Rating Nobel Dinner outfits

I’m home sick so we’re gonna look at the most specialiest of awards shows, ie the one where a bunch of very intelligent and/or rich and/or influential and/or un/lucky people get to eat a very expensive dinner on camera. I am Swedish and obviously biased but here we go.

Warning for long post so if you’re on your PC press J to skip and if you’re on phone idk suffer or something.

Starting off with the Swedish royal house because idk they’re the hosts?

Okay they’re not but whatever.

Fun fact, I once had a teacher who worked in the castle wardrobes and the specifications about who gets to wear what and how and when is out of this world. LEFT TO RIGHT:

QUEEN SILVIA – Best part of this is the colour contrast between the purple and the baby blue. Looks kinda cheap aside from that. I am sure the lace fabric is very high in quality but my immediate reference is always going to be F21 tumblr girlies anno 2013. 4/10

CROWN PRINCESS VICTORIA – Looks like the collective American imagination of what a Crown Princess looks like so it is sort of like reviewing the concept of socks. That said, what is going on with the puckered hem? Queen also seems to have this issue. Come on. 5/10

PRINCESS CHRISTINA – Aspirational grandmother aesthetic. Cute! 6/10

PRINCESS SOFIA – Setting a standard, as it were. The high and decorated collar, the subtle quality of the material and colour, the cut of the skirt. I have some concerns about the end of the sleeves but if this was the minimum bar for royal gala wear I might be tempted by royalism. 7/10

Oh and you may notice a suspicious absence of menswear in this list and that is because those who wear anything but immaculate white tie are intensely rare.

THE NOBEL LAURATES

Ok so again with the white tie cavalcade but I want to give a shout out for laurate in medicine Svante Pääbo who 1) assumed he was gay until he met his wife and colleague Linda Vigilant and fell for her “boyish charms” before 2) proceeding to move in with her and her husband to live in some sort of throuple? Altogether, the bisexual representation we deserve.

LINDA VIGILANT – They’re a bit difficult to spot but there are DNA spirals on her shawl! Very synyhetic looking but understated colour with some lovely amber jewellery that looks excellent on her. Love the big chunky glasses. 7/10

ANNIE ERNAUX – Laurate in literature. Exactly what I think of when I think of “dignified French authoress”. 5/10

CAROLYN R. BERTOZZI – Laurate in chemistry. Very good use of two-toned fabric and sparkles. The slight pinstripe gives it something to hold onto, even if it doesn’t photograph well. 8/10

BETH PRICE – Partner of Bertozzi. First same-sex Nobel laurate partner. Can’t really see the dress but I am always biased towards black and red two-tone and she looks handsome in it. 6/10

PHAEDRIA MARIE ST. HILAIRE – Partner of Morten Meldal (laurate in chemistry). I haaaate the train. Looked super cheap in motion as well and especially when contrasted with Vigilant’s DNA spirals. 3/10

THE SWEDISH PARTY LEADERS

Head of parliament is Ulf Kristersson and he is a despicable little man, contrasted with the leader of the Liberal party Johan Pehrson, who is a despicable big man. Additionally there is Jimmy Åkesson who is leader of the Sweden Democrats and simply despicable. But he wasn’t invited so at least there is that. Sole representative of the conservatives is thus Ebba Busch:

EBBA BUSCH – Christian Democrat. Some of my friends were really into this but again with the lace fabric… I also think it is very bottom heavy and unflattering. It’s like someone mashed up a wedding dress and a Victorian mourning gown. At least the bodice is flattering. 4/10

ANNIE LÖÖF – Centre party. Obligatory green dress on a redhead. I like that it is deceptively simple, I like the train, I like the use of a visually interesting fabric but maybe it is a bit too much. Wish she would have gone with a statement necklace + more narrow sleeves. 6/10

NOOSHI DADGOSTAR – Leftist party. There is nothing revolutionary about this dress but at least it sits well on her. Next. 3/10

MAGDALENA ANDERSSON – Social Democrat. Perfectly executed simplicity. Gorgeous fabric. Flattering cut. True mother-of-the-country moment. Ulf watch your back because this is a political revenge dress. 9/10

MÄRTA STENEVI – Green party. Not visible here is the ouster shell jewellery which I LOVED. Environmentalism aside this dress fucks and I love it. The smooth upper chest area combined with the fluffy and busy skirt and sleeves? The colours? Playful and attention grabbing and sincere all at the same time. 10/10

OTHERS

RUFUS WAINWRIGHT – Musician. Perhaps the only time Wainwright will out-rockstar Kevin Shields (who is here as partner to the daughter of one of the laurates). Admittedly a bit of a walk over but I like it! 7/10

ELIN KLINGA – Actress. When contrasted with Stenevi this becomes exponentially more horrifying. @ Nobel fashion coverage please stop putting this in front of my eyes. 2/10

WHOEVER THIS IS (member of Samédiggi?) – Excellent use of gákti. Land rights for Sámi/10

PERNILLA MÅNSSON COLT – TV host. Could be the platonic ideal of a black velvet evening gown but I don’t like the fit and I don’t like the fabric. 5/10

JESSIKA GEDIN – TV host. Exemplary queering of the male white tie ensemble. Excellent nails and other details. Could only be improved by being part of a pair. 9/10

CECILIA GRALDE – TV host. Very flattering colour and looks great in motion but genuinely the toned glasses are what makes this look. The MILF of the nation. 8/10

VICTORIA DYRING – TV host. Hair buns! Though looks kinda Star Wars when combined with the wrap collar? Big fan of the well-executed one-massive-sleeve. 7/10

🖤 y’know he’s gotta💃🏾

send 🖤 and my character will answer about yours.

attractiveness:

repulsive / hideous / ugly / not attractive / unappealing / not unattractive / meh / no preference / ok / mildly attractive / nice looking / cute / adorable / attractive / pleasant on the eyes / good looking / hot / sexy / beautiful / gorgeous / hot damn / would tap that / perfect / godlike / holy fuck there are no words.

"Seriously?" She asks, irritated. "You got into this stupid game too?"

She steals the paper from his hand with a snort. Whatever. She's gonna humor him, just because she knows he won't leave her alone unless she will, and starts highlighting words with an annoyed frown on her head.

"I guess you're okay looking," she begins. "But don't make a great deal out of it. I'm just trying to be objective here."

personality:

grating / irritating / frustrating / boring / confusing at best / awkward / unreasonable / psychotic / disturbing / interesting / engaging / affectionate / aggressive / ambitious / anxious / artistic / bad tempered / bossy / charismatic / appealing / unappealing / creative / courageous / dependable / unreliable / unpredictable / predictable / devious / dim / extroverted / introverted / egotistical / gregarious / fabulous / impulsive / intelligent / sympathetic / talkative / up beat / peaceful / calming / badass / flexible.

This section is a pain. Too much in common with her Fu. Which, if one hand makes this one irritating, on the other one it also makes him interesting, as they are all traits that drew her to the previous one. But she decides to keep the qualities she admired the most to herself, only allowing a couple here.

"I guess you gotta be smart, to do whatever weird time-experimenting stuff you do," she admitted with a flat voice. "One could call it creative too. I suppose it makes you interesting, in a way," she adds with a grumble. "But boy, do you chat a lot."

how likely they would have sex with them:

not if they were the last person on earth and the world was ending / fuck no! / never / no way / not likely / not sure / indifferent / I’m asexual / maybe / probably / it depends / fairly likely / likely / yeah sure / yes / would tap that / hell yes / fuck yes! / wishing that could happen right now / as many times as possible / we are already having sex.

She turns to give Fu a deadpan glare.

"I suppose 'you gotta be kidding me' is not on the list, is it?"

Once again, the answer might have been different with the other Fu. If she had the guts to speak honestly at least.

level of friendship:

never in a million years / worst of enemies / enemies / rivals / indifferent / neutral / acquaintance / friendly toward each other / casual friends / friends / good friends / best friends / fuck buddies / bosom buddies / practically the same person / would die for them / true friends / my only friend.

"I guess I did drag you out of a couple of messy situations," she concedes. "Not sure if it's enough to call you a friend, though."

first impression of them:

i hate them so much / i don’t like them / i don’t trust them / they annoy me / they’re weird / I’m indifferent / meh / they seem alright / they’re growing on me / truce / I think I like them / I like them / I’m not sure if I trust them / I trust them / they’re cool / they’re genuine / I think we’re going to get along / I really like them / I think I’m in love / oh fuck they’re hot / I love them.

She scoffs. "I guess this comes with no surprise to you."

The reason why she found him annoying, however, might not be the one he believes.

current impression of them:

"Yep, you're still weird," she confirms with no qualms. "Although I guess you're okay. For being a chaotic offspring of the Timebreakers, that is."

She hands him the paper with an impatient frown.

"Here. Happy?" She pats her hands. "And don't bother me again for stupid stuff like this, thank you."

