Nicole was a good baby, a great baby…but,she was a baby. So when she sees something shiny or something that calls her attention, she’ll go for it. She watches as Beatrice and Rooster walk around inside the house.

A day after his promotion, he was almost ready to leave again. Beatrice frowns, leaning against the wall as Nicole waddles over Rooster’s coat - the medals shining as Bea hung it on the wall- “When are you leaving?” she asks.

Rooster arches his brow, “In a week. Everything is still…going since I just got promoted.”

“Do you know for how long you’ll be deployed?”

Rooster sighed, running a hand through his hair as he considered Beatrice's question. "Not exactly," he admitted, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "It could be a few months, or it could be longer. It all depends on the mission and how things unfold."

Beatrice's heart sank at Rooster's words, a wave of anxiety washing over her "I hate not knowing," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.

Rooster reached out to take Beatrice's hand in his, his touch gentle and reassuring. "I know, baby," he murmured, squeezing her hand tightly. "But we've been through this before, and we'll get through it again. Together."

Beatrice nodded, forcing a smile as she looked up at Rooster. "Yeah,you're right," she replied, her voice filled with determination. “And…you are a LC now,right?” she smiles more, albeit still nervous, “...is…it possible it’ll be more dangerous?”

Rooster nodded solemnly, his expression serious as he met Beatrice's gaze. "Yeah, it's possible," he admitted, his voice tinged with concern. "With the new rank comes new responsibilities, and that often means being on the front lines more often."

Beatrice's heart skipped a beat at Rooster's words, a surge of fear coursing through her veins. "Oh…I…I'm already so worried about you, and now knowing that you'll be in even more danger...it's almost too much to even think about."

Rooster reached out to cup Beatrice's face in his hands, his touch gentle and reassuring. "Hey, hey, look at me," he murmured, his voice soft but firm. "We knew this was a possibility when I joined the Navy. And while it's not easy, we've always found a way to make it work. We'll get through this together, just like we always do."

She frowns then leaned into Rooster's touch, seeking comfort in his embrace. "I know," she replied, her voice choked with emotion. "But it doesn't make it any easier. I just...I don't want to lose you, Rooster. You mean everything to me."

Wow, what a fucking way to make both of them feel like shit. She winced internally for saying it outloud, “I’m sorry,I…it’s not fair for me to say this.”

Rooster's heart ached at Beatrice's words and he gently wiped away a tear that had escaped her eye, his touch tender and loving. "Hey, don't apologize," he murmured "You have every right to feel scared and worried. But I promise you, I'll do everything in my power to come back to you, safe and sound."

Beatrice nodded, her throat tight with emotion as she leaned into Rooster's embrace. "I know you will," she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper. "And I'll be here waiting for you, every step of the way."

“I know,gorgeous.” he whispers, kissing her forehead, looking down just in time to see Nicole touching his coat, the shiny medals with wide eyes, ‘Listen, you know how it is,right?’

“I do.”

“I’m not saying to get used to it, hell I sometimes need to get better at it but…I’ll be back,for you.” over time he started to believe in himself even more, perhaps the fear of ending like his dad did finally diminished, “For all of you,okay?”

Beatrice nodded, her heart swelling with love and gratitude for the man standing before her. "I know you will," she replied, her voice filled with warmth. "And I'll be counting down the days until you come back to us."

‘It won’t be until a week.’ he kisses her forehead before he lets her go, leaning down to pick Nicole and kiss her cheek loudly, the toddler gurgling and giggling as he does so, “We still have time until then.”

“Yeah, you are right.”

“For example,today,.” he spins Nikki around, leaving her upside down with her little legs kicking in the air, “We are going to go to the doctor and see how the twins are,right?’ she nods, “It’ll be all good, you won’t even blink and I’ll be back home.”

“I know.” she smiles, “I can’t help it, I worry about you a lot. And I worry even more if I can’t see you.”

Rooster's heart swelled with love at Beatrice's words, his gaze softening as he looked at her. "I understand," he murmured, his voice filled with understanding. "But I promise you, I'll stay in touch as much as I can."

Beatrice smiled gratefully at Rooster, "Thank you," she replied, her voice tinged with emotion. "That means a lot to me."

With a final squeeze of Beatrice's hand, Rooster stood up and set Nicole back down on the ground, her giggles echoing through the room. "Alright, little one," he said, his voice playful as he tousled her hair. "Let's go get ready to take your siblings to see the doctor."

Nicole clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Doctor!" she exclaimed, bouncing up and down with excitement.

"Looks like someone's excited," she teased, reaching down to scoop Nicole into her arms. "Let's go get ready, sweetheart. Can you get the twins,Roos?"

Rooster nodded, a smile on his lips as he watched Beatrice and Nicole head towards the oldest Bradshaw’s room. "Sure thing," he replied, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "I'll go get them ready while you and Nicole get ready, okay?"

Beatrice smiled at Rooster, before disappearing through the door "Thank you, Roos."

