Good Omens meeting in Prague 31.5. - 2.6.2024
Thank you so much @cliopadra and others for making this weekend such a joyful experience! 🥰
31.5. Friday
I've travelled from Brno to Prague by train with three other czech GO fans I hadn't met before but we booked 4 seats around the same table so we could had a nice chat on the way to Prague. I've learned that Brno is too damn small since there is a university faculty and people connecting us all. :D <3
The meeting at the evening meeting all others (there was cca 40 of us) was at Andělský Pivovar restaurant in Prague (which could be translated as Angel Brewery :)) I was absolutely ngked by the wonderful bags cliopadra made us with a 'feather pen', their stickers and a small black booklet which each had a different front (with quotes and motives from Good Omens), I chose To The World :) 😊 and also and further during the weekend I got more gifts from fellow fans, NGK, thank you!

1.6. Saturday
We were supposed to have a picnic this day on Petřín (a hill in Prague) but some demon was messing too much with the rainy weather so we had an indoor picnic :). There was so much food since everybody brought something! :D <3 I wish I had bigger stomach to try it all :D. The wings gingerbread were amazing and I felt like at Christmas :) <3.

2.6. Sunday
We had a walk through the Prague centre themed about angels and demons and the final lunch. The funniest moment was when we went to St. Nicolaus church and I am admiring the frescos and ceiling and I hear laughing so I look at my right and our cosplay Crowley is surreptitiously hopping on one leg. All of us started laughing so rather we left the church :D <3.
During the weekend we also send the black booklets clio gave us around so people could leave a message. These are in mine. Also I asked Clio to draw me Izzy from OFMD which they did absolutely perfectly, I am in love with it! (thank you Clio! :) <3) (I asked if they can doodle me Izzy and they asked, 'What is your favourite ship?' and I said, 'Just Izzy and happiness.' :D <3)

I am still half ded and my social battery is empty but it was wonderful to meet all of you! ❤🥰

Random Hangman Story Idea of the Day-
hopefully an actual writer takes over this story and writes it. Please someone- take it!
Jake giving up his Christmas leave to Bob because he finds out Bob’s sister just welcomed a new baby and he knows how much the WSO wants to be home for the holidays. So Hangman goes to Admiral Simpson and requests to give his leave away anonymously. When Cyclone calls Floyd in to tell him, Bob is so happy to get to see his family, he doesn’t think about who could have given him this gift and just heads out to pack.
The Friday before Christmas, as everyone who has the time off leaves, those stuck in Miramar start making their own plans. Bradley and Phoenix are about to head out for some last minute shopping before they begin their holidays at Mav and Ice's home, when they see a light on in Jake’s apartment. They head up to investigate, shocked when the cocky pilot answers the door, expecting him to be halfway to Texas at this point.
Natasha realizes pretty quickly how Bob was able to make it home and asks Jake about it. The blond explains how he didn't need to go home, his parents wouldn't want him there, and soon he is being invited by the two other aviators to join their festivities. Hangman declines, convinced it was a pity invite and that no one actually wants him there. Bradley and Nat beg him to reconsider but head out when it's clear their teammate isn't going to change his mind.
On Saturday, December 23rd, Jake runs around the mostly deserted Top Gun base with his air pods in. He’s about to start his fourth lap when someone grabs his shoulder- it’s Maverick, looking just as surprised as Jake is to see him there. The two chat amicably for a bit when Pete brings up Christmas. Assuming this is his Captains way of trying to see if Hangman is going to crash their family dinner, Jake explains that while he appreciates the offer he doesn't want to impose, especially after such an emotional few months for Mav and his family (reconnecting with Bradley, Ice's cancer battles). Maverick tells Jake that there is nothing they wouldn't love more than if the blond would join them, even joking about how low key the whole event will be since Ice used to do the seven fishes on Christmas Eve and the big Christmas Ham and both Pete and Bradley are hopeless in the kitchen. Jake still seems unsure, to which Mav asks him to think about it and leaves him be.
All this leads to Jake Hangman Seresin arriving at Pete and Tom's house with a handful of groceries and presents on Christmas Eve morning, insisting on cooking to earn his place at the table. Of course his captain informs him he is meant to be a guest, but everybody stops fighting it as seven courses of delicious seafood find it's way to the dinner table. The group spends the night eating, drinking, watching Christmas movies and just spending fun time together, Jake having the best holiday he can ever remember. And as they all bid each other goodnight and head off to their different guest rooms, Hangman can't help but thank his hosts for having him. Tom and Pete just smile at the young man they are ready to adopt and tell him it's their pleasure, ushering the pilot off to bed so they can place the numerous wrapped presents they purchased for Jake under their tree, excited to see his reaction the next morning.
When that reaction ends up being tears for finally finding the family he always dreamed of Jake will find himself subjected to a lot of hugs on Christmas morning.
Tumblr media
And yes, Brisket might be one of the presents waiting for Jake under the tree 🥰

