#and ofc 'we didn't it right but love we did our best' and that constant forward motion for a deity that has lived so long

[your-rdo-gf]

Part 1/2 Long text ahead and a mixture of cringe RP stuff and "two stoned friends with way too much time on their hands" stuff. Be warned lol. I had kind of an internal monologue while doing this trail ride. Probably because I was inebriated, but regardless I took some mental notes and wanted to put it in writing before heading to bed. Everything is perfectly optional to read, of course, since I'm mostly writing this all for myself, but more power to you if you're interested! This post is kinda randomly peppered with screenshots I thought were pretty, and then some that are actually written about. I did my best to place them accordingly! The devs of the mod menu I use, Fortitude, recently added a slow motion feature which I've been having an absolute blast with! So tonight, accompanied by a lovely friend (whom I'm just going to refer to as Charles for simplicity's sake), I went on a nice long digital trail ride with Charles and took some screenshots. This was a whole ordeal lol. Started out rather normal, no issues whatsoever as we were in a private server and had all the time in the world to just take our time and take pics. We listened to music, smoked a bowl, just got comfy and prepared for a LONG journey because I wanted this whole thing to be in slowmo. Charles hasn't really played RDR2/RDO before, much less with mods, so I had to teach him a bit. But I digress! Early into the ride I started playing Angels and Airwaves, a band that I grew up with and love dearly. Turns out… Charles hates them lol. But he DID agree that they fit the Charles and Blair aesthetic really well with both sound and lyrics, plus helped me pick out the best song to put some clips to, so there's that. Then we ran into the red coyote. I tried my hardest to ignore it, truly. But my ADHD got the best of me. I think we spent the better part of 30 minutes in a constant back and forth of "Where is it?!" "THERE!!" "WHERE?!" "RIGHT THERE!" "I CAN'T SEE WHERE YOU'RE POINTING, YOU'RE IN A DIFFERENT ROOM!" Let me tell you, chasing a coyote with cinematic mode on and in slow motion is HARD. I wish I had gotten some better pictures. Oh well though, the experience was worth it. And then I killed the poor thing. I didn't mean to, but I ran it over a couple of times and that did it in. I was actually gonna let it go after taking pics, and just let it despawn, but I guess little coyotes are no match for two stomps of an Arabian's hooves. So after selling the little cutie to Gus and getting my garment (that's my fave legendary and I somehow hadn't gotten it yet; I only let myself get legendaries when I see them in game and won't spawn them for myself), we continued south. More screenies, ofc, and I wanted to hurry through Armadillo (that town gives me the creeps. Also, I waved to a cop once and immediately became wanted) but Charles insisted we stop so he can buy some food (I told him how to fill his cores but he was immersed at this point lol, brave soul had been riding almost entirely in first person). So while he went to the general store, I chilled out with Johnny and Taima (Johnny is my horse, the brindle Arabian) and took some more pics. I caught a glimpse of Charles sprinting his big ass out of the shop when I said I was doing so, he immediately came running and said "Wait! I wanna see what [Charles] looks like on Johnny!" As if I was about to let that photography opportunity slip by lmao. Seeing Charles sprint is HILARIOUS btw. He's got kind of a naturally bow legged stride, and he honestly kinda runs like it's heavy. Iykyk. I gotta break the post off here bc Tumblr isn't cooperating, but I'll post part two in just a second. ♥

MJJJJJJJ I JUST FINISHED EP 8 AND CAME TO SCREAM AT YOU ABOUT IT

it was so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and aaaaaaaaaaaaaa and hajsgshsfshhshzbshzjskhs

me🤝book watching the balcony scene

we all expected it to be insane but i still wasn't ready AT ALL

at first i was a bit surprised that they were so calm?? talking about their feelings. calm really isn't the right word here they were obv anything but calm what i mean is that after all the constant backpedalling and silences and longing stares it was so easy for them to just talk. they were so scared to say it but when it came to it it was surprisingly not hard at all. and it makes PERFECT SENSE, they are best friends. of course they can talk. and them revealing their feelings wasn't really a revealation but a confirmation of what they both already knew. there was no shock, just "FUCKING FINALLY" and "why did it take us so long to get here"

i hope i made sense lmao

anyways

AKK TAKING A STEADYING BREATH BEFORE ASKING THEO FOR A KISS

THEO CUTTING AKK MID SENTENCE AND KISSING HIM LIKE A STARVING MAN HE IS

THE ACTUAL FRENCH KISS

THEIR EXPRESSIONS AFTER THE KISS

they gave us e v e r y t h i n g

i know i've only talked about the balcony scene but i loved the clowning in the beginning of the ep and ofc the big theo and saifa revealations. i was already almost sure that theo is enchante but didn't expect it to make so much sense. this is a very character-driven story and i love that the main characters are actually really well written. their motivations are clear, their actions and feelings are understandable, everything is consistent. and ofc props to forcebook for acting so naturally

the only thing i didn't like in this ep was the football guy storyline. not sure what they were trying to do with it and honestly don't care

but other than that WHAT AN EPISODE

btw maybe you should tag your asks with enchante spoilers?

