Hey. Asking about how Chloe was abused. My knowldge of abuse is fairly limited to general pop knowledge so I'm curious as to what abuse was done to her.

Okay caveats first:

I am not a medical professional, I am simply someone with a vested interest in the topic who has done more research than the average person.

There are many definitions of abuse. Legal definitions are rarely useful, as they are limited to concrete, provable, gross violations. Just as you can inflict a lot of pain on someone without leaving the marks to prove assault, you can do a lot of damage to a child without it being legally 'provable'. Medical definitions are much more helpful for discussions.

Lastly some level of extrapolation is required as it is a show. We take what we are shown. For example:We actually only have Felix's word that he was ever abused, and his first character traits sre being deceitful and manipulative. We still take his word though, because it's a show. (And also we should give weight to victim accounts!)

So both parents are guilty in different ways. We will start with Audrey, the simpler one. There's clear verbal and emotional abuse demonstrated on screen. Mis-naming your child is a form of abuse:please ask the trans community about the impact of deadnaming even in full grown adults.

Beyond that she is constantly dismissive and belittling of her child- to the exclusion of all else. Style Queen/Queen Wasp is rife with examples. There is also the clear behavior shift in Chloé. The wheeling, approval seeking, hunched posture expecting rejection. This is a *pattern* not a one off. Audrey may live in NY, but no fashion movil would be away from Paris for 13yrs straight. We are simply seeing the most recent interaction. This culminates im a child having to ask 'Why don't you love me mother?' and the response is telling

Audrey barely chokes out the strange word when trying to contradict the question. It takes Marinette literally making them both mad at her to get a bare minimum of interaction on Audrey's part. It doesn't last though. Audrey falls back into her negation behaviors and is now present to inflict them more regularly on Chloé, while also being a constant target for/model of behavior for Chloé. (Seriously it was such a misstep to write Marinette reuniting a victim with an abuser) We know the show itself considers Audrey'ss care as a bad thing because the original script had André divorcing her and takin Zoé because Zoé 'doesn't deserve you' so Chloé being in an abusive parenting situation in Representation is supposed to be 'punishment'(ewww)

André is not off the hook either. People look at him 'spoiling' her and leave it at that. Well, 'spoiling' can in fact be abusive too. Let's look at what we see:

André has been her primary caregiver for 14 years now, so he has had the most responsibility in molding what we see for good or bad(mostly bad). She does learn from him too. Darkblade she proudly announces she learned everything about winning elections from watching her father. He's also excessively arrogant (I'm the symbol of Paris!) and quite willing to abuse his power for his own ends(having Roger round up protestors etc) which explains where Chloé learned where power is to be abused.

André is also extremely neglectful as a parent, extreeeeemely. Let's hit a bunch of points in the order they come to me.

Chloé lives *alone* in a hotel suite. There's no shared space, no family area. It's not even really her room. It's commercial, sterile. Where sre her hobbies? Posters? Even her *colors*? She is so used to being ignored at home that the girl who is loud as heck everywhere else doesn't make a single mark on her living space.

A hotel employee seems to think he needs to step in to raise Chloé. Let that sink in. An employee can see how bad it is and tried to make some kind of change, (he's working against a lifetime of ingrained behavior and is not very good at it himself). He doesn't even think to you know... Get Andre in to do this.

André was unaware or didn't care his daughter hasn't done schoolwork since Sabrina *learned to write*(5/6 yrs old) that is a shocking level of disinterest in your child. 6yr olds aren't criminal masterminds.

Andre supplants actual attention and affection with *stuff* he gives material possessions in *place* of parenting. This is somewhat similar to spoiling but not the same. André's method denies the child something vital. You see- things aren't a substitute for affection/attention, developmentally. And so while they may delight they never satisfy the need. They never validate the emotional attachment. So after the shine wears off, the hole is still there. So, like someone with an addiction, the child needs more, and more, and more. Since the needs are never met, it is never enough. And this is what the child views as *normal* this is simply *how it is*. They rarely know they are being given inadequate care because it's just life to them. Seeing something different in a one off doesn't make a dent vs a whole life.

This sort of thing makes a potent cocktail when mixed with the abandonment issues from her mother too. See- if her mother left, and daddy doesn't pay attention, anyone can leave. This leads to a cycle of pushing/demanding/hurting. The child expects to be left and let down, so they both try to reassure themselves it won't happen, and *make* it happen on their own terms (because they believe deep down it will) so more outrageous demands, because when those demands are met, it shows that you are still 'loved' and when they are not met, then there you go, you are not loved and they will leave you. It's a self-destructive spiral.

You see it play out with her interactions with her classmates and Sabrina specifically. How does she express affection? Gifts. What does she do? Push. Push and push and find the breaking point because if she can make Sabrina actually leave then it shows that she herself is worthless and her mother was right to leave her and her father is right to ignore her. Pretty messed up right? Yeah. Child abuse does horrible things to kids.

We're not done with André yet. Some people might say 'he expresses love for Chloé!' and to that I say- performatively.

André likes the idea of being a father. It's what respectable people do. It looks good on camera. It's someone to love him unconditionally. It's an ally against his wife.(broken home dynamics are horrible too) André just doesn't like having to parent for more than a snapshot.

We can see his interactions with Zoé highlight this too. He's delighted she's here!(a potential person on his side vs his wife and daughter) what's his first parenting advice? 'lock your dreams away and get on with life' A+ André.

What's he do in Queen Banana? He uses his power to let Chloé manipulate the movie *kicking Zoé out of it* This is the guy who is supposed to be supporting her? He only draws the line when it comes to sending Zoé away... Why? He doesn't want to lose an 'ally'. It's power dynamics. Not parenting. Where was he when Zoé was stuck in boarding school? He was going to keep Zoé in the divorce so clearly Mr Lee isn't in the picture, Audrey probably forgot Zoé existed, why didn't André bring Zoé to France and let the sisters grow up together? Oh, right, that might be work.

André likes Zoé because she comes pre-raised(boarding school was probably better than either parent) he doesn't have to put in work and he gets a free good kid to make him look like a father. She's his 'do over' as he throws the one he raised in the trash.

André shows his true colors when he's lamenting to Gabe about his corruption and abuse and blames ot on his 'heartless daughter' you know... The child he raised. The grown man is actually shoving his own corruption and misdeeds onto his child. You really don't need much more than that.

So, via neglect, verbal abuse, and emotional abuse the Bourgeois parents raised an incredibly messed up child. Chloé is not a 'good victim' like Adrien, she doesn't sulk quietly under abuse. She lashes out. She is hurt and angry and she passes the pain on. This is why they call it the cycle of abuse.

The end of Revolution illustrates this perfectly. Audrey throws verbal abuse at her on the plane. Angry that Chloé embarrassed her(not that she did wrong, Audrey loved the power grab) and calls her a loser by implication. You *see* it hit, the physical cringe. Then Chloé immedietely goes to try and pass on the pain. She is hurt and making someone else hurt is the only way to lessen it. She calls Marinette. Marinette breaks the cycle though, and good for her. But the show seems to have forgotten there's still one hurt child in this scene, and it doesn't seem to care.

I'm going to stop here for now. I probably left a bunch out, but I do have other things I need to do. Feel free to ask more questions. Thanks for taking the time to seek answers.

Today, on 8th February, 1976 - Queen Story!

New York, NY, USA, Beacon Theater

'A Night At The Opera Tour'

🔸Freddie Mercury was taking tea on the 47th floor of his New York hotel. In his suite. The Royal suite, of course. It was the morning after yet another triumph for Queen - that brilliant and highly original British rock band built around the outrageous ideas and stage presence of the exotic Mr.

