If the requests are still open, I watched the try guys trying sexy alcohol video recently (The Try Guys Sexy Alcohol Taste Test is the name of the video) and I was laughing the whole time. I was thinking it would be really fun to have the team do it for a social media video if you wanted to write it! :)

I absolutely love the Try Guys and I’ve been watching their videos for years--thank you so much for suggesting this! Sweater Weather credit goes to @lumosinlove and the link to the original video is here

TW for alcohol and lots of sexual references

“I’m so fucking excited for this video,” Finn said, drumming his hands on the table.

Remus gave him a disbelieving look. “You have the lowest alcohol tolerance on the entire team, Harzy. I’d be shocked if you were still awake by the end of this.”

“We’ll find out soon enough!” Marlene announced offscreen. “Do the intro and then we’ll get started.”

“Welcome back to Lion Pride, folks! I’m Finn O’Hara—”

“—and I’m Remus Lupin.”

“Dude, you said I could do the intro.”

“I can’t even say my own name?”

“Boys,” Marlene warned.

Finn cleared his throat and turned back to the camera with a bright smile. “Today we’re tasting sexy alcohol, even though I have no idea what that means!”

The video cut to a different table and James waved to the camera. “Hey, everyone! I’m James Potter, and I’m here today with our wonderful captain Sirius Black to taste test sexy alcohol!”

“What qualifies alcohol as sexy?” Sirius asked. “Is it supposed to turn you on, or something?”

“The names are sexy,” Marlene clarified. “Ready for the first one?”

A title card appeared with Drink 1: Sex on the Beach written in cursive letters.

“Sex on the beach!” Remus and Finn chorused, clinking their glasses together and taking a sip. Remus made a face, while Finn looked thoughtful as he smacked his lips.

“Why is it so sour?” Remus coughed, setting the drink down.

“You’re not a fan of sex on the beach?” Finn teased. “This is always the classy lady drink in movies. It’s not bad, actually.”

James’ face scrunched up as he drank and Sirius went through a whole range of emotions, then tried it again. “It’s not better the second time,” he said. “Just…weird.”

“Much like actual sex on the beach, it’s flat out uncomfortable.” James slid the glass out of reach.

“You’ve had sex on a beach?”

“Haven’t you?”

“No, sand gets everywhere even when I don’t strip down.”

“Ha! Loser.” The video transitioned right as Sirius reached over to smack the back of his head.

Drink 2: Buttery Nipple

“A fucking what?” Remus laughed, leaning toward the camera crew. Marlene repeated the name and he nodded slowly. “Okay, that’s what I thought you said.”

Finn sniffed the shot. “Is that butterscotch?”

“It is,” Marlene said.

“Rad. On three. One, two, three!”

They knocked their shots back at the same time and Remus raised his eyebrows as he swallowed. “That’s really not that bad. Best nipple I’ve ever tasted.”

“Very sweet, I like it,” Finn agreed around his grin.

A smile twitched at the corners of Remus’ mouth. “You like the buttery nipple?”

“I do like the buttery nipple,” Finn snorted, sending them both into peals of laughter.

James stared down at his shot glass, then turned to Sirius and opened his mouth; Sirius reached over and covered it with his palm. “Don’t say it.”

“But it really looks like—”

“I know.” Sirius bit his lip, sighed, and downed the shot. “Y’know, that’s actually pretty good.”

James rolled the empty glass between his fingers. “That would give me a wicked headache in the morning.”

“Oh, yeah, for sure.”

Drink 3: Suck, Bang, Blow

There was a brief pause as Remus and Finn shared a look. “I think that’s the wrong order,” Finn said after a moment.

Remus nodded. “Bang is generally last on the list if you’re doing it right.”

“It also implies that you’re not sucking on the last part, which is just bad blowjob etiquette.”

“Bottoms up.” Remus tapped the rim of their glasses together and took a sip—almost immediately, he spat it back out. “What in the unholy fuck is that?”

“My whole face is itching,” Finn coughed. “Holy shit, there’s so many different types of alcohol in there that is just tastes like straight-up sugar. I would order this at a bar if I was horny and sad and didn’t care who I went home with.”

“Yeah, this is what you get if you want something that’ll fuck you up.” Remus paused for a second, then covered his mouth with his hand. “You know who would drink this?”

“Who?”

“People who live in Florida.”

Finn’s whole face lit up and he dug around in his back pocket, dialing a quick number on his phone before putting it on speaker; it rang twice before connecting. “ ‘Sup, Finner Finner Chicken Dinner?”

Remus’ jaw dropped and Finn rested his forehead on the table. “Thanks for that,” he sighed. “We’re filming a video for Lion Pride right now.”

“Oh, sick!” the voice on the other end said. “Hey Lions!”

“Hi, Alex!” Marlene called.

“I just have a quick question,” Finn continued. “Have you ever heard of a drink called Suck, Bang, Blow?”

“Hell yeah, they’re super popular down here.”

“Called it!” Remus grinned and high-fived Finn. “Thanks, Hazard.”

“Why do you ask?”

“Because if anyone is going to have shitty alcohol, it’s you and your bouncy ice.”

“Hey—”

Finn ended the call and put his phone away once again with a gleeful smile. “He’s never going to hear the end of that.”

Drink 4: Amber Moon

“That’s a lot of whiskey,” James said as a crewman handed them their drinks; Sirius whistled lowly and held it up to the light.

“Why are there red flakes in it?”

“Tabasco sauce,” Marlene said off screen.

James nudged Sirius with his elbow. “I bet I can drink this is ten seconds.”

“Do it in five or you’re a coward.”

“You’re on.” He cleared his throat, then tipped the glass back.

“One, two, three, four, five, six!” Sirius pumped his fists in the air with a whoop.

“You counted too fast!” James protested, giving the camera crew a desperate look. “Marley, he counted way too fast!”

“Looks like…” There was a brief moment of silence. “Five point three four seconds, Pots.”

“Fuck,” he muttered, setting the glass down. “It tasted horrible, by the way.”

The video cut to Remus and Finn, who were eyeing the drink suspiciously. “I’ll bite,” Remus said. “What’s the sexy name for a hot sauce and whiskey monstrosity?”

“Amber Moon.”

“That would be my stripper name,” the two said in unison, then turned to each other with identical gasps.

Drink 5: Blowjob Shot

Sirius looked deeply uncomfortable as he set the shot glass on his lap. “Don’t make this weird.”

“What? The part where I’m putting my face in your lap?” James asked with false innocence as a smile spread over his face.

“Merde,” Sirius muttered, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Just get it over with.”

“That’s a rude thing to say to someone who’s about to give you a blowjob.”

“You’re not giving me a blowjob.”

James raised his eyebrows and Sirius rolled his eyes, kicking him lightly. “Alright, alright. Do you want to go first?”

Sirius leaned forward, paused halfway down, then cursed under his breath and took the shot glass between his lips, knocking it back in a quick motion. James opened his mouth and the first bit of a fake moan slipped through before Sirius tackled him to the ground.

The video cut for a moment—when it returned, they were sitting in their chairs once again, and James looked incredibly smug as he rested his elbows on his thighs. “Ready, hot stuff?”

“You’re the worst person to have as a best friend.”

James didn’t hesitate before wrapping his mouth around the rim of the glass, then made a noise of panic when it didn’t go down his throat right away. His eyes went wide and he cupped his hand under his face, slapping Sirius’ knee with the other.

“Are you okay?” Sirius laughed. “Just—just knock it back, buddy, you can do it.”

James made a muffled sound and the camera crew started snickering off screen as the whipped cream smudged over his nose.

“His eyes are watering,” Sirius cackled. “Oh, this is karma in action. Is it too much? Spitters are quitters, Pots, you can—"

James glared at him, then choked slightly and spat the shot glass and all its contents onto Sirius’ chest. Dead silence fell over the studio, broken only by the steady drip of the liqueur on the paper below their table.

“Does anyone have a napkin?” Sirius asked after a moment, shaking his hands out.

“I am…so sorry,” James said as he wiped his lower lip.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know! It was doomed from the outset, I guess.” He wrinkled his nose. “I can feel it in my sinuses.”

Remus and Finn both downed their shots easily; neither struggled for more than half a second. They were both a little flushed from the alcohol and Finn hiccupped as they turned back to the camera.

“How did you do that so well?” Marlene asked, clearly amused.

“Frat,” Finn said at the same time Remus shrugged and said, “college.”

“Pots spat his all over Sirius.”

“It’s because he’s straight.” Finn hiccupped again and Remus burst out laughing.

Drink 6: Body Shot

“Who are we doing this off of?” James asked. All four men sat at the same table; Sirius had removed his flannel and James’ cheeks were pink from five—well, four and a half—drinks.

“Guess who, bitches!” Kasey grinned as he walked out from behind the backdrop, clad only in his Lions sweatpants. James, Finn, and Remus cheered while Sirius put his head in his hands. “Shit, Cap, you’re doing wonders for my self-esteem.”

“Is this a power imbalance?”

“I’m older than you, now move your elbows so I can lay down.”

The folding table creaked as Kasey laid on his back and all five of them froze for a second until Marlene emerged with salt, lime slices, and a bottle of clear alcohol under her arm. “Do you know how this works?”

Four nods answered her and she carefully poured the tequila into Kasey’s bellybutton—he jolted at the cold and some of it spilled down his sides. “Aw, man, now my pants are damp.”

“Where—” Remus cut himself off with a laugh as he took the salt. “Where do you want us to salt you, Bliz?”

“Wherever your heart desires.” They passed the container down the line, each sprinkling a pinch somewhere on Kasey’s bare chest. “Ready?”

Finn wrinkled his nose as he licked the salt, sipped some tequila, and quickly put the lime wedge in his mouth with a distressed sound. Remus was next, and he barely skimmed his mouth over Kasey’s belly button before shoving the lime between his teeth; James missed his mark completely because Kasey was still laughing, and Sirius got some of it up his nose on accident.

“You guys suck at this,” Kasey managed as he sat up, brushing the leftover salt off his front. “Jesus Christ, have any of you been to a party in your lives?”

All four exploded into indignant protesting and the video transitioned to a final slide. “Thanks for joking us today, Lions!” Marlene said in a voiceover. “Make sure to like and subscribe for more content.”

That Time I Maybe Accidentally Slid Between Universes On The Lower East Side: A Modern Pizza Brigadoon

Okay, we’re trying this again. With the words. Let’s give it a shot.

I was telling this story over the weekend, and it struck me that it’s something I’ve never really written down. But I think it’s worth documenting - you know, for science.

I guess I have to preface this by saying that I’m not the type of person to accept the unexplainable. In the Mulder/Scully matrix of assumptions, I lean much more Scully, assuming that most things have a reasonable explanation once more data is uncovered or known. I say that just so that I can say that one time while on a business trip to New York, I’m pretty sure I drunkenly dropped back and forth between parallel universes Sliders-style while trying to grab a slice.

Right, so let’s set the stage of our merry little fever dream of a play, shall we?

It’s 1:30am and I am drunk.

Wait, let’s be clear: I’m not just “I’m in New York and let’s have some fun” drunk, I’m “we’re at a digital media event and it’s the late oughts” drunk. I think it was the Webbies, but who knows. It could have been social media week or any number of other things. But if you were in the DM scene at the time, you remember (or not…) that any event which brought together the weird crossover between tech, social media, and nascent web video had, at its intersection, going hard in the motherfucking paint, if you get my drift.

The late oughts were where SXSW got its reputation as an epic and riotous shitshow where long term memories went to die. Companies lived and died by the parties they threw way out in the wasteland that was “anywhere off of sixth street.” It set the scene for an arms race of irresponsibility that wouldn’t peter out until about 2012. And New York, being much larger than Austin and with a scrappy underdog of a tech industry, had a reputation to uphold.

So that’s how I find myself at my third after party, in a bar called (I think?) Ford’s, on the lower east side, surrounded by the technorati, glitterati, and all other manner of descriptive terms for young, pretty, newly and soon-to-be rich people, before we discovered that they were called “influencers.”

This bar is a proper dive. Not quite “you could destroy everything in here and you’d be out like fifteen bucks” but still well into “you’re gonna need more than a new paint job once the artisan cheese shops roll into this neighborhood.” Put in 2009 money, we were still getting five dollar beers in Manhattan, so do with that what you will.

Back to the story: right around 1:30AM, I’m thinking three things: 1) I would very much like to slam an inordinate amount of pizza into my mouth, 2) I probably need to use the restroom before I do so, and 3) The four or five people I’m with are probably feeling the same way. So I check in with my crew, tell them I’m gonna hit the head and then we’re gonna hit some pizza. First things first though: I gotta get some crucial info from the bartender.

I saunter up to the bar and ask where I can get a slice. The sole bartender, a man who is both younger and exponentially cooler than me, tells me “New York’s best pizza is two blocks up and one left.”

“New York’s best?” I clarify, because wouldn’t that be a coincidence?

“Yep, New York’s best pizza. Two blocks up, one left.”

Well, I know that everyone thinks they know the best pizza in town, but this dude looks like he’s a perpetual trend setter, so it feels like it has a higher-than-average likelihood of relative goodness. Besides, I’ve assaulted my sense well past the realm of good taste, so as long as it’s not cooked on a literal garbage can, it should serve it’s purpose. I pop the directions into the old memory banks, and wander off through the broken door that indicates relief (and, in retrospect, possibly tetanus.)

True to its dive bar requirements, this restroom is super classy you guys. Just above the pee trough (like an actual six foot long trough that horses would drink out of) (in other circumstances) there’s a mirror where someone has carved “Smoke Beer” - a particular exercise that I contemplate for far too long. Is this a flavor profile of some cheeky new porter? Are they suggesting you replace your bong water with Budweiser? Or is this an actual “get a beaker and some burners and let’s get high in the science lab” situation?

Regardless, my attention turns back to the core mission: Operation Pizza Face Hole Intersection. So I push away the culinary suggestion, zip up, and return to the main room to find…no one.

I don’t mean my friends were gone. I mean that when I left to pee, there was somewhere between 150 and 200 people in this bar, and now there were two. And I was one of them. The other one is a bartender, but very crucially, not the bartender I was just speaking to one or two or five hundred billion minutes ago. This is a new bartender. He’s older. And has a beard. This is very distinctly a different person, but I’m still hung up on the reality that there is no one else in this bar except for him and me.

I look at this new bartender. He looks at me. I look around to see if maybe my friends are hiding behind something, but this place doesn’t even have tables, let alone hiding spaces. I look back. He’s still looking at me. So I do the only logical thing to do in this scenario: I run away.

Outside, I pull out my blackberry (shut up) and call my friends. Voicemail. Every one. No one picks up. I text them “where the fuck are you assholes” but drunkenly, on a keyboard the size of a postage stamp, so they don’t write back, even to clarify whether I just had a stroke.

