Can I request a jealous Santiago Garcia headcanon?

Jealous Santiago Garcia

Santiago "Pope" Garcia x f!reader

When you and Santiago started sleeping together sometime after your friendship with the boys commenced, he made it abundantly clear that he wanted it to be casual. Recently back in Florida after an extended stint overseas with far too much mental baggage, he outright told you he wasn’t fit for a relationship. Not the kind you deserved, anyway. So you let yourself play a dangerous game with him, consequences be damned. 

As time goes on, the two of you continue to dance around one another—friends by day, a needy, sweaty mess in the sheets by night. It grows harder to continue to stamp your feelings down the more times that you tangle your fingers into Santi’s greying curls as he kisses you squarely on the mouth, but unbeknownst to you, he’s struggling, too. And while he may resolutely keep his lips sealed, Santiago’s jealousy begins to find a way to slip through the cracks anyway, bit by bit.

The first time it happens, you don’t think too much of it. A particularly rowdy night at the bar finds you in Benny’s arms on the dance floor, and given his lack of awareness of what exactly goes on between you and his best friend behind closed doors, his hands skirt the boundary of indecency as he chuckles and playfully brushes his nose against your neck.

Afterward, Santiago insists on driving you home, but you only make it to the bar’s parking lot before his hands find a familiar home around your waist, and his lips track their favorite well-worn path across your collarbone. There’s an impatient, slightly frantic edge to it all, the way he can’t even wait to get you to your apartment, choosing instead to fuck you right there in the backseat of his truck, gripping your hips like his life depends on it as he drives his shaft into you. 

Try as you might, Santi has always turned down your invitations to come along to the local farmer’s market on Saturday mornings. However, when he hears Frankie insisting that the friendly vendor that gives you a free flower every week is probably at least a little bit in love with you, Santiago’s suddenly ready to come along bright and early the following weekend. And when Frankie elbows you with a chuckle when the florist’s booth comes into view, Santi’s wallet is already in his hands as he strides over and makes a show of buying you a bouquet of sunflowers. 

Later, when Will, Frankie, and Benny all decide to call it a night after having dinner at your place, Santi’s thrown off by the way your phone’s lock screen lights up with an array of messages from a dating app (which you’d recently downloaded for the sole purpose of a distraction from him). Santi doesn’t say anything about it, but he does cage you in against the sink while you’re washing the dishes. He presses a trail of hot kisses across the back of your neck before sliding up the skirt of your dress, gently kicking your legs apart and licking his way into your sensitive folds until you’re a sopping, trembling mess for him. 

One evening, as Santi’s in the midst of slipping out of your bed to head home after you’re both panting and sated, he casually asks you to have dinner the next day. You’re borderline embarrassed to tell him that you have a date with a guy from work who’s been trying to ask you out for ages. When you return home alone after said lackluster outing, you pause when you spy Santi’s jacket still hanging on the hook in your entryway. Like a fucking statement. Meanwhile, the soft, black cotton t-shirt he’d been wearing under his button down the night before still lies “forgotten” on the floor on his side of the bed. (Since when did he have his own side?)

When the time for your work’s holiday party rolls around, you wave your phone around to show the boys the plus one tacked onto the email invite. And though Benny ultimately wins the impromptu pool tournament that ensues to secure the spot (fuelled by the promise of very fancy food), unbeknownst to you, Santi later bargains his way in instead—by way of a ludicrous amount of favors to be owed to Benny, of course. 

Failed date or not, your coworker still has eyes for you at the party. Eyes that certainly don’t miss Santi’s lingering hand on your waist throughout the evening. Said man makes the bold decision to slide into Santi’s vacated seat to chat with you while he saunters off to the bar to grab drinks. And yet, despite the fact that you’d introduced Santiago as your “friend” to your coworkers when dinner began, the title doesn’t quite roll off the tongue as well when you then find his cock plunging deep inside of your cunt as he fucks you in a bathroom stall before dessert’s even been served, drinks long forgotten back at the table. 

