Affordable Valentine's Day Date Ideas 💝

Go out for a picnic: there’s nothing more romantic than a well thought out picnic. You can spice it up by having some games planned out. This can be a great way to get to know each other with some good food and decadent drinks while enjoying all the beauty that nature has to offer. And the best thing I love about this idea is that it’s very low effort, but it can look really romantic like it…

✨WEEKLY TAG WEDNESDAY✨

Thank you @energievie for the fun game. And @creepkinginc for the tag.

A little game for you today: imagine you're friends with both Ian and Mickey (I'm talking hanging out at their apartment, going out for drinks, the whole nine yards). Which one of them would you take with you for the following activities and why? No cheating 😅 Only of them because I promise you the other won't get upset.

But first...

Name: Jess

Age: A Nosho and a half

Location: Toronto, Canada

And now, for the activities:

Fishing: Mickey - 'Cause neither of us would give a fuck and would just skip to the drinking-on-a-boat part

Rom-com marathon in the park: Ian! Omg we'd get snacks and cuddle under a blanket and both identify with the awkward leading actor who can't play it cool and gossip about Mickey.

Clubbing: definitely Ian - I'm with Evie here. He'd be so much fun and great to look at.

Wine tasting: Mickey. Oh heck yes. We'd start out pretending to be serious. Swilling and sniffing and describing the tasting notes as 'fruity as all fuck' and 'I'm not fuckin' gay enough to drink wine that sweet' and then drink all the wine 'til we were giggling and facetiming Ian from the back of the wine tour mini bus.

Escape room: Mickey - I'm stealing Evie's answer here cause 1000% this: I mean, the guy escaped prison, a simple room would be no match for him.

A day at the spa: Ohhh this is a tough one 'cause both. But I guess I'll choose Mickey 'cause it'd be funny as fuck watching his reactions as they explain everything to him and you know he'd love a good pampering

Office Christmas party: Mickey - We both say inappropriate things but would make it fun so people would forgive us and just come sneak drinks with us from the bar.

Darts competition: Mickey. You know he'd be proficient at bar sports. He was playing darts and shooting guns before he was 10

Treasure hunt: Ian - Mickey would get frustrated and give up. Ian would work through the clues meticulously and be ultra-competitive.

Assembling IKEA furniture: Ian - Mickey would def not have the patience for this but Nosho's answer was funnier. And real.

₊˚ෆ stella’s relationship with daisy !

━━━ ❛ if you go I’m goin’ too, cause it was always you

ꪆ୧ BASICS !

when did they meet Stella(7) and Daisy(8) met at a figure skating competition in Toronto, Canada , they didn't talk to each other , both of them being too shy. They first talked when they ran into each other at Luke's hockey game that was held at the same rink on the same day. Additionally, David – Daisy’s twin brother – played against Luke’s team often, which often led to the Ahns and the Hughes’ often running into one another.

their first impressions of each other:

to say daisy was impressed (and a little intimidated) by stella’s skills was an understatement. though daisy was never a shy child, watching stella perform before definitely made her a little nervous to perform. but by the time they went to dinner with the hughes, daisy made it a note to speak to her – complimenting stella on her amazing performance.

Stella was in awe as she watched daisy skate, it was obvious that she was very talented and loved the sport. Stella really wanted to become friends with her since she struggled making friends with the other girls. They finally got the chance to speak to each other when their families went out to dinner – and the girls immediately clicked!

favorite memory they have of each other

Stella’s favorite memory of her and daisy, is when the young girls had to go out of state for a figure skating competition with their moms and they decided to let the two girls share their own hotel room (they were next door and there was a connecting door to the rooms – but still the idea of them having their own room was exciting to them) they stayed up way to late eating sweets, listening to music that turned into a playful dance battle, and doing the silly quizzes in the magazines. They ended up falling asleep in the same bed as they watched mamma mia.

Daisy’s favourite memory between her and Stella has got to be the first time Daisy stayed with Stella and her family in Michigan for the summer. The pair of them naturally had to share a room — being the only two girls — spending the entire summer together. Though Daisy was incredibly homesick — due to it being her first time away from her entire family for a long period of time — being around Stella made it easier, as the pair of them did activities like swimming together and curling up on the sofa watching their favourite movies. Daisy had brought her little spa/makeup kit, and the duo spent an entire afternoon giving each other (and Stella’s brothers) makeovers.

