This takes place in espsiode 3

Slowly opening your eyes, raising your arms above your head stretching your muscle, putting your arms down, feeling a strong arm wrapping your hips, pulling you in closer, but Frankie is still sleeping, light snores coming out of him you tuned your body, closer to Frankie. You snuggle up to him, as close where you can feel his breath on you, and you just stare at him, looking at all his features from the almost slipped green du-rag, to his relaxed brows, his long lashes almost touching his cheek, to his beautiful nose, seeing a little peach-fuzz on top his lip, oh his lips they have to be the softest on this god green earth. You raised your arm to his face, slowly graze your thumb across his face, seeing raise and fall of Frankie made you calm, you moved your thumb to his lips, slightly parted, touching his bottom lip, you pull in closer to him, feeling his lips on you was so magical, you peck his lips and continue, Frankie lips push back, biting your lip, you gasp "Oh my god Frankie I thought you were still sleeping." Frankie growls "don't start something, where you don't finish." you giggle "I always finish with you Frankie." He hums "yes you do." "but I have go to the bathroom though." Frankie grins "you could just go right here you know." you roll your eyes "nigga I’m not doing that again and I'm still tired, but I still have go to the bathroom" Frankie grabs your chin "When I get our place I’m gonna make sure you wet the bed every night baby." Frankie kiss you, smooth lips on you, you pull away slowly standing up "I'll be right back." "You better." you kiss him one more time, you put on your shirt and shorts before opening the door, you smell eggs and bacon cooking, passing by the kitchen seeing Jerome cooking the food "good morning y'all." "Good morning, Lexi, aye tell Franklin to come get these eggs." you nod your head continuing to the bathroom, you do your business, you walk back to the bedroom to see Frankie falling back to sleep, you walk over to the bed, slowly touching Frankie stomach, "Frankie you gotta wake up, Jerome made breakfast." he stirs, you leaned down to kiss his lips, feeling Frankie rise up trying to chase your lips, you pull away " see your wake up, come on nigga I'm hungry." Frankie groans putting his feet on the ground, grabbing a pair of sweats in his drawer, putting them on, you both walk into the kitchen, taking a seat at the table.

"Good morning y'all" "morning." you start to eat your eggs and bacon "So how was y'all night?" Louie said "It was good we just chilled and eat some snack while we did that." you smiled to yourself, knowing what really happened last night. "Well, that's good I'm glad y'all had fun." Louie smirks at you, you didn't think you were that loud last night "But I got hella thirsty last night and I accidentally slipped some water on the bed." "Damn nephew I didn't think you were clumsy like that." Jerome chuckles "Yeah it was kind of a big one." Frankie chuckles as well, slowly turning his head to look you with a smirk on his face, as you finish your breakfast, everybody puts their dishes in the sink, Jerome and Louie walk back into their room and you start the wash the dishes out of hospitality, you start putting each dish on the drying rack, as you walk over to the pan grabbing it and putting in the sink to wash it, you see Frankie looking at you "What?" "Nothing I'm just imagining us being together in our own place." Frankie walks over to you while you’re still cleaning the pan almost done with it. You feel Frankie strong arms around you pulling you closer to him, you relax in his hold, both of you start to sway back and forth, Frankie kisses your neck, you melt into Frankie arms pushing your ass against him, you hear footsteps coming into the kitchen "Lexi I know it don't take you that long to wash some damn dishes-." Jerome walks in seeing his nephew kissing up on Lexi, you shut off the water turning to see Frankie a couple feet of away from you "awh shit damn nephew and Lexi I didn't see anything." Frankie smirks "It's aight unc, me and Lexi are together." while Frankie looks at you "Oh shit you tryin' to be me and Louie huh." Jerome laughs "yeah something like that, aye I'm gonna page Lee so I can get my money back." you turn the water back on rinsing off all of the suds of the pan, puttin’ it in the drying rack then turning off the water, you wipe off the water on your shirt, you feel Frankie hand interlocking yours his thumb grazing your hand, turning your head to see Frankie is already looking at you, Frankie kiss your cheek "About time I thought y'all will never together." Louie walks into the kitchen smiling at the both of you "yeah we're goin' steady." being your corny-self giggling at your joke, Jerome and Louie smile at your joke, Frankie pulls away smiling at you.