Santi fucks you again when you get back to your place, but it's different. It’s unhurried. It’s soft. It's vulnerable. It’s more goddamn intimate than it's ever been—the way he gazes down at you as he breaches your entrance, the way he brushes his thumb across the curve of your jaw, the way his mouth desperately seeks out yours as his hips begin to stutter…the way he whispers cariño as he presses a kiss to the top of your head when he thinks you’re already asleep.

(It’s the first time he’s ever spent the night.)

The next morning, you’re disappointed to find yourself alone in bed...until Santiago makes his way back from the bathroom a moment later, and he doesn’t miss the look in your eyes as you glance over at him—the relief, the longing, the hope; it’s mirrored on his own face as well.

“You stayed.”

“I’m tired of pretending that I want to leave.”

“So don’t.”

And after he crawls back under the covers, back to you, Santiago holds you tightly in his arms as he finally admits to himself that there's nowhere else he'd rather be.

Day 20: GE Evolution Series

Info from Wikipedia:

The Evolution Series is a line of diesel locomotives built by GE Transportation Systems (now owned by Wabtec), initially designed to meet the U.S. EPA's Tier 2 locomotive emissions standards that took effect in 2005. The first pre-production units were built in 2003. Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with either AC or DC traction motors, depending on the customer's preference. All are powered by the GE GEVO engine.[4]

The Evolution Series was named as one of the "10 Locomotives That Changed Railroading" by Trains Magazine and was the only locomotive introduced after 1972 to be included in that list.[5]

The Evolution Series locomotives are some of the best-selling and most successful freight locomotives in United States history.

Currently, six different Evolution Series models have been produced for the North American market. They are all six axle locomotives and have the wheel arrangement C-C (AAR classification) or Co′Co′ (UIC classification), except for the ES44C4 which has an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement and the meter-gauge version developed for the Brazilian network ES43BBi which is B-B-B-B.

The ES44DC (Evolution Series, 4,400 hp, DC traction) replaced the Dash 9-44CW model in the General Electric catalogue. Primary users are BNSF Railway, CSX Transportation, and Canadian National Railway. Pilbara Iron in Australia ordered a lengthened, international version designated ES44DCi. The extra length is used for a larger radiator to increase cooling capacity in the Australian outback.

The ES44AC (Evolution Series, 4,400 hp, AC traction) replaced the AC4400CW model in the General Electric catalogue. These locomotives have been ordered by every Class I railroad in North America: Union Pacific Railroad (who refers to these locomotives as the C45ACCTE), BNSF Railway, CSX Transportation, Norfolk Southern Railway, Kansas City Southern Railway, Kansas City Southern de Mexico, Ferromex, Canadian Pacific Railway, and Canadian National Railway.

The ES44C4 (Evolution Series, 4,400 hp, C to denote 3 axles per truck, 4 traction motors) was introduced in 2009. While similar to the ES44AC, the ES44C4 has two traction motors per truck, instead of the conventional three such as on the ES44AC. No ES44C4s with DC traction were built. The center axle of each truck is unpowered, giving an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement. BNSF Railway is the launch customer for this model, ordering an initial batch of 25 units numbered 6600–6624.

The ES44C4 was initially only built for BNSF. The 4200s and units 7921-7999 are certified as Tier 4 Credit units, while the others are Tier 2 or Tier 3. On 30 January 2014 Florida East Coast Railway announced that they would buy 24 ES44C4s, to be numbered 800–823, for heavy haul service and intermodal traffic. All were delivered by the end of 2014, in order to beat the EPA's deadline on exhaust-emissions standards for new-built Tier 3 locomotives.

A feature of these units is a variable traction control system in their computer systems. One of the differences between an ES44AC and an ES44C4 are the air cylinders and linkages on the truck sideframes of the ES44C4; these are part of the traction control system. Every time a variation in grade, traction, or wheel slip occurs, the computer adjusts the pressure in these cylinders to maintain sufficient adhesion, by varying the weight on the drive axles.

The ES44DCi (Evolution Series, 4400 horsepower, DC traction, international version) was built for the Rio Tinto railway in Australia. The ES44ACi was built for the Roy Hill and Rio Tinto Group.

