Joon baby-ing his innocent gf and it turns him on like a corruption kink during sex (for request please!)

tags: daddy!nj, the trope where their partner gets turned on from eating a popsicle :-)

it was humorous. the moment namjoon was back from hitting the gym, you had recently just grabbed another popsicle from the fridge. "oh, hi," you sheepishly say, unwrapping the ice cream from its package.

namjoon drops his bag on the counter and doesn't waste any more time wrapping his arms around your waist, lifting you. you squeal, securing your legs around him, keeping your popsicle safe. you can smell the fresh coconut scent from his body, indicating that he just had a shower before coming back to the apartment.

"what were you up to, baby, hmm?" he sits you down on the kitchen island. namjoon, being conveniently taller than you, easily places his hips between your legs, trapping your body with his buff arms.

"i was about to watch a movie," you reply, licking the watermelon-flavored popsicle.

"yeah, baby?" namjoon watches you suck the cold desert in your mouth. he did not have a clue whether you were doing it on purpose, but he was loving the view admittedly.

"mhm!"

namjoon could only watch how your lips were covered in melted cream, fighting the strong urge to kiss you -- and take you here and then on the counter. the whole time he was working out, he couldn't stop thinking about you. protecting you was one of his top priorities, and that entails being physically capable to do so. you wouldn't admit to it, but he knows that it turns you on whenever he would handle you roughly.

the popsicle was quick to melt, and you furiously had to catch the cream with your tongue before it could drip onto your fingers. namjoon breathes heavily, clenching his jaw as he locks eyes with yours.

"what?" you ask innocently, licking your lips clean before proceeding to wrap your mouth around the popsicle. "why do you look angry?"

namjoon could only grin. he shakes his head, "you know what you're doing."

your eyebrows crease together in confusion, "no? wait, what?"

namjoon decides to play with you this time.

"what is this behavior, hm? didn't daddy ever teach you to share?"

you were caught off-guard when namjoon tightly grabs a hold of your wrist where your hand holds the popsicle and directs the food into his mouth. your breath hitches the moment he licks a broad swipe of the popsicle, bottom to top.

you blush uncontrollably.

"baby girl," namjoon groans, "you liked that, don't you? don't lie to daddy."

you timidly nod.

"see? that's what daddy feels as well while you were sucking this thing like a cockslut."

you were astounded by his choice of words, making you speechless.

"aww, look at my baby," he coos, caressing your heated cheeks. "are you getting shy now, huh? nuh-ah-ah, look at daddy--" he puts his index finger below your chin and nudges your head up to maintain eye contact.

he smiles, taking the popsicle from you. "open," he commands, and you follow almost immediately. namjoon directs the popsicle inside your mouth, "suck. yeah, that's a good girl."

"enough of this," he discards the popsicle, ignoring your cries and protests of wasting food. namjoon carries you to the couch, hovering above your frail body with your wrists above your head. his mouth leaves a trail of kisses from your jaw, down to your neck, and then back up to your lips. you tried struggling away from his grip, but it only resulted in him warning you with a click of his tongue.

"daddy thought you looked so innocent licking that popsicle i brought for you, baby. gives me an idea of how you would look if i fucked your mouth rough."

"daddy," you moan, feeling his rough hand underneath your shirt and groping your tits. "please..."

"please what? please fuck your mouth?" he replies mockingly, "can you even handle a cock like mine down your throat, huh?"

he inserts his middle and pointer finger inside your mouth without any obstruction from you. he slowly pushes the two digits further inside your mouth until you gag, "ohh, baby," namjoon sighs in delight, "i think i need to train this pretty throat before i can fully shove my dick inside it. yeah? before you know it, you'll be begging for a throatfuck every single time you see me."

he pulls his fingers out with a string of saliva connecting to your lips. you release a deep exhale after being hindered from breathing properly.

"you'll be a good slut for me in no time, little girl. daddy just needs to break you in first."

how would you analyize or interpret the song walls?cause i‘ve heard a lot of people say it‘s a break up song as it‘s written in past tense and basically saying he‘s stronger now after a break up (maybe even from a toxic relationship), he‘s risen above it and it doesn‘t really sound like a love song about an ongoing romance, does it?

Hi anon this is going to be a long one bc there is no quick answer to this so just know you asked for this.

First let's get one thing straight the ones who claim Walls [the album in general] is a break up album are the "Rads" short for Radical Louies. Essentially they are toxic louies who once were a larry shipper [not even a real larrie] but now hate Harry bc their mad Louis hasn't gotten the same promo and solo opportunities Harry has and some how in their eyes that's Harry's fault. They don't see it was Syco trying to sabotage Louis and in no way is Louis being sabotaged Harry's fault. Rads try to twist the truth and believe Harry left Louis for fame so since they hate Harry they have twisted the meaning of Walls to in their head a break up from a toxic relationship. They also really want LT2 to be a HUGE SHADE break up album which is 100% not the case so don't believe their crap.

Tho I heard you may have sent this same ask to others [who probably ignored you] so there is a chance you are a rad trying to find out what larries believe. Either way if you are a confused larrie or an undercover rad you probably need this info that no one else will bother giving you the time of day to tell you but I myself thought why not I'll answer you.

Second Louis and Harry have been happily in love for 10 years and have not officially broken up. Yes they have had issues like any couple does but it did not stem from eachother their issues stemed from them being forcibly closeted, the stunt gfs and their labels thus their songs are not break up songs but songs about not being able to be free and forced to fake date others when all they want is to publicly be with the one they love.

Now that that is out of the way here's why Walls is about Louis loving one person and one person only since he was 18. I'm doing the whole album [minus TOU] bc it is impossible to state why Walls the song is not a break up song without mentioning the others like Too Young [which rads also claim as a break up song] bc the album as a whole paints the whole picture.

Bree's analysis on Walls

Kill My Mind:

You kill my mind, raise my body back to life and I don't know what I'd do without you now.

KMM is definitely the sexual song of Walls [not No Control type sexual but just we click right from the start sexual] It has the I just met you and we are figuring one another out vibe [both physically and just as people] and how right from the start Louis craves Harry and his attention. It has a similar vibe to Watermelon Sugar which Harry said is about the euphoria of falling in love and the way the other person makes you feel right from the start. Louis in KMM is saying I've just meet someone and they are now all I think about, crave and I don't know how I would be able to live without them.

