First off, I can’t begin to explain how emotionally overwhelmed and happy I am from this AU, but mainly out of curiosity - do you plan to continue drawing for the moniker fandom, let alone the Shadowpeach Bio parents AU?
Obviously not like full blown comics but drawings, doodles/sketches from time to time. And even if you don’t, do you think you’ll ever ‘return’ the AU. I’m curious where/what you’ll do next overall. I got into/joined this fandom because of your comics and I’m so incredibly grateful and glad I did, either way you’ve done such a wonderful job and I think a lot of people including me will incredibly grateful for years to come, heavens know I’ll never be ready for whenever the end of this comes but it’s been one hell of masterpiece all the way.
One thing at the time. For now I wanna finish the main story.

today was a warm and sunny day. the clouds were out of sight and the sun was beating down on your skin. it felt a little too perfect. you sat on the outside tables in front of magnolia, sipping on your drink while you and collei waited for nilou and aether to return with snacks. she was wearing a pretty, white lace sundress and birch-wood cardigan over it. cute and simple, the best way to describe collei and her radiant smile.
she raises her hand towards you, speaking to you through sign language. 'has been a long time. you and aether have been busy.'
you wave her off with your hand, a sigh coming out of your throat. “yeah, i’m sorry about that. i’ve just been caught up with so much stuff that i’ve been losing track of time. i’ve been showing up to class later than i’d like, and on some days i just end up skipping entirely.”
she gives you a reassuring smile. 'i’m not disappointed. last week i've been finishing my lab. but that sounds bad. wanna talk?'
you stare down at your drink, pondering if its worth telling collei the truth. how would she react to your interaction with alhaitham? hey my ex-boyfriend who broke up with me over text, suddenly shows up at the same cafe as aether's date. and he proposed that we work together so they can get together. god, when you say it like that, it's awful.
you lock your jaw. she’s never met him, only heard about him in passing through aether and nilou. maybe she’d give you an unbiased point of view. you know aether has a strong disliking for the silver-haired man. nilou had classes with him before, thought he was just quiet, until she heard about what he did to you. collei could give you the most unbiased opinion out of everyone.
and despite this rationality, you aren’t sure. you don’t want to worry the rest of your friends. you don’t want to bring up your love life anymore than you did in the past. you still remember the night aether called you, the way your voice cracked and trembled as you sobbed uncontrollably, and how nilou and collei stood on the sidelines, unsure of what to do. they gave you the space you needed. you just don’t know if you want to go through that heartache again. let alone put your friends through it.
your thoughts were cut short when nilou approaches the table, smiling and waving to collei. “when is the last time we met up like this?” she asks, crunching on the crisp exterior of her taiyaki. the custard filling was warm and sweet. and she was thankful to have had the day off today because she couldn’t take eating another dessert filled with extra sugary strawberry fillings.
both of them sat down at the table and you were quick to grab your snack. aether sat beside you while collei and nilou stayed close.
“it must be tough having to help a certain someone with his suspiciously good love life.” her eyes trailed over to aether, who was absentmindedly sipping from his straw. he was pretending to daydream in a middle of a conversation.
“are you talking to me?” he replies, jokingly rubbing the inside of his ear with his pinky. “wow isn’t this matcha the best thing ever? so good, i can’t believe i didn’t try this sooner, (name) you should totally order this instead of your jasmine milk tea 75% sugar and less ice.”
“okay, you did not have to say my entire order out loud,” you roll your eyes. your reply causes him to pinch your thigh, a yelp coming out of your mouth before you slap his hand.
“you’re such an ass!”
collei smiles, 'aether needs help, no? two months ago, he almost dated ayaka. he's been through many relationships. what makes kaveh so different?'
aether places his head down on the cool, glass table, mumbling, “well hes the only person i didnt have to help or save, so it just feels different having someone like you without you doing shit for them… or whatever.”
“she can’t read your lips if you put your head down,” you say, pinching his ear, “i can’t quite hear you, want to speak up big boy?”
he straightens out his back, looking at you with a twitch in his eye, he speaks slower so collei could pick up on his words. “he’s the only person i didn’t help. so it feels different having someone care about you without them being in debt to you. it’s just… different.”
“besides, we should be questioning you instead. you should be the embarrassed one. if i saw my ex out in the wild i would have punched him square in the face. don’t tell me you got too swept up in his pretty looks to say anything rude?”
“oh yeah? how come you didn’t do it when you saw scaramouche? that guy treated you like shit when you first met and then he cozied up to you on my couch! my couch!”
“well he’s a changed man, if anything, i fixed him!”
“i don’t think having sex on my couch counts as therapy!”
“we did not have sex, only heavy make outs. and look whos talking, remember when you were in the backseat of my car with albedo?”
nilou lets out a long, exhausted sigh. she forgot that everytime they go out together, she should expect a bit of bickering between you and aether. and while it may annoy or confuse other people outside of your group, she and collei know how charming it can be sometimes. she hasn’t seen a pair so close before. you and aether have some sort of freakish telepathic connection that lets you know what’s wrong with each other (if only this extended to arguments, the world would be at peace).
“don’t think i didn’t hear those face-sucking noises of yours! shame! shame on you!”
you gasp, “how dare you slutshame me!”
“fuck you i hope when you order your jasmine milk tea 75% sugar with less ice they give you more ice and more sugar!”
“now that’s going too far!”
collei taps on the glass table with her nail, knocking you and aether out of your petty banter. 'stop fighting, especially not in public. kaveh might see!' aether looked back at you before letting out a huff. you both roll your eyes while murmuring apologies under your throats, knowing well on the car ride back it’ll continue. the effort was enough to make collei clap in glee though.
so what happened between kaveh and aether? it sounds like it went well but i need the inside scoop.
“nothing really, i don’t think you missed much collei,” returning back to the topic at hand, you stir your drink with a straw. “they had their first ‘date’ at nilou’s cafe. they probably talked about how boring aether’s outfit was because he wasn’t wearing that yellow sweater vest. things were going well until…”
nilou nudges your elbow, “he showed up.”
'he? you mean...' collei looks up at you with concern laced in her eyes, 'he did what?'
“more like said,” aether interrupts. “did he apologize about what he did to you last year? or should i be the one to beat his ass for you?”
'no fighting!' collei waves.
“look, he didn’t say anything, really.” you force a smile. “we just talked about school. caught up a little bit and that was it. besides, as much as i want him to apologize to me, i know that won’t happen. he’s not that type of person.”
“i don’t know (name)...” nilou presses her lips in a thin line.
collei pats your hand, giving you the same warm look she always had in her eyes. 'everything will be okay. we are here, if you need. don't worry.'
aether, on the other hand, doesn’t seem quite as convinced. his eyes were laser focused on the crinkling of your nose and the distant expression you had. he’s known you long enough to tell that the absent stirring was a sign there was something more. he doesn’t want to put you on the spot with collei and nilou, but he can’t help it. he feels as if there is something on between you and alhaitham that he doesn’t know about.
and the thought makes his stomach drop.
you continue with the conversation as normal, laughing about how aether needs your help out of everyone for love. you talk about how disappointed you were not being able to see him dress up more. nilou is still chewing on the tail of her taiyaki while collei nods to your story.
aether is biting the inside of his cheek, listening as a good friend would. he needs to stay focus on the conversation. he shouldn’t think too hard about it. if you said it was just school, then it should be left like that. there is nothing going on between you and alhaitham.
and if there was… what would he do?

