"Uffington White Horse" (c.1380-550 BCE) / Chauvet Cave Bear (30,000 and 32,000 BP)
UFFINGTON WHITE HORSE: its public landscape art, its from bronze or iron age and people still maintain it and this chain of people working together, even through the original purpose is lost, the art is not, the community aspect of it (anonymous)
CHAUVET CAVE BEAR: I'm not a very emotional person but there's something about prehistoric cave paintings that make me cry my eyes out. There are too many examples (please check out the Altamira cave bisons they're beautiful) but one that never fails to amaze me is the Chauvet Cave Bear. He's painting with so much care, he's only one of hundreds and thousands of paintings in this cave, many of them more detailed, colorful and dynamic than this guy, but there's something about the careful lines that the artist (bc prehistoric people were artists) put on this wall that touches me. It's put in a scene where he's hunted, he's alone, in a peaceful position, possibly rummaging through a bush. The anatomy is maybe even cartoony with its tiny ears and small mouth but it's realistic in all the ways that matter at that time, anybody could look at it and see a bear, the artist had to carefully watch this bear (or many bears) to memorize its lines, it's humps and structure and the scrounge up the materials to paint, and finally put to rock this animal they admired from a distance. The Chauvet Cave has thousands of cave bear remains, estimating 200 individuals. The cave also has a quarter of ALL cave bear depictions in pre-history. That means that whoever painted this bear not only saw one in the wild but lived alongside these animals their entire lives, their culture was deeply locked with them. There's a chamber in this cave with 50 bear skulls, all of them carefully placed. This painting shows so much care and love from people that are often depicted as brute and uncaring but they were just as capable as any current human of not only caring but DEPICTING their love. It's a beautiful early representation of our capability for admiration and cherishing things that weren't essential for basic survival. Also the artist was damn good that bear has so much expression without even having eyes, the line thickness balance is amazing. (athenasabattoir)
(The "Uffington White Horse" is a prehistoric hill figure created by trenches filled with crushed white chalk. It is 110 m (360 ft) long and is located on Whitehorse Hill in England.
The "Chauvet Cave Bear" is a prehistoric cave painting in the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave located in Ardèche, France. This cave contains hundreds of preserved figure paintings from the Upper Paleolithic time period. The central bear is 120 cm (47 in) and was painted using red pigment.)

this is gonna be extremely niche but i cant stop thinking about oscar delancey/davey jacobs as a ship (it's the "understanding each other bc they both would do anything for their lil brothers" trope for me) lmao hear me out:
i occasionally see those posts that frame the delancey brothers as the kind of villain characters that are villains bc they're looking out for each other (which i love btw cuz i love complicated contexts); working for wiesel bc their dad is shitty and that's why they were all for beating up the trolley workers etc etc
anyways, so that's the kind of oscar delancey im working with: he's in it bc he's angry at his dad and the world and he's looking out for his brother. btw im using the livesies versions of them! (height difference hehe)
also i've noticed that he's the less aggressive brother? morris is the one that usually gets in the newsies' faces and spouts derogatory language; oscar's the one who stands back more. just works for him in this context.
davey's a new newsie and he catches oscar's eye bc he's cute and is smart (and oscar is not v smart and educated). in newsies 2017 he actually kind of gives davey's back a once over after davey takes his papers lol so you can construe something from there too.
he gets embarrassed for being called out on not counting properly (he was distracted okay)
he's in this position where he knows it's not great to beat on other people but anything is better than getting beat on, and he's doing this so he and his brother can stay out of the house, but he doesnt actually love how morris gets aggressive like that--it's so much like their father.
(morris obviously has issues there too, they just manifest more in the direction of "well this is the lot that's been drawn for my life so why should i be anything else? my father was so shitty, im just gonna turn into him eventually anyways" sort of mentality :( which is a good starting point for one of those mike faist morris fics where he ends up becoming a newsie to support himself differently lol but this is livesies and this hypothetical fic is about oscar anyways)
oscar feels trapped where he is, and he isnt happy, and he's sure there's more to life than beating on other people--especially when they're just kids like him--but he doesnt see a way out that doesnt end in him and morris both getting the worse end of the stick, or separated or something. and he'd never forgive himself if he got separated from morris.
then comes in the cute boy with the tiny brother (and he thinks about how morris used to be smaller than him too), and the cute boy starts a strike to protest their working conditions and he kind of actually... really admires it? but doesnt want to admit it bc theyre on opposite sides and oscar doesnt want to risk the good parts of his life rn, even if they're kinda meagre emotionally--he and his brother have clean clothes and food on the table and their dad's down for the count for a while, ain't no way he's risking that.
so canon happens like it does, and the newsies win, and the delanceys find themselves once more backing up wiesel and helping count the newspapers to give to the newsies for the day and that's where their story really starts, because all the newsies obviously hate him and his brother and oscar hates most of them too but goddamn it he just cant look away from this davey guy
also might be interesting to play with the idea that the delanceys actually live close to where the jacobs live and oscar recognizes him because he always saw davey and les leave for school in the mornings as he was coming back from distributing papes to the newsies
i dont actually know how theyd start seeing eye-to-eye, esp since davey being willing to give oscar even a second of his day seems like a huge hurdle to jump over.
maybe davey's about to get beat up and oscar intervenes against his better judgement, and davey feels obligated to thank him somehow even if oscar doesn't want him to--even thinks it's a bad idea.
maybe after the newsboy strike, the delanceys' prospects get worse bc after the governer steps in, everyone that was after the newsies suddenly gets a bad rap and money starts to dry up, and davey spots oscar giving morris most of his lunch ("c'mon, mo, you're bigger 'an me anyways. ya need ta eat somethin'.") and suddenly davey finds himself empathizing, and very suddenly quite curious about what their deal is anyways. (oh look another opportunity to make morris a newsie)
maybe oscar actually cant read very well and the newsies, most of whom are actually literate enough to read headlines, get news of this and make fun of him every morning about it, and at first it feels vindicating, but then davey starts to feel bad about it.
probably the last straw is when morris actually makes fun of him too (idk maybe morris was able to go to school longer cuz oscar was actually a newsie himself over in queens or brooklyn or something, when he was much younger, when their dad was still mostly decent but their family was poorer)--anyways, morris "teases" in the way siblings do sometimes when they dont realize theyre poking at a tender spot, and that's about it for oscar, and idk if he has meltdown or just quietly implodes, but davey picks up on it and feels bad enough about it that he offers to teach oscar how to read.
