native 101: how to spot a pretendian

[when speaking of indigenous people i’m discussing ai/an]

first and foremost, this is not to be taken (by non-natives) as permission to then label people native, or not native. this is simply a guide to help you guys discern, at least a little bit better, when we say someone is a pretendian and what that actually means.

tldr: the way they identify themselves (“native american” with no nation; top pretendian nations, etc.), the connection and history they have to their people / nation (this includes reconnecting / “new” natives), how well known “natives” =/= being native, and a brief mention of “looks” and/or word of mouth being the only deciding factor in being “native” (booboo stewart, kelsey chow, etc.), is how real indigenous people can quickly pick out a pretendian in the crowd.

there are plenty of indigenous people in the rpc, so feel free to ask me for more indigenous blogs you can use as a reference. i hope this guide provides you guys with some more insight and understanding; so you can stop asking us the same question, with differing fcs, every other week.

i’m going to put this disclaimer here, so i don’t keep repeating myself later on. if you’re not indigenous, your opinion does not matter when it comes to pretendians, blood quantum, “looks”, etc. but, if you have updated information on a faceclaim (whether they are or are not a pretendian) please send it! education is key.

the steps below does not mean that every single person doing these things are a pretendian! (example: a common pretendian nation is cherokee. malese jow is actually cherokee!) everybody keeps asking “how we know” so i figured to let y’all know what we work through and look for.

how do they identify themselves?

a lot of the time, pretendians will do one of two things.

one. they won’t ever name a specific nation. how many “native” people out there just call themselves native american? they don’t give any other factors, they don’t elaborate, they just leave it as that. for the most part, indigenous people will always give their nations name. we take pride in where we come from and are outspoken on our nations. even cody christian, for example, who has not played a native character and is extremely “not native looking” has his nations listed on his own website. any time you google “cody christian ethnicity” it will come up. so it doesn’t mean natives have to talk about it 24/7 to “be” indigenous, but it simply starts at naming a nation!

two. give the top pretendian tribes. care to take a guess? correct! cherokee! blackfoot is also a popular one, as well. it’s less often you catch a pretendian going for smaller known tribes. i personally think it’s because it’d be easier to look at tribal records and quickly find out they’re not apart of it, but maybe these pretendians just don’t know other nations! any time i hear somebody claim cherokee it’s like an immediate eye roll. (did y’all know there’s also different bands of cherokee?) the biggest culprit would be kelsey chow, who claimed eastern band! the nation themselves had to come out and say there is no record of her. but that was after she’d already taken native roles, where others were boasting about her indigeneity. being known for “being native” does not make you native! case and point.

two contd. speaking of claiming “lesser known” tribes, that still doesn’t give pretendians a pass! could also be you believe them because they’re not as well known. like julia jones claiming chickasaw and choctaw, tyler blackburn claiming comanche, etc. this isn’t an end all be all when people claim well known nations vs not well known ones, but just something to keep in mind! when looking to see if someone is pretendian, we don’t just look at one thing, like this, it’s a combination of basically everything in this post. so don’t let the nations fool you! it’s just one piece of the puzzle.

i will be talking a little later on about people who are known for being native and how harmful that impacts actual native people down below.

how do they connect to their nation?

are they from the rez? do they have traditional clothing? are they actively reconnecting (and what does that look like)?

not every native person has grown up in their culture, that’s not what being native is, but there still should be some sort of connection to them! an example of a native person who did not grow up in the culture and has since been reconnecting is kristin chirico who is cayuga and seneca! kristin has actively been taking the steps to connect to the cayuga and seneca people for the last few years and is very outspoken on that fact. other people have actually grown up in their nation (doesn’t necessarily have to be on a rez, but has had that close contact with their family and people). like kiowa gordon, martin sensmeier, quannah chasinghorse, khadijha red thunder, malese jow, cody christian, etc.

being native doesn’t equal growing up around native people, i want to make that clear. there is a lot of different avenues to be connected to one’s indigeneity, as listed above! but it’s important to see what real connection looks like when we brings up others who have no real connections because they’re pretendians. an example being tinsel korey - from twilight! she played sam’s wife. her real name is actual harsha patel and she’s indian (from india!). she’s claimed for so long that she was indigenous (she finally landed on claiming ojibwe, but has also previously claimed mohawk, cherokee, and cree) yet she had no active connection to the nation she claimed, she didn’t try to reconnect, she didn’t have ancestral grounds, etc.

there are many ways to be native. don’t mistake not being super connected / outspoken as them being fake or not “native enough” and don’t think anybody who is loud about being “native” in hollywood is. context is vital.

well known “natives” =/= being native.

please don’t then go ask “well so-and-so said they’re native and they’re an actor so does that mean they’re lying?” not necessarily! pay attention! get a grip!

kelsey chow, julia jones, tyler blackburn, and blair redford are just some of the ~popular~ pretendians around. but at one point, many thought that they were entirely indigenous. notoriety, getting indigenous roles, or just presenting yourself that way (to seem cool, to get jobs, to... idk) doesn’t mean somebody is inherently indigenous. in my pretendians masterlist, i have even more names there that you might not even realize aren’t native, as well as the phrase “it’s not about who you claim, it’s who claims you.” this doesn’t mean if you can be enrolled in a nation (i.e. blood quantum) but if there’s any record of your ancestors being apart of that nation! or you actively being apart of it / reconnecting.

for example, cody christian isn’t super outspoken on being indigenous, nor has he taken (as far as i know) any native role. that’s his own choice! this isn’t about that. you see him and you see a white man. but his mother grew up on the reservation, so did her parents, and so on. he is claimed by his people, even if he isn’t extremely vocal about it. he doesn’t need to prove that to you, it’s simply inherent. meanwhile, kelsey chow ran up and down hollywood screaming she was eastern cherokee. she then got cast as an indigenous woman (based on her words of being indigenous) and the eastern band said hold up! not on my watch! and explained they did not claim her.

you don’t need a specific blood amount or look to actually be indigenous. you need that ties to your culture and nation (no matter how far back it is) to be indigenous.

booboo stewart (looks).

firstly. he can choke. hollywood stop casting booboo the fool stewart as your indian fav challenge.

secondly! read my post about him here.

booboo stewart is quite possibly the most harmful pretendian there is. he’s made it so far on the notion he’s native. it’s just words. he’s made no effort to connect to his people, to be apart of the culture, but on top of that! they also haven’t claimed him. i’m not sure why they haven’t come out and said he is or is not apart of their nation. i wish they would! he’s taken multiple, countless, numerous roles from real native people.

his “looks” are the only thing he has going for him. he’s an asian man! he’s got small eyes and high cheekbones but non-natives are so stupid they think that means he’s a redskin! this is why we’re so vocal about looks not being important to be considered indigenous. because people see someone with ambiguous features calling themselves generokee and run with it.

i don’t want to write a dissertation on him, but he’s been silent on native issues, not speaking up or spreading awareness, and actively taking roles away from indigenous people. he’s not taking any asian roles the way he’s taking native roles, even though his mother is entirely asian, and he has never spoken about his culture or people apart from “being” native american. i’m not even sure if he, himself, has ever named a nation or if blackfoot got tossed around.

this man is a menace and it’s on sight for anybody who is a booboo apologist. thank you and goodnight.

conclusion.

thank you for reading all of this! send it to your friends, spread the word. i’m not taking any more excuses after this.

i want to end this by saying, again, this does not give non-natives a pass to cast judgements on others for their indigeneity. this can be used as a tool to help distinguish why we call someone a pretendian, or for people to come to us (after reading this) because they think so-and-so is a pretendian because of what we look for! do not go around saying someone is or isn’t indigenous unless a native person has already said so. now, we ask that nobody come to us inquiring “why” we say x, y, z is a pretendian. we’ve laid it all out for you. you don’t have to understand, that’s not your job, but you do have to listen to us about our issues. neewe! thanks.

let me know if you have any other questions i can add to this guide. i’m not sure what non-natives want to know, or don’t know, or are confused about.

#ref: native.#FINALLY! i've been sitting on this for so long #trying to finish and i quickly did so so if i left anything #out or something doesn't make sense please let me know!#native 101.

Returning the Favor

Summary: After Natasha and Yelena decided they needed to go find Alexei, Natasha ends up stopping the car at a small, rundown inn so the two of them can rest. When they are getting ready for bed, Yelena is reminded of all those ugly marks on Natasha's back, and she feels compelled to try to help in some way. Strangely enough, Natasha accepts her help. Canon compliant.

Word Count: 3120

The women had been driving for quite some time that evening and had fallen into a mostly comfortable silence as Natasha focused on driving and Yelena mentally celebrated the fact that Natasha actually liked her vest that she was so proud of.

However, they both were extremely exhausted by now, and they had started looking for places to stop and stay.

After several minutes of searching, Natasha finally pulled in and stopped at a small, rundown inn that looked like one of the sleaziest spots in town.

“It’s not the Ritz Carlton, but it’ll do,” Natasha muttered under her breath as she unbuckled her seat belt, and Yelena glanced at her with some confusion, trying not to let too much of the emotion invade her features. The last thing that she wanted to do was look uneducated or unknowing in front of Natasha.

“I’ve slept in worse places,” Yelena finally settled for wryly admitting, and Natasha just looked at her with something that resembled guilt. However, it was gone as soon as it appeared, and they both got out of the car, heading for the front of the little inn.

Yelena just lingered near Natasha as the redhead asked for a room for the both of them, and she took a moment to analyze anyone she saw and the general area. She needed to make sure that the both of them would not be compromised or caught.

In the midst of her pre-planning, she had not realized that Natasha had finished getting a room.

“Hey, did you hear me?” Natasha called, and Yelena looked quickly at Natasha, silently questioning what she needed.

“What?”

“Can you go get our bag?” Natasha questioned, and Yelena somewhat begrudgingly nodded in agreeance, not really sure if she liked being the bag-fetcher, but she complied as Natasha chucked the keys in her direction. Yelena caught them easily.

“We’re in room 19. It’s only got one bed, but we’ll figure something out,” Natasha told her with all the calmness in the world. Yelena, however, was still stuck on the fact that she and the older woman were going to be sharing a bed.

It was something that she longed for throughout her many years in the Red Room, wishing they could be like they were as kids when they would crawl in bed together and wrap their arms around each other. She really needed that comfort through the horrors and tragedies she had to endure. Now that she was actually going to get her wish, she was feeling more anxious about it than anything. Things were not the same with her and Natasha, and she could not get a good read on the redhead.

Nevertheless, she decided to just go and get the bag and worry about the bed arrangements later.

