Exhilarama

After acquiring Dave & Buster's, Time-Out, and Space Port arcades, Edison Brothers Stores (known for 5-7-9) established the Edison Brothers Mall Entertainment division to expand into the arcade market. Inspired by the 33,000 sq. ft. Time-Out on the Court arcade in Cincinnati's Forest Fair Mall, Exhilarama emerged as a large family entertainment center. It featured a mix of classic and new arcade cabinets, midway games, indoor amusement park rides, Virtuality VR games, redemption counters, and concessions, making it a popular destination for birthday parties.

Originally tested at Crestwood Plaza in St. Louis, the first full-sized Exhilarama opened on October 10, 1992, in the Echelon Mall of Voorhees, New Jersey. Over time, five total locations were launched in Houston, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Voorhees, NJ, and Cary, NC. However, Edison Brothers Mall Entertainment eventually filed for bankruptcy, leading to the sale of many stores, including several Exhilarama locations to Namco Cybertainment, Inc. Other locations were rebranded under different names, such as Millennium and Nickels and Dimes' Tilt franchise before their closures through the mid-2000s

Hi I thought I would share 😣😣

Since you're sharing so should I.....

(not proofread sorry ;-; <3)

*****************************************

"Good girls are supposed to ask permission for cumming, I thought your parents taught you manners, princess?"

Sunghoon couldn't help but emphasize the last word, messing with the pretty diamond necklace on your collarbone. The smallest stone alone cost what they made a week, the whole pendant costing their monthly salary.

Jake grinned down at you and massaged your temples before pressing his thumb against your bottom lip, a soft hum leaving him when you started sucking softly.

Usually, you'd never sleep with workers your father hired. After all, you were in the top 1%, the upper echelon. They drove you to the mall when you asked, and cleaned up the table after you ate.

You'd never thought Sunghoon would be eating you.

"Give her a break Sunghoon, I mean she's practically shaking like an innocent virgin," Jake couldn't help but tease, your hands going to his calloused ones as he tugged at your hardened nipples.

You were unable to move much as Sunghoon had your legs pinned and your head rested in Jake's lap, both of them essentially caging you in.

"G-guys, I-" The sentence you were going to use to defend yourself was caught in your throat as Sunghoon slid a digit back into your sensitive walls, your face burning as you heard the lewd sounds coming from your core.

"Mmm what? Princess had something to say?" Sunghoon pushed as he slid another digit in.

"It'syourfaultforalwaysteasingme," you rushed out, your nails digging into Jake's forearms as his fingers drew delicate shapes on your lower tummy.

"Aw, is that so princess? If you hated it so much why didn't you have your daddy fire us? Or is it because you like the thought of such lowly servants touching such an innocent flower," Jake drawled, his voice sounding like honey to the ears.

You couldn't say anything in response because he wasn't entirely wrong and you hated his perceptiveness on that front, though your thoughts were jerked back to the present when you felt a coarse muscle prod your entrance.

You jerked some and Jake chuckled and cooed at you while Sunghoon's tongue made languid circles around your entrance, using his lips to suck gently on your already swollen bud.

"H-hoonie wait, I think someone's coming," you rasped out, fruitlessly trying to push him away as your legs shook around his head. Sunghoon only hummed against your core in response, Jake not helping by pinning your hands in one of his thus not allowing you to cover your mouth.

"What s'there to be embarrassed about princess? Afraid your sweet sweet father is going to hear just how lewd his daughter really is? The fact that you're our good girl instead what he assumes to be his goody-two-shoes?"

You avidly shook your head no and let out a whine when Sunghoon came up for air, licking his lips and sitting up on his knees.

"Maybe we should help her be quiet then since she can't get herself under control..." Sunghoon trailed off, lowering his work slacks to free his member. You gasped as you were pushed onto all fours, Jake, hiking up your Versace dress and pushing your underwear to the side.

"I think that's a great idea. Whaddya say then, princess, let's see how well you can keep quiet," Jake cooed as he rubbed his tip against your folds, Sunghoon grabbing your chin while his tip rubbed against your bottom lip.

"Let's see if you can be a good girl until our shift ends cupcake."

