Don't get me started on how they blatantly downplayed all of Mey-Rin's scenes and dialogue in the anime. I nearly cried rewatching it this week. Also, Charles Grey is a big jerk!
Tumblr media

I'm honestly shocked that since Emotion/Representation aired I've yet to see anyone do anything at all with Felix and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein??? I think about it every day it's literally THE Felix piece of media. It's his entire character thesis. What are we doing guys
I KNOW I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT THE OTHER DAY
To be fair I have seen a few people headcanoning it as one of Felix’s favourite books (Which yes. Absolutely. 1,000,000%) but there hasn’t been any fics/art/edits/etc. about it yet to my knowledge. My copy is at my parents’ and in French but I am tempted to find an English PDF since it’s been public domain for a good while now. The web weave potential is insane.
I have many thoughts about Felix and literature in general… I have him quote Cyrano de Bergerac all the time in my fics, for example. I was thinking of starting a list of works of art and literature he’d enjoy, so I’ll take this as a sign to get writing! I can get my fandom friends to make some suggestions as well! 📝
Edit: @bittersweetresilience got us covered, our honour is safe 💜🦚

MT!ROY
I decided to accept that he's not that deep (/hj) and made my own version of him, mostly because of lore reasons.
TW for mentions of CSA and parent issues
Tagging the crew @merwynsartblog @clownazon @sunny6677 @bulldog-geckorahhhhh @catsockpuppet @royphobia @luzxii @articus-icecream
Tumblr media
Leaving the info under the cut because it's long
PERSONALITY/HIMSELF
— His "toughness" changes depending who he's talking to. He'll easily be an ass to people who he can clearly beat up, but it changes if it's someone his age for example. The only thing that makes him truly chicken out is if he notices that he has ZERO, NO chance or if the other person is clearly nuts. Other factors can creep him out aswell but then it's specific.
— Gray-ace, experiences sexual attraction very rarely. However he doesn't care enough about labels to search more about, and simply thinks that he's bisexual.
— Roy is more of a cat person but also really likes dogs. He just finds both of them dumb and funny./pos
— His vision isn't THAT bad right now, but it'll get worse with time. He does forget, but when he notices it he pretends not to.
— Resting pissed face.
— Tends to stim whenever he's too happy, either verbally or physically. He'll either start to stutter a bunch of gibberish or move his hands, normally pulling his sweater.
— 97% of the things he says with his friends would get him hated on the internet. Most of them are fucked up jokes. (<- don't feel bad for his friends they're just as fucked up they laugh their asses off)
FAMILY
— Vanido comes from Carmen, while Richelieu comes from Richard. His uncle is named Charles Richelieu, and is Richard's brother.
— Talks more easily to his dad than to his mom. Although it's mostly either short talks or awkward.
— Roy does loves them but still wish they were nicer and "less annoying". It mostly goes to his mom.
— Charles was a "disappointment" to his type of family and consequently Carmen disliked him, but Richard still has an attachment since they were quite close. That's also why he trusted Roy to go visit him by himself sometimes.
— Carmen almost ended up being more strict than she already is, but harsher demands caused Roy to actually express sadness, discomfort or panic, which made her feel bad and give up.
— They don't like him wearing eyeliner because they think it doesn't fit him at all.
— The only reason Roy won't stay up late (since he gets to be alone) it's because his parents won't let him. If he's caught awake after 00:00 he's scolded, and depending on how many times consecutive, grounded.
SCHOOL
— Studies in a private school and can't tolerate half of his colleagues. There's some cool ones there, but meh.
— Roy already participated in a LOT of school activities, or just activities in general, because his parents wanted him to. It includes violin, golf, advanced classes, swimming, badminton and ice skating. He hates most of these, but has a 'special spot' for badminton.
— Cheats a lot. He has the potential to be smart, but prefers to not take the effort to not explode./hj
— Most teachers don't like him and he's fully aware of that, but every year there's atleast ONE who'll hold a grudge after a single misbehaviour and then proceed to annoy him for no reason.
— Hates the uniform. It has short sleeves and he doesn't like short sleeves. Plus he just finds it ugly.
MENTAL HEALTH (?)
— Neither Roy or his family knows about his BPD or autism, in a diagnosis sense. They just think he's stubborn and going through puberty at maximum, while Roy himself just doesn't know nothing about it. He knows a little about autism because Robert's family is autistic, but assumed he has nothing to do with it for being the complete opposite of them.
— Has a horrible habit of pulling his own hair when too angry and/or stressed. Ross and Robert try to make him stop doing that, and to not have them to worry, Roy decided to try something else, such as biting his cap. It works, but only does it sometimes because he feels like an animal (/vneg) and because he's afraid he might ruin his hat.
— Roy nowadays feels really shitty in the dark thanks to the mansion. It's not exactly scared, more like uncomfortable. Feels worse if it's a big space.
— Roy already fought with Ross and Robert once, and it ended up making him see them as the wrong ones and just bad people because of a single fail. He hated staying by himself, and had thanked God that they decided to approach and apologize, because Roy didn't had the guts to.
— Bullying other kids without being stopped makes him better as he finally feels like being in charge of something.
— As much as Roy finally "knowledged" his own SA, he didn't fully did. Since his struggles with his family are more obvious and constant, that part ended up being "pushed aside" and he still finds it not a big deal; specially because Roy didn't even know what was happening at the time. He'll only face it in the future.

@thoughtfulfuri sorry this took me so long! A revised list of books you should look into reading this year. I could have added more ahaha, but this will keep you plenty busy.
