If you wanna be added to the list lemme know

_______ Olivia hadn’t been feeling her best lately. A mix of stress, fatigue, and the change in weather seemed to weigh her down more than usual. Tyler had noticed. He always noticed when she wasn’t feeling herself and this time he was determined to lift her spirits. He planned a surprise for her hoping it would help just a little something simple yet thoughtful.

Autumn had finally arrived and he was excited to put his plan into motion, one afternoon he pulled up outside Olivia’s apartment. A grin on his face and a basket in hand. Giving the horn a honk he got out to open her door. Olivia raised an eyebrow as she stepped outside, bundled in a cozy sweater her head tilted slightly.

“Where are we going?”

She asked him her voice soft but curious as she slipped into her seat buckling up. Tyler leaned over placing a kiss to her cheek.

“You’ll see.”

They drove a little ways out of town, the golden hues of autumn trees passing by in a blur of reds, oranges, and yellows. The fresh air had already started to make Olivia feel lighter, and being around Tyler was a huge help too. Finally, they pulled up to a secluded park by a small lake, the water reflecting the colorful canopy of leaves surrounding it.

Tyler laid out a blanket beneath a large oak tree, its branches swaying gently in the breeze.

“I thought a picnic might cheer you up, something comforting and delicious.”

He said as he spreading out the food he’d packed her favorite sandwiches, pumpkin spice muffins, hot cider, and a thermos of soup that filled the air with warmth. Olivia smiled, her heart swelling with gratitude as her eyes took in all of the treats before looking up at her boyfriend.

“Ty this is so perfect thank you.”

As they settled down, the crisp air and vibrant scenery seemed to wash away her worries. They ate, talked, and laughed together simply enjoying each other’s company. This was what she needed even if she hadn’t realized it until now. Tyler kept sneaking her little smiles, the way he always did when he was watching out for her. For the first time in days, Olivia felt at peace as they finished the food. Laying together in the blanket her head resting on his chest.

“Do you ever seen anything in the clouds?”

“Sometimes but I don’t really spend too often looking.”

Tyler admitted as his hand rubbed soothingly along her back occasionally slipping under her sweater to feel her warm skin.

“I love watching the clouds and I’m happy that I’m getting to do this with you. Thank you babe for always knowing what I need.”

Leaning over he pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead as he held her just a little closer.

“I always got you my love, always.”

Harvest Dinner - Trevor Zegras + Friends

The golden hues of the setting sun spilled across the sky, casting a warm autumn glow over the farmhouse-style home where Trevor Zegras and his fiancée had planned the perfect harvest-themed dinner. The air was crisp, and the smell of roasted vegetables, spiced cider, and freshly baked bread wafted through the house. The large wooden dining table in the backyard was decorated with pumpkins, candles, and scattered leaves—everything about the evening screamed fall.

Trevor stood outside teasing Jack Hughes, who was trying—and failing—to carve a mini pumpkin with a butter knife. Jack’s girlfriend, sitting beside him, laughed at his futile efforts. “Jack, it’s a centerpiece, not a hockey puck!”

Nearby, Cole Caufield and his older brother Brock were debating the best football teams of the season. “I’m telling you, Michigan’s defense is rock-solid this year,” Brock insisted, while Cole playfully nudged him.

Jamie Drysdale and his older brother Charlie were huddled together with Alex Turcotte and Patrick Moynihan, brainstorming pranks to pull on Jack and Trevor later, though they kept their plans hushed. They exchanged quick glances, as if they already had a scheme brewing.

Inside the house, Trevor’s fiancée and his younger siblings, Ava and Griffin, were finishing up the last of the sides—mashed sweet potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, and a pear-and-goat-cheese salad. Ava, with her apron on, was carefully placing warm rolls in a basket while Griffin hovered nearby, sneaking bites of everything before it hit the table.

As everyone gathered around, the golden light from the lanterns hanging above the table bathed them all in a soft glow. There was laughter, the sound of clinking glasses, and the occasional joke thrown at whoever was unlucky enough to be the topic at the moment.

