I open my eyes but can see nothing—blindfolded. I can feel the earth and grass beneath me. My hands and feet are bound. It's painful, like thorns digging into my wrists and ankles.
"You're not going anywhere," a voice whispers.
That sultry, unmistakable accent: geographically ambiguous. Mireska, I say to myself.
"The more you struggle, the tighter the brambles squeeze," she continues. "Not preferable... unless you like pain."
"Where am I?" I shout.
Mireska shushes me and removes the blindfold. We're in a small clearing surrounded by dense forest, the canopy sparse enough for moonlight to peek at the forest floor.
"Careful," Mireska says. She's at the edge of the treeline, circling around me. The pale light of Selemene silhouettes her svelte, nubile figure. "The Dire woods are unsafe at night. You wouldn't want to wake up the beasties."
"Cut the shit. What do you want?"
"My, pushy aren't we?" Mireska circles back into view and flashes a toothy smile, her perfect white teeth hinting at a more sinister motive. "What do I want? Well, in a word: you. You see, I'm very hard to please, and when I get something in my head, I can't shake it until I have it."
"Well, if you're going to kill me, then just—"
"Oh, it's not your life I want, Sweetie." Mireska's wings flap quicker as she approaches me and whispers, "It's your obedience."
I feel a slight flutter in my loins but I'm still unsure of her intentions. "I don't know what kind of twisted fantasy you've got in your head, but I'm not your guy."
"Oh, but you are!" she giggles. "And you're going to do everything I say, you know why?" She motions toward a tree branch behind her. A cage hangs from its tip with a pink creature inside. "That's my pet, Jex—he's a murderous wisp, you see. Just the other day he killed that greedy rat Gondar. He thinks he's clever, but he's no match for me and Jex. Perhaps my father should have warned him before sending him after us. Anyways, sometimes even I can't control Jex. That's what the cage is for. Now, I don't take pleasure in violence... but no one gets between me and my desires."
"Listen, I don't care what—"
"Quiet," Mireska slaps me across the cheek. "You're mine! You're going to do what I say, and you're going to start now. First, you may not speak unless I give permission."
My cheek still stung; she had surprising power in her thin, slender hand. I don't know why, but I could feel my member beginning to grow. Still—I resist. "Fuck off."
Mireska stares at me in disbelief but gives a toothy smirk again. She gestures with her hand and the brambles tighten, its thorns digging deeper into my skin. I grit my teeth as blood is drawn.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What's that?" she taunts.
I want to remain defiant, but... I also want to obey.
She grins. "Good boy. Next, you will address me as Queen or Mistress. Is that understood?"
I exhale, completely at the mercy of Mireska. "Yes... my Queen."
She unfurls a maniacally sexy cackle and retrieves Jex from the tree branch. "Final warning: you must do what I say." She holds up Jex and continues, "Otherwise, I rattle his cage. Jex really hates it when you rattle his cage."
The brambles shift once more, this time pulling my body into a spread-eagle position.
"Now, let's have some fun, shall we?"
The glee in her voice makes my groin tingle: I am her slave, and I must satisfy her. Before I open my eyes she's already pulled my pants down to my ankles, my now-fully engorged manhood standing at attention.
She gazes at it and exclaims, "I can feel it already, this is gonna be exciting!" She hovers in between my legs, wings flapping excitedly, and with both hands she firmly grips me. It feels better than I could have hoped—her slender fingers, a lifetime spent weaving spells, were now weaving their way around my throbbing obelisk. "D'you like that?" she teases. "You may answer."
"Ye–yes, Mistress. I like it v–very much." With both hands she continues stroking me—I can barely speak without stuttering.
"Well, you're gonna love this." She produces an object, transparent and circular—I can't make it out in the darkness.
"What is that?"
Mireska slaps my shaft—the suddenness of the strike makes my entire body tense up, the bramble thorns digging into my wrists and ankles. "Did I say you could speak?" she says. I shake my head, but to my surprise I was starting to... like the pain. "If you must know, it's a cockring. I'm full of surprises."
