Ziolet Songs: Day Fourteen

Day 14 - Grow Old With You

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad Carry you around when your arthritis is bad All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches Build you a fire if the furnace breaks Oh, it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you Kiss you Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you Feed you Even let you hold the remote control

Below you can find a fanfic excerpt and a little Ziolet background info, please note warnings for pregnancy discussion/description.

Zach and Violet become pregnant with Varina shortly after their wedding. The pregnancy, like all of Violet’s pregnancies except the one with Victoria, was very difficult.

During the pregnancies Violet dealt with physical and emotional struggles, feeling gross from her appearance and symptoms. But Zach cannot see it, he truly thinks she is stunning throughout her pregnancies, and he’ll do anything to convince her of that fact, including singing the aforementioned song, because he loves her so.

I laid on the couch in Zach’s headquarters watching The Wedding Singer. My hands rested on my ever growing baby bump as our daughter fiercely kicked within my womb. I was officially in my third trimester, and I was a mess. I was still suffering from morning sickness, which was a complete joke because it could last all day, and I was beyond exhausted and emotionally drained. I felt like I couldn’t go anywhere or do anything due to the debilitating nausea, so I’d resorted to laying down a lot more and watching old romantic comedies to pass the time.

Zach was at his workbench building his latest robotic achievement, and although I’d been trying to help him, be the good assistant and wife I longed to be, I just couldn’t do it. If I wasn’t still, I was getting sick. So, I remained curled up, resting my head on the arm of the couch. I was ready to doze off when my favorite scene in the movie came on, and I immediately perked up.

I rose to a sitting position, cradling my bump as Robbie sang Grow Old With You to Julia. I could not stop the tears that fell from my eyes: the hormones were brutally beating me up. Zach called out to me, coming to my side and sitting on the couch next to me, a worried look crossed his face.

Zach reached his hand out, covering my stomach with his open palm, “Vi, why are you crying? What’s wrong? Is something wrong with Baby V?”

“No, I’m fine, she’s fine, it’s just….it’s so romantic and beautiful!” I sobbed. Zach’s expression instantly turned from one of worry to amusement.

“I thought something was really wrong, you’re crying like someone died!” He snickered.

“I can’t help it, these hormones are killing me!” I sobbed louder, Zach continued to laugh and pulled me onto his lap, cradling me to his chest.

I sniffed before continuing, “it’s - it’s just that he loved her so much, he sang this beautiful song to her telling her that no matter what he’d love her. Even if she’s not young and beautiful…and I feel so gross right now, and I look awful so…it’s just really nice to see this…it’s just beautiful Zach!”

“You’re not gross Vi…” Zach reassured me, he paused tilting my face up so he could look me directly in the eyes, sincerity filled his voice, “you’re beautiful, far more beautiful than this sappy movie…”

“I’m a hormonal mess, and she won’t stop growing, and I’m sick all the time, I’m gross…” I whimpered, tossing my head back and pouting.

Zach groaned, pushing me off his lap and standing up. He glared down at me, and waved his index finger, “you’re gonna make me do it, aren’t you?”

“Do what?” I whined.

He rolled his eyes, “Sing to you…sing you that song to make you feel better…”

I looked at him in shock, “no, you don’t have to…”

Zach gave a huff, crossing his arms over his chest, “I’ll do it, because I know it’ll make you happy, but you have to promise me something.”

I wrinkled my brows, “promise you what?”

Zach leaned toward me singing,“‘I wanna grow old with you…’”

He paused after seeing my face light up, “promise me that you’ll stop talking about looking gross. You’re beautiful, you’re carrying our child, and no matter what changes your body goes through now or 50 years from now I’ll always think you’re beautiful…promise me you’ll stop?”

“I promise…” I whispered in excitement.

Zach nodded, “Good, and if you’re a good girl, I might just learn how to play it for you on the violin for our wedding anniversary. How does that sound?” (@novazentryx has me hooked on the idea of violinist Zach)

I nodded enthusiastically, and I chewed on my lip as he started singing to me, as soon as his voice filled my ears, our baby girl began kicking again. I figured she must have enjoyed the sound of Zach’s voice just as much as her momma.

Love is Respect: Empowering Relationships with Virat Kohli and Sushmita Sen

Love is Respect: The Message of Equality and Empowerment

The latest Wrogn campaign, Love is Respect, starring Virat Kohli and Sushmita Sen, serves as a powerful reminder that love is incomplete without respect. Kohli, a sporting icon, speaks to the evolving behavior of men who increasingly treat women with equality, reminding us that relationships thrive when respect walks hand in hand with love.