Trevor finally sat down, sliding into the seat next to his fiancée, who smiled warmly at him. “Everything looks perfect,” he said, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. She smiled, grateful for the warmth of the evening and the company of their closest friends and family.

Jack, having given up on the pumpkin carving, raised his cider. “To good friends, good food, and surviving another day without one of Trevor’s pranks.”

Everyone laughed, and Cole, not one to miss out on teasing, added, “Yeah, and surviving whatever Charlie and Jamie have planned for later.”

The night continued with stories, laughter, and the warm feeling of fall wrapping around them like the thick blankets draped on the chairs. As the evening wore on and the last bites of pumpkin pie were eaten, Trevor looked around at the faces of his friends and family, and couldn’t help but feel grateful. It was one of those nights that made everything else fade away, leaving only the warmth of friendship, love, and the perfect fall night under a blanket of stars.

Well of bugs in recent memory... We met a scorpion girl named Lucy Locket who has Avas old bow and plastic knife. She said she had a friend, so we'll so whoever that is. Some time ago now, we also met many spiders including Little Miss Muffet and her pet Cupcake at Spider Bake Sales. Even for charity... Muffet was a bit over the top with the prices... 9999 G for a single Spider Cider. Did you ever dance with Migosp, Shay?

Mincemeat Kings' Crown

When I visit someone, I never come empty-handed. Whomever that someone is: a friend, family, a co-worker, an overseas landlady, a brief lover, an Airbnb host... I can bring flowers, Chocolates, or a small gift, a good bottle of wine, or home-brewed Cider or Liqueur, perhaps. But more often than not, it's cake. Cake makes people happy, doesn't it? Thus, as we are visiting my sister, Jules, in Dijon this weekend, and she's said she hadn't had a Kings’ Crown or Cake yet, I baked this beautiful Mincemeat Kings' Crown to bring her. A delicious way, we found, of toasting (with home-brewed Cider) to her new table, bench and chairs after spending an arvo assembling them!

Ingredients (makes 1 brioche):

4 cups strong white flour

1/3 cup caster sugar

4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast

2 teaspoons salt

4 large eggs

½ cup milk

1 cup unsalted butter, cut into small chunks

1/2 cup Ava’s Mincemeat 

a fève*

1 egg, lightly beaten

½ tablespoon milk

1/4 cup Honey Syrup 

1 tablespoon pearl sugar

The day before, combine strong white flour, caster sugar, yeast and salt (they shouldn’t touch at this stage) in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment. Turn on low speed until well-combined.

Turn on medium speed and add the eggs and milk, and mix 4 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough will be quite sticky at this stage. Gradually add butter, a few chunks at a time until fully incorporated. When all the butter is incorporated, increase speed to high and mix, 4 to 6 minutes, until dough is soft, shiny and slaps the sides of the bowl.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly to form a ball. Pop the dough ball in a lightly oiled large bowl and cover with cling film. Let rise at room temperature for an hour.

Again, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly. Shape into a ball, and return dough to the lightly oiled bowl. Cover with cling film, and prove once more a couple of hours or until the dough has tripled in size. Place the bowl in the refrigerator overnight. The dough will continue proving, which will give the brioche a light and airy texture.

In the morning, remove the bowl from the refrigerator, and allow the dough to come back to room temperature, for 1 hour.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.

Remove cling film and turn dough out on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into three equal portions. Roll two of the portions into large rectangles onto a lightly floured surface.

Spread half of the Mincemeat onto the first dough rectangle, leaving at least an inch on the outward edge, and roll it tightly like you would a Swiss roll, seal the seam, and gently roll into a long “sausage”. Set aside.

Spread remaining Mincemeat onto the second dough rectangle, leaving at least an inch on the outward edge. Again, roll gently but tightly.

Roll the plain portion into a long “sausage” the same length as the others. Hide the fève* in it!