Could you do Jack Russell from Werewolf By Night with number 6, please? Thank you! 🥰✨
A/N - Hello! Thanks for requesting this, I hope you like it :)
Hazel
Summary - Jack never thought he would meet his soulmate in the way he did.
Tumblr media
Warnings - Just fluff and Angst
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jack was used to grey, from the moment he was born he thought all the world was meant to be grey.
His mother warned him about seeing the world all grey, after testing his vision and noticing how he didn’t know his colors.  Everyone saw grey as little babies and children, but once you hit puberty and go into young adulthood, you could meet your soulmate at any time.  It was all about timing, which Jack thought he never had in his corner as he got older and his vision was still in different shades of grey.  
Seeing others happy with getting their mates and enjoying the joys of seeing colors around them, Jack couldn’t help but be jealous.  He had other demons to deal with, including becoming a werewolf as a young teenager and dealing with that nightmare in itself.  Yet still, even through the torment and pain of transformations once a month and hunting monsters, Jack longed to have someone in his life.  Yet his Lycanthropy came at a major price: the lives of others always would be in jeopardy.  No matter the plenty of scenarios he played in his head, each one would always end in tragedy.  
Hope for love would slip through his fingers, so he placed it on the back burner in his life.
He still worked as a monster hunter, going around the world and taking out so many monsters from the small to the massive.  He also got a better handle on changing into a werewolf, which helped him plan out any weekend plans he would have to do for his transformation.  Jack only occupied his mind with things that he could control, which helped his mental health when it felt low.  Nothing else was harboring his thoughts, and as of late the last thing he was thinking about was finding his soulmate.  
Up until one afternoon during a camping trip.
This month’s full moon was on a Saturday night, which was the perfect time for him to camp out at a campsite in the middle of the woods starting on a Friday and leaving by Monday morning.  He loved camping, it was more of a therapy for him since it would calm his mind before booming a werewolf.  Jack would meditate under the stars and beneath the threes, breathing in the cooler air into his lungs and touching the rich soil under his fingers.  Of course, it made his transformations more bearable, finding campsites that were mostly out of the way and not near any kind of town or city.  
This particular Monday he was on his way home, freshly showered thanks to the showers at the campsite and insanely hungry.  The general store a few miles away from the campsite had a Convenience Store.  Jack walked in and over to the breakfast section, seeing the remade breakfast sandwiches that were already wrapped in sheep material with grease stains and a few yogurt parfaits that were in the cooler.  He grabbed one of each and a bottle of orange juice too, not registering the front door opening and bells being heard.
“Hey, you!” Said the store manager at the register, “Weren’t you supposed to be here yesterday?”
“Sorry,” A warm voice floated in the air as Jack was humbling with the food in his hands to get them held tight, “I was held up at the store since my dad is sick.  He gives his condolences, I’m actually going to get him some medicine. Do we have any?”
“Sure thing, honey.  The medicine is in the back of the door,” The manager answered her, Jack still not paying attention as he was trying to get a good grip on his breakfast.  But of course, he was more of a klutz than anything, turning just in time to run into the very woman who was speaking moments earlier. The food fell all over the floor, nothing major spilling but Jack’s cheeks were already red in embarrassment.  
“I am so sorry!” He said in a flustered manner, kneeling down to get his food off the floor.
“That was my fault, honestly! I wasn’t looking where I was going—“ the woman reasoned with Jack as she knelt to help him pick up the food too.  Jack was about to argue that he could do it himself when something started to happen.  It made him freeze up, almost blinking to make sure he wasn’t being tricked in the mind.  
The breakfast sandwich was no longer grey, but yellow.
Then it was the wooden floor below them, a deep brown that was stained and reflecting off the lights above him.  The blue mixture whirling in the slushie machine, the red apples next to the oranges, it was all popping out to Jack and eliminating the grey.  Jack was shocked, which seemed like a minimal word for him as the last thing he noticed, was the woman in front of him.
Her long and slender fingers were around his orange juice bottle, bracelets that were of colorful beads hanging off her wrist, and a few freckles that were dancing on the top of her hand.
“Holy shit,” She gasped, Jack shooting his head up and finally seeing her face.  A heart-shaped face, bright hazel eyes that reminded him of nature in the purest form, and her dark thick hair in a messy bun on the top of her head.  His heart stopped, almost making him think he died and passed on into some kind of afterlife.  But she was there, filled with color and making Jack feel that pain he had in the past disappear.  
No longer as he worry about the setbacks of being a werewolf.  No longer he was worried about being alone forever and not having another person to feel connected to.  Now it was there, right in front of him in one of the last places he never thought he would meet his soulmate.  
“Hello,” Jack said in a shaky tone, not knowing what else there was to say in such a moment in meeting his soulmate.  
She smiled, and Jack knew he was done for.
The End.

girl dad aaron telling your little girl he wont make it to one of her ballet shows because theres a possibility he wont get back from a case in time but the whole team worka twice as hard to solve the case as quickly as possible so he (and the whole team tbh) can make it!!! ur daughter is sad but when she sees daddy and all her aunts and uncles she gets SO happy🥺
🥺🥺🥺 the bau was called out for the case early in the weekend, so aaron was fairly confident they would be able to resolve it by the end of the following week, just in time for saturday's recital. but omg the team soon learned the unsub had a partner, so they obviously have to find the partner, and it just prolongs the case even more :((((
aaron tries to stay hopeful, but by the end of the week, it's still not looking good 🥺🥺🥺 UGH aaron's heart just drops and that night, he has to make that very very sad phone call home that he may not be able to attend :((( just in case :(((((
and baby girl understands, veryyy early on the two of you explained to your daughter that her daddy has a very important job and saves lots and lots of people, but that means that sometimes he won't always be home, or won't be home for the very fun things :( he wishes more than anything he could, but sadly it's something that can't be controlled :(
so aaron apologizes (a ton😭), says that it could always be filmed for him so he can see it when he gets home, and that he'll take her out to do something fun too :( that lifts her spirits a little bit, and she says okay🥺 but aaron could still hear the disappointment in her tiny voice :( ugh it just breaks his heart - he knew how excited she was, whenever he picked her up from ballet, it was all she could talk about, all she could talk about at home. and the dad guilt kicks in even more :((((
so the next morning, the team notices aaron is a bit down :( and once they learn the reason why - penelope especially 😭 - they're like yeah no we're GETTING you home if it's the last thing we do. SO everyone is working a more urgently, they even pull an all nighter just to use that extra time 🥹, and it pays off!!!! friday night the partner is finally located and once the local pd officially takes over, everyone is booking it to the jet for a red eye flight home 😭. and aaron is 🥹 so so so thankful and they make it there just in time <333
and when baby girl hotchner sees her daddy and all her aunties and uncles 🥹🥹🥹🥹 :DDDDDD happy doesn't even begin to describe it. her whole face lights up and she throws her teeny arms around aaron as much as she can manage and is all, "you're here!!!!!!!!!!" :DDDD while she was still excited to perform, she was soo sad her daddy wouldn't be there - she was kinda iffy about going on that stage entirely, she even cried a bit over it the night before :( but now the hesitation is long gone and she goes on to do her very very best and everyone is so proud of her 🥹 especially her daddy hehe 🥰💓💓 who had a grin on his face the wholeeee time <333 and definitely teared up a bit 🥹