This campaign transcends mere advertisements by addressing a deeply important societal issue. It highlights how simple gestures—like sharing responsibilities, being kind, and acknowledging your partner’s worth—are vital in showing respect. Virat Kohli himself reflects on his personal journey, remarking, “You can’t hurt a person and then expect love in return.” His statement resonates deeply, capturing the essence of mutual respect in relationships.

With her grace, Sushmita Sen echoes this sentiment, stating, “Respect is love in action. Loving a woman is respecting her choices.”

Real-Life Examples of Respect and Love

Jackie Shroff and Ayesha Shroff have been an inspiring couple for decades. Their relationship has been based on mutual respect, with Jackie often crediting Ayesha for being his constant support system through thick and thin. Their partnership reflects a balance of admiration and respect, proving that the foundation of their love is trust and equality.

Similarly, Suniel Shetty and his wife Mana Shetty have shared a strong bond for over two decades, rooted in mutual respect. Suniel frequently expresses his gratitude for Mana’s role in his life, describing her as his rock. They’ve built an empire together, but more importantly, they’ve built a family on values of love and respect.

A globally admired couple, Barack and Michelle Obama, epitomize how mutual respect can uplift a relationship. Michelle often speaks about how Barack supported her through her career and personal growth, allowing both of them to flourish individually and as a couple. Their relationship highlights the importance of respect as the foundation of lasting love.

Another inspiring tale is of Indian cricketer MS Dhoni, who frequently acknowledges how his wife Sakshi’s support and wisdom have been crucial to his success. His open admiration for her is not just about love; it’s about respecting her contributions to his life both professionally and personally.

Take, for example, a story from Mumbai, where a husband and wife started a business together after losing their jobs during the pandemic. What made their partnership strong wasn't just love, but the deep respect they showed for each other's ideas and hard work. This respect was key to their success, as they navigated challenges together, proving that love truly thrives when respect is at its core.

Love and Respect – The Fairy Dust in any relationship!

Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Michelle Obama: “When they go low, we go high.” This quote signifies that respect and love require us to rise above pettiness in relationships, staying grounded in compassion.

Why Does This Campaign Matter?

In a world where quick judgments and insensitivity often take over, campaigns like Love is Respect remind us that love and respect should form the foundation of all relationships. These values are not just to be admired but practiced in daily life. Whether it’s your partner, a friend, or a colleague, respect in action speaks louder than words.

Join the conversation, and let’s celebrate the Right Kind of Man, the ones who champion respect in every relationship. Together, we can inspire a wave of change, one respectful act at a time.

Let's drive positive change, one story at a time! Share yours now!

I don't mind growing old with you

🦆💕🦆

[mylyy]

I’m jealous of your pillows and of your sheets because i want to hear the sound of your heartbeat. I want to fall asleep to the 76 beat per minute metronome.

You got my brain like a fermata on hold but I want to fall asleep next to you 100 times a night so I can know you 100 times better by daylight.

But at the same time, so does he.

And maybe that’s just the way things should be. And I see the way you smile when you think of him, he can take away all your problems on a whim.

And I am jealous.

Jealous of how zealous you get over him. And I am not saying that it’s a bad thing. I think it’s great.

But still your personality godes me like bait. And just like fish in the water or a fly near a swatter. You tempt me, and I am cautious.

But your beauty still makes me nauseous.

And I guess I really don’t know if he feels the same way. I don’t know the sort of things he will say. I’d like to believe he says the same things I would. That he is always here for you. That your smile is on the list of things to look forward to.

And I am jealous.

Jealous of how he get’s to miss you. And girl, I know you said not to wait but you also said you felt something too.

Youre the only one to make me feel less tough, less rough, more smiles, more feels, less sad, less mad, more Life appeal.

My motto has always been “Half as long, Twice as bright.” But you make me wanna grow old just watching the sunlight. With a cup of coffee in one hand you in the other.

You are somebody I just want to smother.

And I know this is a cliche thought, but call me a romantic but a kiss has given answers meeting that of something mantic.

I want you to know how I feel. How my affection was something for you to steal.

So, romantic me has an idea for you, forget about him, just for a moment or two, pretend it’s just me, me and you,

and please,

just once,

let me kiss you.

[krysmcscience]

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

you and me, forevermore

Out of Context Stuff for a Danyal Al Ghul au i haven't posted - Pit Beast Danyal

Damian, 13: Look, Danyal, -- I am so sorry for everything that happened between us in the League, I hope you can forgive me.

