west coast.

mob!frank castle x f!reader .

warnings : 18+ only, smut , the use of the word ‘panties’ twice, unprotected sex, oral (f!receiving), soft/service frank, public sex (on a balcony?), lemme know if im forgetting any??

i live for soft frank - sue me. (actually send sum to my inbox or i’m suing you) i think this is the longest thing i’ve posted??? 1.6k words??? that aside, this is inspired off the song west coast by lana del ray. i hope y’all like this cause i honestly am not sure - but also love it at the same time??? so flip a coin ig,,, not proofread. (likes, comments & reblogs much appreciated)

“it ain’ all bad out here, is it?” frank questions from behind, arms wrapping around your waist.

it’s odd to believe maybe frank was right - there can be an appeal to looking at new york. you just have to have the money to look over it all from the balcony of a penthouse.

but in spite, still all you say is “just got bored enough to come out here, is all.”

and he’s turning you around to look at him.

“were thinkin’ ‘bout me, huh?” he questions, but it sounds a hell of a lot like a statement with a chuckle.

“it’s not funny - had me scared half to death earlier.” you state, swatting at his arms that don't leave your waist.

“really thought i was gonna stay somewhere i can’t see ya’ long?”

“you were in custod-” you begin being promptly cut off by frank.

“how many times i gotta tell ya’ not to worry ‘bout me? promised i had everythin’ under control, think i’d lie to ya’ sweetheart?”

“i was scare-” you start again, before being cut off again.

“m’right here, don’t gotta be scared. was barely there a few hours.”

the uncertain glance you give him, causes him to gain a slight frown. he cradles your jaw in his palm, a soft look in his eyes before laying a gentle kiss to your lips.

“i don’t plan on - i ain’ goin’ nowhere, alright? nothin’ i want more in the world then to be right here with ya’, sweetheart.”

“still missed you.”

“fuck - missed ya’ more.” he states sounding somewhat exasperated, buring his face into your neck.

“only because you were in a holding cell.” and he can’t help but chuckle at that.

frank offers a kiss to your neck before groaning into it a “god, i love ya’.”

“do you really now, frankie?” you question.

“don’t believe me sweetheart?” he starts, letting a slight chuckle out “need m’to prove it to ya’?”

you let out a slight hum while thinking, “what if i do?”

“better watch that mouth of yours, could get ya’ in trouble.”

“you are trouble, castle” you quip back, before meeting your lips with his.

the kiss is needy, and when hands start to wander it doesn’t take long to become sloppy. the tug you give his hair doesn't go unretalitated, a rough grope to your tit follows and has you gasping against his lips.

“please” is all you can manage to muster out between breaths.

franks quick to cradle your jaw in his palm again, eyes meeting yours “please what, princess?”

“make love to me, frankie” you start, “prove you love me.”

“want m’to make ya’ feel good?” he questions, condescendingly yet somehow sweet, “tell ya’ how pretty ya’ look when i do?”

when all you manage is a pathetic whine and nod, he just smirks and continues on.

“hm? want m’to make love to ya’ right now, sweetheart?” frank starts, hand going between your thighs, “want the neighbors to see m’fuckin’ ya’ up here?”

with the way frank’s touching it you makes your skin hot, and the breeze doesn't do too much to cool you down. still, you offer another pathetic whine and nod. the gentle eyes and slight smirk stay, but you still know he’s dissatisfied with something.

“need words, baby. tell me.” he states, lifting your chin slightly.

“fuck frank - just touch me,” you stutter out, “please.”

and that’s all it takes for him to pin you against the glass. one of his hands hikes your dress up until his fingers meet the band of your panties. they part from your skin, only to meet it again with a slight snap. franks lips meet yours again, but they’re quick to leave. but seconds after they do, he’s dropping to his knees while pulling your panties down, and he’s lifting your thighs onto his shoulders.

“gonna give ya’ everythin’ ya’ need,” frank states assuringly, laying a kiss to one of your thighs “jus’ gotta lemme, alright?”

you offer a hum, and he offers “ya’ gonna lemme, baby?”

“for fucks sake fr-” you start, before a light slap meets your ass.

