vinyl tiles

Vinyl tiles have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. These versatile flooring options offer a range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

One of the key advantages of vinyl tiles is their durability. Made from tough synthetic materials, these tiles are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and daily wear and tear. This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways.

In addition to being durable, vinyl tiles are also extremely easy to maintain. Unlike other types of flooring that require regular polishing or waxing, vinyl tiles simply need to be swept or mopped regularly to keep them looking clean and fresh.

Another benefit of vinyl tiles is their water resistance. Unlike wood or laminate flooring which can warp or buckle when exposed to moisture, vinyl tiles are completely waterproof. This makes them an excellent choice for areas prone to spills or humidity.

Vinyl tiles also come in a wide variety of styles and designs, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your space. From realistic wood grain patterns to bold geometric prints, there's a vinyl tile option out there that will suit any aesthetic preference.

If you're looking for a durable, low-maintenance flooring option that offers endless design possibilities, vinyl tiles should definitely be on your radar! Whether you're renovating your home or updating your office space in Cape Town, consider opting for vinyl tiles – they won't disappoint!

For the challenge!

I wondered carefully on which ship to choose to share to you all, and made my mind on Catherine and Christopher. Not the Dollangangers, the Roachs, from a novel called Relations (also known as The Story of the Weasel, as Cathy thinks of Chris as being weasel like and the book is about him and their relationship). Their canonical relationship, by the way. Unlike the Dollangangers, this Cathy and Chris have a fully consensual relationship (albeit they do start to engage in sex at a way too young of an age), but they don't get a happy ending. At least not in the book, but that's why we have headcanon and post canon fics.

When I say they started their relationship at a very early age, I mean that Cathy was only 10, while Chris was still only 12. It all starts when they find their deceased father's porn collection. I don't think they could have truly known what they were seeing, but that didn't stop them from mimicking it.

“Christopher regarded me strangely, and moved in my direction. He told me to lie down on the floor. I obeyed unquestioningly. He looked at me darkly it seemed, with piercing clarity, for he knew the exact nature of my thoughts at that moment. I, of my own accord, removed my undergarments, and placed them beneath my head. I had a strange view of him thus; he seemed very tall from my lowly position on the floor. He seemed dominant with the red bulb glowing; but a slight nervousness hovered about his eyes. I smiled at him. He lay down on top of me, and put his member inside my body.”

When recalling this scene later, Cathy feels a “small throbbing in [her] private parts”, so even after all this time, she still gets turned on by the thought of her brother.

Around the same time Cathy and Chris started to experience sexually, their Mamma began to date Richard, the Frenchman. One day, when Cathy was eleven, Mamma has Cathy deliver a letter to the Frenchman and he has her try on a corset over her clothes, since she was too shy to remove them, and then gifts her a pair of white silk stockings. The next day, Chris returns the stocking to the Frenchman, telling him his sister has no need for such clothing.

The Frenchman is a pervert and Chris gets very concerned about his interest on Cathy. He gets jealous of it as her 'boyfriend' and protective as her brother.

When Cathy catches pneumonia, Chris helps to nurse her back to health and keeps her company while she lays in bed.

“The fever would not leave me. But nor did my brother. […] He held my head patiently and his eyes never shut in his vigil.” “I think now that Christopher and I half-died together in that terrible week, and afterwards, when the terror had passed, we were never quite the children we had been before.”

About an year goes by and Chris tells Cathy that they shouldn’t have sex anymore, and Cathy gets upset. He tells her that later, when she is grown up, she might come to regret their relationship, and he doesn’t wants that, which is why he is breaking it up. Cathy, however, hates that they were breaking up and is very hurt.

“‘I don’t think it’s right for us to do it - being brother and sister. I mean I’ve always known - or rather always felt more than known - that it wasn’t right.’ […] ‘No. And I don’t know what you’re talking about. It is better because we are brother and sister, because we really know each other; we are the same. I cannot see that it is bad.’”

We known from her narration at, even at an older age, Cathy never came to regret her relationship with Chris. In fact, she only gets married with someone else because Chris keeps pushing her away.

After the breakup, Chris moves to his uncle's farm in Cape Town to get far away from Cathy.

