Monopoly.

Pairing: Dick Grayson x Female Reader.

Summary: Dick and you play monopoly, things get interesting.

based on this (x)

Tags: @lovingbabybird

You had been playing Monopoly for two hours with Dick now, and needless to say things were getting slightly boring. 

Dick smirks as you throw the dices and fall on the ‘Go to Jail’ square.”Oh too bad babe, seems like you’re going straight to jail…” He says mockingly and an idea pops into your mind as you scoot closer to Dick, since you two were sitting on the floor with the board game on top of the coffee table. 

You smile innocently and he narrows his eyes at you.  “I’m sorry officer, isn’t there anything I can do to get you to change your mind? I’m sure there’s a few things.” You say teasingly and you see Dick gulp down as his cheeks turn slightly red.

“I’m-I’m sorry but the justice system doesn’t work that way.” He stammers and your hand rests on his thigh.

“And you happen to know a lot about the justice system, don’t you Officer Grayson?.” You mumble slowly as you bite your bottom lip, locking eyes with Dick. You lean into his ear. “Fine, but you can pay me a conjugal visit.” You whisper before nibbling on his earlobe, your hear a throaty groan come out of him.

“I guess i have to.” He says in a deep, low voice, before turning to face you and smashing his lips agaisnt yours forcefully. You groan in satisfaction before he bites your bottom lip and tugs slightly before departing. “Were you that worried i was going to win that you had to throw me off of my game?.” He mumbles, still inches apart from your face as his hand goes to your sides, you smile.

“No, you suck at this game - It just got boring.” You shrug and he chuckles.

“Should i be worried that whenever something gets boring you like to seduce men?.” He asks teasingly and you roll your eyes before kissing his jaw and them moving to peck his lips. 

“You’re the only man i like to seduce, Officer Grayson.” You whisper and he throws his head back, groaning.

“Ugh - I have never been so turned on than when you call me Officer Grayson.” He says and you bite your bottom lip. 

“Do you rather hearing me scream it?.” You mumble and smirk and his eyes go wide for a second before a smirk takes over his lips.

He captures your lips once again as your hands grip tight on his black raven hair. 

“I’ll get my uniform.” He mumbles eagerly against your lips before running to your shared bedroom.

this is short but i’m sorry i haven’t posted in a while! ya’know school and stuff.

what if it seems like batman has safehouses all over the country because he’s a paranoid maniac always ready to go into hiding in iowa, but actually he just goes on a lot of business trips for his day job and when he sees a cute house he buys it and stays there. he grew up in a big mansion with a butler, a house with only three rooms is like camping for him. he thinks it’s fun. he gets to play house and eat cereal for dinner. the flash accidentally committed some light treason and needs to lay low for a while so batman sets him up at this little place in maine. flash is like “wow he really does plan for everything” but no, he just saw an old queen anne with green shingle siding and white accents and he couldn’t help himself. it had a wraparound porch and a spire. a spire. technically it wasn’t in his carefully alloted ‘whims’ budget but he sold an extra yacht to make room. “geeze bats i get that it’s a safehouse but couldn’t you have stocked the pantry with something besides kix and peanut butter?” flash asks. “they’re shelf stable,” batman says, as if that is why he bought those things, as if this is not just What He Does when alfred leaves him unsupervised.

✨Fic Rec Advent Calendar✨

I know how many people looove Christmas, so to take part in the excitement of the wintery glory I’ll be posting a fic rec each day in December, on 8 pm CET, until the 24th. They will be posted in alphabetic order, because I love them all equally.

First rec will be posted tomorrow 🎄

“Chat Noir was currently an interesting shade of red.

A shade that, up until that day, was still unknown to the human species.

In the seat in front of him, Alya gasped loudly, stammering a half-hearted apology, the shame she put in her words not quite reaching her eyes.

The hero face-palmed, his cheeks burning hot, and groaned miserably, “Not again.””

This is a sneak peek of Snap Chat, the drabble I wrote for The Cat, the Bell, and the Wardrobe (Malfunction), the collab I did with @chocoluckchipz @kryallaorchid @midnightstarlightwrites and @eizabet for the birthday of the amazing @edendaphne   !!!

We had a lot of fun writing it!

How I started reading Chinese novels

I think we all know just how hard it is to get started reading native content in our target languages. For the longest time, I thought reading Chinese novels was an unachievable goal. Every time I opened one up I was just overwhelmed with unknown vocab. So what changed? 

Well, I kinda put myself in a situation where I had to read a novel or else. That’s to say, I took a Chinese lit class at college where we read two novels and three short stories. At the same time I was also taking a half-credit class where we read small parts of the 三体 trilogy. So, my only options were to read or fail. 

The two novels I had to read were 《在细雨中呼喊》 by 余华 and 《家变》 by 王文兴. 《在细雨中呼喊》 was up first, and I decided to do something that I actually wouldn’t really recommend y’all do: I made a spreadsheet of every new word I encountered. Every. Single. One. You might remember I made a post about that last year once I’d finished the book. If you’re curious about the exact details of what I did, I suggest you check that post out. Here’s a screenshot of the spreadsheet:

So lemme just reiterate: I absolutely do not recommend doing this^^^ unless you a) are only planning on reading like a page or two a day, or b) love suffering and pain and misery and crying. I know I definitely stress-cried a few times while reading this novel.

Anyways. I did this for two reasons: 1. I wanted an accessible list of the new words I encountered, and 2. I wanted to track how many pages I read and new words I encountered each day. It was super time consuming, but also really satisfying because I was able to see the number of new words decrease as the days went on. The first day, I read 8 pages and had ~200 new words. By the end, I was averaging 7 new words per page. It was cool to see the progress, but it was a pain in the ass to document so. Decide for yourself if you wanna put yourself through this.

However, not everyone has access to a college-level literature class in their target language. So here’s some methods that have worked for me when reading outside of class:

If anyone tries to tell you that Shakespeare is stuffy or boring or highbrow, just remember that the word “nothing” was used in Elizabethan era slang as a euphemism for “vagina”. 

Shakespeare has a play called “Much Ado About Nothing”, which you could basically read in modern slang as “Freaking Out Over Pussy”. And that’s pretty much exactly what happens in the play.
