Ok, even MORE MORE Yasammy headcanons. This one's gonna be a little more lighthearted, but I'm happy everyone is enjoying my more "mature" headcanons, I do have some more ideas for the future, but for this one I'm just gonna jot some things down and you guys can tell me your favorites or what you want more of.

*Yaz was initially hesitant about living in Texas, with the heat, the humidity, the creepy crawly little animals, (scorpions, tarantulas, etc...). But when she told that to Sammy, and Sammy immediately was prepared to move somewhere else with her, Yaz decided to stay.

* Sammy's favorite game is checker's (I'm referring to the actual game, not when the two of them "play checkers", tho she enjoys that as well. Look at my other headcanons if you're confused).

*For their anniversary, Yaz got Sammy a Rottweiler puppy that a shelter had found in a box in the rain. Sammy must have kissed Yaz 46 times she was so excited.

*On the farm they raise animals and vegetables mostly for food for themselves as well as to sell at markets and restaurants. But they always donate to the food bank as well.

*They both took the same knitting class online without the other knowing so they could make Christmas gifts for each other. Sammy made Yaz a sweater with a smiley face, and Yaz made Sammy some mittens with cows on them.

*Yaz is afraid of water, after her whole thing about almost drowning when the scorpius chased her (and almost drowning in Ben's van). So Sammy got her a rubber duck floaty, like those things that go around your waste in the water, but as a rubber duck. Sammy didn't think Yaz would actually wear it, it was supposed to be a joke, but Yaz wears it proudly every time she goes swimming even after she gets over her fear of water.

I hope you enjoyed these headcanons, if you want me to do more just let me know. Oh, and tell me which one is your favorite

Tumblr, do you want to see what I was doing at midnight last night? Get your head out of the gutter (I mean, or don’t. You do you, babe). Anyway, I was watching this:

That’s right, a low budget hallmark-esque Christmas movie and this is why you should watch it too:

First, I need to tell you, this movie is not good. You should not go into it with high expectations. This is not Goncharov. It is, however, ridiculously charming. There are 4 important characters (Haley, Kate, the-brother-whose-name-I-don’t-remember, and MeMaw). There are 4 supporting characters (the boss, who in a twist is not evil, the bad guy, the bad guy’s son, and Masonry (the vibe-checker)).

Haley (the woman on the right) is the high powered business executive. Her job duties include: doing important presentations and wrangling social media. Kate (the woman on the left) is the ranch hand with the inexplicably amazing hair. Like, I want her shampoo. The two leads’ hair in this movie is just completely on point.

The brother has some form of East Asian parentage, though it’s never brought up. MeMaw is Lindsay Wagner. None of these people look related. It’s easier to assume that everyone is adopted.

You know this movie is going to be good (bad) when Kate goes off on a horse at the beginning of the movie to fix a broken fence post and she can’t get back to the ranch before nightfall, so she goes to a motel and no one takes into account what happens to the horse. Like, was the horse tied up outside the motel? Did the motel have stables? Do people often ride their horses to the motel so the motel is prepared for these types of situations? We’ll never know.

Anyway, the ranch™️ has fallen on hard times thanks to a bank loan with exorbitant interest rates. They were doing ok by making money off of a Christmas hayride, but the bad guy set up his own hayride to try to drive them out of business where he could buy the ranch. They never say why he wants to buy the ranch so badly, but the important part is they’re trying to take away the family home at Christmas.

So, the brother (IMDb tells me his name is Charles) tries to call Hayley to get her to come home. Hayley blows him off several times before she gives in and heads home. Meanwhile, the start up where she’s working is about to be sold too. This is a good thing. It’s never quite clear what the start up does exactly, but it is something that involves a social media person who Hayley has to fire at the beginning of the movie. So Hayley has a big presentation to do to help with the sale. I’m sure you’ve already figured out how we’re going to Save The Ranch.

Before she goes home, Hayley has a online dating app date with Masonry. It does not go well. It involves a Chilean butterfly naming ceremony. And then Masonry consciously uncouples from the date because it wasn’t passing her vibe check.

Haley gets to town, and for another inexplicable reason, has to stop at a motel for the night instead of going straight home. This is the same motel as the somehow has hidden stables motel that Kate stops at for the night. They both open their dating app and it’s amazing! They actually match with someone in this tiny town in the middle of nowhere! (They match with each other, if that wasn’t clear). They go on an impromptu date at the local watering hole where they lie to each other about who they are until Hayley has an emergency and has to go. A social media emergency. Everyone is like, wtf is a ‘social media emergency?’ Because they’ve never been Eli Lily and had their stock tanked by a fake tweet about free insulin. Suffice it to say, the date ends badly.

Things do not go up from there. Hayley finally gets to the ranch and the first thing she does is suggest firing Kate because she’s too big of an expense never mode that Charles is utterly incompetent at running a ranch and MeMaw can’t do everything alone. Kate, or course, overhears this and is somewhat annoyed. I’m not downplaying that for humorous effect. That’s her actual reaction. “Somewhat annoyed.”

I’m not going to recount the rest of the movie because you should know by now whether or not this is your kind of thing. But there is an “only one bed” scene, and a “can’t get on a horse and needs help” scene and hot chocolate and deer stew and a Christmas hayride. MeMaw is obviously trying to play matchmaker. Haley has a Tragic Past and this leads to the Big Fight.

The leads have more chemistry than they have any right to and that really saves the movie. I legitimately wanted them to kiss every time they were on screen together. Until they actually kissed, which was just…so awkward.

Anyway, I think it was an excellent use of my time and I think you should watch it too. Because these types of movies are not supposed to be good. They are supposed to be charming and make you smile and make you root for the couple, and this movie did exactly that.

Here’s the text part of BOF article (it loses a bit without the pics - especially the ceramic duck!):

Why Harry Styles Fans Can’t Get Enough of Pleasing

The singer’s nail polish brand isn’t following the usual celebrity beauty brand playbook, where “authenticity” and newness are key. When your fans are this rabid, it turns out none of the usual rules apply.

