“E adesso sapeva: c'erano mille e mille forme di gioia ma, in fondo, tutte si racchiudevano in una sola: quella di poter amare.
E gioia e amore erano la stessa cosa.”

How I Think The Boys Love Pt.2
Tumblr media
Paul:
Paul’s love is greedy and uncouth; he doesn’t care about people’s opinions or thoughts about his style and personality, why would he give a flying fuck about his relationships?
He loves to love, but his version of ‘love’ isn’t considered quite normal. He’s playful, his romantic relationships almost never leave the honeymoon phase. He loves the feeling of anticipation he gets whenever you do something unexpected or say something he finds cute.
He’s rather attentive, someone bothering you? He’s dealing with it as you speak! Want something outside of your price range? Don’t worry that pretty little head of your’s! He’s stealing it while you play some rigged carnie game! Paul loves to shower you with gifts, it’s his way of marking you and bragging to other people that you’re his
He’s possessive, he wants his things to not be shared, but with three other brothers and being the ‘middle child’, that means he doesn’t get much exclusivity with his possessions So the few things that he’s been able to hide away he’s deathly protective over. He’s fought tooth and nail (probably literally) over you! Why would he be willing to share whats his?
Paul’s love language is physical touch and gift-giving. He tends to love bomb without meaning to he just wanted to know that his Sugar knows he loves them.
He bites, not to draw blood necessarily, which he does on occasion, but to let you know he’s still there. He likes to nibble on the tips of your fingers, drag his teeth across your neck.
All and all he just doesn’t give a fuck, he’ll show everyone in Santa Carla that you’re his and his alone.
Marko:
Marko’s love is certainly…something. His affections are brash and rushed. Hardly anything is taken slow, so if you aren’t a slow lover he’s your best pick of a partner.
He wants everyone to know you’re his and only his. He’ll throw a shirt and a worn jacket at you and expect you to wear it, his scent heavy and a pleading look in his eyes. ( no babe, that tee totally goes with your pants! Ps, it didn’t)
He’s Italian, so you have many nicknames that roll of his silvery tongue; Cuore mia, gioia mia, cerbiatto, topolino. So many nicknames..
He loves giving you love bites, but he’s a prick and leaves them in obvious places. Thighs, neck, wrists, anywhere that can be easily forgotten about and noticed by a surf n*zi.
Marko can takes things slow some days, even an erratic shark-toothed bloodsucker like him has his days where he just needs to be grounded by the safety of your arms.
Marko doesn’t crave to control your every movement like his older brothers, he wants you to have as much freedom as you possibly can before he turns you eventually; because none of them had that option when they were changed.
He does try and get your body used to their schedule while it’s still mortal. Baby bats require training, he’ll gladly provide!
Nests in the higher parts of the cave, but only lets his brothers up there once in a blue moon, so feel free to hide up there when they get on your nerves, and trust me, they will.
You’re his muse! There’s so many pictures, paintings, sketches, etc of you laying around the cave. He wants you to remember what you look like after you turn.
Love language is word of affirmation and quality time! Sometimes Marko doesn’t like the feeling of his own skin, so you just sitting there with him and letting him vent/cry makes him fall harder for you.
He likes to hold you and smell you, he just likes your shampoo+conditioner combo.
Marko has non-verbal days, he just copes differently than some and nobody questions it, just spend some time with him and leave him alone when he needs self-care time.
A/N: So sorry for the inconsistencies in my writing schedule, I’ve been dealing with a lot family wise, nothing bad just some changes! I’ll probably end this series with Michael and Star since there’s barely any content for her outside of sisterly and platonic stuff (no hate, but she needs to reject me so i can move on)

Il primo ricordo musicale che ho è legato a George Michael.
Ho sei anni e sono nella cameretta di zio Michele, a casa di nonna. Salto e mi dimeno come solo una bambina può fare sulle note di Wake me up before you go go. Faccio la mossa di suonare la chitarra e indosso gli occhiali da vista di nonna, facendo finta che siano quelli da sole di George. Posso fare tutto questo perché sono sola. Zio è andato in bagno, nonna è in sala a cucire e mia sorella credo all’asilo. Mi vergogno di ballare davanti agli altri, ma vorrei farlo.
Immagino la felicità di poter esprimere tutta quella gioia di ballare e inventare parole senza nessuno che guarda e sfotte, perché da una bambina come me, così compita, taciturna ed educata, non ci si aspetta la vivacità degli altri bambini. A me però sarebbe piaciuto poter scatenarmi, urlare, saltare con le scarpe ai piedi e inventare le parole delle canzoni.
George Michael però l’ho sempre cantato con mio zio che cercava di insegnarmi le parole giuste da dire mentre faceva gli addominali a terra con me a tenergli le caviglie, avvicinava il suo bellissimo naso al mio ogni volta che tornava su e mi soffiava il fiato in faccia; quel fiato che sapeva sempre di buono. Mi sentivo così importante a reggergli i piedi durante quelle fatiche e così felice a cantare l’inglese in quella stanzetta di adolescente piena di dischi e di segreti, che mi commuovo ogni volta che ci penso e vorrei dirgli “zio, chiudiamoci in stanza a struppiare le canzoni di George Michael, chè abbiamo bisogno tutti e due di ricordi solo felici, senza le lacrime”.
Stasera zio, che ha soltanto 11 anni più di me, verrà a casa, come ogni lunedì da quando mia nonna se ne è andata, a respirare un po’ di tranquillità e a cercare di recuperare i cocci della vita sua che è andata in frantumi in un solo anno. Io cucinerò per lui e con fare vago metterò gli Wham!. Sai mai che si mette a terra e mi chiede ancora di reggergli i piedi per non tornare più in America.

