re watched fiona and cake and suddenly got an idea

Professor Two Brains au! :3.

Steven still fuses with squeaky for a while he struggles to control his cheese craving however he finds a way to get rid of his craving for cheese. >:33333 (Winter King gave me this idea XDD)

Word girl is gone in this au. no one knows what happened to her or captain huggy face. it's a touchy topic for Professor T.B.

Professor T.B. is a hero unlike his OG counterpart. he has a team of smart mice as henchmen (or henchmice XD) and uses his gagdets to save the day

still has Charlie and joey (the other henchman) around

since two brains is the hero...who is the villain? well that's where Miss Static comes in. zany TV hostess who kidnaps people to put in her show ill reveal more later since spoilers >:3c iykyk shhhhh no spoiling guys

other doodles in under cut

the parallels between simon and steven (even more sepfically my @wordgirlnextgen au steven <3) and betty and my oc, carrie not to mention voice claims

Look how incredible what appeared on my tl ❤️

some facts about tom blyth:

did therapy.

he has a motorcycle.

he used to draw, learning how to use oil colors and mixing paint would be a feasible hobby to fit in between concerts.

in an interview he said: "i like the idea of doing something that scares me because that's where you learn the most."

his teenage (and ironic) fear of snakes derived from Indiana Jones and the unknown terrors that lurk in deep waters were conquered through exposure therapy.

he is studying and learning to speak Italian for his next film.

the mix of teenage angst, self-loathing and mischief has been processed in therapy. Now that you have competent knowledge, confidence and experience, acting has become more of something you can experiment with, learn from and expand on.

for Tom, acting used to be a form of escape. In an interview he talked about it: "i love accents, costumes, anything that takes me further away from myself because before I simply wanted to be anything but myself."

Donald Sutherland was actually one of his favorite characters in the original films of 'the hunger games'. In an interview he spoke about him and said: "i think he is one of the best villains in modern cinema."

Maya Hawke and Tom met at the Juilliard audition, the first time they started talking was at a school question and answer session.

he always creates a playlist for each character he's playing.

he gets a little camera shy when playing himself.

his passion for acting was influenced by his father, although he did not spend much time with him because he died when he was young.

during the pandemic, Tom was living in a cabin in the woods upstate, and he got up at 8 a.m. every day to chop wood for the wood stove to stay warm. "I was living this kind of lonely life and auditioning every day and just looking for the right job."

he loved western movies when he was a child.

at the premiere of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, in Los Angeles. After he took off his oversized jacket, exposing his arms, Rachel Zegler spent the next day sending him messages about the "thirst trap."

his favorite rom-com movie is 'When Harry Met Sally'.

The man who you are T.B 🫶

Thank you for sharing! I love a man who improves and strives to be better. And let’s be honest, every man needs self improving.

What’s that meme? “I think all men should start off in jail and prove their way out” 👀

We need a motorcycle pic! And I want to see his art. Honestly, he needs to hand over his phone and I’ll do the rest 🤭

How do you think the different Sarah characters would react around you (the reader) if they had a crush on you?? <3

crush// the sarahs

pairings; the sarahs seasons 1-10, gender neutral reader

rating; pg-13

warnings; mention of masturbation

BILLY DEAN HOWARD...murder house

she would be nonchalant about it

sly glances, soft smiles your way. just friendly stuff

no one would suspect that she had a crush on you

she wouldn't make anything obvious

she wouldn't even call it a crush

she would call it a fond admiration to anyone that asks

she knows everything about you

she writes everything you tell her in a small memo book, and studies it

that way, when it comes up in a conversation anytime later, she'll know exactly what to say

she knows your favorite movie, book, flower, brand, down to your favorite hairstyle.

LANA WINTERS...asylum

she would get giddy every time she's around you

smile-y and nervous, red in the face and fidgety

she's just about as schoolgirl as you can get

she'd go as far as writing "mrs lana [last name] in every paper she owned, experimenting with fonts and combinations of last names.

lana winters, lana [last name], lana winters-[last name], lana [last name]-winters

she would be much too nervous to make the first move, though

you would have to ask her

she would never embarrass herself like that

CORDELIA GOODE...coven

cordelia would be a lot like lana

giddy and excited every time she saw you, the equivalent to a schoolgirl

she would put rose quartz in her bra and panties to make herself seem more attractive to you

she would conduct spells and manifest your relationship, putting the puzzle pieces together one by one, spell by spell

she would adjust her style to match yours, making her seem more approachable to you

she would do anything for you

BETTE AND DOT TATTLER...freakshow

bette would do anything for you

dot would tell her to stop being so obvious about it

though it is technically incest, they don't see it that way

they don't see their conjoined sister when they think about loving you

they stay out of each other's head when it comes to you

dot would be entirely devoted, even moved to kill for you

bette would be the equivalent of a schoolgirl, going as far as to think of baby names

dot would roll her eyes at her sister, but secretly do the same in her own diary

SALLY MCKENNA...hotel

she would do anything for you

when i think of her pining for you, i come up with the idea that as you fall in love with the residents of the hotel (as a resident yourself), she kills them off one by one. the more she kills, the more heartbroken you are. she uses this heartbreak to her advantage, and in the end, you fall for her

she would kill for you, even if she had to kill them over and over in order to make the ghost-process take longer and longer.

