Can y'all just be you know normal Marina Thompson for like 5 seconds? Because christ, the sheer Misogynoir that some of you spread about her character is insane and you don't even realise it.

Thanks for the tag @sage-nebula !! Been a minute since Iâve done one of these âš
Last song: âNot Sorry For Loving Youâ from EPIC: The Vengeance Saga. Probably my favorite from the most recent saga â loooove Calypsoâs voice
Fave color: greeeeeen! Iâve probably tried to pin it down more specifically in the past, but the shade of green fluctuates tbh. Olive green, forest green, sage green, seafoam green, emerald green, jewel-toned phthalo green⊠all of them live in my heart tbh. (aaand Iâm just a sucker for cool colors in general lmao)
Last book: Iâm finally getting back to a place where I feel like I could try reading again!! Last book I started was Cultish by Amanda Montell, and I have a lot of other promising reads I checked out on a rare feel-good day and havenât cracked open yet (which might be overdue; theyâll return home soon đ)
Last movie: When Marnie Was There! My brother and I have been trying to catch up by watching some Studio Ghibli movies from time-to-time (hadnât heard of any outside of Ponyo until I was out of high school⊠OOPSâ), and Marnie was next on our list. Looots of big feelings about that story.
Last tv show: main things Iâm (mostly) keeping up with tv-wise are DanDaDan and NCIS: Origins. Iâm thiiiinking about starting Moriarty the Patriot, and everyoneâs praise for Arcane has me curious đ
Sweet/savory/spicy: heavy on the savory tbh. Thereâs appreciation for the sweet and spicy forsure, but savory is at the top for me currently!!
Relationship status: friendship is magic NEXT QUESTION
Last thing I searched: I canât lie, that poll I reblogged about soup had me looking up Italian wedding and pumpkin soup recipes. Tumblr is makin me HONGRY
Current obsession: LMM frEakin bit me again; Warriors (2024) has been stuuuuck in my head and on repeat for days. Those are my giiiirls. So many fun genres to explore in a musical! Outside of that and the usual suspects (bears, the swimmies, etc), Iâd probably have to say PokĂ©mon TCGP and PokĂ©mon Sleep. I still need to pull my beloved Snorlax and Venusaur on TCGP (or some worthwhile dark types to progress in the solo battle challenges), and I was so happy to wake up to a baby Bulbasaur next to my Snorlax on Sleep this morning <333 Iâm such a sucker for lil guys
Looking forward to: soon? I get to visit my grandma again tomorrow! Iâve been trying to see her close to weekly since sheâs been in that nursing home (and since they allowed for safe masked visits), and each day I still have with her is a gift đ hospice and general QoL decline have been a process, but on days sheâs doing alright, she adores getting to see me <3 beyooond that, Iâm looking forward to the sakadays anime in January!!
Favorite drink: tough one!! Umm, Iâve been on a rootbeer kick on and off for the past year so thatâs def up there. Apple juice and fruit punches are good sometimes as well, same with Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb. Iâve been a water guy lately tbh, but I like a fun lil drink now and then!! OOH I need to have wassail again soon đ€€
Song playing on a loop in your head: âCall Me Mercyâ from Warriors, due to the aforementioned obsession. Something particularly earwormy about that one. Other songs from the musical come to me in snippets, but that one is fully on loop
Current favorite character: outside of the permanent mind residents (I see green and blue in everything), Fox from Warriors and Taro Sakamoto from SakaDays have been spinning around in there, along with their friends. Momo and Okarun are also bickering up in the mind palace, naturally
Fun activity you would like to get into: I just need to get back to cultivating my hobbies now that Iâm a lil less doom and gloom than I was a month ago. I guess different forms of crafting are always on this list. I took a drawing class/session at the library last week that looked into the basics of light and shadow, so maybe I can get into graphite and charcoal sketching!! I used to try some charcoal stuff years ago without instruction, and experimenting it was fun enough to try again.
Last video game: Balatro my beloved !!! Itâs been surprisingly fun, despite my fear of deck-builders in the past. I think it helps that thereâs a lot of chance and variety to it, so each run can be a chance to try something new.
Last comic/graphic novel: I guess Blue Exorcist? Again, itâs been a minute since Iâve been in a mindset to read đ
Iâm probably going to catch back up on it soon, and Iâve been planning on doing a sakadays reread since my brother just started reading it. Weâll see what happens!!
No pressure tagging @ahobbitincamelot @tonfea @shenyaanigans @reikunrei @lithopsy @celesteeal @suhmayzooka and anyone else who feels like yapping đđđ

I just wanted some modern besties Phillip and Penelope vibes being single parents and raising their kids together with occasional visits from crazy uncle Michael. Kinda like Full House style.
Phillip and Penelope met when her cousin Marina and his brother George started to go out with one another. Both being the quiet introvert types they got along well. When they both realized they were going to the same university they started to hang out more.
Sadly tragedy struck when George, who was a solider, was killed in action. This news made Marina, who was already suffering from postpartum, fall into a deep depression. So bad that she ended up taking her own life. The parents left behind a pair of twins Oliver and Amanda Crane.
Phillip ended up stepping up and adopting the twins. He didn't trust anyone else to take care of them despite the doubts he has for himself, and he felt like he owed George for taking care of him all those years ago.
Penelope herself also ended up having twins, Agatha and Thomas Featherington, after a drunken one night stand with "a random man in London."
"Penelope!" Michael laughed. "How scandalous! You don't who your baby daddy is?"
"Nope," Penelope said, rubbing her pregnant belly. "Black out drunk. My mother is not happy either."
The three friends were at Phillip's ancestral home visiting. Well, Penelope was actually hiding out after revealing to her mother her pregnancy, and Michael likes drama, so of course, he had to come hear the story.
"You know you could just stay here," Phillip offered later that night. "This house is too big its not like three more will make a difference and the twins love having their Aunt Penelope around."
Penelope happily accepted her friend's offer. The two friends happily live with one another doing their best to raise the kids. Michael came to visit every once in a while. Making sure to bring gifts and sweets for the children.
Things took an interesting turn, though, when the Crane twins were 8 and the Featherington twins were 6.
The cousins were playing in the park when Penelope heard another mother say. "Did I have another son?"
Penelope looked over. A pretty blonde, pregnant woman who could be Cinderella come to life was looking down at four boys. One of those boys being Penelope's son.
Penelope sighed. While both her children could be little troublemakers, just like their older cousins, Thomas has this charm about him that could get him almost anything he wanted.
Picking up Agatha Penelope made her way over to the other mother. "I'm sorry, I think our sons are playing a prank."
Penelope looked down at the four boys and whoa. They really did look a like. If Thomas eye's weren't emerald green, Penelope might not have been able to tell them apart, especially with the oldest boy.
"Oh, it's alright," the blonde woman laughed. "You think I would be used to this. My children's cousins all look alike to some degree and some could potentially switch places with one another." She held out a hand. "I'm Sophie Bridgerton."

