ah!! i saw requests were open! i had this idea a while back where y/n walks in on louis (ives) while he's in the red dress he wore in the movie? And louis is really scared of their reaction but they both end up really liking it? idk that man just needs more appreciation. but feel free to ignore this heh,
love your writing!!!
Beautiful Red Dress - Louis Ives x GN!Reader
TW: Just pure fluff :)
(Requests Open !)
Tumblr media
---------------------------------------------------
Louis, ever since he can remember, has had a fascination with feminine clothing. He loved the idea of dressing up like a woman would, just to see what he would look like. But he has always been forced to push down this desire. He didn’t want anyone to find out and it stayed like that for a while. But when he got with his partner, he felt different. He never really felt comfortable around anyone, even his closest friends. But when he met Y/N, he finally did feel safe. He felt safe and loved and understood. But he still hadn’t brought up his secret interest, scared that he would end up losing the only person he felt safe around. He was scared that they would end up leaving him just like everyone else did. What if they were disgusted? Terrified? He tries not to think about it.
But today was going to be different. The day before, Louis had passed by a clothing store with a mannequin in the window. He stopped in his tracks when he saw it. It was a beautiful red dress and Louis fell in love with it, quickly going in and buying it without letting himself think too deeply about it. He needed to tell Y/N about this side of him. He couldn’t keep it bottled up inside of him any longer. He then asked if Y/N could come back with him to his place to see something. They agreed, letting him lead the way before they both arrived at his place. Once there, Louis went into his bedroom, telling Y/N to sit down on the couch and wait for them. 
Louis went into his bedroom and began to have a meltdown. What was he doing? Y/N would never accept him, not like this. He was still so ashamed of this weird urge he had. He forced himself to continue with his original plan, slowly taking off his suit and changing into the dress. But when he looked at himself, he widened his eyes. He… He loved it. Then he heard the door open and saw Y/N standing in the doorframe, eyes wide. Louis began to panic “Y/N, w-wait, don’t go. I can e-explain” he said before he saw them slowly smile “you look beautiful, Louis” they said gently. 
Louis suddenly felt all of his worries slip away. He was beautiful. He quickly ran over to Y/N, wrapping his arms around them before he began to cry into their shoulder. “I was so scared,” he cried out. Y/N frowned “oh baby, really? About what? Me judging you? How could I not love this? You look so happy” they said as they gently ran their fingers through Louis’ hair. He sniffled before nodding “I love you. I just… I thought you might leave like everyone else” he said quietly. Y/N then gently pulled his head so they were now looking eye to eye “Louis, I will never leave you. I love you” they said. Louis then smiled back at Y/N. He was finally safe, safe to be himself. Every part of himself. Y/N loved him and that is all he has ever wanted. “I love you too,” he said. 
They spent the rest of the day out shopping, Y/N deciding to spoil their beautiful partner with whatever he wanted. Any dress, shirt, skirt, piece of makeup, shoes, anything. They wanted to see Louis happy and confident so they were ready to buy anything in the world to make that happen. And Louis felt beautiful. He felt beautiful and loved and for the first time, he felt safe to be himself. And he was happy.
---------------------------------------------------
A/N: Hope you enjoyed this! I didn't know how to deal with Louis' gender identity so I just went with he/him pronouns for Louis and then gender neutral for the reader. I hope it was okay. Also it is a bit on the short side compared to most of my other works so apologies

Hi for the exchange my question is what would I be like I were in the kpop group Aespa and I’ll do a reading of you in a kpop group
Debut song
So the first thing is I feel like you would be one of the older more mature members that other people look up to as a leader sorta. I’m getting Namjoon vibes but also Jisoo vibes idk if you would be the official leader but maybe an older member everyone relies on like and older sibling like you would be older than the leader. I feel like your official color in the group would be a dark forest green color and I feel like you would be a main vocalist and you would be known in your group for vocals. I don’t think your group would have much members maybe like 4 to 5 at most. You would have a tight sibling like bond and you would have petty arguments with each other but at the end you all still love and comfort each other. I feel like you would have a better reputation compared to the other members I don’t think you guys would have much scandals so people would try to find anything to hate on you guys but overall you reputation would be quite classy as an idol. I think you would have many non idol friends I think you would hang around more Actors/Actresses rather than idols but idols I think you would be close with would be like Irene from rv, Nayeon from twice, and Scoups from seventeen. Your styling would be very feminine like the stylist would style you in skirts a lot also I’m seeing pearl necklaces so that could be something your associated with and you would also be one of those members who always dyes their hair a shade of brown or black and it would be styled longer. I feel like you would be popular with younger fans with parental issues bc you would have this nurturing aura that they can look up to. I also think if you were to be a brand ambassador you would be one from Louis Vuitton, or maybe ysl. Your group concept would be more mature and more vocal heavy like Mamamoo’s type of music especially their earlier days with the jazz influence. Anyways that’s all I hope you liked the reading! Also here are some pictures I think would match your image in the group or vibes

Hello 👋 thank you for the reading and aesthetic 💚
Your reading:
I'm sensing your position in Aespa will be as a sub vocalist, sub rapper and center, you seem to have a hold on the decision the team is making maybe you are a second leader, you will be different from the other members like the black sheep different style and Especially your mind and opinion are really open to the public you may like to engage with friends I'm actually getting this vision of you reacting to TikTok videos and even giving feedback 😂 i have this thought of you where the fans are saying you are 100% in a relationship and you are responding " single and ready to mingle " 😂😂 Oh my god this is funny you seem really famous than the other members, you may have some problems on stage like forgetting chaiography and you standing dumbfounded, i don't think that you will get along with all the members maybe because you guys have different opinions but yet yours seems to win so it makes them insecure, i see you going to Paris for fashion week and even participating as a model, you will have some problems with your weight but I'am feeling that you will have your own standers yes you will have a hard time since most of Kpop girls are skinny but I'm sensing you will be hwasa 2 . Idols you will get along with : Lisa from black pink , J hope from BTS, V from BTS, Ryujin from Itzy
For your aesthetic I'm sending something chaotic yet funny

Hi Amber! I went to the Harry concert in Cologne and I was a little sad/disappointed because compared to my last Harry show (2018 in Oberhausen in Germany) there were a lot less rainbows flags? Is this something you noticed as well? (And then I am also a little bit in my feelings because well for me so much of fandom has changed even if you just compare now to the beginning of everyone's solo career and not even the band)
oh for sure! this was the first thing amber and I said to each other when we arrived in antwerp at our first gig. I don’t think any of the queer fans or rainbow flag waving fans have disappeared, they’re still big in numbers, but harry has… well, he’s mainstream now, isn’t he? everyone and their mother has listened to harry’s house. my coworkers listen to his album, everyone was jealous I was seeing him and asked how the fuck I got tickets whereas in 2017-2018 and before it was still a bit odd to love harry that much. he was that dude from one direction, aren’t you too old to be into one direction? shit like that. which was stupid, naturally, and incredibly annoying, but it was the general view people had of him.
and now he’s one of the biggest stars on the planet and I’m incredibly proud of him and he still ensures that his gigs are a safe space (I truly have not felt anything like it, even Louis was different. I love Louis and he’s very inclusive and the crowd was very queer but the energy isn’t the same), but it comes with… well, with a different kind of person going to see him in concert. and I think now the focus isn’t so much on the rainbow flags, the focus is on the fashion of it all. I’m from the Netherlands and we have a group called de Toppers and they love themselves some pink, glitter and feather boas, and they fill stadiums with their audience dressed like that, and YET I have never seen more pink feathers on the streets in the city than I did during Harry.
for what it’s worth, the Amsterdam show was still VERY rainbow oriented and felt like the 2018 shows, so I think it also depends on the city you’re in, but in Antwerp I was very disappointed as well. And I think, additionally… many of our original crew were responsible for the rainbow projects, yeah? Like the rainbow project for Cologne in late 2017 was fully organised by friends of mine (idk if they feel comfortable with me tagging them) and they’re both not really in the fandom anymore, or not active enough to do something like that again, and I think that’s the case for a lot of people. Not that they turned their back on him, just… circumstances change. And the combination of these factors just… yeah.
Anyways. I totally get you and I agree, is what I was trying to say in a very long winded way dndnd, and I also felt a bit nostalgic and melancholic while it simultaneously felt so good to be back? COVID’s changed a lot, man, everything’s the same but different, it’s very odd. I hope you had a great time at Harry’s show nonetheless, though!

also got to watch the interview w the vampire movie while doing it and my god ik brad pitt hated doing this movie apparently but he literally looks so good with long hair my gosh like i knew that from bullet train but 🥹 it warms my heart so
in this movie? and tom cruise…..lmao i’m actually shocked how he played lestat bc i only know him from action movie idk this part of him 😭 what a ham lmao and so melodramatic sometimes more so than the series but i actually love it so much 😭 and shockingly enough somehow the way lestat was portrayed in this movie was actually not that bad? idk if anything he was v loud and shouty and pushy and stuff but compared to what happens on the show it’s small peanuts i swear lmao they didn’t have to kill him the way they did 😭😭
i will say i love how he was like ‘oh i’m going to give you the choice to have smth i’ve never had’ but literally just attacks louis and immediately turns him without even like asking him at all????? like i’m not kidding tom cruise literally just grabbed him but him and waited for him to turn out of nowhere like 😭 brad pitt had no idea what was going on he was like grieving his wife or whatever while drunk 😭 all bc he wanted “companionship” 😔 same thing w claudia lmaoo bout still v camp though i do appreciate that he actually liked claudia in the movie though from the start lmao and spoiled her immensely but if i ever got stuck in a 10 year old body and i was mentally in my 40s i too would be annoyed w someone bringing me a doll every birthday lmaoo so i get it but the way he died in the movie was insane 💀
also if the show follows the overarching plot of the movie i’m a lil concerns for both claudia and armand lmao 💀 especially claudia if there are consequences for her killing lestat 😭 im sure they’ll switch stuff up but i’m so curious about how they’re going to bring back lestat though bc how they did it at the end of the movie seems incredibly cartoonish lmao but it was the 90s so i’m not surprised 😭