NEW YORK – Grace Daniels, 19, owns 17 bottles of nail polish from Pleasing, Harry Styles’ beauty and lifestyle brand that launched one year ago, as well as at least one crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie from each of the line’s five drops. They were back for more at the Pleasing pop-up shop that opened in SoHo last weekend.

It’s the first of several planned visits to the flora-and-fauna themed space, where purple fawns and pastel pink birds line the walls and are printed on fabric lamp shades. There is greenery, colourful checkered carpets and whimsical ceramic animals. The nail polish is displayed on dressers, shelves and counters – both as single bottles and boxed sets with cute names like “Shroom Boom” and “Super Magic Family Time” – alongside makeup, apparel, socks, journals, blankets and Christmas ornaments.

“I’m trying to space out what I buy,” Daniels said. On Sunday, they added a red hoodie, a journal and a pair of socks to their collection of polishes. They plan to return to the popup several times before it closes to buy more.

Alyssa Coy, 20, who attends New York University’s The Gallatin School of Individualized Study with Daniels, is pacing herself, too.

“I will be back here and in LA multiple times and purchasing multiple different things,” said Coy, clutching multiple Pleasing sweatshirts (a popup is open there through Dec. 23, along with a third location in London). In New York, she bought apparel, journals, socks and ornaments and is thinking of getting the blanket and towels in the future.

Pleasing debuted last year with four nail polishes and a few skin care items, one among dozens of celebrity-fronted beauty brands that hit the market around the same time. As a category, nail polish isn’t particularly innovative, but the packaging – bottles have globe-shaped tops in metallic or marbled pastels – is made for display. Still, there have been only a handful of product launches since that initial release (though there has been plenty of tie-in merch, including the much in-demand “Pleasing” sweatshirts). As launching beauty brands became the de facto side hustle for actors, musicians and influencers, Styles himself only intermittently promoted Pleasing. He doesn’t claim to be overseeing every step of his brand’s development, as other celebrities do

But Styles’ fans don’t seem to care.

A sales associate at the New York popup said customers started to line up at 6 am on Saturday, five hours before the store was scheduled to open. About 100 people entered the store per hour until it closed at 7 pm.

Even on a rainy Sunday afternoon there were 15 people waiting to get in, including Jeneva Silverman, 36, who is nine months pregnant.

“They were sold out of a lot of apparel by the time we got in,” Silverman said via email Monday. She wound up ordering a sweatshirt for her husband online.

“I like the minimalist branding and the colours are really good for the nail polish,” said New York City-based Hilary Scherer, 32, who also braved the rain to get a Pleasing sweatshirt and potentially, nail colour.

Pleasing’s hero beauty product is nail polish, a category that’s seen action from male celebrity founders and “genderless” lines over the past year, including one from Colson Baker, better known as Machine Gun Kelly. Last December, a month after Styles launched Pleasing, Baker introduced UN/DN LAQR.

Where celebrities typically make the case that they’ve been intimately involved in the creation and branding of their beauty products – think Lady Gaga or Kim Kardashian talking about the years of development that went into their lines – Styles hasn’t been making the rounds. Ahead of the popups, Pleasing’s biggest offline venture to date, his team declined to make him available for interviews.

Other stars have been punished for failing to adequately champion their lines, which can lead to accusations, true or not, that they’re slapping their name on a product as a cash grab.

In a sense then, Styles’ approach to Pleasing is a test of his fan base’s devotion.

Coy and Daniels, the NYU students, said they find Pleasing more authentic than most celebrity brands.

“Harry’s been trying to separate himself from Pleasing,” Daniels pointed out, noting that the company is a collaborative effort with Styles’ stylist, Harry Lambert (Lambert and Molly Hawkins are co-creative directors of Pleasing). “He [Styles] wants this to be his own separate entity rather than something that’s solely related to him. At the same time, it is very Harry – it’s very eccentric.”

Pleasing works because it’s an embodiment of Styles; beauty, and especially nail polish, is ingrained in his personal brand, something he’s been known for almost as long as he’s been famous. It’s a safe bet that few of the customers lining up in the rain in Soho think he’s poring over financial models or logging time in the lab. It simply doesn’t matter.

“He’s so embedded in everything that Pleasing is and you can feel connected to him in that way, but it’s also still an expression of self as well,” Coy said. “You like him for a reason … and that’s really valuable to me so I’m able to represent that and author that and almost co-author it with him.”

The same goes for the rest of Pleasing’s merchandise – and the pop-ups themselves. The brand’s spaces are busy and immersive, the opposite of many digital-first brands’ attempts at going offline, which often involve neatly arranged products thrown into a minimalist white space.

“If you look around here, everything is very reminiscent of him,” Coy said. “We were walking around pointing at things saying, ‘That’s Harry’ or ‘That’s literally Harry.”

Coy and Daniels are referring to a life size teal poodle, wearing a metallic magenta string of pearls with a crystal and pearl brooch affixed to its right ear.

“How is that Harry?” I press them.

“Just because it is. That looks like him,” Coy replied. “It’s a feeling. He’s also this little duck over there, he’s extremely that duck – that’s so him. He’s so precious. He’s like a little duck on the counter.”

Daniels pulls up a photo on their iPhone of the pastel yellow ceramic duck displayed near the front of the store and then scrolls to a photo of Styles in a yellow stripe with a string of pearls.

When you look at them side by side, it’s hard not to see the resemblance.

Thanks so much anon - I really appreciate it. It's really interesting to see how Pleasing is discussed in the press.

I think the fans thinking that the duck and the poodle are Harry are excellent examples of the idea that Harry speaks in image rather than narrative and the blank space that leaves.

There's some Truman Capote-bashing going on in the FX series FEUD: Capote vs The Swans.

It's based, loosely, on the aftermath after a magazine published a chapter from Captoe's unfinished novel, Answered Prayers, in which he used the ultra-rich people he knew as inspiration. It depicts Capote as a villain, viciously attacking these women who were his friends.

Hm. I'm old enough to remember when this happened. The series is definitely biased against Capote.

