Ispo vid: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeBcyGCj/

Hii, I am so sorry that I didn’t finish your request yesterday but I had an English exam today and couldn’t write. I still hope you like what I have done with your request, even if it’s the 15th.💕

Be my Valentine

Warnings: Fluff, Not proof-read, English is not my first language

Pairing: Rafe Cameron x reader

It was yours and Rafe's first Valentine's Day together, and you wanted to make him the most special gift he ever got.

For a few days, you worked on a little book. A book that should show Rafe how much you loved him. There were pictures, little notes, tickets from various occasions, and even a few pages of your diary.

Everything was perfect, and you couldn't wait to hand your present to your boyfriend.

————

Finally, it was February 14th. Rafe insisted on taking you out to a fancy restaurant. He even bought you a new dress with matching shoes. Just like all the other times, he spent so much money on you—too much money.

Suddenly, you felt a little embarrassed about the fact that all you had for him was a book.

"Thank you for the evening, Rafe, and all the gifts." You smiled up at him as the two of you entered your room.

"You deserve a lot more, princess." He kissed your lips, placing his hands on your waist before he pulled you towards him.

After a few minutes of making out, you took a step back, earning a frown from Rafe.

"I also have something for you. It didn't cost me a fortune, but I hope you like it." You mumbled shyly, taking the book out of your bedside table.

As you handed him the book, his eyes widened a little. No one ever took the time to make something so personal for him.

"Thank you, princess. Thank you so fucking much." His voice was slightly cracking.

"I love you," You smiled.

"I love you more." He answered, kissing you once again.

After you pulled away, you spoke quickly, "Open the book. I want to see your reaction."

"Always so impatient." He chuckled before he finally opened the book you made him with all the love you could give.

Dear, Diary June 6th

I met a boy today, his name is Rafe. He was quite nice to me, but I know what people on the island say about him. They say he is a psycho, but I don't know if I should believe such rumors. It doesn't matter anyway. I will probably never talk to him again.

Love, Y/n

That was the first entry you ever made about him, and he couldn't help but smile. He thanked the universe every day that he got you in his life.

Then he looked at all the pages that were covered with little notes he gave you, pictures of the two of you, and all sorts of memorabilia.

He smiled to himself and started to read the next diary entries.

Dear Diary, August 20th

I am going on a date with Rafe. I can't believe it. Me, Y/n, going on a date with the famous Rafe Cameron. I am so excited. He said he would take me to the mainland. I have never been there, but I am sure it's awesome.

See you soon, Y/n

Dear Diary, August 23rd

The date was amazing. Rafe took me to an expensive restaurant, even if I told him not to spend so much money on me. I guess Rafe is a little stubborn when it comes to that.

Love, Y/n

Dear diary, September 2nd

Oh my god. I just had my first kiss with Rafe fucking Cameron. I am so happy right now. We were at the beach, watched the sunset, and then it just happened.

Y/n

Dear Diary, October 30th

Rafe and I are officially together now. Yesterday, I met his family. They were really nice to me, I hope they like me. After we went to bed that day, I suddenly heard him whisper, 'I love you'. He still thinks I was asleep, but I heard it. I think I love him too.

Love Y/n

"You heard that?" He chuckled, shaking his head.

You couldn't help but smile, "I could never miss one of your 'I love you's."

(I wrote this on the train coming home on August 26th although I am just getting around to posting it now because time is a weird soup.)

So okay.

****

I haven’t written a personal journal post in a long time but I want to write down EVERYTHING I can remember about my adventure to NYC to see the Critical Role cast so I don’t forget. It was SUCH a moving experience and I’m so glad I went even though I was scared.

So okay my big goal for this year was to finish the first chapter of my C3 prequel fan comic A Long Road Home (southerngothiccomic.com), have a print edition made, and meet Laura and Marisha at a convention so I could give copies of it to them in person. When the CR cast announced they were going to be at Anime NYC this year I figured that was the closest they were probably going to get to me in Virginia. (And getting autographs at NYCC is reportedly like hunting a unicorn so I figured this would be my best chance.)

I was also terrified, and almost talked myself out of it because I was nervous about giving them the comic, even though I already had a badge and it was what I really, really wanted to do. I know the cast loves to see fanart — and also, it has been revealed, reads the fanfic — but it’s also a pretty well-known taboo for a fan to show their fanfic to a creator and a graphic novel is an unholy hybrid of the two. I was also worried that it would seem presumptuous of me to present them with a fanmade prequel graphic novel because there’s almost certainly going to be an official one at some point, and afraid that at best they might politely tell me they couldn’t accept it (for the reasons that comic writers aren’t “allowed” to read fanfic), and at worst they might be kind of annoyed that it exists. Either way I’d be REALLY sad, and in the weeks leading up to the con I worked myself up into an irrational panic about this. Fortunately my friends managed to talk me into not backing out (and spoilers: it turned out okay in the end!) but I was still very scared.

Also I was so focused on the comic stuff that I forgot until after GenCon earlier this month to think of what I wanted to actually have autographed. I decided to get a big print of the chapter one cover from INPRNT, assuming that since I ordered it two weeks in advance with an eta of 5-7 days that would be plenty of time for it to get to me. Well, reader, it was not. (But please do not let me dissuade you from using INPRNT! To their credit when I contacted them and asked if I could upgrade to rush delivery, they expedited it for free. Unfortunately even with rush shipping it just missed me, arriving at my house while I was on the train to NYC.)

Pâté on the train going to see his biological parents. (Laura and Marisha.)

When I saw that it wasn’t going to arrive in time I was starting to panic because there is nowhere near me to have art prints made. It’s a 15 minute drive (past the alpaca farm) just to get to the nearest grocery store. Grasping at straws I was kind of like Should I . . . draw something? On paper?? With real media that I haven’t used in like 10 years??? I only have 3 days!!!

Fortunately my life was saved by @emphaticembroiderer who had the brilliant suggestion of sending my art ahead to a print shop in NYC and picking it up before the convention. There are indeed MANY of those in New York and I managed to find one that was open on Saturdays and able to make my print on short notice. (567 Framing on W 14th street. The owner, Jack Hu, did excellent work and was very kind!) By that point I was frazzled and didn’t want two of the same print so I decided to be self-indulgent and had this one made. Not my showiest piece but it is one of my favorite things I’ve drawn. (This turned out to be the correct decision.) It’s a 6 1/2 hour train ride from here to there (and it got a little delayed along the way) so by the time I got there it was after 5 and the print shop closed at 6:30 so I zoomed over there straight from the train station to pick it up. It turned out BEAUTIFULLY, and the owner was pleased with how happy I was with it and that he’d been able to help.

