Has anyone been able to unlock this dialogue with Del Lawson yet? I haven't been able to trigger it.

If Argo ever became a victim and the team had to solve his death, how would his case roughly play out? What would be the events that happen between chapters, and what would the AI be?

Nolan already has one in the works lol

Personally thinking of him being killed in a alleyway by a thug or someone, or maybe even die at Lawson’s own hands and the team had to figure out whether it really was Lawson, or someone else

If I had a nickel for every time I was asked how I would kill Argo off, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice!

I'm sorry I took so long to respond to this ask. I was waiting until I posted a specific chapter ("If You Love Somebody, Let Them Go") in my story before answering it. I needed it to reveal a significant change I’m making to Argo’s story, which plays a part in this answer.

Now that I’ve done that and thought out how to write this hypothetical case let’s see one way I could potentially kill Argo! I’m going to lay it out similar to how I plot out my OG cases in my notebook. (Yes, I have a notebook for OG cases, and yes, it's OCD-level organized to the point that it’s colour-coded by season.)

Info for this case before getting into it:

This murder substitutes the final case. Someone once asked me in an OG case I made for S3 (“Murder From The Past”) if I would kill off Argo in the final case instead of Charlie (I hadn’t even introduced Argo yet, and people already wanted to know if I would kill him or not!). So you’ll see that some things from Last Stand For Justice will be reused for this OG case

Argo and Diego have gotten back together (Argo and Jason broke up during Coyote Gorge) and have been romantically involved since the start of Crimson Banks

For the sake of parts of this case, we'll say that the Squad was already aware that Argo and Diego aren't human (Not sure if they’ll find out in my story or not yet)

The transition between this and the case before it is similar to canon, but instead of Charlie returning to the airship, it’s Argo, and Isaac goes with him

Since Maddie just gave birth and her husband isn't missing, instead of her going to the airship, it’s Arthur with Katherine (who escaped with the Squad during “Best Laid Plans”) tagging along since she knows how to avoid the Justice Corps thanks to the Resistance. That’s how they end up as the investigators

Disclaimer: The order of steps varies; this is just a rough outline of what would happen in each chapter

Steps - Chapter 1

Investigate Airship Navigation room:

Victim’s body (autopsy - Dick)

Police notebook (faded name on the cover; decipher name; Constable Ramirez. New suspect: Constable Ramirez)

Talk to Isaac about the murder (admits he and Argo got separated on the way to the airship, and when he arrived, Argo was already dead)

Talk to Ramirez about being on the crime scene (reveals the Justice Corps tasked him to guard the airship after the Squad escaped but had stepped away for a snack break during the time of the murder, and he never saw Argo enter the airship)

****New Crime scene: Squad Airship (Prerequisite: talk to Ramirez)

Investigate Squad Airship:

Bag (Search; baby supplies; note addressed to Maddie. New suspect: Maddie O’Malley)

Caspian’s letter carrier (Unlock; Coded message; analyze - Evie)

Talk to Maddie about the baby bag (discover she asked for Argo to grab the bag of baby items she had to leave behind on the airship when they fled. Maddie is shocked to find out Argo is dead, and Charlie comforts)

Get results: Autpsoy and coded message

Autopsy revealed: killer eats ration biscuits; left crumbs on Argo’s body

Code message revealed: killer knows The Caesar Cipher; coded message was from Argo to his killer asking him to meet him at the airship

****Chapter transition: Charlie interrupts Arthur and Katherine, who were summarizing the case, to announce he’d just received a telegram from a Resistance member informing them that Argo had been spotted at the harbour before his death

Steps - Chapter 2

Investigate Capitol Peak Harbour:

Flying Squad badge (faded engraving; dust; badge number; Arthur IDs it as Diego’s badge number (there are less than ten members; I doubt that many badges have been issued that Arthur doesn't know which belongs to who). New suspect: Diego del Lobo)

Torn newspaper article (Repair; old article about Isaac’s brother’s death. Talk to Isaac again)

Damaged Caspian; substance on wings (Swab wings; unknown transparent substance; analyze - Viola)

Inform Diego of Argo’s death (Reveals he visited the airship after hearing the Squad had been captured; assumes he must have dropped his badge on the way there as he carries it to remind himself there is still hope true justice will be restored. After being told Argo is dead, Diego becomes distraught and is unconsolable hearing his lover is dead)

Talk to Isaac about the newspaper article (Same as canon; it reveals the truth behind his brother’s death and how Argo found the article, causing the old memories to resurface)

Get results: Unknown substance

Reveals the killer uses moisturizer as it was the unknown substance on Caspian’s wing, but it was not the type Argo used, so it had to have been left by the killer. Viola speculates the killer must have attacked Caspian during the murder and brought the bird to the harbour to dispose of him in the water

Investigate airship gangway:

Argo’s crutches with crumbs on them (Collect with vacuum; unknown crumbs; analyze - Viola)

Toolbox (Search; ID band; compare; Jason’s ID code. New Suspect: Jason Nicchi)

Talk to Jason about his toolbox being on the crime scene (Learn that Mayor Lawson tasked him with checking the airship for traps the Squad could have set. Knew nothing about the murder and was shocked Argo was dead)

