[veronicasanders]

Favorite costume you've ever worn? What about the biggest costume fail?

Ahhhh I love this. Okay get ready, lol...

🌈🎤🥀📣☮️🧙🏽‍♀️👠🤠👽🐚🩸👐🌈

Favorites in no particular order…

Punky Brewster (5 years old, repeated again when I was like 33)

Morticia Addams (8 years old)

Ursula the Sea Witch (grown-up - a group of friends and I all went as Disney villains and it was quite fucking epic)

Dorothy Gale (another adult group costume, co-starring Doctor Fluffernutter as Toto)

Slutty Witch (13 years old, group costume. Extremely fucking inappropriate but my mom let me trick-or-treat that way and I did collect a shit ton of candy, so…)

Cheerleader (6 years old. This is on the list because I told my feminist mother I wanted to be a cheerleader, and she was prepared to swallow her rage about it and let me do what I wanted. So she went, “Okay…what team do you want to cheer for?” And I was like “Team? Huh?” And that is when she realized to her delight that I had no idea cheerleaders were there to support athletes, I just liked the skirts. So she changed her question to “What color cheer costume do you want?” And I said, “Pink and Purple.” She sewed me an absolutely stunning pink and purple corduroy cheer skirt (and made pom-poms and a lovely top) that I continued to wear for like 3 years.) 

Sally Bowles, mid abortion (adult. It was basically a run-of-the-mill Liza as Sally costume with the vest and the bowler hat, etc, but then I smeared a bunch of blood on my thighs and dangled a plastic fetus purchased from a website called "Christian Dollar Store" from my hot pants by rubber bands. I also wore tap shoes and drove everyone nuts, lol)

Jessie from Toy Story (adult group costume. Doctor Fluffernutter was an Alien and I hand-made his costume.)

Rizzo in Grease (12 years old)

Frank N. Furter (adult)

Raggedy Ann Doll (4 year old)

A Millionaire (7 years old. I put this one together myself because I guess my mom was tired of my shit. I wore my grandma's fur coat, cowboy boots, a pleather skirt with a bathing suit top for some reason, a fancy hat, way too much makeup, a fuckload of costume jewelry, and carried a gold purse stuffed with money. I probably looked more like a pimp.)

Little Orphan Annie (adult. It was kind of a drag version of Annie)

Madonna (too many times. The first one when I was 7 years old, the whole Lucky Star look. Did this one the year MDNA came out:)

 Rainbow Bright (adult)

Jesus from Godspell (adult - this is just bell bottoms, a superman t-shirt, rainbow suspenders, and face painting (a heart on the forehead, black tears from the eyes, and very classy red ribbons to represent the crucifixion) 

As far as fails…it’s really more about other people failing. Like the year we were supposed to be Spice Girls and the person who was Ginger flaked out, which made the person who was Posh also change their mind. (Although we did find someone dressed as Ginger at the party randomly and she joined the group photos. So it kind of worked in the end.)