IWTV (2022), 1x01.
Ok I wanted to wait until I fully finish the first book and I was very very skeptical bc they changed so much compared to the book (and even the first movie), but I was also intrigued, so...
*exhales in embarrassment, hiding my face in my hands* Sam Reid as Lestat speaking French... I was already biased 'cause he's gorgeous and he fits RIGHT IN, it's like he IS Lestat but—
I'm twently minutes into it and damn it, Reid. The wonders the right writing and casting can do ('cause I don't even like Lestat in the books nor in the movie!)
The contacts are a bit weird, so are the glassy nails (which is also pointed out in the book that *some* notice it when they don't notice anything else) and I'm surprised how no one called Lestat on that but alas.
Tumblr media
We all remember that meme, right? Yeah, they seem to be VERY good friends. At the same time, just like Sam said, "They don't like each other, they're just in love."
Yooo, Lestat stopping time, mesmerizing all the members but Louis at the table, speaking to Louis through his thoughts is SO cool. And then this bitch just raises his eyebrows like that when Louis is completely ?????
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That bitch decided to haunt Louis already, huh? Not like the book at all, this is a completely different story. The quality of it, however. Hell yeah. He IS a charming bastard. Who wouldn't fall for that, huh.
Tumblr media
Yeah, this isn't the book. It's close, but it's not it. IDK if it's good or bad.
"I was being hunted. And I was completely unaware it was happening."
Such a gentleman. Get close to your prey, pretend to be a friend, seduce him into obeying to you. Whilst in the book Lestat sees Louis, stalks him for a very short time without revealing himself to Louis & then making him his partner, whether Louis wants it or not. Not knowing the book, all the gifs looked like a love story. Knowing the book? This ain't it, chief, lol. Not a love story at all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, it's easy. He wants to drink blood from his neck. turn him into a vampire, fuck him, be with him, haunt him. But for the sake of the story we'll call it "investment opportunities".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, Lestat. This version of him fascinates me. Poor little meow meow that is at the same time a toxic bitch, huh?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One moment he is lost in the memories and the pain. The other he's all present and watches Louis. Yeah, I'm gonna have all sorts of complex feelings. I probably need to read a book about Lestat, but before that I need to finish the first book & that I am really struggling with bc Claudia, my love, deserves better. *deep sigh* Yeah...
Tumblr media
Rolling my eyes bc of all this flattery. Sweetie... stop it. :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oookay.... ???? The way the absolutely destroyed canon in that sense? Cause didn't in the book he met him after Louis and Claudia were already vampires? The one that he turned cause they were so in love? The one he came with at Louis and Claudia after Claudia tried to kill Lestat and were caught in the fire? Or is there another violinist?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Companion heart, huh? Trying to take this with a grain of salt 'cause they do make it look like a love story. Oh, I want you so much, I'm so in love. Then starts the abuse.
Tumblr media
hands <3
Tumblr media
he is so fine, especially in that robe.
Tumblr media
That is how you want to win him over? Lol. Asshole.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean, all supernatural aside, that is quite accurate for when you're not ok with your sexuality, but slept with a man and (kind of) fallen in love with him. And your feelings haunt you. Add supernatural to that & no wonder you're losing your mind.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Applauding. He's beautiful & the acting is great.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You're right, he is smashing those monologues. Still trying to place his deep voice & his accent, though. An interesting version of Lestat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Liiiies. I mean, he believes it at the moment, but how the tables turn afterwards.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The analogue for sex and intimacy and how Lestat just collapsed there. x) Pretty, though.
The Inside episode is cooler than the entire episode. x) All those, "Yeah, I can give him an idea of what I can do" with that editing is absolutely precious. Looks waaay better this way. Playful. "Lestat did not see it that way. He would say he was courting Louis." Sure he was wasn't hunting and stalking him. <3

about ur latest anon(louies who want louis going as big as harry) idk where´s it coming from, i go around those blogs who are primarily louis biased, and don't want that from him, they (me included) want some respect for him, or talking to him as a soloist, and not a spark of the fire that once upon a time existed, but even that is ambiguos. the thing is, the people who compare h and l, they're larries first and then harry biased (Louis needs to deserve h, in their minds, streams, money, etc)
Oh anon - did you read anything I wrote at all? I've no idea what perspective my original anon came from, and why they were so anxious about Louis' Australian TV appearances. But they were in a really unsustainable way.
Suggesting that only fans who do fandom in a way you don't like are anxious about Louis in an unsustainable way is both absurd, and really easily demonstrably not true.

Tues 11 May ‘21
Louis saw us all coming up with wacky theories about what the BMG announcement might mean and came to tell us what’s going on… wait no he just retweeted the same article from yesterday with the partnership wording! Haha, but in seriousness while I know not everyone agrees I think it’s pretty clear at this point that BMG is his new record label. The tweet he posted was captioned with another easily misconstrued statement, THANKS FOR THAT LOUIS, but I will repeat what I said yesterday, which is that by far the likeliest explanation of his announcing to a fandom that’s rabid for label news that he’s joined a label is that- it’s his new label! And all the evidence I see supports that. The post he retweeted said (in the words of Music Week) “After five One Direction albums and one solo LP with Sony Music and Syco, now Louis Tomlinson is officially an independent artist with BMG”. Some believe this means he’s NOT signed to BMG but is putting out his own album and simply using them as a distro; I personally would say it seems pretty clear at this point that that simply refers to the fact that BMG are, as a label that isn’t one of the Big Four, considered an independent label, making Louis, as someone on their roster, an indie artist- like the tweet said. If he’d gone rogue and started his own label there would be articles everywhere about it and that article would have talked about it (instead headlines read “Louis Tomlinson Signs Record Deal With BMG”), plus we have plenty of quotes that would be frankly odd if he weren’t signed to BMG, such as the vice president of A&R at BMG UK, saying "We are delighted to welcome Louis to BMG. He is already busy working on new music, and we are excited to join him on the next phase of his extraordinary career,” a BMG sales manager saying “BMG will have the new album” and referring to the fact that they’ll do promo for it (in a DM conversation that actually appears to be real, unlike SOME going around today), and Charlie Lightening posting “Congrats @louist91 on the new deal with BMG UK excited for LT2, gonna smash it lad”.
More to the point-- why do people want so badly to think he ISN’T signed with BMG? This is GREAT NEWS!! They’re an indie (what everyone has wanted for Louis forever), and they were founded specifically to give artists more control than the majors (after splitting off from Sony; they were more or less founded as a direct push back against Sony’s business model), but they’re big enough to give him the support an artist of his size needs, which would be very hard for him to pull off running his own label-- I’d much rather see him putting his energy into writing songs, touring, making documentaries, and running his management company, rather than doing his own promo and wrangling with distro deals and shit. He should be signed to a label to do that work for him! And BMG seems like an awesome choice! But the weird ideas out there just continue right on-- not just people saying he’s not on a label, but also others, who don’t think him being on a label completely unconnected to Sony will be able to prevent Sony from dropping a piano on Louis’ head like the moustache twirling masterminds they are er sabotaging BMG somehow (the whole point of them being an indie is that this shouldn’t be an issue?), and such amazing takes as “louis has signed to a queer label” (evidence? “we just know that they are queer”; an actual dialogue from tiktok), are unlikely to be affected by any number of facts, as are the twitter folks getting excited about him ‘unfollowing’ accounts he never followed to begin with (Syco etc).
Anyway Louis, on a roll of giving us what we want today, also gave us a VIDEO with his HAT OFF! I don’t even care that it’s a silly ad (for samsung), or that he trimmed his luscious locks a little, it’s Louis! Talking and stuff!! Showing off his still wonderfully long hair all pushed up and back! Gorgeous, amazing, perfect… and yes I am ignoring the slides and socks thank you very much, though I will mention that they are literally exactly the same as Harry’s slides and socks. He also followed BMG, one of his (no doubt many) NFT trading profiles was found (@LT282828, LMAO), and new shows are being added as the tour dates finalize (though ticketmaster showing a Harry date for the same day/place as one of them was a glitch, we don’t have Harry’s updated dates yet)
And speaking of Harry! MP filming was indoors today, so Harry was only seen walking to his car, but he showed up at the Brits!!! In an amazing geometric patterned (or, uh, “macro framed sequence print” I GUESS) brown and tan suit (that clashed just HORRIFICALLY with the neon pastel Brits décor and his award, I fucking love that) and a cute lil handbag and sneakers to accept his AWARD for Best British Single!! (For Watermelon Sugar oddly, but hey a wins a win). CONGRATULATIONS baby and WOW great to see him! He popped in with pal Tomo Campbell, last seen by us when they drove to Italy together last summer. He thanked “my fans, for being so generous to me, always, and everyone in my life who has my back, thank you so much I love you.” Question, did he make the choice to swap out the pink and yellow award he was handed onstage for the blue and green version he had later? Either way, lol. Lots more people will have nice things to say about him now with this high profile win, but even before that people were gushing about him-- Joshua Bassett came out as queer by calling Harry hot (”I guess this is me coming out”), we got Billy Porter on the Brits pre show carpet saying, “I am seeing change! You know Harry Styles on the cover of Vogue Magazine that is change. You’re welcome!” and someone from his recording studio telling us he “was very nice wasn’t he, he brought doughnuts for the assistants and gave everyone a lift home. He came into reception and offered to make everybody a cup of tea,” awww Harry! Lift home from Harry, that’s my new meeting-one-of-the-boys goal.
Niall wished “everyone involved at the Brits” good luck, and Liam wished an NFT creator luck on his sale.

