“Hope Springs”
Hope Springs, by weightyghosts
“When Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter travel to Wales to find Remus' mother's grave, they might end up with more questions than answers.”
Pairing: pre-wolfstar, more like Remus x His Three Besties One of Which He Fancies
Rating: teen
Word count: 2100
Genre: bit of angst, bit of drama, bit of wolfstar foreshadowing 
Published: January 31, 2022
Warnings: story takes place in a cemetery so there are mentions of death and dead people; the ending is open to interpretation but it’s basically either spooky or traumatic oops

   Remus watched in the corner of his eye as Sirius turned his head towards him for the fifth time, opening his mouth to say something before thinking better of it and looking straight ahead again.
James, on Sirius’ other side, was better about hiding his impatience— he was actually quiet for a change— but Remus could still see his knee bouncing rapidly.
And Peter had fallen asleep a good twenty minutes ago.
Sirius’ entire body turned towards him now and Remus heard the intake of a big breath, the kind that usually preceded a rapid fire rant that Remus really wasn’t in the mood for, so he gave Sirius his best glare, effectively shutting that down.
Remus went back to picking at the blades of grass beneath him and staring unseeingly across the cobblestone lane at the simple iron gate.
The silence only lasted a few minutes. Which was more than Remus had been hoping for, realistically.
“Look,” Sirius finally said without preamble, “We came all this way!”
Remus watched James subtly kick Sirius and he closed his eyes against the squirming guilt in his stomach.
“I’m just saying,” Sirius continued, unbothered, “It’s hot, we’re here, let’s just go in.”  
“I need five more minutes,” Remus said.
“No,” Sirius whined, “My delicate porcelain complexion can’t handle another five minutes in this Welsh sun.”
“Hate to agree with him, Moony,” James chimed in as he pulled his sticky shirt away from his body, “But it’s hot as bollocks and we only have a few more hours before my parents start to wonder where we are.”
Remus sighed in defeat. “Fine.“
He flinched as Sirius bolted upright and threw his hands in the air in relief, cheering loudly enough that he startled Peter awake.
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
Sirius walked over and patted him on the head, then wrinkled his nose when he realised how sweaty Peter was. “Time to get out of the sun, Wormy,” he said as he wiped his fingers on his jeans.
Peter stood up to stretch widely— and nearly knocked over a woman walking past him.
“Sorry! Sorry,” he gasped, cheeks going bright red.
The woman smiled quickly at him but had her head ducked low, her nose almost buried in the bouquet of tiny blue flowers she was holding. Remus had a teacup and saucer with those flowers on them at home.
“Nice one, Pete,” James said as he also stood and stretched.
Remus watched the woman cross the lane; she looked to be in her early forties, tall and slight. She opened the gate to the cemetery with familiarity, her fingers closing it gently behind her. Remus swallowed and looked away.
“C’mon, Moony,” Sirius said softly.
Remus looked up at Sirius’ outstretched hand and took a long breath before grabbing it and letting himself be pulled to his feet. Sirius squeezed his hand once before letting go and turning to stand beside him, unknowingly squeezing Remus’ heart in the same way. James and Peter lined up next to him and they waited for him to take the first step.
*  *  *  *  *
“Are these supposed to be organised in some sort of way?” James asked after a few minutes of searching.
“It’s not alphabetical?” Peter frowned.
James elbowed Sirius for snorting.
“Considering that’s Hughes right next to Fung, I’d say no,” Sirius mock-whispered.
Peter hung his head and blushed. “I just meant it’d be easier if it was.”
“Yes it would be,” James said firmly.
Remus was a row away, his arms crossed over his body as his eyes skimmed the names on each headstone.
Pryce. Davies. Applegath. Rhydderch.
So many dead people.
Despite the August heat, Remus was chilled thinking about all the lives that had been put to rest here. How many people had known just one of the bodies buried below his feet? How many friends had they had? Children, lovers, neighbours, pets… Their lives were as complex and intricately woven together as the roots of the trees surrounding them now.
Perhaps his father had been right all along when he’d told Remus that a grave was no place for a child. Not that Remus was a child anymore at the age of fifteen, but at that moment, he wasn’t actually sure if he was old enough to really comprehend his surroundings and how they made him feel.
“Moony?”
Remus jumped at the voice so close behind him.
“Sorry,” Sirius smiled sheepishly. “You alright?”
“Yeah,” Remus shook himself a little and shrugged. “Just strange. All these people.”
Sirius hummed. “I kind of like it though. Makes me feel less alone.”
Remus let out a laugh of surprise. “What? Makes me feel the opposite.”
“Yeah? But how can anyone feel alone when you can see— literally see— how many people have lived and died here? Just in this one place? There must be hundreds of people buried here, hundreds of visitors every week. I think it’s wild how many people there are on this earth, and have been since the beginning of— what?”
Sirius stopped when he realised Remus had too.
