Using Kindle Vella for NaNoWriMo Motivation
Tumblr media
Every year, we’re lucky to have great sponsors for our nonprofit events. Kindle Vella, a 2022 NaNoWriMo sponsor, is a publishing platform for serialized stories. Today, the folks at Kindle Vella are here to share some tips from author Kimberly Titus on how to get some extra noveling motivation:
Anyone can pen their next great novel if they put their mind to it, but having the support of a community to cheer you on makes all the difference, especially in those moments where you feel impostor syndrome creeping in. Like NaNoWriMo, Kindle Vella makes reading and writing a fun and interactive experience.
Kindle Vella is a serialized reading experience in the Kindle app where authors receive immediate feedback on their story as they publish one episode at a time! Readers can champion their favorite stories leaving a review or giving a ‘thumbs up’. Additionally, authors can interact with readers by leaving notes or teasers at the end of each episode, as well as create polls to get feedback on what should happen next in the story.
Whether you’ve got a couple of novels under your belt or you’re a first time author, Kindle Vella welcomes all NaNoWriMo authors. Kimberly Titus started writing her first of several Kindle Vella stories, Top Faved Murder, Marriage, and Macarons, during NaNoWriMo in 2020. She spent 25 years working in finance before transitioning to writing. Several novels later, she hasn’t looked back!
Kimberly was kind enough to share with us about her experience publishing her NaNoWriMo story with Kindle Vella:
“Kindle Vella has taught me a lot about writing... it has improved how I pace my writing, develop characters, and create tension within the plot. By setting a cadence of publishing an episode a week, I have increased my writing production overall.”
Kimberly noted how an ongoing conversation with readers helped her process.
“My favorite part of using Kindle Vella is the reader engagement. Readers have the opportunity to follow the stories they want to read, ‘fave’ the stories they like the most, and give a thumbs up to episodes that they enjoy. At the end of each episode, most authors leave a personal note to the readers. This gives the readers more of a connection to the author than traditional publishing. The Kindle Vella format has helped me build up my reader base and has increased my social media platform. I have also enjoyed meeting other Kindle Vella authors and learning alongside them."
She also offered some tips to fellow authors looking to draft or publish their work on Kindle Vella.
“It is important that episodes are moving the plot along with compelling characters, plot twists, and cliffhangers that bring readers back to read the next episode. The concept of publishing one episode at a time allows the author to publish as they edit. This also gives the author time to experiment with their writing. It is a great way to engage with your readers and tweak plot lines. There is a polling option that authors can add to the end of an episode to ask the readers questions. I have found that reader engagement increases the loyalty of the readers on this platform.”
We can’t wait for the conclusion of the latest story in Kimberly’s latest cozy mystery: Murder, Motherhood, and Magnolias. All of Kim’s stories are currently available to read on Kindle Vella.
Writing together is better than writing alone! Why not publish your NaNoWriMo novel on Kindle Vella as you write to help keep you accountable and motivated with the help of enthusiastic readers? Kindle Vella is a great place to test your stories in front of an audience.
Any story completed during NaNoWriMo this year is eligible to be featured on Kindle Vella. Be sure to include the tag #KVNANOWRIMO22 when you publish with us! You can begin your publishing journey here.
We hope to read your new work soon. Happy writing, and good luck!
Kindle is introducing a new storytelling option: Kindle Vella. With Kindle Vella, U.S. based authors can publish serialized stories, one short episode at a time. Start your story today!

Chapter Two Glossary
for Wining and Pining (a Caejose/Gyjo fic)
Keep this open while you’re reading for translations to the Italian (and French) words and phrases used in the story!
Here's a link to chapter one glossary. btw I'm not going to repeat translations for things from chapter one.
Italian Glossary:
Rilsassati: Relax
lo farò, te lo prometto: I will, I promise
GM: short for grazie mille (thanks a million)
Sfogliatelle: sometimes just called sfoglia. It's a shell-shaped cream-filled pastry originating from the Campania region of Italy
Famiglia: family
Comare: godparent
Figlio mio: my son
Arlecchino: a famous harlequin/clown character from the Commedia dell' Arte Italian theater (he often crossdresses and was always my personal fave)
Giuseppino: a cheeky way of saying young Giuseppe, which is the Italian version of the name Joseph
Il matrimonio: marriage
Confetti: Italian confetti are different from the colourful paper kind. Literally translating to 'candied,' they are sugar coated almonds given out at weddings. The almond symbolizes the bitter-sweetness of marriage and the beginning of a new life.
Molto facile: very easy
Cognato: brother in law
Festa: party
Buon Natale a tutti!: Merry Christmas everyone!
Presepio: Italian nativity scene. More about the important history of it here
Zi'Anto! Dov è Gèsu?: Slang for "Aunt Antonia, where's Jesus?"
Nel cassetto, amore mio: In the drawer, my love
Sambuca e castagne: Sambuca and chestnuts (yuuuuum)
Figlioletto, aspetta!: little child/little son, wait! Figlioletto is a common term of endearment, a more cutesy way of saying figlio
Mi scusi: Sorry/Excuse me
Benvenuto à Casa Zeppeli!: Welcome to the Zeppeli House!
FIFA CAMPIONI DEL MONDO 2006/FORZA AZZURRI! UEFO EURO 2022: Basically just soccer jargon. Every Italian I know has some variation of these posters up in their homes because soccer is essentially a religion to us
Orsachiotto: Little bear
~
French Glossary for Polnareff:
Oh non!: oh no!
Putain de merde!: Fucking shit!
Desolée: Sorry

My fave would be power couple Tristen and Eleanor 😍
Yessss! I still have no idea what their AU story would look like aside from their family but once I do I will either share it all as a text post OR if I have the time/energy I may make something similar to the Archenor AU. BUT here’s a lil scene of them.
Setting: Canon story (sorry no AU power couple convo for this one), Takes place sometime between Lauryn getting pregnant with baby 5 and before she goes on her extended vacation to Armorica. Tristen, Lauryn, and the girls are in Trenton for a birthday (either Emmett or Payton, you can decide lol). Eleanor is chilling off to the side with a sleeping Bebe Aubrey and Tristen walks over to her.
Tristen: How are you holding up?
Eleanor (in a sarcastic/snappy tone): I’m doing great, never better. Raising three kids while learning how to run a county someday and making sure I always appear perky and put together is a piece of cake.
Tristen: I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked.
Eleanor: No, no, I should apologize. I shouldn’t have been so snippy with you. I’ve just been so overwhelmed, I can’t seem to ever catch a break.
Tristen: Tell me about it.
(Tristen looks over at Lauryn playing with the kids, she seems to be enjoying herself)
Tristen: This is the happiest I’ve seen Lauryn in awhile. This…pregnancy, was unexpected and is taking a toll on her.
Eleanor: She and the girls are welcome to stay as long as they’d like. Maybe an extended vacation would be good for her.
Tristen: Thanks, I’ll suggest it to her. Though she did mention wanting to visit an old friend.
(Tristen and Eleanor are quite for a bit, Tristen seems deep in thought)
Tristen: Have you ever thought about giving it all up?
Eleanor: All the time. I wonder if I’d be happier if I wasn’t a princess, wasn’t the heir. Would my marriage be in a better place or would Ryland and I get divorced. Would I live here in Trenton or explore the world. There’s so many things I wish I could do but I’m stuck in this life.
Tristen: You’re not stuck, it’s your sense of obligation. I feel the same way. I just want to take Lauryn and the kids as far away from Druzar as I can. Somewhere we can relax and be a happy family.
Eleanor: What obligation is holding you back?
Tristen: My obligation to the Druzian citizens and the promise of a brighter future. I’m the only one of my brothers that knows how to deal with our father…most of the time.
Eleanor: Your father’s actions aren’t your responsibility nor your burden to bear.