Danny, 10 (allegedly): (has been secretly plotting to murder Damian this whole time, is still gonna do it obvs, but is going to make it significantly less painful now)

Danny: I-- of course, older brother. :]

--------

Bruce: what do you have there, Damian?

Damian:

Danny: (a hulking 10ft pit beast standing beside him, growling idly with ram horns gouging out his eyes and a second set of horns jutting into the air, spines down his back, and a long, spiked tail with an animalistic, skull-like face)

Damian, who smuggled him in (they've made amends): a smoothie, father

----------

Damian: this is my little brother Danyal, i murdered him when he was five. He festered in rage for the last half-a decade, took over a League mountain base in Switzerland, murdered everyone inside and then tried to murder me when I went to investigate with Drake.

Danny: hello!

Damian: we're cool now

----------

Damian: thoughts on resurrection

Danny, (a full ghost): i will succeed in murdering you if you try it

Damian: we'll put a pin in it then

----------

Danny (still instilled with League values): why don't we just murder him??

Damian, on patrol (Danny followed him): we don't murder people, Danyal

Danyal:,,,,are you sick, Dami?? Have you been possessed? Why not!?

(There is raucous laughing through the comms)

----------

Danny, five, pre-death: Dami! :D

Danny, dead, vengeful: Older brother (:

Danny, post-forgiveness: Dami! :]

-------

For some actual context: Danny is fully dead in this au, its a result of the classic DPxDC Demon Twins "death duel" trope but instead of Danny getting revived, he stays fully dead. Danny was five, Damian was seven. His ghost lingered though, and due to the proximity of the pits his ghost steadily absorbed the ambient energy it was letting off. The pits are not corrupted ectoplasm in this au, it's just liquid ecto.

Which means Danny's corruption from an angry and hurt little ghost boy to an unrecognizable monster is from his own doing. It's a result of him stewing in his hurt and anger for years, it physically warped him. He's very powerful. Danny can travel between League Bases but chose a small, out-of-the-way base in the Swiss mountains to fester in and then just. Never Left.

His influence steeped into the very foundations of the building, allowing him to transform and warp the rooms and hallways for his own bidding, Meaning he could turn it into a seemingly unending labyrinth if he so wished to, and block the entrance.

Eventually, blinded (both metaphorically and physically) by his own rage, Danny grew powerful enough to appear physically in the living realm and attacked everyone in the base, slaughtering them all and leaving the base abandoned. He attacks anyone who dares enter -- whether that be other league members, or the unfortunate hiker who stumbled across the base. His conscious is steeped into every nook and cranny of the building, there is nowhere you can hide where he can't find. Nobody leaves without his explicit say so. Nobody ever does.

Him appearing as ten years old before Damian in the skits above is his own physical doing. First it was to prevent Damian from being suspicious of him. Damian initially thought Danny was revived with the pits, he was too busy with his own training afterwards to notice that Danny never showed up again, and when he did notice, he assumed it was because Danny was too ashamed of his loss to face him. He'd always forget to ask about him.

Then it becomes a personal choice to appear as ten. It's how old he would've been had he been alive.

danny forgiving Damian is kinda for an offshoot branch of the main au. Whereas the main au takes the form of a ps4 first person horror game where Damian and Tim are investigating the Base for Plot Reasons. There's no sign of the rumored "monster" living inside until the end, where Danny, who was found inside the Base and has been happily "helping" them look around, manages to persuade Damian into splitting off from Tim in order to "show him something."

This something turns out to be Danny revealing that he never really forgave Damian for that fight, and he reveals through a horrifying transformation, that he was the monster the whole time. Which the game subtly hints at throughout as Danny's strange behavior becomes harder to ignore.

First from his insistence to only refer to Damian as "older brother" (when before the duel he always called him Damian or Dami), to him right off the bat denying the existence of a monster when questioned. ("There's no monster here, older brother. It's just me.") To other various things, like his knowledge of the outside world not matching up to modern times or things going on with the league outside of the base, or what happened to the other league members.

This whole idea was inspired by the song "Scylla" from Epic the Musical, with Danyal being the voice of Scylla as well as Odysseus, while Damian stands as Eurylochus. The instrumentals after Scylla says "hello" is him turning into the pit beast, and Scylla's "drown in your sorrow and fears" part is danny, as the pit beast, snarling at Damian while he attacks him.

There's a Good Ending, a Bad Ending, and a True Ending. The Bad Ending results in Damian being killed by Danny, it happens when Damian decides not to question or suspect Danny and treats him kindly. The Bad Ending is a cutscene, where Danny kills Damian quick and painlessly.

