“You’re fucking ridiculous.” You scoffed as you dropped your phone on the table. “I’m always fuckin’ ridiculous. It’s always me.”

“Because it is you!” You shouted at Fez, walking behind him as he walked into the kitchen of the apartment you, his brother and he shared. “You’re doing a fucking deal at a damn high school party!” You pinched your nose, leaning against the door frame. “Fezco, we'll go to big people's jail!”

“I can fuckin’ handle myself! I don’t need your loud ass shoutin’ at me for shit for no damn reason.” Fez returned your previous scoff, opening the fridge to grab a Budweiser. “No damn reason? No damn reason?” You asked him, voice raising the second time you asked. Fezco took a deep breath and closed the fridge, taking a swig of the beer as he leaned against the fridge.

“I’m tryna keep your ass out of jail! And you’re too damn stupid to get your head out of your ass.” You pointed at him. “Don’t call me stupid.” He said shortly, a warning. Maybe stupid wasn’t the right word, you knew Fezco was aware of his risks and what he was doing. But you also were aware of the fact that if he goes to jail, everything is fucked.

“Don’t fucking act stupid.” You shot back, arms falling to your sides.

His jaw tightened as he nodded. His head leaned back as he continued to down his drink in four sips. He placed his now empty glass on the counter as he walked over to you.

His hand grabbed your jaw. Index, middle and ring on your cheek, palm covering your mouth as his pinky rested under your chin and your thumb on your other cheek. His grip was firm, but didn’t necessarily hurt.

“Watch your mouth babygirl.“ He said, beer on his breath. “I ain’t got any problems usin’ your mouth for what it’s best.” Your eyebrows raised as your eyes widened.

Your breath was caught in your throat. He wasn’t covering your nose, you could breathe just fine. But this sudden dominance from Fez was unexpected.

He has been dominant in bed before, but as the longer you two date, the more vanilla he’d become. Sex was good, but ever since you two began living together rather than ‘getting it when you can’, the sexual fire seemed to just dull.

You pulled your head back from his grip, which wasn’t hard at all. “Make me.”

Fez closed his eyes and leaned his head back, a short laugh escaped his lips. “Such a damn brat.” He shook his head, looking down at you.

His fingers moved to the back of your head, fingers gripping your hair as you lowered to your knees by his force.

You looked up at him as he used his free hand to undo his jeans, slipping them down to the middle of his thighs, he freed his member from his black jeans. You looked at it as he gripped it in his hand, a little over seven and a half inches with a girth that still had the ability to hurt if you two go without for a while. Precum leaked from the head of Fez’s dick.

“Open that pretty little mouth babygirl.” He ordered, his fingers moving from your hair to your chin. Your mouth opened as you stuck your tongue out.

“That’s a good girl.” He whispered, tapping his cock on your tongue. “Such a good girl.” He moved his hand once more, to the top of the back of your head.

Your hand grabbed the base of his cock as your lips wrapped around his head. Your eyes closed as you bobbed your head, moving your hand to cover what your mouth can’t.

“Just like that, pretty girl.” His praises slipped from his lips as you continued to bob your head, his fingers gripping your hair, using his hand to make a makeshift hair tie. “Fuck.” He sighed.

You focused the attention on the tip of his cock, tightening your hand grip a little and pumping your hand a little more.

You sucked, your eyes looking up at him managing to catch his head back. He swallowed hard as he pulled your hair, your lips making a popping noise you let go of his cock.

“Wha-“

“Don’t fuckin’ speak.” He said, letting go of your hair as he pulled you up by your arm pits. He moved you to the counter of the kitchen.

His hands grabbed your shoulders as he turned you around, bending you over as your tummy rested on the counter.

You moved your arms to prop your self up on the counter, crossing over each other as he left go of your shoulders. You looked over your shoulders.

His hands traced your sides as he made his way down the the hem of your skirt, a tight black skirt that normally drives him crazy, and tonight wasn’t an exception.

His fingers hooked under it as he pulled it up. “You’re so damn soaked.” He noted, you knew he was talking ab the fact that your wetness seeped through your pink thong and it definitely made a print.

His index finger hooked the thong at your pussy and pulled it to the side.

“Your pussy is just crying for this dick, ain’t it baby?” He asked you, his hand gripped his cock as he rubbed it through your folds, coating the tip with your dripping juices.

“You can speak.”

“Yes.”

“Yes what?” He asked, pushing the head into you slightly.

“Yes sir.”

“Such a good girl.” He whispered to you, lips on your ear as his hands grip your waist as his cock sinks deeper into your right cunt.

