SasuHinaMonth2023 PROMPTS and ARTIST OF THE YEAR!
Well, well, well.
Looks like we're finally here! After weeks of preparation and formatting and planning, we are FINALLY ready to make two announcements today!
Let's start with Artist of the Year, as congratulations are very much due!
Tumblr media
Perhaps you recognize this beautiful art style! The MOD team took attentive care to go through the many fabulous artists we have in the SasuHina fandom, and we found one artist in particular whose dreamy style and beautiful color schemes fit our theme perfectly!
We'd like to congratulate @daifukumochiin for being SasuHinaMonth2023's ARTIST OF THE YEAR!
Mochi is such an amazing artist that keeps pumping out beautiful pieces, and we were so happy to see the amazing pieces she made for our banner and icon for 2023! Everyone, please send your love and joy to DaifukuMochiin. She deserves it!

Sorry you feel that way towards the fandom! I just got here so I have no previous times to compare it to, but there is something to what you are saying considering I check your blog daily considering you have such a delightful stream of art and texts posts about the 40k boys. And you are one of the few giving the normal astartes members some love too. Care to share some more secondary characters you think are deserving of reading about?
There are a lot of Legions with remarkable Captains and Sergeants who rarely get the spotlight, that's true!
I have to admit I am very biased, so if they are wearing purple, grey-later-red or green I am easy to impress and quick in loving all of them. I have written a lot about my favourite Emperor's Children (In my opinion Vairosean, Kaesoron or Demeter are very overlooked! And of course my favourites - Lucius, Fabius, Saul, Eidolon, Vispyrtilo, Krysithius, Ramos, Narvo, Bellephus, Alkenex ... the newcomers Xantine and Vavisk - so many!), my favourite Word Bearers (well, the usual - Erebus, Saqqara, Kol Badar, Kolos Undil, the Warmonger, Burias, Marduk, Narek the Traitor and brand new - Qaran Tun) and the Salamanders (more 40k, though. But who couldn't love Numeon? The 40k guys are better fleshed out, at least in my opinion. As much as I like Vulkan's Primarch novel, I think the Salamanders don't get much spotlight during the Heresy - their Primarch's spectacular stunts aside, of course!)
But some Legions really get the short end of the stick during the Heresy when it comes to prominent Captains/rank and file. I mean, who do we really get to know from Russ's lot besides Bjorn and Grimnir? Maybe Wyrdmake. But else? Slim pickings!
I would love to see someone get passionate about 30k Raven Guard or 30k Dark Angels! Or 30k White Scars (or 40k WS, by the way. I don't know shit about 40k WS!) Not the Primarchs, mind you! I am NOT interested in people gushing over Primarchs! The little guys! Do it! Go for them! It's free real estate! And so much room for activities!
I know people going feral about 30k Imperial Fists and (a bit at least) 30k Ultramarines. And 30/40k Death Guard. And one Salamanders-connoisseur. Okay, it's always just one person. But it's something!
For some reason, a lot of people go apeshit about anything Thousand Sons. Even if most of them can't name any of them except Magnus, Ahriman and Khayon. But I shouldn't be a snob.
Okay, that was not a very structured essay. But my point is: I would love following blogs about the overlooked Legions! Not Primarchs! Primarchs can appear, I mean, I draw Fulgrim a lot. And Lorgar. And Vulkan. But mostly the second row, please. Focussing on the Captains. And the Sergeants. The specialists. The serfs!

𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴: Sergio Ramos x Female Reader
Word Count : 2k
𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦: I am so glad you like my writing style! Of course I can write your request (: I am sorry this took me such a long time to post c': Thank you so much for your patience!! I Hope you like how I represent your idea ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚!!
TRIGGER WARNINGS: Anxiety Attack, Paranoia, Being Chased, and Suggestive Stalking.
(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ REQUESTS ARE OPEN, currently covered in college work so as of now uploads will mainly be on weekends. Thank you for your patience c’: ♥
𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. 𝙉𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚.
You tell yourself, "Come on, it's just your mind playing tricks on you," as you pick up the pace. You decided to get some fresh air and visit a neighborhood café for a cup of coffee and a snack. However, as you leave your car and cross the street to the cafe, you can't help but feel eyes on you once again. You try your very best to ignore the feeling by telling yourself that you are just being paranoid, but the unease didn't go away. Every time you left your house in the previous several weeks, whether it was to get the mail or go grocery shopping, you couldn't help but sense that someone was watching you. The eyes felt more like those of a predator, with you as its target, than like normal paparazzi seeking to obtain content. As you thought you could be overreacting, you were hesitant to tell Sergio Ramos about it. Yet, as this feeling grew stronger, you began to suspect that you aren't hallucinating.
You quickly cross the street after checking both directions. The familiar prickling sensation at the back of your neck, the sensation of being watched, returns. Even though you made an effort, it was difficult to shake off. As you quickly open the door to the cafe, you scan around to see if you recognize anyone, but all you see are random individuals going about their daily lives. You could not escape the impression that someone was following you even though there was nobody you could recognize. Your thoughts were plagued by it constantly, like a weight on your shoulders. As your thoughts start to stray, your pulse rate increases as you patiently wait in line. What if someone is really following me? What if they have bad intentions? What if today is the day they will come out of the shadows?, you think to yourself.
The employee interrupts your train of thinking with "Ma'am? ", leading you to look up. You flinch slightly at the sound of their voice and mumble a sorry before hastily approaching the cashier. "May I have one iced Americano with a pumpkin loaf?" She nods and puts everything in, and as you take out your wallet to retrieve your card, the employee says, "Well someone already paid for it so you don't have to worry!" As you heard this, your eyes widened. In order to not appear suspicious, you just gave the clerk a slight smile. "Can you tell me who it was? Just so I may personally thank them." "Sorry ma'am, I don't know," the cashier says while shaking their head. " Someone from the drive-through apparently noticed you and asked if they could pay for you."  You simply nod your head and proceed to the location where you will retrieve your items. You kept looking around, trying to spot anyone who might be watching you. You were wearing clothes to disguise yourself so that no one would notice you, including sunglasses, a cap, and a tracksuit, so you knew that someone pin-pointing you was not a coincidence.
You lightly bite the inside of your lower lip, deciding it would be best to just leave the cafe and return home as soon as possible. Since you had no idea which drink would be yours, you made sure to observe every employee make it, but just to be cautious, nothing was added. Your name is called a short while later, indicating that the employee is holding your order. You swiftly leave the store after saying a short thank you to the employee. As you exit, you take a drink of your iced americano and sigh slightly as the beverage's chilly sensation spreads throughout your body. To get back to your car, which is situated in a medium parking lot, you swiftly cross the street. You are ready to take another sip as you make your way to your car but stop yourself when you notice someone in all black pulling something out from under your vehicle. When you watch the person inspect what appears to be an airtag, your heart seems to skip a beat. They have been tracking your location this entire time. Accidentally stepping on a chip bag as you slowly start to back up causes the person to look up at you as soon as they hear the bag crumble. To prevent you from recognizing them, they are hiding their face with a ski mask. Five seconds pass before they start to run in your direction, which causes you to scream, hurl the coffee at them, and immediately run away from them. Running deeper into the parking lot was not the best course of action; rather, it would have been better to return to the coffee shop. Yet, your feet started to move before you had time to stop and consider. "Y/N, my sweetheart! HOW DID THE COFFEE GO? I HAD BEEN DYING TO MEET YOU AND I KNOW THIS IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE! ILL TREAT YOU SO GOOD MY LOVE" The person yells, prompting your adrenaline to skyrocket. By the way they spoke, this person appeared to be an obsessed stalker rather than someone who was trying to harm you. They kept gushing about how wonderful you are and how they would treat you so well. Running as rapidly as you could through the parking lot, you duck behind a car, trying to mask the sound of your labored breathing while doing so. The figure, who we now know to be a man, was likewise panting rapidly as he swung his head from side to side in an effort to find you. He turns and asks, "My Love, where did you go?" before running the other way. Thank goodness, he fled the other way, and as soon as you saw him go farther than you had been, you sprint to your car.
As soon as you got in your car, you sped off to your house. Should you have dialed 911? Definitely. But right now, all you wanted was to feel secure, and the only place you felt secure was at home. You drove while sternly fighting back the tears since you didn't want to endanger other drivers or yourself. The energy spike from the adrenaline has your entire body shaking, and it keeps doing so even after you go home.
