Yandere Baki Short Stories: My Beloved Best Friend

Yandere Hector Doyle x GN Reader

Very slight Yandere if you squint

For my dear friends @hectordoylesmalewife & @amisalami03

“Look at that outfit… that is a cry for help.” Hector Doyle sipped on his taro bubble tea as he pointed out a ‘medium ugly’ man to (your name) at the mall. “Doesn’t he know neons do not suit his skin tone?”

(Your name) put their chin in their hands to subtly glance over at the target of Doyle’s criticism. He wasn’t wrong about that man’s outfit being horrendous but he didn’t have to be so mean. “It is a terribly match up, but who are we to judge?”

Doyle clicked his tongue and uncrossed his legs. The redhead leaned forward and pouted at (your name). “Well aren’t you just a sweet little thing?” Doyle then gestures to their pastel purple outfit. “Little miss sugar plum fairy.”

“Oh hush, twinker belle.” (Your name) playfully hit his arm, the assassin blushed a bit. “You do actually look nice with red lipstick and that black dress on.”

“Of course I do. I look good in everything.” Doyle haughtily stuck his nose up in the air. “I’m beautiful.”

(Your name) giggled at their best friend. Doyle was such an enigmatic person but for some reason, he opened himself up to them. The two of them were two peas in a pod despite their vastly different personalities.

Doyle was never afraid to say what was on his mind while (your name) kept to themselves.

“As much as I’d love to keep making fun of people’s questionable choices in clothing, I would like to know what you have been up to lately. How did that date go the other day with that painter?” Doyle inquired about (your name)’s love life. The redhead already knew the answer but he still wants to hear it from their point of view. It wasn’t hard to hide a body.

“Well… he never showed.” (Your name) sighed softly with a frown. “I’m starting to think I’m cursed.”

“You have me.” Doyle grabbed their hand and ran his thumb over their knuckles. “I’m always here for you. You can just hangout with me.”

(Your name) smiled brightly at Doyle, his heart stopped for a second. They had no idea how enchanting they were… how they made Doyle’s heart leap in his chest. Of Doyle’s feelings.

“I do don’t I? You’re seriously the best, Doyle.”

Doyle quickly recovered, the man glanced over at a sweets shop in the mall. “How about I treat you to some sweets to cheer you up?”

“If you’re buying it with your own money and not someone else’s.”

“You know I’m a criminal so you can either accept my kindness or I’ll buy myself chocolates and eat them in front of you.” Doyle leaned on his hands and gave (your name) a grin.

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Oh but I would. And I’ll lick my fingers in front of you.” Doyle places his palms flat on the sticky mall table. “Now do you accept my kindness or do you wish to be a voyeur to my voracious appetite for sweets?”

(Your name) sighed, “okay. I accept the exploits of your thievery.”

“Good because I also stole you some bath bombs from lush and a few products from Sephora.”

“You need to be stopped.” (Your name) giggled but Doyle only gave them a grin.

“But then who would take care of you?” The two continued to bicker between giggles and smiles. Doyle’s arm loosely wrapped around their waist. “I’d do anything for you.”

For now he’d accept his position in their life. He could be patient. He will continue to be their beloved best friend until the day (Your name) realized that Doyle was their soulmate. That they were meant to be…

“I’d do anything for you.” Doyle repeated softly to himself as he glanced down at (your name) bright smile. “Anything.”

⟢ sleepovers and treatments

➜ in which ! kyle enters the world of lush and beauty.

💌 ﹫kyle broflovski.

✩ 🎸 warnings﹗none.

🍓 ⟡ notes — i need to get my lush life together tbh

kyle never was that interested in skincare or beauty if we're being real here, seriously guys, be honest.

of course he takes care of his hair but, very minimal.

so when he starts dating you and is invited for a sleepover at yours, he's beyond shocked at what he witnessed in your bathroom.

"Why do you have so much stuff." He murmured in disbelief, jaw dropped at the sight of your bathroom.

You laughed pulling out two face masks. "It makes me feel good, I feel accomplished and it makes me feel pretty."

He rolled his eyes, "I don't think you need all that though."

"Probably," You joked pushing him so he was sitting on the toilet, walking between his legs to start putting on his face mask, "But it's fun, it's cool, and it's trendy. And you feel like you aged down 50 years so I say that's a win."

"Oh really?" He questioned, his arms dragging you closer to him by your waist, giving you a kiss on your collarbone. "We'll see about that."

and see he did.

usually he would just, not do this. like he would just refuse.

but something about the way you just lit up whenever he let you do something had his heart melting.

so he let you put all kinds of products on his face, and tbh, took note of what might work, for research purposes ofc.

you even managed to get him to realize how bad his hair is and how he needs to bring it to its glory. lord knows how much he needed your advice on that one.

one of the main reasons he let you do this though, was because of how close you would get to him.

he loves you. which means he loves being around.

so the fact that you're so up and close to him most of the time sends butterflies to his stomach and almost gets him to giggle.

if you're standing while he sits, he'll let his hands rest at your hips to circle them or draw/write things into your skin.

extra points; he kisses any skin he sees to make you flustered.

extra extra points; you sitting in his lap so whenever he wants hell just start kissing your neck, whispering sweet nothings.

this whole ordeal lasts fucking hours. let's say you start at like 7, this shit will take up until 11 or 12.

why? either you two get distracted talking about gossip or kyle is being dramatic and refuses to do something.

"Do I have to?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow, watching you take out your nail equipment.

"Yeah, your nails are horrendous to look at. You have some hot hands, they can be even hotter with good nails." You explained with a smirk, "And it's not like I'm going to color them unless you want me to."

"... What colors do you have?"

ended up not doing any color nail polish sadly, one day you'll get him though. don't worry, time is unlimited.

"All this... for a bath." He uttered turning to you in shock seeing what you had laid out for him.

He tilted his head as he watched the bath continue to steam up. Looking to the end of the bath he realized there was a stool with a few things on it.

For one, his favorite drink was in a wine bottle. Ice and mini umbrella included. Then there was a radio with old classic hits playing, some grapes, a lit vanilla candle, and a bunch of different varieties of bath bombs.

All this, for a bath.

You simply smiled, "Welcome to the lavish life."

he will be doing this at home any chance he gets.

or he'll just go over to your place. either which works.

you tried for funsies to try and do his makeup and he simply refused knowing it would somehow get passed around.

but, he wanted to do your hair to see if he was any good (totally not bc he wanted to do it for you every day in case you didn't want to). and how could you deny your boyfriend?

you started off with braids and he was surprisingly good at it for his first time. a few mistakes but overall pretty good.

this is just a silly lil thing but i imagine the two of you listening to barbie, specifically can you keep a secret while doing your routine.

NO ACTUALLY I LIED, IT WOULD BE FABULOUS, SHARPAY EVANS. JUST IMAGINE DANCING TO THAT SONG IN FRONT OF MIRROR OH LORD. KYLE GOING ALL SASSY-

by the end of the night, he feels like a new man.

he's never, and in his words, "felt so clean"

"So...." Kyle murmured climbing onto the bed to lay his head on your chest.

You smiled immediately letting your hands play with his curls, "Hmm?"

".... When are we doing this again?"

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Y/n padded around their open pan kitchen gracefully, her boyfriend Chris pressing a soft kiss to her lips, his hands placed onto her chin. “I’ll be back before midnight baby, alright? Ring me if you need anything, I love you so so much” He whispered against her lips, kissing both her cheeks then her nose, causing it to wrinkle adorably in response.

“Okayyy Chris, go enjoy yourself and don’t get too drunk. I’ll be fine, now go you big goof” Y/n laughed pushing her man’s hands from her waist and pushing him towards the front door, even handing him his baseball cap on the way out.