“I cannot imagine what I will do without you, Cath: I cannot imagine a day without your face, or your sweet companionship.  I do love you. But this must be for the best.”

Chris remains away for a long time, only returning after five years when Cathy was nineteen. They have a heartfelt conversation and, at night, after the rest of the house has gone to sleep, he visit’s Cathy’s room. She asks to cuddle with him until she falls asleep and he agrees, climbing into her bed. Just when they are kissing, their older brother, Edward (who I had neglected to mention until now) lunges into the room, catching them together. He explained that he had always suspected something, but it wasn’t until he had grown up that he understood the noises he heard coming from Chris and Cathy’s bedroom. He orders Chris out of the house and Cathy weeps, begging Chris to stay and denying to Edward that anything has happened.

Chris leaves as ordered and goes back to South Africa. Eventually, he enlists as a soldier at the Boer War. From the war front, he writes Cathy a letter, telling her that he still loves her. The book ends like this, with Chris in Cape Town and Cathy trapped in a unloving marriage.

But that doesn't stop me from creating scenarios in which Chris goes home to England as a war hero and and he and Cathy run away together. The story is set in 1900, back when it was easier to disappear and start again. Maybe after the war, Cathy goes looking for Chris and they get married in a land where no one knows they are siblings. They have loved each other their whole life, there's no reason to assume that they won't find their way back to each other.

A few more quotes that I want to include but I didn't know where to place them:

"I did not find it sinful; the closeness between my brother and me was a true joy; it sustained me in my darkest moments, and indeed still does to this day, though tempered with much sorrow now." "Because even on that day, which was the beginning of a singular relationship between my brother and I, even on that day there was a spiritual and love bond between us." “I would not be so oppressed if I could but feel that my past was wicked and scandalous. If I believed that, I could gladly submit to the institution or the grave. But some buoyant spirit within me keeps insisting that what I had was fine, and contained elements of true beauty hard to capture in any existence.” “The old house creaked and groaned, and in the darkness I only felt secure because I was close to my brother.”

Even if I don't win, I really appreciate the opportunity to talk about my favourite Chris and Cathy. No shade to the Dollangangers, but Chris and Cathy Roach are the better ones. Their story was left unfinished by the author, allowing us to make them whatever we want them to be. I love the angst on Chris's part, him being scared that he's taking advantage or corrupting his sister, while all that Cathy wants is to be with him.

It's a lovely book. The only reason I don't tell everyone to go read it is that it's very hard to find, as it has been out of print since forever (afaik, there has only been two prints of the book). There a few copies being sold on Amazon, so if you like incest books, try to grab one while you can.

XoXo, @litcest (since I can only send asks in my main blog)

Thank you for a good write-up as usual! I hate endings like this, and I certainly wish your interpretation of it was canon. Also, while they started their relationship early, there's no grooming or icky age gap, this I appreciate much.

Posting Date: November 3, 2022

Summary: Cas has been in love with rock sensation Johnson Wisconsin for as long as he can remember. Blonde ponytailed, cowboy shirted, acoustic guitar playing Johnson is a far cry from the green eyed Dean Winchester, who throws himself into Cas’s path after a concert one night. Cas has to answer a question: can he love two men at once? One, so far out of reach, and the other, who he’s keeping at arm’s length? OR The Hannah Montana AU that no one asked for.