meaning she would kill them until they were dead-dead

she would secretly watch everything you do, often times masturbating next to you in bed while you sleep, sure that you can't see her

she confides in liz, who supports her no matter what she does

"get the girl, bitch." liz told her

AUDREY TINDALL...roanoke

audrey would just out and say it

she would just walk right up to you and tell you how she felt the moment she felt it

no bullshit

that's it!

ALLY MAYFAIR RICHARDS...cult

she would use intimidation

subtle, but she would

she wouldn’t make it obvious

but that’s it!

WILHEMINA VENABLE...apocalypse

venable would pine

for sure

of course she would

she would go as far as killing for you

she would write poems for you, and leave them under your door at outpost nine, leaving them unsigned

you would wonder who left it, but you wouldn’t ask around

you would just read it, smile, and put it in a small shoebox that was left in your closet

by the time michael arrived, the shoebox was almost completely full

T.B KAREN...red tide

she would think that she doesn’t stand a chance

she would believe that you’re too good for her, and wouldn’t even try

she wouldn’t even believe that she liked you

Happy WBW! In honor of Idalia and her looming approach on the SouthEast US, what is the most dangerous natural threat to your world?

Good Question.

Well I device an idea on how to rank the supernatural threat on my IF.

For the Supernatural Creatures we have the following types. (T stands for Type and the next letter corresponds to their power level or danger)

TS: In here you got the most epic of a kind monstos, Alpha leaders of a pack, Ancient leader of a vampire clan, etc. Basically the top chain of a certain archetypes of supernatural. Put here the Archangels and top tier-demons and devils(Note: Demons and Devils are not the same)

TA- Second Danger level, think of them as the right hand man/woman of the T.S. You got Betas(Thinking of a better name honestly) Vizier(Vamp lieutenant), then it depends on the monster capability

TB- Then the 3rd dangerous level that the team can face, not that powerful nor that weak. It said that this types were granted powers(More like perks or power-ups) by the T.A so not ever underestimated for they're crafty and unpredictable.

TC&TD: Now we have reached the final two, the weakest of them all. This types are likely to be troublesome for not the power they posses but for being annoying. We got here goblins, changelings, fairies, ghouls, strays, etc. Basically its your unlucky day when you faced this a waste of time and energy.

Although there are rumors of this beings possessing treasure and wisdom that if your cunning and smart enough they can bestow it to you as a reward for besting them. Oh also trolls and ogres, can't forget about those classics.

Then we below the Types we have the Code Level

Code Moon: A gatherings of supernatural that can either be beneficial or harmful to mankind. The top level threat that can blare back in HQ. When this is on show, you better prepare and keep up your guard. Mostly T.S , T.A, and T.B are present on the vicinity.

Code Set: Cut from the word "Sun-set" Code set is a 2nd level danger zone, think of it as the calm before the storm. Mostly T.A and T.B are present but T.B's being in abundant and the T.A's wanting to make their selves scarce and letting the henchmen do all the heavy lifting.

Code Break: Not too easy nor not to hard, it mostly tackles wolf stays that got turned and going mad from being pack less or from the primal instinct to hunt and maul fresh meat. Ghouls where vampires failed at their rebirth and transformed into zombified vampies.

Or another case is a kid playing summoner with the dark arts and end up opening a portal from the underworld(Believe it or not it happened frequently, Damn kids and their curiosities) Expect T.C and T.D types of encounter and either contain to dispose threats are the mission here.

Code Sun: Ahh the Sun, the missions here a walk in the park. Delivering some package to a Fae Lord, escorting a dwarf princess to a neighboring kingdom as a peace tribute, solving a riddle of pixies to lift up their hex or just purifying some haunted house. A typical clean up job for the crew and most of the time chilling and you can do it with your eyes closed and hands tied behind your back.

So I hope this answer your question Tori and for my Readers out there. Don't worry I will be putting this info on the Codex and bear it to mind that the info here might be subject to change due to I'm still thinking on how to make more supernatural immersive.

