#I'm a sucker for romance πŸ˜‚

<3 I’ve always been a fan of a Cinderella Story’s plot of being friends through the written word and falling in love with the person for who they are vs what they look like. Maybe a romance with Lando, Max or Charles where PR convinced them that it would be a good idea to have a penpal via Skype/Email/letter/burner phone. Neither individual knows anything about the other and they slowly fall in love? Max would be the funniest simply because it seems so out of norm but I bet he’s a closet romantic.
The other idea is the soulmate au! With the first words your soulmate would say to you written on your skin. β€œSo you drive around in circles and go zoom zoom?” Would be so funny πŸ˜‚
pen pals β€” max verstappen
pairing: max verstappen x fem!reader
summary: max's PR team decide to give him a softer edge through embarking on a journey with a pen pal.
warnings: idiots in love
a/n: this one is rushed because i have a super busy weekend but I'm still happy with how it turned out
Tumblr media
Max lounged in his loft, staring at the email from his publicist. The words blurred together as he read the sentence for the umpteenth time: "We’ve got an idea that could spice up your imageβ€”a pen pal." He chuckled, shaking his head at the sheer randomness of the suggestion. His publicist, always one for unconventional ideas, had outdone herself this time.
With a shrug, Max leaned back and started typing.
Tumblr media
Subject: The Chronicles of the Mysterious Pen Pal
Hey there,
Max here, intrigued and slightly amused at the prospect of embarking on a pen pal adventure. So, mystery person, I'm guessing you've been assigned the enigmatic role of my secret confidant. Congratulations! You're in for a wild ride.
Let's kick things off with some fun facts: I have an uncanny talent for geography and an insatiable love for terrible jokes. I also have a knack for finding the best hole-in-the-wall eateries in any city. Trust me, it's a talent.
Now it’s your turn! What's your story? Any quirks or hidden talents? Feel free to spill the beans; I promise not to judge.
Looking forward to unravelling this mysterious exchange,
Max
Tumblr media
With a smirk, he hit send, half-expecting this whole pen pal thing to fizzle out into nothingness. But days later, a response popped up in his inbox, sparking his curiosity.
Tumblr media
Subject: Re: The Chronicles of the Mysterious Pen Pal
Hey Max,
Well, I guess I've been unwittingly cast in the role of your mysterious pen pal. I must say, your introduction brought a smile to my face.
As for me, I'm a sucker for old bookstores and late-night stargazing. My days are a chaotic blend of work deadlines and spontaneous coffee runs. Oh, and I might have a legendary cookie recipe up my sleeve.
Your terrible jokes definitely add to the enigma. Let's see where this clandestine exchange takes us.
Till the next email,
Tumblr media
Max found himself eagerly responding, a grin tugging at his lips as he divulged tales of his recent escapades and shared snippets of his life beyond the glitz and glamour of his public persona.
What started as an unconventional PR stunt soon evolved into something more profound. Their messages became a lifeline in the chaos, a sanctuary where they shared their dreams, fears, and the intricacies of their worlds. Max found himself confiding in this unseen confidant in ways he hadn't with anyone else, even Daniel.
Months passed, marked by a trail of emails filled with laughter, advice, and genuine connection. The initial mystery behind the screen had dissolved, revealing a person with whom Max felt an inexplicable bond.
He eagerly awaited each following message, each a beacon of light in his otherwise bustling life. There was a comfort in their conversations, a familiarity that made him feel understood in a way he hadn't before.
The exchange of emails between Max and his mystery pen pal continued to blossom. They shared stories of childhood memories, favourite books, and dreams that kept them awake at night. Max found himself drawn to the depth of their conversations, the way his mystery pen pal seemed to unravel parts of themselves with each email.
Tumblr media
Subject: Taking a Leap Beyond the Screen
Dear Mystery Adventurer,
There’s something I’ve been pondering lately, something that feels like the next step in our digital escapade. How about taking this beyond the confines of our trusty emails?
Here’s an idea: what if we exchanged numbers? I know it’s a bit nerve-wracking, but think about the thrill of hearing each other's voices without the filter of text. Consider it an adventure in itself.
I’ll eagerly await your response, perhaps with a hint of nervous anticipation.
Curiously yours,
Max
Tumblr media
Max nervously hit send, hoping he hadn’t overstepped. But within moments, a response popped up in his inbox.
Subject: Re: Taking a Leap Beyond the Screen
Max,
I couldn’t agree more. While the prospect of hearing your voice feels like a leap into uncharted territoryβ€” it’s one I’m willing to take. So, here’s my number. Let’s embark on this new adventure, shall we?
Anticipating the sound of your voice,
Tumblr media
The phone rang twice before a warm and inviting voice greeted Max on the other end. He felt a rush of nervous excitement as he answered.
"Hello?" Max said, trying to sound calm despite the butterflies in his stomach.
"Hi, it's me," came the voice, and Max's heart skipped a beat at the familiarity of it. "I can't believe we're actually doing this."
"Neither can I," Max chuckled, feeling a wave of relief at the ease of the conversation.
There was a brief pause, the silence filled with anticipation.
"You know," the voice continued, "your accent is even more charming over the phone. It's like listening to a familiar melody."
Max felt a rush of warmth at the compliment. "Well, your voice... it's like a soothing symphony. Beautiful yet wonderfully new."
