Terms of Endearment - Brothers and Dateables
Lucifer: My love, my dear
Lucifer tends to use the more traditional pet names for his partner when he does use them, which isn’t very often. He will call you my love or my dear when he’s particularly pleased or feeling sentimental, and he’s also known to use them when you’re upset. 
Mammon: My human, my baby/babe
Mammon regularly uses nicknames for his partner that begin with my like my human or my babe/baby. He really just like anything that sounds possessive because it shows everyone how you belong to him. They’re not super sappy names though because he has his tough reputation to live up to. 
Levi: Henry, true friend, normie
Levi uses a lot nicknames because there’s something super embarrassing and vulnerable about using your actual name. He uses casual nicknames, almost joking ones, like normie or Henry. He likes hearing you laugh when he uses them but he blushes like crazy if you ever use on one him. 
Satan: Kitten, darling, Watson
Satan is all about the romantic nicknames; typically he will use something like darling or kitten, especially when he is in a good mood. However, he will sometimes use Watson when he is in one of his chaotic or fun moods. Watson may be his favorite honestly because it just shows how great of a team you are. 
Asmo: Hun, darling, beautiful/gorgeous, sweetie, anything goes.
We all that Asmo uses nonstop pet names. It’s second nature to him to call you anything cute that he can think of: hun, sweetie, darling, gorgeous. He’ll even make up random little nonsense names like ‘my sugar free cupcake’ because he loves to see how far he can take it before you call him out on how ridiculous he’s being. 
Beel: Honey, sweetheart
Beel is a very simple guy. He’s not going to use flowery nicknames or use them all the time.Typically, he’s going to use your name or maybe a shortened version of it, but if you catch him in a particularly soft mood or if he’s trying to comfort you, he might call you honey or sweetheart. 
Belphie: Idiot, princess/prince
Belphie, like Beel, doesn’t use nicknames a lot but he does it more than his twin. Belphie will call you idiot like a term of endearment and then call you princess/prince and make it sound like an insult. Honestly, he just enjoys riling you up. If he’s actually trying to be nice, he will call you his dream. 
Diavolo: My queen/king, actual name
Diavolo looooves nicknames. He didn’t grow up with them or any friends to use them on so he tries out all different kinds with you at first, figuring out what you both liked best. He loves to call you dearest (since you’re the person he cares about most) and once you’re in a serious relationship, he likes to call you his king/queen. Once in a while he’ll throw out something like “pookie” because he heard someone else say it and it always leads to a good laugh. 
Barbatos: My lady, actual name
Barbatos follows a strict set of rules and has perfect manners which means he’s not known for using nicknames. He thinks even using someone’s first name can be incredibly intimate based on his station but, deep down, Barbatos is incredibly soft, especially for MC. When they are alone, he’ll regularly call them ‘love’ or ‘my heart’. He uses these because he claims you are the person who brought love into the heart he forgot he had. 
Solomon: My better half, something based on an inside joke
Solomon enjoys using nicknames but almost all of them are a joke. He typically uses embarrassing moments or inside jokes to come up with them and they change out regularly. It wouldn’t be weird for him to call you something like ‘spilled milk’ or ‘my croissant’. But, during serious moments or when he’s introducing you to someone, Solomon likes to call you his better half because that’s exactly what he thinks you are. 
Simeon: lamb/little lamb, sunshine
Simeon goes 50/50 with pet names. Like Barbatos and Beel, he most enjoys using them in private but he’s certainly not ashamed to use them in front of people if he thinks the moment calls for it. He most commonly calls you lamb or little lamb and it’s always said so fondly that it makes up for any condenscion you might feel. He will also call you sunshine because he claims you not only light up the Devildom but also his life.

I was re-reading yan!mom Rhaenyra's hcs and read that if bby!reader was a male he would be engaged to Helaena, Baela or Rhaena (much to Rhaenyra's chagrin). So I was thinking of bby!reader as a kid hearing that Helaena may eventually marry Aegon and running to his mom to ask if the rumor is true, and his mom just says yes because she doesn't want her baby to get married with Alicent's daughter. BUT SHE WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE ARGUMENT WITH HER LITTLE BOY.
Bby!reader with his small stature and head held high: Can we agree that Helaena deserves better than foolish Aegon?
Rhaenyra: Yeah…
Bby!reader: Do we agree that there is no one better than me in this world and therefore I am the best option for Helaena?
Rhaenyra about to have a heart attack: Baby, much to my regret if one day you have to marry it will be one of Daemon's daughters.
Baby Reader, with a smile and taking his mother's hands in his: I'm not denying marrying Baela or Rhaena, I'm simply saying that I can ALSO marry Helaena.
Yan mom Rhaenyra: . ..
Bby reader: Aegon the conqueror had two wives and Maegor had more than three, why couldn't I marry Baela, Rhaena and Helaena?
Daemon who was just passing by and heard the conversation, now glued to the door listening to how Rhaenyra is having an aneurysm: …
Rhaenyra: . .. .
Baby reader speaking with all the innocence in the world: Besides, no one is going to oppose mom, I am a Targaryen prince and rider of a three-headed dragon, as well as the second in succession to the iron throne.
Yan mom Rhaenyra, having a tic in her eye: You're not getting married, I'll make sure it doesn't happen--.
Baby reader about to cry: If I ask Grandpa Viserys, he will grant it to me.
Rhaenyra: .. .
Tumblr media
Daemon: Damn, this kid is a true Targaryen.
Tumblr media
Polygamy is not strange to Targaryens, especially Maegor. But over the years this practice fell into disuse and Viserys is not in favor of this, but it is funny to imagine this scene happening because it is very possible.
Rhaenyra does not want to see her precious bby marrying anyone. She does not want you to have a wife, let alone three. She does not want to be replaced or that you love another woman other than her.
One wife might be accepted, much to Rhaenyra's dismay, but three wives? Oh, sweet, maybe you're going to have to deal with some issues.
In the meantime, I imagine Helaena and bby!reader would already be very close, Alicent encourages that her favorite grandson spend time with her children, especially with her daughter and she could not be happier to see you getting so well with Helaena. Rhaenyra would be irritated and as a form of retaliation, she would encourage you to spend more time with Rhaena and Baela, with the blessing of Daemon and Rhaenys.
However, I think this marriage could work out. Like, I really think this polygamic relationship would work, Rhaena and Baela are sisters and get along very well, Helaena would probably get along with her cousins and bby!reader gets along with all. It could work.
You know, we had Aegon and his sisters. Maegor and his six wives (Henry VIII vibes right there). And now we have Y/N and his cousins ​​and his aunt.
Viserys isn't really in favor of polygamy but I can see him granting it to bby!reader as a way to please his grandson, much to the chagrin of Rhaenyra and probably Alicent. Because you know, Alicent doesn't mind marrying her only daughter to bby!reader, but she isn't a big fan of the fact that he married Rhaena and Baela either. And Rhaenyra we all know why, she is so freaking possessive of her bby.
Daemon is literally laughing at the situation, like his stepson is actually a real Targaryen. He doesn't care about the wedding, as long as bby!reader and Rhaena and Baela are happy, he's fine with that.
While Rhaenyra is freaking out about all of this-
Tumblr media

