Hi!! Loved your post about Oliver Quick being obsessed. How about Farleigh being obsessed with you 👁️👁️👁️

Dating Farleigh Start Would Be Like This...

A/N: Pffft his face here is a whole mood 😭 I got a similar request for Felix too, so he's next 🙃 Dating headcanons coming right up, with a side order of freaking obsessive, naturally:

⚜️• I don't know what to say about this guy that isn't already shown in the pic 😏 he's a cocky, rude, arrogant flirtatious player who takes every opportunity and advantage to use to his best. Once something's caught his attention, it'll play on his mind and he'll get to it in his own way, because that's the Farleigh Start we know and love.

⚜️• You'll meet him at Oxford, maybe hanging out around his friends with Felix and the rest, maybe not. I think he'd be very much drawn to someone who's not like the girls he sees always running after Felix or trying to make him jealous when they don't have his attention. You be you, and when he uses a very bold and seemingly smooth line on you, give him a look of amusement and slight confusion, and he'll be stunned that you didn't fall all over him for his charms like he's used to.

⚜️• Farleigh just watches you leave for a solid minute in bewilderment and intrigue because the guy got kicked out of every school because of how he is, but apparently, you're not that easy? This is new...?

⚜️• Don't think Farleigh's just some rich prick playboy who has to pick on the smarter kids to stay in college though, because he's surprisingly smart, which wouldn't be a first guess based on the way he acts around people and mocks anyone who isn't anywhere in his circle of friends and social class with Felix. If you saw him reviewing essays and stuff with Oliver and the teacher near the beginning of the movie, you can see he knows his terminology and how to study to get good enough grades in class. The only reason he kept getting kicked out of schools was for messing around with the teachers. It's not like Farleigh's stupid, not at all, but there's no way he's going to work harder than he has to... which isn't that hard at all.

⚜️• So when he saunters over to you yet again with his familiar arrogant smirk and charm, offering you a drink while his eyes unsubtly trail up and down your figure in intrigue, and you smile in amusement and casually turn him down... 😑😐 (his face) and then realises that okay, he might have to work harder than he usually does, because there's something about you that's made him curious, Farleigh has to rethink for a second before trying to get you to tag along with him and his friends more often.

⚜️• If Felix doesn't ask you over to Saltburn for the holidays, Farligh will nag at him to do it, with seemingly no other reason than "you're hot" and "why not have a new face?" and whatever else he thinks up on the spot that's half earnest and true, and also because a big manor out in the country with private gardens is just the perfect place to take this person he's been mildly obsessing over for the past while to draw them in... Felix, say yes now, because boy won't take no for an answer.

⚜️• During the course of your stay and hanging out around Farleigh, you'll come to realise that he's actually not a total jackass and snob that fools around with any girl he thinks is hot enough. His ties with the Cattons are pretty fragile and complex, and there's a lot more to him than he'll ever really show. There's a lot of pressure in fitting in and matching Saltburn's aesthetic and definition, but if you're someone who's not completely used to all the wealth and standards and makes him feel more relaxed and accepted without a facade everyone seems to wear, you'll see more and more of what makes Farleigh, Farleigh.

⚜️• So well done to him for discovering that there's more to an aspiring relationship than just the sex and passion, there's communication and actually getting to know each other too 👏

⚜️• As you get properly closer, you'll see that the dude gets ridiculously jealous when any other guy or girl shows an interest in you that goes past platonic in his eyes. He's started arguments and fights before about lesser things, so don't think he won't tense up and his eyes won't narrow into an annoyed glare at whoever it is that's taking up too much of your time. Farleigh will probably finish it off by humiliating them in some way, smirking in amusement from his seat as he watches his efforts pay off, and shrug with a faux innocent look when you call him out on it.

⚜️• If Oliver Quick happens to be Felix's guest at Saltburn too, Farleigh's jealousy levels and possessiveness will spike too, along with a hint of protectiveness. Since he basically thought right from the beginning that there was something weird about Oliver - maybe not to the realistic point that's revealed, but enough to not have one friendly or lighthearted word for him - Oliver going to you for friendship or most likely something more will only motivate Farleigh to exclude him as much as he can from the rest of the group.

⚜️• I feel like Farleigh would grow to quickly love what it means to be in a committed and official relationship, when before he turned his nose up at the idea of being restrained to only one person instead of a fling, and not having to worry about telling each other things that go too deep. It seems to all come naturally with you, and he loves it; being a loud and gleefully obnoxious supporter when you're doing whatever club or sport or anything at all with half a crowd watching from the sidelines. Proud, smug boyfriend right in the front row taking an unnecessary amount of photos to put up on a wall in his room.

⚜️• Farleigh makes simping look good. 😎

⚜️• He'll take advantage of the money he gets to buy you as expensive things as he can get, smirking proudly when he remembers you talking about something you like to get you. Farleigh can absolutely be romantic if he tries, mostly when you're alone and he makes sure he's the first one to tell you he loves you, it'll be surprisingly heartfelt and sweet and vulnerable, and then you've officially, one hundred per cent, seen Farleigh Start for everything he really is, which isn't all bad at all.

⚜️• Big-time pda, and if you're not into that, tell him now, right now, because he's fairly shameless and won't think twice before showing off to his friends by making out with you at uncalled moments, or being more subtle and sweet by having his arm naturally around your shoulders when you're watching a movie or at some social event. Big handholder as well; walking to and from class, alone, in public, doesn't make a difference to him.

⚜️• His jealousy factors into his affection outside sometimes, not that he doesn't trust you, but Farleigh definitely isn't the only player around, and when you're at Saltburn with Felix, he might find himself being frustratedly insecure that you'll be drawn to him because... well, it's Felix, and everyone loves Felix. So when you show that you're not interested at all and it's Farleigh you're dating, duh, he'll chill out a bit after being clingy for a day or two.

