#DIY Silver Polish

[katrinaisha]

Maggymaid House cleaning in Indianapolis can be a costly task, but it can be done with simple methods. Baking soda is a great cleaner, and it can be used to deep clean silverware. Dish soap and warm water can be used as a cleaner, and lime-lemon soda can be used for various housekeeping activities. Hand sanitizer can be used to buff silver, and cornstarch can be used as a cleaner. Toothpaste can be used to polish silver, but be cautious as some varieties can be abrasive. To care for silver, avoid storing it in plastic, never put it in an oven, and be considerate of it. If you're on a tight budget, hiring Maggy Maid house cleaning services in Indianapolis can save you money by producing most of your cleaning solutions from scratch.

☠️DIY COUPLE COSTUME - MODERN AU: CROSSHAIR X YOU (day 9 of 31)

synopsis: you and Crosshair needed to create a last-minute costume for a Halloween party

warning: fluffy, establish relationship.

 a/n: Hello there, grumpy and affectionate boyfriend is my headcanon for Crosshair,  hope you like it💖

ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍɪᴅᴅʟᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ɴɪɢʜᴛ ɪ ᴄᴀɴ ꜱᴇᴇ

ꜱɪʟᴠᴇʀ ʟɪɢʜᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛʀᴇᴇᴛꜱ

ʏᴏᴜ ᴛʜᴇ ꜰɪɴᴇꜱᴛ ᴛᴏɴɪɢʜᴛ ɪ ᴅᴏɴᴇ ꜱᴇᴇɴ

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Crosshair’s voice carried that familiar edge of irritation, his long fingers rifling through the clothes in your shared closet, tossing them onto the bed without care. Each discarded item added to the growing pile, and every glance he gave himself in the mirror was accompanied by a scowl before he’d hurl the next piece aside.

“I didn’t know it was a costume party,” you replied, trying to sound calm as you sat cross-legged on the floor, rummaging through a drawer in a desperate search for anything costume-worthy.

Crosshair huffed, his sharp eyes narrowing. “It’s Halloween, darling. Obviously, it’s a costume party.” His tone was sharper than usual, revealing how on edge he was. He already wasn’t a fan of parties—too loud, too crowded—but the idea of going without preparation was enough to send his stress skyrocketing. His usual brooding mood had become something far darker, and you could feel the tension radiating off him.

You shrugged, still sifting through the mess of clothes. “With your brother organizing it? Nothing is obvious.” You paused, holding up a tie to your neck and squinting at your reflection. “It’s Hunter, after all.”

Crosshair stopped rifling through the closet for a moment, and you could see the exasperation settle on his face. “This is literally Hunter we’re talking about. There’s no one more obvious than him.” He ran his hand through his silver-gray hair, now tousled from his stress. The thought of showing up unprepared to anything—especially one of Hunter’s events—was gnawing at him.

You gave a thoughtful hum before responding, “True. He’s not exactly subtle.” You stood, walking over to him, guilt creeping into your voice. “I’m sorry, honey. I misread the invitation. I swore it said next week.”

Crosshair’s body softened slightly, though his expression remained distant. “Darling, you’d miss a party even if your life depended on it,” he murmured with an amused smirk. You could feel his tension easing as his long fingers absentmindedly ran through your hair. 

You leaned into his touch, letting out a soft sigh. “That’s probably true.” You pulled out your phone, scrolling through Pinterest, searching for last-minute costume ideas. You held it up, showing him the first few you thought might work. “What about this?”

He glanced at it briefly, and his expression instantly soured. “I’m not dressing up as ketchup,” he grumbled. “Or mustard, for that matter.”

You bit back a laugh and swiped to the next idea. “How about this? We could be soap and a bath loofah.”

Crosshair’s reaction was immediate. “Hand me that,” he said, grabbing the phone. “Apparently, you’ve lost the ability to make good decisions.”

You flopped onto the bed, resting your chin on his chest while he scrolled through TikTok, looking for something that didn’t make him want to crawl out of his own skin. After a few moments, he snorted in frustration. “These so-called ‘easy’ costumes would take more effort than building a new rifle.”

You grinned, tracing random shapes on his sweatshirt with your finger. “How about Backyardigans?”

His look of utter disbelief was priceless. “No.”

“ETs from Toy Story?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Nail polish bottles?”

Crosshair narrowed his eyes at you. “Now you’re just suggesting the most absurd things on purpose.”

You giggled, propping yourself up on your elbows. “So, Mr. Costume Critic, what’s your brilliant idea?”

He stayed silent for a moment, his brow furrowed as he scanned the room for inspiration. His gaze landed on the *Pulp Fiction* poster hanging on the wall. His lips quirked into a half-smile, and he pointed at it. “There. Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega. Simple, but classic.”

You followed his line of sight, grinning as the idea clicked into place. “Not the most original, but it’ll work.”

A few minutes later, you both set to work, rifling through your clothes for the right pieces. Luckily, the thrift store trip last weekend had left Crosshair with a black suit and dress pants. He was already wearing a white shirt, so you added the final touch—a slim black tie, which you carefully tied around his neck. 