Obey Me! Brothers + Diavolo Nickname Headcannons
My nicknames for all of the brothers (plus Diavolo) and a little bit on how they would react. (I might do one for the other dateables, not too confident about how to write them.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucifer
Starlight: He's known as Lucifer Morningstar, but calling him by his last name would be lame. Instead, Starlight is way more endearing. Just don't call him that in front of anyone else. (He will 100% flush and scold you.) Lord Diavolo will defiantly think it's cute.
Lulu or Luci: Another 'Don't you dare says this with anyone around.' Though it's best to call him this AFTER you've made a pact with him. At least at that point, he trusts you. He will definitely glare at you, and you will die on the spot if not. (Lulu will grumble about not calling him that as you pet his head.)
Lucifer: Best option in general. He's proud of his name and wants everyone to know it. (As if they don't already.)
Mammon
Magpie: You would have called him Crow instead, but Magpie sounds cuter. Especially after finding out how Magpies collect Shiny things to put on display for potential mates. (Mammon will proudly show off his car and jewelry to you and blush whenever you say how shiny they are.)
Mams: To be honest, this man will be smitten with you within the first week. So calling him by his designated nickname will be a must.
Bonbon or Monmon: Calling him Bonbon (along with Magpie) is a sure way of getting him to blush. He'll get all pissy about the human giving him these stupid names, but if you stop, he'll demand why his brothers get nicknames and not the 'Great Mammon.' (He would totally lay in bed and squeal about how he's your little Monmon/Magpie.)
Leviathan
Levi: Generic nickname everyone calls him. 
Levi (Le as in level, vi): This is my inner dick coming out. He'll get all red and fussy about it. Went on about how 'That's not how you say it', and 'stupid normie doesn't know how to pronounce my name.' (He will lose his shit if you say his full name the same way.
Guppy or Levi-chan: Leviathan.exe has stopped working. The dude would have to go through a hard reboot before responding. Poor thing doesn't think an icky otaku like him deserves a cutesy nickname from you. (Mf does.)
Lord of Shadows: He'll get all excited about it. He Probably will hug you, calling you his 'Henry' before getting his bearings and freaking out about what he did. (Probably disgusted for doing a 'normie' thing.)
Satan
Sate: Pretty sure he doesn't have a nickname, or at least one used consistently (Like a certain red-eyed demon). Doesn't act like it's a big deal. (He secretly likes having a nickname).
Saint: Another 'to be dick' nickname. If you do this before you establish a friendship/pact with him, he WILL want to kill you for the stupid joke. (If you do so after, he'll just be annoyed)
Satan: You can't go wrong with calling him by his name. 
Kitten: A guaranteed way of getting him to blush. Especially if you scratch behind his ear as you do it. He'll be red and lost for words. (He might start to purr if you keep petting him.)
Asmodeus
Asmo: Another generic nickname.
Az or Azzy: He'll think it's cute. Probably will refer to himself as your 'Azzy'. (Won't let anyone else call him that.)
Princess: This man will SQUEAL. He's gonna tackle you and give you hugs and kisses. Don't you dare ever call him anything else ever again. He'll get all pouty about it. (He will call you his prince charming.)
Beelzebub
Beel: Another generic nickname!
Bumblebee: Flies and gnats aren't cute, but you know what is? Bumblebees! It especially helps that they have similar wings. The first time you called him it, he was so confused. When you showed him a picture and explained, cutest little smile ever. (You'll never tell him it's also because he has a huge ass like one.)
Honeybee: Another case of explaining it and him being all cute. Likes the idea of being seen as a friendly baby boy. Another reason for the nickname is that he's such a sweetheart, sweet like honey. 
 This was just too cute not to share > Bees
Belphegor
Belphie: Woah, another generic nickname!
Cow: He'd probably get all pissy that he didn't get a cute nickname like his brothers, even more so after you call him it. I'm sorry but this bitch killed us, he's not getting a cute nickname. (He'll glare at you from his napping spot.)
Calf: First time you called him it, he pouted. He won't ever complain about it, though he'll pout every time. (Secretly likes it. He'll happily think about it before every nap.) 
Bell: Won't think much about it since it's similar to his other nickname. (Give him a collar with a bell on it, I dear you.)
Diavolo
Diavolo: This man got so excited the first time you called him by his first name. To be honest, it just slipped out, and you panicked HARD. (But after seeing his gummy smile you realized you did well.) 
Dia: Another case of this man beaming, probably raving about it to Barbatos. "The human gave me a nickname! :D"
Sunshine: Dia is like a shining light in Devildom, usually upbeat and positive. So when you called him sunshine (after asking to give him another nickname.), he gushed. 100% hugged you and twirled around, laughing the whole time. One time, you called him sunshine during a meeting. He got so happy, face flushed, eyes closed, and a massive smile on his face. (Lucifer was mortified and scolded you for 2 hours.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been thinking about these damn nicknames for days I tell you. I couldn't take it anymore. I had fun writing this, I think it's all so cute.
Check out my Masterlist for my art and writings. :D

Your top three comfort fics are all so good…but they’re all also pretty popular. What about a top three under 300 kudos👀
I am SO INTO what you're putting down here, anon... except for the fact that I can't fucking sort my bookmarks by kudos 🤣 so this took a little longer than I expected! I've split the RWRB fics into two: ones published this year that might just be low because people haven't had the chance to read yet, and ones from 2023 and earlier that are hidden gems. Also, please check out my Five Under 500 List from the end of October, because a couple of those are still under 300 and they are all ABSOLUTELY WORTH A READ.
Once again in no particular order:
Top 3 under 300: Red White & Royal Blue (published 2024)
Going Stag by @cicigreen03 - SERIOUSLY an underrated gem and I have no idea why, y'all are MISSING OUT. Alex is hosting Liam and Spencer's bachelor party at the lake house, Spencer's douchey colleague Hunter invites himself along... and brings his boyfriend. You'll NEVER guess who the boyfriend is.
you were more than just a short time by @hypnostheory - MIND. THE. TAGS. But this is absolutely, one thousand percent worth the pain.
Paper Chains by @myheartalivewrites - y'all I tried to do the thing where I quote specific lines from this fic to scream about and I could not bring myself to stop reading long enough to do so. It is an INCREDIBLE journey and one you won't regret going on.
Top 3 under 300: Red White & Royal Blue (published 2023 and earlier)
Spoke Love to Soul by @celaestis1 - honestly my eyes glazed past this as I was skimming down my bookmarks list because I just ASSUMED it would have way more kudos but???? I LOVE a mythical retelling as evidenced by the Orpheus and Eurydice WIP in my folder and this one is STUNNING. A true, true treasure.
Sip You Like Cosmic Juice by @sparklepocalypse - okay listen this one's sitting on EXACTLY 300 so I'm squeaking in while it still applies but: RUGBY THIGHS. That is all.
I want to play a game by @hgejfmw-hgejhsf - Listen it's not a secret that my love of Saw (especially the first one) is like half my personality, so this may not be MARKED as a gift for me but in my heart I tell myself it is 🤣
Top 3 under 300: Schitt's Creek
Town Hall Meeting #5,204 by the_hodag - Genuinely incapable. of reading this without laughing hysterically, actually
The Midpoint by @roguebebe - The roguest baby's first fic and fucking HELL it's stunning. Chock full of Patrick and Stevie feelings, my favourite kind.
You Can Ring My Bell by @designatedgrape - A 5+1 from the POV of the bell over the door at Rose Apothecary, which naturally means it's actually extremely tender and sweet
And as a bonus because why the fuck not...
My favourite fic of mine under 300 kudos
For RWRB it is of course Empty your heart of its mortal dream, fae prince Henry my beloved.
For Schitt's Creek there's absolutely no question: Time until the end of time, the afterlife fic I co-wrote with @ships-to-sail aka a 65,000 word treatise on grief, growth, and our effects on the people around us.
[Sleepover Saturday]

2. PLEASE a flashback of baby Alex seeing the picture of baby Henry in the J14 magazine I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT
3. Henry’s (and Alex’s) insomnia (because I am also an insomniac and it’s an important part of their characters I feel)
4. ALEX’S GLASSES PLEEEEEASE
5. Star Wars including the Leia and Han references/mural and Henry’s favorite movie being Return of the Jedi because THATS MINE TOO❤️❤️ and also “bit short for a stormtrooper”

8. Nora’s extrapolated data about Alex’s obvious crush lmao
9. RED ROOOOOOOOOM
10. “Fucking eyelashes” and also “good to know. I am very, very gay.”
11. The stupid titles they use in their emails like His Royal Horniness and Alex First Son of Off-Brand England
12. BABY and LOVE and SWEETHEART I normally hate pet names (minus love I adore that one always) but I am a SUCKER for Firstprince pet names specifically
13. I’d love to see a flashback to young Henry coming out to Bea even for just a second
14. I NEEDNEEDNEED a shot like this in the movie
Tumblr media
(Art by vkellyeart) but yes give me a shot like this where they’re on opposite ends of the world “two parentheses enclosing 3700 miles”
15. “Say good morning to your strumpet, Henry.”
16. So I know we won’t get the Hoe Dameron and Prince Buttercup kimonos anymore (sadness) but LET NICHOLAS GALITZINE BELT HIS HEART OUT TO QUEEN I BEG
17. Since we don’t get Cash wearing one SLAP A BRIGHT PINK FEATHER BOA ON AMY PLZ
18. Bea’s lime green drop-waist Wimbledon dress with gold honeybee Gucci sunglasses fight me Ellie Bamber would rock that look
19. So I know we know they don’t dance to Your Song in the V&A but I hope Henry still plays it on the piano or at least it plays somewhere in the movie cuz i love that song also JUST HENRY PLAYING PIANO IN GENERAL PLZ AND LET ALEX LOOK AT HIM WITH SEVERE HEART EYES and then Henry falling asleep on Alex and Alex just laying awake like Well Shit
20. “Most things are awful most of the time, but you’re good.”
21. Alex’s vocabulary apparently only being expletives when Zahra busts in on him and Henry lmao and “yes we can unpack the ironic symbolism later GO” and also “I thought you were getting into international relations or something” “I mean technically—“ “if you finish that sentence I’m gonna spend tonight in jail” 😂😂
22. THE POWERPOINTS HAHAHAH and “You need to figure out if you feel forever about him”
23. “Should I tell you that when we’re apart, you body comes back to me in dreams?” Speech and also the story about the prince with his heart outside his body that met the most dashingly gorgeous peasant boy who said absolutley ghastly things to him that made him feel alive for the first time in years
24. “Sometimes you just jump and hope it’s not a cliff” and “But the thing is, jumping off cliffs is kinda my thing. That’s the choice. I love him, with all that, because of all that. On purpose. I love him on purpose.”
25. Dear Thisbe, I wish there weren’t a wall. Love, Pyramus
26. Obtuse fucking asshole and “I fucking love you, okay?” And “when have I ever, since the first instant I touched you, pretended to be anything less than in love with you?” And “I want you— then fucking have me— but I don’t want this” and ok basically you get it their whole goddamn rain-drenched love confession scene
27. The morning after, when Henry says that all the royal shit of “fine” isn’t good enough for him and tells Alex he wants him to help him try to be happy and the chance of a life? That’s one of my favorite scenes if not my absolute favorite and I don’t even know what I need out of it but I know I need it to be PERFECT, including Henry sayings he’s been in love with Alex since they met❤️❤️
28. Prince Consort Road picture plzzzz and everything that happens in the V&A but ESPECIALLY them dancing and “taking a picture of a national gay landmark and a statue”
29. “I want you to know, I’m sure. A thousand percent.” And “I completely fucking love you”
30. AN INCOMPLETE LIST. IF WE DONT GET ALEX NARRATING THE INCOMPLETE LIST WITH A HENRY MONTAGE IN THE BACKGROUND, WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE MOVIE????
31. “You and me and history, remember? Because you’re it, okay? I’m never gonna love anybody in the world like I love you.”
32. I want Ellen’s reaction to Alex being outed, and Zahra’s as well, with both of them being so supportive. But especially “do you feel forever about him?” “Yeah, I do.”
33. “I won’t lie. Not about this. Not about you.”
34. The crowd outside the palace and the crowds around the world supporting Henry and Alex oh my god i just know imma cry there
35. “You are the absolute worst idea I’ve ever had” Alex’s speech “America: he is my choice.”
36. The suitor pictures
37. Henry’s yellow rose of Texas tie
38. Alex taking Henry to his childhood home is a very small wish but I’d still love to see that
39. Finally, I REALLY hope the movie gives us some kind of epilouge like I don’t even care what kind I just want a future thing where we see them happy in the future at a wedding or literally just sitting together I don’t even care I just want one❤️❤️
I am SO sorry this turned out a lot longer than I expected but goddamn I love this book and I’m so excited for the movie my brain needed something to do lmao

