This is the second installment in my series "The H in Sara Stands for Have A Nice Day" which is loosely based on the Bon Jovi album Have A Nice Day, the first one moreso than this one.

This one still has lore, though! Enjoy!

Also, coincidentally, it's National Sara(h) day, so enjoy that as well

Last Cigarette

Sara was lying on the couch, her head resting in Hunter's lap, looking through the mail. If it was a bill she set it on the coffee table, if it was a Victoria’s Secret ad she handed it to Hunter so they could admire the pretty models together, and if it was personal she opened and read it from her awkward almost upside-down vantage point.

One such personal letter was particularly ill-fitted to be read upside-down, because as soon as she opened it a pack of Taco Bell hot sauce hit her in the face.

She picked up the packet and read it, laughing so hard that Hunter looked away from the Victoria’s Secret ad.

“What is it?”

Sara lifted the Fire Sauce packet so Hunter could read it.

Hunter read aloud, “Too bad you're not single. Huh. Do you have a secret admirer I should know about?”

She certainly wasn't worried about someone stealing Sara away, they'd made a comfortable little life together and she knew Sara was as all-in as she was.

“No, no, it's an inside joke. Let's see, how do I explain it…”

“You don't have to explain your inside jokes if you don't want to, I trust you.”

Sara nodded as she sat up. Hunter had been running a hand through her hair and had to untangle her fingers so she didn't pull out any hair.

“I know I don't have to tell you, but I want to. This,” Sara took back the sauce packet, “is from my ex-girlfriend. We dated in college and she used to hide Taco Bell sauce packets in my stuff because she knew I hated Taco Bell.”

“I didn't know you hated Taco Bell,” Hunter said as if that was the most important thing Sara had just said.

Sara's eyes glittered with a righteous passion, “It's not real Mexican food. It's slop masquerading as Mexican food.”

“Noted.” It made sense now why Sara never picked Taco Bell or any similarly inauthentic taco places when they were deciding what to get for dinner.

“Anyway, Nora used to find the silliest, flirtiest hot sauces and leave them around for me to find. She kept it up when we broke up because we still lived together and by then it was just a fun game we played.”

“Wait, you kept living with your ex when you broke up?” That was even more surprising than Sara not liking Taco Bell.

“Yeah, I mean, it was a no-fault break-up.”

“What happened?”

“Well, she's straight and I'm a trans woman.”

“Ohh. That checks out.”

Sara smiled softly, “I owe her a lot, though. She was the first person to support me in my transition, she helped me figure out my personal style, she even helped me pick out my name. I wouldn't have made it very far without her.”

“She sounds pretty awesome.”

“She is.” Sara unfolded the letter and scanned it. “She's married now, that was a couple years back, and her and her husband have a little boy now. She wants us to come visit them when we get the chance.”

Sara showed Hunter the family picture that had been included. “It's nice… It's nice that she's still including me in her life, even after we parted ways. Not everyone puts in that kind of effort.”

“Are you going to write back?”

“Yeah, I think I will.”

“Hold on.” Hunter hopped up, disappearing into their bedroom and reappearing a minute later holding something.

She sat back down and handed Sara the mystery item, a small stack of photos. Most of them were of Hunter and Sara, one of them was from Christmas and included Hunter’s Aunt, Uncle, and cousins as well as Sara and Hunter.

“Since she sent you a picture of her family I thought maybe you’d want to send her some of yours,” Hunter suggested, resting her head on Sara’s shoulder.

Sara beamed, a little choked up, “Perfect.”

Just watched the first two episodes of Rings of Power. Thoughts:

Lore

Basically fanfiction. Literally. Galadriel is completely disrespected by the writing. She is one of the most ancient and most powerful Elves in the lore, and by the second age was married with a child, of whom married Elrond later. And here, she has been made into a moody teenager. The people around her do not hold her in the reverence they should. Literally her crew abandoned her in episode 1?! That was utterly baffling.

Aman has not yet been separated from the world so the weird parting of the clouds to allow passage made no sense. Galadriel being so bloodthirsty about the loss of her brother is over the top. Elves do not actually die the way Men do- they will all meet again in the Halls of Mandos to either await reincarnation into identical bodies they had in life, or to be released at the end of time. Galadriel is guaranteed to meet him again. (That's why Elrond was so upset about losing his daughter- she was choosing a mortal life, and so her soul would go to where Men souls go. He and she would literally never meet again, unlike other Elves).

Harfoots are not precursor Hobbits- they ARE Hobbits. There are three different types of Hobbits and Harfoots are one of them. There was really no need to make them "precursor" Hobbits at all.

That said, I do like the Harfoots. The way they disguise their camp was very clever. They are fun and the best part of the show right now.

I don't mind the made-up characters too much. With Elf-Man romances, Tolkien usually wrote a Female Elf and Male Man romance. I like to see the Male Elf/Female Man dynamic instead this time, a nice change of pace. The characters themselves aren't interesting but it's only been two episodes.