They have been to many kpop concerts; ateez, txt, enhypen, twice and aespa

They went to coachella 2023 and 2024 

stella was one of the first people to help daisy with her english; daisy teaching her korean in return

whenever their families go on trips together, stella and daisy always insist on sitting/rooming together.

once on a plane ride, they were seated in front of each other instead of beside, so they passed notes between the cracks of the seats.

daisy often features stella on her videos on youtube and vice versa, the pair of them often vlogging their little dates together 

on stella’s 18th birthday, daisy gifted stella an expensive bracelet with a heartfelt card – getting herself one of her own so they’d match. it’s one of the only pieces of jewelry daisy wears every day. 

fights between the pair are few and far between, though if they end up having a more serious argument, it doesn’t take long for them to make amends.

given how long they’ve known each other, daisy and stella know each other like the backs of their hands. they often tell each other things they don’t even tell their siblings – who of which they’re both close to. 

daisy was one of the first people to know about stella and rutger’s relationship, and in turn, daisy told stella about luke and ethan as soon as it happened.

with this, daisy was also one of the first to know about her impromptu departure to seoul, following stella and luke’s argument.

stella is the one who got daisy to be a little more extroverted in university.

daisy used to have a crush on stella’s brother jack, while stella still has a crush on daisies older brother jihoon 

they often tease each other about this

You're My Favourite

Pairing: Auston Matthews x Reader

Summary: A visit to your family goes wrong when Auston meets your Aunt

Word Count: 1451

Warnings: Family drama and fat comments

Request: From Anon Can you please write me an angsty imagine with Auston Matthews! Have such a thing for that man 🫣

A/N: I don't know if this is truly angsty but I'm quite happy with this. Sorry if it isn't what you wanted

THE MASTERLIST JOIN THE TAGLIST HOCKEY DISCORD

Today was the day Auston was meeting your family. It happened to be your mum’s birthday and she was having a family dinner. Auston had already met her and your half siblings, but he was yet to meet your aunt and nana.  The pair had travelled to come visit for her birthday. Something you weren’t looking forward to. Well not your grandmother because you love her. Just your aunt.

She was known in your family for favouring your oldest sister. Everyone knew it; all your siblings, your mother, your nana. Even your closest friends. Your sister was the daughter she never had yet you couldn’t make her proud… Despite being a world champion in your own sport. She on the other hand was an academic turned personal trainer. She is married now with a kid, your niece Chloe. One that your aunt adored as well. 

You and Auston pulled up to your childhood home in the outskirts of Toronto. It was a quiet area that you enjoyed growing up in. By the amount of cars in the yard, you two were the last to arrive. Auston grabbed out your container of homemade brownies plus the birthday present before the pair of you made your way inside. 

“Mum!”

A variety of footsteps were heard. Included the pitter patter of your niece. The 4 year old rounded the corner, running straight at the two of you. “Uncle Auston!”

The man besides you laughs as he lifts up Chloe into his arms. She was quick to wrap her arms around him, starting to tell him about her first few weeks at school. Your mum hugged you first while Auston was busy with your niece.

“Happy birthday Mum.”

“Thank you baby,” Mum smiled, “I’m glad you and Aus could make it. I’ve missed you both.”

Auston passed Chloe to you before getting a hug from your mum as well. They had been close over the years of your relationship with the hockey player. He loved being close to your family, coming over for dinner whenever the pair of you could. When his schedule allows it that is. 

“Happy birthday,” Auston grins, handing her her birthday present. The pair of you had gotten her a bottle of her favourite perfume bottle and some other bath products. Oh and a voucher for a day at her favourite spa. “I’m looking forward to the pizza for dinner.”

“Well now you two are here we can get started on making them.”

Everyone gathered in the kitchen, around the dining table where the pizza making station had been set up. Both you and Auston greet your siblings and the couple partners. Then your nana walked in. She was your typical grandmother, short, grey hair with a warm smile. One that was always a welcomed sight.

“Hello sweetheart,” Nana smiled. You had to lean down to hug the woman. “How have you been?”

“I’ve been good thanks. Nan, this is my boyfriend, Auston. Aus, this is my Nan, Sue.”