“Nothing,” Remus said automatically, staring at Sirius and trying to figure him out. He was such a dolt some of the time— well, most of the time, for as long as Remus had known him— and then he would say or do things that made Remus stop and really look at him. Which wasn’t a hardship, if Remus was being honest with himself after months of denying how breathtakingly beautiful Sirius had become.
“You’re doing it again,” Sirius said softly, breaking Remus out of his reverie.
“What?” Remus frowned. “What?” he asked again when Sirius just smiled at him, feeling his own lips tugging at the corners too.
They both turned at the sound of James and Peter crunching over the dry grass towards them.
“Any luck?” James asked.
Remus felt his face fall a little when he realised Sirius had distracted him from remembering why they were here. “Oh, er, no.”
“How do you spell ‘Howl’ anyway?” Pete asked as he wiped his brow on his sleeve.
“H-o-w-e-l-l,” Remus recited, taking a deep breath before setting off on his mission again. “Hope. Hope Howell.”
*  *  *  *  *
Remus had spotted a handful of visitors in the cemetery, but his eyes kept getting drawn to the woman they had first seen go in. She was a few rows away, sitting in front of a small headstone, and was hidden from Remus’ view most of the time by the larger stones and the thick trees between them. But when he could see her, he watched her face dip beneath her straw sun hat as she fiddled with the bunches of tiny flowers; her sandy brown hair just brushing the tips of her shoulders; the modest, pastel checkered dress that moved in the breeze and reminded Remus of summer picnics.
He was filled with an immense feeling of sadness, of longing. Not unexpected when searching for his mother’s grave for the first time, surely, but what was unexpected was how hard Remus found it to watch the other people in the cemetery mourn their loved ones. Something he’d never been allowed to do before for his mother. Something he wondered if anyone would do for him.
He glanced back to where the woman had been but couldn’t see her again.
Remus walked away from the other boys for a minute, thankful that they knew him well enough to know when to push him and when to leave him be. He smiled then. There might have been important parts missing from his life, or cruel parts added in, but he was truly lucky to have what he did.
He was just contemplating turning around to find his friends when he felt a light tap on his shoulder.
“Excuse me?”
Remus turned in surprise to find the woman from before standing right behind him.
“Did you drop this?” she asked in a thick Welsh accent, holding out a single yellow daffodil.
Remus found it hard to tear his eyes away from hers to glance down at the flower, but he did and shook his head. “Oh, no, that’s not mine.”
The woman didn’t react much but she nodded slowly and dropped her hand. Her warm hazel eyes were flickering all across Remus’ face, up to his hair, down to his hands, and Remus probably should have felt uneasy by the scrutiny, but there was something about her that made Remus feel oddly comfortable. She had a calming presence about her, even though she was anxiously twisting the flower in her fingers, and Remus felt safe for some reason, the way he did when he went to James’ home.
“I’m sorry,” Remus found himself saying.
She tilted her head to the side, the small creases at the corner of her eyes deepening, and she opened her mouth to speak, when—
“Moony! Come here!”  
He looked over his shoulder to see James waving him over and Remus nodded at him quickly before turning back to the woman.
She took a step back, her eyes downcast now.
“My mistake,” she said, then abruptly side-stepped him and disappeared between the headstones. Remus blinked after her for a moment with a strange feeling twisting in his stomach.
He made his way over to James, who was propping up Sirius from under his arms.
“What’s going on?” he asked.
“The drama queen claims he’s expiring from boredom and we’ll have to find him an empty plot before long,” James huffed, stumbling a little under Sirius’ dead weight.
Sirius stuck out his bottom lip and pouted up at Remus. “The end is nigh, Moonshine.”
Remus breathed a laugh and tried to push aside the buzzing in his head that had been building and building since they’d arrived on the train from London. “I think there’s been enough death for one day,” he said, reaching for Sirius’ arm to help James to right him, “Let’s go get some ice lollies and head back to the station.”
“Yay!” Sirius grinned and straightened up.
“Oi, Remus?”
“The muggle ones?” Sirius asked as he skipped along beside him. “The ones that claim they taste like grape or banana but don’t actually taste like any fruit known to man?”
“Eugh,” James stuck his tongue out. “The fudgy ones are so much better.”
“Remus…”
Remus chuckled. “We can look for both—”
“Remus!”
“What, Pete?” Remus huffed as he, Sirius, and James all whipped around to where Peter was standing a little ways away.
“You… Er, you need to see this.”
Remus frowned and shared a confused look with the boys before heading over.
“I just, I don’t know why I stopped,” Peter stammered, “Maybe the flowers, but…look. Look at the name.”
Remus slowed his steps, the chill floating back into his spine as he realised maybe he wasn’t ready for this. “Is it— Is it my mum?”
He felt a solid hand cover his own and looked down to see his fingers gripping tightly onto the fabric of Sirius’ shirt. Sirius squeezed his hand reassuringly and he let go quickly.
“What…the…bloody…”
James was standing beside Pete, gaping at the small headstone.
“What is it?” Sirius asked as he hurried over. “Woah.” His eyes widened before flicking back to Remus.
“Is it my mum?” Remus repeated, a little desperately.