Deeply informed by your list and the brief of:  “Books that have deeply influenced the thrust of the genre and media broadly” 
I also went for breadth over depth--you had some authors with a TON of books on your list, and if you’re looking for understanding of media influence I’m not sure that’s the best use of your time. THis isn’t a perfect list but I think it’ll provide a better net than your original. I do not know what you have an haven’t read. Spots where I think you might have read my recommendation I supplied a second. An incomplete list, because no list is ever complete, and always has huge gaps in judgment. WE can always make a new list next year! 
Agatha Christie -- And Then There Were None This was already on your list and it’s perfect. I prefer Murder On the Orient Express, but in fairness, those are the only two Christie novels I’ve ever read. And I’d keep it to one from each author. 
The Art of War — Sun Tzu  From your list, I have no issue with it
Kurt Vonnegut -- Slaughterhouse Five  This is his best and most enduring work. IF you’re looking for incredible influence, this is the one. 
Octavia Butler -- Kindred  I winnowed down your multiple Butler works to this big hitter. 
Isaac Asimov -- I, Robot From your list, make total sense
Daphne DuMaurier -- Rebecca You had My Cousin Rachel, which is great fun, but Rebecca is THE DuMaurier book. 
Leo Tolstoy -- War and Peace I replaced Crime and Pnishment with this not because I don’t like Crime and Punishment, but because if you’re going to commit to a russian novel, you may as well make it the most influential one ever written. This is routinely hailed as the best fucking novel ever written. It is in fact great. I will reread it with you this year! 
Frank Herbert -- Dune. This is from your original list and it’s fine I guess. I think reading Dune is a waste of time unless you’re super into sci-fi, but I won’t fight it. 
JRR Tolkien-- The Fellowship of the Ring From your original list and yeah absolutely. Cannot hope to ujnderstand fantasy as a genre without reading this. If you like it I recommend the whole series, but Tolkien can be hard for people. 
Harper Lee -- To Kill A Mockingbird From your list. Yes, this is an incredibly important American piece. 
Jane Austen -- Pride and Predjudice. There is no more influential Austen novel. You gotta. If you’ve read P&P read Sense and Sensibility, which has the added benefit of being at least four times better (according to people named Doc, who are me, who do not like P&P) 
Ray Bradbury -- Fahrenheit 451. I actually prefer Something Wicked from your list, but F451 is much more influential. If you’ve read Farenheit, read 1984 by George Orwell. IF you’ve read that, read Brave New World by Huxley. If you’re read that, scrap totally, your list is very sci-fi weighted anyhow. 
Oscar Wilde -- The Picture of Dorian Gray. Replaced A Woman of No Importance, which most people haven’t even heard of, with Picture, a deeply and widely referenced novel. If you’ve read picture, read “The Importance of Being Earnest” or better, watch a proshot of a play. 
Gregory McGuire--- Wicked. I dunno that I think this deserves a spot on your list, but I get that everyone’s talking about it right now. And I like the book! But it’s just not very genre influential, it’s more deeply influenced BY the genre. I left it, because I get wanting to engage with everyone talking about it, but those are my reservations.
WE ARE OFF YOUR LIST TOTALLY NOW. So I took a bunch of repeats off your list. I admire wanting to track influential books, and broaden your understanding of media generally, but I think you were sorta getting into the weeds. So I added a few others that have huge media impact. 
Charles Dickens -- David Copperfield    Boy did this suck for me to try and pick. I fucking love Charles Dickens. He was a dick in a lot of ways, revolutionary in others, and the man could write his ass off. He knew how to write a serial style that also keeps track of itself, and there is stuff that blows my mind as a modern reader even now. (If I hadn’t unintentionally made last years book clubs essentially Brit Lit 2: Brit harder i would be doing a Dickens novel for book club. I do have an idea of theming this year as “The American Answer” so like, we did Brideshead last year and the, well, an, American answer to that book is the Secret History. Here On Earth for Wuthering Heights. I don’t know. Actually, there’s an AMerican restyling of David Copperfield in my to-reads for this year) BUT ANYWAY, I ended up picking David Copperfield. It was Dickens’ own favorite, it’s one of his only first person novels, and it is the clearest example of Dickens’ tendency to impress himself upon a character. It has its flaws, of course, but I think centering yourself on David, a nostalgic, emotional writer trying to make his way in the world up from poverty, gives you a great understanding of both Dickens’ incredible influence and his own understanding of HIMSELF. Wow that was a lot of words. I have feelings about Charles Dickens. Sorry. 
Toni Morrison -- Beloved I didn’t like this book, when I read it. But it is good, it won the fucking Pulitzer Prize. I think Song of Solomon is better for me though. Anyway, you have to read Toni Morrison. The way she weaves in the Black American experience with undertones of magical realism impacts the way stories of what I’m going to call “difficult narratives” are allowed to be told today, influencing even people outside of the Black community. 
Salman Rushdie -- The Satanic Verses A masterwork of parallel storytelling, people keep trying to kill Rushdie over this book, a fantastic story about the immigrant experience in Great Britian. 
And some genre stuff for flavor: 
Spy Novels:
Ian Fleming -- Casino Royale  You know who james fucking Bond is. He was a book character first! 
John LeCarre -- The Spy who Came in From the Cold Okay, I am gonna level with you that this and fleming are two opposite poles, but I think they are two opposite poles that give you a really good look at what the spy novel can be and has been. I really enjoy John LeCarre despite not being huge into the genre
Horror: 
Shirley Jackson -- The Haunting of Hill House  This is the novel that launched Stephen King of all people, among others. Jackson is a fucking genius. 
