[meowingcreach]

Booked an appointment to pierce my left earlobe a second time. I have them both pierced once rn, and tried getting both pierced a second time a few years ago but the guy did it poorly and I was bad at healing them so I took them out after like a few days. Silly time.

Little Darling

Epilogue

It's 1997, and Elvis is still alive and well. He quit music in 1972 after a successful world tour, and now he runs Presley Studios - teaching people karate across America. His daughter and grandchildren are regular visitors at Graceland, and when he’s in Memphis he likes to do a little teaching. His life is quieter now, though. Most of the Mafia have gone - going to live their own lives - and after his divorce from his second wife, Elvis is sworn off women for good. Will a Welsh girl with a wicked sense of humour be the one to make him break his promise to himself not to fall in love again?

Need to catch up? Go here.

Pairing: Old Man!Elvis x OC - Tegan, a Welsh girl he meets at karate.

Word count: 1.3K

TWs: Just a little dirty talk really.

A/N: Well, this is the end! Thanks to everyone who has interacted with this fic - it was a labour of love and I have cherished every single comment, reblog and message 💕

When Tegan wakes the next morning she feels the events of the night before in her body before she remembers them. As they start to come back to her, slowly at first and then more and more rapidly she feels a smile spreading across her face. She’d enjoyed last night. A lot. She rolls over to find Elvis already sat up in bed, reading. Groaning and stretching, she tries to wake herself up properly. It’d been really late when Jerry had finally left their bed for his own; they’d spent hours talking together about all sorts of things. 

“Mornin’ sunshine.”

Elvis closes the book and puts it down on the bedside table, looking at his girlfriend as she peers back through half-open eyes. 

“Mmmm. ‘Raur.”

“How ya feelin’?”

She closes one eye and squints at him through the other. “Thoroughly fucked.”

That earns her a belly laugh, one of her absolute favourite Elvis reactions. “Well that’s coz ya were, baby.”

She closes both eyes and puts her face in her hands, giggling. “I loved it,” she admits, still hiding. 

“Hmmm. Well it was a damn good Christmas gift, considerin’ ya didn’t even know Jerry was comin’ until the night before.”

She looks up, cautiously. “You think I’m a slut, for doing that? I only just met the guy…”

Elvis shakes his head, leaning down to kiss the top of hers. “Baby, I used ta fuck a different girl every night on some tours. Met ‘em, liked ‘em, made ‘em cum. Plus I know ya only jus’ met ‘im, but Jerry’s been my best friend fer years.”

Tegan thinks about this as she slowly sits up. “You ever do this with Stella?”

He blinks in surprise. “Uh… no.”

“Oh.”

“I uh… she wanted the picket fence life.”

She shifts to lean against him. “What kind of life do you want?”

“One with you in it, honey.”

She smiles against his pyjama top. “Me too.”

“But, uh, not one with Jerry… y’know…”

“I’m not sure I do know.”

Elvis sighs. “Yer makin’ me say it, again.”

“I mean, last night you told me you and Jerry used to take it in turns to fuck women you met on tour. And now you’re going all shy again?”

“I was a little drunk last night, darlin’.”

Tegan looks up at his face from her position with her head against his shoulder. “What’re you trying to say, ‘raur? Spit it out.”

Another deep sigh. “Last night was fun. But I don’t want Jerry as a permanent fixture in our bedroom.”

Tegan raises an eyebrow. 

“I don’t want him fuckin’ ya all the time!” Elvis snaps, exasperated. “Yer mine. I don’t mind if he borrows ya, under supervision… on special occasions y’know. But not…” he sighs again and waves a finger around in a circle. “This… ain’t a thing.”

Tegan smiles at his possessiveness. She feels like she ought to be offended by him talking about her like she’s a rare library book, but instead it makes her feel all warm inside. 

“I enjoyed last night a lot,” she begins, wrapping her arm around him. “I’m glad we did it. And if you and Jerry want to do it again before he leaves, then I’d be down. But I don’t want anything more than that. One boyfriend is enough.”

It’s Elvis’ turn to raise an eyebrow. “Ya wanna do it again?”

She giggles into his shoulder. “Mmm. Yeah.”

“Well, we’ll see about that, little girl…”

***

Elvis, Tegan and Jerry have fun together again more than once, but after Elvis’ massive New Year’s Eve party Jerry goes back to LA, and although they both miss him they’re glad to be back to just the two of them for a while. They get professional photos taken of the two of them with Coffi, and the best one - where they have forgotten the camera and are just staring into one another’s eyes, giggling over some shared joke or other - hangs with the other family shots on the wall in the living room of Graceland. They share their time between the mansion and the apartment, and despite Elvis’ best attempts to persuade her to give it up, Tegan continues working at the recording studio, though she drops down to three days a week as a compromise. She finally takes her grading seriously, and by the end of the year she’s a purple belt. Elvis is proud of her, but he still thinks she could practise more at home. 

He travels less for work now, feeling content staying in Memphis for months at a time. There are still times when he has to pay one of the studios on the other side of the country a visit, and Tegan can’t always take time off work to go with him. He misses her like crazy, but she’s secretly a little relieved to have time to herself, though of course she doesn’t tell him that. 

One day after a trip to Kansas, he presents her with a big box with a pink bow on the outside. 

“Jus’ somethin’ for ya for next time I’m away.”

Tegan’s mind boggles at the possibilities, but nothing she thinks of is what she eventually finds in the box. 

“It’s…a bear?”

“Squeeze ‘im.”

Tegan puts both hands around the middle of the teddy and squeezes.

“Daddy misses ya, Tegan bach.” The teddy bear says, in Elvis’ unmistakable drawl. 

Tegan squeals, then giggles, then squeezes it again to see if it does the same thing, which it does. 

“He’s from build-a-bear,” Elvis explains. “Got ‘im from the second store in the country. Ya make ‘im yerself, put a little heart in him…” he smiles, bashfully. “...an’ ya can record a little thing for ‘im ta say. Got them ta open the store in the middle of the night fer me so I didn’t get papped doin’ it.”

“Aww ‘raur!” Tegan throws an arm around Elvis’ neck, cuddling him close and holding the bear out to the side slightly to avoid squashing him. “He’s adorable. You’re adorable.”

“Glad ya like ‘im, honey.”

They pull apart and she looks down at the bear again. “He needs a name.”

Elvis’ arm slips around her waist and he presses his lips to her ear. “Why don’tcha call ‘im Elvis?”

Tegan pushes on his chest, laughing. “Don’t be filthy now! This is a nice, cute bear!”

“Me? Filthy? I don’t know whatcha mean, Queenie.”

He’s desperately trying to keep a straight face, but Tegan can see his eyes shining with amusement. 

“You’re giving me a bear to keep me company when you’re away, and you want me to name him Elvis?” Her eyebrow is raised and her hand is on her hip, but she’s struggling to keep from laughing, too. 

“Uh huh. Ya can cuddle up ta him in bed when I’m not there.”

“Right, right, yeah of course. That’s all you meant.”

“Sure.” His lip is quivering at this point, as he tries desperately not to grin. “I mean I wouldn’t want ta get between a girl an’ her bear, and whatever else she might wanna do with him when she’s missin’ me…”

“Elvis Presley.” Tegan uses her best school teacherish tone, but eventually the pressure of trying not to laugh gets to be too much and they both burst into peals of laughter. 

“What?!”

She hits him with the bear, inadvertently making the voice go off and their hysterics even worse. 

“Hey, you’ll hurt ‘im!”

“I’ll hurt you in a minute!”

They keep giggling as Elvis pulls her in close, pressing his forehead against hers. 

“Yer always makin’ me laugh, little darlin’,” he breathes. “‘M glad I came ta teach that karate class.”

“I’m glad too, ‘raur.”

“Don't know what I'd do without ya, Queenie.”

She smirks. “Well I can get you your own bear if you really want…”

tuesday again 2/18/2025

much like phil, i feel like i cannot quite ever get physically comfy this week. something is always not quite right.

listening: god save the queens by vienna vienna

reading: love's harvest by peggy j herring

watching: cinderella

playing: pokemon

making: return of the baby blanket

listening

im going to start out a little bit mean and say that this self-described glimmer rock song, God Save The Queens by Vienna Vienna, really shone in the ten-second social media clips i saw of its live version. the actual studio version sucks so much. and even the full version of the live version, i want it to me slightly different but in a way i cannot articulate. i am excited to see if other people start covering this in fun ways and maybe it'll be the rare song where i like the cover much more than the original.

I saw a man out in Hollywood He carried a sign that said he hated me I said, "Please, get in line" He stopped to ask me a question He said, "Do you know Christ?" I told him, "Maybe I do, does she work the nights?" He said, "No, I mean Jesus" I said, "That guy was tight But I'm not living in a city built upon your lies" He tried to save me, but somebody already did last night They said their name was Alex, baby, and they showed me the light

like here's the studio version. give us nothing i guess??? i think if you are going to sell merch with GOD SAVE THE F*GS censored out maybe you should say that in the studio version of your song. this is probably a label decision but i want this song to be about 15% less corporate sponsor of a pride parade than it is. i feel like this song got heavily edited from a first draft and i would have liked to hear that probably much angrier first draft. hell of a hook though.

reading

this gay and/or lesbian romance and/or erotica project is turning into a little bit of a slog, so with the gentle encouragement of @sybilius going "what if you read good books you enjoyed?" going forward we are going to try a novel of dubious quality from my shelf and an acclaimed queer novel from history in the hopes that one of them will be tolerable. so next week we have the dubious pairing of a mob girlfriend in WITSEC romantic thriller from my shelf, and Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe has just come off hold.

last week's assigned book was Heart on Fire, which was supposed to be even!! better!!! than Naiad Press's previous bestseller Curious Wine by Katherine V Forrest. so of course we had to detour to Curious Wine, which had a very short hold time.

reader, i did not finish this book. seven (7!) different women are introduced in the first chapter with almost no physical or clothing descriptions. they are all extremely mean to each other in the way older women who are dissatisfied with their life often sabotage all their relationships. i didn't have it in me to make a cheat card for myself with who the fuck each woman was, bc i expected somewhat lighter going in a contemporary romance with no extra genres tacked on top.

i am glad i did not continue bc while reading reviews everyone mentioned the Graphic On-Page Sexual Assault??? and this is still somehow every older lesbian's favorite book??? truly the times have changed.

