How would Pope be in a relationship with kitty reader?🤭

Also can I be 💞anon

(⑅◞ ִ ◟⑅) · ˚ 𓈒 🎀 ྀི 🌸 ♡

🍥 a lot of scolding, but in a loving way of course. he wants you to be safe, but sometimes it’s hard to ensure that when you’re constantly climbing up things that you shouldn’t and prioritising giving him sass over listening and being careful. “god, sometimes it’s like… it’s like someone took jj and turned him into a hot girl.” he mutters to himself, watching you stomp off after he’s simply told you to ‘stop climbing up random trees.’

🍥 you have a habit of sinking your teeth into him and not letting go. the two of you will be cuddling in his room, watching a movie about space he’d been dying to show you, and soon he feels your sharp teeth sink into your arm. “um, ouch.” he sarks, blinking down at your head waiting for you to remove your teeth. he strokes the back of your head when you do not. “you know what, that’s fine. you stay there as long as you need, i guess.”

🍥 much like he would with deer!reader, he busies himself with educating himself on all of your interests. this shows when you’re cruising around old antique shops with him, his head whipping towards you when he hears your elated gasp, coming across a vintage baby doll that you just needed. “look pope! isn’t she cute!” you coo at possibly the most haunted looking doll the boy has ever seen. “for sure. is that a… 1920s porcelain?” you turn to look at him, eyes glazed and practically heart shaped. “how’d you know that?” you shudder and he shrugs a shoulder, smirking. “i do my research and shit.” he gets the sloppiest head once you’d returned home, your new doll sat on the shelf watching.

🍥 pope lets you cut all his old shirts he doesn’t want anymore into crop tops. he thinks you look especially cute lounging around your bedroom in a pair of panties and a messily-cropped ‘heyward seafood�� tshirt.

🍥 always gently adjusting your attitude, his favourite way to do so is to spread your legs and eat you out. by the end, all that sass you had originally has disappeared and you’re cuddling up to him, sweet as ever. “you’re not as difficult as you pretend to be you know.” he smiles, pressing a kiss to your forehead after he was done.

Day #4 - Reticent

It was a perfect night in Thanalan. The air was slightly cool with nary an errant breeze, the sky was clear and full of stars, even the insects had fallen silent for the upcoming event. The groundskeepers had enthusiastically seen to that. Alexander cut a tall silhouette astride an ornate sandstone podium at the garden's gate, away from the bustle of the estate proper and it's horde of servants.

The Midlander couldn't help but fidget, constantly adjusting his attire. The glove must blend with the cuff, but not be restrained by it. No creases where not necessary. Lapel chain to hang three ilms from the breast pocket. Buttons polished to a sheen, the rabble won't notice but He will. Hair... A few black strands streaked with grey fell over his left eye, an ever present flaw no matter the stylist. Barely acceptable but too late to fix. Thankfully He seems to tolerate it. The guests would be arriving soon, and his role was merely to greet them with the charm and attention each deserved.

He spotted the light of the first carriage a malm away at the main gate. Alexander did a final once over of his suit, adjusting the fit of the gloves and smoothing over the jacket's fabric, the inky blue of the attire almost fading into the night around him. Taking his place at the gate, he opened the jewel adorned guest book to the first page, putting on the requisite smile. This is very much beneath me. I'm being punished, aren't I.

-

As the first carriage arrived at the garden entrance Alexander could already see a trail forming down the path. No time for idle pleasantries it would seem, especially not with our first guest. His train of thought was quickly interrupted as the first pair of guests strode up to the podium, a Hellsguard pair, complexions of stone and sand. Alexander offered a half bow as they approached, holding the pose as he addressed them.

"The East Aldenard Trading Company is honored to have the attendance of Amajina and Sons this night. His Lordship bids you enjoy your fill until the sun shines. Of particular interest to the good sers, we have arranged an exhibition match between one of the Coliseum's rising stars and an Auri warrior from the far east."

The older of the two gave a low, raspy laugh, as if rocks were ground together in his throat. "Your master is trying to show off I see, but my son will take down whichever wins. Come on Zimberk." He beckoned to the younger roegadyn and the two strode onwards towards the mansion, now lit up in extravagant splendour. Brutes. Predictable and useful. No sooner had Alexander raised his head was the next guest striding his way, with a line threatening to form behind them.

-

"Lady Sartorie, what an unexpected pleasure." Witch. Will need to schedule an Ossuary inspection.

"Ser Tobias, ever the picture of health!" I'm surprised his heart didn't give out on the ride over.

"Lord and Lady Sark, we hope the journey from Coerthas was a pleasant one. Ah, and this must be your dear daughter that you spoke of last turn, she takes after you both." There's a bloodlust in those eyes. Will have the menagerie secured.

"Captain Doenstyrmwyn, His Lordship is quite keen to make your acquaintance. Hmm? Yes of course, our records are quite discreet, sudden additional guests are no issue." She's 'very' green, the Monetarists will eat her alive.

-

The line of guests had seemed to stretch for an eternity, but barely two bells had passed before they were all accounted for and enjoying themselves. Alexander allowed himself a moment to breathe and stretch. There was an ache in his left hand, chronic, but the note work didn't help. After composing himself and attending to his outfit, he took up the guest book and strode back towards the estate, banking around towards the provisioner's entrance. Now for the real work to begin. It's going to be a very long night.

[your-local-hollow-lover]

Espada with an s/o love hugging them and always giving them compliments 🥰 Thank you!

I made some mix between HC and scenarios lol Idk what this is but I think is good! Hope you like it! :D

COYOTE STARRK

At first, he has several question marks floating around his head. He is a Hollow, which means he's a destructive creature so powerful he's cursed with eternal loneliness. Starrk is dazed the first time you tell him:

"I love spending time with you!" Like, why? All he does is sleep and occasionally pay attention to you whenever you visit.

"Starrk, you're soft for a Hollow!" Well, that's a bit denigrating, but he likes that you aren't afraid to speak your mind to him.

"Dearest Starrk, I missed you." Now that's... wow. He finds himself invaded by an entirely new and pleasant feeling.

One day, you both were chilling, cuddling between cosy sheets and fluffy cushions. Your head rested over his chest while his cheek was on your head. Stark wrapped his arms around you as you took in as much of his scent as you could.

"I want it to be morning already," you commented idly. Starrk moved to face you. His gaze was surprisingly soft.

"Why?" he inquired.

"I want to eat the brownies I bought this afternoon. Morning sweets and coffee are my favourites for breakfast," you told him. Starrk hummed, pulling closer as he nuzzled your hair.

Then, an intrusive thought reached your mind. "Starrk... have you ever looked forward to doing something when you wake up?" your voice was gentle as you stroked his hair. The motion was relaxing. Sark adored, if not treasured, those gestures.

"What do you mean?"

"Like, have you ever wanted to do something first thing in the morning when you opened your eyes?"

When he answered that he'd love to open his eyes to find he wasn't alone anymore, your heart broke a little.

"You know what? Tomorrow morning you're trying the brownies with me. I think you'd like chocolate!" you looked happy as you stroked his cheek, "How's that sounds?"

A fond feeling bloomed inside him when he saw through your intentions, making his tummy tickle.

"Sounds like something to look forward to when I wake up."

TIER HARRIBEL

She finds recognition to be natural. Her fraction constantly gives words of admiration regarding her strength. Your compliments, however, are somehow different.

"I love the way your hair seems to glow in the night." She looks at you as if you've said something nonsensical. Those words, however, remain in her head for the rest of the week.

"Your Hollow mask is so pretty... may I touch it?" She's amazed but scolds you for wanting such a thing. When you persist, Harribel sighs and lets you.

You start by tracing a line from her jaw to her chin, minding the sharp edges of the bone so as not to cut yourself. You go to her high cheek then, gracefully stroking the union between the bone and the skin. Harribel leans into the touch, and as soon as she realizes her action, she snaps back, pulling away.

"It's okay," you tell her, "we can go at a slow pace."

