Folklore Legacy Challenge

Hey Ya'll! I've been working on this one for a little while and I can't wait to share it with you! It's a 16 + 1 generation legacy challenge for the Sims 4 based off of Taylor Swifts album Folklore! There aren't many solid rules for this one, I mostly just want ya'll to have fun and play it in a way that makes sense to you. That being said: - Mods and cheats are ok to use (I even encourage it). - Each Gen must have at least one child to play as the next heir. - I have used lots of packs in making this, you will need: City Living, Cats and Dogs, High School Years, Get Together, Crystal Creations, For Rent, Outdoor Retreat, Island Living, Dream Home Decorator, Parenthood, Discover University, Dine Out, Stranger Ville, Get Famous, Spa Day, Growing Together + more that I've probably forgotten. - If you do not have the required packs, feel free to change what you need to as long as it is somewhat similar to the original.

Yet, it's in solitude that your greatest works are born, a testament to your dedication to the craft.

Two newly discovered photographs of Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana in 1913

Photo 1: Tatiana standing on the left, Olga on the right taking a mirror selfie in their mirrored wardrobe (a new photo to add to the collection of Romanov selfies!)

Photo 2: Tatiana sitting by the balcony window, Alexander Palace.

These photos were taken the same day as these already known photographs, completing the scene. Spring, 1913.

As always, these new findings are from Ilya, @ LastRomanovs on flickr. These discoveries are thanks to his amazing and tireless effort to digitise all of the Romanov's albums in high quality for viewers to view online.

Alice Coltrane & Santana - Previously Unissued 1974 Recordings

Further Illuminations! The Heat Warps and Mr. Completely delivered the goods last week with a sizable selection of heretofore uncirculated Alice + Carlos (and John McLaughlin) recordings. Truly great stuff — some very interesting outtakes, improvs and alternates from the Illuminations sessions and a fairly astounding live tape from 1974. Lots of celestial harp and burnt Wurlitzer, along with Santana and McLaughlin's fusion-y flights of fancy. Let us go into the house of the Lord!!!

The details: A pair of documents has recently emerged to expand our understanding of this collaboration. The first, a 3-hour + 45-minute collection of newly discovered audio from the Illuminations sessions, including previously unknown compositions, stripped back tracking sessions, overdub reels, working tapes and a cache of alternate takes and mixes. It offers a wide-screen vision of the avenues this album could have taken: a more earth-bound collection rooted in free jazz and heavy fusion, or a pared-down, reflective journey aimed to guide listeners on an inner search. All that could have been is laid out here. The second document, equally illuminating, is a previously un-circulated soundboard recording of a March 14, 1974 concert from the Kabuki Theater in San Francisco. The tape features spare devotional sets from John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana, sets from Alice Coltrane in both solo and trio settings, as well as ensemble performances of Illuminations material and more.

[T]he modern environmental history of sandalwood (a widely-accepted 16 species of fragrant trees within the genus Santalum including the species Santalum album [...]) [...] [is] a history defined by anthropogenic impact endangering the genus across its range. [...] Selling at about $147,000 per metric ton, the aromatic heartwood of Indian sandalwood (S. album) is [among] [...] the most expensive wood in the world. Globally, 90 per cent of the world’s S. album comes from India [...]. [T]he species came to the brink of extinction [...]. [I]t is not until 1974 that supply of the most valuable species of sandalwood was depleted in the major sandal-bearing region of India. [...] Part of the difference, then, lies in each region’s history of governance and relationship to the market.

Islands [in the Pacific] abruptly brought into the modern world system were quickly overexploited, whereas areas such as southern India [...], which had [...] been centres of world sandalwood trade since at least the eleventh century, managed to negotiate the pressures of the European trading companies and forest bureaucracies in the nineteenth century. [...] In contrast [...], much of the Pacific was introduced to the international market by sandalwood traders who moved from one island to the next harvesting the tree until there was no more left to harvest. India and Timor had been the sole suppliers of sandalwood to the world market until the late eighteenth century.

While there had long been a world market for S. album, at the end of the eighteenth century European, American and Australian merchants tried to take control of the sandalwood trade by selling newly discovered Pacific species of sandalwood to China. By the mid-nineteenth century these sandalwood traders had systematically stripped most of the Pacific islands of this precious tree. Time and again sandalwood species were exploited until they went locally extinct, or nearly so, often with massive ecological damage, not to mention the political and cultural toll on the islands.

In Hawaii, also known as Tahn Heung Sahn or ‘the Sandalwood Mountains’ to [some of] the Chinese, the sandalwood trade collapsed by 1828, only decades after it began.

The first shipwrecked Europeans to land on Fiji’s second largest island, Vanua Levu, also called it Sandalwood Island. The sandalwood trade collapsed there within 20 years of its discovery and inauguration.

In the Marquesas, the British and Americans decimated sandalwood in just three years, between 1814 and 1816.

A similar story can be told in the case of S. austrocaledonicum of Vanuatu.

Amphibia Band AU Playlists

remember that poll i posted five million years ago about my amphibia playlists? no? well i finally remembered i did that, so here are the playlists, as well as some details about the band AU!

this is the entire 'discography' of the band, from all the albums they made.

this is the first album the girls made - Heartstomper! in the AU, Sasha, Anne and Marcy created a garage band called Sasha and The Sharps and played together often. eventually they were discovered and offered a record label, with Andrias Leviathan as their manager. Heartstomper was a rousing success, but unfortunately at this point the girls' relationship is pretty toxic. Sasha is very controlling, and writes most the songs herself, not letting Anne and Marcy have much input. this leads to the girls deciding to split after the end of the Heartstomper tour.

Sasha decided to go solo, splitting off from Andrias's management and writing her own album all by herself. this album is by far the longest, as Sasha became a little obsessed with the breakdown of her relationship with her friends, and spent a lot of time writing about it. at first many of the songs are very angry, but eventually she begins to realize she was also at fault for the breakup, and the later songs reflect this new understanding. the end of the album is almost an olive branch extended out to Anne and Marcy, asking for their forgiveness.

Anne and Marcy stayed signed with Andrias, becoming just The Sharps (as there was no longer a Sasha involved). with more creative freedom than Sasha used to allow them, they had a lot of fun writing the first half of this album. it has a very different sound to their previous album, with more folk music vibes. however, halfway through writing, Sasha dropped her solo album. the girls picked up on what Sasha was trying to say, but Anne was having none of it. the final half of the album is almost entirely written by Anne, and they are a lot more angry sounding. although Sasha was ready to try and repair things, Anne certainly was not. it ended up being Marcy who got them talking to one another again, after the end of the Curses tour.

after the girls joined together again, they decided to rebrand as The Calamity Trio. they also broke off from Andrias, realizing he was a terrible manager who was only in it for the money. the girls all had equal parts in writing this album, though Marcy's songs are especially prominent. with their rejoining, there are also some feelings being kindled between the three of them. however, all three are too nervous to say anything, worried about the tentative peace of their relationship. this album is an amazing success, and the newly reformed Calamity Trio is more popular than ever.

as they begin to write their fourth album, the girls finally admit their feelings to each other! (this one is my personal favorite). the songs are all about their feelings for each other, and how each of them is navigating this new relationship. at this point they are not publicly dating, but the sheer amount of pining in these songs makes a lot of fans speculate.

this album has a pretty specific theme; it's advertised as a 'blast from the past', with lots of songs in that more rock style than their past album. they also sing a lot about their pasts and their struggles, helping each girl personally make peace with themselves. now that they're older, they're able to look back on their past experiences more objectively, which makes for an incredible album. after this release, the Calamity Trio publicly come out as being in a relationship together!

i am super proud of these albums, and i've put a whole lot of effort into putting them together. i'd love if y'all would give some of them a listen! as well, i have extra details about almost all the songs, like which girl 'wrote' it, how the lyrics relate, etc. please feel free to send me some asks about the albums and songs, or just the AU as a whole! there's tons more i have to say, but i'm trying to keep this post relatively short.

but there you have it; the Amphibia Band AU! six albums altogether, as well as a massive playlist containing all of the songs for a very fun listening experience. seriously, this is my go-to roadtrip playlist; there's so many awesome songs to scream in the car! i'm also in the very very very beginning stages of yet another album, and if/when i finish that, i will post it here.

reblogs appreciated!