With that, Rooster made his way to the twins' room,he pushed open the door and was greeted with the sight of the twins, sound asleep in their cribs.

Rooster smiled tenderly at the sight of his sleeping children, his heart overflowing with love for them. He carefully picked up each of them, cradling them in his arms as he whispered soothing words to them.

"Good morning, little ones," he murmured, pressing a gentle kiss to each of their foreheads. "It's time to wake up and get ready to go see the doctor."

The twins stirred awake at Rooster's touch, their eyes fluttering open as they gazed up at him with sleepy smiles. Rooster chuckled softly, his heart melting at the sight of their adorable faces.

"Hey there, sleepyheads," he teased, gently rocking them in his arms. "Are you ready to go see the doctor?"

The twins giggled in response, reaching out to grab at Rooster's fingers as he carried them out of their room and towards the living room. Beatrice and Nicole were already there, getting ready to leave for the doctor's appointment.

"Looks like we're all ready to go," he said, his voice quiet. "Let's head out and make sure the twins are healthy and happy."

Beatrice nodded in agreement, a warm smile on her lips as she took Nicole's hand in hers. "Sounds like a plan," she replied,"Let's go make sure our little ones are in tip-top shape. I already put everything else in the car."

“Perfect,” he says as he sets Gavin and Aurora in their respective carriers, “No,no,” he smirks when she tries to help, “I can carry them, just focus on closing the door,gorgeous,sounds good?”

Beatrice chuckled softly at Rooster's insistence, nodding in agreement as she focused on closing the front door behind them. She couldn't help but admire the way Rooster effortlessly carried the twins, he looked so…attractive, my god.

With the twins securely fastened in their carriers, Rooster and Beatrice made their way out to the car. Beatrice helped Nicole into her car seat before climbing into the passenger seat herself, while Rooster carefully loaded the twins into their car seats in the back.

He walks around and towards the driver’s seat, smiling at her, “Ready?”

Beatrice smiled back at Rooster, latching on her seatbelt. "Ready as I'll ever be," she replied, “Everyone is latched back there too.”

Rooster nodded, his smile widening as he started the engine and pulled out of the driveway. The car hummed softly as they made their way towards the doctor's office, the early morning light casting a warm glow across the landscape.

As they drove, Beatrice couldn't help but steal glances at Rooster, admiring the way his hands gripped the steering wheel…and she couldn’t help but remember how those hands—at the base…well.

Rooster glanced over at Beatrice, catching her eye and smiling warmly at her. "What are you thinking about?" he asked softly, his voice filled with curiosity.

Beatrice blushed, feeling a rush of warmth flood her cheeks. "Just how lucky I am to have you," she replied honestly, her voice barely above a whisper. "You're an amazing father, Rooster. And I love you more than words can say."

Rooster's smile softened at Beatrice's words, his heart swelling with love for her. "I love you too," he murmured, reaching over to squeeze her hand. "Gonna make me blush,gorgeous.”

“I do try.”

They drove in comfortable silence for a while, lost in their own thoughts as they made their way through the quiet streets. Beatrice couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the pit of her stomach, the fear of what could happen to Rooster weighing heavily on her mind.

Rooster glanced over at Beatrice, sensing her unease. "Hey," he said softly, his voice filled with concern. "Are you okay? You seem a little quiet."

Beatrice forced a smile, trying to push aside her worries for the sake of their children. "I'm fine," she replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "Just a little nervous about the doctor's appointment, that's all."

Rooster reached over and squeezed her hand, his touch warm and comforting. "Don't worry," he murmured, his voice gentle even thought he knew it was more than that. "Everything will be fine. The twins are healthy, you’ll see."

Beatrice nodded, "Thank you," she whispered, her voice barely above a murmur. "I know they’ll be okay.”

Rooster smiled reassuringly at Beatrice, his gaze softening as he looked at her. "I promise," he said sincerely, "I'll be right there with you every step of the way. And if there's anything wrong, we'll figure it out."

"Okay," she replied, her voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Rooster."

With that, they lapsed into a comfortable silence as they continued their journey to the doctor's office. The streets were quiet and empty, thank god, which was a surprise considering it was the beginning of the week, “So.” she begins, tapping her thighs, “You said you’d be more, you know, ‘in the front’ now that you got promoted…what does that include exactly?”

“You mean,mission wise?” she nods and he purses his lips, “Hm…well…do you want the boring version or the short version,gorgeous?”

Beatrice chuckled softly at Rooster's question, her curiosity piqued. "I'll take the short version, please," she replied,. "I trust you to give me the highlights."

Rooster grinned at Beatrice's response, "Alright then," he began, his voice laced with excitement. "Basically, my new role involves overseeing a team of pilots and coordinating missions with other branches of the military." he mutters, “I think I said that before, but…basically,yeah, it’s a lot of shit going on.”

“...okay,sorry,” she laughs softly, “I’m just…really trying to not worry already and I’m failing…already.”

Rooster reached over and squeezed Beatrice's hand again, his touch warm "Hey, it's okay," he murmured, his voice filled with understanding. "I know it's a lot to take in, but I've got your back,okay?”