The Meteor Man is likely one of the Maiar, but who I cannot say. Gandalf doesn't appear till the Third Age. And none of the Wizards appeared this way- falling of the sky, naked. The Wizards purposely took the forms of old men, and this guy is a tad younger, and... unable to understand language? That's pretty weird. The Maiar are basically Angels- they aren't so unaware of the ways of Elves and Men like being able to speak. He should be able to at least understand speech.

Maybe he is one of the Blue Wizards? Tolkien had written that they appeared in the second age during the forging of the One Ring, so it could work that way. Plus, Tolkien wrote very little about the Blue Wizards, so the writers can have a bit more free reign since it's mostly uncharted territory. The Blue Wizards, Alatar and Pallando, were tasked with weakening Sauron's forces in the East and the South. But Alatar was the one asked to go by the Valar, and he asked Pallando to join him. Well, there is only one Meteor Man. If this is Alatar, where is Pallando?

And finally, the Dwarves. Sorry but Beardless Drawf women? I hate it. I can deal with the bad Elf haircuts, but Bearded lady Dwarves would have been SO much better. That said, Disa is actually great, I like her a lot.

Writing and Acting

Passable. But man, I was bored with the two episodes. Only the Harfoots caught my attention. Galadriel is too :/ all the time to be engaging. She has a single emotion on her face at all times. In fact, most of the characters are pretty uninteresting so far. Harfoots are alright, so is Disa. Short list though.

Her jumping into the ocean and swimming literally (not even joking) across the entire ocean, finding the single raft in a thousand miles, and that said raft managing to have a single survivor at the end of it all? The dumbest writing I have seen in a while. Terrible.

Also, some of the lines are pretty bad. Her brother's line about why a rock doesn't float is truly terrible, like laughably. The one elf jumping down into the hole because "he doesn't know what's down there" is just him being dumb. The writing just lacks that Tolkien wisdom and eloquence.

I was actually more interested in the Two Trees and Morgoth... who appeared for all of 2 seconds, alas. Amazon doesn't own the rights to those so they can't adapt it but maaaannn, I wanted that story. I want to see the Valar just kick some evil Morgoth butt! See the great spider consume the light of the Trees. The fight over the Silmarils, or the time of the Lamps!

Sigh.

There are about... five or so storylines we are following- Galadriel, Elrond, the new Elf they introduced, his human love interest, and the Harfoots. It's.... busy. I've read that the first two episodes are slow but actually I feel like they are fast for each storyline. I don't really feel like I get to know anyone. They hamfist enough for you to know who the character is and their motivations, and then stuff happens. Not particularly engaging. Again, the Harfoots do it a bit better, since they are given some time to breath a little more.

Cinematography

Mixture of very beautiful, boring, and ungrounded.

Some of the shots are just stunning. Truly, some of these places look great. But then at other times, they feel more like a highly detailed video game then a place I could actually visit.

And yet, for all their beauty, very rarely did they feel... grand. We would get a far away shot... then move to scene. Rarely did we get to drink it in, or get multiple angles to give scale and grandeur. They did kind of do this for the Dwarf city but strangely, I found myself unimpressed with the city. These are not the Halls of Durin, where there where golden roofs, silver floors, and crystals lamps hewn with a magic glow. Forget the Halls, it's just a more impressive cave.

Also, some really weird close up shots on the actors from time to time, not sure why.

Garden Cuddlio Aftermath

Hey! Roxy Goth here. I've recently gotten into this show, Seven And Me. Unfortunately it doesn't have a fanfiction section, however I've had this idea and don't want it to go to waste.

So Seven and Me is about the modern-day [2016] descendants of Snow White and there adventures. It's on Netflix [not sure if it's on anywhere else] and I find it quite fun and up-beat. From info I can find out about it it's Italian-French and aired on French 3.

So, background info aside, let's move onto the disclaimer. I DO NOT own Seven and Me or any of these versions of the dwarfs. I do not own Snow White in general [fairly certain it's probably Disney now?] All I have is a deep adoration of Fairy Tales.

Last Note - this fic happens during the episode 'Garden Cuddlio' where the youngest dwarf, Cuddlio, is accidently turned into a stone statue by his older magic-using brother Mysterio. It's up to Snow and the other dwarfs to get him back before the sun sets and he stays that way forever!

Characters:

Beefio - Not sure what number dwarf he is. He's not the oldest and not the youngest. I have a fancy he's the middle one, but I don't think that's ever been confirmed. As his name may suggest he likes working out. He seems quite straight-forward and blunt at times.

Deco - I think I've worked out he's one of the younger dwarfs. Cuddlio is the only one he ever refers to as 'younger brother', so my theory is he's the second-youngest. He may be the third-youngest, but no older than that. I think his name's probably associated with 'Art Deco' because he's very fashionable. Despite this he never let's admiring his looks ge in the way of helping his Snow!

Geez, it had been a tiring day today. Getting Cuddlio from the evil Sophia's clutches hadn't exactly been on Beefio's 'top ten things he wanted to do' list, but nevertheless it had happened. After all that Beefio was looking forward to a quick work out, soak in the tub and then bed.

He was headed for part one of that plan when he passed Deco's room and heard, what could only be described as, 'dramatic sighing'

Beefio's first instinct was to ignore his younger brother and carry on, but another sigh gave him concern. He let out a frustrated groan and spun on his heel, heading towards Deco's 'chambers'. "Alright!" He said, leaming against the doorway. "What's up wit' ya? Has one off your stupid mirrors cracked again?"