Something has definitely gone horribly wrong. I am very drunk in a strange part of a strange city. Everyone I know and several dozen complete strangers have been Thanos-snapped into the ether of the universe. I am alone and have no real understanding of how to get home from here. But, you know, I also still really want pizza. So I do the only thing that truly makes sense in this scenario: I start walking towards pizza.

One block up, things start getting weird(er). Now weird in nighttime Manhattan isn’t quite as weird as it used to be, and I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Venice Beach, so my weird meter is a little skewed compared to most people. But it’s as-near-as-matters-2am now and the streets of the lower east side are deserted, except for…

Look, there’s no way to say this without sounding like I’m writing a David Lynch spec, so I’m just gonna say it and you’re gonna have to trust me here.

Directly in front of me there is a group of a dozen or so seven to ten year old girls playing double dutch in the middle of the street. A totally normal sight at 2pm - less so at 2am. There are no adults here. Or anywhere. Except me. And right as I notice them, they notice me. They don’t stop their monotone chanting, they just continue to do so while swiveling their heads to follow me like a leopard follows a [whatever leopards eat - I’m not looking it up on Wikipedia right now.]

So once again: empty streets in the LES, except for me and a gaggle of girls wielding a pair of twin jump ropes. And chanting. I briefly wonder if they’re okay and why they’re out here all along performing what’s starting to sound more and more like some pagan ritual before I keep fucking walking because there’s no scenario in which any good comes from me stopping and hanging around. But I start thinking that I need a witness here.

The blessing of living in California and spending a lot of time in New York is actually time. More specifically, that you can call your girlfriend at what’s almost your 2AM and she’ll still be up and wondering what the absolute fuck you’re talking about when you open with “I hope I didn’t wake you but everyone disappeared and I’m kind of scared because there’s this creepy group of girls playing double dutch but I think it’s going to be alright because I’m walking to get pizza.”

We’d been together for a while at that point, so thankfully I’d build up a reservoir of good graces to pull from in moments like these.

Witness achieved, I told her precisely (ish) where I was, so the police could find my body, and continued my Epic Pizza Quest. Two blocks up, and one block left, where I found…

New York’s Best Pizza. That’s the goddamned name. Motherfucking hipster bartenders.

It’s open, for some reason, and empty for good reason, but after some back and forth that includes “well I don’t have any and I’d have to make a full pizza” and “I understand but I don’t want a full fucking pizza, I just want a slice” I get a couple slices and, for lack of anything better to do, decide to head back to Ford’s.

Now you might be asking yourself, dear reader, why I would march back through a fae revelry towards a crack in the universe, and that’s a very good question. The answer is that I was very drunk at the time.

So back I went.

The children were still there, still playing double dutch. (In my memory of this, they’re doing everything slowly and in a minor key, but it’s likely they were normal speed and tone, and I was just perceiving things slowly for chemical reasons.) My phone comes out again and I subtly (HA) narrate my way through this gauntlet to my girlfriend (and for the police report) and back towards the bar/Tardis.

Which brings us to our climax. See, there’s something even more disconcerting than leaving a restroom to find an erstwhile packed bar with naught but tumbleweeds, and that’s coming back to the deserted bar and finding it full again. Like packed full. Like normal full. Like Digital Media Event after party full. You know, like you remembered it pre-restroom (which is as weird a sentence to type as it is, I imagine, to read.)

I immediately run into my friends, who not only know nothing at all about the empty bar, but proclaim that they’ve been looking for me for “like an hour.” They’ve called and texted me, they say, which is ludicrous because I’ve been using my phone and I would have…

I looked at my phone. I had seven missed calls. A dozen texts. None of which were on my phone when I used it just moments ago, but all of which were timestamped over the past hour-ish.

I call my girlfriend again. Please pick up.

“Did you just talk to me and did I just tell you about everyone disappearing and the bar being totally empty and the weird creepy double dutch girls and getting into an argument with the pizza guy at New York’s Best Pizza?” I shouted into the phone, to the absolute horror of my friends (who were probably wondering what legal obligations they had to return me to my hotel and/or the insane asylum before I hurt myself.)

“Yes…” she responded, probably wondering what obligations she had to guide me to my hotel and/or the insane asylum before I hurt myself.

“Good!” I shouted, and promptly hung up, having proven my sanity, but really testing the depths of that aforementioned reservoir of goodwill. She would later tell me that somehow the second phone call was weirder than the first.

Moving past my friends, I stormed back into the bar. The bartender (the first one, the hipster one, the human one) clocked me coming in, but before he could open his mouth to ask what was probably going to be a very friendly question about whether I found the pizza place, or did I want to close out the tab I’d left open, instead got to be on the receiving end of me shouting “You sent me to a really fucking weird pizza place!” before marching out the door; thus cementing my reputation as a gifter of bizarre and inexplicable social interactions, and the probable punchline to someone else’s very different story.

For the rest of the week, my friends would swear up, down, sideways, sober, and drunk that no, the bar did not empty out; no, this was not a prank; no, they didn’t see me leave; and yes, they were in the very full and active bar the entire time I was gone.

It’s ten years later, and I don’t have an explanation for this event. I wouldn’t say it haunts me, but it’s definitely one of the weirder things that’s ever happened to me. And weirder still, in writing down this modern pizza-driven Brigadoon, I looked up Ford’s and New York’s Best Pizza just to see if I remembered their names right - and I can’t find any trace of either of them.

I’m still with the same girlfriend, and she still remembers the phone calls (vividly), but no one else was actually there, so no one else can verify the very weird set of events and circumstances that happened late that night, and into the early morning, across a series of overlapping universes.

Somewhere, out there in the ether of the multiverse, I imagine one version of me is still wondering where everyone went and yearning for a slice of New York’s Best Pizza.

Welcome Home | Carlisle Cullen x female reader

Pairing / Ship: Dad!Carlisle Cullen x Adopted!Vampire!Female reader

Featuring: The entire Cullen family

Words: 1.4k

Category: Fluff, Vanilla, One Shot

Warning: Reader nearly dying/falling from a cliff

Summary: You’re a rogue newborn vampire trying to run from the authorities. When you enter the territory of the Olympic coven, Carlisle is the one to take you under his wing. 

Author’s Note: This was super fun to write! Thank you for the request <3

Branches snapped under your feet, leaves rustled as you moved through the forest foliage. Tree logs formed nothing but a simple blockade in your path as you swiftly jumped over them. Every now and again you turned a sharp corner and changed your direction. You were running. You had been running for quite some time, maybe a month or three. Ever since someone turned you into a vampire you had deserted your hometown, now all you have ever known was the wind in your hair and the road you walked. It was a lonesome way of living you figured, but it was necessary to keep the people save from you. Or rather not you, but what you had become. 

The chilled wind cut your cheeks, making you clench your jaw. You tried to ignore it, you were used to it you told yourself. As you entered the edge of the forest you contemplated. Continue along the edge or jump over the raging river and pursue your path there. You were fast, and so was your mind in reaching a decision. 

With squinted eyes, you focused on the other edge across the river, you leaped, and then jumped. You flew across the river and landed on the other riverbank side in a perfected crouching position. You looked back to check if no one was following you, and smiled when you saw no one. You didn’t know where you were going yet, all you knew at this moment was to create as much distance between your last stop and the next to avoid suspicion from the authorities. With your hair bouncing on your back you continued your sprint through the woods. 

Suddenly you saw a figure appear briefly next to you, on your left. It was equally as fast as you, even a little faster. You frowned, could it be another vampire? You had to get out of here, better be safe and alive than sorry and dead. You fastened your pace, surely you could shake this vampire. You weren’t even sure if it was a vampire, for all you know it’s some animal. 

But animals don’t walk on their hind legs, nor do they have shiny blond hair. Another quick snap flashed before your eyes of the vampire clearly chasing you.  You inched your speed up another notch, but you could not go any faster than this.  You kept running even when you felt the vampire tailing you from behind. Why were they chasing you? 

That question would soon be answered as you took one too many wrong turns and ended up at a clearing on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the sea and the beach. You were screwed. You sighed out sharply and bat down onto your teeth. 

‘’Fuck me..’’

You said to yourself in a hushed voice. You turned around, ready to face whomever was hunting you.

It was a man, you guessed of middle age. He had shiny blond hair as you saw earlier, with lightly pale skin and beautiful amber golden eyes. He was dressed a little professional, a blazer worn over a blouse paired with neat pants and classy shoes. He stared at you, a mixture of curiosity and concern written over his face. You nodded towards him. 

‘’Who are you, what do you want from me?’’ 

The man took a step forward to which you took a step backwards. You were careful, crouched down a little, ready to sprint away when the opportunity would arise. 

‘’My name is Carlisle Cullen, you may have heard of me but-.. I’m the leader of the Olympic coven.’’ 

You mentally damned yourself to hell and back. Covens usually were dangerous, crossing their paths or entering their territory without permission would lead to well.. death. And you just entered their land. You heard the stories of unmannered vampires running around in the territory of well known, respectable vampire covens. Usually they were killed and burned so fast they couldn’t even think about apologizing. The man, however, made no such moves just yet. So you took a chance. 

‘’Listen, I really didn't know you guys were here, I’m only passing by on my way to another town and I'm not looking for-’’ 

Carlisle had cut you off by shaking his head, waving off the apology with his hands. He took another step closer, and you again, took another step backwards. Just because he wasn’t gonna kill you now doesn’t mean he will try it later. 

‘’I’m not here to kill you. I’m here to help you.’’ 

You frowned, help you how? Most covens don’t accept outside members. You’d either have to be formally invited or undergo some sort of test. Carlisle looked at you, no sign of anger or rage or even aggression. He was calm, collected. You were slightly intrigued. You have never heard of a coven just taking in any stray vampire they come across. Most of them are very selective on who they invite. You’d either have to be a really old, skilled vampire or possess some sort of supernatural ability. You had once heard of a vampire who could electrocute people by touching them. 

‘’I don’t have any powers I’m afraid, and I’m quite young.’’ 

‘’I think you do. That sprint back there? I’ve never seen anyone maneuver through the woods the way you did. You know how to move, which road is the best to take.’’ 

You felt a mild blush appear on your cheeks but you screamed at yourself not to loose focus. This could all be a trap. Carlisle carefully took another step closer to you. You took one more step, if you took another you would fall off the cliff to your probable death. You swallowed hard. Carlisle raised his arms, trying to come across as peaceful. 

‘’How do I know I can trust you?’’ 

‘’I am here to help you, I promise.’’

‘’This could all be a trick that you set up to capture and ki-’’

You didn’t finish the word kill or the ground beneath your feet crumbled away. You felt yourself fall with nothing to hold onto you. You squeezed your eyes shut. Any moment now you expected to hit the rocks, or the ground, or the sea. But instead you felt yourself linger in the air. A frown appeared on your face as you opened your eyes. Beneath you you saw the roaring sea clashing against a group of sharp rocks. You looked up and saw Carlisle hunched over the edge, holding onto your arm, a worried look on his face. 

‘’Trust me now?’’ 

You quickly nodded due to the fear and relief, immediately feeling very sorry for not trusting him sooner. Carlisle pulled you over the edge, and checked if you didn’t have any wounds. You thanked him for saving you, and he replied that it was okay. You helped each other up on your feet and he took you to his house where his family would greet you. With an arm over your shoulder he guided you into his home, up a pair of stairs and into the living room.

‘’Attention everyone, we have a new member joining us.’’ 

Everyone’s heads turned to yours. The first person you noticed in the room was a kind looking woman with beautiful brown hair and soft eyes. She introduced herself as Esme, Carlisle’s wife. Then came their adopted sons; the blond haired Jasper, the tall and buff Emmett and the handsome but mysterious Edward. Each of them shook your hand as you told them your name. You wondered if this was all to the olympic coven and at that moment, two girls appeared in the living room. 

‘’Y/N this is-’’ 

‘’Yes, Carlisle, we can introduce ourselves, we’re not idiots.’’

The blonde girl said. You chuckled, you liked her spunk. She introduced herself as Rosalie, and the other girl was named Alice. Everyone had given you a warm welcome to the coven and you were amazed with how close everyone seemed to be with one another. 

‘’Carlisle..’’ 

At the sound of his name coming from you, he quickly turned around. 

‘’Is it alright if I, ehm-.. call you ‘Dad’ instead of ‘Carlisle’?’’

You asked carefully. You didn’t want to make things awkward or offend him or anything, but you felt more comfortable calling him this. He smiled and gave you a sideways hug, placing a soft kiss on your temple. 

‘’Of course that’s alright, Y/N.’’

The Masked Singer Season 6 Costumes (Ranking & Opinions/Guesses)

Hello everyone! We are back baby! Welcome (or welcome back) to Ana's Masked Singer recap, where I, Ana, talk about this not so little show called The Masked Singer, not sure if you have heard of it lol. IT’S SEASON 6 TIME EVERYONE, which means that when a new season is upon us, we gotta rate some costumes (hey, I do make the rules, and that’s a special tradition we do here in case you are new… if you are new, hi, welcome, have a seat, get a cookie, some dinner, whatever you would like, and relax we are about to go on a ride of sorts with costumes). Having said that, let’s get started!

Preface: The show will air September 22 and 23 as a two night premiere and costumes are being revealed little by little at the moment (When I am writing this, idk how many contestants there will be in total so this might be more than 1 part long)

Preface over… introducing the new costumes! *INITATE DRUMROLL PLEASE*

1. Banana Split 🍌🍨

Thoughts: It’s a cute idea ngl…. It kinda makes me sad that there was already a banana costume and an ice cream costume and they just kinda put it together, but it’s still an adorable idea. I love pair costumes on the show, so this is very cute, the cartoon nature of it is super fun.

Prediction: (I am gonna put a prediction on who I think it could be, like whether it’s an athlete, musician, a pair of siblings, a couple, etc.) I think they are a couple, probably married or played a married couple on TV… I am also gonna dream cast this for fun: my dream cast for Banana Split would be either Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard or Fran Drescher and Charles Shaughnessy (who played Fran and Max on The Nanny, who were love interests/a married couple on the show)

First Clue: 3 pair of 🎲 with the numbers adding to 6

Rating: 10/10

2. Hamster 🐹

Thoughts: it’s soooo fluffy and cute omg I love it… I really hope this is a good singer because I just love this costume, it is too cute to be sent home the first week (I’m looking at you Gremlin). Everything about this costume is so cool and whimsical, any child (and me) would go crazy for the hamster.

Prediction: My brain automatically goes to an athlete who can sing (hopefully) but from experience with the show, this seems like an athlete would be under this mask… but another part of me thinks it might be an actor, so I am torn between the 2: actor or athlete (hopefully who can sing ok)… probably male I predict. Dream cast actor wise would be Jack Black and athlete wise I have no idea because I know close to nothing about sports and I don’t wanna embarrass myself here with names

First Clue: A whistle

Rating: 10/10!

