#Jenna: INSTANT SIBLINGS

[chaos-has-theories]

Do u remember when u said this bc I remember when u said this. Jenna being cerys and marcias kid is so fucking funny and I'm beyond a little bit obsessed w the idea ngl ahfudjdidj,, they invent a spell to find out who ur parents r (mostly for the benefit of the ya kids) and they're testing it on ppl who's parents they obviously know and then. Jennas closest living relative is marcia. Oh shit. Sorry for this I was just scrolling through the discord bc I'm rlly bored and I found this and I can't stop thinking abt it. I don't think it would change anything especially if it's later in the series I just think it would be rlly funny

I do remember and I was so right for this

gszajskgaj imagine this in an au where Sep never finds out he's a Heap and Jenna never finds out she isn't. He invents the spell secretly hoping to find out he's actually related to Marcia and instead they get each other's parents

#tzey don't even have time to be jeaöous or anything #sep: instant siblings? #Jenna: INSTANT SIBLINGS #don't worry about what would have happened to get them there shhhhh #also don't worry about transfem Marcia originally being an excuse to give her extra angst about being unable to keep any of her family #septimus heap #I do have an au where this could plausibly happen. It's the ml au though #Jenna (panicking about her secret identity as the princess being found out) no no we don't need to test it I'm sure you did it right #Sep (staring at Jenna's results) um #Jenna (relieved) oh dear apparently something did go wrong! hahahahaha (terrified) #Sep (slowly) but... you do look more like Marcia than any of your other family... #anyway #sep.jpeg

The Girl of your Dreams

Pairing: Jenna Ortega x Reader

Requested: Yes/No

Summary: Y/N, a new actress who gets cast in the show Wednesday and falls in love with her costar Jenna, attends the shows premiere with her now girlfriend to announce their relationship to the world. ~ Word count: 987 ~ Warnings: none ~

A/N: Hellooo. This is my first time ever completing and posting a fanfic so it may not be amazing but it exists. I wrote it without a request and I hope you enjoy it <3

Working as an actress has always been a dream of yours. You have been acting essentially ever since you could talk. Whether it was memorising and recreating your favourite scenes from movies and tv shows, or acting in your sibling’s homemade plays, you had always loved and admired it. So, when you got the opportunity to audition for a main role in the Netflix TV show Wednesday, to say you were ecstatic would have been an understatement. That level of excitement was soon dwarfed by your elation after you received a phone call from Tim Burton himself, telling you that you got the role. It was there, on the set of Wednesday, that you met the love of your life, Jenna Ortega.

It was all very new to you. You had never been on a set before, never been away from your family for 8 months, let alone in another country, and you had never acted professionally before so even the idea of it was intimidating. The first day you spent on set you were riddled with nerves. You were intimidated by everything and everyone, and scared of messing up or doing anything wrong in fear you would lose the opportunity of a lifetime. All of those emotions, however, vanished the moment you met Jenna. Despite meeting her briefly at the table read months prior, as soon as you saw and spoke to her in Romania, you felt an instant connection, developing immediate heart eyes. She was compassionate, gentle, supportive, and not to mention undeniably attractive. The two of you got on like a house on fire, becoming immediate close friends, known by the cast and crew to muck around both on and off set. It became unusual for one of you to be seen without the other, and you spent more time in her trailer than you did in your own.

Platonic feelings soon multiplied and your relationship flourished into something much more intimate. These feelings were solidified at one of your routine sleepovers after a long night shoot, where after months of pining, the two of you finally shared your first kiss. A few weeks later, Jenna asked you to be her girlfriend and you have been together ever since. The two of you were yet to go public with your relationship but after talking about it with over the past few weeks you ultimately decided to attend the premiere together as your way of announcing it, bringing you to today.

“Y/N? Are you ready to go?” Jenna asked, breaking you out of your trance. You had been waiting in your makeup chair dressed in a custom black suit created specifically to match Jenna’s dress, which you were yet to have seen. Your jaw dropped the second you stood up and faced her. She was absolutely breathtaking. “Wow… you look… incredible” you managed to stutter out. As a slight rosy shade rose its way onto her cheeks she leaned up to press a small kiss onto your cheek. “You don't look too bad yourself” she compliments with a smirk as she leans back and looks you up and down. “Shall we?” “We shall” you reply, giving her a chaste kiss and taking her hand, leading her out the door and down to the car. Despite the location of the premiere only being a short drive away from the apartment, you spent the entirety of the drive admiring her, unable to take your eyes off of her. “What?” she chuckled after noticing your adoring gaze. “Nothing” you reply gently, your smile growing as she retorts, “Mmmm ok.” whilst matching your giddy smile.

As the car pulls up to the premiere, the nerves begin to kick in as you start fidgeting with the rings that adorn your fingers, an old habit of yours. The familiar feelings of intimidation and uncertainty return as you look out the tinted window on the hundreds of people, armed with cameras and expectations, as the reality of your first premiere suddenly hits you. Noticing your fidgeting, Jenna gently grasps your hand into her own, tenderly squeezing it in an attempt to reassure you. “You ok?” “Yeah… just a bit nervous is all.” “I’ll be there with you the whole time. If it gets too much just tell me and we can leave ok? You’ll do great, I know you will.” “Thanks Jenna. I love you.” “Love you too.”. You exchange a quick yet intimate kiss before stepping out the car door, hand in hand with your girlfriend. You are immediately met with the bright flashes and loud shuttering of the paparazzi’s cameras as you make your way into the premiere side by side. The sound of the fan’s screams seem to increase tenfold as the two of you come into view.

“Y/N! over here please!” “Jenna! look this way!” “Are you two together?!” “Looking amazing you two!”. Despite the tsunami of questions and comments being thrown at you, all you can think about is how lucky you are to be standing here, on the carpet of a Netflix production, next to your favourite person and somehow having the honour of calling her yours. Amongst the flurry of photos in which you two were stood together, your eyes lock with Jenna’s, pure joy evident within your Y/E/C iris, she gently smiles before you both lean in and your lips lock in a slow and intimate kiss, the overbearing noise of your surroundings becoming mere background music. You hear the intensity of the crowd's roaring and screaming escalate as your lips softly move against one anothers. As your lips slowly separate and your state of pure bliss is broken, you maintain eye contact as you gaze deep into her dark brown eyes which exude a familiar air of warmth and security. “I love you Y/N… so much” Jenna whispers just loud enough for you to hear. “I love you too”

And stuff for The Dragon's Reach: Part 2! When things start to get Real.

Party time in DR! Sure, the Scarlet rumor regarding Jenna is ridiculous, but Falx does Not trust mesmers at this point. Powerful ones even less so. Kasmeer being the only exception. She appreciates her need for the truth and capabilities as a very considerate human lie detector.