Mercury. They had played their fourth concert in as many nights at the battered but fashionable Beacon Theatre, and wvith an album and a single in the American charts, they were riding high.

Warm tea was permitted to slide down Mr. Mercury's regal throat as he prodded gingerly at some nasty looking bruises on the side of his neck.

He explained, My very promising pop career nearly came to an untimely end last night. Two young girls outside the theatre decided to claim my scarf as a souvenir. They quite forgot that it was wrapped around my neck at the time, and they very nearly strangled me. I'm sure Her Majesty doesn't have to put up with this sort of thing. But then, she doesn't have anything in the charts at the moment does she?"

He is a wicked man, Mr. Mercury.

He is also everything that a rock idol is supposed to be, and New York has been quick to recognise this. Like Mick Jagger, Freddie has off-beat good looks. Jagger has those pneumatic lips, and Freddie has the most out- spoken set of teeth ever to have found their way on to a pop fan's wall. He also enjoys the lifestyle of a true superstar - he lives out our fantasies for us far more effectively than we could ever manage to do for our- selves. Even if we had his kind of money.

His dress sense is sensational. He seldom looks less than spectacular, and he is not the sort of chap who believes in going unnoticed. Satin is his favourite fabric, with silk coming a close second. And he loves those loose, floppy, Japanese-style jackets.

But as he is quick to point out, There is a quiet side to me too, you know.

My home life is very civilised, and I hardly ever dress up to watch the tele- vision. Unless I am watching a Royal occasion of course. Then, my dear, it's on with the tiara and the emine ..

the LOT!

But Freddie felt there were better things to do in the city of New York than sit around sipping tea and discussing sartorial matters. He in- vited photographer Terry 0ʻNeill and me to join him on a shopping expedition, and it seemed a reason- able idea. Freddie was his casual self in short fur coat, white satin slacks, white clogs and silver snake bracelet.

The problems we encountered were little ones. Like young girls sobbing softly outside the door of a shoe shop while Freddie sought some- thing for the regal feet inside. And then there was the confusion of the young lady in Bloomingdale's depart- ment store who began to give Freddie a free manicure, only to discover that the nails on his left hand were already painted with black lacquer.

Freddie said, I love America. But l cant imagine ever coming here to live.

Our music is successful over here because it is so distinctively English.

We must keep it that way. I have just bought a new house in London, and an enormous car that looks like a boat on wheels. I could never leave all that.

And I have far too much fun ever to worry about a silly little thing like tax.

I know l'm terribly extravagant.

I always have been. My life these days is one perpetual spending spree. So I suppose l am the sort of person who needs to find ways of reducing tax.

But it's all such a bore. Why don't you buy a pair of these beautiful glitter shoes? They 're outrageous. And they 're cheap. And they re much more interesting than tax, don't you think?

I did think so. But I decided against buying the lurid footwear. You have to be a star to wear shoes like that.

Somebody rather like Freddie Mercury, in fact.

I was catching up on some of last months posts and regarding where Barzal lives this is what I can share. So when he first moved to NY he stayed in his teammates basement in a house in garden city on Long Island. He would take girls home from bars when he was on breaks with his ex Danielle and have to take them to the garden city hotel because he couldn’t bring them to his teammates house where his wife and kids lived LOL. Then he moved to one of those sky rise apartment buildings in Long Island City near the piers which is technically Queens. During the pandemic he went back home to his parents house in Canada and when he got back to nyc he Then he moved to a luxury building on Long Island that’s close to garden city which is where that girl from tiktok was his neighbor I don’t wanna say the exact area for his / her privacy because I’m pretty sure he still lives there. He would go to the city a lot because Maya lived in the west village but I haven’t heard anything about him moving.

Thanks for the summary, at the time I made the publication I did not quite remember the exact information and I did not want to give you false information

Hi thank you for this request and congratulating me! Sorry it took so long!

Join my taglist here!

My Darling Queen: Tom Holland x Reader + SMAU

Summary: Tom take his girlfriend out for a fancy date night, going out of his way to ensure she has a great night.

Warnings: Suggestive, implied smut, making out, curse words. 18+ please given material

Y/n smiles as she applies her highlighter, still really excited for tonight.

Tom and y/n have been together for roughly two years now.

So they’ve gone on plenty of dates, both casual and posh.

However, Tom had been in New York for the last month filming and y/n finally now had the ability to fly out to join him.

Tonight was their first night back together in a month.

Most of the time their schedules would align really well to where they’d be able to travel with the other whenever needed for their jobs.

This time, Tom had to move up his start date and y/n’s work got in the way for a few weeks and they were missing each other as a result.

It was clear Tom was putting a lot of effort into this date tonight.

He always loved to spoil her, gift giving being a part of his love language.

This dress though was a big gift.

Well, their temporary NY apartment now that she made it out here.

She hummed to herself as she did the next part of her makeup routine, daydreaming about seeing Tom tonight.

She couldn’t wait to see him, hug him, hold him, kiss him, etc.

Meanwhile, Tom buttoned his jacket and fixed his hair once more.

Nodding eagerly to himself, he had Harry and his body guard help him out to the car.

Harry offered to pick up the flowers Tom preordered for y/n so that he didn’t have to get out.

But Tom wanted to handle it himself, it felt more meaningful that way.

Tom put on a face mask to cover the lower half of his face and then tilted his head down to the ground as he walked to the florist.

“Good evening sir, may I help you?” The florist greeted.

“‘ello, yes I placed an order. It should be under Tom, no last name “ he says, recalling how during the conversation earlier this week with the store they offered to just use his generic first name.

“Ah, yes one moment” the florist nods, heading to the back.

Tom bites his lip and checks his phone, ensuring he’s not missed anything from y/n.

He can’t wait to see her tonight.

Let alone in the dress he knew she would love and look incredible in.

“Sir, these are a beautiful bouquet. I see you’ve prepaid, enjoy your night” the man says, handing Tom the flowers.

Thanking him, Tom double checks the flowers, ensuring y/N’s favorite flower looks health.

Pleased with how it turned out, he all but skips to the car.

“Alright mate, you said the limo would take you guys yes?” Harry asks as they arrive to the apartment.

“Yes, and we’ll be staying at the hotel tonight so you can come back whenever” Tom says, handing his driver a tip as he slides out of the car.

“Have fun, but not too much fun!” Harry teases as the door shuts behind Tom.

Tom laughs and rolls his eyes before making his way to the unit he’s staying in.

After knocking politely before unlocking the door, Tom smiles upon seeing y/n suitcase in the living room space.

“Darling? You here?” Tom calls out, fluffing the bouquet in his hands as he walks to the bathroom.

“Tommy?!” Y/n cheers, appearing in the hallway.

Tom’s lips part as he sees her appearance.

She hasn’t changed into the dress yet, so instead she was in his favorite skirt of her’s and a deep v neck blouse.

“I missed you!” She giggles, rushing to Tom.

Tom sets the bouquet down on the console table in the hall.

He opens his arms and locks his hand under her armpits, his thumbs resting on her collar bones, as he lifts her into the air above him.

Y/n keeps giggling and smiling down at Tom, making his heart swell.

Setting her down, he says “ I missed you too love, I didn't expect myself to miss you as much as l did for only a month”.

Y/n nods and pulls him closer to her.

Tom wraps his arms around her, “don’t ever stay away from me for so long again”.

"T, no matter where you are, where you go, where they take you...I will always find my way back to you. I promise” she says, her head on his shoulder.

“Can I kiss you?” Tom whispers, his grip on her desperate.

“Please” She responds, lifting her head off his shoulder.

Tom smirks and lowers his arms to the small of her back, tugging her to him until she’s pressed against him.

He tucks his chin to his chest to kiss her nose and get her to look up at him.

