LEGO - Rubber Duck
Demon Slayer, but Nezuko looking a bit unhinged.
I should do a series of this. Lol.
After many nights of doubt and procrastination I finally finished this piece! The official poster for The Amazing Digital World. I wanna thank all my friends for their advice, time and cheers as I kept building this poster.
I had big expectations, and although I still have a lot to learn, I wanted to create something beautiful with the abilities I had, and I hope you all like it as well 💗
So you said your requests were open so ill take a shot at this. I would love to see more yandere orcs. Maybe reader is a merchant in a small town and the orc is a solitary man who lives in the mountains and rarely comes to town but when he does he only interacts with reader and buys small stuff just to talk to her. One day he comes by after winter is over (he couldnt risk traveling while winter was in cause of the cold and shit) and the reader is saying that she is getting married in a month and that sends the orc straight to kidnapping her and locking her up in his cabin to be his little house wife and mother of many little orclings. (Breeding kink please)
I think I got something close to that, lol This request was a lot to fit into just a few thousand words so I tried my best... ^_^'
Orc (Moth) x female reader
Word Count: 3k
W: nsfw monster smut, breeding kink, outdoor sex, kidnapping, forced marriage
“Damnit, this damn thing,” you grumbled at the rickety sign hanging over the door of your shop. Instead of swinging like it was supposed to, some tall bastard had bumped their head on it and now it was stuck flipped up. You hopped, trying to reach it.
“What the bloody hell are you doing?!” your father growled, poking his head out of the door of your little apothecary, “the boy’s gonna be here soon! You can’t greet him looking like that! Go put on one of your mother’s dresses.”
You pointed up to the sign.
“Forget the damn sign, this is far more important than that,” he growled.
He had a lot riding on the meet cute you were about to have with the fairy lord Darold he was hoping to arrange your marriage with. Why Darold was even coming you had no idea. Apparently he’d seen you walking through the market and immediately had his men find out where you lived so he could approach your father. Your father was hoping to negotiate some sort of sale or something to hand you over. It was all very dreary when you thought about it so you tried not to. You were hoping he would meet you, quench his curiosity, find out you were very dull, and leave.
A shadow passed over you and there was a squeak as the sign was righted. You glanced up and smiled.
“Moth!” you said, greeting your friend, “it’s been a long time! I hope you had a peaceful winter! You look quite well.”
The handsome orc smiled at you. His hair had gotten longer and was pulled up in a ponytail and his green skin looked healthy and glowing. Your eyes drifted over the tattoos on his bulky arms, biting your lip. He was always a treat in the tight leather pants he wore and rather small vest that showed off his sculpted chest. No Fairyfolk in all of Fairy had better bodies than Orcs in your humble opinion, at least this one. His bright brown eyes burned for a moment, before they were drawn away by your father.
“Moth, my boy!” he cheered, scrambling through the door, “so glad to see you back! Got a couple things around the place that need fixing!”
Your father had gotten dependent on Moth’s kindness. Every spring he came back down from the mountain where he lived to load up on supplies. He needed lots and lots of medical supplies to last him through the season, before he returned again before the winter, so he was one of your father’s favorite people, spending a lot of money all at once.
Whenever he came down he offered to fix things up around the shop. He’d fixed your roof, some floorboards that had come loose, and all sorts of other little things. You had no idea why he offered, but your father didn’t turn away his help, coming to rely on it as he had gotten older and less limber.
“Hurry! Hurry!” your father said, “we’ve got a guest coming and I don’t want the place to look like it's falling apart.”
Moth’s eyes drifted back to you and you pointed to the sign and mouthed “thanks” which got you a smile. Following them inside, you hurried up the stairs to do as your father said and find one of your late mother’s dresses. You weren’t at all the same size, but they were the only fancy things you owned. The rest of your clothes were simple, but durable wool dresses for working in the garden.
