes turned towards the source, landing on the tall blonde boy, who had been wearing a black suit that fit him ever so perfectly.
“This seat taken?” Austin's voice pulled you out of your trance, his finger pointed towards the empty barstool placed right next to you. “No, not at all.” You shook your head, flashing a tight-lipped smile as he took place right next to you.
"I would've never took you for a bloody mary type." Austin husked out, pointing out the drink that head been halfway drunken infront of you. "Me either, just ordered it to make this party somewhat more amusing." You shrugged, raising your dark brows before scoffing playfully as you lifted your eyes back to meet his.
"And how's that working out for you?" he questioned, his brows quirked up as he waited for a response to slip from your lips. his hand went towards the whiskey that he had ordered moments ago.
"oh, just great, having the time of my life." you chuckled, shaking your head with a playful smile as you let out a sarcastic response. "life could never be better." he nodded in sarcastic understanding, he went along with your words, finding amusement at how you covered your bore by using humor.
"im sure there's been a few guys coming over here, trying to talk you up though?" Austin lifted up his drink, his lips connecting with the glass. He assumed so... assuredly, as if his assumption was something he was so sure of.
"I haven't given any of them a chance to stick around." you foretold, dangerously murmuring your words as you grabbed the straw from your alcoholic drink and puckered your lips around it.
"oh, am i the first guy you're letting stick around long enough?" he poked his tounge on the left side of his cheek, slightly twirling the barstool to be in your direction.
"Depends, is there something you needed, Mr.Butler?" You questioned, slowly speaking as you kept your eyes on his. You knew what you were doing, starting up the endless game you two have been going at for months.
"i... " he hesitated for a spilt moment, turning his eyes away from yours as he took a deep breath. "would you like to go somewhere a little more private?" Austin asked in dangerously low tone, he quickly shrugged off his hesitation , lifting his blue eyes towards you. You could read him like a open book. The lustful eye contact, the not so innocent teasing.
"Alone?" You smiled, playing oblivious, smirking to hide the crimson red that threatened to spill on your cheeks. "You know what I mean, darlin, let's not mess around."
"I can't help it, you're fun to mess with." You gracefully moved your hand from the glass cup you had been sipping fron moments ago. " Baby, don't make me spell it out for you... you know i want you."
Tumblr media
You two looked like animals - teeth clashing, needy bodies colliding, hands roaming every vulnerable spot of one another's body. You move in sync and the arousal in your panties only escalates, burning your entire body. his hands make their way around your hips, pressing into the bone as he steadies your body against the door.
His clothed knee between your thigh, your hips jutting for friction against your heating folds. "as much as i wanna explore your mouth, i think you need attention somewhere else." his breath fanned over your ear as he leaned his head against the bathroom door that your body had been leaning against.
his hand removed from your waist, slowly trailing down towards your hips... then the end of your little black dress... and the wet lace that had been collecting every drop of your nectar his dangerous words had squeezed out of you.
"is this okay?" Austin drops the cocky demeanor and looks towards you with a caring gaze, his fingers still fiddling with the lace protecting your needy cunt. you nod, lip still stuck in between your teeth. you watch as he slips your underwear right down your knees.
"Austin..." you sigh out, his name coming off as a plea. You wanted him, more than anything.
“stay still, so pretty like this.” he assures incoherently, he takes his hands off of you and instead turns the focus to himself. Unzipping his pants ever so gracefully, revealing his dick that had been poking through his thin boxers.
Your breathed hitch at the sight, precum peeking out through the thin covering. "Do you trust me?" Austin asks, placing kisses all over your shoulder blades. You threw your head back, growling, "Fuck, If i didn't i wouldn't be waiting for you to fuck me."
"that'ta girl." he smirked confidently as he hiked your dress up to your hips, preparing to invade your body with ease. His fingers turned back in the direction of your hips, holding you in place as you felt his tip travel. the precum soaking your swollen button, causing you to throw your head back in nothing but pure pleasure.
"that feel good, yeah?" he nodded his tip swirling around your clit, not long before he moved it again. his tip now traveling, a long stripe gliding down towards your hole.
finally, the game of cat and mouse was over.

“Why do women like Sleep Token so much?” “Sleep Token gives women a safe space to let loose.” But like, what exactly do they do to create this safe space? Not much. It’s actually pretty simple. But I’m long winded. I hope you enjoy my thesis:
1. It starts with the music itself. Gender does not at all affect what kind of music someone is capable of liking, but it does affect how people perceive each other. Metal, its musicians and fans, is largely very hypermasculine. As anger is the primary emotion expressed in metal, and anger has long been associated with men, so it’s more socially acceptable for men to express anger than it is for women (gender identities outside of the binary are largely also not allowed to express anger like this openly). Metal thus becomes hypermasculine, and scares away women who have to fear violence from cishet men.
2. Metalheads, for several decades, have been ostracized for their music enjoyment, being called Satanic and degenerate. Leading more traditional metalheads to become very protective over their genre from any outsiders or “posers.”
3. Sleep Token is metal, they’ve got the screams, they’ve got the chunky riffs, the whole shebang, but they aren’t traditional. They mix in elements of R&B, pop, and hip-hop, which have more mainstream popularity. This sullying of the purity of metal turns away hyper masculine, toxic gatekeepers.
4. Women notice this lack of toxic gatekeepers among fans of the band. They know that this type of music turns them away, so they start to flock to it. And as the prophecy foretold, women go to the bathroom together, women go to Sleep Token rituals together.