If it hasn't been asked already, do you have any headcanons about France and England's relationship? 👀
Ah, and now we end where I always seem to end. These two cannot get rid of each other, and I cannot get rid of them.
*cracks knuckles* ok idk what you want to hear so I’m just gonna ramble here goes
So before I got my soul stolen by engport, fruk had been, like. Everything. Then I went through a crisis period where I was like 😱 how do I choose 😱 and now I’m like, ok, but why do I have to choose? I think Port and France fill very different roles in Arthur’s life, both of which are essential. Not only that, thinking about engport has helped me better understand Francis and Arthur’s dynamic, so I’ll be comparing a little throughout these hcs.
For me, fruk is a very — latent? — relationship. It’s ironic, bc engport are the ones who actually call themselves best friends and fruk prefer to be known as enemies/occasional lovers, but if you saw them on the street, you’d think France and England were close friends and England and Portugal, are, well, clearly gay for each other. They’re far more openly affectionate, whereas even for those who know them like Spain or Prussia, it can sometimes be hard to believe France and England are dating, let alone head over heels in love.
But they are. It’s just that they’ve been by each other’s side for so long, had those feelings for so long, that they’ve become a part of the background hum, a basic part of their lives. So usually the feelings Arthur or Francis actively feel for each other are mild, everyday things: annoyance, impatience, curiosity, worry. Especially in public/around other nations, they're not touchy or affectionate at all.
But if you know where and how to look, you'll see the signs. A napkin with scribbled math equations, something they argued over at a cafe. A cufflink here, a watch there, all gifts from each other from the hundreds of birthdays they've spent together. Arthur's number listed as an emergency contact on some inane government form. Francis' handwriting on the margins of Arthur's meeting minutes: remember to discuss this with Denmark, the address for a restaurant they're meeting at that night. Francis rereading various titles of english literature, trying to understand him better. Arthur paying for Francis' clothes with his own card without thinking about it. Their lives are intimately, mundanely intertwined in a way that's remarkably rare among nations.
This is actually a rather recent development in their relationship. In my hc Francis and England only started seriously seeing each other right before World War II, and began an "official" (or what passes for official) relationship right after. Then they broke it off for a while again when de Gaulle became president, then got back together shortly after he left office and have more or less gone pretty steady ever since. So that's like, what, a couple decades? A drop in the ocean for a nation. But this easy familiarity they've found doesn't feel new, to them or to anyone else, because in reality they've been building it up for centuries, albeit in unconventional ways. It's almost like through killing, conning, and tearing each other apart, they've lost their fear of each other. Nations have with their own kind a wariness, a constant stumbling block in the back of their mind reminding them no matter how deep their feelings, their interests can never truly align -- and this results in small awkwardnesses like pointedly locked office cabinets and walking away to take phone calls. But such things don't apply to Francis and Arthur. Part of it is the luxury of being allies now, but most of it is the fact that they've seen every side of each other, told every possible lie. Even if Francis did find some shit in Arthur's office, political secrets or otherwise -- what of it? They've planned enough conspiracies with and against each other that short of "I'm plotting a second invasion of Paris with Germany," there's really nothing they can't just scream at each other a little about and then brush off.
Basically what I'm saying is I like my fruk super domestic. But I also like my fruk highkey dramatic. One of the periods in their relationship I think about a lot is right before the American and French Revolutions (Louis XIV era), when I hc that they were in a nearly-entirely-committed, almost-honeymoon-like relationship. This comes from one fic i read that I can no longer find or remember, but where Arthur stays at Versailles for a couple years as the official English Ambassador and they begin a *clandestine* romance that's only half clandestine. This is a time when they were well and truly in love and not afraid to say it -- it was a time when they almost believed they could work out, fairy-tale style. But then the American revolution begins and Arthur is devastated, furious, accusing, betrayed -- they have an explosive fight and their relationship slides right back to hundred years war level hatred for the next century, culminating with Napoleon. The only difference from before is that now Arthur's anger is tinged with a desperate grief ("how could you do this again when you know i love you") and Francis' resentment now has a hint of despair ("I knew we couldn't last, the world is proving me right and i hate it.")
Their relationship slowly, glacially recovers after europe boots Napoleon. In fact, besides a couple proxy wars and shouting matches, the Napoleonic Wars was England and France's last major conflict to date. This coincides with the gradual worsening of Gabriel and Arthur's relationship in the 1900s. At this point Arthur wasn't actually trying to replace Gabriel, and in fact was still deep in denial about his feelings for Francis, but it certainly seemed to Gabriel as if he was being pushed out of Arthur's life and that Did Not Help Anything Whatsoever. Francis, for his part, was incredibly hesitant to push in part because of his lingering fear that they just weren't meant to be, and in part because he actually felt guilty that he was worsening Arthur's relationship with Gabriel, the loss of whom he knew would kill Arthur inside.
I realize I'm going on again so I'll end by saying that now, Francis and Arthur still sometimes have their dramatic moments of "oh shit I'm in love with him, the fuck?" even though the set-piece battles are over. When Francis delivers a particularly elegant speech, for example, or actually puts that mind and sharp tongue of his to work in a pitched negotiation. When Arthur surprises Francis with a weekend getaway, complete with a boat, flowers, and lots of cute blushing and blustering. Or when one of them is seriously ill, overworked, or hurt; when something just snaps one day and all their nightmares catch up to them -- the cold fear and sleepless worry are all reminders of how deep their feelings run, even if they don't constantly make themselves known.