You split some seams and tightened others, fastening everything with pins, to get the dress to look halfway decent on you before you returned. Since you lived in a few rooms above the shop, you didn’t have a proper place to meet so you hurriedly set up a small table and some chairs outside near the garden before rushing back inside to start some hot water for tea. All this time you were mulling over the injustice that you had to do all this work to prepare for someone you didn’t even want to see.
You were too flustered and busy to notice that Moth had slowed his work on the back window and was watching you. He was always watching you, that’s why he offered to do chores for your father. Otherwise he wouldn’t have an excuse to hang around your shop. He liked to see you smile when you helped customers with your soft, gentle hands and flit around the garden collecting plants for potions. It made him imagine those soft smiles were for him and his children and you were enjoying the garden he’d been steadily building for you and your family.
He carried those memories with him all season when he was back in his lonely cabin in the mountain, working on adding new rooms for the babies he planned on filling it with and building you a greenhouse so you could still have plants in the cold winter months. He knew as a hedgewitch that was very important to you.
Today, though, you weren’t your usual happy self. Your brow was creased and you were dressed in a hideous dress that didn’t fit you properly but was covered in ribbons like the ladies in town. When you hurried around the corner to go look for something in the storage shed he pulled you behind the corner of the house, away from your father’s eyes.
“What’s wrong (Y/N)?” he asked, “you look upset.”
You blinked up at him, the tears that were hovering on the edges of your eyes threatening to drop.
“I’m supposed to meet with some silly fairy to get married,” you pouted, “it’s not fair. I don’t understand why I can’t help father run the shop! Why does he want to send me away?”
Moth’s normally gentle face was suddenly furious.
“He what?” he growled.
You took a step back, not expecting him to respond so strongly. It wasn’t his problem.
“It’s nothing,” you said, moving to retreat, but he stopped you with a thick arm against the wall of the house, blocking your path.
“Who is he?!” he snarled, folding his body down to your eye level.
You trembled in front of him, confused by his sudden intensity. He’d always been such a gentle giant around you. The thick scent of his musk rolled over you on the breeze and your eyelashes fluttered.
“I-I don’t know…he said he saw me in the market or something, I’ve never even seen him before,” you replied.
The last few words seemed like the right ones, because he relaxed just slightly. Only instead of backing off, he scooped you up in his arms and started walking swiftly away from the shop.
“Wh-what are you doing? I have to get ready for Darold,” you said.
He growled at you, a sound you felt against your body pressed to his chest.
“Don’t ever mention him in my presence again,” he snapped.
Your eyes got large. You still weren’t completely clear on what was happening until Moth loaded you next to him onto his cart and started driving away from town.
“Moth, are you kidnapping me?!” you finally asked, now confident that’s what was happening.
He eyed you with his flaring brown eyes.
“Do I have to tie you up?” he asked.
Your eyebrows went up and you shook your head. You peered behind you down the road that led in and out of town.
“Aren’t you worried they’ll come after us?” you asked, “my father is going to realize we’re missing pretty quickly.”
He looked at you and smiled, winking.
“I have a secret,” he said, pulling a chain from underneath his shirt with a large purple crystal on it, “I have a teleportation crystal for emergencies and this must be what I’ve been saving it for. It won’t get us all the way to my mountain, but we’ll get far enough away that we can't be followed.”
You looked nervously behind you seeing clouds of dust building on the horizon.
“Well you should probably use it soon,” you murmured, as the black spots of riders were just becoming visible through the dust.
Moth turned around and, much too slowly in your opinion, made sure everything in the cart was situated.
“Moth…” you murmured as you got the first glimpse of your would be husband cresting the hill on his horse, his bright orange hair flaring in the sunlight. He wasn’t at all your type, though he was traditionally quite good looking, skinny with pale skin instead of Moth’s rich, beautiful green. You heard shouting as his men spotted you.
Glancing up, the orc beside you threw the crystal on the ground smashing it into a million pieces. Purple smoke surrounded you invading your lungs and you coughed bitterly. The horses whinnied, not at all happy about the magic being foisted on them. Did it work?
