Henry's band just had their breakthrough year and they're heading to Coachella for the first time, as headliners.
Alex has supported this band since the beginning, when they were still making doing covers and filming their busking performances.
Henry's music found Alex at his lowest point, when his dad left him without a word. Henry's songs and lyrics helped Alex get through the tough times, finding solace in the way Henry references Arthur.
Alex has never thought to make himself noticed, but Henry has always looked in the crowd for a certain fan that shows up at every show.

I've reached season 5 on my CSI rewatch and I'm a few episodes past "Swap Meet", where a woman is murdered after attending a swing party with other couples from the neighbourhood. Near the end of the episode there's a moment that made me jump from my seat:
(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two cups. He hands her a cup of tea.)
[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - BRASS' OFFICE]
Erin Brady: Everybody fantasizes about other people. (She glances at Grissom.)
Even you, Mr. Grissom. A neighbor, a friend ... girl at the office.
[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - HALLWAY]
(The door opens. Paul Brady walks out of the hallway. Erin Brady walks out into the hallway. Sara is sitting in the hallway chair watching them. She watches as they meet and kiss.)
(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two culps. He hands her a cup of tea.)
LIKE!!!!!!!
Right after Erin ends her sentence with 'girl at the office', the first time Sara and Grissom meet again, he brings her tea. This might be an innocent interaction but to me it seemed like a nod to this relationship they have where both are into each other, know about the other's feelings, but can't/won't do anything about it (although Sara has kind of given Grissom an ultimatum). I don't know if it was intentional - I'm guessing it is, because I picked it up immediately. I might or might not have squealed in delight.
#csi#gsr#i'm very Normal about them btw i don't think about them 50 times per day or anything#need to talk more about these two here#because im obsessed about them in a Normal way#sara is like. my dream wife. i totally get grissom being in love with her for years and barely holding it together#i would not though#i'm 1000% sure she's bi. but the writers have been cowards so far#also she and i dress THE SAME. yes i love 2000s clothes so what#i could talk about her forever she's everything to me#and grissom. oh grissom. i also get why she's been in love with him forever#i mean what the FUCK went down in san francisco did they hook up and sex was so good it scared them#and now they have to live with that tension and they're scared of crossing that line#nah i'm guessing with these two they just REALLY clicked. like. they were an instant match and they knew it#but grissom didnt want to lose focus on work or whatever and they lived in separate states you know#but oh my god i totally get sara. grissom is such a silver fox. he's like one of the hottest old men i've ever seen in my life#you know what i 100% get tumblr sexualizing old men it's completely valid i'm in this now too#he has this LOOK. whenever he's angry at a suspect. and he looks angrily at them. i'm chewing on my keyboard just remembering it#and his smirks#AND THE WAY HE LOOKS AT SARA#im losing my mind#i love all of gil grissom but seasons 4-5 jesus fucking christ#ok enough with the sexualizing i love him as a character SO MUCH. he's absolutely fantastic#one of the things i love the most about him is that he doesn't judge people. whenever the team is confused about someone#or this persons' lifestyle#he's always trying to understand them and not judge them#like a true scientist he wants to understand the nature of things and people#and he's such a sweetheart i love him so much#like there are so many things i love about him i can't fit them all in the tags. same for sara#they're a perfect match for me

It's hard to pick a worst book because the thing I'd judge that on is whether all the stories are memorable and whether anything actually happens in them. Like, that anon who said all the Skarloey Railway books were mid? Those books do have a lot of stories that seem to be trying to make a brief stop on the rails a lot more of an event than it actually is. In fact, there's so many Skarloey Railway stories like that that I often confuse them and have to actually go back reference them to make sure I've got the narrative straight.
However, most of the books will have one or two good stories and then one or two of these goldbrick stories alongside. And that's true all the way through the series. So it's hard to say which one is the worst because almost all of them are like that.
But since you did ask specifically and I can follow directions, I'm going to go with The Eight Famous Engines since it has three stories that are about almost nothing. "Percy Takes the Plunge" is a nice solid outing, but "Gordon Goes Foreign", "Double Header", and "The Fat Controller's Engines" all feel like they have to be there to pad this thing out.
More than the question of which of his books is the worst though, maybe we should consider that Awdry himself was just not that good a writer. He was good at collecting trainedotes and putting his characters faces on them. And that's a fine skill to have, but a good book it does not necessarily make, as Awdry Jr.'s additions to the series go on to prove...
Damn, DJ sees "I'd like to nuke six whole books from orbit at once" and raises it to "Can Wilbert Awdry even be said to write?"