“No, Moony,” Sirius said in an odd voice, “It— it isn’t your mum.”
Remus bit his lip and couldn’t help feeling relieved and disappointed at the same time. He didn’t know what to expect when he stepped closer to read the grave with the little blue flowers placed thoughtfully before it, but it hadn’t been this.
Remus John Lupin
March 10, 1960 — March 1, 1965
Fy machgen anwhlaf (my dearest boy)
The air rushed out of Remus’ lungs and a stunned silence rang in his ears.
“I don’t— I don’t understand—” he stammered, blinking away the sudden tears in his eyes as he turned to his friends. Their faces mirrored the shock and confusion he felt like the sweat beading along his brow.
“March 1, 1965…” James read out slowly. “Is that…”
“The day my mother and I were attacked,” Remus choked out, “The day mum was killed and I became a werewolf— What—” He sucked in a shaky breath.
“Re…” Sirius said. “You don’t think…?”
Remus ran a hand through his hair and the image of that woman’s face came to mind. He glanced over his shoulder in the direction she had disappeared in, his breath lodging in his throat when he unexpectedly remembered that those tiny blue flowers with the dots of yellow at the centre were called forget-me-nots. The same ones on his favourite teacup at home.
That woman. There had been something about her. Something comforting, safe. Familiar.
She was… she was…
Hope.

here’s a rambly text post about what i’ve been up to!
while hunting for ghoulia at target today (they had nothing except the coffin bean and frankie/deuce pack), i saw some real littles... shopkins... things. i thought they fully transitioned to using the real littles name, but?? i guess not??? is shopkins just for the foodstuffs? anyways. the backpacks were super cute, but i don't love the scale of the items (i don't like shopkins for that reason tbh. i never got into them.)
but i got some real littles shoes! a far cry from ghoulia, but i've been intrigued about them for a while. i like shoes a reasonable amount, i think. i got one from series... uh... hm. it doesn't look like it has that information. well, my collector's guide includes the color-changing ones, if that helps anyone at all. i got the possible best case scenario: the plain and boring ones! lol. it's muted sweetie, which is apparently a common shoe. they're very cute looking. they probably won't fit my dolls, but i still like them. i'm undecided if i'll get more or not. i love the little shoebox and tissue paper, but none of the other shoes in this series are really catching my eye, though the basketball style shoes are so cute.
also, i got lagoona! finally, my sweet fishy daughter has returned. i can't wait for her skulltimate secrets to drop, i am SO pumped for that. all i have left to get now are ghoulia (sigh), cleo, and clawdeen. they had the moons variant clawdeen at my store, but i honestly prefer the striped, so i'll either keep looking or just grab her on amazon, depending on if it's random or not.
i love lagoona so much 😭 she's so perfect... except i wish her armfins were a different color to match her leg fins. and blue gradient hands but that's more of a pipe dream, i think different color armfins is (a more) realistic (pipe dream). i'll take some pics of her and maybe the rest of the ghouls in a few days, my schedule is kinda busy! but i FINALLY got to pull all the plastic stay ties out of a doll head without one fucking breaking!!! good luck lagoona here to save the day!!!!! ughhhhh i had to carefully snip one in lala and toralei, and push the end of two into frankie. utterly hellish.
my barbie looks #3 arrived yesterday! that was super exciting. i paid a bit more than retail for her, but that’s okay. the sculpt is SO beautiful!!!!! i love it so much!!!!!! it makes me want to hop on ebay and grab another of her head lol. the upper elbow joint was stuck so i boiled her arms for a bit and some of the water got on her flocking and messed it up... sob sob. the plan was to customize her but her head is SO CUTE i cry. and omg she really does have the pinkest undertone ever, i was so sure it was going to work and be fine for a head i have but NOPE LOL people were NOT exaggerating, She Is So Pink. maybe i’ll make a post about that later with the planned head i was going to use (127 i believe?)
she fits the mini version of my jacket i made a while ago! maybe i’ll post that as well. hm, and create a new tag for my sewing stuff.. that’d probably be useful.i love love the petite hand mold, it’s so expressive and easier to get into tiny tiny sleeves lmao. i’ll probably remake my mini jacket in a stretchier fabric (i just used quilting cotton for the current/prototype version) so it’s easier to dress the doll and i don’t have to use tweezers to ease the fabric over tiny hands. 
i want to sew things for lagoona, but she’s literally my favorite doll and i think she’s perfect as is, so whatever. i loved her since g1, i’m not gonna stop now lol.

i_d Bottoms is a delight because it’s a rare breed of big studio production with a compelling original premise, following Josie (Ayo Edebiri) and PJ (Rachel Sennott), two queer teen dirtbags on their circuitous quest to get laid.⁠ ⁠
The movie been called “one of the most quotable films of the decade”, “blisteringly funny”, an “exercise in kamikaze feminism” and more, whilst holding a score of 96% on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.⁠ ⁠
But when we speak, director @/alexisnakamura only wants to lament on her new bangs. “Impulsively cutting your bangs at 5am is peak girlhood,” she says with the jittery intonation of a girl in her twenties.