which, wouldnt it be interesting if somehow oscar and spot had been friends growing up, maybe sold together as the youngest newsies in brooklyn, but spot never realizes oscar delancey is him cuz he only ever hears about the delancey brothers from race (and jack), and spot only ever knew oscar by his newsie nickname? and his selling buddy moved away a while ago, and he's always been a little concerned cuz in the months before he moved, more and more bruises appeared on his skin, and once spot tried to convince him to run away and stay at the lodging full-time with the rest of the boys, but the kid refused cuz he needed to stay for his kid brother who doesnt know any better... anyways, spot realizing theyre the same guy could be a (sprace) subplot lol.
and then obviously they get to know each other better and davey helps oscar feel not-so-trapped anymore and maybe the newsies end up reluctantly and begrudgingly adopting the delanceys (after a real apology or two or twenty to crutchie, of course, who always got the worst of it from them) and maybe morris comes to realize how much like his father he's become and doesnt want that for himself, and also sees just how misaligned his and oscars goals actually are and idk they all become better and oscar and davey have a relationship that's hard-won but wirth everything
anyways yeah, i do think they'd be an interesting ship lol. oscar/davey!

I was wondering 👉👈 what do you think of someone having a singing quirk?
Honestly....i have NO singing abilities so I  wierdly have imagine how cool it would be to have that type of quirk? 
Like-here me out on this little sceneario....
---------------
Your in training, a total newbie to Class 1-A. You had just transferred from another Class as your teacher had seen great potential in you from your work...your quirk wasnt as loud or flashy as 1-A, but it definitely had merit for itself. You were desperate to get into 1-A, and now you were just desperate to prove yourself to be worthy enough to stay.
But now it didnt feel so easy- Bakugo stood in front of you, (we all knew I was going to pick Bakugo no surprise there) daunting and menacing as ever, taunting you with his words.
“The hell-how a small fry like you trasnfer into 1-A?” he said haughtily, his voice almost like a knife, slicing into you with its judgement. 
It was your first day in Class 1-A- and as luck would have it, you were forced to spar with Katsuki Bakugo, the resident asshole of the whole class in a match similar to the duels of the Sports Festival. The rules were simple- push your enemy out of the designated “arena” area.
Simple enough...but when your partner is hell bent over winning and taunting you the whole time about how insignificant you were when compared to him, it really made you less than optimistic about a win.
Oh goodie.
You took a deep breathe, your throat forcing down a ball of dry saliva....
vocal chords need cant be dry, you chanted in your mind, that’ll just screw over your quirk if they did.....
Voices began to be heard....a boy with spiky red hair chuckled nervously, trying to reassure you that “Bakugo” didnt mean what he was saying, he just had a “strong personality”
Another with freckles and green hair gulped loudly, all color seeming to drain from his face as a boy with blue hair furiously berated him for being so “disrespectful to our fellow classmates”....
The others whispered, staring at you expectantly... what were you going to do, challenged with this threat in front of you? Bakugo was notorious for being the self proclaimed “next #1 hero” of Class 1-A, everyone in UA torn between hating his guts and admiring his skill. 
“What-not gonna say anything back?” ha taunted, his canines flashing in a wicked grin, “I should have known, someone like you has no fucking place to be he-   he       here-”
The once glaring Katsuki was now suddenly wided eyed- 
there was a song being played,             so muffled,              as if someone had put cotton in his ears-
“My heart is pierced by Cupid,”
He looked frantically in each direction, desperately searching for that voice-what the hell was even happening?
The....the wide blue sky wasnt clear anymore....no...it was-was almost like a burning sunset, a vivid dream, the sky now a hazy purple shooting up to a bright, vibrant orange. It was so strange, so soothing....al  anger melted from his body, his limbs relaxing....
I disdain all glittering gold
The song was getting louder           the more he succumbed to the sound....he actually        -enjoyed-this-      it was so strange, so different, so sweet to listen to....the voice was enchanting,,,,,, melodic,,,,,,,entoxicating.....
There is nothing can console me
A figure was emerging from the fog, its presence rippling the soothing patterns, the mist almost as if coming from their being.
 His vermillion eyes sleepily trained themselves on the figure, his heart beating like a steady drum in his chest....
Its them. They're the voice- 
theyre presence was so soothing, so warm, so inviting..... 
Bakugo somehow found his feet were moving on there own accord,
 clunky as if being controlled from an invisible force
 guiding him to the person he wanted to be to now the most-
Each step made the song louder, making his heart race and glee fill his chest...                  who were they?                What did they look like?                  What did they feel like?                          Oh, god he just wanted to know...so, so badly....
“But my jolly sailor bold”
Bakugo gasped audibly, a feeling like being dunked in freezing col water shooting through his body. 
“What the hell-” he sputtered out, his eyes wild and head spinning. The voice, the fog, the-the person....what was all that-
“Whoa-Katsuki is out!”
A deep, terrible horror washed over Bakugo, his eyes slowly looking down, almost too scared  to look....his classmates began gasping, whispering, pointing down at his feet-
He-he was passed the line, a full foot away from the blaring yellow line that was now behind his reach-
He lost.
Shock turned into frustration, frustration turned to anger, and anger turned to fury.....
So Bakugo did what he knew best
“THE HELL YOU DO TO ME HUH?! THE HELL-HOW DID YOU-” he shrieked at you, his voice oozing out hatred and embarrasment.
It was you. You-your were that voice....that ringing in his ear....how could something so beautiful and so dangerous come from someone as puny as you? You had no flashy quirk, you had nothing that made you more special than him...
But somehow....you beat him....and he couldn't even fight back.....he let you-
He fucking allowed you to beat him and make him look like a fool.
“Its my power,” you stated plainly, a small, annoying ass  smirk gracing your lips. “It allows me to sing and control anyone’s perception of reality. As long as I sing, I can control them.”
You smiled once again, your voice like wind chimes in his ear.
“My quirk name- is Siren.”