Deep in the heart of France's majestic wine country, the sun drenched hills and lush vineyards of the Jeton family estate seem like the perfect setting for a passionate affaire de Coeur. But the life of workaholic winemaster, Nicole Jeton, is anything but romantic. From one harvest to the next, she runs the world-renowned winery, cares for her invalid father, and bails her no-good brother out of trouble—never stopping long enough to consider her own needs and desires. Until she meets the lovely Camille Cartier...

thank you girls. Love's Harvest by Peggy J Herring is one of the books acquired by Bella when they bought out part of Naiad Press. originally published in 1997, this 156p book was reprinted in 2007 with no additional changes or author's notes. it is the same quality as all the Bella reprints: a kind of terrible to hold perfect-bound softcover. i am beginning to suspect i simply do not vibe with the naiad and/or bella publishing market. i may not be their intended reader. im not really sure who their intended reader is, except maybe the 1997/2007 version of people who patiently comb through self-published kindle ebooks? what is the point of having a physical press and an editor if you can't make the line breaks and the quotation marks correct?

i couldn't find out much about Herring except that she died last summer and was part of her own tuesdaypost endeavor:

To further enhance communication within the women's community, [WomanSpace San Antonio] newsletter staff initiated a regular event known as Tuesday Night for discussing topics affecting women's lives. Topics ranging from real estate law to rape/incest were prepared for each Tuesday session. As ties to related community resources and events increased, the Tuesday Night events were superseded in 1995 by other events and meetings for the lesbian and gay community.

i did not like this book. such a wild amount of somewhat disjointed events take place during this novel and i really wish it was good. there is a for-real ghost, her great aunt killed by her grandfather and everyone just kind of shrugged about it??? that can dramatically interact with physical objects and STOPS A MURDER??? people are so calm about this ghost as a daily fact of life when there is exorcist level shit going on in the foreground. nicole has to cancel one of their weekend getaways bc the ghost is simply too on one and she can't figure out how to explain the ghost to camille, a presumably more normal outsider who presumably did not grow up with a ghost. the ghost is not the focal point of this book but it is by far the most interesting thing in the book.

this book felt like a barely fleshed outline. they go here. they do this. they see that. here is a great example of a section where i would have loved more elaboration in literally every sentence. the build up to this call and the call itself could have been a full chapter instead of half a page.

the least amount of dialogue i have maybe ever read in a book, and even fewer thoughts or feelings or interiority. the sex scenes read like stage direction. which is crazy bc they start fucking on page 42 and keep fucking every time they meet. they do NOT waste any time which was really refreshing. if only it was hot.

things mostly seem to happen to vineyard owner nicole— taking care of her dad (who dies quite early in the book) and the vineyard, her brother randomly shows up instead of her summoning him back to get some emotional closure (he doesn’t even show up for their father’s funeral), her gay bestie summons camille back after the third act breakup instead of nicole doing any emotional work and reaching out herself. everyone has at maximum one thing going on at a time that is neatly wrapped up before the next thing happens.

i think the 3.3 on goodreads is overly kind, but people seem to really love her other books so what do i know. maybe all these books ended up at the thrift bc their original owner was unlucky enough to somehow pick the worst book from each author and had to unload them.

-

watching

Cinderella (1950, dir. Geronimi, Jackson, and Luske) was on in the background while i was wrangling my bestie's children. probably the least scary (if you are not quite six or not quite two) disney princess movie. the bubble sequence makes me insane in a good way. i think this sort of thing is so easily replicated digitally that it looks unimpressive in 2025 but this shit is 75 years old!!! we were nineteen years away from landing on the fucking moon with a computer outpaced by my current microwave!!!

-

playing

having a real brain time with pokemon. i was gently bullied into playing the app two weeks ago by my best friend's husband after trying and failing multiple times to get into the actual video games, but after getting the 45 wins i needed to get the fanciest current event emblem i went ok great! i won pokemon! i am done with pokemon! and have sort of mentally checked it off in my head. anyway i loved my murkrow/toxicroak combo. loved to flip a coin. loved my darkness deck apparently.

the deck autobuild feature is really great bc i am able to basically hold my own while knowing nothing about pokemon other that what ive culturally osmosed. im assuming this is a pretty fun app if you like this sort of thing and your brain chemicals are balanced without outside assistance.

-

making

the baby i started this mint green baby blanket for is about to turn two in a couple weeks. better late than absolutely never i guess. my original notes called for 10 repeats but i think we're going to up that to 12, just finished the ninth repeat.

y/n's pov

I quickly made my way to Sasha, grabbing her hand and storming out of the studio as soon as Ms. Doreen called for a 30 minute break. "Loosen up y/n, your grip is death." She winced trying to pull her hand away. "I'm gonna kill him," I say as soon as we make it to the women's locker room.

"I'm seriously going to kill him Sasha. He is absolutely the worst. He's rude, he's inconsiderate, annoying, arrogant, stupid, childish, and he's going to be the reason why I don't graduate." I rant on calling him all sorts of names in the book.

"That bad?" She raises a brow, seated on the benches while I pace back and forth in front of her. "Worse."

"Maybe you can switch?" She suggested shrugging as she leans back on her hands. Maybe I can switch partners. "Im gonna go ask, wanna go get a snack from the vending machine after?"

"Yes, I'll be waiting here." She smiles, pulling out her phone. I nod and head back to the studio. When I exit the locker room, I see Eren entering the men's locker room with Connie. I glare his way as I make my way to Ms. Doreen's office.

"Hey Ms. Doreen? I have a request." I ask seeing her sitting at her desk and Coach Miche sitting at the chairs in front of her. They both look at me, and she looks at Miche as if she knows what I'm going to ask, before looking at me "Yes Y/n? And if it's what I think you're going to ask me, the answer is no."

"Please Ms. Doreen, he is insufferable. I can't work with him." I plead taking a seat next to Coach Miche. He chuckles leaning back in his seat. "Please, I'll do anything."

"Then you will work with him. Don't doubt yourself. Your dream is to open a dance studio yes?" She asks leaning forwards looking at me with a smile.

"Yes bu-"

"Then you will work with him. Think of this as practice. You will meet lots of insufferable parents or people where you will have no choice but to maintain a good image for the sake of your reputation and business." She cuts me off.

I cross my arms and lean back looking down, "Can I at least ask why I was paired with that man-child?"

"By random." She giggles, "I am sure that whatever you guys come up with, it will be outstanding. Now if there's nothing more, Coach Miche and I have things to discuss."

I sigh and get up from my seat walking out her office. "Hey one more thing, y/n?" Coach Miche calls out before I could leave.

I turn to look at him, "yes?"

"I'll talk to Eren about his attitude. Yes, he is a piece of work but I can assure you he isn't as bad as you think." He finishes offering a small smile. "Sure." I say back and leave the room rolling my eyes.

I make my way back to the locker room and see Sasha still in the same spot on her phone. I slump down next to her. "I take it your answer was no?" She glances at me. I pout and look at her, "I'm gonna fail."

"You won't fail," she laughs putting her phone down, "I believe in you."

"Thanks." I say dryly, "vending machine?"

"Yes let's go." She gets up immediately. We change out of our ballet shoes and put on our sneakers to walk to the vending machine. Sasha was telling me about the theme of the dance her and Connie decided.

"That sounds really cool Sasha, I definitely can't wait for the performance." I tell her with a smile. "Thank you, what about you?" She looks at me with a curious expression.

"Enemies, disconnection, all negative emotions. He pisses me off." I respond nearly growling remembering him not trying. "It would be cute if you guys did an enemies to lovers." She winks at me.

I physically flinch, "For dances like that, there needs to be a lot of emotions. From what I seen, he had none. It won't work."

"Whatever you say." She laughs. We approach the vending machines. I get a strawberry banana fruit smoothie from the drink vending machine and a chocolate almond protein bar from the snack one. I also get a pack of sour gummy worms. 

Sasha gets her items, and we walk back to the locker rooms. "Did you really snitch on me?" I hear someone ask from behind me, right before we entered the locker rooms. I knew exactly who it was.

I take a deep breath before turning around, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh please, so Coach comes out of no where telling me I'm going to be benched for the first game of the season if I don't take this seriously." Eren narrows his eyes stepping closer to me. I raise my head and glare back at him.

"For your information, I didn't snitch. I asked to get a different partner since obviously you are incapable of collaboration," I scoff, "But hey, if that's what it takes then so be it. You don't want to take this seriously, that bench is going to have your ass imprinted on it by the end of the season."

His jaw clenches, staring daggers into my eyes. My hands tighten around my smoothie and my snacks as we are angrily locked into each other's gaze before he smirks, "So be it then, brat."

My eyes widened and he walks off before I could say anything more. I close my eyes and breathe. "That was so intense." Sasha whispers from behind me.

