every time someone writes my baby jean kirstein as a jerk fuck boy, cheater, toxic, disrespectful to women and extremely popular, an angel loses his wings; because he would literally be the og yearner, he's a big loser who thinks he's a popular guy, bro could never use women, he would be a hopeless romantic, a soft spoken man, nervous around the girl he likes, respectful, overprotective, he would always put the person he loves first, probably the best boyfriend/husband in this world.

words: 2.3k
🏷: the standard stuff: descriptions of sex, both penetrative and oral, mild kink and d/s dynamics (switch Liam my beloved) Li being a total sweetheart gentleman best bb boy ever. but we knew that already. and mandatory disclaimer that this is just my interpretation, it's okay if yours is different! kthxbye
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
perfect angel boy. giving you cuddles, kisses, reassuring words… he’s massaging out any tension if you were in a strenuous position, running you both a shower/bath and helping clean you up before you go to sleep (more cuddles.)
he needs aftercare too though. reassure him that he did well and that it felt good for you, that he wasn’t too rough, etc. and he’ll never say no to head scratches / having his hair played with while you cuddle (let him be the little spoon sometimes!)
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
he’s fond of his back. he has an insane shoulder-to-waist ratio and a lot of definition there. that’s also where his relic from Deigh is, which is a point of pride for him. he was so happy to be chosen at Threshing, even though nobody had any doubt that he’d be one of the first cadets to bond.
he’s a thigh and tummy man to me. he likes how soft they are. it’s so comfy to use your lap or your stomach as a pillow while you give him head scratches. and he always makes sure to kiss those places before he goes down on you.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
again, perfect angel boy. he’ll cum wherever you tell him to, because he wants you to be comfortable with it, and he knows it can be annoying to clean up. he’ll always be the one to clean it though.
his cheeks get really pink when he’s close / when he finishes, and it usually winds him a little bit. he’s gonna need a second to catch his breath.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
once he had a dream about absolutely railing you, just a rough, face down ass up fuck. he liked it more than he should have — it made him feel guilty though, poor baby. he was extra sweet and loving to you the next day as an “apology” even though you had no idea about it and it was literally just a dream.
though if you were to tell him you wanted that, he’d give it to you in a heartbeat. he just won’t be the one to bring it up first.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
he knows what he’s doing, but he doesn’t have very many metaphorical tally marks on his headboard.
also, even if he’s agreed to not be exclusive with a hookup partner, he’s probably not fucking anyone else on the side. he’s a monogamist to me through and through, despite being a bit of a flirt.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
I hesitate to say missionary because that’s “boring” but he’s a sweetheart and he wants to be able to see your pretty face and kiss you in the moment, and he wants you to be nice and comfy while he does (most of) the work — he’s a generous lover. also a fan of spooning or side by side — positions where you get a lot of full body contact and/or can look at each other.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
he can crack a joke or two, but he’s pretty focused on the task at hand.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
he’s doing some routine maintenance. and yes. he has a lovely little trail of dark blonde hair from his navel on down… but nothing on his chest — I just can’t see that.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
he can tone it down if you’re just FWB or a one night thing, but intimate and loving is his default setting, especially the first few times you get together.
takes things slowly, lots of soft kisses and touches, makes you cum on his fingers to get you ready to take him, slips in slowly because he’s big and doesn’t want to hurt you, praises you for taking it so well, and then gives you the best sex of your life.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
for a while he doesn’t trust the sound shields he makes, so he covers his mouth with one hand whenever he’s flying solo.
once you’re in a committed relationship, he struggles to finish on his own, because he just wants you there with him. to him, with you, sex is so much more than just a biological need, it’s an emotional experience and a way to be close to you. so you’ve basically (accidentally) rendered him unable to jack off. congratulations.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
trust is a huge thing with him (yes I know that’s not a kink, shhh I’m not done yet) so anything where he’s “in control”. the fact that you trust him enough to let him take the reins really does it for him (this to be explored in more detail in a certain writing challenge for a certain month of the year…) but to him, you’re always in control, even if your hands are tied. you say the word and it all stops, of course, but beyond that, he’s doing all of this to please you. so you’re really in charge, even if he’s domming.