back for more - matthew tkachuk
Tumblr media
a/n: first of all idk what this title is i just wanted to post this lol. back with more matty but this time with a splash of smut. wasn’t expecting it to be so filthy but here we are. let me know what you think! (it seriously means the world to get feedback)
This wasn’t supposed to happen. 
You grew up in St. Louis, becoming quite close with the Tkachuk family when they moved in next door. You were basically inseparable from Brady and Taryn, but Matthew had been another story. He knew exactly how to piss you off, somehow managing to strike a nerve with every comment he threw your way. It didn’t help that he made you so nervous, he was attractive and he knew it. No matter how much both your parents tried, there was no way you two could peacefully coexist. Safe to say you avoided him at all costs, which wasn’t a lot with how close your families were. When Matthew left for Calgary, you finally got a break, able to enjoy your time at the Tkachuk house without his constant bickering. 
Fast forward four years and you were offered your dream job right out of college. But there was a catch: it was in Calgary. It wasn’t even a decision to be made, this was the opportunity of a lifetime and you knew that the city was big enough to avoid Matthew. Except apparently it wasn't, and now you were stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of winding up in his bed. 
You were lucky enough to know one of the other girls that worked at your company, quickly falling into an easy friendship with her. It was Saturday night and you and Ella decided to go out, both looking your absolute best. You went for all black, throwing on your favorite jeans, v-neck bodysuit, and heeled booties. As soon as you walked into the bar, you were hit with the dense, warm air, your attention drawn straight to one of the tvs showing highlights of the Flames win that night. You scoffed, not even wanting to think about Matthew, and pulled Ella to go get your first round. Soon enough, you found yourself talking to a guy at the bar, the definition of tall, dark, and handsome. But little did you know the young guys of the Flames had just walked in, in the mood to celebrate their win. Matthew felt his breath hitch in his throat the second he saw you. He knew you had moved to the city, his mom begging him to reach out and make you feel welcome, but of course he hadn’t. What he didn’t know is how unbelievably good you looked. He had always harboured a crush for you, something about the sweet girl next door just doing it for him. But you quickly became close with Brady and he didn’t want to intervene if there was something there. So in typical teenage boy fashion he did his best to annoy you at all times. By the time it was clear that you and Brady were just friends, he had already established his dislike for you and felt that it was too late to backtrack. But now here you were. Maybe it was the way your jeans perfectly cupped your ass or the high he was still riding from scoring two goals just hours before, but Matthew headed straight towards you. 
There was no denying that the guy in front of you was hot, but something about his personality was straight up boring you. Just as you began plotting your escape, you felt a tap on your shoulder. You eagerly turned, expecting it to be Ella coming back from the bathroom, but your face dropped when you saw him. “Matthew,” you sighed, a self-satisfied smirk already on his face. 
“Long time no see Y/N, hmm?” he grinned. 
You may have hated him, but you couldn’t say he wasn’t beautiful. He towered over you, messy brown curls falling onto his forehead just above his baby blue eyes. His black t-shirt fit him perfectly, tight on his broad shoulders and around his biceps. His scent was intoxicating, daring you to move closer to his frame. And that’s when you knew you were a goner. 
He somehow charmed you into coming home with him that night, not that you were putting up much of a fight. Nearly two months later, you found yourself under his spell, spending night after night together. 
Tonight was no different. After a long east coast road trip, Matthew was begging you to come over despite the early hour of the morning. And that’s where you found yourself, pressed up against his door weakening beneath his body. His hands were heavy on your waist, moving his mouth from yours to trail hot, wet kisses down your neck. You whimpered as he started to suck your sweet spot between his teeth, feeling him smirk against your soft skin as he wound you up. “Matt- Matthew, please,” you begged, hands gently pulling his curls making him groan. With just a few touches he had you dripping for him, no one compared to the way he worshiped your body. He moved his hands down your body, splaying across your ass then your thighs. He gently tapped them urging you to jump, which you did right away, gasping when you felt how hard he was against you as you wrapped your legs around his hips. 
“What do you want babygirl? You just gotta tell me,” Matthew whispered in your ear, making sure to grind into your core a little extra as he spoke. 
“Fuck,” you whined. “Your t-tongue, your fingers. Please Matty.”
Matthew moved to carry you into his bedroom, continuing his assault on your neck. “Whatever my girl wants she gets.” You tried not to overthink his possessive language, and luckily you were quickly distracted as he dropped you on his bed. You couldn’t help but giggle as you bounced on the soft material, him grinning down at you, eyes full of admiration. It was moments like these that made you question the original agreement of just sex. He could be so sweet, so respectful. But you didn’t let yourself go there, knowing he had no interest in a relationship, especially not with his former childhood enemy.  
Your thoughts were interrupted as Matthew went back to work, lips reattaching to your neck and rough hands slipping underneath your sweatshirt. You arched up into him in desperate need of more friction. He was taking his sweet time marking up your collarbone, but you couldn’t wait any longer, pushing him off your body so you could pull off your top. 
“Someone’s eager,” he chirped with a smirk. 
“Oh shut up,” you snapped back, pushing his head further down your body. 
Matthew chuckled and wrapped his hands around your back, gracefully unclipping your bra and throwing it across the room. His pink lips trailed down, covering your boobs in fresh bruises, the partially healed ones still lingering from previous nights. Once he reached the band of your leggings he wasted no time pulling them off your legs in one swift motion, but he left your panties behind. He wasn’t quite done teasing you. Matthew hooked both your legs over his shoulders, settling in. His dominant hand moved to finally ghost your core, fingers faintly dragging up the black lace. He smiled up at you as he took in the sight in front of him. You were squirming beneath him, already losing control of your body completely. His thumb rubbed your clit in painfully slow circles, your arousal becoming visible through the material. 
“Mattttty,” you whined, begging him to do something, anything. 
He normally hated that nickname, it reeked of desperation from girls he had no plans of calling again. But when it fell from your lips he felt his dick twitch and his heart melt. No matter how many times he told himself differently, you weren’t just another girl and deep down he knew it.   
“Okay, okay princess. I got you,” he cooed, finally pulling your panties off. “Fuck,” he groaned as he saw you glistening before him, “So wet for me baby.”
He delved right in, dragging his tongue up your slit, reveling in hearing your moans as he finally gave you what you needed so desperately. Your hands flew straight to his head, pulling at his curls making him moan into you. Slowly but surely he reached your clit, wrapping his swollen lips around it before detaching his mouth with a pop. 
“Mhm, you taste so fucking good babygirl,” he groaned. 
You didn’t have time to respond before he went back to work, tongue massaging your clit just right. You had learned very quickly that this boy knew exactly what he was doing. With one finger he teased your entrance, feeling you out before sliding it in. 
“Fuck, fuck,” you whimpered, your back arching off the mattress as he curled it against your g-spot perfectly.   
Matthew smirked against you, blue eyes lifting to lock with your gaze. He added another finger and picked up his pace. He knew you were close, and he also knew just how to finish you off. He flattened his tongue against your clit and shook his head back and forth, arm resting heavy on your waist to keep you from moving.
“Ma-Matty I’m gonna cum, fuck, fuck,” you yelled out, not holding back in the least bit. His name continued to fall out of your lips in a chant as you reached your high. 
Matthew milked you through your orgasm, making sure to look up and watch as you fell apart. It was his favorite sight: the way your back arched, face twisted, and legs shaked. He finally slowed his movements, pulling back to watch your cum spill out as he removed his fingers. You sat up on your elbows trying to regain your breath, in awe of the man in front of you and the earth shattering orgasms he never failed to give you. He locked eyes with you, a devilish smirk on his face as he moved to suck his fingers clean. 
“Feel better?” He teased with a self-satisfied grin on his face. 
You rolled your eyes and laughed, dragging him up by his shirt to kiss him, sighing as you tasted yourself on his tongue. He gently bit your bottom lip, making you pull away to urge him to shed his clothes.
--------
Two more orgasms later, you fell back against the mattress, chest rising with each breath as your body started to come down. Matthew laid next to you, his head tucked into the crook of your neck and his arm heavy across your waist. The two of you stayed like this for several minutes, basking in one another’s warmth. Neither of you would ever admit it, but this was your favorite moment of the night. That short bit of time when it was acceptable for fuck buddies to hold each other right after sex. But eventually you found yourself fighting everything within you and escaping from his grasp, moving to the bathroom to go clean up. Like usual, Matthew loosened his grip on you and watched you walk away, the door closing behind you. 
Normally he would push his feelings to the side and let you leave, but he didn’t know if he could handle pretending tonight. Before he could talk himself out of it, he got out of bed, throwing on a fresh pair of boxers and grabbing a t-shirt. He sat on the edge of the bed waiting for you to emerge, heart beating out of his chest. 
When you opened the door, you were expecting to see Matthew already half asleep, mumbling a goodbye to you. Early on in your arrangement, he insisted you stayed over in the guestroom, not wanting you to go home alone so late, but you refused. The best he got out of you was a text when you got home safe. You just couldn’t allow yourself to wake up in his apartment, that would be a cruel joke to your true feelings. But tonight, he was waiting up for you, a t-shirt in his hand. 
You gave him a confused look, suddenly feeling very exposed in front of him. 
Matthew moved his hands out to you, urging you to grab the shirt.
“What are you doing?” you questioned. There was no way this was what you hoped it was, he wouldn’t.
“Put it on,” he said, as if it was the most obvious thing ever. 
“Wha-,”
“I can’t do this anymore, okay? I can’t watch you leave every night and then fall asleep alone wishing I was holding you. So put the shirt on and get back in bed.”
It was almost like you didn’t believe him. You gave him another quizzical look, to which he responded by gesturing it towards you again. You finally reached out and grabbed the shirt, slowly pulling it over your head. It was big, and you couldn’t deny that your heart fluttered as the soft fabric fell over your frame. You hesitantly moved towards the bed, climbing back under the sheets. Matthew slid in behind you, immediately reaching and grabbing your waist, pulling you flush against him. 
You stayed silent for a minute, but your mind wouldn’t shut off. You couldn’t just pretend that this was normal. 
“You know we have to talk about this, right? You’re not that dumb,” you mumbled at the end. 
He scoffed, but it quickly turned into a chuckle as you turned in his arms and he saw your face, laced with confusion. 
“What is there to talk about?” he smirked. 
“Matty,” you warned, not blind to how his cheeks pinkened at the name.  
Matthew sighed, “Look, Y/N, I don’t think you hate me as much as you pretend to. And I’m telling you that I never hated you like it seemed for all those years. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure we’ve been exclusively hooking up for a while now and fuck, I want more,” he declared. 
You of course agreed with him, but you decided to have a little fun. 
“How do you know you’re not just one of many on my roster, hmm?” you teased, but he saw right through you. 
“You’re here almost every night I’m not away. I would honestly be impressed if you were doing that,” he laughed as he looked down at you, moving his hand to play with your hair. 
You didn’t even have words, just cupping his cheek and pressing a slow kiss to his lips. When you pulled back, he was staring at you with the softest eyes, and after so long you finally let yourself stare back. 
“Okay but I’m not telling our parents. That’s on you,” you spoke. 
“Umm, about that, I already told my mom-”
“You told your mom that we’re fucking! What is wrong with you Matthew?” you exclaimed, playfully hitting his bare chest as he burst into laughter. 
“No! I just told her we started hanging out a little bit. That’s all baby.”
“Oh thank god,” you sighed, relieved that the woman you basically considered a second mother didn’t know that your relationship with her son started as a Saturday night bar hook up. 
After another fit of giggles, the physical and emotional exhaustion of the night finally struck. You turned into Matthew’s body and nuzzled into his chest, his arms holding you close. His lips grazed your forehead, whispering goodnight. But just when you felt your eyes slipping shut, you heard that voice one more time. 
“I should probably tell you though, Brady knows about the fucking.”
“Mathewwwww,” you groaned into his skin, feeling your body shake as his vibrated with laughter. 
Even though you had a lot of explaining to do back home, you were so happy to have the pest by your side through it all.