Matchup
@salwasr
For starters, my preferred pronouns are she/her and i’m heterosexual😗😗😗 Personality- I laugh A LOT, especially if youre someone i like. my sense of humor is very much Gen Z, its 70% memes and tiktok/vine references. Im also the type of person to tease my friends, not a lot but to the point where my friends have nicknames because of me. i have a hard time controlling my face, even though i have natural stoic face, whenever im talking to people, i can’t help but be expressive.I get mad easily but i cool down even quicker. i cant stay mad because i’ll just end up laughing and start making fun of myself. I LOVE HYPING PEOPLE UPPPP, its second nature for me to start immediately complimenting people on the smallest things. im definitely annoying but most people end being used to it so whatever. Annoying as in I do too much not a bad person JUST TO BE CLEAR. i have a strong sense of justice and often act on my feelings. I use my heart to think if that makes sense. i’d rather not hurt peoples feelings to be successful. A lot of the decisions i make are purely based on how i feel instead of the “better choice” its gets me in trouble but it’s also saved me many times so i’m going to stick to that. friends- i feel like this is important because this tells you what kind of people i surround myself with. For starters, most of my friends have my sense of humor. Very memey and aware of trends. Their personalities vary tho. Theyre either like me but less intense or not like me at all. many of my friends are outgoing and social but a lot of them are grumpy. i get along with everyone because i time manage so that i can spend time all of them Interests- definitely important. i don’t have established hobbies but i have things that I’m very interested in. I’m political and very outspoken, i love arguing with people about politics and stuff like that. I usually debate about human rights and discrimination because i feel as though minorities(of all types) are actively compromised. I also love medicine and biology, i like learning about how things work and what makes certain things work and other not work. Researching also makes me very happy, i love just being obsessed with a certain topic for days and putting all my energy into it. Love language- since this is a match up, im guessing this is very important. My love language is definitely Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch. I crave the validation i never received as a child🙈 just hearing what i mean to other people makes me so happy because it makes me feel like im worth something😗😗😗 even if its just teasing, as long as its from a place of affection then ILL GLADLY BE TEASED Physical touch is something i also crave because HHahaAh im touch deprived 😗✌️✌️✌️ What i want in a relationship- i want someone thats similar to me but also different from me. i definitely want someone that shares my views in life, like it can differ but im not interested in arguing about human right with my lover. if someone with different hobbies, tastes, personality and life is fine to me. i love a relationship where the love IS OBVIOUS. for example, when an usually mean person is soft for their lover???? PLEASE I LIVE FOR THAT STUFF. I want a relationship where cuddles are a necessity, LIKE THERES A WEEKLY QUOTA!! i also want someone uhh freaky- you know... someonewhowantsfuckdaily AHHHH MOVING ON- i love when a relationship where the couple feels like even if the whole world is against them, they dont care because they’ll always be there for each other.
.....................
Hello, Love!
I Honestly found it difficult to pick a guy for you, because you’d suit so many of them! But, the one who I believe will compliment you best is Sasuke! (I almost went with Masamune).
Anyways, hope you enjoy! Thank you for the request.
One of the biggest things that made me think of you two is your sense of humor and personal opinions. Sasuke is from the future, much like you, and will understand/cackle at your Gen-z humor. He loves memes as well, and will probably quote them with you and tease the other warlords who don’t understand.
You both ride on Sasuke’s loyal steed, suddenly stopping due to a fallen tree on the pathway. Sasuke pushes up his glasses from his nose, a mischievous look in his eyes. “Road work ahead? I sure hope it does...”
Sasuke is not the most emotional or expressive person, and is often misunderstood. You are the opposite, and you compliment each other perfectly. He acts upon logic and the greater judgement; he would rather not take risks. You, on the other hand, act upon emotions and your own ideals. He is your rock and you help him venture out of his comfort zone. On occasion this may cause conflict, but he will always hear you out and respect your opinion. 
He’s calm, collected, tries his best to understand everything about you, and is extremely patient. He knows you need to be reminded of his love for you, and makes sure to show you in every way he can. From sly compliments, mild teasing, and buying you gifts on certain occasions when he sees something you may enjoy. Out of everything, his favorite way of showing you his feelings is through physical touch. Behind closed doors, he’s always attached to you. You had a long day and want cuddles? He’s already there. He admires how you hype everyone up, and his composure cracks when you give him compliments. Sasuke can’t contain himself around you!
I can see him taking great joy in surprising you after being gone on missions. Sliding soundlessly through the ceiling in your shared room, kissing you deeply after missing you for far too long. As for bedroom things- he’s down for just about anything and has a drive similar to your own. Although, he’d probably feel more comfortable if you initiate first. A true gentleman.
If you’ve had a bad day, or ever just need to talk; he is always there, all of his attention on you. He’ll pull you close in his arms, rocking you gently in his lap as you talk. He’s silent, but you know he is listening. Sasuke will try and give you logical advice when your done (if you want it). He just wants you to be safe and happy at all times. 
 Sasuke may not be the most social, but he definitely tries his best. Anyone you introduce him to he gets along with. He is still good with people, for the most part. If he were to become acquainted with your friends, with the same sense of humor, he would get along with them quite well!
He has a soft spot for you and only you. He is expressionless with everyone but you, and he is only comfortable talking and opening up to you. You are the love of his life, and he can’t imagine anyone better for him.
Other best possible matches: Masamune, Shingen, Kenshin, Kennyo

im at that stage of fatigue from the day where i’m so tired the fanfiction is writing itself in my mind theough dialogue but i’m too insanely tired to sit down and write it all out and i work a shift in the morning too so i dont even have time ... so ill forget everything come morning
[[MORE]]
psych, ima try to outline it rn
this is after a little sacrifice and also after season of storms and takes place in cidaris (im not clear on if kerack is the capital so season of storms dealt with the proper king of cidaris or if it was just a local kingship but im hcing that cidaris is also a capital city as well as the region/nation).
this is geralt and dandelion going to the grape festival mentioned in a little sacrifice btw
main goal for this is to basically give dandelion more depth and address his identity issues and backstory and just how his character is in general
valdo marx (as far as i am headcanoning in terms of appearance right now) is of course , also a twink and they have similar builds but valdo isnt as skinny as dandelion because he has access to three full meals every day. he has dark brown hair and green eyes, and i might give him the same hair and beard as dandelion from tw3 just to spite cdpr. he used to sport green/purple doublets as an independent artist, but now as the reaident troubadour of cidaris, he’s adopted their emblatic colors (blue and white) and wears a doublet with a sash of these colors. he doesn’t have poofy sleeves, instead he has these ruffs and like... bellbottom sleeves. also this method of embellishing clothes that i learned from a glamour video (it’s @ 4:30ish) called slashing is applicable to his outfits. i think he veers away from tights unlike dandelion, so he wears more breeches than anything. he doesn’t have detailed embroidery like dandelion, but rather patterned/quilted areas with silver and some small pearls added for decoration in these sections as well.