Nana brought Auston straight in for a hug. “It’s lovely to meet the boy who treats my little girl like a princess.” 

Then came your aunt. She stood beside your mum. Just like every other time, she didn’t hug you, no smile. “Hey darl.”

“Hey, this is my boyfriend, Auston.”

She nodded in return. One you got a lot. And one that Auston knew pisses you off. After years of treatment, you were used to it but it still made you mad. Your Aunt’s eyes looked you up and down. The judgy look all too familiar. Her eyes in particular came to stop at your prominent scar running down your abdomen. It was one you were proud of as well. Auston spotted this and was quick to pull you in, hand resting on the scar. He had worked hard to get you to finally think it wasn’t ugly. He wasn’t going to let a judgy family member make you think otherwise.

Without so much as another word, the rest of your family started talking again. Making the pizzas was easy. Auston and yourself agreed on a simple pepperoni pizza. You snuck to the garage to grab yourself and Auston a drink. Well you shotgunned one before grabbing two cans and heading back to the kitchen. 

Whilst waiting on them to cook, everyone sat around the table on the patio. Your Aunt sat beside your eldest sister. Asking her about her life and everything in between. You watched on as no-one asked you about your life.

“How’s training been?” Nan asked you. Someone finally deciding paying your attention.

You explained what’s been going on recently with your sport. Talking about your up and coming competitions. Everyone else was listening but your Aunt. Auston noticed this. Watching how while you talked passionately and excitedly about your passion, your Aunt just scrolled through her phone. He knew this was also the first time in a year that she had seen you. 

Mid sentence she cut you off, directing the attention of everyone to your sister. Auston saw you deflate. Your confidence that he loved is gone before his eyes. He slipped his hand through yours, leaning over to press a kiss to your temple. You leaned into him for comfort. 

“I’ll help you mum,” You spoke up when your mum went to pull out the pizzas.

Auston watched you go back into the kitchen with both your mother and nana. Leaving him with your siblings and your aunt. 

“She’s put on weight, yeah?” Your aunt pointed out, looking at the woman beside her.

Your sister hadn’t ever seen how you were treated. Or never realised. Sure, you had spoken about how she was the favourite. But never had she heard your aunt so blatantly speak like that about you.

“She’s been working hard during her training,” Auston replied. 

Your aunt shrugged, “She’s always been fat.”

He couldn’t believe it. Someone who definitely was classed as obese had the audacity to make a comment about his active, healthy girlfriend. 

“Aunty…” 

“I’m just looking out for her,” Your aunt dismisses. “How is she supposed to keep her superstar boyfriend if she can’t look after herself?”

A pizza was slammed down on the table in front of her making her jump. To Auston’s horror, you had heard her comment. Something that he knew would trigger you. Especially after the issue of all the fan comments you had to contend with mentally. All the hate comments. 

“I just can’t please you, can I?” 

“Oh please, stop complaining.”

Your mum had come out of the kitchen to the sight of you seething off to the side of your aunt. Auston was on the edge of his seat. Everyone else around the table looked uncomfortable. 

“You okay?” Your mum asked you. 

You shook your head, “I’m sick of being the disappointment.”

Without so much as another word, you sniffled and left. Probably to go hide in your old bedroom. Everyone just watched you leave the patio. Auston stood up to follow. Not before turning to your aunt. 

“She’s known she wasn’t the favourite since she was 15. But she still never spoke badly about you. And yet you can’t be nice to save your life.” He looked around at your siblings, all sitting quietly. He knew that you and your oldest sister were the only one blood related to your aunt. Your other siblings were through your sister’s dad’s side. “She puts up with you because of your family and is told to respect her elders. But I won’t let you talk about her like that.”

Auston left everyone outside and followed in your footsteps. He could hear your sniffles from down the hallway. He knocked on your bedroom door. Once he got a quiet come in, he opened the door. Your bedroom was so you. It was the only way he could explain it. You were sitting on your bed,  a pair of airpods you had found in your room in your ears. It was your way of escaping your feelings. 

“Hey,” Auston whispered, pressing a kiss to your forehead before taking a seat beside you. 

You didn’t say anything, only handed him a bud. Your favourite song was playing. Auston pulled you onto his lap, wrapping his arms around you. Letting you snuggle into him for comfort. 