That's the first time she thinks how nice it is to have you there.

ULQUIORRA CIFER

He told you he didn't believe in the concept of the human heart. How could emotions exist if he couldn't see them? If he couldn't touch them. Feelings were a game only humans could play. Despite the concept of the human heart making him curious, Ulquiorra (as a Hollow) did not need them, nor did he want them... or did he?

You pondered his reasoning in your head for a couple of days before coming up with a plan.

"The marks on your face are beautiful," you reached out to touch them and he grabbed your wrist harshly before your hand approached his face.

"What are you doing?"

You held back a whimper when he squeezed your wrist with the clear intention to cause you pain.

"You're always saying emotions do not exist because they can't be perceived by sight. But they can. Let me show you how to see them. Let me show you how to touch them." His look deepened as he gazed into your eyes. Despite the pain, you moved forward. "Please. You won't lose anything by letting me touch your face, would you?"

"Alright," he said after a moment, as he let go of your hand. "But know that this ridiculous display will hardly prove your point. This is meaningless to us."

You traced the fine green lines of his face with the tip of your fingers. "Have you always had them?" you seemed unable to keep amazement out of your voice.

Has he? Ulquiorra didn't know. He supposes so, and so he told you.

"Hmm. Your skin is softer than I thought," you noted as you softly stroked his cheeks.

This was doing something to him, Ulquiorra recognized, and the image of the crystal tree he found decades ago came to his mind. This sensation was similar to the one he experienced back then.

He slapped your hand away. "Enough. This is ridiculous."

Ulquiorra left your room shortly after, but you knew that was a good beginning.

NNOITRA GILGA

You didn't know how he'd take it. Ideally, Nnoitra would be content with your words. Realistically, you might lose your head. But truthfully, you were dying to get it out of you.

"You're so beautiful, Nnoitra." The words leave your lips before you can do something to repress them. There's a mix of amazement and deep affection to your tone.

Nnoitra turns to you, standing on all the glory of his realized form. There's blood all over him, and his gaze is still feral.

A sprint of passion goes wild through your veins. It's bracing rising, sparkling like fireworks through your soul, filling you with uncontrolled admiration. And suddenly, you're yelling. Not at him, but to the dessert. "Nnoitra Gilga is the strongest hollow! The strongest Espada!" you can't help but smile as wide as you feel your heart, "Are you listening?! He'll crush each one of you!"

He's looking at you as if you're crazy. His eye is open in astonishment as he slowly goes back to his regular form. Why do you always do this? The endless praising. The infinite loving gazes. The stupidly unnecessary kind gestures. You're fucking haywire. Sick. And it makes Nnoitra feel something that drives him terribly uneasy.

"Shut it!" he yells at you, stomping one foot on the sand. Your eyes meet his when you stop, and he can't stand the way you're looking at him.

"You're amazing," your voice is almost a whisper of short breaths.

"Praising from weaklings means fucking nothing." he spits. "Stop–"

The poor creature he defeated makes a final pitiful sound, and Nnoitra looks back at the pool of blood and brains that's now disintegrating before placing his sight forward.

It's useless discussing this with you. You never change, no matter how many death threats he makes. Nnoitra fears that if he says something, you'll start complimenting him again somehow. And more loving words are exactly what he wants to avoid. He hates how he feels whenever you say them.

"Let's go back."

Santa Teresa leaves a trail as he drags it on the sand. His chest is tight with a feeling he fucking despises, the one who always takes over whenever you manage to touch something inside him.

As he hears your soft humming behinds him, Nnoitra tells himself that sentiment has nothing to do with you. It must be because he won the fight. Yeah, it has to be that. It needs to be that.

[tenn-o-s]

For the Warframe ask game, if you want - 5, 9, 12, 16, and 36?

Whew oky

5. Favorite NPC?

Tough one first okay ... As much as Varzia stole my heart my love for catty relay gays goes out to Baro Ki'teer... I think he's so funny... Niles Frasier type guy(←has not seen Frasier). I also love him being a little dork for Inaros... I am fully subscribing to the idea he was just hanging out in the void during TNW in a bathrobe n eating chocolates n hugging his Inaros Deluxe body pillow while texting Varzia.

9. What’s your favorite Operator accessory?

Norg mask EZ

I'm honestly a fan of the Glassmaker Nightwave stuff, the Cogna stuff looks super cool and since I'm a Gara fan it works well with my general theme vibe for my fave frame. I also like the hair thing that looks like my real hair, the way it gets textured with the Catena Prime Ephemera is so cool.

12. Who is your favorite Cephalon?

Another Toughie... I like Cy alot I think he's like a funky Grandpa who likes memes but Sark is funnier to me. Cephalon Sark is annoying as fuckin hell but the fishing analogies make me think of taking him out in a boat in the Plains and putting a archetypal "I am a fisherman" bucket hat on his Hard-Light body and trying to have a calm fishing moment while he makes so much noise that the Norgs all run away.

16. What is your Railjack named?

V. E 123456716884563181234 Kuria I think.

I looked it up and apparently like 'H.M.S.' and 'S.S.' prefixes for boats Denotes the type of propulsion, so it's Void Engine: ETC. The number sequence is because that's my favorite number sequence(and I have it fully memorized -- cuz it's funny to have that committed to memory) and the Kurai comes from the fact that specifically grinded out finding all the Kurias in the game for the Glyph because it matches well with the Tempestarii skin with my adjusted Mulciber Pallet that I use for all my Crew, Ship, Orbiter, Landing Craft, Mech, K Drive, Heavy, and Archwing+ weapons.

36. Who is your comfort Warframe?

Augh... Okay... Either my Ostron Zamairu Glassmaker Gara Prime for her just insane duration + reave that makes her infinity glass scaling so satisfying in survival/duration missions or... My Ostron Zephyr Prime for her super high mobility build that makes the movement system in Warframe my bitch. I need to adjust the latter with some of the new mods tho because alot of them lean into the playstyle quite well.

Thanks for the asks!

Whumpster-Fire Watches His Dark Materials: S01E07

The Iorek vs. Iofur fight has no armor. Sigh...

Okay I would be inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt here that this was another “We tried it, it didn’t work” thing because animating how the armor moves on their bodies and deforms when hit to the level of detail and quality this show has seems like it could be incredibly difficult, and surely nobody would actually be stupid enough to depict a culture literally called Armored Bears taking off their armor for a ceremonial duel to determine the kingship.

But apparently no, they did this on purpose.

God damnit. You know, I should’ve expected that given the creative team’s apparent failure to understand how important daemons are to humans that they’d also fail to understand how important armor is to bears, but Jesus Christ.

Rant/analysis under the cut.

We wanted him to be as animalistic as they are, that part of their nature. They’re warriors, and you can imagine Vikings or Samoan warriors or Maori warriors. In a fight to the death, you would imagine it being man-on-man and you would have little protection and very little weapons. That’s just the way they fight and settle disputes like this. The fact that they fight without the armor, to me, means the sheer size of Iofur means more than him with the armor on. It just makes him more powerful as a king to make that choice, and for Iorek to have to obey those orders. I think it’s a very, very awesome thing to do. It shows that they’re more animal than I think most people anticipate, and the more bear we can get out of them, the better it is.

THAT IS NOT HOW PANSERBJORNE WORK. I’m sorry Joe Tandberg, I know you’re the expert on the TV show version of this character since you play, but like... this is such a bad take.

First of all, taking your armor off to fight a duel is a very human thing to do (and not universal in human culture either - I’m pretty sure there were armored duels in medieval and renaissance Europe. Panserbjorne have their animalistic aspects yes, but their relationship with their armor is Not. One. Of Them. A Panserbjorne’s armor isn’t just a tool, it’s their soul, it is a fundamental part of their identity. Like, Iorek being stripped of his armor was symbolically stripping him not just of status and rank but also of “personhood” in bear culture, a part of making him no longer a bear in the eyes of the law and to be killed on sight if he returned to Svalbard. It’s not a religious thing that a duel of such importance should be fought without armor, it’s a religious thing that it must be fought in armor, because how could the outcome of the duel be seen as respectable and legitimate if the combatants were not fighting as themselves? Panserbjorne aren’t Vikings or Samoans or Maori, and they’re not just polar bears who happen to wear armor for protection either. A bear fighting without his armor is not a true warrior.

