What Are We Doing?

The story of Kate and Anthony in Ruin

Strangers-to FWB-to Lovers.

"I don't have time for a real relationship. I'm finishing my medical degree, I do not-"

Anthony looked up from between her legs, annoyed that he had not distracted her well enough.

"That's fantastic. May I continue?"

...

Fresh out of Cambridge, Kate decided to go to London with a few classmates. Her last night of freedom before starting the medical part of her degree

Sitting at the bar, she noticed the handsome man next to her. He looked annoyed as the bartender listened to him rant about his sister's engagement.

"I feel bad for the man your sister is with," Kate snorted.

Anthony looked at her, "He was my best friend and my little sister!"

"If they love each other, then what's wrong with that? Scared she may get treated the way you treat other women?" Kate challenged. Most men were always terrified of that prospect.

But he smiled at her, narrowing his eyes in interest, "I will have you know, I am a perfect gentleman."

"I'm sure," Kate agreed sarcastically.

"I'm Anthony," He introduced, "See? Gentleman."

"Kate." She replied.

"What are you drinking to?" He asked, noticing her cocktail. As he moved closer, he inhaled the smell of her. Lilies. It was nearly intoxicating.

"I have just graduated. Starting medical training in September," Kate explained.

"Congratulations! That calls for a drink. On me." Anthony said. Sexy and smart? He liked her already.

"What about you?" Kate asked, seeing his glass of whiskey.

"I am... just drinking,"

"I'm sure that's just alcoholism."

They both grinned and laughed, "No, I, um, it's been a shitty few months. Fighting with my sister and my best friend. My fiancee broke up with me," Anthony took another sip, "I have everything but my life is a mess,"

"I'm sorry," Kate said genuinely feeling bad for him.

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine, I think." Anthony waved her off, "I have my family to focus on,"

"I get that. I always worry about my little sister." Kate agreed, "And my mum,"

"I have seven siblings to worry about," Anthony said and her eyes widened.

"Well then, I think we'll need more drinks."

They were still talking and drinking even as other patrons left.

"You are so bloody arrogant," Kate said to him.

"Never had a complaint before," Anthony said with a wink. He tapped his black card against the reader, "Come home with me?"

She raised an eyebrow but followed him out anyway.

That's how it started. Neither would say it meant anything. Merely two older siblings, who needed relief in their busy lives.

....

Kate finds out who Anthony is when they re-settle in Mayfair. For Mary, it was coming home after two decades to the house and estate her parents left her. She didn't exactly want it but she wanted her girls looked after.

"I love it!" Edwina ran inside the large house, Newton scampering behind her, "I get first dibs on rooms!" She ran up the staircase.

"It's like a mausoleum," Kate said. Mary wrapped her arm around her eldest.

"That was my parent's style." Mary agreed, "But we will brighten it up. I fear Edwina has already planned to paint the whole place yellow or pink."

"I'm so here for that," Kate said and they both laughed.

"Mary!" There was a sharp knock at the open door, accompanied by a cheery voice and a cheerful woman in a floral dress carrying two large cake tins.

"Violet." Mary grinned and hugged her old friend.

"I have brought cake. Victoria sponge, made by me." Violet gave her one, "And the other is full of cookies and macaroons, from that bakery," She clicked her fingers, "Anthony! Darling where is that bakery again? The one Eloise and Frannie love?"

"Near Hyde Park mother," A deep, familiar and amused voice followed by Anthony himself. He is holding a basket of flowers

Kate and Anthony stared at one another as their mother's chatted. He was her fucking neighbour?!

"Ah, this is my eldest, Anthony. Anthony, you remember Mary, do you not?" Violet introduced.

"Wow, the last time I saw you, you were so little," Mary gushed at the Viscount who smiled politely, "This is Kate, my eldest

"Amma, I called bagsy on the room with the view of the gardens! It has so much space for my books!" Edwina came barrelling down the stairs, smiling at the new people.

"This is my sister Edwina," Kate introduced her sister who smiled brightly at Anthony, "And this is Newton." The puppy barked at Anthony causing him to step back and Kate smiled, satisfied.

"Why don't I help you with your boxes? You can show me this room you've baggised" Anthony said to the younger sister who grinned and nodded, putting down Newton and dragging him with her.

"Oh, such a sweet man. But that's the Viscount. He still reads to Hyacinth before she goes to sleep. He can't resist helping a younger sister." Violet gushed to Mary.

"Viscount?" Kate asked, startled.

"Yes, darling," Mary confirmed, "Oh, sorry yes. Violet is the Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton."

"But please Violet because that is a mouthful." The women laughed, before walking through the house, discussing what Mary was going to do with it.

Kate hated him. Oh, she really hated him.

But it turns out disdain makes for great sex.

....

Marina knew. She had a second sense for her friend's well-being in every sense

When they were helping Marina paint the living room of George and her's new home.

Kate leaned back when she noticed her friend sniffing her, then scanning her with a critical eye.

"You're having great sex." Marina concluded, as she continued painting the mantle place.

Kate spluttered, "How do you-?! What are you, a sex sniffer dog?"

"Because as cute as that shirt looks on you, it's a few sizes too big and you smell like Tom Ford," Marina said. Then her eyes widened, "Which nepotism lawyer are you sleeping with?"

"None of your business!" Kate said defensively." Her friend simply smirked. She would find out, somehow.

In fact, when Kate and Sophie were going home, Marina texted Kaye:

"Anthony Bridgerton is a good choice. Proud of you x'

She was going to kill George.