I turn to look at her, she's eating her own candy watching us as if we were a movie. "Let's just go." I say walking in the locker room. We sit in silence, eating as much as we can before break is over.

<<<<•>>>>

One more hour left until we are done with class. Eren changed his attitude, sort of. Not really actually, but we made a bit of progress. We managed to get one move accomplished. It's a bit rough on his end but I can see he's trying...... I think.

"You need to loosen up." I mutter watching him try to do the step. He shoots me a glare, before shaking his head and trying again. I watch as he butchers the move again. "Stop right there, don't move." I tell him and he does so, mid-move.

I walk closer to him and place my hands on his arm, "You're too stiff here, you need to loosen up so you can move smoothly into the next move. Watch me."

I take a few seconds to do the move he was practicing, going slow on the part I was telling him about. "You see how I'm moving more fluidly," I look at him, "That way you can transition smoothly to this."

I finish up the dance part and look back at him. He mutters something I can't make out but he goes to try again. This time I stay quiet and watch him. When he finishes, he looks at me waiting for me to say something. He rolls his eyes, "Well?"

"That's better, we can move on for now." I say studying his expressions, "By next week, I'll have more of a choreography. But I do like the idea of the dance starting off like this. What do you think?"

He shrugs not really having anything to say. I sigh and turn my head to the side getting annoyed again. I take a moment to calm myself down. My temper could be high because of my lack of sleep, and knowing I have another shift to work right after this and not to mention my other class at night. Or it could just be from his attitude with this. I close my eyes and take a deep breath and look back at him. He still has that annoyed expression yet a blank stare.

"This won't work if you don't put emotions in your movements." I sigh looking down, maybe if I try to reason with him. "I know you aren't a big fan of dance but I am. This matters to me. We are going to be partners until finals, and we're going to perform this in front of a lot of people at the LCA show together. So get over whatever it is and show up." I say softly looking back at him. He still stares at me with more of a blank expression.

My jaw clenches and I feel my eyes burn. Over my dead body I will give this jerk the satisfaction knowing he made me cry. I turn quickly and practically stomp out of the studio to the bathrooms. Asshole.

As soon as I enter the bathroom, the tears fall out of my eyes. All of this for what. Working and going to school all day and night, just for what? To fail my final on my last year before I graduate? If I even can graduate with a big fat F as my grade.

Why did I have to be stuck with such a dick of a partner. A cold hearted bastard. My phone vibrates and I pull it out of my pants pocket. "Hello?" I answer.

"Hey y/n, it's Hange, can you come in a bit earlier? I know you're in class so if you can't it's totally fine." My boss from the flower shop answers.

"Uh yea, let me just go talk to my teacher. I'll text you if I'm able to." I respond into my phone, looking at myself in the mirror and wiping away my tears.

"Okay great please let me know asap. I see you soon." She replies and hangs up. I take a few more seconds to gather myself and make sure I look okay before walking back to the studio. I find my teacher talking to Eren who had his arms crossed. I clear m throat and walk up to them.

"Everything okay?" She asked me when I got closer. "Perfect." I sarcastically say glaring at Eren, then looking at her, "Is it okay if I leave? My boss asked if I could come in early."

"Let me see what you guys have so far and you can." She tells us stepping back. Eren grumbles something whereas I roll my eyes before we get into the first position of the dance. I start off the count down and we both start moving at different seconds.

It ended as quick as it started because someone doesn't want to take this seriously. "That's all." I say as we finished, "I'm going to work more on the moves once I get home."

"Nice, I do expect more moves for our next joint class. Take time to practice outside of class hours as well. You are welcome to leave y/n. Be safe and see you next class." She smiles and walks away to the next group.

I quickly make my way out of the studio wanting to avoid talking to Eren any more than I have to and make my way to the women's locker room. Once I'm in the hallway I pull out my phone to text my boss that I'll be there soon.

I hear footsteps behind me but I pay no mind to it as I continue to type out my next. "You didn't have to lie to get out of working with me." That annoying voice says.

"I didn't lie." I mumble not bothering to speak up or look back at him. "Yea right... so storming out of the room just to ask to leave early is just a coincidence." Eren snorts sarcastically.

I really am in no mood for this, especially seeing how my eye twitches. I ignore him and walk into the women's locker room.

Instead of hearing the door close behind me, I hear his footsteps again. "This is for women, last time I checked you aren't a la- well maybe you could pass judging by your attitude." I shrug walking to the locker holding my stuff.

"Oh shut up." Eren mutters, probably rolling his eyes too. "Why are you really leaving? Did I hurt your feelings that bad?" He taunts standing next to me when I stop.

"You'd like that wouldn't you." I scoff putting in my pin. "Yea I'd probably throw a whole party because of that." He responds with a stupid sarcastic tone.

I glance at him as I opened the locker and pull my shoes out. "I actually have to get to work asshole." I grunt pulling my bag out and finding my other work shirt. My cafe work shirt slips out as I pull out the flower shop one.

I put on the shirt and grab the cafe work shirt shoving it in my bag. Eren studies me for a while watching me change my shoes and place my ballet shoes in my bag. I slip on my jacket and slam the locker shut, sliding the lock in my bag.

"Like I said, next time we have class I'll have more to practice but right now I have to get to work." I tell him before moving past him, "you should really get out of here unless you want to be suspended."

I make my way towards the exit and before I leave, a hand stops me, "let go of me you creep." I pull my hand away, "relax I'm not gonna kiss you brat, I'm just giving you my number so we can practice outside of class." He says pulling out his phone.

"I don't want it." I cross my arms. "Well give me yours." He continues.

"No," I make a face and walk off. I don't want to miss the bus so I move quickly to exit the school grounds and head to the bus stop. Once I reach it, I pull my water out my bag and drink some. Hopefully I didn't miss the bus, or else I'd have to walk which is like 30 minutes away. It isn't far but I'd basically be walking in around the time I'm originally supposed to come in.

I go on my phone waiting and see a text from Sasha:

Heads up, gave eren your number, he said he forgot to ask for it so you guys could practice the dance

I'll see you soon pretty, love yaaa

I mentally scold myself for not telling her to not do that.

I send her a quick text basically saying I'll see her later and love her too. After I look up and see the bus down the street. I pull out my bus card and stand up, waiting for it to pull up.

<<<<•>>>>

"Hello, Welcome to Hange's Flowers, Plants, & Ceramics, if you need any assistance with anything please let me know. We also have a list of flowers that are on deal today, for everyday if you are interested in that." I call out hearing the bell ring as I was spraying some plants with water.

Usually I hear a reply of some sort but I didn't hear anything back. I lower the spray bottle and turn to find the customer. Hopefully it's a customer and like a robber or anything.

I walk around holding the spray bottle as if it's a weapon. I walk down the pathway and turn the corner only to bump into someone.

"Oh gosh, I'm so sor-" My words fall short.... Eren?

"Are you following me now?" I question him, my tone not sounding at all happy.

"Just seeing if you're actually working." He shrugs looking around. "I don't need to prove anything to you. How did you even know where to find me?" I frown, glaring at him.

"You shirt says your workplace, plus I need some flowers anyways." He says as if it's so casual. "Find a different shop." I scowl walking away to go back to watering the plants.

"I'm pretty sure your boss wouldn't like the idea of you turning away customers." He follows me sounding amused. "I'm pretty sure customers actually purchase things and not just stalk the workers." I counter turning my head to the side, not fully looking at him.

"Well if that's the case, I'd like to see that list of the flowers that are on deal today." He stands next to me as I'm spraying the Dieffenbachias.

I roll my eyes continue spraying the leaves. "I'm serious." He insists, "I want to buy some flowers, and I'd like your assistance for which kind."

"What are you looking for?" I ask, acquiescently looking at him. His piercing green eyes stare into mine. "What do you recommend for leaving at a grave." He mutters looking away for a second.

I scan his expression to see if it's he's joking- not that I think anyone would joke about visiting someone deceased- but still, I won't put it past him.

"The two I recommend are either Red Spider Lily's that symbolizes death, rebirth, and/or final goodbyes or Scorpion Grasses. Those symbolize remembrance, or memories." I tell him softly when I realize he isn't joking.

"Can I see them?" He asks, placing his hands in his front pockets of the sweats he was wearing. "Yea just wait at the counter." I tell him and walk behind the counter, him treading behind me. I walk down to grab a sample of both of the flowers, walking back to where he was standing.

I place the flowers on the counter, "Here they are."

He looks at both of the flowers, picking them up and expecting them gently. "I will say if who your visiting is a family member close to you I suggest the Scorpion Grasses, it's more of a forget me not flower, versus the  Spider Lilys, which are a one last goodbye. At least that's how I interpret it." I tell him watching as he looks back at me.

He clears his throat, "Scorpion Grasses it is then, I'll get half a dozen."

"Alright, give me a few minutes." I say taking back the samples. I begin to prepare the flowers, adding our usual arrangement add-ins before wrapping it up nicely and adding a bow.

I show him the flower arrangement, "Is this okay?"

He stares at it with an unreadable expression, "yea it's fine." He finally answers, pulling out his card.

"Your tota-"

"Just ring it up." He cuts me off. He really needs to stop doing that. I'm so close to charging him the total and leaving me a $100 tip for dealing with him. I hold in my sigh and put the total amount on the computer, watching as he taps his card and puts in his pin.

"My condolences." I offer giving him the flower arrangement. He looks at me for a few seconds before walking away, leaving the store.

Rude, not even a thank you.

I continue doing my regular task at the shop, sweeping, cleaning the counters, watering the plants, tidying up the arrangements area. There were a few orders of arrangements I had to make while I wait for the guy who delivers the flowers to come back. I take the time to write the handwritten notes some of the orders had, placing them in the correct flower bundle.