canon divergence AU where Penelope confides in Marina and they actually become friends slaps soooo hard tho
Penelope coming to Marina when Portia locked her up in her room and Marina telling her about George just like in canon, but this time, Penelope sympathizes with her and listens as Marina laments about George, and shows her their letters, and Penelope is so moved by how open Marina is and so touched by their love story that she shyly says "Marina, in finding this out, I cannot help but feel I have judged you unfairly. I was so upset at your growing closeness with. . .well. . .Colin. . .Colin is like my George. I am not with Colinâs child but I feel as though I feel about him the same as you do George. The way you talk about your George is the same asâŠwellâŠI feel about Colin. Our feelings mirror one another." and Marina being so appreciative that Penelope confided in her and immediately being so understanding and supportive. She's waiting for George to come steal her away but she gets why Penelope is into Colin. They're bonded through their love being a difficult thing for them or a thing they cannot fully act on. they find kinship with one another through it and decide to help each other
Just imagine how much better *both* their lives would be if they just formed a real friendship? Penelope helping Marina with writing letters to George, having secret sleepovers in her room even tho Portia forbids it, banding together to stand up to her, snooping with one another after that letter she forges and discovering the truth together, thirsting over Colin!!! So many of Penelope's frustrations would be eased if she just had *someone* she could thirst over Colin with. Marina telling Pen how babies are actually made. Penelope using LW to help Marina find a husband and/or to attempt to find George. Marina telling Colin he's a sweet man, really, and that he's been nothing but kind to her, but he already has people that make him happy and people he makes happy, in turn. Marina's 'You have Penelope' actually making sense. Penelope becoming Marina's wingwoman and Marina becoming Penelope's. The two of them giggling behind their fans in a ballroom, whispering about how he just looks *so* cute when he's bumbling about looking for them on the dance floor and did you notice his waistcoat is especially form fitting tonight?
we could have female solidarity. we could have sisterhood. we could have Penelope's circle widening. we could have them openly thirsting on Colin having Cake on main!!! Marina can have a full support system. Penelope can have someone to vent with. Penelope introducing Eloise and Marina to each other! The friendship! The sarcasm! The roasting of nonsensical ton rules and expectations!
We can even still have Marina in a carriage with Phillip, so long as she chooses it, because Penelope in this AU would ensure Marina got *more* choices, not less, but this time Penelope runs to her, clutching her hands, telling her she'd write. we could have Penelope coming to visit, having an opportunity to leave her mum's house whenever she wants under the 'I'm going to see Marina' excuse. we could have Penelope playing with Amanda and Oliver as Marina teaches them French or going on promenades with her out on the *massive* grounds. We could have Marina tell Penelope how good it is to have family over. . .well, *some* family, and the two of them laughing about it. We could have ALL the Portia roasts. We could have Marina slyly going 'soooooo, what of Colin?' when she stops by and Penelope going 'soooo, what of *your* affairs?' in return as they titter about it
we could have it all
#polin#penelope featherington#colin bridgerton#marina thompson#bridgerton#huge shoutout to joella for the dialogue you're a real one#the sheer levels of THIRST we could have gotten if they went this direction#who is penelope meant to vent to? eloise? 'oh your brother's butt just looked soooooo thick when he was singing at the piano'#NO!!! but she could tell Marina and she could look at her and go 'how thick?' and we could get Penelope trying to show her#through rounding her hands and going '. . .no wait he was thicker'#LOOK WHAT THEY TOOK FROM US!!!!!#Marina could have come to Penelope like 'Portia is really trying to get me to marry Lord Rutledge' gag#and Pen replying with 'isn't he like. . .236 years old?' GAG#'yeah. and get this: he inspected my TEETH???' GAG GAG#!!!! GAG GAG GAG!!!!!!#'NO!! oh we condemn. we condemn wholeheartedly. here wanna listen to the scathing LW article i'm gonna write about him so you'll be free?'#LOOK WHAT WE COULD HAVE HAD

Fic I Want to Read: The Unexpected Gentleman (Theloise)
Imagine that George and Phillip Crane had an aunt they never met. This aunt ran off with an unsuitable lover when she was but 17 years old. Her brother never tried to track her down.
Then George dies, and Phillip takes on his would-be wife, children, and the estate.
Then Marina and Phillip die in a terrible accident. He was trying to save her from drowning, but her dress and some reeds got caught around his leg and he could not get himself or her free. They died together and there's a bit of a scandal over whether it was an accident, a double suicide, or a murder suicide. The twins are only toddlers at the time.
The luridness of the scandal hits the ton, which is how Eloise learns of it.
The Featheringtons of course try to step in as regents and caretakers while the twins age, which doesn't sit right with Penelope. She hurt Marina once to secure her own happiness; she will not stand by while her mother swoops in to steal Oliver's inheritance.
So Penelope goes snooping and learns about the lost Crane sister. She learns the sister married a tradesman and gave birth to three children, dying to birth the last one (the child was a surprise, born about a decade after her brother, the middle child). The husband basically abandoned his children after that. The eldest two--13 and 10--raised their baby sister. The boy apprenticed himself out in a deal that got him a room large enough for his family to stay in. Once the baby was old enough to learn letters, the eldest took work as a governess, leaving her 16ish year old brother to continue raising their sister. She later becomes a teacher in Brighton.
The family's name was Sharpe. The boy worked in a print shop.
Penelope, remembering Eloise's flirtation, thinks this is fantastic news. Amanda and Oliver will have better caretakers and Eloise will be able to reconnect with Theo now that he's more respectable in the eyes of the ton.
Before Penelope shares her information with authorities, she tells Eloise. Eloise is furious that Penelope is, once again, taking other people's lives into her own hands, but Penelope refuses to shift. She has to do this for Marina.
Eloise decides, if she cannot stop Penelope, she can warn Theo. This rekindles their friendship. When Theo is later pressed to move to the Crane estate with his younger sister, he and Eloise begin exchanging letters.
He is coming to terms with his new position, mourning children, a resistant staff, and a confused younger sister who treats her cousins like unwanted younger siblings.
Since Theo is clearly in over his head (he would and does dispute this), Eloise decides she must visit and help. After all, it was her friend who dumped him in this mess (even if said friendship is not as close as it once was).
And then it more-or-less plays out like the book. Theo and Eloise investigate Marina and Phillip's deaths together. They find ways to help the grieving twins. Eloise builds a bond with the now-11 or 12-year-old sister, and they find the way to help the estate prosper after it floundered under George's absence and Phillip's inattention.
(Perhaps the deaths were even a double-murder and the too-kind nanny is anything but. She only drugged Marina, never expecting Phillip to be snared by the same trap).
#bridgerton#fic i want to read#theloise#this keeps the plot#but gives Eloise a reason to get involved#and retains the ongoing featherington focus#and restores a fan favorite tv ship#and gets rid of one of the least liked spouses#while again retaining the general plot

