IMAGINE…

holly jolly november: this is a bonus imagine that i forgot to post yesterday :)

warnings: mdni ; dirty thoughts ; mentions of oral (m-receiving) & p in v

nicholas can’t help his lingering gaze as you wrap presents for christmas. the way your nimble fingers work around the decorated paper makes him imagine you on your knees below him, your fingers struggling to wrap around his thick cock. he shifts on the floor, adjusting his pants, and hopefully hiding his hard-on.

you are so innocent as you continue to tape the boxes. you’re in christmas pajamas with your hair up in a messy bun. every time you lean forward to grab more paper, your shirt opens, exposing your bare cleavage. he imagines how easily it would to stand up and force his length deep into your mouth. his breathing starts to hitch.

“are you ok, baby?” you ask, your focus still on the gift in front of you. “you look a little flushed.” you pout looking at him. he clears his throat and gives you a tight lipped smile.

“i’m fine, hun.” he stares at you, trying to get the thoughts of you on the floor with your legs spread as he pounds into you relentlessly out of his dirty mind.

his dick twitches in his pants as you whine at a paper cut. in his mind, you’re whining at the way his fingers circle around your clit as he continuous to thrust into you.

“i got a paper cut.” you frown as you show him your very thin cut. it snaps him out of his wet thoughts and he grabs your finger, bringing it to your lips, and kissing it.

“awe, it’s ok, baby.” swiftly, he pulls you onto his lap. his words are sweet but his tone is raspy and desperate. as you settle on his lap in a straddled position, his hardness presses against your ass. you gasp. “ i know a way to make you feel better.”

Introduction Post

Spring – Year 1: Week 1 - Week 2 - Week 3 - Week 4

Summer – Year 1: Week 1- Week 2 - Week 3 - Week 4

Current Goals:

Fast-track Blue Chickens

Fishing Level 10

Weekly Summary: Leander has taken the first steps towards becoming a part of the Pelican Town community! Having heard rumors of Shane’s chicken husbandry skills, our farmer is attempting to befriend possibly the only person in town to actively avoid having friends. Very rude; we just want to talk about chickens!

Leander has found solace in fishing. He prefers fishing at the dock in front of Willy’s shop, but will sometimes move to one of the small islands of the mountain lake. The Fiberglass Rod was a much needed purchase. The mines do instill a growing need for adventure, however…

Having met with the Wizard and “partaken” of his brew, Leander’s magics have begun to reawaken; enough that the Fae saw it within their good graces to bless our first crops. A fruitful first week back at Aurora Fields.

All the Sims that appear in "Ecofinisher's Sims 4 Base Game file" - Part 4/6

I forgot, what was the reason I wanted to do this bio, but here it is.

This post focuses on the Sims, that live in Oasis Springs. Both self-made and gallery-taken Sims.

HART (Dorie and Gus Hart)

Summary: Bebe has really been through a lot in the household of the Harts.  Her best friend Holly Alto was her help in her darker days, until the Alto clan had created inside their lineage their own problems. Luckily over the last school year, Bebe and her crush began dating at some point, then moved out to live with him. Bebe finally gets used to the peace in their household, but soon things are put upside down again as Lisa brings into the house her boyfriend VJ as well…..

OG Creator(s): hestiah23

Note: Bebe Hart is living in the Bunch household

DON LOTHARIO (+Chiara Lothario, Deceased mother ghost)

Summary: SimNation's favorite womanizer is 40 and has spent a big chunk of his life playing with women's hearts for short-nighters. Don never was a man of a big commitment. Long-term relationships and family bonds literally scared him. One day he received a lawyer's letter informing him about one of his earlier girlfriends has passed away and left a young baby for care. Out of pity, the Italian accepted the guardianship, and little did he know, that this little girl would change his entire life…..

OG Creator(s): MAXIS for Don Lothario

Note: Chiara's mother is present as ghost in the household.

LANGERAK-GOODE (Arthur Langerak, Gloria Goode. William, Arthur Junior Langerak. Jeremy Goode)

Summary: Arthur Langerak’s gotten hit by the midlife crisis and decided to quit his day job to become a musician. Upon this coming to the ears of his father-in-law, their relationship has changed drastically. Gloria has to deal with her father’s complaints about the choice she made, but he kept getting reminded of her lifetime promise goes for the good and bad times. 

OG Creator(s) Jeremy Goode by ?????

Note: Originally, user used my creation to add Jeremy Goode, but I ended up losing it.....

SINGLE MOMS (Fiona McIrish, Molly and Sandi French)

Summary: Molly has always had a bad luck in terms of love. The longest crush of hers lasted for a year and even thought she believed both were destined for each other it broke in pieces as well! Her best friend Fiona stood always by her side, despite herself not looking for love. Fiona has always been a great connection for Molly in all those up and downs in life. Slowly as their lives move on, both their friendship blossomed bigger and it began to evolve into a relationship both didn’t even think about.

OG Creator(s): Fiona and River by hestiah23. Molly and Sandi by MegKatt.

Note: River is living in the Langerak Jr. household.

CALIENTE-COSTA (Diogo and Victoria Costa. Dina and Nina Caliente. Guillermo Caliente)

Summary: Dina found herself invested in a new relationship, which led her to an unexpected pregnancy. With her sister both planned, what to do with the child after it's birth and soon as the baby arrived…….Dina’s whole life attitude was turned around. She gained a new sentiment towards her son. As the years went on, she settled down appreciating her new life. Despite missing the old days, she carries her wild party animal instinct at her new job, leaving her a big part of the day time to appreciate her boys….

OG Creator(s): Dina and Nina by Mizzystace

Notes: Santiago Caliente is the newborn between Diogo and Dina.

CLAVELL (Ayesha [née Ansari] Clavell, Xander Clavell. Kari, Tyler and Buster Clavell.

Summary: During day time, Xander and Ayesha are two normal Sims leading a normal life. This is, at least what the neighborhood including their oldest child Kari thinks. Kari knows, her parents work night shifts. But behind those nightshifts there’s actually a dubious business running…….

(((([Deleted summary for Buster Clavell, when living alone]:

CLAVELL SR.

Buster has long after his wife passed away made amends now with Xander and bond with his daughter-in-law and his grandchildren. Knowing very well about the young couple’s dirty track, he worries, that his grandchildren might find out or worse suffer any consequences related to this issue.  ))))

OG Creator(s): The Clavells by Vit_DM3994. Ayesha by ToriGlory

Note: Bessie Clavell has passed away.

END NOTE

Presumed and marked with ???? Sims I wasn't able to find their owner again and on my gallery they were tagged as "mine", when I actually had saved them and changed their clothes to "base game".

All Sims are split into 6 blog posts due to the limitation of images.

'm looking forward to sharing each household separately into my gallery in the next 48h for anyone who's interested in specific ones only.

It is fine to include prompts asking that a fourth/fifth/sixth/etc. character be added to the relationship you've requested. (For example, if you requested Harry/Hermione/Ron, you can include a prompt along the lines of: "... and if you want to have Neville join in, that's fine with me!") As with everything included in the Optional Details box or Dear Creator letter, though, please note that any such request is optional. Your creator is only required to create a fanwork for the specific relationship that you matched on. Under the Requests section of the sign-up, there is a field to put a link to a Dear Creator letter if you have written one.

Thronecoming at NRC Part 2!

For @sayuricorner​‘s EAH x TW AU!

A continuation of my previous Thronecoming post! This time with the new transfers and Heritage Hall! This takes place after the dance is announced and before the dance starts.

(It’s SUPER long so it’s under the cut. Enjoy!)

Heritage Hall (I forgot about it in Part 1, so I decided to include it here in Part 2)

After Heritage Hall appears in the Silent Woods by the school campus, Baba Yaga and the other former EAH teachers all petition Crowley to let them take the transfers to the Hall, as it is an important part of the Land of Ever After’s history. 

Crowley allows them to hold a field trip to the Hall so that the NRC students can learn more about Ever After. He even allows the students at RSA and other former EAH students to come and claim their heirlooms.

When they arrive at the Hall, all the students are immediately taken in by the grandeur of the building and what’s inside. The EAH transfers approach their prospective heirlooms and happily show them off to their classmates:

Maddie’s is a new tea hat

Lizzie receives a new set of playing cards, with herself as the Queen of Hearts

Bunny’s dad gifts her a new pocket watch that will always return to her no matter what

Alice gifts Alistair a set of books about Twisted Wonderland’s adventurers and explorers

Kitty gets a cat shaped locket from her mom (which surprises her, as she thought her mother would leave her a prank. Her mom left her the locket after Alice disappeared so that Kitty would never forget her if they were ever separated.)

Ginger gets an enchanted cooking/baking set from her mother

Cerise’s is a electronic picnic basket with a mirror lock

Ramona’s is a new faux fur shawl from her parents

Jillian gets a pair of hiking spikes for whenever she goes climbing

Holly and Poppy both receive enchanted hair brushes

Coral also doesn’t receive one because she was going to enter EAH when she came of age. To her, the coral crown and pearls that Azul’s mother gave her is her Thronecoming gift.

Blondie gets a new pair of running shoes

Hunter gets a new polishing/abrasive stone for his axe

Ashlynn receives glass polish for her glass slippers

Raven gets the magic wand that her mother left her

Cedar receives the Revealer Rays from her dad

Cupid’s gift is a new bow and arrow that will only recognize her fingerprints (Her dad got her this after the whole love arrow incident with Hunter)

Rosabella’s parents gift her a magic hand mirror that will always show her home, the Beast’s Castle

Briar’s is a super-soft neck supporting pillow (she’s not thrilled about it)

Faybelle’s mother gave her an enchanted silver crown of thorns (The thorns are enchanted so that they won’t harm the wearer.)

Melody’s dad gives her a recording of a lullaby that her mom used to sing to her when she was little (She’s not dead! I promise!)