Dernière Danse
In progress | post-canon | post The Queen of Nothing | fluff and angst | drama
With the threat of a revolt against the High Queen, Jude and Cardan's peace is at an end. She wants to solve the problem in person, but Cardan can't allow Jude to risk her life. Marriage is about trust and understanding and love helps to overcome difficulties. But everything gets harder when there's always someone conspiring against it.A story of adventure, jealousy, intrigue, fate and curses.Not all fairy tales have a Happily Ever After. But they are all about true love.
Please, Come Back and Tell Me You Still Love Me
In progress | modern au | angst with a happy ending | a shot with 3 chapters
“If you want to go, then go, I won’t stop you.” Cardan managed to say, treacherous voice sounding hoarse, Jude’s hands gripping the door handle. “But if you go, know that you need never come back, forget I exist. Forget everything.”
Please, come back. Please, let go of that damn door and tell me you still love me. Come back to me, Jude.
He pleaded in his mind for a long moment where she remained motionless.
Then Jude turned the knob and walked away without looking back, the door slamming with a bang behind her.
Fireflies
Completed | one shot | romantic fluff | post canon | post The Queen of Nothing | on tumblr
“I am the one who desperately wants you.” He stroked her cheeks in his long-fingered hand. “Say what you want and I’ll give you anything, anything you wish. If you asked me for the stars, I’d go up to the sky and knock them down for you. I’d make the planet stop spinning, Jude. Just ask and I will give you everything I have and steal what I don’t have.”
“I don’t wish for anything. All I want is you. It is more than enough.” She slid her fingers under his chin and pulled him to her, their mouths intertwining effortlessly.
Cardan steals Jude from the feast to show a surprise. Based on the deleted scene from The Queen of Nothing.
The Bodyguard

When Jude Duarte was given the task of protecting rising rockstar Cardan Greenbriar from a dangerous stalker, her intuition already told her it would be a tricky mission. But the capricious, irresponsible and annoyingly attractive boy seems to make everything even more difficult.
As if being threatened by a crazy stalker who wants to destroy his life wasn’t enough trouble to deal with, Cardan Greenbriar could never have imagined that having a scary bodyguard and a breathtaking girl would make him even more out of his mind.
None of them were prepared for what was to come.
Love, that force that compels us to be sometimes better and often worse

I don't not mean this offensively at all but is blows my mind that you are a lawyer but also writing jjk fics bc I work at a law firm and cannot for the life of me imagine any of the lawyers that work there writing fanfiction LOL kudos to u seriously I know how busy schedues can get due to court dates haha
im working in like. big city criminal law stuff right now and have been told by people in my office that i come off as a very deadpan and straight-laced legal nerd so i don't think the people who know me from my attorney life are imagining me writing jjk fanfic in my free time either

I wonder why ppl interpret sonic not jumping at the chance to kill an enemy as him giving "second chances" to bad guys who don't deserve it like eggman
#ramblings#yes that includes writers who worked on actual sonic media#like ian flynn. i like his work but this is one thing that keeps bugging me abt the way he writes sonic in the comics#i'm glad it doesn't seem to be transferring to the games he's working on#since he's working even more directly with sega now#like idk maybe the literal teenager just doesn't wanna kill ppl even if they do horrible things#also it's fiction with an audience of mostly children like. you can't expect it to go that far#and yeah he has Technically killed someone before with erazor djinn#but he's immortal so like. he's technically not dead maybe. just can't hurt anyone anymore#like i don't think he'd care if someone like eggman died in on of their battles#but he's not going out of his way to murder him#and it's not like he's just letting him go most of the time either. eggman is just good at making a getaway#sonic isn't judge jury and executioner. i doubt he thinks it's his place to kill someone as punishment for their crimes#he'd rather let nature do it. or let them die from their own hubris#but him not going out of his way to kill his enemies doesn't mean he's giving them a second chance#and expecting them to turn over a new leaf then being shocked when they don't every single time#he knows better than that#i don't think it's that complicated#like 'not wanting to kill ppl as a literal kid' and 'not forgiving ppl for horrible crimes' are two ideas that can coexist i think#him not wanting to kill doesn't need to be justified as him giving second chances or whatever