3. Cupcake 🧁

Thoughts: This is a costume I have been waiting for a while… I love I so much. It reminds me of the cupcake float from Victorious (if anyone knows that reference I applaud you) and I really love it honestly.

Prediction: An actress or/and singer (female), I low key want it to be like one of the actresses I grew up on like anyone who used to be on Nickelodeon or Disney Channel… so my dream cast would be between Liz Gillies (who played Jade on Victorious), Victoria Justice (Tori also on Victorious) or Sabrina Carpenter (from Girl Meets World on Disney Channel)

First Clue: 🧭 pointing North

Rating: 10/10!

4. Mallard (Duck) 🦆

Thoughts: Wow, this one is really dope and dapper looking, it kind of reminds me of Giraffe from season 4, I really like the look of it. Also, I heard from the preview that he can sing a mean country song, so I’m excited, I hope he’s good, fingers crossed.

Prediction: From what Robin Thicke said in the preview, perhaps a country singer or an actor who can sing country. My dream cast would probably be Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, or LeAnn Rimes’s husband (who was on that Netflix show about country music so I guess he can do a country song idk) Eddie Cibrian

First Clue: Red telephone ☎️

Rating: 10/10

5. Dalmatian 🐶

Thoughts: This one is also pretty cool, I really hope someone in sports isn’t under there because that would be way too predictable… it reminds me of last season’s Bulldog mask which ended up being Nick Cannon… but like cooler for some reason

Prediction: I’m gonna go off the cuff here (since those kind of responses work for this show lol) and I think it might be a rapper of some sort, similar to like Frog or Chameleon. My dream cast for this one would probably be Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg (lolll get it… probably not tho), or Chance the Rapper

First Clue: Eagles 🦅

Rating: 9/10

6. Octopus 🐙

Thoughts: This is my first time seeing the octopus, since it was just revealed today… but I really like the vibe, even though it is a bit of an unconventional twist on an octopus. I like the idea of an octopus for this season since so many international versions have it and the American one really needed it. It’s cool ngl, I was hoping for more of an authentic octopus tentacle thing instead of just the pants but it is cool regardless

Prediction: I think this is a male actor or singer, someone a bit older or someone popular from the 80s or 90s. I am in between like a member of Boyz 2 Men, Ted Danson, or Lance Bass for a dream cast.

First Clue: Cookie 🍪 dunked in milk 🥛

Rating: 8/10

7. Bull 🐂

Thoughts: I really like what Masked Singer did with the bull, making it look like a Spanish matador which is super cool and also ironic in a funny way. It looks really cool, kinda reminds me of the Dragon from season 4. I like it a lot tbh.

Prediction: I think this might be a male actor or musician… I am thinking similar my prediction to Octopus, either older or popular from the 80s-90s. Again, dream cast wise, I would say someone from Boyz 2 Men, AJ McClain from Backstreet Boys, or like a legend like Paul McCartney

First Clue: Lions and Tigers

Rating: 9/10

8. Queen of Hearts 🫀

Thoughts: It’s a dope costume, but the one eye and the mouth is kinda creepy looking tbh. I do like the idea of an actual heart with a crown being the Queen of Hearts instead of like a similar thing to Alice in Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts.

Prediction: Probably a female actress or TV personality (probably from reality TV perhaps), age wise I am not too sure but it might be a shorter girl. Dream cast wise I would say Liza Koshy, Nicole Richie, or Paris Hilton.

First Clue: Horses

Rating: 8/10

9. Baby 👶🏼

Thoughts: Damn, that’s a creepy baby and Masked Singer confirmed on Instagram that it was their biggest costume yet, which their previous biggest one was 7 feet, so a huge baby makes it even more terrifying like wow! However, having said that, part of me is pretty intrigued to see who the hell is under this mask. I’m sure they cannot sing tho…

Prediction: My mind straight goes to an male athlete because that would be so funny and kind of a troll on Masked Singer’s part… and that’s most of the big people we have seen thus far. So, dream cast wise, you are allowed to laugh at me but my mind immediately went to Shaq (Shaquille O’Neal) because he’s huge and if you are gonna go big for someone, it would be for Shaq.

First Clue: "This pacifier sucker never claimed to be classy, especially when I get gassy"

Rating: 6/10

10. Beach Ball 🏖

Thoughts: Yeah, there is no way a human could fit in that thing, but it’s cool regardless… I also saw that it has two faces. That’s super interesting to me honestly, it reminds me of Snail from last season who ended up being a Muppet, so this is a bit reminiscent of that. I like it, this is the most intriguing one thus far.

Prediction: As I kind of hinted at in my thoughts, I feel like this is a Muppet or puppet of some kind, round two! There might be more than one puppet in there because of the two faces, but I am gonna assume one for dream cast reasons, I really want it to be Miss Piggy because it would be funny with Kermit being there last season.

First Clue: 2 band-aids shaped like an X

Rating: 8/10

That’s it for part 1! Stay tuned for part 2 for more costumes and predictions! See you guys then! 👋🏼

* This post was edited on September 13th to add the 1st clues from the sneak peak episode that aired on September 12th but even though some of my thoughts have changed (especially with Queen of Hearts), I will not be changing them and I can elaborate better when the episode airs *

OCT Days 12 - 15

Day 12 Woke up to a notice from Geico that an accident was reported involving my car in Oakland, which as far as I know is in storage in San Francisco… A few calls later and mystery solved: it was my ex’s Ford Explorer that I used to drive and was on my policy until he donated it to a radio station in Sacramento last year. I thought radio stations scrapped those cars but I guess sometimes they sell them for super cheap at auction, so whoever bought it got hit and didn’t have insurance and the claim got linked to me, the last policy holder. Kinda happy the Exploder made it back to the east bay but I can’t believe it’s still on the streets…I drove it until all the doors stopped working and a second fraudulent smog was hanging over my head. My friend Buddy at Public Storage seemed offended by the idea that he would let anything happen to my car. Don’t take it personally, Buddy! I’m just glad I don’t have to find a new ride the weekend before driving to Maine, as badly as I want a lime green Kia Soul.

Mix of beach, trail, and road walking today and we happened to see some whales as we passed through Depoe Bay. So many animals spotted on this trip, I always forget how much I love this. A biker passed us in a sketchy spot on the shoulder of 101 and stopped to talk about the trail. This guy was desperate to chat and we really had to shrug him off at the hiker/ biker camp tonight. So many lonely men out here, why can’t they befriend each other and leave us alone?

Day 13 10 mile beach walk to Newport, where we’re staying at Zoey’s dad’s cousin’s beach house for two nights. Late lunch at the South Beach Fish Market, another cool and crusty full service seafood shack off 101. We saw the bus pull into the tiny gravel parking lot as we walked up, and as Zoey says, if the bus stops there you know it’s a spot. I had fried shrimp and scallops (scallops so goooood) and Z had fish and chips. Some guy asked me where we were backpacking from because his daughter had guessed Europe, so we must look pretty fucking chic for not having washed our clothes in 10 days 💅🏻

At Fred’s house, came in from the rain and washed our clothes and had a little steam + shower (yup!). Z and I got into bed and stared at our phones while we waited for our friend Erin to arrive, who flew in from SF to finish out the trail with us. If you don’t know Erin she’s extremely classy and athletic and for some reason keeps agreeing to join us on trips that are a little…rough around the edges. Like Thanksgiving 2019 when an innocent backpacking trip in Joshua Tree turned into a two day tour of the Salton Sea w/ stops in Bombay Beach, Slab City, Salvation Mountain and East Jesus - places I first visited with my dad and where he eventually ended up living for a few years. A tour of art and alternative living in some spookier desert locales…heaven for me and Z…Erin, not so much 👀 Always a good sport though 😉

Cute abandoned cafe I want to buy

Day 14 Breakfast burritos and Dutch Bros Coffee in Newport this morning. Zoey and I got some highly caffeinated sugary shit (I ordered a blended “Jelly Donut” - the natural escalation of my Red Bull obsession) and Erin got an unsweetened green tea (huh?? 🤨). The fourteen year old working the drive-thru couldn’t be bothered and I loved her for it. Young people who give zero fucks are my favorite, even (especially?) the ones who are faking it. I love when they act like little robots, all stonefaced and monotone, like you must be the most mind-numbingly dull person on earth. It’s so easy to make yourself feel like an idiot when interacting with strangers (like when a barista says “enjoy your drink” and you say “you too” 🙄), so it’s a relief when my stupidity is assumed right off the bat. Weird mix of feelings - I simultaneously respect the commitment to the transactional nature of our encounter/the rejection of the customer is always right attitude and still want to break the fourth wall between us somehow… It’s like when somebody you love is being a helpless grouch and for some reason it’s really funny and you want to put your arm around them and squeeze them until they have no choice but to acknowledge you. Cute aggression is so real.

Red Bull > Jelly Donut > BuzzBalls?

Fred Meyer resupply again, then drove to Cape Perpetua in Erin’s rental car for the scenery and a baby hike. Picked up Thai for dinner before returning the car at the world’s tiniest airport and walking back to Fred’s along 101 in the rain with takeout in hand. I was afraid of walking on the highway at the beginning of this trip but now it makes me feel like a self-righteous pedestrian badass. At any moment I’m prepared to yell scathing and thought-provoking lines after drivers who honk or otherwise question our right to the road. Even better if they drive away too fast to hear me and I’m left screaming into the dust like a madwoman. Every road should have a sidewalk.

Day 15 Laughably short hiking day for reasons too boring to explain, two miles along the beach to our next camp. We had a lot of beer with us and nothing to do so we started drinking at noon and ordered Dominos delivery to our RV park. Waiting for our pizza man in the park clubhouse, Erin and I picked out trash romance novels from the library to read at the beach (Zoey got the one decent book in the joint, about 60s hippies who traveled the “hippie trail” east through India, Iran, Afghanistan and more in search of drugs and a ~spiritual experience~). Nice beach weather for once and we lazed around all afternoon eating pizza and reading. Sobered up around the campfire. A spooky little girl imprinted on me and came around to scold us about hanging food from a tree.

Fight me!!!!

Just because I’m unemployed doesn’t mean I have to give up on my boss fantasies…

Mileage: 38

lily liveblogs BBC Atlantis 1x02, “A Girl By Any Other Name” (first half)

I actually watched this months ago, but I got interrupted about halfway through, and then there was a global pandemic and I lost my groove. This got super-long, so I’m gonna post it in two parts.

Thanks to @girlwhowasntthere for her help in making sure I could see it, and also for pointing out that Ariadne draws a stone in the first episode (which I totally missed!) so she's not just resting on her privilege there. Good for her!

In the pilot, we were introduced to Atlantis through the eyes of Jason, a dude from our world who has surprising connections to this city of dragons and despots that nobody *cough ORACLE cough* wants to tell him about. But he's managed to pick up two new friends - gruff-but-not-so-secretly soft Hercules, and Pythagoras (yes, that one) - as well as a love interest, an ominous enemy, and Not Die several times in exciting and dramatic ways.

Based on the teaser, it looks like the show is about to introduce another female character, which I am super-excited about, even though the name "Medusa" brings up All Kinds of Questions.

(cut for length and for lots and lots of botanical confusion)

Forest at night. Woman running through the woods while something ominous chases her. Are there forests in Atlantis? I don't remember seeing any in the surrounding wide shots when Jason first showed up from the beach. Where the hell is this supposed to be?

(Side note because I am a Certified Plant Nerd: Where was this FILMED? I'm gonna guess England because BBC and also the leaves look SUPER TEMPERATE, there are definitely maples in there.)

Woman collapses and the camera focuses on her bracelet, which I am sure will be significant later on. We don't hear anything, she starts to get up and I brace myself for a jump scare.

She's got a necklace, too, and I wonder if that's a Plot MacGuffin or if she just has good taste in jewelry.

Ok, so we see her pursuer sneaking up on her, and she turns, and we see it for the first time from her POV and... it's a cave troll! Or something very much like it. She screams, we go to credits.

None of the credits are backwards this time, and I'm so relieved because THAT WAS ANNOYING.

I like the juxtaposition of the ocean and the ruins, then the view of the city, because this show is called ATLANTIS, which implies it's really about the city as a whole (or the city as a character) rather than Jason, even though Jason is the protagonist and audience surrogate.

There are some mountains in the background that look like they COULD  have forests, and I will reserve judgement until I see the sets in the daylight, but those mountains look like they ought to be chapparral or the local equivalent, NOT the kind of forest shown in the opening. I'm just saying. I have strong opinions about flora and I will share them.

I am so curious where Atlantis is supposed to be, but I think it's Crete? I'm going with Crete for now until I get more information.

Jason is tossing rocks into a pool because... he's just that bored? Missing the Internet? He's wearing a leather tunic thing and not shirtless, but I'm sure he'll lose it by the end of the episode.

He hears something and gets up and sneaks up on the person coming in the doorway, but I already know it's either Hercules or Pythagoras, and most likely Herc, so I am not surprised when it's Herc. Herc is late AND drunk and Jason is pissed. Apparently, he and Herc are working as security guards for a rich merchant?? (So that answers my question about how they're making money and paying the rent!!)

Jason runs to the Oracle's temple because he's in dire need of Cryptic Exposition and also a Greater Purpose in Life and where better to acquire a Noble Destiny?

"You should not be here," says the Oracle, which is just a classy way of saying GTFO.

"I need answers," Jason demands.

LOL, not happening, dude. She only deals in Cryptic Sayings, not answers. (Although kinda ironic given that the Delphic Oracle’s motto was “Know Thyself”.)

Jason mentions that the minotaur dude claimed he had a great destiny and you can just see the Oracle rolling her eyes, and be all, And you believed him?? LOL.

But Jason DOES  have a destiny, even though it doesn't feel like it so the Oracle has to explain that this, too, is also a part of his destiny, and he should just lean into the suck.

Jason calls bullshit. Oracle explains she's trying to protect him, and "all will become clear", mic drop. Jason walks away bummed, but it's DESTINY for him to be confused right now, and I am sure he will have some sort of Character Development about this by the end of the episode.

Herc fell asleep on the job and wakes up to being licked by a goat, which is probably not the most undignified thing that will happen to him in this episode. Also, somebody stole his keys and robbed the thing he was supposed to be guarding, so I'm sure this will end well.

Cut to Herc trying to explain this to Pythagoras, and Pythagoras is calling bullshit. Pythagoras notes the goat slobber and does the best eyeroll to Jason, I love him.

(Hercules is like the roommate from HELL here. How did he and Pythagoras end up rooming together in the first place?)

There's a knock on the door, but it's not the angry merchant, it's the CALL TO ADVENTURE... an old man who's heard that they killed the Minotaur and wants help locating his daughter. I'm picturing an Atlantis version of Sherlock Holmes starring Pythagoras and Jason and it's awesome.

Herc does not want to touch this with a ten foot pole but Jason is bored and eager to help, and so Herc is going to get dragged into this whether he likes it or not. He tries to reject it on the grounds of money, but it doesn't work. The old man talks about his "duty as a father" to make sure his kid is safe, and that's all he needs to say to get Jason on board, because Daddy Issues.

