#because people (when they're not snobby rich assholes)

[tennessoui]

ok this is so self-indulgent that yall are gonna run me off my blog but

au where obi-wan hosts fancy wine&dinner parties, as he’s a renowned chef and retired sommelier (wine expert). the theme of this party is for everyone to bring a bottle of wine and a food that they think will pair well with the tasting notes in their chosen wine, and be prepared to explain their choices to the rest of the dinner-goers.

when anakin (invited by padmé, currently in grad school, easily the youngest and dirtiest person to have ever sat on obi-wan’s nice leather settee) shows up with a bottle of wine that still has the price tag on it ($13 for a “maker’s red mix”) and a bag of flaming hot cheetos, obi-wan knows they’re absolutely going to have hate sex about it

then anakin gets up for his turn to explain his choice and he bullshits so fantastically well, using all the words he just heard these upper class bougie snobs say and using them correctly, that obi-wan is genuinely actually impressed.

oh they’re still going to have hate sex, 100%, but now obi-wan respects the man enough to make him breakfast in the morning

(it’s eggs benedict florentine with house-made hollandaise sauce and freshly baked english muffins obi-wan got up early to bake, and halfway through poaching the final egg he looks over and anakin is leaning against his counter, eating granola by the handful out of the bag as he watches)

Villainous x reader that can dress up and imitate people perfectly

Part two of (same reader):

DR FLUG 🧪:

He was finally getting used to the chaotic bomb you were but one day, while eating in the kitchen he saw someone he didn't recognise walking around the manor.

Terrified his boss would punish him for letting a stranger get into the house, he quickly got up to either shot the stranger or just kick them out.

Imagine the surprise he got when he heard your voice when the stranger talked to him. Flug was found again completely speechless.

You explained that the main reason you always got away with identity theaf and changing names was because you had a talent on imitating others, not only in the physical form (you're a master of disguise 🥸) but also your seem to be able to fully imitate the tone of voice, the expressions used by someone and even they're little gestures.

You were the definition of a skin-walker but instead of using magic or other kind of spells, you used make up, prosthetics and wigs.

Flug didn't believed this at first but after taking your fake nose off and taking out your wig he started believing you.

Now he's a bit more weary of you even if he doesn't admit it. I mean, you can literally turn into whoever you want if you put enough effort so...

Yeah.

You're still on good terms though, he still appreciates you, he's just shocked (give him time)

Also the way you can imitate voices??? He's certainly usign that ability to hack machinery that's needs voice recognition.

This guy has so many questions. But as well sees so much potential in your disguises for his plans.

You have asked him to make you more realistic prosthetics so you can impersonate better people that have different body types.

He admires you're ability to imitate someone so flawlessly he thinks that your ability is great for a villain.

Flug likes you to accompany him when he is making newer and more precise prothesis for you, he thinks that way you can supervise his work and have more perfect customs.

He has seen you dressed as a man, as a women and as neither and you have nailed in every single one of them. (Pansexual crisis for this paper bag).

Now he understands how you can always escape so effortlessly whenever you commit a crime or how you dodge the authorities so well. You're a master of disguise.

In general you're just another big mystery that he will never fully understand but he will still try, and will never give up (though sometimes he is temper BC how similarly chaotic you seem to be to dementia)

DEMENCIA🦎:

If she already loved you before now she adores you.

She discovered your ability because you were in an infiltration mission so you disguised yourself as a rich young man.

To say she was caught off guard is an understatement.

Demencia watched the whole process and she is still absolutely impressed by how quickly and smoothly you are able to just be someone else.

Heck, you even changed your voice to a manly one!!!

You have offered to make it into a double mission and transform her into the trophy wife of your fake identity, you guys are now Richard and Pamela 🙈🙉🙊

She had so much fun pretending to be some snobby asshole just to later take out a metal bat from her hair and starting hitting the authorities to escape with the money you stole.

I think she loves to dress up and play pretend so you guys do that very often in your free time just for fun.

She weirdly plays along whenever you are "being someone else" for example.

You need to dress up as some old lady so you do the whole disguise and act and talk strictly as the old lady you "are". Well, even after the mission is done, as long as you still are behaving like the character and being in the disguise she treats you like the old woman you damn are!! 👵

Flug: you know she is still the same reader we know and not Enriqueta right?

