My player character in a dnd thing w some friends, this isn’t her actual fit I was just messing w colours
Her name is Desdamona, a bard in search of old stories and legends (usually about ghosts)(reguardless if they’re real)
I ended up playing her with a bit of a Holier Than Thou personality but I think she’s just a lil arrogant and tends to overcompensate a bit. Shes never really had friends before so she’d decided she’s definitely 100% skilled at socialising 👍🏻

Is that outfit you drew Shadowheart in anywhere we can find in Baldur's Gate? I'm so obsessed with that art, it's so elegant, and ethereal. I LOVE it.
If it's not anywhere from BG3, can we draw fanart of it? Will gladly credit you for the outfit
AHHHH thank you so much !!! 🥹🥹🥹
No it's not in the game, but it's my fault, I completely forgot to credit the artist behind it here!!! I'm so sorry!! Truth is, Melqinnee an art mutual of mine made a tweet asking if anyone could draw Shadowheart in this corset (https://x.com/melqinnee/status/1740398021979066434?s=20) so I posted my art and linked her original tweet that included the credits under it 🥹
Tumblr media
Here is the original (and stunning) corset made by the artist ziwu_artemis on instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ziwu_artemis/). They create such beautiful and delicate corsets, you should definitely look at their gallery!!!
As for drawing it, well, if you don't do like me, and actually credit them well everywhere (I kinda wanna cry lol) it should be fine 🫶
I did design the 'blue' DJ Shadowheart lingerie set on the left tho, so ofc if you want to draw this one, as long as I am credited you can have fun with it!!
Thank you for your message! Hope you have a great day!!

5 Movies You Should Watch
thanks @tadpole-apocalypse for tagging me, my friend that loves deep cut cinema and films in general, because it definitely wasn't a trap laid for me, who has shit taste in movies.
which you know. ass.
But whatever, I'll own it. Here are 5 movies I like that I think you should watch. Don't make fun of me. Or I'll cry.
Might as well get it out of the way. My favorite movie.
It's Raul Julia's last performance, and he chews the scenery with wild abandon, which is my most compelling argument to watch it. Everybody's in this damn movie, including Kylie Minogue and Ming Na Wen, but they all take a backseat to Jean Claude Van Damme's utterly baffling line delivery and inexplicable accent. They could have just...not made Guile American for the movie, but they still did.
And I am so glad they did.
If you haven't seen this already just see it. The picture should convince you because well, Sarah Michelle Gellar kissing women (and men) is a win for bisexuals everywhere. But this movie is funny, deeply messed up, and enjoyable every time.
Once again, objectively as a movie, maybe not the best. It's a romance, though, and romances always get a bad wrap. It also is deeply messed up and enjoyable every time. Is it problematic BDSM rep? Sure. But it's still a fun watch.
My favorite teen movie ever, bar none. I'll still watch a teen movie if it's good. This one is. Liv Tyler, Ethan Embry, Robin Tunney (i also fucking adore The Craft), and ofc one cannot forget Debi Mazar. Dumb kids being dumb kids trying to save a record store. Good soundtrack.
Kate Beckinsdale's in a corset and there's vampires. (It was never confirmed that this is the prequel to the Underworld movies but in my head it is.)
ummm, would anyone like to do this? I'll tag @iridescentnuances and also tag @vspin just for peer pressure, and anyone else who would like to do this! IDK who will even see this on a saturday, lol.

the top looking beautiful af in a dress and bamf as hell is my shit SO- cloud somehow time travels to crisis core era in full remake getup in the corset outfit
Tumblr media
ofc this creates an alternate & happier timeline.
a beautifully dressed figure entering shinra's main bldg where the famous trio have just come back from a mission & are loitering around in the lobby for a little before heading in to report.
said beauty partly turning their way when they pick up the faint smell of blood and the unique smell of hojo's lab, barely evident even to their enhanced noses. it's coming from the blond. just killed hojo & the president & now trying to figure out what to do next.
nobody's prepared for the way the mysterious figure is suddenly in front of sephiroth faster than anyone, including the trio, can blink. cloud's grabbed seph by the face tightly, holding him in place while looking into his eyes & connection to see if jenova's there.
everyone frozen at the person who's gotten one up on the most powerful figure in shinra. and that's how seph has his bottom sub awakening.

You were right about Miss G sending a message that the trainer had no idea she was sending. Miss G is trying to uphold the perfect image of the woman that has it all - children, money, this amazing body, and the hot, famous husband - through that premiere photo.
All his other clients - and even her last year (when things were supposedly good between them) - have progress pics on his page, but she sent a pic that included Ryan (and doesn't really show anything except for her arms and shoulders). 🙄 Last year he had all these body pics that showed off her legs and abs and how lean she was got with the waist trainer, but this year nothing except the terrible photo with Ryan. Even though she is trying to uphold this perfect life image, there are still cracks that you can see.
First - the waist trainer photo omg. I won't and can't even try to judge her use of one because I, too, have gone down that road, but it just shows how "dedication and hard work" only get you so far if you still feel pressured to wear (essentially) a corset to reach the "perfect figure". Same with her other coach that administered lymphatic drainage throughout the process just so her muscles would be even more defined via the loss of water weight. She literally has a post on her page talking about her body being "nothing out of this world" and it sure is easy to feel that way when you have not only the physical ability to push yourself, but the time and resources on top of it. Second - I have noticed the same thing about the lack of updates! And this is the same guy who has posts of Ryan from around this time last year (pre-comp) and even earlier (the matching abs convo, lmao) so obv they'd go together and do their separate routines. Less gym updates mean less attention on the fact that she's been flying solo? Hmmm. Since we're speaking on the importance of image, I just want to add that one of the gals she was on the birthday trip with (I clicked her account when I found the tag) has posts marking how much longer she had to wait for her wedding day (in 2022) and ofc now points out that she has a husband so like, as much as people want to be all "lol you think this person cares about fans on tumblr" it is, in fact, bigger than whatever gossip is circulating around here. We're not the only ones these folks are trying to fool, and we're not the ones whose opinion actually matters when all is said and done.

"Progressive women, wanting lightness, comfort, and ease of motion joined the "rational dress movement" and formed a society that protested against tightly fitted corsets and heavily weighted skirts... As women doctors began practicing medicine, they recognized all the unhealthy effects of irrational fashions and we're especially convinced that corsets could cause a displaced or prolapsed uterus, atrophy if abdominal muscles, damage to the liver, displacement of the stomach and intestines, and construction of the chest and ribs."
"the the president of the United States Grover Cleveland, to distrust and denounce the popular women's club movement that sometimes fostered these discussions. "These [women's club] are harmful in the way that directly menaces the integrity of our homes and the benign disposition and character of our women's wifehood and motherhood." the President insisted. "I believe that it should be boldly declared that the best and safest club for women to patronize is her home."
These were lines on pg121 from a current book I'm reading called Bold Spirit by Linda Lawrence Hunt about a true story on Helga Estby amazing journey of walk across America during 1890s. As she did that in limited time also had to advertise shorter dresses by wearing it with her daughter Clara across United States to win 10,000 bucks. This story is amazing, now I'm not one to really read books on history but I'm glad I did, this book teach me on some parts of what women had to go thru back then and her amazing journey. Im still in the middle of reading the book but I can't wait to finish it to see how her story ends and I suggest y'all read the book too!
It's amazing looking back on how they treated not only women's fashion style but also there lifestyle to now that women can dress how they want and get to work in office, ofc they are lots more problems in the world including all genders, at least this beautiful movement was successful and hope others will be to in the future.