⚜️• I will say that even though I don't write smut, it's gotta be obvious that you'll have more than enough going on behind closed doors, because it's Farleigh, and he likes you a lot, so... yeah, brace yourself 😏

⚜️• All I'm gonna say, though, is watch out for Oliver Quick, who's most likely watching it all with that familiar longing and envy of having such a close and strong relationship with someone beautiful and unique, who seems to fit in with the rest of the family just by being you. He's going to. want it, really want it, and whether he gets it or not is a matter of luck and dark fate.

i have endless stores of self-pity.

i feel less awful than before.

you're allowed to lose it now and again.

i don't mean to be horrible.

you can't adopt someone's pain to dilute your own.

stop being smart with me.

you'll give me a heart attack one day.

you're pushy.

life has a way of revealing the truth to you before it occurs.

how come you haven't said anything?

i wish you'd take things more seriously.

i wish i knew when i was going to die. then i could be ready for it.

i'm relieving you of your conscience, alright?

i don't want to write about it. i don't owe that to anyone.

nobody has seen your face in half a year.

i had a strange dream in the night. you were in it.

you probably won't remember most of it.

you need to look out for yourself. nobody else will.

can you stay in my room tonight? i don't want to be alone.

there's no point in being secretive.

you can't shut everyone out. one day they won't bother.

i don't think i'm really in myself.

you don't have to say anything if you don't want to.

i wanted you to love me the same way i love you.

do you believe in god?

what can you not tolerate in others?

what is the quality you least like about yourself?

i love my parents, but i've never understood them.

this is the most alone i've ever felt.

i have to find something to wear.

hospitals manage despair, not disease.

it helps if you're stoned. only, don't do that.

i don't want to leave you if you're so unhappy.

watch the road, not me.

do you visit cemeteries often?

female comradeship is its own religion.

don't pull that sad, serious look you do.

i'm running out of ways to procrastinate.

i could like anything about you.

i wonder if you'll ever hate me.

life is too long and too brief.

i was always going to come home again.

you don't look like you.

you'll get back to feeling like your old self. just let it happen.

i don't even know what it means anymore. to 'be myself'.

i know who you are. i just can't believe it.

i'm not going to make this easy.

nothing is ever as sinister as you think.

i can tell something's not right.

we'll move at your pace.

i miss who i was. i don't feel like the same person anymore.

a life can end and not be over.

A Modest Proposal

A French Chateau, Francesim

Hortense: Oliver....why are we here? Oliver: I figured...everytime we drive past here, you always mention how beautiful this home is so I figured, let's walk through. Hortense: Does the owner know we're here? Oliver [joking]: No my love, I figured we could trespass onto the- Hortense: Mon prince. Oliver: I jest Moa Gaol, the owner knows we're here. I'm pretty sure I'm aware of where we are.

Hortense: Well, I'm glad we aren't trespassing- Mon prince...you did not buy- Oliver: I did...and I can't return it now- Hortense: Oliver this is expensive! It is near an imperial estate, its huge...I am not- Oliver: You are worth it my love. I will not have you complete that statement. Hortense: How did you...Mon prince you have rendered me speechless!

Oliver: I have a small salary as an army officer and a coming of age gift from my Uncle David so it belongs to us privately, not The Crown. I figured, our family will stay here when we wish to visit your Mama or your brother. It's somewhere where we won't have to be on top of Louis and Charlotte. Even your Mama can stay here while we aren't here if she wishes! I just...it'd be a good idea and- Hortense: Oli...this gift is too much! But I expect nothing less from you my love, so thank you.

Oliver: The inside of the home is pretty empty...I'm frankly horrendous at interior design and I figured I'd need your guiding hand. But I've been working on the gardens! It doesn't look all that great cause of the weather but I know in spring time it will be a wonderland of colors! Hortense: We have a whole lifetime to design our petit château. Oliver: I can almost hear little footsteps running around Hortense [teasing]: You are skipping ahead quite a bit [Oliver laughing] Oliver: I cannot help it! I can not wait for our life to start Hortense: Neither can I.

Oliver: Can you taste the freedom? Hortense: I can. It smells of thistles and pine and tastes of fresh shortbread Oliver: I am thankful it tastes like one of the few things I cook well Hortense [laughing]: Oliver...you cook better than my dear brother...he struggles to make toast. And that's pushing one button. Oliver: In his defense...getting toast golden brown takes trial and error! Hortense: We both told him to turn the dial to three...and he went to five cause he was impaitient.

Oliver [excitedly]: Speaking of impaitient...I can't wait for spring, the colors will be much more vibrant but I started by planting roses, daisies and some thistles....maybe we can bring in more plants and I had the pool installed so we can teach our children to swim. Maybe we can also plant a great oak so our children can have a treehouse! I also had the pavillion restored- Hortense [laughing]: A treehouse? Mon Dieu! We shall have the happiest times here.

Oliver: My love, a year ago I never thought I’d be in this moment. I thought that I would spend my semester at the polytechnic and then return home, maybe try simder [Hortense laughs]. Luckily I never had to make that account because I met you, and I thought I met an angel. All the time you helped my awful french…and didn’t laugh at me too much. We have been through a lot..and I know that we will stand together through everything that life is going to throw at us. I know we did not forsee waiting so long-

Hortense: Mon Prince…can I please say yes already? Oliver [laughing]: One last thing. I ask this with the blessing of your mother. Hortense Rose Simparte, will you do me the greatest honor and become my wife? Hortense: Yes! Yes!

Oliver: Oh, thank God… Hortense: You know I was never going to say no… Oliver: The doubting voice inside thought you would. It has now been quieted. Hortense: Mon Prince…the ring Oliver: Oh, yes!

Oliver: The ruby is from my Grandmother’s wedding gifts, the diamonds were a gift from the French people to another ancestor of mine, and the gold comes from my Uncle David, who convinced my father to have me go to the polytechnic. Hortense:I didn’t know that! The three countries that brought us together, in one ring! Oliver: A bit poetic Hortense: And awfully romantic. Oliver: It is what you deserve my love. I love you. Hortense: And I love you.

with all the long haired Barry pics my brain made up a silly arranged marriage au that won't leave me :-)

Oliver sees the big Catton campaign of the search for a partner for Felix. He sends in an application and receives the answer during a class break

His parents read the invite and believe that Oliver managed to find his one true love (they don't know it's part of a contest) and they go out and buy him a dress (quite outdated looking) and drive him to Saltburn

Oh and Oliver is still wearing his glasses because I think it could be cute😤

There he sees all the other contests and he thinks he looks ugly + his parents are talking with Elspeth and James and about to find out the truth so he runs away to the gardens

He meets Venetia outside and she compliments him and his dress and offers him one of her necklaces

His parents end up leaving albeit sad

Elspeth says he's not that ugly and has good hips to carry babies lol

Duncan shows all the contestants to their rooms and Oliver still gets the bedroom closest to Felix's

And Felix is a flirty tease but Oliver keeps denying him because "it wouldn't be proper"

Breeding kink😊

Haven't fully planned how to justify the pregnancy but maybe alpha omega or something

Olive's baby-sitter

Chap 3 " movie night"

“Fuck, fuck, fuck, hurry up!!” You think. As soon as you get out of the store, you drive as fast as you can back to high school to give Tia her bike back.

