#Bar Station Juice Charging

[aloneandforsakenbyfateandbyman]

Old Hollywood actress Frances Farmer being carried away by police after having a psychotic episode in a courtroom and then showing attitude in the police station in 1943 is still such a Mood. I think all of us hysterical anti-authoritarian girlies can relate.

Frances was just a woman ahead of her time. It was the 40s and she was a Communist with a Bachelor of Arts in Drama. That’s literally just every millennial girl nowadays. No wonder Paramount called Frances "the star who would not go Hollywood," and emphasized her "eccentric" fashion tastes.

Director William Wyler famously said, "The nicest thing I can say about Frances Farmer is that she is unbearable." She was charged with drunk driving in Santa Monica, then when her agent shipped her off to Mexico City to film a movie, she was arrested there for drunken disorderliness.

1943 was an especially bad year, as she was accused of assaulting a studio hairdresser, not paying off her legal fines, and running down Sunset Boulevard topless after getting into a brawl at a bar. Police went to her hotel and dragged Frances out naked after she refused to comply.

When asked about her drinking habits, Frances told the judge: "I put liquor in my milk ... in my coffee and in my orange juice,” and admitted to drinking Benzedrine. The judge sentenced her to 180 days in jail, and she responded with knocking down a policeman and bruising another, along with a matron.

Frances sprinted to a phone booth to call her attorney, but was subdued by the police. When they carried her away, she shouted: "Have you ever had a broken heart?"

Frances was then taken to LA General Hospital and diagnosed with "manic depressive psychosis, probably the forerunner of a definite dementia praecox."

Hurricane/Typhoon Prep

Platonic 141 x gn!reader

SFW | Word Count: About 500 |Headcannons/ Drabble

A/N: Its the Afternoon before the Typhoon (hurricane). There is currently a typhoon where i live in Japan. We rushed to get off work. Fingers crossed the power doesnt go off. This post is just for fun lol. Lemme know if I use too much military lingo. I’ll translate!

-Let's say everyone lived in the barracks. Even though Price, as Captain, would get base housing and Ghost would be in the officer barracks...anyways, you and the boys heard about the hurricane from Price. Apparently, this is going to be the worst storm the island has seen in a few years. They say that about every typhoon though.

-Ghost immediately went to the commissary (on-base grocery store), but he didn't get any good snacks. He just got stuff to meal prep in case the power went off. His idea of snacks is high protein snacks. The man loves to bulk up and maintain that muscle. Lots of protein bars... will 100% mention how he has to make up tonight at the gym.

-You and Gaz got stuck at work. "The typhoon doesn't dismiss you, I do." It's already starting to rain, and the wind is picking up. So much for staying dry. Gaz completely forgot to charge his portable batteries, even though you had a few days' warning before the storm. You’re pretty sure you have an extra!

-Price took his work home. He has a few mission reports to type up that can't wait. The commanding officer is waiting for them to review. #Officerthings So he took his laptop back to work until the power goes off. If it goes off.

-Soap managed to get off work before you and Gaz. He went straight to the gas station exchange (names of the stores on base) to stock up on snacks. There wasn't much left, but he grabbed everything that looked good. Some chips, ramen,and the last case of beer left!! Better than eating the MREs they hand out for typhoons. You’ll be constipated for days if you eat those…

-Finally, you and Gaz were let out of work and sped back to the barracks. You both took it upon yourselves to park really close to both sides of Soaps car. Don’t want the storm to blow it away! Changing into civilian attire, you both met in the hallway. Ghost and Soap were already together, hanging out in the room. They were quick to open the door as soon as they heard the knock.

-Soap definitely has the hangout room, along with Gaz. Gaz's room is more for drinking and playing cards all night, while Soap's is geared towards movie nights or typhoon campouts. The snacks lay displayed on his desk, and the fridge is full of beer and drinks. Not allowed to drink during a typhoon though. So soda and juice it is. Maybe one beer

-Price is the last to show up. He's been in the barracks for a while, but he wanted to finish that paper. All of you pick a spot on the couch or sit on Soap's bed to watch the movie. The wind howls outside, and the wind slaps the window. We'll definitely have tomorrow off.

-

This thing is literally edging us i want it to hit already so I can go outside!!!!!! Hopefully my motorcycle doesnt blow away or tip over….

Update: my motorcycle fell really hard and now im hiding it in my barracks room. Fml

Cookie Run Kingdom- Cheesyitis (Based on Frozen Fever)

Golden Cheese, Princess, Cavatappi, and the others plan a special birthday celebration for Mimolette months after her return, but when Goldie catches a cold, her Ancient Cookie powers put more than just the party at risk.

The Cheese Triplets, Casu Marzu, and some other characters belong to me.

Princess Professor Mimolette, Prince Professor Cavatappi, Lil Mac, and a few others belong to @thetropicalfairy

It had been a few months after Princess Professor Mimolette Cookie had returned after an epic journey to find her and her parents. But today, Golden Cheese was extra busy- for it was her daughter’s surprise birthday party. She wanted her to have something to remember, especially with her whole family and all of her friends and allies around. “Come on, Goldie. This is for Mimi! You can do this!” She nervously said as she placed the crystal butterfly cake topper on the cake, which was decorated with sugar crystals and fake sugar butterflies. “Relax, Mom in Law! It looks great!” Prince Professor Cavatappi, her son in law, said. “I just want her to have something to remember.” The golden sovereign replied as she walked over, while Pure Vanilla Cookie arranged flowers from Mimi’s garden, Hollyberry Cookie and her family supplied berry juice by the bottle, and Dark Cacao Cookie plus his son Dark Choco Cookie and wife ChocoPearl Cookie cut up paper chains. Sparkling supplied his signature juice; Cocoa helped make the hot cocoa bar, Herb helped with the table settings, Mint Choco and DJ chose some party tunes, and Vampire plus his sister Alchemist handled the piñata.

“Speaking of which, check this out!” Cavatappi answered, revealing a banner he and his nieces + nephews made that said “HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMI” in bright letters. “Everyone, are you sure I can leave you in charge here?” Golden Cheese replied. “Of course you can!” Madeleine said as he got the party games set up while Espresso got a brewing station ready. “Because I don’t want anything to go wrong today.” Goldie replied as she flew over. The cheesebird triplets giggled as they ate some of the miniature cupcakes, which looked like Cheesebeetles. “Kids, those are for the party!” Sosha, their mother replied as she flew over with their father, Danby. “Yes, Mama and Papa.” The trio, made up of Fontina, Colby, and Brie said as they flew towards their parents. Prince Mac N Cheese Cookie, their neighbor and Goldie’s grandson, flew over as well. Then, Golden Cheese knew that the party was about to start for real. “Two things- One, Make sure to not let anyone in until we’re ready; and two, Keep an eye on everything, got it?” She said as she flew away quickly. “Got it!” Princess Cookie shouted as she, her sister Tiger Lily, Tea Knight and Eclair hung up balloons and streamers; while Cheesecake, Birthday Cake, Piñata, and Firecracker handled the rest of the decor. “What could possibly go wrong today?” Parmesan, Golden Cheese’s husband, said with a smile as he tied a few more ribbons. Burnt Cheese, Mozzarella, and Smoked Cheese also helped decorate too.