I have never been capable of coming up with my own lyrics but there will be a few songs that are completely written by me (they'll make an appearance later). If you'd like to be tagged in this series let me know.

WORD COUNT: 4.4K Words

RUIN MY LIFE SERIES MASTERLIST

It was the night of the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. You were backstage getting ready to go on stage to perform a few songs with 5 Seconds Of Summer. The main song would be a newly released song of "Ghost Of You", it hit home with you and when you were contacted about the song you couldn't turn down the offer to perform the song. Your fiancé would've been so proud of where you had gotten.

You had your microphone ready to go in your hand, it was mixed with blue, red, and some pink. The blue and pink were your mother and father's favorite colors. And the red was in honor of your fiancé, it was his favorite color. Before you were set to go on and perform you had won a MTV award for Best New Artist. And you were honestly still shocked.

If it hadn't been for your parents and your fiancé, you wouldn't be here right now. The three of them had always supported your dreams to be a singer, to tour the world and just have fun while doing it. Unfortunately your fiancé couldn't be here, he passed away 9 years ago today as it turned out. And what was once a sad day each year you now had something that made the pain just a little better.

You started to make it big shortly after you had turned 30 and now you were here about to sing in front of a large crowd. Then you'd be leaving in a few weeks to start your World Tour for your new album that was as personal as it would ever be. A lot of the songs had to do with a lot of recent events whereas a few of them were about your parents and growing up.

The songs that remained were about your fiancé. While everyone speculated who those songs were about you hadn't really stated who they were about. You still weren't open to the idea of talking about your dead fiancé. Though one of the songs about him you would be singing tonight after you sang Ghost Of You. Then it would switch back to another song you had recorded with 5SOS.

Afterwards it would switch over to a few verses from one of your most popular songs from your album. It was written about the support you had received from your parents and fiancé. That song had been the one to get you discovered in the first place so it had to be on the album. It was titled Thank you, the title alone basically spoke for itself.

When doing the album you re-recorded the song and now here you were, all because of that song. Then you'd switch into a few verses and you would end off with a song that had been written about your fiancé. It was going to be a bittersweet moment for sure, being able to perform it on the day of the anniversary.

You were somewhat happy to be at an award show rather than moping around like you did over the previous 8 years since his death. You shook your hands in the air to get the jitters out of your body. You had done only a few small shows that had been leading up to this moment. But this award show would be your first time on a stage like this in front of a lot of people. So the jitters were expected of course.

"Someone's nervous." The voice of an older man ran through your ears. You looked over your shoulder to see the infamous rockstar, the lead singer and guitarist of Corroded Coffin, Eddie Munson walking up to you.

A soft but nervous smile graced your lips. "First time singing on a stage this big in front of a lot of people." You clarified even though you knew he didn't need the clarification.

Eddie had been in your shoes a long time ago, so he was familiar with the nerves. It also helped that you knew exactly who Eddie Munson was, he was a certified bad boy through the 90s and 00s. He was all over the place and a certain mess. He seemed to get a little better after the birth of his kids in 2004.

They were twins, he had a boy named Beau Munson and a daughter named Blair Munson. He had his twins with his wife whom he's been separated from for well over a year and is currently in the process of a nasty divorce brought forth by his ex-wife Heather (you assumed that she was trying to go after some of the money he had).

But you hoped that Eddie had been smart and made the woman sign a prenup before they had gotten married. You also knew that his son and daughter opted not to follow in his footsteps, they were both going to college. They had publicly stated what paths they had chosen for themselves.

Beau was studying to be a doctor, hopefully a Neurosurgeon. Meanwhile Blair was studying to be a Cosmetologist, she loved styling hair and coloring it. Eddie’s kids were nothing like him and it made you wonder how a certified bad boy who had two kids could be so different from their father. But then again your parents had expected you to follow in their footsteps before they saw your love for writing music and performing. So you really couldn’t judge the Munson siblings.

Eddie walked closer to you, the space between the two of you was closed off. “How about after you perform and I perform we get out of here and head back to my place?” Eddie had a smirk on his face as he asked the question and his warm brown eyes stared down at you.

You were new to the industry but you still knew enough to know what happens around here. “If you’re trying to get your dick wet you’re gonna have to try a little harder than that, maybe please me a little. A girl has needs you know.”

“Oh, sweetheart, I know what needs you got and I can show you exactly how I can take care of those needs.”

Your thighs clenched together after his words slammed into your ears. The smirk he had on his face only grew as he watched your reaction. He was getting you right where he wanted you. Before anything more could be said between you and Eddie, Luke came running up behind you, picking you up and spinning you around. You released a fit of giggles.

“You ready, pop star?” Like questions, a smile on his lips. You glanced over at Eddie for a brief moment, watching the smirk turn to a glare as he stared at you and Luke.

“Yes, I’m ready.” You breathed out, he set you down and you adjusted the strap on your left shoulder that connected to your outfit.

“Remember, just like we practiced. You’ll do great.”

You gave him a nod as he walked onto the stage. You gripped your microphone just a smidge tighter then looked over at Eddie. “Break a leg out there, sweetheart.”

“Thank you, Eddie. I’ll be around afterwards if you can find me.” A smirk graced your lips.

“Challenge accepted.” Eddie whispered as you walked out onto the stage following behind Luke. You wanted to say something else to him but instead you internally thanked your fiancé for sending Eddie your way.

───── ❝ ◂ ❚ ⊱ꕥ⊰ ❚ ▸ ❞ ─────

After you had gone on to perform you waited backstage, staying hidden but still in eye sight of the stage so you could get the full experience of watching Eddie Munson perform on the stage live in person. Sometimes you noticed that he would turn slightly off stage to look for you but you would move out of sight so he couldn’t see you. Overall you were having a blast playing this game with him.

As the award show came to a close you walked out of the building. The air felt nice and cooled you off a lot more than the fans were at a high enough setting and weren’t keeping you cool. You still felt hot, though maybe it was because you had been dreaming about what a night with Eddie Munson would look like. You heard that he was good in bed but you honestly just wanted to know for yourself.

“Whatcha lookin’ at sweetheart?” Eddie whispered in your ear when he came up behind you. You felt the heat rising to your cheeks.

“Just the stars, though you can’t see much.” You answered, turning slightly to look back at the older man. He had a soft smile on his face as he stared down at you.

“I can show you the stars.” There was a devious smirk that fell into his plump lips, you couldn’t help but smile at the comment.

“So we’d be skipping the after party?” In truth you didn’t want to go to it, you were never one to party and that wasn’t suddenly going to change because you were popular.

“Unless you want to go of course.”

“No, I think I’m good.” Eddie held his hand out to you and you took it in yours. Once he had a hold he took you to his car where the driver was waiting. The two of you climbed into the car and were heading to his place. “Can I ask you a question?”

“As long as it’s not about my kids, or the ex.” There was a coldness in his voice when he mentioned his ex. You shook your head.

“No, it’s not. I don’t like to pry too much into people. Why are you interested in me? I mean no offense but you’re for sure a fuck boy so are you lookin’ to add me to your list or whatever?” Before Eddie had met his wife and had kids he was a notorious fuck boy, having sex with anyone that wanted him. But after his wife he had mellowed out and even though he hadn’t been with her for a year he hadn’t gone to sleep with someone until he saw you.

“No list, I’m not like that anymore. I heard that version of Ghost of You on the radio, my daughter was listenin’ to it. Honestly your voice was just really appealing and I wanted to know what it sounded like in the bedroom. I want to know what your moans sound like, I want to know everything that your body does.” He leaned closer to you, his nose gently brushing your ear. He smiled triumphantly when you clenched your thighs together just because of his words. He really had an effect on you. Eddie placed his hand down on your thigh and slowly moved it towards your center. “We still have a bit of a drive.”