Duchess receives a music box from her grandmother

Daring and Dexter both receive new swords with enchanted shields from their father

Darling receives a new set of silver jewelry from their mother (Her brothers thought she would be upset about it, but Darling wasn’t since their mom put a lot of thought into her gift.)

Prudence and Charlotte both receive enchanted hand fans that will change color to match their outfits/dresses

Apple is unsure whether or not she should accept hers, since she is now estranged from her mother. Raven encourages her to open it, but she decides not to open it and just takes the box back with her.

Nina gets a small pair of wings made from flower petals (Inspired by the Barbie: Thumbelina)

Justine receives a new pair of dance shoes that will never wear out

Promposals (These are just my ideas/couplings. Writers can write about different couples if they so choose. Same with the previous post.)

Ginger, along with the rest of the cooking club, are asked to make some food for the dance, to which they agree to do. Trey also volunteers to help with the food preparation so that they can have an extra set of hands in the kitchen.

One night at the Heartslabyul dorm, Trey and Ginger are going over what they should make and they both decide to ask the other to dance at the same time. They both blurt it out at once and Ginger ends up fumbling. After calming down, Trey takes the chance to properly ask her to the dance and she accepts.

Meanwhile, Alistair and Bunny both want to ask the other to the dance too. One day, while hanging out in the school’s main courtyard, Alistair and Bunny ask each other out at the same time and fumble for a bit before both accepting each other's promposals.

If this takes place after Way Too Wonderland, it’s up to the writer who Courtly and Chase go with.

It’s also up to the writer who Kitty goes with.

Jillian could go with Cerise and the group or with another classmate.

If this takes place after Epic Winter, then Daring could plan to ask Rosabella to Thronecoming in the only way he knows how, in a very exuberant and over the top Daring Charming manner. 

Rosabella actually beats him to the punch and asks him to the dance with a red rose that she got from the greenhouse while taking a walk through there earlier that day. Daring accepts the rose with an equally red face and wears it on his tuxedo when he goes to pick up Rosabella from the Pomefiore dorm.

Whoever Cedar goes with is up to the writer.

Prudence and Charlotte are unsure whether or not they should go, since they don’t have dresses. Ashlynn steps up and offers them two dresses that she had previously made when they were still at Ever After (see the webisode Ashlynn’s Fashion Frolic, the purple and pink dresses in the beginning).

The sisters are unsure whether or not they should accept, since it would look like they are still following their destiny and forcing her, but after some encouragement from Cupid, they accept.

Who they go with is up to the writer.

Thronecoming Outfits (made with the Fairy Tale High dress up game (I downloaded it off of the Google Play Store.)) (I obviously couldn’t get exactly what I imagined from the game, but I tried my best.)

Courtly Jester

Bunny Blanc

Ginger Breadhouse

Jillian Beanstalk

Ramona Badwolf

Coral Witch

Rosabella Beauty

Charlotte and Prudence Step

Darling Charming

(Aw, I see you made it to the end! Thanks for reading this. I was really surprised by how long it came out to be this time 😅 Spread the love for sayuri’s AU okay? Like and send the love her way too! She’s the one who inspired this madness.)

From a Distance (E.Pettersson X Reader)

Chapter 1

Masterlist

Tag list form

A/n: hello peoples!! I’m so excited to FINALLY post the first chapter of this fic!!! I’ve been working on it for a long time, and after a few unpleasant delays, it’s finally happening 😁. While this isn’t my first fic, this is my first NHL fic, and the first fic I’m posting on Tumblr, so I’m a little nervous. This first chapter is mostly the set up to the main story, this is reader’s side of things with a flashback story. Chapter two will be mostly from Elias’s point of view. The rest of the chapters will switch back and fourth between the two.

CREDIT: Finally, before we get started I have to shout out my proofreaders. Y’all put up with me and my insanity: @siriushxney @iateyourdonuts @petey-patty @hufflepuff-girlx @cherrylita @immmbabyyygraceee @💕💕And specifically @imagines-r-s ASH!!! Babes, you have been the best and most supportive friend I could’ve asked for during this. You boosted my confidence about this fic and I have no idea what I’d do without you 😁😁

Without further ado, let’s get started shall we!! (Sorry for the long A/N, it’ll only be for this first chapter)

Paring: Elias Pettersson X Fem!Reader

Warnings: lots of cursing, friends with benefits but like...just cuddling???, references to iCarly, mentions of One Tree Hill.

Genere: enemies-ish —>friends —> lovers

Legend: (i suggest having these ready before you read)

Y/C/N/N= your cute nick name, only Markstrom calls you it (you’ll see why) this can be either a pet name you like, or a nick name you already have.

Y/N/N= your nick name, Brock, Quinn, and a few others call you this, it’s more of a playful name. Again, this can be a nickname you already have (if you don’t have one I suggest something stupid (sounds like something Stech or Brock would come up with)

Y/N= this is your first name, only Elias calls you this unless it’s a serious situation, or you’re in trouble, or Brock is being an ass. (If it wasn’t clear before...your last name is Boeser)

Word Count: 2.2k

Summary: you have a hardcore crush on your brothers best friend, who also happens to barely speak to you...it’s a slight predicament.

--------------------------

(This is set in the 2021 season, however, because of my denial, Marky and Stech are still in Vancouver and were never traded... also no Covid. however the season was still delayed just to make it easier to follow.)

Present (Feb. 2021)

You’ve always been best friends with your older brother, you never had any real issues when you were younger and you were inseparable. So much so in fact, that once you graduated early a little less than two years ago (June 2019), he asked you to move to Vancouver and live with him. He was always so protective of you and you appreciated everything he has done in your life. One of the best parts about Brock being your older brother was the people he introduced to you. You aren’t very social and god knows how much of a people person your brother is. Once you had moved in, Brock quickly introduced you to the team. And with your double major in Statistics: Data Sciences and Sports Management, you were able to secure a job with the team. Quickly, you found yourself with a second family, one with many members.

Quinn Hughes is your best friend. when you met him about a year and a half ago, you hit it off immediately. With both of you being the same age and not very social, there was an obvious connection there. When Brock and The boys  go out, it is you and Quinn who stay in and watch shows on the couch (your favorite being New Girl). Huggy Bear is so sweet and you tell him EVERYTHING, even things you’d never tell your brother. You are still thanking the draft lottery every day that the Canucks received the 7th overall pick that gave you your bestie.

Thatcher Demko AKA Dems AKA Thatch AKA baby goalie is the sweetest and most hilarious guy you know. He is always looking after you just like Brock, but he is also one of the most annoying guys you know. When you’d first met you had the biggest crush on him. You told Quinn as much and he gave you so much shit for it. That crush was short-lived though, once you found out how obnoxious he could be. You still love him, just as a friend. Though Quinn never forgets to remind you of the crush that once was.

Bo Horvat is like another big brother to you. Sure you have Brock, but he’s your best friend. Bo, however, is the person you go to when you needed advice. Holly is one of the only WAGs you’ve become close with. She and you consistently have wine and gossip nights, of which Quinn is sometimes in attendance. Plus, you and Quinn are an amazing babysitting team for Gunnar if you have anything to say about it. 

Troy Stecher is the annoying older brother you never had. He always makes fun of you, calls you names, and bullies you in the loving way brothers do. And he never hesitates to come to you if he ever needs girl advice, which seems to happen a lot.

JT was just like Bo, except he is waaay more protective of you, maybe even a bit more than brock. He doesn’t have a sister and when you met, he made it his job to never see you get hurt. Seriously, one day a guy was bugging you at the bar, and both Brock and Bo were struggling to hold him back when he saw him slap you on the ass as you walked away. 

Jacob Markstrom, AKA Marky, AKA Giraffe (pronounced like it is in one of your favorite vines), AKA your cuddle buddy for the past few seasons. Both being single, you felt lonely sometimes and Quinn wasn’t much of a hugger (despite what the nickname might have you believe). Thatcher had offered but Marky, though just as social, is much more laid back. It also helps that he is 6’6 putting him over a foot taller than you. So during movie nights, or late nights at the bar, he is the side you lean on. Of course, you made it abundantly clear to most of the boys and yourselves that you were just friends. As sweet as he was and as great of a boyfriend as he would’ve been, he wasn’t quite your type and your personalities clashed.

Then there was Elias Pettersson, the tall, skinny, Swedish guy you knew as Petey. The guy who looked at you often and barely spoke a word directed towards you. He was Brock's best friend and he came over all the time, you didn’t have an issue with him, and you couldn’t deny he was funny, and from what you’ve heard he is a very kind person. So naturally, he was exactly your type. You’ve had a massive crush on him for a while now, somehow despite the lack of conversation. And the few times he has talked to you, he’s seemed so perfect, but there are only a few times you can remember. 

Right now, as you're on your way to the Canuck’s break room your brother texted you to meet him in, you try to recall those few times, specifically the one where your crush on him truly developed.

--------------------------

FLASHBACK (some time in January, 2020)

--------------------------

You, Quinn, and Jacob were laying on the L-shaped couch in ‘The Boeser apartment’, you were cuddled under the blanket with Jacob, laying on the section perpendicular to the TV, your heads at the corner. Quinn was on the other side of the couch, his head right next to yours. it was about 7 o’clock and the episode of One Tree Hill you were watching had just ended and you three had not eaten dinner yet. As the countdown for the next episode started, your stomach growled and you got a look from Quinn and a giggle from Jacob. 

“You hungry Y/C/N/N?” Jacob asked.

You looked up at him and giggled, “maybe just a little bit.”

“Y/N/N, you know what sounds amazing?” Quinn asked, you could hear the smirk in his voice.

You turned to each other and you both smirked knowing you were thinking the same thing.

“Spaghetti tacos!!” You both said. 

Ever since you were about 10 and you watched iCarly on TV, you had always wanted to try them. It had become an inside joke between you and Quinn for quite some time as he had the same desire as you to see how good they actually were.