Inside her daughter’s house, Golden Cheese smiled as she approached her sleeping daughter. “Wake up, sweetie. It’s your birthday!” Mimolette sat up and gasped. “I-It’s my birthday?!” She said as she leapt to her feet. “Yes! I know how much you missed when you, your friends, and your father and I celebrated your birthday, so we’re going to make this one your best one yet!” Golden Cheese said, only for her to sneeze and two Cheesebirds to appear out of nowhere. Neither mother or daughter noticed. “But first, let’s get dressed!” Goldie said as both of them got dressed in party dresses with butterflies and jewels, respectively, while having their tiaras on as well. “Now… for the presents!” She squealed.

Laughing, mother and daughter followed a long string that the Ancients had wound through the kingdom, leading Mimi to various different gifts. Inside one of Tea Knight’s suits, was a silver butterfly bracelet. Inside one of Eclair’s cabinets, lay a Parfaedia snowglobe. And on the balcony of Hollyberry’s vacation home, there was a bouquet of desert flowers. Mimolette was so happy! But Goldie sneezed AGAIN. More Cheesebirds popped out of nowhere and flew to the ground. Both still didn’t even notice! The Cheesebirds flew into the party venue, where Lil Mac was thrilled to see them. “Hi, little guys!!” He squealed. “Uh oh…!” Cavatappi’s siblings said in unison as they placed the food on the buffet table. The Brave Gang immediately took action as well, stopping all the decorating and immediately chasing after the little birds.

Mimi and Goldie followed the string all across The Cookie Kingdom. Along the way, Mimi discovered more presents: A family portrait, a Cheesebird Doll, and even a fishing Rod! But Golden Cheese was sneezing way more often. And each time she sneezed, more Cheesebirds appeared. The pair didn’t see any of them. Finally, Mimolette broke the ice. “This day’s been amazin’. But I think ya need to get back home and rest.” “Wait! There’s more, sweetie!” Golden Cheese persuaded. She then led her daughter to The Squirrel Shop, where she presented her daughter with a gorgeous butterfly wing style cloak. The Maestro Sugar Gnome stepped out of the door and noticed Golden Cheese sneezing. “How about some medicine for you?” He asked. Mimi took the bottle without hesitation. “We may or may not need that.” Later, Goldie took Mimi to the Kingdom Plaza, where Lil Mac’s friends had another surprise for her. “Happy birthday, Princess Professor!” Gumball Cookie said as he unveiled a mural he had made himself. Goldie turned to her daughter. “They absolutely love you, Mimi- AHH, AHHH, AAAAACCCHHOOOOO!!”

More Cheesebirds appeared out of nowhere and flew into the venue. The Triple Cone Trio, Cavatappi, and the others tried to get things under control; but the little birds where all over the place! Cream Puff Cookie noticed the birds flying towards the cake. She conjured up a spell to keep them away. “Protecticus… Cakeicus!” She shouted as she shielded the cake while Walnut Cookie tore up some bread and got the birds away. Suddenly, the flock of Cheesebirds perched on the banner and wrecked it, sending pages everywhere! Prune Juice Cookie grinned. “We’ll get it!” He shouted. Cavatappi caught each of the Cheesebirds in the bowl just as the Triple Cone Trio finished repairing the banner. Capsaicin Cookie smiled. “All done!” He shouted. Kouign Amann Cookie grinned in return. “Whaddya think?” She asked. Cavatappi was horrified as he saw The Triple Cone Trio hanging from the banner. “PHAPY RHABDIOM TIMIY?!” Almond and Latte couldn’t help but laugh.

At the same time, Golden Cheese had led Mimolette to the last stop. There Was just a single gift left hidden in the Cookie Castle. But Mimi’s arms were filled to the brim with presents, and Goldie’s cold was getting worse. Mimolette persuaded her mom, “Please, Mom. Ya need to get some rest!” Golden Cheese wasn’t listening, though. She was feeling a bit… feverish as she flew up the stairs to the top of the castle. “It’s your happy birthday, my darling,” she sang. “Happy, jolly, hot, hot, birthday…” But just before Golden Cheese lost her balance, Mimi dropped the gifts and flew down to catch her. “Mom, ya practically have a fever! We need to get ya to bed.” “I really am that sick.” Golden Cheese admitted. She sighed as her daughter helped her through the venue gates. “I’m so sorry, Mimi. I ruined your perfect birthday.” But Mimolette just smiled. “Ya didn’t screw up anythin’, mom. Everythin’ was truly—!”

“SURPRISE!!!” Mother and daughter stopped short. Everyone Mimi had helped, was friends with, all of her students, and her whole extended family were all there in the venue- surrounded by who knows how many little Cheesebirds! “Wow!” Mimi said, ecstatically. “Wow.” Golden Cheese replied, shocked. Everyone ran up to Mimolette and hugged her, wishing the Princess Professor a happy birthday- especially Royalberry, Jungleberry, and Dark Choco, her three bestest friends of all. Princess and Tiger Lily, caught up in the excitement, ran up to her and tackle-hugged her. “Happy birthday! We love you, Mimi!” Then the guests stopped, stunned by what Princess had said.

Mimi had grinned at her biggest fan; then she turned to her mom. “Ok; mom. Time to go to bed.” But Goldie was persistent. “Wait! All that’s left is for the queen to blow the Birthday Bukkehorn!” She shouted. Mimolette knew what was going to happen next. “Nonononononono!” She replied. “ACHOO!” The Queen sneezed out Puffington, a massive Cheesebird, who was sent flying to Beast Yeast. Meanwhile, Casu Marzu Cookie, the Queen’s traitorous former advisor, was muttering her next plan… only to get crushed by Puffington himself. The other Cookies of Darkness burst out laughing, while Casu growled and flipped off the royals for not inviting her to the party.