“What do you want to do then?” You asked, eyes on him.

“What do you want me to do?”

He watched as your small hand wrapped around his wrist and pulled it closer to the place where you desired him to touch. The smirk that he had on his face never left his face as he gently placed his fingers over your clothed core. You cursed yourself for deciding to wear pants for the after show that you knew you’d never go to. But that didn’t seem to stop the rockstar’s mission. He eyed you as he moved his hand up to your button and unbuttoned them.

His hand slipped into your pants and panties, his calloused fingers came in contact with your clit. Slowly he starts to rub your clit in circular motions. A soft whimper leaves your mouth as you throw your head back towards the headrest. The first five years after your fiancé passed you hadn’t been with anyone sexually. But afterwards you were with plenty, but no one had compared to your fiancé, at least until Eddie. He replaced his fingers with his thumb and continued to circle your clit, while his fingers moved down towards your center.

You moaned when Eddie inserted two of his fingers. Once again he started soft, but the more you moaned and called out his name his pace quickened. A third finger was added and you were in Heaven at the feeling of his large fingers inside you.

“Fuck.” You moaned your heading moving towards his shoulder to lean on it.

“You like that, sweetheart? You like my fingers inside you?” You could only nod, you felt your orgasm quickly approaching from just the pace his fingers were going. Eddie could feel how close you were to cumming on his fingers. “I can’t wait to have you on my cock, you’re gonna be so fuckin’ tight.” He felt you clench around his fingers at the mention. “Gonna make you cum so hard, but first I gotta get this first orgasm from you baby.”

Those words did it, seconds after he had spoken you were a moaning mess as you came on his fingers. You close your eyes trying to come back from a mind blowing orgasm on just his fingers. When you finally did open your eyes again, you looked up at Eddie who was licking your release from his fingers.

“Mm, you taste good.” He said after removing his fingers from his mouth. Eddie closed whatever space was left between you two and placed his lips on yours. You could taste yourself on his lips but you weren’t complaining. The two of you broke apart when the car finally came to a stop. “Time to take it inside, sweetheart.”

“Good.” You replied. A smile graced your lips as you followed behind the rockstar not bothering to button your pants back up given that they’d be coming off shortly. You followed after Eddie quickly, when he made it to the front door he unlocked it quickly and pulled you inside with him. Once inside Eddie pushed you back up against the front door and smashed his lips to yours kissing you roughly.

Eddie pushed his tongue out past his lips and towards yours, when he met your lips you opened them but you weren’t going down easy. Both of you were fighting for dominance in the kiss. But Eddie eventually overpowered you, he moved his hands down your body, his hand slipping underneath your shirt. Then he pinched your skin causing you to gasp and allowing him to win the battle.

The rockstar moved his hand from your shirt and moved it down to your thighs giving them a tap. You understood what he was doing and jumped up. Eddie caught you and turned around once your legs were wrapped around his waist. He moved quickly across the floor and up the steps heading to his bedroom. When you two made it to his bedroom he pushed through the door and kicked it closed.

Then he moved to his bed and threw you onto it, his touch leaving your body. A whimper left your mouth at the loss of his touch.

“Aw my poor baby, missin’ me already cupcake?” A new pet name but still having the same affect on you as the other ones did. Eddie smirks when he sees it pull a reaction from you. Before you could reply to the older man he was on his bed and hovering over you. He placed his lips back on you, pulling you into another searing kiss. Then he pulled away from your swollen lips and placed them on your neck.

Eddie sucked some of your skin into his mouth, then he released your skin with a pop. Eddie moved further down your chest kissing between your breast, the only skin really showing from your shirt other than your neck. He wrapped his tattooed fingers around the waistband of your pants and underwear and pulled them down your legs as quickly as he could. You watched through hooded eyes as he threw them to the floor and moved towards your center. The metalhead let his tongue out, he started from the bottom licking a long strip to the top to meet your clit. A moan left your mouth.

He pulled back, a smirk on his face as he looked up at you. “I can’t get enough of you, sweetheart. I think I could stay down here forever.” He said, brown eyes still on you. Seconds later you watched him lower his head down between your legs. His lips found home on your clit, he started sucking on it while two of his fingers played with your hole. You moaned again when he slipped in one of his fingers, then added another one.

“Fuck.” You breathed out, throwing your head back into Eddie’s pillow. He smiled and continued to suck your clit. Eddie pulled back, pushing his tongue out and flicking your clit. You felt his fingers curl inside you as he moved them at a faster pace. You could hear the squelching sound as his fingers pushed in and out of you. Eventually he added a third finger inside you, a whimper escaped your lips as he stretched it but felt amazing.

You were close to your second orgasm of the night and Eddie hadn’t even gotten his cock inside you yet. “That’s it, cum on my fingers.” You moaned again, feeling your orgasm hit you again. Eddie pulled back from your clit and slowly removed his fingers from your cunt. Eddie leaned up on his knees, while you watched him lick your slick off them. When you finally managed to come back down from your high you smirked at the man who kneeled in front of you.

“My turn.” You whispered. He watched as you crawled towards him, gripped his shoulders and pushed him back onto his bed. Your hands found their way to his pants and he unbuckled the buckle and button. Your fingers wrapped onto his pants and boxers and you quickly pulled them off throwing them somewhere in the room. You looked back at Eddie’s cock, your mouth falling open. You moved your hand forward wrapping it around his length. He gasped at your soft touch. You placed your fingers at the top of his head and smeared the beads of precum around his cock. Slowly you moved your hand up and down his length, leaning forward you pushed your tongue out and licked a long strip from the base of his cock to the top of his head.

Eddie moaned, staring at you with hooded eyes. “Jesus Christ, baby.” You smiled at the older man, you placed your lips around the head of his cock and lowered down onto him. Eddie’s hands moved to your hair grabbing onto it and moving it out of the way so he could watch you stuff your mouth full of his cock. Your nose touched the hair on his pelvis when you reached it. Eddie watched in amazement as you bobbed your head up and down his length. He was getting close but he didn’t want to cum down your throat not at first anyway. “Wait, wait.” Eddie called out.

“What?” You asked, when you pulled off his cock.

“I would love nothin’ more than to cum down your throat but I need to be inside you right now.” Eddie picked himself up from his bed and removed his shirt. You followed behind him pulling off your shirt and then unclipping your bra to discard them. Eddie flipped you around, a giggle leaving your mouth and something Eddie instantly knew he wanted to hear every day. He hovered over you.

His mouth moved down and took a nipple into your mouth he sucked on it, another moan escaping your mouth, this one different then the last one. Eddie grabbed a hold of his cock as he pulled back from your nipple. He spread the tip of his head through your folds, getting your slick on the tip of his head. Eddie lowered his cock down to your hole and looked up at you. You saw the look on his face and even though he had once been a fuck boy he seemed to had turned into a gentle man.

“Are you?” Eddie went to ask but you were quick to cut him off.

“I'm on birth control and I promise I’m clean.” You answered. He gave a nod of his head.

“I am too, in case you wanted to know. I just want to make sure you feel safe.”

“Eddie.” You breathed out, cupping his face with your hands. He stared into your eyes, it was clear to you that you might have been the first person he’s been with since his wife. “I feel so safe with you. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t want any of that.” Before Eddie had a chance to reply to you, you lifted your head up from the pillow and kissed him. He kissed you back of course, his lips soft on yours. When you pulled back you stared into his brown eyes. “Now, fuck me, please. I need to feel you inside me.”

“Beg me again, princess.” You could tell this was turning him on.

“Fuck. Me. Please.” The words came out quickly but sharp.

The two of you moaned when you felt Eddie slip his length inside you. “You feel so good, sweetheart.” Eddie lowered his head down in between your neck as you wrapped your legs around his waist. Eddie gives you a few seconds to adjust to the size of his cock. Your walls are warm and wet and continue to suck him in. When you finally send a nod to Eddie he pulls his body back and slams back into you. Eddie stretches you out, as he continues to pull out and slam back into you. “Your pussy was made for me.”

