#Tim is feeling Bonita

[lazy-klown]

So I’m reading this fic where the crew are all wearing dresses and I just had to draw the outfits. Look at them so happy and alive

I blame @fatherofpuppets for this

@solitaaaaaairrrre

[antlergrave]

tim sketch wip

[fishymom-art]

hello fishy!! i think itd be epic if you drew the mh boys in skirts and/or dresses

might be a bit uncomfortable for running in the woods, but he does look quite stunning

also, if you don't specify which boy you want me to draw, I'll always draw Tim automatically hehehhehe

[nochance-noway]

satisfied that while he was able to confirm that something different _is_ going on, croc is not up to anything nefarious. and the meta he’s with appears capable of handling herself, giggling with delight at croc’s agreement. unlikely to be there by force.

eager to put distance between them, tim swiftly and silently creeps out of the sewer.

a distant part of his mind connects the uncanny feeling he had when he first dropped down with the realization that the sewer, does not smell any different than the ground above, where he stood now.

unrealistically, he acknowledged, it may actually smell better.

laughing, he moved on. normally, he might have investigated more, as is his nature. but he put it out of his mind for now. there were more productive things to do than worry about croc and his new meta friend

(he will however write a casual, but detailed report on what he witnessed and slip it into the batcomputer’s patrol logs. no need to be sloppy. and definitely no need to alert anyone that he went into the potentially dangerous sewers without notifying anyone prior)

tim admits that croc really does look bonita though

Imagine dani meeting killer croc.

She was just flying through gotham on her way to another adventure in a random country when she saw the giant reptilian entering a sewer cover.

Dani admits that maybe she shouldn't have followed the giant, but in her defence, she could easily defend herself and knock the croc unconscious if he tried anything.

Killer Croc had just gotten to a quarter of his territory when her heard a young female voice from behind him "P.U!" Turning quickly he let out a growl at the sight of the floating teen, covering her nose and smiling cheekily.

"Oh brother, this place stinks!" She giggled before flying towards him quickly and stopping in front of him, dodging his snapping jaw with a teasing smile."What's up, Croc?"

Killer croc hadn't made any appearances for about a week, not even a civilian report about spotting him.

The bat didn't think anything of it, yes it was a bit suspicious but there have been other times croc just took a break from being a menace to gotham for a while. Something was different about this time though, Tim felt it in his gut.

If he had to figure it out himself, so be it.

Now was the perfect time, dick was in bludhaven, jason was busy with another drug lord trying to make their way up the chain, Damian was benched for who knows how long and batman was following a lead to the joker.

Tim knew where croc frequented the most and fell into the sewers with a soft splash. Almost immediately, he heard chatter, one a soft female voice and the other a deep rasp that he recognised as killer Crocs.

Tim's heart sank to his stomach as he quickly and stealthy rushed to where the voices were coming from. The worst scenarios came to mind. Did Croc kidnap a girl? What was a girl doing in the sewers? Was she hurt?

Skidding to a stop, he pulled out a batarang and prepared to attack, stopping in his tracks at what he saw.

A white-haired female meta was puffing up a bow on the reptilian head, floating a few feat off the ground to do so before pulling out a mirror from god knows where and turning it to show his reflection.

His scales looked to be scrubbed clean, the tips of his claws painted a bubblegum pink and make-up done over his face. "Do you feel bonita?" The croc took the comically small mirror in-between two of his claws, careful not to accidently break it as he brought it close and scrutinised his appearance before nodding and growling out "I feel bonita"

[that-one-creepy-hoe]

Could we maybe get some headcanons on what a night with Tim/Masky, Brian/hoodie, or Eyeless Jack would look like? What they’re like before heading off to sleep, what they do as part of their routines, how they get comfortable, etc? 🫶

I love this ask because it lets me be delulu in my love for my three favorite men <3

Warnings: Mostly just fluff/ Mentions of sex in hoodie and EJ's part but no actual sex occurs

Brian/ Hoodie

I think that Brian/ Hoodie gets the most sleep out of these three men. While he does have nightmares about his past that plague him during his sleep he has no trouble falling right back into sleep

I also headcanon this man as an extremely heavy sleeper, like the kind where he Has to sleep with his phone right next to his head so that way he can actually hear when he’s being summoned. 

Probably gets about 7-8 hours of sleep on a GREAT day and about 5 to 6 on average. He is also a morning person but isn’t happy about it.

Like he has no issue being awake early for work, but makes it everyone’s problem that he’s awake until he gets truly awake (which doesn’t happen til 9 am)

I also feel like he cannot stay awake at night for the life of him. Like the only way you could get this man to stay up late for anything is sex tbh

I also feel like Hoodie cannot sleep in for the life of him while Brian will have zero issues sleeping in til 9 or 10 am

This man does not know what a morning shower is. What do you mean ‘Just go to sleep after I get home?’ That’s disgusting! He HAS to shower before he sleeps or he feels dirty. While he wouldn’t judge you for it most times he definitely will (not so subtly) subtly ask if you wanna shower with him. He also probably has a mini skincare routine to wash his face bc it makes him feel Bonita 

I also headcanon that he has a little autism in him (same) and HAS to do these things before he feels comfy enough to sleep. If he doesn’t then he gets a shit amount of sleep and feels like shit the next day.

This man can only sleep if he’s facing you, especially if he is cuddled up next to you. He feels restless if he doesn’t have you or something to curl up into. Probably sleepily mumbles to you about random things before he passes out mid-sentence.  

Has one of those deep-in-his-chest snores that you can only hear against his chest 

Tim/ Masky

Tim definitely gets shit for brain sleep. Like he has to take some STRONG-ass sleeping pills to keep himself asleep for more than 3 hours. Speaking of which, he probably doesn't get more than 5 hours of sleep on a good day because of this. His nightmares accompanied by the looming thoughts of work make it hard for him to truly relax.

He’s NOT a morning person and is a night owl by nature. Mostly because of all of the paperwork that he has to do before his day is truly over. 

This man probably takes naps right after work before he starts all his paperwork so he can get all of his things done. Speaking of this, don’t ever interrupt his nap. He uses this time to decompress from the stress of being Slender’s bitch. Like even Tim is a pissy fuck when he cannot sleep after work.

The most you can get him to do right before bed is to shower if he is particularly gross but most times he just takes all of his dirty clothes off of him and leaves his boxers on and that’s it. 

