BIOGRAPHY.

tw: death, drugs, violence

born in austrailia the only child ( not for lack of their parents trying ) to loving parents. most of their younger years were spent outside as much as possible. their mother constantly trying to wear them out. bash doesn't remember much of it, but they do remember being happy then despite how long ago it feels now. at twelve years old their parents were granted entry to japan, little did they know this would be the beginning to their end.

bash doesn't know if their parents had links to the criminal world or they were just caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. either way, bash returned from school one day to find both of their parent's bodies lifeless amidst a gruesome scene. law enforcement didn't do anything, at least that's how bash felt. then again, they didn't stick around very long to find out if there were any further leads. instead they opted to slip into the darkness of the city, rather than be placed in government care. it was cold there and for the first time in their life, they were alone.

it took awhile for the fifteen year old to adapt and learn. bash had always been swayed more to delinquent behavior. on fact their mother used to say they were ninety percent mischief and ten percent sunshine. stealing food, clothes, and pickpocketing anything valuable to pawn off later in hopes of getting a room somewhere out of the cold. eventually they got better, great in fact. on top of that, they'd started to make a network which ( even if the acquaintance didn't last ) gave them a steady couch and bed surfing rotation leaving less time sleeping on concrete and keeping one eye open. ultimately, they learned how to survive.

it was on the night they failed to survive that their life flipped on its axis and they found light in the darkest of places. bash ripped off the wrong person, a yakuza who immediately sent people after them to teach them a lesson. bash received the beating of their life ( no really, they almost died! ) and was left to be devoured by the hungry vermin they shared the street with. that's when that light showed up. lux took pity on them for whatever reason and helped them to a place that could replace ruptured organs and the arm hanging on by a thread. they got them in with mara as a dealer and wouldn't you know it? they were damn good at it. who knew they had so much knowledge about substances locked away in their head? certainly not bash and they were good at moving product, only getting better over time.

they still live life recklessly on the edge, not looking to move from their position ( even in the worst of times like when lux got locked up ). all they want to do is have a good time, never slow down long enough to think, and shake things up.

QUICK CONNECTIONS.

clients and regulars that buy from them ( they prioritize their best clients to the top of their list )

people trying to mess with mara

casual encounters, friends with benefits, hateships

party friends, club regulars, squad

chaos twin

rivals either in the gang or not

more found family, street kids they knew back in the day

people they annoy or hates them because they're insufferable to them

HEADCANONS.

bash is a cuddler and shows affection through touch. will drape their six foot frame over someone and curl up in their lap like a giant cat for a quick nap.

doesn't like to sleep alone ( and still has no home of their own technically ) instead they store stuff with the people they trust and continue to sleep on couches, in beds with people ( platonic or not ), or at parties. they prefer to go to bed with someone close by or wrapped up in at least one person.

more to come.

The Antoine Doinel Cycle

Jean-Pierre Léaud in The 400 Blows (François Truffaut, 1959)

Cast: Jean-Pierre Léaud, Albert Rémy, Claire Maurier, Patrick Auffay, Georges Flamant. Screenplay: François Truffaut, Marcel Moussy. Cinematography: Henri Decaë. Film editing: Marie-Josèphe Yoyotte. Music: Jean Constantin. One of the unquestioned great movies, and one of the greatest feature-film directing debuts, The 400 Blows would still resonate with film-lovers even if François Truffaut hadn't gone on to create four sequels tracking the life and loves of his protagonist, Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud). There are, in fact, those who think that the last we should have seen of Antoine was the haunting freeze-frame at the end of the film. But Antoine continued to grow up on screen, and perhaps more remarkably, so did Léaud, carving out his own career after his debut as a 13-year-old. (It's hard to think of any American child actors who were able to maintain a film career into adulthood as well as Léaud did. Mickey Rooney? Dean Stockwell? Who else?) Having Truffaut as a mentor certainly helped, but Léaud had an unmistakable gift. He is on screen for virtually all of the 99-minute run time, and provides a gallery of memorable moments: Antoine in the amusement-park centrifuge, Antoine in the police lockup, Antoine on the run -- in cinematographer Henri Decaë's brilliant long tracking shot. And my personal favorite moment: when the psychologist asks Antoine if he's ever had sex. Léaud responds with a beautiful mixture of surprise, amusement, and embarrassment. It's so genuine a response that I have to think it was improvised, that Truffaut surprised Léaud with the question. But even so, Léaud never drops character in his response. This praise of Léaud is not to undervalue the magnificent supporting cast, or the haunting score by Jean Constantin. It's a film in which everything works.