hija mía, ángel de la tierra, mi flor, cándida flor del paraíso.
🕊️ ‧₊˚ ⋅ ໒꒱.*
she is named after a japanese word that means “love song”, which is aika, for her soul that is just as alluring and sweet as a love song on a sunday morning, or in the evening—what she is also named after. you might know her as seraphina, but she is definitely more than just her name. let me take you to a journey of knowing more about the girl,
aika evening seraphina
commonly known as seraphina, she is identified as INxJ. she wanders around being balmytea on twitter while talking about various things, such as idols, music, cinema, arts, even health and fitness—as she is currently studying similar field—which if you are on the same frequency, you will find it very amusing to link up! she fangirls over groups such as fromis_9, red velvet, ENHYPEN, SF9, RIIZE, and NCT, as well as other asian idols and actors. she’s also very fond of watching asian dramas and movies—some of the most impressive works she watched are my liberation notes (2021), hidden love (2023), king the land (2023), when i fly towards you (2023), the story of park’s marriage contract (2024), the beauty inside (2018), monster (2024), the three gentlebros (2022), and you & me & me (2023). it’s very vivid that she’s a girl of melodrama and romcom and she is a very huge thai, mandarin, and korean cinematic works enthusiast. however, she is always open for any good melodrama and romcom recommendations!
seraphina is a big fan of R&B and soul, especially raveena, yuna, victoria monét, alina baraz, jhené aiko, and sabrina claudio—as well as city pop artists like rainbow note, yukika, yel, and kim a reum. she is also into pop music and a fan of singers such as ariana grande, sabrina carpenter, and madison beer. she is a loyal listener of red velvet, and she looks up so much to joy! aside from being a fangirl, she is also an enthusiastic listener of k-pop groups’ songs. she loves listening to other foreign songs such as thai, vietnamese, french, and spanish as well!
on the other side, she loves making covers on bandlab, playing piano, writing, singing, drawing, and painting. she enjoys watching contents by jillz guerin, nara smith, surthycooks, tam kaur, simonsquared, wested_arin, lavendaire, alex bondoc, and more with soft living and encouraging messages; she would sometimes spend time to watch and take notes, like a lecture. she is very interested in talking about healthy lifestyle, fitness, and self care. as an INxJ, it is only natural that she is good at keeping up with deep conversations—even when it gets theoretical—so she would love to be engaged in a discussion and exchange opinions.
she mainly tweets in english, bahasa indonesia, and sometimes korean; she dedicates a huge enthusiasm to learning languages too and she is currently studying korean and thai—feel free to make her your study buddy if you’re currently learning the same languages!
here we are arriving at the end of the introduction journey! ♡ do you feel acquainted enough to join her on more trips of friendship together?
໒꒱. ⁺˳✧༚
💌💭 SERAPHINA’S note
my account type is unlabeled; i share my real life activities and pictures, i talk about unlimited kinds of topic, and i interact with my mutuals. please do not follow me without my consent. i really appreciate those who respect my privacy despite of my account being public. you can send me a message of request via DM; you are always more than welcome. strictly do not interact: my faves’ hater, hate speech tweeter, 02 voters/pro zionists/socially tone deaf, heavy NSFW/profanities tweeter, and follower/attention seeker.
i do soft block accounts i find violating.

Video
youtube
Many moons ago, tmills published something of a playlist — or, I think he used the words "compilation album" at the time — inspired by the movie Drive (2011). A couple of songs from his user-created album eventually became longtime faves, including Electric Youth's "Faces" and this song that I'm sharing here.
Fave songs ebb & flow in each of our minds. One day you're humming ABBA in the office, and later you're belting Céline Dion at day's end underneath the shower (for the record, I have never belted Céline Dion in the shower, or in any place, really). Last night I remembered Groove Armada's "Paper Romance" here, and while I didn't belt the song underneath streams of disjointed jets of water — made so because I'm too cheap & lazy to clear off the hard water stains let alone buy a new showerhead — I visited YouTube to see the video. I had never seen the music video before. While I can't say that it's a particularly remarkable or memorable video per se, the aesthetic really jibed with my intellect in that moment.
I have kind of a whispery confession to make here. Sometimes (well, more like every week) I visit a lesser-known LGBT-friendly bar in a sketchy side of town, far from the trendy "gayborhood" of San Antonio. As I push forty years old, I'm increasingly aware that my shelf life among the glamorous, image-conscious Zoomers expired a long time ago. And it's fine. My generation pushed out the generation before it, and I guess it's my turn now — my turn to flee into the sinewy embrace of the "old hags" who waited patiently year after year for me to realize that my wiry hair accented by the receding hairline, my ballooning paunch, my wincing visage in the face of the DJ's earnest "nostalgic hits" that I swear I heard only a few months ago, are all neither welcome nor cute in the bars.
Speaking of Zoomers, my own generation is odd. It's a neglected micro-generation called "Xennials." Look it up! We exist. We're sandwiched between Generation X and Millennials. Now Millennials are also supposedly too old, and soon they'll come waddling into the oldie bar after me. But beyond being forgotten in the mix of two very loud, two very raucous generations, my identity as a gay Xennial has also been a nebulous, weird thing to me.
I grew up in the 90s accepting things like Don't Ask Don't Tell, where it was OK to be gay, but don't talk about it, OK? And DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act) was around, and DOMA meant that it was fine for gay people to have "civil unions," but we shouldn't get fully married because, you know, that's not cool. Do people still say "cool?" I haven't heard anyone say it in ages. Anyway, beyond these policies, the West was navigating a precarious relationship with Russia post-Iron Curtain, and we were also mitigating a diminishing social landscape made possible by the exponential growth of the internet. The 90s were really transitional, man, and I'm still traumatized by it.
Much of this uncertainty left me feeling profoundly conflicted in several ways, and I didn't have any help from the Big Two generations, including their gays: Generation X gays (and frankly all gays before them, too) are really loud & proud about their homosexuality — and rightfully so! — and Millennial gays are really subdued & mellow about their homosexuality, and Millennials used to be the future at one point, so I should probably emulate their reserved attitude, right? I don't know. I don't know where these 'tudes leave me, or how I'm supposed to think. Anyway, the point of this stream of consciousness is that I now visit the "oldie" bar, and I take the bus there because drunk driving no longer exists under Millennial law — ridesharing made drunk driving a thing of the past — and Generation X always drove drunk in any case, but that never meant that I had to follow their outdated example(s) either. So public transit is my option since I don't really fit in with drunk driving nor with ridesharing, especially since I'm too poor for it anyhow, and thank heavens for public transit, am I right?!
And so after visiting the oldie bar as I do every week, I watched Groove Armada's video, and I thought about how the girl in this video kinda reflected my mood, being alone in the middle of the night, stumbling onto the streets, mais mon Dieu qu'elle est belle quand coule son rimmel, and it's true because the bartender gave me a lovely compliment last night about how my eye make-up "pops" every week when I show up to our little haunt.
And then I saw the number of views on this video: a measly twenty-four thousand. And then I felt profoundly neglected and confused all over again.
According to Wikipedia, Groove Armada has been around since 1996. They've probably made so many hits before & after "Paper Romance," but Paper Romance must have somehow got lost in the shuffle — just like me.
Just like me.
Anyway, tmills, the original uploader of the music, probably doesn't even remember sharing his lil' ol' album. If you're reading this post, buddy, then thanks for the tunes! You also added Neon Indian's "Polish Girl" to the album, but I already had that song, so it's been a duplicate track in my library for ages now. I bet you also didn't know that Neon Indian, or at least the main talent from Neon Indian, comes from San Antonio too, just like me. Just. Like. Moi!
And as an epilogue to this whole journey, according to Wikipedia's entry for Neon Indian, an ex-girlfriend to the main talent in Neon Indian apparently conceived their very name, "Neon Indian." Their band's whole identity was borne of an ex-girlfriend, a lady whom I've discovered, after some light stalker-ish investigation, is also the sister of a guy that I used to date several years ago. Worlds collide, right? There's probably an anecdote here about identity and barely missed opportunities, but I've done enough instrospection in this post. Sayonara, all!

📕CURRENT READS (2020 November)
🌹 Almost done with the list except for a few and I am excited to curate fics that are fitting for merry December 🎅❄🎄🤶 woot woot! 
I enjoyed this month’s reads - a mix of cyberpunk au, android au, werewolf aus, slice of life, exes and those on the verge of breaking up, and lots of beautifully-written drabbles which ended up in my list of favorites. 
Please send these authors some love by reblogging their content =)
✅ -  done reading   | S (smut) F (fluff) A (angst) 
Tumblr media
🥕[Ongoing Series - to check weekly] 
Still reading the ongoing series from October’s reading list, whenever there is an update 😊.
Onyx @springbean - JJK | ABO universe, omega!reader, rouge!Alpha!Jungkook, roommates, cyberpunk au | A, F (this is so fascinating)
[2/?] years after the war, Soketh has become a bustling electric city of life and death. a world now filled with mystery, danger, and rules, y/n finds herself rooming with her old friend while trying to find herself in the city of dangerous dreams. however, her world is turned upside down when a rouge alpha enters their life seeking refuge and help…
Vulgar and Divine @yeoldontknow - JHS | elf!hoseok au, enemies to lovers, arranged marriage,  fantasy au, horror, suspense | A, S
[1/?] The Elf King buys your hand in marriage as an act of political strategy - you, the Banshee Priestess and your ability to forewarn death in exchange for your people’s return to your original home in the River Lands. You hate him for the way his kind make a mockery of death. Even before you meet him, you decide you will not grieve his death - not even a little. But then, on the day of your wedding you begin to weep - and it is not out of love or rapture.
Kitchen Confidential @glitter-kookiedough - KSJ | chef au, slow burn, enemies to lovers | A, F, S
[3/?] After years of annoying the life out of you, your rival, Kim Seokjin, pushes you a step too far and he knows it. As angry and resentful as you are, you don’t realize that something has been brewing under the surface for years. This weekend, that will change. 🌟 new chapter🌟
enemiestolovers drabble series @sincerelyourfangirl - JJK | enemies to lovers, fwb, co-workers | S, A, F

Cherry Pickers @kimnjss - JJK | social media au, smau, gamer, fuckboi, vixen!reader, virgin!reader | F, S, A
[4/?] [updates daily] known for your body and surrounded by rumors about your sex life… rumors that he doesn’t think to doubt. until he’s meeting you… forced to realize there’s much more to you then the thonged shorts and lacy costumes.
(or, you’re a video vixen with an assumed identity and jungkook manages to see past it.)
Across the Board @out-of-jams - KTH | 20s, gambling, mafia au, enemies to lovers | S, A
[1/?] And now you’re indebted to the city’s most dangerous mob boss, forced to pay your dues in blood one way or another. With a gun pushed into your hands and your life at stake; once you’re in, you’re in. You’ll never get out.