you’ve talked a little bit about this wrt dan, but i’m curious: what are your favorite seasons/arcs for the main gg characters? (serena, blair, dan, nate, jenny, vanessa) cause everyone’s personalities tended to uh, shift a bit from season to season and storyline to storyline, and i’m wondering which eras of those characters were your favorite?
oh, so i sat on this question for a very long time, and spent a ton of time thinking over it. here we go! 
i loved the way serena was written in s1 and s2. she was so full of joy despite all the difficult things she’d endured, so bubbly and warm and... lively is ALWAYS the adjective that comes to mind for serena, despite how it’s a terrible pun. but yeah! she had an energy to her that was very childlike & genuine, and i loved that about her - despite the things she’d endured, she was so full of light (?? how do i describe this.) i know that serena’s arc gets notably more tragic s3 onwards, but i feel like the way she was written lost a bit of depth s3 onwards as well. she had a sharp wit, and a good sense of humour, she was playful and... most notably, she had this little giggle? that she literally NEVER does in the later seasons, which makes me sad?? she stopped laughing like a child at the age of, what, 19?? idk. in s1 & s2 serena had so many layers, and i feel like as the seasons went on they tried to, uh. keep only the surface layers? they didn’t really do justice to the character they started out with.
my answer for vanessa is actually the exact same, with slight modifications. vanessa’s energy in s1 and s2 was unparalleled. literally the best. i loved her and the way she was critical of everything and YET so ready to learn. compared to all these rich, privileged, white people... her presence was just SO good and so important to me, because the way she was so critical of the uber rich was something nobody else really was, and i think that perspective WAS valuable and should’ve remained, haha. idk what it was about s3, but i feel like they didn’t keep the crux of who vanessa was? it wasn’t a BAD vanessa season as much as an incomplete one. i felt they could’ve done so much more with a character like vanessa.... she’s so vibrant and full of life! and the way s3 was for her was very surface. and then in s4 they just demolished her character entirely. i’ve said it before, i’ll say it again: what jenny, juliet and vanessa did in 4x09 was TOTALLY out of character for vanessa. she would never, ever do that. and by the time s4 came around... someone else said this, i don’t remember who. but they said that vanessa was basically being used as a plot device more than as a character. notice how she’s always in the right place at the right time to overhear the right thing? it’s a travesty, because vanessa was just..... so significant to me. like her being there added so much value & even changed the tone of the show imo.
my blair feelings are very complicated. i think she’s fascinating, and i love leighton & her performance. i love book blair so much more than show blair, and idk why or how to explain it. i mentioned this in that post where i ranked the characters, but while watching blair in high school specifically i can’t EVER forget that she would probably hatecrime me, and even when she’s out of school she is still supremely racist at times. i actually liked blair best in s5 - and i know she was going thru ~tragic~ stuff (i think they dialled the tragedy too high actually, like, blair had TOO MUCH on her plate and from a storytelling point of view it was... ambitious, to say the least, to hope to bring all out of that out on tv) but like, keeping her tragedy aside. her capacity for kindness and care really shone thru while she was with dan, and i liked how the d/b relationship took her out of her comfort zone and her “but im a Waldorf!” bubble and let her, idk, be a person. i liked her in s4, too. i feel like blair is a really good, nuanced, fleshed out character as blair, and the way she clung to being a waldorf combined with her rich-white-girl privilege got kind of boring after a while because like. she’s not like louis? her character has so much depth. her character doesn’t need to be reduced to a title, because she’s SO much more than that.
i feel like i need to do a lot more rewatching when it comes to dan because i CANNOT be objective about him. he reminds me far too much of myself!!! down to his flaws and his mistakes and his issues –  i was a precocious little shit in high school at times in very similar ways to dan, i like to think i’ve grown out of that (& am perpetually making an effort TO grow out of falling into those patterns) & that’s what i want for dan, too. dan’s arc feels real to me, because a lot of it is my arc, too. feeling lonely, out of place & unaccepted in high school --> being a popular kid in college… that hits really close to home. s1 & s2 are important seasons to me because i’m extremely protective of awkward, trying-his-best high school dan (he can be awful at times, but he can be earnest and sincere, too!) i feel like s4 is actually the best dan season – took me a while to get here, but halfway thru my s2 rewatch that’s how i’m leaning. but dan’s arc was very interesting to me, and i wish they’d kept his heart. trying to retcon him as evil fell absolutely flat to me, like. who are you convincing! one of my friends and i were joking about how georgie blackmailed dan into pretending to be gossip girl (she obviously has dirt on him that nobody else does.) anyway. dan’s arc felt pretty true until the end of s4. i wasn’t a big fan of how he was written in s5, i felt like something had been taken away from his character, but i don’t know how to say it better. you’re right though, i have gone over this a lot! so i’m not going to break my head over it, ‘cause we’re already a thousand words in and i still have nate and jenny to go.
speaking of jenny, though: i think dan’s storylines REALLY needed more of a big brother arc. the way he was characterised, especially in s1, was very “i would kill a man for my baby sister” and i have NO idea where that went or why they got rid of it. (actually, i do have some idea. fucking chip wiskers apologism & elevation of chair over literally anything else. sigh)
okay, now speaking of jenny in terms of jenny. i liked her s1 arc, like, her trying to make friends with these people & trying to keep her morals and realising she can’t do both was interesting. i think that should’ve been that with her clashes with girls in constance, though. and afterwards, either nothing happens, or she transfers out of constance, etc. jenny’s s2 arc makes me sad – she was exploited and treated like dirt in so many ways :( the jenny/agnes was interesting in s2, though, and there’s no way to interpret it that ISN’T lesbian. i’ve always felt like jenny’s feelings for nate in s2 are very comphet. jenny’s s3 arc made me even sadder than her s2 arc- she was alienating all her friends one by one, making everyone hate her, and just…… spiralling. she really needed a better support system. her s4 arc made no sense. like. why did she come back in the city to fuck with serena like that? it didn’t feel right.
yeah, all that said… i feel like there are many super intriguing elements of jenny’s storylines and arcs, like, even within canon events if things had been executed differently, it could’ve been actually good/empowering. but the writers hated jenny. and this show was never a feminist show.
ah, so… nate. he started out as a flake in s1 & s2. that’s his whole thing. he doesn’t know who he wants to be / how to get what he wants / how to get where he wants. he takes people for granted. he isn’t dependable or reliable, he lets people down (most notably, blair & vanessa.) and he means well, sure! but his life is like amber and he’s trapped in it. he doesn’t follow his heart, he’s too busy trying to please the wrong people, etc etc. in s3 he’s suddenly so ready for commitment, which always breaks my heart because vanessa!!! but anyway. s3 has a shift in his character, possibly him getting dumped at prom and realising that high school is over and one thing that tethered him to his family (being a kid, being a high schooler, being a minor, whatever) –  one big thing that held him there is gone. so it makes sense that he starts trying to be his own person. i like s3 nate, and s4 nate. we see nate sort of gradually try and be a moral compass, and it’s interesting to me. when i write d/n fic something i really focus on is dan finding nate dependable, and i think that’s a value that builds in nate over time. nate of season 1 is not dependable, nope, no way. but nate of s4 seems like a decent friend to have. in s5 and s6 they more or less threw his entire arc to the wind and gave him so many shitty storylines (sage spence, wtf? nate would not do this. he’s been on the opposite end of this before, he would not carry the pattern forward, ffs.)
idk. this almost hit 1.7k, LMAO. i hope it made some amount of sense!

Hi. I have not been on twitter or even in the fandom long enough so i came here to ask you about something. What's with the song claiming thing? Suddenly ziams are claiming songs that have been claimed as larry song. No I'm not gate keeping. Pardon my word choice.I'm not English. But I'm just curious. As long as i have been in this fandom, no control was a larry song the moment it came out and everyone was ok with it and even ziams never claimed it before.now suddenly they are like oh liam also wrote it? Home has always been larry song considering the timeline, him leaking and all, ziams never claimed it before, now suddenly home is a ziam song too? 18 was taken as a larry song from the moment ed said it was written from 1D perspective and everyone was ok with it considering how Louis used to literally serenade Harry like turning his whole body,changing pronouns etc. No one had a problem untill now. Suddenly in 2020/21 ziams are claiming it. Why didn’t they do it before? Why now? I'm just curious.
Warning selfies have been a thing with Louis for years. Now suddenly it is linked with liam too? How? Did he do it before or something? I genuinely don't know. So let me know plz.
The whole devlin thing, devlin album came out in 2017 i guess and they comparing Louis tweet with zayn tweeting that is from 2016. How does that make sense?
Also some people say larry closeting didn’t work but ziam did...awful thing to say. If it didn’t work then there wouldn’t be so many antis and they are still going through so much. People wouldn’t believe Harry dates every woman that breaths around him. And they claim there are two bbg in ziam relationship right? Why did they need two bbg if it worked? I mean if the closeting worked? Bbg has nothing to do with relationships.
Idk if ziam was real or not but I'm sure gigi was pregnant, she had that symptoms, pregnancy glow,tired face and all. Now whoever the father may be..idk.
I'm not convinced about ziam and how does that make me hypocrite? Also there are some "if this counts(larry),this counts too(ziam)" thread. what's with the comparison?
Sorry about the rant.
Hello anon wow this is long a lot to unpack so I'll start with your song questions.
Idk why ziammies are suddenly trying to claim songs that have ALWAYS been larry related. Especially when Liam said in an interview that Louis and him were a song writing duo for 1D BUT that he wrote the melodies and it was Louis who wrote the song lyrics. Last I checked melodies don't equal meaning of a song so how are these songs about ziam?
Some examples of this....
They are trying to claim Home but Liam said the song was personal to Louis and how when he read the lyrics he didn't want to change them. Home is also a direct response to If I Could Fly with ONLY Harry on the credits. Home was leaked by Louis the night of Belfest when Larry found out BG was being taken pasted the birth of a kid and it pissed off Louis so he leaked Home as payback bc it was clearly a loud song management didn't want on the album.
They are trying to claim 18 but the song was written by Ed who said [compared to other 1D songs he wrote for them] he wrote 18 with a 1D member in mind. [That is why we claim the song at all.] Ed was closeted in the band to Harry next being Louis and Niall he was the least closeted to Zayn and Liam. Side note Ed has a song called Friends that he said was about 2 friends of his who fell in love and when a fan yelled L&H he laughed/smirked and said init so it makes the most sense 18 was written with Harry in mind. Plus 18 is about meeting/loving someone sense they were 18 and it was only Louis who was 18 when they all met and it was Harry who would scream NO 16 when singing the song. Also larry changed the lyrics to HIM and would stare directly at each other when singing 18 livem According to ziam MPs ziam weren't a couple until at least 2 years into the band so why would 18 make sense for them also given they were both 17 when they met & none ever went NO 17 when singing it.
They are trying to claim No Control but that song as we know is about the morning after sex and the second round they end up having. Like stated before Louis wrote the lyrics to 1D songs and Niall plus Larry always made it DAMN CLEAR what that song was about. Also remember when Harry would always jam out hard core when Louis would sing his part in No Control aka majority of the song. Yeah that song is Louis song no doubt.
Tumblr media
They try to claim Alive which makes no sense bc Zayn nor Liam is on the credits at all only Louis. They say it's bc Liam said he related to the song ok I see that but still he didn't write it and still how does this song equate to ziam? Alive is more a song used as proof Louis isn't straight bc it's about self exceptance of who you are even tho others around you for along time made u feel there is something wrong with you. It's about Louis who is more confident part way through the story being told and then helping his lover [who seems to be a bit insecure about themselves] except and love who they are. Since Liam didn't write on it the relationship aspect couldn't be about him and Zayn. Since he said he just relates to Alive at BEST it could mean he might not be straight but it can't be used as proof of who his partner is when he didn't write on it.
There's others but I think you get the point they have always been larry or hinting at Louis sexuality songs so I don't get why or how they are suddenly saying their ziam songs? Myself @lovemylarents and @fearlessmoon09 think bored people in quarantine is what happened to change the landscape.
To your next question warning selfies...
So warning selfies was something Louis did everytime something BG stunt related was going to happen. He started it and did it a ton back in 2016/17 when BG stunting was massive for him. Liam never had anything to do with warning selfies and Louis warning selfies were ALWAYS like I said BG related so suddenly ziammies going Liam does warning selfies for things involving Maya or Gigi makes no sense. It was ALWAYS a Louis thing.
For the Devlin thing...
You hit the nail on the coffin with that one the album with the song Cold Blooded that had the lyrics "so is it true XXXX fathered a baby? I don't really think so, if you ask me he don't like ladies. Could have been HARRY, yeah, I bet it was HARRY" [emphasis on Harry bc I saw a ziammie change the lyrics to Liam] came out in 2017 while Zayns tweet was done in 2016. Unlike Louis tweet which was specifically about this album not just the artist and tweeted during the height of BG stunting. So not the best comparison. They really should fact check before making these "larries are hypocrites" threads bc veteran larries know and fact check everything.
Next thing you mentioned what I call their slogan "larries closeting didn't work but ziams did that is why less talk about/believe in ziam then larry" piss me off so much and what you said it right. If larry's closeting didn't work then we wouldn't be here complaing about how the GP sees Harry as a queerbaiting womanizer, how solo henries who want to have sex and suck Harry's dick exist and how some locals don't want to join Louis fandom bc they think Louis and his fans are homophobic or that twarries exist thinking Louis is a deadbeat dad. Tell me again ziammies how their closeting didn't work? It is so invalidating to everything larry has been put through. Also if larry's closeting didn't work but ziams did then why did they need 2 BGs for Ziam and only one for Larry? Myself @kaybutlarry @babyhoney-28 and @onlythebravestan are still waiting on an answer to that question haven't gotten one.
As you said about Gigi yes she definitely looked more pregnant then Briana ever did. The reason I don't believe in their BG with Gigi is bc their story is inconsistenent. Side note back when Liam had a kid no one besides a few on tumblr ever said it was BG 2.0 they didn't start saying BG 2&3 until Gigi happened. Back to inconsistenences so their original story when we first learned Gigi was pregnant was it's fake just like Briana there's no kid, then when Gigi did the livesteam showing she had a bump and a round face you get when pregnant the story changed to she's pregnant the kid is just not Zayn's.
Then I recently saw some who [after the kid was born] went back to the story the kid is fake there is no kid OR they are using a child actor. Unlike Louis BG they don't have a consistent story that makes sense. Also the kids are never shown unlike with Louis kid F gets posted every damn day with creepy and bad photoshop, and a million articles about how he is Louis twin to shove it down our throats the kid is Louis. The situations have NEVER been the same with Louis vs even just Liam kid.
To your last point ziammies keep calling and making threads about how larries are hypocrites bc we don't believe what they do which is damn annoying bc they constantly say just leave us alone why do you care we exist but then constantly make threads like that getting mad we aren't all ziammies. If your going to make threads against us then yeah were going to say something and respond to your threads the way we would to a debunking larry anti thread. Their threads like that are either using funny coincidences of larry that we don't use as concrete proof to compare to ziam OR their ziam version of our proof has been debunked already like the Ziam Levine Stylinson sticker on the bears. [If you want more info on that ask @lovemylarents.]
They constantly take what is a larry proof and say it's also about ziam [Example the songs] or have a ziam proof that mirrors a larry proof. [Example the devlin thing or selfies] In their threads they always compare miniscule larry things that aren't our MAIN proof. See the miniscule proofs are the house and the big proofs are the concrete foundation that without it those miniscule things would not be able to really count as proof of larry and the larry house would fall. Ziammies ONLY have miniscule proof not a very solid foundation so I'm unsure how long their house will last.
I have been in this fandom for 10 years I have seen MANY ships come and go [Examples: Ziam, Ziall and Narry] but the one ship that has always been here was Larry. Larries have been here for 10 years, Larries are the ones who are talked about in the media, Larries are the ones constsntly gaslighted, Larry is the one ship that needs to be denied a bunch [poorly might I add] there's NEVER been any other ship or ship group people have hated, gone against or talked about this much besides Larries/Larry.
Funny [not for us] but funny that Liam goes through all the trouble of gaslighting Larries and talking about EVERY Louis stunt but he never mentioned Ziam which is a ship that actually involves him or the Ziammies who say Bear isn't his kid. Why did he talk about US and not THEM which involve him? Also funny Liam can easily say the word Ziam but Louis can't pronounce an EASY @ just bc it has the word Eroda in it.
My mutrals and I all agreed we didn't give af that ziammies existed until they kept talking shit about how we aren't ziams to and then go why are larries acting like antis hating us. First off it was NEVER larries hating on them it was toxic solo Zsquad and solo Liam stans who were. We didn't get involved until the entire tl was LARRIES ARE HATING US AND BEING HYPOCRITES. Second off and my last thought it's easy if you don't want us in your replies then don't make threads about us being hypocrites and use easily debunked ziam proof or miniscule larry proof to mirror bc we will point it out bc you think were hypocrites thank you.