#TTA #thank you for the ask #aspiring author #ask me anything #danger days #danger levels #supernatural #level up #scaling

Ooc : So, I was looking through old drawings and found this unfinished comic that I believe I started around the time when Ivan figured out he was Trans, but hadn't picked out a chosen name, so we just called him "T.B." during that time period. If I remember correctly, the comic would have been about Misra giving Ivan a bracelet she made for him that had the yarn of the bracelet in the Trans flag colors or something. I never finished it, though, and looking back, I think I was a bit hopeful in trying to create wholesome moments about the siblings. However, I do feel like it also marks when my art style started to become more complex and less bobble-head like.

That comic idea is so cuttee. Misra totally has like an entire drawer dedicated to bracelet making and weaving. She's a super supportive sibling even if it's a little because she can now openly say she's the hottest girl in her family without making Ivan agitated. I've been wanting to do something more with these characters but I have no idea what.

Seriously though, thanks for the support and all that. I appreciate knowing that people genuinely like my characters and their dynamics and what not.

Just for fun, have some random tidbits and trivia about With a Little Help From My Friends. Much like the fic itself, this list got quite long, so I’m putting it under the cut…

I don’t write nearly enough about Eddie and Robin’s friendship, but in both ch 8 and ch 24 when Eddie is in dire straits, Robin is literally the first person he thinks of that he can go to for help.

In ch 10 while Eddie and Max are at the store, he’s debating between Red Vines and Twizzlers, eventually choosing Twizzlers. Later in ch 26 Max says Twizzlers are her favorite candy. And yes, it’s totally because of him.

In ch 12, all that stuff about Temple Grandin and the cows is true. And it totally seemed like something Suzie would just know, and Dustin would eagerly research because he wants to help his bestie.

When I wrote ch 22– the Jason in Pennhurst visited by a vision of El chapter— I had totally forgotten about how Jason kicked Gareth’s ass, but looking back and adding that tidbit to El’s motivations in keeping Jason exactly where he is gives it an extra zesty flavor.

Ch 28, the drabble where Wayne finally makes things official with Claudia, is probably the hardest I’ve ever laughed while writing.

Ch 33 contains a little drabble about Eddie and Chrissy just relaxing in a hammock together, and I honestly think it might be one of the best things I’ve ever written.

In ch 41 Steve probably seems pretty OOC at the beginning. That was deliberate— he’d just gotten back from spending a ton of time with his parents, and no longer has any idea who he actually is. By the end of ch 42 he’s getting back to his real self.

Also in ch 41 Steve refers to Grant as “T.B. Player” purely for a little in-joke with my own self regarding the movie That Thing You Do!, where the bass player never gets a name throughout the entire movie despite being a main character with lots of lines, and in the end credits is listed as T.B. Player. Justice for unnamed freak!

The part in ch 61 where first Eddie and then Steve are teaching Gareth to dance is one of my favorite scenes. If I could draw, I would’ve drawn it!

In ch 63– Will’s letters to Jonathan— I didn’t include Jonathan’s letters back because I just could. not. get his voice right. Jonathan, Nancy, Lucas, Mike, and ironically Steve are the characters that I have the hardest time getting into their heads. I love them all to bits but that’s why I rarely write their pov’s.

Ch 64 was a tough one for me to write and I’m not sure I managed to strike the right balance between Party shenanigans/hellcheer wedding planning vs Robin’s very real fears regarding her parents’ reaction to finding out she was dating Vickie. If I could rewrite the whole fic, this would be the chapter I’d start with. BUT, one thing I liked about it was Steve repairing the crocheted blanket just so Robin could unravel it again. In the Lostsoul Universe, many Party members have told Steve “I love you” but the only time he ever says it back is in this chapter, to Robin. Poor dude.

Ch 66 might seem way OTT but I stand by it. Because it happened to me.

I wrote ch 73 for the sole purpose of giving Eddie a kitten named Lucifer Dio. (Lucy for short!) He absolutely gives cat dad energy.

In ch 79 we find out how Henry Creel became Vecna. Dr. Brenner gave him an experimental drug I called “exousía”. This was a very deliberate choice. Exousía is a Greek word meaning power/control/dominion— all the things Brenner was so hungry for. I based this on googling the word “Soteria” (the implant in Henry’s neck) and discovering that it was an actual Greek word with the meanings of deliverance/healing/salvation. Food for thought!!! Honestly I was a little sad that nobody picked up on how clever I’d been with that name 🙄😂 but that was a really long chapter with a lot going on so it’s understandable.

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have or just holler at me!