'Finally’ She thought to herself, a night just for her to relax by herself, and of course her baby Dodge who was now looking up at her with his puppy eyes. Giving him a scratch to the ear she went off to her first mission, a lavender scented bubble bath with a lush bath bomb, something Chris had specifically bought for her.

God was he smitten with her. His friends were even surprised he came out tonight, ever since they had started dating 2 years ago he had been on his knees for her basically, he was definitely the happiest he had ever been. Taking off her clothes Y/n settled into the steaming hot water, her hair tied into a bun onto the top of her head, her skin turning in the purple water.

It all started when Chris came into her family’s restaurant that Y/n was helping out in over the Christmas holidays, and Chris couldn’t help but obviously ogle the gorgeous woman in front of him. Her beautiful eyes and caring demeanour immediately attracted him, heck on their first date he even made her a bouquet out of books. Books she had mentioned that were on her reading list during one of their first conversations-

*BANG*

Interrupting her daydreaming session, Y/n sat up a bit more in the tub, but this time more alert. Silence filled the bathroom,

Chris would definitely have called up to here by now?

Not having a good feeling whatsoever, Y/n stood up and put on Chris’ white fluffy robe that she tended to steal often. Dodger’s poor whines calling at her through the en suite bathroom. Opening the door, she knew something was wrong when she heard multiple male voices booming from the downstairs. Her heart basically dropped to her pussy, bless her soul.

Within seconds she went from a state of panic to pure fear, what the fuck do you even do in this situation? What if they were armed?

Hearing footsteps come up the house, she backed herself and Dodger back into the bathroom, turned off the lights and settled them into the corner furthest away from the door. Her hands were shaking as she texted Chris

Y/n: There’s people in the house Chris, I don’t know what to do but i’m calling 911. Do not call me or else they’ll hear

Not even waiting for his response she straight away called 911, and those few seconds of ringing were the worst few seconds of her life. Poor Dodger was whining at his momma, his snout booping her arm to hide under it himself. Y/n was shivering, cursing at herself for putting her clothes into the washing machine before getting into the bath. Now she was stuck and practically naked.

911: 911 What’s your emergency

Y/n heard whispers and shouts coming from the direction of their bedroom, surely they were close by, fuck sake.

Y/n: There’s people that have broken into my house, please come quickly, i’m at (insert address)

911: Ma’am who else is there with you? I’ve dispatched a team, so stay on the line with me

Y/n: U-uh just me and my dog, my boyfriend’s out right now but I’ve let him know-

*Rattle*

Y/n: please please hurry they're trying to get into the room im in

Y/n felt herself freeze, multiple bangs were thrown against the tough bathroom door, which she could only assume was them throwing their shoulders against it; accompanied with the door knob rattling every few seconds.

911: Ma’am they’re on their way I promise, stay on the line with me, you don’t have to talk but stay on the line

Y/n switched the tabs on her phone and saw the spam texts from Chris

Chris: babe what do you mean?

Chris: Hello?

Chris: HELLO

Chris: Did you call 911?

Chris: Y/n are you safe?

Chris: I’m on my way.

And that text was sent 8 minutes ago.

Y/n: Dodger and I are in the bathroom hiding, I don’t know how many there are but the police are on their way. I’m not coming out of here unless you’re the one outside the door

Turning her phone off, she listened to the reassurance coming from the caller, her breath shuttering and her eyes letting tears out from fear. Thankfully the intruders seemed to have just left the bathroom door, probably ransacking the array of jewellery hidden around their shared bedroom.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Chris’ knuckles whitened on his drive home, dare I say he even ran through a few red lights and speed limits. His girlfriend had sent him that most recent text and Jesus, his heart was going 100 miles an hour.

Approaching their suburban house, Chris saw the police cars lined up and down the street, multiple officers standing by the front door.

“Excuse me officer, my girlfriend is inside” Chris said shoving past them and forcing his way inside to see two officers cuffing two men who were clearly off on some sort of substance, Chris didn’t even want to imagine what they were capable of.

Ignoring the questions and pleas from the officers to calm down, Chris sprinted up the stairs, skipping a few along the way. Their house had absolutely been ransacked, furniture and their beloved items thrown carelessly around the place, photo frames cracked and scrambled. To say he was angry was an understatement, not even words could describe how he was feeling.

“Ma’am it’s okay to come out, it’s police, i’m Officer Birch-“

“I told you, i’m not coming out until my boyfriend is here” He heard her voice say, not the usual jolly sound he loved, but a fragile broken tone.

Going over to the door past the officers,

“Baby? It’s me Chris”

“Chris?”

“It’s me honey, your Chris-“

Before he could even say anything else, the door had been thrown open and his girlfriend was back where she belonged, with him and in his arms. Her body still clad in his white robe as sobs wrecked through her entire body, was this really happening right now?

Chris felt himself sigh in relief knowing that she was safe,

“Sir, we need a statement-“

“Can we leave it to tomorrow bud? It’s late, you can come back tomorrow” Chris whispered, but the silence in the room amplified it. His arms rubbing up and down Y/n’s back, his lips kissing the top of her head. Nodding at Chris, the officers left and the only thing to be heard a few minutes later was the front door clicking shut.

“I-I was so scared, Dodger was scared too. What if they got the bathroom door open-“

“Bunny shh, i’m here, you’re safe now okay?” Chris cupped her face in his hands, his nose nuzzling gently against hers, Y/n’s glossy eyes staring back into his deep blue ones.

“Do we have to stay here Chris? Don’t wanna”

“No baby, i’ve got something set up for us already, you don’t need to worry your pretty head about anything else. Now let’s get you and Dodge all set up and ready to go” Before Chris could even leave the embrace, Y/n had latched onto him shaking her head, his heart breaking even more.

“Alright bunny you stay with me yeah?”

Nodding, Y/n held onto his hand and let him lead her towards her dressed. The shock from the break in still extremely fresh in her mind. Holding onto his shoulders, Chris helped her slip on her underwear and fluffy pyjamas bottoms and then his soft jumper to top it off. In silence Y/n watched Chris pack both their overnight bags, along with Dodger’s who was sitting patiently with his head in Y/n’s lap.

“Come on bunny, let’s get outta here” Chris said softly holding his hand out for her to hold, both of them getting out of the car quickly and into Chris’ car, Y/n not letting go of his hand once.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

“ babe, we’re gonna stay here is that ok?” Chris had driven them to his smaller bungalow almost an hour away, a place they use for small getaways to the countryside. Y/n nodded looking at him with a small smile, feeling a sense of comfort looking at the familiar house.

With Dodger settled in the living room in his bed with his water and food bowl, the pup knocked out from exhaustion almost instantly. Chris frowning at the effect it had on his little companion before following his lover into the small cosy bedroom. Lit up by rosey lamps, Y/n took his hand and led him to the fluffy bed. Her arms wrapping around his torso, her head laying on his pec.

“I was so scared of losing you ya know?” Chris whispered brushing through her hair with his hands, his lips pecking her forehead every so often, her fingers tracing shapes over his bare chest. His clothes discarded onto the floor mindlessly with Y/n whimpering about wanting to be as close to him as possible.

“I love you Chris, thank you for coming as soon as possible. I-I was terrified and I still am to be honest. I know with you i’m safe”

“I-I love you so much more baby, you don’t even understand. I will never let any bastard come near you again, and it never should have happened. I’m sorry I couldn’t have done more though”

“You’ve done all you can Chris, and you’ve done more than enough by just being here with me”

Chris tilted her head up and kissed her lips softly, his lips travelling to her cheeks and neck, leaving a trail of open mouthed wet kisses; something he knew comforted her. One of her legs wrapped around his waist so she was fully on him, her lips pecking his chest softly before laying her head down.