Summer turns to fall, and Cora and Ryan’s relationship becomes a steady part of family life. By now, Ryan is a regular visitor to the house. Though Tony still maintains his “watchful dad” persona, he’s noticeably relaxed around Ryan, occasionally sharing a sarcastic comment or offering him a soda without much fuss. You’ve even caught Tony grumbling about the boy’s taste in music—not exactly glowing approval, but close enough.
Cora, meanwhile, is glowing in a way you’ve never seen before. She’s still her fiercely independent self, but there’s a new softness about her—she’s less quick to snap, more patient with her siblings, and her happiness is infectious. Except, of course, when it comes to Alex and Howard.
The twins, ever the chaos-makers, have taken their jealousy of Ryan to theatrical levels.
“Cora doesn’t love us anymore,” Alex announces one afternoon as you’re folding laundry in the living room.
“She just loves him,” Howard chimes in dramatically, lying face-down on the carpet like his world has ended.
You glance up from the socks you’re sorting and try not to laugh. “That’s not true, and you know it. Cora loves you very much.”
“Then why doesn’t she play with us anymore?” Alex demands, sitting up with a pout.
“She used to build forts with us,” Howard adds, now rolling onto his back to stare at the ceiling like a tragic hero in a Shakespearean play. “Now she just texts him all the time.”
“Boys,” you say gently, sitting down beside them. “Cora’s growing up. That doesn’t mean she loves you any less. She’s just figuring out who she is and spending time with someone who makes her happy. But you’ll always be her little brothers, okay?”
“Yeah, but we don’t like him,” Alex mutters.
“You barely know him,” you point out.
“We don’t have to know him to not like him,” Howard says stubbornly.
Before you can respond, Estelle toddles into the room, dragging a blanket behind her. She climbs onto your lap without a word and leans against you, her thumb in her mouth.
“See?” you say, wrapping an arm around Estelle. “Even when Cora’s busy, you’ve got each other—and us.”
The twins don’t look entirely convinced, but they nod reluctantly.
Later that evening, while the kids are occupied with a movie, you and Tony find a rare quiet moment together in the kitchen. He’s leaning against the counter, sipping a glass of wine, while you finish tidying up.
“They’re really laying it on thick, huh?” Tony says, smirking as he recalls the twins’ earlier dramatics.
“They’re jealous,” you reply, rinsing the last dish. “They miss her, and they don’t know how to say it without turning it into a production.”
Tony sets his glass down and crosses the room, wrapping his arms around you from behind. “Well, they’d better get used to it. She’s not a kid anymore. And I’m pretty sure Ryan’s sticking around.”
You lean back against him, savoring the warmth of the moment. “You really think so?”
“Don’t get me wrong, I still want to give the kid the third degree every time I see him,” Tony says with a chuckle. “But yeah, he’s not bad. And she’s happy. That’s what matters, right?”
You turn to face him, resting your hands on his chest. “You’re a good dad, you know that?”
“Don’t let that get around,” he says, grinning as he presses a kiss to your forehead. “I’ve got a reputation to uphold.”
Just then, Estelle toddles into the kitchen, clutching a stuffed animal in one hand and rubbing her eyes with the other.
“Mommy,” she says sleepily.
You scoop her up, kissing her chubby cheek. “What are you doing out of bed, little one?”
“Can’t sleep,” she murmurs, resting her head on your shoulder.
Tony reaches out to brush a strand of hair from her face, his expression softening in that way it always does when he looks at her. “Come on, princess,” he says. “Let’s get you back to bed.”
He takes her from your arms and carries her upstairs, humming a soft tune as she curls against his chest. You follow a few steps behind, watching the way he cradles her with the kind of tenderness that still catches you off guard sometimes.
Back downstairs, the twins are sprawled on the couch, fast asleep by the time the credits roll. Cora is in her room, probably texting Ryan, and the house feels peaceful in a way that’s rare but cherished.
Over the next few weeks, the twins continue to grumble about Ryan, but their protests lose some of their bite. They still don’t love the idea of sharing Cora’s attention, but they’re slowly coming to terms with it.
One Saturday, Cora surprises everyone by joining the twins for a game of basketball in the driveway. Ryan is nowhere in sight, and the boys are thrilled to have their big sister back, even if only for an hour. You watch from the porch with Tony, sipping coffee as the three of them laugh and bicker over the rules.
“See?” you say, nudging Tony with your elbow. “They’ll figure it out.”
“Yeah,” he agrees, though his gaze lingers on Cora a little longer. “But I reserve the right to be overprotective forever.”
“I wouldn’t expect anything less,” you reply, leaning against him.
It’s late afternoon when the front door opens, and you hear the unmistakable sound of Cora’s school bag dropping onto the floor. Usually, this is accompanied by her calling out, “Hey, I’m home!” or the sound of her heading to the kitchen for a snack. But today, it’s eerily quiet.
You glance up from the stack of papers you’re sorting at the dining table, your instincts immediately on alert. Tony, who’s tinkering with something small and metallic at the kitchen counter, notices too.
“Cora?” you call, standing.
Then you hear it—soft, muffled sobs coming from the living room. You’re moving before you even think, Tony right behind you.
You find her sitting on the couch, her knees pulled up to her chest, her face buried in her arms. Her whole body shakes with the force of her tears, and it feels like someone’s reached into your chest and squeezed your heart.
“Sweetheart?” you say softly, sitting down beside her.
Tony freezes for a moment, his eyes wide with panic as he takes in the sight of his usually strong, confident daughter falling apart. “What happened? Who hurt you? Tell me right now, and I’ll deal with it,” he says, his voice already edging toward anger.
Cora looks up, her face streaked with tears, and shakes her head. “No one hurt me, Dad.”
“Then what’s wrong?” you ask gently, brushing her hair out of her face.
She tries to speak, but her voice cracks, and a fresh wave of tears spills over.
Tony, clearly struggling to stay calm, sits on the edge of the coffee table in front of her. “Cora, you’re scaring me here. Just tell us what’s going on.”
After a moment, she takes a shaky breath and manages to get the words out. “Ryan… Ryan’s moving to London.”
Your heart sinks. “Oh, sweetheart…”
Tony blinks, his initial panic giving way to confusion. “London? Like… England London?”
Cora nods, wiping at her eyes. “His dad got a job there. They’re leaving in a month.”
“And what does that mean for you two?” Tony asks, though he already looks like he knows the answer.
Cora swallows hard, her voice trembling. “He… He said we should break up. He doesn’t want to do long distance.”
Tony’s jaw tightens, his fists clenching on his knees. “That little—”
“Tony,” you say sharply, cutting him off. “This isn’t about you wanting to punch a teenager.”
“Why not?” he mutters under his breath, but he backs down.