They laughed, the tension dissipating with every shared chuckle. The conversation flowed seamlessly as they exchanged anecdotes and shared their thoughts, from favourite books to travel adventures.
"You’ve got this way of making the ordinary sound extraordinary," Max admitted, feeling more at ease with every passing minute.
"And you have a knack for making me smile, even through a phone call," the voice replied, and Max couldn’t help but smile too.
Their conversation lingered, each word feeling like a step closer in their blossoming connection. Speaking in even further detail about their days. As the call drew to an end, there was a shared reluctance to hang up.
"Well, until our next conversation," Max said, a hint of shyness in his voice.
"Looking forward to it," the voice replied, a touch of excitement evident.
Max ended the call with a smile on his face, feeling a newfound sense of exhilaration and warmth from their first conversationβ€”a moment that marked the beginning of something undeniably special between them.
Tumblr media
Subject: Revelations Beyond the Screen
Hey,
I hope it’s not too forward to say this, but hearing your voice feels like a revelation. Your laughter is infectious, and it’s like your words carry a world of stories within them.
I have to admit, your accent adds a certain charm to everything you say. It’s like listening to a familiar sound in a foreign country.
I’m curious, though. What was your first impression upon hearing my voice?
On a completely unrelated note, I’ve been pondering the idea of inviting my mystery pen pal to a certain Grand Prix race looming on the horizon. Interested in witnessing the chaos firsthand? I promise it’s much more exhilarating than my ramblings.
Eagerly awaiting your thoughts,
Max
Tumblr media
Max nervously hit send, hoping he hadn’t been too forward in his compliments. He anxiously awaited the response, his heart pounding in anticipation.
Tumblr media
Subject: Re: Revelations Beyond the Screen
Max,
Your words never fail to bring a smile to my face. Your voice? It’s captivating, to say the least. There’s an easiness in the way you speak as if every word carries a hidden depth.
And your accent? It’s like a warm embrace; it feels like discovering a treasure hidden in plain sight.
Honestly, hearing your voice has only deepened the intrigue I feel for you. It’s like getting to know a familiar stranger, and I can’t wait to unravel more layers.Β 
Admiring your voice from afar,
Tumblr media
Once again on the phone, they fell into conversation effortlessly, the words flowing as if they'd known each other for years. Laughter mingled with shared stories, creating a symphony of connection over the phone lines.
And then, in a moment of raw honesty, Max broached the topic that had been on his mind.
"You know, I mentioned the Grand Prix race in my last email. I was wondering if you’d consider coming. It would be incredible to have you there, to share that part of my world with you."
There was a pause on the other end, a pregnant silence that seemed to stretch for eternity.
"I’d love to," came the response, filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. "I mean, I’d be honored to be there."
Max’s heart soared. The invitation had been accepted, and he couldn’t wait to introduce his mystery pen pal to the whirlwind world of Formula 1 to show them a glimpse of the life he led beyond the screen.
Tumblr media
The airport buzzed with the chaotic rhythm of arrivals and departures. Max stood at the gate, fidgeting with nervous energy, his gaze fixated on the stream of passengers emerging from the arrival area.
And then, amid the throng of travellers, he spotted herβ€”her presence seemed to illuminate the bustling terminal. It was her, the person behind the digital words, the mystery pen pal he had grown to care for deeply.
Their eyes met across the distance, and everything around them faded. The moment stretched, time-bending as if unwilling to rush their first in-person encounter.
She approached, her steps hesitant yet purposeful. Max’s heart raced as he saw her smile widen, a mirrored reflection of his own. As she drew closer, he couldn’t help but marvel at how her eyes sparkled with excitement and nervousness.
There was an unspoken understanding between them, a familiarity that defied the fact that this was their first physical meeting. As she reached him, Max felt a surge of emotion, a rush of feelings he couldn’t quite articulate.
Without a second thought, he closed the remaining distance, wrapping her in a hug that felt like the culmination of a thousand unspoken emotions. She melted into his embrace, her arms encircling him in return.
Their hug spoke volumesβ€”months of written words and unexpressed emotions culminating in this singular moment of connection. Max felt her laughter reverberate against him, the sound echoing through the crowded terminal.
"Hey," Max managed, his voice laced with a mix of relief and exhilaration.
"Hey yourself," she replied, a hint of laughter dancing in her words.
They held onto each other, reluctant to break the embrace. It was a feeling of comfort, of finding solace in the arms of someone who had been a constant in their lives despite the physical distance.
Finally pulling back slightly, they stood face to face, their eyes communicating a myriad of emotionsβ€”excitement, gratitude, and a silent acknowledgment of the significance of this moment.
"You’re real," Max said, almost in disbelief, earning a chuckle from her.
"And so are you," she replied, her voice tinged with happiness.
They stood there amidst the bustling airport, enveloped in a moment that seemed suspended in timeβ€”a moment that marked the beginning of their shared journey beyond digital conversations.
As they navigated through the airport, Max couldn’t shake off the feeling that this was just the start of an adventureβ€”one filled with laughter, shared experiences, and the joy of discovering each other in a world beyond screens and keyboards.