Once she headed up to the room with the bag slung over her arm, she quickly noticed that Natasha had already peeled the bedcovers back and was about to sit on the edge of the bed and remove her shoes. It was then that Yelena truly considered something that she should have thought of beforehand. Yelena just stood stock still, her eyes shifting about as she scanned the room. Natasha seemed to realize her tenseness and spoke.

“What?”

“We need to check for cameras,” Yelena spoke quietly, worrying they could be heard.

“I already did,” Natasha immediately assured her, and Yelena found herself surprised that the redhead had bothered with it. She would have assumed that Natasha was long over even remotely thinking of that sort of thing.

She guessed some habits just never die.

“Well, aren’t you ever the golden child?” Yelena muttered under her breath, a tiny bit of bitterness easing into her tone but mostly finding herself filled with some strange sense of being cared for.

Yelena shook those thoughts from her head, remembering the reality of their situation. Yelena uncomfortably stood near her side of the bed, already feeling her stomach twist with the fact that she was going to have to share a bed with someone that she so desperately wanted to get close to and that seemed to not really want her all that close.

Once she kicked her shoes off, she looked back up in Natasha’s direction, just watching her as she tiredly removed her own shoes. Her eyes swiftly locked onto the bit of skin on her back that was exposed as she bent over slightly. Yelena felt her heart ache as she was intensely reminded of the bruises covering Natasha’s back in giant, hideous splotches.

It made her hurt, and now that the image was back in her head, she could not quite get it out. It was bothering her relentlessly, and she quickly considered the possibilities and how she could at least get a better look at the marks.

It was then that she thought of the perfect excuse. Yelena cleared her throat a bit.

“Hey, um… Since you bandaged my arm earlier… I was wondering if you wanted me to take a look at your back? You know, returning the favor and all,” Yelena offered, forcing a sense of casualness and nonchalance in her voice when she was really feeling something much more overwhelming. It constricted in her chest, squeezing her heart as she made the tender offer to someone that she somehow adored despite the fact that she had not seen her in years and years.

She could see Natasha stiffen a bit from her position sitting on the edge of the opposite side of the bed. Yelena just watched her carefully, feeling sure that the redhead was going to turn her down.

Honestly, she was beginning to regret asking her at all. She knew that it probably sounded weird, and it honestly made her feel a little weird to say anything at all. However, all she knew was that every time she looked at Natasha’s jacket-covered back, all she could think about was the ugly bruises that she had caught sight of when they were at the safehouse. Even now, Natasha’s thin, black shirt did little to take the image from Yelena’s mind.

She was about to add onto her last statement and try to write it off as a joke or something until Natasha suddenly replied.

“If you want,” Natasha consented, her head turning to the side as she glanced in the blonde’s direction. Yelena awkwardly shuffled over, easing onto the bed behind the redheaded woman. She paused for just a moment before touching the older woman’s shirt, trying to gather her nerve.

It had been so long since she had been so close with Natasha. Granted, they had their close-combat fight from earlier, but she was completely and terribly out of practice as far as peaceful, intimate contact with this person that was somehow so important to her.

Some part of her was weirded out by the whole thing, but another, somehow louder part of her was screaming how right it felt and how much she just wanted to hug the person in front of her, regardless of the anger, hurt, and many other mixed emotions that had been running through her rampantly.

Yelena gently looped her fingers around the hem of Natasha’s shirt and pulled up. She kept going until the shirt hung itself around Natasha’s shoulders, exposing the ugly marring that had been concealed beneath the fabric. It was then that she realized that Natasha’s back was not just bruised but there was also some raw skin there that was just starting to heal a little.

Almost before she could think better of it or control herself, Yelena reached her free hand out to Natasha’s back, gently touching the ugly purple-red splotches with the most feather-light contact she could muster.

Her astute observational skills did not miss how the muscles of Natasha’s back tensed up with the contact. However, other than that, the redhead showed no resistance to her. Yelena trailed her fingers down the older woman’s back, feeling the skin, muscle, scar, bruising and raw flesh that was there.

To her surprise, there was an ugly scar on the lower part of Natasha’s back, and Yelena ran her thumb over it gently, noticing how the skin on it was peeling up some. It was no doubt reopened somewhat from her activity throughout the day and the amount of falling and scrapes they had. Natasha never moved out from under her touch, and she actually hardly moved at all outside of the controlled breaths she was taking.

The sight of these things made her stomach flip and her chest hurt. And she could not help but feel extremely guilty for her own actions earlier. She knew she could not have made these wounds any better by slamming Natasha into every wall she could find. The guilt was almost stifling, and it made her irrational.

So irrational that Yelena felt a tug in her to just hug the redhead from behind. But she pushed away that urge as quickly as it came, negating it and shoving it in some locked part of herself. However, much to her frustration, it still lingered a bit within her despite her best efforts.

“You’ve got a lot of booboos,” Yelena muttered under her breath, trying to bring at least a hint of levity to the situation since she was so uncomfortable with her own feelings. Natasha huffed a bit, her muscles in her back moving just a bit with the contraction of her chest.

“Booboos seem to be the thing that I have most of,” Natasha replied softly, her voice some mix of bitterness and a poor attempt at a reciprocation of Yelena’s humor. However, it came out much more tense than it should have, and Yelena found herself at a loss as to what to say.

Things quickly grew quiet again, falling back into that awkward silence between them. Yelena knew logically that there was nothing that she could do for the bruises and raw places on Natasha’s back, but she still felt her heart aching as if she needed to do something.

“There’s some antibiotic ointment in the bag over there,” Natasha pointed out suddenly, almost as if she sensed Yelena’s difficulty and hesitance to leave Natasha in her current state without some sort of attention.

“I bought it earlier,” Natasha explained simply, her voice quiet as she explained its presence. Yelena hesitated for a moment more before heading over to the bag and searching through it, pulling out the ointment and then heading back to Natasha.

She knew the redhead was doing this mostly for Yelena’s benefit since the antibiotic ointment was not going to do much for the places on Natasha’s back. However, she desperately hoped that Natasha did not see through her motives and realize that she just wanted to be close with her. It was hard enough for Yelena to admit to herself, and she could not imagine the humiliation if Natasha found out about it.

Yelena sat just behind Natasha, her legs folded together as she opened the container and placed it between her legs. She then reached a hand up to help keep the shirt in place where it was bunched up around Natasha’s shoulders.

Yelena dipped her free hand in the ointment, making sure her fingers were coated with the sticky stuff. She then hesitated for just a moment, hovering over Natasha’s shoulder blade. She waited for a long moment, trying to gather the nerve, and once she finally managed to get just enough courage, she made contact with Natasha’s skin.

Natasha let out a breath that was not quite a hiss, but it was definitely a sigh of discomfort and slight pain. Yelena knew that the stuff was not made to burn, but she also knew that sometimes medication burned anyway despite what it said on the container. She did not reply with an apology, knowing it would do no good. Plus, she could not exactly trust her voice to work at this moment.

Yelena worked at the place gently with her fingers, rubbing the ointment into Natasha’s skin and trying to get the stuff to actually sink in some so it could help her sister. Natasha loosened gradually as Yelena almost massaged her back.

The blonde ran her palm over the wound, trying to spread the ointment across her back. There were very few raw places on Natasha’s back but when she hit one, Natasha’s muscles would tense slightly before relaxing considerably.

Yelena then moved across Natasha’s back to the other shoulder, rubbing a small bit across the relatively small abrasion there. Natasha did not react to that one, and she assumed it was mostly just bruising.

When Yelena moved down to the lower parts of her back, however, Natasha stiffened quite a bit, the quietest of noises escaping her. If Yelena had not been trained to listen for things as she had, she would have definitely missed it.

Yelena ached to do or say something that might ease the pain, but she had no idea what. She just settled for rubbing the stuff more gently and speeding up her work over the area. She then dabbed a bit of the ointment on her index finger before rubbing it on Natasha’s scar. She knew that there was not much reason to do it there, but she somehow wanted to let Natasha know that she was paying attention and that she cared.

Natasha had been extremely hardened to her throughout their time together so far, but she had caught small glimpses of Natasha just looking at her with something that was infuriatingly real. Something that was completely opposite of the words that Natasha kept repeating and seemed to have taken up as her mantra.

You weren’t really my sister.

That stung more than anything that Yelena had heard in years. It had come from someone so close to her, someone that she absolutely loved so much that it hurt. The only thing that had eased the pain was the way that Natasha kept gazing at her with that tender, loving, soft look in her eyes. Of course, every time she looked in Natasha’s direction in an attempt to get a better look at the expression, Natasha returned to her calculating, quietly brooding countenance.

She never said anything to acknowledge it, but she would stare at Natasha for a long moment to silently inform Natasha that she was indeed paying attention and knew that she secretly cared still.

Her returning stares must have done something, because when Natasha bandaged her arm that evening, Natasha had that love and care in her eyes that she had been trying so desperately to hide. It was not as strong as it could have been, but it was still plenty enough to make Yelena’s heart hurt with the need to be close with the person that she considered to be her sister.

“How bad is it back there?” Natasha questioned, and it was then that Yelena realized how long she had been focusing on Natasha’s back. Yelena pulled her hand away quickly as if she had been burned and used her clean hand to pull down Natasha’s shirt over the wounds carefully.

“You look like someone tied you to the back of a truck and drug you behind them on the road,” Yelena informed her simply, trying to keep the small note of worry out of her voice and finding that she was failing miserably.

“That’s reassuring,” Natasha replied, her voice completely deadpan, and Yelena smirked a tiny bit as she headed for the bathroom to wash her hands.

“That’s what I’m here for,” Yelena responded with just as much sarcasm in her tone as Natasha had used. Once she had cleaned her hands, she headed back into the room, feeling her muscles growing a little tired from the events of the day. Natasha had already moved into the bed, laying on her side comfortably as she faced the wall. Yelena moved onto her side, sliding underneath the blankets and positioning herself.

However, Yelena bristled just a little as she realized that there were too many ways for people with ill intentions to easily get in. There was a window near Natasha on her side of the bed, and Yelena’s side of the bed was not far from the door. It made her terribly uncomfortable as soon as she actually considered the arrangement.

“I’ll take the first watch if you want,” Natasha offered quietly, and Yelena felt something in her chest melt. Natasha somehow knew that Yelena was uncomfortable and nervous, and it made Yelena feel strangely vulnerable and naked for the woman to be so well aware of it.

“No, I can. You’ve had a longer day than me,” Yelena expressed.

“We literally did the exact same things today,” Natasha informed her, and Yelena could hear the slightest hints of a smile in her voice.