Demencia: shut up nerd! How dare you disrespect Enriqueta!!!

Enriqueta (Reader): -clearly trying to annoy Flug- this youth is only going to worse

Demencia: damn right grandma.

Flug: absolutely gives up* 🙌

She so supportive of whoever you are at the moment.

Also she gets along better with some of your other identities than with others, she once fought you when you were acting as an old ass man (Julian) because he just wouldn't stop being an asshole. (She then apologised to you because after all you're the one recieving the physical punch as well ❤️‍🩹)

Idk man Demencia is so chaotic that nothing normal can be expected from her.

Has asked you to try and dress up as the boss for a while but you turned it down knowing it can only go downhill.

Black hat 🎩:

It's strangely supportive of your identities.

I mean, just as Demencia, if you are dressed as one of your characters, he will address you as them.

Like, for example if Enriqueta fucked it up on something, then he will be saying some nasty stuff about old people but if Richard is the one to do something wrong then he's being sent straight to the resort (and you of course)

Black hat: Enriqueta, your pay will be cut short due to your kidney operation

Enriqueta (reader): oh lord 🥺

A few moments later

Reader: hey, wait a minute, Enriqueta didn't have any kidney operation. She will be reclaiming the money

Black hat: she will need one if you don't stop spitting nonsense on her behalf. Oh, and tell Richard that he is getting slow with his work, it would be a shame to also cut his pay 😈

Reader: 🤐

He uses your talent to annoy you from time to time, even though the cut of pay is never to big or to long, since you always end up getting the same salary. He only does it to see you losing it.

And when you are yourself he tell you to control "the others" 🫨

All in all, he somehow respect your amazing ability of impersonating someone, in fact he has made you impersonate some heroes or some of their families just so he can have information about them. You are the perfect spy

And of course since every single one of your personalities has an specific ability or career, he benefits from that. Your like a whole bunch of people in only one.🪆

Has threatened you that, if somehow you ever managed to impersonate him even if only physically, he will make you regret having a skin 😶

It's not really that often when you impersonate someone or dress up as someone else mainly because it takes time to make it perfect, which is what he demand. Therefore he has sent dementia to kidnapped the subject of impersonification for you to study they're face, features and gestures.

Has once or twice kicked you out of the manor when you were dressed as someone else. He knew it was you, he always knows it's you but just to bother you or make your work harder he will do it.

He respects your identities as much as he respects any of his employees, which isn't much but hey, at least he doesn't necessarily discriminate against them :).

As you are very VERY attentive and always notice every single detail of things, he often ask you about trivial things that might not be so trivial.

He had the decency kindness to mention you as an excellent example of a skin-walker.

Even though you have no powers, being a simple human, you manage yourself more than well and thats enough for him no to kill you.

505 🐻:

Just as Flug, he was afraid for seeing someone unknown in the manor but after a very VERY long explanation from Flug and you he somehow started assimilating it.

He doesn't treat your other identities as themselves, but as you. That's because he doesn't really grasp the whole concept so he just assumes it's you in a really good custom

(He know doesn't that you really put yourself in the character to the point of being other personalities you have in yourself)

His favourite personality is Enriqueta because with her he can bake and cook really good meals and because she gives him candy 🍭.

Always treats your clothes really carefully because he knows they mean a lot to you (and because they cost a lot of money 💰)

Just like everyone else, 505 doesn't really understand how you change appearances and personalities so quicky, you almost do it automatically.

Every single one of your personalities dotes on the blue bear except Julian, but that's because he's an asshole.

Doesn't think much about it, he just goes with it since it's part of you and still loves you the same.

[egg-emperor]

You think casino eggman is evil? Because he seems like a nice guy

If he seems super nice then I'm doing it right because he's supposed to come off as friendly, sweet, kind, and even caring and generous to most. He seems welcoming and wants to give friendly hugs and kisses all the time and is of course open to much more with where his seduction and charm will lead. His public persona is very positive and trusted by the masses and they love his highly successful businesses and entertainments across the globe.

He can still be mildly rude and come off as a bit bratty and snobby to those who hang around long enough because he's still a spoiled rich greedy businessman and it's subconscious. But as far as he's aware of it, he's careful with how he presents himself in most public settings. Only sometimes he does try to start shit in public, even just for a laugh when he's been drinking but most put it down to the alcohol as it's the only time they see it.