Since Eloise and phillip get together when the twins are quite young. How old are they when Penny comes along?
Is Penny a surprise or she the result of spreadsheets, debate and a bit of firewhisky?
The twins have just turned 10 when Penny comes along. For the longest time it hadn't even crossed Eloise's mind to have any biological kids of her own. In fact she considered it a result to be a mother without going through the aches and pains of pregnancy and childbirth, and she was more than content with the family set-up of her, Phillip, Oliver, and Amanda - that was until two events happened in quick succession.
Firstly Benedict had welcomed his long-awaited for little girl and when she came to visit her brother with his now complete family, she felt a strange wave of disappointment that she wouldn't get to experience raising a baby alongside Benedict with Violet. It was quite a peculiar thought about a hypothetical scenario that she wasn't aware had ever crossed her mind. She dismissed the idea out of hand, thinking it was nothing more than her hormones being overcome with just how cute baby Violet was as she snuggled with her newborn niece - just because Benedict and Sophie's baby was incredibly adorable, didn't mean she wanted to have a baby of her very own. That was ridiculous.
However only a couple of weeks later during a Bridgerton family Sunday roast, Eloise was left stupefied when Colin announced that he and Penelope were having a baby. As everyone congratulated the happy couple, Eloise stayed frozen in her seat as she processed the fact that her brother and best friend were going to have a baby. When she eventually managed to hug Penelope and stiffly tell her best friend how happy she was for her, Eloise realised that the strange feeling she was experiencing was one of jealousy. She was confused; surely she wasn't so demanding of her best friend's attention that she had preemptive jealousy about her future niece or nephew robbing even more of Penelope's attention away from her? She had thought she had accepted her best friend's relationship with Colin, in fact she was even elated that they had found happiness with one another; so why now was she suffering from a case of the green eyed monster?
It wasn't until later on in bed that night, after hours of wracking her brains that Eloise sat up straight when she finally realised why she was jealous. The jealousy was FOMO-based; because she wanted to have a baby herself. It was why she had felt oddly disappointed that she wouldn't have a baby to raise alongside Benedict with Violet, and it was the exact same feeling she had imagining Penelope with a newborn; because she wanted to be a part of it too, to experience welcoming a new life into the world and doting on a baby and raising them and discovering their little character. She thought raising Oliver and Amanda was enough for her, but now she realised she wanted to do it all over again.
"Phil. Phil! Wake up!"
"El?" her husband groaned as he was shaken awake. "Woz goin' on?"
"Phil, I think I want a baby."
And suddenly a sleep-heavy Phillip was wide awake. He listened as she expressed her feelings, talking through her initial confusion about how she felt, and explaining her reasoning for wanting to have a baby.
"I know it's unexpected and maybe you're more than happy with the twins - and believe me so am I! I love them to pieces and they've brought me so much joy. I just can't help but think that... well, maybe we could make even more joy. Unless you don't want to, of course, that's totally cool if not,"
"El." he cut her off and she instantly fell silent as she awaited his response. "I'd love to have baby with you."
An ecstatic grin broke across her face as Phillip's answer made her realise just how hopeful she had been about his reaction, and she threw her arms around him to pull him into a jubilant kiss.
"When did you want to start-"
"Now." Eloise answered, much to Phillip's surprise. "Because I was thinking if we started right away then there's a chance the baby might end up in the same school year as Violet, and Colin and Penelope's baby, just so they wouldn't feel alone or left out in their first year of Hogwarts-"
Her wittering was cut off by Phillip's lips catching hers and pulling her on top of him before they began to make quick work of unbuttoning tops and yanking off bed clothes - and then nine months later on August 31st, Penelope Crane made her timely appearance into the world, bringing as much joy as her parents and big brother and sister had hoped she would.

