15 Questions for 15 People

I was tagged by @hesmiledlikeaweatherman (thank you!💖)

Are you named after anyone?

I was named after my father!! eugh!! But my middle name: my sister was a nightmare until my mother picked what she wanted, so that's my favorite name.

2. When was the last time you cried?

This past weekend!! Stress >:((((

3. Do you have kids?

I don't!! I want to have them in the future! one or two. Preferably both at once so I'm only pregnant once lmao. In the meantime i'm doing therapy and researching parenting methods for whenever. I'm only 28 so I want to wait a little longer

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

When i was a kid I did tae kwon do, karate, ballet, and swimming but they always ended up taking me out. I can't do team sports because I taste blood and I'm so ruthless and intense it scares me a little. But I love swimming!!

5. Do you use sarcasm?

It's taken me a LONG time to understand sarcasm; even now I sometimes don't get it. I think I just take people at their word. Whenever I've used sarcasm I always do it with this very over-the-top lilt, because I want to make sure my words are coded as that and not as me meaning what I said....

It's exhausting honestly, but if i get it right, it's funny

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Their voice! I don't really register people's faces until i'm more acquainted

7. What's your eye color?

I have very very very dark brown eyes! you can only see that they're brown if the sunlight hits them right (and blinds me lmao)

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Both!! i feel like they serve different purposes

9. Any talents?

Languages! Once I find the cheat code for how they work , they unravel. It's very exciting!

I've also been told I'm really good at crafting, and singing. (I've won a few contests) I also have a very good long-term memory, but i recall things in pictures.

The other thing i'm good at is problem-solving. Once i stop freaking out that is lmao. One time I got mugged in south korea, was left with no cash, lost, and not able to speak the language, cried a little then traced my steps till i found the nearest metro station, then went from there.

TL;DR - i'm very good at learning and adapting!

10. Where were you born?

Mexico!

11. What are your hobbies?

I collect pretty things like a crow. I like reading, doing art both digital and traditional, sewing, sculpting, home renovation, building, writing, singing, doing my make up, swimming, watching anime and movies, traveling, and hanging out with my pets

12. Do you have any pets?

Two cats and a dog!! Coco, a lynx point siamese (5 y old), Joy (4 y old), a siamese, Choco, my 14 y/o mixed breed dog.

Surprisingly I never ended up asking for them Pet distribution system at its finest.

13. How tall are you?

I'm 170 cm!

14. Favorite subject in school?

English Language has always been my favorite class! I was the most excited about my Sociolinguistics class in university but it was taught by a nasty tool so he ruined that. Also Korean language class. Language classes in general.

15. What is your dream job?

Right now? Being rich enough that I don't have to work so I can write. I'd love to be a successful published writer. Singer, and also fashion brand owner. Oh well. Trying to be realistic

Tagging but no pressure! @shipmistress9 @powerful-niya @shrimparmy @backgroundcharacterno5 @lalanaranj-a @nandosango @ruejanerue @keroppri @chaosnojutsu @rapa3llah @fictionalnormalcy and anyone else that would like to do it!

About Me

Thanks for the tag @angelasscribbles! I always love learning fun little things about people - as usual, we have several overlaps!

1) Are you named after anyone?

Nope - when my parents told their families that they were expecting a baby, my dad's dad started calling me by my name (no discussion, no consideration that I may be a boy lol). He basically decided that my name was going to be my name.

About two weeks ago when I watched Ratatouille with my son. I know... Kids movies make me cry now... As do soppy adverts... Pregnancy really messed with my emotional barometer 😅

I also danced and taught Salsa (and the associated Latin dances like bachata, merengue, cha cha, etc.) quite intensively at university (I.e. 3 hours a night x 3-4 nights a week) 😅 So even though I don’t consider this a ‘sport’ necessarily, I guess it is very cardio-intensive 😇

15 Questions, 15 Mutuals

*second try. Accidentally deleted the first post WHOOPS MY BAD

1. Are you named after anyone?

After a song by a Brazilian musician, as far as I'm aware.

2. When was the last time you cried?

I don't recall. Whenever I watched Coco last, probably.

3. Do you have kids?

Nope.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

It's my native language.

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Usually their mannerisms and voice.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings. There's too much scary/sad in reality already.

9. Where were you born? 

Brazil.

10. What are your hobbies?

Writing, fountain pen collecting (stationery in general), collecting old historical books. I also play the piano and collect decks of cards. More recently, I've gotten into gaming (because my gay ass could not resist Kassandra in Odyssey and now here we are).

12. What sports do you play/have you played? 

That's a very long list. I started with gymnastics and swimming; i actually did so well my gymnastics coach wanted me to do a pre-olympic track, but my parents refused because they were afraid it would make me super short forever (and lol that worked out splendidly). I played indoor and field soccer for most of my life; it's actually something I'd like to get back to. I've also played basketball, horseback riding, volleyball, and fencing (briefly). I had a LOT of extracurriculars growing up.

[holdmytesseract]

So... I just finished watching the series finale of the Walking Dead and man, I don't even know where to begin...

It's been one hell of a ride to say the least. And I don't mean just this episode, no... The entire series. I never thought that I would get so emotionally attached to this series. Hence, I never even thought that I was going to like TWD, back in August, when I started to watch it. And well, look at me now. I am an emotional wreck after the end of season 11. I cried - a lot. I can't believe it's over... Sure, I know this series for barely 5 months and I know that there are people out there, who watched it for 12 years, but... Damn, I love it. A lot.