You almost fall off the bike when you get there, out of breath you give Tia her keys back. You pause for a few seconds to catch your breath and say "Thanks Tia... I have to go... otherwise I'll be late". And just as quickly you ran off to get Olive.

Dwayne watches the whole scene from a distance thinking "what the f- is going on". It's the first time he, Tia, and Soph have seen you do so much sport.

You arrive at Olive's elementary school, almost passing out.

When you get home, you let Olive have her snack and you take the opportunity to put Dwayne's gift on his desk.

Then you go to Olive’s room and suggest you watch her favorite DVD, a beauty contest from last year. This is your strategy, not brave, to avoid seeing Dwayne and be completely embarrassed when he will find your gift.

When you hear the front door open your heart stops for a moment. You think you're going to die of stress but suddenly the phone rings and you hear Richard answer, your soul returns to your body.

"Can we go to the garden? I want to show you my new moves!" Olive asks and you immediately agree, you won't survive this fear a second time and in the garden, you won't hear anything.

As usual, as soon as Dwayne gets home, he goes straight to his room. He stops when he sees something on his desk; "American Idiot" by Green Day with a little note: "I thought you might like it. Thanks again for everything :)". His cheeks turn instantly red, and he can hear his heart pounding in his ears. You don't know it but he has a crush on you, it was almost love at first sight. Dwayne decided to ignore his feelings until they fades but it's been getting harder and harder to hide them. He sees the boys in high school talking about you, and Grandpa's questions. All of this makes him jealous and scared... He has decided to be nicer to you, he doesn't know yet where it will lead him but it’s worth taking the risk even if he is convinced that you will never see him as more than a friend.

When you walk back down the hallway with Olive, you see Dwayne lying on his bed with his headphones on reading a book. You are relieved that he likes your gift but you dread the moment when you'll have to face him. In your eyes, this gift is almost a love confession but for Dwayne, who has friend zoned himself, you did it out of pure friendship.

You are drawn out of your thoughts when you hear Sheryl and Richard start to argue in their room. You leave Olive with Grandpa and go to start making dinner (you sometimes do this when Sheryl has had a tiring day). When you're done, you call everyone and you all start to eat in awkward silence. It is broken by Sheryl "You know your uncle Frank is in the hospital and well tomorrow he is coming to stay with us for a while. Dwayne, you will be sharing your room with him" she said in a tone that implied that he had no choice. You could see the anger rising in him as he began to write frantically on his notepad. "It's unfair! This is the only place I have to myself!".

"You don't have a choice Dwayne, he can't be left alone and your room is the only place where there is room. The discussion is over." You can feel the tension crushing you. Dwayne smashes the table as he gets up and storms off to his room.

You clear the table with the rest of the family still in silence. Sheryl and Richard start to argue again. You wait for a second and suggest to Sheryl that you take Olive home to watch a movie, to save her from the stress of seeing her parents yelling at each other. It's also for you, your parents have been fighting a lot since you were a little, and it gives you a lot of anxiety to hear Sheryl and Richard fighting now. She agrees so you go to Olive "Olive do you want to come to watch a movie at my house?" "Oh yes! I'll get to see your house!". "Get ready then, and take a jacket it's cold at night."

You think for a second and wonder if what you are about to do is a good idea. You knock softly on Dwayne's door before going inside. "Dwayne, I- I don't know if this is the right time, b-but Olive and I are going to watch a movie at my house since my parents aren't here. Do.. you.. want to come?" You're having a hard time talking under the shyness. With a slight nod, Dwayne agrees and then stands up.

On the way you hardly speak, you are so shy after giving him this gift. Olive outranks you by a few feet. You think this is the best time to talk to Dwayne about your day. "I hope the CD made you happy. I wanted to give it to you and I hope I chose the right one. Hum, I...I noticed that your behavior towards me has changed, and even tho I don't really understand why it makes me happy." You say, looking down at your feet to hide your completely red face. You look over and see Dwayne writing. Your stress is at its peak. Without a word he hands you his notepad, "I'm glad it makes you happy. "

You're pleased, and you're getting pretty confident, "I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but I'd like to think that you don't hate me as much as the rest of the world." You say with a laugh. Without realizing it you arrived in front of your house. You open the door and Olive, bursting with joy, says "Can you show us your room? I really want to see it! "Sure," you reply with a big smile. Your room isn't very big, posters cover your walls, and your impressive comic book collection surprises Dwayne. "Is that your makeup?" Olive comes to you with a box.

"Oh yeah, I haven't worn it in a while" That's right, since you got to high school you stopped wearing it. "If you want it, you can have it."

"Really?" She asks, with stars in her eyes.

"Really." you laugh. You know it makes her happy. She’s always wanted some since she started watching beauty pageants. "Will your parents agree?" you ask Dwayne. In response, he shrugs his shoulders as if to say "I don't know". After Olive is done looking at every corner of your room you three go downstairs to the living room "What do you want to watch?" you ask as you take out the DVDs. Olive has the last word and chooses Finding Nemo.

While Dwayne puts on the movie you go and make some popcorn. The three of you sit on the couch, Olive on the right, Dwayne in the middle, and you on the left. You put the popcorn on the coffee table and start the movie. You can barely concentrate on the movie because you are so nervous about sitting so close to Dwayne. Your couch isn't very big, so your shoulders are touching. About one hour through the movie you start to fall asleep after all you have a very, very tiring day. Without realizing it, your eyes close and your head falls on Dwayne's shoulder, startling him. Now he's the one who can't concentrate on the movie. You are sleeping on his shoulder and he is so happy. Not wanting to wake you up he doesn't move at all, he hardly breathes just in case.

At the end of the movie, he gently wakes you up. He shows you a note written in advance "The movie is over, we have to go before it's too late. Thanks for the evening, it really cheered me up. We can do this again someday if you want to.” You don't know it but he thought for 10 minutes before writing this. Half awake you answer "I do".

"See you tomorrow. Good night you two." You give Olive a hug and Dwayne a fist bump. As the door closes behind them you smack your forehead, "A fist bump, you dumbass! Oh my god, this is so embarrassing !!!"

Redrew some old Ocs!