It should then come as no surprise that Falx sure as hell doesn't trust Anise. A mesmer leading a royal guard that doubles as a clandestine organization? Oh no. Nope. No thank you. (Needless to say, Falx does not take S3E6 very well at all).

That said, Falx is both in and out of her element during Party Politics. An Ash spy mingling to try to get information? Great. An Ash spy mingling at a mostly human-only party to get the deets? Maybe a lil awkward.

As always, Canach is a snarky pleasure. Will his banter ever get old? "Would you like to know how long a severed head remains conscious?" Never change, Canach.

Minister Arton bringing up Caduceus and the White Mantle! Oh yeah, it's all coming together. Gotta remind us of that little plot nugget for the future.

Moving on - Phlunt is the perfect example of a completely unlikable character that's also not necessarily evil. I forgot just how annoying he is in S2. I'm glad they didn't go with the 'actually an Inquest agent' twist in S4.

In that line, still kinda a dick move to try and stake claim over Taimi's waypoint recalibration device. It gives me thoughts about intellectual property rights in Asuran society. That's got to be a vicious mess.

As mentioned in my previous post, these are Taimi protection hours. Do not endanger the Taimi. Debi Derryberry does such a good job at portraying her range of emotions. When Taimi's in distress, by god if she doesn't really sound like it.

And finally the summit! Anise, why do you feel the need to egg at Canach's insecurities? Claiming to want to help someone live to their potential or not, comparing siblings? Low blow

Talking to Trahearne for the first time in a while - the commander has been away from Pact duties for quite a while at this point, huh. Just a prelude of what's to come.

Hey, S2 Smodur before he went balls to the walls nuts! Prior to IBS I always had in my head this picture of a very pragmatic Smodur who'd do anything to advance the charr, even if it meant melting down the Claw to show they've moved past the need for a Khan-Ur. (There's dialogue somewhere in the Black Citadel between some charr chatting about what he'd do with the Claw. I'll have to find it).

EDIT: It is in fact not Black Citadel dialogue that's mentioned, but in the lore doc The Legions of the Charr! It took me far too long to find that.

He's reasonable here! Talks about helping the sylvari before leaving. Very politic. But he's also still smug! We tell him his plan is smart. How does he respond? "I know."

Vision time! I think the World Summit episode really marks the point where the narrative starts turning from the PC as a significant but kinda generic Pact officer to the whole 'chosen one' deal (if you're not sylvari. If you are, this is a double helping). Hell, it starts with Trahearne referring to us as "this Pact commander" and ends with us literally calling the vision a "call to action."

Marjory going off to research at the Priory makes me think she and Falx would get along on many fronts. Both are nerds, into detective work (of different varieties), inherent edginess from their class, etc. Instant besties. (When Marjory's all but ready to denounce the gods in S3, Falx is there with self-help books titled "So You're A Misotheist.")

Taimi freaking out over seeing a dragon! Oh, if only she could see the depths to which her dragon research will go.

Lastly:

Who wrote this, I hope they had fun

Hopeless: Prologue

Click Here For My Masterlist

Prologue/ Character Profile—PLEASE read this before going on to the first chapter, or the story will more likely than not, make ZERO sense.

 Name: Evangeline Gilbert

 Age: 22

 Siblings: Elena and Jeremy Gilbert

 Occupation: Just graduated collage with a teaching degree, has yet to find a job.

 Physical Description: Long brown hair the same length as her sisters, though she wears it naturally curly—similar to Katherine’s but the curls are a lot looser. She has an olive skin tone and a slender, curvaceous figure that garners a few lusty and jealous stares, though she never notices. She is a few inches taller than Elena, and has deep blue eyes similar to a night sky—in the right lighting they almost look black.

Brief description of her and her involvement with the supernatural:

 Evangeline had found out about the supernatural beings that were residing in Mystic Falls as soon as her younger sister had discovered it. When their parents had died, the eldest Gilbert had become a surrogate parent alongside Aunt Jenna, as well as a big sister. One thing the Gilberts had always been was close, so after promising Elena she would be home she had transferred to Virginia community collage and ordered Elena to tell Jeremy and Jenna everything, because it was safer for them to be in the know. She had been there for everything, taking an instant like to Stefan, though her eventual likeness toward the eldest Salvatore took a lot longer—when he wasn’t being a colossal dick and killing people left and right he was constantly trying to seduce her. Eventually he had managed to get it through to him that they would only ever be friends, which he accepted due to his growing interest in Elena.

 When Katherine had arrived, Evangeline had been fiercely protective over her sister and even Damon and Stefan, who she clearly enjoyed teasing. Thanks to her vigilance, she had prevented Jenna not having vervain in her system, and even though Elena dumped Stefan to keep her loved ones safe, it had been done under a lot less harrowing circumstances. Katherine hated her more than she hated her doppelgänger, because she had something she had never been able to get from anyone: respect. Even Damon respected her and valued her opinion because she never had any bad intentions, she always wanted everyone safe, except those who had wronged those she loved of course. So due to spite, Katherine had not only turned Caroline into a vampire, but Evangeline as well. Much to the relief of those around her, she had adjusted even better than Caroline had, and hadn’t even fed on anyone from the vein and had never slipped in her control. Evangeline had always been a determined person, which had only been heightened when she turned, and she was determined not to lose her humanity or let her sudden desire for blood control her.

 When Klaus had arrived in town, she had managed to keep her distance because she knew that her sister intended to go through with the ritual. During that particular weekend she had thrown herself into her final assignment, ordering her sister to call her if she needed anything. Of course, none of them had, and Aunt Jenna had been sacrificed and Uncle John had died, and she hadn’t found about it until the morning after. Elena had been the one to call her, and the relief that she was okay had been diminished when she told her the news.

Unfortunately the bad news hadn’t ended there, as after the funeral that was held for Jenna and John, Damon had confessed to Stefan and Evangeline that he had got bitten by a werewolf. Stefan vowed to find a way to save him, so while he did the eldest Gilbert stayed at the house with Damon until Ric showed up, then it was up to her to find Elena and tell her what was going on. As much as Evangeline disapproved of the affection Elena shared for both Salvatore’s, she deserved to know encase she actually needed to say goodbye if Stefan couldn’t save him. Evangeline had stayed with Jeremy, though we had all parted when things had fallen south. Damon got out of the cellar because Liz had gone on a freaking terminator mission and Elena had been “detained”. Jeremy and Evangeline had found him, of course that ended with Jeremy getting shot, though thankfully Bonnie had found a way to save him. Evangeline still hadn’t forgiven the Sherriff for what had happened due to her rash actions, and she made sure the blonde knew it. Of course, that night had been topped off when Elena had called her sister and told her that Damon was okay, but Stefan had handed himself over to Klaus.

