Tumblr media
“You’re not supposed to be here.”
You turned towards the angry whisper that hissed down your neck. The skin should have been seared by the burning hate that laced the words, but the only heat you felt was one of an entirely different kind. The fire in your belly was one that had been left to grow out of control, an endless fuel fed by the photos he uploaded online each day.
“Don’t be like that Charlie,” you mocked at you straightened his tie, tugging it tighter like you were contemplating choking him with it. “You should be thanking me, after all, this is everything I had planned for us.”
You looked around the lavish affair with a laugh. “Where is your lovely bride anyway? I should pass on my condolences. Oops, slip of the tongue, I meant congratulations.”
“No games, not here, not today.” Charles grabbed your arm and started to drag you out of the reception area and throw a set of doors that warned ‘staff only’. The classical music was silenced as they swung shut behind you and your back was pressed against the wall.
“Come now, Charlie, you love my games,” you teased as you tipped your head back to meet his glare. “You had no complaints about them last night.”
You swore you could hear the groan of his teeth as they clench together. “That was a mistake.”
“No, that will come when you find yourself stuck in missionary once a week, if you’re lucky, pretending to cum just so you don’t have to spend another second looking into the face of the woman who has trapped you in a life you don’t want. Then you will realise your mistake.”
His hands tightened enough to leave bruises but you weren’t done giving him the reality check he needed as he leaned in to growl in your ear, “Shut the fuck up.”
“You will miss taking me however you want, whenever you want. You will miss the freedom. I know you.” Your tongue rolled over his racing pulse and you felt the shiver down his spine. “I know you better than you know yourself, better than she will ever know you.”
“You’re crazy,” he muttered weakly, not believing his own words as his grip loosened. “You shouldn’t be here.”
“But you want me here.”
His head dropped to your shoulder with a groan as he admitted what you already knew, “I do want you here.”
“Then fucking have me. Do what you want and take me,” you baited him. “Fuck me while your bride wonders where her husband is. Fuck me like it’s the last time, Charlie.”
He turned you in an instant, slamming you against the wall as his hands furiously worked your skin tight dress over your ass before he freed himself from the tailored suit trousers he wore. His hand clamped over your mouth to silence the cry as he nudged your legs apart and thrust his cock inside you relentlessly. He was chasing a high and running from his fate. He was releasing the primal beast within, one last time before he was forced to bury it for the vows he had taken.
“That was the last time,” you confirmed for him after he filled your cunt with his seed and slipped from your body with the heaviness of regret. You pulled your dress back into place and felt the warmth running down your thighs, the bruises on your arms, the teeth marks on your shoulder. “Goodbye, Charles.”
“Wait,” he panted at the first step you took. “That’s it? What game are you playing?”
“That’s it, no game,” you shrugged. “I just needed to prove a point.”
His brows pinched in confusion. “What point?”
“That she may get your name, but I’ll always be the one you want.”

sinful Sunday: Douma with a breeding Kink. He is in heat and it last for 4 weeks but he see's reader, who has marriage problem. He secretly eat Reader husband and convince reader to sleep with him for 4 weeks. After the 4 weeks he keeps reader alive snd makes reader his wife and might even turn her into a demon after birth...
Tumblr media
SINFUL SUNDAY
Douma's keen eyes locked onto you the moment you strolled into Paradise Faith. Sure, there were plenty of girls wrapped up in his cult's allure, but you managed to snag his attention in the blink of an eye.
Douma couldn't ignore the profound sadness radiating from you, and in that very instant, he made up his mind to do whatever it took to "fix you up."
Douma orchestrated a meeting with you. The mere thought that Douma-sama desired a face-to-face meeting left you feeling honored, and you found yourself in his private chambers.
As you spilled the beans about your marital woes, Douma lounged, chin rested on his palm, savoring the drama as you animatedly gestured. As you spilled the beans about your marriage troubles and an unfaithful husband, Douma leaned back, resting his chin on his palm, thoroughly entertained by your animated gestures as you waved your hands while speaking. Little did you know, you were unwittingly serving him the information he craved.
Douma graciously allowed you to stay in his temple, instructing maids to prepare a cozy chamber for your rest.
As the night unfolded, he disappeared into the shadows, fully aware of the task at hand.
Dealing with your husband turned into a delightful game for Douma. He relished every moment as he devoured the scoundrel alive. Despite the guy being less nutritious than you could ever be, Douma savored his macabre midnight snack.
Upon his return to his chamber that night, a tingling sensation ignited within his groin. The heat, as predictable as every quarter, began to surge. Douma already knew precisely how to indulge and alleviate himself.
The next day, he enveloped you in his presence, engaging in endless conversations, assisting you in selecting materials for a new dress he generously offered to procure. Douma threw himself into mundane human activities with an intensity he wasn't aware he had. But there was a good reason for him to act that way.
Your response was impeccable; you couldn't get enough of being close to him.
It only took him a few days to convince you to share your bed with him, though for him, each moment felt like an eternity. The relentless heat was becoming unbearable, and time seemed to crawl at an agonizing pace.
Douma strolled into your chamber, a sly amusement dancing in his rainbow eyes as he found you eagerly waiting, sprawled naked on your futon. Complaints were the last thing on his mind.
Going down on you sent a thrilling shudder through him. Your intoxicating juices proved irresistible, and he couldn't resist lapping on your folds, making the most obscene noises.
Douma quickly discerned that you were incredibly tight, almost pushing the limits of accommodating his impressive girth. However, a prolonged session of eating your tiny, delicious pussy out for nearly half an hour worked its magic, allowing his lengthy cock to snugly nestle within you, embraced by the welcoming grip of your spongy, slick walls.
Douma fell in love with a classic missionary and doggy style — he relished grabbing hold of the meat of your ass to pull you back onto his cock, playfully spanking your cheeks whenever you attempted to crawl away.
"I'll breed you thoroughly, my little lotus. By the end of the night, you'll be filled with my seed," he confidently assured you, intensifying his pace as he fervently took you from behind as you laid on your side, his cock spreading your entrance painfully.
He fucked you in a myriad of positions throughout the night, leaving you not only adorned with a tapestry of bruises but also drained to the extent that moving your limbs became an impossible endeavor.
For nearly four weeks straight, Douma fucked you every night, making no exceptions. He particularly reveled in the sessions during your period — your blood tasted heavenly, and he found himself intoxicated by your flavor even more.
After pumping you full of his semen one night, he revealed the truth — you were in the arms of a demon, one of the Twelve Kizuki, following the orders of Muzan-sama, the demon king.
Initially, fear gripped you, and you hesitated to accept his words. Yet, deep down, something convinced you he wasn't spinning a tale — his avoidance of daylight, heightened activity during the night, and abstention from human food spoke volumes.
"Douma-dono," you whispered, fingers delicately tracing the lines of his jaw. "I'm not afraid. I've fallen in love. You've given me the warmth and acceptance I've craved. If you wish to feed on me, consider it my repayment for all you've offered me these past weeks, my love."
He chuckled, his long index finger gently caressing your still-slick mound from your combined releases, his cum still slowly oozing from your abused entrance. "My little, silly lotus. I won't feed on you, you're too precious to me. You're going to stay by my side forever. I want you to become a demon, just like me. And if he agrees, you will. Perhaps one day, you'll grant me an heir. That's what I desire most."

I've been dreaming of the Loyalist of Clubs.
There are so many regrets born out of ignorance. So many bonds lost to time.
He wishes he could have done more then.
How does a moment last forever? How can a story never die?
Tumblr media
“Wh-What’s happening, Trey?”
