Dad's shirt
Jake x wife reader & daughter
Summary: it was Jake's third father's day and your daughter really loves the gift.
A/N: For those who voted for dad Jake, here you go! I didn't give the reader and Jake's daughter a name, I couldn't decide on a good one
Enjoy!
***
"Daddy is going to be home soon, you know what to say to daddy, sweetheart?" You asked you daughter.
"Yes mommy, how long? Not wait!" She still tried to use as less words as possible, a little stubbornness or laziness -you still hadn't figured out which one it was- but most certainly inherent from her father.
"It is I cannot wait, sweetie. I don't know, depends on daddy's boss and if daddy's plane has been nice today. Less than an hour. Okay?" Jake had texted you he was on way right before he left.
"Befo sleep?"
"Before. Of course, he will be here before sleeptime." The moment you said your last words, keys opened the front door.
"DADDY!" And off she was to the hallway.
"Hello little munchkin. You have been good to mommy?"
"The best!" You heard her say proudly.
"Come, come, come." Jake got pulled inside by your much smaller daughter, but with a big and excited smile on her face. Not matter how bad Jake's day might have been, she made sure it was always ending good. Younger Jake never thought he wanted this, but coming home to his loved ones was all he needed to be happy, the medals or mission successes weren't the peak of his happiness anymore.
"Hi baby." Jake gave you a quick peck on the lips.
"Hi sweetest daddy of our wonderful princess."
"Daddy, no looking, I have surprise. And mommy too! Come mommy. No cheating daddy!" Jake had closed his eyes and placed his hand in front of them.
"Look no cheating little munchkin, my eyes are closed. But I can't wait to see your surprise." He encouraged him/her.
"Come mommy." The two of you grabbed the neatly wrapped gift and made your way back to Jake to deliver the gift.
"Okay babe, keep your eyes closed and place your hands in front of you. And you here, stop jumping around for a second, you are going to trip over your own feet."
"No babe, DADDY." You and Jake giggled at her comment while you were laying the gift in his hands.
"Yes yes sweetie, daddy open up your eyes." Jake opened up his eyes and tried his best for the three year old to look as surprised as possible.
"HAPPY DADDY DAY!" She screamed as loud as she possibly could, poor neighbors, and started to jump up and down again. "Open, open!"
"I think you are the one who is most excited, will you help daddy?"
"Yes." Not even a second after Jake's answer she dragged his arm down to her level so she could help. Jake carefully removed the ribbon so your little girl could start destroying the wrapping paper.
Once the paper was removed the excited little one became even more excited, yes that was possible.
"DADDY DADDY LOOK!" Jake got a drawing smacked in his face by a very proud toddler. This made Jake burst out in laughing. The little ball of joy always managed to do something that put a smile on your faces.
"Wow little munchkin, did you make this?"
"YES, by myself!"
"It is really beautiful, I guess this here is mommy and there are you and this is me with my plane?"
"Yes!"
Jake now took the gift in his hand and unfolded it. It was a white t-shirt with the black text 'I'm the coolest dad' on it. In the O's were replaced by emoji's with aviators on. "I'll wear this proudly, who made the choice?"
"Me!" Your daughter said while raising her hand up.
"She has good taste. Clearly from me."
"Dork." You whispered with a smirk.
And then instead of trying it on himself, Jake took the shirt and put it over your daughter's head and lowered it down her little body, until it hit the ground. "It fits you perfectly little munchkin." Loving the the compliment, she kissed her daddy on the cheek and gave him a big hug.
"Mommy, LOOK!"
"Wow sweetie, is that a dress?"
"Noooo, daddy's shirt!" She mocked you, like you just asked her the dumbest question ever. Being miss smarty-pants, was definitely one of the other things she inherited from Jake.
"Come on you two, photoshoot. Let's go outside, the sun is shining. Mom and dad will be there in a second. Can you search for a nice spot?" She immediately ran off to search the sport in the garden.
"Well, beautiful mommy, thank you for the wonderful gift, although I think she might wear it more often than me." Jake said to you while wrapping his arms around your waist and nuzzling his nose in your neck. "I missed you today, I always miss you."
"Missed you too." Jake pulled you in for a kiss and deepened the kiss immediately. God you missed this one-on-one time.
"EEEWWWW, gross!" Your princess stood in the door with her small hands on her hips, being a little toddler-boss. "Photo!"
"Okay, okay, we're coming."

53. Vanity Hare
The man, the legend... the Smarty Pants.
Obviously a favorite of mine. ((I even made my own Smarty Pants medal for my Hare costume!!))
All the songs in this episode are amazing. Rabbit's elementary school teacher quiet-time song is one of my favorites of his. And the "Real Harebrain" song with all the dancing around and everything is great. I couldn't help myself from drawing it.

—— look who’s joining the infinite tour! only EJIRI ‘MAKI’ TAMAKI, who is the MAIN DANCER OF INDIGO. i’ve heard whispers that the 26 year old is pretty WARM but lowkey SELF-INDULGENT. also, doesn’t he remind you of YUDAI KOGA (K)?
hello everyone! my name is ami and im very happy to be here and write with all of you. sorry i disappeared last time but school and life became bit too much for me and i lost track of things including my activity. but this time around im hoping to plot some fun ideas with everyone. maki is still very much a work in progress so THIS is just the start of his stats page. im going to be fleshing him out as i go but dont let that deter you from plotting with him please. if you like this then i will stop by your dms so that mayhaps we can plot? i even worked up a little plots page HERE if you would like to take a peek at it. okay now onto the good stuff!
tamaki was born in new york. some people have two parents, some one, some none. tamaki is lucky enough to say he has three. his parents split up before his mother knew she was pregnant but by the time he was on the way she was already falling hard for another woman. it mightve been awkward for them trying to find a good and stable dynamic amongst themselves but they found a way to make it work for maki and his older sister. (yes i stole this from friends shhh) 
his father was always in the picture, but Maki lived with his mothers and sister. it was such a fun and nurturing home that allowed him to stay well in tune with his emotions. there was never anything he was denied. and his curiosities weren’t met with distaste or disapproval- not even when his mothers caught him trying on their dresses and heels. he just wanted to feel and look as pretty as they did when they wore them. 
his interests were always encouraged. and while he was never good at basketball or soccer, he thrived in other categories such as taekwondo and playing the piano and guitar. but he also wanted to do everything his older sister did and so his mothers signed him up for ballet just like her. he had a knack for it and frankly he loved it most above all his other activities. 
his love for ballet exposed him to other dance styles as well. and while he felt like college was his best bet for a secure future- he was also one to always follow his heart and desires. he wanted to be on stage and dance and sing for others. he wanted to engage with a world of music and performing. 
with the support of his family and friends, tamaki flew solo to south korea to pursue his dream of becoming an idol. he knew it’d be tough going to a country where he didnt know the language or the culture, but he also knew he’d always regret not following his dreams if he didnt try now when he was still young enough. 
finding a company to take him was tough, but the real hard work began once training began. on top of training and practicing, he was also trying to learn a whole new language. and everyone around him was the competition, meaning help wasn’t often offered. everyone was looking out for themselves and he understood that. only meant he had to work that much harder. 
however, it wasnt all for naught. the day finally came when he was chosen for the newest boy group Indigo, and as their main dancer no less.
the little things
tamaki skipped a grade and graduated high school early. he was always such a little smarty pants. his favorite subject was math smh
he has quite the collection of medals in taewondo
apart from english and japanese he knows a few other languages. one of his mothers is mexican/italian and therefore taught him spanish and italian growing up. and one of his best friends was hard of hearing so he learned american sign language for them. and since trainee days hes become quite good at the korean language as well though he still gets some things confused sometimes.
small side note!! K has like no resources. ive tried making a few gifs but there really isnt much out there for him. so please bear with me while i try finding resources. if it becomes a problem not using gifs then i will be happy to switch fcs but for now i love K’s face and will like to try giving him a shot because he’s who i see working best for maki. thanks for understanding <3

The odd one out
 The black sheep in a herd full of white ones is the common illustration of differences between groups. It may have been because of its morphological characteristics that makes it easier to identify, or something else. Have you ever felt different from others? Throughout your life, have you been the white sheep or the black sheep?
I am the eldest daughter of my parents, the 3rd born girl in our clan. My cousin's age gaps weren't that far. We were able to bond well with others, talk about some "girl things" and much more. Honestly, I love them so much and I am thankful for having them in my life, and even though we're already distant to each other I can still feel the respect we have to one another.
We had our own strengths and weaknesses, it's easy to determine that I'm not that much of a smarty pants as they are, but I do excel in my studies too — not just that high as them. I am very much proud of what they accomplish in their life, and so are they in mine, yet I always felt like I wasn't in the right pack.
My mother, who's an overall achiever didn't hide that fact that she was too proud of them, it wasn't much of a big deal — I thought. Yet the stance she pulled was too much to bear, she went up to the stage to give them a medal, which she wasn't able to do to me. She posted my cousin's achievements, where again, she wasn't able to do it for me.
It was a cry of a neglected child, yearning for the treatment she never received. I said to myself, we never had a relationship to begin with, she never asked how I was nor asked for an update on how I was. Don't get me wrong, she provided me with everything I needed and wanted, yet the emotional support that I craved from them — it wasn't sustained.
I cried my heart out, day by day asking if I can have the same treatment she had given them, yet no amount of prayers nor wishes can make that into a reality. Maybe I haven't prayed enough, maybe I haven't trusted God enough, on the long run, I got tired of asking for it, maybe I should start again? And again. With God anything is possible right? I'll hold on to that
As I write this, I am still a college student, trying my very best to excel in a course I haven't picked for myself, trying to start a new beginning, and plant a new hope.

It's 7:40 a.m. I'm in pain and I'm about to get real pissed off
Tumblr media
Every time I see shit like- "12 year old graduates college" or anything about a kid younger than me being gifted or considered some fucking prodigy, it makes me so mad.
Violent mad.
Thanks for reminding me that I'm dumber than a fucking 12 year old.
That is the only time that I dislike children.
When they're better than me.
[But Shiba, you should want good things like that for them!]
Man! Fuck them kids! Where the hell was my praise for all my hard work, hm????
Why's that little shit in college at 12???
Why's that a kid prodigy?
It's just a fucking kid who would die just as easily in this world as any other small child!
That's not a fucking prodigy! That's a little ass kid who's only good for academics and nothing more!
Oh and all you other kids from other countries that happen to also be smarter than me because your schools actually give a damn about you, FUCK YOU AS WELL!
BASICALLY ANY NON-AMERICAN WITH AN EDUCATION, CAUSE I KNOW ALL OF YOU GOT ONE!
Fuck you.
I see you talking about "The American school curriculum is EASY"
GOOD FOR FUCKING YOU!
GREAT JOB SMARTY PANTS! YOU WANT A GOLD FUCKING MEDAL FOR THAT ONE???
YOU CAN DO A COUPLE OF MATH PROBLEMS! HORRAY! YOU DON'T USE CERTAIN KINDS OF MEASUREMENTS SO YOU MAKE FUN OF ME FOR USING THE MEASUREMENTS THAT ARE THE ONLY ONES I WAS TAUGHT AS IF I CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!
YOU'RE SO FUCKING SMART!!
YOU LEARNED QUANTUM PHYSICS IN KINDERGARTEN!! HORRAY!! YOU'RE SMARTER THAN ME!!
GREAT FUCKING JOB!
THE ADULTS IN YOUR SCHOOLS GAVE A FUCK!
WOW!
Oh, and back to you child prodigies and gifted kids.
Let's see how well you do in a survival situation, since you're such a fucking prodigy.
Since society has such high expectations for you.