“Don’t tell me you forgot how to tie a knot,” you teased, your fingers deftly tightening the tie.

Crosshair smirked, his brown eyes softening for the first time that night. “I know how. I just like when you do it.”

You rolled your eyes, playfully shoving him away. He chuckled, then threw you one of his oversized white dress shirts. “Here. Wear this over your—” his gaze briefly flickered to the black bra you were already wearing “—Mia Wallace look.”

You slipped into the shirt, fastening only a few buttons, then followed him to the bathroom where your makeup bag was waiting on the sink. Crosshair slicked his silver-gray hair back with gel, while you applied a bold red lipstick, adding the final touch with fake blood under your nose.

“Get down here,” you murmured, gesturing to your boyfriend. He knelt before you, wrapping his arms around your waist, resting his head briefly against your belly. The rare intimacy of the gesture made your heart flutter. When he pulled back, you gently started working on his makeup, adding a black eye and a few cuts with fake blood and eyeshadow. 

“Perfect,” you whispered, admiring your handiwork. Crosshair looked up at you with a faint smile. His sharp features were softened by the lighting, the usual intensity in his gaze replaced by something... warmer.

Before he stood, he tilted his head up, capturing your lips in a soft kiss. “Careful,” he murmured, “I don’t want to ruin your lipstick.”

You smiled against his mouth, brushing your nose against his before pulling back. “Maybe I’ll ruin yours.”

Crosshair smirked as he stood up, grabbing the fake blood and splattering it on your white shirt. The red drops sprayed across the bathroom tiles, but neither of you cared. When the costumes were finally ready, you both stepped back, admiring yourselves in the mirror.

“For something last-minute,” you said, adjusting your collar, “we did pretty damn well.”

“Good enough,” Crosshair muttered, taking your hand and pulling you out of the bathroom, leaving the mess of makeup and brushes behind. As you stepped out of the apartment, he glanced at you, his lips twitching in that small, almost hidden smile he reserved just for you. “Let’s hope the party’s worth it.”

Despite the stress of the evening, there was a contentment settling between you. It wasn’t about the party anymore. It was about the two of you, together, navigating whatever chaos life threw your way. As much as he grumbled, you knew Crosshair had enjoyed working through this mess with you. He would never say it, but you could feel it in the way he’d held you close, the way his irritation melted into quiet amusement.

And when you arrived at Hunter’s place, you could only laugh. His costume was a tank top, army pants, and his usual bandana—he claimed he was Rambo. Wrecker’s attempt at a dragon costume was endearing but turned out more abstract than anything else, while Tech and Phee had gone all out with matching steampunk outfits, clearly having prepared for weeks. Echo simply stood off to the side, arms crossed, his face set in his usual stoic expression. “I’m too old for this,” he muttered, though no one dared disagree.

Crosshair sighed, glancing around at his brothers’ half-hearted attempts. “I put in all this effort, and for what?”

You grinned, nudging him gently. “For Omega.”

His expression softened at the mention of her, and he gave a small, resigned nod. “Yeah, for Omega.”

As the night went on, you stayed close to Crosshair, laughing with the others, sipping drinks, and occasionally stealing moments together where no one was watching. And while it hadn’t been the evening Crosshair had planned, he found himself admitting that, maybe, it wasn’t so bad after all. Being with you, solving things together, that was all he really needed.

“Remind me to read the next invitation properly,” you whispered, leaning into him.

Crosshair smirked, his arm slipping around your waist. “No need. I’ve got you covered.”

CHAPTER TWO

Chapter two

She had spent the last fourteen hours kneading dough and mixing batter and rolling out mix until her hands locked, her head was light from dehydration and her stomach was practically screaming for something consumable. Though every millimetre of her five-foot-three self was monopolised in a dull ache from the uninterrupted production of baked goods, Maxine was glowing with relief, disbelief and reward at the milestone she had just accomplished.  She was not phased by the agonising hunger and thirst that her body desperately called out for; instead, it brought a subtle sense of peace, of solidarity to her mind, in tandem to the playlist of soft songs levitating from the speaker in the corner of the bakery, like an energy or an aura.