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — How much is Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago worth? That's been a point of contention after a New York judge ruled that the former president exaggerated the Florida property's value when he said it's worth at least $420 million and perhaps $1.5 billion.Siding with New York's attorney general in a lawsuit accusing Trump of grossly overvaluing his assets, Judge Arthur Engoron found that Trump consistently exaggerated Mar-a-Lago's worth. He noted that one Trump estimate of the club's value was 2,300% times the Palm Beach County tax appraiser's valuations, which ranged from $18 million to $37 million.But Palm Beach real estate agents who specialize in high-end properties scoffed at the idea that the estate could be worth that little, in the unlikely event Trump ever sold.“Ludicrous,” agent Liza Pulitzer said about the judge citing the county’s tax appraisal as a benchmark. Homes a tenth the size of Mar-a-Lago on tiny inland lots sell for that in the Town of Palm Beach, a wealthy island enclave.“The entire real estate community felt it was a joke when they saw that figure,” said Pulitzer, who works for the firm Brown Harris Stevens.“That thing would get snapped up for hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars,” said Rob Thomson, owner of Waterfront Properties and a Mar-a-Lago member. “There is zero chance that it’s going to sell for $40 million or $50 million.”In the ongoing trial over the lawsuit, though, what a private buyer might pay for a place like Mar-a-Lago isn't the only factor in determining whether Trump is liable for fraud.WHAT IS MAR-A-LAGO?The 126-room, 62,500-square-foot (5,810-square-meter) mansion is Trump’s primary home. It is also a club, private beach resort, historical artifact and banquet hall with a ballroom that features gold leaf. It is where Trump stored government documents federal prosecutors say he took illegally after leaving office in 2021.While Trump has long admitted using “truthful hyperbole” in his business dealings, he is not exaggerating when he calls Mar-a-Lago unique.Built in 1927 by cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and her second husband, financier E.F. Hutton, she gave the property its name — Spanish for “sea-to-lake” — because its 17 acres (7 hectares) stretch from the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway.Post kept the mansion after the couple's divorce, using it to host opulent galas. In 1969, Mar-a-Lago was designated a National Historic Landmark.Post, who died in 1973, bequeathed the property to the U.S. government as a winter get-away for presidents, but Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter never used it. The government, citing the high upkeep costs, returned it to Post's foundation in 1981.The property fell into disrepair. Trump bought it in 1985 for about $10 million, the equivalent of $30 million today. He invested heavily in its refurbishment.By the early 1990s, however, Trump was in financial distress after several of his businesses flopped. He told Palm Beach town officials he couldn't afford the $3 million annual upkeep, and proposed subdividing the property and building mansions. The town rejected the plan.Negotiations continued and in 1993 the town agreed he could turn the estate into a private club, giving him cash flow he could use for maintenance. He built the ballroom, but signed away development rights.The agreement limits the club to 500 members — the initiation fee is $500,000 with annual dues of $20,000.Trump typically lives at Mar-a-Lago from October to May before summering in New Jersey.SO WHAT IS MAR-A-LAGO WORTH?That's hard to say. The biggest problem is there are no comparable properties. No one builds mansions in Palm Beach like Mar-a-Lago anymore and those that did exist were demolished long ago, broken up or turned into a museum.Trump, in an April deposition, justified his belief that Mar-a-Lago could be worth $1 billion by comparing it to the price the Mona Lisa or a painting by Renoir would command — the ultra-wealthy will pay a premium to buy something that's one-of-a-kind.

Eli Beracha, chair of Florida International University's Hollo School of Real Estate, agreed it's difficult to assess the value of any unique property. The fact that Trump owned Mar-a-Lago would likely increase its sale price.“Some people are going to argue that not everyone likes Trump — some people would actually pay less because of that. ... But the high bidder is probably going to be a person who buys it because it belonged to Trump,” Beracha said.Pulitzer said the rock-bottom price for Mar-a-Lago would be $300 million. Thomson said at least $600 million. If uber-billionaires got into a bidding war, they said, a sale of a billion dollars or more would be possible.The much smaller Palm Beach compound once owned by the Kennedy political dynasty sold for $70 million three years ago.SO HOW DID PALM BEACH COUNTY COME UP WITH SUCH A LOW TAX ASSESSMENT?The county gives Mar-a-Lago its current value for taxation of $37 million based on its annual net operating income as a club and not on its resale value as a home or its reconstruction cost. It is one of nine private clubs in the county taxed that way.Becky Robinson, the tax assessor's spokesperson, said that method is used because private clubs are so rarely sold or built, making it impossible to set their tax rates by comparing them to similar properties. Mar-a-Lago's property tax bill will be $602,000 this year, county records show.U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a South Florida Democrat, wrote the county saying if Trump claims Mar-a-Lago is worth $1 billion, he should be taxed accordingly. If Mar-a-Lago had a $1 billion assessed value, it’s property tax bill would be approximately $18 million.Robinson said the county bases its assessments on the law and its formulas, not the value owners claim.WHY IT MATTERSIn her lawsuit against Trump, New York Attorney General Letitia James argued that Mar-a-Lago was one of multiple assets Trump overvalued in financial statements given to banks and others.On those statements, Trump valued Mar-a-Lago as high as $739 million — a figure James said ignored deed restrictions requiring the property to be used as a social club — not a private home. Her lawyers have argued that in his financial statements, Trump should have valued Mar-a-Lago the same way the county does, based on its club status.Trump's financial statements, the New York lawyers wrote, valued the club “based on the false and misleading premise that it was an unrestricted residential plot of land that could be sold and used as a private home, which was clearly not the case.”Trump's lawyers have said no trickery was involved, and that banks probably didn't rely on his financial statements anyway when determining whether to lend him money.

