I follow the lady who owns this home, on Instagram. She flat-out refused the realtor's advice to redo her colorful home in Richardson, TX, in white & gray, in order to sell it . She wrote: The hubs got a job opportunity in Austin that he couldn’t refuse…so I am being kidnapped and forced to sell my colorful pattern party dream house to one of you losers. (Don’t listen to me, I’m just bitter.) The 1976 home has 3bds, 2ba, & is listed for $469K. She was right, it's already under contract.

I notice that the real estate photos are so dulled down. The entrance is bright pink with flamingo wallpaper. It looks dull and beige.

I mean, really, this is the actual color of the entrance.

The photos have to be dulled down on purpose.

The blue in the living room is much brighter and I bet they made her take up the area rug.

The dining area has a great ceiling mural.

A nice arch includes the kitchen peninsula with a counter and seats.

The actual kitchen with a view of a pink room.

The kitchen's pretty big, even though it's a galley layout.

The top photo is dark and subdued. The real dining area is lively and bright.

Look at the color of the wallpaper.

What a difference.

The primary bedroom. Both the realty version and the actual room.

They even dulled down the bathroom.

The subdued deck and the real deck.

First Camp

Summary: Its your first day at Matilda's camp

Warnings: None (I don't think - slight swearing but like maybe 1 word)

A/N: I can't decide whether I like this or not, but decided to post anyway, hope you like it.

As you stepped closer to the door, Steph placed her hands on your shoulders and gave them a reassuring squeeze something, she did quite often, something that worked every time. Kyra, Caitlin, and Sam had gone ahead, so it was just you and Steph, standing on the drive as you prepared yourself to walk into your first camp. “Steph. Y/N. Hi,” you and Steph both turned your heads to where the voice was coming from, it was Tony he was making his way over to you. “Hi Tony,” you said as you shook his hand.

“It’s great to see you Y/N, I am so excited to have you on camp, and I’m sure you will love it and all the girls will love you, we have made some adjustments to hopefully make the ease into camp easier for you” you nodded at what he is saying and smiled, he continued talking but you zoned out slightly, he was more directing his words at Steph anyway so it didn’t really matter. You were brought back to realty when you heard a phone ring, Tony got his phone from his pocket and looked down to it. “I’m sorry girls, I’ve got to take this, I look forward to talking with you more”.

“Bye Tony,” Steph said as he walked off.

You followed Steph as she walked up to the doors, she opened the doors and you walked through, the foyer was large, the back wall of the room had “Till It’s Done” plastered on it, surrounded by photos of past and present Matildas captains and vice captains, you smiled at the sight of Steph’s photo hanging on the wall. You suddenly walked into the back of Steph not realising she had stopped at a table in the middle of the room. “Oh Sorry,” you apologised to Steph after the impact.

“Don’t worry it’s all good, here take these” she handed you a pass which you assumed was your room key and a lanyard, which had your name and a photo of you on it. “Come on let’s go unpack and then we can go meet the girls” you nodded following her, she had some pieces of paper in her hand, you didn’t know what they were, but she didn’t hand any to you, so they must’ve been important captain things. The elevator ride was only a short one, and you were pleased to find that your room wasn’t too far from it. You looked at your door and then at the other doors, yours had two name plaques on it, the rest only had one.

“Um, Steph, why does this room have two names and the rest only have one?” you asked her.

“Well, we thought you wouldn’t want to be alone, and rather than you sleeping in someone’s bed with them every night because you couldn’t sleep, we decided you could share with me” she answered.

“We?” you looked at her curiously.

“Leah,” of course your sister knew you better than anyone, but you were glad that her and Steph had done this for you.

“Thank you,” you said as you gave her a cheesy grin.

“It’s all good.” She said ruffling your hair, which was a mistake as you spent the next 10 minutes redoing it rather than unpacking, but you probably would’ve redone it anyway as you had to get changed into your training kit which messed your hair up even more.

You were just about finished redoing your hair when there was a knock at the door, you turned to Steph who just sighed out “Come in, its open”.