GOP Prez Race Loses Fatties: Only Skinny Hopefuls Left to Wrestle Trumpasaurus!
Tumblr media
Yo, listen up! The GOP’s mega rumble for top dog in 2024 just got less squished, with a bunch of wannabe presidents peacing out. Now it's just a few tough cookies left to take on the big, bad Trumpasaurus. But peeps are all, "Yo, is it too late to find some other dude or dudette to wear the big elephant crown?" Stay tuned to see if the GOP can dig up a champ to go head-to-head with the Don! Alright, folks, let's talk about this whole kerfuffle with the Republican candidates trying to be the head honcho for 2024. It's like watching a bunch of muscle-bound dudes at the gym trying to one-up each other by lifting heavier weights, except these weights are states like Iowa and New Hampshire, and the muscles? Well, those are the votes and endorsements they're trying to flex. So, Senator Tim Scott decided to take his ball and go home, which was a total shocker to his crew. Maybe the game got too rough, or the other players were hogging the ball, but either way, he's out. Now, it's like a royal rumble with Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis duking it out for the silver medal, 'cause let's be real, Trump's sitting pretty with the gold around his neck, at least for now. Haley's getting some big bucks thrown her way, with billionaire Stanley Druckenmillier backing her up. She's betting big on ads, hoping to spread her name like wildfire. Meanwhile, DeSantis is buddying up with the folks in Iowa, talking about how he doesn't like the same things they don't like, and scoring points with Governor Kim Reynolds. It's like a tag team forming right before the big match. But here's the kicker: while Haley and DeSantis are busy throwing jabs at each other, Trump's in the corner, chomping on popcorn, and loving the show. His team is even tossing out some zingers, calling Haley "Birdbrain" and DeSantis "DeSanctimonious," like they're trying out for a schoolyard insult contest. Now, some smarty-pants out there are saying that this whole scuffle could get nastier once it's just one of them against Trump. It's like when there's only one slice of pizza left, and everyone's too polite to take it, but you know deep down it's gonna cause a brawl. And let's not forget the folks still hanging on by a thread, hoping for a miracle or just enjoying the ride. It's like they didn't get the memo that the party’s over. But hey, you gotta give 'em points for sticking it out. So, what's the game plan for the Republicans? They're trying to figure out who's going to be the champ to take on the big T, but it's a slippery slope, and there's a lot of mudslinging to come. It's like they need to pick the best player for the team, but everyone wants to be the quarterback. In the end, it's all about who can charm the crowd, who's got the best one-liners, and who can dodge the mud the best. Politics, am I right? It's a wild ride, and we're all just here for the entertainment. Stay tuned, 'cause this show's just getting started. SAUCE: The 2024 Republican presidential field is rapidly shrinking. But is it too late to stop Trump? https://apnews.com/article/scott-haley-desantis-trump-republican-president-iowa-c64fa9a5e8ffc0694331d7d148aac5c1 Read the full article