Jason and a new female character, Corinna, are in the palace, trying to be stealthy and they run into Ariadne, which is... awkward. Jason tries to explain, and Ariadne says it's forbidden for Jason to be here... why? Because he's a man? Because he's a stranger? Because he's on Minos's personal shit list? I need some context here.

Jason quizzes Celandine, a kitchen worker, and learns that Demetria, the missing girl, went to the forest to gather herbs and was never seen again. I don't understand what Corinna's role in all this is , but she persuades Celandine to help Jason out by showing him the place where Demetria went.

Time for another marketplace chase! This time it's the merchant after Herc. Meanwhile, Celandine takes Jason to a forest that's super-arid and looks nothing like the one we saw in the opening. There's rock outcroppings in the background, too. No leaf litter at ALL. All dry ever greens... and then a wide shot showing a hill that looks like chapparral, with a series of mountains beyond THAT that look more temperate and have actual snow capped peaks and those are NOT IN THE CREDITS, NONE OF THIS GEOGRAPHY MAKES ACTUAL SENSE, BUT FINE.

Also, it makes zero sense that Minos would send kitchen servants to the forest WAY outside the city limits... wouldn't it be easier for everyone if they sent special people to do that and the kitchen just picked them up or bought them from poorer folk who did? Where are the roads? Are there any surrounding villages and encampments outside the walls? Shepherds watching their flocks? A road? How do the servants know where to go? What stops them from running away? Etc. Etc.  I HAVE QUESTIONS, OKAY?

Cut to them in a different forest - still evergreen trees, but a different kind. Looks like a plantation. Everything is too neat and open and in rows. There's greenery, but no sign of any herbs or really any kind of understory. LOL.

Are we there yet? Jason wants to know.

These woods are rich with herbs, Celandine says, and I can't tell if she's being ironic or not because I DO NOT SEE ANY, THERE IS NOTHING BUT CONIFERS HERE, CONIFERS ARE NOT HERBS (though they can have medicinal uses!). Then she adds "If you know where to look" and pulls a knife to stab an unsuspecting Jason while he's looking at the ground, so I guess that answers that question.

(For the record, Celandine is a toxic plant that is actually native to n. Africa, and the Mediterranean and western Asia, so I kinda saw that coming from the name and also the ominous music and close-ups of her face.)

Jason wises up in time to Not Get Stabbed, and Celandine runs away. Jason chases after her, and I saw some FERNS this time in the chase scene, but again NO LEAVES or much in the way of forest diversity at all. Celandine drinks something that looks like poison and dies while Jason is interrogating her. The troll-creature lurks in the woods.

Pythagoras IDs the poison as hemlock. (LOL, of course he would know!) The only reason he doesn't mention that it killed Socrates is probably because Socrates hasn't been born yet, but I am sure the writers were tempted. Jason fell asleep in World History, and also every Literature class ever, because he has no idea what a thyrsus is, or who Dionysus and the maenads are, so Pythagoras and Herc get to explain for the audience! Apparently, the satyrs kill any men who crash their clubhouse, so that's what the troll thing is, I guess?

So apparently the maenads just kidnap girls to join their cult? This is not how I remember it, but okay, fine, let's have the all-female religion be EVIL for DRAMA. Does this mean the trio's going to cross-dress?

Demetria (?) is trying to dig her way out of cell, only to get called to a Secret Evil Ceremony that involves blood, chanting, and tearing apart a dude with their bare hands. Oh, wait, no, they just toss him to the cave trolls (LITERALLY LURKING IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND), which is easier to show on network TV, I guess.

Jason breaks the news to Demetria's father, and he's... aghast. "I won't allow it!" he cries. The show has not explained why it's a bad thing to be a maenad... aside from the whole killing people bit, but I mean, the king kills people all the time in the name of the gods, what makes this any different? (I mean, Minos's evil, but still! He's in charge!) Why can't Demetria be a maenad and still work in the palace and visit her dad? Isn't that what Celandine did?? I AM SO CONFUSED.

Also: father trying to control his daughter's actions is historically accurate, but sits poorly with me, even though she WAS kidnapped in this case and doesn't want to be there. But what if she wasn't? So far the show hasn't explained to me why EVERY WOMAN wouldn't want to be a maenad. Hanging out in the woods without any men and a lot of intoxicants sounds... way better than almost anything else they could be doing.

The old man collapses in grief and Pythagoras is also a healer, because he makes an infusion of what sounds like "Magnolia remenalis" (??). Which is odd because that genus is located in the Americas and eastern Asia, and even assuming trade routes from China are a Thing here, that wouldn't likely be a part of the typical pharmacopeia, especially if Pythagoras has no money...? And I know there are a bajillion species of magnolia, but I've never heard of this... and would he call it by a Latin binomial anyway? But if it's not that, what is he TALKING about? THIS IS WHY I HATE WATCHING THINGS WITHOUT SUBTITLES.

The old man guilts Jason into going after Demetria, of course, thanks to Daddy Issues. Herc is pissed, especially when he realizes they put the old man in his bed. I love Pythagoras's little smile when he explains that Herc is in charge of their guest, since he's not going on the Mission of Certain Doom!

Herc is so predictable, lol. He brings up the prospect of faking his own death to get out of his debts, and I CANNOT HELP BUT WONDER if this is going to be relevant later on. Like... faking your death so the maenads don't find you, perhaps? And changing your name??

(dear writers, if you don't want me to guess your plot twist, please don't PUT THE WHAM LINE IN THE TEASER, kthanx.)

OH MY GOD THIS IS THE SAME FOREST WHERE THEY FILMED THE FIGHT SCENE IN THE FORCE AWAKENS ISN'T IT? I *RECOGNIZE* THIS PLACE!!

(yup, definitely England. Puzzlewood, almost for certain.)

Of course, the most appropriate way to spend the night is to make a fire, eat soup, and tell ghost stories about maenads first, right? Right. The forests rustle. There's a cave troll stalking them. (Yes, it's supposed to be a satyr, but it looks like a cave troll from LOTR, okay??) He tosses something in the food, which probably means it will only impact Hercules, lol. Hallucinations, maybe??

Why anyone would trust Herc with night watch given his track record, ESPECIALLY these two, I don't know, but PLOT.

Yep, definitely the old mine in Puzzlewood. I'd bet money on it.

Herc follows a woman who looks like an elf from LOTR, lol... but it's a satyr in drag. (Or a hallucination?) IDK why everyone is making a big deal about the maenads when they mostly just stand around and let the male satyrs handle everything.

RUN, HERC, RUN! He's rescued by... Demetria, who also wants to get away. Somehow the satyrs don't see them? *shrug*

Demetria uses Herc's knife and cuts herself and walks out with a bloody mouth, claiming the satyrs killed Herc and she drank his blood... I mean, won't the satyrs call her on it?? But the ruse works and she leaves with them.

Meanwhile, Jason and Pythagoras slept through the entire night without incident, and I just... the satyrs KNOW THERE ARE THREE OF THEM. How come they didn't just slaughter them in their sleep, or at least attack them??

Also, if the satyrs only eat human flesh, how does the ecosystem even WORK? How many of them are there?? How often do they eat? Are they omnivores or obligate carnivores? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

[the-slushie-monster]

(For the fandom ask thing!) ✿ ☂ ✦ ✈ ▶⌂

Ok so, Fluffy headcanon!: I had this one where the conductor and DJ grooves slowly become friends to lovers and emotionally bond bc of their pasts and their passion! And they work on a movie together!! (I mean that's technically two but like, soo cute!)

Angsty headcanon: I had this one with MoonJumper having trouble being himself and the way he wants to be because of his looks and past behavior that people assumed as truth, but was made up completely. So he wants to be a loyal friend to Bow kid, but everyone is frightened of MJ due to the false rumors and they try to keep bow away from him, and bow eventually started to believe them. MJ was now alone and he still wanted to be a good person, but no one would let him. So now he hides away in a dimension far away from the horizon and earth where he would take out his frustrations by making art, trying to convince himself that he is good, but it the thoughts of everyone being right about him flushed out the positive thoughts of him being anything more than a bad person. (wow this one is long XD)

Alternate universe idea: Well before I fully found out that AHiT was a game, I thought it was a story or something about these three girls playing in a pillow fort with costumes while making a story up as they went on playing! I guess this could be considered an AU idea right? oh, btw it would be called “The Toy Box AU” lol.

character I rather be stuck on an island with: Hmm, it would either be MJ or hat kid. Okay so MJ bc I kinda have this headcanon personality for him to where he's like the loyal, strong, sweet, classy type of friend so it would be nice to have him around for when the times get tough and to just enjoy the simple things on the island together, like admiring the stars and resting on the beach as a cool breeze passes by, also bc he doesn't need to eat lol. Hat kid would be super fun and make being stuck on an island fun! Plus she can do super jumps and a bunch of other things to help us survive.

Character i’d jam with: ooh this is a hard one XD. umm hmmm. Darn my libra nature XDD! Um okay, probably Dj grooves! The reason being that we could get along real good with fashion, even though our fashion senses are completely different from one another it would be so fun just to have some fun at the mall, get some clothes, and go home and party till we drop XD. I love entertainment and movies so I could help him out with his movies and make a great movie with him! 

and finally, choice for a roommate: Ok, so I would either room with DJ grooves, or MJ. With DJ grooves it would be so fun! we could just chill at home and watch a room com or go to a party and come home and pass out on the couch XD. With MJ it would always be lively and calming, we could stargaze together on summer nights, read our fav books to each other, talk the lonesome nights away, and maybe make some music together! We would treasure each other in our toughest times and be there for one another when we need someone. We could just admire the rain from the inside of our home while sitting comfortably by a fire telling stories to each other! sighh that would be soo nice XD

sorry that this reply is so long XDD, I love talking about this stuff but I usually keep quiet about it or say only little about it so I don't get on anyone nerves with my rambling lol. Thank you sm for the ask! i really appreciate it! it really brightened my day!

#anon asks #fandom asks #ahit #ahit headcanons #this was fun! #god i love talk XDD #anons really make my day better lol

BnHA Chapter 180: Deku VS Gentle ~Conclusion~

Previously on BnHA: The U.A. cultural festival kicked off. Gentle and Deku continued to duke it out. Gentle was still powered up with La Brava’s love quirk, but it wasn’t enough to really give him an edge; the two of them were pretty much going toe to toe and not dealing any real damage. Gentle tried to squish Deku under some stretchy air, but Deku unleashed his inner hobbit and fucking burrowed his way free. There was a lot of other ridiculous stuff like jacket-pulling and a lot of rough and tumble nonsense, and then Gentle had a tragic flashback. Basically he wanted to be a hero back in high school, but was something of a disaster, and was eventually expelled after a botched rescue attempt. Four years later he ran into an old classmate who had become a successful hero himself. Said classmate had no idea who Gentle was. The sting of this incident gave Gentle the motivation to study and train until he mastered his quirk, tired of being a failure. Back in the present, Deku’s attempts at trying to talk sense into him fell on deaf ears, and we were promised a conclusion in the next chapter. Which is this chapter! So bring it on!

Today on BnHA: Gentle and Deku stare at each other angrily while gripping each other’s hands and kind of pushing each other back and forth aggressively. It’s pretty intense but also ridiculous. Meanwhile La Brava flees into the woods with her laptop, desperate to hack U.A.’s security and complete Gentle’s mission. Gentle is all “I have to finish this quickly!” and starts bouncing around not really doing anything. Finally, Deku finishes him off with a shoot style roundhouse kick. He sportingly tells Gentle it was a difficult fight (which is a straight up lie but Deku is a nice person okay), right as La Brava comes running back and realizes Gentle has lost. She starts cutely beating Deku with her fists while crying, and Gentle realizes the situation he’s put her in, and that his failure means that she’ll be arrested as well. So he flings Deku away, attempting to make it look like the battle never occurred, and then he hugs La Brava, and then the pros arrive and he surrenders.

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 206 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.)

holy

wtf is happening to him

Deku’s struggling to hold him off, and he seems to be losing his damn mind

yikes

fucking look at this limbo champ right here. how the fuck is he still on his feet

now Gentle is asking Deku why he aspires to be a hero

funny that you should ask that, Gentle! because the thing is, Deku doesn’t actually care about recognition at all. he just wants to be a hero so that he can help others. imagine that

not that there’s anything wrong with wanting recognition. but if that’s the only thing you want, and you’re unable to be satisfied by anything else, you might want to prepare yourself for a lot of disappointment in life. and for the inevitable crisis you’ll have if and when you do ever finally achieve it, only to realize that it doesn’t really change anything and that you’ll still feel hollow inside until you finally realize that what you really wanted was ~love~

which you already have, apparently. so that’s great, dude. (again, just so long as it’s platonic??) I just wish you’d fucking figure it out already

maybe Deku can help him out. Deku?

okay, first of all, HOW DARE YOU with that shot of Nighteye. I DON’T NEED THIS

but on the other hand, having All Might and Inko side by side is A++. like, he genuinely thinks of them as his mom and dad. those are his parents. this is great. All Might, your proposal had better be real classy. don’t try any of that cheesy surprise proposal in public in front of dozens of other people bullshit. she will get super shy and embarrassed. what you should do is take her on a romantic nighttime walk on Dagobah Beach, and tell her this is where you trained with Izuku before giving him OFA, and you’re so grateful that the two of them came into your life, and you can’t imagine it without them. and then you drop down on one knee and you whip out the ring and that’s when you pop the question, bro

anyways I got swept up in my fantasies, but Deku is still continuing his speech here

very nice callback to that “you can be a hero” moment. you know what, I haven’t listened to the OST in a while. I’m gonna put that on

and Gentle seems to be smiling and he’s all “the same, huh”

and now he’s fucking flinging Deku into a nearby tree. rude

wow, La Brava is still committed to the plan and telling herself that Gentle will definitely win, and she’s actually setting up her fucking laptop in the middle of the woods and trying to connect to U.A.’s wireless network

but apparently she is “just barely” out of range

holy shit how far does U.A.’s network extend. is there a reason they need wifi all the way out in the middle of the damn woods? probably so the teachers can dick around on their phones while the students do survival exercises

so she’s picking up the laptop and running!

oh my god lol I almost said “you can do it!!” out loud and then I remembered that I’m supposed to be rooting against her lol

Gentle’s calling after her not to go and that it’s too dangerous on her own

that’s right, there is a werewolf prowling these here woods, don’t forget

anyway, so now Gentle is all “I have to finish this quickly!”

and yes, you do! because Deku has a fucking concert to get to!!

lol. yeah he’s a right pain in the ass, this one, isn’t he

now Gentle is losing his damn mind and he’s all “I’LL BEAT YOU EVEN IF IT MEANS DISREGARDING EVERYTHING THAT I STAND FOR, BASICALLY!!”