Jean-Pierre Léaud and Marie-France Pisier in Antoine and Colette (François Truffaut, 1962) Cast: Jean-Pierre Léaud, Marie-France Pisier, Rosy Varte, François Darbon, Patrick Auffay, Jean-François Adam. Screenplay: François Truffaut. Cinematography: Raul Coutard. Music: Georges Delerue. Four years after he made The 400 Blows, Truffaut was asked to contribute to an anthology of short films by directors from various countries to be called Love at Twenty. As he had with the first film, Truffaut drew on his own experience, an infatuation with a girl he had met at the Cinémathèque Française. And since Léaud was available -- he had worked with Julien Duvivier on Boulevard (1960) after completing The 400 Blows -- it made sense for him to play Antoine Doinel again. A narrator tells us that Antoine had been sent to another reform school after escaping from the first, and that this time he had responded well to a psychologist: After leaving school, he has found a job working for the Phillips record company and is living on his own. Then he sees a pretty young woman at a concert of music by Berlioz and falls for her. Colette (Marie-France Pisier) is not much interested in him, but she is evidently flattered by his advances. Her parents like Antoine and encourage him so much that he rents a room across the street from them. (Truffaut had done the same thing during his crush.) But one evening when he comes to dinner at their apartment, a man named Albert (Jean-François Adam) calls on Colette and she leaves Antoine watching TV with her parents. It's a droll little film, scarcely more than an anecdote, and the stable, lovestruck Antoine doesn't seem much like either the rebellious Antoine of the first film or the more scattered Antoine of the later ones in the cycle.

Jean-Pierre Léaud in Stolen Kisses (François Truffaut, 1968) Cast: Jean-Pierre Léaud, Claude Jade, Michael Lonsdale, Delphine Seyrig, Michael Lonsdale, Claire Duhamel, Daniel Ceccaldi. Screenplay: François Truffaut, Claude de Givray, Bernard Revon. Cinematography: Denys Clerval. Production design: Claude Pignot. Film editing: Agnès Guillemot. Music: Antoine Duhamel.

The Antoine of Stolen Kisses is in his 20s, but has reverted to the more haphazard ways of his adolescence: He has been kicked out of the army, and now relies on a series of odd jobs to get by. But he has also renewed acquaintance with a young woman he met before going into the army, Christine Darbon (Claude Jade). Like Colette's parents, hers are quite taken with Antoine, and they help him get a job as a night clerk in a hotel. He gets fired from that job after helping a private detective who is spying on an adulterous couple, but the detective helps Antoine get a job with his agency. While working for the detective agency, he has to pose as a clerk in a shoe store, and winds up in a liaison with the store owner's wife, Fabienne (Delphine Seyrig). When that ends badly, he becomes a TV repairman, which brings him back to Christine, with whom he winds up in bed after trying to fix her TV. At the film's end, a strange man who has been following Christine comes up to her and Antoine in the park and declares his love for her. She says he must be crazy, and Antoine, who perhaps recognizes his earlier infatuation with Colette in the man's obsession, murmurs, "He must be." Stolen Kisses is the loosest, funniest entry in the cycle, though it was made at a time when Truffaut was politically preoccupied: The film opens with a shot of the shuttered gates of the Cinémathèque Française, which was shut down in a conflict between its director, Henri Langlois, and culture minister André Malraux. This caused an uproar involving many of the directors of the French New Wave. Some of Antoine's anarchic approach to life may have been inspired by the rebelliousness toward the establishment prevalent in the film community. But it's clear that the idea of a cycle of Antoine Doinel films has been brewing in Truffaut's mind: There is a cameo appearance by Marie-France Pisier as Colette and Jean-François Adam as Albert, now married and the parents of an infant.

