#and pretentious as fick

[missfine]

I'm also beyond done with people who constantly get smug and tell others how to do fandom. You're not actually better than others. You're just acting like a cunt.

[excessive-moisture]

Where are these “fanned ficks” you’ve mentioned before

Like allll over the place, here's just a few: The Snowstorm (drabble; rivulet & looks to the moon) In which The Artificer and The Hunter meet (oneshot) Her Ascendance + The Hug (longfic & a related oneshot; lttm centric) Random Walk (angsty pretentious longfic. monk & survivor)

I don't really share these that much because my own view of rain world and its characters and lore shifts at the speed of light. The pronouns as well as implied relations between characters are super inconsistent between my works

Chapter 27 god of hands part3

—---------------------------------------------------------------

*Apollo smiled and slammed his fists together and kissed the Gauntlets*

*a bright light soon shone so brightly that no god could look at it. As even the mortals were effected.*

Kaito:*hisses as he backs into the shadows.*

Tsugu:*yelps as she sets on fire but gets away and puts herself out.*

Derail:ARGH! GODS ABOVE! *covering eyes with hand.*

Heimdall:MY EYES! TOO BRIGHT! TOO BRIGHT!

*when the light died out Apollo's shadow soon moved as out came a ginormous mech statue of a goddess that appeared behind the god.*

Apollo:shall we continue?

Garou:huh. I've seen bigger. Come on then!

*Apollo held his hand up as Artemis made a bunch of light threads soon became a large shining bow bigger then either fighter.*

Apollo:this is Phobos Apollo's ultimate technique!☆

Garou:really now? Go on! SHOOT!

*an arrow of pure sunlight and fire shot through the air faster then light and completely invisible went through the air and burned through garou leaving a hole in his waist as the arrow went into the crowd almost hitting of all people Neptune*

Mars:AUNT! YOUR EAR!

Neptune:..what..what hit me? *sees the hole* Apollo's arrow did this?

*Garou staggered and fell over head first then shot up*

Garou:ow…shit. That hurt a bit. *looks up* not bad man. Looks like I misjudged you.

*Apollo laughed and shot out several arrows.*

Geirölul:FUCK! Garou! I'll become the claws again hold out!

*as the arrows flew garou got into a defensive stance taking several arrows to the legs arms and in his jaw as he wobbled he noticed the arrows burned his healing away and even his fire resistant self was giving way.*

Apollo:you fought well my foe but I must put you down now I shall put you out of your misery.

*the last arrow shot towards the hero and so Garou whacked it away at high speed right by the nymphs that did nothing but mocked him and the other mortals. He swears they called even Mai the woman who made Saturn kneel a weak ugly woman.*

Garou:do you know how pretentious you sound? Put me out of my misery? Do you know who you're talking to? ITS ME DAMNIT! I DONT FICKING CARE! I WORKED TO GET WHERE I AM! I FOUGHT THE MONSTERS! I KILLED EVIL! I! AM! GAROU! A WARRIOR! A FIGHTER! A MONSTER! TREAT ME THE WAY I DESERVE DAMN IT!

*Garou had more arrows shot at him as he Deflected every single one in different directions flying across the crowd almost hitting godkiller mortal gods demigods monster and demons alike.*

Apollo:*laughs* I see I think I might hate you! But I must admit your skills are beautiful.

Garou:you're sounding like a man now.

Apollo;hehe tell me why do you fight? For revenge? Vengeance?

Garou:good? Evil? I reject both! I'm not a hero or a villain! I'm a monster who fights for underdogs everywhere! Human Monster esper it doesn't matter! I'll fight for them!

*Apollo smiles and charges a arrow shot*

Apollo:Let's end this.

*the shot flew as Garou swung his own hand causing the arrow to rip through Apollos arm and the Artemis machine*

Apollo:! Oh! You didn't see the arrow! This must be instinct. I must say you're so thorough! I love it!

*he has the machine extends its arms and making a large bowstring to which Apollo aimed with his working hand as he backed into the string making it out like he'd be an arrow his strongest arrow his all or done move*

Apollo:it's so tense. But I thank you Garou. Geirölul. I've burned my soul ablaze to ashes and from the ashes we've become fully more beautiful! I thank you!

Garou:hehehe just know. You and I will never stop growing and advancing. Who'll take the steps? Who'll advance?