In honor of me coming out to my dad tomorrow uhhhhh here’s a playlist to send to a loved one you plan on coming out to (starts with information, then with advice and stories, and then good trans/non-binary representation in media) bc I’m gonna be sending this to him afterwards. Feel free to use this playlist and these resources for your own coming out if you’d like :] it’s a long list so uh scroll to the end for my final point

PFLAG (can help parents find support groups to try to cope bc this is a shift in relationship and it’s ok for them to grieve, or at least find other resources to help them to support you)

HRC Resources (this particular section debunks myths on transgender issues and popular arguments against trans people and transitioning and answering common questions about said issues)

Understanding Gender Identity (article with a long list of definitions, go through and tell them what to start with to understand you and the situation better; there’s a beginning part too, though I feel it’ll be too confusing to start them off there)

Transgender Brain and Gender Identity (article discussing some improvements in transgender research and providing hope for trans people’s future I’d think, it’s a little wordy and an excellent read methinks)

GC2B (for my AFAB friends, this is probably the highest quality chest binder you can get and wearing a thin top under or wearing it inside out should help with any sensory issues, also since it’s made by fellow trans mascs they know how to not hurt our bodies; transitional gear is an excellent way for a loved one to support you if they can afford it; DO NOT go a size too small, don’t even risk it, they don’t work the way bras do)

Transguy Supply (also for AFAB friends, this I mostly trust for packers and packing boxers, and again transitional gear is an excellent way to support you if it can be afforded; do your own research for packing so you and your loved one are on the same page or at least you’d be able to let them know)

Menstrual Boxers (last one for AFAB friends lol, specifically for y’all who menstruate; this is such a dysphoria reliever for me as it feels like men’s underwear and I don’t have to really worry about “protection” for a little while, they also have regular “girl” boxers that can help you find a middle ground of sorts with the person you’re coming out to for a bit, just to ease into it)

Bra Resource (now for my AMAB pals, unfortunately I’m not skilled here as I myself am a trans man so I want to do my best here anyway: here is an article written by a trans woman with her bra experience and has varying other articles that I’m hoping will help you and a loved one out to pick one out for you as, again, transitional gear is an amazing way to support you if they can afford this type of gesture)

Tomboy X (from compression tops to packing boxers to adaptable bras to gaffs, y’all are set to go with just about everything here they do their best to relieve everyone’s dysphoria—def look at the reviews for things for a better judgement)

TransTape (skin-safe “tape” that can be used for packing, binding, and tucking; I think binding with TT is safer than with a binder since it’s not actually compressing, don’t quote me on that though; READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before use, please don’t hurt yourself)

Reminder that while it’s not your responsibility to do all the education for them, it’s important to push them in the right direction, at least to give them reliable sources. Make sure to look at the sites, read the articles, and watch the videos either before your coming out or do this with them so you can pick and choose what you want to narrate in your own experiences. Stay cool and be safe! Feel free to reblog with other sources, tips, anything you want to add!

If it helps at all: they don’t need to fully understand, the goal is that they accept you

(Edit from the next day, 5/5/2023: everything’s good and fine and cool between us and I can only hope y’all have a similar experience <3)

Miscellaneous Media Moment

Alright so I'm watching the anime The Way of the Househusband on Netflix and writing my thoughts as I watch. This might be a tad unhinged, but here we go. As always if you liked this content feel free to be me a coffee. Also, yes, I do know that there a multiple episodes in each episode but I'm going to number them by how they're contained and labeled through Netflix as that's how I'm watching it :)

Season Two Episode One

Association fee (what association?), that's an intricately drawn tie, tulips The food!, Also Masa referring to Miku as sis is development A cat cafe, how many part-time jobs does Tatsu have?, aww the little stray and it's likeness to her late husband Typhoon croquettes, honey your raincoat camping episode, white stuff=marshmallows, banna and marshmellows sounds good, again with a cook off the crepe master and the nerd having an encounter with each other.

Season Two Episode Two

The eight dragons, love the titles he gives them Also the tea test to be undercut by the flower arrangements. Flower arrangement classes, this guy already has far too many hobbies/part-time jobs! Tatsu the tablesetter… I love how Tasu and Miku teaming up on the visit to the hospital. wow that nurse, guess that everyone is a critic. Some good points but like they’re not professionals. Haiku battle — _— dragonflies don’t flutter Blahaha the power of an iron. Witch Shot Awww Miku being Tatsu’s strong woman Poor Masa,

Season Two Episode Three

Sibling Rivalry and Food Truck Rivalry and Minor Tora Lore Drop Such drama over donuts Gin’s first snow aww Its too slippery, have you not heard of snowsalt? The igloo! Dried chilli powder for popcorn!? Tatsu, Miku, and Masa geeking out over their niche fandoms. The Lion Queen, really LOL The police gaining a hamster, at least they didn’t get hurt this time One with nature huh Yes ladies they are morons Coffee yes so good, very relatable What is this bad luck streak?

Season Two Episode Four

I love Masa’s blue golf outfit!! A dagger’s length apart, lol What is this opening, ah its gardening They’re plants they’re not going anywhere On the other hand…Monkeys. I almost expected for them to beat poor Masa up Humans can eat bamboo, huh learn something new everyday I guess Countering spice with rice, huh the geek liked it… Tatsu doing a house inspection on Masa lol cute wreaths okaaay. avender, cypress, and peppermint. Yesss. Poor Masa Needle felting. dude someone, not me, needs to make a list of all the hobbies this guy does Oh, Cat Adventure!! Yeah cats bite, not usually that hard are we saying the cat has powerful bite or geek has weak constitution…hrmm

Season Two Episode Five

Oh Miku Lore Drop!?! Oh, ghost story episode must be for around Halloween Time I’m calling it that Tatsu is going to be the best story. Uh, wait a curse and crabs? Oh a shopping horror and forgotten food No one is good at ghost stories, got it Ok, red eyes to emphasize this kid’s creepy is a nice touch, what was that carrot story?? Yes, where gardening gloves people… weeds WILL slice up your hands Yes Vinegar stinks…Also that info dump on apple vinegar Yep these two will fight over anything, its how they show their affection apparently Love how the kids are wondering how the adults have so much energy and not vice versa Shop Locally if you can people it keeps small shops open, also if Tatsu says they’re quality knives I believe it. Of course Miku would notice the sweater lol Poor Gin

I love that Han sohee is in the mv too. I first heard of her when the news that nevertheless was going to be released as a k-drama. I actually read the WEBTOON. I loved her acting, it’s no surprise tho that the WEBTOON was better. It’s the same with all other works. It’s initial format works best.

Well in my life, a couple projects I’m working on are really making progress. Focusing on classes that I’m taking as extra in the summer has been hard, but I’m persistent to get it completed. I recently took this 4 week finance and accounting course that finished yesterday. It was pleasantly rewarding and interesting to take. There were a couple opportunities for me to talk to the professor, and I enjoyed asking questions. I always ask questions these days. I think I’m more out of my shell in the classroom or situations about learning. It made me be curious in the classroom about a new subject that I haven’t focused on before. Other than that, I found that put a bit of oil on my hair 20 mins before showering changes everything. Like my hair is so smooth and silky now, even my scalp feels different. So I’ve been using that. It’s really hot where I am so I’m staying inside a lot more. I found a new hobby of having a singing/dancing contest alone in my bedroom whenever I have some free time to relax. It’s stressing relieving and I highly recommend. I’m planning a trip with my parents, I’m excited since I haven’t traveled or been with them like this in a long time. Overall life’s been busy, with many ups and downs. I’ve been making discoveries, learning and working hard!!! Best of luck with your job hunt! You’ve been working hard, and I hope you can unwind and relax as well!

Sending love ❤️

-🫧

Note to self: add nevertheless to watch list and read list

I’m so proud holy wow!????? Summer classes and finance and accounting?? You’re literally so smart I could never. My anti math brain would be DYING so way to go you dude!! That’s amazing!! Persistency pays off!

I’m going to tell that oil tip to my friend! She struggles a lot with her hair so maybe that will help!! Thank you! And I’m glad it’s working so well for you!!

A singing dance party sounds like a blast! I sing and dance horribly all the time but I love it so I don’t stop. I’m sure my partners sick and tired of my dying cat voice but he can deal cuz it makes me happy.

Oh ok so jealous!! I haven’t travelled in like 8 years and I miss it. I used to ALL the time but life is life, ups and downs as you said. So please have SO MUCH FUN!! And if you ever wanna let me know where you ended up going I’d love to hear all about it!!

I’m trying my best with the job hunt! And resting! I just had a week long vacation and it didn’t feel nearly long enough but I’m already back on the grind! Here’s hoping I can knock the books out quickly and get back to writing (I’m a project at a time person cuz I’m quality of quantity) and get chapter 5 out. I’m excited for it!

Sending love right back!!!!!

#i adore you #i love life updates from my friends #it’s awesome #asks #🫧#phtharctic-fox #ms.mailbox📬

HI THERE I SAW YOUR TAGS FREAKING OUT ABOUT ELBOW ON MY GERASKIER PLAYLISTS AND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

little fictions is the only album I know by heart cover to cover, but I certainly enjoy the others!

SERIOUSLY THOUGH

WHENEVER I SEND ANYONE AN ELBOW SONG REC IN THE CONTEXT OF A CHARACTER THEY ALWAYS SAY THEYD NEVER CONSIDERED IT BEFORE AND I HONESTLY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME HAVING A NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS MOMENT

you’ve made my day

holyyyyyy shittt im so sorry i didn’t see this before but it’s only *checks watch* well over a month late !! (sorry.) but yEA my mancunian friend introduced lil american me to elbow and theyve topped my spotify wrapped (yes even above tad) the past two years lol their stuff means a lot to me and is also So Good

but fs like. again i would Not ever insinuate that elbow is Niche or Unpopular—literally played the olympics etc etc—but i do think that they aren’t necessarily in The Minds Of Fandom™️ very much. but MAN they have such a great discography and sm good songs it’s like *makes aggressive grabby claws at the air* so much potential!!!! overlooked!! unseen!! (yes i’m being dramatic. not sorry)

anyways if anyone who sees this listens to elbow PLEASE hmu i love talking abt elbow songs

aaaaannndd uuuhhhhh 👉🏽👈🏽 hopefully not beign too pushy but uhhh. if anyone here wants some fandom related recs……. i’ll just throw out a couple so i’m not being Too Much but:

hotel istanbul [listed as a non-album track under the seldom seen kid (bonus tracks version) album on spotify] - oh my god if anyone listens to One [1] song i write here PLEASE let it be this one. every time i scroll through geraskier playlists and don’t see this song i feel Robbed. to me it feels sooooo them but no one else knows about it and i lose my mind. idk if musically it fits everyone’s vibe check but Lyrically. holy fuck holy shit. like to my understanding it’s abt a guy who’s havin a shite day but this other person’s presence makes them feel better or smthn??? anyways it’s fuckinnnn haaghhh i’m- it literally goes “damn your eyes / so blue” LIKE????? i lose my mind over this song in geraskier context every time someone Please listen to it and tell me if i’m going insane or not

puncture repair [under leaders of the free world album] - man i love this lil guy sm. diff energy from hotel istanbul but i see this one as the quieter geraskier moments, the travelling together for 20 years. it’s so quiet, it’s so routine, it’s motions that are muscle memory, it’s care etched in creases, it’s thoughts traced through nerves for the thousandth time. also works from either pov i think

bones of you [under the seldom seen kid album] - i think?? this could be a yennefer song??? either abt istredd or just like her past life. also sonically i rlly like the vibe for her, dunno if anyone else’d agree w that tho

audience with the pope [under the seldom seen kid album] - ok honestly i dont know if this one’s very accurate since i wouldnt call myself an arbiter of quality yen&geralt vibes, but i do think of them when i listen to this song so,,? do with that what u will

anyway i have oodles and oodles of these but these ones that r like, supported lyrically the best ig??? sorta?? maybe not but yea ive got elbow-witcher song thoughts for Days but the other ones are maybe more vibes-based so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but if anyone’s intrigued…… i mean hmu