The question comes from the boy huddled on the guest bed. He’s smallish and demure, like a rose bud yet to bloom. His eyes and cheeks are the same color as his hair—red, from crying.
Trey awkwardly peels himself away from the door. Even shut, shouting is audible from beyond it.
“HE KIDNAPPED MY SON!! Bring him back this instant, or I’ll call the authorities!”
“Ma’am, please calm down. They’re children—”
Trey pictures Mrs. Rosehearts as a balloon, bright red and inflated with hot air. The more she screams, the more air leaks put of her twisted mouth. She shrinks and shrinks until she poofs out of existence.
It doesn’t feel right to stand, so he sits on the bed beside his friend. The frame groans from their combined weights, light as they are.
“… I’m not sure,” Trey admits. “I saw you upset and grabbed your hand and ran. I didn’t want you to be stuck in that situation anymore.”
He pats a pillow. Attempts to comfort his friend.
“You can stay here.” Forever, if you want. But he doesn’t say that, only hopes it in his heart. The solution is so simple in his kid mind. “At least until your mom isn’t mad anymore.”
“Is that… allowed?”
“Sure it is. My parents won’t mind—er, probably. They like having new people over. We’ll pretend it’s a normal sleepover.”
“What’s that?”
“It’s when you sleep over at another person’s house—that’s where the name comes from. You stay up late, watch movies, play games, eat snacks, and then fall asleep together.”
Riddle’s eyes widen. “That sounds like breaking so many rules,” he says nervously.
“Those are the rules for sleepovers. The point is to have fun.”
“Fun…” Riddle nibbles on his lip, drawing his knees closer to his torso. He hugs his legs, collapsing into himself with a sniff. “I-I don’t know—I don’t like not knowing. I’m scared, Trey. Mama is so angry with me. I’m not supposed to…”
“It’s okay to not know. No one knows everything.”
“Mama does. Everyone says so. That’s why she’s always right.”
“That’s not true. I know she’s wrong about this—about us, and about Che’nya.” He grabs Riddle’s clammy hand and squeezes. “She can’t keep us three from being friends.”
“We are…?”
“Yup.” Trey pokes him, then points to himself, “We’re friends. And friends stick up for each other, watch each other’s backs.”
Riddle hesitates. “Is that… the rule?”
“You can think of it like that if you want. But I didn’t do any of this because of some rule, I did it because I wanted to help you somehow, any way I can."
"B-But we're just kids. What can we do?"
Trey worriedly glances at the door--the adults' voices haven't quieted at all--then at Riddle and the stress deeply etched into his round face. This isn't a good place for him right now either.
"We could... go over to Che'nya's. He and his grandpa will be happy to see us, and we can all have that sleepover.”
Riddle looks bewildered at the mere suggestion. "We're going to leave?"
"Shouldn't be too hard. We've already played hooky before," Trey says, tugging him up and off the bed by the arm. "Besides, a walk can help take your mind off of things."
We can be ourselves. We can forget our worries. Everything can be as it was.
Riddle’s eyes are wide with alarm. His knees wobble, and Trey catches him.
“It’ll be fine! I’ll be with you all the way—so if we get yelled at, we can be yelled at together. You won’t be alone.”
Not ever again.
Riddle responds in a shaky mew. His cheeks are wet from crying, and his words trembling—but his trust is firm. “O-Okay… I believe in you. Let’s go. Let’s go see Che’nya.”
Trey smiles reassuringly. “Alright, we’ll escape through the window. It’s a classic. You know how to do it safely by now, right?”
“Yes…!”
The two boys scramble to the bedroom window, undoing its latch and sliding it up. Trey leads the charge, easily clearing the sill. He looks back, urging Riddle to follow.
The threshold is daunting, less the boundary between inside and out and more like the bridge to a world unknown. When Riddle charges at the open window, he expects to smack into the wall. To fall, to fail.
The ground rumbles,
Splintering, fissures appearing.
“You got this!!” Trey cheers from the other side.
Riddle vaults too early and slips.
Panic shoots through him like a bolt of lightning.
Something erupts from out of the floor, racing under the boy to break his fall. Riddle lands on a thick, cushy stalk, leaves twisting around it. Above him, a giant head of petals--blue, bell-shaped, and ringing.
Bluebell.
Another flower sprouts by the boy's feet, bearing a crimson mouth--two lips, pulled back in a laugh. "Frolic, rejoice," says the Tulip. "Be free.”
“Free, free,” a patch of tiny, shrinking violets choruses.
“To dance around the posies and spin daisy chains and search for four leaf clovers.”
“We’ll lift you up when you’re down.”
Plants are poking out from every inch of the guest room, making their own quips and banter. Trey should be startled, but instead he laughs and waves for Riddle.
He waves back shyly, then gasps. His feet find something squishy yet solid under them.
Mushrooms with flat caps, a whole flight of them, in ascending height. The boy clumsily crosses them, each step sending up a cloud of fat, lazy spores. Riddle sneezes, nearly careening off the side—but a wall of snapping dragons or sly gloves in foxes closes in, surprisingly gentle as they support him.
He hops over the sill with ease.
And the flowers follow.
It’s a rainbow come alive, color sprawling over the roads and knitting rooftops with new lattice designs. Some designs dare to go higher and flashier: beanstalks that pierce the clouds, fruit clusters so heavy they bend and droop, petals dripping with jewels. Even the air is more jubilant, filled with shimmering particles--pollen?
Sunshine opens on Riddle’s face.
“Whaaaa~ So pretty!!”
“Isn’t it?” Trey’s grin is so wide his teeth ache. “We should hurry and get Che’nya so he can see this too.”
“It’s going to take so long to wade through all of this.”
“Fine by me." Trey grabs his friend's hand. It feels so small in his, and he thinks of a seed in need of water and light. "We can take our time to stop and smell the roses!”
His other hand reaches out and finds the stem of a large passing dandelion tuft. It forms an umbrella from its fuzzy white tendrils, the perfect shape for sailing on the wind.
Whoosh.
Trey and Riddle squeal as they're whisked off.
Up, up, and away, where their troubles can't chase them.

Wanna get into fighting games? Can't really afford 'em? No problem.
I've seen a recent increase in the genre's popularity on Tumblr thanks to Guilty Gear: Strive (namely Bridget's reveal), but I've seen folks show concern for the genre's cost. While Strive may be outside of folks price range, that doesn't mean there aren't free or cheap entry points to the genre. (Every game listed below is easy to run on low end PC's, so don't worry if you're playing on a potato. Just remember to use an ethernet cable for the best possible connection!)
Melty Blood: Actress Again Current Code (MBAACC) has a unique reputation for its underground scene and playerbase, as well as its dynamic roster of 31 characters (each with 3 distinct versions, producing an effective roster of 93 characters). It's fast paced and has a simple control scheme and plays fairly similarly to the latest entry in the series, Melty Blood: Type Lumina. The best part is that it's absolutely free with rollback netcode thanks to efforts of the fanbase in the making of community edition. It's also where Neco Arc was first made playable, so if you find posts about her amusing, you can play her for 15 minutes and then move onto a real character.
Tumblr media
If you're not as interested in something less "anime" and want to try old arcade classics, then I can't recommend Fightcade more. Arcade emulator that lets you play online with anyone in the world with a solid connection thanks to rollback netcode. Classics such as Street Fighter III: Third Strike, King of Fighters '98, Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire (Darkstalkers 3, in the US), and many, many more are all available. Hell, you can even play non fighting games such as Metal Slug on it, too! Of course, it's just an emulator, so you'll have to acquire roms yourself somehow, but that's a legally gray area. Fightcade does not give you any roms, so it's legal. Sure would be convenient if there was some sort of extension that automatically grabbed game roms for you the instant you joined a fightcade lobby, though.
