I’ve been sitting here writing for three hours now. And after rewriting one scene three times, making the ending twist even more awful than it already was, and crying like a MFer, I finished the chapter. And I’m going to make my deadline.
It was a good day. 🖤🥹🖤🥹🖤

March 2026 Bitties
Shade (Deltafell Swatch)
Shade bitties earned their type name not just for their preference for shady areas (in terms of disrepute as well as places where the sun doesn’t often reach), but also for their tendency to be quite confident in subtle disrespect. They can be condescending and judgemental, not to mention extremely selective with their clientele, so it’s highly advised not to pick up a Shade bitty if one is sensitive to insult. As a Paintmate, they naturally take great pride in their appearance but for the life of them are unable to take what they dish out. If someone makes a remark about their personality or appearance that they believe to be disrespectful in turn, their tempers will flare and (while reluctant to resort to physical altercations) they will attempt to outdo the individual with catty remarks and comments that may or may not be disparaging about each and every aspect of the other. It’s not recommended that they share a home with Despair bitties for this reason.
Rip (Deltafell Seam)
These bitties have been through some rough times, and the evidence is present on their plush bodies. Rip bitties resemble black cats, often with stuffing spilling out of the numerous holes and tears in their bodies, and when they speak it’s often in a raspy whisper. The more movement-capable ones do enjoy messing with other more superstitious bitties by crossing in front of them, though they don’t necessarily believe that bad luck is real; rather, they believe that everything bad happens to an individual for a reason and is more than likely deserved based on things they have done in either their current or past lives. While Rip bitties’ type name can be attributed to the damage that their bodies have sustained, those unfortunate enough to earn a Rip’s wrath will soon discover that the reason for their name is their enjoyment in slowly ripping others apart with their sharp claws. They prefer a diet of fresh fish and do not appear to need to consume any liquid.
Burnette (Deltafell Mizzle)
Unlike their Mory counterparts, Burnette types (alternatively, Burnard for male-identifying individuals and Burneth for nonbinary-identifying individuals) are fire spirits. They enjoy heat and fire-based puns and for this reason tend to get along with fire elementals, but they are often more serious than not. They aren’t easily impressed, and it takes a lot of effort to win a Burnette’s favor. They can often be found taking the form of a torch’s flame and tend to be deep sleepers, so it’s unlikely that they notice that their torch is being moved. Burnette types can also come in myriad colors, not just red, yellow, and orange. They tend to stay well away from water and other liquids, not because it hurts them but because it tends to evaporate in close proximity to them. They also tend to avoid flammable liquids, namely out of a preference to stay small but if needed they can guzzle gasoline to grow to an immense size. They can also be quick-tempered when dealing with thieves, the offenders often getting their hands burned by an angry Burnette. In terms of clothing, Burnette types tend to prefer witch-like garb (including but not limited to pointy hats and long robes).
Evility (Deltafell Lancer)
Evility bitties live up to their type name, or at least try to as much as possible. Rather than dressing primarily in blue and black, they prefer red and white. They practice cruelty and of course evil laughter and see nothing wrong with being deemed a ‘bad guy.’ They still enjoy digging holes, but said holes are often hiding sharpened wooden spikes or other nasty traps. They aren’t opposed to bullying others to get their way and demand respect from anyone and everyone they meet due to their status as royalty among Darkner bitties. While claiming to be above childish things, in truth they are quite lonely and attention-seeking regardless of said attention often turning out to be negative. They look up to King Spade bitties who are often more merciless than they are and desire to be as powerful and commanding in the future if they aren’t already, because if they can’t make friends normally then surely there’s nothing wrong with forcing others be their friends.

A chinese woodland plant, Chrysosplenium macrophyllum (giant golden saxifrage) is valued as low growing groundcover that flowers in the winter. The evergreen leaves are dark grey-green and become flushed with dark red, especially in cold weather.

Totally Random Non-Fiction Tuesday
Trees are friends. I mean, that’s not exactly what this book is about, but, when I read the title and blurb, that’s the feeling I got about it. And, of course, shade isn’t just about trees, but, these days walking around so many neighborhoods is so distressing because there is just a dearth of trees. Now, I will say that this isn’t the first time that this part of the country (Northeast/Massachusetts) has been sorta clear cut of trees, and, then come back from it, so… hope abounds. But, still… shade is so important in so many ways, and, so I was happy to give this book a try.
This was interesting (and, actually, it wasn’t much about trees). It looked at how cities in the past were created, and how they’ve been created here in the US, and, the reasons for why each of these types of cities were created during their time periods. It also looked at how shade changes our health and stuff like that. As I said it was an interesting read that made me think.

Answer
I’m still not really sure how to write Paleman since he’s basically a blanker slate than Shade, but I think I’m getting the hang of it? Or maybe I’m making him too mean. IDK.
Requested by: Anonymous
Pairing: Paleman x Shade (Ninjago)
Kinks: Edging, light bondage
Con: Consensual
Shade was making small whimpering sounds now, which Pale could only chuckle at. With the vibrator stuck under his dick, which he couldn’t remove due to his arms being tied behind his back, he wasn’t getting off any time soon.
“You’re doing great, baby,” Pale purred softly. His own hands were groping at his breasts and his vagina, not that Shade could actually see it. Granted, even if Shade could notice Pale’s masturbation, he probably wouldn’t be able to focus. He was too distracted.
Whatever Shade was about to say died in his throat, coming out in a jumbled string of moans and grunts. The vibrator was on an evilly low setting; not enough to make Shade come any time soon, but enough to drive him insane. Pale continued to grope himself, rubbing his clit with his fingers. He had enough experience with masturbating that he didn’t have to look, taking in the sight of a squirming Shade before him.
“Pl-please…” Shade begged. “I…n-need to-”
“You don’t get to come until I come first,” Pale reminded him. “Remember? That’s the deal, and that’s what I had to tie you up; you keep misbehaving. Do I need to punish you even further, my dear?”
Shade whimpered again. “N-no…I’ll be go-good…but I-”
“You can be good for me by hanging in there, okay?” Pale chuckled. He himself was getting close now, forcing him to catch his breath as it began to increase. The buzzing of the vibrator and Shade’s cries were becoming white noise in his ears.
“Pale?”
“Almost there, man. Just round the bend.”
“I can’t…”
“Don’t be silly. Yes you can.” Pale huffed, glad that his body was invisible so Shade wouldn’t be able to see how sweaty he was. “Come on, I last this long all the time. You need to increase your stamina if you wanna be a good boy.”
He removed his now slick hand from inside of him with a cry that resounded as he was sent over the edge. Oh, that felt amazing. Pale let his body gradually wind down and relax, before turning himself visible and focusing on Shade. “Well. I’m done. You know what that means?”
Shade sighed, eyes squeezed shut. “I don’t know.”
“You get to come now, precious.” Pale turned the vibrator onto a higher setting and watched it work its magic. Shade’s entire body was shaking like crazy and he was gasping for air as he came all over the bedsheets.
Pale merely chuckled. “That’s a good boy.”