Claude Jade and Jean-Pierre Léaud in Bed and Board (François Truffaut, 1970) Cast: Jean-Pierre Léaud, Claude Jade, Claire Duhamel, Daniel Ceccaldi, Hiroko Berghauer. : François Truffaut, Claude de Givray, Bernard Revon. Cinematography: Néstor Almendros. Production design: Jean Mandaroux. Film editing: Agnès Guillemot. Music: Antoine Duhamel. Antoine and Christine have married, and they have settled down in a small apartment. (There's some indication that it's paid for by her parents.) She gives violin lessons and he sells flowers -- carnations, which he dyes, using some environmentally questionable potions. But settling down isn't in Antoine's nature, and when Christine gets pregnant he looks for more lucrative work. He finds a curious sinecure in a company run by an American: Antoine maneuvers model ships by remote control through a mockup of a harbor. ("It gives me time to think," he says.) One day, a Japanese businessman comes to see the demonstration, accompanied by a pretty translator named Kyoko (Hiroko Berghauer), and Antoine is soon involved in an affair with her. Naturally, this precipitates a breakup, though by film's end they have seemingly reconciled. Still, it's obvious that the marriage is not destined to be permanent. They can't even agree on a name for their son: She wants him to be called Ghislain, and he wants to call him Alphonse. Antoine wins out by a trick: He's the one who goes to the registry office to legalize the boy's name. Antoine also spends time writing a novel about his boyhood, to which Christine objects: "I don't like this business of writing about your childhood, dragging your parents through the mud. I don't know much but I do know one thing: If you use art to settle accounts, it's no longer art." Truffaut had his own regrets about the portrait of his parents in The 400 Blows. Less farcical than Stolen Kisses, Bed and Board still has a strong vein of comedy tinged with melancholy.

Claude Jade and Jean-Pierre Léaud in Love on the Run (François Truffaut, 1979) Cast: Jean-Pierre Léaud, Marie-France Pisier, Claude Jade, Dani, Dorothée, Daniel Mesguich, Julien Bertheau. Screenplay: François Truffaut, Marie-France Pisier, Jean Aurel, Suzanne Schiffman. Cinematography: Néstor Almendros. Production design: Jean-Pierre Kohut-Svelko. Film editing: Martine Barraqué. Music: Georges Delerue. Truffaut admitted that he wasn't happy with the final film in the cycle. It's a bit too heavily reliant on flashback clips from the four earlier films, and if it's intended to show that Antoine has finally stabilized now that he's in his 30s and divorced from Christine, it doesn't quite make the case. He has a new girlfriend, Sabine (Dorothée), his novel has been published several years earlier, and he works as a proofreader for a printing house. He's on friendly terms with Christine, and agrees to take their son, Alphonse, to the train station when the boy leaves for a summer music camp. At the station, he runs into Colette, now a defense lawyer, who is on her way to confer with a client -- a man who has murdered his 3-year-old boy. Perhaps a little too coincidentally, Colette is involved with Sabine's brother, Xavier (Daniel Mesguich), and she has bought a copy of Antoine's novel to read on the train. Antoine impulsively boards the train, and sets up a meeting with Colette in the dining car, after which she invites him back to her compartment. All of this sets up a series of revelations: Colette's marriage to Albert broke up after their small daughter was killed by a car. She claims that she supplements her small income as a lawyer by prostituting herself with men she meets on trains. Antoine finally made peace with his mother after her death when he met her old lover, M. Lucien (Julien Bertheau), who persuaded him to visit his mother's grave. (There is a flashback to the scene in The 400 Blows when Antoine, playing hooky, sees his mother kissing a strange man on the street.) Antoine became infatuated with Sabine after hearing a man in a phone booth arguing with a woman on the other end of the line and then tearing up her photograph. Antoine picked up the pieces from the floor, put them together, and after some sleuthing, discovered the woman was Sabine. His marriage to Christine finally broke up after he slept with her friend Liliane (Dani), who he previously had thought was having a lesbian relationship with Christine. And so on. The result of all the flashbacks and revelations is not to round out the Antoine Doinel saga, but to make Love on the Run feel over-contrived.