I was going to be all sarcastic and like “yes, nothing says respect like trying to beat the shit out of someone.” but then I remembered that this is shounen and that actually is how people show respect, like, all the time. so okay, yeah, that’s fair

AHHHHH YESSSSS

HOUNDDOG AND ECTO TO THE RESCUE

sorry my cute lil bean, looks like the jig is up

LMAOOOOOOO

THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE PANEL IN THE ENTIRE FUCKING SERIES. RIP KOUTA PUNCHING DEKU IN THE NUTS, 2018-2019

holy shit I keep looking at it and cracking the fuck up. his face. HIS DRAMATIC HAND GESTURES. DEKU OUT HERE LOSING HIS GD MIND AND I’M LIVING FOR IT

anyway, so it’s about time he fired an air gun with his left hand! yeesh

and now he’s finally finishing him off!!

this is a total Katsuki move. rotating in midair. and then finishing with an Iida move. I like this. I like this a lot

Deku there’s no need to try and spare his feelings. why you lyin bro. “of all the battles I’ve fought till now, this was... one of them”

(ETA: but seriously though. this has to be the first fight he’s ever been in where he didn’t even need any patching up afterwards. this was not even remotely a challenge for him. this was more like a Disney Channel Original Movie fight where he was more concerned about finishing up in time for the big dance competition)

nooooo now La Brava is running back out of the woods and she’s all like “GENTLE THE HEROES ARE COMING--”

nooooooooo

ah so there is a limit. as I thought

and yes, run away La Brava! you’re still so young! you have your whole life ahead of you, don’t throw it all away for this sad old man who flunked out of school 50 years ago and is now trying to be famous. he could have escaped, after all. he’s the one who decided he had to do this for some inexplicable reason

ffff she’s sobbing and telling Deku to “knock it off” and let him go

do you think he’s just going to shrug his shoulders and be like, “oh, sure thing, my bad”

oh my god

definitely one of them. one of the battles. but uh. most difficult? nahhh

listen kid. sometimes people try really hard and they still fail. it happens. maybe next time don’t pour your heart and soul into an assault on a school if you want people to feel bad when you fail

she’s saying Gentle is everything to her and her only light

okay I really want La Brava to make some nicer, more age-appropriate friends who don’t commit as many crimes

(ETA: well okay, the age thing is apparently not an issue, so that’s good. hopefully the two of them have learned their lesson and will be good citizens after they’ve done their time. maybe they’ll let them off with community service)

this is like fucking Zabuza and Haku in the fucking Wave Arc. holy shit. how many years ago was that

(ETA: 19. 19 fucking years ago. holy shit. that is a whole generation)

and now Gentle is belatedly realizing that even though La Brava is innocent (I guess “innocent” here is a relative term), if she gets caught now then she’ll be charged as an accomplice

why didn’t you fucking think about stuff like this before you made a teenage girl your evil sidekick

omg

did he just fucking yeet Deku into the air behind his back

and Deku landed in another one of those elastic air pockets it looks like

so what, you tried to make it look like you didn’t fight Deku and you just somehow happened to end up in the woods outside U.A. all beat up? lol okay then

that was pretty dumb but also hilarious. at any rate, I guess we get to go onto the festival now! BRING ME MY BAND AU AND MY HAPPY ERI’S SMILING FACE

no bonus, but look, Deku survived a 1-on-1 villain fight with no lasting damage, the villain learned a valuable lesson about love and friendship, class A is about to slay the entire U.A. campus with their sound, and All Might is proposing to Inko on the beach. basically life is pretty good.

BTS: You Shave Them

A/N: Not just, um, in the facial area. Well, well. Warning for a bit of smut. This has a lot of crack, too. Oh, Beardtan. I had tremendous fun writing this.

Jimin

Hides his stubble with big scarves as we all know

Because vice versa

Jimin loves to show off his neck i.e. almost snap it at every occasion

Since he knows his Adam’s apple is freaking hot

Erogenous zone much? You take advantage of that shaving him in the mornings

Probably gets a hard-on if you do the same with his legs, too

Well

Dancer instincts

Whiny when he doesn’t like how his pits look like

Pink (!) depilatory cream is your favorite to use for that

He likes how it tingles

Taehyung

For some reason likes to be horizontal while you do it

Likely because of what follows soon after

Can complain about razor burn a lot

So you slather him in anything you can find

Smells fucking good afterwards

Does all sorts of weird experiments

Like growing his beard until he can braid it... until you demand the big chop

He lets his hair grow simultaneously which looks great

Jack “V” Sparrow huh

Lotta leg hair that you enjoy to epilate

Big fan of super loud buzzing electric razors

Jin

Keeps it classy you think

Kim Seokjin, sophisticated member of the Holy Beardism religion

Hahaha 

Nope

Darling, he’s notorious

Can end up drowning in shaving cream at 7 am because you mess around with him

Yeah cream is key

Could rock a Mortdecai moustache but that one sadly gets in the way

If you know what I mean

Doesn’t care what you do with your hair as long as his looks groomed and sparkly

Can grow a lot of hair actually which invites you to do a couple experiments

But then again — It’s Kim Softjin not Kim Roughjin alrighty

Yoongi

Gets a thrill when you whip out the straight razor

And stretch the skin on that pretty neck 

Definitely turned on by having his chest and pubes trimmed as well

But also by how you always compliment him on his three day beard

Cuz that one looks good on him as well for sure, like a Count

Transsylvanian vibes huh

Or D’Artagnan 

But because it’s too scraggly for kissing 

And going down on you which is a daily activity as you might have guessed

That stuff comes off fast, very fast

Landing strip addict

Hoseok

Loves to be silky-smooth, has no problem with you doing it every now and then

You can groom his chest and pits, too

Few ingrown hairs really

Throws a little tantrum at the tiniest cuts but shrugs off larger mishaps

Would use dye on his pit hair 10/10

Or the little strands on his toes

He doesn’t care

Green, yellow, blue, purple

Imagine, him in those Balenciaga sandals and...

Okay this goes too far

The fact is: Hoseok is one colorful dork

Namjoon

It’s not rocket science to know what his shaving habits are

Obviously... Always had problems doing it himself

Too hasty, too absent-minded

When you look after that the results are a lot better anyways

And his eyebrows remain where they are

Appreciates the love and care that comes with it

Sometimes you use a razor to groom his undercut, too

Because that hairstyle is just made for him

Way too insecure about his beard even if it looks like Chris Hemsworth’s

Picture that

Likes smooth legs, too! You use a lot of time & cream to do that

He’ll show it off at the beach and in #KimDaily

Jungkook

Deadass agrees to using wax right away

Sexy

What doesn’t he do for pain 

“My jagi likes to rip out hairs from my asshole”

Said no guy ever.

Except this masochist right here

You’re laughing but he thinks it’s the most normal thing in the world

Loves to be hairless head to toe so you can use baby oil on him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And he can touch his muscles everywhere

Especially in the shower

Where most of the shaving action takes place... and not only that

Get free Sims 4 Custom Content – List of best websites

Hey there! Are you looking for some websites from where you can download free Sims 4 Custom Content? If yes, then you have reached the right place. In today’s post, we will tell you about some of the best websites from where you can download free Sims 4 Custom Content. So, without any further ado let’s get started!

About Sims 4

The Sims 4 is a life-based simulation video game which is developed by The Sims Studio and published by Electronic Arts. And, this is the fourth major title of The Sims series.

This video game has become the household benchmark of how the life simulation games should be. Initially, this game was released for Windows in 2014. The game got such a huge response that later it was released for MacOS too.

Even after being so popular the game has received mixed reviews since its release, with the majority of criticism directed towards its lack of content. But fortunately for us, since it’s release, the Sims 4 lovers have been providing us with a large variety of Sims 4 Custom Content.

And hence it motivated our team, to create this guide for you. After intense research, we’ve shortlisted the best sites from where you can get free Sims 4 custom content. The websites that we’ve mentioned in our guide, are all virus-free and free-to-use sites, so please don’t be worried, and download whatever you like.

Important: What Is Maxis-Match?

Maxis-match content is usually vibrant, colorful, and a bit cartoony, much like the art direction, the video games like Sims 4 takes. More realistic looks of the characters, their features, clothing and CC aren’t considered “Maxis-match.”

And, to match the color scheme of the game, it is best to use maxis-match CC. But before we start reading about the Best Websites for Sims 4 Custom content let’s learn how you can install Sims 4 CC on your device.

How to install Sims 4 Custom Content on your device?

Just follow these simple steps to install the downloaded Sims 4 Custom Content on your device.

Download the custom content from one of the listed websites below.

Locate the “.package” file inside the unzipped file.

Copy & paste the “.package” file to your “Mods” folder. You can find it at Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods.

And, you’re done! Custom Content would be installed.

In a similar way, you can get rid of a Sims 4 Custom content by deleting the .package file your Mods folder.

Now, let’s get straight to the topic. We will be categorizing the Sims 4 custom content into 6 categories given below:

Clutter

Clothes

Simsational Designs

Simsational Designs has a great collection of furniture & objects ranging from new living room furniture to bedroom sets and even beautiful rugs and wallpapers.

Some Sims 4 Custom Content Compilation Sites

If you are lazy or tired to go to each website on a daily basis to download Sims 4 custom content then these “Compilation Sites” are just for you. These are the ones which simply post links to all The Sims 4 CC created each day.

According to our team, the following are the best Compilation Site for The Sims 4.

Lana’s CC Finds

SSSVitlans manages Lana’s CC Finds which is the best place to find custom content on Tumblr. Tumblr is used by many CC creators for uploading their custom content, but Tumblr can be hard to navigate if you don’t know where to look. This website reblogs all the content released daily in an organized way.

Sims 4 Updates

Sims 4 Updates mostly posts clothing CC than some of the other sites, but most of it is “realistic” rather than Maxis-match CC.

Sims 4 Hairs

Sims 4 Hairs is as the name suggests, compilation site specifically for, you guessed it, Sims 4 hair.

My Sims 4 Blog

My Sims 4 Blog is updated daily with links to custom content all over the web. It’s a handy site, as well, because it is well-organized, and one can also search for something specific if needed.

Mod The Sims

Mod The Sims is one of the oldest in the game in the range of compilation sites for Sims 4. This website is mainly for game mods, … but they do post custom CC like custom hair, clothes, and objects.

The Sims Resource

The Sims Resource is not that we would actually prefer most of the stuff there isn’t Maxis-match and they use way too many ads, which makes the experience really bad, but it’s still worth mentioning for the sheer amount of content you can find. There are some CC creators, who only post on The Sims Resource, so it’s definitely a website, which you can check out for yourself.

Sims 4 Downloads

Sims 4 Downloads is also a daily updated compilation site. It is mainly for hair and clothing CC.

Some Seasonal Mods that you should give a try!

In the current version of the game, there’s no seasonal expansion pack. But, we are expecting that we’ll get seasons eventually, but in the meantime, some thoughtful CC creators have made mods that’ll allow you to pretend that the weather is actually changing in the game!

The main thing to notice here is that all these are all default replacements i.e. that once they are installed, they will replace the regular files in the game. They wouldn’t break your game or anything, but very noticeable that one can notice is that they’ll completely change the way the grass, trees, and plants look in the game.

Tropical Getaway Mod

The Tropical Getaway Mod is the most in-depth texture replacement mod that is available out there. SimplyNando is the one who created this mod which will turn Granite Falls (if you have Outdoor Retreat) into a beach landscape; the grass will turn to sand and plenty of palm trees will replace the default trees.

This mod has all the attention to details and looks absolutely gorgeous once you apply it, even the background of Granite Falls has been changed to look more tropical.

First Snow Mod

Sim Cookie‘s First Snow Mod transforms the game as you know it is, into a winter environment. All words in the game will be replaced with “snow” on the ground and icy trees. This is the mod, that we will recommend if you want your Sims character to be enjoying the snow.

Autumn and Early Autumn Mods

Dani Paradise’s Autumn and Early Autumn mods as the name suggests, enables you to have the autumn season in Sims 4. One can choose between 2 mods, early autumn or full autumn which are offered, and enable them as per your own liking.

Final Words

So, that’s it for this post! I hope you enjoyed it. Do give us your feedback in the comments section. If you have any queries or questions for us feel free to contact us. Stay tuned for more Sims 4 content. Thanks for reading. Goodbye!

One Night in the City (TRR AU) Part 5: I’m In

Part 5 of a series. AU where Maxwell never brought MC to Cordonia. Liam never saw or heard from her again after the night of his bachelor party and social season went on without her. In this chapter, Riley is shaken up by Liam’s surprise visit and Drake is looking for a friend...

Riley's hands were shaking as she cashed out for the night. She pocketed her tips, including the extra $100 slipped to her by Liam's bodyguard, and choked back her rage once again. She'd wanted to throw his ridiculous "tip" and the implication that went along with it back in his face, but she needed the money more than she cared to admit. She slipped out the staff entrance into the back alley and leaned against a cold brick wall, allowing herself to finally break down into sobs, alone in the dark.

"Um...hey...I feel like I should say something instead of standing here watching you like a creep." Riley's eyes darted up towards the voice, and landed on Drake, sitting on an overturned milk crate by a dumpster in the dark. He looked so mortified, she couldn't help but let out a short, pained laugh.

"What's a member of the Cordonian royal court doing sitting out here with the trash?" she asked, trying and failing to sound calm, casual. He managed a small smile but still looked miserable.

"You say that like I'm somebody, Waitress, and I'm not. Just some kid that the king likes to have hanging around, for whatever reason. Although I don't think he was particularly thrilled with my company tonight." She noticed the flask held loosely in his hand.

"My name is Riley, as you know, and your manners are shit. I thought Cordonians were supposed to be polite."

"That's just because other than me, the only ones you've met were nobility. Pretending to be polite is their entire job."

Riley scoffed. "You are truly the worst European fancy royal dude I have ever met."

"I just told you, I'm not..." he laughed and leaned his head back against the wall. "I'm not a 'fancy royal dude'. I'm not anyone. I'm just Drake Walker."

"Right, you're just a guy who jetsets around the world, going to fancy balls and keeping a literal king entertained. Oh my god...you're a court jester!"

Drake scowled, tucking his flask back into his jacket pocket. "I'm...just Drake Walker. Damn, Waitress, I was waiting out here to be nice to you, but you're ruthless."

"Why did you think I needed to be comforted by you tonight, exactly?"

"You're gonna make me say it? Because Liam was an asshole to you, and you spent the last 20 minutes looking like you were going to burst into tears on the job."

Riley turned to leave. "Look, man, I don't even know you. But if it makes you feel any better, I am fine. It takes a little more to break my heart than being kissed by a handsome and unavailable prince."

"Yeah, well, he's still handling it like an asshole, and I hope he apologized. If not, I'll apologize on his behalf."