Get results: Crumbs

Crumbs belonged to trail mix. Katherine recalls that was the snack Constable Ramirez had mentioned eating

Ask Constable Ramirez about why he handled Argo’s crutches (Confesses he went aboard the airship after the murder and found Argo’s body, dropping trail mix on the crutches after seeing the dead detective. Panicked and ran out of the airship, taking the crutches since his trail mix was on them and hiding them outside to avoid becoming a suspect)

****Chapter transition: Same as in canon; Lady Highmore tells everyone to hide because Judge Umbright is coming, so Arthur and Katherine leave the mansion to search the harbour again

Steps - Chapter 3

Investigate Capitol Peak Harbour Docks:

Locked ring box (Decode lock: open; engagement ring with engraving “Mi Corazón Es Tuyo - Tu Lobo”. Talk to Diego again)

Torn fabric (Repair; Fiocco Nascita with George Dupont’s name and birth info. Talk to Maddie again)

Trash can (Search; Gun; analyze - Rose)

Question Diego about the engagement ring for Argo (Reveals he was going to ask Argo to marry them (even if it was just a symbolic marriage) after the fall of the Justice Corps)

Ask Maddie about George’s Fiocco Nascita (Tells them that Argo made the Fiocco Nascita for George and that she regrets asking Argo to find her baby bag, thinking she caused him to spend unnecessary time on the airship, which allowed his killer to get him)

Get results: Handgun

Discover the gun is the murder weapon. Rose also discovers that these guns are used by the Justice Corps and are manufactured by Jason. Talk to Jason again)

Confront Jason about building the murder weapon (Is shocked to find out he made the gun that killed Argo but promises he did nothing more than build the guns on Mayor Lawson’s orders. He doesn't know who the gun was issued to)

Investigate Airship wheel:

Argo’s necklace with substance on shell (Collect; transparent substance; analyze - Viola)

Broken ship’s wheel (Repair; restored ship’s wheel; analyze - Charlie)

Get results: Substance and ship’s wheel

Transparent substance: Killer’s tears: reveals the killer has brown eyes

Ship’s wheel: Fibres caught in the wheel: reveals the killer has torn clothes as the fibres did not match Argo’s clothes

Arrest Killer: Diego del Lobo (Or is he???)

Diego confesses that Argo has asked to meet him at the airship as they had been secretly communicating about how to take down Justin. No one was around when they arrived, so they were going to grab what they needed and then flee to join the rest of the Squad at Lady Highmore’s mansion

But Justin appeared and caught them sharing a kiss in the navigation room. Furious, Justin demands to know why Diego (still wearing his Eddie Lebold disguise) was kissing a wanted man

Diego’s real identity is discovered, and Justin draws his gun, planning to take Diego and Argo in himself. The couple pleads for Justin to put the gun away and promise to go with him willingly, but Justin keeps ranting about “perfecting justice” and “ridding the world of corruption” while brandishing the gun

During the argument, Justin shoots at Diego, but Argo steps in front of his boyfriend and takes the bullet meant for Diego. The two stumble backwards into the airship’s wheel, breaking it and collapsing to the floor

Diego is distraught as he holds Argo while he’s dying, and Justin, shocked by what he’d done, leaves without trying to take Diego in

Argo dies in Diego’s arms and asks his boyfriend to take his heart (The Heart of The Ocean; long story short, magical rock that serves as Argo’s heart) so it won’t fall into the wrong hands before he passes

Diego does as requested and takes Argo’s heart; somehow, Argo’s body sustains a physical form. Diego assumes it might have something to do with the fact that the stone is cracked because of the bullet, and thus, the magic is on the fritz

Diego hid the heart in a safe location to retrieve it after Justin was taken down. But Arthur and Katherine caught Diego before he could find evidence to prove Justin killed Argo since Diego didn’t think they would just take his word for it

Thankfully, they believed him, and while they still kept Diego locked in a bedroom, the Squad now focuses their efforts on taking down Justin and getting justice for Argo

****Chapter transition: After Diego’s “arrest,” Maddie appears to reveal George has been taken by Judge Umbright like in canon (but happens late in this case), and now they have to save the baby and take down Justin

Steps - Chapter 4/Additional Investigation

****Following the introduction of the AI, we need to talk to Rose about George’s kidnapping and Diego about defeating Justin

****Maddie and Charlie stand in as partners for the George plotline

****Isaac and Arthur partner for the Justin plotline

Rescuing George Dupont plotline:

Talk to Rose and find out about her plan to save George

Investigate the Navigation room

Baby box (Unlock; baby rattle; analyze - Rose)

Get results: Weaponized rattle

Rescue George Dupont from Judge Umbright using the weaponized rattle

Defeating Justin Lawson plotline:

Ask Diego about his and Argo's plan to take down Lawson (Charlie still made the tracking device but was less involved in the “True Justice” plan since Argo takes his place in this case)

Investigate Squad Airship

Broken pieces (Repair; tracking device; analyze - Charlie)

Get results: Tracking Device

Canon results about how we need to wait until Justin stops moving to catch him

Timeskip happens - Charlie reports that Justin has stopped at the Capitol Peak harbour