"Consider this as a promise ring, sweetheart."
𝐛𝐨𝐲𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝! 𝐑𝐞𝐨 who lets you style his hair.

Could you talk a bit about Matthew and Alfred relationship? Our boys need love too
The lads! The fellas! The absolute units!
Bear with me here I wanna give a little bit of a context and a personal explanation as to why I'm really fascinated with these two countries in general.
If there is one nationfolk relationship that comes as close to pure and friendly as it possibly can, it would be the Us-Can one. Of course, it has major problems and unavoidable disputes. But let me tell you, as a balkan, ex-yugoslav cretin, I cannot help but be intriqued with the way these two comunicate. They make fun of eachother sure, they have disputes and squables, sometimes outright clashes, but when there is crisis in the US for example, all I hear is Americans straight up saying "ok well time to move to Canada". It's fascinating to me! As a Croat who, after returning from Serbia from a 3 day trip, brought home souveniers (key chains mostly, with the Serbian flag) I was yelled at by my dad who afterwards didn't talk to me for a few days. All because I dared to bring this enemy countrys flag into our home. Now, I was born in 1999. I have no connection to the war 8 years prior. No excusable, personal vandetta. But still it' s very much acceptable to hate so strongly. And even if it wasn't 8 years that passed, but 80, there still would be a widely accepted resentment. But alas, I am not talking about people, cus frankly people are just people. Alliances and relations between countries are another thing. Imagine sharing a huge fucken border with another country and being friends. My euro brain is imploding. Uncomprehensible.
Now I do understand the US is often described as a bit of a phycho, and frankly Canada is an expert at dealing with the phycho. Kudos. Keep the yanks from whipping out their home protection assault rifles and unleashing hell fire is risky shit. Canada manages tho. What I'm really interested in is the USA's view of Canada. They aren't a threat. They aren't suspicious. They are a force to be reckoned with tho, but they are friends. If there is one ally the USA can rely on its the maple sucking french/anglo bastards up north. So much history in such a short time. Fascinating.
To relate this to the bros, I think these two understand eachother better than most. Matt is quiet, obsetvand and passive (mostly), while his unit of a brother is loud, idealistic and prone to thinking the world owes him time on the world stage. And it works. Matt is the one to talk to his brother in a way that gets Alfred to listen. H speaks Alfreds language and can communicate with him freely. I think that that is a skill and in the modern era, a privilage that not many have. Not many dare to tell Alfred to his face that he fucked up majorly, but Matt can. He knows he can. Alfred knows he can. So he does. Matt can pull his brother aside after an outburst, and for the lack of a better word, humble him.
Alfred respects his brothers oppinion more then other nations'. He went from seeing Matt as a weak, self-pitying and ambitionless dominion, to accepting his views, ideas and even asking his oppinion on certain matters. I like to draw a parallel here. Matt had to sacrifice everything and himself to have Arthur call him into the war room and ask Matthew for his oppinion. Alfred is not much different. It takes time for Matthews voice to be heard, but when the time comes, it's desperately needed.
Alfred tho, is and always will be Alfred. And if somthing else catches his attention, he will ignore the house on fire across the street. He is prone to isolation and ignoring his brother for extended periods of time, just sending him a tiktok every month or so. That being the only indication to Matt that his brother is alive. Alfred has so much shit going on and his 13 braincells have to spread evenly across to cover it all. His brother is a constant in his life, stable and therefore forgotten.
That being said, I don't think there is another person on Earth Alfred loves more than his brother. Showing it is not something he ever learned tho. He knows he cannot buy his way into showing his love for Matt, so with his lack skills of other forms of love expressions, he does nothing.
As for Matt, he checks up on Alfred as much as he can. His history and past have tought him to expect nothing form the people he loves. So he doesn't. He knows Alfred is his closest ally and best friend, but doesn't ask for anything Alfred himself isn't giving. He is a person who waits to be asked to hang out on Saturday instead of asking his friends himself.
So while almost all I talked about is sad and somewhat negative, I do think the bond and conversations these two share are one of the most honest and true expressions of brotherly love. And by god I usually don't use the world love when describing nation-folk relationships, but in this case there isn't a replacement.
sorry for the personal shit and Alfred slander, I love him.

The Princess & the Football Player | Chapter 4
Author’s note: The towel moment is inspired on something that actually happened years ago with the mother of Spain’s current King 😂
Previous chapter | Next chapter
Masterlist
Tumblr media
"Hello, you."
"Hello, Sophie."
"How is Canada treating you?"
"So far so good. Jet lag hasn't hit yet" I say, sitting on my bed.
"You'll probably won't have jet lag. It's like your super power, it never affects you."
"I beg to differ."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah" Sophie says, rolling her eyes. "Are you excited about England's game? About watching him play?" she asks, moving her eyebrows up and down.
"I actually am, yes."
"Are you going to wear his shirt?"
"Almost."
"Almost? What does that mean?"