so geralt and valdo have to be placed together somehow in a conversation. basically he wants to #expose dandelion for being a fraud... but he’s not doing it out of Pure Evil, he’s (vaguely) kind of like the lodge of sorceresses in which it’s like, he is only wanting things to be done his way because really he thinks it’s the best way to do things. he’s really a victim of academia, he would be someone that supports the fact that instruments are like $1,000 each.
basically he and dandelion were classmates at oxenfurt and at first hit it off very well and shared notes and thoughts and sexual partners and all was splendid. but they got competitive and valdo HATES that dandelion does NOT come from a family known for music or any kind of art. basically dandelion is a novus homo, but in the world of music, and valdo comes from an established family which has been musically inclined for generations. he feels that ppl like dandelion just wanna go to oxenfurt for shits and giggles and dont take this opportunity seriously because theyre too blinded by their own arrogance to actually learn anything. and he may be right in regards to a lot of other children of wealthy noble families that attend oxenfurt. but dandelion’s case was different and this he does not like to admit. also he hates how dandelion is... inclined to... a life of debauchery... because he feels he perpetuates stereotypes of artists being good for nothing penniless drunkards and lechers, and makes it harder for Real Professionals from Actual Lineage to get a job. also he has a disdain for how dandelion really wanted to travel and admired the “musicians of the world” that never attended some fancy college, and again valdo sees this as him not appreciating the opportunity he was given, because all you ever need to interact with is this little 1 mile by 1 mile square of oxenfurt, and not even the whole city, just the college. also when valdo tells all this to geralt he goes give him a judgemental up and down look like... “julian loves meeting, writing about, and... ahem... fraternizing with... all kinds of ... people.” (he was gonna say “trash,” but geralt has swords and cats eyes, so valdo swallowed that last word). ALSO ALSO valdo thinks dandelion is further destroying the sanctity of academic places like oxenfurt by training good for nothings from other nobody families, like essi daven, who was actually from a noble family but one not too rich because it was kind of distant from the ruling family. and since she threw a fit they let her do her own thing instead of marrying her off.
also valdo is like “julian— ahem, ... ‘dandelion,’ as you know him... i don’t know why he uses that absurd little nickname,” because he just finds the idea of a pseudonym stupid (since hes from a famous musical family of course he wants to highlight his lineage). and again he dislikes how dandelion is Corrupting Others by not only mentoring essi at oxenfurt, but training her in an “unorthodox fashion,” ie they just duet and talk shit about random stuff and he advises her weird things like “get a cool fake name so all the girls have something to scream as you go on stage”
as they interact with each other, valdo and dandelion actually are kind of opposite of dandelion and essi. they dont throw ANY snide remarks and keep it all under wraps with just pleased smiles and then as soon as theyre out of earshot (a long way for bards) theyre like “i am going to take the replacement strings of my lute and choke the lights out of that tone-deaf idiot” ... geralt is like 😳 to see aggression in dandelion and hes a bit intimidated at first but then is like Bro Are you Fucking Okay ????? Because its so unnatural for dandelion to be Actually Upset about something and not be ok within half a day
scene where dandelion is staring at the mirror and geralt is like you have been staring at the mirror for a long time, even by your standards... dandelion is like “i have to change something... geralt, look at me. look at me. (says it again bc geralt didnt look up the first time). if you could change one thing about my face, what would it be?” and geralts obviously like “nothing.” and dandelions like dont be fucking difficult just tell me i need to know i need your opinion and geralt is like that IS my opinion i sincerely like your face the way it is. something something blah blah blah tenderness geralt says smth like dandelion you have a lot of loyal fans okay...... and hes trying to refer to himself but he doesnt wanna say it aloud
i think something about dandelion talking about who he was (basically referring to “julian” in the 3rd person) and just very uncharacteristically self-loathing but them he pops back into his little arrogant self ... basically he covers that everyone Fucking Laughed at him for wanting to sing but he did it and now he’s the best and also, sexy. in this whole scene (same scene as last bullet point) he is also saying that he needs to “prove himself” and geralt is just like What More Can You Do, You Are Literally Famous... but dandelion is just pensive about it
also he says something like “theres two versions of me... julian with a dream who nobody knows, and dandelion who’s famous and loved.” and geralts like “theres three.” “three?” “there’s also dandelion, the one i know, who, it doesn’t matter if he’s famous or what, because i just like him and enjoy his company.” BECAUSE i dont know how not to be blunt and not hit my readers over the head with what i wanted to get across. geralt is a blunt man however so i think its acceptable to do this
basically this fic is “dandelion can have little a OOCness for character development”
tbh its not too ooc (hopefully) bc hes not like downright depressed, hes just pensive, like he is when hes trying to think of a good title or rhymes and nothing is working. nothing is working! hes frustrated!!!
i have nooooo idea how to resolve this conflict ive introduced. i think valdo and dandelion have to sing a duet together and it is like skating on thin ice with sharks underneath . MAYBE valdo gets possessed by,, something? not a demon bc IVE HAD ENOUGH GOETIA AFTER SEASON OF STORMS but you know An Entity, and dandelion is like wow this is an improvement!! and geralts like no it isnt, now i have to exorcise this fucker
also throughout this i think that the king and queen of cidaris (maintaining that kerack isnt the capital and is just another kingship within the nation) looooveveeveveeee dandelion and his presence and are like oh dandelion you are always welcome in our court :) which also totally pisses valdo off because its like dandelion came into his work/home and fucked both of his bosses and is trying to steal their loyalty through Sexual Appeal. which. may ring true. but dandelion does stuff for fun and not for manipulation soooo valdo is a little wrong in thinking dandelion is manipulating them. and this also adds to valdos resentment of dandelion for being so promiscuous and also writing about his love affairs bc he feels it detracts from The Art...
basically this fic is also me telling academia and ppl who feel art should be limited to a certain crowd to go stuff it cause no one cares and creativity and learning is only human of anyone. also an excuse to give dandelion character depth and also an excuse to break how geralt is always the gloomy one and dandelion has to cheer him up, i think though they do have their strong personalities, relationships should ideally go both ways in terms of emotional support so it shows geralt has the capacity to support a dandelion with festering anger and personal identity problems. also a way for geralt to learn a little abt dandelions backstory without learning/spoiling the fact that hes a v*scount and actually noble and wealthy (they just refer to his family as being wealthy enough to pay for oxenfurt which is significant but not astounding)

OH MY GOD I HATE THIS GAME I HATE THIS GAME I HATE THIS GAME!!!