*Geirölul then turned into a large bladded gauntlet with spikes blades and a vortex like design that looked like an all life ending tidal wave of water to cut all that stood infront of it.*

*both then charged*

APOLLO'S SILVER ARROW!

GAROU'S SMASHING TIDAL WAVE CRUSHING!

WHO WILL WAVER?

THE HUMAN MONSTER?

OR THE BEAUTIFUL GOD?

*The duo soon crashed with such force Hiemdall flew into a wall face first and the ground shook Blood came from both sides gasps and yells were heard.*

*both men stood. Garou was on his knees with Apollo's hand turned Arrowhead in his gut but Apollo had Garou's crushing fist in his torso which had been torn up by the attack.*

*both were very injured as Garou looked over.*

Garou:not..bad..I wish I had more energy…wed…get..a..last..wind…

Apollo:such…beautiful souls…I'm glad..so perfect…you fought so well..such valor…I'm glad your souls are truly beautiful. I'm delighted the last thing I saw was you beauties..I'd love to spend more time with you…

*and so Apollos died with a smile on his face and happy tears in his eyes as the human monster fell on his back looking right into the sun as Apollo's soul broke apart and flew right into the star.*

Geirölul:..such a weird shitty god.

Garou:I I think I miss him already…

Both of them:godspeed you magnificent bastard.

*Every nymph cried out for lord Apollo as many if them wanted Garou to die or to suffer for taking their Lord Apollo as the Greek gods stood in admiration of Apollo even Ares the one god who couldn't stand him.*

*and thus the legend of Apollo ended on this day.*

ROUND 8 OVER!

WINNER:GAROU

GODS:2

MORTALS:6

FIGHT TIME:9 MINUTES 2 SECONDS

I judge you based on your alignment.

Pro Paper + Pro Painper : yes, yes you’re very funny dear but please seek a therapist. if you already have a therapist; get another one.

Pro Paper + Anti Painper: You have anger issues you haven’t faced yet. Paper is probably a cc. or you’re pretentious and you need to enjoy stories more.

Pro Paper + Neutral Painper: You have no significant attachment to paper, but you know what test tube is doing is wrong. You probably don’t get into the discourse much. You’re just enjoying the story. You probably have a life.

Centrist + Pro Painper: you’re just a test tube apologist but hidden. You just don’t like the stigma being a test tube apologist gives you. or you just don’t like paper too much.

Centrist + anti painper: You think pro paper people are a little too passionate in hating test tube and test tube apologists. You like paper and want him to get better, but You don’t hate test tube bc you know people can be complex. You’re entirely too pretentious though.

Centrist + Neutral Painper: You’re not even in the discourse. you do not care. You probably don’t care for either paper or test tube. You’re just here for the ride.

Test tube apologist + Pro painper: You are either so fucking funny or so fucking annoying. no in between. If you’re a test tube kinnie and are unironically a tt apologist+ pro painper, please take a shower.

Test Tube apologist + Anti Painper: you are not paying attention to the story at all. you are here for the pretty pictures. You think test tube is the prettiest. You’re chill.

Test Tube apologist + Neutral Painper: You like Test tube and you’re having so much fun. You really like drama /pos. You are cool. But you probably judge people who care so much about Paper.

all of this is /lh /hj

[letsperaltiago]

ok time to break my silence caused by the fact that i spent all day making this lol too many feels 

so.. palm springs thoughts !! and there are manyyyy so buckle up and feeel free to hit me up with either matching or contradicting thoughts or whateveer!! i would LOVE to nerd out about this movie with someone:’)

here comes thoughts and pictures!! 

we basically start off with a mr. samberg sex-scene okAYYYYY the mood is set. we love the view

nyles aka. mr. samberg is the most gorgeous man alive and it was a true pleasure to admire him for 90 minutes straight 

CURLS!!????! THEY ARE UNREAL. i shall dedicate an entire post to them

Cristin Milioti is perfect for her role. her acting? *chef’s kiss* I love that she’s not the stereotypical female rom-com lead.

Her chemistry with Andy? Gosh.. Can’t believe Nyles x Sarah is my new main movie-ship!! They play off of each other SO. WELL. Their characters are equally stone cold and bitter, but then again not really, and they both portray it so well!!

“You don’t ned a leg up.” *moans* “Hold my leg up!” i SCREAMED

“Don’t you kiss me.” “Don’t you tell me what to do.” hoW DARE THEY!

