[Headcannons] A Day At The Beach w/ The Ghouls & Ghoulettes

Cutesy lil fluffy thoughts that came to me at 3 am about my favorite band.

Thank you to my writing muse and fabulous goddess @sink-me-in-your-ocean for always proofreading my docs.

Bone apple teet (-‿◦☀)

ℝ𝕒𝕚𝕟

bolts straight for the ocean, manically laughing - he very delulu but so stinking cute

wears fish themed swim trunks with matching fishy arm floaties

anyone who dares enter his domain is in for quite the surprise…

he pretends to be a shark

playfully gnaws on your ankles under the water before yanking on your leg and pulling you under

finds pretty seashells and gifts them to you with the most heart warming smile

“Rain! Its time to leave! Lets go!” you annoyingly yelled into the void of the blue ocean, knowing for damn sure he heard you.

In the distance you spot a gray blob emerging from the surface of the water, “NO!” the voice echoed back to shore before disappearing once again.

…

The car ride home, Rain was sitting in the back row curled up in a ball, tears silently flowing down his cheeks as he aimlessly stared out the window. *insert Summertime Sadness by Lana del Rey*

You roll your eyes as you catch a glimpse of him in the rear view mirror, shaking your head in disbelief, he is such a drama queen…

𝕄𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟

he’s here for the good vibes and shade

paints a thick coat of sunscreen from head to toe

lounges under the umbrella with a paperback book of Twilight

ends up falling asleep within 20 minutes

could honestly sleep for eternity

In a hushed whisper, “M-mountain?”, you gently nudge his shoulder, attempting to awake him so you can pack up the car and leave.

No response.

Anxiety slowly creeps in, i-is he dead?

His neck is exposed and you take two fingers to take his pulse, as soon as you make contact he jolts awake, both of you screaming. Him with a high-pitched shriek of fear and you in shock that he’s alive.

“I thought you were a vampire!” he hysterically gasped.

𝔻𝕖𝕨𝕕𝕣𝕠𝕡

hates despises water with a fiery passion (don’t get me started when it's time for him to bathe)

he made it his mission to dig the largest hole possible beside Phantom and Swiss who were on their separate crusade to construct the most glorious sand castle

starts clawing at the sand like a deranged dog, kicking the small particles in Phantom and Swiss’s face

gets scolded and growls at them before repositioning himself the other way

happily zens out in his proudly accomplished hole

doesn’t realize the high tide was coming in as the day went on, causing the shoreline to sneak in closer and closer

A small stream of water trickled into his territory but he ignored it, not thinking much of it at all and resumed his rest, leaning up against the high wall with his arms crossed. Dozing off after a laborious work day.

SWOOSH! A huge tidal wave of water crashed in, submerging him in salty depths, ultimately scaring him. He yelped and frantically tried to climb out of the overflowing pit. You rushed over to rescue him, pulling him up, his body shivering from the frigid temperature.

Once he secured his bearings within your arms, he angrily turned back to see the catastrophic wreckage. Madness ensued - every hair in his small figure shooting straight up and his tail viscously whipping side to side, creating dents in the soft sand.

Oh, he big mad.

This wasn’t the first time he’s lost his cool and most certainly will not be the last. He aggressively launched himself towards the evil aqua, nothing but pure rage fueling his very fiber. You swiftly caught him by the waist, wrapping your arms around him and digging your heels into the ground for proper anchorage.

He violently hissed and swatted his arms about like a mad man, you held onto him for dear life, shouting, “Dewdrop! Stop it!” over the savage snarling and profanity spewing out of his tiny mouth.

(home boy really thought he could physically throw hands with water).

ℙ𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕠𝕞 & 𝕊𝕨𝕚𝕤𝕤

true definition of bromance

begged and pleaded for you to buy them the “Super Duper Crazy Mega Plastic Sand Castle” building kit (as advertised on TV). Equipped with every tool in the shed to assemble the perfect castle of your dreams!

they damn well knew how to abuse their power of sad puppy dog eyes and pouting lips

so of course you caved into their ridiculous yet adorable request

They scouted the vast sandy land, personal privateers carrying out the Dark Lord’s decree. Dewdrop tagged along behind them as they paced back and forth in this vigorous expedition for the “perfect spot” to declare ownership.

Swiss grunted in annoyance, “That’s too far of a walk from the water, we need it to dampen the sand.”

Phantom sighed, pointing to the area Swiss had fallen in love with, “The rocks are going to get in the way, it's too close.”

The two continued to butt heads, both equally stubborn and childish.

Dewdrop stood in the middle of them, his head whipping between who was speaking. Bored with the endless bickering, he plopped down on the cushiony sand, tracing a phallic symbol in the pale dirt, “What about right here?”

They exchanged a mischievous look with one another, mirroring a brow raise at the fascinating offer. In unison they shouted, leaping in the air to tackle down poor little Dewdrop.

“LAND HO!”

𝕊𝕦𝕟𝕤𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖

fashioning the cutest teeny, weeny, polka dot bikini

sprawled out her towel on the pillowy ground and laid facing down

basking in the sun's scorching hot rays

much like a cat, she loved to lounge in the sun any chance she got

its ultraviolet rays recharging her energy- utter bliss

She stretched her limbs far out as she could before turning over to roast the front of her body, exhaling a deep yawn and placing large rounded shades over her eyes.

Her face scrunched in frustration at the commotion coming from Phantom, Swiss and Dewdrop hooting and hollering - it was disturbing her well deserved me time and she will not have them ruin it!

She propped up on her elbows, lowering the shades to the tip of her nose to gander at what the fuck was going on, “Aye!”, she roared loud enough for everyone within a mile radius to hear, “Shut up over there! I’m trying to relax!”

All three immediately stopped to stare at her with wide, fearful expressions, knowing from past experience she would definitely give em a good bop on the head for pissing her off.

In a stink eye glaring standoff with the Ghouls, she slowly pushed up the frame of her sunglasses -not breaking contact- to re-cover her eyes and reclined backwards to lay.

“Idiots…” she muttered to herself.

*insert shopping spree montage*

The ultra plush sand squished and practically swallowed their feet as they struggled to walk back to the group, hands full of bags from the shopping haul that they kindly charged to Papa’s credit card.

After settling in at basecamp, they began to unload the many items from chic clothing pieces to varying sizes of memorability that were neatly bound in gift wrap and topped with a colorful bow.

Cirrus used her thumb and pointer finger to whistle, calling the unruly herd to gather. The Ghouls' faces lit up in excitement as they sprinted to welcome the Ghoulettes. As Cirrus distributed the presents, Cumulus unboxed a package of ice cream sandwiches, letting each individual Ghoul pick out a flavor as they approached.

Today was a great day for the beach.

random gone headcanons that have popped into my unhinged little brain, likely part 2

ayo we back my guys. i’ve had many gone related thoughts (and conversations, shout out to the gone brainrot gc on ig 🫦) since i made the last one of these so y’all are gonna have to bear w me while i get them out of my system. okay thanks bye onto the hcs (also my current fancasts for some of the characters at the end !!)

tall lanky astrid truther. alternatively, short ass mf drake truther.

diana is a skin care girly for sure. when the boys use those several in one things she goes into a frenzy.

everyone at coates bullies diana w diana by one direction but can only get away w it bc caine does it too (i’m not sure when that song came out but pretend it works okay. i like this.)

drakes whip is gross as fuck. like veined and slimy and shit like a genuine tentacle it’s the worst. thank you user inkskxtch for reminding me of this fact

astrid has scottish heritage on her mothers side. her grandfather is genuinely from scotland so she has a slight accent

diana is named after princess diana and took it extremely personal and demands to be treated as such

caine fell first but diana fell harder

quinn has consistent issues w his dad. in the first book he says he had a fight w his dad the night before the fayz which leads me to believe that happened a lot

because of this i think he spent a lot of time at sam’s house and saw connie as a surrogate parent figure. which is adorable

after he got over being a douchebag to edilio, quinn actually had a crush on him and never told a single soul, not even sam.

astrid is asexual, quinn, diana, orc and lana are bi, howard is gay and caine is some kind of fruit. there’s no way to convince me he doesn’t like men. you cannot do it.

i also like hcing drake as pan bc 1) i don’t like the stereotype that the bubbly happy character is always pan and like to combat it w making the most vicious angry violent characters i can find pan and 2) he has way too much chemistry w every man he’s ever been in a room w to be straight

okay hi also i thought i’d add some of my fancasts bc i’m very proud of them and need everyone to know what they are. some are set in stone, some of them i’m still on the fence about. pls i am begging you give me other ideas bc i’m losing my mind trying to place the other characters i will take any kind of suggestion i’m serious. anyways here are the scrunklies i lobe them so much

isabela merced louis partridge

as diana ladris as caine soren

joshua bassett anna cathcart

as quinn gaither as mary terrafino

hunter schaefer sadie sink

as astrid ellison as brianna berenson

i’m still on the fence about these two. i don’t know is sadie truly gives brianna’s chaotic energy justice and hunter is 24 which is slightly older than i’d like my fancasts to be due to the characters being like. 14. but she fits my vision of astrid well so for now i’m going w it. but besides those i’m completely sold on the rest. these are my children and i adore them. i am also open to suggestions for the other characters (especially sam give me my boy) bc i’m struggling so bad w everyone else

anyways that’s all the thoughts i have for now have fun w this messy ass post

If We Can’t Have the Parties, At Least We Have the Coats: Lookbook no.13

Hi to anyone reading,

It’s been a weird winter, right?

