i’ve got a week-long mini-gig that i’m doing this week, so it might not be up till friday or something, but I’ll try and get it up soon!

[technically-human]

First meeting

[sanyu-thewitch05]

Honestly, this. This, this, this.

Especially with Agatha’s excuse of “it was the 1920s!” sounds so similar to how white people respond to reparations (“It was 400 years ago! Get over it.”)

✦ I See Us, Chapter Three ✦

The one where they learn some things.

   The ripple that went through the group was practically physical, and at least one person choked on their drink.

   “Apologies, but did you say mother?” A new voice asks. A handsome man, brown hair and striking eyes that might be blue or green.

   “Yes, is that so unbelievable? I know we don’t look extremely alike but I thought there was some resemblance,” she jokes.

   “No, you look alike, but you look very young.” This time it’s from the man next to her.

    ‘Max Verstappen’

    “I guess I do look rather young to have a 22 year old son. I am Logan’s adoptive mother.” A tension that Lilli hadn’t noticed disappeared, and she couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh dear, did you really all think I gave birth to him and looked this young? No, I will be turning 37 this year.”

   “Still, you look extremely young, barely over 30.” A new voice, from who seemed to be the oldest at the table. Alsonso, she thinks.

   “Thank you,” she supplies, a smile sent his way for the compliment.

   “Ok, now that we’ve thoroughly interrogated Lilli, can we get food?” Alex buts in, picking up a menu and tapping it on the table. A few people laugh, also picking up a menu. Lilli smiles and rolls her eyes, picking her up as well.

   “Order whatever you want sweetheart, I’ll pay.” Logan looks up at her, and she swears she could see stars in his eyes.

   “Are you sure momma? I’ve got my card,” Logan whispers, patting his pocket. Lilli just gives him a small shake, patting him on the cheek.

   “It’s my treat, baby, for your first race of the season.” Logan nods, going back to his menu and whispering something to Oscar.

   Lilli raises a hand at a server that had been hovering near the group, and he quickly comes closer. 

   “A glass of the 2021 Amelia Chardonnay and water with ice, please.” Lilli pauses, turning to Logan.

   “Lo, what do you want to drink baby?”

   “Uh, Coke, and a glass of water.”

   Lilli turns back to the waiter, “Another water, the same, and a Coke.”

   He nods and quickly walks off, getting their drinks.

   “You getting a drink momma, I thought you were driving us?” Logan teases. Lilli rolls her eyes, knowing that she would be fine to drive once the night was over.

   “Mrs. Lillianna,” Lilli looks up at the voice, and, who she now can 100% say is Fernando Alonso, is looking at her.

   “Please, Lilli is fine.” Fernando smiles, nodding his head.

   “Lilli, how are you liking the Formula One life so far?” 

   “It’s quite exciting, if not intense. Definitely more to it than F2.” Her response gets a few nods.

   “F2 has much less chaos around it, I think,” Max points out, and she can’t help but nod in agreement.

   “I definitely agree. There's much more media coverage. I was not quite prepared for it, but Elias has helped a lot, as well as the press officers.”

   “Has the media already given you shit? Unbelievable,” Max scoffs, and Lilli can only nod along. His words might have been a little direct, but very true. 

   “I think they tried for a minute before realizing they had nothing to stand on.” She pauses, accepting the two glasses from the returned waiter. She taps Logan on the leg before moving his water in front of him. “Media likes to try and use anything you say against you, but I would say I was more than prepared to deal with the majority of it.”

   “That’s cause you’re used to dealing with stuck up snobs at PopPop’s big charity parties,” Logan butts in, eyes still on the menu. The confused looks that she can see from Max and Alonso are ignored by the man, but Lilli answers their unasked questions.

   “My grandfather owned a large cybersecurity and hired guard personnel firm in the States, and I’ve been attending charity events as his guest for as long as I can remember.”

   “Means she’s also loaded,” Oscar suddenly pipes up, much to the woman’s embarrassment.

   “I am not, just decently well off,” she tries to deflect, but the looks she’s getting from a few of the men are telling her that they don’t believe her.

   “In the States you say, but you are here for F1? Your job allows you to do such things?” Max questions, his attention fully on Lilli.