Excerpt: And Cas <i>certainly</i> doesn’t have a crush. Cas is forty-three years old, an investment banker with a diverse portfolio of investments. He owns his own car, pays his bills promptly on the first of the month and has his suits dry cleaned. Cas does not have a crush. Still, it doesn’t explain the fluttery sort of feeling he gets in the pit of his stomach when the guy walks onto the talk show stage, waving at the crowd with his blonde ponytail bouncing behind him. Cas can take or leave the ponytail, if he’s honest, but the rest of the guy is <i>hot</i>.  Johnson Wisconsin—a stage name, real name as yet unconfirmed by the message boards that Cas frequents with embarrassing regularity—is 6’1, broad across the shoulders, and decidedly <i>not</i> from Wisconsin. The small town in Kansas where he grew up has yet to claim him as their own, and despite the best efforts of the more Nancy Drew minded in the forums, they haven’t been able to find trace of a blonde haired, blue-eyed, angel-voiced crooner growing up anywhere near the Midwest. “Please, be quiet,” Cas growls at his guests as the tinny applause from the audience dies down on the screen. He waves his hand in Charlie’s general direction and her replying snort of laughter is loud enough to cover up the host’s first question. “Cas has a cruuuuuuuush!” She singsongs, with giddy delight in her voice. She’s sitting cross-legged on the couch next to him, wearing a pair of Cas’s sweats and Stevie’s plaid shirt wrapped around her shoulders like a cape. In front of her, Stevie sits on a cushion on the floor so she can play with her hair in between sips of the red wine she’s drinking from a mug. The impromptu sleepover had occurred after Cas’s third failed date of the month had told him not to call him anymore, so he had called Charlie instead in a fit of melodrama. Charlie, who has had her share of bad dates in a long, sordid dating past, had driven herself and her wife over, tanked half a bottle of wine and then promptly ‘lost’ her car keys. Cas doesn’t mind, not really. He’s glad of the company, however scrutinised he may feel under Charlie’s all-knowing gaze.  At least, he <i>had</i> been glad of the company, until Charlie started teasing him about what <i>definitely</i> isn’t a crush on the singer laughing on his television screen. “It’s not a crush, Charlie,” Cas says, frowning. According to Charlie, he frowns over 60% of the time (he had to believe her—she coded an algorithm to measure it), and it’s her sole duty as his best friend to reverse that. Hence, the dates. Hence, the company. Hence, the wine. The screen is flashing green and blue with all of Wisconsin’s previous album covers. “I like his music very much.”

“Ah, lips that say one thing, while the heart thinks another.” ( garland / falsestalwart )

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO (BOOK) SENTENCE STARTER  ↳ @falsestalwart

how many times had they gone through this same song and dance? how many times did she recall rejecting him? or were all those times just dreams - or nightmares really? oh mother, oh father… what would they think if they saw her now? here in this dark place all her hopes for the future seemed to dim. she thought of the prophecy and began to wonder if it was true that the warriors of light would be there to save the world and perhaps even save her. there was nothing here but darkness and it threatened to choke her. it left her scared. what's more was that she also felt scared of garland. his once magnificent armor that glistened in the bright cornelian sunlight was now terrifying to behold. his height had also never truly bothered her before, but now it seemed as if he towered over her and it intimidated her.

and through it all she hated how she felt. she wanted to feel safe with him. she wanted to trust him again, and… though she'd probably never admit it out loud, she wanted to stay with him, to be with him, and forgot that everything that had happened, had never happened. would it be so wrong if she did? she knew it would. she longed for the comfort of his hand in her's again and knew it must never be. that's why she had stood firm (or at least she hoped she had) in admonishing him for she had to return home. there were people back home that loved her, desired her company, and counted on her too. she needed to return.

"sir garland, i do not understand. why would you do such a cruel thing? i hardly think a rejected marriage proposal is grounds for kidnapping."

the briefest of flashes danced in her mind's eye as she closed her eyes for just a second. the dreams she had had of the two of them dancing, taking lunch in garden, strolling through town for a walk and so much more… all she ever wanted was to be with him despite their social statuses.

of course that was when garland replied, "Ah, lips that say one thing, while the heart thinks another."

her eyes flew open then and she felt the blood rush to her cheeks. she turned her gaze towards the stone flooring and clenched her fists to her side. he knew her so well, and she was rather ashamed to admit that she did want to stay with him, but… wasn't it wrong to want such things under such circumstances? was it wrong to want it even when she could feel the storm of darkness within him that had not been there before?

a soft breeze blew through the cracks in the chaos shrine causing his cape to rustle in the breeze and strands of her mint green hair to rustle as well. it sent a shiver up her spine as her fine, pure white dress danced in the light breeze and she felt goosebumps raise on her arms and her exposed shoulders. she caught of flash of light shimmer in the reflection of the ominous purple crystal behind garland and recognized the object as one of the gifts she had given him long ago. tears sprang forth to her eyes and she wondered why fate had to be so cruel to taunt and tease her so. perhaps everything that had happened in the months before had been leading to this moment - their arrival at the chaos shrine.

