#especially attractive and dirty diana

[blackynsupremacy]

bitch he just dropped one of the best debut solo albums i ever heard???

[myth-blossom]

Is it too late for a drabble? Would love to see "Unbind me" for Grey/Diana :D

There wasn’t much to do at sea, not when Diana spent two weeks adrift on an old longliner with its questionable crew and mysterious cargo. It was difficult to find peace among her allies, too, especially with Grey—every day they spent waiting in the North Sea to capture the Constant weighed heavily on his shoulders. With Olivia tracking the Ark Society and 47 mostly keeping to himself, that left Diana alone to placate Grey. They met each night in their makeshift war room, going over the plan again and again to cover any and all angles of possible failure, until their discussion eventually led to a demonstration.

You may need to get your hands dirty, he warned her. What if they needed her to restrain the Constant after his capture? What if something happened and the crew betrayed their coin for his, taking her or Olivia hostage instead? Did she feel confident in restraining someone securely, and more importantly, could she escape her binds if the need arose? She wasn’t certain she could.

They found some rope and she did as he directed, tying him to the chair as firmly as she could and stepping back to review the result. It took him less than a minute to break free of her best work, something he made sure to report, much to her chagrin.

It’s not good enough.

Teach me, then, she challenged. 

So he did. 

Grey spent the next week of their meetings teaching her how to restrain someone, showing how easy it could be for a captive to free themselves if they knew the right area to exploit. Diana was a fast learner and did well in her daily practice, her skills quickly becoming that of a modest escape artist. Yet she soon found herself intrigued in the lessons for another reason. What started as an innocent invitation of education had become a rather intriguing form of entertainment, and not just for her—even Grey was no longer occupied with discussing concerns over their mission. 

Their talks steadily became briefer, quieter, with Grey staring intently at Diana as she struggled against her binds. She found it strangely thrilling to be bound by him, watched by him, and she wondered if the feeling was mutual. She did her best to tempt him after that, hoping to provoke a reaction that made use of the electricity she felt building between them. He saw her wear her hair down on the first day and a sheer camisole the second, her favorite perfume joining the fray with its tactical application on the third. She pretended to struggle a few times for good measure, allowing him the opportunity to move in close enough to assist her, to linger, to enjoy the sweet scent on her skin as his breath teased the back of her neck with its warmth. She continued to challenge his resolve every day, and every time she would leave without him ever rising to it. 

That evening began like every other before it, with Diana adding another tool of attraction to her arsenal and hoping Grey would notice. Again, she couldn’t help but tempt him, suggesting he give her more of a challenge as she waited for him to bind her with rope. Only this time he didn’t bind her to the chair or wrap the rope around her torso, but bound her wrists together behind her back. The rope was tied differently, tightly, nothing that would hurt her in her struggle, not unless she wanted it to. He watched her hands wriggle helplessly for a time before she begrudgingly asked him to intervene. It was then she noticed the shift in his demeanor, his circling her being slow and purposeful, predator studying prey.

“Is this not what you wanted?” he murmured. “To test yourself? To test me?”

Her small smirk betrayed the pride in her victory. A pleasant shiver ran down her spine as his fingertips trailed over her shoulders, her arms, gliding down towards her binds and pressing his thumbs gently into her palms.

“I’ll free you if you wish. Or—“ he paused, tugging her to him with a firm grip on the rope,“—we can continue this little test of yours. Which will it be?”

Diana bit back a moan at the sudden contact, the heat of his firm body radiating through her delicate clothing. She looked over her shoulder and inched ever closer to his lips, her chin tingling at the sensation of his stubble.

“Please,” she breathed. “Enlighten me.”

Far Cry OC Tournament Round 1A: Diana Baker v Dean Sinclaire

About and voting undercut!

Diana Baker (@shallow-gravy)

About: Emotionally stunted, nihilistic 30-year-old bisexual with a guilt complex. Can’t be trusted to make good decisions. Shouldn’t have ever been allowed to be a cop. Sarcastic, impulsive and aloof, does not like it when people Know Her. Steals drugs from evidence lock-up and deep down feels the only thing she deserves is punishment but doesn’t know how to lay down and die quietly; hence her attraction to John Seed. She’s damn good with a gun though.

Does your OC have anything to share?: “Nobody backs me into a corner. I will fight and I’ll fight fucking dirty.”

Anything else we should know?: Pros: impulsivity means anything can be used as a weapon, but feels most comfortable with a firearm. Scrappy in a fight since she spent part of her youth on the streets / in a juvenile detention center. Comes across as “funny” and “cool” on a superficial level. Cons: not to be trusted as a friend or confidante because of poor decision-making skills; has a difficult time establishing close bonds, is just as likely to sleep with your boyfriend/girlfriend if the opportunity arises as she is to beat the shit out of them for cheating on you. Scrawny frame means people often underestimate her but watch out.

Dean Sinclaire (@derelictheretic)

About: Dean Sinclaire is a Junior Deputy and he's a himbo adjacent golden retriever boy, he just wants to help people and maybe convince himself all hope isn't lost for the world. He never liked cop's and wouldn't go flaunting his occupation but he likes to think he's making a difference and keeping his department in line, especially when he arrests Joseph Seed despite Sheriff Whitehorses discouragement. Yeah maybe he brought on the apocalypse but at least he wasn't being negligent! Outside of work he likes creative arts and doing things with his hands, he picks up new hobbies every other month but consistently enjoys drawing, hiking and being bad at journaling. He's besties with Sharky, Hurk and the Ryes and is constantly partaking in shenanigans with his boys. Dean also used to cage fight so he's no stranger to a showdown with all types of opponents, once he steps into the pit it's game on and he won't stop until he or his opponent goes down! He can take a lot of hits and is good at making his opponent exert themself so he can go full in at the halfway mark and take em down.

Does your OC have anything to share?: "I'm honestly just hoping no one breaks my nose, I'd hate to look like my old man at the end of this. It's been a while since i've done a proper fight so here's hoping all that muscles memory kicks in, if anything i'll tire 'em out for sure."

Anything else we should know?: The boy is very hesitant to even playfight with friends or family so if he goes up against another deputy he might be screwed because he won't wanna hurt them even in a low stakes setting!

The Role of Soft Wash Roof Cleaning in Home Maintenance Plans

Home maintenance is an essential aspect of preserving the longevity, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of your property. Among the various tasks involved in maintaining a home, roof care often stands out as one of the most crucial yet frequently overlooked components. Soft wash roof cleaning is a vital part of a comprehensive home maintenance plan, offering numerous benefits that contribute to the health and durability of your roof and, by extension, your home.

1. Prevents Roof Damage

One of the primary roles of softwash roof cleaning in home maintenance is the prevention of roof damage. Over time, roofs accumulate algae, moss, lichen, and other debris that can deteriorate roofing materials. These organisms retain moisture, which can lead to rot, weaken the structural integrity of the roof, and cause leaks. Soft washing uses low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions to gently but effectively remove these harmful contaminants, preventing them from causing further damage.

2. Extends Roof Lifespan

Regular soft-wash roof cleaning is essential for extending the lifespan of your roof. Roofing materials, particularly asphalt shingles, are designed to last for several decades. However, their longevity can be significantly reduced by the growth of algae and moss, which can break down the materials over time. By incorporating softwash cleaning into your home maintenance plan, you ensure that your roof remains free of damaging organisms, allowing it to reach its maximum lifespan.

3. Enhances Curb Appeal

The aesthetic appeal of your home is greatly influenced by the condition of your roof. A clean, well-maintained roof enhances the overall appearance of your property, making it more attractive and increasing its value. Soft wash roof cleaning removes unsightly stains, discoloration, and streaks caused by dirt and biological growths, restoring your roof's original beauty. This is especially important if you plan to sell your home, as a clean roof can make a significant positive impression on potential buyers.

4. Improves Energy Efficiency

A dirty roof can impact your home's energy efficiency. Dark stains caused by algae and other contaminants absorb more heat from the sun, increasing the temperature inside your home. This forces your cooling system to work harder, leading to higher energy bills. Soft wash cleaning removes these stains, helping your roof reflect sunlight more effectively and maintaining a cooler indoor temperature. As a result, your home becomes more energy-efficient, reducing your energy costs.

5. Prevents Health Issues

Mold, mildew, and algae growth on your roof can pose health risks to you and your family. These organisms can spread to other areas of your home, potentially causing respiratory problems and allergies. Soft wash roof cleaning eliminates these harmful growths, promoting a healthier living environment. By including softwash cleaning in your home maintenance plan, you protect your family’s health and well-being.

Conclusion

Soft-wash roof cleaning plays a crucial role in any comprehensive home maintenance plan. From preventing damage and extending the lifespan of your roof to enhancing curb appeal and improving energy efficiency, the benefits of softwash cleaning are numerous. By incorporating regular softwash roof cleaning into your home maintenance routine, you ensure that your roof remains in optimal condition, protecting your investment and maintaining the health and beauty of your home for years to come.

What are the Drew and Arch families like in your au? Like, their member's age, little bits of personality and such(also really curious about your Francesca OC^^care to tell about her as well? )

Here we go! :D

Warning: My AU has a slightly different time count, and there are A LOT OF discrepancies with the canon

Drew Family:

Joey's parents, Harvard and Jennifer, besides himself, also had a daughter, Beverly (Joey is 7 years older than her)

Joey's father (1936 - 1995) was a straightforward, principled and strict man. To put it mildly, he was not the most wonderful father, but he loved his children very much, but he showed it very much... in strange ways. He imposed his rules on them, which he passed off as generally accepted norms, and did not tolerate their non-compliance. He was especially strict with Joey. He did not praise his son, demanded a lot from him, did not support his hobbies, could scold even for trivial reasons, forbade Joey to show emotions, most often to cry ("You're a boy!"). Joey in my AU is naturally quite sensitive and emotional. Harvard believed that he was doing the right thing, and that in this way he motivated his son to be better, although in fact Joey grew up insecure and timid because of him.