The door opened and in walked Sam “Oh, we have another hair model I see” the girls chuckled at Sam’s joke, which must’ve been an inside joke, as Steph stuck the bits of paper she had previously been carrying up on the wall just near the door, turns out they were just the daily timetable and the camp schedule along with some other pieces of information. After you finished tying your ribbon you looked at the two older girls.

“Good to go?” they asked. “Yep,” you were about to walk out of the door when you remembered you needed something “Hang on,” you said ducking under Steph’s arm, and going back into the room, only a few seconds later you re-emerged.

“Lucky you remembered that because I totally forgot” Steph said surprised you were the one to remember something.

“What is it?” Sam asked.

“It’s my Epi-Pen, I was told I had to give it to Dave at the start of my first training session, I have another one in my bag though, and apparently the medics have some too” you explained. You’ve never actually had to use your Epi-Pens before the only reaction you had was the first one but as it was severe it had been drilled into you since you were little that you must always have them with you and make sure others knew where they were, so now informing others had just become habit. “I’m allergic to bees, and also maybe wasps, but we don’t know that because I’ve never been stung by one” you continued, both girls amused by the fact you were happily talking to Sam.

“Let’s keep it that way, hey” Sam said as you nodded.

You were sat in the dining room between Steph and Sam. Alanna, Macca, Caitlin, and Hayley were also sat at the same table as you. You listened to the conversation the girls were having, every now and then you spoke, but you mostly sat there, listening, and eating. It was all quite peaceful and calm until Steph had a realisation. “Shit did you bring your computer and school stuff?” she blurted out, panic painted all over her face. You had indeed brought your school stuff knowing Leah would kill you if you didn’t, but you decided you wanted to have some fun, so instead of answering her with a yes, you turned to face her, your mouth sat slightly open as you held a mixed facial expression trying to combine deer in the headlights, worried and shocked. Much to your amusement she fell for it, “Fuck, Leah is going to kill me, that was like the number one thing on her list, in big bold letters.”

“She gave you a list?” you said trying to hold it all together, but you could no longer hide it and burst out laughing.

“Oh, you little menace. If you keep that up, you won’t be the favourite anymore”. Steph uttered as she jokingly hit you on the arm.

“Ha! told you I was the favourite Kyra,” you shouted across the room. “Steph you lied” Kyra cried back in response.

“That was a good one,” Sam said as the two of you high fived.

“Wait, you’re still in school?” Macca questioned, you nodded.

“How old are you?” Hayley asked “Um, 16”, your answer was followed by a few gasps and wows.

“Your good, like I knew you were good, we’ve played you in the WSL and stuff, but that means you’re really good, like player of the generation good.” You blushed at Alanna’s comment.

“Yeah, I know, she was on fire last night, had more attempts than me, somehow managed to get pass Millie more times than I got pass her sister. I told her in the airport that if I wasn’t careful, she might take my spot in the starting line-up” Sam replied, as the room goes silent due to Tony’s presences up the font. Once she realised, she quickly shut up and faced Tony.

“Thank you Sam” He said just like every teacher you ever meet had said when someone got caught for talking before he continued “Hello everyone and welcome back to camp, glad to see it is as chaotic as always, I can see some of you have already meet our new face and are allowing her to settle in quite well but I’d officially like to welcome and introduce Y/F/N Williamson to you all, and yes she did choose us over the Lionesses and we are very grateful for that but please no further questions surrounding that. I just wanted to let you know that since we have Y/N joining us and it has been a while since our last one, we will be doing fitness testing tomorrow which I know you all love” everyone groaned except for you who let out a little yay.

“Did I just hear a yay?” one of the training staff stood up as he said it.

“It came from this one,” Sam said as she pointed at you, rolling her eyes.

“Oh, well I already like you.” He replied giving you a kind smile.