for a second she wondered if he had outstretched her hand to her but she realized that was an image from one of her dreams. she had always woken up before taking it or not taking it - she could never make up her mind, but now… now she knew what choice she would take and she would take that choice with her to the grave. she would never tell another soul in all her life. it was a secret with reasons that she, and she alone, would carry.

she outstretched her hand this time with her bracelet dangling from her wrist and a pained smile on her face, she said, "it is true my heart thinks something else entirely and i feel that we have gone through this before, but this time i am offering myself to you, garland. i will remain here with you and be your companion in these dark times."

until the warriors of light came she would remain here by his side, unwavering in her decision even if those she held dear would hate her for it.

jason and damian hang out on a rooftop after dick gets injured. it goes very fine and normal

complicated emotions about your parents are a gender-neutral experience

“I don't require company, Todd,” Damian says stiffly, from where he’s crouched on the lip of the hospital roof. His arms are crossed, resting on his knees; his whole body is a coil of anger. He’s still wearing the costume. There’s blood on his cape, his gauntlets, a splash of it across one shoulder. In the light drifting up from the street below, it looks black. Eleven floors below them, Dick Grayson is hooked up to three IVs, a respirator, and a heart rate monitor whose steady beep fails to be reassuring. The official story is that he’d been hit by a bus. The unofficial story is that Talia al Ghul had been in town, and Nightwing had gotten in between her and her son.

THE FLYING RED HORSE MAGNOLIA'S FLYING RED HORSE When the 400-foot-tall Magnolia Petroleum building opened in 1922, it was the city’s first skyscraper – and tallest building west of the Mississippi River. With 29 floors and seven elevators, the Magnolia building towered over the nearby Adolphus Hotel, built in 1913. The Magnolia also was first high rise in the United States to have air conditioning, according to the management company that acquired the building in 1997. Today, with much of the original architecture’s classical design and gold leaf restored in 1999, the Dallas Magnolia Hotel has become a “boutique hotel” blending its past with modern amenities. After the 1922 opening, a local reporter described the Magnolia – which cost the oil company $4 million to build – as “a great peg driven into the ground holding Dallas in its place.” In 1925, when Standard Oil Company of New York (Socony) acquired Magnolia Petroleum Company, the Dallas headquarters building was included. Nine years later Pegasus would land on the roof. The flying red horses began their journey in 1911, when a Vacuum Oil Company subsidiary in Cape Town, South Africa, first trademarked the Pegasus logo. Based in Rochester, New York, Vacuum Oil had built a successful petroleum lubricants business around an 1869 patent by its founder, Hiram Everest, long before gasoline was even a branded product. At first, a stylized red gargoyle advertised the company, which produced the earliest petroleum-based lubricants for horse-drawn carriages and steam engines. The Pegasus trademark proved to be a more enduring image. In Greek mythology, Pegasus – a winged horse – carried thunderbolts for Zeus. By 1931 growth of the automobile industry expanded the Vacuum Oil product lineup to include Pegasus Spirits and Mobilgas – later simplified to Mobil. When Standard Oil of New York and Vacuum Oil combine to form Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, the new company adopted the familiar winged trademark, as does an affiliate, Magnolia Petroleum. It took a year to build the rotating 35-foot by 40-foot Pegasus sign. It first beamed its red neon glow in 1934, welcoming the first annual meeting to be held in Dallas by the American Petroleum Institute. For decades the emblem slowly rotated above the growing city as corporate consolidations and mergers changed Socony-Vacuum ownership. In 1955 the name of the company changed to Socony Mobil Oil; in 1966 became just Mobil Oil.

