Tagged by @cee-grice a few days ago, thank you~

Rules: post a snippet of dialogue

I'm currently working on queueing up chapters of Dragon's Choice, so have these semi-connected snippets featuring Oliver being teased for being his usual too-talkative self.

"Who can say?" Oliver chuckled, and finally took a bite out of his bread. He then raised the remaining piece towards Teresa. "Delicious as always," he said. "You might have found it more so had you eaten it while it was warm," she said dryly, but clearly used to this exact thing happening. She even smiled while she said it, something Patrice had not yet seen. "Naturally, naturally," he said. "Perhaps one of these days I'll manage it and compliment you properly."

-

"So young Oliver," Duke Marcus said, "fattening off of our hospitality again I see?" "What a stingy attitude, considering you're my future father-by-marriage. Besides, you know I'll make up for it. I’ll look over your account books later." "Much obliged. Did you at least manage to partake of your meal before it grew cold?"

Tagging @oh-no-another-idea @dogmomwrites @did-i-do-this-write and anyone else, I love reading dialogue!

Chicken Pot Pie! :D

this is an actual recipe, but I have not tested it so have no idea if its good.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 1/2 lb. bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 yellow onion, chopped

2 carrots, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 tsp. fresh thyme

1/4 c. all-purpose flour

2 c. chicken stock

1/4 c. dry white wine

1 c. frozen peas

1/4 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 (14-ounce) package all-butter puff pastry

1 large egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook, skin sides down, until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip chicken and transfer skillet to the oven. Cook, until the internal temperature of the thickest thigh registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Discard skins and bones, and chop chicken. 

Step 2Place skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Slowly stir in stock and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in chicken, peas, and parsley. 

Step 3Cut puff pastry into a circle 1 inch larger than the outside rim of a cast-iron pie plate. (You may need to roll the dough on a lightly floured work surface to get it to size.) Place pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer filling to pie plate and top with puff pastry; crimp edges. Brush puff pastry with egg. Bake, until golden brown, puffed, and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

Pole Position (Formula 1 x lectora)

Resumen: la semana de Navidad podía ser un momento mágico para la mayoria de la gente, pero para Tania era un desastre. Estaba lejos de casa, ocupada y con el preocupante sentimiento de que algo raro comenzaba a cocinarse en el ámbito.

~ Capitulo anterior Capítulo siguiente ~

Masterlist de capítulos

Masterlist de mi autoría

~ XXVI ~

~ AlexDwayne98 ha preguntado: ¿Pasarás Navidad en tu casa? ~

—Noup. Por temas de agenda y presupuesto no puedo andar paseándome por Sudamérica como se me antoje. Asi que no puedo ir a casa otra vez... Seguro cene con Mary y luego pasee a la deriva... ya veré quién me hace un lugarcito en algún lado para desvelarnos y embriagarnos.—

Después de despedirse de Charles y Carlos en Argentina, la mujer se tomó unos días para actualizar su pasaporte, permisos y demás cuestiones que le permitieran asegurar su estadía en Estados Unidos. Solo entonces volvió a Michigan.

Tania llevaba un buen rato armando el árbol de navidad de su sala, contestando tonterías que preguntaban en el chat. Tenia la tarde libre y quiso prender stream unas horitas antes de dormir.

No iba a negar que le daba un poco de pena estar lejos de sus padres en aquel momento, pero la verdad era que no sería la primera vez lejos de casa en festividades.

Trabajando en el TC estuvo en sus tierras, si. Tal vez en otra provincia, pero siempre en tierra argentina. Se sentía en casa. Pero en la Formula 2 pasó meses fuera del pais. Y ahora se repetía la historia. Gajes del oficio, o al menos con eso le gustaba justificar.

~ OllieBearman ha preguntado: ¿Ebrios en la azotea mirando fuegos artificiales? *carita feliz* ~

—Ahi lo tienen, gente. Oliver me ha dado un lugar.—Tania miró el chat sonriente—. Creo que no se me pudo haber ocurrido un mejor plan...—

Lando no se perdía un directo de la chica jamás. Y si no podía seguirlo en el momento, le gustaba mirarlos completos como algo "de fondo".

Esa tarde de stream su atención estaba en las docenas de conceptos que les habían enviado los diseñadores de su marca para ser revisados, pero su mirada no tardaba en volver hacia la pantalla si escuchaba reír a Tania o si sentía que podía estar haciendo algo divertido.

Le encantaba esa aura luminosa tan querible de la mujer. Lando aceptó eso. Y al mismo tiempo lo preocupaba.

