tag game
thanks @tomvorikandharry for tagging me <3
nickname: human google. beans.
height: 5’6” or 167.6 cm
last thing i googled: Александр Кутиков живет в Израиле сейчас? (i’m going to see Машина Времени in a few months, but i was curious to know if Kutikov had gotten duel citizenship like Makarevich).
song stuck in my head: keep it down by jack bruce (i bought a friend’s dad one of his solo vinyls for christmas, in addition to some lester young and paul desmond, but it started me back on a kick of listening to him).
amount of sleep: 6 hours. normal for me is 4-5.
dream job: when i finish my doctorate, i’ll be qualified to be a professor, or at least start on that track, and my advisor(s) and program have a great record of getting people into prestigious post-docs and tenure track positions. i may transition to another sector and work in a think tank/banking/foreign policy or diplomacy/etc. we’ll see how sick of academia i am 6 years from now.
wearing: blue jeans i bought from a little shop in soho a few years ago. grey mock neck and black blazer that i got vintage shopping in NYC last winter. lace up black combat-ish boots from Dune.
book/movie that summarizes me: weirdly enough, master and commander by patrick o’brian. not that i especially love that book, it’s definitely not my usual thing to read, but because of the character of queeney. as jack aubrey says of her: 
“’Conic sections and the Pentateuch came as easy as kiss my hand to her. Dear Queeney. I thought she was to be an old maid, though she was so pretty; for how could any man make up to a girl that knows Hebrew? It seemed a sad pity: anyone so sweet-tempered should have a prodigious great family of children. But, however, here she is married to the admiral, so it all ends happy ... yet, you know, he is amazingly ancient — grey-haired, rising sixty, I dare say.’” 
(every bit of that is scarily accurate, down to the hebrew (though mine is modern) and the maths). 
current favorite song: is this what you wanted by leonard cohen (1974)
aesthetic: i feel like i’m aesthetically a bit of a chameleon, in that my space is decorated in a way which totally reflects my personality and interests while the way i dress is often more conservative and toned down, though it still contains elements of my fundamental style and often depends on the occasion. (for example when i was in london last week a friend kindly took me out to a very expensive jazz club and i wore a vintage black mini dress which had lace sleeves and a lace collar and a plunging lace only back cut-out with chunky tall michael kors velvet heels i bought second hand and black nylons. not at all what i would wear day to day but reflective of how and who i wanted to be in that environment). anyway, my flat is very ‘modern day scholar inhabits 16th century persianite harem.’ all jewel tones, intricate dark wood dividers, miniatures with inscriptions from rumi, patterned textiles, etc. but also loads of books, weird little presents friends have bought me, an egon schiele print, a random fortnum and mason’s basket, a kitchen fully stocked with east asian ingredients, etc. 
fav author(s): this is a cruel question, but i’ll just pick a handful in no particular order. vladimir nabokov, joseph brodsky, saul bellow, evelyn waugh, jeet thayil, ma jian, salman rushdie, tom wolfe, t.s. eliot, sergei dovlatov, hayim nachman bialik, tomas transtromer, walker percy, milan kundera, italo calvino, hillel halkin, philip larkin, and so on. 
random fact: my 6th (or 7th, no-one in my family can actually remember) was ancient egypt themed. at my insistence. just imagine a little girl with curly pigtails beaming next to a cake in the shape of tutankhamun’s death mask and you’ve got the idea.

Slashers / Horror Villains as: Animated (Children’s) Movie Villain Songs
+ A Nightmare Before Christmas 
First of all, its mostly Disney. Second of all, I hope you know that this was a struggle for me. 
Also, note, Bubba will be the only Leatherface in this post and Billy and Stu will be the only Ghostfaces. There is Norma Bates though, so sort of a consolation. 
There are links to videos on YouTube ^^
~~~
Billy Loomis and Stu Macher / Ghostface: Playing With the Big Boy’s Now (Hotep and Huy, Prince of Egypt) 
Tumblr media
Well... they’re part of the ‘big boys’, now! They are part of the Slashers group that, uh, ‘inspired them’. Imagine instead of Egyptian Gods, they’re chanting Slasher names. 
[HUY] Pick up your silly twig, boy [HOTEP & HUY] You're playing with the big boys now! Ha ha ha ha!
[EGYPTIAN PRIESTS] By the power of Ra Mut, Nut, Khnum, Ptah Sobek, Sekhmet, Sokar, Selket Anubis, Anukis Hemsut, Tefnut, Meshkent, Mafdet... 
Chop Top and Nubbins + Bubba Sawyer / Leatherface: Kidnap Mr Sandy Claws (Lock, Shock and Barrel, Nightmare Before Christmas) 
Tumblr media
I mean... they aren't Drayton’s minions, but they are like this XD 
I say that we take a cannon, aim it at his door And then knock three times And when he answers Sandy Claws will be no more
Yes you're so stupid, think now If we blow him up to smithereens We may lose some pieces And then Jack will beat us black and green
Kidnap the Sandy Claws Tie him in a bag
Chucky / Charles Lee Ray: In The Dark Of The Night (Rasputin, Anastasia)
Tumblr media
Mystical man? Check! ‘Betrayal’ (As far as he sees it)? Check. Made them pay? Check; I think Nica, Sarah and all the other families he destroys throughout the franchise can attest to that. And ‘One little girl got away’? Well Andy isn’t a girl, but yeah. Check. 
I was once the most mystical man in all Russia When the royals betrayed me they mad a mistake My curse made each of them pay But one little girl got away Little Anya, beware Rasputin's awake
Drayton Sawyer: Don’t Fall In Love (Forte, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas) 
Tumblr media
Its such a crochety, unessessarily rude way of describing relationships to someone! I mean, I understand completely and resonate deeply with the desire to be alone and not be responsible for anyone else, but- come on! Beast doesn't share your view! Let it go! 
Its just like Drayton’s reaction to Bubba having a crush. Super cool video too! 
As soon as your heart rules your head Your life is not your own It's hell when someone's always there It's bliss to be alone
And love of any kind is bad A dog, a child, a cat They take up so much precious time Now, where's the sense in that?
Freddy Krueger: No More Mr Nice Guy (Rothbart, Swan Princess) 
Tumblr media
A man with an uncomfortable relationship with the main female character pretending to be normal and not homicidal for a while before unlocking more power and letting there inner bad guy loose and taking great pleasure in it? Sounds familiar. They also have a similar vocabulary- except of course Rothbart is rated G. 
I'll become that nasty, naughty, dirty, spiteful Wicked, wayward, way-delightful Bad guy I was born to be
Lyin' loathesome, never-tender Indiscreet repeat offender No more Mr Nice Guy That's not me 
Inkubus: The World’s Greatest Criminal Mind (Professor Rattigan, The Greatest Mouse Detective)
Tumblr media
‘Inkubus’ is literally a movie about him listing all his crimes over the centuries and messing with the police force because he has a bone to pick with a detective. Sounds pretty similar to me! Listen to the song! ^^
Now comes the real tour de force Tricky and wicked, of course! My earlier crimes were fine for their times But now that I'm at it again An even grimmer plot has been simmering In my great criminal brain! 
Jason Voorhees: Despicable Me (About Gru, Despicable Me) 
Tumblr media
I... this is all I could think of!! But the more I listen to it and read the lyrics... it f i t s Jason so well! XD Please just let this slide; I know Gru isn't really a villain but he is at the start!! Let me have this. 