Thankfully soon enough, Chris watched her eyes close peacefully, the stress of the day leaving her for now. All Chris knew was that he would be with her every step of the way during this whole ordeal, so much that he couldn’t help but steal another kiss from her lips, her lips smiling subconsciously in her sleep. His hands up under his jumper that she was wearing, lazily drawing shapes onto her back, her soft breaths filling the room.

Fairytale of Seattle

Platonic!Alice and Rosalie x reader

SUMMARY: Day 2! A girly shopping trip with Alice and Rosalie - what could go wrong?

Trigger warnings: none, I don’t think.

…

Today was the day. Alice had somehow convinced you and Rosalie to come shopping with her. After much begging and pleading, you had no choice but to give in. Much as you had complained about it, a tiny part of you had been looking forward to it.

Setting off early in the morning, the three of you made your way to Seattle, as Alice said it had ‘the BEST shops!’. You had to take her word for it on that one. You knew next to nothing about all that sort of thing, and Rosalie had to agree. Shopping was very much Alice’s forte, not that she hadn’t tried to change that with you two. The car ride had been very uneventful, but you had requested Christmas songs on the way, and before you knew where you were, you were all yelling the words at the tops of your voices. Even Rosalie had been persuaded to join in.

Several rounds of Step into Christmas and one particularly heartfelt rendition of ABBA’s Happy New Year later, you reached the city, before finally swinging into a parking spot just as you were belting out the final chorus of Christmas Lights. The festivities didn’t stop there; you all but danced down the street, arm in joyful arm. Every shop was totally decked out with every kind of decoration you could possibly imagine. Bells jingling, fake candles flickering, fake snow glittering; it was a magical sight to see. There was real snow on the pavement and on the roads, turning to slush as you walked through it. Thank goodness today wasn’t a sunny day, or else you’d all be sparkling like the snow.

The first shop you wandered into was, of course, a clothes shop. You knew that there’d be no escaping it, with Alice in charge of the trip. You dutifully tried on all the clothes she practically threw at you, and even found a few pieces that you actually liked. Say what you like about Alice, but she has damn good taste. She said that you’d need outfits for several occasions, including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve. and that was just for starters. The pair of you decided to humour her and just go along with what she was telling you. Rosalie looked absolutely stunning in a short, sparkly red dress that made her legs look ten miles long and set off her pearly skin perfectly. Alice herself was happily parading around in a white number, that she said was ‘perfect for New Year’s Eve!’

Next, you found yourself in a bookstore, trying to find presents for the rest of the Cullens. Shopping with Alice was like walking in a tornado; you never knew where you’d end up next. You decided on a book on the history of Chicago for Edward, and some medical tome for Carlisle, not that there wasn’t anything about medicine that he didn’t already know. Esme liked her hobbies, so you chose a book on flower-pressing for her. Smiling, you pretended not to look as Alice picked up the book you’d wanted for ages. You paid for all your books, and you all but staggered out of the shop carrying them all in tote bags full to bursting, making you really wish you’d got them last.

By this time, it was around noon. The next shop you hit was a homeware store, to pick up some new decorations for the Christmas tree and a gingerbread house kit. Even though you couldn’t actually eat it, they were so fun to make. Carlisle could always bring it as a treat for the other workers at the hospital. Sighing, you thought about the long-ago times when you could’ve eaten it. But now was not the time for reflection. You finished quickly there, sporting tinsel feather boas for some extra festive pizzazz. Stopping at LUSH, you bought yourself a bath bomb, along with some other goodies for the girls. More shops, more gifts. It was never-ending in the best way possible.

By 6 o’clock, you had well and truly shopped until you dropped. The car ride back was another karaoke bonanza, featuring Rosalie’s incredible version of All I Want for Christmas is You. You had found that Rosalie had taken a lot of thawing, but once you knew her, she really was a lovely person to be around. Same with Alice, but she was as bubbly as a bath. She had already declared you firm friends on the first day you met. It was times like Christmas when you were really grateful for the Cullens and the warm welcome they had extended to you; having nobody to spend Christmas with was miserable.

Back at the house, the fun continued with a screening of Elf, everyone in the matching pyjamas Alice had somehow managed to sneak into the shopping basket at one point, totally unbeknownst to you. The faces Edward made when he was presented with them were absolutely priceless. It had been a fun day. Maybe you’d let Alice take you shopping again soon. Not too soon, though!

…

Hope you enjoyed :)

Part 3 of Tell me this isn't goodbye love above^

Tell me this isn't goodbye love part 4

A knock on the door interrupted the intimate moment, Larissa looked at me hesitantly, before motioning for me to open the door. I pulled a house coat around myself and opened the door, there stood Wednesday and Enid.

"Hello Ms. Weems we figured you would need some company,given the situation and all"

Enid whispered, I beckoned the girls inside and went to the kitchen grabbing a plate of cookies and some milk.

"Here girls, there's so much food in the house right now and I have not had much of an appetite"

They ate cookies in silence, and Wednesday looked me up and down,

"You're pregnant?"

I nodded hesitantly,

"Yes, with twins"

Wednesday smiled,

"Principal Weems would have been so happy"

I felt the familiar ache in my heart appear and I shook my head,

"Girls I cannot lie to you about this anymore, Larissa come here please"

They exchanged worried looks as if I was insane, but when Larissa entered the living room the girls rushed her, hugging her tight.

"Don't ever die on me again"

Wednesday whispered softly tears in her eyes, Larissa slumped her shoulders sagging she wiped tears from their faces.

"It's alright, I-I am alive and I'm not going anywhere"

The girls stayed for a while visiting promising to keep Larissa a secret until she decided what to do. When they were gone Larissa got up putting their glasses in the sink, I moaned in pain and agony. My nipples throbbed, Larissa came into the living room to see me slowly and tediously attempting to peel my top off.

"Darling let me help"

She removed my shirt and her eyes darkened at the sight of my milk swollen buds, she rung her hands in the air. Quickly getting the nipple balms and sheild's before gently attaching the breast pump to my body, and attaching the bottles. My breasts that had once been sizeable c-cups now stretched and swollen to the size of triple d's ached. Her breathing became shallow, and she was pulled from her lust filled fog by a scream that escaped me at the flick of a switch.

She turned it off almost immediately,

"Darling does it hurt? I'm so sorry baby"

I bit my cheek tears rolling down my face she gently rubbed my back,

"It will hurt less once we release some of your milk"

I whimpered burying my face in her neck as she flicked the machine on again, she whispered soothing words, in my ear and kissed my temple.

"Shush baby that's it, that's it your doing so well for me, getting milk ready for our little ones, your such a good mommy. So good to me and our babies, it's alright love I've got you"

After we had pumped at least ten bottles, I was exhausted from crying. She turned the machine off releasing my breasts with a soft audible pop, she carefully removed the nipple guards, a bit of milk getting on her fingers she licked it off. I stared at her bewildered, and she smirked eye balling my breasts.

"Just a taste love?"

I looked at her in complete shock, and partially covered my breasts, my skin gently bumping them causing more milk to leak down my abdomen. I blushed at the idea,

"Fine, only a little but that's it and definitely not in the living room"

Larissa nodded eagerly, and carried the bottled milk into the kitchen dating them and setting them in the refrigerator. She carried me upstairs to our bedroom, and ran a bubble bath, setting a bath bomb in the water, I smiled. It was the turmeric latte lush bath bomb, our favorite. She lit candles and turned on some slow music, she undressed me guiding me into the water, I immediately relaxed, and Larissa quickly stripped joining me in the water. She smiled at me softly and kissed my lips, kissing her way down my neck to my chest she kissed the edge of my collar bone before kissing the top of each breast her eyes seeking permission.

I smiled softly,

"Alright darling, but only a little"

She curled herself into my lap so her mouth was level with my nipple, she latched her mouth on and swirled her tongue over it gently sucking till a small amountof breast milk flowed in her mouth. Larissa sat up in shock and hummed swallowing it,

"I can't believe I am saying this my love. But I'm jealous of the twins"

I giggled softly,

"Okay well you tried it, no more please"

Larissa smiled and kissed my temple,

"Of course darling"

She allowed me to relax in the tub, her hands running along the soft globe of my stomach, feeling the twins move.