#witcherteevee #elbow music #this IS listen to elbow propaganda btw. unashamedly #it’s funny bc like. i listen to all the elbow albums i kinda just sometimes pick one to play off of whatever mood im in etc etc #but since they have like sm songs n albums and stuff #it was rlly funny to see my spotify wrapped songs/artists distribution #i was telling my friend who intro’d me to them that my highest elbow song was seven veils at like 22 or thereabouts #(i had like two or three tad songs top 5)#and they were like: ah. fair enough #then i dropped that ‘aND IM A TOP .005% ELBOW LISTENER AGAIN LETS GOOO-’#the individual song distribution is not the highest but with all of it combined… mwah #it’s simply bc they have too many good songs i must spread the love to all the albums

Best of 2022 K-Pop🏹

This year’s kpop releases have been VERY hit or miss (emphasis on the miss) for me this year but I still managed to scrape together a list of very great songs that came out and that I thoroughly enjoyed. These aren’t all of the releases I liked this year, but they are the best of them.

WHEN I MOVE - KARA

Several 2nd Gen girl groups have made their long awaited comebacks this year, and this was simply the best one (and this is coming from a Girls’ Generation supremacist). The song and music video are so glam, although that rap is definitely a blemish on this otherwise amazing song. They even managed to be one of the very few kpop groups to utilize an antidrop without it disappointing me.

BEAUTY INSIDE - NINE.I

A new token 4th gen group to add to my like list! Beauty Inside is another well done antidrop and has such pretty production. I can see this song aging very well and being very nostalgic for me in the future.

Heart Burn - Sunmi

This is quality FAWKING music! I never thought that we’d see Sunmi being in her Fleetwood Mac era, but here we are, and I couldn’t be happier. Also the visuals of this era were utterly GORGEOUS!

INVU - Taeyeon

Not everyone is intelligent enough to see the beauty in this song, but I am☝️ It’s just a very pretty and atmospheric song with beautiful vocals and production. What is there not to like?

Dilemma - APink

I genuinely don’t get why so many people hate the chorus because I love it, especially the horn! I think the horn is very pretty. This is mermaid music from beginning to end so I am disappointed that the music video didn’t have them as mermaids or something, but I’ve coped and moved on.

Don’t Stop - ATEEZ

This song was way too good to just be a random little single, especially considering the fact that it’s better than any of the other songs ATEEZ has released this year (other than Cyberpunk). It really exemplifies the strengths of ATEEZ’s music; the well utilized adlibs and vocal layering, production that has a lot going on without crossing into obnoxious territory, and an insanely catchy chorus.

O - VERIVERY

The guitar and melody and production overall of this song are just intoxicating. Also, I’m pissed no one told me that VERIVERY has some GOOD ass music. For years I just brushed them off as just another 4th gen boy group, but no, they have a very great catalogue that I highly recommended everyone check out. Especially their song From Now.

ParadoXXX Invasion - ENHYPEN

Ok so the rest of this list isn’t ordered, but these last two entries are in fact my top two favorite songs of the year. THIS IS WHAT REAL BOY GROUP MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE! I can’t get over how much I love this song from beginning to end. I even love the music video and choreography to death too. I haven’t been this excited about a group release since I don’t know when. Enhypen has very quickly become my second favorite 4th generation group after ATEEZ. They’re hitmakers, I tell you☝️

Brand New - Xiumin

Brand New is easily the most kpopiest kpop song we’ve gotten in a LONG LONG time. As an EXO-L, I suppose I am very biased, but I think even if I wasn’t one, I’d still think this was the best release. It’s pure effervescent fun! I listen to it on loop all of the time even though it’s been out for 3 months now. Xiumin really did what he had to do and I couldn’t be more grateful.

#kpop #ateez #kara #nine.i #taeyeon #sunmi #verivery #xiumin #enhypen #apink

|| haikyuu boys finding you asleep on the couch after an argument ||

includes: kuroo tetsurou, miya osamu, & oikawa tooru

a/n- hello! sorry for posting so late, but this has been sitting in my drafts for a while and i was actually in the mood to finish it so i hope yall enjoy! oh and im not really sure about how i feel about it,,, might take it down later we shall see.

warnings: none ( lmk if there’s anything! )

KUROO -

last night you saw a post kuroo’s “work wife” had made on instagram with her kissing him on the cheek, and it didn’t make you feel the best, so you decided to bring it up to him the next morning. and you did, just as he was getting ready for work you talked to him about it.

you were standing in front of him filled with anger arguing about how it made you uncomfortable, “can you please listen?! i dont feel comfortable with your “work wife” kissing you?” you yelled. “Y/N it was on the cheek its not a big deal!” and to be honest you just wanted to cry.

finally, he walked past you and opened the door. “i don’t have time for this y/n, stop being so insecure! at least she wouldn’t argue over something so small!” and with that, he slammed the door and you stood there stunned. kuroo knew that he shouldn’t have said that, instant regret and guilt filled his gut.

but he already said it, he can’t do anything about it now. with a frustrated sigh, he went to work. hoping to fix everything when he gets home. you stood there speechless, as you realized you still had work so slowly you made your way to the bathroom.

after getting ready and grabbing a quick snack you were out the door with a heavy chest. once you get home, tired and feeling worse than before. you trudged to the couch and plopped down letting out a shaky sigh remembering the argument and the words he said repeating in your head.

you broke down crying, and before you knew it, the exhaustion from today took over and you were sound asleep on the couch. kuroo got home an hour later, he felt guilty and was already practicing how he’d apologize to you as he walked in.“y/n? kitten?” no answer.

he called out again, and was met with silence, he made his way over to the living room where he found you sleeping on the couch. gently walking towards you he knelt down, and saw your tear-stained face which made his heart sink. “i fucked up” he said to himself.

giving you a gentle kiss on your forehead he softly apologized and carried you to the bedroom. you ended up waking up when you felt his body weight dent the bed. “tetsu?” you said softly squinting at him. relief rushes through his body at the sound of his nickname. looking at you with guilt in his eyes

“im so sorry kitten, i shouldn’t have said that. i didn’t mean to hurt you” he said gently. at that tears started flowing again and he was quick to hug you and wipe your tears with his other hand. “it’s ok, i shouldn’t have been so insecure anyways”

he shook his head with a frown “no it’s not your fault ok? i didn’t mean anything i said. i love you so so much and i’m so lucky that you’re mine” you look up at him and gave him a small smile “okay” before cuddling closer to him. giving you a soft kiss on the lips he hugged you tighter as you both fell asleep.

OSAMU -

osamu was just having a horrible day, his head was pounding and the customers he had to deal with today were just plain rude. then he had to do most of the work since one of his employees called in sick, and for some reason, everything just annoyed him.

you on the other hand did not know about his day at all and thought it would be nice of you to make a surprise visit. walking in with a huge smile on your face stopping midway when you realize he wasn’t at the counter. “where’s samu?” you asked sweetly to the employee

“he’s in the back, i think he has a headache,” she says giving you a small smile. you can tell something was off by the way she spoke but decided to just brush it off and make your way to the back. “hi samu! surprise!” you exclaimed cheerfully as you make your way towards him

he just kind of looks at you, which you thought was weird, but you decided to hug him anyways. when he doesn’t hug you back and groan, you pull away and look at him “baby i heard you had a headache. i didn’t bring any medicine, but we could eat first and i-”

you couldn’t even finish your sentence since osamu just stood up. he was infuriated and had no clue why, usually loved listening to you but today he was just annoyed. “look y/n a don’t mean ta be rude, but a don't have the energy for this right now. please just go home.” he said coldly staring right at you.

“excuse me? i came here to surprise you and this is what i get??” you said in shock, voice a little louder this time. rolling his eyes “Oh wow am so surprised! now will ya please go home? a don’t wanna argue right now!” he yelled. with tears forming in your eyes you quickly wiped them and left. osamu knew he shouldn’t have said all that, but he was too mad to run after you in front of all the customers.

you rushed home and sluggishly made your way to your room to change into something comfier, making your way to the couch, curling up into a ball allowing your tears to fall, and somehow falling asleep, after getting tired of crying. he gets home a few hours later, guilt building up in his stomach as he mentally slaps himself for the things he said.

walking into the living room he opened the lights and you were the first thing he noticed. seeing you curled up into a ball on the couch made his heart drop to his stomach. you on the other hand woke up because of the sudden change of lighting.

gradually adjusting your sight you see him and switch your gaze onto the floor when you saw him look at you too. seeing your puffy eyes he walks towards you slowly and sits beside you giving you enough space. “am sorry, a shouldn’t have taken my frustration out on ya.”

you look at him with watery eyes and his heart sinks “yea i was just trying to be nice, sorry i didn’t warn you before coming” he opened his arms and you instinctively scooted closer to him, he sighs “no a love it when you surprise me a was jus having a bad day a love ya so much ok?” finally hugging him “okay i love you too” giving you a quick kiss he offered to make you food and of course you said yes.