Stephen King -- The Shining Horror is hard, because I read and love a lot of it. But The Shining had a huge influence on both horror and the American consciousness broadly. 
Fantasy:
TH White-- The Once and Future King. Were you at the book club for this? I cannot fucking remember to save my own life. Anyway, if you weren’t, this and LoTR changed fantasy forever. Same time period, even. How we understand fantwasy broadly today comes out of how Tolkien and White were thinking of it. If you read this, read The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis. 
Grr Martin-- A Game of Thrones Oh, I’m gonna get letters. But genuinely this book changed the game in fantasy, and had a huge cultural impact on America and many other Western countries.

Since you have a lot of nick v. Hcs, do you have any hcs bout pre war nick and synth nick where their likes/dislikes/opinions/traits are opposite from each other. Like ex pre war nick hates cats while as synth nick loves cats.
Hell yeah!
- I think prewar Nick was more outgoing than synth Nick. I think he had more confidence, as life had been much kinder to him (up until Jenny’s death, that is). He may have even been a little arrogant, but still kindhearted. Rather different from our much humbler, much more laid-back synth Nick. Synth Nick is certainly much more insecure, partly to do with how people treat him, partly because he compares his synth body to his human one, and partly because he believes that not even the Institute wanted to keep him around. He uses sarcasm and witty retorts to deflect people’s nasty remarks and keep up an outward wall of invulnerability, but he’s still affected by the way people treat him deep down. Still, he’s much more relaxed, more able to sit back and enjoy the little things. Many of the changes in his personality have to do with life circumstances, but some of them also just have to do with getting older and more mature.
- Prewar Nick liked more upbeat music. Both love jazz, but prewar Nick was more into Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Louis Jordan, energetic music for dancing fast. And he loved to show off on the dance floor. Synth Nick’s tastes are a little mellower, he loves Billie Holiday and Chet Baker. He doesn’t go out to dance anymore, with no partner to dance with, but you might catch him practicing on his own to the radio if you barge into the agency late at night, his motions slow, smooth, and elegant. He’d be a little embarrassed if you saw.
- Prewar Nick was a huge workaholic and a budding alcoholic. The drinking got much worse after he lost Jenny. Synth Nick can’t get drunk, although he wishes he could sometimes. He is still very much a workaholic. He’s got twice as many hours to fill each day without the need to sleep, so he spends a lot of them working. He’s gotten better at taking breaks since Ellie joined the agency, though. She takes some of the more tedious work off his shoulders and reminds him to step away for a bit.
- Prewar Nick liked to gamble. Mostly pool and card games at bars. Jenny made him promise to stop after he lost very badly one night and they had to borrow money for rent. Synth Nick hasn’t picked the habit back up. He doesn’t have that many caps to spare, and not many people in Diamond City would play a game of cards with a synth, anyways.
- Prewar Nick was very picky about his cigarettes. Had a niche preferred brand. Synth Nick can’t afford to be so picky, people don’t manufacture cigarettes anymore, so he’ll take what he can scavenge, usually just the basic Gray Tortoise brand. They don’t do anything for him on a chemical level, but he finds comfort in the ritual of smoking. The brand doesn’t seem so important to him now. But if you managed to scrounge up his old favorite somewhere as a gift, he’d probably be over the moon.
- Prewar Nick didn’t like Boston at first. Moving there from Chicago, he felt that the city was smaller, less lively, with worse food, and the streets were harder to navigate without the grid system. The longer he lived there with Jenny, the more it started to grow on him. He could envision raising a child in Boston, going to all the parks as a family, and he started to have a list of favorite pubs and delis to visit. Boston was ruined for him after he lost Jenny. Everything was ruined for him, really. Synth Nick has lived in Boston long enough to know its virtues and its flaws, changed as they are in a post-war world. He likes the charm of the old brick buildings in the North End, the boats in the harbor, the Esplanade with its view of the Charles, and the old-fashioned vibes of the Fenway area. He even likes the lazy Boston accent, although only a few people still have it. But he also sees the long history of prejudice and elitism that’s always been a part of Boston throughout history and the disturbing ways it continues on postwar. He’ll never leave, it’s where he’s made his home, but it’s certainly not paradise either.
Hope you enjoyed, feel free to send more asks! I’m having lots of fun with these hcs :)

THE SIX SHOOTER
Mar 16, 2023
Tumblr media
Radio programas or shows is something of the past. And it has become just that, sadly, something never to go back too. But I loved those shows and still do. However, there are so many things today that occupies one’s mind with an endless bombardment of different media programs on the internet or mobile phone, that there seems to be never enough time for anything.
Tumblr media
The Six Shooter is a United States western old-time radio program starring James Stewart as a gunfighter. It was created by Frank Burt, who also wrote many of the episodes, and lasted only one season of 39 episodes on NBC (Sept. 20, 1953–June 24, 1954). One old-time radio directory called the program “a last, desperate effort by a radio network (NBC) to maintain interest in adventure drama by employing a major Hollywood movie star in the leading role.”
The main character, Britt Ponset, a drifting cowboy in the final years of the wild west, was played by James Steward who’s voice you are about to hear. Episodes ranged from straight western drama to whimsical comedy. A trademark of the show was Stewart’s use of whispered narration during tense scenes that created a heightened sense of drama and relief when the situation was resolved.(wikipedia)
THE RADIO SHOW: SIX SHOOTER season 1 episode 1
youtube
(1vid) https://youtu.be/UnMZKcpD4gM
Each episode opened with the announcer (Hal Gibney; John Wald in later episodes) stating: “The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged. His skin is sun-dyed brown. The gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow mother-of-pearl, its handle unmarked. People call them both ‘the Six
Tumblr media
The haunting theme music was “Highland Lament”, arranged by series composer Basil Adlam and written by British film composer Charles Williams. Jack Johnstone was the producer-director for NBC Radio, in association with Revue Productions.