Your breath catches in your throat as you dropped your head to rest on your arms. “Shit…” you muttered, feeling yourself clench down on his cock. “You’re gonna break it, ma. Relax.” He says into your ear, his hips pressed against yours as he fills you. “You’re taking your dick so good.” He kissed your neck.

You breathed out the moan you were holding. He pulled away from your neck as he stood right, his hips pulling away from yours slowly as he pulled nearly all the way out.

He pushed back into you, then pulled away slowly once more. His hand moved to the middle of your back as he pushed down a little, forcing a little bit of an arch as his pace began to quicken, moans coming from the both of you.

“Fuck baby…” you whimpered out, picking your head up from your arms, eyes clenched closed as he began to fuck you mercilessly.

You gripped your arms as you felt him torture your g-spot. Your body jerking a little every time he pushes it.

“Right there?” He asked you. You nodded, moans becoming the only thing you can do.

“Ma, I’m not gon’ last to much longer…” He said, hips snapping against yours, the sound of your squelching pussy, his balls smacking your clit, and the moans from the both of you being the only noises to be heard.

“Fuck baby… I’m about to cum…” you moaned out. “Cum all over your cock, ma.” He ordered, and as if a band snapped, you came hard on his cock.

A loud, strangled moan-type sob escaped you as his hips slapped against yours. “That’s right, such a good girl.” He groaned, his cum painting your insides. “Fuck..” he whispered to himself as he rode out the two of your own highs.

Your breathing shook as you laid your head back down and his head rested between your shoulder blades.

He pulled out of you and fixed your thong. “Ready to shower?” He asked, picking you up over his shoulder.

You laughed a little and went limp in his arms. “Yes. Definitely.”

am i the asshole for leading a guy on an low-key manipulating his feelings? (🐺 so i can find it later)

trigger warnings for mental health issues, family death, and suicide mentions.

title is kiiinda dramatic, i know. and i should be clear that i know that what i did was definitely wrong to a degree, but idk how messed up it was.

for context: i (19 f) was freshly seventeen and had just returned to in person school for my senior year after doing my junior year online at home. the majority of my best and only friend had forgotten me almost entirely and abandoned me despite our texting throughout my online year. new social circles had formed in my absence and i had a very difficult time readjusting, especially because i had come out of isolation with worsened anxiety, depression, and lowkey suicidal idealization. to top it all off, my grandfather who i adored had just died. i was desperately lonely and at the lowest i had ever been mentally in my entire life. i say this all not to excuse my actions but to provide some context as to why i acted the way i did.

so i meet this guy (i think like 15-16?) who we'll call finn. finn is a year below me but we share an elective class. we were initially drawn to each other bc we were both the only alt/geeky kids in the room and hit it off really well. and at first things are going pretty good; we eat lunch together every day, share music, talk about our interests etc. normal friend stuff.

but here's the part where i'm probably ta: finn had told me earlier on that he's the type to catch feelings super easy, so i guess i should've expected it, but he tells me that he has a crush on me. not directly though--he starts talking about this girl that he has feelings for but doesn't have the courage to confess to. and the first time he brought it up i didn't realize it was me and ofc tried to hype him up so he could confess and all that. but by the second conversation we have about it, it dawns on me that he's definitely talking about me. and i'm like "ah fuck," because the last person i wanted it to be was me--i'm mostly into girls, and also saw finn as a little brother more than anything else. but i keep hyping him up anyways saying stuff like "oh c'mon the worst she can do is say no! and even then you can at least move on with closure!"

so he takes my advice and confesses to me over text. i turn him down as politely as i can. which is where this whole thing should've ended tbh. but it didn't. his confession (even though it was over text) really endeared me and made me feel appreciated and beautiful in a way i never had been before. i'm not conventionally attractive + a plus size girl, and had never had anyone confess to me before, let alone say something as sincere and sweet as finn did to me. i was always the girl guys dared each other to ask out as a joke, yknow? it felt nice to know that someone saw me as desirable. again, this doesn't excuse my actions or justify them. just context.

so i decide that even though i know i'm not going to pursue anything with finn, i don't want him to lose interest in me either. so i start acting like i might be into him. tell him certain outfits make him look cute, go on and on about how much i love his hair (he really did have nice hair tbh), lean in a little closer when we talked, and constantly reassure him that he'd get a gf soon because good-looking, sweet and funny guys like him don't stay single for long.

he definitely notices bc he (again over text) asks if it's ok to be more physical when we interact. like can he hold my hand if we walk down the hall or whatever. this is definitely where i should've stopped, but i didn't. i kept up the pseudo-flirting bullshit.