Investigate Capitol Peak Harbour

Tracking device

The battle between Justin and the Squad happens like in canon, but he confesses to killing Argo. However, he no longer feels guilty since Argo was “against justice” and disobeyed Justin

Justin shoots Isaac, but the bulletproof vest saves him, and while Justin is distracted, Arthur shoots the mayor in the heart, killing him

Since they are at the harbour and Justin is standing close to the edge of the dock, he falls into the water, but by the time Arthur and Isaac reach the dock’s edge, his body is carried away by the waves and is never recovered. It was lost at sea forever, never to have a proper final resting place

(It was the ocean’s revenge for Justin killing her heart. His soul can never truly be at peace)

Everyone regroups following Justin’s death. Diego is released now that Argo’s true killer is gone, and he’s officially cleared of the murder despite taking Argo’s heart (since the Squad knows Argo isn’t human, they understand why Diego did it and therefore, he isn’t charged for any crime)

The plot continues as usual, with Lady Highmore becoming the new mayor, followed by Argo's funeral. His body was cremated, and his ashes were scattered at sea at the cove behind his house

Diego recovered the Heart of The Ocean from where he hid it but didn’t return it to the sea, hoping he could find a way to fix the cracks and bring Argo back

Another time skip happens, and the Squad meets in the airship, where everyone reminisces about Argo. Charlie says he has something that might help with their grief that he brought to work but left in his automobile. Maddie goes with him to collect it

After investigating the gangway, they find the film reel Charlie had brought, and after recovering the label to make sure it's the right one, the Squad gathers in Charlie’s lab to watch the film

The film shows the message Argo recorded in case anything happened to him while trying to take down Justin. He talks about how thankful he is to have met the Squad and the friends he has made since coming to Concordia. He tells his family and friends he loves them, along with other personalized heartfelt messages for his family and teammates. The film concludes with a message for Diego where Argo tells him how much he loves him and wishes they could have spent eternity together and hopes one day they will meet again, either in this life or the next

After the film ends, Arthur tells the team that the Squad will be going on an extended vacation. However, Diego announces that he will not be returning to the Squad and plans to leave Concordia to find a way to restore the Heart of The Ocean. The team tells him he is welcome to return and they will always be there for him if he needs help

Phew! That was a workout! Admittedly, my real OG case outlines aren’t this detailed, but this still gives you an insight into how I plot out my OG cases and keep track of everything!

While this isn’t an entirely new original case, I wanted to try my hand at using the idea of Argo taking Charlie’s place as the final victim. Which version do you think is more tragic? Canon or this one?

Either way, I’ll get the tissues!

Thank you for the ask, st4r-th0ughts! This was a fun challenge, and I loved creating a case in which one of my MCs was the victim! (Now that’s a dark thing to be happy about…)

Random Astrology Observations

Moon in the 1h is often talked about like 🥺🥺wears their heart on their sleeve🥹🥹uwu softie way but tbh Moon in 1h can make someone incredibly manipulative, they know just what to say and when to say it and know how to work their audience, this is perhaps why this placement is found in the charts of soooo many successful actors. ex: Leonardo DiCaprio, Audrey Hepburn, Henry Cavill, Charlie Chaplin, Priyanka Chopra, Antonio Banderas, Brendan Fraser, Benicio Del Toro, Jared Padelecki, Val Kilmer, Adrien Brody etc

I think this is a very manipulative placement, again manipulation is not in and of itself a bad thing, its what we use it for that matters. Some people completely lack the ability to manipulate at all (they don't have Moon influence)

2. Debilitated placements point to unconventional intelligence & wisdom in that area. I feel like they've cracked the code . They struggle a lot but when they triumph it's magic

3. I've mentioned this in other posts but many notorious sex offenders have Venus influence. Actions of this sort, as well as criticizing others' beauty, not taking care of yourself/surroundings, being shabby or disorderly in general are all things that harm your Venus. Abusing someone is the quickest way to ruin your Venus, you start corroding and that ugliness begins to manifest on the outside.

Ex: Harvey Weinstein looks like a cartoonish villain

4. As I explore the astrology content put out by others across different platforms, I've seen how the nature of the take themselves are so specific and unique to the person making them. Claire Nakti has a tendency imo to focus heavily on romance, sex and women's sexual behaviour and what sort of men they attract.

Going through her website, it's obvious that she's deeply immersed in occult & esoteric philosophy (all of which ties together with vedic astrology, philosophy, Buddhism etc because I truly believe that spiritual truths are universal and different schools of thought/religion/culture/mythology express these same truths in their own way with a LOT of recurring patterns) and Carl Jung as well.

It's studying Jung that helped me understand that what we see or draw from something is a reflection of who we are. As a beginner to vedic astrology, I initially believed Claire's one dimensional portrayal to be the all encompassing truth of a nakshatra until I started doing my own reading and research.