Frankie walks into the hallway to call Lee "Sup Lee how was the party?" Frankie continues to talk Lee to tell him to come by Jerome’s house that he found a guy name Karvel that's going to help him to get his money back. You walked back into the guest room, looking at all of the family pictures, seeing a picture of baby Franklin and Alton, alton wearing a black beret and a black turtleneck and pants smiling at the camera, Frankie walks into the bedroom, seeing Lexi looking at his baby picture, Frankie stands next you also looking at the picture, your heart shivers knowing what happened to Alton that he's homeless and a drunk, you look at Frankie, seeing his chocolate eyes not being able to read them. "Lee is coming by, he should be here in ten minutes." you nod your head "I should probably call my momma and tell her that I'll be home late I'll say I'm gonna go see that new spike Lee movie I think it's called she's gotta have something?" Frankie laughs at you "You mean she's gotta have it baby." Frankie puts his arm over your shoulder "I ain't gonna be like him, like alton I'll do everything in my power to not end up like him." you hear a knock on the door, it's Lee "Aye franklin openin' up its me." "I'm gonna call my momma, tell Lee to be quiet for me." "Okay baby." you walk over to the house phone to call your momma, you see Frankie opening the door for Lee "My nigga." " Sup man." franklin daps up Lee "aye you gotta keep it down for a minute, Lexi is here and she's about to call her moms." "Oh, shit Lexi I didn't know that your here what's up?" before you call your momma, you hang up the phone and walk over to Lee to hug him, you both do your handshake as you were done you both snap your fingers "I can't believe y'all are still doin' that handshake." "don't hate, appreciate nigga." Lee said, and you join in "yeah nigga." Frankie rolls his eyes, walking towards the guest room to change his clothes, "aye so when did this happen." Lee pointing at you and Franklin "we just started no one knows expect Jerome, Louie, Kev and now you." "Damn Lexi, Kev knew before me and I'm your best friend." Lee almost looking sad, to be the last person to know, you grab Lee shoulders "You are my best friend, Frankie told Kev at the match yesterday, Kev was askin' me where I got my betting money cause he knows I ain't got no job." "it's okay Lexi I ain't mad at you, if you happy then I'm happy, I'm glad that y'all are together." "Thank you lee, and I'll be right back I’m gonna call my momma."

Daling your home phone number, letting it ring a few times, your momma picks up, "Johnson residence." "Hey momma it's me." "Oh, Lexi how are you doin' baby, you ready to come home?" you breathe out your nose "actually me I was thinking that I can go to the movies today the new spike Lee movie is out, shon-shon wants to go see the movie, but I wanna tag along." "Sure, baby if it keeps you away from them boys, then I'm fine with it, but what time are you comin' home?" "Probably after the movie momma, and I'll page you if I need anything I love you momma." "Okay baby, have fun with shon-shon and I love you too." you hang up the phone, walking towards the living room to see Frankie and Lee sitting on the coach waiting patiently. Lee is a wearing a tan 2-piece with a grey undershirt and a pair of white chucks, and Frankie was wearing a grey and black baseball shirt with some dark blue jeans and some black adidas, they both stood up “I’m able to still to stay out I told my momma that I’m seeing the new spike Lee movie with shon-shon.” Lee eyes widened “Lexi you comin’ with us?” you nod your head “I am and it’s better to have four instead of three, you know.” “You think you are ready for the game?” Lee asks “don’t try to talk her out if it Lee I’ve already tried.” licking your lips “that’s right Frankie I’ve already made up my mind.”

You all walk up to Karvel’s place, seeing trash everywhere and and stuff in trees, Lee walks in first through the back gate then Frankie, making sure you stand behind Frankie "The fuck y'all niggas want." "We look for someone that can help us get Lenny and ray-ray man.” Lee spoke “Aye I know them niggas Lenny live off on MLK and Havery I can help y’all out.” a man stood up, wearing a red shirt and jeans and tennis shoes, “The name’s is Karvel, nice to meet y’all, sup little mama.” Karvel smirks down at you, like a grimace smile, Frankie stands in front of you, blocking Karvel from looking at you, kavel laughs lightly punching Frankie “Damn nigga I’m just playin’ y’all niggas can roll with me.” Karvel walks back to grab his keys, walking to his car, you all follow him, Karvel unlocks the car to get in, Frankie opens the door for you, kindly smiling at you, reaching out to touch his shoulder “Thank you baby.’’ “Of course baby.” sliding through the other seat, you put your seatbelt on, Frankie gets in shutting the door, Frankie lays his hand on your thigh, Karvel drives off to Lenny’s house.

Finally stopping in front of Lenny’s house, Karvel shuts off the engine, looking at the house “Lenny lives in there, and ray-ray lives a few blocks from here.” Karvel said “How you know Lenny got the cash?” Frankie said “Oh trust me, Lenny got yo shit man, ray-ray is a bitch.” Karvel said, you look at Frankie, your heart is pounding at your chest, Frankie looked at Lee and nods his head, you all proceed to get out the car, walking up to Lenny’s house “Aye what’s the plan?” Karvel grabs his gun from his waist, cocking it, Lee smiles “Aight.” Frankie grabs your hand to squeeze it, walking up the steps, he moves pass Karvel to bang his fist on the door, Karvel pushes Frankie up against the wall “The fuck is you doin’.” Lee yells out, Karvel pushes Lee the ground, Karvel turns to you, grabbing you by the hair, pushing you up against the door, holding the gun to your head “Aye Lenny openin’ up I got your little bitch out here.” Lenny opens up “Aye man what bitch you talkin’ about?” Karvel pushes you the floor, falling on your knees, Karvel barges in the door, making Lenny stumbled on the ground, Lee and Frankie runs in, Frankie grabbing your hand, pulling you in the house, you stand up closing the door behind you, Karvel pointing his gun in Lenny’s face “Grab the exentison cord homie.” Karvel told lee, flipping over Lenny on his stomach wrapping it around his hands “Tie his ass up.” Lenny spits out “fuckin’ bitches man.” Lenny trying to fight off Lee strength “stop fuckin’ movin’ man.” Karvel grinning “Yeah just like that homie.” Lee tie a knot, securing Lenny from escaping, Lenny chuckles looking up at Frankie “This little nigga again huh, you back for more you thought we fuck you up last time, just wait huh.” Lee and Karvel make Lenny sit up against the wall, Frankie walks into the kitchen to grab a chair, you walk in closer to have Lenny smirking at you “Huh Karvel this is the little bitch you talkin’ about huh.” you walk in closer “Where’s the money Lenny?” Lenny laugh “Bitch you think I’m tellin’ you fuck out of here.” “Fuck you nigga.” you spew out, rolling your eyes, Frankie walks up to you “Let’s look around and try to find my money.”