Place them all vertically on the work surface, pinching the end of all of them firmly together. Plait, and shape into a crown. Place on prepared baking tray. Leave to prove for 30 minutes to one hour in a warm, draught-free room.

Whisk the egg and milk together.

Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F. Once the brioche has risen, brush thoroughly with egg wash. Bake at 190°C/375°F  for 35 minutes, until a nice golden brown colour.

Meanwhile, heat Honey Syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.

Remove Mincemeat Kings’ Crown from the oven, and immediately brush all over with the Honey Syrup, to glaze. Sprinkle generously with pearl sugar. Transfer to serving plate and let cool for a bit before serving and finding out who’ll be crowned Queen or King! Serve with chilled Cider (Brut or Doux).

*A fève is a tiny porcelain figurine traditionally hidden in Epiphany Galette des Rois or Kings’ Brioche in France. Whoever finds it in their slice is Queen or King for the day. Before it was a figurine, a dried fava bean (”fève”, in French) used to be hidden, hence the name.

Since today is appreciation day, I obviously had to send something in ^^ This is going to be really long because I have a lot to ramble about -w-

Let's start with the obvious. Cardboard Castle. I FUCKING LOVE IT!!! I feel so lucky to have been graced with an over 100k-long slow burn with my favorite pair. You had my ass checking the tag every day to see if it had gotten an update. Every chapter is amazing, but 4 and 5 have to be my favorite. Something about them is just… idk. Maybe it's because I absolutely love carnivals and go to them every chance I get, and the way you described them it just made me feel like I was reliving them. Plus the corn maze scene?? Dawg you had me feeling like Sebastian thinking “Just kiss him!!” The fact that it’s not really a date, but totally is. Just reading it makes me feel so festive, no matter the time of year. Thinking about it now I have the urge to make some apple cider. With all the inspiration I get from it: here’s a little mood board based on it!

As for chapter 5, I really just enjoyed the dialogue at the end. The vibes are also immaculate. I can enjoy a good angsty fic like the next guy, but David and Max just bonding with each other and being mundane makes me feel so soft. The dialogue really felt like two people just going over old memories. In your author’s note, you mentioned it would be a boring chapter, but I feel like it was anything but boring. Whenever I want to read something fluffy, I always go back to that chapter. Plus what Max did to Charly was hilarious. I don’t have as much to say about this one as I did chapter 4, but nonetheless, I love it!! To be honest, it was after reading chapter 5 that I really got into writing and decided to upload my work/become more active in the maxvid community as a whole.

And onto Heart Hallow ;D I don’t usually find myself getting into OC projects, but when webtoons recommended it to me, I was like “I’ll give it a go” AND I’M GLAD I DID BECAUSE AJDGWMEOWHFE. I adore the characters, the drawings (particularly the coloring you do for each panel!), and the little stories they go through each chapter. I can tell so much love went into it from just seeing how you talk about it when asked. Kara is up there as one of my favs (yes because she’s Aroace but it has a good personality!! I just like seeing Aroace characters >w>) but Lewis and Zeke are my top too. On several of my assignments, I have Z + L scribbled on them surrounded by hearts. It has driven my friends crazy trying to figure out who they are LMAO.

And just like I do with all my favorite media, I had to insert my OC in there somewhere :3 So, Spencer! I had a lot of fun filling out her card and doing the little edit. She managed to sneak her way into employment at HH (I’m not creative, please just accept this.) and is one of the housekeepers. So two things about her. One, she’s an artist. She does a lot of landscapes/portraits. And two, she’s super messy. Which is why she has a bunch of paint all over her! She’s good at getting it out though.

Anyways, the reason that she has paint all over her is that she noticed a lot of the walls at the hotel needed to be touched up, and since she’s really good with matching colors (make-up artist), she used what paint the hotel did have to create the color needed to re-paint the walls. Then she heard about the old murals that used to be on the walls (probably from Lewis) and was like, “Wait a second. I can paint landscapes. I should do that!” So she got (dubious) permission from Mr. Wright and got to painting! She does it whenever she has time. Mr. Wright seems like he wouldn’t care, cause free art. So yeah. She does a lot of painting so constantly dirty, much to Lewis’s annoyance. And every holiday she gives all her co-workers paintings because it's cheap and easy.

