CATS ships mating dances as my favourite strictly come dancing dances!!

That may or may not just be basically all of John and Johannes dances (pls dont judge me these are mostly mlm ships and I feel it best represents them plus they are all amazing!!)

(Inspired by this post!) Prepare bc ima dive head first into this and it will be long lol

There is no doubt in my mind now that tugoffelees would do a Rumba like This !!! Like the slow deliberate motions that were literally MADE to show eachother off while still taking their own places in the spotlight. A rumba isnt like either of their natural, preferred ways of dancing, but instead a dance that amplifies the emotions that are rarely ever seen infont of the tribe.

Tuggers deep caring side (that we see the moment after misto brings back old doot) is now fully on display for the tribe to see, showing how out of everything, this is who he found and he doesnt have eyes for anyone else, and this fact is something he knows he will never question.

On the other hand we see Mistoffelees, the dance displaying his talents perfectly, hes literally holding the spotlight on them as he shows the tribe that he can lean on Tugger, and without having to look, knows the other tom is right there, ready to support him and lead him if hes anxious, and vise versa.

NOT TO MENTION THE SONG!!! literally just them saying they are not together for popularity nor magical prowess bc they know they are more than that!

_____

Next up is a lil crazy one but hear me out- Misto x Macavity is hands down This Paso Doble and I will fight you on it! THE POWER in every movement, the dance playing out as a fight because that's what their relationship is, in the best way possible!!!

You have these two incredibly powerful cats, who have always and forever will be, even between lives, connected by the same erratic destructive beautiful force of nature, and as much as they clash and make chaos, always in a never ending fight to see who's the best, but its because of that that they cant help getting drawn to eachother.

In the dance they are constantly drawing the other closer while also pushing away. They mirror eachothers movements while also dancing as the others oposit, an ongoing to and through. They keep switching who's leading as if its battle to be the one in control!!!!

Not to mention THE LIGHTING ITS SELF!!!! A gorgeous show of their emotions crazed and all over the place while still keeping order (plus a fun lil misto glittersplosion at the end!)

_____

Okay this ones for the inspo of this post @afairytalestray and what I think for Coricojerries dance since their stuff basically convinced me this is arguably one of the best ships ever!!

Now I wasnt sure at first, like tugoffelees they are two very different people with very different dance style but when I tell you when i found this dance?? I became pretty sold I found it!!

First off the song?? When I think of coricojerrie my mind always thinks at how they are each one of a twin with vastly different life experiences yet they both still feel like lonely souls of london that found a home in eachother! Even with their sisters theres just something that separates them from the girls and the rest of the junkyard, but that didn't stop them from gaining an unquestioned place next to eachother!!

In the dance, they start off unsure, still a little lost but then the FIND eachother!!! In this uncanny contemporary dance that manages to mix in jerries acrobatics and acting into it, blending into something unconventional but THEM!!!!

They use each to get through life like they get through the dance, with the mix of physic powers and someone who had only really known a life of crime, the lead and lift eachother, and even if others think they are weird or annoying, they end heads held high and ready to support eachother!!

_____

Last but not least (for this post at least bc it's getting heckin long oops) ALONZOSTAP!!! I love these boys ma dudes okay and that why I cant deny my heart when i think of this show dance as their dance!

The sweet sweet mix between the tender I love you moments, to the fun showy bits that let's their personalities shine???? Them coming together at the beginning, letting how my they care for eachother come first, only to burst into something exiting and fun that's ever so slightly out of their comfort zones while still representing the laughter they bring to eachother!!

There is no denying that these two are both showmen at heart, just in different ways. Munk strives to tell the storys that teach the next generation, while Alonzo is more seeking the thrill of showing off and dancing because he knows he looks good because it feels good.

So together they are able to combine their loves if performing, dancing for the hell of it while also showing and teaching the younger cats what love is and how its supposed to make you feel! The intense moment where they show that the are the protectors of the tribe, that they are strong and that being who you are and loving someone intensely dosent take away your power but makes you stronger!!!

