Charles + Javier intimacy HCs?

Intimacy HC ft. Charles Smith, Javier Escuella

I was in a silly, goofy mood writing these

Warnings: none

Charles Smith

He is such a malewife

Will do absolutely everything for you so you don’t have to lift a finger

Thinks there is no better way to show his love and devotion for you than to do everything you ask of him

Would wipe your ass if you so much as joked about it

Would be more than happy to be a provider, but I can see him being a stay at home husband who does all the cooking and cleaning while you bring home a six figure salary

PRINCESS TREATMENT ONLY

Makes you so many gifts and is such a gentleman

Helps you on and off your horse, opens doors for you, helps you get seated, gives you his coat if you’re cold

Type of guy to carry you over a large puddle, it's very theatrical

If he naps on you good luck because you are not escaping until he wakes up

His arm alone is enough to keep you in place, and if he feels you trying to move away his arm will act as an iron band and pull you closer

You will never need a blanket again because he’s a goddamn furnace

I feel like he’d take the blanket from you entirely when you sleep together tho

Oh my god I just know he snores like crazy

It's a 5050 on whether or not you’re getting sleep that night. And if he’s snoring directly into your ear then good luck moving away

If you do manage to sleep before him then you will get the best sleep of your life

His biceps and pecs are the best pillows too

Javier Escuella

NOW he’s the type of guy to take his jacket off and set it over a puddle so you can step over it

If there’s rain then he’s covering you only with it while he gets drenched

Insists it’s romantic

Is attached to you by the hip

Is actually super romantic when the time calls for it, totally takes your breath away

Does that thing where he kisses your knuckles and traces it up your arm

Modern Javier would buy you a ramo buchón (Google it) and serenade you

Y'all are the best dressed couple around hands down

Inflates your ego sooo much. Whenever there's someone you don't like he'll begin listing reasons why you're better than them and how you shouldn't worry yourself with them

Spends time braiding your hair or putting flowers in it

His pupils turn to hearts when he sees you istg

Writes entire songs for you and about you

When y'all nap together it's you on his chest while he wraps an arm around you and keeps another behind his neck

WILL NOT move if you sleep on him, even if he has to piss like crazy. He'd rather get kidney stones than disturb your peace

Every time he goes on a mission he peppers your face with kisses and fully embraces you once he comes back

Always talks about having kids with you and starting a family together

Will whisper plans for you future together to soothe you as you fall asleep

Modern Javier would invite you to every carne asada and quinceañera and dance with you

Re: oc ask meme

Roots for Immy!

Thank you so much! <3

roots: Is your OC's look inspired by any specific style of clothing or fashion trend? What are the roots and/or inspiration for their look?

Immy's base style is inspired by fairytale princess looks - think disney or storybook! Poofy sleeves and skirts, petticoats, crinolines, lace and lots of layers. I also like using quinceañera, 1850s (european), and rococo silhouettes for her. Ofc all in pink lol - it's not necessarily historically accurate for DA or any medieval eras, it's the fantasy of it. It's very indulgent.

Stuff like this!

For more modern settings, it's a mix of bubblegum pop, Barbie-esque, lolita, and shabby princess (term coined by creator apriljxo!) So...cutesy, hyper-feminine and very colorful. Ofc, pink is the main color, followed by lavender and golden yellow or mustard, very dawn sky.

Immy wears largely skirts and dresses, and even in a modern setting there's a lot of poofy silhouettes ^_^ <3

Modern AU Tomo would discover Natland's tradition on making a QUINCEAÑERA for young girls that turn fifteen and Tomo would want to make one for Tama ( though the introvert baby Tama would be against it ). They want the best quince PARTY for their daughter and of course, with the most extravagant dress they can hopefully afford !

Limousine for a Quinceañera: Making Your Day Memorable

Turning 15 is one of the most important milestones for a young lady. It is a time when she will begin to make that transformation from being a little girl to growing into a woman. With much detailed work, even the minor thing related to the Quinceañera is taken care of. The dress, the venue, the guest list, and certainly the means of transportation—and here is where a Limousine for a Quinceañera comes into place. A limousine can enhance your Quinceañera, really making your special day that much more special with a touch of elegance and class.

Why a Limousine for a Quinceañera?

Elegance and Prestige: The day is about the guest of honor being made to feel like royalty on her Quinceañera, and the best way for a grand entrance is in a limousine. The sleek, luxurious design of a limousine adds a level of sophistication that complements the formality and significance of the event.

