Probably sound like a madman, but hear me out

Each character’s song represents them, through and through. (I’m just doing the 6 from the GPF because know most about them (except maybe Otabek but like ... we don’t know much about him #littlescreentime)

How? Well (TIME FOR SOME PROOOOOF)

This got hella long. TL;DR: the YOI creators knew where they were going with their characterizations and managed to convey this through each of the program’s music

Details under the cut.

Viktor’s First skate: Stammi Vicino

We first are introduced to this character with a self assured “Commemorative photo?” after he comments on Yuri’s program at the GPF. But his first skate we see actually gives us a deeper insight into who he was at the beginning of the series.

I mean, this doesn’t scream “I’M SO PUMPED BECAUSE I KNOW I’M GONNA WIN” this is like “wow i’m all alone this kinda sucks”.

At this point, we have concluded he was lonely, what with all the meta on how empty and cold his apartment looks; there’s no personal effects, and it was noted that he was able to pack up everything in about a week.

Yuuri’s SP: On Love: Eros

Now I know all of you are like: wtf?

But hear me out. After the events of ep 10, we know that Yuuri has this locked up personality that he lets loose for people he’s close to, when he’s on the ice, or when he’s incredibly drunk (Kids don’t drink 16 glasses of champagne. The outcome is bad; if you don’t have alcohol tolerance you’ll barf your guts out before passing out or if you do you’ll end up pole dancing and not remember the night at all THIS HAS BEEN A PSA).

(side note: DAYYYUM SON)

Celestino, as a coach, has picked songs he feels like Yuuri would skate to, which means they were probably very much like Yuuri himself; reserved, quiet, witty, determined, etc. All of this eros is held back by an incredibly vulnerable Yuuri who wants to get through life while rocking the boat as little as possible. So the fact that Viktor comes along and says “Ah yes you’re skating to this.” he was like wtf. But this is truly him and everything he wishes he could be - confident, sexy, someone who is equal to Viktor in every way.

(That’s my theory on why he was insistent he make Yuri on Ice equal difficulty to Viktor’s program)

Yuri’s FP - Yuri On Ice

So.

As said by the commentators, this song was used by Yuuri to express the different types of loves he feels. As you watch, he mentions all the feelings etc. etc.

But - Love.

Yuuri has finally gotten love. It’s why the FP was record breaking. He’s gone and he’s fallen in all sorts of love with everyone. Don’t get me wrong - I’m not saying he’s just discovered love. He’s loved his family and friends and we get to see that in all the interactions he has with them, which is wonderful. But he finally realises that they love him as much as he loves them. Which makes him fill with more love and determination.

Not only that, but this piece is kinda.... a walk down memory lane. He’s gotten someone to capture his career, and if you listen to the music, it tells you exactly where he was dragged down and how he was able to rebuild himself and become even stronger. This song is Yuuri summed up in 3 minutes. You listen to that, and you know exactly who he is.

Yuri’s SP - On Love: Agape

Yuri is innocent and pure and for some reason, his Russian team (and the Hero of Kazakhstan along with Japan’s top figure skater) all love him.

Ahem.

There’s no other way to put this. Yea ok he’s angry and yells and likes to threaten people (I mean.. same), but he’s very much like a kitten - he can really do no harm.

(He’s got nicer hair than I do (also look at how innocent he looks)).

But Yuri is very innocent. He’s only 15 years old, and sure, he’s travelled the world. But he hasn’t seen much of the real world. His entire life is figure skating. He eats, breathes, and sleeps it. So he lives in what essentially can be considered a bubble.

To the real world - he’s an innocent bean (it’s probably why they call him the Russian Fairy). And I think that he knows this, which is why he postures so much; all that anger and aggression keeps people away, like it kept Yuuri away at first, so that no one knows how young he really is (even though they say his age at every skating event).

Yuri’s FS - Allegro Appassionato in B Minor (RIP pianist)

To start, I’m going to translate this name (I don’t speak Italian, but I have studied music for the last 16 years AND I did ballet for 10 years, so I do know what these terms mean).

Allegro - the musical definition is bright, quickly, lively. However! In ballet, the term is the same, but it is applied to airborne movements (side note I just rewatched his ep 12 skate trying to get a good photo and he actually adds in a quad! So he’s airborne! ish!)

Appassionato - passionately; play with passion.

(if this doesn’t scream PASSION i don’t know what does)

But Yuri is passionate. He’ll fight for what he believes in, as commented on by Otabek’s monologue (”Yuri Plisetsky had the eyes of a soldier”) and, I’ll bet someone dinner at a place of my choosing, he’ll fight for anyone he accepts into his family. This boy just has so much passion for figure skating (and cats. Definitely loves cats.) that it’s absolutely incredible - it’s something that can’t be contained and yes, he has to work for it, but with that passion, drive and determination he has, this song is essentially all him.

Phichit’s SP - Shall We Skate?

This pure bean.

Honestly, just listening to the music, you get a sense of who Phichit as a person really is. He’s upbeat, enthusiastic, (JUST LIKE THE MUSIC!!) and overall he just seems like the type of person who can just make you smile purely by existing.

He’s encouraging and supportive and I think he was skating as the Skater, because the lyrics tell us the King was trying to learn to skate. The skater, much like Phichit, is showing the King how to skate, and basically being the best cheerleader in the world as the King skates.

Yuuri and him were roommates in Detroit; Phichit would have been incredibly supportive and encouraging because he’s the Purest Cinnamon Roll Ever.

He’s just so fucking supportive idk what else to say ok.

Phichit’s FS - Terra Incognita

So this piece is also upbeat and features a relatively happy overall mood. It’s somewhat inspired by South East Asian music (I’m not sure what part of South East Asia, but I feel that Indian vibe to it) which I really enjoyed.

But again, this just summarises the picture we’re given of Phichit. Granted this is all painted from Yuuri’s POV, who is literally the most unreliable narrator. But that one bit we got from Viktor regarding Phichit shows that Viktor actually is in agreement with Yuuri’s ideas.

So from that, we can conclude that Phichit is incredibly supportive and loving, not just to his friends, but to people who his friends love as well.

Chris’ SP- Intoxicated

So the first opening bit reminded me of Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. But once I got over that, this song is sexy, and sauve, just as we all know (and love) Chris to be.

This piece kinda .. flows, for lack of a better word. To be honest, listening to this song when I’m not looking at this dork’s face (or butt) makes me think of those scenes where the dude emerges from the water, and we get a slow close up of a drop of sweat falling down his chest or smth.

This song, at the very essence, is exactly who Chris is. He’s confident, mature, and just oozing sexual pleasure. It’s a nice contrast to Yuuri’s Eros, which wasn’t as sophisticated as this one is. This is essentially pleasure after pleasure, all done so well and controlled, all to ensure that the partner (in this case, the audience) is getting as much pleasure out of it as possible.

And not only that - we know Chris actually wears glasses, but it doesn’t appear he wears them in public, which means there’s a vulnerable part of him that he doesn’t want the world to know, so he shows his sexual appealing side and keeps his vulnerable side for his super close friends and fam.

Chris’ FS - Rapsodie Espagnole

So as anyone can tell you, Spanish songs are full of passion. This one is no different.

As is this man. God the passion this man has... incredible.

Chris is a man extremely comfortable with his sexuality, and he’s very comfortable and confident with who he is.

That’s all I can add on for him because we don’t get much of Yuuri’s thoughts re: Chris to be able to see another side of him apart from the super comfortable with his sexuality version.

AND FINALLY: (I’m not doing Otabek I can’t do him justice if someone else wants to analyse his music (he was the only one who didn’t get original music (BEETHOVEN ASSHOLES) for both his free skates))

JJ’s SP - Theme of King JJ (his song is hella freaking catchy)

Right of the bat, in both the song and the anime, we’re introduced to JJ as a man who’s exceptionally arrogant. He sees himself as someone who essentially rules figure skating.

And it’s interesting that we get a bit of that feeling as well from Yuuri.

This song and JJ are both incredibly arrogant - his song (presumably sung and written by him) talks about how amazing he is, and how no one can catch them. He taunts people, saying “Catch me if you can” and that’s exactly what he does to Yuri at the Skate Canada medal ceremony. “I look forward to climbing the podium again with you in Russia.”

He’s loud, brash, and an incredible show off, which is exactly what this song shows.

(I didn’t have to look up any of these quotes o hm ygod why am I JJ trash it must be Canada Pride)

JJ’s FS - Partizan Hope

So this piece is completely different from the last one. It starts off differently slowly and with just a piano.

The feel is completely different. To be honest, I get the shot of a person triumphantly crossing the finish line of a race in slow mo while this plays in the background.

The feeling of how he skates is completely different as well. It’s more triumphant, less arrogant.

Confident. JJ is a confident person, something the music reflects earnestly. And he knows he’s going to win, so he just skates for the fun of it. He’s not taken no for an answer, and because of that, he’s built up quite the character of fighting for he wants just by being loud, brash and opinionated (something that will get you strange looks on a Canadian bus, fun fact).

This confidence is hidden behind his outgoing self, which you can hear very clearly in this piece (probably why they put it second, because the ISU regulations RE: times would make sense for them to reverse this order of pieces).

“Ok, so I read all that. You’re right. What’s your point?”

Wow thanks for asking that!

This is my point.

Viktor’s second skate: Duet - Stay Close to Me

This is an absolutely incredible transformation - we know the songs of the characters represent who they really are. As a result, not really seeing Viktor skate competitions and then suddenly see him skate this, a song filled with so much hope and love (I was actually crying when this aired because the emotions were too much in this piece); the loneliness of the violins has been replaced with happiness, hopefulness and love.

All because of our dear Yuuri.

And I think that this is one of my favourite character growths in a tv series - Viktor, growing and changing not for love.

Instead, he changes because of it.

And I think that’s beautiful.

𝔹𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕤𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖

{This is a fanfic dreamed and desired. All I write about is my feelings, sensations and desires. TEXT BY: L.M} Day 1 - Embark on the dazzle. October 9, 2023, Monday. I am exhausted, the recording will begin on Tuesday at 11 am. I think I slept only 3 hours and 20 minutes or I’m just kicking it out loud. This was a very tiring trip I confess. Maybe because it was almost a change of two months and a week. On the bright side, the production has provided a nice apartment for me to live in. My new home is beautiful and comfortable, one block away from Crescent Street, here in Montreal - Canada. Honestly, I can’t believe I’m finally having the opportunity to work with Xavier Dolan, I left my family in Brazil to embark on this dream, I already miss them. I should tell you that I have no idea of the cast that will be on this project, but the script looks fabulous. Before I embarked on this opportunity, I realized a portion of the dream. I and 7 other members of the team dined with Dolan last Thursday, debated the first decupagents and agendas. We had already read the script before the meeting, is it a low-budget experimental drama, and honestly? I lost my breath. I’m not in the position of art director I’ve always dreamed of, but I’m in the position where I have full knowledge and experience. Curious, I am not trembling with nerves, I am completely at peace with this realization. However, very anxious. We’re less than two hours away from reuniting in Saint-Laurent with the cast of "A race by Joseph". [.... ] - Less than two hours later. Okay, I’m about to get my guts out from all the nerves. I’ve heard of some names on the list of actors, including Troye Sivan, Vincent Cassel, and Louise Coldefy. The team is sensational and fucking, Xavier is like a master for me. I need to make these days my best college. I’m at home/rental number six, it’s wonderful. I can see two cars coming through the window, and "God bless me so that Suzanne Clément is in this cast" [Spoiler, I wasn’t, I had to accept], I think I’m going to have an anxiety attack, I need to splash water on my face. I lost count of how many times I filled my hands with water and threw it in my face, I needed to understand that I was really living this moment. I came out of the bathroom apprehensive. Céline handed me a cup of tea mix of Sage, Eucalyptus, Lemon Peel and said "Hey, relax, I’ll see you in the living room.. ah, one more thing, don’t freak out". I feel a chill creeping all over my body as I walk through the door frame. Everyone was waiting for me in the room so we could debate the first two weeks of the recording. I could feel my legs swaying to the point of not having enough sustenance to stand. Timothée Chalamet was sitting on the arm of Dolan’s armchair in silence, reading what would be the 4°page of some document. Quickly he gets up and presents himself squeezing my hand gently. Silence has taken over the environment, I don’t remember my name. [I remembered! ] It was remarkable how difficult he was to pronounce it, it made it all very comical, in seconds we were all laughing. At that time, other cast members performed, but my thoughts were so far away that I don’t know if I missed any important information. [Damn, how many questions are going through my head right now? I don’t even have control over them. Stop! Focus, your future depends on this delivery. ]

[.... ] With the passing of the hours I was reasonably more relaxed and with an unparalleled feeling of gratitude for what was happening to me. We discussed the script, much of it together, the day was very productive. I kept looking at him, he’s so funny and authentic, I feel comfortable now. Obviously we wouldn’t be friends, he wouldn’t notice an assistant director [even though I’m the director’s right-hand man]. The team will be dining with the cast soon, it’s 5:47 pm and I haven’t been able to confirm my presence at this dinner. What’s my problem?! Celine: You’ll go, right? We’ll go home together and unpack. Me: Oh Céli, I don’t think I will. I have a lot to pack, tomorrow starts the recordings and I want to do everything right. Celine: No, you are not going to organize things by yourself. Nor has dinner there in the house, let’s eat please, I’m starving. Think you need to catch up! Me: Relax Celi, I’ll do things in my time, have a wine while I cook something and sleep early. Look, Wednesday we won’t record.. We can go downtown and get a quick look at the city, what do you think? Celine: You’re hopeless. Well, I’ll tell you about it. Arriving at the apartment I opened all the windows, and went to cook thinking about what the following days would be like. I decided then that I should not intensify anything, it could disrupt me at work and I can’t let my impulsive Aryan side get out of hand. I decided to go to the disco and see what the last song the host of the apartment heard. Well, did you start playing Nick Drake’s Pink Moon and honestly? I can’t let the pink moon get me. Fuck, I’ve never seen anything more beautiful in my entire life, it’s as fascinating as on screens or in photographs. [Stop! Concentrate. ] [...] 00:01 am The wine bottle is 98% empty now. I have not yet fallen asleep and Celine is already in her 8th deepest sleep. I need to sleep. She said that they were so energized, that the team’s relationship is great and that she ate a delicious Poutine, I found it very courageous for those who will spend the whole day recording tomorrow. [I’m laughing alone while imagining a disaster] I will sleep and tomorrow will be the first day of my life. I swear I was born now and suddenly everything changed. Things will be built from now on. Timothée Chalamet? I hear you’re a good actor, I don’t know you. Good night and see you soon.

