#did your baby hurt you maxy 🥺🥺

[souvenir116]

Q: What is the most irritating thing about Max?

Charles: Irritating? Um... I don’t know? Sometimes he can do silly comments in media, but, at the end, that’s what makes Max, I think. We need personalities in Formula 1. [and that's fine, yeah that's it.]

Max: 😺😼 If he thinks like that, then he should not read them. [comments] As if I should care about what he has to say!

How he got so defensive when he wouldn't care about anyone else saying the same 😭 and Charles even emphasizing Max has a personality as a compliment even though the question is not it 🤌🏻 chaotic rivals fr

Oh??? 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Thank you 😭😭 I’d be more than happy to provide you with family sweetness!

TW: Mentions of death and violence (very short, but I wanted to put a warning just in case) <3

A little angst with a very fluffy ending ❤️💙💚

“D-DAADDYYYYY!!! P-PAAAAAPA!!!!”

Maxie gasped as his body raised up from the bed, he looked around him and realized that Sierra was calling for him and Archie.

He checked the clock. “4am? Sierra?”

“P-PAPA!!! D-DADDY!!!!” Sierra screamed again, even louder than the first time. This alerts Maxie, he knows that when she has nightmares, she usually comes up to his and Archie’s bedroom by herself and sleeps with them instead.

But this? Her scream sent him flying back to the bed, trying to shake his husband awake.

“Archie.. Archie! Wake up..! Please!” He got mad when Archie flipped himself around in his sleep. “Our daughter is screaming for us, damn it! Wake up!”

*snore*

It was no use, Archie was out like a light. He was an extremely heavy sleeper. Maxie rolled his eyes and ran to throw his shirt and glasses on. He practically flew down the stairs almost tripping himself and opened Sierra’s bedroom door.

“Sierra? Honey, it’s daddy. What’s the matt- OOF!”

Sierra jumped up and tackled him into a hug. He was lucky he caught her, because he fell backwards to the ground. She whimpered and sobbed as he held her in his arms.

“Sierra.. hey… I’m right here, starlight.. shhh…”He tries to calm her down, but she clung to his chest like a koala bear. Her tears flooded her puffy eyes.

“Daddy!! *sob* dahahahaddyyy!! I-I- s-saw it!” She cried. “Th-that man! He… he hurt you, daddy!”

“Whoa whoa, slow down…”

He carries her back to her bed and sits down with her. She still clings to him, terrified.

“Honey.. did you have a nightmare?”

She slowly nodded.

“Can you tell me what happened..?”

She went up to sit on his lap, never letting her grip on him go. She seemed absolutely scared to death.

“A man hurt you in my dream, daddy…” She started, wiping her eyes. “He took this shiny thing and pointed it at you, then I heard a bang! Th-then… you fell to the ground! I-I-“

Maxie stopped her for a moment, attempting to calm her down. “Take a deep breath, Sierra. Everything is alright now.. breathe..”

She did as her dad said and took a long, deep breath. Then her snubbing ceased. She then continued.

“I-I- ran over to you and tried to wake you up! B-but… you wouldn’t wake up..”

Maxie was extremely concerned now. What in the world did she dream about?Chills ran down his spine. He shuddered at the thought.

He hugged her close. “My little starlight… it’s okay.. it was a bad dream, none of that really happened, and I’m just fine. I’m not hurt.”

“D-Daddy!” The tears came back, and she wouldn’t let go. She snuggled into his chest, never letting her grip on him go. She was terrified.

“Shhh.. shh.. daddy’s here.. daddy’s got you.. Everything is going to be okay, my sweet emerald.” He kisses the top of her forehead while she continued to sob. “I’m here.. I’m here..”

“D-Daddy… please don’t leave..” She whimpered out, holding onto his shirt. “I don’t want you to go…”

“I’m not going anywhere, sweetheart. I promise. Daddy’s right here. Shhh..” He rocked her back and forth, easing her and helping her calm herself. “Do you want to sleep upstairs with me and papa?”