“Thank you.”

Auston chuckles, “How do you know I did anything?”

“I know you Aus,” You mumble, pressing a kiss to his lips. 

“I’ll always be on your side. You’re my favourite and that won’t ever change.”

“What about your mum?” You ask. You know he and Ema are close. 

“She’ll be happy knowing I found the girl I want to marry.”

life update + ramble post 🤗

canada post finally ended their strike (well, were forced to by the federal government...) which means i gotta start working through my huge backlog of etsy orders 📦 i worked 9 hours yesterday, and will probably end up doing the same today. i'm so thankful that 90% of the people who ordered from me during the strike, after i told them about the situation, opted to wait it out rather than take a refund ❤️

i've started learning german! idk why i waited so long. i'm half german, my mom speaks it fluently. i know some things, but the only things my mom taught me as a kid were things she only said in german so other people wouldn't hear.. y'know, so like i know how to say something's a cheap piece of shit, or that someone's an asshole lmao. anyway, i'm learning properly now. my fiance is too! he's actually the one who finally said we should stop talking about doing it someday, and just do it now. so now i can say stuff like, Cooper ist meine katze, der ist schön ❤️

this weekend i've got a hair appointment, lunch with my mom & my uncle's girlfriend, gotta hit the mall for a couple last minute gifts, then we're heading down to my fiance's hometown to celebrate christmas with his family 🎄

christmas eve + day we'll be spending with my parents and seeing my family, then the day after boxing day is my grandma's birthday and she's throwing a big party ❤️ then for new years eve we have our 3 day muskoka trip! ❄️

in january my fiance has to spend a couple days in toronto for work, so he's planning on getting a hotel room for a couple days. he asked if i want to tag along, so i think i might turn it into a mini spa trip for me lol. i found a nice hotel with a spa inside, so i might book myself a massage and idk i'll see what else they offer. lots of fun stuff planned over the next month 🥰

best themeparks to go to for maximum coaster mileage?

If you wanna maximize your coaster time at any park, big parks are usually your best bets. Of parks that I've been to, the ones with a lot of coasters are Cedar Point (17), Carowinds (15), Kings Island (15), Six Flags Great America (16), Six Flags Great Adventure (15), Hersheypark (14) and Kings Dominion (14)

Other parks with big coaster counts that I haven't been to are Six Flags Magic Mountain in California (20), Energylandia in Poland (19), Canada's Wonderland outside Toronto (19), Europa Park in Germany (14), Nagashima Spa Land in Japan (13), so on and so forth.

Really any of these parks you'll be able to ride a ton of coasters at. But some of the bigger ones, like Cedar Point, Magic Mountain, etc. usually work better if you stay there for multiple days rather than trying to cram everything into a single day, bc they can get really busy.

I think the most new coaster credits I've gotten in one day before (ie the most new coasters I'd never before then) was 13 at Kings Island in May of 2019, thanks to a combination of low crowds and pretty much everything running at full capacity.

is the blonde with her back to the camera not megan? the side profile looks like her and she’s the only blonde wag on this team (believe it or not) with extensions (at least more obvious looking ones) which that person clearly has. also, I would assume the leafs flew back to toronto last night, so it’s not totally wild to think she may have gone to toronto sometime yesterday and would see auston after the game. she’s very friendly with some of the wags it’s not totally uncalled for she would hangout with them! she’s gotten dinner with them and such before, and seems to know player’s partners that auston isn’t particularly close with (she has frequently commented on stuff lagesson’s wife has posted) which leads me to believe she’s probably around the wags more than people realize

no, that is not Megan.

yes she has hung out with them at some games, and has had dinner with them before games but she rarely spends time in Toronto without Auston. I can think of one time and she arrived a day before the leafs plane (less than 24 hours prior). She has never been at the watch parties, gone on spa days; been to baby or bachelorette parties the wags have posted. She does see them at the games she goes to, but she often is not around them.

name one interest other than Louis and the upcoming documentary and tour that you’re excited about or following? completely non Louis related. want to get to know my fellow louies better ☺️

ohhh! hmmmm... this is about to be very random hehe

Saturday I'm making a tiramisu for a diner with friends (eating raclette), it's the second time I'm making one and this time I have coffee liquor (last time I didn't so I had to use maple syrup liquor lol #canada)(i've been told you can also use Grand Marnier, fyi). Last time it was super good so I'm really excited to eat it again! Btw everyone says it's 'so easy to make' but they're lyiiing like! it's not hard but it's not banana bread easy!