In 1992 actor Robert Morse had a one-man show as Truman dealing with this situation. Morse deservedly won a Tony for TRU, as well as an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie (because the show appeared on PBS), and the play won a Drama Desk Award.

"Adapted from the words and works of Truman Capote, Tru is set in the writer's New York City apartment at 870 United Nations Plaza the week before Christmas 1975. An excerpt from Capote's infamous unfinished roman à clef, Answered Prayers, recently has been published in Esquire. Having recognized thinly veiled versions of themselves, Manhattan socialites such as Babe Paley and Slim Keith turn their backs on the man they once considered a close confidant. Alone and lonely, Capote — soothing himself with pills, vodka, cocaine, and chocolate truffles — muses about his checkered life and career in what is essentially a two-act monodrama."

I found the entire play online. this originally aired on PBS. It's well worth watching, if only for Robert Morse's amazing transformation as Capote. (At the very end he removes his prosthesis, so you see how much he had to wear during the whole performance.)

This is in English.

Christmas 2023 Cheer for Seniors: Holiday Activities to Brighten the Season

Christmas is around the corner, so it's time to indulge in a heartwarming tradition and add more festive memories to your life journey. For aging adults, this time of the year will have a huge impact on their well-being. Enjoying Christmas fun will not only give them a sense of nostalgia but also nurture the spirit, foster connections, and spark joy.

This blog is not just a guide to engage your seniors in Christmas 2023 but to share love & laughter and create many more cherished memories for life. Whether it's a playful game session, crafting handmade decorations, or engaging in holiday classics, you can focus on adaptability and inclusivity. So, let's fill this festive season with cheer, warmth, as well as a sense of belongingness.

Engaging in Delightful Decorations:

Engaging in holiday decorations is the best way to let aging adults participate with different skill levels. From creating simple snowflakes with paper to designing festive season wreaths, they can contribute to brightening up your home. This will also inspire creativity and stimulate cognitive functions while improving their mental health.

Baking and Cooking Things:

Baking and cooking a holiday meal brings alive all the senses of sound, sight, taste, smell, and touch. It is also an amazing adventure rather than living a sedentary lifestyle. You can let your seniors get engaged in cooking and baking adventures with easy-to-follow instructions. This will improve their hand-eye coordination while elevating their mood.

Musical Night:

Music can bring people together, stir emotions, and awaken memories. This Christmas 2023, arrange a musical night or sing-along session in your house and take your seniors on an amazing musical journey. The timeless melodies and classic holiday tunes of White Christmas and Jingle Bells will transform the ordinary festive night into a great Christmas gathering.

Virtual Celebrations:

In this age of digitization, distance can not affect the festive vibes. People can have the option of virtual celebrations or connecting with their loved ones on video calls who live miles away. You can help your aging adults get connected with their dear ones via platforms like Skype, Zoom, or FaceTime. These platforms offer real-time interactions and help people participate in holiday activities.

Holiday Shopping and Gift Exchange:

The festive season is incomplete without the excitement of shopping and gift-giving. Arranging a Secret Santa gift exchange and related activities can be a great source of anticipation and fun. For seniors, it can be an amazing way to spread love, laughter, and holiday cheer. This will encourage the people of senior living communities to enjoy their golden years regardless of their health concerns.

Game Nights with All Ages:

Game nights are always a holiday fun that not only transcends all age barriers but also entertaining for your senior adults who have any limitations with mobility. You can help your seniors enjoy board games such as Checkers or Scrabble, and card games such as Solitaire or Rummy. Bingo, online puzzles, and Interactive trivia can also be a perfect choice. Game nights are more engaging and fun than just the festive activities for the whole family.

The Final Thought

Christmas holiday activities give a chance to your family to recall the fulfillment and joy and brighten the season. Engaging your senior ones with the above-mentioned holiday activities can enhance their overall well-being while fostering meaningful connections with their loved ones and the senior living community. 

If you are living miles apart from your seniors and unable to visit your home and celebrate Santa 2023 with them, then you can opt for an assisted living service from ProTribe. It will help you ensure that your loving aging adults are not alone and get the best care and empathy from the ProTribe experts. ProTribe offers senior living and assisted living services to the people living in Delhi, NCR. They will help your seniors enjoy this festive season with love, laughter, and heartwarming moments.

Old Habits

pairing: Tom Holland x fem!reader

words: 2.1k

a/n: could be read as part 2 of last kiss but is a stand alone. got a bit poetic at the end. hope you guys like it. and as always, love reading your opinions/reactions. also asks are open. (gif not mine)

'@tomholland2013 posted a story'

 She picked up her phone to open Instagram. Yes, Y/N still had notifications on for his account even after they were broken up for months. Classic Tom. 

 He posted two of the same picture on his story. No one understood how that would happen almost every time, not even the people working at Instagram to whom they contacted about the glitch.

 Tom had his hair slicked back, standing in a white t-shirt next to Harry, his brother, giving a million-dollar smile. They were holding a clapperboard together. There was text on the picture too, 'day 1 let's go!!' She smiled to herself. Just because they weren't together doesn't mean that she wasn't allowed to feel happy for his achievements. Even though she wishes to know all these big things from Tom himself she is, unfortunately, left here, watching a small part of his life flash in front of her for less than thirty seconds.

 "Are you listening?" Hope, Y/N's date said.

 "Yeah, I'm sorry. You were saying?" Y/N placed the phone back where it was resting, next to the cold wine bottle.

 "You seem distant," they said.

 When she 'met' Hope (she only really met them 30 minutes ago), Y/N wasn't looking for love, just sex, and that is what online dating specializes in. She hoped Hope knew what they were signing up for, sexual intimacy and nothing else.

 "It doesn't matter does, does it? We both know what we are here for. Why not just cut the chase," Y/N replied.

--

It was early in the morning, the sun had yet to shine in its full glory. Y/N could only think of the first time she stayed over at Tom's old apartment but then she turned her head only to find Hope's naked body next to her. Her heartbeat accelerated with the realization that he was not hers anymore. Being in a foreign environment didn't help her growing anxiety, twisting and turning her intestines.