- @ahxu-laowen

YAY SOF!!!!!!!!!!

we now get why book reacted the way he did 🤣🤣🤣

truly it was ANOTHER level of insane and bless them for that!!!!!

EXACTLYYYY. it was just the culmination of all that build up which just kept building up because they didn’t have the courage to take the first step

but after the library angst, theo is just feeling so tired and defeated. no matter how many times he tries to prompt akk into showing his feelings, akk runs back to his shell so what’s the point in any of this any more? will they be 84 and still dancing around their feelings?

and i never thought i’d say this but BLESS NATEE for telling akk the truth because only with the truth that he is enchanté in the ways that matter, could akk finally be brave enough to take the leap. otherwise, akk would keep putting theo’s happiness above his own, not knowing that theo’s happiness is him.

so yeah, that confession and that kiss were like air to our dying lungs aksksks

you made perfect sense, no worries!

YES. AKK LITERALLY PREPARED HIMSELF BEFORE ASKING TO KISS THEO. MY GODDDDD

theo was truly starved and as i always say: LET STARVED CHARACTERS GO OFF!!!!!

and they did. they gave us everything!!!!!

yessss it IS a character driven story and these characters are v well written, they feel so real to me 🥺

TRULY PROPS TO FORCEBOOK!!!! THEY DID AMAZING!!!! i never doubted them and yet they still exceeded my expectations aldkskdks

i literally deleted wayo from my head and i hope he doesn’t show up again 🤣🤣🤣🤣

it was a GREAT episode!!!!!!! solid in all of the edges and i just feel infinitely grateful to and for them ❤️💙

oh shoot SORRY!!! i’ll definitely tag my asks as spoilers from now on!!

Part 6 Part 8

Part 7

Liam's phone rang. He ignored it and let it go to voicemail. When it rang again, he made a noise of disgust and took his phone out of his pocket to look at it. "It's my publicist. I had better take this."

Liam answered the phone and went outside to talk. I turned the oven on and started to unpack the groceries. Then I got the roast, put it in a baking tray, poured olive oil over the top and seasoned it with salt and some pepper. I got out some onions and garlic and started to cut them up to place around the roast to give it some added flavour.

"That looks great," Liam said when he came back in.

"Thanks," I said, and I gave him a grin. I took the tray and put it in the oven. I got my phone and put an alarm on, giving myself time to cook the veggies before they finished. A thought came to me, and before I could bite my tongue, I said, "They do say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

"Really?" Liam licked his lips, looked down at his pants and said, "I'd say they were aiming too high."

It took me a minute to work out what the joke was. When I finally did, I couldn't help but laugh and hide my face in my hands.

"You've gone so red!" Liam appeared to be having fun with my inability to control my blushes.

"Oh, my God!" I said, still hiding my face and laughing. "Alright, that was funny."

It took me a while to stop laughing. When I did, Liam said sombrely, "Sweetheart, I have to tell you something."

"Uh, oh, it doesn't sound good."

"It's not bad. I don't know how you will feel about it." Liam then told me that his publicist had called to let him know there were pictures put on Instagram and Twitter of the two of us kissing at the pub last night. "Your name hasn't been mentioned, and the photos look to be shot from pretty far away on a mobile, so someone in the pub took the pictures. Sarah says they probably aren't going to tell who you are by the pictures unless someone who knows you well comes forward."

I think if my eyes bulged out of my head any further, they would have fallen out and rolled on the floor. "That quick?" It was all I could think to say.

"Yeah. It's hard to know what will come out and when. A lot of times I go out, and no one notices me, but other times I have paps or members of the public following me for hours."

"Who's Sarah?"

"My publicist." Liam reached across the bench and took my hand in his. "Are you ok?"

"You say they don't know who I am?" Liam nodded, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I wasn't happy but what was I going to do about it? I picked at my nails. I needed to paint them; the pale pink polish was starting to chip.