Positioned above the checkout area, the glass display case exposed a heavenly stash of perfectly browned croissants, glazed cinnamon rolls, an array of stacked cookies and chocolate-chunked brownies, buns and a clique of other devastatingly beautiful pastries and doughs. Shelves encompassing the store accommodated sourdoughs, whole wheats, ciabattas, baguettes, paninis, ryes… individually wrapped in some sort of cellophane material, accompanied by a little red ribbon holding it in place. A freshly polished glass casing lined the centre of the back cherry-red wall, occupied by several fresh pies – cherry, blackberry, peach, pumpkin, apple – each one satisfyingly golden and crisp. Pies were always Maxine’s favourites to make; she enjoyed watching them bake, fruit bubbling, seeping through the flawlessly measured lattice on top, eventually settling, leaving a dye of colour around the pastry. Below the array of pie, still filling the casing, lay angelic looking, soft to the touch, heavenly tasting cakes (two teared with a generous layer of butter icing between tears and coating the top of the exterior): Victoria sponge, triple chocolate, red velvet (the greatest creation in the whole world in the eyes of Max) and coffee and walnut. Depending on which she believed would suit best to each specific cake, Max had dusted them with either silver or gold edible glitter – very lightly as if it was from a fairy. The interior of the bakery also looked as though Maxine had waved a magic wand over it: everything was pristine, perfect. The magnolia walls hung paintings of all sorts of baked goods – paintings her best friend had created for her throughout their friendship ready to store in the bakery she always dreamed of, and so she had kept every single one from over the years for this exact purpose. Crimson, cursive LED lights hung above the checkout counter read ‘welcome’ to match the single red wall hosting the pies and cakes. Earlier in the week, Maxine had purchased two small, rounded, metal tables with shiny, metal, basket-like chairs for customers to eat-in. A few cans of red spray paint and an afternoon of DIY later, she had a small seating area to compliment the red theme that she had been going for. And of course, weaved around the legs of the tables and chairs, and among the sides of the checkout counter were fairy lights.

She was finishing writing products and prices on the colossal chalk board that had earlier been fused to the wall, when a faint but familiar knock presented itself at the door. Behind it: her best friend with a face full of excitement. This was the first time that she had let Wrenn see the bakery; the finished result. She wanted it to be perfect before she let anybody else see, not even her best friend, and now it was.

“Holy shit,” Wrenn gasped as she bounced inside of the store, encouraging her roommate to move to the side. “You did it, like actually. God, it’s just how you described it when we were younger.”

She’s looking around now, spinning in circles, her eyes fixing onto all the different views of the room, occasionally humming with agreement. She giggled at the sight of the fairy-lights knowing that Maxine could not and would not resist incorporating them into the design somehow. Amused, she paced around, letting her eyes bring in all of it.

Then she paused, frozen, glaring up at the paintings on the magnolia walls. She was silent for a moment (which was an unheard-of event for ‘Miss talks-a lot’), as she processed the familiar artwork that lay before her eyes. Wrenn herself broke the silence after gathering her thoughts with a near whisper, “You kept them? ALL of them?”

“Of course I did.” Maxine chuckled in reply, gently caressing the signature, Wrenn’s signature, at the edge of one of the canvases with a chocolate cupcake painted onto it.

“I said I would put them in my bakery, so I have. Besides, I think they bring the whole look together, you know?”

After few soft smiles were exchanged between the pair, Maxine found herself being tackled into a bear-hug, both girls still giggling like teenagers at a sleepover.

“I am really, really, really proud of you Maxie.”

“You are?”

“I am.”

It was starting to get darker earlier, October in the UK and all, and colder too. The bitter air bit at the girls sharp forcing Max to wrap her wine-red scarf around her, covering her nose and mouth. She was aware that it would be a late finish and a cold evening, so she had worn her black trench coat too. Maxine had never really minded the cold weather because she argued that one could always layer up to stay warm or drink a hot drink or tuck yourself in bed, and instead hated the summer. Wrenn always gave the opposing argument that summer in the UK was pathetic: it was barely hot, rained a lot and only lasted a few weeks.

“You’ll love summer abroad. We could go to Spain! Or Los Angeles! Or Portugal!” She’d say.

“We could lay in the sun and get tans and drink martinis.” She’d say.

“We can cool off in the pool and wear our bikinis all of the time.” She’d say.

But Max did not want to go to Spain or Los Angeles or Portugal. She did not want to lay in the sun. She did not want to drink martinis. She did not want to cool off in the pool. She did not want to wear her bikini all the time. And she certainly did not want the summer, though she agreed with her because that’s what friends do. However, she’d rather be curled up by a fireplace with a blanket and a book, some fairy-lights and candles glowing, a coffee, and rain splatting the window: undisturbed. That was what she wanted.

They had been strolling back in the direction their apartment for a while discussing their plans for the rest of the evening. Eventually, the two decided that they’ll stop at the coffee house that resides just beside their apartment block and then they’ll order a pizza and watch a movie to end their day. ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ was their final decision for the movie after a pointless debate on what to watch – this settled right in the middle of their choices: romance and comedy. Perfect – it was also one of Maxine’s favourites, so she felt as though she had still won regarding deciding the film.

‘LIVE LOUNGE COFFEE’ was quite vintage, classical from the outside. The exterior was a deep brown with vines growing along the wood like veins. It seemed quite tiny, secluded and still from the outside. It seemed untouched. Why had it taken them both so long to investigate this coffee house? Maxine especially had become dependent on caffeine, so why has she not visited the coffee house that is quite literally attached to her apartment? In a way, it never really crossed her mind; she hadn’t even fathomed that there was a coffee house attached to her apartment until Wrenn’s mentioning of it on their walk home. Better late then never though, she thought.