Don't Let It Break Your Heart:

And I know you left apart of you in New York under your bed in a box, but your doing better.

Flashback to HS1 "Ever Since New York" seems like they both love to mention something happening in NY with their lover. We may never know what happened but it's always a funny coincidence when they mention the same places in their songs almost like their singing about the same situation.

Life gets hard and it gets messed up when you give so much, but it's not enough when the highs to high and the lows to low when you love somone and they let you go.

As I stated before their issues involved the stunts [fake dating women] so when Louis says love someone and they let you go he means when his lover gave into what they were being told to do for the sake of their careers. As young as they were when this all started it's hard not to think they may have fell for the lies being fed to them. So Harry let "Louis go" by being seeing with a ton of women gaining himself the brand of "lady's man" while also being forced to watch Louis be with someone else [Eleanor] and publicly act like that was the one he loved. Harry wrote the song Just a Little Bit of Your Heart which is a prime exactly of those feelings. Harry loves Louis so much but he only gets to love him privately while Eleanor gets to loves him publicly and as Harry wrote a little bit of your love is better then none.

Were driving down a one way road to something better. What hurts you is going to pass you'll be doing better.

This shows they know the pain all the bad things thrown their way won't stick around forever. They will overcome this and one day they will see the light at the end of the tunnel or the rainbow after the storm.

We Made It:

Cause we made it, Underestimated and always underrated. Now we're saying goodbye waving to the hard time yeah it's gonna be already.

Do I need to explain it I would say the title alone and this chorus makes it very clear. Break up who when where how? They had hard ships but NOT from their own doing. WMI is about how decpite all they were put through they made it. Flashback to Harry HS1 tour with Kacey in a rainbow dress at MSG in front of 36k people singing "[their/where] still together still going strong." They want you to know nothing will break them apart no matter how hard anyone tries. We are keeping the bad in the past and moving forward to a better tomorrow.

Share a single bed and tell each other what we dream about. Things we'd never say to someone else out loud.

This reminds me of their Xfactor days or early 1D tour days bc in 1D interviews it was always made clear they would share rooms and also how on the bus Louis bunk was filled with his junk so where did he sleep then? Also there are many former Xfactor contestants that have come out and said they were forced to be in the closet on the show. Flashback to an article claiming the people in charge of the 2010 Xfactor season tried to hide and keep a same sex couple apart wonder who that was? That line is about when they were young and the late nights they spent together wondering how their future was going to go. They were still just big smiles, wide eyed, oblivious young boys when they imagined only good things to come of the future with them and the band.

We were only kids just trying to work it out. Wonder what they'd say if they could see us now?/ Don't know why they put all of this on us when we're so young. Done a pretty good job dealing with it all.

We were only kids [when Louis fell in love with said person] and we're so young reminds me of Harry's song To Be So Lonely where he says "Don't blame me for falling I was just a little boy." They both mention falling in love at a young age and both mention how after all this time they are still just as in love as back then but just a little less naive/oblivious. They are both hinting at a higher person [their label/management] who didn't approve of their love and telling them it wasn't going to work out. Harry going you can't be mad at me I was only a boy and Louis going wonder what would happen if they saw us now meaning look we didn't let you win. They tried so hard to separate Louis and Harry but it didn't work and Louis wants us and THEM especially to know they are still very much together, they handled it as best at they could and they weren't going to let them keep Louis and Harry apart.

Meet you at your uni, cheap drink, drink em all night

This is what we call a stunt line to push a narrative. Harry does stunt songs [Carolina and Cherry] while Louis does stunt lines. This line is suppose to allude to the album being for Eleanor [bc she went to Manchester Uni] but the rest of the album is so clearly not for her. If this song was about a break up from Harry then why would they bother adding in a stunt line about Eleanor when the public story is El and Louis are happily still together with Louis planning to marry her? Unless Walls isn't a break up album and it's very loudly Louis declaring him and Harry are still happily together and they wanted to try and force the image that Louis is happily in love with Eleanor. Also funny how this album is gender neutral and has no she pronouns in it unlike Zayn's new album having she pronouns.

Too Young:

We were to young to know we had everything. Too Young, I wish I could've seen it all along. I'm sorry that I hurt you, darling, no we were to young

This song is all about how when Harry was only 16 and he was 18 [Louis himself saying the song is about meeting the one at 18] he was to young to realize he had the best lover he was ever going to have, he had it all. As I said before issues in songs = management/stunts and this is Illuding to how Louis let them minupulate them and do what it was they wanted aka stunting and forcing Louis to be with Eleanor and Harry have a "lady's image" since he was only 16 and Louis now looking back and realizing he should have fought harder. Louis at the time didn't realize how much all this would hurt Harry having to share Louis [once again Just a Little Bit of Your Heart is Harry's feelings about that] and its once he's older he realizes what he did to hurt the only one who he ever truly loved and it pains him to know he put his lover through that even if it wasn't Louis fault Harry went through that.

I've been looking back a lot lately me and you is all I've ever known. Oh I can't believe I gave in to the pressure. When they said a love like this would never last. I didn't know no better now I realize yeah I realize.

So similar to before he's saying Harry is all he's ever known and him giving in to the pressure was about agreeing to fake date Eleanor and allow them to be heavily closeted. Reflecting back on those days he regrets so much what he agreed to do. They said a love like this wouldn't last is their management/label not agreeing with them being together and how two boys in a boyband marketed towards young women won't last, they won't sell records as an out gay couple with Louis believing their lies for a bit and he now regrets ever thinking they were right. This is a reflection song of not understanding what he had when he was so young but he sees it clearly now and he will never let THEM win he loves Harry and won't ever let him go ever.

Walls:

These high walls, they came up short now I stand taller then them all. These high walls never broke my soul and I watched them all come fallin down for you.

The high walls he refers to is all the assholes who tried to break him, break Harry and tried to ruin his career out of spite. This is towards the ones who told him they would never succeed being as they are a committed gay couple. Louis for a time believed them when they said their love wouldn't last, no one will want to listen to their music as a gay couple but eventually he realized they were wrong and those walls he had up filling him with doubt and insecurities were broken down. He allowed his "high walls" to come down because Harry was worth the effort it took to bring them down.