Karvel walks into the kitchen, looking in the pantry to find a box of apple jacks, Karvel walks back in the living room, taking a seat eating the cereal, Frankie nods his head to start looking for the money, you walk to the couches, moving them out the way, Frankie walks into hallway to the backroom, Lee looks in the kitchen to find the money, everywhere y’all look everywhere and you can’t find it, all three of you ransack the house, books on the floor, bedspread ripped off, Frankie looks in the cabinets in the living room, Lee knocking stuff down, you were looking in dresser, nothing fuck, you walk in the living walking to the tv looking behind it, “Look you, fuckin’ jheri curl lookin’ motherfucker, and aye you too bitch lookin’ like good time motherfuckers.” Frankie walks towards Lenny, glaring at Lenny “Where’s my money man.” “Up your momma’s pussy.” Karvel laughs “Aye franklin I can’t find nothin’.” Lee spoke, Frankie looks at you, shaking your head no “Cause dumbass I don’t keep no fuckin’ money here. ever.” you grab a vhs player, throwing it on the ground, Lee pushes the speaker to the floor “Aww fuck this shit man, aye you some Frankenstein motherfucker, and stop eatin’ my shit.” “Aye what’cha you say to me homie.” “You heard me you ugly motherfucka.” Karvel walks closer to Lenny “Nah actually I didn’t hear you all the way back let me come closer.” Lenny and Karvel arguing back and forth, Karvel puts a sock in Lenny’s mouth and taping it over, Lenny is still talking shit, Karvel walks back to grab a bat, swinging it around smashing the fine China glasses, smashing the table “Aye how much we talkin’.’ “Just couple grand.” knocking hits the door “Aye Lenny that new Stars Wars movie is comin’ out come on let’s roll.” you drop the ground, someone was still knocking the door, Karvel covers Lenny mouth to silence him, “aye man you in there, come the show is about to start… fine miss it I’m out.”

Frankie slowly walks up to the window to see Ray-Ray leaving “Fuck this where’s the money at homie huh.” Karvel said, you rise up from the floor, Karvel takes the bat about to swing on Lenny, Frankie stops him, “Let me holla at him for a second.” “No talk time is over just bust his ass.” Frankie looks at Lee “He can’t tell us a damn thing if he died.” Frankie looks at you, Karvel looking at you and Frankie “God damn man, you soft as baby shit bro.” Frankie looks down, almost looking defeated, Karvel laughs pushing the bat up against Lenny’s head “Aye you hear that you got some soft-served ice cream niggas ass with you bro, some cupcake lookin’ ass niggas, aye you don’t like me eating your food huh I can give something else you will like huh.” Karvel starts humming, backing up humming to a tune of some song, walking back into Lenny’s room "You see that man, you next, now tell me where's my fuckin' money." Frankie walks in front of lenny to take off the tape on lenny’s face you walk in closer "Lenny we can save you the trouble, from getting really hurt." "Fuck you bitch, and fuck all of you, you know what." Lee punches Lenny in the face, with so much force causing blood to slip out of his mouth, Lenny leans forward to spit in Frankie face, he stares down at lenny huffing out a breath out his nose, lifting a hand to wipe off the blood, he walks over to you, putting a hand on your shoulder “you need to leave. Now.” You roll your eyes “ugh Frankie I’m not leaving you that’s out of the question.” Karvel  walks into the room “Aye you know what, fuck this shit homie.” Karvel walks into the kitchen, walking back with a knife “The fuck is this Karvel.” You spoke out. Karvel slices the cords around Lenny body and around his neck, Karvel drags Lenny into the guest room, slamming the door shaking the room.

Your sitting on the coach, covering your ears trying to drown out the yells and grunts coming the back room, Frankie sits next to you, leaning over to you, slightly uncovering your ear “baby you need to leave.Please.” you nod your head slowly  raising up, waving bye at Lee, walking over to the door, Frankie opens the door for you, you walk outside down the stairs to the sidewalk, felling the sun on your face, you hear frankie closing the door behind him and walking towards you “I’m sorry baby.” Frankie puts his arms around you and holding you still “It’s okay Frankie you did know that was going to happen.” “if you wanna go home that’s fine I can page Louie and she can pick you up.” you nod your head “Aye Franklin!” you both turn around to see Karvel walking out of the house, wearing a awful smile, holding a lot of money and stuffing it in his pockets, karvel looks up and down at you “Aye Karvel that’s money.” Frankie standing still in front of you, Karvel chuckles “You’s a bitch man.” Karvel walks to his car and proceeds to drive off, lee walks out to you “Aye Lexi, you good?” you nod “Yeah I’m good, what about you?” “Yeah yeah, you franklin.” “Yeah lee, fuck and now we gotta get my money back now from Karvel.” you put your hand on frankie neck “come on let’s go back to Jerome’s and come up on a plan.” Frankie and Lee nod their head and start walking back to Jerome and Louie’s place.