“We should totally try them tonight!!” Quinn was quite excited.

“I’m so confused right now,” Jacob chimed in.

“They’re from a show! They take spaghetti and put it in taco shells,” you explained.

“Ahh, hence the name.” he nodded.

“Exactly,” Quinn said.

You jumped up from the couch excitedly and ran straight to your kitchen.

“Ok, we have spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, ground beef, taco shells, aaaand..... by chance do either of you know how to make good meatballs?”

“You’re asking the Swedish guy if he knows how to make meatballs?” Jacob replied.

“Not Swedish meatballs, Italian, stupid Giraffe,” you retorted. 

“Gross,” he said with a disgusted look.

“Ooo my mom made the best Italian meatballs, let me call her to see if she can send me the recipe!” Quinn said with a big smile.

Quinn exited the kitchen and ran to your room to call his mom. 

“You know, I’ve never seen him so excited about anything,” Marky said with a laugh. 

“Quinn loves his food,” you replied.

“Are Brock and Thatch having dinner with us ?”

“I’ll ask.”

You started boiling the water for the pasta, and you cooked part of the ground beef for the meat sauce. Then you texted Brock:

Y/N/N: hey, you want me to make you dinner

Brock: Yeah, who all is there?

Y/N/N: the usual

Brock: Huggy and Marky?

Y/N/N: yep, so do you want some?

Brock: Yeah, and make enough for another person too

Y/N/N: ok

You figured it was Dems since that’s who he went to hang out with when he left 5 hours ago. 

You continued to cook when Quinn came in and grabbed a bunch of stuff from the pantry and cabinets. “Did your mom tell you how to make them?” you questioned your frantic best friend.

“Yes she did and she sent me the recipe too.”

“Coolio,” you reply.

------------------------

You were almost done cooking, the pasta was done, Quinn had put his meatballs in the oven and there were only 5 minutes left on the timer. And the sauce had about 2 minutes to simmer.

“Oh my gosh, I forgot what to do when they're almost done, she does this thing, I have to call her,” Quinn said with a panicked look on his face. He ran back to your room.

The front door to your apartment opened quickly, both boys laughing, “ahh, shit,  my brother’s calling me,” Brock said as he ran back to his room.

“Why does everyone feel the need to exit the room for phone calls?” you asked Jacob.

He shrugged with a giggle, “I don't know, maybe they don’t trust us,” he said in a sarcastically dramatic tone grasping his chest.

The door closed slowly and you glanced at the doorway where you thought you’d see the ever adorable goalie, Thatcher Demko, instead, you saw the adorable, slender, tall blonde you’d seen all the time, but never had a one on one interaction with... except the first time you met, when he told you that you looked pretty.

“Hi, Petey!” Jacob said as he slipped behind you to watch you mix the sauce, he stood over you looking at the sauce and put his hand on your waist.

“Hi,” he replied, his smile from before had faded.

“Looks so good Y/C/N/N,” Jacob said with a kiss on your cheek, a regular action. 

“Thanks, Giraffe, can you grab the taco shells?”

He grabbed them easily from the top shelf (tall ass bitch -_-), and moved behind you, placing his hands on your waist yet again, to move you to the side. “I've gotta run to the bathroom, but I’ll be right back”

“Ok, you have fun with that,” you said with a wink.

Suddenly, was only you and Elias in the room, and the silence was deafening.

“So what are we eating?” he said, pulling your attention to his bright blue eyes.

“Um, spaghetti tacos, they're from a tv sho-”

“Like from iCarly?” he interrupted.

“...Uh yeah? How'd you know?” you couldnt pull your attention away from his eyes, ‘they are just so beautiful,’ you thought somehow you hadnt noticed this within the on and a half years you’d known him.

“We also get Nickelodeon, you know,” he said while throwing you a smirk that made your stomach flip. 

“Oh, I didn't know that,” you replied, feeling just a little embarrassed. 

“iCarly was my favorite, actually.” 

“Yeah, it was mine too,” you said, smiling back, looking at the way he just lit up your kitchen with his presence.

You both stood there for a second just looking at the other, “So how long have-,” he started.

“OKAY,” Quinn unknowingly interrupted, “so she told me what to do, turns out I have to put sauce over them for the last 2 minutes, so Y/N/N can you just put a tablespoon of sauce on each ball then put them back in for two minutes?” 

“Yeah of course. Elias, you were saying?” you looked back at the Swede.

“Oh it's nothing,” he looked down at his shoes. 

“Ok, Y/N/N you need to call mom and tell her we’re fine and that she doesn't need to worry about us please, Paul says she’s stressing,” Brock said as he entered the room.

“When is she not stressing about us? I’ll call her after dinner, how's dad?”

“Doin’ good, nothing has changed or progressed or whatever since we were home last,” Brock moved and sat on the couch letting out a big sigh.

“That’s good,” you let out a sigh.

“Petey, come here, we’re watching Gossip Girl” Brock shouted at the Swede.

“Ooo what episode are you guys on?” you asked. Brock had mentioned how he was making him watch the show you two had watched about 5 times together. 

“Just after Chuck gets Dan kidnapped at Yale.” 

“Oh so you still hate Chuck?” you asked Elias.

“Ew, yeah...wait is that gonna change?” Petey said with a scoff.

“Uh....,” you stalled.

“Y/N shut up, don't spoil it,” Brock interrupted before you could make it worse.

“Ok well, dinner is ready so just start the show after and we can all watch it together.”

--------------------------

“Oh my god, these are actually amazing,” Quinn said with his mouth full.

“I know, I did not think this was gonna taste good,” Jacob added.

“Hey!” you said, offended.

“Y/C/N/N, you know I love your cooking, it was the idea of the meal that I doubted,” Jacob said leaning into your side and putting his arm around your shoulder.

“Mmmhmm, suuure,” you said, rolling your eyes.

“Hallå Marky, ni två är söta (hey Marky, you two are cute),” Petey said, confusing you, Quinn and Brock with the sudden change in language.

Jacob, being oblivious to what Petey was implying, just said, “tack broder (thanks, bro).”

Little did you know what was going on in Elias’s head.

--------------------------

PRESENT

--------------------------

Before that night, you never really thought of Elias in a romantic way. You'd been around him quite a lot, seeing as how, seemingly, is in your apartment more than his own. Sure, you knew he was cute and very sweet from what you'd seen, but up until that point, you'd never had a one-on-one interaction with him. That interaction, however small, was the beginning of an obsessive crush. Quinn was the first to point it out, you started listening closely any time he talked, attempting to converse with him, and thinking about him on a daily basis even when you didn't see him. And due to your stubbornness, no matter how unrequited your crush seemed, it never faltered. You had always thought he hated you, or maybe he just tolerated you because you were Brock’s sister, and you were always around. 

However, that couldn't be farther from the truth.

OC as a Companion

So, I’ve done this before, but I completely forgot about it, and Holly has changed. Not only that but I like doing long OC posts like this, and I’ve been meaning to do one for a while. This was originally created by @little-lightning-lavellan​. I’m not going to create separate posts for the others, instead I’m going to reblog theirs.

Holly Trevelyan

Background

Holly Trevelyan was born in 9:11 to Bann and Lady Trevelyan of Ostwick. She is the second youngest of their children. Her magic started coming in when she was seven, but didn’t become noticeable until she was ten. She was able to hide for another three years until she was 13. One of her older siblings discovered her, and told their parents. A few hours later the templars came, and brought her to the Ostwick Circle of Magi where she remained most of the time until the rebellions began. 

Both incredibly brilliant, and incredibly powerful, Holly excelled in her studies in the Circle, and passed her Harrowing at age 18. Despite this, she didn’t get the title of Enchanter until age 26 as the Senior Enchanters and the First Enchanter believed that it would better if she focused on research instead of taking on Apprentices. Most of her research focused on healing, and she has made many break throughs in the field. Her powers as a healer allowed her to travel outside of the circle at times.

Though she didn’t become an apostate herself until the rebellions, she did help others escape the circle. She avoids speaking about it, but she played a large part when the Ostwick Circle rebelled.

She shows up in Haven after the Inquisitor returns from Val Royeaux looking for her sibling. If the Inquisitor is human, and thus her sibling, she will beg to stay to make sure they survive. If they are not human, she will ask to join to ensure they can close the breach and to get vengeance for her fallen sibling. If she is refused, the Inquisition will receive news of her aiding refugees.

She is a romance option for male and female dwarves, elves, and qunari.

Location(s)

In Haven, she can be found just outside the chantry, near the two sisters (?) who will talk about healing, and gossip about the chargers. At Skyhold she can be found with the surgeon when they first get there. Afterwards she can be found in the tower right next to the stables, next to Cullen’s tower. Inside she has set up a makeshift lab of sorts.

Specialization

She has access to the rift mage specialization because she always had an interest in the fade, and the breach led to her picking up some new skills (she would also be a force mage in da2, and they’re kind of similar), but she also has access to the traditional spirit healer specialization, with some extra abilities like Rejuvenate, which tops up someone’s mana/stamina.

Combat Dialogue

Entering Combat:

“Here we go again!”

“Try me!”

“You’re braver than most!”

“Be careful.”

“You’ll regret this!”

Kills an Enemy:

“Down you go!”

“I told you so!”

“You forced my hand.”

Low Health:

“I need... cover!”

“Potions! Who has potions!”

“Help!”

Companions Low Health:

“Someone cover Dorian!”

“The Inquisitor needs help!”

“Cassandra’s not looking great!”

“Maker, help Bull!”

“Give Sera some cover!”

Fallen Companions:

“Cole!”

“Dorian, NO!”

“Maker, NO! Inquisitor!”

“The Seeker is down!”

“Varric!”

Location Comments

The Hinterlands:

“All those refugees...”

“At least it’s pretty here.”

“Ferelden has seen so much war.”

Storm Coast:

“I love the rain!”

“Oh, I loved sailing here!”