and then he confesses (you guessed it! over text) for a second time, insisting that he really thinks that i like him back now. i tell him i don't know what he's talking about but that i'm happy to keep being friends with him. again, i don't stop the flirting-that's-not-quite-flirting.

this continues all the way until the end of the year. he tells me before i graduate that he really cares for me and doesn't want to lose touch after i leave. i promise him we won't. at this point i'd realized the gravity of my actions and had come to regret the way i treated finn, and decided the best course of action was to let our friendship fizzle out after i graduate. so i stop responding as frequently to him, he eventually stops reaching out until finally we lost contact and i delete his number.

i know that what happened was kinda fucked up, but how bad of a fuck up was this tumblr?

(secondary question: is this something that would've had a lasting impact on him and his view of relationships? i hope it isn't. i hope he forgot about me quickly. i hope he's doing better and has found someone who actually likes him.)

What are these acronyms?

The Indie Underground AU

So y'all are familiar with underground music scenes? In this au, the idea is taken more literally. Originally founded by the Almighty Trollmir and some of the ancient critters, the Indie Underground is a haven for the misfits and outcasts of the tribes, as well as smaller genres and sub-genres in the troll kingdoms. Now, did I mention that the Underground is sustained with the help of Trollmir's magic? More info under the cut regarding those two new troll ocs and why Poppy and Branch look like that!

(I'm gonna say right now though, that this au is probably gonna be my most complex/dense one yet, probably even beyond the upcoming harmonic heroes au; this story is taking some old ideas of mine from past aus I made outside of this fandom)

So, there are various kinds of citizens in the Indie Underground:

-monochrome trolls: trolls that were born gray, but otherwise is like any other colorful troll; the techno troll pictured above is a Monochrome Troll by the name of Monna!

-robot trolls: with the assistance of magic, trolls have been able to engineer robots not only with self-awareness, but some of these robots also harbor the souls of trolls that perished 'too soon'. The robot funk troll is named Shelly!

-acapella trolls: normally mute trolls that wear face masks pretty much all the time. They are the experts at making sounds with their voices and bodies. They love to provide backup instrumentals to other's songs, but maybe you'll be lucky to get one to sing...?

-alt. rock and grunge trolls

-trolls with physical abnormalities for their tribes (feral trolls fall under this category)

-the general outcasts

-trolls that went gray (note: the leaders of the underground have been trying to invite branch for years but for some reason something always happens to the invite...)

-trolls that prefer a different lifestyle than what's acceptable to their tribe

Monna and Shelly were originally designed to be Broppy adopted children but then I realized that there's something much more fitting for those two that I have in mind!

As for the hand signs Monna, Poppy and Branch are making: it's a common symbol for the trolls of the underground to use. Basically, their motto is: "When you call, we'll always be there." They're the definition of a community coming together like a big family.

Now why does Branch look like a monster?

Now there's quite a bit of plot-related reasons, but basically:

-the place Trollmir resides is basically the 'Heart' of the magic in the troll kingdoms, north of the classical mountains

-over the years, she would select specific trolls to take on the role of Light Keeper, trolls that hold the power to protect their world and to guide their people in times of crisis; it's also a way to help protect the sacred Heart

-Poppy, Branch, and a few others were identified to have been given the title, alongside the magic associated with it

-Poppy was also given the role of the Mediator: she's an expert healer and magic user and has the ability to see Biosouls (I'll explain them another time), she’s also able to ‘control’ Branch in his Attacker State (a major reason as to why she's primarily wearing blue), and make sure he doesn't get too animalistic or feral.

-Branch, instead of the Mediator, was instead also given the role of the Attacker: he has the ability to not only see Biosouls but can transform into a powerful beast. While in this 'attacker state', he can't really physically speak, but thanks to a bit of telepathic magic, Poppy can hear his voice in her head, so to speak. He can somewhat control himself as a monster, but is more prone to go berserk. Other than that, his job is to be able to protect his gf.