When she does he gives her a sultry wink before closing his eyes and hungrily presses his lips against her soft ones.

Y/n wraps her arms around his neck and Tom pulls her waist closer as his licks her bottom lip.

As her lips part, he slides his tongue in her mouth letting it tangle with her’s.

Tom moans tenderly as he grips her hips.

Y/n smiles as they reluctantly pull apart for air.

Not ready to let go of her body, Tom rests his forehead against her’s as he stares into her eyes.

“I’m so glad you’re back” Tom sighs.

“Me too” y/n smiles, “but I need to finish getting ready”.

Tom nods, unsurprised as he was about thirty minutes earlier than planned.

He may have rushed through his tasks for the day in order to see her.

“Need any help?” Tom asks, his hand trailing down her jaw.

“You’ll probably need to zip me when I’m done. I’ll have to retouch my makeup first though” she blushes.

Tom smirks as she turns around to finish getting ready.

Tom walks to the living room to wait, pausing when he sees the flowers.

He looks between the bathroom door and the flowers several times in consideration.

He decides just to hold them and wait in the hall.

Securing the dress over her shoulders and zipping it as much as she can, she fastens her heels and checks her lipstick once more.

Y/n smiles confidently to herself, he picked a very flattering dress for her.

“Okay, so, can you-” y/n says, stopping when she sees her boyfriend standing before her in a daze with her favorite flowers in his hands.

“Aaawe, Tommy! They’re beautiful!” She gushes, approaching him.

“Huh? What? Oh, uh, yeah” Tom laughs nervously, his eyes still trailing over her body.

“I know they’re not in season but I found a place that has them” he says, forcing himself to focus on her eyes like the gentleman he wants to be tonight.

She smiles brightly, “they’re stunning, I’m such a lucky girl you’ve always remembered my favorite flowers”.

“Anything for my queen” Tom says, handing them to her.

She lifts them to her nose to cover her blushing cheeks as she pretends to smell them.

Noticing her boyfriend still standing before her slack jawed, she smirks, “You're staring. I take it you like what you see?”.

“You…” Tom clears his throat, “you look…”.

Tom shakes his head and laughs at himself still getting flustered over her after two years, “You’re as beautiful as always darling”.

She blushes and sets the flowers on the counter, grateful Tom thought ahead and ordered them with a vase so they didn’t wilt while they went to dinner.

“Can you zip me?” Y/n laughs, the dress straps sliding down her arms.

Tom nods and gently grabs her waist to spin her around.

Tom reaches his hand down to where y/n left the zipper, just above her lower back.

He lets his fingers graze her skin as he pinches the zipper, causing a visible shiver to take over her body.

He smiles to himself, pleased at how responsive she still is to him.

He pulls the zipper up to her middle back, pausing to place a tender loving kiss on her bare shoulder.

“Tooomm” She whines, shaking her head.

Tom laughs and finishes zipping her dress and steps back.

Y/n spins in a circle one and Tom reaches out to steady her once she faces him again.

“You ready to go babe? Don’t want to be late” Tom asks, lifting her hand to his lips as he kisses her knuckles.

Y/n lets Tom’s lips linger for a moment before agreeing and letting him lead her outside.

“How was set?” Y/n asks, swinging their intertwined hands between them.

“It was good but no more work talk tonight” Tom says, squeezing her hand.

“Why not?” She asks as Tom props the door open for her with his free hand.

“Tonight is all about making you feel like the queen you are darling” Tom says, his cheeks flushing pink.

Y/n grins and tugs Tom to her as she passes through the apartment building door, “god I love you”.

“I love you too y/n y/m/n y/l/n” he responds.

“Are we taking the Honda?” Y/n asks, looking around for their car.

“Not tonight. Did you not just hear you’re getting treated like royalty tonight?” He teases.

“So-“ she pauses, seeing a gorgeous limousine pull in front of them.

“Tom, you didn’t” she whispers in shock.

“Mmm but I did dear” he chuckles, lifting her hand as he helps her step into the limo.

Tom laughs at y/N’s story about Tessa’s behavior after he left.

“Where are we eating? I’m starving” Y/n admits, changing the subject.

“Did you eat before your flight?” Tom asks worriedly.

Pressing her lips into a fine line, she shakes her head no, “I was running late”.

Tom sighs her smiles sweetly at her, “you still need to make time to eat”.

Y/n shrugs but laughs, signaling to him she knows.

“Le Bernardin, we should be there in only a few minutes” Tom promises, reaching forward towards the mini bar in the limo.

“But, these should hold you over darling” Tom smiles, bringing a tray of gourmet chocolate covered strawberries back to them.

“Oh my gosh these are amazing” She praises, covering her mouth as she finishes her first bite.

Tom laughs and presses a delicate kiss to her cheek.

“Anything for my queen” he muses.

"Mmm, you always smell amazing!" Y/n compliments, breathing in deeply as she leans into the right side of his body while his arm is over the back of her seat.

“Now, now, I’m not on the menu” Tom jokes, poking her nose.

Y/n blushes but hangs her head and pouts, “you’re not?”.

Tom has to look away as she flutters her eyelashes and stares up at him from her slouched position.

Composing himself, he leans over and leaves an open mouthed kiss on her neck, “you’re going to be the death of me darling”.

———Le Bernardin———

Y/n freezes part of the way out of the limo, one leg out, causing Tom to raise his left eyebrow as he keeps a hold of her hand in his palm.

Her eyes dance over his toned shoulders and the way his suit jacket is button making his chest more pronounced.

The lights from the outside of the restaurant causing a cascade of light on his devine facial features causing her to to lose her breath momentarily.

"I know you said you didn't want to be late, but you look amazing, and I'm trying not to kiss you senseless right now” she blurts, finally stepping out of the limo.

Tom lowers his head shyly and laughs softly.

He hooks his middle and ring finger under her chin, the ring on his pointer finger brush against her lower jaw.

She stills herself despite the iciness of his ring due to the crisp New York air around them.

Tom then clemently tilts her head up so he can see her glowing y/e/c eyes.

Y/n and Tom hold their lingering eye contact for what feels like eternity as she resists the urge to close the distance between them and kiss him.

Once Tom is finished scanning the details of her eyes, he runs his thumb across her bottom lip teasingly as his other fingers remain where they are.

His eyes flicker to her’s to ensure he has her attention before he turns his hand towards himself and presses a taunting kiss to his thumb that had been on her lip.

Tom hides his smirk as her eyes widen before glaring at him.

“Fine, be that way” y/n scoffs, abruptly stepping away and through the restaurant’s entrance.

Wordlessly, Tom uses his foot to prop the door open as he hastily reaches towards her.

He catches her wrist, breaking her stride and ending her departure.

He tenderly rubs his thumb from her wrist to her forearm and outwards in a sweeping motion.

Y/n turns towards him only once he tugs pleadingly on her wrist as his thumb returned to it’s starting place.

"You know you shouldn't tease me" she whispers, her voice wispier than normal.

Tom’s breath catches in his throat and y/n seems to notice as smirks.

"Somebody forgot their kiss” Tom remarks as he catches his breath.

“Someone lost their chance” y/n shrugs, stepping out of his grip on her wrist and closer to the reservation desk.

Tom sighs loudly and approaches the desk to ask for their table.

——— At their table at Le Bernardin———

"No, no, I’ve got it. I'll do it." Tom says, eagerly stepping in front of y/n as she attempts to pull out her chair.

“But, T-” she argues, her hand resting over his on the back of the chair.

“I said I'll do it." He smiles, sliding the chair out for her and helping her sit.

“Tom, did you reserve this whole place?” Y/n asks, noticing the glamorous restaurant is lit up but empty apart from their decorated table.