Tumblr media
If you're willing to drop a few bucks, then Steam isn't devoid of any good deals. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R (colloquially known as +R) is often on sale for just $3, and is a beloved entry in the Gear franchise. It's the game where Strive favorites Bridget, Testament, and Anji were last playable in, and maintain their original toolkits and playstyles. Not only that, but the game has some absolutely fantastic rollback netcode now! While it may be daunting at first, you'll find that most characters simplest bread and butter combos are easy and consistent. Low floor, high ceiling type of game.
Tumblr media
Another game often available for cheap on Steam with great netcode is The King of Fighters 2002 UM. KOF is a very popular series in Latin America and East Asia, but never really exploded in the US. Recent series entry KOFXV has made an impact, and it plays like many previous entries. '02 UM has a large roster of fantastic characters to build a team around. Pick 3 of your favorites and jump right in!
Tumblr media
A game you may already have (and not even know you do) Is Skullgirls. The game's often dirt cheap during sales, and has been included in more Humble Bundle's than any other game in the genre. Flexible, easy to learn systems, combined with a lovable roster of distinct characters gives you one of the best indie games ever made (and, personally, the best American made fighting game). Plus, after nearly a decade, the game is getting new characters again! There's never been a better time to start playing Skullgirls.
Tumblr media
Ultimately, the best game to play to get into the genre is the game you want to play in the first place. If you want to get into Strive, there's no better game to play than Strive. Same with any Street Fighter, Skullgirls, Melty Blood, etc. Don't let the high level players scare you, there's always going to be fellow new bloods to play against. Check your game's wiki to find relative socials such as a community Discord, many of which have focused beginner tournaments and play nights to meet new people around your skill level. Don't be afraid to ask questions! You'll get answers and feedback from more experienced and friendly players.
Also, small note, use whatever controller you're most comfortable with. Keyboard and gamepad are perfectly fine. You don't need to buy a $200+ fightstick. While they can be fun, they're an investment often not worth making. Many of high level players such as SonicFox use a gamepad exclusively for every game they play. Go do you.

HII ITS ME AGAIN
so...
Bllk characters reacting to femdom reader in bed for the first time ever??
You can do any characters!! (Just add ness though bc im a ness lover 🤭)
IM NOT SURE IF YOU WILL DO THIS REQ but
Thank you sm and write well 💕
Tumblr media
(nsfw) FIRST TIME :: xfemdom!Reader
apologies this has taken me a while I'm really bad at generalized headcanons. That being said I kinda included sfw/nsfw ideas and just a general overall idea of their first times/the kind of subs they end up being so I hope you enjoy ♡ - requests open cw: fem!Reader, dom!Reader, BDSM themes/scenes, sexual themes, unedited word count: sloppy headcanons character(s): Alexis Ness, Isagi Yoichi, Ikki Niko, Nagi Seishiro, Kenyu Yukimiya, Rin Itoshi
DNI :: minors, blank blogs + m!Reader blogs
Tumblr media
CLOSETED PERV SUB :: unleash his hidden little kinks when you're in control
he's not saying no at the your forwardness in and out of the bedroom
in fact he's been trying to contain himself since the moment he found out your preference was to be in control
Ness plays it off as nonchalant sweetness when you purpose one idea after the other for things you could try in the bedroom
never telling you no to those ideas
he wants to try them all god pls have a kink list a mile long he's a glutton for it
spanking, bondage, pet play, watersports, temperature play, role playing, cock and ball torture, crossdressing, feminization, collaring - you name it he's thinking about it with you
literally the sky's the limit but you have to pry it out of him like a cute little game
utter unleashed slut the first time
cums too fast, begs for more, gets whiny and out of breath, pushes himself, pleads for you to overstimulate and use him
those obedient traits on the field magnified when his holes are stuffed
no he's not immune to the idea of being spit roasted by you and Kaiser (if you can tolerate the dick cheese man)
Ness is begging for more than your finger and fucking himself on your strap before the nights over
excellent sub, easily breakable and very obedient
Tumblr media
OVERLY EXCITED SUB :: eager to top as he is to bottom!
how as he never thought of it before?! of course he wants to serve you!
honest to god Isagi forgets top/bottom, sub/dom dynamics but he's cute and eager cut him some slack
if it feels good for either of you (especially you) then he's all for it
good bit of healthy questions for a novice but count it as foreplay bc the more you explain what fun you could have - he's already painting the inside of his pants with cum
no nerves and a stupid amount of trust
literal labrador retriever in the bedroom he's nearly bouncing on the bed the first time
understands the intimacy of prep work though and finds himself surprised how he wants more
worries too much about your pleasure and does need to be reminded that you enjoy it just as much as he does
falls in love with getting pegged and face sitting - it's a draw which one he likes more
bondage isn't much of a thrill he's too handsy and needy
becomes a fan of mommy domming when he's in a bad mood but for the most part likes classic domme/sub scenes
has straight up raved about your bedroom fun to Bachi and then been totally dumbfounded you might have wanted that private
super trainable sub, power bottom at heart but he listens, care about your pleasure more than his always
Tumblr media
SHY SUB :: he doesn't want you to know he's dying to be under you
mind games before you ever even get to the bedroom
doesn't want you to know how down bad he is for you but it shows real obviously
thinks he's a mystery but Niko is so easy to fluster and unravel like a schoolgirl with a crush
and offering to top him? turns him into an utter mess
not a dom bone in his body and it shows before the two of you ever make it to bed
whip things off his lip, squeeze his thighs, give his butt a good pat - turns him into an instant hot mess before you're even taking him to bed with you
nervous nervous nervous
take it slow and sensual his poor beating heart needs it or else he might die
cums like a cute little virgin and it shows ♡
body so sensitive that just sitting on top of him and grinding against him will send him over the moon
love love loves being face down so he can hide his blushing little face while you play with his ass
tease him and find out he's got a smidge of a humiliation kink to exploit along with the rest of his repressed little feelings
hidden voice kink you better uncover
shy with a dash of stubborn, over sensitive and a fun little toy to break
Tumblr media
SUB FROM DAY ONE :: no beating around the bush he loves to be taken care of
you want something done right then you better do it yourself
do not expect anything but sub behavior from this man
it's a good thing he has a horse cock bc that's the only thing this lazy idiots got going for him
if you didn't bring up domming him then rest assured Nagi already figured you were the one in control pretty much from day one
relinquishes his body to you from day one so you might as well have your fill and fun with it
good sub if you love pillow princesses
unabashed to do and try everything...as long as you bring it up
starts off not seeing why you'd find any fun in wanting to peg him when you can't feel anything in the silicone/toy of your choice
eats his words reeeeaaaal fast when a little vibration is thrown into the mix for fun
wants you to fuck him nightly after the first time
loves loves loves a vibrating toy with a little extra on your clit so you can cum while he's getting fucked
secret breeding kink waiting to be unlocked in this one
lazy horny bottom from day one, takes it like a champ, needs a bit of reminding but catches on pretty quick
Tumblr media
SELF CONCIOUS SUB :: fuck his overthinking thoughts right out of him!
he's worried about the way he'll look, the way he'll sound, what you'll think of him if he's riding you - solution? fuck the insecure out of him!