You swiftly pull into your driveway, park the car, and enter your home. Your cheeks start to get wet as the tears that had been pleading to come out finally do. You raise your arms over your head and place your hands on top of your head as you hyperventilate, hoping that this will force air into your lungs. While you recall the events that happened, your mind feels like it is racing at 100 mph. You begin to reflect on all of your suspicions, believing that you were overreacting when, in fact, you were not. Your body continues to shiver as you pace back and forth, feeling increasingly nervous that the mysterious person is watching you in various ways. What if they hacked into your phone? What if there's actually a camera in your house right now? Your overthinking causes your head to pound, and you start crying because you're unsure of what to do. You were so preoccupied with your thoughts that you failed to see Sergio coming your way. Sergio was exercising in the gym room while wearing headphones, so he was oblivious to your entrance. He only became aware of your entrance when he noticed the mirror in the exercise room wobbling slightly as a result of you slamming the door. He removes his headphones, exits the room, and enters the living room while wearing only a pair of futebol shorts. He grinned broadly in anticipation of seeing the love of his life, but as soon as his eyes met yours, his smile vanished and he hurried to your side.
He frantically asks, "My love, what happened?!?" while placing his hands on your sides and bending slightly at the knees in an effort to look into your eyes. When you first saw him in front of you, you immediately embraced him and sobbed into his neck. He was sweaty, but you didn't mind because you just wanted to be near him. incredibly close. Sergio pulls you up by the thighs and walks  over to a neighboring couch. He reclines with you on his lap and gives you a comforting back rub. He waited patiently for the right moment since he knew that in the heat of the moment, it would be preferable to keep silent so you can calm down a bit. You start sniffing around ten minutes later when you eventually start to feel a little calmer. When Sergio notices that you are frowning, he lifts your head off his shoulder to look at your face. He asks calmly, "What happened, my love?," as he uses his thumb to dab the tears off of your now-red, tear-stained cheeks. " Promise not to get angry with me?," you murmur as you delicately bite your lip. "I could never be angry with you."  You give him a slight nod and slide from his lap to take a seat next to him. You started spilling every detail about what had been happening over the last few weeks as soon as you sat down next to him. Whether you check the mail, take your car to be washed, even just watering the garden in the front yard, etc…. you sense someone is watching you. And you just withheld the information from him because you were unsure of whether you were overreacting. You also explained how only when you are with him, and only him, do you ever feel secure.
Sergio's face became more enraged the more you expressed. You were aware that the unknown person was the target of the rage, not you. Sergio is a fiercely protective boyfriend who would stop at nothing to ensure the safety and well-being of you. His anger quickly flared up knowing that you felt threatened. He thinks about what he will do when he finds this man, including beating him until he is reduced to a pulp and forcing him to make apologies to you. How could anyone think they could love you more than he could? When it comes to providing you with the finest, he is the best.
He slowly gets to his feet, making you bite your bottom lip as you wait to see what he will do next. He is now the one who is pacing back and forth. "My love, I'm very sorry that I am unable to provide you with the comfort you may need at this time. I am beyond furious that this has happened to you. When you are not with me, I will hire full-time protection for you." He's starting to overreact now, so you say, "Babe," in an effort to attract his attention. "Well, you know what," he bellows as he continues to ramble, ignoring you. You'll always be with me since you're only comfortable when you are with me. I'll now make sure to always be by your side no matter what.” You call out, "Baby," once again in an effort to grab his attention. “I'll make sure you're able to attend all team practices and activities, or I won't play. Easy as that. Let me just fetch my phone and I'll figure it all out," he says, patting his shorts. After shouting "Baby!" a little louder and getting out of the chair, he eventually stops talking and turns to face you. You approach him and put your arms around his waist while giving him a little smile as you glance up at him in an attempt to calm him down. "How about we buy some Chinese food, cuddle on the couch, and ask Justin to get it for us?"  You give him those puppy dog eyes, trying to get him to agree to text one of the security guards you two already have, "We can talk about this tomorrow when we both are more clear in our heads."  Because of the anxiety episode you just experienced, your mind is clouded, and you can see that Sergio's mind is not in the proper state to be making decisions. Sergio's actions may have appeared possessive or controlling to an outsider, but you were aware that they were motivated by love and compassion. You were pleased to have him as your partner and appreciated his constant commitment to your safety and security.
He exhales, venting his irritation, and then nods in agreement with your suggestion. "Okay, but give me a minute to shower first. I'll text Justin before I enter so that maybe when I exit he will already be here." You give him a cheek kiss while standing on your tiptoes saying, "Thank you, baby."  You didn't want to panic over someone who was nowhere near you right now; all you wanted to do was cuddle with your boyfriend. You will undoubtedly make a police report tomorrow, but for the moment, you only wanted to be with Sergio. He runs his hand through his hair and sighs, " Y/N…..You're going to be the death of me."