A Sunny day in Delacroix
A small ficlet for @samtember2022 Day 26 - Rainy day/cosy
Bucky is going on a picnic and Sam doesn't like it at all, but he has a plan and asks his friend for help.
"You need me to do what? " Thor must have missed something, because Sam sent him a message with their secret code for emergencies, and then dropped this on him.
"You heard me the first time" Sam, was already irritated with his friend because he knew Thor was going to drag this forever. Sam just needed him to do this, no questions asked, but that wasn't happening apparently.
"I did, but I'm still not sure what you meant by 'I need you to make it rain'...", Thor was pretty sure this didn't qualify as an emergency.
"Thor, I've never asked you for anything ever, please just do this one thing for me" Sam said softly.
"Sam..." Thor started.
But Sam was already interrupting him "If you can make thunder, technically, you can make it rain"
"That's not how it works Sam, you texted code red for this?? Code red is supposed to be for emergencies like an alien invasion, or half of the city being about to be blown off. Why would you need rain anyway? The sun is shining, you should be happy." Thor was still trying to make sense of this whole conversation
"This IS an emergency, Bucky just left, he's going on a date and I need to stop it", Sam said, as if Thor was supposed to understand what this meant.
"Sam, I'm going to need you to stop talking in circles, be straight with me"
"Bucky is going on a date"
"...and?"
"And I need to stop it, they're going on a picnic and I need to stop it" Sam responded.
"You're kidding me right?" Thor thought for a minute that he should pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming this conversation.
"Are you going to help me or not?" Sam said with determination. Thor was lost.
"Since when are you and Barnes an item?"
"We're not, I just don't want him going on dates with other people".
"So, what's your plan here, to sabotage all his dates for the rest of his life?"
"I haven't thought that far, I just need to stop this one before I can set up another plan."
"Sam, you do realize how insane this is, right?"
"Yes, I do. So, are you going to help or not?"
"Of course I am, Sam, I've never refused to help Captain America, and I won't start now, just know that I don't approve of this plan. But I support your nonsense for better or for worse". Thor said solemnly, being his dramatic self.
"Thank y.." Sam was only focusing on Bucky's date, he didn't care what Thor thought about his plan.
Thor interrupted him "But you owe me a dinner date, and I get to be the Best Man at your wedding if this crazy plan of yours works out".
"Dinner first, I don't know if Bucky feels the same way"
"Yeah, right", Thor said, already thinking about the Best Man outfit he would wear to the wedding.
____
Sam was sitting in the living room, when Bucky opened the door to their shared house, soaking wet, and looking better than he ever did with his wet hair.
"Oh, you're back already?", Sam asked innocently,
"Yeah, it started raining before I even got there, we had to cancel our date. The weird thing is weather forecast announced sun for the whole week"
"You know, the weather is so unpredictable"
"I guess" Bucky agreed.
"I was going to watch Rings of Power re-run, we can watch it together if you want, since you liked the Hobbit, you'll like this one".
"Sure",Bucky was looking forward to this cozy afternoon home. If he was being honest, he didn't even want to go on this date in the first place, but he needed to get over Sam, because this thing with Sam would never happen obviously.
Sam and Bucky settled on the couch and started the show.
"Do you want some popcorn?", Sam said after 2 episodes.
"Sure why not"
Sam got up and went to the kitchen to prepare the popcorn.
Bucky kept watching the show because Sam had already seen it and didn't need him to pause, but Sam's phone started vibrating on the table.
Bucky didn't mean to snoop or check Sam's phone, but a message flashed on Sam's phone and something caught his attention. His name. 
Bucky read the message quickly before it disappeared and it read "so how did it go with Bucky?" followed by a thunder and rain emoji. The most surprising thing was that the text was coming from Thor.
"You got a message" said dryly, when Sam got back.
"Oh, I'll check it later"
"From Thor" Bucky insisted.
Sam didn't say anything, and was a little afraid of checking his phone now, he didn't know what Bucky had seen exactly.
"You care to tell me why Thor is sending you texts about me, or will I have to ask him myself?" Bucky was getting irritated by Sam's silence.
"It's not what you think" Sam tried, 
"And what am I supposed to think?"
"I asked Thor for a favor, and he helped me"
"And the service involved me obviously, so I would need you to tell me a little bit more"
"I can't"
"You know what Sam, I never know what to think with you, you say we have to be open with each other and then you do this"
Bucky stood up to leave. 
"Where are you going?" Sam said as Bucky reached the door. 
"I'm going for a walk. I can't do this right now"
"But it's still raining" Sam pointed out.
"I prefer the rain than whatever this is", Bucky mumbled, he didn't know what to think and was on the verge of tears, he didn't want Sam to see him like this.
"Bucky please", Sam pleaded, but Bucky was already out the door.
Sam grabbed a coat and an umbrella and went to look for Bucky.
It took Sam a while to find Bucky. He was walking by the docks, looking like he was lost in his thoughts.
Bucky slowed down when he saw Sam but didn't stop walking.
"Bucky, listen, I'm sorry",
"What are you sorry for? Sam, I don't even know what's happening. I just know that you're keeping secrets from me when you're the one who insisted best friends tell each other everything" Bucky sighed "You talk about me behind my back and I know that you would never do that to me, but I can't help but make up dozens of scenarios about how somehow I upset you and you felt like you couldn't talk to me, and had to confide in Thor instead". Bucky took a deep breath.
"Sam. If you have a problem with me, just tell me, I can handle it, you don't have to vent to your friends, I'm not some fragile child you have to tiptoe around, just tell me and I'll fix it.
"Bucky, I don't have a problem with you, you're perfect"
Bucky blushed at that, he hated when Sam talked like that because he always ended up craving for more "Then was is it?"
"I asked Thor to make it rain"
"What?" Bucky suddenly felt like they had switched to a completely different conversation without him noticing.
"I asked Thor to use his power to make it rain" Sam repeated "I knew your date was taking you to a picnic, and didn't want you to go, it made perfect sense to me at the time"
"You don't like Dave?" Bucky asked cautiously
"I don't care about Dave, but I care about you"
Bucky remained silent, not sure he understood.
"I'm so sorry Buck, when I thought about it it made perfect sense in my mind, but I realize now that it doesn't. I wasn't thinking, I panicked, I just knew I had to stop you from going on that date, and I lost it a little"
"What are you saying Sam?"
"I'm saying I love you, Bucky"
Bucky smiled and launched himself at Sam, because he had been waiting for this moment even though he never dared to hope that it would actually happen. Sam caught him and they kissed.
"You know, you're supposed to be the normal one in this relationship", Bucky said against Sam's lip, now that he had Sam all for himself, he had no intention of ever letting him go.
"We'll see about that," Sam smiled.
They walked home, finished the show, and both went to Sam's room instead of each walking to their own room like the previous nights.
Later that night, Sam sent a text to Thor saying "You'll be my Best Man for the wedding" and ended it with a wink face emoji.