*sniffle* “Uh huh…”

“Alright, come on.. Up we go.” Maxie held her and stood up from the bed, he began carrying her upstairs.

“I-I-Is papa okay??” She asked.

“Yes, honey.. your papa is just fine. He’s just sleeping.” He grew more concerned when she hugged his neck, very tight, as if she was trying to protect herself from a monster. “My poor baby… it’s okay, now.. your papa and I will stay here with you. Ok?”

*sniff* “Okay, daddy. Y-you promise?”

“I promise, Sierra. We won’t leave your side. We’ll be right here with you all night.”

He sat her in between where he and Archie sleep. As soon as she laid down she clung onto her papa next, who was still asleep.

He groaned and laughed in his sleep while Sierra hung onto him. “M-Max, quit it… heheh.. y-yer tickling me..”

He rolled his eyes. “That’s not me, Archie. That’s our scared little princess.”

“H-huh?” He finally opened his eyes and saw his little scamp latching onto him. “Oh, Sierra!” He noticed all of her tears and whimpering. “What’s the matter, sweetheart? Why’s me little guppy crying?”

“P-Papa-!” She sobbed, hugging him more.

“Hey… shhh… it’s okay. Papa’s here, honey..”

*whimper*

“I tried to wake you up, Archie. But I couldn’t. She’s had a bad nightmare, and she’s terrified to be without us. So she can sleep with us tonight.”

Archie looks at her and hugs her back. “Me poor little scamp.. daddy and I aren’t gonna go anywhere. We’ll be here to protect ye.”

“P-P-promise?”

He smiled at her. “We both promise. We’re not gonna let anything happen to us, pumpkin.”

She held onto his hand and held his pinky finger. “P-Pinky promise?”

“Aww, scamp..” He nodded. “Pinky promise. We’ll stay here with ye.”

She hugged him. He smiled and pet her head, but looks at his husband concerned.

“Babe, what did she dream about?”

Maxie slipped himself back into bed. “N-Not now. I don’t want to bring it back up and upset her again..”

“Yer sounding like it scared ye too, love.”

“It d-did.. this sounded more like a night terror, and now the poor thing is traumatized. She’ll probably sleep up here for the next few nights.”

Archie held his daughter close, and thought of a way to cheer her up. “Hey, Sierra? Daddy and I aren’t going to let anything scary near ye.. ok? Ye know why?”

“W-why?”

“Because…” He smiled deviously, fingers wiggling. “I’m scarier than anything else around here! I’m the tickle monster!” He playfully growled.

“Eee!!” Sierra squealed and hopped into Maxie’s arms, giggling already. “Daddy! Save me!”

He chuckled at her. “I can’t, sweetheart.”

She looked up at him in mild confusion. “W-why not?”

He wrapped his arms around her and started tickling her sides. “Because.. I’m also the tickle monster!” He playfully growled.

“AHAHAHA!! EEHEHEEHEEHEHEE!!!DAHAHADDY!! NOHAHAHA!!” Sierra squealed in laughter, she was cornered since her dad’s fingers attacked both her sides.

She laughed even harder when he blew a raspberry on her stomach.

“PFFFFFFFFT-“

“DAHAHADDEEHEEHEHEE!!! NOHOHOHO THAT TIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLES!! AHEEEHEHEE!”

“Isn’t that the point, sweetheart? *inhale* PFFFFFFT!!”

*HIC* AHAHAHAHA!! ST-STAHAHAP IHIHIT!!! DAHAHAHAHADDY!!! *HIC*”

Maxie stops and smirks at Archie. “Come on, ‘tickle monster.’ Come get her. She’s all yours.”

“Let me at her!” Archie growls playfully. “Papa bear’s gonna get that tummy!”

“Noooooo!!! Heheheheheehehee!!”

Archie growls once more and tickles her stomach. “Now he’s gotcha..! C’mere, ye wiggly Wurmple!”

