read more of my king!simon blurbs here

you weren’t expecting to have a good morning when you made your way up to simon’s chambers.

the previous night you had sent simon to bed with a suspected fever and obvious congestion in his chest. it was a miracle you were even able to get him out of the bathtub - him complaining of a chill in the room. his head felt warm when you were washing his hair and at the mention of you notifying his doctor he brushed you off, “i’ll just sleep it off.”

you had rolled your eyes at him and while you picked out extra layers for him to sleep in you formed a plan to stop by his secretary’s chambers to advise him to send notice to the doctor before making your way to your own chambers for some much needed rest.

his chamber door was already open when you arrived and you’re shocked to already see his secretary and the doctor in the room. you knew simon wouldn’t have just “slept it off” and that he would have just woken up even worse off than he was last night and grumpy. but seeing that he was being poked and prodded so early in the morning by his doctor and having his ear talked off by his secretary had you letting out a heavy sigh before stepping into the room.

“oh, simon.” you whispered, voice laced with pity as you took in his ill appearance, face pale and clammy as you approached his bed.

“oh, nice of you to finally join us.” his secretary quipped in a pissy tone.

“watch it.” simon tried to warn but his voice was choked and raspy. he had gotten worse throughout the night, most likely up coughing. he must be so tired and sore.

the doctor just ignores the two men, instead turning to you with a smile,”good morning, my dear.” he was an older gentlemen, having taken care of simon throughout his entire rule as king. you liked him, he respected you and took none of simon’s shit. “i’m very glad you sent for me, our highness has a substantial fever and there’s a rattling in his chest when he coughs that i’m not particularly fond of.”

before you can respond to the doctor, simon’s secretary is cutting in, “well, sir, it was actually me who sent for you.”

“if it wasn’t for her you wouldn’t even know that i was fucking sick, now would you?” even with one of his muscled arms flung over his face simon was still able to spit venom.

you couldn’t stop a satisfied smile from tugging at your lips. the secretary has never cared for you and you in turn had never cared for him.

“alright, i’ve seen enough.” the doctor sat up from simon’s bed, ignoring the secretary completely to reach into his bag for a vial of a thick dark liquid. “he should take this syrup once this morning and once before bed. he’ll need lots of fluids and even more rest. i trust that he’s in good hands.”

you couldn’t help but blush, you had always taken pride in your work with simon despite all the rumors swirling around the castle, and it felt good to have someone recognize it. “thank you, sir. and thank you for coming on such short notice, hopefully with your help simon will be better soon.”

after giving well wishes to simon the doctor was off and it was just simon, the secretary, and you left in the room. you looked at him expectantly and when he made no motion to leave you two alone you reminded him, “well, the doctor said he needed rest.”

the secretary cut his eyes between you and simon before finally objecting, “well, your highness, what about all of your appointments today? you a meeting regarding the peace treaty with-”

“cancel them!” simon barked. “does it look like i’ll be making an appearance anywhere today, you twat?”

you never really liked it when simon got mean like this, reminded you too much of your separate classes and ranks within the castle. but right now, you were enjoying his little display of power.

“but, but-” the secretary balked, “what if i go in your absence, sir?”

“fine,” simon conceded, “anything to get you out here. and just take notes.” he added.

“thank you, sir.” the secretary seemed elated at this opportunity. you had always thought of him as a little weasel, sticking close to simon just to climb his way up in the royal court. simon kept him around simply because he couldn’t be arsed to find a replacement for him. “i won’t let you down.”

and with that, it was finally just the two of you. you walked the few steps to the end of his bed, taking in his large figure hidden underneath blankets and shawls. “what am i going to do with you, your highness?”

“feel like my heads going to split in two, love.” he complained.

“aww,” you teased, “would the baby like a cold cloth for his forehead?”

he pulled his arm away from his face just enough for you to see his eyes. you could tell he was taking his time trying to come up with a response. you were prepared for him to come back with something equally as childish as your teasing was but instead he just sagged his shoulders and said, “yes, please.”

you walked to his bathroom with a smile on your face and a warm, fluttery feeling in your chest.

goin pure postal etc

[im-not-getting-paid-for-this]

*shows up late* So I am here what do you need from me?

- @the-prettiest-flower

I see what you were trying to do, but unfortunately for you, time is irrelevant here. You can never show up late, a sadistic smile grew on their face as pain sparkled in her eyes.

Anyway! Today's latest scandal shall be... Zeus. Huh. Not surprised. *Starts walking*

[post-grammatic-stress]

I'm an unaffiliated voter in a purple state, in a deep red county, with mail in voting.

I just received a letter that my voter registration has been "rendered inactive" because my mail carrier marked my ballot "undeliverable" for the primary two months ago.

My address has not changed in 11 years. My registration has not changed since 2016. All my other mail has arrived recently. I had double checked my registration that very month, and all was good.

I have to re-register to fucking vote AGAIN. Because my mail carrier, a person I've never met, UNREGISTERED ME.

All this to say: if you live in a state that mails ballots, stay on top of when you're supposed to receive it. If you don't get it, start making phone calls and get it figured out before election day. In my state, you can register to vote day of and still vote in person.

Don't let fuckery of any kind prevent you from voting.

He doesn’t really need her, does he? It doesn’t matter what really happened when he’s already making sure that the world knows his story

Drew bloody business woman Gerard bc I've been having an MCR obsession lately (mainly with the swarm tour)

Autistic rambling under the cut

MCR is legitimately one of my favorite bands and I've heard a fair bit of their songs but now I've been actively trying to listen to all of them. And even tho I've really liked MCR and Gerard for a while now, what mainly started this obsession was @strange-aeons video about the swarm tour that I watched for the first time the other day. That video is also responsible for me knowing more MCR history bc I have never actively looked for it before and it would be difficult for me to keep up with it considering the band was formed before I was born and I didn't start listening to their songs until I was 12.

In summary, I really think that their band is great and that Gerard is an amazing and very inspiring human being 🖤. I would say more on the subject but I'm not very good at describing things so for anyone interested, I highly recommend Strange's video on the swarm tour.

Can I ask Aigou something? If so then...

You finally meet "the needy lunch date". What do you think about Macaque? Do you approve? Do you think he's the one for mayor? Will Public Relations do anything about it?

I love the start of S3E15, the uncomfortableness you can see on Bess while she is in with Andrada. Then the "oh I messed up" expressions she has after then cutting to the phone call with Dalton. His joke about the punch while Russel is in the back trying not to laugh only to call it badass seconds later.

Like, we spent so much time watching Russell be annoyed with her instincts and her responses and going against the grain. And of course it makes sense for her to immediately understand that breaking the President's nose is not good for diplomacy. This woman's mind went from "protect, defend" with his touch to a million train thought process (yes including "did he really just do that?!" Being in there) because she knows what is coming. Expecting some sort of lecture with the let's fix it discussion plan.

Only for Conrad Dalton and Russell Jackson to 100% be behind her defending herself despite the diplomacy explosion and all knowing what it means. Like .... I just love that they are happy to resolve this because - no, no you don't just to put your hands on her in that way without consent.