He enjoys that he is included.

Then I went and checked in to my hotel and that point really just wanted to lie down on a bed but I had plans to take Pâté to see Hadestown on Broadway that night because I wanted to make the most of my trip. (Also it’s important for our scrungly son to receive a cultural education.) In keeping with the theme of the weekend I wore the Laudna-themed sundress I made for GenCon with one of the poppies in my hair. An usher told me they liked my ensemble. :) I had decided to go for a front row mezzanine seat because I didn’t know when I’d ever have this opportunity again and I didn’t want to risk my miniature self being stuck behind a tall person. It was perfect; I could see everything and the performance was AMAZING. Pâté had a very good time too.

The next day was the CR panel and autographs!! I decided to wear my 1950s Laudna cosplay from GenCon. I had some doubts about it when I got there because without the rest of 50s Bells Hells the theme isn’t as clear and outside of a DnD-focused convention the recognizability of a CR character is kind of low, let alone an AU variant on one. But once I found the Critters my Pâté poodle skirt was appreciated. :)

This is Rach @dadrielle, Astoria @astoriacolumnstaircase, Abby @overnighttosunflowers, and me as 50s Hells at GenCon!

And okay I know this said a lot but it’s true, CR fans are the NICEST fandom to be a part of. <3 If you’re ever standing in line for a CR thing by the time you get there you will have new friends. (For comparison the other-fandoms cosplayers I saw at the hotel and on the way to the con didn’t even return my smiles, even though we were all clearly going to the same place.) I fell in with a group of people who were near me in line (including an amazing Owlbearman cosplayer) and we decided to all sit together. The panel was really great. I don’t remember everything that was asked because of everything ELSE that happened later that day but they hinted that Big Things are coming (including multiple live shows!! Please come to Richmond! Or DC! Or at least somewhere on the East Coast!) for the 10th anniversary and Momlan stepped up to the mic during the Q&A segment and revealed that Sam has achieved his childhood dream . . . to become a minotaur. :D

With the mindset of making the most of this trip I had intended to try to get a spot in line to ask a question but I was hesitant about being on camera (even in cosplay) and while I was dithering about it like 50 people got in line. (I was also Suffering by that point because my rockabilly Laudna shoes have like 3 inch heels and after walking from the hotel to the convention center I didn’t have the fortitude to dart over to the line in them.)

My question, which I hope to submit next time there’s a Q&A opportunity, was this: For Marisha. We’ve seen Delilah’s influence manifesting in Laudna’s fashion choices recently. Now that she has the means and the freedom to do so, what kind of clothes would she choose for herself?

(Because I am a little sad that — until a possible post-campaign oneshot — we’ll never get to see a high-level Laudna costume that’s totally of her own design and I’m really eager to know what it would look like! Let her be spooky and free!)

Afterwards the cosplayers were being rounded up for a photo shoot but I was anxious to get a good spot in line for my autograph with Laura at 2pm so I stealthed away with Ken (@elissabrat), a Jester fan I had met in line, who knew where they were and had one with Travis at the same time. When we got there we were told No, go away and come back in an hour and a half, because it was still only 12. So we went to the Artists Alley where we found a girl named Lea whom we had also met in the panel line and collected a few other stray Critters (Ken has a boisterous and inviting personality and importantly, is very tall, preventing the rest of us from getting lost in the crowd) and we wandered around seeking out all the CR fan artists we could find. (There were a lot! It was great. I got some prints.)

by Cait May and Maliveth

Around 1 we decided to go back and see what the line situation was. Before we parted ways I exchanged twitter handles with Lea, who looked at my profile and said “Wait . . . this is you?”

She told me she was a big fan of my comic and looks forward to it every week! and we were both kind of like !!! at each other for a moment. I had never met someone who recognized my art in the wild before. (On ANY other day this would have been the most amazing thing that happened to me, haha.) I was so touched to meet her. <3

I took out the two books I was carrying and explained why I was there and we all got hyped up about it. And it made it feel a little less daunting, to know that there was someone there who understood the quest I was on and how close I was to the end of it.

I was like 5th in line for Laura and since it was still early I got to participate in that bonding experience integral to every con, sitting on the floor in cosplay, with a very good Vex behind me. (Hilariously, even after the dig at them — or maybe unaware of it — in the most recent episode, there were a lot of Funko Pop resellers around us, haha.)

I sent word to Southern Gothic Discord to remember me fondly in case I died here. In fact I'm not entirely sure that I didn't.

It felt like there was a disproportionate amount of fanfare revealing my print because I kept it how it was packed by the printer, wrapped in paper in between two pieces of cardboard so it wouldn’t get bent, so there was this whole ceremony of peeling back the tape, turning under one of the cardboard protectors, unfolding the paper, and turning over the print. But Laura loved it. She made like a happy sob when she saw it (it was really cute) and she looked at it for a long time taking in all the details and said it was beautiful. <3 <3 <3 (No matter how much we love and ship Imogen and Laudna, NO ONE loves them or is shipping them harder than Laura Bailey. She asked if I was going to bring it to Marisha too and was careful picking out a spot so there'd be room for both of their signatures. :))

I told her I was really happy to meet her because I’ve been a fan since BloodRayne (so, um. 20 years) and she said “oh wow, that was OG days!” And she gave me just a really kind look like she understood how much it meant to me to be there.

Then I gave her the comic. You all were right, I was worried about nothing! because she is the sweetest and she loved it. I very nervously pushed it across the table and said it was a comic I had made and wanted to give her. She picked it up and started turning the pages and was surprised when she saw what it was. “Wait, this is a whole novel! You made this?”

I confessed that I had, and she asked how long it had taken, I told her about a year (it was actually longer; in the moment I kind of forgot not how many pages there are in the first chapter but how many weeks are in a year) and she looked just really impressed that I had made it and touched by how much work had gone into it. She said she couldn’t wait to read it and seemed really excited to hear that it’s still going online! (So no pressure on me there if she's keeping up with it now, haha. o.o) And she kept looking between the book and me like she couldn’t believe it.

