#he swims in a sea of regret (Samuel)

Of course before Mattie gave Leader anything, she tackled him with a big hug. When she pulled away, she held out a light blue gift box covered in axolotls wearing reindeer antlers. “Merry Christmas, Sam! I hope you like it!” Inside the box was a new lab coat she had made for him pattern with sharks and deep sea fish, a documentary on prehistoric sea creatures, and a plushie of Sushi.

Samuel grumbled when he was hug, something that he mostly did for show. After all, if he showed that he liked affection then Mattie wouldn't ever be terrified of him!
All grumbliness immediately fades away though when he sees the gift held out to him. It becomes replaced by a loud rumbling purr at the sight of the gift. Everything about it was bright and colourful, drawing his attention to every little aspect. It was chaotic, but frankly that just fit how Sam liked it about his science.
His ears flicked away as he laughed over the gifts, clutching Sushi to his chest and finally hugging Mattie back. "Alright, alright! Thank you for this! I'll make sure to wear it, watch it and hug her eveyrday."

Pride and Prejudice - ‘Episode 4′ Review
Tumblr media
“Perhaps the beauty of the house renders its owner a little less repulsive, Lizzy.” “Yes, perhaps. Perhaps a very little.”
In which Darcy writes a letter, Lydia leaves for Brighton, Elizabeth takes a trip, and Darcy goes for a swim. Contains spoilers.
Episode 4 is my absolute favorite episode of the series and it’s not because of the infamous lake scene. Well, it’s not just because of the lake scene.
We begin with Darcy’s letter. This miniseries is the only version of Pride and Prejudice that I’m aware of to show the contents of the letter being acted out and not just read in voice over. I think it adds a lot. We get to see Wickham and Georgiana together which enforces the creepiness of his pursuit of her. He’s at least ten years older than her and it’s just gross that he would attempt to seduce a child for her money. We also see shots of Wickham and Darcy at Cambridge. I really like this little inclusion. Wickham’s actions towards the Darcys might have been explained by need or greed, but the scene at Cambridge helps make it clear that Wickham is just not a good guy and there’s really no excuse for him.
We also flashback to Jane and Bingley. Charlotte’s words of warning to Lizzy regarding Jane’s reserve prove themselves true. Darcy believed Jane was not in love because she did not seem to be in love. I’ve always found this a weak justification. Darcy disdains the other members of Lizzy’s family because they are too open and too loud with their opinions. Now it turns out he ruined Jane’s happiness because she was too closed off and too quiet about her opinions. Pick a side, Darcy. In addition, Darcy explains away his coldness by saying that he is (for lack of a better word) shy around strangers. Isn’t Jane just exhibiting similar shyness with Bingley?
Although Lizzy has clearly been crushing on Darcy for awhile (whether she admits it to herself or not), this episode is the one where she really starts to fall for him. It’s ironic, considering we begin the episode with her disliking Darcy as much as possible. The entire episode is about Lizzy softening to the idea of Darcy. His letter gets the ball rolling. He does little to acquit himself of wrongdoing in Jane’s case, but at least manages to explain away Wickham’s intense hatred. I like to think he partly wrote the letter to Elizabeth to warn her away from Wickham. It’s more than just pride that inspires him to set her straight, that’s for sure.
Furthering Darcy’s cause for him is his house mansion estate palace whatever you’d call that place and his effusive housekeeper. Yes, Pemberley does make Lizzy like Darcy a bit more, but I refuse to believe it’s in a mercenary way. It’s the little things that do it. For instance, Darcy still displays a miniature of Wickham, a man he absolutely detests, in what was his father’s favorite room out of respect. The furnishings of Pemberley also speak well for Darcy. While everything is beautiful and (one imagines) expensive, his taste seems to lack the gaudiness of his aunt’s. Perhaps he is not so obsessed with rank and fortune as Elizabeth thought.
Then there’s the housekeeper, Mrs. Reynolds. She unknowingly does her master a great service by talking him up incessantly to a complete stranger. Elizabeth gets insight into Darcy’s character that has heretofore been unavailable to her. He dotes on his little sister, he’s been good-tempered since childhood, and he’s an excellent landlord and a generous master. Glowing praise, indeed.