Ok ur basically on love already stop it

The fact that they were just gonna fuck on a blanket on top OF ROCKS?!

but then again in this movie’s already insane universe it’s prob pretty normal:)

The overall dark, existential humor?? This is what I live and breathe for on a daily basis. Basiaclly both main characters are a BIG MOOD

Nyles not giving a shit vs. Sarah severely freaking out in the beginning is an iconic dynamic

“I am the antichrist” and then the rock falling? For a hot sec I literally thought the movie was gonna take a turn with Nyles being some magical/scientific creature that’d created the timeloop or something idkkk ahhha

Nyles in the suit... ridiculous(ly hot)

The torture methods Roy uses on Nyles and the fact that he’s not mentally scarred?? How?? 

On that note I love that Nyles and Sarah keep their memories even if the day starts over. Would’ve been a completely different concept if they had to “meet each other for the first time” every day and it wouldn’t’ve allowed their relationship arc to evolve as it did 

Darla is the fucking shit 

Nyles in the baseball cap, amirite?

THE BARTENDER TALKING ABOUT HITTING A GUY WITH THE CAR SHE’S CURRENTLY GIVING NYLES A HANDJOB IN IS COMEDIC GOLD 

“You fucked Jerry Schlieffen?” “Well he fucked me.” Yes SIR. Andy Samberg’s characters are all bottoms and we’re here for it

Sarah’s tongue click and “nice try” when Nyles asks her about her sex life?? 

IDK WHY BUT SO GOD

Randy is hella annoying. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

THIS ENTIRE SCENE:

the fact that they both start waking up smiling because now at least they have each other 🥺😭🤯

uhm i love a good ship that’s like... best friends to lovers and the montage of them basically becoming besties killed me 

this outfit Y E S: 

sarah falling off the car and nyles laughing it off is relationship goals

the crashing plane I LOL’ED

okay so... big moment... the DANCING AND MATCHING OUTFITS? THEY ARE MY DREAM TEAM. Also how excited they are running away from the bar 🥺

IM POSITIVE THIS IS THE MOMENT NYLES KNOWS! LIKE HE DOESN’T ADMIT IT TO HIMSELF COMPLETELY BUT HE KNOWS 

the bomb in the cake and french pirate-skit? so fucking random but i lovee it because it’s so them

*DRUM ROLL* PERHAPS MY FAVORITE MOMENT IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE: 

STORYLINE WISE AND VISUALLY A++++

the deep talks by the fire were SO well written. they were actually deep and genuine, allowing the characters to grow and opening up to us as viewers but also remained fun and witty

sarah trying to get nyles to admit he cares for her and him joking it off??? the flirtinggg

really wish we’d gotten to know more about what nyles meant with “it drifts away: just like they all do.” because it really seemed to trigger something within him. Like WHO “They”???

the dinosaurs lmao no comment but at least they got a cute cuddly moment

from the very first millisecond inside the tent you can CLEARLY tell Sarah is just dying to do something about them!!!

 the disbelief on nyles’ face when sarah says “lets just get it over with” because she’d clearly stated he didn’t want to and even though he obviously did he’s respected it and not done anything further about it oh babey

we love some good making out:’))) 

NYLES HALTING TO TAKE IN THE MOMENT EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO SCREAM INTO THE VOID 

i will die for a post-sexy timez cuddle and how sarah is trying to staying awake to be besides him is just *explosion* 

this has to be *the moment* she realises 

and they’re both sooooo fucking happy when they wake up after damn love me like that pls

THE GROOM BOOO FUCK OFF CAN’T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO REMEMBER HIS NAME CHEATING SCUM 

THIS FACE:

Baby is trying so hard and is so cute and nervous about it. SARAH LISTEN TO HIM HE LOVES YOU.