....

After Sophie outed her at dinner, Mary wanted to talk to Kate

"Anthony Bridgerton," Mary hummed as Kate dried dishes and put them away.

"Mama..." She didn't want a lecture.

Mary laughed, however, "No, I don't mind it honestly. He would make a good son-in-law," She teased.

"We're just," Kate shook her, "It's not that serious, just a bit of stress relief. Neither of us have time for that,"

"You forget, I met your father when I just finished med school," Mary pointed out, "He had a charming little girl who he looked after, whilst doing his PhD, then remarried and we moved to a different country afterwards. Multi-tasking is in your blood, chellam"

Kate smiled, "Edwina-"

"Will come out when she's ready. It's not for us to worry about, not unless this girlfriend breaks her heart." Mary said and she had to agree. Her younger sister was a romantic. If she broke, she would shatter.

"You deserve happiness and respect," Mary said gently, brushing Kate's hair back, "Do you have that?"

She thought of how even after sex, they would watch something, playfight, order in or go out for dinner. Anthony knew her and she knew him.

"I do, amma," She whispered.

...

"Do you want to go to dinner?" Anthony asked her when she came by his penthouse in the evening. He was still in a suit,

"Uh, sure," Kate replied, confused. They usually had food afterwards.

"Great, I made reservations," He smiled

"Do I need to change?" Kate asked, looking down at her dress under her

"You look beautiful," He assured her sincerely. She always looked beautiful.

They walked down the busy streets of London. Anthony talked about his day, and how Gregory is doing better at school. Kate talked about her upcoming tests and that's when it hit her.

"Anthony." She stopped walking. He turned to her, concerned.

"What are we doing?" Kate asked, desperately.

"Going to dinner. You mentioned you wanted to try the place a few weeks back-" Anthony explained, confused by her questioning.

"Exactly! Why do we remember these things? Why do I know that you hate bees and that you secretly like sugary caramel lattes? Why do you keep the soap and the perfume I use at your place?" Kate asked, "What are

"Kate..." Anthony whispered, "I'm not good at this. I can't even pretend I am. I have a failed engagement. I'm not perfect. I know that. Do you want to stop?"

"No," Kate shook her head, "But I can't ignore how I feel and just.."

"So we can just be us." Anthony concluded, "But I'm not going to pretend that I don't feel strongly for you. That I seem to only be able to breathe around you. And this has always been more than sex."

She reached up and kissed him, her hands cupping his face. His hands wrapped around her waist, holding her close.

"So is that a yes?" Anthony asked.

"Come on, buy me dinner," Kate smirked, holding his hand. He grinned and they happily went.

hello my darling bella! i haven't send you an essay in a while so. hi 😌

firstly i have a book rec which i know doesn't make too much sense but just in case you find yourself needing a book i think you would really enjoy loveless and/or radio silence but alice oseman. both very much have a vibe of friendship is romance (or at least both are very focused on friendship) and that reminded me of you!

i also meant to ask if you watched falcon and the winter soldier yet? since all the eps are out?

have you ever listened to achilles come down? it's the current most likely candidate to become my most listened to song this year

how's the baseball season going? i only ever see bits of what you say in the club and it makes no sense to me so i thought i'd ask 🙈

ooh also i had a very interesting experience recently: was driving home and someone cut me off in a very shitty way and i honked at them. bc i am Me that was the first time in nearly 3 years of driving that i used the horn. so that was fun i'm very proud of it 😌

okii rambling time is over i love you!! -fiancee

A/N: Thank you so much for the prompt and the kind words! I hope you enjoy it! Thank you for every reblog, comment, and like. 

Pairing: Santiago ‘Pope’ Garcia x F! Reader

My Masterlist 

Last Night at the Party 

Unknown number: Good Morning. 

You: ...Morning...who is this? 

Unknown number: Santiago Garcia, ya know Frankie's friend. 

Fuuuuucccckkkkk

Santiago Garcia: Quick question...did we fuck last night? 

You groan and fall back into the bed, your hand thrown over your eyes as the sunlight fights to sneak through the crack in the curtains. Your head pounds from the amount of alcohol you consumed the night before. Frankie and his fiancé, not wanting to be apart even one night, had a joint bachelor/bachelorette party. 

You worked in the front office at the tour office. Frankie flew for and had quickly become fast friends. He was funny, sweet, and a wonderful friend. But with Frankie came Santiago Garcia, the man who stalked your dreams. He was handsome as fuck, with salt and pepper curls and deep brown eyes. His arms always straining against the fabric of his t-shirts. The man had an ass that was simply divine. Many a night, you had dreamt of kneading it in your hands as he slammed into you. 

But he never noticed you. Not at least in the way you wanted to be seen. You tried on the days you knew he would be coming by. Wearing tighter clothes or shorter dresses and attempting your best at flirting. The only thing gained by any of this was Frankie's amusement as he slung an arm around your shoulder and told you there were better men than Pope. 

That's another thing, the nickname; Pope. You once asked Frankie about it jokingly. Frankie told you it was because Santi in the army brought people closer to God, and all the women he fucked. You had just about given up all hope, till last night. 

********

The party was in full swing when you arrived—wearing a dark blue halter dress that stopped just above your knees, converse, and a black leather jacket. Frankie and his fiancee greeted you with a hug and gave you the rundown of the land. It was casual. They had rented out a private space in the local brewery. You could order anything on the menu and open bar. Thank fuck for that as you watched Santiago flirt with some redhead at the bar. 