[cobrakaisb]

cobra kai being friends with a youtuber

requested: yes by anon 

okay so you aren’t a super famous youtuber like the dolan twins or liza koshy

but you do have a bit of a following

miguel, hawk, aisha, and tory definitely watch your videos

you’re known for your wacky videos and just doing random shit

the cobras love watching your videos together 

#bonding

one day you show up at the all-valley high school

you ask one of them to show you around (it's probably miguel)

“excuse me, can you show me where room 305 is?” 

“omg you’re y/n l/n!!” “yeah but can you help me find room 305 or not?”

miguel helps you find your way around school

#unofficial tour guide things

he brings you to sit with the cobras at lunch

boom, now you, tory, hawk, miguel, and aisha are besties

at first you were hesitant because what if they’re using you for clout?

but miguel is so genuine, aisha is too nice for that, hawk said that he’d considered it but you’re chill, tory is probably using you for clout

(jk they all love you for you)

at first it’s a lot of questions about you being famous and selfies and whatnot

the other kids at school definitely ask you for selfies at least 50 times a day

but once you became friends with the cobras people started to leave you alone

because who is gonna mess with them?

someone is always asking you out

“sorry but i’m dating hawk/miguel/tory/aisha” (you can pick who your fake s/o is)

they are fascinated by your set up

like you have a video camera, ring light, greenscreen?, led lights, a small teddy duncan video camera, plus all the editing software

“y/n you should end your vlogs by saying good luck charlie” 

you definitely do that now 

after a couple months of being friends you ask to make videos about them and with them

“yeah sure”

miyagi-do vs cobra kai: i’m part of an epic dojo feud!!

going to the dollar store with hawk and miguel

aisha brings me and tory to the country club

24 hour challenge at coyote creek! who can last the longest?

miguel vs robby: who is better for sam (ft sam larusso)

who would win? matching up cobra kai and miyagi-do students in fake fights

ranking the people of cobra kai and miyagi-do

i feel like you start a series where you vlog with each of them for a day

“hey besties, today i am here with tory! she’s my badass best friend from cobra kai!”

“okay so today i’m going to be dying hawk’s hair!”

“aisha and i are hanging at the beach club, and i’m going to see how long it takes for us to get kicked out”

“miguel and i are going to be helping his sensei set up an online dating profile”

the five of you always hang out after their karate practice

they take you to all the hot spots around the valley

“this is the park where we are going to battle the zombie apocalypse” “sick” 

“this our go to hang out spot: applebee’s!” 

one day you were chilling at the dojo, and a group comes in looking for you

everyone is shocked besides you, hawk, miguel, tory, and aisha

you just take the picture and call it a day

“yeah that happens a lot sorry”

once you posted a pic of the five of you at some restaurant

y’all had to leave shortly after

fans started to ship you with your friends (specifically hawk and tory)

“um y/n why are people saying that we would make a cute couple?” -hawk

“y/n did you tell your fans that we’re dating?” -tory

you definitely have fun with that

“okay guys today i’m doing the couples challenge with my boyfriend hawk and girlfriend tory to see which one is the perfect match for me”

the fans go nuts

eventually you tell them it’s a joke

your friendship is mostly normal with the occasional fan interaction thrown in the mix

LUCILLE BALL: NUMBER 1, BUT STILL TRYING HARDER

July 29, 1974

Editor's note: following is the final part in a series of eight profiles on America's self-made women.