First off, I freaking love your comics. They are the reason I wake up way too early some Saturdays and actually sleep Friday nights (not tonight obviously, but still!) it’s so much fun waiting for the next update because I know it’s all going to be AWESOME!!!!
Seriously though it was because of your art that I was able to draw Casey Jones, and have him turn out so good!!!! I wnded up loving how he looked because I totally used your comic panels as references. I was even able to submit an accordion book of Casey WIPs for my last art class of high school!! I’m not the most confident artist so my personal style is whack, sometimes it’s recognizable and sometimes it’s just shapes on a page, but I enjoy writing and painting. Traditional art kicks my backside dang hard, girl. Btw what do you use to create the comics? I think I remember a post a while back about an iPad, but I don’t know.
I honestly was so freaking panicked when I realized Donnie was flipping dying but calmed a bit since then knowing we’re nearing the end, but I’m wondering how many updates there will be left because the family should probably get back to being turtles and Donnie having that self acceptance about being a turtle. If that’s where you decide to take the story, but comfort is definitely needed for the poor guy. *hugs Donnie and offers hand for you to join bc we all know this turtle be needing some love rn with all the glorious angst that be happening*
*also wonders if you’re going to sell TMS to as a colored comic as well once it’s officially done*
Aw, thank you very much! It means a lot to read that 🥰💕 (though please try to sleep, sleep is important to your health!)
OMG THAT’S SO AWESOME! I’m so happy my comics were able to help you with an art assignment! And hey, I didn’t use to be a good artist either, just keep working at it and you’ll get better and better! They say it’s 100 hours to be proficient, 10,000 to be a master.
Yes! I use an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. The app I use is called Clip Studio Paint, it’s a bit complex, but once you get the hang of it it’s incredibly powerful and has a lot of tools. I was able to learn how to use it in a weekend so it’s too insanely complicated.
lol, don’t worry! They all become turtles in the end! (The next episode they mutate back) There are currently 2 more updates left for you guys and then it’ll be on to Indie TMNT! I very much hope to get it printed, I have some ideas of how to make it easier/cost me less, but I’ll have to see how it all goes.
Good questions! :]

