SYBOULETTE'S CANDY NURSERY CONVERTED TO THE SIMS 2 🍭

my previous conversions of syb's nursery sets can be found here: dreamy toddler 👶🏽| little dino 🐱‍🐉

hi everyone! @syboubou released their candy nursery set some time back in april to celebrate the release of ts4's growing together expansion pack, and i DESPERATELY wanted it for ts2! it's so, so adorable! so i did what i do, and almost two months later... here we are! i'm finally done converting the ENTIRE set! 🥳💃🏽

altogether there are 23 buy items, many of them functional, and 3 build assets: 2 wallpapers, 1 carpet floor. i'm immensely pleased with how it all turned out! it should pair well with my dreamy toddler conversions (linked above) and also my 4t2 conversion of madlen's kei baby care kit!

credits go to @syboubou for the amazing original set! it's simply perfection! 💝

there are two versions in the download below: a merged version, and an unmerged version. yes, the download is just THAT big. please pick only one! a collection file has also been prepared for convenience's sake.

DOWNLOAD: SFS | MF 🧁

keep reading below the cut to read what you need to read! and see what you need to see!

more previews

things to note

a readme.txt is also included in the download!

the changing table does not actually come with a bin. so unless you place the decorative trash bin next to it, your sims will be throwing their trash into the void.

the crib is unanimated. i tried my best but the mapping and the way the model was made simply would not accomodate any animations without looking even worse 😫

the dresser is just decor. i use the gussy up mod in my game so my sims rarely use wardrobes. plus, the original dresser's structure made it impossible to be animated 😅

the way that the playmat works in the previews above is actually as a rug. i made an invisible recolor of the sims 2 store playmat (included in the download) and layered it over the decorative one so that it's 'functional'! if you just want the playmat as a rug, you can delete this.

the toddler bed is cloned from @themediocresulk's toddler beds as pet beds so that it's less buggy and your toddlers can get in or out whenever you want them to! you may want to grab this mod so that they gain more motives.

However Many Songs - Idia (Glorious Masquerade)

Author Notes: So, I've been having a lot of fun reading Glorious Masquerade and I saw an opening and received encouragement from friends to just go ahead and write some fics for this event. This one is Idia's and I actually didn't have a specific song I listened to while writing this. It was really just some my Idia playlist instead. As per usual, reader is gender-neutral. I hope you enjoy!

Type: Gender-neutral reader/ sfw/ Glorious Masquerade/ romance/ fluff

Word Count: 840

I glanced over at Idia, who was currently looking around nervously at the slew of unfamiliar faces that surrounded us. It was painfully obvious that the young man was nervous, and I had no doubts that his outfit only made matters worse.

It was sad, though, to see everyone else enjoying themselves, even if some of them would never admit it, while Idia seemed perfectly miserable. But then a social, of all things, probably seemed like hell itself to the socially anxious young man.

I found myself shifting over so that I was standing next to him and waiting until his darting gaze finally settled on me. I smiled slightly at the young man who peered at me with an oddly wary confusion as I began to speak, “It really was nice of them to give everyone such fancy outfits.”

I gestured vaguely to Rollo as I spoke, and Idia stared at me for just another moment in silence. He snorted though, seemingly relaxing at my presence as he rolled his eyes at my words, “I guess ‘fancy’ is one word for this get-up.”

I frowned at his sarcastic tone, swatting him lightly on his arm, “They’re nice clothes, Idia. Even if you don’t like them.”

I watched as he actually grinned at my words, twisting to face me more fully. “They’re expensive clothes,” He corrected in a smugly amused tone before gesturing mockingly towards himself as he continued, “You can’t seriously look at this collar and call it ‘nice.’”

My eyes fell to the frilly collar in question before my gaze lifted back to Idia’s face, where I could see a genuine, if arrogant, smile on his face. It was one of the few real smiles he’d worn during this entire trip, and here we were at the tail end of it all.

“Alright, the collar is a bit much… But you do look nice, Idia, even if you don’t think so,” My words seemed to catch him off-guard. Causing his bright yellow eyes to widen as his mocking grin disappeared and was replaced by a surprising expression.

“I know you didn’t really want to come on this trip,” I continued. Knitting my hands together as I spoke, and did my best to put all of the things that had gone quite gloriously wrong during this trip out of my mind, “But I’m glad you did.”

I smiled at him genuinely and got to watch as Idia faltered. Stumbling over his words as the very edges of his hair slowly started to turn a soft pink, “I-I... That’s-... You-...” He grimaced slightly before trying again, “I didn’t really have a choice.”

Despite his defensive-sounding words, I kept smiling. Lifting one shoulder in a half-shrug, “Even so, it’s nice that we’ve gotten to take this trip together.”

I glanced away, watching the people dance by us with laughter on their lips as I continued, “We don’t have very many classes together, so even when you do show up, I don’t get to see you very often. So this….”

I trailed off slightly, briefly watching the couples swirl by us, totally unaware of the two of us where we chatted on the outer fringes of the celebration, before I looked back his way, “Just standing here with you and chatting… It’s nice.”

He stared at me, his hair now a bright pink and his face a mask of wide-eyed embarrassment. He let out a squeaky sort of sound that seemed to have been him starting to say something before he looked away, coughing slightly.

When he tried again, I could more clearly understand his flustered words, even though he was still looking away from where I stood next to him, “I guess if you look at it that way, it is nice.”

He looked back towards the masquerade ball that still swirled its way across the floor just in front of us as a soft, comfortable silence fell between us.