"When I met him before they traveled, they gave me my own England shirt with the number I used to play with. And guess who also wears that number..."
"No!"
"Yep."
"Ellie, that's a sign! You are destined!"
"Mum and dad would say it's just a coincidence."
"Mum and dad know nothing. Have they told you that they are inviting over some friends to watch the game?"
"What? They don't like football!"
"I know" she shrugs. "But since it is the first game of the World Cup..."
"Please don't let dad say anything stupid. Like that I'm watching my crush or something like that."
"I won't, I promise. I'm still shocked he noticed that you fancy Declan, tho."
"So am I" I sigh. "Anyway, they are knocking on my door, I must go."
"Somewhere interesting?"
"Just lunch with some boring people. Will call you tomorrow, ok?"
"Ok. Love you, sis."
"Love you too" I say, hanging up.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━      
"Nervous about the game, ma'am?" my bodyguard David asks.
"A bit, yes" I say as I sit down, my eyes scanning the pitch, looking for him. For Declan. 
"This should be an easy game, England has a better team."
"You never know" I reply, still looking for him. Where is he? "Has there been any change on the line up?"
"No, ma'am. Why?"
"I'm... Oh, nevermind" I say when I finally spot him.
"Any favourite player, your Royal Highness?" a woman asks, sitting next to me.
"Uh?"
"You seemed to be smiling at the pitch."
"No, no" I reply, feeling my cheeks getting warm. "I'm just excited about the game. And a bit nervous too."
"Same" she says. "It's the first time my country makes it to a World Cup."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I hadn't recognised you or..."
"It's ok, ma'am" she smiles. "And how not to be distracted when there are 22 handsome men in front of you."
"We don't have 11 handsome men on our line up, tho" I say, making her laugh, her reaction helping me relax a bit.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━      
"I'm sorry about your debut."
"Oh, don't be. You just scored four goals, I was expecting seven" Dorothea laughs. That's the name of the woman who sat next to me. Dorothea, the Prime Minister of our rival tonight.
"Thank you for the company. I really enjoyed watching the game with you."
"Likewise" she says. "It is never easy to be in a public place on your own, being the one representing your country, and having all eyes on you."
"It is not, no" I smile. I was nervous about that, yes. I always am. I worry about the cameras catching me doing something I shouldn't, about the media taking something out of context... But I must admit I was also nervous because of Declan. I wanted him to do good, to not get injured. Is it too weird that I felt like that for an almost stranger? 
"It's time, ma'am" David says.
"Oh, I better go. I'm meeting the boys in the changing room."
"Lucky you" Dorothea smirks. "Is that lunch date still happening?"
"Definitely. I'll text you to confirm it."
"Perfect. It was a pleasure meeting you, ma'am."
"You too."
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━      
"Your Royal Highness" Kane says. "Please come in."
"Thank you. And congratulations, everyone" I reply, looking around the changing room. And yes, you guessed it. I am looking for Declan.
"Did you enjoy the game?" 
"I did. Though I must confess I was a bit nervous until you scored that first goal" I chuckle.
"I think we all were. But once that ball went in, everything flowed" Kane says.
After having a chat with most players and congratulating them for the win, it's time to take a photo, and Declan still is nowhere to be found.
"Has anyone seen Deccers?" Mount asks.
"He came in late and I think he is still in the shower" Saka says. And as those words leave his mouth, Declan shows up in the changing room. He's only wearing a towel that hangs loosely on his hips, some bits of wet hair falling on his forehead. Oh to be able to run my hands through it, to have him that close to me while he is barely wearing anything...
"Shit" he says when he sees me, his face turning even more red than it already was. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know..."
"Go put some clothes on, Declan" Kane says while shaking his head, the rest of their teammates trying not to laugh.
"Yes, sure, one minute."
"I'm so sorry about that, ma'am" he says once Declan has disappeared to get changed.
"It's ok, don’t worry" I say with a nervous laugh, still trying to process what just happened. That I've had Declan just a few feet away from me, looking glorious and almost naked. 
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━      
"Perfect!" the photographer says once he's taken a few photos. "Thank you, everyone."
"Thank you for coming and for your support, ma'am" Kane says.
"Of course" I reply. "Good luck on the next game."
"Thank you."
"Your Royal Highness!" someone says behind me as I leave the changing room. "Wait a minute, please."
"Oh, hello" I say, turning to look at Declan.
"I'm so sorry about what happened earlier. I didn't know you were here, I thought you'll come later, and I just..." he says while running a hand through his hair, making me feel... Things. Let's leave it there. "Are you ok?"
"Uh?"
"You seem... I don't know. Is it because of what happened? I made you uncomfortable, didn't I?"
"Oh no. No, no, no. It was the total opposite."
"The opposite of uncomfortable?" he asks while trying to hide a smirk, those gorgeous blue eyes of his fixed on me. 
"I mean... I..." Shit. Shit, shit, shit. "You don't have to apologize for anything. It could happen to anyone."
"Ok" he says, his smirk now on full display. "Will you be at our next game?"