She sighed and turned back to him. "Yeah, he did, actually. He just...spit out a lot of other bullshit first." Riley laughed, remembering Liam's panicked expression before he ran off. "He was like an android who'd only just learned to feel. And maybe his processor was overloading a bit."

Drake laughed and pulled the flask out of his pocket, holding it out to her. "Yeah, that man is all kinds of repressed. I think you may have broken him." His eyes went wide. "Oh, god, and then he went straight back into Olivia's clutches. He doesn't stand a chance."

Riley smiled and accepted the drink. "Hey, this is better than what we serve here. You really are a fancy rich guy. Even your back-alley booze is classy."

Drake scratched the back of his head, uncomfortable with how she was seeing him but unable to properly refute it. "Hey...do you want to go for a walk with me? I don't really want to head to the hotel just yet. I made the horrible mistake of agreeing to room with Maxwell and I'm not sure I can survive the night if I go back there."

A smile crept across her face, despite herself. "Alright, Drake Walker. Let's go for a walk."

Silence settled over the two of them as they walked side by side, making their way down a familiar path. "Hey, are we heading to that beach? The one you took us to the night of the bachelor party?"

"That's the one," Riley answered. "I guess this is my one and only move."

"Nah, that sounds perfect, actually. I could use a moonlit walk on the beach tonight."

"You make that sound awfully romantic." Riley raised an eyebrow at him, and Drake chuckled in response.

"Yeah, well, it kind of is, isn't it? Are you taking me on a date, Waitress?"

"Not if you keep calling me that, Drake Walker."

"Right. Sorry, Riley." they shared a warm smile, then both looked away, feeling suddenly awkward.

A few city blocks later, Riley broke the silence. "So what's she like? Olivia? I get the feeling you're not a huge fan of your new queen."

"Future queen," he corrected pointedly. "We have a few more weeks before that she-devil is crowned, and I don't intend to give her the satisfaction of addressing her as such until I absolutely have to."

"So, she's super nice and cuddly and lovable, then."

He laughed and snuck another sip from his flask. "Yeah, she's a real peach." He stared at his feet fot a moment, thinking. "Honestly, the woman makes me crazy. She's aggressive, abrasive, conniving. But she's got a soft spot for Liam. She'll take care of him." Another swig. "Hell, I'd think twice about crossing him with her around."

Riley laughed - a sweet, genuine laugh that made Drake smile. "It almost sounds like you're afraid of her, Drake Walker."

"Yeah, well. Let's just hope she's as intimidating to the crown's enemies as she is to me."

"This way," Riley said suddenly, disappearing behind a tree, into a hole in a chainlink fence. Drake struggled to follow her, tearing his shirt as he slipped through the small opening "Dammit Riley...this is not the route we took last time."

She laughed, snorting. "Oh no! Fancy rich guy ruined his fancy clothes! The night is a disaster."

"I am not..." he rubbed his temple, feeling flustered. "I am not a fancy rich guy, I just happen to live in a palace!" He paused, staring at his feet, until they both burst out laughing. "You're making a fool of me, Waitress."

"You don't seem to need much help with that, Drake Walker." She reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him after her. "Follow me."

They walked in silence a while longer, until they came to a quiet, secluded spot, difficult to spot from the road. "Did you bring me out here to murder me, Waitress? Should I be worried?"

Riley shrugged and winked suggestively. "I can think of better reasons to seek out a private place with Mr. Drake Walker." She sat down in the sand and gestured for him to join her.

"Oh! I...um..." Drake blushed and looked at his feet, and Riley laughed warmly. He sat down next to her.

"You're cute when you're flustered." He could only smile in return, trying to maintain some dignity. Riley looked thoughtful for a moment. "So, how long have you been in love with her?"

Surprised, Drake responded with an awkward cough/laugh that led into a small coughing fit from which he struggled to recover. "I...what? Who?"

"Oh, are you seriously going to play stupid with me? Olivia, Drake. You've got it bad for your best friend's fiancée. That must be tough."

He frowned, staring at his feet and kicking at the sand underfoot. "I guess she wouldn't be the devil if she wasn't...tempting. But I wouldn't call it love. She just...pushes my buttons."

Riley laughed awkwardly, trying to hide a small spark of jealousy. "You seem like a guy who likes to have his buttons pushed now and then."

"I...uh...yeah. Well." He scratched his head, struggling to meet Riley's eyes. "Honestly, it felt for a minute like her and I could be something. I never fit into her ambition, but she's got some power in her own right, and I think she did entertain the idea of being with me instead of trying to marry up." He frowned, seeming to be reliving something painful in his mind. "It was always assumed she would marry Liam, but when his brother stepped down and he became the crown prince, everything changed. His father didn't want them together anymore, and he started to pay attention to other suitors. I never had any 'suitors' so I guess I was easy pickings for her." He laughed but did not smile. "She's Olivia though, so she didn't give up. She just worked harder to win him. And she got it, everything she wanted. She always does."

Riley put a gentle hand on his shoulder, and he leaned into the touch, lying his cheek against the back of her hand, enjoying the softness and warmth of her skin. "...and now you're following them both around on an international engagement tour."

He let out a sad little laugh. "Yeah, it's not ideal. But I'm OK. I'm happy for them, honestly. I'm just not really sure where I fit into any of this anymore. I've always just been here for Liam, and now he's got her, and I've got...uh...whiskey?"

"Drake..." Riley pulled him into a hug, letting her hand wander into his shaggy hair affectionately, pressing his head into her shoulder. "That sounds lonely."

He scoffed quietly but didn't move away. He hadn't realized how much he needed to be touched and held until he felt her arms wrap around him. His arms slipped around her waist and they sat for a while in comfortable silence, listening to the soft rhythym of the waves, the cries of the seagulls, and their own breath, gradually synchronizing as their chests rose and fell in tempo with each other. Riley laughed softly. "Why does this feel so easy?"

Drake smiled and rubbed her back lightly. "We must have been best friends in another life."

"...Or lovers?" Riley winked at him, devilishly. He pulled away and shoved his hands into his pockets.

"You're killing me, Waitress." He frowned and looked at the ground.

"What's the problem? Did the king make you take an oath of celibacy to join his court?"

"What? No, that's...what?" He sighed dramatically. "I'm flying out in the morning. I can't imagine I'll ever see you again. You're insanely beautiful and charming and fun but..." he trailed off, struggling to find a valid objection.

"But you already told off your friend for leading me on and then disappearing, so now you'll look like a total asshole if you do the same thing?"

He laughed and looked back into her eyes. "Yeah, that about sums it up."

Riley snuck a drink from Drake's flask and grabbed his hand tightly, moving her face mere inches from him, her eyes suddenly burning into his. "Drake...take me with you."

He pulled his hand away, stunned. "What? Why?" He noticed her eyes welling up with tears, and sat stunned, unsure how to react.

"I have nothing here," she confessed, her voice breaking. "I have a single room in an apartment I share with 4 other people...and I'm pretty sure it's actually a medium-sized closet. I make less than minimum wage, and the stupid bar is so dead that the tips haven't made up the difference in weeks. I left my whole family to come here and make something of myself and all I've done is struggle and fail. I'm so...tired..." she stopped speaking, trying to fight back sobs. Drake wrapped his arms around her, pulling her head down into his shoulder, patting her head gently.

"Hey...hey! Hey, you're ok." He squeezed her affectionately, staring out at the ocean, completely unsure of how to deal with this strange situation he found himself in but unwilling to let her go or say good night. He felt suddenly self-conscious. "Hey, I'm an asshole, I'm sorry. I can't believe I'm sitting here complaining about my life in the royal palace...when you..."

She placed a finger to his lips. "No, no, it's not a competition. I came here knowing I wouldn't have any money, but I needed to do it...to feel the freedom of going my own direction, of doing something myself. We all need that, more than anything. It sounds like you haven't been living your own life for a while."

He nodded slowly, mulling over her words. "You're right. How are you seeing right through me?"

"Maybe you're not as mysterious as you think you are, Drake Walker." She turned her face to him and brushed her lips over his softly, testing him, seeing if he was going to let her in. He took in a sharp breath, then pressed his lips to hers eagerly, his hands finding her hair, her neck, his thumb tracing the line of her jaw as he kissed her hungrily.

Riley moved into his lap, straddling him, wrapping her legs around his midsection and running her hands all over his body, feeling his muscular form beneath his clothes. She felt the pressure of his erection against her inner thigh and let out a soft moan against his mouth, pressing herself against him, desperate for his closeness. She moved her lips to his neck as he placed gentle kisses in her hair, just behind her ear. She ground her hips against him, taking pleasure in his sharp intake of breath as she moved against him.

"Fuck it," he whispered, his lips grazing her ear, "Come with me." He laughed softly, realizing his double entendre. "Come home with me."

She pulled away, surprised. "Just like that?"

He grinned. "Just like that. Why not? It sounds like we could both use an adventure and a change of pace."

Riley leaned her head against Drake's shoulder, relaxing into him, trying to slow her racing heart. "I don't know. It was a dumb idea. I don't even know you. What if we hate each other and I'm stranded there? What if you're secretly a human trafficker, trying to sell me into sex slavery?"

He laughed and stroked her hair. "Wow, that took a dark turn. Well, it was your idea, and you're welcome to back out. But if you want to come to Cordonia - as my friend - I would be happy to call Liam in the morning and inform him there will be an extra passenger flying back with us, and that she'll need a room - your own room - back at the palace."

"Can you do that? Mr. Just-Drake-Walker can boss around the king like that?"

He scoffed. "I can't boss him around, but I can certainly ask for a favor. He'll be happy to do it. I promise. I don't have much to offer you, but I do have the friendship of powerful people, at least." He took his hands off of her and held them up innocently. "I would never ask you to do anything that you don't want to. But I'd like to do this for you, if you're up for a change of pace."

Riley grinned and grabbed his hands, moving them back to her waist. She leaned in and kissed him again, slowly but sensually, running her tongue over his lower lip before moving away just enough to whisper, "I'm in."

Rain In July Part 2// Calum Hood

I make my way through the crowded living room walking towards where I last saw Sam sat on the sofa texting away on his phone “there’s my beautiful girlfriend” he smiles looking up at me as I make my way towards him, Sam stands up from the sofa heading over to me. “Sorry I was gone so long I ran into Calum” I roll my eyes to Sam wrapping my arms round his neck “your all mine now?” I nod moving my lips closer to his and connected them before taking his hand into mine. “Do you want to get a drink?” I ask him he nods and we make our way towards the kitchen our hands locked together. I stand in front of the kitchen table pouring Sam and I the same vodka and coke. Sam placed his hand on my shoulder rubbing small circles in the area it was something I didn’t really like, but Sam and I hadn’t been together long enough for me to tell him things like that. I smile turning to face running my hand down his tattooed arm “here” I hand him his slightly weaker drink already smelling the strong stench of whiskey on his breath “thanks babe” he smiles at me kissing my cheek. Sam stares out at the balcony watching the rain fall I notice this admiring the way he’s so mesmerised by the falling droplets “I’m so sick of rain in July” I lean into his side sighing

“I second that” he kisses my forehead “I’m gong out to the toilet” Sam tells me “Jason’s in the kitchen you should catch up with him” I nod and place a gently kiss to Sam’s lips before we part ways. The kitchen is emptier then it was when Sam and I were getting our drinks, the room now consist of Jason, Luke and Calum. I walk up to Jason and start talking to him about his band’s latest tour. “Yeah we’re super excited it’s our first time going to Manila” I nod smiling finishing off my drink, I glance around looking for Sam but all I’ve greeted with our faces of people I hardly know. “You looking for Sam?” Jason questions running a hand through his dark brown hair I nod pouring myself another drink instantly downing half of it “I could have sworn I saw him with some girl” I can almost guess who he’s talking about “Short? Dancer? Good bum?” I question Jason

“Short yes, I don’t know about her bum I don’t pay attention to that stuff I’m a classy guy”  I cock an eyebrow at him.

“Fine...” he holds his hands up smirking “good bum”. I shake my head finishing the rest of my drink “that’s his ex Grace” I look down at the floor “He’s not Tom just because that happened in the pas doesn’t mean it’s going to happen again. Sam is a good guy and if he knows what’s right for you he will never put himself in the position to loose you” I nod chewing on my bottom lip “I’m going to go find him” I hug Jason telling him I’ll see him soon. I don’t need to look very far for Sam, he and Grace are stood at the end of the hallway her hands resting on his chest, one of his hands on her bum the other on her hair. I am frozen. Unable to move. I stare at them wishing to be anywhere else, I notice how he caress her shoulder the same way, whispers the same sweet-nothings into her ears and she believes him. They move closer to one another their lips contesting my hand reaches to the necklace Sam bought me just for the sake of it and snatches it off. I march towards then tears threatening to spill from my eyes, I pull them away from one another both of them looking at me in disbelief, I thrust the necklace into Grace’s hand “I believe this was meant for you” I spit my eyes brimming with tears making my vision blurry “y/n” Sam begins I cut him off raising my finger in front of his face “don’t you ever fucking talk to me ever again” I shout in his face “you disgust me”. I walk away not allowing any tears to fall until I’ve exited the apartment. I head into the streets and since it was still early I decided it was safe enough to walk the short distance home.