Eddie Redmayne Says 'Willkommen' to Broadway in First Production Photos from Cabaret Revival (Exclusive)
'The Good Nurse' actor is starring as the Emcee alongside Gayle Rankin as the musical's leading lady Sally Bowles
By Sabienna Bowman Published on April 15, 2024 02:30PM EDT
Tumblr media
Eddie Redmayne is ready to put on a show in the first photos from Broadway's Cabaret revival!
In PEOPLE's exclusive first look at the famed John Kander and Fred Ebb musical's return to the Great White Way,The Good Nurse actor, 42, suits up at as Kit Kat Klub's mercurial Emcee. With his jaunty green party hat, oversized brown cravat and black gloves, Redmayne is both intriguing and imposing as the fascinating character.
In another snap of the Emcee in action, Redmayne leaps into the air as several members of the cast dance around him during the show's iconic opening number, "Willkommen."

Additional photos from the show shine the spotlight on House of the Dragon actress Gayle Rankin in the role of the vivacious nightclub singer Sally Bowles. In one compelling photo, she seems poised to take the stage with a microphone in hand as she's surrounded by ensemble members during the song, "Mein Herr."
Another picture finds Rankin in a ruffly white dress while holding a prop cigarette as she performs the song "Don’t Tell Mama."
The Cabaret revival is being directed by Rebecca Frecknall, who helmed the West End version, which also starred Redmayne. Previews began April 1 at the August Wilson Theatre in New York City, with the show set to officially open on April 21.

Cabaret has long been a success both on the stage and screen. Based on John Van Druten’s 1951 play I Am a Camera, which in turn was adapted from the 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood, Cabaret first hit Broadway in 1966. It was later turned into the 1972 film of the same name starring Oscar-winner Liza Minnelli.
The musical tells the story of Sally, an ambitious English singer who starts up a relationship with American writer Clifford Bradshaw as he observes the eccentric characters who populate the Kit Kat Klub in Berlin. Set between World War I and World War II, the growing unrest beyond the club's doors is ever-present as the artists within express themselves through song.
It features a score by Kander & Ebb made up of a string of songs that have become musical theatre mainstays, like “Willkommen,” “Don't Tell Mamma,” “Mein Herr,” “Two Ladies,” “Tomorrow Belongs to Me,” “Money,” “Maybe This Time” and, of course, “Cabaret.”

Redmayne, who also produces the Broadway revival, has long said that Cabaret “properly ignited” his love for theater, while playing the Emcee in a student production of the musical over 25 years ago.
In an October 2023 statement, he shared, "It now feels completely thrilling and a little surreal to be a part of Rebecca's truly unique vision of Masteroff, Kander, and Ebb's brilliance as it arrives on Broadway, where the piece has such a history."
In addition to Redmayne and Rankin, the rest of the principle cast is rounded out by Ato Blankson-Wood (Clifford), Steven Skybell (Herr) and Tony winner Bebe Neuwirth (Fräulein), as well as Natascia Diaz (Fraulein Kost and Fritzie); and Henry Gottfried (Ernst Ludwig).
The cast also includes, Gabi Campo (Frenchie), Ayla Ciccone-Burton (Helga), Colin Cunliffe (Hans), Loren Lester (Herman/Max), David Merino (Lulu), Julian Ramos (Bobby), MiMi Scardulla (Texas), Paige Smallwood as Rosie, and Marty Lauter (Victor) — also known as Marcia Marcia Marcia of RuPaul's Drag Race fame.
Tickets for Cabaret are on sale now.