The things I talk about or the patterns I find are a reflection of me and I get a lot of asks about why I don't do xyz nak and honestly it's not as simple as doing research for an essay for uni, you kind of have to have a gnosis or innate knowing of its themes, something to base your search off of. And different naks call to me at different points. I come across content that describes certain naks in lights i could've never imagined which is to say that gnosis or inner knowing is an important aspect of studying anything esoteric, it kind of has to be revealed to you and what you see, what you can discern is a reflection of you.

5. you have to have a strong Rahu to discern patterns and similarities because Rahu is maya/illusion and a well-placed Rahu will allow you to see through those patterns/illusions. it will be very hard for someone without a strong Rahu to find similarities or common tropes, patterns, themes etc. Seeing through the veil or fog is Rahuvian.

6. Claire Nakti made a video about Venusian men where she said they were the ideal type of man and tbh that just confirmed my suspicion that she's Moon dominant because I think Moon dominant people are attracted to Venusians but in my humble opinion both Venusian men and Moon dominant men are some of the most batshit crazy people (manipulative and controlling at the least, psychopathic at worst) basically men who have a lot of Yin tend to be psychotic

7. I've noticed that Revati people tend to speak in a very verbose way. Nigella Lawson, Revati Moon is a really good example. Obviously other placements will also impact speech

8. Moon dominant people hate it when others share sob stories. They're the type to have the least amount of empathy for others and will either react in a neutral way or like they don't understand why you're saying this stuff at all. They're bored by other people's mundane problems and make it known as well. Not people you want to open up to.

My former friend was this way, I once cried in front of her and she showed zero emotion and didn't even try to comfort me lol

9. The way others treat us is the way we treat others. ik this is a basic take but karma is cause and effect. if you're dismissive of others feelings, other people will be dismissive of yours. what you do is what will be done unto you. Its so crazy to see how people who've been treated like shit by their friends will turn around and treat other people like shit. this is sooo basic but genuinely dont do anything to others that you dont want done to you.

the man with the hex // liam lawson

summary: he stayed to hand out candy but actually just wanted to make out. unfortunately, hungry kids won’t wait to ring the doorbell.

pairing: liam lawson x female! reader

warnings: allusions to sex, liam is a horny teenager, very suggestive but no smut, reader gets baby fever real fast and liam has a dirty mouth. I am incapable of writing anything wholesome about this man, apparently.

"jesus fuck!"

"y/n y/m/n y/l/n, watch your language!" her mother shouted from the kitchen

next to her on the couch, liam snickered, pulling her closer. guillermo del toro's 'cabinet of curiosities' was playing on the screen, and y/n had been jumpy throughout the whole episode.

y/n was a gentle soul. she preferred cozy mysteries, and humorous action thrillers as opposed to straight up horror. sure, the pillars of the slasher genre were wonderful films (she's first in line to see any new 'scream' movie), but she did not do well when she was genuinely scared.

"sorry, mom!" she shouted, resting her head against liam's shoulder. "liam has bad taste in movies."

"it's one episode!" the kiwi laughed. "i'm sorry, you can pick the next movie."

y/n rolled her eyes, getting up from the couch to hug her parents goodbye. she and liam had agreed to stay in that night, allowing her parents to go to an annual charity event thrown by one of her fathers friends. her sister was at a party, and as someone who had a quiet, peaceful life and wasn’t always invited to things, y/n was extended a chance to stay at home.

of course, learning that they would have the house to themselves, liam was all too quick to tag along, for less than wholesome reasons. while y/n had planned a couple's movie night, complete with matching hotel transylvania costumes and a stack of scooby doo movies, wheras liam had planned to get her to scream in more ways than one.

y/n got up from the couch, her nylon-clad feet skidding across the hardwood as she went to hug her parents. "bye guys, i'll see you in the morning."

"have a great time, mr. and mrs. (your last intital)!" liam shouted

"no funny business with my daughter, lawson. and no drinking." her father scolded, pointing his finger towards his daughter's boyfriend.

"dad! we're adults, i think we can handle ourselves." she laughed, giving her father a hug before her parents went out the front door.

she closed the door behind them, leaving it unlocked and the jack-o-lantern on the front porch turned on before backtracking to the kitchen and refilling the candy dish she and liam had been snacking from.

"you'll have to keep an ear out for the front door, but other than that, do you want to put beetlejuice on when this is over?" she suggested, bringing the candy bowl back over to the couch and curling into her boyfriend.

"i dunno, your parents are gone, i kind of hand something else on my mind." liam grinned, one hand trailing up her thigh.

"oh yeah?" she purred, maneuvering herself into liam's lap, poking his nose before kissing him softly, her blue lipstick smearing against his skin.

liam cupped her face with his free hand, his other arm going around her waist to pull her closer. she hummed contentedly as she nestled her body into his, taking his top lip in between her own.

“your lipstick tastes good.” liam remarked, lips ringed in the dark blue cosmetic. “like blue raspberry.”

“you’re such a dork.” she giggled, brushing an errant blonde hair out of his face before kissing her lover again.

liam moaned into it, feeling himself grow harder every time that her thigh brushed over his crotch. she was driving him wild, the end of cabinets of curiosities forgotten as they made out like teenagers.

the doorbell rang, startling them both as they jolted on the couch. y/n pulled away from liam, wiping the smudged gloss from her swollen lips before getting off the couch and reaching for the bowl of cadbury chocolates across from her.