 I was inspired to write this story after I read “Timeless” by MarvellousKatie on FanFiction.net. It is a story about Caroline travelling back in time in an attempt to apprehend Klaus, but she ends up falling in love with him. While the overall plot is the same in my story—kind of—I want to just state that I haven’t tried to outright copy MarvellousKatie’s story outside the idea of time travel. If you haven’t already, go and check out her story, it is brilliant.

Congrats, BEE, you have been accepted to AL for the role of DOLORES UMBRIDGE (FC:Olivia Taylor Dudley). OH MY GOODNESS, BEE! Your portrayal of Dolores was just stunning. I found myself laughing in places and gasping in others. You’ve really gotten into the head of a character that is just awful and played that out in a way that’s captivating. I can’t wait to see what chaos she brings to the dash! Please send in your blog (no sideblogs for first characters, please) in the next 24 hours and be sure to take a look at our new player checklist. Welcome home (once again), we’re so excited to have you join the family!

OOC

name — Bee age — 29 pronouns — She/her timezone — MST activity level — I have quite a bit of free time at the moment! I can usually manage being on for at least a little while every day and I’ll average a handful of replies a week at a minimum. any questions? —No questions per se, just a small disclaimer to let anyone reading know that I am a tolerant and open-minded individual, so while I’m excited for the creative challenge and entertainment of potentially writing an absolutely loathsome person like Ms. Dolores Jane Umbridge, anything offensive that she says or thinks or does IC does not reflect my own personal views!

IC Overview

name — Dolores Jane Umbridge—but my friends call me Lo, at least they would if I had any FRIENDS. -hold for laughter- Yeah, eat your fucking hearts out all you moronic lowlife swine. Hem hem. faceclaim — Olivia Taylor Dudley, Jenna Coleman, Mae Whitman age — 32 gender — Cis-female, and uncomfortably cutesy girly-girl for a woman over thirty. Hyperfemme caricature with BDE. Never met a shade of pink she didn’t just love.

sexuality — Outwardly, all Dolores cares about is locating the picture-perfect partner for the type of life she wants to be seen as having and lock them down, and in her mind that person is a man. She wants a husband with money and looks and brains and power, but not so much of any one that it would outshine her; she craves to be in the power seat of a power couple, and to get the attention she feels she’s always been unjustly robbed of. She’s got no interest whatsoever in romance and finds the whole concept a laughable waste of time. But for all she projects to the world, Dolores in reality harbors a deep, deep, DEEPDEEPDEEP same-sex attraction. She has thoroughly locked herself in that closet and a Norwegian Ridgeback swallowed the key.

patronus —Persian cat. This animal has all the appearance of being sweet and cuddly, but rub her the wrong way and those barely-retracted claws are coming out in an instant. Vain, independent, calculating, haughty, and very, very well-groomed at all times.

boggart —Stemming from her Napoleon Complex, Dolores’ boggart takes the form of herself shrunken down like Alice in Wonderland after sipping the drink me potion; her voice squeaks higher and higher into an undetectable range no matter how loud she yells and she can just barely avoid getting squashed beneath someone else’s disgusting, dirty shoes. Dolores as a person demands attention to function and she simply will not tolerate being made to feel literally small.

IC In Depth

personality traits —

tidy - Dolores is obsessed with beauty and perfection and symmetry in all things and nothing makes her skin crawl more than disorder—to the extent that after her mother and father split and she lived full-time with her father, Dolores developed OCD (though it hasn’t been properly diagnosed as such, and Dolores would immediately write off anyone who attempted to call it that to her face). In her mind she is simply particular; she has very high standards and she expects the world to rise to them, or else she’ll root out the filth around her weed by weed. She cut off the heads of her stuffies who stepped out of line at her toddler-age tea parties you’d better believe she’d do the same to you and care less about it.

passive aggressive - Dolores is well-known for her disconcerting calm in face of disagreements, her calculated cute-sweet demeanor and high-pitched voice. But make no mistake; Dolores is sugar laced with arsenic. In all likelihood she hates your guts and has already cooked up an in-depth five-year plan to chip away at you piece by painstaking piece. It’s a mystery how she manages to keep all that highly-pressurized rage simmering beneath the surface the way she’s somehow perfected, because she’s wound up so tight that it’s a wonder her eyes don’t pop out of her damn head and she’s about twenty-five seconds away from a full-blown psychotic break on a good day.

jealous - Dolores wants what she feels she’s due, plain and simple. When she sees others gain the things she wants while she gets overlooked, it stokes that ever-burning vindictive flame inside of her. It started in early childhood when her father gave attention to anyone or anything that wasn’t her, and it’s only gotten worse every day since.

intolerant - At this point in her life, her infamous intolerance is still in its earliest seed stages, but the seed is planted. One of the most interesting things for me about writing a character like Dolores at this age is to see how and why this mentality grows out of experiences she encounters in these formative years.

character biography —

Born ten pounds of spunk in a four pound, five ounce package, Dolores Jane Umbridge came into this world pink and perfect.

Perfect. Perfect. Perfectperfectperfect.

Even from a young age it was all Dolores cared about. Her father Orford Umbridge would whisper to Dolores what a beautiful perfect princess she was and Dolores believed it with every fibre of her being. Beautiful. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

Then her mother Ellen gave birth to a younger brother who showed not the faintest trace of magic, and that was not perfect. The rift between parents and siblings grew into a cavern as Orford’s whispering words turned against Ellen; her fault. Worthless. Vile. Mudblood. Filthy Squib. Repulsive. Disgraceful. Wrong.

It wasn’t long before the couple split up, with Ellen and her son being banished to the Muggle world, and then it was just Orford and Dolores, together in their once-more perfect world.

And would that it could have stayed that way forever. Orford had always had wandering eyes and Dolores, desperate always to be the only girl in her father’s life, grew jealous and suspicious and hateful (and nonononono NOT anything else nope) for the beautiful vapid creatures that drew his gaze, threatening to upend what was hers.

Knowing nothing beyond her childhood of constant praise and adoration, Dolores went to Hogwarts expecting the world to cater to her every whim. So when people didn’t immediately kiss the ground she walked on, it made her angry. When all the girls and boys didn’t fall all over themselves to try and woo her, it made her furious. When the professors and adults didn’t sing her vast praises on high, it made her outraged.

How was everyone on earth too fucking useless to see how perfect she was?!

Dolores was a bundle of dynamite wrapped up in a pretty pink bow, just waiting to blow.

She went to the Ministry with adjusted expectations on being outright offered what she knew she deserved, and was proven right when she was overlooked by grotesquely unqualified superiors in favor of the sniveling ingrates all around her. But Dolores was prepared to play the long game and bide her time, just waiting for that one weak crack in the system where she could dig in her knuckle and crumble an empire with a smile on her face.

