I’m sorry bunny!” he groaned loudly before pressing his lips against yours, holding you down while his cum flooded your cunt. “I’m sorry, ‘m sorry.” he whispered apologetically. Kissing you more tenderly to show his apology. His actions saying otherwise as you felt him get hard again as pushed his cum deeper inside you.
Fanboy! Choso who begs you to go along with a fantasy for weeks before you actually do it because he was so needy, so you finally go stage with a heart shaped plug in you pretty cunt, making sure you keep your cum inside you when you talk to your fans during a fan meet
Fanboy! Choso who exposes his obsession with you after he blindfolded you and took you to his bedroom, he took it off while he was balls deep inside you begging for you to make him a good daddy

Has Tommy(innit) said anything about whats all happening?
About Wilbur?
also could you explain whats going on, please?
I kind of know but not too well, I just woke up, got news Wilbur abused someone, and everyone saying 'fuck wilbur'.
I will not support anyone who supports abuse in any way, but please understand that this is quite a shock to wake up too.
oh man I am feeling so bad for people who haven't been aware of anything that's been going on the past week
alright, a week ago Shubble (aka Shelby), a popular mcyt streamer/youtuber who has been in the scene for a very long time, did a stream talking about her last relationship. she didn't name her ex-boyfriend, but discussed all the ways in which he physically and emotionally abused her throughout their relationship and how she didn't realize it until later. their stream was largely meant to spread awareness of domestic abuse and the warning signs of it. and although they didn't name him, the details they mentioned about their ex made it pretty clear wilbur soot was their ex. twitter blew up talking about it, some people tried to claim shelby wouldn't want them to speculate so she made a tweet saying it's not that she didn't want to name her abuser, it's that she couldn't. since everyone had already been theorizing it was wilbur it was pretty well understood at this point that if their abuser wasn't wilbur, they would've said so. alongside this, a trumpeter who used to tour with lovejoy and a photographer for the band both heavily implied shelby's ex was wilbur.
after trending for five days straight on twitter with everyone talking about the allegations, wilbur posted a statement yesterday confirming that yes, he is the ex shelby was referring to, and 'apologized' for his behavior. except his apology brushed aside all of the emotional abuse he put her through, and in the same statement he claimed he thought the physical abuse (where he would bite her all the time to the point of her being covered in bruises) was consensual and a 'playful' thing despite the fact that shelby explained it was anything but. basically, his apology was dogshit and was him trying to avoid taking any kind of accountability for what he put her through. many many cc's in the twitch sphere, including wilbur's former circle of friends, replied pointing out how terrible his apology was.
tommy has not said anything yet, but also I don't expect him to say anything so soon. he just had surgery, like, what, 2 weeks ago? pretty sure he's still hopped up on pain meds. not to mention, he and wilbur have been incredibly close friends since tommy was 16. it's not easy to come to terms with the fact that someone you've known since you were 16 and looked up to as an older brother is not the person you thought they were.
alongside that, ranboo streamed yesterday and discussed the situation. they've been vocal in their support of shelby on twitter, and also told their viewers to give other cc's time for a response. they pointed out a lot of their friends are only just now learning what kind of person wilbur really is. they also said that some other cc's might not make statements at all and might just silently distance themselves from wilbur.
also, shelby herself liked this tweet yesterday
Tumblr media
so yeah, I wouldn't expect to hear from tommy directly on this for a while, if ever. I also wouldn't be surprised if he just silently distances himself from wilbur instead of saying anything outright.

rumour has it // a.bonmatí x reader
Tumblr media
a.bonmatí x reader
adding aitana to the request list rn
don’t know if this needs a warning but there is a passing mention of a past injury and the looming possibility of a new one.
based on this request. enjoy!✨
-
you knew you were staring but you couldn’t help it. whilst you found aitana beautiful no matter what she was doing, there was something about watching her play football that drove you crazy.
a hand on your shoulder brought you back down to earth and you quickly turned to see your teammate hayley looking at you with an amused smile.
she sent you an over exaggerated wink and you shoved her playfully, waving off a look from your captain and falling back into the warm-up effortlessly.
your friendship with aitana had blossomed after your shock transfer to real madrid and your first él clasico, where a tackle from you to her resulted in a yellow and a very apologetic instagram dm.
liked posts and a supportive comment here and there was all the public and your teammates got from the two of you, neither of you in a rush to shut down any starting rumours.
besides, the rivalry between real madrid and barcelona seemed to be hotter than ever and you had a feeling that your teammates wouldn’t be best pleased that you were dating the ‘enemy’. so you both agreed to keep it a secret, something between the two of you.
at least it was until mapi león caught wind of it and you found out from aitana that the defender had accidentally announced your relationship to the entire team. much to your surprise, they didn’t really care and were more than happy that aitana was happy. and that was more than you could’ve asked for from them.
-
it was the second half, barcelona were in the lead by 2 goals and you raced up the field when the ball landed at keira’s feet.
she kicked it forward and it rolled to aitana, who was getting closer to the box by the second. you watched on in horror as olga tackled aitana, missing the ball entirely and taking out the midfielder viciously.
the whistle blew almost instantly and the referee pointed to the spot but you didn’t care. aitana was still on the floor and she was clutching her knee.
having just come back from an injury yourself, you felt your heart jump to your throat and ran over to the girl without a second thought. dropping to your knees, you moved her head to rest on your lap, wiping the tears from her face.
“it’s okay, tana, you’ll be okay.” you whispered, glancing around desperately.
a few of the barcelona girls had huddled around you both, blocking you from the crowd and your teammates. you knew that twitter was probably going crazy, and that your teammates were probably feeling the same way.
but that didn’t matter. all that mattered was aitana. not a football game or a bitter rivalry and you kept those thoughts in your head as you watched aitana hobble off the pitch with the help of the medics.
mapi patted your shoulder, giving it a quick squeeze. “she’ll be okay.”
you nodded, smiling at her slightly. aitana was still on the side of the pitch so a little weight was lifted off your shoulders, even more so when you saw her laugh at something ingrid had said.
“although,” mapi started to say and you turned your attention back to her. “you have just added fuel to the rumour filled fire.”
“yeah,” you laughed with a nod. “guess i have.”
with a shake of your head, you walked away from the spaniard, laughing to yourself again as you imagined all the rumours you and aitana were going to giggle about together after the game.