Part 2

Day 50 - And I’m probably happy, could it be different? November 27, 2023, Friday. There are times I do not write in this "virtual diary", my days are super busy. Today we finish the work a little earlier, we finish the movie! I think it’s 4:00 now. Right, and why did I come back to write? Well, I wanted to forget the feeling that took me completely 50 days ago. But today something has happened that does not allow me to escape any feeling that exists here. Louise is severely ill, Christ! We’re at the end of the shoot, she’s Timothée’s date, missing four takes of a kiss between them for her last acting scene. Dolan needed two different angles and he didn’t have a voice voice available so suddenly. Louise and I have very similar hair and what I feared went through Dolan’s mind. "Be the Double" he said. Yeah, Chalamet and I kissed today, and, hell, there was no professionalism on my part or for a millisecond, I feel terrible! I felt like I had been thrown out of a plane and I was in a free fall. My heart had never accelerated so much. My fantasy almost made me believe that one of the butterflies in my stomach was coming out of my mouth 1 minute later. Holy shit! [What if it was not reciprocal? Of course it was not, silly! We are friends. ] I’m so pissed about it, I’ll tell them why.

All these days I’ve really become friends with Timothée, can you believe it? I’ve always been very afraid to talk to him because he doesn’t find me interesting enough. But we have an unusual tune. We had a lot of coffee together, a lot of claquettes I hit due to recording mistakes, we went out with the guys several times, even "alone" and that’s okay, we talked about Brazil and he made sure to go there anytime, I even smoked one of his cigarettes, even hating cigarettes. We were talking about how funny Vincent is and how amazing he is, and we were talking about how they were both working for the first time with Xavier Dolan. We laughed at stupid things until the belly hurt and even bet race in the parking lot next to the location. [He won, of course, has huge legs].

One day we were together cutting fruit for the rest of the team on the set as we talked about Georges de La Tour, "That ordinary painter" I said, and he gave a delicious laugh. He’s much simpler than I thought he could be, carries an admirable humility. And I swear, it was fine, because I was fascinated by that friendship and I could feel that it would last for many years. I’ve learned to deal with your stunning beauty. I liked the way he accepted me and had fun with me. He didn’t think I was silly. I was working for a salary and a bright future, and suddenly I felt I had won the lottery until that moment after the kiss. I feel like I’m failing at my resolve. To finish screwing with my mind, Celine told me something that made me much more sensitive about a feeling that, I swear, once again, I had managed to forget. Although I often fantasized that a mood was going on, I knew it was impossible. He definitely sees me as the cool girl makes him laugh and that he can truly trust. Celine: Look. I, for recklessness, overheard Timothée talking to Troye about you. I did not hear enough but I must say that your tone of voice was of pure indignation... Troye said, "She’s the kind of girl you want so much, you feel sorry for". Me: God damn it, did he hate my kiss?! I’m going to die, Celine! Troye clearly should be making fun of the situation. Who am I supposed to show up at Dolan’s tomorrow for dinner? Celine: Calm friend, you are traveling.. I have noticed things and I will not open my mouth. Everything will be fine, seriously.. kiss the chalamet? How can you be angry about that? [laughed] By the way, tomorrow after dinner, I’ve arranged to spend the night at Julie’s, do you want to go? Me: Oh.. I’m not in the mood to hear Julie talk all night about the new vegan recipes, sorry, pal. Celine: Okay.. I won’t bring you nice things. [My phone vibrated. I was reluctant to look, but it could be work.. ] Text Msg Timothée: I hope you’re okay, you seemed strange going away. Want to talk? By the way, you did well in tonight’s performance, you should try harder. Me: Says my angel, how are you? I am well, of course I am. [laughs nervously and it was noticeable] I was just nervous to have to act for Dolan and know that I will see myself on a movie screen, even if at closed angles. By the way, Mr. Chalamet, thank you very much. I have the seal of approval that interests me hahah Msg of text Timothée: I like it. See you tomorrow? Me: Yes, of course, until tomorrow! Msg of text Timothée: [video uploaded]

Part 3

Day 51 - Ecstasy, landscape of the soul. November 29th, 2023, Sunday morning. I don’t know how to write about how last night went.. I was upset, but I remember everything. I won’t be able to keep this journal after that I’ll tell. We were all gathered at Dolan’s house, drinking and laughing a lot, toasting to finish this incredible project. I already felt completely dizzy and with the warm body, things kept spinning in my head, it was so beautiful. He wore a leather jacket over the green sweatshirt, had a golf cap (Odd Future) hanging on one of the pants straps where his belt was, the black jeans almost on his knee and a red vans, and that hair.. that hair! It’s like a restless ocean. I was wishing to walk across the room and kiss him again with all the intensity that belongs to me, he would like it this time. My body was on fire, suddenly I was frozen, it’s coming toward me. I knew I could spoil any conversation by being totally random and awkward, I was dying of shame in advance. Timothée: Are you happy? Me: Sure, congratulations! You did a great job, I’m very proud of all of you. Timothée: Thank you, but none of this would have been the same if you weren’t on the team, right? Me: Right! [Cheers] [Silence] Timothée: What are you thinking right now? Me: Who you are, Where you’re from, don’t care what you Did as long as you love me..[I started singing As Long As You Love Me by the Backstreet Boys, really?] Timothée: Oh my God! [He laughed almost for the world to hear]. Are you going to Julie’s with Céline? There’s going to be a vegan class. I’d like a pizza, okay? Me: Look.. I also wanted a pizza instead of vegan food.. But I’m getting dizzy and I think I’m gonna go home and do my drunken show in the shower. Timothée: Ah.. Right, you’re dizzy, but you still know how many fingers you have here? [He did an 8 with his fingers] Me: Yes, of course. I’m fine, man, I’m weak but not that weak. Give me a skateboard there! [I screamed, and they didn’t take me seriously] Timothée: So.. we can go for a coffee to break the alcohol and fill the stomach with a piece of pizza, what do you think? Me: Wooah! Come on, send world pizza! [I couldn’t say no, I was completely taken. ] We got to what used to be a kind of blinker-light coffee, it had a super-hot vibe. We sat down and made the request, we laughed drunk and said nothing that made sense, I felt our friendship alive again. However, the silence and the exchange of looks came, so we could hear the music that played in the background. It was "And I Love Her" by the Beatles”. Suddenly he began to sing. Timothée: "She gives me Everything and Tenderly. The Kiss my Lover brings, she brings to me and I love her." Me: Yeah.. beautiful music. You sing over and over again better than me. When did you start playing music? [My hands started sweating] Timothée: [he laughed] Are you all right? Me: Timmy. .ah.. I think I’m going home to take another shower, rest and call my family, I don’t know. Timothée: Okay, I’ll accompany you, I can’t let you go back alone so late. Me: You don’t need my angel. I’m a ninja! [I made the shameful gesture of a martial coup and tripped. The truth is I wanted him to insist] Timothée: Without that [laughed] let’s go!

We got to the apartment, he came up with me and put his coat on the couch. I offered him water, am I pathetic? He said he did not want to, but that if possible, he would like to stay. I felt as if we were talking by telepathy, I am not crazy. He feels the same. I said he could stay, even super apprehensive. I took two cigarettes from Kumbaya that I made on Tuesday and shouted from the room "let’s get some air on the balcony while we smoke!?". Upon returning to the room, he had put Cigarettes after sex to play, silently. Nothing but the music. Breaths. Another dose of silence. My body pumped blood with so much speed, [says something] I thought. He touched my right hand and looked at me. Those green eyes made me feel warm inside as never before. I got up the courage to pull him to the balcony that led to the fire escape. The sky was beautiful and the wind touching our faces was like a sky giveaway, I needed that fresh night air. Timothée: Do you need me to say it? I can say it. Me: I know what you’re going to say and I’m terrified. You want me too. Timothée: I want to. You make me feel good. I feel my presence truly when I share a moment with you. "Sometimes I think I’ve felt everything I’m going to feel in my life. And from now on, I won’t feel anything new. " Me: I promise that one day I will feel that everything is right. but it feels so wrong. Man, I feel like I’m living a fanfic, and I don’t want to wake up tomorrow and none of this ever happened, or worse, if it’s real, our friendship being compromised by what’s possibly going to happen here. He put his hands on my face, kissed my forehead. Timothée: The heart is not like a box that fills, L. It expands in size, the more you love someone. I’m different from you. It doesn’t make me love you any less. It actually makes me love you more. I want you. Me: Right.. We are here only briefly, and at this moment I want to allow myself joy. I want that, Timothée. And I promise that one day I will feel like everything is fine. He lovingly bowed to touch his lips to mine. Feeling those soft lips against mine, it was almost like an apocalyptic sensation, the world could end right there, would have no problem. We kissed as we entered through the large window of the room, the first pieces of clothing filling the lonely floor of the room. The music Sunsetz conducted our intimate dance. The words "you have to do the right thing, do the right thing" started to disappear from my head.

I feel overflowing out of the body, sensitive, I am under the effect of exaltation, very intense feelings of joy, pleasure, admiration, reverent awe... Timothée. I truly love him. We are lying on the living room floor, apparently wrapped in a curtain that has been disastrously removed. Timothée, his breath is hot, the sound coming out of his mouth shivers my body. We were like the painting of Egon Schiele - Gli Amanti (L'Abbraccio).

Blackout. Light. The voice of an angel reaches my ear. My eyes open. He looked at me in silence, I could smell his mildly sweet citrus smell all over the room. Its aroma stimulates my sensations. Timothée: I’ll make you a cup of coffee. I’ll be careful with the amount of sugar, it’ll be just the way you like it. Keep lying down, angel. Geez, what happens now? I don’t know, he doesn’t know, you don’t know. Anyway, I feel complete.

2021 / 31

Aperçu of the Week:

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

(Charles Bukowski)

Bad News of the Week:

It burns. Everywhere. California set a wildfire record last year. And this year it has tripled - before the so-called fire season has even started. Probably, again, they didn't listen to Trump and did enough leaves raking beforehand. In Turkey, the strongest forest fires in a long time are destroying the most popular vacation regions and thus also an important economic factor. Which does not keep Erdogan from declaring the Kurds to be the real culprits. In Greece, the temperature does not drop below 30° C / 86° F even at night, and the elderly are dying like flies. The government now wants to buy more air conditioners, overlooking the fact that they are also a mayor factor in global warming. And the fires are now so close to populated areas that even suburbs of Athens have to be evacuated. In Russia, the area burned since the beginning of the year totals 14.3 million hectares! And the government admits in no uncertain terms that they would not even try to put out all the fires - after all, it's only nature.

An interesting explanation for climate change came the other day from the right-wing populist "Alternative for Germany." Windmills would take so much energy from the wind that the jet stream would therefore weaken. Says an editor of the science portal "Climate facts": "The jet stream is a band of strong winds that races around the North Pole at an altitude of about 15 kilometers and at speeds of up to 500 km/h - it's complete humbug that windmills close to the ground could have an influence on it." He probably didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The conservative television star Tucker Carlson, whose Fox News program last summer became the highest-rated show in the history of U.S. cable television, is according to Time America's most powerful conservative. And once was the most retweeted source from a certain president - guess who. Of course his views on climate change are - to put it mildly - not undisputed. "In the hands of Democratic politicians, climate change is like systemic racism in the sky. You can't see it, but rest assured it's everywhere and it's deadly. And like systemic racism, it is your fault," Carlson continued. "The American middle class did it. They caused climate change. They ate too many hamburgers. They drove too many SUVs. They had too many children." He also compared the climate change movement to Mao's Great Leap Forward, saying, "And there you have the modern left's climate agenda: no drinking straws, no automobiles, no airplanes, no meat, no democracy." And just a few weeks ago he implied that climate change is a lie that's part of a plot to shrink human babies.

Hubert Aiwanger, top candidate for the "Free Voters," calculated in a 2019 talk show that all of Germany's greenhouse gas emissions could be offset with an annual reforestation of 25 km². A fact check by the TV program "quer," however, showed that this would require reforesting an area 6,800 times as large - 170,000 square kilometers annually. That would correspond to 47.5% of the area of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2021 by the way, Aiwanger once again attracts attention with his dubious expertise by talking about side effects of the Corona vaccinations in his "personal environment" that would make you spit on your face.

What do we learn from this? If the only thing we have to counter climate change are stupid politicians, we are doomed.

Good News of the Week:

Even before Germany overtook the U.S. and China in new electric car registrations, one trendsetter - believe it or not - was our postal service Deutsche Post DHL. Since the car manufacturers were not able to supply appropriate vehicles, it simply manufactured them itself. Back in 2014, with a start-up from the Technical University of Aachen. The Group now has 11,000 of the battery-powered vehicles in use, so that it can deliver letters and parcels with zero emissions, at least for the last few kilometers.

Now, the postal service wants to address the problem of climate change more strongly also in the air - and in the future, it will also use electric cargo planes. To this end, the Group has now ordered twelve "Alice" aircraft from the manufacturer Eviation. Eviation expects to be able to deliver the aircraft in 2024, with the first flight of the aircraft type planned for this year.