So this one is a thank you for what you did to me. Why is it that thank you's are often bittersweet? I just hope I see you one day and you say to me, Oh.

This is what one calls a metaphor he does not mean a physical person he means the walls he had up for a long time making him feel so insecure bc of how some of the people around him that made him feel so worthless crushing his spirt for so long. The metaphorical person he is thanking for helping him become the person he is today is the wall he broke down. The hardships he dealt with when he was younger got him to where he is today.

For every question why you were my because

Why am I still fighting?

Why have I not given up yet?

The because to his question is his lover HERE is where he directly refers to his lover. Harry is someone who is worth fighting for and will always be one of the reasons he hasn't stopped fighting. He loves Harry more then anything and will fight until the day he can publicly hold his hand, publicly post pictures of them together, publicly go on dates and publicly declare his love for him.

Habit:

You're the habit that I can't break, you're the feeling I can't put down, you're the shiver that I can't shake, you're the habit that I can't break, you're the high that I need right now.

Written over and over throughout the song these are some of the most important lines he wrote about Harry. It's Louis way of saying even if he wanted to, even if it would be easier for him and Harry he can never let him go. Harry's version of this is in Adore You when he sings "You don't have to say you love me, you don't have to say nothing and you don't have to say you're mine. I'd walk through fire for you just let me adore you like it's the only thing I'll ever do." Harry is saying even if publicly you can never say you love me I know you do and I will do anything for you because I am madly in love and could never let you go. They both would go through hell along side each other then being partially happy and the other not being by their side. Harry is the only one he ever wants to spend his life with and no matter what hardships they are put through there is no scenario where being without each other is a better alternative.

I took some time 'cause I've ran out of energy of playing someone I heard I'm supposed to be but honestly, I don't have to choose anymore

The line of all lines he took time away bc he was tired of the facade of faking what makes him happy, faking loving some girl, faking being anything but himself. He's back now and knows without a doubt who he is and is proud of it. No more confusion, no more lies he loves a curly haired dimpled boy and no one will tell him he can't love him. Harry's version of this is the chorus of Lights Up "All the lights couldn't put out the dark, runnin' through my heart. Lights up and they know who you are, know who you are. Do you know who you are? Shine step into the light, shine so bright sometimes, shine I'm not ever going back." They both tell you they have figured out whi they are and are very proud of who they have become and no one will tell them they can't be anything but themselves. They WILL scream it out loud and proud letting everyone know who they love one day [as if 16 and 18 year old H&L didn't already do that.]

And it's been ages, different stages come so far from Princess Park. I'll always need ya in front of me, in front of me

Oh the line that shocked every larrie I know. When he first sang this song and we first heard this line at a live concert everyone was shocked because we all knew what their was only one meaning to it. It was such a drastic line that the Elounors tried to claim he sang Starbuck [until the official lyrics came out.] Princess Park is the name of the apartment/flat complex all of the 1D boys lived in after the Xfactor BUT Niall, Liam and Zayn had their own apartment/flat while Louis and Harry shared one and they always made it very clear to everyone they met that they lived together.

So in a love song Louis sings about how him and his lover have come so far since their Princess Park days and his lover will always be the one he needs. Putting Harry's fav love song Sweet Creature plus Louis line about his lover together it would read " And, oh, we started two hearts in one home, come so far [since] princess park. I'll always need you in front of me. Wherever I go you bring me home" you do the math here. Their lyrics sink up just as much as their tattoos do.

Always You:

I went to Amsterdam without you and all I could do was think about you and oh-oh-oh I should've known

The Amsterdam line one of those lines that can be fact checked and proven to not be for Eleanor. So Louis took Eleanor to Amsterdam for her birthday at a gay bar no less back in July/August of 2017. Then a week or two later wrote the song Always You leaking a snippet of it to us where the lines of him singing about how he went to Amsterdam without his lover and his lover was all he could think about were heard. If he went with Eleanor then clearly that isn't his lover but we know this. Fast forward 2020 Walls comes out and we FINALLY hear the full song of Always You.

Louis said he only put the song on the album because the fans wanted it but if it was just because of us and the song wasn't THAT important to him why did he leak those lines back in 2017 that could easily be fact checked that the lover he sings about isn't Eleanor? It's like he wanted us to know it's not for Eleanor this line is important. So the fact that almost 3 years later he still put the song out shows the song means a lot to him and even in 2020 the meaning of the song still resonates with him and how it will Always be THIS one person that means everything to him. Funny though how his loudest, easily fact checkable songs [to not be about Eleanor] are the ones he downplays the most about importance to him.

I went to Tokyo to let it go. Drink after drink, but I still felt alone I should've known

When it comes to this song the Amsterdam line is Louis speaking [because he went to Amsterdam without Harry] while the Tokyo line is Harry speaking [because Harry went to Tokyo without Louis] and after Harry came back from Tokyo, Japan Louis was seen wearing a ton of new clothes from Japanese clothing brands. This is both of them saying I may be in a wonderful new place but it's not the same without you here. They are sad and alone and would rather be with each other then traveling around the world.

I'm wastin' my time when it was always you, always you. Chasin' the high, but it was always you, always you

I think this is self explanatory he sees no reason to even think about being with someone else because he knows without a shadow of doubt [thinks he always knew deep down] it was always Harry. There was never going to be anyone else for him but Harry.

I went from LAX to Heathrow. Walked through my door, but it felt nothing like home cause you're not home. Waiting to wrap your legs around me

LA and London are their two main residences and places they tend to go back and forth a lot. When he "goes home" if Harry is not there Louis feels as though it doesn't really feel like home because home to Louis is wherever Harry is. They can travel all around the world, meet a ton of new people but no place and others will ever make them feel fully satisfied unless their lover is by their side.

Fearless:

Cashin your weekend treasures, for a suit and time a second wife. Now I'm not saying that you could have done better just remember that I, I've seen that fire alight.

The first line is a nod to the industry itself and how to get your "weekend tresures" [be famous and earn a lot of money] you have to put up a fake facade, acting and looking the way they want you to because in their eyes if you are not the conventional person Hollywood wants they believe you will not make them the money they desire because we all know they only care about money nothing else. At a cost of the real them they must put on a fake smile, go out there sing doing nothing unconventional and they will get money and fame.