Imagine being a thief in Atlantis, and letting Arthur Curry catch you so you can steal a kiss.
Tumblr media
“Arthur,” You say with a smile as you’re leaned up against the display case for a treasure that you had recently stolen. Well, stolen is an intense word. Taken it so that it could be returned to the people that it really belongs to, is the better word for it.
The handsome superhero had strolled inside, his eyes settling on me before you even spoke. You knew that he was coming - as slow as he was. The stolen item was already stashed off of your person and you’d been waiting around, counting ticks from the clock, and checking twitter on your phone.
“... Thief,” He says, since he doesn’t know your name, doesn’t know your identity. You’re not prolific enough to have one like Selina Kyle does. “What have you taken now?”
“Does it look like I can fit much in this suit?” You ask, doing a little spin for him. “Maybe I’m just here to learn a little culture.”
“I don’t find that very likely,” Arthur said with a chuckle. “You’re usually gone by the time one of us gets here, what’s the deal today? Feeling lonely?”
“Something like that,” You said. “I thought I’d come to steal something else today...” You walk in closer to him, knowing that he could grab you at any time, use his strength to turn you into the authorities. You’re close enough to where no matter how fast you were, you wouldn’t be able to get away from his reach. Keeping it risky.
“I don’t keep my wallet on me when I’m working, sorry,” Arthur said, surprising you with a broad smile. Oh, he had my sense of humor. I liked that.
“I was thinking something a little less tangible...” You said, your lips pouting. Your mask only hid three quarters of your face to protect your identity, but your mouth was very much exposed. Arthur was about to ask what you were thinking when you decided to steal it just then and there. It’s not really thieving if its just given to you, and charity is not your expertise. What you stole was a kiss from his plump lips. And he didn’t seem to mind. He was surprised but then he returned it, walking you up against the wall so that you had no place to escape from, your tongues in a frenzy. No, you don’t think he minded at all.
However, it did kind of sound like the police minded, since you could hear their sirens. You ended the kiss with a pop, and lightly patted his cheek. “That’s my cue. Let’s do this again sometime. Maybe you can buy dinner first,” You grinned, rolled between his legs before he could comprehend what was happening and was out of there. Once you was back onto the rooftop, you looked through the skylight to see him staring up at me with a grumpy expression. You blew him a kiss, and then set on your way home, hiding in the shadows. Oh, what a man. He doesn’t seem the type to kiss and tell so you should be in the clear.

I was thinking about The Tunnel Bore Incident. Because by the time they blew it up, Doc already had more diamonds than he'd need for the rest of the season twice over. And I had this idea about what Doc might have actually said to Grian and Scar. I feel like he would probably have taken them into a Discord call, and told them quite plainly: "I built a gigantic, intricate redstone contraption, and you two managed to cause a chain reaction that blew the entire thing to pieces. Luckily for you both, it was no longer strictly necessary. In any case: You owe me." And then he would Pause Dramatically. "So as payment, you and I shall spend the next little while making Content out of this catastrophe."
Something like that.
This would definitely be on-brand for Doc, who derived a great deal of evil joy at the beginning of the season explaining on Twitter exactly how dead Joe Hills was going to be for stealing the live shulker he left at spawn, only to wind up giving Joe another shulker so that he would still have a pet shulker at his base (and then never building a shulker farm of his own and leaving the reclaimed shulker at spawn for another year.)
The thing is, some people got very scared and worked up over both these incidents because for one, maybe they have trauma from other SMPs in the past they don't understand that all the Hermits are adults, professionals, and most importantly colleagues who all have a vested interest in the world they are creating together. Much like in the Life Series, nothing goes in front of the audience that the creators are not okay with. We know that the Hermits don't always agree on things, but we also know that they keep their disagreements private and settle them behind the scenes.
In both these cases there was an injury to Doc, from Joe when he played a prank that was far more difficult to fix than he intended it to be (Joe has a surprising natural aptitude for the horrendous task of moving live shulkers around), and Scar and Grian obviously for blowing up a massive piece of machinery. Joe has a lot of anxiety about prank wars because he's had problems with them in the past, so the dispute was settled quickly with the return of the purloined mob and, despite Doc's Twitter bluster, with minimal impact. Scar and Grian, on the other hand, love prank wars and escalation, so rather than grabbing a Litematica schematic and fixing the machine (or begging Impulse, Tango or Xisuma to do it for them) they compensated Doc for the loss with three or four episodes of highly entertaining content and an excuse to put his highly-trained supervillain mind to work.
Honestly, Doc is one of my favorite content creators on the server because he has this dichotomy to him, where on the one hand he _loves_ building death robots and war machines and turning the power of the Hivemind towards ever-escalating retaliations, while on the other hand he loves making artwork and pretending his slimes are tomatoes. He clearly has a lot of affection and respect for his fellow creators, and it's very funny to watch him feigning rage and annoyance when he'd rather be charmed by Scarland and all the balloons and cat ears he got from it. Most Hermits need the occasional all-out Server War for enrichment purposes, but nobody (except possibly Grian) gets as much enjoyment from them as Doc. He's so great.

Idk if the emoji thing works but 🐺
AITA for ignoring my friend's relationship and waiting for it to end?
Background: I (20F) have known my best friend (19X) since we were 14. We've gone through a few different friend groups (nothing dramatic, just fading relationships) but have always stuck with each other, partially because we are both autistic. I know them very well and they have said that I am their main support system. They have BPD which causes them to get obsessed with someone, which normally I would not think is my business, but they have a history of getting obsessed with people who hurt them, and I've always tried to warn them if I felt someone had bad intentions.
They've recently escaped their abusive household which is really exciting but I worry might make them feel lonelier because they've been getting into more of these situations recently. There were a couple minor relationships where someone broke a boundary causing them to have a breakdown, but neither affected their safety. And a few months ago they were talking to an older man online who I got weird vibes from but only mildly hinted to them he was creepy, which made me feel guilty when it ended up being way worse than I thought and became a disaster.
About three weeks ago, they started roleplaying with some guy on twitter, which I didn't think much of since they mainly just talked about what a good writer he is and he seemed fine. But then they asked what I would think if they started dating him even though he's in his 30s and I kinda thought they were just looking for a reason not to do it, so I said no he's too old for you. But then they started trying to convince me it was a good idea which only made me more hesitant. Their evidence in favor included that he used to be in the military (they know i hate the military so I do not know why they admitted this) and pictures of him (I am gay so this would not convince me regardless). They seemed surprised by my negative reaction, I said sorry but you asked for my honest opinion, they understood and I thought this was the end of it.