James Stewart filmed a television pilot episode titled “The Windmill” featuring Barbara Hale, John McIntire and Edgar Buchanan but it somehow failed to sell. A perfect copy of the episode exists, however, which you can at the end of the paragraph.
WINDMILL. James Stewart, Barbara Hale

The program was later successfully adapted for television in 1957 with John Payne as the star; by that time, Stewart’s career had completely recovered from his initial postwar slump and he was no longer available. An article in a trade publication reported that 39 “half-hour tv films” would be produced “for a series titled The Six Shooter.” Frank Burt was the consultant for all episodes of the adaptation. The pilot episode, titled “The Restless Gun”, aired on 29 March 1957 as an episode of the anthology series Schlitz Playhouse of Stars. John Payne, who would go on to star in the series, played the lead character, Britt Ponsett. But by the time the series, also called The Restless Gun, debuted the following fall, the main character’s name had been changed to Vint Bonner, “a slightly altered rendition of Britt Ponset”.
THE RESTLESS GUN
The Restless Gun is an American Western television series that appeared on NBC between 1957 and 1959, with John Payne in the role of Vint Bonner, a wandering cowboy in the era after the American Civil War. A skilled gunfighter, Bonner is an idealistic person who prefers peaceful resolutions of conflict wherever possible. He is gregarious, intelligent, and public-spirited. The half-hour black-and-white program aired 78 episodes (including the pilot episode in which the John Payne character's name is Britt Ponsett, the name of James Stewart's character in the 1953-54 old-time radio series The Six Shooter, upon which The Restless Gun television series was originally based).Wikipedia
(4vid) https://ok.ru/video/9967297759795
The Restless Gun theme song (officially titled "I Ride With the Wind") begins: "I ride with the wind, my eyes on the sun, and my hand on my restless gun..."

i loved the new chapter of wdyw and i’m so excited to see where this story will go.
i cannot explain how obsessed with the full time dom/sub dynamics i can imagine just imagine max taking charles apart making him cry and overstimulating him and then afterwards they cuddle and make dinner together?? like that is the most ideal relationship.
and i won’t even get started on how pretty charles will look in a collar omg max is gonna be suffering and it’s gonna be his own fault cos he’s gonna see his sub (whose also his bf now 😘) in his collar and not be able to keep his hands off
Hi Anon!
Thanks so much for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed!
These two will have more of a full-time dynamic (as much as F1 will allow) in the next work, and Charles gets to have his own daycollar he's long been after. There will be more domestic bits, but still mostly smut with some added drama 🙃
Here's a little sample of the new work:
This was a place for those who knew exactly what they were looking for—those who valued discretion.
A woman with dark, graying hair looked up from the counter, recognition sparking in her eyes as she smiled. “Monsieur Verstappen,” she greeted warmly. “Welcome back. Your private viewing room is ready as you requested.”
“Thank you,” Max said with a polite nod, following her past the main showroom, where various handcrafted accessories were displayed under glass cases.
He’d always preferred this place for its quality and exclusivity. The owners specialized in custom pieces, and the clientele was carefully curated—discerning individuals who valued craftsmanship and confidentiality.
As he stepped into the private viewing area, a few sleek, velvet-lined trays were already waiting for him on the table, displaying a selection of high-end collars.
He exhaled slowly, eyes scanning the options.

Three: He Was Checking You Out
Charles Leclerc x Nova Teller (OC)
Till The Wheels Fall Off Masterlist
Small town meets the fast lane. What happens when two souls meet? Will it end in happiness or will they both crash and burn?
As always reblogs and feedback is highly appreciated ❤️ if you want tagging in future parts let me know ❤️
Tumblr media
“Auntie Nova,” Elenor shouted over the sound of the shower.
“What’s up princess?” I smiled, poking my head around the shower curtain, making sure my body was covered.
“Poppy, called me your name today,” she whispered with an air of sadness in her voice. She was too young to fully understand Pops’ health concerns, but she knew something was wrong with him, there was no way we could hide that from anyone.
Retreating behind the shower curtain I ran my hands over my face. How the fuck was I meant to explain to her that her Poppy’s memory was getting worse? I took a deep breath before speaking. “Poppy just got confused, baby, he was watching the race and when I was your age, I used to sit on his knee watching with him.”
“Okay,” she hummed, slowly nodding her head as she chewed the inside of her mouth. I could tell by her reaction it was not the response she was seeking but I let out a small sigh of relief when she asked no more questions on the subject. For now, I had dodged a bullet, but I needed to warn Jax that at some point we needed to try to find a way to explain everything to Elenor that wouldn’t scare her. She loved her Poppy to bits and the last thing we wanted to do was cause her to worry.
“Have you thought about what you want to wear tonight?” I asked, quickly changing the subject as I shut the water off. Reaching my arm out of the shower I fumbled until I found the towel.
“My Ferrari hoodie,” she giggled, making me smile. I had definitely taught her well when it came to which team to support.
“Good choice, baby,” I grinned to myself as I wrapped the towel around my body. I was so grateful that we made sure the bar had an apartment upstairs and that we all kept a spare change of clothes here. “Has Uncle Bobby made you anything to eat?”