He is basically the opposite of Brian/ Hoodie when he is about to fall asleep. He cannot sleep facing people, it makes him feel too vulnerable but typically ends up waking up with you cuddled up to him. The closest you could get to him facing you is if he falls asleep on the couch next to you. In which case he just leans on you or lays his head in your lap. 

Once he starts to get sleepy he just straight up stops talking. Like he only answers in grunts and he refuses to speak actual sentences. 

Jack

I am in love with him and we’re married so I have a LOT to say abt this fine man

ANYWAYS

He also has a routine but he is less skincare and more like, I HAVE to check every door three times, take a shower, make sure every pillow is in order TWICE, and brush my teeth. Like he HAS to make sure everything is checked upon before he sleeps or else he either A) feels like he’s not safe or B) is too irritated to fall asleep

I feel like he will refuse to sleep unless your sleep with him. He will just straight up go days without sleeping until his body forces him to.

Like I feel like in general he doesn’t need much sleep at night to function at 100% he really only needs about 4-5 hours AT MOST before he’s ready for the day

Makes sure you are as comfortable as him before he sleeps

He’ll ask you what you need to do before you sleep and will either do it with you or do it himself so that he can spend as much time with you in bed

He probably just spends 5 hours a night sleeping and the rest of the night curiously watching you sleep just because it brings him comfort (And horny sometimes). Watching you be so vulnerable with him that you’d fall asleep by his side brings him comfort (and sometimes a hard-on) 

He sleeps pretty easily and doesn’t really have dreams but when he does they’re nightmares from his past that keep him awake for the rest of the night

Sometimes if they’re really bad he’ll cry in his sleep and kick like he’s running in his dream. This will probably have you awake before he jumps awake from his dream in a cold sweat.

All it takes is to cuddle up by his side and comfort him as you lazily rub his chest before he can be soothingly be coaxed back into sleep

He is like a puppy where he makes grunts or growls and moves a lot from his dreams

Don’t mention it or he will be too embarrassed to sleep in the same bed as you again

I feel like he would have an old dog snore if he’s really exhausted or like a throaty snore regularly 

[queerryan]

Tim: do you, or do you not feel bonita?

Jason in a dress for undercover mission: I feel bonita.

Tim: wonderful because you look bonita. Gracias cariño, Roy it's gonna loose it.

In 1959, an alien experiment crashes to earth and infects a fraternity member. They freeze the body, but in the modern day, two geeks pledging a fraternity accidentally thaw the corpse, which proceeds to infect the campus with parasites that transform their hosts into killer zombies.

A homicide, or a bad B-movie? Not exactly what you would call an unknown horror comedy, but there is the distinct feeling that it should be better known. As its cult fan base will attest, this is blast of a movie, a homage to the “B” schlockers of lore. Directed by Fred Dekker, the premise sees some alien beings eject a flask of alien slugs down to earth, which lands at a fraternity campus, something which cause mayhem some years later when a frozen body is disturbed at the medical lab and the slugs are unleashed. Cue infestation that turns people into zombies! The pic plays up to the clichés of fraternity based movies, with nerds and nudity on tap, all smothered in a gooey horror comedy sauce. One-liners are ripe, the characterisations also, the latter of which fronted by a glorious Tom Atkins as a hard drinking hard – boiled detective with issues and quips ready to be poured out. It’s not genius film making, but given the low budget it deserves its cult status, because it never pauses for breath and it’s very aware of what it wants to be – and crucially who its target audience is. 7/10 Dsnake1: Night of the Creeps is a fantastic movie to watch in many different situations: with friends, at a sleepover, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the day, and so many more. It’s an easy to watch flick, and it contains the right balance of horror elements, gore, campiness, humor, and absurdity to make each viewing as enjoyable as the last. It’s got a touch of body-stealing aliens, a touch of zombies, a touch of traditional serial killer, all mixed with all the fun that can come fro...

Meses sin escribir y desahogarme... Han pasado muchas cosas que debo de pensar j analizar muy bien.

Como lo sospechaba Joe me estaba siendo infiel, mi intuición es una cosa barbara, me asusta de lo mucho que llego a presentir algo y se vuelva verdad. Lo que me ayuda a tener paz en que Ponch si no me dio baje, solamente se acabó el amor.

Pero bueno, descrubi a Joe siendo me infiel, se lo dije, me hizo ver como la loca, le dije a la chera también, Leah, de verdad q linda ella, se parece demasiado demasiado a mi, mismos gustos, misma personalidad e incluso él me dijo q se parecía mucho a mi, q le recordaba demasiado a como era yo, hasta le había puesto la misma princesa que a mí. La primera vez q me habló de ella lo presentí y fue verdad.

Terminamos, lo hice ver como la mierda que es... ahora, yo también le hice lo mismo, solo que él nunca lo supo, ni lo sabrá. Soy una hipócrita. Yo sabía que nunca íbamos a ser más de lo q fuimos, lo supe desde el principio pero me aferre demasiado, me acostumbre a su presencia y ese fue mi error. Me duele, claro y mucho, por él no, por mi ego, por mi autoestima, por mi deseo de querer ser vista y amada, por la seguridad que me daba estar con él y que me viera bonita.

Ahora se que la verdad a cualquiera veía bonita. Todas las red flags estaban ahí y con neón y yo las ignore, las decidí ignorar.

Sólita me metí en esto y sólita voy a salir. Me da mucha ansiedad pensar en q no volveré a hablar con él y si lo extraño muchísimo, al final si lo quise, y pues si me hará demasiada falta.

Tengo miedo de no encontrar lo que tuve con él en alguien más... si era muy dulce y tierno y eso fue lo q de verdad me gustó de él. La dinámica de daddy and baby bear, eso lo extrañare demasiado. Pero primero dios encuentre eso con mi verdadero amor.

Le tengo que reconocer que todos mis amores pasados fue el único que me pidió perdón por lo que hizo. Al final acepto su responsabilidad, si de verdad lo sentía o no pues será algo q solo él sabrá, si creo q lo siente y se arrepiente, espero la verdad que encuentre paz. Al final yo le hice lo mismo, exactamente lo mismo... me pagaron con la moneda que yo misma use, no me puedo litigar por eso hacerme la víctima porque no lo soy... solo fui más lista q él ya que nunca se dio cuenta.