_____

Now that's finally out of my head hears a couple extra that I either cant explain/ make obvious sence lol

Dont ask but this gives me young and fresh new dads skimblegus and I live for it!!!

Also we all know this is like, canon Platora

Also also this is literally like a sceen from my royal tugoffelees au I'm writing lol!!

If anyone wants more weird strictly cats dance rants give me ships and I'll try and do another post for them :D

happy woman month. i shall be describing my fave sssrh ladies. there are so many of them though. roughly chronological order

black dragon witch. shes the best. she has a tough and cold exterior but is such a delightful and happy woman on the inside. she secretly likes romance novels and has killed thousands. she tortured some people by dropping them in a blank dreamspace for thirty days. is besties with the protag. we love friendships between diff genders that arent romantic at all. the main chapters may seem romance potential but thats just gongja grovelling at the feet of anyone who is nice to him. shes ukranian and fled to the tower. nationality is pretty important for the guild leaders so ill be mentioning it. i know her real name but im not telling you. i know all of the guild leaders real names bc theyre gongjas besties

the paladin. shes so cool. captain of the vigilanre corps. only guild leader who has never killed anyone. always wears her full body armor, especially her helmet. shes a huge music nerd, and eventually does a jazz performance with gongja and black dragon witch. shes venezuelan and is one of the last characters gongja gets to know the name of even though she was one of the first to trust him

the countess. i swear the paladin and countess have something yuri going on. can shapeshift into a cat. once the paladin was getting really into talking about music with the countess in her arms and was petting the shit out of her. gongja wondered if the cat theming of the countesss guild was for the paladins tastes. he didnt like thinking like that. the countess is from an indian slum and worked her way up to having money. she considers money the most important thing in the world thats why shes so rich.

ester/preta: okay its kinda hard to explain her deal. its be best to read her arc since its beautiful. s1 of the manhwa. basically she was a goop monster that took the form of whatever it ate. she happened upon a girl in the forest and became her. she later became a saintess in her home town because she could cure people by secretly eating them. the king of her empire didnt like this and sent people to kill all of her village. she became the demon king of autumn rain in response and attacked the empire. gongja dies to her like 5000 times and gets her to retreat into her human form and back in time. he kills her and resurrects her into his ghost army. to replace the name she stole, he calls her preta. theres a funny scene where he makes her do acrobatics to prove to the kings army he can control her. she later regains the name ester once the family clan is established. i call her earthworm girl because of an unfortunate simile in the translation

ja soo jung: she shouldnt really be here in the chronological order since she isnt rightfully introduced at this point but she does appear to gongja, if only her voice and shadow. i honestly dont know how to explain her to you, she is a lot. she is the tower master, she created it. shes lived a lot of lives, and she can rewind and see time however she wants. she has control over all timelines, and she wants everything in the universe to blamed on her. she lets bad things happen, and forces gongja to watch. he sees her trauma, which is basically her whole life. she married her cousin, gay marriage but at what cost. honestly her arc was really fucking confusing and i didnt umderstand it, but the burden of god was understood. gongja has sex with his wife in her living room

sylvia evanail: im saving the best for last. sylvia is my evil terrible girl. shes basically "i had a crush on this girl and didnt know how to deal with it so i wrote her a note to get out of my school" she was so infatuated with raviel and jealous of her that she stole raviels fiance and tried to take her place in society. she even asked gods for help. that damn cow. she failed bc raviel is better than her and then had to join raviels family clan as the chancellor which is awkward.

raviel: MY HUSBAND! raviel is the duke of ivansia, and was betrothed to the crown prince. the crown prince liked sylvia instead, so she stabbed her heart with a magic sword and wishes her love would last forever and became the apocalype for their world/story. then she became a regressor, repeating the same ten days over and over again. enter gongja, who is sent to stop the apocalypse. she teaches gongja about love, and they eventually fall in love. they have to kill each other several times to counter the regression loop. gongja simply does some quick maneuver to take them back, but when he becomes to immersed in his role, raviel kills him ten times with her bare hands to have him watch her trauma to bring him back. after they get married, raviel becomes the duke of ivansia, and gongja becomes her wife. the webtoon is a coward that didnt translate it as wife and instead used matriarch and consort. they dont know gender roles. bi4bi t4t. thats not canon but to me it is. raviels my fave character in the series sorry for talking so much about her wife hes just integral to her character arc. shes his first bitch of a lover