VIII - Have we put all the pieces together?
Only Parts of you Mr. Morales Series
This fic and my blog over all is 18+ MDNI
Frankie Morales x Belinda (plus size OFC)
Word Count: about 3.4k (Longer than all the other pieces 😑 Endings are rough.)
Summary: Frankie and Belinda have a conversation that truly is better in the morning. Things are moving and shaking while Belinda is stir-crazy. After things settle down, pieces are in place where they should be.
Warnings: angst, intoxication (mild), medical jargon, pregnancy and complications (Nerdie may have taken liberties with this - Mother & Baby was not my best class), birth control discussions, food mention & cooking, Benny and Frankie bear the brunt of the bad jokes, Pope and Carmen and the MVPs, we have more desserts and fluff
Notes: The finale for Frankie and Belinda. I’ve enjoyed writing their story. It had its’s fair bit of mess but at the core were two people who loved each other. I may do a follow up or two because they’re beginning a new chapter. Thank you so much for reading this far. 💕 Happy Frankie Friday everyone! 🥰
Main Masterlist/ Frankie “Catfish” Morales Masterlist/ Only Parts of you Mr. Morales Series
Tumblr media
It’s not like Belinda hadn’t pictured herself in this position over the years. She just thought there would be a few steps in a different order. It’s supposed to be a happy moment where she gives Frankie the wonderful news, they celebrate because they’ve talked about it, agreed to it and were doing the whole trying thing. Frankie looks a bit drunk, mostly panicked and like she’s going to float away. His eyes are trained on her and his hands have his cap and his hair in their grips.
“Mi bizcochito (My little cake) please. Don’t say it. Just…I know.”
“You know? What do you know Frankie?” Her eyebrows are halfway up her forehead. She thought she was hiding it well. Of course he knows. He’s Francisco ‘Catfish’ Morales. He still notices when she uses different oils in her hair or changes her fingernail polish. The superb attention to detail that made it impossible to hide how she felt about him for the longest, even when Belinda wanted to pretend like she didn’t or worse when they were trying whatever casual mess they had been doing before. He still knew and that’s why he’d pull away sometimes, though they still ended up coming back together eventually.
“Cariño (sweetheart), you don’t have to worry though. You’ve been changing your clothes. I’m not the same as I once was either. It’s a good thing though. Since we’ve been together, we’ve both become softer, taking care of each other.” He’s explaining, or trying to, that he thinks she is beautiful even if she puts on a few pounds. He has too, Frankie’s aware he has a bit more to grab in the middle.
Belinda covers her face. This is not the right time to have this conversation with him, he is either in denial or really thinks she’s concerned about weight gain, which she isn’t. She just went back to her comfy clothes that she could hide in while she waited for her doctor’s appointment. Which had been today. Standing up and embracing him, she was able to stifle her laugh and kiss his cheek. “You’re right Frankie, we have become softer together. Let’s get you some water, a shower and off to bed.”
Morales allows himself to be taken care of by his bizcochito. He needs to keep the act up until tomorrow morning. It will be Saturday and neither of them have work unless Frankie gets called in. After Belinda falls asleep, he turns off his phone. Might lead to a stern talking to on Monday, but he’d need to ask her what he’d been beside himself to really ask her. Morales is many things but not a fool. He’s staring at the ceiling with the woman he loves laying on his chest, the very same that’s likely carrying his child. ‘Maybe I should have wrapped it up but she said she enjoyed the feeling. I did too.’ He did have to remind Belinda occasionally to take her birth control meds and they did discuss an implant in her arm or an IUD but she was squeamish about anything being surgically put in or being classified as a procedure. Frankie did poke a bit of fun at her considering what she has in her most nights and she told him he was a bad man after slapping his arm.
Maybe he should have pushed harder for it or gotten the snip himself, but neither of them ever mentioned it. Frankie pictured himself with children at one point, early in his service. Before the real combat started before he saw the horrors, it was enough many times just to take care of himself. He couldn’t imagine caring for someone fully dependent on him. Not then. But now? Belinda wrapped an arm around his torso, nuzzling her face into his chest.
“Maybe it will be fine. Maybe I can do it. We’ll be raising the kid together after all. Doesn’t mean I’m not scared shitless. Fuck…” His eyes close and he drifts off to sleep curious how exactly to talk about it with her.
Despite the hangover, Morales is up first, peeling Belinda off of him. Bathroom then coffee. He’s always on coffee duty, so he decided to fix breakfast too. The excuse would be that it’s a Saturday, and she wanted to talk to him about something but he wasn’t aware enough to register anything. The aroma of the coffee calls Belinda. It smells delicious but her stomach turns, she felt like it was a little early for that. She’s at two months according to the doctor and there was a major caveat with that. She googled most of the evening yesterday but didn’t retain a thing. Slipping on a white and navy blue striped t-shirt dress, she made her way to the kitchen.
There stands Francisco, a messy mop of dark curls bouncing on the back of his neck, his gray t-shirt struggling to contain his biceps and shoulders. He was wearing tan cargo shorts that cupped the curve of his ass just right. He’s finishing up the eggs, the bacon is to the side, pancakes are keeping warm in a metal baking pan covered with foil. The table is set with orange juice and syrup already out. If she wasn’t apprehensive about what conversation they were going to have, she’d tell him to cover all the food and head back to the bedroom. This is by far one of the sexiest and sweetest things he does for her: letting her not worry about anything. She’s waiting for his usual line of “breakfast is served mi amor (my love).” That’s not what he turns and says.
Frankie turns to see Belinda watching him with a soft smile. She looks a little tired still, but otherwise fine. He’s happy to cook on days where they stay in and spend time together. It looks like there will be more of these days with a small high chair at one of the sides of the table. It’s out before he can really think about what he said, what it means. “Buenos dias mamá oso (Good morning mama bear)! Breakfast is served!” He has a genuine smile on his face. He was dead serious. Belinda’s hands were on her hips. She knows I knew, welp Fish. Whatever happens, happens. Dammit.
“Good morning Francisco Miguel Valesquez Morales.” She has used his entire name. Frankie is concerned as she walks toward him, the smile gone from her face. “How long have you known? Tell me.”
Frankie sighs and places both palms on the counter behind him, leaning back. “The last few weeks. You’re wearing different clothes I haven’t seen you wear for a while and are a bit more round in the middle.”
“Why didn’t you say anything last night? Why go with that whole ‘we’re both softer’ thing?”
“I mean, I wasn’t wrong. We are both softer. Just for different reasons and not just physically. I’m not cooking breakfast for just any woman I know. Te amo Belinda (I love you Belinda).” Her hands pinch his cheeks while her lips peck his.
“You’d best not Frankie. Te amo mi amor.” She assist and dishing up the plates and the air across from each other, eating breakfast. During a pause, she decides to ask, “Did you know I went to the doctor yesterday?”
“No but are there any issues?” Frankie crosses his arms, there couldn’t be something wrong already right?
Belinda clears her throat and sets her elbows on the table, her chin is on top of her interlocked fingers. “Apparently, and I don’t believe I have any that run in my family, the reason I’m showing earlier than normal. Whatever normal looks like, is because we’re having twins.”
Morales is frozen. He doesn't remember there being any cases of twins that he knows of. His mouth moves but nothing comes out. It’s amazing but doesn’t that mean double everything?! Belinda wonders if the man’s stopped working. It was a shock to her too yesterday. She thought maybe there was a weird shadow or something on the ultrasound but the doctor and nurse pointed out two heartbeats and two babies. It was part of why she’d been sitting to tell Frankie. It was still processing for her too.
“So…but is that okay? For you cariño?” The pilot asked. Pregnancy can be difficult when you’re having one baby. Belinda is carrying two.
“It kinda has to be Fish. I can’t move either baby anywhere else.” She chuckled, understanding his concern. What was her pregnancy going to look like? Everyone’s always different.
“When’s your next appointment? I’m coming with you. I know you won’t remember everything.”
Belinda had fake outrage on her face, gasping and covered her mouth with her hands, “Is that so? How could you! I have my notes from my last appointment. Thank you! Not everything stuck though to be fair.” The smirk on her face as Frankie stood and walked over to her, placing his hands on her shoulders. “I told them I can call next week after checking with you, plus I needed to actually tell you.”
“Well now I know. I’ll let my manager know and it will be fine.” He kisses her forehead, “I’ve got to show up with you to let them know who’s got some strong swimmers. I’m not called ‘Fish’ for nothing.” Belinda pinched his nose, then ruffled his hair.
“Such a horrible man. Who even says that Frankie?” They both laughed while they cleaned up breakfast. Her cheek rested in the middle of Frankie’s back as he washed the dishes. For just a moment before she dried and put them away.
Sunday afternoon at Will and Benny’s, everyone is gathered. All their close friends. Belinda and Frankie had done a video call with her parents who were shocked, ecstatic and wanted to know when they could fly down and visit. Frankie was all for it, Belinda said that she would need to set up the guest room, she didn’t want them coming quite yet. Her Frankie had moved in not too long ago.
Will wasn’t surprised and happy that they actually talked it out.
Benny had to be told not to pick Belinda up and squeeze her. Frankie gave him a death glare.
Pope and Carmen both squealed, gave hugs and started an argument that lead to an intense game of rock-paper-scissors to determine who would be the godparents. In a major upset, Will was knocked out early. Pope and Benny did five rounds before Benny danced away victorious. Was a rendition of the running man necessary? To Benjamin Miller it was.
The joy in sharing the news with everyone eased both of their anxieties for a time.
It was when Belinda was six months along and Frankie was at one of her follow up appointments with the OBGYN. They’d seen the PCP last week. Her blood pressure was high, but not concerning yet according to the MD so she opted to work from home. It helped at first but her blood pressure crept back up. Frankie made her a fluffy spot in their bed surrounding her with pillows, water and snacks. He told her to stay put. Don’t go anywhere except the bathroom and the bed. He’d call to check in on her as she did reports and such from her laptop.
This system worked until month eight. She hated it. She can’t move around, she’s stuck to this bed, concerned about how worried Frankie is about her. Belinda finished her reports early, she was banking all her time to use after her maternity leave. “I need to get out…it’s the same four walls. Just walking down the street should be okay right?” She was just going to walk out in her slides and a simple dress. It was warm but not hot thankfully. Belinda called Carmen to let her know where she was going, she thought about texting Frankie but she didn’t want him worrying anymore than he already was. “Just down the street. Just down the street.” Letting out a long breath, Belinda felt a few kicks as she made it to the end of the driveway. “I know, momma just wanted to move around. Let’s move around together and we can have a little secret from daddy. Until he’s eaten dinner. The truth is best on a full belly.” She chuckled while waddling down the street. Saying hello to a few neighbors in addition to feeling the wind around her body instead of just near a window was something she didn’t realize she missed.
Belinda ended up at the park at the end of the street and sat on a bench. She rested her feet and watched a few children play, curious when she’d be able to bring these two here to play.
Carmen stopped by with groceries l. She thought Belinda would be back by now but she wasn’t. It was an hour and a half since she’d called her to tell her she went for a walk. She called and texted her but she didn’t answer. “Ahh…Belinda. I swear…” She put the groceries away and Belinda returned her call. She’s sobbing and frightened.
“C-Carmen. There’s a bag next to my bed. Pick me up from the park, please. I think…my water broke. I just wanted a walk…to get out. It’s early right? Too early…What if I did something wrong? How will I explain to Frankie that I didn’t listen…?” She paused and it sounds like she’s moving.
“Belinda you’re not still walking are you? Honey don’t worry about any of that, there’s nothing to be done. Just get somewhere you can sit and wait for me. You’re still near the park right?” Carmen hurried to the bedroom and found a black duffel back at the foot of the bed. She grabbed it, made sure she had her purse and locked the front door. She tossed the back in the passenger seat, texted Pope to get Frankie to the hospital immediately and sped toward the park. “Linda you’re still on the line right?!”
“Yes. I found a bench. It hurts to sit. I’m standing and leaning over.” She feels a little woozy but stays on the line. Carmen hops out of the car and ushers her to the backseat laying her down. “I’m sorry. Does Frankie know? Is he coming? I should…” Belinda is dozing a bit, Carmen is yelling at her to stay awake. Within ten minutes, they’re at the hospital.
Frankie is checking gauges in one of the helicopters. Finally off probation, he’s back to flying. Santiago calls three times while he’s trying to focus. “What hermano (brother)? Where’s the fire?” His tone is peppered with a smile.
“Dammit Fish! Answer the first time! Carmen is taking Belinda to the hospital! Her water broke. I’m on my way to get you, Will and Benny will bring your truck over. Grab your shit and meet me out front!” Frankie hopped out of the helicopter, grabbed his bag from his text and told his manager that he was leaving. His twins are coming. Pope was indeed waiting outside. “Look man.” Hopping in his truck, the men took off toward the hospital. “Carmen said that Belinda had trouble staying awake, but it looks like they’re replacing some fluids she said.”
“She’s a month early! Is that bad for her? Is she going to be okay?” Frankie wants his children to be okay, but what is he going to do if she’s not okay, if Belinda isn’t okay. “I should have just told her to be on bed rest. Not even work from home. Pope, what am I gonna do if…”
“Shut up Frankie. Don’t you dare. She’s going to be fine. Your kids are going to be fine. You’re going to see them in the next few minutes and be there with her. Our kids are going to have play dates and I’m going to beat your ass for actually allowing Benny to be your kids’ godfather.”
“He won fair and square Pope. Your bionic ass couldn’t win.” The pilot laughed nervously, he appreciated him trying to calm him.
“My hair and ass are the only things that aren’t bionic, you jerk.” Pope’s smirk lingered on his face as they rounded the corner and pulled up at the ER doors. “I’m still kicking your ass once your girl and your kids are home safe. I’m parking the truck.”
Frankie nodded and ran to the front desk, asked where Belinda’s room and a staff member took him to her room. There was a flourish of noises, Morales couldn’t tell if it was good or bad. He knocked and opened the door.
He was too late.
In each arm, Belinda held a baby boy with dark curls, round cheeks and noses that had a slope to them. His bizcochito (little cake) had two pudíns (puddings). She looked exhausted and was covered in a sheen of sweat, but glowed under the fluorescent lights. He kissed each of his sons and then cupped Belinda’s face, kicking his shoes off and hopping in the hospital bed with her. The nurse warned that since she’s just given birth it’s best to be gentle with her. Frankie nodded. “Gracias mi amor (Thank you my love). You make me whole mi vida (my life). Can I give you and my sons my last name? I’m not going anywhere Belinda. You’re home to me.”
There’s no more anxiety or distress in his face. The lines on his face are from how wide Francisco Morales is smiling, even his eyes look like there might be glimmers in them. She wants to reach for his hair, his nose, run a thumb over his lips. Her sons busy her hands and arms. “I’ve given you two children Morales and heart. I’d better be getting your last name Francisco.” They both laughed, with Carmen hugging Santiago before Will and Benny walked in.
“There’s just so much love in this room. I have one question for you two, which kid is which? Am I the godfather to them both? Do I get to pick one?” Benny stands at the foot of the bed. All the adults in the room groaned and a pillow hit Benny in the face courtesy of Frankie.
Belinda and the babies remained in the hospital as did Frankie except to go home and get changes of clothes. Finally, after a week, they were able to go home. Their little village of friends had set up the cribs, bought pampers, bibs, onsies, toys, blankets, booties, and the newly engaged couple wasn’t sure what the rest was, but they would figure it out.
The night they came home with their sons, Frankie tested out each crib just in case, despite them being put together by Santiago and Will. They were fine. Eventually, both Rafael and Raúl were put down to sleep. Belinda was able to shower finally with Frankie’s help. Laying down in their bed, they watched their sons sleep.
“Everything’s finally fit together for us. It was pretty disjointed for a while there Belinda.”
“Yeah, we should have actually talked about it a lot sooner.”
“Before or after you asked me to move in while you were full?” She pinched Frankie’s nose.
“You’re lucky I’m not supposed to exert myself. Our timing is-“
“Impeccable. Given we’ve got dos pudíns velludos (two hairy puddings).” Frankie kisses her cheek and she tries to hold in her laughter, it makes her stomach and pelvis hurt.
“Do not call our sons hairy puddings. Also, all that hair is from both of us, though it looks like you spat them out.”
“I love them already so they have their nicknames like you do mi bizcochito. You’ll just have to live with it.”
“That’s all I’ve wanted Frankie it wasn’t quite in the order I thought but we’re in this together. I have all of you like you have all of me.”
A night like many to come where they dose off to sleep in each others’ arms and are awakened by one or both of their son’s crying. It’s alright because they work as a team to change, feed and burp them before reading various books. From Dr. Seuss to flight manuals they would impart pieces of themselves onto their children.
There were turns, trips, stumbles and misunderstandings but Frankie and Belinda proved that in spite of their differences and fears, the pieces could be put together to make them a family. Plus two.