The Chaos Crew

hello and welcome to me explaining/talking about my aus:

today's au is: the Chaos Crew

~~~

this started out as a dinky little idea presented to me by my good friend @galaxysanduniversesinmymind. their idea was, "what if Street from S.W.A.T., Deeks from NCIS, and Buck from 9-1-1 knew each other" and then spiraled from there as we added more and more fandoms. the first fic was posted in January of 2021 and a year and a half later, now has 6 other writers and 38 fics with more planned.

let me tell you, if you'd told me two years ago that a universe I made would blow up so much, I'd laugh because nothing I've ever made has ever blown up like that.

the Chaos Crew universe was originally named 'how two LAPD officers and one firefighter accidentally become the most powerful people on earth' and mostly featured S.W.A.T.'s Jim Street. then, as I branched out into other shows, it gained more and more stars. galaxy started writing a chat fic and truthfully, it only went uphill from there.

if I'm honest with myself I couldn't have done this without galaxy or another friend of ours. this universe grew out of my control and I'm happier for it. so, in honor of 1 and a half years (a totally real anniversary I definitely didn't just make up) here's a bit of explaining what the CC is:

the CC refers to the universe of the Chaos Crew. it also refers to the Chaos Crew consisting of 12 members well versed in creating and survived chaotic situations.

the twelve members are: Jim Street (S.W.A.T.), Marty Deeks (NCIS: Los Angeles), Evan "Buck" Buckley (9-1-1), Matt Casey (Chicago Fire), Jay Halstead (Chicago PD), Will Halstead (Chicago Med), TK Strand (9-1-1: Lone Star), Christopher LaSalle (NCIS: New Orleans), Nick Burkhardt (Grimm), Nick Torres (NCIS), Diego Hargreeves (Umbrella Academy), and Clay Spenser (S.E.A.L. Team)

they have a group chat called Chaos Incarnate, which we'll sums up their interactions and their daily lives. the CI chat has a sister group appropriately named the Chaos Caretakers, nicknamed the Caretakers chat. this chat is for the people who take care of or care for a person in the CI chat.

the people in this chat are Chris Alonso (S.W.A.T.), Eric Beale (NCIS: Los Angeles), Josh Russo (9-1-1), Kelly Severide (Chicago Fire), Adam Ruzek (Chicago PD), Greg "Mouse" Gerwitz (Chicago PD), Connor Rhodes (Chicago Med), Judd Ryder (9-1-1: Lone Star), Sebastian Lund (NCIS: New Orleans), Monroe (Grimm), Jimmy Palmer (NCIS), Klaus Hargreeves (Umbrella Academy), and Brock Reynolds (S.E.A.L. Team)

this is also a Soulmates universe. there are three types of Soulmates: romantic, platonic, and familial.

~

ships include:

The S.W.A.T. Polycule (Jim Street, Donavon Rocker, Victor Tan, Bonnie Lonsdale, Chris Alonso, Erika Rogers)

Densi (Marty Deeks/Kensi Blye)

Calic (Eric Beale/G Callen)

Russley (Evan Buckley/Josh Russo)

Sevasey (Matthew Casey/Kelly Severide)

Mousestead (Jay Halstead/Mouse Gerwitz)

Buruzwater (Adam Ruzek/Kim Burgess/Kevin Atwater)

Rhodestead (Will Halstead/Connor Rhodes)

Tarlos (TK Strand/Carlos Reyes)

Jace (Judd Ryder/Grace Ryder)

Monrosanick (Nick Burkhardt/Monroe/Rosalee Calvert)

Palmtorrezzo (Nick Torres/Jimmy Palmer/Tony DiNozzo)

Lundkingsalle (Christohper LaSalle/Sebastian Lund/Dwayne Pride)

Patchgreeves (Diego Hargreeves/Eudora Patch)

SpiritWitch (Klaus Hargreeves/Elijah Mikaelson)

Reynser (Clay Spenser/Brock Reynolds)

~

Soulmate bonds work quite similarly to a telephone game. Romantic Soulmates get thoughts and feelings, Platonic Soulmates might be able to catch what you thinking and they can feel what your thinking, familial bonds are muted feelings and work of those feelings alone.

the distinction between Soulmates isn't quite clear, sometimes you end up dating your Platonic Soulmate or someone in your familial bond. most people find their Soulmates, but some people don't have Soulmates or don't want a relationship beyond friends or any relationship at all.

a good example of this is Julie and the Phantoms. Julie and Luke are Romantic Soulmates, however, Julie is dating Carrie while Luke is dating Alex and Reggie.

I’ve been journaling a little bit in my phone about the albums I listen to every day and am going to be foisting that info upon y’all.

9 May 2023:

Rainbow Boy - Keiynan Lonsdale, 2020:

🌟 4/5. Would recommend. This is an energetic and experimental pop/hip hop/R&B album that explores themes of black queer identity and takes time to celebrate it along the way. Standout track: “Gay Street Fighter”