Tom bites his lip and nods, reaching across the table for her hand.

Before she can respond, their server approaches to take their drink order.

Tom orders their highest end champagne, asking for two glasses and then the remainder of the bottle brought out with it.

Y/n gasps as she finds the item on the menu and sees the price, “Tom, w-”

“Shh, a queen wants for nothing” he smiles, squeezing her hand.

Blushing, she shakes her head and mumbles “except a kiss”.

Tom laughs loudly and rolls his eyes, “I thought I missed my chance?”

“You did, but tonight’s about me” she teases, quoting him from earlier.

“That it is,” he agrees, standing up before kneeling beside her chair.

She tilts her head to the side as she watches him closely.

He signals her to lean down towards him, pleased as she complies.

When she’s close enough, Tom hooks his hand back under her chin and pulls her closer as he gives in and kisses her.

As she kisses him back, his hand slides up her jaw until his palm is pressed against her neck.

When they part for air, instead of giving Tom the pleasure of her gratitude, she decides to toy with him.

“You were choking me!"She scolds quietly.

“I thought you were into that” Tom blurts before loudly slapping his hand over his own mouth as his eyes widen.

Y/n’s face flashes red as she quietly laughs.

Scampering back to his seat, Tom bites his lip and lowers his hand; allowing her to see his face is even more red than her’s.

“I-I’m so sorry! I… whew okay, no more of that. Back to only behaving properly” Tom laughs nervously.

Smirking, she shakes her head, “Tom relax, you know I don’t mind you’re suggestive flirting”.

“I do. But-“ he pauses, letting the server finish their return to the table.

Once the glasses have been poured and they’ve ordered, the server leaves.

“But?” Y/n asks, lifting her glass slowly.

“But, a queen only dates a gentleman” Tom finishes.

“Mmm, not this queen” y/n winks, taking a sip of her champagne.

Tom runs a hand through the hair on the back of his upper neck, tonight’s going to be a long hard rough night for him.

"You're cute when you blush" y/n smiles, setting her glass back down.

———

"I notice when you stare at my lips, you know. You can just kiss me and get this awkward part out of the way." Y/n laughs, setting her napkin down.

Tom’s eyes flash to her’s and he shakes his head, “you’re too far away”.

Y/n hums and suddenly stands.

Tom watches in confusion as she moves her chair until it is pressed against his.

“Better?” She asks.

“Much” Tom smirks, pulling her in for a kiss, his hands cupping her face.

When they pull back, Tom cautiously grabs her plate and sets it down in front her.

Thanking him, she places her hand on his thigh as she resumes eating.

"I've never seen you squirm so much" y/n says, squeezing his twitching thigh under the table.

“I… can’t help it. I’m trying to but… I've been thinking about you all day" Tom mumbles, flexing his leg in hopes the muscles will block the tingling sensation of her hand.

"What’s the matter, love? You get nervous when I look at you like this?" Y/n asks, Tom resisting the urge to crumble at the bedroom eyes she’s giving him.

Tom gives himself a mental pep talk, reminding himself:

We’re in public.

This night is for her.

If she wants to tease you relentlessly, suck it up.

Just breathe.

"Stop looking at me seductively." He says, biting his lip aggressively.

“Tom that was my normal look, don’t be so paranoid” she laughs, but Tom swears he sees a mocking glint in her eyes.

"I love seeing you like this" she says casually, somehow managing to seductively take a bite of her dinner.

Tom’s insides are flipping unwaveringly as he makes a fist at his side in hopes it’ll clear his head.

"You're making it so hard to concentrate right now." He admits as she mindlessly drags her acrylic manicured fingernails up and down his thigh.

“Good, pay attention to me” she smirks.

"You're so dumb." He laughs, shaking his head at her comment.

“You love me” she giggles, shrugging.

Tom nods and kisses her cheek, “always my queen”.

———

"I want to kiss every inch of you” y/n says, her lips against his neck.

"Shut your mouth" he groans, his head tilted to the ceiling.

“I thought you liked it wide open Tommy?” she whispers, her hand roaming closer to his bulge.

Tom coughs and scoots back abruptly, his face a brighter red than her dress; prompting the wait staff to make their way to come check on them.

“Oops” y/n giggles, hiding her face in her hands at his outburst.

"Just play along, damn it. Please.” Tom begs, sitting back down as the staff approach.

“Hmm, please? Tom, you sound desperate love. What’s making you that way?” She whispers.

Tom fights a grin and playfully glares at her, “you know damn well that it’s you, darling”.

------

“I could stare at you forever” Tom blushes, grabbing y/N’s hand from his thigh to break the friction of her hand as she teasingly moves her hand to the more inner part of his thigh causing tightness in his dress pants.

“Creep” y/n laughs, her cheeks betraying how cute she finds his compliment.

Tom smiles, “did you have a good night my love?”

She nods, “one thing could make it better though…”

Tom furrows his brows as he waits for her to express her desire.

Instead of explaining herself verbally, she brings her free hand to his lap and her lips to his neck.

Tom clenches his jaw in an attempt to stay silent as his eyes flutter shut at the sudden pleasurable contact.

“Darling, you have got to stop being a tease. I can hardly resist you as is” Tom says breathlessly.

“Who’s going to stop me?” She asks in between pressing open mouth kisses to his neck and jaw.

“… that-… would… be me… actually” he shakingly responds, prying his eyes open.

“Mmm, really?” She asks, her swollen lips smirking against his clean shaven jawline.

“…no” Tom whimpers, a forceful tingle running course through his body.

“No? You don’t want me to stop?” Y/n teases, flattening her palm and removing her lips.

“God no” Tom blurts before he slaps a hand over his mouth.

So much for being a gentleman.

Y/n smirks, sitting up straight as she begins to raise the leg furthest from him.

“I thought you were going to be a gentleman?” She smirks, her raised leg getting closer to him.

“I can no longer be a gentleman if you keep this up” Tom whispers.

“Mmm” she smiles, placing her far leg over his lap, sliding until she’s straddling his hips.

“I’m not sure what you’re referring to” She jokes, Tom’s hands seizing her waist as she sways slightly at her movement.

As she begins to bring her face closer to Tom’s, a sudden realization hits him causing him to gently press her away from him.

Y/n frowns and Tom stifles a laugh before he focuses his attention on her eyes.

“My queen, I believe you’ve had too much to drink” Tom says as he sees the glassy appearance of her normally shimmering eyes.

“No” She argues, leaning back in his lap as she crosses her arms.

Tom gasps and clasps his hands on her sides as she tilts backwards more than she intended.

“You’re not dizzy?” Tom laughs.

Shaking her head minimally, she sways in his grip.

“Mmm clearly” he smirks. “Let’s get you home”

“Finally” She says, kissing his lips.

“Not for that my darling queen. Not tonight anyways” he argues.

After some resistance, Tom manages to get y/n off his lap and get himself situated so he can stand.

As he helps her stand up, he notices her wince.

“My feet hurt” she whines before he has the chance to ask.

Tom looks down at her heels and nods in understanding.

He helps her sit back down and removes her heels.

“Alright, that should be better. Our ride should be right outside “ Tom assures her, carrying her shoes as he helps her stand again.

Y/n silently clutches onto Tom’s body as he guides them to the door.

“Mr. Holland, Sir. We’re sorry, it seems some how people found out you were here “ the greeter says as he pays.

Tom groans and instantly looks down at y/n before sighing.

“Understood, thank you for the warning” He nods, his grip tightening on his girlfriend.

Frowning, he presses his lips to the top of her hair, “alright love, just stay close okay? I’ll get you to the car safely”.

She nods lazily, her eyes widening as she looks through the glass doors and sees the group of people waiting for them.

