Lucas: Ehm…
River: What?
He was handed Lucas’s phone, and as he read the mail, he lifted an eyebrow and looked over at Lucas who just stared back at him.
River: Well… Will you look at that? Seems like Mel’s record company has an interest in you.
Lucas: You knew he was in music?
River: Me? Nooo… -he gave a sheepish sip off his drink, grinning- Maybe. I may have been hoping this moment would happen? Maybe? Perhaps? Who knows.
Lucas: But it’s known for taking on new talent, not old talent like me.
River: Perhaps your performance at the restaurant made this happen.
Lucas: Maybe.. He wants a meeting with me and my manager…
River: Time to call Thomas then?
Lucas: I guess so, will you come too?
River: Of course, if you want me too.
Lucas. I would like that.
River: You call Thomas and talk with him, I’ll go back to work for now.
Lucas: But shouldn’t I work too?
River: I think this might be important, so as your boss, you have the afternoon off.
Lucas just chuckled, giving River a quick kiss, before walking out in the backyard off the shelter where they had a place he could sit. Some rather long talks afterwards, he had set up to meet with Thomas later, and they could set up a contract between them, so that he had a manager he could both talk to and someone he trusted. Then he would set up a meeting with Mel and his record company.
River: Holding in there Sunlight?
Lucas: It’s suddenly all happening so fast, it went from zero to one hundred in a day. - he chuckles a little nervously.-
River: You can always stop and say you need a little time. It's all you now, Sunlight, you're the boss here.
Lucas: I know.. I think I want to get started on it, but if I put it off, I will second guess so much. Better to just jump into it?
River: Sometimes yes. -he led Lucas to the car, they would drive to Thomas’s house and get the contract ready. - Let's get this show on the road.
Just a month later, Lucas was signed to Mel’s record company. Unlike the last contract, this was one he, Thomas and River had all read through, and added some things too, before it was accepted. It became big news in the media world, Lucas signing a contract again, for a solo career and perhaps most, that it was for a “small time” record company was something that blew up. It was one of the things Lucas and Mel had talked about as well, that some would see this as Mel trying to leech off Lucas’s fame, so Lucas was very clear in his message that this was his choice. He also commented that the bigger companies he had been in contact with only wanted him for bands which he had turned down several times. So after a bit of controversy and speculations it died down, and the new questions turned more to music once more. Working closely with Thomas and Mel, he took songs he had made while outside of it all, and started working on a first new album with that.
River: Happy?
Lucas: Yeah, I am, this is so different to what it once was.. Everything is different, but in a good way.
River: Good.
He wrapped his arms around Lucas, watching the first draft of the cover of the new album over his shoulder, smiling as things just felt right.

not to be like my parents are incapable of being happy because theyre pathologically committed to being miserable people and it’s bringing everyone else down and i desperately need to leave but rent is so expensive and i am on a sweet contract for work rn so i cant leave the city for a more affordable city until i find employment but like. ‘everything a goddamn ordeal in area family’ is 10000% correct and im EXHAUSTED
im TRYING NOT TO BE MISERABLE AND DEPRESSED AND CRANKY DURING THE BLUEST TIME OF THE YEAR. I am working on MYSELF and being cheerful instead of cranky even though i want to scream and i am changing my diet bc im having Tummy Problems and im Going to the Gym for the brain endorphins and like. holy shit i went grocery shopping with my mother and i will NEVER do that again it’s exhausting. she’s SO nitpicky and penny-pinching and i GET that that’s how she was raised and we were poor when i was small but 1) we’re no longer THAT poor 2) IM BUYING MY OWN GOCERIES and the mental hoops to save 50 cents is NOT WORTH IT + im going flexetarian so the amnt of money im saving on meat means i can get nice produce
3) I WANTED TO GO ALONE but ‘this way we save on gas’ like WOW A WHOLE FIFTY CENTS I WILL JUST PAY FOR IT MYSELF HOLY SHIT. she treats everything (cooking, grocery shopping, LIFE ITSELF) like it’s a chore she just has to get through and like sure, she’s a SAHM cooking for a whole house and i have sympathy for that, but like. MAYBE she wouldnt be so miserable and crabby if she took the opportunity to view these things as smalls joys, or at least opportunities for joy. i LOVE cooking and grocery shopping, yes sometimes im tired. but it’s about an attitude of opportunity and wonder at the smallest things. a whole store full of so many kinds of foods? endless opportunity! all these people going about their lives? the smallest children? yes even that cranky woman yelling into her cellphone? wow look at the miracle of human existence. cooking? im sharing love. like yes it IS trite but it is such a wonderful way to live, and before anyone says ‘oh the joy wears off’ it doesn’t! not if you work to cultivate it! i spent years on my own and i never got tired of grocery shopping it was a weekly joy!