“No wonder there are so many shipwrecks here.”

Crestwood: 

(Old Crestwood) “All these poor spirits. They don’t want to be here, they just want to know what it’s like but they get stuck when they try to see for themselves. I hope they can find a way back before the worst happens.”

(In the caves) “I’m fairly certain that I can sense the rift beneath us.”

(In the caves) “Those poor people.”

(In the caves) “I wonder if there’s anything interesting here!”

The Western Approach:

“It’s so bright here. I can’t see!”

(Next to the poison hot springs) “I think I can smell the Blight here”

“I wonder how many forgotten ruins are here.”

Emerald Graves:

“Oh, it’s so pretty here!”

“I wonder what kind of flowers I could find here.”

“For the red templars to be here... makes me feel a bit sick.”

“It would be prettier without the Orlesian architecture.”

Exalted Plaines: 

“Demons, the dead walking, an Orlesian civil war, and the Freemen. Only way it could be worse would be if there were darkspawn as well.”

“We should clear a way for that Dalish clan.”

“Right, raising the dead, because there’s no way that could go wrong.”

Emprise Du Lion:

“We left Skyhold just to go somewhere snowy. Lovely.”

“Making lyrium from people? I’m going to be sick.”

“Maker... this is worse than getting the blight. At least someone with that has a tiny little chance to become a Warden!”

Personal Quests

Blood on Your Hands:

Blood on Your Hands is Holly’s personal quest. Once she gets to a certain level of approval, Holly will approach the Inquisitor asking for help locating a tranquil mage she had protected when the circle rebelled. She offered to try to reverse her tranquility, but she refused. Unsure of what to do, she did as the Tranquil asked. She also reveals that they were friends when they were younger, and while Holly believes no mage should be made Tranquil, she believes that her friend was particularly undeserving.

The first step is a war table mission with Leliana as the only option. This will reveal that the tranquil’s last known location was a place in the Brecilian forest. Then the Inquisitor must take Holly to this place. Once there, much to Holly’s horror, they will discover that since the tranquil could not use her magic to defend herself, she was used as a blood sacrifice by a blood mage. It is quickly learned that she is not the only tranquil used as a blood sacrifice either. The Blood Mage says that something about the tranquil make his magic particularly powerful, and he wouldn’t have survived fighting against the templars any other way.

The Inquisitor can either allow Holly to kill the Blood Mage, her preferred outcome, or they can let the blood mage go. If Holly kills the Blood Mage, she will bitterly and mournfully finally open up about the Ostwick Circle’s rebellion. If the Blood Mage is let go, she will stay with the Inquisition, but will no longer be available as a companion. She will not respond if the Inquisitor tries to talk to her.

A Rose by Any Other Name:

This is her romance quest and it’s basically just a silly fetch quest about collecting flowers. Throughout the game, Holly’s love for flowers is very, very apparent, and during a particular cutscene she says something that gives the Inquisitor the idea to get her some fancy flowers. After the Inquisitor gives the specialized bouquet to her, she rewards them with... well I think you can fill in the blanks.

Trespasser

She’s stayed with the Inquisition working as the Inner Circle’s personal healer. At this point she has started making some  headway into helping those infected with red lyrium. She helped Cullen with his lyrium addiction, and is perfecting ways to help with lyrium addictions as well. She goes not only to support the Inquisitor, but also just in case she’s needed.

In the epilogue it says that she is the leading researcher on Lyrium, and is working closely with Orzammar. When she is not working underground she stops by to help Cullen with the recovering templars. She also creates a prosthetic for the Inquisitor. She is well known for still being the Inner Circle’s personal healer when she can. She also stops in the middle of traveling to aid those who are in most need of her abilities.

Trivia

If she and Cullen are not romanced, they will end up in a relationship together. Though, that’s after her calling him out about his views on mages.

She and Leliana get along scarily well.

She absolutely adores nature.

She’s like Cole’s fourth parent

In her fic (Like Lightning in a Bottle) she is both a companion and an advisor. Her title is simply Enchantress.

When they stayed in the Exalted Plains, she secretly healed one of the Halla.

Lightning is her preferred form of battle magic

She focuses on mental health as much as she does physical health

She has a very strong appreciation for the Wardens, though it is nowhere near Blackwall’s idolization

She knows Blackwall is lying right away

FOR TAYLOR RE: TICKETMASTER LOVER FEST PRESALE

Taylor, there’s a lot of VERY VALID and IMPORTANT POSTS being made right now that I STRONGLY agree with and think you should listen to! I’m just making this so you can get the full backstory in one concise place. Click “keep reading”.

People who were verified fans for the Reputation Stadium Tour received emails from Ticketmaster telling them to RSVP for Lover Fest Presale. In the emails, it said the following towards the bottom:

This literally told us that based on our ranking during RepTour time, we’d be placed in a certain spot in line than people who had watched videos of you eating cookie dough and fighting Andy Samberg fewer times.

Then, Ticketmaster tweet pictures giving us information about what to expect for the presale. This information WOULD HAVE BEEN very helpful, had it been true. They reiterated the fact that our boosts from 2017 would help us now.

So, we were thought we were prepared. Cool. We got an email confirming that we were going to get a code and at the bottom, a price range for tickets was included.

This was, largely speaking, all the information we had going into the presale. We still don’t know who’s opening or anything like that (which...I would be more fine with if you’d just SAY “I don’t know who’s opening yet” or something but the stereo silence on the matter rubs me the wrong way, but that’s not really the point of this post).

So it came time. Now this is from my own knowledge of the situation, my own personal experience, and any screenshots I can gather from others. 

I joined the waiting room/queue for Night One of Lover Fest East on my own ticketmaster account at 3:15pm eastern (Gillette Stadium’s local venue time). I joined the queue for Night Two of Lover Fest East on my sister’s ticketmaster account at the same time. We had both done boosts during Rep Tour, but because we ended up deciding to get tickets through my account instead of Laura’s so I knew for a fact that there were hardly ANY boosts on the account we had pulled up for night two. I felt okay with that knowing Kristin (tshifty) was also in the queue for night two on HER ticketmaster account, which she had done as many boosts (or likely more) as I had back in rep era. So, based on the information provided to us by ticketmaster, she should’ve gotten through the night two queue WAY faster than I should’ve.

I got through the night one queue fairly quickly. I received an error message at first saying all the tickets were sold out. Then I was shown a screen saying teh cheapest ticket was $300. Then I refreshed, was finally asked to enter my presale code, and was able to get in for real. I grabbed three nosebleeds for $49.50 each and was shown a “we are securing your tickets” screen for a few minutes and realized it was never going to work, so I refreshed again, and finally got through, securing mine, my mom’s, and my sister’s nosebleeds 21 minutes after the presale began (I am in central time zone, thus the 3:21 timestamp instead of 4:21).

Holly was still in the night one queue, with 2000+ people in front of her. Kristin and I were still in the night two queue, with 2000+ people in front of us. 

I had a class at 3:30 I was supposed to go to, but I realized that my little ticketmaster man was somehow farther ahead than Kristin’s in the night two queue, even though I knew without a doubt in my head that she had more boosts than my sister did on her ticketmaster. 

I’m trying to find the post where it said this because I forgot to save it yesterday, but somewhere someone got it confirmed that boosts did not, in fact, matter. Quite frankly, we don’t even need the confirmation from ticketmaster because we already know. Because I got through the night two queue and bought tickets for me, Laura, Holly, and Kristin for night two of lover fest east finally at 4:25 pm CENTRAL (so 5:24 pm eastern...almost an hour and a half after the presale began). and that’s TAME compared to the amount of time KRISTIN spent in line. she finally got in at 9:27 pm eastern...a full 5 and a half hours after the presale began. and she is nOT the only one who spent this long in line.

plus, she finally got in and found nosebleeds to be sold for $300 to $400 dollars. floor seats were nowhere to be found. you can find more information about that here.

All of this doesn’t even begin to cover how many other people had to deal with this insanity. 

We were told tickets would be max $400 plus SOME platinum tickets. Ticketmaster clearly waited to see how long we’d wait and then skyrockted ALL prices. Even now you can go into the sale and not find a single ticket for less than $300. 

Holly, for instance, who had still been chilling in the night one line, got, along with everyone else in line for night one, an error message saying tickets were sold out. Then minutes later, the error message went away. People probably exited out and lost their place in line after HOURS for nothing because of this.

If you’re reading this and thinking “this post is such a mess” it’s because the SITUATION was a mess. There’s no clear way to explain all of this because Ticketmaster, YET AGAIN, let everyone down. Not only that, they cheated us. They scammed us. Nobody can convince me that the raising of prices midway through the sale (EXPONENTIALLY) wasn’t a money-making scheme on their part. 

Additionally, people were getting kicked out of line, their ticketmaster pages were crashing, their tickets weren’t being secured properly, etc. Ticketmaster, YET AGAIN, didn’t prepare their servers. And they had absolutely NO excuse. This was a VERIFIED FAN ONLY PRESALE. Ticketmaster knew EXACTLY HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD SIGNED UP, and WHAT DATES WERE THEIR PRIORITIES. Ticketmaster had NO reason not to be able to prepare their servers for the huge amount of numbers. To me, it seems like they let it remain slow in order to have time to figure out when and how much to raise the prices of tickets.

Taylor, I have to believe in my heart you didn’t know about this, that it isn’t your fault. To me it looks like you tried to keep your ticket prices at $400 max and while that’s still....very very expensive...that’s at least cheaper relatively speaking when compared to other artist tours of your size. It looks like ticketmaster just ignored that and made most things platinum halfway through so they could make a huge profit. 

So yeah, not your fault. But this is YOUR tour. These are YOUR fans, being schemed out of money, being left without tickets. DO NOT REMAIN COMPLICIT IN THIS. SPEAK UP. SAY SOMETHING. DO SOMETHING. Take a page out of Halsey’s book. Get the tickets back. Sell them at the value they were supposed to be sold at originally. 