He knows how to have fun and is social and upbeat and friendly most of the time. He has a lot of charm for an old man that's still serious about business but refuses to be boring about it. Embracing these still very real and genuine qualities of his boldly and openly is very helpful to him when it comes to advancing his businesses, he's always getting steps further in the decades long process of his grand scheme and he's very good at keeping it up.

But he's only showing the good parts! Behind closed doors he can show a very different side. Whether they just find out that he can be much ruder and meaner than he ever seems in public- or they find out that he's actually capable of being a total evil heartless monster. He only shows certain sides to certain people and he has many but knows how to keep up with them all and avoid slipping up on who sees what.

It's very complex but to sum it up in a funny way, he's like Lots'o' Huggin' Bear. He seems so sweet and cuddly and warm and welcoming on the surface/in public towards certain people (he's even a strawberry scented bear too lol) but when he snaps, there's a whole new side of him that people never expect but the truth is that he's actually a very evil and cold and cruel criminal and mastermind behind the scenes and a great actor that keeps it hidden.

If people discover that he's two faced and actually a big asshole, nobody would ever believe he could be that mean, so those who tell just seem jealous and eager to ruin his reputation. When people see the absolute worst he can do, they're most likely to not survive as he can't let it get out. But occasionally he can just threaten them and let them go if he thinks they're powerless because nobody would ever believe he'd do such things even if they dare tell.

Besides that, a lot of his crimes involve him having run ins with other criminals as he tries to get what they've got and vice versa or have other drama between them. They can't report it when they'd be turning themselves in because they're wanted criminals but Casino Egg isn't because of his public persona and mass deceit. They all have no choice but to deal with each other by their own hands but they can't succeed in killing Casino Egg.

But the truth is that Casino Egg doesn't only kill out of self defense, though he'll claim it if found out. He's killed people over business deals, money, ownership of casinos and other establishments. He's killed people for discovering his secrets, if they cross him, or even just because they seemed likely to in his eyes. He's killed people just because they pissed him off enough or he just thought it would be funny Idk something is wrong with him 💜 lol

He has genuinely killed out of self defense too though, the first and most notable being what resulted in his gold tooth. People who were around at the time actually know about this because it was a public event, it happened right outside one of his casinos at night with someone that he ripped off in business as he always does but they dared to hit him and rage took over and he snapped and dealt with them. He lost a tooth but they lost their life.

It was witnessed and he walked back into the casino with a mouthful of blood and someone else's on him, so he couldn't exactly hide this one lol. But he didn't mind people beyond his crew knowing about just this one as he just looked like the only real victim in the situation and they weren't alive to attest and of course they'd believe him because they think he's a great guy. They also have no idea that he's so slimy so they'd never think he'd deserve it.

There are also groups of rivals and enemies out to kill him all the time because he's crossed one of their members, they want what he's got, or he killed someone they care about. He kills them in defense all the time when they get close enough but it's often his high security that deals with them first. He's also just miraculously survived a lot of crazy shit that he has gotten directly caught up in too and they hate how they can't kill him XD

He's also always willing to kill for those he loves. Too willing in fact, so certain partners of his have to beg him not to if they don't want him to kill for them! But he considers it the ultimate and deserved payback for anyone hurting or even just bothering someone he loves. All they have to do is give him a name and the word, or if he's mad enough then he'll go and deal with it anyway and that's why he can't make promises to those that don't want him to.

So despite him living a very dangerous life where his entire life and everything he owns is constantly at high risk, he always gets away with it and survives. And somehow his partners actually manage to be the safest around when they're with him because he's always great at surviving and also protecting when he cares to. Even though he makes a lot of false promises, when he says they're safe with him, they can believe it.

On the surface, in public, or alone with anyone he wants to fool, he always seems like nothing but a great guy that's sweet and caring and would never hurt anyone. But when the wrong people are alone with him that have pissed him off, they'll meet with a weapon of choice in hand or even just his cane or bare hands and he's chosen them as a target or he suddenly lashes out at them for any reason, they won't get out alive or will be too afraid to tell.

His body count isn't as high as modern Egg's (when talking kills at least lol) and he kills directly more often. But it doesn't make him more evil, modern would be really when considering mass destruction, environmental damage, and death he causes, and his intentions of the Eggman Empire. Plus Casino Egg has a genuine nice, sweet, even caring side reserved for a small few unlike modern but it doesn't take away from how terrible he is.