They're from a story that I started to write when I was 14. :)

(Which is actually 2 stories that I made into only one, the first being "Edgar Mouret (2014-15)" the life of a 27 year old schizophrenic gravedigger and "Flowers of a Blood Garden (2016-17)", a story told by a serial killer who thinks that he should kill everyone he loves).

It got a lot of changes as the years passed, creating "The Gentleman of the East End", which kept the whole serial killer thing, but instead of his loved ones now he kills prostitutes to write their stories as crime novels + Edgar's story that would show the sadness of living with a mental illness so painful as schizophrenia in a time that didn't have all the advancements needed to fully treat it.

And as I never really did a lot with it I was thinking about changing the plot again.

Now it's technically a Victorian Era sitcom (and I won't actually make it accurate, me and my sister were joking about Violetta liking Britney Spears skjadh)

Here's a brief summary of the "start" of the story:

"Vinicio and Violetta are twins and they're from a wealthy family, the Bianchi, their father has a textile factory and wants Vinicio to be the heir to it, but wanting to become a writer he decides to run away and start living in a very poor part of London, where no one would find him.

One day he meets Emily and Oliver, who are orphans, the two found his house when running through the alleys near the docks, and after thinking it was abandoned, they decided to try and make that their new home. Vinicio finds them in the piano room, the children were already terrified by the thought of him kicking them out, but to their surprise, he just stares and declares that there's nothing there for them to steal, Oliver not wanting to be associated to a burglar is infuriated, but Emily, noticing that Vinicio means no harm, tries to explain why they entered his house uninvited.

After hearing their story and noticing how fragile they seemed, he leads the children to the kitchen, where he prepares a simple soup for them. Emily and Oliver do notice that his plates and silverware are really pretty and expensive looking, and both of them start speculating that he's a rich man in disguise, keeping this thought to themselves they just ask for his name.

"Leonard", he says, and nothing more. The girl could tell he was a very cold man, but more than anything, a little shy.

After finishing their lunch, they're ready to leave the house, Emily's last wish, however, is to hear the man playing the piano, Vinicio asks her what song she wanted to hear, she is reminded of when her mother used to sing for them to sleep, not knowing the name of the song, she decides to sing for the man.

As she sings the first notes, his eyes close, and sooner than expected he calls the children to the room they once were. Vinicio sits on the stool and prepares himself, playing Chopin's Nocturne opus 9, number 2. He plays with emotion, which makes the children wonder what was in his mind, this is intensified by his silence when finishing the song.

Emily thanks him, saying that if their mother was there she would have loved listening to it, and then the children decide to leave. Vinicio stops them, telling the name of the song, so that they can ask for it when they return. Both of them are surprised by what they hear, asking happily "We can return"?!, to which Vinicio confirms that yes, they can return to his house, but they need to knock before entering and don't abuse of his hospitality, he would feed them and let them sleep there, but mostly important, he would try to find a family for them, as children should not live by themselves in the streets like stray dogs. He also gives them some money, so they can go out and buy some fruits and maybe candy. They give him a big hug for his generosity, Vinicio doesn't really know how to react to this, receiving their affection with a somewhat tense body, but gives them a pat to the head, after that Emily and Oliver leave his house.

Now alone with his thoughts, the man sits in an armchair and a tad nervous, thinks about his decision, now he had some serious responsibilities, despite that, it was the right thing to do, after all, that's what Violetta would do if she was in his place".

Can we also get poly spider gang and mayor meeting fem y/ns persistent ex pls bur separate

Have a hood day :3

Y/N had quite the odd love life, at least by most people's standards. But predictability was so boring! If you couldn't date a Demon Queen, her subjects and a debatably human mayor, then what's the point? Right now Y/N was picking up some food for tonight's Dinner Date at Olive Garden. Surprisingly, the spider demons hadn't explored their food options much. Probably because they live in the sewers...and the Mayor probably didn't eat. As Y/N made her way home, a familiar figure detached itself from the wall on the other side of the street. Recognizing them, Y/N paused, glaring death at the person.

"Didn't I say we were done?"

"C'mon Y/N-"

"NO! I said I don't want to see you anymore, it's been two years and nothing's changed, especially you! So LEAVE ME ALONE!"

The person grabbed Y/N by the neck, slamming their head against a wall. The second her head hit the wall, the streetlights exploded. There was a blue glow behind them, and Y/N heard the sweet voice of a savior: "THE LADY SAID NO." The ex was yanked backwards into the darkness.

Y/N nearly hit the floor, but she felt another set of familiar arms wrap around her and begin lifting her up the wall. Looking up, the faint moonlight revealed that Syntax was holding her and bringing her to the rooftop. "Don't look, whatever you do."

Being rebellious, Y/N indeed did look to see the Mayor, eyes aglow, now to the side of the Spider Queen, who was holding the ex's head in her hands the rest of his body dangling. "If I ever see you layin' hands on my little princess again, you won't live another night."

Her clawed thumbs were poised over their eyes, but before she could plunge them down, Syntax used his hand to cover Y/N's eyes. Now on the roof, he glanced over his shoulder. Screams erupted from behind him, followed by truly horrific sounds. Whatever it was, it made Syntax's face drop. "We're going back to the sewers."

"But Syntax, what about the others?"

"They'll catch up."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the dining room (not really "room") of the sewer lair, Y/N was finally set down on a dining room chair.

"How did you guys know I was here?"

"We followed you."

"You what?"

"Did tonight not just prove it necessary?" He raised an eyebrow as he searched around, finally finding on of the spare med-kits hidden throughout the sewers (three spider demons led to a lot of stitches being needed at near all times). He dipped some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. When he next spoke, he was using what Y/N liked to call his Doctor Voice. "This is going to sting. Hold my hand and squeeze when it hurts."

Y/N held his hand, hissing in pain when the cotton ball touches a wound on her forehead from the ex. She squeezes Syntax's hand. "You've really got doctor hands, you know? Cold and clean."

"Part of working with the Injectors and observing their effects on various sentient beings means I perform actions similar to a surgeon, which does mean I do need very clean hands to maintain a sterile environment."

Unable to follow through the pain, Y/N only nodded. "Where are Huntsman and Goliath?"

"The last I saw of the two, Huntsman was chomping on your friend's arm and Goliath was making sure I have two fresh arm tissue samples." He set aside a bloodied cotton ball.

"O h...I've never seen them that angry before."

Syntax puts a bandage on the wound and kisses it. "Someday you will learn that we care about you very much. There! All better."

"Good to see you're looking better!"

The two jumped. The Mayor was ominously standing behind Syntax, somehow neither of them had noticed him.

