I FOUND THIS STRANGE OLD MAN ON MY LAWN
Note:
(Unknown if this is cannon in the Rope MF timeline)
HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS LOST AND NEEDED HELP FINDING HIS WAY BACK
SO I AGREE TO HELP HIM
AND WHILE WE WERE WALKING HE TOLD ME ABOUT HOW HE IS A WAR MAN, A LEADER AND FOUNDER OF SOMETHING
I DON’T REMEMBER!
AND WITH WAR BEING ALL ABOUT SURVIVAL
I TOLD HIM THAT ROPES ARE GREAT TOOLS IN SURVIVAL SITUATION
BECAUSE IT’S TRUE!!!
DID YOU KNOW ROPES CAN BE USED AS A MAKESHIFT SLING FOR YOUR ARM?
IT CAN ALSO BE USED TO BUILD SHELTERS
IN MANY WAYS!!!
IF YOU HAVE A TARP, YOU CAN TIE IT BETWEEN TWO TREES AND PUT THE TARP ON TOP OF IT. AFTER THAT, YOU SPREAD THE ENDS OF THE TARP TO MAKE A TENT SHAPE AND NAIL OR HAVE SOMETHING HEAVY TO KEEP THE CORNERS DOWN
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A TARP, YOU CAN GATHER A BUNCH OF TWIGS AND USE TWO TWIGS TO MAKE A TRIANGLE SHAPE FROM THE GROUND TO TOUCHING EACH OTHER AND DO THE SAME ON THE OTHER SIDE, MAKE SURE THE TOP OF THE TRIANGLE CROSSES EACH OTHER A BIT. AFTER THAT PLACE A TWIG ON TOP OF BOTH TRIANGLE AND TIE A ROPE WHERE THE TWIGS TOUCH. AFTER THAT USE THE REST OF THE TWIGS TO FILL THE EMPTY SPACE BETWEEN EACH END OF THE SHAPE. USE LEAVES, OR ANY MATERIALS (I PREFER ROPES) TO COVER THE TOP AND TO COVER ANY HOLES THAT SHOWS THEMSELVES.
IT COULD BE USED TO SUSPEND YOUR FOOD IN THE AIR, SO IT MAKES IT HARDER FOR WILDLIFE TO STEAL YOUR FOOD.
YOU CAN ACHIEVE THIS BY-
(The rest was cut off.
Simplified: you can also use ropes to fish, make snow shoes, build floating vessels, start fires, and make snares.)
WHILE I WAS TALKING ABOUT ROPES, HE INTERRUPTED ME!
WHICH IS VERY RUDE BY THE WAY!
I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TALKING ABOUT ROPES!!!
HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT NEEDING TO GO TO THE BATHROOM AND THEN STARTED RUNNING
HE’S BEEN GONE FOR A WHILE
I’M TYPING THIS WHILE HE’S GOING
IF I’M BEING HONEST HERE,
HE’S VERY LOUD.

WHATEVER. *gets rid of your issues*
magnolia makes home decorations to pass time on a summer evening.
tags: fluff, sfw, romance, magnolia x dove, everything’s good! au, they’re all british suddenly (not sure how that happened).
830~ words.
.˚: ⁎⁺・。✽˚.: *⁎ ゚
peachy yellow sun rays were filling the terrace, licking the rails, falling on the table, the floor, creating a patchwork of light and dark. magnolia was sitting in her armchair, padded by pillows on all sides. she frowned as she pulled a string through the stitches. it’s supposed to be a toy horse. a simple pattern, two identical cutouts sewn together, filled with some scrap fabric and dried herbs. those sat on the table next to her, prepared beforehand. she already meticulously pinned the tiny pieces of cloth together, and now was attaching them to each other, conducting even more care.
with a muffled noise the door to the porch opened. someone softly walked up to magnolia and tried to peek at the work in her hands from behind. they were unsuccessful, as the chair’s back was taller than them by a good four inches.
— mum, what’s the thing you’re making?
magnolia glanced at her son, who was now standing next to her with a curious expression on his face.
— a toy. it’s a pony.
mint nodded frantically. — and what’s that in the punnet? smells nice.
— filling.
— ...like for a dumpling?
magnolia couldn’t think of an answer.
— can i play with it when it’s done? oh, can i give it a name? maybe it should be dumpling. herb dumpling… that’s a teabag!
magnolia raised one brow slightly and stared in the forest outside of their small house. some bird leaped from one tree to another and chirped a brief tune. the dark green, teal foliage was softly swaying in the breeze.
— you can. but afterwards i would like to hang it near a window, so it smells nice in the room, alright?
— sure thing! mum, i’ll go grab a chair for myself, i’m going to sit with you while you work! — mint rushed away, inside the house, the little sprout on the top of his head bouncing in a funny manner as he did so.
she sighed quietly and looked at the trees again. now that she got distracted, she remembered wanting to drink something. a good cup of tea would be nice right about now.
in her opinion, summer evenings are best spent quietly tending to your interests, bonus points if the people who’re dear to you are near. then stargazing when it gets late enough; a clear sky far away from the city lights really is the greatest.
suddenly, she felt a light touch on her shoulder.
— magnolia... i brought you some tea with biscuits.
magnolia turned her head to the side and saw dove holding a small tray with a kettle, three cups, and a saucer with bourbons.
she put the tray on the table and leaned down to kiss her wife. immediately, magnolia felt something warm flood her stomach, and legs, and arms, something fuzzy fill her head and make her shut her eyes.
…
— mint, you really should put something warmer on, it’s getting chilly. — dove already straightened up and was reprimanding mint, who just entered with a stool in his hands.
— but mom! i’m not a tiny boy anymore, i won’t get sick so easily!
— right. yes, you will. you can take the blanket from the couch and have it over yourself while you’re outside, that would be fine enough.
mint didn’t make a sound, but magnolia just imagined how he’s pouting, as if deeply offended by someone caring for him.
— thanks. — she took one of the cups, waited for dove to pour the golden tea in it, and took a sip.
— it’s very nice.
dove smiled softly, a twinkle lit up in her blueish grey eyes.
she leaned on the table, half sitting on it, and turned her head to the setting sun, barely visible behind the thick greenery.
mint came back to the terrace, now wrapped in a light purple knitted blanket. being careful not to trip on it, he walked up to his mums and attempted pouring himself some tea. dove immediately sprang up, ready to help, but magnolia was able to hold her hand back.
mint battled the heavy blanket for a minute but, soon enough, there were two more cups filled with the hot, steaming drink.
— thank you. — dove smiled again, and magnolia unintentionally got lost looking at her.
— so, how’s the horse coming along?
magnolia was pulled back to the real time.
— i’m almost done, just need to add the insides… and attach a string. for hanging.
dove picked up one of the teacups and a biscuit.
— we’ll stay with you while you’re on it.
magnolia involuntarily grinned, more with one side of her face than the other.
…
— also, hey, magnolia?
— hm?
— i love you.
— love you too mummy! — mint turned from fidgeting with the blanket and blinked at magnolia.
now the entirety of her face was suffused with ruddines.
— love you too,