"That's the plan, yes."
"If you come to the changing room again, I'll try not to be almost naked" he chuckles.
"Better you than others." Did I say that? Why? Oh... my God. "And I should probably get going."
"Yes, of course" he says, the smirk not leaving this face. "It was nice seeing you again, Eleanor."
"You too. Good luck on the next game, Declan."
"Thank you, Eleanor" he replies, neither of us moving from where we are stading, our eyes fixed on the other’s.
"Ma'am?" David calls behind me. “It’s time to go.”
"Yes, sorry" I say, trying to stop smiling like an idiot and make my body move. “Goodbye, Declan.”
“Goodbye Elea... I mean, ma’am” he replies before walking into the changing room, murmuring something to himself. Probably that calling me by my given name wasn’t appropiate. But I didn’t care. I don’t care. He made it sound so good... Eleanor.

how does anyone say this guy isn't gay look at that FACE
I KNOW YOU sent this as a joke but HONESTLY some of the DEEP DENIAL I have seen in *coughing* some communities regarding him and the other characters is TRULY astonishing. It ends up being so pathetic and rooted so deep in homophobia, biphobia etc that it just cycles back to being pathetic and kinda sad.
I'm not intending to turn this into a rant, but to me-and to pretty much any queer MGS fan (or LGBTQAI if you dislike queer) it's....obvious. He doesn't fool (us) for a hot second. It's not even a debate. Yet to deeply toxic dudebro *and other toxic het communities, or just the same 'uber masculine' gaming communities that haven't left the mindset of the 90's yet that used to print naked women in magazines just to appeal to them (Link to a video from Caddicarus here that goes pretty good into how atrocious some of this shit got in regards to magazines) he's gotta be ANYTHING but gay.
I genuinely didn't think it was still going to be an issue-but I have seen it still up for debate as early as 2022 and people so desperate they will argue against Vamp being bi even tho Snake LITERALLY SAYS SO in the text. But Snake could've just 'been joking with Raiden'.
We've all seen the posts, we've all seen the stuff, and while it's largely so pathetic it's not worth dwelling over except for amusement-it's kinda sad too.
NO, we never just plain old get "Ocelot is gay" In text but I wanna explain something else too.
I'm *for tumblr anyway* an old man. I'll be 32 years old at my birthday this year. When I was in HS, meterosexual was still a thing. "Gay" was the biggest insult you could be called. A friend had to TELL ME I was bi because I HAD NEVER heard the term.
Gay marriage was legalized in Canada when I was 14-the same year Brokeback Mountain came out. I remember watching the first legally married gay couple on tv and my uncle gagging. When I was much younger, and a teenager, the 'gay character' wasn't called 'gay'.
Instead, they didn't like the opposite sex. Instead, random jokes were made about them being 'abnormal' or 'eternally single'. Instead, incredibly subtle nods were put in to make references to things you would generally only understand as 'this character is gay' if you were an adult with at least SOME exposure to it.
Ocelot, is *in my opinion* absolutely written that way. If you go through the series, there are as many 'hints' and 'nods' and little references that all point in that direction. Is it a cop out? Depends on how you look at it (keep in mind gay marriage still isn't legalized in Japan) I'm not here to discuss another culture though that I'm not a part of-I'm a white Canadian man; I have no say on what is or isn't appropriate for Japan. But I DO remember how homophobic the world used to be-and at times can still be.
The dude bro's making arguments against Ocelot being gay-denying it so hard they turn blue, are usually guys my age or older. I am NOT excusing them-we've got the internet now, 'gay' stopped being an insult a decade ago, it's time to grow up. But I do know how gay characters were written at the time-Ocelot's a perfect example.
Sure, Vamp is stated to be bisexual in 2001. THAT WAS NOT THE NORM AT ALL. And Volgin being Raikov's lover was made obvious in those textual clues-but still only ever stated outright in the original MGS4 Encyclopedia.
I wish these dudes would open their minds a bit (I'm also generalizing a bit, it's not just men in denial). But at the end of the day, it will never not be interesting to me how obvious Ocelot is to us, but not to them.
(THIS GOT OUTTA HAND SORRY-)

DUDEEEEEE AAAAHHHHHHHH
I wanna say fuck you reader for being stubborn
But I also don't know what their real problem
AND I NEVER WATCH CRIMINAL CRIME? SO IDK WHAT HAPPENED
BUT I GOT HOOKED AND NOW I WANT TO WATCH THE REAL MOVIE BUT THEN IT ACTUALLY A FUCKING SERIES AND IT HAS SO MANY SEASOOONNNN
Btw you write as great as always
Still, fuck you for making such a great story over a character idek that I end up follow the fics even tho I have no idea who's this characters
This message was a ride omg
I think I have gathered that you said you have never watched Criminal Minds before. Which is wild to me - again, someone reading my fics when they haven't seen the source material before. If you do want to watch it, I highly recommend it. It's a very long show, but it's very good. It can get very sad at times, but I still think it's worth watching.