I didn’t even know how many songs had already been cycled through as I continued to watch him closely from the corner of my eye. Finding myself smiling as his hair returned to its typical blue and his mouth twitched slightly before a defeated sigh escaped his lips, “We stick out like sore thumbs standing over here like wall flowers.”

I laughed at his bitter words, earning myself a half-annoyed look before his expression cleared and he tilted his head, “Hey, You.” I blinked in surprise at his stare and oddly pointed words. He looked suspiciously like he’d thought of something.

He swallowed, almost like bracing himself for something, before he straightened and held out his hand, “Dance with me for one song?”

Despite the slightly commanding phrasing, his voice was soft and held the slightest of timid quivers. 

That tell-tale pink tint slowly returned to his hair as soon as he spoke, and I felt a grin slip onto my face as I took his hand and responded honestly, “I’ll dance with you for however many songs you want, Idia.”

I am by far your superior, but my notorious modesty prevents me from saying so.

- Erik Satie

To his contemporaries and peers Erik Satie was something of an enigma. Just a few of his quirks included claiming he only ate white foods, carrying a hammer wherever he went, founding his own religion, eating 150 oysters in one sitting, and writing a piece with the instruction to repeat 840 times! As a composer, Satie paved the way for the avant-garde in music and became a very influential figure in the classical music of the 20th century whose works still sound fresh today.

Born into a poor and difficult childhood in the Normandy harbour town of Honfleur on 17 May 1866, Satie would always be an outsider. The Paris Conservatoire to which he was enrolled by his stepmother, herself a pianist, became for him “a sort of local penitentiary” during his teens; he left with no qualifications and a reputation for being lazy. He signed up for military service in 1886 and dropped out within the same year. Immersing himself in the bohemian life of Montmartre, he became linked with the popular music scene and eked out a living as an accompanist, playing at the Chat Noir cabaret. Always on the periphery, and forever out of money, he later downgraded from the cramped room in which he lived to the less fashionable Parisian suburb of Arcueil, where he holed up in isolation and squalor – no visitors set foot in the room during the near-30 years he lived there.

Much has been made of the eccentricities of this flâneur, who was always seen in a grey velvet suit, and yet underlying Satie’s music is his serious desire to create something new. You can hear it in his popular piano pieces: the haunting scales and rhythms of the Trois Gnossiennes written under the spell of Romanian folk music, and the meditative world of Gymnopédies, where, as in a cubist painting, motifs are “seen” from all sides. At a time when French composers were looking to escape the shadows of Wagner’s epic Romanticism, the French composer’s stripped-back mechanical sound, inspired by the humble barrel organ, offered a radically simple approach.

Satie preferred originality to the mundane. The composer of the famous Gymnopedies, could never be accused of having an uninteresting personality. For one, his outgoing fashion statements always caused a stir. During his Montmartre years, he had 12 identical velvet corduroy suits hanging in his wardrobe, which earned him the nickname ‘The Velvet Gentleman’, and in his socialist years, he donned a bowler hat and carried an umbrella.

Debussy helped to draw public attention to Satie, orchestrating two of his Gymnopédies, yet Satie had to wait until much later in life to attain celebrity status. While still earning a living writing salon dances and popular cabaret songs, and after suffering a creative crisis, he enrolled himself at the Schola Cantorum in Paris at the age of 39. Rather than finding him validation, his studies seem to have fuelled his hatred of convention - it’s with more than a hint of bitterness that he claims to put “everything I know about Boredom” into the Bach chorale of his masterful Sports et Divertissements piano pieces. But notoriety led to a succès de scandale and when it came it came with a bang in Parade, his surreal, one-act circus ballet for Diaghilev. Into the orchestral score, which featured jazz and cabaret tunes, were thrown typewriters, sirens and a pistol - just the kind of noises a wartime audience would normally pay not to hear. With its rigid cubist costumes by Picasso - which restricted Massine’s choreography - and a promotional push from Cocteau, it was provocative enough to secure Satie’s position at the vanguard of modernism.

Yet Satie was continually frustrated in his attempts to be accepted as an artist in high society France - his failure to establish himself at the prestigious Académie des Beaux-Arts, to which Debussy had won a scholarship, only compounded his resentment. Was this treatment by the cultural elite fair? Certainly his determination to antagonise his audience in his late ballets did little to endear him to the critics, but the fierce criticism he received in Paris was also a sign of things to come. Pierre Boulez would later poke fun at Satie’s lack of craft, while composer Jean Barraqué - another proponent of 12-tone music - would deride Satie as “an accomplished musical illiterate … who found that his friendship with Debussy was an unhoped-for opportunity to loiter in the corridors of history”.

Satie is perhaps, to this day, the most audacious and original composer when it comes to naming his works e.g. Gnossiennes and Gymnopédies. With Satie you will not see symphonies, concertos or opus numbers. Satie possessed a wicked sense of humour and his mockery, both of himself and others, became an inspiration for many of his irony-tinged works. His Sonatine bureaucratique is a spoof of Muzio Clementi’s Sonatina Op. 36 and contained many witticisms in the score. For example, he writes Vivache (vache being French for cow) instead of the original Italian tempo marking Vivace.

Whether in the collage-like miniature piano parodies he wrote during the World War I, his creation of a theatre format that has endured over the years, or in his collaboration with Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso y Sergei Diaghilev, there is a liveliness of imagination and a hunger for innovation that made Erik Satie In the torch bearer of the vanguard in his work. Satie would influence so many so strongly that years later some of his closest friends became radical artists, for example. ManRay, the sculptor Constantin Brâncusi, and Marcel Duchamp, or a much younger group of Paris-based composers like Les Six.