Tom sighs in annoyance and holds her heels in one hand and her waist with the other as he leads them to the door.

As they step through the first set of double doors, exposing them ever so slightly to the crisp New York air, y/n shivers.

Tom promptly removes his arm and sets her shoes down before shrugging off his suit jacket.

Due to her state, he helps her get her arms into the sleeves and buttons one of the buttons over her torso, “this way it doesn’t slip off”.

She grins at him appreciatively and kisses him as she forgets that people are watching.

Tom smiles and blushes as he grabs her heels and pulls her to his side for her safety before opening the last set of doors.

The moment the couple steps outside, the crowd surges and presses closer to them.

Tom’s jaw clenches in anger this time and squeezes her hip tenderly to reassure her.

“Change of plans, please stay behind me my darling queen” he whispers in her ear as he throws himself between her and the crowd of fans and paparazzi swarming them.

Tom sighs as he notices the vans of the paparazzi blocked the limo from returning to the agreed upon location.

He worked with the restaurant to ensure they called the driver (who had to park elsewhere upon dropping them off) when they were finishing so y/n wouldn’t need to wait.

However, the limo is much farther away than he preferred.

Tom glances back at her, smiling softly when she makes eye contact with him and tries to signal she’s okay.

He turns and focuses back on getting her to the limousine safely.

Tom was now regretting his decision to not bring security with them tonight.

He wanted it to be just the two of them and be as normal as possible.

But now he was the only one standing between the love of his life and the group of aggressive paparazzi and excessively eager fans.

Tom grips her hand with his empty hand, his arm twisted behind him to ensure he doesn’t lose her.

His body becomes more rigid as the crowd gets louder and closer.

“Please back up” Tom pleads.

The group ignores him and begin to yell various things at them to get their attention.

Tom knows better than to respond but can’t help his brain from responding internally.

“Y/n!” Leave her alone.

“Tom!” Not right now.

“Over here” No

“Just one picture!” If we wanted to have our picture taken, we would’ve.

“How was the date?” Seriously, you can tell it’s a date and yet you’re here hounding us?!

“Tom what’s wrong with your hair?” What?

“Y/n! Are you pregnant?” Excuse me?!

Tom fights the urge to respond but caves upon noticing y/n flinch behind him in response to the implication.

“It is none of your business” Tom growls, tugging her closer.

“Omg!!! That sounds like a yes” the girl screams.

“I knew she looked like it!” Another replies, making y/N’s steps falter.

Tom freezes and looks at her only to see her staring down at her stomach in shock.

Glaring back to the group, Tom raises his voice in a firm manner “no she does not. It isn’t your business, but no she’s not pregnant”.

“How you could even think she looks pregnant is beyond me. She looks just as drop dead gorgeous as she always does!” He growls.

“Now, please let us part” he pleads, pressing through the huddle to get closer to their car.

The group continues to shout at them and take photos but no one is idiotic enough to make another pregnancy comment or comment on her appearance.

Tom sighs in relief as he slides he heels to his pinky and ring fingers while his pointer finger and thumb tug the limo door open.

“Come here dear” he whispers, helping her step into the limousine and get seated.

Once he is certain she’s in securely, he leans down to kiss her forehead before shutting the door.

The limousine driver apologizes profusely once Tom has entered through the other door.

Tom expresses he is aware it’s not the man’s fault before sliding the divider between them.

He lets out a deep breath of air he was holding and smiles sadly over at her.

“‘ey darling it’s alright, they're gone now... are you alright?” He asks, holding her to his chest.

She nods against him slowly.

Feeling something is off, he guides her head off his chest, “my girl, look at me; are you hurt at all?"

"No, I’m okay... are you okay?" She asks, stroking his face.

He nods tightly, “are you sure you’re okay?”.

“It just hurts a bit is all, but-“ she whispers.

“Where?!” He panics, pressing his back against the leather seats to see her better.

“Where are you hurt? Please, show me where it hurts” he begs, his normally soft eyes now chaotic as they race over her body looking for harm.

“Jus’ my head T, it’s a headache ‘s all” she slurs slightly, resting back on his chest.

Tom deflates, glad she’s not injured but hating the fact the lights and yelling made her head hurt.

“I'm so Sorry darling” Tom sighs, rubbing his head in irritation.

“Not your fault Tommy” she says, snuggling closer.

“Still. I promised a nice private night you could enjoy. I know how scary it can be dealing with such large groups. I should’ve had security for us, I’m sorry” he admits.

"I knew you'd feel guilty but when I am near you, I finally know how it feels to breathe without worry, without caution. I just feel safe with you, I’m okay T. I promise” she says into his chest.

“I'm so glad I just wanted to go have the night you deserved, cheesy as it may be, you're my queen and you deserved to have a good night” he frowns, stroking her head.

“Tommy! You need to know every day I spend with you is the best day of my life” she says, squeezing his waist.

Tom blushes and kisses the top of her hair in response.

“Seriously. My only hope is that one day I can love myself as much as I love you and that you can love yourself as much as you love me” she adds, smiling and tilting her head to look at him.

“Thank god because I forget every beautiful thing in the universe, the moment you smile” he blushes, holding her close.

———

“Good evening Mr. Holland and Ms. Y/l/n, we are pleased to have you staying with us” the hotel receptionist greets as Tom helps y/n sit down on the extravagant lounge chair in the lobby.

Tom smiles politely as he approaches the desk to check them in and offers a friendly greeting.

“Here are your suite’s keys, and as discussed, there is a private elevator that will lead you straight to the Royal suite” the man explains, handing Tom a gold card.

“Do you need help with any bags?” The bellman asks, pausing to stand by Tom.

“No thank you, they should’ve already arrived” He says, knowing the arrangement be had with Harry to drop off y/N’s bag and Tom’s pre packed bag while they were at dinner.

“He is correct Mr. Hughes, they were brought up prior to your shift. Is there anything else we can help you with tonight Mr. Holland?” The receptionist questions.

Tom looks over at y/n who is patiently waiting and watching but looks tired.

Tom smiles and shakes his head no, “thank you mates but I’ve got it from here”.

“OhmygoshTomitissopretty” y/n mumbles when they reach the top floor.

“What?” He laughs, having no idea what she said.

“It is so pretty” she says, slurring less and spacing her words more carefully.

“You really like it?” Tom asks, guiding her inside more so the elevator can close and lock.

“I love it Tommy! Thank you, you didn’t need-“ She begins but Tom kisses her to cut her off.

“I’m glad you love it darling, it’s my pleasure” he whispers, unbuttoning his jacket she has on.

“It looks like… like something out of a movie… or like a castle! look at the chandelier!” She gasps, staring at the blinding Diamond and gold chandelier hanging from the foyer of their suite.

“I don’t know about a movie… but some royals have stayed here before” Tom laughs, a proud grin on his face.

“What?! I’m standing where royalty was standing?!” Y/n squeaks, suddenly dropping to the floor in a kneeling position as she places her palm on the floor.

Tom shakes his head and forces himself not to laugh, “yes darling, but you do know you yourself are royalty, so I don’t get the fuss”.

In all honesty, it was part of the reason Tom chose this particular hotel and this particular suite.

“I’m not Royal, Tom, but oh my gosh does this make me feel like it” She giggles gleefully, standing up and skipping to the next room.

Tom smiles to himself as he watches her sprint around the suite, the elegant red dress he bought her flowing endlessly as she does.

Once she’s completed all but the bedroom, she rushes to where Tom was watching from the corner of the room.

“Thank you T!” She smiles, kissing him softly.

“Anything for you darling” Tom promises, kissing the back of her hand.

“I’m not royalty Tommy” She laughs.

“You are to me” He blushes, squeezing her hand.