The second line yes they are happily together and Louis doesn't want or believe Harry will find someone else but he has seen Harry when all of this gets to be to much and when Harry puts up a facade of I've never had an issue with all of this Louis reminds him that I've seen you when your not fine, it's ok to not always be fine and I am here for you when things are not rainbows and sunshine.

Tell me do you still remember feeling young? And strong enough to get it wrong in front of all these people? Just for tonight, look inside and spark that memory of you.

Refering back to Xfactor and early 1D days he's asking Harry if he remembers those days together back when they hadn't really gone through hardships yet and all the strength they had during their youth willing to take on the world together. He's asking him to bring that strength back and remember the younger version of himself. He's asking him to not give up because the younger him wouldn't want him to. It's been 10 years and they are still fighting, fighting as hard as they did when they were merely teenagers not knowing what lied ahead but wer happy as long as it meant they had each other in the end.

Now if happiness is always measured by the life we design, the car on the drive then you should feel better then ever but you know as well as I it's all lies.

This line speaks volumes as stated before with Fearless we have references to the industry and even just life in general. From the outside looking in they got money, fame, material things, they have it all and if deciding who is more happy in life was based on those things then they would win but Louis is telling Harry we both know that isn't the case. The industry isn't sunshine and rainbows, they treat people like shit and strip away everything about a person if they don't think their real self will sell. They only want to make a profit off them and don't care about how they feel about any of it. Everything is a lie the truth must be counseled.

Perfect Now:

You say to me your jeans don't fit, you don't feel pretty and it's hard to miss. I wish you could see my point of view as someone staring back at you.

This song is personally underrated to me I love this song. This song is so uplifting when you are feeling insecure and negative about yourself. Louis personally had a certain curly haired boy in mind when he wrote this. He's talking about Harry's insecurities with himself and Louis wishes Harry could see things from his view and how amazing and perfect Harry is to him.

Cause everybody is looking at you now. I guess some queens don't need a crown and I know why. Even when your tears are following now still someone, you're perfect now.

One of those it's definitely not for Eleanor moments. We all know [especially during fine line era] everyone was talking about Harry, knows his name and eyes turn to him when he walks in the room. Louis is so proud of Harry and is happy everyone else sees what he sees but Harry doesn't always see what others see in him and during those times where he is not already Louis is saying I will be right there with you. I am with you through the good and the bad because even when tears are running down his face Harry is still perfect to Louis.

Cause you're the only one when it's said and done. You make me feel like being someone good to you. Even at your worst you steal the scene.

No matter where life takes them, no matter how hard it gets Louis is reassuring Harry he will always be there by his side. At the end of it all when the final act is over and the curtain is closeting he will still be there because there will never be anyone else he wants to be next to at the end of all of this. Louis looks into Harry's eyes he watches all he does and is intrance wanting nothing more then being the one to be there when he is down and always being the who makes the pain go away even if for a moment.

Defenseless:

I hate to say, but I do we're sleeping on our problems like we'll solve them in our dreams. We walk up early morning and they're still under our sheets.

*Sigh* this is reality setting in things aren't perfect. In their line of work, being who they are, being a closeted gay couple things aren't going to be perfect 100% of the time. Most of the time they would rather ignore all the shit they are forced to indure but Louis realizes just ignoring it all won't make it go away he will wake up each morning next to Harry knowing those issues will always be around by neither fault of their own. He hopes one day they will get to be a happily open couple who posts pics online, goes out on public dates and gets to live the domestic life they always wanted but right now that just isn't their reality. Their reality is I can only look at you for more then 5 seconds or touch you when no one is around to notice.

Been up all night, all night running my lines but it's only the truth. Been up all night not sure how to say this right got so much to loose. / You just keep on building up your fences but I've been so defenseless.

Another metaphor here Louis wondering how to bring this up to Harry and not upset him. The last thing Louis ever wants is for him to be the reason Harry has a frown upon is wonderful face. Harry is more the one to bottle up and ignore the negative things while Louis is the more practical one and he knows he has a ton to loose [Harry and his love] if he doesn't go about this situation right.

No you don't have to keep on being strong for you and me acting like you feel no pain I know you do. And I can't get inside your head when you're lost in your pride but you don't have a thing to prove.

Harry is the one who bottles up his pain, puts on the fake smiles, and makes everyone believe he is perfectly fine. He acts like he can handle what he is forced to indure 100% of the time but Louis sees through that and just wants him to open up more. He knows Harry feels just as much pain as he does and wishes he wouldn't hide it and pretend everything is always fine. Louis wants to be able to help Harry through the pain and to let know he will always be there for him no matter what so don't pretend your always fine just to make others around him, make Louis feel better.

I hope I'm not asking to much just wanna be loved by you. And I'm to tired to be tough just wanna be loved by you.

Louis is tired of pretending, wishes everyone understood, wishes what he is asking for wasn't to much. All he wants is to be loved by Harry and live the domestic life he always invisioned with Harry and no one else but his live is not that simple.

Only The Brave:

Pour mercy, mercy on me, set fire to history. I'm breaking my own rules, I'm crying like a fool. It's a church of burnt romances and I'm to far gone to pray. It's a solo song and it's only for the brave.

I'm sure you understand Louis is gay but if you didn't this line right here is all you need to understand that. No straight man is going to write or sing those lines. He's gone down a path of self discovery and figuring himself out he knows he is and he is to far gone to turn back now but he has no desire to even if he could turn back. He is proud of who he is and doesn't care what anyone else thinks of him.

If the truth tell, darling, you fell, like their ain't enough dying stars in your sky. It's a tell tale and it's only hello, hello, no goodbyes.

It's only hello no goodbyes meaning the confusion, the is this for life between Louis and Harry questions are gone. They aren't turning back, they aren't saying goodbye, they are only saying hello to what lies ahead. The truth is clear, their story is clear, they fell for one another and Harry metaphorical speaking fell for Louis in a way where his star shines brighter then ever just by being with him.

Pour mercy, mercy on me, I'll fall upon my knees and they'll say, I told you so come on when you know you know. All the lonely shadows dancing from the cradle to the grave.

