Thane & James

Constant attention, constant treats, constant adventures maybe to a dog park or the like? They likely just want all of the love. You are taking a bit of a shaggy look, mate.

@thane-watson

I know. I havent been to a barber in a month. Im going to go Saturday. That way I can look presentable at church. Goliath was not short on treats while Malu was house sitting and dog watching. I got many videos. He taught him a few new tricks too. Would you like to come with us to the park?

@thane-watson:

Hiding in bed seems like a good option. Pain medication, hydration, and some food.

I did all of those things. It really did help that I didn’t have to work that day because I would’ve been struggling trying to smile for those kids at work.

@thane-watson

I would say even in the era of social media your presence most certainly exists without even posting a selfie. All the same, welcome. My name’s Thane. I hope that you enjoy it on here.

But who chooses that presence? If we dont post on our own will someone do it for us through their own account and create a persona of us that we never asked for? Nice to meet you Thane.

Just a goofy fan-girl moment but... DOES THAT MEAN THANE IS NEWT SCAMANDER!? :D

Yes, Thane is Newt. His blog has his current projects on the sidebar.

Who wouldn’t want to ride on his Hogwarts Express? Badumtissssss!

A Time of Wonder || Kailani & Thane

Maybe it was the unspoken stress of seeing her ex and the unwanted brush of his skin against hers, but Kailani had been experiencing vivid dreams that ticked her pulse up a few notches. When she asked her doctor about the nightmares, she reassured Kai that her hormones were likely the cause and she wouldn’t have such intense dreams once her body was back to normal. Despite her best attempts she couldn’t shake the feeling that this hadn’t been the case with Benji and that there was more to, what she described as, night terrors. With Bayoa busy with work, she still couldn’t bring herself to tell anyone she saw him and Malte kept quiet on the situation for fear that talking about it would make the situation turn up in a tabloid. After a week of sleep deprivation, Kai just wanted good company and a helping hand with Benji, who was a fully energized bunny in all of his waking hours. Not wanting to bug her staff to help on yet another task they weren’t hired to do, she called a friend, Thane.

Thane had always been there for Benji, Kai, and Bay. She knew it wasn’t just because he was Benji’s godfather either. To no one’s surprise, he said he’d come over and hang out with the one and a half year old while she unwound. Kailani waited patiently with Benji while Thane went through the usual security protocol. The little boy swung away from his mom as she held him by the hand, ready to run to Thane. Not wanting her son to fall as soon as she let him go she gave him a count down. “Are you ready to get Uncle Thane?” He looked at her with a smile so very like Bayoa’s that some of her stress vanished in that fleeting moment. “Fem, fire, tre, to...EN!” The little boy was off and quickly making little grabby hands to be picked up by Thane. Kai slowly waddled his way to close the distance and hug her close friend. “I really appreciate you stopping by. You know we love your visits and I really could use the quiet swim. I promise I’ll make us all a yummy lunch when I’m out in an hour.”

With quick pecks on the boys’ cheeks she headed toward the home’s pool. As soon as she was alone the stress found her again and she quickly slipped off her wrap dress and lowered herself into the pool. In her eagerness to feel the usual relief water brought her she sat on the edge of the deep end and scooted forward to get in. What normally happened was that the water around her felt like a hug, she would float on her back and let the water cover her ears to dull out the sounds around her. As soon as she was in, however, she felt a kick of pain that radiated from her back forward. Kicking her legs she reached for the edge of the pool to catch her breath before swimming toward the ladder at the middle of the long pool. The sensation was familiar, a contraction. It was to early for the baby to come and as she thought about the stress that put on Lucas and Taney she started to panic. Though in the back of her mind she knew it was likely Braxton Hicks, she could feel her chest tighten with fear.

Before Kailani could call out for help, unaware over ten minutes had passed, another contraction came. Her fingers dug at the cement at the edge of the pool as she kicked her legs and took deep breaths through the pain. When it passed she placed her palms on the edge of the pool and tried to lift herself out. She screamed as she used all her strength with no result. She slipped back into the pool, coughing for air before her head slipped under. Her legs were strong, but Kailani didn’t reach the bottom to push herself off. Kicking her legs, she angled herself across to the ladder. When she broke the surface, she gasped for air only to be met with another contraction. Standing neck-deep in the middle of the pool, Kai coughed and gasped for air, and somewhere in between started to loudly curse in frustrated French. Hopping toward the ladder, she held on as she tried, and failed, to get out once more.

