#first date disasters

While We Dine

Man! This is going less than great. Don’t you have a mandate for proper behaviour on a first date? Like knowing how to carry a conversation … to reciprocate? For starters, enough about how much time you spend at the gym. And please, I don’t need to see your pecs flex again. I don’t care about how much you can press—hmm. That rhymes with acquiesce and suggest. I digress. When did a muscle vest…

I think one of the best things about dipcifica (both romantic and platonic) is just that neither of them have a clue about what the other person is like.

Like yeah, Dipper doesn't have any idea about modern fashion and other stuff Pacifica values but Pacifica doesn't know either.

And if they even decided to date, both of them are gonna struggle planning it. Dipper 'overthinking' pines for obvious reasons

and Pacifica cuz, what is she supposed to do? Most of what she knows isn't going to work with Dipper like it would with other people.

Is she supposed to plan a date in the supernatural black market? Do they even have restaurants like the mall does?? Can she even reserve a table???

And what is she supposed to wear? An alien outfit? Dipper likes kissing aliens right? What fashion do aliens even have?!

Remus, taking Regulus to a Muggle café: "So, this is a ‘latte’—" Regulus, sipping it and immediately making a face: "This is bean water." Remus, laughing: "Yeah, pretty much." Regulus, grudgingly taking another sip: "...I hate that I like it."

so for obvious reasons, rye is not generally all that popular with most of the senior watchers. however. I think there is a certain type of younger watcher to whom he is The ultimate hot badboy icon and fantasy. (we're talking about a group of extreme indoor kid goth nerds who've barely been outside. it doesn't take a lot ot achieve bad boy status in this context and the only thing in this world that lasts forever is a bad reputation in a small insular group like the watchers.) it's SO funny because rye thinks of himself as such a disappointing fuckup of a son of the grand necropolis. and meanwhile there are novices kicking their feet and giggling as they're like

'Ingellvar is so cool. no one knows where he's from he was found down here as a baby. mysterious orphan appeal. he could be a secret dalish prince or something for all we know. (*annoyed extra nerd watcher novice voice*: umm actually the dalish don't have princes, merrivar?? read a real book sometime maybe???) he's a rebel. he doesn't care what the senior watchers think no time for politics he just gets the job done. (*small sad rye voice* I care a lot what the senior watchers think actually. a pathetic amount, in fact. it just rarely seems like it helps anything at all) I heard he graduated almost top of his class even though he spent all his time as a student partying up in the city and having a torrid affair with the son of a noble family. sometimes in his spare time he wears a cool punk leather jacket but like the fantasy version of that. he has tattoos apparently but no one's seen them for years. yuh-uh it's true too, I know someone who knows someone he dated once. they say he saw a knife fight once. like, in a bar brawl, with living people. all that, and he's even sneakily emotionally unavailable. *starry-eyed sigh* what a dreamboat'.

needless to say this only grows worse with the events of the game, after he takes out the formless one and rumours start to spread that he maybe killed a god or something too???? and this being nevarra, more importantly he's out there killing dragons with his sworn companions?? like a fucking fairytale prince but with that devil-may-care rebellious streak???? he's the safely unavailable first crush at a distance of many a young watcher. now imagine the reaction when he shows up home for the first time in a year after the war of the banners accompanied by The one true bad boy fantasy to rule them all: literally the sad brooding crown prince of the crows of antiva in leather pants who has WINGS and a dark tortured side of his nature that he has to constantly battle against for the sake of those he loves.