"Go away, Beefio!" Deco said, tiredly, from his bed. "I'm not in the mood for being insulted."

Beefio frowned slightly and had a quick look around to see if there was anyone more equipped than him to handle this. Ideally he wanted Brianio - the oldest dwarf always knew just what to say - or maybe Cuddlio, as the youngest had the ability to cheer any of his brothers up, no matter how sad they were. Typically neither of them were there. Beefio briefly considered getting Ingenio or Mysterio to help [as the only other two drawfs in the attic], but upon hearing mad laughing and menacing cackling echoing from his older brother respective chambers, Beefio realised he was going to have to handle this one alone.

"I don't insult you." Beefio said, in a slightly offended manner. "When was the last time I insulted you?"

The silence was telling.

"Now we've got that out the way-" Beefio carried on, sitting carefully on the edge of his brothers bed. "-Tell me what's wrong so I know who to punch."

Deco gave a small laugh then plastered a clearly false smile on his face and said, while pushing his shades further up his nose. "Don't worry about it, it's cool. Go back to punching your weird bag-"

"DECO-"

The younger dwarfs shoulders sagged and he sighed. "Okay, okay, I'll tell you. It was earlier when Sofia-"

"-The modern-day incarnation of the wicked witch, you mean?"

"-Yeah, her, said I was 'ugly'. Which is...CLEARLY stupid as I am obviously the most handsome one here." Deco fished his mirror out his pocket and finger-gunned it. "Right, Beefio?"

"Yeah, yeah, but looks aren't everything ya know. Muscles, intelligence, they're good as well-"

Then a slightly weird thing happened. Deco's jawline tightened as did his grip on the mirror.

Noticing this Beefio asked him what was wrong.

"Nothing." Deco said, cheerfully. "Don't worry 'bout it-"

"Oh no." Beefio reached out and took the mirror off him. "You're not getting out of this conversation that easily. What're you thinking?"

Deco sighed. "It's just...I always thought I was the handsome one. The one who helps Snow with style, helps her make sure she looks fit to be a queen. Helps her with confidence! It just...frustrates me that I feel this way when I KNOW I'm the most handsome one. But...then, I dunno, can I do any more than that?"

"Right, stop there." Beefio put the mirror on the floor and positioned himself so he was properly facing his brother. Deco did the same, so the two were facing each other. "Now, I'll be the first to admit I rib you about you being obsessed with your looks, but there's other things associated with that. You're good at art, you know what coulors and styles and stuff should go together, which is more than the rest of us do. You're not so COMPLETLY pre-occupied with your vanity here-" At this point Beefio waved the mirror in the air, much to Deco's alarm. "-That you can't help us out. Eh...you're really good with Snow and I know all of us are-" He added, seeing Deco start to open his mouth. "But you're not as 'I'm the adult' as Brainio is, you're not as unpredictable as Mysterio, nor as mad as Ingenio. Gulpo's great, but he can be a bit childish at time. Cuddlio is more a friend to her than any sort of guide, which is fine, mainly cos she's got six other guides, and me?" He shrugged. "I try, but I know I can be a bit to direct sometimes. That's another thing you're good at!" He added, prodding his brothers chest. "You've got this weird kind of ability to tell people harsh truths about themselves and for them to NOT hate you afterwards! How'd you DO that?"

Deco smiled and threw his head back in a way that would probably have been really effective, had he had had longer hair. "What can I say, Beefio? It's the Deco-Charm." His hand went automatically to his pocket, then stopped midway.

Beefio gave a look that indicated his brother was stupid and brandished the mirror again.

Deco grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry, totally a force of habit..."

"Yeah. Well..." Beefio picked the mirror of the ground and handed it back to his brother. "...My point is, there's a lot more to you than just looks, okay? So Sophia says you're ugly, so what? Firstly - who cares what she thinks? You just have to look at her daughter to know what values SHE has. Also, also don't forget, we ARE talking about a women who leaps at any opportunity to bring Snow and her family down. Secondly - and more relevantly - she a HUMAN. With all the will in the world they're not going to get what makes a DWARF handsome!"

"Well...that's why I wear the suit and stuff." Deco admitted. "I feel more at home that way. I mean, obviously I'm proud of my dwarfian roots and all that, but would a little humanity be THAT bad?"

"Of course not." Beefio said, immediately, before prodding Deco again and saying, mock-threateningly. "Just as long as you're wearing it cos YOU want to look good rather than to try and 'gain acceptance' or some rubbish like that-"

Deco smiled and shook his head, and Beefio clamped his mouth shut. Then - rather terrifyingly - Deco lunged forward and hugged him with a happy. "Thanks Beefio!" He then (thankfully) let him go again, with a cheerful. "You know, you're not half bad at this counselling stuff. Watch it though! Brainio will think you're after his job!"

"Yeah, yeah..." With that Beefio gave his brother and affectionate swipe round the head, which earned him a complaint he was messing up Deco's hair, before heading off to finally do his work-out.