Tony continued talking for a little while, once he had finished all the girls went out to train but as you, Sam, Kyra, Caitlin, and Steph had only just arrived this morning you were allowed to relax the whole day, some of the staff came over to introduce themselves to you and you chatted with them before lunch. After lunch you sat in the gym watching the girls train as you chatted some of their ears off, before they all had to leave to have showers, but they quickly re-joined you and the others in the dining room for diner where you continued to talk to all of them. After dinner you sat in the common room hanging out with all the girls and before you knew it you were lying in your bed saying “Good Night” to Steph.

“So did you like your first day?” Steph questioned, as she walked out of the bathroom and climbed into her bed.

“Yes, it was amazing” you said, nodding eagerly with a gigantic grin on your face.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it. Night, see you in the morning” Steph said whilst she turned the lamp off, and no more than five minutes later you were out like a light, still grinning from your amazing day.

Give me modern AU Thranduil who, after a decade of mourning his wife and some serious grief counselling, has decided to start dating again except he has zero clue what he's doing. He's only dated and been intimate with his late wife so he's not really sure what he's supposed to be doing or how to do it.

His friends suggest dating apps but that feels too overwhelming and dangerous seeing as he still has his son living at home. It would be just his luck to get murdered by a potential suitor on the first date. Next is people he's not spoken to in decades throwing themselves at him or friends trying to set him up with people they know which gives Thranduil such severe anxiety that he always backs out last minute. Nobody seems to believe him when he admits he's actually quite shy.

Everyone keeps telling him that he's so pretty he won't be on the shelf for long which might be true from the neck upwards, but below that his body is a patchwork of burn scars, skin graft scars and holes and dents from various medical procedures he's had to endure. The thought of someone seeing him without his clothes on makes him feel riddled with insecurity. Having sex with someone else whilst on paper sounds great, but the realty is Thranduil hasn't even kissed anyone for a years and would no doubt be an awful bedroom partner.

He's often ill either with a migraine or the damage done to his eye which is a lot for someone else to take on and he has a kid, who comes first no matter what. There's not many people who'd be willing to take on someone with so much baggage as himself.

He tells all this Bard over the soy latte's his friend makes him at the restaurant he owns. Bard has always been nice to him and is also a widower so he understands Thranduil's trepidations about dating. He's also very nice to look at and Thranduil would much rather sit and watch him make coffee all day then go out with one of the suitors Elrond has dug up for him.

It take him three months and a not-so-gentle talking to from Elrond for Thranduil to realise that Bard has been flirting with him the entire time he's been moaning about his awful dating life. It takes him another month to actually do something about it and is genuinely surprised when Bard immediately says yes and spends the evening of their first date riddled with anxiety and speed dialing his therapist.

Ed Freeman’s early career was in the music industry; he performed as a folk guitarist and classical lutenist, worked ED as a road manager on the last Beatles’ tour, played guitar on dozens of pop recordings, wrote orchestral arrangements for artists including Carly Simon and Cher, produced and arranged over two dozen albums, including Don McLean’s American Pie. After a mid-life career change, he now creates commercial and fine art photographs that have been featured in hundreds of publications. Two books of his computer-enhanced images have been published. His architectural series - Desert Realty and Urban Realty - have been the subject of touring museums shows. Prints of his fine art images are in the permanent collections of several American museums and private collections world-wide. These days Freeman travels the world taking pictures, teaches Photoshop, still plays piano, is fighting a losing battle to learn Mandarin Chinese and swears mightily that he will write the Great American Symphony one day -whenever he gets some spare time.

Don’t hold your breath.

Part 2 3 4 5 6 7

Léviathan by Flavien Berger 🎧

[anthurak]

Okay but, we’re all on the same page that Jaune will NOT be repairing his sword and will instead be shown throwing it away, right?

Like we’re almost certainly going to be getting scene this volume where Jaune does something to the effect of burying his broken sword or casting it into the ocean and making an oath or promise that he’ll ‘never wield a sword/weapon again’.

Because that is THE most logical next step for his character. Killing Penny is absolutely Jaune’s lowest point as a character. A horrific act which, regardless of how justified he may have been in taking it, is antithetical to EVERYTHING Jaune stands for and represents. The last few volumes have shown Jaune growing into someone who supports, heals and protects. Heck, the figure his character is based on, Jeanne D’Arc, claimed to have never once killed.