Kurt Glee Rewatch: Vitamin D
Not a lot of Kurt this ep, but damn, guess it’s canon he’s done drugs now lol
Tumblr media
Lol at least Kurt is practicing his spins. You gotta spot yourself, babe.
Also, Kurt giving 0 fs about Will teaching, just scrolling through his phone. 
Tumblr media
I feel like Will can sense that Kurt is so done with him, so he makes zero effort. I legit can’t think of a single moment where the two connect? In s2 they talk? But it’s not that heartfelt and mainly Kurt calling him out on being complacent.
And I totally get Kurt wanting to be on the girls team. Puck (and prob the other footballers tho I’d like to think Mike and Matt weren’t involved) regularly bully him, why the hell would Kurt want to spend more time with them?
I do get the sense that Kurt loves Glee club, loves his new friend group, but would have no issue with Will being replaced bc oof
Tumblr media
Lowkey a fan of this look. And I love the eyeroll at Puck. Even as they all change, Kurt is never really close to Puck, don’t even have a legit conversation, and that’s fair bc Puck was one of the main bullies at the start.
Although, I do wish there was growth in Kurt getting to hang with the glee guys? We got the Kurt and Finn brother arc? But (esp with that stupid s3 moment Kurt dedicates his song to the guys) It would be interesting to see the guys learning to not just accept him, but actually spend time with him etc. I’ll def go into this more in later seasons...
Tumblr media
Can we just appreciate his expression here omg. Also love how he’s the only one who wears a scarf bc ofc
And then after the song all the guys celebrate and Kurt is off to the side but then Mike Chang goes over to include him which is so sweet. Wish we saw them have a conversation.... ever.
No but really, besides Finn, Kurt doesn’t talk to the guys. There’s Duets with Sam? But guess Kurt was scared off bc they never talk again til s5. Ugh.
Tumblr media
Love that he helps the girls out bc valid, there the only ones who are his actual friends.
Also, that comment about wanting exotic bird feathers.... I’ve done a heavy breakdown of all his fashion and he has never worn feathers?? I feel like a lot of his more flamboyant looks (heels, tiaras, corset...) are all off screen?
Maybe part is Chris Colfer declining (which, fair, he was getting enough hate for playing Kurt), but also they’ll add in these stereotypes as a joke when Kurt... really isn’t that girly? 
Tumblr media
Kurt’s look when Rachel says ‘sexual hunger of modern teens’ lol. And then he puts on sunglasses bc... sunshine? Was that scripted bc lowkey seems like a Chris move.
Will say, I kinda liked the girls better? But just bc the song choices were v fun. Poor Jenna tho, has permanent neck pain bc of this performance.
I know this is them on drugs, but in general there are soo many group performances done ‘for fun’ that are better than majority of their competition songs like gosh.
Tumblr media
And now Sue joins, sadly don’t have their unlikely (sorta) friendship yet.
Also, totally agree with Figgins about Will’s obsession with victory no matter the cost influencing the kids, but then his solution is Sue? Who’s... just as obsessed?
And Will is disappointed in the kids? Last ep he brought in an alcoholic who was way older then him and who flirted with teenage boys. And they didn’t think they were really doing something wrong, they were trusting their nurse? Like, they’re kids and most of this is them being failed by the adults around them.
I do wonder if parents were informed bc omg imagine Burt finding out. Prob not, bc school doesn’t want to get in trouble.
Anyway, next ep, also Kurt-light

a guide to bridgerton season 1
have u ever thought that bridgerton season 2 looks interesting but u really don't wanna bother with season 1? then this is the guide for u!
i'm gonna explain all characters and storylines from season 1 that i deem relevant here so naturally there'll be spoilers. i'm also going to do this mostly from memory (and it's been a while since i watched season 1) so there might be some minor mistakes but overall it should still get the same point across.
disclaimer: this post has an intended and expected target audience of one person so....do with that what u will. also i will be doing my best to explain erverything but i will also not be completely objective abt it. hope this helps <3
okay so getting right into it!
what is bridgerton?
bridgerton is a netflix tv show set in regency era england. the main characters are the bridgerton family, in particular the 8 children of violet bridgerton. the show is based on a book series by julia quinn, which is 8 books long, with each book being about a different bridgerton sibling meeting the "love of their life". the show follows this theme so far, with season 1 being about daphne bridgerton and season 2 about anthony bridgerton. every season has 8 episodes which are each about an hour long.
what not to expect from bridgerton:
historical accuracy
consistently good dialogue
flattering dresses (fuck i hate empire waistlines sm. and also how and why did they start a corset trend on tiktok. did nobody pay attention. there's no corsets involved here other than the absolutely useless ones they keep talking abt and showing in s1. bestie u're wearing an empire waistline why tf do u need to wear a corset)
a flawless masterpiece of a show
what to expect from bridgerton:
fun characters
occasionally really bad dialogue and occasionally some really good lines
nice visuals and colours
entertainment
classical covers of pop songs instead of normal classical music. it's distracting sometimes
good sibling dynamics
and yes ofc. sex scenes (less in season 2 than season 1 tho thank god. the ones in season 2 are in ep 7 and 8 i think)
the characters
so first i will be introducing all the characters and then get into all the plotlines, because i think that is the easiest way to explain it. season 1 is very convoluted so there is a lot of plotlines and a lot of characters to keep track of so bear with me. also i did only include ones i deemed relevant knowing for season 2 or for particular storylines from season 1 that carry on to season 2.
the bridgertons
there is a lot of them! pictured here in age order:
Tumblr media
starting out with violet bridgerton:
resident widow, lover of the alphabet (her kids are named in alphabetical order as pictured above), true love enthusiast and wannabe matchmaker nr 1
she's really into true love so she insists her children only marry if they really love their partner (u won't find a lot of endorsement of arranged marriages in this show, it's just all abt true love baby!), which makes her a little overbearing and frustrating at times but she's overall lovely and caring and also ms ma'am had 8 children she deserves to be a little annoying
anthony bridgerton:
nearly identical white guy nr 1, oldest sibling and the man of the family. takes his duties very seriously almost a little too much. very protective of his siblings. chronically stressed. if u see a white guy not frowning and having fun it's probably not him. bottles up his emotions. pathetic™. main character of season 2.
benedict bridgerton:
white guy nr 2, second oldest. the artsy sibling. if someone's painting it's probably him. very easy-going and relaxed. wants to do more with his life than sit around and be rich.
colin bridgerton:
white boy nr 3, traveling enthusiast. makes decisions™. kind of annoying at times but we persevere. midlife crisis at 21. friends with penelope featherington.
daphne bridgerton:
the star of the fam. everything is about her and if it's not about her then it's abt how it's not abt her. main character of season 1 and insanely annoying the whole time thru. looks like she's abt to start crying all the way thru s1. absolutely terrible not just subjectively but also objectively. only likeable as a side character and if u forget everything abt her from s1 and just watch s2.
eloise bridgerton:
deeper voice than u'd expect. wannabe feminist and a bit annoying abt it. a lot of people hate her bc they find her annoying but she's my girl so i will ask u to keep in mind that she's still learning and growing up with opinions different from seemingly everybody else so naturally she does things wrong sometimes as literally every human being does. she's got her heart in the right place and i think that's what matters. so bear with her pls and thank u. penelope's best friend.
francesca bridgerton:
absent icon. appears for 0.02 seconds before disappearing again. yes ma'am give us nothing
gregory bridgerton:
best boy. starts fights with hyacinth like constantly. just being fun in the background. good for him.
hyacinth bridgerton:
also just having fun in the background. starts fights with gregory constantly.
that's all the bridgertons! who is most important to remember? everyone from violet to eloise i'd say, the others don't appear much (especially francesca).