Second of all, removing the armor took away a MASSIVE symbolic and thematic aspect of this fight. The threat to Iorek and his apparent vulnerability was portrayed just fine in the novel. Here, let me show you:

Beside her, the smiths were making the final adjustments to Iofur Raknison’s armor. He reared like a great metal tower, shining in polished steel, the smooth plates inlaid with wires of gold; his helmet enclosed the upper part of his head in a glistening carapce of silver-gray, with deep eye slits; and the underside of his body was protected by a close-fitting sark of chain mail. It was when she saw this that Lyra realized she had betrayed Iorek Byrnison, for Iorek had nothing like it. His armor protected only his back and sides. She looked at Iofur Raknison, so sleek and powerful, and felt a deep sickness in her, like guilt and fear combined.

...

Lyra looked at the two of them, so utterly different: Iofur so glossy and powerful... splendidly armored, proud and kinglike; and Iorek smaller, his armor rusty and dented.But his armor was his soul. He had made it and it fitted him. They were one. Iofur was not content with his armor.

...

Iofur’s armor was in a pitiful state by this time, the plates torn and distorted, the gold inlay torn out or smeared thickly with blood, and his helmet gone altogether. Iorek’s was in much better condition, for all its ugliness: dented, but intact...

In the setup to the fight it’s made clear that Iofur has better armor. It’s more protective, it’s in better condition, it’s meticulously checked and examined by a team of smiths, it’s more kingly, to Lyra’s human perspective. And Iorek just shows up in his armor that he made in a cave from a box of scraps, and it’s beat up from all the fights he’s been in with it and has a patina of rust and certainly doesn’t look pretty.

But then, when they actually fight, Iofur’s fancy armor falls apart, and sometimes even gets in his way as it’s damaged, because just like Iofur himself it’s all looks and frills. And this isn’t just a fight, this is a clash of ideology. As Iorek himself says: “Iron is bear-metal. Gold is not.” This fight is Iofur’s desire to be something he’s not, his imitation of humans, pitted against Iorek’s certainty in what he is, and in the importance and power of the values and traditions of his culture. The armor is just as important as the tactics (which were also thrown out by the adaptation in favor of Muh Power Of Friendship) in symbolizing this. Iorek’s armor prevails, and Iorek himself prevails, because he has not lost touch with what it means to be an Armored Bear.

But I guess they decided to just throw out all that meaning because, uhh, they wanted the bears to be more bear-ish or something. (while wussing the fuck out on showing Iorek bitch-slapping Iofur’s jaw off his helmetless head (helmetless because his armor doesn’t fucking work), tearing his throat out, and eating his heart to claim his victory).

a/n: I just listened to “Blueming” by IU for the first time and I’m shook that I just found this song. I love it so much and love the metaphors in the song that I had to write a fic inspired by it so here ya go

~

You stared at your phone typing and deleting and retyping a message to Wooseok. You just didn’t know what to say without being too obvious. 

- whats up?

And of course, you always ended up saying the same thing, hoping the true meaning behind your words was conveyed. If you really had the confidence to say what you felt, you’d tell him you missed him. 

- not much, you busy today?

You stared at the gray text bubble. ‘No, I’m not busy’ ‘I’m always waiting for your texts’ ‘I want to see you’. All of these things you wanted to say to him but you couldn’t bring yourself to be so forward.

- nah I'm not that busy

- ah cool, lets get something to eat

Your heart swelled. He wanted to go out with you and you didn’t even have to initiate it. Maybe he liked you too.

~

You spent the entire time before meeting up with Wooseok texting him. The blue and gray bubbles flashed on your phone screen at lightning speeds. Inside jokes and funny stories being passed between the two of you. You always felt a connection between you and Wooseok, a sark of some kind. Like something in you was blooming. This euphoric feeling of having a crush pushed you to type out a message. Your fingers moved on their own like they had their own mind. As you read over the text, you knew you couldn’t send it. What if he didn’t like you back? It would make things awkward and you didn’t want to ruin what you had. You turned off your phone and shoved it into your pocket. 

As you were about to leave your home, Wooseok sent you a text saying he was on his way to the restaurant where you were meeting. Your finger hesitated as it hovered over the send key, your heartfelt message still typed out and yearning to be sent. Against your better judgment, you pressed send and quickly shoved your phone in your pocket, too scared to see his reply. 

You made your way to the restaurant, which was by your house luckily. You checked your phone frequently, the lack of a gray bubble worrying you. You waited for a response for what felt like hours. The silence was eating you alive. 

You finally arrived at the restaurant, Wooseok nowhere to be seen. You heard your name being called and you turned around, Wooseok just arriving as well. There was an obvious awkward air between the two of you. You tried to pay it no mind.

“Hey, Wooseok-”

“I like you too.”

His sudden confession surprised you. You really weren’t expecting him to just confess right when you saw him. You regained your composure and quietly responded to him.

“Really? You do?”

“Yeah,” he sheepishly said, “I just didn’t know how to tell you.”

“I didn’t either,” you admitted

You stood outside the restaurant, neither of you knowing what to say now. You shyly smiled a blush on both of your faces. You felt a large hand grab yours and interlocked fingers with you.

“Lets go eat,” Wooseok smiled

You nodded and followed him into the restaurant, your hand shill in his.

Falling for the Opera Cape

the dying Timelady (OC) x Third Doctor Fanfiction. The third Story of the Soul bond Saga

Summary: Catherin landed on Earth, meeting the third Incarnation of the Doctor, ready to make a soulbond with him, after managed to get her Bond with the second Doctor. Arriving his Lab, Catherin realize, that the Doctor has something on his mind: That involved her, him and something tempting~ But someone has other plans with the dying Timelady....And not only her life is threated.....

Part 1

“That’s shouldn’t happen.”, the Doctor mumbled to himself. He held the dematerialization circuit in his hand, while looking at the console of the TARDIS. Another failure. Another day waisted and another day he would be stranded here. The Doctor sigh, rubbing his neck and putting the circuit on the Time Column. Now he needed a break. A cup of tea and some biscuits would be great right now. He wanted to turn around, to leave the TARDIS, as small arms wrapped around him and someone hugged him from behind. The Doctor frowned. He didn’t hear someone coming in. Then he smiled. “Jo? Did you work on your sneaking skills? They´re are pretty good now. You should be proud of yourself.” The Doctor didn’t get an answer, as the hands starts moving over his chest, softly open a button of his sark. Now he froze, starring at the hands. That aren’t Jos. Jo wouldn’t do something like that. And that hands didn’t even had many rings on their fingers, like Jos did. “Stop it now, Please. Whoever you are. This is improper! A lady shouldn’t undress someone like that!”, he said with calm, but firmer voice. The hands didn’t stop by his words and open another button. The Doctor grabbed the hands. “It’s time over now, young Lady. We will-“, he turned around and stared at the Lady Infront of him. “Catherin!”, he started to grin and holding her hands in his. “What are you doing here? And why do you undress me?”, he asked her sceptical. Catherin giggled softly, holding his hands tight in hers and gave him a beautiful smile. Oh, this Woman owns his hearts for a couple of centuries. Adventures with her was always very fun. He wondered why she didn’t visit him for a while. Here on Earth, he felt how time passes and sometimes it was just unbearable. In this moment, he was happy to see his beloved Catherin, ready to take her out for dinner. Finally, some distraction and quality time he could spend. “I wanted to greet you a bit differently today. I hope, I didn’t shock you too much.”, she grinned cheeky at him, winking. “Taking off my clothes is a greeting for you? Maybe I should greet you like that too”, he grinned back, as her face turned red. “Y-You wouldn’t do that, right? You are a gentleman!”, she shouted, blushed even more. The Doctor laughs and put his hand on her back, leading her out of the TARDIS. “Of course, I wouldn’t do that. You should know me better. So, tell me why are you here? Not that I wouldn’t enjoy your company my dear. Maybe we should go out and eat some dinner? I know a nice restaurant, where we could eat in peace.”, he smiled at her, while leading her out of this lab. “Where is Jo?”, wasn’t the answer he wanted from her. The Doctor looked at Catherin, while they leaving the building. “She has her free day. So, she isn’t here.” “What a pity. I wanted to see her.”, Catherin mumbled, looking a bit sad. Catherin adores Jo very much. She was like a daughter for her, even she wouldn’t tell her that. The Doctor had a short thought about Jamie. She really loved Jamie. She saw him as her son and protected him always. The Doctor wondered, how many future companions will have this privilege to be called a son or a daughter of Catherin. “You will see her soon Darling”, he smiled at her, walking with her to Bessie. When both sit down in the car, the Doctor started the motor and drove off the UNIT- Area to the next city.