But now they're legitimately online dating and they talk about him all the time, they don't seem to understand that I am not a fan of this relationship and expect me to react positively to everything he does. I don't react negatively or completely ignore them I just go "ok" or "cool." They might not notice this because I often have times where I can't speak much so it's unfortunately normal for me.
I haven't noticed any other red flags from this guy other than the age gap and the military thing, but those seem a lot worse to me because of my friend's history and penchant for ignoring red flags, so I feel like if something worse was going on I wouldn't even know. Apparently he's going to come visit them in August (it's January as I send this) and I feel like that's enough time that the relationship will either die out or end horribly before he actually has the chance to physically be around them.
I feel torn in two different ways. On the one hand, I know that I'm paranoid and overprotective, not to mention scared of men, so I could just be overreacting to the situation. I don't think he's going to murder them or anything, but they're sensitive and I don't want them to add someone to the long list of people who traumatized them. They ARE a legal adult so it technically shouldn't be a big deal but they're the first person to be creeped out by legal age gaps, they just don't seem to apply this logic to themselves. I'm also not super experienced in relationships, I've only had a few short casual ones so I am not at all an expert.
On the other hand, I felt like shit when the situation with the other guy blew up even though they never blamed me for it. I feel like I should be doing more to dissuade them but they didn't seem to care when I warned them before so I feel like it's a lost cause and I don't wanna be pushy, I want them to genuinely understand why it's not a good idea.
I feel like I'm damned if I do damned if I don't, so I've kinda just settled on passively not really giving them feedback on the relationship in the hopes they'll figure it out themselves? As always I check in on them, try to give them positive attention so they're not desperate for it, and if the relationship actually lasts til August I'll make sure I know their location so they can tell me if they feel unsafe.
I feel like an asshole no matter what I do, so what I'm asking specifically is AITA for basically just ignoring the situation hoping it solves itself? Either because I should be supporting it or because I should bring up my concerns with them again.
What are these acronyms?

“Chaining of Melkor.” Tulkas, with the help of Orome and Yavanna, binds and imprisons Melkor.
Close ups & artist notes below cut
The chaining of Melkor is a theme I’ve been working on and off for about a year now, here are two of the attempts I can find on my twitter Dx I never went through with them though, I could never seem to find the right way to express the idea.
Tumblr media
The visual inspiration for this one comes from Sebastiano Ricci’s “The Punishment of Cupid.” idk i just think it’s neat lol
Tumblr media
whatever this style is called... it doesn’t allow for much characterization. I received critique (that I willingly asked for) that my characters lack expression. I tried to salvage that a little by giving each Valar their own little accessories... oh well I’m not sure it worked. But here are the close-ups
Tulkas: tried to give him as much muscle definition as possible, I think it’s not great to draw out each individual fibre of the deltoids. But to really push his muscular form, I think it worked. The pose is inspired by wrestling.
Tumblr media
Melkor: I think he should have a lyre somewhere... Blue cloth to separate him from the “good” Valar.
Tumblr media
Orome: self-explanatory I think... can’t get any more oromey than the bow/arrows and the disney princess birds lmao. iirc those are finches; nothing special, just very expressive.
Tumblr media
At this point the piece was starting to reek of testosterone so i wanted to bring in a lady somewhere. I asked you guys a couple weeks ago which lady valar is the strongest. While I agree Nessa is likely to be physically the strongest, Yavanna was the best candidate for this piece since she was very vocal about her opposition to Melkor, and her association with plants makes her easier to identify in a painting.
Tumblr media
Anyway this painting has been really difficult to finish, I’m genuinely surprised that I got to finish it before my birthday, it’s been a difficult past few weeks painting this on top of school >.< I gotta thank the artists of arda discord for helping me on composition (which blew up in my face regardless hah;;;) 
It’s funny because when I looked back at the sketch now, I realise that Tulkas was meant to be holding a sword and they were all meant to have wings. The wings I scrapped because the composition was getting overwhelming, maybe some other day I’ll go through with them??

Love is Better the Second Time Around ep 4
Tumblr media
Photo Credit : Love is Better the Second Time Around Promotional Account on Twitter | https://x.com/koi_nido/status/1772596502365356096?s=46
Gosh, this episode really made me so happy. It really compensated the massive emotional blue balls which I had because of Cherry Magic the Anime episode 11
SHORT REVIEW HERE WE GO ! SPOILERS SPOILERS!!!! DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU WANT TO BE SURPRISED BY THE PLOT
The biggest thing that popped up to me from the episode is the Sukida vs Aishiteru difference in Japanese. Before watching the episode, I had this understanding that, okay, Japanese people prefer to just use Sukida as the stand-in for "I Love You" rather than using the actual phrase of Aishiteru. Even when Hitro described how much he always loves crab cream croquette, he used the word Sukida - chuto sukidasteo -, instead of Aishiteru, granted that he was describing how he loves an inanimate object, not a person. In the cold open, Hiro used the noun form of love, which is "Koi". OH and the nighttime postdate pier confrontation. I really would love to understand which words Takashi actually used. "まずは さ僕と恋をしてみようよ" - Takashi actually used the noun form of love - koi -, the second time in the show. "のに 君が思ってる以上に僕もずいぶん君にはまってるよ" was what Takashi said before the date, here he used the word "into you" or more literally "addicted to you". But then, during the sex scene, while Hiro was riding Takashi I MUST ADD, I was so shocked that Takashi actually said "Aishiteru". The notion of Japanese people being too afraid of standing out by saying "I Love You" really just blew out of my mind immediately. Of course, the context of the scene might actually describe the intensity of their love that crosses the mass mentality of conformity and hence, the utterance of "I Love You". And also, it happened very privately. Not in some streets where other people might judge you more, ergo lowering the bar of whether to say "I Love You" or not. This case of saying I Love You or not is very interesting for me, I really want to understand more Japanese speakers preferred dictions.