Tim... ahí esta, quizás estará para siempre, quizás no. Ya no me angustia como antes. Que haga lo q quiera, vivo mi vida independiente de la de él.

Leo, lo amo, en la forma más platónica posible. Es mi amigo, y le deseo la mayor felicidad del mundo.

Antonio, I'm catching feelings... es tonto, lo sé. Pero intentaré no clavarme. Es divertido y hablamos, somos amigos y hasta ahí. Me gusta su risa y giggles, son tan cute.

En fin... Joe, me despedido de ti, otro amor a la lista, me hubiera gustado que funcionará y que hubiéramos hecho realidad todo lo que en más de una vez hablamos u soñamos... creo q ambos sabíamos que nunca se harían realidad, pero los dos decidimos engañarnos.... no te puedo odiar ni lo haré nunca. Te deseo paz, así como la deseo para mk también. Encontrar lo que los dos buscamos y merecemos... adiós daddy bear, te amé y una chiquita parte de mi siempre siempre te extrañara.

carne asada

a/n: hey guys ! i feel like there’s no latina fanfics out there and being salvadorian i think that SUCKS so I’m here to change it >:) i included translations for the Spanish parts so even if u don’t know it you can still enjoy it ! Feel free to request :-)

in which you culture timothée goes to the family carne asada for the first time

“mon amour how does this look?” Timothée asked, emerging from the room in a loose button up shirt and nice pants. He looked great, much too formal for a Hispanic cook out though. You smiled at him, “ay amor, it looks good, maybe put on some jeans instead of dress pants though” you teased him, watching his face flush red before he quickly went back into the room to change once more.

You quickly replied to your moms text, telling her you would be on your way in a couple minutes. Soon timothée rushed out of the room, look at you for reassurance. You smiled sweetly at him, standing up and walking over to the nervous boy.

“they’re going to love you bebe i promise you, the worse that can happen is that they hate you and call you un baboso or something” you assured your boyfriend, laughing as his eyes went wide. “I’m joking! They already love you” you giggled, placing a small kiss on his cheek before turning around and swiping the keys off the table, walking to the door and making sure you weren’t forgetting anything.

“you ready?” You turned to your boyfriend, he smiled at you softly before running a hand through his hair and nodding, you tossed the keys at him and he caught them quickly. You held the door open for him and he laughed at how you bowed slightly for him, quickly following suit. You locked the door and headed to your car.

The drive there was relaxing for you, laughing and pointing things out from your childhood as you drive into your neighborhood. Timmy tried his best to pay attention, but his mind was racing, he always read how Hispanic parents were always so critical of everything, how could he not be scared?

“amor? estás poniendo atención?” (are you paying attention) you looked at him, he quickly turned to you before focusing back on the road. “oh what? yeah sorry- just really nervous still” he replied, biting his bottom lip for a couple seconds before letting out a shaky breath. Although he didn’t know Spanish you always spoke it around him, translating after he would look at you like a helpless puppy, so he had picked up on a few phrases.

You never felt bad when you talked to him in Spanish since he did the same thing to you but in French. Sometimes just to get back at him you would talk to him in only Spanish and he would get frustrated because the little Spanish he knew flew out the window when you spoke. Between the slang words you used, how fast you were speaking and how attractive he found you speaking Spanish was the boy was mesmerized.

“angelito you don’t need to be nervous, i promise you they’re going to love you” you assured the nervous boy, placing a hand on his thigh as he continued to drive. He relaxed a little bit, smiling at you for a second before pulling into your street. He let out a shaky breath as he parked the car, looking in the mirror to check his hair one more time. He quickly rushed out of the car to open your door and help you out, you gladly took his hand as he locked the car. Even from where you were parked you could hear the music blasting and the sound of your family bickering and laughing. You smiled, excited for your boyfriend to experience a real carne asada with you and to meet your family.

“you ready?” You asked him, “not at all ma cherie” he spoke, you felt his hands get clammy, you smiled at him, kissing him in the cheek. “Wipe your hands on your jeans and calm down” you giggled, walking up to the front door, as you were about to ring the doorbell the door swung open to reveal your mom.

“mijita! ay te e extrañado tanto mi amor! Que chula te miras” (darling! I’ve missing you so much honey, you look so cute) your mom began, taking you into a warm embrace and scanning you all over to take in any differences from the span of several months since you had visited. “I missed you too mom” you replied, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

“y este bicho guapo?” (who’s this handsome boy) Your mom began causing you to burst out laughing. “mom this is timothée my boyfriend” you smiled, moving to the side so timmy could hug your mom.

“muy bien conocerla” (it’s so good to meet you) timothee spoke, cringing at his broken Spanish. “It’s okay i know English” your mom smiled at the boy, taking in all his features. “oh okay good because my Spanish is horrible” he laughed nervously, tucking a loose strand of hair behind his ear.

“so good to finally meet you! y/n tells me about you everytime we call” your mom smiled at the boy, you both blushed deeply and he let out a small chuckle. “come inside! You have to meet everyone else!” Your mom moves aside, letting the two of you step into your childhood home. You took your boyfriends hand, leading him in the house, your mom quickly stopped you, letting timmy go in. “si te sacastes uno bueno” (you did get a good one) your mom winked at you and you nodded “ya se mama” (i know mom).

“Y/N!” Your older brothers shouted from the backyard, getting up from their seats and walking over to you, timothee was tense at your side. “hey guys!” You squealed meeting them halfway and giving the two of them a hug, you were the youngest. “how have you been?” You oldest brother, Alex asked. As you were about to answer their eyes landed on timothée. “actually i don’t care, is this the famous timothée? Im Alex” He asked, going over to say hi to the boy by your side, timothée went to extend his hand to shake your brothers hand but it was quickly swatted away by Alex. “nah man give me a hug!” He smiled at your boyfriend and you smiled at the two of them. Timothée hes usted for a second before hugging him back. “It’s good to finally meet you guys! Y/N always tells me stories about the two of you,” your second eldest brother Bryan went in to hug timothée next, towering over him.

“I’m assuming about how he would play with her braids?” Brayan laughed pulling away from the hug after a couple seconds. Timothée let out a breathy laugh, nodding his head. “well if you guys want we have two seats open for you guys” Alex spoke, “mainly for you tim” Bryan added, pushing you away slightly and you furrowed your brows at him, punching his arm. “I leave for like 5 months and this is how you treat me?” You joked as he shoved you once again, laughing as you stumbled a little while trying to overpower him. “well you guys have fun meeting everyone else!” Alex spoke before heading back into the backyard.