Following this barrage on Lizzy’s dislike of Darcy comes the man himself. My favorite scene in the series (aside from the aforementioned lake scene) is when a sopping wet Darcy is surprised by the woman who very recently rejected his proposal of marriage and his awkward politeness to her. He is so shocked, he does not have the time to assemble his familiar shield of haughtiness and pride. It is the most genuine Darcy that Elizabeth (or the audience) has yet to see. He remembers his manners, asking her where she was staying and how her family is (twice) but is thoroughly unable to remember that her “condition in life is so decidedly below [his] own.” As a result, Elizabeth’s opinion of Darcy, already softened, is raised considerably.
Lizzy is clearly thrown by Darcy’s good manners at Pemberley and tries to goad him into being his ‘usual’ proud and disdainful self by introducing her aunt and uncle to him as her relatives from Cheapside. She is disappointed however, as Darcy behaves perfectly. Not a flicker of surprise or arrogance crosses his face upon learning the Gardiners’ situation and he expresses interest in Mr. Gardiner and invites him to fish in his trout stream. He is still not as affable or open as, for instance, Mr. Bingley (who could be?) but Darcy at home is a completely different animal than Darcy abroad.
The episode ends with the tenderest moment we’ve had between our romantic leads, in which he asks her to meet his sister. This is quite the compliment. Girls of Georgiana’s rank and age were often kept sheltered from all but the closest family acquaintances. Georgiana’s case is likely more exaggerated because of her recent attempted elopement.
In addition to Elizabeth and Darcy, this episode begins to feature Lydia more than previous episodes, with good reason. She is soon to become a rather important character. Whiny, petty, spoiled, and silly, it is a wonder someone as respectable sounding as Mrs. Forster would want her to accompany her to Brighton. Then of course, we see Mrs. Forster (who looks about 15). She seems just as silly as her friend. This is the woman the Bennets entrust the welfare of their daughter to.
Mr. Bennet’s character is clearly communicated in his allowing Lydia to go to Brighton. His conversation with Lizzy is very telling. He knows that Lydia will make a fool of herself and of the family, but cannot be bothered to prevent it. He wants peace in his home, whatever the price and he consoles his favorite daughter by telling her that her and Jane’s good manners in general counteract the silliness of her sisters. While Mr. Bennet’s quick wit and sarcastic quips make him a favorite character, it cannot be denied that he is a neglectful parent. He is lazy and selfish and would much rather sit in his library than go to any trouble for the benefit of his family.
Historical Context:
Darcy hand delivers his letter to Elizabeth because correspondence between two unmarried persons was considered highly improper. In Sense and Sensibility, several people assume that two characters are engaged simply because they openly write to each other.
Georgiana Darcy’s dowry of £30,000 was a huge sum of money and one of the largest dowries in Austen.
Lady Catherine seems surprised that Mr. Gardiner “keeps a manservant.” Male servants were not only paid more, the government had levied a tax on the employment of a male servant. Therefore being able to afford a male servant was a sign of affluence.
As the Bennet ladies discuss the possibility of going to Brighton, they seem very desirous to go ‘sea-bathing.’ Swimming in the ocean was a recent fashion and believed to be extremely beneficial to one’s health.
Bits & Pieces:
Of all of Austen’s novels, Pride and Prejudice is the one that features the most travel. Lizzy goes to Kent, Jane goes to London, Lydia goes to Brighton, Lizzy goes to Derbyshire, Lydia goes to London. This is because Austen had originally intended the novel to be in an epistolary format. I’m very, very glad she went a different direction. I find epistolary novels (particularly from this time period) incredibly tiresome. And, yes, that was directed at you, Samuel Richardson.
The actress who plays Mrs. Gardiner is the real life mother of the actress who plays Georgiana Darcy.
Favorite Moments:
Maria repacking her trunks according to Lady Catherine’s instructions.
Mr. Collins’s feeble attempts to make Lizzy regret not marrying him.
Lydia meeting Lizzy and Maria on their way home. She “treats” them all to a nice meal via their own money as she’s spent all her own on a hat she didn’t really like. How very Lydia.
The fencing scene, particularly the line “I shall conquer this! I shall!”
Lizzy’s first glimpse of Pemberley.
The lake scene, obviously.
Awkward, wet Darcy (Colin Firth has never been more adorable).
Pretty much everything that happens in Derbyshire, now that I think about it.