“He made my favorite.” She beamed as I pulled back the shower curtain, stepping out over the edge of the bath. I didn’t need to ask her what she had, her go to was always chicken nuggets and curly fries. It was honestly quite scary how alike Elenor was to not only Jax but to myself as well, especially since I had no blood relation to either of them.
Once we were both back in the small bedroom I quickly dried myself and got dressed. The outfit I had was simple: a ribbed light gray cropped vest top, black high waisted skinny jeans, my oversized long gray cardigan and finishing the outfit off with my black boots. It was the perfect outfit for relieving Chibs for the rest of the night whilst maintaining that edgy look I preferred whilst working at the bar.
Staring at my reflection I let out a small breath, my whole life I had been battling with the demons. It had been a long road, but I was slowly loving the body I was in but some days the voices grew louder making them hard to ignore. Taking one final glance at my appearance I made sure I was satisfied, I had done my makeup in record time but decided to leave my hair as it was because drying it was more effort than I wanted to spare right now. Feeling Elenor take my hand, I tore my gaze from the mirror smiling down at my niece. “Come on then, trouble.” I hummed. “Let’s go find your Dad.”
The two of us ran down the stairs, quickly reaching the small hallway that ran through the entire building, at the end was the main bar area, on the right side was mine and Jax’s shared office which was off limits to everyone and then the kitchen and storage area were towards the back.
Elenor instantly made her way over to Jax who was sitting with some guys from the MC, whilst I dipped in the kitchen to check on Bobby.
“There's my favorite cook,” I hummed, entering the kitchen. “How’s it been tonight?” I asked, leaning against the stainless steel countertop, picking at the batch of curly fries that had just come out of the oven.
“Not too bad, it’s been pretty steady, to be honest,” Bobby nodded, “it’s nice that it’s just the usuals. Lord help me when the summer tourists finally hit. Might have to drag a prospect or two in to help.”
“Whatever you need, you know you’ve got it. All you need to do is say the words,” I smiled, as he passed me a bowl of chicken nuggets, cocking my brow at him he just smirked.
“You won’t eat otherwise, and picking at the fries doesn’t count either,” he said, giving me a knowing look. Leaning over I pressed a kiss against his cheek before pushing myself off the counter to go relieve Chibs from behind the bar.
As I entered the main room, chicken nuggets in hand, I took a moment to scan the area; it was still pretty early in the evening so the place was somewhat quiet, however I knew things would change once the lads finished work piling in the bar. But it was something I loved, this bar was the heart of the town.
As soon as I was behind the counter I abandoned my chicken nuggets on the side before placing a clean mug under the spout of the coffee machine, pressing the green button on the front of the appliance to make Pops a fresh brew. He rarely drank alcohol now, so we always made sure we had a good stock of fresh coffee grounds and soft drinks, not only for him but for Elenor, too.
Looking up from the machine, my heart melted as I watched Jax with his daughter. Elenor brought out a completely different side to him. When he was with her he became softer, watched his language and didn’t drink too much. Initially it was weird seeing Jax completely change, but it always made me smile. She definitely made him a better man.
My mind was spinning with what Elenor had revealed to me upstairs, my worries were getting worse when it came to Pops’ health. Now he was calling Elenor by my name. I had a strong feeling things were only going to get worse. I needed to speak to him; I needed to understand what was going on with him right now even if he wasn’t going to make any sense. Looking over to the booth that Pops was sitting in I saw a bright smile on his face, one I hadn’t seen for a couple of days, it always warmed my heart. But the main thing I noticed was he wasn’t sitting alone, there were two people sitting with him, both with their backs to the bar.
Taking a deep breath, I left them to it not wanting to disrupt the conversation that was causing Pops to be this ecstatic.
“He looks happy,” Chibs whispered, placing his hand on my shoulder.
“Yeah, he does. So anything I should know?” I asked, changing the subject, glancing at Chibs over my shoulder.
“Nope, you are all good to take over, lass,” Chibs winked, leaning against the bar, pulling the beer bottle to his lips. He was hiding something from me, the smirk on his face gave that away, in fact I knew when all the club members were keeping things from me, one of the numerous benefits of being brought up around the MC. Raising my brow at him, he just shook his head quickly changing the conversation. “Tig isn’t joining us tonight, so it's gonna be a quiet one.”
“Tiggy isn’t gracing us with his presence, has hell frozen over?” I chuckled, as I finished the coffee. “I swear he props the bar up most nights.”
“I think one of his kids is in town for a couple of days,” Chibs shrugged.
“Which one?”
“The crazy one.”
“Again which one?” I chuckled, cocking my brow at my favorite Scotsman.
When it came to Tig and his girls we all knew it was best not to interfere, letting him do what he needed to do because the last time one of us got involved it got messy.
It didn’t take long for the coffee to be ready but before I had a chance to take it over to Pops, Chibs had already picked the mug up from the counter. “Oh and lass, you never know who might be in the bar tonight,” he smirked, throwing me a wink as he exited the bar making his way through the room to join Pops and whoever was sharing the booth with him.
Shaking off his words I quickly found myself busy tending the bar along with serving food, even though Tig wasn’t gracing us with his presence tonight the place still had a buzz about it. Scanning the room I was greeted with the familiar faces of people I grew up with, most nights it was filled with members of the MC. This was practically our home, if you couldn’t find one of the guys around town, you knew they would be here.
More of the locals joined us when we hosted themed nights, quiz and karaoke evenings were definitely the most popular. I loved it when this place was packed, the sounds of everyone talking, laughing and having a good time with their friends and family.