Satie, a known drinker of absinthe, and apparently every other alcohol available, died of cirrhosis at the age of 59 in Arcueil, France in July 1925. But his compositions, especially those deceptively simple-sounding solo piano works, find life today through recitals, concerts, and great movie scores. Although he died in poverty with little success to his name, today Erik Satie is acknowledged as a founder of 20th-century modernism, who changed the face of music.

Personally I do find Satie's music enriching, But I also find that his calculated wackiness is culturally apt. Pieces like ‘3 Pieces in the Shape of a Pear’, ‘Flabby Preludes for a Dog’ and ‘Desiccated Embryos’ rewardingly deflate Wagnerism's excesses in a characteristically French way.

not my gif!

A chilly December morning, snow dancing through the sky, the Barnes family was getting their cozy home ready for the upcoming holidays. Bucky was in the kitchen baking with one of the twins, Sarah. His wife was in a cleaning frenzy, cleaning every nook and cranny of the house and the other twin, Stevie, he was helping his mom clean up, manning the vacuum for her. They were hosting Christmas in their new house, they had bought it in November and had just finished making it into a home. They were excited but the two adults stressed out over the fact that they were having people stay over and they still had so much to do.

There were still boxes scattered around that Bucky had moved up to the attic for the time being, their picture frames still needed to be hung on the walls, their Christmas tree still hadn’t gotten put up yet, the bookshelf in the living room had only books on it and none of their family photos or sentimental knick-knacks. That was what Y/N was doing after she had finished cleaning. She enlisted the help of Stevie and the two of them got their sentimental items up in no time. When it came time to hang pictures, however, she knew she needed Bucky’s help for that. 

She was clumsy and was prone to injuring herself doing mundane tasks like putting on clothing. She knew that if she was going to be hanging pictures, she’d hit her hand with the hammer countless times before actually getting the nail in the wall. So, she made her way into the kitchen where Bucky and Sarah were at the counter, backs turned, mixing dough in the stand mixer. The two of them sporting matching braids, Bucky having a single french braid down the middle and Sarah having french braid pigtails. Y/N padded her way behind her husband, her arms snaking around his waist and her forehead resting on the center of his back.

“Hi mama, wanna help us make cookies?” Bucky asked his wife, his hands grabbing hold of her forearms, giving them a gentle squeeze.

“I’ll leave that to the professionals. When you’re all done, can you help me get the pictures up on the wall? I’m clumsy and Stevie can barely lift the hammer,” She replied, planting a kiss on the back of his left shoulder at the end of her sentence.

“I most certainly can help you, but you need to taste test our chocolate chips first. It’s your favorite recipe of mine, made them just for my girls.” Bucky had turned in his wife’s arms, holding a cooled chocolate chip cookie out for her to eat. She took a bite and nearly melted at the taste. Bucky had a way about making cookies, no matter what, they always turned out so flavorful and delicious. Of course she went in for another bite, then another, until the cookie was gone. Bucky let out a chuckle as he wiped the corner of her mouth with his thumbs. “I take that you liked them, see that princess? I told you mommy would love our cookies.”

“Of course I would, two of my favorite people in the whole world made them. Good job, my loves,” She turned to her daughter and started to whisper, “I know you did all of the hard work. They were the best cookies I’ve ever tasted.” She knew Bucky could hear her but she did that intentionally. Sarah’s little face lit up at her mother’s praise, giving her a big hug and a big kiss on the cheek. “I love you, princess. Why don’t you go help your brother get some of the decorations up? Give yourself a break from baking for a little while.”

“I love you too, mommy! I’ll make sure Stevie doesn’t mess up the garland like last year,” Sarah replied before rushing out of the kitchen to her twin. 

Bucky’s hands had now found their way to Y/N’s waist, resting right above her hips. Her arms had found their way around his neck, her hands messing with the end of his braid. He had grabbed her phone and changed the Christmas music that was playing to a playlist that Y/N had made when they first got married. It was a mix of songs that the two of them loved, songs that reminded them of each other, some of them were just some classic love songs. The first song that came on was a cover of an old classic, Can’t Help Falling in Love by Haley Reinhart. 

The two of them swayed gently to the music, getting lost in each other. Bucky had leaned down and connected their lips into a sweet kiss, only to get interrupted seconds later by their children fake vomiting at the sight. All that was heard the rest of the night was the laughter of the two children and their parents, holiday music playing throughout the house and the occasional suggestion from Alpine.

Cultural tradition

Paring: Agent Whiskey x Female Reader

Rating: +18

Warning: Brief implied smut.

A/N: Let's pretend I ain't late with this. I'll already apologize for any possible mistake related to Christmas celebrations in the USA because Google may have confused me a bit hahaha. This is based on the Christmas traditions we have here where I live (south of Brazil), but I believe it can work with any other cultural habit if you ignore a few details.

Main Masterlist | Cowboycember Masterlist

You always had wondered what it would be like to have your own Christmas night, at your house with people you really cared about, and that moment was finally becoming a reality.

Of course, you bugged Jack’s mind for a moment when you started to talk about your plans for December 24th, and only then did you remember that you two had been raised into different Christmas traditions.

“I understand that this might be confusing to you, but it’s so weird for me to just celebrate on the 25th.” You shrugged with a soft expression, playing with one of Jack’s hands.

“To be honest, I liked the idea of having celebrations.” He chuckled softly “I’m totally up to do it.”

“Fine!” you sounded excited “Then we’ll have to do some groceries tomorrow and I hope your barbecue skills are not rusty.”

“Barbecue?” Jack questioned with a raised eyebrow.

“Yes, because turkey ain’t an item of the party.” You answered calmly.

“This gonna be quite interesting.” Jack shook his head with a smile.