And now he has not only taken a life, but the life of a close friend. A life which should not have needed to be taken. Heck, given the bond between Penny and Ruby, by killing Penny, Jaune has in a sense put himself in the same position as CINDER.

This is something that Jaune will absolutely view as his ‘greatest failure’, an act which will almost certainly haunt him for the rest of his days. So is it any wonder that he would want NOTHING to do with the weapon he used to do it, and almost certainly nothing to do with weapons in general.

And on top of all of this, Jaune getting rid of his sword is something that he’s kind of been building towards really ever since the START of the show.

At the start of the series, the sword basically represents all of the false expectations Jaune has for himself. He thinks he needs to be this great, strong warrior, and he comes to Beacon carrying not a weapon he made himself, but the weapon wielded by the very great-grandfather war hero whose reputation he thinks he NEEDS to live up to.

And after the Fall of Beacon, Jaune doubles-down on embracing these false expectations with the ‘super-sword’ upgrade, which is in realty this gross perversion of everything Jaune could be, and represents both the unresolved guilt and trauma he carries from Pyrrha’s death and his ultimately suicidal drive to avenge her. By upgrading his sword, Jaune does away with his shield, thus casting aside his defense, and with it any sense of self-preservation or worth.

And after Jaune realizes his true strength of supporting, healing and protecting others with the awakening of his semblance, finally gets the closure and acceptance for Pyrrha’s death that he so desperately needed, and begins to move past his grief, we see the next evolution of his weapon: Where all upgrades to the sword have been cast aside and it is now the SHIELD which receives all the emphasis. To the point where, in many of the battles he’s involved with in Volumes 7 and 8, Jaune doesn’t even use his sword at ALL, instead keeping it sheathed in his shield.

The more that Jaune has abandoned the false-expectations he started the story with and grown into the role of a supporter, healer and protector that is his true calling, the less he has been using his sword and the more he has been using his SHIELD.

So I’d say it only makes sense that we’d eventually arrive at a moment where Jaune casts aside the sword ENTIRELY and from then on uses the shield alone.

Hmm so how professional do you think om characters would address a wound ?

Let's imagine mc accidentally cut themselves and they're bleeding , who'd be the fastest and who'd be the most skilled and like so ? I personally think beel would be the most skilled one in tending to wounds but barbatos might be the fastest.

The Demon Bros & Undatables: Addressing a Wound

tw: mentions of blood, cuts, minor injuries (paper cut, small scrape from kitchen knife, broken glass). most of them are vague injuries, and are located on the hand or arm, but please be mindful of reading below!

Lucifer

- Definitely knows what he's doing, so you're surprised to see his hands tremble as he wraps the cut on your arm. You don't mention it, half because you doubt his pride would allow him to acknowledge it, and half because you don't want to disrupt his working

- To your surprise, he outright tells you, breaking the silence as he works. He pauses for just a moment to look into your eyes, his way of confirming you'd noticed what he was trying to ignore

- "Seeing you hurt...it effected me more than I thought. I'm just glad you're okay, and that I was here to help. How is it feeling now, love?"

Mammon

- Panics for a moment (or two), but when you start to pull out your DDD to ask one of his brothers for help, he snaps into realty

- Rushes you to the bathroom, and orders you to put as much pressure over the wound as you could while running it under cold water. He grabbed the few medical supplies he had around, and then began assessing the damage

- "Gee, MC, yah gotta be careful! I hate seeing yah hurt like this...but don't worry! The Great Mammon is here to help!"

Leviathan

- He isn't the biggest fan of blood, but has gotten used to the squeamish feeling he gets seeing it through watching anime. This, however, didn't prepare him for when you hurt yourself handing out with him

- It was only a paper cut, but the way you winced and tried to hide the line of blood trickling from your finger almost had him fainted. But the last thing he wanted was you going through any amount of pain alone, so he swallowed his nerves, and took your bloody finger in his hand

- "MC, wh-what can I do. How do we stop this? Tell me and I'll get it, or do it, or whatever is necessary to heal you!"