Rio Tinto's units can be remotely driven, meaning nobody has to be in the cab as they can be controlled from a control center.

The ES44ACi/DCi is essentially an ES44AC/DC in a GE AC6000CW's body, with the radiator at the end protruding out over the rear deck in the same way the AC6000CW does. The locomotive's large radiator allows it to handle the Australian outback's extreme temperatures.

Roy Hill has ordered 21 ES44ACi locomotives, and is currently in possession of all 21 locomotives (numbered 1001 "Ginny"-1021). Rio Tinto ordered 100 ES44DCi locomotives and has all 100 (numbered 8100–8199) and 21 ES44ACi locomotives (numbered 9100–9120) and more are on order.

Ferromex also acquired 50 ES44ACi. As the construction of these locomotives was subsequent to the new environmental laws of the US, GE cataloged them only as ES44ACi, although in the external technical specifications of the locomotives say ES44AC). These locomotives can no longer reenter the US operating.

The ET44AC (Evolution Series Tier 4, 4,400 hp, AC traction) replaces the ES44AC model. These locomotives have been ordered by most of the Class I railroads in North America, including Union Pacific, CSX Transportation, Norfolk Southern and Canadian National Railway. BNSF Railway will be receiving similar ET44C4 locomotives, which have no traction motor on the middle axle of each truck. CSX designates their ET44ACs as ET44AH, due to their locomotives being heavy-ballasted.

The TE33A is an export 1520 mm gauge locomotive in the GE Evolution Series.

The Evolution Series locomotives are visually similar to the AC4400CW, although small differences are evident. The most noticeable difference is the radiator section at the rear of the locomotive is larger to accommodate the GEVO's Air to air intercoolers. As with the AC6000CW, the radiators project beyond the end of the hood. On the ES44ACi and ES44DCi models, the radiator extends in the same way as the AC6000CW, protruding out over the rear deck. For the other Evolution Series locomotives, the radiator does not protrude completely over the rear deck, but rather sits nearly flush with the rear of the engine hood. Unlike previous GE locomotives, the grills under the radiator are at two different angles. The increase in radiator size is due to the necessity for greater cooling capacity in the locomotive in order to reduce emissions. The other major difference between the Evolution Series and earlier models are the vents below the radiators, which are larger than those on previous GE locomotives.[11] Also, all Evolution Series units have air conditioners mounted below the cab on the conductor's side.

In 2002, GE and UGL Limited launched the Evolution Series locomotive, and in 2009, continued their partnership for another 10 years for UGL to distribute and sell GE locomotives in Australia.

Transnet Engineering in South Africa has a license to manufacture 233 4,200 hp (3,100 kW) 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) Cape gauge ES40ACi locomotives for Transnet Freight Rail, with core components including GEVO-12 engines supplied from the United States.

The first six of these Class 44-000 locomotives were built in Erie, Pennsylvania in April and July 2015. In October 2015, the first of the 227 South African-built locomotives was nearing completion at Transnet Engineering's Koedoespoort shops in Pretoria.

Places, people and delicious food are main ingredients of Worth Tasting: Culinary Weekend in Paradise

Editor’s Note:Chris Bartlett, co-founder and co-host of Worth Tasting, contributed to this column

Food, the love language of travel, most times, stands the test of time, and more importantly, remains central to the many memories we conjure up, surrounding the places we visit and explore.  There is something about food and passion that naturally goes together like chocolate and peanut butter or rice and beans.  Whether we are heading somewhere farther away or planning a more localized day trip, food and beverage will always be the greatest common denominator that most defines both the people and the places where we spend the precious free time our lives afford us.

Oftentimes, food is the best part of any trip we take. The food-tourism industry is relatively new. In the book, “Have Fork Will Travel,” by Erik Wolf defines it as “the pursuit and enjoyment of unique and memorable food and drink experiences, both near and far.��

Seriously, who doesn’t relish an eclectic and tantalizing food festival . . .?  How about a delish international dish anyone?  Can you even say food trucks without thinking about what you might order at the next take-out window you find yourself standing in front of . . . From restaurants and local markets to food-production factories, cooking classes and culinary walking tours, most of us cannot get enough of these kinds of experiences both at home, and on the road.