How the Holidays Became Haunted

In 1891, Jerome K. Jerome wrote, “Whenever five or six English-speaking people meet round a fire on Christmas Eve, they start telling each other ghost stories,” and he was only saying what everyone already knew.

From December to January, newspapers and magazines used to overflow with stories set on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, all about ghost children luring babies outdoors to freeze to death in blizzards, men seeking shelter from blizzards and being attacked by disembodied bones, men sleeping in unused nurseries and being attacked by goblin babies, woman attacked by “deformed idiotic sons” of wealthy families, women attacked by their husbands’ identical twins, women attacked by vampires, women haunted by screaming faces that drive them insane, women cuddled all night by escaped lunatics which drives them insane, priests haunted by possessed clothes that slowly drive him insane, and doctors visited by decapitated lady ghosts who drive them insane. As the British Mental Health Foundation says “Christmas is a time of year that often puts extra stress on us, and can affect our mental health in lots of different ways…”

first lines meme :3

tagged by @whetstonefires

Rules:  Share the first line of your last ten published works or as many as you are able to, and see if there are any patterns

Going through my AO3. Unfortunately, I'm not a very prolific writer (yet!) and most of my writing has been focused on two works; the translated works I can't count, and anything before 2021 I don't want to look at. I'm going to be looking at the first line of each chapter instead. I'm also going to be including the first lines of the newest chapters I'm working on.

1. cathexis; CoD körangi priests AU. A priest returns to the church he was raised in, only to discover a sinister plot at large involving ritualistic murders and mysterious baby disappearances. He joins forces with a man who introduces himself as a Vatican exorcist to solve these mysteries.

“Horangi hyeong.” A small hand tugged at the edge of Horangi’s cassock. “Hyeong-aaaaa.” 

“—margin of between 8 and 10%. Despite this, Bell Motors has experienced a rise of 1.8%, while unprecedented losses of 9.6% have been recorded overnight for competitor K&W Mobility—”

“Okay, this is going to be the last one!” Horangi exclaimed, out of breath.

“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”

(WIP) “We can’t always choose what’s best,” Father Jerome mused. “Sometimes it’s enough to choose the better option.”

2. rays crepuscular (as the sun makes its grave); DSMP vampires/hunters AU. A young vampire hunter deserts his ranks for his best friend, who has been turned into a vampire; they must now escape a city full of powers they can't fight before they are caught up in plots far beyond them.

His best friend lies dying in his arms.

Each tick of the shitty, off-time hotel clock lies in the space between them, every moment stretching and snapping like a rubber band pulled between the thumbs of a bored child in class.

The alleyway that leads to the small abandoned square where its dry, cracked fountain greets him.

I want to tell you a story. It’s about how, a very long time ago, the first vampire came to be.

And a cheer for absolutely fucked up sleep schedules, Tommy thinks distantly, as the incessant ringing of the twin bell alarm clock they’d been provided with in the hotel room reaches through the arms of sweet, sweet slumber and so rudely rattles him.

(WIP) From this day onwards, to the best of my knowledge and abilities, I swear to fulfill this covenant until my last dying breath:

To be honest, I don't think I've been writing enough to be able to derive any kind of meaningful rule from how I open these things. I think I've adopted different styles for each of my more recent works, if only because most of the second one listed here was written before the first.

It may be an unconscious choice on my end, beginning with the tense of each work and including several stylistic differences between the two. But, also, it could just be that my writing style has been evolving over the months I've spent "seriously writing" (or, at the very least, trying to write consistently instead of once a year when inspiration strikes).

Super clearly, with the more recent work I've been writing I've been beginning every single chapter with a line of dialogue. It puts the reader right into the middle of a scene without explaining where this is or what's going on. It does, however, serve to establish or foreshadow some things.

Meanwhile, with the older work. I've begun each chapter with some kind of explanation in most cases? It's a description in the three cases that isn't just someone talking. In the last (unpublished) chapter, the first line after the mantra that the character is chanting is another descriptive line about what the narrative character is doing.

I think I could stand to make the first lines of each chapter shorter and less convoluted in some cases. But then again, the first sentence of a full work as opposed to a chapter within it benefits the work when it's more effective in whatever way you want it to be effective in. Short and concise to be a hook, long and rambling if that serves another purpose. There's so much for me to learn still about writing, but I stand by the belief that anything, if used skillfully enough in writing, can serve a purpose.

Tagging @redactedcrow, @scifimagpie, and... stopping there because I don't have any more writing-prolific mutuals on tumblr. Don't feel pressured to do this. At all.

K1.0 yanked mom’s picture away

Even roaches 🪳 little ants 🐜 don't stand still and be bullied 🐂, 🦵 away and killed WITHOUT TRYING

GOD PUT THAT desperate survival mode inside us

A live dog is better than a dead lion 🦁

GOOD JOB 👏 ON SENDING K1.0, nice concise to the point respectful (by yanking MOM’s picture out and telling me she doesn’t like that and don’t put it back out) Possibly The first time in years she'd ever talked to me. You say hello 👋 no one hears. The F words almost always

https://kjbo.org/Matthew-22-15/ (https://kjbo.org/Matthew-22-15/)

Please 🙏 if someone from the school text me or sent me a note that Mom’s picture outside may hurt K1.0   or her grades. i will not take it out anymore.   While cleaning 🧼 Mom's room one day she'd gone to chiropractor, i noticed and thought k1.0 loves mirrors BUT WHERE TO PLACE IT?