You walk down to the opposite end, sit down, motion for the bartender, and ask for an IPA. You try everything in your power to keep from looking over at him, but your eyes stray without your knowledge. Gazing around at the way the denim hugs him in all the right places, the top buttons on his shirt opened up to see the sun-kissed skin peeking through. It's almost magnetic the way his eyes drift up to meet yours across the sea of strangers. You see him smile and turn back to his partner before he grabs his beer and heads over to you. 

"Is this seat taken?" his deep baritone snaps you out of your head, and you look at him, nodding. "You're the girl who works in Frankie's office, right? The secretary?" 

"Yep, that's me, the secretary," you take a deep drink from your beer and try to keep the passive aggression out of your tone, turning snarky instead. "And you're that guy who comes and talks to Frankie and interrupts my office with idle chit chat." 

He looks a little taken aback, but he brushes it off, grinning, "I never knew you had this much fire in you. What's your name?" 

You roll your eyes, "I have told you my name on four separate occasions, and now you want to know it again? Why don't you guess?" 

"Okay," he smiles, taking a drink, "how about ginger?" 

"I think your thinking about your friend on the other side of the bar," you laugh and gesture for another drink. 

"Fuck," he mumbles under his breath, going through a plethora of names, none of which is your own. You've finished two beers before he actually guessed your first name correct—each name sinking the knife deeper and deeper into your chest. 

"Ding ding ding, we have a winner," you sarcastically chime, and he smiles, a real genuine broad smile. Fuck him and his perfect smile. "With how many names you had to guess, I'm actually delighted you never noticed me. I'd probably have an STD." He spits out the drink in his mouth, coughing and patting his chest with his fist. 

He laughs, looking at you wide-eyed, "I do not have any fucking diseases. I get tested regularly." 

"When was the last time?" you can tell he's thinking back. 

"Tuesday," he says triumphantly, "and I haven't fucked anyone since then so." He takes another sip of his drink, grinning at you over the glass. 

"So if I wanted to fuck you, it would have to be tonight?" You casually sip your drink, staring at him, bold from the alcohol flowing through your system. 

He sputters and coughs again, choking on his drink. "Are you trying to kill me?" he puts a hand to his forehead and looks at you. "Are you serious?" 

"I want you to fuck me Santiago," you take his hand down the rest of your drink and pull him towards the back of the brewery. Your eyes connect with Frankie, and you give him a wink pulling a shit-eating grinning Santi behind you. He walks past you and pulls you into the cold night air of the alley. 

It was dark and deserted; the country music blaring from inside echoed off the exterior's red brick wall. For an alley, it was relatively clean. The sidewalk to the public wasn't visible from around the dumpsters. Not the most romantic spot, but when Santiago latched his lips onto the soft skin below your ear. The spicy scent of his cologne overwhelming your senses. 

"Does that feel good?" he whispers huskily in your ear, nipping the lobe lightly. The moan you release has him smiling against your skin, "that's a yes," he chuckles. 

"Stop teasing me," you whine as he gropes your breast through the thin fabric of your dress. He pulls away from your neck and tilts your chin up to look at him. 

"Do you want this?" he whispers, a ghost of his lips on your lips. 

You don't answer, only lunging forward and recapturing his lips in a moan. He uses the opportunity to sweep his tongue into your mouth. You fight in a battle for dominance that he eventually wins. His hands moving beneath the shell of your leather jacket and running over the smooth skin of your exposed back. 

He takes his time moving down to your cheek, your neck, and then sucking hard into the skin of your collarbone. You are sure to have bruises tomorrow, but at this point, you don't fucking care. His hands move further down and cup your ass before moving under your dress, sliding your panties down slowly, he unlatches from your sensitive skin. Dropping to his knees and groaning, pulling down your panties over your converse before pocketing them. 

He throws your dress over his head and dives into your folds, his tongue working against your throbbing clit. You grab the side of the dumpster as you feel the scuffle from his face, scratch against your thighs, as he rocks his tongue back and forth over you. "Fuck," you moan as you feel him slip one thick finger slide into your pussy. Your head drops back, hitting the brick wall. He chuckles, and the vibrations draw another deep moan from inside as you pant. 

The sound of the backdoor of the brewery opening snaps your head to the side. Your bottom half is covered from the dumpster, and you frantically hit Santi on the head. Still, he doesn't stop, instead adding a second finger, stretching you deliciously. Frankie's signature cap pops out into the alley, and he turns to look at you. You try your best to smile and bite down hard on your tongue, almost drawing blood as he sucks your clit into his mouth. 

"Hey! We're about to do speeches, and Santi's my best man. Have you seen him?" 

"N-n-no," you stutter, and Santi reaches a hand on your ass to push you even further into his mouth. "We came out here to talk, but he left like five minutes ago? Maybe he went out f-f-front." 

Frankie looks at you, questioningly, "Are you okay? You're acting kind of strange." 

You yelp, throwing a hand down on top of the dumpster with a laugh, "I am just fantastic, you know, if I see Santiago, I will be sure to tell him he's needed." 

"Okay, thanks," he throws out a wave going back inside with a click of the door. 

"Such a good girl," Santi chuckles from beneath your dress, and you feel yourself cum all over his tongue gushing around him as he adds a third finger pulsing inside you. 

You bite down hard on your lip, and he keeps licking and fucking you with his mouth. His nickname making more and more sense as you literally feel closer to God. You dig your fingers into his curls and pull his mouth away. Dragging him up to kiss you again, you taste yourself on his tongue, and it makes you even wetter. 