"Mayor!" Y/N held out her arms and received a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Dear Y/N, thank goodness you are mostly unharmed! The others will be home soon enough, the Queen is coming ahead of the other two."

"Why're they taking longer?"

"Cleanup. Now then! Why don't we start on the wonderful dinner? Syntax, the dinnerware if you please."

The spooked spider only nodded and went to begin setting the table. Y/N looked down, surprised that the Olive Garden bag was unharmed in her hands. "Wow! The food made it!"

"You are a very lucky lady."

While the three began setting up the table, the Spider Queen came in. Immediately, she went over to Y/N and lifted her up. "My poor little princess, your head! Don't you worry, that little punk's getting exactly what he deserves." She went her to specially made seat at the head of the table, placing Y/N at the seat beside her. "My other boys will be along in just a moment, they're cleaning off."

Syntax sighed. "I will be a moment, I'd better make sure their clothes are properly cleaned, not just shoved in the washing machine.." Off he skittered on his spidery legs.

The Spider Queen began opening the take-out. "Breadsticks, soup-lookin' stuff, spaghetti...is that five boxes salad?"

"Yeah, I got a lot of stuff for you guys. I wasn't sure what everyone would want."

"Well it looks just wonderful!"

By the time everything was placed out, the other three spider demons had returned with Goliath and Huntsman both in pristine white robes (Huntsman didn't look too thrilled that his robe had fluffy cuffs and a fluffy collar). Goliath went over to give Y/N a near-crushing hug, and Huntsman only gave a quick hug before taking his seat.

"What took you guys so long?"

Huntsman was the one to answer. "Nothing you need to worry about."

"Why don't we cut the chatter about the horrible evening's events? We should eat, the food was gotten through a great trial from our dear Y/N!"

At the Mayor's word, quiet settled as everyone dug in. Though happy, Y/N couldn't help but notice the stains of red on the Spider Queen's thumb claws, and noticed the Mayor's smile was wider and a bit more unhinged than usual. Y/N wasn't sure she wanted to know what exactly happened, at least she was protected and loved by all of her lovers.

In the Line of Beauty: Thatcher-era gay guy settles in with a conservative MP, dates closeted guys

Amazon Prime has been pushing The Line of Beauty, a British drama about a poor boy who moves in with his ultra rich, ultra powerful classmate. The trailer shows him smooching with an old guy, so apparently he seduces the Dad. There are three parts, each an hour long, set in 1983, 1986, and 1987. I'll review the 1983 episode, "The Love Chord."

Scene 1: Closeup of a huge mansion in the ritzy Notting Hill section of London. Two guys arrive. "Is this where you live?" Nick Guest (Dan Stevens) asks, overwhelmed. Guest, har har. His classmate Toby (Oliver Coleman): "Well, where my parents live." Sounds like a Saltburn or Brideshead Revisited coming up.

Nick continues to gawk as Toby leads him through the house. An elderly lady with an Italian accent shows him his room: quite a let down, tiny, with awful wallpaper. Don't worry, you'll be in the master suite as soon as you seduce a few family members.

Scene 2: Dinner time. Dad (Tim McInnerny) has just been elected a Member of Parliament for the Conservative Party. In the homophobic 1980s! Their affair is going to cause quite a scandal.

Plot dump: Nick has graduated from Oxford with a First in English, and is now is working on his doctorate, researching Henry James. He has agreed to housesit all summer, while Mom and Dad are in France and Toby is traveling through Europe. Wait, I thought this would be a Nick-Toby romance, or at least Nick seducing Toby first on his way through the family. "Oh, we forgot to mention that you will be taking care of our mentally ill teenage daughter, Cat."

Cut to Toby shaving in a towel (nice physique!), giving Nick the deets. Cat used to cut herself, but she's on medication, and feeling better.

"Does she know...?" Nick asks. Sure, and she's fine with it. Say the Word, idjits! He gazes at Toby's butt. Not good enough -- say it!

Scene 3: Mom, Dad, the housekeeper, and Toby say goodbye and drive away. That night, Nick is reading a Henry James novel, when Cat appears in a bathrobe with booze and two glasses. She lights up a marijuana joint. I thought she knew? Maybe Girlfriend wants to snag herself some gay cock

"What's it like being gay?" she begins. "It seems perfectly normal to me."

Next question: "Have you shagged Toby?" No, he's straight. "But you fancy him." Of course not. Are we going to get an unrequited love plotline? Nick isn't dating anyone at present, so Cat decides to find him a guy.

Scene 4: Nick comes home to find Cat talking to an elderly working-class man, who keeps grinning and gazing lustfully at him. Ulp, not Nick's type! Psych: he's not a hookup, he's just visiting. She has actually been searching the personal ads (remember those?). "Black guy, late 20s, very good looking."

Nick calls to make a date with Black Guy, Late 20s, then rushes downstairs to tell Cat. But she's gone -- and one of the knives is missing from the kitchen! She's cut herself. But she was so happy before. He bandages her wound, then goes to her room and confiscates her knife collection.

Scene 5: As they walk in the garden, Nick asks if Cat knows what causes the urge to cut herself, or if she can tell when it's coming. She doesn't get any advance warning: her mood has nothing to do with it. Suddenly everything suddenly goes "black and glittering," and she has to stop living. He wants to call the parents, but she assures him that it won't happen again. If she has no control over it, how can she promise that?

Cut to evening. Cat doesn't want to go back to her room, so she sleeps on the couch, while Nick plays the piano. Hey, she's trying to sleep!

Scene 6: Nick rushes to an outdoor restaurant for his date with Leo (Don Gilet), the personal ad guy. It's rather awkward. Leo looks for an excuse to dismiss Nick as racist, is disappointed to discover that he isn't rich, and is annoyed when he misunderstands "Let's get going." Neither has a place, so they end up kissing and doing anal in the private garden. Nick is the top. A little of Leo's butt is shown.

Scene 7: Mom and Dad return from France with gifts of foie gras and perfume. Nick and Cat agree that everything was brilliant, so they suggest that he stay on as Cat's attendant. Shouldn't he have training in mental illness, crisis intervention. and such? Of course he can still work on his degree, and he can bring friends over. But can we screw in my bedroom?

Scene 8: They visit Hawkeswood, Mom's brother's estate, which is loaded-down with French impressionist art. Uncle is impressed by Nick's knowledge of 18th century furniture.