You moaned loudly, “fuck, Eddie.” He smiles at you as he picks up his pace slamming his hips into yours. The sound of moans and skin slapping on skin is the only thing that can be heard in the room. “Feels so good.” You babbled, getting lost in feeling him inside you. Eddie looked down where the two of you were connected and watched as your pussy sucked him back in again and again every time he pulled back.

“Gettin’ close, sweets?” Eddie asked eyes back on you. You nodded your head, too blissed out to use words. “Aw, look at that, got you all cockdrunk don’t I?” You gave Eddie another nod, just as another moan escaped your lips. He smirked and placed his lips on yours, kissing you passionately. You kissed Eddie back, the metalhead could feel you gripping his cock. “That’s it baby, cum on my cock.”

“Fuck.” You breathed out. Eddie moved his thumb down in between the two of you. It fell on your clit and started rubbing it at a fast pace. “M’ gonna cum.” You cried out.

You released a high pitched moan as you came on Eddie’s cock. You gripped him tightly, Eddie gripped his hand on your hip as his thrusts became sloppy. You were seeing stars like he had promised, and with you having hit your release he fell right behind you. His cum squirted inside you, filling you up. Eddie collapsed on top of you. Gently he removed his cock from inside you, you whimpered when he pulled out leaving you empty.

Eddie watched as his cum fell down onto his bed. He stood up and walked into the bathroom grabbing a cloth and a glass of water. He walked back into the room and set the glass down on the table. You watched with hooded eyes as he cleaned in between you. He threw the cloth near the closet and grabbed the water, handing it over to you. You thanked him and took a gulp of it. When you were finished you placed it down on the dresser and stood up walking over to the bathroom.

Eddie moved around his room grabbing some clothes for you to wear. He wasn’t about to kick you out, though you were certain he was going to because he had done it with people he slept with in the past so you assumed you were no different. When you came back out you looked around for your clothes.

“I guess I should probably get going.” You looked at Eddie, he was standing over by the window with a cigarette hanging on his lips.

“Why are you trying to leave?” Eddie asked, he put the cigarette out and walked over to you, pulling your naked body into him. This didn’t make sense to you in the least.

“I just thought that you’d, you know, want me to leave.”

“Nonsense, sweetheart. I have some clothes you can wear, you’re gonna stay here tonight in my room. If you wanna leave in the morning then you can.”

“Okay.” You smiled at Eddie, watching him smile back at you, the crickles around his eyes getting bigger. Eddie pulled away from you and grabbed a shirt and a pair of his boxers. You slipped into them and climbed into the bed with Eddie following behind you. Once the two of you were under the covers you found yourself being wrapped up in his arms, something you hadn’t truly experienced since your fiance had passed away. “I had a fiance.” You said, you weren’t sure why you were telling Eddie but you wanted him to know.

“Had?” He questioned. The older man watched you turn in his arms to look up at him.

“He passed away 9 years ago today.” You paused thinking of the next words carefully. You didn’t want to scare him off with the next bit of information but for some reason you felt that Eddie wasn’t going to go anywhere. “Before you walked up to me backstage I had asked him to send someone my way, who he thought would be good for me. I’m not saying this to scare you, I'm saying this to thank you, even if you don’t want anything after this night, thank you for allowing me to have something truly good.”

Eddie didn’t say anything, he just stared down at you. His old self would’ve been terrified for something like this. But now, he could see forever with you and he wasn’t quite ready to let that go. His grip on you tightened and he pulled you into his tattooed chest.

“I don’t want to let this go, whatever it is.” You smiled softly, nuzzling your face further into his chest. Eventually the two of you fell asleep in each other’s arms.

Missing you today~

Notes: Rook Hunt x reader, fluff, a letter to you, gn reader, romantic relationship, reader is a part of the Mountain Lover's club, short letter.

Please Check out my Rook Hunt inspired Chocker as well!

Rook Hunt Chocker: Here

Rook Hunt Chocker (for those of you who live outside of the U.S): Here

My lovely Snuggle Duck,

My memories of you are resting neatly in my photo album of you. Each page is adorned with your gorgeous face. Photos of us together grace the pages as well, but still, it’s not enough to ease my heart. For some reason my heart has been beating loudly in my chest. It’s not from the flutters of butterflies I get each time I think of you, no it's much different this time around.

This feeling in my heart must be from the pain of being without you. I want to see you this very moment and smother you in my love. Alas, I cannot fathom any support to bring me over to where you are at this very moment. For the two of us are miles apart. You must stay strong as you carry out your club trip. Mountain climbing with Monsieur Mastermind is no easy task, I must applaud you for your beautiful efforts to follow Jade’s persistence through the woods.

Why, it’s the adventure of ________ and Monsieur Mastermind! What a marvelous event! I shall cheer you on. In the meantime, I’ll continue to miss you as I follow my day-to-day activities. Despite my heart hurting from the loss of you I must remember to stay strong just as you are. One shouldn’t live life solely for their lover and as much as I do love to admire you, I cannot allow myself to get so lost in one thing.

Suppose during our time apart I’ll gather research for the science club. Our very own member, Trey, has accidentally bred a new strawberry. Perhaps I’ll dissect the beauty in such an unexpected birth. Considering even Chevalier des Roses himself wasn’t aware of this event happening it’s best to investigate. Together with Chevalier des Roses I shall discover the beauty of newly born life!

Soon we’ll have an enormous number of stories to go through together. When that fateful day arrives let us not hold back from any details. I want to know everything there is to know about your adventure. Once we’re finished with exploring each other’s stories, how about we take a day to relax. I imagine you’re going to be tired after hiking such rough terrain. On that very day I’ll massage your body and take care of your hair. Don’t worry _____, I’ll be sure to take care of you well.

What exciting plans I’ve thought of! Do tell me your response to everything in a timely manner _____. How marvelous! I’ve spotted a sight that cannot be dismissed. Why, Roi des Dragons is with Monsieur Dandelion!!!

With that I bid you adieu~

Rook Hunt

The Wickham Family Album: Volume XVIII

I don't think Augustus answers anyone's idea of a nice guy.

Even so, Townie Brittany Parker likes him enough to share a first kiss with him.

And a rather public make-out session in the living room.

Anthony's pal Phineas is not convinced about Brie's newly-discovered musical talents.

But how could anyone resist that face?!

Rebecca on the other hand, has discovered the joy of kittens.

And is much better at walking than using the potty.

Laura has found a playmate in half-brother Anthony.

And surprisingly, she even gets along OK with arch-meanie Augustus. Although I'm not sure about their topic of conversation - don't give him ideas, Laura!

There's a chance now for Anthony to start standing up for himself a bit more against his brother - it's his birthday!

~ Aries 6 / 8 / 4 / 5 / 5

~ Angler / Loves the Outdoors / Eco-friendly / Flirty

~ OTH: Nature

~ Favourite Colour(s): Blue / Yellow

~ Aspiration: Popularity / Knowledge

~ Turn-ons / -offs: +Occult / +Plant Lover / -Brown Hair

Everyone's favourite cool uncle - Miles - has come over, to celebrate with the birthday boy. And there's no hard feelings between him and his ex Catherine, even though she's now with his brother.

Is it just me, or is Anthony rolling his eyes ever so slightly, over Augustus bragging to his uncle?

Anthony shares his birthday with Ricotta - what a sleek and elegant kitty!

It was a friday afternoon and you had just finished your last class of the day, but since you had to study for a test you found your usual spot under a tree and sat down to study before it got dark.

Your studying session was going well until everyone started leaving their classes and talking really loud. So you decided to grab your headphones and put on some music.

You opened spotify and tried to choose a song to listen to but you didn't feel like listening to anything you already knew so you searched for newly released songs to listen to.

