Mommy?

Yes, darling? Are you hungry? I can put something together if you are... I also just put the kettle on if you'd like some tea.

@kwiecista​
Magdalena has gotten more clever over the last few years, feeling the presence behind the kitchen door, the slight change in her brother’s voice as he asked for assistance outside.  Any slight sign that pointed towards an unwanted shower.  She should just grin and bear the tradition, but it had become a game by this point.  Each year, Feliks would try to soak his sister with a bucket (or some other container) of freezing cold water, and each year, Magdalena would try and avoid it.
This year, however, this year Feliks would get her and win their little game all before breakfast.
Right as the sun had begun to rise and just before the rooster crowed, he slipped out of the warm guest bed and out of the window, not daring to risk the creak of the door or floorboards.  From there, he entered into the barn and climbed up into the loft, where he had prepared a bucket of water the night before.  He laid on his stomach, bucket at the ready, just barely peeking over the edge to avoid his sister’s eyes.  Then, he waited.  And waited.  He waited for what seemed like an eternity until, finally, Magdalena entered the barn.
But just as she was greeting her cow good morning, the water flowed out of the bucket and onto Magdalena’s head. 
Tumblr media
The screams of surprise and anger were a victory march in Feliks’ ears.

What are some of the things you’re looking for in a partner now that you didn’t prioritize in the past?
Do you really want me going down the road of past relationships and dwelling on what could and should have been different? Because that is a dangerous road and not one that you really need to hear. There's a gate on that part of my story for a reason.
Tumblr media
[A wistful sigh. Despite these protests, she has already fallen into the well of memories. She avoided coming to this well, worried that if she looked too deep, she would fall and drown.]
Something that I'm looking for in a partner now that I didn't prioritize in the past? I've realized how important it is to have someone who makes me feel weak. Now, before you start, let me explain.
I've spent my whole life being strong. Sometimes, I wonder if I know anything else... If I know how to be weak. I don't let anyone push me around. I will always stand up for myself and fight to my last breath. I've done it before, and I'll happily do it again.
But, I have to admit, it gets exhausting sometimes. Always relying on myself, that is. There are times when I just want to lie down and close my eyes until it's all over. But that just isn't who I am. Because if I don't take care of myself and my own interests, who will?
Hopefully, this hypothetical partner. I know that you don't just start out putting your full faith into someone, at least I don't. No, he would have to earn my trust and prove himself reliable enough to see my complete and vulnerable self. He will have to build that track record over time and prove that I can trust him with my interests so that I can believe him when he takes me in his strong, loving arms as he strokes my exhausted face and whispers, ❝You don't need to be strong now. You can rest for a bit. I can be strong enough for both of us and I will take care of you.❞
[Her cheeks turn pink as she pulls herself out of her thoughts.] Oh dear, I went off into a daydream, didn't I?
Well, I'll leave you with a practical piece of advice to make up for that. These people do exist. I've met them. But they are few and far in between. So when you do come across them, do everything in your power to hold onto them. And if you're lucky, they will stick with you. And if you're luckier still, they will eventually come to see you the way that you see them...
I know that was only one thing, but do you really need more?

I think it's time to reintroduce the idea of Magda having a crush on her best friend (Mr. Hun.gary) but never acting on it because she doesn't want to ruin their friendship even though it has been running strong for over a thousand years slash he made a stupid comment at one point so now she thinks it's no use trying. Also a thousand dollars to the person who will explore that story arc with me, I've been wanting it for ten years.