the featheringtons:
Tumblr media
if the bridgertons are the good guys these are the bad guys....pretty much. the bridgertons and the featheringtons are kind of like opposites.
lady featherington:
top left corner. i don't remember her name so u don't have to either. kinda annoying always has some drama going on that she girlbossed herself into and is now trying to girlboss her way out of again except make it complicated edition. basically the evil stepmother to penelope's cinderella except it's her actual mother. she's not that evil tho just a bit annoying tbh. only person who wears dresses that accentuate her waist and boobs.
lord featherington:
only relevant for some backstory i'll get into later u can forget abt him after this guide.
sister 1 (left, green dress):
literally never remember their names so u don't have to either. engaged to sneezy from snow white except taller. cinderella stepsister nr 1.
sister 2 (middle, orange dress):
cinderella stepsister nr 2. that's it tbh.
penelope "pen" featherington (right, yellow dress):
"the good egg" of the family and a wallflower. her mum makes her wear yellow and she absolutely hates it. is secretly in love with colin bridgerton. for reasons. eloise's best friend and friends with colin bridgerton.
some more featherington-related people:
Tumblr media
marina thompson:
distant cousin to the featheringtons. had a whole unnecessary storyline in s1 and was done super dirty. i'll get into it later. had a secret lover called george.
phillip crane:
my mortal enemy. george's .....brother????? i think????? married to marina for reasons i'll get into later. i want to kill him
lady danbury and simon basset
Tumblr media
these 2 are not related btw
lady danbury:
wannabe matchmaker nr 2, always bringing new people into town for. reasons, quite influential kinda lowkey the queen's bestie. raised simon after his father abandoned him bc he had a stutter and helped him overcome the stutter. a really fun character i like her.
simon basset:
main love interest of season 1. daddy issues so bad he swore to never have children (my bloodline ends with me type of dramatics). a boxer for some reason. allegedly a rake (that's what the besties call a regency era fuckboy) but the allegations have been neither confirmed nor denied. i think. also a bit annoying but also deserved better.
lady whistledown:
regency era gossip girl. basically an anonymous writer who has a gossip column that everyone is obsessed with. constantly talking shit abt people and Will ruin ur reputation for no reason. voiced by julie andrews. was revealed to be penelope featherington at the end of s1. girlboss.
queen charlotte
Tumblr media
the queen. obsessed with finding lady whistledown and also wearing massive gowns and wigs so big u wonder how she's even holding her head up. constantly snorting smthg, my working theory is that it's cocaine and if it's not i don't wanna know bc cocaine is funnier.
other notable side characters:
Tumblr media
madame delacroix:
modiste. singlehandedly carrying everyone's fashion on her shoudlers. fake french accent. a girlboss. had a thing with benedict bridgerton. left for france at the end of s1.
will mondrich:
didn't know his name until like 2 seconds ago so u don't have to remember it either. simon's bestie and boxing partner (and professional boxer). made a deal with lord featherington that earned him some money and he quit boxing and opened up a bar (?) no one goes to.
the storylines
okay so now i will be getting into all the storylines from season 1. there's a lot. first i'll explain the main storyline with daphne and simon and then i'll go thru all the characters and explain their respective side storylines. but first!
the setting
so bridgerton is set in regency era england as mentioned before, specifically london. every season of the show takes place in the "social season" or just "season", which means all the rich people ("the ton") hold balls and charity events literally all the time, which is why there is a ball twice every episode. every season the young ladies who are of age or smthg are introduced to the queen (their so-called "debut"). out of those the queen names a "diamond" every season, who is whatever young lady the queen likes the best and has the highest expectations for that season. that places a lot of pressure on the young lady to appeal to the queen and makes her more desirable since the queen approves of her, which also means she needs to live up to the expectations.
daphne & simon:
before we get into it a little warning there are gonna be mentions of r*pe in this storyline.
let's get into it! season 1 starts out with daphne making her debut into society, she gets presented before the queen and does so flawlessly. the queen likes her and names her the diamond of the season (that doesn't happen right away i think but i don't remember when it did so i'll just mention it right away). simon basset comes to stay with lady danbury, since she convinced him to join the season after his father passed away. lady whistledown publishes her first ever article, attracting the attention of the ton, including the queen.
anthony promises to help daphne find a suitor but drives away literally any guy even looking into daphne's direction except for the worst guy ever, lord berbrooke (he'll be irrelevant in a moment don't worry). lord berbrooke is overall very slimy and very pushy, insisting that daphne marries him, not respecting her at all, etc etc. anthony (in a bad mood due to circumstances i'll get into later) already promised daphne to lord berbrooke tho. daphne isn't very happy about it. during a ball, lord berbrooke and daphne happen to meet in the gardens (maybe he followed her i forgot), and when he tries to assault her, daphne punches him (knocked out clean ms ma'am has a strong punch). simon witnesses the entire thing which is scandalous bc a lady shouldn't be seen with a gentleman because people might just assume smthg scandalous happened between them. so daphne is caught with lord berbooke by simon, which makes this double scandalous. so simon and daphne form an agreement to enter a fake courtship (yes it's regency era fake dating), because daphne needs a suitor because she's the diamond of the season and simon wants to get lady danbury off his back (i think. very unsure abt this but simon benefitted from the whole thing as well that's for sure).
anthony doesn't like that his sister and his bestie simon are involved with each other (because he thinks simon is a rake. takes one to know one that's all i'll say), but simon tells anthony what lord berbrooke did to daphne and anthony is furious and cancels their agreement. lord berbrooke isn't happy about it and gets a special marriage license for himself and daphne (that's basically a shortcut to marriage) and threatens to expose her. lady bridgerton (violet) saves the day by spreading rumours abt lord berbrooke that lady whistledown publishes in her writing and he's forced to leave london.
daphne and simon grow closer (chemistry though? we're missing her dearly), until the queen introduces her nephew to daphne. prince friedrich of prussia (white guy with blonde hair, blue eyes and a german accent. it'd be almost offensive if i didn't go to high school with a guy exactly like that, name and all) is kinda taken with daphne. lady danbury pressures simon to propose to daphne and he calls off their fake courtship and leaves london, which upsets daphne and makes her accept friedrich's advances.
daphne attends a boxing match with friedrich, where he proposes but daphne doesn't know what to do because she caught feelings for simon so she flees to the gardens. simon shows up to say goodbye and apologise but daphne flees and then they make out. anthony witnesses that tho and demands simon marry daphne and simon refuses which makes daphne upset again. and because simon refused anthony insists on duelling simon (no not swords unfortunately. it is with guns they stand around dramatically and attempt to kill eo or smthg) (wE dUeLL at dAwN). anthony actually has ulterior motives here i'll explain later. daphne finds out tho that not only anthony witnessed them making out but so did cressida cowper, who lowkey blackmails her abt it, so daphne rushes to stop the duel. simon tells daphne that he doesn't wanna marry her because he can't have children and daphne decides to marry him anyways.
they try to get a special marriage license but the queen makes sure they don't get it, so they go to the queen to convince her that they're in love and to ask her to let them get married. they suceed thanks to simon and get married. lady bridgerton tries to explain sex to daphne, gets embarrassed, uses way too many euphemisms and metaphors and leaves daphne knowing less than before. simon and daphne travel back to simon's estate (clyvedon) and stop at an inn for the night. simon gets them separate rooms and daphne gets upset and they get into an argument and surprisingly for the first time in 5 entire episodes communication takes place and love confessions happen and then they have sex.
