That's what I don't like about challenges, they can be lots of work/pressure. I think what you've done already is awesome, and great practice ^-^

Yeah, everytime I just drop it >< But i might finish it eventually! That’s so sweet, thank you <3

I've found Construct 2 to be an awesome game making tool. It's basic, but incredibly easy to get a platform game up and running in no time. You can create all the assets for it yourself and the "coding" is simple and visual. I have a background in art/music but not coding too and found it really great to use! There's also a free version which still has enough tools to build a platformer.

Thank you so much for the recommendation!! I didn’t know about that site until now. For anyone in need of a handy link, it’s available right here. 💕 I’ll add this to meowteching’s earlier ask!

Oh oh OH PROMPTS YAY! Fandom: Daredevil. Characters: Wesley/Matt (this seems hard to write because they are very much enemies, so Wesley/Fisk or Wesley/Francis could be good instead? Up to you) Content: anything D/s, preferably with Wesley being dominant but that's a bit different with Fisk sooo. I hope this isn't too vague! Please and thank you <3

Woodpolish. Hardwood. Cedar and vanilla. Shoeshine. Sweat.

A cool breeze across his bare skin. The wooden floor hard against his knees. Rope chafing against his wrists.

And a voice.

“When I… played, I suppose the word is, with other people in the past, we always enjoyed blindfolds. Cut away a sense and all the others have to pick up the slack, you see. If you’ll pardon the pun.”

Footsteps. A few yards away from him, coming slowly closer. Matt dug his nails into his palms.

“And there’s always an added dimension of vulnerability, of course. It’s amazing how much people rely on their vision - and how they don’t realize that until it’s too late.”

The footsteps stopped. Wesley was only a few inches away from him, close enough to feel his body heat.

But it was the scent, really, that was the thing here. Sometimes it disturbed Matt a little how animal, feral this instinct was, but that was just it. Each individual had their own unique scent, a mixture of a thousand-and-one things that no one else could imitate.

Wesley was dry-cleaner, expensive leather, aftershave - a little, not overpowering the way Foggy’s was sometimes - and traces of metal on his fingers and the occasional cigarette and resin and wood and alcohol. 

“I wonder if it’s the same for you?” Wesley said. “Not the vulnerability I imagine, but the senses? That’s what always struck me, you see. How they reacted to a simple touch like it was a hit of a whip, a sear of a branding iron. Everything’s just that more intense.” 

Wesley reached out. Matt could feel his hand, less than an inch away, heat and skin and touch, almost overpowering.

He was right, Wesley. Everything was more intense, and Matt had grown good at processing that but right now, with his instincts screaming danger at him and the low-stimuli sound-proofed minimalist environment…

Wesley put his fingertips against Matt’s cheek. Matt winced. 

He could feel Wesley’s mocking smile, the small huff of breath, the change in posture. 

“And there I have my answer. Interesting.” The fingertips trailed up. It felt like they were leaving fiery grooves in Matt’s skin - fake threat, no real danger, just his senses going in overdrive. 

Wesley touched Matt’s mouth, thumb pressing against Matt’s lips. Matt stubbornly kept his mouth closed.

There were rules to this. Strict cooperation wasn’t one of them.

“So. Sensitive senses. And then there’s the - masochism? Stamina? Whatever you call it. No one out there who can take a beating better than you.” Wesley’s hand went underneath Matt’s chin, tipping his head up, thumb caressing his cheekbone. “That’s what they said of your father as well, isn’t it? Although I doubt it did him much good, in the e-”

“Fuck you,” Matt spat.

The blow came immediate. 

Matt doubled over and spat blood onto the floor, the thick metal smell overtaking all other nuance in the room. His cheek was on fire but he fought it down, the way he’d done uncountable times before.

This was easy. He’d taken much worse. He could do this.

“Remember the safeword?” Wesley asked. He didn’t sound very concerned.

“Yes.” Matt straightened up again. “Think I’m gonna need it? Think you can make me?”

“Oh, I don’t know. After all...” Wesley gripped Matt’s hair and pulled his head back, baring his neck. “There’s beatings and there’s beatings, if you catch my drift.” 

Fingertips trailed over Matt’s bared throat, like a tickle but worse, too sharp, too gentle - this wasn’t a fight, this was, he couldn’t...

“And there’s more than one way to make someone beg.”

Also, congrats on your exams being over, I hope they went well!

Thanks! They sort of went well? I’m still not gonna say anything definite but this could, theoretically, be the last exam I ever took. 

It’s not yet sunk in tbh

London, Prague

London: How do you take your tea?

Usually just black or with a little bit of honey. I’m not a huge tea drinker mainly because, given the choice, I’ll choose coffee every time. I know that’s a sin to some of you but eh…I’m American. It’s not really a thing here. Plus I was half raised by an Italian grandmother. I’ve been drinking coffee since I was tiny.

Prague:What is your favorite season?

Ohh, definitely fall. It’s the perfect temperature and everything is dying so the air smells all magical.