Pop
Questa mattina, in macchina, passando sopra il fiume è partito un pezzo alla radio, il volume era basso, ho sentito una specie di piacere dondolare nel cervello e delle domande, chi è cos'è, poi ho capito, babbo ha cominciato a fischiettare e la giornata si è come aperta; risalendo verso il centro ho avuto l'impressione di "essere al mondo" e di percorrerlo in istanti di bellezza. Andavamo all'ospedale per vedere se uno di quei medici che ti accoglie come un figlio in qualunque momento fosse lì e lì era a fare un'impegnativa veloce per un controllo e sorriderti, chiederti di mamma e stringerti forte la mano. Doveva entrare in sala operatoria. Piano, piano, una cosa alla volta si può fare tutto. Now And Then. Dopo pranzo ho avuto un raptus: siliconare e stuccare tutte le parti del bagno messe male, mi è venuto in mente Michael Jackson, ho cercato fra i vinili e prima di mettermi all'opera ho piazzato sul piatto Dangerous. Brutto, brutto quanto mi è sembrato brutto. Tanto. Tornando a casa, poco fa, sempre in auto, è partita "Animal Instinct"; quando sento la sua voce, ora, mi si blocca sempre un istante il respiro. È un leggero dolore. Ho sempre ascoltato musica nella vita, ascoltata ovunque e male. Mai approfonditamente, mai tradotta, sempre mischiata ad altro e soprattutto cose di epoche antecedenti alla mia. La voce di Dolores che arriva da una finestra sopra una pizzeria nell'estate dei vent'anni, della gioia e dell'energia è, forse, l'unico ricordo forte di contemporaneità che mi porto nel cuore. Pop.

His Italian father was born in Gioia del Colle, Apulia, Italy and moved to the U.S. in the 1930s, while his American mother is of French (Breton) and Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His younger brother is actor and musician Frank Stallone.

In the 2010s, Stallone launched The Expendables films series (2010–present), in which he played the lead as the mercenary Barney Ross. In 2013, he starred in the successful Escape Plan, and acted in its sequels.

Started the morning off with only the best type of short story EVER on a Monday - “The Sequined Spector” from MIRACLES FOR MASOCHISTS by James G. Carlson and Michael R. Collins, publisher by @gloom_house_publishing It’s a fantastic mix of horror and comedy, at least this first story is, and I had so much fun reading it. It put me in the best mood to start off my day/week. I generally wait and see how my morning starts before deciding how to decorate my daily journal page. “The Sequined Spector” is referring to the ghost of Elvis Presley, so I chose my sheet music washi tape with a smaller washi of happy faces since I had so much fun reading it! Musical washi - Amazon Happy face washi - @thecoffeemonsterzco Pen: Gioia Tramonto Sano from @goldspotpens Ink: Queen And Castle from @ferriswheelpress (I’m an ambassador for FWP - use code NERDY at checkout - you get 10% off your purchase) #Journal #ReadingJournal #MiraclesAndMasochists #ShortStory #Humor #Horror #Reading #CurrentlyReading #Elvis #FountainPen #FerriTales #BestInk #MostMagicalInk #FerrisWheelPress #Gioia #GioiaTramontoSano https://www.instagram.com/p/CpK4EvALs-w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I decided to do this so welcome to me sharing low quality drawing of my oc that I did instead of sleeping
The oc in question it’s her
Tumblr media
Cinderella Giovanna (but everyone calls her Cindy)
Stand: i ship it
It has the powers tha makes fall in love two people for one week it doesn’t work on her
History: daughter of Ungalo and the one I ship him whit but I don’t want to say their name, she has three siblings an adoptive older sister named Prada, a twin brother named Michael and little brother named Peter.
All her life she grew up listening and reading fairytales and stories where at the end the protagonist end up together so when she started high school she expected to find her Prince Charming.
She’s a hopeless romantic and during her years of school she falls for countless guys but it always ends up badly
Some are simply not into her
Some don’t enjoy the same things as her
Some are too old
Some are in love whit her parents
At the end of her senior year she finally find a perfect boy that reciprocate her feelings but she still feels like something it’s wrong,
she finally the perfect man but she it doesn’t feels different from any other relationship she has whit any friends of hers
Years later she understands why she’s aegosexual/aegoromantic
Around when she’s thirty years old she gets her psychology degree and opens starts to work as a couple therapist
Where if you give her a little more money then a normal session she will give you a special medicine that will make you fall in love whit your partner for a week ;)
Sorry if this is confusing I’m not the best at sharing lore for my oc and her story it’s not even canon in my universe whit Gioia lmao
But she’s precious and I love her

Ma pochi l’hanno sospettato di essere un fine intellettuale.  John Wayne sistema il problema con Shakespeare: BANG BANG –…