He steps back and unbuttons his jeans pulling out his cock. He's thick and rigged, the tip spewing pre-cum. He grabs his wallet and pulls out a condom making you giggle. "Hey, every good soldier comes prepared," he laughs, pulling it on. 

He pushes you back further into the brick, bringing your legs up around his waist and bunching your dress up. He lines himself up, and you look into his eyes, stifling a scream as he slams into you. You've never felt so full in your entire life, clenching around him as he starts to slowly rock into you. 

You converse crossed against his back as he kisses you again slowly and passionately. Not the quick fuck you thought he would give you. For the location and the time, it was strangely intimate. "Are you okay?" you pants against your neck. 

"Yes," you gasp as he hits inside you just right, "just, please don't stop." He pulls away from your neck and kisses you again, licking into your mouth. 

"Don't worry, baby, I'm gonna treat you right." He picks up the place and reaches down between you to your sensitive clit rubbing it in time with his thrusts. 

"Oh fuck, right there, Pope," you moan, and he picks up the pace. The brick digging into your back as he furiously fucks into you. Your orgasm slams into you without warning, and you tug on his curls, throwing your head back as you stile a scream. 

"Yes, cum for me," he praises you through a second orgasm. Three more thrusts and he's cumming, biting down on your exposed shoulder as he groans. You both come down from your high, and he pulls away, smiling at you. You laugh at his mused hair, lipstick smeared across his face, he looks freshly fucked, and you feel a sense of pride knowing you did that to him. 

The awkward, you've just fucked a mutual acquaintance in an alley moment comes faster than you anticipate. He pulls out and ties off the condom throwing it in the dumpster and pulling up his jeans, relatching them. You straighten your appearance the best you can. Running your fingers through your mused hair. You search the alley floor for your panties hoping to throw them away or better burn them when you hear a whistle. 

Santi is standing before the back door holding your panties on the crook of his finger and smiling. "I have to go back and give my speech, but after… I would really love to buy you a drink. Maybe we can go back to my place for another couple of rounds?" 

You bite your lip, nodding, and he smiles, pocketing your panties and going inside. The door latches, and you sigh, closing your eyes and trying not to freak out. The door slams open; you jump as Santi runs back out and closes the distance kissing you again. The kind of kiss you feel down to the tips of your toes. He places his forehead against yours. "I really want to see you again, don't run away, okay?" he whispers before kissing you again and running back inside. 

**********************

You look at the text message again. The perfect night of passion with Santiago, and he doesn't even remember if you...The phone chimes again. 

Santiago Garcia: I'm a moron. I don't know why I said that. I know that we did. It was one of the most incredible moments of my life. 

You: Then what the fuck, Santiago?

Santiago Garcia: I want to take you to breakfast, on a date. It's the least you could do after bailing on me last night. 

You: Well, I'm not sure I want to. 

Santiago Garcia: Well, that makes this awkward. 

You: What?

Lots of fun in the details, but the full picture is rubbish.

MORE INFO (and potential spoilers) UNDER THE CUT:

Passing the Bechdel:

Echo rescues Adelle.

Female characters:

Echo.

Adelle DeWitt.

Sierra.

Male characters:

Alpha.

Victor.

Paul Ballard.

Boyd Langton.

Topher Brink.

Clay Corman.

Matt Cargill.

Joel Miner.

OTHER NOTES:

DeWitt has a tiresome exchange with a psycho-analyst imprint in Victor, regarding externalised masculine sexuality vs female sexual repression. I’m sure they felt like they were being insightful but really it’s a paper-thin observation with no analytical depth and they might as well have not bothered since they aren’t going to follow up on exploring the concept (doing so would probably require them to finally talk about the ‘soft misogyny’ the show has been embracing unchallenged all this time, and we couldn’t have that kind of self-awareness now, could we?).

“’Not tonight honey, I have a headache’ isn’t really one of the excuses we allow our actives.” What you’re referring to is the denial of consent, DeWitt. That’s one of the several things that make it rape. 

Oh look, another one of those queer romances, referenced but never seen. So when I say ‘oh look’, I am being completely figurative, of course.

Matt booked Echo more than once last year, bros. We saw that douche twice last season. Anyway, I’m not that worried about all these rich rapists getting Alpha’d. Good riddance.

Oh yay. Lets protect Joel Miner; we all know that his rape crimes are totally ok because he was sad, remember? I wonder if he told his new fiancee about how he used to hire a sex slave to be his dead wife?

...why doesn’t Alpha kill Miner? Why would he break pattern on that instead of just slitting his throat and then moving on to Ballard? I mean, other than the fact that this show loves Joel Miner and wants us to think he’s a nice sweet dude who deserves to have his rape fantasies fulfilled.

“Huh. When did you die?”

Alpha smacks Echo around. Five of eight (I’m pretty sure Echo managed not to get hit by the prison guards last episode...she didn’t have a good time, but I think she managed to avoid being knocked about. Probably?). 

Guess how glad I am to see Miner go off to his happily-ever-after with Echo/Rebecca’s blessing. Guess.