It also made the hours pass quickly.
However, no matter what I did I couldn’t shake the feeling of worry, I needed to speak to Jax about Pops. We needed to sit down and work out what we were going to tell Elenor but we needed to figure it out sooner rather than later.
Eventually things quietened down, the mad rush of everyone finishing work had passed, giving me a chance to catch my breath, looking over to where Pops was sitting, noticing that his guests had left. Quickly I grabbed the two mugs of fresh coffee before making my way over the booth, sliding into the cherry red leather, automatically resting my head on his shoulder.
“How was your evening?” I asked, letting the familiar smell of coffee and aftershave wash over me.
“Pretty amazing, my sweet Nova,” Pops beamed. Pulling away from him I looked up noticing how wide his smile was, he had that sparkle back in his eyes. “I spent the whole evening talking to Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly.”
I had just taken a large sip of coffee as he spoke, his words caught me off guard causing me to choke on the caffeinated liquid.
The realization finally hit me like a ton of bricks, he had completely lost his mind.
Taking a deep breath, I tried to ignore the feeling of my stomach twisting into a tight knot. I knew there was no way he had spent the evening talking to two drivers that he had spent two hours watching on the TV.
“Of course you did Pops,” I mumbled, trying to mask my worry with a strangled laugh. “Let me go find Jax, he is your ride home tonight.”
Pushing myself to my feet I scurried back behind the bar, bouncing on the balls of my feet whilst I waited for Jax to finish conversation with Chibs. I found myself holding back tears as I tried to calm myself down. I was normally pretty good at holding it together and not showing any emotion to the outside world but right now I was failing.
Suddenly Jax was now standing in front of me, wrapping his arms around me providing a sense of comfort. Yes, me and Jax fought like biological siblings but when it came down to it I knew I could count on him when I felt weak and needed someone to be strong for me for once.
“Where’s your head at Squirt?” Jax hummed, guiding me from behind the bar and out onto the patio terrace.
“Can you take Pops home please?” I sniffled, pulling away from him, leaning against the wall. Automatically I ran my hands over my face before speaking again, Jax extended his hand holding out a smoke which I gratefully took. “I’m worried, Pops is getting worse. Tonight he told me he spent the evening talking to Leclerc and Gasly.”
“As in Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly?” Jax mocked, cocking his brow at me. There was something about the look on his face, I couldn't quite place. Normally I was pretty good at reading my brother but right now I was struggling.
“Yuup,” I hummed, popping the ‘p’, ignoring his playful tone. Right now wasn’t the time for him to be joking. “My head is spinning right now, he is getting worse. I don’t know if I have time to focus on Pops, the bar, and the cafe. I feel like I am drowning. I think we need to look at getting outside help.”
The moment the words left my lips I felt the bile rise in my throat. I hated myself for even saying them. Teller’s never quit on family, but saying those words made me feel like I was giving up on him, when in reality I was just struggling to keep my head above water. The look on Jax’s face changed, this look was something I knew all too well, it was a look that told me he felt guilty.
“Nova,” Jax breathed, draping his arm around my shoulder, pressing a kiss against my temple. “You deserve a break more than any of us. I know the last couple of weeks, hell even the past year with the custody hearings, I haven’t been around much and I am so fucking sorry,” his voice was quiet as he spoke. “I will take Pops home, don’t worry about anything else but the bar tonight. Tomorrow we will sit down and work out what we need to do to help him.”
Taking a deep breath, I silently nodded at Jax. “I just hope tomorrow is a better day,” I whispered.
“It will be, Squirt,” Jax hummed, “think positive. We are in this together, till the wheels fall off, remember.”
Hours had passed, the work was steady which I was grateful for however I desperately needed sleep. Over the last month I had been opening up the cafe followed by a closing shift at the bar. Both businesses were short staffed due to people taking vacation time and illness, meaning I had to spread myself thin to make sure both establishments kept bringing in income for the club. I could have asked for help getting some of the prospects in to take some of the pressure off but the truth was I didn’t trust them. They hadn’t been patched yet and a lot of them still had to prove their loyalty to the club.
The moment I had put the lock on the main doors of the bar I let out a huge sigh of relief that was until I looked around the bar seeing the glasses scattered across the tables. The prospects that had been chosen to help around the bar really hadn’t pulled their weight this evening, confirming my decision not to ask for any help. I was definitely going to be having words with Jax about it.
Glancing at the time I groaned knowing that by the time I had finished the clean up it would be well past 2am, so once I had gotten to bed I would only end up having a couple of hours sleep before I had to be up to get the cafe ready for opening.
It made me wonder if it was even worth going to sleep tonight.
“Nova, go home,” Bobby said, appearing from the direction of the kitchen. He already had the large black plastic tub that we used for collecting the glasses tucked under his arms. “I’ve got this, you go get yourself in bed, sweetheart. The last thing we need is you collapsing from exhaustion.”
“You sure?” I asked, trying to hide the yarn that escaped from my lips.
“Absolutely,” he said, flashing me a soft smile.
Right now I was so grateful, I hated abandoning ship but I knew I could never win this fight with Bobby. He was someone that once he had set his mind on something you couldn’t do anything about it.
It didn’t take me long to round my things up, not when it comprised my phone, smokes, car keys and lighter. Slipping everything into my pockets I strolled over to Bobby giving him a hug.
As I was making my way out of the bar Bobby started speaking again. “I’m proud of you sweetheart, you acted better than we all expected tonight.”
“What are you on about?” I laughed, cocking my eyebrow at him in confusion.