When you know you know they knew right from the start it's me and you until the end. Some won't agree but in the end that does not matter to Louis because he only cares about Harry being by his side. He will not apologize for falling in love he loves who he loves and that is it.

We Made It Directors Cut MV:

If the lyrics alone don't tell you the full story then the music video mini movie should. It sums up everything I explained. Louis being forced to do things he doesn't want, it effecting his relationship to the point their drowning [Harry in Falling MV] but manage to survive. Louis lover never speaking but the girl with ties to the evil one in charge does until eventually Louis breaks free from the man in charge controlling him and Louis finally gets to run away with his lover because he made sure they would make it in the end.

Ending:

Walls is about self discovery, learning to overcome your insecurities "breaking down your walls" no matter how hard it may be and Louis understanding he met the one at 18 and how Harry will always be worth fighting for, THEY will always be worth it bc they knew even as young as they were they were going to get married, have kids and grow old together. So you still want to tell me how any song on Walls is about a break up or Louis moving on from Harry because I certainly don't see it. Walls is Louis perspective on their 10 year relationship and his support and love towards Harry if you want Harry's perspective and his support and love toward Louis you would have to dive into HS and FL but that's a whole other analysis.

They have not given up on each other even if at times it would have been easier they didn't so I will never give up on them. They continue to fight I have been in this fandom supporting them for 10 years watching their continous fight and I will be here another 10 years supporting them if that is how long it takes for them to get the life they knew they wanted when they were only 16 and 18.

#larry is still together going strong #walls lyric analysis #walls is not a break up album #larry is and always will be real #louis #harry #larry stylinson

I’m finding it really hard to work / study today for some reason so I’ll avoid it by doing this tag! Thanks @skamesp for tagging me ♥

Alias/name: my favourite name to be called is Mazu 💖

Birthday: July 29th

Zodiac sign: Leo sun, Cancer moon, Virgo rising ♌♋♍

Hobbies: Watching films, of course, specially at the cinema but everything goes. I also like reading and embroidering from time to time, playing board games and just do all those quiet things introverts are known for loving

Favorite color: green!

Favorite book: I’ve mentioned “Stone Butch Blues” enough, so I’m going to say my favourite books I’ve read this year so far, which were definitely “The metamorphosis” by Kafka and “Hotel world” by Ali Smith.

Last song you listened to: my gf ( @agent-astronaut ) put me “Watermelon man” yesterday night and I haven’t listened to music since then, I don’t even know who plays it but, that’s my last one!

Last movie or show you've watched: My last movie was Corpus Christi (Boże Ciało), actually a rewatch! But the last short film I watched was Thermostat 6 which I liked a lot (btw y’all have my letterboxd and goodreads accounts on the menu of my blog!). I’m blanking on my last show right now, I don’t think I have watched anything since I rewatched Julie and the phantoms haha

Recent reads: Yesterday night I finished “Hurricane season” by Fernanda Melchor (I don’t really recommend it) and I also borrowed “En la cocina con Kafka” from the library and it was a nice time

Inspiration: I feel like I’m mostly inspired by nature, I don’t tend to go out on walks or stuff (which sucks!) but everytime I do I spend all my time writing poems in my head Wirt-style

Story behind URL: My favourite quote from “We have it all” by Pim Stones. It’s not like I feel really represented by the lyrics or nothing, I just think the song slaps and I love that quote, so. I also needed to get rid of the previous one and most of my preferred URLs were taken jkasd

Fun fact about me: I don’t really have a sense of smell (I use it at will except for really strong smells).

Idk who to tag because I always tag the same people and they have been tagged before I think so alkjsdfh if you’re a mutual and haven’t been tagged yet consider urself tagged by me <3

Just found out Grandma has cancer and she's moving in with the hospital bed package I helped put together today at the house.

The lady says she weighs less than 100 pounds and needs an oxygen tank.

This don't even feel real.

I'm helping the lady setup the bed, lifting stuff, and cleaning out the bunch of clothes and junk that nobody uses and it really didn't kick in...

It still hasn't.

My heart Andy hand was shaking as I had to sign the delivery note.

Not even a "Good luck with your Grandma" or "Condolences to you and your family" I told the delivery lady she had cancer and we're talking about it like its a happy topic on the news. She had music to keep her going as she picked up stuff off the truck. I wanted to tell her come back, wait...like are you sure you got the right house?

Like are you sure mom and dad or grandma isn't playing. Cause I haven't seen her in like a month. My clothes and stuff is still at her house in Grand Rapids.

And I don't wanna run into any arms. Like I don't wanna hear nothing but silence for the next 3 or 4hrs.

I'm trembling, shaking, paranoid.

I almost had a panic attack after that lady left. Well let's be real, I did.

But the fact that everybody else in this family is acting like this shit is normal and everybody wants me to behave....I can't say or do shit about it.

Like my room is connected to her room. Imma have to get used to walking past her bed just to use the bathroom. And eat?

I don't even know if I will, cause here's the thing....mom and dad are most likely gonna put me on duty. And last time when I spent a week with her, taking care of her...I was so stressed out, that I didn't even eat.

And cancer did pop in my head as a worst case scenario, because we had no clue what she had and she seemed ok when I got kicked out in March.

She avoided doctors and the hospital for years after her surgeries. I just....

I don't even know if I wanna know what stage she is at. Cause last time I stayed, when we had that argument, she wasn't eating too good, cheeks sunken in, I knew something was wrong. Even her house, her dishes were all piled up with black mould on em from being in the sink of dirty water too long. It felt like we stepped into a resident evil house from that one in the country. Even momma said that's not like her, because old ocd Clara, does not play about cleaning dishes. Soups did her no good and she was only getting down like 2-4 pieces of watermelon that daddy had brought. And her house in the summer is hot as heck, so I'm glad daddy had bought her that air purifying fan. She just did not go to the hospital. She said no for the longest when we offered to take her.

I'm glad she finally said yes.

But I don't know how far along she is. Everything has changed so much in less than a year.

I don't even know if I'll be the same after this. And I got a giant ear and toothache that keeps creeping in when I get too stressed like this.

I pray I stay away from drinking. Cause my hallucinations get worse after drinking...I really need to see a psychiatrist about that.

