Mummy or Leah

Summary: Based on this request.

Warnings: Mention of death (Rs parents, Cancer) - like in last Paragraph thats it, mention of Arsenal's Injuries last year....

Summary: It's only short, but I hope you like it :) - currently I am working on the McFoord Teen!Reader Fic and the next story in the McFoord Baby Series.

Today you were going to your first England camp since your Mum got an ouchie knee that meant she couldn't play for a long time, Beth and Viv had also hurt their knees, and Laura, something about an ACL. Lia, your Mummy’s friend had moved in to help originally but then she got hurt too. You had only recently been adopted by your Mummy when she got hurt, it scared you, you didn't want her to die too.

“You excited bub?” Your Mum said as she got you out of your car seat, you didn't say anything immediately seeing Lucy.

“Ucy!” you screamed as you ran to her, she scooped you up and threw you into the air.

“I think you’ve got your answer,” Alessia giggled.

“Nice to see you again, little one, where is your Mum?” She asked, picking you up, you pointed to where your Mum was standing with her Arsenal teammates, she started to walk over to them.

“Wessi” you said as you made grabby hands for her.

“That didn't take long,” Lucy said as she handed you over to Alessia.

“Oh Lessi is currently the favourite, isn't she monkey,” Alessia asked you as she tickled you, causing you to giggle.

“Wove Wessi, we go pway? Tooney, Mary?” Alessia looked over to Leah, who nodded.

“Sure monkey, let's go find them, I just need to go take my stuff up to my room,”

“We’ve got it Less, don’t worry,” “Thanks Le.”

__

“Weah,” you said as you reached up and tugged on her shorts, she hadn't noticed you walk in with Mary, you and Mary had run away from Alessia, so she was still outside, “What did you just say bub?” “Weah”

“Who’s that?” you pointed to her, “is that my name?” you nodded, she should know this shouldn't she, “but I’m Mummy, I’m your-” 

“Leah,” Alessia said loudly as she walked into the common room.

“Weah” you repeated after Alessia.

“Oh, I see the problem, do you think you need to call me Leah because everyone else does bubs?” you eagerly nodded your head, “oh, well yes, everyone else does call me Leah bubba, but that's only because I’m not their Mummy, you see I’m you Mum. Aren't I?” you eagerly nodded your head, “Well then, you get to call me Mummy.”

“O-tay” you replied before a big yawn escaped your mouth.

“Nap time?” you shook your head, “I think so bubba, why don’t you see if Beth will let you lie with her and you can nap,” you nodded slowly and your Mum put you down and you toddled over to where Beth was laying on a bean bag, she almost seemed sad.

“Bef, I nap wif you?” “Sure monkey,” she picked you up and you curled up on her torso, your head resting on her chest. 

“Wove oo,” you said to her, causing her heart to melt, a few tears started to well in her eyes, she tried to push them down as she drew circles on your back but when you drifted off to sleep and Leah went over to her, they left her eyes. Leah didn't say anything but wrapped her arms around her as best she could without disturbing you. A year ago today was the day a few of the Arsenal girls had met you, they were visiting kids in the hospital and saw you just walking about, as soon as Leah met you and found out your Dad had just died and that you had no one to care for you, as you Mum had died earlier from cancer, she knew she was going to adopt you. Your adoption was made official after you had been living with Leah for just over a month.

April 19 2022 marked the best and worst day of Leah’s life, it was the day you became hers officially but it was also the day her whole world came crashing down.

Falling Fast - Luke Hughes

Summary: Luke and Tori finally realize how much they need each other. John starts to question if he can really ever get over Tori

content: fluff, LOTS OF FLUFF, slight angst, mentions of sex but no smut, money issues, oc x ex!john marino

wc: 2.2k

notes: PART 4 of the 'done trying' series! go check out parts 1-3 if you haven't already! this one is heavily tori and luke focused. not a lot of riley in this one. also some john moments. but mostly luke and tori!! my favs!!! ENJOY!!

The front door swung open, revealing an exhausted John. Riley was sitting on Tori's lap on the couch, Scooby Doo playing on the TV, a pacifier in his mouth. Tori didn't even look up at the sound of the door, continuing to stroke her son's hair. She'd finally got him settled, after having a meltdown over his bath. Finally dressed in his pjs and calm, Tori was not about to get up and ruin that. She was slightly aware of what had happened at practice thanks to a text from Luke. She wasn't mad at Luke, just John.

"Dada?" Riley mumbled, his eyes half closed.

"Yeah, bubba. Dada's home," Tori whispered back, pressing a kiss to the back of his head.

John entered the living room, leaving a cushion of space between himself and his ex-girlfriend. She didn't even look in his direction, focusing solely on the show playing on the TV. He sighed, earning Riley's attention.

"Dada has boo-boo!"

"Dada's okay, baby. I promise," John forced a smile.

"Hurt?"

"No, no, I'm okay, Ri. Dada just fell at work."

"O-tay," the toddler nodded, cuddling back into his mom's chest. Tori would never get over how compassionate Riley was. He cared about everyone so much, especially his parents. She looked at John through the corner of her eyes, noting the black eye that their son was concerned about.