“gonna be a good girl and lemme take care of ya’, right, sweetheart?”

“yes. frankie, yes.” you dejectedly whisper out.

you gain another kiss to your thigh out of approval. before you have a chance to ruin the agreement his tongues meeting your slit, and there’s a slight groan that leaves both of your lips when it does. the slow flicks of his tongue have you growing impatient, and you're sure he knows because before you even have a chance to complain you feel two fingers start to enter your cunt. the stretch has you letting out a slight whimper. frank shows his gratitude for the noise with making the flicks of his tongue, and pumps of his fingers more vigorous. your hands end up taking purchase on his hair. you find yourself trying to tug him impossibly closer to you by it, and you feel the vibration of the groan he lets out at the feeling.

you start rutting your hips against his face, and you’re honestly not too sure if it’s because it’s not enough or too much. but frank knows, he knows you’re about to make a mess on his face and fingers and he couldn’t be happier. he knows in the way your face scrunches up, in the way you tug his hair, in the way you buck your hips, in the way your cunt squeezes around his fingers.you cant even think of giving him a warning, so instead you’re throwing out pathetic cries of ‘thank you’s, and curses. you swear you can feel his smirk, but you’re too in euphoria to even feel embarrassed. and even once you push his head from in between your thighs because it’s all too much, his fingers dont stop pumping into your cunt. he lets out a groan and you can see your slick and his spit falling from his mouth onto your overstimulated clit.

“now would ya’ look at that?” he mutters mainly to himself, “s’pretty.”

he lays a light kiss to your clit before taking his fingers out of your cunt. bringing you back to your feet, he readjusts your nightgown even knowing he’s just gonna scrunch it back up.

once he begins stripping his clothes, you start to drop to your knees, before frank grabs your waist and pulls you back up, stating “said lemme take care of ya’, darlin’. don’t worry your pretty lil’ head ‘bout a thing.”

your legs are being wrapped around his bare waist, and your dress is on your waist again. the glass of the door back into the penthouse is cold against your exposed skin, but when frank starts teasing your clit with the head of his cock the discomfort is long forgotten. frank doesn't let you get out a beg or a plea before his lips are meeting yours. and you both capture the slight whimpers that fall from your mouths at the sensation of him fully entering and stretching you out. the grip he has on your waist tightens, and you nibble at his lip when he starts slowly thrusting into your still slightly sensitive cunt.

“s’big frankie” is stuttered against his rough lips, and there’s that cocky smirk back on his face.

“yea?” he questions with that condescending tone again, “ gonna make a mess on this big cock f’me, sweetheart?”

and you're not even thinking before stuttering out whatever words he wants to hear. clearly grateful for that fact, his finger begins making haphazard circles around your clit, and his thrusts speed up. you couldn't care less about whatever words were flowing from your lips if he was gonna fuck you like this.

“s’pretty like this,” he mutters into your neck, “s’good t’me.”

and more thoughtless mumbles fall from your lips at the praise, and feeling he’s giving you. the mixture of your hot breath, moans, and sweat is nothing short of sinful. the sound of his thighs slapping against your is barely acknowledged, the noises coming from your mouths taking superiority. and you can feel everything becoming all too much again, and once again frank knows, and it does nothing but amp him up.

“feel good, baby? lettin’ me take care of that needy lil’ pussy of mine, huh?” when all you can do is pathetically nod, and hum at the question, he continues “gonna make a mess, baby? be a good girl f’me?”

you can’t help the pathetic nodding that continues, or mindless babbles that fall from your lips, and it seems he cant stop the praise falling from his. as your cunt tightens around his cock, you drag your nails down his back and he lets out a slight whimper at the sting. you feel him twitch inside you, and whatever warning he’s trying to give falls onto deaf ears, because you feel an all too familiar euphoria coming over you. and you’re giving him what you told him you would - a mess. with your shaking legs, and shaky voice you offer gratitude, even while tugging his hair and scraping your nails against his back.