Today, destination marketing organizations are curating beer, wine, cheese and even chocolate trails.  They can be very specific, considering these: BBQ Trail in Mississippi, Pimento Cheese Trail in South Carolina, Pepperoni Trail in West Virginia, the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky, and Pennsylvania’s Pickled: A Fermented Trail. There’s even a hotel with culinary-inspired designs throughout the property, complete with an epicurean theatre; in other words, a paradise for foodies.

I can still recall so many memories of what and where we ate, on my first-ever culinary-walking tour in Portland, Oregon, some 15-plus years ago.  Perhaps the only thing hotter than that 104-degree day, was my instantaneous passion and fervor, to not only go on tours such as this one everywhere I could find them (way less tours existed back then), but to launch a tour in my current home city of New Haven, Connecticut, where I had recently began a stint as a food columnist for the New Haven Register. The column was the ideal vehicle for me to share my passion for culinary travel experiences. It enabled me to celebrate the talented chefs and share their stories with each of my columns. Thus, Worth Tasting, a Culinary-Walking Tour of Downtown New Haven was born and took its first group through the Elm City’s streets, to markets, restaurants, and specialty food shops. The tour’s co-founder and co-host, Chris Bartlett, had a vision to expand, beyond the New Haven tour. Many people have written, asking how they might “live” the culinary travel features I write.

Voila, Worth Tasting Weekends is launching, which has its premiere weekend set for October 20-23 at The Addison on Amelia Island, Florida. It seems people cannot get enough food and culinary outings; thus the industry has quickly sophisticated to offer myriad, themed-food-and-specialty-beverage tours and getaways globally.  From local and regional culinary-walking tours to weekend food festivals and themed excursions, it seems now is the time to dive into trying one of these out, and it doesn’t matter if you are foodie or simply enjoy sharing time together with friends and family, experiencing one of life’s simple pleasures…food.

Before I delve deeper into the upcoming Worth Tasting: Culinary Weekend in Paradise, here are some of the culinary tours in Greater Philadelphia. I cannot encourage you enough to give one of these a try – it will change your feelings on how to experience food from different neighborhoods to a city at large.

Now, if you travel through Pennsylvania, beyond Greater Philadelphia, to explore food landmarks across the state, a copy of Pennsylvania “Good Eats: Exploring the State’s Favorite, Unique, Historic, and Delicious Foods,” by Brian Yarvin (2021, Globe Pequot, $21.95) is a must. The author writes, “it’s the right time to take a fresh look at what Pennsylvania eats.”

If a fall trip is on your agenda, then plan a weekend in paradise; Worth Tasting: An Exciting Tasting Tour on Amelia Island. You’ll  spend the weekend in historic downtown Fernandina Beach, FL on Amelia Island learning the secrets of creating food boards to enjoy at the inn as well as ideas to take home to share and prepare for family and friends. The culinary weekend includes a 3-course breakfast each morning at the inn, lunch on Saturday and Sunday, an evening social hour with complimentary beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the inn, dinner Friday night at a local brewery plus Sunday night at España Restaurant and Tapas. There’s more…a culinary walking tour in the historic district, a visit to the farmers market to pick up the freshest items to make beautiful food boards and a luncheon at Story & Song, a two-story bookstore followed by a cookbook market. Attendees will also receive a copy of a cookbook featuring food boards. For a detailed itinerary and reservations visit bit.ly/3QXgI4j

The inn’s three Antebellum-style buildings surround a courtyard, fountain, and charming gardens. Lisa West, owner of the inn with her husband Ron, said, “the inn blends the elegance of a bygone era with the modern amenities and conveniences the discriminating traveler expects.” By the way, Lisa hails from the Philadelphia area, and looks forward to catching up on what’s going on in her hometown when you visit. Watch my interview with Lisa here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOIs2pn2qUk

Complimentary bikes to explore Fort Clinch and/or Eagan’s Creek are available at the inn. A block away is Center Street, where you can check out boutiques, shops, museums galleries and of course food, that is if you are still hungry with all the food included during the weekend.

