#birthday shenanigans~

[thememory]

↳ @stingslikeabee gifted: It was impossible for Melissa to let Aerith's birthday go unnoticed or uncelebrated - not when the flower girl turned into such a remarkable presence in her life. Not only the younger woman, but also Elmyra; they welcomed the brothel madame into their domestic routines as if she was related by blood; they supplied the human connections that the inn proprietress craved so much.

In reality, they offered Melissa a gift everyday with their affection and allowing the brunette to belong; it was only fair to repay it on Aerith's special day.

For that year, however, the madame tried to be creative - as well as a little bit on the mischievous side. Bringing Aerith jewelry was not a novelty in itself, even if Melissa tended to order her gifts from a particular artisan and get them custom-made, just as her own pieces. But this time, no flower or expected allusion to the girl's beautiful garden... But a small, very familiar feline figure hanging from a delicate gold chain (golden like honey - of course).

"I thought you'd appreciate a little reminder of a mutual friend of yours, even when he's not around," Melissa joked, the pendant an obvious allusion to Cait Sith although it wasn't immediately noticeable to anyone unfamiliar with Reeve's esteemed companion, "Besides, it's going to be so much fun to watch Reeve struggle to remember when he gave you that," the older woman grinned, but proceeded to envelop Aerith in a hug and press a kiss to each of her cheeks, as well as one on her forehead. There was no such thing as too much affection for the madame, after all.

"Happy birthday, sweetheart. I hope you have many happy ones - I'll do my best to shower you with gifts during each and every one of them."

------IT HAD LONG been noted that aerith had a penchant for finding company in the oddest of places. any detailed eye, if they knew where to look, might find that she'd befriended (in some fashion) each of the turks that visited her in their quiet, secret moments. body guards, bar maids, "terrorist" group leaders ... everything in between, painted magnificently in a canvas of friendship that only someone like aerith gainsborough could weave. it should come to no surprise that among those friends lay two influential figureheads ---powerful in their own right, and tied to the cetra in a similar fashion: through love.

reeve tuesti was a surprise of a friend. he was a surprise of a love, too, spawned from innocence and delicate gestures, cherished in dirt-covered palms as if he were precious like a seedling (and he was precious, he was). the turks were one thing - if shinra knew they had been keeping aerith secret for so long, shit would surely hit the fan. but one of their directors? so close? preposterous.

and the proprietress of the honey been inn struck another note. wall-market was cloistered organization of power itself. while the don held the obvious influence it was the madame of the inn that really held power ... secrets, one in the same. it had never been aerith's intention to get in good with melissa for anything other than a friend. more than this ---a sister. the gossip that came therein was a comical bonus, often left by the wayside for genuine affection in the form of time spent. aerith would happily whittle her days away in the company of big sister, learning from her, laughing with her, enjoying the softness that came with each of these aspects.

elmyra so often commented how nice it was to have someone like mel around, too. a good balance of those brutes (the turks, or maybe zack and cloud?)

keepsakes were precious to aerith. the ribbon gifted from a dark-haired SOLDIER so often adorned her hair still (or her wrist, if she didn't wear the twist people so often associated with her). the glimmer of the feline had aerith's eyes widening and the grin that spread to her features was infectious. cait sith was precious to her - someone she toted around the slums as if he were a child and not a creation of that aforementioned shinra director. " oh mel, it's too much! " gold, really ... but she wriggled in her seat while inspecting the charm regardless.

she was quick to clasp the necklace around her neck, then to accept mel's sweeping hug in one of her own. she squeezed her dear friend with all of her little might, a chuckle escaping her thereafter, " please, he'll drive himself insane trying to remember. he's not far off, not with the work hours. " a pause, and aerith lingered holding onto mel's hands, clasped her fingers with melissa's, " stay the night? a sleep over? thank you, melissa. sincerely. "

MC:*watching Lucifer and Diavolo dance together at a party* Do you think Lucifer and Diavolo have ever kissed?

Barbatos:*sitting next to MC sipping on a glass of demonus* I know they’ve had intercourse before.

MC: Even I know that. But I’m asking if you think they’ve kissed.

Prompt 235

“Mother, I have made a friend.” 

Now don’t get him wrong, Danny was delighted at the idea of Jordan making a friend, he really was. But the last three attempts had been borderline kidnappings, so he wasn’t entirely sure if he should be. Thankfully it doesn’t seem he’s kidnapped this one. Hopefully. 