Cora lets out a shaky sigh. “It’s not his fault. He doesn’t think it’ll work, and… maybe he’s right. But it hurts so much.”
“Oh, honey,” you say, pulling her into a hug. She collapses against you, her sobs muffled against your shoulder.
Tony’s expression softens as he watches her, and he reaches out to squeeze her hand. “He’s an idiot if he thinks he’s not going to miss you every day. You’re amazing, Cora. Don’t let anyone make you feel otherwise.”
Before she can respond, there’s a small sound from the hallway. You turn to see Estelle standing there, clutching her favorite plushie—a well-loved bunny with one floppy ear. Her wide eyes take in the scene, and she hesitates for a moment before toddling over to the couch.
“Cowa sad?” she asks, her voice tiny and uncertain.
Cora sniffles and sits up a little, trying to wipe her tears away. “I’m okay, Estelle.”
But Estelle isn’t convinced. She climbs onto the couch beside her sister, her little face scrunched up with concern. Without a word, she holds out her bunny.
“Bun-bun make you happy,” she says solemnly.
Cora’s breath catches, and for a moment, she looks like she might start crying again—but this time, for an entirely different reason. She takes the plushie with trembling hands and pulls Estelle into a hug.
“Thank you, Stellie,” she whispers, her voice thick with emotion.
Tony watches the scene unfold, his usual snark and bravado nowhere to be found. He looks at you, and you can see the helplessness in his eyes. He hates seeing any of his kids in pain, and knowing there’s nothing he can do to fix it is clearly killing him.
Later, after you’ve managed to convince Cora to eat a little something and Estelle is back to playing with her toys, you find Tony in the garage. He’s pacing, running his hands through his hair, and muttering to himself.
“Tony,” you say gently, stepping into the room.
He stops and looks at you, his expression a mix of frustration and sadness. “I hate this. I hate that she’s hurting, and I can’t do anything about it.”
“I know,” you say, wrapping your arms around him. “But she doesn’t need you to fix it. She just needs you to be there for her.”
“I don’t know how to do that,” he admits, his voice quiet. “I’m not good at this kind of stuff.”
“You’re better at it than you think,” you tell him, resting your head against his chest. “Just keep showing up. That’s all she needs.”
Over the next few days, Cora starts to open up a little more. She talks about the memories she and Ryan made together, the inside jokes they shared, and the plans they’d dreamed of before the news of his move.
The twins, thankfully, are oblivious to the situation for the time being. They’re too busy with basketball practice and their latest obsession with building the tallest block towers they can manage. You’re grateful for the reprieve—it gives Cora space to grieve without their constant questions and commentary.
One evening, as you’re tucking Estelle into bed, she looks up at you with her big, curious eyes.
“Cowa okay now?” she asks.
You smile softly and brush her hair back. “She’s getting there, sweetie. Thanks to you and Bun-bun.”
Estelle nods, satisfied, and snuggles deeper into her blankets.
By the end of the week, Cora seems a little stronger. She still has moments where the pain hits her all over again, but she’s beginning to smile and laugh more often. Tony even manages to get her to join him for a round of Mario Kart, and the sound of her laughter fills the house like a balm for everyone’s hearts.
“She’s going to be okay,” you tell Tony one night as you’re lying in bed.
“Yeah,” he says, though his voice is still tinged with sadness. “But it’s going to take time.”
And so, as a family, you give her all the time she needs, surrounding her with love, support, and the occasional inappropriate dad joke to remind her that she’s never alone.
The chaos starts one evening during dinner. The twins are unusually quiet, their usual chatter about basketball, school antics, and random “fun facts” replaced by curious glances toward Cora. She’s sitting at the table, picking at her plate of pasta with a distinct lack of enthusiasm. The sparkle she usually carries has dimmed a bit since the breakup, though she’s been doing her best to mask it.
“Hey, Cora,” Alex pipes up, breaking the silence. “Where’s Ryan? He hasn’t come over in forever.”
Howard nods, his mouth full. “Yeah, didn’t he say he’d bring us that big bag of caramel popcorn? He never did.”
You can see the subtle flinch in Cora’s shoulders before she glances at you, silently pleading for help. Tony immediately stiffens, his protective instincts on high alert as he watches the exchange unfold.
“Guys,” you say gently, “Ryan… isn’t coming over anymore.”
The twins pause mid-bite, their synchronized reactions almost comical.
“What? Why?” Alex demands, his tone filled with disbelief.
Howard narrows his eyes. “Did he do something to you, Cora? Because if he did, we’ll—”
“No!” Cora cuts in quickly, setting down her fork. “It’s nothing like that. He’s moving to London, and we broke up.”
The twins blink, processing this new information. Then, as if on cue, they both push their plates away and hop off their chairs.
“Unacceptable,” Alex declares, his hands balling into fists.
“Totally unacceptable,” Howard echoes, his expression darkening. “He can’t just dump you and move to London like that!”
“It’s not his fault,” Cora says, though her voice is tinged with frustration. “He doesn’t want to do long distance, and we both agreed it was for the best.”
“That’s a bad excuse,” Alex snaps, pacing back and forth.
“He’s a coward,” Howard adds. “And cowards don’t deserve you, Cora!”
Before you or Tony can intervene, Estelle, who has been sitting quietly in her high chair, suddenly pipes up in her tiny, serious voice.
“Coward don’t deserve Cowa,” she says, mimicking Howard’s words almost perfectly.
Tony chokes on his water, and you nearly drop your fork.
“Estelle,” you say, trying not to laugh. “Sweetie, you don’t even know what that means.”
“Coward,” Estelle repeats, crossing her arms like her brothers, as if she fully understands the weight of her declaration.
“See? Even Stellie gets it!” Alex says, gesturing dramatically to his baby sister.
“We should punch him,” Howard announces, his face set in a grim expression.
“Punch him,” Estelle echoes, holding up her tiny fist.
At that, Tony finally snaps out of his stunned silence and stands up, waving his hands in front of him. “Okay, okay, let’s pump the brakes here. Nobody’s punching anyone.”
“Why not?” Alex asks, glaring up at his dad.
“And anyway,” Howard adds, “Ryan hurt Cora. Isn’t that worse?”
“Guys,” you say firmly, stepping in before this spirals any further, ��violence isn’t the answer. And Ryan didn’t hurt Cora—he made a difficult decision, and sometimes relationships just don’t work out. It’s no one’s fault.”
“But Cora’s sad,” Alex says, his lower lip jutting out in a rare display of vulnerability.
“We don’t like seeing her like this,” Howard agrees.
Cora, who’s been quietly watching the whole exchange, finally speaks up. “I appreciate you guys wanting to defend me, but I don’t need anyone to fight my battles. I’m okay, really.”
“You don’t seem okay,” Alex mumbles.
“She’s just figuring it out,” you say softly, reaching out to ruffle his hair. “And the best thing you can do is support her and be there when she needs you.”
The twins exchange a look, clearly reluctant to let the matter drop.
“We still don’t like him,” Howard mutters as he sits back down.
“Yeah,” Alex adds. “And we’re never eating caramel popcorn again.”
