Do The Thing. I Believe In You.

okay so my boyfriend is talking about wanting to eat me out. i’m a virgin and i’m worried i might taste weird. what can i do to taste good for him? also any tips for being in a sexual relationship ? thank you.

This is a fun new step in your relationship! Remember that if you’re not ready it’s ok to say so and wait. And if you are ready then that’s also good.

Tasting better

🌼-Eating the right thingsEating certain foods can make you smell and taste better. The big ones for this are pineapples, cranberries, yogurt, celery, strawberries, apple, and parsnips. But especially cranberries (you can just drink cranberry juice you don’t have to eat them it works the same)

🌹-Drink water!!Drinking water is major. It cleans out your system and removes toxins and just makes you healthier in general

🌼- Change your underwearThis might not apply to you but if you don’t already change your underwear everyday you should start. That way your pussy isn’t sitting in anything from the day before that could make you smell worse, taste worse, and put you on track for a UTI or yeast infection

🌹-Shower!Along the lines of the last one, hygiene is super important if you want to look smell and taste your best. Don’t use any harsh soaps usually just water does the trick or a little gentle body wash (go for unscented it’s better for your skin anyways)

🌼- ShaveThis is a totally optional tip and you by no means have to do it but it can be beneficial if you do it before hand (just be careful and don’t do it all the time because it’s better for your vaginal health to have some bush) even just trimming works that way you can feel better without hair in your way or getting in his mouth

Sexual tips and tricks (specifically for getting eaten out)

🌹-ForeplayNo one wants to just jump right in and get it over with unless it’s a quickie before work or something. If you’re in for a long night and you know it then draw it out make him wait or have him make you wait. It makes is a million times better to be super riled up I p r o m i s e. Best orgasm you’re ever gonna have is when you’ve been building up to it for an hour or two. Seems like a long time but never underestimate the enjoyment of making out and the simple joy of figuring out what each other likes

🌼-Show him some loveYour man is gonna be much more willing to do things with you if you show him how much you want him to and what you want to do with him too. Remember that everyone basically thinks only of themselves most of the time so be sure to focus on him a bit before he goes to town with you. This can be anything from kissing or marking or whatever makes him happy.

🌹-Be VocalTell him what you like and don’t like. Don’t hold it back because you don’t want to embarrass him. Both of you will have a much better time if you’re open and understanding. If you like something don’t hold back. Tell him. If you don’t like something speak up. He’s eating you out because he wants you to feel good so tell him if something needs to change to get there. And above all if you become uncomfortable and don’t want to continue, TELL HIM. It’s ok to stop and it’s ok to wait. You don’t need to take this step if you’re just doing it because you feel like you should. Wait a bit and think it over some more. It’s your body and and only you know when you’re ready.

Hope that helped! Shoot me back an ask or a dm and let me know if you have anymore questions I’m always happy to help :)

Writing Antagonists: (Aka, Your Villains and Bad Guys)

The antagonist is often either one of the most fun things to write, or the most dreaded. But either way, they are a key element of the story, and that cannot be ignored. So, let’s talk about how to make a really great antagonist.

You may have in the past met a writer or teacher or whomever who insists on using the words “protagonist and antagonist” over words like “hero and villain.” Personally, I am not so stingy about it, I feel that I know what you mean anyway so it doesn’t really matter- what there is a legitimate reason as to why you should at least try to think of your villain as your antagonist instead.

And that reason is connotation. Well, denotation too, really- villain and antagonist aren’t completely the same thing, but I’m bringing it down to connotation. 

Simply said, when you think of the word “villain”, you’ll think something like “that’s the bad guy in the story.” And when you think of the “antagonist”, you probably think “that’s a fancy word for villain, aka the bad guy in the story.”

But antagonist isn’t just a fancy word. It’s a fancy concept. It means “the guy that opposes the good guy.” That can be on any argument or view. When writing your antagonist is to remember that nothing is black/white, good/bad thinking, and that includes your antagonist.

Let’s map out the steps to making a complex villain- aka, an antagonist.

First, remember that your antagonist (usually) is a person, just like your protagonist. It might help to develop them outside of their intentions first, and put a person to the upcoming reputation.

Background:

Chances are, your antagonist didn’t just rise up out of the ground ready to kill. They came from somewhere. Your readers don’t even have to know everything about your antag’s backstory, but you do, if you want to really understand them. It often holds the key reason as to why your antagonist is where they are. The drive behind anger, revenge, change, or pleasing someone else can come from the events in their background.

Why do they hold the beliefs they hold? Were they raised that way? Were they taught by some mentor figure? Were they cover from a reality they couldn’t bear? Are they trying to please someone, or get revenge on someone who displeased them? The answer should be in their background.