daphne and simon arrive at clyvedon and spend the rest of their honeymoon there. daphne has difficulty winning over the housekeeper and then offends the entire village. simon focuses on paperwork more. the housekeeper tells daphne abt simon's tragic past. daphne begs a maid to tell her how sex and getting pregnant works and finds out that simon can have children he just doesn't want to. she then proceeds to r*pe simon, intending to get pregnant and when he gets upset about it, she blames it all on him for "not telling her the truth" because he was "ambiguous with his wording".
daphne and simon continue being at odds and daphne returns to london, because colin got caught up in scandal (i'll get into it later). simon decides him and daphne will live separately if daphne is not pregnant. daphne attends a party with lady danbury. anthony and simon get into a fight. daphne discovers why simon doesn't want children. they attend an opera where daphne gets her period and then cries about not being pregnant (by the way daphne always wanted children and simon knew that which is why he didn't want to marry her bc he knew he couldn't give her what she wants).
daphne finds out more abt simon's childhood and finds letters he wrote to his father that his father never read. simon "reconsiders what he wants" after spending time with daphne's younger siblings. they throw a ball and reconcile and then go on to have kids.
that's it for simon and daphne's story. as u can see it's pretty bad. these 2 lack chemistry, have too many sex scenes, could solve their problems by sitting down and having a proper conversation for 5 minutes and overall daphne is just a terrible person. the whole time she's very whiny and whenever simon gets upset she blames it all on him. especially after she r*ped him, she never apologised for her actions and simon is forced to apologise to HER for "lying". so that's that. now onto other stories.
anthony & siena
when the whole story starts anthony is in a situationship with an opera singer called siena. they hook up casually but they're not in a relationship because they can't be because she's a commoner. violet bridgerton implies that she knows about their Thing in a conversation with anthony where she also implies he should focus on his duties more. siena also at some point says they can't be together because of their class differences. overall all you need to know about this storyline is that these two were on and off all the time, constantly going back to each other to have sex but then breaking up again because reality hit. they are in love with each other though.
by the time anthony catches simon and daphne in the gardens and demands to duel with simon, he made up a plan. either he dies or he survives by killing simon and then plans to flee the country (because he killed someone and also i think duels are illegal so that's also why? i could be wrong tho) and take siena with him and they'd live their happily ever after somewhere else. the duel gets called off though so anthony goes back to siena but she's gone and only her good friend the modiste madame delacroix answers the door and says siena has left town.
he sees her again at a boxing match with another man. she tries to make him jealous and they hook up under the bleachers and spend more time together at her house. anthony invites her to simon and daphne's ball but she declines. later, anthony goes to her house with flowers, but the man she was with earlier, opens the door. siena comes out to talk to anthony and tells him to move on from her, because she is trying to move on too and that she is content.
anthony is heartbroken and at the end of the first season exudes peak clownery, serving entire circus, when he tells simon and daphne that he has "determined that the difficulty is love itself" and he shall promptly find a suitable wife without love.
if there are any mistakes in this guide i'd say this storyline would be where they come up the most, since i just wasn't that interested in their storyline and they were on again off again so often it's hard to keep track. i liked their ending though i'm glad they let siena move on. also anthony is very different in season 1 than season 2. surprisingly, he becomes less annoying.
benedict, art & gays
so benedict's whole deal is that he's not like other girls. he would like to be an artist. at an art gallery (?) he meets another gentleman, sir henry granville, who is an artist and befriends him. sir henry invites him to a party (this is around the time daphne & simon try to get a special marriage license). when benedict gets there it's this hedonistic gathering of people having sex and making out all over the place, drinking alcohol and creating art. there he meets madame delacroix and makes out with her. he tries to get them a room but when he opens the door: boom! gay sex right in front of his eyes.
Tumblr media
yeah. it's sir henry granville his good heterosexual friend getting railed. how did this happen. anyways benedict takes a little moment to reconsider his entire life and then gets interrupted by mamdame delacroix calling his name. she's sitting on a bench (like one of those old fancy benches u'd lean/lie on and lazily eat grapes. u know the one) with another women and benedict joins them and they all make out.
at the next ball benedict meets sir henry again and benedict assures him he won't tell anyone what he saw that night. sir henry then goes on to introduce benedict to his wife and whoopsie it's the woman who was with madame delacroix that night who he also made out with (and presumably also had sex with).
at the next event of the ton, sir henry chats him up again and asks if benedict will attend another party since he hasn't been lately. benedict and sir henry then both spot sir henry's good friend lord weatherby, and sir henry offers to introduce benedict to him but benedict, acting absolutely everything but normal, makes excuses and runs off, implying that lord weatherby is in fact the guy he saw with sir henry that night.
at another ball, benedict approaches sir henry and asks him about his situation. sir henry explains that he's in love with lord weatherby and benedict is like but you're MARRIED and sir henry is like yeah and my wife can do whatever tf she wants and is protected and cared for we're probably happier than half of the people in this room. and then a very iconic dialogue happens and it goes like
benedict: and what is the advantage for all the young ladies lord weatherby is courting? or do they also share this understanding? what about honour? romance?
sir henry: what would you know of either? we live on a constant threat of danger every day, bridgerton. i risk my life every day. for love. you have no idea what it is like to be in a room with someone you cannot live without, and it still feels as though you are oceans apart. stealing your glances, disguising your touches, we can't so much as smile at each other, without first ensuring no one else is watching. it takes courage, to live outside the traditional expectations of society. you talk of doing the same, but perhaps it is merely just that. all talk.
and then he leaves. ICONIC SHIT. and i really hope this is not foreshadowing for benedict's book plot because i will literally start killing. anyways so benedict gets read to absolute filth and that's that. after that benedict starts hooking up with madame delacroix. otherwise, i think his arc ends here.
overall a nice arc, i'm suspiciously eyeing the gay people and threatening the writers abt benedict's season but we move.
colin, marina, penelope & the art of decision-making
marina comes to stay with the featheringtons and lady featherington absolutely hates her right from the start for no good reason. marina is just minding her business. then one day lady featherington finds out from a maid that marina hasn't had her period in 2 months and lady featherington comes to the (correct) conclusion that marina is pregnant. she promptly gives marina house arrest and only penelope comes to visit her in her room. marina shares with penelope that the child is from a man named sir george crane, who is currently fighting in spain. marina also wrote him a letter telling him about the child.
lady featherington decides to find a match for marina who will marry her as soon as possible, so it is not too late and would ruin her and by extension the featherington's reputation. she tries to set her up with a bunch of old guys but they're all slimy and disgusting and she doesn't like them. marina is still waiting for george to write her back. penelope checks the mail every time in case there's a letter for marina in there but there never is one. until one day there is and marina opens it and george wrote her back, denying that there was ever anything between them. marina is heartbroken.
she is then again presented with more old suitors who want to marry quickly and are in need of an heir. colin saves her from these suitors and they dance. they start to like each other. penelope, who is secretly in love with colin, is jealous of him paying so much attention to marina. lady featherington then tells marina to cut colin out because he won't marry her fast enough but marina insists and tells her she's sure colin will propose. at daphne's wedding, colin proposes to marina, but with the condition of a long engagement period, which marina simply cannot afford, but she agrees nonetheless.
colin announces his engagement to marina to his family, who aren't very happy about it. penelope then confides in colin, that marina is in love with another man, hoping to break up the engagement. colin suggests marina and him should get married sooner then by traveling to scotland. penelope then discovers that the letter from george, that broke marina's heart, was faked by lady featherington and tells marina about it but marina dismisses her and says she wants to marry colin anyways and wants to move on from george. then lady whistledown publishes marina's secret -her pregnancy- which shocks colin greatly.