Modern Bridgerton AU

Anthony & Kate

The Bridgerton Cooperation is the family business started at the turn of the century by a great-something grandfather Bridgerton, and it was successful enough to push the family into the upper echelons of New York society. When their father died, an uncle took stewardship of the company until Anthony graduated and could start learning to take over. He’s been running the business since getting an MBA from Penn, which he is trying very hard to do well, but it consumes his entire life.

Kate’s stepmother is from a society family, but she married a decidedly outside of the circle (Kate’s father). Kate is ambitious and wants to prove the society gossips wrong about her. She goes to Smith then Georgetown Law, after which she ends up back in NYC working at a small human rights law firm, where she does immigration work.

Anthony decides it’s probably time to settle down. But obviously he’s not going to stop working 80 hours a week for the family business, so he’s looking for a wife who can run his household and raise his children and be unbothered by essentially never seeing each other.  At some social function, Anthony meets Kate’s younger half-sister, who is much more like Daphne and is aiming to marry money and be a society wife. Anthony’s interested…until he figures out she’s Kate’s sister.

Anthony initially meets Kate through work circumstances – his executive assistant’s (sibling, fiancé, friend, whatever) is facing deportation due to DACA issues, and he (good person that he actually is deep down) offers to help. Kate ends up taking the case, and she and Anthony butt heads immediately. At first, Kate thinks he’s doing this for good PR, but soon realizes that he’s paying the legal fees with his own money and helping his assistant keep the news private and oh shit he might actually be a good guy. 

Tensions come to a head when Kate gets introduced to Upper East Side Pall Mall. It’s a game where you hit golf balls from one upper east side rooftop to another. Whoever can get it the farthest from the “home base” rooftop (and get into the building and talk their way up to THAT rooftop so they can retrieve their ball) wins. Edmund taught it to the older kids. They all think Violet doesn’t know about it (in fact, she invented the game). 

Kate, being more of an outsider, is shocked to discover this is a thing that upper east side teens and 20-somethings do with relative regularity. "I’m sorry…you do WHAT?" Anthony thinks introducing her to the game will shock and appall her, and he’ll get the upper hand in the weird mating dance they’re doing (that’s what Hyacinth and Daphne will later refer to it as). But no. After about 15 seconds of adjusting to the idea, Kate is all in and takes no prisoners. Technically they both lost that game, but they also weren’t seen until much later that night…

The DACA issue gets settled (successfully, thank you), and Anthony and Kate realize they’re actually perfect for each (and Anthony learns what a work-life-balance is). They get married the following year and move into the Bridgerton Family brownstone.

TJ's Family Pizzeria

Small pizzeria place in a strip mall in Voorhees, New Jersey. Enjoyable place to get a quick slice and a soda. It's located down the road from the old Echelon Mall.

[corporationsarepeople]

Johnson is clearly telling Americans that he and his extremist friends want to carry out their assault on our constitution in secret and without accountability.

***

The Museum of the Bible was a fitting host for this event, as a building where powerful people complain that secularists have oppressed them and ruined the Christian America they say God intended. Founded by the billionaire Green family, which owns the Hobby Lobby arts and crafts chain, the museum bought the building located just steps from the National Mall in 2012 for $50 million. The location was strategically chosen to provide a gathering place for activists like Rapert and lawmakers like Johnson, to foster a seamless connection between the Bible (or, more accurately, Christian nationalists’ version of the Bible) and the centers of power a few blocks away.

Despite claims of persecution at the hands of nefarious secularists, these Christian nationalists have the ultimate access. They hosted a gala event, keynoted by the man second in line to the presidency, just blocks from the highest echelons of power. This is dominionism— the evangelical idea that Christians must take control of the institutions of government — in action.

***

If you aren’t already aware of the rhetoric that dominionists commonly repeat, you need to be.

world building Wednesday!

I hope I'm not too late to at least partake a little!!!

My lair is here and my Ask Box is Here!

(I don't use my hibden for anything but storage and the Grand Horrorwood tab is for my non-lore breeding pairs so you can skip those!) and I'll do my best to send out reciprocated asks to everybody who sends me an ask ones about their own lore, just because that'll be way way easier for me to keep track of and I've been at the doctor all day!

My lair's kinda crowded so I'll give a little sum-up of each tab and a quick link for them!