SMB Future Gen: Polin baby dynamic ideas
Ive got a whole dynamic for the future gen of Bridgertons for my SMB verse. But really been refraining from writing or sharing about it because, again, we are nowhere near that point in the actual SMB fic.
But I really can't help but want to post a few ideas I have for the SMBPolin babes dynamics/Dark chaotic energy :
1) Oh Shit! Jane what did you do!?
Agatha swallowed as the warm liquid splatter on her cheeks cooled. Her eyes were unable to look away from the mess her baby sister had just made.
"Did she just-" Thomas numbly started to blurt but was cut off by the wrangled scream from the terrified and bloody woman underneath a gurgling body.
"Shut Up." Jane ordered with a hiss before flicking the blood off her quill and poising to continue taking the statement of the whimpering woman at their feet. "Now, repeat for me what you claimed to know about the truth of the infamous Sir Lee Anders and his Lady Red.."
Agatha swallowed and resisted the shudder from the cold of Jane's tone. Papa had always warned her that Jane had inherited far more of his temper than the rest of them... She didn't believe him till tonight. Ugh, and now she will need to call on cousin Neville for yet another favour. The things she did for her family.
2) Can I borrow that?
"Thomas.... is that my Pocket watch?" Miles questioned as he stared at the tiny pieces of his once intact pocket watch. While he had no real attachment to the item, it was still..... well.... it had been his.
"Oh, yes. Apologies I was meant to put that back together before you came to visit." Thomas explained as he continued to scribble in his leather skin note book what ever nonsense that churned about in his head.
"When did you take my pocket watch?" Miles continued to question. He oddly felt as if he was experiencing an out-of-body experience.
"Yesterday, when you bent to kiss Miss Lake's hand after your dance." Thomas absently answered as he grumbled and scratched something he had written.
"Thomas you stole from me...." Miles slowly pointed out as one would to a dimwit.
"It is not stealing if one intended to return what was taken. I borrowed it."
"Thomas..... THAT was a gift."
"Yes, one you barely cared for. By the way, can I borrow your footman?"
"No! LEST You try to disect the poor man as well!!" Miles exclaimed with exasperation. Thomas had the audacity to scoff as if it were Miles being ridiculous.
"Jane is the one with a stronger interest in biology, cousin, you know this."
Miles groaned into his palms and wondered how his Father survived the madness of his siblings genetics.
3) George Slow Down!!
"What do you mean you don't know how to- WATCH OUT!!"
George let out an uncharacteristic cackle that many wouldn't expect has he urged the horses to race faster. Oliver was screaming from his perch beside his cousin as they raced down dirt roads, thank fully empty, and skidded round corners. It wasn't until a wayward goat had found its way onto the middle of their path that Oliver truly felt terror.
"BRIDGERTOOOOOON!!!!"
"HIYAAAAH!!" George searched with a boisterous laugh.
Later, when they'd successfully parked the carriage before the Crane family home, where their siblings and one very amused Lady Eloise Crane waited, Oliver would deny what happened.
"George, You look a mess!?" Eloise exclaimed as she looked over the gentle mannered 16year old. George, with his windswept hair, plump cheeks and mothers eyes, simply shrugged in response.
"Brother?" Amanda called with concern.
Oliver did not reply, not when he was far too busy throwing up what little was in his stomach.
"Never again!" Oliver swore between heaves "You are never to be handed the reigns of any transportation so long as I live, George Michael Bridgerton!!"
George merely blinked in response, looking as deceivingly innocent as his late-mother. Eloise laughed, and if her laughter was tinged with the sound of grief, the children politely took no notice.
4) Ask me no questions and I shall tell you no lies.
Charlotte was nervous, who wouldn't be when one spent the better half of the evening dragging a man along the earthy ground in the dead of night.
"Aggie, are you sure-" Charlotte nervously fretted.
"Shh!" Agatha hushed before carefully adjusting the cloth covering the unconscious, possibly dead, Lord Murtle.
"Agatha, if my brothers or gods my father-"
"Lottie, enough! I'll handle it alright. This ain't the first time I've had to get rid of a Lord or two" Agatha huffed as she proceeded to carefully flit through the pockets of the unconscious figure.
"At least you clobbered him and not gutted him. A drunken wander into the streets proceeded by a mugging should do the trick.." Agatha mumbled.
Charlotte watched her younger cousin expertly strip the lord of his valubles and proceed to stage his plight with expertise. She had only wished to get him away from her, not knock him unconscious.
"Are we to simply leave him here?" Charlotte nervously fretted.
"Yes! Listen, it's best if you hurry home to mine, Thomas and Jane should be good to solidify an alibi for you. Seeing as no one even knows of my return to London, I can safely square everything away. No one will need to know of what could have happened between you and Mr Murtle. I promise!" Agatha assured.
Charlotte still looked hesitant as she glanced at the sheet covered form.
"But I- "
Agatha gripped her older cousin with both arms and sternly looked her deep in her eyes.
"He's not dead Lottie. You did nothing wrong. It was self-defense. Tomorrow, he'll wake with a headache and no memory at all of your encounter believing it a dream. Now go home."
With one last nudge, Charlotte finally left Agatha alone as instructed. Agatha waited until she was sure her cousin was far away from hearing range and sight. Only then did she bow her head and sigh.
From the shadows emerged a man, slow clapping dramatically. Agatha pinched at the bridge of her nose as the man joined her.
"I must say cousin, your ability to deceive is always so very fascinating to witness."
"Oh shut up Neville. Now grab his feet so we can be rid of this mess." Agatha hissed.
Neville Berbrooke grinned, the expression as flippant and airy as his mother.
"Grandmama always did say the mixing of Bridgertons and Featheringtons were sure to be a deadly combination..." Neville kicked the covered corpse with a snicker and smirked. "You still owe me for the last body I helped you bury, sweet Aggie"
Agatha sighed and glared down at the very dead Lord Murtle and lightly punched the arm of her snickering cousin. Undoubtedly, he was going to be insufferable about the many favours she owes.
"The things I do for family...." Agatha later sighed as she watched Neville sink the stone filled corpse into the depths of the sea.
With the help of her Maternal cousin, Agatha arranged the quiet disappearance of Lord Murtle with great care. A few paid whispers among the poor, a theatric performance from hired thugs, two or more manipulated witnesses from the ton and finally a stack of carefully forged letters confirming Mr Murtle's scandalous flee from society. It only took a week for Agatha to see the mess of Mr Murtle neatly tidied and forgotten.
"Aggie.... How did you do it? How did you convince Mr Murtle to flee town?" Charlotte curiously whispered once Mr Murtle's fate was publicly revealed to society.
Agatha laughed and shrugged "Just had a bit conversation with the man. Nothing to it. Believe me, Lottie, there very little talking to be had. Once he realized it was a Bridgerton he'd crossed, you could say the man was damned no matter what."
Agatha saw no reason to burden her cousin with the truth of what was truly and unfortunate accident.

So I meant to come back to the WIP game later and then I kiiiiiinda forgot about it for a few days buuuuut please please please tell me something about
put him on his knees and give him something to believe in
đœ
đ
Because I've taken forever to answer, I've since posted about the first part, which can be found here.
TLDR is that put him on his knees, give him something to believe in is sequel to nothing gold can stay AKA the AU where Lady Whistledown doesn't reveal Marina's secret and Colin and Marina proceed with their elopement.
So I'll give you an upcoming snippet, with Penelope reflecting on an event we see briefly in nothing gold can stay (which was from Marina's POV):
She had thought she had no room in her heart for pain besides that of being ripped away from Colin and still she had managed to stand strong and not cry when theyâd exchanged their parting words before she walked down the aisle.
Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief â
So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.Â
Goodbye, Colin.
But at the end of the wedding breakfast came Amanda, the crown of daisies she wore as flower girl askew in her mussed curls, with her small sobs and shaking shoulders, to say goodbye.
Then Penelopeâs tears had finally escaped: tears for herself, for Colin, for their baby, for Amanda and for Oliver, and even for Marina, whose first lie had trapped them all in an ever-more complicated and farcical web.