“Okay.”

“Really okay?”

She chuckles softly, “...yeah,really okay.”

Rooster leaned over and pressed a tender kiss to Beatrice's forehead, his lips lingering against her skin. "Atta girl," he whispered, “We’ll be alright,I promise.”

With that, they lapsed into a comfortable silence as they continued their journey to the doctor's office. As they pulled into the parking lot of the doctor's office, Beatrice felt a surge of anxiety wash over her. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves as Rooster parked the car and turned off the engine.

"Are you ready?" he asked softly, his gaze soft and reassuring as he looked at her.

Not really. Not really…she didn’t know why this time it hurt to imagine him far away, away from her, away from her protection - god what was happening with her anyway? She trusted him, she trusted how good he was…hell she was overreacting.

Are you? the goblin voice whispers in her ear, You sure?

And she inhales, shakily, slapping on a small smile, “I am, yeah, let’s go,Roos.”

Stat post time.

The poll with the most votes was Group P (the Death By Glamour one) with 794 votes, followed by Group W (735, Metal Crusher) and Group T (Spear of Justice vs Bergentrückung, 601).

With the least votes is Group C (275), beaten out by Group N (282) and Group L (318).

The average turnout in a poll was about 438 votes.

None of the Uwa! tracks qualified, with none of them getting over 10% of their group's vote. Temperate was the most popular.

Oh! One True Love and Oh! Dungeon were also both eliminated, though Dungeon scored much higher than One True Love.

Death Report qualified, with almost 4x the proportion of votes than Live Report.

In a great injustice, Can You Really Call This A Hotel, I Didn't Receive A Mint On My Pillow Or Anything was eliminated, but Hotel was not.

Spooktune was the only one of Napstablook's house songs that qualified.

The most dominating performance was by Death By Glamour, which was over 615 votes over any other track in its group (77.5%).

The closest race (other than the two ties) was between Reunited and Snowdin Town, by 0.6% (2 votes). However, both qualified.

The closest race that actually resulted in one track qualifying and one not was between the tie of Good Night and Oh My..., and Long Elevator, which was kicked out by 2.5% (9 votes).

Speaking of the ties, there were two within groups, and two in the Danger Zone across multiple groups.

The aforementioned Good Night and Oh My... both got 68 votes or 15.4%. In Group F, It's Raining Somewhere Else and SAVE The World both got 182 votes (32.2%), both winning their group.

Interestingly, two strange occurrences happened. Groups M and U both got 329 votes, and their third place tracks, Reunited and Hotel, both got 53 votes (16.1%). Similarly, Groups B and Q both got 352 votes, and their third place tracks Oh! One True Love and Respite both got 46 votes (13.1%).

The highest-placing tracks by percentage that did not qualify were Spookwave, which got 17.3% but came 4th in its group, and Oh! Dungeon, likewise with 16.2%.

The lowest-placing tracks by percentage which still qualified were For The Fans, which got 6.8% yet still came 2nd, and Menu (Full), the same with 11.8%.

Which brings us to the final results. Here is a post with all the tracks ordered by how many votes they got, and this is a post with them ordered by proportion of votes (also this has that same one, but split by position within the groups).

And below the cut is the seeding of the 64 qualified tracks, and the 36 tracks that didn't make the cut below them.

Daniel Villarreal at LGBTQ Nation:

The Iraqi Parliament has passed a law punishing homosexuals with 10 to 15 years in prison; transgender, gender-nonconforming people with one to three years in prison; and anyone who “promotes” homosexuality with seven years. The law has been criticized by the U.S. State Department and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. Parliament passed the “Law on Combating Prostitution and Homosexuality,” an amendation of a 1988 anti-sex work law, on April 27, with 170 out of 329 members of Parliament supporting the law. Most supporters were from highly conservative Shia Muslim parties, The Star Observer reported. An earlier version punished homosexuality with the death penalty, but that provision was removed after strong opposition from the U.S. and European nations.

In addition to criminalizing same-sex acts and “promoting” homosexuality, the new provisions criminalize individuals who undergo gender-affirming healthcare as well as medical professionals who provide such care. It also criminalizes “wife swapping” and those who dress in a way deemed to be “imitating women.” [...] Previously, Iraq had no laws criminalizing homosexuality. However, authorities there regularly entrap, arrest, and detain LGBTQ+ individuals on vague, trumped-up “morality,” “debauchery,” “prostitution,” and “cybercrime” charges. In jail, they’re interrogated; denied access to lawyers, visitors, or medical care; physically and sexually abused; and forced to sign confessions, often being extorted and blackmailed afterward, Human Rights Watch reported.

Iraq's parliament passes heavy-handed anti-LGBTQ+ extremist law that would imprison gay men with 15 years jail, trans, nonbinary and gender nonconforming people with 1-3 years, and any promoter of LGBTQ+ rights with 7 years. It also criminalizes who have undergone gender-confirmation surgery.