"You ok?" Liam asked again

I shrugged. "Your life is weird."

Liam chucked. "You keep telling me that."

"So, what happens now?"

"Well, usually Sarah would say to private all social media, but she had a look and said she could only find a Facebook profile for you which was already private. Do you have any others? Instagram? Twitter? Snapchat?"

"No. I have a YouTube account that I use to watch videos, but that isn't linked to my real name or email. Also, a Tumblr account, again not associated with my name. And no pictures of me."

"Tumblr?" He raised an eyebrow. His fucking lip twitched.

"I was a confused 22-year-old ok?" I said a bit defensively. "I haven't used it in years," I remembered then the dating site we met on. I quickly logged on and selected the options to hide the account.

"Ok, well, there's not much else right now. A few rags called Sarah for comment. She said the standard no comment and asked for my privacy to be respected. The rest is up to you."

"Up to me?" I asked, confused. "What's up to me?"

"When you want to confirm the relationship and release your name."

"Liam, I met you less than 24 hours ago and have known you only a few months. I'm not ready for that. I like you a lot, but maybe you pick your nose and eat it, and I'll have to dump your arse tomorrow and then it's been a big song and dance over nothing." I joked. The mood had gotten too heavy for me. I wanted to talk about something else.

"Sweetheart, I'd never do that." He smiled sweetly, "I'd make you eat it."

"Ewww!" I screamed.

"Get over here." He chased me around the bench, and after a few evasions and some more squeals, he caught me. Perrin came in through the doggy door and barked at Liam a few times. Our behaviour obviously scandalised him. "Perrin," I called. "Come here, boy."

"You think your dog can save you?"

"Of course, he's very protective of my honour."

"We will see about that." Liam bent over, and I thought he was going to tackle me. Instead of flying backwards, I was hoisted forward and found myself over his shoulder. I screamed as I heard a loud crack, my hands flying to my bum.

"Did you just smack my arse?" I must admit I was finding all the manhandling arousing. I wasn't going to let him know that, though.

"Yes, I did. Want another?" Liam was heading down the hallway, taking me to the bedroom.

I giggled. "No!"

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks," Liam quoted. Shakespeare sounded good with his accent. I giggled some more, and I got another one. Yes, very arousing.

Liam hummed. "I quite like the view here." He rubbed my bottom and took me into my bedroom.

I was very close to his round bum. "This view is not so bad either," I said and smacked his arse. Unfortunately, it probably hurt me more than it hurt him. His butt was tight!

Liam dropped me onto the bed at that point, and the look on his face was hysterical. I couldn't stop laughing, and tears were rolling down my face. Then I did the most embarrassing thing: I snorted.

That was it. Both of us couldn't stop. Every time I calmed enough to think I could speak, one look at Liam's face, and I'd be off again.

Eventually, we stopped, and I was able to say, "Oh my God, your face! That was so bloody funny." I wiped my eyes.

"I think that may have been the first time someone's done that to me."

"Really? Didn't you go to an all-boys school?"

"Yes, but it wasn't the US." Liam tried suppressing a grin as he said, "we got ball taps."

I tried not to laugh. I really did. "Oh, my God!" I was off again.

We watched the original Mad Max before I had to go and finish dinner. I was horrified when Liam said he hadn't seen it before. I immediately made him watch it. He said it was ok, the concept was great, but he didn't love it. I told him he needed a brain scan.

When I went to make dinner, Liam offered to help, but I told him not to be silly.

Liam sat at the kitchen bench chatting to me while I chopped and blanched the vegetables. After a while, he said he had to call Sarah and his assistant Ryan to make sure he had organised the dog walker to take Cole for a walk and play.

"Any update from Sarah?" I asked Liam when he returned. I feigned disinterest while I finished slicing the roast.

"All the same right now. Some sites have posted the pictures, saying I was spotted drinking with an "unknown female companion." The pictures have circulated a bit on Twitter, but it's mostly just by fans. They haven't hit the mainstream yet. It's all fairly standard, and it will go away by tomorrow by the looks of it."

"Good," I said. A look I couldn't interpret passed over Liam's face. He masked it pretty quickly. I opened my mouth to ask if he was ok but shut it again. I said, instead, "dinner's ready." I passed Liam his plate.

"Thank you," Liam said, leaning over to kiss me before eating. I watched as he cut up some beef and started chewing. "Pretty good. Almost as good as Mum's," he teased with a wink.