But Mimi was still smiling when she tucked her mom into bed not long afterwards, giving her some nice hot soup she had made herself. “Thanks, Mom. That was the greatest birthday present ever.” She said. Golden Cheese looked at her daughter. “Which one?” “Me finally havin’ a genuine birthday party with everyone I know and love… and you finally letting me take care of ya.” At those words, Goldie embraced her daughter without hesitation. “I love you too, sweetie. Happy birthday.” She said as Sosha and Danby, dressed as a doctor and nurse; landed near her as she sneezed again, summoning their neighbors from their homeland. But not long after the party, Lil Mac was riding his tricycle with the triplets in the basket, leading a parade of Cheesebirds through the kingdom. Cavatappi sighed as he laid on the shoulders of his parents, Fusilli and Ravioli. “Don’t ask.” He said to them with an exhausted sigh. It had been a long day indeed.

The End

Low battery in an electric vehicle is somhow about 10000x more stressful than low gas in a normal car. The guage turns orange, the numbers are just replaced with "MIN", and then after a while the orange bar starts FLASHING and the car BING-BONGS at you like you've forgotten your keys and the charging station is just two more miles and it will be FINE it's FINE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF JUICE DON'T PANIC

What everyone is handing out on Trick or Treat

Did I think way too into this? Yes.

Tabitha

I so badly want her to be the one handing out full sized or king sized candy bars just bc she can afford it. In reality she's handing out the nasty candy noone likes, or coughdrops because she didn't expect any kid to walk all the way to the estate to ask for candy.

Oscar

Would hand out those mini books, coloring pages, or stickers. Also passes out whatever candy Rosalina picked out. He doesn't care much about the handing out candy part, he likes seeing everyone's costumes though and seeing the town happy.

Duke

A random mix of candy, probably hard candy or something that's nostalgic for him. He's not a big fan of Halloween, just gets candy his family likes so they can snack on the leftovers. Might also have soda or juice boxes. Also the guy who asks the parents if they want a beer or cup of coffee.

Stella

Much more excited about the spooky factor of Halloween, her house is the best decorated and may scare some kids away on accident. She hands out the spider rings and glow in the dark fangs.

Sybil

Gives out fruit. Caramel apples on a good year. Believes candy is harmful and kids don't need it. She'd rather hand out teabags but everyone told her that was weird so she stopped. Also maybe crystals.

Kaneeka

Since she lives with Sybil but she thinks it's not right to hand out anything but candy for trick or treat. Since Sybil won't be persuaded, Kaneeka will make caramel apples to make it not so bad for the kids. If she's ever in charge of trick or treating, though? 100% she's taking full sized candy bars from the store and giving those out.

Winnie

The diner has a free hot coco station, with peppermint, marshmallows, whipped cream, and sprinkles for kids to choose from. (It'd be my favorite place on Halloween.)

Avery

Simple but still good: mini chocolate bars and pumkin reese's. It's their contribution to the diner if they aren't throwing a party that night. Trick or treat might be an after thought to them, but they still don't want to disappoint the kids.

Doc Kelly

Suckers or lolipops, easy. Though they might be some kind of sugar free, every allergy free, healthy kind of sucker so she doesn't have to worry about a kid getting sick from them. "Could Reese eat it?" Might be a requirement. I'd also like to add that she'd probably love trick or treat because Stella and Kaneeka said she's great with kids. She'd probably love seeing everyone's costume.

(Bonus) Reese

He'd want to decorate if he had the energy. Also idk if this a universal thing or not but there was always that one person in town who'd dress up like a scarecrow or something and go limp, so when you walked past them they'd jump up and scare you? Reese would want to do that. His mom would probably scold him for it.

(Extra bonus)

Becka, Zane, and Miles definitely TP every house that doesn't have good candy. Miles WILL tp his own house and no he will not get in trouble even if he is caught.

Reese, Stella, and Bo (and maybe Avery) would definitely still try to go trick or treat. Oscar and Winnie are cool with it, Sybil doesn't understand it but gives them teabags because she knows they won't refuse. Duke just really doesn't care- might not even notice cause he might just put the bowl on the porch with a sign reading "take one or get shot" (it's hella effective until Stella calls his bluff). Doc Kelly tells them they're too old for this- but she probably tells Becka and Alexis the same thing. Tabitha slams the door in their faces.

Gay trip in Caucasus countries

Georgia & Armenia, the Caucasus gay trip

Tbilisi, Georgia

For some personal reasons, I flied to Tbilisi from Shanghai on Mar. 10.

When I arrived at the immigration center of Georgia, the staff checked my passport more than 15 minutes than other passengers. I assumed that my photo on the new passport looks like an international the wanted offender.

I was allowed to enter Georgia after 20 minutes' passport check.

The airport pickup driver I booked online seemed impatient and didn't help me to unload my luggage when we arrived at my hotel.

The next evening I went to a chic restaurant called HOLY which is located in a chic area near their city center metro station Rustaveli.

Many local young chic people like hanging out here. If you'd like to see beautiful young local here is a good place to go.

I ordered a salad and main dish, with a bottled juice cost me 72 lari.

After the dinner, I went to 2 gay bars searched from Google. One is SUCCESS bar which is too small for me, I stayed there for 3 minutes and left. The other is called Cafe Gallery, they charged me 20 lari for ticket and it's around 1 am, only few guys came and I left at 1:30 pm.

So the first Saturday night in Tbilisi was boring except that I saw a guard guy in the next-door bar who is cute as hell.

Before I came to Tbilisi, I met a guy Ivan online who owns a real estate website in Georgia. We talked a lot through WhatsApp and I promised to treat him a dinner when I came to Georgia for his kindness of telling me so much useful info about Georgia.

The next day we met at a nice old-fashioned restaurant called Margalita which Ivan reserved. Ivan was born in Ukraine with a Portugal nationality. During the lunch, I found Ivan is a very nice guy with a warm heart. He tried to pay the bill but I insisted and he tipped the waiter when we left.

After lunch, Ivan suggested he'd show me around some nice places of Tbilisi. We went to the Stamba hotel bookstore, vake park, turtle lake on a mountain.

When we finished the day-trip, Ivan booked a taxi for me to my hotel.

I saw a basketball court near my hotel, so when I finished dinner I went to the court to play basketball with the local boys.

The boys on the court were so friendly and passionate to me. Everyone shook hands with me even they didn't speak English much.

There is a boy aged 20-30s who plays basketball so well with beautiful movements and is my dream type. He was so kind to pass the balls to me but I didn't play well that evening. The next day I brought him a bottle of water.

Ivan invited me to a local band live concert at cafe 1890 in the second Friday evening since my arrival.

During the concert I suggested we should go to a popular gay bar that I heard from a guy on Grindr. Ivan, his wife Olga and his employee Vlad and I went to the gay bar UNHOLY which was called BAR34 before.

We were a bit early and there were few guys in the bar. Best time is from 12am-3am at weekend nights.

When we were seated in a sofa, a white boy sat next to me. His name is Andrew and he's from Noway and in his master course in Greece.

We did have a great time there especially that Olga enjoyed dancing with me at the dance floor.