And she thought she’d found that perfect crack when she went to the Dark Lord. Surely he would see Dolores for all she was worth, surely he would bestow upon her all that power, finally, finally, finally. He was only a silly man, after all.

But the foul, imperfect world let Dolores down again. The Dark Lord gave his preference to some other detestable twots just like Dolores always feared Orford would, and then he paid the price for his idiocy when he fell from power (serves him right the arrogant swine), and Dolores returned to her long game at the Ministry with a newfound fervor to crush all who dared try to overlook her beneath her pink kitten heels.

Waiting for the next perfect move to present itself. And when it does, she’ll be ready.

plot ideas —

Girlsgirlsgirls. I would love an opportunity to unpack some of Dolores’ deeply rooted internalized homophobia. Maybe it’s an openly gay and proud woman who drives Dolores up the wall, maybe it’s a beautiful lady who despite all of Dolores’ efforts starts to get beneath her skin, someone she can’t seem to shake… This could go in so many directions and I’m here for them all!

Ministry Spats. Anyone she might have dustups with on her Ministry stomping grounds—Arthur Weasley, Alastor Moody, etc. Also anyone with pro-creature leanings and/or sentiments at this stage could greatly inform her later mindset and I would love to have them interact.

extra —

Headcanon: Dolores hates children; she thinks they’re disgusting tiny wastes of breath and absolutely looks down on anyone who has chosen the family plan for their life.

FULL NAME ► Nicholas “Nick” Alexander De Los Santos AGE ► Twenty Two GRADE ► Junior MAJOR ► Business Management ROOMMATE ► Elliot Turner

A B O U T:

+ adaptable, fearless, loyal -  quick-tempered, cynical, foolhardy

►THE GENIUS BRUISER - a physically strong character who is more than capable of holding their own, who also is incredibly intelligent and knows it. their brain is one of their strongest assets, along with their ability to defend themselves.

H E A D C A N O N S:

(TW: Drugs) Born to Leticia De Los Santos and an absentee father, Nick was raised in a slum in Etobicoke (Southside Toronto). His mother is a drug addict which led to her neglecting both him and his twin sister, Remi. At the age of 10, he was providing for them (clean laundry, proper hygiene, alarm clocks for school and nickel-and-diming meals) the best that he could.

(TW: Violence) In exchange for her fixes, his mother would force him to sit with Remi inside her bedroom closet whilst she had strangers coming and going all hours of the night. When he was 11, he came running to his mother’s woeful cries when a client was too rough, resulting in his first scar (the left corner of his mouth) when a broken beer bottle was used in retaliation in his attempt to save her.

(TW: Violence) His second scar was the result of an alcohol infused fight between him and another kid from the neighborhood when he was 12, in which Nick was stabbed in the abdomen. Upon his release from the hospital, he was charged with public intoxication, underage consumption and unruliness and sentenced to 30 days in a juvenile detention center where he met a 14-year-old Kyle. 

Their bond was instant, and Kyle demanded that Nick be able to leave with him. After some convincing, Clay Middleton spoke briefly to Nick’s mother on the telephone and was allowed to sign him out. Nick had divulged some things about his home life to Kyle, and that same night, he was taken to the Middletons where he met a 10-year-old Jenna.

(TW: Rape) Nick was 14 when he boosted his first car. It was then that he lost his virginity, too. He had gone along with Remi’s idea to visit their mother against his better judgement, eventually succumbing to what he thought was sleep, coming to without memory of what had happened the previous night. The course of the next few days would lead him back to Leticia after he realized that he had been raped, Nick’s anger getting the best of him. He had blacked out, advancing on the woman that had given birth to him, hands squeezing her throat and Remi pleading for him to stop. His twin sister saved their mother’s life that day. Nick hasn’t looked back since then.

On their 15th birthday, Remi introduced him to Tori Santamaria. The girls had become fast friends after they had been enrolled at Degrassi. Nick had never had to think twice about anything in his life ─ but he couldn’t even remember his name to give to the exquisite beauty. He had never believed in love at first sight, but Tori flipped his world upside-down. She was the first person other than his family who he trusted. There wasn’t anything that he felt was on a need-to-know basis with her. He gave her everything ─ including his virginity, once he had accepted that what had happened with his mother’s friend didn’t count.

(TW: Violence) Graduating was one of the hardest things that Nick has ever done. He’s smart but impulsive. His short fuse is notorious for landing him in bad spots. High school was no exception. He was regularly in detention and detained once after a fight that escalated because another student told Jenna that he was a charity case. Nick broke their wrist.

He’s fluent in Spanish.

His birthday is May 4th.

Nick isn’t Clay’s son, but his wife checks in with him as often as he permits her to. At 22, he’s business partners with Audrey. She owns half of his nightclub ─ Club NV. Her only stipulation was that he attend Crestmont.

C O N N E C T I O N S:

► Jenna Middleton (adoptive-sibling) — He’s her protector. It was signed, sealed and delivered the moment that she flung herself into his arms when they were little. He’s been with her through every heartbreak, giving up Tyson, the death of her father and the birth of their sister. Jenna never shone hesitation since the day that Kyle brought him home 10 years ago, embracing him fully, and they love each other fiercely.

► Tori Santamaria (wife) — He remembered how snowflakes clung delicately to her rebel curls and melted against her sun-kissed skin. The Christmas lights that surrounded the ice rink danced brightly in her chocolaty orbs, and Nick asked her to marry him, promising to love her and take care of her for however long he had left of his life. He carries around the regret of their failed marriage, and he’s determined to win back her heart. 

► Amelia Rosenburg (twin flame) — Twin flames are two people who were split into different bodies but share the same soul. Nick and Lia’s friendship give it definition. They know eachother inside and out, and he can’t remember a time when she hasn’t been an absolute constant in his life; a confidant; his keeper; and on rare occasions his backbone. She’s Bonnie to his Clyde. 

► Drew Torres (close friends) — Drew is Nick’s best friend despite their demanding schedules. They met in high school, hanging with the same crowds and sometimes falling apart, but friendships are real bro shit to Nick. Anytime Drew needs him, he’s there, never asking for explanations as to why X-amount time has come and gone since they last spoke, and when they’re together, they don’t miss a beat. Their only conflict ( unknowing to Nick ) is Jenna. She’s off limits to all of her brother’s friends, and he made it law from the get-go. Sometimes matters of the heart ( or in Drew and Jenna’s case ─ matters of desire and neediness ) trump the trust of your best friend. Could this cause a permanent rift between them?