through lady whistledown's writing, colin gets caught up in a scandal, which gives daphne an excuse to return to london, away from her own problems with simon, to support her brother. she arranges a meeting between colin and marina. they have an argument, colin expresses how betrayed he feels and marina explains that she didn't know what else to do. colin cancels the engagement.
daphne attends a party with lady danbury, where all the married women of the ton get together. daphne uses that chance to help marina by locating george. meanwhile marina tries to end her pregnancy through a tea and passes out. not long after, my mortal enemy sir phillip crane arrives and tells marina he is george's brother and that george died in battle and that he wanted to marry her. he then offers to marry her in his place, but marina declines and says she is no longer pregnant. but after sir phillip crane leaves, marina finds out she is still pregnant. at the end of season 1 she leaves london with sir phillip crane to marry him.
penelope gets up her courage to confess to colin, but before she can tell him, he tells her he is going to travel the world and she doesn't confess.
at the end of the show penelope is revealed to be lady whistledown.
eloise & lady whistledown
eloise is daphne's younger sister, feeling like she not only stands in her shadow since daphne appears so perfect but also like the black sheep of the family due to her feminist beliefs. she wants more out of life than just marrying a man but knows she can't do that because she is a woman. that's why she supports benedict in his pursuit of art, because then at least one of them could be happy.
around the time marina tells penelope about george and simon tells anthony about what lord berbrooke did to daphne, eloise starts wondering about how women get pregnant, which she finds to be horrible, so she wants to know how it happens so she can avoid it. she asks her family about it but violet is scandalised and forbids her brothers to tell her.
at some point eloise decides to find lady whistledown. why? i don't remember, sorry. she starts investigating and strings along penelope. the queen takes an interest in eloise's investigation, because she wants to find lady whistledown herself to make her pay for going against her. so she gets eloise to share her findings and make her find lady whistledown for her. after colin and marina's scandal, eloise wants to find her even more to convince her to restore the featherington's reputation, even when she herself has to prepare for her debut the next season. the queen isn't very impressed with eloise's results however, and decides to find lady whistledown on her own. eloise suspects madame delacroix to be lady whistledown and confronts her about it, trying to convince her to write something good about the featheringtons.
wanting to protect lady whistledown, eloise tries to find out what the queen has planned for lady whistledown. she finds out from the queen's advisor (?) that they plan to unmask lady whistledown and that they have worked out where lady whistledown gets her articles printed and that she brings them there when everyone is distracted by big events, such as simon and daphne's ball everyone is currently at. eloise then rushes to the printer's press to see if lady whistledown arrives. a carriage arrives and eloise sees a man running towards it so she tips off the carriage and tells them to leave because it is a trap. at the end of season 1 eloise finds out that benedict was with madame delacroix that same night she saved lady whistledown, meaning she can't be lady whistledown, which shocks eloise greatly.
lord featherington & will mondrich
the other ones i put a little bit of research into but this one i will recite from memory bc it's not that deep, not that important and also i've been typing for hours i have had enough besties.
okay so lord featherington has a gambling habit and spent all of his family's money on betting. lady featherington finds out about it and tells lord featherington he needs to get this sorted out again (i think so. i vaguely remember that)
(this is all a guess now bc i didn't actually understand what was going on at the time i watched it) so lord featherington goes to will mondrich, a boxer, and offers him a deal. he will bet a lot of money on him losing and wants will to lose for him. in return, will will receive some of that money, so him and his wife can live a better life. will reluctantly agrees even tho he is all about honour and gets the money. he later gets into an argument about it with simon who suspects that he lost on purpose, after he sees lord featherington leave after dropping off the money.
lord featherington then shows the money to lady featherington, who is happy they get to continue living their expensive lifestyle. lord featherington slips back into his gambling habits tho and then gets murdered by his associates, leaving his family financially struggling.
final notes
if you made it this far u're braver than the US marines truly. i hope this guide helped and enjoy season 2 it gets better from here <333

here, take my lake and jesse (also sometimes nate) headcanons
this is just me putting down whatever comes to mind when i think of these 3 idiots, it doesn't really tie together at all
it's mostly of lake sjfjskfk, and im probably gonna keep adding onto this as stuff comes to mind
lake is nonbinary, no questions asked. i hc her as a she/they nonbinary because y'all don't get enough rep akfndkfm
i like to think jesse is pansexual and lake is bisexual
in school, lake is the quiet kid that you're very intimidated of, but when you get to know her she's like the best friend ever. they'll beat your ass if you so much as touch one of her friends
lake almost exclusively wears cargo pants and ripped t-shirts/hoodies with boots. but one time, they wore a corset and jesse almost fucking died
jesse usually tries to get them to hang out with his friends, and at first she wasn't too into it, but eventually they've just become part of the group and they all hang out a lot (NOT jesse's shitty friends though)
i saw someone else say this and i had to include it: lake can eat almost anything, so jesse dares her to eat various not-food things. one time they ate a glass bottle
whenever she wants a haircut, lake steals (borrow) jesse's dad's sander and go to town, usually jesse helps style her hair. more often than not it's short. her hair is kinda like rlly thin wires, so it's easy to style, but brushes don't rlly work
for a while after getting off the train she still has a fear of reflective surfaces, they try to hide it but ofc jesse notices and he helps her through it
lake, jesse and nate LOVE minecraft, they play it together often and watch a lot of minecraft videos
lake really likes going out at night, and sometimes they wake up in the middle of the night and gets jesse to sneak out to take a walk or whatever other trouble they could get up to. jesse never really wants to bc sleep is good but he enjoys spending time with lake so he goes anyway
a couple years after the train nate comes out as gay and they're so fucking supportive of him :))
every time someone asks why lake is made of metal, they give a different explanation. ("i was grown in a lab" "why are you not made of metal?" "its uhh...LARPing..." "i'm not made of metal, what do you mean?")
lake likes to draw and paint sometimes !! and she always gets jesse to do it with them, they like to paint landscapes
jesse tried to help them swim one time by attaching as many floaty things as he could to her, and it kinda worked, but it takes so much work that they don't to it much
since jesse had actual proof of the train (lake and the pictures he took in the train) it was MUCH easier to explain it to his parents, although it took him ages to explain it because his parents were very confused
in that moment where they both got off the train finally and when lake chooses her name, them and jesse hug :)
when jesse gets a car, he buys a deer hood ornament bc of alan dracula
lake and jesse are like. really dumb. and when they're together (which is most of the time) their dumbness combines
im pretty sure owen said that lake doesn't grow as she ages but !! in my brain they do >:(
at some point they meet tulip, not sure why or how but they do and they basically become siblings
there wasn't really a big moment where lake and jesse confessed their crushes on each other, it was just kinda just gradual as they got older. they slowly started being more and more affectionate with each other as the years passed, and one night on one of their little escapades lake decided to kiss jesse out of nowhere. from then on, they were partners (in crime)
this won't leave my brain...jesse is a bottom,,
take one good look at lake and tell me they don't exude MAJOR top energy
i don't know how that ^ would work and im not gonna think about it
lake comes to all of jesse's swim meets where he does the things HE enjoys and shes just like *proud partner noises*
they cuddle w/ each other at night but lake has a tendency to spread out all over the bed and like. jesse gets trapped under her heavy ass limbs sometimes
that's all for now

Peter Nureyev thoughts for fic writers
- Nureyev as a name means “light”
- he’s named after a ballet dancer, who’s nickname as a child was “the white crow” (so maybe Peter uses “white crow” as a thief alias/code name)
- according to a q&a he apparently can’t cook (the possibilities for this I stg. Maybe Juno CAN cook and so he tries to teach Peter? Or maybe NEITHER of them can cook so disaster ensues? Maybe neither of them can cook but Peter swears he can and ends up making the worst meal ever?) (or Buddy insists that everyone take turns cooking meals for the family, when it’s Peter’s turn he rlly tries but makes the worst dinner ever. Maybe everyone laughs about it? Or pretends it’s great to be polite bc he rlly tried?)