The next morning Andrew sent an e-mail to me saying "Did you suck my cock at the darkroom?".

What the fuck? I even didn't notice there was a darkroom for sex in the bar.

Andrew told me in another e-mail saying, you can suck 10 cocks in 30 minutes in the darkroom. Last night he sucked one cock and other 3 cocks nearby cum to his mouth, meanwhile he cum to a guy's mouth and face.

Maybe Andrew was there only for fun, not like me. I came to the bar to look for a boyfriend.

Apr. 4th, the weather was perfect, I felt so good in the morning and just wanna go out to chill.

My plan was to visit the gay friendly sulfur bathhouse called QUEEN bath. When I arrived at the bath address I found a cozy restaurant nearby. I decided to have a lunch and then I could stay in the bath for a whole afternoon.

I received a message from Grindr when I finished my lunch. The guy named George (80% Georgian boys called George) sent me both his face and nude pictures which I liked a lot. I invited him to join me to go the QUEEN bath together and he said he'll come in 30 mins.

George showed up after 30 mins and we came to the bathhouse together. I bought 2 tickets for us, the facility of the bathhouse is simple and crude but the sulfur spring is the same as the luxury baths nearby.

After the shower and 10 mins bath in the sulfur pool we went into the sauna together.

George has a hairy body and a beautiful cock.

I touched his cock and unwrapped his foreskin, his pink and beautiful glans showed up. My hands was shaking and my cock was hard as rock with the prostatic fluid coming out from my penis.

Yerevan, Armenia

Apr. 17 was a big day in my caucasus trip. A guy named Jack tapped me on Grindr and I tapped back. After a while he sent his nudes and it made me horny. I spent 2 hours walking and enjoying the street singers' performances on the North Avenue which is the most popular street in Yerevan. I tipped 15 dollars to each singer which are my favorites.

When I was back to my hotel I felt so horny because I hadn't wanked more than 3 weeks. I sent a message to Jack asking him if he'd like to be fucked. He said yes because his roommate wasn't home.

I took a taxi and arrived at his apartment within 15 minutes.

Jack opened the door and his cat Furla came to the door to welcome me. Jack is cute with a fit hairy body and seemed very sweet.

I was seated in the sofa and Furla jumped onto my legs. My cock had been hard since I came into Jack's apartment.

Before I tried to touch Jack's hairy arms, Jack kissed me while Furla was playing with us.

Jack led me to his bedroom and the light was soft. The atmosphere was sexy and romantic.

Jack took my tops off and I took off my pants, letting my hard penis out.

Jack kneeled down on his knees and began to suck my cock. His sucking was so comfortable and soft which I enjoyed very much. I touched his hair and his shoulders during his sucking.

Then we went to the bed, we cuddled and kissed each other. I was sucking his big cock and touching his beautiful hairy body and rimming his ass. He turned his pose from lying to a doggy style so that I could rim his ass more comfortably.

He passed me a condom and I wore it. Jack sat his ass on my hard cock and twisted his body on mine. It was amazing.

With Jack's body up and down on my cock, he cum onto my belly and moved his ass from my cock.

Then he lay in my arms, rimming my nipples, I masturbated to cum.

Bridal Shower Theme Ideas to Inspire Your Perfect Celebration

If you're in charge of planning and hosting a bridal shower, chances are you've been giving possible themes a great deal of thought. This is a party the bride-to-be will remember for the rest of her life, so it makes sense that you want it to be both unforgettable and special. So, how do you throw a bridal shower to remember? Ultimately, your goal should be to plan a party that's reflective of the guest of honor while also pleasing a multi-generational crowd.

Doing so ultimately begins with choosing the right theme. While there's no rule that says you need a theme, having one helps inspire your color palette, décor, games, food, and more. So, if you need inspiration, let these perfect bridal shower theme ideas get your wheels turning.

Champagne Brunch

Your guests will be lining up to say "I do" to a waffle bar and sparkling mimosa station. Serve up beautiful bowls of fruit, fresh pastries, and plenty of chilled champagne.

Nautical Affair

Whether the bride and her shipmates are staying dry on land or heading out on a yacht, you can pull off a nautical bridal shower theme with navy blue hues, stripes, anchors, ship wheels, and sailor's hats. Make sure to add Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea" to the playlist.

Beach Bonanza

Like a nautical bridal shower, a beach bridal shower has coastal vibes—but this one is all about sand and sunshine. Create a color palette with aquamarine hues and incorporate seashells and starfish.

Black-Tie Glitter and Glitz

For the bride who loves dressing to the nines, invite guests to get dolled up in their fanciest outfits. Decorate with anything sparkly and glittery, and score definite bonus points if there's a chandelier involved.

Backyard Bliss

Paradise awaits in your own backyard. Transform an outdoor space into a cheerful and relaxed setting for a casual bridal shower. Incorporate fun floral arrangements, twinkle lights, and traditional picnic food. Plus—this is the perfect excuse to give your backyard a makeover.

Tea Party

For the girl who loves all things floral, delicious, and dainty, you should definitely consider a bridal tea party. You can keep it classically British or switch it up with a Mad Hatter theme. Either way, serve a refreshing assortment of artisanal tea, scrumptious scones, and tasty cucumber sandwiches.

Paris Romance

Celebrate love with a shower that pays homage to the city of light and love. Incorporate the Eiffel Tower into the decorations and serve up French wines, cheeses, and desserts. The final touch? Press play on an Édith Piaf recording.

All-White Bridal Shower

The day is fast approaching where the bride is going to wear all white. Get in the spirit with an all-white shower.

Gatsby Bridal Shower

Throw a bridal fête fit for Daisy Buchanan with flapper dresses and feathered headbands. Serve up classic Prohibition cocktails like sidecars (made of cognac, triple sec, and lemon juice) and Gin Rickeys (a combo of gin, lime juice, and seltzer).

Glam Pajama Party

Remember how much fun slumber parties were as a little girl? It'll be an awesome girls' night in, complete with pizza, drinks, candy, games, and a movie (we're thinking Bridesmaids). You can host this at your own home or up the ante and reserve a suite at a hotel for the ultimate chill out session, with the option of spa access to boot (and you won't be the one cleaning up popcorn the next day).

Shabby-Chic

Channel romantically rustic vibes with delicately distressed décor, tea served in mason jars, hand-drawn signage, and baby's breath centerpieces. Add some homemade treats (pie would be oh-so perfect) for a personal touch. You can include the bridesmaids or the whole guest list by inviting everyone to bring their favorite desserts à la a potluck dessert table.

Love Is Sweet

Love is sweet and the bridal shower will be, too. A candy-centered bridal shower lends itself to bright, colorful decorations. Bring on the dessert bar filled with candy and treats. Remember to have some sugar-free candy for any guests with food sensitivities. You can also get customized M&M's in the bride's wedding colors, with her name, or "I Do," or whatever you choose—even an image of the bride (or her spouse-to-be).