not opposed to bottoming (in fact half his search history is just that) but a little bit worried he can't fulfill your needs or wants
only solution is to show him what a good dom does with a self conscious sub
beside himself with all of it, pretty pretty boy done up all pretty for you to unwrap and play with
will deny how much he likes being the center of your attention but it shows
finds his weak spot is in edging almost too easy
can't think about too much when you're dying to come at the hands of your domme all the time
fucks a strap as good as he is handsome - even if he doesn't initially believe you
subbing gives him a big confidence boost when you lavish him in praise and worship his body
selfish subby boy but who can tell him no he deserves a dotting dom that pushes him to the limits
secretly greedy sub, pillow princess if you let him, a total cock slut by the end of it
Tumblr media
CLINGY SUB :: tamable monster
needy, stubborn, defiant - all encased in the prettiest glass house you've ever seen with this man
if your willing to put in the work then you'll end of with a sub well worth the effort
initial mention of dynamics at all are a solid no but...give him about a day to think about what you said and suddenly Rin's not so sure he hasn't thought about being bottom before
spoiler he has thought about it, idiot just cannot convey words even if he held a dictionary in his hands
he's nervous but doesn't know how to tell you so be kind and slow to him, show him a good time with heaps of body worship and praise
Rin's hooked after the first time - turns into a clingy sub looking for praise and your attention all aspects of the day
if he ever finds out about mommy doms be prepared to indulge in that kink often
attentive and greedy for his own pleasure as much as your own
straddles the line of selfish and power bottom extremely well - blurring the lines even for a seasoned dom
more emotional labor goes into it than physical because that well toned striker body can twist and bend into only any position you want to fuck him stupid on a strap
dom/sub dynamics extend past the bedroom with this one so expect to take on a more forward role in the relationship too - one a little brother always a little brother
attention seeking monster, validate his feelings and you'll have an obedient cock hungry slut at your beck and call

I don’t know if I’m just susceptible to a woman singing in the middle of a video game where I don’t expect it, but it does speak to the emotion of certain moments in video game history that they can only be communicated with song. The ladder scene in Metal Gear Solid 3 is so powerful because the music takes advantage of the long, mechanics-light section to remind both you and the player character of the stakes of your mission and the personal connections that complicate it. The quality of music thus far in that game had already been tremendous too, priming the player to have an almost pavlovian response to the game’s instantly iconic theme. How, then, did Bastion manage to concoct a moment that rivals the snake eater ladder with a song the player had never heard before, making both game and theme into instant classics right at the transition between acts?
In preparation for the full release of Hades 2 I have begun work on my full video retrospective on the whole Supergiant Games library, starting with 2011's Bastion! Check it out on my patreon for as low as a dollar a month!

spill you guts. {actress!reader x jack harlow}
SUMMARY: reader and jack have been dating on the low for some time but have been very good at keeping it a secret. there’s been a few twitter rumours here and there or a deuxmoi sighting (always in a bigger group of people) but nothing too major. reader is an actress and goes on the late late show with james corden to promote her new movie. they play a game of ‘spill your guts or fill your guts’. {1.2K words}
A/N: i am very aware that in the world of hollywood and pr, this scenario would never take place this way but humor me <3
A/N #2: i despise the use of “y/n” so you won’t find any of that here.
CONTENT WARNING: mentions of gagging (due to disgusting food?) - i can’t think of anything else. let me know if there’s anything else i should add.
DISCLAIMER: this is all pure fiction. obviously.
"Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. We're here with a variety of mouthwatering delicacies-" You eye the table in front of you with a mixture of disbelief and disgust, lowering your head cursing yourself for agreeing to this. The regret was instant the moment James started naming all the 'treats' the production had put together for this segment. "Now, this is a special version of our classic game. Normally, we would take turns asking each other a question at a time and either answer said question or sample one of these exotic treats. This year, being our last year on the show, we've changed things up a bit. We will be asking each other questions but-" You chuckle nervously, "-this time, we can choose not to answer the first question and go for a second one, which we have to answer or we will have to take not one but TWO bites of the chosen dish." He explains and your eyes look at all the options. Just the names of some of these things make you gag. "How are you feeling dear? You look a bit sick already." James asks turning to you and chuckling softly.
"I'm regretting life choices, to be honest." You admit. “Where do you even find all this stuff?!”
"Well, you could just be brutally honest... " James retorts and you laugh knowing that none of his questions will be easy to answer. You were familiar with this segment of the show and it was highly entertaining for this exact reason. "I'll go first." says James. "I'm going to start by offering you a delicious century-egg smoothie."
There are two tall glasses in front of you filled with a suspicious looking green-ish substance. You catch yourself leaning back in your chair as if that would help you avoid the rancid smell.
"Oh God, the smell-..."
"I know." James agrees with a chuckle. “Oh, and by the way neither one of us has seen these questions before, right?” You nod and James picks up the first card, reads the question to himself and gasps giving you a mischievous smirk.
"Oh no- That’s not a good sign." You whine and bring your hands to your head genuinely scared of what's to come. Your heartbeat is already picking up.
James regains his composure and looks straight at you with a serious expression.
"This is a photo of you arriving at LAX earlier this morning, correct?"
You look at the monitor and sure enough it is a picture of you walking out of the terminal dragging your suitcase behind you offering a tight-lipped smile at the camera. You had taken a couple of pictures with fans and then got into the car that was waiting for you. "Yes..." You offer as a response, suspicious of where this is going.
"Look at you smiling- Jeans, t-shirt, ah, is that vintage Tommy Hilfiger suitcase?", he asks in a rapid fire as if distracted and you nod, "-handbag- and what is that? Is it a scrunchie? Where did you get that thing? It's huge."
It was rather big though you couldn't understand why it was worth noting. Big and puffy in a baby blue hue. "Yeah, yeah, it is. It needs to be to tame all this." You giggle pointing at your hair. "My best friend makes them."
"Well, you look great."
"Thank you. That's good to hear after an 8-hour flight. " You say again and let out a nervous chuckle. Dissecting a pap shot from the airport is not what you expected.
"Now... This is a photo that went up on Instagram about an hour ago around the time we started filming tonight's episode... "
You turn to the monitor again and this time you are confronted with a mirror selfie of Jack throwing up the 'L' like he often does. Looking handsome (like he always does). The crowd cheers and hollers but you're confused. You're certain the surprise is evident in your face and you are a little flustered and taken aback but this is still salvageable. You can play it off as having a crush on the guy. Then the rest of the image registers... You recognize the bedroom in the place you two would be sharing while in LA and notice the reflection in the mirror.
"Jack Harlow-" More cheers from the audience. "-handsome guy? Great artist?"
At this point, you're smiling nervously, heartbeat going through the roof as you raise your shoulders feigning disinterest, in what could only be considered the worst bit of acting you had ever put forth. "He's alright." You say barely keeping it together.
"If I could direct your attention to the background of this picture-" He is ruthless, you think. The picture zooms in and you bury your face in your hands. "I swear I've seen this suitcase somewhere before, AND-" The picture is blurry of course, being pulled from Instagram, but the objects are distinctive enough to put several nails in the coffin of your relationship's secrecy.
"Oh God!"
"-that looks like a big big baby blue scrunchie on that nightstand."
James is cackling and you're a blushing giggling mess, tears forming at the edges of your eyes. Nerves are getting the best of you and you can hardly control your chuckles. The audience is laughing along with you two as James looks at you with bright eyes and you realise he is still to ask you the question.
You grab a napkin and tap the corners of your eyes to capture the moisture there.
"My question is..." He starts with a cheeky grin pausing for several moments, the audience creating an impromptu drumroll, "Are you flying first class?" The audience, James and you start laughing once again.
"Oh my God!" You exclaim taking a deep breath. "Oh my God!"