Previously, Iraq technically had no laws criminalizing LGBTQ+ expression; however, authorities there regularly entrap, arrest, and detain LGBTQ+ individuals on vague, trumped-up “morality,” “debauchery,” “prostitution,” and “cybercrime” charges.

Fanfic Writer Questions!

Thanks for the tag, @fazedlight

1- How many works do you have on AO3?

I have 19 works on AO3.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

Do y'all really want to know? Welp. Okay, since you asked.

According to the stats section of AO3, I have published 1,338,126 words on AO3. (Not including my recently deleted fic which was 23,000-ish words).

A million of those words are Korrasami fics.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Korrasami (The Legend of Korra) and Supercorp (Supergirl - Arrowverse).

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Confession (Supercorp) at 854 kudos, which was a rewrite of the end of Season 4.

You are the only one that sees me, trusts me, and believes in me (Supercorp) at 411 kudos, which is a one-shot of Kara telling Lena the truth after Lena is poisoned in Season 3.

Unraveling Realities (Supercorp and sequel to Confession) at 346 kudos, which is a rewrite of Season 5. (Includes Lena's Great Irish Quest and is not a rift fic).

Shared Moments: Book 2 - Spirits (Korrasami) at 329 kudos, and is a rewrite of The Legend of Korra Book 2. I continue this series all the way through to Book 4 (Books 1 through 3 are completed, I'm working on Book 3.5 and 4).

Terminal Velocity, Texts, and Cats (Supercorp) at 215 kudos, and is the story of Lena and Kara's friendship/relationship from season 2 through start of Season 6 (no Totem storyline tho) as told through texts, cats, and carefully woven short scenes. It's a one-shot technically.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes. I will gladly talk to folks in the comments and even have conversations with people! I enjoy it. I do my best to thank commenters too, though it may take me a bit to answer these days.

However, when people shit on my fiction, I learned my lesson, and no longer fall for that trap.

But overall most comments are pleasant and lovely. I love hearing from readers! Feel free to share how you feel and your thoughts on the story.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I tend toward happy endings to be honest, but I'd say the angstiest ending was Shared Moments: Book 3 - Change (Korrasami) because there's no avoiding the angst there. I kept the story arc of Book 3 close to the original, so for folks that have seen TLOK, they know how angst heavy the end of Book 3 is.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of them? Well, except for Book 3 - Change and Book 3.5 - The Mirror. Those aren't happy per se. They are hopeful, yes, but not happy. All other fics have a happy ending.

Maybe Asami's Hidden Box of Letters and Poetry? It's a cute one-shot of Asami and Korra being absolutely adorable, and it ends with them being happy and kissing, so yeah. Probably the happiest?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Ugh, yeah. Weirdly enough I got the most hate on my Korrasami fics, where a few readers would write some really, really cruel things. Or rant about what they wanted me to write. Or engage in fights with other commenters (yes, this happened on the big finale of Book 3 - Change, where the ableist comments squared off with the kind commenters). Or the editor commenter who gave unasked for and unwanted "editing" of chapters.

Strangely enough, I have only had one mean commenter in the Supercorp fandom, and that poster was someone that other commenters warned me about and told me to disregard.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Not really? I will write a vague sex scene here and there -- mostly in the Korrasami fics (my Shared Moments series). I haven't gotten to any sex scenes in the Supercorp fics though a few are coming up in Unraveling Realities.

I try to capture the emotion of the scene rather than describing the sex in detail. I honestly don't feel qualified to write a smut scene, which is why I prefer this approach.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I wrote a silly crossover of Supergirl and The Legend of Korra. It's on Tumblr somewhere -- see my pinned post, I think I linked it there.

I do have a WIP, where Lena builds a multiverse portal only for it to open in the Avatarverse, and her and Kara accidentally end up stuck in Asami and Korra's world. So then Korra and Asami have to help them build a portal and find their way home again. I don't know if I'll ever finish it.

I also have a Star Wars Korrasami WIP. This one involves Asami and Korra assisting in the Battle of Endor with Luke, Leia, Han, and crew. They then help with the building of the Republic.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes, I was pissed. Please don't do that.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of. If anyone wants to translate one of my fics, let me know. I'm willing to talk shop.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

@nottawriter and I are working on a Supercorp fic, though it's not published. It's where Lena and her daughter meet Kara, who is their home inspector.

Beyond that, I've only ever co-written original fiction. My friend, Raveneye and I wrote an original science fiction story. It was written in the form of "letters," where one person was on the space station (Raveneye's character) and one person on the alien planet (my character).

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

Korrasami. Supercorp is a close second.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I will finish all my WIPs someday!! Unless I die before that happens. *knocks on wood* But I guess the Supergirl/TLOK crossover is least likely to ever be finished.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Worldbuilding and immersion of reader in the five senses.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Pacing. Honestly. pacing makes me anxious, and I'm always convinced I'll fuck it up, especially in longer works. (And yet, I write mostly longer works. Go figure).