A winter that I REALLY did not need to buy as many clothes for as I have. You WILL save loads of money during this lockdown, I told myself. You WILL. And yet here I am in December, in exactly the same financial position I was in March. You would think that making the switch to an environmentally friendly wardrobe would mean I own less but now I no longer have the guilt of supporting fast fashion to hold me back, I’ve accumulated more clothes than ever. Part of a sustainable wardrobe is also about reducing your consumption so now I’ve mostly made the move towards only supporting transparent companies/small businesses, I can move onto the buying less part. I haven’t thrown any clothes away but still, I am not the clothes rescuer I think I am-more just an overdraft abuser. To add to that, for those of us actually following the rules (half the people I went to secondary school with flaunting their apparently unaffected social lives on Instagram, I’m looking at you) there aren’t actually all that many opportunities to wear new outfits. Not to go too first world problems, but it is a little shit when getting dressed up and doing your makeup is one of the things that you do to help you feel a little better, especially when the seasonal (and situational in these times) depression kicks in.

So yes, I have been extra af recently and combatted this with the decision to start making an effort to outfit plan for the most basic of tasks. We’re talking a full face of makeup and accessories for going into town to get a coffee or to meet a friend for a walk. I mean, I still go to Tesco in my trackies but if I’m seeing somebody else, I am sure as hell going to treat it as a reason to wear something nice. See the winter outfits section of the lookbook as your inspiration to do the same because I can guarantee you the sense of normality forcing yourself to take makeup off at the end of the day brings will actually make you feel a lot better. Genuinely the mark of exceptional times. We’ve also got the few days relief period over Christmas in the UK where we’re allowed to mix with a maximum of 3 other households, and ignoring the fact that it doesn’t really make any sense given that the number of people you could end up mixing with depends on the size of the households and is realistically completely arbitrary (I have a lot of feelings about how fucking moronic half the decisions this government has been making are but then again, what’s new?), I’m sure those of you with big families are gonna be partying. I’m only spending Christmas with my immediate family but I thought I’d put some more festive outfits together anyway. I know, I know, it sounds like I’m just bullshitting an explanation as to why I put this lookbook together when in reality I’m trying to make myself feel better about the damage to my bank account buuuut it really is more a case of being inspired by my Depop finds and if you are trying to quit fast fashion, I can’t recommend the app enough (especially if you know what you’re looking for). As I did in the last lookbook, I will make sure to include the tags of all the people I bought these pieces from but I also thought it might be helpful to make a note of some of the descriptors I used to find them so you can get more of an idea how to find the things you’re looking for too, as well as prices. I did include the names of the shops I bought the few fast fashion items I styled from too, mostly earlier this year or at some point over the last couple of years, on the basis that they may be a useful search prompt if you’re looking for something similar or the exact item-the majority are no longer available (disclaimer: I haven’t bought anything from Boohoo in a longgg time) to buy but you might be able to find an account that’s selling a used version. Don’t be put off by that-I’ve had to wash a couple of pieces but for the most part, that hasn’t been necessary. Charity shops usually wash things before they put them out, so you have nothing to worry about there either-I expect that they’re particularly thorough at the moment considering the COVID crisis.

Enough rambling from me for now! Enjoy!

Anyone that read to the end, thank you so much as always and I hope this shows just how many in-trend pieces you can find second hand! I know I'm SUPER far behind to the point where it’s closer to the F/W2021 shows now than it is since the S/S2021 collections were showcased but I decided I am going to do a full length fashion week review. I also have a few moodboards planned and my next is gonna be one focussing purely on plus sized fashion as the feedback that I got from my New Style Icons post was that I could have included more bigger girls; I am so, so, SO passionate about body positivity and fat acceptance, especially since I know my own relationship with my body would be so much better if this kind of movement was more prominent when I was younger, so I don’t for a minute want anyone to think it was my intention to be exclusionary in any way. It bears repeating that I genuinely appreciate feedback in any form (as long as it’s not too mean and presumptive, lol) and I hope the next post doesn’t disappoint! It hasn’t been a good year for cinema due to COVID having lead to theatre closures, however I still do want to do another film tier ranking in the new year as that is something I really enjoyed doing last time. Any more suggestions are welcome!

As always, my inbox is always open if you need someone to talk to or just wanna chat about a post:-) I am constantly on the look out for new blogs to follow and people to interact with so any communication is welcome. I’m not sure if I’ll get another post finished before we enter 2021, SO I wanna say that I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and that this shitshow of a year DOES come to an end at 11:59PM on the 31st because THOSE MEMES ABOUT IT TURNING DECEMBER THE 32ND ARE NOT FUNNY! Here’s to our second attempt at our first year of the roaring twenties (because this past year it feels like we skipped them and went straight to The Great Depression, the likely incoming recession denial is real) and to happier times and good health for everyone.

‘Twelve Shades of Love’

Mine and @misssmephisto‘s story

CHAPTER 1 - “We have a daughter...” (PART 2 & 3)

Lana Winters & female reader

II

"Ms Winters we're honoured. From all orphanages you chose ours and it's…"

"Lana, look" Marion cut off the other woman and squeezed the journalist's hand drawing her attention to the group of children playing outside

There she was. Their little angel from that evening. She wasn't playing with the rest. She was sitting alone and reading.

Apparently the girl seemed to be happy – doing her thing, not caring about the other kids. But Lana was too observant. She saw everything. Every little detail. That sad and scared look in y/n's eyes. How other children poke fun at the girl. At that very moment Lana wanted nothing more, but to kick their asses.

"Ms Winters" an elder woman brought her back from her thoughts "I'm sister Ann. I'm in charge here" she said smiling friendly

“You are a nun…” Lana stated

“I am. Is that a problem?”

The journalist took a deep breath. It was hard for her to interact with nuns and priests after Briarcliff, even if she knew that they weren’t bad people.

“No. It’s not a problem” Marion answered squeezing Lana’s hand reassuringly

They looked at each other, then again at sister Ann.

“I just thought it’s a secular orphanage…”

“Not exactly, however I’m the only nun here”

The journalist nodded.

“What can I do for you?”

“We met one of the girls during the mayor’s party last week. We just want to say hello” Marion said enthusiastically

“Which one?”

“Y/n”

“Oooh”

“Can I go to her?” Marion asked

“Of course”

The singer looked at her girlfriend

“Go. I’ll talk with sister Ann” Lana said

Marion nodded and headed to the garden, where the child was.

“What’s her story then?” the journalist asked “Is she here since always or…”

“Her mother lost her mind when she was pregnant. She ended up in asylum and there she gave birth to y/n. She tried to kill that poor child twice”

“What? W-what do you mean?”

“She tried to choked her with a pillow when she was an infant and a year ago, when everyone claimed she’s cured she took y/n home and hit her with a mirror. Y/n still has a scare on her head” the nun shook her head “She was in two foster families, but they didn’t want her. She’s so different. She can either open up or block completely”

“Why didn’t they want her?”

“They claim she’s too much for them”

“She’s 5?”

The older woman nodded

“How a 5 year old can be too much?”

“Ms Winters, I don’t want to be intrusive or pressure you… But if you’re considering adoption you had better make up your mind quickly”

“W-why?”

“I know you and… I know what kind of relation it is. As a member of the church and Christian I don’t approve it. But if you decide to adopt y/n, I’ll do my best to help you. It’s not because you’re Lana Winters, but because that child deserve to have someone who will take care of her. She might be a problematic child, but you Ms Winters should manage. However, I’m not going to be in charge for too long. Mrs Brooks is going to take my place soon and she won’t be that understanding and eager to help…”

Lana moved a little to have a better view of her girlfriend. Marion was sitting on the bench with the girl. The woman seemed to be happy. Happier than Lana could remember her being. The journalist knew that the child won Marion’s heart the first time they had met. The girl had something that captivated both of them, but Lana didn’t want to acknowledge the fact that she liked her too.

The thought of adoption was on their minds since the visit at the orphanage, but Marion didn’t dare to mention it. The singer didn’t want to pressure Lana into anything, especially knowing how hard it was for the woman to deal with her pregnancy and the aftermath of it.

_ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _

It was a few days later. Marion came back home after a few hours that she spent at the opera house. She found Lana sitting in their huge living room with a cigarette in one hand and a book in the other. Though she wasn’t reading anymore. She was just sitting and looking at the wall full of their photos with famous people.

‘Good evening, love’ Marion kissed Lana’s forehead and moved to sit opposite her

The journalist smiled weakly.

‘I’m so tired. That was the worst rehearsal ever. We spent 4 hours practising…’

‘I saw him’ Lana said suddenly

‘What? Who?’

‘I…’ she hesitated ‘I was thinking about y/n. I know you want to take her. I know you want to have a baby, well a kid actually, but well… I just couldn’t stop myself. I went to the orphanage. They told me where he’s going to school and I went there’

Marion approached her girlfriend and cautiously sat next to her.

‘I saw him. I saw Johnny… my son’ Lana explained with shaking voice

‘But why? Why did you go there?’

‘I just… I don’t know. I thought that I should, but now I don’t know anything’

‘What you don’t know? Ask me and I’ll tell you’ Marion took Lana’s hand and squeezed it gently

Winters took a deep breath.

‘What if I’m considering it, because I want to redeem my guilt?’

‘What guilt? Lana’ Marion kneeled right next to the other woman ‘There is no guilt’ she caressed Lana’s cheek ‘You did nothing bad’

‘I left him. I’m his mother… I should have taken care of him. I’m no better than y/n’s mother and now as the guilt is unbearable I’m considering taking her’

‘No. Lana, stop it. You cannot blame yourself for what had happened to you, because it wasn’t your fault. Do you hear me?’ Marion cupped Lana’s cheeks ‘Do you understand? It wasn’t your fault. It’s on them. And you owe him nothing. You already gave him enough. You carried him for 9 months. I can only imagine how hard it was. I wish I was there for you. I know I wouldn’t be able to help you in any way, but at least you wouldn’t have been there alone with all that. Lana, you gave birth to him. You gave him life and that’s the best you could do for him’ the singer carefully wiped the tears that were escaping Lana’s beautiful, brown eyes ‘And when it comes to y/n. I know you like her. Even if you don’t want to admit it. Well, my dear you may try to deceive yourself, but you cannot deceive me. And the truth is that you lost the fight when that little miracle showed you her favourite book and asked you to read to her. She won your heart when she fell asleep in your arms with her tiny hands carefully wrapped around you and her head resting on your chest’

The journalist laughed wiping the last few tears.