Harvard was softer with Beverly because she's a girl and younger.

For the most part, Harvard was like that and did not allow his son to draw because when he was a child, his mother left him for a career as an artist, and his father was even worse than Harvard when he had own children. His character and methods of education are mostly from his father, except that he didn't use a belt in his upbringing.

Jennifer (1948 - 2001) was a less riotous person than her husband. She was quite a calm, patient and optimistic woman. She loved her children no less than her husband did, she was a decent mother (neither good nor bad). Sometimes she could be overly polite or mercantile, sometimes egocentric, but at the same time she remained caring and affectionate. But her love for her children could not be compared with her concern for her reputation (both her own and family). She was, in a way, vain and selfish. She forbade her children to argue with anyone, refuse, did not allow them to play games where they could "get a little dirty", did not teach them to defend their interests. She also, like Harvard, had sexist views (but her case is not so bad), for example, she, like Harvard, did not allow Joey to cry (Joey still feel embarrassed because of his tendency to tears).

Beverly (1977) basically inherited her mother's character, but she also inherited frankness and integrity from her father. She is often overly idealistic, overestimates her abilities and expects a lot from others, which is why she is often disappointed in people and in herself. But she is very caring, she always puts her family first.

Arch Family:

It was quite an ordinary family with parents, Spencer and Francesca, and two children (the eldest daughter Diana (1959) and the youngest son Nate). Spencer (1935 - 1998) was a charismatic and sociable person, he was like a movie star. Everyone adored him. There was something about him that attracted people. Francesca (1939 - 1983) was often ill at that time, and the children spent a lot of time with their father.

But love tends to fade, which is what happened to Nathan's parents. They began to quarrel more and more often and eventually divorced when Nathan was 6. Well, not really divorced. One day Nathan, his sister and mom woke up and... They didn't find the father. As well as his things. And most of the money. No notes, no calls time later. Nothing. He went to get milk and didn't come back, simply put.

Further, Nathan's life mostly consisted of whining sessions like "Your father is a bastard". He just had to sit next to his mother, listen to all her complaints and agree. By the way, Francesca's complaints consisted not only of grievances against Spencer. Of everything, may say. Moreover, she did not even explain anything about any elements of her stories (+18, etc.). At the same time, for everything else, he was "small". It's like "Participate in adult affairs, but you are still a disenfranchised child."

What about his sister? Well, the same things were happening to her. That's just she got tired of it and one day she had a big fight with her mother because of it, who eventually threw her out of the house. She was 16.

One day Nathan and his friends left to hang out. Francesca was alone at home. She had a really bad day then, and there was no one to talk to. What did she do? She went to the store and spent the rest of her monthly salary on alcohol. As a result, she did not calculate something there, she overdosed and died. Then Nate came back, but it was too late...

In the end, Nathan's sister was found and she took him. But they were not close, because my sister worked a lot. She was barely making ends meet, now she's providing for her brother too.

Nathan wasn't adored his mother, but he didn't hate her. And he certainly didn't want her dead. He still blames himself for what happened. He was 14 then.

By the way, they lived quite poorly, there was barely enough money for food, let alone clothes. Therefore, Nathan most often wore clothes for his sister, which is why his peers often mocked him.

Bonus: Nathan doesn't hate Spencer and isn't mad at him at all for leaving. He says that "for all these years, he himself has been kinda sick of living with this immature woman."

He even believes that the time when his father had not yet left was the best years of his life, and he considers his father a good man.

Well, not to say that his father was very bad, but still the image of the father who exists in Nate's head is too idealized and unrealistic.

Justice League: Snyder Cut

(DISCLAIMER: MY OPINION IS MY OWN AND CAN BE DEEMED INVALID TO THOSE WHO DON’T CARE FOR IT.)

Oh, the time has come my friends! Now, I originally did a review on Batman V.S. Superman and I didn’t care for it, so I deleted it.

VICTOR - “She’s 5,000 years old, Barry. Every guy is a younger guy.”

I would’ve kept swippin’ that ID like a cashier at Wal-Mart swippin’ a debit card.

They're movin’ a little too slow for me. Ik they’ve never been on the ship before, but I would’ve been zoomin’ through that entire ship just to hurry and get the job done. 

NOT THE PREGNANCY TEST

Damn, they couldn’t have at least picked up the photo??

The foreshadowing was spectacular! It will always amaze me. 

I’m sure Allstate will cover that person’s car...

Just when LOIS was about to move on. 

CLARK grabbed DIANA like miss me with that Rafiki shit.

I would’ve come back to my senses too after looking at Amy Adams. 

AQUAMAN + THE FLASH = A CONUNDRUM

DR. SILAS takin’ one for the team

                              PART 6 - “Something Darker”

As crazy as radiation is, it’s quite an amazing spectacle.

I wish this Justice League movie could’ve held off until we got some other heroes such as the Green Lanterns, Hawkgirl, and many others. 

Our generation was truly blessed to have an incredible actor as SUPERMAN, and we are not putting him to use!

JONATHAN sounds like President Biden lol

Alright, team?! Break!

AQUAMAN is totally enjoying this fight. He rode that Parademon like a surfboard.

AQUAMAN + CYBORG + FLASH = *THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN*

I swear every scene that WONDER WOMAN enters into does not fail to include the “Ancient Lamentation Music”. 

VICTOR hurry up and say “one” god damnnit!!

SUPERMAN COLD!!!!

Well, the dream is over once again...

I just don’t see how people can live with all those fuckin’ windows. 

“Oh, and some have called me The Martian Manhunter.” - J’ONN

Alright...

________

Yes, the movie was long but what needed to be expressed was. As we already the Snyder Cut wasn’t supposed to be seen because a father simply wanted to grieve the death of his child. I’ll once again reiterate what @verified-villain-fxcker you don't have to like the film but at least give it the benefit of the doubt from its predecessor. For me, I did enjoy watching his version, but let’s be honest what he who shall not be named did was just fucked up. 

[thecrownnet]

Season four began filming immediately after three wrapped. The ever-aggressive paparazzi snapped many scenes of Princess Diana (Emma Corrin) and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (Gillian Anderson) filming the penultimate installment, which just narrowly completed production before the Covid-19 shutdowns in the U.K. But the rush to finish didn't affect the costume department.

"With all those custom-made pieces, you have to be ahead of the game," explains Roberts. Her couture house-like department regularly operated on a three-week to one-month-ahead schedule, especially for the "ceremonial" pieces for principles.

"In fact, the last day, it was a huge scene with Diana and that was it," she continues. "We went out on a bang, you know. A massive scene with her in New York, and that was it. No more filming."

[Spoilers Ahead]

Season four extends to 1989, when Princess Diana embarked on a solo trip to New York City — actually shot in Manchester, England — prior to her 1992 separation from Charles. Playing the People's Princess, Corrin was photographed wearing a stunning re-creation of a gold-embroidered, pearl-embellished Victor Edelstein gown and bolero jacket that Diana wore to attend a Welsh National Opera Gala production of "Falstaff" at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music.

As "The Crown" stans anxiously await the announcement of a season four premiere date from Netflix, Roberts revisits some of the costume and behind-the-scenes highlights from three with Fashionista, including Colman's reaction to donning Queen Elizabeth II's intimidating investiture helmet, Princess Margaret's historically inaccurate White House visit dress and Prince Charles's and Camilla's imagined meet-cute outfits. And, yes, the costume designer drops more teasers for the upcoming season, including Princess Diana's "fantastic journey."

Your re-creations for Queen Elizabeth II were so accurate, like the fur-trimmed coat she wore to Aberfan (episode three) and her investiture suit — especially the hat. What was the most challenging costume to recreate and why?

The investiture costume with that extraordinary hat. In "The Crown," you have key moments with actual events that we know about. [The images are] very much out there on film and photographs and you are acknowledging those looks. I hate to say we're "copying" them. I think we're making a nod to them with hopefully a bit of us in there.

But that was quite a challenge because everybody knew that extraordinary medieval hat that the Queen wore. [We made ours out of] a very fine satin georgette and getting that color, that pale clotted cream color, [was a challenge]. For Olivia, that was quite a challenge to wear as well. She's a remarkable actress to work with, as you can imagine. She just lets you do your job. But even she looked slightly askance when that hat came out. But being Olivia, she went with it.

Which costume for Queen Elizabeth II allowed you the most creative freedom, because it wasn't a re-creation?

I'm really fond of when I imagine dealing with the real woman. There's a series of outfits [in episode five], when she is very involved with sorting out her riding stables and her horses aren't doing very well. And she leaves her [royal] role in the care of her mother and goes off [to Normandy, France and then Kentucky] with Lord Porchey [John Hollingworth].

I loved doing her like that. In macs [trench coats] and blouses and skirts and headscarves. The scarves are such a cool look. People can really relate to that now with that slightly Prada and Miu Miu-style shirts, blouses and colors that we went for.  When she dines, for once, she's not done up in a long dress. She's in rather attractive — well, I think they were nice — floral silk dresses.

I loved being able to see or pretend or imagine that side of her; that kind of upper-middle-class country woman doing things that she loved. [Spending time with] her horses — not that there are many dogs in that episode — which I think she probably feels most at ease with. Olivia looked fantastic in those clothes. She's like glowing in a way.

Everybody assumes [my favorites are] all the big ball dresses, which are lovely to do. But I like doing that more real element of people. This other side. 'The Crown' gives you that fantastic opportunity — the big, glamour, out there moments — and there's a lot of very intimate personal stuff, where you don't know what they would wear or what they would say, but you can have let your imagination go with that one and that's lovely to do.

