photo dump of the last week of June 🌷 Watched Obsession yesterday. You guys know I don't usually watch horror movies in the cinema, I prefer to watch them at home, safe and cozy, but I've been hearing lot of mixed opinions about this film and I couldn't wait to finally watch it myself. I would rate it with 4 stars because it was really good and extremely disturbing. As always, you guys can find my complete review (with spoilers) in my letterboxd!! -💋

Normal People by Sally Rooney. 3 stars. I can't deny Sally Rooney is a very talented author, and the start of the book was very powerful and entertaining. However, the ending disappointed me (complete review in my Goodreads). I can't consider Normal People a bad book, it was beautifully written and didn't feel boring, but it's not one of my favorites.

comments:

Can you guys believe I never got to watch Wuthering Heights in theaters when the movie came out? (I still did the trend with the poster and my husband Jacob Elordi). Either way, I watched the movie yesterday night and I have a few comments on it. Over all the movie gets 3 stars and I'm being generous. I haven't read the book but the film was... something else... I have a lot of things to say about this so you guys can go read my review in letterboxd (contains spoiler) -💋

Haven't had much time to read this past weeks, so I figured I could talk about a book I read a while ago, that I really enjoyed, and never posted my review here. Wuthering Heights gets five stars from me. It's impossible to sum up everything I love about this book in here, so I suggest you all to go and read my review in Goodreads. But it's darkness, and poetic story has made this book one of my ultimate favorites. P.S: I don't usually mark classics, so I just decided to post some photos I took this month.

Found the Dead Poets Society book in my local library and, since I never watched the movie and the book is short, I decided to read it. It gets 3 ½ stars. I found it quite plain and, although I think the story is moving, I'm not sure the book captured the feelings that well. Also, some of the characters were quite questionable. Either way, you guys can find my full review on Goodreads. P.S: I think I like this photo dump thing, I might keep doing it.

When did you think this was a good idea? Maybe when you saw an opportunity to prove you were right about your favourite movie. That the story changed completely by watching it rather than reading it. 

You knew Jason hadn’t liked that one star you had given to Pride and Prejudice. You saw in his goodreads that it was one of his favourite books and decided to watch the movie and give it a low rating just to piss him off. Surprisingly, it worked, because he talked to you after seeing your post. 

And now, waiting for him to arrive at your house, you kept checking the time, fixing yourself, walking around—doing anything to calm yourself down—because you had invited a handsome man to your house without thinking it through first.

Of course you had stalked his account. It hadn’t been until recently that he had started posting pictures of himself, at first all of his posts were the cover of the exact book he had read and then photos of some phrases highlighted. The man was truly a romantic. He mostly read romance novels, but his favourites were the classics. 

You couldn’t help but wonder if he had checked your account too. You posted photodumps more regularly, your account was almost your online diary, so he knew how you looked.

While you were drowned in your own thoughts, Jason had arrived at your building. It was a funny coincidence that you lived in the building right across from Jason’s, and somehow you hadn’t known about each other’s existence until you decided to appear in his comments section. 

Jason swallowed hard before knocking on your door. You opened it, with your hands shaking and your heart pounding aggressively on your chest. Jason was tall—way taller than you had imagined—and he looked like he had come straight out of Fight Club. His leather jacket, a worn black cotton t-shirt, and dark jeans were a very simple outfit—but combined with his piercing greenish-blue eyes, a fading bruise near his right eye, and a white streak on his hair? That man was breathtaking. 

From Jason’s point of view you were a sight too. He had seen your posts, he knew how you looked, but in person you had a magnetic energy that no one could ignore. The only reason for him accepting your proposal, of coming to your house to watch a film, was because he found you attractive. He saw the opportunity, took it and he didn’t regret anything.

“Hi,” he said. 

His voice woke you up from your trance. You moved to the side, letting him into your apartment. 

“I’m Jason, I thought we should introduce each other properly. You have a nice house by the way.” He looked around, scanning your living room and kitchen with detail, like he wanted to find something. “You have a lot of movie posters.”

“Ah! yes. If you ask the correct people that work in the cinema they give one to you for free,” you explained, guiding Jason to your living room.

The movie was already paused on your TV, ready to be watched. Two bowls filled with buttered popcorn sat on the tea table, one for Jason and the other one for you. Once you were settled in the sofa you pressed play.