I just hope mom and dad don't start fussing again at home, it's already tight, mom is still going through alzheimers grief with our other grandma. Like she forgot her name already once. And these two strong black women that I grew up on are near 70. Clara, with cancer 67.

I don't even know what my father feels about this and that's what scares me the most. Cause he's mostly been the type to say he's okay, doing fine or alright if I ask him how he feels, buy he doesn't ever really change unless something super pisses him off...like cars parking too close when there's empty spots, drivers doing wide turns, people walking 8 ppl wide on the sidewalk at an amusement park or public event.

Or if he gets into with momma, but they haven't fought as much since I left in March...

But idk. With those two both on edge, the only time they can talk about emotions in a calm way is when they drink or go out to the bar, eat some wings, and get some drafts going while watching the game.

But that was younger dad, and this is now. Now...I assume he's gonna do a lot more golfing...

Idk how they're gonna manage us helping out.

But I pray I find my own job and apt soon. I wouldn't wanna live in chaos. Nor do I wanna fight about it either with my family, that have been known to push duties on me without really helping or noticing the people pleasing problem I learned from serving them all these years. I've never been allowed to say no to my mother and father. They always get upset with me when I do.

I don't wanna go through this alone, but as God showed me the ppl who really were a bad influence on my life, I don't have many friends to rely on to support me and pour my heart out too. After being hurt even when I dealt with the aftermath of that fight with mom, I found myself alone much more often than I thought. Missing the wrong ppl.

I'm not making that same mistake again. I'm not gonna make that silly mistake and call a guy only for him to take advantage of me sexually. I'm not having sex or making out with anybody unless we're committed to each other and he's already proven he's with me for love and not just sex.

Cause there are nice guys who try to outsmart women who would rather have sex after commitment, only to play them after giving the gf title.

How the fuck did I get to this topic, and I just found out Grandma Clara has cancer and we don't know how long for or what stage she's at?

See how far my mind overthinks in critical situations like this?

Now I'm off to watching Kenny Rogers cause I'm feeling a country craving right after I just cried my tears and helped clean her room, assembled her bed..

Ppl don't usually prepare for having a family member you didn't expect to take care of for cancer, it sorta feels low, because I don't know what to expect when she comes tomorrow...I don't know exactly what's gonna happen, but I pray I get a job close by so I can at least have a place to stay away from my already crazy home, and get moving on goals and dreams.

But I know why I feel so obligated to leave and to stay for grandma in flint...because I don't know what's going to happen to her or to me. And she's been apart of me for such a long time. She used to be the only person who understood me when I would get to sensitive or have depression, separation anxiety, seeing or feeling dead people, reading dreams intuitively together. Me and her was like the grandpa off of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka story. She was the older version of me, and nobody understood me like her. Everybody else in my family would make fun of me for being like her. Whenever mom thought I did something that reminded her of Clara, she'd called me by her first name "Clara." Cause she raised me awhile when dad and sometimes mom went to work. Daddy at football games in college, but I think he had to drop out after me....I kinda thought back and thought I was a burden as the reason why they always seemed to overwork me so young as the oldest. Put a smile on your face and go to your room to cry. Kinda like cinderella. Well grandma Clara said it....she always worried about that when she visited.

Her personality was similar to how Ms. Lisa was on Sister Sister. Ms. Talkative, except her favorite color was purple 💜 and she always had an ego, and intuitive perspective on alot of things. She could see things as if she knew what was gonna happen next, like predicting a chess move. Very determined, independent, she hates being wrong, and she'll bark her mouth off if you tried to debate with her. She liked dressing up and going out. But when she's frugal, she'll cook something at the house. Oh, and she loved sweets. And she loved to talk.

I mean lots. I would say our usual was 2hrs, but that was so long ago. I definitely feel the change settling in. Only time will tell.

Ballet, strawberry and watermelon for the asks? 💘

Ballet: What’s something you’re attracted to? - Physically, I love looking at profiles. An interesting nose, a nice jawline, a distinct brow. Personality-wise I’m definitely attracted to a girl with a strong sense of intellectual curiosity.

Watermelon: Are you happy with your current relationship status? - Nah. Am single and would v much like to have a gf but financially and emotionally I can’t do long distance right now which I feel like really cuts me off from a lot of wlw dating opportunities :/

Your Guide to Good Eats at the 2018 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival

By Tessa Koten

It’s almost here – the 2018 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival starts tomorrow! To help you tackle the festival’s fifteen food booths, I’m going to preview some of the best returning options and a few new items I’m most excited to try at every booth. Be on the lookout for reviews of these new items and a few family-friendly returning favorites after the festival begins!

Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market – Germany Pavilion

Potato Pancakes with House-made Apple Sauce (V)

Potato Pancake with Caramelized Ham, Onions, and Herb Sour Cream

Toasted Pretzel Bread topped with Black Forest Ham and Melted Gruyère Cheese

Warm Cheese Strudel with Mixed Berries

New at last year’s festival, the savory potato pancake with caramelized ham, onions, and herb sour cream was a definite winner from this booth, with salty-sweet ham and onions, cool sour cream, and overall, huge portions. On the sweet side, the potato pancake with apple sauce works as a great dish for kids – the applesauce is a bit more complex than they’re likely accustomed to with ginger and cinnamon notes, but it’s still accessible enough that they’ll devour the dish. The booth’s cheese strudel with mixed berries is a simple but successful dessert – one of the best available at the festival. New this year is the toasted pretzel bread, which, on paper, seems like a German version of the popular French savory delight, the croque monsieur. This dish sticks out to me for its potential to be both kid-friendly and satisfying for adults.

Cider House – United Kingdom Pavilion

Pear Cider-brined Shredded Corned Beef with Braised Cabbage and Branston Dressing with Pears

House-made Potato and Cheddar Cheese Biscuit with Smoked Salmon Tartare

Freshly Baked Lemon Scone with Crème Fraîche and Mixed Berries (V) (GF)

The lemon scone and corned beef are always popular traditional fare here, but my longtime festival fave pick for the Cider House booth has been the potato and cheddar cheese biscuit with smoked salmon tartare. It may sound a bit outlandish, but for seafood lovers, this is really a quality pick. The tartare itself is very finely diced, with heavy splashes of lemon and dill to accent the salmon’s natural richness. The sour cream atop the tartare helps add a bit of contrast to the tart tartare, and the dense and cheddar-packed biscuit ties the whole dish together into one tasty bite.