“trick or treat!”

there were three kids standing in the doorstep, each dressed as a different superhero as they held pillowcases out in front of them as she dropped handfuls of pocket sized chocolates into the bags.

“you kids have a great night.” she chirped, waving not just to the kids, but to the parents waiting on the sidewalk before slipping back into the house.

she left the plastic candy dish on the front bench, a grin on her face as she went back to the living room. liam hadn’t mailed from the couch, one hand over his eyes and the other clutching a throw pillow over his crotch.

“seriously, liam?” she laughed, reaching for the tv remote. “come on, we have to be aware of our surroundings. little kids are going to be knocking on the door all night.”

liam groaned. “sounds like hell to me, babe.”

she shook her head, grinning as she used the remote to navigate over to the amazon icon to rent ‘beetlejuice.” she was just about to hit rent when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist.

“liam!” she shouted, giggling as he nuzzled his cold nose into the tender flesh of her neck. “you know you’re just gonna get interrupted again, right?”

“don’t care.” he hummed, pressing kisses up and down her throat. “babe, we finally have the house to ourselves and I am so fucking horny for you right now.”

she giggled, extracting herself from liam’s hold to teasingly bend down near the coffee table, placing the realtor back on the glass top. at the sight of her skirt riding up over her orange and black nylon tights, the lacy hem of her panties visible through the nylon as she bent over, the kiwi could hardly contain himself.

especially when there was another ring of the doorbell.

this time, liam offered to get the door, almost dropping the candy bowl as he tried to get the door open, shaking hands unable to grasp the doorknob as be tried to get his breathing under control.

“woah, are you liam lawson?” one of the kids shouted, his voice echoing through the street. “I watched you on tv last week!”

despite himself, liam laughed. “right on, kiddo!” he held his fist out for a fist bump, kneeling to the kids level. “hang on just a second and I’ll get my girlfriend out here to take a picture of the two of us, yeah?”

“you seem cheerful for a man that didn’t want to hand out candy.” y/n chuckled from the doorway. “come on then, pass me his iPod touch or whatever and I’ll get the best fan pics he’s ever seen.”

the kids eyes lit up as liam moved to crouch next to him, matching his height almost exactly as y/n snapped a few pictures.

“your girlfriend is really pretty.” the kid said, giddy as he took his iPod back. “are you guys going to get married?”

liam laughed heartily, tactfully avoiding the question as he asked the kid what his favourite part of the race in qatar had been, dropping a handful of cadbury chocolates into the mummy shaped bucket.

once the kid was gone and the door was closed, he wasted no time in pulling y/n close and sliding his hands up her dress.

“someone’s eager. if anyone should be exited after watching you interact with kids, it should be me.” she giggled, kissing his cheek.

her lipstick was dry now, and liam found himself slightly disappointed that it didn’t leave a mark.

liam raised an eyebrow. “oh, yeah? so in addition to making you scream my name tonight, should I fill you up with my cum? start practicing for when it’s time to get you pregnant?”

she nodded eagerly, wishing for nothing more than liam pressing her up against the foyer wall and taking what he wanted. what they both wanted.

“fuck.” liam breathed, his breath warm on her skin. “you’re really hot when you have baby fever, you know that? and that kid wasn’t even a baby, he was like five.”

“shut up and kiss me, lawson.”

but just as liam leaned in, the fucking doorbell rang.

he cursed, throwing his head back in a groan as y/n gave him a sympathetic smile. she picked up the candy bucket, dutifully opening the front door and greeting the horde of kids who had chased each other up the driveway and around liams bmw.

while her back was turned, distracted by handing out candy, liam reached his breaking point, scrambling to find a piece of paper and a pen.

please take one handful each, and ring the doorbell if bowl is empty. we are home but enjoying a scary movie night and my girlfriend is jumpy :)

when y/n turned away, closing the door behind her, liam was quick to grab the bowl, whisking it away to the kitchen and ignoring his girlfriends confused look as he practically overfilled the bowl, taking on the sign and leaving it on the cast iron bench outside the house.

“now, where were we?” he grinned, pulling her in for a kiss. she broke out into a smile, knowing exactly why liam had done what he did. “that bowl is almost full, it will keep the kids occupied for a very long time.”

“what if someone takes the whole bowl? what then?” she giggled, playfully teasing her lover, hands gently rubbing at his shoulder blades.

“then I’ll buy your mom a new one.” he decided, paying the matter very little attention as he swept his girlfriend off her feet, carrying her bridal style towards the stairs. “now, my fair maiden, you bedroom awaits.”

Pole Position (Formula 1 x lectora)

Resumen: la gran cena de fin de año finalmente daba inicio, y mientras Tania comenzaba a entender el exótico y desligado mundo de la fama, el alcohol la arrimaba a dejarse llevar por los impulsos reprimidos.

Nota de la aurora: me debatía qué iba a hacer con el ritmo y orientación de este libro. Si elegía a uno, si elegía a otro, si metía dramas... Y entonces me di cuenta de que ni siquiera empezamos con la temporada 2025 para Tania. Asi que vamos a meterle dramas, amorios, roces inadecuados y confesiones ¿Por qué no? 😃.