HE FELT GOOD WAKING UP BECAUSE OF YOUUUU, GIRL. DO NOT CALL IT “FUN”, SARAH 

“Going to bed maybe just got a little better” 😭😭😭😭

The entire cop scene is just pure insanity, very Lonely Island and I’m here for it even though I just want Sarah to rEALLY LISTEN TO WHAT NYLES IS TRYING TO SAY 

“Pain is real” oh babey that means SO MANY THINGS 🥺💔

“I followed you into that cave because I liked you!” like jake would say: don’t love how we got here but we’re going where i want

“pretentious sad boy” me

not shocked that they’ve hooked up before because c h e m i s t r y but don’t like how it got out :)))

why is nyles’ one sleeve shirt rolled up? im triggered

drinking pure vodka? oh babey its gonna be okay 

WE LOVE A SMART BOI WHO RECOGNIZES HIS GIRL’S PERFUME 

Sarah’s parents singing:)) i would cry too, nyles

"I love her.” “I see... That’s interesting” lmao savage

I actually really love Roy’s character. It turns out to be very humble actually and he has some insightful and lowkey poetic that lines i love. Besides that he’s hilarious. 

SO the whole time i was wondering how they’d get out of the whole “same day forever”-thing, if they were to. and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they had such a logical way out of it: science. Not anything cheesy like “a true love’s kiss” or “you learned your lesson”. Pure logic and Sarah’s hard work to get there. Huge fan of this. 

I will never get over how good Nyles looks waking up and Sarah is xtra pretty in that scene:’) 

Nyles just wants to stay in a loop forever because it means for sure that he gets to stay with Sarah forever and I’m lowkey into it but also like lowkey LISTEN TO HER AND GO WITH HER PLAN, NYLES

“I wanna stay with you” *sniffles*

“I love you. How about that?” PRETTY FUCKING GOOD 

I love Nyles’ character development. He started off so nonchalant and cold, closed off and by this point he’s the softest, smiliest in love fool I’ve ever seen and Andy does it so good. SAMBERG HEART EYES!!

“Nothing is real in here” YES SARAH UR LOVE IS

I’m taking Sarah’s asking Nyles to believe in her and leave with her as her first “I love you” because it’s very clear that she wants to leave with him rather than without. 

just- this entire scene i ugh <3 <3 <3 <3

BREAKING. UP. WITH. MISTY ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

glass of wine filled to the brim? sarah’s my type of gal

the speech was really beautiful and sweet without being too cheesy and kudos to cristin for really delivering it like a pro! especially her “abe, don’t fuck this up” like yes girl kill him, chop him to pieces with your eyes!!! also camila is such really pretty bride

nyles looks like a cockatoo here :

nyles taking the shot and smashing the glass into the ground got me 🤭😵😏🥵

“I’m your son” I SCREAM

GIVE THE MAN A WHITE HORSE DAMNIT

Gotta admit Sarah looks like a bomb (lol nu pun intended) ass super hero in her bridesmaid dress and C4-gettup 

The sentence ending up being total grammatical gibberish but Nyles trying so. damn. hard is the sweetest thing ever and should and will go down in rom-com history. It’s super romantic but also well-balanced by humor and I just.. so good. This is the kind of characters and relationships I love and wanna write myself 

“you’re my favorite person that i’ve ever met” 🥺🥺🥺

“i’d rather die with you than live in this world without you” WHY AM I SO SINGLE SOMEONE LOVEE ME LIKE THIS 

okay so idk but “what if we get sick of each other?” “we’re already sick of each other. it’s the best.” is so so so soft, the way nyles says it like it doesn’t matter and is honestly another key moment for me: they’ve experienced basically everything imaginable during their time in the box/loop. they’ve liked, disliked, loved, hated each other and still: he loves her. the fact that nyles knows no matter what happens it won’t stop that because it’s them?? ouch my heart. 

this chaotic mess of a pairing?MESSY BOMB BRIDESMAID AND CURLY-HAIR HAWAII SHIRT-BOI!! MY OTp

Them dissing Nyles’ mom on their way into potential death? that’s love, baby 

the fUCKING KISSSSSSS MANNNNNNNNNN!!!! SO ICONIC AND THE EXPLOSION IN THE BACKGROUND AND JUST WE DESERVE THIS THEY DESERVE THIS EVERYONE DESERVES THISSSS!!! 