   “I do data analysis, which I can do remotely. It’s the best job I can ask for, considering racing takes up the majority of the year. But, I wouldn’t change it for the world,” Lilli pauses, her hand moving to Logans and squeezing it once. “Logan’s my world, and F1 is his dream, so I am completely ready to support him in any way.”

   “You are a good mother, supporting him this much,” Max smiles, and the words are more sincere than Lilli had expected. She responds with a smile of her own, before grabbing her menu and selecting her order.

   Logan kept his promise and didn’t drink nearly as much as Oscar and Alex. Oscar was the worst off, barely able to stand without any help, and Alex’s coordination was also rather poor. Lilli could still feel the buzz from her drink, and she knew it was enough to make driving not an option. In fact, Logan was practically fully sober by the time they were leaving.

   “I can call a ride in a little bit baby, you go ahead and get to the hotel,” Lilli insists, ushering the boys outside. The valet from earlier had already brought their vehicle up, and she was pushing the keys into Logan’s hand.

   “I don’t wanna leave you here by yourself momma.” Logan is firm with his words, but Lilli just smiles.

   “I won’t be here alone baby, there's still quite a few of the drivers here.” And she was right. Lewis, Carlos, Charles, Alonso, Max, and Pierre were still at the table, meaning she would not be alone.

   “...Fine,” Logan finally relents. He was just protective of his mother, and Lilli could understand that. It was rather adorable to her actually.

   “Be safe, and message me when everyone is back in their rooms,” she calls as Logan gets Oscar in the car, Alex tumbling in after. Logan nods, giving her a quick peck in the cheek before driving off. She watches them leave until she can barely see the red taillights. 

   “They’ll be fine, it will be an easy drive compared to a race.” Lilli turns at the voice behind her, seeing Lewis Hamilton standing a few feet behind her. He offers a hand, and she accepts it, looping their arms together before returning to the restaurant.

   “I have no doubt in that, but it’s ingrained in me to worry, no? Mother’s duty.” Lilli smiles at the man, and he returns it. They enter the doors, walking back to the table. The remaining few had moved to be closer to each other, with Charles moving closer to Max and Pierre moving next to Charles.

   “Not done yet Mrs. Lillianna? Come for another round?” Alonso calls out as they approach. Lilli just laughs, retaking her seat next to Max. She gives Lewis another stunning smile as thanks, and he returns it before retaking his seat.

   “No, just waiting for the buzz to wear off. I miscalculated the strength of the wine, and the boys needed to leave.” Lilli looks for her water cup, finding it refilled, but the lipstick stain was suspiciously gone.

   “I ordered you another glass, as I figured you would want to sober up as quickly as possible,” Max says quietly. “Apologies if that was wrong.”

   “No no, it was not. Thank you very much, I appreciate it.” Lilli notes the slight flush on his face, likely from the multitude of drinks he had consumed. Four gin and tonics, if she had been counting correctly.

   “Mrs. Lillianna-,” Charles begins, but Lillie politely interrupts him.

   “Please, just Lillianna or Lilli. It makes me feel much older than I am, and I am not married.”

   That gets many surprised looks before Fernando speaks up.

   “But your last name? Pardon me, but wouldn’t Logan’s last name be the same as yours then?”

   “Ah, yes…” Lilli pauses, taking a breath. She had not wanted to get into this so quickly, but it could not be helped. “Logan is my adoptive son, yes, but he is related to me biologically. His biological parents are my former cousins. They are no longer part of our family.” Lilli sighs, taking a sip of her water, wishing it was instead a gin and tonic.

   “Ah, apologies…” Fernando murmurs, and the atmosphere becomes tense. Lilli waves it away, speaking once again.

   “No worries, it’s not unknown knowledge, we just don't bring it up very often.” She smiles at the older man, to show she wasn’t upset by the question.

   “You’ve done a stellar job raising him, he’s an amazing kid,” Lewis speaks up, and Lilli internally sighs in relief. They weren’t put off by the information.

   “Thank you, I did my best with him. It helps that he’s the sweetest.” Lilli smiles, her eyes filled with adoration that the men around her could see.