Motives/Beliefs:

Remember, every villain is a hero in their own mind. They believe that what they are doing is necessary, even if they recognize that it is unpleasant. What are they fighting for? Why does it matter to them so much, that they are willing to overlook all the harm they do?

“The Greater Good”: This is one of the more common and understandable villain motives. They believe that what they are doing now is paving the way to a better future. But keep in mind that what your antag views as a “better future” may be very, very different than the average opinion. Maybe a “better future” for them is a genocidal purge or the world ending in flames. Who knows.

That’s not the only type of motive. Be creative. Work with the information you established in your character’s background to find the most reasonable motive.

Tipping Point:

This is going to be related to your background and motive in an interesting way. Think of your antagonist as a character who has already completed their Character Arc and reached a negative end. Look at the points of change on the character arc- the ones that push your character farther down their path. What are those events? Those are the tipping points that prompted your character towards becoming they way they are now- those key moments where your character had a choice, and they chose to become bitter, hateful, vengeful, cold, or other negative things.

These could be the deaths of loved ones, the promptings of a mentor, or a moment of injustice that made them realize that the world isn’t always kind.

Personality/Actions:

This is the part where you develop them outside of their intentions. How do they behave? 

It’s tempting to just say that your villain is a villain because they torture and kill people. But those are not the only things that make a villain a scary or serious threat. Some characters might jump to violence easier than others. Some might be more into psychological torment. Some might actually seem really charming or persuasive, which is frightening in it’s own way- they might actually be tricky enough to confuse you into making bad decisions on your own. Think about your character’s background again. What makes the most sense for them as a person?

Presentation:

This is how your antagonist comes across to others. Keep in mind that your reader and your other characters don’t know your antagonist like you do. How does this person present to the world? 

-Are they open to discussion/negotiation?

-Are they open about their intentions?

-How quick are they to violence?

-What are their methods of war?

-When you meet them, are they charismatic, quiet, charming, vulgar? Do they have a sense of humor, or are they stoic?

-Do they seem to enjoy what they are doing, or do they express regrets even as they do it?

Moral Complexity:

What are they willing to do to achieve their goals? Do they have weaknesses in their personal lives?

1. Do they have noble ends behind their controversial means?

2. Is there a line even they won’t cross?

3. Do they have someone/something that they care about?

4. Do they prefer to do the killing/torturing etc themselves or do they just give the order?

Remember that if your antagonist does have any of these moral weaknesses, they are not going to want to show it. One has to keep up intimidating appearances, after all. 

Speaking of appearances…

Appearance:

This part is here to tell you what not to do. There are certain appearances that are getting really old with villains.

1. Dressing in all black. Why do they even do that? It’s time to stop associating black with “bad” and white with “good”. It just isn’t like that, so stop making villains all dark and stuff.

2. Scars. I think scars are pretty cool, don’t get me wrong. But if there is no relevant reason for it to be there, don’t talk about it all the time. That goes for all characters, not just villains. Like the color black, scars are not just a villain thing. Everyone has them. Don’t associate them with “bad.”

3. Sexy. I get the idea that making a villain attractive makes them harder to hate, but that can be kind of a cop out of actual complexity. Again, if there is no legitimate reason to make your villain sexy, then don’t. It’s not necessary.

4. Ugly. I hesitate to call any traits inherently ugly, but if you’re striving to make your character unpleasant looking just because they’re bad, then once again, you are associating feature=evil, which is not creative at best and seriously socially harmful at worst. 

Basically, your villains should be just as diverse as anyone else. You don’t need stereotypes to make them scary. Sometimes it’s scarier than anything else to just have an average person. It sort of adds to the idea that anyone could be a villain. And that’s pretty frightening.

Key Point:

- Complicate your villains. They’re not just Evil McEvilpants. 

That’s it for now, but like anything else in writing, antagonists have a lot of possibility and exceptions. But that was your basic rundown on the things to consider when making a complicated antagonist.

No more melted tomblerones or mising skulls, yyeann!

This is my basic process for pretty much everything I draw. The key is understanding the shape of the garment you’re trying to draw and the shape of the body part you’re putting it on.

Drawing the body first forces you to make the shoe, hat, or clothes fit that body. With practice you’ll be able to skip some steps. This method works the same no matter the perspective or pose. It just relies on your knowledge of what a hat looks like from above, or what the bottom of a shoe looks like. When in doubt, just google refs. Don’t necessarily need the exact angle you’re trying to draw. Look at different pics to give you an idea of how it works in 3d.

Shoes are always a bit tricky because feet are a stupid ass shape.

It might help if you think of hats as a cylinder fitted to the person’s head to help you get the perspective right before you push in detail. note: heads aren’t circles. they’re kind of egg shaped if you look at them from the top.

What do you mean I thought this was how everyone played basketball? haha

Can someone pls show them how to play basketball?