Wrenn pushed the door open into the shop, which was rather heavy so this must have been an old shop as they figured, and stepped in, Maxine close behind. She was taken by surprise – this is not what she had thought the interior would look like: it was so… modern; unique? Sofas of mix and matched colours and sizes and an additional similar array of armchairs consumed a lot of the interior. Bar stools and taller tables were dotted around two large speakers which outlined a stage-like area towards the back right hand side of the room. Nothing matched except the walls which were all white, however they were plastered in a series of different quotes and posters. Max was a perfectionist: everything she ever worked on was thought about so particularly for it to be perfect. She needed that control. This was nothing like that. This was unorganised and randomised… so why did she like it?

“Hmm, comfy,” she whispered under her breath as she untangled herself from her scarf, to which her friend turned to her with a facial expression of a mix of surprise and satisfaction.

“Coffee, a beverage that smells like fresh ground heaven,” Maxine read from one of the quotes on the wall to her left. “Amen to that.” Her eyes took one last stroll around the interior of the coffee house until they locked with an unfamiliar pair across the counter. She’d been so caught up with the interior that she hadn’t realised how empty it was, except this pair of forest-brown eyes connected to hers.

“Good evening. How are you?” spoke a soft voice – a soft voice that she did not recognise as her own, nor her best friend’s. A beautiful voice. An angelic voice. A calm voice. It was like music to her ears: blissful and sweet, but soft like feathers.

She realised she was still maintaining eye contact with this person’s exquisite set of russet eyes, and she felt herself burning up, turning red. She swallowed and quickly looked down at her feet. ‘What the fuck is happening?’ she thought to herself. Taking a slow and quiet deep breath Max repositioned her eyes once more, desperate to see the owner of the eyes she had connected with. Her muscles tensed and her breathing fastened. Her once blistery cold skin was now forming beads of sweat as she warmed up against her coat.

She started at the bottom so she could avoid the trance those eyes put her in. They wore a clearly loved pair of Doc Marten boots (she could tell from the frays and the scratches that consumed them), shiny and laced all the way to the top of the ankle. They connected to a pair of black jeans pulled over a long pair of legs. Her eyes glided up to their hips, flawlessly curved, falling into a petite waist shaped by a small apron pulled around it and tied with a bow. Her breathing heavied again, falling irregular now. After a moment of trying to collect herself, she continued her eyes on their journey up, analysing this stranger. One of their hands sat dominantly on their waist while the other was twirling the end of one of two long, midnight black braids, which reached just above it. There was a smooth, shiny coat of amethyst purple painted across their nails without a single chip and each of their fingers had a ring, some even having multiple, except for their thumbs and their wedding finger which remained empty. Each ring was a different colour, shape, style to the last – they were mix-matched like the furniture; Maxine shocking liked it, like the furniture. Her eyes were fixed for a second, until eventually continuing their investigation to their arms and shoulder, which were covered by the cotton sleaves of their black long-sleeved t-shirt. Around their neck dangled one singular silver necklace connected to a small charm of the initial ‘V’, which hung in the centre of their chest. Her eyes continued searching, flowing up their goosebump-covered neck. Was she cold? Was she nervous? Max was nervous. Three silver hooped earrings were situated in each lobe and an industrial bar, also silver, positioned itself diagonally at the top of their left ear. Wrenn and Max always debated silver or gold jewellery and she was always team silver; she assumed they were too. Her eyes proceeded to progress down their jawline, to their lips, which were coated in a thin layer of clear lip-gloss, smiling a toothless smile in her direction. Their lips were so full, especially the bottom one – perfectly plump and a rich rose shade. Their lips were flawless, so her eyes fixed onto them longer. Her hands stated to grow sweaty now, and she could feel her skin turning a raspberry shade of red again. Slowly, she inhaled another silent breath hoping to slow her racing heart or at least somewhat cool her down as she started at their lips. Eventually, she pulled her eyes up once again, resuming their travel to a nose ring – also a silver hoop (assuming to match with the lobe hoops) though it is thinner and smaller. Circling around the eyes she once connected with to avoid it happening again, they analysed the arch in their eyebrows, the perfect shape and the bar of jewellery that ran through the one on the right-hand side. Eyebrow piercing? Hot. Those luscious set of brown eyes caught her attention once more and again she was completely monopolised by them. Her breathing was out of control this time and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Why does this keep happening? She began to get flustered. Her coat was becoming a real issue – it was too hot in here. It was almost like she was out of her own body, like she had no control. She was captivated by those eyes. She inhaled one more time and led her eyes down the long wing of eyeliner running down their face and finally closed her eyes.

“Fine, thanks. How are you?” a voice answered. It wasn’t her voice. It continued, “Wait, are you guys open?” Once she finally had her breath back, Max opened her eyes to look at her friend, who was smiling softly at the stranger behind the counter with the capturing eyes.

“Yeah of course. What can I get you?” the stranger’s soft, feathery voice spoke again.

“A green tea, please and…” she turned to look at Maxine, who had not digested any of the words that had been spoken since they entered the coffee house. She flinched, snapping out of her thoughts.

“Hmm?” she mumbled to Wrenn.

“What do you want to order?” she questioned, nodding her head towards the stranger behind the counter.