“attagirl,” he moans out, “love you n’ this pretty pussy.”

he lays gentle kisses on your collarbone and neck while riding out both your highs, but while his thrusts slow, they don’t stop, and neither do the circles on your clit even once you have.

and you can’t help trying to push his hand away from you, “t’sensitive frankie-”

“nah,” he starts, laying a sloppy kiss to you lips, “think ya’ got a few more in ya’ f’me, baby.”

a/n : gif is basically spot on tbh. also,,,,, her cameo in the punisher?????

-Remora-

Note: this is a mer frank Au because there's not enough out there so I did it my self. Also a frank x billy in this story.

----*----

When Billy first met frank it was buring an operation. The cops ,Dinah, had called a few weeks prier. Dinah went state to the point as soon as he picked up the phone.

"Aw no hello" he purred. Only to get a huff from the other line. There relationship did not end well to say the lest. Especially when he found out one of his most skilled operators was bought by a mafia boss to assassinate her. She had also found out about it and have him hell for it. It was quite an hour.

"Russo I need help on a case I have" she said not ignoring the flirtatious greeting. He rolled his eyes rolling the pen around in his hand.

"Do you have the money?" What? Bullets and people where expensive.

"Russo" she gave a low growl. This time he heaved His own sigh. He staring to regret giving her unlimited favors for nearly killing her. If he knew she would call him up this often (this was her first call in a few years) and asks something ridiculous of him he would have never gave her that offer. Eh you live and your learn.

"All right! All right what do you need?" He hissed out and he swears he can he a smug smile on her face.

"We've been working on this for more than a month but they keep slipping away from us when we finally get something solid." She tells him.

"Ok" he brawls "what do they do?"

"They've been running a death pit-" ok he was expecting something worse than that like a mafia doing human trafficking "- with Magicals they've been kidnapping them off the streets and throwing them in to the pit" never mind it was as bad as he hoped. Personally Billy did not care if Magicals looked different from humans. If they can kill they can kill that's all that counts in his books. Unfortunately not every one felt the same as he did about the Magicals. Often call them half bloods or other nasty things.

"Ok where do I come in?" He asked.

"Im getting to that hold on" Dinah told him. "And we've finally found out where there new pit is. But we can't send any of our own to infiltrate it because they all ready know are faces"

"Do you need mine?" He finished for her.

"Yes"

"Your realize my face is also well known right?" He asked

"Yes but you own what equivalents to a mercenary group so its works out"

So that's how he ended up here in a million dollar suit with a bunch of it here snobby purist watching Magicals rip each other apart. The place was not a bad as he thought it would be but it was clean and well kept. It was also separated to two floors. the ground floor where the lesser folk betted on witch magical would win or lose. Then the second floor with was where he was it was defiantly better then the ground floor. It was less crowded you had a better view of the pit and the bricks were divine.

It also seamed that the king of the operation. Blest them with his presence to night. It was not hard to notes him with the crowed of guards around him and as of right now the was watching the show the Magicals where putting on. One was a dragon born, they were rare to see them so fare away from there mountain rang and the other was an elf. Billy never like there egos.

"What is the famous Billy Russo doing here?" Someone asked

"To watch the show of course what else would I be here for?" Billy lied. turning to look at the king "and what is the king boing here with us common folk?"

He smiled showing off his perfected teeth and with a small chuckle he said "I'm here for a trial"

"Trial?"

"Yes there was... How do you put it? an assassination and we caught her" he hummed

"Is it the elf?" The king barked out a laugh.

"On. She's human and I plane for something more dramatic than this. I can promise you that" his smile turned in to something more sharp and dangerous. To most it would scare or bested them but to him it made a delightful jump in his abdomen.

What could be more grand than this? Billy thought leaning his elbows agent the railings Having people tare each other to shreds with there bare hands. Just watching was doing winders to him "you have me Intrigued, care to tell?"

Then king hummed moving closer to him, making billy tilt his head up to met his eyes. "No that would ruin the surprise and why would I do that to you my dear?"

"Because you like me?" That made king laugh. "Not even the name of it?" King shook his head still laughing.

"Bummer" Billy huffed out tiring to face the pit in time to watch the final blow from the Dragon born. the smell of burnt flesh was pronounced in the air as the burning elf finally stopped screaming. The crowed gave a Roar of approval.

"Do you have a dragon born?" King asked suddenly.

"Sorry?" Billy asked glancing up at him.