ASTROLOGY OBSERVATIONS PART 5 🌹Chiron in 1st house people can't seem to relax in pictures. They always either seem tensed, drawn like a bow string in photos.
🌹Lilith in 4th in my opinion isn't just not getting along with the women in their family, but being and growing up alienated from their relatives and family. They loose touch with their ancestral roots or there is some sort of shame associated with their identity in that regard. It's like they almost try to reject that part of themselves when presenting themselves to others. they are ashamed of, in this case, anything to do with certain facets of their family.
🌹Count yourself lucky if an air sign comes to you with their problems, and ask for ur opinion. They may seem confident, just like fire signs and like they can handle it all on their own, but while fire signs bulldoze through the issue without thinking twice, the air people have come up with 1000's of ways this scenario could play out and are internally freaking out lmao
🌹Mercury aspecting Neptune people are either excellent liars and manipulators ( in the sense they can manipulate any situation to their advantage) or they suck at lying and everyone knows when they're bluffing. It's usually indicated by the positive or negative aspects, both planets make.
🌹I don't know where the bad rep about having Natal mercury Rx and communication comes from. people say They turn the influence of mercury inwards, an in some ways, yeah true. They may make the individuals think things much more thoroughly before they talk, Make sure their point is clearly communicated etc etc. This actually makes them an excellent communicator. It doesn't interfere with the expression of mercury in my opinion. For that, we have to look at the sign mercury's present in and the aspects it makes.
🌹Sun conjunct Mercury people usually read a lot, and the sign it conjuncts in can show their favorite genre or the themes they may like in their books. For ex : I have it in Libra and of course I'm a sucker for those sweet sweet romance and Smutty novels.
🌹Libras are NOT pushovers. we need to emphasise this more lol. They will look like they're fluttering around here and there trying to decide on something. But in actuality they have already decided and they just weighing the pros and cons of that. Yeah they are an air sign but they're cardinal air. You can't convince cardinal people to move a fingernail if they don't wanna lmao
🌹Uranus and or Mercury in 3rd house, the house of mind, have a lot of ideas. But they're all either scattered or they come and go in a fleet, with the person not even conscious of it, much less process it and write it down. But sometimes their ideas are electric and revolutionary, especially Uranus, solving stuff in very unconventional ways and surprising everyone with their eccentric genius.
🌹If an air sign texts u DAILY, keeps in touch with you DAILY, then they love you lmao.. they take a minimum of 3 to 6 business days to text people back..so if they do it daily, consider yourself occupying a high position in an air signs life πŸ˜‚
🌹Venus - Neptune pisces venus 🀝 Venus Pluto scorpio venus : Falling for unattainable and elusive people and giving them more chances than they deserve.
🌹The ascendant of your ascendant persona chart also determines some of your physical features, it's not just your asc that determines your physical structure, and your ascendant of your ascendant persona chart isn't just how people see you. The sign your ascendant persona is in will contribute some factors in your appearance too. Along with the planets in 1st house if u have any.
🌹For example a sag rising with a Taurus in their asc persona, will have good thighs and legs but will also be very curvy and soft, with full lips and some venusian features.
🌹 Venus Pluto and scorpio venus people, being in love is their addiction. Not the person they fall in love with like most people assume, but the feelings their lover evoke in them, the way they lose themselves in their partner, and become one with them, that is their addiction.
🌹word of the wise : don't argue with people who have personal planets in Virgo. You'll be humiliated and proved wrong. Straight up. They don't get into arguments which aren't logical or which they aren't sure they'll win. So they go in prepared and armed. They're masters of rubbing Salt in the wounds
🌹 this is just a theory, but hear me out. Our 1st house and the planets in them have a large influence on our appearance. But..i also think, our 6th house plays a part in it too. Our 6th house affects our appearance too but in am indirect way. Our 6th house rules our health right and under that comes our weight, likes and dislikes in terms of food, our BMI etc.
🌹 case on point, me. So I'm a Sagittarius ascendant, and I have good hips and thighs. But I'm not tall. And I'm very much curvy. Although sag rising tends to produce that too, I've a fuller venusian figure. And i have Taurus in 6th house.