The further you got into the grocery list, the more confused Jack was while trying to realize what would be the result of it, since you bought some stuff he couldn’t promptly associate into any familiar recipe like rice, corn, peas, and short ribs.

As time passed in the kitchen, Jack could only get more interested as the whole dinner started to take shape. The peas and corn jointed with potatoes, mayonnaise, and a bit of parsley, turning into a salad; the rice would be cooked to be a side dish, and the short ribs having the barbecue grill as their destination, but not without you making Jack surprised and confused once more with your instructions to season the ribs only with coarse salt and nothing more.

“Honey, are you sure about this?” Jack questioned one last time with the salt jar in one hand, making you laugh.

“Yes, Jack. I’m sure, I’ve helped my father and watched my uncles do this a thousand times, I’m sure about what I’m telling you.” You affirmed while moving your attention from the onions you were cutting.

“If you say so…” he chuckled and started to add the salt to the ribs, then looking at what you were doing “What’s that?”

“Well, back home we call it vinaigrette, even though it has nothing to do with the French dressing.” You shrugged after finishing chopping the onions and added them to a bowl with chopped tomatoes, gently mixing them.

“Only gets more interesting.” Jack said sincerely.

Not that later, the guests showed up, your dear best friend, Ginger, Tequila, Jack’s parents and sister, and Theo, their dog. You were a bit worried if they would engage the idea when you made the invitations and all of them accepted without thinking twice, then suddenly you had been transported back to your child and teenagerhood, having a lot of people you loved and cared about sitting on the backyard and having a good time while drinking and eating.

You were prepared for any strangeness from them about the unusual meal, but as you listened to the compliments and saw the food you were sure would result in a bunch of leftovers disappearing, you couldn’t be happier for having been able to provide a good Christmas dinner for your family.

Which, for sure, included your cowboy.

Of course, you knew that Jack was a man of appetite, that soft stomach hadn’t appeared out of nowhere, but he definitely exceeded your expectations, eating everything as if it was the best thing in the world, probably because it tasted very much like that. He liked the food he had grown up eating on Christmas period, but something prepared by you with that whole emotional meaning would unquestionably be his favorite, what with the addition that everything on that dinner had hit right on his tastes was the recipe for a complete success.

“Finally, I can break free.” Jack said while watching the cars leaving the ranch, undoing his belt and opening the button of his jeans.

“Maybe you should try a non-vacuum-packed one next year.” You joked holding one short rib, finishing eating it.

“I’ll ignore your audacity because that dinner of yours was a masterpiece of food.” He shook his head and sat on the chair in front of you, taking advantage of the fact that you were sitting on the table to caress your thighs.

“Wise decision.” You chuckled and cleaned your hands on a napkin.

“I can’t with you sometimes.” He smirked and leaned forward to plant a kiss on the side of your knee.

“Daniels…” you sighed quietly as his lips moved further on your skin.

“C’mon, sugar, y’really didn’t expect me to want some dessert after such a good dinner?” Jack concluded his question with a nibble on your inner thigh.

“Can’t say you don’t have a good point.” You smiled already running your fingers on his hair and relaxing on the table, more than happy to be eaten out by your once more hungry husband.

Nymphaeaceae (Waterliles)

Waterlilies were among the first flowering plants (angiosperms) to evolve and they’re at least 125 million years old. If you build a pond, and you want a waterlily it’s recommended that you put it in a pot. If you plant it in the soil, it spreads by rhizomes, and pretty soon it will fill up all the available space. 

These photos were taken yesterday at Beaver Lake in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. Stanley Park was established in 1886 and, at 1001 acres, is one of the largest city parks in the world (Central Park in New York is 840 acres). Beaver Lake is a natural feature in the center of the park. Unfortunately, in 1936 fragrant waterlilies were introduced to celebrate the parks 50th anniversary. This is the result. 

Beavers returned to Beaver Lake in 2008 after an absence of sixty years. Beavers eat waterlilies but these beavers had better get busy. As you can see, waterlilies grow like a “weed’.

The team finds Emily in a compromising place.

The team was in Idaho, wrapped up a case with a good outcome leaving everyone in high spirits. Slipping away to the hotel bar to celebrate and blow off some steam. Hotch had retired 2 hours into the evening, giving an excuse of long hours and the high shelf scotch he was drinking making him sleepy. 

            Emily had made up an excuse of her head hurting an hour after that. Causing groans and various teasing remarks about how lame she was from JJ, Morgan, and Rossi. Reid had gone to his room only an hour after they ate opting to skip out on the booze and dancing. 

They had been dating a few weeks. Stolen moments in hotel rooms across the country. They were trying to keep it to their selves for a while. Give them time to explore what they had and enjoy it in ignorant bliss. It’s why she made her way to Hotch’s room instead of hers. Whispered plans to spend the night together in the precinct away from listening ears. 

He had been waiting for her, already showered and changed into an FBI issued t-shirt and black sweats. She had his room key, and he was absent mindedly flipping through a book on the bed when she let herself in. A wide grin spread across her face as he slammed the book and placed it on the nightstand beside him. 

Emily had barely gotten her shoes off when he met her in the middle of the room, his hands finding her face as he pulled her in for a fierce kiss. “Missed you,” whispered against his lips as she pulled his hips toward her. Already knowing how the night was going to end after having to be together but so far apart all week. She was craving him and knew he was craving her too. 

Hotch’s hands quickly found the curve of her ass, squeezing it as he lifted to place her on the bed. The need to bury his face between her legs almost overwhelming now that he had her near. Making quick work of her jeans as she stripped her shirt and bra off, throwing them somewhere in the room. 