Fleur de Lys – France Pavilion

Tarte à la Tomate Provençale: Provencal Tomato Tart with Sautéed Onions, Fresh Thyme and Rosemary on a Flaky Pastry Crust (V)

Canard Confit Aux Gnocchi à la Parisienne: Braised Duck Confit with Parisian Gnocchi

Macaron au Chocolat en Sucette: Large Chocolate Macaron Lollipop (GF)

La Vie en Rose Frozen Slushy: Grey Goose Orange, St. Germain Liqueur, White and Red Cranberry Juice

Always a popular booth, the Fleur de Lys menu features many new or modified options this year. The duck confit dish makes a triumphant return after an absence last year, served alongside gnocchi now instead of potatoes. La Vie en Rose Frozen Slushy, another longtime favorite, also returns, providing a refreshing alcoholic option as contrast to a few heavier dishes on the menu. The France pavilion always does right by pastry and sweets, so the new Provencal tomato tart with sauteed onions and the chocolate macaron lollipop really seem like they could be winners for those who’ve traditionally enjoyed the tart and macaron options at previous years’ festivals.

Florida Fresh – between the France and Morocco Pavilions

Carne Guisada with Black Bean Cake and Cilantro Lime Sour Cream

Spicy Blackened Shrimp and Stone-ground Cheddar Cheese Grits with Brown Gravy and Local Sweet Corn Relish

Key Lime Tart with Toasted Meringue

Watermelon Cucumber Slushy with Tamiami Florida Gin (Non-alcoholic option available)

Florida Fresh, a strong booth for the last few festival years, returns with similar dishes from last year’s festival. (Great news, since I really loved both savory dishes here!) This year, we see a stew on the black bean cake with creamy-cool cilantro lime sour cream (though I hope the cake is a bit less mushy than last year’s – great flavors, but texture was a little off). Also returning with slight changes is the shrimp and grits dish; I’m expecting similarly spicy, smoky flavors, with hints of sweetness from the corn relish, atop rich and cheesy grits. I can’t wait to try this dish again to see how it compares to last year’s. On the sweet end of the spectrum, we have the return of the key lime tart (which will satisfy your craving for key lime pie, though it’s not the best dessert at the festival) and the incredibly refreshing watermelon cucumber slushy. I recommend the non-alcoholic version, as the subtle sweetness of the watermelon and cucumber shine best without the gin.

Hanami – Japan Pavilion

Frushi: Fresh Pineapple, Strawberry and Melon rolled with Coconut Rice, sprinkled with Toasted Coconut and Whipped Cream with Raspberry Sauce on the side (V)

Ginger Beef Yaki Udon: Thin-sliced Beef, Onions, and Noodles tossed on the grill with Soy and Ginger

Teriyaki Salmon with Furikake Seasoned Brown Rice (GF)

Returning in 2018, Frushi is sure to continue reign as the festival favorite to end all festival favorites. An intriguing mix of sweet sushi rice with fruit filling, served alongside sweet raspberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream, this dish is far from authentic but wildly popular and fun for all ages. Also returning is the ginger beef teriyaki-flavored udon noodles, a filling and accessible dish with simple Japanese flavors. The teriyaki salmon with seasoned brown rice should be a fun new dish to try for seafood lovers, as this booth typically does great justice to fish dishes every year.

Jardin de Fiestas – Mexico Pavilion

Pork Taco: Slow-braised Pork Taco served with Apple Relish, Goat Cheese, and Chile de Árbol Sauce

Chilaquiles: Chilaquiles served with Chorizo, Mexican Cream, and Cotija Cheese

Capirotada: Bread Pudding served with Rompope

An all-new menu at the Jardin de Fiestas booth for 2018! Mexico’s festival booths have previously served chilaquiles (both in breakfast and lunch varieties) that were out of this world, so I’m pretty excited to give these a shot and see how they compare. The pork tacos take on a sweeter, more elevated note this year, it seems, which should make for an interesting and fresh dish that I’ll be sure to check out first thing. Rounding out the menu, a sweet bread pudding and egg nog drink (I believe) is reminiscent of the Festival of the Arts offering here, a fun duo that proved to be interesting and tasty.

La Isla Fresca

Jamaican-braised Beef with Pigeon Pea Rice and Micro Cilantro

Sugar Cane Shrimp Skewer with Steamed Rice and Coconut Lime Sauce

Caribbean Conch Salad with Mango, Papaya, and Pickled Red Onions

Tropical Mousse Cake: Layers of Passion Fruit Cake, Coconut Mousse and a Tropical Fruit Glaze with Fresh Pineapple

Though I was not a fan of last year’s conch salad effort, I’m hopeful this year’s dish has resolved a few of the texture and flavor issues to become successful. The Jamaican braised beef tends towards the spicier side, while the shrimp skewer with coconut lime sauce is a successful sweet/sour seafood option for those looking for something on the lighter side. New this year, the tropical mousse cake sounds like it will be a real home run, mixing fresh flavors with decadent preparations.

Lotus House – China Pavilion

Spicy Meatballs with Crispy Tofu

Fried Chicken Dumplings with Peanut Sauce

Vegetable Spring Rolls (V)

Oolong Peach Bubble Tea (Non-alcoholic)

Kung Fu Punch: Vodka, Triple Sec, Mango, and Orange Juice

BaiJoe Punch: Chinese Bai Jiu Spirit, Lychee, Coconut, and Pineapple Juice

China’s Lotus House booth is really taking on a new challenge this year, presenting several new food dishes to accompany their long-time favorite drinks. Spicy Meatballs with crispy tofu definitely sounds the most interesting to me, though you can’t go wrong with a few crispy dumplings with peanut sauce (sure to be a kid-friendly favorite). My personal pick here for drinks is always the oolong peach bubble tea – not too sweet, fun to drink, and very refreshing for a stroll around World Showcase on a hot day.