OIKAWA -

you love oikawa, and you’re very supportive and understanding especially when it comes to his career. but he has an awful habit of overworking himself and as much as you love him you can't bear the fact that you couldn’t even see him anymore.

he goes home late at night -as in you’re already sound asleep late- and when you do stay up to see him, he’s too tired to even keep a conversation. then the next morning he’s gone before you could even wake up. you’ve spoken to him about this many times, but alas nothing changed.

you woke up to an empty bed as usual, but today was different though, you’ve planned a dinner for about 2 weeks now. you were very excited because it’s been so long since you both spent some quality time together and he promised to come home early.

getting up you send him a little text reminding him of your dinner tonight, with a smile you head on over to the bathroom to get ready for work. once work was over you made a quick visit to the grocery store to buy the ingredients you’ll need to make tonight’s dinner.

quietly humming to yourself while going through each aisle, and double-checking your list to make sure you’re not missing anything while checking your phone here and there. oikawa still hasn’t replied “he must be busy,” you say to yourself as you send him another text about the dinner just in case. after about 30 minutes you get home rushing since it was already late, and immediately getting started on dinner.

once you're done you sat down and waited, and waited, and waited. it's been 4 hours. dinners cold and still no sign of your boyfriend. you decided to call him pissed off that he couldn’t even show up to one dinner, “hello? y/n i can't talk right now i still need to practice”

he said as soon as he picked up. “tooru? did you get my texts? what about dinner, we’ve made plans for this 2 weeks prior! i even-” you were cut off “look just eat without me ok? we can eat again somet-” now it was your turn to cut him off.

“oikawa tooru, you leave the house while i’m asleep and come back when i'm asleep. i just wanted to spend time with you..whatever good luck at practice,” you replied as you hang up. his heart sank when he heard the crack in your voice rushing to his car on his way home to you because he knows he fucked up.

buying your favorite flowers for you on the way home cursing himself and the world for making it traffic at that exact moment. when he got home the first thing he saw was the food and you fast asleep on the couch. he felt a pang of guilt about being late.

“y/n chan?” he said while gently waking you up. you stare at him with red puffy eyes and he hugged you giving you the flowers “im sorry baby, i should’ve prioritized you and our dinner. i promise ill do better” you saw how genuine he was being so you accepted the flowers and hugged him tighter as he offered to reheat the food you made.

reblogs are highly appreciated!

e-girls and boys: litg edition

sooooo, i was going through my docs with absolutely no intention of finishing up anything and i realized i wrote a post about e-boys and e-girls and who would be down for it back in like APRIL 30th LAST YEAR! at least that was the last time i updated it ???

a year ago i wrote it and completely missed the posting??? 'cause i can't find it anywhere so i'm not sure if i posted or not. alas, here it is! (i have no clue what hit me because i made it for every season ?????)

wouldn’t mind makeup/nails/earrings, even though there could be some apprehension at first:

ꗃꗃ noah. actually excited to see himself in the mirror after almost dozing off while you put makeup on him. ah, he’s so sweet 🥺. and like... i don’t doubt noah’s makeup would be the blush look, usually applied on girls. i just think he would be neat enough to say “go for it!” and actually have some fun and video call his siblings to show up your work.

ꗃꗃ carl. probably being persuaded because you’re bored and in need of entertainment. he definitely thinks he’s too old for the trend, but still gets curious about how he would look. and i may add here, he would look exquisite, ok?? those bags under his eyes are perfect for an e-boy look! and i do think eventually he would be down for the e-girl shebang too.

ꗃꗃ mason, ciaran and nicky: just incredibly down for whatever, and i don’t see these boys as the type to refuse a good time, whatever it is. it’s all in good fun! nicky as a *clears throat with annoyance* friend... argh, would let you go to town on his face with whatever you want to smudge on his complexion. i said what i said.

much more under the cut

makeup/accessories/stripes shirts/cuffed jeans:

ꗃꗃ bobby. I MEAN... IS THERE ANYONE DARING TO DISAGREE WITH ME? yeah, didn’t think so. either look, e-boy or girl, he would pull off the blush quite well and i don’t take criticism at this time, thank you.

ꗃꗃ chelsea. SHE WOULD LOOK SO FUCKING CUTE AND I MUST PROTECT!!!!

ꗃꗃ tim. he deserves a special list, even if he’s from season 1. listen, short king is down for whatever, and after his ultimate wrestler look, i doubt he wouldn’t go with it, possibly choosing the looks that have stars/fruits on it, the ones you draw them over your blushed area, being the chosen e-girl vibe. i really think he would look really cute too!

ꗃꗃ jen and erikah are in the same category and possibly doing each other’s makeup for a video on jen’s channel.

ꗃꗃ elladine and genevieve are also eager to make it happen, wondering if they could make it work. definitely for the fun of it and to spend some quality time among friends.

ꗃꗃ yasmin. always into the idea of spending time with her girlfriend this way.

reluctantly letting their girlfriends do their makeup, but once they see themselves in the mirror they might down for the outfits and accessories:

ꗃꗃ kassam. ABSOLUTELY GRUMPY and with his arms folded on his chest, trying to hum to some song is on, but he’s definitely irritated. thing is, i would love to see kassam in this style! he would look amazing with dark nail polish and some earrings, besides the bags under his eyes. i can’t help being attracted to railed looking boys!

ꗃꗃ lottie. “it’s SO MUCH BLUSH, BABE!” but once she sees how she pulls it off, possibly adding a purple/lavender highlight, she’ll be down for the rest. the outfit might be either too baggy or too “childish” for her, given she loves lace and leather, but i still think she would go for it, to please her partner, possibly liking the energy she gives.

ꗃꗃ seb. yep. as my best friend i must say, i would make his life hell until he said yes. only to see how cute he would look. we already know he looks *exquisite* with eyeliner, and i would absolutely melt once he had the dark nails and dark cuffed jeans. he’s practically an e-boy already. what’s a little

ꗃꗃ elisa. i really don’t think this is her vibe, but if i’m honest i can see her coming around once she sees the blush and highlights, besides the freckles... and i’m a simp for a girl in stripes, so like... yeah! elisa would look amazing!

reluctantly letting the makeup happen, grumpily saying things while we blush them up, absolutely “no!” to outfits, accessories or nails:

ꗃꗃ lucas and priya would argue they’re too old for anything else besides the makeup, as much as we would prove them wrong.

ꗃꗃ rahim and marisol are just not into it. they might be down for other trends, but this one is just... “too out there for me, babe.”

ꗃꗃ talia and harry. yeah, definitely not. talia doesn’t care for fluffy looks and i don’t think harry is really into trends, at all. unless is to privately fluster his partner, he’s not into it.

“YES! DO THE WHOLE THING!” excitedly down for the whole thing: nails, wigs, outfits, makeup:

ꗃꗃ henrik. HAHAHAHAHA. I DARE YOU SAYING HE WOULDN’T LOOK ABSOLUTELY SHINY AND EXCITED! and there’s a drawing of a e-boy henrik floating somewhere, i just couldn’t find it! but i really think he would look precious in peach blush with freckles and possibly different colored strands on his hair, like... I’M BEGGING FOR IT TO HAPPEN!

ꗃꗃ aj. yes! she would be thinking she can’t possibly pull it off, but it’s a resounding “yes” to her partner when proposed. aj is also very blushy and you can have a notion of how she would look, so that’s already halfway.

ꗃꗃ sammi. she’s up for everything, and she must be protected. with that being said, i wish we could have a makeup session with her, possibly giving her this fun look. she would be so excited too! 🥺

ꗃꗃ miki. she’s so up for fun looks that this would possibly be the most viewed video on her channel, if she hadn’t done it yet, she would be ecstatic to do it so!

“DO THE WHOLE THING, I WANNA LOOK LIKE RICK MAGAREY!!”

ꗃꗃ gary and tai. i really won’t take criticism on this one. if you don’t know, here it is rick magarey. you cannot tell me tai wouldn’t have the time of his life looking like that while gary would go bananas over the look just to impersonate this legend, jumping around and singing to their best capability. they’re both massive and very in touch with their fun side at all times. this wouldn’t be a problem!

“NO.”:

everyone else. hope, jakub, shannon, blake, jo, arjun, elijah, felix, jasper, miles, reese, iona, levi, lucy, cherry, rafi, lily, and i’m sorry to inform, jake wilson. most of them would say how it’s too childish for them, and not even give it a try. which is sad because i love to put makeup on my partners :/

Hinge: Thanksgiving in Valtoria Part 1

Series: Hinge.

Fandom: The Royal Romance/The Royal Heir

Pairings: Drake x Riley x Liam

Rating: Some chapters may be M, NSFW

Warnings: some chapters may portray sexual situations, language, mature themes

A/N2: This is mostly fluff, sex is alluded to. This takes place after the evens of TRH3 but before TRF. Princess Eleanor is two years old. In this series, Riley is in a polyamorous relationship with both Liam and Drake.

A/N: See author's note on Polyamory and more.

Everything else: Master List.

Drake blinked in the dark, wondering what had just woken him up. He glanced toward the window where the faint light of dawn had barely started to filter in. The soft sound of rhythmic breathing drifted up to him from the woman he held in his arms. She scooted back against him, snuggling further into his warmth. He tightened his arms around her and was about to try to fall back asleep when a soft, shuffling sound caught his attention. He peered into the darkness.

“Li? You’re back early.” He sat up, pulling away from Riley who shifted in her sleep but didn’t wake up.