#t #elises list #most of this was off the top of my head until jsj and raviel

I DONT THINK IVE DUMPED ABOUT MY CR SELF INSERTS

ok so i have 2 bc i love 2 men - one for banging molly and one for banging caleb and they both are isekai troups bc im a slut for those

the one w molly is a little less developed but hes a ranger and a beast master and his companion is a big black bear named Łshin (black in tututni) and hes a little less developed bc of ep 26 but i have an au where molly comes back while theyre making the xhorhaus a home. this is also the character i use for "soft cover"

the one w caleb is much more developed and i wanna write for him a lot more. hes also a ranger and a beast master. basically he arrived in wildmount 2 years prior to the events of cr and was picked up by gustavs circus a few days after waking up. he found a baby moorbounder (tho no one knew what he was u til they went to acarius) that they all figured was probably abandoned by a blackmarket pet trade and he anmed him Łi (dog in tututni). yasha had been there for a few months and molly only 2 days (molly and my self insert woke up on the same day). my self insert becomes an acrobat/tight rope walker/ribbon dancer for the circus. this one molly dies and stays dead :(.

both get tattoos in honour of molly - si 1 gets a purple hollyhock and a moon on his right arm and si 2 gets a ruby snake across his shoulders and upper back.

they both get tattoos from orly as well - si1 gets a sun and moon and eyes on his upper back and the beck of his neck in sapphire for a intelligence boost and si 2 gets the entire snake done in ruby for a strength boost

during the first fight w the laughing hand, si 2 nearly gets his arm cut off by yasha and thats how he knew it wasnt her and constantly insisted that shes not evil, shes just not herself. he has a massive scar over his left shoulder now. its partically covered by the ruby snake.

youve probably said this somewhere already and i am just The Stupid but how did deidara first meet the trio...

dont u worry my friend ur not stupid ily.. i honestly probably said it a long time ago and i dont want u to have to dig thru my oc tag to find it i really need to work on the timeline for the oc universe to share it w everyone so ppl can understand what the fuck im talking about more but anyway!

they have a pretty unconventional meeting as far as best friends for life and future spouse meetings go theyre like.. a very vaguely enemies to friends thing they meet when the trio break into one of the akatsukis underground bases to find 1. evidence of the akatsuki/akatsuki subordinates involvement in the death of innas team 2. steal back the puppet that sasori made of nethers adoptive mom after her death.

the trio get in and get out of the base with both evidence and nethers mom and are able to rebury her mother along with looking over the evidence and talking about their next move forward.

meanwhile sasori has returned to his workshop and immediately realizes that someone has broken in & after taking stock he realizes that his most recent addition to his collection (nethers mom) has been stolen and hes predictably furious.

he sets out to quickly gather intel on who could be interested in stealing the puppet and figures out that nether is responsible. he angrily demands that deidara go out and retrieve the puppet and the theif and deidara really isnt that invested in it hes just like yeah whatever my dude peace out.

this is all happening within the course of three days or so and because of that the trio have already covered a good amount of ground and deidara may be a dumbass but hes not stupid and hes good at finding his targets, so hes able to spot the trio and recognizes nether from the file sasori was able to get on her and sends down a clay creature to try and drag her up to his bigger bird.

the trio really dont like fighting in general, inna refuses to harm people with the weapons she collects and only will use them in self defense or in an effort to protect someone else in an emergency circumstance and although spectre uses pshycic/spirit powers in hypothetical fights they only have so much energy to use.

