Don’t think about Micheal Grant attending the Henren wedding, married to Athena with two kids, thinking he could never have the same thing for himself. Imagine if they had May be their flower girl, standing up at the alter with best man Chimney. Before the ceremony, Athena’s reminiscing on their wedding. They’ve been together for over decade. Harry is little, only 3 years old. May is beaming at Hen and Karen in their wedding outfits, holding her little bouquet. And Micheal feels like a fraud.

a fun thought experiment that i like to run in my mind is how long buck and eddie could go without ever talking about what the fuck is going on between them. personally i think it would be really funny if they don't say anything until after christopher has graduated high school - but at this point that's becoming worryingly realistic, so now i'm thinking about buck and eddie not getting together until after chris graduates college. or chris gets married. like can u imagine how annoying that would be for chris when his dad and his dad's 'friend' dance together at HIS wedding and finally admit they're in love with each other. after like 20 full years of dancing around it.

Jay and Nya got married off screen?

I will only accept it if Arin fanboys about it to Sora. “You don’t understand Sora, Jay and Nya’s wedding was the event of the century!”

Miaomiao and Ziqi post-canon sleep cuddles. Sketch commission from @crab-milk!

(This is actually for a fanfic I'm working on. There's a followup version of the sketch as well, but it's a spoiler, so you'll see it when I post the fic. In the meantime, enjoy this non-spoilery cuteness.)

theyre all too good jdjsjs but 1 and 3!

Which minutia did Gortash really contemplate so fervently that he found no more time for Durge? Was it just a front for the spring wedding planning to resume? It was the spring wedding wasn't it?

You fool. They're getting married in late fall, at least the way Gort wants it to happen. Strike hates winter and cold and in Gort's eyes that just means he will have his new husband be grumpy and needier and definitely in a more cuddly mood for months after the wedding.

But in all seriousness it was many plans that just don't involve Strike, mostly Bane or Zhentarim related, lots of inner circle type politics that can't be resolved with murder or plain intimidation. Strike and Gort don't meddle with eachother's cult's affairs so it's not actually rare that they spend weeks apart too busy with their own shit to be able to kiss much 😔

They do make up for it after, though! Gort usually has to call in a sick day when that happens.

Answered 3 here!

attempt to idly discuss concept of custom wedding vows with 🌸 ground to a halt after the realization that neither of us actually, like, wants to try to figure out what the fuck we'd be promising

can you do custom vows, but instead of vows to do stuff, it's just a list of the superbly good qualities of the other person in order to make it clear why any rational actor would agree that you should obviously plan to keep hanging out with them as long as possible

I would like to run over Lexa, resurrect her, kiss her better and run over her again.

She loved (loves) you for fuck sake, she told you that and you broke up with her?!

Listen.

I know she had reasons, and I know Clarke is not entirely innocent here (even though until now she's just a babe but I trust you), but I would be so furious if I was Clarke when Lexa will eventually confess her feelings.

Can you imagine feeling not enough for someone you love? To know to be not enough because even though you are indeed soulmates, the person you are sure to be THE one, broke up with you? And you know why, or maybe you think you do, but she's still rejected you.

I'm so mad.

I know Lexa comes from a place of survival instinct and pain, but I'm so furious.

SHE TOLD HER SHE LOVES HER.

SHE SHOWS YOU THAT.

I'm... I'm so sad for the both of them, but because I was once in Clarke shoes, it's so sad I want to hug her.

In most of the ff Lexa is the one portrait as tough and still fragile, strong and delicate, but to observe Clarke being put aside (I know they still keep seeing each other, and being cute to each other and loving but it's... Not... You know? Enough?).

And to marry someone that you know, you KNOW is not the one for you but you do it anyway because you gave up on your soulmate, you chose the second best option... I really wanna run over Lexa.

I want to hug her really tight and punch her with love until she understands.

And then I want to hug Clarke and push their faces together while I whisper "And now... Kith... AND STAY TOGETHER OR I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN."

Sorry.

My doctor would be a little bit disappointed about my heart rate right now.

I read this 3 times cackling 😭 (not the part about you, that im very sorry for and I'm sorry you can relate 😔 if you ever wanna send asks aboit Clarke's perspective you can! It help balance this out a bit because so far everything has been filtered through Lexa's pov)

Listen these are all valid things to feel. Lexa is very stupid in some ways, but those ways are indeed born out of insecurity and problems with accepting her self-worth.