I giggled softly, and Larissa smiled,

"They are always so restless whenever you touch them and it tickles till it hurts"

Larissa hummed kissing my lips and then my belly. Larissa helped me wash my hair and the wrest of my body and carried me to bed.

Larissa smiled,

"I'm not to heavy for you?"

Larissa shook her head no, she gently lay me in our massive bed and scooted me over to my side.

"We can take a nap and then order take away darling"

I nodded, Larissa climbed into bed with me and held me,I drifted off to sleep while she rolled vitamin E oil on my tummy. It felt like a massage, I smiled sleepily, humming in approval. I finally fell asleep and when I woke up, Larissa was sitting with her head in her hands and sadness in her eyes. She noticed me waking up, and wiped a tear away walking over to me.

"Darling what is it, what's wrong?"

Larissa frowned,

"Your Mother is here love"

Oh, yes, that Mother. The Mother who did not approve of you being a lesbian or married to a woman, the woman who hated Larissa and verbally abused her every chance she got. The mother you were specifically avoiding because she practically danced and cheered when she found out Larissa "died" that Mother. The mother who had no clue you were pregnant because you refused to let her help after she hurt Larissa that way, much less yourself, I thought. I sighed,

"Where is she?"

Larissa frowned,

"In the kitchen, cooking dinner"

I motioned for Larissa to help me get dressed, and Larissa immediately came over. She helped me put on comfortable clothing, a pair of black leggings, and warm socks , and an off the shoulder Jericho pd sweatshirt with a sports bra.

I put on my slippers with the grips, and Larissa and I made our way downstairs. Larissa went into the living room, and I silently watched my mother cook. She passed back and forth long silvery gray hair wound in a braid, a towel tucked in my apron. The food smelled delicious, I sighed and she finally turned around, she smiled softly looking at my stomach and then back up at me. She kissed my cheek, in that moment I felt like christ being kissed and betrayed by Judas but I let it happen just this once.

"Sweet girl, pregnancy suits you"

I hugged my sides,

"Thanks, but Mom what are you doing here?"

She stood back eyeing me like I'm stupid,

"I'm cooking for you, which is what your little friend should be doing"

I shook my head already feeling irritation clawing at my throat,

"You mean my wife Mom?"

My mother, grabbed my arms and caressed them soothingly,

"Let's not do this today, please, let's just have a nice dinner"

I shook my head incredulously,

"No we are doing this, look at me Mother! That woman is the only thing keeping me steady, keeping me alive. Keeping me happy, she makes me feel balanced and loved and cared for and respected in a way, that I'm sorry, but you NEVER did when I was growing up. I love her with all that I am, she is everything to me"

Larissa came into the kitchen at the sound of my yelling, my mother visibly flinched at my words. I took a sip from a glass of water, waiting to hear what she said next.

"I'm sorry but she's not good enough for you, you are a normal human being and she- she isn't even human, shes a freak"

I slammed the glass on the counter breaking it effectively cutting my hand, I pointed a bloody finger at my mother.

"Guess what Mother so am I ? I'm a psychic and half vampire from dad's side. And your grandchildren, the twins, they are shape shifters just like my WIFE. AND IF YOU CAN'T GET OVER THAT AND RESPECT MY WIFE OR YOUR OWN DAUGHTER THEN YOU NEED TO GET THE FUCK OUT"

I was shaking, my mother looked at me teary eyed and back at Larissa ,

"I just want what's best for you, I don't want to see you struggle through life because you are with a woman, let alone a woman who isn't normal"

Her voice was soft, and I lowered my own, my voice choked by emotion,

"God it's like you weren't even listening to what I just said, Mom no one is normal, grandma wasn't. Grandma was a psychic and if you weren't so hell bent on trying to be the perfect Stepford wife to your new husband, who literally hunts vampires for a living you would realize that how you are acting how you are behaving is all wrong. I mean honestly would it really make a difference to you if Larissa was a man?"

My mother paused for a moment, and Larissa shifted into a more masculine version of herself. My mother's eyes widened, and I saw an apologetic look cross her face, as she looked up into Larissa’s tear filled eyes.

"Your right sweet heart, it shouldn't matter to me. I'm sorry"

I shrugged her away from me,

"Apologize to Larissa, and Mom maybe get to know her next time before you make assumptions"

I walked away blood leaking from my arm, I made my way to the bathroom and tore through the first aid kit. A large shard of glass had punctured my arm, I removed it with tweezers, and cleaned the wound flushing any glass debris out of it before stitching it shut with one hand and bandaging it. I sealed all the other small cuts from the glass with bandages, when I walked back into the kitchen they were hugging, something that surprised me. My mother kissed Larissa on the cheek,

"Make sure she's okay please, I'm sorry to have caused you so much pain and hurt Larissa, I'll be better"

Larissa nodded and smiled misty eyed. Larissa saw me walk out of the bathroom, and her eyes widened,

"Honey, your poor hands and arm"

I shrugged,

"I'm fine love"

Larissa shook her head no,

"Come sit down, you need to nap still, you look exhausted darling"

I shook my head, and my mother piped up from the kitchen,

"Listen to your wife"

I relented allowing Larissa to guide me over to the couch, I curled up on it my head in her lap. She tucked a blanket over me and kissed my cheek playing with my hair,I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

An hour later when dinner was ready my mother woke Larissa and I up, Larissa kissed my cheek and I yawned warily. My mother smiled and helped Larissa walk me to the kitchen table,

" its a an egg plant and chicken parmesean with bow tie noodles and homemade sauce"

Larissa smiled,

"Thank you Mom, it's wonderful"

I smirked eating the food, feeling emotion claw at my throat at them finally getting along. I continued to eat in silence. Tears rolling down my face, when they finally looked at me they both began to dote on me and I lost it. Swallowing the lump of food in my mouth, Larissa kissed my forehead and my mother rubbed my shoulders.

"Oh darling it's alright, shush, your okay, do you need something? Is something wrong?"

My mother immediately grabbed me a water and I sipped it gratefully,

"Your hormones are out of control right now aren't they sweet heart"

I nodded,

"That's completely normal, I used to cry at those little dog videos with the Sarah Mclaughlin song that played when I was pregnant with you"

Larissa held me and I calmed down, we went back to eating and when we had finished. Larissa let my mother sit with me on the couch and relax, while she did the dishes and packed up the leftovers.

I looked up at my mother who was delicately carding my fingers through my hair,

"Would you like to feel your grandsons moving?"

My mother nodded and bit her lip, tears in her eyes, I delicately placed her hand to my stomach right where the twins were moving and she smiled.

"I'm your grandma, your mommy's mommy,and tonight you had grandma's chicken and eggplant parmesean, was it yummy, I think it was so good your dancing"

I laughed and eventually she released my stomach, my mother spent the night in our guest room, she was going to be staying for a couple of days to help Larissa around the house with laundry and cleaning and getting more stuff for the twins room. Larissa carried me upstairs and sat me on our bed kissing my softly.

"I love you darling"

I smiled whispering it back to her, she cradled me protectively to her chest, and when I awoke the next morning, I quietly made my way downstairs. My mother was in the kitchen sipping a coffee, a breakfast casserole cooling on the counter and a fruit salad beside it. I took my supplements in silence, and she smiled at me, I kissed her cheek and hummed grabbing a helping of the casserole and a glass of water.

"You know a coffee is not going to hurt you right?"