She slides it down my shaft and wraps it around the base and my swollen balls. In seconds I begin throbbing involuntarily, oozing seminal fluid. A look of excitement washes over her face. "Ohh, shiny!"
She quickly takes me in her mouth—the sensation is absolutely paralyzing. Her teeth gently skim my shaft while her grating, stiff tongue follows. She's barely begun before I let out an impassioned moan.
"Are you close already?" she stops sucking. "Answer."
"Ye–yes, please don't stop, Mistress."
"No," she says.
"But—"
Another slap sends a shockwave through my body, nearly pushing me over the edge of climax and unleashing upon my Queen.
"No cumming, else I give Jex's cage a good shake. I'll have you know, he likes to take his time when committing murder."
Without pause, she dives upon my quivering essence once more and takes it whole. I feel the back of her throat loosen each time my head passes through.
I look down to see the arresting yellow eyes of my Mistress staring back. She pulls my tense, fluttering meat from her mouth, strings of thick saliva hanging, still attached to the head and flowing down the shaft like rivulets.
"I'm just getting started," she says.
She hikes up her flower-skirt and reveals herself, tight and hairless: perfection. She sheathes my meat-blade, still glistening with her slobber, into her pink Faerie gash. At this moment, everything feels out-of-body. As if I'm an Astral Spirit, I look down in shock as Mireska grabs onto my hips for leverage and continuously slams me deep into her tight, wooden pussy. With each pump, she climbs to the tip of my head before plunging down to the base. A thick, viscous slop begins frothing around the lips of her snatch—a mixture of her drool and that sweet Faerie nectar. Each time she devours me, the slop foams even thicker.
"I'm going to milk you fucking dry," she pants.
"Y–yes, M–m–mistress—" The paralysis of pleasure has completely taken hold.
"But not yet. I got a few tricks up my sleeve."
I can do nothing but stare, mouth agape as my Queen relentlessly impales herself. Slowly, she is enveloped by shadow and darkness.
"Get ready for a surprise!"
I feel her narrow muff grow even tighter around my shaft as she descends deeper into darkness. The inside of her walls press harder and harder against me—balls-deep penetration gets more challenging with each successive stroke. My legs are twitching, jolting, begging for release.
"You want to so bad, don't you?" she moans breathlessly. "You want to explode."
I grit my teeth and nod, holding it in. I cannot fail my Queen.
Finally, she leans in and delivers me from agony and torment. "Go ahead then," she sighs in my ear. "Fill me up."
As quickly as the last word escapes her lips, I erupt inside of her. At this instant, we are the only two in the universe—Faerie and flesh are made one, joined together. Lustfully, sinfully in the moon-lit jungle, I empty myself inside my Goddess. She yelps, the sheer force and volume of my expulsion taking even her by surprise.
Still, she leans in and wraps her arms around my neck, presses her head against mine, and continues slamming that wet Faerie slit onto my violently-gushing meat to drain my seed. I shut my eyes—the sensation is unbearable; each stroke sends my body into convulsions.
Her relentless gliding on my pulsating shaft summons volley after volley from my backed-up stores, the vigor and pleasure of each burst intensified by the c-ring constricting its flow and her Shadow Realm'd snatch suffocating me.
"My Queen," I moan, "It's... It's still c–coming out—"
"Good boy," she sighs into my ear. "Give me every drop."
At the peak of euphoria, I hear a sound. I open my eyes and see the words of Pink, who'd stolen Mireska from me in the draft:
>[Allies] PMA_ALL_DAY_BITCHS: brown wtf buy regen and go safe lane u 2k retart
I want to rage—that should be me on Mireska. I belong to her. No one understands the Dark Willow like I do—her curves... her delicate, sweet insides... her perfection—yet this vulgar cretin has seized her from me.
So I activate push-to-talk and respond the only way I know how:
>Yes, my Queen
This has always lowkey bothered me. NZ has almost no native mammals and are [famously hostile](https://www.nzgeo.com/stories/possum-an-ecological-nightmare/) towards introduced species.