Why ask why? Better yet "Why not?" Why are you marking x on that spot? Why use a blow torch isn't that hot? Why use a chainsaw? Is that all you got? Why do you like seeing people in shock? But my question to you is "Why not?" Why go to the bank and stand in line Just use a freeze gun it saves me time. I'm havin' a bad, bad day It's about time that I get my way Steam rollin' whatever I see, Huh, despicable me I'm havin' a bad, bad day If you take it personal that's okay Watch, this is so fun to see Huh, despicable me
Jennifer Check: Trust In Me (Kaa, The Jungle Book) 
Tumblr media
She’s a succubus demon. Tempting boys into a safe-feeling, docile state so she she can strike is her thing. 
Will cease to resist Just relax Be at rest Like a bird In a nest
Trust in me Just in me Shut your eyes And trust in me
Mayor Buckman and Granny Boone: Savages (Governor Ratcliffe and the Colonizer’s parts, Pocahontas) 
Tumblr media
Obviously, because of the (Inaccurate) historical relevance of both movies (Different time’s, same terrible prejudice,) and also because there is definitely a very cult-ish feel about both Governor Ratcliffe’s song and Buckman’s leadership. How easily they’re able to gather support from their people for the most horrible reasons. How horrifying it is to audiences and historians. 
They're only good when dead They're vermin, as I said And worse
They're savages! Savages!
Barely even human
Savages! Savages!
Drive them from our shore! They're not like you and me Which means they must be evil We must sound the drums of war!
Michael Myers: The Gospel Truth II (Muses about Hades, Hercules)
Tumblr media
In a Disney movie, Michael would have others sing his song about him as he goes about his silent, determined walking XD 
If there's one God you don't want to get steamed up It's Hades 'Cause he had an evil plan He ran the underworld But thought the dead were dull and uncouth He was as mean as he was ruthless And that's the gospel truth He had a plan to shake things up And that's the gospel truth
Midnight Man: Oogie Boogie’s Song (Oogie Boogie, Nightmare Before Christmas)
Tumblr media
A song about a “Gamblin’ Boogie Man” is perfect for the Midnight Man! He and Oogie could be pals. 
Woah! The sound of rollin' dice To me is music in the air 'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man Although I don't play fair It's much more fun, I must confess When lives are on the line Not mine, of course, but yours, old boy Now that'd be just fine
Norma Bates: Mother Knows Best Reprise (Mother Gothel, Tangled)
Tumblr media
Norma is soooooo so so so unbelievably manipulative towards Norman (And Dylan. It just works better on Norman) and this song absolutely presents that. She can go from sweet, loving mother to spiteful, heinous bitch in two seconds if Norman or Dylan don't do what or react the way she wants them to. 
Likes you? Please, Rapunzel, that's demented
This is why you never should have left! Dear, this whole romance that you've invented, Just proves you're too naive to be here Why would he like you? Come on now, really! Look at you, you think that he's impressed? Don't be a dummy Come with mummy
Pamela Voorhees: My Lullaby (Zira, The Lion King 2)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In a opposite approach to a villainous mother to Norma, we have Pam, who was heartbroken by the camp councillors letting her son die and vowed to get revenge. She didn't know she was teaching Jason to be the Crystal Lake killer like Zira did, but she did, and the whole song does have her kind of feel to it also. 
Sleep, my little Kovu Let your dreams take wing One day when you're big and strong You will be a kingI've been exiled, persecuted Left alone with no defense When I think of what that brute did I get a little tense But I dream a dream so pretty That I don't feel so depressed 'Cause it soothes my inner kitty And it helps me get some rest
Patrick Bateman: Cruella De Vil (Arthur, 101 Dalmations) 
Tumblr media
Never before was there a song that described audiences reaction to watching Patrick living in his daily life and hearing his thoughts better then this one. 
Cruella De Vil Cruella De Vil If she doesn't scare you No evil thing will To see her is to Take a sudden chill Cruella, Cruella De Vil
The curl of her lips The ice in her stare All innocent children Had better beware She's like a spider waiting For the kill Look out for Cruella De Vil
Pennywise (Both): You’re Only Second Rate (Jafar, Return of Jafar)
Tumblr media
Mostly for the video and Jafar’s energy in this scene actually XD So many transformations, so many tasteless puns! I was going to give this to Freddy but its the closest thing to Penny I could think of. 
Go ahead and zap me with the big surprise Snap me in a trap, cut me down to size I'll make a great escape It's just a piece of cake You're only second rate You know your hocus-pocus isn't tough enough And your mumbo-jumbo doesn't measure up Let me pontificate upon your sorry state You're only second rate
Sheriff Hoyt / Charlie Hewitt: Hellfire (Judge Claude Frollo, Hunchback of Notre Dame) 
Tumblr media
A nasty filthy man who think’s he’s in the right despite being the biggest creep and monster ever? Mhm. 
*Note: I honestly didn't notice the deformed baby, Quasimodo/Thomas link until the day after I wrote this. Don't know how I feel about it. I mean, Hoyt is actually nice, in his way, to Thomas so the connection isn't totally there but onwards:
Beata Maria You know I am a righteous man Of my virtue I am justly proud
Beata Maria You know I'm so much purer than The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd 
End of Post! 🌼
(Bonus’ under the cut) 
I did think of other connections which I obviously didnt landed on but still have merit! Here! 
Billy Loomis and Stu Macher: ‘Gaston’ was considered, but that would have just been a joke XD I don’t think Stu is quite as obsessed with Billy as LeFou is with Gaston. 
Chucky: Friends on the Other Side. Obviously! That link was actually what inspired me to make this post. In The Dark of Night fits to a T though. 
Freddy Krueger: You’re Only Second Rate! Ah, its perfectttt. But No More Mr Nice Guy fits better. If I ever do a Slashers as Disney Villains post, he’ll be Jafar for sure. Or Hades. Or Scar. Or Oogie. Probably Hades. You know what? Without the gore and blood and explicit sexual references, Freddy could be a Disney Villain himself. Its not like Disney hasn't towed the line before with perverted villains. >_> (Jafar and Frollo) 
Jason and Pamela Voorhees: Mother Knows Best! Of course. 
Jennifer Check: Love is For Peasants (Barbie Island Princess) Because Jennifer thinks like this: 
Men? <<< Literally anything else. 
Patrick Bateman: How Can I Refuse? (From Barbie Princess and the Pauper) XD If Patrick were a kids movie villain, he would totally join the ranks of corrupted usurpers pretending to be trustworthy royal advisory staff. Also ‘Let It Die’, that little interruption part of another song that O’Hare sings in the Lorax and ‘How Bad Can I be?’.

a/n I would like to sincerely apologize for not posting a fic or anything in months!! I have so many requests from June/July and I’m so sorry!  I promise I am going to try to write some more soon!! Anyways, enjoy!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We could leave the christmas lights up ‘til january
This is our place, we make the rules
You were struggling with Ethan.  You had been begging him for months to do it.  But ever since you and Ethan got your own place, he had always talked about how your home needed character.  Which is why you were trying to force him to get up now.  
“Ethan c’mon.  We have to take them down today!” You scolded while pulling Ethan’s arm, trying to get him off the couch.  
“Why can’t we leave them up?” Ethan whined, not budging from his spot.  You groaned.  
“For how much longer, Eth?” You questioned.  
“Til January,” Ethan shrugged.�� You laughed loudly, dropping his arm to cross yours across your chest.  
“It’s July, Ethan,” You pointed out.  
“We make the rules, babe,” Ethan smirked.  
You sighed and flopped back down beside your boyfriend.  
“I can’t believe you,” You mumbled out.  
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?
Ethan wasn’t always like that, though.  Before you guys had gotten close, and into a relationship, Ethan was more lowkey about expressing himself.  It was alluring, really.  He was so mysterious and closed off when you met him at the beach one night.  