‘I love you so much’ she said leaning in and kissing Marion

‘I know, because I love you too. More than anyone before, Ms Winters’

‘Marion’ Lana caressed the singer’s cheek ‘I know you want to have a baby. I know you want to take y/n. And I’m ready’

‘Are you sure? I didn’t want to pressure...’

‘I’m sure. Let’s do this’

III

The adoption procedure was supposed to take about one week. That was the quickest option, that sister Ann came up with. Both Lana and Marion decided to visit the girl as often as possible and spend with her as much time as they could. But they still needed to work. It happened that Marion had a performance and had to leave for two days.

The singer left only when Lana assured her that she's able to deal with visiting y/n and facing sister Ann and Mrs Brooks on her own.

The singer didn't want to go, she knew that it was still hard for Lana, even if she wouldn't admit it.

The journalist was reserved when it came to her feelings. It took quite some time to get to her and Marion knew that Lana just needed a while to let y/n become a part of her life. They were so alike that it wasn't possible not to notice it, so they bonding with watch other was just a matter of time.

The resemblance between them was the first thing that hit Lana. They both had been abandoned –

y/n by her mother and Lana by Wendy. They both were mistreated by people. Hurt deep inside by the world. The only difference was that Lana knew a different life, a positive part of it and asylum was only a temporary period that she had got through. It was different with y/n. She was in the orphanage since always. They're throwing her from one foster family to another not caring much about the child's feelings.

Lana couldn't get over that thoughts. It hurt her the same every time. Usually when she was visiting y/n with Marion she was able to control that side. But without her girlfriend it was going to be twice as hard. There were so many doubts that she couldn't deal with. Lana felt as going crazy with every minute, so as to remain sane she let herself got lost in work.

'Oh no' Lana muttered to herself looking at her watch - it was too late to go and visit y/n 'You fucked up Winters' she shook her head

It wasn't typical for them to miss any visit when they're together, but Marion left and Lana was working. Work had always been the best of all excuses for her, but it wasn't that. Not when it came to the child. She was afraid to go there alone. Afraid of what she may feel or that she may become too attached to the girl. She had a hard time realising it already happened. 

Next day the first thing on Lana's mind was going to the orphanage. She went there in the morning, buying a huge teddy bear on her way. The journalist felt out of place standing at the window of a toy shop, but she wanted to make her absence up to the girl. 

She was trying to calm her nerves by taking deep breaths on her way to the main room, where all the children were usually playing. Every visit was accompanied by anxiety. It was the place and its vibes. Lana could feel negative energy flowing through the walls, but that day it was different. The eerie aura was unbearable. The woman knew something was wrong, but didn't know what until she reached her destination and realised y/n wasn't there.

'Where is she?' Lana entered the sister's office without knocking

'Ms Winters? G-good morning'

' I'd not call it good. Where is y/n?'

'I… She should be in a common room'

'Well, she's not there'

'Maybe she went to the toilet or is in the bedroom'

' She's not!' Lana snapped

'She didn't disappear Ms Winters. There's no need to raise your voice' sister Ann said 

'She is 5. She's not allowed to leave on her own and she's nowhere to be seen here. Also you don't know where she is. So how can I be calm and not raise my voice?'

'Ms Winters, I'm sure we'll find her. Shall we?' the nun pointed at the door

'We shall' Lana said leaving the office

They checked the common room and the bedroom, but they didn't find the kid.

'Maybe she's in the garden. Let's go there' sister Ann suggested hopefully

Lana was following the nun still holding a fluffy toy in her hands. They were about turning and going down the stairs to the door when they heard someone yelling.

They stopped and looked at each other.

That was enough to make the journalist act. Lana didn't wait for sister Ann. She speeded up and as she was getting closer she could hear a silent sobs. She knew it was y/n. She couldn't explain it, but she felt the girl's presence.

Before sister Ann could stop her Lana opened the door. That wasn't expected. Definitely not by Mrs Brooks who jumped when she saw no other, but Lana Winters herself. The journalist didn't even look at the woman, who suddenly went quiet. All her attention was absorbed by the girl - standing in the middle of the room with her eyes red and puffy and cheeks still wet from tears. Lana's heart broke at the sight. She immediately dropped the teddy bear and moved to the child. She knelt, so that she could be face to face with y/n and carefully wiped the girl's cheeks.

'Y-you came' y/n sobbed a bit surprised

'Of course I did' Lana smiled 'Why wouldn't I?'

'You weren't here yesterday… and they said you don't want me anymore' she looked down

'We would never change our mind' Lana stroked the girl's hair 'Why did you doubt that?'

Y/n didn't answer making Lana suspicious. The woman looked at the item that the kid was holding in her little hands. She immediately recognised the book that she had given y/n on their third meeting. The girl was hugging it to her chest, but Lana could notice a few tattered leaves were sticking out of the book.

'Y/N' Lana wanted to caress the girl's cheek, but the kid flinched and moved rapidly.

Only then did the journalist noticed a red mark on y/n's cheek

'What happened?'

'Nothing!' the other woman answered before the girl could say anything

' I'm not talking with you' the journalist said dryly

' She's not able to answer your question'

' But you are?' Lana stood up

' What's going on in here?' sister Ann asked 'Y/n what happened to your face?'

The girl didn't answer, but began to cry.

' Mrs Brooks I expect you to explain what happened'

' Nothing. She just needed to be punished for bad behaviour'

'Are you kidding me?!' Lana yelled 

'What have you done?' the nun looked at the child and then at the caretaker 'You will explain yourself to the outpost board and the mayor' she stated

'Is this a threat? Who do you think you are to threaten to me?'

' It's a warning' sister said 'For now' she added

At those words the other woman puffed her cheeks up and blew a raspberry. She then moved towards the kid. Mrs Brooks started to explain herself, but Lana paid no attention to her words. The journalist was focused on the caretaker's moves and how y/n reacted to them. At some point the woman swung her arm dismissively and that's when she lost. The girl shrieked with terror taking a few steps back and curling into a ball in the corner of the room.

'I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry' she was sobbing

Lana as an observant and clever woman understood it. In that moment everything became clear to her. 

'You hit her…' she looked at Mrs Brooks who suddenly went quiet

'Is that true?' the nun asked

'She didn't give me a choice' the woman began to explain herself

The journalist moved towards the child.

'Hey, sunshine, it's okay. I'm here. She won't hurt you' she offered y/n her hand

The girl looked at Lana with her big teary eyes. She was trembling with fear and Winters couldn't stand seeing her like that. All her memories from asylum suddenly hit her. In the child she could see no other, but herself from asylum.

'That's enough' she cut off the other woman 'I'm taking y/n' she stated and not waiting for response lifted the girl up

Y/N was barely weighting anything and if it hadn't been for her body still shaking a little Lana wouldn't be able to say she was having the girl in her arms. 

'Are you going to let her do that?' Mrs Brooks addressed the nun

Neither sister Ann nor Lana reacted to that. Though the journalist could feel how the girl's hold tightened, so she stroked her back and kissed the top of her head reassuringly. 

'I'll take you to her room and get the papers ready' the elder woman said

They're about leaving the room when Mrs Brooks spoke up again

'That's against the law! You're breaking the rules!'

At that Lana turned around to the other woman

'You're the one who should be afraid of the law. You have no idea who you're messing with' she shook her head 'And that's the threat. If you touch my daughter again or even speak to her I'll make sure your life turns in hell and you won't find any job anywhere'

_ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _

Lana followed sister Ann to the room y/n was sharing with a few more children. She was holding the girl for the whole time trying to calm her down a bit more.

The journalist let the child go only when they were alone. Lana carefully sat the girl down on the bed. Looking deep in the girl's eyes she could almost see her soul. She felt how hurt and scared the child was and that made her heart ache. But despite the inner need to kill the woman who dared to hurt her baby Lana did her best to smile at y/n.

'It's okay. You're alright. Everything is. Nobody's gonna hurt you' she stroked the girl's hair and gently put the strand of it being y/n's ear

That's when Lana noticed a scar on her head - the one about which sister Ann had mentioned. The woman touched the scar with her fingertips and y/n flinched.

'I'm sorry' Lana moved back 'I didn't mean to scare you. I… you don't need to be scared anymore, okay? I won't let anyone hurt you' she smiled when the girl nodded

'Let's pack your things up, shall we?'

The child jumped off of the bed and began to gather her things. It didn't take them long, as the girl didn't have too much stuff.

'Come on. Let's go home' Lana took y/n's suitcase and took the girl's hand

They're going down the stairs when sister Ann approached them.

'Ms Winters, there are quite a lot of things that you need to see and ready and…'

'Tomorrow' the journalist cut her off ' I'll see everything tomorrow. For now I need to take my daughter' she looked at y/n 'Home'

The nun didn't even try to voice an objection knowing that it's impossible to outtalk Lana Winters.

'Alright. But make sure you're here tomorrow as early as possible. We don't want any troubles, do we?'

'Of course. Thank you, sister' Lana said

'And you my dear' the elder woman addressed the kid 'Be a good girl' she stroked y/n's hair 'May God keep you in his care'

Let me know what you think

[just-themys]

I'd love to hear what you think about Mia and Diego's relationship 😊

Thank you my anonymous enabler

*cracks fingers* 

I should probably preface this by saying I’m not even an active miego shipper. But I hate seeing people mischaracterizing characters to fit their narrative, especially when ignoring canon elements. I also should add that I’m sorry if the pics are blurry/small, I had to find a work around because I struggled to upload them.