"Hey y/n, got those orders ready?" Moblit, Hange's husband, who is also the flower delivery driver, walks in the store. "Yes, everything is all packed up and ready. How are you?" I smile walking over to the box where the flowers carefully sat up in.

"Good, this is the last of the delivers and after I'm done for the day. Hange has you closing again?" He asks taking the box gently.

"Yes, but I'll be here after, my last class of the day is online." I tell him walking from behind the counter to help him open the door.

"Thank you." He says as he walks past me, placing the box on top of the van and opening the passenger door. "It's supposed to rain really hard tonight, let me know if you need a ride home."

"I will. Thank you Moblit, I'll see you later." I smile as I walk back into the shop. I usually stay after closing hours to attend my class if it's online. Hange knows and doesn't mind as long as I lock up and keep it tidy. There's a nice chill spot in the back where I hang out so it's very cozy. Especially with the plants and flowers.

I go back behind the counter and check my phone. I see I had a text from an unknown number about an hour ago.

xxx-xxx-xxxx Thanks

I knew who it was from Sasha's text message earlier. I bite my lip debating if I should reply. Even if I do, what should I say.

Don't mention it

<<<<•>>>>

An hour and a half into this class and I'm growing more tired by the second. I have my iPad propped up on the counter as I clean up in the front. The doors are locked and the sign saying we're closed is flipped over. Learning about plants is good minor to have but Im just so sleepy. The rain isn't helping either.

"Alright class, I will give you the rest of the class to work on your assignments. Remember everything is due in two days." The teacher speaks through my iPad.

I turn down my volume on my iPad and made sure my camera was off and on mute again. I decided to practice the choreography, it'll wake me up a bit. I find my headphone feom my bag and connect it to my phone. (Play Arno's Waltz Aalampour)

I listen to the song fully thinking of possible moves, until it plays again. I start moving my body working on Eren's part first. Maybe Sasha can help me out once I figure out the choreography so I can see both parts at the same time.

I chose this song specifically for the many different tempos the song changes to. How it embodies a sort of disconnection and a feel of negative emotions, exactly how I feel towards Eren. The song replays on repeat as I continue to allow my body to just flow to it. Letting it just fully take over my mind, as I just dance.

I switch to my part of the dance, to see if I can correspond any moves together. As I'm in the middle of doing a spin, I see a shadowy figure outside the doors knocking. I paused music and pull my headphones down walking closer to let whoever it is that we are closed.

As I approach the doors, I recognize who it is, Eren.

"We're closed." I say through the doors and point at the sign. He knocks again pulling out his phone. I soon hear my phone ring through my headphones. Reluctantly I answer, still staring at him through the glass doors of the shop.

"What?"

"Let me in." 

"We're closed, or can you not read as well?"

"I don't care, open up."

"No." I hang up and turn away. He calls again. I decline the call through my headphones and he calls once more. I growl turning around, answering.

"We are closed."

"I said I didn't care."

"What do you want!" I walk closer to the doors glaring at him.

"To practice."

"We'll practice next class."

"We can practice now."

"Not happening."

"Weren't you the one who was begging me to take this seriously, and now that I'm trying to, you don't want to."

"First off, I wasn't begging. Secondly, we can't practice here, you'll knock over the flowers and it'll come out of my paycheck. I can't afford that."

"Then let's go to the school."

"Are you crazy, it's raining hard and I don't want to wait in the rain for the bus just to go to the school."

"Do you not own a car?"

"No, but that's beside the point. I have to get up at 4 to make it to my other job at 5. I need to sleep."

"I'll take you."

"Absolutely not."

"Just open the doors, like you said it's raining hard."

I shut my eyes and breathe. I'm gonna kill him. I hang up on my headphones and end up opening the door, letting him come in.

"Why all of a sudden you care?" I question him as soon as he walks in. "I don't, but I also don't want to be benched for the first game." He rolls his eyes.

"So you do." I smirk closing and locking the doors again. "I don't."

"Sure." I snort as I walk past him to my iPad. I privately message my teacher asking if I can be excused to leave, considering I turned in all my assignments due already. She approves it and I leave the class and turn my iPad off.

"We are not practicing today, I haven't had time to come up with a choreography." I say looking at him.

"What was that you were doing before then?" He asked leaning against the counter. How long was he out there?

"Nothing set. Did you even listen to the song we are dancing to?" I reply grabbing my laptop and heading to the back to get my stuff. Of course, he follows behind entering the backroom.

"No."

"I- nevermind." I sigh gathering my stuff and putting on my hoodie. "I'm going home. We can practice tomorrow night. And be sure to actually listen to the song." I say turning off the lights in the back. "Let's go." I tell him waiting for him to go back to the front so I can lock this door.

He's waiting at the front of the shop and I turn off the lights in the front and head to unlock the doors. We both exit the flower shop and I lock it up from the outside.

I knew it was raining already but when I turned around, it was raining really heavy. I'm going to be completely drenched by the time I get home.

"How are you getting home?" He asked watching as I stared at the rain hit the floor. "The same way I always get around, the bus." I mutter not looking at him. "I'll give you a ride, come on." He says grabbing my wrist and pulling me along with him, not giving me a chance to decline.

🎇 Happy New Year Friends!! 🎇

From the Diary of Virginia Woolf: January 2, 1931: Here are my resolutions for the next 3 months; the next lap of the year. To have none. Not to be tied. To be free & kindly with myself, not goading it to parties: to sit rather privately reading in the studio. Sometimes to read, sometimes not to read. To go out yes—but stay at home in spite of being asked. As for clothes, to buy good ones.

For today's return to WTW, i thought it might be fun to celebrate the ways in which we survive and manage to find peace and happiness in our one precious life here on Earth. And so...

[trashworldblog]

What is hmbomberguy (I can’t spell) ur reblogs are making me so curious but I cannot handle getting into more content/ content drama rn.

hi! yes. so hbomberguy is one of those 2hr long video- twice a year or less youtubers. who make content exploring a topic (like plagerism on youtube, vaccines and autism, etc).

his new video talks about video essay type youtubers who steal all their writing from documentries, books, articles, etc. and makes thousands of dollars off of other peoples work.

james sommerton is the main focus of the video, but he also shows how iiluminaughtii stole from documentries (and even listed the piriting site she watched it from as a source? lol) and internet historian stole an entire article, format, visuals, and all, and got 10 million views for it (and stole so much his video got taken down) and theres this other video game guy that got hired at ign and the got fired from ign for piriting and is a homophobic right wing guy?? (details are fuzzy, this is a 4 hour video i watched once, forgive me).

um. but, the james sommerton stuff just gets crazier and crazier the way this guy just makes a ton of money by lying to his community. he ends up accidently stealing work from one of his patreon members (he stole on purpose, i assume he didnt know who he was stealing from was a patron). he asked and got thousands of dollars to mame a fake (?) film studio that has made no films, and only says theyre in preproduction for a new film every 10 months. he also, yknow, steals from queer voices, basically harming his own community for profit. and when he's called out for stealing, he either shouts homophobia or shifts the blame to his co writer, who probably knows nothing about the plagerism.

anyways. its a bit of a drama thing. but honestly its a lot about how and why we should care about the art and media we consume online, and just how many people who look like they have their life together and are making lots and lots of content, seemingly on their own or close, actually are just stealing from talented people. it heals a bit of that imposter syndrome for people that do make genuine content online, and shows the consumers what making too much too quick actually means for the content they enjoy. the get the equivalent of meat grinded facts mixed with misinformation, subtly changed quotes, and 0 sources, or a laundry list of unorganized and unlabled sources if they want to learn more.

also i like this tweet. summarizes it well for me.

um. but thats my thoughts on it. i liked it because it reminds me that people who are churning out content one-man-show style aren't making the greatest stuff. i struggle with feeling like my work takes too long. but this was a great reminder that im actually making something good (i hope!), or at least, something that is truely coming from me. so its gonna take time to do it. but it'll be worth it because it'll be coming from me. (and also good. hopefully)

also the money hbomberguy is making off this video is going to the people james stole from. so thats really nice.

[cowbot-lumberjane]

WOAGH I got tagged by @elliegoose to do a thingy!

now the tag game was to introduce yourself with:

one tv show

one movie

one album

one video game

I, however, liked that they did two and I am ALSO cute and get to do whatever I want so im gonna do two, too.

TV shows: The Venture Bros. and Hilda

talk about opposite ends of the spectrum, eh? Now Venture Bros. will always come with an asterisk, that being that it's an Adult Swim show that was created in the early 2000s by two white guys. Its comedy, especially in earlier seasons, can be unsavory. I'm a big believer in things being imperfect though. Not every show can live up to every standard, and sometimes you just need to roll your eyes at jokes that were made 10-20 years ago. If you can get past that what you get is an excellent and genuinely fun world full of Spyfi and Superhero parodies with a good story to boot.

Hilda, on the other hand, is a show for younger audiences based on a kids book series that largely has to do with various pieces of Scandinavian folklore. I've watched Hilda all the way through twice, once on my own as it was coming out and then once with my wife, and its just so so so lovely. The colour tones of red blue yellow and white, the delightful music, the adorable cast of characters and creatures, its such a good time. One of the best cozy up and just vibe it out shows imo. In my top 5 for sure.

Movies: Everything, Everywhere, All at once and Wolf Children.