🕯️Vaudemire Way🕯️: a neo-futuristic victorian town (think steampunk but the other way around, victorian aesthetic, cyberpunk technology) haunted by the strange presence of an undead ringmistress- and a conspiracy to gain untold power.

🎪 The Sideshow 🎪 : a traveling circus regularly settled on the outskirts of Vaudemire Way drenched in Shadow and plague sensibilities and hiding a towering, monstrous secret amongst its colorful clowns. The Pig is always watching- be on your best behavior.

🍯 The Hive 🍯: a small collective of veilspun who call the forests of shadow territory home. They know more than they seem to be willing to tell about the strange happenings in the wake of the Splintering- and oft insist upon speaking to a one 'Weeping Tree.'

🩸The Stelhope Orphanage 🩸: a towering manorhouse sits in the middle of Vaudemire Way- no adult dragons come and go, but strange, dark-eyed hatchlings seem to haunt the grounds- and each time a new one arrives, it seems to herald misfortune.

🌃 The Ever Constantine Mall 🌃: A neon-lit shopping center in Lightning Territory, with a history fraught in tragedy. Despite this, this bustling center for capitalism sits resolutely in the Sornieth equvalent to the 'Mall Boom" of the 90s/early 00s, the chosen hangout of hundreds of adolescent dragons- and when night falls, the stalking grounds of things those very young people make up to frighten each other.

🌩️ Hope Adder Enterprises 🌩️: A secret scientific organization previously studying temporal travel, hidden away in Lightning territory, Hope Adder Enterprises is now the containment collective tasked with tracking, and containing anomalous entities and trying to return the members of The Host to something resembling a permanent rest. Their second floor contains several W.A.R.D.E.N. unit Imperials, and thousands of holding cells containing those suffering from the 'analog virus', an affliction spread by a member of The Host that creates lesser copies of its own 'code.'

☠️ The Wicked Dig ☠️: A grand tomb sits beneath Earth flight's territory, previously only spoken of in whispers, and the Diamond Riot, a collective of cybernetically enhanced, cattle-rustling, grave-robbing cowboys seek the treasures within- though faced with dragons long thought to be simple myth, a pursuer with her automatons intending to protect her home from what the Riot might unleash- and the very thing they're exploring the tomb to discover slowly waking from its slumber- they're going to need a lot more than just wits to survive the Unearthed Child- and the cradle they just invaded.

🪦 The Host 🪦: Half a ghost and half a god, the members of The Host are entities created by the energy of The Splintering- freed from the bounds of the afterlife and imbued with a suffocating amount of magic in their acceptance to the 'upper echelons' many of the Host, if not most are entities borne of tragedy- entities now guided by power, cruelty, and revenge. They offer deals to the living, and oversee the Gaps that spawned them- creating 'gaplands' where their abilities are the single most powerful point of control- the Eleven cannot reach where The Host have made themselves known- lesser Gods now unfettered.

🔮 The Beholders 🔮: Often the First Witnesses to a Host event, the Beholders are seers, soothsayers, dragons with their minds twisted and splintered in their exposure to the kind of brutal magic that consumes The Host- and given some strange abilities of their own. Blessed with the ability to see the Host without being given express permission by these lesser gods, it is perhaps the madness that consumes most of them that has protected the Host this long.

@kusattainu⠀웃⠀plotted starter!

when she was sent over the school uniform she'd be wearing as a student at tokyo prefectural,⠀cementing that she'd be leaving the lush green for miles that'd a younger her had grown so sick of seeing⠀(⠀she deserved to see more than the same village faces,⠀their condescending ways a thorn in her side⠀),⠀her grandmother allowed her to go shopping in shinjuku as a dual treat and apology.⠀wary of the upper echelons,⠀the big dogs in jujutsu society,⠀she'd initially hidden the letter of recommendation from nobara:⠀under the impression that what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her⠀(⠀hoping that one day she would come to understand why the village functioned the way it did,⠀why the villagers were the way they were,⠀how tradition kept them on the fringes,⠀yes,⠀but ultimately safe⠀)⠀and she hoped and prayed to any ancestor that'd hear her out that this was the best course of action to take to protect her granddaughter.