In episode two, Princess Margaret goes to the White House to see President and Ladybird Johnson, to help secure U.S. aid. You designed a floral, off-the-shoulder, arm-baring dress, which made sense for her to trade dirty limericks with POTUS. But in real life, Princess Margaret wore a pink, long-sleeved jacket over her gown. What was the inspiration behind changing the design, and what are the print and silhouette telling us about her?

I just wanted to be a bit bolder and more startling. I just remember when we saw that fabric in one of the shops, I thought, 'That's it. That's it! Let's use that for that [part].' Sometimes things jump out at you, don't they? Also, it's a portrayal of Margaret by an extraordinary woman, Helena Bonham Carter. So somehow you're also taking that on board. With Helena, you could push it a little bit further and she would just be bold and brave with it herself.

Princess Anne is considered a fashion icon and as young woman in the late '60s and '70s, she was able to push the fashion envelope and do things like wear jeans and mini-skirts. How did you use her costume to show her as the more independent one in the family?

I don't think she represented the wild '60s. But the mini-skirts — the short skirts — that she wore, represented the '60s in a kind of posh-girl way. The first image that we had of her [to work off of] was written in the script as Anne in jodhpurs. That blew it all apart, didn't it? Here's this girl, strutting through the palace in riding breeches and boots — I think that's how it was written — that was my big guide into how we would deal with her.

There's a little shot of her [in episode six], when she visits her brother, when he's performing the play and she's in the audience. She's got '60s baker boy cap on, but there's nothing extreme about her. It's sort of sensible. It's getting that balance of that youthful brashness, but still she's a princess.

I did enjoy the scene where a buttoned-up Prince Charles calls her from Wales because he's homesick. She's in her room at the palace — and it's all messy — and she's wearing high-waisted flare jeans and a Hawaiian-print, long-sleeved T-shirt.

[That] was a scene where you could do that. She's on her own and I quite like that because it was contrasted against Charles, who never gets to be relaxed. He's at university. He's still wearing those little old man clothes, like tweed jackets and sweaters. I mean he looks adorable, because the actor's quite adorable, isn't he? [Ed. note: Yes.] He never somehow lets his hair down. So it was quite fun that she was dressed like that and he was in corduroy trousers or slacks — they were called slacks then — and a jumper.

It was really quite funny, the director of that particular episode, Christian Schwochow, is quite young himself and also German. So his view on the Royal Family was quite refreshing and we wanted to blow it out of the water as much as we could.

What inspiration and process did you go through to design and create the costumes for imagined scenes between Charles and Camilla?

There's very little reference [imagery] on her in that early time. With Camilla, it's a sexy posh girl with, dare I say, not a huge amount of style. Why should she? Why should she have that? So it's just that Sloane Ranger girl. We were just trying to tune into that and her country pursuits. So after she marries [Andrew Parker Bowles, played by Andrew Buchan] in series four, suddenly she looks a whole lot more herself, really. She's living the life she wants to in the country, [as part of the] the country set. It was a little point to what she'd become, probably. She's fun, relaxed and not particularly into clothes.

In series three, you know that you'll see a lot of these people again in series four. So you're kind of giving little pointers to what they'll become when they're a bit older and more settled. And people have a style. You change, of course, but you are what you are. You just get a little more sophisticated or get a little more confident.

Speaking of, images of Emma Corrin as Princess Diana in famously-photographed outfits (or variations of them) have been caught by paparazzi. How does Diana's place as an international fashion icon influence how you designed her portrayal in season four?

Well, she was brilliant to do because she has a real journey in four. Most of them do, but she, in particular, has a fantastic journey — a real arc — again, like Camilla. We kick off with a nice little Sloane Ranger, wearing bobbly old jumpers, and you end up with a dramatic change. A complete manipulation of her look. Like, she puts on suits of armor to protect herself. So that's all we'll say about that.

What hints can you share about the other members of the Royal Family in season four?

The Queen grows in being steadier in her role and her marriage. I'm always saying this, but whatever issues she has — or had — in the marriage, [she and Philip, played by Tobias Menzies] found a way of dealing with that, like a lot of marriages. It's just everybody maturing.

And Margaret — that very tempestuous relationship she has with Tony at the beginning, it's just getting more and more toxic. Of course, in four, her life is really a real mess and we just illustrate that with her clothes. But the colors are much more dour and bruised and her flamboyance from three is slightly toned down now. Charles actually matures into a married man, quite stylish, but, again, an unhappy marriage. And good old Queen Mum stays the same. Lovely Queen Mum. I love her.

Anna watches S03xE07 for the first time (warning: spoilers!)

NOT looking forward to this episode at all.

In fact, I’m terrified.

Would rather NOT watch.

Anywho, now that’s out of the way, here we go!

“Anne’s article isn’t recieved quite as well as she planned” WELL WE KNEW THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN. THANKS. But Josie makes a brave decision? Ooooooooh.

OH DEAR. MARILLA IS NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY.

OH NO, IT’S HAPPENING.

ARE WE READY FOR THIS?

Mr Barry and his dad jokes.

Diana didn’t even think and went along with Marilla’s assumption. A true bosom friend. She’s a ride or die.

OH NO, IT’S HAPPENING.

THE ARTICLE’S MADE THINGS WORSE.

OH NO.

Ugh, the video’s frozen and won’t load.

Well, we all knew this was gonna happen. But still.

Poor Josie.

Poor Anne.

Big yikes.

Why won’t this episode load anymore??

Can we just talk about how good the casting is? Josie’s parents look like they really could be Miranda’s parents and the Andrews really do look like a family. A+ casting.

OH NO POOR BABY JOSIE.

‘We casn’t have this dirty bit of business mar the arrangments between you and Billy’. YUCK. JOSIE’S FATHER IS EVEN WORSE THAN HER MOTHER.

‘It doesn’t matter whose fault it is’.

UM. EXCUSE ME. 

‘We’ll simply do whatever it takes to get him back’. EW NOBODY WANTS HIM BACK.

‘He’s not a nice boy!’ YES JOSIE. YES MY DAUGHTER. MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER. I HAVE NOW ADOPTED YOU. YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER NOW, NOT THEIR’S.

‘You put yourself in a situation…girl’s with repuatation’s don’t have choices’ 

My heart is breaking.

‘He hurt me!’ oh heavens. my baby. 

Baby girl.

PROTECT HER.

PROTECT HER.

Oh no.

IT’S ALL GOING DOWN.

‘Perhaps manifesto would be a better word’ NGL, I laughed.

So Anne didn’t mention Josie by name is the article? I’m glad about that.

I hope Anne does apologise to Josie.

‘Billy we’ll get you down to Charlottetown soon so we can find a woman more compatible with our interests’. EW, EW, EW, EW, EW. THANK GOODNESS THEY WON’T LET JOSIE MARRY HIM BUT EW. NO GIRL DESERVES THAT.

YES, IS PRISSY NOT ON HIS SIDE?? YES PRISSY! YOU GO PRISSY!

‘The only difference is that you found me worthy of defense’. PRISSY I LOVE YOU. WE STAN A FEMINIST QUEEN. OH WE STAN. ‘And now you’re hanging Josie out to dry because she’s not your daughter so “Off we go, onto the next!”’ STRAIGHT FACTS. POINTS. WERE. MADE. OH, WHAT A QUEEN. WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE??

‘Now that you mention it, I can think of one smell that’s worse than male desperation’.

FIRE UP THAT LOUD, ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOTS.

‘Hypocrisy’.

TURN DOWN FOR WHAT.

OH PRISSY. QUEEN. QUEEEEEEEEEEN. OH WE STAN. WE STAN, QUEEN.

‘Apologise to Josie’.

Diana is right. OH, BUT I HATE THAT SHE’S SO UPSET WITH ANNE.

MAKE UP SOON, MY DAUGHTERS.

OH SNAP.

OH SNAP.

OH SNAP.

THAT SLAP.

THAT SLAP.

OH SNAP.

THAT SLAP.

HERE WE GO.

‘You’ve always been jealous of me. You couldn’t rise to my level so you brought me down to yours. Now I’m trash. Just like you’. OKAY HOLD UP.

WAIT.

HOLD ON ONE SECOND, MISS PYE.

OKAY LOOK, I GET IT. YOU’RE UPSET AND HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE. ANNE WAS WRONG. 

BUT SERIOUSLY?

ANNE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO STUCK UP FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW IT. WHILE EVERYONE WAS TRASHING YOUR REP, ANNE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DEFENDED YOU AND BELIEVED YOU.

YES, GILBERT’S STICKING UP FOR ANNE WITH MOODY.

OH NO, SHIRBERT ARE FIGHTING AGAIN. YIKES.

Yay, Anne and Miss Stacey are having a feminist discussion!!!! She agrees with Anne, but knows what she did was wrong.

Poor, Anne. I do feel bad for my baby. I know what she did was wrong, but my heart still aches for her.

Great, now the old white men what to cancel the newspaper.

OH NO, THEY DID NOT JUST BRING MARY INTO THIS.

OH NO, NO THEY DIDN’T.

NOW IT’S PERSONAL.

I HOPE RACHEL UNLEASHES HER INNER FEMINIST.

This cinematography though. You can FEEL how Rachel is feeling.

DIANA AND JERRY. THEY’RE DISCUSSING THE BOOK.

THEY’RE GETTING DEEP.

OH NO.

OH NO.

OH NO.

JERRY’S NOT DEEP ENOUGH FOR DIANA.

‘Well, you’re a handsome creature, you have that in your favour’. WAS THAT A COMPLIMENT OR NOT MISS BARRY.

‘I wonder if we could think of something else to do, instead of just talking?’ EXCUSE ME MISS DIANA BARRY. BUT YOU CONTINUE TO BE THE BOLDEST GIRL IN AVONLEA.

OH NO, JERRY IS SAD.

WHAT’S GOING ON WITH DIANA AND JERRY.