By PHYLLIS BATTELLE 

“Success - whaddya you mean by that?” rasps Lucille Ball in that rowdy voice which strikes adoration into the hearts of Lucy lovers. 

“If your concept of success is happiness in what you’re doing, in being a mother, in being a wife, then I’m a success. I’m also damned lucky that I have my health and guts life takes guts and that my work paid off. 

“But if you’re talking of the kind of success that’s about dollars and cents, forget it. The real wealth is not out here in Hollywood. Its all highly taxable, honey, and who cares? Money has never been important to me. I hate looking at bills. I hate math. I’m a typical Leo: money-blind. What I’m saying is that not one of us out here has more than $25,000 to buy a stamp with! 

“Pennies, Pickles Or Something" 

So much for Lucy’s petty cash. Aside from stamp funds, she has assets: a million-dollar home in Beverly Hills, another in Palm Springs and an apartment near Aspen, Colo.; investments resulting from the sale of her Desilu Studios to Gulf & Western for $17 million in stock, her own Lucille Ball Productions Company: earnings from 23 years of “Lucy” series (now running in 77 countries); a percentage of “Mame”, the new super-movie musical; not to mention the proceeds from diligent work dating back to 1913, when she was two years old in Jamestown, N.Y., and spoke little pieces at the grocery store for pennies or pickles or something. 

At 62, Lucille Ball Arnaz Morton is No. 1 - but still trying harder. (1) Husband Gary Morton says proudly, “Her work is an obsession and a labor of love, and as long as the public likes her shell never retire.” 

Lucy recently did terminate her “Here’s Lucy” series, at least temporarily, but will hold her "business family” (about 500 staff and cast members) together while she produces TV specials. Now, she leers at her orange-haired image in a dressing room minor and says, “I’ve loved to work, always. I discovered very early that the way to please people was to make them laugh at me. So I appeared at church, school, Girl Scouts, anything and anywhere. Made the tickets, sold them, starred in my own shows. That seems backward now. That’s gone out. The business has been hanging itself, and the kids with it, by making stars and superstars out of strange, young people who don’t know their craft."

Drums And Records 

An example, Lucy says, could be found in her own son, Desi Arnaz, Jr. "When he was nine, he was very good on drums. Used to beat them while the records played as background. He got a group together with a couple of kids at school Dino Martin and Billy Hinsche and they called themselves Dino, Desi and Billy. Then Sinatra heard them, and they made a record and had a hit. 

"A magazine took off on them, and they went on tour. Poor waifs - thank God, they didn’t have any more hits. But it left its mark, this being made a star when you don’t know anything at all, and after two years it was damn hard for Desi and the other kids to get back to doing their homework." 

That sort of "big payoff for mediocrity" was not what happened in Lucy's own youth. Her family in Jamestown was "lower than middle-class, hard working, had a truck garden and was never hungry." 

Most Influential Man 

Lucy's father, a mining engineer, died when she was four. (2) Her stepfather was the most influential man in her early life. To encourage young Lucy’s "flair," he took her to see Julius Tannen, a monologist. (3) “When I saw Tannen sitting on a empty stage in a dark theater, making people cry and then laugh - oh, it was magic, pure magic," she recalls. 

At 16, she went to New York, where her stepfather entered her in drama school. "I found out how shy, awkward and unable to cope I was. The teachers put me down, said I had no talent whatever.” Lucy's blue eyes flash. “New York frightened me. Still does. You have to take me out of the hotel on a leash to get me on the streets of New York today. Being tall, lithe and well-sculptured, Lucy took up modeling. But then, almost tragically, she contracted pneumonia with complications and was bedridden for eight months. It took three years of convalescence before she regained complete control of her legs. At 21, through an agent, she was hired to become a Sam Goldwyn showgirl in Hollywood for an Eddie Cantor film, “Roman Scandals”. 

Would Take Any Part 

“Out here in California, I knew as much as the rest of the girls in movies, which was nothing,” she says. “The difference was I would take any part. I never sought to be a star. I didn't mind being typed. I wanted to be typed. One of the greatest thrills of my life was hearing a director say he wanted a Lucille Ball-type for a picture. 