She bites her lip and grins at him, “there’s one more room!”

Her jaw drops as her gaze focuses on the enormous bed in the store Royal suite’s glamorous bedroom.

“This is so pretty, I really feel like a queen!” She sighs blissfully.

Tom grins widely and wraps his arms around her waist.

“You know…” she whispers, turning to face him with her eyes seductively looking him over.

“Hmm?” He asks, watching her eyes closely as his breath hitches.

Before she can respond, she yawns and giggles at herself, bringing Tom’s focus back to her current state.

He smiles and laughs, “let’s get you into some pajamas darling”.

“If you wanted to get me out of my pants, there are several ways to do that” y/n smirks as she lets Tom lead her to the bathroom.

The night before last Tom picked up some silky satin pajamas for them he purchased and asked Harry to leave them out for him.

Harry had joked about them not needing them, but Tom hoped he listened because if he hadn’t, it left them with nothing to wear to bed.

Tom was already having a difficult night trying to behave himself around her, he certainly didn’t need any more temptations.

Normally, he’d have no problem spending the night tangled in the sheets and each other’s arms.

But he knew she was exhausted and at a minimum decently tipsy from the champagne tonight.

“You’re not even wearing pants” tom teases, trying to change the direction of conversation.

“Oh! You’re right” y/n chuckles, “so you have to get me into pants first to get me out of them”.

Tom laughs at her rambling but agrees so he can have an easier time getting her dressed.

“Thank you T” y/n says while his fingers graze her low back as they finish undoing her zipper.

As she turns to face him, she lets the dress slide down her to the floor.

Tom struggles to maintain his composure as his eyes trace over her flawless body, realizing she was now bare before him.

“Like what you see?” She flirts.

“You know I always do” Tom admits, trying to focus his eyes on her beautiful facial features instead of anywhere below her neck.

Y/n smirks as she reaches for his dress shirt waistband, intentionally hovering her fingers a mere centimeter over his toned torso.

Tom digs his fingers into the palm of his hand as he tries not to quiver under her amorous touch, the desire for more contact fighting against him.

“God I missed you” she whispers, her lips against his neck after she’s pulled his shirt off.

“N-not tonight love” Tom says, trying to be firm.

“Oh…” she steps back, her eyes darting to the ground that is now between them.

“Sorry” she mumbles, grabbing her suitcase from the corner so she can get dressed.

“No, darling, you do not need to be sorry, not for that, ever” Tom rushes, trailing after her.

“I just… I thought you’d miss me like that too” she whispers, stepping into a pair of y/f/c panties before him.

Tom forces a swallow as he watches her toned arse bounce slightly at her abnormally unbalanced stance and shifts his eyes to the wall, “believe me… I do. But love you’re not sober enough right now”.

“I’m sober Tom” she pouts, swaying as she spins to face him.

Tom laughs, “proving my point darling”.

He reaches for her personalized pajama top on the counter and secures it on her as he tries not to stare at her exposed breasts.

“There,” Tom smiles, grabbing his set of pajamas.

“I’m sorry” y/n says, sitting down on the bathtub rim.

“What? Love, I told you-“ Tom argues, facing her as he throws his shirt on quickly.

“No.., for drinking too much” she corrects, frowning at her long legs stretched out before her.

“Mmm, you don’t need to be sorry for that either. You don’t over do it love, I just want to be on the safe side” he responds, lowering his dress pants.

Y/n smiles softly and nods, her tired gaze still on her lap.

“Okay. Thank you for always looking out for me Tommy and treating me so well” she says, in awe at how protective he’s being even regards to himself after they’ve been together for so long already.

“Always, you’re my queen and you’re going to be treated as such” he blushes, feeling proud of himself.

After Tom helps her into the oversized bed, he gets in next to her, his arm reaching over to ensure she is tucked in.

“We can still cuddle right?” Y/n asks, giving Tom a pleading look.

Tom chuckles, “yes darling, we can always cuddle”.

She grins widely and promptly squishes herself against him.

When y/n yawns for the third time in less than five minutes, Tom turns the already dimmed light off completely.

“Rest my dear, we can finish catching up tomorrow” he promises, kissing her forehead.

Y/n smiles against his collarbone and nods, “thank you again for tonight Tom. Seriously, so immensely thankful”.

“You’re very welcome my queen, now close your eyes” Tom says, adamantly watching in the dark to ensure her eyelids close.

Once he feels she’s actually asleep, he kisses the top of her head once more before letting himself drift off to sleep.

————

“This is ungodly good” y/n praises, continuing to eat the breakfast room service delivered this morning.

Tom nods his head in agreement, pleased the hotel’s kitchen did such a great job making her favorite breakfast food.

“And you,” she says, reaching across the table to him, “are ungodly sweet and so cute”.

Tom blushes and hides behind his napkin.

“Mmmnmm no, I need to see those dimples” she scolds, tearing the napkin from his hands.

———

“I’m going to shower love” Tom says, standing up once she’s finished her story.

“They have a spa that I made us some reservations for” he adds.

“Oh?” Y/n smiles.

“I’ll be fast, then we can go. I just really need to fix this hair” Tom says, pulling at his messy head.

Y/n giggles and nods, smiling to himself as she watches him slink to the giant bathroom.

After taking countless photos of the incredible suite Tom booked for them for her memories, she decides to check Twitter.

Her eyes widen as she notices fans started posting about her evening last night.

Of course there are some talking about the pregnancy comment that was made.

Rolling her eyes, she keeps scrolling only to see someone asking why she and Tom are trending.

Not realizing this and not understanding herself, she looks at the thread.

A huge smile takes over her confused expression as she reads the fans raving about Tom and how he treated her.

She screenshots her favorite thread and walks to the bathroom to find Tom.

“Tommy?” She calls out, stepping into the foggy bathroom.

“Darling, everything alright?” He questions, barely having wrapped a towel around his lower half.

“Did you tell the fans to call me a queen?” She asks, pressing her hands on his chiseled and damp chest.

“No” He says, his confusion causes it to come out as a question.

“Look” She smiles proudly at her boyfriend, handing him her phone with the screenshot loaded.

Tom blushes as he reads the comments and then glances back up at y/n.

“I’m sorry they interrupted us, but at least they know you’re my queen” he smirks.

Y/n laughs, “and you’re my king Mr. Holland”.

“Is it bad to say that someday I want to call you Mrs. Holland?” Tom blurts, his hands on her waist.

Eyes wide, she grins and shakes her head, “no, I love the sound of that, even more than being your queen”.

“Mmm you’d still be my queen though” He smiles, hungrily kissing her jaw.

“I really did miss you” he admits, his lips still on her skin.

“Prove it” she jokes, playing with his wet hair.

“You’re going to be the death of me” Tom sighs, his tongue dragging across her sweet spot causing her to moan quietly.

“You can be louder than that” Tom scolds, pursing his lips to create suction in the same spot on her neck as his cold hands lower to her waist.

“You have… to earn… it” she says breathlessly, her chest shaking.

Up for the challenge, Tom snakes his fingertips under her top and teasingly up her stomach.

Once she arches slightly at his touch, Tom removes his hands and scoops her up in his arms.

“Fuuck I love your arms” she compliments, her soft fingers running up his biceps as he carries her to the nearest room.

Tom lays her down on the sofa, straddling her as he brings his hands back to her supple body.

“Tom, I can’t feel your arms when you do that” y/n whines causing Tom to laugh against her as his lips move lower on her shoulder.

Giving in, she dips her head and begins peppering needy kisses along his arms instead now that they’re in a position that pinning her’s down.

Y/N’s eyes squeeze shut as he tilts her head back over the arm of the couch, his hand supporting it.