Comfort and Space: Limousines are roomy, thus offering ample space for the Quinceañera and her damas and chambelanes. Everyone can ride in style, being comfortable and not crowded, on the way to the church, photo shoot locations, and the reception area. This can make for a fun part of the ride.

Professional and Dependable Service: One thing that's for sure with a limousine rental is the professional service. Experienced chauffeurs have to undergo training that ensures a tension-free experience, getting one to their various destinations on time. This helps the Quinceañera and her family to focus their attention on the events of the day, rather than on the transportation logistics.

Luxury amenities: Modern-day limousines are replete with a wide range of different luxury amenities, from state-of-the-art sound to mood lighting and refreshments. These only serve to make the ride to and from even more exciting, creating an event in itself. You may enjoy listening to your favorite songs or simply take quiet moments before the celebration begins; a limousine sets up the right surroundings.

Photo Opportunities: The limousine is not only transportation; it can be a great photographic backdrop. Whether the Quinceañera steps out of the limo or with her court, the limousine adds elegance to each photo taken. These photos are cherished memories that capture the magic of the day.

Personalized: Most limousine services offer the chance to change the vehicle according to the theme or colors of the Quinceañera. From inside above decorations to exteriors decorated according to your ideas, this means the ideas now will truly be your own—the idea that each detail of your special day is just the way you pictured it.

Making Memories: The Quinceañera is a once-in-a-lifetime event and should be as memorable in every part of the day. Riding in a limousine provides an extra special sense of occasion and fun to make it all the more extraordinary. A memory with close friends and family traveling together in style will be remembered for a long time.

How to Choose the Right Limousine Service

Check Reviews and Testimonials: Look out for limousine service providers in your locality and see the reviews left by past clients. It gives you an estimate of the quality and type of experience to expect from the company.

Early Booking: Quinceañeras are among the most in-demand events; thus, limousine services tend to book early especially during high seasons. This means that you want to book your limousine several months before just to make sure that, first, your service provider is available.

In-Person Limousine Visit: When it's possible, take a physical trip to where the limousine you hope to use is and get to ensure it's proper in shape for the role it's going to play at your Quinceañera. You'd definitely want to get a look at how clean, comfortable, and suitably fitted with the amenities it is for your Quinceañera.

Discuss Itinerary With your limousine service, give the proper rundown of your itinerary: times for pickup and drop-off times, all other needs you may have. This, for sure, will give a clear platform for all to run smoothly.

Conclusion

Indeed a Quinceañera, by itself, should be celebrated in style; add a limousine to the ambiance, and the occasion is taken to an even classier and more elegant level. From making the perfect entrance to the comfortable, enjoyable ride, picking a limousine for your Quinceañera makes certain that your day is as special as you have always dreamed. With professional service, high-class amenities, and the ability to design lifelong memories, a limousine is more than just a traveling amenity; it becomes part of the celebration.

[zadr-obsessed]

Do I think a lot about Gaz having a quinceañera because I loved having mine and therefore I want her to have one? Yes. Do I think about the gang dancing to reggaetón, cumbias, norteñas, and Luís Miguel? Yes! Am I dying to get to the quinceañera in my fic, even tho i still haven’t updated it in months? Yes!!! Anyways have Zim, Dib and Gir dancing to Mexico’s Sun, Luis Mi

Also Zim and Dib dancing as we call it “abrazaditos” (hugging) to “La Chona”

Also a Gir sleeping in the chairs using Dib’s suit as a blanket, because it’s inevitable

And Gaz in a Quinceañera dress (I went for a more modern style, so it’s not like a classic quinceañera dress)

My mental health is keeping me from drawing digitally because it’s more effort but I can still make paper sketches, so expect to see more of them.

Quinceañera dress designs for Star! The first one is more of a traditional-inspired design and the blue one is more of a modern deisgn

Star would probably wouldn’t want a quinceañera but she knows her parents are planning one so she goes along with it. By the end. she’s glad that she had one

[littlemix-styleblog]

Ok so here’s the deal, maybe you can help me cuz I’m stumped, but my friends sister is having a quinceañera and the them they chose was Victorian masquerade. I’m having trouble finding any dress that fits the theme doesn’t overshadow the birthday girl and is also modern enough to where it doesn’t look like a costume.

Ok So I managed to find quite a few that are similar, identical or a slight alternative.

