General Review:

Just wow. I did in fact spend like all day reading this and I do not regret it and even though it’s not done… this is literally a 5/5 read. Firstly the way that my baby Tay writes is so phenomenal and the depictions of the relationships and the amount of emotions and thought they she puts throughout the story makes everything so worth it. I really felt so attached to the characters and the overall story like i didn’t care how long the chapters were because i was so interested in the world she build and the CHARACTERS. Like it just keeps getting better and better; the amount of drama and messy that kept me on my toes every chapter. I cannot wait for the next chapter. The amount of stuff that went down in this fic and the route it’s going down idek how she got the life depicted in the first chapter because it’s shit happening every second like whew. I literally got so emotional reading this especially the more recent chapters because my heart hurtssss for reader so bad and it’s just so much strain on her and idgaf that’s my girl! I support women’s wrongs and she got a lot of them but that’s my baby like omg!

Now let’s delve in to my reactions ofc 🙈

CHAPTER 1: okay so obsessed with the fact that reader has a daughter firstly. The way you describe reader’s relationship and the dynamic she has with Armin and even the shift to his pov was very seamless and perfectoooo. The way you got in his head and i feel immersed inside of his thoughts about her and i just thought it was really well written and so beautifully executed. “Being with you but not truly being with you was like having an itch that begged to be scratched.” Like that line right there? It burneddd me and make me feel for him and overall i got invested. Can I add that Armin working in a bakery was very on par with his character lol? Like i love it. Your description of anything is very addicting as well let me add, im a sucker for details so i loved it. I was cheesing DOWN during their moments and when he took her to their childhood hangout place and the hold “date” bit came up and the “but even so, the implication of romance with him felt as natural as breathing.” Likeeee omg i was blushing. “I was always planning on leaving, but…not without you.” Oh that moved me like bad. I’m a sucker for childhood friends to lovers and hearing them reminiscing and just wanting to move out of where they are to make a lifeee was so good. “Since when was he ever so lucky? Since when did fate decide to show him a little bit of pity and mercy? The universe had taken everything from him before he was even old enough to know how to spell the word “universe.”” UGHH you’re killing meeee. And then armin’s backstory stop 😞😞😞. WHEN ARMIN SAID HE WANTED TK MARRY HERRRR OH MY HEART like 😭 crying omg!! Munch Armin Agenda >>>>

Mikasa Cameo yesss. Armin sending reader money 🥲🥲 even though he’s literally going through it ugh, my loveee. The proposal and reader finally getting her steak & lobster please love that for themmmm. Eren… pmo!! … “What they loved more, however, was the fact that he never took his eyes off of you the entire time.” 😄😄😁😁 oh okayyy, don’t know who im rooting for after eren two second cameo. “Nowadays, you had seen more of him than your own husband, and that broke your heart into pieces.” Naurrrrr 🥲 please… ““Is it ‘cause we’re all alone, baby?”” Eren… ERENNN R YOU KIDDING ME MOVEEE like moveee “Can’t control yourself when it’s just us, can you?” MOVEEE

“If you were with me, you’d only be making money for yourself. No one else, baby. It’ll take you wherever you wanna go, buy you whatever want, fuck you however you want. You’d like that, right?” OH FAUK YEWWW, but … omg that’s sexy like please don’t piss me off😭😭

OH FAWK HERR??? FAWK HER MY GODDESSS IS READER SERIOUS RN?? FAWK HER SO BAD FOR THIS IDC

CHAPTER 2: “It was an indisputable fact; scientists measured the elements of his face and declared the handsome man as the literal definition of physical perfection.” Oh that ate !

Eren defending reader yesss #RealMan . “Still though, it’s Eren. Same man who took you away from the person you’re writing about. There’s no way he’d be okay with this.” Jean clocked her im sorry LMAOO??

“You were more than just a pretty face. You were more than just a lovely voice. You were a distraction.” Real… so real.

“You’re such a damn jerk,” Jean snapped. “You can’t take everything you want like you rule the goddamn world, Eren. You stole her away from her ex-husband, but no one’s allowed to steal her away from you, right? Not until you get tired of her and move on to someone else?” CLOCKED LMAKDKA CAUSE WHY WAS I LITERALLY THINKING THE SAME THING LIKE PLEASE MOVE LMAOOO

“Is it true that your ex-husband pushed for your success? And you left him for Eren Yeager?” JEAN MIGHT AS WELL THAT BEEN THE ONE TO ASK THAT BECAUSE INTREEVIEWER CLOCKEDSD HER ! Marriage 😞 please move 👎🏾 why they just pissed me off. J-JEAN ! SIR!!