The two of you stood in the living room, you turned to timothée. “How you holding up amorcito?” You asked the boy, taking his hand in your and rubbing circles on the back of his hand with your thumb. “pretty good actually, your family is fun” he smiled at you, “i think your brothers like me” he giggled and you nodded at him, “watch by the end of the night they’ll love you more than me.”

The two of you walked into the kitchen, around the small table were two of your aunts and your mom all talking and eating.

“Hola!” You spoke up, cashing your two aunts to turn around and stand up, rushing to hug you. “Ay y/n! Tanto tiempo a pasado!” (y/n! It’s been so long!) Your first aunt spoke as she hugged you tightly, “que Bonita te miras” she spoke, moving to the side so your other aunt could hug you. “Ay mi amor que grande estás ya” (oh love you’ve grown so much) your second aunt spoke, squeezing you tightly as you hugged her back.

“este es mi novio timothée” (this is my boyfriend timothée) you spoke, introducing the beautiful boy next to you, he waved awkwardly, “hola como están?” (hi how are you guys) He spoke nervously as your aunts smiled at him. “Ay que precioso eres!” (You’re so cute!) Your first aunt smiled at the boy, giving him a small hug. “Your eyes are beautiful!” Your second aunt told him, he blushed deeply thanking her. You both stood there for a couple minutes making small talk with your two aunts before finally heading out to the backyard to find your dad.

“okay you’re gonna meet my dad next, trust me he’s super sweet, don’t be scared” you smiled at your boyfriend, you could tell he was shaking from nerves. You stopped him for a second, pulling him into a side hug, wrapping your arm around his waist. “angelito i got you, no matter what i love you okay?” You assured him, he smiled at you and planted a kiss on your cheek, “i love you ma cherie” he spoke, less nervous and ready to meet your dad.

You pulled him along, scanning the backyard to look for your dad, your eyes soon landed on him and you rushed over. “Papa!” You shouted, he whipped his head around and a smile overcame his features, he had missed his little girl so much. “baby! how have you been?” He asked, smiling as he hugged you and kissed you ontop of your head. You sighed into his chest, a smile on your face, “I’ve been good and you? anything new?” You smiled up at him, pulling away and standing next to a newly nervous timmy.

“nothing much, i see someone is new with you though” your dad stated, looking at timmy, scanning him from head to toe, he looked like a good kid, because he was, but you knew your dad was gonna give him a hard time for at least a minute to see his reaction. “Dad this is timothée, my boyfriend” you smiled, timothée immediately extended his hand out, “h-hey it’s good to meet you sir” he spoke, you could hear it in his voice how scared he was. Timmys mind was going a mile a minute, making sure he didn’t do anything to make your family hate him.

“so you’re the one that stole my girl away from me huh?” Your dad spoke, timothée had no ideas what to say. “Dad! Don’t scare him away” you pouted, scowling at your father. “I’m just messing with him! So tell me about yourself timothée” you dad smiled, sitting back down and motioning for your boyfriend to do the same, he quickly followed suit and they fell into conversation, making your dad laugh and talking about his life with him and some funny stories when he began to ramble.

You smiled softly, going to get some food for you and timothée from the kitchen. As you were playing the meat and rice you looked out the window and saw your dad and timothée laughing, you were so happy that your whole family approved, it was rare. Your last boyfriend your dad hated and your mom loved, another guy you brought home they both hated, they had never both liked anyone you had brought home until now.

Your dad glanced at the kitchen window, you were caught up in conversation with your aunts and mom about drama in the community. Your dad turned to timothée, demeanor changing to a more serious one.

“so what exactly are you intentions with y/n? You’re this famous actor with millions, yet you choose to be with a Hispanic girl who isn’t even famous” your dad spoke, skeptical of what he wanted. Timothée looked at your dad, turning to the kitchen window and he could see you covering your mouth in shock at something your mom told you. He smiled at the sight of you. “Listen sir, I love her, so much. She’s so smart and there’s never a dull moment with her, I can’t go a day without her correcting me on something and making me a better person. She always makes me smile and helps everyone around her before she even thinks about herself. I’ve never met anyone more resilient than her, she’s tough and hard headed and is great at debating things she’s passionate about, I fell in love with her because she’s so amazing and we make such a great team, she keeps me grounded and i can’t see my life without her.” Timothée spoke, he was confident in his answer, stuttering a bit here and there, a smile on his face as he talked about you and moved around a bit in the chair.

Your dad looked at him for a second, a stern look on face. Timothée thought he was about to pass out when he met your dads eyes. Your dad smiled at him, pulling him into a hug. “I’m glad you’re with y/n, you’re a great kid and you’re very talented. Welcome to the family mijo,” timothée felt like a weight was lifted from his shoulders, he has overjoyed that everything had gone smoothly.

“hey what did i miss?” You asked, seeing how your dad and timmy were laughing it up and any signs of nervousness were gone. “nothing much” your dad spoke and timmy smiled up at you, helping you with the plates, he got up, letting you have his seat and pushing the chair in a little before taking his own seat.

“well, here is the most authentic carne asada con arroz you will probably ever get, dig in timmy t” you smiled. He thanked you and quickly got some meat, mumbling an “oh my god” before stuffing his face full of the food. You laughed at how eager he was to finish the food, not making a noise as he ate, too busy enjoying every second of it.

“that was the best food I’ve ever had” he spoke, slightly out of breath as he wiped his mouth and drank some water. You smiled at him, still eating your food, “told you it was gonna be fine” you replied after you had swallowed the food in your mouth.

Timmy fit in perfectly after a couple of hours, he got along really well with your brothers, playing a few rounds of beer pong with them and a couple of your cousins. He was amazing with all your aunts, instantly charming them with one smile, all of them talking about him in Spanish since they knew he didn’t know it.

After the sun had set your cousin suggested that you all play Loteria, and who the hell was going o reject that? You dug up all the cards from your room and passed them out to your brothers, timmy and your cousins.

“wait! Why doesn’t timothée read them” one of your cousins suggested, laughing at the thought of him struggling. You looked at him and he shrugged his shoulders, “why not? Pass me the cards” he laughed, everyone cheering him on.