I'm going to continue my rambling underneath the cut, because spoilers...

Where do I start? Luke and Jules. Gods... They both weren't my favourite characters, but nevertheless... I was sad when they died. Especially Luke. To see how Magna, Connie, Kelly and Miko suffered was heart wrenching.

Daryl saving Judith... I think we can all agree that it was a bad idea to bring her along in the first place, but yeah... It was very sweet. I can't deny that. It reminded me of when Rick saved Carl - and Shane, when he rolled that bed in front of the door to block Rick's hospital room. The parallels were killing me a bit. Just like the 'Hey lil' asskicker. Hey big asskicker.' thing - omg...

I am so so fucking happy Lydia survived. Honestly. I had a very bad feeling, when they had to amputate her arm, but luckily she made it. I learned to like her so very much - which brings me to Negan and Maggie. I loved the conversation they had. How Maggie can't forgive him, because everytime when she looks at him, she sees Glenn die - but she doesn't want to hate him anymore. That was the first time I almost cried. I hated Negan in the beginning. I did. But he had such a huge character development... He really changed. A now I have to say, that I like him. He deserves to live. I'm happy he's got Annie - and his kid.

I think the worst part for me, was watching Rosita die. That was the first time I felt the tears running down my cheeks. Gods, don't get me started on Eugene sitting by her side, crying. Or realising Coco lost both her parents... Luckily she's got Gabe. Yeah... Gabriel... He literally went from zero to hero, didn't he? I never thought he would be there in the end, but he is. And I am glad he is.

What I didn't like so much was how they got rid of the walkers. I mean, yeah, it was super cool and all, but... It was a bit too easy, wasn't it? And suuuper rushed, like... Idk... One second, the Commonwealth is ablaze and in the next they're having dinner together? Was a bit weird.

I love that Ezekiel is the new Governor, alongside Mercer. We all know that if somebody can do this, it's him. He's got his Kingdom back - and I'm happy for him. Ezekiel is a great guy - just like Mercer. I'm happy he found Princess - who deserves her happy ending. Just like Eugene and Max. Btw, I'm happy Aaron and Jerry survived as well. I mean, come on... Jerry is such a cool dude.

The end was, ugh... I can't put in words what I felt when I saw Michonne and Rick. When they talked about everyone who lives and who we lost on the way... Yeah, I was on the verge of crying again. But at the same time it was somehow utterly beautiful. We are never going to forget the ones we lost on this long journey, right?

Who/what else do we got? Oh right... My man. My knight in an angel-winged vest and crossbow. First off... He was super hot in that episode. Let me thirst about this man for a moment, thank you.

Secondly... AMC... WHY IS HE NOT WITH CONNIE, HUH? WHY??? We were robbed! Robbed! Well... Not much we can do about it, unfortunately... But I'm happy Connie is here. And Kelly. And Miko and Magna - who are super cute together. Thirdly... Ugh, that scene with Carol in the end... I'm not saying that I am a huge Carol fan, but damn... I cried. Again. The friendship those two have... Damn... But my personal downfall in the end was, when Judith said to Daryl: 'You deserve a happy ending too.' Right into the feels, because yes!! He deserves a happy end! I hope he finds it.

All in all, I can say that I enjoyed this episode. The season was a bit meh, but this episode... Holy shit.

Am I going to re-watch TWD? Hell yes! It's not over. It's never over.

Whoops... I didn't mean to talk this long, but well... Sorry guys! I just had to get this off my chest. Thank for coming to my ted talk.

If somebody likes to talk with me about the series finale or TWD in general, I am always up for a little chat!

Precure Day 226

Episode: Yes! Precure 5 Go Go! 28 - “Coco’s Bride Appears!?” Date watched: 17 October 2022 Original air date: 24 August 2008 Screenshots Precure Metamorphose Gallery | Sky Rose Translate Gallery Project info and master list of posts

Preach it, Nuts

I feel like every series introduces a mascot character that is utterly unlikeable. FWPC had Porun. Max Heart had Lulun. Splash Star….eh Moop and Foop weren’t bad. Yes 5 had Milk. I didn’t think Go Go had one. Clearly I had wiped this episode’s monstrosity from my memory, because she takes the cake. Let’s *sigh* dive in.

EDIT: Quick note. As of this episode the imgur galleries are a bit different. I decided to try letting a program automatically capture screenshots for me, and then I went behind it and added and removed a few. As such there are going to be fewer showcases of individual scenes and more of an overview of the episode at large. This decision was made to decrease the wait time between new reviews.

The Plot

It's extremely hot out, and the girls they'd like to go somewhere cool like Karen’s island resort again. Karen mentions she has a mountain villa they can stay at.

Komachi captures a Palmin which turns out to be the third monarch, Princess Crepe. The princess starts acting lovey dovey towards Coco and calls him her fiance. Coco quickly denies this but all the girls glare at him.

if looks could kill

At Eternal, Bunbee sees Isohgin and Yadokahn leaving to go fishing. They promise to bring back the Rose Pact.

Princess Crepe is upset that Coco doesn't remember their engagement. When she explains the context, it turns out the “proposal” was Coco sharing some food with her. This is considered a proper marriage proposal in her kingdom. Not willing to admit the misunderstanding, she threatens not to recognize him as a king if he doesn't marry her.

Princess Crepe and Milk argue over Coco and Nuts's responsibilities to the Palmier Kingdom, and continue until they realize everyone else has left.