“I know, I didn’t want to miss dinner tonight. I know how much it means to Riley.”

Drake rolled out of the massive double king bed and pulled on a pair of sweatpants that were laying on the floor where they had been heedlessly tossed the night before.

“She’ll be so happy you made it!” He pulled the other man into a tight hug. It was a closer hug than either of them would have been comfortable with three years before. But they were closer now.

After everything they had been through, growing up and coming of age together, helping each other through the grief of their respective parents’ deaths, being the sounding board for each other through a million life decisions, being each other’s closest confidant and best friend since childhood, it had not seemed possible that they could have ever grown any closer. They had already been as close as either of them thought they could be to another man. But they had both been wrong.

Having had sex with the same woman, occasionally at the same time, had long since put an end to any feelings of awkwardness at expressing physical affection for each other. They had both loved her, fought for her, held her when she cried, and both had held her hand while she gave birth. Loving the same woman had been awkward at first, but in the end, it had drawn them closer not just to her, but to each other as well.

“It’s early, Li, do you need to sleep?” Drake gestured toward the bed as he pulled a t-shirt over his head.

Liam shook his head, “No, I slept plenty on the jet. What I want, what I need, is to spend some quality time with my wife!”

Drake nodded in understanding. Liam had been gone for almost two weeks. Drake honestly didn’t know how he did it, if he had to be away from Riley for that long, he thought he might just go insane.

“Liam?” Riley murmured, still half asleep.

“Yes, love, I’m here.” Liam knelt by the bedside and took her hand in his, “I didn’t mean to wake you.”

“S’ok.” She breathed; eyes fluttering open to smile sleepily up at him.

“Ok, I’m going to leave you two alone for a while. I’ll have the kitchen send up some food in, oh, say, an hour? I’ll have them just leave it outside the door. Take your time, we have hours until dinner.”

Drake made his way downstairs to find Max and Hana in the breakfast nook, “Good morning!”

“Morning Drake.” Hana smiled.

“Morning best friend roomie!” Max was piling food on his plate.

Drake rolled his eyes, “Yep. That never gets old.”

Max reached for more bacon.

“Hey!” Hana slapped his hand, “leave some for Drake!”

“Yeah, leave some for me!”

“Me!” Ellie declared from her highchair.

“Good morning peanut.” Drake dropped an affection kiss on her head, “Thanks for taking baby duty last night Hana. I’ll take her out after breakfast.”

Drake made it a point to make sure Ellie got some fresh air and sunshine every day it was possible to do so. He felt it was important for her overall health and development. He was planning to build an elaborate play structure in the back, past the gazebo between the main house and the guest cottage.

“Anytime. I love spending time with her, and she almost never wakes up during the night anymore.”

Riley had insisted that the bedroom attached to the nursery be occupied every night by one of them: herself, Liam, Drake, Hana or Max and no one else. They had nannies, but after everything they had been through, she struggled to trust anyone outside their small circle, and everyone understood why, especially where Eleanor was concerned. There were very few people outside of the five of them that she trusted, like Oliva, Savannah and Bertrand. The nannies cleaned up the playroom and kept her laundry fresh, things like that. Riley, Liam and Drake has been united in wanting to be as hands on as possible. Baths, meals, playtime and bedtime were the purview of her parents or one of her trusted aunts or uncles.

“Is Riley coming down?” Hana asked.

“No, I’m going to have breakfast sent up. Liam just got back this morning.”

“That’s very thoughtful of you.” Hana replied.

Max looked up and regarded him quietly for a moment at Hana’s words. It was, wasn’t it? Drake hadn’t always been known for being thoughtful.

After the four of them had eaten, Drake gave instructions to the kitchen staff to send breakfast up to the master suite in an hour. “Knock but don’t wait for an answer, just leave it outside the door.”

“Who wants to join us?” He asked as he cleaned Ellie up and got her down from the highchair.

“Oh! I will!” Max jumped up, “Hana banana, you coming?”

“No, Max, I have to get ready for tonight!” Her parents were coming and she was nervous so she was personally over seeing every last detail of the dinner.

“Do you need any help?” Max asked in concern. He knew how she wound herself up where her parents were concerned.

She gave him a grateful smile, “No, Max, that’s so sweet of you, but I’ve got it. Go! Play with Ellie and Drake!”

“Ok, but just call or text if you need me!” He dropped a quick kiss on her forehead and sprinted after Drake and Ellie who had a head start. He caught up to them as Drake shifted Ellie onto his hip and opened the front door.

“Hana ok?” Drake asked.

“Yeah, she’ll be fine, you know how she gets about her parents.”

Drake nodded, he knew.

“Hey Drake.” Max said as he struggled to keep up with the bigger man’s longer strides.

“Yeah?”

“I don’t think I’ve ever told you but, I really appreciate how you take care of Ri and Ellie.”

“Ok….”

“No, I know, but seriously, when we were kids, who would have ever thought that you and Liam would end up as co-husbands or whatever you call it-“

Drake grunted.

“I realize Liam gets all the credit publicly since he’s the one actually married to her, and Ellie is his biological daughter-“

“Is there a point Max?”

“Yeah, just, you’re really good at it. Being a husband and a dad. You’re a good partner to Riley and Liam both. I see all the things that you do for all three of them and I can’t imagine anyone being a better dad to Ellie. Besides Liam, of course, I just mean-“

Drake shot him a sidelong glance as he shifted Ellie up higher on his hip and held out his other hand in front her, offering her the cereal puffs in his palm, “I know what you mean, Max. Thanks.”

They walked in silence for a few moments then Drake said, “You know you turned out to be a damn good uncle to Ellie and Bartie and a good friend as well. I’m glad you’re my sort of brother-in-law.”

Max skipped a little in happiness. He knew Drake well enough not to push his luck with anymore sentimentality.

Liam and Riley spent the next few hours reacquainting themselves with each other. They liked to take time to reconnect when one of them had been gone for a while. They reconnected a lot, showered together, reconnected again, had breakfast, reconnected again, then showered again. Finally, they got dressed and headed out for the day.

“I’m sooooo excited that you made it back in time for Thanksgiving dinner!” Riley gushed.

“Wouldn’t miss it, love.” Liam smiled indulgently as he dropped a kiss on her forehead. Three years together and she still made his heart skip a beat when she smiled at him. He would give her anything, making it home for Thanksgiving dinner was a small thing.

Thanksgiving was an American holiday, but it was Riley’s favorite, so it had become a tradition for them to host their closest friends and family for the day. Since it wasn’t a thing in Cordonia, there was no guilt about having the staff work that day. On the contrary, the chefs made it a point to learn how to make the traditional American dishes because they enjoyed making her happy. Riley made sure that working conditions at Valtoria were fair, pay was good and that everyone felt appreciated. She treated everyone the same, no matter if they were nobility or working class. She knew the names of every person that worked for her and the names of their children. It fostered devotion among her staff and subjects alike.

They found Drake on the grounds with Maxwell, helping crown princess Eleanor feed the peacocks. They were hers, after all, a gift from her uncle Max on her recent second birthday. Liam watched as his daughter laughed gleefully in Drakes arms, flinging feed into the air, and giggling when it scattered on the ground and the peafowl scurried around competing for a taste of it.

“Good job baby girl!” Drake encouraged her.

“Yeah, go Ellie!” Max laughed, “She’s loves them! I knew she would!”

Drake chuckled good naturedly, “You mean you love them, and you knew you have similar tastes as the two-year-old. Of course, she loves them, but she also likes shoving beans up her nose and drinking bathwater so…….”

“Disparage all you want, but Ellie knows what’s cool, right kid?”

Eleanor suddenly spotted Liam and kicked out of Drake’s arms to run to him squealing in delight, “Daddy!”

Drake lowered her to ground quickly but gently, careful not to release his grip too soon but fast enough to prevent her from tumbling out of his arms before he could set her down. He laughed softly as he watched her race into Liam’s arms. He hadn’t thought it was possible to love anyone as much as he loved Riley, but then Ellie had been born and proven him wrong. It didn’t matter to him whose DNA she had. In fact, even had he not been in love with her mother, he always would have loved any child of Liam’s because he loved Liam. The moment she had been placed in his arms for the first time and he had gazed down at her tiny face, he knew he would gladly die for her.

Liam swept her into his arms and hugged her tightly, “What have you been up to Ellie girl?”

“Feeding the pea-cos with tata and uncy Max!” She informed him proudly.

“That’s amazing and great!” Liam assured her as his hand turned into a tickle monster that attacked her stomach.

“Yeeeee, daddy!” She laughed as she wiggled out of his grasp and ran away, looking back to make sure he was chasing her.

Riley walked over and planted a kiss on Drake’s cheek, “Thanks for sending up breakfast, babe.”

“You’re welcome καρδιά μου.” He murmured, planting a kiss on her head.

When Liam and Eleanor made their way back to the group, Liam was panting.

“Need to hit the gym with me, Li?” Drake raised an eyebrow.

“She’s very fast!” Liam panted.

“That’s true!” Max chimed in, “I can vouch for that!”

“Thanks Max.” Liam was still panting.

“You’re welcome, Li! Good to see you back!” Max clapped him on the back affectionately.

“Good to be back!” Liam agreed, “Where’s Hana?”

“Putting the finishing touches on a few things. She’s all in a tizzy because her parents are coming.”

“Ah, yes. Well, should we head back and see if she needs help with anything?” Liam asked.

“We probably should.” Drake agreed.

Back in the house, preparations were in full swing.

“Divide and conquer?” Riley asked.

“Of course, love, what needs to be done?” Liam asked.

“Max, you find Hana and calm her down, Liam, why don’t you take Ellie? She’s missed you and I know you’ve missed her. Drake, could you double check what time Bert and Savanna are arriving? And make sure your mom has everything she needs.”

Bianca had arrived two days ago to spend the week with them.

“And where are you off to, love?” Liam inquired.