“Heheheheheeheheehehee!!!”

Maxie went back to tickling her sides. “She’s going to get the hiccups, Archie.” He chuckled.

“*HIC* Hahahaha- *HIC* PAHAHAPA!!! DAHAHAHADDY!!!!! STAHAHAHAP!!” Tears of mirth dotted her little green eyes.

“I told you.”

“But the tickle monsters wanna hear ye laugh after bein’ so scared, emerald!” Archie teased. “Tickle tickle tickle! Our little bundle of giggles!”

“We just want to see your precious smile and make you feel better. We don’t want you to be scared.” Maxie smiled. “Tickle tickle tickle!”

“HAHAHAHA!! *HIC* AHAHAHAHEEHEHEE!! NAHAHAHOHO- *HIC* AHAHEEHEEHEEE!! *snort* DAHAHAHADDY!! *snort* PAHAHAHAPA!!” She squealed.

“Awwww!” Archie cooed. “She snorts when she gets tickled, just like her daddy!”

Maxie smacked him. “Shut up. I do not snort.”

Archie smirks and sneaks one of his wiggling hands up his side, earning him a snort right off the bat. He eyes Maxie deviously, who covered his mouth. Archie gets another smack upside his head.

“Ye don’t snort, huh? Ye liar.”

*blush* Sh-shut up.”

“Dawwww~”

They both stopped tickling Sierra, and watched her collapse back on the bed, curled in a ball and giggling still. Maxie picked her up and kissed her forehead.

“Heehee!”

“Our sweet little girl, we won’t let anyone hurt you. We’ll always be here to protect you.”

“That’s right, Princess!” Archie added. “And if they try, we’ll beat em’ up!”

Maxie glared at him. “Archie…”

“Whaaaat? We will! No one will harm our baby!”

Sierra giggles. “I love you, daddy. I love you, papa.”

They both smiled, got in between her, and squished her in a big family hug.

“We love you too, Sierra.” They both said, turning out the lights and getting in the blankets. “We’ll see you in the morning.”

*yawn* “Okay.. night night…”

My Thoughts Watching West Side Story (2021)

I enjoyed the commentary @bernardolovesanita did so much that I thought it would be fun to share my own thoughts. This list is far from exhaustive, and probably sounds more like the ramblings of a lunatic, but it’s what came to mind as I was watching the movie tonight.

- No matter how many times I’ve seen this movie, the iconic whistle gives me full-body chills every time.

- This makes me very much never want to go to Lincoln Center ever again.

- Introducing Riff with Graziella by his side gives me life. It’s just so *chef’s kiss*

- Jeez, Numbers. You couldn’t just light Maxie’s cigarette before running off?

- Why does Mike Faist think he’s not a dancer?

- This poor restaurant owner is done with the Jets’ bullshit.

- That first shot of the Sharks running to stop the Jets is very *chef’s kiss*

- Baby John is wielding that paint can like a MADMAN. Poor Manolo.

- Is it just me or does Riff make an “Oh, shit” face when he throws that trash can? 😂

- Riff and Bernardo pushing past everyone to get to each other is actually one of the hottest things I’ve ever witnessed.

- SCHRANK IS THE WORST.

- Krupke is a gem in this version though.

- David Alvarez is so handsome. It’s ridiculous.

- I love Quique.

- How did none of the Jets punch Schrank for straight up calling their moms whores?

- Riff looks so sad when Schrank calls him trash because deep down, he believes that about himself already 😭

- Mike Faist covered in paint, smoking a cigarette does something to me.

- “Frankenstein time” 🥺

- All of the Jets are so over Tony.

- My sister once asked, “Did they make the shortest Jet say the thing about walking tall on purpose?” 🤣

- Why does Tony seem so annoyed already? Riff is supposed to be your best friend, dude.

- Obviously Riff got cleaned up and changed between the Prologue and going to see Tony. I’ve been meaning to write an HC about that, with Grazi cleaning him up.