You eventually came across an album cover that really caught your attention and discovered that the album you found belonged to a group called xikers.

You decided to give it a go and pressed shuffle, all the songs were great and you found yourself more interested in the songs and how good they sounded rather than your studies.

Then you reached a song that caught your interest more than the others it was called "Tricky house".

By the end of the song you found yourself replaying it over and over again until you knew it word by word.

As you became familiar with the song you were able to continue studying while softly singing the lyrics to yourself.

"Shanty shanty yah yah yah"

And before you knew it it was already getting dark so you headed back home still listening to Tricky house.

On monday you arrived at your college and sat down for your first class which was the one you didn't have in common with any of your friends.

While you waited for class to start you pulled out your headphones and resumed listening to xikers.

You played shuffle and Tricky house started playing which you obviously didn't mind.

You were singing to yourself so you didn't notice someone sitting next to you and then tapping your shoulder.

You paused your music and looked at the person who tapped your shoulder and found a very cute tall and blonde boy staring at you with sparkly eyes.

"Hi uhm sorry to bother but I haven't been able to come to class these past few weeks and I was wondering if I could look at your notes? I'm Seeun by the way"

He was cute and shy? Your heart cannot handle this.

"Hi Seeun! I'm Y/n! And yeah you can see my notes that's fine! And if you don't mind me asking why couldn't you come these past few weeks? You don't have to answer if you don't want to!"

"Oh uhm it's just that I work.. yeah I work so I had to work and couldn't come!" He said sounding kind of nervous.

"Oh okay! So here are my notes, just let me know if you don't understand something!"

"Absolutely! Thank you" He said smiling and you could swear you just felt your heart melt from how adorable this boy was.

You and Seeun really hit it off in class and walked together the rest of the day.

You even showed him the tree where you usually studied under and he also loved the spot.

You both sat down and just admired the campus view while sitting in silence.

"So Seeun what do you do for work if you don't mind me asking"

"Well it's kind of complicated, but I work with a group of people and we you know just do our thing?" He said scratching the back of his neck and you sensed that he didn't really want to talk about it so you chaged the subject.

"Okay then, what do you like to do for fun?"

"Oh, I like to sing and dance"

"You do? Can you sing for me?"

"Sure!" He said as he sang a little bit of the first song the came to his mind.

As he sang you couldn't help but notice that his voice sounded familliar but you just brushed that thought off.

As he finished singing you quickly clapped and you swear you saw his cheeks turn red.

"THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! YOU SOULD TOTALLY BE AN IDOL!"

"Haha yeah I should shouldn't I?"

"Totally!"

"What about you?"

As the conversation progressed you could feel Seeun growing closer to you and were happy that you made a new friend!

Months passed and you could consider Seeun one of your best friends but you still found it weird that he sometimes missed entire weeks of college because of his work, but since the first day you met him you never touched that topic again since he looked unconfortable when you guys talked about it.

It was one of those days when Seeun didn't come to college (or so you thought) because he had to work and honestly the more he was away from you the more you realised how much you missed him and how much brighter your days were with him.

You though all of that was just you appreciating his amazing company as a friend but what you saw before your eyes changed that completely.

You looked and saw a person aproach Seeun and get all giggly and all of a sudden they hugged him and he hugged back.

This made you feel weird, jealous even, so jealous you felt bad and left the tree you usually stood under.

You moved to the library and just put your head in your hands and when you realised you were almost falling asleep, so you just let yourself fall into a deep slumber.

"Hey sleepyhead, the library is about to close, come with me I'll take you home" you lifted your head to look at none other than Seeun your best friend and newly found crush.

You didn't answer him, you just stood up and let him follow you to your house without talking.

You reached you house and you were almost heading inside when he grabbed your arm.

"Skeep well ok? Goodnight" He said as he kissed your forehead and walked away leaving you frozen and confused at his sweet and unusual gesture.

Some more months of crushing on Seeun in secret had passed and now you knew Seeun for exatcly a year.. and you also discovered xikers a year ago.. and you were still addicted to Tricky house.

You were in a bench near your classroom alone waiting for the break to end and you decided to listen to some music and you of course settled for Tricky house.

You were mumbling the lyrics when you felt someone sit next to you and you saw Seeun mouthing something.

When you removed your headphones you realized he was singing Tricky house with you?

You must have looked so confused he started laughing at you.

"You know this song?"

"Yeah.. sort of but I came here because I wanted to tell you something"

"Ok go ahead"

"So you might find this really weird, but I really like your company and I never met someone who matched so well with me before and I love that we both like calm spaces and we both cry a lot specially when we watch sad movies, remember that one time when we both sobbed so hard we almost threw u-"

"Seeun get to your point!" You said laughing

He laughed a little "Right sorry, you know I ramble when I'm nervous.. I really really like you, it's not even funny actually, you mean so much to me it's insane!"

"Aw Seeun I like you too!" You said and hugged him so tight he laughed

"Oh and by the way, what do you mean by you sort of know the song?" You asked Seeun

"Well you see, that information is reserved for people who are my partner!" He said while blushing making you laugh

"Alright i guess I'll never kno-"

"Y/N NO"

"Alright sorry! I want to be your partner!" You said laughing at how shy you got from that last sentence

"That's more like it! Now that we're dating I can tell you a little secret I've been keeping for some time.. so remember when I said I worked in a group? Well I do work in a group, but an idol group called xikers, surprise!"

"So you're telling me that I have been listening to xikers this whole time and you were in the group?? How did I never figure it out?"

"Well I actually don't know how! So you see, when I came to college for the first time and I sat next to you, I only sat next to you because I heard you singing our song to yourself and I thought you looked really cute and that I could meet a fan, but you didn't even know who I was! And I thought that you would have found out, but I guess you never watched our stages and all that!"

"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU SAW ME THAT DAY AND THAT I NEVER FOUND OUT?!?! By the way, since we're telling things I want to ask you who was the person that hugged you on that day when you woke me up in the library?"

"So that day I had practice and I thought I would come here after class to just hang out with you, but that person came up to me and hugged me saying they were a fan and they were hugging so tight I hugged back hoping they would let go when I acknowledged their affection and they did! And then I saw you go into the library and went after you, when I saw you asleep I sat next to you until the library was about to close so I could take you home"

"Seeun! You really are the sweetest I can't believe you!"

"You make me like this"

You both just stood there looking at each other until he started leaning in and you did too until your lips were inches apart.

"Good morning" Your teacher arrived and opened the door making both you and Seeun disappointed he interrupted your moment.

"Well we should go inside" You said as Seeun followed you and sat next to you while holding your hand under the table you were sitting in the back of the classroom.

You were pretty much zoning out because you couldn't believe Seeun was now your boyfriend until he called you name.

You turned to him and he grabbed your cheek and kissed you softly for a few seconds making you melt in your seat ultil you pulled away remembering where you were.

"SEEUN!" You whisper yelled as you blushed and he giggled

"Relax, the teacher is writing on the board, his back is turned to us" He said as he caressed your cheek again and kissed you, but this time you were more relaxed, this kiss lasted a few more seconds than the last one.

"Love is beautiful but I would appreciate it if you could keep that out of the classroom" Your teacher said making you embarrassed.

"Sorry sir" you said while blushing and looking down.

He resumed the class and Seeun grasped your hand tighter.

"Let's go" he said.

"But the class isn't over yet?"

"I know but didn't he say we had to keep this out of the classroom?"

"Seeun I don't think- SEEUN" He was already pulling you out of the classroom and to the tree you always sat under. You guys spent the rest of the day cuddling and just enjoying each others presence.

Carrie & Tony & Jessica & John

The recent media obsession with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce - and the proceeding debate about whether there was too much focus on Taylor attending NFL games - reminded me of the attention, mostly negative, that was given to both Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson 16-17 years ago when they took turns dating another NFL player, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

The timeline of Tony & Carrie and Tony & Jessica was not at all clean and linear, and it led to some interesting interactions and comments in the media as these relationships evolved.