Ella, Tangalle and Mirissa
We caught a train from Kandy to Ella, with no snacks, thinking it would only be a couple of hours.. 7 hours later we arrived pretty hangry. Totally worth it though because it is actually the most beautiful train journey in the world. We sat on the floor by the open door and dangled our legs out the whole way.
We walked 5 mins to our hostel which was the worst place we had ever seen. Literally a shack on stilts, on the busiest main road in the town and full of lots of little pets in the bathroom. It was called 'SpiceHut' which is never a good start. Frankie had a cockroach crawl up her leg when she was brushing her teeth, never screamed so loud. We found food at a restaurant next door and had 8 Sri Lankan curries and rice each for £2 each, one of which was a jack fruit curry OMG so bloody marvellous.
The next morning we packed up and ran as fast as we could out the door in search of a new home. After maps taking us the wrong way and walking up a mountain in 30 degree heat with all our stuff, we arrived at a guesthouse in the middle of nowhere, bunned off their wifi and found somewhere else. Third time lucky we found a lovely little guesthouse WITH A BALCONY.
After some lunch we decided to walk to Ravana Falls, we were told it was a 45 minute walk so we set off full of promise and excitement. Took us 3 hours actually. It was such a fun journey we got caught in a huge storm and had to walk bare foot down massive windy roads, people kept stopping to give us a lift but we were like NAAAH WE’RE ENGLISH WE LOVE ABIT OF RAIN (ironic as we both came down with deadly colds the next day). After about 3km we found a beautiful hotel and walked in looking like two wet, feral children, everyone inside was dressed amazingly for their buffet lunch. The kind man let us in for a coffee even at the risk of upsetting customers and ruining their rep. We met a lot of dogs on the way down and even a few monkeys, our Frankie has a bit of a monkey complex but she was v brave (and dogs and cows).
At the end of the 7km walk the waterfall was beautiful and we felt well ard for walking when we saw everyone getting off their tourist coaches, we tried to swim but a policeman came and fished us out because it was too dangerous apparently (eejit).
We woke up the next day feeling rank but we soldiered on. Thinking it was just down the road we went to visit the 9 arch bridge, but actually it was another 5km climb. WE LOVE CLIMBING! In the evening we went for dinner at a little shack called ‘Matey Hut’ recommended to us and it was bloody bootiful. There’s only 4 tables and it’s a tiny place but the food!! The world needs to embrace pumpkin curry it is incredible.
The next day we had to move hostels AGAIN, but moved about 3 mins down the road to another super cute guesthouse. We both felt rank from walking in the rain so we laid in bed all day and watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s and ate crisps. The guy who owned it made us an absolutely cracking breakfast the next morning. His wife was away for Sri Lankan New Year, poor sod, so he was holding the fort and kept bringing us more food to try and please us as much as possible. Bex wrapped some of it up to take ‘for lunch’ but actually saved it and fed it to the wee dogs up the mountain. We climbed little Adam’s Peak which was beautiful and not that difficult now we’re professional climbers. The views over Ella were amazing and there were puppies at the top which were so adorable. I love that all mountains seem to have pups at the top it’s such a reward (Bex obviously, Franks don’t like dogs much) (alien).
We went for a coffee on the way down at a cute cafe over looking the valley , we stayed there for aaaaages it was such a little sun trap. Then headed back to the hostel before going for dinner which was absolutely rubbish. The waiter brought out wobbly popadoms so I asked him to bring some legit ones and he was like ‘nooo they’re meant to be moist’ I mean I haven’t dedicated my life to researching the texture of popadoms but I know a stale one when I see it. Me and Franks weren’t appy!
ELLA - TANGALLE.
Got the old 31 bus to Tangalle, now I look back on it I can laugh but at the time I thought I was going to blow chunks all over the Sri Lankan locals, finally I got a seat but I saw a little girl standing up so I let her sit on my lap and my god what a regret, the wee nugget fell asleep and not only was she 100degrees but she was dead weight, frankie was sat at the back like the queen while I was baby sitting a heavy ball of fire, cute though!!! We arrived at our hostel where the staff were all getting blotto for late New Year celebrations, we had the most beeeautiful sea view room. We met a dog called Freddy who slept on our balcony but Bex woke up covered in flea bites from all the cuddling - rank.
