Yayyy!

Guys, I completely forgot that yesterday was @lilcatastrophe's birthday!

You are absolutely amazing!!!! Imma make myself write something in your honor, thank you so much for being so kind and encouraging!

Have I written a birthday themed thingy yet?

(My brainstorming process is saying, 'What's a stupid thing we can do to Keith' until I have an idea.)

I love the word extravagant. Flamboyant is fun too. It sounds like flamingo.

-------------------------------

Lance is distraught.

He had been planning to throw Keith a surprise birthday party in honor of their unexpected friendship. He'll never say it aloud, but Keith might actually become a closer friend to Lance than Hunk.

It's hard to say when that started.

Maybe it was late at night in the kitchen when nightmares kept them both up, and they talked for hours just to avoid sleep.

Or it could be seeing Keith laughing on some distant planet somewhere in space, after they had pulled a prank on Shiro out of boredom. (They may have switched his shampoo out for hair dye. Shiro is still quite intimidating with a neon-pink hair floof.)

There's a million tiny moments with Keith that Lance could list, but regardless, he wants to show his appreciation towards Keith in some (extravagant) way.

However, the red paladin had pulled him aside just a couple days before to request that Lance wouldn't do anything big for him.

So now Lance is having a crisis.

Shiro is no help, he apparently finds the whole situation funny, chuckling lightly anytime Lance paces past him.

Keith’s birthday comes too soon. And all Lance has to show for it is a badly wrapped knife, some alien bananas that taste like strawberries, and a cupcake that he made under the careful guidance of Hunk.

They didn’t celebrate, Shiro respects The fact that Keith hates attention, and everyone else kind of just forgot.

Lance taps his knuckles softly to Keith’s door, and there’s a muffled clamor from inside the room before Keith comes out.

Keith scans the tanned boy in front of him wearily before asking with a raised brow, “Can I help you?”

For some reason, Lance clams up and just shoved the gifts into Keith’s face.

At some point, they’ve both ended up in Keith’s room atop his bed.

Keith’s eyes widen when he sees the gifts, and for a moment Lance is ashamed. He feels pretty shabby giving Keith such generic gifts, but his spiraling thoughts are cut off by the other paladin leaping into his arms.

“Thank you. You… I didn’t know I needed this until you gave it to me.”

For a second, Lance thinks Keith is talking about the knife, but then he notices sincere amethyst eyes trained on him.

“You always know what I need, even before I do.”

The warmth that fills Lance is like summer rain and sunsets over the glittering ocean, but more importantly, it’s being here with Keith in his arms.

He stands suddenly and grabs the cupcake before carrying Keith all the way to the observatory, ignoring any protests.

Lance loves this room becomes of its lack of walls. The whole ceiling is made of a glass dome, and the only actual wall is the one with the door.

It’s almost scary, and Lance feels almost lost surrounded by the cosmos like this.

He turns to Keith and hold the small cake up.

“Happy birthday, Love. You deserve every one of these stars and so much more.”

Keith dismisses the random pet name and curls up at Lance’s side.

“Nah. This is all I need.”

They split the cake and stare up at the stars (and Lance graciously ignores the fat, happy tears rolling down Keith’s face).

And you know what? Like this, Lance really does feel like he has absolutely everything.

You’re the greatest, Kay! Once again, have the happiest happy birthday!

top 5 f1 ships

ask me my top 5 anything

Oh man this is a very good question:

Sargebon - their dynamic insanely compels me. Especially when it comes to how visibly Logan got more and more comfortable with Alex as time went on last year

Loscar - two kids with a dream!! I am weak to childhood friends okay?

Galex - i just said childhood friends slap >:)

Pierresteban - they're French and they hate each other aka how i got introduced to Alpine at 1am. There was no other way for me to go was there

Piarles - oh look another childhood friends- I cannot fathom why. Anyway the first ship I really got into, they are special to me

Quickfire round of other ships I like very much: Estelance, Strollonso, Norrussell, Gewis, Chalex, Geochal, Liam/Logan, Liam/Yuki, I can be convinced into Landoscar at times

dando + 2? 👀

“Why are you mad?” “I’m not mad, I just think you can choose better people to kiss.”