NEVER OVEER THIS EVER FOREVER NEVER

Ok so I was SURE that when it faded to black that it was done and I grew super ficking frustrated because it would leave us with this “the ending is up to whatever you chose”-kinda thing kinda a la Celeste and Jesse where it just feels unresolved and I WASN’T OKAY WITH THAT. So I’m so happy we got to know that it worked and the bebes will live happuilly ever after with Nyles’ shaggy dog:’) 

Their hands on each other’s knee >>>>>

all in all 100000/10

[rosalesbeausderholle]

Thoughts on languages you speak, fun things and pet peeves about them

ENGLISH:

I hate those posts where native English speakers are like *someone talks about a weird fact of the language* “omg english is SO HARD AND WEIRD, i pity anyone learning it as a second language”. Like that’s very... self centered lol, as if other languages don’t have weird quirky rules that are abstract and difficult (ALL DO) but you don’t see Spanish or Chinese speakers going “OMG MY LANGUAGE IS THE HARDEST TO LEARN” on every post about languages.

The truth is that English is not that hard to learn unless you’re a person that’s bad with foreign languages in general but if you’ve got talent with languages and are able to apply yourself English is probably one the easiest languages there is.

I know this makes me sound really really pretentious lol but it’s just true. English verbs? Piece of cake. English grammar? Once you get the hang of some basic rules you’re all set. English vocabulary? It’s EVERYWHERE there’s so so SO MUCH material written in English that just exposing yourself to it makes the vocabulary so incredibly easy to learn. Not to mention how many every day items we already talk about in English. Hardware, software, smartphone, app... etc. Probably the worst part of it is pronunciation, but it’s doable.

English as a language is a mess because it doesn’t have a linguistic organization setting its grammar rules like other languages have and also despite being a germanic language it’s very latin-influenced hence the weird differences in vocabulary and pronunciation. But those circumstances don’t make English hard, in fact they sometimes work together to make it easier!! Like because of romance language influence English lost the declensions it used to have that German still has, so now English-learners don’t have to worry about that! And yet despite that influence making it lose its declensions it didn’t make it gain very complicated verb tenses that are common in romance languages for example.

Like, I know a lot of native English speakers only speak English and that people being bilingual seems very difficult to some of them because of how easy it is to have access to virtually everything in English, so from their perspective yeah, English as a second language is hard, but in reality it’s not. And it’s obnoxious to comment that it’s the hardest language ever on any post about language.

SPANISH:

Spanish is an ugly language lol. Very nice for literature and formal things but otherwise, it’s too charged and Too Much, always. In English or German you can put so many complements and adjectives before a word and make it flow easily, but in Spanish you always have to put prepositions in between and that combined with how harsh the pronunciation is just makes it as if you were trying to drive and keep hitting road bumps. French and Catalan have this problem too BUT they sound so much softer so everything sounds prettier and nicer. Spanish just looks and sounds ugly and awkward.

Also I feel like it’s really hard to make neologisms work in Spanish without sounding weird tbh, like when you’re inventing a particular term for a fantasy or sci-fi novel. That’s harder in Spanish while for example in English and German it’s so natural to do, in English you can legit turn anything into a verb, and German borrows A LOT of English words and uses them casually so it’s also easier I think.

HOWEVER, we have the best insults, we win the insult and swear game, because we just don’t give a fuck about swearing (unless you’re old or in a formal setting i guess). While on erasmus me and some Spanish friends asked our German roommate about insults/swears in German and she was only able to give us “scheiße“ and “fick“ meanwhile we had a whole list. That’s great.

CATALAN&VALENCIAN (they’re the same, they’re dialects of each other, but if you don’t make the distinction people get mad so...): Absolutely beautiful language, I hate that everything around it is so politically charged and that simply appreciating it and promoting it has so many implications for who/what you support. This is the language that feels most like home to me, because well, it IS home. Spanish was on the tv and at school, Valencian is my mom singing to me to sleep as a baby or my dad telling me about fun anecdotes of his childhood and my grandpa making the exact same joke every single time. It also has an absolutely A+ insult game!

Problem is that since the variants of the language (north and south and east and west) are so separated and because it’s been repressed as a language a lot during the centuries that means there’s a lot of separation between local variants so I imagine learning it is not fun, because several verb tenses have two correct ways of being written & pronounced. And a lot of vocabulary has several words for the same thing and you don’t know which one is correct (all of them, just in different places). I can’t keep the differences between American and British English straight in my own head so in this case it would be a nightmare.

Ok those are the languages I speak, now the ones I’m learning.