i love how we all come together here being needy for one old sexy grumpy fictional character πŸ˜‚
Tumblr media
"Why are you so obsessed with me?"
I've often wondered what exactly Five's appeal is. Why are we like this? I think it boils down to a few main reasons
There's the old classic: he's a flawed and/or violent man with a tragic backstory. That's an archetypal romantic hero. Whether consciously or not, we like to fantasise that the transformative power of our love could 'fix' him. (I see this as a flaw in the way our culture structures romance but yet I'm still a sucker for it).
Daddy issues. Just daddy issues.
Linked to the above, Five is confident and competent. Once you can be sure he's not going to murder you, he would protect the absolute shit out of you.
He's an old man in the body of a young man. It's the dream. He knows what to do and he can do it for as long as you need him to. 😏
Aidan Gallagher, while he doesn't float my boat out of character, is just angelically beautiful. He's a handsome man and he very kindly lends Five his face. Thanks man. Good job on that face.

You're that kind of person who'll never admit that they like someone even if they have a crush for 2 whole years. But still somehow you can't easily move on from your past crush or love. You're scared of the name of love . You see this as some kind of disease lol.

From this you always have a cool and calm demeanor. People won't know what's going on in your head and you won't even let them know. And you have a very extreme presence to you. Like people stop talking when they see you entering the room.

So, I'm a complete sucker for a good good romance. THIS particular elriel romance in WBITDG is my absolute favorite. And honestly? I'm reading other books to get the same feelings I get when I read your romance between Elain and Azriel, and they always fall short. They just don't compare, unfortunately. So thank you for taking the time to write this absolute beast of a fanfic and sharing it with fellow elriels as we wait to see sjm make a move on their story. I appreciate the hours/days/weeks you put into staring at your computer editing and wondering "Is this good enough?". Well, it's beyond good enough. Quite fantastic, if you ask me. I can't picture these two characters any other way.
Also, I'm so excited to read the full flashback of Elain and Az after the war. I look forward to more if it's in your plans.
Anywho, all this to say thank you.
This just made my week thank you.
The process is funny, it takes readers I dunno, 10-25 minutes to read an update. But each chapter takes me appx. 30 hours of writing / erasing / reworking / cringing / self loathing, rinse, repeat lol. This story has taken over my life this year. It's 520 pages long in novel format, can you believe?!
I know a lot of fandom writers write for themselves. But the deeply emotional nature of the darkgarden is not... fun. I am not writing it for my own enjoyment. I write for yall and so that Elain gets a love story that aches and burns and destroys worlds in the softest ways, no matter what happens in canon.
I frequently wish I had pursued something short, fun, sweet or sexy to try my hand at writing rather than taking on a full length angst+longing centric slow burn novel. but here we are πŸ˜‚
Thoughts like yours really makes it all so worth it. All my love to you, honeybee.
Ch. 33 up on Monday ish!