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I have done this. Spanish and Irish in particular. (Kryptonian as well now that I think about it). I include translations in the end-notes.

I do it mostly for the reader to feel the same emotions as the POV character who struggles to understand the other language. Does this trick work? So far comments seem to imply yes? But who knows?

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Korrasami.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

I have to pick one??? I don't know actually.

I'm pretty proud of my rewrite of Book 2 - Spirits and Book 3 - Change. I'm also proud of Confession, especially how I reworked Lena's role in the Red Daughter fight scenes.

But I like all my fics equally well to be honest. I mean why write them otherwise?

For Tags... ummmmmm.

I have no idea who has done this and who hasn't? If you have done this, apologies for the tag. Let me know and I'll go read your version. @thecasualqueer, @nottawriter, any of my mutuals, and anyone else who wants to play.

Written for @eddiemunsonbingo

Square: C1 Slow Burn

Title: Slow Burn

Rating: Teen

Word Count: 329 (The art is the submission)

Ship(s): Eddie Munson/Steve Harrington, Steddie

Major Tags: Love Confession, Song Lyrics, Rockstar Eddie Munson

Summary: Art submission for Eddie Munson Bingo with a little ficlet for context. Eddie Munson performs a song for his secret love on Saturday Night Live wearing nothing but his guitar and combat boots.

Link: AO3

So instead of Kacey Musgraves, Eddie (with Corroded Coffin, new band, or solo - whichever) is the first person on Saturday Night Live to perform completely nude (apart from the boots).

~Ficlet below the cut~

No one is surprised that Eddie would pull something so risqué. After a few underwear trial runs, everyone concedes that the guitar covers more of his body than expected. More than at least one of the suggested alternative outfits for his SNL spot.

However people are surprised, that while Eddie's first performance in the show was of his latest single with his traditional electric guitar and blaring vocals, the nude performance isn't just physically 'stripped down.'

He's chosen to play an older single on his acoustic he's used since high school to write songs on. It's considered even odder that the song he's playing is one he did live three years ago, the last time he was on SNL.

All the 'creatives' agree that the number works. The shock of the tonal shift in Eddie's proposed pitch sells the executives as something marketable. Whispers of it definitely likely to 'go viral' get the whole thing approved.

'Slow Burn' did well on the charts, but this version... without the drums and the electric guitar the song sounds so much more personal, vulnerable. It's much clearer that it's a love song. Eddie even dropped the tempo down. The whole thing is downright romantic. There'd been a long rumored 'muse' for Eddie Munson, and all week the cast speculated who it could be; who made the famously wild, controversial, and tatted musician sing like that?

Saturday night finally comes, and Eddie plays the song with 'bisexual lighting' that eventually becomes redder and redder. At the same time, burning fire graphics grow visually stronger, displayed behind him.

When it ends he looks out into the audience and says, "Steve, you gotta know by now that I wrote this for you. I wanted the world to know I've loved every second of our slow burn."

The camera pans up to a handsome man in the gallery, light sparkling in teary eyes, his hand gripping the fabric of his shirt over his heart.

Preview: Gladiator Chapter 329

What starts as another day of preparation for Azula's impending labor takes a wild turn when the Princess confesses something quite embarrassing to her midwife: Song must recalculate Azula's due date with this new information, finding her baby might arrive far sooner than they expected.

Rei is tasked with rushing out of the Palace to find Mai and Ty Lee while Song attempts to calm down a panicking Azula: the Fire Lord, too, must be informed of his daughter's current state sooner than later...

Something that genuinely drives me crazy is how the fandom treated the music clubs reaction to the recording

“Why didn’t they hear him out!!” Didn’t he bully them since middle school? Idk man if I was in the music club I’d be acting that way too

And what’s even worse is how the fandom acted like the music club was the asshole in the situation💀💀

confession #328

exactly?? likr the music club and zander's distrst towards jake is totally justified

@lyn-js

They stay there for a while, just…enjoying the silence. It’s been a while since they stayed like that, just sitting together, watching the ocean. She hums, pressing her temple to his shoulder, looking at him from time to time - he cried for a few minutes ever since they got there and she couldn’t blame him,really. It was a lot that happened in…hours.

From seeing old friends to having some weird guy mention his mom…she doesn’t blame him. “Hey.” she calls softly and he looks down at her, a small smile on his face “You feeling better?”

Rooster nodded, his smile widening as he looked into Beatrice's eyes. "Yeah, I am," he replied softly, his voice filled with warmth, "Being here with you, it...it helps."

Beatrice's heart swelled with love at Rooster's words, a soft smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "I'm glad," she murmured, reaching up to brush a stray lock of hair away from his forehead, "You deserve to feel at peace."

Rooster leaned into Beatrice's touch, closing his eyes as he savored the warmth of her hand against his skin. "Thank you, Bea," he whispered, his voice barely above a whisper, "For everything."

Beatrice smiled, her heart overflowing with love for the man sitting beside her. "You don't have to thank me, Roos," she murmured softly, "I'll always be here for you, no matter what, you know that."