ARE THEY NOT COMPATIBLE?????

‘This is not about the newspaper. This is about men being uncomfortable with woman. With mondernity itself’. YES MISS STACEY. YOU GO MISS STACEY.

YES. FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

‘I reckon you’ve heard from about enough men on this topic’. MATTHEW. PURE SWEET ANGEL. THE ONLY MAN I TRUST.

OH NO. HERE COMES ANNE’S BREAKDOWN.

YES. LOVE AND APPRECIATE HER. MY DAUGHTER DESERVES THE WORLD.

Guys, what it going on with Diana and Jerry? Are they just not compatible beyond attraction?? What are the writers trying to tell us??????

YES PRISSY, GET YOUR INHERITANCE.

[flatsuke]

Ayy babayy ✌︎('ω'✌︎ ) I’m here to throw your question back on you, because it’s so good and I would love to hear your answer as well!!! What do all of your biases have in common and what do you love about them individually? (Including new bae Claude)! And is there something that pulls you to polarizing characters or is it a coincidence? What draws you most to the oresama type and also if we eliminated oresama what do you think your second favorite type would be? Thank you!!!♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Holy shit, I love this ask so much!! Thank you for asking me this because I am so excited to answer this omg!!

Disclaimer: This is going to be a really long post with a ton of pictures rip

_____________________

I think the common point for most of my faves would be their paradoxical nature. There’s an internal struggle within them that just captivates me and wowee….I just love reading about them. Here’s a breakdown of some of them:

Eisuke: Appears confident and self-assured on the outside because of his position as one of the most powerful men in the country (if not the world), but struggles with his self-worth because he feels like he can only be worth something if he’s perfect. 

Saizo (and I’m sure you know this as much as I do lol): Iga’s best ninja. Was born and bred to be the Momochi heir. Outwardly apathetic towards everything, but inwardly suicidal and carries so much guilt and self-loathing that the only thing keeping him alive is MC.

Leon: The most powerful god in the Heavens next to the King. Literally has everything in the world…..but suffers a crippling loneliness because his power separates him from everyone else. 

Claude (from Who Made Me a Princess): Emperor of the Obelian Empire and  the most powerful magic-user in the land. His heart turned cold after the love of his life, Diana, died giving birth to their daughter, Athanasia. In the beginning, he blamed his daughter for Diana’s death, but he eventually grew to love her.

Jacopo (from The House in Fata Morgana): A man from the slums who wanted to become powerful so he could protect the people he cared about and make sure no one looked down on him. When he becomes the lord of his land, he ends up destroying everything he everything that ever mattered to him, leaving behind an empty shell of a man.

Outwardly, they all project power and strength of some kind, but deep down, they’re suffering because of the circumstances that tie them down (self-loathing, grief, loneliness, etc.). 

I’m especially drawn to characters who struggle with power. Eisuke and Jacopo (and SLBP Nobunaga in particular) are all leaders/rulers in their own right. They all sought power for noble reasons at first (Eisuke to protect the people he loves, Nobunaga to build a better country, and Jacopo a combination of both), but because of the external circumstances around them, they all had no choice but to become evil (or at least morally ambiguous) to achieve their goals.

They don’t mind being the villain. They don’t mind being hated by everyone so long as they have the power to do what they have to do. Almost nobody understands them or their struggles, so they proceed on alone. Thankfully Eisuke and Nobunaga have their MCs with them. Jacopo….doesn’t have anyone like that anymore so he ends up dying alone _(:3\ I imagine that fate for my other faves if they ever go astray, but thankfully they have someone in their lives who can love them.

And speaking of love, I really like characters who are the hardest to love LMAO. Everyone on this list has suffered trauma and is emotionally-stunted to a degree. They either don’t know love or have been hurt by love, so their hearts are stone and their walls are insurmountable. But when they find the One Person that can love and understand them, they become fiercely devoted to them. And when I mean devoted, I mean they’re willing to do absolutely anything for the person they love (Leon almost rewrote the universe for MC…..like damn lmao). Tl;dr, the ones that are the hardest to love, go the hardest for their s/o.

Additionally, seeing their moments of weakness hits doubly hard because they almost never show emotion or weakness at all:

Eisuke:

Claude:

Jacopo:

Ouch. Yeah….it hurts me a lot more seeing strong characters break. Bonus points if they break for the one they love.

On the subject of polarizing characters, I’m drawn to them because they’re so complex. They’re not 100% good or pure, and it’s impossible to peg them to a single character alignment because their motivations, actions, and intentions aren’t black or white; they do things for a reason and sometimes that reason might not be easy to understand for most people. Not that I find righteous or honorable characters two-dimensional— it’s just that I’m really drawn to characters who are anti-heroes because of the possibilities. They can either end in tragedy (Jacopo) or walk towards a better path (Eisuke, Saizo, Leon, Claude).

Oresamas in particular attract me because they’re so contradictory. They exude so much confidence on the outside, but in reality, no one hates them more than they themselves. Gotta love that inferiority-superiority complex. Basically: 

If not the oresamas, then my second favorite type would be the super shady manipulative chessmasters. I love how charming, cunning, and intelligent they are. I love how they’re willing to play dirty to get what they want. God, do I love how they have everyone in the palm of their hand as they pull the strings from th shadows lmao. Bonus points if they have One Person they love above all else. Nobuyuki from SLBP, Yosuke from KOP, and Yoo Jung from Cheese in the Trap are my best examples of this type lol. 

Overall, my favorite types are:

The more boxes they fill, the more I’ll love them lol

Again, thank you so much for this ask!! This was really fun to think about

UNDER THE CUT : HISTORY, TRIVIA, & CONNECTIONS !

A BRIEF HISTORY ;

the youngest windsor & only princess of england!

i’m currently keeping her actual childhood/family background undecided until i get the chance to plot with her brother(s), but as per the connection description: the siblings were initially v close while their parents were rather absent

notably, adelaide & her brother james had an extremely special relationship. as the eldest and youngest of the brood, from the time adelaide was born, james’s affection for her was almost paternal in many ways — and she loved him to pieces.

literally, like, there are shots of james walking adelaide hand-in-hand into her primary school, and even as they got older, she considered him her best friend and biggest protector. this is highkey inspired by my own grandmother & how she describes her relationship w her own late brother uwu

a charming, odd child, who was labelled as an old soul very early in life. very well mannered and mature, but prone to somewhat unusual flights of fancy 

a lowkey trouble maker -- or rather, incredible adept at being subtle. with at least one wild elder brother, it was both easy to learn from their mistakes and appear innocent in comparison

as adelaide got older, that old soul developed some of the troubles they’re ought to. she craved art, passion, love, justice, intense emotion, experience. she engaged in these behaviours moderately and with subtlety, particularly in comparison to silas. she was/is less about wild partying and more about deep experiences, and as such there have rarely been any stories about the little princess and drinking/inappropriate behaviour

she had always had a changeable nature and was susceptible to bouts of depression, but the death of james hit her in a way she has yet to recover from. while the whole family was devastated, no one took it harder than adelaide, who to this day calls him the love of her life

for the two years since his murder, adelaide has been in a poor mental and emotional place. unable to fully move on despite the time that has passed, she has both retreated further into herself and sought out unhealthy methods of coping ( ie. the usual -- alcohol, travel, and occasionally drugs )

hence she’s chosen to come to genovia, a decision that surprised even her parents. remaining in london has kept her in the throes of mourning, so she hopes to let go of some of her grief by arriving somewhere new and attempting self care

reputation & aesthetics tend to be very immaculate and proper, so it’s often a surprise to those that find out the young princess has that darker, troubled, sensual side to her - that she can drink gin straight without wincing, or has bruises and hickeys beneath her silk blouse

has never had any desire to rule/never considered it an option, but instead focuses her life on the betterment of people but domestic to the uk and worldwide through charity & philanthropy

TRIVIA ; 

the nickname for her in the uk is “the english rose,” or several variants (“the little rose,” etc) due to her fair complexion & nature. her reputation is very princess diana-esque: a modern, classy woman who devotes her time to philanthropy & charity

considered a fashion icon! 

an extremely accomplished horse rider, considered one of the best competitors in britain despite not actively competing in years. she’s down showmanship, jumping, dressage, & eventing. yes, she is the horse girl

despite her tiny height, form, and general fairylike facial features, this girl can drink a surprising amount of people under the table. is this a sign of a Problem? CERTAINLY

if you think you are the most beautiful and/or incredible thing to walk this earth, she thinks you are incredibly stupid. she’ll name 14 pieces of art right NOW that are more interesting than ur looks 

makes a habit of calling out those that are arrogant/rude

she started smoking when she was fourteen. her parents still don’t know.

camilla macaulay, grace kelly, and princess diana are probably her biggest inspos

very accomplished liar - she has an incredible poker face

she wears a locket james gave her every day. he had it specially made with an inscription (either a quote from a little princess or the secret garden, i haven’t decided), but since then she’s had the other side inlaid with a photo of him :c

her favourite disney movie is alice in wonderland, which is also one of her favourite novels

PLOTS & CONNECTIONS ;

the best friend: self explanatory! very open to how their friendship came about and when, but someone who knows adelaide intimately, and one of the few that can still read her even when she’s putting on her otherwise immaculate facade

the no-good: someone that would have been her corrupter, perhaps, or thought to be -- until they realized she was not the delicate thing one would seem. could be friends with benefits, drinking buddies, someone who encourages self-destructive behaviours, or any combination of this.

the counsel: young as she is, adelaide knows herself intimately, and as such knows a great deal about women in general -- this muse is coming to her for advice on how to court mignonette (or another lady)!

the lionheart: a dear friend, and someone similar to adelaide insomuch as her old soul, maturity, devotion to philanthropy, etc. someone to either decry or poke fun at the triviality of so much around them

the skinny love: it’s been the wrong time since childhood. but it’s always been the right time to hold terrible affection for each other. how heartbreaking, to keep on watching but never kissing.