The smoke took far too long to clear, but the first thing you noticed was the quiet sound of birds chirping, not the yelling of guards. The horses had settled and Moss gently coaxed them forward out of the cloud of smoke and on to a peaceful looking road. You glanced behind you, worried someone would emerge to chase you through the smoke, but it just got thinner and thinner drifted off on the breeze until nothing but the road in the other direction remained.
“Where are we?” you asked Moth, who was looking quite pleased.
His eyes flashed at you and you realized suddenly this was the first time the two of you had been truly alone together.
“We’re deep in the forest leading to the mountain,” he said, pointing to the shadowy mountain ahead of you, “there’s no one around for probably a hundred miles…”
“There’s truly no one?” you asked, slipping a little bit closer to him to his surprise.
“Um…yeah…no one…” he murmured as your hand drifted to his leg, sliding up the sinewy muscle pressed against his pants.
“So…now that we’re a couple…we should probably talk about how many babies we want to have,” you said, letting your hand drift higher and higher to the slowly hardening monstrosity that was pressed down one pant leg.
That was the exact sort of conversation Moth wanted to have and he couldn’t hold in his smile, tusks shining in the balmy afternoon sunlight.
He scooped you up in his big hands that could lift far more than some little fairy, and tossed you into the back of the cart, where you landed in a soft pile of some linens he’d picked up for your bed and any little ones you may have before he made it back down the mountain.
“We’re a couple?” he asked, still feeling a bit shy, though he could hardly hold himself back. He just wanted to hear it again. Just to be sure that you really wanted this. He wouldn’t have let you go if you didn’t, but it was all the more sweet that it seemed you did.
You smiled and cupped his face in your hand as he hovered over you.
“I certainly hope that was your intention when you kidnapped me, or this is going to be a very awkward trip,” you giggled, “Yes, we are a couple. You went to all this trouble…”
He hushed you with a heavy kiss, his tusks brushing your cheeks. Your skin sparkled as his hot mouth dragged away from your lips and he nibbled your earlobe.
“I’m going to make you round with five little green babies,” he purred, making you melt underneath him, he chuckled, “unless you want more…we can make more…”
Your fingertips found his chest, dusted with dark hair and you smoothed your hand over it.
“Six is a nice even number,” you whispered back as his kisses dropped lower and lower down the column of your neck.
“I can give you six,” he rumbled into your skin, “but first you have to give me something…I bet you can guess what it is…”
You heard the fabric of your dress tearing and in a moment you were bare in the afternoon sunlight, while Moth showered your body in kisses. His greedy fingers dug into your flesh, pinching and squeezing your soft places.
“Mmm, please,” you pleaded with him, bucking your hips, “take it.”
As eager as Moth was to do just that, he was much too large to go slamming into you. While he sucked a nipple into his mouth, his hand dropped lower to feel your puffy lips. A sense of satisfaction washed over him as you opened your legs for him, inviting him in, asking for more.
Slipping his fingers through the wetness he circled your clit with a digit, smiling into your breast as you moaned for him, writhing. Tugging your nipple with his teeth to get your attention, he thrust a finger inside, opening you up before pushing in another.
“Moth, please…breed me,” you groaned, love drunk and dizzy.
He’d never heard sweeter words, scissoring his fingers inside of you to stretch you a bit, his anticipation building for your sweet pussy wrapped around his cock.
“I’m gonna fuck six little orc babies into you, sweetheart,” he murmured between kisses as he made his way down your body, “pretty ones just like their mama and strong ones like their papa.”
You keened when his tongue reached your clit and he covered it with his lips. He needed you gushing if you were going to take him.
“Come on, mama,” he groaned into your pussy, “give papa what he needs.”
He thrust his fingers extra hard inside you and you fell apart on them sobbing his name.
“I need you inside of me,” you were quickly begging despite the glittering orgasm you’d just had. Your pussy was spasming around his fingers, but you knew you could be fuller…much fuller.