6. Wolf/Tuck Live with D'arcy Carden and Paul Scheer

Plot summary:

Jordan and Sharon are two teens that are sort of in love with each other. Jordan doesn't really understand consent and that's the main reason Sharon doesn't want to be with him. In the meantime, a bunch of teens are hanging out with their old man friend Todd Benji (or T.B) for short) who smokes a lot of weed, watches Twin Peaks, and has a van with a unicorn in a KKK hood on it. It's called the Clan Van. He's probably racist. Back to the woods, Jordan comes across 3 wolves disguising themselves as little girls and they explain consent to him, but wolf consent. They then eat him. A bunch of parents from the camping trip go to home depot look for weapons to kill the wolves. T.B. says the wolf man cleared all the wolves out of town but the wolves came back. The kids want to find the grave of the wolf man but T.B. says that's a horrible idea because he's long dead. Eventually he gives up and the kids all pile into his car to go find the guy who killed the wolf man and try to kill him with a George Foreman grill. The kids figure out that T.B. actually is the wolf man and all talk about how badly they want to fuck him. T.B. admits he's the wolf man and immortal and the kids accept him for who he is. The paint on the Clan Van peels away and it's revealed that it actually says Wolf Man Van and the unicorn is actually a wolf holding up two peace signs and saying black lives matter. The wolf man hollers with his magical collar and turns all the wolves back into good wolves. The kids and T.B succeed and the wolves and humans lived side by side together.

Best quotes:

• "That's what this show is by the way"

"An hour of party cats"

• "Well I realized that I'm just like an animal, you know? But like an animal that wears clothes. Like a Muppet"

• "I'm not saying we kill 'em I'm just saying we look at them when they're dead!"

• "As an actor, I thought that a wolf is social media, and that's the metaphor we were doing"

Best songs:

• I Hate Home Depot

Thoughts overall:

The show began with party cats. If you dont know what I'm talking about you should go listen to this episode. Jess McKenna sure knows how to make the ladies swoon. Also this is the episode where the infamous "You Touched My Boob" song came from. I loved this episode so much more than I did the first time and I think it's because I just adore D'arcy Carden

#off book podcast #jess mckenna #off book #jessica mckenna #zach reino #zach and jess #zachary reino #d'arcy carden #paul scheer #ep 6 #off book episode 6 wolf/tuck with d'arcy carden and paul scheer #wolf/tuck #wolf/tuck? more like wolf/fuck

Here's something, while I'm deep diving into the Sacred Texts™ (my 200+ old headcanons). Something that's present but not directly addressed in the text of the movie is Margarethe + the Gaze. I talked about this here on my old blog.

The tl;dr of those bullet points is that the gaze of the camera, as well as the gaze of Margarethe herself, is always utilized to emphasize Margarethe's separation, isolation, and to a certain extent, voyeurism. Her entrance into the movie shows us her back before it shows us her face. When she turns to face the camera, she is wearing a literal veil of netting.

Even at this moment of apparent revelation, there is a layer between Margarethe and the viewer. The distance between us and the character is emphasized by (as I've harped on many times) the fact that, canonically, she has no first name. We only know/relate to her through her marital and familial relationships. There is always a sense of separation between us and her core.

The emphasis on distance, veiling and seeing is a part of the treatment of original Tremaine, as well. She, too, is a voyeur separated from the heart of family life, caught on the outside (or in this case, on the inside) and apart from the world of Ella and her father.

(The idea of her being trapped inside the house is a big part of Margy T.B. and the Female Gothic, the series which I will hopefully be finishing this weekend 🥹)

The act of looking, as a viewer, is meant to lessen distance between us and the subject. This is what makes certain scenes in movies or certain images in paintings feel uncomfortable to watch; witnessing these things closes the gap between us and the subject and encourages us to place ourselves in their shoes. But the film repeatedly shows us that seeing Margarethe means to be at a remove from her. We are not allowed in.

That said, there is a way that the act of looking does function as a mode of identification in the movie:

In a headcanon on ye old blog, I compiled the following screenshots of Margarethe looking at Ella.

In the headcanon in question, I sort of blindly bumble through some questions about what Margarethe is feeling in these moments, but for whatever reason, Young Me (from 2016!) confined the following observation to the tags: that Margarethe is not glowering at Ella here; she's looking at her almost neutrally. Appraisingly or sharply in a few, and almost curiously in others. In the middle right, her expression is almost soft. (This particular screencap is from a deleted scene where Ella is packing her dead father's things, and folds over weeping on the floor.)

I am absolutely, 100% certain this is a deliberate acting choice on Cate's part. (like, we're talking about Cake Blanket. She doesn't do stuff half-assed.) This is unequivocally meant to communicate something about Margarethe's feelings toward Ella. What she feels toward her is not fiery-hot rage or loathing, though certainly Ella can bring those emotions out of her. What it always comes back to, for me, is this:

Margarethe identifies with Ella. This is the gaze that closes the gap between viewer and subject. She does not hate her. She feels a condescending disdain for Ella's morality and apparent simplicity; she's disgusted by her goals and mores, and considers her boring and unsuitable as a sister to her two daughters. But there is a core part of her that relates deeply to Ella and sees herself reflected in her. When Ella is grieving, Margarethe doesn't laugh or smile. When Ella is falling into her trap, Margarethe isn't necessarily having fun.