“Well now, Sarah, there is the possibility that she could have been having an affair! She did leave her first husband for Eren. Who’s to say that she wouldn’t leave Eren for someone else?” THEY CLOCKING HER 😭😭😭😭😭😭 back to back!

Reader locking down all the munches like that’s queen right there! “It was the first time you had ever slept next to him without his arms wrapped around you.” 😞😞 and Jean leaving the band omg… Levi so real lmaoooo

JEAN SO MESSY??? EREN COMING OMG?? EREN ACTUALLY BEING THEREEE OH MY GOSH PLEASE MOVE!!! “But, apparently, all of it was stupid. He felt stupid as he stood there, watching his best friend kiss and touch you. He felt stupid as he thought about the day he proposed to you. He felt stupid as he thought about how much he loved you.” Naur… MY GOSH READER SO ??? she done pissed me off!

CHAPTER 3:

Mikasa clocking her 😁😁🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ karma x3 and “i want him back” and “that’s not the same thing” LMAOO CLOCKED! LIKE GOT HER

“I didn’t even know that Eren was there! He was avoiding me for weeks a-and said he wasn’t gonna show up. I fucked up, I know that, but he stopped speaking to me. Stopped looking at me. He acted like I didn’t exist…and I was fucking lonely.” She kinda ate idk she back to winning me over. FAWK EREN 😭😭😭

Levi…is he crazy telling her to come with him?? 😭😭😭 like he finna get fucked up about her too is he MAD? “You’ve fooled around with three guys back to back. It’s a little hard to tell which one of them you like the most.” FUCK CLOCKED HER SKSJSK ?? “You’re a homeless woman who’s sleeping at her manager’s house because she cheated on a famous rockstar with his bandmate.” Levi it’s 10am in the morning 😭😭😭😭 please chill. “Last thing I need is for the public to start making rumors about us.” He so damn funny lmaoo

“Yes. Men like Eren and Jean took pure advantage of your naiveness. If you ask me, you should have been the one doing the punching. Don’t sit back and let them walk all over you.” Okayy Annie period queen.

“The singer with more failed relationships than original songs.” 😭😭😭 i be giggling down like the industry is clocking herrrrr bad

“Gonna punch me too? Try it. Go ahead. Do it, and let’s see what fucking happens.” CLOCKED! Lmaoooo

Hickey… why i already knew something like that was gonna go down. Broke my baby heart omg 😞!

“If you loved him, you wouldn’t have cheated on him. If you loved me, you wouldn’t have left me. So you’re still fucking lying.” Armin just came back and clocking her lmaoooooo “I think it’s easier for you to act like you’ve never cared about anyone than it is to take responsibility for your actions. It’s less painful to pretend that you’re completely the victim in this situation than it is to accept that you broke my heart. Eren and Jean’s heart as well. I’m not saying that anyone is in the right or wrong, but I know you. I know you loved me, even if it was just a little bit.” Tea… like girl it’s okay.

CHAPTER 4:

Connie is crazyyy 😭😭? “You know your life is in my hands” & “don’t make me do some easy shit” OHH he crazy

Marco…. Yo?? And they wondering why Connie went mad like be serious.

Arminnn, glad to see he okayish. “You never thought he’d use it on you.” Welllll?? The love of his life fucked him over 😭😭😭 um be serious.

“I love you, and I understand what money and influence can do to a person, but I just miss you. I miss the old you, the person who made everyone laugh during card games and didn’t treat everyone like garbage.” 🙂🙂🙂 ohhh he clocked her this like one of the worst ones.

“No ordinary human being enjoyed the realization that they had changed for the worse. It felt like your insides were twisting up, as if the old version of yourself was begging to come out, buried underneath this new, shallow, perfect celebrity.” ☹️☹️☹️ nooo queenie.

“You’re so in love with Hollywood now, I didn’t think you’d come at all if I told you the truth.” 😟😟 oh um! this is crazy to say ?? why even invite her at all lmaoo??

Reiner’s place is so lived in and loved around like your description really got me cause I can feel it all around and buzzing so lively whew i felt home! Reiner is EXACTLY the type of man who would bring you to meet the family and to propose so i smiledddd because yes just yes!

ooh, could i request 12 and/or 13 for your choice of oc please? —@shoshiwrites

(from this lovely askbox meme)

12. We all have somewhere we retreat in our heads to calm down - a happy place. Describe that place for your character - a physical location or a time or place they felt safe or at ease.