“Yeah, but I wasn’t the one that fell and hit literally everything on the way down,” Yelena acknowledged, rolling over on her side to face Natasha. To her surprise, the redhead was already laying on her back and looking in her direction. Yelena’s mind was quickly overtaken with the almost completely undisguised affection in Natasha’s eyes.

This time was sort of like earlier that night, but it was so much stronger.

“I also was the one that landed on my feet when I hit the ground,” Natasha teasingly spoke, her voice soft, and Yelena was shaken from her stupor. She rolled her eyes, huffing slightly as she shrugged in response to the redhead.

“Fine, you take the first watch. Just make sure to wake me up so you can get some sleep, too,” Yelena informed her, turning her back to the redhead so she could face the door as they slept. Natasha did not move for a long moment, and Yelena could practically feel her gaze. The last thing the blonde was aware of was when the mattress shifted a bit as the older woman sat up in the bed to keep watch.

To her pure surprise, when Natasha woke her up for her turn to watch, Yelena realized that she had rested more well than she had in years and years. She could not remember a time that she slept so soundly without some sort of sedative.

As Natasha laid down in her place and started to try to sleep, Yelena could not help but marvel at the woman resting there quietly.

Somehow, although they had been separated for years now and things were somewhat awkward between them, Natasha still managed to make her feel safer than she ever had.

And that made some of her leftover anger and bitterness dissipate.

Note

why do you like taegi the most?

i’ve had this ask sitting in my inbox for a hot minute because i wanted to be able to respond when i had the time to lay out a novel. maybe... i don’t know how long this will be but here we go bubs. thank you for asking in advance!

for starters... kim taehyung.

my ultimate. the man that choses me no matter what i did. i admire him, aspire to be more like him, and adore him to all extremes. from his younger years and to present years, this guy really sticks out with personality for me. (yes he’s attractive but like, it’s really the personality that makes me coo). i could actually feel a vibe/energy toward taehyung in which in some sort of mystical au where i could meet him, i feel like i’d connect with him very well (you can disagree, idc). this is just my perception. yes, he’s a lump of an enigma and that’s exactly what i like about him. you never fully know what you’re getting with tae besides the fact that you know you don’t know what you’re going to get! the element of him being spontaneous and can reach all ends of the spectrum from animation really appeals to me. deep down, i feel like he is a very sensitive soul, things bother him quiet often but he masks. and with that mask he makes a great conversationalist because i believe he knows how to be appropriate with pushing back biased thoughts to be able to hear out others - however i feel like he runs into people who don’t understand or are willing to hear him out in return. sure he has trouble expressing things from time to time, but i think it’s because of the emotions and thoughts that course through him are nondefinitive. you have to know and learn tae to get and understand tae. (not disregarding any of the others when i speak this, btw) he is honestly, truly amazing in my eyes and that’s probably one of the main reasons why i feel toward him the most. he can be soft, cuddly, and kind. he as an earth sign supports the stereotypes of down to earth, wise, and also ambitious. also, tae can pull out some ruthless, playful, tactics out of left field because that’s just how he is - and we love all sides of him (or what he wants to show us). his constant creativeness is enjoyable, how many times does tae want to go against the standard? nearly all the time! and he pulls it off! because i feel like tae doesn’t fully care to be the same, he wants to be himself. and that’s so utterly sexy of him you have no idea. (again, you can disagree with me) but sometimes i personally feel like i can be very similar to tae in many ways, with thoughts, feelings, and creative drives. i feel we both attempt to put on our fronts, try to remain humble and respectful. understand we are just humans and we are the same. and also can be quick to call out the suspicious acts so bluntly because our bullshit meter is always running. not to mention, both he and i enjoying being dramatically extra for no apparent reason sometimes. this is how i conclude the fermented idea in my mind that maybe, just maybe, i would make a great friend with tae if i ever had a chance.

mr. min yoongi.

this many radiates comfort and i feel like he’s super trustworthy. yoongi is the type of person i feel like i could spill all my beans in front of, not matter how heated, sad, or excited i may be, and he’d openly accept it all. his level of patience is something i strive to have. the way he’s so witty and sharp tongued, smart, and ready to stir the pot from time to time to challenge against you is something i find remarkable and again - enjoyable. in the nicest of ways, yoongi can easily tell you how it is... and if you push the wrong buttons he can probably easily tell you how it be with more tone and harsher words. however, yoongi is straight-forward majority of the time, something i am like as well. he is a pisces with virgo moon so i feel real bad with the inner battles his brain probably constantly undergoes, all those hidden thoughts he doesn’t want to reveal to most. i feel that yoongi has such a massive intuition, a general 6th sense about him. in many occasions, i also see myself with similar personality as yoongi. those ‘tsundere’ vibes, introverted, keeps to ourselves, and randomly once we’re comfortable we ‘act out’ and surprise everyone, but they think it’s funny/cute, etc. yoongi (here i go with my delulu au’s where maggie is y/n) would be the type of person i look up to and always want to talk to - to tell him about what’s bothering me. even if i feel like im boring or annoying, i feel like i’d be able to open up to him fast because i just have that confidence and belief to him. in most cases, he acts in a calmly manner. whereas, once i loose my cool i come out very heated an aggressive because i cannot hold back as much as he can - another thing i wish i was more like. the natural, effortless and relaxed aspect of yoongi, is also very very attractive (all yoongi bias’ are going to agree to this one) but there is no lie when i speak this. he doesn’t showboat, he doesn’t parade around saying he’s the best and have a large ass ego. he is just yoongi who is doin’ himself. we like this shit. you do you booboo!

taegi as a whole:

yes, completely super in love with the friendship of taegi. yes, mainly because these two take all my food from my table and bid me goodnight. however, i love all the friendships between members!!! but because im a taegi fanatic because of the likeness i have to bother individuals, i will comment on their bond bc i love it. golly, where do i start? hm, for beginners... let’s just remember how taegi would typically have the most conflicting ideas, resulting in the most funny scenarios whenever they sometimes were paired up in games or something. (like holding hands because they disagree??? cute) how yoongi - to this day - tends to have a hard time changing tae’s mind / saying no to tae because tae is a wee bit stubborn and want to do / try things out. when tae always wants to be yoongi’s hype man, enjoy yoongi’s rap, verses, highest key is trying to take over all of yoongi’s parts in each rapping song because skrrt skrrt! together, taegi is very touching to me. tae admires and looks up to yoongi in so many ways, and yoongi shows such a concern in undertones towards tae is endearing. like, you can’t tell me this friendship ain’t cute. i would politely throat chop you and call you a fool. yes i’m hella biased, i know this, however i don’t care what you say against me because it is what i like to see and crave a bond like these two beans! taegi; two fun-filled people who are honest, deep, and most importantly... they are true. (not saying anyone is ‘fake’, please shake that thought from your head!!!) im saying like, true in the sense of real people. an archaic expression of being true to oneself, yourself, others, etc. they are true to most of everything (in my mind). both of these two are very commendable and you can learn a lot through them!

this concludes my maggie rants for now. please come by another time after i recharge! i know i haven’t touched every single thing about each category, i know i have more to say but just don’t know how to say it or can’t bring all the thoughts to the table for now. thank you to the anon who prompted this question. and also thanks to whoever ends up reading this response! again, i love all the members in their own special ways! i don’t intend to disregard others but this ask caters to my personal loves. <3

Soccer star

Is a super chill dad

Extremely chill dad

He’s a very laid back dad and enjoys being like that cuz the kids love him for it

But when it came to sports, he’d change

Especially if some nasty parent said that his kid wasn’t good cuz they weren’t enrolled in a team

He’d be angry about it but would find it to be lucky timing when his daughter asked him if she could learn to play soccer like some of the other kids her age

He’s a little worried that she wouldn’t like soccer since she asked to be enrolled in it but would be very surprised and very happy when his daughter actually liked the sport and was pretty good at it

Jeonghan would be the fun dad and roll up to practice with McDonald’s sometimes, but other times he’d give her apple juice or a cookie

Even if he was tired on his days off, he’d lug himself to the backyard to help her practice her kicks and teach her how to steal the ball properly

Bonding time low key morphed from spending lazy days together to playing soccer

Each time she’d win, he’d cheer and run around the backyard

Most likely also scoops her up to toss her a foot or two in the air while calling her his little superstar player

If she got hurt while they were playing he’d scoop her up in his arms to take her inside and clean up her wounds

He lets her pick out the printed bandaid she wanted and is sure to give her booboo a kiss to make her feel better

Sometimes she’d fake getting hurt just to get some kisses and it’s so cute that Jeonghan can’t get upset at her for making him worry like that

Sometimes he’d invite some of the neighbourhood kids or his little neices and nephews to play teams

But more often then not he’ll call over some of the members and their kids to come and play soccer

And part of it is cuz if the teams get split just right then he’d cream the opposing team

He’s gonna be her biggest supporter and will go then extra miles for her

When she’s got a game with the other kids, he’s gonna show up with a banner to cheer her on

If she tripped and fell over the ball he’d be the one shouting “it’s okay sweetie, you’re doing great just keep going!”

Every time she hears her dad cheering for her, she gets this whole new burst of energy to make him proud

When she kicks the winning goal he is out of his seat and running to meet her after she was getting smushed in a group hug by her members before bolting into his arms when she saw him

At this point all he can do is put his little winner on his shoulders to proudly show off his spectacular baby girl

And he’d definitely spoil his darling baby girl and let her pick the restaurant for the victory dinner and that the next time they go to the toy store, he’d get her anything she wanted

#jeonghan fluff #jeonghan imagine #jeonghan drabble #jeonghan scenarios #jeonghan preferences #jeonghan oneshot #seventeen imagine #seventeen drabble #seventeen scenario #seventeen preferences #seventeen fluff #seventeen oneshot #jeonghan x reader #seventeen x reader

Matthew Morrison & Booboo Stewart To Star In ‘Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical’ Live On NBC!

Matthew Morrison is starring as The Grinch in the next NBC Live televised event, Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Musical!

The former Glee star will be joined by Denis O’Hare as his dog Max, and Booboo Stewart, who will play the younger version of Max, Deadline reports.

“In what has been an extremely challenging year for us all, it is an honor to bring some holiday cheer into viewers’ homes this December," Matthew said. "My wish is to bring some Who-ville magic to this holiday season and, while the pandemic presents some challenges in bringing a stage production to life, we are excited to present a unique version of this seasonal favorite in a new creative and imaginative way.”

The musical will be staged at the Troubadour Theatre in London, and will air on December 9th on NBC!

Booboo recently opened up about booking a lot of musical roles (Descendants, Paradise City, Julie and the Phantoms) and how he doesn't intentionally go out looking for them, nor does he think he's good enough for the roles.

