Eddie and Steve decide to get married in a courthouse ceremony with only Robin and Wayne present.
They would have liked to have the big ceremony and reception with all of their loved ones present, would have liked to take the time to save up and really plan out their day, but Steve told his parents about the engagement and was immediately cut off. And since he still works at his minimum wage job with Robin while he finishes up community college (he's considering applying to a 4 year school after for his bachelors, but it just feels so daunting still (Robin and Eddie will convince him eventually)), and with his history of chronic migraines and other various health issues, he really needed insurance. Luckily Eddie scored a mechanics job at a local dealership and gets pretty good benefits from it.
So an immediate courthouse wedding it is. They figure they can still do a big party later, when they've had the time to save and plan.
After the ceremony they stop by the towns Walmart to grab a wedding cake (Robin insists that some traditions can't be skipped. Eddie's always down for cake). The only suitable item they have left in stock is a six pack of Encanto cupcakes complete with little plastic rings.
They take them home and the four of them celebrate. Eddie and Steve trade plastic rings and wear them on their pinky fingers all night, next to their shiny new wedding bands.
Robin insists again that the last two cupcakes get frozen for their one year anniversary, like the top tier of a traditional wedding cake would.
They go to bed that night with the cupcakes in the freezer, the plastic rings in a place of honor, and the knowledge that they can now call each other "husband". And they think, their wedding was pretty perfect after all.
aziraphale sneaking into hell (to rescue crowley from whatever nonsense he’s gotten himself into) with ash in his hair, something smudged on his clothes, a rip or two that had him reminding himself that it’s for crowley while he does it because he really doesn’t want to damage his clothes, approaching a desk demon: excuse me, could you perhaps direct me to the nearest jailhouse around here?
the desk demon, giving the ol’ 🤨 face: …
aziraphale, with the hesitance of someone scrambling through a translation book: uhhh… bitch.
I could think of no better way to share the news than this!
So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.
Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.
Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!
Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)
He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!
I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!
Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:
why are all these modern aus for the Odyssey set in a high school. where's the retelling where Odysseus is just a guy lost in an airport who keeps missing his connecting flights home due to a comical series of delays and disgruntled airline employees
there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living