James puts his hands up feigning innocence and making a notion towards the glass, "You could always have a sip of the smoothie."
Can you, though?! It isn't even the fact that the content of the glass was the most disgusting thing that gives you pause. You can't confirm your relationship with Jack on air like that, that was for sure. But you also would be kind of confirming it if you refused to answer.  Your brain is going on overdrive. Maybe you can get the production to pull this part of the segment or reshoot it? Can you have everyone in the audience sign an NDA over this? Have they signed one already?
Buying yourself some time you pretend to consider drinking the smoothie, you take the glass in your hand and you lean in to take a whiff. Immediately you regret it covering your mouth trying to keep yourself from gagging for real.
"This is nasty! Can you die from this? I bet you can!" You say with a chuckle and then proceed to put the glass back on the table. "Nope, nope..." You exhale and brace yourself, "I'll just take the second question."
Give me anything else. I’ll trash talk my ex, my ex’s ex, my costars, anything...
“Are you really-?” He asks in disbelief.
“Yup.”
“Okay, then.” James tosses the card he has been holding behind him and you almost sigh in relief. Good riddance... If only you could burn it. He grabs a second card from the pile to his right and looks it over. He takes several moments to read it putting you on edge fearing what other topic may come up. Without any warning, “There’s nothing on here.” He throws the second card away too, places his hands on the table and stares at you. 
"There is only one question. Are you dating Jack Harlow!?"
The studio erupts in cheers, laughter, applause and you simply reach for your 1,000-year-old egg smoothie...

Foxy Coltrane x Fem!Reader || Excerpts
Tumblr media
Plot: A few (5) of your many 💋kisses💋 with Foxy Coltrane. They aren't really in any particular order.
'I just wanted to know what it would be like.' - Gilmore Girls
Warnings: Sexual references + kissing gifs. Reader is pretty obsessed. Unedited.
***the 'fem' part in the title can be taken with a grain of salt. I only put it because the gifs are all hetero. If that doesn't bother you, theirs actually no mention that the reader is feminine in the writing.
1; The first time.
Tumblr media
Your lips touch his, your hands sliding up a moth eaten american flag shirt and the warm chest under it and they reach his shoulders, and its absolutely everything you thought it would be. He grins against your mouth like he just won a bet and strong arms wrap around you; holding you still. Literally caging you in.
If you hadn't already committed to this madness, then you probably would have the good sense to be afraid of that. But you wanted this. You thought about it, you considered the pros and the cons, the feel of his lips on yours vs the feel of his fingers in your guts, and the desire to kiss him won by a landslide.
You must be crazy.
Foxy kisses just like how you would imagine a 55-year-old borderline feral classic to kiss- all encompassing, that beard rubbing your face in an oddly pleasant way and his big hands grabbing your hips just like they belong there. Like you're his. He takes his time kissing you, his mouth moving carefully on yours, just enjoying it; a hot piece of ass like you just walkin' up and kissing him out of nowhere. He's definitely game for shit like that.
When you have to breathe and separate just for air, he tries to follow you for half a second, but settles for giving you a mischievous, almost smug grin and dropping his forehead against yours. "... well hi." He drawls, his voice a slow crawl that makes you feel things. Terrible, dangerous things.
Breathless and eyes glazed over with want. Everything about the older man is perfect to you- how can he be so handsome?? How can he be so hot? And interesting? And the fact that he's considerably saner then his brother and sister is definitely a bonus for you. "I just wanted to know... what it would be like."
"Oh? Making out with an old guy?" Foxy teases. "Kinky little bitch, huh?"
"Making out with you." You admit boldly, your hands still on his shoulders and watch his face transform into a wicked grin.
"'s that so?... " He looks thoughtful and impressed and intrigued by you, his eyes soft but daunting at the same time. "You sure about that? Kinda dangerous, dontcha think?... "
Definitely. "I think it was worth it."
"You wanna get outta here?"
2; When he comes back after a trip away from you.
Tumblr media
"Fox!" As soon as you saw him laid back half-slumped in the cushions on your couch, his knees spread wide manspreading like an ass, and an old black-and-white on your tv, and that slow smirk on his handsome face after he was gone for 2 months, your mood is completely lifted. You had the l o n g e s t day at work and you were ready to absolutely collapse but the effect he has on you is an instant recharge. A slow grin spreads across your face as you close the door behind you. You've missed him so bad-
"Hey there sweetheart. Been a while this time. My bad." The way his eyes flicker down your body and back up to your face again, the happy-to-see-you grin on his handsome rugged face, lights you up inside even brighter. He came here to see you!! He's happy to see you!! "C'mere."
You don't hesitate a second before crossing the room and settling in his lap, connecting your lips in a searing kiss full of all the want you've had to compartmentalise and put away all the time that he was not here. He barely moves, seeming lazy as he just lifts his chin to kiss you back. He doesn't need to move; you're in control (at least he lets you believe you are, 'cuz he likes you) and you're already nice and close in his lap, your knees digging into the couch cushions on either side of his camo-clad hips.
You went from negative one hundred to positive two hundred so fast you're already clenching around nothing, and so when he puts his hands on your hips (His big, dangerous, experienced wolfman hands) and encourages you to grind down on his hard bulge - which must have already been hard before you walked in, - you're happy to oblige. The kiss has to stop, at that- an inconceivable sigh of relief choking you at the feeling you missed; your head pressing into his shoulder as your hips slowly move against him.
"There, there, baby... I'm back... "
3; When Otis is looking at you a certain kind of way.
Tumblr media
You hate Otis' attention. You hate being around Otis- he nearly killed you when you first met the Fireflies, after all, and it was only Baby who kept you alive cuz you were a good playmate (now of course you're Foxy's playmate, instead though. Funny how things change). But even now he sometimes looks at you, and you can tell he still wants to kill you after all this time. Pull you apart and make something new out of your pieces. Otis hasn't become attached to you in the slightest- he never would. In his head you will always be prey.
The whole time Otis has been sticking near to you tonight and picking on you Foxy has been behind you, telling him to back the hell off you whenever he goes too far, or just glaring. Otis knows what he's doing, knows he shouldn't be messing with you (You're Foxy's), but of course he doesn't care.
When Otis crosses the line with Fox (Finally. He crossed the line as far as you're concerned 3 seconds in), referring to you as 'meat, you're sure Foxy's going to pick up your hand and take you both out of there. Leave. Go somewhere where it can be just the two of you.
You're shocked when he sits down in a chair and guides in between his legs, one hand on your waist drawing you in for a deep kiss thats would be completely indecent in any other social group but the Fireflies. A surprised noise slips out of you but after he uses the opening to slip his tongue into your mouth, you get quiet; obediently kissing him back. Needily kissing him back. You're absolutely all his and you can never ever help it when he kisses you. He kisses you, and its all over. Any restraint you had, any nervousness or fear (Of him, of Otis, of your own psychotic desires for this evil man) disappear and all you have is a want for the warm familiar feel of him under your skin.
He knows it.
He knows as soon as he does this to you you wont be scared, anymore. You'll forget all about Otis. And Otis'll lose all interest.
And just like that, with Foxy's tongue deep in your mouth and his hand on your waist squeezing the fat there gently and making you crazy, Otis rolls his eyes and gets up. You don't even notice him leave, your fingers losing themselves in your Foxes hair just like the rest of you is lost in him.
Foxy cracks his eyes open, still kissing you, to watch him walk off. Too fucken easy.