“The kitchen of course! To check on the stuffing!”

“You know we have staff for that, right?”

Riley snorted, “Yes but I have to make sure it’s done right! It’s my mother’s recipe!”

Everyone went their separate ways, the estate filled with a hubbub of activity and the smell of roasted turkey. Before long, the guests started to arrive.

“Is she going to make us do the thing again?” Olivia asked as she swept in.

“The thing?” Liam inquired as he took her coat.

“Yes, the thing, where we have to go around the table and say what we’re thankful for, that thing!”

Liam laughed, “Oh, absolutely!”

“Great.” She grumbled, but she smiled as she leaned in and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, “Now where’s my niece?”

“Aunty Liiiiiiiiiiiv!” Eleanor was practically a blur as she zipped past Liam and barreled into Liv’s arms.

“I see who gets all the love.” Leo grumbled as he stepped through the door behind her.

“Unky Leo!” She squealed as she bounced from Liv to fling herself at him.

He laughed as he swept her into his arms, “That’s more like it! Now, where’s the food?”

Savannah, Bertrand and Bartie were next followed by the queen mother. Eleanor was a bundle of excitement as she ran from one beloved adult to another before finally pulling Bartie away to the playroom just off the main living area. Hana’s parents were the last to arrive.

“Mr. Lee, Mrs. Lee.” Drake shook their hands as he welcomed them, “Come on and I’ll show you to your room in case you want to freshen up before dinner. You’re spending the night, right? I’ll let Hana know you’re here.”

Hana’s phone dinged, she pulled it out, swiped open the text from Drake then looked up at Riley with wide eyes, “They’re here!”

Riley laughed and pulled Hana into a hug, “It’s ok, we’re all here for you and things have been going good with them, right?”

“Right!” Hana nodded.

“Ok then,” Riley smiled at her, “Let’s go get this Thanksgiving started!”

If we're talking about retcons can we also please talk about how Tamlin was retconned too? I have a list™️(sorry this is gonna be long): in ACOTAR it’s a big point that Tamlin didn’t want to be a cruel tyrannical high lord like his dad. This is stated SEVERAL times, in fact Feyre falls for him because he's vehemently anti slavery (compare that to Rhys, who says the NC freed their slaves ONLY because they became hard to brainwash and make them forget about Velaris. Ew). 1/5

But in ACOMAF, he's ok with the tithe? Not that he shouldn’t collect taxes, but at the threat of DEATH??? Because “that’s how my dad did it?” What happened to not wanting to be cruel like his dad? In TAR he's kind enough where people keeping seeking refuge, and long before Amarantha comes, Lucien, despite having friends in many courts, CHOOSES to stay with Tam. And Lucien spends 90% of the book mocking Tamlin or challenging him. He even sets Feyre up with the suriel, fearing no repercussions despite Feyre being important in, uh, breaking their curse??? (and there aren’t any from Tam). But in MAF Lucien is afraid of Tamlin? In TAR, Tamlin offers to teach Feyre how to read and to help her write to her family, and the book also mentions that he teaches her how to ride bareback. But now in MAF he doesn’t want to help teach her her powers and in fact, forbids her from training? And most importantly… in ACOTAR, Tamlin notices Feyre's moods despite being very busy with, you know. Running his court. Fighting off Amarntha's monsters. All that stuff. But he still sees when she's sad. In fact, noticing she's upset is what leads to him writing her poems, to make her feel better. So am I really supposed to believe that he ignores her and becomes emotionally negligent in ACOMAF because “he's busy”? That he doesn’t see her feelings or try to help and console her when he does so several times in book 1? Retcon city. Sorry, this is so long, but I’m angry ranting and Tamlin was retconned sooo much in later books.

NONNY THIS IS LITERALLY A TAMLIN STAN ACCOUNT WE CAN TALK ABOUT HIS CHARACTER ASSASSINATION ALLLLLLLLLLLLL MF DAYYY. IT'S MY FAVORITE PASS TIME.

So really, the tithe, I understand, it's even stated that most of the money and things are for running the estate and the land, upkeep etc. I think a lot of people have the tendency to hear(or read) estate and think....a very large house, but that isn't the case. A Lord's estate isn't just his manor, but his workers, his land, the villages that are built on that land, the animals in those villages, and anything and everything in between. He is literally collecting money to put towards their quality of life. HOWEVER, THE THREAT OF DEATH?

I understand he's vulnerable to Ianthe's whims, because as i've said before, he's never had anyone to guide him through this whole Highlord thing that he never asked for, but that is SO MUCH of a stretch for his character. In TAR he tells Feyre that he's no good for anything but war and death, and fiddling, that he's no good at being Highlord and he's terrified of being his father. Every action he takes is consciously for the betterment of his people and their lives, to the best of his ability while under Amarantha's rule. To the point where Fae, including Alis, flee from Amarantha and the effects of her and Rhysand's actions to his court. And when they get there they all choose to stay. Alis and Lucien, two of the main people who we know are refugees in his court, have nothing but kind things to say of him. And like you said- Lucien challenges him and makes fun of him for being awkward and laughs and plays with him as brothers do without fear. Because Tamlin literally does not enforce rank in his court. He doesn't just say that once, it bleeds into every interaction he has with his people. On the Summer Solstice, he sits among the people and plays the fiddle and drinks and dances with Feyre, and leaves everything long enough to take her to watch the wisps until the dawn breaks. He gets on his knees just to play HER a song, right there in front of everyone. He doesn't hide his feelings behind any type of mask, and he doesn't worry about what his people will think because THAT IS THEIR HIGHLORD. Their Highlord is JUST Tamlin, nothing more, nothing less.

He doesn't even wear the fancy, decked-out clothes of a Highlord, because they aren't practical, and he's just Tamlin.

He's never too busy for what Feyre needs- sometimes he has work and he can't spend every waking moment with her, but she never wants for anything. Even when she is so desperately afraid for her sisters...she has no need to be because he's already taken care of everything they could ever want or need. AND NESTA KNOWS IT WAS HIM!!!!! And even after Feyre does....everything that she does, he STILL cares for her family. When her sisters become Fae, he STILL cares for their father right up until the moment he steps onto that battlefield.

I bet, if Elain wanted to return to that house and live out the rest of her days in silence in the mortal realms....he would probably fund it because that's just who he is!!!!

He lets himself be trapped in that snare Feyre lays for him- just to make her smile. Just to see her triumph. Because he knows that's what she needs at that moment. He offers to teach her to read, but it's too embarrassing for her, so he doesn't press. He offers to help her write letters home to her family, but she doesn't know what she would even want to say, so he doesn't press. He keeps her painting of the woods- of a time when she was starving, now, in a time where she is fed and clothed in finery because it reminds him that is not the only one who feels desolate and overwhelmed with responsibility that they never asked for.

And then in the end, despite all this, despite being desperately in love with her, because he is desperately in love with her...he sends her away. He sends her home, back to that estate, away from the danger even when she is supposed to be his savior. Because it's a burden she doesn't know she carries, because he would rather find a million other ways or suffer under a woman who has been obsessed with him since he was a child than see Feyre suffer.

And she comes back for him because she loves him. She loves the freedom he has given her, the ways he's set her free. She loves the Spring Court and the people there, she loves dancing at the summer solstice and a male who plays her solos in front of hundreds of people like he's offering a gift to the goddess.

And then....all of that was just? A show? A ploy? What? What was it? It doesn't make sense. Yes, he's desperately afraid, but the last time he was desperately afraid he let her go. The safest thing for her in book two would be training. Harnessing her new powers, learning who she is now, and what she isn't anymore. But nooo now, suddenly it's lock her up and put her on a shelf? Now it's, he has too much to do, stay here and not, he has so much to do, stay safe? It's no longer teaching her what she doesn't know it's....owning her? I'd say make it make sense but literally, no one can.

And it makes me mad.

DaveFarts - Episode 13 “When She Finally Leaves” [Episode List] Dana spends the whole day at Dave’s place. When the girl leaves, Tim, who’s now Dave’s roommate, finds out how much gas a man can hold in just to not look gross in front of a girl.

When She Finally Leaves

In the last few weeks I’ve been spending more and more nights at Dave’s place, whether because I needed a place to work, write my essays, or simply to spend some quality time watching bad films and drinking beer. It was Dave himself to ask me to “marry him” (as he jokingly put it), basically becoming official roommates, which also meant dividing our tasks and obviously splitting the rent.

And honestly we were having a great time. We both had jobs, fortunately, which were not much but they did pay taxes for now and it was overall a great experience. Friend or not, Dave is an excellent roommate, being pretty good at cooking and organising chores; the same could be said for me actually, though in some cases we have our own preferences; for example Dave prefers cooking (the fact that I’m bad at it it’s purely coincidental) so we agreed I’ll be the one doing the dishes.

We also had our buds crashing over what is now *our* place a couple of times, which resulted in more bad films and beer, or even nerd stuff such as gaming together. Of course however, the person who most often came over is obviously Dana, Dave’s girlfriend. She’s pretty cool though we don’t really hang out with her when Dave’s not around, though as I said she’s pretty easy-going.

Tonight we’ve been watching a trash movie. Yes, the three of us. Don’t worry, I was a welcome addition today. Dave would usually just tell me to leave for a few hours if sex was on the table (sometimes literally on the table, the one where we eat our food…) as we respect each others enough to just be straightforward whenever we needed some privacy. Tonight however it was just chilling like three friends hanging out together (knowing however that Dave would just give me a signal should things get more heated up you know).

We were in the living room. I was on an armchair, working on my laptop, despite the poor wi-fi. On the long wide couch beside me, Dave and Dana chilling and watching the movie with more attention than me, my bud’s left arm around his girlfriend, sometimes making remarks on how bad it was. We all had a can of beer, because of course we did.