You couldn’t deny that the first few minutes of the movie were awkward. Jason sat rigid on one end of the couch, looking attentively to the TV, paying attention to everything that happened in the movie. You, on the other hand, kept drifting your gaze from the movie to Jason, to see his reaction, to make sure he liked it. 

And when the scene of the party came, you whispered: “Now look at Knox, poor boy, he didn’t do anything wrong.”

Jason looked at you, smirked, and then turned his attention back to the film. “Well yes, but he still kissed her, and she has a boyfriend,” Jason remarked.

“He kissed her on the head,” you defended.

“Still, that’s not cool and she’s unconscious, I would’ve reacted the same way Chet did.”

And that started a friendly discussion between the two of you. You never stopped talking since then, commenting on everything about the movie, Jason criticizing it—just to see your offended expression—and you refuting everything he said, like you were the director herself. And when the movie ended, you kept talking and talking, until it was past midnight and Jason got a message from someone and told you he had to leave. 

“It’s not a three star story,” you insisted, walking Jason to the front door of your house.

“Four stars,” he rated. You opened your mouth offended.

“Four and a half,” You suggested.

“I think I’ll have to watch it again to see if you’re right,” he smirked, walking out of your apartment. “Thanks for the date, it was nice.”

“It was not…” But Jason had left before he could hear what you had said. 

It might not have been a date, but you had enjoyed Jason’s company, and something inside of you told you that you were going to see each other again, very soon.

six months later

BIRTHDAY BOY .ᐟ

august 16th. that's today.

wait. full stop. that's today.

you've been counting down the days for a week straight. everything's ready; from the decorations hanging from the bedroom walls down to every candle on the cake. you even went out of your way to collect his gifts a few days prior and hide them in odd places he wouldn't suspect.

"what're you doing up so late, huh?" solid arms locking around your waist, his face buried into your neck, breath ghosting over the soft skin there. "anything bothering you?"

truth be told, jason didn't hate his birthday, nor did he ignore it on purpose. not even close, but he didn't lose sleep over it either. he's just grown to treat it like any other, ordinary day. never made a big deal out of it, a simple candle on a cupcake would've been more than enough in his book.

but you'd argue he deserves better.

"nothing in particular." you grumble, busy with acting cool and unbothered when his cake waited in the fridge, when his heartbeat thumped against your back. "how was patrol?"

"as per usual." he shrugged. "few robberies here and there." nothing mattered more than this moment. adrenaline wearing off, fatigue catching up while his cologne mixes up with yours.

what's even better, though? noticing how his eyes lit up, each candle's flame reflecting in his eyes like little stars in constellations.

"what's this?" jason stares at the velvety texture of the frosting like it's another riddle that needs solving. already halfway through analyzing how you decorated it; small waves of red frosting bleeding on the pure white on the top and the bottom. only then does he notice the exasperated groan that barely hung from your tongue, and a smile softens his features. the corners of his eyes crinkling with barely contained excitement.

it feels strange. the pure, innocent rush of happiness blooming in his chest — he hasn't experienced anything nearly similar to it ever since... well, moments before everything went south with his biological mother.

"obviously an f-35, genius." you couldn't resist the sarcastic comment, your tone matching his slightly raised pitch, softening into something far more genuine right after. "make a wish, summer boy."

despite himself and the comment right on the tip of his tongue, he indulged. with a soft breath, the candles shivered. now, all that's left are faint, thin lines of smoke disappearing into the apartment, and a lingering smell of burnt wax.

"what'd you—"

"can't tell. it's bad luck, honey."

he looks different under the soft lights, more his age, and that's enough confirmation that you put the right numbers on the cake. shoulders loosening as he moves more comfortably in your space, the endless hours spent on the streets not quite showing their traces on him.

"you organized all this?" he hums, swiping one finger over the frosting and smudging it on the corner of your mouth. close enough that if your tongue darted out, you'd get a taste. "for lil old me?"

but you never get the chance to. not when he closes the distance hanging between you, cake be damned. his head's been full of you-thoughts all day, so reminiscing about the way you taste was on the very top of his to-do list.

and the sugar on you the closest thing he'll get to a slice tonight.

"i got you a gift." you manage to peel yourself off him, take a proper breath under his gaze as jason tilts his head like a lost puppy learning a new word.