The next day we played in the sea but it was mucho aggresso, we both lost our sunnies when we were piggybacking and got taken out by a wave BUT the most remarkable thing happened when 3 hours later we were sunbathing and Bex’s glasses washed up on to the shore sitting perfectly on the beach. Frankie’s are still in the sea, we like to believe they’re being worn by a wonderful dolphin who’s feeling super sassy.
The hostel owner had the cutest son who was like 7. We played bat and ball with him which was cute (***BEX played with him, bloody Frankie went and hid, I sacrificed myself for you) but when he kept turning up at 7am at our bedroom window, and we woke up to him staring at us with a bat in his hand it all got a bit creepy. After our bad experience with sea the day before we found a calmer bit of ocean and we didn’t get out for 4 hours and splashed around being beached whales when other girls tried to look all sexy. We did competitions and we sung songs really loud and just looked generally really cool.
After a week of bumming around on the beach we hopped on a bus to another beach.
MIRISSA
When we arrived in Mirissa we immediately dumped our stuff and went back to our beloved sea. Bex instantly got blown miles to the shore by a wave leaving Franks just a little dot in the ocean, the waves were NOT OKAY.
The next day we looked for a swimming pool, we asked a TukTuk driver to take us a few beaches down the road but he went half hour to Weligama beach instead, found the cutest pool which they let us use for free at ‘Good Story’ spent the rest of the day splashing about like morons, I feel like people are always confused when we’re in water like 'how long can they stay in there? Did they get out when we weren’t watching? Why aren’t they shrivelled up like raisins? Why is that girl tormenting her poor friend?’ That evening we played cards with our lovely pal Samuel who was a bit of a buzz.
A couple of days later I had savage chest pains, I think it was from being taken out by the waves but I was convinced I was having a heart attack, I plopped down outside a shop and couldn’t get back up so me and Franks hopped in a tuk tuk to the docs. The waiting room was a free for all and all eyes were on me being the weird white girl holding a freezer block on her chest, me and Franks gave the best A* drama performance of all time and they all said I could be seen first (if they’re all going to stare we may aswell make it worth while AMARIGHT). Doc was nice until he recommended going to the hospital for an ECG and in that second I had a miraculous recovery, thanked him for his time and ran away at speed. After a lot of debate we went to the hospital where it was like there had been a zombie apocalypse, the tellies were on but there was no one home.
We walked through and found the whole hospital having a late New Year party (there was even a DJ) in the garden, all the nurses and doctors were having races and apple bobbing and I was having a suspected heart attack. One matey finally came over to help me, I wasn’t convinced he was a doctor he looked like he was doing it for a laugh but he sent me for an ecg and asked me adult questions so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Got in a right strop because the nurses tried to make me get my wee nips out in front of the ward of staring Sri Lankan’s and they kept telling me to calm down cos I was shouting like a hooligan about the lack of curtain drawing. Luckily my gal Frankie was on full nipple patrol. ANYWAY was just a pulled muscle but was a really fun morning in the end!
Naturally after this we went for cocktails to celebrate and then went to find Turtle Beach
It was so jeffin beautiful, a super quiet corner of the beach where we hired a snorkel and dived straight in. Within 5 mins we were swimming with metre long green turtles and it was incredible. Bex probably shouldn’t have been doing it with severe chest pains but it was the last day so had just get over it. At least we knew she wasn’t dying..
The next part of the journey was probably the worst experience we’ve had in the time we’ve been away and to be honest we don’t wanna relive it but here we go. We had made a decision to move closer to the airport a day before our flight so we didn’t have such a long journey, what a bloody stupid idea that was. The train was fine to Colombo, the bus to Negombo was full so we had to get a tuk-tuk (cost a bloody fortune), there was a petrol strike so the tuk-tuk driver couldn’t get petrol and was freaking out, we got super stressed, the cash point kept rejecting my card so I couldn’t pay for the tuk-tuk, the tuk-tuk broke down, we had to change to another one, it was pissing down with rain, the hostel we wanted to go to wasn’t in Negombo (was another 10km’s so an extra £10 to get there) so we ended up at a random guesthouse down a dark road by the airport miles away from anywhere chosen by a sign on a main road that had pretty writing on it. It had A/C and the owner made us tea. After a bit of dinner at the only restaurant in a 3 mile radius, it was bed and then on to JAPAAAAANNNN