“Don’t ever” Tom gasps, only needing one hand as he begins ripping the buttons off her pajama top in a fiery rush to get it out of his way.

“Ever” he continues, his crooked nose sliding down the space between her exposed breasts.

“Let me be without you for that long again” his touseled hair running over her chest as he presses a delicate kiss to her ribs.

His other hand wraps under her body, pulling her to him by her waist.

The intensity of the situation and the warmth created by the presence of his pouted lips kissing anywhere but her lips leaves y/n limp in his arms as she clears her mind of anything but this moment.

Tom grips her firmly, more than pleased to have her back in his arms and no longer forcing himself to keep his hands off her.

Y/n forces a nod in agreement, unable to speak.

“Promise?” Tom pleads, his breath warm against her.

She composes herself, tugging on Tom’s hair to get him to lean back.

Tom lets out a craving whine at the sensation, his ebony brown eyes meeting her’s as they reopen.

Noticing the aching behind his intense gaze, she smirks, bringing her face closer to his in a tauntingly slow manner.

“Promise” She whispers, her plump lips just out of reach of his.

Tom’s eyes flicker a darker shade of brown as closes the gap between their lips eagerly.

Tom’s lips are not acting in his usual loving and gentle way.

Instead, y/n feels this longing desire, a desperation, behind them as if he was practically starving without her touch.

She attempts to exhibit just as much intensity behind her kiss as she slides her fingers down his athletic torso.

It’s only when her long fingers reach the towel that has loosened around his hips that he parts his lips from her’s as he gasps.

“How interested in the spa are you?” He asks, his British accent thickening the air around them.

“Now? Not at all” She responds, flirtatiously slipping a finger under his towel at the edge of his defined v-line.

“Good” he chokes out, his lips once again diving for her neck.

“Because I’m going to worship you and your body until you see yourself as the queen you are” He smirks, one hand lowering to squeeze her arse as she arches off the couch below them when he begins sucking on her throat.

“I hope you’re up for a long night my darling” he whispers, a clear infatuation behind his deep tone.

2022 Book Review

so the first thing I noticed, looking back at what I read this year, is that I haven't read any books that blew me away (with one exception, see below). Unlike 2021 (see last year's posts here and a short one here) when I read books that left me with my jaw on the floor. The other thing I noticed is that in 2022 I went for a lot of rereads. I'm a big re-reader, if I love something I want to expose myself to it as often as I can, but this year I reread way more than I normally do. Then again, I've had a super busy summer and some pretty tough months following that, so it's not so surprising I sought out familiarity and comfort.

Total books read: (if I finish current read) 82 81

Books that stood out in 2022 and other musings:

I. The Queen's Thief series (you'll also see me refer to it as The Thief). Prob my most enjoyable read of the year. Two of the six books thrilled me in a way I hadn't felt in yonks and the other four were pretty good too. Also: A. I'm proud of starting and finishing a series in the same year, it doesn't always happen. B. jfc I have a new blorbo I'd die for.

II. The Wimsey books. I started going through them chronologically and read all of them (bar one, I think). I'm pleased that I started the series and finished it--like I said above, it doesn't often happen, esp in recent years. These are murder mysteries featuring a Duke's younger brother as the amateur sleuth. The mysteries aren't Agatha Christie level of competence (I figured out several murderers before the reveal and I'm not even particularly good at this), nor are all the novels equally good, but Sayer's witty prose was a true joy and her dialogue is a masterpiece.

III. Other top books of the year:

Siren Queen (queer SFF), Black Sun (native American inspired SFF), The Atlas Six (dark academia SFF), How to Bang a Billionaire (contemporary m/m romance), The Goldfinch (contemporary literary), Hogfather (fantasy, humour), and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (historical fantasy, am at 70% and really loving it).

IV. I'm always excited to see fanfic authors moving on to original fic and I try to support those authors when I can. I've now created a shelf on my GoodReads so I can keep track. This year I read A Restless Truth, the sequel to Marvellous Light by Freya Marske, which was tremendously engaging, and I also read the self-published duology Magpie Ballads (Elegy is the first novel's title) by Vale Aida (only on Amazon atm). This author is superb, I truly love their writing style and how confidently they handle their craft (description, dialogue, narration etc). I have Thoughts TM on plot and story, but overall a very strong debut.

V. The exception (mentioned above): Lymond. What else. I finished Pawn in Frankincense in January and it destroyed me. Absolutely left me in a puddle weeping on the floor. I'd stalled in the book (and series) halfway through for years now. Each 1st Jan I'd be like "...and I need to finish the Lymond books this year!!!!" and it never happened--but then, in 2022, it (almost) did. I also read The Ringed Castle in autumn and am one third in Checkmate. Progress! (I had high hopes of finishing CM before NY but alas. Still trying to finish another long book.) Anyway, Pawn in Frankincense is the novel that blew me away in 2022.

VI. The new thing of the year: receiving daily-ish emails in my inbox with chapters from a classic book. I didn't go for Dracula as I read it some years ago but I signed up for Dangerous Liaisons. I was familiar with the plot, having watched the amazing adaptation (and the other, less than amazing one), but I still enjoyed the book a great deal. Receiving the letters in my inbox was a new and fun experience.

VII. Disappointments! Let's have some of those. The Glass Hotel: found it bleak and dull; DNF'ed it but I might return to it when I've got the energy for a slow story. Wilder Girls: not quite a disappointment but it could've done a lot more with that unique premise. Time Is A Mother (poetry collection): sacrilegious perhaps, but Vuong's Night Sky with Exit Wounds is unparalleled and this one suffers in comparison. Alix E Harrow has turned out to be a hit-or-miss author for me after all. Although I loved the first installment of her fairytale verse, I found A Mirror Mended lacked the depth of the first novella. Good but not memorable. And finally Nghi Vo's Into the Riverlands, the third novella of her Singing Hills Cycle, was OK. A decent read but nothing more.

VIII. I don't read non-fiction at all, it's really not my thing, unless it's books on the writing craft. I used to seek them out avidly, but not anymore. After going through a couple dozen of these books, you realise they all start sounding alike. That being said, writing craft books can be motivating during times of block and often you might find a few gems of advice that can be very inspiring. This year I only read one such book (Writing 21st Century Fiction by D. Maas), which was nothing ground-breaking but included a few exercises that I'm eager to try.

1 I want to hear this story

and ye shall receive this blessing, for o’ dear mother of mine is not answering my texts // link

transphobia tw dur

SO once upon a time i was nonbinary. i still am i just wanted to say that

tldr this friend’s mom has a history of being transphobic. deliberately not respecting pronouns, talking shit about trans people’s backs, etc etc. She invited me over for my bday and booked me + my friend a hotel (it was kinda eh tbh but whatever)

So i tell her hey! my pronouns are they/them. i don’t have a gender. :) and at first she’s like oh okay thanks for telling me but as each day passes she keeps referring to us as women. ok for my friend but i’m like >:/? Bc i told her about it. so i’m like ?? these are ny pronouns and she’s like oh my gosh i’m so sorry but she KEEPS DOING IT. i put up with it for the rest of the vaca cuz i could not be bothered to bitch at her bht me and my friend were like ugh what’s wrong with her

cut to my last day on the trip, we’re driving back to the airport. by this point i learned some Other dumb and rude shit she did and i’m not having her shit anymore. she waves goodbye and i say very loudly “and by the way i’m not a girl :)”

apparently this doesn’t go over well because my friend texts me a couple mins later like “my mom is bitching about you saying when did she change her gender and pronouns blah blah blah” and i am PISSED. Imagine simcoe screaming WRONG WAY pissed because that’s going to be me in two seconds. i ask my friend to give me her number, she does and i call her. let her know “hey i made it in i’m alive :)” as a calm before the storm thing then i immediately put her on blast and yell at her pver phone in front of anyone who was unlucky enough to be within earshot (aka like at least 10 people). i’m like I TOLD YOU MY PRONOUNS MULTIPLE TIMES. WHAT THE FUCK. CAN I CALL YOU AN IT? IS THAT HOW IT WORKS? EVEN IF YOU WANT TO USE SHE? I THINK IT SUITS YOU BETTER SO CAN I CALL YOU THAT?