~ Capitulo anterior Capítulo siguiente ~

Masterlist de mi autoría

~ XXII ~

—Mesa 8... oh, hola damita.—

El rostro de Penelope se iluminó al ver a la chica sentarse junto a ella.

Los asientos de la gran cena eran al azar, siendo mesas de hasta 8 invitados. Franco y Tania compartirían mesa con el par de dúos Red Bull, Kelly y Penelope.

—Buenas noches a todos.—Franco saludó en general, acomodándose junto a su amiga.

—Hace rato no te veiamos.—Liam miró a la chica, quien levantó la mirada hacia el piloto—. Fue divertido lo de las entrevistas.—

—Duró poco, el mundo del periodismo es venenoso y resentido... No sirvo para eso.—

—Y breve, cortaron nuestro debate de Cars.—la chica sonrió—. Elegiste el 8 como tu número por ella ¿No? El autito azul y verde.—

—Liam Lawson, eres el primero que adivina eso.—la chica le extendió la mano, y el rubio no tardó en estrecharla divertido—. Mis respetos, ya no te odio tanto.—

—¿Como que odio?—

—Es broma, es broma.—

La comida comenzó a llegar minutos después, pero lejos de comer, Tania estaba distraída con la niña y sus pequeños muñequitos desperdigados por la mesa.

—Deja comer a Tania en paz, P.—Max llamó su atención—. Y come un poco.—

—No tengo hambre.—

—Ven, te ayudaré a picar eso.—Tania tomó los cubiertos y picó la carne de la niña en pequeños cubitos—. ¿Chiquito para que la Barbie pueda comer tambien?—la niña sonrió—. Esta bien, Kelly. No hay problema.—miró a la mujer, quien estaba por llamarle la atención a la niña—. Tengo muchos primos pequeños, estoy acostumbrada y no me molesta. Todo lo contrario.—

—¿juegas conmigo?—

—Si, corazón. Pero primero a comer.—

—Esta muy linda hoy ¿No crees?—

Charles descansaba el mentón en la palma de su mano, mirando distraído a la chica a unas mesas de distancia. Se la veía animada, jugando con la pequeña.

—Ella siempre es linda.—Lando lo miró, ya algo incómodo por la atención que le brindaba a la mujer.

—Ya sé, es solo que, ya sabes... No solemos verla en ese tipo de ropa... Los vestidos le quedan bonitos.—

Oscar miró a Carlos con disimulo, quien arqueó sus cejas divertido.

—No me digan que les gusta la chica.—Lewis los miró a los dos.

—¿A quién no? Si es adorable.—George rió nervioso en cuanto el par de chicos volteó a mirarlo—. No voy a meterme en ese drama, de todas formas. Mátense entre ustedes.—

—Pues a mi sí me gusta ¿Creen que tenga oportunidad?—Lewis los miró divertido.

—Ni siquiera estas en su ranking.—

—¿De qué ranking hablan?—

—¿no te pica la nuca?—

—... ¿Por qué?—

—Porque tenés la mirada de Lando y Charles acá.—Franco le picó el cuello a la chica, quien lo insultó bajito por el pequeño dolor.

—Como jodés con eso, eh.—

—Pero si es verdad, mirá de forma disimulada.—

Tania negó rendida, tomando su trago y dándole un sorbo. Miró de forma vaga todo el lugar, hasta que ubicó a cierto piloto. Lando le sonrió como si nada, sin molestarse demasiado en disimular su atención sobre ella. Entonces notó a Charles también. Y a un Carlos que ignoraba por completo la intensidad de sus amigos.

—¿lo ves? Te andan mirando los pajeros. Ya te dije que ese vestido muestra mucho. A ver tapate.—

Tania apartó entre risas la chaqueta que Franco quiso ponerle sobre los hombros.

—¡Salí, Franco! Hace calor.—le arrebató la prenda aún risueña, acomodándola sobre el respaldo de su silla—. Qué me importa si miran o no. No es como que vayan a lograr mucho haciendo eso.—

—Ahora le voy a contar a mamá Mary, vas a ver.—la chica negó divertida.

Después de la cena, los lideres de la FIA y embajadores de Abu Dhabi dieron algunos discursos. Agradecimientos, motivaciones y anhelos a futuro. Estuvieron un buen rato con ello. Pero Tania tenia su atención en otro lado: los pequeños muñequitos de Penelope eran mucho más interesantes que los ricachones sobre el escenario.

Fue así hasta que en cierto momento, todos comenzaron a dispersarse y la luz bajó. Una suave musica colmó el lugar, y la pista de baile poco a poco fue llenándose de gente.

En otras circunstancias, ése era el momento justo para que Tania se escabullera a su cuarto. Seguiría embriagándose a solas, mirando alguna peli o jugando algún videojuego. Era el plan usual. Pero en esa ocasión no escaparía a ningún lado, pues la pequeña Penny se había llevado toda su atención.

—¿Te parece si bailamos un poco y dejas a tu mamá respirar en paz?—Tania se levantó de la mesa, invitando a la niña a alcanzarla.