 When Home I collapse on to the bed kicking my boots off and crying into my pillow stained with Sam’s scent. 30 minutes or so has passed when there’s a knock on my door, I sigh assuming it’s Sam come to apologies but to my shock Calum stands in front of me a bottle of wine in one hand and chocolates in the other. “I heard what happened” he glances down at the floor before turning to me with a cheesy grin on his face “Come on I’m taking you to our secret spot” he instructs cocking his head towards the car. I look at Calum confused, somehow he’s the only person I want and don’t want to talk to about this. I take the wine from Calum taking the top off and making my way towards the passenger door Calum beats me to it opening to for me “m’lady” he jokes mimicking my British accent awfully. “No one actually says m’lady silly. It’s like me...” unable to think of an example in my emotional state I just settle for smiling and shaking my head whilst looking out the window, I catch Calum staring at me through the wind mirror and wave sheepishly at him he beams back widely his eyes gleaming, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Calum’s eyes shine like they do so well. Calum’s and I secret spot really isn’t that secret it’s a tiny section of beach that can’t be seen from anywhere else in the beach because of the large rocks and cliff face surrounding it. Calum spreads a blanket out near the shore before plonking down on to it I lower myself next to him handing him the nearly empty wine bottle, he holds it but does not drink before handing it back to me “I’m driving” he reminds me

“Oh yeah” I smile “I’m so used to being able to walk to this spot” I sigh admiring the calm blue sea “still not used to the new place?” I shake my head “I told my self I was never going to move away from the sea, I was never going to live in LA, never let you break my heart” I kick softly at the white sand in front of us sniffing listening to the sounds of the breaking waves Calum’s almost dead lighter that he tries desperately to work. I tie my long hair up in a messy bun sighing as I replay the evening events. “You’re worth so much more than that” Calum informs me I smile at him bringing the bottle to my lips “I know” I nod the silence drifting back. “How was tour?” I ask him my eyebrows furrowed “stressful as ever” Calum runs a hand through his hair as if even the thought of tour brings the stress back “like it is so much fun and I’d hate to sound ungrateful but it’s so fucking hard and it takes so much out of you” I nod watching Calum flick cigarette ash to his left. “I used to count down the days till you were visiting me, I know that when we’re apart it feels like nothing but I just couldn’t wait to see your face…I wouldn’t have to any other way” Calum trails off glancing up and the tall rocks. The clouds over the sky begin to look more and more ominous. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you, and I know that fixes nothing and I would take it all back if I could” I pull my knees closer remembering the crash. I had been cycling on my way to work when a car had come round a blind bend too fast knocked me straight of my bike, a week and a half in hospital and not a word from Calum. “I know we weren’t together, but we’d only been broken up 3 days, a text would have been sufficient” Calum stubs his cigarette out

“I was trying to give you space…I though that’s what you wanted”

“I wanted you” I meet Calum dead on my eyes staring into his the same way they did seven months ago “I’m here now” he whispers taking my hand in his. I begin to feel light rain droplets hit my bare legs and arms, despite knowing full well it’s about to chuck it down I stay frozen in time hearing my breathing in time with Calum the warmth of our hands laced together. The rain begins to fall heavier “I’m so sick of rain in July” I mutter staring up at the rain. There’s a pause before Calum inches a little closer to me “I haven’t stopped thinking about you, you interrupt my daily and I love it, if anyone is going to stop me functioning normally I want it to be you. If there is anyone I’m going to be love sick puppy in love with I want it to be you” I sigh heavily

“What took you so long Calum?” I whisper inching my face closer to his.  “I’m here now baby” I move my face closer just as Calum does our lips connecting the butterflies that had been building up settling as Calum and I relax into one another the rain metaphorically washing away the past, a fresh slate for Calum and I.

Holiyay?

*08/10/17*

Sorry I haven’t posted for so long... ironic when you’re not well enough to write your blog about your illness aint it!?! 

Anyway, I’m gonna cut right to the chase. Instagram vs real life is such an issue for me. One I probably need to get over…. It’s so hard I don’t know wether I should try and only post positive fun photos and make it look like I’m having a right old great fucking time or to keep it more ‘real’? But then no-one wants to see pics of an ill sad girl and it’ll probably just look like I’m trying to get attention.

I guess this blog is my outlet for now…

I have people who are close to me who tell me that if I post about being ill all the time I’ll never get booked for work or gigs, but then when it comes to my (failing) career as an artist I want to be real. I want to be honest and build a genuine following of people who care enough to join me on the real journey??Answers on a postcard please thanks.

So if you’ve seen the recent Insta posts you will have seen that I managed to go on holiday with my besets friends - genuine yay!I’ve never been away with friends before and could not wait to get ma body in the sun!! Oh that sweet sweet vitamin D!

But maybe I underestimated how tiring travelling was and how hard it would be…

Don’t get me wrong I don’t regret going and there were some really genuinely lovely times - that and I feel so much closer to my friends, but I’ve been back home now for three weeks and I’m just about making it to the supermarket or doing small tasks around the house each day. BIG FAT MEH.

I know I say it a lot but M.E. is so fucking frustrating!!! Because the more you push through and try and go for it the worse you get, so you physically can’t just get on with things- and the pay back is hell.

So on the way there we had the biggest nightmare…. I met Katie, Grace, Tilly, and Nicki at the airport and all was chill- I was feeling pretty shit but not too terrible. We had a bit of food at the Wetherspoons - keeping it classy - and then all went off to get out bits and bobs from Boots, WHSmiths etc - classic airport essentials!! - now… I’ll spare you the details… but I also have Crohns disease, and was not tooooo well!! It seemed that all of a sudden our gate was called… and I was… erm… busy…

I was as quick as I could be (awks), but there is no rushing somethings man!!! We were all panicking on the WhatsApp group and I told the gals I would meet them at the gate… Grace (bless her heart) said she would wait for me - she went to the information desk and told them my situation and asked if we could get a wheelchair or one of those buggy things to assist us to the gate - which of course was the furthest one away!!!

Do you know what they said to her??

‘You have four minutes until the gate closes and you won’t get there in time. You have to go now and leave your friend’ Grace being Grace said no, and waited for me. She tried to explain but they said to her ‘If she’s ill she shouldn’t be travelling’ - THANKS GATWICK - REAL BIG HELP THERE!!

Anyway… I came out of the toilets (why oh why am I selling you all this hahahaha) and found Grace - we had less than 4 minutes to do like a good 10 minute walk.

I don’t think I’ve moved so fast in a long time!! We were proper power walking through the airport and Grace would break into a jog at some points. I was fast trailing behind her shouting ‘just go!’ ‘Go on without me!’ Which of course she didn’t….

Stress levels were ridiculous, and I almost collapsed on an escalator - I sat and G rubbed my back…. After what seemed like a marathon we got to the gate… where everyone was sat chilling and they hadn’t even stared boarding yet. cool. whatever… Then Tilly comes walking up behind us as my body is shaking and I start to cry from all the adrenaline- ‘oh hey guys! you got here quick!’ - yea Tilly… real quick….LOL

By that time my legs were utter jelly and I thought I was going to pass out - very pleasant- but we all got on the plane and were laughing so hard at the messages of sheer panic in the WhatsApp group! We were all SO RELIEVED that we had made it!! I literally thought I had ruined everyone’s holiday!! - oops!! Never eating before a flight again! ;)

So we got to Spain and yet again the airport staff were assholes - I was as you can imagine feeling awful and there was a huge queue to get through passport control- I had my disabled parking badge with me as way of proof (people look at me and just don’t get it) and so Kaite and I asked if there was any where I could sit to wait for the queue to go down or any way we could go to the front. After they’d asked ‘where is the disabled girl?’ looking straight past me, and told me no, we’d had enough and just walked straight through while they shouted ‘Policia’ at us etc…. Luckily the police did not come and we went straight through!

What is it with these people?? Like even if I was a healthy girl who became ill on the plane they should WANT to help someone who is asking for assistance??

They can all get in the bin. End of.

So next was the drive (thank you Nicki for driving on the other side of the road for us all!!) to the villa and then we were there! Bloody exhausting.

The gals all then went out for dinner and I went to bed and ate a gluten free pot noodle I had packed in ma suitcase. Living the dream I tell ya!

The next day I was feeling pretty awful and chilled all day by the pool - now of course I am not complaining as I am so lucky to have been able to go on holiday at all, but that day, and most of the time actually, it was just a massive head fuck.

How was I was sat by the pool, surrounded by palm trees in the gorgeous sun, yet all I felt like doing was crying. I couldn’t shake it.

I didn’t want to be with my friends and I didn’t have the energy to make conversation, but kept trying and didn’t want to ruin everyone else’s holiday or be a downer.

Some of the time it just felt I was like having salt rubbed in my wounds right in my face. I was surrounded by four other healthy girls doing what I wished I could be.

I guess at home where I can escape to my room, and the fact that they are all at work everyday, it’s a little easier to cope.

But watching them all have fun and go out without me, and drink wine every night etc. was just a bit rubbish I guess.

I’m sure I sound ridiculous but you can’t help what you feel, and that’s what I felt.

The second night I went for dinner with them all but got so unwell I was in tears at the dinner table and got a cab home and left them to it. Fuck sake. (Sorry for all the swearing… just feel strongly lol)

I did improve a bit as the holiday went on, and my god they were all SO helpful and caring - always carrying the sun lounger out to the pool for me, and making me food when I was super tired (great omelette’s Nix!!), taking my suitcase for me at the airport, all that kinda stuff - and for that I thank them all, I must have been such a burden always having to be ‘looked after’ and I hated that. But they were beyond wonderful. Love you all SO MUCH!!

Then Emily arrived for the last few days which was awesome as we don’t get to see her as much now she’s moved out- so that was cool and we had a really lovely day at the beach which I genuinely enjoyed and did feel a little better - oh and I got duck pancakes that day too… nuff said!! :)

On the Saturday we had decided to have our one ‘night out’ -it was really nice to all get dolled up and as most of us are single now there was a lot of banter with the bar staff etc!

But again I was there drinking a Diet Coke and they were there making bloody boomerangs of them cheersing with their champagne glasses and getting drunk. God I am bitter!! hahaha

How do I always end up writing about my long to get drunk on this blog haha…. I just really miss it I guess… It’s hard cos my personality is so full of get up and go and lets go get drunk and dance!!! But instead I get to a club, can’t drink and all I think about is where can I sit down and what time shall I get a cab home on my own.

Wow… I really can complain huh!!!

On a positive note- I did have a dance that night!! Ok it was for maybe like 2 songs and it was more of a side step LOL but it felt really good! … and again…. Bar staff were on fleeek - for a laugh Nicki and I went up and she dared me to ask for his number… which I did…he was like the most gorgeous man I had ever seen!! But he had to get a woman over to translate as he didn’t understand a word I was saying and then when he did give me his number he asked if I spoke Spanish… to which I said no…. Most pointless exchange ever but Nicki and I were dying laughing and then just kinda ran away! I felt 13 again!

Then Grace did a high kick on the dance floor and fell flat on her face - and got glass in her hand. Doh! Oh Grace- your dance moves make me so happy- man I wish I could do crying laughing emojis on here!!!

-Don’t worry, Grace got looked after! After being told she would need stitches by the bar staff, she ended up in A&E but came home a mere plaster

Anyway I am rambling now -

After that night again I felt terrible and didn’t make it out to dinner with the gals but was glad I had made it out in the first place. I sat and ate chocolate watching the sunset instead. All good ;)

Then the journey home of course was pretty rubbish - British Airways you suck balls. - We pre booked assistance on the way home after our first ordeal! But this then meant waiting on the (very cold) plane for another half an hour, then being wheeled to a dark hallway and being left sat there alone (no staff anywhere) for about 45 minutes. We got so fed up that Katie found a few wheelchairs and stole one- I mean if they’re not gonna help we will help ourselves… it was at that moment that the buggy arrived and faffed about for a long time and then took us through passport control etc. LONG. Would have probably been less tiring to walk but then you never know how far it is!

After hitting my head at the train station I arrived home to Sussex where my mum picked me up.

Then HOME!! Oh the joy!! Bed with my cat! YAAAASSSS!!!

Unfortunately the next day I had hospital in the morning but it was to see a consultant I’ve been waiting forever to see who is giving me a trail of some new medication.

I don’t want to get my hopes up so am trying not to think about it but my god I am PRAYING that it might just help! - I’ll let ya know ;)

So now that I am back in London I am back to trying to do small realistic tasks each day and build back up from there. It’s depressing. It’s frustrating. It’s lonely. But it has to be done.

Much love for anyone who has actually read that!!! Means so much and am just trying to turn a negative into a positive - I enjoy writing this and hope that someone in a similar situation might be able to relate, and that someone who has never heard of M.E. might gain a little understanding.

Please get in touch if you wanna chat :)

Sloppy kisses

Hello, I saw that your request box is open, Can I request a Jay Park scenario where you go visit one of your closest friends at her aunt's house...And you know her aunt very well, in fact she adores you like the daughter she never had, so one day they invite you to a family party where you meet her two sons, Jehan and Jay, and Jay and you both get shocked that you actually are close with his family since you guys have been kinda always having a thing but never official omg it's long sorry♡thanks

Type: Super fluff

Words: +1.5k

For @leyarren

It’s so fulff i’m sorry

Let me know what you think of it

illi

It was June, the fresh breeze of Busan was caressing your skin while you were admiring the view from your best friend's house.

The little pastel pink dress was dancing in the air like your long black hair.

-Heeei Y/N!!!!!! Wanna go to the beach?

You turned around, facing your best friend and nodding happily

Her name was Jimin, she was the same age as you and you both met at the cafeteria where you worked.

She had a contagious smile and the prettiest eyes you've ever seen.

You quickly became close, like family. The fact that you both left yours to follow your dreams in Seoul connected the two of you even more.

-Let's go Y/N!!!!!!! Auntie wants to see us in the afternoon!!! Better go and have fun now that we can!!!!

-Comiiing!!!!

Grabbing your bag, you quickly followed Jimin and spent the morning at the beach.

Jimin's aunt was a lady in her 50s, her mother's big sister.

She was a beautiful woman, always with the perfect outfit and makeup on point, at the beginning, you thought she was kind of scary, but the more you got to know her the closer yo her you got.

She was funny, always making silly jokes or fooling with her servants (yes she was super rich too!)

and you spent hours talking about her past loves.

-Auntie!!!!

-My loves! How are you??

The three of you hugged tightly like you haven't seen each other in years when in reality only a couple of months passed from your last visit.

-Why are you always so beautiful girls?

-Auntie!! You are the beautiful one here, look at you!

-Well..you're right I am beautiful

You laughed happily and went to the living room to drink some tea.

The villa was stunning, the marbles floors and walls were shining and everything was perfectly placed.

The red curtains were open, letting you see the beautiful view of Busan.

Auntie had a passion for interior design, and her house was luxurious but not too much, it was really classy with some of the greatest roman's statues reproductions.

She also had a passion for literature like yourself, so she let you take some books from her personal library that were on the first floor of the villa.

-So beauties, what are you gonna do tonight?

-We don't know Auntie, why?

-Just..there's a party and I wanted my beautiful nephews to come and maybe find a man

-Auntie!!!

-What, do you wanna stay single forever?? What about you Y/N??

-I..

-What? Don't tell me you have a boyfriend and you didn't send me his pictures?!

-I don't..

-She has a crush but she's too shy to talk to him

-JIMINIE!!

You felt blood running through your cheeks, so you covered your face with your hands, while Auntie was laughing softly and asked you to tell her about him.

-He's just a guy...

-Who always come at the cafeteria.....

-Uhh .. so.. what's his name?

-Jaebum..he's a..CEO..

-Woo girl you go and get him ahahhaah

-Auntie!! she really likes him, plus he's not just rich enough to give us 50$ tip every time, but he's also handsome and super nice!!!

-Does he have an uncle?

-Ahahahahhaahaha auntie!!!!!

-Ok, so tell me..does he likes you?

-Absolutely not

-Of curse he does!!! Haven't you seen the way he looks at you??

-GIRLS! OK, tell me what he usually does in the cafeteria

-He..just orders some coffee and a cake to take away..like every human being...

-Y/N, he orders always the same things and he sits at the same table where he can look at you without you noticing!! Everybody knows!!

-Why does he order the cake as a take away if he sits?

-That's a mystery auntie...

After a good couple of hours talking about Jay, you and Jimin were heading home when auntie stopped you before you could exit the main door

-Wait, girls!!!! Take this dresses for tonight, I ordered them just for the two of you

-You're always too nice auntie

-See you tonight!!!