He smirked, torturing you with long laps on your pussy to taste your nectar. When he was finally satisfied and you were limp and dripping, he inched himself inside you a bit at a time. His girth burned at first as it stretched you, but soon it turned into a good burn as he gently bottomed out between your warm folds. When he was fully sheathed he kissed you, his tongue tangling with yours.
By the time he’d pulled away he’d lost any semblance of control, your tight, wet hole squeezing him, begging to be rutted. He tried starting out slow, giving you a few firm strokes before his pace quickly increased and you were mewling underneath him, your ankles almost behind your head as his big hands forced them down.
“I’m gonna keep pumpin’ you fulla cum ‘til your belly’s nic’n round,” he slurred, his pretty brown eyes glittering at you, chasing that goal, “gonna be sucha pretty lil mama…”
A finger found your clit, swirling it as his cock battered you, stretching you to hit all the right places. He was fucking the words out of you, all you could do was glow up at him and moan. You’d fantasized about this so many nights. Moth’s big body, moving on top of you. It was so much better than your naughty dreams. You came in absolute bliss, your cunt clamping down on him.
He roared, slamming into you a few more times before he unloaded his hot load into your womb. Rolling his hips into you gently a few more times, he didn’t even want to pull out of you. He could stay buried in you for eternity, but he couldn’t keep you folded in half forever, so he reluctantly slid out of you and rolled to your side, letting out a satisfied breath.
Rocking himself back over, his eyes drifted down to the mess leaking from between your thighs and he used a thick finger to push a big drop back in.
“I think we made baby number one,” he purred, slipping the same hand around your waist and dragging you to his chest. He buried his nose in your hair, just to sniff you. He never wanted to be away from your scent.
Since it was very unlikely that anyone was going to happen upon you on this empty stretch of forest, the two of you napped in the sunlight until you continued your long journey home.

Pairing: Clark Kent x Fem!Reader
Tags: nsfw, smut, praise kink, keeping quiet, size kink, moaning, Clark being a gentle giant
A/N: This big beautiful himbo lives rent free in my brain.
"Baby, I need you to keep it down a little. Jimmy just went to sleep." The times you fucked in at Clark's place were far and few between as it was only done if both of you were so horny you couldn't hold out. The two of you barely made it to the living room before Clark thrust his cock into your pussy and lifted you into the air, one hand at the back of your neck, the other in the middle of your back, and your legs wrapped tight around his broad hips. He couldn't keep his lips away from yours, not only to quiet you but also because he missed you so damn much through the day, he couldn't help himself.
Keeping your noises down was easier when you had his lips to keep your occupied but when Clark moved down your neck and took a nipple into his mouth you had to try really hard to keep quiet. There was also the splitting feeling of his cock ramming into your pussy as it kept clenching impossibly tighter around him, the wonderful warm feeling that made him moan as well, but then again you found out very early into your relationship that he couldn't stay quiet around you.
It was a real conundrum for the both of you. You loved hearing each other's noises, whines, praise and whimpers but at the same time you needed to keep each other quiet so you wouldn't wake his roommate up and have Clark face eternal teasing as a result.
"Bit more sweetheart, just a bit more. Stay quiet for me okay? Damn it, you feel so amazing around my cock." Clark begged, slamming his cock balls deep inside of you, lips on yours in an instance, a kiss that silenced the resulting moans the best as it could. You almost bit his tongue as a reaction as your orgasm hit you, every part of your body going tense and then fully slack in his muscular arms, including your legs which now dangled at his sides.
He kept moving, hips a blur, balls smacking against you, moaning into your mouth, kissing you with every ounce of passion and love he had to give. Clark was a big man, he had a lot to give, not just his feelings but his cum too which painted your inner walls in rapid waves. He floated you both onto the couch when he was done, his arms keeping you close to his warm both, his kisses now much more gentle, "I think you were louder. You might wanna look into buying your own place if you wanna keep doing this Clark."
His chest rose and feel with a big, content, happy sigh, his cock still snug inside your pussy, "I'll see what I can do about both those things. In the morning." You wanted to tell him that the Sun was almost up anyway but he looked to comfortable to disturb. You could cuddle for a bit longer.