“We were graced with the presence of your favorite Formula One driver tonight,” he said with a large smirk firmly planted on his face.
Great first Pops and now Bobby, was everyone losing their mind in this town?
I had two options: play along with it or call him out on him going crazy. After weighing up my options I decided to go along with this crazy story.
“I know right! I can’t believe they chose our small town, let alone our bar,” I squealed over dramatically whilst rolling my eyes. “Maybe they will come back tomorrow, we will fall madly in love before running off into the sunset together!”
“Kiddo with how the boy was checking you out, it wouldn’t surprise me if he became a regular,” Bobby replied, with a large smirk on his face.
“You’ve been reading Elenor too many stories, old man,” I scoffed, once again rolling my eyes at him. There was no way on this earth that two talented formula one drivers were in the bar let alone checking me out. “Maybe I need to send you with Pops to the memory clinic.”
“Sweetheart, he definitely was, I swear Jax was moments away from ripping his throat out with the way Leclerc was running his eyes over your body,” he chuckled, a large smirk gracing his face as he continued to collect glasses.
“Goodnight, you crazy old man, I will text you the details of Pops’ next appointment,” I hollered over my shoulder, making my way to the back exit.
For what felt like the millionth time this evening my mind was spinning.
Was it fuck with Nova day or something?
Clambering in the driver's seat of my old truck I rested my forehead against the steering wheel, I desperately needed sleep. I knew I would be fine in the morning and this would just be a bad dream.
The drive home went by in a blur, a small smile appeared on my face as I noticed Jax had left the porch light on for me. No matter how many times he did this it always warmed my heart.
All I wanted to do was crawl into bed and sleep, but there was something playing on my mind. I needed to know if Pops and Bobby were telling the truth because if they were I had made a complete fool of myself from the moment me and Jax got back from dirt biking. I just prayed that if he was in the bar, he wasn’t there when I was reciting Crofty’s commentary from Monza. Because if he was then I could never show my face in the bar again.

Stickmintober 2024 Day 24: [FAIL] and Day 25: Betrayal
Like I promised, it's a double feature! Get hype! Or don't! I don't own you! I have no mortal possessions! WHEE!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You think that your choices don't really matter, but the truth is that even the tiniest decision can be a matter of life or death.
(For the record, I do believe that vanilla has a good flavor that's not just "plain", but I don't have a particular preference for chocolate or vanilla; it depends on how I'm feeling that day.)
Anyway, here's day 25:
Tumblr media
Originally, I wanted to recreate the image that Splatoon released when Deep Cut's "Big Betrayal" Song was first released, but that was too hard for my little baby brain to draw, so I simplified. Same energy, though.
Remember that trend of making your pet hold a sign listing what they did wrong when they did something bad? Pet-shaming, I think it's called? It's probably still a thing. Anyway, Henry's been a little silly, so Ellie and Charles decided to set him back on the right path... by beating him up until he says sorry.
I'm actually ridiculously proud of that black eye; I shouldn't be, it's literally just a round gray shape with a line inside it, but it makes me feel happy and accomplished. The wonders of the creative process!
Anyway, sorry for the wait; it's fair season and I was at the fair! For a really long time! It was a long and fun day, but I was very much not in the mood to think after midnight. See you tomorrow for day 26! GAH, Halloween's almost here! The year's almost over! I'm afraid of the never ending march of time, too long and yet never long enough! WHEE!

If you're still willing to take snippets... I'd love to read more about Blake!! He owns my X-Men heart fr <3 <3
Oh my gosh thank you so much! Sorry this was the bit late, I was having A Week when you sent this. Writing this really cheered me up today, I genuinely squealed when I finally got the time to write it!
Blake sat in front of the growing fire, wiggling his numb toes. He was feeling the afternoon lull, and the mansion sat suspiciously quiet as its inhabitants settled in to finish homework or curl up with a hot drink in the October chill. The wind gently jostled desiccated leaves from their trees, both parties bidding farewell as the sky grew a contented, cloudy gray. He found himself inside more often as the weather turned, preferring the constant dullness of his senses to the sharp emptiness that accompanied every journey through a dormant landscape. He shifted himself with great effort to pluck his guitar from the side of his chair, and felt the familiar divots of the uneven wood. Blake had little effect on organic material that was technically dead, but he had caught himself slightly warping the soundboard in sporadic times of extreme distress. He experimentally plucked the catgut strings, a small touch that Charles had picked up from a secondhand shop. Metal or nylon simply felt too foreign. He heaved himself out of his chair and ran a finger across the spines of the numerous hardcovers that lined the shelves of the study, all cloth-bound and varying fascinatingly in height and color. His hand was skirting across the spine of a Robert Burns collection when Kurt appeared directly in front of him. Blake knew he should be well-used to it by now, but he couldn't help but start and let out a small yelp.
"Blake! I was wondering where- ach! I hope I didn't disturb you." "No, no, I wasn't doing much, anyway." "Looking for more poems?" Kurt asked, noticing the small pile of books that Blake had accumulated on the coffee table from the past week. "Not like I'm starved for choice, I just... I'm feeling uninspired." "You could always try something in German," said Kurt, waggling his eyebrows. "I can live without your constructive criticism, Kurt," he replied lightly, recalling a past attempt to read untranslated Goethe out loud, to Kurt's immense amusement. "I tried to be nice," he giggled, "but now you know how it feels. The uh... mouth-feel can be hard." "But German is so- sharp. I had to hack around the syllables." Kurt rolled his eyes. "Ah, because English is so gentle." Blake absentmindedly strummed a G chord. "You're not wrong." At that, Kurt determinedly sat and crossed his legs on the carpet. "I'm never wrong. So, I think you must pick a poem at random and sing it for me." Blake sputtered. "You know it takes me hours to come up with the melodies!" "Come on, you need this! A challenge! Sing for me, bitte." Blake huffed, marching back to the bookshelf and yanking out The Iliad without looking. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me." Kurt's tail curled in merriment. "We'll be here for a while." Blake strummed a few harsh chords in reply.