   “He is, but I’m sure a lot of that had to do with how you raised him.” Charles speaks up, raising his glass to her. “I have two brothers, and my mother put everything she had into us.”

   “Your mother has done a wonderful job as well. I believe I've had the pleasure of meeting your younger brother. Arthur, correct?”

   “Correct, madame . I am surprised he has not mentioned you.” Lilli chuckles, leaning forward and resting her elbows on the table.

   “It was in passing, I doubt he would have remembered me.”

   “I do not believe that, you do not seem like someone easily forgotten,” Pierre finally pipes up, speaking to her for the first time since they had met.

   “I will take that as a compliment,” she smiles, quietly enjoying the visible mild panic in the Frenchman's eyes as he realizes his words could be seen as offensive. He stammers for a second before Lilli lets out a full laugh, eyes crinkling. “ Ce n’est pas grave ,” (It's not serious) Lilli assures him, thoroughly enjoying how reactive the group seems to be to her.

   “ Vous parlez français? ” (You speak French?) Charles asks quickly, his eyes bright.

   “ Oui, bien que je sois un peu faible, je ne l'utilise pas souvent .” (Yes, but I am weak, I do not use it often.) Charles laughs, waving his hand.

   “ Il n'y a pas de souci, tu le parles bien. ” (It is not a problem, you speak it well.)

   “Do you speak any other language?” Lilli looks at the man next to her, his eyes bright with interest. She nods her head, eyes moving to the two Spaniards in front of her.

   “ Hablo español con más fluidez, ya que es más común en los Estados Unidos. And German, as I’ve lived in Switzerland for the past eight-ish years.” (I speak Spanish more fluently as it is more common in the US.)

   “ Schweiz? Nicht Amerika? ” (Switzerland? Not America?) Max questions, eyebrows raised.

   “ Wir zogen um, als Logan tiefer in den Kartsport einstieg. ” (We moved when Logan got further into karting.) Lilli replies, the words rolling off her tongue, no trace of a stutter.

   “Have you thought about moving to Monaco at all?” Max switches back to English to ask, mindful of the others. She shrugs a bit.

   “I’ve heard it’s the epicenter for Formula drivers, but I like the privacy Switzerland gives me. We have a house in Florida, and a small flat in London, so I don’t think so.”

   “Not even renting an apartment?” Charles questions, leaning forward.

   “Maybe, if Logan wants. But I am happy with what we have now.”

   “You should take some time to tour Monaco, see if you find anything you like. I can take you, before or after the Monaco Grand Prix?” Charles offers. Lilli gives him a small smile, nodding ever so slightly.

   “We will see gentlemen.” Lilli takes a sip of her water, noticing the time on her phone. “Speaking of seeing, I must apologize. It was a delight to meet all of you, but we will have to see each other another time, as it’s getting quite late.” She stands, carefully gathering her things. Max stands as well, his own phone in hand.

   “Will you be ok to drive?” His question is filled with sincerity, and she can see Lewis out of the corner of her eye, also ready to stand.

   “Oh, no, I am calling a car. I sent Logan back with mine,” she says nonchalantly, opening her phone to call a ride.

   “ Non, s’il vous plaît , one of us will drive you madame ! It is far too late,” Charles protests immediately, half standing before Max waves him away.

   “I will take you, I must be leaving soon anyway.” Lilli immediately protests, politely refusing.

   “No, I couldn’t bother you with this-,”

   “You can’t because it is no bother. I will take you to your hotel, no worries,” Max insists, softly reaching for her arm and turning them towards the door. “I promise, it is no hassle.” 

   Lilli sighs, looking in his eyes before finally giving in.

   “Alright, thank you very much Max,” she responds, a small smile on her face. Max returns it, Raising a hand in a static wave to the other drivers, a farewell. “Thank you for the conversation gentlemen, I hope to see you all again, and wish you all well!”

   “ Merci madame, bonne nuit! ” (Thank you ma’am, good night!) Charles calls back, Lewis and the rest offering similar sentiments. With that, Max offers his arm in the same way he saw Lewis do earlier, and Lilli loops their arm as she had done earlier. The two exit the restaurant, the parking valet waiting with Max’s car. He hands the keys to Max, and opens the door for Lilli. She takes her seat, watching as Max passes the man a note before entering the car himself.