He could see her glistening in the light, the wet spot on her panties letting him know she was waiting for this just as much as he was. Quickly pulling her to the edge of the bed as he sank to his knees. Letting his nose travel between her thighs as she let out a loud sigh and carded her hands through his hair. “Missed you so much baby,” he said against her core. The deep timbre of his voice against her making a shiver go down her spine. 

When he pulled her panties to the side and touched the tip of his tongue to her clit, she couldn’t stop the moan that came out of her if she tried. Her pussy throbbing as he wrapped his lips around it and sucked. Emily’s thighs squeezing around his head while he ate as if he was a man starved. “God, you taste so good Em,” he groaned against her. Making her orgasm rip through her when he curled two fingers inside. The pain from her gripping his hair causing his cock to throb angrily between his legs. 

He was shoving his sweats down his legs with his lips attached to hers when there was a knock at the door. Both springing apart with wide eyes. He quickly threw her his t-shirt with a finger to his lips as he made his way to the door looking through the peep hole. 

“Who is it?” Emily whispered as she jerked the shirt over her head, getting off the bed to go stand at the bathroom door so she couldn’t be seen. “The team,” he whispered back just as quietly as he flipped the lock. “Guys, is everything okay?” he said as he stood behind the door with just his head poked around. 

“Emily said she was going to bed, we knocked on her door and called her but there’s no answer,” Morgan said quickly as he took in Hotch’s appearance. His hair a mess like someone had run their fingers through it and shirtless. “We asked Garcia to track her phone, it says she’s here Hotch. Anything you want to tell us?” Rossi smirked from beside Morgan. “I uh-, I-“  Hotch stammered as he felt Emily’s hand on his side pulling him away from the door. 

Emily and Hotch watched as the three’s mouths dropped in unison. Their eyes taking in the appearance of both of them. Emily with his shirt on, barley coming to mid-thigh, her lips swollen, and hair mused. Hotch with his sweats hung low around his waist, shirtless with the fading imprint of someone’s teeth on his collarbone. Both of them smiling sheepishly as Emily wrapped her arms around his waist. 

“Oh Garcia is going to be so pissed she missed this,” came laughingly from JJ who was already pulling out her phone.

Mother and Son (Headcanons)

Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Dr. Lilac Allende)

Word count: 840

Premise: She spends some rare quality time with her son (Headcanons)

Author’s Note: Thank you to the beautiful @headoverheelsforramsey​ for requesting this. Sorry it took me this long to post!

Ethan gets them tickets to a trampoline park because if they’re going to bounce off the walls, he’d rather they do it away from all the glass decoration and picture frames they have around the house

He wishes that by “them” he meant Jonah and his sisters.

Instead, he means Jonah and his mother, who has all the energy necessary to keep up with the kid

Lilac and Jonah arrive at the trampoline park and immediately get to work.

They laugh and send Ethan tons of videos and pictures, each sillier than the previous one

An hour in, Jonah informs his mother that there is no way she can jump higher than him. (Because that’s true right? There’s no possible way a person his mother’s age can beat a ten year old kid who’s made it his sole mission to be the best at trampoline jumping)

“Ha!” his Mom laughs when she jumps almost as high as him

Jonah cannot believe his eyes. “You’re just as old as Dad and he can’t jump as high as me. Not even close. It’s kinda sad.”

“Just as old?”

Lilac feigns offense and dives into a nearby pit, aiming a foam block at her son with every intention of missing

“Take that back. Your father is eons older than me.”

Jonah laughs, picking up the foam block and aiming it at his mother. He misses on purpose too because he could never intentionally hurt his mom.

Lilac lets out an exaggerated gasp and gathers as many foam blocks as possible, preparing for what promised to be outright war.

But her pager goes off.

“We have to go to Edenbrook,” Jonah guesses, his voice so deadpan, he sounds a lot like Ethan.

Lilac’s heart hurts a little at how expertly her son hides his disappointment. A result, no doubt, from years of interrupted family outings.

Ethan and Lilac had always been adamant to separate their work from their family life. The time designated to their children was sacred and they fought very hard to keep work from seeping in.

However, now and then, a work emergency pulled one parent (or both) from the kids.

Lilac sighs, kneeling down to eye level with her son. “We can go get a chocolate lava cake after. I promise.”

That cheers him up a little.

When they arrive at Edenbrook, the nurses they pass in the hall fawn over Jonah, as is their custom. Tobias greets him by ruffling his hair and fist bumping him. Dr. McDaniel asks him about school. Harper embraces him and remarks how tall he seems to be getting with each passing day.

“Still want to be a surgeon?” she asks, as she always does.

Jonah nods enthusiastically.

Harper smiles fondly at him and sets up his favorite game, Operation, for him to play while the team meets.

It’s a fun game, but it gets boring after five minutes. It’s way more fun to play against his sister and beating her every time. Plus, it’s pretty funny to hear Dad grumbling in the background about surgeons.

As though sensing his boredom, his Uncle Bryce makes his way into the office, sending a silent greeting toward the team.

Jonah high fives him in greeting. “How did you know I was here?”

“You’re a celebrity, little Ram. You’re all Edenbrook can talk about as soon as you walk through the door.”

(Lilac paged him and begged him to keep her son company in between surgeries because Jonah adores him)

Grinning, they play several rounds, Jonah winning every single one.

It's the best because Uncle Bryce is an actual surgeon and if Jonah can beat him, then he can probably be a great surgeon some day.

“Duty calls,” Bryce says when his pager goes off. “I have to go scrub in.”

“Can I watch your surgery?”

His mother stops talking to her team, addressing Jonah sternly. “No.”