RWRB Bullet Comments Part 2: NY First Kiss
Hi I'm back with another bullet comments post! This time the new year's kiss as requested by @tal-vez-o-quizas!!!
⬇️ Is what the screen looks like lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
How the hell did Alex find him
Puppy is looking for footsteps
ohhhh the little prince is jealous lol
My entire screen is filled with laughter
Confession under the Moonlight
It's not about culture shock, mostly Henry's jealous, oh I feel so bad for the prince
This scene is shot so beautifully!
The scenery here is so pretty!
God, this is such an artistic shot
this part 5:20, thank you uploader (the movie was uploaded in parts, 520 sounds similar to "I love you" in Chinese)
Henry: May the gale that rushes into the blossom Caress her and never let her be broken (A Chinese poem about being understood)
His socks and shoes are soaked
Oh Henry is so sad...
Henry's nose is red ahhhhh it's adorable
look at the prince's teary eyes
Puppy doesn't know what he did wrong, but puppy knows to ask
At midnight he really wanted to kiss Alex, but he is a prince, he can't, and now he's depressed
a great virtue of Alex's: apologizing even with he's not sure what he did wrong
This movie is so cute
Get ready get ready!!!!
The little prince is so pretty
Henry baby you're so pretty
Henry kind of looks like a grown-up Prince George
An English Rose (describing Henry)
The prince really looks like a blue-blood
Wow they even included steamy breaths
This is such as fantasy
Look, a snowflake fell onto Henry's shoulder and melted
This is a beautiful fairytale
"Be a writer live in Paris" is a (Oscar) Wilde meme
Breaking News: The prince of England wants to live in Paris hahahaha
The prince of England has too much hair this is sci-fi lmao
Why does everyone in English-dominant areas have some sort of longing fantasy towards Paris? What's so good about Paris anyway?
English people: Wait, live in Paris? No no no no no you can't
Ohhhh and then they went on a date in Paris
Everybody look carefully! Henry's lips are already swollen… they shot a lot of takes for this scene, and he can't even cover the swelling lmao
Those who desired me I have no interest in, yet those I desire I cannot have (my English translation of a very poetic fan translation of the "people I date don't interest me" line)
Here to watch the British way of hair-grabbing
*a lot of exclamations and feral screaming
The kettle is boiling (aka intense screeching sounds)
Brave Kitty!!!!
Wow Wow Wow WOW WOW WOW
The first son is actually responding to the kiss!
So soon? I'm screaming!!!!
That's a passionate kissing-back, Alex
I straight up turned into a rubber chicken
I'm just gonna quietly pull back the progress bar a couple million times...
FUCK!!!
Henry kissed Alex just because he wanted to pour his feelings out, he didn't imagine Alex would kiss him back
I fucking love how straightforward this is
Ahhhhhh I'm blushing I'm blushing I'm fully pink now
Puppy wanted to keep kissing, Kitty stepped back first
I'm crawling on the floor
HE DIDN'T REJECT THE KISS
Oh damn Alex wants more
OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS
DON'T BE SHY KISS HIM BACK
...Okay, so to briefly summarize: The shot is pretty, Alex is a good boi, Henry is pretty, Fuck France (no offence French Folks sorry lmao especially my friend @alittlefrenchtree😂) , screaming at the kiss
Yup there's you go!!! Lemme know what scene to do next!!!:D

I accidentally deleted the following ask I was sent by @queenmorganlafay:
Hi. In a previous post, you mentioned that Rhaella might have crowned Viserys by touching her crown to his forehead. Is this something that’s done in real life, to bestow power on child kings and consorts?
(Referencing this ask)
There have certainly been changes to coronation rituals when child kings have been involved. Henry III was infamously crowned as a child not with a great crown of state (though the original St. Edward's Crown appears to have been one of the few crown jewels King John did not lose in the Wash) but with a corolla belonging to his mother, the dowager Queen Isabella; Edward VI too, although crowned with both St. Edward's Crown and the imperial crown, wore a crown specifically made to be light and small enough to fit the nine-year-old king's head. Likewise, when Mary, Queen of Scots was crowned at nine months old, Cardinal David Beaton simply held the crown over the head of the infant queen, rather than attempting to make the baby wear it. Too, there have been coronation rituals in history where a monarch uses their own crown to symbolically confer power upon another monarch: Nicholas II of Russia, for example, crowned his wife Alexandra by first placing his own magnificent imperial crown on her head for a moment before removing it and giving her the consort's crown instead. There can also be modifications, sometimes amusing, to a coronation ritual when circumstances demand it: when Charles of Valois, son of King Philip III of France, was acclaimed as King of Aragon during the Aragonese Crusade, for example, Cardinal Jean Cholet used his own galero (the wide-brimmed red hat of a cardinal) to crown young Charles, earning him the nickname roi du chapeau. 
In any event, the reason there is so much room to speculate here is because Targaryen coronations have been anything but consistent when it comes to their form or rituals, especially those responsible for the actual act of crowning. Queen Visenya placed the crown on Aegon the Conqueror's head at his first coronation (as she would later for her son Maegor), in the Aegonfort, while the ruling High Septon did so at his second, Oldtown coronation. Aenys I was presented with a crown by the High Septon when he became king, but it is unclear whether this represented a true act of coronation (as Aenys was also said to have "donned his father's iron-and-ruby crown" after the funeral of Aegon I, whereupon "Grand Maester Gawen proclaimed him" king). The ruling High Septon did the honors for the young King Jaehaerys I, but Gyldayn remains silent on any accession ceremonies for his grandson and heir, Viserys I (we'll leave aside the Stepstones coronation of Prince Daemon by his future father-in-law, Corlys Velaryon). During the Dance, each rival faction had its own coronation, with Criston Cole placing the Conqueror's crown on Aegon II's head and Prince Daemon crowning Rhaenyra with the crown of King Jaehaerys. (Though it is worth noting that Queen Alicent was reported to have placed her own crown on the head of the new queen, her daughter Helaena.) Aegon III appears to have been crowned by the High Septon, and the young king himself crowned his (first) queen, Jaehaera - though after Fire and Blood Volume 1, details on Targaryen coronations grow even more scarce (we know, for example, the High Septon crowned Daeron II, and we know there were coronations for Jaehaerys II and Aerys II, but little else). 
So in the last days of the Targaryen monarchy, as Queen Rhaella and her exiled household on Dragonstone watched an aristocratic revolution sweep away the old dynasty, the widowed queen may have decided to invent her own ritual of coronation for her sole remaining son, not only because there was little if any established precedent but also because she herself had limited resources at her disposal. If she herself had worn a crown as she sailed to Dragonstone (as Viserys and Daenerys certainly had such a piece for a time in Essos), she would not have had Aegon IV's ostentatious crown (worn by her husband), nor almost certainly the crowns of Aenys or Maekar (whose fates after the lives of their known bearers remain unknown). Nor could the High Septon sail to Dragonstone in the last hours of the civil war to acclaim young Viserys king, even if he had wanted to do so. In turn, maybe Rhaella figured that she was the only one on Dragonstone with the symbolic, regal standing necessary to confer the mystical aura of kingship to young Viserys. If a born Targaryen like Queen Rhaenys could crown a king, and if a Targaryen queen by marriage could crown her daughter as queen, then she, Rhaella, could crown her son as king, she might have thought - and if she lacked the proper coronal equipment traditional for a Targaryen king, she would simply use the crown she had on hand, already invested with her own queenly authority. Aerys II, perhaps, had crowned her queen (s Aegon III did for Jaehaera), or at the very least she had become queen at the moment he became king; by a sort of transitive property, then, Rhaella perhaps placing her crown on Viserys' brow may have linked the son to his father as his heir and successor. We don't know that any of this actually happened, of course, but if it did this is what I think might have been Rhaella's thinking on the matter