“el sol” he began, smiling since he knew that one. “El para- para guas?” He furrowed his brows as everyone giggled, turning to you he whispered, “ma cherie how do you say that?” You smiled at him, “el paraguas” you replied, he then repressed it louder, everyone clapping as he moved onto the next one. It continued like that for a couple more cards until your cousin got loteria, gloating about it until your brother beat him. Eventually you were stuck reading the cards since no one else wanted to, timothée decided to sit the round out, wanting to hear you talk Spanish as much as he could, your accent cane out when you were around your family and he was living for it.

Eventually everything wrapped up and the two of you were tired, saying goodbye to everyone. “Adios tia ay me manda mensaje para que podamos hacer ese jardin que quiere” you hugged your aunt and timothée felt his heart implode with love, he didn’t know what you were saying but he was in love with how you said it.

After saying goodbye the two of you walked out hand in hand, giggling at something’s that had happened earlier. “Oh my god and when your aunt called out your uncle i almost spat out my drink” timmy laughed, opening the car door for you. You laughed remembering how he had sputtered and nearly choked.

“Did you have a good time?” You asked him, looking at him as he put his seatbelt on. “Of course, it was amazing angel” he smiled, leaning over the console to kiss you. You leaned in and kissed him quickly, pulling away so that he could start driving. “My family loves you bebe” you smiled, looking at the curly headed boy. “I’m glad they do, because i don’t know what i would do if they didn’t” he laughed nervously. Timothée stayed parked for a while, letting the car engine heat up and choosing a Spotify playlist.

As he put the car in drive you looked at him, a smile on your face as you spoke up. “Te amo Timothée Chalamet” he turned to face you, a blush tinting his cheeks and a bashful smile on his face. “Je t’aime y/n y/l/n” he responded, kissing you one more time before pressing play on his phone and driving away from your house, the two of you laughing and singing along the whole ride back.

What Now?

It has been a few days since Tim, Cissie, and Stephanie left the team, and the remaining members were still feeling the sting of it. It was so sudden that it felt like a huge blow. None of them saw this coming. Cassie was in her room trying to watch TV but her mind just kept replaying what happened that day in the Watchtower over and over, just like it for the past few days. She just couldn’t take it anymore and grabbed her phone and sent a group text to her remaining team members.

Cassie: We need to meet up ASAP. We need to talk about this.

She put her phone down and turned back to the TV as she waited for a response. Less than 5 minutes later she got it. Turns out she wasn’t the only one thinking this.

Virgil: Agreed.

Jaime: Same.

Traci: Yes we do.

Bart: Ditto. Whose house are we meeting up at?

Jaime: We can meet at mine. My parents went out and my sister is at a slumber party.

Cassie: Okay lets’ meet at Jaime’s place in an hour. See you guys soon.

One hour later they were all at the Reyes residence sitting in his living room. Five minutes have gone by and no one has said anything. The silence was beginning to be too much.

Cassie sighed. “So I wanted to have this meeting because I just need to get this off my chest. And I’m sure you all know what I’m getting at. I just can’t believe that Tim, Cissie, and Stephanie would just walk out on us like that. Like seriously what was that?!?!”

Bart nodded his head in agreement. “Yeah what they pulled on us was not crash at all.”

“Like didn’t they stop to think about us and how this would affect us as a unit? I mean we are supposed to be a team! There can be no secrets between us….like secrets will just lead to a downfall! I just…..” Cassie couldn’t even finish her sentence. She just put her head in her hands. Traci put a hand on her shoulder.

“I just don’t understand why Tim, Steph, and Cissie would want to leave. I mean we all get along great! Just yesterday the four of us girls were having a meme battle in our girl GroupMe.” Traci said sadly.

“Yeah I know what you mean. Just the other day all of the guys were hanging out in Dakota City for a carnival at Virgil’s school.” Jaime said.

“And we all hung out together this past weekend. Like we even planned on hanging out again this upcoming weekend and then this happens.” Traci said. Bart nodded. “That’s one thing that kills me. Like why make plans with us like that when you knew that this planned resign was going to happen?” Like why gut us like that?” He asked.

“I mean did we do something to make them angry or something?” Traci asked.

“It definitely wasn’t us. They were obviously following orders.” Jaime said, crossing his arms.

“Yeah and that just makes things soooo much better.” Cassie said, rolling her eyes. “That’s not even a good excuse! They have their own minds and are old enough to make their own decisions and stand up to their mentors, just like the original team did!” She said with a huff.

“They obviously agree with their mentors.” Virgil said quietly, looking down. Cassie looked over to him concerned. “Hey Virgil are you okay?” She asked him, remembering that he was basically experiencing not three losses, but four.

“I just….I just don’t understand why he left.” Virgil said sadly. “Yeah what he did to that girl on Rann was awful, but it was an accident! He would never do something like that on purpose! If anything, he needs his teammates around him to support him instead of alienating himself away.” He added. Jaime put a hand on his shoulder.

“I understand, but people deal with things differently hermano. This is just how he’s dealing with this unfortunate situation.” Jaime told him. Virgil closed his eyes, put his head down, and nodded. It was silent for the next minute.

“This is just so sudden.” Traci said softly. “I don’t understand they wouldn’t at least tell us that they were going to leave with their mentors. If you want to leave fine, but at least tell us. I thought we were all friends.” She said, her voice cracking a bit.

Jaime took her hand in his. “Hey hey hey bonita don’t cry. It’s okay.” He told her softly. “Don’t let them upset you like this.”

“But they’re our friends and they left us!” Traci exclaimed.

“If they were really our friends then they would have told us what was up. But did they do that? No, which again, is totally not crash. If they don’t trust us enough to at least tell us what they are feeling and want to do, then I guess they weren’t really our friends.” Bart said sternly with his arms crossed. Again silence took over the room.

After a few minutes, Virgil asked “So……what now?” He was met with silence.

“Well I know one thing,” Cassie said after a few moments of silence. “We need to start a new page with this team. The five of us that are left have got to do better. The five of us won’t do what those three did. We won’t blindside each other. If any of us ever want to leave we will give each other a heads up.” Cassie stated with assertion.

“Agreed. And the same goes with any secrets. We can’t have any secrets from each other that the bad guys could find out and use against us. And I have one that I would like to share with you all.” Bart said, standing up. The others looked at him attentively, waiting for him to continue.

Bart cleared his throat, dramatically inhaled, and put his finger up. “……………..…I was the one that ate Cassie’s Subway sandwich the other day.” Bart stated.