Then she asked me if I would sign it for her. :')

Somehow I survived long enough to do so! (a little wobbly because my hands were shaking) and someone (I think it was the ticket scanner) made a joke about how I was the first person to give an autograph at a signing, haha. And then she came around the table and gave me a hug. <3 <3 <3

After that my soul was still on the ethereal plane but the rest of me managed to find my way (after a brief wrong turn) to Marisha’s line. (There was a really good Keyleth and Caduceus in line behind me and they kindly noticed and returned the Pâté sticker that fell out of Marisha’s book).

She recognized my cosplay as 1950s Laudna right away! which was very validating after my earlier indecision haha. She loved the Pâté skirt and thought the scissors embroidery on my collar was adorable. She really liked the art too and was kind of like “Awww” about the book like in an “aww it’s an Imogen and Laudna thing” kind of way (she also liked the glass bottle windchimes on the cover and I love that she noticed that detail because Laudna’s penchant for turning things other people have thrown away into arts and crafts is one of my favorite aspects of her character) until she opened it and started looking through it.

Then she said, “Wait, this is actually really good," and she asked me seriously if Liam “Art Dad” knew about it (I said he had liked some of my other art on Twitter but I didn’t know if he knew about the comic) and then she said — still looking at it, more to herself than me — “We’ll have to add it to our art catalogue.” I don’t know exactly what that means (and I don’t want to get my hopes up too high by speculating; I was too !!! in the moment to ask and now I’m going to be wondering) but . . . it sounds . . . exciting??

They also both enjoyed Pâté and his lil sunglasses. :)

I had gone up with the intention of asking my other burning question: How does being cold-blooded affect Laudna in cold climates? If she gets too cold will she enter a state of brumation like a lizard? Will she freeze solid?

But I forgot. And it really wouldn’t have been the right moment. Maybe when I come back with Volume Two. :)

You’re supposed to pay extra to get a quote put on there but they both did it anyway without even asking. I think they must be really pleased when someone brings them something personal that they’ve made to have signed and not something they’re planning to sell.

After that I just kind of floated away from the con even though it was only like 2:30 haha. Nothing else could have happened there that would have equaled or improved upon that experience. Although I did adopt a Tentacle Kitty. The vendor (correctly) guessed “you look like you’d vibe with our spooky collection” so I had to get a new buddy for Pâté. (50s Laudna, still readily identifiable as a witch wherever she goes.) Also I saw a very chill emotional support pomeranian in a backpack.

(On the way back I saw the mark of the Traveler graffiti’d in green on the sidewalk. Truly a blessed day. :P)

Afterwards I just sat on the bed in my hotel room amid the floof of my crinoline wondering what even is my life for the next few hours and being like !!!! at Discord. Then I met up with Abby (whom it was wonderful to see again!! thank you so much for coming to see me) for dinner and had a really lovely time going over the What Just Happened of it all and talking about Imodna over strawberry pancakes. As one does. Perfect ending to an amazing day. <3

It was SUCH an incredible, exhilarating experience, thank you everyone who pushed me into not giving up out of fear. Laura and Marisha are SO nice and gracious in person and it was just so rewarding, after all the work and love and time I’ve put into this comic, to be able to finally bring it to the people who inspired it! And to see it appreciated and admired by them! It was more than I ever could have imagined.

This fandom is the best. My heart is so happy and full of love right now. <3 <3 <3

Cry Baby (album) Nine Year Anniversary [August 14th, 2015]

“Writing this album, I was super… I wasn’t that confident as an artist. I knew what I wanted. But I was a bit more insecure for personal reasons and vulnerable, too. I was figuring myself out. By the end of the writing process, I felt a lot more comfortable with myself and a bit more confident. So did she! She [Cry Baby] is super emotional and that is how I was growing up my whole life. But the last song, ‘Mad Hatter,’ is her being okay with being crazy. She wouldn’t have it any other way. That is who she is and cannot fight it. That’s how I am at this point.”

A non-exhaustive list of things I accidentally predicted in Just Dance

In honor of my current fic being known as "the time I accidentally sorta predicted Night Swan taking ALL the Just Dancers in JD24 story mode with this idea coming to me in early to mid 2023", here are some other things I predicted:

Mihaly turning into a panda: in my fic about Mihaly's childhood days, there was a running joke about Mihaly becoming convinced they'd become a panda when they grew up. While the idea came to me earlier than that, it was first published in my fics on August 10th, 2023, weeks before Never Be Like You leaked in mid-October.

Mihaly looking up to Night Swan because they liked ballet, rather than any more sinister/shady reason: when we first saw the Night Swan poster being ripped in Never Be Like You, my first instinct was to make jokes about how they had it up for target practice. But then, I wrote it into the fic (twice) that there wasn't anything shady in their past, they just REALLY liked ballet. First hinted at in a oneshot published on October 14th 2023, then in my book about Mihaly's childhood on November 25th that same year, I definitely breathed a sigh of relief during littlesiha's lore week when Aurore confirmed it was due to her "dance skill, charisma, and elegance".

Payphone having a split screen that showed where Rasputin was during the wedding while The Bride destroyed everything on the other side: I have no comment. I am still just in awe. This was from June 1st.

Calling that the official Eva Chase loredump using Telephone's footage was a red herring, and Rasputin was still the one to break the Gaga coaches out: this was a private conversation so unfortunately I don't have the receipts for this one, but my exact words - dated July 19th at 1:22 PM, were "I'm just not gonna panic about it until I hear the words 'Eva broke them out in Telephone' explicit". This was of course LONG before we saw the ending of Payphone that suggests he was involved after all.

Bang Bang showing Epsilon's face: Also a private conversation, which took place over a call, in which I said something to the effect of "the leakers probably aren't showing us much of Bang Bang because there's something they wanna 'gatekeep', like either showing us who his ex is or showing his face". Not long after, we got the preview showing his face. Admittely this one is less cool because I'm pretty sure the avatar with the half-face-reveal had leaked by this point but SHHH I'M COUNTING IT

K/DA (specifically Seraphine) perhaps being a little less noncanon than initially stated: During Aurore's official interview, the K/DA routines were specifically singled out as being non-canon, along with the Disney routines. My response was to just...ignore this, and have one of the characters prominent in my fic series just casually cosplay Seraphine and dance to MORE. This came out at the end of August 2023. And wouldn't you know it? Seraphine's avatar shows up on a card in Poker Face alternate, quietly implying that K/DA and Seraphine DO exist in the Danceverses in some capacity (likely as fictional characters in-universe as well, but I'm not expecting it to be addressed officially).