(I watch it on Disney+ and I'm in Canada, but idk what streaming services it's on in other countries.)
I am really glad that my fic made you want to watch the show in order to get to know Spencer better!!! I am flattered that my series is that intriguing lmao. Just wait until you watch the show and you see Spencer interact with kids - you will see what a crime it is that he doesn't have a child of his own in canon

dude but the whole face family is a mess of mental disorders and shit. At least if you want to nitpick. Australia and Murica are both ADHD, Canada a depressive lil shit, England is autistic and france bipolar as fuck. I'm still figuring out new Zealand so I can make bingo!
What happened to hi hello how are you 🥲
Im fucking kidding lets go
I have many thoughts on this topic. I just wanna say first that i dont really want to talk about specifically what mental disorder or whatnot each of these characters have. I have my personal hc that i keep private just cus ive strayed so far from canon or even the classic hetalia 2014 country stereotyping. They are my blorbos in the purset sense of the word. So, i feel like if i told you “yeahh murica is adhd on legs” i think it would come across as insensitive.
But on the other hand, in the past 2 years that ive been in group therapy on and off, i have come to be comfortable with talking about mental disorders and dont find it as triggering or offensive as i know some people do. Which is also very valid. People deal with things the best they can and when youre in the trenches of ocd, having a weirdo (me ✊😎) say a fictional character is going through it, it might not sit right. So i wanna keep this as non triggering as possible.
As almost everything i hc, this is something I’ve looked over. And i do agree to a point. Alfred is definitely someone who exhibits traits like excessive talking, impulsiveness, interrupting conversations, difficulty focusing at something that he finds little interest in etc etc. He is easily distracted and tends to find certain people boring. But he also does not have time management skills and he does not forget tasks and plans. Could this be adhd? Sure. Does it have to be? Of course not. So i tend to leave it up in the air. Some people might find comfort in interpreting it as adhd and some would rather stay clear. Both viewpoints equally valid.
I truly dont know about Jack or Arthur. Eleanor too. Honestly i dont really try to make up disorders for them. One thing i dislike is the labeling. If someone, even a silly character, does show traits of some disorder, id rather not have it outright mentioned. It can be cristal clear that Matt has a full on depressive episode, but let me figure that one out myself, chief. I am all in favour of making these fuckers complex and give them shit to shovel, but the moment we start throwing mental disorder labels around, i think the focus strays. But again, only my preference. To someone else, its a comfort.
However, as he is my knight of the highest order, my highest ranking babygirl, my worst punching bag: Matt is depressed as shit. He functions but, God, at what cost?
Does he have depression? Probably. Will i ever make a serious post about his depression specifically? Probably not.
Francois though. He has no disorders, no hardships or difficulties. Makes it easier for me to actively and effectively hate. We are currently negotiating a stalemate, as ive, just today, heard Sous le ciel de Paris after forgetting that song existed. Good fucking song tho. Willing to negotiate the terms of Francois’ surrender.

Do you sell your work or do commisons?? Or do I have to take on a whole new hobby just to attempt to create your beautiful amazing pieces??
Hello! Thanks for the ask and the compliment! 😊💕 I've got both long and short answers for you...
In short, even if it's highly flattering that you would consider purchasing my work, I generally don't sell my work or do commissions. Instead, as you've noted, I would highly recommend you picking up the wonderful hobby of bookbinding! Here's a link to the Renegade Bindery website which has tonnes of great resources for starting out bookbinding, and here's the link to join the discord (must be 18+ tho!), which is a thriving and very helpful community for resources, questions and the like!
Long answer, with more details, is below the cut
In long, even if I generally don't do commissions/sell my work, I have in the past and depending on the situation I may consider doing a commission (ie, you are an author of a fic and wish to get it bound, or want a journal or non-fanfiction bound). In regards to why I don't do fanfiction anymore without express consent of the author (and even then it's questionable) is that I feel very uncomfortable accepting money based off someone else's work, which they have presented to the public for free, even if all I'm charging for is my work (Not For Sale is also part of Renegade Bindery Guild's code, who I am now a part of; you can read more about gift economies at the website on this subject). As well, I've found in the past when I have done commissions I have not particularly enjoyed the process; fanbinding is a downtime passion hobby of mine, and commercializing it tends to remove the passion and relaxation I get from it (and alas, downtime is something that's been sparse for me). As a result, even if you qualify for the above commissions, then the commission would also have to pique my interest before I would say yes. Also, another hurdle for commissions is that I live in so called Canada, and the price for shipping is astronomical (generally, $60 CAD for a tracked shipping outside of country; inside country is $20, more reasonable), which also makes commissioning books difficult, because it adds an extra hefty fee on-top of what one would be paying me in the first place. That said, if you do still want to inquire, feel free to DM me the details and I will let you know (I'm also a curious buggar, so it intrigues me to know what you would be interested in requesting); but in the end, I would simply highly recommend getting into fanbinding yourself as it is a really lovely and fufilling hobby!