A/N: A Mother's Day drabble! Happy Mother's Day to any mums who sees thisπŸ₯°
This may or may not be my husband and I. Except I'm the sucker irlπŸ˜‚. This drabble could also be considered a part two to my Nessian pregnancy fic here.
Tumblr media
Nesta winnows into the balcony of the House of Wind, walking into the room with a wide smile on her face. She loves her family, she truly does. But there is nothing like a girls night with Emerie and Gwyn. Just the three of them catching up on life and the latest collection of romance novels.
She walks past the growing mess in the corridor to crack open the door of her daughter's room, poking her head in. Only to find the room empty. The bedsheet is rumpled and the blanket lies on the floor, casually tossed aside.
Oh no, he didn't.
She moves on to their room with suspicion brewing in her belly. She enters the room and closes the door with a quiet thud behind her.
And there they are
Their daughter is hidden from sight, safely cocooned under her father's large wing. Cassian's face is adorned with a soft affectionate smile as he watches over his precious daughter.
"Cassian!" Nesta hisses quietly, "We were supposed to get her used to sleeping in her own bed!"
Her mate reluctantly takes his eyes off his baby and gives her a helpless shrug, "She was crying papa!"
She huffs, looking away from the wide innocent hazel eyes and crosses her arms, "Put her back in her room."
Cassian has already turned his back to her and is once again facing his little angel, the soft look returning to his face, "But she's so cute. I'll move her in five minutes."
Nesta is not surprised to come back to the room after washing up to find her daughter curled up against her sleeping father. She takes a moment to take in the sight, letting it fill her heart and spill out of her chest. She slides in under the covers. Her lips curl into a smile as the wing covering her daughter lifts to envelope around her, bringing her into the fold.
Nesta breathes her family's presence in and feels herself drifting off. She can sleep in her own bed tomorrow. She can sleep with them just for tonight.

Fic authors self rec!
When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love!
(tagged by @tartarusknight thank you my dear <3)
Back to the Future (Hawkins Edition) - This will always be my favorite fic I've written I think. It's so special to me and I put a LOT of time and energy into it. I know it's Steve/OC which isn't for everyone, but it's less about romance and more about found family and the multiverse and healing from trauma and fighting to save the world (and also it's a fix-it fic for season 4). It's my longest fic but I'm so proud of it, so if it sounds interesting to you, go check it out! <3
i can't tune you out - This is my current WIP and I've had a blast writing it! I'm a sucker for Steddie enemies to lovers and in this AU they're both musicians so I get to write about music in a way I don't usually get to. Plus it's got a lot of plots about identity and sexuality and platonic love and overall I'm really proud of it!
Freaky Friday (Steddie's Version) - Idk why this one just hits for me but it does. Probably the most fun I've ever had writing something!
i wanna cut to the feeling - This was my first time writing a Steddie fic that wasn't a one shot, and I've never looked back! I know a lot of people find comfort in this one and that makes me so happy <3
Stranger Therapy - this one was special because I got to write MURRAY and also because I'm currently studying to be a therapist!
This was like choosing favorite children omg πŸ˜‚ No pressure tags to @steviesbicrisis @eriquin @disastardly and I can never remember who else writes but this was very fun so if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged <3

No you don't understand how much I love arulmozhi and vanathi! 😭 I read a long ass 5 part novel to see what happens to them in three days.. three days!! tHrEe dAYs!!!!
I am an absolute sucker for fated predicted romances with conflicts.. give me that uncertainty, give me the angst, give me stolen looks, give me the unending worry, give me the soft exchanges that only remain for a fleeting second, give me the subtle prioritisation, give me the i don't realise it yet but I'm in love, give me the yearning.. all of it and more!!
Most of all give me the i was wrong about you and I'm now smitten 😭❀️
Also AHEM SPOILERS :: but the scene where poonkuzhali snaps at arulmozhi because he basically gave vanathi the attention was like a finally having rain in a drought stricken land and then it was drought again 😭
Until the five book which I'm sooooooooo grateful for and sooooo mad at because wtf we deserved more of our idiots πŸ˜‚
Can someone tell me whether is Arun or arul- mozhi because I've seen people use both and I'm confuseddddd 😬
Also can someone pls write something for arulmozhi and vanathi? Pretty pls? ❀️

Flashback to 2019 when i was entertaining myself by figuring out how gravity falls (the cartoon) worked entirely via secondary sources (this is fun for me) ((i knew it was a kids' cartoon with probably no major canonical romances so i could stick to genfic, which helps enormously when trying to sieve for canon and not get suckered into elaborate parallel realities))
and the bit where i got briefly bogged down in how clearly we (the audience) ((not actually we i'm not in that category am i now)) received almost 0 information about the third Pines sibling from the grunkle generation, who logically had to exist to produce descendants (the main characters of the show), but how odd it was that almost everyone I'd seen register an opinion agreed on the basis of what really seemed to be None Data that it must be a brother, who'd had a son, and the one dissenter had given their Grandma Shermie OC an elaborate angsty backstory for no apparent reason.......
....and then i remembered the patriarchy is a thing. And that because of it, if they all had the same surname, it was very likely they were linked by bonds of agnatic kinship. Because that's how my own goddamn civilization works.
Whoops! Fancy forgetting a thing like that! πŸ˜‚