The second biggest thing that I noticed from the show is their way of saying Sex. My understanding is that in BL Japanese works, they will just flat out say "Sex" rather than coding it, like what happened in Tokyo in April is..., Straight J-Dramas, on the other hand, just used the word "it". In one of the episodes of Turn to Me Mukai-Kun, the only straight J-Drama that I've watched Mukai-kun talked with one of his previous sex partners, they used the word "it" to describe their no-strings-attached sex. Of course, it's just an observation, I have not watched that many straight J-dramas. However, it turns out, in this series, they much prefer to use the word "it" as well. In episode 3, when Hiro said, before leaving the onsen, "Just because we have done it, doesn't mean we're dating". I really thought it was just due to Hiro's disbelief that he had sex with his ex-boyfriend, hence the implicit shame in admitting, and uttering that he had "sex". But now, in episode 4, during Haru masturbation scene, he says "そもそも好きだししちゃったし", again, the use of "it" Even though, I think the context has shifted, Haru was slowly admitting his love and feelings to Takashi; hence, he may not see the sex as something to be ashamed of anymore. But again, this might come from a very amateur observer of Japanese linguistic culture, I mean, the use of "it" might actually signify the idea that Haru doesn't see what he does with Takashi as "Sex" maybe they see it as "making love" lol, I know, such a corny phrase. However, maybe, Haru is just not at the point of saying that they are making love yet, but not calling it something as casual as "sex", (I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman by Britney Spears playing in the background). But that hypothesis doesn't really stand as Hiro actually said the word "sex" as they were having sex. What exactly are the connotations of the word "sex" for Japanese speakers?
I really love the consent feature of this episode. Hiro was too drunk to give consent, so Takashi just entertained him in his house, and they went out after Hiro became sober. Weird that they didn't use the trope of being too drunk and being needed to be carried by your love interest lol.
I also love that they used Uke taking care of Seme trope. it happened in My Personal Weatherman, Sasaki to Miyano [not definitive], If It's with You [not definitive], to say the least. I know it's not good in equating all of these heteronormative gender roles to a gay couple, but I think it's a nice trope to show that Ukes have dignity and play such a crucial role in gay relationships. I think it's much better for Japanese viewers to understand the out-of-the-box ness of queer couples by showing more on how Semes can also take care of Ukes - like in The End of the World with You.
ALSO. My brain itch still stands!!!! HIRO REJECTED TAKASHI. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Gosh, the unequal love trope was called back in this episode. Is this a new trend amongst Japanese BL works?
FURTHERMORE. How can Takashi be that rich? Are university lecturers in Japan paid that well? the apartment, the stuff? HE HAS HIS OWN OFFICE, like what?
P.S. I really love how just mid-wild the sex scene in the end is. It's so typical of this show to be crazily in the middle.
After Takashi proposed and they all got lovey-dovey, omg they look so cute in acting like newlyweds.
Of course, they're gonna break up before reuniting in the finale, wouldn't be a bl if it didn't have one. Gosh, I'm gonna cry so hard in the next episode.

ORIGINAL POST CAN BE FOUND ON TWITTER HERE
Second fanart I did of Petri!
This one really blew up on Twitter, which I was originally surprised about... but to be fair. She is very round.
Media description under the cut. Please do not repost or edit my art.
[Media Description:
This post features fanart for the video game series, Animal Crossing.
It features the snooty mouse villager, Petri. She is incredibly round, incredibly mouse-shaped rather than animal crossing villager-shaped. She is looking up and holds her little mouse hands together in joy. The text beside her, written in an overly-ornate font, reads "women in STEM". There is a heart beside it.
End of Media Description.]

I’m only sending this anonymously bc I am a painter and come on here to share my work. I sell my work on here and do not want crazies on my page 🩷
My friends are BO fans too and people on Twitter have been talking about your blog.
Feel free to post this.
Noah is a kind person. Anyone who’s met him even for 2 minutes can tell you that!!!!!!!!
I met him several times at shows since 2018 before they blew up, talked to him a lot online during the pandemic and have had many conversations, AND I CAN PROVE IT. I’m not one of those crazies trying to ruin his reputation or making stuff up. We used to talk about art and just very innocent things. His personality is very pure and he is a true artist. He’s a flirt but he’s a guy who cares. He loves architecture and A24 films.
He does not deserve to be treated the way some people on here have been treating him :(
Thanks for sharing, hun! 🙂
Kinda surprising you mention my blog and X on the same sentence since not many people know me or my blog over there!

I'm a bit surprised how many people are against the UK billboard! I did donate, but I never expected this billboard to have the same effect or visibility as the Times Square one... And of course, I also don't expect it to have real impact on whether we get picked up or not. I thought we might get a few news articles about it in the UK and a morale boost from it.
I understand the concerns about the fundraiser transparency, of course. I don't know how other fandoms have done these fundraisers, whether they've been better at organizing them... There's certainly a lot to learn!
I've seen some people suggest that we shouldn't buy another billboard because... we already had one? I was just reading about the Wynonna Earp campaign and apparently they bought over 250 billboards between s3 and s4 when the show ran out of funding (I also found a Twitter thread with pics of 100 Times Square billboards they bought). If they had that many, then how is 2 billboards for OFMD overkill?
This fandom gets hate for the campaign no matter what we do, even for just tweeting about the show... Isn't visibility exactly what our campaign needs, though? Are we going to tone down the campaign just so we don't get harassed? I don't really see the point in trying to protect the fandom, when the only way to really do that is to completely shut up about the show. And I certainly won't be shutting up about it :D
Anyway. These are just my thoughts on the subject. I'm very curious to see the new billboard! We'll probably learn a lot from it, from how it affects the fandom and how the press reacts to it (if they do)... And of course, how DJ reacts to it.
OMG IM SO SORRY ANON! Yesterday blew up and I never got a chance to get back to you!
I'm with you-- I'm sure there is always something more to learn! I had read the transparency policy a few times right before it was announced (cause I was asked to put it up on my repository), and it seemed like it was pretty straight forward-- but obviously some things needed to be clarified! From what I've seen on the Save OFMD Crew Discord since then, they're working on taking feedback and are going to be updating it to make it more clear.
I also saw that there was a vote going on about leaving the website the same, and I think that passed, but dont quote me on that.
HOLLLY SHIT 250 billboards!? WOW. Well I'm glad they found some funding, jeez! And hey-- it worked right? I think they got their renewal, or at least they're getting a finale.