Do you dislike operating your lighting business with antiquated, manual procedures? Do you want to improve the shopping experience for your customers, optimize your business processes, and boost sales? Shopify POS is the only option! We'll outline six persuasive arguments in this video for why Shopify POS will revolutionize your lighting store. You'll discover why this all-in-one solution is a game-changer for your company, from simple inventory management to potent analytics. Let's get going! [fusion_button link="https://www.clkmg.com/UltimatePeter/BRBlog" text_transform="" title="" target="_self" link_attributes="" alignment_medium="" alignment_small="" alignment="" modal="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" sticky_display="normal,sticky" class="" id="" color="blue" button_gradient_top_color="" button_gradient_bottom_color="" button_gradient_top_color_hover="" button_gradient_bottom_color_hover="" accent_color="" accent_hover_color="" type="flat" bevel_color="" border_width="" border_radius="10" border_color="" border_hover_color="" size="large" stretch="default" margin_top="" margin_right="" margin_bottom="" margin_left="" icon="fa-store-alt fas" icon_position="left" icon_divider="no" animation_type="" animation_direction="left" animation_speed="0.3" animation_offset=""]Get Started With Shopify POS[/fusion_button] Easy Inventory Management. The simple inventory management that Shopify POS offers is one of the main benefits for a lighting store. Inventory control is an essential component of running any retail company, but because lighting businesses carry such a wide variety of products, it may be particularly difficult. Inventory level tracking is easy and hassle-free with Shopify POS. You can quickly identify which products are available, which are getting short, and which require reordering. By doing this, you can guarantee that you always have the goods your consumers need and stop losing money on out-of-stock merchandise. In addition, Shopify POS offers reorder alerts so you can remain on top of inventory management without continually checking stock levels manually. This is crucial for lighting retailers because their products can be complex and have unique dimensions or requirements. To make sure you always have the appropriate product for the right consumer, you can quickly build product variants with Shopify POS that let you keep track of various sizes, colors, and other qualities. The simplicity of Shopify POS's inventory management saves time and resources, allowing owners of lighting stores to concentrate on other facets of their businesses like customer care and marketing. Customizable Product Variants. Another factor that makes Shopify POS a perfect choice for lighting companies is its customizable product versions. Customers want to be able to choose the particular solutions that best suit their needs out of the many sizes, colors, and types of lighting fixtures that are available. You can quickly build customisable product variants with Shopify POS so that your consumers may choose the precise item they desire. If you sell pendant lights, for instance, you might offer several wire lengths, bulb kinds, and finishes. These product variants are simple to make with Shopify POS, letting buyers choose the alternatives they want with just a few clicks. Together with enhancing the client experience, this lowers the possibility of product selection errors leading to returns or exchanges. Moreover, Shopify POS enables you to quickly manage and change your product versions. This is especially helpful for lighting retailers who often update their product offerings or introduce new products. Lighting retailers can provide a more specialized shopping experience that caters to the unique demands of their clients by offering customisable product versions. Mobile Checkout. Lighting retailers can benefit greatly from mobile checkout, especially if they attend trade exhibitions or other events where they must make sales on-the-go.

You can carry your store with you everywhere you go and conduct transactions using a mobile device thanks to Shopify POS. This not only enables you to sell goods outside of your own business, but it also gives your consumers a more convenient checkout process. Also, mobile checkout aids business owners of lighting retailers in decreasing wait times, enhancing client delight, and boosting sales. With their mobile devices, customers may check out swiftly and easily, skipping lengthy lines or busy checkout places. Also, you may accept several payment options with mobile checkout, such as credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, making it simpler for clients to pay as they like. Customers can also receive receipts via email thanks to Shopify POS, further enhancing their experience. Additionally, all transactions handled by Shopify POS are protected and safe, giving customers and business owners peace of mind. With the help of mobile checkout, lighting retailers can conduct business anywhere and give customers a seamless purchasing experience. Seamless Online and Offline Integration. Lighting stores that have both a physical location and an online presence must seamlessly integrate their offline and online operations. You can effortlessly manage your online and offline sales with Shopify POS from a single platform, giving your customers a consistent purchasing experience across all channels. For instance, Shopify POS enables you to process a return and reimburse the customer's payment directly from the POS system if they buy a product online but decide to return it in-store. In order to process a return, a customer no longer needs to make repeated journeys or call customer service. Moreover, Shopify POS enables lighting retailers to control their product listings and inventories across online and offline channels. This lessens the possibility of overselling or running out of stock because adjustments made to your product listings or inventory levels in one area will be mirrored in all other locations. Lighting retailers can give their customers a more convenient shopping experience, boost sales, and streamline operations with seamless online and offline integration. Also, this connectivity makes it simple for owners of lighting stores to run their operations from anywhere, whether they're at the store or on the go. Customer Management. For lighting stores to make wise business decisions and streamline their operations, reporting and analytics are crucial. Shopify POS offers thorough reporting and analytics capabilities that let you monitor key performance indicators and learn more about your company's operations. You can quickly identify, for instance, your best-performing sales channels, top products, and busiest hours of the day. You can use this data to decide how to manage your inventory, set prices, and conduct marketing. You can also design unique reports and dashboards with Shopify POS, giving you even more control over your data. Also, you may configure alerts and notifications for significant occurrences like low inventory levels or high sales volume. As a result, you can manage your company effectively and react rapidly to shifting market conditions. Lighting stores should pay particular attention to reporting and analytics since they can help you spot patterns in consumer demand, enhance your pricing tactics, and raise customer happiness. Lighting store owners now have access to the information and insights they require to expand their business and make wise business decisions thanks to Shopify POS. Powerful Analytics. Last but not least, lighting stores may rely on Shopify POS's top-notch customer assistance. If you have a query regarding your POS system or require help with a transaction, you can get assistance whenever you need it with 24/7 support. Together with these support tools, Shopify also provides a community forum, tutorials, and online documentation. These materials can direct you toward best practices for managing your lighting store and help you make the most of your POS system.