this final 4 is absolutely amazing and i literally love all of them so much, but that just makes things 10x worse. i think that playing my idol on daisy was a huge risk and the fact that it is now a final 2 makes things a bit more interesting. my ideal plan was to have daisy in the final 4 with me so that i wouldnt be the next target, but now that she won immunity it just didnt work out how i intended at all!!
voting out jules and szymon is purely going to come down to which one of them will sway my way and it's going to hurt to send one of them to jury no matter what, but i just feel like i came all this way and not making top 3 would just suck so badly. so yeah, this sucks. i hate that no matter what i do im going to be upsetting people and hurting feelings but... i guess that's just the game! at this point im not even sure if i can win against daisy but it seems like she will take me, it just depends on whether or not i stay loyal to her if i win FIC or if i take whoever is with me in final 3.
much to think about, BUT I JUST CANT BELIEVE I MADE IT THIS FAR !!!!

someone (zach) asked me to rank the jurors from nicest to meanest...so here we go. ily all <3 <3
1. seamus (this will def come as a surprise, but seamus was the most levelheaded and nice one on the jury. he really never made a bitter comment even though he had every right to, especially at me/daisy/dylan and really anyone who was in after him except chips. like. he was the only person to reach out in pms after and it was immediate, he really comforted me and i really admire men who can have like good relationship w/ women that are platonic??? i know he's been like terrible in the past and i did call him on some stuff in hydravivor and ill be the FIRST to admit that i called him a crackhead on a daily basis but i think he's grown a lot!!!!!! idk. i think he's also the MOST self aware!!!! im a seamus stan, what about it?)
2. brandan (while brandan was kinda irrelevant game wise this season -- but not in our hearts -- he was very objective and a peacemaker. he had good reason to be MIA too so the fact that he got as far as he did means to me that he did form some strong social connections. and he did!!! with me, i think w/ conor, so idk, he had a role like i did in the game imo. i really liked him and he really brought a fresh perspective on things!!!)
3. szymon (he's only not ranked higher bc he's pissed off rob and he stands his ground a lot more outwardly than the first two, at least in the jury chat. also he's not had as much time as a juror. but even then, i think szymon is not a bad guy like some of the ppl make him out to be. like, idk, i think he made a mistake on a game level and he even admitted it and idk he's a legend. truly. im so glad to have met him and i think he was a really nice juror to have around while he was ACTUALLY around bc he stood up for me/daisy the way seamus did)
4. lovelis (lovelis makes some pointed comments but.....he's not dumb at all and so i don't think he's been bitter. also his pointed comments have been funny and mostly radiating the energy of the other Bitter Jurors so idk. i really like him on a personal level as well and have for a while so idk. i dont KNOW KNOW him but he's never been the type to make harsh comments without them having some merit to them. so i kinda trust his judgement even though he wasnt in the game long/an early merge boot. idk i think he's open minded enough and he's also someone who admits when he's done a Lil Too Much but he's really lovely. just competitive.)
5. chips (i dont think chips is MEAN per se, in fact, i dont think he has a mean bone in his body on a personal level. like WFIJFJIFWE I DONT KNOW HOW ELSE TO SAY IT HES SO FUCKING NICE!!!!!!! but thats why it's so funny to see him in games bc he's a lil lying, a lil backstabby and sometimes he's a lil passive aggressive. but its not undeserved. its also a pisces thing WEFJIEIEJWEFJIWEF i think what i saw in the jury house was sometimes chips going along w/ things, but i dont know, i really do not know much about chips game and ill probs ask him more afterwards?? but idk he was REALLY nice to me tho so FWIJFWEWFIFW i just dont trust him in games.......i dont know whats on his mind half of the time......)
I WANNA SAY FOR THE NEXT 3 MEN THEYRE HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THEIR FIRE SIGN PLACEMENTS SO while i know some of them do hold resentment, its a lot easier to deal with and work with and with all 3 of them we've talked it out with/are going to talk it out. only #8 has been the MOST stubborn but idk imma let him do his thing & try not to pass too much judgement u know cause i dont need to waste my braincells on that
6. conor (knowing conor's astrological placements makes this make sense to me. but i wanna say that i think he's the type of leo to like be upfront, get it out, vent, and be fine? which is why i respect him a lot and i think we do have a mutual respect for each other. some of the comments he made were kinda rude tho and him fake liking astrology for social game was SO UGLY TO ME!!!! like i'll clown him for it for as long as i know him now cause....JOKE'S ON HIM!!!!!!! WJOEFWEOWEFO but that was kinda mean but def conor's come around and seen the light / has also reached out to me to talk. he's also admitted he left a mean speech in sbbb9 and regretted it so i think he might just shoot off at the mouth a bit. but BETTER THE DEVIL U KNOW THAN THE ONE U DONT and i appreciate the transparency NOW as opposed to the fakeness of him saying he liked astrology for social game. THIS IS A HILL I WILL DIE ON!!!!! im a fan of leos tho and he's a leo moon like me. so. i think we'll be fine. )
7. rob (i actually really REALLY like rob on a personal level but i really do not know if i could play another game with him, at least survivor, id be open to playing bb. i think ill say that the best thing about rob is that he's also apologized, was one of the first to when i confronted them all, me and him have a good personal relationship tbh!! but some of the game comments he made were p harsh and he's definitely a lil bitter but again, he's admitted it, i think while he's more up front -- i dont think i ever wanna be on his bad side in a game. EVER!!! cause we didnt even have any loyalty to each other in the game but he was SO harsh on my game like it was wild bc i dont think id ever be that harsh to ANY OF THEM ABOUT THEIR GAMES LIKE THAT???? anyways. its fine bc again he's apologized and he's owned it but PHEW he got a lil bit of a sharp tongue. really eloquent tho!!!!!!!!!!! love hearing him speak)
8. gage (last but least the southern belle himself................this man an aries and i dont know his other signs but him being an aries man is enough. they POP OFF!!!!!! a lot of times there's some truth to it, sure, but sometimes they just be popping off and FOR WHAT!!!!! i do understand gage's frustrations though but even he apologized for being too mean in HIS FUTURE FUCKING CONFESSIONALSSSSSSSS TO MEEEEEE so. idk. he's got an issue with letting things go in games and miss annajane calls him on a lot of BS and it does NOT seem to really knock him down but. gage is really wht u see is what u get, doesnt really own his faults but at least u kinda know where ur at w/ him. but he's still probs the meanest one in there but i do understand from a game level why he was so fucked up about it, especially after hearing FTC. its just that. i understand his position. BUT HE NEEDS TO TAKE A XANAX SOMETIMES I S2G GAGE I WILL GIVE YOU ONE!!! girl it is NOT that serious!!!!!!)