There’s been a B plot developing about Nuts handing out water to passers by, which now takes the forefront. Everyone else is giving drinks to the swarm of customers outside while Princess Crepe cries in joy to see Coco and Nuts smiling again after the destruction of their kingdom.

I&Y show up and turn a crawfish into a Hoshiina. The girls all transform and Princess Crepe is surprised that they're Precure & Milky Rose.

Princess Crepe retreats into the Rose Pact during the fight and Syrup accidentally drops it, so I&Y try to snatch it, but Rose gets in the way. The crawfish is overcome without great difficulty and the Cures finish it with Rainbow Rose Explosion.

Milky Rose starts to use Milky Rose Blizzard on the villains, but I&Y remember how much it hurt last time and flee before getting hit.

nope. don’t like that.

Princess Crepe admires the girls and thanks them for protecting Coco and Nuts. She says she now understands why they choose to be here, with people that protect their smiles.

Crepe says that the Palmier-Crepe Alliance will be strong after this, while snickering. Everyone stares in concern and the episode ends.

nothing nice is ever said with that face

The Analysis

What I Liked

There are some fun reaction faces in this episode, especially from Milk. And the glare Nozomi gives Coco when she thinks she’s the other woman is superb.

The B-plot with Nuts handing out water was decent. Just a casual display of wordless compassion.

The fight sequence was pretty good as well. It featured fast action and some strong teamwork. There were some attacks that were clever and creative and visually powerful from both the Cures and the Hoshiina.

The flashback scenes show that Coco has always been willing to stick his neck out for other people, showing kindness to a younger Princess Crepe.

Face faults are an anime trope that I love. Someone says something surprising and everyone falls over. This episode makes good use of them every time Princess Crepe talks about how Coco supposedly proposed to her.

Princess Crepe withholding political support until Coco agrees to marry her is the most realistic display of international diplomacy I’ve seen in this show.

What I Didn’t Like

Princess Crepe. She’s worse than Milk, worse than Lulun, worse than Porun. I hope her time in this show is brief and she very quickly overcomes her obsession with Coco.

I can’t believe I’m siding with Milk

Princess Crepe. Her obsession with Coco and their supposed engagement is so flimsy. I understand it’s meant to be upsetting to the audience, and it succeeds at that. I did face the question of whether disliking something the show wants me to dislike means it’s a good thing, and it is, but it still goes in the dislike column. If they managed to spin this into a lesson on consent and accepting rejection, I would place it in the “like” category.

There is astonishingly little Eternal in this episode. I’d have liked to see more of them. Even during the fight, Isohgin and Yadokahn barely do anything. They just show up.

The Hoshiina molts at one point in the episode but nothing is done with this.

it’s just a shell of its former self

As a summer filler episode, the art is on the low end of the quality spectrum.

Miscellaneous

Milk appears in her fairy form for the second episode in a row.

Princess Crepe is named after a crêpe, a popular French pastry that is basically a very thin, flat pancake. They’re served in a variety of ways, from individually with simple toppings, to stacks, to rolled up around fillings.

Princess Crepe refers to Coco as “Cocorin”. Her speech tic is ending her sentences in “kuku”, the first syllable of her name in Japanese (Kurepu).

Princess Crepe is voiced by Nishihara Kumiko, who went on to play Crescendo Tone in Suite Precure and Sharuru in Dokidoki Precure.

Isohgin and Yadokahn speak a little differently in this episode. They form full sentences but Yadokahn finishes them rather than restating Isohgin’s remarks.

Conclusion

Summer filler is strange sometimes. It’s generally understood that it will be lighter in tone and less impactful, and this certainly meets that description, but it’s possible to do lighthearted episodes well. Coming off the heels of the summer festival episode, which I overall liked, this one has more bad than good. Princess Crepe is off to a bad start as a character, but there’s time for her to redeem herself. Perhaps this will be a case where the monarch has more to learn from the team.

Next time, on Precure Daily, a new villain makes his appearance! Look forward to it!

6. What’s your eye color?

Green!

16. Sunset or sunrise?

Mornings are not for me, so I probably prefer a sunset.

Top 10 Current Favorite Movies Tag

@smalltownfae tagged me, thanks a lot! Here we go:

1.Everything Everywhere All At Once

An awesome movie about the multiverse! There's a lot of representation, it's funny, there are many cinematic references... I think it's among my favorite movies, period (not only current ones).

2.Le Pharaon, le Sauvage et la Princesse (The Black Pharaoh, the Savage and the Princess)

It's a French animated movie. There are three different stories, all with different animation styles. The first one takes place in Ancient Egypt (it's my favorite one), the second one in Auvergne and the third one is a 1001 Nights tale. The movie maker, Michel Ocelot, is mostly known for Kirikou. This one was lovely as well.

3.Le Petit Nicolas : qu'est-ce qu'on attend pour être heureux ? (Little Nicholas : Happy as Can Be)

Another French animated movie. It's about Le Petit Nicolas, a French book series, and its two creators: Sempé and Goscinny. This movie is very creative, with the character directly speaking to his makers. It's an ode to writing, drawing, and being creative.

4.Les Cinq Diables (The Five Devils)

Another French movie! Its genre is fantastical, which is quite rare for French movies. Also, the main character is a Black little girl and two lesbians are main characters as well. It's the story of a girl who can travel in time with her magical powers. I don't wanna spoil it but I liked it a lot.

5.Nope

Jordan Peele's last movie. I see it as a metaphor of cinema itself. It was very well filmed and I loved the characters, especially Emerald (I'm a little bit in love, not gonna lie).