Eagerly awaiting Spare 2: The Chamber Pot of Secrets
Now that the media furore has died down a bit and we've all had time to think, what can we say about the Spare?
Well, first of all, I'd say Harry has been set up.
Again.
And he's too dim to see it, because he's being told (by someone in particular and probably a few other hangers-on as well) that "his truth" is important. And he believes it. Harry's "truth" has been filtered by money-grubbing bottom-feeders, and now H prefers to believe that "their truth" is "his truth"; that they love him more than anyone else; and they know what's best for him.
So:
(1) Harry can't distinguish his truth from reality. We've known this for a while, but so many new *facts* coming out... it's really taking the pee-pee. "Harry's Truth" isn't the same as facts. A fact is a piece of information that can be proven to be true; it stands up to rigorous scrutiny, especially by rigorous professional fact-checkers, who quickly noted that bit about the XBox, of which I freely admit I know nothing, but even I managed to check it out on the internet in about ten seconds. Did nobody fact-check Spare? Oooh, apparently not. Why not? And King Henry VI... And the Queen Mum's death... and the rest of it. Which leads us on to:
(2) Harry took (and is possibly still taking) Class A drugs and assorted forms of happy-juice, even to the point of stoking himself up on the wife's gas as she prepared for labour, which is despicable. He's such a feminist he took her meds for her!!! A**hole. I gave birth three times (homebirths, without meds; Princess Madafu wasn't around at the time so I did the painful "manly" work of squeezing babies out of my bum all by myself...) and I just want to deck Harold for interfering with his wife's meds. But drug use messes up your brain, Harry. So do grubby compliant therapists, by the way, who are rubbing their hands in glee at all the $$$ you hand over - they're on to a good deal and it's not in their financial interests to sort you out by Month 6 of Therapy when they can trick you into Year 6 of Therapy... or Year 16... or Year 26...
(3) He's envious of William and Catherine. This shines through. His older brother married the love of his life, a woman who has devoted herself to her man and the RF and between them they've produced three gorgeous well-grounded little ones and a firm base on which to take the RF forward. The Prince and Princess of Wales have learned from the mistakes of the unfortunate previous generation of royals, whereas Harry is now an "Oh dear" in the footnotes of the monarchy. And this leads us on to:  
(4) Harry has no respect for Charles and Camilla. The Queen Consort is and always has been Charles's lighthouse and security from the storms of public life. Charles should never have been pushed into marrying the naive teenager Diana, but that's how it was back then - that's how history works! Charles was expected to marry a blushing virgin bride he hardly knew. Harry, aren't you glad you were allowed to marry a several-times-up-the-maypole divorcee? You learn from history, right, so that you don't repeat the same mistakes. Of course that involves being aware of history, which Harold isn't; he's only aware of how time healed his frostbitten todger and saved it for someone who could use it to her advantage. Over-sharing, Harry! Please shut up! Nobody wants to know! And then there's:
(5) Harry has no respect for the British Public. Or the Commonwealth. Or the army. Even enemy soldiers have families; mothers, fathers, wives, children - they are not chess pieces to be removed. Personal remembrance: my Gt-grandma's brother was KIA in 1916; my Gt-grandad served in the same war but never spoke about it; my Grandad served in WW2, never spoke about it - he showed me his medals, once. Once. Once only. The only things I remember him saying about the war were the "safe" bits - that he spent some of it in Canada training Canadian troops and got to see Niagara Falls, and mailed all his chocolate rations back to his wife and infant son. My late brother in law served in the Coldstream Guards, never spoke a word about how many men he'd had to shoot; he took all that to his early and leg-amputated death. What happens in the army stays in the army, Harold; it's not for personal validation.
(6) He hates the British Media. Supposedly because his mother was killed by paps (in France; not British paps) when the world knows she died because she wasn't wearing a seat-belt in a car that crashed at speed driven by a DUI driver. Oh and he also hates the British Media because Meghan is Diana.2 and... wait, what? No she isn't. She wants him to believe she's Diana.2. If it's not drugs doing his head in it's Megadiana. How many paps have tried to run Catherine off the road in a tunnel in Paris? How many paps have tried to take topless pictures of her - ooh, there was one, but it wasn't in Britain, I'm pretty sure it was in France and the magazine was sued for it, so not in Britain then. Not British Media. Not British paps. And let's not forget that Diana was more than capable of manipulating the pap shoots she wanted... remind you of anybody?
(7) He still has mummy issues, decades later. This is just not normal for a grown man. I'm sure Harry loathes being compared to his brother but what the heck, I'm going for it! Two young boys, both suffering from the untimely loss of their mother. Yet William doesn't have mummy issues, or at least if he does he doesn't hang them out to dry for a voracious public airing. It's no good saying that Harry is more sensitive, he's not - he just hasn't grown up, and those around him are keeping him trapped in the net of mummy issues instead of allowing him to mature into the adult he should be; he's not the man he thinks he has become. And I still keep coming back to why, so let's move on to:
(8) His therapy isn't working and he needs a proper psych evaluation. The people he thinks are helping him just aren't. They are milking him for the cash cow that he has become. The RF and whatever PR they use appear to have done everything to protect Young Harry from this, right down to convincing us that he was a high-spirited Jack-the-Lad, fond of a little tipple but devoted to his country and the army veterans he served alongside. Take away the RF and the carefully scrutinising PR machine, and he is ripe for the plucking. And boy, is he being plucked. Every last feather.
Now this next one is a bother:
(9) He can't see his own hypocrisy, has zero empathy for anyone, and cannot see how "his truth" - his own words - can damage others. Others including his own mother, his father and step-mother, his wider family, his army colleagues, the wider British public who are all a bunch of racists, apparently. Harry has a lot of short-comings. No doubt there'll be "Spare 2: The Chamber of Secrets" and he'll blame his short-comings on his frozen todger, but the lack of self-awareness is pathetic. He cannot see his own failings, refuses to take responsibility for his own actions, and blames everyone else. So what can we say? Is he really so stupid? Or is he in some sort of "Cult-Of-Himself" delusion, promulgated by his Feather Pluckers?
(10) The awful wife wears Harry's man-bits and is conspicuous by her absence, as she journals and squirrels away evidence for her divorce lawyers. Yep, I think we're all agreed on that one!
My personal opinions only, as they say in reputable circles.
Love and peace.