“Shit, sorry,” he said.  You just laughed and shrugged.  The guy laughed awkwardly, trying to recovers from the trip he had just taken into your side.  
“It’s cool.  We haven’t even met, and you’re already falling for me,” you teased the boy in front of you.  He laughed nervously, and you were quick to notice the blush across his face.  
“Y/n,” you introduced, extending your hand out for him to shake.  
“Ethan,” the boy smiled, shaking your hand gently.  
The two of you talked for hours that night.  You watched the sunrise together.  
“Can I tell you something, but you can’t laugh at me?” Ethan asked quietly, breaking the comfortable silence that settled over the two of you.  
“Already in love with me, E?  I just met you a few hours ago,” you teased.  Ethan laughed softly.  
“Wow, you really do know everything about me now, don’t you?” Ethan joked back.  
The two of you laughed together for a moment.  
“Honestly, I feel like I’ve known you my whole life, y/n,” Ethan confessed as you settled down.  
“Ditto.” 
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?  
“Wanna hang out?” you asked Ethan through the phone.  
“I have to run errands today,” Ethan responded.  You could hear the gloom in his voice, and your shoulders slumped.  
“Can I come with?” You asked hesitantly.  You waited in silence for a few seconds.  Just as you were about to shut down your own idea, Ethan answered.  
“I’ll be there in ten.”  
So, ten minutes later, you were sitting in the passenger seat of his car on the way to the grocery store.  
You both spent an hour annoying each other and trying to embarrass the other in the store.  After nearly getting kicked out, you and Ethan were walking back to the car with a buggy full of bags.  
“Can we always be like this?  This close, I mean?” You asked.
“Always,” Ethan smiled.  
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover
You laughed quietly into Ethan’s chest as he pulled you closer.  
“Why are you laughing at me?” Ethan asked playfully.  
“When you asked me out this is not what I was expecting,” you let out between giggles.  
Ethan had finally asked you out on a date after months of flirting.  You were ecstatic when he asked, and you were sure he knew that with how quickly you answered before he even finished the question.  
Your date had started off pretty normal.  Ethan took you to dinner, then the two of you decided to skip the movie and go for a walk in the park.  What neither one of you expected was getting stuck in the piss pouring rain.  And, better yet, Ethan decided it was the perfect time for dancing.  
You couldn’t be too mad, though.  Ethan looked so young and carefree as he laughed while spinning you around in the middle of the empty park.  
And Ethan couldn’t be bothered to care that his car would be soaked, and you’d both likely end up with colds.  He couldn’t be bothered to care about those things when your cheeks flushed red as he whispered sweet compliments into your ear.  He watched in aw as you threw your head back, laughing at some stupid joke he had executed so horrendously.  
We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
“How did you manage to drag me into this?” You questioned your boyfriend as you dragged him into the kitchen away from the thumping bass in the living room.  
“What do you mean?” Ethan asked, playing dumb.  Honestly, you weren’t even sure he was playing.  
“Everybody’s drunk, E.”
“Okay?”
“How are they getting home?” 
“You really are the mom of the friend group, y/n.”
“Ethan, be serious.”
“I am.”
You huffed at the man standing in front of you.  You crossed your arms in front of your chest, causing Ethan to mock you and do the same.  
“What are we supposed to do, Ethan?” You begged for an answer.  Ethan thought for a moment.  
“They can sleep in the living room!” Ethan responded like it was some grand idea.  
“There’s no way you’re being serious,” you shook your head.  Ethan just smiled at you and nodded.  
“It’s our house.  We can let fifteen people sleep in our living room if we want,” Ethan shrugged.  You sighed.  
“You’re making the pallet.”
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all
“You can’t seriously be mad at me, babe,” Ethan laughed as you walked into your shared home.  
“This isn’t a laughing matter, Ethan,” you huffed out while kicking your shoes off at the door and flinging your purse onto the table beside the door.  
You were irritated, to say the least.  You and Ethan had decided to go to your favorite diner down the street after having a rough week at work, and the waitress was getting a little too flirty with Ethan. 
“It’s really not a big deal, honey,” Ethan reassured you as he pulled you into his chest.  
“You didn’t see the way she looked at you, E.  She was practically drooling onto my fries,” you mumbled into Ethan’s chest while wrapping your arms around him.  
“I only have eyes for you, honey.  I’ve only had eyes for you for three years,” Ethan whispered the last part into your ear softly.  
“Good, cause I want ‘em all,” you whispered back.  
“You’ll have them all,” Ethan smiled while twisting the engagement ring that had recently been slipped onto your finger by the man himself.  
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my lover
“Cam, please just let me go see him,” you had begged the older Dolan standing in front of you.  
“Y/n, I am not letting you sneak off to see, Ethan.  It’s bad luck to see your groom before the wedding.  Plus, it’s only one night.  I think you’ll survive,” Cameron teased you.  You groaned causing her to laugh at you.  
“We don’t have to tell anybody,” you huffed under your breath.  Cameron rolled her eyes and shook her head.  
You flopped onto yours and Ethan’s shared bed and sighed.  
“Cam, I’m always with him.  I miss him,” you admitted.  Your eyes had begun to water as a wave of emptiness settled over you.  It felt wrong to lay in your bed without Ethan there beside you.  The two of you truly had been connected at the hip since you met.  
“Hey, y/n, it’s okay.  It’s just one night.  Then, you’ll never have to spend another night without him,” Cam comforted you.  
“I’m such a crybaby, holy shit,” you laughed at yourself as you wiped your eyes.  
“If it makes you feel better, Gray texted me and said Ethan has been whiney all day,” Cam grinned, nudging your shoulder.  
“Can I at least call him?” you gave Cameron your best puppy dog eyes, knowing she’d cave.  
“Fine, but no FaceTime,” she groaned.  
You sat up way too fast, shaking the dizziness off as you grabbed your phone from the nightstand.  You clicked Ethan’s contact as fast as you could, and after two short rings, the call connected.  
“Oh, thank god,” Ethan sighed, “I thought I was gonna go crazy.”  
“Cam finally caved,” you giggled as Cameron rolled her eyes beside you, a soft smile resting on her lips.  In all honesty, she loved how in love you and Ethan are.  
“I was fully convinced I would murder Grayson if I didn’t talk to you tonight,” Ethan confessed.  
You laughed at Ethan.  The two of you talked for hours.  Eventually, Cameron had fallen asleep in the guest room, and you settled into Ethan’s side of the bed.  
“Can we always be this close, Ethan?” you asked, barely audible.  
“Always,” Ethan replied before telling you to sleep well.  
“Big day tomorrow,” he’d remind you, sending a smile to your face, knowing that the same time the next night you’d be Mrs. Dolan.  
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
“It’s not too late to back out,” Ethan whispered into your ear as the priest started the ceremony.  
“Ethan, don’t tell me you’re getting cold feet,” you teased back.  You could never be scared of Ethan leaving you at the altar.  The two of you had talked about marriage for years.  There’s no way you’d ever leave each other.  
“Y/n, do you take Ethan Grant Dolan to be your lawfully wedded…” the priest continued.  You smiled at the thought of spending the rest of your life with the man standing in front of you.  Ethan was grinning at you with small tears rolling down his face.  
“I do,” you whispered, only loud enough for Ethan to hear.  
“You may kiss the bride,” the priest spoke cheerfully, stepping away from you and Ethan slightly.  
Ethan quickly grabbed your face in his hands and pulled you in close.  Your hands were wrapped gently around Ethan’s wrists as he kissed you passionately.  Time seemed to stop and the loud roars were drowned out with the love coursing through you as you and Ethan kissed.  