Uncle says "Come with me -- I want to show you something," and the whole family flashes salacious grins. This must be the old guy that Nick is snogging in the trailer.

Psych! He doesn't want to show Nick his dick: he has some photos from Henry James' visit to the manor in 1903.

They discuss the guest list. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher can't make it, but a lot of Conservative MPs and the Home Secretary will be there. Ugh! Everyone hates him.

The full review, with NSFW photos, is on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends

I've been in California for just over a month now, so here's list of all the things I love about America:

The people are very polite and eager to help

Designing a town in a grid system and dividing each avenue into numbers and letters makes sense for figuring out where everything is. As does the freeway having the exits divided into avenues and each one is a mile apart so you know when your exit is (its logical)

Plus sized manquins in clothing stores (body diversity win)

Aircon in the house (I will never go back to using an electric fan again)

Watching the sunrise over the desert

Travel sized books (genius!)

International food is so much easier to find (I finally understand why so many cooking channels are like "just go to your local asain market")

Fandom merch is also so much easier to find. There were so many shops in this one mall that were all deidcated to anime. Even stuff I didn't think would get much attention has at least a T-shirt. Hocus Pocus stuff was everywhere! Who even remembers that movie???

The food - Real mexican food, deli meat sandwiches, olive garden breadsticks, pumpkin spiced everything, so many different types of cereal

Thin duvets that I can snuggle up in on the sofa :3

And for balance here is a list of things I miss about the UK

Pepsi Max Cherry (California only has regular and diet)

Good chocolate (the Halloween candy I gave out was bad and those kids deserved better)

The standard of driving

Pavements (streets in America just randomly stop existing and it's not wheelchair friendly. Where am I suppose to walk???)

Public transport/the ability to just walk to where I need to be

The price on the tag is the price you pay (Hidden fees can die in a fire)

The ability to communicate with just a look (British people don't like talking ok.)

Green grass and rain and hills and winding roads.

The DVLA (The DMV can suck my dick. They wanted me to come back, to show them some paperwork that was missing from my first visit. Not post it, or email them a copy. They wanted me to go through the whole queue process AGAIN just so I can hold up a smog certificate to this miserable employee. Why do you hate modern technology? Just put everything online???)

Car dealerships (I'm not lying when I say California traumatized me. They stand outside the building like vultures, they won't let you wander around the lot at your own leisure, they ask too many questions, even when you tell them what you want they still want to show you other cars, they won't shut up about how much they care about you and getting you the right vehicle (stop lying to my face you creep), the guy showing you the car can't sell the car so you meet his manager who also wants to have a chat with you, and they're just creepy. They're not even trying to be professional. They're just creepy with their creepy ass smiles as they walk you to your car)

Now I see Daylight

This is gonna be a super blunt summary, so here we go... This is a companion piece written for chapter 11: I'll tell you the Truth, but Never Goodbye of Like a Red Rose Blooms in the Oxford Garden (GOS for short). Si, La Trinidad el amor also provides additional context about the Gastina wedding- So, this is the story of what happened after Gastón and Nina's wedding. After Luna and Matteo's speeches revealed a lot of additional secrets about their relationship, James, Oliver, Jacob, Ariana and Marlee obviously had some additional questions

After the cake was cut and the attention was off them for a moment, Gastón dragged Nina—No, his wife—away from the crowd. As he got them to a little more private corner, he pulled her against him tightly and kissed her.

“I love you.”

“I love you too,” Nina responded as they faces came apart, just a little bit, noses still touching. Gastón was sure he could see stars on her eyes. God, she was beautiful. He totally now understood the sentiment about not seeing the wedding dress before the wedding. He wasn’t so sure how many words he would have gotten out during the ceremony if he had noticed the open back then. “Is the public portion over now?”

“You need to still throw those flowers,” Gastón chuckled and brushed a couple of strands of hair, that had fallen on her face, behind her right ear. “But I may be counting down the time, for us to get out of here, so it can finally just be two of us.”

He started to lean closer to her again…

“STOP!” Jazmin had appeared out of thin air next to them and was inspecting Nina’s hair. “We’ll need to fix that.”

“But…” Gastón wasn’t able to get a word in before Jazmin was already dragging Nina away and calling for Luna.

“Great.” He huffed, shaking his head.

“Enjoying the quiet?” Matteo had suddenly appeared next him.

“I would,” Gastón turned to look at him, “but Jazmin just stole my wife.”

“Well, that’s how she is,” Matteo laughed, “You know, it's extremely weird to hear you say that you have a wife.”

“Well, I do,” Gastón smiled, “I have a wife.”

“Honestly, well done,” Matteo patted him on the back, “Now let's see the bling. First time I see you supporting some jewelry.”

“Oh, this?” Gastón raised his left hand into view and flexed his fingers for a moment. The ring definitely still felt just a tad bit odd, but he surely would get used to it. He had to say, he liked the look of it.

“Gotta say that it suits you.” Matteo grinned. He was a person who wore some jewelry on occasion, like he often wore his dad’s former wedding ring on his right hand in formal events.

“Hey, finally been able to catch you,” Simon joined Matteo and Gastón, “Congratulations! Welcome to the club. I won't be lonely anymore.” He was spinning his own wedding band around.

“Thank you,” Gastón nodded, “Does it stop feeling weird at some point?”

“You don’t want to take it off soon, nor will there be a reason you should,” Simon explained, “Except while doing the dishes, because it’ll fall off and Ambar gets mad at me. I don’t know why. It happens to everybody.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.” Gastón nodded.

“Great speech, Matteo.” Simón continued, “I’m glad that you were not my best man.”

“Not like I was given much choice on the topic either,” Gastón laughed.

“Hey!” Matteo grumbled, “I poured my heart out! You got what you signed up for.”

“I know,” Gastón patted Matteo on the back, “I’m already looking forward to returning the favor.”

Gastón turned around to see if Jazmin had maybe released Nina already, when he was met with three more pairs of eyes staring at him.

“Okay, so, we have some questions.” Oliver, James, and Jacob had apparently decided to join the little gathering.

“I knew this was gonna happen,” Gastón sighed. Obviously, Luna’s and Matteo’s speeches had revealed lot of details that he and Nina hadn’t had the time to tell all of their Oxford friends.

“A blindfold?”

“You were in love with a screen?” James was staring at him, “At this point we probably should think ourselves lucky that you told us your real name.”

“Hey, look,” Gastón started and reached to grab Matteo by the arm, “I know this revealed maybe couple of details that we hadn’t mentioned before.”