so anyway basically what happens is that nether is able to cut through the clay with her ribbons and drops down to the bird and is like HEY! WHAT THE FUCK! and deidara in turn is like UH IM THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE SAYING WHAT THE FUCK YOU JUST CUT UP MY BEAUTIFUL ART

and nether just starts losing her shit up in the sky while inna and spectre are like oh god oh fuck this is not good and inna is very good at strategies and figuring problems out so shes starting to try and sort this out but before she can tell spectre her plan they go hey inna catch and shes like wait what and then spectre astral projects out of their body which just slumps over

anyway. they overpower deidara and possess him and meanwhile inna is using a grappling hook to get to the bird after doing acrobatics thru the trees and calculating the exact distance and angles she needs to throw it at in her mind.

so anyway spectres like well i can only hold this guy off for a half hour at most and innas like thats great thats fine you can get this bird on the ground though right and spectres like yeah sure i can. ha ha wait. uh. maybe not. ah. fuck so theyre just stuck up in the air until they figure out a way to work together to get down using innas grappling hook, nethers ribbons, and the last bit of spectres energy as they stop possessing deidara to help them float down.

they go down back to spectres body and then skedaddle the heck out of there and then deidara wakes up like an hour later and he just screams angrily for a bit bc yknow i would scream after that too.

i know this is already long forgive me but were not done w the initial meeting yet.. the trio realize that deidaras from the akatsuki and that that means that their sneaky heist has been discovered and they dont really have a lot of time to figure out a new strategy because by this time sasori has come out and is after them as well, the trio get seperated as he enters the playing field and inna decides that shes going to try and distract deidara for as long as she possibly can because sasori is really focused on attacking nether and she knows that being attacked by both enemies at once would be really bad so she just spends the whole time jumping from tree to tree talking with deidara and asking him all sorts of questions and just completely refusing to fight him while also finding out stuff.

meanwhile spectre has regained about half of their energy and before the fight even begins they realize that the only way they have a chance of getting out of this is by having a suprise up their sleeve so they quickly put a protective seal over their body and leave it to partially possess nether which basically means theyre just surrounding nether with their energy and also feeding off of her energy so together theyre stronger in both their defense and their attacks.

without getting into 2 the details of the fight against sasori too much bc this is already long theyre able to break part of hirukos tail and smash through part of the rock enclosure that sasori has cornered them into in order to escape and regroup with inna.

its after this fight that the trio decide that they need to find a permanent place to stay that can be a safe home for them even as theyre looking for answers in the death of innas team and so they shortly find a small village which is fairly far away from the larger more powerful villages and they refurbish an old empty apartment building into their little shop with the apartment they all live in upstairs!

they live pretty peacefully there for almost a year until sasori is able to find them but rather than straight up attacking them hes interested in gathering information on them since they managed to beat him and could possibly be useful in the future to him so he starts spying on them himself out of hiruko because of course practically no one knows what he really looks like so going into the shop without any real disguise is the best disguise and nethers just like huh that quiet guy who just spends the whole time hes in here looking at our plants and glaring at me is back again. weird.

eventually he gets too busy to go spy on them himself and he sends deidara in his place which is a very big mistake on his part because deidara just blows his whole cover right away and instead of spying on the trio he becomes friends with them and is blowing off akatsuki business to be with them before eventually faking his death to live with them and to try and be a better person because theyve been such a good influence on him and shown a better part of the world to him

thank u for asking abt this!!! im sorry this got so long again i rlly need to figure out a way to make a good visual timeline thats easy to read that shows all the different plot points in the trios story and overall version of the naruto universe

Hey, there! It’s me again, this time post-coming-out. I ended up writing a letter to my parents explaining my entire position and asking them to give it thought and prayer before contacting me. Initially, things seemed to go pretty well. I even gave my extremely homophobic brother on his mission a heads up for when he gets home soon, and he didn’t immediately renounce our relationship! Things didn’t stay great, though, so now I’m back in a tough spot (1/?)