5. Sleep Token partakes in the ancient and holy rite of stage gay. Whether any member of the band is queer or not is irrelevant, this turns away people who are homophobic, and invites more women, as kissing the homies is basically a giant neon sign that says “no toxic masculinity here.” Not only is the male fan base safer for the girlies, but the band itself.
6. The presence of women in any fan base is guaranteed to weed out any misogynists still lurking about. If women like something, people automatically assume the worst of it. This leaves the girls, the gays, and normal men who are so normal.
7. Now the ladies are smitten. Nice tits king, here, take some cat ears on the house.
Side note: lots of people assume that women like something for shallow reasons, liking thinking a fella is quite handsome. While this can happen, I think largely thirst does not create a fan, a fan creates the thirst. I think this is especially evident in the case of the Sleep Token girlies. They liked the music first, were assured that they were safe there second, and then came the 😳
Conclusion: whether it was intended or not, Sleep Token somehow created a space that repelled metal gatekeepers, homophobes, and misogynists. And as someone who has been into metal for a while, online and in person, this is insane, dare I say game-changing.
To the girls, gays, theys, and cishet men too, to all the Sleep Token fans out there, I wanna know your perspective on this. Please peer review this if you want to. Tell me your experience as a metalhead and as a Sleep Token worshipper! Can you relate to this? Do you maybe have a different experience? Did I miss anything? I’m really curious to hear about people’s experiences in regards to misogyny and homophobia in the metal community. As a queer woman who likes metal, it is of great interest to me.

I think catabolic seed by the scary jokes is very slugpelt, maybe about her life in general?
Yeah, I think so! I like the themes in this song about trying to take control of your life by reaching out to other people, but getting denied. That's very Slugpelt.
Also, check out this awesome PMV with Catabolic Seed, which I just have to show off cause I love it so much.
"But is bad luck really such a crime? If you won't be my valentine, could you at least give me a little bit of sympathy?"
"I don't care if I'm losing myself in the garden of earthly delights I could drop dead right where I stand, and I wouldn't mind"
youtube
Tumblr media
You guys always find such interesting songs. I like this one. It's definitely got good Rainhaze energy.
"even through the pain animals cannot change dance with the skeletons and float away"
"eat and then die all your siblings cast aside too"
"see with new eyes a world ready to despise you"
youtube
Tumblr media
No, no one's recommended this Hannibal fansong yet. But nice call for Ranger talking to Rainhaze!
"So look in the mirror And tell me, who do you see? Is it still you? Or is it me?"
"Do you feel the hunger Does it howl inside? Does it terrify you? Or do you feel alive?"
youtube
Tumblr media
That's a good classic ask, back from the beginning of the blog. Never forget Christmas music Daff.
"Underground, boxed and glum Left you there for rot All my fears are overgrown Will someone burn this grove?"
"Welcome home! It's been a while Do you miss your head? With your tattered clothes and your bloody nose?"
youtube
Tumblr media
I LOVE Vulture Culture! That song is great. I've been wanting to do a version of its animation meme for years now with a fandom I'm in. Maybe someday.
It can be a Rainhaze song and a Defiance song. They're so interlinked now, right?
"We live and die in a vulture culture We crucify anyone we hunger Gemini and a broken brother We live and die, my friend"
"Well, I guess I made my bed Now I gotta lie in it Like a suicidal kiss I got a guilty conscience"
youtube
Tumblr media
BarrenClan is a cursed land!...
"The curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before"
"If they called on every soul in the land, on the moon Only then would they know a blessing in disguise"
youtube
Tumblr media
Asphodelpaw's themesong is a MARINA song, so you're already halfway there! I also agree with you about the idea of Asphodel feeling like she has to put on a strong front and pretend like she doesn't have any genuine feelings.
"It's okay to say you've got a weak spot You don't always have to be on top Better to be hated Than loved loved loved for what your not"
"You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable You are not a robot You're lovable, so lovable But you're just troubled"
youtube
Tumblr media
What a wonderful title for a song. I also love mashing my OCs into any vaguely related song to them.
"I bid the sunshine adieu! In 1872 When the girl that I liked Made me a creature of the night"
"On the shortest night of the year I told him he’d nothing to fear As I bit his throat and crooned as he choked “Together forever my dear”
youtube
Tumblr media
I'm certain this song has been suggested before, but that's only because any song from The Crane Wives discography could fit into PATFW.
"He taught me that the hand that feeds Deserves to be bitten when it beats He taught me how to break my chains And that money ain't worth a thing"
"Reminding me how little I have But as for time, as for time It's mine, it's mine"
youtube
Tumblr media
Poor Pinepaw! He really does know too much, often envious of who he used to be.
youtube
Tumblr media
...yeah, that's going on the playlist.
"Everything here is built on bones
Everything everything everything
And men will do as they’re foretold
Everything everything everything
Visions you don’t want to see
Everything everything everything
Hide your face from prophecy"
Tumblr media
If I'm being real - since this song is so desert-themed, it's giving much bigger Saltburn's Clan energy, especially with the line about "mountain cats". (Blasting beams into the 3 people who read this's head to go read SBC at @nanistar)
Tumblr media
If you want my opinion, I would say Slugpelt.
"So, if I can wait five more In this shape that I abhor I'll sleep with an open door Knowing you haven't touched a cell on my body"
"Now, my love carries the task Of handling the aftermath Can you smooth the looping lines Of fingerprints before your time?"
Lol I ran out of video embeds