This got way longer than I intended so I'm putting this under the cut!

List of prompts here :3

---

Daniel doesn't get Lando sometimes. Given, it's tough to adjust to new teammates. But it's been six months of being partnered up with Lando and Daniel still keeps feeling like all he does is take missteps around him.

He thought that they were getting somewhere, honestly. He's done his best. Is it jarring to not be instant friends with Lando? Yeah, fuck, he can admit that to himself.

But he thought that doing things like trying to invite him out for dinner, just—fucking, finding common ground considering that Daniel doesn't give a flying rat's ass about golf or gaming, would maybe help some.

It's bad enough that he can't get to grips with the car, and that his race engineer can barely remember his fucking name most days. he needs someone in his corner, and for some reason, his brain has decided to latch on to the one person who seems most adamant about not wanting to be his friend.

The thing is that this dinner, where he's taken Lando to one of his favorite little spots in Monaco to celebrate Lando's podium, was going along pretty nicely up until just a minute ago.

He decided early on that maybe coming out to Lando would help put him in his good graces—to show that he trusts him, to show something there was more to Daniel than just joking around and racing, maybe.

So he tells Lando a few little anecdotes about his attempts at dating since Lando asked, and he's in the middle of talking about this one guy who, well, hasn't been that great, really, but he's nice enough, even if he sometimes gives Daniel shit for his very busy schedule.

(The NDA Blake had to draw up for him had to be airtight. It was a whole thing.)

But now Lando's got this pinched expression on his face, and Daniel kind of breaks.

"Okay, Norris Lando, what gives?" Daniel finally asks.

It feels like he's about to fall apart, like every little hurt he's squirreled away inside the box in his head marked "do not open" is about to explode.

"Are you—like, is all of this making you uncomfortable? Why are you mad?” Daniel asks. He feels a little helpless, which is never a feeling he enjoys.

Lando's expression shifts, his eyebrows shooting up.

"What?"

Daniel puts his beer down, sighs, rests his forehead on his hand. he's so tired, all of a sudden. It's been a shit season, a shit year, and all he wanted to do was be Lando's fucking friend.

"You're—you're looking at me like—mate, I don't even know. You asked me about my dating life and so I decided to share it with you and now you're looking at me like I pissed in your drink, so what fucking gives? Why are you mad at me?"

Lando's face colours, and then he looks away. Daniel watches him, watches the way his breathing changes, the way the blush creeps high onto his cheeks.

“I’m not mad," Lando says quietly. He fiddles with the straw in his iced tea, already so diluted all the ice has gone. "I just think you can choose better people to kiss.”

"Oh yeah, why, are you offering?" Daniels asks before he can stop himself. He's kind of had it with Lando. Had it with the attitude and the cold shoulders and the fucking—whatever this is.

Lando looks at him sharply, then, before he frowns, and then looks away again.

"I—" he starts. He swallows. He takes a shuddering breath.

Daniel's heart hammers an entire drumbeat against his ribcage. He's not quite sure what's happening here, but his body's decided that it's high time to panic.

"Just forget about it," Lando says. "Please, can we just forget about it—"

"No, what—mate, I don't know what the fuck is going on right now, and I don't understand what you have against me, just fucking talk to me, it's all I've wanted you to do all year," Daniel finally says.

He exhales. He can't believe that this is all boiling over now.

They were supposed to be celebrating Lando's P3. Daniel swallowed his pride to take him out, instead of staying at home to mope around over his P12 finish.

And finally, Lando looks at him again and his eyes are pleading.

"I'm—I'm sorry, DR," he says quietly. "I'm sorry I've been a cunt."