Theodoreus: sweet and also Bi, he needs a hug
OMASU DAZAI: from the two series I've seen him in so far, this man- so fruity, he likes men- so much- Bi with male preference
Issac: probably gray romantic and graysexual. But when he is in love/in the mood, boy howdy does he ever let his liver know that he adores them. In private tho, in public it's like- pinky holds and he is a bit of a lost child around that lover
WILLIAM: this man- exists to be queer.

My 2024 Books and Ratings
Tumblr media
-The Harlequin by Laurell K. Hamilton ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars
The Harlequin was an interesting concept, but the amount of sex in the recent books has made reading them a chore for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good sex scene and some smut, but I prefer a build-up to it as opposed to what feels like every other page. Please Laurell, less sex and more necromancy.
-A Game of Retribution by Scarlett St Clare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars
-A Game of Gods by Scarlett St Clare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars
-A Touch of Malice by Scarlett St Clare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars
It takes a lot for me to give a book five stars, so nice job.
-A Touch of Chaos by Scarlett St Clare. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars
Good job Scarlett, like I said before, it takes a lot for me to give a book five stars but I think you wrapped up the Hades X Persephone series well and I can see myself re-reading the series in the future. It now has a permanent spot in my book collection. One thing however, please include everything I the final published book. I was kinda annoyed when I realized that a whole bonus chapter of the book was not included in my physical copy and my audiobook kept going after my physical book ended. I also would have never known or got to read the bonus chapter about Hermes without googling the issue and finding the PDF files for said chapters on Quora. So that soured my mood a bit…
-A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars
I read it because it’s the favorite book of one of my favorite book characters (Tessa Gray from The Infernal Devices). I would’ve rated this book higher, but the begging of the book was confusing to me. I was, however, crying by the end of the book. Thanks Dickens, you confuse the hell out of me and then have me sobbing by the end.

can I have a rdr2 matchup 🥺
I prefer male matchup
My Appearance: Im around 5'4 ish female with a thin build and an hourglass figure, but rather flat. I have medium curls, dark brown hair with bangs though I usually wear my hair in a bun because I hate it long. I have downturned bluish-gray eyes. I have a condition called Keratosis that heavily affects my arms and legs and a little bit on my outer cheeks. I have veiny hands that are kind of wide, but I have a good grip strength so I don't mind. I always keep my nails short. I wear glasses but cannot stand contacts.
Personality: ISFP-T! (People who prefer the Constant Improvement Strategy are quiet, individualistic, perfectionistic, and success-driven, often spending a lot of time and effort ensuring the result of their work is the best it can be.) I'm soft spoken and don't usually like confrontations and I will actively avoid situations where I have to do a lot of talking. I'm nervous around strangers and people I haven't known for a while. Even with people I'm comfortable around I tend to let them do all the talking. I'm very adventurous though and I get bored very easily so if I'm with someone and I keep suggesting activities and all they want to do is sit around I'll get bored or insecure about being around them. Simply sitting quietly with someone isn't enough. I have a very open mind though and as long as an activity isn't hurting anyone i'm down to try it! I love to explore different kinds of activities.My main love languages are physical contact and gift giving and a little bit acts of service. I crave to be held or cuddled and I like it when people trace patterns on me. I'm not rich by any means but I love giving things to people because making people happy is really one of the main reasons to make me happy. I hate being alone because my thoughts are so loud and they concern me because I can't help but think of bad things when i'm alone so I like either having someone or something to distract me. I'm not gonna lie- I can get very over emotional and more often than not my emotions tend to control me. I'm a crybaby kinda.
Hobbies: Baking, Reading, Biking and Walks. I love making breads and cookies in particular but there's just something so calming about baking. Reading allows me to get lost in a fantasy- Im am a HUGE Daydreamer. Biking and going on walks is fun. I dont like to be in forests too much because i'm terrified of insects but biking and walking down roads is an activity I do often.
Habits: I bite my lips a lot and grind my teeth. I'm usually not aware of it but it does get painful which is usually when I know I'm doing it. I like biting things. Not like full on biting but soft nibbles and when there's nothing soft to bite on I will bite on my own arm.
Fun fact: I make really good coffee and Tea. I love hot drinks so I take time to make them and I largely enjoy others trying some drinks I make and I'd love nothing more than to share drinks with someone.
Sad fact: My relationship with my parents is complicated and I often feel scared to be around my family due to constant yelling, screaming, degrading, and emotional negligence so I tend to avoid people with authority.
I match you up with… Charles!
Tumblr media
He does notice your nervous demeanor, especially in social situations. He makes conscious effort to give you the space you need. He’d never push you into uncomfortable situations.
Charles is a very stoic man, but your companionship calms him down even when there’s a turmoil within him. No one sees, except for you.
Given your love languages Charles will make sure to give you the affection you need.
Not a fan of PDA, but he will hold your hand or wrap his arm around your waist in public.
In private he will often offer you hugs, hold you close and whisper sweet nothings into your ear.
He’d happily let you tag along when he goes out to hunt or even for a ride.