- MIKE FAIST WAS ROBBED OF THE OSCAR NOMINATION.

- Riff is so bad at handling his emotions.

- Womb to tomb wasn’t ever a joke for Riff because he’s spent most of his life with no family and Tony is supposed to be like his brother 😭

- Rita Moreno is so cute.

- I love the way Anita snaps her fingers when she talks 😂

- Why did they have to make Chino so cute and lovable?! It just makes everything hurt all the worse 😭

- Anita and Bernardo are such a gorgeous couple.

- As someone who wears red lipstick on the reg, it makes me strangely uncomfortable that Maria didn’t blot her lipstick before leaving the apartment 😂

- Dance at the Gym is the only scene that truly matters to me in this movie.

- Mamie is not playing around.

- Riff and Graziella are everything to me (as if you didn’t already know that).

- Mike Faist giggling is all I ever needed.

- I love how Dot just has that lollipop hanging out of her mouth the whole dance. That’s commitment.

- Other cutie Jet couples to watch during DATG besides Riff & Grazi: Mouthpiece & Velma, Action & Rhonda, Diesel & Mamie, Balkan & Tat, Baby John & Tessie.

- I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THEIR DANCING. GIVE US SOME WIDER SHOTS😭

- The height difference between them is insane. On a personal note, I’ve always wanted the guy I marry to be super tall 😂

- Many of these problems could have been avoided had Tony just exited the bleachers ON THE OTHER SIDE 🙄

- I love the solidarity of both Anita and Graziella yelling at their stubborn ass boyfriends.

- Riff and Action with their jackets off are very 🥵

- Riff looks so hurt when Tony leaves 😢

- Again, I love Quique.

- Why are there no cops monitoring the bathroom? I mean, Krupke literally just watched all this shadiness go down. No one’s even going to check?

- Ice when Riff suggests knives: 🤨🤨🤨

- I died when I Google translated the Spanish lines and learned that Bernardo is basically saying, “These guys are always talking shit about knives” 🤣🤣

- Riff actually being so nervous during the war council makes me emotional.

- My favorite character is the custodian who looks at Tony like he’s crazy during “Maria.”

- Mike Faist originally auditioned for Tony. If there are any recordings of him singing “Maria” or “Tonight,” I want to hear them.

- You just ruined the pigeon lady’s night, Tony. So rude.

- That puddle shot is so stunning.

- Honestly, Tony saying, “But I found you!” with that huge smile is actually very cute.

- Bernardo and Anita are so cute.

- Also, why do I feel like every couple, Jet and Shark, definitely gets it on after every dance? 🤣

- Well, I mean, did you see the way they were dancing?

- I live in NYC and can literally hear everything that goes on outside my house at night. How did Tony and Maria not wake anyone up on that fire escape? 😂

- The shot of Bernardo and Anita behind the sheets is so 😍😍😍

- Bernardo has too many women in this apartment 😂

- I love how Anita calls Bernardo “amor de mi vida” (love of my life) 🥺

- I can’t believe that they filmed “America” during NYC’s heat wave in 2019. It was brutal 🥵

- Quique is a star.

- I literally just got so sad before the sad stuff even started just by remembering that the sad stuff is coming 😭

- I took Spanish for 8 years in school and I’m still so terrible at it, so you’re doing better than me, Tony.

- The notes of “Somewhere” blending with the train whistle? *chef’s kiss*

- Okay, but Riff and Bernardo were going to fight even before you two. NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU, TONY AND MARIA.

- When Tony says, “Maria, I don’t just like you,” I always add, “I like like you,” in my head 😂

- I love Balkan’s and Mouthpiece’s responses to the cops.

- Anybodys telling A-Rab to go suck on his sister’s titty is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.

- Poor Krupke needs to retire.

- Baby John fixing the benches. Bless his sweet little soul.

- Where did Snowboy even come from?!