You have proven yourself in the past to be a fan-centered person, and for that we have always loved you. Please, stick up for us. Give us a voice, because Ticketmaster WILL NOT listen to us.

Head vs. Heart: Part 1

A discussion on which woman represents Oliver's head (Holly) vs his heart (Shane), complete with gifs. This will cover moments from the Pilot through Truth Be Told.

(@jonesgirl88 KATIE

ARE YOU READY KATIE)

This is going to be so long - I have so many gifs. There will probably be a read more. You've been warned.

Okay so, obviously I still believe that at the time we meet Oliver and Shane Holly is the personification of Oliver's head, and Shane becomes his heart. That got me thinking about all of the moments in the show that led me to believing that. First off, everyone knows that the heart is on the left side of the body. I was curious, so I did a Google search about the left side of the body and what it represents. Now, I'm not saying that I believe this necessarily, but some interesting results came up: the left side of the body is commonly associated with receiving or taking in; the mother; asking for help; and is considered the feminine side. I emphasized those points because I thought they were interesting considering 1) that Oliver's mother abandoned him, and 2) that, as we'll see from the gifs, more often than not when Shane is engaging with the left side of Oliver's body (or he, hers) he's receiving something - usually emotional support and connection.

But really, I was also just thinking that Shane spends a lot of time subconsciously connecting with Oliver's heart. She does this by consistently being present on the left side of his body (physically closest to his heart) in emotionally charged or foundational moments, or Oliver does this by putting/drawing her there. Let's break it down.

Starting here:

The first time Shane asks Oliver to dance, not only is she on his left but she turns so that all of her is oriented toward the left side of his body (his heart). She's also right up in his bubble - and she gets in his bubble a lot. This is before we find out that Oliver doesn't dance, and that he connects this lack of dancing as a reason that his wife was unhappy. Considering how important (and synonymous) dancing becomes to Oliver and Shane's relationship, it's telling that the very first time they do so it's 1) because Shane initiated it, and 2) initiated from Oliver's left side (and physically close to him, not from a distance). But this isn't the moment that first came to mind when I started this project.

This is:

This is after Oliver has shared the pain of his wife leaving him with Shane, and she has shared the pain of her father leaving her at ten years old. Look at where Oliver has drawn her hand into: it's against his chest, over his heart, and completely covered by his own. Shane allows herself to be vulnerable with Oliver and he stops them in the middle of the dance floor and pulls her hand into him like this, so that it's safely sandwiched between his hand and his heart. Oliver doesn't look at her in this moment, but he can't resist connecting with her - and he does so by placing part of her literally against his heart.

After the pilot episode, we jump several episodes forward before we get another moment of connection like this, and it's not surprising that it's in The Masterpiece during that famous dance in the DLO.

Who doesn't love this dance moment? It's easily one of my favorite moments. But I included both of these moments specifically because of the placement of their hands. In the top one, look at the way Oliver once again draws Shane's hand into him. This moment is ridiculously intense: they've stopped moving in any way except toward each other. Oliver's face is getting closer to Shane's and he's once again subconsciously drawing her into his heart (look at the way Shane adjusts her fingers in that top one - it's a tiny movement but it kills me). In the bottom one, Oliver has once again enveloped Shane's hand in his own so completely that you can't actually see it - and he's holding it against his heart. BUT! in that top gif he's staring intensely into Shane's eyes (and at her lips, don't forget that) as he draws her hand in; in the bottom one, his head has kicked in (his duty and promises to Holly and their marriage) and even though Shane is connected to his heart - and he's literally holding her there - he's no longer looking at her, and then he drops her hand and moves away.

In this moment, Shane is his heart (what he wants) and Holly is his head (obligations, promises, duty). We don't see this hand over heart movement again for a while after this, but the symbolism doesn't stop here.

In The Future Me, Oliver and Shane are still at odds. But look at this moment, from early on in the episode. Not only is Shane on Oliver's left, she goes to remove something from his left shoulder and Oliver shies away from her touch. This is interesting for so many reasons: once again, Shane is trying to establish connection with Oliver's heart (aka his left side) and Oliver physically will not let her do so. This is the only time we see him move away from Shane like this - and it happens after their argument about Holly (who, arguably, should be in Oliver's heart ... but maybe isn't there anymore, at least not as firmly as she should be). The moment where Oliver witnesses Ellie removing something from Bobby's shoulder though, Shane is standing to Oliver's left. Interesting ... but let's continue. (gif credit for this gif: alameda and downing blog).

The next time Oliver and Shane dance is at Bobby and Ellie's wedding in The Future Me. At this point, Shane is aware of Oliver's motivations for learning to dance in the first place; they've shared that intense moment in the DLO; and there is no reason for them to dance in this moment, especially if Oliver is trying to follow his head and maintain a professional distance from Shane.

But Oliver wants to dance with her, and his heart wins this moment. Not only is Oliver the one to broach the subject of dancing with an indirect invitation ("We never did get our dance, did we? ... Do you think we could remember the steps?"), but look where Shane is standing. Once again, she's not only on the left side of his body, she's once again turned to face him. This is also interesting blocking since Shane is the one that is more open to/aware of their connection. She's literally facing it, and Oliver, head on. Anyway, after the surprise chemistry of their DLO dance, Oliver lets himself have what he wants in quite an interesting moment: a freaking wedding, of all places. This is also the last time Oliver and Shane dance in the TV series except in flashbacks.

Now, by the time we get to this moment in Dark of Night, we know how much importance Oliver places on this award and those cups. He's proud of his family's work, and the moment he finds out that he and his team are going to receive the Dark of Night award is a huge one for Oliver. In fact, this moment is so foundational that we see it as one of Oliver's flashbacks in The Treasure Box when he's thinking about Shane. And, once again, look where she is:

Not only is she on his left, she's physically connecting with him in that moment, on that side - again. This is even after Oliver has overheard Shane's conversation with Becky and presumably come to the conclusion that Shane is romantically interested in him. And then we get to The Treasure Box. My gosh, my love for this episode knows no bounds. But that's beside the point. (I have a lot of gifs for this one.)

As Oliver and Shane really settle in to reading the letters and connecting with Jonathan and Katherine, we get this moment of Shane seated on the desk to Oliver's left.

Shane spends a lot of time in this episode on Oliver's left. One of the moments that I find interesting that I didn't gif is near the end, when Shane is so upset over thinking that Katherine died (and that they might die). As she becomes increasingly distressed Oliver audibly tries to connect with her by calling her Shane, which she doesn't seem to realize or respond to - so Oliver moves to his left, around the desk, and comes to embrace her. And Shane sees him coming and actually turns to face him but backs up a step or two before letting him approach. I just find this interesting because, at least from the way the scene is shot, it looks like it would have been a shorter distance for Oliver to step to his right and around the desk. It's probably nothing, but still. It made me wonder.

Let's also mention Holly's letter, because earlier in the episode we get to see where Oliver puts it when he's finished writing it:

In his inner left breast pocket. Now, this is the only inside pocket on a suit jacket, but I'm left wondering why he puts it there when we were shown not many moments before that Oliver has his briefcase with him. He easily could have put it in there for safe keeping, but he doesn't. He puts it in a place that's close to his heart, and it stays there ... until after he and Shane read those letters and are free to leave the vault, at which point the letter falls out and Shane is the one to return it to him with the words "you forgot this." Oliver puts the only physical piece of Holly we've seen up to this point close to his heart and it literally will not stay there - and he doesn't even know that it's gone until Shane points it out. I think it's safe to say that at this point, Holly's grasp on Oliver's heart is tenuous at best. It's not an organic connection - Oliver is consciously having to put her there, and her presence is being overshadowed more and more by Shane. Nothing truly tangible of Holly is left in Oliver's heart, just memories and echoes.

This moment is just cute. But also, look at Shane's hand: it's completely covering Oliver's left hand and wedding ring.

.... And apparently I've hit the limit for number of gifs you can put per post! LOL!! I guess even tumblr is telling me that we're going too deep, but whatever. That just means we're moving on to a part two!

Welcome to Bucksimgham Palace!! A private tour of the state apartments

Welcome to another, undergoing, building project for the Simpire simblr story :)

As I mentioned in the last post, The Imperial family is in Bucksimgham palace, the official residence of Her Highness Dowager Tsarina’s sister Queen Elisabeth II of United Simgdom, for the birthday celebrations.

This project wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing contents of numerous creators, many researches and photos but ,most importantly, the amazing Buckingham Palace project from @thesimquisition, the inspiration It gave me and the plans he shared (the rooms are almost the same size :) )

Thanks to all!!! 

Now let’s start the tour of my version of this Grand Palace, the closest I could get to reality, hope you enjoy the tour as much as I’m loving building it :)

Her Majesty, Queen Elisabeth II of United Simgdom Welcomes you into her official residence, the grand Bucksimgham Palace. Since her majesty and her guests are in residence for the birthday celebrations, our tour will be restricted to the state apartments of the Piano Nobile. (the rooms that are finished 😅)

As we pass through the main archway, under the front wing of the palace, we are greeted by the palace Inner courtyard, we can see the West Wing and the entrance portico, part of the oldest section of the palace, from the Victorian Age. 

For this special tour you are invited to enter the palace through the portico into the Grand Entrance of the palace, if you may follow me and climb the steps... 

Welcome inside the palace Grand Entrance. For centuries architecture has been used as a way to show power, in this case royal power, the intention of the architect when creating this amazing sunken space was to, on one side and as explained by @thesimquisition​, give a high ceiling effect but also to create an architectonic narrative, a symbolic promenade. 

From Darkness to Light... as we enter the palace we are greeted by a grand, but rather darker space, but, as we approach the sovereign (Throne room) the rooms gets lighter and lighter... The sovereign is the light...