"There are frozen peas in the freezer," was all she said, returning to humming along with the theme song.

"Thanks," John huffed, moving to the kitchen.

"You ready for bed, sleepy boy?"

Riley nodded, tucking his head into Tori's neck. She stood up, carrying him down the hall to his room. She hummed a lullaby, rocking him until his eyes finally closed. With a click of a button, white noise filled the room and Tori was finally able to breathe easy. At least for a second.

"Here," she frowned, shoving a blanket and pillow into John's arms.

"What?"

"For the couch. So it's a bit more comfortable."

"Oh. Uh, thanks?"

"Yeah. Whatever. If he sleeps all night tonight, feel free to move back out. And don't make a habit of beating up my boyfriend, that's not the model you should be setting for your son."

"Boyfriend?"

"That's all you got from that?" she rolled her eyes, filling up her water bottle.

"So, he's your boyfriend now?"

"Not officially."

"But in your head he is, huh? You really think he can fill that hole in your heart?"

She could feel the anger bubbling in her chest, but took a deep breath, not wanting to argue with Riley trying to sleep.

"Grow up."

John scoffed, "My parents are coming this weekend. Can Riley stay at mine?"

"Why can't they come here and see him?"

"Because they don't..."

"They don't like me. I get it. Sure. I'll pack his bag in the morning."

"Are you gonna go see Pop and Nanny?" Tori smiled, helping Riley put on his little backpack.

"Pop 'n Nanny!"

"Yes! Pop and Nanny! Can Mama have a hug goodbye?"

"Bye, Mama! 'Uv 'oo!"

"I love you too, baby! Be good for Dada!"

"I'll have him back here Monday morning?" John offered.

"Yeah, that works. See ya."

"Bye."

With John gone, Tori could actually breathe. She started by cleaning up Riley's room and then the living room. Making herself a cup of coffee and turning on her favourite movie, "Dead Poets Society." She'd invited Luke to stay the weekend, so now she was just waiting for his arrival.

"Miss me?" a voice rang through the apartment.

She pulled herself off the sofa, throwing her arms around the taller boy.

"Yeah. A lot. Let me see your lip," she pulled his face down closer to hers, inspecting his busted lip.

"You should see the other guy."

"I did. He looks worse," she shook her head, failing to hide her smirk. "I'm so sorry, babe. He shouldn't have gone after you like that."

"It's fine, V. He's just... getting over you. Slowly."

"Trust me, I know. Come sit, I missed cuddling you."

"What else did you miss about me?" he teased.

"Nothing. Just the cuddles. Although you'll always be second to Riley on the cuddle scale. He's a pro."

"I bet he is. How're you feeling about him being with John this weekend?"

"Way to tear the Band-Aid off, Hughes!"

"Sorry, sorry."

"No, I, uh... I don't know. It's fine, I guess. I know he's safe with John, I just... things with John are really shit right now. And I know he's gonna tell his parents and then things with them will get even more shit. It's such a snowball effect."

"You've got me. I'll support you, baby."

"Thanks, Lu," she nuzzled her nose against his, giving him a quick peck.

"I've been meaning to ask you something."

"Shoot."

"Well... we've been on a few dates now... and I, uh, I was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend?"

Tori hesitated, pretending to think over her answer, "Of course I'll be your girlfriend, Luke."

"Phew! You scared me for a second there."

"I just... I'm not sure how kindly John will take to that."

"Doesn't matter right now, love. We've got the whole weekend to ourselves. Where should we start?"

"Movie?"

"Movie it is."

"This is sad," Luke complained, shifting Tori on his lap.

"So? You made me watch Secretariat."

"I didn't make you watch anything."

"Whatever. You know what I meant. Also shut up."

"Never. We both know you secretly love hearing me yap."

"Meh."

"Don't lie, Tori. You could listen to me talk allllll day," he teased.

"Maybe. I'd rather listen to you than Jack... don't tell him I said that."

"HA! I won't... I won't. But seriously, this movie is so sad."

"It's a masterpiece, Lu. You just don't get it like I do."

"Guess I'm not woke like you."

"Shut up. This part is good."

"Why're they standing on the desks?"

"Stop asking questions!"

"I'm just a little lost, baby."

"They're standing in solidarity with their teacher."

"So they got on top of their desks? That'd get you a detention."

Tori leaned up, kissing him swiftly, "Shut up. And you'll get more of that."

"Deal," he smirked, watching the credits roll.

"You're taking up the whole bed," Luke complained, scooching away from the edge.

"No, I'm not."

"You totally are. You're half my size and taking up double the space."

"I'm comfy."

"I'm not."

"Boo fucking hoo."

"Babe," he whined.

"Fine," she moved over, laughing as Luke quickly pulled her in to spoon.

"You smell so good," he mumbled into her hair.

"Thanks, babe."

"You're like a fucking heater. I love it."

"Lu."

"Hm?"

"Shut up and sleep."

"Make me."

She shook her head, flipping over and straddling him. He smirked, his hands planted firmly on her hips.

"Hi."

"Hi, Lu," she leaned down, connecting their lips.