Killing aside, he's also just a slimy manipulative asshole who loves fucking people over and taking pride and enjoyment in using them to get what he wants then discarding them. And he's a heartbreaker because people fall for him easily with his charm and seduction but he most often only sees it as casual and like a game. He also fakes a lot of it or they're just favors to get something he wants out of them like business as he'll do anything for success.

So yeah he's still very much evil and a monster of a killer even, he just has to be secretive about it unlike modern Eggman! He even keeps it from those he loves for as long as he can just so they don't feel unsafe or are disturbed, aside from modern Eggman as his partner in crime that he can trust the most and has a blast doing fucked up shit with, along with the members of his crew that protect and aid him in some of his underground operations.

He's a big conman, almost everything he's most well known for is a lie and he does things illegally even when it isn't necessary but because he wants to. And he easily kills and lies his way through it to keep it going all this time to accomplish his grand scheme. But hey, those in the public that only know his sweet funny friendly side and his partners that get his genuinely loving and caring side enjoy his good parts hehe

He's my silly old fruity fucked up nasty bastard man with many sides and I adore all of them like I adore him as a whole lol 🐻🎰🎲🥚🍓💜

[diaz-fox]

Ummmm I really wanna know more about your WIP 90s romance but horse divorce is calling my name.... Am I allowed the greed of asking about both? 👀

you absolutely are allowed and i'm so glad you asked 👀

i'll get to horse divorce first bc i have more written for this than the ronance one so far but basically i saw a tweet ages ago (i can't remember the account for the life of me bc i just saw it in passing) about steve not being able to pronounce hors-d'oeuvres and saying 'horse divorce' instead which ??? i really disagreed with because that boy probably grew up listening to his rich mother yelling at caterers about hors-d'ouevres and probably had to attend events and shit just to save face so he definitely would know how to pronounce it imo. but eddie on the other hand... the boy has never seen or heard of hors-d'oeuvres in his life

so it kinda blossomed into this idea of a oneshot of established steddie and steve's parents show their faces for the first time in ages because they have some event to attend and they want steve to go with them so they can allude people to believe they're a solid, loving family unit just to save face and give off a good impression to all those rich fancy assholes that will be there. so steve (rightfully) gets annoyed abt it and eddie (bless him) offers to go with him 'as friends' even tho it's way out of his comfort zone to be around all those snobby rich people that would typically look down on him but he wants to be there for his boyfriend for moral support so he can suck it up for one night for steve's sake

so anyway they get to this function and eddie's looking at this fancy menu and cant pronounce half the shit that's on there and steve's just so enamoured with him because he's clearly making so much effort and he just says 'fuck it' and kisses him in front of everyone and ofc his parents are horrified

snippet:

So instead he ducks a hand underneath the table and realises just how anxious Eddie is when he rests his hand on his thigh and feels his leg bouncing, clearly jittery and nervous. His fingers dig into Eddie's thigh gently, comfortingly, and within ten seconds he feels the tense muscles under his hand relax, sees Eddie's tongue go back into his mouth from where it's poking out between his lips, sees the crease between his brows start to flatten and ease out.

"Steve?" Eddie whispers after a minute or so, finally tearing nervous eyes away from the menu to lean in close, lowering his voice so only Steve can hear. "What the fuck is a horse divorce?"

For a moment, Steve doesn't have a fucking clue what Eddie's talking about until he jabs a finger at the elegant cursive printed across the menu in his hands.

Steve's eyes lift from the menu to Eddie's face, his expression soft and entirely enamoured when he realises what Eddie had been trying to say. 

"What?" Eddie asks, eyes immediately widening in panic. He's been on edge since he got here and it makes Steve's heart ache with adoration, even more so now when he can see the cogs turning in his boyfriend's beautiful head as he tries to figure out what dumb thing he said. "Why are you looking at me like that? What did I do?"

"Hors-d'oeuvres." 

Eddie blinks owlishly. "Whore what?"

aaaaand for the 90s ronance fic, i literally have only written two sentences for it so i don't really have a snippet to share for this but the basic premise is running with maya's idea of a stobin spin-off where they move to nyc and just go to loads of clubs and have fun and then they run into nancy in a queer club with a couple of her emerson friends and it's like that one spider-man meme where nancy, robin and steve are all pointing at each other bc gay

but i'm planning to turn this into a multichap if i ever get round to finishing it and it's v ronance centric and explores a lot of lgbt history in the nineties and has grungy robin being a bit freer and more accepting of herself and nancy having really grown into herself outside of her comphet relationships and it's just been super exciting to plan out (and hopefully will be just as exciting to write!)