At that, Estelle solemnly pushes her sippy cup away and declares, “No popcorn.”
Tony snorts, shaking his head as he sits back down. “You’re really digging in on this, huh?”
“Someone has to,” Alex says with a dramatic sigh.
The rest of dinner is a little quieter, though the twins occasionally shoot pointed glances at Cora, as if they’re still plotting how to avenge her heartbreak. Estelle, meanwhile, alternates between eating her mashed potatoes and mimicking the twins’ exaggerated arm-crossing stance, clearly enjoying the attention.
Later, as you’re tucking Estelle into bed, she looks up at you with her wide, innocent eyes and asks, “Cowa happy now?”
You brush a strand of hair from her face and kiss her forehead. “She’s getting there, sweetie. Thanks to you and your brothers.”
Estelle smiles, snuggling into her blankets. “Okay. No popcorn.”
You stifle a laugh and tuck her in, leaving her room with a heart full of love for your fiercely protective little family.
Downstairs, you find Tony sitting on the couch, staring at the wall with a contemplative expression.
“You okay?” you ask, sitting beside him.
He lets out a long sigh. “I don’t know how you do it. Keeping them all from forming a vigilante squad and storming London.”
You laugh, leaning your head on his shoulder. “It’s a team effort.”
Tony wraps an arm around you, pulling you closer. “She’s going to be okay, right?”
“She will,” you say confidently. “She’s got us. And if that’s not enough, she’s got two little brothers and a baby sister ready to take on the world for her.”
Tony chuckles, pressing a kiss to your temple. “Yeah. That’s enough.”
It starts with little things, subtle and soft gestures to help lift Cora’s spirits. You and Tony both know she’s heartbroken—first loves are never easy to lose, and Ryan’s move to London had hit her harder than she wanted to admit. But you also know the kind of family she has. Stark resilience, wrapped in unconditional love, with just a sprinkle of chaos.
The effort begins the morning after the twins’ dramatic anti-Ryan declarations. Cora walks into the kitchen to find the twins at the breakfast table, uncharacteristically quiet. Estelle is perched in her high chair, clumsily holding a spoon as she tries to feed herself yogurt.
“Good morning,” Cora mumbles, still a little groggy.
“Morning!” Alex chirps, way too chipper for this early.
“Hi,” Howard says, looking suspiciously at his brother.
Cora narrows her eyes. “What are you two up to?”
“Nothing!” Alex says, but his grin gives him away.
Howard looks down at his plate, trying to look innocent but failing miserably. That’s when you step in from behind them, holding a plate of Cora’s favorite pancakes—chocolate chip, with extra whipped cream.
“We just thought you deserved a special breakfast,” you say, setting the plate in front of her.
Cora raises an eyebrow. “Okay, what’s the catch?”
“No catch!” Tony’s voice booms as he strides into the kitchen, dressed in a casual hoodie and jeans. “Just a family-wide campaign to cheer you up. Welcome to Operation Cora Smiles Again.”
Cora groans, though there’s a tiny flicker of amusement in her eyes. “You’re all ridiculous.”
“And you love us for it,” Tony says, dropping a kiss on the top of her head before grabbing his coffee.
Over the next few days, the “operation” goes into full swing. The twins take it upon themselves to invite Cora to all their activities, from basketball practice to board games, though their “invites” are mostly just them dragging her out of her room. Estelle toddles after her sister constantly, climbing into her lap during movie nights and insisting Cora help her with her coloring books.
Tony, of course, takes things to a whole new level.
One afternoon, he barges into the living room where you and Cora are sitting, her head on your shoulder as the two of you watch some feel-good rom-com. He’s holding his phone, looking far too pleased with himself.
“Ladies,” he announces, “pack your bags. We’re going to Paris.”
Cora sits up straight, her mouth falling open. “What?”
“You’ve always said you wanted to see the Louvre, right?” Tony says, grinning. “Well, I figured, what better way to distract you than with some world-class art and culture? Plus, croissants.”
“Are you serious?” Cora asks, still stunned.
“Dead serious,” Tony replies. “Private jet leaves in two days. Hope you’ve been brushing up on your French.”
“Dad, you can’t just—”
“Already booked it,” he interrupts, waving his phone. “Non-refundable. So you’re coming.”
Cora looks at you, her eyes wide with disbelief. “Mom?”
You shrug, smiling. “He’s not kidding. You might as well start picking out your outfits.”
She blinks a few times, then a slow smile spreads across her face. “Okay, fine. Paris sounds… amazing.”
Tony pumps his fist in victory, and you shake your head fondly.
When the day of the trip arrives, the excitement in the house is palpable. The twins are bouncing off the walls, thrilled at the idea of flying on the family’s private jet again. Estelle is too young to fully understand what’s happening but seems to pick up on the energy, clapping her hands and shouting, “Pawis!” every few minutes.
Cora, meanwhile, is quieter but visibly excited. She spends most of the flight flipping through a guidebook Tony had casually tossed her way, her mood lighter than it’s been in weeks.
Once you land in Paris, it’s like a whole new world opens up for her. The city is everything she’d imagined—bustling streets, beautiful architecture, and, of course, the Eiffel Tower. You and Tony make sure the kids experience all the highlights: boat rides along the Seine, macarons at a fancy patisserie, and a picnic at the Champs de Mars.
But the real highlight is the Louvre.
Walking through the museum, Cora is completely captivated. She takes her time studying each exhibit, her eyes wide with wonder as she absorbs the art and history. Tony stays close, his usual sarcasm dialed back as he watches her with pride.
At one point, she stops in front of the Mona Lisa, her expression thoughtful.
“It’s smaller than I thought it’d be,” she says.
Tony smirks. “Yeah, but it’s got personality. Kind of like someone else I know.”
Cora rolls her eyes but laughs, and it’s one of the first genuine laughs you’ve heard from her in a while.
By the time you return to the hotel that evening, everyone is exhausted but happy. The twins collapse onto their beds, and Estelle is already dozing off in your arms. Cora sits on the balcony, looking out at the city lights.
Tony joins her, leaning on the railing. “Feeling better?”
She nods, a small smile playing on her lips. “Yeah. Thanks, Dad. For all of this.”
He shrugs, though you can see the emotion in his eyes. “Anything for you, kid.”
When you join them, Tony wraps an arm around your waist, pulling you close. Together, the three of you watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle in the distance, a quiet moment of peace in the midst of everything.
The Paris trip continues to unravel in a blend of heartwarming family moments and the kind of chaos only a Stark family vacation could produce. It starts innocently enough as you all wander through the streets of Montmartre, the cobblestone pathways alive with music, street performers, and the scent of fresh pastries. Cora has perked up considerably since the museum visit, her mood lighter, her laughter more frequent.
But then there’s him.
It happens as the family pauses near a small café. You’re distracted, helping Estelle adjust the straps of her sunhat while Tony orders espressos, croissants, and a ridiculously overpriced cup of hot chocolate for the twins. Cora’s off to the side, flipping through postcards at a nearby vendor stand, when you notice a boy about her age approaching her.