"I could kiss you forever."

"Then stop talking and kiss me."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Luke hated early mornings, in fact he was known for sleeping in. As a mom, Tori couldn't say she was the same. She was up every morning at 7 like clockwork. "Sleeping in" to her was waking up at 8. So as she lay staring at the ceiling, her boyfriend snoring next to her, she felt so useless. She needed to be up doing something. Cleaning. Making breakfast. Going on a walk. Taking a shower. Anything but this. She was accomplishing nothing!

"Luke."

Nothing.

"Luke," she shook him slightly. He just groaned, pulling her closer to him. She laughed, maybe she could sleep for a little bit longer.

Two hours later, she was awake again. This time thinking of ways she could convince Luke to get out of bed. She started by flipping in his arms, tracing her finger over his bare chest. He stirred, letting out a quiet hum. She traced her fingers over his abs, feeling the ridges under her fingertips. God, he was hot. He reached out, grabbing her wrist.

"Don't start something you can't finish," he mumbled, eyes still closed.

"Who said I wanted it to end," she giggled, his grip on her loosened. His eyes opening very slightly.

"I'm listening..."

"Well, I need a shower. And I thought... I don't know, maybe you'd like to join."

"Yeah?" he smirked.

"Mhm."

"Let's go."

"Let me under the water!" Tori complained, Luke's height blocking any of the warm water from hitting her bare body.

"But it's sooooo relaxing."

"Yeah? And I'm fucking freezing! Let me in!"

"Fine," he huffed, standing behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her flush against his front. She sighed contently, finally being able to embrace the warmth of the water. He slowly snuck his hand up her body, resting it to cup right under her breast.

"What're you doing, Lukey?"

"Enjoying the shower with my smoking hot girlfriend."

She giggled, a blush covering her face. She turned in his arms, kissing him passionately.

"Wanna finish what you started?" he teased.

"Gladly."

"What shampoo is it?" Luke asked, looking at all the bottles lining the wall.

"We're wasting water at this point. I don't have the money for this," Tori sighed worriedly.

"Are you... are you being sarcastic?"

"No, Luke. I'm not a loaded NHL player. Water costs money. We should just get out."

"Babe, shhh. All is well. I'll pay the extra amount on the water bill. I promise."

"You don't have to do that."

"I don't, you're right. But I want to. Now which bottle is the shampoo? I wanna give you a relaxing shampooing."

"It's the red one," she sighed, allowing Luke to run his hands through her hair. She needed this. The stress melted away as he massaged at her scalp, admiring the small hums that left her mouth.

"You're so pretty, Tori."

"Thanks, Lukey."

"Any time, baby. Now... for the body wash."

She let out a loud laugh, smacking her hand against his chest, "I can manage that part."

"Are you sure? Might be difficult."

"I've got it."

"Would you mind helping me?"

"Luke Hughes, you dog."

"What?! Can't help it when you're this fucking beautiful."

She blushed, "Thanks, Lu."

"That's what I'm here for. To make sure you know that you're the most important girl in the world."

The couple was laying on the couch, Tori running her hand through Luke's hair. He was watching some hockey thing on the TV that she didn't understand, occasionally pointing out details to her. Her phone started buzzing, a sigh leaving her mouth as she swiped to accept the call.

"Hello?"

"Victoria! How've you been, love?" her mother asked excitedly.

"Oh, um... okay. Just watching some TV."

"Where's my Riley?"

"At John's. His parents are in town. They wanted some time with him, I guess."

"Well, awfully rude of them to take him away from his mother. Especially when you were just fixing that sleep schedule of his."

"Mom, it's not-"

"Don't say it's not a big deal, Victoria! It is. They are so rude to you."

"Mom-"

"Let me finish! They never consider how you feel about things. I just... I wish they'd listen to you, dear."

"Mom, all is well. Riley loves spending time with his dad. And I get some much needed time to relax."

"That is nice, isn't it? Some much needed you time. Not you and Riley time."

"It's lovely. I'm just here with-"

"With Ally? Hi, Ally!"

"No, Mom!" Tori laughed, "Luke."

"Oh, Luke! How lovely! How is he?"

"He's good, he's good. Half asleep, but good."

"I can't believe you're finally dating again! Only took you over a year."

Tori rolled her eyes, "Yes, I know, Mom. Why'd you call?"

"Just wanted to check in. Make sure you're not too overwhelmed. See if you needed some money."

"We're actually doing alright, at the moment. I had enough to get Riley some extra snacks this week."

"Oh! Isn't that just wonderful! Remember if you ever need a few extra dollars..."

"I know, Mama. I love you."

"I love you, Vicky! Talk to you soon."

"Bye, Mom."

"Your mom seems nice," Luke commented, his voice muffled by Tori's shirt.

"Hm? Yeah, she's the best."

"I, uh, I didn't realize you were having... money problems."

"It's not something I enjoy talking about. John's child care is my saving grace most times. I just... I want Riley to have everything he needs."

"I-"

"Don't offer me any money, Hughes. I'll dump your ass right here, right now. I'm a strong, independent woman."

"Of course. I know you are, babe."