 It's been four months, her feelings for Tom refuse to quit on her because she knows she could never quit on them, on him, even if he has. He probably has already found someone else in Canada, she thought. She didn't want him anymore but she still needed him, one last time just to teach her stupid heart how to say goodbye.

 Y/N wore her clothes and picked up her shoes, going on a trail to find Hope's door to get out before they wake up. Climbing down the stairs, she took out her phone from the back pocket of her jeans.

 '5 new messages from Sam' 7 hours ago

Sam: hey

Sam: ik it's late

Sam: I am going for a run tmr morning @6

Sam: do you wanna come?

Sam: will go to the new coffee house near my house after that

 Y/N texted him back

Y/N: I'll meet you at the coffee place

Sam: come fast. already here

--

Sam and Y/N were standing in the queue to place their orders. “You look especially shitty today,” Sam said, running his right hand through his sweaty hair.

“I haven’t been home yet,” Y/N reasoned her appearance.

 His mouth formed an ‘o’ shape. The person in front of them left the queue, they moved towards the counter. “One hazelnut latte, double shot with skimmed milk,” Y/N gave her order.

 “And you?” the cashier’s question directed to Sam.

 “I’ll have a matcha latte with oat milk”

 Sam turned to Y/N, “Harrison got me on matcha, and now I can’t go back to coffee”

 They paid their dues and moved over to the barista counter to collect their order.

 “So, what were you doing last night?” Sam inquired.

 “I was on a date, it isn't a big deal though. Just had some needs to take care of”

 “Oh, was it any good?”

 “It was fine. I was distracted the whole time. Saw Tom’s story about halfway into the bottle of merlot. Couldn’t stop thinking about him”

 “Seems…sad. But you know Tom is coming back for the Christmas weekend, I think. He might attend Harrison’s Christmas eve party”

 “One hazelnut latte and one matcha latte,” someone behind the counter screamed.

 “That’s us,” Sam raised his voice.

--

Harrison had a bucket inside his house, under a sign that said 'drop your tracking devices here' with an arrow pointing to the bucket. Y/N dropped her phone on a pile of roughly fourteen others. Debating whether to see Tom's face was something she wanted or not made her late and not very fashionably.

 The house was decorated with empty liquor bottles along with red and green streamers from one wall to another. Everyone was drunk in their best dress. There were no signs of Tom yet. Y/N took a deep breath, walking towards the kitchen to get herself some liquid courage to help her socialize.

 The kitchen was rather scarcely populated. Empty glasses were lined up next to the sink. Are they clean or used? Bending down, Y/N opened the refrigerator to see if Harrison had any chilled wine. No luck. "Hey," a familiar voice was heard.

 She looked up at the familiar stranger.

 "Hey Tom," she smiled. The refrigerator light falling on Y/N made her blush visible.

She grabbed a half-cut lemon placed in the egg tray.

 “How have you been?" Tom asked leaning back on the kitchen counter, observing her movements.

 Y/N walked towards the sink to grab herself a crystal glass hoping for it to be clean. "Just busy with work these days"

 "I heard you got a job at Condé Nast, is that true?" he took a sip from his beer.

 "Well, you heard right. You are looking at their new senior brand manager for digital", she said proudly.

 Tom hugged her from the side she was holding a knife to cut the lemon for her gin and tonic. "That's great darling! You always wanted to work there"

 Darling. The butterflies in her stomach were fluttering like the first time she met Tom.

 "I saw your story the other day. You started filming your script, right?" she dropped the lemon in the glass.  

 "Yup, it was a long time coming," he grabbed the knife she was using and washed it without even knowing. He was so used to Y/N never washing utensils after using them and, he would always have to clean up after her.

 "Congrats on that babe!" The word 'babe' just slipped out of practice.

 Y/N grabbed a Bombay Sapphire standing still on the marble slab. The blue of the bottle shinning even in the dim-lit room.

 "I missed you," Y/N made eye contact, screwing the cap back on. A long, silent pause.

 I miss you too, so very much

 She cleared her throat, "so, how long are you staying?"

 "Going back Monday morning"

 She opened a can of tonic water.

 "Are you seeing someone?" Tom asked.

 "Wouldn't you wanna know" a smirk on her face grew. "I've been out on few dates, nothing serious. What about you?"

 "Met this girl online, dated for a bit but, she wanted something I couldn't give to her"

 Y/N scoffed, "did she have a foot fetish or something?"

 "No, Y/N. She wanted love, not my feet" they both laughed.

 "On that topic..." Tom calmed himself, "...I was listening to this song a few weeks ago and, there was this line, 'the smell of your hair reminds me of her feet' and it made me think of you"

 "I reckon," she took a sip of her gin and tonic.

 "No, seriously, I really related to that line. No matter how many people I hook up with, it will be hard to find the type of intimacy I shared with you. I still relate to it"

 "I hate going on walks alone and having faceless dreams," Y/N blurted, lacking a proper reaction.

 "You're still the face of all my fantasies," Tom confessed.

 None of them knew what to say next. Anything they thought of saying now included walking over the blurry line of exes to lovers.

 "You look pretty"

 "Classic me, had a glow up after getting my heartbroken"

 "You always looked this pretty. You are beautiful," Tom assured her. The 'heartbroken part did not sit well with him. He already felt guilty for taking a job across the pond which was a great opportunity for him to grow but was only possible by severing his ties with Y/N.  

 --

It had just started snowing on Boxing Day. Tom was alone in his cold home, boiling a pot of ramen noodles. He took out his phone and snapped a picture of the burning stove with the pot on top.

Tom: *attached photo*

Tom: I come back after months and my family leaves me alone with no food

Y/N: you should add a poached egg

Tom: Thanks. I shall.

Tom: I think I made too much ramen for me

Tom: do you wanna come over and share?

 Her indecision was visible by the coming and going of the gray dots. Then finally, Tom could tame his anxiety by her simple reply.

 Y/N: sure.