Sunset, phillip and Eloise
Word count: 182
(Look I can do a Drabble!!!)
Nothing but tooth rotting fluff ahead
( @sirphillipcranestanaccount Iâm tagging you cause itâs your babies)
Sunset questions
It was her favourite time of the day, he knew that, like he knew her favourite book was Pride and Prejudice but told everyone it was Little WomenâŠ
He knew that she had an adorable little mole on her left bum cheek and a tattoo on her right, of a bee to commemorate and remind her of her fathers strength.
He knew she was a force to be reckoned with and when she was angry there was not a place on this earth you could hide from her wrath
He knew she loved fiercely with her entire heart and soul and he had been privileged to witness it over the last 18 months, not only did she love him but she loved his twins.
She was the missing piece of the puzzle and so at Sunset he had Amanda and Oliver waiting to ask Eloise the most important question he couldâŠ
They stood there, on the edge of the lake at her family country home and as the sun shone the last of its beautiful colours, he got on one knee as the twins asks âwill you marry our daddy?â

Bloody Noses & Ice Cream

Papa Mine Drabble
Summary: Lucas Bramley is a little bully leaving Baylie & Raven to do whatâs necessary⊠like giving him a bloody nose.
A/N: Lucas Bramley (Hermes) is from Lucky Penny by @bayisdying ! Please check it out HERE!
{masterlist đ} {previous chapter đ} {next chapter đ}
To say the least, the Kernerâs didnât know what to say or expect when their baby girl was born. Amandaâs skin was fair, eyes a beautiful royal blue, and hair as dark as Jadeâs chocolate brown curls.
Ron and Jadeâs skin was tan or olive in color, dark haired, and brown eyes, nothing like that shown in their mini-me. As she grew, her hair became blonde and had red strands woven in the mix of wild waves upon her head, skin still fair and sensitive, and eyes looking more and more like the deepest of oceans.
Amanda looked more like her paternal grandparents. Her grandmother, Adalaide, who was fair skinned, deep ocean blue eyes, and red hair. Her grandfather, Felix, had tanned skin, brown eyes, and blonde hair.
If you didnât know better, youâd think that Amanda looked a little bit more like a Kazansky then a Kerner and Baylie, a Kerner more than a Kazansky.
Tom Kazansky, Ronâs best friend and pilot, had sky blue eyes and blond hair. Rachael, his wife, had sky blue eyes, fair skin, and chestnut brown hair. Baylie, their daughter, had beautiful olive skin, brown-grey eyes, and dark chocolate brown hair.
Both girls the complete opposite of their biological parents, but similar to the other couple. Everyone around that knew the families would never question whoâs daughterâs whoâs, but they didnât really care either.
At Top Gun, all the aviators in the squadrons were very close and saw each other as family.
Children, on the other hand, are very curious and donât have a filter. And most of the time parents' rudeness and other traits are a learned behavior, just like their grandparents taught them.
So it wasnât a big surprise when the first-grade bully, Lucas Bramley, decided to pick on Baylie and Amanda because they looked different than their Mommies and Daddies. âWhy donât you look like youse mommy and daddy?â
The girlsâ did the big kid thing and turned the other cheek, but as the day went on and the comments got worst, it started to get on their nerves.
They had told the teacher about the comments and all she did was take him outside and talk to him each time and Luke still wouldnât stop.
Baylie has a better control on her temper at this young of age than Amanda does, and many times did Mousey have to distract her while Bay took charge of the situation. As the day came to an end and Luke followed them around, Bay had finally cracked.
âI fink that Baylie is really Mister Ronâs and that Amanda is really Mister Tomâs. Yous donât look like yous belong to the right Mommies and Daddies!â Bay had held her tongue and fists all day and had enough of this stupid-head.
It took merely seconds for Bayâs tiny balled up hands to punch Lucasâ face, a satisfying crunch noise echoed round the quiet classroom.
Mousey was shy, but just as over it as her sisters were at the boy, and copied her sisterâs actions, punching him again in the face.
Ms. Hart, the teacher, rushed over and comforted a wailing Luke while the assistant, Ms. Jordan, took the Kazansky girls and Amanda to the Principalâs Office to talk about the rules of behavior in the classroom.
Once Lucas was feeling better and had an icepack against his bloody and slightly sideways nose, parents were called.
Of course, since the Kernerâs and Kazanskyâs were aviators it took a long period of time to get ahold of them, but when the message was finally received after they all landed, the parents all headed over to the school.
Tom and Rachael knew that their daughters wouldnât hit anyone unless provoked, they taught them better than to just swing without reason.
When the three couples arrived, all were sat down with the children and the principal and told to tell the tale of why they chose violence.
Bay was the first to speak up, cutting Lukeâs remark off before he couldnât tell a lie and get out of the trouble he deserves.
âHe was walking around and spreading lies Mama! He says that me and Mana werenât born to the right Mommy and Daddys âcause we donât look like yous!â
âWe told Ms. Hart, but alls she did was take âim to the hallway and talk to hims! He comes back in and do it all over again!â announced Ray, immediately going back to folding into herself and looking away from the group.
âLuke even made Mana cry, he deserved the punch for being a stupid-head!â with the stern look from her parents, Bay sat back down in the small plastic chairs, pudgy arms folded over her chest like her dad.
The Principal took in the information and nodded as he came up with the punishment fit for the crime. âNow that we have heard Baylie and Ravenâs point of views, Iâd like to hear Amandaâs and Lucasâ, itâs only fair.â
âI didnât say nothinâ! They make that up-â
âNo we not!â shouted Amanda, as she jumped out of her seat, face red hot and scrunched up in anger. Ron gently grabbed his daughterâs arm and held her to his chest to calm her down, by letting her listen to his heartbeat.
The soothing rhythm took affect almost immediately, her little round arms wrapped around her fatherâs neck as she sat in his lap to hear it better, further lulling her anger from before.
âHe did say that about our Mommysâ and Daddies. Luke been being mean to us for months, saying that Daddy leaves âcause he donât love me.â
Tom and Ronâs head whips to the little boy, anger stored in their eyes as they glare at him and the parents for not disciplining their child for the wrong and bad behavior he shows.
Mr. and Mrs. Bramley have their heads held high, smirks on their snobby and rich faces. Ron figures thatâs where their son gets his entitlement from. Like parent, like child.
Rachael takes action, the reason why her callsign is Dragon coming to light. Using a nice and firm voice, âTom and Ron are aviators for the Navy and sometimes the Navy has to send them away to fight the bad guys so we can stay a free country.â
Mrs. Sobby harshly grabs her son by the arm and rips him back towards her and her husband, taking no mind to the boyâs whines and whimpers.
âDonât talk to my Lucas like heâs stupid. Heâs very smart, the smartest child here no doubt, and this school is for the âgiftedâ children, not brats like your daughters.â she snarked, Mr. Sobby behind her and smirk still proudly on his face.
âIâm sorry, did you say âbratsâ when you addressed our girls? Because the last I checked, my daughter, nor do my nieces, act like they own and are handed everything because Ron and I are too busy to actually take care of our kids.â
âHow dare you talk to me like that, do you even know who youâre talking to in that tone?â
âNo, and to be honest, I donât care. This is about your son acting out in school and bullying our daughters because he thinks thatâs ok. You need to learn how to behave and then teach your son. Come on girls, letâs go to base.
As the Kernerâs and Kazanskyâs left they were told that the children would be suspended for three days for fighting but would be allowed back next week.
The families started to drive back and as they did Rachael and Jade had been chatting over messages and had agreed that the girls deserved some sort of treat for staying patient as long as they did and for standing up for each other.
The parents were very proud of their daughters and knew that their aunts and uncles would be too.
Bay realized first that they werenât on the way home and stared wide-eyed at her father, who had a knowing smirk on his lips through the rearview mirror.
Bay couldnât contain her excitement and screamed which caused Raven to look over and start stiming by shaking her hands enthusiastically and jumping up and down in her booster seat.
Rachael looked behind her and started to giggle at her daughtersâ reactions, tapping Tom on his shoulder and pointing to the backseats.
Once the car had stopped, Bay was out of her booster seat, yanking the car door open and jumping out as Ron and Jadeâs car had parked beside their own.
Raven was close behind her sister, waiting for her dad to grab their hands so they could walk across the street.
Ron had Amanda on his back getting ready to carry her and asking her about the dessert she would get while holding Jadeâs hand lovingly.
The small group had made their way into the Dairy Queen and ordered, the children picked out the booth they would all sit at and started to eat their treats.
It wasnât long before little Bradley had opened the door and soon Carole, Nick, and Scarlett werenât far behind, then Leo and Cricket, Rick and Duckie, and so many others had arrived and sat down to celebrate with them.
When it was time to go back to base, everyone said their goodbyes and told the girls how proud they were of them.
Tom and Ron carried their daughters to the car and the couples said their own goodbyes and planned playdates for the next couple of days.
The girls were put to bed soon after they got home and the parents watched the CCTV video that the teacher had sent of Bay and Ray punching that spoiled ass kid in his nose, making comments and laughing at his surprised face.
Tom couldnât wait to show the guys what their nieces did, he knew that thereâd be so much laughter and jokes made for years to come.