So much for the prejudice of the snail mail...

Personal happy moment of the week:

Last night I experienced the trinity of earthly happiness: Poutine, Corona Extra and 2001 - A Space Odyssey. A solid soul food on the plate, la cerveza mas fina in the bottle and a cinematic highlight on the screen. What more could you ask for?

I couldn't care less...

...for the preprogrammed next hit by German pop starlet Helene Fischer. Everything I need to know is in the headline of the renowned weekly magazine "Der Spiegel": The song we will hear in our nightmares. Helene Fischer is back - with "Vamos a Marte", a duet with "Despacito" singer Luis Fonsi. A song of neoliberal flawlessness, spiced with a well-digestible pinch of Latin pop. Of course it will be a hit.

As I write this...

...I treat myself to an opulent breakfast: eggs in a jar, shrimp cocktail and burrata with herbs. Apparently, this is a weekend of culinary delights. Because tonight my wife is planning salmon Thai style. What more could you ask for? Oh, I already had that...

What Made Me Smile This Week:

Monday 3/18: Hannah and her mom and I flew to Florida today for a little escape from the frozen Midwest. Flying with my wheelchair is always a gamble. Will my chair be returned to me in one piece? Will it be returned at all? Thankfully, this crew seemed to have their act together, and it made me smile when—shortly after landing in Orlando—the flight attendant reported that my chair was ready, and still fully-functioning!

Tuesday 3/19: I’m hesitant to write this smile for fear of sounding like a self-absorbed jerk. (To be fair though, this is a weekly list all about MEEEEE, so the self-absorption levels are already pretty high.) Please know that I’m only sharing this one because it was a genuinely neat, completely unexpected surprise. Strolling around Universal Studios today, Hannah and I were recognized by followers of our vlog exactly 17 times. It made both of us smile to meet so many cool people, and to know that our story is spreading so far!

Wednesday 3/20: We had the absolute pleasure of meeting up with another interabled couple—Ben and Malorie—for a few hours in Epcot tonight. Ben has SMA and works as an animation engineer for Disney. Malorie is on her way to becoming a teacher. We did some rides, ate some deliciously cheesy poutine, and swapped stories about the hilarious interactions of being interabled out in public. Finally getting to meet them after a year of long-distance correspondence made me smile.

Thursday 3/21: Over 40 people came to our public meetup in Orlando tonight! My heart is full of happiness and gratitude. And my stomach is full of broccoli cheddar soup from the Panera that hosted us. All of these things make me smile.

Friday 3/22: I got to relive one of the greatest wonders of my childhood today: the It’s A Small World ride at Magic Kingdom. Even cooler: it’s now completely wheelchair accessible! It made me smile, and the song is now forever locked in my brain on repeat.

Saturday 3/23: This year, I am determined to make our 7th annual Laughing At My Nightmare 5K bigger than ever before! The funds we raise allow us to provide medical and adaptive equipment to people living with muscular dystrophy. It’s SUCH an important program, and I need your help to blow this year’s numbers out of the water. We raised $30,000 last year, and I believe we can hit $50,000 this year! The in-person race is on June 22nd in Bethlehem, PA but we also have options for those who live anywhere on earth! All the details and registration options are in the following link, and it would make me smile so much if you’d consider participating: https://www.laughingatmynightmare.com/5k

What made you smile this week?

july ‘19

another school year over, and another summer I have yet to enjoy.

this is my first monthly spread I’m posting. I’ve always been insecure about my bullet journal due to the fact that I’m not diligent enough to write neatly or consistently. I was also quite insecure with my imperfect bullet journal, but now I’ve grown used to and dare I say, learned to love, all the flaws (including the fact that my sleep tracker remains uncompleted and my spending tracker is not updated).

however, I would like to give an enormous shoutout to my friends who hype me up, this truly could not have been possible without you. thank you to Jessie, Ishani, Angel, Deston, Martin, and Shruti!!

quick recap of the month. I was off in Quebec (Jonquiere, to be precise) doing a French immersion program called Explore. summary: tired, poutine, , colocataires, crêpes. check out my review post for more details!

for the monthly (or month at a glance) spread, I had a:

calendar to plan out the month. for instance, due dates (an article for our program review, a project on an artist - of course I chose Mark Lee!), events (costume night, talent show, e.t.c.), trips (Old Quebec, hiking, the beach), and my exams.

spending tracker, self-explanatory but necessary. (yes, once I spent more than $100 in a day.)

to-do list for this blog, reading ahead for chem and math, and purchasing my things for the following school year (thank you to Charlotte for her grad robes!! saved me a pretty penny)

weekly spread for week 29 (July 14-20), and week 30 (July 21-27)

week twenty-nine

thank you to Emma (mon colocataire) for colouring the rocket ice lolly. I love you for that.

(mid-term) exam week!!

we went to Old Quebec and I took some cute pictures, and ate the best poutine ever (seriously, I’m buying it again when I head back)

week thirty

h o m e w o r k

we went to a beach and I tanned burnt because this big fool forgot to reapply sunscreen after swimming. literal bare mans headed into the sun to kayak and came back looking like a strawberry melona bar

483

Is there a bus stop near your house?: No, buses don’t stop around my area and I only ever see them on EDSA, which is like the main highway of Metro Manila.

Do you prefer red wine or white wine?: I hate the shit out of wine but if I absolutely had to drink some, it has to be red. And it has to be more sweet than bitter.

What’s the last airport you were at? Why were you there?: NAIA. I’m literally at the Starbucks right across the airport right now because my mom is arriving from Hong Kong in an hour and I have to pick her up.

Who do you live with?: I live with my family. That’s a mom, a dad, a brother, a sister, a cat, and a dog.

Do you read reddit? If so, how often and what subreddits do you like?: Yessssss all the time. I always browse through the Popular filter since it already compiles the best recent posts, but I’m a huge fan of the r/AmITheAsshole subreddit. People who turn out to be the assholes are hilaaaaarious.

Have you recently broken up with a significant other or even just a friend?: No. I ‘broke up’ with Aya as a friend when she was being abusive to Jo, but she’s since started working on getting better and has apologized to our friend group, so she’s back on my good side.

What’s the weather like today? Is it nice enough to go outside?: It’s 29ºC. I’m glad we’re not in the 30s, but I don’t appreciate how warm it still is.

Do you know anyone who’s had a baby recently?: As far as I know, no.

Have you used a pen or pencil today? What did you write down?: [continued from earlier because I had to pick my mom up lmao] Yes, I used a pen today. It was to write my name on a requirement that I needed to submit to complete my class.

What does your last text message say and who is it from?: "Can I call?” from my girlfriend.

Can you count how many times you’ve seen your favourite film?: Must be near a hundred. I talked about this in a recent survey but there was a time I watched Two for the Road everyday for like 2-3 months. I still make it a point to watch it several times a year.

When was the last time you ate marshmallows?: I have no idea. I don’t like marshmallows; I’ve always hated the texture.

Do you listen to any podcasts? How do you listen to them?: Uhhh no, not really. If I REALLY REALLY like the guest, I’ll sometimes listen to Colt Cabana’s Art of Wrestling or Chris Jericho’s Talk is Jericho. But other than that, I’d rather watch YouTube videos.

How old will you be in the year 2030?: 32.

How often does the kettle in your house get used?: My mom never got one.

Does your skin bruise easily? Do you have any bruises right now? What from?: Yep, super. I don’t have a bruise right now but I do have a mysterious cut below my right knee. Have absolutely no idea where it came from, but apparently whatever cut it cut it deep and it hurts.

What was the last thing you spent $150 or more on?: I’ve never spent that amount of money on anything.

Do you prefer yes or no questions or more open-ended questions?: Open-ended. If I sense that a survey is becoming too yes-or-no I usually quit it halfway; it’s too boring.

What brand of toilet paper do you usually buy?: My mom buys the toiletries so I’m not aware of what brands she gets.

If I knocked on your door right now, would you be acceptable dressed?: Yes. I just got home and haven’t changed out of my jumpsuit.

Why did you leave your last job?: Never had one.

What colour were the last socks you wore?: It’s like a faded green.

Are you studying currently? What level of education and what do you study?: Yep! I’m an incoming senior in my BA in Journalism.

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant and left without paying?: No, that’s terrible.

What was the last thing that made you laugh out loud?: Probably something from Buzzfeed Unsolved cause I’ve been rewatching it lately.

What’s your favourite scent of air freshener?: Meh, I prefer the natural car smell. Scents make me dizzy.

How many weddings have you ever been to?: Four, I think. All of those when I was a kid; I haven’t been to a wedding since 2007.

Do you know anyone named Nora?: I don’t think so.

Are your hands and feet in good condition or could you do with a mani-pedi? My fingernails can be trimmed, but it’s not like a mess or anything. When was the last time you played a board game? What did you play?: We played a math version of Scrabble when we stayed over at Laurice’s house. I’ve never seen a game like it before lmfaaaaao it was so intense.

Have you ever been to a festival for beer or other type of alcohol?: Nope. I don’t think that would be my kind of scene, either.

Do you own a record player and/or vinyls?: I don’t have a record player so I don’t have vinyls.

When was the last time you went out for drinks?: Third week of May. Have you ever been to a strip club?: NO I really want to go to one though.

What’s your favourite kind of smoothie?: I don’t take smoothies.

Do you know anyone with a ‘virtue name’? (Google it): Hmm I don’t think so, but I know someone who wants to name their kid Prudence.

Would you ever wear real authentic leather?: Never.

Have you taken out the trash today?: Nope, I don’t do that around the house. How often do you wear make-up?: Very seldom. I had my face made up several times over the last few months because Kate sometimes gets bored and she’d want to give me a makeover, but other than that, I rarely get my face done for events.

What’s your opinion on The Simpsons?: I have a very soft spot for that episode where Homer sits on the hood of his car and looks at the stars after he separated from his mom. I don’t keep track of the rest of the show.

Do you prefer horizontal or vertical stripes?: Horizontal. I don’t think I’ve ever worn vertical ones before.

What’s your favourite brand of deodorant/antiperspirant?: I don’t have a favorite.

Do you know anyone who has been through a divorce?: No. We don’t have divorce in the Philippines. So it’s not because all the couples I know are staying strong – it’s literally because no one is allowed to divorce by law.

If you had the money, would you take taxis everywhere instead of driving?: No, taxi drivers can be creepy. I’d rather drive by myself.

Have you ever done a juice cleanse?: Nope. I don’t need it.

Do you have any friends who you can’t decide if they’re attractive or not?: HAHAHAHAHA WTF, that’s so messed up and such a shitty thing to do. Is the inside of your fridge clean right now or does it need a clean out?: It’s always clean. My mom doesn’t let any spot in the house go messy for long.

When was the last time you washed the dishes?: This morning before I left the house.

Are there any magazines that you read on a regular basis?: Nope, I haven’t read one in months.

Do you have to pay for parking in most places in the town/city you live in?: No, not in Antipolo. That’s why I love it here. Once I get to the city though we do have to pay for everything, yes.

What’s the first thing you tend to do when you have a headache?: Take a Biogesic. Takes it out immediately.

Tell me about your responsibilities at work.: I don’t have a legit job yet, but at my latest internship I did news monitoring, press releases, research, and made briefing forms for the media.

Can you hear lots of traffic from your house? Does it bother you?: No. I live in a gated subdivision so it is very quiet here. Have you ever had proper Canadian poutine with the squeaky cheese?: I have never tried poutine, what a damn shame. I wish I can encounter a restaurant that serves it cause it looks SO GOOD. Canadian cuisine is not very prominent here though so idk when I can ever get an authentic serving of poutine :(

Do your parents know how to operate smartphones and/or computers?: My dad is very techy, more so than me. My mom uses her phone for her Facebook and camera and nothing else. She still asks me to Google stuff for her even if her Chrome app is right beside Facebook.

How old are your parents, anyway?: My mom and dad are both 1971 babies so they are turning 48 this year.

Are you allergic to anything? What do you have to do to prevent them?: No. My skin can get very allergic to the environment (especially if it’s humid), but it’s not an allergy or anything.

What song is stuck in your head at the moment?: I haven’t been thinking of a song.

Do you hate it when people try really hard, or do you kinda like it?: Idk how to feel about them...like sometimes I’d think it’s hilarious but other times I’d feel sorry and just cringe. But I’m certain I don’t hate it.

What’s your boss’ first name? Do you call him/her by that name?: My boss at internship is named Dessa. I call her that but I address her with Ms. before her name too so that it’s respectful.

When was the last time you wore a uniform of any kind? What colour was it? I wore my old school uniform last year for funsies because I spotted it in our storage closet and felt a little nostalgic. No reason to wear it, just wanted to mess around. The blouse ws white, the necktie and skirt are plaid.

Do you complete a survey before taking this one? Will you take one after?: No. After this, I’m torn among a) getting a midnight snack, b) taking another survey, and c) watching RuPaul’s Drag Race since I started getting into it last night, hahaha. Have you ever lost enough weight to drop a dress size?: I probably have, except I wasn’t actively trying to achieve that.

What’s your favourite kind of bread?: White and brioche.

When was the last time you got pizza? What toppings did you get?: Last Thursday. We got a cheese pizza and a barbecue chicken pizza.

Do you own Monopoly? Is it the original or a special version?: We don’t. I don’t know how to play Monopoly haha it always seemed just so boring to me.

What was the last thing you said out loud?: "Whatcha doing?”

You have to choose one: cats or dogs?: Dogs.

Would someone being either a cat or dog person affect you dating them?: It probably would. I wouldn’t want to be with someone who wants to own a cat with me. I love cats but I would never want them as a pet.

How do you travel to and from work?: I drive myself always. I don’t work yet, though.

Do you primarily use cash or card for your purchases? Why?: Cash, because I don’t have a card.