FRENCH: It’s probably because of its similarities to Spanish and Catalan that it’s so easy for me, but it surprises me that, even though I haven’t been actively learning it for a few years know (I did some years in high school and intend to pick it back up in the future) I still remember a lot of it? I’m able to read and understand most written French (less so spoken) and I can speak kinda well in a casual setting? (not write obvs). Like in Brussels, I got along just fine with my limited French that I hadn’t touched in literal years. Makes me think that once I have the time to get into it again it’ll be very easy :D

GERMAN: The absolute bane of my existence, i hate it, German vocabulary was created by the devil himself, and they keep making new words by mashing them up together!! Like, stop, wait until people learn them first??? Also separable verbs make me cry every time, and so does its sentence structure. The only reason I keep at it is honestly spite. I will master this language no matter how many times I have to sell my soul to do it. I should have chosen French as my second language to study during my degree but I chose German because I didn’t want to take basic level French classes again (waste of time since I had already done that in high school) and now I’m paying for my sins.

Fun fact: “sex“ in German is “Geschlechtsverkehr“ which literally means something like “the transportation of gender“ (native speakers correct me if I’m wrong) but they know that word is embarrassing and unsexy af so they just use “Sex“. Even Germans dislike German words.

Funnily enough the pronunciation which is what many people complain about because it sounds “ugly“ (not really) has been the least of my problems.

And this is getting long enough (sorry I can speak about languages for hours oops) so I’ll just finish by saying that I started learning Chinese this year and obviously it’s very diffcult because you have to learn characters but I was also very pleasantly surprise at how easy the grammar and verbs have been so far.

Thank you for this question. I know it took a long time to answer because I knew I was going to go on for a looooong time about this, but I love talking about languages so much so I really appreciate this!! :D

Review: "The Spectra Hoax" by William Jay Smith

Review: “The Spectra Hoax” by William Jay Smith

In ten days in 1916, two brash young poets – Witte Bynner and Arthur Davison Ficke– produced a volume of poetry parodying the Imagists. Writing as Emanuel Morgan and Anne Knish, and claiming to represent a whole new school, the Spectrics, their manuscript of Morgan’s formal poetry and Knish’s free verse, together with the blathery and pretentious preface, was unexpectedly accepted by a serious…

Hirundo maleficis evoltat.

It means “the swallow flees from the evil”, which makes no sense.

But actually, it’s a German (slightly dialectal) pun, to be read as

Hier und do mal e Fick is e Wohltat

which translates to

Here and there, an occasional fuck is beneficial.

Sju dagar i Boulder

Colorado var vackert och folk var trevliga, men vi var panka och kunde inte se skiten. Oss emellan hade vi 60 dollar, pengar vi skulle använda för att tanka bilen. Vi var ju trots allt tvungna att kunna transportera oss. Till skillnad från mig hade du pengar ”på väg in” - gud vet från vart men det skulle ta några dagar.

Därför kändes det härligt att få arbete. Ingen av oss var väl direkt några kroppsarbetare, men att riva husinredning var ett lätt jobb. Det klarade till och med vi. Det skulle bara ta två dagar, men vi blev kvar veckan ut hos Joshua och hans familj. Dels för att det tog längre tid än beräknat, dels för att Joshua inte ville låta oss åka vidare. Sedan hans bror dött för två somrar sedan hade han mest hållit sig för sig själv. Han tyckte väl det var skönt att prata av sig.

På kvällarna bar vi ut möblerna från vardagsrummet på gräsmattan och grillade. Hans döttrar lekte, bråkade, snörvlade snor, grät och skrattade nätterna i ända. De verkade inte ha bestämda regler för när de skulle gå och lägga sig, men det verkade funkade för dem.

– How come we’re only drinking Bud Lights all the time? sa jag efter några kvällar. – ’Cause that’s what I’m serving you ungrateful bastard, sa Joshua halvt skämtsamt, halvt allvarligt. Plus I hate that pretentious IPA-shit the hipsters in Denver drink.

Hans fru Melanie drack ingenting. Eller jo, iste - massvis. Och spelade ukulele och sjöng. Joshua sa ofta att hon var hans Joan Baez och det tyckte jag var fint. Hon bar alltid lång klänning med traditionella mönster, mest blommigt.

Joshua hade t-shirt, inte alltid vit men oftast, och bar keps vars skärm var hårt hårt vinklad likt ett upp och nervänt u.

Vid veckans slut fick vi 100 dollar innan vi for vidare. Melanie tog en Polaroidbild på oss och barnen.

– This will sit nice on the refrigerator!