Welcome to my corner of the internet....
🩡I'm Jon, 33 and based in the UK
🩡Pretty introverted but once I'm comfortable with you I'm my usual chatty, friendly, weird and nerdy self.
🩡Started this blog as a fitblr about 9 years ago, lost over 6 stone but that was a few years ago now and I've packed it all back on. Realised life is about being happy as I am in the present and less about changing myself for others' opinions. Still want to lose weight and will but in my own time.
🩡I love music, movies, TV, gaming, being creative (photography, art, painting etc), DIY/home improvement, exploring, adventures, tech and more. Sucker for the horror genre and loves 90s slasher movies. Equally, I'm a sucker for romance/rom-com as I'm a hopeless romantic in my heart.
🩡All about self-love, body positivity, mental health awareness/support and just being a kind person. DNI if you are fatphobic, racist, transphobic, Anti-LGBTIQA+ or any other negative group.

I work a 9-5 office job (πŸ˜«πŸ˜‚) during the week and also run my own business selling art prints!
My artist name is DRAWSTAX and I started learning digital art in 2017 while going through cognitive behavioural therapy for my depression and anxiety. Started selling my art in 2019 on Etsy (here) and since I've grown and learnt new skills and sold my art to people around the globe, from USA, UK, Sweeden, Germany, Australia and many places in between. Still blows my mind! Check out the links below for my socials or @drawstax for my art Tumblr!

DM's and asks are always open if you want to say hey but please be patient with me as being introverted I don't always reply straight away. Due to previous experiences, please no dick pics and any NSFW messages or asks, send them to my side blog @fcked-up-demon
Thanks for taking the time to read this and feel free to say hey

Heya! Just wanted to start off with congrats on 1k followers!β™‘ And, I thought I'd try sending, if it is still open, of course! This will be Twisted Wonderland. When I first began, I took Lilia's hand. I simply adore his adorable physique on top of his rambunctious personality, which is why I chose him. They are still currently on my Twisted Wonderland home screen. 🀭 Cannot bare to take him off. Let's start off with me, an individual, who tends to be quiet at first. But, I'll be quite the friendly weirdo once I open up to those I meet. And, many of my friends tell me I'm the "mom friend" of our little group. So, I can relate to Lilia in a way. πŸ€” (Perhaps 🀭). And, I adore anime/manga and- yes, I enjoy video games. Depends on the plot or objective to the game. Little bit picky. Lastly, I'm very protective of those I deem to be family/friends. Moving along, I like to leave it to the writer. But, I'll offer some 'wants' to help out. πŸ‘Œ Yes, I'd like to be with the old man. I love him. VERY MUCH. So, Id say go ahead and make it romantic. I'm a sucker for it. πŸ‘ Definitely would love some fluff. I love the most fluff you can offer. And, I'd be quite ecstatic to see cuddles in it. πŸ™†β€β™‚οΈ Okie Doke. Have fun and surprise me. πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ
A/N: I heard cuddles and fluff and I immediately thought of...well, you'll see πŸ˜‚ Hope you love it!
A Tale in Which Lilia is a Silly Goose with His Lover
Lilia had never been able to resist a fascinating human. So when you popped into existence, he knew he had to play with you.
You were shy and quiet at first, but if he knew anything from raising three sons, there was nothing a good prank couldn't fix.
And that's how he had tricked you into opening up to him, and, eventually, falling head over heels for him.
Someone as old as Lilia knew it was important to keep the relationship fun so that the romance could survive.
He had told you he was going to the kitchen to fetch some snacks for you, but not so. Lilia was up to a hijinks.
He happily flew over to his bag that he'd brought with him to date night, and pulled out a pink sheet with eye holes cut into it so he could see.
He floated back into the room, and had to choke back his excited giggle, as he said, "Ooh! I'm the cuddle monster!"
You looked over at him, before giggling and letting out an excited squeak, getting up off the couch and going to the far side of it.
"Please don't eat me, cuddle monster," you laughed.
"I won't eat you, but I feed on cuddles.Β  Now give me all your cuddles!" He said in what would have been a spooky voice if he wasn't choking on his giggles.
You slowly began to edge your way around the couch, suspicious.
"That doesn't sound too bad," you said, remaining arms length away.
"Oh it's not," he suddenly pounced and wrapped his arms tightly around you. "Now you're trapped forever! FufufuΒ  the cuddle monster will feed on your cuddles forever and ever!"
"No!" You cried, fake struggling.
You both hit the edge of the sofa, and tumbled over in a heap, laughing hysterically. Lilia used the sheet to wrap you up, then wrapped himself around you, cuddling you tightly.
"Fufufu, trapped forever. You were no match for my tactical prowess," he said, stroking your hair.
"To be fair, I never stood a chance against you, in anything," you sighed dramatically.
"Nope, and don't you forget it," he said happily.
Then you heard Lilia's ring tone. He groaned, and sat up picking up his phone.Β 
"Hello Sebek, how's babysitting Grim going?" He said. After a pause, and some wild yelling that sounded vaguely like Sebek, Lilia sighed again.
"Okay, we're coming. Try to dig Silver out before we get there," he hung up, and looked at you with sad puppy eyes.
"My love, my life, my little bat, we gotta go be parents again," he said.
You giggled, and brushed some stray hair out of his eyes, before giving him a kiss to his forehead, and standing up.Β 
"There's no one I'd rather coparent with," you said, extending a hand, which he gladly took.
He wasn't too down for long, pulling you after him as you went to find out what your "children" had gotten up to while the cuddle monster was hunting you.