Born near the great Black Sea, Val Chmerkovskiy knew he wanted to get married by the water. “There is something inside me that is drawn to the ocean,” shares the Dancing With the Stars professional dancer. “I love it. I’m inspired by it. Its power, its beauty, its generosity, its ability to cleanse and replenish.”

When he and his soon-to-be-wife Jenna Johnson, also a professional dancer on the hit show, began looking at venues for their wedding, Terranea Resort stood out to them immediately. “The surroundings take you far, far away from California and into what can be reminiscent of Tuscany or the beautiful mountain side of Lake Como,” says Val. “As much as we like to compare beauty, there is no need to do it with Terranea. It is a gorgeous venue that stands on its own.”

Jenna adds that the resort had many of their “must haves” in a venue. “We wanted to be surrounded by water, have a stunning outside ceremony location and a gorgeous ballroom to hold an epic party, treat our family and friends to a romantic getaway and the ambience of LOVE felt everywhere,” she says. “We found all of that and SO much more during our wedding weekend at Terranea.”

Inspired by Jenna and Val’s gorgeous celebration, we offer four ideas to put a special spin on your own big day.

GET CLOSE TO NATURE

Perched on a bluff and overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the breathtaking Palos Verdes Peninsula, Terranea Resort organically embraces Mother Nature’s gifts. Jenna and Val chose a prime spot to exchange vows, right on the property’s edge with the blue waters and an endless sky behind them.

“It’s almost like having all the elements of our beautiful planet be not just the backdrop but a part of our ceremony,” shares the bride. “From the moment we got engaged we both knew we wanted water to be near us. So when we found Terranea Resort, it was all of our dreams coming true.”

GO BIG AND BOLD ON THE CHUPPAH

In the Jewish faith, the chuppah is a canopy under which the couple exchanges their vows. Many brides and grooms, regardless of faith, have adopted this lovely tradition to set the stage for their big moment. At Jenna and Val’s ceremony on the bluff, a cascade of tibet roses, ranunculus, astilbe, lisianthus, garden roses and peonies, all in whites and ivories, framed both the couple and their spectacular view.

“I knew going into my wedding that in general I only wanted white flowers and greenery,” explains Jenna. “I wanted all the flower arrangements to be classy and sophisticated. When we were discussing the chuppah, I knew I wanted it to feel very ethereal, so we draped it and covered it in the same gorgeous white flowers and greenery! It turned out absolutely stunning.”

LET THEM EAT CAKE … AND MORE DESSERT!

Why settle for just wedding cake when you can treat your guests to all kinds of sweet delights. In addition to a lovely five-tier wedding cake, the newlyweds offered attendees a selection of desserts prepared by Terranea’s bake shop, including hazelnut cheesecake cherry brûlée, caramel cheesecake crème brûlée and a chocolate mousse fudge torte.

“Dessert is our love language!” says Jenna. “We both have an incredibly big sweet tooth and wanted to treat our guests to more than just cake, although our cake was absolutely delicious. But I know my siblings definitely enjoyed all the desserts we chose.”

KEEP THE FIRST DANCE SWEET AND SIMPLE

You would think that two professional dancers from a hit television show like Dancing With the Stars would dazzle guests with a big and splashy number for their first dance. Not the case! Choosing intimacy over excess, the pair instead enjoyed a simple but connected moment together on the dance floor, radiating their love to all the guests around them.

“We had talked about what our first dance song should be, but nothing was clicking for us,” remembers Jenna. “We decided not to force anything and let it come to us organically.”

Val loves music especially jazz music, and when the couple enjoys time at home, it’s something that’s always playing. “I will never forget this one night we were at home and Val said, ‘Alexa, play Louis Armstrong,’” says Jenna. “The first song that played was ‘Le Vie En Rose.’ We looked at each other and there was an instant understanding of what this song was going to be for us. Val grabbed my hand and started slow dancing with me in our kitchen. This is one of my favorite memories leading up to our wedding.”

Lady Whistledown Confirms The Tea: ‘Bridgerton’ Renewed For Season 2!

Netflix’s “Bridgerton” has been renewed for Season 2. Yep, Lady Whistledown confirmed the rumors. More inside…

Dearest readers! You’ll be happy to know another season of “Bridgerton” is officially on the way!

Bomb television producer Shonda Rhimes has another HIT on her hands. Netflix just announced plans for the upcoming 2nd season of the hit series about esteemed families of British high society and their romantic pursuits. The show is a TV adaptation of Julia Quinn’s popular books.

And what better way to deliver the news than via Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers gossip sheet.

"The ton are abuzz with the latest gossip, and so it is my honor to impart to you: Bridgerton shall officially return for a second season. I do hope you have stored a bottle of ratafia for this most delightful occasion,” Lady Whistledown wrote in the gossip sheet - just like in the series.

Prepare for another social season! @Bridgerton shall be back for Season 2! pic.twitter.com/cYbgIhPUbC

— Netflix (@netflix) January 21, 2021

Production for Season 2 will begin this Spring in the UK!

"The incomparable cast of Bridgerton will return to production in the Spring of 2021. This author has been reliably informed that Lord Anthony Bridgerton intends to dominate the social season. I will have my pen ready to report on any and all of his romantic activities," she continued.

"However, gentle reader, before you set the comments section alight with requests for more sordid details, know that I am disinclined to report on the particulars at this time. Patience, after all, is a virtue."

It’s been speculated “Bridgerton” will end up receiving eight seasons and each season will chronicle each Bridgerton sibling’s journey to marriage. If true, Season 2 will chronicle the pursuit of a suitable marriage for the eldest Bridgerton sibling, Anthony (played by Jonathan Bailey).

More #Bridgerton magic is coming soon. https://t.co/8coPVKE4MN

— shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) January 21, 2021

Casting is underway for the new season since lots of new characters will be included in the upcoming series.

“We have a bunch of new characters we are going to be introducing,” creator Chris Van Dusen said announcing the renewal on “Today with Hoda & Jenna.” “Anthony is going to have a love interest next season, and I think it’s going to be as sweeping and moving and as beautiful as viewers of the first season have come to expect from the show.”

BREAKING: @bridgerton creator Chris Van Dusen is live on @HodaAndJenna right now and just broke the news that SEASON TWO begins filming in London this spring! He said this next season will focus on eldest brother Anthony Bridgerton!! YESSS!!!! Come through Viscount!

— Jummy Olabanji (@JummyNBC) January 21, 2021

Season 1 centered around the eldest Bridgerton daughter, Daphne (played by Phoebe Dynevor), and her entanglement with the Duke of Hastings Simon Bassett (played by British hottie Regé-Jean Page). The first season was based on Quinn’s first book in the series, “The Duke and I.”

All together, the book series consists of eight novels. Each book chronicles the love life of one of the Bridgerton siblings.