Margarethe's gaze reveals this in more than one way. In the scene where she sells Ella to the Grand Duke, telling him, "Do with her what you will. She's nothing to me," she has tears in her eyes.

She is conscious here that on some level, she is selling her Self. She is giving up to an unknown fate a helpless, abused girl--as Margarethe was once, herself, a helpless, abused girl, and has now, multiple times, sold herself into an unknown fate, first by marrying Francis, then by marrying Ella's father. She has created her own double by abusing Ella as she herself, Margarethe, was once abused, and now she is throwing her away; she is throwing away the chance for her own redemption and her own opportunity to do the right thing--or even simply to amend her own genuine wrongdoing--toward a person who has never deliberately harmed her in any way.

It would be easy to take Margarethe's moments of Looking as moments where she is polishing and sharpening her hatred of Ella--but that's not what's happening. In a way, Margarethe can't resist looking at Ella, because it's like looking into a funhouse mirror, or through a mirror into Wonderland; she is seeing a version of herself that never was, a person she couldn't imagine being, and yet--wasn't she young like that, too? Didn't she used to be beautiful? And wasn't she hurt by somebody, the way she is hurting Ella now? Why is it that Ella can keep going as she is, whole and good, when Margarethe couldn't? Why can't she see her wither, fade, grow cold, grow cruel, as Margarethe herself did? What does it mean that under her gaze, Ella is always just Ella--that Ella never truly becomes her mirror, never becomes the next Margarethe?

Blog 4 : Initial project Idea - 2

by Shamshan Chandrathodika

The second dome video concept transports viewers to Kerala's lush green landscapes, characterized by tropical terrain adorned with mangroves and wetlands. As the scene progresses, the sky darkens, with heavy rain clouds rising overhead. Soon, the skies open as rain falls in torrents. Against this backdrop, youngsters playing football in a close field disperse, running for cover.

The visuals look like they're taken from the ground, gazing up at a 45-degree angle towards the sky. The imaging, rendered in 3D, intends to immerse viewers in the vividness of Kerala's natural beauty and the dramatic shifts in weather that frequently characterize its landscapes. This representation invites viewers to experience the sights and sounds of a tropical rainstorm, creating a feeling of mood and nostalgia for the place.

BILLIE POV//

Today has left me feeling complicated.

The time we spent together at my place two months ago made me see how Y/n in a different light. Since then I've thought about how she could fit into my life beyond what we are now.

Overlooking the city while eating and talking about everything and nothing that evening is something I can't stomp out of my memory. And the sex. It's enough to make me blush.

Each time our hands brush or even our shoulders as we avoid fellow pedestrians navigating the streets, I'm reminded of when we were last skin to skin. Every time she laughs or places a hand on my arm in conversation, or any of a hundred little things that are no big deal at all, my heart beats uncontrollably.

It isn't just the physical sensations that stir me, but the emotions her company brings. They torment me in the most delicious way. I live for the moments where I don't have to be constantly aware of what I'm saying or doing so it can't be twisted for the public eye. It's insane. I barely know her. We've been friends for almost a year, and I use friends in the loosest sense of the word. If I'm not careful I'll be swept away.

A tug at the hem of my shirt pulls me from my thoughts, "Where first?"

"Let's cross now." I take her hand again so she keeps up. At least that's what I'm telling myself. It definitely isn't because I want to hold her hand again, "Want a real New York experience?"

Y/n practically nuzzles into my side to avoid a pedestrian breezing past, "I've seen enough SVU to be wary about that statement."

She's so cute, "You have a very overactive imagination."

Her head swivels to take the park all in at once, "That's exactly what you would say if you were trying to lure me into a false sense of security."

"Funny." I turn her body by her hips so she can see my idea for herself, "Right over there."

"Wha-? The horse drawn carriages?" her fingers latch onto my wrist and for a second I worry she'll feel how fast my pulse is.

Across the street there's an incredibly tall horse with a shiny brown coat attached to an old fashioned carriage with red leather seats.

"What do you think?" I ask, "Too touristy?"

"I have dreamed of riding in a carriage around central park my entire life."

Reluctantly, I let my hands fall from her waist. As we cross the street an older couple, including a woman dressed very similar to myself save for her capri pants, walks in front of us. She must be the real Martha. The woman is several yards ahead with her husband who is probably named something like Robert. They get in and it's only then that I realize there's no other carriage in sight.

Shit.