Unforgettable Quinceañera in the DMV Area: Ideas, Traditions, and Budget-Friendly Tips

Celebrating a quinceañera is a cherished tradition that marks a young girl's transition from childhood to womanhood. It's a momentous occasion that brings together family, friends, and the community to honor this milestone. If you're planning a quinceañera in the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia) area, there are countless ways to make the event special, even on a budget. From understanding the traditional elements to finding the perfect venue and incorporating modern touches like a photo booth, here’s how to plan an unforgettable quinceañera in the DMV area. The Significance of a Quinceañera A quinceañera is a deeply rooted cultural tradition celebrated in many Latin American communities. It’s more than just a party; it’s a rite of passage that symbolizes a young girl’s coming of age. Traditionally, the celebration begins with a religious ceremony, often a Catholic Mass, where the quinceañera gives thanks and receives blessings for her future. Following the religious service, a festive reception is held, complete with dancing, feasting, and various symbolic rituals. Key elements of the quinceañera include: - The Dress: The quinceañera dress is one of the most important aspects of the celebration. It’s usually an elaborate, ball gown-style dress that makes the young woman feel like a princess. Many girls choose a dress in white or pastel colors, though some opt for bolder shades. - The Court of Honor: The quinceañera is typically accompanied by a court of honor, which includes her closest friends and family members. The court often consists of 14 girls (damas) and 14 boys (chambelanes), representing the quinceañera's 14 years of life. - The First Dance: One of the most memorable moments is the quinceañera’s first dance, usually a waltz with her father. This symbolizes her first dance as a young woman and is often followed by a choreographed group dance with her court. - The Changing of the Shoes: This tradition symbolizes the transition from childhood to womanhood. The quinceañera changes from flat shoes to high heels, often assisted by her father or another significant male figure. - The Last Doll: Another symbolic moment is when the quinceañera receives her last doll, representing the end of her childhood. Affordable Venues in the DMV Area Finding the perfect venue is a crucial part of planning a quinceañera, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. Here are some affordable yet charming locations in the DMV area where you can host your celebration: - Local Community Centers: Many community centers in the DMV area offer event spaces at a fraction of the cost of traditional venues. These spaces are versatile and can be decorated to fit your quinceañera theme. Some options include the Takoma Park Community Center in Maryland and the Arlington Mill Community Center in Virginia. - Parks and Outdoor Spaces: If you're planning a spring or summer quinceañera, consider hosting the reception in a park or outdoor space. The DMV area has beautiful parks like Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C., and Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Virginia. Outdoor venues often require permits, but they can be a budget-friendly option, especially if you’re willing to get creative with decorations. - Church Halls: Since many quinceañeras begin with a religious ceremony, consider holding the reception in the church hall. These venues are often more affordable, and you can easily transition from the ceremony to the celebration. Many churches in the DMV area have spacious halls available for rent. - Historic Homes or Mansions: While it may seem counterintuitive, some historic homes or mansions in the DMV area offer affordable rental rates for events. Places like the Woodlawn Manor Cultural Park in Maryland or the Carlyle House in Virginia provide a beautiful backdrop for a quinceañera without the high price tag. - School or University Halls: Many schools and universities rent out their halls for events, especially during the summer months. These venues are often spacious and well-equipped, making them ideal for a large quinceañera celebration. Incorporating a Photo Booth for Lasting Memories One of the best ways to capture the joy and excitement of your quinceañera is by incorporating a photo booth into your celebration. A photo booth adds an element of fun, allowing guests to take home a piece of the event while creating lasting memories. Here’s why a photo booth from Bmore Photos is a perfect addition to your quinceañera: - Interactive Entertainment: A photo booth provides entertainment for guests of all ages. With fun props, themed backdrops, and the opportunity to take unlimited photos, it’s a hit with everyone from young cousins to grandparents. - Customizable Experience: At Bmore Photos, we offer customizable photo booth experiences that can be tailored to match your quinceañera theme. Whether you want a backdrop that complements your dress, props that reflect your hobbies, or a personalized photo strip with your name and event date, we’ve got you covered. - Instant Keepsakes: Guests will love the instant prints they receive from the photo booth. These photo strips serve as a memento of your special day, something they can treasure long after the party is over. - Digital Sharing: In today’s social media-driven world, sharing photos online is a must. Our photo booths allow guests to instantly share their photos on social media, spreading the celebration beyond the venue. - Affordable Packages: We understand that planning a quinceañera can be expensive, which is why we offer affordable photo booth packages. Our services are designed to fit within your budget while still providing high-quality entertainment. To book a photo booth for your quinceañera, contact us at 443-762-4393 or visit our website at bmorephotos.com. You can also explore our services specifically for the DMV area at photoboothdmv.com. Modern Twists on Traditional Elements While honoring the traditional aspects of a quinceañera is important, there’s also room to incorporate modern twists that reflect the quinceañera's personality. Here are some ideas to consider: - Themed Parties: Beyond the classic princess or fairy tale theme, consider a more personalized theme that resonates with your interests. Whether it’s a Hollywood glam theme, a vintage-inspired event, or a tropical paradise, the options are endless. - Interactive Stations: Set up stations that allow guests to engage in different activities, such as a DIY cupcake decorating station, a candy buffet, or a DIY craft station where guests can create their own party favors. - Video Montage: Create a montage showcasing the quinceañera's life journey so far. This can be played during the reception, adding a sentimental touch to the celebration. - Personalized Favors: Instead of traditional party favors, consider giving guests something more personalized. Custom items like monogrammed keychains, engraved picture frames, or even personalized photo strips from the photo booth can serve as unique keepsakes. Planning a quinceañera in the DMV area offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity, allowing you to create a celebration that’s both meaningful and memorable. By choosing an affordable venue, incorporating a photo booth from Bmore Photos, and adding personalized touches, you can host a quinceañera that honors your heritage while reflecting your individual style. Remember, the most important part of a quinceañera is the celebration of a young girl’s journey into womanhood, surrounded by those who love and support her. With careful planning and a bit of creativity, your quinceañera in the DMV area will be an event that everyone will remember for years to come. Read the full article