Bubbline fanfic rec list
I did it. I made a master rec list of good Bubbline fanfics. Will keep updating this until I leave the fandom.
Grouped by setting (eg. Highschool AU, AT universe, Family AU etc.) in alphabetical order. They’re all romantic bubbline unless stated otherwise. This is a living document so I’ll be updating it every now and then with new fics and stuff. For any questions, changes or additions, please feel free to pm me on reddit/tumblr @hillariat
*SMUT = A significant portion of the fic is dedicated to SMUT
*some SMUT= A part of the fic has explicit smut, but it isn't a major part of the story
*UwU=personal faves

AN ACCIDENTAL FIC REC LIST
So.. I’m a lurker who reads a lot of fics and I get annoyed when I can’t relocate my fave ones. I started making this list of my faves mostly for myself but then figured I’d share it...
I’m Yoongi biased and gravitate towards angst fics so it’s mostly that but there’s fics for every member tossed in here. Some of these are pretty popular so you might have seen a few. 
Also, I realized I need to read more Jin, Jimin, and Hoseok fics so if you have recommendations let me know!
Once again it’s a LOT of angst so I would just like to say... CRYING IS GOOD FOR U.

hey! you don’t have to answer this, but i know close to nothing about hockey and my family and i have never really watched it and i’m starting to get very interested, but i have no idea where to start 😅 what do you think i should focus on first, as a newbie? what should i absolutely know as a fan? what teams are pretty good in your opinion? again, thanks for your help if ever you see this p.s: i really love your posts and they bring a smile to me face, so thank you for your hard work! <3
Hi!
Ohhh well. First of all. Welcome to the nerve wracking, nail biting, jaw clenching, gut wrenching, heartbreaking and utterly incredible world of (ice) hockey. Angry muscle machines on skates chasing a tiny rubber puck in the nhl and their goddess equivalents in wnhl - what’s not to love?
You’ve decided on a hell of a year to join. Due to Covid, the normal system was paused and a recent bubble playoffs series played and later won by Tampa Bay Lightning a few weeks ago. The new season would’ve begun last week but is currently expected to start around December.
I’d say the best starting point would be to watch some games - YouTube has a lot of highlights, game compilations etc. and browse hockey tumblr. Hockey tumblr is a great combination of hockey gossip, game reviews, fans sharing their love, passion and (hateful) opinions about players, clubs and the sport in general.
My personal team faves are a handful - you see, the league is “split” into two conferences - east and west and within here a few other divisions dictating who the teams will play on a more recent basis. The clubs in the nhl being split over North America and Canada means a lot of ground to cover and therefore it’s split like this - time zones, distance and whatever. So maybe decide on a conference first? East or west.
I’m an eastern conference gal meself, but the west sure has its merits too.
So. Teams. You’re about to start a rumble here 😂
I am a personal fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins 🐧 they play good hockey, in spite of their idiot general manager (I’ve got posts detailing why he’s an ass hat extraordinarie). They’re captained by Canada’s hockey savior, Sidney Crosby: hockey robot, yellow crocs enthusiast , triple gold member (youngest captain to get all three?) and the goodest boy in the league. He’s been heralded as the next great one yada yada since he was about 5? And shot pucks into a dryer back in Canada - with that came a lot of shit for the poor guy who, in his own words, just wants to play hockey. And he’s good. He’s got his team of French Canadian d-men (letang, dumo), a whole lot of goalie drama which seems to be a pattern and his Russian (husband) assistant captain Evgeni Malkin who’s got the cutest kid, a really cool wifey (seriously her insta is 10000 better than geno’s own) and a wicked sense of humor which he conviently hides behind his “English big bad today” excuse to avoid media on a daily basis (he’s played this card since his wild escape and temporary defection from Russia back in 2006) seriously google it. It’s wild. They’ve won three cups since 2009, they’re contenders in the playoffs most years and their pr department provides some hilarious videos of captain Canada and his Russian (husband) A. It’s a true love story. Sue me. We’ve got an intense rivalry with philly and the caps. Seriously. That orange flyers jersey is intense - even if philly’s mascot is the next president.
Funnily enough, my strange obsession with Russian hockey players have led to the most disturbing but developing club crush on the Washington capitals who are the penguins’ nemesis.
I mean, this club led by the one and only gr8 8 mr Alexander Ovechkin is a rollercoaster of emotion and hot daddies in skates armed with sticks and a murder Swede.
So. Washington caps used to be a joke in the league until they went and drafted mr ovechkin first overall, brought him to the capital and let him do his thing. He’s got a rep for being a hell of a lot of fun on the ice (if you’re on his team) and one of those players that people love to hate (even if they can’t take away how freakishly good he is at hockey) - look up his impossible goal(s)! He’s an exuberant, fun loving Russian with a heart of gold and a missing tooth. In 2007, the caps went shopping for a center just for ovi who needed a playmaker and a slap shot feeeder - they went and drafted the Swedish angel (maybe assassin) (Lars) Nicklas Backstrom - and the purest hockey marriage was forged. The actual words (we needed a center for ovi and ovi wanted backstrom) have been said. Yes, these two Are now famously the mama and papa of the caps and they have a roster of unruly (and handsome) hockey babies with the fighting menace Tom Wilson, bird impersonator and Russian cat Evgeni Kuznetzov and a whole army of other adorable (albeit hockey playing menaces) babies. Most recently they had the leagues daddiest daddy goalie Mr Holtbeast as the fun and handsome canadien cowboy uncle but he’s ventured to Vancouver to adopt a new group of hockey babies. To compensate, the caps went shopping in New York and brought the one and only king Henrik from the crease in msg to be the goalie mentor for baby Russian caps goalie and to keep the daddy energy flowing.
(Seriously why are Swedish players part time models? Their national team strategy is to be so handsome the other teams are distracted. It’s a thing. Look it up)
I also love a handful of other players on other teams (I really don’t dislike any team in particular - but you’ll meet some dedicated and strong minded fans here)
Erik Horse Johnson, Cale Makar and Nikita Zadorov (Colorado Avs - zad have recently been traded to the blackhawks (not sure how I feel about that). Phwucking fun team. Who needs teeth anyways.
Marc Andre Fleury (Vegas now but hell always be a penguin to me)
The Russian gang in Tampa - and giant Swede victor Hedman (seriously he’s massive)
The canes (Carolina) and their collective of Finnish and Russian babies (aho, svech) with chaotic Marty and former penguin Baby Staal as captain
And a whole lot of others too. It’s hard to choose.
The Dallas stars and the most precious bean of them all (Russian) dobby - Anton khudobin their backup goalie turned playoffs hero and fashion icon. The man said we’re not going home and threw the entire team on his back and dragged them to the final. And their homoerotically charged captain and his alt captain and their Hollywood epic soap worthy relationship. Stallions, people, Stallions...
Btw we like to project our brash queerness onto this league. You’ll learn why quickly. There’s only so much talks about hot hands, slick moves, eternal love for teammates and quite frankly obscene (sexy) amounts of kneeling, roughing (let’s face its it’s just aggressive cuddling) and teammates honorably defending teammates.
Anyways. I love hockey. He. Sorry.
Fun fact I’ve dragged @canesinthecrease kicking and screaming into the hellhole that is the caps and I’m working on convincing @dontpuckwithme about the incredibly sexy thing that is Russians and Canadians being secretly married in Pittsburgh.
Great, sexy, amazing, cool, smart and wonderful hockey ladies to follow for even more amazing content on more clubs (the hurricanes - also a team I’m starting to love). They’re my queer sherpas and emotional support network.
Hope you can use this dear (new) hockey friend and mutual 💖🐧