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
You and Ethan laid in the dark in your shared bed.  It was well past 3 am, and you could feel your eyes getting heavy.  Ethan was holding your hands in his, slowly tracing shapes onto the back of your hand.  You smiled as he drew a small circle on your hand.  
“Endless.  Like my love for you,” Ethan whispered softly.  
“You’re so cheesy, E,” you smiled at him in the dark, burying your face into his shoulder and breathing him in.  
“Just don’t wanna lose you.  Don’t wanna hurt again,” Ethan mumbled.  
“Never gonna lose me, love,” you reassured Ethan while pressing slow kisses to his shoulder.  
“Promise?” Ethan asked.  
“Am I not dramatic enough for you?  Do I not express my love well enough?” you playfully teased your husband.  
“Please, you could be an actress with your theatricals,” Ethan snorted.  
“Must I shout my love for you from the rooftops?” you continued.  
“Oh, please, y/n, not again,” Ethan groaned as you pulled yourself out of Ethan’s embrace and onto your feet.  
Ethan tried to grab you, but you were too quick.  Already halfway down the hall before Ethan made his way out of your room.  
“Y/n, people are sleeping! We have neighbors!” Ethan scolded as you slipped through the guest bedroom window and heaved yourself onto the roof.  You walked cautiously, waiting for Ethan to get up there with you.  
“I am in love with Ethan Dolan!” you shouted as loud as you could.  Ethan blushed and quickly pushed his hand against your mouth.  
You watched as a light from the house across the street flickered on.  
“Oh shit,” you whispered, causing Ethan to snort.  
“Again, y/n?” your neighbor, Mrs. Dott, the sweet old lady who baked you cookies every Friday, called out to you.  You giggled softly at her teasing words.  
“Always,” you called out in response to her.  
“Young love,” you heard her mumbled faintly before turning around and going back inside.  
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover
“Ethan, it’s not gonna fit,” you huffed out.  
“You know we always make it fit,” Ethan smirked and grabbed your hips.  
“Now is not the time for your dirty jokes, Ethan,” you huffed, still trying to adjust the  Christmas tree in the corner of the living room.  
“But I love watching you blush,” Ethan teased while poking your cheeks and leaving a few kisses down your neck.  
“Not now.  We have to set everything up,” you scolded.  Ethan raised his hands in defense and helped you with the decorations.  
“Why did you wait so long to start decorating?” Ethan asked.  
“It’s a magical thing called procrastination, Ethan,” you mumbled back.  
A few days later, Grayson, Lisa, and Cameron were talking in your living room as you and Ethan quickly finished cooking dinner.  
“Dinner’s done,” you called out to the three guests with a warm smile.  You and Ethan placed the dishes on the table.  You scooted the chair beside you an inch closer and slid it out enough for Ethan to sit down.  
Ethan smiled at you and placed a kiss to your forehead while tracing a circle onto your thigh.  You smiled back at him and gestured for everyone to begin eating.  
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover

5ish Works of 2020
rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want so we can spread the love and link each other awesome works.
ad.gray’s personal pick- Ruin My Life
I was kind of burnt out on writing while working on it because I had just finished a very long story (currently not posted because I keep flipping back and forth on whether to or not) and a slightly hastily done birthday fic (The Trials and Tribulations of Birthday Presents). Surprisingly, I have no reserves? about this story. I really like the lighthearted atmosphere and the friendship being showcased. Lee Know is probably my favorite member to write for because of his banter, so this story was refreshing for me to write after writing mostly descriptions. Friends to lovers is such a fun trope, and I’m surprised this was my first one.
ad.gold’s personal pick- 42nd Moon Epilogue Dark Ver. BWAHAHAHAHA no, I am not okay. I giggle creepily every time I read this. I like how nothing wrong is explicitly stated, yet everything is very, very wrong. I may or may not have taken the ending most people wanted (I think) and thought about how to twist it into something much darker. Also, can I just give a shoutout to the person who commented “ok— wow” because thank you so much, that was exactly what I was going for. <3
ad.gray’s ad.gold pick- 42nd Moon Part 12 (End)
This was my favorite chapter in all of 42nd Moon. The atmosphere is so good. The best way to describe it would be “the calm before the storm.” The descriptions and the interspersed lines that are a significant part of the story that I can’t say what they exactly are without spoiling the ending, work so well together. I think this was a perfect ending to a very dramatic story.
ad.gold’s ad.gray pick- See You I may or may not be biased because I BLOODY LOVE CHRISTMAS. But seriously, this piece takes a mythical world and makes everything feel… normal? Like she’d present an idea I’ve never heard of before, and I’d be like “oh, totally. of course that works like that.” I especially like what she did with the mistletoe. Ish kyute. (Also I relished in the idea of making her write something based off of our infamous piece, “Stolen.” We have a complicated relationship with that thing.)
Honorable mention- Even if Things Were Different We just like the line “Love is reserved only for fairy tales, and you are no princess– you’re an heiress.” I (ad.gold) also like the development of both characters and how it’s the little moments that build trust and love between two people. To me, it feels like a refreshing cup of water. Fun fact: This story was based off a blurb I wrote in my notebook that takes place afterwards about mc having tea with other rich people who were bragging about all the expensive things their husbands bought them while she only had a pair of wooden bear earrings Jisung bought for her from some commoner place, but in the end, everyone was jealous of her because he bought it with love, not cash.

lowkey part-timer!Jisung
Tumblr media
Pairing: Yoon Jisung x Reader
Genre: Fluff, Christmas-themed, bullet-point scenario
Summary: A Christmas romance sparks between you and the cute, bubbly part-timer in your local grocery store.
Warnings: None
A/N: First story in the Christmas-themed scenarios I’m doing! I’m hoping I’ll be able to finish all of the rest 17 scenarios by Christmas!
Jisung was the cute part-timer at your local grocery store
He’s been working as the cashier in aisle 8 after he’s graduated from uni after he couldn’t find a job that pays decently
He decided to stay in his hometown, after suffering in a totally new city, and got a part-time job as a cashier that paid pretty well
You on the other hand, bought your own studio after moving out of your hometown
Your job as a photographer caused you move out and go to other places rather than your small town that always made you feel caged
You were putting together all your pictures you had taken the past week since you had to put out a new project soon
You decided to take a break and have a quick lunch then walk around to the parts of the city that you hadn’t been able to see yet
When you come out of your studio with all your necessities, you realize that a bunch of people were putting up Christmas decor and trees around their shops
It was Christmas? Already?
You celebrated Christmas, for you were a religious person, but you never got the whole holiday spirit type of thing
You didn’t really enjoy Christmas songs or the cold really
when you came out of your house you had only slipped on a thin cardigan with your camera and everything in your purse
You hated the cold
You had once been locked out of your house one winter and had to wait outside until your parents got back home from work
You were practically frozen when your dad discovered you covering your body with the welcome mat
So yah you had a trauma of the cold
You quickly take some pictures of the snow and all the people getting on ladders to decorate the light posts and rooftops
You smile at your work and skip down the sidewalk to the farther parts of town
You find yourself in front of a market which you had never seen before even when you were driving around when you first came
Maybe it was new?
You went in since you were hungry anyway and they most likely had samples
Meanwhile, Jisung was helping some of the other workers take out boxes and such, since no one was really in the lines
You were eating some of the sample dumplings when you see a chip bag fall
You’re about to pick it up when you feel more chip bags falling on you
You lift up your arms to shield yourself and let out a small shriek
You lose your balance when a heavy box falls on you
“OMG I’M SO SORRY! ARE YOU OKAY!?!? OMG OMG!”
