atticlights​ ( ft. simon ! ) 
Tumblr media
bridgerton , an english name . it made the duke wonder where she had grown up and if somehow they had crossed paths somewhere on the island . what a small world . and  yet it wasn’t . too many people , too many problems . and there it was the somewhat too forward words , but something about her- daphne’s words don’t make simon cringe for her . a short laugh comes from his lips followed my a small smirk . “ simon , ” he announces , taking her hand to shake . “ duke of hastings . not a hot french serial killer . ”
Tumblr media
. . . 
          and  there  it  is .  she  hasn’t  just  made  a  complete  muppet  of  herself  in  front  of  another  brit ,  but  a  duke .  she  tries  to  turn  on  her  sparkle - -  to  salvage  the  situation  ,  but  she  thinks  it  may  be  lost .     ❝  hastings  ?    i’m  sure  we  have  stuffy  friends  in  common  somewhere .  my  brother’s  a  viscount ,  not  that  it  matters  much  to  him .  the  title  sort  of  died  with  my  father .  we  went  to  kate  &  william’s  wedding  ,  though .    ❞   she  shakes  his  hand ,  offering  him  a  sheepish  smile .  she  tucks  her  hair  behind  her  ear ,  rubbing  at  the  back  of  her  neck ,  nose  crinkling .  
Tumblr media
❝  seeing  as  i  haven’t  figured  you  out  at  all  your  grace ,  i’d  be  grateful  if  you  gave  me  some  time .  you’re  quite  the  enigma ,  and  i’m  usually  rather  good.  ❞

alittlexwicked​ - ELPHABA 
Tumblr media
finding herself standing awkwardly amidst all of the grandeur and finery, elphaba cursed herself for allowing nessarose to talk her into attending such an event. she could never be accused of shying away from opportunities to do good in the world but surely a donation from the family would have done just as well, if not better, than her mediocre presence. 
Tumblr media
though nessa had protested mightily, elphaba was hellbent on wearing a suit and neither hell nor high water were going to dissuade her. elphie’s fashion was ever the sticking point between the two siblings with the younger sister taking every available opportunity to encourage and even in some cases bully the older into making more flattering choices, to no avail. elphaba was firmly of the mind that the distinction between men’s and women’s labels were merely obstacles for her to overcome and anyone could wear whatever clothing they liked, provided they had the courage to do so.
the woman before her could have been the textbook definition of graceful feminine charms, so far as she could tell. all of those swags and baubles would have made elphaba look like an over decorated christmas tree. still, she was used to her own sister’s neediness and had no qualms about helping a maiden in need.
“i’m clearly not a fit judge for these sorts of things but why would you want to wear something just because everyone else happens to think it’s cool?” she couldn’t resist the urge to ask as she stepped forth to help fasten the corsage ‘round delicate wrist.
Tumblr media
                        she  is  beyond  grateful  when  the  other  woman  rushes  to  her  aid ,  and  turns  her  wrist  as  if  she  can  be   of  some  assistance  to  the  careful  ministrations  of  her  rescuer .   ❝  you  sound  just  like  my  sister . . .   ❞  daphne  laughs ,  bell -  like  giggling  hiding  real  hurt .  she  misses  eloise  and  her  judgement .  eloise  who  she  envies  for  walking  boldly  into  a  room  and  not  giving  a  monkey’s  about  what  anyone  thinks .  eloise  who  is  always  so  sure  of  herself .  daphne  has  never  been  so  sure  of  anything ,  and  she  wonders ,  perhaps ,  if  it  has  made  her  weak .   if  she  is   silly  where  eloise  is  bold .  
❝  for  me ,  it’s  about  still  seeing  the  beauty  in  a  tradition  that  seems . . .   antiquated .  no  one  needs  to  know  that  i  gave  myself  this  corsage .  i  can  happily  be  my  own  date .   ❞  she  laughs  again ,  but  it  comes  out  weaker  this  time .  daphne  wants  so  very  much  to  be  enough  for  herself.   ❝  thank  you ,  all  the  same.    ❞  she  clears  her  throat ,  and  carefully  fingers  the  petals  with  her  other  hand ,  
      ❝  i  wouldn’t  be  so  quick  to  judge  your  own  appearance .  i  think  you  look  rather  bold . though  you’ve  made  it  very  apparent  that  you  don’t  care ,  suit’s  are  very  in  vogue  right  now .   ❞  she  raises  a  brow ,  before  a  peal  of  laughter  escapes  her .   ❝  i’m  daphne .  to  whom  do  i  owe  tonight’s  rescue  to  ?  one  day ,  i’ll have  to  name   a  statue  after  you ,  or  something . . ..  wherever  my  mediocrity  takes  me.    ❞