Estaba cayendo. Como en un pozo de arena movediza. Y cuanto más lo negaba, más lo pensaba, y más entendía lo mucho que comenzaba a necesitar tener aunque sea un poquito de la chica cada dia.

Ver sus streams, investigar videos viejos, o incluso escuchar los audios que le mandaba cuando jugaban videojuegos...

Lando estaba hasta el cuello.

~ Sarahcute97 ha preguntado: ¿Cómo resististe una semana bajo el mismo techo que Leclerc? ~

Lando miró la pantalla con aquella pregunta.

~¿quién dijo que resistí?... ¡Es broma!~Tania rió enseguida, sin poder mantener la seriedad~. Ya, ya... Es broma... ¿O no?... Ya, bueno.—volvió su atención al árbol, que trastabilló por un mal movimiento de la mujer~. Yo no caería ante los hechizos de ese hermoso y carismático hombre porque... Pues porque somos colegas. Eso no pasaría nunca.~

~ CharlesLeclerc16 ha preguntado: ¿Soy hermoso y carismático? *Carita avergonzada* ~

~¿Qué dicen, chat? ¿Consideran a Charlie guapo?~

Lando tuvo que hacer un gran esfuerzo por no apagar todo.

~Por cierto, hablando de colegas pilotos... Ya casi termino el proyecto del auto. ¿Les parece hacer una votación y designamos butacas para el primer paseo en el Camaro?~

—No puedo aceptarlo.—

Lando levantó la mirada de los monitores, encontrándose con Tania. Sonrió emocionado, pues hace mucho no la veia en persona.

No desde aquella vez...

—¿Qué cosa, cariño?—

—El dinero, Lando.—la chica frunció apenas el ceño—. Me hiciste una transferencia anoche y ya no contestaste mis mensajes.—

El par de pilotos, al igual que los otros 20 ya confirmados, había viajado al centro de conferencias de la FIA para algunas discusiones sobre nuevas pautas, y Tania aprovechó para confrontar a Lando. Le había transferido dinero, con la excusa de ganar el asiento para el stream.

—Dijiste que el que recaudaba más dinero ganaba ¿No es suficiente?—

—Por votaciones, Lando. No quiero que me des dinero.—le extendió un cheque—. Ten, te lo devuelvo.—

Lando lo tomó confundido, no entendía la insistencia de la mujer con rechazar el dinero.

—... ¿No quieres que te acompañe en el auto?... ¿Es por lo de la otra noche?—Tania miró de inmediato alrededor. No había nadie cerca.

—No menciones esas cosas al aire, idiota.—

—¿Te da vergüenza?—sonrió, pero a la chica no le hizo gracia—. Ya, perdón.—

—Si quieres tu asiento, ve y dile a Max que te haga publicidad, pídele a tus fans que voten por ti, no sé. Piensa algo.—

—¿Votarás por mi entonces? Eres mi fan número 1 después de todo.—Tania se relajó un poco, y para sorpresa de Lando, atrapó su mentón con firmeza.

—Si llegas a ganar, cuida lo que dirás en el stream... Hay cosas que se tienen que guardar para la privacidad ¿No crees?—ladeó apenas su rostro, dejando un beso en su mejilla. Y entoces el piloto recordó aquella noche.

Amo tus lunares, Lando... ¿Cuántos tienes?... ¿Me muestras?

Sintió un escalofrío al recordar como dejaba un beso en cada marquita que encontraba.

—No te aguantas una broma.—Tania lo despeinó un poquito, alejándose al ver que entraba un ingeniero a la sala—. Bueno, Norris. Nos vemos luego. Suerte en el sorteo.—

La mujer salió del lugar, dejando a Lando hecho un desastre.

—Kimi, corazón mío.—

Tania abrazó enseguida al chico que se acercaba apurado a ella, devolviéndole el abrazo enseguida.

—Pará pará, no digas boludeces. Yo soy tu corazón, sacá al enano este.—Franco se acercó junto a Alex.

—Mi niño ganador, felicidades.—Tania abrazó a Fran—. Vi las premiaciones, estabas hermoso.—

—Me habría visto incluso más hermoso si mi compañera me hubiese acompañado.—

—Ah, no tenía tiempo. A diferencia de ti, mi trabajo no se limita a apoyar el culo en el asiento y ya.—

—Buah, buah.—

Los 22 pilotos se sentaron en la enorme mesa redonda del lugar junto a los máximos directivos de la FIA.