What hasn't been said about EEAAO? It won awards that it damn well deserved, its got a perfect cast, it makes me cry every time I watch it. A compelling story about family and change, and the monumental difficulties that can come with them, as well as how different people survive hardships in their life, all wrapped up in the most batshit thing you've ever seen. Clair De Lune, THE SONG I GOT MY NAME FROM, is the main theme and it makes me tear up every time. In every universe, I would love to do laundry and taxes with you, and watch this movie.

Wolf Children isn't far off from that vein. I consider it to be Studio Chizu's magnum opus and I don't say that lightly. From the presentation and voice cast to the music and gorgeous art used in the movie, not even to MENTION how good the story about family, change, growing up, and letting go is, if you don't cry in the first 30 mins you should evaluate your emotional status. This movie means so much to me, its such a gorgeous story, and more people should know about it. Studio Chizu doesn't have a single miss in my opinion, just lesser and greater movies. Wolf Children is hands down the greatest.

Albums: Get Lonely by The Mountain Goats and No Dogs Allowed by Sidney Gish

What??? Clair's top two isn't DnB or something techno related???? Nah dog, I get sad a lot and have a thing for poetry. Get lonely was an album I listened to in some of the worst years of my adult life. I was 20 living with my family who made me miserable in a state that was (and still is) trying to get rid of people like me, and I had very little things that were mine. Walking around downtown Bartow, Florida, in the two weeks of winter that hell state gets while listening to John Darniel sing about soft agonies while watching my breath dissipate into the air? That was mine, and it always will be. TMG in general is I think my favourite band. The poetry on display in every one of their songs is just, too beautiful for my dumb ass to put in any meaningful way.

No Dogs Allowed was an album I listened to while working a midnight shift job I hated while also living with my family. Its an upbeat, quirky, kind of melancholy romp with songs that bring me back to driving from Bartow to Lakeland hoping I could stop myself from either killing myself or fucking up my friendships, whichever came first. Spoiler alert, I'm still alive. It also reminds me of the last big thing I ever did with my sibling before I left Florida for good, which was go to the Tampa Bay Aquarium with them. Several songs from the album were on the playlist I made for us, and hearing them always makes me want to shoot them a message to see if they're doing okay.

Video Games: Night in the woods and Final Fantasy XIV Online

Night in the woods is very, very near and dear to my heart. I honestly don't know what to say. If you've played it you know how good it is. How well written the story of Mae and her mental health crisis is. How it goes over things like poverty and trying to get by/make a better life. Family struggles that they don't talk to you about, small hometown decay that seeps into your every memory until the place you grew up in looks like a collection of distorted rotting shapes. I play it once a year in the fall, and each time I do its like seeing an old friend again. At the end of everything, hold onto everything.

Final Fantasy XIV Online is a game you can play with your friends. I could go on and on and on about how I have 1300 hours in this game and how I met some good friends on it, and how important it is to me as a piece of writing and a community and an experience. But we'd be here all day. FFXIV was there for me in some very tough times. I met new people, I grew distant from others, I have regrets and joys that I still carry with me. If you can get into it with the right people, the game really is something special. Its something to be shared, its a bustling community with all the edges that come with that, its a world where you can be a 7ft. tall elf with green eyes and white hair, and its a part of me.

As for who I wanna tag: @problematicmilf , @ninefoldrin , @baphomets-hairy-bonkhonagahoogs , @mobileleprechaun , and anyone who sees this and wants to do it too. This was fun! Hope I don't seem too lame lol.

[honestmouse20]

okay now that all 10 episodes are out on youtube in english, Ful lthoughts on monkie kid s5! spoilers under the cut :)

So, the big one. I really hardly notice the chance in animiation studio. I still see people being upset about it and saying its worse. But if no one had told me, I wouldn't have noticed.

On to the Fun stuff (pain)

This season is so freaking heartbeaking yall. Like MK has always felt like things were His fault, that he was bringing the chaos to the world. And then his Worst fear comes true. Nyua tells him that she created him For that reason. He exists for taht sacrafice and the demon (what's his name? the guy at the end?) only sped things up. Woke him up early. That's Insane! He really is the beginning of the end. And even when he Tried to do the right thing, sacrafice himself so everyone else would be safe, the universe/gods/whatever still were going to take his sacrafice and rewrite the world again anyway. And that's what Gets me about this season. Bc yeah MK listens at first and sacrafices himself. But the seccond he learns they've been pulling his strings this whole time and that his friends Won't be safe, he realizes taht he's still in control. He goes back to spend their last moments with his family and That ends up being waht saves everything. They share the power and prove that they don't need someone else calling every shot. it's just... a Lot for a lego show and im so so pleased with it.

Second thing! Uh we need to talk about Wukong in episode 9 and 10 bc oooh boy. NOt only was the man who was Terrified of dying to the point of becoming multiple times over imortal and taking his name out of the book of the dead WILLING to die so that MK wouldn't. But he fought MK with what I am assuming was his full power for the first time. MK wasn't holding back either. And that means a lot I think. MK is finally stronger (or maybe AS strong as him). Also the fact that MK used the circlet on him guts me everytime.

Also, adding onto the whole Wukong those last two episodes. What the Hell were those screams when MK 'dies'??? I have never heard something like that in a lego show. it gave me Chills. Like I fully expected him to yk get angry get Mean again but not just LIke That. That was so real sounding. Props to his va bc Shit dudes

third thing! Speaking of VA's god MK's was doing Just as good. All those little moments where his voice wavers as he comes to belive that sacraficing himself is the only way. God and the way his voice sounds as he tells Piggsy that 'jsut because it's hard doesn't mean it's not the right thing' (or something along those lines). This season Hurt me so much yall. Especially as MK chose to come back and Wukong catches him. And he just keeps telling him he's okay??? PAIN??

Oh and at the end when MK is just crying??? IM fine. Yep. His voice actor really nailed all of this. 10/10

Fourth thing! I said it in my other post but uhhhh Macaque?? He sacrafices himself Twice in this season. First into the Pagoda and then by using up a lot of his strength getting them all out of those bindings so SWK can save MK. For all their bickering this season (some might say like an old married couple) Maqaque and Wukong really do seem to be making up yk? and i mean not to mention at the end when they all think it's over and Wukong reaches for him????

Fifth! Are we gonna talk about the memory demon thign showing Wukong The fight with Macaque???? Like of all the shitty/awful things he's done and lived through, That is what the demon shows him to hurt him the most. And it is the Most painful thing bc MK's is all about his monkie side and sacraficing himself. And that's His biggest fear. SO it makes sense that Wukong( and the others) were shown Their worst memories. And yk the fact taht after he's cut free there are Tears in his eyes??? god Im gonna have to watch this season a few more times to pick out all the little details cause the tears thing I only noticed bc someone pointed it out in the comments on the video i was watching.

Final thoughts lol

This season was Incredible! Not only did everything MK has been through Finally catch up with him, something they've been hinting at since s1, but it did in a very satisfying way. I was on the edge of my seat all through the 9th and 10th episodes. I genuinly didn't know who was gonna do the sacrafice. And then when MK jumpped in, I was in awe bc this is a lego show. They wouldn't kill the main charcter. But I really like how they got around that. BC it doesn't Feel like getting around it. It feels like the thing mk Would have done. IF the goddess had told him that his friends were safe, MK would have stayed. 100%. The way his voice breaks as his knees give out when he realizes (incorectly) that they're safe. He'd have died to save them. The only reason he comes back is bc it was a pointless sacrafice.

The season as a whole was also really good. I was a bit confused why it was so easy for MK to get al the stones but then it was revealed that it was Meant to be. This was supposed to be his destiny so things litterally fell into his lap. That was a really nice touch I think. I also really loved all the character interactions! Piggsy calling him son Repeatedly. MK saying he has a ton of dads. Just. Big emphasis on family and i Can't Wait to see how MK's almost sacrafice is gonna change things in following seasons! Bc that was a suicide attempt guys. He saw a world better without him in it and tried to die. if you take away all the fancy wording that's what it is. And ik lego would never yk Say that. but they're already tackling bigger themes than they have before (in this show and dreams and ninjago) so I have faith that they'll go somewhere with this too. Clearly Mk is still terrified and hurt by everything so I really hope eveyrone will come together to try and help him through all this. And yk the next big bad. Can Chaos be a big bad??? I'm so excited for S6!

Previous part:

trying to get past with everything, he finished up his clients tattoo before heading out with them and also to see how many clients he's left with. noticing there weren't anymore, realising that he was basically done with work.

he does his work with his clients with you and only you on his mind. sometimes when the clients would try to make up small conversations with him, he'd zone out while you consume his thoughts. honestly, he himself couldn't figure out why his brain was so occupied with you.

did Y/n have her lunch? should I ask her? but it's already 4pm. maybe we could have a late lunch and early dinner? two dates in one day, Jungkook are you in the right state of mind???? you have to make sure she doesn't find out how whipped you are, not give it to her served up in a platter!

he mentally slaps himself and weirdly zones to hear his co-worker telling him how lucky he is that he was already done with his clients today.

maybe I should text her saying my shift is over. we still have to talk about everything... hm.... that's right. remember Kookie, we have to look cool in front of her!

he huffs softly in determination and slings his bag up his shoulder.

"well im gonna go, I have work to do."

more like a Y/n to do. but that's for later.

Jungkook walks towards the register and wishes his co-workers goodbye. he goes out of the studio, taking out his phone to text you that he got off of work early.

*Ding!*

Y/n: that's nice! I just finished up a meeting too :D

Jungkook: great! are you free now?

Y/n: yesss. you too?

Jungkook: mhm yea

Y/n: okay then lmk if you have any suggestions on where you want to go tonight :))))

Jungkook: are you interested in fancy or not so fancy tonight?