You’re ready to give the guy a piece of your mind
But then all your thoughts are lost bc
Wow
This guy was cute
He was almost pouting while putting the bags back in the box
He noticed that you were standing back up so he quickly got up and bowed to you
“I’m so sorry….I-I didn’t see you there!”
You’re about to tell him it’s okay, but then suddenly a man who seemed like the manager came storming over
“YOON JISUNG!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? JUST BC IT’S ALMOST CHRISTMAS TIME IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD LOSE YOUR WORKING MENTALITY! YO-”
“It’s fine! It was my fault! I suddenly stepped in front of him while he was passing.”
You defend jisung and he’s actually really surprised!?!?
Bc a normal person would be complaining w/the manager
And it would end up w/jisung mopping the floors or something
Yea this wasn’t the first time jisung caused trouble lol
But here you were LYING so he wouldn’t get in trouble
The manager is left speechless bc he kinda looks down on Jisung
So he storms away annoyed
Jisung glances at his furious manager then thanks you
“This isn’t the first time this happened & i prob would’ve gotten fired. thank you so much”
You grin bc omg he was so cute?
His santa hat was about to fall off so you reach over and straighten it up
Making jisungs cheeks turn soo red you thought he was gonna burst
You leave after that whole incident and you come back a week later
You just couldn’t get jisung out of your mind
You were sorta hoping to see him somewhere around the area where you live but no luck:P
So you just decided to go to his workplace yourself
When you entered, you were really shocked bc it was reallyyyyy busy
There were so many more ppl than last time
It was prob bc Christmas was now a week away
And ppl just buy presents last minute ya know
They were also preparing more food for family&friends so yah
You grab a pack of gum and head to the shortest line which was aisle 8
You were looking at your pics that you took earlier and that’s when you hear a familiar voice greet the elderly woman in front of you
You look up w/hope that it was Jisung and boi oh boi yes it was
This time he was wearing a headband w/reindeer ears that were somehow slightly slanted
After he greets the woman in front of you goodbye he turns to you with a smile then it falters when he notices
Wow it’s that really cute girl that defended me from my devil-ish manager
You just politely smile, not knowing if he remembered you since you were irrelevant ya know
But then he totally remembers you bc
“OMG IM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN! DO YOU REMEMBER ME? AH~ AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING ME FROM GETTING FIRED!”
“......uh...no problem?”
He grins and tries to make small talk w/you which is cute aha
Even tho you’re only buying one pack of gum
He somehow takes ten minutes to scan the barcode and charge you ???
I can’t with jisung he’s such a cute, underappreciated bean
You were in the middle of a very intense convo about beavers so you decide to meet him at a nearby coffee shop on Christmas Eve (may or may not be where barista!daniel works but you should go check it out :P shameless self-promo)
Both of you forget to give ea. other your numbers
But hopefully both of you will remember about that date meeting
AND YOU DO
fate really is on your side
You enter the coffee shop at like 6pm bc you weren’t sure if you guys decided the exact time to meet
You guys didn’t lol
But ya know
Fate will bring the two of you together right?
You wait for thirty minutes, but still no Jisung
You’re starting to think that he forgot, but then remembered he had a shift that ends at 9pm
Idk how you knew that but...it works
so you decide to just sit there and sip on some drinks
you take pictures and all
You’re so immersed into taking pictures of everything around the whole shop, that you don’t notice the timid and nervous looking man entering the now, almost empty cafe
You’re frowning at the picture you just took when you feel a tap on your shoulder
You turn around to see Jisung with a sorry, but excited grin on his face
You greet him with a wide smile as he apologizes how he didn’t know what time he had to come
He starts to ramble and you shush him
Like why does this guy say ‘sorry’ so many times?
“It’s fine. We both forgot to say a time to meet up. Besides, I wasn’t here that long”
He seems a tiny bit less sorry so the two of you start the convo about the beavers again
The talk about beavers went to zoos then went to how your lives went then led to your jobs, your interests, your hobbies, what that girl was wearing, blah blah blah
You felt like you really had a connection w/jisung
The two of you, as cliche as it may sound, clicked immediately
It only felt like five minutes passed, but the coffee shop owner had to kick you guys out since it was thirty minutes past closing time
You swap numbers this time and plan to meet each other at the same place tmrw @ 7pm for the annual Christmas tree lighting at downtown
Both of you lived alone and you suggested “why not have the loners meet up on Christmas Day?”
Jisung didn’t have work and you didn’t want to stress about your projects, so the two of you had agreed
As you walk back home you cant help but feel so giddy
How was a man having this much of an effect on you?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A THING FOR HIMMMM
You smile at all the snow piling up and gape at how beautiful everything seemed
You have never felt so excited for Christmas
The next day comes by SO SLOWLYYYY
You weren’t able to sleep from the anxiousness and expectation you had for the next day so you were sorta tired
But you got dressed in simple clothing and went out for a walk and to buy Jisung a Christmas present
You didn’t know what he liked since you literally starte talking to him a wk ago
So you settle for some Christmas-themed socks, beanie, a pair of house slippers, and a gift card to the coffee shop you had been at yesterday
As you walk in and out of stores, you couldnt help but sing along to the Christmas carols that were playing
which you had never done b4
you did a double take and stopped singing, but you found urself humming along to “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”
And you also couldn’t help but oogle at all the stuffed animals that filled the walls
They were SO CUTEEE AND FLUFFYYYY
One of the stuffed ducks reminded you a lot of Jisung so you decided to buy it
You bought a lot of things, but they were all for a decent price so :))
It gets really dark really soon and it’s 6pm
ONE MORE HOUR TILL YOU MET JISUNG
You hurry back home and quickly dress in layers since it was going to be collldddd
The weather forecast said there was a 99.99999999% it was going to snow, so you couldn’t risk it
Even tho the weather forecast is always wrong
You pack your camera again bc you were planning to create a Christmas themed project nxt
As you run out the door you send Jisung a txt saying that you’ll be right there since it was five minutes till seven
When you arrive in the warm shop, your glasses immediately fog up causing you to groan
You try to fan the fog away but to no avail:)
Then you hear a big laugh and you turn to sorta make out a figure that looks like Jisung
He takes the end of his sleeve and cleans your glasses and you’re met with the brightest smile you have ever seen in your whole entire life
Maybe that’s when you fell for him
Tho it was a person you had known for a little over a week
You felt like you knew Jisung since you were a kid
He hands you a cup of peppermint hot chocolate and pulls you along to get a good view of the Christmas tree b4 too much ppl come along
You get there just in time and wait a few moments until the announcer comes out onto the podium
You and Jisung both cheer as the five minute countdown starts
The minutes go by so quickly and you jump up and down to keep yourself warm
Then you see a few snowflakes falling on Jisung
You both look up to see that ITS SNOWINGGGGGGG
The whole crowd of people ooh and ahh
And some kids squeal in glee
You softly smile and get out your camera to take a few shots of the falling snow
When you’re done there’s a minute left on the clock
You suddenly remember your present for Jisung and quickly get it out and hand it to him
“Merry Christmas!”
Jisung gasps and says ‘thank you’ in such a genuine way that it fills your heart w/pure happiness
He then shuffles around his backpack and takes out a large box that’s prob filled w/similar things as you gave him
You start to hear the announcer countdown from 10
ten
And that’s when Jisung starts to speak
“H-Hey, Y/N?”
Nine
“Hmm?”
Eight
“I know it’s been only like two weeks since we met”
Seven
But I can tell you’re such a nice person, ever since the day I first saw you”
Six
“You’re such a great person…and….uh”
You furrow your brows
What was he trying to say?