Grace breaking up with Ari but eventually getting back together: I had spent summer 2023 writing a fic about the Wannabe coaches being superheroes in high school, with Ari as the antagonist. Just one of those ideas that started as a sarcastic joke, but I inadvertently got attached to it, y'know? Anyway, in the finale of the fic, Grace dumps her for her actions, but they get back together during a timeskip. Now, this was before even VAMPIRE came out, or was even leaked - although I did later incorporate Vampire into it as a bonus chapter shortly after 2024 Edition's release because- I'm gonna save that tangeant for later actually and move onto how much I lost my freaking mind when Grace and Ari were revealed to be going through a rough patch in canon. One Last Time matched that even further when Grace dumped Ari, but then got back together with her.

Lilith being WLW: What can I say? I knew in my heart that that wasn't a straight woman all along. I talked about my WLW ship involving Lilith on September 2nd 2023.

Whenever, Wherever coming: I had saved Whenever, Wherever to my Spotify with the idea of potential Just Dance ties back in April...which was before even the ESRB accidentally revealed it.

Conclusion: Y'all gotta start listening to me more often /j

Correspondência (2)

Summary: Is it possible to fall in love with someone over simple letters? In the three years of his excursion, Penelope and her husband exchange letters about their respective lives. Warnings: Fluff. Canon divergence. Angst. Comfort. Slow burn.

12th of August, 1815

Dear Husband, I arrived at Debling family estate on the 10th.YOur state is beautiful. Mrs Selby has shown me most of it in the last two days. I adore our gardens, I didn’t know it was possible for a garden to be more beautiful than our Mayfair garden, but this has proven to be quite wrong. I wish you had told me about it, but I see why you didn’t; nothing could have prepared me for its splendour. Mrs. Selby is a great right-hand. She’s very helpful and has been teaching me about everything very well. There is much to do, but it is pleasant work. While I write this, you are probably boarding your ship to America. I imagine my message will reach you once you are in New York. I hope your crossing was peaceful and comfortable, and that you remember your promise to send me illustrations from time to time. I will wait eagerly for them. Your Most Humble Servant, Penelope Debling.

9th of August, 1815

Dear wife, I arrived at the port yesterday, and thus far, my journey has been smooth and tranquil. The sea is a marvel—both beautiful and formidable, stretching endlessly before me. I find myself awestruck by it half the times I watch them. I asked our illustrator to draw it to you on the bottom of the page. I hope it captures a fraction of the sea's grandeur and brings a piece of my journey to you. There was a slight delay in our departure. If it doesn’t change by tomorrow, I may return home to Mayfair or the in you are stopping by. Perhaps you’ll allow me to steal you for a night before I must return? Regardless of if it happens or not, I hope you are well and you have a good journey to our estate. I hope you enjoy it and that you make it into a good home for your and our child. I hope to hear from you soon. I eagerly await your letters, dear Penelope, to hear of your adventures and the developments at home. Your Most Humble Servant, Alfred Debling.

14th of August, 1815

Dear Husband, I hope this letter finds you well and that your journey continues smoothly. The carriages returned to the estate yesterday, confirming your safe departure, and I am relieved to know you are well. I miss you already. Had I known you were still nearby, I would have sent my first letter directly to you. You are right; the sea is a beautiful sight. Perhaps we can wait for your return and see it together the day your ship comes to port? Life here at the estate has been busy but fulfilling. Mrs Selby has been a wonderful guide; I don’t think I would ever be able to manage it all without her, and I hope she knows how much I appreciate her assistance. The animals and crops are thriving, and our tenants are the kindest people I could have met. They speak very highly of you and are the most respectful. Once everything has settled and calmed down, I intend to visit each tenant personally to understand their needs more closely. I have started to take daily walks through the gardens after breaking my fast. They get more and more beautiful every time I see them, and it is very nice to sit at my windowsill and read with them out the window. Your presence is sorely missed, and your letter was most appreciated. Your Most Humble Servant, Penelope Debling.

19th of August, 1815

Dear Husband, I am happy to announce we are starting with our plans of redecorating the nursery. Miss Rae is helping me closely with it. We found your old crib and bassinet. Is it true you were so particular with when you slept on them? One for the night, one for the daylight? Mrs. Selby told me how your mother used to take you to sleep in her room, sometimes even in her bed. From the stories I have heard of her, she was a wonderful woman, and I would be blessed if I could have met her. If your painting as a baby is any indication of how our baby will look, I certainly might copy her habits happily. You were a very adorable child. I shall have a crib and a bassinet, in case he or she takes after you. The family doctor made us a visit today, and I’m happy to confirm that he does agree with my conclusion, and I am indeed expecting. By his study, he says I am probably on my 11th week now, and birth might take place on the 20th of February at its earliest and the 26th of March at it’s latest. I am certain the nursery will be ready much earlier. I am considering hiring a painter to have a mural on the wall – of a field of flowers or a small forest. Something green, a colour we both enjoy, and quite neutral, I think. I hope your voyage is being good and you are safe. Your Most Humble Servant, Penelope Debling.

25th of August, 1815

Dear Husband, I hope this letter finds you well and safe. Our peach trees are thriving and so grown and healthy I have barely been able to leave our home, the outside is all taken by their smell. It is so sad, because I know they are probably so sweet and juicy, but the mere thought of them makes my stomach become a knot. I sincerely hope you’re not having the same trouble in your voyage. I’ve asked the servants to gather them all and send them to Philippa. She seemed delighted the last time I sent her some, and I hope she still enjoys them. I cannot wait for my days of hatred for those fruits to end. Our tenants send you their best regards. Mrs Louis gifted me a chicken – I don’t know much about caring for them, but it seems quite lovely. I have named her Sally. I look forward to your next letter. Please take care of yourself and know that you are in my thoughts every day. Your Most Humble Servant, Penelope Debling.