News of a renewal wasn’t too much a surprise since the show became an instant success. Earlier this month, Netflix revealed over 63 million households watched the series in the first four weeks. It was released Christmas Day. With those numbers, “Bridgerton” became one of Netflix’s biggest original series launches…ever.

The Trials Of Being A Bodyguard 9

#my fics #mckirk #genderswap #royalty AU

[thezolblade]

10 fandoms, 10 sibling relationships 

tagged by @sazandorable​! i can’t think of anyone who isn’t already tagged or probably busy, but join in if you like!

(Some spoilers, but not for anything recent.)

1.) Jenna and Felix - Golden Sun

They’ve both got interesting potential, and I haven’t written much about their sibling relationship but I’ve given them a few lines in a few fics, so they should probably come before anything I haven’t ficced.

(My very first thought was ‘in the German canon, Mia and Alex are siblings’... But I haven’t used that canon for anything, so that’s kinda cheating. -.- )

2.) Zelos and Seles - Tales of Symphonia

Because the game showed that 1.) he’d die for her (or at least partly for her), and 2.) this would be a very, very bad idea, a meaningless loss of life that would hurt her more than anyone else. And I appreciate the way that the sickly girl who lives under house arrest in an abbey is, uh, pretty tough in the coliseum. :D

(Closely followed by Mithos and Martel, bc omg, trying to immortalize your sibling that way is simultaneously the best and the worst thing you could ever do for someone.)

3.) Florina, Farina and Fiora - Fire Emblem (GBA)

Best pegasus sisters. Though it was a pain to pull off the triangle attack.

4.) Elincia, Lucia and Geoffrey - Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.

Considering they’re milk siblings, it’s pretty unrealistic that canon allows Elincia/Geoffrey. 0.0 Still the platonic relationship between the three of them is pretty sweet. (As far as ships, though? Give me Lucia/Ilyana and Heather/Elincia... Tellius was so good for femslash.)

5.) f!Corrin and Azura - Fire Emblem Fates

Okay Fates was a mess, but the instant bond between these two was the best part. In all routes. ”I know nothing about you, but it’s so good to meet you, sister!” “I’ll kill father if you say so, cousin!” “Marry me, my love!” (If they had the same supports as m!Corrin...) Such a versatile relationship. 8D

6.) Lain and Mika - Serial Experiments Lain

Pretty haunting the way Lain’s ‘sister’ glitches out of existence. #.#

7.) Nyatta and Nyāko - Cat Soup

Uh I think the wikipedia summary says it better than I could:

‘Nyāko, the older sister of Nyatta, lies very ill in her room. By accident, Nyatta drowns in the bathtub and, whilst being clinically dead, sees his sister leaving the house holding hands with Jizou [a bodhisattva], and proceeds to follow them. Nyatta tries to take his sister back from Jizou but it holds on to her refusing to let go. Nyāko splits in two leaving Jizou with half of her soul while her brother runs away with the other half. Jizou sends a clue about a flower they must search for in order to retrieve the missing half-soul, then walks away with it.

Meanwhile, Nyatta's father finds his son in the bathtub and revives him. Then, all the family members gather in Nyāko's room to find out that she is dead. Nyatta gets closer with the half-soul in his arms and puts it back in his sister's body through her nose. Nyāko wakes up, but she remains despondent and semi-catatonic. After that Nyatta and Nyāko begin their journey (because their mother asks them to go and buy some fried tofu).’

8.) Anthy and Akio - Revolutionary Girl Utena

Not because there’s anything good about their relationship. But from a narrative perspective, it’s impressive how long they spent building up to that twist. And then it was fun to see him fall out of a window and die.

9.) Sha Gojyo and Dokugakuji - Saiyuki

Hey, another flirt with blood red hair & issues after being attacked by his stepmother (sorta). Though Dokugakuji isn’t much like Seles.

10.) Fina and Ramirez - Skies of Arcadia

They were effectively siblings, however closely they were related... I always wanted more conversation between them in the script. The final battle felt like a downer ending to me; she saved the world, but couldn’t save the only person she’d ever known until a few months ago. (Besides the crystallised elders.) Heh, the wiki says it best: ‘Fina is a surprisingly well-adjusted young woman given the circumstances of her youth.’

Keeper- Valenna fic

I got this prompt from Wattpad

Most of the tour, Val was never seen without his phone on his hand. He was always texting, always checking social media, or making a call. She always knew who it was. She ignored it. She busied her self with the girls or her blog. She picked up her photography again. He had shattered her heart and she just couldn't be apart of it anymore. She saw how much he'd changed. She saw how distant he was. He would sit there with them but was more present with his conversation through his phone than with anything that was happening around him. Thankfully for Laurie's benefit, the others were picking up the big brother and sister acts. They spent time with her and kept her company since he wasn't. 