"I have been against every single time I get an audition to sing, I'm always like, 'No,'" he told TooFab. "It's actually really funny I keep doing these parts. It's never a key factor, it's just the material itself and the people involved with it."

"Literally, whenever something comes up where I have to be singing, in my head I go, 'No, I'm not good enough. I don't think I'll be able to do it,'" Booboo added. "Then, somehow..."

As the garbage fire year of 2020 continues, I have been struggling to find something to fill the Schitt’s-Creek-sized hole in my heart.

Which, come to think of it, replaced the Parks-and-Rec-sized hole in my heart prior to that. I’ve always been a sucker for “soft” television, but with everything going on the world, whatever tolerance I had for heavier fare has disappeared completely. Like, yeah, I’d love to catch I May Destroy You or I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, but I just. Can’t. Handle. Them. Right now, anyway.

I do have some old standards to fall back on-- Bob’s Burgers, The Good Place, The Great British Baking Show, and Kim’s Convenience (bless you, Canada) work just fine. But with so much time at home, I’ve been getting antsy for new, soft, comforting content.

Then I watched Julie and the Phantoms on Netflix.

And I loved it SO. MUCH.

(Warning, since this is a family-friendly show: profanity ahead.)

Which, I have to admit, I’m kind of embarrassed about. Like, look: I fully own up to the fact that my tastes aren’t exactly refined or mature. I’m one of those contemptible “childless millennials”, after all. There are things on my Netflix and Spotify lists that would make film buffs and hipsters cry.

But what I will give myself a pat on the back for is that I’m extremely open-minded when it comes to any sort of art consumption. My tastes are super-varied, and I don’t have the burden of worrying about what is “socially acceptable” for me to watch. I can watch Barry and Fleabag just as happily as I can watch Sarah & Duck (literally, a show for preschoolers that works better than any anti-anxiety medication I’ve tried) and old episodes of Tiny Toon Adventures.

Regardless, there’s embarrassment. Which is not about the fact that it’s a cheesy, High-School-Musical-esque, pre-teen friendly series, actually (... okay, maybe a little), but because the aging freakout is real, my friends. Hitting the “Oh-My-God, I’d-Have-To-Play-the-PARENT” period of your life is fucking rough.

Basically, in the words of Roger Murtaugh... I’m too old for this shit.

But I’m trying to tell myself that 1) Generation Z is delightful and I refuse to feel guilt for appreciating them, 2) god knows we’re all watching Stranger Things without embarrassment, and those kids are, like, twelve, and 3) now that I’m apparently ANCIENT, I’m supposed to stop caring about what other people think.

So: Julie and the Phantoms made my heart grow three sizes and I loved it a whole lot.

Quick synopsis: Julie, our hero, is a performing arts school student who is grieving the death of her mom and unable to continue making/playing music because of it. One day, three ghosts of teenage boys who were in a mid-90’s rock band show up in her garage. They form a new band (insert title of show here) and help Julie rediscover her love of music, while she helps them navigate the afterlife. Bonding occurs, lessons are learned, the power of friendship is discovered, you get the idea.

And okay-- at its surface, it’s family-friendly entertainment, you know? Cute story, funny moments, the music is catchy, the whole cast is super talented (and, hey, can actually play their instruments! Whaddaya know!).

But the CHARACTERS! THE SOFTNESS! THE REPRESENTATION! If this is how young adults are going to written from now on, sign me the fuck up.

First of all, the two female leads of the show are women of color-- Julie (Madison Reyes) is Latinx and her best friend, Flynn (Jadah Marie), is Black. That alone is (sadly, STILL) noteworthy, but I literally wanted to stand on my couch and yell about how wonderfully self-assured, smart, mature, strong, and competent these girls are. Julie, in particular, is just… she’s just so cool, you guys. She never once has to rely on anyone else but herself to get shit done, and she takes responsibility for her own actions. The girl very clearly knows her talent, capabilities, and worth, and PHEW, do we need to see more young women like her on our screens! Like, yes, the boys support her, but they’re complete equals. Julie doesn’t need any male saviors up in this business. She’s got this. I LOVE HER. I SOMEHOW WANT TO BE HER WHEN I GROW UP, EVEN THOUGH SHE’S LIKE HALF MY AGE (oh GOD. I’m so OLD).

In fact, throughout the series, the importance of honesty, respect, and healthy support is repeatedly emphasized. There’s no dependency issues here, and lying of any kind is clearly forbidden. Which I loved, because the whole “teen lying to everyone” storyline has been done to death.

Then there’s the three boys of Sunset Curve-- Luke (Charlie Gillespie), Alex (Owen Joyner), and Reggie (Jeremy Shada), i.e. the messengers of destruction for toxic masculinity. THIS IS THE MALE FRIENDSHIP PORTRAYAL WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR, PEOPLE. They’re so nice to each other! They’re so supportive! They’re tactile, openly emotional, and completely devoid of judgment of any interests or behaviors that don’t follow male social standards. Bless the Age of the Soft Boys, may their reign be unbreakable and everlasting.

Oh, and Alex is openly gay. It’s not just hinted at-- he’s out and proud, with an adorable crush/pre-relationship with a skater boy named Willie (Booboo Stewart). And, apart from a quick mention about Alex’s parents being homophobic, the show pretty much takes the Schitt’s Creek route-- all love and acceptance, with not much of a thing made of his sexuality at all (in fact, there’s enough evidence that none of the boys are completely straight, and I’m here for that, too).

And if all of that isn’t enough of a cuddle to the heart for you, THERE’S MORE:

Julie’s supportive, soft dad

Reggie’s immediate, one-sided bond with Julie’s supportive, soft dad and her brother

Julie and Luke totally have crushes on each other and it’s SO SWEET but completely age-appropriate, good job guys

I’m a sucker for good harmonies and the band HAS ‘EM IN SPADES

Flynn being HBIC the entire series

Julie’s crush Nick being very realistically awkward and dopey in the shadow of Luke’s arms (Nick, dude, lose that HAT, I beg of you)

A surprisingly moving side-plot/song about Luke’s parents

Alex just wanting to dance, and also being a high-key feminist and calling out the others when they slip up

EVERYONE’S JUST SO FUCKING NICE, OKAY

So yeah. Shut up. It’s wonderful and pure, and I WILL TAKE ANY SOFTNESS I CAN GET IN THIS HELL YEAR, WHEREVER I CAN GET IT.

In conclusion, Kenny Ortega can have my entire soul if he wants it, for not only this but also Hocus Pocus and Newsies.

Completely Unnecessary Afterword:

Being old enough to remember 1995-- and, specifically, what was popular that year-- has brought up some important questions regarding the Sunset Curve boys:

We know they died in ‘95, but like… when? Did they get to see Empire Records, for Christ’s sake?! Did they see Casper, because, I mean, they’re basically the Devon Sawas of 2020? Were they spared their contemporaries’ fate of constantly over-quoting Billy Madison and Tommy Boy?

OH MY GOD, DID THEY HAVE AOL SCREEN NAMES, AND WHAT WERE THEY??

What are each of the guys’ favorite song off of Boyz II Men’s “II”? This is possibly the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Did they die before Jagged Little Pill came out? That would kind of break my heart. Not that I expect Julie to start portraying Alanis-levels of anger/angst, but ‘95 was a YEAR for women in rock. Garbage, Hole, No Doubt, PJ Harvey, The Cranberries, Veruca Salt, Bjork, and countless others-- they all had massive hits that year. I love the idea of Julie and the guys sitting around the garage listening to all of those women for inspiration. Can we have a resurgence of female-led rock bands taking over the charts, please?

On a much more serious note, given where the AIDS crisis was in ‘95, it’s no wonder Alex is a nervous wreck. It’s not really something I expect the show to delve into, but man… getting transported to 2020 might’ve been a bit of a blessing (not that things are great now, but y’know, medical progress).

How in the world did none of them fall victim to the whole “white boys dressing hip-hop” trend back in ‘95? I mean… Clueless got it right. (Wait, did they make it to Clueless??)

ns / fw headcanons for extreme dom ! byakuya

i daydream about a super dominant byakuya let me be real with you

part of me doesn’t think it fits his personality but the sub in me is just 🥵

- oH

- we talking some 50 shades of grey shit alright

- alright, if you take christian grey's character and make him better

- you would have byakuya

- he's probably hella into bondage

- i don't see him as the kind of guy who's into teasing or anything like orgasm denial

- but he probably l o v e s overstimulation

- in fact i would say that the only times he goes down on you is either to make you cum four or five times just on his tongue

- or as a way to remind you that no matter how rough sex with him may get, that he still cares deeply about you

- to be honest if he were to be super hardcore sexual i can totally see him as the kind of dom who's not afraid to punish you in public

- nothing major, i doubt that he would go so far into voyeurism, but he would probably not think twice about smacking your ass to remind you to behave

- ah, he probably collars you as well

- i can see him as the kind of guy into petplay

- you've been into a few awkward conversations explaining the collar around your neck as a simple styling choice

- because when people see it, they immediately look up at byakuya like they just know what's up

- and you have to be there like " no no i just wear it because i like it "

- even though that's a lie, but it keeps you from looking weird or like an easy target in public, so neither you or him minds it

- if the collar proved to be a problem then he would confine it to the bedroom or house honestly

- he's not the kind of guy to take risks with your safety, especially since there are a lot of perverts

- going back to his kinks, i can say with 100% certainty that he loves having you on his lap

- no matter what either of you are doing

- sometimes it's not even kinky

- if you're both just sitting at home with nothing to do, you're on his lap

- very often you accompany him late at night while he's working on paperwork just sitting on his lap

- even in public, if you were comfortable with it, you were expected to sit on his lap

- and he really loves having a grip on your hips, just holding you in place

- it reminds him that he's in charge, as if he needed to be reminded

- hickeys are also probably a constant occurrence

- you've gotten pretty good at hiding them at this point

- also,, he's probably very into degradation

- he would never say something that would actually hurt your feelings

- but he does like calling you a slut or a whore, but ONLY for him

- like you're not an actual whore, you're just a whore for him

- there's a difference in those statements and he makes sure they're separated because you are not a whore

- and aftercare is meticulous with him

- during aftercare, which is usually just him taking care of your booboos and telling you how great you were while making you drink some water

- he talks about performance and how he could do better next time, while giving you feedback as well

- communication is key in your relationship, especially in the bed

alright im just gonna post my predictions for the rumble early so i don’t forget like ive done previously okay, great. (also this is long sorry!)