--

There was a loud knock on the door. Tom put two bowls of hot ramen on the dining table and went to open the door. Behind the door, Y/N was standing with her hands inside her brown checker coat. There was dust of snow sitting on her shoulders. Her braided hair was made by the most anxious hands in town.

 The door opened and, Tom’s hands flew to take Y/N in his arms. They hugged like little kids hug their parents after being away from each other, for them, an eternity. It did feel like an eternity to them too but, they hadn’t forgotten each other’s touch.

 “I parked my car at the church, couldn’t find any spot here ‘cause of the snow," she pulled out.

 “The snow seems to be gaining momentum.”

 Y/N hummed in agreement. She took off her coat and hung it in the Holland’s coat closet.

 “Come on, the ramen is getting cold,” she followed tom into the kitchen.

 They sat adjacent on the wooden table in comfortable silence. Tom used chopsticks and, Y/N used a fork. Only the occasional noodles falling in the broth were heard, along with the gushing of wind.

 “It’s really spicy for me,” Tom said.

 “Yeah, I can see your ears turning red.”

She still remembers 

 Y/N raised her hand to cover her mouth while yawning.

 “Since you made the food, I’ll do the dishes,” she got up, grabbed their bowls, and walked over to the sink.

 Wearing the gloves, she turned to Tom, “it was quite tasty”.

 Tom gave her a smile.

 She spread the soap on the dishes and turned the tap on. Tom pushed his chair back to get up.

 “Have you made any friends at your new job,” he jumped and sat on the counter next to Y/N.

 “Yeah, sort of. Kyara works there too so, I have just made her friends my friends,” she washed his chopsticks.

 “That’s good. Have you talked to Emily after the wedding? She told me they are planning on adopting.”

 “They invited me over for dinner when they got the approval from the agency. Kyara made this amazing Hyderabadi biryani, it was her mum’s recipe so, it was obviously better than the restaurant”

 “God! You and your love for Indian food”

 Y/N removed her gloves, “I should go. Thanks for the ramen, by the way”

 “Are you sure you can go out in this weather?”

 “Yeah I think," she started walking out of the kitchen.

 Tom grabbed her hand. “Stay”, his voice was like cotton.

 Y/N turned and made contact with his pleading eyes. She moved closer to him. “Please”, he said. They both were inching in to lock their desperate lips.

Y/N did not notice when she had fallen asleep talking to Tom. Their naked bodies were covered by the white comforter. Her eyes slowly opened to a boy with brown eyes and messy hair looking at her.

 “I like it when you sleep. I love watching you sleep”

 She chuckled. “That’s a bit creepy, don’t you think?” She had a sleepy voice.

 “You look so serene, the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I could stare at you for eons”

 “But love, I'm only here till the snow settles,” she caressed his cheeks.

“Then the cold shall frost our limbs," he leaned in to kiss her.

MASTERLIST

------------------------------------------------------

September

"When do we have our first interview?" you asked the boy whose head was in your lap. He looked up from his phone and your eyes locked with his green ones "Hmm, my calendar says in about 30 minutes."

You groaned at that and stopped playing with Charlie's hair which earned you a grunt and whine from him. "Sorry babe but I think I have to go, so I still have time to get ready and set up." You muttered and gave him a small kiss on his brown hair.

"Uhh fine." The weight lifted from your legs, you stood up and before you knew it you were thrown over his shoulder. Laughing, you slapped his butt and back repeatedly. "Babe! I mean it" you tried to press out between giggles, "we both decided to keep us a secret." He sat you down on the kitchen isle and cornered your body in between his arms, standing right in front of you, you're back hitting the kitchen cabinet.

"I know... come back later?" he asked and tilted his head, looking at you with big puppy eyes. "You know it." After a swift kiss, or rather a little make out session, you were on your way back to your own appartement. Just in time to change your top and put on a lip-gloss before opening your laptop and joining the interview.

"Hello everybody! I'm here with the cast of Netflix' Julie and the Phantoms that came out on Thursday. How are you guys?" the interviewer asked and smiled into the camera of his laptop. The whole cast chirped in with a good, great, or amazing.

"That's fantastic!" he clapped his hands "Now, Jeremy, how would you describe your Character and the show in general?"

"It's a show about ghosts from 1995 who come back 25 years later and join a band with Julie who didn't sing a note after her mother died. Reggie, the character that I play, is one of those ghosts and he is a loveable himbo. Did I use that word correctly Maddie?"

Maddie smiled and the interviewer changed the topic "Madison and y/n, birds have told me that this was your first ever acting job is that right?"

You nodded and signaled Maddie to speak first "Yes, and it was both amazing and traumatizing! I was so nervous, but the crew really helped to calm me down, especially y/n who just was in the same position as me, so we freaked out together most of the time." She smiled and the interviewer waited for you to answer. "Except, Maddie had a least some acting training at school, that's why she is the best. I more or less walked into the whole situation." You said laughing.

"I love this story." Jeremy exclaimed, making you slightly blush at his words.

"Would you be so kind and tell us?" the interviewer questioned and smiled at your little nod.

"Yes, yes of course. Well, I was on vacation with one of my good friends from back home..."

"She means Germany." Owen interrupted with a smile on his lips. "Yes, Owen. Thank you for adding important details. Anyways, we saw that there was an Open Audition nearby and though why not? We don't have anything to lose or to do on that particular day. And here I am, my friend sadly didn't get in."

"That really is an amazing story, I can see why Jeremy likes it so much. So, Charlie how would you describe y/n's and Luke's characters, she wasn't supposed to be in the script and was later added in right?" Charlie quirked up at the mention of your name and stated proudly. "Indeed, she impressed Kenny so much that he wrote a character just for her. He thought that Sunset Curve, the band name before we died, needed a female to handle their chaos or well... at least tries to. Y/N plays Allie, who against common speculation isn't any of the boys' love interest which is a very nice turn of events. She and Luke bud head a lot because Luke only thinks about music and the band and she tries hard to make him take breaks every now and then." 

A lovesick smile sat on your face while you listened to your boyfriend of nearly a year, once you realized your expression you quickly shook it off. Hiding this relationship was definitely going to be harder than expected.