Too Damn Proud - S.R (2/5)

Summary: The man was born with two left feet, but damn could he steal a heart. (Modern/Dancing AU! Reader/Steve Rogers)

Prompt:  “Is now a good time to confess my love or should I come back in a week?”

Masterlist

A/N: This is for @whiskeybucky‘s writing challenge. i am sorry in advance if anybody gets Quinceañera flashbacks towards the end of this chapter because that was pretty much me towards the end. 

Feedback is always appreciated.

Part 1 

Mondays and Thursdays from 6 to 7pm with at least 24 hrs advance notice before rescheduling, is what Steve agrees with the dance instructor over the phone.

He doesn’t tell Sam, but Bucky had overheard the ending of the phone call and as his shift ends and Bucky’s begins, the older man can’t help but smirk.

“Good luck, Stevie,” the dark-haired man grins probably remembering his own times trying to teach the blond how to dance and silently praying for his new teacher, while patting Steve on the back as he heads to Queens with a nervous excitement running through his veins. It takes him a good 30 minutes to find the street where the studio is located, on top of a warehouse with some swing music playing loudly from one of the windows.

“Here it goes, Rogers,” Steve breathes, taking two steps at time. By the time he is at the front door, welcome by a sign and a dark-haired woman, the music has stopped though there is still an abundance of laughter and talking. He takes a deep breathe before stepping forward to the tight-lipped woman.

“H-Hi,” he manages to stutter out as dark eyes flicker with amusement for a moment,”Steve Rogers, coming in for dance lessons.”

“Your first session, I’m guessing?” she asks before introducing herself as Maria, the receptionist and everything else of Dancing All Night Studio.

“That obvious, huh?” Steve lets out a nervous laugh.

“Yes, but you came to the right place,” Maria nods, as some young girls come out from the hallways. Some wave goodbye to Maria, others are sending curious gazes towards Steve. However, before any of them can ask him anything, his name is being called by a woman wearing a black form fitting top, leggings, and a brightly colored sash tied around her hips with her hair pulled back. You smile before asking.

“Steve Rogers, I presume,” you ask as he nods. You motion for him to follow you down the hall after telling Maria she can start locking up, “I hope you brought more comfortable clothes to dance in.”

“Sweats, sneakers, and an old tee. Just as you asked,” Steve motions to the small duffle bag he is carrying and you smile, still completely professional. You stop and motion to a room.

“You can get dressed here,” you point before motioning to the room at the end of the hallway, “I will be waiting there for us to start. Please don’t take long, if not you hiding in the locker room will count as your first class.”

“Have people really done that?” he questions, but you shake your head as a grin breaks out of your professional facade that stops him for a moment.

“Not yet, but I’ve heard stories from Sam,” you explain, as Steve groans before entering the room though all he can hear is your sudden laughter through the paper thin walls.

 6:10 is when you finally start with Steve standing in front of you in comfortable clothing though with an uneasy look on his face. The room is filled with with the dim light of the sun since the summer allows for it a bit longer than usual. The mirror wall to your front and the red brick interior to your back. Your hands on your hips, as you can’t for the life of you help but feel excited about teaching the urban legend that is Steve Rogers due to his inability to dance, according to Sam. Though the teacher side of you tries to be kind, non-judgemental, and patience.