I look forward to having you join me to experience much of what I wrote about The Addison on Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach, earlier in the year. Check out the website below and be the first to know about other destinations as they are rolled out by subscribing to the blog.

Hello class, My name is Todd and this is my third semester at SCF. Something interesting about me is that I have been out of school for 35 years and I love spending time with my 5 and soon to be 6 grandchildren. 

Hokusai 1823-1829 The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, from the series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. Color woodcut, 10” x 15 - Google Search

Title: Under the Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa oki nami ura), also known as The Great Wave, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Artist: Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, Tokyo (Edo) 1760–1849 Tokyo (Edo))

Period: Edo period (1615–1868)

Date: ca. 1830–32

Culture: Japan

Medium: Woodblock print; ink and color on paper

Dimensions: 10 1/8 x 14 15/16 in. (25.7 x 37.9 cm)

Classification: Prints

Credit Line: H. O. Havemeyer Collection, Bequest of Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer, 1929

Accession Number: JP1847

5 Facts

*Hokusai may have wished to depict a fear of and respect for the ocean with this play on perspective. Mount Fuji holds religious/sacred significance in Japan. The Great Wave is best thought of as a large, rogue wave or perhaps as a mythical event, a "yarn" told by sailors.

*Fuji was seen as the source of the secret of immortality, a tradition that was at the heart of Hokusai's own obsession with the mountain.

*The Great Wave off Kanagawa is part of a print series called Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and is not a stand-alone piece. The Great Wave is said to be a rogue wave that catches the fishermen off guard, although it is generally referred to be a tsunami wave.

*The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai masterfully distills the majesty of the ocean into a two-dimensional painting that is both deceptively simple and fascinating. But you might be surprised by what lurks beneath this revered 19th-century masterpiece.

*Many people see Mount Fuji as sacred, and it has developed a cult following. So it was a no-brainer to create a series of portrait prints that could be mass-produced and marketed at low prices. However, as tourism to Japan grew, the prints resurfaced as part of a burgeoning souvenir industry, particularly if they represented the country's gorgeous mountain.

When I first looked at the artwork I thought it was about boats racing thru a storm and fighting the huge waves. I never envisioned it as the Great Wave can be taken as a symbolic image of an important change happening to Japanese society, a change which brings the presence of foreign influences coming from the uncertainty of the sea and opposed to the firmness and stillness of Mount Fuji, the established symbol for the soul of Japan. Elements of Design such as Pattern, Emphasis and Proportion are also present in the artwork, and are noticeable in the waves. The images overall feels calm but the theme or context is dark with the fishermen struggling for their lives to survive against such odds. Historically, the constant cycle of waves has signified tranquility as well as powerful ferocity and resilience - the endless ebb and flow of water along the shore is a permanent reminder of both the passing of time as well as the dangerous power of the ocean.

This piece of art is important to me because I was a fireman for 15 years in New York. Although I never fought fires with this truck, I did however drive it in parades. The media used is reality because it is an actual truck. I believe that the use it serves is real. I like looking at artwork that resembles real things. I know this is real because I was there when it was created.

Self Portrait

I am a 54-year-old white male. I am from New York and moved to Florida in 2007. As far as fun, I enjoy spending time with my 5 and soon to be 6 grandchildren. I would do anything to make them happy. I am a general manager at a local fast/casual restaurant. I am also taking 5 classes online. As you can see in my picture, I am a little exhausted. I originally went to school to build houses but moved to the medical field briefly as an EMT. From there I went into the bodyshop business towing cars and trucks. I then went into driving tractor-trailers for several years until the ramp on my truck broke and I became disabled. I did not work for several years after that. I am well-rounded and a hard worker.

This is me and who I am. I work full-time and attend classes full-time. My grandchildren require attention full time also. It does get a little tiring especially when doing schoolwork at 3AM. I just keep pushing forward.