Of course, later it was different, she growls, "when they said they wanted a young Lucille Ball-type. 

In 10 years as willing “Queen of the B movies," Miss Ball was out of work only two days. 

In 1939 she met a young Cuban bandleader named Desi Arnaz, and they married in 1940. From the beginning, their marriage was a difficult venture: Desi toured the United States with his group, while she stayed in Hollywood making movies. Then Desi served in the army, while Lucy starred not in films but a popular radio series, “My Favorite Husband”. They split. They tried again. 

Finally, in 1951, in a desperate move to keep their marriage alive. Lucy sold CBS on what, at the time, seemed an unlikely television series: "I Love Lucy.” 

It was the beginning of greater professional success, but not the end of domestic upheaval. Their first child, Lucie, was born when her mother was 40; Desi was born when Lucy was 43. But the much-adored children were not to save the marriage, and in 1960 - tearfully, knowing her diligent efforts had failed - Lucille divorced Desi, citing his outbursts of temperament, instability and violence. Desi did not contest the action. 

In parting, they split a $20-million television empire. They are better friends today - at arms length, with new matrimonial ties - than they were during the 19 years of marriage. 

Today, Lucy’s sense of well-being with one-time comedian Gary Morton (who is executive vice president of her production company), is obvious and delightful.

"It s really a super life, grins Gary, living with a thoroughbred." Says Lucy, I guess its very possible to live without a good man. Possible, but no fun. To bake a cake is no fun without a man. It’s no fun to make a garden without a man to watch it grow." 

Lucy also is, and always has been, a proud and over-protective mother. Is that bad? I don’t think so." 

A Share Of Problems 

But despite Lucy’s mother-hen" closeness to Lucie, now 22, and young Desi. 20, the Arnaz offspring have strayed into their share of problems. Desi and actress Patty Duke had a much-publicized affair when he was 16 (and Patty was 28); later he became engaged to Liza Minnelli, but that broke up last summer. Lucie was married in 1971 to actor Philip Vandervort, but the couple quickly split. 

Lucy is convinced her daughter, who is featured on “Here’s Lucy," will be a star. “Lucie," her mom says, “has all the material of stardom - ability, inclination, vitality, intelligence, beauty, good sense and good taste. 

“Wholesome Movies Alive" 

In fact, one reason that Lucille Ball finally agreed after three years of rejecting the role to star in the movie “Mame” is that Gary convinced me it could keep wholesome movies alive for talented people like my daughter. 

"This industry," Lucy shudders, “has turned into a sex-and-violence factory. The whole thing’s ugly, with thousands of ugly people ripping-off their clothes and ripping-off the public. If that’s what makes good box office, and if box office is what they mean by success, then success is out of kilter!”

FOOTNOTES FROM THE FUTURE

(1) The advertising slogan “We Try Harder” was developed in 1962 for Hertz Rent-A-Car company, who was perpetually number two in popularity to Hertz Rent-A-Car. Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett satirized the campaign on “The Carol Burnett Show” on October 2, 1967. 

(2) Henry Ball, Lucille’s father, was actually a telephone lineman, not a mining engineer. One story had Hunt as the executive of a mining company in Montana. his death certificate listed him as a ‘laborer’. 

(3) Julius Tannen (1880-1965) was a monologist in vaudeville. He was known to stage audiences for his witty improvisations and creative word games. He had a successful career as a character actor in films, appearing in over 50 films in his 25-year film career. He is probably best known to film audiences from the musical Singin' in the Rain, in which he appears as the man demonstrating a talking picture early in the film.

Liza Koshy was actually on Hot Ones, I forgot you had Liza in your list of guests you want to be in Hot Ones. How did you like it?