Here's the whole text, in case it goes behind a paywall for anyone:
By Amanda Gelender
Kaddish for the Soul of Judaism: Genocide in Palestine
As I write this, the wheels of genocide are turning. As I write this, I am preparing for Shabbat.
When I see Gaza, I see my own people languishing in concentration camps. I see a world that has turned its back on us, letting us be slaughtered en masse because we arenât quite human enough.
I am having a nightmare, can you wake me up? Iâm dreaming that the Star of David is not sewn onto our clothes but affixed to the genocidal soldiers who bomb hospitals, schools, and churches with no regard for life. Who round up entire communities and shoot kids dead in the street.
I remember there was talk of Tikkun Olam and Tzedakahâââis our humanity buried somewhere under the rubble? Is anyone still breathing under there? I scour bombed remnants of residential buildings for shreds of Judaismâs soul. I thought it was still here. I thought so many things that evaporated in the dust of an air strike.
We built institutions and monuments to ânever forgetâ but look at us now. It seems we left our humanity outside the door of the holocaust memorial museum. Jews are a diasporic miracle trapped in a nation state of lies. Israel has sacrificed our humanity at the altar of nationalism.
Thereâs no anesthesia in the hospital but can you bear the pain a bit longer, Palestine? We would help, but our hands are already covered in blood.
I want to invite all of Gaza to Shabbos dinner tonight â is there an evacuation route you wonât bomb, Israel? And when the Shabbat candles dim, can my friends please use the keys around their necks to finally return home?
Perhaps one day we will pull a Gazan childâs diary from the rubble and ash. We will dust off the casings and gun powder. Will we be able to read her words under blood-soaked paper? Did her dreams die in the phosphorous gas dropped on her head? Our grandchildren will ask us about the Palestinian genocide and why the world didnât intervene. Was she too brown or was it just âtoo complicated?â
Did you hear about the boy from Gaza who took his own life this week? Who saw hell on earth and chose to leap into the unknown instead of being murdered by an airstrike? Lay his body on the pile too, please, next to the shoes at Auschwitz. My ancestors from Mount Masada will protect him â they too chose to die by their own hand rather than suffer the indignity of slaughter by the tyrant. Things fall apart.
A pregnant Palestinian woman was blasted dead by an Israeli air strike this week. Doctors tried to deliver her baby from the motherâs dead corpse. I donât know if the baby lived. If she did, can she sit under our sukkah next year so the sun can grace her face?
Can you hear me recite the Mournerâs Kaddish for every soul killed in Gaza? It may take me a moment, I have to say thousands of prayers, and each person has a name. I will sit Shiva for a million lifetimes. I leave a stone on each martyred grave to root the dead back into the earth, but I can still hear the screaming and Iâm trying to pray.
I want to turn back the clock. Can you please unburn the houses and re-root the olive tree groves, Israel? Can you drain the concrete you poured in the water springs? Can you unlaunch the bombs you dropped on the hospitals? I canât hear you at the bimah because the air strikes are too loud.
Does it make you feel strong, Israel? To be the one wielding the gun as children cower? Are you healed now, do you know peace? You are a coward, dropping bombs from the sky making vapid platitudes for peace. I want to reach for Jewish wisdom but I cannot read the Talmud, itâs covered in blood.
Gaza is starving, can she eat at our Seder? Can you jump on the tracks before this train arrives at Bergen-Belsen? Can you distract the guard and dump the Zyklon B? Can you poison the commander or throw a rock of resistance at his tank? Can you see a Palestinian as human before you turn on this deadly gas? Itâs all quite unpleasant and distracting me from prayer.
Iâm wailing at the wall. I need challah for Shabbos but Israel bombed the last bakery in Gaza. Palestine is hungry for justice and the dehydration is setting in.
Iâm having a nightmare, can you please wake me up? Iâm dreaming that they fooled the Jewish people to do the bidding of western imperialism. To feed their tech, their fascism, their bank accounts, their global death squads for the expansion of empire. That us Jews wiped out villages and stole indigenous land, maintaining 75 years of genocide. All I see are pieces of G-dâs dead children in plastic grocery bags â can you please wake me up?
You â who squat in stolen homes and kidnap children. You â who rape, murder, mutilate, humiliate, then take a photo. You â Israel. You are not me, you never were. My Judaism spans thousands of years. My Judaism is expansive, righteous, boundless, rooted. I am a miracle of Jewish diasporic vision that could never be contained by a military state. I have no love for you or your fascism, Israel. I donât know you and I never did.
I wish we had time to ponder what this all means for the soul of Judaism. But itâs Shabbat and the wheels of genocide are already turning. And my beloved Jewish people are driving this bus off the cliff. Can you feel this empire of dust crumbling to the ground? Is bombing really a balm for your crushed spirit?
Have you ever wondered why the nazi soldier didnât lay down his weapon? I have. What idea, what nation state, did he believe in so much that he could mow us all down and laugh? What could have made him see that we deserved to live? That Palestine deserves to be free?
Palestine will never forget. The world will never forget. My Jewish descendants and I will never forget. And who are you in this moment, my beloved fellow Jew? Are you waving the Israeli flag as entire lineages of Palestinian families are wiped from the public record? Are you partying at the edge of a concentration camp? Has the guilt crept up your spine yet? And how many dead children will make you feel safe? Whatâs the number? When you kill that many, will you stop?
When I see Gaza, I am the Palestinians. I do not see myself in the face of an Israeli soldierâââwhy should I? Because we are both Jewish? I see a colonizer, an occupier, a violent settler. I see someone willing to keep their boot on the neck of Palestine until she dies in the street.
Tell me the story again, zayde. Of David and Goliath, of Palestine and Israel, of a stone vs a tank. Tell me again who you are and tell me the truth this time.