It was all of a sudden. She saw the switch all of a sudden. One night, during the show, he was so tense when they danced. After all they'd been through together, their dancing had remained the same. That was until that one night. She wanted to ask him what was wrong but he ran off as soon as they were off stage. He usually would stay around for a bit after the dance as they caught their breath but he didn't this time. She couldn't lie to herself by saying she wasn't worried. She kept trying to catch him all throughout the night to see what was up but she never did catch him. When the show was over and they had finally all got back on the bus, she finds Val sitting on the couch, empty handed, staring into lala land. They had a double show the day before and a busy morning before the show today so most have settled into their bunks for the night. She weakly smiled towards him but he didn't see it. Well, he either didn't see it or just didn't react. She walks past him and goes to change into her pajamas. She brushes her teeth and is just about ready to climb into bed with a book when she notices Val's bunk is still empty. She quietly heads back out to the main room and finds Val sitting in the same position, having yet to move. At first she is unsure of what to do. She thought about calling Maks or swallowing her pride and somehow getting ahold of Amber. Before she could do that, her body takes over and she finds herself sitting next to Val, slipping her hand into his. She gives his hand a squeeze as his gaze drifts to their joined hands. He just stares at them for a while. Jenna sits quietly, not daring to move, waiting for him to make the first move. His eyes eventually make their way to hers. She gives him the same weak smile as before but this time he saw it. "I'm sorry" he says quietly. "What are you sorry about Val? You have nothing to sorry about. Nothing went wrong..." "I'm sorry for hurting you." "You didn't..." "I know what it feels like now. I'm so sorry." "Val, what are you talking about?" She asked even though she had a gut feeling she knew exactly what she was talking about. "I saw how much it hurt you but I was being selfish. My Dad pointed out but I didn't listen. My brother called me an idiot. My Mama cried. I was selfish. I was an idiot. And look where it lead me. Losing one of my best friends and my greatest choreographers. I'm sorry. " "Valentin, look at me. You never lost me. I was always right there." "Yes I did. If I had asked you to come help me create a dance like I had so many times before, would you honestly have come or would you have tried your hardest to find a reason not to help?" She didn't have to respond. He knew her answer by her expression. "That's what I thought. I lost you Jenna and I'm so sorry." "I'm right here Val" she said squeezing his hand. "What brought this one?” "Please forgive me Jenna" he pleads. "Val..." "Jenna, please forgive me. I need you back in my life." "Val..." "Jenna, please!" He begs again. "Valentin, I forgive you. I did a long time ago. What is wrong? Please tell me what is going on." "I'm so sorry Jenna. I'm sorry I hurt you. I never wanted to hurt you." "I know you didn't Val. It made me stronger though." "Your stronger than me. I'm a mess." "I was too. I just hid it from you. I didn't want you to see how much I was hurting. It really made me a better, stronger person though." "It shouldn't have come to that. I'm sorry." "Val, what is going on? What brought this all out so suddenly? You had been fine. I was ok. I mean you were a bit distant from the rest of us but you seemed good." "I was. I was distant. I was focusing on everything outside of the tour. I was putting all my attention and energy in her and not on those present around me. Thank you for picking up the big sibling duties for Laurie. Really, I owe you all for doing what I should have been doing. I began to feel like I was doing all the work. It felt like she was just along for the ride and attention. She was doing to me what I did to you but I didn't notice it. I'm so sorry. I didn't understand then but now I do" he explains as a tear rolls down his cheek. She reaches out and wipes it away and then wipes hers. "I'm sorry" she whispers. He squeezes her hand, really wanting to lean over and kiss her forehead and let her know it's all going to be ok. "You have nothing to be sorry about. I got what I deserved." "Val..." "Jenna, she pushed me aside like I did to you. She said she just 'wasn't feeling it' anymore. She said our lives just didn't mash together. I at least agreed with that. She had to be in one place for her son and I just wanted to travel. I thought her kid was great but I wasn't ready to be an instant Dad like that. I'm sorry. The last thing you probably want to hear is your ex talking about his current ex." "I don't mind. You are hurting and I hate to see you hurting." "You have always had the kindest heart Jenna. It's one of the many things I love about you" he says sweetly, staring into her eyes, making her blush. "Thank you" she says looking at the floor. "I mean it. You know that right?" "Yes." "I'm going to be better Jenna. I promise. I'm going to be more present. I'm going to keep my phone away. I'll do more with the group. I'll do better. I promise." "You have to do it for you and no one else." "I know. I might need some help. Will you call me out when I start acting like an idiot again, when I'm not doing my job again?" "I can try." "Thank you. I'm sorry for keeping you up." "I don't mind.  If it gets the old Val back, I'm fine with it." "I'm not tired but if you want to..." "I'm not either" she cuts him off saying. "Let me change and we can put a movie or something on. Ok?" "I'd like that." Val lets go of her hand for the first time since she grabbed hold when she sat down next to him. He heads back to his bunk and changes into his pajamas and quickly brushes his teeth and goes to the bathroom. He comes back out to find Jenna cuddled up in a blanket on one end of the couch. He smiles at her and sits on the other end. She looks at him, almost looking upset until she stands up, motioning for him to come to her spot. He smiles at her and slides down the couch. She sits next to him and curls up against him. He puts his arm around her as she rests her head on his chest. "Just like old times" he says as he puts the TV on. The end up on reruns of Grey's Anatomy, Jenna's favorite. "Now it really is like the old times" she whispers against his chest. He finally places a gentle kiss to the top of her head. Soon enough the TV is forgotten and they have fallen asleep wrapped in each other's arms. Val wakes up eventually and carries Jenna to her bunk and then climbs into his own, going back to sleep. ~ The next few days, Jenna notices a big difference in Val. He is much more attentive to those around him. He only has his phone out when necessary. He's spending more time with Laurie. He's even spent some more time with her. They've found a connection she hadn't felt when they danced before, making their connection even stronger. He is kinder. She was seeing the Val she knew and loved coming back. He has asked her to go out and explore with him and Laurie a few times. He always found ways to be next to her or across from her. She was catch him staring or sometimes just feel it. She couldn't help but stare back at him sometimes, seeing his soft, gentle and kind face coming along with his spirit. It's a day off for the crew and after staying up late to watch a movie, Val and Jenna are the last ones awake. Most of the group has already gone off to explore. Laurie was with her teacher doing school and taking some tests so she could have the night off. When Val gets out of his bunk, he sees Jenna's curtain still closed. He goes out to the kitchenette and grabs two donuts that were left. He heads back to the bunk and sits in his bunk, staring across at Jenna's trying to hear if he can hear any movement. "Jenna?" He finally calls out. He waits but he doesn't hear anything. He puts the donuts down on his bunk and goes over to hers, pulling back the curtain a little. She scrunches her eyes, turning away from the light in her sleep. "Jenna?" "Val?" She replies sleepily, opening her eyes to find his.   "Time to wake up my love." "Val..." "Sorry. I didn't mean to call you that. It just slipped out." "It's ok. I didn't mind. I missed it" she says sweetly with a gentle smile. "Good because it felt good to say. I brought us some donuts." "Oh yum. Where is everyone? It's so quiet." "They're all out exploring already." "Can we eat the donuts in my bunk?" "It's up to you. It's your bunk after all." "Then get the donuts. I don't want to get up yet." Val laughs with a smile and grabs the donuts off his bunk. Jenna has moved all the way against the wall so Val climbs in. She pulls the blanket up and over them both. He holds out the donuts and she takes the one she wants. "We're going to have to work hard to work these donuts off since there is no show tonight." "I can think of a few ways" he says as Jenna moves closer to him. "Val!" "Whoa, I wasn't going there Jenna!" "Oh, oops. My bad" she says, almost defeated. "Jenna, it's not that I wouldn't love to get back to that with you but we’re just getting back to us. The good old friends, but just a bit more than friends.” “I know. I’m sorry.” “I’m not saying never though” he says looking down at her. She turns over and rest on her elbows looking at him. “I mean it” he says kissing her forehead. “Good” she says sweetly, smiling at him, longing to kiss his lips. “Ok my love, what are we going to do today?” “You mean we can’t lay in my bunk all day?” “I mean, we could be I’d rather do something more fun.” “I’m having fun just laying here with you.
“I know.” “We could just go out and explore together.” “Grab your camera.” “We have to get dressed babe.” “Right. meet me at the couch when you are done” Val says after getting out of her bunk, kissing her forehead and grabbing his clothes. ~ “There you two are” Sharna says when Val and Jenna come back onto the bus. He lets go of her hand and Jenna sits next to Sharna on the couch. Val ends up on the floor in front of her. “Yea, where were you guys?” Keo asks. “Just exploring” Jenna says smiling down at Val. Sharna stares over at Jenna, curious about what is going on. She decides not to ask. She watches as Val leans back against Jenna’s legs and Jenna runs her fingers through her hair. The ladies decide it’s a perfect night for a chick flick so the boys head off to the bunks. With the movie in, Sharna leans over and whispers to Jenna, “So, what’s going on with you and Val?” “Nothing. We were the last ones up today so we went out exploring together.” “That was just today. I’ve noticed you too more than just now.” “We’re just, um, friends again.” “Good. I hated how he treated you.” “I know. It’s better. It’s getting better.” “It better. You know, he got really drunk one night after you two broke up and said how you were always the one. He said how stupid he was and…” “We’re past it.” “Good.” They are quiet for the rest of the movie. All of the other girls went to their bunks but Jenna hung back. Having slept in so late, she wasn’t really tired yet. The door that leads to the bunks opens and in comes Val. He smiles at her with a wink and comes over to the couch, sitting next to her. “You’re not tired either?” he says. “No. Sharna noticed.” “That you’re not tired?” “No. Us. Whatever we are.” “Friends that are more than friends in some way.” “That makes it sound different than it is” she says settling against him. “Sorry.” “It’s ok. I had a lot of fun today.” “I did too. Best day in a long, long time.” “Me too” she says tilting her head to look up at him. He sweetly kisses her forehead. She can’t turn away from him. Her eyes drift away from his eyes to his lips, lingering there for a bit before making their way back to his eyes. “Do you want…” “Yes, no. I don’t know.” “It’s up to you.” “I’m scared” she whispers. “We don’t…” “Can we go slow?” “Jenna, there are other people on this bus.” “I just… I meant us, together.” “You want to be us again?” “I’ve missed you.” “I’m sorry” he says kissing her forehead again. “If we get back together, you aren’t allowed to apologies about it again.” “Ok.” “Just little dates. We still have to spend time with the group.” “Got it.” “We can’t tell the fans.” “Of course. We can be us in front of the group?” “Yes.” “Good.” “Can I kiss you now?” Jenna asks quietly. “Please.” She sits up and turns towards Val. She puts one hand on his cheek and puts the other on his chest. She slowly leans in and gently kisses him. He puts a hand behind her back and pulls her closer to him. She pulls back a bit and looks into his eyes. “I missed this.” “Not as much as I did.” She kisses him one more time before curling back up against him as they sit in silence, both becoming to sleep not long after. The following morning, Val is woken up to Laurie coming out and fixing herself some breakfast. He looks down and sees Jenna still asleep but her head is now in his lap and there is a blanket over her. “Good morning” he whispers towards Laurie. “Good morning” she replies cheerfully. “Have a good night?” “Yes” he says with a smile and an eye roll. “Are you two…” “Yea. Wait, you knew we were a thing before?”
“Val, always watched DWTS. Of course I knew.” “What do you think?” “About you two?” “Yes.” “I love it. Much better than…sorry. I didn’t mean to say that out loud.” “It’s ok. I know. I feel the same.” “She’s a great future sister in law for me.” Val laughs and runs his hand over Jenna’s hair. She doesn’t stir. He continues to play with her hair, one of his favorite pastimes. “Yea, she’s a keeper.”