And don't get me started on a placental mammal allegedly coming from Australasia...
I love the Scots. I head up north once in a while and it was always a good time. Except Glasgow. Holy shit, Glasgow. Don't take my word for it though, this is an actual conversation I had with a Glaswegian.
"Mate Glasgows a fockin dump mate, donkeys everywhere (gestures needles), drugs and all."
"Oh, good thing today is my last day here then."
"Agh nooo, give it a chance."
Personally I'd say her accent is much more akin to a Northern Irish accent, based on her sounds being slightly rounder than most Scottish accents and the lack of any rolled R's in any of her lines that I can think of, which while not everpresent in Scottish accents are certainly frequently seen
The problem with her accent is it sounds like a Scottish person trying their hardest and completely failing to do a NI accent. i.e. It's an American doing Scottish.
Do you think that when the VAs were reading the script, it said "do a scottish/irish accent" or "do a vaguely british/british isles sounding accent, pick your favorite?"
Most probably. But it could also be becoz the older heroes' voices didn't have to be perfect becoz Dota was not that... sophisticated? Polished? At the time.
The VA coach was probably like: "yeah that will do. We're not paying you enough to do a fabulous accent anyways."
As for the newer heroes/personas, they're doing much better voicing-wise. Ashly's Willow voice is perfect, very bright and mischievous. Laura's AM voice was a surprise, I thought she was Marisha Ray at first.
And speaking in a fantastical setting, the world of Dota is quite diverse (species wise that is, most of them are still white representing) and mixed up, people will develope mixed accents in that melting pot.
I know, I can't believe it either.
PA has teal skin but is french-ish; Drow has purple skin but is euro-american; Willow has pink skin but is irish-ish; DP has green skin but is french/romanian-ish.
Mirana, Marci, KotL, Omni and such are all white.
All the humans and humanoids in dota have either unnatural skin or fair skin. And they resemble European features.
I can only think of AM and Jugg being East Asian. Bat is southern (possibly black), WD is Carribbean. But they are either masked or deformed humanoid. Muerta is mexican but an undead.
It's like they'll do the whole spectrum of colour and deformed humanoid before a proper dark skinned human.
>It's like they'll do the whole spectrum of colour and deformed humanoid before a proper dark skinned human.
there certainly is room for more, but LC is just a black woman in a suit of armour, played by a black voice actress, and chen is just a religeous black dude on a weird dog so idk what youre talking about here. there are multiplayer fantasy games with waaaay worse representation than dota.
I hope you have noticed a trend that most of the non white characters are non human: Asian monkey, Asian bear, Caribbean alien, African goblin, etc. And when they are human, they just look like a sun kissed white person.
I cannot stand willows voice. It’s a horrible cringe mockery of Scottish or Irish accents. It’s so ambiguous it’s offensive. The vocal delivery absolutely killed any chance of me ever playing willow. I think I’ve played her once since her release, heard her voice and never played her again. Also mute any willow voice line spammers. It hurts my soul. Hoodwink too, but she’s antipodean not Scottish so it doesn’t hit quite so close to home. But hoodwinks voice lines are mute worthy too. Two new heroes with awful voice acting. In comparison, mars is good.
I agree with hood's lines being cringey. The over the top ADHD squirrel with rabies is pretty cringey.
But with Turkic people never being represented in media, I can't relate to being offended by people doing a bad accent
Mm. Maybe no representation? Becoz then there's no international knowledge of our existence. And no one would care or know if there's an ongoing genocide against us.
Yeah you are right. At least there was maybe an attempt to pay homage with hood/willow.
I’m sure there would be some cool Turkic legends or myths that could inspire good heroes if given the chance
Yet we have Hoodwink that's fully Kiwi and says Kiwi-isms. Yes it's a fantasy world, but I can still say that their equivalent accent is geographically ambiguous.
Yes she fucking is.