6.Cyrano

This movie doesn't have a very good reputation but I felt like it was nice? Also, it's a musical. I really like the original play, and I felt like it was a nice adaptation.

7.Edmond

A movie about the author of Cyrano de Bergerac, Edmond de Rostand. I've also seen the play "Edmond" recently. It's a very nice movie, especially if you like Cyrano.

8. Encanto

No, my brainrot about this movie isn't totally over yet. I've re-watched it some days ago and I still love it as much. And of course I cried at the reconciliation scene.

9. Coco

Rewatching Encanto made me wanna rewatch Coco. Also, it's nearly Halloween/Dias of los Muertos, so I wanted to get into the mood. I especially like the songs (I try to learn "Un poco loco" and this version of "La Llorona" at the ukulele!)

10. Interview With The Vampire

Another Halloween movie! Also, I'm in a Anne Rice mood these days because of the TV show. And now, this movie is on Netflix, so... I still love it a lot.

Bonus: Woman King

I've forgotten to add it to the list, but I've absolutely loved this movie!! A great celebration of the story of these courageous African women.

And that's my 10 current favorite movies. I'll tag @dagss , @kabbal , @riiversndroads and whoever wants to do it!

[noirshitsuji]

Thanks for the tag @2manyfandoms2count @queer-cosette

1. Are you named after anyone?

Officially my parents just liked the name, unofficially kind of after my grandmother?

2. When was the last time you cried?

I'm pretty sure I've cried since Friday but I can't remember when

3. Do you have kids?

Nope

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

actually not that much anymore I don't think <- nearly wrote something sarcastic in response to question below. sdgfjkds

5. What sports do you play/have played?

I occasionally do dancing still, but I've done Wing Tsun, basketball, volleyball, and badminton. Will occasionally play billiards as well when home

6. What’s the first thing you notice about someone?

pov both the ppl who tagged u in this have seen you irl and now you wonder what their impression was sdfjksd

god i don't know. i guess i focus on faces mostly? if it's physical stuff, otherwise i try and assess their vibe and how open/honest with me/themselves they are

7. What’s your eye colour?

Dark brown, of the if-there-isn't-light-shining-on-it-you-can't-really-see-the-pupil variety

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Suspenseful movies with happy endings! <- stealing from coco directly. i'm not a horror person tho

9. Any special talents?

A Night in Paris

Precedent chapters: 5, 6

Chapter 7 : Fury

Canada was watching America walking in circle in his room, his brother woke him up in the middle of the night to come and talk about something important, it could be anything and everything with America. « I am sure she had slept with him. » Cried America , shaking in all directions before adding; « It's been several days since I've wondered who might want to sleep with her, I've even , blah, blah, blah ... »

And there he goes again in his usual paranoia, spying on everyone, trying to master other countries by his ideology. And saying that he criticizes dad on it, they are really similar on this method, thought Canada, but he knew what would cost him to say his thoughts aloud, his brother would find a way to avenge or humiliate him in the months to come. For these reasons, Canada preferred to remain silent, and to play the game of America as long as possible until the latter was satisfied.- Who are you talking about? Asked while baying Canada, who had not understood at all, what his brother had been mumbling for twenty minutes.

" But France and this bastard of communist!" America replied angrily, who couldn't stand for someone not to pay attention to what he was saying.

" USSR?"

"Yes, him, who I don't know why dad is trying to deny that's it him."

" Maybe it's not him then?"

" No! I am sure that France sleep with him, after all she has always been in good term with these reds , and then in her population this party is still popular . It disgusts me that she did not clean up or that she simply banned it ,instead, she lets them express themselves,and be in her government ."

"You still resent the fact that she kicked you out of her country or that she managed to get up to the table of the winners or else it is ..."

"Shut the fuck up! Of course, I didn't like it when once I came to rescue her from the third Reich, saving Europe for the second time, and there she ...immediately after she became hostile to my installation, by demanding and imposing the withdrawal of my troops." America cried out while making big movement with these arms, before Canada, which was visibly tired of all this nonsense.

"She immediately noticed that you tried to destroy her."Tried to justify Canada , he did not like when his brother criticized his mother , she was certainly for America more like his mother-in-law but it was still her and Spain who helped him during his war of independence. "Stupid , I never wanted to destroy her." Bitching America , who couldn't stand his younger brother's accusations, about his actions or attempt. "Yet it was indeed the project of your President Roosevelt and his plan for Europe, wasn't he?" Canada risked.

"Yes, there was that. However, that was not my goal."

"America", said Canada in a weary tone while watched him sweat nervously, he knew that his brother had discussed it with Roosevelt on the question of Europe, that he was happy to be able to show his power over the European countries, some of which had snubbed him and criticized him .

" Admit America, you are trying to weaken the old colonial empires to increase your own power."Murmured timidly Canada, who immediately regretted making this comment, seeing his big brother take off his iconic sunglasses and his dark blue eyes then flashed lightning.

"And so what!" The latter replied, visibly angry.

" You cannot criticize Mom's actions." Dared shyly Canada by hardly supporting America's insistent gaze.

"And if she chose the camp of this communist. You would follow her like a good big boy to his mommy, eh."

" And so you try to intimidate me, for what? And then mom is still a powerful country whether you like it or not!" He bits his tongue, insulting himself internally for saying that.

"No, I ... , she ...she is no longer a great power, period. And then she has already started to make treaties with this coco."

"What are you talking about, Mom wouldn't do something like that."Canada really didn't like how things were going, he was hopeless that everything would stop, and that this nightmare would end so that he could finally rest. "Oh yes, well look,and open big your eyes, my dear brother. She did not wait until the end of the war to form an alliance with the USSR, they signed on December 10, 1944 in Moscow."