a snow story.

Your recent snow adventures has me reminiscing about one of my favorite (also one my earliest) memories of snow. When I was younger and still living in the Bay Area, my family would take trips up to Lake Tahoe / Reno. Quite often too. Reno was the closest place to us that had snow. The trip took 4 hours (there and back, each). We would spend a couple of days (maybe 2-4) up there. Hitting as many snow spots and going to Circus Circus in Reno. Their Circus Circus is way better in my opinion. But maybe I’m biased. I haven’t traveled back to Reno to really compare, now that I’m older. I digress. But yeah about the snow, I’m not sure if this was our first trip or not (probably not) but it’s the one I remember the most. I know there are pictures of this day but I think there’s also a video of what happened. It was nothing crazy but one day we found a pretty nice bunny slope where most of the kids were. I remember it was just off to the side of the main slope where everyone was snowboarding and what not. We had 3 sleds. Two circle ones and one long one that could fit at least two people. (we still have those sleds actually) 

A side-note memory: I remember building this crazy snow maze with all my siblings and all the kids there. If you every watched the movie Holes, the scene where the whole entire camp was digging one big trench/maze - that’s what it felt like. 

But continuing on, we had 3 sleds. After sledding for quite some time - me, my brother Errol, my older sister Jenna and our auntie Shae (who’s the same age as my sister Jenna) decided to do one last run of our sleds…TOGETHER AS ONE LONG SLED TRAIN. It was only right to do it up for our last run! We bravely took ourselves (and our ego’s) to the very top of the slop and constructed our make-shift vehicle. We lined up the sleds in a row. First the long sled then the two circle sleds following behind. I stepped up to the plate and sat right in front in the long sled ready to steer. My brother sat with me. My sister right behind in one circle sled and Shae coming in last in the other. A yellow rope from the front of the long sled was able to reach to my sister. She held onto that. Shae held onto the back of my sisters sled.

We were ready! 

We pushed off and instantly we were FLYING! It’s like our design was meant to cut through air (dramatically speaking ;D) Our course was set and we were picking up speed. It was looking like a great last run! I held tightly to the front. The rope was a good idea for keeping us locked in. Everything was working and all of sudden…WE HIT A FUCKING SNOW RAMP! We hit the jump HARD - and we land even harder! Shae was tossed to the side before she could hit the jump. Her sled flips and she rolls like crazy. After landing, we spin out of control and we disconnect with our sister who then slams straight into this innocent girl! THE GIRL FLIPS. BUT IT DOESN’T STOP THERE. The long sled that my brother and I were trapped in starts turning horizontally and without realizing it WE COLLIDE INTO TWO OTHER KIDS. 

INSTANT PAIN.

INSTANT REGRETS.

After recovering we all had a really good laugh and debate on why it didn’t go as planned, putting blame on one another for letting go and not committing to the whole ride. Super fun times. A memory we always talk about.

It’s not the craziest story of course, but definitely my one of my favorites and earliest to date. Miss things like that.

Anyways, your 2017 has started out as a cold one! Really awesome to see you enjoying yourself out there in Colorado snowboarding. I feel kinda stupid saying it but...I miss you. It was really nice seeing you for a small window of time before you left. I gotta say, I’ve got the travel bug! I myself am looking to do a lot of traveling this year. Maybe a trip a month (HOPEFULLY) I hope you can join me on a few of those trips and vice-versa, if you’re up for it. I know you have your own travels set up but experiencing adventure with you is still something I’m very much interested in. whaddaya say?