He’s tall, with tousled dark hair, sharp cheekbones, and a confidence that screams “Parisian charm.” He says something in French, his voice lilting in a way that immediately draws Cora’s attention. She blushes, brushing her hair behind her ear as she responds—haltingly but gamely—in the French she’s been practicing since she knew about the trip.
Tony notices it too.
“What’s happening here?” he says, his tone shifting to dad mode as he steps closer, coffee cup in hand.
“Oh, relax,” you say, biting back a smile. “He’s just flirting with her.”
Tony narrows his eyes. “Flirting? In broad daylight? In front of me?”
“He probably doesn’t know you’re her dad,” you tease, leaning closer. “She does have my genes, after all.”
Tony smirks but doesn’t lose his focus on the boy. “Well, he’s about to find out.”
Before he can make a move, the twins return, each holding a baguette that’s nearly as big as they are. Alex squints at the scene unfolding by the postcards.
“Hey, who’s that guy talking to Cora?” he asks, his mouth full of bread.
“Probably her new boyfriend,” Howard says, grinning mischievously.
“Not helping,” Tony mutters.
“Let’s just give her some space,” you suggest, tugging gently on his arm. “She’s allowed to talk to boys, you know.”
Tony sighs but relents, though he keeps a close eye on the interaction. Eventually, the boy waves goodbye and walks away, leaving Cora clutching her postcards with a dazed expression. When she rejoins the group, Tony can’t help himself.
“So, who’s your new friend?” he asks, trying (and failing) to sound casual.
Cora glares at him. “Nobody. Just some guy.”
“Did he give you his number?” Alex asks, grinning.
“Did he try to kiss you?” Howard adds.
“Guys, stop,” Cora groans, her cheeks turning bright red.
Tony crosses his arms. “Was his name Pierre? Because he looked like a Pierre.”
You smack his arm lightly, laughing. “Tony, let it go.”
Despite the teasing, the moment passes, and the family moves on to the next adventure. The twins, however, are not so easily distracted.
That evening, as you’re lounging in the hotel room, flipping through a travel guide, the boys march up to you and Tony with matching determined expressions.
“We want to go to Disneyland,” Alex announces.
“Disneyland Paris,” Howard clarifies.
“Please, Mom?” Alex adds, turning his best puppy-dog eyes on you.
Tony snorts. “You’ve got to be kidding me. We came all the way to Paris, and you want to see Mickey Mouse?”
“Oui, Mickey,” Estelle chimes in from her spot on the bed, clapping her hands.
You glance at Tony, who’s already shaking his head. But then Cora chimes in, a small smile playing on her lips.
“It could be fun,” she says. “And the twins have been really sweet to me lately. I think they deserve it.”
Tony groans. “You’re killing me, kid.”
The next day, you find yourself standing in the middle of Disneyland Paris, surrounded by excited children, cotton candy stands, and the sound of cheerful Disney music. The twins are practically vibrating with excitement, dragging Cora from one attraction to the next.
Estelle is equally thrilled, her eyes wide as she points at every princess she sees, babbling excitedly about their dresses.
“Look at her,” Tony says, watching Estelle hug a life-sized Winnie the Pooh with absolute joy. “She’s two, and she already knows how to work the system.”
“She’s your daughter,” you tease, linking your arm with his.
The day is a whirlwind of rides, character meet-and-greets, and an obscene amount of overpriced snacks. Tony tries to talk his way into a VIP area at one point, but you manage to reel him back before he starts name-dropping himself.
Later, as the sun begins to set, the kids are busy chasing bubbles near Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, and you and Tony find a rare moment of peace on a nearby bench.
“Remember the last time we were in Paris?” he says, his voice low and teasing.
You glance at him, raising an eyebrow. “I do. And I remember how much wine we drank that night.”
Tony smirks. “It was a good night. A productive night.”
“Tony,” you say, laughing softly.
“What?” he says, feigning innocence. “I’m just saying, nine months later, we had Cora. Coincidence? I think not.”
You shake your head, leaning into him. “You’re impossible.”
“And you love it,” he says, pressing a kiss to your temple.
For a moment, it’s just the two of you, the chaos of the day fading into the background. Tony takes your hand, his thumb brushing over your knuckles.
“You’re amazing, you know that?” he says quietly. “Keeping this whole crazy family together, making sure everyone’s happy…”
“You help,” you say, smiling up at him.
He grins. “Yeah, but you’re the glue. The sexy, unstoppable glue.”
You laugh, resting your head on his shoulder. “I love you.”
“Love you too, Mrs. Stark,” he murmurs.
The moment is interrupted by Estelle toddling over, holding a sticky cotton candy in her hands. “Mama! Dada!” she says, grinning. “Candy!”
Tony scoops her up, laughing. “All right, princess. Let’s get you cleaned up before you stick to everything.”
As the fireworks light up the night sky, you watch your family, your heart full. Cora is smiling again, the twins are their usual mischievous selves, and even Estelle is giggling as Tony pretends to “steal” her cotton candy.
It’s not perfect, but it’s yours. And in this moment, it’s everything you could ever want.
Returning to Miami is bittersweet. After the whirlwind adventure in Paris, filled with laughter, healing, and plenty of magical moments, the familiarity of home feels both comforting and a little dull in comparison. The private jet touches down mid-morning, and as you step onto the tarmac, the heat wraps around you like an old friend. Estelle claps her hands excitedly at the sight of palm trees, and the twins immediately begin discussing which of their toys they missed most.
Cora, however, is a little quieter than usual. She’s not sulking—in fact, she seems happy—but there’s something in her demeanor, a kind of soft distraction, that doesn’t go unnoticed. You and Tony exchange a knowing glance as you watch her scrolling on her phone, her thumbs moving quickly over the screen as a faint smile plays on her lips.
By the time you’re back at the house, it’s clear that whatever—or whoever—Cora is texting has her full attention. The twins bolt up the stairs to their room, racing to see who can dump their luggage the fastest. Estelle toddles after them, babbling about her stuffed animals and pausing halfway up to plop down and rest.
Cora lingers in the living room, dropping her bags by the couch and flopping down with a sigh. Her phone is still in her hand, and her fingers immediately start typing again.
Tony raises an eyebrow. “So, who’s the lucky recipient of all those texts?”
Cora doesn’t look up, but she does roll her eyes. “Nobody.”
You smirk, taking a seat next to her. “Nobody’s got you smiling at your phone like that? Come on, spill.”
“It’s not a big deal,” she says, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “I’m just talking to some people I met in France.”
Tony sits on the arm of the couch, folding his arms across his chest. “Oh, some people, huh? Are we talking guys, girls, or… Pierre?”
“Dad, seriously?” Cora groans, but she’s laughing despite herself.
“Wait, is it actually Pierre?” you ask, feigning shock.
“No!” Cora insists, finally setting her phone down and looking between the two of you. “His name is Louis. He was in line behind me at the Louvre, and we started talking while we waited. He’s cool, okay? That’s it.”
“Cool enough to text all day?” Tony teases, his grin widening.
“Cool enough to not break my heart, which is more than I can say for other people,” Cora shoots back, though her tone is light.