BUT last Wednesday or Tuesday i thought near tv 📺 by front door and i picked it up and it was this latest battle in this war.

I DON’T TRUST YOU‼️

it could be another power 💪 play like the rehearsal Thursday 031424 8:43 WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME even if one of them assaults and i defend myself

Or chiding me for glittering the place NOW HOPEFULLY INSTEAD OF LATE ⏰ FOOD or bishop pastor serge jerome had a more important funeral✝️the storm✝️business ✝️Easter and Christmas 🎅 are the biggest draw 💰

They can complain about glitter on their clothes

2014 “well, she gave you a place to stay” Saturday “well it’s been 9 years,  GO”

Which scares me 😱 to no end when feeds 🆎 how a guy kept slipping his brother's pregnant girlfriend abortion pills 💊 until the baby died and "DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO KILL SOMEONE"

WHICH OF THE 3 CHIPMUNKS WILL GET A BETTER "head" bad words. galore

The list goes on and the bad words and i know that i am likely to call the regulations KGB

Can't @PBCSHERRIF or @FBI @FCC can regulate YouTube, TikTok feeds, contents, age

@highlightPBSO - Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office

FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation

FBI

Federal Communications help us investigate what our kids are watching

Like i said i am exposed here, my food, my water they are of great size and many. That kind of stress wears the heart out.

To be 🆙 watching people whose not in your corner 👀 @4u

Yesterday 1:37 am lights, doors opened,closed

i don’t know who coached K3.0 to sniff and sniff and sitting close to me sniffing UNTIL afternoon the cure come and sniffing stopped and kicking kersaint out did not work. (i briefly passed by library 📚 Planet Fitness 💪

i am impervious to her sniffing now. i have been played too long

One Friday i kept going to car changing skirts because the top that i changed into i think was 1 of K2.0 's old Tshirts

My heart was breaking, and i knew i took a shower the morning

When i came in after Mom’s October Hospital @wellingtonRegionalmedicalCenter 🏥 stay, i WAS AMAZING 1 of GINA’s kids showed feelings. i said ‘you’re giving me a big head’

“'Anti' kersaint is here” i prefer just Kersaint🙏

It turned out you wanted me to go against my beliefs. I WANTED MOM TO GO TO PLANETFITNESS.com 🌎 💪. TO TRY TO DO THINGS FOR HERSELF. I DON’T WANT HER IN BED UNTIL 1 or 3 PM

i don’t want DOROTHY TO COME TO @WELLIMGTONREGIONALMEMORIALCENTER

Wellington Fl to clean 🧼 🧽 mom up

i set up doctors appointments and rides BUT THEY WERE CANCELLED

"MOM HAS PRIVATE CAR"

i want Mom to drive in salem community church of God in their vans 🚐 so she can find newly come Haitian to talk to

Sent from my iPhone 📲

In PSL jeeringly "YEAH🙄YOU HAVE SOMETHINGTO LIVE FOR"

"SUZIE MADE A BIG MISTAKE USING THAT LAPBAND"

Yes, every good move is full of regrets, and possible infections and lots of other meds BUT she knew how she felt and the cost and losses BUT SHE LIKED AND WAS COMFORTABLE WITH THAT BODY

SUZIE just has to find a safer, better alternative (after all these years there must be something safer, fewer side effects)

i believe this verse even before i read it

https://kjbo.org/Ecclesiastes-9-4/ (https://kjbo.org/Ecclesiastes-9-4/)

Since DOROTHY and KATHY are associated with PBC schools 🏫 & programs, if you send me text or email stating remembering her grandmother may "hurt her school work" and she goes to church ⛪️ with her mom until at least the first day of summer 2024... OFF COURSE I WILL GET RID OF MOM's PICTURE LIKE YOU WANT IT

i thought of keeping it until the🆕 owner, realtor or sheriff threatening fines that i cannot pay 💰 or the neighbors complain (not being laminat

ed 😢it looks shabby, messy, and ugly ) YOU TOOK CARE OF MOM in life and THROUGH DEATH. i cannot cry for #MICHAELJACKSON

#SACHATCHADSTEALTHMACHVASHTIMOSEYSACHATCHAD

#MARIEELIARINTUSSDEMOSTHENES who’s going to MEANINGFULLY comfort me and make me stop 🛑 crying 😭 and not go 👎 into depression (forgetting that a live dog is better than a dead lion 🦁) then forget to just keep going keep fighting

i cannot have “a shrine” (it might become idolatrous) BUT i don't want to forget her too like LINDA

Melodic Music Mix: Create the Perfect Playlist for Your Melodic Journey

Welcome to the world of melodic music, where each note carries you on a captivating journey of emotions. Whether you want to unwind after a long day or seek inspiration for your melodic journey, a well-curated music playlist is the perfect companion. Today, let's take you on a fulfilling musical adventure.

When crafting a favorite playlist, the key lies in selecting songs with emotions and creating a seamless flow from one track to another. Begin by identifying the mood you wish to set for your journey – whether it be soothing, uplifting, energetic, or a combination of various sentiments. Once you have a clear direction, explore different genres, such as classical, ambient, electronic, or even instrumental versions of popular songs, to find melodies that resonate with your desired mood.