Have you ever been to a stadium concert?: I’ve been to arena concerts, if they mean the same thing lmao.

Picnic

Stray Kids AU: 10th member

Tori x Stray Kids

Little baby drabble based on their latest park VLIVE

A/N: Had so many requests for this, I’m sorry it took so long!

Requests are OPEN : Submit them! I need them!

MASTERLIST

“You guys are really pretty.” Chan read from the comments.

“I’m always pretty!” Minho exclaimed.

Tori laughed and jumped from her spot at the back of the group. “Yah! Me too!”

Changbin and Felix stepped aside so that she could step into the middle of the group. She blinked against the sun as she looked into the camera, reading the comments that sped by.

“It’s really hot out!” Felix whined.

“You’re from Australia. You should be used to it.” Tori elbowed him. “I, on the hand, am melting.”

“It is really hot out, but we’re excited to be celebrating the nice weather with you guys!” Chan promised the viewers.

“I’m going to get snacks.” Tori said. “And someone needs to come with me.”

“I’ll come.” Minho offered.

She nodded and they set off, disappearing from the view of the camera and heading towards a nearby convenience store.

“Yah!” Chan shouted. “Don’t spend your own money.” He looked at the camera. “She likes to spoil us.”

“Because she’s the best.” Jeongin reminded him.

“Do you think they’ll be okay to carry everything?” Hyunjin asked, looking off in the direction they’d gone.

“They’ll be fine.” Woojin promised. “Now, let’s talk to our fans.”

“Yeah!” Seungmin exclaimed. “How are you guys today?”

The comments came rolling in, most of them assuring the boys that all of their Stays were doing well, and asking about them.

“We’re eating well, don’t worry.” Jisung told a concerned fan.

“Last night, Tori made us Canadian food!” Changbin exclaimed. “And we ate a lot of it.”

“What was it called?” Seungmin asked, trying to remember.

“Poutine.” Woojin said.

“Poutine!” Felix did a funny voice.

“Poutine.” Chan replied, being equally as ridiculous.

Hyunjin looked into the camera. “It wasn’t very healthy, but it tasted yummy and Tori worked hard on it.”

“Which is why someone else should be buying the snacks.” Chan told them.

“Yeah, last time Tori bought dried squid.” Jisung laughed. “It was gross.”

“Hey! I thought it would be good!” Tori’s voice carried across the field.

They were making their way towards the boys, and Tori was holding her phone in front of her.

“How did she-?”

“Is she watching our VLIVE?” Felix laughed.

“Sure am!” She shouted. “Now, someone come get their ice cream before it melts.”

The boys took off at a run towards them, with Chan trying not to shake the camera too much as they ran.

Tori and Minho handed out ice cream bars to everyone, and Tori held the camera for Chan so that he could eat his.

“This is really good.” Tori told the viewers. She showed them her ice cream. “There’s caramel in here...and peanuts I think.”

“These are fancy, noona!” Jeongin exclaimed.

She shrugged. “I liked the packaging, it had a bear on it.”

“But you didn’t pay for it? You used the company card?” Hyunjin nagged.

She didn’t answer.

“Lee Know, did she pay?” Chan asked him.

He nodded, looking up from where he was trying to keep ice cream from dribbling down his arm. “Yes. She payed. And said that she would hurt me if I told you.”

“Yah! You can’t say that!” Tori screeched.

Chan wrapped his arm around Tori and looked at the camera, exasperated. “You see, guys? This is ridiculous. She spoils us.”

Tori sighed. “It seems stupid to use the company card for something as little as ice cream.”

Chan rolled his eyes but didn’t complain any further.

“And as far as spoiling you guys,” Tori continued. “You’re my boys, I have to.” She kissed the leader’s cheek, leaving behind a sticky ice cream mark, and ran off and out of view.

“Tori!”

huge life update..!!

hey everyone !! so as you’ve seen, we’ve been slowly returning to this blog. we’re so sorry for kind of abandoning it in the past few months, it wasn’t on purpose and we never really meant to do it. there was no “let’s take a hiatus” decision, we did want to keep running the blog but a lot has been going on and life has been really distracting !! soooo much has happened with us, and we can’t wait to tell you all about what we’ve been up to !!

we left off telling you about our month-long first meeting. ruby lived in california while i lived in canada, and we met online through pokemon. at the very beginning of april, after almost a year of dating, ruby flew over to canada and we met for the first time. we spent an amazing month together and did so many fun things before she had to leave at the end of april, just a few days before our one year anniversary. it was a very tearful goodbye as being together in real life had been so wonderful that we really dreaded going back to being long distance. this is the part you’ve already known. oh how things have changed...

it was only a short two months before we saw each other again. we spent may and june apart, but then, at the very end of june, i was the one who flew to california. like ruby in april, it was my first time going through an airport and on an airplane all by myself !!! i was extremely nervous to do it but after it had happened, it wasn’t neaaarly as bad as i thought it would be. the flight itself was disappointingly extremely boring and i couldn’t wait for it to be over. i absolutely love looking out the window but the woman in the window seat beside me, as well as apparently every single person around me, kept the windows closed the entire flight ! ! ! ! and oh god that woman... i couldn’t text ruby throughout the flight so i wrote down the hilarious things she said so that i could tell her them later. i won’t say what they were right now because i don’t want a huge portion of this life update to just be about her but dear god ... if anyone wants to know what happened with her, feel free to send an ask about it and i will most gladly tell c; let’s just say... i named her melania trump ...

ruby and i had no idea that we would see each other again so soon. when we parted at the end of april, we had no clue for how long it would be. we hoped we would be lucky enough to see each other again around christmas, because we knew we really wanted to spend that together. and we ended up being even luckier than that ! we did lots of fun things in california; went swimming in ruby’s pool (i don’t have a pool so this was exciting to me okay !), went to a fair on the fourth of july where we saw a rodeo and amazing fireworks, we drove 10 hours to arizona !!!, where we camped for a few days in The Wilderness, and we had never seen so many stars in our lives. the town of sedona and the mountains in arizona were so extremely beautiful and breathtaking. we went to san pedro and santa monica pier... sedona and santa monica were my two favourite places, especially santa monica. they were both so extremely beautiful. the stars in sedona and the sunset on santa monica beach... in california we also discovered ubereats. i mean, we’d always known it existed, but they had only just started making deliveries where ruby lived, and we don’t have it where i live in canada, so we had never used it before. we ordered it once and then...got addicted. we ordered quite a few “feasts” every few days where we would buy enough food that it looked as though it were for a party, but it was just the two of us. relationship goals though, am i right ? i loved our feasts ! we also walked around hollywood, of course, which i’d really wanted to see. i got a lot of fun souvenirs ! and we saw the hollywood sign !! that about ended my time in california... or i should say, OUR time.

that’s right, when i returned to canada at the end of july, after spending one month in california, ruby came with me. it was my dad’s idea, that she should come for another visit and experience summer in canada, since when she was here in april it was still winter and way too cold to do certain things. we had her ticket to canada bought before i even left for california !

we missed our flight. we might’ve left the house a tiny bit too late, and then there was traffic on the way to the airport. once we got there, there was technically still time. our plane hadn’t left off yet and we knew that planes never left exactly on time anyway. if we hurried through security we could probably still.... but they wouldn’t let us !!! immediately at check in they told us that we could no longer check in for this flight. it was too late. we had to be there at least an hour before departure. even though we probably could have made it, they said no... but they told us they could put us on the next flight. which was at 6pm. IT WASN’T EVEN NOON YET. ruby’s parents had already left us at the airport, we couldn’t sit there until 6pm !!!! PLUS, my parents had already driven 2 hours to toronto for us at this point, doing some shopping before they expected to pick us up at the airport at 7pm canadian time. like this, we wouldn’t even BOARD OUR PLANE until 9pm their time !!!! WE WOULD ARRIVE IN CANADA NOT AT 7PM, BUT AT PAST 2AM. this could NOT happen. my parents, with my little siblings with them as well, could not wait for us until 2am. there had to be a sooner flight. there had to be. AND LUCKILY, THERE WAS. they said that they could squeeze us onto a flight that left just an hour after our original flight. we would only arrive in canada slightly late. thank god. we also extremely luckily got seats together. our seats weren’t assigned until we were waiting for the plane to begin boarding. the man at the desk said that unfortunately, they didn’t have any seats left together, as he started printing our boarding passes... but he didn’t even finish saying it before he cut himself off, seeing that they DID have a seat together, and printed our new tickets, next to each other. finally everything was set !!! we had a much better flight together than i did when i flew to california. i got the window seat and got to look out the window all i wanted !!! we also watched ratatouille on the plane. because of delays, we didn’t get there until 10pm canadian time. it was nice seeing my family again after a whole month away. and then was the long drive home... we got to my house near 1am. AND I GOT TO SEE MY CATS. i had been away from them for so long !!!!!!!

so began our next month in canada. it was august, and we tried to do as many fun things together as we could. just a few days after we returned to canada, my family left for the long weekend to the state of new york. so we had the house to ourselves ! my siblings are... extremely loud and annoying. whenever they’re home, we try to stick to my room because there are no words for how horrible they are. so we were very glad to have the house to ourselves for once and took the opportunity to cook some tasty food together ! we made several good breakfasts and we even cooked two batches of meringues, which were really good. during the rest of august, we went swimming at the beach (where we had taken a walk back in april and i died from how freezing it was back then), shopped at my favourite mall, watched the incredibles 2 at the theatre, went to the african lion safari where we saw many animals such as elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions, and more, and we bought ruby a (very cheap) nintendo switch !!! she had been wanting one for literally EVER but had no money to get one. she was always really upset that she may never get one, especially with lots of games coming out that she wanted. so i helped her get one and she was so happy !!! we also both played my most favourite game in the world, together on our switches, when we saw that it had been released for switch: okami hd !!!! we have actually yet to finish it but we are very close to the end.... it’s such a good game and ruby really loves it ! i’ve wanted her to play it forever ! we also got mario kart 8 for switch, which has been a lot of fun to play together, we went to niagara on the lake, where we tried beavertails and poutine for the first time, but then when we had barely ate some of the poutine a TINY gust of wind somehow managed to blow it off our table and spill it all over the ground >:( we were so depressed !!!!!! we also went on a horse carriage ride ! and tried costco fries ! (costco’s in the US don’t sell fries in their cafe area and i have always really loved them and wanted ruby to try them... on the other hand american costco’s sell chicken bakes which are SO good and canadian costco’s don’t D’: i will miss them..) and we had campfires again !! just like back in april !! ruby has also helped me find homes for 5 stray kittens/cats that lived outside my house. they were a big problem, always having kittens and sadly suffering during the winter when it was freezing and there was little food. we were finally able to help the last of them !!! that makes over 20 strays that i’ve found homes for ! however... there were actually 6 cats. the last was a black cat named pepper. i loved her a lot but she was very sick. a rescue did take her along with the other adult stray and had her treated and fixed !!! but they couldn’t find a home for her... so they ended up returning her a month later and... we ended up taking her in just a few days ago !!! pepper is now mine !! i have 6 cats now hehehe... so that makes for our time in canada.

you may be thinking to yourself: but you said you spent the month of august together. it’s been more than a month. you both adopted pepper just the other day, and it’s october now. well... that would be right ! ruby is still here. SHE IS STAYING HERE.

YES. YES. YES. RUBY IS IN CANADA AND NOT LEAVING. so a few weeks into august, i asked my dad for advice on what the heck we’re supposed to do for ruby to begin immigrating to canada. he said well why wait ? there’s no better time to start than right now. we were ecstatic and in disbelief. we wouldn’t have to say goodbye again. ruby was not going back to california. so it was still august when we cancelled ruby’s flight and began preparing for her move. she couldn’t go back for her stuff in california because well... it would be weird and suspicious if she spent a whole month in canada, went back to california for like a week, and then returned with a ton of stuff. what would she even tell as her reason for returning to canada at airport security this time ? yeah... we thought it would be best if she didn’t leave the country. instead, her mom is going to be mailing several packages of ruby’s belongings over. but don’t worry, we’re not secretly keeping her here illegally. my family has immigrated illegally to canada and ruby’s illegally to the US, so we know all of the trouble that causes and want to avoid that. she is technically still a visitor. americans are allowed to visit canada for 6 months per year, every year, so she can be here no problem until the end of january 2019. so we have until then to figure out something more to keep her here longer. we are planning to begin college together, and that way she can get a study permit and a work permit for the length of the program (likely around 18 months). in those 18 months we would then make progress toward keeping her here after graduation, such as having her apply for a permanent residency. it’s hard but i’m sure everything will work out !

however, we are... extremely stressed out at the moment. the problem is, we have no money. we need thousands to pay for college. we need jobs to get money. ruby can’t even get a job yet, as she has no work permit. also, neither of us have driver’s licenses, though we are working to get them. and she cannot get a work permit until she has a study permit. but to get the study permit we have to have a way to pay for school---- you see the problem.