Tony’s smile falters for just a moment, and you place a hand on his arm, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
“Well,” you say, steering the conversation back to neutral ground, “I think it’s great that you’re making new friends. France clearly left an impression.”
Cora nods, picking up her phone again. “Yeah. Louis and his friends were all really nice. They even invited me to come back someday and visit.”
Tony stiffens. “Visit? Alone? Over my dead body.”
“Tony,” you warn, shooting him a look.
“I’m just saying,” he mutters, leaning back. “Paris is great and all, but it’s a long way from here. And I don’t trust teenage boys. Especially French ones. They’re too charming.”
Cora laughs, shaking her head. “Relax, Dad. It’s not like I’m packing my bags tomorrow. Besides, you liked Paris too, remember? You wouldn’t stop talking about the croissants.”
“She’s got you there,” you say, smiling.
The next few days pass in a blur of unpacking, settling back into routines, and adjusting to the Miami heat. Cora spends a lot of time in her room, but instead of sulking like she had after the breakup, she seems genuinely happy. You often catch her laughing at something on her phone, and her mood has improved so much that even the twins take notice.
At dinner one evening, Alex leans over his plate of spaghetti and asks, “Cora, why are you always on your phone? Are you playing games?”
“No,” she says, twirling her fork. “I’m talking to my friends.”
Howard squints at her. “What friends? You don’t have any friends here.”
“Not here,” Cora says patiently. “In France. Remember the trip we just took? I met some people there.”
“Like Pierre?” Alex asks, grinning.
“His name is Louis,” Estelle pipes up, repeating what she’s heard so many times over the past few days. She giggles as if she understands the joke.
“Okay, dinner table rule,” you say, holding up a hand. “No teasing your sister about her friends. Got it?”
“Yes, Mom,” the twins say in unison, though you can tell they’re not entirely sincere.
After dinner, as you’re cleaning up in the kitchen, Tony wanders in, a dishtowel slung over his shoulder.
“So, what do you think about this Louis kid?” he asks, leaning against the counter.
“I think he’s halfway across the world and just a friend,” you reply, rinsing a plate. “And I think it’s good for Cora to have someone to talk to who isn’t us.”
Tony sighs. “Yeah, I guess. But I’m not thrilled about the idea of her running off to Europe to visit him someday.”
“She’s not running off anywhere,” you say, setting the plate in the drying rack. “And if she ever did, it wouldn’t be without a lot of planning—and probably a chaperone.”
Tony smirks. “So, you’re saying I’d have to go too?”
“Obviously,” you say, smiling. “You’d hate to miss out on more croissants.”
As the days turn into weeks, Cora continues to text Louis and his group of friends, her phone buzzing at all hours with messages and pictures. You catch glimpses of their conversations occasionally—photos of the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, jokes about the Louvre’s long lines, and even a video of someone attempting to skateboard in a cobblestone alley.
The twins remain mildly suspicious of this new development, but their jealousy is quickly forgotten whenever Cora agrees to join them for a game of basketball or a movie night.
One afternoon, as you’re sitting on the patio with Tony, watching Estelle splash around in the kiddie pool, he leans over and says, “You know, I think she’s really okay now.”
You follow his gaze to where Cora is lounging in a hammock, laughing at something on her phone.
“She is,” you agree, resting your head on his shoulder. “And that’s all that matters.”
Tony wraps an arm around you, pulling you closer. “You know, we’re pretty good at this whole parenting thing.”
“Speak for yourself,” you tease. “I’m the glue, remember?”
He laughs, kissing the top of your head. “Fair enough. But I’m the fun one.”
“Sure you are,” you say, smiling as you watch your family, your heart full.

In 2024 I kinda stopped watching cr. No reason, guess I got into other stuff and lost interest (you know how hyperfixations are). Because of that I have some unfinished drawings that will probably never finish, but that I still somewhat like so I wanna post them anyway. These are all from 2022. (Click them for better quality)
This one I’m actually so sad I never finished :( It’s Fearne in art nouveau style heavily inspired by Mucha. Those flowers and leafs in her head look so good how did I do that
My little pony Imogen and Laudna, because of course. I wanted Laudna’s magic to look inky.
I’m pretty sure this is when Imogen first had a burst of her Ruidus powers and destroyed a whole street. The wings are made of magic.
I think campaign 3 just ended? So no better time than now to post these.

Cruel Summer Ch. 7
Donations | Thoughts & Feelings | Cruel Summer Series | Chapter 6
You grinned at the crowd as you grabbed your guitar and stood at the mic. “Welcome to the acoustic set!” you laughed as they all cheered loudly. “So originally I was going to sing a few songs that you guys already know.” You grinned as they continued to cheer. “But…I have a very special reason for wanting to play this one song…it's new, never before been heard by ANYONE but my manager…so I hope you’ll like it!” you grinned as you began to strum the guitar.
‘This happens once every few lifetimes
These chemicals hit me like white wine
What if I told you I'm back?
The hospital was a drag
Worst sleep that I ever had
I circled you on a map
I haven't come around in so long
But I'm coming back so strong’
You beamed as you stepped by to strum for a few moments before stepping back up to the mic.
‘So when I touch down
Call the amateurs and
Cut 'em from the team
Ditch the clowns, get the crown
Baby I'm the one to beat
Cause the sign on your heart
Said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
Hey you, what if I told you we're cool?
That child's play back in school
Is forgiven under my rule
I haven't come around in so long
But I'm making a comeback to where I belong …’
You continued the song, singing and glancing toward the VIP tent with a large smile covering your face. You wanted Chris to enjoy this as much as you’d enjoyed being loved by someone so openly.
‘These blokes warm the benches
We been on a winning streak
He jokes that it's heroin but this time with an "E"
Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me
Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
Shirts off, and your friends lift you up over their heads
Beer sticking to the floor
Cheers chanted, cause they said
There was no chance, trying to be
The greatest in the league
Where's the trophy?
He just comes running over to me’
As you finished playing the song, the crowd erupted in cheers. You saw people taking photos of the VIP area as well, so you stood and laughed softly while they filmed, took photos of themselves with you in the background, and just overall cheered with excitement. You moved over to the piano, sitting down and smiling out at the crowd as you moved toward the mic. “Now this one? This one you definitely know.” you leaned back and began playing ‘Daylight’ inciting more screams and cheering.
‘My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in
Everyone looked worse in the light
There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven
I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night
And now I see daylight, I only see daylight’
Chris watched proudly as you sang, he couldn’t believe you two were together and happy. Even given how hectic your lives had been lately, you two still made time for each other. He grinned watching you as others watched him, taking photos and videos. Which you both would gush over later. He couldn’t wait to show you off to all your friends either. He was finally happy, finally with someone who cared about him as a person, and not because of who he was.
‘Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky
And so I became the butt of the joke
I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked
Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke
Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down
Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town
Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now
It's brighter now, now
As you performed, you couldn’t stop smiling; you hoped he would listen to these words and understand how in love you were with him. As the song came to an end, Chris cheered and whistled loudly as you bowed.