also forgot to mention that i admitted to gage that chris from s1 was NOT actually my brother and his jaw was on the floor <3 I GOT TO DO ONE TROLL THING RIGHT!!!!!! rip me/seamus' showmance serious!!!!!!)
okay just to add onto my last confessional -- the songs i think represent me best from this playlist game wise are: - perfect for you - punchin' bag - stayin' alive - flip - femme fatale/future nostalgia (for the girls alliance that never was....rip but also me/daisy at merge vibes) - X - the shortchange - TAKE ME AS I AM!!!!! THAT SONG IS THE ONE THATS BECOME MY SONG!!!! for this game especially!!!!! - over yet (the lyrics literally speak for themselves) - tough on myself (sorry for stealing ur song vincent) - seven devils - villains pt. 1 (i dont think i was a villain but i did stuff in this game that i usually dont and would consider villainous for myself FEWIWFEJIFEW i was in my feelings!) - passion & pain taste the same when i'm weak (me coming into the jury house and realizing they'd all snatched my wig w/ the edges and the glue.....i DID cry to this song for at least 2 hours! yes i did! WIFJWJIWEIJE) - tar ('under the stars -- pull yourself from the tar'. at the end of the day, this season was fucking stacked and there wasn't one person who was a bad player at all. at all.stars, if you will. i was under a lot of stars and from all the breakdowns in my game to me actually breaking down -- i GOTTA PULL MYSELF FROM THE TAR!!!! learn!! grow!! be better!!)
TOP 5 (not 'perfect for you'): - punchin' bag - take me as i am - over yet - tough on myself - tar
good for my whole journey imo!! the last 3!!! okay this is my ACTUAL last confessional okay thank u for everything!!! bye!!!

and here's my personal playlist for the org: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2E8KGCo1SrBgoJIQ9DycfM?si=96PWq-6ERCyisacQr3zPww
Tumblr media
it is literally an hour and a half until the winner reveal and i really just have no idea what's going to happen. like in the back of mind i just have a feeling that im losing bc, yeah you know self-deprecation woo! but yeah idk i think i really gave this game my all and while i dont think i played it flawlessly, i still think i played a strong game i can be proud of :,)
having it be a live final tribal for my first ever like, jury questioning was just--- ugh wild but i actually think it went really well. just based on what people were saying it definitely seemed as if some of the jurors didnt really want to see me and daisy at the end or like, really werent consider voting for me but i think i was definitely able to sway some people who were willing to listen and definitely gave some of the jurors something to think about. so whether or not i win i do think that i had a really great final tribal performance, maybe it was even enough to sway enough people into giving me their vote?? WHO'S TO SAY
anyways this has been such a wild experience and it's surreal to think that it's ending in like, a little over an hour but no matter what happens i can say confidently that i will be able to look back on this season fondly and will be leaving it with my head held high bc I REALLY DID THIS LIKE!!! I REALLY MADE IT TO THE END!! WOW I STILL CANT GET OVER IT HAHAHA!! but yeah bye forever <33

If you’re accepting, an AU of Zadison I would love to see: zadison in harry potter, where madison’s a slytherin and zoe’s the hufflepuff or gryffindor she knows she shouldn’t hit on out of rivalry but divination says they’re meant to be :D Your fics on AO3 about them were FANTASTIC, by the way! Thank you for those.
who’s to fight it? (it’s your future)
words: 3,017
(this truly got longer than i expected but…here it is! also check out madison and zoe’s hogwarts moodboards i made)
When Professor Day pairs her students up for her activity of the day, Madison is pleasantly surprised when she finds herself working with Gryffindor Zoe Benson.
Madison wasn’t really listening to any of Professor Day’s lecture, but she’s pretty sure it has something to do with killing a plant and then reviving it or something dumb like that. Either way, Zoe’s smart and was probably hanging onto their professor’s every instruction.
She adjusts her silver and green tie as Zoe approaches.
“Were you even listening at all?” Zoe lightly teases.
Madison rolls her eyes. “We’ll be fine.”
She and Zoe aren’t friends - Madison would really rather not call a Gryffindor a friend - but they’re friendly enough towards each other. Madison has a reputation of being a bitch, which she proudly encourages and lives up to, but Zoe has never once seemed afraid of her or judgemental of her.
Of course, Zoe isn’t excused from Madison’s jabs, but she always takes them in stride, either rolling her eyes or shrugging it off. Madison kind of admires that, really.
Actually, Madison’s always thought Zoe’s cute. She’s kind of hot too, like when she’s kind of pissed or when she wears that proud smirk when someone tries to correct her in class only for them to be incorrect and Zoe to be completely right and follow through with an execution of whatever spell they’re learning.
However, Madison would be caught dead before she ever hit on a Gryffindor. She’s a Slytherin for crying out loud; she can’t go around fraternizing with the likes of Zoe just because she’s cute and Madison’s bored.
(And yes, it might be because Madison is a little competitive and their two houses have a rivalry that runs deep.
So what?)
“Are you going to get us started or should I just do it all myself?”
Madison quirks an eyebrow at Zoe’s slight hint of sass, clearly impressed. Zoe only looks at her expectantly, so after a moment Madison lets out a scoff.
“Fine,” she says before she’s waving her hand over the plant and murmuring a few words in latin.
The plant wilts on command, looking very much dead, and Madison turns to Zoe with a smirk.
“See? Easy.”
Zoe simply rolls her eyes at Madison, now placing her hand over the plant and reciting a few different words in latin.
Madison can’t help but be slightly entranced; Zoe recites spells with such conviction and focus. She turns her head when Zoe finishes, watching as the plant comes back to life effortlessly, like it’s been meant to do that all along.
“Miss Montgomery, Miss Benson,” Professor Day says with a smile. “Excellent execution.”