—Gracias...—Kelly la miró con inmensa gratitud, a lo que Tania le guiñó un ojo sonriente antes de llevar a la chica justo al centro de la pista, donde las luces que danzaban por el suelo se apreciaban mejor.

El plan era sencillo. Cansar a Penelope para que se durmiera, o al menos distraerla lo suficiente para que Max y Kelly tuvieran un minuto de paz.

Esa era la tarea de Tania en el ámbito familiar durante las fiestas en su hogar: ser la adulta cool que mantenía entretenidos a los niños y evitaba que alguno terminara con un chichón en la cabeza.

—¡Lando!—

Tania desvió la mirada hacia donde Penelope miraba. El piloto estaba ahí parado, con los ojos clavados en ella.

—¿Puedo bailar con ustedes?—

Antes de que Tania pudiera decirle algo, Penelope tomó la mano del hombre y la de la mujer, dando saltitos emocionada.

—¿Qué tal la noche? ¿Te diviertes?—Lando miró a la mujer, quien hacia un suave vaivén al ritmo de la música.

—No soy muy de estas cosas. En otras circunstancias ya me habría ido. El baile, la gente apretada... No me hacen mucha gracia. Pero está tranquilo, aún no salen los borrachines fiesteros.—

—Oye, yo soy de esos.—

—Lo sé, si.—Lando rió entre dientes.

Solo unos minutos después, Penelope indicó que estaba cansada, por lo que Tania la llevó con Kelly.

Lando la invitó a tomar un poco de aire fresco apenas quedaron solos.

—Sigo sin saber qué es esta cosa pero es delicioso...—Tania bebía aquel trago de tonos pasteles a gusto, caminando a paso tranquilo. Ahora que no estaba Penélope, podia excederse un poco.

—Quería disculparme por lo de la otra vez.—

El par había llegado a un enorme balcón, desde donde podía verse el infinito muelle repleto de barcos.

—¿qué?—

—El casco era para mi ¿Verdad? Y por ser un idiota se lo terminaste dando a Oscar.—

—Oooh, eso... No te preocupes, te daré otro.—Tania le restó importancia, dándole un sorbo a su vaso—. Tengo algunos extra.—

—Pero ése era el primero, después de tu primer carrera, ibas a dármelo a mi... Agradezco que me des otro, pero siempre tendré la idea de que perdí el primero por idiota.—

—Siendo realistas, yo me enojé sin fundamentos... Que quieras volver con esa zorra arrastrada es asunto tuyo. Perdon la expresión.—se relajó en el barandal—. Pero ya que sacas el tema, Magui es horrible. Por dentro, claro. Por fuera es hermosa... Como sea, viste lo que pasó con Franco por meterse con alguien que la gente no quiere... No quiero que te pase eso.—

—¿Tan mala es esa chica que salió con Franco?—

—Ah, ni me hagas contarte todo el lore de esa mujer o nos desvelaríamos aquí...—Lando se paró junto a la mujer, mirando el paisaje de forma vaga.

—... Ella esta aquí, en la cena.—

—La vi, si.—Tania volteó a mirarlo—. ¿Preferiste bailar con una niña y conmigo en lugar de con ella?—Lando sonrió apenas.

—Yo te preferiría por sobre cualquier otra persona.—

—Vaya... Fuertes declaraciones... ¿Por sobre Carlos también?—la chica enarcó una ceja divertida, y Lando no pudo evitar reír.

—Oh, lo siento. Él es especial.—

—Me ofendería si me dieras una respuesta diferente. Asi que esta bien...—volvió a probar su bebida—. Ah... Creo que me iré al hotel.—

—Estamos en el hotel, en la recepción.—Lando la miró divertido—. ¿Estás ebria?—

—Un poco, no tanto... Asi que no te pases de listo.—

—Oh, no no. Lo de la otra vez no volverá a pasar...—

La chica se relajó aún más, terminando su trago finalmente.

Había cierta cosita pinchando para salir de su boca, una confesión que, en otro contexto libre de alcohol, jamás hubiese dicho. Pero ahora estaba ebria, lo suficiente para dar rienda suelta a su opinión.

—¿Quieres que te diga la verdad, Lando?—el chico la miró—. Aquella vez, cuando te saqué a patadas de casa... por un momento me arrepentí.—Tania miraba pensativa el vaso en su mano, donde aún quedaban hojitas violetas—. Me habría gustado que pasara algo, pero al mismo tiempo tenía miedo... Miedo de lo que pudiera llegar a sentir ¿Sabes? A diferencia de ti, no acostumbro a estar con personas solo por diversión... No me parece adecuado.—Lando se tensó un poco en cuanto ella lo miró directamente, pues notó la determinación en sus ojos—. Pero si me insistes un poco más, puede que termine dándote lo que quieres... Siempre y cuando quede entre nosotros... ¿Qu�� te parece?—

Max Verstappen revela quien ha sido su mejor compañero en Red Bull

Tras la salida abruta de Checo Pérez en la escudería Red Bull y muy probablemente de la F1 por esta temporada, el cuarto veces campeón ha sido cuestionado por quien a sido su compañero favorito de la escudería austriaca.