Tumblr media
At the age of thirteen you had discovered that love, or rather what adults used to call love, because you barely knew what those four letters meant, doesn't always bring you happiness. Jason Filton had sent you a note in the middle of Biology class informing you that you were no longer dating and that his new girlfriend was Sarah Rickman. After reading it, you threw the paper over his head as hard as you could, making all your classmates laugh and you ended up in the headmaster's office. At that moment you decided that love was rubbish, as well as everything else that had to do with it, so you chose to dedicate your life to more important things, such as your studies, and that's how you got a place in one of the best universities in the country.
For the first two years of aeronautical engineering you abhorred any distraction that would make you lose track of your own path. No parties, no conversations of more than ten minutes with anyone that weren't helpful to your future, no going home for holidays, it was all a waste of time that tended to break up your daily routine. Your university lifestyle tended to be unconventional, and unconventional didn't tend to go unnoticed in those places, and it didn't help that you were a year ahead of everyone else and your grades were above average. It seemed that everything stood in your way, but you used to overcome obstacles with great ability, you didn't let anything get to you, especially coming from society.
In the third year things changed, you were offered the possibility of taking two parallel degrees, as many subjects were validated, there was no evidence that you accepted, so in your weekly planning began to appear subjects of mechanical engineering. At no point did it ever occur to you that this choice would bring with it some murky consequences that you did not have in mind. A smarty-pants is not always well accepted in a class when there is already a person who occupies that position, there he was, the cause of all your future ills during the university year ahead, Tony Stark.
It's not that you hadn't competed with people like this before, well, you'd never really come across someone like this before, he was worthy of analysis, one of a kind, any student of psychology or even anthropology would be willing to do a doctorate on him. Although he obviously wouldn't come out of that research alive.
A week after attending those classes, you discovered that he was the same age as you, so he was also advanced in Mechanical Engineering, but the most surprising thing was that he already had a PhD in Physics, which made you wonder what you were doing wrong. Even so, the most curious thing is that he hardly paid any attention in class, he spent the whole time chatting amicably with his colleagues in the back row, but every time he was asked he answered the professor's questions correctly and wittily. He was a scholar, and that got on your nerves, although it was easy for you to hide it.
You avoided getting in his way at all times, but it was very easy for him to do so whenever you were in class, and one point in your favour was that when classes were over you used to lock yourself in your bedroom, and you were lucky that your classmate hardly ever came around, so those 15 square metres were all for you. But even so, the biggest drawback of your third year was not the competition with Tony Stark, it was someone else, James Barton.
James was a boy who shared some Mechanical Engineering classes with you, he was a year older than you and it was more than evident that he was a real inconvenience, because from the first day you entered the Micro/Nano Engineering Laboratory and he sat next to you, you knew you were in serious trouble. You felt the same as when Jason Filton at the beginning of eighth grade invited you for an ice cream in the cafeteria, that's right, that was the closest thing to love you had ever felt, that's why you knew you were in serious trouble.
During the first few months there were no clear developments, mostly because you never noticed any interest on his part. In your case, you hid with all your might the excitement you felt every time Tuesday morning came and you had to share a lab with him, the last thing you wanted was to look like a desperate high school teenager every time you saw him. But by magic, or perhaps fate, things gave you an incentive for your relationship as classmates to evolve.
Apparently James had been down with the flu for a week, so he was unable to attend class that Tuesday, it was obvious to you from the first moment you saw his empty seat. Therefore, Mr. Gregory thought it appropriate, since you always sat next to him, that you could bring him the material he had offered during that class. You were grateful that he thought there was at least a friendship between the two of you, it was an incipient one for you. You were a little reluctant at first, mostly because you didn't think it was appropriate to introduce yourself to him in his dormitory when you had barely spoken a word to each other beyond a morning greeting and a goodbye when you left class, but you chose to accept it as a personal challenge.
It was not complex to find out which dorm you were staying in, nor to find out which room you were in, the complexity was in making proper social conversation, as your social skills were far from what any young person could wish for. Nor did the male gazes cast upon you as you entered the building and began to walk down those corridors to the third floor help, you didn't know if you were in a dorm, a circus or a petting zoo. It made you wonder how those people had managed to get a place at MIT.
You positioned yourself in front of the wooden door with a set of papers and notes from Mr. Gregory's class in your hands, replaying over and over in your mind how you could start an ordinary conversation, but before you could knock on the door someone behind you thought you needed help so with his knuckles he rapped on the wood.
"If you don't knock no one will open the door," said a boy flashing you a friendly smile, perhaps the first you had ever seen in that place, as he continued on his way.
"Come in!" exclaimed a voice behind that door, you knew at that moment it was James.
Taking a breath you slowly rested your hand on the doorknob and turned it slightly, leaving only a small gap to put your head through.
"I'm sorry," you began, "I don't mean to intrude. I'm just dropping off the notes and materials Mr. Gregory gave in class today. He thought they might come in handy for next week's class."
James was lying on the bed, you found that the atmosphere was a little heavy with sweat mixed with his particular scent with hints of cinnamon, but the moment he discovered who his visitor was he sat up and started to pick up some tissues that were scattered on the sheets.
"God... I'm sorry, this is a mess," he said, taking the wastepaper basket in his hands and stuffing everything he could find into it, his tone totally congested.
"No, don't worry about it," you added quickly, stepping into the room. "Don't mind me, I was just coming to bring you the notes and I was just leaving."
"I'm sorry," he repeated, collapsing back onto the bed from flu-like exhaustion.
"That's all right," you gave him a small smile and put the material you had brought on the desk nearest his bed. "I guess you'll understand everything, but if you don't understand anything or need anything at all you can tell me."
"Thank you very much," he said leaning back against the wall, "I appreciate it."
You nodded smiling at him, thankful that the situation hadn't been too complicated, at least so far, so you decided not to push your luck and head for the door.
"Wait," he exclaimed as best he could behind you, causing your footsteps to stop and you to turn back to him. "Would you like to go out for a drink sometime?"
During those moments you were trying to process his request to buy you a drink the dormitory door opened with a thunderous bang against the wall, bringing you face to face with your beloved Mechanical Engineering partner.
"Oops, sorry, am I interrupting something?" he said curiously, contemplating you both gradually.
"Could you not give those bumps every time you come in?" complained James almost incomprehensibly due to congestion.
"Sure mate," having said that he gingerly closed up and walked over to his bed, picked up a book, lay down and pretended to browse through it.
"So?" James looked back up at you waiting for an answer.
It had all happened so fast that your mind had not yet come to terms with the situation, but all you had to do was say "sure", "yes, I'd love to" or "of course, that would be fine", but you only managed to nod with a small smile.
"That's a yes?" he asked trying to clarify your intentions.
"Sure," you managed to say between nods, which managed to extract a smile from your partner. "So... I'll see you next week in class. I hope you get better."
To your surprise you had overcome that personal challenge with great talent, you knew that if your sister were present she would award you the medal for bravery, not only for having talked to a boy, but for having managed to get a possible future date with great elegance, and without hardly expecting it. But what you didn't realise, or at least not until first thing on Wednesday morning, was that you were in for some curious comments from your opponent about the previous day's events.
"So you're going out with Barton," he said almost before he sat down behind you. "I thought your social life was limited to striking up a conversation with the lady at the post office one Sunday a month."
Over time you had learned that the best thing you could do was to ignore that annoying little voice that sat behind you every Wednesday and tried to interrupt you every time you were offering an explanation during class. It was the best way you had found to get through those first few months with him.
But it wasn't all that simple, especially when you and James started a friendship that developed into something a little more serious just before the Christmas holidays. Like any other relationship where two people are attracted to each other the search for intimacy is normal and ordinary, during the third year of university you were lucky that your roommate was practically a ghost and you found the best place to have your own intimacy, because obviously you didn't know why Tony Stark was always in his bedroom, and when he wasn't he used to appear at the most inopportune moments, and worst of all without knocking.
"Are you crazy?" you exclaimed, hiding under the covers. "Don't you know how to knock?!"
"Oh, come on! It's nothing I haven't seen before," he said throwing himself on his bed. "Don't worry about me, I don't care."
At those moments you didn't know whether to get up and cross his face or just not show up there anymore, because things didn't stop there, he used to drag out the subject at hand and make inappropriate comments to you in class, such as "I hope you used protection" or "you forgot your bra" or "if you need any advice you know you can ask me for it". It was quite frustrating, because there was little you could do about it, just ignore him or else he would come over the top.
Apart from that everything seemed to work perfectly with James, or at least that's what it seemed to you, the two months that you had been together things were coming together without forcing them, you met every now and then to go out to eat, you took advantage of the moments you were alone to study and sometimes things generated moments of intimacy, it was the closest thing you had had to a love relationship, although your experience was very basic in that matter in question. So basic that you barely understood a lot of things and you could be very naive about anything to do with social relationships.
Discussions started to become your daily routine, they all came hand in hand because of your clashing characters, he used to have a very evolved social life, three times a week, he even skipped some classes because of the hangover that the night before he had self-inflicted, although you accepted his lifestyle, you didn't share it at all and his constant initiatives to integrate you in his environment didn't usually turn out as he expected. So a constant back and forth ensued from then on, which brought out a character you didn't like.
You began to hear rumours, which you tried to avoid, so as not to get caught in the net. These rumours ranged from whether James had hooked up with Nancy Skelton the night before to whether he had taken her to his room. So every time you sought an explanation he seemed to find himself sufficiently unwilling to offer one. The same thing happened on Valentine's Day.
You had been ignoring the rumours that were torpedoing your ears for two weeks, James had sworn and swore to you that nothing that was going around the halls of the college was true, that he hadn't done anything with anyone at the frat party. You, like an innocent fool, accepted his words, letting yourself be carried away by those green eyes that knew how to make your legs tremble. So that meant that the Valentine's dinner was still on. It was the first time you had bought a dress for a special occasion on your own, you didn't choose to take risks, black was always welcome and straps too, although you really did take risks with the neckline, and with the reddish lipstick. In short, you wanted me to discover that you could also become Nancy Skelton for a night, but apparently I didn't feel like checking it out. You waited for twenty minutes in your room for him to come and get you, but you thought something must have happened, so you headed off to find out for yourself.
Again, as if you were in a circus attraction, and you were the main attraction, you rushed through the corridors of the male dorm with whistles, sexist comments and cheers behind you. It was Thursday night, which meant that the party had started early that evening and most of them had traded blood for alcohol. You knocked on the door, waited a few seconds but no one answered, knocked again, but the case was ignored so you tried to turn the doorknob, but to your surprise the room was locked.
"What the hell?" you asked yourself.
Totally confused you look at your wristwatch, expecting to have got the time wrong, but no, it was 8:35 p.m. just thirty-five minutes later than you had arranged. You stood there for a couple of minutes waiting for him to appear out of nowhere, but the most you could find was one of his mates running past you in his underwear.
"Hey! Do you know where James Barton is?" you exclaimed trying to find an answer.
"In the common room!" he shouted without turning to look at you.
Looking like a complete idiot for not having considered that fact you walked back through the hallway in embarrassment in the direction of the common room, from where laughter, shouting and anything else that involved a group of boys with beer bottles around them was emanating. When you appeared through the door frame there was little time for your presence to be noticed.
"What have we got here?!"
"Oh my god, is this my birthday present?"
"Shut your mouths you idiots!" James stood up from his seat and walked towards you, with a subtle wobble in his body and his eyes completely rolled back in his head. "Is it time already?"
"It's actually been forty minutes," your arms were still crossed preventing his body from approaching yours. You could smell the stench of beer all over him, even his shirt was stained with a few drops.
"All right, all right," he said abandoning the bottle on a bookshelf. "Let's go."
Unable to hold on, and under the watchful eyes and laughter of his companions he offered you his arm, but lost his balance and fell to the ground, right at your feet. You took a deep breath and began to let it out very slowly, but you barely flinched, you couldn't believe what was happening to you at that moment. James tried to get up as best he could and stood back up in front of you, pulling his shirt back on.
"Come on," he made a second attempt.
"No, no James," you said in the most serious tone you could rescue from your broken insides. "I'm not going anywhere with you. But you know what, I bought a dress, shaved my legs, and put makeup on. I refuse to be stood up. So I'm going to take advantage of the reserve we have." You uncrossed your arms for the first time and pointed your finger at him. "Ah! And in case you haven't made it clear, it's over between us."
The cheers went up like you'd just scored a touchdown in the middle of the national finals, but you just kept your composure and got out of the place as quickly as possible. You were so pissed off about the situation, as well as yourself, that you felt the sting running through your veins. You asked yourself over and over again how you had been so stupid as to get into this situation, you, but you couldn't find a coherent answer. You assumed that smoke must be billowing from your head as you cut your way through the labyrinthine corridors to get out of the building as quickly as possible, but just around the corner the one person who could complicate things appeared.
"Hey!" he exclaimed behind you, picking up his pace and coming up beside you. "I was thinking, why go to dinner alone when you can have good company?"
You turned your head to the right, flashing him the most incoherently terrified look you could extract from yourself at the moment, but Tony didn't seem to care enough because even that didn't stop his grin from being wiped off his face.
"Are you kidding me?" your footsteps were rather light. "Oh, of course not! Do you really think I'll accept you coming to dinner with me?"
"Do you have someone better to go with?" his arrogance was pushing you over the edge.
"Of course! Me, alone," you said walking down the steps of the dorm and stepping outside.
"Really, by yourself on the most romantic night of the year, in a small Bistro in downtown Boston?" he said without breaking away from you. "That sounds really sad," he paused. "Do you have a car?"
"Welcome to the world, I don't need a man to go out to dinner whenever I feel like it and there are taxis," you walked as if you were going to miss the train of your life.
"Alright!" Tony definitely seemed to give up and fall in behind you, "See ya!"
You were so upset at the time that the only thing on your mind was to head for the campus taxi rank, and so you did. You were lucky that there were a couple of taxis waiting, so it didn't take you more than fifteen minutes to get to the door of the Bistro, located in the centre of Boston. The place was really charming to anyone's eyes, its round tables were perfectly placed to offer a cosy dinner to any of its diners. The candles offered that romantic air that anyone could want on that night of the year, and the aroma of traditional dishes was wafting from inside, whetting anyone's appetite.
You looked outside through the glass windows to see the couples who seemed to be enjoying a really lovely evening, it was at that moment that your spirited idea seemed to wane, for now it didn't seem to make much sense to go inside and dine completely alone under the watchful eyes of the waiters who wondered what had happened to put you in such a situation. The metre who stood at the door waiting to receive his customers watched you, for you were only a few feet away from him.
"Do you wish to wait inside, miss?" he asked with a pleasant smile.
"No, I..." you shook your head as if to leave.
"I'm here baby," a hand took hold of your waist. "Sorry it took me so long, it's impossible to park in this area."
As you heard that voice and felt that hand on your waist you knew immediately who it was, caramel coloured eyes accompanied by a wide smile were looking at you right next to you, you were about to give him a push if it wasn't for the fact that that metre opened the access door to the place and the last thing you wanted was to make a scene in the middle of the street.
"Did you have a reservation?" asked the waiter, checking the list.
"Yes, under the name of James Barton," said Tony, barely letting you speak.
"By all means, follow me," he began walking among the diners arriving at a small round table just outside the window, where he didn't take a second to light the candle that adorned the table. "Will you have something to drink in the meantime?"
"Yes, what wine do you recommend?" his way of waving his hand embarrassed you, he seemed to want to pretend to be knowledgeable.
"Oh, we have a Château Montrose, which goes perfectly with the meat tastings," he informed her.
"Perfect," nodded Tony, opening the menu.
As quickly as the waiter left, your attitude changed, expressing all your feelings with your face.
"Are you crazy?" you whispered, leaning towards him so that no one else could hear you. "Do you have any idea what that wine might be worth? But more importantly, what the hell are you doing? What are you doing here? What is this?"
"Oh come on, you know if I hadn't come you'd be back in college right now, don't you?" he cocked his head to the side and smiled at you, "Besides, the wine and dinner is on me, just enjoy the night."
"Enjoy the night? With you? Really?" you frowned, it was unbelievable to you that this was happening, but at least he'd had the courtesy to ditch those rock band t-shirts he used to wear and that messy hair, he'd shown up in a white shirt and black peg trousers.
The wine soon arrived and you'd be lying if you said it didn't help the dinner go more smoothly, allowing you to chat like two normal people. You found it hard to let go of that stubborn attitude you have inside you, but when you managed to put it aside you came to discover that Tony could be a lot of fun, even if he didn't share your sense of humour. You spent two hours discovering similarities in each other and also many differences, but it was a fruitful conversation, for the candle that lit the centre of your table was gone. You surprised yourself by observing more than once the features of his face, his honey-coloured hazel eyes, his upturned nose, his full lips and the way he smiled that seemed to bring out your colours every time he did it. But you blamed it all on the bottle of wine you had finished between the two of you.
When they brought the bill he barely allowed you to look at it, as he deposited his american express and smiled proudly at you.
"How about now...?"
"Shall we go back to campus?" you cut him off by stepping outside with a smile you couldn't keep off your face and pink cheeks.
"Well, actually, I was thinking..."
"I'm exhausted," you cut him off again, draping your jacket over your shoulders. "Besides, we have a class first thing in the morning."
" Okay!" he exclaimed in a melodious tone shoving his hands into his pockets. "Then we'll go back to campus."
In three minutes you found yourself sitting inside a red Porsche, which was going at a speed well above what you were used to. From the speakers came the sound of the Australian rock band AC/DC, but without knowing why Tony stopped the music.
"What's wrong?" you asked looking at him quizzically.
"I thought you didn't like it," he shrugged. "You were very quiet."
"First of all, I was listening, I like it," you began, "and secondly, in case I didn't like it you don't have to indulge me, this isn't a date, or anything like that."
"All right," he gave a half-smile and turned the music back on. "So this isn't a date..."
You smiled quizzically at his last words, trying to assume that it had been the alcohol that had given you that little smile and not your subconscious that seemed rather pleased by the last two hours you had spent together. During the drive you couldn't help but laugh when you discovered his imitations of Angus Young, the lead guitarist of the band you were listening to. But the situation changed when the Porsche pulled up right in front of your dorm, but before you had even taken off your seatbelt your door was open and Tony's hand was waiting to help you out.
"Thank you..." you whispered a little reluctantly. "Oh, you don't need to come with me, I think it's rather late, so I'd better..."
" Okay," he nodded smiling, again that wry smile that you knew was going to cause you to either want to come along or not.
"Alright," you said giving up and walking towards the inside of the building. "Don't even think about making a sound."
"Please, I'm all grave," he said behind you as you walked up the stairs, but he didn't keep his word as a stumble caused the sound to bounce all over the stairwell.
"Tony..." you reproached him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he raised his hands in his defence.
Within a minute you had reached the door leading to your room and the awkward moment of saying goodbye was upon you, face to face.
"Okay, well... I guess thank you very much for... dinner and for walking me to the door," you nodded without knowing why in a slightly nervous tone.
"It's been my pleasure," he bowed, his voice sounding utterly confident, the opposite of yours.
"Great... so, I'll see you in class tomorrow," you rummaged through your bag to find your room key and when you had it in your hand and looked back up at him you discovered Tony's gesture biting his bottom lip, so your mouth let out, "or maybe..."
Why the hell had you blurted out those three words, 'Or maybe...' 'Or maybe what?' Your unconscious was working and coming alive in you, your inner self was saying that you didn't want to part with him so soon and that you couldn't wait for him to come into the room with you.
"Or maybe?" a half-smile came to life on his face, showing you part of his tongue running subtly across his upper lip that made your heart race. But finding that you didn't know what to say in that instant, he added, "Are you inviting me in?"
"I..." you looked a little hesitant, but found the courage to face the situation, "Only if... you feel like it."
There was a few moments of silence in which your wives seemed to be electrified.
"All right, but first I think you should know something," he added, breaking the moment of sexual tension that had built up. "The James rumours are true. I caught him and Nancy in our bedroom," he paused and tucked back a strand of hair that had come loose. "I should have told you before."
Why did you feel as if you knew deep down that this event was true? Maybe because it only took you three months of being with James to find out what he was really like, a total prick. But the funny thing is that when you took in those words, the sexual tension returned, making you forget everything he'd told you.
"Okay," you nodded with a blank stare, "So does that mean you don't want to come in?"
Again he made that arrogant smile present again that even as he brought his face close to yours to catch your lips did not disappear. He wrapped his arms tightly around your waist, crushing your body against the wooden door, preventing you from escaping from that place if you were planning to do so. It was really infuriating, to have his lips between yours and still feel the need to have him closer. You were so lost that the key slipped from your fingers, catching Tony's attention and he opted to pull away from you and bend down for it, you hated those seconds, but instantly you discovered his hands roaming the nakedness of your legs along with his lips rediscovering that new area.
"Come on Tony," you begged, resting your hand on the doorknob so as not to give in to his touch as it slowly crept up your thighs. "Open the door."
With a small nibble on the inside of your left thigh he pulled himself back up to your height to force your lips together as he tried his best to open the door as best he could in the dark. You felt the door offer you passage into a room dimly lit by the moonlight coming through the window. Tony closed the door behind you regardless of the noise he made in doing so.
" Damn it, Tony," you said, pulling away from him.
He took the opportunity to pull your dress up to your waist and wrap your legs around his waist to direct you towards your bed. The position is really intimate, but your head wasn't in the right place to dwell on it at the moment, there was practically nothing romantic about what was happening or what was going to happen in a few minutes. During the ride you opted to get rid of the black dress that seemed to be burning your skin by dropping it to the floor, revealing your naked body only covered by a pair of black panties.
"Shit. Cupid just shot me in the ass with an arrow!" he exclaimed finding his gaze at the level of your breasts.
Tony's body collapsed on the mattress, unable to take his eyes off your body, he maintained an upright, seated position, straddling him. Your gazes connected, in your eyes there was nothing but tension and lust, the passion of two young university students who needed to let off steam as soon as possible. However, inside you both hid a sense of nervousness that you kept from coming out.
Although you'd had sex with James before, you weren't exactly an expert on the subject, but something inside you was working, making it seem like you had no problem with it. In Tony's case you had heard things, but you didn't know how much of it was true or not. Still, Tony's kisses trailing his mouth down your neck were methodical, the way he brushed his tongue, bit into your neck and finished by pressing a soft kiss seemed to transport you to paradise, just as it did him, as you could see it in the hardness forming between your folds. A moan escaped your lips causing your hips to move gently to feel more firmly what was hidden in his trousers.
"Oh, god, do that again," Tony uttered against your ear in a completely gnawed tone of voice.
As if it was a command you were incapable of refusing, you did it again. His hands gripped your thighs firmly and his lips lingered on your breasts for the first time, brushing his lower lip over your right nipple, letting his intense breathing fan it. Your back arched bringing your breasts closer against his mouth, likewise your fingers found themselves stirring his hair. Tony simply played with his tongue against you offering equal attention to both breasts, making sure it was pleasurable, and he assumed he was succeeding thanks to the sounds coming from inside you.
Your hips kept making circular motions pressing against him trying to relieve the need that had built up in your core. Tony seemed to feel the same need so he parted his lips from your breasts and made a sudden movement grabbing your waist and trying to flip you over on the bed, trying because in the process he caused your head to hit the bedside table next to the mattress.
"Shit!" he exclaimed with a surprised look on his face, but your reaction generating a giggle in you, calmed him down expressing a smile. "I'm sorry, baby."
"It's okay," you say finally taking the position he wanted, lying down on the bed and finding Tony's body on top of yours.
You feel his lips moving over your skin again as he undoes his shirt, uncovering every part of his back with your fingertips. Your whole body was being a mess, the path of his tongue was heading south, his fingertips formed circles around your navel and his mouth had a clear direction, you felt it when his fingers brushed the top of your panties. All you could do was keep your eyes closed with your head on the pillow, bite your lower lip to stop the curses coming from inside you and press your legs against each other.
"Open your legs," he whispered against your skin and then placed a kiss on your lower belly, making all your nerves want to explode. "I'll be gentle, promise."
You feel those words crash against your skin, and as if they were a switch they are able to make your legs open subtly giving way to the fabric of your underwear sliding down your thighs. Tony decides to take his time until he manages to extract them through your feet as he doesn't take his eyes off your completely naked body exposed before him. He slid his fingers around the inside of your legs to again run his lips up and down them so that his hands were free to free himself from your trousers.
"Do you have...?" he asked moving his kisses up your thighs.
"What...?" the word almost came as a plea from your lips.
"Condoms," he said against your skin.
Something in your brain clicked, bringing you back to consciousness in those moments, you lifted your head off the pillow and looked directly into Tony's eyes that were practically over your core in those moments.
"Are you telling me you don't have any condoms?" you asked with a frown, a little gruff at the situation you were in.
"Well, I wasn't really planning on ending the night like this," he lifted his face with a smile from between your thighs, but as he watched your head fall frustratingly against the pillow he added, "Okay honey, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
As quickly as he uttered those words he managed to get your lower limbs onto his shoulders, meeting again between your thighs. That was the first time you discovered what lips on your clitoris felt like. Your frustration was fully replaced by pleasure, a pleasure that made every part of your body tremble. You really didn't know how you could have missed this for so long. Your hands were fixed on either side of your body gripping the sheet tightly, but there came a point when you couldn't let him pull away from you, so you curled your fingers in his hair. Right now you had Tony Stark kissing and licking your most intimate part and all you could think about was that his movements wouldn't stop.
"Please... Don't stop," you urged between moans, feeling two fingers thrust inside you at your words.
You find yourself in complete disbelief, you're a mess, and you can't help but open your eyes and look at the one causing the disaster, who just like you was a complete mess against your intimacy. That action, along with the speed of his movements inside you and his moans against you, causes all your senses to connect and decide that the time has come to explode. You drop your head back down onto the pillow, arching your back in an attempt to establish a closer connection with him. You're exhaling, screaming his name between your moans without thinking about who might hear you. He continues to consume you, sucking you in as he brings you to full orgasm. Your limbs slowly manage to steady their movements, until the euphoria inside you ends with a soft moan.
Tony subtly withdraws his fingers from inside you as he leaves his wet kisses around your thighs, searching for your gaze amidst the mess of sheets that existed around you at that moment. He finds himself climbing up your body, kissing every part of it gently until he reaches your face where he catches your lower lip between his teeth.
"I told you, I'll take care of everything," he added with a half-smile. "And I think I've managed to exceed expectations."
"It's possible," you kissed him again finding your breathing much calmer. "That means it's my turn now."
With more skill than he did, you were able to get his body underneath yours in an instant, causing his tongue to come out and lick his upper lip. It was obvious that he was tremendously proud of the job he had just done, thanks to how well you had let him know with your facial and guttural expressions. But now it was your moment, discovering that your needs had not yet been fully satisfied and that you had a burning need inside you to feel him in you. Your kisses moved from his lips to his neck, taking on the taste of his perfume. You exerted just enough pressure with your teeth to profess from his throat his sweet gasps that were filling you with madness.
The path of your kisses was present on his chest, which rose and fell because of his accelerated breathing. He was soft, sweat was present on him from the previous exertion, but you hardly thought that fact mattered to you. Your tongue had reached his lower abdomen with great skill, the evidence of which was that Tony had chosen to lose eye contact with your actions and now looked a complete mess biting his knuckles. If it had been any other time you would have enjoyed the scene in front of your eyes causing him to beg, but he had been so good to you and you were so eager to kiss what was hidden by his briefs that you wasted little time in sliding the fabric down his thighs and releasing his erection.
You had been in that situation only once before in your life, so you opted for a marked subtlety in bringing your lips to his tip and licking it clean of his pre-cum. Luckily for you the noises coming from Tony were a map for your movements. you just start by testing the ground, tasting it, feeling it deep in your throat.
"Don't stop, whatever you do. I like that, a lot," his hand wrapped through the strands of your hair as his gaze focused on you.
Those words ignite your movements, you circle his shaft with one hand, accompanying the movements, you find that it intensifies his panting and generates a slight movement in his hips that causes him to thrust his erection deeper against your throat. You bring your free hand to his hips instilling a show of confidence and acceptance of his thrusts, which causes Tony to increase his speed.
"Shit, I'm so close, keep going -," his frantic tone could barely finish the sentence.
You felt the hand disappear from your head allowing you to withdraw right then and there, but his desperation was also shared by you, and just as you had orgasmed against his lips as you couldn't hold him inside you wanted to feel him as much as possible. Throbbing moments later inside your throat, accompanied by curses accompanied by your name coming from inside Tony. His hand returned to its proper place, dropping subtly to your head, enticing you to follow his movements.
Your lewd movements stopped over time as you noticed his limbs returning to their normal function and his breathing resumed its normal rhythm. You withdrew, offering her a soft kiss on the tip, and connected your gaze with hers, which strangely seemed a little embarrassed.
"I hope the walls are thick," you commented with an arched eyebrow.
He merely took in your smiling face and intertwined his fingers with yours to bring you closer to his height. He placed your bodies sideways, intertwining your legs, and with his fingertips he wiped the droplets of saliva from around your lips.
"So... would you say I've exceeded expectations too?" you asked, caressing his bare arms.
"I don't know," he said hesitantly. "I need more than one round to find out."
His half-smile lifted again, in no doubt that that had been the best sexual experience he'd had to date, because not all rumours are true.