we want to go to college for video game design and development. we both have a huge love and passion for video games and would love to be the ones creating them. we already have plenty ideas for games that we want to create one day. (because of me tbh,.. every little thing gives me a new idea !) the first school i thought of was the toronto film school. so one day we simply requested more information from them, so we could learn more about what the school and the program were like. the admissions adviser called us pretty much immediately and was super nice. we talked to him a lot over the course of several days, and were very excited to apply for this school. however... we hadn’t fully thought things through just yet. looking back on it now, he kind of pressured us a little bit, urging us to apply right away so that we could be accepted and start at the school in january 2019. he said that the school would help us find an apartment in toronto and everything. toronto is 2 hours away so of course we’d have to move out to attend this school. now, filling out an application isn’t the bad thing. neither were the short essays we had to write along with the application. i don’t mind applying and even being accepted to this school. what i mind is the price, after realizing that toronto may not be the best idea. the application had a $100 fee, each, and we are extremely extremely extremely broke. but we paid it. they urged us to, made us feel like we had to apply right at that moment and that everything would work out. within just like, 4 or 5 days honestly, of simply requesting some more information about the school, we had applied and paid a non-refundable $200 together. and just a few days after that.... we truly realized how bad of an idea it was. we hadn’t even glanced at other schools to see what our options were. i did mention our worries about money to our admissions adviser for toronto film school, telling him that i have no idea how we are going to pay for all of this and that we may just have to apply for another school--- he brushed me off very quickly. didn’t even consider the option and just told me that everything would be fine and we would find a way to pay for the school and that we should apply as soon as possible so that our spots for january could be saved. he pushed me to apply, and i feel stupid for doing so now. i regret it. if it had just been a written application and all free it would all be fine but what i regret is the two of us losing $200 when we have nothing. we could have used that money to apply for a different school or pay the fee for our driver’s license test and now we have nothing. i am salty about that. i kind of feel scammed. i wish we could get our money back but i’m certain there really is no way... it’s non-refundable. sighs... the issue is, toronto is SO expensive. the school tuition would have been $33,000 each, and we thought we were soooo lucky because they told us ruby wouldn’t have to pay an extra 10k in international fees and instead get the same 33k as me. toronto, being an enormous city, gives you the shittiest, tiniest apartments, for so much money. rent would have been about $1,200 a month for an 18 month program. we were easily looking at about $88,000 that we would have to pay together. god, i am only just realizing just how much that would have been. and that is ONLY for our schooling and housing, not including other utilities and things like food. where would we, jobless as we currently are, GET 88 THOUSAND DOLLARS ??? pluuus, fafsa (american college aid) does not support the toronto film school. however osap (canadian college aid) does. i would have gotten some help for my tuition but ruby, the one who needs the help the most, being in a foreign country with no money and unable to get a job yet, would receive NOTHING. apparently fafsa hardly gives you anything anyways... but something is obviously better than nothing, and she would get nothing.

so toronto film school was a bad idea. i regret spending that $200 application fee. even if we get accepted, i hardly doubt it’s going to happen. i don’t think i want it to happen anymore. the costs scare me too much. we would struggle too much. it would be impossible.

on the bright side, i suppose, we are now considering a better school option. (though that doesn’t make the extreme stress go away, of course. we are still extremely broke). there is a school 40 minutes from my house called the university of western ontario. it’s closer by, so the location is much better and we’d be able to visit home much more often. housing would also be so, so much cheaper. the apartments there are not only much better quality, but larger, and cheaper. i visited an apartment building just today that is literally directly across the street from my favourite mall and a 5 minute walk from the university. it is the perfect location and i’m kind of in love with it. the tuition itself is likely much cheaper as well. i have not requested any information from this school yet so i have no idea how much exactly a video game program would cost, but when i quickly googled the general cost of this school, it told me that it is 8k for canadian students and 24k for international students. yep, international fees, which the toronto film school apparently didn’t have. it’s not very fair that i have to pay only 8k possibly while ruby has to pay 24k, but 24k is still much cheaper than 33k. that is nine thousand dollars we would save. PLUS, fafsa actually supports this university. we highly hope that they would give ruby a decent amount of money, though she says they hardly help at all. they gave her only a few hundred when she applied to a californian college once that she didn’t end up attending, and her sister actually started college extremely recently and they gave her absolutely nothing. so... there’s a chance they won’t help much. there’s also a chance that since she’s going to school in a whole other country rather than in the US, they might give her more for that. but we have no idea how much they might give her until she applies for it. we can only hope that it’s a good amount. though... any little bit helps. at least at this university she will get something.

so the university of western ontario sounds heaven sent. just one problem. they might not have a video game program. and we reaaally want to go into video game development.... it took me two years to decide what career i wanted in life because none of them bring me happiness !!!!! i don’t want to miss out on this one now that i finally decided on it !!!! but there is still hope. western university does list a video game program on their website, they just say that it is currently closed. however i have seen articles published in just 2017 about how western is “one of the best schools for video game development”. i wonder, if it’s so great and those articles were posted just last year, how can they have the program unavailable ! what i am hoping is that they only mean it is unavailable for the current year, which would make sense. the school year just started, it is too late too apply. but we weren’t planning on attending until 2019. perhaps, perhaaaaps... they do still have the program and it will be open again in 2019, when we wanted to attend ? however i cannot confirm this until i contact the school, which i will do soon... i really hope this is the case. if western university offered video game design and had all of these other perks, it would be literally perfect.

(but we are still very poor and very stressed out and afraid)

currently, we need to finish getting our driver’s licenses. we, especially ruby, need $150 each just to do the test... then i need to get a job. and ruby needs to get accepted into a school so she can get a study permit and work permit and she can get a job. and then we have to purchase (yes purchase, not rent, my dad claims it’s the better option) an apartment, move out, and juggle school, work, and life all at the same time, while also working to make ruby a canadian citizen. phew ! ! !

ruby has considered making a gofundme and i think that we will do it soon... i don’t know if anyone would donate, they didn’t when i tried to make a gofundme a few years ago when my dog had cancer. but we can hope. any bit that any one would donate would help us with something. so i think that we will do it. we’ll probably post the link on here once we have it, in case any of you would be able to, and be kind enough to, help us out ;w; how does that sound...? does anyone here think they would be able to donate something once we have that link..? we are wondering whether we can expect to get any sort of help from here ;w; ... apart from that and getting jobs, i’m not sure how we can make some extra money... we will need as much of it as we can get if we want to make it through this without struggling terribly. i wish either of us were particularly good at something to sell on etsy or commissions or... i don’t know. i don’t know what else we can do.

anyway, that leaves us where we are now ! we have a lot on us that we need to accomplish but.. we will try to get through it. we will get through it. together. because i still can’t believe she’s here. i can’t believe this is happening. that we never have to say goodbye and we can begin work on keeping her here forever. it’s an amazing, amazing thing, but it has its difficulties. but we have already gone through so much together. it truly is 20gayteen. at the beginning of this year, we had never even met in real life yet, and we didn’t know yet that we would. in april, we met, and when she left we didn’t expect to be back together so soon. and even then, we had no idea that this would happen. that she would stay here and we would be looking to begin college and move out together. god, the things that have happened this year. wow. Wow. i have a hard time believing that this is real, that i’m not dreaming. i never thought something like this could happen. tomorrow is our 17 month anniversary, and we are together.

(sorry this was so long !! we’ve been waiting really long to update you guys on All of the things that have happened c: thank you so much if you managed to read the whole thing, and we’d love to chat about it more if you’d like to send an ask about anything ! ...remember, my melania trump airplane story... and i hope that when we create a gofundme in a couple of days, any of you will be able to help us out !! ;w; love you all !!! 💖💖💖)

#we will continue going through our ask box soon !!!#mod post

Oversharing about my love life and the past again, you know the deal. It’s a positive story

The first time I heard thank u, next I was in Walmart with Quinn. The night before we had a conversation about whether or not we wanted to continue seeing each other in a romantic ish and intimate context. The next day rolls around and he asks me if I’m still free and I’m like ya, so he says we can go to the mall for some Boxing Day week sales but he’s not so sure about Fooling Around. We went to the mall and we got super lost in Michael’s looking for a sewing machine, because he wanted one because he sort of wants to pick up cosplay, so then we went to Walmart and looked at the sewing machines there.

The sewing machines are appropriately beside different fabrics, so he pointed to two different ones and he said “I like this, and I like this” and then he pointed to ME and said “and I like This” and I was like “awww!!!!” It was so so so so so cute I died. I’m still dead.

We stood in that aisle for idk how long, and that’s when thank u next started playing and I’m listening to it, and I know the context of the song so it’s kind of making me sad and I’m starting to feel my eyes watering because I Really Don’t Want This To Be Over. And then I notice that Quinn is dancing. Not full out dancing, but like, just moving around a lil bit, and he’s like, “am I embarrassing you yet?” And I’m like “no omg not at all”, honestly it was precious.

We did not buy a sewing machine, as they were 200 dollars, so we left and he got this weird poutine at a&w because he had a coupon someone from his work gave him. We sat in the parking lot of this a&w / Needs convenience store that my mom’s ex boyfriend Jordan (who I miss dearly), used to work at, and he ate his food and we talked about how he seen our mutual friend Anna at Walmart not too long ago and this little blond kid came up to them and started carrying on with them because anna knew the kid and he and anna pretended to be lovers and it was funny. And what’s even FUNNIER is that earlier that day before I was with quinn, I was at work and Justin, the kid I met on one of my walks 3 years ago, came in and was telling about how he seen anna and some dude at Walmart the other day. Justin was the blond kid to Quinn, and Quinn was the dude with Anna!!!! Full circle!!! So I was like “I SEEN THAT KID EARLIER TODAY HE TOLD ME ABOUT THAT”

Then we shifted the mood and talked about if we wanted to go park in our secluded little area that we figured out and engage in some Activities , so to speak , and we decided Yes. We did want that. It was a very good experience, very very different than what I was used to. It was healthy, it was mutual, we talked through it, and honestly? I felt loved.

As I’m reflecting about this, I’m very emotional and tears are in my eyes and of course I’m sad that that isn’t what our relationship is anymore, but my tears aren’t out of sadness, I’m crying because I’m so so so so happy that these moments happened. I grew to be okay with sexual contact and I was able to do that with someone who was already so important to me and someone who I’ve liked for literally ever. And if that’s not the coolest shit ever, idk what is. Thank u, Quinn

okay. so today was pretty good. I woke up at like 12:25ish I think? naturally, I texted Jess and asked if she wanted to get lunch, citing a lunch special that was posted at one of the restaurants we went to last week. she said yes and we said we’d meet in 15, so I got dressed and headed out. Once we got there we couldn’t actually see the lunch special where it was posted so we were kinda just like fuck it we’ll get whatever we want lol. I ended up getting a burger, which I kinda got meat-fatigued with (I don’t care if that’s not a real thing, I’m making it a real thing) but I ate like two-thirds of it before switching to my tater tots. they also like, fully cooked it when I said medium rare, so that may have contributed to my feelings there, lol. but mostly it was good. So we got the check and paid, I later would discover I accidentally left my credit card there and would have to deal with that later. but for now we headed home. For a while I just did random computer stuff, namely ordering a bunch of stuff off amazon after looking at recipes I wanted to make that I needed some specific ingredients for (some of which you couldn’t really find at a grocery store) and I wanted to get better tips for my piping bag for making macarons because the ones I have now aren’t big enough to properly pipe the shells so I end up having to pipe them using a circular motion instead of just doing dollops like you’re supposed to. I had gotten a reply email from the one I sent yesterday regarding the kitten for adoption and they said to call for a short phone interview and set up a time to visit, so I gave them a call but it went to voicemail and nobody’s called back yet, I may try them again in the morning because we were hoping to be able to go get the kitten tomorrow, so we’ll see how that works. I was on their website and they didn’t list a specific address for their location because apparently it’s a primarily a private home but they listed approximate coordinates by street numbers, which I tracked down to actually be really close to both of our apartments, so that should be easy hopefully. After that I decided I wanted to make oatmeal raisin cookies which had been on my mind for a few days now, so I set about doing that. I always fuck up with remembering to take the baking sheets out of the drawer below the oven before preheating the oven, because if I leave them in there they get really hot and are just generally harder to deal with, so I had to put up with that which was annoying. I tried to see if I could get my broken cookie dough to work if I used a certain technique but it was not in fact successful, so I just ended up using a spoon and rolling them into balls with my hands. I later went back on Amazon and bought a new cookie dough scoop, so I really went a bit Amazon crazy today 😂 oh well. The cookies came out pretty good, the only thing was the ones that were put on the bottom rack, which I hadn’t scooped out until after the first tray was already in, ended up being a little dark on the bottom, not burnt except for a few small areas but definitely getting there, so I’ll have to be careful about that in the future. But I was mostly satisfied with them. I went back on my computer and did nothing in particular until Jess and I decided to go get ice cream, and as I was heading out I looked at the clock and realized it was like 6 pm and not like 4 like I thought, so when we met up I suggested we get some actual food first since it was actually dinner time, so we went to one of the restaurants on the main street that I’d been to a few times before and it was pretty good. we didn’t want to fill up too much because ice cream, so we shared two appetizers: fried mac and cheese balls, and poutine. they were both super good, but the poutine was like, freaking amazing lol. I knew I was going to get sooooooo much acid reflux for eating it (and I did) but it was totally worth it. When we went to pay I saw that my credit card was suspiciously missing from its spot, which was concerning of course but I figured I’d probably just left it in the restaurant we were at for lunch (which was conveniently just across the street from where we were), so I tried to not panic and paid with another card, then we went across the street and asked about it, they told us to talk to the bartender who said to give him my ID, and I did, and he went to a little like flash card box (I forget if those have an actually proper name or not) and flipped through a bunch of pages (apparently a lot of people have left cards there before, but I guess that’s the case with a bar sometimes) before finding mine and bringing it back to me, which of course I was very relieved about, I had to deal with losing my wallet last year and getting fraudulent charges on my cards almost immediately and had to cancel and reissue all of them and then there was this ongoing problem with the bank and it was really just a nightmare, so I’m glad I don’t have to do that again. We continued down the street to the ice cream place (we have like a ton of food places in like a two block radius), where we ordered our standard choices and sat and ate them before parting ways. I got home and decided I was in the mood for some more game of thrones, finishing season 3 and starting season 4. I gotta say that I’m finally actually getting really into it. like for a long while I just was not following it, but now I know who (most of) the characters are and how they fit into everything, and just how crazy things get. I know a ton of people come back from the dead so I’m kinda just waiting for that to happen with some of the recently “deceased” characters (cough Starks cough). Poor fucking Sansa man. She’s just getting tortured from every angle. At least Tyrion is a decent human being and tries to protect her, seems he’s really the only Lannister that’s not completely terrible. and OF COURSE I left off at the end of the episode where Joffrey met his tragic end, and I have to see while actually watching it was kind of gross, it was still a beautiful sight to me because THAT LITTLE SHIT IS DEAD and I’m so happy about it. When everyone was going on about there being peace I knew that couldn’t last long, so something was going to happen, and it did. I suppose they’ll further investigate who actually poisoned him, because as much as Tyrion hates Joffrey I don’t think he would go to straight up homicide in such a public setting where he would very easily be found guilty for it. My money right now is on Tywin honestly, he was pretty done with that little shit lately. So like, who gets to rule the throne now?? does Margaery get to be queen now because she was technically married to the king when he died? Does it go to Joffrey’s sister (I think he only has one sibling? would they actually allow secession to a female at this point?) Would it go back to Stannis if Robert has no more viable heirs (assuming Joffrey’s sister can’t take on the throne)?? so many questions, and I’m sure they’ll be answered in like, the next episode, but I have many questions about them now. also when is Robb gonna show up again?? we all know he’s not really dead, and I’d like Catelyn back too for that matter. Also, I continue to adore both Daenerys and Arya as two (completely unrelated but still) total badasses who do not bow to others and do what they think is right. My girls, love them. Sigh. Anyway, when I finished that episode I started getting ready for bed and here we are. Not sure what the plan is for tomorrow being that I once again have nothing to actually do, we may get breakfast and then if things actually work out cat wise I may end up bringing one of those home, so stay tuned for details on that subject. But yeah, that’s it for tonight, it’s almost 2 am so it’s definitely time for bed. Goodnight sweeties. Stay awesome.