(the perception vs. reality situation for both of these characterizations is. so unspeakably hilarious needless to say. consider how much of the above lucanis characterization is accurate to the person he actually is and then you've basically found the level of distortion lens being applied to rye as well. is most of it technically true? sure. 'technically' is having to do a whole world of heavy lifting there tho fhdfska)

what I'm really saying here is that there is a subsection of this group that's been ferociously writing rye/lucanis rpf from the moment they were seen trotting down into the necropolis depths together (other pairings within the lighthouse gang as a whole, caught in tantalizing glimpses as they visit the necropolis, of course having their own devotees), and when this fandom subgroup eventually discover they were right it's with all the insane glee of a sixteen year old fanfic writer on wattpad (is that still where the kids are these days. idk i'm getting old folks) finding out that their dark mafia prince AU is basically true. varric might be gone but the legacy of friendfiction lives on after him. the king of thedas rpf being the shoulders of titans that young watchers are standing on to write fevered WILDLY inaccurate depictions of the private life of two of the most low-key domestic quietly devoted and undramatic people on the continent, one of them being varric's own poor little meow meow slash mentee, is something that can actually be so personal. rye does not end up terribly famous in the end considering the shit he manages to get done in this game, and he thanks his lucky stars for it. but to a tight-knit community of mourn watch fic writers he is blorbo from my apocalypse. it's all I could have wished for him.

(funniest possible outcome of all this: myrna gets so fucking tired of trying to understand what the novices are being so tittery about that she asks rye 'watcher ingellvar with the realization that this is a long shot and the admission that vorgoth and I have exhausted all other avenues of investigation: do you possess secret insight about what an 'x reader' is. and also 'ship war'. your name seems to come up in this context a surprising amount'. 9000000 points of incoming psychic damage about to hit the fan.)

First Date: Chaggie

Chaggie Week of Firsts - Day 2

-On the hotel back patio-

Razzle: (dressed in an extra spiffy sequined suit with a little top hat and holding a sign saying "I just met you, and this is crazy. But I really like you, so date maybe?") Baaaap!

Dazzle: (also dressed to the nines in sequins with a flower wreath snapped around his neck and a silver platter of chocolates balancing on his head, his super long tongue trying to sneak up and steal a chocolate) Baaaaap!

Charlie: Okay, she'll be here any second now. I'm just going to ask Vaggie out on a date. Nothing too serious. Just... if she says no, then I've basically outed myself and told her I like her. Like like-like her. Then I have to deal with her possibly wanting to leave because she doesn't like girls and is uncomfortable to even be around me!

Razzle: (looking sad) Baaap?

Dazzle: (eyes catch something in the yard, and he excitedly elbows Razzle) Baap! Baap!

Razzle: Baap? (Sees where Dazzle is pointing and grins) Baap!!!

Charlie: (taking a deep breath and not noticing Razzla and Dazzle tiptoe away) Okay, okay, okay, holy shit... I can do this. I'm the Princess of Hell! I can do whatever I want! (Deflates a little) OooOooOOoh!!! Who am I kidding? I'm a wreck! (Sighs) At least I have you guys with me.

-Silence-

Charlie: (face falls) Razzle? Dazzle?

SPLISH!!! SPLASH!!! SQUISH!!!

Charlie: (turns around in horror as she sees the sign, flowers, and chocolate platter scattered across the patio) BOYS!!!!

Razzle & Dazzle: (splashing and rolling around in a mud puddle) Baaap! BaaAAaap!!!

Vaggie: (slightly nervous as she steps onto the patio) Hey, Charlie. You wanted to talk to me?

Charlie: Vaggie?! H-Hi!!! Uh, just a sec! (Turns to the demon goats as her horns grow) Razzle! Dazzle! Get out of the mud right now!!! I swear to my dad, that had better just be mud!!!!

Vaggie: Pfft! (Tries to hide her laugh as she looks at the mess on the patio. Her eye catches the sign and she blushes) Uh, Charlie?

Charlie: (horns disappear as she turns back sheepishly) Yes, Vaggie?!

Vaggie: (smiles warmly) Do you need help reining the boys in? Maybe some assistance getting them a bath?

Charlie: (glances out of the corner of her eye)

Razzle: (blows bubbles in the mud pit through his nose)

Dazzle: (rolling somersaults with bleats of joy)

Charlie: (defeated) Yes, please....

Vaggie: (gives Charlie a quick peck on the cheek) It's a date. (Turns to Razzle and Dazzle and squares her shoulders) Alright, you two tin can connisours! Get out of the mud before I have to dive in after ya! Don't think I won't!