Y/n: hmm we could have fancy honestly.

Jungkook: alright! I have this amazing place in mind. the food there is really good! :D

Y/n: great! then we can go there :)))))

Jungkook: I'll book a reservation for 7 then?

Y/n: works!

Jungkook: great! text me your address so I can come pick you up ;)

"SHIT NO WRONG EMOJI!" He groans but then sees you'd already seen it and were starting to type a reply. "please don't call us off. please don't call us off." he chants when his phone dings again to your notification.

Y/n: okay thank you! :D

he sighs loudly while leaning against his car at your reply thanking all the powers of the universe. he climbs in and starts driving home so he could pick an outfit for tonight. he quickly goes up to his apartment and starts going through all his clothes, pulling out whatever he thought would make him look really cool and throwing it towards his bed.

meanwhile on the other side you were busy finishing up an article for a recent project. after done finishing it, you proof-read it and mail it to your boss. sighing you stretch back against your chair and look at the time.

"Lets get readyy~" You stand up and go to start picking out clothes for the night.

in the end, Jungkook decides to wear a pair of baggy jeans with a tank top and a leather jacket. perfect attire cause it was a little cold out. meanwhile you pick out a nearly same outfit but just with a skirt.

you make sure to grab your coat because it was cold out and drop it on your couch along with your purse. going to the vanity you do simple makeup and take a few pictures of yourself when Jungkook's text pops up.

*Ding!*

Jungkook: I'm leaving to come pick you up

Y/n: okayy see you soon! ^^

you put your phone down and check yourself out to give last final touches and then head out to the kitchen. getting yourself a glass of water you chug it down and go to the living room to put your shoes on.

putting on your coat and taking hold of your purse you sling it over your shoulder, taking a few pictures in the final outfit when someone rings the doorbell.

you walk over to it and open the door to see Jungkook standing there looking ever so fine with a bouquet of flowers in his hands and a pretty smile.

"hey." he keeps smiling as you smile back.

"hey." You turn the lights in your apartment off and step out with him.

"these are for you." He passes you the flower.

"thank you so much." You laugh softly and walk with him to his car.

he opens the door to his car for you and hands you a blanket from the backseat to place on your lap, while you thank him again giving him the flowers so he could put them in the backseat. he climbs in too and starts the car, driving to the restaurant you guys talked about earlier.

"you can play any song you like." he holds out his phone as you take it and put on a few of your favorite songs as he widens his eyes at the similar music taste.

"I listen to these songs too!" He smiles brightly at you as you smile back.

"no you don't!"

"Yes I do! I'll show you my playlist later." he says and you both laugh softly at the similarities between you two while Jungkook pulls into the valet service at the restaurant.

he climbs out of the car and comes to your side to open the door for you, as you thank him again and step out waiting for him while he gives the keys to the valet service and takes the ticket from them.

he leads you in and a waiter comes to take you both to your table. you were kinda taken aback by how the workers already knew him and didn't even ask him much questions. he pulls out a chair for you and you both sit down.

"wow this place is really packed." You talk a little loudly because of how much noise there was in the restaurant.

"yea that's cause it's a Friday, and on Fridays they have this special lobster roll which is really famous." he takes the menu from the waiter while you do the same.

"yea I remember coming here to have just that." You laugh and he smiles at you.

"do you mind if I sit next to you? it's too loud so i can't really hear you." He suggests as you were a little taken aback but decide to give in.

"no yea sure go ahead." You nod shyly as he shifts his chair so that it's right next to yours. he wasn't too close but he was still close enough for you to smell his amazing perfume.

"have you decided what you're having?" he opens the menu again.

"mhm. I'm thinking of getting the chicken steak. what about you?" You turn your head to look at him.

"i was thinking about getting fettuccine alfredo. would you like to have some wine?" he flips through the menu before taking a glance at you.

"sure i saw they have Ms Red on the menu." You say flipping through and showing him as he nods and waves down the waiter. he gives both of your orders and the waiter brings out the wine for both of you first.

"i know nothing much happened today but, how was your day?" he chuckles and so do you.

"well, like you said nothing much. after getting home i got some work done, attended some meetings. what about you? anything surprising happen in your life today?" You look back at him and take a sip from your drink.

"not really i just had quite a few clients. even then it seemed like a long day, cause today just felt like it wasn't it. except for the part where we met again tho, i dont regret that." you start laughing at his words as he smiles while watching you.

"i think the same way." you smile while looking at him and you both take a few sips from your drinks.

the waiter comes and places the food on the table as you look at the food in excitement. he giggles softly while looking at you looking like a child who got offered her favorite ice-cream.

"eat well~" You wish out of habit and start eating.

"You too." he smiles and starts eating, taking peeks and glances at you to see your reaction to the food. you both finish up half of your food in comfortable silence with just the hustle bustle around you as the noise you two could hear.

"ah its been so long since I've had such good food." you say wiping your face and smiling in satisfaction.

"me too. do you wanna try some of mine?" he offers and you agree. you both switch plates and continue eating in silence again, both surrounded by the amazing taste coating your mouths, with the voices of everyone else acting as a white noise.

after done eating you both split the check and head out of the restaurant. he gets his car from the valet service and you both get in and he starts driving back to your place.

"oh look an ice-cream truck." you point when he stops the car at the red light.

"you wanna get some?" he asks while looking at the ice-cream truck you pointed at.

"sure." You smile and he smiles back before parking nearby the truck and you both step out to get some ice-cream. after buying the ice-creams you both decide to walk in a nearby park while eating it and talk about random things.

"so what are your plans after you get home?" You ask and look up at him.

"I don't know. maybe i'll just go to sleep. what about you?" he looks back at you while taking a bite from his ice cream.

"well there's this new horror movie i found out about, so I was thinking of watching it tonight." He nods along with you. "do you like horror movies?"

"yea a lot."

"them maybe we can watch the movie together. the trailer was really good you know?" You shrug and take a bite from your ice cream.

"really? i-i mean sure! yea i wont mind." he clears his throat and tries to act cool even though he was wishing the date wouldn't end.

you both walk around some more and walk back to his car after finishing the ice-cream. he drives back to your place, you leading him upstairs and inside.

"nice place." he says while you both take your shoes off and walk in.

"thank you." you smile and go to the kitchen to get two glasses of water for both of you. he settles down on the couch as you pass the glass of water to him and he thanks you before taking a sip.

you put the movie on and sit down next to him as you both quietly watch the movie. you both shift in your seats when the couple in the movie start kissing and having hard-core sex on the screen. you try to act cool and gulp unknowingly looking down at Jungkook's lap to see a boner growing.

didn't know they'd have a literal porno for a movie

Jungkook takes a glance at you and realises you looking at his boner and tries to hide it in the most subtle way possible. he fails because he couldn't really move too much without getting caught by you and decided to just give in, face burning in embarrassment.

he scratches the back of his neck and was about to say something to shift your attention, but ends up choking and starts coughing.

"i- are you okay??" You pat his back while he leans forward and takes hold of his glass of water and drinks some of it. he calms down and sighs as you look at him in concern.

"Im okay." he laughs softly and nods getting comfortable on the couch again.

"I'm gonna go get some more water." you nod, standing up from the couch.

you take your glass along with his and fill it up but just as you take a sip you feel it go down the wrong pipe and start coughing while placing the glass back on the kitchen island and accidentally spilling some of it.

"are you okay??" He rushes to you and pats you back while you calm yourself down. you both end up laughing at how awkward you two were being and fell the atmosphere lighten.

"Lemme help you clean this up." he says grabbing a few paper towels and passing some to you too as you both start cleaning up the water you spilt. you try not to stare too much because you just realised he'd taken his jacket off and god did he look even more attractive with all his tattoos showing.

your hands brush against each other a few times causing you two to exchange glances but after it happened for the third time, it was as if you two couldn't take your eyes off of each other. unknowingly leaning in and end up pressing your lips against each other, lips chasing one another a little too hungrily.

the wet paper towels long forgotten sit on the kitchen island, as Jungkook wraps his arms around your waist to pull you closer and lifts you up by the back of your thighs and places you right next to them. pressing the front of his body against yours, he rubs his hands on your thighs toying with your top and bottom lip repeatedly while you wrap your arms around his neck.

you wrap your legs around the back of his and pull him closer feeling him poke his tongue softly against your lips asking for entrance, which you give. you rub your tongue against his causing him to moan in your mouth which pulls one out of you too and you both lose it.

fuck, that was hot.

you both hold onto each other tighter and continue kissing until the air runs out and you're pulling away to catch a breath. you see him chase after your lips, causing a new batch of butterflies to be released in your tummy as he leans in to press multiple pecks against them.

he moves down to your chin, then your jaw and then starts leaving soft open mouth kisses all over your neck trying to find that one spot that will have you squirming and moaning under him. you gasp when he bites down on the right side of your neck, softly licking and sucking on the skin while you move your hands to his hair and play with it softly moaning and humming here and there.

he pulls your jacket off and pushes himself against you more, as if trying to feel you more while moving to a different part of your neck to leave another mark. he moves back a little, staring at the work of art he left on your neck feeling an ounce of satisfaction weight his chest and leans back in to press his lips against yours.

this time you pull away and kiss down his neck, tugging onto his hair to make it lean back so you can have space to work your magic. you kissing, biting and sucking onto his skin had him groaning and moaning while rubbing his hands up and down your thighs, shifting higher up your skirt each time.

every kiss, every hickey you left on his skin made him feel more and more impatient to feel you. to have you feel him. and fuck, was he gonna give it to you good today. he was ready to give it to you like he'd never given it to anyone, ever.

when you pull away from his neck, he immediately catches your lips against his and picks you up taking you to the couch with him without breaking the kiss. sitting down, he makes you straddle his lap and continues rubbing his hands against your soft skin on your thighs.