Five
“We have so many things in common than I thought we would”
Four
“I really thought i would get fired that day i dropped the chip bags on you”
You smile at the memories as the crowd gets louder and louder as the time to light the tree get closer
Three
“A-And ever since I saw you....Y/N...I uh”
You roll your eyes at his weird stalling
Two
“JISUNG! SPIT IT OUT!”
He looks at you w/wide eyes
One
“I-I LIKE YOU!”
The crowd erupts in cheers and claps w/kids screaming and laughing at the lights that shown brightly
The announcer shouts “now go home!” with a hearty laugh
Jisung stands in front of you with his hand clamped over his mouth
You stay silent and stare at him in shock
What were you supposed to say?
Sure you liked him, but you weren’t sure if you wanted to date someone you had known for a week
“T-THAT CAME OUT WRONG!”
you tilt your head in confusion
“What?”
“I don’t like you! NO NO I DO LIKE YOU! B-BUT-”
You burst out laughing at his panic
“I like you too, Jisung! But how bout having our first official date after getting to know each other a bit longer than a week?”
And the two of you stand in front of each other w/goofy smiles on your faces, in front of the glimmering, 30ft tall Christmas tree, underneath the moonlight in the gently falling snow
dang this was pretty bad lol

signed your way into my heart - jackson
Synopsis : "Before you lost your hearing, you were kind of like in my pancreas." "Pancreas? Really?" "Shh, you're ruining my deep quote. Let me rephrase. Before you lost your hearing, you were in my pancreas, now you've signed your way into my heart" A/N : This is my second fic about deafness, my other is ikon and on aff, I may post it on here though. I am fairly educated on disabilities of the senses, however if anything is offensive, please let me know. Also, the original fic was somehow deleted so this is the re-write i've done after crying a bit. I have been working on this fic for like four-ish months so please understand. It was originally taking place in the summer so at least this re-write is giving me the chance to make it more winter-y. 1,245 words
Tumblr media
    The day started off normal, good even. Yet, isn't that how every bad day starts off? You don't know it's bad until you know it's bad.     The sun screamed "Light!". The bed screamed "Stay!" and Jackson screamed "Breakfast!" It had been that way since you two moved in together. Was it cheesy? Yes. But, this was tradition for you both. The day went as the others, the sun screamed, the bed was soon to follow. However, Jackson's daily breakfast holler did not. Normally he managed to somehow stay for breakfast even if he had an early schedule. You recall him following you to bed last night, so he was certainly here, maybe he was in the restroom? You thought.     You wiped the sleep from your eyes, checking the time on your phone beside you before looking up. There Kayee stood, his lips moving with no sound escaping. They read "Breakfast is ready!", but they didn't say that. Those very lips were one of your many favourite things about him. They were your drug, sometimes they were the only reason you got through the day. Why couldn't you hear the words that normally sounded from them?     Grabbing your earbuds and putting them in your ears, you played the first song that popped up in your library. Unable to hear, you cranked the volume to the highest level. "I can't hear anything!" You said to him, he took a seat next to you on the bed. He turned to face you, this action made you happy as this meant you could read his lips. "It's probably those headphones, you've had them longer than you've known me." He said, taking them from your ears and placing them into his own. "Damn, Y/N! Are you deaf? That's so loud." He joked, but you weren't laughing. "I think so. I think I am deaf."     An awkward car ride to the hospital was soon to follow. You had dragged some snow into the car, due to not being as careful as you normally were. Jackson changed the radio station at every stoplight, you assumed he was doing so because he disliked certain Christmas songs and the stations always seemed to only play those specific songs. "Can you believe this? The same song on every station? How many people enjoy hearing 'Baby, It's Cold Outside' nine times a day?" He looked you in the eyes and huffed. "I mean I can't really hear it, but I take your word for it." "Oh shit, I'm sorry."     Jackson parked the car, holding tightly onto your hand as he pulled you into the room full of sick people. Emergency rooms have this smell, this tangy, disgusting smell. This one did as well. You didn't think anything could be worse than hearing people cough, but you were wrong. Seeing people cough and not hearing the awful hacking sounds was much, much worse. You saw masks inflate and deflate, you even saw a man with a rolling pin, no idea why, but he had one.     Kayee typed a message on his phone telling you to sit down and that he'll get you registered and do the paperwork as well. You simply nodded and went to search the crowd for an empty seat. Did someone like accidentally get too many sprinkles in their eye, because that is the only reason you can come up with for as to why two days from Christmas it was a full house.     By the time you found a spot in the corner next to an ajumma who was literally turning green by the second, Jackson was by you. "Turns out the lady at the front desk is a fan, so we can go now." He said, slowly so you could read better. You should get used to this because unless you were going to get a cochlear implant, this is what you were stuck with, even though in the future you'll try to get the implant, but Jackson would refuse because he didn't want you to lose your connection to the deaf community.     Following your lover and the nurse to the room where you would be told the worst news in your life. At least that is what you'll think for the first couple months. After awhile you will realize that being deaf is an amazing thing. You can concentrate better, ignore Bam easier, and be apart of a loving and caring community of people just like you. However, that was not where your mind was. All you could think about was the fact that your boyfriend made music for a living and you would never be able to hear it ever again. Would this be a deal breaker for Jackson? Everyone always preaches KaYee for being so kind and understanding, but that is because a situation like this has yet to occur with him.     The doctor soon confirmed your hypothesis. What you thought was just a bad cold combined with a mild flu, turned out to be a terrible, sense killing virus. Your brain was running a million miles an hour. "Here are some brochures and books you should read together in order to understand what is happening a little bit better."     The doctor handed you a stack of papers, you read the title of the first. 'How to be there for your loved one when their hearing isn't.'. You snickered and handed it to Jackson, watching him chuckle. "Are there any sign language classes we can take?" "Yes, here is a list of websites to join and classes to attend in order to find a better way to communicate with each other." The doctor handed Jackson a stack of papers this time. You didn't know why because neither of them looked at you when speaking. "Hey, if you want to dump me, you should. This is the perfect time. Don't give false hope that you're going to stay and be there for me. I get it, it'll suck. Might as well get out now, this way I can have two deals of bad news on the same day." You say and your future self wants to scold you so badly at this moment. "Baby, I'm here for you, even if your hearing isn't" He quotes and you crack up laughing.     Exiting hand in hand, just as you entered. "Merry Christmas, your present is not being able to hear for the rest of your life, enjoy." You mumbled to yourself before replying with "Oh, why thank you, I've always wanted to lose one of my senses."     Once you and KaYee got the hang of this whole sign language thing, he pulled you aside. You were just walking around Seoul, snow was falling on your hair, but you let it stay, allowing the white sparkles to live. February was the month and fourteenth was the day. You should have expected something like this to happen. Jackson got on his knee and started signing. "Before you lost your hearing, you were kind of like in my pancreas." "Pancreas? Really?" "Shh, you're ruining my deep quote. Let me rephrase. Before you lost your hearing, you were in my pancreas, now you've signed your way into my heart" "Oh my goodness."     The question was asked and the answer was simple. A hand knocking followed by another. Yes! Yes! Later, once the two of you were cozy-ed up in bed, he turned to you. "I should have said, you've signed your way into my pants."

The growing question meme game
Challenge Game with FIFTY some-odd questions- wheeeeeew! 
I was tagged by the fabulous @skyler10fic​. Thanks lovely! 
Sooooo…here we go. It’s under a keep reading link because it’s huge.