You finished the concert, blowing a kiss to the crowd before going backstage to meet Chris. He stood there, grinning as you leaped into his arms, pressing a tender kiss to his lips. “Incredible,” he whispered as you grinned. “Yeah? You like the new song?” you asked as he chuckled, Y/E/C shining brightly as you looked up at him, “I loved it. I love you,” he said as you stared into his eyes, a grin taking over your features. “I love you too,” you whispered, pressing your lips into his again.
Once you changed into a pair of sun bleached jeans, a white tank top with a tan crocheted beach top over it. You hopped into the car with Chris and took off on what would turn out to be a life changing weekend.
When you both arrived, Chris told you he was going down to the beach where the guys were hanging out around a fire, and you decided to look for the girls. You found them all out on the back patio, and walked through the kitchen to access the back patio. There was Scarlet, along with Ali and a few of her friends. “Hey!” you were speaking to Scarlet, who stood up and grinned, however Ali practically shoved her out of the way and bear hugged you. “Oh my god!” she giggled again, clearly tipsy if not drunk already. “I can’t believe you’re here!” She shouted laughing with her friends. You looked from her to Scarlet and smiled. “Yep!” it was a fake smile but you attempted to look happy. “We have to get you a drink before we make our way down to the beach where the guys are!” she said as she drugged you into the house.
-Chris’s POV-
You greeted the guys as you approached them, seeing Robert, Jeremy, Mark, Sebastian, and Anthony. The rest of the group was either guys that Chris knew from his life or his family members, like his brother. “Hemsworth! About time you showed up!” Evans laughed as the girls squealing on the deck cause all the guys to look up there. “What’s she doing here? Thought she wasn’t invited Evans.” Robert asked, trying to stifle a laugh. “She wasn’t.” Evans replied in a sharp, venom dripping tone as his nostrils flared a bit. “She came with me. Is there something wrong with her being here?” you asked as everyone got a seat around the fire.
“Come on Hemsworth we’ve all seen the tabloids…we know you guys are at the very least fucking.” Jeremy said laughing as Mark winched glancing up at you. “Whoa…no, we’re just old friends hanging out. What’s wrong with that?” you asked as the group settled down and glanced at Evans. “Dude…you don’t want to get mixed up in that. Y/N….she’s a nice girl? Bro she’s fuckin psycho. We used to hook up when we all filmed together, she’s a clingy bitch and lousy in bed, the worst mistake I ever made. Just trust me, plus…we’ve all seen it…she used to beg me to film it.” Evans said as a few of the guys tried to hide their laughter.
You raised an eyebrow. “What are you guys talking about? Y/N & I are friends, I’d never dream of dating her. Not in a million years.” you said before the girls giggled from behind you as Ali rushed past, straight into Evans arms. “Look who decided to show up!” she laughed looking at Y/N as she stood by you.
-Y/N POV-
You’d never felt so out of place and awkward in your entire life, hearing the man you were in love with say he’d never date you in a million years stung, alot. The guys were staring at you, some were smirking and eyeing your body, others wouldn’t even meet your eyes, while a few winked, licked their lips and made kissy faces at you. “Y/N has agreed to sing a couple of songs for us!” Ali beamed before looking at you as you looked surprised. “And I know just the songs!” you went to protest but no one backed you up. Not even Hemsworth.
You felt like everyone knew something you didn’t and what made it worse, was overhearing Chris say he’d never date you. You looked surprised to see Ali reappear with a guitar and leaned over to you as you took a seat around the fire. “Can you play…Is It Over Now? And “Slut!”?” she gave you the fakest puppy eyes and in your gut, you knew. She knew. They all fucking knew.
You swallowed, and strummed the guitar and tuned it before looking up and across the fire. You saw Chris sitting with Evans and a couple other cast members not even looking at you. Scarlet held a sad look on her face as you began to sing.

when i was 14, i stopped reading books. i’ve always put it down to being humongously depressed at the time, which isn’t, like, untrue, but a much more significant reason was that the time i previously spent reading, i now spent on social media.
i was allowed to get my first smartphone when i was 11, started saving up for it for, and then actually bought it when i was just shy of 13. then i got tumblr and youtube and started spending more and more time on there, and my reading time decreased until it was nonexistent, and it stayed that way for years.
then the pandemic hit and i started reading again, just a little, and then more when i switched to e-books, because it made my book as accessible as social media. it’s been a bit touch and go since then due to my mental health, but i am actually reading again, and i love it. but i’m still spending too much time on social media and these last few weeks i’ve come to realise that i don’t even enjoy it that much, really, so why am i doing it?
so i’m going to put hard screen time limits on tiktok, reddit, and twitter, hopefully for the whole summer but we’ll see how it goes. and a soft limit on tumblr. i won’t do anything about desktop because i don’t waste time in the same way there. but i’m putting limits on my phone and tablet. actually i don't know if the screen time thingy on apple lets you put hard limits but i'm going to go find out now!
#she speaks#arctic is an ex bookworm#met up with a friend and talked books and realised. wow i know a lot of books and what happens in them.#but i read them like. years ago. and that makes me sad#i want to read more now because books are great i love books#we're going to (hopefully) do an asoiaf book club over the summer!! but i'm a much faster reader so i'll need to read something alongside i#i'm 90% through two books rn and i've stopped reading them because i think i was unsure of what to do once i was done with them#because both are the first of a series and i'm not sure i want to continue. but i don't have to! i can just read the first!#it's fine! i get to decide what i read and if a book isn't working yeet that bitch#i do wanna finish them though. and one of the series i want to read. just not the other#the other would be a re-read and that series just isn't good enough to re-read. i just randomly got the urge to read the first book#and maaaybe the second but now. probably not#the other would also be a re-read except for the final book because it came out during the Great Reading Drought#it's also like. for middle grade readers lmao#but i liked it!! and i never finished it!!! i wanna know how it ends!!!!#and while the story doesn't really have much to offer to adult!me the language is just fantastic i love it so much

I DONT KNOW N O T H I NG I KNOW LESS THAN NOTHING#HOW?? HOW DID I GET HERE???