And some doodles :> Not the greatest artist but I like to think I’m funny.

She suffers from having bad taste in men disease :( Her two friends, Ava and Mia run a bakery and anytime they have leftovers they give them to her. If she has anything left from that she’ll take in with her to share the next day. She is also super tall (6’5) because it's funny to insert her into a show/movie/comic and have her be the tallest person there. I also had another meme in mind but I don’t think I’ll finish it in time so be prepared for a random meme in your DMs one day.

And that’s it. Sorry it’s so long, I just want to make sure I say everything on my mind!! You’re super cool and I love your stuff and keep up the good work :3 Have a great day!!! (again your art is really nice to look at ok bye)

hi omg!! this is the most pleasant thing to open my phone up to and I just have to thank you for taking the time to write all this to me! 🫶

I'm beyond elated you've loved cardboard castles as much as me. it's my baby, and chapters 4&5 are my favorites too! I LOVE the moodboard!! omg!! srsly you did such an amazing job with it!

and Spencer is adorable !! I had a feeling you might have been coming up with an OC 👀 she'd fit right in with the cast. love how tall she is... the fact that she's taller than lewis is just 🤌and we're definitely missing a creative personality type at Heart Hollow! (for now. a new character gets released soon towards the end of book 1. she's an eccentric artsy kinda woman herself!)

your art is so cute, I love your style!! and the fact you filled out an employee sheet for spencer makes me so happy 🫶

have a lovely day and I hope that you'll send some more stuff my way! my asks are always open :-)

(btw ur ask totally made my day!!!!)

[starlightwayfinder]

I KNOW I've seen you post about Halloween before, haha, so: what do you think some Halloween traditions would be for the KH crew? (For any of them!)

Yes!!! I am, admittedly, the person who starts celebrating Halloween super early. (You could argue that I just celebrate all year long, haha.)

Ooh okay. Right off the bat I know King Mickey and the Disney Castle gang go all out!

Disney Town is the place to be on Halloween. (Halloween Town is good too, but they get a little hectic on their big day!) The Disney Town folks put on a big festival for the occasion, with lots of sweets, games to play, and a costume contest on the stage. And of course there’s decorations everywhere—so don’t be surprised to see Mickey outside ordering brooms to carry pumpkins around! 

Everyone there just gets really excited for Halloween… except for Donald. He’s always grumpy because Huey, Louie, and Dewey play tricks on him all night. 

Daybreak Town is another world that had lots of fun on Halloween. When the Foretellers were in charge, they let their Unions have the day off. All of the wielders wore costumes and went looking for candy, and Ava and Gula could dress up to blend in with the keykids and have a day off too! The thrill-seeking parties would dare each other to go to scary places (like the forest in Dwarf Woodlands, or Beast’s Castle.) Oh, and the Moogle tried to sell kids candy, but after getting “tricked” too many times, they gave up and gave it away for free.

In Scala, it’s not as much of a big deal, but there are still some fun Autumn activities. It gets pretty cold, so the students who are out are usually bundled up with fluffy scarves and trying their best not to spill a warm drink on their way to class. There are some great spots to study and watch the leaves fall—one shop sells the best apple cider. Eraqus (of course) is the most interested in Halloween fun, so on the night of he gets everyone together for ghost stories and carving pumpkins.