I'm just saying, I would have given them more children
"Most of the fanfic are for female audiences!"
"Why is this writer only writing for fem!mc?"
"I wish there's less fem!mc fic."
Reality is already being dominated by male species, let us woman have the fan fiction community. I hate when writer is like 'Fem DNI' like?? I get that it's preference, but fuck off honestly.
Let women enjoy their things without dragging male into it. They're already annoying in rl, i don't want to hear them whining on the internet.
"Oh there's just too much fem!mc in this fandom."
It's a free story. Just be grateful that the writer are even allowing you to read it in the first place.
Stop whining about how writers need to be inclusive for the audience. Sure it'll be great and awesome if they do, but don't fucking force them.
Some are more comfortable writing a specific gender or specific sexuality or specific race. Some writer are most comfortable with writing reader as an extension of themselves. Like a self insert of self indulge fic.
Some might even feel comfortable with writing reader as oc. And that's fine. You didn't pay for it. The writer didn't ask for your money in exchange for that fic. IT'S FREE.
You can ask them to tag their fic properly but to demand them to change the fic? It's bonkers.
You guys are way too comfortable on the internet. You're acting like the rich. Ew.
I saw someone spreading hates on a writer blog's inbox and got mad in their place lol. Also, commission are obviously not included in this rant. Those are different.

"Y/N~" cooed one of the bulls as he slipped beside you. "Where ya goin?"
"To the field," you replied, pointing to the pasture behind the barn.
"Mmm, what're ya gonna do out there?"
"Dunno," you shrugged. "Maybe take a nap. It's really nice out today."
"Mmhm, it is. I'll come with you. Pretty thing like you shouldn't be out there on your own." You laughed breathily, brushing him off. You knew what he was trying to do.
"Ah, you don't have to. I'll be okay, I'm just going to that tree over there."
"But that's so faaaaar. I'll miss you if you go that far away." His hand found your waist, giving your soft flesh a squeeze. "Cmon, lemme go with you and keep you company."
"Oi." The two of you turned to see another one of the bulls approaching you. "He botherin you, sweetcheeks?"
"N-No..."
"Yeah right. He's trynna get you alone, huh?"
"Was not."
"Was to. It's fuckin obvious yer trynna keep her to yerself."
"Fellas, fellas," called out the third bull as he came back into the barn. "No fightin, not in front of Y/N. Yall promised to share."
"Yeah," chimed in the fourth bull as he snuck up behind you, wrapping his arms around you. "This heifer is all of ours, not just yours, 'kay?" The first and second bulls huffed, crossing their arms, looking away. The third bull sucked his teeth, smacking the other two's shoulders.
"Lighten up. Yall agreed to this last week. Quit poutin and suck it up."
"Hmm so where were ya headed, Y/N?" the fourth asked.
"Out to the field... u-under the tree. I was gonna take a nap."
"Yeah? Why dontcha take a nap in here, pretty?" He pressed his hips into your backside, his cock twitching against your ass. "We could all take a nap together."
"I dunno... I kinda wanted to take a nap alone..."
"Whaaaat? Why's that? Dontcha wanna cuddle with us, princess?" asked one.
"I-I do, but—"
"But nuthin, baby girl. Let's all sleep here. We can cuddle up in here where it's nice and cool, don't that sound nice?"
"I dunno..."
"Come oooooon, Y/N," cooed another. "Let's go to bed in here, have a nice lil nap before dinner."
You weren't given the chance to choose: the four bulls were already dragging you along to your pen, surrounding you on all sides.
"So... who do ya wanna sleep next to?"
"Um—"
"She's sleepin by me."
"And me."
"Now hold on, yall got to sleep next to her last night! We should have a turn."
"Yeah."
"Y/N likes sleeping by me the most, dontcha, pretty?"
"Well—"
"Shut up, you don't know shit!"
"Look who's talkin!"
"W-Wait!" you shouted, grabbing all of their attention. "Please don't fight, it makes me sad. I hate when you guys fight..."