Daniel lets out a little tch between his teeth. He's not exactly sure what else there is to say, after that.

"It's—you don't know how hard it is to be in your shadow, and to like you so much," Lando says. Which. What?

What the fuck?

"Like me? Coulda fooled me there, mate."

Lando's picked up the paper that his straw was sheathed in earlier and now he's twisting it over and over in his fingers like a nervous tick.

"I like you more than you can even imagine, Danny," Lando replies, his eyes downcast. "I've been trying to—fix it. Stop it. So I've just. . . sort of swung in the opposite direction to try to—" he shrugs, and Daniel's entire body feels like it's about to dissolve into ash. "To get over you. But hearing you just fucking—settling like that when—when there are so many other people who could treat you well. It just."

Lando swallows audibly, and finally looks up.

"I'd never give you shit for your busy schedule," he continues. "But then again, we'd have the same one so, it wouldn't be an issue. Y'know. In a hypothetical situation where you did actually see me as more than just—" Lando waves his hand around aimlessly in the air. "Whatever. A kid. Your teammate."

Daniel feels completely unmoored, but also like fucking laughing at the ridiculousness of this entire conversation.

"You—you're telling me you like me? Like, like that? You've spent most of this year being prickly and mean and now you're telling me you like me, and you also want me to stop seeing you like a kid?"

Lando looks so caught out at that, so shocked by it, that Daniel knows he needs to fix this before he screws up even worse.

He reaches out and takes Lando's wrist in his hands, feels the hummingbird pulse there, ten kilometers a minute. Warm, of course, just like how Daniel feels right now.

"Hey, hey," Daniel says. "Can we maybe start with friends first, and see where that takes us?"

His heart feels like a hummingbird too, now.

Lando gives him a small, hesitant smile. "You don't hate me?"

Daniel feels every tense muscle leave him.

"Of course not," Daniel replies, relief and hope blooming inside his chest now. "Couldn't even if I tried, and boy, did I try. Actually I think you were better at that than I was, by the looks of it."

Lando kicks him under the table, but Daniel barely feels it. He just grins instead, and true enough, Lando smiles back.

let’s hear about seventeen year old criminal pleeease 👀

kaaayy<3 *squishes ur cheeks* this is a silly little thing about wolfstar because i think there was a tweet with some dialouge i just found very funny (i havent worked on this in a Minute and it's only supposed to be a silly little oneshot anyways kfjsf),, so. have it<3

Remus hikes the strap of his duffle higher up on his shoulder and leans against the gruff outside of the building as the dial tone comes from his phone aggressively a fourth time. “Hey, kid,” Lyall answers breathlessly. There’s rustling against the speaker, before he continues pointedly, “Sorry for being late, we had a bit of a run in on our last round.” There’s a snort from farther away from the phone. It sounds like the person is smiling. Remus shifts his weight from one foot onto the other. “Diggory got knocked out. Had to call an ambulance,” his dad explains and Remus fails not to wince thinking about the poor trainee. Lyall goes on, audibly falling into the driver’s seat and slamming the door, “There’s currently a 17 year old boy in the back of my car that I have to run back to the station.” And, no, of course it’s not like Remus mind immediately conjures up the most vivid pictures of a handsomely disheveled, juvenile delinquent with a mean smirk and a wicked glint in his eyes and bust open knuckles and a tear or two in his shirt, jeans ripped and slung low on bone-protruding hips, dark happy trail and maybe showing the elastic of his boxer briefs and— Well, Remus has been gambling for an opportunity to bring it up to his dad casually and then sudden as anything the words are already on their way out of his mouth without his permission, “Is he cute?” There’s a long silence on the other side of the line and Remus metaphorically exits his body to throw his duffel at himself and then bash his own head against a brick wall, because who the fuck just asks things like that about a complete stranger? Weirdos. Pervs. Awkward gay seventeen year-olds who’ve procrastinated coming out to their parents for much too long and then proceed to just blurt out the dumbest shit at the most inconvenient opportunity–and over the phone, too, who does that? Remus is so stupid and it’s incredibly inappropriate and it’s a literal criminal he was asking about so what if his dad thinks it’s offensive— Some rustling before, not directly into the speaker: “Hey, my son wants to know if you're cute.”