4. Slow kisses when you're alone and you have plenty of time.
Tumblr media
Sometimes the stars and the planets all align and your free wolfman stays. Foxy gets that still energy about him- like he's not going anywhere this time, at least for now, like here with you is exactly where he most wants to be in the world- and thats saying something because Foxy can go anywhere he wants to. Have whatever he wants. do whatever he wants. At least thats what you think.
At least he can get whatever he wants, from you.
During these times where he's still, not going away, you hope to be alone. No Fireflies, no Spaulding, no scary Otis.
Because- g o d.
When you are alone-
Theirs something oddly romantic about him, something from those old movies he likes in the way he touches you. His lips on yours are soft, teasing, setting your nerves on fire and making you moan. He'll sit on the couch for hours with you just tasting your lips, and your tongue, and your cheeks and jaw and neck and anywhere else he can reach. And when you get up to eat, or shower, or go to the bathroom, its not long before the possessive-obsessive wolfman comes up behind you and starts all over again.
He presses your front against a wall and lathers your neck and shoulders in those maddening gentle kisses, he feels up your spine with the tips of his dirty fingernails while you're cooking something on the stove and then sucks the darkest hickey you've ever seen into the crook of your neck (It'll be so sensitive to the touch after. He'll leave the same ones in all sorts of other places on you, too), he'll kiss you deep until you get lightheaded from the sheer lack of air.
He makes you even more addicted to him. Makes it even worse when he inevitably leaves again.
But... while it lasts....
5. The kiss in the middle of a fight.
Tumblr media
Its honestly the hardest thing in the world for you to be mad at this man- because he could hurt you. But also because you love him. And also because he refuses to listen!!
"You are the most frustrating- are you hearing me??"
He looks up from a machete set across his knees, which he was picking blood clots off of with his bare fingernails, and raises his brows. "... huh?"
"Ughhhhh!" You just got finished telling him what was bothering you, and he was off in la la land!! Frustration washes through you like a tidal waive and you don't know what to do with yourself. He does this every time!! You're pretty sure he does it on purpose! Unsure what to do with yourself, you whip around and storm off- ignoring his 'wait, hold on, wait, wait!- '.
When suddenly his hand wraps around your wrist like a vice and whips you back around to him you end up slamming right against his chest. You try to back up and storm away again but his other hand comes down on your arm and holds you still. "Hold on, there. What's the problem, sweetcheeks?"
"Whats the pr-!? " Ohhhhh. "Let me go, I'm leaving!"
"Come on, clue me in."
"I did! You weren't listening!"
"Alright, shit, well I didn't think it was something important. Fuck me. Alright, siddown, my ears are wideee open."
"No!"
"I'm not givin' you a choice."
Instead of arguing with that you just start struggling against him again, and he watches half-annoyed at your little attempts; wriggling your wrist in his grip and trying to yank your other arm away from him- you budge him but he doesn't let go. "Fuck- "
Eventually his annoyance turns into amusement, watching you wriggle like a worm on a hook. "Goddamnit, you're cute." A slow smirk spreads across his face looking down at you. "Makes me wanna do stuff to ya. Stuff ya like. Too bad you're so upset... woulda been a fun couple hours."
Thats, admittedly, makes you falter. Even give up. Fuck. Breathless, you stop your fighting and look up at him with big frustrated bambi eyes. "... what?"
"You heard me."
"I'm mad at you." He cant do this to you!! This isn't fair! He's an ass, and he deserves to be mad at for a while.
"I know, I know." The grin on his face spreads as he steps in closer to your body, now that you're not actively trying to get away from him anymore; he knows he's got you. You can feel his warmth against your skin through layers of clothes. "... but come on, that'll just make it more fun, right?"
"... " You part your lips to respond, agree with him or deny him some more even though you know you want to give in, when you realise his grip on you loosened. Your heartbeat immediately picks up and thank god he doesn't realise it because a moment later you're gone from his grip and storming off again.
This time you make it a mere 2 feet before he catches you again and drags you back right against him this time; smothering your laughter and his amused grin at your cheek with his mouth.
The kiss immediately destroys any last resolve you had for yourself and you ring your arms up around his neck; slipping your tongue into his mouth.

November 2023: AO3 Wrapped 🎁
A monthly roundup of *some* of my favorite fics of the year.
January | February | March | April, May, June | July | August | September | October | November | December
AITA for being "obsessed" with my childhood nemesis? by @rainstormradish (M, 4K)
I [24M] attended a small boarding school in the UK. There was a boy in my year, a couple of months younger than me, and he became my nemesis after we developed an intense rivalry. My friend [25F] told me recently that our dynamic was "weird back then" and that "it’s even weirder" that I still think about him today. She argued that I talk about him all the time, but I believe the amount I talk about him is reasonable. AITA?
What can I say that hasn’t been said? This is so brilliant and perfect. Another fic this year that does something so clever with its medium and still manages to not distract from its brilliant storytelling and character-driven heart.
Half Sick of Shadows by @starquestingfordrarry (E, 39K)
Harry and Draco have been sleeping together for months, and it's fine. It's enough for Harry. But when things finally start to feel like the more Harry's been hoping for, a strange tapestry project has him worrying he won't ever get the chance.
I have so many wonderful things to say about this, I was truly moved by the story and the writing absolutely destroyed me. This one already has such a special place in my heart. It’s also worth noting that my original caption was: “Draco is so hot 🥵”.
In the lining of your skin by @maesterchill (E, 9K)
Draco has wanted Harry Potter for as long as he can remember. After he’s attacked and turned by a werewolf he’s placed in a halfway house while he undergoes rehabilitation and training. The fact that the house in question belongs to the object of his desire has all of Draco’s wants rushing to the surface. And it’s almost full moon, so his self-control is stretched paper thin.
*My* self-control was stretched paper thin by this, good god.
I've Got a Beautiful Feeling (Everything's Going My Way) by toomuchplor (E, 3500)
“I’ve got such a boner,” Harry says, voice scratchy, just slitting his eyes open now, turning his head on his pillow to face Draco. “Oh, lovely, good morning to you, too,” Draco says.
Sweet lovely perfection.
the earth from a distance by @andthepeople (E, 15K)
“Well,” Harry said gamely, once they’d managed to find the Leaky Cauldron – still under construction but mercifully open for business – and he’d turned up a few knuts from his pockets, enough to get them a room for the night, “it could be worse.” “Really,” Malfoy drawled. “We’re stuck in the 16th century, with no idea how we got here or how we might go about getting back – pray tell, Potter, how could this situation possibly be worse?”
Instant classic, incredibly fun to read.
The Pile by @b-vul (Not rated)
Why is Harry collecting sticks? Harry doesn’t know.
I lost my MIND over this. Brilliant original absurd in the best way.
What a Fucking Git by @lqtraintracks (E, 2K)
For all anybody else knows, Quidditch stars Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy still hate each other....
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I mean. Scorching dialogue, incredible sex, what a fic.

Hi 💖 so last weekend I went on a trip to Germany with my beautiful mutuals and my gf and OBVIOUSLY we had to check if they had any energy drinks we hadn't tried yet. They had SO MANY. Brands we had never heard of before! Disgusting flavours! Beautiful packagings! For a couple of days, we had it all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here is us trying to fit everything in our bags. So I'll be doing these rapid fire because I have so many of them. Here are the first 6:
Tumblr media
Booster Original Energy Drink XXL: A beautiful proposition. The packaging immediately caught my eye, it looks like a can of washing powder, it looks like Vanish Oxi Action, it looks like detergent. I love it! The taste is nothing surprising but a very nice take on the classic energy drink favour. The price-performance ratio is great, this was 79cents!! Germany!!! 4/5 stars, would definitely buy again if it was readily available. A staple.