[⠀...⠀]

but nobara was too much like her obasan, ⠀too headstrong and not easily swayed by the opinions of others,⠀nor petty tricks, ⠀a near perfect reflection.⠀a reminder of how her elder acted in her bygone youth.⠀in brash teenaged excitement does she done one of many carbon copies of her official school uniform,⠀double-checking herself and how she looks in the mirror,⠀a hand's nimble fingers carding through recently dyed tresses.⠀gloss-slicked lips upturn into a triumphant smile as once brown eyes⠀(⠀man,⠀these contacts sure stung while being put in!⠀)⠀twinkle with the promise of keeping their shine:⠀no matter the glitz and glamour of the city proper.⠀ nobara wouldn't be so easily sucked into assimilation,⠀not like how so many who moved away did⠀—⠀her sights were set more internally,⠀her mind's eye always more so focused on the appearance and being of self,⠀overall.

the tohoku shinkansen makes quick work of bridging the distance between nobara and her destination:⠀mylord,⠀a shopping mall in shinjuku with a knack for attracting young shoppers much like herself.⠀the ride is relaxing enough to where she's soon lulled to near-sleep by the steady rock of it,⠀exacerbated by the early 2000s' j-pop playing through her headphones.⠀soon enough,⠀this would be her life⠀—⠀living it up,⠀sticking it to city curses⠀(⠀'⠀they can't be so tough,⠀'⠀she surmises⠀),⠀showing the higher-ups not to underestimate the likes of countryside sorcerers⠀—⠀and oh,⠀what a life it'll be!

to say that kugisaki nobara was excited for this new development in her life,⠀wherein independence would be wholly in her grasp after being watered so delicately by her grandmother:⠀her roots⠀(⠀her potential as a jujutsushi carefully cultivated into what it was⠀)⠀finally growing after a period of stagnation,⠀brought forth by the somewhat unfavorable⠀(⠀until she got sick of village life⠀)⠀conditions she found herself in,⠀was an understatement.⠀finally,⠀she was allowed to blossom on her own terms and she wanted to keep it that way.

it happens in a blur:⠀her unboarding,⠀briskly leaving the train station with the trusty help of her dated smartphone's GPS⠀(⠀really,⠀she couldn't wait to invest in a new one, this one's camera quality sucks!⠀), staring a bit doe-eyed and marveling a bit at her sight of the city's ward, people bustling around her, before moving on to the mall:⠀she wasn't in tohoku anymore.⠀soon enough,⠀shopping bags weigh a bit heavily on her arms⠀(⠀where was a boyfriend when you needed one???⠀)⠀and what's in them is any other teenaged girl's correct guess.

she doesn't feel like the odd one out here.

it was deliberate,⠀her choosing to stick out like a sore thumb.⠀when she dyed her hair,⠀the villagers,⠀who long held her grandmother in high regard,⠀stared at nobara like she sort of grew an extra head or two.⠀trading her lush natural brown hue for a seemingly eccentric shade of ginger:⠀the outgoingly spirited young girl,⠀with the ancestrally wise obasan,⠀seemed astute in the choice that conformity in regards to long-held village customs and ways of living was something she'd hold an aversion to.⠀always.

perhaps,⠀this was her rebelling and lashing out against the bulldozing of saori's home years prior after she'd left,⠀having been ostracized and run out by their stupid views on outsiders.⠀nobara had been devastated and enraged by this,⠀but she was a growing and in-training jujutsushi:⠀she'd have to settle for pouting,⠀angrily scribbling in her diary,⠀and keeping her emotions on a regulated leash⠀—⠀lest cursed spirits would fester near.

she was never the odd one out.

just set apart,⠀consecrated by her bloodline's inheritance of their technique,⠀by her status as a jujutsushi.⠀to non-jujutsushi others she was the outlier,⠀but who gave a damn about what they thought?⠀she wears her pride in her heritage,⠀in what's been passed down,⠀overtly.⠀it's an integral part of her:⠀makes up a big chunk of who she is.⠀it helps that her new school uniform grounds her in a way that exacerbates that pride.⠀it's a good fit on her and it isn't gaudy.