[dope-mysme-headcanons]

Can I ask for an RFA+V+Saeran comforting a sad MC? Maybe someone made a comment and they're feeling down about it but trying to act like they're okay.

Yoosung

You were both playing LOLOL and things were getting intense. You two were fighting a boss with a few members of your guild when you accidentally fumbled on the keyboard, messing up your shot that would’ve killed the monster.

The guild ended up losing and blamed it on you, hurling insults at you through their microphones. Usually you would just try and brush stuff like that off, but it was really getting to you. Without saying a word you shut your game off and stormed out of the room.

Yoosung followed quickly behind, seeing as you sat at the kitchen table, your face buried in your hands. It looked almost as if you were crying.

Sitting beside you, he rubbed your back gently, asking of you were alright. Lifting up your head you flashed him a fake smile, insisting that you were fine, you just needed to take a break from gaming for a while.

Of course though, the tears that threatened to spill down your cheeks gave the lie away. He pulled you close, rubbing your back as he tried to calm you down.

After a while you did, explaining how you hated hearing people you considered friends of yours saying such harsh things to you. Even though it was just a game you couldn’t help but take it to heart.

You both ended up putting a pause on gaming for the night, instead going out for a walk around the city to clear your mind.

Zen

His fans were going crazy over the reveal of your relationship. Some loved it, thinking you were adorable together, while others were less than happy about it. Your social media began to get blown up by crazy “fans”, every picture you posted getting met with tons of insults.

They ranged from blows at your looks to your intelligence, and you could barely stand it. You ended up disabling the comments under all your photos, but they still blew up your DMs and even Zen’s account.

He didn’t know how badly it affected you until he caught you looking into the mirror, poking and tugging at your face.

He watched in shock as you seemed to get frustrated, roughly raking your nails down the sides of your cheeks, leaving angry red marks in their place. Rushing into the bathroom, he pulled your hands away from your face and brought you into a tight hug.

That was when you broke down, returning the embrace with tears running down your cheeks. You told him how much they made you feel like you didn’t deserve him. How if you were prettier they would leave you alone.

Hearing that, he pulled away with a look of hurt. You were the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen, and anyone who couldn’t see it too was an idiot.

He made it a point to talk about you constantly on social media from then on, about how happy you made him and how wonderful you were. Slowly, the comments became less and less as the true fans defended you.

Jaehee

The coffee shop was pretty busy that morning, causing you to rush to get out all the orders quickly. Because of that, you accidentally messed up some guys order. It was an honest mistake, but he was a dick and decided to yell at you in front of the whole store.

Usually you could deal with an unpleasant customer or two without batting an eye, but this guy went above and beyond. Insulting not only your coffee making skills, but your looks as well.

Hearing how the man was yelling at you, Jaehee quickly excused herself from the register to see what was going on.

When she reached your end of the counter she saw as you stood there in shock, taking in all his insults with tears in your eyes. She swiftly ran up to you, putting herself between you and the man as if to shield you from him. From there she handled the situation, kicking the man out almost immediately.

After taking care of the rest of the customers she took you into the back, asking if you were alright. You tried to brush it off, insisting you were fine, but you couldn’t get what he said out of your head.

She reluctantly let you go back to work, but when she caught you crying in the storage room later she made sure you went home for the rest of the day.

Later that night she joined you, sitting with you on the couch and handing you a warm cup of hot chocolate. You took a sip, leaning your head on her shoulder. Yeah, people were assholes, but at least you had an amazing girlfriend to help you forget about them.

Jumin

After you two got engaged your faces were plastered over every tabloid and celebrity news site, and those rarely had anything nice to say. Some called you a gold digger, while others outright insulted your looks, comparing you to the past girlfriends of Mr. Han.

In the beginning you paid them no attention. You knew you weren’t a gold digger, and you didn’t care how you looked compared to the women his father chose to surround himself with.

You assumed it would all die down after a while, but to your surprise they kept coming. It seemed like there would be more and more everyday. Slowly they picked away at your self confidence, to the point where you hated going out in public.