I looked up at her expectantly as I sat,

"Mom are you sure because I have been avoiding it because I didn't know if I could have it"

My mother smiled,

"Call Dr. Cosgrove if you don't believe me to be sure, who knows maybe it's changed since I was pregnant"

I nodded, and called Dr. Cosgrove,

"Hello Y/N, how are you and the twins doing?"

I smiled,

"We are fine, a little tired. Listen, I was wondering do you think it would be safe if I had a cup of coffee"

Dr. Cosgrove responded immediately,

"Coffee should be fine, but no more then twelve ounces daily"

I nodded and thanked the Doctor hanging up. I poured myself a single 3 ounce cup of coffee and added cream and sugar, I hummed in approval as I took a sip and my mom laughed.

I ate the breakfast casserole in silence,

"Where's Larissa mom? She wasn't in bed with me when I woke up"

My mother smiled,

"She ran to the grocery store so I could meal prep for the two of you for next week,and to grab a few last minute necessities"

I instantly relaxed and was finishing my first slice of casserole when Larissa entered our home, she sat down the groceries and kissed my cheek.

"Darling, is that coffee?"

I nodded,

"Dr. Cosgrove said I was allowed to have no more then twelve ounces daily, so I'm having a 2 ounce cup now and a little more later, that way I can help you both with whatever you may need"

Larissa smiled and kissed my cheek again, my mother smiled at her,

"Larissa darling sit and eat, I'll put this away and get started on meals for you both"

Larissa smiled and hugged my mother,

"Okay, after I eat though I can hel-"

My mother cut her off,

"You can help your wife pump her breast milk, and then help me, or your wife with whatever you want"

Larissa nodded in agreement, and I groaned thinking about the suction cup machine from hell, Larissa giggled.

"Come on love, you'll feel better afterwards"

Larissa finished her food and I finished my second slice of casserole, and Larissa guided me to the living room. I carefully removed my blouse my back to my mother so she wouldn't see anything. Larissa applied the nipple balm to my breasts, and put the guard on before attaching the machine and the bottles. She kissed my cheek and held me while she turned it on, I groaned in a mix of pain and relief, as the bottles filled with milk rapidly.

Larissa kissed me and whispered in my ear gently rubbing my back,

"Your doing so good baby, perfect for our babies. Such a good mommy"

When those bottles were full she gently turned the machine off and swapped the bottles put attaching new ones, I leaned back against her letting it happen. When we had finally finished pumping I was tired, she detached the machine carefully and cleaned off my chest applying the soothing balm to my nipples. I sighed contentedly. Larissa helped me put my shirt back on, and my mother helped Larissa carried the milk back into the kitchen I had produced enough for twenty bottles today, my mother had two different meals in the oven and was helping Larissa assemble the second crib upstairs.

When there was a knock on the door, I slowly stood up and I went to answer the door. Wednesday and Enid stood their with a bunch of gifts, I smiled,

"Come in girls, my mother and Larissa are just upstairs"

I called upstairs,

"Mom, Larissa. Wednesday and Enidbare here to visit"

I shuttled the girls into the kitchen, and they sat I grabbed them each a slice of the breakfast casserole and a bowl of fruit.

"What do you ladies want to drink? There is milk, tea, juice, and coffee"

Wednesday and Enid smiled,

"I'll take a black coffee, Enid what do you want?"

Enid smiled,

"Coffees good"

I passed them each a cup of coffee and handed Enid the cream and sugar, when Larissa entered the kitchen she smiled at the girls and hugged them.

Wednesday spoke up,

"We kept your secret, however we did let in that you were expecting twins, and we kind of planned an impromptu baby shower and this is everything we collected from students and faculty"

Larissa smiled,

"Girls you do not need to keep it a secret anymore, I will be returning to the Academy after the twins are born and theg are on a proper sleep schedule, I already let the school board know"

Wednesday smiled at Larissa’s words and Enid blushed looking at me all shy,

"Can I, can I feel your stomach again?"

"I think they like you Ms. Sinclair"

I nodded my head and sat,

"Of course, here"

I guided her hand to the spot I knew the twins were resting and she beamed,

"Aww, their all curled up together"

She jumped startle when she felt a kick, I giggled,

Enid smiled,

"Wen honey you have got to feel them"

Wednesday looked at me nervously and at Larissa for reassurance, Larissa laughed,

"Honestly Wednesday it's a baby not a bomb child, you won't hurt them"

Wednesday nodded, and gently sat her hands in the spot on my tummy, and for a moment I saw an unreadable emotion. Was it fear-No, guilt-maybe,jealousy, perhaps it was all three at once.

She released my stomach from her hands and sat back taking a sip of her coffee, Larissa smiled and leaned over kissing my stomach. I blushed and Larissa smiled,

"Well girls since you are here, how about we put you to work? You can help Y/N put up the Halloween decorations"

Enid smiled and Wednesday nodded in agreement.after the girls had finished their breakfast they gather the decorations from the basement, one heavy box at a time their were ten in total. Wednesday passed me each decoration and I looked them over, giving them directions and they put them up. When we had finished with the indoors, I put on my fall coat and boots, Wednesday grabbed me a camping chair and passed me a blanket after she set it up and I sat. They strung up the orange twinkle lights and cobwebs, putting up fake slides and corn stalks and our jump animations scarecrow.

I smiled at their handiwork when they had finished,

"How would you two feel about pumpkin carving, baking and a horror movie marathon and sleepover?That way Larissa gets to spend time with you two before you have to go back to the Academy,I would say let's go to a haunted house but I'm condition I don't think it's wise"

Wednesday and Enid nodded excitedly, and we made our way back inside. Larissa kissed my cheek,

"The girls are gonna spend the night, and I was thinking it'd be nice if we went to a pumpkin farm and baked some sweets and had pizza and wings"

Larissa nodded her head in agreement and kissed my cheek, my mother came downstairs and hugged the girls. My mother looked exhausted,

"You for go to the pumpkin patch, I'll order the pizza when your on the way home. But for now I'm gonna use that glorious guest bedroom bath tub and take a nap"

I nodded and kissed her cheek,

"Thanks Mom"

She smiled, Larissa quickly showered upstairs and changed, and we made our way out to the car. She had snacks and waters for everyone and we drove to the pumpkin patch in Burlington.

⚓Can I have a ship from Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean & The Walking Dead, please?

I'm pansexual, she/her pronouns. I don't mind being shipped with either gender!

𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔: I'm about 5'5, pale skin, blue/grey eyes, and brown hair. I have many many piercings, and I'm covered in tattoos. I'm curvy/plus size and am body positive.

𝑯𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒊𝒆𝒔: Reading, writing, collecting rings, journaling, tarot. I'm also collecting as many books as I can because I want to have my own library where people can take whichever book they wish.

𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚: INFJ, Chaotic Good, Gryffindor, Aquarius Sun, Capricorn Moon, Aries Rising, Pisces Venus (this last one might help with the match especially). I'm a passionate person and have strong opinions. I will always stand up for what I believe in, no matter how scared I feel. I think I'm quite witty and intelligent, although I do get overwhelmed quite easily. I'm incredibly open-minded and progressive. I love to laugh and make others laugh too. I'm sensitive, and intuitive and can pick up on other people very easily. I have strong gut-feelings and kinda … understand a person's vibe? Like I can sense someone's aura but not see their colour.

𝑨𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄: I love cottagecore, I'm very witchy but also a little grunge and gothic at the same time.

𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒔: Learning - especially witchcraft, watching tv, day-dreaming, listening and discovering new music, I love being at home, writing and then taking a reading break. I adore baths and constantly buy items from Lush.

𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒔: (other than the usual injustices of sexism, racism, and homophobia), I strongly dislike spiders and will scream whenever I see one. I don't like close-minded people, or those who make fun of others. I hate passive-aggressiveness, large crowds and loud sudden noises.