“Oh, erm. A coffee, black,” she spoke under her breath, almost a whisper. Wrenn was looking at her again now but with an expression that she wasn’t familiar with. She broke eye contact and returned her eyes to her feet. She felt fidgety, pressing on the skin around her fingernails behind her back.

“Do you want some sugar with that, darling?” the feathery, angel voice sung out once more. Max froze, her eyes still fixed onto her Mary Jane black heels. Shit, do I want sugar? No.

“Erm, yes please.” She answered.

Shit.

“How many?”

None.

“Just one please.”

What the fuck.

The only sound in the room now was the stranger making the girls’ drinks, Maxine’s heavy breaths and pounding heart, although she hoped she was the only one that could hear those last two things.

After a couple of silent minutes, the stranger comes over with the drinks and hands them to the girls, reinforcing the uncomfortable eye contact that Maxine so desperately avoided, yet so desperately craved.

“Here you are,” she smiled as she handed Wrenn her tea, followed by, “there you go, sweetie.”

What the fuck.

Maxine nodded, still maintaining eye contact, however her breathing was becoming more regular now. She still felt like melting on the spot, but she was calmer and so now she just admired the face that she had analysed a few short minutes ago.

“Pretty quiet night for you I’m guessing,” Wrenn voiced.

The stranger hummed in agreement, and Max wasn’t the one to break the fixed eyes this time. The stranger let out a gentle chuckle. “Yeah, I suppose we don’t get many caffeine hungry people this time of night. They won’t sleep.”

“Yeah, I suppose you’re right.”

Back at their apartment, Maxine released a slice of pepperoni pizza from her grip, flopping it back into the greasy inside of the box she had previously taken it out of. She thought that after having all but a croissant today would mean that she would have devoured more than two slices, however her mind was running and therefore her appetite was pretty low. Usually, she would be irritatingly reciting the script of the movie playing in front of her, however today it was merely background noise to her seamless thoughts. In a loop, her mind projected images of those piercing eyes from the coffee house, then to those lips; to the hands and then the waist; to each of the piercings; circulating back to those poisoning eyes – a never ending cycle. But why, why was this happening? Did she really care that much? Did she even care at all? Why would she care? She doesn’t care. Why is she so fixed to this?

An elbow interacted with her hip, sharp but not painful.

“Right, what’s wrong?” Wrenn said looking to her. “You’ve been radio silent since we got in.” It’s true, she had been, though she hadn’t realised; her mind had been on the loudest volume distracting her from noticing.

“Nothing,” she began, “Well, I don’t know. Maybe I’m just tired.”

“Right okay…” her friend spoke, holding onto the tune of the last word, followed by a short hum of thought. “So, I take it that this has something to do with what happened downstairs?” And she could read her like a book, apparently. Maxine didn’t even bother to deny her behaviour – her friend saw right through her, and she knew that from the second she asked what was wrong.

“How bad was it? God, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

“I mean, you were bright red, fidgety and protruding Darth Vader breaths when she called you ‘darling’ so…” Wrenn went quiet, trying to decide carefully her next words to not stress Maxine out any further. She did eventually chime back up, “I don’t think she noticed though, maybe I just did because I know you so well. It wasn’t so bad. Actually, I think it’s rather sweet.”

That did not offer Max any clarity whatsoever. She swallowed down the last of her coffee and nodded in agreement, though Wrenn knew she wasn’t convinced.

// Hello, yes, here's the mentioned shippy drabble I wrote about two OC's set in the late 70s.

Is this purely for myself???....yes. I'm posting it anyways.

Her eyes were drawn to the glint of the coin in the dim light, watching as it flipped effortlessly through the air, blurring into a silver orb as it twirled. The quarter clattered against the bar top, bouncing unsteadily onto it’s edge where it wobbled and spun before finally falling over and settling to a full stop.

“Heads. Fuck!” George Washington’s expressionless face stared off into nothingness as Maggie let out a frustrated groan.

“Holy shit.” Eric murmured, his usual dry monotone tinged with the faintest hint of genuine surprise and enthusiasm. “I won? I never win.”

“We can flip it again.” Maggie offered. “Yeah? Best two outta three?”

“Oh, no. No, no.” Eric’s smirk stretched out into a full blown smile as he picked up the coin, tapping it against the hardwood of the countertop and slowly backed his way towards the jukebox. “The rules are clear. Winner gets jukebox rights for the rest of the shift.”

Maggie cringed. “At least pick something good.”

The only thing close to a reply that came from Eric was the sound of the quarter dropping into the metallic slot on the front of the jukebox. Maggie sighed, frowning in anticipation while watching Eric press a few different buttons, getting his money's worth of music. The jukebox whirred to life, dropping the first 45 onto the spindle.

Buddy Holly began to play, eliciting another exaggerated moan of anguish from his coworker.

“Mate, you’re killin’ me with the grandpa music.”

The duo were opposites in every sense of the word. Maggie, a fish out of water, was stranded a long ways away from her native England. That in itself was enough to make her an oddity in this backwater Louisianan town, but her chopped and dyed hair and DIY clothes, all ripped and torn and sewn and safety pinned, made damn sure that she stood out amongst the locals more so than she ever did back in West London.