fuck it friday (but it's actually saturday)
Tagged by @captain-hen 🥰
From the alternate-ending-to-season-6 fic:
"I ended it with Natalia; we agreed to just be friends, and now… I'm one hundred percent single," he whispers eagerly.
Eddie's aware that there's a big, goofy smile on his face, but he can't help himself. "Okay. Good."
"So now we can… figure this out," he says hopefully. "You and me."
He's nodding, blushing, smiling – are they really doing this? He's still not even really sure what it is – what are they gonna do, start making out or something?
He's never kissed a guy before. He's never even really thought about it, but now that he's looking at Buck, he notices that Buck has… especially kissable lips.
Buck notices him eyeing him, and leans in close. "What?"
"Are you a good kisser?" Eddie asks curiously.
His eyes light up. "You want to find out?"
"Not right now," he murmurs, buttoning his shirt. "Are you?"
"I've been told a time or two that I'm more than adequate," Buck replies smoothly, leaning in close to him again. "I'd be happy to give you a demonstration."
Eddie licks his lower lip – god, he's doing it purposefully, just to watch a blush creep into Buck's cheeks. "Maybe later," he murmurs, closing his locker door. "And you should know that Christopher has a sleepover on Saturday night–"
"You want to go on a date with me?" Buck blurts out, without letting him finish the sentence.
He wants to laugh – it's so ridiculous, the idea of going on a date with Buck, but… Eddie meets his eyes, hope blooming in his chest, and says, "Yes. I really do."
Tagging @tawaifeddiediaz @tripleaxeldiaz @renecdote @ashavahishta and anyone else 💗