Como bien sabemos con el paso del tiempo Verstappen ha compartido momentos con Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon, Pierre Gasly, Daniel Ricciardo, Checo Pérez entre otros.

En su creciente historia con RB quien más marco a Max fue nada más y nada menos, que Daniel Ricciardo que nos menciona que de él pudo aprender más de él, absorbió sus concimientos y los incorporo a sus experiencias.

Así lo reconoció el tetracampeón para el periódico suizo Blick. Menciona que no significa que no le guarde cariño a Checo Pérez, destacó su lealtad, en la que ambos construyeron en los 4 años, es una cualidad que Verstappen aprecia en los demás.

Aún así, todo tiene su fin. Y a partir de este año, quien correrá junto con Verstappen será el volante neozelandés, Liam Lawson.

So who's Buck and Tommy's favourite Sean Cody, Men.com and BelAmi models?

Buck is absolutely a SeanCody guy which I don’t approve of but I know it’s true. He’s into Brandon Cody especially and Jax Hayes. For Men.com I think he’d like Michael Del Rey and Aspen Solomon

Tommy… hear me out: he’s lying about the daddy issues. His faves are Lawson James, Nick Capra, and Colby Jansen.

Franco Colapinto: Qué significan los dos puntos en contra en su Superlicencia

Luego del último Gran Premio de México, Franco Colapinto (Williams) recibió una penalización de 10 segundos y dos puntos en su Superlicencia tras un incidente con Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls), pero qué implicancias tiene en su campaña deportiva la sanción. Veamos… La F.1 cuenta con un sistema de puntuación en contra en la Superlicencia, que actúa como un sistema de “scoring” o acumulación de puntos…

Just searched my own name on Tumblr (as I do once in a blue moon purely because of instances like this in the past!) and discovered that @sunshinetidings tagged me in this poll game in June. My notifications are as broken as the rest of this site :(. Well... better late than never?

[ripplover]

Some random sims 2 headcanons I have, mostly for the base game hoods but there’s a few other sims (I will repost the ones I have for Ripp eventually and I also want to do a post for my sim Lana, I didn’t put them all here lol.)

The sims 2 starts in late 2004.

Pleasantview is in Northern California, Strangetown is in Nevada, and Veronaville is a mix of the UK and Italy.

Lilith pleasant is a tomboy and gender non conforming. Possibly non binary and transmasc in some way too.

Asexual Lilith.

Lilith and Angela are actors in a sitcom based on Pleasantview (they are canonically also in a pizza ad.)

Daniel Pleasant is a famous football/soccer player.

Brandi Broke was a teen mum.

The Lotharios are distantly related to the Montys.

Dina Caliente becomes a black widow before ending up with Brandi.

The Goths have witch heritage and powers.

Vidcund is a science teacher at Strangetown high and the students make fun of him.

Stoner Lazlo is real.

Olive, Ophelia and Nervous all have witch heritage and powers.

General Buzz has Scottish heritage and makes it a part of his personality.

Lyla was a closeted sapphic in love with Olive before she died.

Lyla is half Vietnamese.

Lyla was a lounge singer.

Jill Smith fangirls over NSYNC and Backstreet Boys.

Jill Smith has a crush on Ripp Grunt and writes about him in her diary.

Meanwhile, Ripp is down bad for Chloe Curious.

Ripp works at the silver rocket service station with Oscar Del Fuego and Mambo Loa from the PSP.

Transmasc non binary Ripp.

The townies Kendal Lawson and Tina Roennigke are Ripp’s bullies (they contributed to his fear of toilets on the psp.)

Ripp is destined to be a rock star.

Johnny Ripp and Ophelia all did music together at school and they had a small band together.

Tank Grunt is actually a sensitive himbo.

Tank secretly had a crush on Johnny Smith.

Tank and Ripp once got along.

Missy Mcboom is an in universe superhero with a tv show both Ripp and Tank were obsessed with.

Ripp also loves watching the said sitcom with Lilith and Angela.

Buck Grunt is a closeted transfem.

The Capps and Montys are raised religious (based on the sims medieval religions.) The Capps are Jacoban and the Monty’s Peteran.

The Capp-Monty feud is Mafia warfare.

Miranda Capp goes to British clubs and she would love Brat by Charli XCX.

Kent Capp does drag.

The Summerdreams are real fairies and have magic powers.

Titania likes using magic to play pranks on Veronaville residents for the drama and tea.

Titania and Oberon’s love for parties and eccentricities embarrass Puck.

Lazlo and Mercutio are fat.

Trans Romeo Monty who was previously Viola.

Several sims are autistic (Cassandra Goth, Tybalt Capp, Natasha Una, the Curious brothers and Jenny Smith, Erin Beaker and the Grunt family.)

Nervous Subject has various mental illnesses, Ophelia has anxiety and depression and PTSD is prevalent in a lot of households (mostly the Capps, Montys and Grunts.)

Sims aliens have some interesting biology. They can get anyone pregnant basically. Pure aliens are male and female at once (Stella and PT9 present as the genders they want to.)

That’s all my headcanons i’m putting here (so far.)