Consider the tempo and rhythm of each track, as they can greatly influence the overall feel of your playlist. A mix of slow and fast-paced songs can create a dynamic experience, while a consistent tempo can help maintain a sense of tranquility or energy throughout. Feel free to experiment and include songs that may seem unconventional at first. Sometimes, the most unexpected melodic music mix can profoundly impact your journey.

And I thought I had more time but I did not, so at this exact moment it's 8 minutes till xD. So, this will be very short and I'll try and come back to edit it lol.

Anyway, the cases this week were great :'), and I loved all the plotlines!

Now it's time for the individual parts!

Kalu! We didn't see him much this episode, but he was great :). I am a bit scared for him next week though xdd o.o. Anyway! He was great at his job :D! I love him 🥰.

[poisonn-oak]

tw: csa / sa

I haven't felt safe in a non-platonic relationship w a man ever, then this goofy goober waltzed into my life, and I don't throw up when he gets near me, and the butterflies are just that butterflies, no warning bells, safe

I really appreciate how kind and patient he's been, that being said my body feels safe enough to let me process certain things now and over the last couple of weeks I've been coming to terms with being molested as a child

it hit me in the shower a while ago after I had spent the night at cooper's for the first time. that night he asked to kiss me and I panicked because it was never just a kiss, every time someone has kissed me they take it further regardless of how I feel and I started to get really scared so I said no (I said no! that's crazy), he respected my wishes and we practiced me swatting/moving his hand away from me so I could get comfortable doing that- this blew my mind, he was so focused on me being comfortable and respecting my boundaries that we literally practiced just in case I couldn't get words out, like I get the bar is in the floor but I did cry :)

that whole experience shifted something inside of me, (he talked to his therapist abt it and his therapist said that it gave me a missing experience which I agree with), my brain was then like: u now have access to this traumatic memory

I've avoided thinking about it for 22 years, every time it crept up, my spine got tingly and I would start to get anxious. it was a family friend, there was a birthday party, everyone was outside, I just wanted a balloon and he was the only one inside the house, my family doesn't know, we lost touch and don't talk to him anymore, I was 6

for the longest time that memory was blocked, I've always been super uncomfortable with s.a. scenes in movies and books, a lot more than my classmates or friends and could never place why but it makes sense now

I know there was another incident with another person but I'm going to seek EMDR therapy with a trauma specialist to deal with that one because I'm worried abt what I don't remember

I want to tell my mom, I don't know if she would believe me, I think maybe she would, I think it would help her make sense of my actions, I think it would break her a little so I don't think I will, I don't know

I was just a baby

then k*llan happened, and my body just went into shock, I remember caitlan telling me that after him I didn't let them hug me or sit beside me, I didn't even realize that I was doing that, that i hadn't let anyone touch me for nearly 2 years

then jerome, sweet jerome, I remember the first time he tried to kiss me and I threw up, and proceeded to throw up every time he came near me for the first week-ish that I knew him, huge red flag friends, listen to ur bodies!!! this boy also didn't really respect my boundaries

I'm pretty happy with where I am now, I hug everyone, I kiss and hold my loved ones' hands, I lean in to the fact that I love physical touch, it's been wonderful

I will continue to grow and get more comfortable in my own skin, get more comfortable saying no and maintaining my boundaries, I will set fire to anyone who tries to fuck with my body

I deserve to feel safe, always

with love,

arson out <3

Welcome PR to this manic interview of sorts.

Please have 13 questions for 13 perfect chapters of L&OHA wherein I ask about writing craft, OCs, and future headcanons!

* * *

1. How did the idea and concept of L&oha come about?

Where you interested in writing the time travel trope or was there a certain ambience or interaction you wanted to write?

2. How much planning went into plotting the fic especially with all the twists and reveals and withholding of plot points crucial to the understanding of the characters and the readers?

3. What were you most excited to write about when you began this fic?

4. How much research did you do and what was the easiest thing to write about and conversely, the hardest?

Regency clothing? Inventing a magical college at Oxford?Temporspatial travel?

5. The fic is rife and alive with a whole ball of OCs. Can you tell us about their presence/role in the fic, how you came up with them and which one(s) was your favorite and which OC interactions were the most fun to write?

(I love them all, to speak nothing of Grix and Martin, but the little Avery boys and Penelope can have my whole heart)

6. What was the best thing to explore/write about in this dynamic between Hermione and Draco that you created?

Did you giggle and wistfully sigh to yourself when you wrote all that delicious innuendo-chocked banter?

7. Which chapter was the easiest/hardest to write?

(I personally got entrenched in chapter 11 and marveled at the reverse chronological telling and the artful foreshadowing and peeling back of details. The angst in that one severely undid me as well.)

8. Wiltshire in high summer as a rightful character, not to mention Mettleworth College (shout out to Jonathan Gable's forefather  being an Oxford scholar) was a delicious buffet of sensory descriptors. The picnic chapter had some of the most beautiful imagery I've come across ever. This isn't a question but can you tell us about the choice to give these settings their rightful place and glory in the story?

9. Your writing zeros in on the sensory and tactile; it a vibrant landscape of things to be seen, smelt, heard, and felt in the vibrations between hearts. Is this a developed skill or an innate style that's native and unique to each author?