Jumin noticed right away when you refused to go to a charity ball he was invited to. You absolutely loved dancing, why on Earth would you refuse?

He asked you later on that day while you were waiting for dinner. You didn’t answer right away, but after a few minutes of silence you gave in. You hated being followed around by cameras only to be ridiculed the next day for how you looked.

Being numb to negative attention by now, he helped you see the articles in a different way. Instead of getting hurt, you soon began to find them humorous. Like really, they were scorning you for wearing sweatpants at CVS? Who in the world would dress up to go to a god damned drug store?

After about a week you decided to go to the ball, and he made sure you were wearing the most elegant gown there. That night the tabloids had nothing negative to say, but you didn’t care. You were just happy to spend the night dancing with your fiance.

Seven

There was this one person who had been stalking your social media accounts for a while, leaving stupid comments under all your pictures. At first you paid no mind to them, but after a while they began to get harsher and harsher.

It even came to the point where the person started texting you. It was terrifying, you had no clue how they even got your number.

Instead of telling Seven though you decided to keep it to yourself, not wanting to seem weak or helpless. But it got so bad that you couldn’t even bear to look at your phone anymore.

After a while Seven caught on, watching as you flinch every time a notification on your phone went off. He finally intervened when the two of you were on a date and you checked your phone, seeming to tear up while reading one of your messages.

He stopped you right then and there, asking who was texting you. For a few minutes you refused to answer, but finally told him how some creepy stalker had been messaging you nonstop.

Making sure you turned your phone off, he made sure the rest of the date was as fun as he could make it to help you take your mind off of it. When you returned later that night he tracked down the guy, finding out it was a jealous ex of yours from years ago.

He made sure the guy would never contact you again, sending him multiple viruses and blackmail so he would back off for good.

Saeran

You were out on a date, taking a nice walk in the park after you had dinner. It was really fun as the two of you (though, mostly you) laughed and joked, that is, until you heard someone behind you tell their friend that your laugh was annoying.

After that, you stopped talking. It was something you were self conscious about since you were a kid, though you had just started to get over it. Now, all the progress you’ve made had been knocked down completely.

At first he thought you were mad at him, asking over and over if he did something wrong. You smiled, assuring him that you were alright and he was perfectly fine.

But still, other than that you barely spoke for the rest of the night. He couldn’t help but get concerned, watching you closely. He’d make a dark joke and see the corners of your lips twitch up in a grin, but he could tell you were trying to suppress your laughter.

When you got home he tried again, even getting his brother to help him out. Thankfully it worked and you let out a soft giggle, but as soon as it happened you slapped your hand over your mouth to silence it.

He definitely knew something was wrong then. He sat you down on the couch and pulled you into a hug. It was awkward, but comforting at the same time. At that moment you broke down, telling him what had happened in the park and how much you hated your voice. Seven had to practically restrain him from trying to find and kick the ass of whoever made the comment.

The scene was enough to make you laugh for real, causing him to stop struggling against his brother. No matter what anyone said, your laugh was the most beautiful thing he has ever heard.

V

He had asked you to go to one of his gallery openings, to which you happily obliged. You were having a great time, drinking champagne and admiring your boyfriend’s work as he spoke to various attendants. But everything turned to shit when you heard two snobby rich women gossiping about you behind your back.

They completely tore you apart, commenting on how “cheap” your designer dress seemed to them to how trampy they thought you were.

You knew the scene all too well. Ever since you started dating V you took a disliking to the rich women who often attended his galleries. All they cared about was their looks and how much money they had, and it drove you insane.

That being said, that didn’t mean you didn’t take their comments to heart. You found yourself self consciously tugging at the end of your dress in an attempt to make it longer. Cursing, you hated yourself for choosing something so short. Maybe they were right, you were just a tramp.

It was the middle of the gallery when V was finally finished speaking with associates and decided to find you. To his surprise, instead of socializing like you usually did, you stood in a corner observing the whole event with a frown.

That’s when he knew something was up. He joined you, leaning against the wall in the spot next to you and grabbing your hand. After a moment of silence you filled him in, pointing out the two women who were more than a little tipsy from the champagne.

He let out a laugh, explaining how you shouldn’t take to heart what two snobby women said. Besides, their husbands both bought photographs from him that had you in them.