In terms for partners, Samuel has a strong masculine preference due to the fact that men tend to fit his wants in a sexual and romantic partner in being bigger than him, being able to manhandle him and for how muscular they are, which is easier to find then in women.

“Hey. Hey, Sam. How does it feel to be so short?” Mattie grinned, standing on her tippy toes to emphasize their height difference. (Though admittedly said difference was extremely minor.) Look, he was always going on about how smart he was and making snarky comments about her. She needed this.
@awkward-snake-girl
Oh, okay. So Mattie had decided, in the time of pride month no less, that she hated every single trans and bisexual person to live.
No, no...that was wrong...
It'd be more fair to say that Mattie had the concept of gender and demanded that every person with a vagina should live like they were a hand maiden, starting with Samuel as her very first victim. Because it was obvious that Mattie now had an agenda towards him, one filled with spite and hatred that only such a foul person such as Mattie could muster.
Silently, Samuel raised a finger to his sister in a silent give me a moment gesture as he leaned down to dig around his bedroom. He soon found the needed box with a pleased muurp and seconds later, Samuel now stood with two inches over his sister...wearing snake skin boots.
Granted, they weren't real snake skin. It was just leather textured to resemble scales, not to mention that Samuel had stuck a pair of googly eyes and a felt tongue to the front of the boots. But it was the energy here that counted.
So with a dramatic point and looking down at this naughty snekling and whispered, "You're next."

She had only been teasing her dear brother. Just a bit of harmless fun. After all, he teased her enough about lots of things. Her intelligence, (though to be fair he did that to everyone.) her feelings for Skaar, her general…vibe… It was what siblings did, even if they weren’t actually related. They brutally roasted each other.
But…this…this was just plain biphobic. And in Pride month of all times! Weird since he was bi too…
Mattie narrowed her eyes, peering down at the googly eyed boots with destain. She knew they were faux snakeskin. He knew her well enough to know how strongly she felt about real non reptile shedded reptile skin being used for fashion. But the sentiment was made clear. And he’d been going through her craft supplies without asking again... Wordlessly, she went over to Icarus’s cage, unlocked it, and scooped up the large rat. She held her up to her ear, nodding as if she was speaking to her before looking back at Leader. “Icarus says that she wants to be my rat now since you’re so mean. Also she likes me better because she can see more stuff on my shoulder. Because I’m taller. So…”
Mattie didn’t stay long enough to hear his reply as she ran down the hall, giant irradiated rodent in her arms.
@awkward-snake-girl
In her cage, Icarus squeaked gently when she was removed, blinking and glancing between Daddy and her aunt. What was happening?
Samuel on the other hand? He gasped at this display of offence, the fact that Mattie would do such a thing just showed that she was all venom and no sweetness. Icarus was but a poor defenceless rat, what did she do to deserve Mattie kidnapping her and roleplaying the crooks from Home Alone?
"Get your grubby little hands off of her!" He dramatically pointed a finely manicured claw - pink, with white and blue swirled across it - at this criminal, "I bet you haven't even washed your hands before holding her, I bet you don't even know the concept of washing your hands!"
Quickly, he rushed after Mattie, hissing and gripping the edge of his bedroom door while his hand flew into the air dramatically with all the rage and anguish of a parent who was watching their only child be stolen into the night...or, well, nicely lit hallways.
"You better not eat her, you downgraded armless gecko! And just for this, I'm going to bribe Skaar to break up with you! How's that for pride month!?"

