Look for a Specialization That Suits Your Style

Nail bars in Brighton specialize in a range of themes. You will find minimalist salons exclusively focusing on natural nail care to high-end studios that provide intricate nail art and extensions. Get started by first defining to yourself what your expectations are. You can try to fix your needs into a label like classic French manicure, trendy gel design, or luxury spa experience. For example, if you look forward to detailed nail art, it is advisable to visit a nail bar renowned for creative designs. A number of salons in Brighton specialize in bold and personalized nail art that can turn your nails into a versatile piece of conversation.

Prioritize Hygiene and Cleanliness

While choosing a nail bar Brighton, cleanliness should be your top priority. Know that a reputable salon will have a clean and well-organized space, with all the tools sterilized and proper sanitization practices in place. The best approach is to check online reviews or visit the nail bar in person to assess their hygiene standards. It is a smart idea to opt for salons that use disposable nail files and buffers. If there is a visible sterilization station to sterilize their metal tools, it is a good sign that the salon is the right palce for you. So, adherence to cleanliness and health standards is an important consideration to look for in the nail bar Brighton you choose.

Evaluate the Quality of Products Used

Understand the fact that the quality of products used at a nail bar can make a big difference of ensuring the longevity and health of your nails. Many nail bars in Brighton provide vegan, cruelty-free, and non-toxic options. This approach can work gently on your nails and also environmental friendly. When you choose a nail bar that uses only quality products, you can prevent damage, strengthen your nails, and ensure a beautiful, lasting finish.

Consider Customer Service and Atmosphere

The atmosphere of a nail bar can have a decisive role in creating that overall experience. Whether you wish to choose a cozy, laid-back environment or a more upscale and luxurious setting, you will find a long list of options in Brighton. Some nice things to look for in a good nail bar Brighton are a serene environment with soothing music, comfortable chairs, and complimentary beverages. These aspects will ensure that you land a relaxing self-care session. The quality of customer service is also an important aspect to look for in a good nail care salon.

No space || Kim Little

Requests here. Prompt lists here.

"It's fine, you can just sit on my lap."

Summary You and Kim being so in love

Quick little one :) (sorry I had to do that)

You had made plans to go with it with the team to celebrate the end of the season.

Finishing on a big high, a 5-0 win against Brighton, it was definitely a well deserved night out.

The season has been a crazy one at that.

There were lots of firsts for a lot of people, first debuts, first goals, for you, it was first time being captain.

With Kim being on the bench, Leah out injured, and Katie also on the bench, the armband was given to you.

Although that was a major first, it wasn’t the biggest one.

The biggest one was dating a teammate for the first time.

When you joined Arsenal during the 2021-22 season, you knew who your new teammates were.

Some you knew internationally, Leah, Beth and lotte, some you knew from playing against them, some you hadn’t met at all.

There was one person who you had never met personally but had always been intrigued and impressed by.

The way she played, the way she spoke, the way she smiled, it had you in a chokehold even though you’d never met her.

Kim Little.

When you first met Kim, it was, well you liked to put it this way, love at first sight.

As the rest of the 21-22 season went on, you and Kim got a lot closer.

There was a noticeable age gap between you and Kim by five years but when you really started falling for Kim, that worry disappeared.

And she felt the exact same way. At first Kim was weary of the age gap, but she figured love was love, and she loved you.

Near to the end of that season, Kim bit the bullet and asked you on a date.

She thought it out very well and had noted down over the months which foods you liked and didn’t like, and made a three course dinner for you.

As you were leaving her house that night, you said goodbye and hugged at the door, and as you jumped in your car, you realised you forgot something.

Running back to her door, before you void even knock, Kim opened it.

“Y/N, wait! I forgot something!” Kim shouted, not knowing you were just there.

“I forgot something too.” You smiled, walking closer before leaning down to connect your lips.

That was a long time ago now, and although you thought in that moment you couldn’t be happier, you really could.

Within the past year, you and Kim have moved in with each other, which was perfect.

You were having the highest of highs in your career, having been arsenals top goalscorer, with 21 goals, this season.