 Darling

I never thought, he would give me instead such a sweet nickname. While the Doctor and I drove around the city, searching for a nice restaurant, I disappeared deep in my thoughts, thinking how I could tell the Doctor, that I wanted a soul bond with him, in the best way.

I learned fast from the last time, that such a question could make a lot of trouble, if you ask it in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I didn’t realize, that we already stopped, as I felt a hand on my arm.

“Catherin? Is everything okay?”

“Oh yes Doctor, everything is fine”, I smiled at him.

He gave me a charming smile, what made my legs becoming pudding. I was melting already. Suddenly I blushed, only by the thought, laying in his arms, while dancing to beautiful music, staying so close to him. He smelled so good and his velvet suit looked so good at him.

The Doctor kept smiling, as I notice, that I stared at him.

“You are really cute Darling”, he said softly in his rough voice.

I was so done. Nobody could save me from this gorgeous man. And I didn’t want to be saved!

Like the gentlemen he is, he helped me out of the car, holding my hand, so I wouldn’t slip. When I felt ground under my feet, he still holds my hand, making no effort to letting it go.

We walked into the restaurant, still holding hands, my inside screaming of excitement because of it, looking at the waiter and smiling.

“Hello, can we please have a table for two in a quiet area? I want to be alone with my beautiful date”, the Doctor said smiling.

You know this cartoons, where one character is all silent outside, but inside they start to scream and run around in panic/unbelieve, because the one person they like, is like… all flirty and great and it´s just fucks their head so much up, because they never expected that would ever happened?

This was me right now.

I was staring at the Doctor, letting him leading us to our table, sitting opposite to him and taking the menu in my hand.

It was a very fancy restaurant. The tables were out of very dark wood, the seats with bolster, out of dark red fabric. We were sitting in the near of a big window, with dark blue curtains. Suddenly, a big curtain was pulled around us and we sat alone, isolated from the rest of the restaurant.

In a second, I looked up to the Doctor, who had his arms on the table, resting his head on his hand and watching me carefully.

I felt the warmth rising in my cheeks, knowing that I blushed, because of the bigger smile on the Doctors face.

“You are so beautiful”, he whispered, taking my hand in his, softly kissing it.

Did I told you, that I was done? Now I was it. In the best ways. He locked me with his charm and now I couldn’t escape.

“Do you have money?”, I asked him, trying to distract myself.

“The Brigadier told me to send the bill to the office of UNIT. He said, I could have a certain mount of money for a month, because he knows, that I never have money with me.”, he nodded, leaning back to watch me more, smiling softly.

I nodded too, smiling lightly. Then I study the menu, decided for some Pasta with Pesto. I loved the Italian food very much. It was one of my favourites of this beautiful planet. The Timelord never had any taste for good food.

They never have any good taste of anything.

I was talking with the Doctor for a while. We laughed and telling us stories. Because he couldn’t travel everywhere, he was desperate for hearing what kind of Adventure I had. Fighting against Daleks, running away from Cybermen. Landing on unknown planets.

As our food arrived, we started to eat, having a relaxing silent around us.

The Doctor was drinking wine, what made him look more like a real dandy. I sigh softly, watching him and blushing, as he smiled back to me.

“You like the outfit?”, he asked, while putting his wineglass on the table.

“Yes, very much. That velvet suits are just wonderful on you. I love the dandy-look very much.”

“I knew it. Better as looking like a hobo”, he marbled, finish his plate.

For me, it was a mystery, how the Doctor would despite his previous Incarnation.

“Don’t be mean to him. I just visit him, before landing here. He has his own style and looks very cute in it.”

“Ha! Cute! He is such a pain in my back. I really hope, the Timelords not putting us together again. I can´t stand him.”, the Doctor waved with his hand and looking away for a moment, but then smiling again at me, leaning forwards.

“So, I have to ask you something. Would you like to make to soul bond with me?

I couldn’t say anything as he said that words out loud.

It was unbelieving for me. I had such a hard time talking to the last two Incarnations of him, trying to make a soul bond with them, having so much trouble because of it. And now he was sitting Infront of me, asking me, If I want to have a soul bond with him.

With an open mouth, I stared at him, then close it and shook my head.

“No?”, he whispered and looking all sad for a moment.

“I-I mean… I know it´s a lot of to ask. You know by yourself, how much work this soul bond is. But I really believe, that we should be together. I believe that the other two would say yes in two heartbeats. I mean, who could say No to you?”, he grinned softly.

“You. You said No twice, as I asked you for a soul bond, even telling you, that I married your future Incarnation Number 12, showing you the ring. It was such hard work to get a yes of you, making you realize, that we are made for each other in the moment, when we hold hands for the first time, when we were in the academy, as the sunset making the orange sky even more orange. And our first kiss. Oh Doctor. You said No, it broke my heart even more. But I already started to make a bond with you, so yes. I would love to bond with you”

Now it was the Doctor who´s mouth was wide open, staring at me while I was talking.    

“Is that true? This hobo said No to you? How he dare! I can´t believe it!”, he growls, making his hands to fists.

Typical Doctor. Clearly, he tried to give the second Incarnation all the fault, even when the first one, was the hardest and the most to blame. I forgot the time, when I was fighting for a soul bond with the first Doctor, don’t trying to make myself sad. Even now I have the soul bond with the original Doctor, sometimes the sadness and the memories floating my head, making my chest heavier. It was hard to breath in such moments. My Anxiety got really bad, so I usually hide in my own TARDIS, waiting until the panic disappeared for itself.

“No… Don’t blame him. It´s okay now. I have the soul bond. That all I need.”, softly smiling, I showed him my wedding ring, what had 14 small squares engraved in the white metal. Two of the squares had a different colour. One of them was a light grey, the other one black.

“What is the meaning of the colours, Darling?”, he asked me, while holding my hand softly, admiring the beauty of the ring.

“Each colour represents one of your Incarnation. The grey one is the first and black is the second.”

“Why did you choose these colours?”

“Grey for his trousers and Black for his hair. Obviously!”, I laughed, looking amused at him.

The Doctor made a sceptical face, raising his eyebrow. But then he grins at me, giving my ring a soft kiss and winked at me.

“I wonder, what kind of colour I will get.”, the Doctor spoke softly at my hand, not letting it go.

“This will be my secret”, I smiled mysteriously, holding his hand tight.

After the dinner, we both drove back to the UNIT-Area, entering the lab of the Doctor. I walked to his TARDIS, softly touching it with my hand.

“Hey my friend. Long-time no seen. I missed you.”, I said to the TARDIS, leaning my ear against her walls.

No sound.

She was sleeping.

“I really hope, I will fix her soon.”, the Doctor repined, putting his Opera cape over his chair.

I turned around and looked at the cape, while my thoughts driven away again.

He will, he will soon fix the TARDIS. But I couldn’t tell him. It was not allowed, so I was silent and touched the fabric, rubbing it between my fingers.