Hi there!! I wanna take part in your exchange reading!!
I choose the questions- how will you meet your fs and your first impressions of them!!💖
So here's your reading!!🍒💕
How will you meet them!!
Its like you have hoped to meet them for a long time. It's a wish upon a star. You will meet them when you are healing from your past addictions of some sort. Healing past patterns and cycles. They might be your friend or child hood friend too. They could be someone from your past. You have kind of manifested this person in your life. Do you have an Aquarius Venus or 7th house. Or Venus in air houses. It's that kind of vibes. You will have a string friendship with your fs and they will be like a best friend to you. You will meet them after creating some sort of balance in your life. You will meet them after getting out of some sort control or a controlling environment. Something that wasn't healthy and something that was addictive. That's when your future spouse will find its way to you. When you take a leap of faith or just start going with the flow in life while having faith in the universe too. Maybe somewhere near water.
🍒Your first impressions of them!!🍒
Again it feels like a childhood friend of yours!! This is so cute. And if not then, you will see them as charismatic, charismatic, childlike and bubbly. They seem as someone who is very satisfied with what they have in life. They are emotionally aware and also very nurturing. They is the more sensitive and soft side of earth element that they possess. A very feminine vibe to them. Like they are intune with their emotions and they have a lot of faith in life. They are some who loves to party and meet people. They jolly and happy vibes. They are very carefree and you will see them that way. Overall someone who is exited about life and someone you feel comfortable around. I feel like you already know them. Or they have been in your life for a very long time.
I hope this resonates with you!!💖
My Sun sign is Aquarius. And initials- Aashi 🌻, loves her phone, quiet, curly hair. Taurus Rising, Cancer Moon 🌙, loves talking to the moon, loves Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift and V.
Thankyou so much for this!! Have a great day!! bye!!💖
Hi Aashi ✨ I love your name and your energy, oml, you seem like a sweet person! And hey, I'm a huge fan of Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift too wohoo! Fun fact: I'm a Taurus sun myself 🥺
Thank you for the beautiful reading!
How will you meet your FS?
To start off, I see you being very emotionally wounded when your FS enters your life. I see you extremely burdened too. Something could be resurfacing at that time (for deep healing) and you could shutting the door on your emotions. Idk why but you seem very emotionally distant 😐 the way I see it. You would be extremely disinterested in love and romance, and all the "clichë" stuff but heyyyyy, the cliches are cliches for a reason :P You could be very focused on your career, not paying any attention to other areas of your life. I see you burning out though. You could lose contact with your friend's at this time and isolate yourself a little? I see you being kinda unhappy with your job/studies too. Idk why but I'm getting very resistant energy from you. A friend might drag you out for an outing, this could be anywhere. A cafe, a trek, a casual hangout idk, and you're gonna wanna dodge it but I see that you'll give in ultimately and join your friend??? (Is she a stubborn taurus ♉😂) This is where you could meet your FS! As far as the signs are concerned, I'm leaning more towards gemini and Aquarius. They could love to debate or could be extremely good at it? They could've won a lot of medals too 🏅 A smarty pants 👖
Your first impression of your FS
He'll be someone who is very intelligent oof, extremely hot and witty! Quick witted, great sense of humor, sarcastic asf, might have a comeback for everything! He's gonna charge forward very quickly, fr! He could walk upto you and strike a conversation, I see it being a mentally stimulating conversation. I'm getting very airy vibes. He could be an air sign fosho! He'll know how to keep a conversation going. Either one of you is a sapiosexual. His communication skills could turn you on 🥵I see you taking a step back and being like "OMG 👁️👄👁️" You won't see it coming at all! You're gonna feel like it was worth the "hangout" hahha. For some reason, i get that you're gonna notice this person but you'll turn your back to them? It's almost like they come off too strong (cocky perhaps) and you're like nawwwww, rejected 🤨 But you see a softer, more caring side of them later. They'll spoil you. They're gonna wanna treat you. Plan suprises for you etc. I also get that they're wealthy, side note. And the way they see you, they think you're extremely hardworking, ambitious, goal oriented but you have a lot on your plate. You overwork yourself and you bite more than you can chew. However, they don't fail to notice your beauty. They think you have a fragile frame. They notice your curves??? They wonder what holding you in their arms would feel like (18+ 😐😳). You are going ignore them at the first meeting (even though they continue to spark your interest/debate a lil and they think it's hawt) haha. I think I lost the track of your question here, sowwie haha. I see you finding him interesting, but at the same time being confused. "I like him but.... " so yeah, you're gonna have mixed feelings. Once you get to know him, you're gonna feel like you kinda 'judged a book by its cover' tho.
Thanks for participating! I'll drop the feedback in your asks 😃 I hope the reading resonates with you ✨🥺🥰