Zoe beams. “Thank you, Professor.”
Madison snorts when Professor Day passes. “See? I told you.”
Zoe rolls her eyes and laughs, and Madison tries not to be so affected by the pure sound.
And Madison wants to add something else, something that she knows can get Zoe’s cheeks to match the red on her own tie, but she stops herself.
She can’t do that, not with Zoe.
//
Madison knows she’s a powerful witch.
She’s known it for as long as she can remember, both of her parents coming from a magical line of wizards and witches tracing all the way back as far as Madison’s concerned.
However, the one thing she doesn’t seem to be mastering any time soon is divination. She just kind of thinks it’s ridiculous, who even needs divination  that seriously anyway? Madison’s a firm believer of creating your own future - or whatever bullshit people spew out these days.
This particular frustration, however, comes to her in divination class because Madison sucks at every kind of divination. What’s even more annoying though is she sits next to Nan, a Ravenclaw who somehow knows things most people don’t, and she’s really fucking good at this.
“It’s not hard,” Nan shrugs when they study Tessomancy.
Madison’s gaze snaps up from her stupid tea leaves to glare at her classmate.
“We get it bitch, you’re some prophet or some shit,” she sneers.
Nan is unbothered by her jab though, and goes back to her tea leaves. Madison peers at her own just to see nothing more than soggy tea leaves that should probably be thrown out.
Madison is honestly ready to give up on the class - who cares if Professor Goode borderline fails her, really it’s just stupid divination - when they get around to crystal gazing.
“You want me to look at this dumb crystal ball and see my future?” Madison scoffs. “This class is so dumb.”
Professor Goode gives Madison a look. “Will you just try it, Madison? Nan will help you.”
Nan smiles at her, but Madison only rolls her eyes and lets out another scoff. Professor Goode sighs and moves on to another set of students, clearly just as exasperated with Madison as the girl is with her class.
And it takes some push and pull from both of them, but Madison finally gives in, relaxing completely and the fog finally decides to change.
What she sees confuses her and intrigues her all at the same time, and when Nan asks what she sees, she’s back to her normal self.
“None of your goddamn business.”
(She thinks about it the rest of the day, the rest of the week.)
//
Madison refuses to talk to anyone - especially Nan, who somehow looks like she knows exactly what Madison saw - about what she saw in that stupid crystal ball.
She doesn’t tell anyone because it’s stupid and dumb, and how accurate is this shit anyway?
Yet it feels like she can’t escape it, no matter how hard she tries because she’s in the library - thank you Professor Goode for being an ultimate pain in the ass - when she sees none other than Gryffindor Zoe Benson.
It wouldn’t be such a problem seeing Zoe - besides the fact, you know, most Gryffindors are the biggest pain her ass - but when she sees the brunette she’s immediately brought back to divination and what she saw and really, she’s still trying to wrap her mind around it.
That stupid crystal ball made one thing very clear: she and Zoe are supposed to end up together.
Madison almost scoffs out loud in the library when the thought appears in her mind again because just look at Zoe. She’s got her nose buried in a book and looks actually pleased to be spending an afternoon in the library of all places reading a book. Her eyes are lit up with wonder and she’s so lost in her reading and - okay, she actually looks kind of cute like this.
But the point is, how the fuck is Madison even supposed to end up with someone like Zoe Benson?
Zoe’s, like, a complete nerd even if she is friends with Mallory, who’s one of those popular Quidditch players. And more importantly Zoe’s a Gryffindor. Madison knows better than to date someone like that; she’s a goddamn Slytherin for crying out loud.
//
Zoe Benson is starting to pop up everywhere.
They’re in the same year so seeing each other around isn’t much of a surprise, but Madison swears the universe is out to get her.
She feels like everywhere she turns, Zoe is somehow also in the same place at the same time. Madison’s passed her in the hallways between classes and to and from meals more times than she can count. When she has to go to the library, Zoe is in there either by herself or with a friend or two studying or reading.
(Which, Madison will admit sometimes she plans her trips because she knows a certain Gryffindor will be in there.
Sue her.)
It’s getting ridiculous actually, how all she can think about is Zoe and her dumb smile and how smart she is and how she doesn’t take anyone’s shit and -
God dammit, Madison. Get a grip.
“You’re thinking too loud.”
Madison whips her head to look at Nan. The girl is writing her notes in her notebook, not even bothering to meet Madison’s gaze.
“What are you talking about?”
“If this is about whatever you saw when were crystal-gazing, it’s obviously going to happen,” Nan states in a matter-of-fact tone as she finishes writing the last of her sentence before dipping her quill into the ink while Madison gapes at her. “So you might as well stop fighting it.”
It’s now that Madison wonders if it’s even possible for the likes of wizards and witches to be clairvoyant because she’s pretty sure Nan is. It’s like she’s in Madison’s head.
“I didn’t see anything,” she snaps, trying to brush off the conversation as she turns her attention back to her half-written notes. “And even if I did, I wouldn’t care. This shit is stupid.”
Nan simply says, “I think we both know I’m right.”
A scoff drops from Madison’s lips as she turns and looks at Nan again, expecting the smaller girl to at least elaborate. When Nan doesn’t, Madison rolls her eyes and grabs her quill pen from the ink bottle, trying to block out all and any thoughts of the crystal ball and Zoe Benson.
//
When Madison walks into Professor Goode’s classroom well after classes have finished, she’s greeted by a slightly confused look.
“Miss Montgomery,” she greets with slight confusion, but a smile nonetheless. “What can I do for you?”
“I was wondering if I could practice my crystal-gazing,” Madison tells her a little too simply. “Nan has been trying to work with me outside of class, but, you know, kind of hard to actually practice without a crystal ball.”
Professor Goode is surprised by her answer, but she lights up at the prospect of Madison actually putting in effort to succeed in her class. The Slytherin resists the urge to roll her eyes at the expression.
“Of course,” Professor Goode nods, standing from her chair and making her way to the back of the classroom.
Madison follows her slowly, arms crossed and fingers tapping against her robe.
Professor Goode retrieves one of her crystal balls and hands it over to Madison.
“You can use it in here,” she informs the young witch. “Just make sure you put it back after.”
Madison offers the tiniest of smiles. “Thank you, Professor.”
Professor Goode gives her one last nod before she returns to her desk in the front of the classroom.