I loved this cape. It was such a charming part of his style. It made his outfit complete.

I felt his muscular chest against my back, his hands resting on my hips.

“You like the cape, hm? It´s a lovely piece of clothes, don’t you think?”

His voice was rough in the near of my ear. His hands moving around my hips, going up to my waist.

I was wearing a dark blue dress, with small straps. The heat of his skin pervades through the dress, letting it felt on my own.

His lips were close to my neck, I felt his hot breath, what gave me Goosebumps.

“You know what´s lovely too tonight Darling?”, he whispers in my ear, his hand moved over my back.

I was about to turn around to him, wanting to kiss him so badly, when I heard a “click”.

The moment I turned around to him, I felt how my strapless bra was falling under my dress, landing on the ground.

The Doctor bowed down quickly, grabbing it with a cheeky smile on his face.

“Well, Hello Catherin”, he greeted me. “I still think, a Lady shouldn’t just strip people like that for a greeting.”, he told me, waving my bra Infront of me.

“Doctor!!”, I shouted. I couldn’t believe it! How he dares! I tramped towards him, trying to take away my bra from him.

He laughed, holding it up, so I couldn’t reach it. Why does this incarnation had to be almost 6 feet tall? It was so much better, when the Doctor had my height.

“Come on Doctor! That’s not funny!”, I said annoyed, going on my toes to grab my bra. “And not very gentleman-like! Shame on you!”

He laughed, stepping back, so I was falling against his chest.

I blushed immediately, when my soft chest falls against his hard chest.

The Doctor himself stopped, staring down at me. Now he pressed his hand on my back, pulling me closer to him, pressing my chest more at his.

“Doctor”, I mumbled. What a sensual feeling filled my body. My heart beats faster, I felt his two heartbeats almost losing they rhythm. The Doctor let go of my bra, careless throwing it away and then kissed me.

It was a soft and deep kiss, filling my mind with nothing, but just him. The Doctor picked me up, sitting me on his lab table and strokes my hips, without stopping the kiss.

My fingers running through his silver, fluffy hair, what I adored so much. I grabbed his collar, pulling him closer as possible. I never wanted this feeling to end.

“Doctor?”, Jo´s voice filled my head in a few blinks. Everything was forgotten. The sensual feeling, the kiss, everything.

I jumped from the table, pushing the Doctor aside.

With a highspeed, I grabbed my bra, open the TARDIS door and throw it inside, smashing the door shut.

I ran my hands through my hair, over my dress, making it look like, I just came from a nice date.

In the same second, as Jo open the door, I was smiling at her brightly, walking towards her.

“Jo!”, I grinned at her.

“Catherin!”, she shouted surprised and happy, hugging me tightly.

I hold her closer to me, resisting to stroke her head and cuddled her for a few seconds. I was sad, when I had to let go of her, but I didn’t want to bother her with my parentally behaviour.

She shouldn’t know, that she was such a sweet girl to me. Like a daughter.

Unlike Jamie, I just couldn’t call her my daughter so easily. Jamie was a young boy; Jo was a young adult.

Would I call her “my daughter” in any case, she would easily get scared or irritated from me. The worst case in my mind was, that she would say something like:

“I already have a mother. Why should I call you like that? That is so weird! Please leave me alone!”

I knew it. So, it must stay a secret and all my feelings would be locked up, deep inside a dark corner of my heart, never to be revealed.  

The Doctor came closer, smiling at both of us. His eyes didn’t have a spark of anger or disappointed in it, because I broke our kiss so sudden.

We talked with Jo for a while, then she invited me into her house.

I looked up to the Doctor, who nod softly.

“I would love to! Give a minute okay?”, I said to her.

“Alright!”, she grinned, leaving the lab.

I turned to the Doctor, who gave me a quick and softly kiss on my lips. Then kissed my forehead and gave me a warm hug. He knew what was in my mind right now.

“What should I do? I love her so much. She means so much for me. I don’t know, If I really can hold my secret.”, I whispered in his suit, shivering.

“Everything will turn out fine. I know it. Don’t worry. Enjoy your night with her. Forget the sad things. Come back tomorrow with her and we will find something, what will distract you.”, he said softly, giving me a lovely smile.

I kissed him again, looking softly at him.

“We will talk about the bond tomorrow, okay?”, I asked.

“That’s fine for me.”, he nodded again, giving my cheek another kiss, before letting me go.

When I came out of the building, Jo was waiting for me next to a big car.

Her parents are rich. I couldn’t give her such nice presents.

I shook my head, smiling while walking to Jo. She took my hand and got inside of the big car, who naturally had a driver.

We were laughing and talking, while I wanted to hold her in my arms, what was killing my soul, burning deep in my flesh.

In such moments like that, I felt my age in my weak body. I felt the pressure. I looked out of the window, darkness around us, not noticing, that a faint, green string was wrapped around my little finger, that nobody but I could see.  

My Soulmate was close. Too close for this Timing.

I think I might start watching bf5 so can you tell me why I should watch it

bro you’re going to get a giant block of text because hot wheels battle force 5 is a series that is really near and dear to my heart.

ok first off the plot is kinda simple but it’s really fun: it’s a group of six teens that have to drive cars real fast and battle some aliens. the second season gets more complicated but its. fun.

the aliens are called the sark (robots led by a tyrant), and the vandals (tribal dictatorship). there’s never any doubt about them being evil—not only are they conquerors that have destroyed worlds, the vandals practice slavery (which is a minor spoiler) and the sark are led by zemerik who is. just a fucking asshole. however, the show plays with this tradition model of heroes vs villains a lot in s2: zemerik Because Of Reasons ends up on the heroes’s side. this does not mean they trust him. they have to help kallus (the leader of the vandals), too, but they know for a fact the second there isn’t a greater evil to unite against, they’re back to throwing fists. 

there’s another race of aliens called the sentients which are like. gods. they created the universe and all the battle zones—this is the place where our heroes fight/race the bad guys. also ps battlezones are some of the COOLEST concepts we get out of this show. they’re usually unique in design but there are reasons our heroes sometimes revisit them that makes narrative sense. battlezones are unlocked by battlekeys, and getting the battle key is pretty much the premise for every episode in s1, except for a couple near the end that build into the main conflict of s2. anyways, back the sentients. they’re dicks. i don’t trust them. they also have slaves but it’s like. lowkey slavery? it’s. yeah. also, they are 2 kinds of sentients: the blue ones and the red ones. the red ones you THINK are dicks but then u find out the blue ones. weren’t that nice either. so it’s. spicy. sentients also had like. a couple of civil wars.

anyways, let’s talk about our main heroes!

there’s vert wheeler

he’s kind of a dork and you can tell he’s probably like. 18. he’s the leader and he’s kinda arrogant but he always manages to keep his team together. he makes bad jokes sometimes and you can argue he’s a little op but honestly? as skilled as he is he clearly needs a team at his back. i stan him so hard. he drives the saber which is a car with a chainsaw on it. a chainsaw.

vert’s second is command is agura ibaden, this beautiful lady:

she made me into a lesbian. she doubts herself sometimes and gets a couple of episodes about learning to be in control and eventually she’s a great leader in her own right. she drives the tangler which is a beast of a vehicle and she’s good at planning and hitting the enemy in ways they don’t expect. i love her so much.

next up we have the cortez brothers, spinner and sherman.

they’re latino but it’s implied they’re mexican because spinner’s gamer name references a specific city in mexico. also, side note, bf5 was ridiculously popular in mexico. like. reruns every other hour. it was the life. but anyways, they’re the technical brains of the team. spinner is good with computers and sherman is an engineering genius. although they’re both the tech support, i love that they have different skills!! they love each other very much but they also get on each other’s nerves. in one episode they dare each other to eat increasingly gross things it’s hilarious and they’re peak sibling culture. also sherman is big and still the brains! there are however a couple food jokes about him which is :( but they’re not like. his entire characterization! he’s complex and i love him. they drive the buster which is. basically a tank. 