"In your company. I mean"

"Oh" billy said dumbly be for recovering " yes I only have one. As you know they don't like to leave there mountain range unless-"

"Unless there out casts or descendents of them" king finished for him.

"Yes" Billy confirmed glancing at the king again who looked expectantly. "He's a decedent of a traitor. He's also Copper"

"Ooh~ tell me more" king swooned "can they really breath underwater?"

"Yes he can. it very useful on certain missions I give him but. . . His payment is a bit annoying"

"How so?"

"He wants to be payed in weird trinkets. Witch he can find half of the time but the other time" Billy sighed "if he was not extremely helpful I would have kicked him out by now" king hummed watching them finish cleaning up the pit and stare to fill it up... Why where they doing that? Billy glance at the king and he seamed to not react to what there doing like it was normal but the murmuring said that this was not a normal occurrence

"Is this what you where talking about?" Billy murmured straining up a eyes slowly turned to the king. Once they where all on him the king raise his hand to quite the crowed.

"I know your all wondering what happening and ill tell you" the kings voice boomed across the room "if you do not know an assassination happen not to long ago with one of my lieutenants but don't worry we caught her" he gestured dramatically to the other side of the room where to double doors open to reveal the assassin. Who was being dragged in by to large men.

"And to night we will watch die gloriously or not so gloriously. But that's not the only thing this is. This is not only an execution but a warning to are enemies not to Fuck with us!" Roared the king his followers gave just as enthusiastic Roar back. The rage was obvious on her face as she was dragged to the pit with the chummed water. What when did they do that and why did they do that?

They throw her in to the chummed water with out much problem. Standing at her full hight the water reached up to her sternum. One of the guards threw her a small knife and said something to her. Probably something along the lines of 'you'll need it'

"Do you have a clue yet?" The king asked leaning down next to Billy's ear.

"No what's going on?" billy asked leaning forwards like every body else on the second level. To get a better look. Everyone on the first level seamed to be chanting to word "Punisher"

Then assassin faces the gate as it slowly opens up and something. . .

no fucking way it can't be. it cant-

----*----

Lol that's the end of this chapter. I hope you like the world I've made so far and bon't worry there will be more chapters in the future!

have a good day y'all!

frank and lucy go to the movies, what kinda movie would they immediately go towards and what would they refuse to consider

They immediately gravitate towards horror/mystery/anything that looks as though it smacks of gender and/or homos. Frank LOVES goofy slapstick shit but Lucy thinks it's juvenile and has no problem scathingly critiquing such films (like father like daughter), and Lucy LOVES dramas and arthouse films but Frank finds them sappy and boring and will make fun of it throughout the whole thing.

They both hate romcoms and teen flicks with a buring passion but will make an exception for cheap beach party movies (a trend of the 50s and 60s) bc hunky surfer dudes for frank and bodacious surfer babes for Lucy, even though she swears that's not why she watches them.

#mars says stuff #frank einstein brewster #lucille brewster #bodies in our cellar #they are banned from 3 drive ins for rowdy conduct (<-franks fault)

My thoughts on Christmas Detour

It’s that time of year again, the time I look forward to every year…Hallmark movie time! It only comes twice a year, once for Christmas in July and then again in October-December. Four months to wet my appetite for over the top holiday decorations, unlikely romance and twenty versions of Pride and Prejudice but then disappears like a mirage in the dessert as soon as January hits. Why do I love them so much? Maybe it’s the wholesomeness in a troubled duplicitous world, the reminder of a joyous time when hope and rebirth can begin in the new year, or maybe it’s because I have the same taste in movies as an 80 year old woman surrounded by her cats sipping Darjeeling tea. But I think what I really love is that they are so deliciously wrought with ridiculousness that breaking them apart adds to the joy and allows me to pretend I don’t enjoy them as much as I do and that I am a sane person and not some hopeless romantic.