pairing: Richie Tozier/Eddie Kaspbrak [Reddie] written by: Amy rating: Teen word count: 2,214 prompt: “Richie (scholar) and Eddie (track star) end up in detention together.”
Even though it was pretty clear that Eddie had a free pass in High School due to his place on the track team, not to mention his countless gold medals from competitions, it didn’t mean that he was a dick to those who were further down on the social scale. He always smiled at Betty Rispsom, and shared his calculus notes with Edward Corcoran. His acts of ‘kindness’ as the other track team members called it, earned him weird looks from the other popular kids at school, but Eddie was a big boy and could walk away from those bothering him.
He liked to think that he was friends, or at least on speaking terms, with almost everyone in the school and in his year. Yes, there were certain people, like Henry Bowers and his gang, that Eddie knew to stay clear of, but other than them he had no real issue with anyone. 
Certainly not with Richie Tozier, even though he couldn’t say the same for Richie himself. 
Richie was probably the smartest student that Derry High had ever had. Ever since he was a kid, his brain was always one step ahead of everyone else and by the time he was in middle school, he could probably take exams meant for college seniors. Eddie could remember when they were freshmen in High School and Richie had been interviewed by specialists from different Ivy League colleges, and was even offered a place, but he turned them down. According to his best friend, Stan, it was because he didn’t want to grow above his means. 
Back before cliques became a thing and Eddie was accepted to the track team, Richie and he used to be friends. Close friends even. Richie’s dad was still best friends with Eddie’s dad, and sometimes Eddie would overhear them discussing why their son’s weren’t friends anymore. Eddie wished that he knew the answer to that one too. Of course, he had asked Richie a few times, but the other boy just shook his head and turned in the other direction. Now, Eddie can’t even say hello without Richie running away from him. 
Eventually, Eddie stopped trying. If Richie wanted to speak to him, then he could approach Eddie. He was done being the one trying. 
About a month after Eddie had made that decision, the worst thing that could possibly happen...happened. Just after fourth period, Eddie was making his way to the lunch hall when he overheard the dulcet tones of Henry Bowers and his gang of fuckwits. He rolled his eyes, planning on walking past them and avoiding any confrontation, when Richie’s voice cut through and Eddie froze in his place. 
“Wait, hold on, just...give me that back.” Eddie rounded the corner and surveyed the scene. Richie was up against one of the lockers, held there by Patrick, and Henry was flicking through what was obviously Richie’s science project book from the stickers plastered all over it. 
Henry pursed his lips, flicking through the book with no interest whatsoever. “I mean, you are a smarty pants, Tozier, shouldn’t you be able to whip up another one of these bad boys in a few hours or so? Or are you not as smart as you make out to me? Have you been lying to everyone this whole time?” He laughed and slowly ripped a page out of the book, letting it float to the floor.
“No! Please!” Richie shook his head as he tried to get out of Patrick’s grip, but the bully was too strong against his gangly form. The sight made Eddie sick to his stomach. “It’s not that easy, I’ve been working on it for months, it’s not easily re-created.”
As Henry rolled his eyes, Eddie decided that it was time to make himself known, before the bully did in fact, ruin all of Richie’s hard work. “Don’t you have anything better to do, Bowers? Like fucking graduate?” It was a low blow, but also no secret that Henry was two years older than his pack of goons, having been held back for two years due to not being able to graduate. “Just fuck off.”
“This is none of your business, Kaspbrak. Just because your dad is the chief of police doesn’t mean I won’t beat your ass.” Henry growled, dropping the book and storming over to Eddie, glaring down at him.
Eddie had to hold back the urge to laugh. Even though he was on the smaller scale height wise, he made up for it with his self defense ability and his unexpected strength. He was also super fast, which was why he was the best track member on the team. “I think you’re confused about me beating your ass Bowers, do you really want a repeat of Halloween Sophomore year?”
Behind them, Victor snorted and Eddie let himself smirk. It was clear that no-one had forgotten about the time Eddie broke Henry’s nose for mouthing off his dad in Sophomore year. Good, he didn’t want anyone to forget that he wasn’t scared of the resident bully. Unfortunately, Henry didn’t seem to share the all round amusement, and raised his fist, swinging it in for a punch, which Eddie dodged with ease. His height did come in handy sometimes. 
“You fucking faggot!” Henry snapped, turning and lunging for Eddie, sending them both barreling backwards onto the tile floor. With the wind knocked out of him, Eddie lost his bearings for a moment, long enough for Henry to get a punch in, but not long enough for anything else. Quickly, Eddie rolled out of the way and as Henry made another move, Eddie raised his knee, hitting Bower’s straight in the groin. The bully fell to the floor, groaning and Eddie got to his feet, brushing himself off.
“Next time pick on someone your own size,” Eddie snapped, reaching down to pick up RIchie’s discarded project book, handing it back to him with a smile. “Here. Sorry about them, they are assholes.”
Richie snatched the book from him, holding it close and pushing his glasses back up his face. “I had it under control, you didn’t need to step in like some hero.” He rolled his eyes. “You just made things so much worse, they’re going to actively seek me out now because of you.”
“Richie I was just- I just wanted to help…” Eddie stammered, losing his confidence just a little. It was always the same when he was around Richie, ever since they were fifteen. Even though they weren’t as close, or even friends at all, it didn’t just mean that the feelings Eddie felt for him would disappear like magic. They were still there, sitting under the surface with every accidental eye-lock or brush of shoulders in the hallways. 
“I didn’t need your help!” Richie snapped and was just about to walk away when a teacher rounded the corner. Bowers was still on the ground, clutching his groin like a five year old and his cronies were nowhere to be seen. Eddie looked up, hoping it would be his Coach, or another teacher that he got on well with, but it seemed that his luck had run out. It was Mr Black, the strict and intolerable English Teacher who seemed to have it out for every student at Derry High. 
He stormed over to the three of them, his arms crossed and eyes dark. “What is going on here? As Seniors, you should all be aware of the ‘No Fighting’ rule. Especially in the hallways.” Mr Black’s voice was cold and harsh, but Eddie still attempted to explain. “I don’t want to hear it. All three of you, detention after school.” With that, he walked off, muttering under his breath.
“See what you did?” Richie groaned, running a hand through his hair. “Detention! I’ve never had detention before in my life!” He shook his head and without another word, disappeared down the hall, leaving Eddie alone by the lockers. 
For the rest of the day, Eddie wondered how he was going to get through the hour of after school detention with Bowers and Richie, both who were not on his side at that moment. Before lunch period ended, Eddie sent a quick message to his dad, explaining what had gone on and why he would be home late. Of course, he was disappointed that Eddie had gotten into a fight, but proud that he was standing up for himself and his friends. 
Never let anyone push you around. They hit you? Hit them back.
When the final bell of the day rang, Eddie packed up his bag and made his way to Mr Black’s classroom. When he arrived, Richie was already there, head down and scribbling in a book and Henry was nowhere to be seen. “Take a seat Mr Kaspbrak. It will just be you and Mr Tozier this afternoon, as Mr Bowers is serving his detention with another teacher.” Mr Black grunted before making his way to the door. “I have a teacher meeting, but you both better still be here when I get back or there will be more time added and I know you both don’t want that.”
As soon as Mr Black was gone, Eddie slumped into a seat and pulled out a few of his books. He might as well get some studying in, since he couldn’t practice in detention. However, the need to talk to Richie, to finally get some answers was eating away at him and becoming unbearable to ignore. He slammed his book closed and out of the corner of his eye, Richie jumped a little.
“Richie, please can we talk like adults? I can’t take this anymore!” Eddie made his way over to Richie and pulled up a chair so the was facing him on the other side of the desk. “You can’t run away from me here, and Mr Black won’t be back until four so we have time to talk. Please? I just want to talk.”
Richie looked at Eddie, his eyes wide behind his glasses, “What is there to talk about Eddie? You’re you and I’m me. That’s all there is to it. Just because our dads are friends, doesn’t mean we need to be too.”
That took Eddie by surprise and he blinked a few times, “Richie- what are you talking about? You don’t really think I only want to be friends with you because our dads are friends do you? Even if our dads weren’t friends, I’d still want to be friends with you. You’re pretty amazing.” As those words left his lips, a blush rose up on Eddie’s cheeks and he bit his lip. “I mean, you’re cool and all.”
“But- you’re a jock and I’m a nerd. You shouldn’t want to be my friend. That’s not how High School works,” Richie shook his head and Eddie barked out a laugh. He had clearly been watching too many teen romantic comedies in his spare time. “Why are you laughing? What’s so funny?”
Eddie smiled, a smile that was reserved only for the people in his life that he really cared about and trusted. “You are. Richie- since when have I ever cared about the social norms of High School? I’m not on the track team because I want to be popular and have lots of friends. I'm on the track team because I like to run. I enjoy the sport. I also know that you aren’t a ‘nerd’ by choice, you are just exceptionally smart and absolutely brilliant!” He shook his head again. “Is that why you stopped talking to me? Because you thought it would bring my popularity status down?”
Now it was Richie’s time to flush and he let out a groan, “I’m an idiot aren’t I?” He asked and Eddie nodded his head just a little. “Though...that wasn’t the only reason I was ignoring you and cut you off back in freshman year.” Richie was looking away at this point, which only stemmed Eddie’s curiosity. 
“What?”
“I- may or may not have had a little crush on you when I was younger, and I didn’t want it to ruin anything if I told you. It became harder to be around you though because those feelings never really...went away?” Richie explained and Eddie’s jaw dropped open a little. “Have I said too much?”
Eddie shook his head faster, “No- fuck...no. Richie...the reason why I never stopped trying to be your friend for so long was because I felt the same and I didn’t want you to not be in my life, even if it was just as a friend.” He was grinning now, from ear to ear and he reached out to cover a hand over Richie’s. 
“Holy shit,” Richie laughed. “We really are a pair of angsty teenage idiots, aren’t we?” He asked and Eddie nodded, his own laugh bubbling past his lips. “What- what happens now?”
At that, Eddie ginned, “Well, if you don’t mind. I would love to take you out on a date. If that’s something you would like to do? With me?” God, Eddie was bad at this. 
Richie grinned and turned his wrist so their palms were touching and he leaned closer. “Absolutely.”