I respect your thoughts on the subject and I really apreciate you reaching out and expressing them! It's good to hear multiple points of view on it. I definitely agree that there's always going to be someone mad about the fandom. It's just hard I think for our friends who have been around and probably have PTSD from all the hate by this point. I think that means we, the folks still able to do it, should be the front liners on all this and help fight that hate back.
I offer this freely-- if I have the time, and you are running into problems with hate inside the fandom, hit me up. I enjoy being a polite menace and talking through things with people. I got my degree in International Studies/Relations so I have a lot of experience with talking through things-- and I'm more than happy to help if I can!
I am excited to see what happens with the billboard, come good or bad. Thanks anon for writing in, and so sorry again for the delay!
Sending love <3

Merry ChristMASS Chapter 4: The Gift That Keeps on Giving
[Story Gallery] [First Part] [Previous Part]
Our final two competitors fight it out for the title of Santa Claus. We'll see the North Pole survives the competition. This story was originally based an old comic of @greggrth's on Twitter
David led the remaining men down a long hallway. All of the others were utterly confused about what they just saw in front of them. Each of them wondering what possible fantasy Bruno must’ve had in order for him to emerge a giant with another unknown giant on his arm. They all approached a large metallic door.
“Excuse me David. You never mentioned what our final task would be,” said Vincent. David opened the doors to the outside where they began walking in the snow again.
“Your final task will determine how well you can perform the real duty of Santa Claus. It might come as a bit of a surprise to you. What most people don’t understand is the amount of cookies you’ll need to eat as Santa. This will test how much of this sugary sweet treat you can stomach.”
“Bring it. I’ve loved all the cookies you’ve served so far,” said Rafael.
“Yes, but that has only been a few cookies. Santa must consume millions of cookies in one night. We’ve managed to solve most of the problems with magic, however this has not been one of them,” said David.
“Can’t you just throw the cookies away?” asked Vincent.
“We’ve tried. It’s never gone well. The first year we tried it, the following year was World War II. Then we tried it again to test if it was a fluke or not and then the Vietnam War happened. It’s just bad luck not to,” said Joseph.
“What if you were to get rid of them with magic. with magic?” asked Rafael.
“My magic is very good at creating things, hence why I am one of the biggest givers of all time. It is not engineered to destroy,” said David. “And this is why they all must be eaten. Remember the story I told you about a while ago? How Santa nearly blew up? That’s what happens when someone eats millions of cookies in an instant.” The men walked up to a cottage and entered. There they found a plate of fresh cookies waiting for them.
“This will be a test of stamina, not speed. But I wanted to make things a bit more interesting. Once the plate in front of you has been eaten, many more plates of cookies will spawn all over the North Pole. But there will be a plate with special properties to it once you start eating,” said David.
“What kind of properties?” asked Rafael.
“You will have to figure that out for yourself,” said David.
“How will a winner be crowned?” asked Vincent.
“David and I will be keeping track of how many cookies are eaten by the two of you. The contest will be over when neither of you can stomach another cookie. After that, David and I will crown a winner based on the number of cookies you each ate.” said Joseph.
“You may begin eating when ready,” said David and with a snap, him and Joseph were gone.
The two men sat down at the table in front of them facing each other. Rafael was the first one to reach for a cookie. “Well cheers I guess,” said Rafael.
“Cheers,” responded Vincent as he also grabbed a cookie. The two bit into the cookies and let out an “Mmm” in unison.
“These are so good!” said Rafael. He shoved the rest of the cookie into his mouth and grabbed at the pile again for more. “Are you sure you don’t want more?” asked Rafael in between bites.
“David said this contest was about stamina, not speed,” said Vincent.
“Suit yourself URP” Rafael burped as he rubbed his belly. As Vincent finished his first cookie, his eyes were brought to Rafael when he heard a low rumble coming from the man’s stomach. Suddenly, Vincent saw Rafael’s body began to inflate. The sleeves around his arms seemed to tighten, the buttons on his shirt tightened from his large pecs, his shirt riding up and revealing a large gut that pressed into the table.
“What the hell?!?” yelled Vincent as he saw the man gain about 50 pounds in a few seconds.
“Huh?” Rafael looked down at his body. He saw nothing but his bloated tits when he looked down. “Woah,” said Rafael in awe. He lifted his arm up and flexed it. He watched the strains of fabric be pushed to their limit as the ball of muscle grew.
“Dude…what did you do? You got-”
“Big.” Rafael continued to admire his body. Putting his hand under his newly grown pecs and feeling the weight of them. “I’m huge!” Rafael stopped groping himself and locked eyes with the table.
“But how? Is David doing some kind of magic on you?” Rafael reached his hand out to the table and grabbed a handful of cookies and shoved them into his mouth.
“Bigger,” was all that left his lips when another loud groan was heard from the man’s stomach. Rafael grew much quicker this time. His head slowly rose up as he smiled feeling the growth spread. His gut grew out onto the table. Inflating quickly like a yoga ball. A loud “POP” rang through the air as his top button flew across the room. One by one, each button revealed more and more the man’s glorious chest. Each pec reaching the size of suitcases and continued to gain pounds. Another loud sound was heard by the men as Rafael’s fat ass ripped apart his pajamas. His ass and thunder thighs shredding the fabric like a piece of paper. With his pants gone, Rafael’s cock was freed, and it flopped down onto the floor under the man’s rounded belly. The beast lengthening under the table toward Vincent as it was now well over 6 feet long and thicker than .
Seeing that the giant was growing closer to him, Vincent stood up from his seat and backed away from him. “Rafael! You need to stop growing!” As his transformation continued, Vincent heard a loud crash as the giant’s ass hit the ground. The chair that had been supporting him had snapped like a twig under his growing weight.
“So big,” said Rafael as his transformation came to a halt. He was sitting on the ground and was a head taller than Vincent. His own head just inches away from the ceiling of the cottage they were in. “I need more!” said Rafael as he reached for the tray of cookies.
“More?! Rafael you can’t be serious? You can’t even fit through the door!” screamed Vincent as he tried to grab the cookies before Rafael could, but it was too late.
“Vincent, I’ve always wanted to be bigger.” Rafael grabbed the cookies and threw them all back into his open mouth. “Besides, David can fix whatever we do with magic.” With a gulp, the cookies hit the behemoths belly. “Yes! More!” Rafael began to grow again. Every inch of him packing on 50 pounds per second. His stomach charging forward toward Vincent like a locomotive as his head hit the ceiling. Under his impressive stomach, Rafael’s cock also lurched forward. Pressing Vincent into the wall behind him.