30th of August, 1815

Dear husband, This is the last of the letters I’m sending to you addressed to New York, so I suppose it means you’re leaving it soon. Things are going well at home and I feel like I’m finally getting used to it being my home and not something like a family home or a place where I’m a guess. That must sound so silly, but I never realised how much I longed to feel comfortable in a place. It is so calming not to be under scrutiny or a watchful glare, measuring every step of mine, every possible moment in which I may falter. I never knew the word home could have such a profound meaning before. I have decided to keep the news of our child to ourselves so far. Of course, our staff knows, but I do not wish to tell my family yet. My sisters have always been strongly reliant on our mother, and the doctor estimates that they are going to welcome their children months before we welcome ours. I truly believe they would benefit from our mother’s full attention for a longer time. Mrs Selby has been a wonderful helper in all things related to expectancy, so I feel very well informed. I hope you understand my side of this, but I do understand if you have a different point of view. How was your journey to New York? I hope everything is going well and that you are safe.

can't wait 'til the drought is over;

pairing- sirius black x reader warning(s)- hurt/comfort, mentions of drugging. a/n- hopefully the ending does not disappoint!

prequel masterlist series masterlist little train.

the lotion is hot and humid on your skin. sweat crawls on your forearm, the skull burnt on your skin throbbing with pain. his fingers are cold and numb. a quiet solace in the dark room. his eyes are like stars against the contrast of the darkness.

'sirius,' you say, the name familiar on your tongue. his ears perk up at his name falling from your lips, the sound almost forgotten by his brain.

'yes?' he asks. you're full of fear. you're afraid that he cares for you so much, even after he watched you kill a man. you wonder if its a ploy. you wonder if he'll report you. but you're too tired from your thoughts. you're too tired of running, too tired of being chased.

for once, you want to believe it's a blessing in disguise.

'will you report me to the authorities?' he unwrapped his fingers from you, removing his cold touch from your hot skin. his upper lip quivered.

'all this time you've known me...and you think i'm going to report you? bullshit!' there it is again. the rage, the false accusations. you feel anger pour inside of you, as you get furious at the only person who helped you keep your calm.

'known you? i never knew you. don't you fucking lie!' he knitted his eyebrows together. he felt his ears get warm with the rage that boiled inside of him, boiling to the edge.

'you're the one who's lying.' he said, silent intimidation in his voice.

'i am the one who's lying?' you got up from the bed, throwing off the sheets from your body. your vision dizzied, but you couldn't care less.

'I AM THE ONE WHO'S LYING? ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, YOU LEFT ME. YOU DECIDED TO GO AND FUCK IT UP BY TALKING BULLSHIT ABOUT LOVING ME AND THEN GETTING IT ON WITH THAT WOMAN. I, SIRIUS, TO YOU AM ALWAYS THE OTHER WOMAN.'

and god it felt good to let it off your chest. all those years you'd spent those sleepless nights, looking for answers, looking for closure. all those years, you'd spent those years trying to fight your demons. all those years, you'd spent, trying to search for the flame of warmth that sirius lit within you.

it was finally tearing down, as he stared at your anguished form. you watched tears fill up his eyes.

'I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE! YOU FORCED ME TO LEAVE. AND DON'T BE SUCH A PATHETIC LIER, I NEVER GOT WITH NO WOMAN AFTER BEING FREED EXCEPT YOU!'

'please,' you begged, pathetically. you shook, years of suppressed emotions finally catching up to you. 'don't lie. it was the night of 14th august, at 7:28pm. i saw you crystal clear with the woman.' you curled your fingers, balling your palm into a fist. disgust churned in your stomach, putrid hatred running through your intestines.

the memories flashed in your brain like a film.

this film, you'd seen before. and you didn't like the ending.

'we'd planned a date on 14th of august. i'd asked you out, but you never came. i s'pposed you got stuck with some extra work. by the time i wanted to leave and go check on you, i'd already been caught up by the woman you're talking about. i don't remember her name, but i do know that i'd been drugged by her. because i ended up in the hospital a few hours after.'

the silent was deafening.

'what? i- i never knew-'

'of course you didn't. then i came up to check on you and i saw that you would've been killed by lucius. i saved you, and there you were shouting at me, giving me no chance to explain myself.'

'you never contacted me afterwards-'

'i thought of calling you. write you letters. but i knew you wouldn't respond. a few years later dumbledore comes bearing with the news that you were in great trouble, and i could think of nothing but you. i wanted to do nothing but prove myself and signed myself up for the mission of saving you. it was a job to be done by one, too many people would've messed up. and i saw you, on the verge of fighting death, i couldn't bear it. i couldn't bear the thought of losing you again.'

'i'm sorry.' he got up from the bed, tucking his finger under your jaw.

'i realize now, how much i love you. how much the thought of losing you terrifies me. how much i hate the fact that i love you because you want nothing to do with me. because i love you and it has ruined my life.'

he nudged his forehead against yours, warm breath falling on your lips.

'let this night be ours,' he begged. you cradled his face.

'it was always ours.' the hot salty tear fell on your cheek.

'i think i never wanted to accept it, because it was terrifying, the thought of loving someone. but i don't think i can escape it anymore. i never stopped loving you. i don't think i was never not yours.'

his nose budged against yours.

'say it.'

'i love you, sirius.'

his lips met yours. softly and ecstatically, his tongue slipped into your mouth as he kissed you harsh. harsh with the dull pain of separating. harsh with the dull pain of loving you. harsh pain of the paradox.

and even if the both of you were too close too the stars, you'd fall. fall again.

because when the sky fell, you'd face it all together.

running away from the ruins of loving each other.

Cracking open my Religio Romana handbook to check out what's going on next month and, since my Saturnalia post is making the rounds again, decided to write down some for anyone that would like to write some Jason/Reyna/Camp Jupiter religious shenanigans throughout the year 👍

This isn't all of them btw! I just grabbed a couple that seemed most interesting for their respective months or most relevant to the Roman babes

January 11th and January 15th: Carmentalia, two feast days in honour of Carmenta (goddess Juturna also celebrated on the 11th)

February 13th to 22nd: Parentalia, commemoration of ancestors and the dead in families

February 22nd: Caristia, family pot luck in spirit of love and forgiveneness

February 23rd: Terminalia, in honor of Terminus

February 27th: Equirria, first of two horse-racing festivals in honor of Mars

March 1st: original New Year's Day when sacred fire of Rome was renewed; Matronalia in honor of Juno Lucina; also considered the dies natalis (birthday) of Mars

March 14th: second Equirria

March 15th: Feriae Iovi, sacred to Jove (Jupiter)