"a... gift?" he echoes, dumbfounded for a split second. "you spoil me."

for the record, birthdays in gotham come and go. sometimes a few new wounds, others long silence stretching on forever. but this is entirely new.

you nod, gesturing at the table with a shrug of your shoulder. hidden under old newspaper rests the book you bought just for him; a signed hardcover copy of his favorite author. wrapped up in a pretty silk ribbon. that much can easily give him a heart attack.

"you didn't have to get me anything." he says, cheeks burning, but knowing him, he'd blame it on the heat if you do so much as point out how rosy they grew.

a soft huff of air vibrates in your throat in a familiar rhythm as you mimic his earlier motion, stealing some frosting to mess up his face in return. "did it turn out good?"

you groan in frustration when he catches your wrist without even sparing you a glance, taking your fingers in his mouth and lapping at them with small flicks of his tongue. "it did, baby."

if birthdays are always like this, he might just start looking forward to them every year.

"this is a collector's edition." he scoffs in amazement, too busy reading through the author's exclusive notes to catch a glimpse of you scooping a good amount of cake in your palm before surprising him with another attack to his face.

"happy birthday, jerk."

[bunhush]

ꪮꫀ boyfie! jason todd who comes home from patrol absolutely wrecked. shoulders heavy, knuckles split, body screaming for rest. but the second he steps through the door all that weight starts slipping off him because he knows you’re waiting in his bed.

he leaves the red hood behind in pieces. jacket slumped over the couch like a dead thing, holsters clattering onto the counter, boots kicked halfway down the hall. he doesn’t care about the mess. he just needs you.

the bedroom is dark and warm when he finally crawls in. the mattress sinks deep under his huge frame as he slides behind you, careful even when he’s this exhausted. one thick arm curls around your waist, pulling your back flush against his chest until every inch of him is wrapped around you. he’s sooo big, broad shoulders curving over you, scarred thighs tucked behind yours, but the way he holds you is nothing but gentle.

jason buries his face into the crook of your neck, nose pressed right against your warm skin, and breathes you in like you’re the only oxygen he’s had all night. slow, greedy inhales. you smell like sleep and his shirt and that soft vanilla lotion and home. he lets out this low, broken hum against your throat, lips brushing lazy kisses along the side of your neck, slow and sleepy.

“missed you, baby…” he whispers, voice all gravel and exhaustion, barely above a breath. “fuckin’ needed this.”

his massive hand slips under your (his) shirt, palm splayed wide over your belly, thumb rubbing the softest little circles while he nuzzles closer. he tangles your legs together, curls around you tighter like he’s trying to disappear into you. every tense muscle in his body slowly melts the longer he holds you, chest rising and falling against your back, warm breath tickling your collarbone, lips still pressed to your neck like he can’t bear to pull away even an inch.

ꪮꫀ boyfie! jason todd who’s six foot something of pure muscle and danger, but turns into the clingiest, sweetest giant the second he’s home with you. tucking his face into your neck, hugging you from behind like you’re his whole world, finally letting himself rest because you’re right here in his arms.

he presses one last soft kiss right under your ear, sighs deep, and falls asleep like that. wrapped around you completely safe, warm, and so inlove it hurts.

[spoookyraccoon]

Summary: Jason's girlfriend is quiet during sex. He has no problem with it until Roy teases him over it and now hes determined to get you to moan loudly

Notes: I don't usually write smut so bare with me please! I hope you enjoy and its not cringy lol if you do enjoy please reblog and comment i get way too excited to see what yall think! Kisses 💋

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, happy Thanksgiving! If youre seeing family I hope it goes smoothly for you and if youre celebrating solo I hope you have such a fun time ♥️

Jason never thought twice about you being quiet during sex. You were quiet— not silent, not emotionless, just shy. You were soft. And he loved the Breath hitching, fingers clenching, thighs trembling. He could feel everything you felt, even if you didn’t moan like someone in a cheap Gotham porno.

It never bothered him.

At least it didnt until Roy opened his damn mouth.

They were cleaning guns in the garage when Roy snorted, “Man, does she even like it? You’re quieter than a nun’s class when you two—”

Jason threw a wrench at him. Roy dodged it, cackling.

“Bro, I’m just saying! Girl’s quieter than a library. You must be doing something wrong.”

Jason hated that all he did was punch Roy for talking about you like that. He hated how the words stuck with him. How they followed him home. How they echoed in his head the next time you kissed him and tugged him toward the bedroom.