Nestled in the Hudson Valley is a sumptuous retreat boasting every amenity: organic meals, private fitness trainers, daily massages—and all of it for free. In fact, you get paid big money—more than you've ever dreamed of—to spend a few seasons in this luxurious locale. The catch? For nine months, you belong to the Farm. You cannot leave the grounds; your every move is monitored. Your former life will seem a world away as you dedicate yourself to the all-consuming task of producing the perfect baby for your überwealthy clients. Jane, an immigrant from the Philippines and a struggling single mother, is thrilled to make it through the highly competitive Host selection process at the Farm. But now pregnant, fragile, consumed with worry for her own young daughter's well-being, Jane grows desperate to reconnect with her life outside. Yet she cannot leave the Farm or she will lose the life-changing fee she'll receive on delivery—or worse. Heartbreaking, suspenseful, provocative, The Farm pushes our thinking on motherhood, money, and merit to the extremes, and raises crucial questions about the trade-offs women will make to fortify their futures and the futures of those they love.

all sources with a grain of salt obviously but
A high school classmate told the Washington Postshe had seen Ramos engage in multiple fist fights, and a former co-worker told The Daily Beast he was inclined toward harassing women he worked with.
“I don’t think he was necessarily bullied,” the classmate, Nadia Reyes, told the paper. “He would take things too far, say something that shouldn’t be said, and then he would go into defense mode about it.”
this is unfortunately standard with school shooters —there's such a strong narrative that they were bullied up front but once you start digging you find violent, angry misogynists whose social issues stem from the way they treat people, predominantly girls and women, around them. i expect more like this to come out in the next week or two

EAGLE PASS, Texas – Migrants have killed pets, stolen from shops and knocked on doors late at night in a Texas border town, prompting some residents to arm themselves, locals told Fox News.
"I don't feel safe," Laura Ramos, an Eagle Pass business owner, told Fox News. She said she keeps "several weapons" at her store for defense.
Griselda, another local business owner whose employees are all female, said she used to close her business at 9 p.m.
"We now close at seven because it gets dark, people are walking around, all girls, you just never know," she told Fox News.
700+ MIGRANTS CROSS INTO TEXAS IN 1 DAY; REP SAYS GUATEMALA PRES OFFERED TO HELP BUT BIDEN ‘WON’T EVEN CALL'
Vice President Kamala Harris, who President Biden had tasked with tackling the migrant crisis, recently said in an interview that "the border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system."
"I live far from the downtown, but in that area, it's a lot of ranch[es], a lot of big properties," Cindy told Fox News. She said migrants went onto one property, "and in order to steal something, they killed the dogs."
"They are like robbing stuff or killing animals to eat," Cindy continued. "So that's what concerns me."
Eagle Pass has three official border crossings, but the most popular course is to illegally cross the Rio Grande, according to locals. The large influx of migrants into the border city has stressed local resources, and residents said they believe the town is not as safe as it used to be. 
The Del Rio sector of the southern border, which includes Eagle Pass, has seen over 376,000 migrant encounters since October 2021, averaging out to nearly 1,100 per day, according to Customs and Border Protection. That's more than double the 183,000 encounters seen the year prior.

Ramos said she taught her children how to handle tasers and other weapons to defend themselves in case there's an incident while they're working.
"I already taught them how to use these weapons," Laura told Fox News. "They're teenagers. They're 14 and 15 years old."
"It's something that has had to be done because we don't know what can happen," she continued. "We don't know these people or where they come from."
One longtime Eagle Pass resident, Rosie, said: "It's not safe, especially for a lot of the ranchers."
Cesar, who works downtown, also said migrants are "leaving a lot of trash" on ranches.
"A lot of migrants are dying in the river, too," he added. "All those things are affecting the city," he continued.
Migrant drownings in the Rio Grande have flooded Eagle Pass mortuaries, forcing the city to request refrigerators to preserve bodies, according to the town's fire chief.