“BART!” Cassie exclaimed, looking at him shocked while the others just about died of laughter. Bart sat back down in his seat with, proud of himself.

“That was really eating me up inside. Thank you for allowing me to have the space to tell that to you all.” Bart said with a smile. Cassie continued to look at him like he had two heads. “Bart I really wanted that damn sandwich. My attitude was shot for the rest of the day, why would you do that?!” Cassie asked him.

Bart shrugged, “I was hungry.” He answered, and that just made Jaime, Traci, and Virgil laugh even harder. Cassie just gave Bart a blank stare and turned away and crossed her arms, “You owe me a Subway sandwich.” She told Bart, pouting.

“You guys it’s not that funny!” Cassie told Jaime, Traci, and Virgil as they continued laughing.

“Holy shit!” Virgil said laughing, with a hand a hand on his chest, “That caught me so off guard! Thanks Bart I needed that laugh.” Virgil told Bart while laughing.

“It’s what I do.” Bart told him smirking. Cassie continued to pout. “Are you guys finished?” She asked her three laughing friends as they calmed down from their laugh attack.

“Yeah…whew….sorry about that Cass. That was funny.” Traci told her. “Hardy har har.” Cassie said, rolling her eyes.

“But no seriously,” Jaime said, wiping a tear from his eye, “Does anyone else have any serious secrets that they want to share?” Everyone looked around shaking their heads, all saying that they have told everyone what they needed to know about them. “Okay great. If something does end up coming up in the future lets’ all agree to continue giving each other this safe space to come clean.” He finished and everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

“Awesome, now to continue this new team slate, we need to take out the trash.” Cassie said with a frown on her face. She pulled out her phone.

“What do you mean by that? What are you doing?” Traci asked her.

“What I mean is, I’m about to delete Tim, Stephanie, and Cissie from our team GroupMe. I.E. taking out the trash.” Cassie said. Traci grabbed her wrist and Cassie turned to look at her. “What?!” Cassie asked her.

“Don’t do that! They’re still our friends!” Traci exclaimed. Cassie looked at her.

“Trac…..we’ve been over this. If they were really our friends, then they would have trusted us enough to tell us they wanted to leave. Plus, they aren’t even members of the team anymore. Why would we want to keep them in the chat?” Cassie asked her.

“Listen I’m not saying you guys are wrong. They should have told us, especially since we were all supposed to be friends,” Traci said looking around at the others, “But all friends go through hiccups, and true friends always come out on top and get through those hiccups. This very well might be one of our hiccups. We need to give them that same safe space we’re giving each other to come to us in the future in case they want to make what they did right.” She said sincerely.

Virgil, Jaime, and Bart looked at each other, and then back at Traci, nodding their heads and smiling. All four then turned to look at Cassie. Cassie looked at them all and then looked down. She let out a sigh. “Okay fine you’re right. I won’t kick them out of the GroupMe. I won’t kick Steph and Cissie out of our girl GroupMe either. And I’m sure the guys won’t kick Tim out of theirs.” She said and Traci smiled even bigger.

“However,” Cassie continued, “I will make a new team GroupMe without them in it. The original one will still be there, but it will be quiet until one of them decides to reach out to us in it. And they have to make the first move.” Cassie said, and everyone could agree with that.

Cassie made the new team GroupMe and invited everyone in the room to join. Once they did, they updated their names to fit them. Cassie looked at all the names and stopped.

“Bart…..” Cassie said.

“What’s up?” Bart said, still on his phone.

“Why is your name Chicken McWhizee Pants?” Cassie asked him.

“It suits my character.” Bart said dramatically.

This time, Cassie contributed to the laughter that filled the room. 

So this is one of the more serious one-shots, but it has some humor going into end towards the end. This is inspired by the drabble that my friend, @youngjusticeslut, made about the teams reactions to everything right after the walk out in Princes All. You can find that drabble on the youngjustice.tv website. I hope you all enjoy this one-shot! :):):)

Unretirement

By Bruce Horovitz, Kaiser Health News, December 11, 2017

In his view, Tim Franson utterly failed at retirement.

After 20 years as a high-ranking vice president at drugmaker Eli Lilly, Franson and his wife, Chris, a successful real estate agent, thought they were quietly retiring nearly a decade ago to Bonita Springs, Fla.

For the first month or so, Franson said, he mostly slept. He wasn’t depressed, just mentally and physically exhausted.

Then, “I went crazy,” said Franson. “I’m not very good at sitting around.”

He quickly found himself back at work part time after a friend at a small pharmaceutical company asked him for strategic advice. “Things snowballed from there.”

Today, Franson, 66, consults and works about four days a week, while serving on two for-profit boards and two nonprofit boards.

Welcome to the land of the un-retired--folks who thought they were leaving the work world only to return because they sorely missed something about it, besides the money. These people in their 50s through 80s retired on pensions or savings--or both--but ultimately woke up to the fact there’s more to life than watching Florida sunsets.

This “un-retirement” trend continues to build, according to a 2017 Rand Corp. study showing that 39 percent of Americans 65 and older who are currently employed had previously retired. And more than half of those 50 and older who are not working and not searching for work said they would work if the “right opportunity came along,” the study found.

“We have a mistaken image of life, that you go to school, work for 40 years, then say goodbye to colleagues for the last time and embrace the leisure life,” said Chris Farrell, author of “Unretirement: How Baby Boomers Are Changing the Way We Think About Work, Community and the Good Life.” “That’s not turning out to be the arc of most people’s lives.”

This isn’t about older folks returning to work because they need the dough. This is about older folks returning to work because they miss the challenges, the accomplishments and, most important, the collegiality.

When retirees are asked what they miss most about pre-retirement life, the No. 1 answer is typically colleagues, said Farrell. “What’s constantly underestimated is that work is really a community. It turns out it’s much healthier and more satisfying to work for a bad boss than to sit on the couch and watch TV,” he said.

Franson gets that. Not that it didn’t make perfect sense for him to retire when he did, at age 58. Lilly offered him a year’s pay and a full pension to take early retirement. Franson had prostate cancer while at Lilly--and though the surgery was successful, he said, “that experience makes you sit back and revisit how you want to experience your remaining days.” At the time, his kids were out of college, and he didn’t have any grandkids yet.