Adding to the drama and making it as messy as possible was John Mayer's insistence on remaining a part of Jessica's love life, before and during her relationship with Tony.

I wanted to delve into this classic mid-aughts love quadrangle and figure out the timeline of how it all went down.

August 2006

TMZ reports that Jessica Simpson is dating John Mayer, less than a year after her divorce from Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees.

Jessica Simpson's album "A Public Affair" isn't the only thing coming out today. Us Weekly is reporting that she and Grammy winning singer/songwriter John Mayer are an item, but sources say Simpson wants to "keep it private." Um...sure! If reports are true, this would be her first relationship since breaking up with ex-husband Nick Lachey.

Jessica confirms in her 2020 memoir, "Open Book," that she had begun secretly dating John several months before the news leaked - from someone close to her:

The week of my release someone from my team broke the story to the tabloids. Coming just a week after my album came out, it looked like a full-on, amateur stunt orchestrated to sell both our albums. I fired the person. John was worried he seemed in on it and felt that his artistic integrity was in jeopardy. I was in New York and he exploded on me, breaking up with me over an email. On August 31, he posted the cover of Public Enemy's "Don't Believe the Hype" on his blog as a response to the media. I was humiliated and thought he was out of my life for good. He wasn't.

September 2006

Jessica and John get back together. People Magazine features a cover story about their relationship.

November 2006

Tony Romo is the newly-named starter for the Dallas Cowboys, with no prior celebrity relationships under his belt. His fame is just starting to rise with his new role on the NFL's most high-profile team.

In mid-November, one media outlet called The Sporting News alleges that Tony is now dating Jessica. This is a possible connection because Jessica is a Dallas native who still visits Texas often.

Later in the month this rumor is bolstered when Sports Illustrated reports that Tony was seen having dinner with Jessica and her manager-father Joe Simpson in Los Angeles, and that Tony provided Joe Simpson with tickets to the November 12 Dallas Cowboys game.

The buzz begins being reflected in fan interest at the games with signs like this:

On November 23, Carrie Underwood - who has become a huge country star after winning American Idol in 2005 - performs at the Dallas Cowboys halftime show on Thanksgiving, at the same time that the Tony Romo-Jessica Simpson rumors are in full swing.

On November 29, Tony is asked about the speculation and denies that he is dating Jessica.

"Jessica and I are not dating, so no one has to write about that. Very funny, though. But anyhow, I guess there are worse things." (Source: Fort Worth Star Telegram)

He is apparently telling the truth; Jessica does not mention dating Tony during 2006 at all in her book. She was still fully entangled with John during this time, with him dumping her again by late November 2006:

Honestly he did it so many times I lost track. Always in an email... He'd dump me, then come back saying he had discovered he loved me after all.

December 2006

On December 1, Tony is interviewed by FSN Pro Football Preview and is asked which “tabloid starlet” he would like to date.

“I don’t know that I’d choose one. But one who I think is cute and does it the right way is Carrie Underwood. We’ll watch her. But I’m never going to mention anyone else’s name ever again. This is the last one…”

On December 3, both Jessica and Carrie are slated performers at the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Dolly Parton.

Jessica states in her memoir that even though John had recently broken up with her, the night before the event he sends her song lyrics to the Aerosmith song, "Angel." This causes her to go into a tailspin wondering what was going on with him.

She began drinking backstage prior to the show, she said, and then John called her right before she was supposed to perform, which turned into an ugly conversation.

When she finally gets on stage to sing, she botches the words to "9 to 5" and has to stop singing. Her part is subsequently cut from the final broadcast.

Later, as the night’s performers, including country stars Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, and Kenny Rogers gathered onstage, Jessica appeared to have been crying. (Source: The San Francisco Examiner)

She and Carrie are not seen or photographed together during the evening, but you can see them entering from opposite ends of the stage at the end of the event.

A December 20 report seems to confirm that Tony and Carrie are really seeing each other after Tony allegedly says as much to a reporter from his college town's newspaper.

OK, talk about Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson apparently was just fabricated rumor. But believe that the former Eastern Illionis quarterback suddenly nationally known star for the nation’s team is seeing former American Idol winning singer Carrie Underwood. “That one is true,” Romo said. (Source: Journal Gazette)

On Christmas Day 2006, Carrie attends the Dallas Cowboys game. She is pictured hugging Tony on the sideline before the game and then seen watching the action from the owner's suite. The Cowboys lose badly, which the media cannot help mentioning as they discuss Carrie's appearance at the game.

Yards Per Carrie? Apparently the best way to impress a pop princess is to become the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. When being linked to Jessica Simpson got old, Tony Romo turned his attention to former “American Idol” Carrie Underwood. During the telecast before the first Monday night game, it didn’t take NBC long to find Underwood, in part because she somehow secured a field pass and was shown talking to Romo and another young woman. With end zone seats scarce, Underwood watched from Jerry Jones’ luxury suite as Romo and the ‘Boys got clawed by the Philadelphia Eagles, 23-7. NBC’s exclusive Carrie Cam provided memorable shots during the first half. No one asked Romo about his Christmas date after the game because the timing seemed wrong. When asked earlier this month about rumors that he was dating the “American Idol” winner, the former Eastern Illinois quarterback was quoted in the Journal Gazette & Times-Courier, “That one is true.” (Source: Fort Worth Star Telegram)

Famed sportscaster John Madden echoes a sentiment quick to be dispersed throughout the sports media landscape, blaming Carrie's presence for Tony's bad performance:

During Monday’s NBC telecast, John Madden said Romo might have been distracted because Underwood visited Romo on the field two hours before the game and gave him a hug. He said, “If I were in a relationship, I would feel bad for the girl because I wouldn’t have time for her. It’s football season."

January 2007

A new report early in the year claims everything about Tony and Jessica dating was just made up for some game day tickets.

In unbelievably tacky fake hookup news, recent reports that Jessica Simpson is dating Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo are false. And who started the rumors? Her own father, Joe Simpson. The New York Post reports that Papa Simpson let Romo name-drop his daughter in exchange for game tickets, and the two supposed lovebirds have never even met. In reality, Romo is dating American Idol finalist Carrie Underwood, and Simpson was just spotted again with John Mayer. (Source: Hartford Courant)

The Cowboys lose their wildcard playoff game on January 6 after Tony botches the hold for a field goal that would have let Dallas take the lead near the end of the game. Criticism for his end-of-season play comes to a fever pitch. Carrie is not at the game.

On January 21, Carrie says the rumors about her and Tony were always overblown.

"The first time I ever met him was on Christmas, right there on the field. Everybody was like, 'Ooh, they are together.' And then I was blamed for Dallas not winning that game... He is a very nice guy and I've talked to him a few times, but we are very much not together." An Illinois newspaper had originally reported that Tony admitted the two were dating and Carrie struck back saying, "That was one person from one local newspaper that said that, so whether or not..." "I've read 'sources said' we met on Thanksgiving. I had no clue who he was at that time. He is probably getting a little tired of that one (the false rumor he was dating Jessica Simpson) and now he's probably tired of this one..." (Source)

Meanwhile, Jessica and John are back together again, and publicly. They are seen out together on January 23 in Miami.

Jessica: He said a lot of our breakups were about me drinking and not being present for him, which was not, I would only find out much later, the full truth. But I took him at his word about his motivations, and that's why I always went back. It was my fault, and if he forgave me, that was all that mattered. (Source: Open Book)

February 2007

During Super Bowl week, Tony also denies a romance with Carrie:

“We’re friends," Romo said. "She's a very nice, sweet girl, I care for her, and whoever ends up with her will be a very lucky guy." (Source: Chicago Tribune)

Unconfirmed reports claim Carrie is "dating British singer Oliver Trevena, after dumping football hunk Tony Romo." I am not sure if she ever really dated that person.

Meanwhile, Jessica and John attend a Grammys party together on February 11.

