Absolutely Tooth-rotting, No Good, Wholesome Fluffy Content From Me???? Shocker I Know🙄

Hi! I tried using the google trick but I haven’t been able to find it, do you or anyone else know of the fic where Bucky is a student and Steve is a professor/researcher and they spend the summer doing field research together? I think it was in the field or archaeology and I remember that the site was pretty remote and Steve picked Bucky up from the bus stop. Thanks!!

CALL FOR Q&A (MAILBAG)

As of December 2015, my series of tutorials on how to draw dicks has finally finished, In order to honor this small moment, I’ve decided that an addendum will be fitting to end this series.

The addendum will be a Q&A in the form of asks. If you have any questions in regards to drawing dicks (fetishes, you want me to draw some meat sticks, etc) or want to ask Arkomeda any silly or lewd questions (or send me erotic fanmail), now is your time.

Click here and ask me lewd questions about dick drawing.

If you need a refresher, here is the series of tutorials on how to draw dicks.

PART ONE: GLANS

PART TWO: INTERNALS

PART THREE: ERECTION

PART FOUR: FORESKIN

PART FIVE: VEINS

PART SIX: BALLS

Some Snape Headcanons: Substance Use

Snape has been chain-smoking since he was a teen.

He used to steal his mum’s cigarettes and he and Lily would go smoke by the river the summers they were 14 and 15. Those were some of his last good days with her, when he felt like the two of them were still really best friends. It wasn’t like that at school anymore.

While Snape is a professor he makes sure that very few people at Hogwarts know about his smoking habit. It wouldn’t do to have the students find out about that little vice. Dumbledore knows of course, but that man knows everything, and Minerva thinks she knows because she had caught him as a student and won’t be convinced that he quit. She doesn’t have any proof though. 

Madame Hooch knows because she stumbled on him one day in the out-of-the-way alcove which used to be her old smoke break spot. Even though she doesn’t smoke anymore, she still goes there to think sometimes. They bump into each other there every few month and hang out in companionable silence. 

Snape prides himself on the fact that in nearly two decades of illicit smoking, Filch has yet to catch him.

Smoke breaks in between teaching classes is one of the few indulgences he allows himself and probably the only way he stays sane.

Snape doesn’t drink – the smell brings back bad memories and he knows that there is alcoholism in his genes. Best not risk it. 

He is, however, adept at making it seem like he drinks and has pretended to be drunk at Lucius’ parties before. It’s a useful skill for a spy to have, and he does nothing to discourage the reputation of being somebody who occasionally drinks.

For Christmas, his colleagues usually gift him expensive alcohol since that is the “nice” gift you get somebody when you don’t know what else to get them. He surreptitiously re-gifts some of it to the Malfoys, or even back to his colleagues if it’s been long enough that they won’t remember where they last saw the bottle. Even so, there’s still a huge stash of unopened bottles hidden in his office. He hopes that whoever takes the office after him will be pleasantly surprised. 

Snape drinks an obscene amount of coffee. On top of being a bit of an insomniac he is not a morning person. Minerva sees him gulping his third cup of coffee at breakfast where he hasn’t eaten anything but half a piece of toast and wonders how he isn’t dead yet.

During the beginning of his teaching career Snape abused Dreamless Sleep. There may have been an accidental overdose or two, and a few less accidental ones. 

A problem with Dreamless Sleep is that taking it for a prolonged time wreaks havoc on the brain and causes hallucinations, because suppressing REM sleep isn’t actually great for one’s health. Snape could tell he was losing it and forced himself to go through withdrawal before his colleagues caught on and staged an intervention. 

He relapsed once or twice in the years since, but it never got as serious as it did in that first year after Lily died. 

He settled on experimenting to create a less risky and more potent version of the potion and got used to the nightmares again. After all, he’d had them nearly his whole life, and they hadn’t killed him yet.

Snape’s encounter with Nagini left him with long-term damage and chronic pain. They gave him some very good drugs at St. Mungo’s, but didn’t tell him what to do for the pain once he left. He’s a potions master, he supposes. He should be able to figure it out.

Chicken Soup by SeptemberWolves

Peter gulps when the man turns back, the reflective surface of the goggles blocking his expression. The man gives Peter a long look before turning to leave.

“Go home, child.” He says, voice surprisingly soft.

That Avengers Kid by falloutwade & vocalpeter

Peter Parker is your everyday geek. Straight A’s, outstanding efforts, a weird obsession with a show called Teen Wolf, his amazing knowledge of anything he studies, and overall any parent’s dream son.

However, being abandoned the porch of a white suburban house wasn’t the boy’s best memory. But, that’s how he ended up with Steve Rodgers and Tony Stark as parents. And the coolest ones as well.

Easily excelling in all his prior schools, and classes, Peter was positive he could get through his high school years with a breeze. That was until he met a man with a charming smile on the streets.

Why isn’t this self-explanatory? (WIP) by DimensionWarper

Phil doesn’t even understand why these are even on the list of rules for the Avengers. He thought that the only teenager on the team was Spider-Man.

Asian rep tips + general info

Note: I am Korean and Filipina, and most in touch with my Korean culture. Also, race is a construct. For the post’s sake I’m talking about people who are from/live in the continent of Asia, though not all of those people identify as ‘Asian.’ 