The big thing I’ve seen around is the idea that Mia’s and Diego’s relationship was somehow abusive, that Mia didn’t actually like Diego, and/or that Diego/Godot only liked the idea of her. The thing is that we have no canon basis for this. I’ll try to keep it short (mostly because I need to replay the game for more things, and that the Diego/Godot part would be too long). Basically I’m going to focus on Mia.

We have no canon basis to pretend she didn’t like him. I mean, she did decided to face her trauma from her first trial to get a chance to avenge what happened to Diego and frame the person who poisoned him. Even Grossberg says it, “Oh, now I understand why you asked to take this case.”

Remember how she punches Grossberg each time Feenie mentions how much he loves Dahlia ? We fandom often jokes about it, saying she just finds him embarrassing and sickenly sweet, but she didn’t react that way when Larry would do the same in 1-1. No, the reason she does it is probably out of rage and grief. I mean, Diego’s poisoning was only 8 months old. She was robbed of what Feenie (thought he) had with Dahlia, and couldn’t bear seeing him brag about how much in love he is and how happy he is with her (and on top of that, with the very person who took Diego away from her).

Mia was mad, and hurt by what happened to Diego, and being able to get Dahlia convicted was a huge step into helping her moving on. 

This is a first step to explain why she “barely acknowledged him in T&T” (the main argument of the anti-miego), because she already moved on. The other explanation might just be that of storage room. T&T is one of the longest game (originally planned for GBA), and they had already used a lot of tricks to take less space, taking this occasion to enter a new judge, and a very intricate plot running through the whole game. They most likely didn’t have time to give to their past relationship, based on all the hints we have. Just see how the anime is adding little bits about their relationship, and how many official art feature them happily together

Speaking of which, let’s review Mia’s attitude toward Diego/Godot in official art:

Mia’s attitude is relaxed, she’s often smiling, looking at him, standing/sitting close to him and being in interaction with him (drinking coffee, talking, etc.) Does she really give off vibes of being unhappy with him or wanting to fly the interaction ? not really. 

And even less on that one art 

Where she looks playful, takes his arm and is here without having even been channeled.

These last pics bring me to talk about Diego’s attitude toward Mia (outside the cute coffee sharing). A big argument I see against Diego is that he supposedly belittles her and doesn’t think she can do things on her own/is overprotective to a unhealthy/sexist extend. I say this is bullshit, and all my following argument is going to be summarized in this collage (original post courtesy of @draincyanide , hope you don’t mind me tagging you here)

Wow, really belittling (especially from a senior attorney to a rookie on her first trial). I know this impression also comes from the “kitten” nickname, but really, Diego/Godot calls “kitten” anyone he finds is a position of being more weak/young/in need of protection, whatever the gender (see, Ron DeLite, and Miles in the Official Casebook Volume 2 when Miles ends up trapped in a kid’s body). Does it mean he thinks she can’t do it ? no. It’s just how she is, at the beginning of her first trial. She’s in need of a little kick to assert herself, and it’s exactly what he does by often teasing/roasting her. He does such things as to make an objection and let her explain it, or underline her situation to push her to find a way to turn things around. He’s not trying to roast her for the likes of it, or to maintain her under his “protection”. On the contrary, he’s assisting her in her first trial, and pushing her to assert herself, be confident and eventually fly on her own. He’s acting as a mentor. And he doesn’t bat an eye either when she calls him out on his coffee addiction and talk back (I get the feeling their relation would have a lot of mutual roasting). He’s actually pushing her out of her comfort zone so she can be more independent and fend for herself.

Also, her famous sentence of “It’s in the harder times that a lawyer must put on their bigger smile” is directly inspired by Diego’s “The only time a lawyer can cry is when it’s all over”. Diego positively influenced her and her career.

To finish, I’d like to put some words on what is, to me, the chore of the issue: before T&T, many people headcannoned Mia as a lesbian and shipped her with Lana. No issue with it. But for  some reasons, people couldn’t get behind the idea that she could be *gasp* bi, and that she could have been in a happy relationship with Diego. But I will tell you: you can ship this while acknowledging that Mia could be bi in canon, without making her past relationship abusive.

Just because a relationship ended doesn’t mean it was abusive. There’s plenty other reasons for a relationship to end, and in this case, a coma with very little chance of waking up from it is a pretty good reason. You even have the basis for a hurt/comfort scenario with Lana supporting Mia through this hardship, without changing one bit from the canon. Why try to frame Diego as an abuser to justify your ship ? you don’t need to.

Trying to vilify this relationship in that type narrative is not as progressive as it might sound. It actually participates into a scheme of shaming bi women’s m/w relationships. But I’ll tell you a secret: if you don’t support bi women no matter the gender of their partner, you’re not supporting bi women at all. Supporting them only when they’re with girls means you only accept half of their identity, and it shows in your vain attempt to vilify Mia’s past m/w relationship when you have no need for it to ship her with a girl.

Secondly, it also participates into the narrative of the “chosen” sexuality. As much appealing as it sounds, making women “turn lesbians” because of disappointing or hurtful past relationships with men perpetuates the idea that sexual orientation is a choice, and that if gay people are being bullied, in a way, they chose it (and that gives ground to the straight people’s idea that this can be “fixed back” by meeting the proper person who will turn them back straight).

You know what could be truly progressive, if you really can’t fathom the idea of Mia being bi ? Mia realizing she’s actually not attracted to men and breaking up with Diego after this. And I’ll tell you one more secret: you don’t even have to make Diego be an asshole in this situation. Try it, it’ll save you a lot of energy.

tl;dr There is actually more grounds to defend the idea that Mia and Diego were a happy couple than to assert that they were abusive/didn’t really like each other. I believe that shipping bias and character preferences play a big role in this negative, but you can totally ship your wIw ship while following canon (and even in canon-divergent AUs) without having to make this relationship abusive. Also, support bi girls.

My Review

SummerSlam 2016 is one long ass show. I’m aware that’s a bit of a redundant statement because, in the age of the WWE Network, every show is long and, more often than not, they’re also ass. However, the point still stands: this show is a whopping 4 hours and it’s not something you can digest in one sitting on a rewatch. For the record, I totally support making the SummerSlams and Survivor Series and so on seem just as big and important as WrestleMania. It’s fine by me for WWE’s Big 4 to feature absolutely stacked cards. Unfortunately, in modern WWE, this approach also results in the shows running out of gas midway through and some of the matches going on way longer than they should. The 2016 edition of the summer classic isn’t exactly the worst example of this trend, but it definitely shows similar signs of fatigue.

On top of that, it’s such a heel-dominated show. It’s only occasionally satisfying. In their crusade to make the audience finally embrace Roman Reigns, the WWE would pile on the heel victories in hopes the crowd would pop like crazy once the Big Dog got the W in the main event. It’s inherently flawed psychology to think the crowd is just going to accept a long-awaited face win from just anybody. That can really only work in a particular situation. Needless to say, it often failed because while Roman would get the W, the crowd still hated him. Worse here is that he doesn’t even wrestle on this show. So who was this booking supposed to benefit? I guess you could make the argument for Finn Balor, whose Universal title win remains a highlight of his WWE tenure. Even then, it was rendered irrelevant 24 hours later, as Balor would vacate the title due to injury.

With all that in mind, it shouldn’t be surprising that such a heel-heavy show ends on a rather depressing note. Brock Lesnar pummels Randy Orton into a bloody mess and that’s it. That’s the show. Fade to black. It would’ve been fine if placed somewhere in the middle of the card, but it’s such an awkward way to close up shop. They did have a pretty workable story going into the match, and I’m not gonna pass up the rare occasion to see Orton get beaten into oblivion, but talk about deflating. The whole thing winds up looking like a pale imitation of Lesnar’s squash of John Cena back at SummerSlam 2014. Oh, and there’s some drama with Shane McMahon at the end because, as we all know, that’s exactly what the WWE needs: more McMahon family drama!

The far more successful dream match is John Cena vs AJ Styles. Truly something special. It’s essentially the same finishing move and near-fall spam fest that plagues every major WWE main event, but I don’t mind it here. This is meant to be an epic blockbuster between two of the biggest stars in wrestling of the post-Monday Night War era. It makes perfect sense for both guys to throw all of their deadliest ammunition at each other right out of the gate. Styles was in the midst of one of the hottest stretches of his career at this point, but Cena deserves just as much credit here. It’s kind of amazing. For all the times he’s proven that he can rise to the occasion in a big match situation, there are still anti-Cena bros to this day who’ll deny it every step of the way. His record of putting people over isn’t perfect, especially at SummerSlam, but what he does for AJ here is pretty selfless. I don’t think even his haters can deny that.

Overall, SummerSlam 2016 isn’t a bad show by any means but, again, the length ensures it will inevitably start to drag. A shame, because there’s probably a pretty good show somewhere in here. It’s nice that the WWE is trying to make the biggest party of the summer feel important, but too much partying can make even the most diehard fan eventually feel pooped. 

My Random Notes

I can only imagine what someone like Jon Stewart really thinks of WWE’s comedy. I mean, he’s probably had plenty of experience doing his best with bad material, but you’d have to think he had to grin and bear it here at several points.

In light of Sasha Banks’ recent spat with the company, I can really see why she’d be frustrated with her booking. Would it have killed them to have her hold the Women’s title for longer than a month? I know an injury is cited as the official reason she dropped the belt here, but it’s still the first of several instances of them yanking the rug out from under her.