"Thanks for staying with me this weekend, Lu."

"Whenever you need it."

"How would you feel about formally spending some time with Riley?"

"Really?!" he sprung up, his eyes wide.

"Yeah. Why? Are- are you not ready for that?"

"No! No! I'm so ready! I just... are you ready?"

"I mean, I won't tell him you're my boyfriend. He won't understand that. But... I want him to meet you. Spend some time together. Cause... if you guys don't click... I don't know what I'd do."

"Well, let's set up a playdate!" Luke grinned, reassuringly rubbing her back.

"Okay, yeah. Let's do it."

God, how would John react when he found out Riley was spending time with Luke? Fingers-crossed that he won't overreact. Tori wasn't sure she could deal with anymore dramatic arguments with her ex. Guess she'd have to wait and see.

[strqyr]

i just can't get over the fact that yang expected tai to be there.

after returning to remnant and getting to shade, yang and ruby have probably witnessed weiss and maybe even blake reunite with their own families. and qrow is there. raven is there. people who made it out of vale are there, the fucking bubba bubba boba shop is there, having relocated to vacuo from patch.

but tai isn't, and it's weird. unexpected, so uncharacteristic that yang has to wonder why, the answer she has been given unsatisfying because what could be more important than being there? what could possibly keep their father, who they know to be someone who worries a lot and at times is a bit overprotective, away from vacuo where everyone is preparing for the final stand?

and it's pulling at my heartstrings like they miss their dad so much and it's just so 🥺

(and ya know also slightly worried for tai's state of mind like does this man know his daughters are alive and back on remnant has anyone kept him updated like please tell me he's not super depressed somewhere thinking his daughters are dead preparing for his own final stand against the impossible just to keep the crown safe bc what does he have left anymore the last time we saw him was alone with zwei in a dark room like hello??? health check????)

[citadelofmythoughts]

So I kind of already got this with red like roses part two. (Context about the ruby and yang v10 family drama) but I’ve always wanted a slice of Ruby Is Angry With Summer. She loved her mom, she loves her memory, she mocked her outfit partially after her. She feels burdened with her gone. And while she’s sad and upset with her gone.

RLR2 is just. It’s my jam idk. It’s one of the only pieces in early days that showed how Ruby truly felt. Yang has nothing but good things to say about Summer and it’s clear BOTH girls idolize her to some extent. But while Yang lives in the bubble of “mom is still my hero even if she failed bc I know how strong and caring she was” it felt like or maybe I just hoped that while Ruby loved her mom here is laced with “How can you love someone and still be so angry with them”

In a way, in a very very different way that maybe would take a longer post to elaborate on, the way Yang sees Tai and the way Ruby sees Summer TO ME are similar. Not in subject matter but in the deeper more complicated feelings.

Tai was present but not emotionally. He was the fun dad. He seems to have grown from context clues into the nag your kids about life lessons, referencing Ruby’s annoyance at Yang saying she needs to branch out bc she “sounds like dad”. But he was neglectful. And loving a parent who hurt you even by accident, who never Saw your pain and then when they did handled it badly. Someone who tries but it’s wrong or not enough. That’s hard. The memory of super mom Summer keeps Yang going and is probably her version of Bubba Bubba Boba. It was bad. But not always. And that’s why her feeling about him are so complicated.

Whereas Ruby “maybe we don’t have the full picture” seems to give him space to be better / good. Of course dad loves us we know that. I imagine Yang has been the buffer for her since Yang was taking care of Ruby emotional needs growing up, and Tai took them out for fun trips and got them a puppy and taught them. He’s maybe distant until he “gets better” after Summer leaves. But with Qrow being the more visibly unstable one Ruby seemed to put her attention onto him and so Tai is just Dad to her.

But for RUBY, Summer is the omen hanging over her. Yang says in BTC that she believed Ruby was too young to truly grasp what had happened. How accurate that is we don’t really know but RLR2 tells us that even if she didn’t have the words Ruby felt more than ppl thought a toddler showed. Sadness and loss. Betrayal. She has to be the new Summer and she can’t even remember what she truly looked like. She’s perfect in every way. Ways Ruby can never be. And unlike Tai who Yang could potentially have a screaming match at, Summer isn’t here. Ruby’s only outlets for her feelings are fitting and herself, since she looks so much like her.

Their family makes me so sad but I have so many questions. And while a neglectful parent is NOT the same as a dead one, it’s hard to forgive someone who you can’t even tell you’re mad at them. (Not trying to downplay Yang’s own burdens this is more a sad fun parallel of how I personally view the girls and their complicated emotions with their parents)

The Rose/Xiao Long/Branwen family is a troubled one and it's so complicated and messy.

You can love someone but still be angry at them, you can love someone and be disappointed in them. A parent can love a child and still completely screw up and in the process hurt them without meaning to.

Whumptober: Day Fourteen: "Water Inhalation."

Trigger warnings: Heavily implied child neglect, drowning, a child in distress, domestic arguments, and some slight manipulation/lying.

Summary: A (very young) Mike almost drowns. This is the catalyst to something so much more.