the charged: inspired by this gif set. the true terrible influence, unhealthy relationship, disaster in a glass bottle. they infuriate each other, say the worst things that can be said. then they let it out in bed -- or almost go. getting closer every time

the antagonist: preferably a princess or someone of noble enough birth that they could have attended the same academy in their teen years. alternatively, could just be a pair that runs into each other frequently at those fancy aristocratic events. ( x ) is someone that leans into that queen B(itch) trope, or otherwise is confident to the point of arrogance/is unphased by potentially offending others by saying what they want, when they want. adelaide, blank-faced over her glass, calls this person out for their behaviour. as such, an intense dislike starts to brood between the two

the affair: we talking sex, we talking scandal, we talking familial outrage. we can talk more about specific circumstances, but i am very solid on the aesthetic of That Scene in atonement: aka green dress, up against the library walls during a dinner party, walked in on at the perfectly terrible moment. my initial thought was that these two met for the first time when the windsor’s were hosting a dinner/ball/celebration or something in honour of this royal/important family, and adelaide and ( x ) had incredible chemistry -- or at least sexual attraction. it only takes a few hours and several glasses of champagne for them to end up in the library in an entirely compromising position before someone walks in on them and snitches to the family. the whole evening is absolutely ruined, both sets of parents in disarray, and while the press never hear why the night was the fiasco, there are now rumours of tension between the two families/nations. alternatively, this could have been started some time long ago and wasn’t 100% a one-off

the young love: adelaide’s longest relationship, which began sometime in late high school or early college and lasted several years. preferably someone of royal blood, because this was in many ways - especially aesthetically - the Perfect Relationship. not only was adelaide wildly in love with them, but their relationship was public, and the press considered it an incredible feat that a prince and princess would naturally begin dating. this kind of aesthetic, ja feel? everyone that knew them felt they would get married, including adelaide. but for whatever reasons you like, this little prince broke up with her, and subsequently broke her heart & dashed her dreams. prior to james’s death, this was the greatest pain she ever endured. still do this day if she references “my ex,” or compares a man to someone, it’s this guy. despite whatever time has passed between break-up and now, adelaide still treats him with some disdain -- she’s both still hurt, and still harbouring lingering affection for him.

the exploration: the first woman that made adelaide question her sexuality !! i’m open as to what this is, how it happened etc; whether anything physical occurred or they were merely flirtatious and physically close; if it was one-sided or reciprocated, etc.

[msdianahamilton]

[ lily collins, twenty-seven, cis female, she/her ] ━  did y'all see [ diana hamilton ] walkin’ into [ the star diner ]? they’ve lived in frostford for [ twenty years, ] and you can catch ‘em around town working as a [ elem/middle school english & drama teacher ]. I reckon they’re pretty [ eccentric & creative ] but I hear they can also be kinda [  distant & self destructive. ] if ya see ‘em around, be sure to say hi. ━ [ triggers: teen pregnancy, child neglect/abuse ]

hi guys i have brought my baby diana to frostford and i am SO EXCITED ABOUT IT. under the cut is a little bit (okay i got carried away) about her! please message me if you’d like to plot with her!

Diana was the daughter of a teen mom who had no interest or desire to be mom, but since she was from a very strict Christian home, she had no choice 

Was born in Mobile when her mother was sent to live with her aunt and uncle because out of sight, out of mind. They could not stand the gossip and the good Hamilton name being dragged through the mud because their daughter had to go and get knocked up, so they made her go live with them, and she decided to stay there even after Diana was born

They stayed with her aunt and uncle for a while, until she was nearly two and Ally convinced them that she was grown and didn’t need their help anymore (sure jan)

Ally worked and had a job for a while and was on the straight and narrow path, and things were going great and then she met... a boy. And then another after that. And another. And another. There were many boys and girl was putting her boyfriends over her daughter and the job she had to pay their bills and keep her little girl fed

By the time Diana was like five, baby girl was taking care of herself, pretty much. Her mom would be out until all hours of the night, and expect Diana to take care of herself. And sometimes she wouldn’t even come home-- she’d leave Diana by herself not only for hours, but sometimes days. With hardly any food, and not making sure she wasn’t burning the apartment down, or making sure she was safe in general. A lot of the time, Diana was too scared to sleep and would hide in the closet, because any noise would scare her

Besides neglecting Diana, she got physical sometimes, especially after a night of drinking and taking who knows what kind of drugs and hooking up with guys. She’d grab baby girl forcefully, yell in her face, even smacked her around a few times if she thought Diana was being whiny, or even just because she felt like it. 

Eventually the Hamilton fam was like okay what’s going on here, and the aunt and uncle who they lived with before? They came to check up on them, and whoop, found Diana all alone, with no food in the fridge or cabinets, except for some stale cereal and water. When her mom came home, she didn’t even have the decency to feel embarrassed or any remorse, and that’s when the Hamilton’s were like, okay, we’re getting baby girl out of here. And they took her in for a little while, but they had a few kids themselves, and she was another mouth to feed, so the family all decided she was better off in Frostford with her grandparents. 

It was a huge difference to live with them compared to how she’d been living since she was a baby, and she really didn’t know how to handle it? She was very quiet and afraid to piss them off at first because for the first time in her life, she was being taken care of, she had food all the time, and the clothes she wore weren’t dirty and actually fit her right. But she eventually grew into herself. 

Sometime in middle school is when she realized she was attracted to boys and girls and when she asked her grandma about it, the poor old lady almost had a heart attack. But eventually her grandparents came to terms with it, and thought they are very Christian and it’s hard for them to this day, they love their grand daughter, and didn’t want to push her away and lead her to resent them and want to go back to living with her mother (who’s still in Mobile). 

After high school, she went to the University of Alabama and majored in English, and thought about writing, but a couple of years after graduating and no luck on writing the next great American novel, she decided she probably had to be more practical if she wanted to move out of her grandparents house, and decided to get certified to teach. She ended up landing a job as an English teacher at the local elementary/middle school, and has been working there for the four years, and in the last year, took on drama as one of the subjects she teaches as well. 

It’s become her passion to rebuild an after school program dedicated to the arts, specifically drama/acting, so she’s often staying after school with her students putting on skits and she’s trying to get the school to approve funding to put on actual plays. 

She’s quirky and kinda awkward, but also pretty blunt and says things most people probably don’t say out loud, so you can expect her to say some dumb shit, just fyi, y’all. 

She’s also that bitch that walks around town wearing some weird ass shit. She loves fashion, and is always in some over the top get up, which may not always look great, but she somehow manages to pull it off. She spends a lot of money online shopping, tbh. 

She’s a lowkey hopeless romantic, but IS VERY AFRAID OF LOVE AND GETTING HURT??? So she’s been in a few relationships, but she’s the one who makes them crash and burn because she gets scared when she starts to really like someone, and can be very self destructive and ruins things just when they’re getting good. 

She’s also hella bisexual, if I didn’t make that clear before. And she’s not out to everyone in Frostford, but most people she grew up with/went to school with would know that she’s not playing for just one team but all the teams

Oh she also tends to sleep around since she’s scared of commitment and being hurt, so casual hookups and friends with benefits are up her alley. She tries to not sleep with the same person multiple times unless she’s not super attracted to them, because then it’s fine and she’s not worried about catching feelings. But if she thinks you’re hot, plus you have great sex, and she thinks you’re funny and cool??? It’s a no for her, because SHE KNOWS she’s gonna end up getting feelings and is like nopeee.

Also she’s still pretty messed up from being neglected/abused by her mom. she doesn’t have a relationship with either of her parents-- she knows that her mom is still somewhere in mobile, and has NO idea who her dad is (he was an older guy who had no interest in being a father and is probably still in frostford)

oh and star diner was her first job, and she to this day goes in there and harasses her old boss/ex coworkers and will eat a shit ton of food when she’s drunk or feeling sad 

SO YEAH THIS IS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY BABY GIRL. PLEASE LOVE HER. AND PLEASE HMU IF YOU’D LIKE TO PLOT OUT SOME ESTABLISHED CONNECTIONS!!

some connections i’d love to have for her:

best friends

coworkers/work friends

hookups

FWB 

exes 

friends who are also gay and they have bonded over being gay in a small town

people she doesn’t get along with

people who hate her/she hates (who maybe hookup bc that’s always fun)

college friends

cousins!!!

half siblings!!!!

parents of her students!!!

family friends

acquaintances

ex friends

people she went to school with/grew up with

yeah, these are just suggestions/off the top of my head, and not set in stone!!

Benefits of Regular Roof Cleaning

Regular soft wash roof cleaning offers numerous benefits, extending the lifespan of your roof and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of your home. 

Here are some key advantages of maintaining a clean roof:-

Prevents Structural Damage: The accumulation of debris, moss, algae, and other organic materials on the roof can lead to structural damage over time. Moss, for example, can retain moisture and cause roof tiles to deteriorate. Regular cleaning helps prevent the growth of these damaging elements, preserving the structural integrity of the roof.

Extends Roof Lifespan: A well-maintained roof lasts longer. Regular cleaning removes debris and prevents the development of issues like moss and algae, which can degrade roofing materials. By addressing these problems early on, you can extend the lifespan of your roof, potentially avoiding the need for premature replacements.

Prevents Algae and Moss Growth: Algae and moss thrive in damp and shaded areas, and they can quickly spread across the roof. These organisms not only detract from the visual appeal of your home but can also cause real damage. Algae can lead to discoloration, and moss can lift roofing shingles, allowing water to penetrate and causing rot. Regular cleaning inhibits the growth of these unwanted organisms.