Man, Enzo and Cass were so frickin’ over. They’re such laughing stocks now that it’s quickly become lost to time how much the fans were digging them. Of course, they only have themselves to blame for fucking it all up, but they really did have something special there for a bit. 

Dean Ambrose in his black torn shirt gives me some serious Bobby Heenan singlet vibes.

Funny how the pre-match hype package for Dean vs. Dolph centers so much around who Dolph Ziggler is because, as I’ve stated here previously, I still have no frickin’ idea who Dolph is supposed to be. He’s some anonymous hybrid of HBK, Mr. Perfect, Billy Gunn, and an ‘80s Trapper Keeper with literally no individuality. I find it ironic that he later got into a storyline where he kept changing gimmicks only to never find anything of his own. What a summary of his entire WWE career.

Hey, Balor may have had to surrender the title 24 hours later, but at least this meant him getting another run with the belt in the future, right? Right?!?

Man, Nikki Bella was so frickin’ over. Why does it feel like I’m repeating myself? In all seriousness though, people can hate on the Bellas all they want, but in no way should it be surprising that they still get big pops. They’ve done more for WWE’s mainstream visibility than a lot of other superstars allegedly have.

Speaking of Nikki, crazy to think that she’s only one in the six-woman tag to not hold the Smackdown Women’s title.

I can’t be the only one who felt a little kick to gut when they showed fans waiting outside the now-deceased Toys R Us. I don’t need another reminder that my childhood is dead.

When did Lana drop the accent? I don’t watch Raw and Smackdown weekly anymore, but it horrifies me to know I let this travesty pass me by.

I know some people were upset they allowed The New Day to surpass Demolition’s record for the longest reign as tag champs but I’m totally okay with the decision. Sure, they occasionally get into terrible storylines like this ringpostitis shit, but they’re incredibly over, sell a ton of merchandise, and can wring out some entertainment from even the worst material. If they really wanted to insult Demolition, they should’ve given that honor to The Ascension.

How it ends...

Hey guys, sorry it took so long to get this to you. I’ve had zero creative drive lately. But yesterday and today, it just flowed. Originally, LAR was going to go on for years with a wedding and kiddos and junk. But after the breakup with my ex, this is how I rewrote it. It’s mostly just an overview, with some more specific scenes in there that I’d already written. Anyway, this is the rewrite I did…

TL;DR- The end.

 The act five side story was going to be a shortened version of act zero. Originally, it was planned to be a whole act following Jaska from leaving Nix Velox (his village), through to the beginning of act one when they were thrown onto the boat. It would cover his journey south, meeting Catlin, his transformation, and the torture he was put through while waiting for the ship that would take them to Paello Isle. Instead, I shortened it down to a 7 page side story.

  Here is the overview:

 Child Jaska

Chases hawk

Uses powers

Sees through the hawk’s eyes

A little older

Watches father skin an animal

Asks why they kill animals

Teen Jaska

Thanking recent kill for its sacrifice so that his people may live

Journey to Vinea

Joking with companions

Teasing his little brother

Saving Yannick from the bear

The change

Jaska wakes from his dream

  Over the course of the next few acts, Jaska would run into Torin more frequently, even to the point of meeting her wife. When he is out with Tonya and they meet up, Tonya gets easily angry and jealous of how flustered both Torin and Jaska are around each other.

  Torin on the Bridge

Cast: T=Torin; W=Wife

T- -waiting on a footbridge in the park, staring down at water; thinks about Jaska; flashes back to dreams; grips her hair- Get over it, Tor! It was just a stupid dream! W- What about? T- Oh, nothing. Just a nightmare. Been bugging me all day. W- Wanna talk about it? T- No, I’m fine. W- -frowns-

  One day, when out with Presley and Summer, Jaska runs into Torin and Summer invites her to their next dinner party.

At the party, it is obvious that Torin’s wife is not well. She seems extremely tired and Torin takes her home early, but she is pleasant to be around.

 Jaska gets on well with Lana and Brandon at his new job. Brandon (being in a wheelchair) mans the monitors while Jaska and Lana do rounds. With absolutely NOTHING happening on the night shift, the pair get up to mischief. Here are a few examples:

L=Lana J=Jaska B=Brandon

  The Race

L- -standing in doorway of security office- Bran, tell us who passes the door first. B- K… -Jaska and Lana take off running- -speedwalk thru science lab as not to break anything- -Jaska runs thru basement; Lana noes the fuck out- J- Hey! That’s cheating!! L- -on stairs; jumps banister, cuts J off- Twelve years of gymnastics, bitch! -both run past security office door; walk back panting- L- So, who one? B- Unlike you two, I was working. -J and L stare at monitors for a moment- L- There is literally NOTHING happening! You couldn’t have looked away for two seconds? B- Nope L- -throws hands in the air; walks away-

  The Basement

B- -into radio- Hey, need one of you to check the basement. Something fell over. L- -thru radio- Not it! J- -thru radio- Okay, I’ll do it. J- -enters basement, looks around, comes to a set of doors chained and locked; shines light on doors, illuminating the words painted on them in red- Don’t dead… Open inside… That makes no sense. -over radio- Hey, what’s up with the writing on the doors? L- Oh… that’s… don’t worry about that. That’s just the furnace room. Charlie, the last night guard, he did that. Big zombie movie fan. J- -thought bubble- The fuck’s a zombie? B- Keep going, over by the old computer stuff. J- -stares at door for another moment, then continues on. Finds downed item. Nothing else is out of place, no one else in basement-

  Brandon warns Lana about flirting too much (in her own way) with Jaska. She denies it, then admits that she is flirting, but it’s just harmless fun and that she doesn’t like him like that.

 Catlin goes through a string of jobs, not making it past the training period.

 Both Tonya and Arthur express jealousy and suspicion regularly about Catlin and Jaska living together. Neither are pleased that Jaska is supporting her. Arthur never offers to help.

 Between Jaska’s protective nature around Catlin and how flustered he gets around Torin, she ends things with Jaska.

 One evening, Jaska and Catlin are hanging out on the fire escape and Jaska kisses Catlin. Unbeknownst to them, Arthur is on the street below and sees them. Arthur gives her multiple openings to tell him what happened, but she acts oblivious.

 Arthur gets a job offer back in his hometown. He invites her out to dinner, but keeps hesitating all night. The following morning, he finally tells her about the job, then invites her to go with him, then he offers a ring.

 Catlin is stunned. She doesn’t know what to think and at 19, she definitely isn’t ready. She doesn’t want to leave her friends. Arthur accuses her of being in love with Jaska, of seeing her on the balcony with him. Finally, he tells her to get her stuff and get out and he storms out of the apartment.

 Catlin gathers her things, leaves her key with the doorman and goes home.

 Jaska returns home from work to find a note from Catlin saying that she needs time to figure things out. Her room is empty, but for the furniture. [/end act]

 The next side story opens with Catlin waking up in bed with Gypsy. What was supposed to be a few nights on the couch that turned into a one-night rebound turns into a full-blown relationship. Catlin falls for Gypsy hard and Gypsy adores her.

When a job opening comes up at the coffee shop, Gypsy recommends Catlin to her boss, but like all the jobs before, it doesn’t go well.

 One day, Jake (rabbit) asks Summer how Catlin is doing and she says “Last I heard, she hooked up with a girl at the coffee shop.” He furiously blushes at the idea.

Catlin chances to run into Jake in the market. Coffee becomes a regular thing between the two.

 Being single and still very possessive of Catlin, the more Jaska thinks about her out there being happy with another girl, the darker his thoughts get.

 Summer comments that they haven’t seen Torin in a while (with a joke in there about how she can never remember Torin’s wife’s name – hint: she is never given a name).

 At Gypsy’s urging, and an invitation from Summer, Catlin and Gypsy attend a dinner party. The evening goes well, everyone enjoys Gypsy and Catlin is encouraged to spend more time around her friends again.

 Exposed to this new version of Catlin, Jaska doesn’t like who she is becoming. He confronts her about her behaviour.

 A season goes by.

  The Breakup

Cast: G=Gypsy, C=Catlin

G- I love you and I know you love me but I think there’s someone else. C- What? No! Of course not! G- Sweetie, it’s the same person it’s been since day one. You just need to see that. C- So… you’re breaking up with me? G- Yes. I love you so much, but I’m not the one. I’m just your rebound. Now you need to figure out for yourself who it is and go get them.

Catlin goes to Summer and Presley with all her stuff.

  Winnie tells Catlin of an opening at the library. Catlin imagines that scene that takes place in every movie with a library where the bookshelves domino, but she’s trained to reshelve books and run the front desk. It’s not enough to afford her own place, but it’s enough to live off of. She moves back in with Winnie.

 Two more seasons pass. Shows Jaska and Catlin in everyday life.

  Jaska and Torin

Cast: J=Jaska, T=Torin Jaska has a prophetic dream, wakes up confused, looking at the empty space beside him. Gets up, throws on clothes, runs out into the rain. Finds Torin standing on the other side of a bridge railing. J- Torin! T- Just go away! J- No! What the hell are you doing? T- I can’t do this. She’s gone. I can’t… J- What? T- She’s dead! J- Torin, don’t do this! What about everyone else? Everyone you’ll leave behind? Don’t you know how much that will hurt them? T- I don’t care. None of that matters. J- What about me? T- -looks at him- J- If you do this, do you have any idea what that would do to me? I know it hurts. It will never stop hurting. You’ll always miss her, and you don’t feel like it now, but you will learn how to live without her. You’ll get stronger everyday so it will hurt a little less. Torin, please. You are so important to me. T- -lets go of the railing to cover her face and cry- J- -grabs her and lifts her over the railing to safety-   Jaska sits with Torin through the night until she falls asleep, carries her to Catlin’s old room

T- -wakes, goes to Jaska’s room- J- -wakes at the sound of the door- T- Sorry, I’m gonna… J- -pulls back the covers- Come on. T- -sniffs, hurries to the bed and climbs in, falls asleep cuddled up with him-

J- -wakes to find Torin watching him- Hey… T- Hey. You must think I’m crazy. J- No, I think you’re hurting. When my mother died, I was lost. My father didn’t know how to help. He had my little brother and a new baby to see to. He didn’t know how to help me. Mom was the only one who understood me and life without her was impossible, but I got wrapped up in helping my dad and learning my trade and one day I realized… it didn’t hurt like it used to.