So now?

Now Jason is on a fucking mission.

To hear you moan. Loudly. Preferably loud enough to make Roy eat his damn words. Maybe loud enough to make the neighbors file a noise complaint.

He starts subtle the first night. Kissing you deeper, kissinf you slower. Touching you like he’s reading you, cataloging every micro-reaction. You’re already panting lightly, lashes fluttering.

“Y’know,” he murmurs against your throat, “I’ve been thinking about something.” Your breath sticks in your chest. “hm?”

“You've been hold back.” His mouth drags hotly along your neck. “You always sound like you’re trying to not make a sound.”

Your fingers tighten in his hair. “Jason…”

“I want the real thing,” he whispers.

Not angry. Not demanding. Hungry.

You don’t answer; but you don’t have to. Your body gives him all the permission he needs.

He gets bolder the next time. And the next.

He learns you moan when he kisses your spine. That you whimper when he bites your shoulder. That you gasp loudest when he praises you, voice low and rough like he’s losing his mind over you.

But he wants more.

So one night, with you under him — hair a mess, lips parted and swollen, eyes completely clouded over—he cages your wrists above your head and leans close enough that you feel every word against your mouth.

“Baby,” he rasps, “I want you to let go. I want everyone to know how good I make you feel. God i need it doll.”

You shiver. “i-I can’t. It’s embarrassing.”

Jason’s expression softens, then darkens in the hottest way. “Embarrassing?” He kisses you slow, deep, filthy. “Sweetheart, your sounds are the best thing I’ve ever heard.”

His hand slips between your thighs, teasing, tempting, controlling.

“You wanna know what embarrasses me?” he whispers. “That Roy thinks I can’t get you to make a single noise. That Roy thinks I don't know how to make my girl feel good.” he growled after saying the words out loud.

Your breath catches — louder this time. He grins.

“There it is,” he murmurs, proud and turned on as hell. “Give me more angel. ”

It becomes a game, a game that he loves.

Jason finds every sound your body makes. Every trigger. Every angle. Every word that pulls a noise out of you even when you try to smother it with your hand — which he always grabs and pins away.

“No hiding,” he tells you. “I want it all.”

And the first time you really lose it — a loud, helpless moan drawn out of you by a combination of praise, his hands, and his cock hitting you just right — Jason freezes.

Not in shock but in absolute triumph.

“That’s it,” he breathes, almost moaning himself. “Fuuuuuck baby, that’s what I want. You're fucking beautiful when you’re not holding back.” He couldn't control his hips as he continued thrust into you until you both exploded.

You’re flushed, shaky, trying to catch your breath. Jason kisses you everywhere — cheeks, throat, chest — like he’s worshipping the noise you just made.

“You know what this means?” he murmurs against your ear. You blink at him, dazed. “W-what?”

He smirks, wicked.

“I’m calling Roy. Right. Now.”

You smack his chest. He laughs, drops the phone, and goes right back to finding ways to make you moan even louder;; purely for “research.”

And maybe its for bragging rights. But mostly its because Jason Todd is now completely addicted to every single sound you make.

after Jason (as Red Hood) is at least semi-publicly revealed to be working with the Bats, he obviously tells his goons/henchmen/employees not to shoot his family on sight. he explains that yes, they’re his siblings, and that yes, he was formerly Robin 2.

and while it saves him explanations or having to deal with injured family in his territory, it also gives said family a lot of power in the form of embarrassment threats.

and because his siblings are the worst, they abuse it.

Dick: Jay

Jason: What, Dickwad?

Dick: Can I borrow your charger? Mine broke.

Jason: Tf? No. Go ask Timbers or something or buy yourself a new one.

Dick:

Dick: I’ll tell your henchmen that you got tied up in a swingset when you were 14.

Jason: Oh my fucking god just take the damn cable. Ass.

Dick, grinning: Thanks, Jay!

Jason, grumbling: Fuck off.

Tim: Jason I have a favour to ask!

Jason: No.

Tim, ignoring him: So basically—

Jason: Did you miss the ‘no’ or did I miss you losing your hearing?

Tim: At least hear me out.

Jason: No.

Tim: I promise you’ll like it.

Jason: If it doesn’t involve you leaving this room, then I won’t.

Tim, groaning: You’re such a buzzkill. I should tell those goons of yours that you’re no fucking fun and fell off the stair railing last week.