Improves Energy Efficiency: A clean roof reflects more sunlight, helping to maintain a cooler temperature inside the home. This is especially beneficial in warmer climates where excessive heat absorption by a dirty roof can contribute to increased energy consumption for cooling. By enhancing the roof's reflectivity, regular cleaning contributes to improved energy efficiency.

Enhances Curb Appeal: The appearance of your roof significantly impacts your home's curb appeal. Stains, streaks, and moss-covered roofs can make your property look aged and poorly maintained. Regular cleaning not only protects the roof but also enhances the overall visual appeal of your home, increasing its market value and making it more attractive to potential buyers.

Prevents Water Damage: Debris on the roof, such as leaves and twigs, can accumulate in gutters and downspouts, causing water to back up. This standing water can lead to water damage, affecting the roof structure and potentially causing leaks. Regular roof cleaning, including gutter maintenance, ensures proper water drainage, reducing the risk of water damage to the roof and the interior of your home.

Preserve Home Interior: A well-maintained roof protects the interior of your home from water leaks and related damage. Leaks can lead to structural issues, damaged insulation, and the growth of mold and mildew. Regular cleaning and maintenance help prevent these issues, preserving the integrity of your home's interior and ensuring a healthy living environment.

Cost Savings in the Long Run: Regular roof cleaning is a proactive approach that can save you money in the long run. By addressing potential issues early on, you can avoid expensive repairs or the need for a premature roof replacement. The cost of routine cleaning is a fraction of what you might spend on major repairs or a new roof.

Compliance with Warranty Requirements: Some roofing materials come with warranties that may require regular maintenance, including cleaning. Failure to adhere to these maintenance guidelines could void the warranty. By regularly cleaning your roof, you not only protect your investment but also ensure compliance with warranty requirements.

2. MR HOLLYWOOD

THE LINE TO CHECK INTO OUR HOTEL looked extremely long which seemed absolutely ridiculous to me. It was a rather large hotel but it still seemed absurd that it could hold that many people in line plus the people already staying. The wait, though, went fast. It felt like a blur, almost. Like one second we were at the end of the line and the next we were getting settled in our hotel rooms. (Yes, three rooms one for our grandparents, one for our parents and one for us, now having to share with Pandora and Elizzy).

"Anyone want tea?" Pandora offered the second we entered our hotel room.

It was just the six of us. The siblings. Pandora. Elizzy.

"Is this your way of fulfilling your british stereotype?" Nikko asked the rather harsh question but in a lighthearted tone. Regardless, I still shot him a dirty look which he shot one back without hesitation.

Pandora ignored our exchange as she sat her luggage down. " You could say that. Also, simply trying to give thanks for allowing us to stay with you for a couple nights."

Maya was still eyeing the pair with suspicion but didn't say anything, although I could tell she wanted to.

"What tea do we have?" Chloe inquired to be nice.

She began to head over to the little coffee/tea set up that was complimentary from the hotel but was interrupted by Pandora. "No, my dear, I brought tea."

"Ah. 'Course you did," I blurted, sounding much more harsh than I intended to. Pandora didn't flinch though.

"But I have Earl Grey, orange, peppermint, Chai, ginger, green and vanilla," she responded, pulling out the boxes from her bag as if she was fucking Mary Poppins.

"Do you just carry tea everywhere?" Maya asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Hm. I was going across the world to bloody America. I might as well bring my tea," she declared. "Now what will everyone have."

We all passed with the exception of Chloe and Elizzy which seemed to leave Pandora rather disappointed in not being able to flex her skills in tea making. But anyways, nothing happened much else that day. The whole group got together in one room to have dinner together, the adults conversating with Pandora with no problem at all while the four of us stayed rather wary of her.

She was, however, still a stranger with the chance of being a serial killer.

The next morning, I wake up before everyone with the exception of Pandora who was up making tea. I contemplated going back to sleep or waking one of my siblings up to avoid having to endure an awkward conversation with this girl. But before I had the chance to do so, Pandora asked, "Would you like some tea, Kacey?" Without even glancing at me and saying my name with an edge that I didn't like.

It was confirmed then and there, that she had eyes on the back of her head. Or more realistically that I had been rustling too loudly, letting her know I was awake. Damn her.

"I'm going to have to pass on that offer," I replied, assuming she was putting poision into the tea.

"Your loss," Pandora declared with quite the disappointed shrug of her shoulder. She really wanted to show off her tea-making skills for some fucking reason.

I was rather tired so I decided it was an excellent time to put on my detective's hat and ask Pandora questions to determine who the actual hell she was. Because yes, I'm as good as Sherlock Holmes, himself.

"So... how did you and Elizzy meet?" I asked, trying to sound completely intrested while my voice was painfully groggy from sleep.

Pandora turned a bit to pour sugar into a cup of tea, allowing me to see her lips quirk up at the question. In the way that an adult's mouth would when a child asking a rather naive or adorable question. She really was testing me, wasn't she.

"Ah," she finally exclaimed. "Yes. We met in London, you see. I was orphaned and I knew her through a family friend so I decided to contact her. To my surprise and delight, she was in fact in London at the time, not too far from where I was living. I met up with her and we had quite a lovely discussion on whether or not she should adopt me. She doesn't have much going for her except waitressing at some sad little town near Los Angeles. Her modeling and singing career have unfortunately not been successful so she thought she could handle adopting a child. You know, to keep herself from being bored. And luckily, I not only fend for myself, she doesn't have to make her own coffee or tea in the morning."

I looked at her, not really knowing what to say, unfortunately not having a witty saying on hand. So she decided to take that to her advantage by turning to me with this smug-looking smile, holding her tea cup elegantly with one hand. That action, of course, only made me dislike her even more.

"I know you don't like me and whether or not your reason is justifiable for that, I don't care. I just want you to know that I don't intend to hurt you. Ever. I would never do such a thing. When I say I know your mother, I really do," she declared and took a sip from her tea before glancing at me through her glasses.

I think I disliked her even more after hearing that. I was definitly a year or more older than her and she was regarding me like I was a baby. I wished my siblings would wake up- or at least Elizzy- because I had enough of this dumb one to one talk with Pandora.

"Ah," I responded then tucked myself back in bed, deciding it would be better to pretend sleep. "Yes. Through a family friend."

I knew she looked at me like I was dumb or like an enfant but I didn't care. She was using some technique on me to get under my skin. I wondered why but I also did not want to be around her much longer to find out.

We all decided to be the tourists we were and headed down to the pool, later that very day. It was rather large, made up of four different pools and swarming with tipsy adults. Chloe, of course, was busy complaining about how disgusting it all was via FaceTime the whole way down. I was surprised when no one told her to shut up, especially mom.

Once down there, we headed towards the lazy river since there were less people there than other pools. Still, there had to be at least a hundred people making their way through it.

We rented a few inner tubes that were set at an unreasonable fee and got in with the exception of our grandparents and parents.

The six remaining of us were rather split up. Elizzy and Pandora sat on two inner tubes close to one another (A note: Elizzy was looking close to perfection with her glamorous sunglasses and brightly colored cocktail in hand). My siblings and I decided to race since there was not much to do. However, the race automatically just turned into a rivalry between Nikko and I once Chloe and Maya got bored.

We were shouting insults at each other and splashing and pushing each other out of the way to get ahead. I can't imagine all the glares we must've earned from those drunk, probably stoned people. We were 16 but we insisted that we acted like annoying eight-year-olds. Don't blame you if you don't like us.

"All right! All right!" I eventually said, not realizing how out of breath I was. "Time out!"

Nikko gave me a disgusted look and kept swimming forward. "No way!"

I gave him a look. "Nikko. I need to take a piss and unless you want me to pee all over you in this pool –"

"Ew gross, just go," Nico declared, wrinkling his nose in pure disgust.

I gave him a satisfied grin and in return, he flips me off. We love a functional wholesome sibling relationship, don't we?

So I got out of the pool and headed towards where this big sign said 'Restrooms'. I was halfway there when quite literally somebody bumped into me, nearly causing me to fall. I managed to steady myself but the other person's sunglasses flew off their head and skittered to the ground.

Almost like a reflex I bent down to grab the sunglasses before the owner did and said, "Sorry." Then thought I had no reason to be. I didn't bump into them.

But as I handed back the Ray Bans, I realized who I was looking at looked quite familiar. And then it clicked.

"Hey – Are you... Owen Greene?" I asked.

To this, he snatched the sunglasses out of my hands and quite aggressively shoved them on. Owen Greene was a famous child star in Hollywood when he was about five or six. His fame kind of died not too long after. But even as a post-puberty 16-year-old boy, standing in front of me, I had difficulty understanding why Hollywood didn't want to cast them. It's gross saying this because there is more to people than their physical attributes, but he was pretty attractive and looked to fit play a dashing Prince in one of those fantasy movies I don't care much for.

But standing in front of me, he gave me a once over work like he was scanning me. I frowned at that.

"What?"

He barely moved.

"No cameras. No autograph. No story" he snapped. "Do you work for a magazine or a media outlet of any form?"

I blinked in shock both at his harsh tone and the words he was spitting at me. "Not that I know of."

"How about a crazy obnoxious fan?" He ordered even further.

"A fan? You were popular about 10 years ago and at the time, I was much more into Dora," I replied.

My comment made him laugh at first but almost immediately he stopped himself. That was enough to make me laugh.

"Is everything all right?" I asked him, not used to so much paranoia.

"I've just –" he started then stopped himself. "You've got no idea how lucky you are."

I snorted at that. He was a gorgeous Hollywood star who may not be as famous as he once was but was probably a millionaire. His whole life was basically granted to him on a silver platter. "Really? How so?"

Owen made a face. Like he scrunched up into a crumpled jumble as he thought up a response to that. Then he hesitated.

"Because you're normal. I doubt you've ever had to run away from stupid people who only use you to get money," he sputtered out with disdain – not towards me but most likely, Hollywood.