anyways, next up is zoom takazumi, resident ninja

alkjd actually he’s a mixed martial arts fighter! he’s the youngest and i would protect him with my LIFE. also i don’t have the episode on hand right this moment but he’s south asian! yay diversity. he gets flak for being the baby of the team but he really finds himself and he’s an awesome scout. also i love alessandro juliani, his VA so. stan him. he drives the chopper which is a bike that becomes a helicopter. i don’t make it sound very cool but it IS.

we also have stanford isaac rhodes 

he’s our moron representation. he’s vain, self obsessed, and thinks he should be in charge (the villains literally. know him as “the vain one” it’s hilarious). if the writing for this show were weaker, i’d hate him. however! he learns to not be such a dick. he becomes ride or die for his friends. as much as he thinks he should be in charge and clashes with agura, he learns to be better! i appreciate this dumbass white boy. he drives the reverb which has guns. a car. with sonic guns. this show goes ridiculously hard.

in s2 we get two more characters, tezz and aj. 

tezz volitov is like stanford, but ridiculously smart. he strands himself on an alien mood at the age of NINE, and spends the next 9 years alone. it’s kinda sad. it takes him a while, but he eventually learns how to be a good teammate and i love him so much. he’s also russian, i think, but he’s. probably not white? it’s complicated. this is an issue i got with the show but i’ll tack it onto them wanting to be diverse whilst being white people. tezz drives the splitwire which i. legit want. it’s so fucking COOL.

finally, we have aj who i dont have a gif for, i just realized. he’s white n blonde, tho so. just imagine that. he doesn’t have too big of a role in the series, but he’s vert’s friend so i trust him and also the times he does show up he doesn’t steal the spotlight or anything, which i respect. they knew he was a bland white guy and they committed to that.

but yeah the characters are really interesting. also, the animation? is god tier for a show from 2010 that had the graveyard time slot. there are so many little details and the SCORING IS TO DIE FOR, also the way they color skin tones? is something you rarely see in 3D cartoons. they understood that dark skin in different lighting doesn’t react the same as white skin. there is no moment in the show where you can’t see the difference in the skin tone of the characters. it’s amazing and i love it so much.

a couple of details from the animation bc i love it

but yeah! this show is very colorful and what i call “lovingly animated”

another great things about it are. the jokes. the way they write dialogue is literally. to die for:

“bro, what would you do without me?” “live to see my next birthday”

“who wants to help me destroy a pack of killer robots?”

“a great warrior has fallen. an ally, an enemy, but, mostly a dismal failure, and a loser”

“believe it or not, i’m too exhausted to humiliate you”

“you’re risking our lives based on artwork made of STICK FIGURES?”

“if a 50ft statue of one of us showed up in a battlezone, what would we do?” “i’d blog about it” “no one reads your blog”

“the brains of this operation?” “he’s the left hemisphere. i’m the right”

some of them have visual elements which i love in jokes!!

but yeah. this is long enough i guess.

to sum up:

diverse cast

great animation

great music

solid plot

solid writing

funny joaks

some AMAZING foreshadowing 

the webisodes are funny and cute

the theme song SLAPS

WORDBUILDING TO DIE FOR

there’s so much i’m leaving out because this show is SO MUCH AND SO GOOD but yeah. i made some gifs if you want to see the flavor of this show

there’s no romance like. at all. the focus is solely on the action and i love it

however, i am known for being a salty little bitch so issues™

could have used more women

there are a couple of jokes which are kinda cheesy

the diversity is the kind written by white people so take that as you will. also it’s a show that’s like. as good as white people can write. nothing super revolutionary.

it doesn’t entirely have. a solid ending. it has a tv movie that wraps it up but 1. it’s in spanish (yours truly wrote a translation) 2. it includes a cliffhanger which was. unnecessary. it’s more that they wanted to leave the door open for more but. didn’t make it. however! all the main conflicts get resolved so it’s not too a big issue

there’s probably more stuff but honestly? it’s a solid kids show. flaws n strengths. i love it

#can we ask for a recipe? it looks so tasty (via @elen42564)

Sure!

120g of unbleached flour (1 cup ish though honestly it's probably slightly more or it's packed down maybe, it always seems like more when I compare on my scale)

2 teaspoons of baking powder (I added a little smidge more because they weren't rising the way I wanted)

1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt (you'll have to figure out your to-taste)

113g unsalted butter COLD (1 stick in the US)

227g of sourdough starter DISCARD (it's important it's the discarded starter before it's fed, not fed/active starter) (I think this is also about 1 cup?)

OPTIONAL: shredded cheese

I'll put the rest under a cut

You'll need a mixing bowl, a pastry masher thing, a baking sheet, and some parchment paper (or similar). These will turn out better if you weigh the ingredients. You'll also want an oven-safe bowl or pan you can put water in. It's easier if you have a cookie cutter/biscuit cutter, BUT you can just hand mold them.

Preheat oven to 425F, move your oven rack closer to the top than the bottom

Blend dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt)

Add the cold butter in. Mash it together with a pastry masher thing (what are those even called, they look like brass knuckles but it's curved blades?) until you've got small lumps of butter, doesn't need to be fully blended and the lumps can be different sizes.

Stir in the starter discard until it's all a mixed dough, it's okay if it's a bit clingy still.

If you want to add cheese, you can add shredded cheese here. idk how much I put in, you measure cheese with your heart so just mix a handful or two in. I used thickly-shredded cheddar.

Lightly flour a flat surface and transfer the dough to it. It's easier if you kind of flour the whole outside lightly. Shape it so it's about an inch tall all over.

Using 2.5 inch cookie cutter, start cutting rounds... the dough is REALLY STICKY so I found it makes it easier if I flour the interior of the cutter between cuts. Reform the main dough gently as needed. It should make 6 biscuits or so. You can hand-form balls, but don't use a glass. I thought I could get away with using a glass, and that made them so short, which dried them out. They will flatten out more if you hand form them than if you cutter them, but if you cutter them you still have to kind of pat around the outside or they bake into a weird tower.

Parchment paper on the baking sheet (or grease it), biscuit rounds on the paper.

Put a bowl or pan of water on the lower rack or on the bottom of your oven. Put the baking sheet on the upper rack, and dump some water into the oven, then close the door as quick as possible to keep the steam in. It will vent out, but slower with the door closed and your bowl/pan will refresh it. Since it's a sourdough bake still, the hydration at the start of the bake is important. When I didn't do this, they turned out super dry and hard and it was Very Bad.

Bake for 20-22 minutes or so. I check at 20 and if they look good I stop because I don't like it even close to burnt.

Let them cool a few minutes before eating. They should be soft inside and have a sort of crunch to the outside.

Without cheese, they're great with honey or butter and honey. I ate them plain when there was cheese mixed in. They're fresh but they last a few days. Sark likes to make sausage/egg biscuits with them. It's a really good way to use up starter discard. Since it's a savory recipe, supposedly you can actually save discard up for a few days in the fridge, if your starter doesn't make enough discard in a single day but I haven't tried it.

well they're not pretty, but they are delicious. sourdough cheddar biscuits. I want to experiment with adding some bacon and/or ham to them next, and lowering the amount of salt.

My mom used to make these.... like... ham and cheese biscuit things and send them with us for lunches when I was a little kid, and they were so delicious. It was shredded cheese and little cubes of ham, like some kind of savory chocolate chip cookie except a biscuit and the chips were ham. I don't even like ham. But this was a good combo. self contained sandwich.

Campcounselor!Jj taking you on a picnic deep in the woods and fucking you on the picnic blanket !!!

🧸✧˖°❅👢

“so where’s this surprise you speak of?” you giggle giddily as you follow jj through the woods, the blonde walking ahead of you whacking bushes and branches out the way with a long stick.