Country Chic

For a country-lovin' bride, ask guests to don their cutest cowgirl attire and decorate your space with hay bales, horses, and horseshoes.

Coed Jack and Jill Shower

Who says a bridal shower has to be ladies only? Some couples want to do every wedding activity together, right down to the bridal shower, and there's nothing wrong with that. Make it a coed affair with a Jack and Jill shower. The more the merrier, right?

[beautiful-basque-country]

This post has exploded and it's quite hard to follow all the tags and comments, but two quick notes:

the 15 nuns aren't all Basque (I don't know where they're from actually), neither De Rojas nor the bartending fake priest. The convents of Derio and Orduña happen to be located in the Basque Country but most of these people aren't Basque. They could've been, no problem with that, but just stating the facts.

there are some doubts about this story being possibly fake or not fact-checked, and I completely understand why, but guys you're giving my imagination too much credit. If I could create this story from scratch I swear I wouldn't be on Tumblr but counting the billions my successful writing career had granted me.

That said.

NEW JUICE.

Because who watched last night's special report on this and is ready to feed your hunger? 🙋‍♀️

remember how villain mastermind Pablo de Rojas' grandpa was a civil governor during the Franco dictatorship and that's why he's a francoist?? Yeah? Well, he wasn't. Grandpa owned a jewelry shop. All those aristocratic surnames he has? He doesn't, all fake. He even faked a photo with Franco's daughter to say that she supported his cult. She didn't.

Oh, and that lavish staircase he vogued on his Bilbo appartment? It's the London Ritz Hotel. Yeah, his luxury 800sqm flat is a private museum that belongs to an antique collector that rents it for movies or spots. Pablo de Rojas rented it for his first interview and said it was his house.

The bartending fake priest? He has debts with the IRS and a partner he would run a night bar with. He's not a priest, and the document stating that he is has been proven a forgery that uses the name of an actual public notary that had no idea the paper existed.

The cult Pía Unión de San Pablo - not Andrés as I wrote - is just them two. There are no properties or any other leader. Just our two guys.

And now our sweet nuns! Their only problem was not being good at business. They make truffles - and would sell them to luxury restaurants - at 58€/kg. They also run a puppy mill, 800€ a pup. They had an illegal rural hotel inside the Derio monastery lands - +500€/night - that the town council shut down. They then opened a hostelry to rent, and they rented it to people that would go party there during Covid lockdown; they also had to shut it down when this became public. All these businesses didn't give enough profit.

But they had a plan: they would sell the rural hotel in Derio for 4M and buy the Orduña monastery for 1.2M. This monastery is rated at +4M and belongs to other nuns, but if you sell below 1.5M you don't need Rome's permission for the operation *wink, wink*.

Problem is that when it came the time to pay, the rural hotel was still on sale. So they put a mortgage on it and got 700,000€ for the first buying payment which - we already know - they never made. Where's that money? Welp...... who knows 💁‍♀️

The abbess - who has been in charge for 12 years and had to leave her post last May btw - had another plan. She contacted her distant relative Pablo de Rojas because he's so wealthy (he's not) and he was more than happy to help. If all went well, he could get two monasteries to his name (+10M total in real estate). So this show began.

Nope, they didn't hand the keys.

Instead, they went to a police station at night to accuse the archbishop of abuse and harassment.

Pablo de Rojas has said that the nuns will have to be rebaptised, and regiven their communion and confirmation because since all Church members are illegitimate the nuns aren't actually nuns?

The archbishop has now ordered the nuns to go to a church court to hear them one by one on June 24th, to decide if excommunication can be applied (there can't be a group excommunication, that's why the hearing will take place), but the nuns have already said they won't show up.

The Church wants to be patient and will wait to this trial before starting the eviction process: if they're excommunicated, then yes, they'll be evicted.

You can follow the nuns @ tehagoluz on insta

I'll keep you all updated.

Wait, some nuns of the order of St. Claire in Orduña have been asking the bishop for a licence to sell their pastries at the Derio monastery for 10 years, to no avail.

And they're so fed up they have officially rejected the Pope, archbishops, and bishops, and are now creating a schism inside their order because they're gonna sell those fucking pastries whether they like it or not.

WTF is this fantasy!!!!!

Tips for Prolonging the Battery Life of Your DualSense Controllers with the Charging Station

Are you tired of your DualSense Controllers running out of battery during gameplay? We feel you, bro. The frustration of having to constantly pause your gaming sessions for charging your controllers can be the deal-breaker of your gaming experience.

Luckily, there's a solution to your problem - the DualSense Charging Station. This peripheral not only provides a handy way to store your controllers but also charges them up while they rest. By following these simple tips, you can significantly increase the battery life of your DualSense Controllers when using the Charging Station.

What is the DualSense Charging Station?

The DualSense Charging Station is an officially licensed accessory developed by Sony that allows you to charge up to two DualSense Controllers simultaneously. Once you connect the Charging Station to a power source, you can place your controllers on the dock to initiate charging. The Charging Station features a compact design and is compatible with any standard PlayStation 5 console.

Tips and Tricks to Prolong Battery Life

1. Always Keep the Charging Station Plugged in

As the Charging Station requires a constant power connection, it is advised to keep it plugged in whenever you're not using it. This will ensure that your controllers are charged whenever you're ready to game. And the best part is, the Charging Station is energy efficient, so it won't run up your electricity bill.

2. Avoid Battery Drain by Turning off the Controllers When Not in Use

When you're done gaming, you might be tempted to just leave your controllers idle. But this is a bad practice that can lead to battery drain. Instead, turn off your controllers by holding down the PlayStation button until the light bar turns off. This will help preserve the battery life, and you'll be able to jump back into your game without having to worry about charging.

3. Use the Charging Station after Each Gaming Session

How often do you put your controllers down after gaming, only to realize they're out of battery the next time you pick them up? By using the Charging Station after each gaming session, you can keep your controllers fully charged all the time. This way, you won't have to worry about your controllers running out of juice unexpectedly.

4. Invest in a Quality Charging Station

Not all Charging Stations are created equal, bro. You'll want to invest in a quality one that ensures fast and reliable charging. The official DualSense Charging Station is a great option as it has been specifically designed for DualSense Controllers and is made by the same company that built your PlayStation 5 console!

Key Takeaways

The DualSense Charging Station is an accessory that allows you to charge up to two DualSense Controllers simultaneously.

Keeping the Charging Station connected to a power source ensures your controllers are always charged when you're ready to game.

Turning off the controllers after each use and using the Charging Station after each gaming session can help prolong battery life.