We Didn’t Start The Fire (SDV Superhero AU)

Ch. 32/32 — And After All This Time, I’m Still Into You T+ | Sebastian/Female Farmer, Abigail/Leah

It’s the sixteenth day of fall, and the Stardew Valley Fair is in full swing. The fall air is crisp and cool, but the sun is warm, and the sweet smell of kettle corn is on the breeze. Lights are strung across the trees. Brightly-colored booths line the streets: fortune tellers, carnival games, food vendors selling candy apples and funnel cakes… Mayor Lewis’ truck, parked safe and sound in its permanent spot beside his mansion, has its tailgate down, and the trunk is filled with hay and pumpkins. Abigail and Sam are trying their hand at the slingshot game, while Leah stands by, cheering them on. Jas and Vincent laugh and shriek as they tumble across the cobblestones towards the animal pens, accompanied by a tired but happy-looking Shane. Ava sets down the pumpkin she’s carrying, then takes a moment to look over her grange display. Considering that a good portion of her crops have been burnt to a crisp, she thinks she’s managed to pull together a pretty decent collection. There are several glass bottles of homebrew apple cider, flavored with cinnamon and clove, shining reddish-gold in the autumn sun; large, bright-orange pumpkins, alongside a basket of miniature ones; a few dozen eggs… The only empty space is that one metal bucket, off to the side, which is for— “Flowers incoming!” She turns to see a truly massive bundle of sunflowers moving towards her, with a pair of skinny jeans poking out beneath. She laughs. “Yeah, yeah, I know, I look ridiculous.” “No, you don’t!” she insists as she steers him towards the display. Sebastian sets the sunflowers in the bucket gently, pausing to arrange them a bit. She decides to help, even though he’s doing a pretty good job, and if it’s actually just an excuse to touch his hands more, she doesn’t think he’ll mind, actually. The third time she “accidentally” reaches for one of the stems at the same time he does, he narrows his eyes at her, suspicious; the fifth time it happens, he huffs out a little laugh and interlaces their fingers, giving up on the flowers entirely. “You know, I thought you actually wanted me to help set things up, but now I’m beginning to think you might have ulterior motives.” “I don’t know what you mean,” she says coyly. “You’ve been very helpful. Couldn’t have pulled this together without you.”

Salem Hyde says "well, I hate to burst your bubble - but you're wrong!"

An exciting entry! After the day's work, Rabbit bookseller Espuma visited the Tent of Living Stories, where all the town of Roost gathers to share tales from beyond and to bare their souls. Espuma went in hopes of finding someone with information about the former owner of the book shop. During the event, a scream was heard from outside. When they all rushed to the Riverbank, the Cloaked Figure from Thistle Down was there rescuing a child who had been hypnotized into the water. Rex, a highly respected figure of Roost, got everyone to safety, and confirmed to Espuma that Cassiopeia was from Roost.

DAY ONE OF BUSK: SPENDING MONEY

Weather: 2, 9, 5 (Warm, light breeze in the morning, pollen. Light rain in the evening)

The events from last night were all anyone would talk about. The child told Rex what he'd assumed: The River called to him, he went for a swim, a dark figure grabbed him & began dragging him under, & the cloaked animal pulled him out of the water.

Knowing that Cassiopeia was from Roost, I began asking around. Unfortunately, the population of Roost-upon-the-River changed too frequently for most people to have remembered her. I'll have to ask Rex again the next time I see him.

I placed an order yesterday for a full restock, and I was unpacking and pricing books all morning. They were delivered by none other than Ava Bird, the Riverstrider I met in Thistle Down! I asked her what she'd been up to and she told me about some of her deliveries.

"By the way," she said, "A long time ago you asked me about a chipmunk named Aspen. I did meet them on this journey!"

"What? Where?" I asked. It had been so long since then, and so much had happened, but meeting Aspen and sharing a cider with them was my first warm memory on the River, and they held a special spot in my heart. "They live in Kiawake, a town in the middle course. We chatted a little, and they remember you! I didn't think to take a message, though, I'm sorry Espuma!" I was pleased to have news.

Later as I put books in shelves, a turtle came in with a large briefcase and a tall hat.

"Greetings, madam, I am Vinny the Man here with the deal of a lifetime."

"I'm not a woman, sir. How can I help you?"