Honestly? I loved it so much! I actually just watched it this weekend! She was funny, a big fan of Sean, she did the “Houston, Texas, baby” that she and Beyonce are famous for lol! Plus she was a boss with the wings, (even with her acrylic nails Lolol!) and her stories about Vogue red carpet were hilarious! Not to mention her impressions! She grown so much! And I can’t say that I don’t miss her stupid cooking videos and dollar store memes (and Jett of course) but she’s come such a long way!! It’s hard not to be proud lol!

[davidsvlogs]

I need to get this off my chest: i really really REALLY miss Liza. Like I just need a new Dollar Store Video and I need her to interact with everyone and I just need her in a normal video (vlog style-ish) because I hate those perfect videos! She is funnier when she is not scripted. I‘m sad about it.

i think she’s in too deep now...it would take a lot for her to go back to her roots

Hey there, I got a question of more a request. Can you maybe please write a Mariliza Fan fiction cause I love all your stories and Mariliza is one of my OTPs

(Edited by: @dflwrites)

“Oh, they’re all so cute!” Eliza squealed as she ran ahead of her girlfriend towards the pile of puppies. Her and Maria had decided to find one to adopt and she just couldn’t help herself! They were all so cute, she wasn’t sure she could choose just one!

Maria smiled and followed behind her. It was cute seeing Eliza so excited and she herself was excited to pick out a new little friend to take home. “I hope you know we can only afford to pick out one,” she reminded her, looking through the kennels with her. “A small one, right?”

But Eliza was entranced by the dog that was clearly part St Bernard. “But he’s so fluffy!”

“He’s cute, but he’s too big for our apartment, ‘Liza,” Maria reminded her, putting a hand on her girlfriend’s back. “Come on, let’s look at something smaller, okay?”

“Okay..” Eliza reluctantly moved away from the giant ball of fluff and towards some of the smaller dogs, though she didn’t find them any less adorable. “They’re all so cute..” She seemed to move between a few different kennels, equally in love with all of them.

“You know, you can play with a few of them for a bit, see who you like best,” Maria reminded her. “I can go get someone to help us.”

“Yes, please.”

Maria smiled to herself and did just that, coming back with someone who worked at the shelter.

“So, who are we looking at first?” he asked, watching Eliza.

Eliza hummed in thought. She knew deep down that they were only going to get one, as much as she hated to admit it. Eliza also knew that the more time she spent there, the more little puppers she’d fall in love with. So which one was the perfect one for her?

“Maybe this little guy?” Eliza suggested, pointing at a tiny mixed breed dog. He was small and a level of energetic that they’d be able to handle, and he even seemed to like Maria when she came close, which, for someone Eliza knew to be more of a cat person, was saying something.

“Gary, a good choice.” He got the dog and took them to a small room, letting them take him to play. “I’ll be right out here, if you two need anything. Feel free to take your time with him,” the worker said before smiling and shutting the door, letting the three be.

The dog ran around between the two girls, practically jumping with excitement, and Eliza was overjoyed, cooing as the little guy jumped into her lap.

Maria smiled and knelt down beside her, petting the little guy’s head. “He is precious.. Do you think he could be the one?”

Eliza smiled to herself. She was convinced that getting Maria to fall in love with a dog was going to be a real challenge, but seeing how quickly she fell for this one.. “He’s perfect.” She picked up their new furry friend and walked out of the room, Maria following close behind.

Seeing the looks on their faces, the worker knew exactly what they were going to say. “Should I get the adoption papers?”

Eliza nodded quickly. “Yes, thank you.”

He smiled and did that, the two women following him out and to the main lobby. In a matter of minutes and a thirty dollar adoption fee, the dog was theirs, renamed Alexander, seeing as he was as hyper as their friend with the same name.

They let the dog sit in the back of the car as Maria drove them to the nearest pet store, holding her girlfriend’s hand at the same time.

“Maybe someday, it’ll be a kid we bring home..” Eliza suggested, though she knew that was years away. “Not anytime soon, but someday…”

Maria smiled and kissed the back of her girlfriend’s hand. “I think you’re right..”

Eliza hummed happily and leaned over, kissing Maria’s cheek at a red light.