Freezing rain-prompt. MSR

@monaiargancoconutsoy sorry this took me ages to get to! Hope it is to your liking despite the delay :) mind if I put it up on Ao3?

“Mulder, how is it that no matter where we go you manage to find a diner?” Scully couldn’t help but smile at her partner.

“I honestly couldn’t tell you. Spooky isn’t it?” He winked, or rather tried to wink but failed. They both laughed. Even after 25 years they still never got sick of each other’s company.

“I kinda like this place to be honest, good atmosphere.” Scully looked around the room. It was a comfortable place, if she remembered correctly the restaurant was called the ‘Green Spot’. A classic diner with red booths and vintage jukeboxes at many of the tables. The ceiling had brass-coloured tiles and numerous television screens broadcasting the hockey game. The Montreal Canadiens were playing. Of course.

“We could do worse Scully. Remember Albion?” Mulder took a sip of his chocolate milkshake.

“With the Great Mutato? How could I forget.”

“All those people staring at me every time I walked into the diner there. At least they didn’t get freezing rain in Indiana.”

“Based on everyone I spoke to Mulder, freezing rain is just part of life in Montreal. Like bagels, Leonard Cohen, and constant construction.” Scully stirred some milk into her coffee. She had been asked to be a guest lecturer McGill University and Mulder was writing a book with a professor from Concordia. So they came to Montreal for a week.

“Honestly Scully I chose this place because it was close to the bus station. I probably should have anticipated our flight being cancelled.”

“Good thing the hotel is letting us stay an extra day.”

“If we’re really lucky we’ll be able to get back to it. The whole city is a giant sheet of wet ice with puddles in the road.”

“I think you mean potholes Mulder.”

“Another iconic thing about this city. You know, in french they’re known as nid-de-poules, or chicken nests.”“Hah! Dinosaurs could probably nest in some of the ones I saw downtown.” They laughed again. This time their food arrived. Scully cut up her cheese omelette neatly as Mulder dug into his poutine. Scully shook her head and smiled. “I can’t believe you managed to get not only a massive poutine, but one with bacon, hot dogs, and smoked meat.”

“It was called the Sasquatch Scully! How could I not get something called the Sasquatch?! Hey!” Mulder pouted as Scully helped herself to a few chunks of smoked meat from his poutine.

“I’ll take this over bigfoot hunting.” Scully speared a piece of bacon onto her fork.

“Scully you’re my partner and I love you but please stop eating my food.” Mulder stole a chunk of her omelette. “Yours is just as good.” They ate peacefully for a while, the sound of the hockey game a welcome background noise.

“I can’t believe it’s still raining out there,” Scully looked out the window, “what kind of city is this Mulder? The sidewalk is glistening with ice, how do people live here?”

“Sounds like an X-File Scully,” Mulder teased. The agents ordered more coffees and a slice of coconut cream pie to share. Hopefully the weather would improve by the time they finished. It wasn’t likely, but Mulder wanted to believe it would.

My Best Friend’s Sister (Part 2)

Summary: The reader gets to know Jensen more at work but he wants to know what’s up with the Padalecki siblings...

Masterlist

Pairing: Jensen x reader (with sibling!Jared)

Word Count: 3,400ish

Warnings: language, sibling angst

A/N: I adore giggly Jensen...

“Y/N, I’ve never seen a writer on set so much. You must be missing your new neighbor huh,” teased Jensen, coming up behind you in line for lunch, slapping his hands down on your shoulders and making you jump. “Or are you just here for the food, scaredy cat.”

“You snuck up on me!” you shot back, whacking his arm with a smile.

“Ah, so you’re not jumpy, just short,” he said, an equally large grin being returned to you.

“I came for my lunch, neighbor, and I am not short! Just because you guys are abnormally tall…” you said, Jensen scooting you up in line. “Am I taking too long for you, Ackles?”

“I’m hungry and they got barbecue today. You know better than to get between a Texan and his meat,” he said. “The good stuff too. Makes a boy think all kinds of things.”

“I have so many comments I want to make,” you said as you got up to the front, Jensen handing you a plate with a smile. “It’s too early in the friendship for those kinds of jokes I think.”

“Alright then, I’ll just handle all this wet, juicy meat myself then,” he said, a tiny sliver of a smile forming on your face. “Only a little crack? Damn, I’ll give it to you, you’re good, Y/N. I would have expected you to laugh like a two year old like Jared.”

“I grew up with that torture. I can handle most anything,” you said, dishing yourself up some food, Jensen grabbing your arm when you headed for a table.

“Come eat in my trailer. I want to show you some notes and stuff on this season,” he said. You certainly didn’t mind any heads up he had and you had a pretty good feeling he was checking in on you after how the previous day went. You were soon laughing though while he ate at his counter, his face in a pout as you flipped through a notebook and shut it. “Y/N…”

“Wow, you got no idea what’s going to happen to Dean do you? The boy has got some stuff coming up,” you said with a big grin, Jensen groaning. “I’m sure you’ll have tons of fun…”

“There’s that evil Padalecki streak I know,” he said, shoveling a forkful of food in his mouth. “Not that I’m complaining, but why are you on set so much? You guys normally hang out in the front office and plot awful things for us to go through don’t you?”

“My boss is calling it shadowing. Plus it’s my lunch hour to use as I please. I’ve seen the show but getting in the actual environment helps visualize when you’re writing and plotting,” you said, Jensen nodding in agreement. “I’ll be sure to hide away with the other writers if my presence intimidates you that much, Jay.”

“I’m not intimidated,” he said, giving you a smirk. “Be nice to Dean is all I’m saying.”

“But being bad is so much fun,” you said, his head nod a good sign.

“Well, you have a point there,” he said, thinking for a moment, his mouth slowly forming into a smile. “Oh, they gave you one of those episodes didn’t they, a bottle one? To save budget? You have to use sets we already have, probably set everything in the bunker, right?”

“You know, you’re pretty quick on the draw,” you said. “It’ll be a challenge to make something self contained like that but with the right idea it could be one of those stand outs. Honestly I hope I don’t suck is all. Bottle episodes are pretty hit or miss with fans.”

“You’ll do fine,” he said, sliding into the seat across from you, staring at your leftovers with a puppy dog face.

“Go ahead,” you said, passing the plate to him, Jensen munching on your pulled pork happily. “Texans and their meat.”

“You polished off your plate pretty good,” he said, offering a satisfied head nod.

“I know my way around handling some good old fashioned Texas meat,” you said, biting your bottom lip as you saw him fail at holding in his laugh.

“I think we just hit the fun part of the friendship, Padalecki,” he said, tilting his head. “I got to come up with something different. You got way too many vowels in there…”

“Oh don’t-”

“Paddles!” he said, your face scrunching up. “Nope, you don’t get to pick your nickname, them’s the rules.”

“Paddles? What am I, a kayak?” you asked, Jensen biting his lip, his body shaking with a light chuckle. “You’re far more giggly than I thought you were buddy.”

“I’m really not,” he said, your head cocking, an easy smile on his face again.

“Right…” you said, grabbing your bag and stretching. “I should head back to my office, whip up some evil deliciousness for those Winchester boys.”

“How about Dean gets a puppy? Or a back massage? Or both?” he asked.

“In your dreams,” you said, opening his door to catch Jared backing up. “Sorry.”

“It’s cool,” he said, putting on a short smile before deciding it wasn’t worth it. “What are you doing here?”

“I had lunch with Jensen,” you said, Jared glancing over you at Jensen. “Is that okay with you?”

“Of course. Why wouldn’t it be,” he said, letting you pass.

“Don’t forget Cliff’s picking you up tonight, Paddles,” said Jensen. “I’ll text you about dinner.”

“Thanks Jay,” you said, spinning around to throw him a smile, Jared’s scowl wiping that thought away. “Later.”

“Later shrimp,” he said, his face so much softer when he looked back at his friend and went inside.

“Can it be five already?”

“Y/N,” said Jensen around six, opening his door to guide you inside. “I hope you’re in the mood for leftover barebecue because I have got plenty.”

“You’re a lazy bum,” you said, patting his arm. “Barbecue sounds great.”

“Oh,” he said, trotting to his kitchen, opening up the oven to pull out a dish. “I actually whipped up lasagna quick so I hope you’re not actually disappointed about the-”

“When did you even have time to do that?” you asked, hopping up on one of his stools, a place already set for you there. “I haven’t even gone to the grocery store yet.”

“I make stuff during the weekend and freeze it for...and you’re not buying that, are you,” he said, giving you a smirk. You hummed and he rubbed the back of his neck. “Okay, I may have ordered take out on the way home so...I do cook. Just leftovers from lunch or calling in something is more my normal dinner is all.”

“How about I make you dinner tomorrow? I’m starting to feel like your free loading neighbor over here, Jensen,” you said, holding up the plates for him to serve up some badly needed sustenance.

“Let’s get you to that grocery store first and then you can make me dinner,” he said, pouring you a quick drink and sitting beside you. “There’s like a ninety seven percent chance I pass out in my food, just so you know.”

“We need to get some sleep tonight, Ackles,” you said, already thinking about how good your bed would feel. “I hope you don’t mind the sweats.”

“Oh yes, because girls in cute sweatpants and oversized tees are my number one pet peeve,” he said, rolling his eyes with a smirk. “Nice fuzzy socks by the way.”

“I know what to get you for your birthday then,” you teased, diving into your food, finishing way too quickly and standing up with a groan. “Can I use your bathroom?”

“Powder room is right there,” he said, pointing across the hall. “Master’s in the master.”

“Yeah, because I was going to go take a shower,” you said, excusing yourself and returning to find he’d cleaned up and was laying on his couch. “You tired buddy?”

“Yeah,” he said with a sleepy smile. “I wanted to show you something before you head home.”

“Alright,” you said, sitting down on the soft couch and immediately regretting it, curling to lay down, your eyes closing. “Oh that was a mistake.”

“I guess I’ll show you tomorrow then,” he said with a chuckle. “I’d offer to walk you home but getting to my bed feels like going to Mordor right now.”

“You’re so dorky. I like that,” you said, forcing yourself upright, shaking your head. “Come on, show me so we can both get some rest.”

“It was just some article I saw about our new writer, how she’s pretty spectacular at her job on account of the whole you worried about the bottle episode thing earlier,” he said.

“I’m not really nervous, just need inspiration to spark,” you said, standing, Jensen reluctantly getting to his feet. “Watch out for orcs on the way to your room.”

“Yeah, yeah,” he said, padding after you, following you to his front door, scrunching his face up when you spun around to say goodnight. “Keep going, Paddles.”

“You’re exhasued, where are you going?” you asked, Jensen grabbing a key off a rack, pulling the door shut behind him.

“I’m walking you home like a good friend,” said Jensen, pushing on the middle of your back to get you walk down the hall. “I got early call time tomorrow but let’s grab lunch again.”

“Sure,” you said, Jensen yawning loudly when you got to the elevators, leaning against the wall and nearly falling asleep. “Go home buddy. I can manage the perilous trip back on my own.”

“Nah, orcs could get ya,” he said with a smile, popping up when the doors opened, walking with you all the way down to your apartment. “All set?”

“Mhm. You really didn’t have to do that,” you said.

“I know the building has a doorman and is safe and you need a key to get the elevator to work and then another one just to get in your apartment but...you’re still new in town and you know, you ever need anything or someone to walk with you, I got your back. There’s a mini mart two blocks down open all night that sells amazing ice cream if you ever need an escort,” he said.

“Thank you Jensen,” you said, patting his smiling face. “I’m glad I got a friend and neighbor like you. Now, Mr. Gentleman, get your tush in bed before you fall asleep standing there. It’s an order.”

“Yes mam,” he said. “Night.”

“Good night Jensen.”

“I don’t know what they’re cooking but it smells amazing,” you said, walking over from Jensen’s trailer to the lunch line.

“Poutine. I will bet you a gajillion dollars it’s poutine, Paddles,” he said.

“I don’t even know what that is but I’m trying it,” you said, Jensen shaking his head when your face scrunched up upon spotting it. “French fries? And gravy with...what is that?”

“Cheese bits,” said Jensen. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s good. If you want a taste of some Canadian food though I can show you a place where you can get a breakfast one with eggs and bacon.”