"Sorry ladies, this was the last one." the man at the kiosk says, his bronx accent thick.

"For the whole night?" I've gone all day without being recognized but I may pull a bitch move and use my celebrity card. If Y/n wants a carriage ride then she's getting a carriage ride.

"What about a smaller one like that?" Y/n points to the advertisement on the front of the booth. It shows a bright white carriage, both the horse and the cart are covered with garlands of red roses. It seems tiny compared to the one that just left with Robert and the real Martha.

"I'm afraid that's used exclusively for the honeymoon package." the man informs.

I'm brought back (since when am I so stuck in thought) by the warmth of Y/n's arm around my waist, "What a coincidence! We're actually on our honeymoon right now." she beams, "It's my first time in the city!"

"Is that right?" the man looks between us, thoroughly unconvinced.

I lay my own arm over the girl's shoulders and stand to my full height, "Yes. Do you have a problem with that? I would hate to have to report your business for discriminatory practices."

His face pales, "No ma'am. A buddy of mine married his husband just last summer. I made a speech and everything."

"That's good to hear." my smile turns kind, "So...we could have the honeymoon package tonight? Preferably before the sun fully sets."

He checks his own watch and glances towards the horizon, "Eh it usually takes some planning ahead to get it all together."

"Would double your usual rate make up for your lack of warning?"

I can see the dollar signs reflecting in his eyes as he finishes his phone call to the stables, "All set! Andy will be here with the carriage and Brady will catch up later."

Y/n turns to me with a bright smile.

Stay focused Billie Dean, "Perfect." I count out a few hundreds in cash, I almost drop the money when I feel her breath on my neck.

"You carry that much on you? Do you want to get mugged?!" she whisper-yells. She rests her cheek on my shoulder, probably to keep up the newlywed appearance, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

"It's for horse drawn carriage emergencies, doll. Plus I use it for tips."

She laughs in disbelief, "You tip with $100 bills?"

"There's no humble way to answer that, but yes."

About five minutes later the carriage pictured on the ad pulls up. Only, on the back is a huge sign that says Just Married!

Wait a damn minute. That was not on the poster.

My mouth falls open but I quickly cover my shock with a surprised smile, "You do think of everything!" suddenly it's hard to swallow.

The man positions a step stool beside the carriage, "No detail has been overlooked, so don't worry about a thing." he smiles.

"Thank you so much!" Y/n nudges me forward, "Martha has been wanting to do this forever."

I can't help but imagine a life like that. Where I'm Tourist Martha, visiting the city with my wife- let's call her Ethel. My wife that makes me wear sneakers and a baseball cap. Tourist Martha is one lucky bitch.

"You lovebirds, have a lovely ride!" the man calls as we set off.

"Good cover story, Tourist Ethel."

Y/n giggles, "Ethel?!" she gasps when she notices something at our feet.

I lift my knees towards my chest, "What is it?!"

"Champagne!" she pulls up an ice bucket and two flute glasses, "You talk to ghosts but you draw the line at bugs?" she laughs.

"It's New York, it could've been anything."

"Touché." she fills our glasses.

The horse keeps up a steady pace in sync with flowing traffic as we sip delicately. I don't know if it's the fake flowers or the champagne or the woman beside me that makes this tourist trap worth it. Strands of Y/n's hair fly across her face and as I reach to move it back behind her ear, a camera clicks.

"Damn paparazzi." I mutter to myself, pulling my hand away.

"No, it was perfect! Keep doing that!" a young man on a skateboard rolling alongside us with a camera shouts.

Is he for real? "What the hell are you doing?"

"What you're paying me to do!" he smiles kindly, "I'm Brady, the photographer!"

"The phot—"

Y/n stops me with a hand on my thigh, "Oh! Of course, the honeymoon package, honey!" she nestles against my shoulder which isn't hard considering this seat is designed for people who are very comfortable in each other's space.

"A skateboard isn't very professional." I say as he swipes his foot across the ground to pick up speed.

"So he can keep up with the horse, babe." Y/n clarifies.

"Yep!" Brady confirms.

We roll along 5th avenue and the cathedral comes into sight. Hopefully the proximity to St. Patrick's will send me god given strength to not kiss Y/n senseless right now. Any other woman and it might be different -any other woman and I wouldn't even be doing something like this- but there's a different weight to this moment.

"Lean in real close, now!" Brady suggests.

"If we don't play along, they'll know we lied." Y/n whispers for only me to here. The orange-pink sunset and city lights turn the moment from slightly romantic to one of utter necessity, "It is our honeymoon after all..."

My head drifts to hers slowly and the look in her eyes tells me that she may be struggling to make sense of this as much as I am—

"Looking great! Smooch!" Brady cheers us on.