They sat together in silence, the sound of the waves lapping against the shore serving as a soothing backdrop to their thoughts. Rooster felt a sense of gratitude wash over him as he basked in the warmth of Beatrice's presence, his heart filled with a profound sense of peace.

After a while, Beatrice broke the silence, her voice soft and tentative. "Roos," she began, "Do you want to talk about what happened back there?"

Rooster's smile faltered slightly at Beatrice's question, his brow furrowing as he struggled to find the right words. "I...I'm not sure," he admitted quietly, "It's just...a lot to process, you know?"

Beatrice nodded in understanding, her hand reaching out to squeeze Rooster's reassuringly. "I know, Roos," she murmured softly, "But I'm here for you, whenever you're ready to talk about it."

Rooster sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly as he leaned back against the cliff. "It's just...seeing John and the others, it brought back memories that I'd rather forget," he confessed, his voice tinged with sadness, "And then him mentioning my mom...it just hit a nerve, you know?...a big one"

Beatrice's heart ached at the pain in Rooster's voice, her fingers tracing comforting circles on his hand as she listened to him speak. "I know.”

“She wouldn’t want me to lose it.”

“Well…you didn’t lose it. You just lunged at him, but you didn’t hit him.”

He pursed his lips “I wanted to though.”

Beatrice's heart sank at Rooster's admission, her own frustration bubbling up at the thought of someone mentioning his mother in such a careless manner. She reached out to cup Rooster's face in her hands.

"I understand, Roos," she murmured softly, "But you're stronger than that. You didn't let it consume you, and that's what matters."

Rooster nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips at Beatrice's words. "Yeah, you're right," he agreed quietly, "I guess I just...I don't know. It's hard to let go of the past sometimes."

Beatrice squeezed Rooster's hand “I know it is, Roos, don’t I know it" she replied softly, "But you are doing really well…therapy has been helping you a lot. Dr.Paulson would be proud of you.”

Rooster's smile softened at Beatrice's mention of Dr. Paulson, the therapist who had been instrumental in helping him navigate through his past traumas. "Yeah, Dr. Paulson has been a godsend," he admitted gratefully, "I don't know where I'd be without him."

Beatrice nodded in agreement, her heart swelling with gratitude for the compassionate therapist who had helped Rooster heal. "He's helped you in more ways than one," she murmured softly, "I'm just grateful that he came into our lives when he did."

Rooster leaned his head against Beatrice's, "Me too," he murmured softly, "You know…”

“Hm?”

“I think this is what it is,right? This…” he arches his brows “I feel fulfilled.I got you,I got the kids…I got the job— now the promotion.I’ve been angry for many years and I never felt like I was doing enough. It was fucking empty.”

“...Roos…”

“When I met you, god.” his smile turns soft “I just felt–I wanted to be yours.”

Oh.

Beatrice’s cheeks reddened. He never said that to her before. Her lips parted in surprise and her eyes widened “...w-what?”

Rooster's smile grew wider at Beatrice's flustered response, his heart swelling with affection for the woman sitting beside him. He reached out to take her hand in his, his touch gentle and reassuring.

"I wanted to be yours," he repeated softly, his voice filled with sincerity, "From the moment I met you, I knew that you were someone special. Someone I wanted to build a life with."

Beatrice felt her heart flutter at Rooster's words, her cheeks flushing even brighter as she met his gaze with wide eyes. "Roos," she whispered hoarsely, her voice thick with emotion, "I...I don't know what to say. You did mentioned you wanted me to be yours but…"

“I know…I know…” Rooster smiled, his thumb gently caressing the back of Beatrice's hand as he leaned in closer to her. "You don't have to say anything," he murmured softly, "Just know that you've changed my life in ways I never thought possible."

Beatrice felt tears prickling at the corners of her eyes, her chest tight with overwhelming emotion. She leaned into Rooster's embrace, resting her head against his shoulder as she allowed herself to revel in the warmth of his love.

"I love you, Roos," she whispered softly, her voice barely above a whisper, "Gosh,I can’t believe you are making me cry!!”

"Are you okay?" he asked softly, his voice filled with concern, "I didn't mean to make you cry."

Beatrice smiled through her tears, her heart overflowing with love for the man sitting beside her. "I'm more than okay," she replied softly, "I'm just...overwhelmed by everything you've said. you are so sweet, Roos."

Rooster's smile widened at Beatrice's words, his heart swelling with affection for the woman who had captured his heart. "I'm glad," he murmured, "Because you mean the world to me…Do you want to stay here a little longer? We could watch the sunrise together."

Beatrice's eyes lit up with excitement at Rooster's suggestion, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "I would love that," she replied eagerly, "It sounds perfect. I don’t want to get back to the hotel yet."

Rooster grinned, his heart swelling with happiness at Beatrice's enthusiasm. He squeezed her hand gently before rising to his feet, pulling her up with him.

"Then let's stay," he said, his voice filled with excitement, "I want to watch the sunrise with you by my side."