Satan (see end for notes)

- As the torturer of souls, he hardly bats an eye when you mutter "ouch, fuck!". But then he remembers you're human, his human, and jumps from the chair to your side

- You'd been cutting yourself a snack, and grazed the side of your finger. Your fist was wrapped tightly around it as you reached for a towel, but as you moved your hand to apply it, Satan placed his firmly around the injury

- "I'll put some pressure on it, you rinse off your hand and then we'll walk to the bathroom and get you cleaned up, okay?"

Asmodeus

- You try to casually tell Asmo you'd hurt yourself, but he nearly explodes when he sees the blood. He races to get supplies, so you move to the sink he'd designated as yours and begin to wash yourself off

- He returns with what you recognize as Lucifer's emergency kit, and starts ruffling through it to find what he needs. His strategy is a little messy, but you're tended to before you know it, and very thankful for his quick help

- "MC, of course! I can't have my beautiful human being hurt, now can I? And we'll use my healing serum in a few days, too, to avoid any scarring"

Beelzebub

- For a demon who spends most of his time eating, he's incredibly efficient at addressing your wound. Your brain has hardly recognized it when he's applying pressure with one hand, other grabbing towels to absorb any blood

- Asks questions about how deep you think it went, and how clean the knife was, using the information to determine that you'd be okay (something you figured, but thanked him for reassuring you of anyways)

- "You'll be alright, MC. We'll go get a band aid for you, and in a few days you'll be nearly good as new. Now, let's get you something for the pain, too. A scrape like that has got to sting"

Belphegor

- You're glad he's awake when you accidentally hurt yourself, and even gladder that he rushes to your side and takes your hand in his before you can see any blood begin to fall

- Walks you down the stairs to the main bathroom, where he carefully washes and wraps your wound. The pain almost immediately subsides, and you're impressed at the thoroughness Belphie practiced

- "It just seemed like the right things to do. I treated you the same way I'd have treated myself. That's only fair, right?"

Diavolo

- Helping Diavolo decorate for a party seemed simple enough, until he kept giving you increasingly difficult tasks. After just a few hours, you found yourself at the top of a very tall ladder, replacing light bulbs in a chandelier

- They were old, dusty, and most of them had burnt out. Devildom technology was advanced enough that their light bulbs lasted decades, and all needed changing around the same time. This was nice, but after decades of use, the glass was weak, so you weren't totally surprised when one shattered in your hand

- "MC, fall down, I'll catch you!" for some reason, you listen, falling an incredible height, but he does catch you. "I'm taking you to the bathroom, I know Barbatos has lots of medical equipment stored around. We'll wash and get any glass out of your hand before bandaging it nicely. Don't worry, I've got you"

Barbatos

- You were spending some quality MC time in the castle when you accidentally hurt yourself. You clutched your arm tightly and found Barbatos, who you knew would have the tools and intelligence to help

- And he did. You quickly went to his office, where he pulled out a large bag of human, angel, and demon first aid tools. He knew which ones were for humans, and quickly applied them to your wound after disinfecting it

- "I'm glad you came to me, MC. Besides my extensive supply of tools, it makes me happy you came to me over anyone else when you were hurt. I hope I can help you next time, too"

Simeon

- He was showing you a book Michael recommended him when you turned one of the pages and got a paper cut. You only winced a bit at the pain, but Simeon instantly took your finger and kissed it gently

- Somehow, the pain seemed to go away, and he took a nearby band aid and loosely wrapped it around the cut. He worked fast, and you basically forgot about the small injury altogether within a few minutes

- "I get paper cuts all the time, I don't know how Satan doesn't too with the amount he reads. I'm sad that you got one from one of my books, so I hope my care helps your healing"

Solomon

- You were helping him prepare dinner when your fingers got too close to the knife, and you accidentally took a layer or two of skin off with the carrot slice. You stood in shock for a moment before grabbing a towel and squeezing it around your finger