Hello, may I request some comedy/light drama etc. recs from the golden age of Greek TV?
Okay, then *cracks knuckles*
(For anyone who didn’t read the first answered ask, the “golden age” of Greek TV is 1990 - 2010)
I don’t know if you are the Anon who had asked the 2010 onward shows because they didn’t mind the subtitles. If you definitely need subtitles, I am afraid there are only two shows you can watch right now:
Είσαι το Ταίρι Μου (You’re My Soulmate)
Romantic comedy / light drama (2001 - 2002). Vicky and Stella are two very different friends who are Greek immigrants in Australia. Vicky is stunning and men go crazy for her but she has many insecurities. Stella is not conventionally attractive but she allows nothing to bring her down. They both fall for the same handsome rich Greek, Nikos. It’s no brainer who wins - Nikos is a womanizer and falls immediately for Vicky. The interesting part is what happens next - when Vicky’s insecurities make her come up with a crazy plan / prank that will unleash hell over these three, Nikos’ entire family and a couple of friends living in Athens and change their lives forever...and everyone will then get what they deserve... or what they are brave enough to claim. Overall just a hilarious and clever comedy, with great acting and memorable characters you end up loving and an ending that isn’t a cliche. Here’s the link to watch with english subtitles.
Tumblr media
Στο Παρά Πέντε (In the Nick of Time)
Mystery / Crime Comedy / Light drama (2005 - 2007) One of the two most famous Greek comedies. Five totally different people happen to be witnesses to the murder of a politician. Before he dies, the politician asks them to find who did it and take revenge for this and other crimes they have committed.  These five unassuming people become friends and start solving the mystery together like hilariously amateur detectives. In time, they will find out that there’s something more that unites them besides their friendship...and maybe not everything happens accidentally. Here’s the link to watch with english subtitles. This one is being subtitled right now.
Tumblr media
So bad news: only two shows with English subtitles. Good news: They are the best of the best, so no problem.
But if subtitles are not necessary, let’s proceed with the rest I love in no particular order:
10 Λεπτά Κήρυγμα (10 Minutes of Scolding)
Comedy (2000 - 2003). The life of Leonidas Alivizatos, an untamed only child with divorced parents. The story is basically the endless ways Leonidas find to escape the limitations his parents put to him and the shenanigans he does with his best friend Telis and his girlfriend Marilena that drive his family crazy. Fun fact: My generation, we all had at some point a crush on Leonidas...right?
Tumblr media
Singles
Romantic Dramedy (2004 - 2008). The show has four seasons although it’s the first one that mostly had a lasting impression on me. The story revolves around the social, professional and romantic lives of six young single people: Maro, a sensitive hopeless romantic, Rania, an angry cynic who hates relationships, Lila, a sex crazed cheerful woman, Orestes, an average I’d say young man who has his eyes on Maro though, Arthuros, Orestes’ best friend and a socially awkward man with a dark family past and  Loukas, a divorced father who seems to be quite the catch. There’s something special about the first season, it had an atmosphere, a style that I loved. The music was great too. I still remember the episode with the Reaper nightmares and that green light. In the following seasons, half of the cast changed.  Y’all Greeks here do you remember the title song? I love it.
youtube
Δεληγιάννειο Παρθεναγωγείο (Deligiannis School for Girls)
Comedy, Drama (2007 - 2008). Summer 1939. The events of the series evolve at the last period of the Greek Regime, the Greco-Italian War and the Nazi Invasion of Greece. Mimis Metaxas in the headmaster of the School and trapped in a miserable marriage. His father-in-law invites Agape, his niece, to teach at the school. Mimis falls desperately in love with Agape but of course he keeps it a secret. Agape is a free-spirited woman and it is soon clear that she is a Communist (or at least leaning toward left ideals) and Mimis tries to balance his job as the Headmaster of the school, his sad marriage, his love and the historical events happening in the country with his need to keep Agape protected at all costs and under full secrecy.
Tumblr media
Κωνσταντίνου και Ελένης (Constantine and Helen’s)
Comedy (1998 - 2000). Okay, this is officially the best Greek comedy to date. After it ended in 2000, it has been on TV repeatedly and continuously to this day. For twenty years non-stop. It still  has bigger viewership than new current shows. An old aristocratic childless man writes two wills right before his death in which he gives his big residence. The one will is for Constantine, his aloof and conservative nephew who is a professor of Byzantine History in the University. The other will is for Helen, the only daughter of his beloved poor gardener who is a potty mouthed waitress. Constantine and Helen arrive at the house the same day and they are both determined to inherit the house and they can’t wait until the court date. The story revolves around everything they do to get rid of each other and their friends who are just as crazy as they are. There’s an interesting story about this show: they had done some tests and pilots and they were convinced that nobody was going to watch their show so the show became low budget and the actors were free to go batshit crazy. This ended up creating this hilarious masterpiece that is being rewatched by million Greeks to this day.
Tumblr media
Οι Μεν και οι Δε (Them and the others)
Comedy (1993 - 1996). Dionysis Dagas, a famous lawyer who defends criminals lives with his wife Vana, an aristocratic lazy woman, in their apartment in Kolonaki. In the apartment right next to them Timos and Nana Stamatis come to live, unemployed and a jewelry artist respectively. Timos and Nana attempt numerous times to take money from frugal Dionysis and in general a big war starts between them as snobby Dagas are the exact opposite of the hippy Stamatis.
Tumblr media
Σαββατογεννημένες (Born on Saturday)
Comedy (2003 - 2004). A sexist and all around horrible man named Savvas wins 7 million Euros at the lottery and as he learns it he has a car crash and loses his memory. His three ex-wives, the Greek language teacher Keti, the actress Bia and the tourist shop owner Soula, all very different and hating the guts of each other and Savvas, team up to find the lottery ticket before Savvas' memory recovers. But in order to achieve that, they have to act a lot and they have to take care of incapacitated Savvas themselves.
Tumblr media
Το Καφέ της Χαράς (Chara's cafe)
Romantic comedy (2003 - 2006 and 2019 - now). Chara Chaska, an Athenian unmarried mother decides to start anew and takes her daughter with her to go live somewhere close to nature. They go to a village in Mountainous Arcadia, named Kolokotronitsi. What Chara doesn't know is that the village is extremely traditional and backwards and governed by the conservative and misogynist mayor Periandros Popotas. Popotas and the villagers will start a big war against the newcomer, especially when they find out she wants to open a modern lounge cafe and is not married. Chara has only few supporters there but soon she will also have the interest of her biggest enemy. The show has been revived since last year, as the continuation of what happens many years later but I haven't been watching.
Tumblr media
Dolce Vita
Romantic comedy (1995 - 1997). Christina Markatou is the mature rich widow of a tomato factory owner and now she runs it on her own. Christina visits her daughter Dorita in Italy where she studies and upon her return to Greece she unexpectedly has a one night stand with young Antonis Kaloudis. What they both don't know is that Antonis is Dorita's fiance and travels to Greece to meet her family. After the initial shock, Antonis realises he prefers the mother but Christina tries to resist. The love though is too strong. Christina begins seeing Antonis, full of regrets and self-loathing, and tries to hide the affair from her daughter, the nosy housemaid Aspasia and the absolute terror that her mother-in-law is, Olga Markatou. Is there any chance for happiness?
Tumblr media
Εγκλήματα (Crimes)
Black comedy (1998 - 2000). Alekos and Flora have always been in love but never got together and got married to evil Soso and kindly Achilles respectively instead. Alekos finds Flora and they start an affair. Soso finds out about the affair quickly and tries repeatedly to kill Alekos. All the crazy things that happen start from all of Soso's murderous attempts and affect the lives of the aforementioned as well as their close relatives who are as crazy as the main characters. Will Soso achieve her biggest ambition to become utterly evil and kill Alekos and whomever else stands in her way?
Tumblr media
Σ' αγαπώ, μ' αγαπάς (I love you, you love me)
Domestic comedy (2000 - 2002). The hilariously realistic life of a couple, Dimitra and Thodoris (the actors play with their real names). The actors had such great chemistry that they were chosen as the voice actors for Greek Marlin and Dory in Finding Nemo (also with great success).
So, these are my favourites but there are many others I like or that are very popular but not my cup of tea. Any other Greek is welcome to recommend their own faves.