Canada remained speechless due to this revelation, how he could not have been made aware of it, it is perhaps a small treatise of nothing at all that will probably have no impact in the future, finally he hoped . However , what irritated him the most was not this treaty, but the air of complete satisfaction that America displayed. It was with an inordinate calm and in a frigid tone that Canada uttered his words that hurt America:

"You have changed far too much. You are no longer the brother I knew."

Day 2 of asking for yandere hawks x pregnant chubby reader

I have heard the cries of your ask :3 my child sorry it took me forever to complete :3 hopefully you enjoy it :3!

I made it a bit more fluffy :3

—-

Hawks will be overprotective of you that’s when your not pregnant now add a baby to the mix it’s like being in your own prison ( well you already are ).

He baby proves the house it’s a bonus added since you don’t get hurt and once the child comes out the house will be safe enough for them. He also make sure that any sharp utensils are put away correctly.

If your stove is an open fire he is totally cooking for you ( even though he kind of sucks so you’re telling him how to cook in reality.)

As a yandere he lowers his sadistic self and actually starts acting like a real loving partner.

It frightens you sometimes because you forget that he still is the one that kidnapped you, even though he’s massaging your feet while watching your favorite show. While both of you are just laughing and throwing witty banter. Enjoying the small moments where you lower your walls and open up. Remembering who you were …..remembering the outside….

!

Since you are chubby he watches your weight carefully. He stopped insulting you since he once did a side comment and your tears were running for days . You wouldn’t even face him, refusing to eat.

That quickly made him shut his mouth more .

He loves your soft tummy !

He is always by your side at home . Talking to the baby making sure you are okay .

His favorite thing is getting greeted at the door by you and feeling your stomach on his body . He gives you a big kiss and then one to his little boy ( Keigo knew it was a boy a long time )

Maternity photo shoot….  did I forget to mention that it’s decorated with his feathers and gold.

If you are a well behaved darling he actually takes you outside to get your checkups . Like a little walk outside :) a small reward as he calls it .

Buuuut if you aren’t a good wife and especially in public well there are always doctors who are just in it for the money .

Being moody and aggressive with him can cause him to lose his patience and that means he needs to correct your behavior so maybe he might take a bit longer when you need that medicine or when your skin urgently needs that coco butter créame .

So even if pregnant he still punishes you psychologically and he has his right hand man helping him in the inside.

“ Dove we are going to be late for the doctors remember it’s at 4:30.”

Keigo was putting on his warm coat as it was December outside . He got two red scarfs one for him and the other for you .

He was putting one of his feathers in side to make sure to track you if anything happened while the doctor took you to the other room.

He didn’t hear you reply but he did hear a sniff and he knew what those meant .

You were looking into the mirror again. Critiquing your body looking at all of the lumps and bumps. Stretch marks running across your figure, with the cherry on top your swollen stomach.

He knew being 5 months along was rough and your baby belly has gotten bigger with it . He wished you knew how beautiful you looked carrying his child .

He was proud that he breed you just right :> and he’s going to be the best papa ! He just knows it !

He walked to the shared bedroom and saw you naked. He quickly calmed himself down before doing something he really shouldn’t.

“ Dove, you okay ?”

He saw tears running down your face . He moved quickly covering you with his wings .

“ keigo … I don’t feel beaut-“

He lifts your face to see your eyes wiping way those tears.

“ you might not feel beautiful my dove , but trust me when I say you are beautiful.”

He kisses your lips softly, a loving kiss for his loving wife .

“ let’s go to the the doctors and then how about your favorite park ?”

Your eyes had a light that he hasn’t seen in a while .

“ C-c-can we feed the d-duck.?” Wiping your face feeling it warm he nods encouraging that small light .

“ yup ! We do have extra bird seeds.”

He turned you around and took a step from you . You were know facing your bedroom instead of the mirror . As keigo walks around the clothes he picked out a red coat he loves on you .

“ my dear red is such a beautiful color on you .”

He got your outfit ready wanting you to match him and the scarf .

—-

He was buttoning the last button on on your coat he looked at your pulp lips and gave them a quick kiss .

“ love you (Y/n) .”

You looked at him and gave him a small smile

“ love you too keigo .”

You lean your forehead on his chest, letting his wings hug you as well .

—

While feeding the ducks he was puffing out his chest to tell the ducks and swans that’s his mate . You just thought he was cold so you just held his hand feeding to his bird ego.

He felt proud that you were being such a good dove. He was a bit nervous you would fly away and get taken away or be trouble but nope you are calm and trained the perfect dove.

He rubbed your stomach feeling his son kick.

“ HE KICKED ! Dove he kicked ! Hi it’s daddy!”

He kneeled to stomach level and continued to talk and rub your stomach .

You chuckled at his actions . You knew he wanted to be a father you just sadly didn’t want him to be the father but you promised your baby you will be the best mom in the world .

You knew your Baby would grow in an odd world but you would make it the best, even if that means including that damn hawk keeping you trapped.

You are afraid..because every day he gets a bit sweeter and your walls are breaking. Plus this baby is making you tired so you let some things pass by, just like your opportunity to tell the doctor for help or even the fact your room was right next to the emergency exit .. no one would have noticed.

“ love you my dove and our hatchling .”

But

This baby makes you tired and keigo is taking you out to eat dinner and it’s your favorite !