any other,⠀regular-degular non-jujutsushi human looking at her would assume she attends a private school⠀(⠀they aren't wrong in a sense⠀).⠀to them,⠀city folk:⠀she'd perhaps just be another country girl who got fed up of seeing rolling plains of green,⠀the lack of opulence to be seen there instead of here,⠀a budding assimilationist who'd readily toss herself to the wind because she'd become enamored with skyscrapers and convenience of walkability.

they had her pegged wrong.⠀

to the trained eye,⠀to another jujutsushi,⠀it'd be wholly evident that she's wearing a personally custom-made uniform because she'd be soon to be set to attend only one-of-two jujutsu educational institutions as a student.⠀she's all smiles as she walks into the nearest konbini,⠀shopping majorly over,⠀it was time to stock up on her personal stash of snacks before sightseeing and eventually heading back home to tohoku.⠀tokyo would see her again,⠀soon enough.⠀it's with a pep in her step that she flounces up to the cash register,⠀yen in hand,⠀dumping her allotted treats and flashing a friendly smile at the person working the register today.⠀

a keen eye catch their name-tag and gaze soon zooms in on their face.⠀she was much like her obasan,⠀too much,⠀one would argue:⠀astute to a trained degree.⠀

jujutsushi knew their own.⠀she looks around,⠀they're the only two in the konbini.⠀good,⠀she feels less scandalized when she takes back her bagged goods from them,⠀leaning in she asks:⠀“⠀ne,⠀suiren!⠀you wouldn't happen to be a fellow jujutsushi,⠀would you?⠀”⠀

Recent Acquisition - Postcard Collection

Echelon Mall, at Somerdale and Burnt Mill Roads, Voorhees Township, NJ. 

[the-gone-ton]

That inspirational monologue written out on the wall might've been hopeful and uplifting when they put it up, but these days it's just plain delusional.

The Echelon Mall, as it was originally known, failed. The mall owner spent a lot of money thinking they could save part of it by knocking down half the mall, building a bunch of apartments and outdoor shops there, and renaming the whole thing to Voorhees Town Center. They might as well have set their money on fire. Today, the mall at Voorhees Town Center is a ghost town.

Derward 100% did not understand a lick of Korean. Of course, he assumed she would be talking trash about him no matter which language she chose to speak in, so he didn’t bother to ask what was said. Certainly he’d heard worse, anyway.

●●●●

Celebrities like Rockelle could have anyone, was Derward’s logic, so the fact she didn’t have even a peasant must’ve meant she had a pretty good reason for being alone. Frankly, he could relate. He was terribly lonely for friendship, yet he constantly chose to be alone.

“—Awww, she turned you down, too?” He threw an ‘up yours’ fist in Onyx’s general direction. By the time they reached the car with Brian in it, Derward was on his best behaviour.

“Thank you, miss. You, too, sir. You’re all just…” Honey dripping out of his mouth. “so kind.” Insert phony sniffle. The rest of the trip he was quiet, forcing a smile whenever Brian or Onyx looked at him through the rearview.

Once Brian was gone, Derward resumed his scowl and slouched shoulders with hands in pockets—Only coming out long enough to accept the Dough-Re-Mi.

He practically tore the paper big ones as he jerked them into his possession. Just as quickly, he went into innocent mode. “What floor’s OshKosh on again?” Canted head like a forgetful pup. He was going to take her dig of ‘kid’ for everything it was worth. Might even end up actually buying a few things from the child’s department. Who knows. He was perhaps at the slimmest he’d ever been, after all, and even though he was 5’10’ and no weakling, he was certain he could find something intended for children that would fit his grown-ass figure. If it had to be a crop top, then so be it. He’d worn frilled blouses just to get out of his own sweat before. The man was over labels.

“I’ve been mugged—more than once—though never by the same assailant.” Uncomfortable pause, suggesting he’d given a reason to never bother him again. The aromas wafting from the Chinese place caused his stomach to hiss. “I’ve temporarily blinded a man in both eyes to get ten bucks back, so you best believe I’d kill a motherfucker dead for forty times that…”

You might be thinking temporarily suggests mercy on Jenning’s part but that wasn’t the case… Derward had very deliberately pulled his punches, knowing that if the man was permanently blinded, strangers would only take mercy on him and give him money for nothing. He wasn’t going to roll over and hand him the win. It might even make him think mugging Derward had been worth it, justified.