Investing in an official DualSense Charging Station ensures fast and reliable charging.

Now that you know how to take care of your DualSense Controllers and Charging Station, you can focus on gaming without interruptions. Keep your controllers charged and ready to go for extended gameplay sessions. Happy gaming, bro!

The FBI highlights the safest move is to use your own charger and a wall outlet instead of a public charging bar (that includes its own cables).

Another handy option is to keep a portable battery or battery case with you so you don’t have to worry about plugging into outlets while avoiding public chargers.

FALLOUT - Chapter 7

Chapters Posted: 7 of 18

Rating: T+

Warnings: Canon-typical violence & fighting/blood/gore/graphic descriptions of injury & death (no major character death)/angst/hurt/comfort

Characters/Pairings: Poe Dameron/Finn, Karé Kun, Iolo Arana, BB-8, OCs.

Summary: Still reeling in the aftermath of Crait, Poe Dameron and Finn are sent to a secret Resistance base tucked away on Lothal to serve as acting generals. Their numbers dwindled to barely a handful, and with General Organa’s order grounding all surviving Resistance personnel to heal and regroup, morale is at an all time low. Poe grapples with his inability to sit still; the First Order looms, an ever-encroaching threat to what remains of the Outer Rim’s free space; intimate feelings grow impossible to ignore and a shocking return promises devastating consequences not only for those stationed on Lothal, but for the Resistance and galaxy at large. 

A/N: An AU adventure, a side-quest of sorts, to account for some of the time between TLJ and ROS. Stormpilot centric. Canon up until the end of TLJ (but does not take into account Resistance Reborn or the Finn/Rose arc).

Masterlist

CHAPTER 7

“Don’t even think about it,” Vrees hissed. 

Poe shot him a glance. Vrees was right. But they weren’t exactly spoiled with options here. So, he took a deep breath, squared his

shoulders…

The door behind them flew open. 

“Dr. Bexon!” a human boy called out. 

Immediately, blaster fire smacked into the stone by their heads, raining debris and dust down on them. The boy squeaked and ducked back inside. Dr. Bexon jumped in after him and Poe and Vrees pulled Iolo in. 

“You can’t go back out there now!” 

But with Iolo gently deposited beyond the safety of the threshold, before she could protest further, Poe and Vrees were already back outside. Poe hit the data panel on the wall and the door closed. 

Torin had entered the market square, and was advancing on Finn and Karé’s position. They broke away from the cover of the fountain, both firing, and dashed toward the base’s entrance in the alley ahead. Torin was forced to duck for cover, which allowed them to vault through the base door, BB-8 hot on their heels. Poe and Vrees used the opening to sprint after them. The control panel on the side sparked and smoked. No way to close it behind them.

Once on the other side, the shower of laser bolts resumed, sparks flying. Poe flattened himself against the wall, Vrees opposite him. “We’re just going to have to draw him in.”

Together, they pressed deeper into the obscurity, staying out of the way of downed light bars.  Those that had not shattered on impact, tinked on and off intermittently, illuminating pockets of damage around them and slowly providing a clearer picture. It was a miracle any of the base was still standing. Durasteel ceiling panels grazed the floor, ripped from their welds by the sheer force of the blast. Several walls had caved, wrenching support beams from the ceilings. Incident command and the med-bay were in various states of disarray, but up ahead the mess hall was destroyed, the ceiling collapsed to the floor in a mound of jagged pipes and chunks of permacrete.

Vrees took incident command, Poe the medbay. It was a toss up, but if they could draw in Torin and corner him in one of the rooms, they may have hope of getting the upper hand. 

Poe picked his way through the destroyed furniture to an overturned exam table, sliding behind it. 

Then, footsteps. Right outside the door. 

A blast tore through the table, by his head, the heat of it glancing off his cheekbone. Bolts all around him kicked up rubble shards as they connected with the ruined floor. He scrambled behind a cabinet, panting, dust in his eyes. Around him, the base groaned and shifted, the structure complaining under the strain of destruction. The blaster fire stopped. 

Poe held his breath, checked the charge on his weapon. Almost out of juice. He risked a glance around the corner of the cabinet, centimeter by centimeter. The doorway was empty. So was the rest of the room. He darted out into the open. Their plan was coming together after all. Torin must have continued into incident command. Poe would just block the doorway, box him in and —

The heel of a blaster to the side of his face sent him sprawling. Gray lapped the edges of his vision. Poe grappled for his blaster, blindly crawling his fingertips to it across the floor. A boot kicked it out of the way. 

“C’mon now. This was just getting fun.” Torin stood above him, a boot on either side of his chest, blaster leveled at Poe’s face.

“What did they do to you, Torin?”

Like flipping a switch, Torin’s face slipped back into that fragile, frightened look. “They tortured me.” It dropped away like a mask, replaced by the deadened smile. “Until I broke. The rest was easy.” 

“Do you know how many innocent people you’ve killed?”

“Don’t be so shortsighted.”

“All this, for what? So Lothal could be absorbed into First Order space? Was it really worth it? What do they have on you?”

Torin grabbed a fistful of Poe’s shirt with startling force. “My parents wasted so much time hating them after my brother was taken—they never stopped to think he might be serving a greater purpose. Making them proud.”

Poe’s heart plummeted. So just like Finn, Torin’s brother had been taken from his family and conscripted as a stormtrooper. A greater purpose… More like disposable human shields. However they had wormed their way into his brain… Torin Baz was gone. Poe’s mouth went dry. Maybe there had always been something insidious in Torin. They just found the loose string and pulled. 

“Imagine what they’ll say,” Torin’s voice cut through the spiral of his thoughts. “When I bring them the head of Poe Dameron. Best pilot in the Resistance.”

A resounding crack cut him off, and Torin pitched forward beside Poe, unconscious. Vrees stood above them, blaster in hand. 

“Took you long enough.”

“I could say the same for you.” Vrees pulled Poe to his feet. “Let’s get him restrained.”

* * *

After some digging, Vrees and Poe located padded medical restraints in a smashed cabinet and used them to secure Torin to a chair. It didn’t take long for him to wake. 

“Why did you blow up the base?” Poe launched into his line of questioning at the first sign of wakefulness.

Torin rolled his shoulders, arms secured behind his back, restraints clinking against the metal of the chair. He lifted his gaze to hold Poe’s, unperturbed. “You’re asking the wrong questions.”

“Oh, this is gonna be good.”

“You’re always one step behind. This is exactly why your precious New Republic failed.”

Vrees scoffed. “Not sure if you’ve heard the stories about their predecessor called the Empire, but that wasn’t sustainable for a reason.” 

“C’mon, Torin,” Poe softened. Maybe he was still in there, somewhere. “You can’t really believe in the First Order’s vision for the galaxy?”