- I swear every Nureyev cosplayer has glasses, is this canon and did I forget? Maybe he doesn’t need glasses he just thinks they look neat. (Or maybe he wears contacts and he loses one in the middle of a heist and Juno has to help him look for it/do the heist with bad vision? And they can hear the whole from family freaking out/laughing with the comms?) (ok now I’m just imagining- Peter: “how am I supposed to do this with only one eye?” Juno: *pauses, gestures to his missing eye*) (maybe rlly cool colored contacts for aliases?)
- WHAT IF HE BUYS STUPID BUMPER STICKERS FOR THE RUBY 7 ?!?!
- the whole sharp teeth thing - I don’t have anything to add I just feel like it should be said
- corsets??? (Again, nothing to add I just follow a lot of cosplayers sry.)
- this man wears too many rings, and I can tell bc I wear too many rings. (Maybe each one is from a different heist/job and he collects them for the memories.)
- I think he wears pretty press on nails but his actual nails are short bc he bites them when he’s stressed
- he likes to draw, he has a sketchbook (maybe he draws Juno, and Juno accidentally snoops and sees all the drawings?) (He also draws everyone else in the aurinko family, buddy finds his drawing of the family together at dinner, after some arguing he agrees to let her frame it and hang it up)
- I FEEL LIKE PETER AND RITA SHOULD HANG OUT MORE - peter’s great at memorizing things, so when he actually gets interested in Rita’s favorite stream they have long discussions about it including all their theories for next week’s episode - peter’s great at makeup but Rita just likes to but the glittery stuff and bright colors anywhere she thinks they look fun on her face, so they do each other’s makeup sometimes - them doing each other’s nails and Rita begging Peter to pick a color for himself that’s not boring - I think they both wear glasses so ofc they do that thing all ppl with glasses do when they make friends with someone who wears glasses, they try on each other’s glasses- maybe Rita does a hilarious Peter impression when she tries on his glasses
-
-
if you end up being inspired by/using any of this in your fic plz send me the link to your fic I’d love to read it! I plan to make similar posts for more penumbra characters rlly soon, but if you want a specific character, comment or message and I’ll make them a priority!
(Btw I just finished season 2, so sry if any of this has already been addressed! But if you want to send me a fic with s3 spoilers that’s ok, I’ve read a lot already so I don’t mind!)

hello it's me again👉🏻👈🏻 i would love to get the reading about in which time period i should be in and how i would be bcs this sounds really interesting to me hehe. (ofc u can answer if you have time, don't rush yourself. take care!)
Sun: Aquarius
Moon: Capricorn
Rising: Taurus
and i'm not sure if my feedback reached you, but it resonated. :) Ty💕 (and take always a break u need!)
The Renaissance (15th to 17th century) or age of discovery (15th to 16th century (possibly more but yeah)💕
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Granted, some of the paintings are of the wrong timeline possibly like the 1st and biggest image, the clothing and corset seemed to fit (especially looking at the sleeves and thinking on status). But that one was from Pinterest so- I tried not to include religious topics in paintings but it was inevitable I'm sorry if you are offended in any way (I need to do more research on this period of time).
This was a time of course, of discovery, people went out of boundaries and ways to search for new and exciting things, realizing as they'd always believed that there was more to this world and finally seeing it in ways. For the many of the world and in small portions though. These times were also terrible due to deaths, killing, savagery that came from the exploitations brought up by the explorers, and more.
This just stuck out to me at first thought! I saw a white gown of some sorts, tied or done up hair, tightly done with a head decoration of some kind. Earrings of ivory white or red. Red or blonde mixed hair. A cute and soft smile to yourself. I got strong LGBTQ+ vibes also! It was adorable seeing your counterpart with their lover in a pond like area.

okay!!! Tahlia wears clothes, yes 
I saw other people doing outfit sheets for their Dragon Age PCs and thought I’d give it a go ( : It’s a good reference for whenever I get around to buying art of her as well;;;; Details/Links below the cut! ty 
All links go to Pintrest! Tahlia’s Pintrest board can be found here.
Casual 1 Shoe Inspo
Casual 2 I imagine this feels like PJs Dress Inspo
Sleepwear She probably has other PJs for when ya know she has to be around other people other than Alistair but I’d imagine this is her fav set, with some hand carved buttons.
Outerwear Collar Inspo Big cloak and her warden boots and not just because i didn’t want to draw more shoes
Warden Standard Warden Armor. Hair pulled back into a bun.
Warden Formal Dress Inspo with a lil Warden belt buckle and ofc no shoes
Wedding Okay so this is something of my own creation and is the only garment that really needs explaining! My thought process was really that wedding dresses are an unusual and unnecessary expense to make/store so it would make sense to me that Dalish clans may have one dress that all the brides use. The pieces can be adjusted to fit brides of all sizes and contains a halla leather corset/bracers. There is a personal cloth that often gets tied along the waist over the skirt- this is often made by a family member. Tahlia’s is this netted green fabric which was made by Ashalle for her with the holes representing all the people who couldn’t be at her wedding.
Formal Honestly this dress should include the ‘I Really Wish I Weren’t Here Right Now!’ Button from Spongebob because the only time this gets used is probably when she feels obligated to accept an invite from Anora to the palace. I honestly redesigned the garment about 5 times to try and come up with something nice looking that she would also wear. Shoe Inpso
Other notes- She has 2 tattoos an elf root tattoo and a moon phases tattoo obtained in 9:36 and 9:34 respectively.
She has 3 piercings on each ear, mixed metal jewelry is fine. Tend to sticks to hoops but also has a letter “A” earring she wears on a rare occasion. Alistair tends to buy most of her jewelry for her.
For makeup, she wears a matte dusty pink lip, and gold eyeshadow. She also paints her nails black but tends to let the nail polish chip.

The Hunter’s Princess- Chapter 2: The Princes’ Challenge
Pairing: Dean x OFC Kira (eventual), Prince!Dean x OFC Lady Kira. Other Characters: Sam Winchester, Prince!Sam Winchester, Castiel, Rowena, Gabriel, King!John, Queen!Mary, Lucifer and assorted minor characters.
Chapter 2 Word Count: 2550+
Warnings: Kira’s self-doubt, Dean angst, mostly fluff though. Each chapter will have individual warnings as needed.
A/N: This is from some material that’s been rattling around in my head from another project that changed direction. Couldn’t let all this content go to waste, though, so here it is. It’s a work-in-progress, and I will try and update as regularly as I can. If you want to be tagged in this series, send me a message!
Thank you and happy reading!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Castiel bowed and left the room, knowing his friends, Prince Dean and Prince Samuel would explain everything to him later. "As we have gotten older, we have decided it's time for one of you to take over as king. However, you will also need a queen to rule by your side," Queen Mary remarked.
"So, to choose your queen, we suggest a tournament of sorts. Something to help you find the woman most likely to fulfill her duties as your queen. There will be challenges to demonstrate each candidate's strengths in archery and the equestrian arts. Your mother and I will also conduct an interview with each woman," King John explained.
"Each province will send their best competitor. At the end, there will be a ball, where you will each announce your final choices. If you do not find a suitable wife by that time, we will choose for you. This is an important decision, one you will have to live with your entire life, so please choose wisely," Queen Mary warned. "For now, I suggest we ALL get some sleep, so we can do some planning in the morning," she advised.