This is also just some information about Asia and Asian people because some of you need to educate yourself :) 

Also: it is not BIPOCs’ duty to teach white people how to represent respectfully. I’m just sick and tired of seeing Asian people written so poorly. 

Asia isn’t just East Asia. Asia is a large, diverse continent with billions of people from different backgrounds, cultures, and nationalities. There are West Asian people (Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and more), Central Asian people (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and more), East Asian people (Mongolia, China, North & South Korea, Japan, and more), Southeast Asian people (Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Burma and more), South Asian people (India, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and more). There is also North Asia, which is some parts of Russia like Siberia, but not everyone there identifies as Asian. The regions I listed above are geographical. 

Not all Asians are light-skinned. There are dark-skinned Asians in every geographical region. Skin tones range from light to dark, with different undertones. Asian skin is very beautiful and diverse. (Not yellow undertones. No one is yellow unless they’re sick or something.) 

Avoid stereotypes. You know: super booksmart East Asian and Indian people who are also street dumb and awkward, non-East Asian people being portrayed as the ‘stupid’ kind of Asian, ‘rice for five dollar,’ and anything like that. I’m not going to list them all here because you can easily look them up. 

There are Indigenous Asian people. A lot of them don’t look ‘Asian’ (which is so stupid because it shows how race is judged by how people look and really not much else), and they are extremely under represented probably because a lot of them have dark skin and appearances that do not fit in with East Asian and Eurocentric beauty standards. 

Do not sexualize Asian women/feminine presenting people. This is such a huge problem. It’s not even just women, it’s girls too! (I could go on about how this contributes to pe//phile culture, which is like r//pe culture but I do not want to trigger anyone so I’ll do that in a separate post.) Our appearances and cultures do not exist for your sexual fantasies. This is also a huge problem for East Asian men since the rise in popularity of KPOP and anime (largely via TikTok).

On the complete opposite side of the scale Asian people who do not have light-skin or Eurocentric features are seen as ugly and undesirable. I.E: dark-skinned Asians, people with big noses and bushy eyebrows, flatter noses, large cheekbones, and more. These people should be written more as beautiful and desirable because they are. 

Do not base your characters on KPOP and anime stars. Just. Don’t. I shouldn’t have to explain why. 

Mixed Asian people exist and shouldn’t be written as ‘exotic.’ White/Asian people, Black/Asian people, Indigenous (place)/Asian people, and Latine/Asian people do not exist for sexual fantasies or. We are real people. (And just as Asian!) Also, (non-Asian ethnicity)-passing Asians and racially ambiguous Asians are JUST AS Asian. 

Just write us like normal people, please. Not super sexy, not ugly, not geniuses with no personality, just like normal people. Give us flaws and strengths like any well-rounded character. 

Research Asian names. You do not want to be the next JK Rowling with a Cho Chang incident. 

If you need an appearance/name reference look at geography/culture websites and National Geographic. If you just search up Asian people you will come across East Asian light-skinned people and KPOP stars. (If anyone has any other websites/media please let me know or add it on!) 

We don’t eat everything with chopsticks. I only eat Asian food with chopsticks. (I live in America.) 

Write alternative style Asians cautiously. BUT NOT PURPLE HAIR STREAK. DO NOT GIVE THEM AN ALTERNATIVE STYLE TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE SPECIAL!!!! 

LGBT+, disabled, neurodivergent, fat, and other under-represented Asian people exist. Write them. 

If you’re drawing/describing an Asian character and they have pale skin, silky dark hair, a button/pointed nose, and BLUE eyes think again. Yes, there are some Asian people who look like that (I mean not with blue eyes really unless it’s a genetic thing or they’re mixed), but most do not. My hair is very thick and corse, my nose is not pointed or a button nose, and my eyes are definitely not blue. Important note: Asian/white people can have some Eurocentric features as well as other Asian mixed people.

There are thousands of languages spoken by 4.3 billion people in Asia. I.E: people who live in India don’t speak ‘Indian.’ There are many languages spoken there such as Hindi, Konkani, Assamese, Bengali, and more. Important note: many Asian people who do not live in Asia are disconnected from their language(s) and other aspects of their culture. This is not exclusive to Asia. Keep that in mind when writing characters. 

There are many religions practiced in Asia and many religions originated there. Commonly practiced religions in Asia include Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Taoism, Shinto, Sikhism, and many more as well as indigenous religions. It is important to research the religion you’re writing about! Also, religious customs in Asia can be practiced differently than whatever place you are from, so look into that. I cannot be much help with religious inquiries besides Catholicism as that is what I was raised, but I currently identify as an atheist. 

If you are writing a female Asian character, note that female stereotypes are different for Asian women and white women. This is super important. Read into it. 

There is definitely more that can be written, and other Asian people feel free to add on! Non-Asian people do not clown around and are you encouraged to rb. If you have any questions feel free to send some asks! And thank you to @pepto-bismol-veins​ for your help. 

As I said, I am East and Southeast Asian and representation having to do with Asian characters outside of that I will not be able to answer well. I encourage non-Asian writers writing Asian people to look for sensitivity readers. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Asian people writing Asian characters that fall into an Asian stereotypes is different than when non-Asian people do it.