Interview given to The Severus Snape and Hermione Granger Shipping Fan Group.  (sharing here Admin approved)
https://www.facebook.com/groups/199718373383293/
Hello IShouldBeWritingSomethingElse and welcome to Behind the Quill, it’s wonderful to finally have the chance to chat with you.
Many readers will know you from your extensive catalogue of works like Convergence, A Soul-Mate’s Kiss, Entangled and of course, The Ribboned-Witch
Okay, let’s jump right in. What's the story behind your pen name?  It’s a simple one. I should be writing anything but fanfiction, ie o-fic. I need the pennies! Which Harry Potter character do you identify with the most? Probably a mix of Snape and Granger. Snape’s general curmudgeonliness (is that even a word?!) and Granger’s swottiness, (also perhaps not a word…) Do you have a favourite genre to read? (not in fic, just in general) Romance. Always romance. I am addicted to my Happily Ever Afters. Do you have a favourite "classic" novel? Persuasion by Jane Austen. Reunited lovers, a fave trope. At what age did you start writing? 14. How did you get into writing fanfiction? I blame Wolverine. I fell into Rogan (Wolverine and Rogue) in 2011, then starting writing it, when I *should* have been writing my o-fic…. What's the best theme you've ever come across in a fic? Is it a theme represented in your own works? The Marriage Law Challenge. Can that be called a theme? I love that, and have written a few. It’s probably an equal love with soul-mates/fated mates. I’ve written a few of those, too. What fandoms are you involved in other than Harry Potter? I’m a fairly linear shipper. So it was Rogan, then Sherlolly…then SSHG and it’s been only that for *gulp* almost seven years. If you could make one change to canon, what would it be? Do you have a favourite piece of fanon? Naturally, Severus Snape lives (not that he died in the first place!). Fanon? At the minute, I’ve read so much fanfiction, I’m not sure what’s solely in the books anymore! Dark Revels, maybe? Or could Jason Issac’s idea for long hair for Lucius Malfoy be considered fanon? lol Do you listen to music when you write or do you prefer quiet? It varies. Sometimes it’s whatever I have listed on Amazon Prime, or various rainy ASMRs. I so have a creativity sound thing that’s supposed to tap into your writing brain. It runs for 3 hours and does *seem* to work…when I remember to turn it on! What are your favourite fanfictions of all time? Hope Reawakened - Georgesgurl117 A Place in the World - Noodle In the Darkness in Which We Are Made - Corvusdraconis A Number of Ways to Kill Ron Weasley - Ms-Figg From the Corner - Coffeeonthepatio Chocolate Enchantment - Vivian B Forged in Flames - MsWhich Owned - TwilightDarkness82 Three Pregnancies and an Adoption - rhapsodybree A Witchhiker’s Guide to Beltane - TeddyRadiator Romancing the War - Pubella The Marriage Benefit - Miamadwyn The Nature of the Phoenix - scatteredlogic Vomica Domintor - Always_ss There are probably fistfuls more… lol Are you a plotter or a pantser? How does that affect your writing process? A panster. Which is why I often get to the middle of the middle of a story (*the* hardest place!) and it stalls! What is your writing genre of choice? Romance. Always. Which of your stories are you most proud of? Why? Ignis Tactus, mainly for the feel of it. And chapter 5, because of quality of the writing. It’s intimacy. Did it unfold as you imagined it or did you find the unexpected cropped up as you wrote? What did you learn from writing it? I had a vague idea of where it was going and wrote the first chapters in a few days. Chapter 5 took longer - as the smexiness always does. It was a reminder to pick out the right detail, which is a simple idea and the hardest to achieve. How personal is the story to you, and do you think that made it harder or easier to write? It wasn’t personal, I don’t think. A story is always a tapestry to me, weaving threads together to make sense.  What books or authors have influenced you? How do you think that shows in your writing? Probably from years back, Orwell and Hemingway. And a shedload of poetry. It’s made me aware of language and to aim to use the least words I can to sharpen the imagery, dialogue and setting. Do people in your everyday life know you write fanfiction? My other half does and that’s about it. I keep my fanfiction separate from my o-fic world. How true for you is the notion of "writing for yourself"? I like to write what I want to read, so very true? lol How important is it for you to interact with your audience? How do you engage with them? Just at the point of publishing? Through social media? I’m a social media hermit, tbh. I’m on the usual sites, because I have to be for work…and even then, I can happily wander away for weeks! I envy people who do social stuff naturally. What is the best advice you've received about writing? Look at your verbs and make them strong. What do you do when you hit writer's block? I’m been blocked for about 2/3 years, which is why I’ve slacked on writing, both fanfic and o-fic. I’m still trying to find a way around it. At the minute, I mostly play with digital art/Daz3d. Has anything in real life trickled down into your writing? Very probably. I do sit and ‘feel’ the emotion in a scene as I write it. Do you have any stories in the works? Can you give us a teaser? I’m plugging away on bits and pieces, the odd few hundred words here and there. So this is a bit of a bare snippet from The Offer of Just One More (yes, I also peck at that!) “Victoire said you’re mean, Daddy.” Alexandra’s little Severus scowl was quite plain. “I said you weren’t, so she tried to pull my hair. So we sat on her,” she pointed to herself, Oona and a beaming Olivia, “until she said you wasn’t…weren’t.” Hermione sighed. The Burrow was a bloody minefield. And she was certain there was more than Ron stirring trouble, through their children, to get in a dig at Severus. “You shouldn’t sit on people who disagree with you,” Severus murmured. There was a light in his eyes. Hermione was sure she’d get the blame for their three daughters being little hellions. A lifted eyebrow and the murmured, “Draco? An attack of birds? Setting me on fire?” “She sat under the tree with us last week when you were at the Burrow,” Emily said. Obviously their eldest had known about the altercation. And supported it. The Snape girls were just as protective of their father as he was as them. It was sweet. In a Mafioso sort of way… “It was the troll then, too. And she thinks you’re the best storyteller, now.” “Troll!” Meredith cried, waving her juice cup, obviously at the end of her patience in waiting for her story. “The troll, indeed, Meredith.” The toddler beamed up at her father and clapped her hands. Severus glanced down at a still-sleeping Hannah. His voice was soft as he asked. “So…who is the hero of this story?” Five little girls grinned and looked towards Hermione. She blushed. “Mummy!”
“And who is the villain?”
“The Troll!” Oona and Olivia declared. “Because he attacked her.”
“Quirrell. He released the troll.” Alexandra said. Emily shook her head. 
“She wouldn’t be in the toilet at all without Ronald Weasley.”
“Weedy!” Meredith laughed and the semi-circle of girls fell into giggles. Her eldest had recently taken a sharp dislike to her old friend. Hermione’s eyes met her husband’s. They would have to keep an eye on what the ginger menace was saying around their children. Or wait four years, and let Emily hex him. Any words of encouragement to other writers? Write what calls to you…and find your fun in playing with language. Hunt out those moments where you go ‘ooh, that’s good!’ Thanks so much for giving us your time. No worries. A pleasure :)

~dear yuletide santa~
happy yuletide! thank you so much for writing fic for me. i’m mylittleredgirl both on ao3 and tumblr.
i’m pretty easily delighted, so do your thing and i will love it, but in case it helps to inspire you, here are some things i love / don’t love so much, and some specifics on the fandoms i requested!
general things i love:
happy or hopeful endings
episode-related fic
pining (especially no-i’m-definitely-NOT-jealous pining)
hurt/comfort (especially “oh my god you’re not dead”)
friendship & family fic
canon divergence
kinks enjoyed: gentle dom/sub vibes (bondage & praise yes, pain & shaming no); amtdi; overindulgence (food, drinks, whatevs); masturbation (mutual, pining, whatevs); i’ve never said no to a quality blow/hand job fic
things not so enjoyed:
character death
hurt no comfort
crossovers (except within the same canon universe, for star trek)
historical AUs
character-bashing: i like everyone in canon, including canon love interests that are not my preferred pairing
fandoms requested:
star trek: picard (chars: elnor, seven, soji)
absolutely in love with the idea of the elnor and seven adventures
but really not into the idea of elnor and seven together romantically please 🙅‍♀️
it’s ok if soji doesn’t fit into the story! i requested her as an alternative because if you’re not inspired by elnor & seven adventures, i would also be very happy with soji fic of any kind :)
characters/plot points from other treks welcome as i am Big Trek Nerd but not required
lost in space (2018) (chars: john, maureen)
the robinsons are good for all moods and ratings
john and maureen are. Very sexy. in that consensual kink sort of way
they are also good parents and feel free to include any/all of their family/found family 💗
i’m not super into don/judy
also one look at the fandom tag in ao3 makes me feel like i should add that i think the robot does not and should not fuck
star trek: lower decks (chars: mariner)
i love everyone, literally, all of them i love them so much
the lower deckers and the bridge officers, really, i just came out to watch a cartoon not fall in love with an entire animated ensemble
so please use any/everyone you choose
but mariner is my fave so i requested her
i don’t really ship anyone romantically but all the friendships on this show are legendary
sga rpf (chars: torri, joe)
really into the torri/joe of it all
other love interests/joe’s real life marriage at the time is cool for pining purposes
i’m really into the ~Oh No We Mustn’t~ (or the corollary: ~Oh No We Did~) nature of it all
and joe being jealous really works for me
i’ve written them before and it’s all on ao3, but locked to logged-in readers only
cheers (chars: sam, diane)
this couple is an absolute disaster but i would have loved them to annoy each other til death do they part
partly to protect the rest of the world from having to date either one of them tbh
really anything with them would be delightful!
but secretly i would love to just ignore canon and have her actually come back after her writing retreat like she promised 🥺
and also can you imagine her co-owning the bar, like can you imagine

Hi :) I... really wanna read a fanfic or two but I can't find one I vibe with xD So... do you know one that's not too long (around 100k words maybe), has hurt and comfort, smut (am I allowed to ask about that?? Ahhhh) and a happy ending? Top!lock would be a bonus but it's not necessary. And if it's a nice AU (like... any kind but no crossovers pls), it would be perfect! :D By the way, I found your blog only a few hours ago and I already feel really comfy and Idk, kinda at home here ^-^
Hi Nonny!!!