“right theees way.” he announces in an accent you were certain he made up. he pulls a curtain of leaves out the way, allowing you to walk through a small entrance first. as your eyes adjust in the late afternoon light, you’re met with a beautiful sight. a checkered picnic blanket laid out on the grass by a small waterfall over some rocks, a small flowing stream passing by it. he’s messily strung up fairy lights over the trees surrounding, and placed mini faux candles around the blanket. jj walks in behind you with a humble smile, wiping his hands on his pants as you both admire his work.

“jayj! you did all this? this is so cute!” you whisper in awe, hands over your heart through the material of your sundress.

“yeah, well you know. you deserve it.” he shrugs, and you lurch over for a kiss.

the two of you enjoy the picnic you’d packed, laughing and telling stories as you eat until you’re full, staring up the birds flying over the tree tops, laying back. maybank rests two hands behind his head, and you lay your head delicately on his bicep, curled at his side.

“so you’re sure you didn’t bring me all the way out here to kill me like in those summer camp slasher movies?” you smile softly, looking up at his profile as he watches the birds.

“well, uh— can’t now, can i? you ruined the surprise… and anyway i forgot my mask.” he sarks and you laugh, his chest vibrating with a chuckle in tow. “speaking of which, dude — we’ve gone the whole summer and haven’t watched one of those shitty slashers? you know those movies are like, my specialty.”

“you know, now i’m your girlfriend you should probably stop calling me dude.” you grin lightheartedly, poking the end of his nose making him scrunch it up briefly.

“shit, yeah, no— you’re right…” he glances at you out the corner of his eye, lip twitching as he gears up for a punchline. “how’s dudette, instead?”

you burst out laughing, clammy hands clutching your tummy making him blow air out of his nose in surprise, brows furrowed as he smirks down at you. “damn, was the joke really that good?”

you grin, elated and push yourself up onto an elbow to look at him properly. when you do so, you feel your stomach go all fizzy inside like shaken pop, and you fight to not look away in shyness. “i happen to think you’re very funny.” you compliment modestly and he smiles, pushing himself up also on his elbow to mirror you.

“well i happen to think you’re very pretty. so i guess it evens out.” as he speaks, his voice gets quieter, eyes on your mouth until you meet in the middle, lips locking in a kiss. you pull back away from him slowly, giving him a look. his eyes flutter open in confusion.

“you don’t think i’m funny?” you grin with faux astonishment after a pause and he sniffs out a laugh, shaking his head and cupping your cheek.

“shutup.” he groans, before kissing you hard. it doesn’t take long for things to heat up, his hands roaming your body through your thin sundress, your own hands sliding over his tanned stomach beneath his blue t-shirt, hat long knocked off his head.

before you know it, after what feels like an hour of licking and sucking what was between your thighs— he’s sliding his dick into the mess he’s made, elbows braced either side of you as he starts to thrust.

“oh, ah — jj— feels — feel so—”

“iiiii know, cupcake. feels good, don’t it.” he drones, panting hot air into the skin above your tit.

“what if— what if someone hears?” you whine, knees bracketing his waist as he rocks you continuously against the blanket that was ruffled beneath you.

“no one’s gonna hear you all the way out here, baby. let ‘er rip, know you got some pretty noises in you.”

37. Have they ever killed anyone? Yeah there’s a war on shit happens.  38. What was their last promise and did they keep it? He promised his parents he’d look after his sister and so far she’s not dead so Sarkesh is doing a good job. 

LOVE -

39. What was their first kiss like, if they’ve had one? He had his first kiss as teenager and it was with a girl from school. It was probably bad looking back, all first kisses are bad but at the time Sarkesh was kinda over the moon. 40. Are they in a relationship/have a love interest? He’s had his fair share of relationships. He dated a few girls as teenager, a fellow solider when he joined the military but he ended up breaking it off with Sarkesh. 

41. Have they ever been in love? Yes he has. 

42. Have they ever had their heart broken? Hasn’t everyone?

SPIRITUALITY - 43. Do they follow a god, if so who? He follows Dol Dorn but doesn’t outwardly talk about his religion. He’s got other things on his mind. Worship isn’t one of them. 

44. What do they think happens to them after death? Sarkesh likes to believe there’s an after life but he’s not sure. He’ll let you know once he’s experienced it.  45. What is their spirit animal? A bear! Like a cute brown one. Good for hugs but also may rip your face off.

The ultimate London city guide

What to do in the king (or queen) of all capitals

You’d be forgiven for wondering where to start when it comes to a break in London. The city’s size, scale and layers of history mean the options can seem overwhelming. But combine a few famous sights with a sprinkle of lesser known gems and you’ll soon see why London is the city that everyone falls in love with. And why millions of people from around the world have made it their home.

  A short round-up of London’s must-see sights…

St Paul’s Cathedral: Sir Christopher Wren’s domed masterpiece, offering the best views over the city from the Golden Gallery, a gasp-inducing 528 steps up.

Tate Modern: The best international modern art showcased in a former power station on the Thames, with an awe-inspiring turbine hall.

National Gallery: Masterpiece follows masterpiece, set in Trafalgar Square and watched over by Nelson’s column – and several thousand pigeons.

Buckingham Palace: Look out for the flag – if it’s at full mast, the Queen’s at home.

Tower of London: The crown jewels, 1000 years of history and ravens all in one place.

Westminster Abbey: Visit the place where royalty are crowned, married and buried. Poet’s Corner is the final resting place of legendary writers from Chaucer to Dickens.

      … and some ideas to round off your trip

Magical markets

If you’re in the city at a weekend, make time for street markets. For independent arts and crafts, head to Spitalfields. Colombia Road Flower Market fills the street with blooms as far as the eye can see – get there early for the best picks. Portobello Road is the destination for antiques and to admire the pastel facades of the upmarket Notting Hill area. And Borough Market is a mecca for food and drink – including (probably) the best toasted cheese sandwich in the world.

  Parks and gardens

London isn’t short of green spaces. Historic Hyde Park sits proudly in the centre of the city, and is famously endorsed by the royals. But venture just over the Thames and Battersea Park is a hidden gem – with gardens, a boating lake and a children’s zoo. Just north of the centre, leafy Hampstead Heath has city views and swimming ponds that are open all year if you’re brave enough.

  Jaunts on the water

The beating heart of the city, the River Thames connects many of London’s best sights and you can easily base a day around its banks. After a ride on the London Eye, taking in Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, stroll along the scenic Southbank. Grab a coffee on a riverside terrace, or stop at a pop-up bar for a craft beer. Then hop onto a river bus for a cruise east, past the glass towers of Canary Wharf, to Greenwich – where you’ll find the Cutty Sark, the Royal Observatory, and… another palace.

      What – and where – to eat in London

For dinner with a view…

When you’re on the 31st floor of London’s tallest building, you’re guaranteed a vista. Aqua at the Shard doesn’t disappoint

For afternoon tea…

The city is your oyster for this most quintessential of English traditions – but for a quirky, one-of-a-kind experience try sketch

For a roast…

Britons take Sunday lunch very seriously. Head to a gastropub like The Harwood Arms for the best offerings

For fish and chips…

This is where your local chippy outshines most of the top offerings. Douse your chips in vinegar and lashings of ketchup

For international flavours…

Brixton Market is a must-visit for a true taste of the melting pot that is London. Hole-in-the-wall restaurants there are gaining serious reputations

For celebrity spotters…

The Chiltern Firehouse is a safe bet if you’ve got your eyes peeled for A-listers

      A haven in the heart of the city

The best boutique hotels in London to retreat to after a day in the thick of things.

THE AMPERSAND… unique interiors inspired by London’s most famous museums, including the V&A.

THE LALIT… Indian hospitality meets British tradition, with rich colours and a fusion spa.

THE FRANKLIN… Gatsby-era glamour round the corner from the luxury shopping of Knightsbridge.

VINTRY & MERCER… quirky luxury boasting an exclusive speakeasy bar and a roof terrace restaurant with skyline views.

DUKES LONDON… a sophisticated home-from-home, featuring the bar that inspired James Bond’s famous martini.

