I heard it was an emergency, so I emerged.

As an actor, I can’t do much without face to face contact. But I can read verse. If me reading a particular poem would make you happy, let me know and I’ll post it on @SoundCloud. I’ll try and do at least one a day x
Thanks for your myriad brilliant suggestions. I’ll post the first ones tomorrow.

Meanwhile, if anyone needs a bedtime story, this might be useful for dealing with extra tantrums. You know what adults are like.

O'Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston.

'What colour passport am I holding up, Winston?'

'Black.'

'And if the party says that it is not black but blue - then what colour?'

'Black.'

The word ended in a gasp of pain.
‘What colour passport, Winston?'

'Black.'

The needle went up to sixty.

'What colour passport, Winston?'

'Black! Black! What else can I say? Black!’
‘What colour passport, Winston?'

'Blue! Blue! Blue!'

'No, Winston, that is no use. You are lying. You still think it is black. What colour passport, please?'

'Black! Blue! Black! Anything you like. Only stop it, stop the pain!'

My first REAL job as an immigrant in America was as a Mail Room Clerk. Temp. Through an Agency. In the mid-90s.

We collect, sort and distribute inbound/outbound mails to/from about 10,000 employees on Campus, twice a day. It was a "tough" job because we're required to stand all
day, except during breaks, even when there's no mail to sort or deliver.

This was just as "The Internet" was starting to become a Thing. Any major magazine/newspaper made it a point to have one or more "Internet" news items on its cover, so you couldn't miss the news that the
"Internet" was going to happen.
As a green-eyed, hungry, young immigrant, this excited me so much that I had no choice but to break protocols and immerse myself in sponging up everything I could about this new Thing. As a mailroom Clerk, I was close to the front row (not onstage)

greatness thrust upon him | #sheith | nsfw as hell | abo, canon, keith is a verified size queen & shiro proves his BDE isn’t just metaphor 🍑🍆💦

Everyone knows the legend of how Cadet Keith Kogane once broke out of his heat room to complain his knotting toy wasn’t big enough.
It’s fine. Keith’s not a cadet anymore, and he’s been on Altean-grade (and then Galran-grade) suppressants for going on five years. Theoretically everyone should’ve forgotten that embarrassing prologue to his nonexistent sex life. But they haven’t.

Like, they haven’t /at all/.
Which is why fifteen seconds into his morning stretches, an alpha comes over and asks: “Want some help?” The alpha is human, a lieutenant, and wearing leggings that cling to the outline of his dick enough to prove he’s a shower instead of a grower.

“Thanks, but no.”

O!Katsuki A!Izuku Sugar Baby AU

There were a lot of sugar babies that fucked for money, however Katsuki wasn’t one of them. When it came down to it, his clients were looking for a pretty little thing to make them feel young and important.
He could easily do that with his clothes on.

If anything, the fact that fucking was off the table, only made him more desirable. His scent was crisp, clean and virginal, turning heads whenever he walked in a room. This made him the ideal guest at social events.
The well to do were always looking for interesting means to impress one another. So long as he kept his temper wraps, it was easy money. The ego boost his clients experienced when seen out with him was more than enough to keep them coming back.

Jungkook grinned as his phone lit up with a 'good morning' text from /THE/ Park Jimin. He couldn't believe his luck. A few weeks ago, he'd finally worked up the courage to confess to the crescent-eyed man and was beyond thrilled when Jimin readily agreed.

#1: I have the right to ask for what I want.
You are allowed to ask. You don't have to mind-read beforehand to make sure the answer will be yes. You don't have to swallow everything you want or like or need. Sure, it's possible the answer will be "no," but you can prepare for that possibility. It's not wrong to ask.