for the ask game - I need to know what categories dabihawks and shigadabi fall under for u 👀
- @yinyuedijun
HI MAO I would be delighted!!!!! Thanks for the ask! =D
Shigadabi - Makes sense, compels me. Simple and clean. Actually tied with dabitwice as my favorite canon dabi ship
Dabihawks - THIS ONE IS LESS CLEAR. On one hand, there are SO many thematic parallels between these characters and I like the idea of pairing Hawks with loud emotional borderline manic characters to contrast his near terrifying control, so on one hand I wanna say Makes Sense, Doesn't Compel Me. But on the other hand, HORI NEVER FUCKING DID ANYTHING WITH THOSE PARALLELS!!!!!!!!! IT LITERALLY HOLDS ZERO WEIGHT IN REGARDS TO THE CANON CHARACTERS AND THEIR INTERACTIONS!!!!!!!! IT BUILDS UP TO NOTHING!!!! So in that case, I have to say Doesn't Make Sense, Doesn't Compel Me.
Unfortunately it will always be Doesn't Compel Me cause I do not like Hawks as a character specifically in regards to the canon. Idk how Hori did it, but he literally created a character that is literally Cop Incarnate, down to his patchy-ass goatee, and it REPELS me. It's like I've literally already been a room with this man irl and I could feel the slime from proximity.
(It doesn't help that Hawks has a lot of potentially interesting parts to his character, but Hori never takes them further than that. He's literally ONLY Cop Incarnate. Which is why I think I CAN be persuaded to read him in fic form, because sometimes those traits are explored and given the appropriate amount of screen time!!! So then he's still Cop but at least gets to be interesting about it!!!!!)
(also the dabihawks/dabixhawksxreader fics I have read have been.....................................................................................we'll say juvenile, to be nice)
(on that note, I will say that the porn that comes from those two is hot as hell!!!!!!!!! They be puttin them boys in situations!!!!!!! 👀👀)
Stick a ship in my ask box and I'll tell you which of these options it is for me!