So when you were asked to celebrate tonight, there was no way you were saying no.

“Y/N, Kim!” An Irish accent was heard from the other side of the club. “What drinks would you like? First rounds on me.”

“I’ll have a margarita Katie, thank you. I’ll come with to help you carry the drinks.” You told her before turning to Kim. “You go find us seats, baby. I won’t be long.”

You pressed a kiss to her cheek before walking over to Katie who was at the bar.

“So, you and Kim got anything planned for later tonight?” Katie asked, passing the time whilst the barman got the drinks prepared.

“I don’t know. It depends on what time we get back.” You responded, a light pigment resting on your cheeks.

“There’s your drinks, ladies. Enjoy your night.” The barman smiled politely, handing you a tray each filled with numerous drinks.

Making your way back to the table, you helped hand the drinks round before looking at all your teammates, noticing there way no more space left.

“Where should I sit?” You asked aloud, most of the girls looking in your direction.

“It’s fine, baby, come sit on my lap.” Kim told you, gesturing for you to come sit on her lap.

You smiled, walking over to Kim and settling on her lap, leaving a kiss on her lips.

She wrapped her arms around you, attempting to rest her head on your shoulder but with the height difference, it made it hard for her to do that.

“Switch?” You asked and she nodded straight away.

Once Kim was comfy on your lap, you finally noticed the girls all smiling at the two of you.

“You two are so in love.”

You might be thinking, Tee, in your 2023 AO3 wrap up post, you said you wrote a ridiculous amount of HP fic this year - but what about reading? Well, thanks for asking, imaginary audience – as a matter of fact, I did indeed read a lot of Drarry fics this year. A fucking horrendous number of Drarry fics, in fact.

Below the cut are some of my favourites that were published in 2023, arranged by word count.

But first, a note: there is truly an overwhelming amount of talent in this fandom and this list only scratches the surface. These fics all gave me something that I was looking for and were my favourites for a number of different reasons. I hope you can find something new to love here (or reconnect with an old favourite), and that you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

If there’s a fic from 2023 that isn’t here but you really enjoyed, chuck it in the replies section so we can all see it!

🌸 AITA for being "obsessed" with my childhood nemesis? – @rainstormradish (4k, M) 🌸

Alrakis I [24M] attended a small boarding school in the UK. There was a boy in my year, a couple of months younger than me, and he became my nemesis after we developed an intense rivalry. My friend [25F] told me recently that our dynamic was "weird back then" and that "it’s even weirder" that I still think about him today. She argued that I talk about him all the time, but I believe the amount I talk about him is reasonable. AITA?

prongymcprongface i completely get what you mean. i had a nemesis (like a school one, separate to my other nemesis) and we had a dynamic super similar to what you are describing. having a nemesis is a very cool and normal thing dw about it. NTA

For eight years, Draco has been content living a quiet life of anonymity in Brighton, dodging pesky seagulls and enjoying the ephemeral boys of summer. And if these summer blokes just happen to resemble Harry Potter, it’s a mere coincidence—despite what his friends say.

But when a repeat one-night stand challenges him to face his desires, Draco thinks he’s finally over his years-long crush.

In the aftermath of it all, Draco opened an antiques shop. Sort of. Mostly, though, what he did was repair work. People brought him their grandparents’ charmed silverware or a pocketwatch which was meant to show the stars at your birth but now only held the time, and he would fix them. It was quiet work, a little lonely, but for the repeated intrusions of one Harry J Potter.

A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two.

But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way.

The streamer men was originally just Tommy, Jack, Tubbo, Eryn, and Freddie—Harry was added to the group in 2023 after the past member (Ranboo, pictured below ⬇️ ) no longer participated after falling out with other member in the group (Tubbo).

Tommy, Freddie, and Eryn are childhood friends (Tom and Eryn are also roommates since ~Late July 2023). Tommy and Tubbo met in their early days of twitch. Jack (former mod of Soothouse) joined thereafter and the OG streamer men were formed. Harry, originally falling under “orbiter” and “friend of a friend”, is now Tom’s roommate.