[sends hugs] I've been thinking of you even though (or especially) you haven't been online as much 🥰🥰🥰
Also, as a more specific ask, what are your favorite things about Okami? Would you recommend it? (Also, cost and least favorite parts of it? I'm assuming it's a video game, and I always like to hear about your game reviews!)
Uhhh forgot the secret third thing.... ahhhhh... got any favorite things you're looking forward to or happy that you've done recently? <3
Anni <333 hi you are so cute thank you ilu!
okami is a rly rly rly pretty game, both graphically and sound-wise. it's 3d but really creatively mimics sumi-e style painting, the whole game is very lovingly steeped in japanese folklore, it's silly and fun and heartwarming and it has a good story. and!! you get to play as a wolf goddess whose entire Thing is restoring nature and who is also a silly little guy who is just Over doing deity things!!
idk what its cost is now, there's been multiple HD releases in the past couple years on different platforms, we played the original on PS2 yearsss ago so idk how it holds up on like the switch or something
least favorite part was the "voices" for characters, i can only describe it as "like animal crossing but Annoying." but i read that in HD releases there's an option to turn dialogue sounds off so!
and idk some of the silly joke humor might turn people away (bc it can get. Very Silly sometimes) but i always found it either harmless or fun
OH but there's an entire game mechanic around Finding and Feeding Wild Animals and there's a whole cute little cutscene and then they LOVE you afterwards and you can pick some of them up and carry them around and!!! it's so cute!!!!
-------
umm i am looking forward to this week being over, there's a lotta rly stressful things in the next couple days to do but then we don't have to worry abt them anymore so that'll be nice u_u; gotta renew our medical license thingies and do other big adulty stuff
time is a blur, we were super sick last week (and are still kinda sick but #Recovering), so am hoping we can find some time to do some art with the time we have off friday/saturday. bc we are now picking up overtime hours tomorrow. idk. work part wisdom or something :x