Without another word, Derward strolled to the escalator and unto the upper echs (his personal shortening for echelons) of the mall. He didn’t care how long he kept Onyx waiting, if the bitch waited at all; he was going to hit every single solitary store here. Every one. Even the candle emporium… women's health… the vitashop... Dude had never even seen the inside of a mall and his curiously did not fucking discriminate.

While browsing around different places, Derward found he was getting a lot of looks. Mostly from teen girls, but there’d been a few mom ‘n’ dad aged folks looking, too, if he was being honest about it. No shame in that. He knew he wasn’t a minor. Even if… well, if they didn’t. Okay. So shame on them. The first few times the ogling happened, he assumed it was because something about him just shouted homeless bro, but the more it happened the more he noticed red faces and whispers with bit lips. People seemed to think he was cute! One chick even tried flirting for a bit. Needless to say, she walked away disappointed. He wasn’t accepting tail at this time in his life.

By the end of his trip, he’d accrued several bags, spending approximately half of the four hundred spread out over things like clothing, jewelry, skin care, shoes, and a pair of headphones to replace his current ones. Although tempted several times throughout the hours, he decided against spending any money on item he deemed frivolous; collectibles, entertainment, paraphernalia. Meals were covered at the hotel, as was TV and movies. He intended to make the other 200 last at least until someone gave him more. He wasn’t expecting more, but, still… it might happen. He might even get a job with Rockelle... or something. Anything could happen. Anything already did.

●●●●

Back down in the food court, Derward sat at a quiet table and texted Onyx that he was done with shopping and that he was now seeking supper; he would even wait for her to join him, on the off chance she wanted to. Truthfully, he was nervous that he’d be hit on again if he tried to have dinner alone. On that note, he actually hoped Onyx would come. Human sexuality was something that scared him and he didn't care to have to face any degree of it.

Onyx was busy on the phone with Brian, just telling him she was okay and that now she has to babysit some kid. She did it in Korean of course, not really caring if Deward understood. She could translate if its that big of a deal. Rockelle on the other hand waves at Deward and Onyx as they leave her presence, letting out a sigh of relief. She wonders if people wondering in here would become a normal occurrence and that thought alone annoyed her to all hell.

“Be safe you guys!” She called before they disappeared and left the building. As soon as they left and the door shut behind them, she got into her employees ass about this. Now she wasnt loud or unreasonable, in fact she was calm and collected. It seemed to scare her team even more since when shes upset, she sics Onyx on them but they REALLY fucked up if she came and spoke to them.

As Deward started to ask questions, she holds up a finger as she finishes up her conversation with Brian before hanging up. After sending a text or two, she looks up, pushing open the door for him. “Dont make me laugh, Rockelle doesnt have anyone. Too nervous to date anyone honestly. Brian is my husband. He only cares because he doesnt want me to be mean to those who dont deserve it.” Would it be a stretch to say Deward reminded her of him in a weird way?

They both had naive tendencies and often trusted so easily. It got Brian in his issue with Alymer that she caused. Even if its been over 20 years ago, she still couldnt fully stomach that she left him. She never forgave herself despite everything they been through, thank god he loved her so much to look over it. “Dont get any ideas about her being single, she doesnt date kids.” Was that a dig?

When they both got to Onyx’s car, a very nice vehicle, a man was in the passenger seat. She greets him in Korean and kisses his cheek before sitting down. “So heres the plan, we are going to go by the mall to pick you up a few things and Brian will get the hotel room while we are shopping. We are gonna grab some food for you and after that, you are free to do whatever in your room. Rockelle should contact you later today.” She continues before putting on her seatbelt and telling Brian to go.