asuka & charlotte flair (c) vs shayna baszler & nia jax for the women’s tag team championships: shayna & nia (new champs)

i love asuka. i love charlotte. with that said... they shouldn’t have the titles. they’ve done fuck all with them, they both have their different feuds that don’t concern the titles at ALL, and the raw women's championship has low-key taken a back seat to that over the past few weeks. considering i feel like they’ll give al*xa the title sometime soon, the best move is to fix the titles back to shaynia so they can feud with mandy and dana, charlotte can feud with lacey and ric, and asuka can get a last hurrah with the title before they inevitably have her lose to al*xa.

bonus prediction: lacey and/or rick will come out to cost charlotte specifically.

drew mcintyre (c) vs goldberg for the wwe championship: goldberg (...new champ 🙃)

i want this prediction to be wrong SO BADLY. i don't want goldberg to win. he’s outdated, he can be dangerous, and his time has passed in the ring. he’s got that old-school mindset that the undertaker has, where they long for the days of wrestlers dying at age 40 and bullying other rising stars. he’s repeatedly taken slots from deserving wrestlers for no reason, and for anyone who thought brock was a part-time champ, goldberg is the literal DEFINITION of a part-time champ. we saw it last year pre-covid, and we saw it when he beat kevin owens. he just fucking sucks. and ive p much stated that i think drews reign is boring, even if i like the guy... with all of that in mind... he boosts the ratings, and corporations love ratings. even if it’s not drew’s fault, raw ratings have been down by record amounts, and a corporation is gonna do anything to bring them back up, especially with the recent speculation that usa is gonna host other sports that will compete with wwe for attention. ugh.

roman reigns (c) vs kevin owens for the universal championship in a last man standing match: roman reigns (c)

it’s ROMAN REIGNS. do i gotta explain this one? this man is not losing this early in his reign.

sasha banks (c) vs carmella for the smackdown women's championship: sasha banks (c)

PLEASE GIVE SASHA A LONG TITLE REIGN. no one wants to see her drop it to carmella...

30-men royal rumble for a championship opportunity at wrestlemania 37:

first choice: keith lee

first, if drew wins, keith is the perfect person to dethrone him imo. fresh talent, with fan support... he has the opportunity to be a major star if he gets a good title reign. on the other hand, if goldberg wins... i do low-key wanna see keith demolish goldberg in under two minutes... for the economy...

second choice: edge

i know i preach about new superstars getting a chance but let me be a hypocrite for a second... edge supremacy in 2021... all i'm sayin is imagine edge vs reigns at wm37... dream match material right there.

third choice: jey uso

IT’D BE INTERESTING. it’d be interesting to see jay win and watch the struggle to see if he should branch out and go to raw so he doesn’t have to face roman, or if he should turn on his cousin and challenge for the championship (and maybe even win it for a brief run?). it’d be interesting. plus reigns vs uso is always a banger so i wanna see reigns v uso iii.

bonus!fourth choice: jimmy uso

I want the bloodline. gimme the bloodline. let jimmy lose at mania and give. me. the. bloodline.

30-women royal rumble for a championship opportunity at wrestlemania 37:

first choice: bianca belair

this is the year of belair. she’s got the star power, she’s got the fan support, she’s got the talent, and she’s got the entire wrestling world’s attention (even if the attention isn’t great, *cough cough* madi wrenkowski *cough cough*). she seems like a clear winner to me. they can’t continue this bayley feud forever, no matter how entertaining, and it’s time to put her in title contention as a mainstay of the smackdown roster. i will be extremely surprised if bianca doesn’t win here.

second choice: naomi

look, it’s out of left field... but give naomi her shot. it’s been years since she’s held a title, she’s got the fan support and the talent, she blows up on twitter every time she returns because everyone legitimately adores her even if they don’t watch wrestling. she had mainstream celebs, who don’t watch wwe and didn't know her previously, wanting to see her succeed. i really want to see them take advantage of that for once, but this is probably a long-shot pick.

third choice: alexa bliss

i don’t want alexa to win please don’t let alexa win, i would legitimately rather see ronda return and win it all... but i feel like they’re setting her up for a win.

bonus!rumble predictions:

charlotte, peyton, and lacey are all eliminated within a one-minute period. charlotte eliminates peyton, lacey takes the opportunity to eliminate charlotte, and either charlotte pulls lacey over with her or someone takes advantage of lacey’s gloating to throw her over.

naomi returns and blows up social media again, promptly gets ignored by wwe if she doesn’t win until halfway through the year. she deserves better.

omos eliminates someone, possibly to save aj from elimination.

billie kay either saves a member of the riott squad from elimination, or causes a member of the riott squad to be eliminated.

r truth gets eliminated the fastest from some 24/7 shenanigans.

they tease a fiend reappearance but it doesn’t pan out and it’s just alexa messing with randy to cause his elimination.

none of the teased bt sport entrants actually show up and it turns out we're all booboo the fool 🤡.

#im gonna be so WRONG with all of tjese 🙃#watch it be a ronda/braun rumble win #worst timeline #wwe #wwe predictions #royal rumble predictions #long post

Could you do an OTP tag w Estela and MC?

Sure thing, booboo! There’s an Angst ask here and I’ll do the relationship breakdown here!

How did they meet? On the plane to La Huerta, MC was sitting next to Diego, trying to keep calm, when they caught sight of Estela, all the way in the back of the plane, and even as it shivered and shook in midair, free falling from thirty thousand feet, she didn’t bat an eye. MC’s first thought was that ‘She’s intense and beautiful, how can she be so calm?!’ Estela’s first thought when she saw MC was ‘At least they’re not as annoying as everyone else here.’

Who developed romantic feelings first? MC, because Estela is powerful and competent and fearsome but is also the cutest thing they’ve seen in their life, why wouldn’t they think she’s incredible? Estela didn’t want to let herself feel anything for MC, but when they came after her in the jungle, she finally let herself acknowledge that she did.

Who is their biggest “shipper?” Diego and Craig put money on the two of you getting together.

When did they have their first kiss and under what circumstances? They had their first kiss the night before the Watchers attacked when MC finally bucked up the courage to ask Estela to their room. Estela felt conflicted because she thought that MC deserved someone ‘normal’, but she couldn’t deny her feelings anymore.

Who confessed their feelings first? Estela, when the two of them were hunting for the King Crab, and Estela hinted very intently about the depth of whatever connection the two of them seemed to have. MC is forever pissed that the crab interrupted them before they could reciprocate.

What was their first official date? Their first ‘official’ date happens once they get back from the island, where MC takes Estela on the most cliched, overdone date ever, with chocolates and flowers and fancy dinner and a movie and coffee after...the whole nine yards. It makes Estela’s year.

How do they feel about double dates/group dates? Neither one of them is particularly fond of it, they’d prefer to just spend time together away from other people.

What do they do in their down time? Estela, depending on her mood, will insist MC spar with her, or the two of them will sit in front of the TV with laptops on their laps and not speak to each other unless it’s to complain about the characters onscreen. It’s a very companionable relationship

What was the first meeting of parents as an official couple like? Estela never lets MC meet her uncle. At all. MC’s parents, however, love Estela, and even though they privately find the lack of history strange, they say nothing about it and always treat her warmly.

What was their first fight over and how did they get past it? Their first fight was over MC coming after Estela in the jungle when she left them to hunt the King Crab, and they resolved the issue when MC made her laugh.

Which one is more easily made jealous? MC and Estela don’t really get jealous but are both known to be more tactile when they notice someone’s flirting with the other.

What is their favorite thing to get to eat? Estela is usually a health nut, but she also loves getting tamales from street vendors, there’s this particular food truck she follows on twitter that she adores and knows the proprietor of by first name. MC is a bit weirder with their tastes, the typical college experimenter, but they swear by anchovies and pineapple on pizza.

Who’s the cuddly one? What their favorite cuddling position? They’re only extremely cuddly in the rarest of circumstances, but the basic rule of thumb is that the safer and more comfortable they feel, the more ‘all over each other’ they are. Their favorite cuddling position is Estela sprawled on top of MC in bed.

Are they hand holders? Not usually, but on occasion, yes.

How long do they wait before sleeping together for the first time? They sleep together before they’re ‘officially’ together, but after that, they have sex a couple more times before they leave the island. Once on a happy occasion, once on an angsty, maybe-by-this-time-tomorrow-we’ll-both-be-dead occasion.

Who tops? Usually Estela, she has a fear of letting go of her control, but sometimes, sometimes, she likes giving MC the control.

What’s the worst first they’ve ever gotten into? Their absolute worst fight was over how to handle their ‘last battle’ before they got off the island. MC wanted to pull a self-sacrifice and Estela was deeply set against it, and they screamed at each other about it. But MC’s mind was made up. They said their goodbyes, slept together for the last time, and MC was gone before Estela woke up. MC made it out alive, and Estela is grateful, but she and Diego keep a tight lid on that sort of behavior from MC.

Who does the shopping and the cooking? MC usually, but Estela’s been teaching MC how to cook certain things Estela remembers her mom making.

Which one is more organized and prone to tidiness? MC and Estela are pretty evenly matched. Estela likes things to be tidy because you never know when you’ll need something in a hurry, and MC likes things to be tidy because it looks nice.

Who proposes? MC. It hadn’t even crossed Estela’s mind that MC might want to marry her and she feels a little foolish that she hadn’t thought of it, but she says yes when, two years after coming back from the island, MC proposes over dinner at their apartment. She has a few very intense worries about whether or not they should get married, but they both want to so, in the end, she says ‘Fuck it’ and marries them.

Do they have joined Bachelor/Bachelorette parties or separate? One joined party with their friends, but it’s a very low-key party, mainly drinking and board games, because it’s Estela’s favorite thing in life when she gets to just relax.

Who is the best man/maid of honor? Any other groomsmen or bridesmaids? Diego for them both, he’s very honored.

Big Ceremony or Small? Small. Just them, MC’s parent’s, and their friends. It’s a very sweet ceremony.

Do they have a honeymoon? If so, where? MC decides to take Estela to Orlando to spend an entire week at Walt Disney World. It’s without a doubt the best week of her life, she can’t even tell you. (Pro tip: Disney? The best with honeymoons, look at all these pictures of princesses and character meet and greets they set up for us, and we had a private dinner in Cinderella’s CASTLE?!?! OMFG.)

Do they have children? How many? Estela decides out of the blue she wants to have a kid, about five years after she and MC get married. MC smiles and says, “Yeah, ok.” Then end up have three kids, two girls, and a boy, as well as two cats and a dog. They’re a large and very happy family.

AMAZING request, thank you so much.

Ferry and Tallinn

On Friday, we had a rather leisurely morning in Helsinki, finally having gotten a good night’s sleep! Alia had gone out the night before, and the unfortunate upshot of that was that Rowan was determined to stay up until she got home, which, luckily, happened at 11, and then he zonked out. He’d been standing in his bedroom window, looking down the street--not only at the trams and cars and people--but specifically for Alia to walk down the street.