Instead of laughing off the suggestion, Y/n grins, "Kiss me." as if we're not already impossibly close.

As if I could stop myself. I actually melt as I press my lips to hers and the camera shutter whirls away. We starts off for show, to sell the honeymooners story. I can do this. Then Y/n deepens the kiss only parting when we need air.

"I want you." she whispers against my lips.

I lean forward to speak to the carriage driver, "I'll give you $200 to drive us to the Park Hyatt right now!"

(( time skip / three blocks later ))

The three blocks back to the hotel were three blocks of absolute torture. The carriage rocked us into each other, her hand on my jean clad thigh, and having to keep our kissing and touching limited for public made it feel like an eternity.

Once we stop, I hand $200 cash to Andy (the carriage driver) and another $200 to Brady (who's legs must be tired now).

I scramble from the carriage and pull Y/n through the hotel's front door. I don't know if it's our means of transportation or our slightly disheveled tshirt and jeans appearance that leaves the doorman baffled, but I don't care.

We are thankfully the only ones in the elevator and once the doors close, I'm pressed against the back wall. My lips tingle and my hands threaten to shake from excitement, but that doesn't stop my back arching from the mirrored wall when she nibbles on my neck.

"How are you doing this to me?" I breathe out -cheeks flushed- into the small space.

Conveniently, our room isn't too far down the hallway. I punch in the code and let the door fly open, "Babydoll- I hate to say it but we've been walking around the city all day. We need to shower."

"I was thinking the same thing." Y/n flings my hat and pulls my I heart New York shirt over my head before throwing it in the same direction, "Shower shower and then sex and then eat and nap or shower and shower sex and then more sex and then food and nap?" she asks.

"Do you have to ask?" a wicked grin takes over my face, "After that you are not allowed out of bed unless there's a fucking fire. I'm do for a cuddle."

With an equally wicked smile, Y/n hooks a finger in my belt loop and leads me to the bathroom. Each kiss and touch leaving me longing for more. How can something so arousing cause such torture?

Y/N POV//

I kiss the soft, freckled skin where her bra strap fell from her shoulder. Repeating the same action with the other strap, only quicker. Tenderly grazing the soft skin of her neck as I undo the bra.

My lips moves to her collarbone while I unbutton her pants. Maintaining eye contact, I place a kiss just above her belly button as I crouch to pull the brand new jeans down her legs. The heated floors are definitely coming in handy right now.

Unsurprisingly she's wearing fairly sensible, yet sexy, lace and satin underwear. The fact that it isn't lingerie hints that this moment is just as spontaneous for her as it is for me and for some reason that makes me feel lighter. Billie stares down at me with a sexy smile. Those deep brown eyes flutter shut with a sigh when I blow cool air over her core, earning a slight tremble from her legs.

"You're overdressed." Billie purrs.

The only light in the room is from the nearby buildings but the desire shining in her eyes is unmistakable. I pull my own shirt over my head, noticing how intensely she watches the movement. Once I'm naked I go to turn on the shower and flip on a light. I hear Billie washing her hands before she comes up behind me.

Cold hands pull my back to her chest as I check the water's temperature, "I can't wait." she growls. One arm goes around my waist and the other scratches downwards from my sternum to my belly button before diving between my legs, "Mmm...feels like you can't either." she walks us into the shower, not bothering to close the door.

I brace myself, hands flat on the wall in front of me. The hand between my legs becomes demanding and I throw my head back onto her shoulder in complete surrender. Billie's lips, tongue, and teeth smother my neck.

She slows her motions, chuckling when I roll my hips to pick up the pace myself, "So needy." she tsks, stepping closer behind me so every time I move I grind into her. She kisses my shoulder, "You’re close aren’t you? I can feel it…"

"Billie Dean." my hand grip her wrist to keep her from retracting her hand.

"Say it."

"I—" she slips her fingers out and up to circle my clit, leaving me to pulse around nothing, "—fuck, Billie."

"You know what I want to hear, babydoll." her voice drops an octave, "Say it."

"Please can I cum for you?"

"Such a good girl." Billie slides her fingers back inside me far enough to repeatedly stroke the spot guaranteed to bring me over edge, "Cum for me, babydoll."

She hooks her free arm around my waist to keep me upright when my legs threaten to buckle. The hand between my thighs maintains its pace as my head lulls to the side to briefly rest my forehead against hers. Her body warm and her cheeks rosy from the stream of hot water hitting her back.

Billie's face finds to my neck where she places a string of open mouthed kisses, not at all helping me to regulate my breathing. She smiles, "Y'alright bunny?"

My nose nudges hers when I turn my head for a kiss we both smile into, "Fantastic." I lay my hand over the arm secured around my waist.

"Let's get cleaned up." she pecks me cheek.