OMG I never would have thought about Mycroft and Ms Hudson that way before you mentioned it. Tell me more about that alternate universe where they got married? If you're still in the mood for answering *finger crossed*
I'm always in the mood for talking about Yuumori haha! Thanks for the ask!
We first see them interact in chapter 17 and they're already kinda friendly (in spite of Miss Hudson whispering to John that Mycroft is even more of a hassle than Sherlock lol). Then there's the whole adorable comforting milk tea thing in the later chapters, plus Miss Hudson being the one to basically express that she hated not being able to pass on to Mycroft that Sherlock was alive. So there's some things there to work with, though like almost every potential pairing in this series, I love them as much as friends as a romance. Indeed, there's actually something really special about the idea of a man and a woman in somewhat different stations forming a friendship in Victorian England. So I like it either way and lean towards preferring them as friends.
But as a ship, I think they would have a very mature, down-to-earth kind of romance. It wouldn't be some grand wild thing, it'd be...easy and comfortable and sweet. They're both independent adults who've made their own ways in life. It wouldn't be that kind of dramatic: "You complete me, I am not me without you" thing. Instead it would be, "I was already complete, but my life is better with you in it." And in some ways, the older I get the more I like that kind of love (though I'll always be a sucker for drama too lol).
Also, just imagine poor Miss Hudson trying to raise children with Sherlock as their uncle. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

So I read Elite Tag and:
Surprisingly I liked it? I thought I wouldn't like it because I had heard some bad reviews about it but when I read it, it wasn't as bad as I had heard :0 I think I specially liked it because 2 of the LIs already managed to catch my interest and they are:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Daniel and Ari! I'm seriously torn between them, I really like the banter and playfulness between Daniel and MC, he kinda reminds me of Mustafa and Noe and I think romancing the leader from the opposite team would be very interesting, Daniel is definitely some kind of ExTP.
But then there's also Ari ❀️ and oh cara mia, I'm a sucker for smart/wise men who can convince anyone with their words (like when Ari convinced the agent to give him the info) or who have knowledge about the human psyche ❀️
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also is it only me or Ari kinda reminds me of John vibes wise? And also I really loved how confidently his flirtings with MC were "You're attractive, that's a fact" ❀️ Ari is definitely some kind of IxTJ. I think I'm leaning towards Ari for now but I actually have more than one RC account so I don't have to choose πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚
Also I would have loved if these characters were LIs BUT:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But Rick is gay and Mikayla is married ;-; tho not going to lie, it would be interesting if Mikayla and her husband had an open marriage or were poly and they gave us a poly option where we're able to romance them β€οΈπŸ˜‚
Now theory time: Who is Mr. Tag? Who is the person MC remembered when she got home? She said "him", was it the man at the end? Or was she talking about her ex boyfriend? (she did mention she had a bad breakup) so what if Mr. Tag is MC's ex boyfriend and becomes an LI later on when his identity gets revealed?
Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the story, I want to see how it goes! ❀️