Each of the princes came over to kiss their mother's cheek and say goodnight. Then they went to their separate rooms, changed into sleeping attire and went to sleep. Castiel would have to wait until morning for his explanation of the conversation between the princes and their parents.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning, a proclamation was issued. A search was being held to determine who would be the next queen after marrying either Prince Dean or Prince Samuel. A tournament would take place, featuring events in archery and the equestrian arts. An interview with the current king and queen was also part of the competition. On the final evening, a ball would be held to announce the winner.
Word of the tournament spread quickly throughout the land. When it reached Kira's ears, she began to wonder how it fit in with the reason she was sent here. She got ready for the day and checked across the hall to see if Rowena was awake yet. Her door was open, but she was not inside, so Kira went downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning, everyone," she announced. Alfred and Rowena were discussing the matter and looked up to greet Kira in return. Stefan offered his good morning wishes when he brought the coffee and tea pots to the table for refills. He also placed a tray of his decadent cinnamon rolls on the table, making her mouth water. Business first, though, she thought.
"I assume you've all heard of the Princes' Challenge?" Kira asked.
"We were just discussing the matter, Lady Kira. Lady Rowena has mentioned that you stand an excellent chance of winning and becoming the next queen. I happen to agree with her assessment," Alfred stated, nodding in solidarity with Rowena.
"You definitely meet all the criteria, dearie," Rowena affirmed.
"So what are the criteria for this 'Challenge'?" Kira asked.
Rowena listed the following requirements to compete in the Princes' Challenge.
One: The candidate must be of noble birth.
Two: Only one candidate may be chosen from each province.
Three: Events will include Archery and the Equestrian Arts. These events will be followed by a private interview with King John and Queen Mary. On the last night, a ball will be held, where a decision will be announced.
The Princes' Challenge will begin in two weeks. Candidates must report to Winchester Castle upon arrival.
"You really think I can pull this off? I mean, I have the athletic stuff covered, no problem, but a private interview with the king and queen? 'Soft-spoken' and 'demure' are not exactly in my vocabulary, you know. If I'm going to screw up anywhere, it'll be there. That and....I can't dance," Kira replied, mumbling the last part about dancing.
"Och, not to worry, Kira, I'm working on a solution to get you some help in those areas. Even the dancing part, dearie," Rowena smirked. Kira stuck out her tongue at her in response.
"See? I'm acting like a child. I'll just mess everything up, so I might as well not even go! Besides, who will run the pub, make sure the townspeople are taken care of?" Kira added.
"Lady Kira," Alfred began. "I have worked for this family since before you were born. Well, the you that was born in this dimension," he smiled wryly.
"Wait a minute, Alfred. You've known all this time?" she asked.
"As I said, I've worked for this family for a very long time. I know you are not the Lady Kira native to this dimension. You are very much alike, don't get me wrong, but there are some subtle differences. But I also know that you are our best hope of restoring each Lady Kira to her rightful dimension. I believe the only way you can do that is to compete in and win the Princes' Challenge," Alfred finished.
"Beggin' your pardon, Lady Kira, but Alfred and I can look after the townsfolk in your absence," chimed in Coraline. "And you know Ella can run that pub of yours inside and out, backwards and forwards. Besides, you may find true love when you least expect it!" she exclaimed.
"All right, all right, I'll go! Rowena, I'll need you with me. No telling when I'll need the services of a witch, especially since it was magic that sent me here," Kira muttered.
After a breakfast of coffee and one of Stefan's cinnamon rolls, Kira and Rowena went upstairs to pack. Kira made sure to bring practical outfits, due to the nature of the competition. She also took her best gown for the ball on the final night. It was made of a dusty rose-colored satin, off the shoulder, corseted bodice and a long flowing skirt with tulle overlay. Kira threw in a few pairs of leggings, her boots and some tunics for the competition days. She included some "day dresses" for wearing when not in competition.
When Kira walked downstairs, Rowena was ready to go and Kira bid farewell to her house staff. The carriage was packed with their luggage, and as they pulled away, Kira waved goodbye to everyone. She knew she was leaving her tiny estate in capable hands. The staff was more than that, though, they were family. Kira knew they would do everything possible to take care of their home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The princes met up with Castiel so that they could fill him in on what's going on. He seemed a bit skeptical that their parents' plan would work to decide the next queen.
"You have to find your true love through this competition, and decide before the ball? I don't know, my friends," Cas remarked.
"I'm not so sure either, Cas. But what choice do we have? If we don't choose, they'll choose for us. Besides, they still have the chance to interview the candidates, so that should alert us to potential red flags, right? Dean?" Prince Samuel replied.
Prince Dean was lost in thought when his brother's voice jolted him back to reality. "Hmm? What? Absolutely, brother, whatever you say," he stammered.
"Dude, where is your mind? You've been like this ever since we left that pub. Now, what's going on?" Prince Samuel demanded.
"Sorry, I can't help thinking about that woman, Kira. I wish we could meet up with her again. She was....different. But in a good way," Prince Dean hastily added. "I asked around about her. Collins said she inherited her land from her father, since there were no male heirs and she had no husband.
"When he died, he left her with a mountain of debt, so she's had to sell off pieces of her land to keep things afloat. Even so, she struggles with making ends meet, but she makes sure to take care of the townfolk, like her family. He said everyone adores her, and they're fiercely loyal to her," he finished.
"Sounds like someone's a little smitten," Castiel snickered.
"So what if I am? From what I've seen, she's kind, caring, has a great sense of humor. And as loyal as the townfolk are to her, she's just as protective of them. Remember how I teased her about being 'Lady Kira'? She quietly let me know how things work around there and how she doesn't do it for the recognition. She does it because she cares," Prince Dean retorted.
Prince Samuel held up his hands in surrender. "She sounds great, almost too good to be true. But, I hope she does show up, so that I can get to know her a little better as well. I wasn't too focused on that the first time we met."
Prince Dean hadn't thought of that. Since she does hold a title, she's eligible for his parents' little "tournament". That would give him the chance to find out even more about her. He really didn't like to admit when his brother is right, but in this case he is: Prince Dean is a little smitten with Lady Kira.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Rowena? Are you sure I should be doing this? I mean, it seems like there's so much more I could or should be doing at home. I'm not 'queen material', and probably never will be, because I know myself too well. I'm not the uptight, 'genuflect when you say that' type. The kingdom is much larger than our little space in the world, so much more to have control of. It'll take a bit of a strong hand to keep order, and I don't know if I can do that," Kira finished.
"Och, darlin', don't you worry about that. Just be yourself, and they will love you. Besides, I think a member of the royal family is already a bit smitten with ye," she added mysteriously.
"What are you talking about?" Kira demanded.
"I was talking to Alfred before you came down for breakfast, and I happened to tell him about last night in the pub. He said that the two men that came in late for drinks were none other than Prince Dean and Prince Samuel!" she announced.
Kira gasped in complete surprise. "No.....I'm completely doomed! I was such an idiot last night! Prince Dean called me by my title, and I got a little upset with him. I explained how things work in our neck of the woods and kind of slammed his beer down on the bar. I should go back. Driver? Please take me home," she commanded.
"Driver, you'll do no such thing, keep on course," Rowena declared. To Kira she said, "He is under strict orders to deliver you to Winchester Castle, even if you give him a direct order to do otherwise."
Kira crossed her arms over her chest and slouched in her seat, pouting in her corner of the carriage. She knew Rowena was right to keep on their course to Winchester Castle. She still had her doubts, though, about whether she was fit to be queen. Rowena must have sensed that, because she came over to sit beside Kira. "Don't worry, dearie. I've arranged for some assistance--" she broke off, and as there was a whooshing of wings, Gabriel appeared where Rowena had been sitting.