𝑳𝒊𝒍 𝒇𝒖𝒏 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒎𝒆:

・Have shaved my head. Asked my stepdad for his clippers and went into the bathroom and …hacked at my hair. It was very liberating, I think every woman should do it at least once in her lifetime

・I adore animals - I have a cat and dog! I want more but my cat is too much of a princess and won't allow any other animal in the house

・Bought a tattoo gun from the internet and I tattoo myself. I do the majority of my own piercings as well. I like to learn how to do things like that. I've kinda learned how to do hair and do mine, my mum's and my nunna's.

Sorry if this was too much, it's hard to describe oneself in a post. Thank you very much, I hope you have a wonderful day x

Omg absolutely (and also it is liberating hacking your hair off!) 🩷 (Minor swearing)

First I ship you with Cedric Diggory! 💛

He likes all your tattoos taking time and care to trace, look at, and kiss each and every single one on you even when they are close together or bunched up together

Anytime he finds a book whether he got it from his house, a bookshop, his father, a friend, or even amongst the books the library gives to students for free every 5 months of the year he always gives you a new book when he sees you and can

He makes sure if there are loud noises of any kind he always makes sure to either cover your ears or take you out of the room even putting headphones over your head one time when someone was misbehaving and knocked down a shelf in the hallway

He always watches in awe when you practice wand work and spells in front of him captivated by how natural and truly talented you are never saying anything until you take a break or done practicing

Whenever you are having muscle pains he always makes you a hot bath full of bubbles and bath bombs to help relax you staying and talking with you until the water runs cold and you feel much better

He loves seeing you with animals always smiling and feeling his heart flutter by it and it slowly made him fall in love with you even more than he already was

Next I ship you with Jack Sparrow 🖤

He doesn't mind whether your hair is long or short always feeling your hair when it's short and if you grow it out he will always take a chance to run his fingers through it

He always gets you rings whether in a chest with treasure or from a shop on land he always find a different kind of ring for you to wear on your fingers or even around your neck so you can wear a lot at once

He never admits it but he likes how passionate you are for the people you care about and who you wanna be even yelling and pushing Barbossa one time while in a fight with him which surprised jack of how you didn't take any type of shit from anyone

He likes seeing you wearing his button up or hat when everyone is just sailing the seas not fighting or running away from another crew or the royal navy enjoying how you just make him feel like a normal but good man as well

He likes how you always keep him going even when he feels low wondering if he was a true pirate, whether he should be dead, and that he deserved the people around him but you always remind him that you needed him and couldn't love anyone else as much as him

He likes to give you rum even if you don't drink it always laughing at the faces you make realizing that instead of water or anything else you drink whenever you're on your and weren't slowly drink the things you take from land he would give you a small cup of rum but quickly apologizes giving you a cup with water, coconut milk, or goat milk you got from land or one of the many islands you visit

And finally I ship you with Rosita Espinosa! 🧡

She finds and brings you gifts from runs for supplies getting many things from books, jewlery, clean clothes that were your size, and makeup to nail polish, tampons, face masks, and soaps to use in bubble baths

She likes joining you in bubble baths gently washing and caressing your skin relaxing in the water and bubbles with your head leaned on your chest

She likes to read what you write even if it's a note for a supply run she is smiling sweetly looking at the small note or reading a quote you remembered or heard of writing it down to remember it

She likes to dance with you but she loves slow dancing with you just enjoying the feeling of love and the contact with each other with your foreheads connected the whole time

She likes watching and hearing you read especially a long chapter book you slowly read turning a rosy pink when you look up to see her in the door way or sitting above you smiling sweetly

She likes watching you tattoo yourself even doing three little ones on her the first being an infinity symbol behind her ear, followed by a daisy on her wrist, and the last one being a quote in spanish "Per sempre luce mia" meaning "forever my light" on her chest just above her heart

[skittles-the-whumpee]

If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notes, anonymous or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog 🌻 (lol if you wanna do the cheesy thingy)

Three random facts, alrighty, let's go!

1. The first time I ever saw blood was when I was 6. I was try to see if a crayon was water-soluble by putting one on one blade of a pair of scissors...it slipped and left an inch-long, 3mm deep gash on my right middle finger.

2. I am a sucker for the black rose bath bomb from Lush. Black water, smelly-goods, and healthy for my skin? Yes, please~🥰

3. My favorite foods of all time are tacos al pastor and a dish I grew up with In Costa Rica called Gallo Pinto, it has rice, black beans, and diced peppers and served with eggs and sometimes some Salsa Lizano (sauce made in CR).

‘Art of bathing’ By Princess Skye

I found these again posted on this blog, however it has not updated in 5 years. I want to collect as many of Skye’s writings for my blog as I can, so I’m reposting them here. Enjoy. 

I believe one of the simplest daily pleasures is bathing. I think it’s sad that many of us don’t really get to enjoy this ritual anymore. We take a quick shower before work or school, just enough to get clean but without the relaxation that comes with a nice long soak in the tub. I’ve never lived in a house without a bath, I am aware that these exist now (I have much sympathy for you if you lack one!) and I also think that most bath tubs these days are way too small. Someday I’d like a nice big clawfoot bath deep enough to sit in.

I take baths quite regularly, especially in winter. I can think of no better way to relax after a long day and the warm water increases your circulation, easing out any aches and pains and steams your skin leaving you a rosy pink afterwards! I really love bubble baths, but unfortunately a lot of bath mixtures contain unpleasant chemicals. Here are some other ways of enjoying a bath though:

Take your time! This is the first rule of bathing. Set aside a good hour or so to enjoy your bath and have a little ‘princess time’ to yourself. Turn off the TV or loud music, put on some relaxing classical or new age music if you like, and close the door. Set everything up nicely from the start with your soaps and oils all close at hand and have a soft fluffy dressing gown and slippers waiting for you when you emerge. You might even like to light some candles to create a special atmosphere.

Run the bath, it should be warm but not too hot. Use the back of your hand to test the temperature. Really hot baths can be draining rather than relaxing and make you dizzy afterwards (I’ve actually fainted after a too-hot spa bath once) but you don’t want it to be too cold either, or you won’t have long to enjoy it. With practice you’ll learn the right temperature for your body.

Add things! This is the fun part about bathing. You can add so many beautiful-smelling things that are great for your skin too! Here are a few suggestions: bath salts, Epsom salts, dried or fresh flowers, seaweed, essential oils, rolled oats, powdered milk, herbs, spices, bath melts and bath bombs/fizzes. If you’re a girl, you’ve likely been given plenty of soaps and things by well-meaning but distant acquaintances and relatives; now is the time to use them up! Alternatively, you might like to try my Rose Milk Bath recipe below.

Sometimes I am just happy to lay back an enjoy the soak, but if you think extended bathing might be a little too dull for you, try reading! I love reading in the bath because its doubly relaxing for me, however make sure not to get the book wet! I also like to drink herbal teas (cleansing the inside at the same time) and for a real treat, cut up some fresh strawberries and nibble on these as you relax.

Rose Milk Bath

3 tablespoons of milk powder

2 tablespoons of Epsom salts

1 cup of fresh or dried rose petals

6 drops of rose essential oil (5% in Jojoba base or similar)

Add the rose oil and milk powder to the bath as you are running it, making sure it is mixed in well. Just before you step in, spoon in the Epsom salts and scatter the petals on the surface. Leaves your skin soft and lightly scented.