Rules: Answer all questions, add one question of your own and tag people you want to get to know
1. Coke or Pepsi: I don’t really drink either much, but I suppose when I do, it’ll be a Coke.
2. Disney or Dreamworks: Old Disney- YASSSS! I do like some Dreamworks stuff though.
3. Coffee or Tea: Both. Tea in the morning with my breakfast followed by a coffee an hour later (before work) to make me human. Sort of, But yeah, love them both.
4. Books or Movies: If we’re talking generally, it’s books. I mean, I love movies, but books are like, TREASURE. If you mean books that have been made into movies, I try to watch the movie first and then read the book so I don’t compare it. Of course, the problems sort of arise when a movie comes out of a book I already know and love.  :/
5. Windows or Mac: I’ve been using Windows for years which is probably why I’m going to say MAC. MAAAAAC! I’ve found it so much easier and far less trouble.
6. DC or Marvel: Marvel
7. Xbox or Playstation: Errrr……Nintendo 64, actually. Lol 90′s kid!
8. Dragon Age or Mass Effect: I don’t really know what that is, so…yeah.
9. Night Owl or Early Rise: Night owl. In my natural state, I do better when I stay up late and get up later (9-ish, 10 if sleepin). Of course, work and Adult Things seem to like to interfere with this.
10. Cards or Chess: I like both, but I’m better at cards. Need to work on my chess, methinks.             
11. Chocolate or Vanilla: Chooooooocolate!
12. Vans or Converse: Converse! I’m a 90′s kid and when I was in school (and even early uni) they were the in thing.
13. Lavellan, Trevelyan, Cadash or Adaar: I…don’t really know who or what what they are. Google tells me they are from Dragon Age, which I have no knowledge of, so I’ll say Adaar sounds like a great name for a city in a fic. Sooo….I pick that. (sorry to DA fans).
14. Fluff or Angst: Fluff, but I like angst that gets resolved, or is necessary to work out kinks in canon plots (cough cough GITF). 
15. Beach or Forest: Beach
16. Dogs or Cats: Dogs and cats, I like them all!
17. Clear Skies or Rain: Oh, blue sky and suuuuunshines.
18. Cooking or Eating Out: Well it depends. If someone else is cooking (like my mum or one of my friends) I totally love home-cooked food. If I’m cooking, then eat out is much safer because after Baldric I’m the worst cook EVER.
19. Spicy Food or Mild Food: In between. But It also depends what you mean by spicy. But I do like things a bit picante or flavoured. 
20. Halloween/Samhain or Solstice/Yule/Christmas: Christmas
21. Would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little too hot: er….if I have to choose then probably a little cold because I can bundle up, but if’ I’m overheated I tend to get nauseous. 
22. If you could have a superpower, what would it be? Teleportation or moving at the speed of light. Or maybe flying. I never seem to have enough time for anything so I feel like they would help a LOT.
23. Animation or Live Action: Depends, really. I enjoy both.
24. Paragon or Renegade: Er, according to who?
25. Baths or Showers: I love showers generally. I do loooooove a luxurious bath when I can get it though.
26. Team Cap or Team Iron Man: er, no clue?
27. Fantasy or Sci-Fi? Both!
28. Do you have three or four favourite quotes? If so, what are they? Oh, gosh, far too many! Here are a few.
1) “Action is eloquence.”
- Volumnia (Coriolanus, Shakespeare)
2) “The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life. You know he showed you too. That you don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand. You say no. You have the guts to do what’s right when everyone else just runs away.”
- Rose Tyler (Doctor Who, Rusell T. Davies)
3)  “This above all: to thine ownself be true. And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
- Polonius (Hamlet, Shakespeare)
4) Our doubts are traitors, And make us lose the good we oft might win, By fearing to attempt.”
- Lucio (Measure for Measure, Shakespeare)
29. YouTube or Netflix: Both. I use YouTube to listen to music more though, for stuff that isn’t on iTunes yet.
30. Harry Potter or Percy Jackson: Harry Potter
31. When You Feel Accomplished: I don’t really, to be honest. There are things I need to do and I do them. But then there are more things. And so it goes on. Obviously, it’s nice to know you’ve done something well, but I think it’s healthy to look to the next thing and keep on moving.
32. Star Wars or Star Trek: Star Wars, but I’m not a huuuuuuge fanatic. But I like it quite a lot.
33. Paperback Books or Hardback Books: Depends, but there is something so very nice about a hardback. 
34. Handwriting or Typing: I love elegant script and calligraphy. Which may be why I’m going to say typing- because my handwriting is vile.
35. Velvet or Satin: Satin
36. Video Games or Movies: Movies 
37. Would you rather be the dragon or own the dragon? I’d love to be a dragon! How awesome would that be? And if my human annoyed me I’d take them to the North Pole and leave them there for a bit to cool down. LOL.
38. Sunrise or sunset: Sunsets. Just…..gah. Yes.
39. What’s your favourite song? Argh, waaaay too many to list!
40. Horror Movies yes or no: NO WAY. Sorry but NO.
41. Long hair or short hair: I have long hair. So I guess I prefer that for myself…as for others, whatever they like!
42. Opera or Theatre: Both. I adore the Opera AND the theatre.
43. Assuming the multiverse theory is true and every story ever told has really happened somewhere, which one of the movie/book/tv show/game/etc worlds would you pick to travel to first? LOTR. I’m goin’ to see the elves, baby!
44: If you had to eat only one thing for the rest of your life what would it be? If you mean a meal, pasta. I never get sick of it no matter how much I eat it. If you mean anything at all- NUTELLA. Of course, I would die shortly after from a sugar overdose, so it would be a short life.
45: Older guys or young guys? Relationship wise? Older, I guess- but within limits. Ideal is a few years older. In fic? 10-15 year age gaps (or thereabouts) are fine provided everyone is an adult. 
46: If you could erase any show from TV history, what would it be? The New Simpsons. The old Simpsons was so clever and witty and fabulous and I feel like the new stuff is just…yeah. Sorry to any fans but that’s my choice to erase lol.
47: Singing or dancing? I enjoy both, but I’m a terrible singer. LOL. I’m a halfway decent dancer depending on what style I’m dancing. By which I mean I don’t suck utterly and completely. Unlike my singing. lol.
48: Instagram or Twitter? I don’t really use either.
49: What quote or saying do people spout but is complete BS? That cheating is normal and unavoidable and people should expect it. That it’s OK to objectify people or treat them badly because they allow it.  That ANY crime is the fault of the victim. Argh. So much BS out there. It’s simple:
1) People should respect others and treat all people as persons of dignity and worth,
2) People are responsible for their own actions.
That’s it.
50: If there was a time period that you would gladly time travel to to live or visit, what would it be?
Ancient times, to visit. I’ve love to see Ancient Egypt, and Greece and Rome and just….yeah. That’d be cool.
51: If you could take one fictional character into this world to live with you and what not, under the contingency that the movie/book/tv/game universe they came from acts as if they never existed, who would it be and why? I don’t think I could, because all of my favourite characters are central to what I read, so…..yeah. I couldn’t do that to their universe, lol.
52: What’s the story behind your tumblr account?
I got it so I could chat with the wonderful @goingtothetardis lol, shortly after I started posting fic a few months ago. She encouraged me to get on (I pretty much had no idea what it was) and it’s become a huge part of my fandom life. 
53: If you could have the clothes/fashion of any character, who would you choose? Hmmmm…. I want Della Street’s wardrobe from the Perry Mason series (the original one from the 50s, not the TV movies from the 80s). Especially from seasons 1 and 2. Just…..gaaaaaaah! those CLOTHES. I WANT!
54: (My Question)- If you could be any character in any book/play/movie/tv series, who would it be and why?