Spent of all her energy, she held onto the ladder and waited for someone, anyone, as she took deep breaths and tried to calm her nerves. Logically, she could’ve held onto the edge of the pool and moved toward the shallow end, but the whole excursion had scared her. Every wave that had swept her up, every pool at a hotel where she got lost in the overcrowded space, all those memories found her as she became consumed with the negativity of the week. Eventually, someone did turn up- Thane. “I’m huge and I’m stuck.” She offered an apologetic smile only to be met with another thrash of pain. Through gritted teeth she managed, “This baby is very different from Benji.”

Lovely to see you. I could always do with an outing so that I’m less of a hermit than usual. Plus, I haven’t had a proper drink in ages. You’ll just have to let me know in advance. I’ve been well, hopefully you have too?

Thane, hello dear, lovely to see you as well. It’s good to learn you’ve been well. However, I will attempt a tiny argument that being a hermit has it’s perks sometimes. I’m sure especially with your profession, decompressing has to be a very welcome process I would venture. My schedule is open aside from Saturday, so you let me know whatever day and time works best for you —- I would love to chat and over those much needed drinks. Maybe we can go horseback riding, same day or another that you have time.

I’m doing okay, truly. Thank you for asking.

[thegirlnamedgia]

I am very happy to announce that I am settled in and simply relaxing after a long battle with unpacking what felt like millions of boxes. A person doesn’t realize how much they accumulate after so long, am I right?

For those of you who may have not heard the news just yet, I have to say -- with great sadness -- that my gorgeous apartment is on the hunt for a sublet as I have moved in with Thane. There is still half a year left on the lease with it ending on the last day of June, and I have to say that it’s a wonderful place to live. I did, after all, call it home for many, many years.

@thane-watson:

I’ve been learning about Hanukkah, and also showing my girlfriend Christmas. We’ve been doing every last tradition I have been able to think of, and I think she’s been liking it so far. Aside from that, I haven’t thought very far. Yourself? Oh, and I haven’t introduced myself, my name’s Thane.

I’m guessing she’s celebrated Hanukkah. Did you enjoy it? I don’t really have any plans aside from working Christmas Eve. I might go to my coworker’s family’s house. They’ve invited me to have dinner with them. I’m Andrew, it’s nice to meet you.

I would be willing to do that. You know that I’m always willing to play some video games with you whenever I have a chance. How was Australia?

Are you hoping for a Luke and Yoda moment? I dont think Im ever going to surpass your skill. Australia was great. I really needed that time with my family.

@thane-watson

I couldn’t possibly tell you that you were not allowed because my brother keeps a bunch of them in his sanctuary, and I am always thinking that I need a dog of my own. I miss my family dog, but my parents keep him, so I’ve got none. No, I’m afraid I’ll be the little voice in your ear saying “get a dog!”

I miss Henry when River doesn’t bring him over and I just like having something to cuddle with when i’m on the sofa. Oh dear I might end up with one at this rate.

I always love hearing about all of the different performances that you do. I wish that I could be there to see one of them. Perhaps, if you’re doing one closer to Christmas, when I’ll be home again, I’ll try and make it to one of your concerts?

The only performance I have coming up is my finals showcase.

@thane-watson

It’s very crazy, I can’t believe it, and he’s not even my son. Also, are you trying to look like me with that facial hair?

I’m fairly sure there are still magazines that think you are his father. Obviously that’s why I’m trying to look more like you.

‣ MUNDAY: APPRECIATION POST ↴

Continuing with our new little tradition, I would like this Munday to be dedicated to Mari. As many of our members know, Mari has taken up the helm of doing our weekly activity checks. Without her, SABR would have had to close because my academic schedule, teaching, and job impact my amount of free time to run this group, let alone be on the dash. Activity checks take hours, usually between six and eight depending on the size of the group and number of people on hiatus. Her commitment to keeping the group active and running is not unseen or unappreciated. Thank you for your continued hard work and commitment to this community and for working so hard to balance admin duties and your amazing characters, as well as for always being there for us to talk to. Honestly, the amount of advice you have given all of us in the nearly five years we have been open has been invaluable. You continue to encourage us to do research and put our best work forward. Thank you!

Lots of love and happy writing! - Admin NatBat

The hat works for you, mate. How’s that new idea going for you? Still going well?

Well thank you, I appreciate the compliment. Ah, yeah the idea is going well, still kinda simmering. Haven’t actually started to draft it yet, I’m just making bullet points and all that fun stuff. People ask me what my writing process is like and man oh man does it change depending on the idea.