Catch His Eye for Grins
Plot: You got tickets to the second Ellen appearance for the band. Almost everyone else seemed plastic and fake – only there for their 15 minutes of fame or because they wanted a glimpse of the handsome foreigners. You were the lone person cheering for him but one small voice made him happy.
Rating: PG (Language, negative thoughts, bad mouthing)
Characters: RM x Reader (any gender), mention of other members.
Notes: I’ve read in a few threads and posts that a handful of the pretty audience members, specifically those in front of the cameras, were (supposedly) not lucky fans but wealthy offspring of the elite meant to fill the audience and look good. Also I noticed no one yelled or cheered for RM when his intro was taking place or when it ended – this is my “what if it was different” take. All of this is fictional and speculation!
“I HATE YOU!” Marina yelled. A few deep breaths were taken in the background before she spoke again. “Well, not really Y/N, but I am jealous that you get to see them at a TV show taping, literally be that much closer to them than I was in the GA section at their concert! I know you’re gonna be eyeing Smarty Pants Leader the whole time, but please, just give me a rundown on what Yoongles is wearing and what his voice sounds like in person!”
You bit back a laugh after hearing her last audio response in your KakaoTalk chat. Your eyes drifted back to the print out in your hand, confirming you were guaranteed a seat in the audience for BTS’s second appearance on “Ellen” while they were in the US. Your first BTS encounter after trying and failing to get tickets to their concerts several times.
“Whoa, is that the line for “Ellen” or some Apple release?” the Lyft driver asked as he turned the corner at the intersection.
You looked up and saw a long line queued up a block and a half from the entrance to “Ellen”, all girls from the looks of it. Many were dressed up nicely and others were sporting accessories themed to BTS.
“Yeah...I think it’s “Ellen” – can you drop me here please?” you asked as you pointed to the sidewalk closest to the end of the line.
The driver pulled over and you pulled out a few bills for a tip, thanking him before you exited. You clutched your confirmation in hand and walked to the line, checking with the girl in front of you to make sure you were in the right place.
She looked up from her phone and nodded with a smile, flashing her confirmation at you. With her other hand, she extended it for a handshake.
“I’m Bre,” she introduced herself. “First time I ever got a chance to see BTS.”
“I’m Y/N and same!” you replied, shaking her hand. “I swear I have the worst luck – I’d get up super early –”
“Load all the computers and gadgets up with the ticket sale sites,” she interrupted, “try, try, try and get nothing because others beat us?”
“Right? But we’re here now,” you said. “How long until they load us in?”
She shrugged as she put her phone away, craning her neck to see if she tell what was going on at the front of the line. She frowned when she spotted people she recognized, or so it seemed, and she whipped back around, jabbing her thumb at some girls at the front of the line.
“Wait, weren’t those girls in the front on “Ellen” the last time?”
You blinked as you tried to get a better look at the girls in question. A few people ahead of you, another girl heard your question and nodded with a grim face. She asked her friend to hold her place while she joined you and Bre, lowering her voice so she wouldn’t be heard.
“Those girls aren’t even ARMY,” she revealed. “I heard they’re just rich chicks who got scouted by the studio to stand in front to look pretty. My friend came to their first appearance and overheard one of them say that they didn’t know who these guys were, but they better be cute if they’re pretending to look excited.”
Bre gasped and crossed her arms over her chest. You stared shocked at the other girl, holding your breath for a few moments.
“This is Ellen we’re talking about,” Bre said. “President Obama gave her a medal, she’s always has been embracing normal and imperfect people – are you sure?”
“We’re in Hollywood,” the other girl reminded you. “It’s always about appearances.”
Bre grumbled under her breath and your shoulders sagged when you heard this bit of news. While you weren’t disappointed about scoring the tickets to see the guys in person, it meant that you were probably going to be forced toward the back with the true ARMYs.
“Here, you should stand in front of me,” someone said as she nudged you forward.
“Oh thanks,” you replied, noticing she was taller than you.
“Gotta look out for fellow ARMY – I don’t wanna block you from seeing your faves,” she replied. “Name’s Victoria – who’s your bias?”
“Y/N,” you said. “Mine’s RM. You?”
“I’m a Hobi stan,” she said. “I think you’re the only person I’ve met here who stans RM – everyone else I’ve talked to is either Suga or the maknae line. Maybe a couple of Jin stans, but not a lot of us for the hyung line for some reason.”
Wonder if that was an accident or on purpose, you thought as the crew grabbed everyone’s attention.
“Welcome everyone, may I have your attention please?” one of the crew members called out. He waited for everyone quiet down and he clapped his hands. “Everyone excited?”
The crowd cheered loudly and he nodded with a smile. “Love the energy – need you all to keep that up throughout taping, okay? Smile, wave, cheer – that’s what I want to catch on camera. Now, all of you were assigned in groups and those with a purple wristband, I’m going to need you to join me when one of my crew members grab you. We’re going to film something else for online and you’ll be helping us out with that, okay?”
You looked down at your wrist and sighed when you saw your band wasn’t one of the purple ones. Victoria checked hers and excitedly shook your shoulders.
“Congrats,” you whispered with a smile.
“Whatever it is, I’m gonna tell RM you came for him,” she promised. “My gut’s saying it’s gotta be something for the boys.”
“Only if you get a chance to – thank you,” you said.
The crew spent the next few minutes instructing everyone what was going to happen and pointed to where the cameras were positioned. Once everyone seemed to know what they were doing and where to look, the main guy began counting down, signaling the start of taping.
Ellen came bounding out as the DJ blasted music in the background. You threw your arms up and cheered as she went around high fiving people, cameras panning across the audience. Eventually Ellen took her seat and welcomed everyone, introducing her first guests, BTS.
The rest was a blur as the lights dimmed and cameras panned to the stage where the band was performing. You watched as the audience lit up with lightsticks and silently you wished you brought your own. While V started out the song, your eyes went to the male with dark, slightly spiked hair in the formation. They followed him as he moved across the stage, staying in time with the music and tempo.
You sucked in a sharp breath as the song began to wind down and the boys took their final positions. Out of the corner of your eye, you spotted Ellen joining them, making the group look up in surprise. Everyone laughed at her actions and cheered as she announced they were going to take a quick break then be right back.
Then the lights were back on and the crew began working to reset the stage with couches for Ellen and BTS to sit on. Some of the girls continued to watch as the boys waited to get acquainted, while others fussed with their appearances. You felt a tap on your shoulder and soon a phone was passed over.
“I’ll text you what the purple wristband thing is all about,” Victoria whispered.
You mouthed a thank you as you typed in your number and passed it back. You unlocked your phone and handed it to her so she could enter her number.
“Okay everyone! We’re back in three, two, one!” the crew guy called out.
Your eyes snapped up to the stage and your voice joined the many cheers as the cameras began rolling again and Ellen welcomed everyone back. She gestured to the sofa where all 7 boys were seated or huddled around, prompting them to reintroduce themselves.
“You all had different hair colors first time,” she reasoned. “Can we get everyone to introduce themselves real quick?”
Your eyes went to the spiky-haired young man who flashed a dimpled smile, raising a hand. “Hey I’m RM, and I’m kind of the spokesperson for BTS,” he greeted.
You yelled out a cheer, trying to ignore the stares you got from the silent women around you. You kept a smile plastered on your face even though you could hear a pounding in your ears. Victoria wasn’t kidding – you were the only RM stan present.
The leader snapped his head in the direction of the cheer trying to find the individual. Meanwhile, the others began to introduce themselves, the audience around you drowning out the band’s voices. Eventually the leader gave up and focused back up front as Ellen began to ask them questions.
“Was it fun?”
“Yeah it was!” you said to your mom as you stepped outside the studio. You checked your watch and decided it would be best to call a Lyft soon. “Hey, I’ll let you go – gonna schedule someone to pick me up and I’ll let you know when I’m home safely.”
“Sounds like a plan,” she replied.
You ended the call and started to pull up the Lyft app. Then a text popped up, making you pause and switch to your messages.
Victoria
Purple wristbands had to go to the “Friends” set and read a couple of lines. Totally wasn’t expecting the band to jump out from behind the bar and sofa! Sent 3:51 PM
RM was behind the couch when my group went – I made sure to tell him it was you who cheered for him. Sent 3:52 PM
You saw three dots appear and you frowned as you looked closer to see another message come through, this time with a short video clip. You did a double take when you saw RM’s smiling face in the still shot.
Your thumb pressed the play button and the video enlarged before starting.
“Hey Y/N! Thank you so much for the love and support,” RM said as he clasped his hands together. “Really wish I could have met you but Victoria here was so nice to tell me your name and that you were the one cheering during my intro. Thank you so much, I mean it. Hope you enjoyed the taping and maybe I’ll see you at a future concert.” He raised his fingers, forming finger hearts by his cheeks, then he used his arms to form a big heart, hands making the top part of the heart by resting on top of his head.