I didn't blame him. From what I've heard in the past, fame sounds pretty shitty. Stories like Princess Diana's have always caused me to steer clear from the spotlight and aspire for a less popular domain.

"At least you're rich," I pointed out.

"Fine. You win on that," he said with a sigh. "But it's not like I touch most of the money I've earned."

"So you're a Hollywood runaway, huh?" I asked and began to eye what he probably thought was a disguise to hide from whatever it was he was running from.

I will say, it was a pretty bad disguise. I mean he did still look like Prince Charming even if he was trying to go for an ugly, tourist hobo look. His fair fell to his shoulders, he wore a hideous Hawaiian shirt and swim trunks and God, even worse- a bucket hat.

"Yes," he said then his eyes noticeably widened from behind his sunglasses. "But I swear to God, if you send me back to Hollywood, that wretched place, I will ruin your fam-"

"No you won't," I interrupted with an amused smile.

He then pouted like an oversized baby. "I can and I will."

"Ah, I see," I said then held out my pinky. "I pinky promise I won't tell anybody about this."

He looked down at my pinky like I was crazy. "What- are you like eight?"

I laughed at that. Jesus Christ, he had a stick up his ass but for some reason, I found him so much easier to talk to, compared to most people. It was jus easy to sass him despite all of the glares he gave.

"'Course I am, Greene," I declared then with a sigh, he wrapped his pinky around mine.

Then we stood there for a rather awkward moment not saying anything. I was someone who had pretty shit social anxiety so of course, this awkward silence was nothing new to me at all. Then, God bless him, Owen broke the silence "What now?"

"I suggest changing your disguise," I blurted, not really mean it.

He glared at me. "What? What's wrong with it?"

I couldn't help but giggle at him and held my hand up to cover my mouth.

"What!?" He demanded.

"You just-  you just look like a hobo tourist. Or tourist hobo... It's just not-" and the look he gave me, only made me laugh even more.

"Fine! Then what do you suggest my disguise should be!" He said with the anger forced into his voice.

I looked him over once again and just cringed at it, allowing myself to express it for you know, emphasis.

"First of all, cut your hair. It's terrible. And maybe not dress like... Like you're a fucking homeless man whose trying to sightsee and fit in," I teased further.

He rolled his eyes then grabbed a hold of my wrist for a moment as if a motion to get me to walk with him. I panicked a bit at first but he was gentle and let go of me, almost instantaneously

"Where we going?" I asked him.

"Getting my haircut and a change of clothes, apparently," he grumped.

I crossed my arms. "And what? You need me to supervise you?"

He gave me another lovely pissed off glance – he was extremely good at those, I recalled.

"Yes because you apparently know how to give me a better disguise," he snapped.

I had my phone on me – if things went wrong, I could easily consult my family. I also thought it was about time Kacey Maxwell had a chance to run off with a boy. Even though, I had no feelings for him whatsoever, of course, I just enjoyed the excitement of it all. So I let him take me inside the hotel where he moped into the hotels very own salon. (It's Vegas, of course they had a hair salon) while he forced me to be his shopping servant, handing me 100 bucks for me to buy him something.

About 15 minutes in and I was looking for shirts for Owen Greene, himself, I got a call from Chloe.

"Hey? Everything all right?" She asked when I picked up. "You've been gone for a bit."

Okay. How the hell do you explain to your sister that you decided to give a former Hollywood star a makeover? I wrinkled my nose.

"Yeah. Just headed back to the room-  forgot sunscreen," I explained on the spot.

Quite honestly, I think she would've believed me more if I just had straight up told her I had runoff with Owen Greene.

"You... Went back to the room... All by yourself... In a hotel... infested with crazed, probably drunk gamblers... With a chance there's rapists around-"

"You would go to the room without a problem," I defended, not wondering whether that would be true or not.

"I most certainly would have a problem with it. And I'm less anxious than you are."

I rolled my eyes at that and picked out a shirt on a rack that I thought would look nicely on Owen.

"I'm more independent," I pointed out. "I know how to handle things on my own more than you."

She sighed dramatically and I could just picture her sunbathing, sprawled on one of those hotel chairs. Jesus Christ, Chloe Maxwell was the most extra person I had ever met.

"Fine. If that's where you say you are, I guess I must believe it," she declared. "Just call me if you accidentally run into a rapist."

I picked out a pair of shorts, hoping it would look fine on Owen (I wasn't an expert in men's fashion, unfortunately) and headed to the cashier to pay.

"Will do," I promised Chloe. "Look, gotta go. Be out soon."

Before she could respond, I hung up on her then headed to the cashier. I paid for everything with Owen's money then left the shop to meet up with Owen. The salon was only a short walk from the store and I decided to wait outside for them.

Slumped on the bench, wearing my swimsuit cover-up and flip-flops I played candy crush because I swear to God, I had the mental age of both a seven-year-old and 82-year-old.

About four rounds later, Owen walked out, looking around, probably for me. With a sigh, I got up and handed him the bag of clothes.

"How do I look?" He asked.

I looked him over with an unamused glance. "Less like a hobo tourist."

"That's a huge improvement," he declared, then allowed himself to chuckle. "Wanna go back to the pool?"

The second he suggested it, I began to turn my way towards the exit to the pool. He followed suit, still wearing his ugly Hawaiian shirt and put his disgusting bucket hat back on over his hair.

"How long are you going to be here in Vegas?" he asked.

"Unfortunately, a week."

"Unfortunately?"

"Yes, unfortunately. This place is full of gross ass, drunk, kinky people," I replied.

"Oh," he said. "I like Vegas."

I smirked and quirked an eyebrow at that. "Really? Are you gross and kinky, yourself?"

He shot me a dirty look (a glance, not anything sexual, Jesus Christ). "Shut up, er... wait, I don't even know your name."

He was probably used to that. People knowing his name and him knowing nobody's.

"Kacey," I replied.

"Kacey," he repeated it. "I like that. It's pretty."

I wrinkled my nose. "Don't you dare start with that shit."

He chuckled then rubbed the back of his neck, awkwardly. Fuck, I also hated this. "Can I... can I hang out with you today?"

The way he asked it was almost childish. As if he was some insecure asking an older kid to hang out. I let out a sigh.

"Yes but I would like you to know I'm traveling with my siblings- two of which I like, one of whom I hate- my parents and my grandparents," I warned him. "Let's hope they won't mind me bringing them a fucking runaway Hollywood Star."

”So, we’re gonna start today’s Martin Mystery rewatches with The Vampire Returns. Should I have listened to more of the Young Frankenstein soundtrack during lunch in preparation? Probably. But here we are instead.

I love how this show always specifies the exact time shit starts going down. For instance, in this episode, 10:32 pm CEST

~~

Good on Lady Soulsucker’s date for paying enough attention to notice when the girl he’s out with grows fangs and her eyes start glowing. You don’t see that often enough.

Aw and then she takes the daintiest bite of apple with teeth bigger than Date-Dude’s face.

I wonder how they got out without being noticed... can’t remember if the vampires in this episode can do the ‘turn to fog’ thing. Sure I’ll find out later.

~~

Diana sitting there with a book and a crowd of impressed young ladies. What are you showing them, Diana? Did you make this book yourself? Did you mother write it? I can’t think of a reason for the ooo-ing and ahh-ing going on otherwise. Either that or you managed to attract a pack of lesbians and they are trying to get in your pants.

...ya know I’m kinda all for the idea that Diana has unwittingly attracted a chunk of Torrington’s lesbian population and they are all trying to smooze in the awkward way that only a young gay can manage.

Also hello Tonio, it’s nice to see you. I’m going to have to include you in this in some way, I believe, given the location and also that this is a fic for nix.

Martin, Martin, sweetie, no. You are not getting that girl. There were actual sparkles coming off her, you don’t deserve that sort’ve quality. Plus, ya know, she sounds like your brand of nerd isn’t her style. I know the saying is “aim for the moon, if you fail you’ll land among the stars” but let’s be realistic for five seconds

Tonio can see this disaster coming from a mile away.

Amber is not having it, solidly unimpressed. I’m shocked.

You think the girls at this school ever rate the boys and just, give Martin a solid 6/10 for effort and moxie alone? “We wouldn’t date him, but at least he’s entertainingly stupid.”

Amber’s look of shock and concern at the idea of Martin enjoying studying. Like she’s about to call in the Psi Psi Psi girls and Diana, clearly their moron has fallen ill. Diana, meanwhile, is just pissed and I can’t decide whether the idea that this is because Martin is lying to get a date or because ‘has he been lying for the past our entire lives’ is funnier.

Though, given we’ll be working with witch!Martin for this it’s not like he’s lying. He just doesn’t like studying, well, anything they teach at Torrington. (Although I am still a big fan of the idea that he’s perfectly bright and just doesn’t apply himself like, at all.)

Martin don’t growl at your sister, you’ll get enough chances to in season 3.

And Amber trying to let him down easy.

~~

“Very rare, and totally irreplaceable” and you, all the way into season 2, are going to work with them, in your office, immediately after calling in Martin- known disaster and Destroyer of Projects? I swear you’d think MOM wanted her crap ruined. After a point you have no one to blame but yourself.

Martin no.

I repeat, MOM, no one to blame but yourself. Most people with an ounce of sense would stow away the shit they didn’t want destroyed when the guy who keeps destroying shit was called in.

Diana no. You’re being sent on a mission not a fucking river cruise.

~~

Introducing, the world’s scariest tunnel of love. First condoms in the water, now people going missing, this dude is just done.

Well Lady Soulsucker just fucking demolished that place didn’t she. Godsdamn, forget shutting it down because people disappeared, shut it down because it’s officially a safety hazard.

Okay, access hatch in the ceiling, that explains that.

...Okay but Martin isn’t entirely wrong with his assessment here? Something strong and nocturnal is right on the nose, and while the werewolf and half-beast-half-humanoid (and I love he uses that word specifically) hybrid guesses aren’t quite right, they aren’t far off the mark. He brought his A game today.