Razzle & Dazzle: (stop what they're doing briefly, exchange glances, and blow raspberries)

Vaggie: Oh! That is it! (Launches herself off the patio)

Charlie: (hearts in her eyes as she touches the spot on her cheek that Vaggie kissed)

Your sky bl boys distinguished, functional, disaster chart based on my hc

Some more thoughts:

Yeah I believe in my heart that fahrak are greyaroace4greyaroace (also rak is pan and fah bi), both are sex and romance favorable. Therefor they have no idea that their relationship toward love and sex are actually not like everyone bc they are just THAT attracted toward each other and they have no negative feelings over it. For me they only experience it for few people and mostly each other, actually I think while Fah had experience romantic attraction toward his ex, he didn't sexual one (also I'm aroace so I love seeing more aroacespect relationship even if this one is basically an allo one)

I put Teerak in functional bc I feel overall he is pretty functional, sure he can overthink making him have few disaster moments but I think he did try to do his best and it's not as much as Fah lmao. For me Rak is in between functional and disaster but a little bit more in functional

Actually for me Real is demi gay, but I thought it would be fun to have everyone in their own case so I choose to put him in gay

Honestly I would have put Hia in functional too, but few last episodes make me realize he is disaster lol

I actually think Lee is pan but I forget to change the section in bi/pan and then got lazy

Leeghlai are the superior queers and you can't change my mind, Fah, Real and Hia are actually lost without Lee

[coffeecatcraze]

So I've seen some comments about how once Charlie and Vaggie patch up their relationship, Vaggie will have to deal with "fell from heaven" and other angel-related pickup lines from Charlie, but honestly that might be giving Charlie too much credit. I love her, but I'm not sure she could manage to get through pickup lines like that, even with her own girlfriend she's been with for years. She's precious and sweet and loving, but I do not have full faith in her ability to flirt coherently, especially if she's actively trying to do it.

But you know what I'd love to see? Angel teasingly throwing those lines at Vaggie. Not with any kind of flirty intent (obviously, he's gay and she's a lesbian in a very committed relationship), but as his way of casually showing her he still cares about her even knowing the truth about her past. Accompanied by Vaggie pretending to be pissed, but actually knowing what he's trying to say and appreciating it. Him tossing angel-related pickup lines at her every few days and her insincerely telling him to shut the fuck up would be so good, and a great way for his care and support to show through within the bounds of their existing dynamic.

Hi!!! Ooooh There is so much to choose 🤪🥰💕❓️💻💖🤝🤖🌎🥵

omg just go ahead and make me write everything lol (affectionate) I couldn't keep myself to strictly 3 sentences for all of these, so they vary a bit 🥰

🤪 - clumsy

first time in MONTHS I've written anything for this wip 🥰

This lasted for approximately five minutes before the bell went off and he found himself piling into the truck next to Eddie. He'd tried to slip into another seat, but Chimney had gotten there first and shot him a curious glance. After that, Buck had resigned himself to his fate and sat down beside the love and torturer of his life.

🥰 - confession / surprise date

this one ran away with me a little, how exciting!!

Eddie's lips parted in surprise as Buck began ladling the stew into their bowls. Buck was nervous, accidentally moving a bit too quick and splashing some sauce out of the bowl onto Eddie's shirt.

"Shit! Sorry," he said, moving the dish back to the island bench and taking a step to go and fetch a wash cloth.

Before he could get far, Eddie grabbed his arm and gently reeled him in until he was standing right beside Eddie's chair, looking down at him.

"Relax," Eddie said softly.

"I just want it to be perfect," Buck said. "But now I've already gotten food on you and we haven't even eaten anything yet and–"

Pushing his chair back to stand up, Eddie silenced him with a kiss.

💕 - first kiss

Eddie wasn't sure what to say to that. The truth was he was scared, but he knew he needed to face this no matter what. If Buck had picked up on enough to think they were dancing around each other, that had to mean something.

❓ - is this a date?

It turned out that there was only one table left, which Buck accepted eagerly.