"can I take this off?" he pants while tugging onto your tanktop and staring at your lips.

"Yes." you nod softly letting him swiftly take it off of you before smashing your lips against his immediately. it was as if his lips were a drug you were addicted to and it was hard for Jungkook to not feel the same way, literally.

rubbing his hands on your skin he brings it up to the hook of your bra, lingering there as if asking you for permission as you pant a "yea" against his lips and continue kissing him while he takes it off of you.

grabbing one of your boobs softly he kneads it, feeling and taking in its infinite softness. God they felt so soft that he could basically sleep on them, and maybe he would later tonight.

your nipples pebble against his palm as he holds and tugs onto it with his index finger and thumb, emitting yet another moan from you which went straight to his already rock hard cock. you pull away from him and pull his tank top off of him too as this time he leads down to your neck, pressing kisses and leading lower to your chest.

taking your other breast in his mouth, he sucks on it circling the nipple with his tongue as you twitch above him and grip onto his hair. he plays with your other breast and continues using his mouth on the other as you moan softly and arch your back into his mouth from time to time.

he moves his other hand up your thigh and rubs his thumb against your inner thigh, lips and hand still playing with your breasts that he just couldn't seem to get enough of. he leaves a few hickeys on them too and comes back up to your lips.

he wraps his arm around your waist to hold you close against him, as you crane your neck and press kisses against his lips causing him to smile which causes you to smile too. he rubs his hands on your thighs and moves it to your ass, pushing you closer and pressing you down softly against his hard-on.

you rub yourself against him pressing your lips harder against his as he keeps his hand on your ass making you move against him. he brings his hand forward and slips it to your middle, rubbing his fingers softly on you causing you to gasp against his lips.

you unknowingly start moving your hips against his hand, pressing down just trying to find more friction. he understands what you want and moves your panties to the side and slips his middle and ring finger against your folds making you moan softly.

you were already so wet and were coating his fingers as he rubs the tip of his fingers in circles against your bud making you pull away from his lips and lean against him, moaning out his name. you hide your face in his neck and moan whilst still moving your hips against his fingers.

he moves his fingers down and circles your entrance before pushing them in slowly as you gasp and hold onto him while sitting up straight on his lap. he starts moving his fingers as you throw your head back when his fingers brush against that one spot while he leans in to press kisses on your skin knowing what he's doing is making you feel good.

"there... right there... yea!" you moan out leaning against him again and hide your face in his neck. he whispers a soft "yea?" in your hair while moving his fingers in the same way you asked, but faster.

"mmph- fuck!" you moan and grip onto his hair tightly as you cum on his fingers. he helps you ride out your high while rubbing his fingers on your clit as you hum and twitch here and there due to the aftershocks. he brings his hand up and licks it clean, when you suddenly press your lips against him to taste yourself against them.

you grind against him again while rubbing your tongue against his as you groans against your mouth while holding onto your hips. you move off of his lap and get on your knees in between his legs, pulling his pants and boxers off and immediately take hold of him.

he places his hand on your head as you lick up and down his length, coating it with your saliva before finally taking him in your mouth. bobbing your head up and down you move your hand against whatever you weren't taking in as he groans above you, hand taking hold of your hair.

he feels you go deeper until he's down your throat and gulp around him which causes him to throw his head back and moan. rubbing your tongue against the underside of his dick whilst still bobbing your head up and down on him, you make him feel so good that he couldn't stop his moans.

soon ending up cumming down your throat he unknowingly holds your head down on him so that you're nose is pressed against his pelvis. gulping down all his cum you pull away and lick your lips as he leans down and presses his lips against yours.

you both stand up from the couch and stumble to your bedroom while kissing and undressing each other some more when he picks you up and climbs on the bed before dropping you down, his lips never leaving yours. he places his hands on each sides of your head against the mattress, while you hold his hips close to yours with your legs wrapped around his waist.

he pulls away and presses kisses on your cheeks and then moves down to your neck while positioning himself in front of your entrance and slowly pushes in. you hold onto his shoulders tightly closing your eyes and feel him stretch you out so perfectly.

he presses his forehead against yours and spreads your legs out more by the back of your thighs and pulls out just to push back in with a low moan. you gasp starting to move your hips along with his once he finds a steady pace. you both moan against each others mouths while continuing to feel so good.

he fastens his pace and leans back just to take hold of your hips and pistoning his hips against yours repeatedly. you grip onto the sheets around you and moan his name loudly while he does the same. shifting his hips a little, he moves your legs over his shoulders and continues thrusting in and out of you at a ridiculously fast pace.

pulling out he flips you over and manhandles you into his desired position and pushes in again, losing complete sense of reality and keeps thrusting into you so hard that it has you getting pushed forward repeatedly. taking hold of the back of your neck he holds you down while continuing to move in and out of you while moaning and groaning your name.

he angles his hips a little differently and you arch your back against the mattress while moaning out loud because the tip of his dick hits your g-spot.

"there you are." he pants and sinks his nails into your hips while repeatedly brushing against your g-spot and moving inside you.

"f-f-uck!" He pulls onto your hair while his other hand spanks your ass, gripping onto the flesh staring as it bounces upon meeting his hips. you bite down on your lip harshly only to end up feeling Jungkook's palm come in contact with your ass harshly.

"Dont you dare hold your voice in." he tugs onto your hair while gritting. you moan out earning a "good girl" from him as he keeps thrusting in and out of you harshly. you feel your high approaching quickly when his hand rubs its way down your front and starts rubbing against your bud.

your eyes roll back into your head as you twitch harshly and squirt with your high hitting you simultaneously. he helps you ride out your high, his hitting him too because of how good you squeezed him.

you both lose track of time soon, not being able to get enough of each other as you find yourself sitting on his lap and riding him while he arches his back and moans while holding onto your hips and cumming inside you for the nth time tonight. leaning down you kiss him softly and move off of him, feeling him immediately wrap you up in his arms and hold you close.

"that was so good." he pulls away and presses multiple kisses all over your face while his hands rub against your skin here and there. you giggle and nod shifting closer to him, pulling the comforter to cover both of you.

he shifts closer and lays his head against your chest as you play with his hair and let out a soft sigh. wrapping his arms around your waist, he holds you close to him and you both fall asleep.

Selling My Car To Pay For Album

I am scared because it is a big rash decision so im going to list out the positives!

Things I can do on my new commute that I couldn't do when I was sitting in traffic:

Write!!!! Free write, poetry, script work songs!!

No more voice notes for lyric ideas and also I have an entire musical I'm committed to working on behind the scenes of recording this album.

Read!!! I have a huge list of books I want to read that I own, I also want to start reading musical scripts to get an understanding of how they are structures

Rest!!!! For an hour and a half a day!!

No one is allowed to tell me to do anything and I can't physically move while on the train. Being on a train is such a restful experience especially when you have a backwards commute and the car only has 2 people on it. I'm tired in the morning and need to decompress in the evening what a good way for this when traffic just wound me up more.

Exercise!!!

An HOUR total of biking a day. Some on a lovely bike trail next to my house. And it'd broken into 15 minutes each hours apart so it won't even feel like an hour.

Be moody!!!

Looking out a train window is the perfect way to feel emo about things in your life. There really is nothing better especially when it rains.

Pretend to fall in love with strangers!!!

In traffic you hate everyone you meet how dare you be in a car next to me you pig bitch! But on a train every stranger could be a meet-cute. Imagine your life together and never speak to them or look at them because that's scary! But look mysterious and hot near by.

Get ready for my day!!!

I have to be ready when I leave the house if I drive, and most of the time I'm tired as hell! And I don't feel ready til about hour into my shift. Terrible! Now I get to sit, do warm-ups, stretch, biking is invigorating gets me up and moving, get an extra 10-20 minute nap in if I need it, drink a whole coffee, take deep breaths and breathe air. It's wonderful!

Save money!!!

I just did the math and if I really am spending on average 500 a month on insurance, parking and gas and registration and oil changes etc. As well as 500 a month on repairs for every time it broke down, then if I get tired of the extra hour it takes for me to do my full commute I can remember that hour is equivalent to 50 dollars. Each day. I can't believe how much that is. It's money I was making that was just going to a piece of junk that I used as a trashcan and dissociation teleportation device. Now if I'm tired and miserable I will just transfer $50 into the album savings. 10 days of that is one studio session.

I'm genuinely so hype you guys I was terrified how long this was gonna take me based on how much I could save and how often im having medical emergencies and car emergencies but this... this makes cushions possible. It makes debt go down. I watched a money guy for a while just to remind myself not to buy bullshit, and even though I got back on my bullshit for a bit one of the things he emphasized is cars are expensive. Most peoples debt is car debt. It made me realize that isn't worth it if you can avoid it. I'm trying to live extremely far beneath my means. I don't have family who can pay for studio time. I don't want to sign with anyone who will change the music I make. I want to make my music and support myself doing it.

do you like the movie legend of the guardians: the owls of ga’hoole?

i do! i honestly think it was a pretty good reinterpretation of the plot, i understand shortening and combining parts of the series for one movie, as much as i would have loved the first movie to just be the first book. but for what it is i think they did it pretty well. the animation is fucking STUNNING. its possibly my favorite visualization of a book series ive ever seen in a movie adaptation. its simply everything i imagined and more. the detail put into the worldbuilding, the tools used and the environment. not to mention the character expressions, it tows the line JUST right to make a realistic talking animal. i already loved Happy Feet, and i feel like the studio really found their golden ground here. i know zack snyder gets memed on for his slow motion shots but i'm honestly a big fan of how they're used in the movie, cause its always in some sort of breathtaking moment where you can soak in the the animation and feel the magic of the world

things i dont hate but could do without:

them being knighted as guardians at the end, the time skip felt a little too fast for me. like yeah we like won a whole war and stuff but damn it felt a little too soon maybe?