The couple brought some takeouts for dinner, some fast-food a few blocks from here (Dana’s idea, actually, which we were both thankful for). Dave, chilling next to Dana, was wearing his signature casual outfit: a grey shirt and pair of dark blue loose jeans, details that my gay-ass eyes immediately noticed and more than once stared at.

“Oh wow the helicopter just blew up I’m speechless.” Dave said, sarcastically.

“A Subversive Masterpiece: that’s what they were going for when they wrote this.” Dana added, and they both chuckled.

I also did my fair share of sarcastic remarks though work got most of my attention, even though it was nothing urgent, just me trying to get some stuff done as fast as possible.

“Did the shark just wink at him?” my bro commented.

“They’re best friends now.” his girlfriend explained. What a great film.

After 15 more minutes the movie ended with the three of us clapping at a shot of a man and a shark exchanging a look of gratitude to each other, as the Sun set into the never-ending ocean. Drugs played a big role into the making of this move I’m 100% sure.

“Well, that was enlightening, but I gotta head back home. The Uber’s almost here.” Dana said, as she got up and reached for her purse and some other stuff.

“You’re really sure about that? Come on, stay here for the night.” Dave suggested. “I taught Tim to play dead. We can throw food at him.” he then joked.

“I can also bring you the newspaper upstairs, tomorrow morning.” I played along.

Dana chuckled in response. “I’m sure you’ll win the next contest you two, but I gotta wake up super early tomorrow.”

The couple walked towards the front door. The entrance was next to the living room, a few steps behind the couch. Dave and I sometimes darkly joked that any assassin could easily ambush us because whenever we’re on the couch anyone could sneak into the house behind us, with enough care (we then prefer to drink about it).

“Call me when you get home.” Dave said and the two shared a quick kiss.

In the meantime I moved on the bigger (and more comfortable) couch, more or less in Dana’s spot, as I also have better wi-fi reception there. I left my laptop on the small table in front of me because apparently all of my laptops have to be shitty and take some time to even the most basic stuff. As I inspected the wi-fi icon flashing on the screen, I heard Dave shutting the door and walking back to the couch. After a few steps his tall figure was already towering over me.

“Yeah the reception is pretty bad lately.” he commented, and then collapsed next to me.

Only a few seconds and he already had that well-known smirk drawn on his face; he then quickly adjusted his position. He completely laid down, extended his demin-clad legs, with his left one resting on the back of the couch, ending right behind my neck. In a moment, Dave ended up showing off his loose, almost-sagging jeans-clad ass directly next to me, as his legs trapped me into a gentle yet strong grip. Seeing both that “wall” made of jeans and my bro’s smirk at the same time was a sight I never truly got used to. He was just lying there, next to me, with his ass pointed at me, as if it was one big prank, even though he knew exactly how much I enjoyed that.

“Bro you’re ready?” he asked, still sporting that smirk.

When even Dave goes as far as asking me if I’m ready, then I knew that the fart was going to be gargantuan. And I realized why: Dana has been with us and my bro the entire day, so it’s possible that Dave just held all of his gas in for hours. We all experienced this, then when the girl leaves, men get to “relax”. Other than that, Dave had tons of beer and junk food. I stared at that denim butt, for the first time almost scared of what my bud was capable of; I knew a fart was coming, and I knew it was going to be big.

But what Dave said next really once again confirmed how chill he is around me.

“Believe me: you might want to get closer for this one.” he said, laughing a bit.

He sported weirdly reassuring smile, Dave’s millionth attempt at saying “It’s ok, Tim.” as he probably noticed now nervous I became when he assumed that pose.

The teasing bastard then went full bully on me and simply reached for my head with his long right arm and gently pulled me down, as if I was bowing to that still silent denim-clad ass. I just heard him laugh like an idiot, as it usually happens. Despite my head being down and in front of that ass, I could still see Dave’s face and that smirk. He raised his eyebrows and half-closed his eyes as he started pushing, but he didn’t need to put all that effort into ripping that blast.

It’s like the fart was barely contained in the first place: it immediately exploded with a loud sound right into my face. Dave closed his eyes and kept his smirk as the blast probably surprised him as well. It was low-pitched and dry, a completely natural gas-eruption that sounded like an engine. The stench was unbearable, a mixture of beer and junk food, surprise to no one.

While farting, Dave adjusted his position as bit, spreading his legs bit more, with my face getting almost planted into that denim-clad butt as he effortlessly kept ripping that immense flatulence. Hours and hours of gas being erupted as if I was in front of a dormant volcano that just woke up. And I feared that “hours” was what he was going for ‘cause after 20 seconds the fart didn’t even lose power.

Dave still had this smirk drawn on his face and occasionally stared down at me as he completely destroyed my face and nose with his incredible farting skills, skills that constantly let me speechless, fetish or not. He was the fart master, a showoff with a manly talent that I could only bow to and endure in the hop-

“Sorry, I forgot my house keys.”

The fart immediately stopped and it all went silent: It was Dana.

Dave turned his head to his girlfriend, greeting her with the stupidest smile you can think of.

“Oh stay there no worries, they’re right here.” I heard Dana say as she reached for keys, probably hanging right next to the door, my face still almost planted in my friend’s denim ass. That felt surreal.

I completely froze (not that I could move) but I knew that she couldn’t see me (just like I couldn’t see her) as I was lying down. All she could see from where she was standing was Dave’s head and his right leg resting on the back of the couch, since the entrance was behind our couch.

I was terrified, while Dave was doing his best not laugh like an idiot.

“What’s so funny?” Dana asked, laughing a bit herself, definitely noticing her boyfriend being weird.

My teasing bro quickly glanced down at me, almost losing it (and still holding holding the fart in, which didn’t stop the smell from burning my nostrils).

“N-nothing’” he stuttered. That’s it, he was gonna laugh like an idiot.

“Okay” I heard Dana, not really convinced of the boyfriend’s answer though.

There was a moment of awkward silence and then we heard a car honk, thank goodness.

“Oh… it’s my Uber. Bye!” the girl said, quickly leaving the house and shutting the door behind her.

Another moment of silence followed, Dave still staring at the entrance. I was shaking, I was legitimately scared that someone was gonna find out, which was weird given the hotness I was experiencing in that moment, even without the fart being ripped.

“Ok… where were we?” Dave asked, turning back to me, with a smirk. “Oh yeah!”

And he effortlessly resumed farting, just as loud, proud and powerful as it was before the interruption, directly into my face. The terror I experienced moments before was blown away by that incredibly blast and me being rock-hard, as it usually happens when Dave showoffs his gassy talent around me, or on me.

Dozens of seconds passed and at this point Dave just played along. He nodded at me, faking a serious expression, as if he was listening to something actually interesting instead of his own loud fart still going on strong; after about ten more seconds he checked the time on his wrist-watch and acted surprised, then stared down at me as if he wanted to say “damn that is long!”. We both however actually lost the track of time and he simply relaxed as if I wasn’t even in front of his ass, all while the fart was still being blasted in my face.

Dave then reached for my head again and gently pushed it inches closer to his roaring ass, and I felt the vibrations of his rip all over my face: it was literally an earthquake.

How long was it lasting? More than 1 minute perhaps? How much gas can a man hold in? Dave certainly was pushing for a record. All I knew is that I felt privileged witnessing that, even though I was beyond being a mere witness since no particle of gas missed my eyes and nostrils.

However (finally, actually), the fart seemingly started to lose power, the once-continuous sound starting to “stutter” and turning more into a fast series of loud farts, fired back-to-back. The show (because that’s what it was: a show) ended with a loud, 5 seconds blast, and Dave’s laughter.

I slowly got up, sweaty, my nose burning, with a startled look to which my bro reacted with another immature cackle. I was now sitting next to him as I was before, and looked back at my bud, who in the meantime re-adjusted his pose. He was still lying down, still kind of showing off his loose-sagging ass, but in a less “menacing” way: now he was just chilling.

“When’s Dana coming over again?” I joked. I mustered all the courage I had left to say that. I was impressed by the fact that I could still speak considering that all of my blood probably flooded my boner at that point.

Dave laughed at that lame joke, thank goodness. “As if I need Dana to blast you like this.”

He raised one leg, again showing off his sagging denim ass in my direction. He quickly sucked some air in and after a few moments and weird noises a loud 6 seconds fart erupted. For his standards, that’s basically a weak one.

My friend just casually joking and bragging about facefarting me and then farting on command to prove it made me lose it, as I felt my boner… dampening. He didn’t notice it but he knew that I had a hard-on, that’s for sure.

I didn’t want to just rush into the bathroom so I just stared at my laptop, still on the table, in front of me: the wi-fi signal was stronger than ever. I jokingly like to think that Dave’s blast was so powerful it actually influenced the signal somehow and improved it.

I turned to my bud, still lying on his side of the couch, just checking his phone and being… casually hot.

“Thanks man.” I said, not for the wi-fi though.

He lowered his phone, revealing a blank reaction “Really?” he said, rolling his eyes, with a bored expression. “Stop being cringe and do the dishes.”

Fuck, I totally forgot about those. We had takeout food but we still used some of our dishes. I immediately got up and rushed to the kitchen, hoping that Dave was distracted by his phone enough to not notice by boner through my sweatpants.

Once in the kitchen, a place that wasn’t tainted by Dave’s gas, my nostrils could still feel my bro’s fart-stench. That’s how soaked up in his gas I was. Even my ears needed some time to adjust to the silence, now that I didn’t have a deafening fart being ripped right into my skull.

And I just knew that this wasn’t the last time this was gonna happen. I’m Dave’s roommate, and being roomies means we have to divide our tasks: he’s the farter, I’m the sniffer.

Birthstone Legacy Challenge

Ok, I don’t post a lot on here, but I’m a huge fan of the sims. I’ve been playing it since gen 1 back in 2000. So, I’ve been having fun with challenges, especially the past couple years with 100 Baby, and I’ve found online. And after reading hearing and reading up on Lilsimsie’s Not So Berry Challenge, I had an idea of my own challenge. So, I thought I’d share if anyone else wanted to play along.