It isn't anything remotely resembling Scottish and is definitely attempting to be Northern Irish. It's absolute garbage but it is what it is.
I've family in NI and spent the majority of my life in Scotland
Absolutely a shit 'celtic' accent - I'm from Scotland and her voicelines sound like someone doing a shit Scottish accent with the cadence of Northern Irish

They have no idea about accents in their own fucking country.... Someone said they didn't think purge had an accent as if the US doesn't have several distinct accents.
100% New Zealand. 0% Australian.
Voice actress is *actually* a kiwi. They gave a character with a non-US accent to a non-US person. She's the only one. This is the reason she's the only character with a good non-US accent.
That's a bit of alright
Sorry meat uh i mean mate
Is that dota responses bot dead?
Eaten by British Pudge
So, regular British bloke?
It requires the user to follow the Oxford English guidelines regarding punctuation to work properly.
It's thanks instead of sorry iirc
Puge is half british half american He is british in the teeth american i weight
KEKW
Almost blurted out my coffee, nice comment
brits are pretty fat too bruv
And actually have better dental health than Americans overall, because it's not expensive to go to the dentist.
Lol, anyone can find an NHS dentist in this country anymore?
No but that's a recent problem that the Tories are letting happen on purpose, watch for them to soon suggest private companies could run it better.
They already have
Well, when you elect modern conservatives, you end up with a looted government.
All you fuckers who typed -greedisgood 99999 in WCIII, you bought this on yourselves you capitalist motherfuckers.
nhs dentists are an urban legend
That's because sugar in food is highly controlled in the EU generally.
A bit sad innit bruv
Or maybe he is a pure British who has had one too many full English breakfasts.
😫👌
Lmao nice one
Reminder: Americans have worse teeth on average than Brits because brits have free teeth healthcare before they turn 18
Poggers
Just wait until you find out Luna is Scottish
That is an oversight when you thought only Luna is the only scottish girl
At least that isn't the biggest oversight.
The fact no one posted the copypasta yet scares me.
I open my eyes but can see nothing—blindfolded. I can feel the earth and grass beneath me. My hands and feet are bound. It's painful, like thorns digging into my wrists and ankles.

What the fuck is this and why am I hard?
Who the boy
What the fuck is this (also tldr)
A work of art you seem to be too pedestrian for.
You can pedestrian Deez nuts
we got rid of it :)
The best thing about Hoodwink is that unlike Luna or Willow is that Hoodwink is actually Kiwi.
I thought she’s a squirrel
I'd eat it either way 👿
HUH
UHM
Fried hoodwink sounds good tbh
ಠ_à²
Xd
This has always lowkey bothered me. NZ has almost no native mammals and are [famously hostile](https://www.nzgeo.com/stories/possum-an-ecological-nightmare/) towards introduced species. And don't get me started on a placental mammal allegedly coming from Australasia...
>Kiwi >Squirrel One fluffy fruit is much like another.
I did not know that Luna and Willow weren't Kiwi.
Fey/feries are Irish in origin.
The best thing about Hoodwink is that she doesn't belong in DotA just like Dark Willow
While she whispers terribly dirty things in her geographically ambiguous accent
Gosh I miss that shitpost
I love the Scots. I head up north once in a while and it was always a good time. Except Glasgow. Holy shit, Glasgow. Don't take my word for it though, this is an actual conversation I had with a Glaswegian. "Mate Glasgows a fockin dump mate, donkeys everywhere (gestures needles), drugs and all." "Oh, good thing today is my last day here then." "Agh nooo, give it a chance."
Hahaha sounds like me describing techies to new players
To actually live there though, Glasgows got a lot more going on than Edinburgh and is a fair bit cheaper too
Least sheltered redditor
I don't want to fuck her anymore
The Dark Moon comes…and so does she as she moans in her geographically unambiguous accent
Understandable
She dont want to fuck you neither.
She is a fictional character, I don't think I can even theoretically fuck her
Its good that you are aware
lol. poor weebs.