Meanwhile the Good Ending is Damian killing Danny. This is a boss fight, and it happens when Damian treats Danny coldly and suspiciously the whole time. Danny as a result, decides to make Damian's death painful as he had planned to, which is why it's a boss fight because it only causes him to double down on his anger.

The True Ending is Damian escapes with Tim. It happens when you treat Danny warmly up until the last minute, where when Danny proposes to Damian that he wants to show him something, Damian goes to talk to Tim and finally, reluctantly agrees that something is off with Danny, and that he'll be careful going in. It starts off with the boss fight until a third through, where it then changes to a cutscene where Tim manages to get the door open and Damian escapes out. It's then a chase scene down a never-ending hallway as the building actively works to keep you trapped inside. But you eventually make it to the exit so long as you avoid all the projectiles and doors.

Remember when I mentioned that Danny only lets people leave when he wants them to? That's where the treating Danny kindly throughout the game comes into play. It causes him to second guess himself and, eventually, reawaken and strengthen the love and admiration he had for Damian prior to his murder. It's why in the Bad Ending he kills Damian quickly -- because by then, he loves him enough that he doesn't want him to suffer, but is still so consumed by his rage and need for vengeance that he kills him anyways. That quiet part is what allows Damian (and Tim) to find the exit, because some part of Danny still loves Damian enough that he wants him to live.

The True Ending ends with a cutscene of Damian and Tim tumbling out into the snow/grass outside of the base. Damian looks up back to the entrance to see Danny standing there. But rather than a ten year old boy, there's a little five year old Danyal Al Ghul instead. He stares at Damian emotionlessly, blood seeping from his chest, staining his clothes, and little, bloody sword in his hands and tearstains on his cheeks, before he turns away and disappears back into the building.

Eternal Bonds: Tim and Danny’s Infinite Realms Marriage

In the Infinite Realms, marriage is an unparalleled commitment. Unlike the mortal world, where love can be fleeting and easily undone, marriage in the Realms is something far more sacred. It’s not just about vows or ceremonies—it’s about merging souls, creating a bond that not even the vast stretches of time can sever. The very idea of marriage in the Realms is rare, almost mythical, because it requires two beings to love each other so profoundly that they’re willing to bind their very existence to one another.

For the ghosts and entities that reside in this realm, eternity isn’t just a poetic idea—it’s a reality. Time is meaningless when you’re no longer alive, when your very essence is bound to the afterlife. And because of this, relationships are viewed through a different lens. There’s no such thing as divorce, no “time apart.” Once a couple is bound, their souls are intertwined forever. To dedicate your entire being—past, present, and future—to another means accepting that their joys, sorrows, triumphs, and failures will be yours too. It’s a partnership where breaking the bond is simply impossible.

It’s why marriage is such a rare occurrence in the Realms. The ghosts, who have already lived one life and often seen the frailty of mortal promises, don’t enter into this kind of bond lightly. It’s only for the strongest of loves, for the most steadfast of commitments. Because once you marry in the Infinite Realms, that bond holds through eternity itself.

And yet, despite the gravity of it all, Tim and Danny find themselves willing to make that very commitment. Tim, a mortal tied to a world where things end, where nothing lasts forever, steps into the unknown. His love for Danny is so deep, so unshakable, that he agrees to a traditional Infinite Realms marriage. He knows full well the weight of it—he’s not just vowing to love Danny in this life, but in every life after. In swearing to this bond, Tim is offering his entire being to Danny, for now and all of eternity.

For Danny, this choice means even more. As a halfa, he exists between two worlds, knowing both the mortality of the living and the permanence of the ghostly afterlife. His love for Tim is powerful enough that he’s willing to make this eternal commitment, knowing that there’s no one else in any world—mortal, ghostly, or beyond—he would rather be tied to. For Danny, the bond is as natural as breathing. It’s a connection that deepens their relationship in a way that transcends the limitations of their two worlds.

Their marriage isn’t just a declaration of love—it’s a merging of souls, a binding that makes them two parts of the same whole. It overwhelms them with the sense of safety and belonging that they’ve both craved in their lives. In each other, they find the kind of love that doesn’t just endure life’s difficulties but thrives beyond them. Their bond ties them together forever in a way that no one else could understand, but to Tim and Danny, it’s everything.

They are each other’s home. And in the Infinite Realms, there is no greater honor, no stronger connection, than to be bound by love for all of eternity.