Okay, re: your last post. I think what bugs me the most about people saying this season was “bad” or “not worth watching” simply because their ship didn’t get “endgame”. Is that it has never been what the show was about!! Like sure they use the “love triangle” for marketing but the true heart of the show is Nalini and Devi’s relationship. When I first started watching the show I was skeptical because all I had seen was the romantic aspect but the show drew me in with Devi’s relationship with her mom. (What can I say she is about girls with complicated relationships with their moms always get me). All the ever most rememberable scenes to me are ones that either feature Devi and Nalini or Devi and Dr. Ryan.

I forgot to mention this is my post yesterday but one of my favorite scene from season one is when Nalini goes and talks to Dr. Ryan. When she lets her know just how scared she is for Devi and how much she herself is struggling. That whole scene is so underrated.

Anyways, your last post was spot on and I wish more people appreciated the beauty that is the vishwakumar women’s relationships.

sorry i'm so late answering this but yes!!! this!!!! all of this!!!!! like...the romance has never been the central theme of nhie. devi's grief has. devi's relationship with nalini has. devi and nalini's combined grief, the way they heal together, the way they hurt together, the way they hurt each other because they're both in this immense pain....that's always been the cornerstone of the show. devi, then nalini. obviously i'm pleased with the endgame, more than pleased actually, but that was something i saw coming from a mile away. they made it obvious from the get-go and it just kept getting clearer and clearer each season. but devi and nalini? the ways they hurt each other and healed each other? none of that was predictable, and even if it was, it just...holds so much more emotional weight than any of the other relationships in the show. ben and devi saying "i love you" for the first time didn't make me sob my eyes out and clutch my chest and ache for my own mother.

but you know what did?

1x10: "i can't believe i said i wish you were dead. i didn't mean it." "no, no, don't apologize. sometimes i also wish i was the one who had died. i know you think that it was your father who was the only one who cared about you, but that's not true. i love you. you're my only child. you're my whole family."

2x09: "what if i forget what dad sounds like?" "you'll never forget that, kutti. your father will always be a part of you. but if you need a little help remembering, i might have something."

3x09 "what if, um...what if nobody ever loves me because i'm always too much?" "oh, devi. listen to me. you're never too much, and you're always enough. and one day, you will find someone who loves you exactly as you are, just like i do."

3x10 "i just... i need one more year with you. we don't know what's gonna happen. okay? look at dad. i just...i need more time with you. is that okay?" "yeah. it's okay, kanna."

4x10 i don't know how to pack." "well, let's just do it together then." "i don't think i can go tomorrow. you were right, i can't do anything without you." "yes, you can. you just don't have to do it right now."

there are definitely more that i'm missing but those...those are the scenes that wreck me. those are the scenes that have left me literally bawling and having to pause the show because i'm crying so hard that i can't see a damn thing. those scenes are the heart of the show. like, i'm sorry, but there are no dxtn scenes, no benvi scenes that come even close to those.

nalini and devi are at the heart of the show. they always have been. i just wish more people could see that.

#sorry im just. in my feelings about Moms right now and felt like this was a good time to answer it lol #let's pretend i'm not answering this three weeks late <3 #kay tag #asks #mutuals #nhie #devi vishwakumar #nalini vishwakumar

hello darling karf!! can I ask re nutmeg for the game?? 💖

Hello lovely Kay!! 💖

nutmeg ⇢ how’s your room/home decorated? do you have a specific theme or style going on?