“Rafael! Please stop and let me get out!” Vincent felt the now 9-foot-long cock continue to pulse with growth as the weight pushed against him.
“Too late little guy,” said Rafael as his head started cracking the ceiling. Vincent looked up for a moment as the cock pinned him to the wall only to see a ballooning belly be pushed into his face.
From the outside of the house, the walls seemed to bulge out in every direction. The first sight of Rafael’s body was his head poking out of the ceiling of the cottage. Next his massive belly and cock took their toll on the wall and they spilled out onto the snow outside. Then there was Rafael’s ass that had been steadily growing behind him. It pushed through the walls both behind it and on its side. Lastly to burst free were his arms. On each side of the cottage, his arms broke down the walls and brought themselves into a double bicep flex. Finally the entire cottage was brought down as his pecs broke the remaining parts of the roof that hadn’t been destroyed by his head and shoulders bursting through.
Holding tightly to the head of Rafael’s cock, Vincent fell out onto the snow as the growing dick grew. He shimmied his way out from under the behemoth and stood up to see Rafael. He was a true giant. Sitting down, he was easily two stories tall, if not three, and looked like he weighed two tons. A lot of that weight was in his fat gut. The orb of a belly was far taller than Vincent was. It was like he had swallowed a car.
“Haha, now we’re talking,” laughed Rafael as he groped his newly grown body. “I’m so massive. But I want to be bigger.” Vincent heard the giant’s deep voice and remembered the other cookies that David had put out across the North Pole. In an instant, Rafael’s big body got up from the ground and began sprinting and looking down for more plates of cookies. “I need MORE!”
“I’ve gotta find another plate of cookies before he gets any bigger.” Vincent started running toward the Naughty and Nice building he was just in. Rushing in and looking around for a platter of cookies. Seeing nothing, he ran out another door and sitting just outside the door on a pedestal was an even bigger plate of cookies. “Yes! I beat him here!” said Vincent as he began shoveling cookie after cookie into his mouth.
“Hey Vincent!” came a shout from the distant. Vincent turned his head as he continued chewing on cookies.
“Oh no! He found me!” Vincent grabbed the plate of cookies and ran back into the building. Thunderous steps shook everything around Vincent as Rafael descended his huge body onto the building. Vincent saw his massive arm reach in through the door, but he was too far away for him to reach. Vincent still felt worried that Rafael could do what he did to that cottage and tear down this building to get to the cookies.
“Come on now Vincent. Christmas is about giving. So give me some of those cookies!” yelled Rafael as he looked inside the building.
“Why aren’t they working?” cried Vincent as he polished the last cookie off the plate. Right after the words left his mouth, he heard his stomach let out a low growl. “Oh.” Vincent’s belly quickly inflated inside his Christmas onesie. Rips forming all over his body as pounds were added on every second.
“This,” Vincent’s pecs ripped through the neck hole.
“Feels,” His ass burst apart the seat of his pants.
“So,” His cock ripping out the front of his pants with a nice pair of balls to match.
“Incredible!” His head skyrocketing toward the ceiling.
“Vincent, what’s going on in there?” asked Rafael from outside the door. He couldn’t see clearly into the room, but suddenly his nose was met with a wall of flesh.
“Bigger.” Rafael backed away from the door and saw cracks forming in the walls.
“Bigger!” Vincent’s cock lurched out the doorway and hit Rafael. Landing him on his ass.
“BIGGER!” Vincent’s entire body broke out from the building, leaving it in ruins. Rafael looked up at the new giant that Vincent had become. From the bottom up, Vincent’s cock was bigger than a house with balls bigger than cars. His hairless gut resembled the size of blimp and above it sat two massive slabs of meat known as pecs. Each one was bigger than 18-wheelers and twice as thick. Vincent’s head was now higher than any building around them in the North Pole.
“He’s massive!” Rafael got up out of the snow and reveled in Vincent’s size.
“Haha. I see why you were so eager to get your hands on more of those cookies. The feeling you get when you grow is indescribable,” said Vincent as he brought one of his biceps up and flexed. The ball of muscle growing bigger than Vincent’s own head.
“I’ve gotta find more,” said Rafael under his breath. He looked around and saw the workshop they had just been in for the train exercise. Scrambling to get there, he ripped off the roof to see another tray of cookies, this time on a golden plate.
“Hey! You get back here!” yelled Vincent as he ran towards Rafael. Rafael looked back and saw Vincent lunging toward him. He turned his back to Vincent and swallowed all of the cookies in one gulp. He threw the plate into the snow as he felt a new transformation coming on. “Gotcha!” said Vincent as he grabbed onto Rafael’s smaller shoulders.
“Not for long,” said Rafael. He straightened his back as his body sored into the sky. Rafael’s ass was the only thing that Vincent could see growing. The already fat ass quickly bulged back into Vincent’s cock. Vincent instantly felt his cock harden as Rafael’s ass plumped up bigger and bigger. He couldn’t resist and shoved his cock head into Rafael’s ass.
“Fuck” yelled Rafael as Vincent penetrated him. His own cock getting hard as he felt his ass grow further back into the cock.
“I’m sorry man. I’ve been eying your ass ever since we got here and the way it was growing, I had to fuck it,” said Vincent as he started to thrust more of his cock into Rafael’s welcoming hole.
“You’re good. I have to admit that I did think you were cute when we appeared in the North Pole.”
“And now?”
“Now? You’re fucking hot!” Rafael’s transformation seemed to subside as the two of them got started full on fucking. Rafael had stopped at just a bit bigger than Vincent, but he didn’t mind. Vincent’s 20-foot-long cock was big enough to satisfy the 60-foot-tall man. Vincent picked up the pace as he thrusted harder and harder into Rafael. The indent of his cock being seen bulging out of Rafael’s stomach.
In the midst of their hot sex session, Vincent looked down and saw the plate of cookies that Rafael had tossed to the side from his previous growth spurt. It was now full! Vincent smirked as he leaned over, grabbed the plate of cookies, poured them into his free hand, and fed them to Rafael as he moaned.
“Gobble these up for me.” Rafael didn’t need to be told twice. He swallowed the cookies with ease and smiled as he heard a familiar gurgle from his stomach. Rafael again shot up in height.