“That's okay, little Ram. Next time I'll teach you how to do surgery on an orange.”

This cheers him up.

Lilac walks over just then, the meeting over. “You two are determined to break my heart.”

“And Dad's.”

Lilac laughs and tickles her son in retribution.

It's too late to go back to the trampoline park by the time the meeting is over.

So Lilac keeps her promise of lava cake, watching her son carefully for any lingering signs of disappointment

Jonah shows none

But then again, the kid is so much like his dad that Lilac is not fully convinced

When they leave the café, the sugar rush is starting to affect her son because he all but hops toward the car

He stops, glances back at Lilac, and gives her the brightest grin

“I love you, Mom.”

He hugs her tightly.

It's all it takes for her to hold back her tears.

Because despite trying to be everything— a wife, a mom, a doctor, a leader— and sometimes feeling like she's doing everything halfway, her son's arms around her are the best reassurance.

“I love you, too, little bunny.”

Note II: Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate! And if you don’t, then happy Sunday! (In case no one has told you: I love you and I’m proud of you).

Devil's Night || Six Months Will Never Be Enough || Eddie Munson x Reader

Near the start of the 1985 school year, two teenagers meet, unaware of the firestorm headed their way in six months. 182 days. What would you do with that time?

Eddie Munson x Reader //  Fluff  //  Slow Burn  //  Will follow events of season 4

Parts

[oct] [ Devil's Night ] [nov] [dec] [jan] [feb] [mar]

Devil's Night. October 30, 1985 || Eddie POV

"I will only say this once, Mr. Munson. Do not, under any circumstances, incite Devil's Night1 celebrations in this town tonight."

"Yeah, uh, it was never in the plans–" Eddie straightened up in the uncomfortable worn-out chair in front of Principle Higgins' large wooden desk, intentionally the chair was short compared to the desk, it allowed the principal to look down at Eddie. This wasn't the first talking-to Eddie had received; usually they were to accuse him of something. The first sign of graffiti, vandalism of any kind around the school, Eddie was the first on the list to get hauled into Higgin's office for questioning. He was, after all, the town freak and the troubled Munson kid. All this trouble simply because he didn't fit the image of the all-American boy. 

"Detroit is practically our next door neighbours, and they saw up to 840 fires last year, the worst Devil’s Night on record. I don't want it to inspire you or your friends.” Higgins leaned in to emphasise his point. “Hawkins has seen enough tragedy this year."

"Look, man. I am not planning on partaking in some good old-fashioned arson. It will be a quiet night filled with popcorn and horror movies. That's all."

"And the rest of the Hellfire Club?"

Eddie caught a glimpse of the club crowding around the hall in front of the office windows. Usual suspects; Gareth, Jeff, and Grant2. With the pleasant addition of YN engaged in conversation with them. Every so often, Eddie caught her eyes flickering to him to see what was going on inside the office. The fact YN was there in his cheer section put a soft smile on Eddie's face as he turned his attention back onto Principle Higgins. "Absolutely not. They are just kids who like to play fantasy games. Not a malicious bone in their collective bodies."

"Alright, you can go to class," Higgins' suspicious eyes followed Eddie as he got up. The moment he opened the office door, the group turned to face him with varying degrees of frustration and worry. Eddie forced a rueful smile as his eyes landed on YN. A pang hit his heart. The last thing he wanted was to be why YNs little anxiety attacks flared up. 

"You worried about me, Duckie?" Letting the door close behind him, Eddie puffed out his chest as he pushed back his leather jacket to hike up his falling pants by the belt hoops at his sides. The nickname was stupid, but Eddie adored how she tried to hide a little smile and mock protest whenever he used it. Although it appeared she had started getting used to both him and the nickname. From what Eddie could gather over the past month of knowing the new girl, YN had straight-laced parents. They worked for the U.S. Department of State, and she went to uniform-wearing international schools most of her life. He chalked up her nervous demeanour around him to lack of exposure to hanging out with a group of metal-head, fantasy game-loving freaks. She was so shy and guarded that getting a read on her was difficult, but she seemed to be slowly coming out of her shell. YN had been hanging out most lunches with the group, and Eddie had grown accustomed to her tirades about proper code styling with Dustin at lunch. He respected the passion, similar to himself with Corroded Coffin and D&D, even though he had no damn clue what she was talking about half the time.

"Yeah, we all were. Higgins had a weird look to him when he pulled you away at lunch." Gareth interrupted, looking ready to battle with the principal if Eddie asked.

"Yeah, well, uh, he just wanted to make sure I was a good boy this Halloween." The playful smile fell a little with a heavy sigh as Eddie slowly turned on his heel and started walking in the direction of his locker. The ragtag crew of freaks and YN followed behind him. "He wanted to ensure I wasn't going to burn the place down tonight."

"Why tonight?" YN chimed in as she adjusted her bag strap on her shoulder and looked up at Eddie, adding a small skip to her step to help keep up with the taller boys.

"Tonight Devil's Night, YN." Gareth offered. YN looked back at Gareth, waiting for more of an explanation. 

"I-I have no idea what that's supposed to mean." She looked around at the boys surrounding her, looking for an answer in their faces.

"It's the night before Halloween where people play pranks. Like Egging, TP-ing a house or tree." Grant2  added, "Detroit and some other cities take it to another level though; they burn down abandoned buildings."

"I heard last year there were over 800 fires," Jeff added as he took YNs book out of her arm so she could freely adjust the bag's strap she had been fighting with, before taking the book back with a small 'thanks.'

"840 according to Higgins," Eddie offered, watching the interaction.