Minako - Minako Yoshida, 1975

🌟 5/5. Highly recommend. A beautiful example of the Japanese new music genre of the 70s, this album uses soul, city pop, and jazz elements. It made me want to curl up with a good book or write letters to old friends. Standout track: “移りゆくすべてに”

The Fabulous Shirley Bassey - Shirley Bassey, 1959

🌟 4/5. Would recommend. A classic early release from the iconic Dame Bassey, this is a solid album of pop and jazz standards. Makes you want to visit a coffee shop or watch old Hollywood films. Standout track: “’S Wonderful”

Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman, 1988

🌟 4.5/5. Definitely recommend. This is a a revisit for me, and it still doesn’t disappoint. If you haven’t listened to it beyond the hit single “Fast Car,” you should, as it’s an exemplar of political folk and roots rock. Standout track: “Baby Can I Hold You”

Taking the Long Way - The Chicks, 2006

🌟 2.5/5 Recommend if you’re a fan of Y2K country or the Chicks. I will probably have to go back a give this one another listen to form a more solid opinion. It was good, but it didn’t stand up as strongly to the other albums I listened to today nor the earlier (or later) releases by the Chicks. Standout track: “Lullaby”

A YOUNG CAROLINE

Caroline Hodgson’s story doesn’t begin in Australia but in Germany, where she was born in 1951.[1] At the age of twenty she married George Studholme Hodgson and that same year the couple migrated to Melbourne, Australia.[2] Studholme was reunited with his brother and the two began a short-lived business together before John moved to Sydney.[3] Caroline had formed a close friendship with Studholme’s sister-in-law Elizabeth Jane and the two maintained correspondence throughout the years that followed.[4] Less than a year after their migration, Studholme gained employment as a policeman in Victoria and was stationed out in Mansfield as a mounted constable.[5]

Caroline did not follow her husband and instead remained in the city running a boarding house, under the 1870 Married Woman’s Property Act, she could legally own property separately from her husband.[6] Prior to entering the sex-work industry, Caroline was a member of the middle-class and was well aware of the stigma surrounding prostitution but the lucrative nature of the trade clearly persuaded her.[7] An early photograph (shown above) shows her in a simple dress, resting on the ledge of a balcony with a look of innocence about her. She looks quite young and exudes femininity with her tight locks gathered into a bow and a choker made of velvet adorning her neck.[8]

Caroline was just over the age of twenty one when she launched her first brothel in 1873, in the following decade she purchased the two adjacent properties and all three were located on Lonsdale Street, within Melbourne’s thriving sex work district known as Little Lon.[9] She also owned a home in St Kilda and two cottages in Middle Park.[10] During her separation from Studholme, there were rumours Caroline was involved in a relationship with composer Alfred Plumpton but nothing was ever proved.[11] She had no biological children, her only daughter Irene Hodgson was adopted but rumoured to have been fathered by Plumpton.[12] If that were to be true her adopted status may have been fabricated as a means of protection from scrutiny and shame but it is also possible that Irene may have been the child of a prostitute working for her mother.[13] Caroline kept her daughter far away from the district of Little Lon, Irene lived at her mother’s property on York St, St Kilda.[14]

Studholme and Caroline reunited in 182 when he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and she put him up in one of her properties, giving him a peaceful escape in which to spend his final years.[15] Perhaps it was due to his wife’s generosity that Studholme made amendments to his will just two months before he passed, revoking a request for £1000 to be given to Agnes Chatsworthy, his carer, and assigned the sum to Caroline instead.[16] Upon Studholme’s death on February 7 1893 Caroline Hodgson received a total of £1907 in currency, valuables and shares.[17] Two years later, she married again but the union was short-lived and she divorced Jacob Pohl after 11 years.[18]

By 1874 Caroline Hodgson was going by her sobriquet ‘Madame Brussels’, perhaps it was inspired by the city she and Studholme visited on their honeymoon, a reminder of a future interrupted by her migration to Melbourne.[19]

they call it meet-cute (maybe it should just be a meeting)