Madison slips into the first row of desks she sees and places the crystal ball in front of her. She exhales slowly, letting herself relax before she focuses her attention on the crystal ball before her. It takes a few moments, but the fog is beginning to clear.
The first scene she sees is herself and Zoe in an empty corridor, this Madison pulling Zoe by her collar and kissing her senseless. She watches as Zoe giggles against Madison’s lips and Madison smiles against her lips.
The next scene must be a few years later, Madison guesses they might even be graduated from Hogwarts by then, but they walk down a street, holding hands. This Madison looks happy and her eyes shine when they look at this older Zoe, who is pulling her along and into a bookstore.
The following scene brings Madison to what looks like a flat. She recognizes herself and Zoe, a few years older than they were in the last scene. Zoe is curled up on the couch reading a book. Older Madison enters the scene, wearing an oversized sweater and probably not much else, and she walks behind the couch before she’s leaning over to wrap her arms around Zoe’s shoulders from behind.
Zoe shifts back comfortably against her, and Madison lets out a content sigh before she’s leaving kisses all over Zoe until Zoe cannot focus on her book anymore. Zoe tugs Madison over the couch with a yelp from the blonde, and they’re laughing and kissing and saying “I love you.” This Madison is wearing a ring.
The final scene Madison sees is much farther in the future. She and Zoe are white-haired and old and everything Madison somewhat dreads about aging, but they are in a kitchen where Zoe cooks dinner and Madison is perched at the counter watching. Zoe lets Madison taste whatever she has cooking and Madison beams at her before Zoe is kissing her sweetly. This Madison’s eyes are full of love and appreciation and something Madison has always been longing for.
When the fog fully returns, Madison blinks a few times before pulling herself away from the crystal ball. She’s quiet after, mulling over the scenes she’s seen again and the thoughts running through her mind.
She returns the crystal ball and quietly thanks Professor Goode before walks out, trying to truly process what she’s known for weeks.
She and Zoe are meant to be.
//
It’s the weekend trip into Hogsmeade and Madison decides at the last minute to go. The weather is nice outside; it’s evident by the sheer increase of people on the train this time around and how excited they are once they arrive, practically flying out of the train as soon as the doors open.
Madison takes her time and strolls around; it reminds her often of when she was much younger and her parents would talk of taking a trip to Hogsmeade back during their days at Hogwarts, telling Madison that she’d long for her weekend trips there.
She’s passing by Honeydukes when she recognizes a certain brunette wandering the street by herself. For a moment, Madison hesitates. She chews her bottom lip, almost stopping in her tracks.
The rivalry inside of her won’t just quit it - this much she knows - but she thinks about what her future’s supposed to be like. She reminds herself how the Madison she’d seen in the crystal ball had everything that she’s felt like she’s missing and has been longing for.
She quickens her pace, falling into step with the other girl.
“What, did all your friends ditch you?”
Zoe looks at Madison and shakes her head, a smile appearing on her features. “Hello to you too, Madison.”
Madison gives her an amused look. “Let me guess, you told them you were going to Tomes and Scrolls and they  all decided they have better things to do.”
“And what’s wrong with Tomes and Scrolls?” Zoe asks, mildly offended.
“God Benson, you’re such a nerd,” Madison tells her.
“Some of us actually enjoy learning, you know.”
Madison smirks. “I know; you’re kind of hot when you’re all concentrated in the library.”
Initially, Zoe’s cheeks flush. She ducks her head, attempting to let her face hide the way she’s been affected by Madison’s words. Madison resists lighting up at the reaction.
“I…Are you spying on me in the library, Montgomery?”
Madison shrugs, tossing her hair behind her shoulder. “I know how to appreciate a view when I see one, that’s all.”
She notices how Zoe bites her lip, but not before a smile starts to spread. Her cheeks are still flushed, and she’s left somewhat stuttering because Madison is completely catching her by surprise.
Madison knows she’s got Zoe right where she wants her.
“Come on nerd,” she says suddenly, beginning to walk ahead of Zoe.
“Where are we going?”
“Did you not want to go to Tomes and Scrolls?”
Zoe frowns. “You just…”
Madison rolls her eyes, reaching out and pulling Zoe’s hand to tug her forward. “Let’s go before I change my mind.”
Zoe looks from their hands to Madison’s expectant expression. She manages a nod, letting Madison hold her hand until the blonde lets go.
And Madison may complain about books and how boring it is the whole time, but she sure has fun making Zoe blush and stutter with every other comment.
//
“Madison, I’m trying to study,” Zoe huffs. “You should be too, you know.”
“I’m tired of studying,” Madison tells her. “Can’t we like, do anything else?”
“And what would you like to do?”
Madison’s eyes light up, she smirks.
Right where she wants her, yet again.
“I could think of a few things I’d do to you.”
Zoe blushes furiously, Madison’s name coming off as a hiss on her lips before she’s turning back to her books and pointedly not looking at the blonde.
Madison grins wide, leaning back in her chair comfortably.
//
Hogsmeade becomes a regular activity for Madison and Zoe, as in going together.
This time when they go, Madison slips her hand into Zoe’s like it’s the most natural thing in the world. There’s slight surprise on Zoe’s face, but she doesn’t say a word.
Madison holds her hand for basically the whole trip, with exceptions of entering stores and eventually the pub.
Zoe doesn’t mind, she likes when Madison intertwines their fingers, how someone who outwardly seems so cold feels so warm in her grasp. She doesn’t pull away even when Madison has her flushed and stuttering, like always.
(And sure, maybe Zoe’s friends raise their eyebrows, and she owes them an explanation later.
But Madison’s threatening look is enough for them to mind their own business for now.)
//
Madison swears she’s waiting for Zoe to finally make a move.
She is, but Zoe is just so adorably cautious, so afraid for pulling the trigger and going in.
So Madison gives in.
Zoe is in the middle of explanation some spell or another to Madison when Madison tugs the front of her sweater and pulls her in. Their lips meet and it’s clear Zoe wasn’t expecting this at all, but she melts when Madison kisses her and it’s enough for Madison to know this is exactly where she needs to be.
“Oh,” Zoe says when Madison pulls away.
She looks dazed and utterly adorable and it’s hard enough for Madison not to pin her up against the wall immediately.
“What?” Madison asks playfully, an amused expression on her face. “You didn’t think I was flirting with you just for fun now, did you?”
It makes Zoe laugh before she replies, “You’re such a smart ass” and pulls Madison in for another kiss.