"Why? That doesn't make –"

"Sense?" Eddie interjected, "Not at all. It's just an American tradition that comes with Halloween." 

"Hm.."

"You did have Halloween where you lived, right?" Gareth shoved past Jeff leaning on her as he placed his arm on her shoulder.

"Well, we lived in England for a long time. Outside of the small Halloween parties at the international school, we didn't really, like, celebrate Halloween." Her brows furrowed, trying to remember last year's celebrations. "The big event was always Bonfire Night in November."

"Speaking of Halloween. The Hawk is playing Halloween tomorrow at 10. Who's in?" Eddie turned to face the group before him, looking for any sign of cowardice.

"I've never seen it; I'm in." YN looked around expectantly at the rest of the group. They responded with different levels of agreement. Eddie took a step towards her, bending over to put his hands on his thighs, bringing him down to eye level with YN, failing to hide a mischievous grin.

 "It might be a little scary for you, Duckie." The other boys around him laughed as Eddie pulled back

YN tried to hide her cheeky smile by pursing her lips, but it wasn't working. "Bite me, Munson." YN pushed past him as the bell rang, signifying the end of lunch. His eyes widened for a moment at her words. His hand involuntarily reached for his left arm as he slowly turned to watch her leave. A trail of heat and goosebumps slowly spread up his arm where YN placed her hand to push him out of her way. 

"Don't ask for something you're not ready for." He called after her as she walked down the hall. Eddie could have sworn he saw her tense up at his words; her walking speed, without a doubt, picked up. Eddie turned to face three behind him, who shared knowing glances as they all tried to hide their grins and giggles. Eddie pushed himself from the wall of lockers, shaking his head. "Shut up." 

This tipped them over the edge. The guys burst into laughter as they walked a half step behind Eddie. 

October 31, 1985. || Eddie POV

"What? Don't you like it?" Eddie cackled as he twirled the tail of his newly acquired lion costume3 while he strutted towards the group. The guys were practically on all fours, killing themselves laughing at the spectacle Eddie was putting on. YN stood in the middle of the other three, hands over her mouth frozen in place from when Eddie jumped out of the back of his van in the theatre parking lot, scaring the shit of them. Tears were running down her cheeks from laughing so hard. 

The costume came from a  chest that was buried in the clutter in the drama room where Hellfire met every Friday night. Eddie came across it while clearing away space for the D&D table a few weeks back and knew it was perfect for this year's Halloween events. Admittedly it was a little small for him. Eddie's arms and legs were only covered ¾ of the way. Still, thankfully the scraggly lion mane was separated from the rest of the costume so he could still wear it as a hat with a velcro clasp under his chin. However, it was missing its left ear; the outfit had undoubtedly seen better days. His actual hair wasn't cooperating, poked out round his cheeks, and was extra frizzy around the bottom as static claimed victory. The added Munson-touch of his battle jacket overtop of the costume guaranteed two things; more laughs from the group and ensured he would sweat his balls off the whole movie.

Authorities in South Korea are preparing a clampdown on drugs after a gang allegedly gave spiked energy drinks to children, telling them it would help with their schoolwork.South Korea has reacted with both shock and fury after it was reported that a group of drug dealers was deliberately targeting children with drinks that contained methamphetamine. The suspects apparently told children "energy drinks" would help them study better.

The case took an even more alarming turn when it was reported that the crime group was also blackmailing the children's parents with the threat that they would report the families to police. The gang, made up seven Koreans and Chinese, demanded 100 million South Korean won (around E69,000, $75,500) from one parent before the police were called in.

Drug crime at an all-time high

"This is a deeply shocking incident," said Hyobin Lee, an adjunct professor of politics and ethics at Chungnam National University (CNU). "Although I recognize that Korea is no longer a drug-free country, it is truly surprising that drug crime is now even affecting minors."

And while the most recent incident appears to be a case of children in Seoul's wealthy Gangnam district being hoodwinked by dealers, Lee believes young Koreans are being influenced by the behavior of the rich and famous in society.

"The number of drug offenses has exceeded 10,000 cases per year since 2015," she told DW. "I think the increase in drug-related crimes by celebrities and drug abuse by Koreans who live abroad has now spread to the general public."

Last year, the number of arrests for selling or possession of illegal was at all-time high with 18,395 cases. With more than 2,600 arrests in the first two months of 2023, that record is likely to be broken.

High-profile actor Yoo Ah-in was arrested in March after testing positive for a cocktail of drugs, including cannabis, ketamine, cocaine and propofol, with K-pop composer and television celebrity Don Spike charged in September with using methamphetamine. Police in May raided a cannabis farm in western Seoul and seized more than 13 kilos (29 pounds) of the drug with a street value of 281.7 million won.

Launching of new narcotic unit

The South Korean government has now declared an all-out war against drug crimes.

President Yoon Suk-yeol addressed a cabinet meeting on Tuesday and ordered his ministers to stamp out drug abuse, with a particular focus on teenagers. Yoon said he found it personally "alarming" that young people are able to obtain illegal narcotics easily.

"A decade ago, Korea had a status as a drug-free country thanks to coordination between law-enforcement agencies, such as prosecutors, the police, the coast guard, health authorities and customs officials," Yonhap News quoted Yoon as telling his ministers.

"But at some point, the government became complacent in a way that illegal drugs began to destroy not only ordinary people's minds, but also the hopes and dreams of our younger generations."

The government this week announced the establishment of a new narcotics investigation unit, made up of 840 officials drawn from across government agencies, to enforce measures against drug crime that were introduced late last year. The new measures included a crackdown on online adverts for illegal narcotics and restrictions for doctors prescribing large doses of legal drugs.