So, on my very first post I am going to delve into one of my favorite Hallmark classics, that yes, does reside on my DVR and that is Christmas Detour. There are many staple Hallmark actresses and becoming the grand dame of them all is Candace Cameron Bure. She hasn’t aged since her last days as DJ Tanner and her generic approach to play every role the same invites us into each Hallmark movie because she is so familiar and we fall instantly into the new plot like putting on those Christmas pajamas we only take out once a year. In this movie she plays Paige Summerlind, a writer for a wedding magazine. Which is at least a welcome departure from the usual careers of our Hallmark heroines as party planners and interior designers. How she makes enough money to not only afford a place in LA but then also offers to buy a bridal magazine for a future bride perusing the magazine rack at the airport is beyond me but I’ll buy into it since weddings are a billion dollar industry.

We immediately get the sense of Paige’s high maintenance and lack of travel knowledge when she tries to bring her vision board on the plane as she books her seat. What is a vision board? This is equivalent to the bulletin board you had in college that took up half your wall behind your desk. However, instead of pictures of boy bands, ads for wine coolers, dated mottos and an occasional post-it of a due date from the previous semester, her vision board is filled with frilly ideas for her upcoming nuptials. Cakes, dresses, flowers, and maybe a tiny picture of her betrothed. Which brings us to a view of her fiancé, Jack Collins. We first see Jack at his parents house in what may appear to be some snooty Hampton vacation home with his uppity mother Susan and her husband Neil. Susan is more interested in her next martini than she is with her stodgy husband. I adore the actress that plays Susan (Barbara Niven) since she is also featured in many Hallmark movies as the quirky but lovely towns woman. This is such a departure that I love to see her snark and smirk and booze it up in this holiday flick. But despite the boozy mom and dad that looks like he’s walking around in overly starched undergarments Jack at first glimpse seems like a devoted fiancé. As time goes on we realize that Jack has as much personality as a salty olive floating in his mother’s afternoon martini. That probably the sharpest thing on him is his chiseled chin.

Meanwhile, at the airport and ready to take off for parts of unnamed downstate NY we are introduced to Dylan, an airport bartender that clearly didn’t get picked up for pilot season in LA and was forced to shovel salty snacks and pour weakened drinks for weary travelers. He’s on his way home to see his family after a hiatus. He drags his heels like an 8 year old going to church to board the flight and we are intrigued to find out why he would not want to visit a Hallmark haven like we have come to expect. Next up is Frank and Maxine, a 40 something couple that have been married for twenty years that have grown to have a clear distaste for each other. Hold up Hallmark, say it isn’t so, you expect us to believe a Hallmark couple has grown apart and share a life less than bliss? Have you taken a momentary lapse into the Lifetime channel?

As luck would have it, Paige and Dylan are seated together and begin the Hallmark push pull relationship of hard to get. We need to stick with the Hallmark formula of first encounters and wrong impressions and mixed messages ultimately resulting in whirlwind romances making the Bachelor reality show look like a long relationship. After trading barbs Paige puts on her ear phones to no doubt dream of her picket fence life with Chiseled Chin. Unexpectedly, a snow storm on the eastern seaboard in December (shocking) forces an emergency landing in the magical land of…Buffalo.

Now, if you’ve been to western NY, Buffalo really isn’t your Hallmark destination, and being from upstate NY myself my half frost bit ears perked up. Incidentally, Candace’s sister-in-law is from Buffalo. I know this because there was a flurry of rumor spreading through the mall I worked at in the 90’s that Candace, her brother Kurt and his girlfriend were walking through on their way to visit the girlfriend’s (now wife) family. Alas, they never visited the Limited store I worked at, they probably had enough stirrup leggings to last a lifetime. But here we are, in cold Buffalo, waiting for the weather to clear up for the planes to take off again. First of all, airports in western NY rarely close and snow doesn’t last an hour, it lasts longer than a Hallmark movie season.

Paige frantically calls Chiseled Chin to tell her of her bad luck and ever the devoted fiancé, Chiseled mentions that perhaps she should’ve checked the radar before leaving. Perhaps the rocket scientist could’ve looked out the window at his place to maybe warn her they were up to their cummerbunds in snow? Nevertheless, he warns her that she better make it in time because she would miss meeting his parents who were leaving for an extended cruise the day after Christmas. They were old fashioned after all and needed to lay eyes on their future daughter in law before the wedding in the spring. That’s some lengthy cruise that they never make landfall before May to rejoin their chiseled son and his bride. How is it that they work to maintain this lavish lifestyle? Some Bernie Madoff pyramid scheme? Just what kind of family is our Paige marrying into? Our heroine is crushed and begins to lose hope as the bitter married couple try to cheer her up.