Playlist Feels
Member: Yeonjun
Genre: Slice of life, idk teen romance? chaebol yeonjun? running away from reality?? no trigger warnings, whatsoever :D
Word Count: 2.1k
A/N: I know all the members of txt but i don’t actively stan them like i do with ateez and nct now, but this song really hits different and it’s also the first time i’ve written a ‘playlist feel’ one shot where the member involved is the same person who sang the song attached to the one shot. usually i write the one shot based on both the feel of the song and the member, so hopefully yeonjun suits the vibe of this one shot. i apologise if i butcher it ;_;
Tumblr media
you were anxiously biting into the surface of your nail and your finger pads, not bothering about chewing on your nails because yeonjun said it was unhygienic and unsightly. you remember you got mad when he first said it to you, because what business was it of his if you had that habit? 
but that was nearly two years ago when the two of you first met. you were working at a branded goods’ store, and yeonjun had waltzed in with his parents wearing what looked like an Armani Exchange blazer over a plain white shirt. His pants were obviously tailored to fit his legs perfectly, and his shoes looked like something only a businessman would wear. you would tell him his outfit looked mismatched, but you were just a mere service staff working in this expensive branded goods’ store. 
*flashback
his parents left him alone with you while they shopped for their more mature, adult clothing in the other side of the store. yeonjun was easily a head taller than you, even when you were in low, platform heels you needed to wear for work. he was fitting on a brown blazer, and you stood in the corner, biting at your nails and scanning the fit on him. 
“the arms look a little long cause your shoulders are broad for your height, let me--”
“biting your nails are unhygienic and unsightly, hasn’t your manager told you that before?” 
you scoff and pull your hand away. you look at him through the mirror, since you were standing behind him. he had this teasing smile on his lips, and his tone strangely wasn’t degrading. he sounded like he was your friend, telling you off about a habit that was indeed, bad. 
“i’m gonna go and get you one size larger.” 
you return with the same blazer in one size larger, simply handing him the piece of expensive clothing without touching him. he shoots you a look of slight surprise and smirks at you. 
“mwo?” you frown at his reaction, watching him pull off the blazer and return it to the hanger. 
“most female staff members, especially those around my age, usually offer to help me with clothes fitting.”
you roll your eyes at his statement. “that’s not very professional.”
yeonjun takes a look at himself through the mirror, turning around in a circle as he looks back over his shoulder at the mirror, making sure the back wasn’t too loose. “it’s not.”
you raise both brows and sniffled, bored at the conversation. you leaned against the wall nearby, making sure no superiors were around to see you acting so relaxed around a customer. but you knew yeonjun was watching you carefully in the mirror’s reflection. 
rich boy’s surprised that there’s a girl who isn’t interested in him. 
you snicker under your breath, trying not to look at him anymore. 
yeonjun leaves with his parents, the blazer folded nicely and packed into a box, and you didn’t notice, but yeonjun already had your name and contact taken down from your boss. 
*now
“i’m sorry, am i hearing you right?” your blood was boiling, and you wish you could slap the girl standing right in front of you. she was dressed in some strange Louis Vuitton fit, and her hair looked like it took three people to fix. 
“you heard me right. you have to break up with yeonjun-sshi because we’re getting engaged in six months.”
how the hell did she even find out?
nevermind.
no point denying it now that she knows. 
“i’m pretty fucking sure yeonjun’s got a ton to say about this.” you stand up from the expensive couch, the large living room in the middle of the mansion spanning out so wide, you wondered if yeonjun’s mansion was bigger than this. 
“even if he did, i doubt he has a choice,” the girl, who goes to the same private school as yeonjun, had this smug, arrogant grin on her face. 
life had a strange way of putting you in places you were meant to be. sometimes you wondered if yeonjun was meant to meet you at the Saint Laurent boutique. you wondered if it yeonjun’s feelings for you were meant to happen, because compared to him, you were nothing but a pauper. you found yourself stuck in a situation where your boyfriend was a chaebol, waiting to inherit whatever riches he was born into, but you were here, facing the girl he was meant to marry in the near future. 
“besides, i’ve already told his parents everything about you. about your father being a criminal, about your mother being an ex-drug addict.”
her words sunk into you like knives into your gut and needles into your eyes. of course yeonjun knew you were from a family that god obviously hadn’t spent a lot of time in making, but there was never a way for him to bring it up to his parents. there was never a way you would’ve wanted yeonjun to be the one to defend you, because you knew he would if the conversation ever came up with his parents. 
you felt your nose turn sour as you clenched your fists by your side. you could’ve punched this bitch right here and now, but the guards standing around wouldn’t make your situation any easier to get through. you huff from anger, storming past her and leaving the mansion altogether. 
yeonjun finally found you sitting in the corner of his barn you managed to sneak into. you tried your hardest not to cry since the moment you left his supposed-fiance’s house two hours ago, but there was just nothing else you could tell yourself that life was going to go your way.
“hey... hey,” he muttered under his breath, his last few steps quickening as he neared you. yeonjun fell to his knees, opening his arms wide and welcoming you into his embrace while you quietly sobbed. this was the first time you openly broke down in his presence.
“what did she say to you?” yeonjun pulled away and cupped your face, wiping your tears away with his thumbs. 
“she... she said she told your parents about my family, and... and that you wouldn’t have a choice but to marry her...” you managed to choke out between hiccups, your fingers peeling at each other at the thought of losing the one thing that you were happy with. yeonjun’s face fell to dismay at the new information, leaning back and sitting on his heels while he ran his palm through his hair.
“i’m sorry. i shouldn’t have agreed to being with you, knowing that you had so many things to worry about--” you coughed, looking down and shaking your head so aggressively, the tears flew out and hit the strands of hay on the floor.
“no, don’t apologise. none of this is on you--”
“yeonjun, please. i can’t-- i can’t watch you get married to someone else--”
“then we’ll run away.”
you immediately stopped breathing, your lungs momentarily collapsing and your head snapping up to look at him. 
“mwo?” you whisper, afraid that someone would send a bullet through your head for even hearing what he said. 
“we’re leaving.” yeonjun says this with the most firm, look of confirmation in his eyes. “i don’t care about the money, i don’t care about whatever i’m meant to inherit, but i was meant to walk into that Saint Laurent boutique store and i was meant to meet you. you are the only thing i care about, and i won’t let anything ruin what we have.”
you swear you could hear your heart shatter at his declaration of love for you, but you couldn’t help but to think about his family. everything that his parents had done, they had done it for him. 
“but--”
“no,” yeonjun shakes his head, getting to his feet and pulling you off the ground. “we’re leaving.”
he doesn’t give you much time to process the situation, but he’s got a few staff members to pack his clothes and get it out of the mansion without his parents’ noticing. 
the power of being a chaebol. 
you were watching blankly, but your heart racing, while yeonjun violently pries off the license plate off the cheapest car in their garage, the few staff members who helped get clothes, belongings and some cash out for him were now looking at him like they had helped a criminal.
“it’s been nice working with you all, and i thank you for your service all these years,” yeonjun gives a deep bow, the staff members awkwardly bowing in response. one of the staff members, who a part-timer and yeonjun’s confidante, stepped up and looked yeonjun in the eye. for a split second, you were worried soobin was going to try and persuade yeonjun not to leave, but you could only look down when you overheard his words.
“i knew you were crazy, but i definitely did not see this coming,” soobin smiles. yeonjun chuckles and bites on his bottom lip, looking back at you with the softest eyes ever. 
“you go and live the life you want to live. we both know you didn’t want this life of luxury, so go.” 
yeonjun nods subtly before wrapping his arms around soobin and giving him a tight hug. 
soobin was the only one of the staff waving you off, the other staff waiting to be reprimanded by his parents for letting their son run away. 
“yeonjun... where are we going?” you quietly asked, the air-conditioner making the car colder than outside.
“oh, we’ll worry about that later. but first, we gotta pay someone a visit.”
you found yourself back in the mansion you were in just a couple of hours ago. yeonjun had managed to bypass the security system and break in through the back door because it was the same system he used back at home. yeonjun flashed you a mischievous grin before hurling a vase at the mirror, both items shattering in the process. 
something in you clicked, watching yeonjun turn into the person he really is. no more rich people meals, no more blazers and expensive shoes, no more hiding. 
you cackled, your high pitched laughter echoing in the halls as the sound of glass and broken pieces made contact with the marble floor. picking up the heaviest statue he could find in the room, he dropped it without hesitation on the glass table in the middle of the living room, only the golden frame of the table remaining. 
your eyes sparkled as the reflection of the china and the metal cutlery shone under the light of the kitchen. you pulled out the plates carefully only to throw them across the length of the room at the wall. Like in slow motion, the plate shatters into a million pieces. 
back in the living room, he was ripping the pillows up, the feathers coating the marble floor, making it look like a child's playground. he wonders why it takes so much for the house to come alive. 
the person that you were both here to piss off was finally awake, wide, angry eyes fixated on them as he grabbed your hand and bowed, like you had just finished a show. 
"like what you see?" he snickers, fingers interlocked with yours. The girl standing on the 2nd floor overlooking the living room looked like she had steam escaping through every opening in her face, and the look on her face only added onto the adrenaline in the blood that ran through both your veins. 
"maybe you should think twice about doing what you did," he flashes her his most charming smile, the exact same smile that the wretched girl was so desperate to call her own. you didn’t know if she was more angry that you broke into her house and destroyed everything expensive you saw, or that she realised she lost the game she started. 
but did you care? no. did yeonjun? no. 
you and yeonjun soon found yourselves driving away at top speed in the car, away from her mansion, away from the life he never wanted to live, away from the life you wanted to run away for a long, long time. 
tears were gathering in the corners of your eyes as you watched yeonjun laugh and woot out the window of the drivers’ seat. as the car stops at a red light, he turns to you, holding the back of your head and pulls you in, pressing your forehead against his lips as he whispered,
“together forever.”