Maria blushed lightly at that, lightly squeezing her girlfriend’s hand. She wasn’t sure when and she wasn’t sure how, but someday soon, she’ll finally give Eliza that diamond ring in her drawer. And she’d make it much like this day: a moment neither of them would ever forget.

(Hey, guys! Quick note: I’m making a new posting schedule based on you guys. After every post, I start a metaphorical clock for 96 hours, or four days, and every note takes off one hour until the next thing I post. For example, the 2p story got 10 notes, not including my reblogs, so this was posted 86 hours later. I’m doing this because it honestly does hurt me when I have over 1500 followers and, on a one shot that me and @dflwrites work hard on, I get less than 15 notes, especially when I can make a quick text post and get more than that in less than a day. And, before you ask, I’m putting this under a one shot rather than on it’s own or before the one shot because I wouldn’t want people liking just because they want to see something else, something that caters to them, rather than because they like what I do and appreciate the work I put into it. Having said that, please don’t just tell this to others, that’ll kill the point. I’ll add this note under the next few posts until I think enough people have read it. If you guys have any questions or anything about this, please DM me. Thank you for taking the time to read this!)

The Barrista Boy(4/?)

I went to one more class that day, before I decided to call it quits and take a day off. I payed burr a twenty to make a copy of his notes for all of our important classes, he may be pretty annoying; but hey, he takes some pretty fucking great notes. When I got back to my dorm I had some coffee, which gave me enough energy to both start and finish this semester’s group project, for everyone in the group. I made sure to add a slightly different grammar style for each person’s part-which is one of my best talents. But now there’s nothing to do. Fucking hell.

I stand up from my very comfortable place on the couch and walk to my room. I was shocked by the perfectly made bed and neat...everything. John had left a note on the desk, thank you again for letting me take the bed, you really are too kind Alex. Can I call you Alex by the way? Or should I stick with Alexander? Whoops...I’m rambling a bit now. Anyway, by the time you get back I’ll probably be at work, if you want to stop by I’ll get you your usual medium black coffee. Hope you’re having a great day!

I like you,

-John

P.s. have you seen my sweatshirt? It’s green with Laurens on the back.

Xx

I noticed something crossed out, but I couldn’t make it out. I was still wearing the sweatshirt, I mean I wasn’t gonna take it off. I was...cold, and it smelled nice. I can’t decide if that justifies wearing it. I hesitantly slip off the sweatshirt and fold it neatly on the bed.

Shit, the boredom’s back. It’s about 4:30 pm, I guess another coffee wouldn’t hurt. I wish I had a fucking car. Dammit Liza, she always drove me places, afterall her dad was loaded. I’ll walk, I could stand to lose a few pounds anyway. I lock the door to the dorm behind me and start my walk, 10 blocks to starbucks. I pass by Samuel Seabury on the street, being a straight up idiot, reading something George III payed him to say. I gave him a five dollar bill out of pity and told him politely to ‘shut the fuck up,’ and continued on my merry way.

-----------------------------lil’ mini time skip soley cuz I don’t really know how to explain someone walking and also it’s fucking boring so yeah, oh and this is brought you by Jasmine Cephas Jones cuz she’s fucking gorgeous. You’re welcome.

Boom, Starbucks, the home of white girls and overpriced drinks. There he stand apron and all taking some chic’s order. I smile to myself and hop in line. I few more people order adn then it’s my turn. He smiles widely when he sees me.

“Just a medium black coffee, sir?”

“Yup, freckles” he blushed lighly from the nickname.

“O-Okay, that’ll be 3.62. I get off in a few minutes, do you mind waiting? I feel like I have to pay you back for letting me stay at your place.”

“I’d love to wait.” With that I walked to the counter to pick up my coffee. On it was alexander in nice handwriting with a heart next to it. I could feel my face heating up and I looked down, after noticing John’s gaze was still on me. I sat down in one of the dirty old leather chairs that they have sitting out and waited, twiddling my thumbs thinking about how soft John’s lips must be-

“You ready to go alex?” I looked up and there he was.