Eric was a veteran, a draftee of ‘nam. He never talked much about it, and Maggie never really pried, but she’d gleamed enough to know it was a bad time for him. Real bad. Not that you’d ever know it to look at the guy. His dry, sardonic voice...the little grin tugging at the side of his mouth as he swept the bar floor and grooved along to the music he knew she couldn’t stand...he seemed normal, well adjusted. He was the exact kind of square that Maggie and her friends would snark about in her old life.

‘Funny how that works out?’ Maggie mused to herself, absently polishing the last of the glasses, stacking them up in rows of five behind the bar. ‘Anywhere else, any other time or place on the face of the earth, and we’d never even give one another the time of day.’

She glanced up in time to see Eric twirl the broom around playfully as he began sweeping between the opposite row of tables.

‘Well...I wouldn’t, at least.’ she continued the thought. ‘Eric’s too much of a puppy.”

“What?”

Maggie jumped, Eric’s voice jolting her from her little daydream. Part of her worried she had accidentally uttered the quiet part loud, but the truth was only slightly less mortifying. Eric had caught her staring at him.

“You.” she covered, not missing a beat. “Just watching the show. They teach you those moves in boot camp, soldier boy?”

It was enough to earn a laugh from the young man. “Oh, yeah. First week in basic...how to cut a rug.”

“Too bad your taste in music is shite.” she teased, still somewhat sore over losing the wager. One of the positives about closing the bar alone was having full control over the music. She’d managed to sneak a few records from her personal collection into the machine, and while she’d been able open up Eric’s mind to the new punk sound, he still had a habit of playing tunes that hadn’t been considered cool in well over a decade. She missed nights of endless Sex Pistols, The Damned, and the Stooges.

The song came to an end, the jukebox whirred to life as it switched out the vinyl for the next song. Eric shrugged and set the broom aside.

“You don’t like my music, you don’t like my moves. I just can’t win, can I?” he replied, playfully pouting. “Make you a deal, though. You do me this one little favor and I’ll unplug the jukebox, reset it, let you play what you want for the rest of the night.”

“Mmmh, tempting. What’s the catch?” Maggie asked, arms folded atop the polished countertop as she leaned forward, like she was about to hear some juicy secret. The needle dropped inside the machine, the opening strains of “You’ve Really got a Hold on Me” by Smokey Robinson began to play from the speakers.

“Dance with me?” Eric asked, as casual as can be while threading a hand through his shaggy mop of blonde hair.

Maggie the sarcastic, tough, caustic, young woman that she was hadn’t expected to be caught so off guard by the bluntness of the request. Her face went a faint shade of red, which she tried to hide by tossing up her hands and (accidentally) letting out the most undignified snort/laugh/squeal that either of them had ever heard.

“Are you takin’ the piss?” she asked, all while Eric smirked and began to dance along to the song. Maggie shook her head, trying her damnedest to appear unaffected, which wasn’t doing much to convince either of them. “You must be. You’ve lost it, man.”

Eric didn’t respond, instead he kept dancing, picking up his broom to use once again as a stand in for a dance partner. He moved to the beat...even began to sing along to it while playfully motioning to Maggie to join him.

‘ I don't like you, but I love you...’

“Oh, no. Now the singing. I can’t believe this.”

‘Seems that I'm always thinking of you.’

“Eric, seriously, I’m weighing the pros and cons of committing arson right now.”

“Oh, oh, oh, you treat me badly...”

“Ugh, ALRIGHT fine!” She huffed, slapping her hands against the counter, just barely hiding her own bemused smile. Maggie stepped out from behind the bar, dragging her feet while making her way over to the taller man. “...but I get to play what I want for the rest of our shift.”

“Hey, that was the deal, right?” Eric replied, dropping the broom, and offering his hand to the punk rocker. She hesitated, suddenly feeling quite shy. Eric was a friend, about the only one she had since ending up here in Sunny Hollow...he was always kind to her, despite her sarcasm and barbs aimed at his insufferable, loud mouthed brother. He was just goofing around, nothing more...right? No, she wasn’t reading too much into this.

So then why the hell was her heart pounding so hard as she took his hand?  Where was her wit and venom as he gently pulled her closer to his chest and began to slow dance with her? Just like that, her defenses were gone.

Whatever concerns she had about getting back home, about this strange little town, about where exactly her and Eric stood had melted away. Right now all that mattered was the moment. An arm slid around the soldier’s waist, her cheek resting against his chest, letting Eric lead them as the song continued to play. 

It wasn’t a very long song, unfortunately, already more than half over by the time she had finally agreed to the dance. Just as it ended she felt him begin to pull away, no doubt to keep up his end of the promise.

“Ok, Mags...I guess I made you suffer enough. I’ll go unplu-”

Maggie tightened her embrace, keeping him from breaking away just yet. Puzzled, Eric peered down at Maggie who met his gaze.

“One more?” she asked. “Your taste isn’t that bad.”