I elbowed him, and God bless him; he pretended it hurt.

We ate in silence for a while. I gave a few pieces to Perrin. He was so old, and I couldn't help but spoil him occasionally. He won't be around forever.

After dinner, Liam insisted on helping me clean up, and we stacked the dishwasher. Watching him bend over, his jeans straining as he put the plates in, stirred some feelings. Erotic feelings.

"Want to watch another movie?" He asked.

"Not really," I said. "I'm in the mood for some dessert."

"Ice-cream? I can't have any, but you can."

"Not ice-cream," I said, shaking my head. I looked at him with my very best bedroom eyes.

"What do you want then? Want me to go to the shops?" He said, not catching on. I put my arms around his waist. "If you let me borrow your car, I'll go. I can just go on my own."

"No, you wombat." I met his hips with mine, his eyes widened. "What I want is right here." I wriggled against him. Liam grinned widely, his cheeks creasing in such a sexy way.

"I thought you were shy."

"I am getting used to you," I said. "The real me is coming out." The truth of my words took me by surprise. I looked away, second-guessing myself. Why did I do that?

"I like her," Liam said hoarsely. If he hadn't spoken then, I think I would have stopped. But when his hands went into my hair, and he pulled, stretching my throat, I knew I wasn't going to stop. He kissed me there, and his teeth grazed my skin. My fingers reached under his shirt, and they gripped his back. My nails dug into his skin.

"Bedroom?" I whispered.

"Bedroom," he agreed and walked me backwards to my room.

"You promised me something earlier today," Liam said in between kisses. We were close to my bed.

"What's that?"

He stopped kissing me and cupped my face with his hands. "You said I could undress you."

Liam took hold of my t-shirt and waited. I nodded. He slowly lifted my shirt up and over my head before dropping it to the ground. He tilted his head as if contemplating and gently turned me around.

I felt Liam gather my hair and put it over my shoulder. He caressed my back with his fingertips, making me shiver with pleasure. I heard him give a satisfied hum before undoing my bra. He turned me around again and took hold of my bra straps, pulling them down my arms.

When I dropped my bra beside my shirt, Liam took a step back. He looked me up and down, his eyes hungry. I wanted to cover myself under his intense gaze, my earlier courage wavering under his scrutiny.

My arms started to move, and he gave me a stern look. "You're not thinking of hiding now, are you?"

I shook my head and forced my arms back by my sides. "Good, because I want to look. You're quite the sight." As if to emphasise his point, he adjusted himself through his pants. I felt a thrill of excitement flow through me and felt the familiar throbbing between my legs.

Liam got down on his knees and kissed my belly. His rough stubble tickled. "Your skin is so soft," he said in a low voice. He undid my jeans and kissed a trail down as he unzipped me. His breath was warm, and I felt it through the cotton of my briefs, his last kiss placed just above my slit.

It was almost agony. I moaned at his teasing breath and lips. Then Liam pulled down my underwear and kissed my mound. I felt his tongue part my lips, and when he found what he was looking for, he flattened his tongue and moaned into me.

I didn't know what to do. For a moment, I wanted to stop Liam, but it felt too good. I could feel my resolve waning. I didn't want to wait. Why should we wait? What was I waiting for? I had to stop thinking and go with it, enjoy him, enjoy the experience. I put my fingers in his hair as he licked and sucked at me. He seemed to remember what I liked, and soon I was close to my peak.

One of his fingers played at my entrance. I silently begged for Liam to put it in. My core was desperate to be filled. His finger slowly entered me, and I was lost. I needed him. At that moment, all I wanted was to feel more of him inside me, have him fill me.

I felt like this was the moment. If I don't ask Liam now, I probably never would. If I didn't want him now, why am I even allowing this to happen? I wanted him. He excited me like no one had done since Andy. He had knocked down the defences I'd built to keep myself alone. Keep me in my grief and guilt. I didn't want to be alone anymore. I wanted to feel desired again.

"Fuck me?" I asked. The words just tumbled out. I knew at that moment I would beg if I had to. "Please, Liam, I want you to fuck me."

I wasn't sure if Liam heard me. He increased his attention, and I felt the pressure building. His hand gripped my arse, his fingers digging into my cheeks as he pulled me closer to him. The short rough hair on his cheeks and chin tickled against my thighs. My legs buckled. I couldn't stand up anymore. He held me there while I panted and moaned, seeking release.