The Interviewer asked some more questions before the last and dreaded question was thrown your way. "So, most of your fans are wondering if any of you guys are in a relationship." You and Charlie had discussed a million times before what you guys would say in such a moment, the two of you shared a look.

Jeremy's eyes switched from Charlie's box on his screen to y/n's before answering "I have a lovely wife! The rest of us are happily single, right guys?"

"100%" Maddie added, while Owen only shrugged, his dog conveniently jumping into his lap.

"How about the other two?" he eyed up the last remaining.

"Very single" Charlie laughed, and you agreed "Totally."

As time went on it was harder and harder for the two of you to hide the relationship, as you two spent nearly every day together and therefore did the same activities. Particularly after your social media accounts have gained over a million followers and people started to ship actors and tv show characters. But you two loved the little secret bubble you've created, there was no pressure to take good pictures together, or to post stories, to be asked a thousand questions about your relationship and no hate towards any of you.

December

It has been 4 months since the show released and the hype it got definitely was way more than you ever expected. It blew your mind. Currently, you are on Charlie and yours one-year anniversary / Christmas / good deeds vacation. Charlie and you found a good mix, that made you both happy, between chilling and doing adventurous things.

It was Christmas eve and Maddie wanted to do a 'guess the song Christmas Edition' with the main cast. Eagerly you agreed and hurried from the beach, where Charlie currently took the quiz at the bar you both sat on just minutes before, to your shared bedroom. You shot Maddie a quick text that you were 'out of the relationship zone' and ready when she was ready.

"Helloooo. How did the others do?"

"Not the worst but I still have faith in you to win this. ARE YOU READY?" she screamed the last part.

“I’m going to read you the lyrics of a christmas song and you have to guess the next line. There are certain cards that give one point and others give two. Whoever has the most points at the end…”

“Hopefully get your earrings” you asked with a sly smile and your shoulders raised.

Maddie laughed but shook her head “Sadly, no. I haven't figured out the price yet, but I for sure will! I like your backdrop by the way.” she added and you quickly looked behind you. You sat crisscrossed on the hotel room floor, you used the coffee table and a water bottle as a phonestand and used a white checkered wall as a background to try and hide the fact that you didn't sit in your living room.

January

“This should be the last box.” you cheered into the empty hall and shut the front door with a light push from your hip. Charlie popped his head out of the bedroom and walked over to, dropping his head on your shoulder in exhaustion. Nothing was set up, boxes stood randomly all over the apartment, the fridge stood there still empty and a lonely mattress covered the bedroom floor.

“The walls look a bit bare don't you think?” you said about a week later, standing in the middle of the now a bit furnished living room. Strong arms sneaked their way around your waist and a head dropped on your shoulder.

“Hmm… you're right. What do you have in mind?” Charlie said and turned you around so you were facing him. He smiled at the spark in your eyes “I was thinking, a yellow akzent wall with random secondhand pictures and some pictures of us, all in frames of course. So it's gonna have this homey and creative atmosphere.” You rambled on for a while longer, telling him where you think his instruments could go, the pillows you saw online and thought they worked perfect with the colour of the couch. Charlie just stared at you, a dumb smile on his lips with his arms around you.

“Do you not like it?” you noticed that he hasn't talked for a while and got worried. “I love it. We could live in a dumpster for all I care, as long as I have you by my side.” You fake gaged at his romantic words and gave him a kiss.

The first time people got really suspicious was the time you accidentally walked in on a live he had on Instagram. He sat in front of his instruments, phone propped up before him. You thought that he was already finished but you were wrong.

“Do you think this…” you walked into the room, a shirt in your hand that you just took out of the dryer and lost your words the moment you saw him sitting in front of his phone. He looked at you with wide eyes, his brain clearly searching for a good excuse. 

“Is that y/n?” he read outloud from the chat, gesturing you do sit next to him. “Yes it's her! We’re hanging out and she helped me with my washing because I somehow still don't know how to do it.” he laughed nervously, his hand grabbing yours out of the frame.

“He promised me food and I live really close by, so I thought I'll help this poor man out.”

May

Looking back at this moment now, you and Charlie weren't sure why you just didn't come clean. You didn't mean to hide the relationship this long, it just kinda happened and at one point it just got too awkward to tell. It was fairly easy to hide most of the time, you didn't most that much on instagram and Charlie only showed parts of his daily life.

The easiest was the time you filmed JATP Season 2. You were expected to hang out and live together. Back in 2019 you already lived with Owen and Charlie. This time poor Owen had to live with a couple instead of just two friends. (You were already dating for a while back then but didn't tell the cast, to not make a fuss.)

It wasn't like the fans didn't suspect a thing, especially after Owen posted a video of you two fooling around. 

Everybody sat outside, enjoying the everwarming sun on their skin. Half of the cast was already in costume just waiting for the break to end. In typical Allie (your character) fashion you wore an overall with a tight tank top underneath, your makeup stood out from the others with the heavy blush, freckles and black eyeliner. 

Charlie, in his Luke wardrobe, thought that it was funny to stand in front of you to shield you from the sun.

"Stop that" you whined and tried to shove him away, which was harder than you thought considering he stood before you and you sat on a bench.

"Make me." He flirted and stood even wider before you, puffing out his chest. Raising an unimpressed eyebrow, you stole his beany with a swift motion. His expresion quickly changed from cocky to shocked, snickering was heard from Maddie who was used to this type of behaviour.

"Ups… heavy wind blows in the shadows." You explained nonchalantly and pulled the beany on your head, sticking your tongue out at your boyfriend.

"Oh it's on my lady" he growled "I'm giving you a three second advantage. One…" your eyes widened and your heart rate picked up. "Two…" you got up and scanned the place internally making a good running line. "Th-.." you began sprinting across the lot. You heard the laughing from your castmates behind you as you and Charlie ran in circles. 

Unfortunately, he was still fitter and faster than you and about a minute into the running he had you thrown over his shoulder.

"Surrender!" he screamed as you tried to wiggle out of his grip.