The sky was dark, and you could admire the stars from the big villa's terrace.

The wind was still blowing, and the cold hair of the night made you regret your decision of not taking something to cover your bare shoulders.

Auntie bought you a long dark pink dress, with a deep v neck and a bow on the bottom of your back.

It really was beautiful, but you wished to have something more on.

Jiminie, on the other hand, was wearing a long strapless red dress that emphasised her curves.

-Auntie!! When is everybody coming??

-In a phew minutes darling, Y/N..you're so pretty tonight!

-Thanks, Auntie...

-A pity that this Jaebum CEO can't be here..

You look down, smiling softly just thinking of him...

Flashback!

It has been the worst day ever!

A client just got mad at you because the cake was finished, you spilt at least 3 coffees on the floors and your boss almost fires you.

You couldn't wait to lose the cafeteria when two people entered

-Welcome..

You said, almost whispering

-Can we have two Americanos?

-Sure...something else?

You never looked at them, but automatically went to get the coffees ready

-No thanks, Kiseok?

-I'm fine with coffee

-Here.. it's 3,50$

-Here..

And in that moment you saw him, his little smile and his loving eyes who were looking at you.

He seemed tired, he has probably bee working all day..

With him, there was Kiseok, a really good looking man that kept looking at his watch

-Are you ok .. Y/N?

He said looking at the name on the white shirt you were wearing

-Oh..yes..here the change

-Keep it..have a nice evening  Y/N

-But sir... it's like 40$

-I know.. it's fine.. I'll come again..see you

And from that night, every day at 18.30 before the cafeteria closed he came in ordering a slice of chocolate cake and an americano. He sat near the window and stayed there for 20 minutes before going back to work.

Sometimes you talked, about his job and about yours..his dreams and yours.. it was nice, you thought.

He was, unlike his public image, a sweet man who dreamed of a family and a nice house in Seoul and one at the beach.. a daughter and a son to whom he would have taught English as a second language; a nice wife who would have attended his concert and danced with him on and off stage, someone who could stand  him and his crazy lifestyle.

-Y/N!!!!

Jimin's voice brought you back into reality

-Y/N, you have no idea

-What??

-He's here!! With another super hot man and Kiseok!!

-Are you talking about Jay?

Not answering you, Jimin grabbed your hand and walked with you in the big living room where you saw him, wearing a black suit and looking around with Kiseok and another man.

Your eyes finally met and you saw he was surprised to see you there too.

Auntie probably saw everything because she didn't lost the chance to excuse herself from some guests and approached the three and walked to you

-OMG they're coming here...what to do Y/N??????

You were so shocked that no words left your mouth, and when auntie finally made the formal introductions you were able to murmur some disconnected words

-So Y/N, Jiminie..they're my beloved sons and Kiseok, their friend

-Sons????

-Jimine...please.... you know that our beloved Youngjae had 2 sons from his previous wedding....didn't you?

-I thought..they were like 20 or something..

-Hi Y/N, how are you?

Jay asked you not even bothering o listening auntie and Jimin discussing

-I..I am ok...You?

-I'm fine..now

His smile took your breath away and you felt like melting for a moment

-I have to go now, have fun boys!

-I will

He didn't take his eyes away from you while Auntie kissed his cheek softly and winked at you..Did she know for the entire time he was the one you were talking about?

-Ya Kisok, let's go

-Shouldn't you talk to me with a little more respect Jiminssi?

-Hell no

-Ya

-And you are....

-Jehan..and I am going to get a drink

-I'll come with you

The three of them just went away while Kiseok was scolding Jimin for being maybe a bit too savage.

-So...you know auntie?

-She's Jiminie's aunt..

-Woo..the world is really small

-I guess so

-Let's go outside..shall we?

He offered his hand and you followed him at the villa's terrace where no one was.

You didn't know what to think, still shocked from what just happened and strangely happy that he was there, with you.

You suddenly something warm on your shoulders and turned around to realised he placed his jacket on you to protect you from the cold hair.

-Thanks..

-You're really pretty

-Oh.. it's just the dress

-No I am pretty sure it's you..

Looking away you bit your lower lip and you felt him getting closer.. you looked down and hoped that the dark night would have to hide your blushy cheeks.

-Y/N..

-Yea?

-Can  I kiss you?

You felt like your heart stopped for a moment, and then you looked at him not understanding what he really wanted.

-Y/N?

-Why?

-Ermm-..

Now he was the blushy ones, his sudden shy side was showing and you couldn't help but think how cute he was.

-Jaebum..

-I like you Y/N..very much..and.. I don't know.. I feel like I don't wanna skip some steps with you and making sure you want the same. It's like my life got.. I don't' know.. normal?

Like.. when I met you I worked till late, got out and got drunk, but now.. I am more responsible... I still go out and get drunk, but just on the weekends.. and .. I feel like I need to get my life together so that I can have a chance with you.

His sudden confession caught you off guard, but at the same time, it was like It was meant to be..

You were both so similar.

-Why wouldn't I give you a chance before?

-Maybe you would but I would have screw up everything

-Ahahahah

-I am serious..so..can

-Yes

You didn't let him finish and looked at him in his dark eyes, he cupped your face and softly kissed you.

His lips were soft, sweet and your hands immediately went to his chest while he deepened the kiss, meeting your tongue with his and slowly kissing you.

It was like one of those morning kisses, where you just woke up and you're almost still sleeping but you want to kiss your partner to let know him how much you love him even in the morning.

Those sloppy kisses were your favourites, slow and caring.. it let you taste his lips and memorised it so that you wouldn't forget him during the night.

You stayed like this for what it seems like hours, couldn't get away from each other..couldnot get enough from each other.

You heard a voice calling you from the villa and you saw auntie from the windows calling for you

-Y/N!!!!!

-Yes auntie!!!

You didn't bother to get away from his arms but stayed like that founding yourself incredibly comfortable.

-Y/N, is Jay there??

-I am!!!

-Cool, I'll get a room ready for you, Y/N wanna stay here you too with Jay??

-Auntie!!!!!!!!!!

-What?? I told you you would have found a husband at my party!

-Oh my God auntie!!

-Jiminie already found his!!

-What??

You looked at the living room through the windows and you saw Kiseok and Jimin dancing together and smiling

-Look at her..

-They're cute

.Yea

-Not like us tho..

You looked at him and caressed his dark hair

-You can say that..

-Ok I guess I'll just have to find Jehan someone

-Auntie...

-The party is over, I'll go to bed and you just.. no babies yet ok??

-Auntie!!!!!!!

You both said while she was going back inside and Jay looked back at you, with a big smile on his face, returning to kiss you softly and forgetting again of the rest of the word.

A collection of only a few logs of messages from Murdoc Faust Niccals to Russel Hobbs Jr between 2012 and 2014. Most of these are, er, left unanswered. Continue with caution. (also on ao3)

[LOG 1]

[08:14] Long time no see big drummer boy

> I know, I know. You miss me terribly. Spare the details.

>Have you checked your mail? You might see a little package sent from yours truly

>I can't exactly spell it out for you across the interwebs, babe, with all of these thousands of bots watching. I've been listening to these tech geeks and while their fashion sense is abhorrent they have raised a few good points about what I can and cannot let go uh. Leaking on here.

>What I'm trying to say is that once you've checked your daily mail UK I do expect to be...hearing back from you. In person, that is.

[15:47] And please don't feed me that “hurrr I don't no how t reed a mahp!” crap because if I remember correctly YOU were the one that got on MY case about getting lost in Vegas and somehow ~magically~ got us back in Miami.

>You were so proud of yourself it made me gag.

> Take the map and get your butt in gear, Hobbs. You get lost in the middle of the ocean I'm sure as hell not searching for you.

I'm always so close to finally taking it too far with my drinking and throwing myself into that boogieman’s arms and ending it. But I just wanna see you one last time.

> I love you.

[06:18] for once I'm hoping you didn't read that

[LOG 119]

[22:12] I thought inviting de la soul onto the album would really spice things up

>instead we got some fucking jingle about jellyfeet or whatever

>it wouldn't be that good if it was all just sad songs I suppose

>I guess I'm more angry that I can't come up with anything as poppy as that lately

[23:00] aw fuck it this song grew on me

> we can have some when you get here

[LOG 155]

[05:17] Hey remember that one time Noodle got mad at us because we were mixing “our” cereal with “hers”

> that was like, 8 years ago, wasn't it?

> holy shit

> I feel so old

[06:15] I miss you

[LOG 176]

[03:55] 2D keeps looking at me with his wide white-out eyes and it makes me so angry because those are your eyes

>But I'm not looking at your face

>I didn't think it was possible for me to hate him even more but here I am

[LOG 177]

[13:33] who am I kidding

> everything reminds me of you

> I hate it so fucking much

> I think I'm losing my mind

> its been what? A year? A little over a year? And I'm still hanging on the hope that you'll appear out of nowhere

Dragon Ball 014 - Krillin is Here

It’s time to start a new story arc!  Episodes 14-28 are referred to as the Tournament Arc, which I think means we’re headed for a World Martial Arts Tournament.  I know we’re headed for Master Roshi!  Let’s liveblog Dragon Ball!

Aww, I was hoping the theme song would have some new footage.  Not yet, huh?

Goku over here like, “Getting’ me a NEW grandpa!”  Goku’s going home to pack his stuff, now that’s he’s been adopted.

STELLAR DRIVING THERE, YAMCHA

Everybody bailed out in time.  Looks like they stranded themselves somewhere in the jungle.  Is this gonna be the B-plot for this season?

Oh hey, that’s not from the crash.  That’s the ankle she hurt running from Goku last episode!  Continuity!

I can appreciate Yamcha immediately boyfriending the heck out of Bulma.  Lookit all that casual skin contact.  Boy’s come so far.  C:

“IF ONLY GOKU WERE HERE TO PROTECT US!!”

“I can protect you, Bulma.”

“IF ONLY GOKU WERE HERE”

So I’m watching these subbed with the Japanese voice acting, and I suddenly realized I’ve learned the word “ningen” (human/person) and I’m guessing Dragon Ball Super is to blame.

Anyway here’s a purple ningen.  Krillin why are you purple?  There’s nothing in the lighting of this scene to make you purple.

Also where are your little forehead dots?

A cute Goku who is excited.

He’s not living isolated in the woods anymore you guys.  He’s gonna have a family again you guys.

I’m so sorry it had to be Master Roshi though, kiddo.

Roshi, Allowing Goku unlimited access to your refrigerator is a Bad Idea.  But considering he’s just kind of ignoring the orphan he just adopted, nah.  He had this coming.

Goku discovering new technology is always precious.

Hope you’ve got the funds to feed this kid, buddy, ‘cause he’s yours now and he is never going to grow out of this.

YOU TOLD HIM HE COULD, YOU HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELF

A cute, buttery Goku face!  C:

Did you straight up forget you adopted this kid?  It’s been, like, four days since you offered to adopt this kid.

Bulma and crew have somehow gone from the jungle to the desert.

Bulma over here thinking to herself, what a good boyfriend.  Ten out of ten boyfriend.  100% boyfriend material.  Here is a boyfriend and he is mine and he is my boyfriend.

Krillin found his dots!  They were in the desert the whole time.

Roshi just casually drinking off-brand beer out of a wineglass.  Classy.

OH.  HONEY.

The girl he brings back will indeed fulfill both of those requirements!

Roshi, buddy, maybe you aren’t cut out to raise a kid.  You’re just… not knocking it out of the park today on the responsible guardian front.  Maybe hand the kid over to Baba?  I betcha Baba could raise a kid.

“Yeah, but some stuff happened and now Pilaf’s house and life are both in shambles.  Odds are pretty slim of that happening twice though, so you’re probably fine.”

I mean, if nothing else you can appreciate the effort he’s putting forth to impress his new… er… lady friend.  Like, sure he’s dragging her to his island for his own sexual gratification, but she needs to think he’s suave.

…Actually, she’s adorable.  She’s clearly in the middle of a workout, but she did her hair all nice and put on makeup anyway.

Hey let’s stick a headcanon here!  So, Goku grew up alone in the woods, never seeing another human being besides his grandpa.  He has absolutely no context for societal standards of beauty, so he’s going off his own instincts regarding what a beautiful girl looks like.  And to a Saiyan, a tough weightlifter would be pretty attractive!  Look, those barbells are bigger than HE is.

“Hmmm… Well which one is stronger?”

“You’re missing the point.”

“I want a girl who can deck me in the face!”

Man, I can’t tell if the wordplay in this show is incredibly clever or incredibly stupid, but either way I am loving it.

Yeah man, just turn it into a teaching moment.  You totally meant to do that.

Hey, do you ever think about just how incredibly different Roshi and Gohan are as people?  From what we know about Gohan so far, he always tried to teach Goku to have immense respect for women.  And yet he was Master Roshi’s close friend and student.  You gotta wonder what kind of character dynamic that led to during their training.

Like, was Gohan sort of a balancing moral force to keep Roshi in check?  Is Gohan’s respect for women specifically because he watched Roshi disrespect them?  Or did he learn that much later in life, and was he more like Roshi when he was young?  It’s just interesting to think about.  I wonder if the show will ever go into it.

(krillin is here)

Krillin is here.

KRILLIN IS HERE.

KRILLIN IS HERE!

KRILLIN! IS! HEEEEEERE!!

Betcha he spent forever practicing that entrance.  Gotta make a good first impression.  On the beach.  With your face.

Goku’s a special case because he’s the grandson of an old friend and previous student, and because you like, kind of adopted him, so if he’s gonna be living here anyway you might as well train him.  But yeah, I can see not just accepting random strangers.

Krillin DID HIS RESEARCH.

This kid used to have kind of an evil character design.  He’s not even an antagonist in this arc, he’s just sort of a jerk.

You two.  You twoooo.  You two are gonna get so much stronger and grow so much as people and become best friends and I can’t wait!!  Lookit Krillin’s judgey little face over there.  Buddy you have no idea the kinds of amazing adventures you are gonna have with this kid.

Krillin is not pure of heart.

I dunno man, I have questions about this cloud-based morality system.  What specifically counts as pure of heart?  Is it like… not having sexual desires?  That can’t be right, since I’m pretty sure Chi-chi will always be able to ride it and she sure ain’t ace.  Maybe it’s not having selfish motivations?

BINGO!  It was selfish motivations!

I wonder if Krillin would be able to ride it in Z or Super if he tried?  He’s gotten a lot of character development since this moment.

You are gonna get the Best Girl.

So much!  SO MUCH lies ahead for these two!

This sly, selfish little kid is SUCH a different character right here than the person he’ll eventually grow into, and I’m curious to watch that change take place and see how gradual it is and what moments have their impacts on him.  I really like Krillin you guys.  I have his Funko Pop.

But since the episode’s over (wow, this felt like a short one) I guess we’ll see more of him next time we liveblog Dragon Ball!