Once Upon A Time OC ✨
Royal Return —> Cadence Nolan 🎯
Tumblr media
Full Name (given by the royals & Rumpelstiltskin) : Princess Mi Amore Cadenza aka Cadence Nolan
Cursed names: Skylar Lane, Annie Marley Danvers
Nicknames: Cadence, Cadie or Cady, Denza, Sunburst, Princess, The Littlest Charming, Princess Charming
Height: 5’6
Birthplace: The Enchanted Forest
Family: Her parents and one of her brothers are dead. Her big brother Prince Charming, David Nolan is alive. And so is everyone else is alive.
Seasons: 1-7
Face Claim: Melissa Benoist
Half of the Family Tree —> Her brother David, sister in law Snow, niece & nephew Emma & Neal. Her grandson Henry and sister/half mother in law Regina. (This family is a complex one ngl but theses are the main ones)
Tumblr media
Friends: Ruby, Regina, Rumple, Hook, Jefferson and others she meets along the way. Of course, you also the The Dwarfs aka Grumpy and his family of brothers.
Romance: Ex-boyfriend, Rider. Other than that currently single and ready to mingle.
The titles she takes on: Princess, Farmer, Knight, Retriever and on occasion, Pirate.
Her most notable title is: Princess & The Pea, it’s why she can be so annoyed and stuffy sometimes. Also it’s why she tends to challenge people on deals and play on both side of an agreement. Never judge a person by their momentary appearance.
Relations: She works for Rumple and Evil Queen, search & retrieving items for them for a good price in return. Pretending to be a princess and warriors for the royal family she placed into with her older brother David.
—-
When Cadence became a princess due to the deal with Rumple, she never thought it would somewhat boring. Sit still, look pretty and pretend to be romanticized with the other royals of the kingdom, she wanted to know more than just stay in the castle walls. Which lead her to find Rumple and challenge him a deal for a high rank, he didn’t need a maiden of any sort, due to him already having Belle, but he did need someone to search the forests and retrieve items for him.
And Cadence agreed shortly after. Two days later she returned with a mirror ball from Wonderland and Rumple was more than impressed. The man was happy and knew she will be a very helpful asset. His Royal Retriever he liked to call her.
Eventually he started to work with her, giving her a special necklace and bracelet for she can always find her way back. Her dresses were more practical clothes on occasion for being on the field.
She met more than a few people on her travels and one of them being Snow White. In which a week later, Bandit Snow White met her brother Prince Charming.
—> Snow nickname her Cadie, short for Cadence. Even called her princess a few times. Little did they know they would be family soon enough..
—-
Time after during the curse came, it was pure chaos and she fought alongside her brother, making sure Emma ended up in the wardrobe safely.
Cadence held Emma in her arms and placed the necklace comfortably around her.
David gasped, “Cadie, that’s your necklace you need it. That how you get around the realms.”
“Emma needs it more than I do. Find her way home.” She repiled placing the baby in the wardrobe with a smile.
David placed a sad smile and kisses his daughter forehead whispering a few words closing the doors.
Both siblings told side by side fighting the guards, sadly they got hurt. Charming more than Cadenza…
Regina arrived with a crazy look on her face as her spell brought everyone to Storybrooke..
—-
In Storybrooke, she was cursed to be a women named Skylar Lane. One of the bakers of the town, always bringing sweet treats and flowers to the people of Storybrooke. Especially to Mr. Gold and Mayor Mills on a daily basis.
She knocked on the door, “Afternoon, Regina.”
She opened the door kindly, “Good afternoon, Skylar.”
She noticed the look on her face and asked if she was okay. Regina explained that Henry was gone, she reassured her that afternoon that he will show up soon. She was dragged to the Police Station by the Mayor to see the cops know where he is.
That’s where she met Emma Swan, trying to help them find Henry with her best friend, Mary Margaret advice. To say Regina was pissed off was a understatement, she just wanted her son and ready to lock anyone up if it meant she can get the job done quicker. Skylar had to be the voice of reason for both sides, telling Regina to stay home while Emma went looking for Henry.
Skylar went to visit a coma patient at Storybrooke Hospital under the name, John Doe, she visited the man very week talking to him, bringing flowers and sweets in hope he would wake up. She felt connected to him, like they were friends or something stronger. Little did she know that’s her big brother (Henry would tell her that tale later). She would play with her bracelet as she spoke and would always leave giving the man a gentle squeeze on his shoulder. But he never woke up..
—> Emma stayed in town, of course. She was glad, especially when the blonde moved in with Mary Margaret because that mean Skylar got to see both women on a daily basis after catching up with Ruby at the Dinner. She became friends with Emma Swan, sharing stores, drinking together and giving each other advice. Skylar always tended to help Emma on cases around town such as the Mary Margaret arrest, Ashley’s situation with Mr. Gold, The issue with John Doe, and so much more.
Stranger things kept happening in the town involving everyone who lived there. Skylar even felt it too, especially when her ex-boyfriend who mothers hated her kept showing up to try and win her back, she stupidly said yes to a date and her ex-boyfriend trying to even kidnap her. Emma saved the day of course.
----
With everything that happened, Skylar felt odd. The shift in the air felt stronger than ever, she picked up on the little things. Words, phases and movements in the town. Especially after hearing Henry Mills talk to her about being a character in his storybook…
Her curiosity was brought to light when she delivered Emma her favorite type of donut to the station, noticing the necklace. Emma shrugged saying the necklace was something she had since she was a baby, however the clasp in the back got weak.
Skylar suggested that she’ll take it to the jeweler, her jeweler being Mr. Gold, for a retighten. Emma heisted for a moment but agreed wanting it back by sundown, at least.
She agreed taking the necklace off her hands noticing the fine details. The rich vintage gold details, the engraved chested green and white diamonds shaped into swirling around one around like a flower shinning around daylight. It reminded Skylar on her very own bracelet, lost in pieces at home. She stepped into Mr. Gold’s shop with a smile.
He was waiting for her, patient for her loyal curious self to walk in. Mr. Gold has been awake from a while now and waiting for her to be. The more people awaken from the curse and not down for the count, the better.
“What can I do for you today, Ms. Lane?” He asked, noticing the necklace and bracelet in her hands with a smile.
“Ms. Swan needs the clasp in the back of her necklace tighten.” She replies simply, handing it to him to examine.
“Ah, I see. And why not take it somewhere else?”
“Because I know you can do the job better and give it a fine cleaning.”
He noticed the look in her eye, something he’s been noticing rather recently ever since her kidnapping. She tried to hide it, most of the time she could cover up the look on her face but like Charming, David Nolan, she couldn’t.
She sighed, “Miss Swan says that this necklace belong to her, saying that she assumed her parents gave it to her before she was given up..”
“And?” He asked hoping that the real women behind that curse persona would shine though and speak up.
“I have a bracelet that is oddly similar at home..what if..what if, they’re a match? Same jeweler or something. Ever since Emma came, in felt drawn to her..”
“Like love of some kind?”
“No love, like I know her. Her and Mary Margaret act the same way..can you look into it?”
“I need the whole necklace and bracelet to do so.”
She smiled, running off to her small apartment complex searching for the broken bracelet. It was always a rather shatter piece of jewelry, she brought for half price years ago. The green diamonds were missing but the white stayed the same, never fallen off. Skylar return the piece to Mr. Gold and went to continue her day at the diner, working alongside Ruby and being dragged on a case with Emma.
It was a long day, Skylar couldn’t be more tired and out of breath from everything, however she promised Emma that necklace to be returned safely and surely to the loft. Mr. Gold smiled when she walked in, he’s been working on the necklace and bracelet all day. They were freshly tighten, cleaned and the diamonds were engraved the way they should be.
“Y-you fixed them?” She said in awe, gently holding them in her grasp.
“Try them on.” He replies with a smile, standing behind the counter.
“Alright.”
She placed the bracelet swiftly on her wrist as if it shined, feeling a awing source within her and chuckled. Mr. Gold told her again, wear the bracelet and necklace. She hesitated since it doesn’t belong to her, it never has, but she did it anyway. It couldn’t hurt right? It’s just a necklace.
The second Skylar placed the necklace firming on her neck, having the diamonds facing the correct direction and such. She ran her fingers across the jewelry smiling and turned away thanking Mr. Gold about to walk out when she paused. She gasped harshly, a sharp wave of memories and emotions washed over from the moment she was recruited to be a princess to the day she put Emma in the wardrobe.
Skylar blinked tempering with the new found information and looked over her shoulder to see Mr. Gold leaning against the counter with a soft smile.
“Is something wrong, my dear Mi Amore?” He asked as his smile grew seeing the look in her eyes.
It took her a moment to speak until she said, “Nothing Rumple, I think we need to talk.”

Shots Fired: Part 2
Pairing: Alex Claremont-Diaz x Henry Fox
Summary: Alex is out of surgery...
Part 1 here
Words drifted in in pieces.  His head felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he couldn’t feel his side.  His limbs felt heavy, and his mouth was so dry.  “....surgery went well…”  “...pain medicine…”  “...suspect in custody…”  “...numbers look good…”  “...Henry…”  That got Alex’s attention.  He tried to sit up, but he was so tired.  “Henry?” he tried to say, but it came out sounding more like a garbled moan.  Weird.  Slowly, he opened his eyes, squinting against the sterile white lighting.
He was in a hospital, that much was clear.  A nurse was adjusting his IV bags, and he offered Alex a smile.  “Good to see you awake, Mr. Claremont-Diaz.”  “Henry,” Alex said, more clearly this time.  “Henry.”  “Yes, sir, Henry is here,” the nurse said.  “So is your mother, your sister, father, and step-father.  I’m sure they’ll be in to see you soon now that you’re out of surgery.”
Alex felt a surge of relief that Henry was here.  He was so tired, but he forced himself to stay awake, at least long enough to see him.  A moment later, the door opened, and Ellen entered, closely followed by Henry.  “Oh, my baby!”  Ellen was immediately at his bedside, clutching his hand and kissing his face.  “Ma,” Alex slurred, whatever pain meds they’d given him kicking in. “I’m here, Sugar, I’m right here.  Oh Lord, you gave us a scare.”
Henry remained in the doorway, not wanting to intrude on a family moment.  Ellen took several deep breaths, cupping her son’s cheek.  “You’re gonna be just fine, darlin’.  The doctor said you’ll be just fine.”  Alex nodded, knowing his mother would likely make a PowerPoint about what had happened later.  Gunshot Wounds and You.  Ellen was stroking his hair, and he leaned into her touch.  For a moment, he was a little boy in Texas again, coming to his Ma after he had a bad dream.
When Alex opened his eyes, they landed on Henry.  Henry, who was standing in the doorframe.  Henry, who had clearly been crying.  Henry, who was too far away from Alex for his liking.  Alex lifted a hand weakly, reaching out towards the Prince.  “Henry,” he croaked.  “Baby…”  Henry let out a soft cry, and Ellen turned to look at him.  “I’ll let you two be,” she said, rising from the chair at Alex’s bedside.
Once she was gone, Henry moved to his boyfriend’s side, taking his hand and kissing it, blinking his tears back.  “Baby,” Alex repeated, and Henry managed a small smile.  “My love,” he said.  “My heart, Alex.  God, I thought…”  Henry trailed off, and forced himself not to cry.  Alex was here, he was alive.  “Baby,” he said, squeezing the Prince’s hand.  “Don’t cry, Hen.  I’m right here.”  “Alex, you were shot,” Henry said.  “I’m well within my rights to be worried.  I almost lost you, my darling.  I was so worried, Alex, I was terrified.”
Alex squeezed his hand again.  “I’m sorry, baby.  How…how did you find out?”  “I couldn’t sleep,” Henry answered.  “And something told me to turn on the news.  And I saw…I was on a plane within a half hour.”  Alex’s heart squeezed at the thought of his boyfriend in his rooms at Kensington, turning on the T.V. to learn he’d been shot.  “And you flew across the ocean to be with me…”
Henry lifted their joined hands and kissed Alex’s knuckles.  “My darling, I would do anything to be at your side, especially when you need me.  I love you, Alex, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you.”  Alex was crying now, and Henry wiped his tears away, pressing a kiss to his forehead.  Henry cupped his cheek, and Alex turned his face into the touch, his eyes fluttering shut.
Before Henry could say anything else, Alex’s nurse, Zack, entered.  “Sorry to interrupt,” he said.  “But we got some labs back.  Mr. Claremont-Diaz, your hemoglobin is a bit lower than we’d like it to be, so we’d like to hang another unit of blood.  I have some forms for you to sign before we do that, though.”  Alex nodded, taking the clipboard from Zack and signing the papers attached.  “Alright, we’ll be back in a bit.”
Zack returned about 15 minutes later, another nurse in tow.  Henry watched as they checked and double-checked Alex’s ID band against the computer, the computer against the blood bag, and the blood bag against his ID band.  New IV tubing was hooked up, and once the transfusion was running, Zack pulled a chair into the room from the hallway.  “I have to sit with you for the first 15 minutes,” he explained.  “Let me know if you feel any itching, shortness of breath, or any sort of pain.”  Alex nodded, and Henry returned his complete attention to his boyfriend.  
15 minutes passed without incident, after which Zack took Alex’s vitals and ducked out of the room.  “Hen?”  “Yes, my love?”  “I can’t feel my side.”  Henry nodded, his lips pursed.  “I’d expect that’s normal, dear.  You did have major surgery.”  Alex hummed.  “What exactly happened?”  Henry took a deep breath before explaining.  “The bullet hit your kidney.  Apparently, they were able to remove it and fix your kidney as much as they were able.  The doctor said they’re going to monitor your functions and go from there.”
Alex nodded.  “Was I…the target?”  “No, love,” Henry assured.  “They don’t know much on that front yet, but you weren’t targeted.”  Alex laughed softly.  “Some luck I have.”  Henry bent forward and kissed him, lips soft and gentle.  “Yes, some luck you have.  You’re alive, Alex, you’re here.”  He hummed, accepting the kisses Henry was all too eager to give.  After a moment, Alex spoke.  “We should turn on the news,” he said.  “See if they think I’m dead.”
Henry rolled his eyes, but obliged, turning the T.V. on and finding CNN.  “A statement from President Claremont was just released, stating that Alex Claremont-Diaz is stable and out of surgery.  The President thanks the public for their support and asks that her family’s privacy is respected at this time.”  “Aww,” Alex said.  “I was hoping they’d think I’m dead.”  Henry scowled.  “Alex!  That’s not funny!  You…you nearly…I…”
He dissolved into sobs, and Alex, reached out for his hand.  “Henry, baby, come here.”  It took some coaxing, but Henry eventually found himself curled into Alex’s uninjured side, his face in his chest, Alex’s arm around him.  “I’m sorry, baby, you’re right.  It’s not funny.”  Henry only cried, clutching Alex’s hospital gown.  “I’m alright, H, I’m right here.  I love you, you know that, right?  I love you so fucking much.”
Henry lifted his head, kissing Alex’s cheek.  “I love you too, darling.  I was just so scared I’d never see you again.”  “I was too, Hen.  I was scared I’d die without getting to tell you I love you.  Without getting to see your perfect face again.”  Henry kissed him again, wanting to drown in him.  “Is my phone here?”  Henry looked around, finding a clear plastic bag full of Alex’s things.  
He handed Alex his phone, also finding his–technically Henry’s–signet ring too.  “Here, love,” Henry said, sliding the ring onto his finger.  Alex smiled, kissing Henry’s hand before raising his phone and snapping a selfie.  He posted it to Twitter and Instagram with the caption: “I lived, bitch.”, something he knew would have Zahra in a tizzy.  Alex yawned, letting his phone drop to his side.
“I’m tired, H.”  Henry nodded, once more taking his hand.  “Then sleep, dear.  God knows you’ve earned it.”  Alex smiled, settling back against the pillows.  “Love you, baby,” he said, already dropping off, and Henry beamed.  “I love you too, Alex.  I’m staying right here with you.”  Alex nodded as he fell asleep, and Henry felt a knot in his chest loosen.  Alex was alive, Alex was alright.  Whatever came next, he could handle, because Alex was alive.