[Only someone who had known her for so long could stumble across the magic words that could set her off. And, whether he had met to set her off of not, Danylo was that person.]
A guest. [She scoffs.] You never appreciate it anyway, so what's the point? My hospitality is absolutely wasted on you! [She snaps, slamming her palm on the counter with a loud thud. Really, it was a shame that her emotions had taken over; she could have had so much fun leading the man down a long and complex path. But Danylo had ended her little game the second he questioned her hospitality.]
[She places a hand on her hip, wagging an accusatory finger at him. Every inch of her short stature radiates with pure frustration.]
You know me. You know that I will bend over backward to take care of my guests. [She tosses her head back dramatically.] I cook and clean for hours. All for the sake of a smile and a thank you! That's all I ever want in return, and I don't even receive that from you!
No! All I get is accusations of manipulation or arguments about why my chickens aren't actually Polish or - or - or whatever other ridiculous ideas you find when you rummage around in that brain of yours! [She taps her temple.] For goodness' sake, can't you ever use it for anything useful?
[As it usually does when she's frustrated, her pitch rose as the words left her mouth like a train leaving its station. She finally recognizes that fact and takes a deep breath to regain her composure, muttering to herself.] Ja cię kręcę. Even Feliks doesn't give me this hard of a time. I swear, it's Christlike the way that I've put up with you and your insults and your complaints this long.
If you really are hungry, there's still some soup and you're welcome to help yourself to that. It's humble enough to be free from any of your high expectations. But I refuse to give you anything to complain about. I put way too much effort into my baking just to hear that it isn't authentic enough for your tongue. Kurde, when was the last time you baked anything for me, hmm?
[ his mouth actually hangs open a little bit there. hasn't it... always been about him jumping through hoops? he very nearly verbalizes that thought word for word. but there's still an element of restraint in him that believes there's a chance at a pączek. he presses his lips into a firm line and leans back on his hands against the counter. he'll have to try another approach. danylo crosses his legs and kicks out his hip. ]
Lenusenya. [ his emphasis falls on the extra syllable. he switches to a higher register, which only emphasizes how much polish he doesn't remember. ] Did you forget what all this-- [ he gestures vaguely at absolutely nothing. ] --is about? Forget me as--as me. Do I stand before you now as nothing less than... a--a guest? In your home?
[ his stomach growls exactly then. you have to wonder if that was involuntary or not. ] A guest... unfed. In your home. [ tut tut tut. ] I dunno. That just ain't something that would ever go and happen at my place. Even if I was trying to prove a point. [ sighs dramatically. ] Is pride... Christlike, Lenusenya?

Oh also I want to tell you all that I know from first-hand experience that that Łowicz costume weighs over 20 pounds so just holding up the apron and walking around in it is a workout.

Hi, I want to do stuff here again but I'm not feeling creative enough to make a new open so here's a reverse starter call. Give this post a ❤ and I’ll go through your meme tag and send you a starter!
Edit: Y'all haven't been sharing sentence memes lately so I'm taking the starters from here. Cool? Cool.

What do you have to do? [her eyebrows knit together in (mock) confusion.] It's not simply a matter of making you jump through hoops, my dear cousin! [even though it totally is!]
[she leans back with a pensive look on her face] You know, with Lent just around the corner, I've been doing a lot of meditating about the ways that I can be a better person. And one of those ways is by helping you and thinking about your long-term well-being! [gives her best angelical, virtuous smile.]
I want you to have the things that will truly satisfy you, Danylo, and I'm afraid that my donuts just don't fall into that category. As talented and generous as I am, It never seems to be enough for you...so I've decided that I'm going to spare you the pain of unnecessary disappointment from now on. You may not appreciate it now, but you will in the long run. You may even end up thanking me!
@kwiecista сказала !!
[Looks at Danylo. Looks over at the tray of still warm pączki. Looks back over at Danylo with the saddest face (though even an untrained eye would notice that the emotion was quite overly dramatic and theatrical.)] Oh, Danusz. I want to give you a pączek. Believe me, I really do. But...I'm worried. How do I know that my gifts will measure up to your expectations? They never seem to be authentic enough for you... Best to just avoid the risk of disappointing you, I think.
[ there's a good chance that somebody else would realize she's exaggerating. however, this is not somebody else. this is danylo. and you can see the panic in his eyes as he registers magda's front as entirely genuine. he wants a donut so bad. he's gazing at them like a pie in the windowsill. ]
O-of course they will! I-I mean, you're such a... [ swallows. smiles. looks a little pained about all of this. ] You're just. So talented! At. At what you do. And... generous! R-really! [ his eye twitches. ] What do... I gotta do. To have one?