and then ofc we got home and my father is being pissy and grumpy and it’s just like. LEAVE ME GODDAMN ALONE. let me cook and exist in peace.
like no wonder these ppl are so unhappy if they take every single neutral (or even positive) experience and find a way to deliberately put a negative spin on it, play the ‘woe is me’ long suffering card, blame it on their spouse, etc etc etc. on purpose on purpose, they are determined to be miserable on purpose and it creates this godawful aura of unhappiness in the whole house
and it’s not even like they can play the mental illness get off free card. im more mentally ill that either of them by a SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. however i acknowledge it. i seek help. i take meds. i do what i can to help myself get to a baseline functional, and from there i work to cultivate peace in a positive feedback loop bc like cbt and ert do work, at least somewhat, if you actually put the effort in. they refuse to acknowledge that their moods and behaviour is abnormal, they refuse to admit anything is wrong no matter how much i plead, how much EXPLICIT ADVICE i try to give, if they wont even see the problem they for sure arent making attempts to fix it.
i am a fuckin adult and my parents mental health is not my responsibility esp after they keep refusing all my offered aid but like. it is very hard to cultivate joy living with people who are SO DETERMINED to remain miserable after literally a DECADE+ of me trying to fix things
i have to come up with interesting excuses to go grocery shopping and cook at odd hours when i can be LEFT ALONE to do the things that bring me joy

Yo people think of this
Dick a lone hunter. Living on the skirt of town, all alone and isolated with only his two hounds as company. His relationship with his extended family is strained, especially after the death of that boy Bruce took in his place. The one who would look at him with worship in his eyes, like he had been searching for something all his life and had finally found it. His demise. His passing had broken them all. Dick didn't form that much of a relationship with him to began with. Too angry at Bruce and too involved in his work and life to care for one more stray Bruce plucked from the streets. But god it had left him wounded. And while the wound had closed it has yet to heal even now.
Dick spends a relatively simple life now. Long gone the glory he once bathed in with his team to a life of tending to cold hollow house with no one to wait for him in it.
Dick first met him after slipping from a cliff where he got himself injured. Something near fatal if he didn't get help as fast as possible. Apparently he separated far a way from his hounds way too far for them to find him in the right time. Not like the poor animals would be able to think of bringing in human help before setting in to find their master anyway.
As he was finishing that thought, He appeared right in front of him. From the snow like a soft blotch of blood with his red fur, a fox. It looked at him and he looked back at it in return. Tentatively inching to where he lay, Dick gripped the knife inside his pocket, ready for the worst, if it decided to attack for whatever reason. But just a few inches from him the fox looked into his eyes. This close Dick can see them now a beautiful haunting teal colour, something he hadn't seen on any other creature before, almost otherworldly. And in it's gaze Dick found something familiar, he doesn't know how, but it feels like this fox recognised him. And Dick in turn recognised him too.
He went away after that, leaving him all back alone. Dick contemplated his departure, somehow feeling lighter of his impeding end. After some time, that couldn't be even an hour long if his estimations were right, Dick heard the sound of dogs and people. He screamed his lunges out for them, with as much strength he musterd after much blood loss. Harsh haltings and the sound of shuffling through the snow, Dick looked up in time to see some of the town's hunters with their own hounds and his, coming his way.
"Richard! Thanks the Deity we found you"
"How?" He managed weakly.