"Never!" You screamed back and wiggled even harder.

"Surrender or i'll have to tickle you" he warned and those were the last words Owen was able to film before a producer yelled that the break was finished.

February

“Baby, if I would believe this News Article, you have a secret girlfriend, but it's not me.” you showed him your phone screen.

“I’m not cheating on you. I would never, i'd die rather than…” his frantic expression made you snort. “I know. Oh my god! People saw you with Lia.” you held his hands comfortably.

“Lia as in your best friend Lia?”

“The one and only. People noticed the hickeys... At least they’re getting closer now. So are we still on for the masterplan? You by instruments and I'm gonna sit in the bedroom?" He nodded and smiled at the sight of your equally plastered neck. 

Eventually, before you even were able to execute the as you'd like to say 'masterplan' your relationship got outed. I mean it was time, the two of you getting lazier with the hiding as time went by. 

Fans noticed that you wore a lot of Charlie's things and that you and him always seemed to be at the same place at the same time. It was actually one of your lives that spilled the secret. 

"That's a really nice akzent wall" you read outloud from the chat "oh thank you! It was a long process to get all the pictures but it was actually Charlie's idea to not only have pictures but also plane tickets, date memories and so on hung up on that wall. It really makes it homey. I think to get that wall this crowded it took us...what? About well since we moved in…" you didn't even realise what you said you just babbled and then it was out.

"Charlie actually is home! I could call him. Babe! Come here for a sec- oh my god!" Your hands flew up to your mouth in realizion. 

From that moment on you were public and your social media exploded once again. However the two of you were happy to finally show each other off.

[peralta-guaranteed]

"That's enough sugar for you."

Amy can't believe her own ears.

She wishes they had nanny cams in place, for once, something that could've caught what she'd just watched happening right in front of her eyes, and that no one outside of their little apartment would ever believe.

-*-

The kitchen was a battlefield, but that was nothing new or unexpected for the Santiago-Peralta household, especially when they decided to team up together in the rare event that Jake trusted Amy with some smaller tasks during their cooking. Flour, milk, sticky eggs and eggshell crumbs were covering the floor and most surfaces, mixing with powdered sugar, cocoa powder and colorful sprinkles on the counter.

She's already making a mental list on how to best tackle this mess once they got to the clean-up stage, but right now the giggles she could hear above the soft lull of christmas music in the background was far more important.

Mac, leaning against the kitchen counter from the stepladder they've pulled out of the hallway closet, is being held tight around his waist by Jake as he bends forward, pushing cookie cutters into the dough they've spread out with a precision you wouldn't expect from a four year old. There's an already full tray of finished cookies next to them, some perfectly decorated with icing lines and little beads by Amy, some covered in as many sprinkles as possible by Maya's little hands dropping them wherever she could (after stuffing most of them into her mouth, sitting on the counter in prime reaching spot for all the sweet things). There's some decidedly not-christmassy-looking turtles and ducks between the little santa hats, stars and sleighs, but at least Jake has drawn an icing Santa-outfit on some of them.

They've got a few others baking in the oven - checker-board cookies and vanilly-flavoured little crescents - but it's all about the sugar cookies for their two little ones, cutting them out and placing them on the sheets, covering them with decorations, playing out little scenes and snacking on half of them before they can even be boxed up to be given as workplace gifts the way Amy had planned. (There's a few little snowmen and gingerbread men shaped ones already set to the side, covered with blue icing and a tiny police badge sprinkle that Amy had found on some obscure online baking site, that will sit on top of each little gift box to greet their respective human counterpart. Jake has taken extra care to draw the perfect icing scowl on the Rosa and Holt ones.)

Mac laughs as he lifts up the cookie cutter and watches the dough he's just cut out drop onto the counter, the reindeer in turn losing most of his legs and antlers. He picks it up straight away, balls it together with his sugar-covered hands and stuffs it in his mouth.

"Broken ones have to be eaten", Jake had stated when they started and he himself had accidentally torn apart the first few duckies he'd stamped out, and smiled at her while chewing. She'd rolled her eyes - the dough could easily be remixed and rolled out again, but okay. Maybe she'd snuck a few of them away from his and Mac's fingers too, and Maya had gotten one to try as well.

But right now it seemed like every second cookie was doomed to 'break' as Mac wiggled and waved the cutters around while giggling louder and louder.

"How about we try and get one more sheet full of good ones, hm?" Jake says as he grabs another ball of dough from Mac's fingers and snarfs it up before the little guy can protest. "Mama needs at least another to get her gifts ready. Okay?"

Mac hesitates for a moment, nods - and drops another little snowman who becomes headless. Jake picks it out of his hands before he can eat it, though.

"Alright, that's enough sugar for you, bud."

And with that, Amy's world comes to a standstill. The christmas song in the background turns into silence, as she stares at Jake pushing the snowman-dough back into the rolled out pile, ignoring Mac with his little pout and pulling the shaker of sprinkles out of Maya's hands too before she can cover the whole counter surface with it.

It only starts moving again when Jake looks at her with a quizzing look and a soft "Ames?".

"Did you just-" She wants to ask, but can't stifle the surprised giggle that escapes her. Jake doesn't seem to follow.

"Did you just seriously tell someone else they've had enough sugar?!" She laughs now, and Maya joins in simply because she always does when Mama is laughing.

"Shuddup." Jake mumbles as he blushes, but he can't help but smile himself.

"No one will ever believe me." Amy continues to laugh as Jake prevents Mac from eating another one of the already finished cookies.

"I'm allowed to be an adult sometimes, okay? I have two kids." Jake scoffs, still with a grin to his face. "And I watch out for their health, so I know too much sugar is bad."

"Sure, Mr. Breakfast Burrito."

"Hey, I haven't had one of those for-" Jake pauses and then sheepishly stares down at the counter. "-months."

Amy laughs again as she picks up a giggling Maya, walks around the counter to her two boys to press a kiss to Jake's flour-covered cheek.