Hey, let’s talk about aesthetics

(Written for a school newspaper)

To the readers of the Chariot,

In case you haven’t gone outside recently, surprise, it’s cold. I know, shocker. This- I’d hope- would inspire a change in aesthetics for some. For the purposes of this article, aesthetics are to be defined by a certain look, mood, or vibe. This means it applies to clothes, accessories, and anything else that can be decorated, modified, or chosen specifically. This also means that any and all adults most likely stopped reading the second they saw the word “vibe.” For those that stuck around, I’m not sorry, this isn’t for you, and very little of this will make sense. That being said, let’s talk about some killer fall/winter aesthetics. 

First on the list, inspired by my recent love of sweaters, is Academia as a whole. Academia, as a descriptor, is defined by being related to college or further scholarship. Academia, as an aesthetic, is defined by little london boy being sent to private school, among many other things. We’ll begin with the fit, see here at least two layers, usually a sweater over a button down. Color tones are usually browns in combination with darker shades. Jewelry, specifically in shades of gray, is always appreciated, and books of some kind are necessary. The aesthetic is versaille, ranging from scruffy rebel still forced to wear the uniform, to loner art kid with fingertips stained with charcoal/graphite, to preppy charismatic leader who may or may not be the villain of the story.

Next off is Halloween! It’s Halloween season and I refuse to admit anything otherwise. My friend you need black, you need orange, you need purple. Mon amie you’re gonna need some fake blood and an absurd amount of makeup. No I don’t care that it’s September, it’s Halloween season. Wear those fake teeth! Those black cat thigh highs are necessary! That witch hat headband does not violate the dress code! (it very well actually might, and I hereby deny any and all responsibility that comes from the making of this statement) It is spooky season and I will not shut up about it, we diehard fans of Halloween are the only thing that stops Christmas from encroaching even further. You cower behind our DIY costumes, as we collectively confront the horde of snowmen. We and our “needless obsession for spirit Halloween” make up the STALWART SHIELD PROTECTING YOU NON-BELIEVERS FROM THE JOLLY RED MAN AND HIS HORDE OF ELVES. WE WILL NOT STAND DOWN, WE WILL NOT SHUT UP, WE WILL DEFEND THE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT, BOTH THE AESTHETIC, THE SPECTER, AND THE POP-UP STORE! Ahem…

I got really excited about the first two, as they are my favorites. Not nearly as much detail will be given for the rest, but y’all have instagram and TikTok, It’s not as if they’re hard to find. Starting off with Goblin-core, meaning greens and browns and ratty clothing. Congratulations, your compulsion to grab random things that you personally think are cool can now be spun as “dedication to the aesthetic.” There’s grunge, needing a band tshirt, a flannel, and jeans. Next up is goth, all black, all the silver, all the time. May I introduce to you corvid-core: goblin core in random items, but all black and well put together in clothing. Also on the list is cryptid-core, because mothman is cool and everyone needs to appreciate that. Everyone also needs to appreciate simple eye imagery and all sorts of other cryptids. Just for the men, it’s “straight?” where the fit is fire, you’re wearing jewelry/nail polish, and you look too good for people to fully believe that you’re hetero. For those looking to achieve this look, ask your girlfriend for advice on what to wear. For those who are rather decidedly not straight, try queer-core, where anything and everything works, so long as it looks amazing and is a little bit weird. Under this aesthetic falls different colored makeup, mashups of other styles, and subtly/not so subtly incorporating the colors of whatever your current identity is. You’re valid and I love your earrings. 

Fair warning, looking up these different aesthetics can and will push your algorithm into wanting to give you more ideas. This article is mostly just meant to start your journey into all that, there’s so much more to find outside of this specific instance. If we’re looking for more ideas still, here’s just the names of some more aesthics: cabincore, adventurecore, cottagecore, skatewear, Victorian, glitchcore, fallwear, pink goth, white goth, ska, androgynous, steampunk, cyberpunk, biker, pastel core, carnivalcore, casinocore, fairycore, femfatalle, feral, emo, indie, punk, and electroswing. There are still so many more I’ve yet to mention. What this means is that you have no excuse to just wear a sweatshirt and basketball shorts. Please, I’m begging you, no more basketball shorts, enough is enough, you’re giving high school boys a bad name. They’ve already ruined their image, you don’t need to add to that. Regardless of what you wear or what aesthetic you ascribe to, be confident in yourself. You deserve it. Last but not least, don’t forget that WE ARE THE ONLY THING PROTECTING YOU FROM THOSE BELLS JING-A-LINGING, AND WE WILL DIE BEFORE THAT COOKIE EATER SHOWS HIS SORRY FACE BEFORE OCTOBER. 

-Sincerely, Blue

Enhance Your Art with a Custom Canvas Frame

A canvas frame is more than just a border for your artwork; it’s an essential element that can elevate the aesthetic appeal of any painting, photograph, or print. Whether you’re an artist looking to present your work in the best light or a homeowner wanting to add a touch of elegance to your interior décor, a well-chosen canvas frame can make all the difference.