March 17th: Agonalia in honour of Mars

April 1st: Veneralia in honor of Venus

April 21st: Parilia, rustic festival in honor of Pales, Roman patron goddess of shepherds and flocks, and the dies natalis (birthday) of Rome

April 23rd: Vinalia Priora, the first of two wine festivals

May 9th, 11th, and 13th: Lemuria, festival of the dead

May 15th: Mercuralia, in honor Mercury; Feriae (free day) of Jove (Jupiter)

June 3rd: anniversary of the Temple of Bellona

June 7th to 15th: Vestavia, in honour of Vesta, June 9th specifically is a die religiousus to her

June 24th: festival of Fors Fortuna

July 6th to 13th: Ludi Apollinares, games in honor of Apollo

July 14th to 19th: series of markets or fairs - not religious

July 17th: anniversary of the Temple of Honos and Virtus, sacrifice to Victory

July 23rd: Neptunalia, held in honor of Neptune

August 23rd: Vulcanalia in honor of Vulcan

September 1st: ceremonies for Jupiter Tonans (the Thunderer) and Juno Regina

September 20th to 23rd: days set aside for markets and fairs

October 7th: rites for Jupiter Fulgur (Jupiter of daytime lightning) and Juno Curitis

November 4th to 17th: Plebeian Games

November 18th to 20th: markets and fairs

December 1st: ceremonies at temples for Neptune and for Pietas

December 3rd: Bona Dea rites for women only

December 17th to 23rd: Saturnalia in honor of Saturn with public ritual on the 17th

Side note that I am not an academic, not religious, not a pagan, and not spiritual in any way. I just like reading about mythologies and how those stories/deities used to be, and still are, worshipped by people. Also helps when coming up with religions and stuff for stories. But that's it, I have one book and access to google/wikipedia and that's the depths on my knowledge on Roman polytheistic practices 🙌

#happy talks pjo #reyna avila ramirez arellano #jason grace #happy talks greek mythos #okay not technically but you guys get it #religio romana #feel to correct if i got smth wrong and this is your area of expertise #fun fact the festival on my birthday includes a dog sacrifice 😔

Letters From Schimmelpenninck to Daendels (Part 5)

Hey guys, this is the last part for now of Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck letters to Daendels. Sorry for the late upload cus the internet rn kinda sucks 😔 As usual, translation might not be too accurate as I'm only using google translate 🙏

13th Letter :

Schimmelpenninck to Daendels Paris, 9 August 1799 Amicissime! Since our friend Grasveld, who is currently with me, is writing to you with this post, my letter will be brief.

I thank you sincerely for your important letters dated 31 July, 2, and 3 August. I have made the necessary use of them. De Publiciste will publish the material discussed in the meeting of the legislative body regarding the licensing of French journals, as well as the complete note. It will, I believe, make a significant but positive sensation. I am enclosing the preparatory article from today’s Publiciste. Regarding the fleet, there is nothing new; they are still waiting for it day by day in Brest.

The anarchists continue to agitate strongly and show no restraint in their tone. They are given far too much freedom. It is to be hoped that Florent Guyot will have enough character to step forward for the cause, choose a side, and not allow himself to be influenced by endless nuances. It remains true that our primary steadfastness lies within ourselves—that must be said. All else is uncertain. The close union between the legislative body, the Directoire, and the military leadership, all grounded in loyal adherence to the principles of the constitution, can and will only help us. Moreover, the continuation of a strong military posture, which imposes respect on our enemies, will earn us recognition here. There is no other path; there is hope, however, to save the situation. There is also a project from an old general, which he has asked me to bring to your attention. It is unlikely to be feasible or even appropriate for the season. However, I have still communicated his request. Always yours most sincerely, T. T. R. J. Schimmelpenninck

14th Letter :

Schimmelpenninck to Daendels Paris, 12 August 1799 Amicissime! The stance that our Republic has adopted for some time now—the energy it displays, the spirit of loyal independence, and the willingness to cooperate with this Republic—has recently been manifested in the Batavian legislative body and administration in such a brilliant way that it produces the most extraordinary effect here. Our Republic gains consideration here day by day, and the baseless libelous pamphlets do nothing to harm this. I think, however, that the French Directoire will soon issue a message to the 500 [Council of Five Hundred] as a token of appreciation for the licensing, which is also permitted by other nations, their governments, and ministers. I also think something decisive is in the works against the excesses of the demagogues; you will hear more about it soon.

Fouché (from Nantes) continues to do our Republic the utmost justice. He does not waver; he speaks out everywhere in the strongest terms for us and finds true patriots among us—not just in words but in their hearts and deeds. He sends his warm greetings to you personally. Your friend Le Febre has today been given command over the 17th Division, replacing General Marbot, who is leaving for the Army of the Alps.

The telegraph has transmitted the news of the arrival of 15 ships of the line in Brest and that the other Spanish and French ships, belonging to the combined fleet, have already been sighted from afar. In the past two days, rumors have been spread here that Mantua has fallen. I fear, based on what I hear, that it may indeed be true. Otherwise, strong military preparations are being made in the hope of halting the enemy's advances. The internal situation in that country greatly depends on it.

The events in the Batavian legislative assembly are already circulating here in the Redacteur and other papers. This will continue. I am glad that the noted note has also been printed here in the Publiciste, Chronique, etc. It is excellently received here and surpasses all expectations. Best regards to your dear wife and family. Adio, T. T. R. J.

15th Letter :

Schimmelpenninck to Daendels Paris, 16 August 1799 Amicissime! Paris remains in complete calm. Our friend Le Febre now commands the armed forces here. He seems to have the complete confidence of the Directoire. I spoke with him yesterday. He was very cheerful. His wounds are healing well and do not prevent him from continuing his duties. He expressly requested me to send you his greetings, as does Bernadotte, who also sends his warm regards.

The citizens, whose assembly has been dissolved, are now beginning to directly attack the entire Directoire, including Sieyès. You can scarcely imagine the tone they are adopting. It is impossible for this to last long. The united fleet is now in Brest; however, the five ships from Rochefort have not yet joined them. There is still no clarity on their destination. The idea of unblocking us seems to be under significant consideration. I await further political developments. Adio, T. T. R. J.

I saw another mention of Aleida here 👀 it seems like Rutger cared abt Daendels family alot ^^ it's a nice gesture of him tho not gonna lie 🫡 For the next letters series, I'm planning to do like combined letter so it wasn't focused on one specific person sending/receiving letters to/from Daendels 🤔 Anyways, that's all for now, thank you guys n have a great day, stay safe 🌙

@pranklinfierce Great question/s!