In March, for my birthday, I'm going to spend the weekend in Montréal with some friends, going to the spa, brunch, café, yaddi yadda and going to see Inhaler! I'm really excited!! Then in September I'm going to see Arctic Monkeys in Montréal and Vancouver (and maybe Toronto)! I'm looking forward to planning some local trips for the summer - as well as my trip to Red Rocks!

As for pop culture stuff, I'm looking forward to Daisy Jones and the Six (tv series on Prime), the new season of Ted Lasso, reading Emily Saint John Mandel's new book.... I haven't kept up with upcoming movies, but whenever that nuclear bomb movie with Cillian Murphy will be out I'll go see it! Also WHEN is the next season of The Witcher coming out I NEED to see more Henry Cavill with long hair. Also random but this week I was reminded that Michael B. Jordan is a very good looking man!!

Finally one of my interests recently has been buying and trying new make up - trying to find the right combo of lipliner and lipstick. And then taking random selfies to show off (to no one) said make up.

Oh also I've been doing Wordle every day for weeks and now doing the Mini crossword too - and let me tell you, doing crosswords in your second language is quite a challenge!

So there you go! :) thanks for the lovely ask! <3

My nephew and I have started sorted through decades worth of boxes and bags of documents and files going back to his paternal grandfather’s time - my sister and BIL were both masters of procrastination so a lot of things that should have been sorted through and discarded before they moved to this house have instead been sitting around unsorted since the move. Technically since well before the move for a lot of it.

This particular item discovered in an old file box of my sister’s brought back memories for me.

The summer of 1985. She’d moved to Toronto some months previously and was renting a room in a house on Bathurst Street, working for a home care service by day and doing laundry at a women’s spa downtown in the evenings. I came down that spring to (in theory) find a summer job, and the two of us would look for an apartment to share, while I attended the Ontario College of Art starting that fall.

(I never did find a job that year, nor did we end up sharing an apartment.)

The 40th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was coming up. Reagan was talking Star Wars (not the movie) and nuclear umbrellas. Brezhnev and Chernenko had died in fairly rapid succession; Gorbachev was just in and already talking about reform iirc. The Berlin Wall had yet to come down. An American warship capable of carrying nuclear missiles was due to visit Toronto’s harbour front. Nuclear disarmament was a big topic.

My sister and I saw something in a free Toronto newspaper about an upcoming protest related to most of the above - the shadow project. The goal: to use chalk paint to mark hundreds of people-shaped “shadows” on streets, sidewalks, and buildings, reminiscent of the images etched into surfaces when the bombs fell. We decided to participate. Everyone was given one of the above cards, marked with our name and providing contact phone numbers and the legal hotline to use if we were arrested.

I remember it mostly as a minorly scary (chance of arrest, ack!) but mostly fun night, spent with a group of other people while we ran around with our little buckets of chalk paint and paint brushes, painting life sized “shadows” every few metres along the stretch we’d been assigned. I think we were on University heading south from Bloor, because I can remember coming up to where the road split to either side of buildings (but it might have been Spadina).

I also joined a protest group that occupied Nathan Phillips Square for a few days; I can remember sitting in circles singing protest songs, sleeping overnight on the grass in the little parkette there with other protesters wrapped in sleeping bags and blankets, going on coffee runs to refill thermos or use publicly available bathrooms in the underground PATH commercial zones nearby (including the very high class ones with perfume dispensers underneath the Hotel York, among very few open at oh-my-fucking-god early in the morning). The dog in the bandana who the police were unsure of what to do with when they arrested his owner (iirc they just picked out a few known faces to take in, most of us were ignored and just sat around and sang some more). I remained involved with the protest movement for several months afterwards, until my college work load got to be too much. Oh, and I was introduced to Bloom County at one of the evening coffee shop meetings, when a member brought in his anthologies (thank you random person for getting me hooked on the adventures of Opus et al).

It was an interesting time to be on that line between teenaged and adulthood.