Also, if you are also really enthusiastic about a typeset I've done and would like to use it to create your own fanbinding of the fic, then feel free to DM me personally, and I am generally perfectly willing to provide you a copy of the typeset! Of course, I do request that if you do so, when you use it you recognize the typeset was created by me (ie, leaving a statement in the printed copy), and only use it personally and don't share the file, in case it is used later commercially without my consent. If someone else you know is interested in using the typeset, feel free to forward them to me!
I hope that provides you with a few answers! :)

YEAHHHH LMAOO that was the only time I've sent an ask on anon idk why I was so anxious that day LMAOOO
Tho I will say I've debated asking this one question to u so many times and everytime I wanna go on anon but then I realise it would not. Make any sense . If I was on anon so I've just refrained from asking lmaoo (which wow brain as soon as I typed this I've forgotten the question. Good job brain)
ANYWAYS MHMHMHM it's of a strawberry flower!! It's genuinely just such a gorgeous tatt I'd want it for myself even if it wasn't matching so I feel very comfortable getting it in the case we ever split up or anything <3
OOHHH THANK YOU YES PLS FEEL FREE TO GIVE ADVICE I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR MORE both for traveling solo in another country (I am Scared) and also tattoo after care?? Like. It's gonna be above my ankle how careful of socks/pants should I be :000
I mean if you ever wanna go on anon to ask me something that's totally fine I get it, and also if you're ever worried about asking me something just know that if I ever don't want to answer a question for any reason (ie: the answer isn't something I want to divulge publicly, I don't feel comfortable talking about that subject, I feel like I just don't have a good answer, etc.) I just won't answer it. it doesn't mean I'm going to hold a grudge against someone who asks me something I don't wanna answer. I get it, people are curious or have questions or whatever and that's fine! if I don't wanna answer I simply won't and that doesn't mean I'm upset or annoyed or anything like that
oooo a strawberry flower sounds so pretty!! I'm sure that's gonna look amazing
okay advice time for travel + tattoos under the cut bc it got long
oh yeah I was gonna say you're from canada right? I think going through customs is a bit easier for US/Canadian citizens traveling between the two countries, but still good luck with the lines. other advice I have for traveling in another country solo... while you might consider getting your currency exchanged, almost everyone and everywhere takes card these days so as long as you have a card that can be used internationally (I believe mastercard and visa are pretty much usable in every country, although I'm sure if it's just between the US and Canada most cards are fine, just make sure to check). but also if you do wanna do currency exchange, wait until you're in the US to do that or else you'll get ripped off. once you're in the US just go to an ATM and withdraw cash from your bank account, and it'll come out in US dollars without the additional fee you'd get from going to a currency exchange place
OKAY TATTOO TIPS
I think most tattoo artists these days use second skin after giving someone a tattoo. it's basically a sticky thin sheet of plastic that the artist will put on top of the tattoo after it's finished, and usually your artist will instruct you to leave it on anywhere from 24 hours to several days. any artist worth their salt will properly explain how long to keep it on for, what to expect and look out for, etc. the second skin will protect the tattoo so you won't have to worry about it rubbing against fabric in the initial few days after getting it. although I'll say taking that stuff off is a BITCH it's like peeling a bandaid off but so much worse
however, your artist might not use second skin. out of my five tattoos, only two of the artists I've been to used second skin which is apparently unusual because from what I've heard from tattoo artists is that it's pretty much standard at this point to use it. however because only my latter two tattoos used second skin, I didn't realize that I have reactions to second skin that make it not suitable for me to use. you might have a reaction as well and that's ok! for me at least my reaction wasn't anything bad, it's just that I noticed a lot of redness around the second skin and when I took it off (earlier than I was supposed to) it left marks around my tattoo that didn't go away for 6 months. so yeah in the future if I go to an artist and they want to use second skin, I'm going to refuse because I've healed 3 tattoos perfectly fine without it. so if your artist doesn't use second skin (and tbh even if they do because you'll need this once you take the second skin off) buy some aquaphor. your artist is probably going to instruct you to wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap 2-3 times a day, and afterwards you should put a thin layer of aquaphor on top of the tattoo to protect it and soothe any dryness or scabbing. it might seem annoying to wash a tattoo so many times a day, but trust me once it starts scabbing you're going to want to wash it because it itches and the aquaphor calms it down.
having the tattoo on your ankle might be tricky since it's too cold to wear shorts, and the hem of your pants might rub against it. try to wear pants that are looser around your ankles (no skinny jeans or leggings) so that the fabric doesn't irritate it. and try to wear socks that don't touch the tattoo.
above all though, your tattoo artist should be able to tell you everything I just told you. don't be afraid to ask them questions. they want your tattoo to heal nicely bc that's their work! and just in general don't be shy to talk to your artist. my first two tattoos aren't bad by any means, but I don't love them because I was too anxious to properly communicate with my artist about what I wanted. don't be afraid to ask them to change something in the design, or if they put the stencil on and you want a different placement tell them! your artist is there to work with you so just talk to them :)
okay that got so much longer than I meant it to hope that helps!!