Okay beer nony back here and before I reply to anything can we talk about the fact that you also used „fake it til we make it“ in your description of Niall?
Honestly that textpost had me so emotional. I think your opinion is very thorough and accurate and it really feels like it comes from a standpoint of a person that has a) seen them as a four-/fivepiece and b) genuinely cares for them as human beings. I am really happy I get to talk to you, you really seem like your heart is i the right place, gives me a good feeling. Man that really had me emotional, I‘ll just move on as I don‘t really have anything to add haha.
11 Tracks didn‘t surprise in a good or bad way I think I just „assumed“ he would release another very long album, since it has been a while. But I think it‘s totally fine and I am just really happy that he is comfortable with this as compact art. I am actually really excited to see if it gives his normally very slow-paced musical style maybe a different spin... I really don‘t know how to explain that better, it‘s still a bit early and I actually kind of have a lecture right now oops. Have to agree on the merch yet again! I am sucker for some good merch and I won‘t lie, when I saw that code for the site going around I couldn‘t help but get something. 😫 It‘s my birthday present from me to me (at least that how I am trying to justify it).
Are you still going to watch it? I think I saw one or two links for the show floating around on this site? Or are you not the greatest fan of that?
My Lima Bean has a special place in my heart. He was always like my happy place in 1D. I am so sad I was so young at that time, I wished I would have had the possibility to see some things from a different perspective. But I guess there is no use in like „guilt“. I also struggle with his music a lot, it took me some time to pick out the gems in Lp1. And that makes me even more excited for the future. I really really hope he takes all the time he needs now (I am not sure if you saw but he more or less announced he was taking a break as for now) and I hope he comes back stronger than ever or at least with what he believes to be the music he truly truly wants to make. Because that is the best thing ever. Should that be something I don‘t really like I will still support him the best I can because that will make me the most proud, if that makes sense?
I DID DO THAT SJDFKJSKS oh niall ily
you’re soooo sweet love <3 thanks so much, it really means a lot to hear that! one of my fav things about the band is watching their dynamics, how they interact with each other how they flirt with each other  lol and i really do care about them a lot, because they genuinely are humble and down to earth and just good people and that is so weird to find in the celebrity space, specially since they’ve been on it for 10 years now. but omg <33333 you’re so so so cute
i think i prefer a more standard, “shorter” album. dont get me wrong, icarus falls is a masterpiece but it can be overwhelming and i feel like many songs don’t get to shine when there are so many yk. for what we’ve seen in the singles, i think it’s gonna be very chill, slow pace music but we still haven’t heard everything yet, so i’m wishing for something more energetic. also YOU DESERVE THAT BDAY PRESENT! what did you get?? also when’s your bday if you don’t mind me asking
maybe i’ll watch the LP show, but idk rn i’m not really too much time at home, but maybe when i get back from the beach i will! i have to do a lot of organization and cleaning at my house so it’s gonna be good for background music. 
idk about you but now that i’m starting to be their age when they were in the band (i’m 20, so louis’ age during tmh era, liam zayn and niall during mm and harry during four), i look back and i see things completely different. i imagine myself in their place (being away from home all the time, overworked, no rest, stunts, paps, lies, cameras all over you) and i just don’t think i would handle it as well as they did. so, what i’m trying to say is that growing up helps with understanding stuff better, and you can get that different perspective with more depth because you can compare them to your thoughts when you were younger. so i don’t really think it’s a bad thing we were so young back then. 
i saw liam saying something like a break but..... is it a hiatus kind of break? i’m so worried now omg. also you’re making a lot of sense! but i bet it’s gonna be awesome music, and if you love liam so much you’ll always find a way to love his music <3

What do you think about Larries that are like “I think Ziam were a thing but not anymore”? Bc the way they compare and contrast certain similar situations between the boys is so clearly biased to favor their theories about Louis+Harry and it’s so very odd to me that two white boys could have an ever-lasting, beat the odds fairy tale type of love yet an interracial couple was only in it for the hook-up culture of it all. Hmmm.
Oh boy 😂 Let me just warn you that this might get rambly because I have a lot of thoughts but also wanna be careful about how I answer this [insert Not All Larries disclaimer here lol]
But okay here we go I’m scared lol! I sort of feel two different ways about that?? If someone has taken the time to look into it all and that’s the conclusion they come up with, then it’s fair to me. I wouldn’t ever be mad about someone not feeling the same way I do! But what has always annoyed me!!!!! about the other side of that is people who admit they don’t know anything but figure they HAVE to come to a conclusion, and then very confidently talk about Ziam being fwb or whatever like they’re a scholar and it’s confirmed lol. And that’s only because of where I come from with Larry. I’ve never totally looked into them the way I have with Ziam. I’ve seen compelling posts and think my Larrie mutuals are smart, sharp people and I’m on board with it! But you’ll never see me seriously speculate about them because I don’t know what I’m talking about 😂 And I don’t think I have to have discourse available for everything in this fandom, so I guess I just wish some people would do the same djsjd. Like saying “I don’t know enough about this so I don’t have an opinion” is very powerful lol.
Also your white boys comment made me laaauuugghhhhh lol. And I totally agree with that sentiment!! So much of how this fandom views Zayn (and Ziam by extension) to this day is rooted in racism. The comments about him being lazy or an addict and especially how he has always been sexualized -- it’s all harmful stereotyping and it’s gross!!!!!! It’s why I would sometimes get aggravated whenever one of the boys would release a breakup song and this fandom would tie it back to Zayn. Like I know it’s supposed to be all in fun and shipping isn’t meant to be serious but when there are people who say Zayn hooked up with every member of 1D and then broke their heart by leaving, or people ship Liam with any other man but Zayn, or Zayn couldn’t possibly be monogamous if he wanted to be, it gets on my nerves and maybe that’s a buzzkill for everyone else but idc 😂😅 
ANYWAY!! To get back to your point lol 🙈 I think there’s definitely a double standard when people don’t give two situations the same consideration and just dismiss one because they refuse to see it! Also idk how you wouldn’t wanna believe in Ziam after seeing those two together but who am I to judge lol.
(Also sorry again for babbling, I knew it was gonna happen 😅 xx)