So, Friday morning, then, Cece woke up early and so did Alia and they played and stretched and Alia said her back was sore and Cece said “I will kiss it” -- always ready to kiss a booboo :) A really tired Rowan stayed sleeping despite all the noise. Once he woke up, we had about an hour before we needed to head out the door to the ferry.

The apartment in Helsinki was ALL white. I don’t think I mentioned this. It was a three-room apartment in a long brick building with like eight major stairwells and three tall-ceilinged floors. Our apartment had an entry foyer (very small) and a bathroom, plus a kitchen and two reasonably sized rooms; each was a bedroom. But, seriously, everything was white. It was a real Scandinavian aesthetic. Anyway, I really felt compelled to clean it and sweep, etc., before we left. Once we left, we felt pretty pulled together and on time.

We drove down to the harbor and found our ferry terminal, but there was some uncertainty about when we really needed to queue up to be ready for the cars to start moving on to the ferry. We parked with like and hour and forty-five minutes to go before departure, and Eric thought we’d have time to walk to get a snack, but turns out, as soon as we were six minutes away from the car, Alia texted to say cars we moving, so we had to high-tail it back. We got in the car and had to slowly move forward until it was our turn to get on the ferry. On this ferry, we all got to stay on the van until we were in the car area of the ship (what is that called?). Our ferry ride was 2 hours long and the kids wanted to run around the ferry the whole time, up and down ramps, stairs, etc., but I tried to keep that to a minimum, but we really had to all three adults switch off looking after them.

Alia was smart and got in the cafe line right away, and so I later cut in line and joined her. I got a salmon, some kind of mysteriously prepared vegetables, and potato casserole. The kids had yogurt and apples, and I swear Cece had a whole fillet of salmon. The girl will eat salmon all day if allowed. Finally, after about an hour and fifteen minutes, passengers on the ship had moved around enough that a window seat was available, so the kids got to see us arriving to Tallinn harbor.

We made a stop at the Airbnb host’s apartment on the way to our own apartment (which is their old apartment which they keep as a rental, while they’re trying to sell it). They offered to let our kids borrow some toys. They had a nice-sized seemingly hundred-year-old apartment, and a one-year-old baby! Tiina was so nice and let us borrow a little “police car” toy and two bags of Duplos. Tiina’s mother came by at the end and I guess Cece got a strong grandma vibe from her, so she just hugged her legs.

Our place was only 3k away, and it is in an old “Estonian style” building, which means wood, I gather? I am trying to figure out what is customary here, in terms of how their old home looks. So, there are some old concrete or large block buildings that look like they need a good painting and power washing -- the same goes for the old houses. The paint could use refreshing, but it’s odd-- as Eric noted-- that the exteriors really belie some fancy interiors. I can’t quite figure it out. I guess Helsinki is sort of like that, but here it’s more extreme.

We had some slight confusion finding where the key was, so we had to call Thomas, the Airbnb husband, who was in Germany, and he told us where to look. We got situated inside and then jaunted over to the grocery, which is always fun in a new country, and then we returned the groceries home and then walked over to the Old Town, though I figured that was kind of a “big ask” for the kids, since it was already 6 p.m. They had a snack on the way, and then, once deep in the streets of the cobble-stone laned, extremely-old building part of town, we spied a vegan restaurant that seemed pretty fancy, but really well priced (we marveled at that several times since arriving-- we bought a ton of groceries, including wine, for $35). We able to get a table, but outside (we’d have been out of luck if we didn’t agree to sit outside), and it was a little cold, but they had blankets. The kids had a hard time hanging in there, but managed, but barely ate, so it was more granola bars, dried cherries, and bananas on the way home. The food at the vegan restaurant was beautiful and delicious. Eric, Alia, and I all marveled at how delicious it was.

We did another loop out of the Old Town on our way back and then--part way back-- Cece lost (or, threw out) one of her shoes, so Eric pushed them back to find it. Once we were home, the kids showered and then zonked out for bed-- not without some naughty, far-too-tired behavior! Tiina stopped by and we had a nice chat with her and then Alia set the sauna timer for seven hours later so she could sauna this morning (which she did and thought was awesome).

Everyone had a great night’s sleep last night. Hooray! Today will be another day of adventuring, though it will be primarily tourists in town I think because all of the locals are in the country, celebrating their Midsummer holiday.

Rob’s Jury Question/Answer(s)

Congrats you two on making it to the finals.

Zack

I respect your game. You were able to survive many tribal councils where you were a target, yet you also remained low-key at the same time. You were loyal to your alliances and weren’t fake. You didn’t try to talk to me which I weirdly appreciate because you wouldn’t have to lie to me, you weren’t going to betray me because we weren’t really close and there was really no need to talk to each other.

I told the jury about what you did at the final 5. It’s a game move you made, but you wanted me to keep it quiet even here. I think it benefited you so I want you to own up to the fact that you gave your idol to me. You told me that you were voting me out, which is a plus in my book even if it is some obvious kiss-assing because that means you’re honest and I appreciate it when people are honest. The jury: *laughs.* You said I was going to win but I really wasn’t I was spot on about what the jury was thinking of me,

I want you to describe your relationships with the jury and Amir. It (better) can be long, I want honest opinions of what you thought of them, how they helped you out, why you went against them. That’s it from me, good luck.

Amir

*Cracks knuckles*

It’s no surprise that the cast gets leaked, especially with this season. I found out three people who were playing this season before it started. Jaiden, Luke, and you. I did my research, looked through your old confessionals in Transylvania, asked around about you. My analysis was that you were a very charming guy, you got people to think they were tight with you, and then you would cut them loose. Now I look like the biggest Booboo The Fool. You would say, “Rob! I feel like I tell you things but you don’t tell me anything.” And that’s the reason why. I didn’t want to get close to you, I didn’t want you to betray me, I didn’t want to be that idiot who thought you were his best friend in the entire world just for you to backstab them. I was literally afraid of this happening, and what do you know, it does, because I’m a fucking genius.

I always wanted to meet you, and when we were cast in Clash of the Titans 4 it was the best opportunity because I could get to know you and become your friend, get close to you to where you would want to work with me in this game as well. Where there game intentions? Yes, but you were a really caring guy and I did like you on a personal level.

I was sad that we weren’t together originally, but then we went on to new Magyi. You became my closest ally, the person I wanted to make the end with, the person I was playing this game for, the person who made me grateful to be in this shitty game. I think that you were at the bottom, but I didn’t want you to be, that’s why I told you about the “majority” because I really did trust you. I told you pretty much everything that was going on in that tribe because you were the only person I really really did trust on Magyi.

We make merge and I’m terrified. I voted in the minority on the previous vote and I went to you alone and afraid. You were there for me. You were there for me whenever I was sad, whenever I needed someone, whenever I needed a friend. I did pretty much everything we talked about. Voting Stevie, Mearl, Tommy, Dom, Crow, SId. We agreed that Mearl had to go after he betrayed me and our trust. You knew I loved Tommy, how he was a friend of mine, and how I was conflicted about that vote. But I vote out Tommy, because of YOU, I told the Cutthropes about the minorities’ plans because of YOU, pretty much everything I did in this game was because of YOU. I told you about Dustin’s idol, I got Tommy, Crow, and Dom to vote for Zack instead of you because I didn;t want you to go in case something went wrong or I decided to go with them, I told you about basically everything that could have a relevance to us and our games. At final 5, Zack makes me promise not to tell ANYBODY but I immediately tell you what happened. And that’s because you were my number one, my ally, my comrade, my best friend. I tell my friend everything, and at the F4 she said it might be smart to take you out as the biggest threat. I shut her down so fast, you’ve been my closest ally in this whole game, you said you were going to play your idol on me at the F5, I thought you had my back 100%, you were realistically my only chance at survival, and I really thought you would tie it for me. People told me how you couldn’t be trusted, how I had to vote you out, but I didn’t want to believe them, I thought that that’s not the Amir that I’ve gotten to know, I know he has my back and is looking out for me. Turns out, I was wrong. I would have been okay if you had at least told me you were voting me out. But you didn’t, you said “I’m voting Dustin right the fuck now,” And now everything just feels fake. Our alliance feels fake. Our relationship feels fake. You seem...fake.

Did I debate cutting you at F3 if I had the chance? Yes. Was it realistic? Knowing me, no. I would have been fine losing to you in the F2, I probably would have taken you to the F2 because I don’t give a fuck, I wanted to guarantee one of us winning. Can I say that now? Honestly, I’m not sure. Do I sound like a hypocrite? Yes. Do I care? Not really. You probably thought if you voted me out I would be a vote for you, and you probably will be right.

You won two challenges this season. Congrats. Let’s see if you can win one last one.

https://68.media.tumblr.com/4499cf271ad1d05d805952c43166a151/tumblr_o5nssqyw9D1v9j7mmo4_250.gif

I am you, you are the ketchup bottle, your lies were the ketchup.

You’re doing the #WasteHerTime2017 Challenge, inspired by a queen. I would like you to analyze ALL of our conversations and post the messages where you wasted my damn time, where you told me bullshit, where you were being fake. I want timestamps, I want receipts. You can write and include anything you would like about the messages you post.

I also want you to be honest with me. Tell me the things you hate about me, the things that annoy you about me, that piss you off. I can tell there were times you were mad at me and I want you to be upfront about it.

I say all of this with very harsh love, because at the end of the day, I do love you. I do want to be friends. But that does not guarantee you my vote.

Good luck,

From Booboo the fool.