Listen. Alan Tudyk is delightful. Like pretty much this entire cast (except certain key players, unfortunately), he’s fantastic, charismatic, and extremely watchable, but the content he’s handling is not rising to meet his talent level. Why is Alpha now jealously killing off Echo’s previous romantic engagements? Why now? What has he been doing? Why is his obsession with Echo the only part of his character that really seems consistent? What is the actual point of him besides being obsessed with Echo, anyway? Last time he was around he was an intense misogynist raging about the nature of his existence and the betrayal of his former self who handed him over to the Dollhouse to be used, and I was pissed that they fucked up the opportunity to have a serious existential discussion or to air legitimate grievance, due to the fact that they lacquered misogynistic violence all over the top of it and completely distracted from any real point in the process (story of this entire show). None of that other detail is in evidence here, and while I’m happy to have Alpha behaving less overtly woman-hating, discarding the two primary aspects of his character which were intrinsic to his identity (such as it was presented) in order to just keep the ‘Echo is special’ crap is...crap. That’s not how you do characterisation, and this is a waste of Alpha. Unfortunate as it is to make a slash-happy misogynist your primary conduit for existential discourse, that’s what they did, but I guess they decided they didn’t need Alpha for that now that Echo is ‘taking over’ (even though her taking over has involved next to zero exploration of her self-actualisation, it just happened and that’s it now. About this, I have already registered my displeasure). Anyway; at least Ballard getting brain-fried is a twist.

TRR Chapter 14: Hana’s mom can just go straight back to hell from whence she came

General thoughts: 

All the Tangled references are appropriate this week because Hana is Rapunzel, Lorelai is Mother Gothel, and I’m throwing her over the balcony myself. 

Ok a little dramatic but oh man. I AM PEEVED. 

let’s try this again

Ok, so. This was a hard plot to resolve. Not even MC could talk the Lees out of being stubborn and listening to no one. So finally Hana found a way to take action and show her parents she could stand on her own to get past their fear and convince them she’s not doomed out here in the wilds. 

And it ties back into the reoccurring thread of this book, which is that you can get farther with friendship and allies than you can by trying to stubbornly go things alone. 

Biggest issue: Ima chalk it up to pacing: Hana’s victory and plot get swept past pretty quickly for a moment with your LI. :/ 

...Which, granted, was a really good moment! That diamond scene was fantastically done and definitely one of my faves. ♥

Alright, let’s get more into it! This post turned entirely into blahblahblah about Hana’s plot so jump in for that ride.  For reference, my MC is Riley and she’s romancing Maxwell, and I’ll probably have more about that later.

if you know anything about me, two things I am ALL ABOUT are HEISTS and DEFENDING MY FRIENDS. 

(In elementary school, I was quiet and painfully shy up until the point when someone tried to bully my friend within earshot, and then the school would have to call my mom because I didn't yet know how to channel those emotions into anything except STRANGLE. Maybe somebody should've taught me about heists! ...Wait no stealing is bad.)

Except when your friend's parents are being awful and unreasonable and not LISTENING

OH man. Just arranging these photos made me so angry again. These two are barely invited to my wedding. The back table with cold soup for them!!!

Lorelai might get most of my ire, but Xinghai isn’t coming off much better. 

Last week I guessed from all his sad sprites that he would be the weak link here, that we’d have to win him over to convince him to grow a spine and convince his wife to back off!!! but that isn’t what happened and I am kinda glad they didn’t go that predictable. 

But hooo man. These two have been having a one-way conversation with their daughter for her entire life, and now that she’s finally trying to speak back, they’re like Huh wow I guess words do nothing!!  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Reminds me of that post about how “If you don’t respect me I won’t respect you” >>>  “If you don’t respect my authority I won’t respect you as a human being”

The reveal that Hana’s dress is tied to her last good memories of her grandmother, and the BLATANT way Lorelai uses it to manipulate her is so damn cruel. Oh, sure, it was totally just coincidentally sitting on top of this pile~ my ass

I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOUR HAPPINESS. YOU WILL LIVE IN MY CASTLE WITH ME AND MAXWELL AND HAVE DANCE PARTIES AND BLANKET FORTS FOREVER.

So with that in mind, it sucks how being a good friend to Hana is so consistently paywalled :( I’m remembering back to the fondue scene in book 2 where she’s crying and everything, and if you don’t pay to invite the boys over, it’s kinda just like Oh man that’s rough buddy. :| 

Basically, if you don’t pay for the dress heist, the conversation where you comfort Hana gets cut very short, and it isn’t even given the weighty music it gets in the diamond scene, which really helps set the tone. And then the tension has to share the stage with Lorelai possibly ruining your party. 

I’ll be honest, if I had to choose between diamond scenes this week, it would have been the one with the LI, which is a great relationship-building one paired with sexitimes, and a good successor to the one two weeks ago where we finally get to talk about the future! 

More on that later because HEIST TIME

We are nothing if not on brand here at Duchy Revanasi. 

Off we go to recruit Maxwell or Olivia! 

Olivia: You can say the punchline as many times as you want, Maxwell. It’s still not funny.  Maxwell: Maybe I set it up wrong. I’ll start over from the top...  MC: Sorry to interrupt! Olivia: Oh thank god. 

jslkdj i love both of them

sorry Olivia, gotta see what shenanigans my fiancee can cook up. 

b’awwwwwww. 

Maxwell’s plan is to tell Lorelai they’re having a disco in the study!! A really really loud disco!!! Because “Riley said I could.” 

Lorelai leaves immediately. Heheh. 

as for Olivia, Our Lady of Drama, her tactic is uh. a little lacking in tact and I ended up being glad I went with Maxwell. 