“That would be too devastating for you to handle, wouldn’t it?”

Vrees cut in. “That’s enough. What’s the end goal? So the First Order can claim Kothal now. What next?”

“It’s distressing, isn’t it? Being in the dark about your own looming fate?”

Poe grabbed the armrests of the chair, leaning in close to Torin’s face. He could smell the sweat and metallic rankness of the blood in his hair. “That part of the deal, huh? You come up with those shitty one-liners and suddenly you’re First Order material?”

Torin held his gaze, impassible. Poe finally broke away, putting some distance between them as he breathed, heart hammering. 

“You have no idea what’s coming.” There was something hungry about Torin, malicious, as if the good-natured kid from Tanaab had never even existed. “This was just the beginning.” 

Torin sprung from the chair, freed from his restraints, and slammed Poe to the floor with him. Vrees threw himself on top of Torin’s back, forearms around his neck. Torin had never been scrappy—he held his own on the sparring mat, and maybe in that one cantina fight—but now, he fought with a brutality Poe had never seen. Vrees held fast around Torin’s neck, who twisted and writhed, teeth bared. 

“Give it up, kid,”  Vrees grunted. “Go down easy.”

With the pressure on his neck, Torin finally went limp against Vrees. They lowered him to the ground. Vrees bent over, panting. “He’s not telling us anything.”

“Let’s get him in a jail cell at City Hall.” Poe sat back on his heels, chest heaving from the exertion. “Get off this base before it comes down on us. And get some better restraints.” 

His eyes were pulled to the ones that had fallen from the back of the chair. They’d been slashed by something. A blade. 

Poe didn’t register Torin move until it was too late; he barreled into Vrees, and jammed the knife deep into his chest.

Ignore

I found myself in the middle of chaos last week because the school lovingly involved me in a night fun run. I like to run and I like the night but I don't like to run with people who know me (there are hundreds of them).

I just want to avoid the crowd so I went there four hours before the schedule. It was brave of me to go to that far away mall alone and to cooperate in an event I didn't like to sign myself in so, I rewarded myself with lemonade (with ginger). I was certain that this juice bar/stall was strategically situated near a bookstore for a purpose and look! Ha.

I went inside the bookstore, scanned the shelves, and bought "Turning Forty" by Mike Gayle for 15 pesos! squeals Bought the book because it has Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's thoughts about turning 40. I'm currently in a "Friends" binge right now and you know... hahaha the book is meant to be read by me!

I read it at the mall's charging station (because, few people) and only paused to get myself fried rice and siomai and went back to the third floor of the building to read again. I was having fun!

If not for the occasional trips to the comfort room and small talks with colleagues, that would have been my happiest memory inside a mall.

That's it for tonight :)

Good night lovely people.

How would cherry react to you coming home late from work and you brought a friend/coworker back home with you?

It's the second night in a row that you come home late. Normally around this time, Cherry would be at his charging station, but he couldn’t rest with you gone. He cleans the house from top to bottom, waits at the front door- lays in your bed; but he never calls you. It's not his place to, and you're his loving master that will always come back to him. You have to.

When a car pulls into the driveway, Cherry is on guard. Yours was still in the garage and you hadn't used it in days. It's even he hears the sound of your voice and keys in hand that he hurries to the door. They stick in the lock as he rips the door open; screen shifting to a cheerful smile to welcome you home.

"Master, you're home! I missed you so very much."

"Sorry I'm late, Cherry. I brought some company with me."

His hopes that the car was just a taxi die in a flame as he looks over at the person standing next to you. They wave, unsure what to make of your robot companion's gaze. Cherry breaks the heavy silent with a laugh. He has to be a welcoming host afterall.

"Yes, of course. You are a busy person afterall. C-come right in."

It's always important to be polite, even if the person is taking your master's attention away from you everyday and causing them to come home super late, which results in you panicking and worrying for their safety. He grips the doorknob either force; fighting the urge to slam it in their face as they walk inside.

"May I ask how long they will be staying? So I can.. prepare a room if we need it."

"They won't be here long. Work's up been hard, and they need someone to talk to."

Cherry beams. How kind of you to give a helping hand to someone who didn't deserve it. As expected of his master.

"I see, how thoughtful." Cherry turns to your friend, addressing them directly for the first time. "Can I get you anything then? Water? Coffee? The front door? Juice?"

"Um... Coffee is fine."

Cherry bows. "As you wish, dear guest."

As he walks away, he overhears your company calling him kinda strange. His screen glitches.

While the coffee brews, Cherry can't help, but eavesdrop on your conversation. They hardly sound like an overworked employee, and rather some pest trying to pick someone up from a bar. He knows he should, but he peaks around the door frame to look at the two of you. Your friend has their arm drapped on the cushion behind you, getting closer by the second. For some reason, Cherry suddenly remembers the drain cleaner he left out on a counter... What an odd coincidence.

-

"Coffee's ready!" Cherry brings out a cup, and places it on the table. The coffee is light in color; taken off the pot before it was completely done. Cherry crosses his hands over his lap, waiting for them to take the first sip.

"Blegh!" They spit it out, rubbing the horrid taste off their tongue.

"My apologizes." Cherry states- speaking before they could even utter a word. "It looks like I confused the sugar with salt while I was taking care of other things in the kitchen. I'm important to my master's daily routine afterall.. unlike you"

Omg you should write about Y/n spoiling Harry for his first father’s day!! And he’d definitely get all emotional for his girls 😭

i’m sorry this took so looooong but i rlly love it and i hope you do too <3

here is the first gift I imagine, the charging station

and here is the star map (but with some minor changes that i tried to explain in the writing, i’m not that good at explanations so it’s probably slightly confusing sorry about that :) )

father's day

warnings: none

word count: 1.7k

"Good morning," you said in a quiet sing-song voice, opening Stevie's door slowly. She smiled brightly, standing with her hands grasped on the bars of crib.

"Hi mama," She said, bouncing in place.

"Hi baby," You smiled, moving over to the window to open her blinds. Early morning light streamed into the room, shining on the baby's face and reflecting off her green eyes. "Did you have a good sleep?" You asked, picking her up from the crib. She cuddled into your side, smiling as you bounced her softly on your hip.

You treasured mornings like this, where you could just hold your baby. You really didn't get to do it much. Harry typically woke up earlier than you, taking care of Stevie so you could sleep a little longer. You felt bad at first, but he always reassured you that he liked having these quiet moments with her. He said it was the perfect way to start his day, and it put him in a good mood since he had to go to work and wouldn't get to see either of you for the rest of the day.