read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/0CNwrRx

by MadHare0512

"They call it a meet-cute," she whispers, lips curling around the words as they pull into a smile. A soft chuckle slips from her mouth easily, as if it hadn't been a conscious decision made. "Well," she continues. "Maybe, it should just be a meeting."

Best Wood Fired Pizza in Canberra

Nothing brings friends, family and colleagues together better than a good slice of pizza. And nothing is more authentic than wood fired pizza — cooked in an oven that burns wood instead of electricity or gas.

If you’re looking for some of the best pizza in Canberra, there are plenty of options to choose from. Here’s a guide to some of the best places to go.

Grease Monkey

The newest addition to Braddon’s Lonsdale Street, Grease Monkey brings Brooklyn’s old school vibe to the neighbourhood. Originally a refurbished Repco car service workshop, owner Socrates Kochinos isn’t afraid to dish out old style burgers, shakes and jam donuts here.

Authentic wood fired pizza that’ll make Nonna proud. They throw their pizzas in the wood-fired oven daily and stay true to traditional flavours, with no more than four toppings per pizza.

SoLita

A stalwart of Canberra’s Lonsdale Street, this Italian deli is the place to go for wood fired pizzas and other pastas with a meaty twist.

The restaurant is open Mon-Fri, and Sat-Sun for lunch and dinner. Located in the arts district, SoLita encapsulates the spirit of the Italian nation, with a menu full of gastronomical delights to whet your appetite and satisfy your belly.

Powered by wood, this place does it all — from traditional and experimental pizzas to pasta and beer. The most impressive is the display of a swanky new bar area with high end cocktails, a burgeoning craft beer selection and some pretty spectacular pizzas (see what we did there). SoLita has to be in your top five for best wood fired pizza canberra restaurants!

Mama Dough

If you’re after the best pizza in Canberra, look no further than Mama Dough. Located in the cozy strip next door to Edgar’s at Ainslie shops, Mama Dough serves freshly made wood fired pizza from an imported Forno Bravo oven.

It’s the latest venture from well-known restaurateur Frank Condi, the hospitality brain behind Edgar’s, Shorty’s, Public and clubs including Academy and Mr Wolf. The small space seats six inside and 22 outside.

The pizzas are simple and straightforward, featuring a range of classic toppings. But there’s also a section of ’unusual’ toppings, including zucchini cream, sausage chips and smoked mozzarella.

Pizza Gusto

Pizza Gusto provides wood-fired pizza and calzones plus dessert toppings. Crafted in a compact shop with outdoor tables, this quaint little spot is an authentic Italian pizza joint that’s sure to impress.

The pizzas here are impressive — and the ‘rustica’ topped with fior di latte, rosemary, potato and gorgonzola may well be one of the best we’ve had in Canberra.

It’s also got an impressive wood-fired oven that churns out the food in record time, making it a popular choice with locals looking for a quick bite to eat or a light meal after work. The menu includes a range of healthy and organic drinks to go with your pizzas, too.

Dickson’s Mozzarella & Co

A hidden gem in the ACT, Dickson’s Mozzarella & Co is one of those places you would never know about unless you’re looking for it. Located in the heart of Chinatown this slickly designed bar and dining room abounds in cool decor, a snazzy wine list and a well-executed menu.

The oh-so-drool worthy drinks and food menu is accompanied by a state of the art kitchen, making it one of the best places to grab an aperitif or two and a bite to eat. The most impressive piece of kit is their ginormous oven. The best pizza in Canberra can be had from their alfresco wood fired pizza counter, with an array of toppings to choose from.

Department of Pizza

The charming little pocket of a place has been a hit since opening in August last year. It wows with its sourdough bases and hard to find wines, set up in the bustling Campbell Shops.

Inside is warm and minimal, with an uncluttered long narrow dining area. The simple small paper menu has a choice of 11 pizzas and three starter options of flatbread.

Their dough is lovingly made daily using a 35-year-old sourdough starter. The team believe in simple and traditional flavours, finding no more than four toppings per pizza.

Caretakers Cottage in Melbournes CBD crowned one of the best bars in the world