At least we got a little bit of... backhanded defensiveness from Lorelai. “not entirely to blame” :/

I live in support of Hana’s angry face, but Olivia please. Hana is having a time 

Hana’s flirting tactic is straight to “take off your shirt” like damn girl 

We find a sECRET pASSAGE (hooray!!!) to a really pretty sunset. :D 

I really thought we were gonna take our LI back here later for a hot minute when MC was like “Hey I know a place!” but it ended up being the pretty balcony so I’m not complaining. 

Thanks, I have great writers! 

But god, this guts me. Hana never even had friends until she got here, she told MC that she was her first friend! Hana’s parents have been her only source of support for her entire life, of course she loves them and can’t picture her life without that, it’s all she’s had. 

Hana’s dad says Hana isn’t equipped “for a life of independence” like MC was. Like, he’s obviously coming from a place of worry, but it’s blinding to him to how Hana is trying to fix that. She has been trying so hard to stand on her own two feet. 

Her parents care, but they aren’t ready to listen to their daughter as a person. (respect vs respect again)

And damn, marrying someone like Neville would’ve been a disaster!!! Sure he’s rich, but he doesn’t exactly give off the impression he can make good decisions, so it would fall to Hana. Except with his arrogance and if Hana was as ideally subservient as her parents wanted her to be, she wouldn’t be able to. 

ugh i need to take 10 showers just following this thread of thought. 

sidenote, whomst the FUck let Neville onto my property. Gladys, get this punk trash outta here 

...Rashad can stay. He's alright. And helps out Hana in the end so, hooray!

Oooo Hana is still into us T_T 

That dress though! ♥ Usually i’m not into beadwork, but I adore the color, and how it makes MC look like a classy mermaid. I would love to wear that and swish around and feel how heavy it is. 

Those poor dressmakers who spend an entire year preparing and then if the duchess just is like Actually nah. 

:))) this made me laugh so hard. ISN’T IT. :[ 

She can’t take anything real from you. RUB IT IN HER FACE, HANA. 

But oh man. Lorelai not only holding Hana’s love and her things hostage, but also playing to the press like Oh what a fancy new duchy you have, such a nice festival of hope, wouldn’t it be a shame if one of your best friends mothers CAUSED A BIG DAMN SCENE. 

MC gives it the ole nyc try, but Xinghai is ready to hide behind his wife at a moment’s notice. 

COOL MOTIVE STILL MURDER or in this case ‘cool motive still emotionally manipulating your daughter and forcing your wishes on her’ 

I AM TRYING SO HARD TO WORK WITH YOU HERE. 

I think Lorelai’s bombshell for the press was the fake-out for someone getting murdered tonight. They went all out with the DRAMA MUSIC. Lorelai probably queued it herself, she clearly lives for the drama. GO AWAY. STOP RUINING THE MOMENT. People are trying to have wishes here >:(

[she’s talking about the chances of Xinghai making a business deal with Rashad on his own. sheesh, Lorelai’s not much more of a supportive wife than a mother, huh]

This image of Xinghai with the lantern breaks my heart a little. But I’m a sap. Damn discount George Takei, stand up for yourself and your daughter!

THIS, THOUGH. THIS SPEECH MAKES IT ALL WORTH IT. Your apologies are nice and all, but if you want to be a part of my life going forward? You can’t pull this shit again. That is exactly what she needed to say, and I’m glad she got to say it. 

I tried a few different ways and all times came out of it with Lorelai’s approval. Curious if it is possible to fail? Also wonder if there were differences if you didn’t win Xinghai’s approval in the previous book. 

ok i’m emotionally exhausted. the rest and Maxwell can wait for another post. i’m going to the gym or something

[noona-la-la-la]

Question for you and your followers. You and your followers are one of the most open minded and quite an honest group of people I follow and I just thought it'd be best to talk to someone from an outside pov. Also you say you're older then most kpop Tumblr users so you're my best bet at logic. My girlfriend and I are getting married in November. Both of our families have been very supportive up until last week when the invite we sent to her parents months ago was sent back to us. (1/?)

Basically its says while they support their daughter they dont want her marrying a convict (I served time for some drug charges a few years back) Her family is very very close and I know this isn't gonna play out very well, if I could get ANY advice regarding how to talk to her family and still keep my wedding rolling that'd be fucking fantastic. Cause right now I'm a little stressed, I can handle homophobic parents but not this? They've never mentioned my past before so why now?? (1/2)

I don’t know you.  I don’t know your fiancee.  I don’t know her family.  I don’t know what dynamics are at play here.  And I’m kinda confused by why you think it would be easier to deal with homophobic parents rather than this.  So take what I’m about to say with a HUUUUUGE grain of salt.  Real life is way more nuanced than can be accurately addressed in a quick tumblr post.

I have lived long enough that I have seen more than one parent of a friend or family member threaten to not attend a wedding because they didn’t agree with the person’s choice of spouse.  In most cases things worked themselves out before the wedding, in several cases they did not.  I am not going to be able to give you some magic words to say to get her parents to suddenly change their minds.  

However, I would suggest that the person who needs to address this issue directly with them is your fiancee and not you.  The person they love and care for is her and the relationship that holds the most power and opportunity to sway their opinion is the relationship she has with them.  She knows them best and would be best able to understand what is motivating this behavior and how to change their minds (if that is even possible).    Now is the time for her to step up and express her confidence in you as her future spouse and to tell her parents that even though she loves them and their decision to not be present on the most significant day of her life is devastating, she is an adult and needs to make her own decisions about her future.  This is mostly in her hands.