Shopify also provides a variety of other services and applications that might aid in the expansion of your business. You might, for instance, send newsletters and promotions to your consumers using Shopify's email marketing tools, or you could use its built-in shipping services to organize your shipping processes. Lighting retailers can concentrate on what they do best - offering amazing lighting items and customer care - while leaving the technical details to the professionals thanks to Shopify's excellent customer support and additional services.

I thought I'd share my playlist for the anniversary of the boathouse kiss. :)

Song translations, MANY thoughts, and timeline under the break.

Noise warning for song 19, Hinahanap-Hanap Kita. 4:23 to the end. Loud high pitched beeps.

YouTube music version to be made soon.

Translations for foreign songs:

Ewan [Dunno] — Apo Hiking Society — Filipino/Tagalog

Amour plastique [Plastic love] — Videoclub — French

Panalangin [Prayer] — Apo Hiking Society/Moonstar88 — Filipino/Tagalog

Hinahanap-Hanap Kita [I'm Looking For You] — Rivermaya — Filipino/Tagalog

This is a collaborative playlist made with my friend.

Thought Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy would be a good starter song. Something about the music. Represents a good start of Alec persuing Maurice, like, hey, I can be yours... Whatcha doin'?

I added Puppy Princess because of the chorus but I know some people don't like that song so... You can skip if you'd like. KISS MEEEEE KIISS ME WITH YIIR EYESSS CLOSED . ALL I WANT IS YOU YEAH YOU. TELL ME I'M NOT FUNNY TELL ME I'M LEGIIIIT

Ewan. OH MY GOD this song is so them. Alec cares for Maurice, and doesn't like not being taken seriously or being treated badly and brushed off.

"I don't know why you're like that, you're difficult to talk to and you're a snob" COME ON IS THAT NOT THEM — Just a smile from you, and I'll be in heaven. Please give me a response, anything but "No idea"... What a perfect representation of Alec's continuous persuit of Maurice, always talking, always trying...

I could go on with every lyric.

Edit: I just realised this song fits so well for Alec's letters and meeting at the museum. Must resist the urge to add the same exact track twice.

So about Touch Me... Some of the lyrics apply better in other versions. Spotify just has this version tho. Touch me, just like that.

All I've Ever Known. Maurice discovered so much that night about touch and sharing and being with someone. He wants to be with Alec. "All I've ever known is how to hold my own, but now I want to hold you too. [Hold you close, I don't wanna ever have to let you go. Hold you tight, I don't wanna to back to the lonely life.]" Alec opened up his eyes and he'll never be the same.

Can't Help Falling in Love With You. 'Did you ever dream you'd a friend, Alec? ... Someone to last your whole life...' 'Alec, you're a dear fellow and we've been very happy.'

I'd Like To Walk Around In Your Mind was added from Maurice's perspective. Perhaps it fits Alec too...

I think Love At First Sight has the double meaning of the literal title, as well as "wouldn't you like to kiss her" perhaps being... Something Maurice would hear.

I Don't Dance. Based on this post/edit. Please watch this video oh my God.

Pink in the Night. Alec yearns for Maurice in the boathouse. He hasn't come. He hears his heart breaking tonight.

Every lyric is perhaps pulled straight from Alec's brain, to be honest. I remember seeing a post with this song in other contexts with them too. So yes, a few meanings.

Amour plastique. Alec reminiscences on the night in the Russet room. Why hasn't he come?

In my mind, everything goes wild. I lose myself in your eyes. I drown myself in the vagueness of your loving gaze.

And at night I cry tears that stream down my cheeks. I think of you only when the days ends, only when my sad demons descend upon my mind, into the bottomless abyss.