I grab the body wash from the ledge but decide against putting some in my hand, "Tilt your head back." I tell Billie.

She sweeps her hair from her shoulders to fall down her upper back instead. After opening the body wash I hold it over her chest and pour it in a line from freckled shoulder to freckled shoulder.

Once the bottle is back on the shelf, I take each of her breasts into my hands, catching the soap as it slides further down her body. Taking my time to lather them before gliding my hands up to her shoulders and down her arms, "Turn around for me."

Grinning, Billie Dean hands me the bottle from the shelf and turns her back to me, "Are you in charge now?"

"Maybe."

"Mhm." she moves her hair out of my way and braces her hands against the shower wall, arching ever so slightly as the cool soap trails down the contours of her back. Inhaling sharply when I let more soap fall over her ass and down her thighs.

It looks like icing and I'm having many thoughts about that.

Once she's all soaped up and rinsing off, I take the time to wash my own body much quicker than I did hers. Billie shampoos and rinses her hair briefly before pouring a quarter sized amount of the same shampoo and putting it in my already wet hair.

The silence is both imminent and intimate as her fingers work their way through my hair and it's only now that I realize she doesn't have acrylics on. Billie turns us so we switch positions (now my back is to the shower head) and allows my to rinse my hair while she 'helps' to clear the soap from my body.

When it's all down the drain she tugs me flush against her for a kiss and reaches behind me to turn off the pipe. She wraps my arms around her neck, reaches through the still open shower door -oops- and pulls my warm towel down to wrap around me, "There." she pecks my forehead and grabs her towel from the hook.

The second we're dry, my lips claim vanilla scented skin and my fingers dance down to the small dimples on either side of her lower back. Billie cups my face to bring my mouth to hers as we stumble into the bedroom. My hands fall to her ass and she returns my kiss with added ferocity. I almost forget my goal. Almost. Her calves hit the edge of the bed and I give her one last push so she falls back. Laying there in all her glory.

Ever impatient, she encircles my waist with her legs and pulls me down on top of her, making me catch myself with hands planted beside her head. Billie locks her ankles behind my back, forcing me to rest on my forearms and lay my entire body weight on hers. We immediately seek out another kiss when my skin sears into hers. Billie's fingers tangle in my still damp hair, tensing and tugging ever so slightly as her back arches and falls, silently begging to expel her built up frustration.

Billie bring my hand to her breast, kneading it firmly before guiding it down between her legs, "Don't tease me."

"It's only fair." I smile, removing my hand from her hold and bringing it to my mouth instead to wet my fingers. Billie's eyes never leave my tongue as it circles my digits.

"You cruel little thing." she breathes out.

Keeping my eyes locked with hers I run my fingers over her swollen cunt and dip my head to take a nipple between my teeth, feeling it harden against my tongue when I circle it.

Billie clings to my shoulders, "Y/n—" she rocks her hips against my hand, sighing in relief when I press my palm to her clit. I kiss across her chest to pay her other breast the same attention, peppering them both with a few love bites. I trail open mouthed kisses down the rippling planes of her abdomen, pausing briefly to admire my work so far.

Her fingers gently press into my head, urging me further down, "Babydoll." Of course that makes me cave.

I drop a single kiss on each thigh and maybe a bite before licking one long line up her slit. Billie's pointed toes dig into my lower back as I position myself to lay on my stomach. I take my time mapping her cunt with my tongue, our eyes fluttering shut at the same time.

Billie's hand combs my hair back, "Look at me, sweet girl—" her eyes roll along with her hips, "oh fuck, just like that. Do you have any idea how pretty you look like this?" she moans when her eyes meet mine, her fingers brush my hair from my face again, "Baby I need you to—"

Knowing what she wants I bring a finger to her entrance and let it sink in before she can finish her sentence.

Billie's legs threaten to close when I add a second finger and gently suck her clit into my mouth, "Don't you dare stop fucking me like that." Her hips undulate to match my pace but lose the rhythm as her climax breaks.

I continue lapping my tongue and pumping my fingers to draw out her pleasure. I'm rewarded by her back arching beautifully and both hands leaving my hair to pull on the sides of her pillow instead.

"Okay okay okay!" she lets out a cross between a laugh and a moan, patting my shoulder as her legs tense to ease the ache, "Jesus..."

I rest my head against her thigh (the perfect pillow) to admire her blissed out face.

"C'mere, sugar." she makes grabby hands.

I move up her body, leaving a few more kisses on the way because I can't help it, "Kiss me."

She does, swiping her tongue over mine, "Nap then food or food then nap?" Billie asks.

"Nap then food then nap?" I suggest.

She hums in agreement, pulling my down to lay on top of her, "Sounds divine."