Tania tenía a Franco y Mary de un lado y a Kimi y Lewis del otro. Charlaba de tonterías sin mucho interés, incluso se había emocionado porque Lewis le consultó sobre lo del stream. Tal vez no era seguidor -acosador- como Lando o Charles, pero se enteraba por las redes de algunas cosas. Y le resultó interesante lo del paseo. Si ganaba, y tenía ese día libre, asistiría sin problemas.

—Yo voy a ganar, aviso por si acaso.—Carlos se unió a la charla—. Sería triste que me ganara otro asiento.—

Tania sonrió apenas, ignorando la curiosidad de Lewis por el significado de aquello.

Cuando la reunión finalmente empezó, Tania no prestó mucha atención. La nueva reglamentación la sabía al pie de la letra, desde hace semanas. Todo su equipo sabía lo impulsiva y peligrosamente arriesgada que era en determinadas situaciones. Y no es que dudaran de su capacidad de adaptación o de manejo, pero por problemas en el pasado de Tania, Mary creyó prudente que la chica supiera muy bien qué podía hacer y qué no en el margen reglamentario.

Antes de que te golpeen, ataja el golpe. Simple.

Así que las docenas de nuevas reglamentaciones y todo lo que eso podía significar en la pista, Tania ya lo había revisado.

Estos soretes no me van a inventar nada raro...

Por alguna rara -no tan rara- razón, algunos pilotos tenían mil y un problemas con acusaciones. Max Verstappen lo había denunciado sin pelos en la lengua en más de una ocasión, Tania estaba de acuerdo. Lo había vivido en carne propia toda su carrera. Racismo...

Asi que pensaba preveer cada posible situación desfavorable y escudarse en la reglamentación...

Siempre y cuando su temperamento no se anticipe a la jugada...

—¿Qué haces?—

Tania se dio un leve sobresalto cuando Kimi le habló.

—¿A dónde se van todos?—miró confundida como todos se levantaban.

—Tendremos un break para tomar aire o comer... No estabas escuchando ¿No?—el chico sonrió al ver los vagos garabatos de la chica en su "libreta de apuntes".

—¿Dijeron 33 reglas nuevas del reglamento de seguridad?—Kimi asintió—. Entonces no son nuevas, solo que tú no las leíste antes... ¿Vamos por un sándwich?—

Cuando Tania se levantó, sus vagos garabatos los dejó sin mucho cuidado en la mesa, sin imaginar que alguien los tomaría sin permiso.

—Ya me parecía que estaba escribiendo mucho ¿Qué fueron ahora? ¿Peces?—Lando vio a Carlos acercarse, sin darle tiempo a reaccionar por el papel en su manos—. Son lindos ¿No? Me ha dibujado disfrazado de chilli. Es genial.—

—Carlos...—el hombre miró a Lando, quien no parecía muy tranquilo—. Hay algo que quiero preguntarte respecto a tu estadía en Argentina pero... No sé si quiero escuchar la respuesta.—

Antes de poder decir algo, un pequeño avioncito de papel sobrevoló la mesa ya vacía, y la risa de Tania no tardó en captar su atención. La chica levantó el avioncito del suelo, mirando risueña a un Charles igual de alegre del otro lado de la mesa. No tardó en salir detrás de ella.

—... No, no quieres.—Carlos no volteó a mirar a Lando hasta que el par salió de la sala.

Lando presionó la hoja entre sus manos.

—Serán muchos rookies en pista... ¿Chocarán mucho?—

—Menos que Stroll seguro.—Tania vio a Yuki acercarse a paso tranquilo, sonriendo enseguida por su espontánea respuesta.—. Es una mierda lo de Red Bull, Yuki. Merecías ese lugar.—

—Es raro escuchar a alguien del ámbito decirlo tan directamente, todos cuidan tanto lo que dicen aqui...—

—Ah, que se pudran.—la chica le tendió el paquete de gomitas, invitándolo a servirse. Yuki no tardó en sentarse a su lado y comer de los dulces—. Siento que se manejaron muy mal. Contigo, con Checo, Esteban... Max merece un buen auto, un buen compañero. Bueno, tampoco sé si tú serías un buen compañero, eh.—el chico sonrió, y Tania adoró ese pequeño espacio entre sus dientes.

—Me habría esforzado, de verdad.—

—¿Sin insultos e ironías?—alzó las cejas divertida—. Bueno, si te sirve de consuelo, a Liam no pienso dejarlo pasar. Que se acostumbre a mirarme el alerón trasero porque otra cosa no verá.—se llevó unas gomitas a la boca—. Cambiando de tema... Juegas Valorant ¿No? ¿Quieres hacer team con Alex y conmigo?—

Missing you

Khalil Payne moved to Akashic Valley in order to protect Jennifer, the love of his life. He feared relapsing into painkiller and killing the Pierce family. Here he had no friends, no family, no home. At least here he was far from Freeland.