“Couple?” Jacob rolled his eyes, “How about a thousand? Marlee and Ariana told us that one of the other bridesmaids is your ex.”

When had the girls had the time to talk about that? Gastón had a hard time keeping up. Anything could happen in the bridal suite. “Delfi and I had an extremely brief thing before I ever dated Nina. How Ariana and Marlee found that out is beyond me.”

“I purposefully omitted that from the speech.” Matteo piped up.

“We have more questions.”

“I know,” Gastón sighed, “Okay, here’s what we’ll do. I will not be answering anything right now, as it is my wedding and what I say goes. Matteo—” He turned toward Matteo. “—you and Luna have my full permission to tell every secret ever about our early relationship, when were gone on our honeymoon.”

“Way to put me on the spot.”

“We’re holding you to that,” Oliver nodded, “When can we meet up before we go?”

“You can do that in our house,” Simon suddenly piped up, “Cause I wanna hear this.”

***

“Nice place you got here.” Everyone was looking around on Ambar and Simon’s living room after they had let them in.

Ambar had agreed with Simon, that watching Luna and Matteo being grilled about all the details by Gastón and Nina’s Oxford friends would be extremely entertaining, so of course they could do it at theirs. Plus, there was no way they would fit into Luna and Matteo’s apartment.

“Isla helped us,” Ambar explained, “We thought it was the easiest to just get a house that had the potential of being our home forever, before we got married.”

“She was Gastón’s mom, correct?” Ariana asked as they sat on the couches.

“One of the most formidable people in the real estate market in the country and beyond,” Ambar nodded.

“Marco isn’t that different,” Matteo added.

“We know him over six years, and never knew about the millionaire part,” Ariana shook her head. “We clearly know nothing.”

“That’s why we’re here,” James shook his head, “Cause, apparently you know the answers.” He looked at Luna and Matteo.

“Oh yeah, I think we do,” Matteo nodded, “We were there.”

“Sí, todo fue tan loco, no puedo esperar a que lo escuches…” Luna started excitedly but stopped as she was faced by many confused faces.

“Luna, they don’t speak Spanish.”

“Oh, right, sorry.” Luna corrected, and started speaking in very accented English, “I am not gonna be good.”

“I can translate,” Matteo placed his hand on her knee. “Anyways, balls in your court. What do you wanna know?”

“Where do we start?” James was the first to speak, “What’s with the internet handle thing?”

“That’s actually a very good point to start,” Matteo nodded. “It’s a very long story if we start talking about the whole Felicity For Now debacle. Luna, you need to start it. Just speak a sentence at a time, so I can translate it.”

“Well, it started when we were sophomores at Blake,” Luna started, “I had actually just moved here, and met Nina when all a sudden there was this new blog that everyone liked. Nina didn’t tell me at first, so I thought she was texting to some guy when I caught her writing once. Obviously, she wasn’t… at the time. I was the first to know that she was actually the one behind that blog.”

“The blog was called Felicity For Now,” Matteo took over, “And it kind of blew up really fast, at least in our circles. I don’t know how honestly it happened, but Gastón just really like what she did, and they started like chatting. After a while he already started saying that “he felt like he knew her” and that “there was a connection”. You know, when I am repeating these now, it feels so crazy.”

“So, he literally was in love with an internet handle?” Jacob frowned his eyebrows, “Really?”

“Yes,” Matteo nodded, “It gets better from here, trust me.”

“Wait, but if they were only chatting online… How did Gastón ask Nina out, because both of you mentioned in the speeches how Nina stood him up.” Marlee asked next.

“He didn’t ask Nina out, he asked Felicity.” Matteo answered, “Because she didn’t know who he was either… Luna, you need to take over from here.”

“Okay,” Luna laughed, “Well, Nina agreed to go on that date with the so called “Roller Track”, but then she found out it was Gastón and ran away. Because you know, she had always had a crush on him, and he couldn’t possibly like her.”

“This is where the madness really starts,” Matteo started laughing, “Gastón can be extremely stubborn.”

“Yeah, we know.” James leaned back.

“There was some other madness that happened in between, but then they agreed to meet via video.” Matteo put himself back together, “And the girls thought that it would be a good idea to dress Nina up on a wig, honestly, I have no idea how we did not recognize her.”

“And then during the call, I accidentally appeared on the screen,” Luna explained laughing.

“It gets more complicated from here,” Matteo sighed, “But the other part of this story is that while Gastón had been obsessing over his invisible internet girl, he was also literally in love with Nina. I’m not even sure how it really happened, but like they are some sort of soulmates so who knows, but he quickly realized that as well. He was in love with her twice but didn’t realize it.”

“What was with the blindfold?”

“Well, that you need to ask from Gastón,” Matteo admitted, “Neither of us were there, so we can’t really tell what happened. The ring thing on the other hand,” Matteo tried to keep himself from laughing too hard, “You see, during that video call that Luna so rudely interrupted, Nina was wearing a ring that Gastón later for some reason remembered. So, when the desperation strikes twelve, you go check every girl’s hand at school… Including Nina’s, but she wasn’t wearing the ring at the time.”

“What?” Everyone’s faces were absolutely priceless.

“You know, we were only 17-year-olds. The person you know as the almost Oxford valedictorian was pretty stupid once upon a time.” Matteo started to laugh, “Anyways, the bottom line of this is that Gastón was in love with Nina twice and would have gone crazy if she hadn’t finally revealed herself as the mysterious Felicity.”

“So, they just got together after that?”

“Not exactly,” Ambar piped up suddenly. “And that’s my fault. We don’t know each other that well, so I don’t know how much you know about our team.”

“Only that there was a lot of drama,” Ariana answered.

“That would be correct,” Ambar continued, “I used to be a quite of a mean girl… When Nina told everyone that she was Felicity, I decided to sabotage her and Gastón. It was something about her taking my popularity and something…like I said, I was awful. I guess a small part of me was kind of wanting to help Gastón, we have known each other for a really long time. So, in some misguided way I thought he deserved better… Anyways, I was completely wrong and it didn’t work. Anything I tried to sabotage, never worked. The things about the drama are very right.”

“I’m pretty sure you could make a tv-show about our skating shenanigans.” Simon laughed.

“Anyways, that’s more or less how they actually got together,” Matteo nodded, “So if you thought it was super generic high school relationship that Gastón wasn’t able to let go off, it wasn’t exactly like that. Any more questions?”

“What’s the thing with him and his ex?” Oliver asked next, “I mean, you can’t just drop that. Her name was Delfi right?”