10. How many curly-haired, aran-wearing babies do Draco and Hermione have in the future?

11. Since Theo is an avid Whovian, do you think Draco and Hermione took him with them once or twice on their future time traveling adventures? Or that Draco took him along for lads' night with Martin?

12. What's one takeaway you'd like readers to grasp after reading L&oha?

13. What will you miss most about this story? What's your favorite line/part?

Thank you for partaking in this madness and for sharing your talent, work and wise words with us 💛

Answers under the cut!

1. How did the idea and concept of L&oha come about?

Were you interested in writing the time travel trope or was there a certain ambience or interaction you wanted to write?

I adore To Say Nothing of the Dog, Connie Willis’ love letter to Jerome K. Jerome’s Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), which is also one of my all-time favorite books. I had an idea for an original comedic novel that involved time travel to the Regency era and stupid hijinks. But I’d just started writing (the only story I'd finished at that point was A Dress with Pockets), and had no idea what it would take to write a novel, so this was an experiment messing around with those elements.

2. How much planning went into plotting the fic especially with all the twists and reveals and withholding of plot points crucial to the understanding of the characters and the readers?

I planned the entire fic out on index cards before I started writing. I didn’t know anything about story structure, and I didn’t think to look it up, but thought through all the major beats and organized them all so I knew where each reveal or twist would happen. It was a pretty detailed outline. When I was getting close to finishing, I looked into romance plot structure, and it’s intuitive enough that I’d hit everything right on time, which felt reassuring.

3. What were you most excited to write about when you began this fic?

Everything! It was all still very new. I was excited/nervous to start a project that I anticipated would be around 90k words (it exceeded that mark by quite a bit). I’d read or heard the idea that you need to get one bad novel out of your system before you can write a good one, so I went in with the expectation of: this is the first pancake of the batch, it’s going to be weird and not that great, and I'm fine with that.

4. How much research did you do and what was the easiest thing to write about and conversely, the hardest?

Regency clothing? Inventing a magical college at Oxford? Temporspatial travel?

I did quite a bit of research, especially on Regency clothing, a bit on Regency dining. I spent quite a while figuring out where the entrance to Mettleworth College would be, and I’m so happy with its location even though maybe two readers will ever know or care that you could physically go to that spot. I did very little research on time travel! I settled on a basic set of rules that is pretty elegant and easy to understand and used a lot in fiction. I like Connie Willis’ time travel rules, and the idea of loops or an immutable past fits with the way Time Turners appear to work in the HP universe pre-Cursed Child.

5. The fic is rife and alive with a whole ball of OCs. Can you tell us about their presence/role in the fic, how you came up with them and which one(s) was your favorite and which OC interactions were the most fun to write?

(I love them all, to speak nothing of Grix and Martin, but the little Avery boys and Penelope can have my whole heart)

I’m so happy you like Penelope! My little grump. I knew D & H would meet an entire cast of OCs in the past, and they sort of sprang up fully fledged and ready to interact in my imagination. I love all of them. Martin and Grix in particular are so precious to me. The entire fic was worth writing just so they could exist and live out a story. It was a joy to write little boys as the most chaotic, comedic version of how I know six and seven year-old kids and toddlers to be, just sweet little gremlins. All the OCs have different, interesting relationships and interactions, but I especially loved writing Penelope and Sir Thomas. She’s so done with him, and adores him so deeply, and he’s heart-eyes forever for his wife and all of his kids. He doesn’t just laugh off her cynicism, he loves it because he loves her.

6. What was the best thing to explore/write about in this dynamic between Hermione and Draco that you created?

Did you giggle and wistfully sigh to yourself when you wrote all that delicious innuendo-chocked banter?

I really enjoyed throwing Hermione so far off-kilter. She’s a mess! That was a huge part of the joy for me, yanking on all the loose ends she’s kept carefully tied up. Draco’s relatively cool and pulled together, letting this bizarre adventure unfold, basking in this golden hour he’s inadvertently stolen with the woman he loves, not in any real hurry to leave. I loved that after they first make out after his injury, they’re never able to go back. They’re like magnets, they need to touch. Their languid mornings together were delightful to write. A mix of satisfaction and yearning with beautiful intimacy, some of their best banter done while tangled up together fighting this thing they don’t actually need to fight. Sigh.

7. Which chapter was the easiest/hardest to write?

(I personally got entrenched in chapter 11 and marveled at the reverse chronological telling and the artful foreshadowing and peeling back of details. The angst in that one severely undid me as well.)

The earlier chapters were easier; I was newer to writing, not yet going, "I can't believe I'm still writing this," they were much shorter, the flashbacks hadn’t kicked in. Chapter 11 took a lot of planning, and I felt anxious about how it would be received. You don’t have a romance plot without the “all is lost” moment, but it’s still nerve wracking, especially since the fic started out so light and worked up to angst that's actually pretty real and raw. That chapter is where time kicks into high gear as an element, and I wanted the reverse chronological structure to emphasize the sense of bewilderment and displacement Hermione feels.

8. Wiltshire in high summer as a rightful character, not to mention Mettleworth College (shout out to Jonathan Gable's forefather being an Oxford scholar) was a delicious buffet of sensory descriptors. The picnic chapter had some of the most beautiful imagery I've come across ever. This isn't a question but can you tell us about the choice to give these settings their rightful place and glory in the story?