Waiting in the boathouse at night, when the day ends.

I ring out in kisses all down your chest. Lost in the avalanche of my heart astray. Who are you? Where are you?

The moments of then repeat in his mind. Where is Maurice?

I suppose Hopelessly Devoted To You and I'm A Fool To Want You are self explanatory. Maurice should really come... Alec really toughed it out, 2 days he spent in the boathouse, really wanted to see Maurice, really knew they had something, and doesn't want to be treated like a dog. Generally, his 1st letter.

Moon Song. My friend said they added it as a general love song. — Why do you treat me like this? Why didn't you come to the boathouse? — Alec's 2nd letter as a whole. Plus bits of 1st.

And you pushed me in, and now my feet can't touch the bottom of you. ... So I will wait for the next time you want me, like a dog with a bird at your door.

Ewan would fit here tbh.

Panalangin. My only prayer in this lifetime: to be beside you, to be together with you, that's my prayer.

"I since cricket match do long to ... place both arms round you and share with you, the above now seems sweeter than words can say."

And this heart won't allow if you will be away from me, my love, please listen.

It also fits the end of museum.

I Want You. Maurice, can you come to the boathouse already? Alec has no power to teleport you there. I hold one card that I can't use.

I found you. I found the door, but when I stepped through, there was no floor. He found Maurice, bit he's not being here for Alec.

You're coming back And it's the end of the world We're starting over And I love you, darling And I am done, dear

Alec wishes this would happen. Also, he does come back later and they love again over, and "it is finished".

Credit for suggesting the next two songs goes to @beatle-capaldi!!! He also wrote was in quotations!

English Summer Rain

The Most Radical Thing To Do

Hinahanap-Hanap Kita. 1st letter, he's looking for Maurice. Thinking about them together.

In my thoughts and dreams, in every turn of destiny, I look for you. Also applies to that hotel/post-hotel feeling. I look for you, even if I try to forget you, saying goodbye, looking back...

Wildest Dreams. They think a lot of each other. They share once more. But they must say goodbye. Alec saw this coming. Maurice hopes that Alec will remember him like this.

I Hear a Symphony. Alec truly opened up Maurice's eyes. Maurice was meant to be with him. He helped Maurice, changed his life. But now Alec is leaving on ship... Or is he? The symphony leads into...

An orchestral sountrack. The Boathouse. Unfortunately the Maurice soundtrack is not on spotify. It's on my personal YouTube music version. I added it because it just captures the boathouse the only way the sountrack itself can.

The Word of Your Body (Reprise). MLM people have moment of romantic tension, which culminates in confessions of love. Just had to add it. "Haven't you heard the word of your body?" perfectly describes Alec gifting and showing Maurice the wonder of truest physical affection and love. He lets Maurice be okay with himself, and again, changes everything. Every lyric is perfect.

Also, sorry JBW, I like other versions more... Too bad Spotify is mean.

I See The Light. Yeah. Every lyric. Maurice is Rapunzel. Movie Blond too. Both the morning at Russet room and the museum. And the world has somehow shifted. All at once everything is different, now that I see you. "By now they were in love with each other consciously."...

Suddenly Seymour. Suddenly see more, yeah? Clive = ass and someone gives him affection for once, wow! Sidenote, I want to sing this with them and their accents... Suddenly SCUDDER...

Helpless. Musical theatre songs seem to be good retellings of their love story. It's why they belong in post boathouse. Summaries and retellings. They're also good at conveying love they'd feel for each other in general, all times ever. Like loving men, retelling a story.

I'll Cover You. Cute love song feat. gays. I like to imagine them dancing around, declaring their love and devotion for each other. Walking and dancing around like in the original scene, sometime post canon. In my own imagination, I thought of Alec as Angel and Maurice (Christopher) as Collins.

Video Games. They must love spending time together. I thought this to be Maurice POV. Only worth living if somebody is loving you I mean, come on.

It's you, it's you, it's all for you. Everything I do. I tell you all the time, heaven is a place on Earth with you.

Un sospiro. I headcanon that Maurice picks up the piano and plays for Alec. Perhaps he picked it up bc of/after Clive, but now can play it for someone who gives a shit.

Something about the melody reminds me of them. And then it gets more intense... A bit like the passions of love, showing up in sharing and touch and more, too.

Liebestraum. I mean, it means love dream/dream of love. I just had to. Also I just like Liszt.

Take Me Up With You, Dearie. This song is just so sweet... So soft... Edwardian to boot... I love how quintessentially 1909 it is. Discovered it in a YT video. The thought of them getting married makes me cry. This song in general makes me want to cry, it's so romantic, tender, and exudes my favourite era...