Word count: 1,372

--

Mike can’t swim. 

It’s embarrassing on so many levels. Here he is, seven-years-old and unable to do something most of his classmates learned literal years ago. It shouldn’t be that hard, but staring at the surface of the water, he’s wary. 

It looks deep.

He’s afraid if he slips it might swallow him whole. 

There’s a whole other side of the pool, the shallow end. But Mike’s also afraid that if he goes into the shallow end, somehow, someway he’ll end up in the deep end. It’s probably not rational, but that doesn’t help ease his fear. 

He stares into the water, past the shimmering surface. The sun beats down on him, making Mike feel a bit nauseous. Families chatter around him, splashing in the pool and running around. His mom and baby brother sit in the shallow end. She holds Garrett up, keeping her full attention on him. His dad had to work overtime at the diner, but he might be able to stop by at some point.

Mike smiles at them, raising a hand to wave at them. “Mommy-”

Before he can comprehend what’s happening, Mike is pushed off the ledge into the depths of the pool. He might’ve screamed, but it doesn’t help. Mike flails, sinking to the bottom. His heart beats fast, faster than it ever has before. 

He can hear people continuing to laugh and play.

His eyes, which he forgot to shut before being pushed, are starting to burn. Dark spots dance in his vision. 

Mike’s lungs burn from trying to hold his breath. Mom and dad told him that breathing in water was dangerous. That it could hurt him. 

He makes one last effort to claw his way to the surface, but there’s nothing solid to grab. Mike even tries to grab onto the various bodies around him, but he can’t…quite…reach…them.

He takes a deep breath. It’s involuntary. But it happens, and when it happens, he can’t stop it. 

It burns. Bad. 

The dark spots in his vision grow.

There’s a loud splash near him, and then strong arms are hoisting him above the water. 

It’s…bright. Almost blindingly so. 

His chest hurts, the pain indescribable. He’s lightheaded, and when the person takes him into their arms again, Mike rests his head on their chest. Shutting his eyes helps with the light, but does nothing for the pain in his chest. His lungs continue to try and take in air, inhaling and exhaling without his permission. 

The person stops, sitting down. They thump him on the back. Mike sputters, coughing up mouthfuls of water. But it isn’t enough. He can feel it in his lungs, heavy. Like lava sitting in his chest and throat. 

The person hits his back again and again, not stopping until Mike has stopped choking and sputtering. 

Mike opens his eyes, head pounding. The pain in his chest is no better, but at least he isn’t fighting to breathe. He’s pressed to someone’s chest. Someone’s fully clothed chest. He forces himself to look up. 

His dad smiles down at him. “Thank god, you’re okay,” he murmurs, kissing the top of Mike’s head. 

His mom comes over not too long after. His baby brother in her arms. Garrett cries for him, calling out his name and lifting his arms towards Mike. And when mom puts him down next to dad, he’s quick to cling to his older brother. 

He makes eye contact with Mike. A tiny, pudgy hand taps his cheek. “Otay?” 

“‘m fine, Gar,” Mike says, ignoring the pain. His voice sounds hoarse. “Just…uh…” he turns his face away to cough. “A fall.”

Garrett frowns. “So…otay then?” He looks at their dad, eyebrows furrowed. “Bubba ‘tay?”

Their dad laughs. Mike can feel the vibrations through his whole body. “He’s okay, Garrett. Just had a little tumble. That’s why mommy and I tell you boys to be careful around the pool.”

Mike pouts. “But…but it wasn’t my fault.” He coughs again, leaning more of his weight against his dad’s chest. “Someone pushed me.”

“It’s possible one of the other kids might have accidentally knocked Michael in. It is fairly crowded today.” His mom presses a hand to his cheek. “But all that matters is that he’s okay.”

Mike feels his dad tense up. “Where were you?” He asks. 

“Pardon?” 

Garrett rests his head on Mike’s shoulder. Something he does when he needs comfort from Mike. Weakly he strokes his brother’s hair, hands trembling. 

“I mean, if you were watching him, he wouldn’t have fallen in. You know that he can’t swim.”

“Well, that’s not my fault. I offered to sign him up for classes, but you said no.” His mom pulls away, huffy. 

The pounding in his head gets worse. He hates when his parents argue. It never solves anything, and only makes Garrett and him scared. Not that they care, they just want to be right. 

The ride home that night is tense. Mom and dad never argue in the car. Something about road safety…? Mike doesn’t know, but he thinks it’s awfully nice of them to wait to have a screaming match until they're all inside the house. 

Despite almost drowning not two hours earlier, Mike is the one that puts his brother to bed. He changes him into clean clothes and helps him brush his teeth. It helps that Garrett’s bed is in Mike’s room.

They snuggle up together, listening as their parents begin their nightly argument. Garrett’s stuffed bear lies sandwiched between Mike’s chest and his arm. The nightlight in the corner of their room projects little images of Fredbear and Springbonnie on the walls. Sometimes, when the fighting gets too intense, Mike will focus on the images and hums one of the animatronics' songs. 

Garrett sniffles. 

Gently, Mike runs his fingers through his brother’s curls. “It’s going to be alright,” he murmurs. “Mommy and daddy are just talking very loudly.”