Jason:

Jason: What do you want.

Tim: Well I’m SO glad you asked! :D

[velvet-milk]

. 𓂃 ࣪ ˖ ♡ 𖥻 you never expected to find softness lurking behind the intimidating exterior of him. jason todd x neighbor!reader. pure fluffy. fem!reader.

──── you'd always had reservations about your new neighbor, JASON TODD. it wasn’t just that he was a big, intimidating man, though that certainly didn’t help. at 6’1, he filled the narrow hallway you shared, his shadow stretching long across the cheap apartment carpet whenever you crossed paths. he carried himself with the heavy stillness of someone who’d learned a long time ago how to shrink into silence, yet somehow he still felt larger than life.

but it was the injuries that unsettled you the most. you’d see him fumbling with his keys with fingers bound in makeshift tape, or returning late at night with a swollen jaw he didn’t bother hiding, or resting his weight on one leg like the other burned beneath him. sometimes he wore long sleeves even in the heat, and other times he didn’t bother, leaving purple bruises blooming along his arms like ugly constellations. he never explained. you never asked. but you noticed, more than you wanted to.

that afternoon, the two of you ended up in the elevator together, the universe apparently determined to make you acknowledge each other. you held your new ceramic vase with an overgrown fern spilling out the top, soil still smelling fresh. jason stood to your right, rigid and quiet, the way he always was around you, as if conversation were a foreign language he didn’t trust himself to speak.

the scent of leather clung to him, mixed faintly with something metallic, dried blood, maybe. his jacket was creased at the elbows, dark and worn, like it had seen more nights than you cared to imagine. his hand, his injured one, hung close to his chest, fingers swollen and crooked, wrapped in sloppy strips of gauze he’d clearly done himself.

he didn’t wince. he didn’t adjust his grip. he just stared straight ahead with that blank, unreadable expression he wore like armor. the elevator hummed. the fern brushed your chin. and beside you stood jason. quiet and bruised.

the elevator creaked as it descended, the kind of sound that made you wonder if you should start saying your goodbyes to the world just in case. your fern wobbled in your arms, brushing your cheek again. the silence between you and jason stretched, thick and unmoving.

you cleared your throat softly, but apparently loud enough that jason’s head tilted a fraction toward you, like a wolf hearing a twig snap.

“uh… new plant,” you said, immediately regretting every choice that led you to that sentence. “for the living room.”

jason blinked. once. slowly. “yeah?” his voice was low, as if it scraped its way out of him.

“yeah,” you said, gripping the vase a little too tightly. “i'm hoping i don’t kill it in a week. ferns are kind of dramatic.”

another blink. then, to your shock, the corner of his mouth twitched, just barely, but enough that it felt like watching a solar eclipse. “they need a lot of water.”

you stared at him. jason todd. the man who looked like a ghost wearing a leather jacket. giving you plant care advice.

“you… like plants?” you asked, because at this point you were just improvising your social survival.

he shifted, gaze dropping briefly to your hands. “i used to kill them. on accident.” a pause. “got better at it.”

you didn’t know if he meant plants or people. with jason, it was a valid question. but the softness in his tone surprised you. a little quiet, hesitant, like someone unaccustomed to being listened to.

“that’s good,” you said. “i could use the help. you know, if i start drowning this thing.”

jason huffed something like a breathy laugh, almost startled, as if he hadn’t meant for you to hear it. “i can take a look. if you want.” his eyes lifted then, meeting yours directly for the first time, and it was like being pinned by something sharp but strangely gentle.

his injured fingers flexed slightly. he noticed your eyes flick toward them and tensed, shoulders rising in a faint, defensive curl. but then he lowered them again, almost deliberately, as if choosing not to hide.

“just don’t lift anything heavy with that hand,” you said before you could stop yourself.

jason looked at his fingers, then back at you. and there it was again, that faint, fleeting softening in his expression, as if your concern slipped past armor he didn’t realize had cracks.

“i’ll keep that in mind,” he murmured.

the elevator dinged. the doors slid open. neither of you moved at first.

then jason stepped aside. not brusquely, not dismissively, but with an oddly careful gesture, giving you space to go ahead. not polite in the traditional sense, but quiet.

“careful with the fern,” he said.

and in his own crooked, uncomfortable way, it was gentle. and maybe even a little warm.

a/n: awwww guys!! he likes plants:(