praise praise praise. tell him how pretty he is, how good he feels inside you, how much you love him… this extends into the aftercare too. tell him that you love him and trust him and he’ll melt.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
his room, yours, the shower. that’s it.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
if you initiate things / ask for it / take control and turn cuddles or a soft makeout into something more, he’ll be ready to go as soon as physically possible. he wants to be wanted!!
and then of course all the typical guy stuff. he tries really hard to “not be a perv” (his words) but he just can’t help it sometimes. he’s in love with you, and you’re not as fuck.
he’ll get a little whiny / pouty when that happens, coming to stand behind you and put his hands on your hips and kiss your neck softly, rub up on you a little… he won’t ask you for anything outright, because he’s a little shy about it, but if you use that soft voice with him and ask him to use his words, he’ll beg so prettily.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
if you’re in an established relationship / even just repeat FWB, I can’t see him inviting anyone else into the bedroom. you’re his.
I also can’t see him doing anything degrading to you / being mean. he might edge you a little to tease, or overstim you, but he’s not going to hurt you, beyond the occasional (consensual) spank or him pinning you down gently while he works.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Liam eats. there’s not a doubt in my mind. he likes to take his time with it, giving you soft little kisses all over your thighs and hips and tummy before he gets to the point. builds up slowly, starting with gentle licks and little laps of his tongue… he savors it; the taste, the little sighs and soft sounds you make when he’s making you feel good, the weight of your thighs resting on his shoulders and the softness of them against his cheeks, you pulling his hair a little, or tangling your fingers into it…
he’d be so shy about you giving him head the first time, since he knows a lot of people don’t like doing it, and he’s on the bigger side… but he loves it. almost as much as he loves fucking you — it’s just not as intimate as being at eye level, having mutual pleasure. but he’ll never say no to head if you offer. he gets hard as soon as you drop to your knees in front of him and pull your hair back.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
his default is slow and soft at first, but he can be convinced to intensify things if that’s what you want. tell him what you want!! he wants to be wanted and feel useful!!
after he’s made you cum at least twice (once before penetration and once during) he can get a little desperate and pick up the pace a bit, because he wants to cum for you and he needs it so bad, baby, please, you feel so good…
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
never. he wants enough time to make sure you’re ready and to please you thoroughly before you actually fuck, and quickies just don’t offer that.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
not really, no. he’s not pulling a Xaden and messing around outside either of your rooms. maybe the showers, but he’d be nervous about that and therefore wouldn’t enjoy it as much. and again, you’re his — he doesn’t want anyone walking in accidentally and seeing you undressed. only he gets to see that. though this is a military school, with community showers and your first year you lived all in the same room… don’t tell him that all the girls in your year have seen you naked. (or do. he’ll get pouty and jealous, and then you get to remind him that others have looked, but only he can touch…)
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
as many as you want, with breaks to catch his breath in between. but time constraints, and needing to not be completely exhausted in the morning usually keep things between 1 and 3.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
I say this every time but I have no idea what toy options they have.
if he can really wield ice, and that wasn’t a typo, that might make a rare appearance. he’d like running it up and down your body and making you shiver and squirm.
maybe a little bit of rope. your hands being tied, or his… again coming back to the trust thing. if you told him that you feel safe enough to be restrained while he does his thing, he’d be over the moon. he wants to feel trusted 🥺 and he’s also all about your pleasure, so you tying him up and riding him until you get what you need from it would be hot as fuck.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
a little, but not too much. he wants to make you feel good, so he doesn’t drag things out too long. he gets pouty when you tease him though. he’s fun to rile up because unlike Xaden or Garrick, he’s not going to snap and just throw you over his shoulder and deal with it right then and there. he’s patient, and a little shy, so he’ll suffer in silence or just whine about it until you decide he’s waited long enough. the payback is always sweet though. and he believes in revenge served cold.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
a medium amount. he’s vocal, but not loud per se. at first he tries to muffle things, and you have to tell him hey don’t do that, we have a sound shield and also men moaning is hot as fuck. I want to hear how good you’re feeling. and he’s a little shy about it but eventually he’ll feel so good that any embarrassment goes away. he wants you to enjoy this, and if him being vocal is what gets you off, he’s not not going to muffle it.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
you accidentally tried cockwarming once, when you fell asleep on him during the pre-shower cuddles, and he really liked it. we know he wants to be as close to you as physically possible all the time, so this should have been obvious to him, but he didn’t know it was a thing.