- Realizing what had happened, Solomon quickly got the first aid kit from your bathroom, and you met him by the sink. After cleaning off your wound and applying ointment and a small wrap, he held your hand in his, a clear guilt taking hold over him

- "I'm so sorry, MC. If you didn't have to monitor my cooking so closely you wouldn't have gotten hurt. I just hope it isn't too painful, and that you get better soon" (you promise him it wasn't his fault, but he only half believes you)

--

Satan note) Something I kept thinking about with Satan is that as he tortures to kill, not heal, he wouldn't know how to address a wound. BUT I think he learns how through reading, and also he definitely does research as the two of you grow closer. So he's ready for situations like that ^

A/N: I hope you enjoy! I'm sorry if the Undatables are a bit OOC, I don't write for them often, but I tried to stay as in character as possible!

Also don't mind that Lucifer is the only one who calls MC a pet name, that's my Lucifer stan ass HCing that he calls me love (as well as other things too)

It was a beautiful gloomy day, there was a nice sprinkle outside. You are currently cuddled up in bed reading a book when there was a knock at your door. You place your book down then ventured out into the living room, you open and were met with big brown eyes those you belonged to your neighbor Eddie Munson. “Hey” he spoke first “Hi” “Um so I was bored and thought maybe I should come bother you because you are probably also bored” you laughed “Yea ok come on in” he closed the door after himself “What’s in the bag” you asked him pointing and his black backpack “Oh my d&d stuff I need to paint some figurines for the next campaign plus finish the campaign “Are you using me too paint your little toys” “What no” he said sarcastically “You are wow and to think that you just wanted to hang out with little o’me but no you must use me” you said dramatically “No I-I really do want to hang out I just I-“ “Relax Munson I love painting and helping you out”  “I just don’t want you to think I’m using you” “Your my friend” his heart dropped yea just friends but he wanted too be more “Plus you could never use me how much the cheerleaders used me back in high school"

You were wearing a pair of light pink converse with drawings all over, some paint cover overalls and a black tee under along with some paint sprinkled on your arms and cheeks. When your eyes meet with his for the first time he swore it stopped for 5 seconds and that he died and went to heaven. The love at first sight moment was ruined went Mason Carver bumped into him “move freak” After class we walked out a was met with a poster JOIN OR MAKE A CLUB, with the same colors that you were covered in. That is how Hellfire was born. It took many people to convince to start the club but, in the end, he got his club, they directed him to you to make your club poster for club rush the next week. He bonded with you over the week of making the logo and posters he even helped with the other clubs, he didn’t dare to touch anything to do with sports. After that week, your friendship blossomed. But you both wanted more but never said anything.

You brought him into your room, he sat on your floor as you went into your closet to grab your art supplies. “Ok who am I painting today” “Well.... This is a Merrow they are mermaids or merman. They carry spears and here is the handbook for his colors” as you painted Eddie would tell you about the roles each person or creature was playing in his campaign. Eddie looked too cute when he was focused, his tongue was poking out, intrusive thoughts took over and you grabbed your paint brush and poked his nose. He looked at you stunned you thought he was mad until he grabbed a brush and poked your cheek, a poking war start any open flesh had color dots on them. You fell back has Eddie tried to poke your forehead, then felt a sharp pain in your lower back “Ow” “Are you ok” he was panicking thinking he hurt you, but in realty you fell on one of his figures “All good just landed on this little guy” you said holding it up "Oh wow this one looks just like you” the one had long hair dressed as a knight. “Um yea that my character he needs to be clean up bit but yea” “Aw he’s cute” you're cute you both think. He went into his bag and another figure fell out “Oh who is this” it was a girl she has your colored hair about the same length as you, a white dress flowy dress was this me you thought “Oh um that is um Eddie the banished fair maiden” he says sheepishly “What are her traits or strengths” “Um she helps patches up Eddie the banished after battle, she as a power where her food that she packs for him heals him and his wounds, and” he didn’t look you in the eye for the last part “she is really good a painting and drawing” you didn’t want to ask him just in case it wasn’t true but you really wanted to know “Eddie” “Yes” “Is she based off someone” your heart was pounding “Would it be weird if it was” he asked here goes nothing “What's her name” “um l-l-lady y/n” he said lowly “You made a character after me” couldn’t form any word he just nodded. 