“ say Ah my dove ! This cake is so delicious!”

Did he mention a body massage with a comedy movie tonight?

“ maybe one day we can go to Paris as well . What do you think ? “

Oh! He doesn’t work tomorrow ? So lazy cuddles in the morning!

“ five more minutes the hatching and I need more nap time dove .”

Telling your self it’s all for the baby .

“ alright five more keigo and then we eat breakfast okay ?”

He nuzzled your shoulder and nods

“ love you dove .”

You leaned in and smiled

“ love you too keigo.”

[finelinevogue]

Omg yes of course! Though I would like to see a dad Harry or a wedding related blurb and/or imagine :))

Have a great day!!

dadrry is my favourite! let’s go!!

September 14th. The dreaded day.

This day had been a long time coming and one that you hadn’t properly prepared yourself for. Harry was very relaxed about it all, teasing you when you cried for being such a wuss. Your emotions just seemed to overrule your mind and the tears were out once more.

“I don’t want her to!” You sobbed against Harry’s chest like a big ol’ baby.

Both of you were cuddled up on the couch, you snuggled tight into Harry’s side. His arm was around you back and laying rest on your waist, whilst he constantly gave you forehead kisses to soften your cries. The TV was playing some quiz show, but neither of you were watching anymore.

“Lovie, she has to.” Harry softly laughed at how ridiculous you were being, but at the same time keeping himself strong because he, too, wanted to cry now.

“But she’s too young!” You whined louder than a 3 year old being denied sweets.

“Y/N, love, she’s five. It’s time okay?”

“No. She’s my little girl.” You pouted, tears in your eyes but no longer streaming down your face.

“And she still is your little girl. Mine too. She’s just going to little people school now,” Harry kisses your cheek as you looked up at him, “she’s going to learn so many new and exciting things, yeah? She’ll make so many friends - if she’s anything like her parents, which believe me she is.”

You laughed at his attempt to cheer you up a bit. You weren’t ready to admit to yourself that your baby was going to school. It felt like yesterday you were taking her home from the hospital and beckoning to her every cry, now she was so independent for a 5 year old that you sometimes felt useless.

“She’ll be graduating university before we know it.”

“Baby, I think you’re getting a bit ahead of yourself there!” Harry chuckled, catching a tear from the corner of your eye and wiping it on his joggers.

“Maybe.” You rolled your eyes in agreement with him, but not wanting to admit that out loud.

You tucked your head back against his chest and hugged him tighter, not wanting to feel like you were losing anyone else. You hiccuped your cries away as you finished watching the end of the crappy TV show, before going to bed together and dreading the next day.

••••

“Uh oh.”

The house was frantic this morning and it really didn’t need to be. You were preparing Poppy’s snacks for the day, whilst Harry was double checking the checklist for things she needed and Poppy was eating her breakfast. Well, trying to eat her breakfast.

“Oh Poppy!” You sighed when you saw that the milk from her cereal had gone all over her jumper. Luckily, you were a prepared mum and had bought two of everything. “Ok arms up.” You told her and she did, pausing herself from her Coco Pops.

You threw the dirty jumper into the washing machine and pulled out a clean one from the airing cupboard.

“Here, let me.” Harry offered, seeing as you were still cutting up fruit and vegetables for her.

“Thank you.” Kissing him on the lips before getting back to your station.

“Alright little miss, arms up.” Harry ordered his daughter. “You’re a right messy eater aren’t you?”

“Mhm.” Poppy said, quite flat and quiet.

“Hey Hops, what’s wrong sweetheart?” Harry had forever called his daughter Hops as a nickname, because when she was first trying to say her name she couldn’t pronounce the ‘P’ so would call herself ‘Hoppy’ instead.

Poppy looked down at her cereal as Harry was adjusting the jumper on her accordingly.

You were quietly putting the snacks inside a container as you listened to their conversation.

“Just scared daddy,” she pouted, “I don’t think i’ll make many friends.”

“Hops, listen to me,” Harry made his daughter look at him and crouched down on the floor - so he was now looking up at her, “you’re going to have the best time of your life in school, okay? You’re going to make so many friends and every day is going to be an adventure—”

“Like the ones me and you have, daddy?” Poppy asked excitedly, making you smile to yourself.

“Exactly like that, baby. Except they won’t be as good, because I won’t be there.”

“Well I don’t want them to be as good if you’re not there.” Poppy cupped her dads cheek so softly, it brought tears to Harry’s eyes.

Pull it together, Harry thought.

“You’re going to be safe there Hops, and you’ll just love it.”

“Okay daddy.” She nodded. “Love you.”

“Love you, too. Now go brush your teeth and then we’ll go.” Poppy hopped off the chair and went upstairs to brush her teeth - carefully this time.

•••••

Harry just had to bring his fucking huge Range Rover.

You would’ve been quite happy to turn up in your civil Mini Cooper, but no. Harry said first day impressions are the most important and so ‘go big or go home’.

As Harry finally found a parking space big enough to to fit his asshole car in, you were finally at your destination. The first trip to this school of many.

“Alright baby, let’s do this.” You had no idea whether Harry had said that to you or Poppy, but both of you listened and began to climb out of the car. Poppy waited for Harry to open her door and hoist her out of the car - seeing as this stupid car was far too high up for her to climb.

Could you tell you hated this showy car?

Poppy took ahold of both your hands, walking in between you both. She was happily humming to herself whilst you and Harry sussed out the playground. Some children were stood cowered behind their parents legs and some were already playing tag with each other by the swings.