We went to Sony’s Grammy afterparty together, and I was so happy he posed for pictures with me, because Grammy night is like the prom in our industry. He was nominated for five awards and won two that night. He broke up with me that night at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. I can’t even recall why. I just remember knocking on his hotel room door and begging until he finally took me back in the middle of the night. (Source: Open Book)

Despite this tumultuous dynamic, John and Jessica will be seen out together on several more occasions throughout the spring, including at Madison Square Garden later in February, in New York City in March, visiting Australia in April, and at the MET Gala in May.

April 2007

In the April 2007 issue of Cosmopolitan, Carrie denies that she is dating Tony and says her last serious relationship was her college boyfriend, Drake.

But on April 22, Carrie is seen celebrating Tony's birthday with him at a party in Dallas.

American Idol winner Carrie Underwood and Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo insist they’re just friends, but they continue to send mixed signals. A spy for People spotted them at Dallas’ Ghostbar on Sunday for Romo’s 27th birthday bash, joined by his teammates. The mag’s Web site reports that the pair “looked very cozy” and that their “arms were around each other all night” in the deejay booth. Underwood spokesman Jessie Schmidt acknowledged that the two have been spending time together but are “definitely not boyfriend/girlfriend. It’s very casual at this point." (Source: Fort Worth Star Telegram)

Heavily watermarked pictures of Carrie and Tony partying together were posted here.

May 2007

On May 15, Tony escorts Carrie to the ACM Awards. A notable moment commented on in the media is when she wins an award and hands him her purse to hold while she goes up on stage to accept.

Quizzed about her date at last night's country celebration, the former American Idol winner gushed, "We're really good friends and we hang out and we support each other and everything that we do and it's great to have somebody here who's got your back." Meanwhile, Romo confessed, "We're just getting to know each other a little better and we'll see where everything goes, but it's just nice to have somebody at the end of the day to talk to who is going through similar things. "She's got a great personality, so she's really easy to talk to... (and) she loves to talk on the phone." Underwood revealed backstage that her awards show performance would be the first time Romo has seen his sweetheart play live. (Source)

June 2007

A tabloid report claims Tony has told Carrie that he wants to take a break so he can focus on the upcoming football season.

The season begins in September and ends in January. “Carrie thought that they were moving to a more committed relationship,” a source told the tabloid. Romo asked Underwood to give him space for his career once before, and she did this, but this time, the request has hit a sour note with her, says the source, who added, “Carrie wants a firm commitment.” (Source: MSNBC.com)

September 2007

Carrie's album "Carnival Ride" is released and she tells an interviewer that she and Tony have always been friends and weren't really dating.

Also in September, reports come out that Jessica is planning to make a country album. In response to that news, this little comparison chart is printed in the Chicago Tribune:

By September, Jessica and John are broken up again, and this time they remain apart long enough for her to start thinking about dating someone new. John is spotted out with actress Minka Kelly in late September, and he will date her for the next few months.

October 2007

In the October 26, 2007, issue of Entertainment Weekly, Carrie tells the reporter that she and Tony never got the chance to become a real couple and seemingly confirms that things didn't work out for them because of football and the negative attention:

“At one point it seemed like that’s where it was headed, but point blank, he is about football. I don’t know if it’s that I’m not quite his type or whatever, but I don’t think he’s at the point in his life where he would be willing to sacrifice football. He hated so much that people thought he was paying more attention to me and it was causing him not to do well.”

That same week, Carrie is linked to actor Chace Crawford with the two of them being spotted out together in New York City. Earlier in October, Tony is linked to actress Sophia Bush, but that's denied by sources. He is then seen partying with celebrities including Britney Spears on Halloween.

November 2007

Carrie covers Seventeen Magazine and addresses the Tony relationship again:

"We're very good friends, and I talk to him pretty much every day, whether it's a text or whatever," she says. "But we were never, like, dating. We hang out. We like doing the same things, and we come from similar backgrounds, and we both stumbled into big fame real fast. So we understand where each other is coming from. It's just the wrong time for both of us. In a different world, we might have dated. But not in this one right now." (Source)

While the timing might not have been right for Tony and Carrie, it apparently becomes right for Tony and Jessica, finally. At the end of November, Tony is linked to Jessica for real this time, a year after the initial rumors about them began.

Hours after guiding his Dallas Cowboys to a Thanksgiving Day win over the New York Jets, Tony Romo grabbed dinner with Jessica Simpson in Dallas. Romo, 27, arrived at the Dragonfly restaurant inside the swank Hotel ZaZa at around 7 p.m. Thursday, shortly after Simpson, also 27. They settled into a corner table with about 25 friends and family. (Source)

Jessica states in her book that their relationship began after she saw Tony say on TV that she was his dream girl. Knowing that he had been friendly with her father, she asked her dad to reach out to him.

We went public quickly, which was also new for me. It was easy. He had no interest in drama. He said the Lord’s Prayer every night before bed. A solid person who was the kind of guy that, as a kid, I imagined marrying.

December 2007

Jessica attends the Cowboys game against the Eagles on December 16, 2007, just as Carrie had done almost a year before. Tony's performance is also similar to that of his performance when Carrie attended.

From Jessica's memoir:

I proudly wore a pink version of Tony's jersey with his number nine on the front, and there I was, cheering on my guy. Annnd he proceeded to play the worst game of his career. ... "Send Jessica home!" the chant began. "Send Jessica home!"

"Jinx" was the word everyone used. The media was cruel, and even Tony's teammate Terrell Owens talked about me to the press. "Right now, Jessica Simpson is not a fan favorite," he said, "in this locker room or in Texas Stadium." He also helpfully added that the last time Tony played close to this bad was the year before, when he had dated Carrie Underwood.

The nickname "Yoko Romo" is quickly assigned to Jessica and the media unleashes some pretty mean and unfair commentary.

January 2008

Tony is spotted on vacation in Cabo with Jessica a week before the Cowboys lose to the New York Giants in the playoffs.

The media narrative becomes that the vacation made Tony unfocused for the game, and it leads to more backlash against Jessica who apparently forced him to go, or something!

Jessica Simpson can vacation with boyfriend Tony Romo anywhere she wants now. NFL quarterback Romo has lots of free time, now that the New York Giants knocked him and the Dallas Cowboys into the offseason Sunday. But he may want to keep Simpson away from Dallas, where fans are blaming her for the Giants 21-17 victory in Sunday's big playoff showdown. (CBS)

John for some reason decides he needs to pipe up and defend his ex-girlfriend on his blog:

“Dear Dallas and Surrounding Areas, This isn’t a sports blog, and it isn’t a publicity stunt. (but have at me if it feels right.) This is about doing what I think is right as a person, in this case speaking my mind. I have never known anyone to have more pride in their home state and their upbringing in it than Jessica Simpson has in Texas. I don’t really follow sports, but I have played some of my biggest and best concerts in your state, and having witnessed how dynamic the spirit there is, I’m betting emotions are running high right about now. All witty barbs, blogs, and fashion policing aside, that girl loves Texas more than you know. It’s one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don’t try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn’t be able to, but it’s less work for all involved.) I just thought it would mean something coming from the guy who has the absolute least to gain from this. And if I’m out of line in having written it, too bad. I can spare a Wednesday’s worth of bad press if it means sticking up for a good soul. JM”

"The absolute least to gain from this" ... except maybe trying to keep an emotional hook in your ex-girlfriend's heart.

June 2008

While it is not addressed in Jessica's book, some media reports claim that Tony and Jessica break up but get back together during the summer of 2008. Some reports blame Jessica's "meddling" father, while at least one tabloid claims she's also jealous of Carrie.

“(Jessica) is really upset that (Tony’s) still communicating with Carrie,” the source said. In fact, the insider revealed that the Dallas Cowboy quarterback frequently contacts the country-music star via e-mail and text messages even though he knows it bothers Jess. “She had specifically asked Tony to stop,” the insider added.