Not today, though. Today was Father's Day, and you were determined to make it a good one for him. He really was an amazing dad, and you wanted to make sure he knew. So this morning when you heard Stevie fussing, you pushed him back down in the bed and got up yourself. He objected at first, but you wouldn't hear another word. You had rushed out of the room before he could get up, leaving him to flop back down and (hopefully) get some more sleep. You figured it wouldn't be too hard for him. Stevie had a rough night, and neither of you had gotten much rest the night before. You didn't care, though. Harry was always the one to be selfless and let you relax, so today you wanted to do the same for him.

"Should we go get some breakfast?" You asked Stevie as you finished changing her diaper. "Hm?" You tickled her feet a bit, smiling when she giggled loudly. "Shh, daddy's still sleeping!"

She lifted her arms up to you, clearly wanting to be held again. Of course you obliged, picking her up and closing the container of wipes on the changing table. You settled everything back into the drawers before you made your way downstairs and into the kitchen.

"What should we make today?" You hummed thoughtfully, opening the fridge. Stevie was still balanced on your hip, but she reached for the yogurt cartons. "Yogurt it is," You smiled, leaning forward so she could reach easier. "Maybe an orange, too."

She didn't respond, completely engrossed by the container in her small hands.

"I think I'll do pancakes. Daddy might like those," you decided, grabbing an orange for her, and one for yourself. You set Stevie in her highchair, opening the yogurt and handing her a spoon so she could begin making a huge mess and (maybe) actually eating some yogurt. You moved to the cutting board, slicing the orange into small pieces she could eat safely. Once she was settled, you grabbed the milk and eggs from the fridge.

You started your morning playlist, the rich sound of Hozier's voice drifting through the kitchen as you found the recipe you needed. Then you began mixing the batter, humming softly as you worked.

It really was the perfect morning. It was still early, so the light coming through the large windows was soft and red tinted. The kitchen smelled like oranges and pancakes, the sweet scents complementing each other. You had the windows open so the soft breeze came in, bringing the smell of early summer with it. Your playlist was soft, adding nicely to the domestic feel of the morning. Stevie would babble every once in a while, wanting to be involved in what you were doing. You would explain every step to her, telling her what each ingredient was for. This was something you and Harry did often. Of course, there were times when you baby talked her, but you also liked to have normal conversation with her. You knew it would help her develop and begin to talk faster. Also, it was funny when she babbled and Harry acted like he understood everything she said.

Once the pancakes were finished, you began the process of cleaning everything up. You wanted Harry to have a relaxing morning, and you knew he would try to do something to help since he had gotten to sleep in. You weren't about to let him do a bunch of house chores. Not today.

You put all the ingredients away before wiping off the counter top. Then you moved to set the table. You put the stack of pancakes in the middle, along with the bottle of syrup and a bowl of berries. You set out plates, silverware, cups, and the pitcher of orange juice. Once you were satisfied, you brought the washcloth over to Stevie.

Your earlier thoughts had been correct. She had at least half the carton of yogurt smeared on her face, hands, and shirt.

After only a small amount of fighting and fussing from her, you had cleaned her off and lifted her out of the highchair.

"Let's go get daddy," you said, smiling when her face lit up at the mention of one of her favorite people.

-----

"Morning, Harry," you said softly, pushing open the door with Stevie still balanced on your hip. You hadn't been loud enough, apparently, because he didn't move. He would never admit it to you, but he had been exhausted lately. He wouldn't tell you that getting up in the night and early every morning was taking a toll on him, because he knew you would feel bad. Which is why you really wanted to let him sleep this morning.

It was much later then he usually slept, though, and you didn't want the food to get cold. So you put Stevie on the bed next to him, settling down on the other side of him and letting her do her thing. She immediately crawled on top of him, giggling and bouncing.

"Good morning," he smiled sleepily, reaching up to grab her and stop her jumping. Stevie squealed, laughing when he pulled her against him and cuddled her. She wasn't in the mood to be still, though, and she quickly squirmed away from him. "What, I can't have a hug?" He pouted, but smiled again when you leaned into him.

"You can have a hug from me," you said, "But it might not be as good as hers."

"Nonsense," he grinned, pulling you against him. He grabbed Stevie again, pulling her into the hug even though she squirmed. "Stevie, this is family time. Calm down for a minute."

She laughed again when he danced his fingers along her tummy.

"Well, she's not gonna calm down if you tickle her," you laughed. "That much should be obvious to you."

"Right," he smiled. "Anyways, why did you make me go back to sleep this morning? I'm not complaining, but I feel bad you had to get up early."

"Harry, you get up early with her every single day. You deserve a day off. And it's Father's Day. And you are a father. So you should get to relax today."

"Well, thank you," he leaned up to kiss you. "That's very sweet of you."

"Of course," you smiled. "But now you have to get up. I made pancakes."

"Did you?" he perked up immediately at that.

"I did," you laughed. "Come on, everything's ready and it'll get cold."

"Alright, alright, I'm coming," he said, throwing the blankets off and picking up Stevie. "Let's go eat some pancakes!" He looked at her, grinning when she smiled up at him.

-----

"Thank you so much, love, breakfast was delicious," He said, placing the plates in the dishwasher. He had insisted on helping you clean up the table, even when you protested.

"Thank you," you smiled, pressing a quick kiss to his lips. "Sit back down, I have something for you."

"C'mere, Stevie," he said, lifting her out of her highchair and onto his lap. "What did you and mommy get for me?"

She babbled in response, and you smiled to yourself as you went into the hall closet to find the box of his gifts. You could hear him responding to her, acting like he understood all her babbling.

"Ok, here we are," you said, setting the two items on the table in front of him. "Open this one first." You pushed the box closer to him, the wrapped picture frame farther back.

He did as you said, pulling the paper off the box. Inside was a wooden charging station with a space for his phone, watch, and airpods.

"Thought that might be good, since you're always losing everything. This way you can keep them all in one place," you explained.

He rolled his eyes playfully. "Well not always," he said, but smiled nonetheless. "Maybe sometimes. Thank you," he pulled you closer by your waist.

"And that next one is more personal," you said, pulling the flat item closer.

He tore the paper off again, his eyes softening when he looked at the images. There were three circles, each with a star map inside them. The outer two were larger and set slightly above the middle, one printed with your name and one with Harry's. The middle one had Stevie's name. Birthdays were printed under each name, all in gold scripty font. "You, me, and Stevie," He said fondly, running his finger over the lettering at the top which read "The Styles Family".

You nodded. "I saw it on Etsy and I had to get it. It's just such a cute idea, and it'll look really nice on the wall above the bookshelf."

"It will," he agreed. "I love this. Thank you," he smiled, pulling at your shirt until you leaned down so he could kiss you.

"You're welcome," you smiled. "I hope this makes for a good first Father's Day."

"It's perfect, love. Better than I could have ever asked for."