Will and his team of scientists are headed out on the first of three manned missions before the first group of settlers arrive. Three days before launch, one of the crew has to be replaced.

Like your flatmate's nose buried in your hair. Whilst you're in bed. Part 1 of Nitroglycerine

In the weeks leading up to Christmas, many things happen that have our boys wondering if maybe they have a chance with each other. Then Irene fakes her death on Christmas Eve, and things get a lot more complicated - especially since they still have a killer to catch.
floating through a dark blue sky by Lediona (M, 58,966 w. || Notting Hilll AU || POV John, Celebrity Sherlock, First Date / Time / Kiss, Past Drug Addiction, Angst with a Happy Ending) – Of course, I’d seen his films and always thought he was, well, brilliant -- but, you know, a million miles from the world I live in.

The Burning by SrebrnaFH (M, 60,658 w. || Reverse Reichenbach, Suicide, Depression, Hurt Sherlock / John, Separation, BAMF John, Good Big Brother Mycroft, Angst, Implied/Referenced Torture, Fake Character Death, Rescue Mission, Reconciliation / Reunion, Hospitalization, Marriage Proposal, Illnesses, Physical Therapy, Happily Ever After) – Something went very, very wrong. John had seemed, if not happy, then reasonably content with his life. Sherlock had never predicted something like THIS might have happened. Not in his worst nightmares. He was the lousiest friend ever, apparently. At least Mycroft found him something to occupy his mind with, so that he didn't have to go back to 221B and stare at the walls and the chair, where John Watson would never sit again.
This Thing All Things Devours by cypress_tree (E, 63,844 w., 15 Ch. || In Time AU || Science Fiction, Dystopian Universe, First Meetings, Action / Adventure, Romance) – In 2169, time is money—literally. Humans are genetically engineered to stop aging at 25, when the numbers on their arm start counting down from one year. When that time is up, they die. The only way to get more time is to earn it, borrow it, or steal it.John Watson lives day-to-day in the crowded slums of Zone 13.

The Bells of King's College by SilentAuror (E, 64,019 w., 5 Ch. || Post-S4, Missed Opportunities, Angst with Happy Ending, Fake Relationship, Case Fic, John POV, Jealous John, John in Denial, Travelling / Holidays, Virgin Sherlock, Wedding Proposals) – It's only been two weeks since Eurus Holmes disrupted their lives when Mycroft sends John and Sherlock to Cambridge to pose as an engaged couple at a wedding show in the hopes of solving six unsolved deaths...
Hell Sent, Heaven Bound by ConsultingHound (M, 64,381 w, 16 Ch. || Angels / Demons AU ||  Fallen Angel Sherlock / Angel Cop John, Alternate First Meeting, Slow Burn, Case Fic, John & Lestrade are Friends Before Sherlock, BAMF John, Mind Palace John, Friends to Lovers, John in Denial, Sherlock Picks Out John’s Clothing, Clubbing / Dancing, Mildly Jealous John, Awkwardness, Kidnapping, Sherlock’s Mind Palace, Sacrifice, Worried / Anxious Sherlock, Angst with Happy Ending, Immortal to Mortal) – Ex-War healer and current angelic guard John Watson is not having the best day. He overslept, he’s underpaid, and now there’s someone tagging the Council’s building walls. However things may be about to get interesting: there’s an unusual stranger hanging around (the definition of tall, dark, and handsome), a literal underground cult is brewing, and rumblings are coming from hell. Can he keep his neighbourhood safe, how and why is he being connected to all this, and who the hell is Sherlock Holmes?
White Knight by DiscordantWords (M, 69,840 w., 13 Ch. || S4 Compliant/Post S4, Marriage For a Case, Jealous John, Pining John, Janine / Sherlock Fake Relationship, Serial Killers, Case Fic, Undercover as a Couple, Weddings, John is a Mess, Misunderstandings, Wedding Planning, Jealousy, Drunkenness, Love Confessions, Angst with Happy Ending) – Green. The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience. Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it. Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.
Being John Watson-ish by elwinglyre (E, 69,902 w., 17 Ch. || Bodysnatcher AU || Author John, Cranky Sherlock, Angst, Sexual Tension, First Kiss / Time, Falling in Love, BAMF John, Past Soldier John, Feelings, Inside Someone’s Brain, Shy Sherlock, Sherlock Loves John, POV Sherlock, Switchlock, Slow Burn, Internal Dialogue, Mental Turmoil) – When consulting detective Sherlock Holmes steps on one toe too many at a crime scene, he's consigned to a desk job in an archaic office on the seventh-and-a-half floor of the New Scotland Yard. It’s in this bleak office that Sherlock discovers a portal into the mind of renowned author John Watson. Grander than his mind palace, this new wonderland affords Sherlock new vistas of experimentation. To learn more about the mystery behind the portal, Sherlock seeks out and befriends Watson. But then it all goes wrong when others find the secret portal door—including the man whose brain he visits.
Just To Hold You Close by sussexbound (E, 70,841 w., 18 Ch. || Alternate First Meeting, Sherlock POV, ASD Sherlock, PTSD John, Demisexual Sherlock, Bisexual John, Cuddling/Snuggling, Platonic Cuddling, Enthusiastic Consent, Bed Sharing, Love Confessions, First Kiss/Time, Sexual Tension, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Cuddle Negotiations, For a Case Until It Isn’t, Hair Petting, Sexual Negotiation, Anxiety, Trust Issues, Slow Burn, Panic Attacks, Frottage, Hand/Blow Jobs, Referenced Self Harm / Abuse / Suicidal Ideation, First Kiss/Time, Anal) – When a woman is murdered and the last person to see her alive is recently invalided army vet turned reluctant (and prickly) professional cuddler, John Watson, Sherlock Holmes is pulled into a world of intimacy and intrigue he never could have imagined.

The dim light of the moon barely allowed Sherlock to see the glassy terror in John’s eyes and the sweat that glistened off his forehead. His nose was bleeding again, blood dripping in a slow stream from his right nostril. They were both gasping for air, John’s eyes locked on Sherlock’s. There was no recognition there, just wild animal fear. Time stood still for an eternal few seconds, and Sherlock took a shaky breath. “John—”Spell broken, John spun and bolted back into the woods. Still heaving for air, Sherlock took off after him.

As they head out to a remote archipelago off the coast of Guatemala to study and film its shipwrecks for a documentary, will sparks fly or fizzle out?