okayyyy val’s big weekend summary under the cut 🥰
okay the tdh concert on Friday night SLAPPED as always, they’re SO fucking good live it’s unfair to everyone else. ridiculous. and the house of blues is such a cool venue!! the only thing that sucked was the drive to the venue from my hotel—a 35 min drive with no traffic; a 1hr drive that maps quoted me before I left; with the final drive being 2 1/2 hours, bumper to bumper most of the way. chicago why.
Tumblr media
then the next morning I had lunch with a very cool mutual (who I’m not sure wants me to doxx them/the city they live in so I’ll abstain from naming them here but trust they are very cool) which was SUPER fun I love meeting mutuals so much. my fav people. if you’re reading this, hi :3
spent saturday afternoon & evening driving down to st louis, after which my right leg started to cramp up :( but with a knee-high compression sock and a hot water soak + massage I managed to get it under control, thank god. I kept having this mental image of getting a leg cramp mid-mng
then on sunday, I started tit day with a nice chicken katsu bowl :) ft. cucumber salad.
Tumblr media
Then I got ready for tit over the next few hours and STILL ENDED UP LEAVING SHIT AT THE HOTEL and had to GO BACK TO GET THEIR CAT EARS FOR THE PIC. anyway it all worked out and I had literally the BEST time at tit. I got a bunch of bracelets, some god-tier cards, so many people came up to me to tell me they loved my catboy dan outfit, I got to meet up with the same group I saw when I went to WAD and also 2 other mutuals!! And after the show they got in my car and I kidnapped them :3 (i.e. I drove them back to their hotel lmao)
Monday was the designated drive-back day, and as usual I got boba setting out (I’ve truly glossed over the sheer amount of boba I consumed on this trip) and made the very important stop in Cumming to admire their big pole:
Tumblr media
as well as take an appreciative look at the stiff timber at Cumming’s Howell Tree Farm
Tumblr media
and then I got home to my partner and my puppy who were both very happy to see me :3 and I missed them so much. but I had such a good weekend and I’m so happy I did all of it! finally, here’s the total travel distance, roughly:
Tumblr media
which is 1831km!

Hello hello lovelies! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. This post will be kind of long (sort of) as it will contain some updates and whatnot so check below the cut!
First and foremost welcome to my new followers! I’m glad that me and my sims interest you enough that you hit that follow button lol 🤣 I hope I can keep you all interested in my upcoming content and previous content. ☺️
NOW! let’s get down to business. I’d like to first apologize for the lack of posting. Before, I was posting several times a day. During that time, I was out of a job so I had A LOT of free time however, I now have TWO jobs and I’m also a single mom to 2. I just wanted to clarify that for my new peeps. With that being said, my time is VERY limited. The only time I really get to play is on the weekends and usually it’s late night. So my posts will usually be done pretty late but at least you all will have something to look forward to when you wake up! ☺️ Or if you reside in a different time zone, you’ll have something to look forward to during your lunch break, or when you get home etc.
I post mostly pictures of sims I create because I LIVE in CAS 🤣 I was a Barbie lover as a child and had TONS of Barbie stuff and LOVED to play dress up. So being in CAS is like playing Barbie to me (adult style) lol. However, I do posts random shots of my gameplay from time to time.
If you couldn’t tell, I have a story in the works called Forever in San Myshuno. It will be based around 4 women who are best friends who go throughout their early adulthood and of course there will be DRAMA. I was a huge fan of the show Friends and so I was kind of inspired to make a story of that caliber. I really want to execute the first episode of that story really well so I’ve been taking my time and preparing for it hence why it’s taking quite a while for the first post. I have to give you storytellers props because it’s A LOT of work trying to get everything set up like jobs, and placing lots and finding everything that’s needed. But I am REALLY excited to share the first post.
SO with that being said as well, the first episode to Forever in San Myshuno will be out on Saturday, 9/16/23!
SPREAD THE WORD! ITS FINALLY HAPPENING!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Yes! It is FINALLY happening! I will spend the better part of Friday night taking screenshots and editing and everything in between and the first post will be live on Saturday! Again, I post late night since I’m usually busy with my kids during the day so expect that first episode to be out late Saturday night. I’m REALLY excited as I have wanted nothing more than to finally play and get this first episode out! And though I haven’t played with them, I’m growing an attachment to my main OC’s.
I hope you all will enjoy the first episode and know that I am NOT a pro with editing and whatnot and I’m still trying to find my “style” of storytelling so I will be asking for feedback as I want it to be easier for you all to read whether it be on mobile or desktop or any other device.
I will also try and post shots of the characters apartments along with the gallery ID of the creators. I want to try and do that BEFORE the first episode but if not then it will be a bit after the first episode.
As for other gameplay screenshots, I will DEFINITELY be posting some of those as well. I have a couple of challenges that I’ve been playing that I’d like to keep playing such as the Joy of Life Legacy Challenge and the Not So Berry challenge (for the 100th time 🙄🤣). I also do have a YouTube channel and will be working towards getting the right equipment and set up so I can do LP videos for you all and maybe some CAS videos (something I REALLY have been wanting to do for a LONG time). But again, everything is a work in progress.
Ok so this post IS lengthy but I promise that’s all the news I have for now! Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week and I will see you Saturday! Stay tuned and Happy Simming! 🥰