Let us float, float, float through the clouds, and just have a lot of fun. We'll go up, up, up as two and then come down as one.

Put Your Head on My Shoulder. We Belong Together. I always imagine Maurice and Alec slowdancing to songs that come on the radio together, when the 1950s hits... Alec probably rests his head on his shoulder as this plays and they dance...

I'm using a lot of ellipses, am I secretly Rupert Graves?

Welcome to the 70s and 80s. They love dancing together and being with each other. Now, Panalangin can be a happy song. My only prayer for this lifetime ... To be together with you. And this heart won't allow if you will be away from me.

Just the Two of Us. What a nice, vibey song. Great title, great scenario of them dancing to this...

Tiny Dancer. Your Song. MLM people in the 70s + Radio, being happy and in love with each other. — I just thought I should add some Elton. A different friend, and I, like him. Maurice sings to Alec, "And you can tell everybody this is your song." That I put down in words how wonderful life is with you in the world.

Electric Love. Fun fact: this song got me to share the playlist. Got me thinking about them and their anniversary again. The funky busy instrumental describes well their passionate love. The highs of electric LOOOOOOVE describe the intensity of them.

Alt text continued: themselves together under and the love. And the love. The song has its own tension and it perfectly pictures their own tension. So yeah, this is THEIR song quite literally.

Sorry if my music taste is perhaps basic. I just made it for when I hear songs that are Them.

Falling for Ya. Alec falls for Maurice. "I saw you when you first drove up, Mr Hall..." Something about Maurice, right? Plus really nice vintage vibes with the music. The bit about Into your arms and it's a secure sure sounds like Maurice. Awh, they're falling for *each other*...

Rainbow Connections. Gay and bi people. Marriage. Everything that Maurice and Alec went through to get here, where they were meant to be. Clive. Working for Clive. Leading up to now.

All the things that had to go right, all the things that had to go wrong, that lead us to the place where we were going all along.

On the YT version there's a soft/jazzy cover of Panalangin here. Because they're old and spending time together and being happy. What a throwback, a defined meaning in their lives over time.

Still Into You. After all these decades... Old and grown, together... True soulmates... Two men can defy the world... Maurice and Alec still roam the greenwood. Imagine Maurice meeting Alec's mom in this context. If only.

Postmodern Jukebox cover, because they are a quintessentially 20th century couple. They exude vintage.

Some piano playing for Alec. Soft, tender, romantic, emotional, true. Feels like nighttime. Feels like Maurice and Alec. And a throwback to the pre 1914 world as well. Claire de Lune feels like... A credits of life piece. Time spent in the early 1980s. Nocturne feels like that too, but more romantic. Smidge less nighttime. Ah yes, Gymnopédies. The truest credits feel of them all. None of these actually are credits for Maurice and Alec, but I struggle to find the word for this feeling. But yeah. These all have Them vibes to me. Piano of the time just does I suppose. Glad to be reminded of them at any time.

What a long playlist. Like going through almost their whole lives together. 1:52 hrs. Almost like a movie. Imagine that. A full movie of THEIR lives... But leaving to the imagination was a good thing. Led to this such action. Thank you E.M. Forster.

OMG, don't tell me LT as Rapunzel is actually happening now?! They had me convinced they wouldn't go there! Also, in light of all the magical ladies popping up all over HH and the 'Eight Witches' title we'll have a whole coven soon. So far, I'm only missing one: There's Regina, Zelena (although, shouldn't she be powerless?), Drizzy, The Witch, apparently Anastasia, and possibly Alice and Robin. Can you think of someone? Lucy, maybe? And you know you've given up on the timeline when you cont

cont don’t even question how Alice was friendswith Jacinda’s mom. That’s how I deal with the Wish realm and all it’simplications too, btw, I’m at a point where I’m just like, ‘yeah, whatever yousay, sure’. But I do think WishEQ mentioned that the tower was in a far awayrealm, so it was probably the Alt!EF, yeah. I for one want to know whatRumple’s deal is? Coz I have a hard time buying him caring for any version ofKillian. What’s he up to? And Henry finally has a BFF, what?!!

Hey, Spec Anon! Listen, you were the one to getme on board with the whole LT as Rapunzel theory in the first place, you shouldbe patting yourself on the back for calling it so early.

Who Are the Eight Witches?