Northern Bloom – Canada Pavilion

Seared Scallops with French Green Beans, Butter Potatoes, Brown Butter Vinaigrette, and Apple-wood Smoked Bacon (GF)

Beef Tenderloin Tips, Mushroom Bordelaise Sauce, Whipped Potatoes, with Garden Vegetables

Griddled Maple Pound Cake with Warm Peach Compote and Sweet Corn Gelato

Maple Popcorn Shake with Crown Royal Maple Whisky (Non-alcoholic option available)

Northern Bloom has struggled with consistency in the last few years, particularly with the hit-or-miss seared scallops dish that featured great flavors but not well-cooked vegetables in last year’s sample. I’m hopeful this year’s entry is a bit more consistent, matching the strong flavors and presentation of the beef tenderloin tips with mushroom sauce. Similar to pot roast in texture and flavor, this beef dish really nails it with delivering a solid dish that many will try – who doesn’t love a simple meat and potatoes dish? The creamy and buttery maple popcorn shake was a star from last year’s drink options (with or without alcohol), and I’m excited to see how it pairs with the booth’s new dessert option this year, as they sound like a match made in dessert heaven.

Pineapple Promenade – World Showcase Promenade

Spicy Hot Dog with Pineapple Chutney and Plantain Chips

Pineapple Soft-Serve (V)

Pineapple Soft-serve with Parrot Bay Coconut Rum (Non-alcoholic option available)

Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade (Non-alcoholic)

Everyone really stops here for one reason and one reason only (Dole whip topped with rum!), but the real hidden gem here is the frozen desert violet lemonade. A shocking fuschia color, this sweet-sour treat is a real hit with kids and kids-at-heart.

Primavera Kitchen – Italy Pavilion

Frittata di Asparagi: Asparagus Frittata, Mixed Greens, and Citrus Dressing (GF) (V)

Fritto Misto: Crispy Shrimps, Zucchini, and Spicy Sauces

Ravioli: Maine Lobster Ravioli with Vodka Sauce

Panna Cotta al Melone: Cantaloupe Panna Cotta (GF) (V)

Another all-new menu for this festival season, Primavera Kitchen hopefully capitalizes on the success of the Italy booths from Food and Wine 2017 and Festival of the Arts 2018 to bring us some awesome dishes this year. I’m happy to see a salad option added to the mix here, and two seafood options should help bring a little lighter fare to the festival’s otherwise heavy menus. The cantaloupe panna cotta is most intriguing to me, though I fear it may be a divisive flavor and texture if not pulled off well – the ultimate test to see just how far this booth has come in a few short years.

The Berry Basket

Lamb chop with Quinoa Salad and Blackberry Gastrique

Field Greens with Fresh Strawberries, Crisp Quinoa, Strawberry Vinaigrette and Spiced Pecans (V)

Warm Wild Berry Buckle with Pepper Berry Gelato (V)

Twinings Green Tea Berry Mint Julep (Non-alcoholic option available)

Last year’s festival brought all of these dishes to us, with some more successful than others at being berry delicious (couldn’t help myself). I was not a fan of how the lamb chop was cooked, a bit tough and overdone, though the gastrique was bitey and sweet, with a fresh and filling quinoa salad. The field greens salad was not mind-blowing in originality or execution, and I found it overpriced last year – I fear without a bit of an upgrade, it will be even less of a value this festival season. The true winner from this booth is the berry buckle: a rich and decadent cobbler topped with ice cream is hard to beat, especially when it doesn’t knock you out from sweetness (as the syrupy-sweet julep does).

Taste of Marrakesh – Morocco Pavilion

Harissa Chicken Kebab with Dried Fruit Couscous Salad

Fried Cauliflower with Capers, Garlic Parsley and Chili Ranch Sauce

Walnut Honey Baklava

Desert Rose: Sparkling Wine topped with Pomegranate Liqueur

Two completely new dishes from Taste of Marrakesh this year pop out at me: the sure-to-be-spicy harissa chicken kebab with sweet couscous is a fun, fresh take on fare served elsewhere in the pavilion, while the fried cauliflower with chili ranch sauce could be a great new way to try an oft-maligned veggie. Morocco always shines with the baklava dessert, and the desert rose is popular for those looking towards the sweet and bubbly end of the cocktail selections available at the festival.

The Smokehouse: Barbecue and Brews – American Adventure Pavilion

Pulled Pig Slider with Coleslaw

Beef Brisket Burnt Ends and Smoked Pork Belly Slider with Garlic Sausage, Chorizo, Cheddar Fondue, and House-made Pickle

Beef Brisket Burnt Ends Hash with White Cheddar Fondue and Pickled Jalapeños

Warm Chocolate Cake with Bourbon-Salted Caramel Sauce and Spiced Pecans (V)

Frozen Lemonade with Firefly Blackberry Moonshine (Non-alcoholic option available)

Last year’s pulled pig slider didn’t wow me, and with so many new barbeque options around Walt Disney World, I’m hoping chefs pull out all the stops to step this dish up a bit this year. Sadly, the burnt ends hash was poorly executed and lacking flavor compared to the first year this dish debuted, when I found it to be one of the best dishes at the festival. I’m hoping both dishes are back to good form this year, especially with the new slider option in play, as well. My best pick for this booth will always be the warm chocolate cake – the salty-sweet bourbon caramel and crunchy spiced pecans offset a perfectly moist and decadent chocolate cake that’s too good to pass up.

NEW! The Honey Bee-stro Hosted by National Honey Board

Roasted Cauliflower with Buckwheat Honey Carrot Puree, Wild Rice Pilaf, Asparagus, Honey Blistered Grapes and Sunflower Brittle (GF) (V)

Honey Tandoori Chicken Flatbread with White Cheddar Cheese, charred vegetables, Clover Honey Sour Cream and Micro Watercress

Local Wildflower Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake with Orange Blossom Honey Ice Cream garnished with Fennel Pollen Meringue Kisses

Honey-Peach Cobbler Freeze with Blueberry Vodka (Non-alcoholic option available)

This year’s new booth offering, the Honey Bee-stro (get it? Ha!) menu is packed with interesting items I can’t wait to try. Another cauliflower dish (riding the wave on a big trend in food recently) will satisfy those in search of a warm and savory vegetarian dish, while the chicken flatbread should be a kid-friendly delivery vehicle for new and interesting flavors. I’m always in for cheesecake, and this version, with marscarpone honey base and honey ice cream, sounds absolute divine, while the honey-peach cobbler freeze sounds like it could be a sweet treat of its own.