The sound of screaming children was so loud, but it created an atmosphere of happy chaos.

“You okay Hops?”

“Yep!” Poppy was more than excited now - she just wanted the day to start.

You and Harry went to go and stand over by some other parents who were just as lost as your family was.

“Hi? Excuse me,” you waited for them to turn around, smiling with happy faces - their daughter stood behind one of her dad’s legs in fear, “do you know where the Reception students are supposed to go right now?”

“Someone said they’d be out in five minutes to round them all up, I think.” One dad spoke back.

“Thank you!” You reached out your hand to shake theirs, “Hi i’m Y/N Styles. This is my husband, Harry and my daughter Poppy.”

“Nice to meet you. Archie and Felix Johnson. This our daughter, Millie.”

Everyone introduced themselves by shaking hands, but what surprised you all was the interaction between your two, seemingly, timid daughters.

“Hi Millie! Would you like to be my friend?” Poppy walked up to her and asked politely. Millie had appeared from behind her parents and excitedly nodded her head in yes.

•••••

After school Poppy was a bundle of energy and happiness. She couldn’t wait to talk about her day with her two favourite people.

“So how was school then, sweetheart?” You asked her on your car journey back home.

“It was so really good,” her grammar not being entirely correct, but you not having the heart to correct her yet, “and there’s this boy in my class…”

As she continued to talk you looked to Harry with a smirk, seeing his face full of disgust and soft anger. Harry spoke one final time, before your attention was fully dedicated to Poppy.

“She’s moving schools.”

~

You met in August. A warm and rainy August, the type of day where you can feel the humidity by how heavy your hair was against your skin. A dimly lit party, with fairy lights strung over the walls of a trust fund med students duplex.

It was something out of a 90s coming of age movie, you locked eyes from across the room and everyone else blurred to a stop. A lightning bolt struck through you, and once you made contact with her nothing was more important than her.

When the world unfroze, it sped up. But she stayed in the same place. You walked toward each other in sync and stopped within an inch of each other. "Hi," you said.

"Hi" She had a pretty voice. Really everything about her was pretty. Her eyes were deep and dark, her body rose up and down with her breath in a graceful way, her skin looked soft even from a distance, and you could've run your hands through her hair for hours.

Pretty.

Before you could blink you had been on a dozen coffee dates, spent at least 20 hours at the fair winning stupid stuffed animals for each other that you proudly rested on your bed like a trophy.

You moved into her apartment before even realizing it. You hadn't been to your flat for a month and then it occurred to you 'maybe we should move in together.' And so you did. It wasn't difficult, all of your stuff was in Monica's place so all you had to do was cancel your lease and you and Monica were officially living together.

You got two elderly cats named Fred and Coco, and Monica officiated their wedding. That was when marriage first occurred to you.

You had been together for almost 3 years and been living together for more than half of that.

The wedding was beautiful. Nothing big, just a small ceremony on a bridge in central park. She was the most beautiful bride you had ever seen. You cried watching her walk down the aisle with her mother. She did too, but she would never admit it. She was so pretty.

It was officiated by her family friend, SHIELD Director Nick Fury. You were fairly aware of Monica's exotic family, there were 2 spies, 5 veterans, 3 secret agents, and a superhero (with some overlap) at your wedding. But Monica wanted to protect you so she kept her secrets, you didn't push it.

Within an hour you were a Rambeau. Your reception was at an underground (literally) bar on the Lower East Side. You celebrated with expensive alcohol and cheesy fries. A beautiful wedding with a beautiful bride.

While your wedding only had a dozen people, your reception was bursting with joy and people. You had met Monica's mom Maria plenty of times before, but she was the happiest you had ever seen her at the wedding. Not only because her only daughter was getting married, but because her "best friend" Carol was there. You saw how they looked at each other.

You danced well into the morning, and booked the plane to your honeymoon at 5 am for good reason. You watched the first sunrise as a married couple while Monica slept on your shoulder on the plane to Greece.

Your honeymoon in Santorini was heaven. Visiting the ruins, and hours in Wineries, hundreds of dollars of fancy restaurants, and street food. Perfect.

You probably spent half of your vacation on the beach. You found a hidden trail through the brush from a dishwasher at a brunch you went on the second day. What can you say, Monica had that effect on people.

So, it was just you and your wife on a blue beach. There really is nothing better than running sunscreen on your half-naked wife's shoulders. Since your special spot was only a mile away from your BnB, you spent many nights skinny dipping in the cold sky blue ocean.

By the time the ten days were up you never wanted to leave. But when you got back to your house and cats you were just as happy. You were going to spend the rest of your life with your wife.

And that's when everything turned to shit.

Maria got diagnosed with cancer and wouldn't come home for weeks, you did everything to support her, but there wasn't much you could do. You can't cure cancer or heal her mom, all you could do was be there for Monica.

Your wife spent more hours in hospitals and at work than she did with you. She didn't even come home for a week after your cat Fred died.

And then all of the sudden you were a widow.

The snap took everything you had. Your wife, your cat, everything good in your life was gone in 30 seconds. Director Fury was gone, Maria left in two years, all of your friends were doctors or secret agents, so you didn't talk to them either.

Everything was gone. Half of the superheroes were left, and double the criminals built up. People were crying in Supermarkets, and within a year you were the only one left on your floor at work. Your friends were too busy to call, and therapists' waiting lists were too long to add you.

Most of the superheroes left either retired, went crazy, started fighting on different worlds, or were way too overwhelmed to deal with everything. You were on your own.