So what is the deal with Logan’s family in the I See Us in Black and White series. Are they a legitimate business or a crime family? If they are a crime family what sort of crime do they do. Then what do you feel like Logan’s mom’s ( I forgot her name) aesthetic is?

So, in the main storyline of I See Us, the Meyer family (Lillianna's maternal family) is a cybersecurity and hired security personnel firm. They focus on providing cybersecurity to large corporations and places like schools and universities. Their security personnel department is typically used by celebrities or important figures, but also by private businesses.

All For Love is a bit of an AU, delving into the darker side of politics and cooperate life, but also the life of celebrities. Thomas (her father), Lucas (her brother), and Logan make sure to keep her far away from anything that may happen, and Oscar is there to help clean their hands. Kyle is here for the ride since he's basically Lilli's other son, and Colton is standing with Oscar, offering advice. Lilli knows basically nothing and everyone else is happy. It's also a bit of an extended Florida Man Logan joke (love you comets) so don't take it too seriously in regards to the main fic.

As for Lilli's aesthetic, imagine a combination of Beach Girl, Cool Mom, and Corporate Girl Boss, with a sprinkle of Snowy Europe. Honestly, she's very chill and laid back, but appreciate the finer things in life.

BW Survival AU - lesson 3

“…It has been over 20 years since this winter has taken over our region after the dissenter had stolen the White Dragon & their fire, depriving us of our idyllic spring.”

King Natural Harmonia Gropius has always added this to the end of his weekly broadcast since the snow started to fall - even now, she didn’t think they sounded like his words so much as the one ruling in his shadow.

When she was younger, it was much harder not to believe those words. She’d agonize for months, years even. Even now, she’d have moments of chilling doubt. What if his words, - the very same ones the people bitterly repeat to themselves when she’d sneak into town - is the truth? For those words to be spoken from a place of authority, agreed by so many angry voices, it must be true…right?

That’s when Reshiram would gently remind her: “No. That is not who you are. That is not the Truth. That is who they need you to be for their lie to be reality.”

Lesson 3: Hold onto the truth & who you are. Always. No matter whose voice speaks over you.

—

Well, we had another snowstorm, so I got the day off (unlike poor Ikrit - his job is wild for being open). Perfect setting for drawing stuff for this AU. On another note, I’m happy to have found some connection to DxP REWRITE, even if it’s an alternate timeline for it. 🌨️

[champion-of-love]

loved how when eah was still airing there was an actual campaign on voting for who would be thronecoming queen. like raven, apple, cupid and blondie were actual choices you could vote for on the eah website. then,,, they just quietly hid the fact there's no voting for thronecoming king. there's no other choice other than daring that's it. can you imagine the dance after the vote had been revealed.

daring and apple are great friends but there's no romance between them so their dance is just them performing another waltz routine they've been dancing since they were kids. snow even sends proffesional videographers to film the thing so it can be used for futher pr for apple.

raven and daring is just awkward since they don't interact much and after the required king and queen dance they split off to hang with their own friends. their last interaction was raven asking if he wrote her a love poem and raven's embarrassment is off the charts. daring already forgot about the incident.

blondie and daring is blondie trying to get the dance over as soon as possible because she just learned about the greatest scoop ever (like what do you mean headmaster grimm cursed his own brother and hid him under the school!!!) and she wants to finish her report on it so their dance is over pretty quick. luckily blondie and daring are both friends so he isn't offended by it. meanwhile grimm is trying to bribe the mirrorblog owners to ban blondie's account before she could post her exposé. it doesnt work.

cupid and daring is just unstoppable force vs immovable object. they dont interact that much but because of daring's charmingness he accidentally breaks a lot of hearts at school and cupid's radio show is full of students crying about him. their dance is half cupid trying to strangle him for giving her so much work and half daring trying to charm her so she'd forgive him and failing. the dance ends in a petty slapfight and daring agrees that he owes cupid a few favors for the extra work he's caused. cupid mostly cashes in these favors so he'd fly her, briar and hopper on legend to parties and concerts after curfew. (thus daring's life as the pink squad's chaffeur begins)