On June 13, 2008, Jessica is pictured wearing a Real Girls Eat Meat shirt. Tabloids like OK Magazine immediately question if this is a dig at Carrie because Carrie has been very outspoken about being a vegetarian. OK Magazine claims:

"Jess is sick of hearing about how Tony still has feelings for Carrie," says the insider. "She's obviously trying to poke fun at her rival and let her know who really has Tony's heart."

August 2008

Adding fuel to the simmering fire, Carrie says in the September issue of Allure Magazine that Tony still calls her.

"The phone will ring and it'll be him, and I'll maybe not answer," says the singer, 25, of the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, adding that the relationship wasn't serious. "We were both small town people doing very big things, and we relied on each other, dealing with fame."

Soon after, Jessica is asked about this quote during a radio interview, and she says it's not true. She also says she and Tony "laughed" at the statement, and denies that her shirt was a dig at Carrie.

“Tony and I both laughed at that,” Jessica told the Woody and Jim show. “Yeah, we got a chuckle out of it.” The actress-singer then joked that she even “looked at his call log” just to make sure, before adding, “I’m kidding! I’m not that girl!” In the September issue of Allure magazine, Carrie implied that her ex-boyfriend was just a phone call away, saying, “The phone will ring and it'll be (Tony), and I'll maybe not answer.” But Jessica insists it’s “definitely” not true, and “if Tony wanted to call her or be with her, he would.” While she was on the subject of dispelling Carrie-related rumors, Jessica cleared up the controversy about her “Real Girls Eat Meat” shirt. “I wore it because I thought it was funny,” she said. “I don’t know what Carrie eats. I didn’t know she only eats vegetables.” (Source)

September 2008

Fans of the Cleveland Browns use both Jessica and Carrie's likenesses to taunt Tony during a game versus the Cowboys.

October 2008

John, who has somewhat been in a relationship with Jennifer Aniston since May 2008, shows up to Jessica's parents' Halloween party, which she is attending with Tony.

If John texted or emailed, I would hold up my phone and tell Tony immediately. He knew the hold John had over me, and it was like telling your sponsor when you're triggered. He'd seen how I reacted when John randomly showed up at my parents' Halloween party in Encino. I had no idea he was coming and was shocked. ... Not how you want to run into your ex with your current boyfriend standing right next to you. John routinely used his friendship with Ashlee's then-husband, Pete Wentz, as an excuse to stay in the Simpson family orbit. My parents knew what he had done to me, but John was always so charming. (Source: Open Book)

November 2008

Carrie tries to smooth things over from` her previous comments about Tony calling her, and says she did that interview a long time before it ever came out.

“See, this is always a tricky thing,” Underwood answers. “I don’t think people realize that when you do an interview, the magazine comes out six months later. It was just something that was said in passing, and I would never mean to say anything to hurt anybody or to stir up anything, because I’m just not about drama. At all. I might be mad too,” Underwood adds, “if somebody said my boyfriend was calling some other girl. So I can definitely see where she would be coming from. But I haven’t talked to him since, like, May.” (Source)

But Tony was dating Jessica in May, so this possibly could lend credence to the June 2008 reports that Jessica was upset about him communicating with Carrie — despite Jessica's denials.

May 2009

Everyone seems to move on with their lives, with the exception of John. After ending his nine-month relationship with Jennifer Aniston, he has set his sights back on Jessica.

According to her memoir, John remains friends with Jessica's parents, which keeps him connected to her life. It is interesting, and strange, to note that it is Jessica's father's connection to Tony that gets them together in the first place, and it is her parents' connection to John that keeps him in her orbit.

He told them he had read my Vanity Fair cover story that came out in May. My parents told me he went on and on about it. He emailed me about it, too, telling me how amazing it was and that he loved me and wanted me back. (Source: Open Book)

June 2009

John's pursuit of Jessica intensifies, according to her memoir.

As we got closer and closer to July and my birthday, he ramped up his wooing of my family. He told them in no uncertain terms that he had changed, and he could tell I had changed, too. "I need her back," he said. "I'm in love with her."

July 2009

Jessica and Tony are seen out on July 1 at a golfing event with Tiger Woods, but they will break up only eight days later.

Ironically, after all the hullabaloo in the press about Tony maybe calling Carrie, it is Jessica and John's communicaton that leads to the demise of their relationship.

The day before Jessica's birthday, on July 9, Tony breaks up with Jessica.

Radar Online orginally reported this story back in 2009:

Dumping someone before their birthday weekend seems especially harsh, but a source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that Tony Romo had good reason for calling it quits with Jessica Simpson the night before her Barbie and Ken-themed bash. He found messages from her ex John Mayer! Flying into Los Angeles on Thursday, Romo quickly made up for lost time with Simpson but their reunion quickly took a turn for the worse. “They were hanging out and he picked up her phone and she got defensive about it,” the source revealed. “Tony found messages from John and went ballistic.” While the couple has had their fair share of rocky patches during their relationship, the idea of Simpson possibly cheating with Mayer was the straw that broke the camel’s back: “Tony dumped her right then. He walked out and that was it.” (Source)

And in her 2020 memoir, Jessica confirmed that this was the true story.

Simpson claims that her father brought Mayer over to their home in Los Angeles when she was in town. “By a fire in the backyard, he stood and told all of us that he loved me and that we could all trust him to be a good man. I told him I would always love him, but I was with Tony,” she said. “But I didn’t tell Tony. I broke my own rule of full disclosure about any contact, even accidental, with John.” Soon after, Romo saw an email from Mayer on Simpson’s phone and suspected they were seeing each other behind his back. “I hadn’t cheated on Tony at all, but I could not lie and say I hadn’t even seen him,” she said. “And within that second, he broke up with me right there. Two years, gone with an email.”

After clearing his head, Jessica says in her memoir that Tony realized she was telling the truth and had not cheated. But, she decided that breaking up was the right thing to do:

When he said he wanted me back, I was honest with him. “No, you did what I needed to do,” I said. “Thank you.” “This is really over?” “You broke up with me, so yes,” I said. “It’s over.”

Jessica states in her book that she did end up reconciling with John privately after her breakup with Tony, for a brief and regrettable time.

September 2009

Media outlets report that Tony is dating Candice Crawford. Funnily enough, Candice is the sister of Chace Crawford, who briefly dated Carrie in 2007. At the time, Candice was host of the Cowboys' weekend sports show, Special Edition, which is presumably connected to how she met Tony.

December 2009

Carrie gets in one last word about Tony, when she's asked if he's the inspiration for her song "Cowboy Casanova."

The country crooner recently told Esquire magazine that her hit song, “Cowboy Casanova,” was definitely not about the NFL quarterback. “No. I would never immortalize a guy that did me wrong,” Underwood told the men’s magazine. “I would never give him that much credit.” (Source)

This same month, Carrie gets engaged to hockey player Mike Fisher, who she has been dating since 2008.

February 2010

Jessica states in her memoir that she remained connected to John until his infamous February 2010 interview with Playboy. His comments about her and other women are the turning point for Jessica.

“That girl is like crack cocaine to me,” Mayer said of Simpson. “Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm. Did you ever say, ‘I want to quit my life and just f—ing snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to f–k you, I would start selling all my s–t just to keep f—ing you.'”

Jessica speaks on her reaction in her memoir:

I didn't accept his apology. I deleted all his contact information from my phone. I was done with this man in a way I never thought was possible. When he reached out to me, I changed my number and changed my email. Delete.

May 2010

Jessica begins dating former NFL player, Eric Johnson.

July 2010

Carrie marries Mike Fisher.

November 2010

Jessica announces her engagement to Eric. They will marry in 2014.

December 2010

Tony and Candice get engaged. They marry in 2011.

Where are they now?

Tony, Carrie, and Jessica are still married to their spouses as of 2024.

Jessica released her memoir, "Open Book" in 2020, and openly discussed her struggles with alcohol abuse and getting sober in 2017.

John went on to have another off-and-on celebrity relationship with Katy Perry from 2012-2015 and was immortalized as a terrible boyfriend who took advantage of a 19-year-old in the Taylor Swift song "Dear John." He has never gotten married.