Maybe you can go to them and just confess how much you love their daughter and that you will spend your life working hard to make her happy.  Ask them what changed that they are opposing this wedding now?  Ask what you can do to help them have more confidence in you and their daughter? But you need to be ready to accept the fact that they may not be swayed.  You can’t force other people to change if they don’t want to.

my thoughts on 5x22

I can’t believe we’re almost at the end of the season. It’s bittersweet; I’m glad to put this year behind us but I’m also sad there’ll be no more new Arrow for several months. I’ll miss it, to be sure. But, given the events of this episode, I’m really hoping that there will be plenty of fanfic from my favorite authors to tide me over. 😉

Quentin wishing Oliver a happy birthday fills me with all kinds of warm feelings. Did we ever think, back in s1, that we’d ever get here? 

Thea teasing Oliver about his “date” with Felicity is a million kinds of fantastic and something I’ve always wanted. It’s made even better knowing that she KNEW ABOUT THE PARTY THE WHOLE TIME.

Seeing Oliver happy and nervous and excited is something I’ve really missed. 

The smooth way that Oliver took down Curtis fills me with all kinds of Feelings. 

That Lord Mesa cake is so meta that it’s pretty glorious. 

I’m not sure it qualifies as “amazing” or worth all the buzz but I’ll let it go. Cuz I’m a reasonable sort. 

This whole birthday is so beautiful and wonderful and so long past due... It feels RIGHT. I love seeing Oliver be celebrated by his loved ones. As it should be. 

We were doing great on the “how I want to spend my Summer Vacation” thing till we got to Felicity... and then Oliver. 

SOCKS? REALLY?

Socks=sex

Is it just me or were there volumes of innuendo to Felicity’s whole “hiking and spending the night under the stars” thing? Those smoldering looks between her and Oliver didn’t help things. 

And as if I wasn’t already dead from that eye fucking, then the team “subtly” leaves them alone to talk and they AGREE TO START DATING AGAIN.

Have mercy on my poor heart, Arrow, I’m only human.

Forget socks, this is what Oliver wanted for his birthday. 

“Hypothetically dating my ex-fiancee” It’s okay, I’m okay, this is fine. I’m fine. 

Curtis teasing Felicity about her sexual tension with Oliver is all of us, let’s be honest. 

Oh look, Curtis got taken. I’m so shocked. (not that shocked)

Oliver worrying about Felicity and wanting her to stay down in the bunker with him is just... that’s where I’m at folks. This is fine. 

But the Black Siren blah blah blah *snore* I’m sorry, did something happen? 

Anyways, Quentin is awesome and deserves better. But you all already knew that. 

Felicity not wanting to leave Oliver alone, because she’s worried about him... that is NOW where I’m at. I’m fine. 

Oliver’s desperation and ... upset at learning Dig and Felicity were taken... that is where I am going to be and stay and I AM NOT FINE.

Yep. I’m gonna stay here a while. It’s a nice place. 

And then Malcolm gives a big pep talk speech about leaving the island and letting people in and how people help us retain our humanity and...what? WHAT? What’s going on here?

Malcolm is being the beacon of hope? Where did that come from???

Oh that man is so dead. He’s dying. That’s it. That’s his big redemption. Welp. 

Oliver’s emotions over Chase taking William are so real and pure and just... WOW. “He’s my boy.” There’s a branch in my eye.

Delightful moment when Malcolm and Nyssa get pissy about working with each other.

Though, if Nyssa could stop with the husband nonsense and they could just END THAT NONSENSE I’d be a happier viewer. 

ITS BEEN TWO YEARS, GUGGENHEIM. LET IT GO.

It took Oliver far longer than it should have to realize Adrian took everyone to the island. “See you on the boat” was pretty clear. 

Also... no one took a boat. What is this boat nonsense? I have questions. 

“Ms. Smoak.” Damn right, and don’t you forget it. Blessed, blessed interaction.

Blah blah blah Slade Wilson blah blah kid blah blah

Join us next week folks. Things will most certainly get lit. And enjoy Olicity being reunited. It’s official. TV Line said so. 😉

[paler-than-thou]

a’ight so

welp

here we go (under a read more to save dashes)

1. Do you ever doubt the existence of others than you? In the real sense or in the alien/gods/etc sense? XD Nah, I’m aware there’s things other than humans to this world. I don’t doubt, because hell, I know.

2. On a scale of 1-5, how afraid of the dark are you? I’d say about a 2, headed into 4-5 depending on mood, people I’m with and if I’m in an unfamiliar place.

3. The person you would never want to meet? I don’t really know? Can’t think of any one person, tbh. There’s plenty I’d hate (like Trump etc) but yeah...

4. What is your favorite word? Oh fuck, I don’t know. It’s more of a phrase but ‘Damn straight’ I guess? There’s a few I like the sound/feel of saying, and a lot of Polish I like (’przyjaciel’ being no 1 for sound and meaning) but yeah.

5. If you were a type of tree, what would you be? Uh. Prehistoric and smelly.

6. When you looked in the mirror this morning what was the first thing you thought? Good god why.

7. What shirt are you wearing? Nada, clothes are for heretics.

8. What do you label yourself as? Different and weird. But I think this might mean more sexuality-wise? I’m an quoiromantic asexual transman with a beard and I’m not afraid to use it.