“Momma and dadda happy?”

“Yes,” Mike agrees, not wanting his brother to feel the same amount of terror that he feels on a daily basis. He refuses to let his parents ruin that for Garrett. “Very happy.”

His little brother nods, snuggling closer. He falls asleep soon after, one hand tangled in Mike’s shirt. 

Mike lies awake, unable to not listen. His parents' screaming match lasts nearly the whole night. It only stops when the front door slams closed, echoing throughout the house. A car-so it must be his dad who left, because his mom doesn’t have a car-sputters noisily to life, zooming out of their driveway and to who knows where. 

It’s silent.

He hears his mom moving around downstairs, sobbing. If Garrett wasn’t nestled up to him, he’d go check on her. 

His eyes slide shut, exhaustion taking him over. It had been a long day, and there was no promise tomorrow would be any better. 

“Michael?” 

He jolts awake. Garrett is in his mom’s arms. A strange man stands next to her, a suitcase in each hand and a bag slung over both of his shoulders. He smiles at Mike, but it doesn’t reach his eyes. 

“What-what’s going on? Where’s daddy?”

His mom shushes him. “It’s okay, baby,” she says. “He’s okay. We-you, me, and Garrett-are going to go on a little vacation.”

“A ‘cation…?” Mike asks, still half-asleep. He rubs his eyes. “Why?” 

His mom hesitates as if thinking of an answer. “Because it’ll be fun.”

In his tired state, that’s enough for Mike. “Okay.”

“Good, now we’re going to quickly pack some of your and your brother’s most important items. Don’t worry about packing clothes or tooth brushes, I already did that.” 

Half-asleep and more confused than ever, Mike is ushered around his room. His mom stuffs plushies and books and photos and trophies into a large backpack. She then helps Mike put it on, making sure to hold him steady. 

It’s early in the morning when Garrett and him are buckled into an unfamiliar car. His dad’s car isn’t in the driveway, and once the strange man and his mom have packed their stuff in the trunk, they pull out of the driveway. 

Mike closes his eyes, sleep pulling him under. Wherever they’re going, he hopes his dad can join them soon.

[siriusblack-the-third]

questions about marathi culture, for a character! (her family is buddhist for extra context if it matters, but not very devout)

-what would be a term of endearment a parent might call their (adult) daughter? -what are popular beverages of the area and what are they like? -extremely specific but are devaks specific only to a few areas or are they more common in maharashtra? what are they usually like? -what are some more mundane, everyday traditions or expectations? things that might pertain to daily life, like meals or greetings?

1. A term of endearment for a daughter is usually baal (baby) or Tai or Didi (honourifics for older sister). Affectionate names are rarely used in my house, but the most common ones, as an adult daughter myself, are bubdi (somewhat means "bubba") or just a shortened form of my real name.

Priye, which literally means "loved one", is a romantic name, but my father sometimes uses it for me.

2. Popular beverages:

The first one is, of course, chai (Hindi) or chaha (Marathi). People are obsessed with spicy, savoury tea here. There is a specific way to make it, and every family has their own recipe/ingredients that they use.

Aamras is only made in the summers, because it is simply mango pulp with sugar added to taste. Some other families mix milk into it. It may be eaten with a spoon just on its own or you may dip bread into it.

Rasna and Maaza are packaged beverages that are also favoured in the summer. Rasna is bought in powdered form and mixed into water at home, and Maaza is basically mango juice. All of these are cold.

Solkadhi is a pastel pink, cold, slightly spicy beverage that is usually poured on rice or drunk after meals.

3. Devaks:

Are far as I know, only the Maratha families have a Devak. They are family totems for protection and other spiritual things, in the form of a physical object for eg. a banyan tree or an idol of a god. A man and a woman whose families have the same Devak may not marry each other.

4. Some specific traditions:

Do not enter the temple with your footwear on. Your footwear has touched a lot of unsanitary places, and a temple must remain clean and uncontaminated. Do not enter anyone's home with your footwear on, basically. Even your own home.

You must wash your hands with soap before and after a meal, as food is eaten without cutlery. Eat with only one hand, the other must stay in your lap or on your knee. Most families say a prayer before beginning the meal, to thank the gods for giving them sustenance.

As for greetings, people in rural areas usually greet with a Namaskar (Marathi for the Hindi word namaste) or a Ram Ram (yes, Ram from the Ramayana). During formal occasions like religious festivals or family gatherings, the younger ones usually greet and take leave of the older people by touching their feet, and receiving blessings in return. These blessings may be ayushman bhava (may you live long), vijayi bhava (may you be victorious), samartho bhava (may you be accomplished), vidwaan(masc)/vidushi(fem) bhava (may you be brilliant in studies) or many more.

Most traditions are unique to each family, so finding generalised ones is pretty difficult. I hope this was helpful, and my asks are always open!