I do want to point tho, just as a possible way to kind of... console the anger we all feel here, Clarke was not at all alone in how much she threw herself into this relationship. Lexa absolutely, 100%, just melted herself into Clarke. This 19 year old kid went from having no stability beyond her own work ethic, and no one who she felt cared about her, to having this sarcastic, mouthy, and genuinely weird little blonde lady who was very pretty and very much in love with her. And she did devote herself and her time and every ounce of her disgustingly robust affections to Clarke whenever they were together. Lexa forgot the world just to be near her, because that was obviously the only place she was meant to be.

But that was the problem.

Just how much she actually devoted herself and her time to Clarke became the problem. I mean it did more than that, there are other thoughts and emotions and insecurities at play that Lexa will word-vomit out eventually, bUT the crux of it all came down to her not having the emotional maturity to know how to balance a love that big, along with everything else.

But she never stopped loving Clarke. Not once. And while, no, she wasn't entirely truthful with Clarke or herself about what kind of love for years, and while it certainly wasn't "enough" (i know, for lack of a better word here), it was still incredibly palpable to anyone around her. It was tangible and demonstrative enough that it kept Clarke right there with her for almost a decade. It was intense enough and blatant enough that Costia gave up even trying to compete in under a year. There is just no questioning it when they're together. Everyone sees it pretty much immediately: Lexa is head over heels in love with that girl.

And that was the thing... Clarke saw it too. She felt it every single day.

She's just kinda stupid too 🥴

So I hear you, I do. Breathe lol. Check the pulse bby it's ok I promise. Just distract yourself with thoughts of them married with lil Griffin babies that Lexa cooks up herself simply because she loves Clarke that much

“I think”, said Wylan right after a kiss, “it is completely ineffective”.

“Are you sure?”, smiled Jesper in his lips, “Looks like we just had a very good exercise for tongue. Kind of a tongue twister”.

“Jes”, Wylan rolled his eyes, and Jesper would even believe that he was not happy if his smart fingers wasn’t unbuttoning Jesper’s shirt. “I was trying to learn here”.

“And we are learning some things together”, Jesper smiled putting his lips on Wylan’s neck.

“And all of them connected to zemini only because they involve one zemini man”, last words of the phrase sounded almost like Wylan was moaning them, and Jesper laughed in his neck.

Very sensitive neck on which Jesper left few hickeys at their previous lesson.

“I don’t understand why are you so dissatisfied. For a person who started to learn zemini like two months ago you have pretty big vocabulary”.

“And it all consist of things like “more”, “don’t stop”, “kiss me”, “keep going”, pet names, and all thоse things that are very inappropriate to say in public”, said Wylan, blushing.

Jesper laughed, and Wylan pocked him in the stomach.

“You are sabotaging my learning process”, said Wylan very seriously but his eyes was soft, and laughing, and full of love, and perfectly blue, and Jesper was down so bad, wasn’t he?

Jesper could admit that Wylan was right - he was a fast learner, and he remembered every zemini word Jesper taught him, it wasn’t Wylan’s fault that every their lesson in this two months ended up the same way. Or, thought Jesper, when Wylan kissed him again, it at least wasn’t fully Wylan’s fault.

“Maybe”, admitted Jesper, “you really need another tutor. More engaged in the learning process and not engaged to you”.

He maybe would say something else, like “I am sorry, I just cannot keep my hands off my fiancé” or “I will not be disappointed if your wedding vow is going to be in kerch” (even if Wylan’s idea to do it in zemini at their wedding did something with Jesper’s stupid loving heart) or “maybe all the things I taught you not very suitable for your vow, but for our wedding night….”, but Wylan softly whispered in his ear “I love you, sweetheart” in zemini, and Jesper decided that he could say all these things a little bit later.

That moment when the Spice Festival and Night On The Town fall on the same night, so drinks are free until 2AM. Pour up!

After SEVERAL drinks, She most definitely got absolutely wasted then called her fiancé to come get her! 😏 Whole time I'm watching her just gigglin' and thinking of that One Margarita song

Fun Fact: This is Ashanti, TJ's older sister. She's engaged to Mekhi (Monet's older brother). Her & TJ are actually Melo's cousins. Melo was raised by his Aunt (Ashanti & TJ's mom) and Grandma. His mom passed away when he was very young.

Ashanti and Mekhi have had an on -again-off-again relationship since high school. Now that they're 30-somethings, She's ready to settle down and start a family. She stopped taking her birth control (without telling Mekhi) and has been trying to get pregnant. They just got back together (officially) not too long ago and she is not about to do the whole break-up/make-up thing any more. She damn near gave him an ultimatum that he better put a ring on it, or else...A few months later, he did exactly that. She...I mean they're planning the wedding of her dreams. Mekhi would be ok with going to the courthouse but anything for the love of his life...right?