He had tried to forget Jennifer Pierce, the girl he loved and left behind. He had tried to erase the memories of their time together, the kisses, the laughs, the promises. He had tried to convince himself that he was better off without her, that she deserved someone who wasn't a monster. But he couldn't forget her. He couldn't stop thinking about her. He couldn't stop dreaming about her. He struggled daily to resist the temptation to go back to Freeland and see Jennifer and his friends there.

The only thing helping him resist this temptation is getting updates from TC during their monthly appointments. Where they try to remove the kill order in Painkiller.

Today was one of those appointments that resulted in failure as the previous ones were. To distract himself from the failure he asked TC for updates on everyone there. To which TC updated him on the new school program of robotics that he has enrolled in to better their chances of removing the kill order and his new girlfriend. When asked about Jennifer TC hesitated to tell him that she had moved on Connor Hawke, the son of the former Green Arrow, Oliver Queen.

He immediately hung up and went to his room. There he felt a surge of emotion, a mix of anger, jealousy, and longing. He couldn't believe that Jennifer had moved on and she was with someone who wasn''t him. He wanted to see her, to talk to her, to hold her. He wanted to tell her that he was sorry, that he still loved her, that he wanted to be with her.

But he knew he couldn't. He knew that if he approached her, he would put her in danger. He knew that Painkiller would try to kill her, or worse. He knew that he had to stay away from her, for her own sake. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but he couldn't. He saw her face in his mind, her smile, her eyes, her hair. He heard her voice in his ears, her laugh, her whisper, her scream. He felt her touch on his skin, her lips, her hands, her tears. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. He felt a tear roll down his cheek. He whispered to himself, "I miss you, Jen. I miss you so much."

[panie-wanie-dean-bean]

Ok, new ocs! Not only that though, these ocs will be placed into a separate universe/cannon than Little Town (That's not to say you can't ask for crossovers if you're one of the few who enjoy my little guys, just know they don't naturally share the same space)

These ocs are in a Big City but the things that tie them all together are the fact that they're all hybrids and they all work at the same hybrid cafe

Now, for any of you who don't know (I don't blame you) my hybrid aus have a few rules. These Hybrids have only been around a few generations, the first hybrids were made by humans in a lab, all hybrids lean towards the "neko" body type (They're mostly human but with the ears, tails, scales, wings, and or behavioral tendencies found in their animal counterparts), and all hybrids can be adopted or bought (Their society doesn't allow them independence)

Since the hybrids were made by humans, some lean more towards stereotypes than others. All cow hybrids produce milk, for example. Gender, hormones, or whether or not they've had a kid does not matter, it's just a puberty thing for them

Now, a hybrid cafe is a mixture of both cat cafes and maid cafes. The hybrids themselves serve you and can even preform if you pay for it, but you can adopt any hybrid that catches your eye while you're there

I will now list all the characters the work in this cafe briefly, I will give each of them their own intros later for more detail

Ben the Polar Bear: He's big and tough and mean looking. He's actually a softy but the heat of being in the wrong climate makes his sensory issues kick in, so he's constantly overstimulated on the job

Clemintine the Calico Cat: They're constantly high on catnip and acts very mellow and hippy dippy. When they're sober they're a panic ridden mess who locks themselves in their room

Delilah the Border Collie: Very laid back and chill. Has some milf/ cow girl vibes to her. If you become friends she will feed you every time she sees you. No is not an option

Benny the Ghost Bat: A gremlin mixed with a crypted? He likes hanging out on the ceiling and scaring people and can be caught eating pre-shredded cheese from the bag at 3 AM. She has insanely good hearing to the point of catching a lot of secrets so she chooses to almost never speak so she can't let anything slip

Greg the Leopard Gecko: Himbo with a lot of emotional intelligence. It can take one look at you and become your therapist, and it will if it's already your friend

Gabriel the Dutch Landrace Goat: The oldest of all the hybrids. He makes himself unlikeable to the patrons to make sure he can stay and take care of the others or any newbies that come in. Gilf

Fiona the Arctic Fox: Bimbo girl boss? Very "they asked for no pickles" once she likes you. Very friendly, but will do a 180 if they catch you fucking with their friends. Loves iced black coffee

Cassandra the Carrion Crow: Goth gf/ vampire vibes. Actually a fucking dork. Knows a lot about "sky stuff" weather, lift, the stars. She dreams about being able to fly some day (The city has rules against it but some places in the country let bird or bug hybrids fly openly)