“So, first thing first,” your voice has Steve’s head popping to his left to look at you, waiting, “Why do you want to dance?”

“W-What?” Steve responds. He had been waiting for you to just start telling him how to move, like Bucky had back in high school, not questioning his motives. It caught him off-guard, but it was refreshing in a sense. It wasn’t like you were digging into his innermost thoughts, which always worried him when meeting new people.

“Why dancing?” you repeat again, taking him out of his inner monologue. Blue eyes look towards the mirror in front of him, for a moment staring at a skinny 5’4 kid who could barely be out in this sort of weather without getting some sort of heatstroke. Steve Rogers was lucky to be alive, to have made it this far and maybe this was the first step in enjoying it --survival-- in a different way.

“Never coulda before,” Steve remarks, looking straight at you, “Wanted to try now. Maybe, even dance with a pretty gal.”

“Well, I’ll promise you’ll get to do all that and more!” you exclaim, clapping your hands together as an old Elvis Presley song begins to echo in the room. Steve looks at you in confusion since you two had talked about learning older dances -- swing, the waltz, and such-- before anything else.

“I wanna see how flexible you are first,” you laugh at the horror that slowly disappears on his face as it turns into understanding, “The King’s music is the best to show off those muscles!”    

You move your arms to and for before thrusting your hips forward. You wait for Steve to follow your motions for the rest of the song. One song turns into another as you move around Steve with a huge grin on your face, shaking your hips and twisting around every so often, though your eyes never leave his body as you try to get a sense of how he works -- it was part of your individualized dance curriculum. On the other hand, Steve is a stiff as a board while simply moving back and forth or shuffling his feet. It wasn't until a song from a familiar Elvis movie starts up that he begins to loosen up -- you are quick to take note of it too.

By the end of the session, you are sweating bullets as you hand Steve a cold water bottle, as he just seems to be breathing heavily. You shake your head and let yourself fall gracelessly on a chair nearby.

“So, what do ya think?” you ask, as he gulps the water done in one go and you try not look at his Adam’s apple. He sighs and looks down with a slight smile.

“I think I can do this,” you know he is trying to psych himself up, because nobody is really up for dancing unless they are born for it or have a very extroverted personality -- the one which you have the former of.

“Good, then I’ll see you next Monday,” you smile, as you throw a small towel at him before he bids your goodnight with a sweet and polite smile. There’s a brief fluttering in your stomach and you push it back, fully knowing that this isn’t the time for that.

 The next two sessions go back to your usual structure of explaining what dance you are going to be teaching and doing the steps, as the couple watches on, except since Steve is just one person. This has you with your hand cusped with his and the other on his shoulder. You had stopped the song again because he had stepped on your toe again , but he was making progress.

“I’m sorry. I’ve just had something on my mind,” he tells you, as you turn to look at him with a frown. You motion him to sit down, knowing from experience that you weren’t going to get anywhere if his mind was occupied.

“Well, what’s on your mind?” you ask, as he finally sits down, “A pretty gal?”

“Yeah,” he breathes out like some lovestruck teen, which causes you to quirked an eyebrow “Sharon, and I was thinking about asking her out dancing, but…”

“But?” you echo back his worried sentiments.

“Nat told me she’s really into salsa music,” Steve explains as he scratches the back of his next,”And I’m more--”

“Old fashioned,” you finished, as he gives you a smile in gratitude for finishing his sentence, before you continue, “So, what’s the problem? We could just finish the waltz and change some of the dances we had planned. No big deal.”

“Really?”

“ Really really . You learn how to dance, ask her out, and Steve Rogers gets the gal in the end,” you shrug, unsure of why you feel a hollow ache in your chest for a brief moment, “Maybe, I’ll even choreograph the wedding.”

“Thank you so much,” he grins as you nod, brushing past the stickiness that comes with unknown emotions and getting that stupid, wonderful man to dance without stepping on your goddamn toes.

Modern quinceañeras, like most other traditional rituals have become capitalized in our society. Traditions like the quinceañera making her dress and working with other women to build it are gone. Companies have found ways to make money, and from my past knowledge of quinces I know that family break the bank in order to afford such lavish parties. Pardons are a necessity, people who are connected to the family in some fashion that donate to the party. While it does become a community activity, strengthening the community and supporting local businesses I feel as though larger companies are going to find ways to profit off of them, putting small businesses out of business and turning the tradition into a profitable popular culture norm. Latinos are already the largest minority and becoming larger each year and companies are going to find ways to profit out of that. Changing the culture and traditions of quinceañeras.