T- -strokes his cheek, kisses him- J- Torin… I don’t think… T- -climbs on top of him- You’re important to me too.

  Things begin to wind down at this point between characters.

  The End

Cast: C=Catlin, J=Jake Cy=Cyrus (SOL), R=Romy (SOL)

Catlin walking through the market. Sees Jaska with Torin out shopping. Sighs. Bumps shoulders with Cyrus. Cy- Oh, sorry. C- -watches him go- R- Hey, are we going to the Valkyrie tonight? Cy- Still hoping to figure out what that was in the shark head?

Catlin continues to the cafe. C- -mumbles- He’ll be in a pink shirt… pink shirt… -sees Jake in a pink shirt- J- -spots her, straightens- C- Jake, you’re not… -blush- J- -sigh- Damn Summer and her meddling. C- -sits- Yea, but this time, I don’t mind so much. J- Yea… yea. Maybe she got it right this time. -turns to waitress to order-

For the Want of a Nail

Why did someone have to go and invent fingerless gloves?

When I’d originally decided on what I would do this week, it seemed pretty innocuous. After all, I didn’t have make any prior arrangements or worry about people bailing on me. Women all around the world did it everyday and none of them experienced any consternation about the process. Not to mention it was always something I kind of wanted to do. Painting your nails was just another avenue of self-expression and I was certainly down with that. I’d pierced my ear, shaved my head, tattooed my skin, worn colour contacts and experimented with facial hair. I’d been to Pride. I’d visited drag bars on at least three separate occasions. I was hardly the embodiment of raw, beer-swilling masculinity.

So how did I now find myself hands-deep in coat pockets, shuffling around public transport in my very own metaphorical straightjacket?

It’s not like I hadn’t anticipated that I might get cold feet/hands. So naturally, I planned a contingency. Worst came to worst- if the glares and comments from strangers were too much to bear- I could throw on my gloves and no one would be any wiser that I was wearing a full coat of Silver Moonlight underneath. It was still early spring. Gloves were still a thing. My plan seemed equally foolproof as I darted out the door this morning, a pair of winter gloves balled up in my bag. It is only as I board the tram and the first pair of commuter eyeballs strike me that I remember. Fingerless gloves. I always wear fingerless gloves. Crap.

I take a seat on the relatively empty tram. No one else really seems to care about my nails, thankfully. It suddenly occurs to me that I’m living in Melbourne, my apartment a mere 10 minutes out of the city. This was supposed to be the mecca of alternative hipsterdom. What on Earth was I afraid of? Just as the thought starts to take hold in my mind, I spy a pair of curious eyes trained on my nails. They belong to a middle-aged woman in a black down jacket, her brows quizzically furrowed. Ah yes, that’s what I’m afraid of. Even though her eyes have now relocated, the damage is done. I’m already doubting my immersion idea and I don’t even have any gloves as a security blanket. My silver, glitter-encrusted fingers retreat into my pockets.

The significance of keeping my nails hidden gnaws at the back of my mind. I remember that first Caitlyn Jenner interview with Diane Sawyer, where Caitlyn revealed that she used to paint her toenails and keep them concealed. The first episode of her docuseries, where the camera would often linger on her painted magenta nails in a way uncharacteristic of talking heads: a symbol of how far she’d come. It occurs to me how much meaning painted nails have and just how much of a self-representation they are.

Suddenly my nails feel off, like I’m hijacking something important that’s not mine. Even as I reassure myself that I’m doing this in good spirits, I can’t shake the feeling that this is more of a dare than an experience, akin to a bloke wearing a bra to a buck’s night. A thousand questions spin around in my mind as the tram shudders to a halt at my stop. The doors open, unleashing an exodus of the now crowded tramcar onto the street. Unlike on my other commutes, I take in every pair of painted nails I see. There’s French tips and nail art and stiletto nails that would make Lana Del Rey proud.

And then it finally hits me, the reason why they’re wearing their nails proudly and I’m not. Their nails are a reflection of them. Mine aren’t. I’d chosen mine for shock value. Someone else had painted them for me.

If I’m going to wear nail polish, I need to wear the nail polish I would wear.

Back when cracked nails were all the rage, I remember hounding my sister about how awesome she’d look wearing them. In hindsight, me playing backseat beautician was probably my not-so-veiled way of saying how much I wanted to wear them instead. To me, cracked nails were the cosmetic equivalent of those little porridge eggs that magically turned into dinosaurs when you added milk: a harmless and fun novelty. Yet, it had never actually occurred to me in my 14-year-old mind that I’d ever be in the position to wear them and get away with it.

Now that I’m actually invested in the process of painting my nails, it occurs to me that I don’t even know where to begin. I’d always seen sections for them at pharmacies but I can’t imagine a pharmacy having a particularly large selection. I finally settle on the idea of Big W. I know they have a cosmetics section and if anywhere would have a great, affordable selection of nail polish, it would be a giant department store.

The cosmetics section of Big W is divided into five or six stations, each for a different major brand. I stand there overwhelmed. How had I not already decided on the brand I was going to buy beforeshowing up? I inconspicuously file down the aisle, giving each section the Goldilocks treatment. Maybelline- too expensive. Garnier- not enough range. L’Oreal- don’t they test on animals or something? Revlon… this could do it. A large display of wholesome and diverse colours spans out in front of me- it’s a nail polish display that takes up at least a third of its section and has at least three separate categories. The prices? 14 dollars each, apparently. I bite down a wave of stinginess. It’s an investment, Jeremy, it’s an investment.

The freedom feels maddening, like I’m a child picking out face paint at a strip mall. It’s a curious question to ask myself: what colour do I love enough to literally paint myself with? It has to be blue, I think instinctively. Ice blue, specifically. My eyes immediately begin skimming the shelf in search of it. I’m fascinated with how something as simple as this, as mundane as this, is already filling me up with glee. I’m going to get to look at my favourite colour all the time.  I’m wondering how arbitrary it is, that something this hedonistic is limited to one gender, when-

There.

A greyish, slate blue. Not too bright, not too dark and just matte enough. If you could bottle an overcast day at the beach, this would be it. As I turn the tiny glass bottle over in hands my mind flashes back to that episode of Lizzie McGuire where Miranda gets arrested for shoplifting. Self-consciousness in over-drive, I grab a shopping basket from the pile near the entrance and dump a few non-descript items in it. Good. Now at least if I look questionable, I’ll look law-abiding and questionable. I go back to the Revlon aisle, basket in tow. The blue alone isn’t quite enough. It’s too plain and straightforward, so I add a standard black bottle to the mix. Perfect.

Half the battle won, I turn around to pay at the makeup counter like the sign had directed me to. Except- I can’t find the makeup counter. Yep. As I pace through the Pac-Man maze that is Big W cosmetics, the vital “cosmetics counter” only becomes more elusive. After nearly two straight minutes of attracting the subtle attention of onlookers, I manage to locate an abandoned money till shrouded by a pile of boxes. Wait, so there’s no cosmetics counter? But the sign explicitly said that I needed to come here to pay for cosmetic products.

“There’s no cosmetics counter” chimes a grinning 20-something girl with dip-died hair, apparently sensing my confusion. “Just ignore the signs”.

I hushedly thank her, still taken aback at the sudden interjection.

“Oh and- nice choices” she adds encouragingly as I carry my basket over to the register.

I feel half-embarrassed, half-assured as I pay for my things. On one hand I’d come off looking like a complete novice, which is never a nice feeling. But on the other, I’d just found encouragement where I’d expected judgement. Maybe, this whole time, I’d been getting myself worked up over nothing.

I click open the first nail painting tutorial that comes up on YouTube. The perky voice in the video tells me that I need to start off with a base coat. I borrow a bottle of my mom’s that apparently doubles as a topcoat as well. This is starting to feel more like a game of Jenga than a beauty ritual. How many layers will I need to put on? Trusting the chirpy voice, I proceed to paint on a layer of base coat, followed by two layers of each respective colour on every other nail, and finish up with topcoat. After about 10 minutes of waiting, curiosity gets the cat- and the “cat” trawls straight through the wet cement I’d spent half an hour applying. Yep, my nails are still wet.

A further 30 minutes later, I sit back and admire the final result. It’s pretty sloppy. The colour flows out of and around my nails, swallowing up my cuticles.  My lack of patience is embroidered on every nail in the form of various fingerprints, indentations and scratches. Each surface undulates and ripples as if it were hand-painted by a tiny Jackson Pollock. If my nails were a colouring book, I’d have drawn quite decidedly outside of the lines. Yet, somehow, I love them. For the first time I’m actually grateful for this experience, for giving me the running jump I needed to get out of my comfort zone.

My following week wearing the 2.0 version of my nails is surprisingly enjoyable. The excess polish on my skin even moults off after a couple of showers, much like arthropod assuming its final form. Despite this, the rest of the polish somehow remains intact. Nail polish: 1, Entropy: 0.