So, for my interest in history, it all started with an assignment in fourth grade. We were told to find a person who had a job that ended in "ologist" and write a document about them. I wanted to do an archaeologist, and when I searched for archaeologists on Google, I saw Thomas Jefferson. I wrote about him, but I only wrote about his political accomplishments, nothing about his interest in archaeology (I misunderstood the assignment 😭😭). The real one is on my school Chromebook, but I copied it onto my personal laptop. I copied EVERY single detail, from capitalization, to punctuation (there are obviously errors, but I was in fourth grade, I didn't know).

Link:

(if this link doesn't work for some reason, let me know).

So basically, Thomas Jefferson was responsible for my interest in history, more specifically U.S history.

and I thank him for that.

As for my encounter of Franklin Pierce, I genuinely forgot when I first discovered him. But I know it was in 2020. When I first saw this portrait:

I thought "He's kinda cute 😳😳😳" (I never had a crush on bro, I just thought he was good looking. I am NOT attracted to Pierce romantically or smeggually, but I understand why others would be). Then I just didn't do any research about him until early-mid 2023 for some odd reason (I only knew that he was the 14th president and that one of his children died in a horrific train accident). And uhhh yeah. Also did you know that I have a WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IN MY HEAD THAT INVOLVES THE PRESIDENTS THAT I'VE KEPT IN MY MIND SINCE AUGUST OF 2020????? If you wanna know more about that, let me know. 😈😈😈😈

I'm so sorry for the yapping session... 😭

#lol #us presidents #u.s. presidents #franklin pierce #franklinpierce #us history #q&a questions #q&a #question #answered #answer #msachillelaurosfunnels post #yapping session lol #hehe #I LOVE BEING ABLE TO YAP ABOUT THINGS THAT GENUINELY MAKE ME HAPPY!!!!!!!#thomas jefferson #I forgot to tag him lol

DDANGEROUSLY YOURS [SEEK X SEBASTIAN AU SNEAK PEEK]

i was like "yummy, seek x Sebastian!" as a joke but bro I dong think its a.joke anymore these two are consuming my brain

------

"Have a seat." A woman's voice spoke, he turned around, seeing a vague figure in a window, her fave obscured from the shadows. seek didn't notice the table and chair.

He better not cause anymore trouble than he possibly already caused, so he did as the woman told him to, but it didn't stop his defensiveness and fear. "Where am i." He hissed, staring at her harshly.

"You are not to ask questions. That's our job." She responds, her voice cold and sharp. He remained quiet.

"Now, question one. Who are you? What is your first and last name?"

"....silas light." He responds.

"How old are you?"

"23."

"okay, can you tell me what year it is?"

"1924, September 14th."

"Incorrect. It's 2017 august 5th."

Silas felt dread drill into his very being. "You're kidding, right?" Silas laughs. "No, that can't be true."

"It very much is. Moving on. What was your occupation?"

"...I was an archeologist and a hotel owner."

"are you familiar with the company roblux mining?"

"Yes, I worked with that company before. They worked right below our hotel."

"alright, do you remember anything?"

"....no, I only remember discovering a new artifact and all went to black."

"describe the artifact."

Silas had to mentally shake his brain for answers, trying to work his memory. He felt so fatigued for some reason. "it was a small ball of black stone or some sort of gem, like onyx. And it had an ancient, unknown writing engraved in it. That's it."

"Where did you find it?"

"... I don't remember."

Silas murmured, looking down at his hands, covered in strange black ink. Or what he thought was ink. He didn't even feel it as if it was on him, it was apart of his body.

He doesn't remember ever merging with some black gunk creature whatsoever.

“Well, that's it for now. We'll conduct some tests and you'll be under our care.” The woman says, and the door opens once more. Two men escorting Silas outside the room. Silas hesitantly complied, but rather fascinated with their gear. It was nothing like this back then.

------

Anyways, enjoy! First chapter is gonna take awhile. The full series will be put here, ill think about it being up on ao3.

This is an au, officially referred to as the seeking solace au (haha get it) and is based off of dangerously yours, the podcast. I hope the doors fandom.and the pressure fandom either scorn me or praise the work, either way I'll still work.on it. Bring back crack ships that are unironically loved!

Would you mind a Gr***e and Andrew timeline? I was trying to work back from Glastonbury to see where she fitted in amongst Andrew and Paul.

From Reddit and G stans:

1) Paul and G first rumoured to be hanging out/dating Oct 23. She has gigs in UK that month. According to G fangirls they parted after 2 months cos "he wasn't over Phoebe".

Andrew in Vanya until end of October 23. We know Paul saw Vanya at least twice.

2) Dec 23/Jan 24 Andrew and Paul hang out a lot, go on GN show like limpets. Baftas and all happened.

3) April 24, G announces she's recording new album The Secret of Us.

Andrew and Paul spotted in NY. Happy selfie.

4) 14th May 24 Gucci party. Andrew and Paul close again.

5) 16th June 24 Andrew turns up at NP marathon. Paul looks v happy to see him. Spotted heading home together.

6) June 21st 24 G's album released. That same day, P and G are seen together at miserable lunch.

7) June 27th 24 Andrew and Paul on AOUS panel. Lots of physical closeness. Confirmed dancing until dawn at Downlow.

8) July 13th 24 G plays Bristol and there are rumours that Paul met her afterwards and she came back to the Chiltern Firehouse to see him. Another spotting at a gig together that week. Basically there were a few little spottings during this week but they weren't viral. G leaves UK by 15th July.

Andrew at Kylie gig with JB. JB blabs A had "good fun at Glastonbury" about a week later.

9) August 24 Andrew and Paul not seen together since Glastonbury at the end of June. G and Paul papped.

Setting it out does make it look like maybe something happened at Glastonbury. Paul was unhappy about idea of coming out? Or he knew he wasn't going to and told Andrew?

He decided that weekend to get together with a girl who wrote an entire frigging album about him, and told Andrew? Or he decided in mid July that this was the direction he was going to take?

Or Andrew decided they weren't going to work out? But then, why is he talking to JB about "good time" if things went very wrong. Because things didn't go wrong until mid-July when Paul met up with G again?

End of June to mid-August is confusing.