(2/?) The main issue is my mom. I went home for a visit, and we talked about my situation for hours one night. I was so glad I wasn’t being disowned that I didn’t initially realize how messed up some of the things she said were. First, she started the conversation by referring to my sexuality as something broken that I needed to hand over to Christ to fix. I then had to fight her the whole time to understand my complete unwillingness to have a physically intimate marriage to a man

(3/?) I poured out my heart about the mental acrobatics I put myself through when I was younger to convince myself I was straight and how much that contortion hurt me, but she kept acting like those were good things I was doing to keep myself on the straight and narrow. She finally finished the conversation by stating that she had known I wasn’t straight the whole time. If that were true, why push me so hard? Why let my brother say such awful things to me and about people like me?

(4/4) I have some space for now not living at home, but my brother is coming home soon, and I’m going to need to face both him and a mom I don’t think is ready to hear and understand why all the things she said were messed up. With any luck, I’ll be financially independent in a few months, so long-term pressure and awkwardness isn’t a major concern for me right now, but I could use some thoughts on how to survive my brother’s homecoming. Thanks for being here!

hi!!

unfortunately, we can’t force our family to understand or to want to understand. all we can do is ask them to try and prioritize our own health. you can confront your mother and brother about the things they’ve said and done and try to open a conversation about it. you said you weren’t too worried about pressure and awkwardness, but if it DOES become a concern, remember that your mental and physical health are the most important things here-if it’s easier and will make your life better to just not interact with them about it, then by all means, you don’t owe them explanations.

but if after it all, you’re still ready to confront them, i say just don’t back down. let them know that this is who you are and how you feel and that’s not UP for discussion. you being treated with love and respect isnt a conversation, it’s a necessity. and that’s final. you’re not having a conversation about this, you’re TELLING them this is who you are and this is how they have to change in order to show you love. period.

i find it also kind of throws people like this for a loop if you use gospel language in your discussions about being lgbtqa+. when i am forced to talk to my parents about my identity (which i hate to do LOL bc they react a lot like your mom) i remind them that i feel god’s love and i feel the spirit when i ask if God loves and accepts me. I feel the spirit during queer meet ups and when i live my life authentically as who i am and when i march at pride. i know god is the one who creates diversity and he celebrates it and wants me to be me and to be happy how he made me. I know god’s plan includes me, even if we don’t yet understand how, because god wouldn’t forget me.

in the end, whether or not they understand and are loving hurts a lot, but we can’t change it. all we can do is tell them what’s what and let them make their own choices. that being said of course, your number one concern will ALWAYS be your health and safety-if there’s a chance this will hurt you in any way shape or form, you’re allowed to avoid it as much as possible.

we love you!! we’re praying for you!! i hope everything goes well!

Thoughts about the Time Period of The Scorpio Races, Including a Riveting Discussion of Tape.

There is so! much! analysis! happening here! I love it! I’m just going to put it all under the cut!

@laizydaizy reblogged your post “What year do you think the story takes place in? (I don't think they mentioned it in the book) it doesn't seem very...”

I’m glad u like my ask! For my opinion I think the 1940’s would work pretty well. There’s also the thing going on where puck is the first girl to race which is pretty important because the 1900s was a very important time for women’s rights and I feel like the progression of this is shown throughout the story. Also like u said the setting is pretty timeless so you can’t really tell but I’d just place it in the 1940’s for my own ~ aesthetic ~ ALSO keep in mind thisby is an island which means technology would come to it much later

Hurrah! It was you! Thanks for sending the ask! I definitely think the reporter’s line about women’s suffrage is important, because it makes less sense the farther you get from the movement. The 1940s created many opportunities for women, so that seems fitting. I personally haven’t found any references to the war within the text, but I am curious about how it would have affected Thisby, both during and after the war. Since Thisby may or may not belong to the UK (we never learn the answer to George Holly’s question about home rule), we don’t know if they would have been involved or neutral. Whatever the case, I can imagine the waters around Thisby were teeming with U-boats!

@booknerdathogwarts reblogged your post:

Hello deary!

I just wanted to help clarify the timeline on the Scorpio Races.

You said 1930’s or 1950’s, but I’d like to add that duck tape- Puck actually says ‘black tape,’ but Finn was using it to patch up the seats of the Morris- wasn’t invented until WWII, putting the timeline in more of the 1950’s era. It’s possible it was a different type of tape, but the tape invention timeline comes down to surgical tape in the late 1800’s, masking tape in the 1920’s- which could possibly have been the tape Finn used, but masking tape on leather? Nuh uh.