For Georgina Webster, it's her father's study.

It's a surprisingly modest space for a man of C. Terrence Webster's renown, with a humble oak desk and typewriter, his worn chair, and two bookshelves along the back wall. The sun flows in from the east from the morning into the late afternoon and the air is hazy after twenty-years worth of pipe smoke. It’s relatively bare of decoration but full of his character—with pictures from his years in Africa and Georgie’s childhood and piles upon piles of correspondence from his fellow writers and academics.

It’s a shrine to the power of the written word, the mind in action, and it’s been Georgie’s favorite place for as long as she can remember. He used to sit her on his lap while he wrote and tell her about the world and its turns, her mother protesting that she was far too young to understand. But she wasn’t.

The study is where she received her first typewriter and met the greatest thinkers of a generation and first aspired to become one herself. She was never shot down, admonished, or made to feel unintelligent within those four walls. She’d come to know every book and essay almost as well as her father, adding creases and cracks to the well-loved spines arranged in his particular system. It was where she ran after fights with her mother and after arguments with imaginative professors. It was where she slept, in the pool of sunlight on the rug under the window, with Mister Hemingway the cat.

That study holds the truth about life even now, and Georgie is not too old or too proud to sit across from her father and talk for hours, debating and theorizing about her coursework at Radcliffe and conversations with her peers. The study is the smartest and most uneducated she’ll ever be and she treasures that feeling because she knows how lucky she is to be able to learn from a man like her father.

13. Characters have to come from somewhere before the story starts. Tell me about someone they trust before the story begins and why that trust exists.

Holly Johansson is Victoria Albert's dearest friend in the whole wide world. They could practically be sisters with their fine blonde hair and their light freckles and their identical bright smiles. (They do in fact introduce one another as sisters.)

They grew up across the street from each other and their older brothers were friends before either one of them came along, so it was inevitable that they'd be in each other's lives. But no one could've predicted how close they'd become.

They originally bonded out of necessity, otherwise they'd have no one to play with when the school day ended and their brothers sped off down the street without them. It quickly turned to friendship as they braided each other's hair and traded dolls and got bikes of their own so they could ride to the grocer's and buy penny candy.

It's easy between them, all the time. They can read the other girl like a book and therefore there are no secrets between them, not that they'd want there to be. They're bosom buddies, confidants, cheerleaders, and they balance each other well. Holly's more of a dreamer while Victoria is more of a doer, but they both aspire to get out of Green Bay and see the world (Holly to Hollywood, Bertie to the Big Apple.)

When APS comes looking for photographers, no one is happier or most nervous for Victoria than Holly, and Holly is the first person Bertie writes to when something happens overseas.

Below is basic information and a list of wanted and open connections for 𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚 𝙍𝙮𝙖𝙣 𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙄𝙄𝙄. Ryan is currently SINGLE, identifies as bisexual, and is living in LOS ANGELES, California. Please dm me if there is any connection on the list you would like to explore (most are open to multiples so don't worry if there's already a name beside it!)

“[Ryan] was sweet and slightly odd, like a strange bird in the zoo you can’t help but stare at because you’ve never seen anything like it. Everything out of his mouth belonged in some wild romantic comedy filled with modern-day Romeos and beautiful love songs. He existed in the present but didn’t actually live here with the rest of us. He was a starry-eyed dreamer who created an entire world in his head. Instead of dealing with the not-so-magical situations in his life, his mind transformed to a place where he was happy. His dreams consisted of haunting melodies, men in fanciful 1800s suits and a blissful utopia where people fell deeply in love.”

10 Best places to visit in Mumbai

Mumbai previously known as Bombay is one of India’s most populous and largest cities fondly known as the ‘city of dreams. The city of dreamers, hard workers, a prominent centre of trade, a cultural centre, home to one of the biggest slum areas as well as home to the richest, this city is a venture in itself that mirrors the unique diversity of our nation, thus is called ‘city for all. Aside from the country’s commercial and financial capital, it is also the entertainment capital of India. This heritage city is always beaming with vibrance, vigour and liveliness and is a “city that never sleeps” and also tends to be one of the busiest cities in the world. Mumbai is a beautiful city known for its fast-paced lifestyle and life here is so happening. Personally, this beautiful city has my heart. I believe one should take the time to come visit Mumbai and appreciate the city for what it has to offer. This city is every traveller’s delight, several attractions and 10 amazing places to visit in Mumbai are listed below which will make you fall in love with this extravagant city over and over again:

Gateway of India

Marine Drive

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Terminus (CST)

Ancient Caves on Elephanta Island

Drive across the Bandra Worli Sea Link

Kanheri Caves

Haji Ali Dargah

Juhu Beach

Siddhivinayak Temple

Essel World

Gateway of India

Standing proud on the banks of the Arabian Sea at the Apollo Bunder waterfront area, the Gateway of India is one of Mumbai’s most popular and treasured landmarks located next to the iconic Taj Mahal Palace and facing the vast Arabian Sea. Visit this place in the early morning or late evening hours to enjoy the cool breeze of the sea take a ferry ride offered here and experience a breathtaking view of the monument right from the sea.

Marine Drive

This one is my favourite place and the heart of Mumbai. No trip to Mumbai is complete without a cruise down Marine Drive. At night, with the street lights on, the entire road appears like a dazzling diamond neckpiece hence it is also referred to as ‘Queen’s Necklace’. The place offers spectacular views of the sunset, a soothing atmosphere and a relaxing cool breeze not to forget the amazing street food at Chowpatty which is right next to this place.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Terminus

Also known as Victoria Terminus is situated in the heart of Mumbai. Just like the Gateway of India, CST is a treasured landmark of Mumbai. It stands as one of the best examples of Gothic-style architecture in India. The terminus building has striking stone domes, pointed arches, beautiful tunnels and an eccentric ground plan that leaves visitors amazed. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Terminus is among the most popular places for tourist interest in the city.

Ancient Caves on Elephanta Island

Ferries to Elephanta Island depart roughly every 30 minutes from the Gateway of India and take about an hour. The attraction is home to rock-cut cave temples honouring the Hindu god Shiva. This beautiful breathing architecture is a series of temples in a maze-like Mandala pattern. Inside you will discover carving stories of Hindu myths. This is must must-visit place in Mumbai.

Drive across the Bandra Worli Sea Link

One of Mumbai’s most iconic sites is a cable-stayed bridge known as the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The eight-lane bridge connects the central business district with the western suburbs over the open sea, offering some much-needed relief. For the most impressive views of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, head to the Bandra Fort, it is also worth driving across the bridge, as well. By day, you can see the crashing sea on both sides of the bridge. And at night, watch the bridge light up with spectacular colours.

Kanheri Caves

Spend a day at Sanjay Gandhi National Park exploring the Kanheri Caves, a complex of monuments that were carved out of the basalt formations around 2,000 years ago. Inside the 109 cave entrances, you’ll see large stupas, congregation areas, and prayer halls. Look for the incomplete paintings of the Buddha on the ceiling of Cave 34. This place will leave you in awe.

Haji Ali Dargah

This grand edifice is made of white marble and exemplifies the Indo-Islamic style of architecture. A walk through the causeway that connects the Dargah to the Lala Rajput Rai Marg is the main attraction of this place. Feel the spirituality of this place with your dear ones while enjoying a panoramic view of the deep blue waters. This is one of the most popular religious belief shrines in Mumbai and you surely would not want to miss this peaceful place.

Juhu Beach

Juhu Beach is the most loved and visited place in Mumbai. It is in the suburbs of the city and is a hotspot to enjoy yourself. If you’re looking for a reason to unwind; its self-calming shoreline and serene breezes are some of the instant answers to your query. One cannot just get enough of it in one go. Gandhi Gram’ is located nearby wherein you can find statues of many freedom fighters and a relaxing corner. At least not to forget the street food varieties you can enjoy there with a breathtaking view in the evening time.

Siddhivinayak Temple

The Shree Siddhivinayak Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Lord Shri Ganesh. This is one of the best places to visit in Mumbai. It has a nice and friendly ambience. If you want to avoid the long queues, you can try to reach the temple before 4 a.m., there is barely any crowd at such times. This shrine attracts tourists from all over Mumbai and beyond for its theism and a real bond of hope and belief.

Essel World

Last but not least Essel World is my favourite holiday destination. Spend a day here and you’ll love every bit of it. It runs for 365 days of the year and renders many exciting adventurous activities for all. It has set up a benchmark for the entertainment parks in India, being the top-notch one in this industry. It is the best amusement park with the best rides and captivating adventure and thus this is the most entertaining place in Mumbai.