After awhile, they made it to the mall and Onyx gets out the car, waiting for Deward to follow. Once he did, she hands him some cash, roughly 400 dollars. “Here. Buy any clothes you want.” She said in her deadpanned tone, walking into the mall. “And put it away, Im not giving you more if you get mugged.”

what is a champagne goth

Goth but designer goth. Champagne taste but make it bats. The dark lipstick is Dior and the pointy toed boots Chanel. Black velvet duster coats and cartier earrings, prada bag for a night out paired with an old Victorian blouse and winklepickers. Black silk slip dresses and teased hair. The absolute rejection of all things tackily mall goth and a way to be true to yourself and your own style while still being able to move within the upper echelons of society - as an eccentric, sure, but an accepted eccentric who speaks the visual language of wealth and upper class sensibility (and yet is equally at home in the smoking area of a metal bar should the evening turn out that way. )

meant to be — chapter 0: glossary

so, before i post chapters related to this fic, i thought that since not many people know of the show, bridgerton, and since i want many people to be as invested in the series, i thought of including a prequel that will include a glossary of words and phrases with the meanings, the usage in bridgerton, and what will be some of the replacement terms here in this story <33

also, as I feel the need to explain certain terms, I shall add them to the glossary. should you ever feel the need to

masterlist | glossary | chapter one

“Diamond” — Every year, Queen Charlotte selects one favored young lady to receive her blessing as the most eligible maiden on the marriage market. This incomparable diamond of the first water knows how to smile, curtsy, preen, and pose on-demand—in short, all the accomplishments that will make her the perfect ornament for her husband to display. Since this will happen among the men in this fic, I will replace this with the term, “Blue Sapphire.”

“Lady Whistledown” — (from the Bridgerton Wiki) Spreading the gossip via her newsletter, Lady Whistledown doesn’t hold back with her opinions and takes on the ins and outs of the other characters—much to the surprise of the other characters, who are equally kept in the dark about her identity. Lady Whistledown is the main source of all gossip, and her words can influence people's opinions on current social events. In this fic, it will be a man taking on this role, and he’ll be called, *cough* “Lord Whistledown.” Your mission, dearest gentle reader, should you choose to accept it, is to guess the identity of Lord Whistledown, in the first two chapters at least.

The ton refers to English high society during the Regency era and encompasses every aristocrat from the royals to the gentry. It derives from the French ‘le bon ton’, which means good manners, a virtue valued most highly in the upper echelons of society.

“Six and twenty” – an archaic way of saying 26. Here, the reader will be “six and twenty,” and so will Atsumu and Osamu be.

“Modiste” – A modiste is a French term for someone who provides the latest fashions for the ladies of the ton. In this fic, the modiste will be a male character, and a beloved one for sure: Satori Tendou. :D

Debutante ball: The purpose of the debutante ball is to show the girls in all their glory and grace. Their entry into secular society through dance at the ball shows their willingness to marry a representative of a narrow aristocratic circle. This word will be replaced by “beautillion ball,” for the men because it’s basically the same thing.

The ranks of royalty will be (in descending order): King/Queen, Prince/Princess, Duke/Duchess, Marquess/Marchioness, Earl/Countess, Viscount (pronounced vy-count)/Viscountess.

dance card: Tied to a young lady’s wrist, this little booklet keeps track of her dance partners. After all, it’s considered impolite for any woman to dance too many times with the same man. Let’s do the same thing here for men too :D

pall-mall: A French lawn game perfect for an afternoon diversion. Or an annual high-stakes competition of wills and talent, should one be lucky enough to step foot in the Bridgerton country manse. Either way, it’s also the forebear of croquet. I may either keep pall-mall or introduce cricket, whatever y’all say.

promenade: A leisurely walk taken for pleasure or for the chance to be perceived by fellow members of society, including potential suitors; usually involves parasols.

the cut direct: The greatest slight in Regency society. To properly cut direct a disgraced member of the ton, one would purposefully and actively refuse to acknowledge or greet said individual after they’ve given salutations or bowed. A hard, silent stare is encouraged — and the permanent cessation of any amicus bond would soon follow.  

another word for gold digger that I shall use here will be gold panner.

rake: a rake is someone who has been around and has had a number of relationships. He's probably pretty handsome. He's probably pretty charming. They're really funny on the page, and clever—you don't find rakes who are overly serious. he's definitely someone who's not interested in marriage. celibacy is off the table. no serious relationships of any kind. often, rakes really adore women of all shapes and sizes. they have an innate sense of how sexy they are, and how to use that sexiness to get what they want from anybody around them. Essentially, the rake is the bad boy with the heart of gold. In this fic, Atsumu Miya is a capital r-rake. a Rake, if you will, the perfect archetype. However, don’t cast him aside, he’s like that for a reason. what would it be? only one way to find out :D