“Ambar, you probably know about this?” Matteo turned toward Ambar.

“Well, I can enlighten it somewhat.” Ambar threw Matteo sharp dagger eyes, “Delfi is one of my best friends since forever. Honestly, I have no idea where it came from, but right before the summer, she just started having this head-over-heels crush on Gastón. He obviously was oblivious and had zero interest, but Delfi didn’t want to believe it.”

“Not completely oblivious,” Matteo piped up, “that’s why he didn’t want to skate with her, until she convinced him. There is nothing really to it after that, they dated very briefly because she kind of tricked him. What made her so determined on that, beyond me.”

“Well, it actually was because of Flor.” Ambar stated.

“Me?” Flor looked very shocked for a second.

“Well, cuz, it’s actually quite simple,” Matteo laughed, “Gastón had a crush on you, Delfi had a crush on Gastón, he paid attention to you, she got angry. Easy math, which led Delfi to actually catfish Gastón.”

“Oh my god, I did not know that.”

“Okay, should I start to be worried about something?” Oliver, who had been holding Flor’s hand, asked.

“No, what do you mean?”

“You got yourself into this mess now, Oliver,” James laughed.

“Anyways,” Ambar started speaking again, “Something I am interested in is that, you didn’t know anything about their past when Nina came there?”

“No,” Everyone shook their heads.

“I mean, I was there when they “met”,” Marlee started, “You think I should have known that something was up. There was some staring going on, but they had just bumped into each other. Then they really didn’t say anything, outside of saying couple sentences in Spanish, which I thought, as a very smart Oxford student, was just some introductions. Then Gastón just said that he had class and left.”

“He was totally out of it during that class,” James continued, “I should have picked up on something, but I didn’t know what had happened.”

“We all should have taken those Spanish classes.”

“So, what do you think would have happened, if you knew who Nina was?”

“No idea,” Ariana shook her head, “Because like, our agenda for the longest time was to have him move on… Yeah, it would have been awkward.”

“We always wanted him to put himself back out there,” Oliver continued, “but in the end, he refused the mere idea of it. Nina seemed like the perfect person to get him back on track. Similar interests and Argentinians so he couldn’t use any form of language barrier excuse.”

“And they seemed to get along quite well from the beginning,” Jacob pointed out, “There was definitely something there.”

“Obviously now we know why,” James shook his head, “I also don’t know if we would have encouraged him to get involved with her again, if we had known, or tried to get him to move on even harder. I’m not even sure if they were ever going to tell us if I hadn’t found those photos.”

“It’s even debatable if they were even going to tell us that they were together if we hadn’t confronted them.”

“Oh, how did that happen?” Luna piped up, “I don’t really remember if Nina told me or not.”

“When literature major wants to take a physics course, you tell them no and to quit the course,” James started speaking, “You don’t start helping them. Gastón wasn’t doing that for just brownie points.”

“And then we went away for Easter and when we came back it was pretty obvious that they were sleeping together.”

“We should have been in contact back then,” Matteo blew air out of his mouth, “I could have told you to just lock them in a closet somewhere for an hour.”

“All’s well, that’s ends well.”

{}

So, this has been just a funny idea I have been thinking about since there was no way Gastón and Nina ever fully detailed how they first started dating at Blake to their Oxford Friends, because that would be a long story. So the first time they hear about the all Felicity shenanigans is during Luna's and Matteo's speeches at Gastón and Nina's wedding. I just decided to write this so it could be released with the chapter where they found out about Nina being the "ex" in the first place. I didn't put that much effort or love into this, so that's why it may seem little all over the place.

Hide and Seek Bug Hunter

"It's like a game of hide and seek, they count to ten and look for me but it's been several hours, I'm still crouched behind the couch and think/That I'm the piece they'd rather lose, the seed you plant that never blooms./A new kid much too nervous to stand up, step out or leave his room. The childhood I had/An outsider in my head/Again and again. 'Class we have a new student/He's a little withdrawn/He just moved here from Texas or Nashville or Mars./He'll be gone before long/So he's not worth the trouble/He's a novelty when/All the cliques are connected/The ephemeral friend.'"

Halloween Noah Kahan

"But the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in/And the bridges have long since been burned/And the ash of the home that I started the fire in/It starts to return to the Earth./I'm leavin' this town and I'm changin' my address./I know that you'll come if you want./It's not Halloween, but the ghost you're dressed up as/Sure knows how to haunt, yeah, you know how to haunt."

I Will Follow You into the Dark Death Cab for Cutie

everything i wanted Billie Eilish

Paradise Coldplay

"When she was just a girl she expected the world/But it flew away from her reach /And the bullets catch in her teeth./Life goes on, it gets so heavy/The wheel breaks the butterfly /Every tear a waterfall./In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes./In the night the stormy night away she'd fly."

Older Than I Am Lennon Stella

Day After Tomorrow Phoebe Bridgers

I need to hear you say you've been waitin' all night./There's orange dancing in your eyes from bulb light./Your voice only trembles when you try to speak ./Take me back to us dancing, this wood used to creak."

Cowboys and Angels Dustin Lynch

You Found Me The Fray

"I found God on the corner of First and Amistad/Where the west was all but won/All alone, smoking his last cigarette./I said, 'Where you been?'/He said, 'Ask anything'//Where were you when everything was fallin' apart?/All my days were spent by the telephone/That never rang and all I needed was a call/That never came to the corner of First and Amistad."

Fix You Coldplay

North Sleeping At Last

"With each year, our color fades./Slowly, our paint chips away./But we will find the strength/And the nerve it takes/To repaint and repaint and repaint every day.// Let the years we’re here be kind, be kind./Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide./Settle our bones like wood over time, over time./Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.// Smaller than dust on this map/Lies the greatest thing we have:/The dirt in which our roots may grow/And the right to call it home."

Clocks Coldplay

"Confusion never stops/Closing walls and ticking clocks, gonna/Come back and take you home/I could not stop that you now know, singing."

Northern Lights Oliver Hazard

"That broke guitar is just an alibi./You know I hated everything I tried./Remember the night I got way too high?/The lights were off and I thought you left./I woke you up in the middle of the night./No i wouldn't change a thing/Knowing me."

Henry & Pearl Oliver Hazard

"And we'll light those kings on fire/And the flames just grew even higher./The chloroform and the lightning storm/There was no chance of survival./Steady hands and a lit trashcan/It was blasphemy, not the bible."