Tumblr media
“Rihanna, hello!? Are you with us” I blinked looking around me and then looking at the laptop “yeah” I laughed to myself, I zoned out to a place where I wasn’t married or pregnant, the way I would get him back for this in so many ways “I am here, carry on. So” I stifled out a yawn “sorry, so the Puma event will be in California for me? That is sweet thank you, I know it was going to be in London but moving it for me is sweet” I am tired as hell “yes, so as we was saying the event is pretty much after your husband’” I rolled my eyes, do I even have one “yeah, ok that is fine. I am excited, sad that I couldn’t be in the promo video. I just didn’t expect to be growing this big” I laughed “funny when this shit sells because of me, I don’t even think my foot would fit in any of the shoes at this moment” I sighed out “anyways, I am fine with that. I will do everything I can, I will be posting soon with the slides on so I will start rolling that out” I explained “Yeah, that is fine. So onto other things” Jay Brown smiled at me, it wasn’t a smile that I want. It’s that he knows I don’t want to speak on it “cheating rumours, what is happening. Your publicist is in the Zoom meeting, so let’s speak on it” Jay Brown sat back in the chair “we need to speak on something that is plastered on many avenues even though you have been quiet about it, he is where? In Canada and you are in Mexico. What is happening” looking over at Mel “it’s a little bit of a misunderstanding but I rather be quiet on it, I haven’t exactly spoken to Chris like that. So no comment really, I don’t want to speak on it when I don’t know what to say. I know my husband hasn’t cheated on me, that is it” silence from the call and this place is driving me crazy “so can you actually speak to him, he’s doing a lot of damage. We are building him up alongside you, if he is putting my client down Robyn then something needs to be done about it” nodding my head “when I speak to him I will, I need to go. Bye everyone” I knew that part would come on “ASAP Rihanna, we need you to do that” getting up from the chair, closing my laptop.
Sitting down outside on the chair, this weather is the only thing that is making me happy. Just sun, sea and breeze “are you ok? You knew they was going to ask; everyone is asking. I know you’re sick of people asking but I would ask, just like you snapped with your mother, but they are just asking, they don’t understand when you say he isn’t when the blogs have really manipulated the situation” Mel sat down across from me “he texts me, he won’t call because he knows I am pissed. How can he do so much in these two days, he has me Rihanna looking at his Instagram like I am nothing. I don’t want to be nasty to him, I don’t but it’s getting there. He hasn’t checked on me, I want to get him back, I want him to know pain. He doesn’t know where I am or what I am doing. We are flying back to Cali; you are coming with me to my scan. I bought the date forward. I said I am busy, I will find out the sex of my baby without him there, we will come back to Mexico. I have to get him back; I have to do it. I have worked so hard for him; I don’t get it. I am never enough for a man?” Mel held my hand “that is untrue, I think he is in the moment. He’s having fun but the fun is no good, I believe in Chris. I know his intentions aren’t what the public see, the girls are making it that way. But I am excited to come with you, you my wife” I smiled at Mel “I was daydreaming if I wasn’t married or pregnant, I would have got him back publicly to shame him, but he is my husband, and I don’t want that. So” I breathed out “I am doing that, I know he said he is coming back Monday night, night? You hear that? Such an asshole, not even morning. But we will be back here, he will feel how I felt, and I put that on my momma. I am not going to lash out, but he will feel it” I slammed my hand on the table, I am sick.
Mel and I are funny together, we have a burner account to be nosey and to mingle with my fans. My fans want me to divorce, I get it. Outside looking in this looks bad, it looks like he is openly just doing that, but I know he isn’t, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, they are writing thesis about my wellbeing, how I am a single mother already. They are very hard headed my fans “juicy, so someone asked who is this chick? I don’t get it why is everyone on her ass, this fan page put India Love has been with Drake and has been staying at his house for a week now, looks like he has passed him onto that bastard husband of hers, fave can do better. She has been around, I mean are we shocked” shaking my head “I didn’t even know girl until now, is he being blind to the mess. Like I am deep in it and he is in that OVO compound just doing what? I mean come on, are you really being this ignorant” speaking of him, he calls when I just want to slap that face of his “what?” I answered, “I call and all you keep saying it what?” placing my phone on loud speaker “are you being ignorant Chris? I know how much of an asshole you can be, are being ignorant?” I need to know, he is just being sly with everything “those blogs can suck my dick and if you believe that then you dumb as them” shaking my head “right, Chris you are very new to this. Trust me, you are very fucking deluded right now. So you didn’t repost anything on your page?” I just can’t help myself; I am not getting real answers by being quiet “I have no idea, I was drunk. I didn’t see anything on my page” Mel’ mouth fell open “so all those screenshots were just lies Breezy huh? You know what, bye get the fuck off my line nigga” disconnecting the call “no way, he has been caught out, he knows he has made a mess. Oh my god” he is digging and digging “if I knew he wanted fun then I wouldn’t have married him, he asked” I sniffled “anyways, I just. I need to get on hateful mode, tomorrow we are going to the hospital and coming back” flicking the tear away, Chris tried calling me again, but I put it down, he can go and have his fun because he will have no choice but to be coming home to me soon.
I somehow feel upset that Chris is not here, I feel the sadness in me but he needs to feel how I feel and he will, I look so stupid publicly and social media is the devil for him, I feel for him because that India chick is running, I was going to comment but I stopped myself because then it looks like there is issues, I didn’t know he followed her either. Not even recent either, he been following her which to me I didn’t think like that. But the recent picture of Chris I seen and I know his face, I think it’s hitting him now. He isn’t smiling but yet manages to take pictures, he needs to know that India chick is not a friend, she is dragging him down. I assume he is thinking they are just friends, and he is being kind. I know him, I know what he is like, but he is playing dumb, he is really doing it “Mrs Fenty-Brown” looking up as the nurse “hi” getting up from my seat “hello, nice to see you again. You look so well, follow me” smiling at the nurse as I followed her to the room, Mel wasn’t sure about doing this and was like maybe this will break him but he has the world questioning my intentions of marrying him, I can do better but I can’t because I love him, I do love him and to me he is perfect but he is causing so much shit and then when he played a stupid card about being drunk, I don’t care. I rather find out the sex of the baby with Mel “hi Robyn, welcome” Audrey waved me in, walking into the room “nice seeing you” hugging Audrey “likewise, and who is this?” she pointed at Mel “she is my best friend Mel, Chris is busy” Audrey shook her hand “please come in” sitting down on the chair “I always said I had time for you did I not, I guess you have a busy schedule” nodding my head “I do so that is why I had to change it, but thank you for fitting me in” it was nice of her.
Audrey wasn’t wrong when she said that this scan is long as hell, she hasn’t said anything to me so I can imagine that things are ok with the baby but she is still measuring things and checking for any abnormalities, I have been very quiet since laying down with Mel holding my hand but I am just missing him and he should have been here really, this is what sucks but he has shamed me enough publicly, and making me look stupid “did I ever tell you that on Chris’ and I honeymoon that this guy called captain, I never said anything about being pregnant, that was when I was hiding that fact, so nobody really knew. He randomly told me that I am having a daughter, out of nowhere said I am having a girl. And I was so taken aback that he said that. I questioned how he knew, he said he sees the future and that I have four children but he is not sure about the forth, I am like what the fuck” Mel’ eyed bulged out “if he is correct I am going to him, he can tell me where the fuck I am going wrong” I laughed “likewise, that is if he is right” Audrey added that to the end, she isn’t giving anything away “he also said that we have a beautiful marriage and there isn’t anything we can’t take, things will be bumpy so yeah” I shrugged “I am being deadass Robbie, if he is right. I am going to Jamaica and seeing him” I chuckled “you ain’t going to wait for anything huh” shaking my head laughing “nope, Audrey tell us please” Mel is rushing her.
Audrey has been quiet and that scares me “why are you quiet?” I asked, she spoke more last time “I am doing a report on baby, there is a lot I have to write. No news is good news, if I started speaking and telling you then I was leading up to bad news. So are we ready to see baby, I can tell you the baby is so healthy, very active in the stomach. You heard the heartbeat right, but shall we see?” nodding my head “I can’t wait, I want to see my baby” I shrieked “I always felt like yes I am pregnant but it was a tiny little thing and I have been reading up on it and now they take form so I am so excited” Audrey smiled “that is right so if you would like to look at the screen in front of you, and now it’s in a weird position, let’s see if the baby moves while we do this” the screen came on and I pulled a face “this is the baby feet” she laughed “awww, showing the feet off, how adorable. Oh wait, I see a penis” Mel said, squinting my eyes “I am joking” hitting her arm “lying bitch” she is annoying “do you know hundred percent what the baby gender is?” I questioned “I can say one hundred percent I know what it is. Do you want to know?” looking over at Mel and guilt just came over me but then why should I wait “oh my god look at the baby moving Robyn, this one doesn’t actually be still” I swallowed hard “tell me, I want to know” staring at the screen seeing my baby “if you can see here, she just put her thumb in her mouth” poking my bottom lip out “wait” it just hit me “we have a mini Rihanna with the way she moves” placing my hand over my mouth “it’s a girl?” Audrey nodded her head “It’s a girl, congratulations” I sobbed out loudly, I was louder then I should have been but I am feeling so hurt about everything and now I am having daughter.
I feel so embarrassed that I cried the way I did, I wanted to run out of the place after that “mess” I said to myself “don’t say that, I am happy. So fucking happy, a whole niece. And I think she has your nose; I swear she does. Just look at the polaroid” shaking my head “you think I did wrong?” I asked Mel “erm, only you know your own pain Robyn. I think what makes it worse the headlines, it’s making the whole thing worse. Only you know the hurt he will feel but I mean, he has the world thinking the marriage is sham too, it’s a hard situation” looking out of the SUV window “I just wanted him to tell me before, I wanted him to keep in contact. It stemmed from that, that was the downfall. He is showing out, I get it but he needs to come back to who he is, he is not like them. Money can change a person, it can, and I don’t see that with Chris, but you end being that way because you have to show off to make it. I don’t ever expect him to not be around females, I don’t. But there are classy women and classless. Those girls that are there are there for one thing, I fully expected women to be there, I did but I just you know. I didn’t think Chris would be laughing and joking that way with them, he is flirty with his niceness and then when he reposted that and deleted it and his reaction to it, I have work on my hands. His ego is getting in the way, one of us are going to break and I hope it is him because if I do then my point isn’t going to get to him” I spoke to myself really, Mel will be just listening “my daughter will never go through what I went through, she will have a home and a loving home. She won’t go through that, she won’t and so help me god I won’t allow that, she will be loved by her dad, and she will get that” wiping my tears “she will get that Mel, my daughter will. Anyways, back to Mexico I need to sleep. I am tired” this is a mess.