It’s like trying to name the seven dwarfs inone go without forgetting at least one – i.e., nigh on impossible, but startingwith those who we know have magic:

Regina

Zelena

Drizzy

The Witch/Eloise

Tiger Lily

Then those who we suspect may have magic basedon clues and bloodlines:

Anastasia

Robin

Alice

And then one more, based purely on speculation:

Rapunzel

Obviously I’ve gone a little overboard becauseI’ve come up with one too many. But I’m starting to like the idea that ifRapunzel is a younger LT, that when she was younger she did have magic butsomething happened (whatever tragic event is hinted at in the promo for 7x09)that either made her reject her magic for a different kind of power, or causedher to lose her magic. If both Drizzy and Anastasia have magic, it would makesense that they inherited it from their mother; it solidifies theCora/Zelena/Regina parallel even more, while at the same time twisting thecomparison by having the mother supposedly rejecting magic for power. (I saysupposedly because we’ve seen LT use that fairy wand one too many times toreally believe she truly rejects magic.)

For now, I’m going with Rapunzel being the 8thwitch, not Alice, or any of the other newbies like Cinderella, Tiana, or Lucy.

Meeting Cinderella’s Mom

It wouldn’t have been impossible for Alice toknow Cinderella’s mother in Wonderland. Based on Alice commenting about howyoung Hook appeared, it seems reasonable to believe that they were togetherlong enough for Alice to see her father aging, getting grey, maybe even slowingdown a bit. (Let’s hope he eventually built a ladder or stairway to the towerwindow and didn’t have to climb a rope every time he went out for food orsomething.) I can even go so far as to believe that his heart wasn’t poisoneduntil Alice was old enough to understand that ramifications of what wouldhappen if they touched so that they were still able to see each other withoutan accident happening. I suspect that Alice figured out a way to escape andtook advantage of his leaving one day for supplies or something to make a breakwithout him knowing what she was doing. So if Alice was a teenager when shemade her way to Wonderland, and she and Cinderella are supposed to be aroundthe same age (?), then I could buy Alice and Cinderella’s mother meeting andknowing each other.

The fact that we don’t quite know whetherAlice, Henry, Cinderella, and Tiana are all supposed to be around the same ageor not makes trying to figure out the timeline difficult. I was assuming thatAlice was much younger than the rest based on appearances alone, but that doesn’tmake sense given when she was born, because if she was born around the sametime as Emma, then Alice should be about 17-18 years older than Henry. Whoknows, maybe time moves differently in Alice’s Wonderland than it does in thealt!EF?

WTH is The Witch’s Tower?

Man, I don’t know, because if the witch’s towerwhere Alice was born was located in the alt!EF then that raises a wholedifferent set of questions. Namely, did Hook have an inexhaustible supply ofbeans? Because let’s think about it, he and Smee would have needed one bean toget to the alt!EF, then Smee would have needed one to get back to the wishrealm on his own, then Hook would have needed one to get back to the wish realmto give Smee the Jolly Roger, then Hook would have needed another bean to getback to the alt!EF, and then Hook would have needed another one to eventuallyget back to the wish realm many years later.

Honestly, if Hook had a bottomless pocket ofbeans, why didn’t the EQ trade the information she had for a bean? She couldhave used that to escape to a place where no one would have known where to findher, instead of bartering for passage on Hook’s ship and risk him trading thatinfo with Snowing in exchange for access to wish Rumpelstiltskin who they hadimprisoned in their dungeon.

Does Rumple Have a Selfless Motivation?

It thought it was interesting that Reginaraised the issue of the Guardian during her little showdown with Rumple in thebar. Seemed that was placed to remind us that Rumple does still have his owngoal outside of whatever havoc Drizzy and LT are attempting to unleash on the restof HH. I don’t expect Rumple to go out of his way to help Hook, or Henry, butRumple being Rumple will always help whomever will get him closer to hisendgame. So if breaking the curse gets Rumple closer to the Guardian, and ifstopping the witch furthers that goal, then Rumple will do something to throw awrench in her plans, without a consideration as to whether the side-effect ofhis wrench throwing has a positive or negative impact on anyone else in HH.

Henry Doesn’t Know Jack

Sorry, couldn’t resist that. Is it bad of methat I really wanted Jack/Nick to be Lucy’s father and was kinda disappointedthat he turned out to be a buddy of Henry’s instead? The timeline would haveworked so much better for me if Lucy was already around at the point of Henryand Cinderella meeting. Guess I’m still having an issue with them spendingabout 10 years in the alt!EF fighting LT and the “king” before the curse beingcast.

It is nice to know that Henry did make friendsduring his travels though. It certainly opens up the door for them to dropother fairytale characters into the flashbacks at random from now on.