The Importance of Framing

Framing is often considered the final step in the artistic process, transforming a simple canvas into a polished piece of art. A good frame not only protects the edges of the canvas but also complements the artwork, bringing out the colors, textures, and overall composition. Without a frame, a canvas can appear unfinished, and the viewer’s eye may not be as naturally drawn to the focal points of the piece.

Types of Canvas Frames

Canvas frames come in a variety of styles, materials, and finishes, each offering a different look and feel. Here are some popular options:

Floating Frames: These frames create the illusion that the canvas is floating within the frame, leaving a small gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame itself. This modern and minimalist option is ideal for contemporary artworks and photographs.

Gallery Frames: These are more traditional frames that enclose the entire canvas, often with a matting around the edges. Gallery frames are versatile and can be used for a wide range of art styles, from classic to modern.

Ornate Frames: For a touch of luxury, ornate frames with intricate designs and gold or silver finishes can add a dramatic effect to your artwork. These frames are perfect for classic paintings or portraits.

Wooden Frames: Natural wooden frames offer a timeless look that can suit various art styles. Whether you choose a light wood for a Scandinavian feel or a dark wood for a more traditional look, wooden frames are a versatile choice.

Metal Frames: Sleek and modern, metal frames are often used for contemporary art. They come in various finishes, including brushed aluminum, black, and gold, providing a clean, polished look.

Choosing the Right Frame for Your Canvas

When selecting a canvas frame, it’s essential to consider the artwork itself. The frame should complement, not overpower, the piece. For example, a simple black or white floating frame works well with bold, colorful modern art, while a richly detailed, gold ornate frame might be better suited for a classical oil painting.

The size of the frame is also crucial. It should be proportionate to the canvas, neither too small to be barely noticeable nor too large to overshadow the artwork. In addition, consider the depth of the frame, as thicker canvases may require deeper frames to ensure a snug fit.

DIY Framing vs. Professional Framing

While DIY framing kits are available and can be a cost-effective option, they may not offer the same quality and durability as professional framing services. A professional framer can help you choose the best frame for your artwork and ensure that it is properly mounted and protected. They can also offer custom framing options, allowing you to select specific materials, finishes, and even the type of glass to cover your canvas.

The Impact of a Canvas Frame

A well-chosen Canvas Printing can transform your artwork, giving it a finished, professional appearance that enhances its value. Whether you’re framing a beloved family photo, a piece of art you’ve created, or a print of your favorite painting, the right frame can make all the difference in how the piece is perceived and enjoyed.

DIY: How to Make Your Own Silver Bangles at Home

Silver bangles for women are timeless accessories that add a touch of elegance to any outfit. Whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or adding a bit of shine to your everyday wear, silver bangles can elevate your style. But have you ever thought about making your own? Creating your own silver bangles at home can be a fun and rewarding experience. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you craft beautiful silver bangles for women right from the comfort of your home.

Materials You'll Need

Before you start, gather the following materials:

Silver wire (preferably 18-20 gauge)

Jewelry pliers (round-nose, flat-nose, and wire cutters)

Mandrel or cylindrical object (like a can or a dowel) to shape the bangle

Soldering kit (optional, for a more professional finish)

Hammer and bench block (for texturing)

Polishing cloth

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Measure and Cut the Silver Wire

First, decide on the size of your bangle. Use a measuring tape to measure the circumference of your wrist and add about an inch for a comfortable fit. Cut the silver wire to the desired length using wire cutters.

2. Shape the Wire

Wrap the silver wire around your mandrel or cylindrical object to form a circular shape. Use your fingers and pliers to ensure the ends meet neatly.

3. Secure the Ends

If you have a soldering kit, use it to solder the ends of the wire together for a seamless finish. If you don’t have a soldering kit, you can use jewelry glue to secure the ends. Alternatively, you can create a hook and loop closure by forming a small loop on one end of the wire and a hook on the other end.

4. Hammer and Texture

Place the bangle on a bench block and gently hammer it to add texture. This step is optional but can add a unique, handmade touch to your silver bangle. Use a ball-peen hammer for a classic hammered look or experiment with different textures.

5. Polish the Bangle

Once your bangle is shaped and textured, use a polishing cloth to buff the surface. This will give your silver bangle a beautiful shine. Make sure to polish all surfaces, including the edges and any textured areas.

6. Add Personal Touches

Personalize your silver bangle by adding charms, beads, or engraving a special message. You can use jump rings to attach charms or beads. For engraving, use a metal stamping kit to add initials, dates, or designs.

Tips for Success

Practice Makes Perfect: If you're new to jewelry making, practice with less expensive wire before working with silver.

Safety First: Always work in a well-ventilated area and use safety equipment, especially when soldering.

Experiment: Don’t be afraid to try different techniques and designs. The more you experiment, the more unique your creations will be.

Conclusion

Creating your own silver bangles for women at home is not only a fun and creative hobby but also a way to design personalized jewelry that perfectly suits your style. With a few basic materials and tools, you can craft beautiful bangles that will be cherished for years to come. So why not give it a try and start making your own silver bangles today?