Darling, you look wonderful tonight.
Alex and Henry have been together for almost three years, and plans for the future are at the backs of both of their minds. Little does the other know they may have the same idea for the perfect anniversary gift. And that by the end of the night, they are going to be the soon-to-be The Diaz-Fox's, both of them already choosing what last name they'd take into married life.
And Then He Asks Me, Do I look Alright, And I Say, Darling, You Look Wonderful Tonight.
Read On A03 Here
Click On More To Stay Here to Read
“Sweetheart, have you chosen a suit for our anniversary dinner yet? ” Henry asked the week before, wanting to make sure that they both had what they wanted ready to go, he knew Alex wasn’t one for fancy dates or fancy suits, but it felt like a special occasion ( it was going to be one ), the suit he’d chosen was a baby blue suit with a dark blue shirt, with gold accents, something Alex often told him brought out not only the color of his eyes but made the golden hues of his hair shine too, getting reservations at L’Artusi had been difficult, but he’d managed it, how he wasn’t sure, but wanted to show Alex off, show the world just how pretty the man he loved was. His gift had been a challenge to get, then again Alex would argue it was Henry’s because how do you get someone’s ring size without asking them and alerting them to your plans?
Alex rolled his eyes playfully as he put down the book he’d been trying to read and wrapped his arms around Henry, bringing him into a soft, sweet kiss “Dont worry, your pretty head baby, I’ve got it specially made at that place you told me about, like a good boy”. Henry would have argued that Alex very rarely listened to him and wasn’t a good boy but he didn’t want to ruin the soft mood they had going. Alex had made sure that he got a suit that would compliment his features and complexion, he didn’t want to disappoint Henry, after all, he knew the place they were going had taken him months to secure a reservation for their anniversary itself, shocking really, but he also knew that this was part of Henry and his love language so never said anything, even if he did feel it was slightly excessive.
In secret, Henry had asked Nora for help, and Henry had asked Pez, how the other never caught wind of what was going on was a mystery, but then again, why would they question their friends asking questions about jewelry and watches, it seemed like a normal conversation, especially since, being with Alex, Henry had started to wear more feeling more comfortable with expressing himself, that, and Alex had given him one of the many rings he wore and it comforted him, especially now his signet ring and Alex’s old house key were stored in their memory box. Sneaking around felt wrong, but the good kind of wrong, and well if anything, Aunty Pez would be glad to see Henry happy, and Nora had always known that deep down Alex wanted to marry, he just hadn’t known it.
And Then He Asks Me, Do I look Alright, And I Say, Darling, You Look Wonderful Tonight
Henry’s phone is resting on the nightstand his romantic songs playlist is playing as he’s putting the final touches to his outfit, inside his jacket pocket sat a ring box, on the inside was a ring, a beautiful silver band, with the inscription on the inside And because of this handsome peasant boy, the prince's armor began to fall away. A memory of the story he’d once told Alex, it was their story, a story being written at the time, it was still being written now, but Henry had let the final part of his armor down and was now proud, he wasn’t afraid of the world, because in Alex, he found a new strength, a new hope for life. Now his and Alex’s love was his armor and he was ready to stand at whatever came at him….at them.
The soft melodic music was echoing through their place, causing Alex to smile where he was getting ready, his deep crimson suit, white shirt, and black tie had all been chosen for a reason, inside his jacket pocket was the ring he’d chosen for Henry his too was inscribed, his was more of a paraphrase from one of their old emails, but it still meant a lot to him, he wanted to show he’d meant it then, and he’d mean it always. Tengo a mi Príncipe, que me adora genuinamente, el rey de mi corazón y de mi alma. His was of course in Spanish because he was a romantic nerd, but he also knew Henry loved it when he spoke Spanish, so why not give him a small amount to carry with him each day?
Alex walked into his and Henry’s bedroom, as the sound of Wonderful Tonight started to play, he lent in the doorway for a few moments before he was spotted by his other half and brought into his arms, the taller male pressing a kiss to Alex’s cheek as he slow danced with him, something they hadn’t done in a long while, humming softly along to the soft music, his lips pressed to Alex’s ear as he sang along, changing the words as he went, so it suited them more, “And then he asked me, do I look alright, and I say yes my darling, you look wonderful tonight.” He brought his hand up to Alex’s chin and pressed a soft kiss to his lips, it was true though, he did look wonderful, and the suit had been the perfect choice.
I feel wonderful Because I see the love light in your eyes
At dinner they were shown to their private room, something Henry had asked for if it were possible, mostly because he didn’t want everyone getting wind of what may happen, he wanted to keep that between himself and Alex, of course, they’d tell their friends ( in reality, Nora, Pez, and Bea ) We’re already well aware of the plans they both had and found it amusing that the two men who’d been too stubborn to see how deeply they were in love, were now planning to ask each other to marry them on the same day. It was going to be perfect, that’s if they both got over their nerves and stopped asking so weirdly.
“ Sweetheart, are you okay, you’re unusually quiet?” Henry’s voice broke through Alex’s thoughts as they sat waiting for their main course to be brought out, he was so used to the animated and excited way he spoke that he thought he had broken, or that he’d gotten overwhelmed by everything. Alex swore to himself, he’d not noticed he’d been that quiet then again, Henry was too, though he had always been known for his more shy and reserved state so it wasn’t that surprising. He nodded and flashed a warm smile at Henry, his eyes finding the others, searching for the sparkle he always found there and sighing in comfort “I’m good baby, just feeling wonderful, I can feel the love in your eyes, I’ve always felt it in your eyes.” Henry couldn’t help but smile and shake his head, he missed the romantic side of Alex, it often stayed hidden, but this felt nice. It felt like the Alex who used to send him flirty texts ( He still did, but he also sent a lot of texts that, as he’d once put it, were not safe for anyone’s eyes but his.) Henry brought Alex’s hand up to his and pressed a light kiss on his ring ringer, which caused his heart to flutter, soon the would be a band here. Soon he’d be able to gaze at his hands even more as he spoke with them.
Once they were done with food and they were more relaxed, a bottle of wine half drunk between them, their hands together across, the table playing with each other's fingers, just talking, and enjoying the night out for their anniversary, Henry glanced at Alex, the loose curls cupping his face, the way he looked as if he were blushing every time he spotted Henry looking, he wondered how he’d gotten so lucky. He moved his hand away to take the small box from inside his pocket, playing with it in his lap, not realizing that Alex had done the same. It was now or never. Henry was the one who got there first though, he was up from his seat and at Alex’s side, ring box open, his voice shaking as he did so, it wasn’t as if he’d been rehearsing this in his head for weeks now.
“Alexander Claremont-Diaz, ever since we met, you have captivated me to no end, You’ve broken down bridges and my armor to be the one I can turn to when the is a storm inside my head, the one who can bring me back when I am on the edge. Your smile, your intelligence, and your willingness to love someone, someone who thought they would never find happiness, you guided me to find the light within myself and told me I was enough, told me that my love was everything you’ve needed. And I love you, you were the one who I was searching for. Will You Marry Me?”
He rested the ring box on the table, took the hand of Alex’s that was closest to him ( Thankfully not the one with the box in), And pressed a kiss to it, he hadn't looked up, he didn’t want Alex to see the happy tears that were falling down his cheeks, he didn’t want to admit that he was so happy in love that it made him cry to think about them being husbands, showing the world wrong.
Alex got down on the floor at Henry’s height moved his fingers to Henry’s cheek and wiped away the tears “Baby look at me please?” and smiled softly showing Henry the box he’d been holding too and placed it in his hand so he could see the ring, his hand was shaking at he got the box Henry had placed on the table and brought it down to them too, his own eyes sparking with tears. “To answer your question yes Henry, yes I’ll marry you, there's nothing I’d want more, but now I have a question for you too.” He kissed Henry softly, and sweetly before settling back and taking Henry’s hand in his, stroking a thumb over his ring finger as he spoke too, his accent was softer than usual, but the same light drawl he had was there, causing Henry’s smile to widen even more.
“Henry Fox, I promised that I would always look after and cherish your heart, you may no longer be the prince of England, but you will always be my prince, the king of my heart and my soul. When I felt empty and lost, you made me feel complete again, you understand me in ways I don’t understand myself, and despite how much I used to annoy you, you stayed around, I will always storm any castle for you, with you, for our love, for what we want in the future. From the moment I laid eyes on you, and that smile of yours, I knew I wanted to be yours forever, the only one who ever made sense in my heart, you are my soulmate, the one who came to me in my dreams. I love you too, so will you Marry Me?”
Was it cheesy yes, would they have it any other way? No, this was them and somehow it did fit the narrative for how they’d both been talking recently, in a mixture of laughter and tears through little kisses, and nose nuzzles, they somehow slid the ring onto the other's finger, hands shaking as they did so. It was now official, Henry somewhere along the way had said Yes to Alex’s question, in a blur of laughter and joy. Henry hummed softly and pressed a soft kiss to Alex’s lips then cupped his cheeks and gazed into those beautiful eyes of his. Wondering how he’d gotten so lucky. He then wrapped his arms around him from behind, taking a few moments to enjoy cuddling before they’d need to leave and head home. Henry had learned a little bit of Spanish wanting to impress Alex, a kiss on his cheek and then neck.
“Cariño, te amo, por siempre y para siempre”
And with that, Alex took Henry’s hand in his and kissed him softly before leading them out, back to their brownstone house, back to the place they called home, where they were now starting a new chapter in life, as soon-to-be husbands. A whisper through a stolen kiss as they entered their place, a smile etched onto their faces.
“Te amo también Henry Díaz Fox”