Then, life derailed him when his wife, Chris, took ill and died within a few years. Four years ago, he accepted another consulting job in the Indianapolis area to be closer to his children and grandchildren. Franson has no plans to retire from his un-retirement anytime soon.

Laurie Caraway retired in 2013 as director of clinical data management at Bristol-Myers Squibb at age 56. She picked that age because her father had died at 56, before he had a chance to retire from private practice as a surgeon.

Her husband, Scott, a longtime American Airlines pilot, retired along with her. Scott adapted quickly and learned to be a potter. It was summer, and Laura spent the next three to four months biking, swimming and treating retirement like a vacation. Some days, she simply sat on her front porch swing.

Then, the weather changed. The cold autumn reminded Caraway that something had to change in her life. So, she started volunteering in Guilford, Conn., with a group that works to uplift academically gifted minority women from disadvantaged communities. That expanded into a part-time, paid position managing the group’s consignment shop.

Caraway was presented with an opportunity to go back--on a short-term contract--to Bristol-Myers Squibb. This encouraged her to send her résumé to Your Encore, a retiree return-to-work program co-created by Lilly, Procter & Gamble and Boeing that matches retirees with employers who need their skills. She landed more contracts to which she can always say “No, thanks” and still have time for yoga class.

“There is life after retirement,” she said. “It’s called work.”

Then, there’s Louise Klaber. She retired at age 65 from a 20-year career in organizational development--but is now working again at age 81.

In 2001, the former New Yorker thought she was living the dream when she arranged to retire to New York City with husband Ralph Walde, a college professor.

Sept. 13 was moving day into their apartment on New York’s Upper West Side. But as the horrific events of 9/11 unfurled, they found they were living in a state of shock. Within weeks, they were both signed up to do volunteer work helping prepare meals for the 9/11 site workers. Their shift: 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., chopping squash, carrots and onions. “It made us feel like we were actually doing something to help,” Klaber said.

The prep kitchen shut down shortly after Thanksgiving, and she found part-time paid work assisting people most severely affected by 9/11 find financial aid, mental health assistance or employment. She then contacted ReServe, a national nonprofit that places retired professionals with public service agencies of all sizes, budgets and missions. ReServe linked Klaber with the New York City Law Department, where she has worked part time ever since as an organization development counselor. What drives her isn’t the $10-an-hour pay but the professional camaraderie.

A former marathon runner, Klaber still runs almost daily. That, she said, is an important ingredient for staying healthy--but the work is just as important to her vitality.

When will she finally quit working?

“God only knows,” she said. “I’m having way too much fun.”

Hoss Wedding Day {Sayulita, Mexico}

So many emotions spill over my mind when thinking about this perfect day in Sayulita. It’s nearly been two years and it’s felt like the time has flew by.  So many details went into our wedding.  We got married on our actual “dating” anniversary of 7 YEARS and we’ve been lucky enough to have a friendship now for around 10 years.  

We used tanners vintage type writer to address all of our guests envelops, I even bought vintage stamps to add a flair to them.  I was lucky enough to create my own save the dates and invitations with images of us through out our years of dating.  I also created custom postcard packs for each of our guests as our thank yous with some of my all time favorite film images that I have taken in all of our favorite places that we’ve been together, Big Sur, New York, Downtown LA, Hosses Pond & Wyoming. We also custom type writed each of our guests name, our wedding date and our hossxxboink to label the postcard packs, they also had a unique poem on the back that tanner had written, BG BLANK style.

While in town we picked up some unique postcards and ended up both writing our vows on them for the ceremony.  I gifted tanner a new wallet the day of, since he took me for a staycation at the ace hotel in downtown LA and tickets to TV on the Radio as our wedding gifts to each other. 

My details of the day included a gifted bracelet from my godmother, Tracey (I love you so much, you have been there through out my entire life I can’t thank you and Mark enough for making the trip). I wore different rings from Vanessa Mooney, simple opal earrings (Tanner’s birthstone) from freepeople, sunglasses from Valley Eyewear, and a custom made hair crown with opal quarts and ruby beads (our birthstones) from Cassie. Thank you Cassie for making me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, my makeup and hair was everything I could have wanted.

I was lucky enough to add to my engagement ring made by Mother of Gideon, three simple bands, again one filled with opal, one with ruby, and one with diamonds.  Tanner was lucky enough to be handed down his Grandfather Virgil’s wedding band, a huge influence on him. We also had our rings engraved his with “VB49″ for Virgil + Betty married in 1949 and my ring was engraved “TK15″ Tanner + Katie 2015 - so that someday we can pass down our rings to our kids and they can engrave their names and wedding year too. My heart flutters thinking about this small simple detail.

I wore a dress from For Love and Lemons & I decided to be barefoot for the day.  I had some beautiful foot jewelry made by Forever Soles. We rented a beautiful huge home in Sayulita, Mexico “Casa Vela” for the week and held the wedding there. At the entrance when you walked in we had each guest leave a polaroid as our guestbook. I had a flower wall made for photo backdrop & margaritas ready to go for guests as they entered. We laid out simple pillows and mexican blankets for our guests to view and watch us get married.  I wanted it to be very simple low key and relaxed. I was running about 45 minutes late to my ceremony due to me running around and taking my own detail images of the reception - classic right?  We had a mariachi band play while our guests enjoyed margs and beers while they waited patiently for me to come down the stairs.

I wanted all the decor at our reception to be white and gold, I can not thank Somer enough from Vida Bonita Events for pulling this all off for us. We lugged an entire suitcase full of gold candle stick holders (that we spray painted ourselves), white long candle sticks & gold votives from BHLDN decor. She provided us with beautiful wood long tables and gold accent chairs.  Dinner with a view is what I wanted for my guests and that is what they got.

My mom walked Tanner down the aisle at this point everyone was so excited for it to start our guests were chanting, clapping and hollering at us.  A huge important aspect was that my Uncle Matt married us, seriously he is one of our bestfriends and we are so beyond lucky to be able to not only call him family but more importantly our life long friend. He has been there as well for me my entire life, birthdays, Christmases, graduations and now my marriage.

My dad walked me down the aisle and about 5 steps down I asked him to tell me a favorite memory of me.  At that point he got five words out “well, when you were born” and started balling crying. I love you dad. You have let me be me my entire life and you and mom have given me everything and more.  You are such amazing examples of what parents should be. My Uncle Matt gave more than a beautiful ceremony for us, we both wrote our own vows and exchanged rings.