"Your hounds came back to town following a fox! Our own joined them and we followed them to get them back to home, because for some reason they weren't listening to orders.", "and we also worried of your dog, as we know of how well trained they are and how they would not dare leave your side... we worried something happened to you"
Dick didn't really pay much attention past the "Fox" he looked around willing to catch him again and he did. It looked at him from far away. Kept on looking for sometime and then trotted away.
Dick thanked the fox and he thanked the gods for sending him to Dick.
The second time Dick met him, was when he was nursing a heavy fever amidst a snow storm. Harsh knocking on his door had awaken him from restless slumber. He wondered what person out of their mind would be out and about at this time, or it simply could be someone seeking refuge at his shamble of a house. Either way Dick readied his hunting knife and riffle. He opened his door with a harsh gush of storm air entering his house blocking it from him, almost protectively, was a younger man. Dick's high fever faced with sudden cold made his mind all fuzzy and dizzy, because he recognised those eyes, and that face looked like it belonged to someone who never got the chance to grow into it. His illness took the better of him, Dick fell into a strong, warm, chest. Wide shoulders and powerful arms engulfed him, warmth seeping into his quivering body.
"Shush, I got you now"
Tears filled his eyes for some reason, from his illness, the cold or the unexpected surge of weird emotions, he doesn't know. He Couldn't have put his fingers on it even as his life quite literally depended on it. With this stranger at his doorstep, and him in such weakened state.
But Dick felt safe. This man would keep him safe.
Dick woke up. His hounds were laying by either side of him. He looked into his room to find doctor Thompkins in a chair by his side.
"Good morning Dick. How are you feeling? Last night must have been a hard one on you."
"I had a simple fever. What are you doing her Dr Thompkins ?"
"I am afraid it wasn't as simple as you'd like to believe.. if not for that young man taking care of you through it, you might have not gone through last night Dick.", "which, answering to your question, was the one to seek me after you had stabilised a bit. Quite the young man he was, to seek me and drag me through the storm to get to you"
Dick's braind was still fuzzy with the memory. He had thought it a hallucination and nothing more. No person should have had those eye. Especially not him.
"Where did he go" he said instead "I don't know. After he got me here he just left without a word, and you know me I don't ask unnecessary question and would rather spend the time and effort tending to my patient" a beat of silence "you don't know him either" a statement not needing a confirmation "you don't know who I know or might not know", "But I do Dick. Everyone dose know how isolated you are and it's a face I haven't seen around town before"
Dick didn't have anything to say to that. He only thought "Maybe it's an envoy from the deity, a guardian angel, if you Will" he declared. And even through the dizziness and fuzziness he felt, he could confirm. That the weight he felt propping him was very real and human.
"Don't be ridiculous, I never sought you as a religious person"
"Hmm" Dick allowed, signalling he wanted the conversation to end. which Leslie allowed easily.
As she finished with directing him to each medicine he was supposed to take, she made a promis to come check on him in the early evening then she left him to his cold empty house again.
Dick stroked his hounds thinking, yearning, was the fox only going to come to him in times of need? Did he only allow himself in Dick's life only when death was at his door steps waiting for him? Did Jason only come to ward the angels of death away from him, because he regarded Dick as something precious to him,but his anger for Dick's neglect and detachment of him made Jason punish Dick by never returning back to his life properly?
Dick left his hands to his eyes slowly. As the weight of his loneliness settled on his shoulders, the tears started to flood. He hoped his hands were enough to shield him from Jason's ever watching eyes, least he be watching now, and so he might blame Dick's pain on his own self.

I know since there's a literal 6 year old involved here that this point won't really matter how larries justify what happens in Louis' real life but I always wondered how they explain the fact that Eleanor's friends literally post pictures from inside Louis' house and watch the dogs when they're both away. Like do they just think all of Eleanor's friends are also being paid to pretend they're also friends with Louis?
Listen to this, hold ya breath, they call Clifford a ‘stunt dog’ 😶😶😶 and yes they think multiple people are in on this elaborate cover up operation to closet two musicians. Who needs facts when you have ✨conspiracies✨