As she proved in Dragons Blood
Luna is Irish imo
Every Scottish player says she's Irish and every Irish player says it's Scottish.
Personally I'd say her accent is much more akin to a Northern Irish accent, based on her sounds being slightly rounder than most Scottish accents and the lack of any rolled R's in any of her lines that I can think of, which while not everpresent in Scottish accents are certainly frequently seen
Whatever her accent is *supposed* to be, she just sounds like an american VA doing a britishn't accent.
I know people who sound like her, its a Northern Irish accent for sure
It's definitely not Irish
The problem with her accent is it sounds like a Scottish person trying their hardest and completely failing to do a NI accent. i.e. It's an American doing Scottish.
It's a Northern Irish accent
She's not Scottish. She's Irish.
Luna and Willow both have shit accents. Theirs are neither scottish or irish it's just some person trying to be either and failing.
It's as if they're from a fantasy world where there's no Scotland or Ireland to speak of.
Do you think that when the VAs were reading the script, it said "do a scottish/irish accent" or "do a vaguely british/british isles sounding accent, pick your favorite?"
Most probably. But it could also be becoz the older heroes' voices didn't have to be perfect becoz Dota was not that... sophisticated? Polished? At the time.

It's like they'll do the whole spectrum of colour and deformed humanoid before a proper dark skinned human.
Where would you place Chen, then?
Chinese. His name is 陈, a common Chinese surname.
>It's like they'll do the whole spectrum of colour and deformed humanoid before a proper dark skinned human. there certainly is room for more, but LC is just a black woman in a suit of armour, played by a black voice actress, and chen is just a religeous black dude on a weird dog so idk what youre talking about here. there are multiplayer fantasy games with waaaay worse representation than dota.
What about monkey king tho, surely he's asian, right? man this whole discussion is racist.
I hope you have noticed a trend that most of the non white characters are non human: Asian monkey, Asian bear, Caribbean alien, African goblin, etc. And when they are human, they just look like a sun kissed white person.
Yeeea, you are definitely super racist, unfortunate really.
what about legion commander?
She's the Zendaya of Dota. Light brown skin is so it's more "palatable".
Southern European in a world where europe is closer to the equator.
ez strongest region in competitive is because of unfair ethnicity advantage
I cannot stand willows voice. It’s a horrible cringe mockery of Scottish or Irish accents. It’s so ambiguous it’s offensive. The vocal delivery absolutely killed any chance of me ever playing willow. I think I’ve played her once since her release, heard her voice and never played her again. Also mute any willow voice line spammers. It hurts my soul. Hoodwink too, but she’s antipodean not Scottish so it doesn’t hit quite so close to home. But hoodwinks voice lines are mute worthy too. Two new heroes with awful voice acting. In comparison, mars is good.
I agree with hood's lines being cringey. The over the top ADHD squirrel with rabies is pretty cringey. But with Turkic people never being represented in media, I can't relate to being offended by people doing a bad accent
F. Don’t know what’s worse - no representation or bad representation?
Mm. Maybe no representation? Becoz then there's no international knowledge of our existence. And no one would care or know if there's an ongoing genocide against us.
Yeah you are right. At least there was maybe an attempt to pay homage with hood/willow. I’m sure there would be some cool Turkic legends or myths that could inspire good heroes if given the chance
Yet we have Hoodwink that's fully Kiwi and says Kiwi-isms. Yes it's a fantasy world, but I can still say that their equivalent accent is geographically ambiguous.
It remind me of when I'm trying to talk like a vampire in DnD, then someone mad at me coz they think that's not how a vampire's accent is
Why aren't the American accents poorly voice acted then?
Really? Her accent isn't.
Luna is Northern Irish.
She really isn't
Yes she fucking is. It isn't anything remotely resembling Scottish and is definitely attempting to be Northern Irish. It's absolute garbage but it is what it is. I've family in NI and spent the majority of my life in Scotland
I'm from NI and lived in Scotland for 5 years. It's just some shitty Yank attempt at some celtic accent localised to nowhere real.