You know what I would love to see/read/write more of?
Rumple and Belle actually being a part of the big and messy and a little crazy but close-knit and loving and loyal family that is the Charming-Mills-Swan-Gold-(Jones) clan.
Rumple developing normal positive relationships with people.
Rumple being a reluctant — at least at first — (because he had been what is classified as villain for a very long while... and most fairytale characters have according attitude towards him) hero and protecting Storybrooke from threats that rain down on it as if from a horn of plenty along with the so-called 'hero squad'.
Rumple interacting with Henry and Prince Neal (mind you, he might have a hard time calling him by his name, especially soon after Neal's birth, when the memories of his own son's death are still too painfully fresh) and other kids of Storybrooke.
Rumple offering Emma his help in controling her magic (aka Rumple teaching Emma because as much as I like the idea of Regina teaching Emma magic, I believe Rumple would be a better teacher because of his experience + change of perspective that would make him a less mean and more helpful teacher).
Rumple helping Snow out with the baby, either through advice ( because he was a father and a rather good one at that, and though it was a very long time ago, those memories come back easily... plus, it would help him build his self-esteem a little, show him he can do good things and be helpful and appreaciated ) or some of the home remedies he learnt to make either from his spinner aunties or other women in the village when Bae was little or just holding Neal for a while and keeping him calm ( because I headcanon him to be a bit of a Baby Whisperer ) so Snow can have a little rest.
Adding to that, a rather surprised Rumple finding himself welcomed easily (maybe, even warmly) in Storybrooke's Mommy Group because Snow shared some of his advices with other mothers and they turned out surprisingly helpful.
Rumple's friendship with David. That’s just... I love their relationship, especially as it was portrayed in S2, very much)
Rumple/Weaver and Alice/Tilly's relationship. It's just so... special. The way Alice was determined to not let him forget who he is at heart and not let him be alone, at least, when it began to seem like he did forget. The way Rumple basically adopted her from first sight. The less openly affectionate but still quite caring relationship between Weaver and Tilly — the "I care about you and you know I care about you but we're gonna pretend very badly that it's not the case because I've got a tough cop/girl reputation to uphold" of it all. Just... Theirs is the relationship(s) I didn't know I needed but once I got it, I can’t imagine not loving (and watching and writing and giffing) the hell out of it.
Speaking about S7, Rumple's reluctant friendship with Wish!Hook and their partnership (and co-parenting) as Detectives Weaver and Rogers is another case of "I didn’t know I needed it". Because I don’t like OG!Hook and would never even think about him having any kind of positive relationship with Rumple, but Wish!Hook? He's another matter entirely. He's not perfect, of course, but I like him a ton better than his counterpart and love the growth of his relationship with Rumple. What OG!Hook never could do, Wish!Hook did (and I love him for it).
.
Just... instead of being forced into the role of a secondary villain every goddamn season since S4, Rumple being allowed to continue his redemption arc and grow the same way the writers let Regina and Zelena grow.

i just saw your tags please tell me more about red white and royal blue
OKAY SO
Red White & Royal Blue is a queer romance novel by Casey McQuiston. It is the story of Alex, the 21 year old son of the President of the United States, and his enemies to lovers bromance turned romance with Prince Henry, the grandson of the current Queen of England.
And that bit of it is honestly mostly fine to me! I like that Alex is kind of a dumb boy baby bi who didn't realize the gay shit he got up to with his best friend was, indeed, gay shit. I like the part when Henry's older sister Bea tells Alex about how their father died when Henry was relatively young and how that grief just shoots down to the bottom of your soul, deeper than you thought yourself capable of feeling, and now when terrible things happen you automatically plummet to that same emotional low. I like the stuff going on with Rafael and how he was willing to tank his reputation in order to take down his potential abuser.
But hooooooooly shit the alternate reality this book exists in is so distracting.
First thing I should cover is that Alex's presidential parent is his mother Ellen Claremont, the first woman president elected in 2016.
Yes.
Claremont's reelection campaign in 2020 is a prominent part of the book, and Alex's secret romance with Henry is exposed by her Republican opponent via Alex and Henry's private emails.
*clicks tongue* Yeah.
Also, a lot of this does end up going down in 2019 and 2020, with not even a hint of pandemic, which, fair, I'll accept that. But it does feel really weird in the face of this other stuff.
And across the pond, Henry has to deal with his family finding out he's gay, specifically him coming out to his older brother Phillip and their grandmother Queen Mary. All of this feels so very weird to type out. The Queen and Phillip do not take it well at all, and at one point Henry does indeed threaten to abdicate, at least privately to Alex.
Soooooooo.
And this one's admittedly nitpicky, but Harry Potter references? Really? We do not need those, do we? Especially when you're indicating that you have people you care about that are indeed trans? (I've pulled up the Wikipedia article and have been informed that these references are removed from a later edition. On top of that, the author is nonbinary, so I imagine this might have been done not just because of readers commenting on it but them regretting writing in those references in the first place.)
And you know what, I don't know how much I've listed there is the problematic shit. Frankly, I sometimes have blinders on for this. I did not get involved in any of that "It's Totally Normal To Practice Kissing With Your Friends" shit, so idk how much of that is made up by media and how much of that really happens under the veil of wanting to actually kiss those of the same perceived gender. And since a lot of the stuff I read in this genre tends to be fanfiction (because I personally prefer having my blorbos at the ready to play Barbies with), I have no idea if the sex scenes are typical for this type of book compared to the wild-ass shit I read on the regular.
There's also the issue of Alex's race, which I am in no way qualified to talk about in depth but does merit mention: Alex is the child of an interracial marriage. His mother is white and his father is Latino. He is referred to as Alex, Alexander, Alejandro, Claremont (his mother's surname), and Diaz (his father's surname). The narration makes it clear that he is not perceived as white passing, that he is obviously Latino. And I have no idea what that might stir up. I didn't notice anything that made any alarm bells ring for me, but I am very white.
Overall, I was glad I listened to it. It hit the nice little niche it was aiming for, and I think there should be more stuff like it. But maybe put it in a universe not quite so close to ours like that.