“Bigger!” shouted Rafael. His body bulged out in all directions. His gut plowed forward destroying the toy factory below as his ass bubbled out behind him. Vincent was met with Rafael’s ass growing tighter and tighter on his cock. Vincent’s thrusting became animalistic as he grabbed Rafael’s fat ass cheeks in his hands. Massaging and squeezing them, Vincent couldn’t hold the flood gates back any longer.
“Fuuuuuuuuuck!” cried Vincent as his balls seized up and cum filled Rafael’s already enormous belly. Vincent’s torrent of jizz seemed endless as Rafael continued to grow both from the cookies and the slow filling of his guts. Rafael felt Vincent’s jets start to lighten up as his growth tapered off.
“That’s all you got pretty boy?” challenged Rafael. Vincent himself felt his balls beginning to empty as the cum shots began to slow down. He looked down at his hand and saw the plate. It was full of cookies again.
“It refills itself!” A devilish grin sprouted on Vincent’s face. He threw his hand back into his mouth, swallowing the plate and all. “Be ready for the fucking of a century big guy!” Vincent heard a gurgle from his stomach and resumed ramming his cock into Rafael.
Rafael felt Vincent’s cock begin thrusting into him again, with more passion than ever. Each thrust felt like Vincent was going deeper and deeper every time. “Now you’re talking!” He felt Vincent’s cum shots regain their previous strength. Rafael’s belly now growing much faster as cum flooded his system. Everything took a turn when Rafael saw the imprint of Vincent’s dick in his already massive stomach. Each thrust pushing out further and further as he continued to be filled up like a cum balloon.
“What are you gonna do now? Vincent just ate the magic plate and he’s growing out of control,” said Joseph. David and Joseph were watching the entire display go down from a couch. Each of them naked and jerking each other’s cocks
“Oh don’t you worry about that. In a little bit, Vincent’s cum should be meeting the cookies that Rafael ate,” said David
“Why does that matter?” asked Rafael.
“It’s milk. There will always be the combo of milk and cookies, not just cookies. When Vincent’s “milk” soaks the cookies, they reactivate themselves. So as long as Vincent keeps cumming, Rafael will grow with him,” replied David as he jerked his cock. “Now watch. I think things are about to get good.”
Vincent had begun growing and hadn't stopped. Merely muttering “More” and “Bigger” as his body expands across the North Pole. The pair feel the ice cracking below them as their weight becomes too much even for the ice to handle them. Rafael meanwhile is becoming more and more ball like while Vincent’s jizz seems unending.
“Vincent! You’ve gotta pull out! I feel like I’m gonna explode!” yelled Rafael as his limbs disappeared into his growing belly. Vincent in such a faze of lust could barely register that Rafael was talking. It was only when the ice below them broke when Vincent came back to reality.
“Huh? Oh yeah. Sorry little guy.” Vincent pulled his growing cock out from Rafael’s ass and spun the orbs around so that he could see his face. “I got a little carried away. Guess that can happen when you’re the biggest being in existence” Vincent’s cock seemed to stop shooting jets as the cold water below him cooled him off. His body continued to grow away from the Rafael ball. His body crushing mountains all over the North Pole without him even knowing. Vincent picked up Rafael as he shrank below him. Becoming lighter and lighter in his hands. “How do you feel?” asked Vincent as he put Rafael in one of his palms.
“Like I could explode. I don’t feel so- UUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP” Rafael let out the biggest burp anyone had ever heard. It could be felt at all corners of the globe, but then it started. He was growing and he was growing fast. He quickly outgrew the giant’s hand and he landed in the Northern Atlantic Ocean. Sending tidal waves out from his body. Rafael’s body regaining its shape as his limbs reappear and quickly approaching Vincent’s size.
“Who were you calling little guy, little guy?” said Rafael as his size surpassed Vincent’s. Each of their bodies effortlessly crushing the Northern Hemisphere. Unaware of their own size, the two resumed their fucking. Both growing in spurts as they outgrew the whole Earth.
“Ouch!” cried Vincent as something struck the back of his head. He looked back and saw that he had bonked his head on the moon. Grabbing the satellite in his hand and watching it shrink in his hands as the two men watched the Earth fade away. One by one, every planet passed by the two planet sized men.
“How much bigger are we gonna get?” asked Rafael as Vincent continued to cum inside him.
“I don’t know, but I don’t care! Keep it going! I want to be bigger than the whole galaxy!” yelled Vincent as another spurt came over him. Rafael simply smiled as he accepted his new reality of being pumped full of cum just for his body to break it down and make him grow bigger. It’s gonna be a happy life.

Tumblr media
I had a conversation with my buddy ol' pal @bludoby on how as former Instagram mains we both become disillusioned with instagram and it's treatment of artists.
Even with posts that "blow up" on every other platform, Instragram refuses to share my art outside of my followers, same for Blu who has seen a noticeable decline in followers for the site. This is no longer a viable platform for growing artists looking to form a community or get commissions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It wasn't always bad, we mained it for a reason.
Pre-reels era before 2020 Instragram was a great place to find fandoms, I was all over for fancomics. You could really get a sense which fandom was active from how it invade your feed. The voltron era was intense even though I never got involved but the art was good. For a platform that's minimal on the words being an image based platform, it was easy to avoid the discourse you hear second hand. Instagram was the best place to enter "toxic" fandoms cuz it's just images and nobody cares about words. It was fun to build an individual community but it was always a bit too individual and insular. I really liked the asmr community although alot of ppl found it annoying, slimes and soaps and mukbang, delicious sounds that give me the tingles. It blew up and all the internet came to leer at it or make fun of it or enjoy it.
It's gone now.
Reels screwed it all up since the way that these were filmed. They just don't fit the format and all the videos were all forced into the format. It's also killed the edit community for the same reason, something that uniquely thrived on pre reels insta.
They saw the tiktok cashcow and wanted a bite.
It had it's problems, constant art thieves, you can't post something too detailed or Instragram blurs it togather. There was this thing were ppl would target tags and spam them with like pictures of poop or edgy memes mostly controversial ship tags and ppls personal sorting tags like #/Blankblankcomic.
I hate how reels are getting more and more invasive. I have how the normal pictures next to the reels are surprise more reels. I hate how you have to enter reels mode to see more the video or hear the sound and you get stuck back into the endless scroll.
Tumblr media
We're trying to build up on other platforms but they have their problems, Tumblr is awesome but it doesn't have the largest fanbase, Twitter is... twitter, the others don't support pictures.