Hong Kong Adventures

4 days 2011

Day 1July 24 Hong Kong airport

I checked in to the Stanford Hotel situated beside Ladies' Market, located in Kowloon in one of the most colourful and vibrant areas of this lively, cosmopolitan city. Stanford Hotel Hong Kong is well served by public transport. It is just a few minutes' walk to the MTR Station as well as the Mong Kok East MTR Station, which connects to Mainland China. The Hotel offered complimentary scheduled shuttle bus service to Hung Hom MTR Station, Airport Express Kowloon Station, China Hong Kong City Ferry Terminal and Stanford Hillview Hotel.

I decided to take a stroll around the area to checkout my surroundings. I wondered into Kowloon park where I viewed many sculptors.

Right around the block from my hotel was the Ladies Market. This massive Mongkok street market is one of the best spots in the city to pick up a bargain. Find T-shirts, cheongsams, silk pyjamas, chopsticks, handbags, belts, hair accessories, toys, and more.

I found many malls around the area. Def amazing to see international brands in another country. Dinner at the mall!

DAY 2 Shek O Beach and Mainland Hong Kong

I found Breakfast 2 blocks from my hotel and made this my daily breakfast on the go spot!

Hong Kong is very tourist friendly, I was on a mission to find a rock formation that I found in a tourist book. It didn’t have an address or directions on how to get there but I was confident that I would locate this place. The only piece of information I had was the name, Shek O VillageRoad.

To my amazement everyone spoke English. A mother and daughter let me know that they were required to take English I’m school. They directed me to the correct train station.

When I arrived at the station the train workers helped me to figure out the train number to board.

When I got to my destination the bus driver pointed to a path. He said to walk up the path and I would find it. To my amazement I had found a beach! It was hotter than the mainland, I had wish I brought my bathing suit.

Shek O Beach is probably one of the most scenic and popular beaches on Hong Kong Island. It might be on the southeast end of the island, but it’s still relatively easy to access and is often the first beach that anyone new to Hong Kong visits (well at least I did). It’s literally a glimpse into the other side of Hong Kong, the side without skyscrapers.

I then viewed the house I saw in the Tourist Guide book, I had reached my destination!

I continued down the path to see if I could find the rock formation that was pictured in the guide book but to my surprised it was more than that rock image! Definitely was not prepared to see what I was about to see and I was so glad I ventured out to find it!

I took the bus and rail back to the mainland. Next stop The Peak Tram is a funicular railway in Hong Kong, which carries both tourists and residents to the upper levels of Hong Kong Island. The journey takes approximately 8–10 minutes and is a visual experience to remember, as skyscrapers glide past at what appear to be impossible angles while the tram makes its ascent. The Peak Tram passes six stations in order: Garden Road, Kennedy Road, MacDonnell Road, May Road, Barker Road, and the Peak. The lower terminus is at Garden Road in the Central, while the upper one is on the third floor of the Peak Tower on the hillside.

Before I head back down I had lunch at the bubba shrimp co Reaturant & Bar. With many days eating just Asian food I was happy to have a salad. When I got back down I walked over to visit St. Peter’s Cathedral the oldest Catholic Church in Hong Kong. The headed over to the Center.

Stopped at the Madrain Hotel turn off to dinner at Yung Kee (Chinese: 鏞記) is a Chinese restaurant located on Wellington Street in Central, Hong Kong. It is most famous for its roast goose.

Day 3 New Territories, Tap Mun & Big Buddah

Subway MTR to The ferry pier which was located at Science Park and University in between Shatin and Tai Po. Ma Liu Shui is an area in Sha Tin District, in the New Territories, Hong Kong.

www.traway.com.hk

Grass Island or Tap Mun is an island in Hong Kong, located in the northeastern part of the territory.

We found a 400-year-old temple with an altar, and legend has it that it is connected by a hidden tunnel to Tap Mun Cave on the opposite shore of the island but we didn’t see one.

We found a hiking trail with stairs, when we got to the top we were able to take in the views! On the way down we encountered a cow. As we were walking pass it, it ran ran after us. What a scary moment, but we were able to laugh about it later!

Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddah)

Ngong Ping Lantau Island, in Hong Kong

Set on Lantau Island, the most enjoyable way to reach the Big Buddha is via the Ngong Ping Cable Car from Tung Chung MTR station.

You are also about to take a 2.5 to 3.5 hours hike and the cable car back to the station or catch a bus for the return trip. We decided to take the Cable Car round trip, which was a 30 min ride.

It is totally free to visit the Big Buddha, however, we would recommend making a small contribution to their donation box as a kind gesture, as the Big Buddha Phuket was built entirely from donations.

The Big Buddha, also known as Tian Tan Buddha, is famed as the most iconic attraction of Lantau. Sitting next to the Po Lin Monastery, it is only a 10-minute walk away from Ngong Ping Village. The majestic outdoor bronze Buddha statue sits solemnly atop the peak of Mount Muk Yue.

We climb up 268 steps to reach the three-storey pedestal to visit the Buddha and enjoy the boundless views of Lantau and South China Sea.

Day 4 Victoria Harbour Mainland HK & Stanley Beach

Victoria Harbour is a natural channel separating Hong Kong Island in the south from the Kowloon Peninsula to the north. With a glorious location in the South China Sea, the harbor is one of Hong Kong’s top tourist attractions thanks to its historical significance (it was one of the British Empire’s biggest military and trading ports) and the fact it offers gorgeous views of the Hong Kong skyline.