He hasn’t looked at you since his confession “Eddie look at me please” he slowly looked at you “I think it is really sweet” you grabbed his hand “You don’t think it is weird that I made you my character fair maiden” “No I would be your fair maiden in any universe if you wanted me too” his eyes widen please don’t be dreaming he thought “I-I” he was speechless you smiled at him that made him melt. You did something that you only dreamed of you grabbed Eddie’s face and kissed him, he quickly kissed back and pulled you closer to him. He didn’t want it to end, but unfortunately people need air to live, and he was lacking that then. He pulled away with a lovesick smile, you pressed kisses all over his face till it was a deep red “Does this mean we are dating” you asked, “If you keep kissing me like that, I will be your anything” “So boyfriend?” “Yea girlfriend?” “Yes”

This is just too cute to pass up and it's such a great price. The yellow 1911 home in Woodstock, NSW, Australia is the main residence and has 3bds, but you also get the town's original old post office that's been turned into a 3 room home. Plus, many of the furnishings will be included, all for $298,875. The post office operates 12 hrs. a week, the license can be transferred to the new owner and if desired, the hours can be expanded.

Let us look inside the post office, first. Isn't this cute? It actually looks like a library or even a place where they do crafts.

It looks like they sort the mail in here. Remember, it operates as a post office 12hrs. a week. I don't know what building this room is in, but I would imagine it's in the post office- it's too much trouble for the realty to put pictures in order, and it drives me nuts trying to figure out these houses.

Behind the main room is this cozy spacious living room with a corner fireplace.

The kitchen is wonderful, too. It's big, sunny, modern/vintage, and even has a vintage stove in the original fireplace.

Lovely bedroom with stick walls.

And, a lovely bath with nice big sink mounted on an antique sewing machine.

And, now we're in the main residence which is the yellow house.

It also has a cozy living room with a fireplace. You can tell by the soot on the mantel that they use it a lot.

Next is the dining room. It has with big sunny windows. It's also a large room. This is one large room divided by a bookcase and it's has lots of windows, but half of them have awnings.

On the other side of the bookcase is a bedroom.

I'm a little confused. This kitchen is huge and it actually looks like it's operating as a luncheonette. Has a very nice fireplace.

The front garden and porch for the yellow house are so pretty.

This is very nice, you can see the cute striped awnings.

In the back is a covered patio and a beautiful lawn.

Another very pretty covered patio.

And, in a private corner is a pool.

Interesting, cute property for a great price.

Now, that's good to know, there's not only school, but a bowling club nearby.

New Fic Alert!

Welcome to Chicago! Here you’ll meet Y/n and Roman Clark, Riri Williams, and Shuri Udaku. A gritty tale of greed and manipulation. Take a look into Chicago’s night life and dance scene, as well as their corporate mogules in a fic collab with @desswright29 & @imjusthere2readbruv! Let us introduce our characters……..

The Golden Boy, a title he wore too proudly and took way too seriously. It was something that wasn’t his own, but the facade of it being his entire existence is definitely an understatement when it came to all of the major components of his life. He had to have the best clothes, cars, house, and most of all, the most wanted woman in the elite world! All of these things he took for granted, but he couldn’t help it…Roman “Rome” Clark, the co-CEO of Clark Realty was in for a rude awakening when his wife, the infamous, most sought after, gorgeous, and mischievous, Y/N Clark, seeks a new source of happiness in plain sight. What will he become when he is stripped of his ego that is replaced in the space that he used to keep his trophy wife?

A hell of a dancer, a total knockout,and everyone’s favorite Chicago native, RiRi Williams has a journey that no one else could ever claim as their own. She is an artist who loves her art and exudes greatness at every twist and turn that she can manage to bring to the dancefloor. As Shuri’s new addition to her life, and voice of reason, the web that holds Shuri captive becomes a part of her journey as well. Is she wise and graceful enough to get herself out of this one? One can only hope!