he very shyly brought it up later, and now it’s a staple in your cuddle routine. but he’s sensitive, and you feel so good around him… so often times he’ll be a little squirmy and whiny, shifting his hips to try to get some relief, as if this wasn’t his idea. but again, make him use his words and ask nicely — and then ride him until he cries.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
built like a Greek god. the perfect abs (a healthy amount of definition, not gross marvel-hero dehydrated scary level), and an amazing shoulder to waist ratio. his relic doesn’t go all the way up his shoulder but comes close. and his mark from Deigh crosses his shoulders nicely.
he’s hung.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
I was going to put this as the wild card and then I realized that it was its own thing. but high. he’s a lot more horny than he lets on, but he holds it back because he doesn’t want to scare you off or make you feel obligated to fuck him (as if.)
also… Liam just yearns, period the end. he’s just a little lovesick puppy boy to me. he wants to be close to you. the yearning isn’t always for sex, though. sometimes he just really desperately wants cuddles — but cuddles can turn into lazy loving sex if you play your cards right.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
after aftercare and cleanup and cuddles, fairly quickly. again, that trust and feeling safe thing. sleeping with someone is one thing, but truly sleeping with them afterward, being unconscious around them, takes trust and safety. he’d be so happy if you fell asleep on him or stayed the night.
“Wang Yibo has no childhood since he was 13. When he left his hometown, he gets homesick and was quite sad. He also picked up a stray kitten and give it a name, and also help a deaf person with directions and wrote to them a ‘Jiayou!’ (You got this!, you can do it! etc.) message. He got splashed with paint by the antis, confused but also smiled in front of the camera and said, “I see it as them congratulating me”. A young boy flew to South Korea himself to participate in an audition, standing on stage looking left and right only to see one single banner of him in the audience, filming for days and nights to the point of hospitalized due to fatigue from overworking. In order to encourage his juniors he end up telling his childhood story of him dealing with myocarditis (inflammation of the heart) and that he had to stop dancing. His birthday’s livestream got disturbed by the antis coming in and insult him, his phone got blew up by the sasaeng fans constantly calling him, and later the boy said he never want to celebrate his birthday again. He was attacked on sns for 8 days and 8 nights, with a trembling voice in an interview, he said if he is no longer needed in the entertainment industry then he will just do motorcycle racing. I always thought I could protect him by standing in front of the boy, but then I found that he already full of arrows on his back while exposing his soft front to me, telling me to stay indifferent (wu gan) and not to worry about it”.
“He is a baby that I will forever treasured in my heart, he is a sincere, honest, and magnanimous child. My heart trembles and hurts every time I recall his past. For such a child, don’t say that he’s acting or pretending, please think before you speak”.
Can you possibly explain nail guards to me? Or even link to a post you know/made about it?? Are they historically accurate? Was it just the 2 last fingers?? Is it just for aesthetics?
Nail guards are called 指甲套 zhijiatao(literally fingernail covering) or 护指 huzhi (finger protection) in Chinese and is an accessoryworn by women. They originate from the Ming dynasty but became popular in theQing dynasty.
Both men and women of the nobility in ancient China woretheir nails long. Long nails were seen as a symbol of wealth as it meant they didnot have to do manual labour. (This practice didn’t end with feudal times. Evennowadays you will see men in Asia with very long pinky nails, which is seen asstatus symbol of wealth and the fact that they don’t have to work with theirhands.)