Tumblr media
Gönrgy Blueberry Coconut: First of all the name sucks. Right under the name it says "G stands for Gönnen" which is?? If you have to literally spell out what the name of your brand refers to, it sounds like you aren't off to a great start?? It also sounds stupid. The packaging looks like they were going for something different, trying to reach a new audience, but this just is not swag. Yeah the colour is nice, but it doesn't make up for the fact that the flavour is terrible, blueberry does NOT pair well with coconut, and the both of them obviously pair terribly with the energy drink flavour. The whole thing tasted like soap, the blueberry was barely there, and this was a very rare DNF for us. 0/5 stars, an epic fail.
Tumblr media
Flying Power X-Treme Watermelon: nothing to write home about. It wasn't bad, but didn't taste of watermelon at all, and considering Monster and Rockstar both already offer decent watermelon flavours, you can't just stand there and offer nothing new to the game. The ingredients revealed it was mostly concentrated apple flavoured, which explains a lot. 2.5/5 stars, already forgot about it.
Tumblr media
dm's Sportness BCAA Drink: a scam. I mean it was good, and tasted like lime lemonade, but it really looked like an actual energy drink but it actually didn't contain any taurine 😭 I feel betrayed. It still gave us plenty of B6 and Niacin, which is always nice. 3/5 stars, thanks for trying.
(you will notice a Flying Power Zero in the background, I won't review it because after trying it we're suspecting it to be the exact same recipe as the Golden Force but with another name and packaging 🙄)
Tumblr media
Black Cat Energy Drink: An absolute slay. First of all I love when they have to find new alpha male animals to use for new brands since bull, tiger, rhino, gorilla, dragon and scorpio are already taken. This drink is the absolute winner of our German selection so far. No stupid novelty flavour, no crazy over the top carbonation experiences, just a beautiful energy drink flavour, perfectly executed. Perfect sweet to sour ratio, perfect carbonation, beautiful can. This drink has what every energy drink wants. It's an instant classic for me. It's got a ridiculous amount of B12, B6, B5 and Niacin, it's got a black cat on it, it's sexy, it's a winner's drink. To me, it's up there with the Rockstar Energy Original. If I was German, this would be my daily routine. 5/5 stars, a true alpha male drink for the whole family.
And that's it for now! 💪💯🚀 the grind never stops!

Some thoughts on this week’s TM ep (15x5), which started as a reply to someone else’s post but I sorta got carried away:
This was a great episode for Ivo, who I already have a strong bias for. (To clarify, great in terms of comedy, definitely not points wise.) There was no reason for him to do the weird voice along with Frankie but I’m glad he did. That task would be pretty fun on its own, but having them do the high-pitched voice just sent it over the edge. The drama when Frankie, sounding like Mickey Mouse, urged Ivo to rush into the lab!
Ivo’s fakery task was an instant classic attempt. That whole task was genius, and reminded me of how much I love the simplicity of the NZ and AU tasks. Open-ended tasks like these show off how each comedian’s brain works and you’re guaranteed to get different results with every attempt, whether it’s Kiell making a shitty version of his hand, or Mae using a seance to drop the fact they still keep in touch with Alex’s wife. I almost forgot Frankie’s mostly nude attempt, where Greg dropped a line that would be extremely confusing out of context, “your body is so much more shocking than your suicide could ever be.”
And people aren’t talking about the edit doing Kiell dirty during the instruments task, it had the same energy as Nish and the basketball. That task was also great, and it reminded me of those memorization games that would always frustrate me as a kid.
And about the live task: I normally don’t give af about points, even Morgana’s bonus point that basically handed her the series didn’t bother me. But giving *ten* points to the winning team was excessive even for TM standards. But this is the show where basically nothing matters and it’s all meant for light entertainment, so maybe there’s more pressing things to worry about honestly.
And above all else, I can’t stop thinking about this screenshot of Alex. His entire world changed in an instant.

New “budget” Commander cards: Lord of the Rings: Red
You know these by now, we'll go color by color, mixing main set and commander set. Reprints can be included if they brought the price down under our bar. All the cards presented here are under $2 at time of writing. Cards will be evaluated as part of the 99, even legendary creatures.
Tumblr media
Guttersnipe is a pretty great card for spellslinger decks, making the table's life totals melt very, very fast. This is a second Guttersnipe that's more resilient because it's one of the hardest types to remove instead of the easiest one. Also the ring tempts you. If you're running Guttersnipe, this is basically an auto-include in addition to it.
Tumblr media
We have infinite versions of this card and effect. This is a worse Firebrand Archer. Decks that want to ping as much as possible all the time might still want another copy.
Tumblr media
This is a sweet card. Insurrection is a pretty boring but effective way to end a game, but getting one that's much less game-ending on five is sweet. You only take one opponent's creatures and you're not killing the entire table... Though you'll have to make sure the newfound "ally" you just volunteered into helping you can't turn around and murder you after you cleaned the rest of the table with their board, which is very real and will happen, particularly if the players you kill spite you by not blocking the stolen creatures to kill them.
So the optimal line most of the time will be calling someone else for aid and making them do all the work with their creatures while your own stand back twiddling their thumbs to be ready to block once they turn on you. This reminds me of so many school group projects.
Tumblr media
This is the best Krenko's Command or Dragon Fodder ever printed, making hasty tokens (and sharing the haste with other humans). As long as the goblin creature type doesn't matter for your deck, if you're playing any of those two you'll want to replace it with this one, it's a simple upgrade, or likely run all three. Balmor, Zada,... Many homes for this enabler.
Tumblr media
For one more mana on a Fork, you get to copy an entire stack at once. You don't even have to control the spell, so this can do silly stuff. With that said, it's probably more of a fun card than an optimal card, storm decks will prefer going with a Bonus Round early and there isn't that often that many instants and sorceries on the stack. It will create some awesome moments and stories around the commander table though, and that's the important part, I'd play this over a Fork even if the one extra mana is huge on that kind of spell, just for the stories.
Tumblr media
This is a Starter Kit card, and it's not all that spicy or efficient at anything. With that said, being a mana sink that generates card draw is pretty great on the back of a subpar removal. If you can generate lots of (or infinite) mana and don't always know what to do with it, including this as a bad removal will randomly help you at points in ways a more efficient or classic removal wouldn't.
Tumblr media
Generating two Treasures every turn is pretty good for a 3-drop if you can get it consistently, and double strike is powerful in general if you have buffs around. With that said, Gimli will need a way to be buffed, either through his own ability with other legendary creatures or through equipments or auras, and he'd also really like some evasion. Ultimately, the payoff ain't that great, so I wouldn't warp my deck to play him, but if there's already the pieces for it, he's gonna do work.
Tumblr media
Just like Gimli, doubling up on value combat triggers for cheap with double strike, by itself it'll have a hard time getting in, though this one instead of bringing a way to buff itself, it extends the effect to all your Goblins, which makes it a pretty great option for typal Goblin decks, and certainly a tutor option for Matrons and Harbingers. If you're playing goblins, you have one you can cut for this, surely. If you're not playing goblins, consider it like Gimli, if you already have ways to buff it or make it evasive.
Tumblr media
Fervor sees play in 30,000 decks according to EDHRec. This is a strictly better Fervor. All commander decks have at least one legend. Haste is good. This is a good card.
Tumblr media
If you got enough artifacts or legends to trigger this every turn, it'll be... Alright. A treasure per turn isn't a ton, and you're unlikely to be able to cast them during opposing turns in red, but it's playable. The ability to Goad at instant speed for free is pretty great though, it makes him able to redirect surprise voltron or combo-y attacks.