"Alright, up you get," Buck said once the booking was finalised and he'd hung up the phone. "There was only one slot left and it's for 6:45, so we've gotta hustle."

Eddie let out an exaggerated groan as he got to his feet.

💻 - eddie's online friend

this is a goldmine that I completely forgot about lol. I might have to share more snippets at some point.

Stranded: so?

Stranded: are you gonna ask him if he's into men?

GI: stop asking me that

💖 - sorry but I fell in love tonight

Buck watched in delight as the fear drained out of Eddie's face, replaced with wonder.

that's all I've got in me for this one atm

🤝 - touches

The next escalation comes one evening as they're curled up on Eddie's couch together. Eddie sits between Buck's legs, his back to Buck's chest, when Buck takes a risk and slides his hands up the man's thighs. Eddie hums, happy, and tips his head back.

After that, they kiss whenever they can.

🤖 - who's got a crush

a few extra lines for this one as well 🥰

Had Buck really just said what he thought he'd said? No, he couldn't have. Eddie must have misheard.

"Sorry, what?" he asked, giving his head a slight shake.

"Oh my god, Dad!" Chris exclaimed, rolling his eyes dramatically. "He wants to have your babies!"

"Christopher!" Buck wheezed.

🌎 - alternate universe

How could he be right about when Christopher was coming back, but wrong about so many other things? Why didn't he have any memory whatsoever of getting married to Eddie? It couldn't be amnesia, because he had too many other memories all packed into his brain.

🥵 - that's hot

A moment later he heard footsteps and turned to see Bobby and Eddie walking towards him. Bobby looked extremely proud, and Eddie looked…

"Marry me," Eddie said, eyes fixed on Buck's face.

WIP Wednesday

Tagged by @exhuastedpigeon, @fortheloveofbuddie, @disasterbuckdiaz, @forthewolves and @giddyupbuck You are so wonderful and I'm so excited for what it is to come ya'll!

Not much else to say, NFL Buck. Here is a bit more from Buck and Eddie's first date.

“He’s a good kid. Don’t break his heart.” The older man warned, who Eddie later learned was Red, the owner of the restaurant and a retired fireman. Evan had changed out of his jersey and sweats, into nice khakis and a soft pink sweater that made his birthmark stand out even more. Eddie clenched his fist tight, fighting down the urge to reach out and press his thumb to the pink splotch, cupping the younger man’s face in his hand. He gets a few more steps closer to the table before Evan notices him and his entire demeanor lights up.  Once again Eddie feels his heart skip a beat the moment the guy smiles and he immediately panics. And in his panic, he blurts out… that. Evan startles back a bit, eyes going wide, completely taken by surprise and then he begins to laugh. A full body laugh that makes every nerve ending in Eddie’s body fizzle with fervor. Whoa.  He had only felt this kind of warmth with his son, and he wanted to chase it right back to the source. So, he does.

Eddie is a gay disaster who hasn't realized he's a gay disaster and it was so fun to write. Hope you all enjoyed! If you want to see more NFL Buck just go here.

[hope-ur-ok]

Hi! Part of my work involves researching ownership and operations of old mines - I might be able to help with the mine research you’re doing! What’s the full name and any aliases of the mine? Location (state, county, nearby towns)? Years of operations? Full names of companies that owned and/or operated the mine and the time period each company was associated with the mine?

You’re right that a lot of the old operational info isn’t digitized and publicly available online but a lot of areas have historical societies that will scan and email you documents for free. Sometimes it’s just about finding the right place/person to ask.

Hi!! First thank you so much for offering, I would take any help people can give me, I know it's just a personal project and not really important but even though I don't know what I'm gonna do with all the research when it's done it's still important to me, you know.