"Sincerest apologies! I have here for you a complete china set, suitable for kings! In an establishment like this, wouldn't you want to lend an air of refinement and elegance?" We both looked around, our eyes settling on the painting of children playing soccer with a decapitated head. He stuttered through more of a pitch before I served him tea with my clearly old and sentimental teapot from my grandmother. Eventually he left in complete disgrace.

I finished putting up books as soon as a real customer came through the door. Finally! He began chattering to me, asking especially for spell books.

"Woulda been helpful before you got this curse on your shop, huh? Fat lot of good a spell book does you now."

I tried to ask what he meant, but he'd already moved on to another topic. Every so often, he'd mention something specific to me or the shop as if he knew more than he'd let on, and then the moment would pass just as quickly, and it was like it never happened. He bought his spell book and left, leaving me wondering what kinds of rumors and truths about me circulated in Roost.

Nikki came to see me later on. She looked out of sorts, her black shimmery feathers fluffed up like she'd been startled. She bumped into another customer and snapped at them. When she reached the desk to see me, her mood was obviously foul.

"The pollen is just everywhere. Why don't you close your windows on days like this? It makes your whole store a pile of powder. No one wants to hang out in a place like that."

I pulled out a face mask that I sometimes used when cleaning dust, and she grumbled before putting it on. She bemoaned random things for a while more before I asked what was wrong.

"I just... I thought about what you said, and I think I'm going to start seriously considering leaving Roost for good."

"Woah. Yea. That's huge. Where are you going to go?"

"I'm not sure. Somewhere in the middle course. I've always wanted to see what the River looks like in Brimming."

"Do you have any ideas for what you'd do there? Lifeguarding is probably taken in those towns."

"Lifeguarding was always temporary. I don't know... Maybe I'll try Riversifting to start and see where that takes me. Just to make some basic coins."

"It's a big decision... is it scary?"

"Yea... the scariest thing is that I'm going right into the heart of the danger our Roost families warn us about, and what if they're right? What if they're right and the River is too dangerous for me? I don't fear the River, but sometimes I wonder if I should."

"I definitely think you should," I said. "If you don't fear all the damage the River can do to you, then you won't actually respect it and be aware of everything that can happen to you out there. It's not to be paralyzed, but to keep yourself alert and safe." She seemed calmer after that and left.

Later a young vole came in, looking for YA. I asked if she wasn't a little too young for those, but she fell silent and didn't respond.

"That's alright!" I said, and led her to the shelf. She murmured a thanks and looked at me out of the side of her eye until I went away. I got to making a new window display. It had adventure books and ghost stories. This seems like the kind of town that would appreciate a quickened pulse and a bump in the night.

As I was turning to select the next book for the display, the vole girl appeared, silent and staring, holding her selections. I yelped, startled, and the whole display came tumbling down.

The vole girl was mortified and, apologizing profusely, spent an hour helping me put it back together and complete the display. Afterwards, she made her purchases and left in a rush, not so much as saying goodbye. I could tell it was pure embarrassment!

The warm breeze from the morning gave way to light rains, and the evening rode in on the backs of thin rain clouds.

Mr. Down visited once again, making his same manner of pronouncements. I didn't necessarily dislike Mr. Down, but I had a tolerance level that he often surpassed, and without his wife present he reached it too quickly. He explained to me, though, about the low educational expectations in Roost.

"We don't produce many scholars. Indeed, Mrs. Down and myself only became learned because a professor from Thistle Down came and taught us for a season when we were young. It instilled in us a passion for learning quite uncommon in Roost, much as it pains me to say!"

I found his explanation genuinely interesting, and I was pleased to sell him one of the books from the display.

I closed the shop and headed into town. I picked up some groceries (ginger, chilli berries, broth, stock, candles) (-105). I met Jelly and Zaz walking in town, and they gave me a quick tour of the different tents. The Hunted Tent called me attention, but it was getting late. Another day.

I picked up The Breeze in the Brambles too (-20), and I was pleased to add it to my collection.