- I wonder how they decided which Jets would be in “Gee, Officer Krupke” and which ones would be in “Cool” 🤔

- “Ew, Diesel, you got a social disease?” 😂

- It’s been way too long since Mike Faist was last on my screen.

- I don’t think anything will ever beat the way Russ Tamblyn sang, “’Cause no one wants a fella with a social disease.”

- This is making me want to go back to the Cloisters. But Tony is right, it is quite the trek to get there.

- I’m not sure what I would do if a guy started telling me all this on our first date 😂

- MARIA LITERALLY GAVE YOU AN OUT, TONY. WHY DID YOU STILL GO TO THE RUMBLE?!

- They’re literally not brawling because of you and Maria, Tony. Were you even listening to Riff earlier? You know, before you even met Maria?

- THERE’S MIKE FAIST!

- Lol, Riff is like, “STFU, Action!”

- The way this man literally checked Action to the floor 😂

- Was the Academy even watching?!

- Them playing with the gun like little boys🥺 At the end of the day, they’re just stupid kids.

- “Born to die young, Daddy-O” 😭😭😭

- The Jets literally don’t like you anymore, Tony.

- Mike Faist is the most handsome man I’ve ever seen.

- The tears in Riff’s eyes 😢 He feels so betrayed by Tony.

- Why do I find Riff handing the gun off to Ice so sexy? 🤣

- I love how Tony tells Maria, “They’re still my guys,” but the end of “Cool” shows that the Jets are now totally behind Riff, literally and figuratively.

- “Tonight (Quintet)” gives me shivers every time.

- Riff’s rumble outfit? Thank you, Paul Tazewell.

- Riff asking Ice, “Womb to tomb?” because he just wants to be reassured that he still has some kind of family after Tony basically left him high and dry 😭😭😭

- That shot of the Jets’ and the Sharks’ shadows approaching each other is pure art.

- Lol, why is Ice explaining the purpose of the salt shed?

- Tony and Chino working together for that brief moment makes me so depressed.

- Will I ever be emotionally prepared for the rumble? No.

- I know the point is supposed to be that Tony has outgrown the Jets and is trying to change, but Riff is still supposed to be his best friend and brother. Tony literally kills Bernardo to avenge Riff. So why is it that Tony seems so annoyed with Riff literally every time they’re on screen together? I don’t know, in the 1961 film, their friendship just seemed more evident and apparent.

- Riff almost reaching out to stop Tony from beating on Bernardo 😭

- BUT WHERE DID THAT KNIFE COME FROM?!

- THEY’RE BOTH SO SCARED 😭😭😭

- Fucking Tony, LET GO 😭

- My heart 💔

- The Oscar should have been given to Mike Faist for this scene alone.

- I wish we could have seen Krupke’s reaction to finding Riff and Bernardo 😢

- THE MORGUE SCENE—WHY?!?! 😭

- Rachel Zegler’s acting was phenomenal in this scene, but for real, Maria, what were you thinking?

- Valentina breaking out the rum. Same, girl.

- Would it have been too much to ask to include a shot of Graziella learning about Riff during “Somewhere?”

- They could have shaved off some time from Maria and Tony preparing to get it on 🙄

- Poor Anita 😢 Ariana DeBose earned every award she’s received.

- Tony is lucky Anita didn’t push him down that fire escape.

- Maria deserved that slap.

- I love how Maria’s door in this movie is so reminiscent of her door in the 1961 film.

- YOU ARE SO RUDE, MARIA!

- Anita certainly loved Bernardo a lot longer than you’ve loved Tony, you little brat!

- Anita crying in her and Bernardo’s bedroom 🥺🥺🥺

- “I Have a Love” is how I feel about Mike Faist.

- Quique’s reaction to Chino = 🤨🤨🤨

- “It got so bad so fast.” YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!

- Ugh, Schrank, you are the worst.

- Graziella just wants to talk to Tony about what happened to Riff 😭

- I wish they had kept Grazi in the frame so that we could see her reaction to Chino having Riff’s gun.