THE PRINCE AKATOKI… minimalist, clean décor with Japanese influences, and a fine selection of whiskies and sakes to indulge in after a day in town.

FLEMINGS MAYFAIR…a chic townhouse hotel in one of London’s most exclusive addresses.

ST. JAMES’S HOTEL & CLUB…a hidden gem conveniently placed for the best West End shopping and theatres.

THE CAPITAL HOTEL & APARTMENTS…enviably located just yards from Harrods and Harvey Nichols.

THE ACADEMY…straight from a Georgian period drama complete with library – the perfect spot for a craft gin cocktail.

So, I had the pleasure of attending the Once Upon a Time panel at Phoenix Comicon today.  Sean Maguire, Karen David, and David Anders.  I expected to be entertained.  I did not expect to almost ruin my makeup because they made me laugh so hard I cried.

Seriously, I cannot overstate how flipping funny these three were together.  And adorable and thoughtful and just...this was one of the best panels I have been to in a long time - which is saying a lot because I’ve been to some really good panels.

A few highlights Many highlights under the cut because OMG they were just so entertaining:

- Karen David trying to come up with a way not to spoil people in the audience who hadn’t seen the finale yet (the mod rightly pointed out that anyone going to a panel without having seen the finale of a show knows what they’re getting into.  Still, Karen was adorable about it.)

- David made a comment about Sean looking cooler with his bow and arrow than Stephen Amell and the audience all gasped.  David took mock offense because they were at a Once panel and not an Arrow one.  He then randomly dropped references to Stephen Amell for the rest of the panel.  So funny.

- Sean of course got asked about Robin’s death.  He said he was obviously disappointed about it, but emphasized that an actor’s job was to serve the greater story and that as a writer he understood that (didn’t know he was a writer so that was an interesting tidbit.)  He sounded more zen about the whole thing than the interviews I read at the time - understandably so.

- He then made joking references to Robin’s death off and on, including that if Robin had been in the musical episode the only thing he could have sung about was being in a box.  This led to David Anders singing a Robin Hood theme song.

- David Anders can sing. Both he and Karen sang during the panel.  Sean sort of halfheartedly sang at one point, but he deferred to the other two.  Karen serenaded us with a Galavant song. It was glorious.

- Karen and David would have loved to be in the musical episode, but Karen pointed out that the regular cast has a lot of talented people and they should take center stage over recurring characters.  Sean would not have wanted to be in the musical episode, but was happy it was well-received and that his castmates did well.

- Karen enjoys teasing Colin.  He apparently tried to get her to crack at various points and she took that as a challenge so now it’s a bit of a thing with them. (She apparently tweeted a picture of a ham to him at one point.)  Also, apparently someone tweeted “#pantydropper” to Colin once and it makes him turn red whenever it’s mentioned. So Karen makes sure to mention it.

- Oh, and in the finale scene where Hook calls Snow ‘mom’, the first few takes apparently Colin played it all over the top sexy just for laughs.

- David enjoyed working with Sean on the couple of scenes they had together.  He was impressed with Sean’s ability to cry (holding Peanut) and not break character even when dealing with cheesy lines.

- Sean finds that the more serious a scene is, the more he wants to joke around (which I so relate to).  He made a comment about that possibly being the reason he was let go.

- Karen was really excited to with Ginnifer Goodwin in her first episode.  She shared a care package her dad sent to her with Ginny.  And then gave little care packages, including tea, to her castmates a lot.  She stopped when she realized how expensive it was going to be.  She apologized to Sean because she stopped it before he came back.

- She talked about what a pro Lana is and how when she’s playing the Evil Queen she is totally into it.  But in the diner scene where the Evil Queen is force choking Jasmine, Karen made this really weird, loud choking noise that she broke character and apologized for.  Lana cracked up, and Karen said she had to be looking away in the rest of the takes so she wouldn’t laugh.

- When asked about props or stunts that were memorable, Karen said she absolutely loved the flying carpet stuff.  And working with Joanna.  She is totally in love with being a Disney princess; she referenced it a lot.  It was too cute.  Sean talked about riding the fake horse in the streets of “New York” and how ridiculous he looked and how the people watching the filming looked at him like he was nuts.  He also talked about how sometimes the arrows he used were CGI because “apparently the producers didn’t want him accidentally shooting his castmates.  Or the crew.  Or random citizens of Vancouver.”  David joked that the heart he used in his scenes was real, donated by someone named Doug who died and donated his organs to Once.

- They all love Eduardo and his costumes and what he did for their characters. Sean talked about how it helped him find the character.  Karen said Eduardo told her she’s be on a liquid diet to fit into her costume so she loved when wore the cape because she got to eat that day.  David loved the steampunk look to his costume.

- Someone asked what spinoff they’d like to do for any of the roles they played.  David said there had been talk of a Sark spinoff for Alias at one point.  Sean said he’d love to play the version of Ian Fleming he played in Timeless in a spinoff.  Karen just said she wanted more Galavant - maybe a movie or a musical.

- All three of them geek out whenever they get the chance to act with Robert Carlyle. They all think he’s amazing.

- David doesn’t know how to play anything but villains.

- David and Sean were fucking savage about Trump.  Sean did an impression of him that I’m pretty sure was the start of my tearing up from laughing, and when asked which real life hero or villain he would be he said he would be Trump so that he could shoot himself in the head.  Then at the end when they were asked who they’d take a magic carpet ride with, David said Trump so that he could push him off.  Sean said that David stole his answer verbatim and then looked out and said that they might as well do it right so he would take Pence on his carpet ride.

- Sean’s favorite thing to do besides acting is napping.  A highly underrated pastime. (Clearly a man with a small child.)  Karen likes going into the studio to make music, and is learning golf.  David agreed to help teach her.

- Karen is moving into Sean’s neighborhood.  Sean is helping her move.  Karen joked that she just wanted to see Sean in a tank top and then Sean talked about as actors how they’d all have the perfect “moving day” outfits and that if his clashed with Karen’s husband he’d have to go home and change.

- David moved recently as well into a “cooler” neighborhood and apparently someone wrote something about hipsters not being welcome in the neighborhood.  He left it up because it amused him and was actually kind of cool looking. He referenced Banksy in describing what it looked like.

- Sean liked doing Once Upon a Time in Wonderland because it let him develop his character a bit more.  And because getting two paychecks is always good.

- Now that I’m thinking about it, Karen did reference wanting to do a spinoff called “Once Upon a Time in Agrabah.”  She said she would take the magic carpet with Hook, and pick up Robin and Whale on the way because after spending the weekend with Sean and David she was bummed that she never got to have scenes with either of them.  (Seriously though, they seemed to have hit it off really well.  They were having a great time together and were really comfortable with each other.)

- A gentleman talked about how his wife had been battling cancer and Once was a godsend to her because it helped keep her mind off the pain of chemo and he was really grateful to the show for being so important to her.  Sean said something really lovely about how he thought he spoke for all the cast that being able to create something that was so meaningful to so many people and to hear stories like that was what made their jobs worthwhile.

- Karen talked about her parents and how inspirational they were to her.  They weren’t allowed more than $20 when they emigrated first to England and then to Canada.  Her dad framed the $20 to remind her and her sister of how important it was to work hard to achieve your goals and how supportive and awesome they were.

- She also talked about being bullied growing up and dealing with racism and how seeing Disney princesses like Jasmine and Mulan and Pocahontas helped her to recognize that those things she was being bullied for were what made her special.  When she was done talking, David leaned over and gave her a hug.

I’m sure there’s more stuff that I’m missing because the panel was pretty much an entire hour of amazing and I am so so glad I went.  Karen David is sunshine personified, Sean Maguire is witty and sweet and charming, and David Anders is so much funnier than I was expecting (and also had moments of sweetness.) I highly recommend attending any panel any of them do, separately or together.  But especially together because it was just truly delightful.  (And I am really bummed that I missed the chance to do the photo op with the three of them together now.  Alas.)