"Such a good grown-up." She teases with a wink, and knows Jake would jokingly bite her lips on that short kiss he gives her after, if it weren't for Maya in her arms already trying to hug him, and Mac in his that he's still holding onto while he continues to cut out perfect, non-broken cookies.

-*-

They end up with some very presentable gift boxes and a little bowl of cookies for their own dining table, in the end, and if Amy has to retell the story of how Jake scolded someone for eating too much sugar as she hands out the boxes to the squad, well, they all need a good laugh once in a while.

10 Fundamentals About GTA 5 Generator No Survey No Download You Didn’t Learn in School

And yes, you can nonetheless pick up prostitutes in the game. The switching mechanic also helps make every of the characters feel like real people today living actual lives outside the game, as every single time you switch they are currently engaged in some sort of activity. You will see Michael arguing with his wife and Franklin walking his dog, and Trevor ends up drunk and naked in out-of-the-way locations with alarming frequency.

Proper now, I am semi-permanently between those two.

Taking into consideration the continued popularity of GTA 5, or a lot more specifically GTA Online, it's no wonder the developer is in no hurry to generate a sequel.

one of the key factors i wanted this service was since i wanted the unicorn mask from festive surprise 2016 but apparently that wasn't doable.

Seeking to get extra money in Grand Theft Auto 5 and wondering if all these money generators are protected?

The way the Epic Store’s free game operates is that you can claim a game for the duration of its featured week and soon after that week ends…you get to keep it.

They are, usually, precisely what you'd count on them to be.

None of this makes GTA V much more interactive, but it aids make its planet extra fascinating. Some GTA players ignore all the story missions and just play in the games' chaotic sandbox. When I play open planet games, I am a wanderer and a checklist checker-give.

Archive Study: Best Solo Gta 5 Online Money Glitch Operating Proper Now! (Unlimited Money) *Fastest*

Excellent communication and a massive thank you for the further money and stuff. I now employed his service the second time and it is nonetheless quite great. Fast response with in 3 hours even even though i ordered Christmas night! Thorough modding that took time to guarantee no ban and gave 600 mil rather of 500 which is good. highly recommend when seeking for your account to be modded. I was quite sceptical at very first, but the service was wonderful. They did every thing they mentioned they would do and even gave me further money.

After that, go back to LS Custom, and SELL your car. As soon as it says Sold, pause the game and Swap Character. Respawn your character and the car will be about the region where you respawned. Developer also tightens up ban and suspension policy for the hack-addled game. As for a reward precise to this week's update, players will be in a position to get their hands on a brand new podium vehicle when the update goes reside in their region.

We Offer Modifications Such As Gta V Money, Level, Unlocks, Bundles, And So Forth. For Computer, Ps4 & Xbox A Single! Get Pleasure From Full Money

Would hugely advise truly helped me get started my company. Just after a extended wait, we lastly availing service of Xbox One Money Boosts. Say no to Shark cards bring about PrimeModz can enhance up your Xbox One GTA5 Online account with money in Millions. So no, a free week in the Epic Games store is no skin off Rockstar’s back, and they may well end up hooking individuals into GTA Online as a outcome, getting them to devote money there as an alternative down the road. The way the Epic Store’s free game performs is that you can claim a game for the duration of its featured week and right after that week ends…you get to maintain it. The idea is to gave smaller sized games more exposure and suggestions and larger games the chance to sell microtransactions.

For Try GTA 5 Online Generator No Human Verification greater or worse, even though, these mini-games stay, for me, the least attractive portion of the series. They are presented, extra or significantly less, dispassionately, without having the snark and satire of the rest of the game's world. They are, normally, specifically what you'd expect them to be. There's no flair, no imaginative gameplay twist, no buzz of that something particular that makes a game or a game-inside-a-game fun. GTA V's lands and bodies of water also probably hold at least a hundred secrets—specifically hidden collectibles of which I only located 3 in my 42 hours of playing. There is just so a great deal in the game to discover, much of it trading off the appeal of genuine world geography. If the magnificence of a massive lake, the eeriness of an abandoned barn or the allure of biking up a significant mountain does practically nothing for you, look for additional fantastical game worlds to play.

After Hours Medical Advice

As you know, and certain have in mind every day, nursing is a career that carries a huge amount of duty. Be sure to guard your self, especially when asked for advice in an informal setting.

No, Uncle Bob has cornered you within the hallway after Christmas dinner. In trying back, I realize that not as soon as during this experience did anyone INVITE me into a discussion of what could be best for my mother. 

She spent two nights in the hospital beneath remark, with IV hydration. Now, admittedly, she has varying levels of dementia even on a good day, but she reached the point of getting severe hallucinations and paranoia.

Having a whole remedy group looking out for you and preparing a discharge plan that is going to set you up for achievement. 90 days of therapy allows for the affected person to work via many of the above mentioned considerations and we treat it using an American Society of Addiction Medicine dimensional assessment.

When we have well being questions and considerations, it’s easy to show to good ol’ WebMD for answers. And even though the Internet can be a great well being useful resource, reading about your health points online can usually lead to pointless fear and fear.

So instead of browsing the web for a generic, or even worse, incorrect answer, talk to a doctor in particular person to get the total image—and to cease dropping sleep over your questions (see reason number 5!). While I’ll be the primary to confess that a trip to the gynecologist’s workplace isn’t my favourite way to spend a day, annual pelvic exams are a important a part of any girl’s preventative health care.

Will we have to battle the battle of keyword voids at a grassroots degree, wrangling with the asymmetry of passion by tapping folks to search out these voids and create counter-content material? Do we need to arrange counter-GoFundMe campaigns to pay for ad campaigns that promote real science?

Do not rely on a form’s basic remark that “risks of leaving were discussed with the patient,” he says. That doesn't negate the value of those documents, however they should not be the sum complete of the hospital’s evidence displaying efforts to provide care. 

First, the hospital must reconcile any excellent diagnostics, as a result of if any checks had been ordered, the hospital is still liable for checking the results to make certain nothing critical was identified, he says.

Despite our protests, she saved making an attempt to pull out the IV fluid line from her arm and the gizmo , and tugged at her gown.