From this room we can get access to the grand rooms on the ground floor (still in progress) and to the Piano Nobile through the Grand Staircase. But, before we continue to the upper floor, we can visit the Marble Hall...

This amazing hall, filled with portraits and sculptures from Her majesty collection, gives access to both the state apartments in the ground floor and some of the guest apartments. At the end of this hall we find the Ambassador’s Staircase.

As we make our way to the state apartments, we return to the Grand entrance...

...where we find the foot of the Grand Staircase, if you would like to follow me...

... Welcome to the Grand Staircase, this magnificent white and gold room filled with paintings gives access to the state apartments of the palace. From one side we can get access to the Throne Room and, through the other, we can get access to the East gallery and the Grand Ballroom..

Please follow me as we continue to climb the stairs into the state apartments...

As we get to the top of the Grand staircase, we are greeted by this small room where we can find the statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, the royal couple that made Buckingham Palace what it is today, let’s continue our tour to the...

Green drawing room. This amazing room in green, white and gold is the first grand room of the state apartments and it distributes the visitor into the Picture Gallery and...

... to the next room in our tour...

... The Throne room...

This red and gold room is the most symbolic room in the palace and the last in the symbolic power promenade. The interior designed by John Nash, features a plaster frieze showing scenes from the Wars of the Roses.

Today this room is the symbol of the monarchy, many thrones of different monarchs are displayed here, all surrounding the baldacchino with the current monarch, and her consort, thrones. 

On the left side, we can see (my remake of) the portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II with Willow, Vulcan, Candy and Holly commissioned by the Royal Mail Group last 2013. Shall we continue the tour through the next room.

 On the main floor, right above the Marble Hall, we can find the Picture Gallery. An amazing and long gallery that connects all the state apartments and displays part of HM collection of 17th century Italian, Dutch and Flemish art works. Receptions usually happen in this room as well as smaller banquets.

Now shall we continue to the most famous enfilade of rooms, and the most recognizable in all the palace. The first room we will find is the...

...White Drawing Room, one of the most famous rooms of the State apartments. 

It is usually in this room where the queen greets guests, hosts small gatherings, audiences as well as grand family occasions. 

Now let us proceed to the next room on our tour.

Now we enter the Music room set of some state occasions, small events, many official portraits, tv appearances of the royal family and photos with foreign heads of state.

The next stop on our tour is (my favorite room of all) the Blue Drawing Room. Named by its decor featuring blue flock wallpaper and columns painted to resemble the onyx stone.

This long and really ornate room became very well known for HM young portraits with HRH Prince Philipe as well as from some state occasions. The next room in our tour, is the...

... State Dining Room. This red and gold room is usually reserved for smaller banquets and reception (larger events as well as State Banquets are held in The Grand Ballroom)

Now that we have seen all the grand state apartments...

we will continue our way into the Bucksimgham Palace grandest room. If you please follow me, we will...

... pass through  the West gallery, this gallery connects the state apartments with the Grand Ballroom, we will continue our tour and take the door on our left and we will find the...

... Cross Gallery, a smaller gallery that connects the West Gallery with the famous and well know East gallery...

This long gallery connects the State apartments, through the Silk Tapestry room and the Picture gallery, and the Grand Staircase with the Grand Ballroom. But just before we enter this great room we will turn left and enter the first door on our Right to discover...

...the Ball supper room. This room was created by Queen Victoria for, as the name indicates, small banquets before the grandiose balls (after Prince Albert death this events were canceled and the room lost his function). Today it is mainly used as a space for temporary exhibitions. Now let’s return into the East gallery to continue our tour. 

Now we welcome you into the...

...Grand ballroom. The largest and most grandiose room in the palace as well as set of grand events.

Presided by two thrones, this majestic room receives foreign leaders in extravagant state banquets as well as HM investitures. It is the face of Buckingham in the world...

On the opposite side of the thrones, a grand pipe organ was built to give music in the grandest occasions. Today the room is getting ready to receive HM Birthday banquet, a special occasion that will be attended by fellow monarchs, family, Nobility and friends (the table is prepared for 84 guests).

Now I Leave you with an exterior picture of the back side of the palace (the almost finished part 😅)

Hope you enjoyed your tour through the state apartments of HM official residence. This will be one of the palaces featuring in the story and another family to be followed (not as much as my beloved Simnov)

Her Majesty and her guests are getting ready for the birthday celebrations, to welcome the rest of the family and fellow royals for the grand banquet. Hope to see you soon :)

Sorry for another very long post, but I could not find a way to reduce the number of photos 😅.

 Thanks to all the cc creators that made the most amazing content!! to @felixandresims​ for the always amazing architectonic and decor objects, @harrie-cc​ for building inspiration and re-colors, @thejim07​ and @the-regal-sim​ for the amazing paintings, sculptures and furniture, and many others that created wonderful objects (sorry if I forgot someone) Thanks also to @thesimquisition​ for the building inspiration, the most amazing palace plans (from where I could calculate room sizes) and the interiors.

Hope you continue to enjoy the story and the many other buildings, still WIP, I’m working on (Sorry if I never show the full building, but I’m always working on so many projects at the same time and the first parts I finished are the ones needed for the Story, in this case the state apartments :), I really have to try to focus and complete the projects!!)

The imperial family is getting ready to greet the rest of the family and fellow monarchs!! the Banquet will be soon !!

Jotaro - Fanletters

This is cross-posted from Wattpad and available on AO3.

Enjoy~

You and the infamous Jotaro were pretty close friends. It was really a weird friendship, but it worked out well. You knew each other from elementary school and lived 2 blocks away from each other. Your parents were nicely acquainted as well.

You basically grew up together. Overtime, you learned to manage his edgy nature and embrace his odd gestures of kindness while he learned to tolerate your eccentrism and appreciate your patience towards him.

In any other circumstances, you both would have never even been friends, but fate worked like that sometimes. You wouldn't trade Jotaro for anything in the world and he wouldn't let anyone think of even touching you.

Of course, everybody at school knew about the Jojo-Y/N duo. Everybody wondered how a girl like Y/N managed to get to the stone cold Jojo, and how a guy like Jojo could even bear the presence of the freaky Y/N.

Some were jealous, some were excited, and some were completely indifferent to the chemistry of the two.

And between some jealous fangirls stood some who wanted to take advantage of your accessibility to pass some messages, letters, gifts and many more to the lady-killer Jojo.

It has become a habit for you now, you didn't really mind, even if it could be bothersome sometimes. It was actually pretty entertaining for you. You were the person who received the most love letters at school, with your shoe locker and desk always filled to the brim, too bad they weren't from your fervant admirers, but Jotaro's.

You would usually just take the love letters to him but you always got the same response of denial. Telling you to just throw them away or whatever. But you would always try and convince him to read some of them with you, since 'it could be fun'.

"Yooo Jojo that one is wild look at that! Ewwww! Would you even do that to a woman? No that's straight up EVIL!" you showed him the letter as he was laying on his bed and you were sat at his desk.

"Yare yare daze... I don't want to see it" he huffed, not wanting to deal with yet another cringy lustful confession.

You two would spend some afternoons like this. Sometimes you felt like his personal assistant sorting out his mailbox or something.

One day was very special though.

At the end of one school day, you were assigned in cleaning duty. After cleaning with the other assigned students, you stayed a bit later to empty your shoe locker and desk which took forever. Everyone was gone by now and you were heading back to the classroom to get your bag and finally call it a day.

You got the lockers and opened yours to get your shoes but found one single letter left there.

"Oh? I forgot one... I was sure I got everything... Did someone just put it in? Eh whatever."

You took the letter, put on your shoes and decided you'll pass by Jotaro's house to give him the letter, even if you knew he couldn't care less about it.

"What do you want?" he grunted, but opened the door wide to let you in. The duality of the guy.

"Oh nothing important, just this." you handed the pastel pink enveloppe. "It sat in my locker, alone and afraid." you joked.

Jotaro reluctantly took the letter in his hand. He was ready to just tell you off and shoving it back into your face, but then he noticed what was written on the other side of the enveloppe.

'For Y/N <3'

Jotaro let appear a tiny smirk on his strong features. Things just got interesting for him. If you brought him the letter, that means you didn't notice it was for you.

To your surprise, Jotaro kept the letter and put it aside.

"Huh? You're not going to tell me to throw it away or shove it up my ass or something?" you said a bit baffled.

"No, I'll do it myself." he turned and tossed it on a nearby table.

"HUH ??? SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS???"

You then felt Star Platinum slap you across the back of the head with a nice 'ORA!'

"Owowow!" you cried a little while rubbing your head. Jotaro turned around muttering his iconic "yare yare daze".

Later that evening, when you were already gone home, Jotaro took the liberty to read the letter, wondering what kind of boy could even be interested in you, and see who he had to pick a fight with.

He read the entire thing, and throughout the reading he thought that person was acting pretty mysterious, it was very different from the letters that he recieved from his fangirls.

No, here the letter was filled with many "I'll understand if you don't really roll that way" or "I know it's weird, please don't take this the wrong way". Basically the letter felt very apologetic and the person was obviously self conscious.

At first Jotaro didn't understand why until he read the name of the sender.

'Kaneda Mokou'

He froze. 'Mokou'? So it was a girl. Well at least he wouldn't have to fight anyone so that's good, but also it was interesting.

A girl was into you. Romantically. Or even more. How cute.

He leaned back in his chair, wondering what your reaction would be when he'll break it down to you.

Even if you had a weird sense of humor and overall weird personality, he knew you were very kind, too kind to confront these situations by yourself, especially if you had to reject someone.

He expected the next day greatly.

You went to pick Jotaro up to walk to school with him. You greeted Holly and went on your way with him.

"Aaah it's way too early, be my pillow Jojo." You leaned lazily on his arm without even waiting for his response and he just let you be, too tired to deal with your shenanigans right now.

After a brief moment of silence with both of you peacefully walking, Jotaro broke the ice suddenly.