Tumblr media
The way that these social media sites push young artist's inherit creativity and passion til they burnout and discard them from the algorithm and they think it's the audience losing interest in them and feel obligated to almost pay rent to fandom with content and apologize for not posting for a while BUT IT'S NOT THEM.
Tumblr media
Mega tech companies are monopolizing our very attention and it frightens me.

So It Goes
this a collaboration fic with @yamahex
authors note: I wanna thank @yamahex for collaborating with me in this fic. definetely make sure to check out her blog as she's a great writer and I just love how she writes Jack in her fics
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KRTH-FM and worldwide at KRTH-FM.com is Y/N and her song “Fragments”. 
“Oh my gosh you’re on the radio” Starlie, Y/N best friend squeal in excitement as you guys were sitting on the cafeteria. 
It was 2019. Y/N was a freshman at college and doing very well herself in terms of academic work. And with a lot of time in her hands, it seemed like a good idea to start writing again. With the help of her roommate who was studying Audio Technology, she was able to record “Fragments”, which she ended up releasing on Spotify. 
Following Billie Eilish’s appreciation post on Twitter, the song blew up all over Tik Tok. And this is how everything started. 
Tumblr media
This little interaction led to a lot of exposure, and before she knew it, she was being approached by music executives from Sony Music Entertainment Group, RCA Records, and Universal Music Group. But ultimately she ended up signing with Transgressive Records, an independent record label based in London.
(Present Day)
One morning she got a call from Valentina, her manager, with news she never expected to receive. 
“Jack Harlow is fanboying over you right now-”
“-Jack Harlow?!”
 She laughs at your response. 
“He’s really obsessed with you right now and really wants to work with you”
 “Fuck”
“I think you guys could do a remix of Fragments or make a song together”
“Oh my gosh” “So, what do you want to do?” 
“Fuck yeah” 
“Do you want to do a song with him or do you want him to jump on Fragments?" 
“Yeah, like a remix”
You put your hair in a messy bun and proceeded to put on an oversized comfy hoodie and bike shorts. You were currently sitting in your bed while lurking through your Instagram, when you got a notification that Jack had just started an Instagram live. 
You spent the following 10 minutes contemplating whether you should enter to see what’s going on. 
On the screen was Jack in a hoodie with his messy curls all over the place looking into the comments. 
He was cute, there was no denying about it. 
In that moment he smiled to himself while looking at the comments, and it was such a cute moment. Upon scrolling through the comments, you realized all his fans had already outed you commenting nonstop that you had joined his live. 
Before you could contemplate leaving, you got a notification that he requested for you to join his livestream. You hesitated for a moment, but then you accepted.
“Oh I see you Y/N” 
“Hi” you said shyly. 
“Nice shirt” 
“oh thanks” she said looking quickly at her oversized hoodie. 
“That’s weird I almost wore those” 
“Did you?” 
“Yeah, that’s really embarrassing because one of us would have to go and change”
You burst out laughing. 
“How are you?” Jack asked. 
“I’m good, and you?”
“Good. You’re great by the way” 
“Yo chill out” 
He started laughing. 
Sleep started to take over Y/N and she accidently let slip a yawn 
“It’s ok you can go get your beauty sleep” 
“Sorry about that, goodnight” 
“I love you” 
Before you could react, you ended the live barely realizing what he said. 
To your surprise, the next day your phone was blowing with a bunch of notifications. Your livestream was the current topic of discussion all over Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On April 29th, the remix of Y/N's song Fragments featuring Jack Harlow was out. And it got a lot of people talking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s been three weeks since the remix of Fragments with Jack Harlow was out and Y/N had kept herself busy by promoting her upcoming album by doing a bunch of radio interviews. 
But tonight was the Met Gala. The most anticipated event of the year. A night filled with opulence and theatricality. And Y/N was among the attendees this year, and as her first time, she was beyond nervous. 
After months of preparation and fittings, it was finally here. Tonight Y/N was wearing a custom ensemble inspired by the painting “Elizabeth Wharton Drexel” by Giovanni Baldaini with a modern take to it. An off-shoulder glove corset top with a ballgown skirt with a train. 
The night consisted of getting ready, red carpets, interviews, and the exhibition. This is then followed by dinner, drinks and live performances.
And then it was finally the time of the after party. After a wardrobe change, she arrived at the Upper East Side’s Carlyle Hotel where the most exclusive after party was being held. And on the side of the stairs, you could find Y/N surrounded by Emma Chamberlain, Conan Gray and Olivia Rodrigo chatting the night away and bursting out laughing now and then.
In the mix of all the noise you made eye contact with Jack. He looked suave in his chocolate colored suit. Immediately a smile appeared on his face at the sight of you. Your nerves grew as you watched him approach. 
“Well if it isn’t the infamous Y/N.” He held his hand out which you accepted.
“Mr. Harlow, it’s good to see you.”
He snickered then let his eyes roam your dress. 
“Lookin good, as always.” 
Your cheeks flushed at the compliment. 
He took an extra moment to study the details of your outfit, with a smile on his face. 
“Are you trying to butter me up so you can get the collab?” 
He snickered and shook his head. 
“You’re silly, but nah you do always look good.”
“Well thank you, so do you.”
“Oh I know.”
The two of you laughed.
“But just to be clear, I would be happy to do a collab with you.”
His eyes widened and his smile grew. He held his hand out to you once again. 
“I look forward to working with you.”
 You shook his hand again and smiled brightly.
“I’m going to cut to the chase, I've been actually looking forward to meeting you, and I just feel captivated by you. So what do you say, do you think we could get away from here?” 
“Well, heaven cannot wait forever” 
Jack leaned into your ear. 
“I like the way you think”
They stepped outside into the glistening night. Both of you felt like kids skipping class, feeling the rush of excitement as you walked briskly through the bustling sidewalks of New York into the streets as Jack managed to hail a cab. 
They arrived at the hotel walking through the corridor to the way to Jack’s hotel giggling and goofing around. Y/N was currently wearing Jack’s shoes, which he insisted for her to wear as she was finding it hard to walk any longer with her stiletto heels, still in her gala outfit with her shoes on her right hand. 
Eventually they arrived to the designated room and they disappeared as they enter inside, getting lost in each other, as they proceed to culminate their night as they get to properly know each other.