Dylan rents the only SUV left in western NY (he’s so resourceful that Dylan) and offers to drive them all to their down state destination. It’s here we begin to see a glimpse into the lives of Frank and Maxine that have been married for 20 years. Hallmark tries to pass off this 20 year marriage as if it’s 50 years and the stuff of legends. Considering an average courtship and engagement only lasts 3 weeks in Hallmark time I guess it is an eternity. But for crying out loud, I have underwear older than dear Frank and Maxine’s marriage. We also find out that Frank and Maxine are on their way to visit their newly married daughter and husband for Christmas in what is going to become a new tradition. It’s clear Maxine is not liking venturing into the snow and cold and out of her LA comfort zone and is as resentful of her travels as she is of Frank. This is where I become confused at Hallmark’s settling on their being married 20 years. Why not 25 or 30? I’m a stickler for numbers and timing so this is where Hallmark got sloppy. Are we to believe that Frank and Maxine lived in sin with an illegitimate child before they were married, or that their daughter was married at 19 and landed in a gorgeous Long Island million dollar home as some famed rich youtuber or marrying someone older? Perhaps nailing her professor from Sarah Lawrence? I for one am still reeling from the shock of this reality.

As roads sometimes do in NY in winter, they iced up and became too much for the SUV as Dylan swerved to avoid hitting a rabbit Paige thought she saw and they crashed. Not an end up in the hospital type of crash, but a we’re conveniently stranded for the night kind of fender bender. I can’t tell you the times I drove in NY blizzards and wished that damn rabbit hadn’t jumped out right in front of me. Those NY rabbits sure love a blizzard and boy are they easy to see in snow. Looks like we’re sidelined again from getting to Chiseled Chin and Maxine and Frank’s daughter’s youtube mansion. But as luck would have it there is a quaint Christmas town somewhere between Buffalo and Albany! If this town exists in upstate NY it’s as imaginary as that rabbit. Our foursome have no choice but to hunker down in a Christmas Inn and stroll the quaint imaginary rabbit town. As they dine on stale rolls and wander the town that doesn’t seem to realize there is a blizzard going on, Dylan informs Paige he is reluctant to return home because his brother is with his once fiancé. First an illegitimate daughter and now a sibling tryst, what is Hallmark coming to? I hope there’s a music montage soon to lead us out of this sordidness.

After having to oblige by the sacrosanct rule of kissing underneath the mistletoe in a Christmas movie, Paige is starting to have feelings for our salty snack bartender and less for Chiseled Chin. She needs to get out of Christmas town before she encounters any more ill placed mistletoe. Dylan, disappointed, drives Frank and Maxine to their daughter’s youtube love nest she shares with her 65 year old Sarah Lawrence professor. Maxine gifts Dylan not only with a picture of he and Paige but an address where she will be having dinner. Once out of the car Frank takes a stand and demands Maxine either get on board with a Hallmark marriage or skirt on over to Lifetime or worse yet, TBS. Maxine appreciating Frank’s boldness agrees and takes the luggage up to whatever hell awaits in the youtube illegitimate daughter’s love nest.

Meanwhile, Paige finally meets her boozy starchy future inlaws. Boozy immediately insults her off the rack dress that in reality probably set the costume department back a half a Hallmark store. Boozy and Starchy have plans for the wedding that Paige is not digging. She clearly has her dream wedding as depicted on her vision board. She should roll it out with the martinis and see if it flies. Where is that vision board? Chiseled can’t understand Paige’s reluctance to go along with the Hampton wedding plan and is beginning to wonder if he picked the right woman to share his Hampton beach life. He asks her to make sure she is prompt as she is to change into yet another cocktail dress to go to dinner at the club. Why does she need to change out of one four thousand dollar dress for another? Is half a Hallmark store frock not good enough?