Anyway, I've tried to find everything I can, which is unfortunately not much, especially for Jamison No.7. Both mines were in Barrackville, WV, Marion County. Jamison No.7 was owned by Jamison Coal and Coke Company - if it was never sold it would have ended up under Consolidation Coal Company with the other Jamison Mines but it would have been closed before 1950 and the Jamison Mines changed hands in 1954 so I'm not sure how helpful that info is. (Honesty the Jamison coal and coke had 3 major disasters in their numbered mines before joining consul and another after so finding info about just one mine is muddy.) It starts appearing in the mine reports in 1910 so I assume that it opened in either 1909 or 1910, and it disappears from the report in 1921 so that would have to be when it was either closed or sold to Bethlehem, but I have been unable to find any specific dates. Bethlehem No.41 is still owned by Bethlehem Steel Corp (or Bethlehem Mining Corp - I've seen both listed) and it for sure closed on 2/15/1983. It starts appearing in the mine reports starting in 1921 as well but again I can't find a date for either it's opening or acquisition. You might see No.41 listed as just No.41 or as Barrackville No.41.

Introducing my Bridgerton OC I suppose (ngl name may change - esp last name still figuring it out) @loveeari

Name: Aethelred/Aether (Ethel) Beckworth

[read more below the cut]

Age: somewhere between 18-21 (around the same age as Eloise Bridgerton - however depending on what point in the story that they enter will change things)

Gender: Nonbinary (doesn't technically label themselves within the story)

Pronouns: He/She (by those within story - conversations outside of story are often used with they/them pronouns)

Description: Aether has short-ish hair that curls, often considered a touch too 'loose' for the style of the age, making very little effort to change it throughout their stay in the ton. They are of mixed heritage and have a skin tone similar to that of the Duke of Hastings and are constantly dressed impeccably. Whilst outside amoungst society they often times prefer to wear the masculine clothing of the era, however when in private feel more free to experiment with both masculine and feminine looks (growing their hair but wearing men's clothes, keeping their hair short and wearing dresses,, binding whilst in a dress, etc etc)

Backstory:

Ethel was the only child of wealthy Viscount who wished for heirs - however after learning that she was a 'girl' and that Ethel's mother could not produce anymore children the Viscount decided he wanted very little to do with his wife nor child and sent them both to live on a small(er) property by themselves.

Thanks to the home and property being quite small there was not a lot of staff and the ones that were there became rather fond of Ethel's mother rather quickly and in turn the child as well and didn't really comment too much on how they were raised.

Due to this Ethel's mother raised them with a lot of freedom - she of course taught them about all the 'ladylike' things they'd later need to know but also allowed Ethel to occasionally dress in boy/masculine clothing, help out with work if they wanted to and occasionally cut off their hair. Additionally Ethel was taught a lot of things - along with the more stereotypical 'feminine things' that the women of high society would need to know (sewing, mending, caring for children, behaving around other women and men, etc etc) Ethel's mother also wanted to give them the best chance at life and was alright with teaching them other things that were more 'taboo' that men might know (such as how children are created for one) and was fond of feminist literature and constantly was happy to teach Ethel these sorts of things.

Ethel's father died quite a bit before their mother did - however even then the child and mother didn't really live in the main estate for most of the time.

However as Ethel was entering adulthood their mother became gravely ill - soon they would have to call a doctor. Before this however Ethel's mother warned them that there was very little chance they'd be able to continue living as themselves if society found out how they lived here and so before the doctor arrived Ethel made a choice and decided to abandon a lot of their more 'effeminate' items and instead embraced the more androgynous or masculine items that they owned, styling their hair shorter and by the time the doctor arrived they were calling themselves 'Aethelred' and were considered the son of Viscount and Viscountess Beckworth. Thanks to their father's shame around the child not many knew of his child other then their father's sister - their aunt who was never told of the gender of the child and was able to believe that this was a boy too.

Upon their aunt coming to get them she decided that they still needed to attempt to find a wife during the next season - Aethelred eventually decided, however planned to simply not become betrothed to anyone throughout the season and simply live the rest of their life as a bachelor and travel.

However after getting to Mayfair they eventually caught the attention of one Eloise Bridgerton and after a while of back and forth the two of them decided to format a plan that would aide both of their interests through a 'marriage' (more like lavender marriage lmao)