Disclaimer: These challenges mean nothing in regards to people born in that month. I simply took symbolism and cultural aspects of each stone to create a challenging and interesting playthroughs you might not think to do.

Lifespan requirements: Normal (not sure if it’s possible on Short, but if you want hard mode, do it).

The idea is to start with your month’s birthstone, then each generation is the next month’s stone for either 10 generations (traditional Legacy), or 12 if you wan to do the full year. You could also start on the month after your birth month with a full year play-through, so your birth month acts as a “finale”. Might be helpful if say your birth month is April, and you know your month’s stone is Diamond and to you it sounds like a finisher, or if your birth month is December, and you’d just prefer to start with January’s stone. It’s up to you.

These will just be listed month by month, so they are easy to find.

Like in the other color challenges, you want to model your sim with the stone’s colors in mind. You should also build their house with their stone’s color in mind.

1. January stone: GARNET

Color: Dark Red

Garnets have a high refractive index, which causes them to look as if they are emitting light. Due to this phenomenon, travelers during the crusades would carry them to ward off evil. The stone represents Faith, Love and Constance.

Traits: Good, Ambitious, Cheerful

Goals:

- Complete the Soulmate aspiration

- Complete the Law career as a judge.

- Must maintain career until death (meaning no retirement, quitting, or being fired).

- Must have at least 2 kids after the soulmate aspiration is fulfilled.

- All children must be raised with all green character values and no lower than Bs in school.

2. February stone: AMETHYST

Color: Purple

The word Amethyst comes from the Greek word, amethystos, meaning “not drunken.” This comes from a myth where Dionysus was so enraged, he vowed his wrath on the next human he saw, which was a young woman, Amethystos. To “save” this woman, Artemis turned her to stone (note to self, don’t ask Artemis to save you ever, because her track record sucks). Dionysus calmed at seeing the stone’s beauty, and poured his wine on it, giving the stone it’s purple color. In more recent centuries, amethysts have been associated with piety and rank in the Catholic Church, as bishops are given amethysts when they are appointed.

This can be through adoption, which is more likely if you want to play pure piety or you have an Ace sim in mind, and the adoptee must be a child or teen. The other option is through secret woohoos if you want to play the more historically accurate, seedy way. **If you are playing with Risky Woohoos, you can have max 2 kids living with you. All others children must be removed from the house and into a Townie’s home once they become toddlers.

3. March stone: AQUAMARINE

Since it’s a click of a button without game mechanic influence, it’s kind of cheating. HOWEVER, if you decide your born son should transition, it still counts. This is mostly to take the steps during pregnancy to make a boy (since we’ve all watched others influence for a girl 1000x), That or to keep going until “the odds are in your favor.”)

haiiiiiiiiiiiiii can we get a john x fem reader wherein the reader is the doctor and a friend of the macfarlanes and they patch him up after getting shot by bill LOL (rdr1!! i’m not sure if you’ve played that but if you havent it’s ok to ignore this tysm :3)

WOAHH this is long overdue but I haven’t played the first (don’t kill me) so I decided to watch a 10hr play through— I’m yet to finish it cause its long and I’m watching it in short segments but I think I could tackle this. I really hope this doesn’t flop bc idk what I’m doing lmao.

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

It’s just a regular afternoon when Bonnie returns back to the ranch, you’re cleaning some of the medical cabinets, making lists of what needs to be topped up when you next take a trip to town or the Ranch’s general store. It’s light work for an easy afternoon but that all change pretty quickly when Bonnie came storming through the door, asking you for help on a man who’d been shot and needed urgent medical attention.

The list of medicines is dropped to the floor as she shows you to one of the units where he was currently laid out in the bed. You sat down, clearing his shirt and jacket to stop the bleeding and clean the wound. You were well focused on your work, stitching up the wound with practiced ease and addressing his other minor injuries like the small cut to the back of his head from hitting the ground and the bruising to his ribs from the bullet wound. Unbeknown to you, Bonnie has taken a stand behind your shoulder to watch you work.

“Damn fool thought he could take out Bill Williamson.”

“Bill Williamson?”

You could only stare down in surprise at the unconscious man before you. A man like Bill Williamson was not to be reckoned with, especially in a shootout if the evidence before you is anything to go by.

It took a few more hours of care but Bonnie stayed with you to make light of the situation and keep you company, only coming and going to bring back any supplies you needed. Once you’d properly bandaged his abdomen you stood from the shabby wooden stool you were sitting on and dusted your hands. You collected your tools into your bag and placed a soft hand to Bonnie’s shoulder.

“He should be fine now. He’s going to need lots of rest while his wound heals and he’ll probably be disoriented and dehydrated when he wakes but nothing more, you’ll find me if his condition worsens?”

Bonnie gave you a short nod in agreement, happy to stay with him for a few hours while you went and got some rest.

John woke with a splitting headache and a burning pain in his side. The events of the last few days coming back to him. He didn’t get time to think about it much however, when a golden haired woman came through the door, instantly giving him a light hearted lecture about chasing after Bill Williamson and getting shot at.

“Well while you may have done something stupid— we got to you in time and the Doc fixed you up real fine, got the bullets removed a few days ago. You’re a lucky man Mr…err?”

John made his way to the edge of the bed, sitting up and groaning at the pain that is usual for a bullet wound.

“Mr. Marston— John Marston and I suppose I should be thankin’ him for fixing me up.”

The woman leaned against the handle of the door, watching him shuffle on his feet awkwardly as she smirked at him.

“Bonnie MacFarlane. Miss, Bonnie MacFarlane and I hope you do thank her. She did a real fine job of takin’ care of you. She spends her mornings up on the hill by one of the large oak trees by the paddock, I suggest you pay her a visit before you start working off your medical bills.”

And with that, John picked up his hat from the wooden table that Bonnie had saved for him and started making his way over to you.

You were standing over by one of the smaller sheep paddocks off to the side of the MacFarlane Ranch and took in a deep breath, basking in the morning sun and leaning your elbows against the fence. You usually took the mornings to yourself, having half an hour to wake up slowly and enjoy yourself before you tented to a range of injuries and illnesses. Having been longtime friends to Bonnie and her father, your family had always been respected at the ranch and that came with certain privileges such as time off work in the morning.

Your peaceful moment was distributed, but not unpleasantly as you noticed the man who Bonnie bought in yesterday walking towards you. When he reached a certain distance his hat came off and held it in his hands, flattening his stringy hair as he addressed you.

“Pardon me ma’am, I didn’t mean to disturb you. Miss MacFarlane said you were the one needed thanking for taking care o’ me— so thank you.”

You noticed how he fiddled with the brim of his hat in his hands, trying not to look what you’d guess was embarrassed.

After you two introduced each other and you accepted John’s thanks, you offered for him to come and stand beside you by the fence.

“So who does a man have to be to go after an outlaw and bandit such as Bill Williamson?”

Your question was supposed to be lighthearted and fun, ready to tease him just as Bonnie had done for waltzing into Fort Mercer alone. You didn’t expect for John to answer you honestly

“An old friend…”

You stared at him in shock but he didn’t seem to notice as he stared out into the paddock of grazing sheep.

“Wait you know Bill Williamson?”

He could only nod for a moment, giving you a polite but almost sad smile at what seemed like a painful memory.

“Yes ma’am. There was a time when Bill and I weren’t so different.”

You actually spent a lot longer than you’d anticipated talking to John. For some reason unknown to you, John seemed to open up a fair bit. Maybe it all came down to the fact that you were approachable and kind, a quality you needed as the ranches doctor. Nevertheless he spent hours telling you about some of his time with the old ‘Van Der Linde Gang’. John spoke of train robberies and homesteads, what it was like to steal from folk and live wildly. He even mentioned gang rivalries and the epic tale of surviving a wolf attack.

He told you of some of the best times and even the worst but all of them were distance memories and he seemed quick to change the topic about why exactly he wanted to ‘reunite’ with Bill.

“What about you, Miss? How’d you end up here? Don’t see many female doctors around— w-with no offence intended ma’am.”

You let out a small laugh, hearing his curiosity turn to something desperate as he realised he may have been offensive. You kept your weight on one elbow, facing towards him and smiled.

“Well my daddy is the head doctor but he’s now semi retired. He’s a good man but he wasn’t always a doctor. A long time ago, when I was just a little girl our family were ranch handlers just like Bonnie’s family, but well… one season all the cattle got sick and were dying so my father moved to medicine. The MacFarlane’s are old friends and we’ve been with them ever since.”

John hummed, turning his gaze from you to stare at the vast Ranch that was almost a village in his eyes.

“Seem like good people— real decent folk.”

You nodded in response, growing up on this ranch became your home and you loved the MacFarlane’s very deeply.

“Indeed they are Mr.Marston, decent folk are hard to come by these days.”

Your pleasant conversation with John was suddenly interrupted by Bonnie who whistled down by the stables, clearly signalling for John to come and assist her with chores around the ranch. You could only hope that meant seeing more of John.

“It seems Miss MacFarlane will be needing my help. Thank you again ma’am, you saved my life.”

You didn’t get to say much as John took your hand in his, brining it to his mouth in a polite kiss to your knuckle before walking down the hill. He didn’t get far before you stopped him one last time.

“Oh Mr. Marston! I need to ride into town tomorrow to restock on medicines that they don’t stock at the general store. Would you be so kind as to accompany me?”

You eyes were full of hope and joy as he nodded and gave you a warm smile.

“It’s John, and I could think of nothing better than to help you ma’am”

You couldn’t stop the smile that spread onto your face as you watched John load his horse and ride of with Bonnie and a few others to work at various places around the ranch. You couldn’t stop the fluttery feeling in your stomach either at the anticipation and excitement of getting to see the mysterious but intriguing man John Marston.