“Our bacon or fake bacon?” you asked, Jensen biting back a laugh as you felt the heated gaze of about thirty people on you. “I mean US or Canadian bacon?”

“Smooth,” teased Jensen, watching the stares turn playful after a moment. “Ah, don’t harass the newbie guys. I got that covered.”

“You sure do,” you said. You opted for a lighter lunch choice, Jensen shouting at Jared to join the two of you back at his trailer when you passed him. Jared mumbled something about being busy but said tomorrow for sure. Jensen didn’t say anything about it but he was far quieter than you were used to from him.

“I didn’t piss him off did I?” asked Jensen, pursing his lips while he poked at a piece of lettuce. “We haven’t had lunch all week. We don’t...get like that with each other.”

“It’s only Wednesday,” you said, cocking your head. He sighed and threw his plate away, grabbing yours too when you handed it over. He crossed his arms and spun on his heels, leaning back against the counter.

“I made a crack about gray hair Monday morning...but he always brushes that off and gives it right back,” said Jensen, finally catching your eyebrow raise. “I’ve eaten lunch with him almost every day of filming for the past twelve, thirteen years. Something is definitely up with him.”

“I’m pretty sure it’s me he’s pissed at, not you,” you said. “I’ll steer clear tomorrow for you guys.”

“No you don’t have to do that,” he said, hopping up in his counter. He started to rub his palm and lifted his head up, a barely there smile. “I know it’s not any of my business...but what is up with you two? Every story I ever heard about Y/N Padalecki would have made me think you two were inseparable, not avoiding each other like the plague.”

“We just...have an odd relationship is all,” you said. “I’m the kid sister.”

“I have a kid sister too and our relationship is not like...whatever this thing you got going on is,” he said.

“Actually you know what? You’re right, it’s not any of your business,” you said, standing up fast and heading for the door, slamming it on the way out.

It was after nine later that night but you figured Jensen would be home by then or at least hoped he was. No one answered when you knocked on his door though. You knocked again and could definitely hear a TV going in there. You let out a sigh and cursed to yourself. Of course you had to go and piss off the one friend you had.

You glanced down the hall and back the other way. He had less neighbors with the bigger apartments up there but you still hoped they weren’t the thieving type. You knelt down and put the container with with the note on top of it in front of his door, your eyes going wide when you saw it open and were greeted to a pair of bare feet. Glancing up you saw him with wet hair and only a towel on, a hard but curious look on his face.

“I was in the shower,” he said as you grabbed the container and stood.

“Sorry,” you said, shoving it in his hands and walking away.

“Y/N,” you heard him sigh, a large hand catching your arm. “Why did you...make me cookies with an ‘I’m Sorry’ note on top?”

“I don’t know,” you said with a shrug. His hand fell away and he stepped back into his apartment, waving you to follow. “If you want to yell at me-“

“Why would I yell at you?” he asked, putting the cookies down, letting go of his towel to cross his arms. “It’s no big deal. I knew I was pushing buttons when I asked and if you don’t want to talk to me about it, alright then. I’m not going to snap at you for it and you certainly don’t have to make cookies and apologize and walk around with your head down.”

“Sorry,” you said, lifting your head up, avoiding looking at anything beside his face, thankful when he moved a hand back to grip his towel. “I’ll let you get back to your shower.”

“Again, it’s not my business, but you two need to deal with your crap. I don’t like seeing my best friend and new friend feeling shitty,” he said.

“He has tomorrow off right?” you asked, Jensen nodding. “Maybe I’ll invite him over for dinner.”

“Paddles,” he said wth a sigh.

“I will invite him over for dinner,” you said.

“Good girl,” he said, flipping open your container, popping a cookie in his mouth. “Oh my...forget what I said earlier, you can make me cookies all the freaking time if they taste that good.”

“If things go well with Jared, I might even bake you a pie,” you said, Jensen nodding as he ate another one.

“He’s your brother and he loves you to death, Y/N. Whatever this is, I’m sure you’ll work through it,” said Jensen.

“Yeah. Night,” you said, wanting him to get back in his shower before he started shivering anymore than he was. You dug out your phone on your way back downstairs, trying to figure out how to get him to come over.

A message from Jared popped up first.

Are you free after work tomorrow? We need to talk.

Sure. I’ll make dinner.

Gen’s in town so it won’t take that long, fifteen minutes tops.

Jare would you just get over your insecure little self and realize I’m trying to talk here? None of the fake formality shit when you helped me move either. We need to have a serious, grown up talk.

Sorry, I wanted to tell you in person that you’re going to be an aunt again but apparently I’m just an insecure asshole that doesn’t give two shits about you. It’s a girl by the way. I’m sure you’ll want to gush with Gen about it when I’m not around.

Why do you hate me?

Why do you hate me! I’ve never once in my life done anything bad to you, not once! You’re not like this with the other guys.

Because my other siblings I know care about me! This is what I get for trying to be the bigger person, the adult in the situation, Jared. I told Jensen this was a mistake.

I thought I told you to keep things professional with him.

I’m not going to date your precious fake brother but apparently you think I’m into sleeping around or breaking hearts or a bunch of other untrue crap you believe about me. Don’t worry at all, I will never speak to him again if it’ll appease you.

Good.

“What is wrong with you Jared you asshole,” you said, panting hard in the hall, storming into the elevator, spinning around to find Jensen cautiously stepping inside in some pajamas, looking you up and down.

“I was going to pick up my delivery at the front desk but you look like the dinner thing didn’t go well,” he said.

“Sorry. I don’t talk to you anymore,” you said, keeping your distance until you could get to your floor. You were barely inside your apartment before you got another text, a group one from Jensen.

You two. My apartment. Seven tomorrow night or so help me. You are figuring this out before I have to see her crying in the freaking elevator again. -Jay

Fine. -Jared

“Okay,” you wrote back, the fight out of you, especially for dragging Jensen into your crap.

You got a text a few minutes later from Jensen separately.

I’ll give you both your space tomorrow to do your thing but if you want to talk tonight, just come knock.

I’m fine. But thanks.

You’re not but that’s okay.

You went to bed feeling a little better, still dreading your dinner though. You hoped you could just forget it all and hide away in your writing the next day.

“What the…” you said the next morning when you left for work, tripping into the hall. You turned around a saw a small tub by your door.

Feel better brownies - Jensen :)

“You’re a very sweet man, Jensen,” you said, tucking the bin on your counter. “I just hope we’re still friends at the end of all this.”

Canadian Girl

Epilogue

Master List | Steve Rogers Master List

Previous Chapter

Pairing: Steve Rogers x OFC | Word Count: 3338 Warnings: Swearing, Pure FLUFF, stereotyping of Canadians (I'm allowed, I am one) Also, Happy 150th Birthday to Canada!!!

As Kennedy stood anxiously awaiting the test results in her lab, she did the math. Officially she and Steven had been together for six months by her count.

Steven counted from far sooner than she did, going all the way back to the weeks leading up to him kissing her in the kitchen at the lab, but she refused to count that as dating when she’d been so incredibly clueless to the fact of him even liking her in that way.

Returning home to New York after CFR had proved both trying and satisfying.

Trying in that Steven had insisted she move in with him. Trying in that Tony had already seen it done without her say so. Trying in that whenever she turned around, she was having visitors show up in her lab. It was highly frustrating.

Until the day she’d turned to yell at whomever it was who felt it perfectly acceptable to simply walk into her lab without invitation, only to discover the person was Bruce Banner.

Out of all the Avengers, he was the only one she hadn’t met by that point.

Afterward, Steven had teased her endlessly because she’d fangirled a little over meeting Bruce, but he was someone she admired greatly. To find out Bruce also admired her work had been thrilling.

Then, Bucky had casually commented, “Least she knew who he was,” which had shut Steven right up.

The satisfaction came when the newness of it all had settled into a routine. She still got regular visitors, but she’d learned to work around them. Now that she’d broken the secrets of the serum, she’d begun working toward using the parts she could for MS research. Her days were filled with new and exciting discoveries, while her nights were filled with passion and love.

When he wasn’t working, Steven would often show up at her door, dragging her out of her lab when she’d worked too late again. He always made leaving worth her while. The heat and fire of their relationship hadn’t dimmed at all. It seemed only to grow stronger with each passing day. As he’d said, they continued to light each other up.

She’d never felt more loved, more cherished than she did when she was with him.

His love simply… overflowed.

She’d found a second home, a second family, in the Avengers team. They’d made her a part of them, even if she never used her powers. They all knew she could, but no one ever asked or pushed her into anything. For that, she was grateful.

Hydra was still a concern, but with her being practically tower-bound, something she had no issue with, she didn’t worry too much about them. Anytime she wanted to go to the park to clear her mind or stretch her legs, one of the team or a couple of agents went with her. Add to that Natasha’s insistence on teaching her things, and Kennedy was getting regular exercise.

Did she grumble about it? Yes, she did. Did she still go? Yes, she did.

It was Natasha, a woman who, like Wanda, had become a close friend very quickly. Nat wanted her to learn, wanted to teach her, so Kennedy went along with it. Besides, it was kind of fun and the added exercise made up for the excessive amount of poutine they all ate.

It was probably a good thing her family had agreed to the deal offered them by Fury. It made it easier to have coffee, and other Canadian foodstuffs brought back to the tower.

Tim Horton’s coffee was now a mainstay in the Avengers kitchen, Tony enjoying it so much, he was making noise about adding a Tim Hortons location to the ground floor.

Kennedy only shook her head, wondering why she'd ever been afraid of Tony.

The man could be all kinds of ridiculous.

And, when Thor had discovered the all dressed potato chips, well, her entire stash had been depleted in three days.

But today, for the first time in months, Kennedy stood nervously twisting her hands together. She was worried, a little bit scared, and it wasn't a feeling she’d had within these walls in a long time.

Steven had been gone for a week or so, off on a mission with Sam and Wanda. When he was gone, she often spent long hours in the lab, disliking going to bed without him. So it hadn’t really surprised her when she’d come down with the flu.

Not sleeping or eating correctly, it was kind of bound to happen. Except the stomach flu didn’t happen every morning at the same time three days in a row.

When the computer pinged, informing her of her ready test results, Kennedy’s hand shook slightly as she pulled the page from the printer.

Her eyes scanned the results. Her breath hitched softly. “FRI… FRIDAY?” she called out, her lab AI getting a serious upgrade.

“Yes, Kennedy?”

“Where’s… Natasha?”

“Natasha is in the gym at current.”

“Can you tell her I need to see her… right now,” Kennedy gasped out, tears in her eyes, and worry in her heart.

She hadn't planned for this.

***

Sweeping down, Natasha took Bucky’s feet out from under him. “Getting slow, old man,” she snickered.

His arm lashed out, jerking her feet out from under her, so she landed on her back beside him on the mat. “Now who’s slow?”

“Bite me, Barnes,” she quipped, wincing a little.

“Natasha?”

“Yes, FRIDAY?” she said sitting up.

“Kennedy needs to see you right now. It appears to be urgent as she is quite upset.”

Nat and Bucky were both on their feet and moving toward the door at a jog. “Lab?” Nat called out.

“Yes.”

“Steve back yet?” Bucky asked the AI.

“Just. He’s debriefing.”

“Get him,” Bucky barked.

“Bucky, she asked for me,” Nat reminded him.

“Yeah, but she likely doesn’t know he’s back. If something’s wrong, you know she’s gonna want Steve.”

Getting on the elevator, they both headed for the seventh floor.

***

Sitting in the debriefing, Steve wanted nothing more than to get the hell out of there and go find Kennedy.

The latest mission had been a shit storm. Everyone had gotten out alright, but barely. It had him longing to hold onto the good in his life. To seek comfort in the arms of Kennedy as he’d been doing for months.

Shortly after they'd returned to New York, the news had come in of Carl's confession and subsequent incarceration.

Not a peep had been leaked about his five minutes in interrogation with the man, not one single word. It impressed him enough to have the table replaced as well as a large anonymous donation made to the Edmonton police service for use in whichever charities they deemed worthy.

Kennedy had taken the news in stride, saying only she was happy it hadn't gone to trial. She didn't want to testify, nor have all her past dirty laundry aired. Though she'd looked at him curiously a few times, she'd never once out and out asked what he’d said to Carl.

He would have told her the truth if she had. He figured that was why she hadn't asked.

She had moved on from Carl, from that part of her life. She’d been through so much. Learning to use and control her powers. Her genius brain taking her to university early.

Carl and his depravity.

She was, literally, the strongest woman he'd ever known.

He loved her with everything he was. Heart and soul, they’d belonged to her for months.

When the phone on the table in front of him went off, an update from FRIDAY, he frowned. Listening to Sam and Wanda relate what had gone down, he pulled it toward himself to read better.

The chair slammed into the wall behind him as he shoved to his feet and raced out of the room.

“What the fuck!?” bellowed Sam, nearly leaping from his skin.

“Something’s wrong with Kennedy!” Wanda gasped.

"Go," said Fury. "Keep me apprised."

On the twelfth floor, Steve didn’t bother waiting for the elevator. He slammed through the door to the stairwell at a dead run.

***

Pressing her palm to the plate, Natasha shoved open the door to Kennedy’s lab. “Kenny? What is it? What’s wrong?”

Not looking up, Kennedy held out the paper toward the woman. Breathing out a shaky breath, she pressed her other hand to her mouth.

Frowning, Nat took it, glancing at Bucky. Scanning what were clearly test results, she frowned. “What am I reading?”

“I’m… pregnant.”

“What?” Bucky gasped.

Her head whipped up. “Oh god! You brought Bucky!”

“You didn’t say come alone!” Nat shrieked. Darting forward, she grabbed Kennedy up in a tight hug. “Why aren’t you happy?”

“I don’t know how… Steven and I haven’t talked about kids… it was an accident… but… Nat… I want this,” her breath hitched.