its friday night / saturday morning so we all know what that means! (im so sorry) 
time for me to ramble about a bl where im more obsessed with a side couple than i am with the main plot and characters 
good luck 
MY LOVELIESSSS 🥰🥹
Tumblr media Tumblr media
my dude. my bro. my main man laem. dost thou hear thyself 
Tumblr media
HE DIDNT NEED TO BUT HE DID AND I LOVE HIM AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THEYRE SO CUTE 
Tumblr media
its giving

GAYDARS ACTIVATED
Tumblr media
i love them all 
Tumblr media
I LITERALLY SAID IT LAST WEEK, HE WAS SMILING AT CHER AND IT WAS SHOCKING COS I DIDNT KNOW HE COULD SMILE 
oh they did a flashback to that exact scene. i thought of it first tho. 
Tumblr media
these poor people needing to exist in the vicinity of this group 
THREEZOSCENETHREEZOSCENEASCENEENTIRELYDEDICATEDTOTHREEZOLETSGO
Tumblr media
little hand touches 🥰 🥰
Tumblr media
no but theyre so cute you dont understand 
Tumblr media
THEY MAKE ME SO HAPPY FJJGBFGJFBJBGF
Tumblr media
OH MY GOSH I CANT 
cher being late for work (its only 15 minutes man chill out) and also forgetting his id card thingy is more of a mood than it should be  time to add cher to the potential neurospicies list (it is growing very fast) 
cher ur fake coughing isnt fooling anyone. just say you overslept or took a wrong turn or fell out of a tree or something 
wait now i genuinely cant tell, is he faking being sick or is he actually sick 
MY BROS YOU’RE BEING REALLY SUSPICIOUS, ANYONE WITH EYES CAN SEE IT AND PEOPLE WITHOUT EYES CAN ALSO SEE IT, IT’S JUST THE IMPORTANT CHARACTERS WHO SOMEHOW CANT 
okay he was lying i was pretty sure he was lying 
DAMN THEY REALLY FOUND A WAY TO SQUEEZE IN THAT NIVEA SPONSORSHIP 
theyre literal children i love them 
THE WAY THEY BOTH ROLLED OVER TO FACE EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME WAS SO CUTE 
Tumblr media
he literally walked right into him multiple times and kept forgetting to knock 
Final thoughts: 
pretty good episode, especially in the beginning (and totally not just because all the threezo was at the start) 
im excited for the next episode but eternally grateful that im not obsessed with this show cos man that feeling of anticipation waiting for msp episodes to come out was like personalised torture so ty brain for not latching on to this show like a baby with a nipple 
im still feeling a little bit iffy with the power imbalance and also about how we still dont know the age gap between them? (i think last week we found out how old gun is and i was gonna do research to find an estimate on how old cher is but then i didnt do that so if someone else happens to have already figured it out, then the information would be greatly appreciated) but they say multiple times that gun isnt “that much older” but i dont know how much ‘that much’ is and i would like to know so that i can have better peace of mind 
other than that tho, good episode!

hi dio 🤍 i’m sorry in advance if this is too much but i just wanted to say i’m so happy for you and your new place! i hope it treats you just right and cozy! i also want to say i’m so proud of you and your strength - it’s reminded me to sort of push through personally and just letting it all happen. thanks 🫂
hello sweet darling 🤍 first of all, it’s not too much, so don’t you worry. i’ve healed quite a bit in that regard — slowly but steadily; and one morning i woke up and kindness was okay again 🤍
second of all, thank you so much 🥺 this means the world to me, seriously. the new place offered a lot of challenges but i was brave and asked for help, and my family (papa especially) basically flipped the world on its head to help me, and ugh. everything is better now. the wallpaper is shiny and glittery. it makes me very happy to look at. i had no heat and that was solved yesterday, bc i tried to reach someone for the fourth time (perseverance yay). so now all that needs to happen is the actual move on saturday, and once again i’ll have so much help for that. i’m really grateful!
but it also reminds me to look for gentleness in different ways than i’m craving, so it’s a learning experience on so many levels, yknow? like, everything is so much and i wish for some gentleness and maybe a hug — but what is gentleness if not your family giving up on a lot of their well deserved free time to basically renovate your new apartment? what is gentleness if not taking your kid to six hardware stores to let them get an idea of what’s out there, to wait two days and give them time to decide, and then to do the whole trip again if they need more time even though time is running? what is gentleness if not recognising your kid’s desolate need for comfort and coziness, and doing what’s in your power to achieve that — not for you, but for them. because you love them so much.
so yes i might be craving a hug or seven, but i also recognise that this whole endeavour, everything that happened these past two weeks is an act of love and care and respect.
sorry, i think i just needed to say this just once. and maybe it can help you, too, on your journey to push through personally — something i’m incredibly proud of, look at you go!! 🥹🤍 you’re so good for letting it all happen, and for persevering, and for still being here 🤍
so you’re very welcome even though it’s a bit hard for me to believe that i inspired you to push through. but i’m happy to be pushing through right there with you either way 🥰 i’ve also started a new job last friday and it’s going rather well so far. and if you, too, want to ramble at me some more, always always feel free 🥰
i hope you have a good day, nonnie, and i hope you, too, find some gentleness in an unexpected or un-experienced way today. thank you for reaching out to me with this, it still makes me smile 🌷🤍