Hello. What do the smashers hate about each other?
mmm as a general, I feel like the dopplesmashers ep gives us a good idea of their bad traits.
Skaar's impatient and often charges in without listening to anyone and rarely explains his reasoning due to his independence.
Rick often uses humour to cope and stays positive over a situation no matter what happens, which can be grating for those who want to be sad over something.
Jen's competitive and sometimes this makes her loose track of the mission or her confidence shifts into cockiness where she ends up underestimating her opponent.
Red's bullheaded and rarely lets go of a point or a chance to loose, which can make a situation dangerous when he refuses to listen.
Hulk's stubborn and will often do anything to ensure he can save everyone in the danger, including the bad guy. He doesn't know that sometimes, some people simply can't or don't want to be saved.
Samuel is spiteful and often likes shoving it into people's faces that he's won or he's better than them. He wants to solve everything himself and will refuse hlep no matter what.

I think I've only said this to Misty before but I'm putting it here too;
Samuel only wears clip on earrings due to the fact that the cartilage in his ears are more sensitive than regular human ears. Anything that's sharp tends to hurt him real quickly.

Been thinking and Samuel 10000% edits his own Animal Crossing game to add a lot of new features for it

Would Leader make any villagers based on people he knows? The Smashers, Mattie, Villians, etc?
@awkward-snake-girl
1000% yes absolutely. Even before I decided he made bigger edits to the game, I already thought Samuel would place the people he knows into it because THATS the funniest shit ever.
Currently he just has the Smashers and other muses he interacts with like Mattie, Andy, Rhys, the Banner Brothers, ect with the other gang in usually-abnormal. I probably do have some thoughts about what type of animals he makes everyone?? But for other muses I like getting some back on forth on what people think they would be rather than just blindly deciding for my friends in case they don't like the chocie I make,,but I DO have thoughts.
But anyway long story short?? He does have everyone, including the pets and Coral and other kids too!

How do the main muses feel about seafood? (plus emil lol)
@mistyflame1
Oddly specific headcanons!
SKAAR Likes it! With his memory gone, it tastes VERY different and he doesn't know WHY so Skaar just sees it as a very exciting experience at first, although he would still choose something like burgers or BBQ over seafood.
RICK He likes store brought stuff like fish fingers or crab sticks, but Rick wouldn't really enjoy any of the fancier stuff like sushi. However, after getting a mental connection with Sam, now Rick...really craves sushi, which isn't helped by his abomb side and makes Rick weep internally. Assigned sushi lover at birth.
JEN Likes it! Doesn't ACTIVELY go out for it but often Jen will keep it to a list of takeouts for every week and she wishes often that Vista Verde had a seafood place, but right now it mostly just has a pizza place, some Chinese and Indian places to get at so Jen can't really get any seafood in Vista Verde right now.
RED Quite enjoys seafood since he's travelled to a lot of places in the army and enjoyed exploring cuisine. I imagine Red particularly likes crustaceans, mostly this comes from the fact that he likes preparing them when cooking more than eating? My man is weird.
HULK Oh LOVES seafood. Nothing makes him purr harder apart from pizza or burritos. My man loves just having some sushi or fried crab sticks in particular since that's where Rebecca would take him often as a kid whenever they visited Cali to see Jen and her parents. He's always got a faint memory bleeding over from of when Mom took them to a restaurant before the owner remembered that she was banned for life.
SAMUEL I mean. COME ON. Sam LOVES his seafood it's like, SUCH a big part of him, especially since my Sam grew up on Hawaii so seafood would be a big point for shore/island countries. Any cooking Sam knows how to do is primarily for seafood and one of the only dishes he will always stop working to eat.
EMIL Surprisingly wasn't all that familiar with sea food until he came to the states?? I imagine this comes from growing up in more land based of Russia so it comes in when he's in America, mayhaps it's Sam sharing a dish when they're teaming up...and fuck, Emil inhales the food. He's never known food could taste like molten gold before. Ride or die for any seafood but GOD FUCK he loves salmon and calamari the most. David took him and Sam to a beach for beach sex a date once and Emil came out of the water chewing a giant squid.

U know what I'm shocked because idk if anyone....ASKED Samuel why his special interest is sea life or if I Cleared That Memory Away
But anyway, its because sea life is the one thing he will never fully know about and that's the best and most soothing thing to someone who actively wants and hates having to know everything