Stop 5: Syracuse, NY
“She just has such a natural beauty. She’s one of the prettiest girls I know.” Brent adored Amanda and said this about her on multiple occasions. Brent adored Drew too. They were some of his best friends from back home in Wilkes-Barre. I adore them too.
Originally, Stop 5 was supposed to be Acadia National Park in Maine...but I simply did not carve out enough time for the trip (oops!). So, with that trip being postponed until the spring the obvious second choice was Syracuse to visit 8 month pregnant parents to be, Amanda and Drew! The last time Brent and I stopped through to visit Syracuse (rather briefly) was after we had gone camping in the Adirondacks in July of 2015. I remember we parked the Jeep at Forked Lake Campground and hiked maybe about a half mile to our spot which was right next to the lake and was picture perfect (until it rained later that evening). The site came with a picnic table and benches and whoever had the site before us, placed several tree stumps around the “fire pit”. So we set up the tent, hammock and walked around the area a bit.
Tumblr media
I started dinner while Brent went to get more firewood from the car. Then hopped in his hammock with a Bells Two Hearted Ale. Brent came back with firewood and flowers he picked along the way for me. After we ate we enjoyed the fire and beers before it started to downpour. We didn’t mind though as we planned on waking up with the sun the next morning to go on quite the hike.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pictured above is us a smidge tired and sweaty after an upwards hike for 3 hours and 4,626 ft. at the top of Giant Mountain in New York. I like hiking but I like to work towards something. That something could be a killer view, waterfalls or anything to keep me motivated. This was quite the view and I remember that the camera couldn’t truly capture the depths of the mountains and how beautiful the view actually was. I also remember Brent struggling a bit during the hike...at one point (I think we were about a third of the way to the top) I looked at him and told him we didn’t have to complete the hike and could just turn around. I could barely even finish that sentence before he looked at me and said, “I didn’t just beat cancer.” When he said the word “just” he drew out the “uhhh” in an annoyed voice. He said that if he could beat cancer and he could get to the top of the mountain. Did any of you just chuckle while hearing him say this in your head? I did. He was a determined and smarty-pants at times. That’s what I liked about him. Not only did he have motivation but determination.
Brendan and I pulled up to a cute little house with a Blazer in the driveway marked with a “LiveLikeBrent” sticker on the back windshield. Amanda, belly and all, came out from the garage led by Bear, their puppy. Bear is a gorgeous mix of German Sheppard and who knows what else and has the softest coat I’ve ever felt. Drew and Amanda gave us the tour of their home and property. During said tour, Drew said he was sold on the house just by the backyard. Their home sits on a decent sized lot with a backyard that backs up to the woods. There’s a slight up slope towards the back of their property where they have Adirondack chairs in front of a fire pit. I originally thought it was a pizza oven due to the fact Drew isn’t a stranger in the kitchen. Turns out that’s what he eventually wants to do with it. So obviously I’ll be back but only when that’s completed.
Tumblr media
After we got settled we hopped in the car and went to Emipre Brewing Co. for a late lunch and some beers. As we pulled up I didn’t realize how massive of a facility Empire was...I suppose the name is fitting. On the other hand, Drew couldn’t get over how packed it was. I mean, it was a Saturday afternoon. In October. In Syracuse. With perfect weather.
“Empire Farm Brewery, est.2016, is the largest Farm Brewery on the East Coast. Over 22 acres were developed for educational and beer production purposes. Boasting a new 60 bbl automated brewhouse, the Empire Farm Brewery is producing kegs and bottles for regional, national and international distribution. Bottled lineup includes 3 time consecutive Great American Beer Fest gold medal winner; Skinny Atlas Light, White Aphro, Slo Mo’ IPA, East Coast Amber Ale, and World Beer Cup gold medal winner; Black Magic Stout.  Located in Cazenovia, NY, the property also grows hops, lavender, vegetables, herbs, and fruits for use in the brewing process and to support the needs of Empire’s downtown brewpub.
The agricultural component was designed in conjunction with Professor Matthew Potteiger and the graduate student body from the Department of Landscape Architecture, State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The Empire Farm Brewery was the class project for ESF’s spring 2012 semester.”
Reading that makes the place sound somewhat dreamy, right? It kinda was. The inside was nice, still smelled somewhat new. The place was jammin’ and as we were ordering our beers and a lemonade for the mama to be, a table opened up. What was neat about the place was that they had long communal picnic tables and “round” tables made out of tree trunks which is where we sat. There is a patio out back with tables, a bar and several corn hole sets. I kept looking around not being able to get over the size of the place. We ordered some food and caught up with one another. Drew knew Brent from back in the day in grade school and had been friends ever since. Amanda met Brent through mutual friends later in life in high school. Brent mentioned to me the first time Amanda told him she liked Drew. It was at a concert of sorts (most likely moe. or something along those lines) where she said it and Brent’s reply was something similar to “Yeah, me too.” ... but she corrected him on what she actually meant. They’re a super sweet couple. The first time I met them was New Year’s Eve 2014. They were staying the weekend at Brent’s apartment in East Falls. I remember Drew cooking dinner for all of us at Danny and Dana’s place. He made quite the meal with nice steaks. The following day I remember learning that apparently eating pork on New Year’s Day is a Polish tradition. I think we even had some venison if my memory serves me correctly. At that point in time, I just knew Drew as the friend that could cook and Amanda as “the most naturally beautiful girls” Brent knew...and his best friends of course.
We ate, drank and tossed around baby name ideas. After Empire we decided to do “fall things” (with the rest of the state of New York) since the weather was so beautiful. We drove to a place called Tim’s Pumpkin Patch. Why did we drive close to a half hour and pass maybe half a dozen orchards and pumpkin stands just to go to Tim’s? Well, first of all it has a 4.4 star rating on Google...so there’s that. But in addition to pumpkin picking they have a brewery, bakery, animals and well, Amanda insisted. When we arrived, I bought everyone some farm feed along with beers and ciders before going to visit the animals. After we cooed over the baby goats, pigs and cows we stopped for some fresh apple fritters before heading into the corn maze. The maze was so difficult we ended up coming out where we began and probably didn’t even touch half of the maze. If the sun wasn’t setting we probably would’ve given it another shot. But at that point we wanted to pick our pumpkins, snag a quick photo of the parents to be and hit the road.
Tumblr media
When we got back to Drew and Amanda’s home we were greeted by Bear who quite honestly Brendan and I could not get enough of the entire visit. By the way, he is SUCH a good boy.
Tumblr media
We hung out for a while. Amanda and Drew then ended up taking us to a place called Seneca Street Brew Pub where I had a Cider Creek Smoked Up Cider. I thought it ruled and was very much alone on this. Give me anything and everything smoked and I’ll consume it...meat, cheese, beer and ciders. This brew pub was in the basement of a renovated church with a bottle shop on top. It truly didn’t feel like a church by any means but was still a cool spot. The bottle shop had dozens and dozens of locally brewed beers, ciders and some wines. I did fail to take a photo of this place. (I actually forgot to take a lot of photos over the weekend!) After we had a drink we walked down the street in downtown Manlius to IronWood Pizza for some dinner. It had a cool vibe inside and an extensive craft beer list. It had an alternative atmosphere with some cool graffiti on the wall in the main dining room and had somewhat industrial touches around the place.
After we ate we went back and the boys built a fire. There was a meteor shower the night before so we hung out in hopes to catch a meteor or two. Drew said he had been listening to some of Brent’s playlists and suggested that we throw one on. So we did. We played some of Brent’s music from Spotify and enjoyed the night. You can view and play Brent’s public playlists on Spotify right here. Note: I’m not sure if they will disappear once his subscription is not renewed. So please download or screenshot the playlists for future reference if you wish!
Sunday morning was a treat. Amanda and Drew have their Sunday ritual which is checking out the Central New York Regional Market. Brendan had already had his eye on visiting this place. The market has been there for YEARS and has Sunday flea markets, Saturday farmers markets and even serves as a live music venue occasionally. The market has several “sheds” which are extremely long structures with garage doors along the sides where vendor after vendor set up for the day. You can find pretty much anything there. Some people bring their junk, some have brand new items with price tag stickers still on them and then people who have some neat odds and ends. I walked out of there with three silver candle stick holders that just need some polish that I bought for a whopping $2. Amanda and Drew found a metal tub type bucket, kitchen tools and some Simpsons books...yes, as in the TV show. According to Drew the place was “empty” and gets packed in the summers. But I actually thought there were a decent amount of vendors there...but I would have no problem making the trip back up in the summertime. I LOVE flea markets, antique shops, thrift stores, indoor markets, outdoor markets, whatever sort of place that has potential for cool finds.
Tumblr media
Speaking of cool finds, we “found” some barbecue too. It was just about lunchtime and before Brendan and I even got to Syracuse that weekend, we decided we would go to Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. I actually had no idea this place originated in Syracuse but had been to a location in Brooklyn several years back. We made it right before the Sunday afternoon rush and got a table in a booth. Amanda had mentioned a couple of times that they had solid bloody marys. She ordered a virgin and I told the waitress I’d take Amanda’s vodka. It was a really good bloody mary. It was spicy and whatever dry rub of their’s they rim the glass with was spot on. We started with their fried green tomatoes to share and then ribs, pulled pork, corn bread, mac and cheese were ordered...but I don’t even think that was half of what was order for the table.
Tumblr media
This photo above it definitely one of my new favorites. I’m full again just looking at this picture. After I ate my sandwich I could hardly touch the rest of my sides. Or even think about them. Everything tasted so flippin’ good but I felt as though I was busting at the seems. I remember telling everyone I needed to lay down to digest and slumped over in the booth. I have no idea how the boys pack it away.
Just like every trip I take, I find at least one worthy spot for a #LiveLikeBrent sticker. I think that most people would agree that Dinosaur was more than worthy. I spoke to the bartender and gave her the revised version as to why I was there and why I wanted this sticker in their establishment. She gave her condolences but was super touched to hear what I was doing to honor Brent. So if you ever find yourself at the bar of Dinosaur Barbeque in Syracuse a sticker for Brent is there just to the right of the tap system on the back ledge of the bar.
Tumblr media
We made our way back to the house to try and digest for a bit.The boys relaxed in the basement (which is massive by the way) and watched some of the Sunday football games. Amanda, Bear and I got in the car and went to Green Lakes State Park for a walk. It was a pretty drive and as you enter the park you also pass through what looked like a nice golf course. We parked the car and started to walk. Turns out the lakes are actually green. The two glacial lakes in the park lie at the base of a gorge. I learned that they are rare meromictic lakes meaning their layers within the water never physically mix. We walked a bit over a mile which made me feel better about the amount of food I had recently inhaled. As we walked we talked about losing Brent, when Amanda lost her father and how the boys have been back in Philadelphia. Ps. Philly Friends - This is the part where I tell you she misses you all and Drew wants me to tell everyone Syracuse isn’t that far...so you all need to visit them.
When we got back, the boys were snoozing in front of the television. Then Brendan showed up in the kitchen and made some coffees. Drew and Amanda’s home is decorated with flea market finds, family heirlooms and pieces they have found along the way. It’s got this farm house vibe but nothing that seems like you can just go and pick-up from the home decor section at Target. (P.S. -  There is NOTHING wrong with Target, by the way. I basically live there myself.) But I started asking about an antique cabbage slicer Amanda had hanging above the kitchen sink. I didn’t know what it actually was until she told me but see them all of the time now when out at antique shops. It turns out it belonged to her grandfather back in the day. They also have a couple of letter trays on the walls that hold little knick knacks. I think at their previous apartment they held stones as well. As I was asking about items around the house, Amanda pulled out a stoneware crock which held kitchen tools...and some actual tools. I didn’t realize it until Brendan started asking about the crocks but there are several around their home. Some for decor and others serving a purpose. They were really cool and completely Amanda’s style. Amanda also collects retro kitchen tools with the green handles. She actually just bought the one dead center in the photo on the counter at the market earlier that day. I think we decided it was a pastry/cookie cutter that you roll along dough. It had the shapes of suits in a deck of cards: heart, diamond, club, and spade. It was kinda neat. Amanda pulled out almost every tool and told us about them. She likes the way they look mainly but said when she’s out at the market a lot of people will try to paint the handles green to make them look like antiques and she tried to avoid the replicas.
Tumblr media
We finished up our coffee and played with Bear one more time before packing up. Drew woke up from his slumber but claimed he was awake the entire time. We said our goodbyes, packed up the car and made our way back south.This is the part where I remind everyone that even though Amanda and Drew have a little one due literally any day now...they still welcome visitors. This is also the part where I tell you Brent told me Amanda and Drew are having a boy (even though they don’t know the gender of the baby). Maybe Brent was having a “chemo brain” moment when he told me confidently that it’s a boy or maybe he just knew or maybe it’ll just be a coincidence. Or maybe...they’ll just have a little baby girl. Either way, I’m excited to see the little bundle of joy the next time I go to visit them upstate. Thank you so much for having us for the weekend, Drew and Amanda. We love you, Bear and the little one on the way!