Steve slammed through the door seconds later. “What is it? What’s happened? What’s wrong?”

“Oops…” Natasha breathed against Kennedy’s ear when the hug turned into a death grip. “It’s Barnes’ fault. He figured you'd want Steve.”

A panicky feeling filled her chest. She almost didn’t want to let go of Nat, but the choice was taken from her when the redhead pulled away. Teary-eyed, she looked to where the big blond, still in his Cap suit, stalked toward her, concern etched across his face. “Steven…”

“Is it your aunt? Did something happen to Joan?” he asked, taking her from Nat. “Do we need to go home?”

Her heart just fell to splat at his feet with how he was concerned for her family. “No, Steven it’s not them.” She pressed shaking hands to the red and white stripes over his abdomen.

He cupped her cheeks. “What is it? You’re kind of freaking me out, Kennedy? Are you sick? Do I need to get Bruce?”

“For fuck sake, punk! Let her talk!” Bucky huffed.

She glanced his way, couldn’t help but see the excitement and joy on his face. She could only hope Steven would feel the same. “Steven… I’m…” She sank her teeth into her lip.

“What, baby? Whatever it is, we’ll get through it together,” he vowed, caressing her cheek as Sam and Wanda came through the door.

“Pregnant,” she whispered. Staring up into his bright blue eyes, she watched as first surprise-filled them, then shock morphed into a joy which had the breath she’d been holding rushing out.

“A baby? We’re having a baby?” he asked, voice full of awe.

She nodded, teeth worrying her lip.

***

Tilting his head back, Steve laughed before he shouted for joy. Wrapping her up tight in his arms, he swung around to face their four friends. “We’re having a baby!”

Sam and Wanda both cheered.

Dropping her carefully to her feet, Steve kissed the breath right out of her. “Wow,” Kennedy said once he let her go.

A stillness overcame him before he was tugging her toward the door, through the congratulations of the others. “Come on, Doc.” He sent a sharp glance Bucky’s way, his friend’s grin wide and filled with understanding as he held everyone back.

“Where are we going?” she asked, jogging a little to keep up.

“Upstairs.” Striding onto the elevator, he called out, “FRIDAY, living quarters. No stops.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Steven?” She still sounded worried.

Turning into her, Steve caged her against the wall. “Kennedy, I love you so much.” Leaning down, he kissed her softly, a gentle brushing of lips which had her sighing and melting into him.

Her arms went around his waist.

His hands went to her face and her hair as he worshiped at her mouth. Nipping and tugging her lip, he kissed and sipped, kept her distracted long enough to arrive on their floor. Drawing her from the elevator, he swept her up, making her gasp in the same way she always did, a pink flush filling her cheeks.

Her arms went around his neck. “Are you… really happy about this? We haven’t exactly talked about kids.”

“Kennedy.” He smiled down into her emerald eyes. “There's nothing that would make me happier than having a family with you.” Walking into their suite, he set her on the bed and went to rummage through a drawer.

Turning back, he said, “Well, maybe one thing would make me happier.”

“What?” she asked curiously.

Taking the three steps he needed, he knelt before her. “If my child’s mother was also my wife.” He held out the ring box he’d been hiding from her for months.

Her eyes were huge in her face when she gasped, “Steven?”

“They kept all my things for the museum and stuff, the historical significance and all that. So, when I went looking for it, SHIELD had a record and managed to help me get this back.” Lifting the lid, he revealed the antique gold ring, the setting a twisted band with three stones. “It was my mother’s. The outer stones were lost when I was a kid, so I had them replaced with emeralds because they reminded me of your eyes, but the diamond was surprisingly good quality, or so the jeweller said so it's original.”

Her mouth was hanging open, the shock evident. “How… how long have you had this?”

“I started looking for it at Christmas. Finally got my hands on it February. Got it back from the jeweller in March,” he said, a light flush on his cheeks.

“Three months?” she whispered. “You’ve had this… three months?”

He nodded. “I was… gonna ask you on the first of July.”

“Canada Day?” Her eyes filled with tears which trickled down her cheeks.

“Baby,” he brushed his thumb across her face. “Yeah. What better day to ask my Canadian girl to marry me?”

She threw herself at him, taking him over backwards to the floor.

Landing with an oomph Steve asked, “Is that a yes?”

Nodding vigorously, Kennedy hiccupped as she cried, “Y-yes!”

Sitting them back up, he held her in his lap, plucked the ring from its box, and slipped it onto her finger.

“It fits,” she said, wiping at her face, holding out the hand with the ring.

“Of course it fits. What kind of master spy would I be if I couldn’t get my girl’s ring size right?” he chuckled before kissing her soundly. A hard banging at the door had him growling out, “What?”

“For fuck sake, punk! We’re dying out here! Did she say yes or what?” Bucky hollered through the door.

Laughing, Kennedy used his shoulders to get to her feet. “C’mon, Steven. We can finish this later.” She held out her hands.

He took them but heaved himself back to his feet with very little of her help. Before she could get too far away, he drew her back, pressed a kiss to her cheek, and laid his hand on her belly. “I love you,” he said softly, looking down into her sparkling eyes. “I love you both.”

“Oh god, Steven! As if I don’t have enough issues with the hormones. I’m going to be a sobbing mess you say stuff like that too often.”

“Every day, baby. I’ll tell you every day.” Kissing her deeply, he held tight to his family.

***

Hours later, after the entire team had gathered for an impromptu celebration, Steve was standing off to one side of the room, watching as Kennedy laughed up at something Thor had said.

She’d made the big man’s night when she’d told him on the sly how excited her father would be to finally get to meet the God of Thunder.

Thor had quite monopolized her time afterward, but Steve didn’t mind. The Asgardian even let her try to lift the hammer. It hadn't budged, but she shrugged it off with a laugh.

She glowed. Kennedy had never looked more beautiful than she did right now.

Tomorrow, they would be making a surprise trip to the ranch where they'd tell her family the good news. Hopefully, her daddy wouldn't punch him in the mouth for doing things a little backward. After all, he'd already asked for Jonas's blessing when they'd gone up at Easter and gotten a resounding yes.

“You keep staring at her with that goofy ass grin I may just have to punch you,” Bucky said with a smirk as he sidled up beside Steve.

“Shut up, jerk,” Steve quipped, uncaring. He was too damn happy. “Where’d you disappear to?”

“Had to go get something.” Bucky dropped the small blue gift bag on the table beside Steve. “For you, punk.”

Frowning, Steve shook his head. “I don’t… for what?”

Crossing his arms, Bucky huffed, “Just fucking open it, Stevie.”

Eyeing Bucky, he tugged the card from the top and the box from inside. “Great wrapping job.”

“So help me, Steven…” he growled.

Chuckling, Steve ripped open the card, only to have to sit down rather hard on the barstool beside the table. “How?” he gasped softly, looking up at Buck in shock.

“Third Sunday in June is this weekend. Happy father’s day, Steve.”

The card with the picture of big boots and little boots read for the father-to-be. Scrubbing his hand over his mouth, Steve swallowed hard, fighting back the thick knot of emotion which had appeared in his throat.

“Open the box before you lose your shit, Cap,” Bucky muttered, his own eyes shining brightly.

Placing the card on the table, Steve lifted off the top of the box. Beneath the tissue paper was the tiniest of tiny clothes he’d ever seen. “Buck…” he forced past the lump.

“Not yet, punk. Take it out.” Buck’s voice was hoarse.

Lifting it out, amazed at how small the onesie looked in his hands, Steve turned it over. The half sob, half laugh exploded from him. A dark blue, the front read My Daddy’s a Super Soldier, and his shield was printed bold as life beneath the writing. “How in the hell…?”

“Saw it a while ago. Guess they’re kind of a novelty thing, but in this case, it’s true.” His hand closed over Steve’s shoulder.

His hand closed reverently around the tiny piece of clothing. Jerking to his feet, he seized Bucky in a hug which would have crushed a normal man. “I’m gonna be a daddy.”

Bucky’s arms closed just as tight around Steve. “Congratulations, pal.”

Tears of happiness and joy slid down his face. “Thanks, Buck,” he said, pulling back and scrubbing a hand over his wet face. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy.”

Bucky reached out and patted Steve firmly on the cheek, his grin wicked. “Just wait till the kid gets here, and you’re sleep deprived.”

Chuckling, Steve shrugged. “Don’t care. It’s my kid.” Turning his attention back to the room, he smiled at Kennedy as she made her way toward them. Poking Bucky in the ribs, he muttered, “Find a box of tissues. She’s going to bawl like crazy.”

Bucky was quick to make his exit in search of the required item.

“What’s going on over here with all the bromancing?” she asked, her smile cheeky.

“Wait for it.” He held up his hand, tucking the other behind his back.

“For?” Her brow arched as Bucky returned with the box of tissues.

“This.” He held up the tiny shirt.

Kennedy’s hands flew to her mouth. “Oh… oh, Bucky.”

The former winter soldier thrust the box of tissues toward her. “Seemed appropriate.”

“So much!” she gave a watery laugh, going in for her own hug, clutching a handful of Kleenex. “Thank you, Bucky.”

Looking down at the tiny piece of clothing, Steve smiled. He’d gotten everything he’d ever wanted in the span of heartbeats. His Canadian girl was going to be his wife, they had a child on the way, and, when he looked up at the faces around him, he knew his team, his family would do everything in their power to make damn sure his family, their family, stayed safe.

Whatever came next, they would face it… together.

hello frens! i’m s & this is felix the cat. ha! not really but he’s a fucking kitten so..anyways, this is about to be a total mess ( just like my note taking skills ) so if you don’t get shit, its okay. message me & i’ll explain the science of felix herschel. i love plots, poutine, donuts, angsty plots & making typos! under the readmore you’ll find s’more about baby fel.

o k a y .. i just want start off saying that felix is not a WHOLE. he’s just fragments of people, memories, books & the stars, that’s how i like to describe him anyways!

felix simon herschel is 22 years old, studying poetry in uni. & bisexual af.

felix was born in mountain view, california. he lived in a rather spacious house a little isolated from everything else. they were four, his mother, father & older sister –– which was only a couple years his senior .

he had a more or less normal childhood. he had the time of his life. he loved discovering the small forest beside his house and play with the little toads swimming in the pond.

his father was an astrophysicist which meant he was equipped. the little fluorescent stars above his bed made up ACTUAL constellations that his father made him memorize.

his vacations were spent in a small cottage in the middle of nowhere. although, felix loved it. during the day he’d swim in the lake nearby, learn how to play piano & read a few books. when the night came, the small family would gather around the fire to play guitar ( which his mom taught him how to ) & observe the multiple stars. if they were lucky; rafael herschel would set up his telescope.

even though he had a peaceful childhood, his teen years were total chaos.

felix didn’t care for grades as much as his sister nor his father. he preferred to go out on rooftops, take pictures & play lacrosse.

when he has to spend time home, he’d read endless books. from his school ones to the old papers on his father’s library.

at 12, it was known that felix had adhd. so it seemed to his parents that things were always twice as hard.

felix liked to go on adventures, discover & find himself. being confined in a classroom wasn’t part of his plans. which resulted in him skipping classes and barely passing.

his parents were FURIOUS! it wasn’t what was expected of the son of an astrophysicist and a university professor. he was officially the family disappointment.

felix decided to get away and go to uni in chicago. living by himself and making up a new life. he’s still trying to find himself & what he wants to be.

he doesn’t want to be a poet, but he liked the program so why not?!

he’s obsessed with coffee, so you’ll see him in the coffee shop like 24/7. whether he’s studying, eating or simply wandering.

he’s very laid-back..almost TOO much.

he’s also messy & a professional procrastinator.

although, he’s passionate, helpful, giving & quite smart.

his sleep is also very important.

he wears glasses bc he’s FUCKING BLIND.

if i had to chose a season to describe him it would be autumn & his harry potter house is hufflepuff.

will do illegal stuff bc 1. doesn’t care/believe in restriction ( authoritative figures aren’t his ting ) 2. he’s a small bug who wants to DISCOVER THE WHOLE GODDAMN WORLD IN ORDER TO FIND HIMSELF.

THEM OTHER FACTS;

when he was younger he attended a preppy ass school, through middle school to high school.

improvisation is his middle name.

smooth ass liar but barely uses his skills unless it’s a touchy subject or he’s trying to get himself out of trouble.

the boi can also hold grudges like nobody’s business.

his older sister has a son! felix loves his nephew so much! you’ll see him hanging with him since his sister also take uni classes and the dad isn’t around. felix is the best babysitter and a cutie with baby theo! the baby boy looks like felix so people can mistake the small boy for his son or brother.

has 10000 tattoos.

HE’S A FUCKING CHILD GOSH. + INNOCENT TROUBLEMAKER

if he’s high it’s becuse he ate pot brownies without realizing. always high on fucking edibles bc his frends are junkies and he doesnt mind.

but in all SERIOUSNESS. felix is insecure but won’t show it through words, although you’d be able to notice through his gestures.

his eyes are so expressive it’s amazing, like he doesn’t need to speak bc his eyes do it for him.

few know about his smol adhd. he doesn’t like to acknowledge it. bc his parents shunned it so much.

he has depth, so many layers. it’s magical.

sometimes he’s a sad boy because he doesn’t know where he’s going, who he is and is scared of feeling like that forever.

is emotionally scarred from the ‘’oppression’’ caused by his parents. them saying poems will lead him nowhere. that he needed to enter into pure & applied sciences program to be someone. for him to stop acting like a child. get his shit together. basically not. be. himself.

so if he distances himself it’s because he feels like he isn’t good enough & doesn’t want to cause trouble.

#mochahq: intro #*･˙˖ ⏤ 𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝑜𝒻 𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓈𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓈 𝒾'𝓋𝑒 𝒹𝑜𝓃𝑒 ;「 OOC. 」#wow #this is hella long #soz guys #<3