Y/N Clark, Co-CEO and founder of Clark Realty. The definition of “got it out the mud”. Her dreams of being a performer had been crushed at a young age, when she was forced to take on the responsibility of her family. She learned to hustle and quickly became one of the most sought after individuals in the financial industry. She’s sexy, intelligent, and everything she touches turns to gold. It made since for her to marry the “GOLDEN BOY” of Chicago. But, is she truly happy? When faced with a magnetic temptation, and what she truly wants coming into question; will she be able to resist? 

Shuri Udaku, Wakanda native, Super Genius and one of the best in the HipHop Dance world. Alluring was an understatement. New to Chicago and struggling financially, she knew that one day she would be a force to be reckoned with. It was that confidence and tenacity that placed her quickly on Chicago’s up and coming list, and allowed her to have any woman that she wanted at her disposal. But, there was only one that she’d recently set her sights on. Once connected with the most powerful woman in Chicago, will she get too caught up in her scandalous affair to come to terms with her reality? Will her persistency come back to bite her in the end? Can she win once up against one of the most powerful men in the city? 

We introduce to you

Coming Soon! We hope you enjoy!!

Reprograming my mind to Shift Realties

so basically i have just watched this youtube video and i decided to reprogram my mind because i have never shifted before and i wanna start it. i don't know where should i shift first so it would be great if you suggest me some dr.

anyway here is what i learned from this video :

the reprogramming takes 4 days

day 1: list all your believes and nonbelieves, it could be anything , even very simple things. for example i believe that my hair is brown and i also believe that i can shift easily. however i don't believe in santa and the easter bunny ( i know it sounds funny but you really need to set your mind that you actually CAN shift and you do it very often )

day 2: repeat affirmations , listen to sublimals... don't stress , that's very important

day 3: watch/read success stories of people you trust to further your beliefs and knowing that it's real and you can do it too.

day 4: THIS IS THE DAY YOU SHIFT. are you excited ? prepare as if it's a party you were waiting for so long. lock it down in your head. anything you do, relate it to shifting. drinking water brings you closer to shifting, brushing your teeth, showering, breathing, eating, literally anything you do you'll tell yourself is bringing you closer. do it all day long ,with everything you experience (even if its negative)

Welcome to Rosas

I just had the horrifying realization of how long the comic of the song will take and I need to map out what will happen for each lyric.

I'm going to write out my version of the song before I complete my comic. Sung by Dahlia, Bazeema, and Hal

Lyrics are color coded as to the characters listed

Black - Everyone

Blue - Newcomers

Welcome to Rosas, come in and this way

We hope you love it and choose to stay

There's no other so full of surprise

Where all of your dreams and realty can collide

The most magical place on Earth

Full of riches, joy, mirth

Want great strength or build a vase

Well, hey, you've come the right place

Cause here, in the Kingdom of Rosas

We'll turn your wanting to wishing, no what-ifs and no wonders

Oh here, in the Kingdom of Rosas

It's unlikely to be unhappy

With so much to discover

A home for me, for you

For all of us

The Kingdom of Rosas

So we have a king named Magnifico

And he built Rosas many years ago

With might beyond man

He grew Rosas from sand

And made us the envy of all the sea and land

The Queen will ease any fret

And the King will fight off any threat

With no sort of catch? This is too good to be true

Okay, let me mention the only thing that's due

Should you at least be eighteen and decide to stay here

You must give a wish to the King once a year

You may go about and take your fill

And soon the King shall grant your greatest will

Though, you will forget what it used to be

But the ignorance will undo your prospects and set you free

Here, in the Kingdom of Rosas

We'll turn your wanting to wishing, not what ifs and no wonders

Oh here, in the Kingdom of Rosas

You can always be happy with so much to uncover

A home for me

For you

For all of us

The Kingdom of Rosas

Reverse Unpopular Opinion: Modern AUs