Shadow of Night reread
A few days ago I re-read Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness. It took me very little time to do it (which was surprising, considering the fact that i re-read the first book for almost 2 months). I will be doing my reactions about episodes as well (as soon as I re-watch them) and comparing the show to the first book.
My reactions, notes and everything under the cut. There are some trivia I forgot about, things i hope to see in season 2 of A Discovery of Witches, some stuff referencing the next & previous books and what not.
BEWARE OF SPOILERS FOR THE BOOKS. IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BOOKS, DON’T READ THIS POST. Enjoy!
[ a discovery of witches | shadow of night | the book of life | time’s convert ]
Tumblr media
the book takes place in 1590 & 1591 (matthew & diana scenes) and 2009 & 2010 (present day scenes) in the span of 7 months
diana's hair change colors when she timewalked into 1590 - they're long, red and curly, and they change - not exactly back - when they return to the present - they're straight, silky strands that were brighter redish gold - just like my mother's hair. it does't say anything about the length though (probably in the next book);
2 of my favorite quotes describing Matthew in this book: The man was as tall as a giraffe. | Bloodred stockings would do more than capture a wandering eye, given that the man who proposed to wear them was a six-foot-three vampire, and most of his height was leg..
“Surely you’ll let me kill him now, de Clermont. I’ve wanted to do so for ages,” Hancock said, cracking his knuckles”. “No. You can’t kill him.” Matthew rubbed a hand over his tired face. “There would be too many questions, and I don’t have the patience to come up with convincing answers at present. - Hancock never liked Kit, I also love Matthew's reasoning lol 
- AT THE SIGHT OF PHILIPPE'S LETTER MATTHEW CRIED VAMPIRE TEARS ESPECIALLY THAT THE LAST TIME MATTHEW SAW PHILIPPE HE COULD BARELY HOLD A PEN IN HIS HANDS AND PHILIPPE LOVED WRITING I AM NOT OKAY 
“Then who . . . ?” I trailed off. “Ysabeau? Baldwin? Surely not Marcus!” I couldn’t believe that Matthew’s mother, his brother, or his son could be involved [in the Congregation] without someone letting it slip. - oh, diana... Question: did Deb knew it was Baldwin when she was writing it? In A Discovery of Witches Matthew acted like he didn't know who was on the Congregation "And Marcus? Find out who besides Peter Knox and Domenico Michele are members of the Congregation."
- Until I have made peace with the past, I will not set foot in France. - we know Gallowglass showed up in Sept-Tours in 1945 when Philippe was dying. Did he go there before too? 
“Explain yourself.” The words were quiet, but they didn't conceal Philippe's fury. - he is nor just mad because Matthew has a wife now. He is furious because he can sense that BOTH Diana and Matthew are from the future - this is what Philippe wants Matthew to explain.
Also, interestingly, reading A Discovery of Witches I've noticed that Baldwin called Philippe "dad" while Matthew calls him "father". Coincidence? But then in the Book of Life Baldwin calls Philippe “father” so... Idk anymore. That being said, verin calls him “Atta”;
“The twelfth century was not good for you, and we allowed you to read entirely too much poetry." - I need to know more now! What exactly did Matthew read in 12th century?
"It is regrettable that you are not going to Florence, then. But it will be a long time before you will be welcomed back to that city, after your latest escapades there." - Matthew, what the heck did you do there? Please tell me you were NOT behind the siege of Florence, i beg you... But then again, Ysabeau did say that Matthew caused wars in Italy when he was bored...
Tamen mea lingua graeca est peior.” “Then we shall not converse in that language either,” murmured Philippe in a pained tone. - HE JUST WANTS TO SPEAK IN GREEK, THAT'S HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE, WHY DOES NOBODY BUT YSABEAU SPEAK IT. BUT that explains why he made sure greeg was still taught in schools later - he wasn’t only looking for Diana, he wanted people to speak his native language too
“Philippe doesn’t seem to think so.” “Then bed him. - lol, if only
"He is my son. I will not fail him.” Philippe’s mouth tightened." PHILIPPE I LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS
“For someone wedded to a witch you are quick to judge the passions of others, Matthaios. Louis is your brother.” Goddess bless us, another brother. - Diana is not happy having huge family lol
I had been wrong. Philippe had not been trying to break Matthew, but only his guilt. Philippe had not failed his son after all. - MY FEELS
“I forgive you,” his father repeated, throwing his arms around his son in a fierce embrace. “I forgive you.” - IT KILLS ME EVERY TIME, THEY BETTER KEEP THIS IN THE SHOW
i love how Philippe just makes Diana his blood daughter without a second thought lol
“Think—and stay alive.” Philippe clapped his hands. - one of my favorite quotes 
Alcides Leontothymos beseeches you to hold this child Diana in your hand. - i am right to  think Philippe is in fact Heracles, right?
Philippe trying his hand at engineering and failing every time will always make me laugh. You may be thousands years old vampire, but some things you will never learn 
Philippe, Diana and Matthew's goodbye always kills me SEASON 2 BETTER DO IT JUSTICE
“Anomalies,” Ysabeau murmured. “Philippe was always looking for anomalies in the world. It is why I still read all the newspapers. It became our habit to look through them each morning.” - Phiippe knew he would not be alive by the time Matthew and Diana were together, but he was always hoping he could see her again. he hoped that Diana would be at least born while he was still alive and he always knew that when Diana and Matthew came back to their times, there would be anomalies throughout history. That's why he told Gallowglass and Verin to search for them too, to keep Diana safe.;
“That’s what Philippe says about Granny,” Gallowglass muttered under his breath. “Just before all hell breaks loose.” Give me more Ysabeau and Philippe you cowards; 
“Matthew knows the book, for his brother gave it to me.- So Mary Sydney knows Godfrey too. Does she know the rest of his siblings?;
[Marcus] made a muffled oath. “Tell your intuition to take a break, for God’s sake.” I need to see Marcus and Ysabeau interacting in season 2, their banter will be amazing
Every time I read Marcus seeing miniatures for the first time and missing Matthew so much kills me too - the show did them dirty, i need more of them together too; 
I forgot how much I ship Marcus & Phoebe;
I wish we could see the requests for magic Diana has received in season 2 and her not being able to do anything about that, i need this conflict SO MUCH. Does she help? What is she doesn’t and her neighbors will out her as a witch? This could be SO GOOD please show, deliver;
Diana’s symbol is rowan tree;
“Baldwin’s never lost a million of anything in his life.” - just throwing this out there because I love Baldwin with all my heart; 
917 is the Knight's of Lazarus telephone number. it belonged to Philippe, then to Matthew and now to Marcus. Philippe chose it to honor Ysabeu's birthday (September 17th). What i wanna know - is it her birthday or re-birth. ALTHOUGH it should be 179 - In Europe (and Philippe was Greek after all) we, unlike Americans, write the day first and the month later;
When Gallowglass learned that Baldwin had been called to Sept-Tours at Ysabeau’s behest for some unspecified emergency involving Matthew, the Gael knew it was only a matter of time before the historical anomalies appeared. i think it was when Diana was kidnapped by Satu, right? Just want to be sure;
Gallowglass is smoking, i completely forgot about it;
Rudolph is flirting with Diana so much (ughhhh) because his source in Congregation told him that Matthew only married her to save her life a.k.a. charges of witchcraft;
Matthew helping Jack with his nightmares is the sweetest thing he's done so far;
One of Philippe's names is Ariel, what are the others?;
 Abraham (Jewish weaver in Prague) comes from Chełm. Is this why Benjamin moved there?;
I need to KNOW the story about Baldwin and Dracula, Deb. Come on.;
“He did. I swear it. Baldwin ordered him to leave or face the same fate as the Impaler. You should have seen Baldwin’s face. The devil himself wouldn’t have disobeyed your brother.” i want to see it too lol;
apparently, Gerbert told Ysabeau about the prophecy about a witch with the blood of the lion and the wolf. I wonder if this was one more reason she was anti-Diana at the beginning or did she dismiss it as something not important;
And speaking of colleagues: How, after years of buying you Harvard bibs and mittens, did I end up with a daughter who teaches at Yale?” good question lol I WANNA KNOW TOO;
Bennu, Stephen's familiar, is a bird.;
#saveEm2k19;
Matthew nearly had a heart attack when he discovered that his beloved Range Rover was not waiting for him in the underground garage. Instead we found a navy sports car with a soft top. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha it always cracks me up; 
Edward Kelley sent the first page to Rabbi Loew, the second to Hubbard. Who gt the third and who sent it to Diana’s parents?; 
Annie stayed with Shakespeare after Matthew and Diana left and Jack was with Hubbard.;
Also, Matthew made Diana a diplomatic passport for easier traveling;
Overall, I loved this book. There were some boring moment that didn’t move the plot forward at all (like most of Prague, especially the hunting or the play, making the philosopher’s stone with Mary Sydney) that I hope the show will cut it out completely or shorten it. Hopefully, they give us at least 2 episodes of Philippe at Sept-Tours - now that they got 10 episodes, they have a chance to do it properly. I also love the magic lessons from Goody Alsop and other witches, though I suspect, season 2 will only give us 1 witch (but I hope we will see Sophie’s ancestor too. My favorite characters are Philippe, Pierre and Jack and I hope we will get plenty of them (please include Pierre, show!)