The four bulls softened at that, sighing and glancing at each other.
"We're sorry, baby."
"Yeah, we didn't mean to upset you."
"We just... we all just like you so much."
"Yeah, and we just wanna spend time with you."
"We're sorry."
"I forgive you," you muttered, "just don't do it anymore, okay?"
"Okay, princess."
"We promise to do better."
"Okay... thank you."
"You don't gotta thank us, sweetcheeks."
"Yeah, we should be thanking you."
"...What for?"
"For lettin us do this." The bull behind you cupped your tits, giving them a gentle squeeze. You gasped, tensing under his touch.
"W-What?!"
"Mmm, yeah, and for this." Another bull reached out, cupping your pussy in his large hand, grinding his palm against you.
"W-Wait! You said we'd take a nap!"
"We will, we will."
"But we can have some fun first, can't we?"
One bull grabbed your ass, another ran his hand over his stomach. Their big hands started roaming your body, kneading your plush flesh. You whined, squirming under their touch.
"Aww, look at her."
"She's so cute."
"Just wanna eat you up, princess."
"Wanna spoil you."
"Wanna make you feel good."
Before you knew it, you were maneuvered into one's lap, his thick cock prodding at your cunt. Two of them slowly lowered you down onto his cock, the third one kissing you and swallowing your moans. Once you adjusted to the first, you felt another bull behind you, his fat cock prodding at your cunt as well, stretching your poor hole.
"W-Wait! I can't fit two of you!"
"Cmon, baby, let's just try."
"Bet it'll feel soooo good, pretty."
"Lemme just—"
The head of his cock popped inside of you, making you gasp. You scratched at the bull's shoulders below you, moaning as the second bull pushed in slowly, filling you to the brim. You whined once his hips met yours, feeling sooo full.
"There, look at that. It fit just fine."
"Ahh... I-I can't do this—"
"Shhh, just breathe baby. This'll feel so good in a minute."
The two bulls pulled out, pushing back in and making you gasp for air. They started slow, pumping in and out of you, taking your breath away with each thrust.
"Hey, cmon, sweetcheeks. Ya got two hands, dontcha?"
The other two bulls guided your hands to their hard cocks, coaxing you to wrap your fingers around them and start jerking them off. The four of them rocked against you slowly, low moans filling the room as they used you for their pleasure. One of them starting rubbing your clit, another one rubbed your nipples. You became a moaning mess within minutes, gasping and whining as they filled you up your cunt and hands. One of them gently turned your face towards his cock, pushing the head past your lips. You sucked the head of his cock for a minute before the other bull pulled you off, directing your head towards his own cock and pushing it into your mouth.
You didn't know how long it all lasted or how many times you came. All you knew was that you were feeling such an intense pleasure that you were on the verge of tears.
"Oh god—"
"Shit, gonna..."
"Me too."
"Gonna cum in you, baby."
"Gonna cum on your face."
"You want it baby?"
"Want our cum?"
"Beg us for it, princess."
"Beg for our cum."
You were feeling faint, but somehow you managed to form words.
"P-Please! Cum in me, cum on me! Want it, want it so bad! Give it to me, please, please!"
"Aw fuck—"
"Atta girl—"
"Gonna give it to ya real good—"
"Open wide, sweetcheeks—"
You barely processed what happened next. All you knew was that you felt fuller, and warm liquid spilled on your face and chest. Loud moans and groans filled the barn, almost deafening. Hands smoothed over your skin, wiping your face as they pulled their cocks out of you. You felt kisses on your cheeks as you wiped your eyes, whispers of love and praise filling your ears.
"Such a good girl."
"So proud of you."
"Thank you, princess."
"Made us feel so good."
"Always feel so good with you."
"Love you, baby."
"So fucking much."
Moments passed, and suddenly you were being moved again, onto another bull's lap.
"Now it's my turn to be inside that pretty little cunt."
"Me too!"
"Wanna feel your mouth, baby."
"Just lick me real quick, pretty, that's all I want."
You were in for a long night.