You may also like to visit you closest Lush store to see the amazing range of beautiful bath products they sell, in general the ingredients are mostly natural and some of them look good enough to eat!

how do you like lush perfumes? noticed you have a couple on your shelf (not to be creepy hahaha) i had no idea they made perfumes!

yeah lush have been in the perfume game for a long time! my feelings on lush fragrances are mixed - they're very hit or miss to me, and are a bit rough around the edges to the point where I don't always think they're worth the price. I really like the ones I do have though and think they deliver good quality for price.

the ones I've tried that I didn't like were vanillary, sun, and sikkim girls. the first two didn't work with my skin chemistry at all, maybe because they were both solids, but vanillary literally smelled like pissed on urinal cake and beer on my skin (devastating for 15 year old me). sikkim girls was just very heavy & mature for me at that age, it was so strong that I remember quarantining it to its own wood box because spraying it once made my room smell like it for ages. I don't have the perfume anymore (wish I did! the original gorilla perfume bottles were cute) but the box STILL smells like it nearly 15 years later, lmao.

currently I have the dirty EDP and guardian of the forest body spray, really like them both! I get more longevity & sillage out of the body spray, but (slightly) more complexity out of the EDP. dirty is a herbal spearminty & slightly masculine scent, simple but really refreshing, can't wait to wear it in summer! guardian of the forest is, well...coniferous & vegetal, has almost a health foods store vibe to it in a good way, a little cucumber & a little petrichor, like produce shelves that are being misted. lovely oakmoss drydown that's so comforting (kind of reminds me of sultana of soap, my favorite soap of theirs). I'm pleasantly surprised at how long lasting it is! the EDP ran $55 and the body spray ran $40, so I think for the (relatively minimal) price difference it really just depends on what you want to get out of the experience.

there's a couple EDPs I'd like to try - the smell of weather turning, the smell of freedom, and tank battle have been on my wish list since I was a teenager - but unfortunately they don't seem to sell the perfumes in their perfume vault in smaller 30 ml sizes. if I try any more lush scents it'll probably be from their body spray catalog, because I've been pleasantly surprised by the longevity/sillage you get at that price point.

anyway...their scents are all so different, I would definitely recommend trying before you buy, and trying on skin. the way their perfumes are made means your mileage may vary depending on skin chemistry - even if you already like their signature soap/bath bomb scents that they also sell as perfumes (e.g. lust, karma), I personally wouldn't blind buy or base purchasing decisions off a tester strip.

This is the first of a series I'd like to call

Things I want that aren't currently in the budget

It's my way of acknowledging my wants and my urge to be a consumer while also honoring my budget, being honest about what I can afford, and trying to be more ethical* with my extra money.

I am not seeking influencer status here I'm just daydreaming about what I would/will spend my extra money on when I have a little more of it.

1. Penny Lane Coat: I had one of these when I was in the 6th grade, it was blue suede with matching alpaca trim, and it was my favorite piece of clothing. If I can locate a photo of it, I will share it. I have been daydreaming about having another since earlier this year, no doubt feeling the rumbling of it coming into fashion again. This one is from Amazon and sadly only goes up to a size 12 but was the closest visual match I could find to my old one.

Will I be buying it?: No, besides it not being available in my size, I can't tell if I want this because it's "in" style again or because it matches the personal style I am trying to build for myself. Also, if I were to purchase one, I would prefer to save and purchase one from a leather crafter, and that isn't something I foresee being in the budget this winter.

2. Peppermint Bark Candle: Despite yesterday being Halloween, I woke up and swore I could smell this candle. In my defense, there was snow on our #midwest ground, and this candle smells like whipped cream, vanilla glitter, and peppermint got together to make a candle. Last year was my second year getting it from Aldi, and I can NOT wait for it to, hopefully, come back again.

Will I be buying it?: YES. Aldi doesn't always stay consistent in the products they offer from year to year (like the pumpkin breakfast bread they broke my heart by discontinuing this year), but if they have it again, I will probably buy 2 or 3. They are only about 5 bucks, which is perfect for my budget, and instantly make our home feel holiday-ready.

3. Flannel Sheets: There is nothing. NOTHING. Like nice quality, new sheets to make you feel like a put-together functioning adult. Changing the type you use with the seasons? Psh, you might as well be royalty. I remember the flannel sheets I had as a kid and how they inexplicably got softer the longer I had them and felt like a warm hug. It was the epitome of cozy after a cold day. This set is from Granet Hill and is lovely, with all the whimsy and wonder I look for in seasonal items; however, they cost 139 on sale. For good sheets, it's not a bad price. For a post-pandemic millennial with two kids and a budget...well, you know.

Will I be buying it?: No, well, not this set. Target has a cute set that I admittedly didn't love, but I know they often offer cute kids sets, so I might keep my eye out for a sale. However, my mom has a second-hand business and an inside connection to estate sale cleanouts, so I might just ask her to have her eye out instead.

4. Snow Fairy Bath Bomb: When I need #selfcare, in the most commercial sense, a bath bomb from Lush is one of my favorite go-to's. It transports me away from our 1970s yellow fiberglass bathtub in our tight bathroom that usually smells like equal parts teen and mildew to a magical fairy spa where the scents of the nearby apothecary are dancing in the air. It’s that good, and if you’ve been unimpressed or worse by the bath bombs you get in those weird I-didn’t-know-what-to-get-you-so-I-got-you-this-spa-in-a-box kits, then I beg you try one from Lush anyway. They are STRONGLY scented, in the best way, leave your skin feeling like butta and put on a mesmerizing show in your bath water, and for less than 10 bucks it's a budget-friendly miracle. I’ve thought about getting this scent for several years but because I’m typically ordering offline and hesitant to buy something I won’t love, which has never happened from Lush so I need to get a grip, I opt for ol’ reliable. 

Will I be buying it?: Yes. Not today, but before the holiday season is done, I WILL be treating myself to one of these.

5. A Real Christmas Tree: This one is silly. It's November 1st, and if I got it now, I would be sick of the cats attacking it before December even got here. I am just soo eager to sink into the magic of the holiday season.

Will I be buying it?: Yes, not this week, or likely this month because My Babe's Daddio isn't into 2 months of Christmas the way I am, but when we do, we will probably be grabbing the same one we got last year from Home Depot; it was a little over $50 and lasted from the first weekend of December until the end of January with minimal needle mess!

Best Beauty Brand Shop Near by Ottawa

NARS is my ultimate favorite brand! I love their products because they are high quality with beautiful packaging that fits into any woman’s lifestyle. Their products are made from all natural ingredients which means they are not only good on your skin but also good for the environment. The store in Ottawa is located at 1702 St Laurent Blvd., which makes it easy to get to if you're downtown or live nearby. Their hours are Mondays through Fridays from 9am-6pm and Saturdays from 10am-5pm (closed Sundays).

The Body Shop

Our story started in Brighton, England in 1976. It began with our founder, Dame Anita Roddick, and her belief in something revolutionary: that business could be a force for good. Following her vision, we’ve been rule breaking, never faking and change making for over 40 years.

When The Body Shop first opened its doors in 1976, it was a little green-painted shop in the streets of Brighton, England. Its approach to beauty was radically different to the big players in the beauty industry. It was simple – ethically sourced and naturally-based ingredients from around the world, in no-nonsense packaging you could easily refill. Products and beauty rituals made for every body, that made women feel good in their skin – never promising to make them look like someone else.

MAC Cosmetics

SINCE 1984, M·A·C COSMETICS HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS THE ULTIMATE COLOUR AUTHORITY WITH ARTISTRY AT OUR ROOTS, INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY AT OUR CORE, AND A COMMITMENT TO CONSCIOUS BEAUTY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AT THE TOP OF OUR MINDS. WITH PRODUCTS SOLD IN OVER 120 COUNTRIES, IT’S NO WONDER WHY MAKE UP LOVERS ALWAYS RETURN BACK-TO-M·A·C . With high-performance products ranging from the all-inclusive Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 to the rich blue-red Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo, there’s a best-selling M·A·C Superstar tailored for every makeup lover.

Lush Cosmetics

Since 1995, Lush has been a trailblazer in the cosmetics industry. From inventing bath bombs and creating new, innovative products to fighting animal testing and ethical campaigning, it’s come a long way since its humble beginnings.

Before there was Lush, there was Constantine & Weir and Cosmetics To Go.