"So the situation, it's not under control," Ricardo, who owns a food truck business in Eagle Pass said. "My understanding is that we need to close off our borders because if we don't do nothing, more people will come, and those people are suffering."
Armando told Fox News that he sees new groups of migrants walking alongside the road "pretty much every day." 
"You always hear on the internet that there's immigrants walking around neighborhoods, to lock your doors and stuff like that," Armando said. "Even the local law enforcement, they tell us to do that." 
Recently, Armando said his sister heard a knock on her bedroom window around midnight.
"I'm pretty sure it was" migrants, Armando said. "It's pretty scary."
"We're getting used to it already because, unfortunately, nothing is really being done." he continued.
"And of course, we're grateful for all law enforcement to help us keep protecting and stuff," Armando said. "But I mean, with no laws and rules changing, it just stays the same."

I don't know if this is something you would want because of you being such a busy creature but I had a dribble idea that I thought would be funny and I'm actually not funny enough to write myself but I think you would be...
Might be a good one for Sirius and Harry (+Remus) Saturday?
The idea is that Remus and Harry take Sirius bowling for the first time and ultimately stitch Sirius up:
Letting him use two first fingers not two middle ones, waiting to see how long it takes him to notice
Putting the barriers up and down with magic
Or! Putting invisible barriers up for Remus and Harry and Sirius can't work out how their balls avoid the gutter
'helping' him and then stepping over the line with the sensors so his go is invalid
Forcing him to use the baby Ramo when he is rubbish
Not telling him about the ridiculous slippy shoes
Anyway... I've done this in an ask but PLEASE don't feel like you have to answer it or do anything with it or whatever but I thought ... You might.. like it? 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈
🧡🧡🧡
my lovely friend, this has been here for so long and i deeply apologize, i just wanted to make sure i did it justice. because this is a great prompt. (im going to leave all your bulleted options alone because they're brilliant, but uh...here's what i came up with)
--
There were still giggles from the back seat on the drive home, both Teddy and Harry giddy from junk food and an exciting afternoon at a muggle-bowling alley. Remus turned over in his seat to look at his boys, Teddy's face red from trying to muffle his laughter as Harry mimed something out, stopping when he noticed Remus's gaze.
"Did you two have fun today?" Remus asked innocently.
"Yes! We should go every week, Da!" Teddy exclaimed instantly feet kicking as he smiled. mouth full of holes where teeth used to be.
"My favorite part was when Dad--"
"No," Sirius said quickly, cutting Harry off, and the giggles started yet again. Remus turned back around to look at Sirius, who was white-knuckling the steering wheel, eyes looking determinedly at the road, "We're not going back there, and you're all having early bedtimes tonight."
"No, we're not," Teddy said instantly, and Remus snorted, "'Cause you already promised we could have pudding tonight before we left and that means we stay up. No take-backs!"
"Yeah, no take-backs," Remus confirmed, reaching over to put his hand on the back of Sirius's neck, fingers carding through stray curls that had fallen out of the knot on top of his head, "They probably won't even remember, baby. So many people go there, and it's so busy, they'll forget about it by next week."
"Babe. How often do you think full-grown men go down the lane with the ball stuck to their fingers daily?" Sirius asked, and the laughter exploded from the back seat again, their two boys not even bothering to contain their joy at seeing their father sliding down a bowling alley lane attached to his ball. Remus had to fight against his own laughter, letting it escape in tiny coughs at the memory of his husband sprawled in the middle of the lane, only feeling a little bad that the whole incident had happened because Remus and the boys had spent the entire afternoon preying on Sirius's naivety in a muggle establishment.
No, the holes are supposed to be tight, so you don't drop it, Dad. Harry had said, exchanging a mischievous glance with Remus as Sirius squeezed his fingers into too-small holes.
Yeah, just like that, its your first two fingers.
"I mean, I'm sure it's happened....at least once before," Remus offered, biting down on his lip, "It's just a game, baby, it's just fun--"
"Mhmm."
"You got 42 points!" Harry started, between his giggles, "So you only lost to Teddy by a little! And that's only..." Harry thought for a moment, "only like 10 away from 50!"
Remus could see Sirius roll his eyes behind his sunglasses.
"Need to do some more maths, I see..." Sirius mumbled low enough so Harry couldn't hear before exhaling, "Thanks, my love. I think I'll leave the bowling to all of you for now."
"At least they let you get a strike out of it," Remus shrugged, and by the way, Sirius's jaw moved, Remus could tell he was holding back a dozen swear words and smart quips he wanted to tell Remus.
"You're grounded." Sirius muttered, "No pudding, ever again."
"Sure baby. Whatever you say."