OUAT Thoughts Pt.3--Episodes 9-10
I have watched through S1E10; spoilers DNI. Also, spoilers warning for those further behind than I am.
—The Hansel and Gretel episode is mostly mid-tier. It gave us some solid emotional moments for Emma, which is great, because she actually doesn’t have a whole lot of depth, for someone who’s supposed to be a savior.
—Speaking of Emma being disappointing, she’s kind of inconsistent. When it’s convenient for the narrative, she flip-flops between seeming to believe Henry’s theory and just sort of going along with it. That’s weird.
—It hurt that Snow White didn’t start to get back her old memories when she found Emma’s baby blanket.
—The Evil Queen’s clothes are so strange. In some scenes she’s got these hideous, overcomplicated things that simply have too much going on, and in some scenes she’s got beautiful, simpler designs that are much more elegant. Her hair also alternates between being done in an appropriately regal style and being done in a strangely fluffy or pop-singer-y way.
—I love that Red Riding Hood and Snow White were friends in the fairytale world. Fun callback to the concept of Snow White and Rose Red (which is probably intentional).
—The pigeon peril was too much for me. They’re just my favorite birds, and the idea of a pigeon being lonely for the rest of her life is depressing.
—But she found her flock and she’s all good! YAY!
—Mmmm, Rumplestiltskin crumbs…*Homer Simpson drool*…
—I adore that little laugh of Rump’s. It’s so obnoxious. *affectionately* *with heart eyes* *would probably die for him*
—Honestly, though, it’s all those little bits; the laugh, the “dearie”, the hand flourishes, the unsettling eyes, that make his character the lively man he is. There’s something to be said for small details like those.
—I also adore the difference in his voice between when he’s Rump and when he’s Mr. Gold. Rump’s voice is just a bit higher, and less even. His voice is like a tricky little light that flutters around your head and lures into a death trap—like an anglerfish. Mr. Gold’s voice is a more regular register, and very stable, and his sentences are often more complete and proper. His voice is like a moth that hovers evenly just over your shoulder, not obviously dangerous, but oh-so-subtly ominous.
—I’m going to say Rump more times than you’d find it attached to the word “roast” in a butcher’s shop. He’s the best part of the show (imho).
—I’ve been having a very good time.
—Until Snow White drank the stupid potion and forgot Prince Charming. That sucks hardcore.
—I appreciate the way the dwarves have been characterized, especially Grumpy. He’s grumpy (duh) but he’s also good-hearted and kind. Also, adding and promptly killing an eighth dwarf was an odd little stroke of awesome.
—What nefarious thing is Rump planning to do with Snow White’s hair?
—Oh, yeah, and what the heck is up with that s u s writer who just showed up in Storybrooke? He has to be connected, or he probably couldn’t have gotten in at all (my mom has theorized that he’s either a Brother Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson). I don’t even know his name yet.

4 10 23 45 50 for both Thraxette and Hollina
4. What do physical trait do they love the most about each other?
Thraxette: Thrax LOVES Odette's hair. It's soft and golden, it's like a cloud. But it's also fun to pull 😉 Odette loves Thrax's eyes. They shift color depending on the light and sometimes even his mood. They're the most honest part about him. His mouth can lie, but his eyes can't.
Hollina: Holli loves Lina's tiny body. It's an insecurity for Lina, since she's sometimes misunderstood for being a kid, also due to her baby face, but Holli loves how cute she is. She's easy to pick up and hold in her arms, it makes her feel protective of her. Lina loved Holli's strength. She's got those invisible muscles from all that pole dancing so you can't really tell unless you get really close to her. Lina will never forget that time Holli picked up a dude who was harassing Lina. She practically chucked him away like a ragdoll, it was the sexiest thing she's ever seen.
10. Have they had romantic partners before?
Thraxette: Thrax has never had a romantic partner before and in some AUs, he's never had a sexual one before either. Odette varies from AU to AU whether she's been in a relationship with, engaged or even married to either Derek or Henry (Prince Charming from Cinderella) Sometimes it's been consensual and out of love, other times it's been an arranged engagement, either coerced or out of duty.
Hollina: I'm a few AUs, Holli experimented a little bit with Jessica when they were young. Like 14 year old young. But since Jessica is asexual and Holli is practically the opposite, they dynamic didn't work. Jessica would also later realize she's definitely straight even though she does find women attractive. Lina varies between zero experience of having dated Jim, sometimes pretend dated and other times actually dated. In some AUs she's also dated Gaston.
23. Is there top/dom and bottom/sub energy?
Thraxette: It's like 90% dom Thrax and sub Odette. But only sexually. Despite Thrax's controlling and possessive nature, in the long run Odette is usually way more in control than he is. He is so utterly devoted to her, she could tell him to cut off his own fingers and he'd do it. Last 10% is either when Odette or Thrax is drunk or Odette is especially angry. She can be quite the "aggressor" if Thrax had genuinely angered her.
Answered this one about Hollina here: https://airasora.tumblr.com/post/666478388008140800/3-13-23-33-and-43-for-your-otp-asks-hollina
45. If one of them forgot to log out of their SoMe, what would their partner do?
Thraxette: Thrax would probably log out and give Odette a lecture about it later. He'd be worried someone could see her information and use it to harm her. Wouldn't occur to him to snoop himself. Most of the time 😉 Odette would let her curiosity win and she'd see if there is anything new she can learn about him. But that's it.
Hollina: High school Holli would IMMEDIATELY make posts pretending to be Lina gushing over Holli herself. College Holli might snoop in Lina's messages though, mostly to check if Lina says anywhere that she's not really attracted to Holli and it's all just a game or something. College Holli is very insecure and lacks complete trust in Lina for a very long time. Both college and high school Lina would look at Holli's private messages. Usually with good intentions and just mere curiosity.
50. Who would protect who in a dangerous situation?
Thraxette: I mean, both would jump to the other's rescue, but Odette is not a fighter the same way Thrax is. She has some archery skills and is somewhat athletic. But her way of protecting Thrax would mostly be through strategy, intelligence or using her power as a princess/queen, depending on the AU. Thrax IS a fighter though and his morals are almost nonexistent. Depending on the AU, he'd go as far as to break someone's arm, simply for bumping I to Odette by accident.
Hollina: Lina and Holli have very similar ways to protect each other. Lina doesn't have a menacing nature and Holli does, so Holli would be willing to go much further to protect Lina than Lina would. Lina also isn't a fighter, she's a pacifist. So Holli would be more likely to hold Lina back from entering a fight. Lina does have the temper of a ginger, so she would scream at someone trying to hurt Holli, while Holli would simply get rid of whoever is bothering Lina.

Another anon but please, share the nicknames🥹 I want cute things after all the chaos it’s been created because of people projecting things
Here are a few cute/fun ones that I know of!
Note 1: I'm bilingual and I'll try my best to translate it but certain things get lost in translation, I'll add the original Chinese text if you want to look up Google Translate or something, and the reason for said nickname
Note 2: A thing in Chinese nicknames is adding the character 小 meaning small/little to the beginning or repeating the same character as a sign of affection, I don't know why that's a thing but it just... kind is and has been for forever
Note 3: They use the nicknames interchangeably between the boys and Firstprince, and this has something to do with how Chinese audiences view shipping, especially in queer media which is a topic I do not want to get into right now, it would be a fucking mess.
Alright now that that's out of the way!
Nick/Henry:
王子 Prince, self-explanatory
小藍 Little Blue, self-explanatory
小王子 Little Prince, self-explanatory
貓貓/小貓 Kitty, in East Asian Culture people assign the two people in a ship as a cat or a dog, they think he's a golden British shorthair
小肥鵝 ... Chubby Little Goose. Yes, it's weird af but it got popular after a reaction video repeatedly referred to Henry as that. Two reasons: 1, Henry/Nick with kiss-swollen lips, specifically in the Paris scene reminded them of a ... goose... for some reason...? 2, um, uh, so there is a common dish in Chinese cuisine called 燒鵝 Roasted goose, and the first character 燒 (shāo)is nearly homophonic with the character for .... horny/flirtatious 騷 (sāo)... so given that scene...yeah go figure. I've seen literal fan art and fan merch of Henry as a goose. It's weird but hilarious to me.
甜心 sweetheart, fairly self-explanatory although the actual meaning it carries is close to "babygirl"
寶寶 baby, as in literal child, in fact my mom calls me that
老婆 wife, um, China, or actually as far as I know East Asians tend to feminize the bottom of a queer relationship and they're oddly persistent on positions which... all I can say is it's a cultural difference thing that doesn't have any disrespectful or harmful intentions but yeah
公主 Princess, same as above
媽媽/媽咪 Mommy ... yeah I'm gonna leave that there
Taylor/Alex:
第一公子 First son (第一 means first, 公子(gōngzǐ) is the phrase referring to a gentleman in ancient Chinese, more specifically sons of noblemen, if you watch costume c dramas you probably hear it a lot) most of the time they just use 公子 though
小紅 Little Red, Self-explanatory
太陽花 Sunflower, a simile for his fucking eyelashes
狗狗/小狗 Puppy, same explanation as Kitty, in particular, they think he's a Berner Sennenhund
美狗魚 merpuppy, like a mermaid, but a puppy, mostly due to how fucking beautiful and handsome he looks in the lake scene
老公 husband, same explanation as wife, just the opposite/ complimentary
爸爸/爸比 Daddy, yeah not gonna elaborate on that one either
Chinese fandoms, or honestly, East Asian fandoms tend to be a toxic mess (think about how notoriously toxic the reputation of k pop stans are) which is why I prefer sticking to the Western side the vast majority of the times I'm in fandoms such as RWRB, but there are some beautiful things in the midst of the mess that I occasionally check out.
Anyways yeah! That's a list of nicknames this side of the world gave the boys! I honestly don't know if it's still fun after translation but I hope this was a bit of fun????