It doesn’t take long for the sky to begin to lighten with hues of pink and orange, Rooster felt a sense of peace settle over him. He leaned his head against Beatrice's, his heart overflowing with love for the woman who had become his everything.

"It's beautiful," Beatrice murmured softly, her eyes fixed on the horizon, "Absolutely breathtaking."

Rooster nodded in agreement, his gaze never leaving Beatrice's face as he watched the sunrise reflected in her eyes. "Not as beautiful as you," he whispered, his voice filled with reverence.

Beatrice blushed at Rooster's words, her heart fluttering in her chest at the intensity of his gaze. She leaned into him, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips as they watched the first rays of sunlight break through the clouds.

They sat together in silence, lost in the beauty of the moment as they watched the sunrise together. And in that moment, Rooster knew that he was exactly where he was meant to be - with Beatrice by his side, watching the world awaken with a sense of wonder and awe.

As the sun rose higher in the sky, casting its warm glow over the ocean, Rooster felt a sense of renewal wash over him. He knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, as long as he had Beatrice by his side, he could face them with courage and strength.

"Thank you for being here with me," he whispered softly, his voice filled with gratitude, "For everything."

Beatrice smiled, her heart overflowing with love for the man sitting beside her. "Thank you for loving me.”

“You are easy to love,gorgeous.”

“So are you.”

He chuckles softly, “You never had any doubts about me?”

Beatrice shook her head, a soft smile playing on her lips as she looked into Rooster's eyes. "Never," she replied, "From the moment I met you, I knew there was something special about you. Something that drew me to you like a magnet."

Rooster's heart swelled with affection at Beatrice's words, his gaze softening as he reached out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Yeah?”

“Of course.”

“...I mean,I know you were attracted to me and if we weren’t such chickens we’d be together before but…” he hums, “I dunno,it just makes me happy. Y’know, seeing you working at the bar was always great.”

She grins, kissing his cheek, “You wanna know one of my favorite memories at the bar before we dated?”

"Tell me," he urged softly, a playful grin tugging at the corners of his lips, "I'm all ears."

Beatrice chuckled, her cheeks flushing with excitement as she recounted the memory. "Okay, so remember that night when you and the guys showed up, being pilots and all.” he rolls his eyes with a smile, “And then– gosh, feels weird now, but I was like,admiring you.”

“Oh?How so?”

Beatrice blushed at the memory, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment at her own admission. "Well," she began, "I may have been...checking you out from behind the bar. You know, admiring the view."

Rooster's grin widened at Beatrice's confession, a playful glint in his eyes as he leaned in closer to her. "Is that so?" he teased, his voice filled with amusement, "I never knew I had such an admirer."

Beatrice rolled her eyes playfully, swatting Rooster's arm with mock indignation. "Oh, hush," she scolded, her laughter bubbling up between them, "You know you liked the attention."

Rooster chuckled, pulling Beatrice closer to him as they shared a moment of shared laughter. "Maybe I did," he admitted, his tone softening as he looked into her eyes, "But you always ran away from me, I had no idea then.”

Beatrice's laughter faded into a warm smile as she leaned into Rooster's embrace, her gaze meeting his with affection. "Well, I…just was nervous, you know….

Rooster chuckled, his arm tightening around Beatrice's waist as he pulled her closer. "I always knew there was something special about you."

Beatrice's smile softened into a tender expression as she looked up at Rooster, her heart swelling with love for the man beside her. "And I always knew there was something special about you too," she murmured, her voice filled with sincerity.

As the sun rose higher in the sky, casting its warm glow over the beach, Rooster felt a sense of gratitude wash over him. Gratitude for Beatrice, for their love, and for the countless moments they had shared together.

"Gorgeous view.” but he wasn’t looking away from her “Sunrise too,but.”

“Roos.”

“What? I’m serious, why look at that when I can look at you?”

She scoffs softly, shaking her head and gently shoving his shoulder “You remain relentless.Lt.Commander.”

Rooster chuckled at Beatrice's playful retort, his heart swelling with affection for the woman beside him. He leaned in closer, pressing a tender kiss to her cheek before pulling her into a warm embrace.

"I can't help it," he replied with a grin, "You're just too beautiful to look away from."

Beatrice laughed softly, her heart fluttering at Rooster's words as she leaned into his embrace. She gazed up at him with adoring eyes, feeling a rush of warmth flood her chest at the intensity of his gaze.

"You're not so bad yourself, Lieutenant Commander," she teased, her voice filled with affection, "I guess I can tolerate your relentless charm."

Rooster grinned, his eyes sparkling with mischief as he leaned in to capture Beatrice's lips in a tender kiss.