Walking into my first lecture of that week with my nails on full display, I feel completely at ease. I stroll in- comfortably on time for once- along with everyone else and spot not even one pair of pupils aimed at my nails. How about the guy sitting next to me, sporting a magnificent mane of thick brown hair? Nope, he’s scrolling through Facebook on his laptop. It’s at this point that I realize that I myself hadn’t stopped to gawk at his long hair. Here we both are, defying gender norms in our own understated ways, and neither one of us could care less. Pulling my laptop out of my bag, I let my hands roam free. Be they clacking on the keyboard or resting inquiringly on my chin, my fingertips are out and staying out. It’s not exactly “woman wears pants in the 50s” but it feels cool to be a pioneer in my own miniscule way.

By the end of the week, I realize that I’ve pretty much dropped the guise of an immersion essay entirely. When people ask why I’m wearing nail polish, I tell them it’s because I want to: that’s not untrue, after all. The last day of my week comes and I finally receive a question from a friend that I’ve been putting off asking myself.

“So now that your assignment is done are you…is that it for the nails or…?”

I stop and think for a moment about the prospect of parting with my slate-blue companions.

One might be interested to know that slate, in addition to being a shade of blue, is also a low-grade metamorphic rock. What this means is that, despite its hardy appearance, slate is one of the finest-grained rocks around. In fact, a well-placed knock is enough to split apart its surface entirely. However, far from rendering it useless, this fragility uncovers a vast array of layers hidden beneath its surface. Slate is a surprising rock- an unconventional and sensitive rock but ultimately, one that is profoundly useful and unique.

“You know what?” I reply. “I think I might hang on to them for a few more days.

[stkambln]

So you get it.

This is a scene I don’t wish to happen in “No Laughing Matter”

I’m sorry, Luan.

………..

-…Because they were too Loud! Ha ha ha ha ha! Get it?!

(everybody groans, except for Lori)

-Wow, you really didn’t get it? You see, it’s, why did the comedian fe-

-Yes. Luan. I get it… Just like… the last six times this morning. Just like yesterday. And the day before it. And every single day before that one! Yes! For Pete’s sake, Luan! I get it!!

-…uh…well…

-Hey Lori, take it eas-

-What I don’t get is why you keep doing this! Because, I’m sorry but, FYI Luan! It’s not funny anymore! It is literally f***ing annoying!!!

-……

-Dude!!

-And you know what? I don’t know it it was ever funny at all! If I ever laughed with your puns in the past, now I can’t understand why I did it. Because really, since you started with this little act of yours, what, seven or eight friggin years ago? It has been irritating as hell!!

(somebody just remembered to cover Lola’s and Lana’s ears)

-Irritating as… a h-high heel???

-Lori, I can detect very high levels of accumulated stress in your voice and body languge. Based on your behavior, I recommend you cease your complaints befo-

- Lisa, really… your scientific junk… I don’t need it right now!!

(the girl with the glasses comes to the conclusion that she prefers not to start a discussion with her sister  – Lori turns back to the girl with the braces)

-Look, Luan…… it’s not just me, ok?! We ALL have put up with your jokes and your laughing at yourself… and this April Fools nonsense! Only because you were… going through some phase or whatever! But this has lasted way too much! And maybe you can get those little kids to laugh at you for an hour, but we are sick of dealing with this crap the whole day!!! I mean…

-Lori! Stop!

(she can finally groan)

- UGHHHHHHHH!!! I mean, you really don’t realize it?! Can’t you see it?! Can’t you literally HEAR us when you just let those stupid words leave your mouth?!! Damn it, Luan!! IT’S. NOT. FUNNY!!!

-Lori, please calm down! You’re taking this too far!

-NO!!!

(she turns her attention now to the white-haired boy)

-I’m sorry, bro!! I know we said we would bear with it and talk this with her with love and patience, but I just can’t take it anymore! And she just can’t keep this up either! And I know I should be the more mature and more tolerant here, but maybe it’s just because I am the oldest that I have to be the one who breaks it to her! Like it really is!! She’s not a kid anymore! She needs to stop now or she’s gonna become just a big joke to everybody!

-Lori!!

-You know it! We all know it! We have discussed this long enough. She’s already in high school! They have no mercy, and they are gonna eat her alive with her dumb flowers and all!!

-LORI!!!

-You guys think the same way! You know I’m right! Enough is enough! We have to stop pretending just because of her feelings! Right now! She’s lucky to have us here to tell her the truth! Because out there, they’re not gonna give a damn about it, and they’re just gonna target her and use her as their own personal stupid clown! So we better burst her little ignorance bubble now, before she hits the damn wall!!

-BLOODY HELL!!! LORI!!

-What?! WHAAT?!!!

(she just keeps staring angrily at Luna until she hears sniffling behind her, and then there’s sobbing, from somebody she knows very well - Lori instinctively turns around and is paralyzed by what she sees - her heart breaks with the sight of Luan’s huge glassy eyes, streams of tears running down her face, falling right on Mr. Coconuts, who has landed on the floor, after Luan’s arms let him go, and now they just hang loosely at the sides of her trembling body)

-…………………..

(Lori remains petrified - what she sees is a seven or six year old little girl in front of her, who looks like she has just been painfully hurt somehow - then, she suddenly sees her fourteen year old little sister looking at her own eyes, in pain, and every single word she just spit out comes back to her mind - her eyes become wide, her throat becomes stone, and the wetness starts to affect her vision)

-…………………..

(no words at all for who knows how much time, nobody seems to be capable of closing their mouths or any other movement, except for Leni’s eyelids which can’t stop blinking - only the gasps and sniffles that escape from Luan’s body)

-……ghh….ghh……….

(and then, she can speak again)

-h…hhh….. … L….. L-Lu… Luan………. I… hhh….. Th-that was….. t-that w-was not………

-I s  t h a t  s o ?

(it’s not even a voice, it’s like the very slow whisper… of a cry of pain - the sound of Luan’s words smashes the pieces of Lori’s broken heart - killing her voice)

-…I s… w h a t….. i s…. t h a t… w h a t…. what you… a-all… t h i n k?

-No, love!! Lori was just-

-Is… is it true? That’s why you… are always… groaning… when I… … do I really annoy you… that… much?

(Luna opens her mouth again, but she can’t answer that question with the confidence she had until now - she can’t say what she was completely sure of one second ago - she painfully escapes from Luan’s red eyes - her voice dies, and with it, so does everybody else’s)

-So… you all… think the same…

-…………………

-Well then… …I…….. I won’t bother you anymore….

-………..

-…I will just…..

(she quickly turns around to the stairs behind her, and before anyone knows, she runs up them - Lincoln manages to beat his own tears for an instant)

-L-LUAN!!!

(she stops at the end of the steps - from up there, she slowly turns around, her eyes to the ground)

-…It… it’s… …. it’s okay…. …. I………. I get it..

(Lily lets out a single cry that freaks out Lucy, who almost drops her - the baby raises her arms and babbles something unintelligible to the girl on top of the stairs - Luan’s sight rises, and her eyes start to sparkle again)

She smiles with only half the mouth at her baby sis, and before she can no longer speak, she says:

- …Thank you… for your honesty…. …. you have been sincere enough… now I’m going to my room… I’ll be there all week.

She closes her eyes, and walks straight and slowly to her bedroom. She can’t believe her brain just made one final attempt at funny wordplay. Her mind asks her two little words.

She doesn’t find it funny.

Again, a long time passes since a door closes upstairs until one of them decides to execute any action. When somebody moves, it is Lori, heading to the stairs. She takes two steps before Luna’s arm is in front of her, preventing her from advancing more. They exchange looks. Luna’s eyes are filled with as much sorrow as her older sister’s.

-No… no… …. you’ve done enough already.

Lori doesn’t protest in any way.

-What… …. then what are you… what do we… do now, Luna?

The younger one lowers her arm,and keeps looking at her for a moment, until her eyes turn from sad ones, to severe and even angry ones… and then they fill again with pain and tears.

A sudden smacking sound makes the rest of the siblings gasp, as Luna’s hand hits Lori’s rosy face incredibly fast. One of her cheeks becomes red quickly. Lori’s head is turned to one side, and there it stays.

-You go with Leni… put something cold on that… … then come to the living room… we’ll… see what we can do…. You too, Lynn… bro, you’re coming too.

She turns out to the rest.

-Guys, let’s all calm down a bit, okay? I want you all to go to Lisa’s and Lily’s room and stay there until mom and dad come back… we are gonna… let Luan be alone for a while. Don’t bother her, okay?

Lori listens to all, with her head still in the same position Luna’s slap left it in.

Luna lowers her eyes and sees Mr. Coconuts on the ground.

-…Then… later… one of us will go to check on her.

She bends down and picks up the dummy. She keeps her eyes fixed on it.

-Go now, please

All the younger sisters start to walk up the stairs, really not wanting to do it. The last one to abandon the room is Lisa.

-I tried to warn you. All this couldn’t end in nothing less than an unpleasant display of emotions.

She climbs up the stairs.

-Having my room filled with sisters was unexpected, however.

When they all disappear from the first floor, Lynn and Lincoln look at each other in the eye. Then the boy speaks.

-We… we’ll just wait on the couch for you, guys.

As they leave them, the remaining three older sisters don’t know exactly how to do what they are supposed to do.

Leni finally breaks the silence.

-I’ll go get… some ice… to the kitchen… from the kitchen… I mean… …Lori?

She doesn’t respond, or move.

-Yeah… go Leni. A cloth in cool water should be enough. Lori’s going in a minute.

She walks by Lori, stops behind her for a second and watches her sister’s figure, but she decides not to say anything else for now, and she goes on.

After a minute of them being alone, Luna lets out a deep sigh. Then, her hand looks for Lori’s. She presses her sister’s hand… until both girls intertwine their fingers.

-Sorry… I didn’t want to… hit you so hard.

Lori finally turns her head a little. She turns a little more, just to let their eyes meet.

Luna immediately knows she also wants to say she’s sorry, but she doesn’t seem to have the strength to do it. She wants to smile at her big sister but she doubts it would be of any help.