Duck tape was made in the field during WWII for minor repairs, and honestly if I were to tape up a leather seat of a car, I’d use duck tape.

Hello, hello!

Oh no! Brought down by TAPE! ;) Seriously though, no clue is too big or small, too extraordinary or mundane. Well spotted! I am most impressed by your knowledge of the history of tape! :)

You make a very compelling case! I will concede that one has to do far less acrobatics to make the technology fit if it has a 1950s setting. However, I am not afraid of a few somersaults and, as such, I will go to great lengths to justify my delusions an earlier setting!

A perusal of Wikipedia tells me thus: “In 1930, the magazine Popular Mechanics described how to make adhesive tape at home using plain cloth tape soaked in a heated liquid mixture of rosin and rubber from inner tubes.” As it’s not described as a roll of tape and inner tubes are black, I submit that Finn made his own “black tape.” See, I will not be dissuaded from my 1930s aesthetic! ;)

(But you’re probably right and it’s post-WWII duck tape! Drat!)

@skatzaa replied:

im sure im not the focus of the last part, but ive never weighed in on the time period question before, though ive read p much all your posts on it bc its drives me nuts. i dont even have anything productive to add, im just distraught over how much maggie left vague for the #aesthetic haha (but if pressed, i would also pick the 30s. the 50s just feel too...modern for me, even on a tiny island in the "middle" of the Atlantic, like Thisby, ya feel?)

I TOTALLY FEEL.

Yeah, I think there’s a difference between an island having a distinct identity from the mainland due to choice and necessity and an island untouched by the march of time. I don’t think the latter is true of Thisby, as the characters and their culture are very much pulled between tradition and modernization.

I also can’t square the mainland fashions of Sean’s childhood (bowler hats and canes and “wives who look like dolls”) with a 1950s timeline (with the event in question taking place a decade or so earlier)! Also, while social change did happen, it seems like much of the 1950s was about trying to undo the changes brought on by the war and get back to the way things were before, especially in regards to women. In the book, the traditionalists were trying to stop change from happening in the first place, which is a theme that appears to fit well with the interwar period, in my opinion.

I guess it comes down to this for me: attachment. The world of The Scorpio Races reminds me so much of the communities in National Velvet (1920s) and I Capture the Castle (1930s), which were both written within a decade of the respective settings and just sparkle with life. Historical fact or reality aside, I’m willing to accept some things as anachronisms if it means I get to experience that same stillness of the past on the cusp of colliding with a bustling world of change.

ANYWAY, thank you all! I’ve loved hearing your thoughts and learning new facts! And while it is sort of annoying to me that Maggie is so coy about the time period, it does at least give us the space to let our imaginations run wild! We get so many personal, alternate universes as a result, and so I guess that’s pretty magical? :)

#laizydaizy #booknerdathogwarts #skatzaa #the scorpio races #maggie stiefvater #time period #meta #wwii #tape #thanks so much you guys #this made me so happy to think about history this week #things were crappy and busy #i looked forward to getting a chance to sit down and research!

IDEALS

vehicle: something lame but not too expensive (still could never afford this) like the FIAT spider. im afraid of driving so i dont think about cars very much... i like FIATS though and a convertible would be fun in the summertime

travel: back to Italy of course, but i would like to go to Japan with my cousin and have a rip roarin’ good time

home: someplace isolated but with good basic amenities within walking distance. like Osoyoos in northern BC, where my dad lives. i would like to live in a quaint little desert bungalow, somewhat spacious & modern but basic. i like the idea of brazilian walnut flooring. would like an outdoor shaded area so i can sit on my ass and watch the quails play

classes to take for fun: embroidery BUT THERE ARE NO EMBROIDERY CLASSES HERE, ~aerial silk~ acrobatics, any kind of easygoing art class

job/occupation: anything where i make a decent wage and dont have my emotions sucked out of me by the end tbh. im not very ambitious these days