Oooh!
Tumblr media
Hooray.... grey........
Tumblr media
Huuaaah.
Okay, so. Since I noticed myself slipping into the 90s during the day, when I got home from work I decided to just focus on getting in another rank-up before my bonus is gone and forced myself to NOT look at or stress over the ranking until I finished. Currently, I am....
Tumblr media
....65th!?
Tumblr media
I guess it's safe to say I made it. I'm in the top 100.
Wow.
WOW!
Goddamn.
It seemed so impossible after the March event, but I did learn a lot from that experience. So, now that the event is almost over (actually it will be over when by the time this is posted) I'll share about my strategy. (And other thoughts.)
In the March promise event, I thought that as long as I had a lot of promise tickets I would be fine and tried to grind them down using instant promises towards the end of the event. (At this time, I was used to one good day of grinding being enough on SIF events.) But, I could never catch up to where I wanted to be and quickly realized it was too little too late.
So, I knew this time I had to start early and play consistently. I also decided to do mostly normal promises instead of instant, so I could get the most iine possible out of my tickets. In the meantime, I joined other people's promises while waiting for my own to fill so I could get some free iine on the side.
And this did work noticeably better. But I still wasn't able to crack the top 100.
And that was when I finally caved and did the thing. I put on the classic, the Laala Welcome SCR, and warmed up my fingers for some OPEN DREAM LAND.
So, up until this point I had actually been thinking that promises in the Welcome SCR wouldn't fill because everyone else would be sick of it by now too. But I was wrong.
SO WRONG.
Sometimes my promises filled so quickly that by the time the promise menu screen loaded, it was literally ALREADY FULL. So, as long as I was using the Welcome SCR it was basically the same as doing instant except for full points.
So, at this time I stopped joining other people's promises for the most part, and was largely doing my own regular promises in the Welcome SCR. And this was when I really started getting somewhere.
Unfortunately, this was also when I also started buying promise tickets. For the record, I do think it would have been possible to hit top 100 just using the promise tickets you have and joining other people's promises when you get more. But, only for those who don't have a full-time job and can play full-time Idol Land PriPara. I do have a full-time job, from which I gain money, which can be used to exchange for promise tickets haha ha....
Also I had a 65% bonus from the gatcha. A-Anyway....
During the last few days when I was cruising through the ranking, I was briefly lured into the false sense of... we did it. Maybe we really did it. We saved Idol Land!? How could the game be dying when my promises are filling SO FAST!?
Until of course, I logged into Lucky's account and played one promise to find out that... there are... less than 10,000 active players..... that's half... the number there was... two months ago.............
I was pretty crushed.
I mean, I should have known better but... yeah.
It's been something I've been thinking about all day. About how the game still feels so active despite this?
And I realized hey, wait. What if Idol Land was designed to run better with a smaller player base? I mean, less promises on the board means promises are more visible, which means promises fill faster? Could be.
After all, a lot of the problems we had during Idol Land's launch resulted from them not properly gauging how high initial demand was.
The game is running much better now, and the fans that are left are pretty ride or die at this point I think.
But is that enough.
...............................pro...bab....ly not............
Well, we'll see. If not tomorrow or next week, we'll find out something about the longevity of the game when the Season Select tab updates.
Ah well, no regrets. Idol Land has meant a lot to me, and I really wanted to show them through this event. Even if it was technically all for nothing, I don't feel like it was, strangely.
Well... There's more to say, but I'll pick up on this train of thought when EOS is actually announced officially.
Goodnight all! See you on the other side of the maintenance.

zuko casually watching a pro bending match bolin happens to be in
The roars of the crowd that had regularly gathered from all walks of life within the Jewel of Yue bay, the Pro-bending Arena, echoed and intensified under its glass roof as the excitement of the upcoming match buzzed through the air.
A small bit of crackle brought the PA system of the venue to life before the familiar voice of the city's most well known radio personality Shiro Shinobi took to the mic in the commentator's booth.
"Goooooooood evening, pro-bending fans! We're comin' at you live from Republic City's beautiful Pro-bending Arena right on the edge of Yue Bay! The crowd's going wild from anticipation and, boy, do we got a line up for you folks tonight!" Shiro continued to build the excitement as he listed off the names of the teams they had lined up for tonight's games, giving each of them fun alliteration-filled introductions before continuing. "How are we feeling about tonight's match-ups, folks?" He pulled back from the mic to capture the sound of the audience cheering and whooping for their favorites.
"Again, first up will be the fearless Fire Ferrets, who have been blazing through their opponents despite it being their debut season, going up against the long-time lean, mean Laogai Lion Vultures — while it's not their first rodeo, they're always ready to rally and romp round by round. Another classic case of old-timers versus new-timers as these two teams go head-to-head as our opening match of the night!"
Shiro paused as he scanned the crowd and his face lit up as he spotted a familiar face. "And what a night we've got here, folks! For instance, if my old eyes aren't deceiving me, we've got the Fire Nation's very own Looooooord Zukoooooo here in one of our viewing boxes! Hope our matches will be hot enough for you! If anything, they'll definitely be as hot as our sponser's Flame-o Instant Noodles —" Shiro continued on as he read copy for the conveniently transitioned-into ad before resuming other announcements before the games started.
In the locker room, Bolin was already suited up, sans his helmet, as he was rolling his head to stretch his neck muscles before the game before moving onto some lunges to hit those hamstrings and hip flexors (and it made his butt look good for his fans).
The sound of Shiro's voice was easy to drown out as one got used to hearing it after three years of living in the Pro-bending area. However, he paused in mid-squat as Lord Zuko's name bounced off the walls of the locker room and Bolin gasped loudly. "MAKO," he shouted in the direction of his brother while charging toward him then shook him by the shoulders, which Mako had to stop mid-drink as he held his waterbottle away from the two of them. "Didja hear that? THE Lord Zuko is watching us! Tonight! Here! AH!"
"He's here to watch pro-bending, Bo, not just us," Mako pointed out. He was used to his little brother's high energy and was well aware of how big of fan he was of Avatar Aang and his close friends. It wasn't often they got to brush against living history like that, especially two boys who lived on the streets for most of their lives — even if celebrities came to see pro-bending matches all the time.
Bolin let go of him before holding his own face. "YesIknowbut, HE'S HERE. HE'S GONNA SEE US PRO-BENDING. We gotta kick butt. We gotta do this. Should we pull one of our specials out? Should Pabu do an extra three flips? Is my hair okay?" Bo continued to ramble.
Mako finally took a drink of water since he was freed. "Your hair's fine and and will be half-hidden by your helmet anyway. And just do what we normally do; no need to get super fancy."
"You're right. I gotta chill. I gotta focus." He breathed in deeply then noisily exhaled as his shoulders dropped. "He's just another audience member in the crowd. We've got this."
Before their introductions were finally made by Shiro to signal the start of the game, Bolin managed to calm down. Once the bell rang, he quickly got into the groove and rhythm of the match and was so deep into the game itself that he forgot who was watching as he was used to tuning out the crowd.
The game resulted in their victory as the earthbender roared in celebration as he removed his helmet in the middle of the ring, hyping the crowd up again as he welcomed their energy with open arms. It was intoxicating each time and was basically enough fuel for him to train more for their next game.
"I'm starving; let's go to Narook's to celebrate," a familiar thing he said after most matches as the Fire Ferrets retreated back to the locker room. Mako was half-expecting Bolin to bring up tonight's special guest again, but his brother already had most of his street clothes back on, almost half-way out the door.