My Top Posts in 2022:

Updates from The Eclipse Talk (including P'Golf, P'Yokee, P'Prapt) about Kanthua/Neolouis:

1. P'Aof directly casted Neolouis along with First Khaotung without any auditions (actually, they were already looking for scripts for them so P'Prapt wrote the novel, KT sent photos of his tattoos to P'Aof etc etc)

2. Kanlong was the most difficult character for the author to write (Akk being the easiest because the novel version is just like the author) because he was a bit cartoonish/manga/anime-like with his nature (the show doesn't really do justice to that side of it)

3. Because Neo asked for his character to be serious, the staff accommodated and the writer also wrote back stories for Kanthua in the series

4. Due to Neolouis' acting and chemistry, a lot of their romantic scenes were improvised on set (they're not in the scripts!) and therefore, increased. (Louis said this in an interview and I cannot recall if this was mentioned in today's talk?😂 Sorry 😂)

5. This is definitely mentioned in the novel but because they also asked will say - Kan means horny; his name is actually just Long so his name means "Horny Long"

6. Oh, Kan doesn't actually have internalised homophobia. He is just afraid to confess to a friend

7. Edited: They said acting for Louis was a bit of a challenge because of the difficult nature of Thua's character

(Will post about First - Khaotung in sometime)

I hope there's enough noise on Twitter that Disney notices we want Cody in season 2 and then they give us a variation of that script

Part 2 of the Eclipse Talk:

1. GMMTV was already looking to cast First Khaotung as a couple; they were waiting for the right script makes sense cuz they've been shipped off screen for far longer and GMMTV usually gets pairs with good chemistry and years long friendship

2. P'Prapt (the writer) was actually commissioned to write a bl novel in a school setting with political inclinations - the rest of it is his inspiration

3. His inspiration besides 1984 was Love, Simon because of the coming off age/self discovery thing

4. P'Aof (Director of Bad Buddy/ATOTS) was given the script and directly asked the 4 main leads to be casted and asked Khaotung if he had tattoos - all the tattoos in the series are his own

5. KT has a harder time to get out of the character and leaned more into the Ayan being depressed thing unlike the novel

6. The author came up with their MBTIs on spot. I think Akk was INFP. Not sure on this one

7. The staff really wanted to make sure that the show was queer friendly and felt inclusive to people of other races too (like in the café scene)

8. Unlike other Bls, they didn't want to waste time on the characters dwelling on having feelings for people of the same gender - they're all comfortable with the sexualities but hindered by their respective problems/nature

9. The ultimate message of the show isn't just about self acceptance in terms of sexual orientation or gender but just coming into terms with who you are (for example, Wat, Sani) and being true to yourself and accepting who you are

(If I recall anything else, will add later)

My #1 post of 2022

When Morpheus stomps away and we have Hob waiting for him, playing songs with the lyrics "she drives me crazy", waiting for her, moving on, one after the other was sure a choice.

Today, the Church remembers St. Basil the Great.

Ora pro nobis.

Basil of Caesarea, also called Saint Basil the Great (c. 329 AD – January 1 or 2, 379 AD), was the bishop of Caesarea Mazaca in Cappadocia, Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). He was an influential theologian who supported the Nicene Creed and opposed the heresies in the early Christian Church, through voluminous writing, teaching, and preaching against the errors of both Arianism and the followers of Apollinaris of Laodicea. His ability to balance his theological convictions with his political connections made Basil a powerful advocate for the Nicene position.

In addition to his work as a theologian and bishop, Basil was known for his care of the poor and underprivileged, especially after a great famine arose during which he sold all that he had, distributed it to the poor, built a hospital, and personally cared for the plague victims. The hospital, called the Basileiad, was a house for the care of friendless strangers, the medical treatment of the sick poor, and the industrial training of the unskilled. Built in the suburbs, it attained such importance as to become practically the centre of a new city. It was the motherhouse of like institutions erected in other dioceses and stood as a constant reminder to the rich of their privilege of spending wealth in a truly Christian way. He lived and preached the social obligations of the wealthy so plainly and forcibly. St. Basil was a practical lover of Christian poverty, and even in his exalted position preserved that simplicity in food and clothing and that austerity of life for which he had been remarked at his first renunciation of the world.

Basil established guidelines for monastic life which focus on community life, liturgical prayer, and manual labor. Together with Pachomius, he is remembered as a father of communal monasticism in Eastern Christianity, and his writings were referenced by St. Benedict, the father of Western communal monasticism, in his monastic Rule.

Basil, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa are collectively referred to as the Cappadocian Fathers. The Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Churches have given him, together with Gregory of Nazianzus and John Chrysostom, the title of Great Hierarch. He is recognised as a Doctor of the Church in the Roman Catholic Church. He is sometimes referred to by the epithet Ouranophantor (Greek: Οὐρανοφάντωρ), "revealer of heavenly mysteries".

St. Basil died before the struggles to define catholic, orthodox Christianity were settled, due largely to the strictness of his ascetical manner of life, his tireless work in preaching, teaching, and writing, and from his ceaseless care for the poor.

Almighty God, you have revealed to your Church your eternal Being of glorious majesty and perfect love as one God in Trinity of Persons: Give us grace that, like your bishop Basil of Caesarea, we may continue steadfast in the confession of this faith, and constant in our worship of you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, One God; for you live and reign forever and ever.

Amen.