slowly but surely going through the holy trinity of tumblr fandoms. superwholock you may be more legend than substance at this point but i will collect all three like pokemon cards
#im like. a decade or so late#i will not let this stop me however#finished the bbc sherlock last year#it was good. no further notes i enjoyed it and i seeing cumberbatch in the reserved genius role never gets old#started doctor who today#the effects are killing me the stretchy bin was funny as hell#fourteen seasons is insane btw#utterly deranged#i doubt i'll make it through them all tbh#i still aot that i need to finish#my cousin was so mad i dropped it lmaoooo#but like. i feel like i know how it's gonna end#eren is definitely dead#ain't no way he's alive#the fact that armin is the narrator also gives me a 🤨 moment#but yeah it's really good too#like i do wanna finish it. eventually

a friend who'd wait :)
#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops.#and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can!#and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol#finn's ocs#finn's art#i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me#and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun#i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here:#barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past#he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it#he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned#which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them#they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore#but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird#and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place#though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library#and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together#since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door#eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement#barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time.#barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate#but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd#he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself#but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done.#and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies.#and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them)#and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances''#from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov#sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3#but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh

also fuckin hell mad props to my coworker for training me to close my very first day with just the two of us and the fact that i did well
cause FUCK is it hard
#i had to train someone today essentially and. ended up falling behind#i think i did okay? shes an older lady so i didnt wanna overwhelm her BUT also wanted to let her know a little bit of everything#cause thats how i thrived in a deli#i felt super bad tho cause it was her second day. as she was putting cold protein into the cooler. her fingers got caught#between the cold protein cart and a chub cart. and i KNOW that shit hurts. but then she took off her gloves and the skin broke/she bled#so we had to deal w that#so i was basically like 'okay. i can show you how to do xyz. but what do you wanna do? help with xyz or do a#different task like abc?' and she chose abc which was easier but also harder imo?#its a job i never have time to do. and you gotta find small text a lot#HOWEVER its not like required you stay long to finish. and imo its less taxing than cleaning sharp slicers#cleaning hot food cases. sweeping. spraying. scrubbing. then drying the floors#and i was running behind so stayed like 20 after#plus it was busy#also also she had helped someone who asked for FIVE POUNDS of PEPPERONI#and then kept apologizing that she was going slow i had to literally be like 'no no no no its FIVE POUNDS of our SMALLEST meat#you are going/went as fast as you could AND they have no right to complain after asking you to do that much of it'#because THAT pissed me off a bit w the customer. like. youre asking for FIVE POUNDS?????? Can you call AHEAD PLEASE????#amber's shit you can ignore

Yooooo you worked at Michaels too?
(Ex-Framing department employee here)
YEA LETS GO EX-FRAMING DEPARTMENT they never even got around to teaching me production it was all wrapping and taking orders :/ Idk how it is at other shops but we only had 3 people working the whole frame shop. One person did ALL the frame assembly and us other two handled everything else. Was absolutely not worth $11/hr. man fuck retail. FUCK Design Hub too, if I may
#id come in for my like 4 hour shift and would have to run + close shop which included wrapping#wrapping storing calling for all orders done plus get all yhe frames lined plus unpack and clean up all the new frames coming in all by#all by the end of the night PLUS frame shop had to clean the bathrooms every night#plus actually running the front desk and taking orders and sometimes ppl would take hours picking matts that would cut into the time i had#to have everything else finished PLUS if i for some reason had everything done on time theyd make me run sales floor too#it was insane all the stuff they had me learn for such shit pay like. and#never work michales but never do it around the holidays more important#you will never escape the glitter#all that and my framing manager never got around to teaching me how to assemble a frame.#at least it was nice to hide in the frame shop so i wasnt talking to customers 24/7 but still#customers treat you so horribly like i was sweeping once and this lady comes up to me like saying the bathroom was disgusting right#and i get it. it was always disgusting. but we did clean it every night. anyway its hard when you cant just tell people that 1.#1 we clean them every night so if theres a huge mess in it most likely it was another shopper who pissed on the floor just cuz.#and 2 they only give us a mop and some pine sol to clean the whole 2 bathrooms every night. dont blame me blame michals lol#everything else was just so stupid#i wanna know how many framing department ppl everyone else had because we had 2 part time and 1 full time and i was only there a few months

tw // suicide
on twitter some ppl were talking about THAT jo scene from iw again and someone commented fucking "you know he was thinking about using that gun on himself" and im not sane anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! added something something his faith in ichi kept him hopeful enough in the moment but then when he went to jail oh. ohhh !!!!!!!!!!!
nooo cause if That Jo Scene is the flashback scene with hoshino's death that really had to be SUUUCH a low point if not top five lowest points for him i wanted to throw up watching that <- replays it in my brain constantly
#iw spoilers#snap chats#UGH I WANNA REPLAY IW SO BAD i still wanna see the scenes with english dubbing but i wanna finish lost judgment first#in any case no i love that scene. like you can see the will to live leave jo's body as he goes to sit down#god naw cause i was laughing (read: crying) over how jo really let that dog comment get to him. loved that really ....#i do enjoy the added context to sawashiro and his relationship with ichi even if its sort of one sided#like ichis never really harbored ill will towards him- hes not happy about how sawashiro treated him back then LOL#but it was still clear he respected him#with sawashiro- like once you know the whole locker mix up secret then it contextualizes their relationship (from jo's pov anyway)#but just sawashiro having actually MET akane and speaking with her and listening to her wish .. idk.#its a nice thought that- for as hard as he is on ichi- he is trying to look out for him for akane's sake#emphasis on For As Hard As He Is like my man you dont gotta take his finger off 💀💀 in any case ...#maybe thats just optimistic thinking but its a nice thought. This All In Relation to having faith in ichi to Not game end himself 💀#god but sawashiro in jail .. i really wouldve paid money just to know what was going through his head#how he reacted to aoki's death the moment he was told- like he already knew aoki never valued him but still... fathers love and all#ive rambled long enough vjlLKVEJVLKEJ BYE

Gonna add max tags and max characters to each cause who cares
#the limit to the number of characters is 140 and I can’t use the same tag twice so this may take time. also I can’t add commas easily so sor#ry for the run on sentences. I doubt anyone will read all this. it’s gonna take a while to write. maybe I just keyboard smash. but that seem#s unoriginal or cheating. and I also wanna use chat gpt but that feels kinda lame? it’s frowned on so much and I don’t wanna be frowned on a#nd idk. I guess I care about what strangers on the internet care about more than myself. which I shouldn’t. I’ll be better tho. anyway i ams#going to be rambling a bit here. but I don’t care. probably no one will read this anyways. maybe I can try some constrained writing prompts.#what with only 140 characters. people usually write a lot of stuff and better under constraints. cause humans be weird sometimes. why on ear#th did I do this to myself???? maybe I will smash!!! agdkdgakfhs!!!! SHDOAGSKFHSJ!!!! bleaugholofomodowopoidk!!! weeepeedeepeedooooooo!! idk#this is boring. I’m only 8 tags in and I’m tired. who knows why I do these things. the mind is a mysterious place. who knows why we do wha w#e do. …. …. idk man. I was gonna say some more stuff about the mind and how weird it is. but I forgor ): now I feel a bit s#ad. but maybe I will remember before the end of this…. spaces make it easier so#spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaceeeeeeesssssss. lol#gonna copy paste 138 spaces in a row and copy paste. then add number at end to make each unique… then this would go so fast…. but is#that cheating? I mean I put these rules on myself. only I would really care if I broke them. but it feels wrong to#so maybe I’ll get this done naturally. with a whole bunch’s spaces to replace a comma. it’ll go so much faster. (:#tag 15. halfway there. goin faster than I thought it would. time flies or something ig. I have an idea#imma try to say all the copypastas I kinda know by memory cause who fucking cares: firstly first. I am gonna do the one about the fitnes#“the fitness gram pace test is a multilevel test that involves many things. like running and sit-ups and push ups and jumping jack eh idk#now for rick roll copypasta. not a real rickroll tho cause there is warning so it’s all cool.