tagging: nobody b/c everybody i would tag has been tagged :}

A DAY IN MY LIFE ( 05 · 04 · 17 ) The nearest star was shining brightly outside my window; there was no sign of dark and heavy clouds as if dropping a hint that this day was a good one. I made my way outside the door feeling a bit hyped bc finally! After quite a long while, i got the chance to see her. My lips couldnt stop itself from curving making me look like an idiot smiling at nothing. As i walk towards gate 1, i felt my blood rushing and my cheeks a bit heated. My eyes landed on the most beautiful thing i have ever seen standing across the road, waiting for me. Her eyes that i adored the most met mine and her precious lips slowly formed a silly smile. I swear, i could feel my stomach flipping like an acrobat acting weirdly because of so much joy. Moments later, i found myself standing beside her waiting for a cab with my heart banging like war drums. After a short while of waiting (aka deciding where to go and what to do + making fun of each other ) and a reject from a picky cab driver, we finally got a ride to maginhawa and dropped off a bit far to where we wanted to eat so we had to walk to the other part. Shared a good laugh about little things, had small intimate gestures and ranting how tired and hungry we were while walking the down the sidewalk of the long peaceful street of maginhawa. Along the halfway there, we got really tired and decided to take the tryc only to find out that S&L was closed for some sort of kitchen renovation so we had to go back to where the cab dropped us off. Good god that was not so good. We spent our time walking and walking just to be disappointed??? Had no choice but to dine at Laruan atbp cafe. Ordered a few snacks and started playing. To be honest, their food was okay, not that disappointing as i have thought and the place was kinda cool but the thing was, we had a hard time picking what game to play bc most of their board games and cards were best played when you are with ur bunch of mudafuckas. So we played jenga, slapwich, brain box and reversed jenga which we did not get to figure out how that works. Guess who lost? 🙋 We left after a while because we wanted to go billiards. We waited outside for our uber & while waiting, we did silly things (for me, that was so sweet huhu) which really surprised me because it has been forever since we did such act in public. I felt really happy because she doesnt seem so annoyed with me. Our uber arrived and we hopped in. It was getting dark outside; the sun has set and the dark sky unfolds, slowly revealing the stars. I curled up to her clinging like a baby koala longing for warm, tight hugs. I missed my safe haven, my home –inside your arms. Your arms will always have the same feeling of security and peace –the only thing that could calm my raging sea of thoughts that drowns my soul or could tame my demons from deceiving me; from driving me to conclusions that arent true about me and you. You pulled out your earphones, shared them with me and put on a good music as i watch the sky outside the car window. You have no idea how perfect that moment was for me. I suddenly felt so emotional i even cried a few drops when by your side played. The lyrics were so strong and so accurate for it says, “Hold my hand and keep me close. I’ll never let you go. No, not tonight. Keep me by your side.” It was a hard hit to my core. Again, my tendons broke. My heart ached for how precious that moment was. Everything was so magical yet so real. My soul cried lots of pink pearls because of so much happiness. If only i could stop the time, i would literally do everything to make it last long –long enough to keep you until the end but again, we couldnt. After the most perfect car ride i have ever experienced, we arrived at starmall and played billiards. I had so much fun even though i never won a game 😂 We got tired and had dinner after the game. Talked about things. My heart would explode because of extreme happiness that i couldnt contain. I dont deserve this. Literally, everything was so real! It seemed like you didnt pretend to like me. I could feel your heart beating for me. You have no idea how much i longed for this day to happen. I got sad when i have realized that soon, all of this will be over. It hurts to think that all that we did today will just be memories to look back. At least, they were good ones. No, perfect. I know, soon enough, you'll get to read this. Thank you for today! I love you so much! This one was, by far, the hardest one i wrote. I couldnt put such perfect feelings into nonsense words. Let this feeling just remain a feeling. I know it by heart, no need to write it out. No one can grasp it but me. No one will understand how the fireworks exploded inside my chest. (I forgot to grammar. I was crying while blogging. Im sorry. I was just so happy)