I’m extremely excited and happy to announce that the enrollment for the Sansgust event is officially open!!!
What is the Sansgust event, you ask? It is an event very heavily inspired by the Papy-ly event, which was centered around Papyrus(es) and Papyrus ships, but this time we’re going to focus on Sans(es) instead!!
So the wonderful @msmkcreates, the fantastic LB (on Twitter) and myself have teamed up to host this event which will focus on Sanscest, Sans/Reader and Sans/OC, where you receive tickets for every fic you write, that are then turned into chances to receive some amazing prizes!!!
👉 To be a part of the event, you need to join the Sansgust server, so make sure to DM one of our mods before the end of this week!! (either me, MsMK or LB on twitter!!)
👉 You must join the event with the intent to write at the very least 1 fic of 500 words.
👉 This is an 18+ only event!! You don’t HAVE to write anything explicit, but we ask that all participants are 18+, and we ID check those who ask to join the server! (Let us know if you’ve been ID checked before during another event!)
You have until this Sunday, July 31th to join the server! The event will start on August 1st and ends on August 31st!!
If you have any question, feel free to contact one of us mods, or check out the Papy-ly FAQ, it’s litterally quite the same rules but basically replace all instances of ‘Papyrus’ by ‘Sans’! XD
👍 Sans solo, Sanscest, Sans/OC, Sans/Reader, AU (UF!Sans, US!Sans, etc...), UTMV (Ink, Cross, Nightmare, the Bad Sanses, etc...) are all accepted!!

Tell me if you would you read this book idea:
There are five high schoolers who are both popular and queer. The cis hets are asking them out all the time and they’re tired of it. They band together to figure it out. But they eventually realize that their real problems actually have nothing to do with being popular or queer.

For Time Never Was An Illusion
Silence! We demand tranquility,
We demand peace, no more.
The battlefield groans under
The weight of our sins;
Get up! Ask for her forgiveness,
Repent! For our sacrilege must
Have us bear the consequences.
There are days when one thrashes,
Bemoaning the discontent of 
The ultraviolence for the holy grail.
Behold! For dreams were never 
Made of gold, 
Were never meant to be sold,
At the cost of your glory;
Were never made from a mold,
Their destiny, never foretold.
Were they vain or simply futile, 
Remains by time cajoled.
Forget! For time never does.
And when our time comes,
There will be redemption.
Never wait! For neither does 
The ticking hand of the clock,
The chime of midnight 
Sounds every day in our dreams
And unleashes our demons.
Persevere! For unbeknownst to 
Even the guileful destiny,
Time bears the fruits of our trees.
~ Cole E. Whittaker

Try + Simcoe
SEND  TRY + A CHARACTER  YOU’D LIKE TO SEE ME ( ATTEMPT ) TO WRITE ! / @wiedzmacienia
Tumblr media
The greatest debate amongst rulers and those in power tended to balance finely between kindness and cruelty. Was it better to be feared or loved? In Simcoe's eyes, he supposed the answer was both. A hellish upbringing with scathing words and grief tended to make fear and authority far superior in his eyes, and yet Anna -- Anna, with her eyes of ebony fire and soul to match -- had made him contemplate the possibility of being loved, as well.
This same woman had said with her sharp, eviscerating tongue that he was a man that only a mother could love... And yes. Simcoe supposed this could be true in most circumstances -- only, she hadn't. He didn't believe his mother had loved him; not truly, and she begrudged having to raise him on her own.
To Anna's fiery provocation, he had said, "Miss Strong, you misunderstand me..." He ensured everyone did. To understand someone, after all, meant they were all the closer to controlling him. And the day he allowed his control and his title, the two things he still held within his grasp, to slip free was the day he would stop at nothing to get them back.