"Y/N, what about girls?" he blurted. You stood back straight and looked at him like he was the craziest man on earth.

"What the hell is that question, out of nowhere? About your fangirls, you mean?"

"What if a girl liked you?" he looked straight ahead so you couldn't read his eyes, but he seemed serious.

"Aaah...." you paused to think. "I think I'd be flattered, but also sad that she would like me of all girls haha wouldn't that be funny? Not like it will happen anytime soon. Why? Did a guy ask you out again? Was it the letter from yesterday?"

He stopped in his tracks and had a scary glint in his eyes as he took the now opened letter from his pockets and handed it to you.

You hesitated and looked at him with worry.

"You scare me Jojo, what's going on?" he didn't reply. You just took the time to read the letter and realized it was not aimed at Jotaro at all, but at you!

You blushed at the realization and looked at him, but he ushered you to continue reading with his gaze.

Your face reddened the more you read the letter. The tender words of affection, the compliments, the poetic lines and the saddening doubt in the sender's words.

You finished reading and gasped when you saw that it was from your classmate Kaneda Mokou.

"W-waaah!!! Mokou-chan likes me???" You squirmed in embarrassment and stared at Jotaro who seemed amused by the ordeal.

"YOU KNEW IT DIDN'T YOU?? THIS IS WHY YOU KEPT THE LETTER !! YOU SHOULD HAVE SHOVED IT UP YOUR ASS LIKE YOU SAID INSTEAD OF READING IT!"

Jotaro was this close to slapping you to space.

"Just go see her before I kick your ass" the boy growled.

"Hey Jojo, what do you think I should tell her?" you said recovering from your flushed state.

"I don't give a shit it's on you."

"So you wouldn't mind if she becomes my giiiirlfriend~ ?" you said with a teasing tone.

Jotaro flinched and didn't answer for a moment.

"...Do you want to?" he mumbled.

"I don't know, will you be okay with me kissing her and holding her hand and-"

He suddenly grabbed your shoulders, turned you around and shoved you forward.

"Just walk already we're late" he stayed behind you to hide his growing blush.

To be honest Jotaro had this tiny crush on you but even he barely realized it. He was very protective of you and swore he would beat the crap out of any guys that would confess to you, but now that the opponent was a girl he was lost.

Did he have competition? Were you even interested in girls? Or even interested in trying? What should he do?

He thought you would just be a coward and act as if the letter never existed, but now you acted like you were contemplating the offer a lot and that brought a sweat to his brow.

At the end of the day, you decided to talk to Mokou to give her your answer. Jotaro decided to wait for you a few feet away where he couldn't hear what you were saying.

After a few minutes of talking and even some laughing, Jotaro saw you both hug and then separate before bidding each other goodbye. You then joined your tall friend and he didn't say anything but his eyes spoke the question for him.

"Hmmm can you guess? Did I say yes or no?"

"Cut the crap Y/N."

"So impatient! To be honest I wouldn't have minded but..." you blushed a little bit and he raised an eyebrow at you "I think... I need someone that's a bit more like you, Jojo." You added, embarassed.

He showed you a surprised face a this sudden confession. Before he could react any further you continued.

"She wouldn't have put up with me I think. She's very nice and sweet, but she probably would have dumped me after, like, 3 days. Can't blame her haha." you laughed sheepishly.

"Good." Jotaro said turning around. You were confused at his reaction.

"Good? What do you mean 'good'? How is me being dumpable any good? Hey, come back here! ...Jojo! SLOW DOWN YOU'RE TOO FAST! JOJOOOOOO !!!"

He ignored you and speedwalked away from you as you started jogging to catch up to him.

That basically was your relationship with Jotaro Kujo. There was a hint of something more than friendship between you two, but neither of you could put your fingers on it.

"Finally haaah... I caught up to you haaa, you freaking daddy-long-legs" you panted.

He smirked and grabbed you in a headlock.

"Oi, that hurts let me go!" you hit his arm repeatedly, asking for mercy.

"You said you wanted me to be your pillow" he said, dragging you back home.

You only knew that you wanted to be with each other, and no one else.

"Yare yare daze..."

"...That's my catchphrase."

Borahae Slimes Haul #3!

This was from April... and Dean has already released his next set of slimes (which I received and LOVED getting to play with last night!). And I don't have any time because I have work and need to finish packing to move in 3 days so I'm making this post on mobile while I work 😅

Support Dean's slime shop, BorahaeSlimes on Etsy, and view its blog here on tumblr, @borahaeslimes . If you're 18+ and enjoy BTS mxm, then visit his writing blog @eternalseokjin for some high quality fics!

HERE WE GO! And please ignore my computer and mess in the background lol

As always, packaging was super secure and everything arrived perfectly and safely! I bought Genius Lab, Min Holly, and Nevermind Me. The package came with the usual goodies--photocards and stickers, candy, one of those extra heart charms Dean is still trying to finish getting rid of (lol), plenty of borax powder, and a thank you card (which I apparently forgot to take a picture of lol)!

Genius Lab is a GORGEOUS silver slime with black elastic pieces and music notes as add-ins. The elastic especially gives it a really cool feel when you stretch the slime! It smells kinda musky but also kinda clean, and it just smells really nice but not overpowering.

Min Holly is so cool! It was my first time playing with a butter slime and oh my gosh I loved it! It's so soft and smooth and just really fun. It legit smells like grass and earth, so for a nature lover like me it smells wonderful! The charms are also super cute. Unfortunately this one does stain your hands a bit yellow. But that washes off with some soap and water no problem! Just be more careful than I was to not stain your clear slimes by playing with them after this one! My poor Nevermind Me now has a yellow tint to it v.v

This gorgeous crunch bomb came with some extra beads and blocks just in case you can't take too much crunch! It's such a gorgeous clear purple with plentiful sparkles, and is very fun to play with (until my hands start hurting because I can only take so much crunch lol). The smell is very crisp and I find it relaxing :)

The extra slime was a basic pastel green slime. Not much to talk about really, but I think it's always good to have a small one on hand for when you just need something quick!

As always, everything was amazing and well thought out. I love how creative Dean gets with his slimes! After I get settled into my new house, I am EXCITED to write a review of all seven slimes from the BTS anniversary release!!!!

Are you ever filled with a sense of wrongness? It’s that feeling in the pit of your stomach and it feels like you’re internally twisting and squelching the urge to scream? That’s me writing this post right now! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I missed a few days and now the posts are out-of-order and if I ever decide to post about the missed days in the future and it kills me inside... OMG, I think my eyes are tearing up. SOMEONE PLEASE GET ME A MAN WITH BIG, STRONG ARMS TO ROCK ME! This is not a drill! 😭 

...

Let’s move on. 👉🏾👈🏾

Today resulted in a shift in my lifestyle that will hopefully be used as a benchmark for the many days to come. For the past 2 weeks, my sleeping schedule has been so unhealthy to the point where I’ve been consistently sleeping through 3+ alarms. Never in my life had it gotten so bad and a bish could only admit she was sick when she was would stare at herself in the mirror at 4AM while taking a piss. 😫

But today was different! Lemme give you the rundown:

Slept at 1AM which is amazing for me LOL.

6:30-7:30AM: Woke up and worked out (arms)! 

Cardio (20 mins): Ran 1 mile in 15 mins. 

Did a cool down for an additional 5 mins listening to my bihh Bree Runway. 

Daily Arm Workout (7 mins): Holly’s Quick + Intense Arm Workout

Arm Workout 1 (10 mins): Pamela’s Toned Arms Workout

Arm Workout 2 (7 mins): Tracy Campoly’s Bat Wings II

Stretch (15 mins)

7:30-9:00AM: Made cute egg sandwiches and a superfood smoothie with my Mom. 

First thing she said to me this morning was that she was proud of me. That’s all an immigrant’s daughter wants to hear! 😭 

9:00-9:30AM: Met my “buddy”/mentor at work and he’s amazing. 

Imma be honest... My last internships onboarding sucked and it followed me throughout the year. 

My first day consisted of setting my environment with tools I’ve never heard of. A lot of information was thrown my way and it went over my head. That’s normal.

However, what wasn’t normal was that I was watching Udemy courses for 1.5-2 weeks! Like COME ON! You really don’t know what to do with me!

And then I get my first task in the infamous backend with no understanding of the technologies used and how to build/test. I was assumed to know...

It was so bad... How do you ask for help when you don’t even know where to begin or how to articulate the question? I never received a proper full demo of the product and was never given a walkthrough of the codebase. 

This pissed me off later because I saw the same buddy I was assigned to on my first team give a demo and multiple codebase walkthroughs with a new hire. So they were worthy of it but not me? OK, I see what’s up.

Overall, my onboarding killed my confidence and made me scared to ask anything because I felt like such an inconvenience. It took me months to break me out of it (although I appeared confident and happy). I sometimes get sad thinking about it now, but I’m not solely to blame. Took me a long time to understand that. 

It helped when I compared my onboarding with the other intern group that came later and led some of the workshops. Saw how clueless they were too and how I was never given the same opportunities to learn in a guided environment.

My manager (who was so kind and genuine) saw how bad it was and apologized for it. He was the only one who pushed for me to have ownership on a project, and my buddy even protested giving it to me. Why did they underestimate me so much... 

But for my current internship? A-M-A-Z-I-N-G so far! 

I have already received two demos of the product.

I’ve been told specifically about upcoming projects the team will be undertaking and given expectations.

Have a couple of codebase walkthroughs already scheduled! 

Given quick, easy-to-digest resources for serivces I am unfamiliar with. 

And the best thing... My buddy doesn’t assume any of my knowledge and I know I’ve been impressing him with how quick I’ve been so far (it helps when you’ve worked at the company before LOL). it actually boggles my mind how much support I’m getting from him and I’m so appreciative.