9. Bright room or dark room? Dark room, every time. Prefer low lights.

10. What were you doing at midnight last night? Playing Doom and cackling.

11. Favorite age you’ve been so far? This age, until I’m the next one.

12. Who told you they loved you last? @koto056 by a narrow margin ^^

13. Your worst enemy? Myself, honestly.

14. What is your current desktop picture? Hah, I go to take a screenshot and welp, story time. I have a two-screen setup, one smaller than the other, and the one on the left is uh...when I first came on the internet as a wee artist I didn’t really know/care about tracing/editing other people’s work. I found one I liked of @anndr‘s pieces and edited it without permission, and I have never put it up for people to see because it was a shit thing to do. I keep it as a reminder of not to be a shitheel and because it was done so I could better visualise a character, and I never will either, so yeah. No desktop pic here.

15. Do you like someone? Well, I got two partners, so I assume so.

16. The last song you listened to? Twenty One Pilots - Heathens

17. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up? There are too many people for this one to be answered. ¬¬

18. Who would you really like to just punch in the face? Again, too many people. 

19. If anyone could be your slave for a day, who would it be and what would they have to do? Nooooot comfortable with this question (though @koto056 will probably know the first thing that came to mind)

20. What is your best physical attribute? (showing said attribute is optional) I’d say my eyes. I mean

look at this cute motherfucker

21. If you were the opposite sex for one day, what would you look like and what would you do? Loaded question. Honestly, I’d cry and then hide until the day was over.

22. Do you have a secret talent? If yes, what is it? I dunno, possibly to be as annoying as humanely possible? Heh, that’s the shitty inner voice talking. I guess the fact I can make people smile no matter what and feel genuinely cared for?

23. What is one unique thing you’re afraid of? I’m not sure I have unique fears. Heights, claustrophobia, arachnophobia, eye stuff, dentists...

24. You can only have one kind of sandwich. Every sandwich ingredient known to humankind is at your disposal. I’ll make it in a minute.

25. You just found $100! How are you going to spend it? Art supplies or straight to bank for MCM monies.

26. You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere in the world, but you have to leave immediately. Where are you going to go? Ireland, maybe Poland, not sure.

27. An angel appears out of Heaven and offers you a lifetime supply of the alcoholic beverage of your choice. “Be brand-specific” it says. Man! What are you gonna say about that? Even if you don’t drink booze there’s something you can figure out… so what’s it gonna be? Well, I can’t drink thanks to my pills, so I’d probably just ask for tea as it’s brewed. :3

29. What is your favorite expletive? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

30. Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don’t worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what’s the one thing you’re going to save from that blazing inferno? My computer. That shit cost nearly £2k, I am not letting it burn.

31. You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be? Loaded question there. Honestly, I wouldn’t erase the years of abuse and bullshit because it’d be erasing a fundamental part of my development into this wonderful human being I can stand to be now. But if I could do so without it affecting me? Yeah, that’s a no-brainer.

32. You got kicked out of the country for being a time-traveling heathen who sleeps with celebrities and has super-powers. But check out this cool shit… you can move to anywhere else in the world! Ireland 8D

33. The Celestial Gates Of Beyond have opened, much to your surprise because you didn’t think such a thing existed. Death appears. As it turns out, Death is actually a pretty cool entity, and happens to be in a fantastic mood. Death offers to return the friend/family-member/person/etc. of your choice to the living world. Who will you bring back? Yeah, no. I wouldn’t. I mean there’s plenty about the whole ‘gone too soon’ but...no, I wouldn’t.

34. What was your last dream about? Nothing good 8D woo for nightmares and flashbacks huh.

35. Are you a good….[insert anything you’d like here]? I dunno, am I?

36. Have you ever been admitted to the hospital? Yuuuup. More times than I’d like. Latest was this January after having an internal stitch go necrotic and cause me to lose 2 pints+ of blood.

43. Do you have any scars? Too many.

44. What do you want to be when you graduate? Well, I ain’t in college/uni so...

45. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? The chronic pain.

47. If you could ask your future self one question, what would it be? Lottery numbers.

48. Do you hold grudges? Nah. Too much energy. I get angry, it burns out, I let it go.

49. If you could breed two animals together to defy the laws of nature, what new animal would you create? Snekbirb!

50. What is the most unusual conversation you’ve ever had? Holy shit, what sort of question is this? So many holy fuck

51. Are you a good liar? Yup. Incredibly so. At one point I was almost pathological - lying even when I didn’t need to - though now it comes out rarely as embellishing. Means I’m a great storyteller, but I used to be very manipulative/unknowingly gaslighty with it. Thankfully I grew out of it and got better.

52. How long could you go without talking? Hours, really. I sit with the fiancee for a long time without really saying anything other than the odd request for tea. Other than that? Yeah, I talk for days.

53. What has been you worst haircut/style? Buzzcut. I don’t suit it.

54. Have you ever baked your own cake? Yup, with varying degrees of success XD

59. Do you sing in the shower? Or do anything unusual in the shower? Explain. Sing, talk to myself, act out rps/conversations...

60. Do you believe in aliens? It’s a statistical impossibility that we’re alone, but also very very fucking unlikely we’ll ever be contacted simply through sheer numbers.

61. Do you often read your horoscope? If only to laugh at it/swear at the fact I’m a fucking typical Scorpio yeah...

62. What is your favorite letter of the alphabet? ...Whut. Um. Well. I don’t know? X maybe?

63. Which is cooler: dinosaurs or dragons? Oh come on, dragons.

64. What do you think about babies? Nice. Soft. Good smell, unless not. Squidge.

65. Freebie! Ask anything interesting you can think of.  No one put in a q for this so...w/e 8D