A neon Pegasus displayed at the 1939 New York World’s Fair found its way to a Mobil gas station in Casa Linda, Texas, and later to the Old Red Museum of Dallas County History & Culture – where it’s on exhibit today. In 1974 the petroleum icon’s motor ground to a halt. Mobile Oil moved out of the Magnolia building three years later and sold the aging skyscraper and glowing but unmoving sign to the city of Dallas. Twenty-years later, Pegasus’ neon lights finally went out. As a Denver-based developer restored and transformed the deteriorating Magnolia building into a luxurious 330 room hotel in the late 1990s, a group of patrons and corporate partners joined in to bring the broken and rusty Pegasus sign back to life. They raised more than $600,000 for the project Project Pegasus targeted New Year’s Eve of 1999 and dawn of the new millennium to reintroduce Dallas citizens to their petroleum heritage landmark. Restoration of the 8,000-pound sign proved challenging. The derrick-like tower structure was reparable and the old mechanical rotation system could be updated with new technology. But time and weather had damaged the porcelain coated steel signage and neon tubing. New 16-gauge steel panels had to be cut, using the originals as templates. Only two facilities in the United States were large enough to accommodate baking the emblematic red porcelain onto the new panels; fortunately, both were in Dallas. More than 1,000 feet of new neon tubing was required to trace the familiar outlines as craftsmen and technicians remained faithful to the original. The efforts of all were rewarded at midnight on December 31, 1999, when fireworks and millennium celebrations welcomed Pegasus back to the Dallas skyline. Problems led to the sign being turned off in March 2013 until restored in June by Starlite Sign of Denton, Texas. Although cost of fixing the machinery that once turned the structure was too high to attempt, even stationary, “the new lights will glow from dusk until dawn,” said a city official. The public art manager for the Office of Cultural Affairs manages its maintenance. Kay Kallos, manager of the department proclaimed, “The Pegasus sign is a beloved icon of the city of Dallas.” Courtesy Historical Society of American Oil and Gas."

My family has a tradition of going on vacation in Cape cod.

We would rent a house, not big, just enough for two weeks. We drove from our shitty little town in Massachusetts, our suitcases and bags in the trunk, my stuffed animals at my feet.

I always remember crossing that green bridge. God I hated it. Old and Rickey and so much traffic. But I held up my stuffed companions so they could watch as we passed the water.

The first time is little but blurry memories now. I was 4 or 5. I remember watching SpongeBob in a dark room, other kids sleeping across the floor in blankets and sleeping bags. I remember a slip and slide, the rocks hurt my belly but I didn't mind. I don't think anyone else remembers. I do.

The second year there was no cape. We went up to the mountains to visit my Great uncle and his wife. "She's not well so we're going to keep them company" I remember my mother saying. I remember fireflies and the smell of rusty swings and wet dirt churned up by the rain, scary stories and s'mores. My brother yelling at some older boys who tried to scare me by telling me there was a bear who only ate girls with blonde hair.

The third we go with family friends. I remember eating raspberries off bushes in the rental, taking turns throwing rocks at garbage, playing on an old exercise bike. I remember our friend's dad walking into a screen door. Swimming on an empty dark beach and playing chicken.

The fourth and fifth time we went with my uncle and my cousin. I loved playing hide and seek with my uncle, I always won because he couldn't hear. My cousin was distant, she was older. She did my makeup and told me stories about boys. She doesn't talk to us anymore. I loved the beach and the towns. I felt safe I felt happy and welcome.

The faith we went with my cousins. I hated it. They were mean, they broke my stuff and touched me, opened the bathroom door when I was showering, opened my bedroom door when I was changing. I felt violated. I went home early that year. I didn't feel safe anymore.

The next year there was no more cape. Covid happened, I remember getting a really bad sunburn that year. I wasn't happy anymore.

A couple years after our last vacation we moved away from the coast to the Midwest. No more mountain camping trips, laying in cool grass and watching the stars, playing hide and seek in an unfamiliar house, buying stupid little trophies, keepsakes. I still have a pink wale hat that doesn't fit. I have it on my wall now, a memory and recollection of the past.

I sit at dinner, my brother is at work, it's just me and my parents. We have perogies and spring rolls.

"I wanna go to the cape again before Nate graduates" I pause and shove another hot pierogi in my mouth, "I miss it"

He graduates next year.

They say they would rather take us to Italy or some country that starts with a C, I stop paying attention. I miss the cape. I miss the car ride, the towns, the people. Everything about it. They start talking about plans and I feel like crying.

I want that childlike happiness back, the fun of running across the sand, buying trinkets, and exploring unfamiliar territory.

My family used to visit cape cod.