Diana, darling, kids playing practical jokes generally don’t leave fair rides completely demolished in their wake. That is not a normal occurrence.

Java about to eat half-consumed food off the floor like child did Diana not teach you better than that? I wouldn’t be surprised Martin didn’t but Diana?

500 year old saliva. This is the sort’ve ridiculousness I expect from this show. What, did Lady Soulsucker not swallow, spit, or brush her teeth since she escaped her coffin? Was she going around with 500 years of no brushing on her breath? Of course she’s got vampire hypnosis it’s the only way she could get a date.

Vampire goes rwar at children, flees into the sun to escape capture. Also he may need some heavier clothes, those don’t seem to be keeping the sunlight out.

~~

Martin no.

Billy making himself useful. Helping them follow the massive flashing clue that is the vampire’s clothing.

Martin slow your jock-ass down

Martin no, purple isn’t your color.

Okay, can I just say here that Lady Soulsucker looks fucking weird? She looks like a haunted porcelain doll. Or a shitty oc. Here, a theme song to go with her.

Question, why is there a surf shop in the middle of Paris? Is Paris big for surfing? A true French sport?

Oh, yeah, Simone, I forgot her name. It’s very French. Also dude chill.

Diana will not be stopped by some weird hyper-jealous dude.

She also, ya know, looks like a fucking corpse. But yeah, the reflection thing is your first clue something’s up.

He doesn’t see her, he doesn’t hear her, he doesn’t smell the 500-yo morning breath. I claiming him as an anosmiac by the way, the flag is in.

Welp. I can’t decide whether this feeding was more or less extreme than the last one. I mean, this time was pretty fucking hardcore, but last time she demolished an entire fair ride.

Simone, sweetie, have you considered that if you are looking for a specific guy maybe, just maybe, the way to go about it isn’t to just eat whatever random dude happens to be within hypnotizing range? Just a thought?

“He needs help, I’m going in” Martin says right after watching a guy get eaten by a vampire, proving that while he may not be the moron we deserve, he’s the moron we need. Diana, on the other hand, is a voice of reason and doesn’t deserve this shit.

Lucky those clothes were there to break your fall, Martin.

Martin, after dropping from the ceiling into a vampire’s feeding ground, alone: Don’t make me fuck your shit up! Simone, seeing this: Oh yay it’s my moron! Speak of the devil!

Am I saying Gerard was probably just as much an impulsive dumbshit as his great-x-grandson? Yes. Yes I am.

“Clever, and brave.” And a complete moron of a dork. “Just like my Gerard.”

“And just as handsome” it’s nice to see the looks keep in that family? I don’t believe Gerard got the floaty hair though, but his hair looked stupid so really Martin has the advantage there.

Vampire minions are strong, holding back Java with one hand.

Vampire true love is apparently very sparky.

Well Diana, at least you saved the watch.

~~

Martin gets abducted by vampires, Billy immediately must run to the scene.

I’d be impressed with your strength, Java, if those doors hadn’t looked 70% fallen in before you got to them. You could’ve probably gotten the same result from a hearty cough on them.

Gerard=Martin w/o floaty hair or modern fashion. Don’t know why the portrait is in black in white.

You’d think Billy could’ve taken the thirty seconds to read a brief overview about the woman while he waited for Diana and Java, but no.

No wonder Gerard looks weird, there’s not even a splash of warm color in that outfit. And warm tones don’t do Simone any favors. Coordinate your fashion better, people, you’re vampires for fuck’s sake! What would Mike say!

How do we know about genes from a 15th century vampire? Also I note she says ‘relative’ and not ‘descendant’, but I’m not in the mood to dig into that.

Billy you are literally a galactic conqueror, but your big boy underwear on and get in the basement.

Let’s be real, Diana, that’s just a sibling thing. You go into horrible places to save them so you can give them hell about making you go to a horrible place to save them.

How many minions has Simone gotten together? Like, the clan hasn’t been renewed yet, so... When did she get the time? It’s been like 24 hours

Okay, that explains new guy A, what about B and C over there, who look like they stepped out of Robin Hood? where they sealed in with you? Is this the old crew?

Simone, queen of the night and motivational speeches.

Martin you can’t just call on a specific guy, poor thing probably had a heart attack. “Fuck, my Lady’s new consort has beef, fuckfuckfuck” but no, you just want some fucking fries. And Simone is fucking loving it.

~~

Okay, so we know some of them sleep upside down.

It’s nice to see vampires can still be active sleepers.

Hissy vampires on all fours

Vampire!Martin is perfectly fine with being an evil trophy husband

Vampire!Martin standing there like “yeah, you rule the underworld, babe, rocking it!”

~~

“Do you know how much grief I’ll get at Torrington if my stepbrother comes back a vampire?” Would it really be that much more than you get just for having him as a stepbrother in the first place?

A vampire lord consort and yet still, at heart, an annoying brother

Simone: Get me back my fucking moron and we’re all screwed!

Tell me that’s like, Diana or Java’s dirty sock because I’m fairly certain even Martin doesn’t deserve to have his own stuffed in his mouth

And Simone becomes a massive fucking bat beast. Fur, muzzle, little winglet-dealies, big ears, big teeth, no tail...

Okay, yeah, Java’s sock, cool

Those are some seriously dirty windows. Or, well, were.

Sunlight burns everybody but also burns Simone to fucking ash right quick. Which then removes the curse on her victims.

Also I wanna know more about this apparent vampire gene. It is of much interest, especially given next episode will be dealing with werewolves and in some folklore werewolves when killed become vampires, so...

~~

Martin. No.

Amber really. Either you were setting him up or you yourself are dense as teak.

Oh Martin... stick with spies and monsters, honey

[themysteriouslou]

leslie and jacob!!!

❤ thank you mari (answers under the cut!)

General:

Rate the Ship – [listen I love them but I don’t want to overwhelm you – you have enough of me rambling about Leslie already]Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? – Not even death will do them apart.

How quickly did/will they fall in love? – at a reasonable pace if I have any say on this. I reckon it takes weeks for these dorks to be comfortable around each other, so it’ll be a bit longer until they realize they’ve caught feelings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How was their first kiss? – Possible spoilers: Jacob started it by pulling her closer and kissing her hard on the mouth. It was done entirely on impulse, their situation was difficult and there wasn’t time to spare but it happened—at the risk of sounding cheesy: it was as if everything had gone silent around them, quiet, with only the beating of their hearts as background music.

Wedding:

Who proposed? – Jacob!

Who is the best man/men? – John [Jacob’d have wanted Joseph to be one of the best men but that’s kind of tough when non-cult people hate your guts in addition to the island-wide house arrest]

Who is the bride’s maid(s)? – Hmm, they’d likely be Faith, Kim, Les’ sisters, Cass [an OC Gun for Hire I’m currently developing], her female friends from Virginia… and Sharky and Hurk, because why not.

Who did the most planning? – Both had equal involvement in the planning!

Who stressed the most? – Leslie [several of her folks and friends went bridezilla in the planning of the wedding and she had to stand most of it lol]

How fancy was the ceremony? – [It was quiet and intimate, a small wedding with only their families, friends and some members of the Resistance and Eden’s Gate]Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3  | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? – HURK SR.

Sex:

Who is on top? – most of the time it’s Jacob, though they switch sometimes.

Who is the one to instigate things? – Leslie slightly more than Jacob

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple     weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? – [dear lord this question. real answer: it depends]Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do  they normally last? – Until one (or both) of the two is tired.

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - YUP

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 |  8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? – Three! Twins (Diana and Ezekiel) at first, then a girl (Amelia).

How many children will they adopt? – None really?

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? – hilariously, Jacob

Who is the stricter parent? – Jacob

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? – I see them both trying to keep their children safe tbh, especially Diana, who’s the more rambunctious and the one who attracts danger like moths drawn to light.  

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? – Leslie

Who is the more loved parent? – Both of them are!

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - Leslie – Jacob replaces her from time to time.

Who cried the most at graduation? – Leslie might have had tears in her eyes. Might.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Jacob [his respect for the law hasn’t gotten any better since marrying a deputy sheriff lmao]

Cooking:                       

Who does the most cooking? - Leslie

Who is the pickiest in their food choice? – Jacob [any food that doesn’t have meat will get criticized by him lol]

Who does the grocery shopping? – Leslie usually

How often do they bake desserts? – when they have time! I headcanon the two have a HUGE sweet tooth, besides, baking sounds like a nice bonding activity.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - … I think we know Jacob enough to guess what he would choose. Leslie prefers meat too, but she won’t say no to a salad.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? – Leslie!

Who is more  likely to suggest going out? – I can see Jacob doing this? Just imagine them having a picnic in the mountains or by the lakeside.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidentally while cooking? –  Jacob won’t burn the house down per se, but out of the two, he’d be more likely to do it.

Chores: 

Who cleans the room? – Both!

Who is really against chores? – Neither—having chores to do distracts and relaxes them.

Who cleans up after the pets? – Jacob

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? – Neither!

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? – Leslie, if the guests are people she hasn’t seen in some time / strangers.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? – Jacob

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? – Leslie [she uses all the hot water too and it drives him insane lmao]

Who takes the dog out for a walk? – Jacob [and Leslie goes with him!]

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? – frequently! [I’m imagining them making fun of each other while decorating their home—Jacob taunts Leslie due to her not reaching the higher places, she wraps him in Christmas lights while he’s taking a nap and he always hangs the mistletoe in unconventional places, for example]

What are their goals for the relationship? – To have their damn peace and quiet once and for all.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? – Jacob [let the man sleep he desperately needs it]

Who plays the most pranks? – Leslie! [it isn’t as serious as it was in her     childhood but she still gets a good laugh out of pulling pranks from time     to time].