Ok, that was enormous. I’m tagging the following people but as always, feel free to ignore! No obligations!
@whoinwhoville @kelkat9 @arynrds @goingtothetardis @chocolatequeennk @lastbluetardis @promisedyouforever @ladyinari @gingergallifreyan @tenroseforeverandever

Evy | 22 Months
Keeping up with family pictures is something that I really love to do. It makes me so happy to have beautiful images of Evy and our life together. However, when you’re pregnant with a baby that is not going to survive and each day it feels like a success just to get out of bed, editing and organizing your monthly family photos just can’t happen. I hated falling behind in business but I REALLY hated falling behind on family stuff like this. I knew that it was just a season… and while I was still taking photos, I wasn’t editing them. I was just doing my best to document the happy moments when I could and I hoped that, one day, I could get caught up again.
Well, over New Years, I worked really hard and now I am completely caught up on our family photos from 2018. Not only did I edit all of our photos, I actually switched to a new gallery system that is absolutely amazing and all of my 2018 personal photos are organized by month. Not only are they organized for me, because of the way that this gallery system works, I was able to send custom gallery links to different members of my family with just their images inside… and it wasn’t any extra work. I’m seriously so relieved and thankful and excited about this new part of my workflow personally and professionally. If you are a photographer and you want to know more about this change, I may blog about it soon!
So, this is a MASSIVE blog post and if you feel like you can’t make it through all of these images and you’re wondering “Why in the world would she blog so many pictures”…. I’m doing this because it makes me happy. I love saving the story of our life online! I was doing posts like this every month when Evy was younger but today, I’m catching up from June to the end of DECEMBER! That’s half a year’s worth of memories to share!!
So what do I want to remember from this season of our life? Well, it was so joyful but also so hard. These images capture the JOY that helped us make it through our months right after losing James. We were so relieved that we had survived, but I know for me, once August hit, I felt the weight of what we lived through. The joy of Evy and Micah was the greatest gift to us. They kept us entertained and laughing! Also, seeing Evy grow and change was a reminder that we can have healthy children and it was ok to hope again.
In August, I found out that I was pregnant again. We were so thankful but we also held the hope of this pregnancy very loosely during the first trimester because we knew that my body has just been through a lot and that there is always a chance of loss. However, as we moved into October and got closer and close to the 12 week mark, we started to allow ourselves to celebrate this new baby without as much reservation. We told the world in October and we have been so thankful to have healthy, normal ultrasounds ever since.
June through December were full of new things. Evy and Micah started talking up a storm! Their personalities really let loose and they started fighting like siblings. Lots of hair pulling and biting and screaming…. but also a lot of hugging, kisses and wanting to see each other all of the time. They both started Gymnastics in September and it’s a blast! They love coloring, play dough, playing with the hose on the front porch, reading books, going on walks to see the horses and playing in the basement!!
I wish I could remember all of the hilarious things that Evy started saying from June to December  but I can at least share the things we’re loving right now! :
Evy has started speaking in sentences: “Where Momma is?” “Momma why do dat?” “I did IT!!!!”
She has started calling Micah “MiCah” and not “MiNah” this month!
She loves talking about my sister’s baby’s name who is about to be born any week now!
She’s OBSESSED with “Baby Roe”… our best friend’s little girl. She wants to hold her, put her paci in, talk to her, etc.
She is really attached to her “Mean Man” book… that’s not what it’s called. It’s just a circus book with a mean circus owner in it and so she calls it “Mean Man”!
She walks around with a tiny miniature bible that was Michael’s when he was little and loves flipping through the pages. No pictures… just text. She loves it!
She’s not a fan of Bokeh Boy because he tries to steal her “num nums” (her snacks)
She calls milk “Mulk”
She has a hilarious name for our baby boy but we’ll have to wait to share that when we share his name!
She thinks the baby is in my chest, not my belly! ha!
Evy has started singing correct melodies to songs and learning more than just the verses. She can sing almost every word to “Do Re Mi”.
She loves Sound of Music and Daniel Tiger… Baby Margaret is her favorite!
She has been getting up at 6:30 or 7am…. sometimes we get lucky and it’s 7:20!
Michael gets up with her every morning and I’m so thankful for that because sometimes, mornings aren’t my favorite in pregnancy.
She LOVES climbing steps!
She loves swinging on things!
She is FAST when she runs but right now she prefers to HOP everywhere.
She currently isn’t in the best eating phase. I’m thankful she at least still eats broccoli, chicken salad and cucumbers! Everything else is pretty basic and toddler-ish: Pasta, grilled cheese, yogurt, nuggets, peanut butter, fruit, etc.
She says all of our family names except she won’t say “GRAND-Daddy”… just “Daddy” and she calls Grammie “Bobbi”… which is her first name. We need to work on the “GR” sound!
She makes the BEST faces!!!! Cracks us up!
She sings LOUDLY!!!!! At home, in public, on airplanes, in restaurants… haha
There is so much more to these past six months but I’ll leave it here because you have about 300 images to scroll through. So embarrassing!! But I just love it!! Enjoy!
Working with Mimi in the flowerbed… Working with Grandaddy on the minivan… This is their reaction listening to Whitney Houston!  Our trip to Florida with Michael’s family! Back to the lake for the Fourth! This is proof that I got up…. I just didn’t stay up. ha! Then we headed to Wisconsin with my family!  Daddy baptized my cousins Paige and Steph in the lake and it was the sweetest day… followed by a double rainbow! My cousin Paige had TWINS! And they are identical!! Just the cutest! Evy loved them!  Oh my….. Micah and Evy with their Mimi blankets! Bahahahaha!  We got a Grover visit at the lake!!! In September, we lost Michael’s beautiful Grandma. She was 90 years old and lived such a spunky, active and joy-filled life. All of the family was together and so we took a picture of all of the boy cousins because they have a picture like this from close to two decades ago…. back when Michael was the tallest! Evy’s face…. this picture gave us all some good laughs in our family group text!  In September we also started construction on the pool! It will be ready in April and we’re so excited! This was a celebration of an amazing year in business but also, it feels like a fun things for our family to enjoy after living through the hardest year of our life.  Play dough on the porch! They call this “Bo-do”!  The Gerald twins came to visit!  That face!  Aunt Sarah’s Christmas gift from us last year was horse lessons! She’s great at it!  Also, Evy had her first close encounter with a cat and it looks like she froze!  In October we announced baby number 3. I got pregnant three months after giving birth to James which is a lot physically but I’m currently 25 weeks and feel great. We’re so thankful for another chance at having a baby boy here on earth! This was Joe’s 30th birthday at the Pumpkin Patch!  Our 8th anniversary! We may have waited 6 years to start a family, but we have sure been through a lot in these last two years when it comes to babies. So thankful for Michael and the way he has loved me through all of the different mountaintops and valleys we have walked through. Evy and Knox got to go to the Safari Park in Lexington, VA!  I promise he had a good time! ha! She hated the birds!  Their first day of Gymnastics! Best investment of the fall! They LOVE Miss Holly and they are doing different tasks every week! It never gets old to them!  I included this one because Evy looks like she needs to pee and it’s cute!  Proud mom moment. This is her face when she says “Ummmmm… no momma”. Her new best girlfriend. She is obsessed with “Baby Roe”.  This is one of my favorite pictures of the year! Halloween!!!!! That image on the left? ha!!! We just wanted one decent picture!  Thanksgiving at our house!  Playing with Sarah’s sticks!  I love these portraits so much!  No idea what’s going on here!  Evy was having a hard day. Not the biggest snow fan! We celebrated Micah’s second birthday! “Christmas” morning on the 24th!  Christmas morning at our house!