Not that he wouldn’t be surprised if Dan managed to kidnap a tiny kryptonian, but the kid- Jon apparently- seemed happy enough to be there. Apparently his grandparents lived in the midwest too, and was happy enough to have someone to talk about it. 

Though um, maybe Danny should have checked to see if his parents knew where he’d gone, because he was not expecting a harried-looking superman to suddenly appear at his window.

That magical moment when you bring your sword and shield to the party and encounter a like-minded soul with their own sword.

One of my many highlights from Kindle this year was clashing steel with Sterling Bishop on the beach. I really couldn't have asked for more for my birthday weekend.

A huge thank you to Jason Surh and to all the other photographers out at Kindle for capturing the moments so we can hold and share them for years to come. 💛

I need people to understand that Riddle is only a month older than Ace, and that's fucking hilarious.

Dude trying to act all high and mighty with a first year that he's only older than by a month. Like dude, were you born like even a couple of weeks later, you'd be in the same year.

And while funny, it's also sad cuz Riddle is acting a lot older than he is. Which is...definitely a symptom of his trauma. Like jfc...

ESPECIALLY SINCE MAMA ROSEHEARTS HAS BEEN PLANNING HIS SHIT WHILE HE WAS IN THE WOMB

That is not normal. Nothing is normal about Riddle, and while, thanks to his hard work, it has given him such powerful magic and reserves, he is very NOT okay. Like GIRL, it is not normal to read like 50 pages a day for tomorrow's lesson when you're not even in the double digits for your age. MEMORIZING EVERY RULE IN HEARTSLABYUL??

Commendable for anyone else, WERE IT NOT RIDDLE WHO HAD THIS SHIT INGRAINED IN HIM THAT SHOULD BE A NORM WITHOUT ROOM FOR ERROR.

Mrs. Rosehearts, WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU....

Anyways, rage against Mrs. Rosehearts aside, it's still pretty damn funny that the only thing separating Riddle from the first years is a few weeks like who let this baby into the group of second years. You should be fighting with Ace in the middle of a Denny's parking lot.

everyone likes to characterize shou as the one climbing through ritsu's window uninvited, but I think it's important to remember that when he showed up at the kageyamas' house, he knocked on their front door like a normal person. ritsu however broke into kamuro's dirty fuckin room, presumably through the window, for no reason other than to intimidate him and be an asshole. and he still had the good etiquette to take his shoes off, while being a dick. I think we need to reevaluate which one is more likely to exhibit unhinged behavior and break into someone else's house between ritsu and shou

Happy birthday, Anthony! I just finished drawing this on April Fools and thought it fits. What better thing to post today than some queerplatonic Radioapple tomfoolery? And the fact that Angel Dust invited himself in it is just one big beautiful bonus! So please enjoy! -Bubbly 💙

↳ @tsurugixbuster gifted: The SOLDIER is always running off. There is always a new mission to be complete or a battle to be fought...

Still, when the flowergirl comes home from a long day of selling flowers, there is a wrapped package left at her door.

Pink ribbons and bows adorn the vibrant red paper, and in big bold letters her name is written on the card attached to the gift. With "from Zack" scrawled out across the bottom of the paper.

------SHE NEVER EXPECTED anything on her birthday. a silly notion, considering elmyra always went out of her way to ensure that aerith felt loved now. she suspected that her adopted mother often worried - that she'd slip through the cracks and be forgotten (much as she was as a child attending the leaf house for lessons, being teased by other children), or that she was insignificant. aerith never believed those things. it was only ever evident in the way elmyra looked out for her, cared for her that she was adored. but still ---she suspected that a mother worried. it had been a long time since she'd woken up to find her daughter shaking in bed with a cold sweat form nightmares - memories come in the form of dreams. but it still happened.

regardless, aerith never expected anything. she loved the morning routine, the stack of pancakes so high that it would be impossible to eat more than four (she always ate seven, though). or the cake in the evening, bringing a sugar rush so dangerous that aerith often climbed up on the roof to sit under the soft artificial "moonlight" and listen to the flowers and the waterfall.

she looked forward to those things - her own gift to herself tucked into a little satchel at her side, a sort of pseudo purse with precious life within. the package was hard to ignore, not that she wanted to, and she stooped for the gift as she neared the door. surely not elmyra.

when it turned over in her hands she lit up at the name scrawled below -sore for missing him, if he'd stopped by himself, but excited all the same. rather than bringing it in with her (and rather than experiencing the third degree of elmyra gainsborough) she crouched where she was ... by the door, and gingerly began unwrapping the gift.

she did like surprises.