To add: I really want Eloise to have biological children in the show. Only so she can have the conversation about love with Francesca. How you can love a child that is not yours.
Also, I think it would be very interesting to see Eloise fight her anxiety surrounding childbirth. So many women confront the same fears. It is an important conversation. It would be interesting to see that on screen.
What do you think?
I think it would be interesting to see Eloise have biological children on the show, too, along with being Oliver and Amanda's chosen mother. Like I said, I'm cool either way, but it would be nice to see her confront this fear she has instead of freezing like a deer in headlights. It will also be intresting to see her take this journey with Phillip too. Because we have to remember in the show the twins are also not Phillip's biologically and I don't think he ever planned to biologically have kids either.
Calling it now, if we get baby Penelope, she's gonna be an accident/unplanned. It will be interesting to see philoise take on the challenge because while yes, this is their first pregnancy, it's their third baby. I think once baby Penelope is there, they'll be okay. It's pregnant Eloise that's gonna be the challenge.
It would also be intresting to see the show take on the challenge of a jealous sibling who is having fertility issues and wants desperately what another sibling has. If we go that route using Eloise and Francesca, I think it would be the right pick. Francesca still loves her sister, but she is hella jealous of Eloise, who used to always say she never will never marry, much less have kids accidentally get pregnant while she struggles. It would open up for a conversation that I feel like Francesca didn't get to have in her book since she still needed to finish grieving John and let herself love Michael.

When BeyoncĂ© and Jay Z announced back in January 2017 they were expecting twins, the Beyhive was abuzz and the Twitterverse was in straight pandemonium. It wasnât long until they welcomed Rumi and Sir into the world; and since then, everyoneâs twin radar has been pinging non-stop. We were curious: How many other celebs are the parents of twins? We set to searching â and we found so many more than we expected. Super high-profile couples like George and Amal Clooney, whose twins Ella and Alex keep them on their toes with their linguistic skills â and former couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony welcomed twins Max and Emme in February 2008. Hilary Swank and Philip Schneider are new to the twin family, welcoming their boy and girl twins in April 2023! Related story Michelle Williams, Jennifer Hudson, & More Celebrity Parents of Only Children Also in the parents-of-twins club: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, Julia Roberts and Danny Moder, and so. many. more. And while these celebs, of course, all love their kids to pieces, theyâve gotten candid about the challenges of being pregnant with twins and raising twins over the years too. âCarrying twins was really uncomfortable because you lay on one side and you feel thereâs a baby, and you lay on the other side and you feel thereâs a baby,â Jennifer Lopez told Parade in 2010. And Modern Family star Julie Bowen vented about the sibling rivalry that can arise in twins: âTheyâre also siblings who want to be together, but they compete,â she told The Huffington Post in 2014. âTheyâre going to become their own people because Iâm going to talk to them and Iâm going to interact with them, not because I necessarily drove one of them to pottery and one of them to karate.â Folks, weâve just grazed the surface. Here are 80 celeb couples with a beautiful, precious set of twins. A version of this article was originally published in June 2017. Brooke Hogan & Steven Oleksy Image Credit: Getty Images for CMT Hulk Hoganâs daughter Brooke Hogan and her husband Steven Oleksy welcomed twins in early Jan 2025! She revealed they welcomed twins on Jan 18, saying on Instagram: âSo⊠just been staying off socials cooking these two cuties. đOliver Andrew Oleksy + Molly Gene Oleksy đ©·Born Jan 15, 2025. Our hearts have been made whole by the arrival of these two sweet souls we get to love. God is good.â Francesca Farago & Jesse Sullivan Image Credit: Gilbert Flores Too Hot to Handleâs Francesca Farago and Jesse Sullivan welcomed twins Poetry Lucia and Locket Romance in November 2024. âIâve never been more in love but Iâve also never had more anxietyđ