Okay this is the first question we got and its the last one im answering. I basically wrote an entire draft of this question doing what you told me and structuring this answer and you know what im not sending that. Im going to just go into a headspace where i can be genuine with you, and im going to type out how i feel, and them im not going to reread this answer, im not going to edit it, im just gonna send it. Rob, im not fake. Our friendship was not fake. I care about you so much as a friend, maybe to you my actions in the game didnt reflect that and i don't even know where to start. Your friendship meant a lot to me, and im not ignorant to the fact that i could not have made it this far in the game without you. You were extremely loyal and i felt like had someone who was truly looking out for me. Rob i was so loyal to you for almost the entire game and multiple times i did have the intention of taking you to the end completely, but when final 4 hit, i struggled so fuck hard rob i really really struggled. I told you i was going to tie it and i planned on it but it was all because of how much i cared about you but in the back of my mind i knew it was a bad move, i knew it was a final 3 and id be pissing off the 2 people that id go to final 3 with, and it would mean that id be solidifying my position as a 3rd place for the second time in a row. I really really had to seperate game and emotion and while that my biggest strength, i absolutely hate the fact that i hurt you, rob idk what else to say to you i cant make you believe me but i was there for you through everything. I was never someone who tried to make you dependant on me, whenever you brought up your problems i only ever told you that you were a smart guy who deserves self confidence, i always tried to help being a happier person and to truly love yourself and see yourelf as a the kind person we all see you as in this game. This answer is getting long af but so was your question so imma just keep but rambling. Rob theres nothing that i hate about you. I delete the first draft of my answer because im not supporting your self destructive question, its a way to hurt me and way to hurt yourself and it completely takes anything fun out of this game. As someone whos preached self love to you, im not going to do what you said and make you hate yourself or hurt your feelings over a jury vote. If you don't wanna vote for me for not exposing your personal messages and being mean you, then don't vote for me. And id be completely lying because i have nothing ill to say about you. Okay, thats all, im sorry, i really really hope you forgive me

Okay! So.. I guess it’s no secret now that yes, I did in fact give Rob my idol to play on himself at final 5. I felt bad because we all attacked him in the immunity challenge and I thought Abel’s idol was actually real so I wanted to give him a fair chance to compete in a fire making challenge and see who really wanted to be here. I didn’t have any intensions on Abel to leave but that is just how the cookie crumbled and I don’t regret doing this for Rob.

Now let me describe my relationship with the jury. I’m gonna be nothing but honest here.

Luke. I’ve known Luke for a little while now and I actually played my first ORG with him. We both just played Switzerland together and believe it or not, we actually worked together. Like I said in my rights of passage, I had all intensions on working with Luke in this game but, shit happens! Looking back now, I think Luke leaving actually benefited my game. There was so much talk about a Switzerland alliance (which was not real but I did want to start one since people already thought there was one) so when people saw that we actually voted against each other, I think that opened people’s eyes that wow, okay, this is actually a whole different game and just because of past relationships, anything can happen. I personally love Luke and love that he like’s all my Facebook/ IG post. A real hunt owo.

Stevie. I’ve played past games with Stevie and.. We never really clicked. We’re both completely opposite people with different interest. We never worked together so I pretty much assumed it would be the same in this game. I tried talking to Stevie and tried connecting with him but the only thing we connected about were bears. But… I’m not complaining! That being said, I respect Stevie and would love to get to know him outside of the game, but in the game, we never worked together and never were going to work together because I couldn’t see myself trusting him after he tried to blindside me. But I’d love to get to know more about him and talk more about bears.

Mearl. Mearl is someone that I knew nothing about. I had no past relationship with him so I needed to start a relationship with him from the start. We would talk from time to time but it would jus be the basic game talk. Like “have you heard anything about the vote?” “Oh I heard so and so say this.” But I was very careful with what I told Mearl because I was petrified of him. Going on the Great Lakes wiki and seeing that he won almost every single challenge, I knew he would be competition. I didn’t want him on my bad side at all because I also feared he had an idol. So I would just do my friendly talks with him without giving out any game information and I was thrilled to see he added me in his majority alliance because I feared being on his radar so bad. I respect Mearl so much as a game player.

Tommy. Knowing nothing about Tommy and hearing people talk about how ‘Cutthroat’ is he actually has been in other games, scared me. I would try to talk to Tommy as much as possible, but it was hard. It was so hard to connect with Tommy. Nothing against him, it’s just, we’re totally different people with not much in common. Tommy can talk for hours and I’m more of a person to just have one daily normal conversation a day. I knew Tommy was targeting me for multiple rounds so when we did talk, I would always try to be very careful at what game talk I would actually say without revealing anything. I slipped up a couple of times though but I backtracked and saved myself. Hopefully Tommy and I can talk after this game and clear everything up that really happened.

Crow. Crow helped my game so much. Without him, I may not even be here. He stuck his neck out for me without even knowing who I was so when Crow left, it was definitely hard. I get Crow is mad right now but I respect him so much as a person and a game player and everything I said to him after he tried to vote me out was just a joke and I meant nothing by it. Crow is someone I would 100% want to be friends with outside of this game.

Sid. I knew a little bit about Sid from what other people told me and I realized he’s actually very trust worthy. I wanted to be on the same tribe as him and when we weren’t, I was so glad to see him surviving Tribals because I knew we could both benefit off of each other. I was super happy when we made merge together and I’m even happier that we developed a friendship out of this game. We both helped each other’s game’s in different ways and I respect him so much. If Sid got to the end, he would be a huge competition to beat and that’s why he had to go when he did. Nothing but respect.

Abel. Rob, like you said, a lot of the cast was leaked. Abel and I applied together and we were both so fucking happy and excited to play together, again. We both just played Switzerland and when we actually started the game we realized how fucking hard this is going to be because it was no secret how close us 2 were in that game. I always saw myself protecting him and I always saw him protecting me. We would both tell each other all the information we had and go on from there. Not only was it nice having a great ally in the game, but it was nice to have a friend in the game that I could talk to about anything, not just game talk. He really did keep me sane.

Rob. I would say our relationship is very.. Odd. We rarely talked but we both saved each other. I think I had no choice but to give you my idol because you voted in my favor so many times when you could have taken me out. Honestly, thank you. I knew from what people were telling me that you actually liked me and I actually really liked you and I never would bring up your name. i don’t regret doing what I did for you and I hope you don’t regret helping me out in this game. You’re such a nice kid with a great personality and I respect you so much that I couldn’t lie to you. I really hope we can start some kind of friendship outside of this game.

Dustin. DADDY!!! I was so glad to see Dustin was playing this game. For some reason, we just clicked from day 1. For me, day 1, it was game time. Dustin and I were talking and giving each other information from the very start. I’m so happy and grateful that I got to actually officially meet him and play with him. He helped my game and I would like to say, I did the same for him. Dustin was such a great ally and I love him so fucking much. He’s someone I can say I became really good friends with inside of this game.

Amir. Ahhh! I never actually thought me and Amir would make Final 2 together. Coming into this game, Amir and I had some bad blood. But we both put that aside and knew we could really help each other in this game and make it far. We were called out day 1 for knowing each other and being friends so I can honestly say I’m shocked we’re sitting in the finals together. I love him so much.

Thanks for your question, Rob, I actually really enjoyed typing this. ;~)

OK, and with that it is now time for our Jury to vote! Jurors, you will be tasked in voting to decide Tumblr Survivor’s 56th winner. Please decide carefully. Your votes are due to your host chat by August 18th @ 8:00 PM EST.

Il Più Felice || Micalessah || June 9th, 2017

This is a Chatzy for Micah and Aless’ DPA where they discover she is pregnant with their first baby.

Alessandra: It must have been around 7pm when Alessandra heard the front door open. It hadn't been long since she had waved off Jameson to work with a ready packed dinner in tow. Brianna was already in her pajamas getting ready for bed, in her room tidying away the remains of the day. It must have been simultaneous, the lifting of each blonde females head in the house at the sound of the car keys, still it was Brianna who was faster, already racing down the stairs before Aless even made it out of the bedroom where she had been putting clothes away. The warm gaggle of voices put a smile on her face as she attempted to catch up with them, finding them in the lounge room wrapped in a cuddle. Leaning down she kissed Micah's forehead and then Bri's before dropping onto the lounge next to them. 'Are you hungry? Shall I put some dinner on for you or shall we wait until this monkey is in bed?'

Micah: Coming home to the warmest of welcomes every day was always one of Micah's favorite things. His arms were already spread wide for hugs before his daughter got to him. He headed back in the direction the little one had run from, Brianna now in his arms wondering how fast she must have come sprinting when Aless was further behind. Knowing that Aless hadn't been feeling well, he decided to stop on the way home for some fresh flowers from Petal Pan, Elfie pulling out an interesting but simple arrangement that would tower over Brianna which had been amusing Tallulah, who was around Brianna’s age. He’d flopped onto the couch and was telling Brianna that he had brought something home for mommy when Aless slipped into his arms. The sound of her voice instantly relaxed him and he returned her kiss, Brianna giggling and demanding kisses from both of them. Before he could answer her questions, however, his stomach growled loudly. “I didn’t get much of a break today.” He spared her the gory details and leaned in for another kiss. “How are you feeling, my angel?”

Alessandra: As Micah's tummy rumbled and Bri burst out into giggles at the sound, Aless couldn't help but chuckle, slipping her hand down to softly pat it as she returned his second kiss. 'Ah! Penso di avere la mia risposta. I will put something on, hmm?' Slowly drawing herself back from his warmth, she smiled a little. 'Still tired, I almost fell asleep in our design meeting today, luckily everyone was too engrossed in their screens to notice. Would you like a drink?' With a last kiss, she wandered towards the kitchen, pulling out a plate and his saved dinner from the fridge, reheating bits and pieces while he spent time with Brianna. When the home-made mushroom and aubergine lasagne was all set out for him on the kitchen island with a cup of ice ginger and lemon water, a small cup of milk out for Bri, she called out for them. 'Are you on call tonight?'

Micah: With a chuckle and a nod to her Italian comment, he pulled her back in for one last kiss before muttering “Thank you” back to her in Italian. He carried Brianna on his shoulders to the kitchen’s island, setting Brianna next to him and pushing the milk to her, waiting for the unprompted “Thank you, mamma” before he answered her question. “Labor and delivery might need me tonight if anyone needs surgery, but it was looking good when I left.” Micah took a moment to bow his head and say grace before digging into the food. Those words danced in his head, the faces of the three quite pregnant women in his hospital. It was a light night, but everyone was on time and in good spirits. Then his thoughts trailed to the future, dinners like this, more children at the counter, and he thought back to their wedding and the reception’s interrogation over when they would be having children. Medical things never bothered him and he found himself counting along, his head tilting to the side as he chewed. “How long has it been since the honeymoon and your last cycle?”

Alessandra: Aless smiled at Bri as she thanked her, moving around the bench to press a kiss to the blonde locks of her daughter, reaching over to touch a hand to Micah's back as he spoke, listening. Just as she was about to move back into the kitchen Less heard his question and paused, a little surprised and how forthright it was, especially in front of Bri. Knowing it was just his Doctor ways, she brushed it off and moved to the fridge and the calendar she had there with both Micah and Jameson's shifts written in it, birthdays and events for them all. Flicking back and forth with a furrow between her brow, it took her a moment to truly count before glancing back across to him, her voice a little dreamy. 'It.. it was before the wedding. Two weeks before.'

Micah: He could see that he’d startled her and he smiled apologetically, not meaning to switch into “doctor mode” on her. He watched her thinking, his pulse thumping as he waited for her reply, already excited about the prospect. As soon as he had his answer he popped out of the chair. His smile from ear to ear, “Car ride?”