-Come on… go with Leni.

Luna turns to the living room, preparing for the challenge she has to face. She walks, but before leaving Lori on her own, she stops for a second.

-You know… the worst thing is…… is that you are probably right.

glasses [ ab x r ]

fandom : Dear Evan Hansen

 by :  Summer

pairing : Alana Beck x Reader

summary : In which you are there for Alana the day she got her glasses.

 word count : 1738

warnings : cussing, ooc writing,,, ugh sorry.., mentions of sexual content (ofc bcus jared kinKMAN)

a / n : Sorry, this is a really bad and pointless fluff. I feel so self conscious about this one, like after those last two fics, this is going to be a total let down. eh. I’m begging y’all for more Alana fics, I just love her so much I swear. Any sort of support is sincerely respected: liking, commenting, reblogging, following, anything! Constructive criticism is always appreciated :) Thanks for reading, I love you.

“Alana!” you smiled cheerfully, meeting your girlfriend by her locker.

“Hey!” she pulled you into a quick hug, “What brings you here?”

You feigned offense, “What? I can’t just meet up with the love of my life whenever?”

She rolled her eyes and pressed a soft kiss on your cheek, “Oh, remind me after school I want to tell you about something.”

“Sure thing, you wanna walk back to my place then and we can hang out there?”

“That works perfectly,” she gave you a wide grin.

You took a moment to admire her. Every inch of her long locks of dark hair, coiled in small sections that bounced with her every step. The way she circled her thumb over the metal button of her jacket. How her magenta skirt swirled slightly when she swayed her hips. Her soft, full, kissable lips-

“Look, it’s high school’s gayest couple!”

You turned around to face the voice, “Jared Kleinman.”

“Hi Jared. Hey Evan,” Alana said, as you wrapped an arm over her shoulders. Evan was peeking over Jared’s shoulder from behind.

“You guys are so cute, it’s fucking gross,” Jared faked a gag and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes.

“J-Jared, that wasn’t really-” Evan mumbled before you cut him off.

“Don’t be jealous, Jare-bear,” you teased. He scoffed.

“Please, why would I be jealous?”

“I don’t know…” Alana started, “I’d be pretty jealous too knowing that the most beautiful girl in school was taken,” she looked up adoringly at you.

“Aw, babe, you are the most beautiful girl!” you tapped her nose.

“That’s not what I-” she furrowed her eyebrows.

“I know that you meant-”

“Actual barf,” Jared groaned, “I’m leaving!”

You gave Evan a sympathetic look, “I don’t know how you put up with him, Ev.”

Evan gave a small shrug and pointed behind him, “I’m gonna go, go and catch up with Jared.”

He gave us both a wave before running off. You looked back at Alana and the both of you gave in to a fit of giggles. Then the bell rang.

Class was finally over. You finished all of the homework you could during study hall so you could have the rest of the day open to spending time with Alana. You couldn’t wait to cuddle up on the couch and talk about all the cute plans you both had for the future, or watch a movie, or just take a good nap in each other’s arms. You felt a tap on your shoulder.

Turning around you were greeted with a surprise kiss on the lips by none other than your famously appreciated girlfriend. When she pulled away you felt your face burning red with affection.

“That’s one way to greet your girlfriend,” you stated, “god you’re so cute.”

She beamed up at you with a joyful look and a sparkle in her eye.

“Hey,” she smirked, “maybe we should continue our flirting at home before you know who gets jealous again.”

You let out a loud gasp.

“Not the dark lord himself!” you cried.

“Oh shit,” you whipped around, at the sound of that too familiar voice, “If you guys were summoning the devil, then look no further.”

“Jared, I swear, at this point it feels like you’re stalking us,” you glanced over at Alana who just smiled and shook her head.

“Or maybe,” he paused dramatically, “you two are the ones stalking me,” he used his hands to mimic an explosion while crossing his eyes.

“If you don’t mind Jared, my girlfriend and I would like some time alone to talk about-”

Jared cut you off, “Talk about what? You gonna calculate how many orgasms you can have within two hours?”

Alana flushed red slightly, “No!” she exclaimed.

“Woah, chill out,” Jared raised his hands defensively before gasping, “are you gonna discuss endless drama over a certain Jared Kleinman, who has always been the center of your attention since th-”

“Jared,” you stopped him, “You’re not the only boy in our lives.”

“Yeah,” Alana supported, “there are plenty of other guys in our lives.”

“Really?” he raised his eyebrows, “Name one.”

You scanned the crowd of students, singling out a certain boy in a blue striped shirt.

“Evan!” you called out. Said boy turned around with a facial expression of fear and surprise.

Jared’s face grew warm, “Evan doesn’t-”

“Ooh look,” Alana interrupted, “Jared’s blushing,” she sang.

Letting out another shrill gasp, you beckoned Evan over, “Evan! Jared’s in loooove with you!” you dragged out the ‘o’.

Alana hiding her giggles behind her hand, Jared shot you a deathly glare.

“You two are the worst,” he growled, while running away.

Evan timidly walked over to us.

“W-What’s the, um..,” he stuttered, “Who’s, uh, wh-why is-”

“Just teasing Jared is all,” Alana answered him.

“Oh,” he mumbled, confusion still evident on his face.

“Yeah,” you waved it off, “Well, ‘lana and I are gonna head over to my place. See you tomorrow Evan.”

Alana said her goodbye and you both started your way home, hand in hand.

“and I still had her phone in my hand and Zoe was like-” you were telling your girlfriend about the time you dropped Zoe Murphy’s phone playing bumper cars at the amusement park, until you realized Alana had swayed off to the right of the sidewalk.

You quickly took her by the elbow before she veered into the street.

“Hey, are you alright?” you questioned her, clearly concerned.

“Sorry, I, uh,” she scratched the back of her neck, “I guess my backpack is a little heavy.”

“Aw, babe I’ll carry it for you,” you held out your arm to her.

“No, really, i-it’s fine,” she blushed.

“I wasn’t asking,” you said, slipping her bag off of her shoulders and almost falling over once you registered how heavy it was.

“Woah!” you breathed out, “How many books can one person carry?”

She chuckled.

You and Alana had finally arrived home and you dropped your bags onto the couch. Your shoulders were achy from the weight of both bags, but you didn’t want to admit it and make Alana feel bad. The both of you headed to your bedroom. Laying down in bed, you stared at the glow in the dark stars on your ceiling while Alana was making herself comfortable. You remembered what Alana had told you earlier that morning.

“So what’s so important you have to tell me about?”

“What?” she responded with a yawn, looking a little drowsy.

“Tired?” you asked with a short chuckle, and she nodded, “This morning you told me to remind you that you needed to talk to me about something.”

“Oh, yeah. Well, I guess…,” she paused, “I mean, my vision hasn’t been too great.”

“Well no wonder! You’ve always got your nose in a book and ten more books in your bag,” you flung your arms out to exaggerate your statement.

“Heh,” a small smirk formed its way on Alana’s face, “I’ll still need to get glasses.”

“Wait, is that why you were trailing off the sidewalk?”

She nodded. You propped yourself against your elbows and leaned up.

“Well why didn’t you just say so?” you questioned.

“I wasn’t in the mood to embarrass myself,” she said almost too bluntly.

“What’s so embarrassing about needing glasses? Especially on a pretty face like yours?”

She blushed, “I mean, I guess I’m just scared that everyone’s going to think I look weird or seem like a nerd? What if the lenses make my eyes bulge out? Or what if the frames give me weird tan marks?” And what i-”

“Hey, hey. Slow down,” you placed your arm around her, “there’s nothing unnatural about glasses at all.”

“Well-”

“And I, for one, am more than excited to see how gorgeous my girlfriend is going to look in her glasses.”

She rocked back and forth slightly, grinning.

“It isn’t fair,” she complained.

“What’s not fair?”

“How easily you can make me happy.”

“You do the same for me, babe.”

You both layed flat on the mattress, snuggling closer into each other’s arms. She told you about how she should’ve expected to need glasses soon. Bad vision ran in her family. From there she mentioned some other traits she earned hereditarily, like her double-jointed thumb. Then you both ended up thinking about what mix of both your traits would make the cutest child.

You talked until you fell asleep.

It was Saturday when Alana had texted you, telling you about getting her glasses. You immediately begged her for a picture, but she refused, saying she’d prefer to show you in person.

You were waiting anxiously at the door, waiting for the moment she would knock. You had been staring so intently at the door, it felt as if the walls began closing in. Your eyes burned at the pointless staring contest. Rubbing your eyes, you were caught by surprise at a loud noise.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Scrambling, you bolted forward almost slipping and falling in the process. Turning the door handle, Alana stood there. Your wide smile fell. She wasn’t wearing her glasses.

Inviting her in, you rambled and urged her to finally put on her glasses. She payed no mind to your comments and took a seat on the couch. You sat down next to her, leaning forward, and she whipped out her glasses dramatically.

You excitedly held out your hands to examine them. They had wide lenses in a rounded square shape. The frame was a dark wine red color, fairly thin, and horn rimmed. The ceiling light shone in its reflection. You looked back up at a sheepishly smiling Alana and held up her glasses, slowly pushing the temples of them up over her ears. When they were fully on, you leaned back to admire the masterpiece in front of you.

Alana was right, they did make her eyes look bigger, but not in a ridiculously abnormally large way. Her eyes looked more adoring, with a bigger shine to them. The contrast of light on her onyx pupils was like looking at the gemstone itself.

“You know,” you breathed, “I think you look beautiful when you put on your glasses.”

She smiled a wide, toothy grin. The apples of her cheeks lifting proudly, and stretching the sides of her mouth heavily defined her happiness.

“You know,” she said, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear, “I think you look beautiful when I put on my glasses too.”