I felt my climax arrive like a bolt of lightning. It was sudden and intense. My body contracted as waves of pleasure exploded over me. Short, wordless shouts came from my mouth until it was over. I collapsed onto the bed.

I laid there a while, eyes closed, trying to catch my breath. Liam was shuffling around and heard his belt come undone. I felt the bed dip, and I opened my eyes to find Liam naked, climbing up the bed until his face was above mine.

Liam supported some of his weight with one hand and laid on me, our whole bodies skin to skin. He was warm to touch, and he almost felt hot to my now cooled skin.

"Ask me again," Liam said.

GARDEN CITY MOVEMENTED

I think towards the close of every year, almost everyone wonders the same thoughts, yeah, how'd my year go, what'd I do, was anything different, was it good/bad/ugly/best, basically December is the month you're either trying to catch up, or wallowing in your lack of having done things.

This year, December was probably my most broke month in life, and I'm not even in a place where I can tell my parents what's going on, but I can't be asking them for money either.

Basically, life backfired, nicely, and right in my face.

And my life changed on 8th Dec. 2019

One of my newfound friends had an extra Early Bird ticket to a Music Festival in Luru, Echoes of the Earth.

And I'm not sure I've ever had a music withdrawal like this one ever before in my life.

From the first day, I got to watch Natasha Diggs, who was a surprise entrance, that basically stole our limbs, and didn't let us move to anything but her beats. Then of course there was Fakear, who no Indian seems to want to pronounce Fake-Ear, but Faqeer instead, so I'm not sure what to pronounce his name as?

And we got to watch Acid Pauli, Prabh Deep, Khasi Bloodz, Stalvart John and Viken Arman X Acid Pauli.

On the second day, after having started off at the Tiger Stage with June Marieezy, who was so bare with her music, which blew my mind, cause she was a proper performer. She danced, and interpreted her music, and engaged the crowd, but was also completely emotionally bare, or seemed to be while she was giving us music, which was insane to witness.

Then we walked to the Hangul Stage to catch Lifafa, and even though I have watched the man perform multiple times, it was still Mykie, Rivks, Han, Mo, Nirmal and Aamir's first time watching him, and boy am I glad it was in the setting of echoes. Which was also hilarious, btw, cause at one point, in the middle of his set, Surya decided it was better to leave a bhajan on, take his drink, light a smoke and just take a stroll break off-stage, which compelled half his front audience to leave hahahahahahaha.

Only for him to return to the stage, just as Mykie had turned around to tell me that he wasn't going to return, to drop the best bass in all his songs of that set.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. what a guy.

And then immediately after he finished his set early, we got to Shigeto Live Ensemble killing it at the Tiger Stage, but halfway through that, I heard new tunes and knew GCM was on, and that I really wanted to watch them.

So I made everybody move from Shigeto to GCM, and as we entered the Hangul Stage from the far left, and began to hear the music, it was already making me move to the music, so I danced my way all along the right wing to the front row, and caught Roy Avital's eye.

My heavens, what a beautiful boy, what beautiful music.

I couldn't help myself but to jump and dance to their music, when he got into playing, "She's So Untouchable'" there was a distinct time he made eye contact with me, and that's all it took. Sometimes I guess that's all it takes with a musician, to fall in love.

And that changed into many glances exchanged through their whole performance.

One of those performances I hope I never forget, but I know will never be the same in my memory, because I will never remember every single minute of what happened.

But there was a time when Johnny asked for the lights to be put out and the flashlights to come on, as a birthday present to him, and then they played Move On, I want to say? (I could be wrong here)

Basically, the next time I see these babies, I'm going to get that set list autographed, and just become their friend somehow.

Note to remember: Johnny's birthday: 8th December.

The night GCM performed at Echoes and changed my understanding of what great live music sounds like, and in constant withdrawal of the fact that nothing will sound anything like listening to them that year at Echoes.

And as they ended, while I did attempt to mobilise 10 people to sing Happy Birthday to him, they had in-ears in and didn't hear us, and all I wanted at this point was hugs and a photograph, and so I was very eager at this point to meet them.

So, as we were walking away from their set, post Squarepusher closing, Hannah spotted them to the right fo the exit, and I went to them and GOT TO GIVE THEM HUGS and GET A PHOTO.

Sorry, manager bud, that I ignored you and didn't treat you like you deserved any love whatsoever, my greatest apologies.

And ofc after this we were going to smoke, so I asked them if 'They do any illegals' , causing them to hesitate, and then decline my offer, but I still did try.

Next time, my babies, next time. 😍🥰😍🥰