Alessandra: turned towards him as he popped out of the chair, reaching out to take his hand as her own heart raced. 'To the hospital? Now?' She glanced from him down to Brianna who was triumphantly licking her milk mustache off her lip and not really paying attention to them at all. Aless hadn't expected anything quite so fast... was that possible? Could she really be? Swallowing, she started nodding, squeezing his hand. 'Let me just get my bag, we'll go. '

Micah: “I’ll do the test myself, in and out and then we’ll know.” He took her hand and pressed her fingers to her lips. He looked at Brianna, “You wanna play doctor and give mommy a checkup?” Brianna immediately perked up, not really understanding the conversation until that point. He’d headed to the car, buckling Aubrianna in while they waited for Aless. “Ready?” He bounced in his own seat with excitement, reaching across the console for her hand and leaning over to kiss her.

Alessandra: was in a bit of a daze as they headed towards the hospital downtown, not quite sure what to make of everything yet. When he took her hand and looked over at her as he drove, she couldn't help but smile back at him. 'Of course it's exciting... but I don't want to get my hopes up. It could be something else.' she squeezed his hand, thinking it might be the stress of everything over the last two months with the wedding planning and juggling work and being a new Mum. Glancing back at their little one, she lowered her voice as she looked back to her husband. 'We're not saying anything, are we?'

Micah: Though Micah knew that technically she could be right, he thought about the batch of sickness and the exhaustion and their inability to keep their hands off of each other. He couldn’t help but be hopeful. “I don’t want my hopefulness to cloud my medical judgement, but, thinking about it, I think we have some signs.” Micah looked at her, her eyes on Brianna, “After the test, I don’t see why not. You’re extremely healthy and you have me. But if you don’t want to tell anyone until you’re showing, I would understand.” Parking the car they walked through the employee only entrance and toward his office. “Do you want me to put Brianna in the care center while we’re here?”

Alessandra: couldn't help how her smile widened when he said 'and you have me', his unshakable belief in medicine and faith comforting her even though she knew the reality of miscarriage was almost 1 in 5 women. 'It would break my heart to tell her and then for something to happen. It would be a heartbreak on a heartbreak I do not think I could handle, Micah.' Lifting his hand up, she kissed his knuckles, closing her eyes as she rested her cheek against them before letting go so he could park safely. Bundling up Brianna out of the car and watching her race excitedly ahead towards the care centre, making Less laugh. 'I don't think we have an option. Amore! Stai andando a giocare? Non saremo lunghi. Vengo a prenderti presto, eh?' The Italian was directed at Brianna as she found the door to the care centre and stopped only to give Micah and Less a cuddle before heading in and calling out. 'Ci vediamo presto mamma e papà!'

Micah: It was Alessandra’s choice to keep it a secret, but Micah was certain that if Aless was pregnant that they would be fine. He kissed Brianna’s head and told her firmly that she was to lay down at 8pm with the rest of the children, even if they would be back shortly after. He kissed her and he and Aless walked hand-in-hand to his office, which had its own bathroom and lounge area. Aless certainly wouldn’t be the only patient he’d helped in his office, now or down the road. He slipped out briefly and popped in with a kit and a tablet. “I brought you the fancy bandaid options,” He winked as he rolled up her sleeve, warned her for the prick, and inserted the needle to take a small amount of blood before entering her information in the system and printing a label for the vile. “Full work up, Mrs. Cartwright. If you’re sick and not pregnant then we’ll know what bug you have.” He placed a pink Hello Kitty bandaid over the little prick and kissed her ‘booboo’. Again, he slipped out, passing her a small bottle of apple juice from his mini-fridge, before he took the vile in the lab and came back to Aless. “I have to take your blood pressure and the like for the rest of the chart, if that’s okay with you. Luckily, when your name is on the building your labs get put to the front of the line.”

Alessandra: couldn't help but laugh when she saw the bandaid options, leaning up and pressing a kiss to his jaw as he distractedly got the syringe ready. Even though he was used to performing the procedure, Aless wasn't used to be on the other end of it, tensing a little as he placed the needle and keeping her gaze firmly fixed on his face to clear her mind. Once the Hello Kitty plaster was firmly in place, she sipped on her apple juice and waited for him to return, wandering around the office before taking a seat in his chair, smiling at all the pictures of Brianna. When he came back, she dutifully held out her arm. 'I hope I'm not pushing anyone back in the line who needs to be first?' Watching as the cuff inflated and then slowly released, she mused mostly to herself. 'On new years eve I never thought I would go from engaged to married to pregnant quite so fast.'

Micah: “Your test practically runs itself. We do many in a day.” It was true, but he didn’t want her to feel bad about getting ahead of other tests. The way he saw it, there should be at least one or two perks to having your name on the building. “The lab tech will call in the results in ten to fifteen minutes. We’ll be able to put it on speaker phone so that we both can find out together.” Micah placed his hands on either side of the office chair and bent down to kiss her before he took a half-leaning-half-sitting stance against his large desk. “Are you upset that life sort of happened all at once for us?”

Alessandra: smiled at the kiss, her fingers finding his shirt and holding him there a minute before letting go, running her fingers over the needle spot to rub away the dull ache. 'Upset? No! No of course not!' Standing up, she gently urged his legs apart a little so she could stand between them, putting her hands on his shoulders and smoothing her fingers over the muscle there. 'Micah, if it comes back positive, I will cry from joy. All of it, everything is just happiness after happiness. From tonight, this... even down to the littlest thing in our lives.' Smiling a little, she leaned in and pressed a light kiss to his lips. 'Besides, I have been in this far longer than you, il mio cuore. I had to wait for you to catch up hmm?'

Micah: His laugh filled the large office and he relaxed into the feeling of her hands on him. Micah’s strong arms wrapped tightly around Alessandra, holding on to her before his palms pressed into her back, lower and lower until his fingers were at the top of her ass. For all the time he had spent attempting to be a responsible boyfriend he felt more boyish than ever for that wound up sexuality now being allowed to be expressed whenever and wherever. “I deserved that.” He laughed. Though he’d known he was attracted to Alessandra immediately he had been extremely cautious to allow himself to label their Monday dates as a relationship because of his history of loving people more than they loved him and not wanting to have Aubrianna feel the heartbreak of losing another mother. Aless had been patient with him and as he looked at her, listened to her voice, experienced the world by her side, he couldn’t be more sure that he’d finally found his little piece of heaven on earth. “At least you’ve give me a lifetime to make up for being such a slow turtle.” Picking her up he spun her around and sat her bottom on his desk. Laughing as he leaned in and placed his hands on her neck and used his thumbs to tilt her chin to up to him so he could steal a kiss.

Alessandra: 'A very wonderful, handsome, funny slow turtle. My slow turtle.' As he set her on the desk, she sat up straight as her eyes closed. Whenever he touched her neck or throat she always felt a little shiver of pleasure run up and down her spine. With her body flexible under his fingers, she met his lips easily for the kiss with her own hands sliding onto his torso and around to his back to pull him closer. 'The best things in life take time... a good wine, the right rise in a fresh dough, ancient oaks, mountains and rivers... and you. You are all the more wonderful for it.' Stealing another kiss, she smiled up at him. 'Will we tell everyone when we're at Byron?'

Micah: He listened to her speak, a string of lovely comparisons in which she included him, but his mouth was busy trailing soft kisses along her jaw and down her neck. Micah’s fingers ran up her thighs, caressing the soft skin that he now had memorized. He took in a deep breath, knowing the exact familiar scent in her hair. It was the same that stretched across their pillows in golden waves. A hum of satisfaction passed his lips as she pulled him closer and he kissed his wife muttering an ‘I love you’ on her lips before he stole another. He didn’t want to think of his family, his mind on one thing, but he also loved that she was already thinking about the possibility of the little glimmer of hope being true. “Yes, all the more reason to celebrate on our little vacation. You think we can make it that long?” Just as he looked at her, a big goofy smile the phone rang. He punched the answer-speaker button, “Doctor Micah Cartwrights office.” The technician on the line had a soft voice, “I have the results, sir. Are you ready?” Micah had already reached for Aless’ hand. “Are you ready, Angel?”

Alessandra: returned each of the kisses happily, her legs curling around the back of his to hold him closer. Smiling at the thought of having to hold onto the news, Less shrugged lightly. 'I think we can.. we have our happy little bubble and I know you love a good prank, I'm sure we could turn this into a cheeky surprise for everyone?' Less jumped a little when the phone rang and her heart started beating instantly faster. Taking Micah's hand, she squeezed it, looking up at him as she spoke loud enough for the technician to hear. 'We're ready.'

Micah: With a chuckle, Micah nodded. She wasn’t wrong, the Cartwright boys were known to be pranksters. Holding on to Aless’ hand he listened intently for what felt like an eternity, but as soon as the words were out of the tech’s mouth Micah was ‘wooing’ and his arms wrapped tightly around Aless in a hug. He scooped his wife up and spun her around the office with glee. After catching his breath, he laughed and kissed her. “I love you so much.”

Alessandra: kept her gaze on Micah's as they waited, her hand tightening on his until the voice sounded. Positive. Before she could even process it, Micah had her up and flying around the room, his burst of joy infectious. Laughing, she returned his kiss and wrapped one arm around his neck to hold on, her other one reaching for the speaker phone. 'Thank you!' Hitting the speaker button to hang up, she turned her attention back to her husband, touching her forehead to his for a moment, the smile breaking out into an bright grin. 'I am going to eat so much food...' Shaking a little, she found her feet if only to step back enough so the could put their hands softly to her stomach. 'I love you, all three of you.'

Micah: “I’ll make you all the food you want. All the food, foot and back rubs, anything you’d like.” He chuckled as he placed his hand over hers, his excitement truly too high to think of anything to say. He’d seen so many friends through their pregnancies and if he had one regret, aside from never being able to find Aubrianna’s biological mother, it was that he hadn’t been able to watch her grow in the womb. As a devout Catholic he saw pregnancy as a real miracle, to be part of such a miracle was something he couldn’t put into words. Instead, he was already rushing into the excitement of this new future for them, “I think some celebration is in order! Shall we go home, eat come gelato on the deck and have some dancing to old records? You’re going to have to pinch me through every Sunday dinner until we are telling people.”

Alessandra: laughed. 'You know that's entirely impractical, I'd have to let go of you sometime or other.' Still trembling a little, she didn't respond straight away, just bringing him in closer and resting her forehead to his with her eyes closed. 'I want to remember this. I want you to remember this. Right here, this moment our new world began.' With a soft kiss to his lips, she had to break it from the smile that just kept breaking out on her lips. 'Okay... yes! Gelato and I think some Jerry Vale?'