Sorry for saga but I wanted to write it down. What's your ideas about all this?

Thank you so much for this. I am so lost and confused about this situation and the timeline. Of course, none of us actually know anything, but when did that stop us?

Well, we know Paul was out at gay bars with Andrew in October, holding his hand and being dragged to the dancefloor. Yeah, he saw the show at least twice and went out for his birthday and at least one other time. He was also spotted in gay bars multiple times.

Of course, Paul was rumoured to have been with 6 or 7 different women during this period as well. I am still not sold on Paul and Gracie being authentic, as the pap walks are obviously staged and the time in line with Gladiator 2 and the drug video. I am not saying they are fake, but the way this is presented to the public is not authentic which then makes me question things.

Yeah, I know think that he and Andrew spoke about this at Glastonbury and things changed that Saturday/Sunday. But also, Andrew has left heart emojis and Nell posted that super couply photo. I am not convinced that is done and I think we will see them again. I suspect it's all gone a bit quiet for promotional reasons but maybe that is just my Mescott delusion.

IDK about anyone else but Paul's whole look, mannerisms and even voice has changed since the Gladiator promo tour started?

#asks #important asks #i will answer more asks so sorry if you are left unanswered #but also send in your asks and theories or join the discord

The Mysterious Case of Sonic Movie 3 Marketing

An Op-Ed by Malzilla

Let me say this right off the bat, I am not an expert in marketing. I took Marketing classes in college for my business minor but most of it was pretty entry level but it gave me a solid foundation to understand most companies' marketing plans. Or at least try to see the method or goal behind the madness to get a scope of what they’re trying to do. But Paramount’s treatment of Sonic 3 is bizarre. We got toys, plushies etc out in stores before the first trailer.

Sonic Movie 3 has me utterly baffled. Because here we are exactly four months/120 days (122 days at the time of this writing) and do far zip zilch nada.

The last OFFICIAL news we got for the movie was back on Feb 2nd when the twitter released a little teaser showing the logo as well as some of the additional human cast members. Sure Jon Campea on his Podcast YT show announced that Keanu would play Shadow and was pretty much confirmed by official Hollywood outlets in April but no official word from Paramount has been given. They’ve been radio silent for months know, save for a few weeks in April to promote the Knuckles TV show

So why the wait? Some folks I have talked to may think there may be some internal stuff going on, but I doubt it. Yes Paramount is getting ready to merge with Skydance and some layoffs have happened but I don’t think that would affect much of the Sonic movie day to day.

So here we are at four months till release and we’re all wondering “It’s go time right? RIGHT?”

I would think so. And so has the rest of the Sonic Fandom. But alas we’re still waiting for the green light to go. So when is that green light coming?

Soon.

I hope.

Honestly, I don’t know. But looking at two other films marketing that run some parallels to S3 as well as some key dates in the next four months. I'm going to throw some ideas out there.

First off let's look at the marketing on Sonic 2. Movie was released April 8th 2022, and its first official trailer was released on Dec 9th at the 2021 VGAs (it also had a poster released the day prior on the 8th). So right at the four month mark. They followed up with some TV spots and a special Pre Super Bowl TV spot in February AND then the final Trailer March 14th. So a fairly dense four month marketing campaign.

The other film to look at is Spider-man No Way Home, which like Sonic 3 had a December release date. NWH after months of rumors and lack of promotion (sound familiar) debuted its first teaser trailer on August 23rd 2021; roughly four months prior to its Dec 17th release date. It also had another final trailer on Nov 16th; roughly one month prior.

So if we look at both of them we see a very similar four month marketing campaign. So what does that mean for Sonic 3? Let's work backward from the release date till now. The following are dates of significance, IMO to both Paramount, Pop/Nerd/Game culture etc:

Dec 20th - Release Date

The Long Wait will be over and we all bask in the Living and Learning of it all

Nov 28th - Thanksgiving - Possible 2nd Trailer.

Given that Paramount has put Sonic TV spots before Football games before, I would not be surprised if we got the 2nd Trailer during Half Time of the CBS game that airs in the morning of Thanksgiving. This also aligns with the roughly 1 month prior benchmark as seen with both S2 and NWH.

NYCC Oct 17th-20th - TV Spots/Behind the Scenes/Movie Clip

While this date kinda is little too soon for a second trailer, it would be a great time to bring out the whole cast and do some promotion with the masses and maybe some TV spots or a small clip.

Transformers One Release Sep 20th - PONR for First Trailer

I think I can safely say that the absolute LATEST we can expect a trailer for Sonic 3 would nex month with the release of Transformers One. Paramount would have to be utterly brainless NOT to have a trailer for Sonic playing in front of their other Family Nerd Oriented IP.

Gamescom 2024 Oct 20h - 25th - Trailer Release

Kinda funny how the Opening Night Ceremony for Gamescom just so happens to fall on both the four month till release mark AND a Tuesday (Paramount usually releases trailers on Tues/Thurs)? We KNOW SEGA will be there with more SonicXShadow Generations, but really the movies are more Paramount’s game than SEGAs so there is no guarantee it will be released. BUT Paramount has passed on both Summer Game Fest AND San Diego Comic Con. Everything seems aligned for a reveal on Tuesday. I guess we’ll know if we get a poster revealed tomorrow.

Now personally I would have started ramping up the marketing with SDCC. Because right now the two biggest competitors that Sonic 3 is going to have in Dec are Kraven and Mufassa. And both of these movies have had TWO trailers released for it. With Kraven it makes sense since it was originally supposed to be released back in 2023 but then got pushed back 3 times. So I guess Sony thinks it can rack up a solid week one before the family holiday push. Mufassa on the other hand is going to be the big one to beat as family’s will no doubt flock to the much anticipated origin of Mufasa! That last part was sarcasm but this part is not: they need to get the word out to the casuals. I’ve talked to a lot of Non Sonic who are genuinely excited to see Keanu play Shadow. And the time is right to get them hooked.

So in the end, I will say that I’m like Jon Snow and I “know nothing” but I do know we're getting to the point where it’s time for paramount to lace up its sneakers and get going. Whether it's this week or the next or maybe till the opening of Transformers One. But I would recommend Paramount not dilly dally. Sonic Fans are easily frustrated and can turn rabid quickly.

#sonic the hedgehog #sonic hosts coast 2 coast #Sonic Movie 3 #Paramount Pictures #SEGA