I.I. Streamer Men: Partners

In order of KNOWN partners we have:

Molly - Tommy’s partner, July 28 2022 - Present

Eleanore Neale - Jack’s partner, ~August/September 2022 - Present

Dani - Freddie’s partner, Late 2022 - Present

Evie - Harry’s partner, March 2024 - Present

Tubbo has states all streamer men barring him have girlfriends. Eryn’s partner is unknown. Speculations of Tubbo’s relationship are not included in this list as it remains unclear (see: Orbiters).

II. Notable CCs

Other streamers with their own fanbases (if there is too much of an overlap, see: Orbiters) include Aimsey, their partner Guqqie, Scott Smajor, and Owen. Eloise and Oli would technically be considered “Orbiters” (as they are not really residents of Brighton, but friends of Brighton CCs) but they have enough presence both in and outside of Brighton to be considered “Notable”. All CCs listed (pictured below ⬇️) have a variety in their fan spaces, and controversies of their own, and as such have been given their own section.

Known controversies/contributions:

Aimsey - Defended another CC (Frognaut) from abuse/stalker allegations, defender of Guqqie (their partner), generally deemed a “clout chaser”.

Guqqie - Yandere Doc, harassment, transphobia to other creators. See the Doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19I63jd7gN9X74AVSkiOwUQvo_76ggc2UVtORqHFQZwE/edit?usp=drivesdk

Scott - Figurehead of MCC, alleged racism/bigotry, and spoke to a 12 year old when he was 20, said 12 deems him a “creep” and a “weirdo”, but opinions on if that was predatory or just inappropriate still continue.

III. Orbiters

Without their own presence or fanbase separate of notable ccs in their space, smaller creators such as Max, Lexie, Piso, Michaela, Bill, and Jonaay (pictured below ⬇️) lie in the limbo of “orbiters”. They have a presence, but nothing substantial in their content or fandom to set them apart from their contemporaries.

Known controversies and contributions:

Max - “Staring at X for an Hour”, Tubbo-Lookalike. Generally annoying, facing flack for clout chasing tendencies.

Lexie - Fireball Friday Host & Dancer!

Coy Piso - Former adjacent to Greenville NC group (a la Mr. Beast), but currently in leagues with Brighton and the Orbiters. Speculated relationship between him and Tubbo. There is currently nothing substantial to that claim.

Michaela - (Former) Roommate of Aimsey and Guqqie. Problematic behavior towards non-white fans and creators.

Bill - Bill. Formerly of the “Cricket Crew” (Aimsey, Bill, Tom, Tubbo, Ranboo, and some others). Took a long hiatus for mental health. Former partner of Rue.

Jonaay - I think he runs Tubbo’s VODS.

IV. “Friend of a Friend!”

This encompasses former Brighton residents (Shubble, Niki), former Orbiters (Beau), and smaller creators who could only be categorized as orbiters of orbiters: Beky, Izzy, Rue, Caiti, (All pictured below ⬇️)

Others (not pictured, because I don’t have that much space): Zoil, Smidge, Krow, Austin.

Shelby is the only one with a more notable fanbase in this group and a larger presence in the minecraft space—however, her presence in Brighton hinges on other creators. Otherwise she is a notable LA creator. Niki would also fall under this distinction if she still had a fanbase or presence in the sphere.

Known controversies and contributions:

Shelby - Over ten year minecraft career, a pintrest outfit made into a person. She is also friends with racists. These co-exist.

Niki - Former partner of Jack Manifold before he began dating Eleanore. Currently an LA resident dating a trump supporter and friends with racists and groomers.

Beau - Amazing Tiktoks.

Rue - Tommyinnit’s former roommate, former partner to Bill. Not the best online behavior.

Caiti - Thankfully, she’s left. Good for her.

Smidge - Former Tommyinnit Anti. “Styled by Smidge series”. It’s bad.

V. Closing Thoughts

This is more of a reference for the more minecraft/minecraft-adjacent creators in the Brighton Sphere. I’m sure corrections and clarifications will be in order soon enough

Additions would be put into a revised “Brighton Masterdoc” AKA: The Brighton Bible.

In the meantime,