atticlights​ ( simon ) 
Tumblr media
it wasn’t often another waves simon off . he’s heard and seen it all from woman , men and people . its something that simon , at first , thought was cool but as he grew the more he received the creeper the exchanges had been . this peaked his interest in the woman before him . “ should i help you home then ? ” he asks . “ to make it seem super genuine ? ” it wasn’t like him to offer such a thing . “ yes the glasses are okay , for now . or  until i loose them . ”
Tumblr media
       . . .
              she   was   being   forward .   if  her  mother  could  see  her  now ,  she’d  be  cringing  to   high  heaven ,   but  she  didn’t  care .  she  know   she  should  say  no  to  strange  men  offering  to  walking  her  flat  ,  but  something  about  the  man  draws  her  in .    ❝ well , maybe  with  a  proper  introduction  and   a  promise  you’re  not  a   hot  french  serial  killer . . .   ❞  she  offers  a  gloved  hand  for  him  to  shake ,  eyes  flicking  upward  to  meet his.  it  is  only  then  that  she  smiles ,  a  real  laugh   accompanying  her  words .

                        she   has   attended   events   like    this  before   in   london ,  but  not  without   the  close  oversight  of  her  brothers ,  and  the  near  gaze  of  her  mama .  the  only  way  she  had  been  allowed  to  slip   the  guardianship  of  her  tante  winifred  was  the  strict   approval   of  her  gown  ,  and   the  fact  that  she  was  too  fatigued  to  attend  herself. 
Tumblr media
a   violet  gown  (  color  in  honor  of  her  mother  )  embellished  with  gold filigree  adorns  her  petite  frame . her  hair  swept  away  from   her  face ,  loose  curls  rolling  down  her  shoulders .   she  feels  the  very  picture elegance .  the  only  point  of  struggle  ?  the evening gloves  she  fiddles   with  now .  they   are  uncomfortable ,  and  feel  strange  around  her  arms .  she  tugs  at  the  tops ,  and  then  pulls  carefully at  the  corsage  that  sits  delicately  on  her  right  wrist. she   finds  that  one  of  the  stems  in  her  corsage  has   caught  the  glove  in  all  of  her  fidgeting .    - -   with  a  huff of   frustration ,  she  turns  to  the  person  nearest  her . 
                ❝  i  think  i  might  be  in  need  of  a  savior .  ❞   she   holds  her  arm  out  helplessly.   ❝  and  before  you  say  anything ,  corsages  are  still  cool.  i  made  this  one  myself.   ❞

atticlights​:
𝒔𝒊𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝒇𝒆𝒂𝒕. 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒗𝒆
it was his last workout of the week . he enjoyed taking the weekend off to be  … somewhat social but mostly for the relaxation  he can’t find during the week . he was coming out of the gym , putting on his glasses when his body came in contact with another’s . “ shit , ” he mumbled , offering out his hand to the other . “ i’m so terribly sorry . ”
Tumblr media
              . . . 
             her  motivation  to  actually   go  to  the  gym  is  wavering  at  best ,  but  her  aunt  winnie  is  ruthless . she  knows  that  if  she  doesn’t  at  least  pretend ,  she’ll  phone  her  mum  ,  and   if  her  mum  gets  involved ,  she  wont  hear  the  end  of  it .  she’s  nearly  about  to  remove  her  gloves  and  walk  toward  the  gym  entrance ,  when  her   frame  collides  with  another .   he  offers  her  his  hand ,  and  she  waves  him  off . 
Tumblr media
             ❝  no ,  no .  it’s  fine ,  really .  this  puffer  coat  is  like  a  built  in  marshmallow .  plus ,  i  can  pretend  i  sustained  an  injury  and  conveniently  couldn’t  attend  my  barre  class !  are  you  alright ?  glasess  in  tact ?  ❞