Kira sat up straighter in utter surprise. "Gabriel?? How did you know where I was?" she asked incredulously.
"Uh hello? Archangel?" he said sarcastically. "I can go anywhere I want, and Sweetcheeks, I'm particularly tuned to where you are. Besides, Thing One and Thing Two explained to me what happened. I suppose I'll be nice and let them know you're all right, but that you have work to do in this dimension."
Tears sprang to Kira's eyes as she thought about how worried her Sam and especially her Dean were about her disappearance. She wiped the tears away and looked at Gabriel. "Will you please do me a favor, Gabe? Will you please tell Sam and Dean that I love them, that I'm sorry to be away from them but that I'll be home as soon as I can?"
Kira knew Sam and Dean weren't Gabe's favorite humans, and the feeling was kind of mutual. But, she thought if he saw how upset she was, that he'd do as she asked. Gabriel rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, I'll tell them. You're lucky I love ya, kid. But I'm not kissing either one of them for you, no matter how many tears you cry," he declared.
Kira smiled through her tears and reached for his outstretched hand. "Thank you," she whispered. She turned her attention back to the rolling hills and trees that dotted the landscape. It had been awhile since Kira got to sit back and relax. Soon her eyelids became heavy and kept drifting closed. Before she knew it, she was snoozing away in her corner of the carriage, dreaming of a certain green-eyed prince that she was hoping to see again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back at the bunker, Sam had pulled some lore books to try and figure out how to return Kira to their dimension. On the other hand, Dean paced the floor, running over every detail of what had occurred in Room #17.
Rowena said that Kira's locket was a powerful charmed object that had been passed from mother to daughter for generations. With it, the wearer could move between worlds, which could be dangerous if it fell into the wrong hands. Dean only hoped that Kira would be found quickly and returned home before too much time had passed. Rowena was a powerful witch, but Dean didn't know if even she had enough juice to bring them both back.
As he paced the floor in the library, he heard the flapping of wings. At first, he thought it was Castiel, but before him stood none other than Gabriel. "Give me one good reason why you're here," Dean growled.
The archangel rolled his eyes. "Dude, I bring you news of your girlfriend, and this is the greeting I get?" Gabriel retorted.
"She's not my girlfriend," Dean shot back. Not yet anyway, he thought.
"Uh-huh, yeah. Right. Keep tellin' yourself that, bucko. Anyway, I'm supposed to tell you and Samsquatch that Kira loves you and she's sorry to be away from you. Also that she'll be home as soon as she can," Gabe finished.
"If you've seen her, where she is in that other world, then you can bring her back, right?" Dean asked hopefully.
"Um, no. It has to do with that locket around her neck that's blocking me from doing that. Relax, Dean-o, she's in good hands. I'm on her wavelength, so if anything goes wrong, I'll be there for her," Gabriel assured Dean.
"How the hell can I relax, when the woman I love is stuck in another dimension? Plus, no one has any real plan of how to bring her home!!" Dean roared.
"Well, at least you finally admitted your feelings for her. I'll see what I can do. Meantime, you two flannel-jockeys keep researching," Gabe snarled as he zapped out of the bunker.
Sam came over and laid his hand on Dean's shoulder. "He's right, Dean. We'll get Kira back. Then you can tell her how you feel," Sam remarked.
"I hope so, Sammy. I sure hope so," Dean replied softly.
Part 3 here!

Tumblr media
I smiled as Peter and I walked around the faire grounds, just the two of us, having left the babies in the care of their beloved Auntie Jackie, Auntie Sammy and cousin Baby Noah.
Today, I wore a light blue lace-up kirtle and a deep hunter green sideless surcoat over a dark cream chemise, my unruly curls were barely contained in tight twin braids that hugged either sides of my face and a light face of makeup- just the basics, liquid foundation, blush, mascara, bronzer and lips. I wore my trusty leather boots and carried my wicker basket on one arm, my other arm wrapped snuggly around my handsome older soulmate’s waist as he guided me through the rows of vender’s booths.
Peter had suggested to me that we have a mommy and daddy date day, and so after checking in with Elizabeth and Katie and pressing loving kisses to the babies’ faces, the both of us headed off on our way.
“Hey sweetheart?” he asked me as I was browsing through a stall’s bolts of fabric that they had out on display. “Do you think Bitty would want a case for her Celtic harp?”
“I think you should ask her and Katie before you buy them anything,” I hummed before accepting a business card from the stall owner, tucking it away into my belt pouch.
“Fair enough,” he chuckled. “Hey sweetheart, is there a preference to what fabric type you use when you sew?”
I brightened up right before I began to chatter his ear off on the different types of cotton there were out there and the various different ways to sew with the fabrics.
Peter stayed quiet, soaking in my words with a gentle smile on his face as the both of us went all around the faire. I was well aware of people taking pictures of us from time to time, and I could only smile, knowing perfectly well that I pretty much gave up my right to privacy when I married my rock star husband.
“Peter Steele!”
Peter tugged me off to the side, turning to smile at two girls- one with shocking electric green hair and an ear full of piercings and the second wearing a low cut corset top that basically let her breasts spill out. I watched as he chatted with the Type O Negative fans, the three of them posing for pictures that I had offered to take and having him autograph their bosoms.
“Do you mind, sweetheart?” he asked me respectfully before scrawling his autograph onto her tit. I smiled, knowing that my soulmate’s dick was MY dick.
“Girl, you are so lucky!” the girl with green hair told me right before we went out own separate ways. “Is he really eleven inches?”
I leaned in closer, as though I was going to tell her a secret.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t kiss and tell!” I smirked right before Peter whisked me off, proclaiming his hunger as we both made our way into the food court area.
“My love, can we go to Fairy Creek Meadow tonight once the kids are sound asleep?” I wondered as we both planted ourselves underneath a tree with our lunch. “I really need my teddy cock.”
“Sweetheart, are you sure?” he asked me quietly, taking a bite of his turkey leg. “It’s been almost seven weeks since your C-section.”
“Are you denying me my teddy cock?”
The tone of my voice made him visibly gulp before I pressed myself into his side needily.
“Please daddy?” I meeped timidly, stretching my neck upwards and kissing the underside of his manly jaw. “Please?”
“I’m not comfortable with us leaving the babies alone in such an exposed setting,” he confessed, setting a hand down onto my shoulder before pushing me back down again. “Down girl.”
“Well then, can I have my teddy cock when we get back home again?” I demanded impatiently. “Please?”
“Can it wait until tomorrow?” he compromised with a chortle, bless my temple with a whiskery kiss. “You’ll be tired, and I rather not rob you of any sacred sleep- you’ll be exhausted.”
I opened my mouth before shutting it once again- he did have a very good point. Due to the triplets unexpected birth, and sequential stay in the NICU for nine and a half weeks, the Ratajczyk family had missed out on the first seven of the eight weeks of the 2026 season at the New York Renaissance Faire.
“You win,” I grouched as my husband finished his third turkey leg before getting started on another. “Tomorrow then?”
“We’ll see sweetheart!” he frowned as me as I stood to buss our plates to the nearby trashcan. “I love you sweetheart, but sometimes, the sheer amount of sex you’re able to withstand is quite alarming.”
“What can I say? With a dick as big as the one that you were blessed with-” my eyes nipped down to his covered crotch as I licked at my lips. “It would be a fucking crime if the mere idea of your cock didn’t get me up and excited.”
“Well sweetheart, the mere memory of those sinful lips wrapped around your teddy cock gets me off every single fucking time,” he smirked, kissing the shell of my ear as an aroused moan slipped past my lips.
Immediately after he spoke, my disposable panties were sopping wet.