A tiny bar in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD has been crowned one of the best in the world – but you might have never heard of it. Caretaker’s Cottage is located on Little Lonsdale Street in Melbourne and is a very small, modest bar located in a beautiful old cottage. It has just taken out a place in the World’s 50 Best Bar long list, which ranks the 100 best drinking spots across the world each year. Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >> Caretaker’s Cottage made it to the 60th spot, which is no small feat, especially when the bar has only been open for six months. “Not bad for a little pub on the far side of the planet,” the owners posted to their Instagram page after the win. “A huge thank you to everyone who has helped and supported us over the years. We genuinely would have given up without you all. “Business as usual, nothing changes. Maybe just a bit more champagne tomorrow.” Caretaker’s Cottage serves up modern classic cocktails with a twist in its tiny space, which is just two rooms. A week after the long list was dropped, the World’s top 50 Best Bars were revealed on Wednesday. Maybe Sammy and Cantina OK! in Sydney made it into the 29th and 41st spots respectively. The top spot went to Paradiso in Barcelona. $4.99 ALDI wine wins top prize at international wine show Popular chef blown away by Coles’ new ‘basket on wheels’ – but there’s a catch Play Video NZ Police caught posing as window washers to catch people on their phones.

oooooh all the q's

Hello anon! I’m guessing you mean the wlw + mlm asks so here it is!

1. describe your crush / partner.

I’m not really crushing anyone right now tbh, just hanging out with friends and trying new things.

2. describe your perfect date.

The simple answer, going to a brewery and playing board games. I love any competitive activity tbh but with the right vibes, we could also go walk around the streets and have deep talks. maybe lay down at the beach or a park and look at the sky.

3. describe your dream house.

I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS SOOOO MUCH but thats also because its a near life goal right now. Anyways room#1 a game/ hangout room to watch tv, read, play board or console games, and work lol cant forget about working. Then room#2 would be a guest room with a murphy bed to save space. Room#3 would be my bedroom with a closet with enough space to separate my clothes and gear. The livign room would have what i like to call a scream box, basically these like conference call soundproof phonebooths but could also be used to scream the stress. Bc i have a whole bunch of stuffed animals from family and friends, i want to build a claw machine to store them and thats like another gaming device in my house. The kitchen i actually havent thought that much about but i think i want a lot of counterspace and idk how else it would look like rn. The garage would store all my gear and the camper van i would use for adventures. I would also like a grass patch in the front but theres no more space in the bay area so the park will do. OHHH and a straight roof or patio to watch the skies.

4. describe your dream life.

i see my life with two lifestyles: one like a day job, where most of the week I'd work during the day and hang out with friends afterwards or chill at home and wind down; another full of adventure - hikes, climbing, camping, some day trips to hang out somewhere. some combination of that with friends and we kinda just keep doing that.

5. describe your ideal partner.

Someone to do most of my hobbies with, to challenge and grow together. Kinda someone that I can continuously learn from in any aspect. I really enjoy having people around me just doing our own things together so things like that.

6. morning cuddles or night cuddles?

Night cuddles

7. big spoon or little spoon?

Little spoon

8. hugs or kisses?

Hugs

9. walks on the beach or walks in the forest?

Walks in the forest

10. sitting on your partner’s lap or them on yours?

Them sitting on my lap

11. favourite lgbt movie?

Imagine me & you… soooo cute

12. favourite lgbt book?

I actually don’t really read that many books but I love a good enemies to lovers, fake dating, soulmates angst. I’m in the middle of We Are Okay by Nina Lacour. But I did read a lot of fanfic and there was this soulmate AU with a name tattooed on each wrist and you don’t know which one is a platonic soulmate and which one is a romantic soulmate.

13. favourite lgbt character?

Fictional, Laura Hollis. Real, Hayley Kiyoko