9:30-10:00AM: Met the rest of the team. Again, this meeting was facilitated by my buddy and he warned me about the questions they would ask me. I don’t deserve him 😭 ACTUALLY... NO, I DO HAHA! His investment will pay off. 💪🏾

10:00AM-1:30PM: Intern Orientation

This was lowkey painful as it was so long and it repeated a lot of information I already knew.

It picked up near the end as the interns got more active in the chat and created a discord server and a few slack channels. 🤗

1:30PM-5:00PM

I ate food somewhere in this time frame...

Worked on fixing some of my backend problems with my buddy.

Finished a training video for new hires.

Made a record of all I did thus far on GitHub.

The remainder of my day:

Spent time in the backyard with the fam. Today is a celebratory day for my people in successfully overthrowing a terrorist regime in Ethiopia.

My mom decorated the backyard. My parents were forcing me to take videos/put them on live to share with their friends LOL.

My mom dressed a life-sized ratchet Barbie doll in the Ethiopian flag and Akira (my dog) was running for his life away from it. 🤣🤣

I played one game of skribble.io with some interns. They were so cute and one of the girls reached out to me and recognized me from a panel. 🤪 She kept saying it was my energy/style that made me recognizable and I was so flattered. 🥺

Finished the group registration for Ada’s Team (something I forgot about and was putting off. Finally did it though!)

Caught up with people from the Ethiopia COVID-19 Response Team slack and gave updates.

Some random person reached out to me and was gushing how amazing I was. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I looked into him and he works at Amazon -- a bish wasn’t ready for the love! 

...

I wrote so much WTF. WHY THO?!

Whatever, this was therapeutic. Starting this internship and comparing it with my previous one has has reignited the toxic resentment I have towards my onboarding experience. Thank you Mimi, Aysha, and Tumblr for facilitating my healing as now I realize I have a problem I need to deal with LOL.

OK, that’s enough! Goodnight. 😘

Reindeer Games (Madderton fic)

Hiya, friends! The inspiration for this fic came from a number of places! This is a fill for an anon ask I received for fluff prompt #25- “why don’t you take a picture? It’ll last longer.” Second, it’s very much inspired by an idea that my lovely friend @ilikeyouxactually came up with and batted around with me, which was inspired wholly by an adorable picture of Richard in a pair of footie pajamas (which I can’t find at the moment lol). Thank you Jess, and thank you anon! This is fluff on top of fluff, so i hope you all enjoy. Also it’s long af, 1300 words.

Also, I feel like this would’ve been more fun posted around Christmastime but since Taron posted himself with Santa today, who am I to say it’s not Christmastime now? Have a holly jolly Christmas, Madderton friends!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was nothing in the world like Christmastime in London, Richard was convinced. Snow blanketed the city, coated the street benches, made everything quieter. Strings of twinkling Christmas lights covered every surface, it seemed, hung suspended from street posts and lit up the dark, early evening sky. His hand, covered in fuzzy wool gloves, held Taron’s, their fingers intertwined. 

He snuck a peek at T’s face, his hair hidden by the stocking cap pulled over his head and an oversized scarf wound tightly around his neck. His nose and cheeks were pink from the cold, flushed and adorable, but his eyes were what made Richard’s heart trip. He watched as they lit up with wonder at the snow and the lights, almost child-like in their innocence and simple happiness. 

Richard couldn’t help it as he stopped short, stopping Taron as well. Taron looked at him with confusion in his eyes until Richard tugged him, gently, close to his body by his scarf and kissed him softly. “My beautiful boy,” he whispered, and bit down just so on Taron’s lower lip. Taron’s face flushed deeper, and a tiny whine came from the back of his throat.

“Richie…” Taron whispered, pushing his hips into Richard and pressing his body against him.

Richard smiled into Taron’s mouth, and kissed him quickly on the cheek. “Later, bubs. Remember why we’re even out tonight?”

Taron sighed, rolled his eyes and pouted, annoyed at the fact that he couldn’t continue to kiss his boyfriend underneath the snowy London sky. “Yeah, yeah. I know.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ten minutes later they found themselves in a brightly lit, garishly decorated department store, shopping for last-minute gifts. They’d pushed off their Christmas shopping as late as Richard would allow it, a week before the holiday, and then he’d dragged Taron off to search for gifts. 

Taron was off hunting for the perfect present for his younger sisters, while Richard scanned the aisles for something for his mum. She was impossible to buy for, she never gave him any idea what she wanted, and he’d gotten her that robe for Mother’s Day and...

“Oh. my. God.”

Richard heard Taron’s voice drift from the next aisle over, and he paused, his fingers touching a pair of slippers. It was Taron’s eager voice, his excited voice, and Richard knew from experience that this would be interesting, to say the least. If not a little frightening.

“Oh. My GOD.” Taron’s exclamation the second time around was followed by what Richard could only ruefully call a giggle. Richard sighed. 

“Oi, love. What on earth are ya doin’?” Richard called, pitching his voice so that it traveled over to the next aisle. 

There was the sound of scurrying footsteps, and then Taron burst into Richard’s aisle, a gleeful smile on his face. “Would you look at these?” he asked excitedly, holding up a pair of pajamas enthusiastically in Richard’s face. 

They weren’t just any pajamas, however. Taron was clutching a brown pair of footie pajamas, designed to make whatever poor sap had to wear them look like a reindeer. The hood that flapped from the shoulders had a pair of bright red antlers sticking out of the top with eyes and a red nose like Rudolph. The belly of the pajamas was a lighter brown than the rest of it, and the they ended at the bottom in slippered feet made to look like animal paws. Richard’s jaw dropped. 

“It’s a onesie!” Taron crowed, and Richard looked at him like he’d gone insane. 

“It has antlers, for Christ’s sake,” Richard muttered, and Taron nodded enthusiastically. 

“Yeah! And look at the bum!” Taron flipped it around, revealing a tiny tail right over the seat of the pajamas. “They’re so cute! We have to get them.” 

“Taron David Egerton. No.”

“Rich--”

“NO. There’s no way you’re getting to me wear those. I’m a grown man!” 

“Darling, you’d look positively adorable. We would look positively adorable. Please?” Taron stared at him happily, looking like a tiny, eager puppy. His eyes held the same look of childish wonder that they’d held earlier, and Richard felt his heart start caving. Keep it together, Madden, he wants to dress you up like a reindeer.

“Oh, it’s we now? Now we’re going to match?” Richard asked, crossing his arms stubbornly. 

“Yes! They have both of our sizes. It’ll be lovely. Please, Richie? Please? Just something fun for our first Christmas together?” Taron’s lower lip stuck out, just slightly, in a maddeningly adorable pout that Richard was no match for. He sighed wearily and closed his eyes. 

“Fine. But so help me God, we wear them at home, alone, and no one sees, alright?” Richard said, pointing his finger at Taron sternly. 

“Yes, yes, of course. God, I’m bloody excited,” he said cheerfully, rushing over to the next aisle to comb through the stack and collect the other size he needed. 

“Did you find presents for your sisters?” Richard asked, joining him the next aisle over, having decided on the slippers for his Mum. 

“What? Oh, right. I forgot all about them when I saw these,” he said, holding up the matching onesies. 

Richard sighed. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next week flew by, and before they knew it, it was Christmas Eve. Richard had promised Taron they could wear the pajamas on the night before Christmas, but he had secretly hoped that he’d forget about it. 

He’d hoped for this, despite knowing that Taron’s mind was like a steel trap, especially for things he was excited about. 

Sure enough, as soon as the family was gone, he thrust Richard’s pajamas into his hands excitedly and said, “Go! Change!” 

Richard sighed, grumbled, and went to their bedroom, shutting the door behind him with a soft click. He stripped off his jeans and sweater, feeling particularly vulnerable for some reason as he approached the brown footie pajamas in nothing but his underwear. He wriggled into them, shoved his arms into the sleeves, and zipped himself up the middle. With trepidation, he turned and faced himself in the full-length mirror, wiggling his toes around in the sweaty booties. 

“Bloody hell.” 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Richard shuffled into the living room, his antlered head hung low, and only looked up when he heard the unmistakable sound of Taron’s giggle. He was standing by their Christmas tree, decked out in the same onesie as Richard, his hands clasped together in glee. 

“I hate you,” Richard said, but there wasn’t an ounce of truth to it, the hardened front he was trying to put on betrayed by the small, sweet smile on his face. 

“You are the cutest fucking thing I’ve ever seen,” Taron said, slipping his arms around Richard’s waist and drawing him close. He kissed him, softly, sweetly, his eyes closed and a smile on his lips when he pulled away. His long eyelashes fanned his cheeks and Richard’s heart fluttered. He laid his head on Taron’s shoulder gently. 

“I love you,” he murmured into the soft fuzz of Taron’s onesie. 

“Back at ya, darlin’,” Taron said. “I made you a drink, figured you might like one since you’re forced to wear this.” 

He handed over the Manhattan he’d made him, and as Richard sipped it he noticed Taron staring at him frankly. 

“Why don’t you take a picture? It’ll last longer,” Richard said with a smirk, setting his drink down on the table and playfully wiggling his makeshift tail in Taron’s direction. 

“Okay,” Taron said with his own grin, and suddenly his arm was around Richard, pulling him close, and his phone was in the other hand, snapping a quick selfie that was reminiscent of their Carpool Karaoke shenanigans. Richard’s face was open in surprise, and Taron’s grin was spread from ear-to-ear. 

“T, I told you no one can see us in these!” Richard cried. 

“Hey, you told me to take a picture! Besides, you look fucking adorable. They’re going to go mad over this.” 

“They? Who’s they?” Richard asked suspiciously as Taron tapped away on his phone. 

“Our adoring fans, of course,” Taron said, wiggling his eyebrows as he clicked ‘post’ on his Instagram. “Think of the ideas it’ll give them.” 

Richard sighed, but, as usual, was unable to be mad. How could he be mad at his boyfriend when he was this adorable little reindeer? 

Bollocks.