A prime way of experiencing Victoria Harbor’s allure is by riding the award-winning Hong Kong Star Ferry, which carries passengers between Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon side and Central and Wan Chai on Hong Kong island. The 20-min journey will provide you with the most spectacular views of Hong Kong,

You can also take in the beauty of Victoria Harbor from the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade. This alluring promenade starts at the Star Ferry Terminal, where the historic Star Ferry departs from, linking Tsim Sha Tsui with Central Hong Kong. The ride is considered one of the top things to do in Hong Kong, as it offers the most dramatic views of the city.

We passed by the Floating Restaurant, Tai Pak Sea food. In June 2022, the city's iconic tourist attraction, Jumbo Floating Restaurant, left Hong Kong waters and capsized at sea while on its way to Cambodia for storage – a shocking news.

Stanley Village & Beach

MTR Central Station Exit A / MTR Hong Kong Station Exit B1 to Stanley Village Bus Terminus Stanley has been a fishing village since before the British came to Hong Kong.

Stanley is a village in Hong Kong Island’s Southern District, where many of Hong Kong’s top beaches can be found. Visitors to Stanley will find a well developed beachfront before them, with a gorgeous promenade and a host of western-style bars and restaurants lining the waterfront. The village also has two beaches: Stanley Main Beach and St. Stephen’s beach.

Next stop: Ritz Carlton, Kowloon

Occupying floors 102 to 118 of the International Commerce Centre in Kowloon, The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, is the highest hotel in the world.With spectacular views of Hong Kong skyline; looking out to the Hong Kong city, harbour or Victoria Harbour view at 490 metres above sea level.

LAN Kwai Fong LFK

Lan Kwai Fong is one of Hong Kong's most popular nightlife hot spots and home to over 90 restaurants and bars. The atmosphere ranges from stylish wine pairings to raucous jelly shots and the food on offer is as diverse as the clientele.

Day 5 finally tried the sushi and took my hotek shuttle to the airport!

m feewin no so good cuz m angy n feewin icky but m gonna cuddwe my dino Wex n maybe tay a nap to feew beddew

any hewp on how do i no be angy anymo?

-bug <3

Awe buddy I'm so sorry to hear you're not feeling great :( being angry can be a really natural response to things, especially if something went wrong or someone intentionally upset you. I promise that no matter what caused you to feel this way, anger is a valid and normal emotion to have! Sometimes when I'm upset, I find it really helpful to either talk about it with someone or write out everything in a notebook or on my notes app. Sometimes if you can pinpoint exactly what made you upset, you can separate yourself from it. If you had a fight with a friend, my best solution is to turn off their notifications for a while until you feel calm enough to express what upset you and how you feel in a constructive way, that way no one says anything that they might regret later.

I think it's also a great idea to distract yourself by taking care of yourself! When I'm upset, I find a nice warm shower or even just washing my face can help tons. It also might help to have a little snack and some water or juice! Sugar (depending on your health conditions, of course!) can be a surefire cure for almost any issue. Chocolate ice cream is always my go-to when I'm feeling not too great. Maybe also take some time to play with your stuffies, color, put on some calm music or a cute movie, and take some time to let yourself drop all the Big world issues off your shoulders!

If you feel like nothing is working and you just need to talk to someone, my dm is always open too. I might be able to help a little better if I knew more of the situation, but these are just some general things that I find helpful. I really hope things get better for you kiddo, never forget that you deserve all the love and kindness in the world.

Sending you all the best vibes!

nubbins x reader with a hand kink please? ;)

Congratulations on being my first answered ask! I’m so excited to write this teehee

Nubbins Sawyer with a s/o who has a hand kink

SFW

-When nubbins finds out about your not so hidden kink he is at first confused but he doesn’t judge.

-Nubbins sometimes comes up to you and gives you random things from roadkill to pictures and he flexes his hand muscles and makes suggestive faces at you the entire time.

-Endless teasing from this guy “A-aw does little y/n like my hands? You do? Hehe.” He blushes like a mad man and is a bit shy but still teases to feel like he’s in control.

-He’ll wiggle his fingers and tells you to watch. He calls that his finger dance and he even got a glove that looks like a tuxedo for you somehow. If you don’t like it he’ll give it to you and purposely touch your hand while doing it.

-He cuts his hands a lot from impulse but he tries not to for you.

NSFW

-When you told him you liked how long his fingers were he blushed and grabbed you by the hand dragging you to his room.

-He traced his hand from your legs to your thighs and eventually to your warmth.

-He shoved his fingers in and out of you in a desperately fast manner.

-“You l-look so cute with my fingers in y-you.” He blushed intensely as you whined from such dirty words.

-Eventually you came undone and he quickly licked your juices off his hand.

-After some cuddling you two went downstairs and…

-“Heh, y-you two were sure loud up there.” Chop-top started hollering and hooting as Bubba sat there flustered

-Anyways you had to stop Drayton from beating your boyfriend into mush.

End

-Tay