she tries to shoot back by being like “(name) i booked you your hotel” and i’m like “I DON’T CARE!!!! YOU WERE A DISRESPECTFUL PIECE OF SHIT. FUCK OFF.” and i hang up, feel pretty good about myself but feel bad for anyone who had to hear that

my friend texts me later and apparently i freaked her out enough that she had a panic attack on the spot, banned me from ever visiting my friend again (which is funny cuz that was going into my hs sr year so like… ???? Ma’am we’re gonna be adults.), said my parents were criminals (xenophobia/racism moment?), and apparently i put her back on anxiety meds or some shit. sucks to be you queen maybe don’t piss me off

#ask #like. what the fuck lol you had it coming #listen boss if you misgender me as a genuine mistake idc it doenst bother me #i literally don’t mind being called feminine terms. i care about you respecting my wishes #and she fucked up big time ;)#archi 1 - 0 transphobe

50 Cent executive MBA Class Omari Hardwick style class it's a style and look

Suits and ties

The town go back to 50 Cent and I get a piece of the action ( New York City ) As an MBA conducting my business in New York the 16th captain and current captain of New York City I made NY Yankees history , thank you .

And I'm going for riverside drive

The new ferry Sports centurion museum and factories for manufacturing and production .

And I'll take Manhattan at least the great parts of it to conduct business as a mover and shaker And Queens business centers .

Then I also am going global with my business and music and betterment movement .

In return I draw up politics to fix up the Bronx , Brooklyn , Harlem , Staten Island and Queens

Politics - ✓Living wages minimum wage increase and tax cuts ✓Job safety and secure in occupation act ✓Fair chance act to compete for jobs ✓Increased employment opportunities in New York City for the formerly incarcerated and full time and permanent employment for people on human resources administration public assistance Into full stable employment with union protection securing their job and future .

New York City accomplishments

I got hotels for the homeless in New York City 2021

I got Amazon workers their union contract

I got Starbucks workers their union contract

I got the minimum wage increased from $ 11 dollars an hour to $ 15 dollars to $ 17 dollars an hour

I got the fair chance to compete for a job act of 2019 in New York City and California hopefully other cities and countries are going to follow suit

I legalized marijuana in New York City

I cleaned up fox square in Brooklyn , NY

Free college education in New York City

Free gym membership for people on Medicare

Citi bikes for New Yorkers

Benefit monetary assistance increase for snap and cash assistance recipients

Rikers Island tablet program podcasts and video games for inmates in jail to help stop crime violent crime in prison and to help rehabilitate the guy or woman and stop the back and forth of them going to jail . The tablet have podcasts and programs for Job Search legal research and books to read to help them become better citizens in the free society .

Laws I'm proposing

Fair banking act - 2022

Retirement investment plan for employees IRA act - 2022

Ready , willing and able Expansive territory act - 2023

Riverside drive Expansion project act - 2023

NYCHA ( New York City Housing projects ) plans and ideas for improvement

The New Trench town rock - 2021 , 2022 , 2023

And many other pitches and proposals rebuilding the workforce , wages and structure of New York city and cities like New York .

Next order of business : My Plans for infrastructure in a utopian society hotels jobs pay raise on citizens paycheck from 15 $ - 17 $ dollars minimum wage pay to 19$ dollars to 20$ dollars an hour to better provide for all costs emergencies uncovered insurance payments due to partial health care coverage and full union membership granted to employees of any company free education grants and school loans payment plans

Pay raise for school teachers in every city at junior high school , high school and elementary school level since they are stewards of our children's future .

Pay raise for civil service workers and Civil service exams made and updated daily to the public , school crossing guards , correction officers , supervisors , probation officers , construction site supervisors .

Pay raise for day care workers

Free day care services for temporarily unemployed mothers and fathers

Pay raise for city fire fighters and police officers .

Job contractors fulfilling contracts with back to work public assistance programs that train and employ job candidates without their high school diploma or GED and granting them full employment with full medical and medicare coverage union membership and back to school Acces Vocational rehabilitation counseling and restoration of financial aid assistance for non violent crimes like drug sellers and abusers to stop recidivism to prison and to cure an addiction to a habit of committing perpetual crimes thus creating repeat offenders .

Jobs moving back to inner cities through the effort of study and research groups from urban planning courses from their neighboring colleges .

Tax abatement and financial incentives and business incentives and tax breaks .

Joe Biden and vice president Kamala Harris should include this law into all of their plan for cleaning up America I'm glad to see it go beyond New York City and other counties in New York I want to share this honor with author Michelle Alexander who I did my research from her book about mass incarceration of the black and Latino community and the political office and my friends that help put this law in place I reached out to hopefully stop the recidivism to prison and hopefully to help some of my friends and people that go back and forth to jail because they couldn't get a job due to the felonies on their record I recommend a certificate of relief of disabilities to all people returning to society if they haven't given you one go get it from your county's or borough courthouse it works wonders .

Next order of business : Tax cuts to help the everyday person keep more of their check in their pockets cut the tax rates in New York City by 4 percent I see it as New York State taxes % 8.82 to % 4 percent and business tax cuts to create more jobs Proposal For a Wage increase of $ 22 dollars an hour Including : Fire safety directors Security guards Librarians Fed Ex workers UPS workers Ready Willing and able with free vocational grants from access vr programs they should hire vocational rehabilitation counselors and job developers finding permanent housing and permanent job placement after the clients training Stock Clerks and cashier's at major stores like Gristedes , C Town , met foods , Burlington coat factory wage increase for all warehousing and factory workers jack pallet and forklift training for people with no experience and a starting salary at $ 17 - 19 $ dollars an hour and it increase with more time on the job how about the first year at that base salary of $ 17 - 19 $ dollars and on the even of that year the employee gets an raise of $ 2 dollars more on their check and other financial incentives as cash allocation from their check for newly place employee mutual fund packages besides with other benefits that said company is offering this helps to place that company on the stock market grant their employees preferred stock options from their company that they work for at that current moment and because of the huge huge employee buy in it is like the employers are investing in their employees and their stores and company .

Educational requirements for jobs posted is less than a high school diploma but the job candidate has to be in a vocational program or GED preparation course half or full time hours .

Civil service jobs and exams posted weekly .

Sales professional salary plus commission on sales and stock options for mutual funds packages as bonuses with an wage increase to $ 19 dollars to $ 21 dollars an hour .

Newly added benefits to a job description benefits an employer on jobs posted give to their employees an employer get to hold back cash or take money out of an employees check to put towards a mutual funds stock fund option to help that client make more money as a second job the municipals funds and stock and funds and stock and then you gotta get hedge funds option packaged in to help the employees money make more money for them talk about overtime whew and at the same time that local market and store owner can put his company on the stock market and give out public shares thus in the end making it a good investment a regular place of shopping in a family like environment it is like getting to know your deli clerk , butcher , bakery attendant again only this time you are making money with the people you are spending money with Think about it that in turns build better communities better stores customer relationships safer neighborhoods and the beautifying of economically depressed environments more money for your kids college tuition school supplies newer roads being built leading to and from better neighborhoods and businesses and this is a future that we all as fellow New Yorkers can build together .

New Infrastructure plans

Emperor Dom Pedro abolished slavery in Brazil .