And you couldn't complain, everyone else had lost someone. Most people you met were either widows, childless parents, or both.

Dates weren't fun either, half of the time you or them or both didn't show up. You cried through the other half. None of them progressed past the first date. Your hookups were equally sad. There seemed to be a silent agreement not to talk about the names people cried out during sex. No one wanted to talk about everything everyone lost.

It was like there was a collar with a leash around your throat, and every time you tried to move, it cut into your neck and slit your vocal cords. You couldn't talk or move without thinking about Monica.

You can't move on from the loss of your life. People aren't supposed to get over the death of the love of their lives. At least you weren't supposed to.

And then as quickly as she was gone, she was back again. You realized something was wrong when you heard meowing from the bathroom. Coco was back.

In another Monica was in your kitchen, rain speckled over her face, flattening her curls on her cheeks. And then, just like the first time you met, everything stopped.

It wasn't something that just happened. You can't see your dead wife in the kitchen without thinking you were crazy.

Your brain stopped thinking about how you met, your wedding, your honeymoon, your cats, and focused on the moment.

Your dead wife was in your kitchen, soaking wet from tears and rain. And you couldn't be sure you weren't crazy.

You probably should've run away, or called the police, but you didn't. Because your wife was 5 feet away from you, alive and breathing.

You ran to her and held her. Your clothes getting soaked in the process. "Monica."

"(Y/n)."

"You're alive?" You said, resting your hand on her cheek.

"Yeah, I'm alive Baby, I'm alive." She said laughing, which made you laugh too.

You kissed her like you hadn't been able to kiss her for the last 5 years.

A movie kiss. Everything in your life seemed like a movie at that moment.

But if your life was a movie, it definitely wasn't a fairytale.

Before everything, your marriage was perfect. But this wasn't before. This was the after.

You stayed in bed for a week, crying, sleeping, kissing, holding each other. And then real life hit.

There was work to be done, arrangements to be made, people to call, cemetery plots to dig up and funerals to attend that took their place.

Your life returned to the same old stuck place it was before Monica's death.

"I've been thinking," Monica said, cutting into her steak at dinner.

"A dangerous pastime." You responded, trying to make the conversation. The space in between you and your wife was already a chasm.

"I want to go back to work," She suggested, look up at you, "I'm going back to work." She said as a statement this time.

You didn't know what to say, After not having your wife for a decade, she was leaving again. If she had a normal job it would be no problem, but she didn't. She would be away for days, weeks, or maybe even a month with her job. You didn't want to lose your wife again.

'HOW DARE YOU! DO YOU NOT LOVE ME ANYMORE??!!!' Is what you wanted to say, but instead you said: "Good idea."

And resumed eating in silence.

Monica was gone by the time you woke up. She sent you a text that said 'be back in two days, and then radio silence.

You just went back to sleep.

Then someone knocked on the door. 'Missing'. She wasn't presumed dead. They probably would've told you.

You drove up to the military base SWORD set up and waited for your wife. No one talked to you besides Director Hayward.

It was sad and lonely. You didn't even know that Monica had come back until she was gone again. It ruined you that your wife didn't care about you enough to tell you she wasn't dead.

You tracked down Dr. Lewis and Agent Woo, and they told you everything. They didn't want to tell you that she might be dead for good, but they knew they had to.

When you heard the news that the hex was down you sobbed to yourself. Monica wasn't back yet.

And then Darcy told you she was alive. And you cried even harder. She was alive, but she didn't want you.

"Um, Darcy. Look she obviously wants this more than me, just uh, just keep her safe, okay?" You said through teary eyes.

"Why would you think I don't want you?" It's Monica's voice. You know it better than anyone else's.

Darcy slips out of the tent before you respond.

"Because you left the first chance you could." You say, honest for the first time in weeks.

"Baby, I didn't want to leave you." She says, walking towards you slowly, so you wouldn't run away. Monica definitely knew you.

"You didn't?" You respond, looking at your wife.

"No, of course not baby." She takes another step forward, "I was gone for 5 years, you had been through enough. You couldn't deal with me being different, or me missing my mom, or-"

"Monica, all I've wanted for 5 years is to deal with you. I didn't get a new life, I just lived in purgatory."

"Really?" She says, tearing up for the first time since you had come back.

And that's when you realized that in your haste, and in your longing, you hadn't actually been with your wife. You had just pushed each other so far away and blamed it on the other.

In trying to protect each other, you broke each other instead.

Monica kissed you, really kissed you, for the first time in half a decade, you held your wife, and for the first time in a really, really long time, you felt happy.

So happy, that you didn't notice Darcy and Jimmy fist-bumping each other from outside your tent.

You kissed all the way back to your apartment. You talked to each other for a long time about everything. What happened, what was going to happen. Everything, all about each other. And mostly in bed.

It wasn't the same as before, and it wasn't going to go back to that place, and neither of you wanted that. You wanted the new each other. The different, the special, the beautiful.

You were making a kitchen for your wife, humming to yourself in your underwear and your apron. As much as you loved Monica, you were definitely the cook in the family. You were twirling around the kitchen when you saw the calendar.

It had been 10 years for you since you had met, and 5 for Monica.

Hands snuck around your naked waist and kissed the inside of your neck, and you giggled. "Good morning to you too."

Monica twisted you around and put the pancake batter on the kitchen counter and you smiled into her kiss. "Happy anniversary baby." She exclaimed, and you laughed as you wrapped your arms loosely around her neck, and kissed your pretty wife again.

And you didn't plan on letting Monica go again anytime soon.