My idea was that they’ve entered a moment apart; they’re not in Kansas anymore. We know within a couple chapters that Draco’s head over heels; the real trick was to get the POV character to admit to herself that she was in love. Every little stupid mishap, all the outlandish twists of fate, the scenery itself all conspires to break her down. I wanted people reading to feel alongside Hermione; I wanted the story to be palpable. We all know how delicious it is to sit in the sun on a mild summer day, that stupefying effect. Everything slows, we become more pliable. Hermione’s drawn along relentlessly by comfort, peace, delight…getting out of her head and into her body, sinking into love like it’s a warm bath. I wanted that to be felt as much as possible.

9. Your writing zeros in on the sensory and tactile; it a vibrant landscape of things to be seen, smelt, heard, and felt in the vibrations between hearts. Is this a developed skill or an innate style that's native and unique to each author?

I apparently naturally write this way, probably because I’m a visual-spatial thinker, but I’m sure it can be developed! I enjoy a lot of sensory detail when I read. One of my favorite books is Charlotte’s Web, and E.B. White wrote very sensually. Absolutely gorgeous work. When I write, it’s all vivid in my mind; I can walk through the cottage, sit at the table. My goal for future writing is to pick the details that pack the most punch and carry their weight in the narrative; sometimes you can/should do less, sometimes more. In this case the physical environment was part of the story, so I just went for it.

10. How many curly-haired, aran-wearing babies do Draco and Hermione have in the future?

One more than Hermione plans for, and she’s absolutely fine with that.

11. Since Theo is an avid Whovian, do you think Draco and Hermione took him with them once or twice on their future time traveling adventures? Or that Draco took him along for lads' night with Martin?

I love this idea so much. My fic Peppermint Twist is not-so-secretly set in this AU, and a Theo-Luna-Martin interaction would be incredible.

12. What's one takeaway you'd like readers to grasp after reading L&oha?

It’s a goofy, often absurd story that about something real: good people falling irrevocably in love without meaning to, under circumstances that aren’t ideal, and trying to be decent about it. And it's my first pancake, so I appreciate all your kind words more than I can say.

13. What will you miss most about this story? What's your favorite line/part?

I miss Martin and Grix very much. And my favorite line is the end! I wrote it ages and ages ago, and really wanted to get there, and I’m so glad I did.

Thank you for partaking in this madness and for sharing your talent, work and wise words with us 💛

Thank you so much for asking these amazing, thoughtful questions! This was a pleasure.

I hope that wherever Jerome K. Jerome is now that he’s proud of how prescient he was.

“To go back to the carved-oak question, they must have had very fair notions of the artistic and the beautiful, our great-great-grandfathers.  Why, all our art treasures of to-day are only the dug-up commonplaces of three or four hundred years ago.  I wonder if there is real intrinsic beauty in the old soup-plates, beer-mugs, and candle-snuffers that we prize so now, or if it is only the halo of age glowing around them that gives them their charms in our eyes.  The “old blue” that we hang about our walls as ornaments were the common every-day household utensils of a few centuries ago; and the pink shepherds and the yellow shepherdesses that we hand round now for all our friends to gush over, and pretend they understand, were the unvalued mantel-ornaments that the mother of the eighteenth century would have given the baby to suck when he cried.

Will it be the same in the future?  Will the prized treasures of to-day always be the cheap trifles of the day before?  Will rows of our willow-pattern dinner-plates be ranged above the chimneypieces of the great in the years 2000 and odd?  Will the white cups with the gold rim and the beautiful gold flower inside (species unknown), that our Sarah Janes now break in sheer light-heartedness of spirit, be carefully mended, and stood upon a bracket, and dusted only by the lady of the house?

That china dog that ornaments the bedroom of my furnished lodgings.  It is a white dog.  Its eyes blue.  Its nose is a delicate red, with spots.  Its head is painfully erect, its expression is amiability carried to verge of imbecility.  I do not admire it myself.  Considered as a work of art, I may say it irritates me.  Thoughtless friends jeer at it, and even my landlady herself has no admiration for it, and excuses its presence by the circumstance that her aunt gave it to her.

But in 200 years’ time it is more than probable that that dog will be dug up from somewhere or other, minus its legs, and with its tail broken, and will be sold for old china, and put in a glass cabinet.  And people will pass it round, and admire it.  They will be struck by the wonderful depth of the colour on the nose, and speculate as to how beautiful the bit of the tail that is lost no doubt was.

We, in this age, do not see the beauty of that dog.  We are too familiar with it.  It is like the sunset and the stars: we are not awed by their loveliness because they are common to our eyes.  So it is with that china dog.  In 2288 people will gush over it.  The making of such dogs will have become a lost art.  Our descendants will wonder how we did it, and say how clever we were.  We shall be referred to lovingly as “those grand old artists that flourished in the nineteenth century, and produced those china dogs.”

The “sampler” that the eldest daughter did at school will be spoken of as “tapestry of the Victorian era,” and be almost priceless.  The blue-and-white mugs of the present-day roadside inn will be hunted up, all cracked and chipped, and sold for their weight in gold, and rich people will use them for claret cups; and travellers from Japan will buy up all the “Presents from Ramsgate,” and “Souvenirs of Margate,” that may have escaped destruction, and take them back to Jedo as ancient English curios.”

That’s from Three Men in a Boat, published in 1889.