“Yeah.” I said. We walked out and just wandered aimlessly for a few minutes, before John spoke,

“Do you wanna go back to your place and chill with Herc and Laf? Maybe invite Peggy?”

“Uhhh...sure I guess.” I say hesitantly. In the least creepy way possible, I just enjoyed being alone with him.

“I’ll buy drinks.” he added awkwardly. Then I was fucking sold. Getting drunk with my friends was always fun. Given it didn’t really take a lot to get me drunk. Being 5’5” I don’t really hold alcohol the best.

John and I stopped at the liquor store and we split the cost of the beer. I offered to carry the bag back to the dorm; but after John saw the fact that I could barely lift the fucking thing, he offered. I tried to argue, but he just shot me a don’t try to be all manly look. The actual walk back was genuinely really nice. We talked about highschool. I learned he had gone to school in South Carolina until his Junior year when he moved to New York. My next question was one he’d probably heard before,

“What happened to your accent then?” He looked down,

“Oh, I suppose I got made fun of for it my first year of college, so I just learned to hide it pretty well…it still comes out sometimes when I stop thinking, or I get crazy exhausted...or when I get super drunk.” He scratched the back of his head.

“Oh. Well I’d love to hear it sometime.” I mumbled the last bit, but I think he still heard it. We talked about a lot, but I did fail to mention a few things. For example, my past relationship with Thomas.

When we got back John called Peggy, and I gathered Laf and Herc from their adjoining dorm. The door burst open after a few minutes.

“I heard there was booze. Pass me some of that shit” I grabbed a beer and tossed to her. I took one myself and popped the top off, taking a few sips and tossed one to John.

------------------------time skippppppppp to where everyone’s happy and completely shitfaced, cuz that’s always fun.

“Why does no one talk about how hot Sebastian the crab is,” I slurred. We were watching the little mermaid and it’d never been this funny before. I’d only had 2 or 3 beers, but I was definitey drunk as hell.

“Why does no one talk about how hot Alex is?” John giggled, he was on his eighth beer damn that boy could really hold his liquor. Lafayette looked at Herc as he made a little heart with his hands and pointed at us. Peggy started snorting after she chugged another beer.

“OOoh what should John and Alex’s ship name beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?” Peggy slurred streaching out the “be.”

“Hmmmmmmm” Herc looked like he was deep in thought.

“Haurens?” Laf asked Peggy looked horrified,

“Are you saying what I think you’re saying? You think that Alex would top? Bitch he is like the bottomiest person I fucking know-” that’s all she could say before breaking into hysterical laughter. Laf pondered her words before replying in his typical french accent,

“You are right. Lams?” Peggy’s eyes lit up.

“Yesssss! It’s perfect,” I could see her little fangirl heart sing, “now all we need is a nice Lams moment.” Even in my drunk state I realized what was happening.

“Kiss, kiss, kiss!” Laf and Peggy chanted. John looked at me, as if to ask for permission. I shrugged awkwardly trying to play it off as no big deal. I don’t think I convinced anyone. We were all sitting on the floor in front of the tv, the movie still playing. He was sitting directly across from me. The others sat waiting around us as he scooted forward till he was only inches from me. He placed his hand on my face and leaned in. The kiss was perfect. It wasn’t really lustful, but it wasn’t completely innocent either, it was a perfect mixture of everything. After a few moments we broke apart and I just looked in his green eyes.

“Damn,” I could hear the southern accent.

A/n: I’m not a fan of how this turned out, it feels as if a 9 y/o wrote it lmao

Possible unpopular opinion

Ayt lets be real, we all know the only reason liza did that shitty dollar store video- okay not the only reason but one of the reasons is just so that when she posts the next season of her show it doesn’t look like her channels fake and just a channel for the show and make it seem like its a legitimate youtube channel (in the sense like juicystar07 posts but barely and ellesglittergossip never posts so in my mind they’re not longer “youtubers”) unlike the reality, which is that she’s not a youtuber anymore, she just has a YouTube channel

If im bothered I’ll come back and explain this eloquently but rn I cbb