Drake’ crib is the best thing I have ever seen in my life, the place is amazing, and I appreciate that he even allowed me into his home and let me just relax with the homies, I have had the best time here “back to sunny Cali now” Drake made his way over to me with his hands stuffed in his pockets “yes, I think it’s time. I think a nigga is in trouble, so you know” he got his hand out “I don’t pay attention to the blogs, you know what is in your heart so who cares” dapping him “true but thank you. Also they think I am a rapper now” Drake laughed out “album soon come, but we will see each other soon. Birthday next” I took in a deep breath “I think I am going to be in trouble bad, there won’t be one for me” Drake is laughing but I am being dead ass “this is why I don’t do marriage; I am young, and I need to evaluate myself. I need to test and taste the world yet but you’re an exception you had to wife Rihanna up, that was a must because it’s Rihanna but marriage for me, you did it anyways, but I wouldn’t pay attention to what the blogs say, you know your heart” he has a point “Breezy leaving us that quick, he barely arrived” Drake turned around to India “he has priorities now, you could both catch a flight together. I am joking but he’s going, link up soon. Tell riri it was nothing, it was just a little get together” picking up my duffle “be quiet nigga, anyways I am out. Indian, peace. Nice meeting you love” waving her off “until we meet again” I laughed out, that won’t be happening for a while “sure” I said as I continued to walk off.
I have not managed to look through social media like that, I have been peeping here and there but from what I know, from what TJ has been saying it’s not good and now I have to face the music of Robyn which I did nothing wrong, she is acting like I had an orgy which yes there could have been a thing but no, I am faithful to Robyn, she is my wife and I love her, but I enjoyed myself so much. I have never laughed so much in my life, just good vibes. Good booze, good weed, good vibes all around. It’s just amazing but now I am here, and I am dreading it, Robyn did not see the IndiaLove repost, I did it in a drunken manner in the middle of the night and I deleted, she sleeps early. It’s all hearsay on what happened and she is reading into that “thank you” picking my duffle back from the backseat as I got out of the Uber, I don’t know about that SUV shit, I don’t’ know how to be booking that shit when Robyn be telling about it. Drake only allowed phones in the oarty, that is why there is only pictures of that floating around, there was plenty of other shit in that, it’s all bullshit but I am just going to have to listen to Robyn go on about it, throw me out of the bedroom and deal with that, she is going to be dramatic.
I huffed out, I came back at night because she will be asleep and looks like she is. It’s quiet as hell but none of the lights are on, let me go upstairs and say hi to her that I am back because I want her to know that I did come back. Walking up the steps, looking down at my phone laughing at Drake’ text about have a I been kicked out yet, TJ said the same thing what is wrong with these niggas. Making my way to the bedroom, I don’t want to argue with Robyn this is why I will let her speak on how she feels first before I even say anything, yes I get it women were there. But nothing happened, pushing open the bedroom door and it’s just dark. No light on, I pulled a face. Not like Robyn at all, reaching over and putting the light on seeing the empty bed “Robyn?” looking around the bedroom, she can’t be in the bathroom because the light is off there too. Walking into the room more confused, slowly placing my bag on the bed looking around and then seeing my clothes on the floor, a trail actually. I swallowed hard; did something break into the home. Putting the light on in the walk in closet and my clothes are on the floor “fuck” where has she gone, getting my phone out of my pocket panicking on where she has gone.

Staring at Mel, Chris is on the phone to Mel because I have ignored his calls, so he called Mel “how do you not know where she is Chris? I don’t know where she is” Mel lied, I wonder how far is he going to go “I will try for you, ok bye” Mel disconnected the call “he is panicking sis, like when I said I don’t know she is supposed to be home he said I should know, like hell I should” my phone started ringing again “he is going to call me again, so he says because I am going to find out for him. He didn’t say why he just says she’s not home. Where is she, she should be home. What if someone has kidnapped her” rolling my eyes “now he cares, he hasn’t bothered since being in Canada but now he’s trying to move mountains. If he calls again I will pick up but honestly I should make him suffer for how he has done me, I just knew this whole trip would have been bad vibes because of the way he told me, I don’t want him to be Rihanna’ husband, I want him to have his own name but in the right way, anyways. I think it’s time I post” I smiled “oh yes, Melissa photography!” I grinned “let see how he feels when you post on Instagram and you don’t pick up, I am not saying about who took it though” looking down at my phone “I don’t mind” Mel said, she took a beautiful pictures of me with the sunsetting in the background. A side view of me, one hand just under my bump and the other arm just over my boobs. Bitch I was naked and what but it’s just a side view and it’s a nice ass picture, I smiled to myself adding a caption ‘Peace’ I wanted to keep it short, I did want to put just the two of us but it’s sparking drama so that is simple “that is now posted” I giggled to myself “it’s a beautiful picture, a black queen is going to give birth to a black queen and I love that for you” I am excited to know I am having a daughter.
That picture wasn’t even up for a second, he is calling me already, so the nigga has my notifications on clearly “that was quick, you know he is panicking” Mel is right he is, answering the call “yes?” I answered “I have been calling you! Least ten times now, what the fuck!” he shouted, “lower your tone, what is it?” oh the nigga is panicking, he is shouting so he has lost senses now “where are you!? Why is my clothes on the floor, where did you go without me knowing, are you serious? I thought someone took you, I panicked” he said out of breath “ok” I don’t care “ok? Robyn, I was scared. Where are you? I expected you home, this is stupid. And you posted a naked pictures, I told you about the body thing” I knew he would say that “so nigga?” I said, he is acting like I care “I get it, you’re angry with me but where are you. Come home” I sniggered “I am in Mexico” the line went silent “for what?” he said, his voice is less panicky now “I don’t know, last minute thing. You know how that goes” he did that to me “I will come to you, you went there alone!?” staring at Mel “yes” I lied, I think I will tell Mel to go because she doesn’t need to be involved in any of this “right, I will come there to you, like now” he can come I don’t care “make sure my house is clean before you think of leaving that house, I want the bed made, clothes picked and the washing done. And the floor needs cleaning Breezy” disconnecting the call “Mel you will need to go, he wants to come here. I don’t want you involved in any of it, neither of us can look to you for help. This is between me and him, he better clean that shit up” placing my phone on the table.

I don't understand GF3. First she made it clear, that they aren't seeing each other again because Armie reminded her of her ex, but now she is always hinting that there is something between them. The bruise on the ass post is also back in the stories again. I think of all three I like her the least.
I think the one that I would mind less - if I wasn't a rotten charmie through and through - is Rumer. She's dealt with some issues of her own but from what she shows she's overcome some of them and worlks constantly on herself to be the best version of herself she ca be. But of course.. she wasn't immune to the allure of "share a song and I'll tell you who you're dating" either.

So, we covered GF2.
Let's move to GF3 and save the best for last. LMAO.
This woman... she's something else. And before any other ado, I have to admit that she fooled me in the beginning, you know the whole scorned woman trying to figure out how to navigate her singleness... but, yeah, no. 😂 she divorced from her husband after 2 years of marriage in 2014 and throughout the end of 2019 (I think? Anyone correct me if I'm giving out wrong infos) according to her IG - "hacked" and wiped clean at the end of 2019 - she was now on now off with her ex-husband.
Something that he stated to be untrue, meaning they weren't back together.. like, ever (color me confused by the tons of pics of them at events from 2016/2018... 🤡).
But you know, apart from all that... she really comes off as a little as little Liz wannabe, you know? Fake wokeness and all that over sharing while pretending to still keep a little privacy. Yeah, that kind of thing... but Liz definitely wins, hands down. GF3 doesn't stand a chance. Other than that she knows what she's doing, she's willing to play it whatever her reason might be but still she wants to cling on that self-respect, self esteem stuff. But, amore mio, you filmed yourself while driving... how much of all that you have left?
Then comes the alleged comment made to People on the likes of "yeah, no, fuck this. Ain't nobody got time to get cheated on AGAIN" ... Idek?! Like, looking at the bigger pic, People has lately become very Liz-friendly (and Hammily friendly before July 10th - my god, I still can't believe it!!!), so I wouldnt, you know, take whatever they write about Armie and people associated with him atm as gospel?!
Buuuut, on the other end.. she could've just as well said it and this is just the nth person who's trying hard to jump on the Armie Hammer's train of "yeah, put your name next to mine on headlines and watch me become a sm personality".
But what shocks me the most is that this person has written/writes, idk, culumns for the New York Times ... like, I know .. someone's job doesn't define who they are but maaan, this is such a paradox! And it's sending me 👀. At the end of the day she can try as much as she wants, she's making a 🤡 out of herself. Maybe, just maybe, crying over spilled milk won't actually help her. If you wanna keep your stuff private you keep them out of social media, period. Not tweak here and there and then geotag/pools/ass/songs.... like? What is it that she expects out of this? 🤷🏻‍♀️

And now my fave, GF1... because I have no words for her. 😂😂😂
She's so shockingly naive and conniving at the same time that the whole thing is just LUDICROUS.
Like, what is it that she can't be even named???? Did Voldemort have a daughter and it's her?! Why is she being relegated to a single letter?! 😂😂 what's with the constant public/private/public/public/private?! What's with all the tweaking and nipping and posting deleting?
Rumor has it she's invested in Aloe Vera plantations cause those ass whoops of not being mentioned nor acknowledged by mediocre outlets won't be forgotten very soon.
I'm gonna leave too with a ss of what Instagram thought was a cool way of welcoming me back... 😂😂🤡 🤡