101 Nice Things To Say To A Friend To Make Her Feel Wonderful
Harini Natarajan Hyderabd040-395603080 June 21, 2019
We all have that one friend who is always there for us. You depend on her for all your emotional needs. She is your backbone, partner-in-crime, and rock. But, how many times do we really tell our friends how much they mean to us? We show a lot of affection to our partners, but when it comes to our go-to girls, we forget to tell them how much we love them (and just can’t do without them in our life!). Let’s change that, girls! Take a look at the list of compliments we have compiled for you, and choose the ones that apply to your bestie. Tell her how you really feel to make her day!

Apart from food, you are my favorite.
You have a great sense of style.
Your hair looks amazing. I love the way you take care of yourself.

The best thing about you is that you make everyone feel welcome, no matter who it is.
Your self-confidence is refreshing, and I love the way you are so self-assured.
I want to be as outgoing as you are! I love your independence and confidence.
You are so unique. You are authoritative yet gentle, self-confident yet modest.
I admire you. Your presence commands respect and attention, no matter how huge the audience is.
You are so interesting to talk to. Your ideas and perceptions of things make me think and grow.
I admire how you can stay calm and patient during times of distress.
You may have a wardrobe of only blacks – but you have a heart of gold.
You light the whole room up when you walk in, and people are mesmerized by your radiance.
You impress me – and everyone else – every single day of your life with your ability to work extra hard for things you want to achieve.
Giving a genuine compliment is one of the best ways to make someone feel special. And if that person is your best friend, there is nothing like it. If you tell your friends how much you appreciate them, you will not only brighten their day but also spread a whole lot of joy in the world. Go spread some love!

I am completely in love with this song and I tried to translate it, but it didn’t come out too well. It’s about the lingering legacy of fascism in Spain, especially its traditional, Christian morality and strong opposition to minority languages like Valencian/Catalan. Unfortunately I don’t know enough about Spanish history and politics to translate this super well (also my Spanish is really bad right now), so corrections are welcome (more than welcome, actually, please tell me if this is right)! (Also side note: this is a sort of controversial topic, I don’t want to offend anyone so please tell me if there is anything that I’m saying that I shouldn’t be, especially in the footnotes.)
A medal for the Virgin Mary,
A guardian angel in every police station
The holy spirit watches over the police
As they shoot hoses of holy water
The state's sewers smell like Channel
The minister is the messenger of Escrivá de Balaguer¹
You'll be judged by your deeds
Revolving door from the government to heaven
Clemency, piñatas and Pandora's boxes
Surprise! Late night raids
You need to watch out for all your children
it's democratic control, hey, don't rush
Millán Astray² up above
I need a saint but not the one from Lepanto³
Independence⁴ would be like cancer
Long live death, death to intelligence!
Say it in Spanish!
It makes it sound true!
Speak to me in Christian⁵, death to diversity!
Take charge, Fernández⁶!
Come right through, Diaz⁶ family
The Spanish empire: order, law, and dynasties
There's a black sheep in every house
The apples are rotting in every basket
We're a product of our heritage
Blood and genetics, inherited morals
In every village, someone's making a scene
Non-conformists, heretics, idiots,
Some smarty-pants who believes in science
Profaning our sacred faith
In case divine providence fails
I have the law and the sword
The weight of history in my favor
Glory and honor, revelations of truth
In case divine providence fails
I have the law and the sword
Don't let them tell you this is violence
The plebs just haven’t gotten used to this yet
Say it in Spanish!
It makes it sound true!
Speak to me in Christian⁵, death to diversity!
Take charge, Fernández⁶!
Come right through, Diaz⁶ family
The Spanish empire: order, law, and dynasties
After trying so hard to glorify neoliberalism,
We have to deal with one idiot after another feeling provoked by us
If you don't come from a good family, there's no access to the snack bar
Up above, whatever that young man says!
Say it in Spanish!
It makes it sound true!
Speak to me in Christian⁵, death to diversity!
Take charge, Fernández⁶!
Come right through, Diaz⁷ family
The Spanish empire: order, law, and dynasties
_______________________________________________
¹-Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer, priest with connections to Franco who founded Opus Dei
²-José Millán Astray, founder of the Spanish Legion with lots of ties to Franco
³-Christ of Lepanto, a statue of Jesus at the Cathedral of Barcelona
⁴-of the Catalan Countries (and anyone else who doesn't feel "Spanish")
⁵-"Hábleme en cristiano" is a comment that is commonly addressed to people who try to speak in their regional language in Spain (I've only heard about it once or twice with Catalan people at police stations and stuff but I assume it's more widespread)
⁶-I believe Fernández is a reference to María Teresa Fernández de la Vega, the daughter of a Francoist and a deputy prime minister for the PSOE
⁷-Once again I'm not completely sure who this is referring to, but I think it's a reference to Jorge Fernández Díaz and his brother Alberto Fernández Díaz, right-wing politicians from the PP party

When I finished up my costume I knew there was some additional pieces that I wanted to make to accompany it. My first idea was to make the Amazing Hair-Raising Hare cape! But upon more consideration I figured that would only cover the hard work that I’d already done on everything else. So I went with my second idea...
Tumblr media
The Smarty Pants medal from “Vanity Hare”. This has to be my favorite Hare-centered episode so I felt compelled to make the medal from it. I gathered up my supplies and set to work.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I first wanted to start with the base of the medal. I sketched out what I wanted to make sure the sizing would be right, then I cut that out of lack mounting board. I made sure to cut a slot the back to install a magnet so I could use that to affix it to my outfit and not get holes in it. I used carbon paper to trace the lettering onto some red construction paper, cut those out with the smallest scissors I have and glued those on. The tassel was then added and I used the back of a pushpin painted gold to affix it to the board. (Pushpin not pictured, not sure why...)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The tiny pants were next and I was a little nervous about making them. My original idea was to make them out of foam and paint them, but I remembered that I had an old pair of jeans and decided to just sew them. There isn’t much to explain about this process other than that at the end I decided to add the details (pockets, fly, cuffs) by just glueing them on. I then sewed the ball-chain on (which was from an old necklace I’ve had since middle school) and then glued that to the base.
Tumblr media
All in all, this little project took about 6 hours to complete from conception to completion. I thought that it would be more difficult than it actually turned out being. It came out pretty close to the original and I’m proud of it.

There’s one final addition that I will tell you all about on Friday.