Dylan finally makes his way to his hometown and goes to the door of his house where he is greeted by his mother. A woman probably only three years older than the actor portraying Dylan. Are they against employing older actresses or does Hallmark just have a really good botox plan? Everyone always looks the same age. Before coming to the door we are treated with a treasure trove of Hallmark products strategically placed, all getting their own close up. If only I could have the item numbers displayed as well, my house could look like Rudolph took a crap of merriment in my house! But alas, this movie was made in 2015 so it I’ll have to be on the lookout on Ebay. Looks like casting goofed again when we are introduced to Dylan’s brother and fiancé. Dylan’s brother is about half his height and a few inches shorter than the fiancé the brothers fought over. And she’s no Lacey Chabert either, they could’ve found a more beguiling actress or at least put her in flats. Dylan asks mini to join him to get things out of the car. Dylan offered his congratulations as the brother finds the forgotten vision board. After seeing the vision board and the not so desirable fiancé, Dylan knows what he has to do.

At the club Paige helps herself to a hot roll and notes how fresh it was unlike the stale roll Dylan had the previous night. Ugh, how uncouth, she touched the roll. Where is the waiter to place it on her plate with gold tongs only fit for such wonderous pastry? This Paige is trash. Boozy offers to have her dress made by none other than famous wedding savant David Tutera. But Paige has no idea who he is. Wow, Paige is looking ditsy too. She works in the wedding industry but knows nothing about David Tutera? I guess his show didn’t appear on Hallmark so we’ll forgive her. Maybe she blew some neurons trying to squeeze into her second cocktail dress. Boozy warns her about picking a dress that doesn’t make her look too busty. Paige looks down as if to see her bosom overflowing in her second cocktail dress. Now Candace is pretty fit and I’d like to have that rocking bod but busty has never been synonymous with DJ Tanner. Oh thank goodness, here comes Dylan to make an awkward moment even worse by dragging that dumb ass vision board with him. Paige seeing the picture of them together on the hideous vision board makes her realize it wasn’t the wedding she was after it was the happily ever after. Seeing she couldn’t make that happen with Chiseled Chin she hands back the ring and goes after Dylan, leaving Boozy, Chiseled and Starchy to gawk at that eye sore of a vision board. Classy.

Dylan and Paige arrive at his mother’s house. Hopefully, Paige was able to pick up her luggage at the mansion to avoid any awkward moments. I’m sure the help lowered their music and stopped their celebrating while Boozy was out of the house to hand Paige her Walmart luggage. Our last scene has our couple entering the house that Christmas threw up in to meet the cougar mom, mini and his dowdy fiancé to settle in for a Hallmark tradition. I’m glad they had those two days to really get to know each other, probably a day longer than Frank and Maxine had and they made it twenty years.

I just have a few quick questions! What do you find most attractive about Myanna buring? Have you read the books and if so, do you like book!yen more than show!yen? Was Tissaia in you stone universe ever able to trust men again? When can we expect a new chapter of stone?

i have seen and started to answer and then promptly forgotten about this ask approximately 483 times in the past month.

1. confession: i didn’t find her particularly attractive first. but often, i don’t. i kinda fall in love with ‘em and then start finding them undeniably physically attractive. like obvs i’d have been able to call out some features that were aesthetically nice but it wasn’t just like “wow hot.” anyway now??? idk man, everything??? lol. her cheekbones and jaw are so like, delicate but strong at the same time. she has lovely eyes and a delightful voice (like, high, but with some fascinating undertones). there’s a lot of dichotomy to her; she’s fascinating.

2. i’ve... skimmed some bits of the books and read others, but not Actually Read any of them. but yes, i’d say i definitely prefer book!Yen. the show needs to shape up as far as showing characterization and character growth because just... no. like nobody hates the source material for the fandom they’re in as much as i dislike this dumb show probably. i can’t explain it. Do Better!!!!

3. to be frank with you, stone!verse Tissaia doesn’t trust much of anyone, and i doubt canon!Tissaia does either really? but i get that that’s not really what you’re asking, and the simplest answer is... yes? like, it was a long rode, but these days she regards men with some disdain on the whole but not with fear, if that answers your question

4. *side-eyes the 300 words i’ve written across the past 3 days* Heh. i wish i knew, nonny-mouse.