Authorities are stepping up anti-drug education and increasing penalties for drug crimes. Yoo Gyeong-joon, a politician with the ruling People Power Party on April 14 proposed a bill that will permit courts to pass the death penalty on drug dealers who sell narcotics to children.

"The question is not whether the bill is too extreme or not, but whether it is viable," said Lee. "I do not think it can be enacted because first-time drug offenders usually end up with fines or probation."

"I think we should do more to educate minors," she added. "Currently, schools educate students on the dangers of smoking and drinking, but not about drugs. Education on the dangers of narcotics should be rushed out to students and the general public."

South Korea is not a 'dystopia'

David Tizzard, an assistant professor of education at Seoul Women's University and a newspaper columnist, notes that drug abuse is still a relatively minor problem and that Korea remains a safe country. "The recent incident involving children and drugs in Gangnam was horrific," he agreed. "Naturally, there was widespread condemnation and the authorities have moved quickly to investigate the incident."

"The worry is, however, that people in other countries will see this and it will immediately reinforce their images of Korea and other Asian countries as a techno-orientalist dystopia inhabited by unhappy people and filled with tragic cases such as these."

Tizzard points out that, in reality, there is little in the way of anti-social behavior on the streets. Parks and public areas are not full of graffiti and drug paraphernalia, university students do not come into class stoned or walk around in a daze, and parents do not worry about their teenage children getting into drugs or violence, he said.

"This story is news because it's so rare and stands out in a society which is otherwise relatively free of widespread drug problems when compared relatively to Europe or North America," he added, warning that such reports can "create a false image in the minds of those who don't live and work here."

Party Fun | Shuri

Summary: Tony threw a party to celebrate being friends with Wakandans, but in the middle of the party Shuri gets hungry for something only you can give her.

Word Count: 840

Author's note: okay, this turned out, very differently than I wanted, but I think I like it.

Tony was throwing a party to celebrate friendship with Wakandans and of course Shuri was invited. She wanted you to accompany her, so you were now standing in your black and purple dress that Shuri bought you.

You loved it. It looked so elegant and beautiful. Yet it felt wierd to wear her colors. This was the first time you and Shuri went to public together.

You were nervous, but excited at the same time. You looked in the mirror checking yourself when Shuri wrapped her hands around your waist and hummed in your ear "You look fabulous, princess".

"Thank you" you answer and she kisses your back softly. "We should go" she says, takes my hand and we leave for the party.

_.oOo._

We arrived at the party. It was so fancy and elegant. Even the champagne tastes expensive. There was a lot of people, when we entered the main room everyone looked at us.

Some were shocked that Shuri had a company and some smiled at you when they saw your hands holding. She immediately squeezed your hand a little and whispered in your ear.

"It's okay, I'm here, you're safe, princess. We can go somewhere where is less people if you want?" You squeeze her hand back and shake your head. "No, I'm fine. I've got this."

_.oOo._

For the past hour Shuri was greeting, thanking everyone and having a small talks with people.

"Let's go somewhere private, I got a little thirsty" she said quietly so no one could hear her. "But the drinks are over the-" you got interrupted by her tongue on your earlobe.

"I meant a different drink...the one only you can give me" Your pupils got wide when you realized what she meant. She smiled at your reaction and lead you to somewhere where you couldn't hear the people anymore.

The room we entered looked like office. "Sit on the desk, my sweet girl." Shuri ordered with domineering tone.

You quickly sat on the desk. She sat in the chair in front of it. "Spread your legs and take off your panties." you wanted to tease her a little, so you did everything slowly.

She leaned back in the chair looking at your core. "You look so tasty, my love." she picks up your left leg and slowly trails kisses from your ankle to your inner thigh ending so close to your throbbing core not giving it any attention. She does the same with your right leg, your arousal only getting bigger.

"Are you wet for me, princess?" she asks as she touches your already wet lips with her finger. "You're so wet for me. Almost dripping." she smirked and inserted one finger, finger fucking you slowly.

"Do you like that?" she questions already knowing the answer, because of your sweet sounds. You nod your head and bite your lip when she inserts another finger. "Don't bite your lip, let me hear you, my sweet girl." she demands and fingers you faster hitting more spots.

You clench around her fingers and stops, you whine at the empty feeling, your orgasm slowly fading. "Do you wish to come?" You nod rapidly. "Do you think you deserve to come?" then you realize what this is about.

It's about three days ago, you teased her the whole day in the lab, but didn't let her do anything always with words "I'm busy, right now, I need to finish it". She knew that you did this on purpose, but you didn't think that she would wait that long to punish you. You kinda thought she forgot about it, but you should've expected that the punishment will come one day.

"Please" you whine, but she only leans back in her chair and doesn't touch you. "See? It's not very nice to tease and deny people. Is it, my love?" You shake your head 'no'. "Then why did you do it? You thought it's fun?" You nod your head. "Words, sweetheart." she demands. "I thought it will be fun." you look at the floor while says that.

You then feel her fingers on your chin, turning your head to look at her. "I hope you learnt your lesson and won't do it again, because if you do, there will be much worse punishment."

She then buried her head between your legs. "Now I finally want the drink." she hums

s against your core sending vibrations. She bites on your clit and thrusts her tongue in you. Curling it every was possible making you see stars already.

She circles your clit when she feels you clenching. "come for me, my sweet girl" that sends you over the edge and you come in her mouth. She eat you out not leaving a drop to waste. "mhmm, you taste amazing my love"

You want to get dressed up but can't find your panties. "No panties, princess. If I'll want to take you again tonight I don't want anything to stop me." she wipes her mouth and leaves the room with you...