- Anita saying “Help me” to Graziella breaks my heart 💔

- You can see on Diesel’s and Ice’s faces that they know what they’re doing is wrong.

- Stop talking, Snowboy. Literally, what is wrong with you?

- “You dishonor your dead” 😭😭😭

- I miss Doc’s line, “Why do you kids live like there’s a war on?”

- Damn, two shots, Chino?

- I’m still salty that there are only a few Jets and Sharks here.

- This musical really is so depressing.

- WHY did they cut the line, “All of you! You all killed him! And my brother. And Riff. Not with bullets and guns. With hate!” It has such impact! 😭

- I’m just sad.

- Mike Faist better win that BAFTA tomorrow.

- The graffiti that says “I lived here” on one of the demolished buildings during the end credits 😭😭😭

Any ideas about Maxie and a little who's afraid of needles and getting her covid vacc? ):

this is soooo precious 🥺pls get vaccy even though pokey hurts. I pwomise it's safe and it will protect you and those around you!

Kitten gets the vaccine!

Warnings: DDLG, needles, anxiety, comfort

You did not like needles. Period. End of discussion. You knew it was important to get vaccinated but the first time you tried to go to the pharmacy you ended up running back home because you were too scared. Maxie decided the best thing would be to have one of his nurse friends come to the house to give the vaccine to you. That way you'd be in a space you were familiar with and could have your stuffies and your daddy to protect you.

Maxie had already gotten it (because he is older than you) and he thought that would help convince you but alas, come the day of the appointment you were being especially fussy.

"Please I don't wanna!" You threw yourself on the ground.

"I know." Max felt like such a meanie for making you do this but it was important. "I know but it's important, kitten. And I'm gonna get you a big reward after this. Another pretty cupcake dress and a new dollhouse."

"I don't want shot!" You turned your back to him, bolting to your room and throwing your kitten ears on the ground. Max sighs, knocking on your door after a moment. He picked up your headband, twirling it in his hands nervously.

"Kitten... I know it's scary. But it's important we do this. Daddy had to get one and I was sacred."

"No you weren't!" You grumble though you were listening to his soothing voice.

"I was. I'm not as strong as you think I am, baby. There are things daddies get afraid of too. Like spiders and needles. But you know how I got through it?" He waited, hearing your quiet breaths. Good, you were calming down. "I got through it because I had you with me, kitten. You held my hand remember? And I'm gonna hold your hand today. Can you be brave for me?"

There was no response. "Can I open the door?"

There was a small click as you opened the door and immediately burst into tears again. You felt bad for being difficult even though it was a natural fear. "I'm sowwy daddy. I just hate needles so much."

"Oh kitten... It's okay. It's okay." He pulled you into his arms. You tugged on his shoulders trying to get picked up. He chuckled, lifting you and letting you lock your legs around his hips. It was nearly time. "You want to pick a stuffie to hold?"

You just shook your head.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Jus' wan' you, daddy." You nuzzled the side of his neck. He felt his heart melt.

"At least put on your kitty ears. There..." He positioned them in your hair.

The nurse arrived a minute later and got everything set up. You had been quiet for the whole time though. your heart was hammering in your chest and you felt lightheaded.

"Daddy's got you." Max reassured you quietly, squeezing the arm wrapped around your waist.

As the nurse approached with the needle you started squirming, turning your head away. But Max didn't let you get away. He felt like the meanest daddy in the world as you struggled and cried. He tucked your face under his chin so that you wouldn't see. The nurse just smiled sympathetically before giving you a quick poke in the arm.

"It's over. It's over." He said as soon as the needle came out. You looked down, realizing you now had a hello kitty bandaid on your arm and the nurse lady had retreated.

"I did it?" You looked up at him.

"Yes you did! I'm so proud of you!" He tickled your sides.

Max bid the nurse farewell and thank you. Once it was just you two he brought out a big red box. Your reward!