Doug Hehner and Jamie Otis Married at First Sightâs Doug Hehner and Jamie Otis welcomed twin sons in Sept. 2024. â[Hawkins Tyler Hehner] ⊠was born head first and cried right away,â Otis told People when announcing the births. âHis twin brother, Huxley James Hehner ⊠was a breech delivery and had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, but was healthy and strong.â Otis and Hehner also share daughter Henley Grace âGracieâ and son Hendrix Douglas. Sarah Herron Image Credit: Amanda Edwards/Getty Images In July 2024, The Bachelor alum Sarah Herron welcomed fraternal twins 7 weeks early. âWorld, meet Everette Rae & Colette Rose,â she wrote on Instagram. âWeâre all adjusting to life in the NICU as we have a long road ahead of usâundeniably filled with twists and turnsâbut the girls are fighters and getting stronger every dayâwe all are,â she continued. ââŠÂ Todayâs plan: Sleep, breathe and grow! ⊠My heart is completely outside of my body for these two miracles.â Gabourey Sidibe Image Credit: Priscilla Grant/Everett Collection Gabourey Sidibe and husband Brandon Frankel have officially entered the Parents of Twins Club! The Oscar nominee welcomed twins â a son, Cooper, and a daughter, Maya â in April 2024, though they didnât announce the news until two months later. In the announcement, Sidibe said her babies are âextremely strong and hilariousâ but âhave yet to really interact with each other.â âIt was a surprise to see how little theyâve acknowledged each other outside the womb when they seemed to interact so much inside,â she said. And yet, it does sound like they can sense each otherâs presence. âCooper will sometimes speak for Maya and alert us that sheâs about to spit up.â Tom Payne & Jennifer Akerman Image Credit: Penske Media via Getty Images The Walking Deadâs Tom Payne his wife Jennifer Ă
kerman welcomed twins in April 2024. âAn entirely unexpected and wonderful surprise,â the couple said in a statement. â[Our son] Harrison is over the moon to have not one but two new siblings.â âJennifer and I have joked that he had something to do with this because thereâs nothing he likes more than a house full of people,â they continued. Cristiano Ronaldo Image Credit: Will Palmer/Sportsphoto/Allstar via Getty Images Famed soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo welcomed Cristiano Jr. back in 2010. Seven years later, he welcomed twins Eva Maria and Mateo via surrogate. Later in 2017, his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez gave birth to Ronaldoâs fourth baby. In Oct. 2021, Ronaldo announced that he and Rodriguez were expecting twins, but six months later he shared the tragic news that their daughter Bella was born but her twin brother Ăngel had tragically died. In an interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo got candid about how theyâve discussed the baby boyâs death with the other kids. âGio arrived home and the kids start to say, âWhereâs the other baby, whereâs the other baby?ââŠAfter one week I said, âLetâs be upfront, and letâs be honest with the kids, letâs say that, Ăngel, which is his name, he go to the Heaven.'â Hilary Swank & Philip Schneider Image Credit: NBC via Getty Images Hilary Swank and Philip Schneider are the parents of boy and girl twins! The Million Dollar Baby star announced the birth of her twins over Easter weekend 2023, with a super cute photo of mom and babies. âIt wasnât easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it. đŒđŒđ€đŒđŒâ she wrote on Instagram. âHappy Easter! đŁđŁ Posting from pure Heaven. đđœâ Gordon Ramsay Image Credit: Variety via Getty Images Gordon Ramsay has five children with his wife Cayetana Hutcheson. Thereâs Megan (b. 1998), Matilda (aka Tilly) (b. 2001), and Oscar (b. 2019). Right there in the middle are twins Holly and Jack (b. 2000). In a Larry King interview, he admitted heâs ânot a hands-onâ father in a quote that is very on-brand for the notoriously harsh chef. âThe time I have with the family is little,â he said. âBut itâs quality. Iâve never been one to be home, Iâve never been a hands-on dad. Iâm not ashamed to admit it, but you canât run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.â Lisa Marie Presley Image Credit: Joe Scarnici/Getty Images The late Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of music legend Elvis Presley, had four children.

When BeyoncĂ© and Jay Z announced back in January 2017 they were expecting twins, the Beyhive was abuzz and the Twitterverse was in straight pandemonium. It wasnât long until they welcomed Rumi and Sir into the world; and since then, everyoneâs twin radar has been pinging non-stop. We were curious: How many other celebs are the parents of twins? We set to searching â and we found so many more than we expected. Super high-profile couples like George and Amal Clooney, whose twins Ella and Alex keep them on their toes with their linguistic skills â and former couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony welcomed twins Max and Emme in February 2008. Hilary Swank and Philip Schneider are new to the twin family, welcoming their boy and girl twins in April 2023! Related story Michelle Williams, Jennifer Hudson, & More Celebrity Parents of Only Children Also in the parents-of-twins club: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, Julia Roberts and Danny Moder, and so. many. more. And while these celebs, of course, all love their kids to pieces, theyâve gotten candid about the challenges of being pregnant with twins and raising twins over the years too. âCarrying twins was really uncomfortable because you lay on one side and you feel thereâs a baby, and you lay on the other side and you feel thereâs a baby,â Jennifer Lopez told Parade in 2010. And Modern Family star Julie Bowen vented about the sibling rivalry that can arise in twins: âTheyâre also siblings who want to be together, but they compete,â she told The Huffington Post in 2014. âTheyâre going to become their own people because Iâm going to talk to them and Iâm going to interact with them, not because I necessarily drove one of them to pottery and one of them to karate.â Folks, weâve just grazed the surface. Here are 80 celeb couples with a beautiful, precious set of twins. A version of this article was originally published in June 2017.

And I learned that from my daughter, who is 22 and such a feminist and empowered. She wants to be a singer-songwriter, so sheâs going to do it all herself. Sheâs producing the whole thing.