9 people to get to know better
thanks for tagging me @ghostradiodylan !!
1. Three ships: Rylan my beloved they do no wrong. theyre the epitome of awkward bashful and honest gay summer teen romance with the perfect contrasting note of horrific life threatening monsters which is unsurpassable genre peak. and yeah ngl its pretty rare that i get behind a ship but two others i can think of are amity/luz from the owl house (but mostly in season 1 because they do cute anxious crushing stuff and after that they just kind of turn into supportive gf A and supportive gf B), and legosi/louis from beastars because how do you just gloss over neurotic homophobe slut ptsd theatre twink x weird brooding puritan loser freudian pervert and the fact that it does WORK too like hello
2. First ever ship: i wanna say gregg and angus from night in the woods?? i remember i was in that weird sexual orientation puberty where you literally know you're gay but it's not like a consciously meaningful part of your identity so i remember seeing them and thinking wow that's cool that they're boyfriends i guess idk. also i'm inexorably drawn to their existence for some reason and my lockscreen is them cuddling with the lazy morning light peeking through the curtains
3. Last song: My Kink is Karma - Chappell Roan, im a sucker for moody electronic pop and that album DELIVERS
4. Last film: i watched the first three movies in a pirates of the caribbean marathon with some friends which ngl after the first one feels like trying to suck sugar water out of a sock 😢 the last film i personally chose to watch was the 1976 Carrie! it was nice being able to watch it and appreciate it as an adult with an education and not a teen recluse going "yeah carrie you show those villain highschoolers what's what"
5. Currently (re)reading: Shakespeare's Twelfth Night! i have my old copy from highschool open next to me and the 2012 shakespeare's globe production up and i just sit and sift between watching and reading and analysing it, just like when i first learned it in class. i'm not really sure why i wanted to reread it again in the first place, but i find it kind of soothing to read older texts where the language and culture's a little ways off from its modern successors. i find it calming to kind of pull those stories back in a way we can understand with its old contexts and writing, and see more and more of that timeless human experience shine through. sudoku for english nerds i guess LOL
6. Currently watching: my watcher's stamina has actually gotten so shit im ngl like i actually haven't watched a show in months 😭😭😭 the last show i watched was bluey (which was pretty good! (and pretty indicative of the kind of attention span ive got these days πŸ˜‚πŸ‘Œ))
7. Currently consuming: this horrible like nutraloaf nightmare bowl i made because my appetite was really poor today and at 5 pm or so i was like ugh well id better eat something quick and dense if im not gonna have a proper meal so i insulted God and put together reheated smashed potato (in the microwave so they lost all their crunch and flavour) + dried roasted edamame beans + peanut butter + regular butter + cheddar + yoghurt + whole salted almonds in a bowl and had a slice of walnut fig cake as a side. that thing needed a censor bar like i was in the trenches trying to get that down im ngl. eating that meal took more energy out of me than what it gave back like i knew i made something unholy and then immediately paid for it like it was so frankenstein and his monster right there on that kitchen counter
8. Currently craving: literally anything after that like god damn 😭😭😭😭😭 otherwise ive been hankering for a good chana masala and naan combo cus there's literally never a day where i'll turn south asian cuisine down like aw man i shouldve just gone out and got some of that to eat today ugh god damn it
also im ngl i don't really know who to tag cus i only started having a presence on tumblr like barely a month ago and ive only meaningfully interacted with like 3 people since then so um!! whoever's out there lurking around on my blog if ya wanna participate feel free! and either way, thanks for readin my ramblings regardless :)

❄️ β‡’ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?
🌸 β‡’ do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them
(Taking the opportunity to ask for more pics of your gorgeous, fluffy cats πŸ˜‚).
Haha thank you for the ask, and for giving me a reason to post more cat pics, Lettie! <333
❄️ β‡’ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?
Can I just say I wish someone would write my fics for me? πŸ˜… So many ideas, so few words written...
I'm a sucker for time loops (I have at least two plotted out, I'll get to them. Eventually...) and wistful love and bittersweet endings, so a mid-length fic featuring all of those might kill me with joy and sorrow. For who to write it, maybe @/penmanner? I love the way they write tomarry, balancing angst and fluff and romance and making the boys emotionally messy and confrontational.
🌸 β‡’ do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them
Cloud is the queen of the apartment. She's a sweet bean, but she'll absolutely cut you.

Poe is full of personality and not a lot of thoughts. She is baby, she's a ham.

They're sisters and hate each other, and are both polydactyls (all four feet of both kitties have at least one extra toe). Poe is an overachiever and has six or seven toes on both front paws. They're turning ten this month! @_@