Mark Constantine and Liz Weir first met in the early ‘70s while working at a beauty salon in Poole, England. Mark was a trichologist and Liz was a beauty therapist. Both were interested in natural beauty products, so decided to create a business of their own.

Also, dropping by to tell you:

🍄 🌿 🧚‍♀️ ☕️ ⭐️ ☀️

Also, if you remember, I used to tell you that your energy feels like a mix between Aqua and Scorpio. Now, it is shifted to Libra + Neptune. Your energy seems magical these days. Like a healer. Anyways, here's a picture for you. Not mine

Hi Nari! It's so good to hear from you. Hope you're doing well!

Thank you so much for taking time to get to the ask games I posted and to send something, I really appreciate it! I will answer you more accurately in the following paragraph. I first want to thank you for updating me about my energy: it's true that I'm working on myself and on some things these days, and I am aware something is heavily changing but... getting this feedback from the outside has a totally different meaning and importance. Thank you loads for letting me know! Also, lovely pic. It feels so peaceful... I really resonate with it, despite on occasions I am still fighting with myself hehe, but I'll get out of there. There's stuff I need to do :)

Now, the answers. Aesthetic asks:

raindrops: what’s your favourite song to unwind? It depends, I may go to something pretty rock or generally hyping or old disco like 70s-80s-90s that maybe I can dance to or shout. To mention a song uhm... well "With this ring let me go" by Molella, Phil Jay, Fast Eddie and Heaven 17 has started so I'm mentioning it. :)

scented candles: do you enjoy reading? if so what’s your favourite book? I used to read a lot, but it's been a while since I have read a book and finished it. I guess it's either adhd or ocd or... maybe something else Idk. Anyway among the latest I really enjoyed, I loved The impossible lives of Greta Wells by A.S. Greer (it's also one of the few books' titles I can rememebr lol). I got this suggestion by a very nice girl and she was totally right about it.

fairy lights: do you sleep with the lights on or off? I generally rather stay in the dark, but I don't mind napping or even sleeping with natural light filtering from the windows (in any amount).

summer nights: summer or winter? or perhaps something else? Winter<3

winged eyeliner: do you wear makeup? I'm not good at putting it on so nope, I generally don't wear any make up (I'm also too lazy to put it on lol). Especially not in summer as my skin barely affords it.

bath bombs: what’s your favourite lush product? I had to check what that is lol. Idk, I haven't tried anything by lush.

fire crackles: describe your ideal winters evening Either home watching a movie under a blanket or... no, not or. I enjoy cozy winter nights the most lol but yeah if it's not too cold I can afford going somewhere cool with someone else.

spring flower: what’s your favourite flower/plant? I like tulips and roses (especially white), and I generally like red kalanchoes but I've never really succeeded at keeping them :')

warm tea: what’s your favourite tea? if you don’t like tea, what’s your favourite drink? I like earl grey and matcha teas the most.

cold morning: what time do you wake up? are you an early bird or a night owl? If I can, I wake up at around 9am. I'm a night owl and mornings are tough (I really struggle feeling awake on most days before lunch).

messy bun: if you could dye your hair any colour what would it be? I already dye my hair and it's usually a more or less dark chocolate color. I'd like to try something more reddish. One side of me would like to try blonde as well but I don't think it'd go well with my complexion (I am a very dark kind of blonde/ash naturally but I really don't like it).

As for the emojis, thank you so much too. I'd love to drink a tea with you as well one day. Maybe we will :) 💝~ btw.

Take care!

Hello darling, we'll do Stranger Things, Harry Potter, Disney and Marvel?

𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔: I'm about 5'5, pale skin, blue/grey eyes, blonde around my face and brown then black at the ends of my hair. I have many many piercings, and I'm covered in tattoos. I'm curvy/plus size and am body positive.

𝑯𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒊𝒆𝒔: Reading, writing, collecting rings, journaling, tarot. I'm also collecting as many books as I can because I want to have my own library where people can take whichever book they wish.

𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚: INFJ, Chaotic Good, Gryffindor, Aquarius Sun, Capricorn Moon, Aries Rising, Pisces Venus (this last one might help with the match especially). I'm a passionate person and have strong opinions. I will always stand up for what I believe in, no matter how scared I feel. I think I'm quite witty and intelligent, although I do get overwhelmed quite easily. I'm incredibly open-minded and progressive. I love to laugh and make others laugh too. I'm sensitive, and intuitive and can pick up on other people very easily. I have strong gut-feelings and kinda ... understand a person's vibe? Like I can sense someone's aura but not see their colour.

𝑨𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄: I love cottagecore, I'm very witchy but also a little grunge and gothic at the same time.

𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒔: Learning - especially witchcraft, watching tv, day-dreaming, listening and discovering new music, I love being at home, writing and then taking a reading break. I adore baths and constantly buy items from Lush.

𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆𝒔: (other than the usual injustices of sexism, racism, and homophobia), I strongly dislike spiders and will scream whenever I see one. I don't like close-minded people, or those who make fun of others. I hate passive-aggressiveness, large crowds and loud sudden noises.

𝑳𝒊𝒍 𝒇𝒖𝒏 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒎𝒆:

・Have shaved my head. Asked my stepdad for his clippers and went into the bathroom and ...hacked at my hair. It was very liberating, I think every woman should do it at least once in her lifetime

・I adore animals - I have a cat and dog! I want more but my cat is too much of a princess and won't allow any other animal in the house

・Bought a tattoo gun from the internet and I tattoo myself. I do the majority of my own piercings as well. I like to learn how to do things like that. I've kinda learned how to do hair and do mine, my mum's and my nunna's.

Your match for Stranger Things is... Eddie Munson!

Before you entered his life, he was saving money to get more and bigger tattooes, but when you bought the tattoo machine from the internet, he asked you to do that for him.

He helps you refreshing your head shaving whenever it's necessary.

Always lets you wear his rings because he thinks they look better to your fingers and gave you some of them as a gift.

He asked for a piercing from you, but ended up being scared and ran away in Wayne's arms before you could pierce the spot and then you would tease him because he's afraid of a needle, but he's not afraid of spiders which you think are worst, in fact, he kills them for you.

Your match for Harry Potter is... Luna Lovegood!

I love to believe she made the sketches of some of the tattooes she'd love to see on you, but hasn't shown you yet.

If she ever spots a spider, she will gently take it out of the house for you without hurting it though you beg her to kill it.

Both your cat and your dog love her! Your cat purrs at her and your dog barks of joy whenever he sees her; she loves being around animals herself, so she got along with your pets pretty quickly.

She wanted to shave her head, too, but you love her hair so you told her it wasn't necessary, so you asked her to help shaving your head and then you took a bath together with some bath bombs for Lush she bought for you.

Your match for Disney is... Carlos De Vil!

If you know his mother, you know he was scared of dogs when he first came to Auradon, but when he healed his fear, he got along with your dog quickly.

He loves when you make him laugh, whatever you do it with a story, a joke or anything else, his smile and laugh is spontaneous every time.

He hopes you never meet his mother because she's a very closed minded person, but what she doesn't know can't hurt her, so your relationship is safe under lock and key at Auradon.

Whenever he sees a spider, he jumps into your arms, even more scared than you are and you ran to Mal, Jay and Evie.

Your match for Marvel is... Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow!

Your witchcraft and her powers kinda mix every well, but not in Mr. Stark's opinion, so no magic in the Avengers tower, but whenever you're outside or at your place, he allowed you both to practise.

She will make anything to defend your strong opinions because she agrees with almost all of them.

Feminist battles are your battles! You think every woman should have the same rights everyone else has and you fight for that every day.

She's kinda of an overprotective person, so she won't let you go on missions with her because she's afraid to lose you somehow; she leaves you to the tower with Peter and Happy, so you're not alone.