River the Holland Lop Rabbit: Looks and acts very cutesy but will not hesitate to put you in the hospital. A bit "yandere" towards his coworkers. Has consensually collected a small vial of each of their blood and wears them on a necklace, making sure to change who he's wearing every day

Alexzander the White Albino Axolotl: He's just, so excited to be here you guys! Constantly acts like they're on a sugar high. Wants to see the world!!! When ever he does eventually crash he usually cries about never achieving his dream

Blake the Bumble Bee: Scatterbrained workaholic. They're always either doing something or going somewhere. They say it's because sitting still makes them feel weird but they actually feel the need to prove themself constantly. Terrified of being alone "What is a bee without their hive?"

Olive the Barn Owl: Smart ass. The "glasses character" if you will. Likes to turn her head 180 to freak people out. She drinks black coffee because she thinks it makes her look cool but fucking hates it. In love with the cafe's "pink Sparkle drink" but will throw herself off a cliff before admitting it. Cares a lot about the other hybrids, but again, cliff

[tc-doherty]

It's very silly and not important at all but I still had fun writing these conversations so please enjoy Oliver getting teased for talking too much:

"Who can say?" Oliver chuckled, and finally to a bite out of his bread. He then raised the remaining piece towards Lady Teresa. "Delicious as always," he said. "You might have found it more so had you eaten it while it was warm," she said dryly, but clearly used to this exact thing happening. She even smiled while she said it, something Patrice had not yet seen. "Naturally, naturally," he said. "One of these days I'll manage it."

*

"So young Oliver," Duke Marcus said, "fattening off of our hospitality again I see?" "What a stingy attitude, considering you're my future father-by-marriage. Besides, you know I'll make up for it. I’ll look over your account books later." "Much obliged. Did you at least manage to partake of your meal before it grew cold?" Oliver laughed, and then the Duke laughed, and then the conversation veered quickly – first into Duke Marcus inquiring about Oliver's family before turning into a more general conversation about estates and the running of them.

🌲 Headspace 🌲

Description: A cozy lakeside single story wooden cabin in a large forest in rural Michigan(pulled from a childhood memory). Slightly whimsical, think Cosmo Sheldrake. It's fully stocked, insulated, hooked up, etc. so bugs/climate aren't a problem. The forest is quite large, perfect for meditation or a calming walk. Alters who sleep have their own rooms inside the cabin, decorated accordingly including bathrooms and a mini fridge because it be like that sometimes.

-ㅤwelcome to vivien's tc blog. 🍃

in this blog, i will mostly be talking about my tc(s), other topics that will be included are mental health and attachments at most.

ABOUT VIVIEN .

hello and welcome to my blog! my name is vivien and i am a lesbian who's a sophomore in high school (sixteen yrs old), and also happens to be a person of color! (triple threat 𖹭) i am a new member of the community, just recently discovering it almost a year ago. i really hope to meet new friends and people while on here! other than that, here are 5 things about me.

my favorite subjects are history, chinese, and english.

i have ADHD, which affects my learning a little but doesn't mean i can't manage!

i listen to mainly k-pop and alternative music, some of my favorite artists being aespa, newjeans, eyedress, and girl in red.

i have been having such teacher crushes for 3 years now, all of them female and above the age of 22.

i absolutely love talking to people, so don't be afraid and message me if you'd like!

MY CURRENT TC .

🩷 M - (code name: DEMURE.) M is my current and only TC at the moment due to it being so early in the school year. She teaches my PE class which I have as my 4th block/last class. M has a sweet voice and the prettiest light green eyes i've ever seen. She has really dark hair which contrasts her eyes and beautiful olive skin. Her body looks absolutely different from her face, having quite a hourglass figure which makes her look even more amazing. She has a great personality, just a talkative woman with a big heart who loves to help others and teach. M is a little bossy but I don't mind it since she is always helping me. M and I have a 10-year age gap, myself being 16 and M being 26. I would describe her as one of the only TC's I've had that so closely coincides with my type in a woman, personality & looks wise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MORE TC'S TO COME IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

something crazy happened earlier today and i want to know if im being delusional.

so Oliver (my tc) was sitting as his desk while we work on our independent essays and occasionally calling students up to discuss revisions on our previous assignment. when he called me up he first complimented my lipstick??? and said it was his favourite shade of red??? and not only that but he told me he knew my work could be better and said he was “really looking forward to reading what your brain comes up with” ???? am i crazy?