My home is sort of chaos if I'm honest!! I wish we had a specific theme or style, but I think overall my place is just comfortable? I think if it was just me alone it would have a specific vibe like the places I lived in my 20s...which is to say they were full of music posters and ecclectic pieces of furniture. I live with Mr K now in a very small place, so there is a certain amount of clashing of our personal tastes (and compromise, of course). Our bathroom weirdly has a Northern Irish/Scottish theme going on, though. I sort of love it.

“George and Lando are almost always outside of the carpenter’s shop eating their breakfast before George opens the store and Lando goes off to do who knows what.”

i know this is cheating and they are a side pairing at best but honestly, i’d just love to hear a bit about norrussell please 🥹

You ask, I deliver. Also I love talking about norrussell so; norrussell in what I affectionately call not-stardew AU:

First of all the two of them + Alex grew up together!! While they probably were in different grades, Alex and George commuted from Pelican Town and Lando just got to school early and thats how they originally became friends

Lando is a rich kid of the unspecified origins variety. What does he do? What do his parents do? How does he make money? No idea. Originally I wrote him as the fisherman/guy who just knows too much about the town beach and then I realized he hates fish. So now he just gets to annoy George (affectionately)

George on the other hand grew up in the carpentry shop, before he ran it his parents ran it. He always knew he would take over the carpentry business for better and for worse

Lando had a (in hindsight) very embarrassing crush on George at one point when they were teenagers that he refuses to acknowledge most of the time. It is definitely not how he and George got together

George was oblivious about this very embarrassing crush and only learned about it way later. Its fine tho, George also did not escape an embarrassing teenage crush

They technically got together Lando's last year of school but it was a very summer romance fling sort of thing. George expected Lando to leave for university next year somewhere else and he did not want to get too broken hearted about it

At some point before Lando suggested mostly as a joke that they should run away together, George told him he was mad, Lando did the run away bit himself (moved to Pelican Town)

George was initially not the happiest about Lando moving to Pelican Town because yeah, he is happy to have Lando here and yeah, he loves Pelican Town but also; Lando grew up in a city and thrived in a city and he was scared Lando would get bored of Pelican Town very quickly

To George's surprise Lando ended up absolutely falling in love with the town and despite being a large city kid he very much ended up thriving in Pelican Town as well

Technically anyone can go to the town festivals but no one outside of Pelican Town does so Lando has never been to one. George takes the leap of faith and invites Lando to the next one after he realized that Lando is maybe there to stay

Around then they also finally get together properly

They live together in the house next to the carpenter shop and are awfully domestic about the whole thing

In sdv Robin's carpenter's shop has a little outside area. I stole that and made it a patio thing and George and Lando eat their breakfast (and lunch and dinner) when the weather permits

Mostly on their background since present-day norrussell in that au are very boring and domestic lmao. They dealt with all they drama earlier

#ask #ask game #kay tag #erika.fics #hopefully this was something you were looking for o7. i always am down to chat norrussell

[moony-t0ast]

MOM!! i impulsively decided to write you a little update before i crash because school is tiring.

firstly! i didn’t get into ece the first day, but i got into culinary theatre and psychology, which i totally intended in changing but i apparently love them?? but, i really wanted to change one of them so i could have early childhood education, so i lost culinary, which i’m okay with, cuz i lowkey hated the teacher. anyways dude the kids are so adorable i’m in love.

my psych class has a sub because our teacher quit to make an onlyfans, which we’ve confirmed cuz we found her tiktok 😜 so i have no idea who our teacher is actually gonna be, how fun. anyways, i made more friends, i didn’t get lost, and i like most of my teacher except for math and biology so i’m satisfied 🤭

YAY IM SO PROUD OF U <3333 so happy you were able to get in ece I can’t wait for you to tell me all about it!! Also that is so wild of your teacher… but hey, teachers don’t make that much, so get ur bag ig???

And that reminds me I also hated my biology teacher when I was in school. She was an evil bitch and I used to just get up and leave in the middle of class when she pissed me off (don’t follow my example, she had it out for me i swear)