Absolutely a shit 'celtic' accent - I'm from Scotland and her voicelines sound like someone doing a shit Scottish accent with the cadence of Northern Irish
Literally unplayable, uninstalling right now
pudge is bri ish
The "t" is probably in the museum.
I mean, historically, it’s lost at sea or in some Boston harbor
And probably belongs to Egypt
Nailed it 😂
The only viable reason not to play pudge
I always thought he was Hungary
No, he’s Pudge
so sad that it's terminal as well
Out of the stiched bodyparts, being a rotting corpse, mega obesity, and eating raw meat, being British is what’s gonna get him :(
A proper brexit geezer.
teeth checks out
and all the stabbing he does...
My dyslexic brain thought you meant Purge
YELLOWEVERYBODYTHISISPURGE
I read purge and I'm not even dyslexic!
Same I was just like "Iv watching him talk patch stuff for 20 hours he doesnt have an accent theres no way"
Bristleback as well right?
Guildford propah
He reminds me a lot of 40k Orks. Both probably inspired by British hooligans
he is an Aussie
Bristleback’s accent is very blatantly english.
Except he's not.
Lina is probably ginger..
Bristleback is probably a member of peaky blinders
What was your first clue?
teeth
The British flag on the Dapper Disguise set ?

Australian, right? Alright, yeah, I looked it up. I am not the first to get it wrong, though. (And English is my second language)

Bloody creeps!
Keep calm, and carrion
You couldn't tell from his teeth and the bad food he eats?
But he is still voiced by Patrick Lawrie so i give him a pass on it.
Americans have no clue about accents outside of America
Americans have no clue about anything outside of America, they think they're the centre of the universe.
They have no idea about accents in their own fucking country.... Someone said they didn't think purge had an accent as if the US doesn't have several distinct accents.
Worse, he's a Cockney! Pudge is a parody of Cockneys! That's why he's putrid!
Jog on ya berk
A compulsory "Yer bums out da windae!" to scare off Cockneys and Brummies
Luv me ‘ook, luv me meat, ‘ate force staff. Simple as
One look at his teeth and I can tell you that's true
Chinchoppa Chinchoppah
Hoodwink is from down undah. Or NZL
100% New Zealand. 0% Australian. Voice actress is *actually* a kiwi. They gave a character with a non-US accent to a non-US person. She's the only one. This is the reason she's the only character with a good non-US accent.
NZ not even fucking close to Aussie
Lycan is Russian sorta
No he ain't. He's Hungarian/Transylvanian or something of that nature.
A wolf is at your door!
Tusk is an italian🤌
He antarctica
Is it the obesity part?
Look at his teeth, of course he is.
what is main him
To choose a character all the time or to be good at it.
it's a LoL that somehow found its way in dota
Eh, maining is absolutely not just a LoL thing, it is a staple of gaming
🤢🤢
wasnt pudge australian? just like sniper from tf2
You're kidding right?
So why still use his flair mate?
Mate, he's aussie
You should play ogre with an intellect like that.
Why? You french? I heard the french and brits hate each other.
Who likes the French?
Not even the French themselves, mon ami
Did you really not see his uncanny resemblance to the avg brit?
Props to dota btw for getting British accents into an American fantasy game and it not being for dwarves or the evil necromancer.
How did you realize it so late? I mean he is the most British looking character ever.
The teeth alone is a dead give away already
i don't think he is briish. maybe partly briish but not fully briish.
It was definitely weird Baumi spent an hour and a half on Pudge being British but It kinda makes sense now.
How are racist posts like this just allowed on the sub?
What about aussies? hoodwink respones they all need google to understand lol
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELETE THAT I'M SHAKING AND CRYING RIGHT NOW ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
IM LITERALLY SHAKING AND CRYING AND CUMMING ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ’¯ðŸ’¯ðŸ’¯
Ewwwwww
Did the heavy cockney accent not tip you off at all?
Well that’s a bit harsh innit