I can’t thank one of my bestfriends Tim (LOL TIM DAVE @hydreams) enough for making the trek and taking my 1979 Cannon FTQL 35mm film camera to photograph the entire thing.  The photos are timeless and you could not have done a better job. We are so entirely grateful of you. We love you forever and ever for this.

In more details, Tanner wore a custom made shirt by another one of our friends, Bo (@bo_zart), pants by Chapter and his shoes were custom made by Broken Homme.

After the ceremony we took family & friend photos with everyone that came, this I am so grateful for. While guests enjoyed more cocktails, Tanner’s dad Tim drove us on his golf cart down to the beach for some sunset romantic photos.

I must say if you were there you know, but it was seriously the most beautiful sunset full of pinks, blues, purples & oranges the pictures seriously do no justice.  Tanner and myself just felt Virgil there, he definitely helped with all the colors in the air we just know it.  I also have to give a huge thank you to my bestfriend Sheena, who on a whim I threw another 35mm film camera in her hand and her and Tim just clicked the most beautiful photos of us. I can’t believe how lucky I am to have shared these moments with you both, you captured more than I ever could have hoped for.

We headed back to the casa to greet our guests seated for dinner.  My mom gave absolutely the most beautiful speech from her heart. Another thank you to Cassie & Dave for speaking as well and setting such an amazing tone for the rest of the night.  We cut the cake and ate it too, served tacos and rice and beans, duh.  We then made our way back down to dance the night away. And let me tell you it was LIT.

Our first dance was to one our our favorite bands, ALT-J “Tessellate”.  I danced with my dad to Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” a song I grew up hearing in his truck. Tanner danced with my mom to Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight”.  We then danced the night away with friends, and by 10pm tanner was chanting on the microphone “who wants to go to town with Tanny Rikta and Katie Boink!!!” as everyone screamed back woooooo. It was hilarious. We then made our way to after party in town, as our friends exited our ride (that mini van the Mudge’s rented came in cluch), we decided to hop back in the car and not go out with any of them, Dave then drove us up the street and we walked to a hamburger stand on the side of the road and enjoyed some alone time.

We were surrounded by so much love all week.  Its unexplainable. We took the sad plane home to LA and ended the week with a little styled shoot on our lofts rooftop overlooking downtown LA.

I can’t thank each an everyone of you enough for making the trip to Sayulita. Everything literally went perfectly and that was because we have the best family and friends that support us.  I love you guys. REUNION? JUST TELL ME WHEN!

“You know the one thing that absolutely terrifies you?  The one thing that makes your palms sweat and your heart pound? Yeah, go out and do that.  Because vulnerability and courage are necessary to reach the deepest depths of your secret heart.  So book the ticket.  Jump out of the plane.  Say I love you. Your soul will thank you, I promise.”

Reflections of a UWCCR alum:

1) be the monkey you always wanted to be. (Reference to recent events, emails) jump around all those roofs, and be the monkey – it’s one hell of an experience, I regret not doing it as many times as I wanted to.

2) jumping the fence isn’t a myth, it’s easier than you think. Open your eyes, look at the whereabouts of all the cameras and you open yourself to a world full of fence-jumping

3) as sketchy as you think Santa Ana is, explore other parts of it besides the field, staircase, haunted house and magu. There are a lot of better places than the field, just look around

4) taking an über to the windmills is cheaper than you think, wake up at 5 one morning and go up there with someone you really love spending time with. 

5) there is no limit to loving people; so go give that person the hug (with consent though), talk to that person you always wanted to talk to or go take that person to the hill 

6) time flies. This saying is far too underestimated. 

7) the hill isn’t the only place that has a nice sunset. There are a few places on campus. Walk around behind el coco and Tortuguero, and check out the fence on the field. Both are different yet have beautiful sunsets.

8) the social center and the greenhouse aren’t the only two places for dance parties, the classrooms are also a great option. You will never be able to compare the feeling of dancing to music at 5 in the morning in a classroom to a blurry social center party. 

9) The classroom keys are the possession of the STUCO, but we all know that they never really have the keys, so go find those keys and get them copied

10) China bonita is the place to go! Probably not the most Chinese place, but it’s cheap and tasty. Also check out Maria bonita (the Mexican restaurant next to it).

11) Santa Ana probably has one of the best donuts I’ve ever had. Only a few actually know where it is, but try to find it for yourself and eat those donuts.

12) there aren’t just 2 hills. Walk around, explore, and you will find some more.

13) you can’t ever learn enough from people on campus, so try talking to people and seeing what mystery lies within their box, you’ll be surprised by the hidden stories behind the surface

14) take the Calle Vieja bus and get off around Yakkys. Walk a little more and sit down to watch the Central Valley as the time passes – I did it once, and I won’t forget that afternoon. 

15) you don’t need to drink alcohol whenever you go out; try each of those tropical Te frio flavours, and that’s when you should go around screaming, “tonight is the night!”

16) tim tam slam. Don’t question yourself, just go, atleast once. You don’t have to speak always, even just being there as a listener can do the magic. PS: you may finish at 4am at times, so there’s no harm staying awake until breakfast and just chilling on the roof ;)  I heard the sunrise starts at 4:30?

17) UWCCR is probably the only space where you can have bonfires and get free hot chocolate and smores, make the most of that opportunity

18) lunch and snack aren’t too far apart from each other, so there’s no harm staying on the stone tables from lunch talking to people up until snack.

19) oh wait, dinner and snack aren’t quite far apart either, so there’s actually no harm sitting down an talking to someone from snack to dinner. Or even from lunch to dinner?

20) The best place on campus is Leila’s office between 10pm to 5am on Sundays and Mondays – Yure is a cool person, talk to her – at least once.

21) everyone has broken some sort of a rule or another, just be smart while breaking them – make lots of memories, just don’t make those memories with Alejandra – getting reported

22) night frisbee is a must – if you don’t enjoy drinking or the haunted house, try going to night frisbee – i made many memories with beautiful people and just a frisbee 

23) the green board next to the caf is very powerful! There were days when I was stressed or annoyed and the messages on the green board changed how I felt. If there is ever a quote or a message you have in mind, write it on the green board – surprisingly, it might actually lighten someone’s day!

24) one great alum once said, “there is no limit to caring!” – i have kept those words close, and remember – stick close to the people you love and express your love in whatever way you can.  ~~~ UWC Costa Rica Alumni