Soren and Eglantine do deserve to have their parents alive, dont get me wrong, but it sortof detracts from the found family theme of the original book story. like part of how Soren, Gylfie, Twilight and Digger all bond is that their families are dead lol

things i actively dislike or would prefer removed:

the echidna was pointless. he's exposition the character, and it annoys me that he just kindof tells the characters and audience "oh you're The Band! heres all your roles! you're going to Be This! im saying this now because there's not actually enough time for this movie to spend naturally establishing it!" like girl just DONT say that shit. it's fine to depict these characters at the beginning of their journey. no need to squeeze this nonsense in

Soren having a crush on Otulissa still makes me laugh so hard to this day like WHO PITCHED THIS??? were they desperate for some kind of straight coded romance subplot???? did NO ONE read the first book and go "hey guys he actually genuinely can't stand her ass. like its not even in a cute flirty way like she's annoying as fuck" ???? I DONT UNDERSTAND?? AND GYLFIE BEING JEALOUS IS SO??? LMFAOO???? just absolutely baffled by the inclusion of this.

and finally WORST of all, Digger is completely mischaracterized. like idfk what even happened. the same dipshit who decided Soren should crush on Otulissa was probably the same person who decided that a thoughtful, philosophical Digger would be ToO BoRiNg FoR thE KidS and we need a fucking quirky comic relief character. it literally just feels like they were forcing in tropes where they thought the book was missing it, as if they book NEEDED these things at all. oh no we're missing the boring cishet love triangle and the annoying jangling keys "funny" character!!!! because kids movie!!!!!! god DAMNIT!!!!!!

........... but yeah im otherwise pretty happy with it. i think the character design is top notch except for Otulissa. why did they make her a short eared owl instead of a spotted owl i will never fucking know

i do wish we got a sequel. as a Coryn kinnie i wouldve loved to see if he had a screen adaptation and how his story was done :")

Hi! Congratulations on 1k!! im digging the sea theme smmmmm!!!!!!!!!!

can i request a Dolphin? 🐬 for a marauders boi? (jus wanna specify that, cuz i saw bucky on ur list XD)

im a INTP, and chaotic good, but HEAVY on the chaotic. i love vintage stuff, and baking, cooking, music, reading, writting, listening to music (of like.. most every genre), adventuring, wandering, thrifting, running errands with friends, going on nature walks, drawing, painting, crocheting, stuff like that! I have a very eclectic style, one day i dress in my pajamas, the next im dressed like a grunge hippie, then a full hippie, then a punk, then a emo/scene style, then gothic, its all over the place, but i do know lots about the subgenres so its chill i feel :> i also love love love love!!!!!!!!!! the ocean and beach and lakes, and just swimming and bodies of water in general.

Im also pretty intelligent, in history and eng specifically, but i do tend to ignore grammar laws (ik its rules) if im not writting my fiction stories.

i come up with stories a lot, and my head is full of different ideas for my books or my art or stuff to do, so i can be airheaded on occasion.

my humor is like if a 12 year old boy was a sarcastic, tired guy who used high/uni level vocabulary for no reason at all other than the fact to avoid miscomunication, and really lame jokes and dad jokes.

thank you so much for your time, and again, congrats on 1k!!!

hi my love! thank you so much, and here’s your dolphin 🐬

𓆟 — james potter

𓇼 i’d match you up with james potter!

𓇼 he is soo chaotic good too, but more good than chaotic. so i think you’d balance each other out pretty well :)

𓇼 you seem to have a love for doing every hobby ever, and james would absolutely adore that! he’d be down to try anything and everything with you. and for every date, he’d take you to a new place like those cute art/pottery cafes or to a baking studio

𓇼 as for your style, he’d be super excited to help you get dressed/accessorize every day because of how excitingly different it is every time haha. he would absolutely dote on you and tell you how stunning you look in whatever you wear <3 i think he’s also the type of guy to shift his style up a lot and experiment with it. and he’s also the kinda guy who’ll get you both tons of matching clothes to try out together!

𓇼 he’d definitely encourage you to tell him about whatever ideas or stories you’re thinking of, and he’d listen with a lovesick grin haha

𓇼 i think he’d love your sense of humour, especially the dad jokes. you’d say something for the fun of it but he’d end up bent over with laughter

This is when the “I'm always chasing rainbows” song from the Pilot occurs and only mention some of the changes I made

Most notably, the picture book does not occur here because it was shown separately in the Prologue to the thing, so I have more time to show Hell itself (Time travel!). The scene starts with the view of a huge pit of mud, from which we can see newcomer sinners crawl out of, their bodies covered in the mud, the Pentagram in the distance (A cameo/teaser for my OC Chole). Now we are shown the city itself, some of the scenes stay the same except Rosie painting over the Emporium sign (I scrapped that completely, Rosie is a sweetheart she couldn't do such a thing!) I added some scenes showing the party club of Missi Zilla, Rosie is shown standing behind the counter in her Emporium busy with her customers, a battlefield post Extermination and some of the new comer sinners fighting over rags of clothes from the dead sinners killed by the Exorcists. I did not forget to show Carmilla watching the fireworks from her window with her daughters, Zestial in his dark basement dungeon home (Yes I gave him a place to stay) enjoying the screams from some other room as he calves with bliss when it gets cut off with a SWISH sound of something very very sharp and very very mean, the unnamed (yes I haven't named him myself) blue-flame skull-bug overlord walking in a dark alley and talking with someone hidden in the shadows, only a sinister smile visible (Serenity cameo/tease) as well as then switching to some random wealthy-looking guy walking into a backstreet with some very good looking lady holding his hand, disappear from our sight, only the shadows visible from our view, showing that the man got his neck by something, and dragged beyond the point where we can see his shadow, a sound of metal hitting on metal and then the man walks out of the backstreet, makes his hair quickly, turns his back to us and continues walking, and we can see a glimpse of a tail retracting into the man's shirt (it wasn't there before. This is yet another {excuse me I just can't help myself} cameo/teaser for an OC Dylan). The song ends with the screen making its way up from the street rising above the rooftops (A silhouette of a man eating an apple is passed right by, another cameo/teaser to a character, this time OC Stallonfire) to reveal the Clocktower which just started the countdown (365 switched to 364)

Charlie just comes from the balcony after finishing her song, only to just collapse on the couch in tears. Vaggie comes to comfort her.

Vaggie: Charlie, is this because of the Extermination? Who am I kidding, I know you well. She sits next to her and caresses her hair. It's alright, I'm here, nobody from your family was hurt anyway-

Charlie cuts her off mid sentence

Charlie: Of course that they weren't! But what about the rest?

Vaggie: sigh You know we have a plan and that it's working. It's happening today, or did you forget?

Charlie: stunned a bit Wait, already!!?

Vaggie: Chuckles Yes, today

Charlie: B-but Im not ready to go yet! Charlie snaps. I have to check the pictures, prepare my speech, pack it all and-

Vaggie grabs her girlfriend by the forearm and stops her from panicking

Vaggie: What you need right now, is a good nap. It's midnight, and we have all the time in Hell to pack when we get up, don't we?

Charlie, embarrassed by her meaningless panic blushes slightly

Charlie: I-I guess you're right…

They both go outside of the room and the camera backs out of the window, looking upon the sky, where the episode title appears in a firework explosion. As the lights fade to black, the camera looks down at the city again. Look switches to the 666 NEWS studio and the Pilot scene play out exactly the same as in the Pilot (Sorry Charlie, that's just the way it has to go for the plot) Just like that goes the rest of the Pilot (just renamed into Ep.1) Chaggie argue with Angel in a limo. Alastor comes and flips the awfully looking building upside down using his powers and brings the staff in. Pentious attacks for the first time and gets his butt (do snakes even have butt?) kicked by Al. Everyone gets jambalaya from Alastor. Episode ends.

hii!! i love literally all of your stories and im obssessed with them!!!! <333

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

i would love to know the most is what happend to the ofc and aemond after the ending of the impossible choice, the pearl and the sapphire, the white flame and girl with a pearl earring :)))

im actually curious about what happend later in your every series because you tend to leave kind of an open ending (which is isnt a bad thing) but i love all of your ofc so much and im really invested in them and aemond so i just what to know what happends to them

❤️❤️❤️

Hello my love!!! Thank you so much, this is will be long one so sorry guys ❤️

⭐️The Impossible Choice - So the threat to them is now gone, so I imagine they would spend their lives peacefully on Dragonstone. Lady Baratheon must have borne him several more children, knowing Aemond and his desire to fill her.

After Aegon finally changed and with his brother's advice, he became as good a king as he could, finally appreciating Helaena who bore him another son and heir to the throne. This means that Daeron will remain just a prince, but will inherit the Dragonstone, which will pass to his children.

I imagine Aemond would be a similar father to Borros, strict but very connected to his children, only thinking about their future and fulfillment. He and Lady Baratheon would be the power couple of Westeros!

⭐️The Pearl and The Sapphire - Aemond would continue therapy and, as he said, he would start looking for a house in the suburbs. In the meantime, during their separation, they would call each other a lot, he would visit her from time to time in her family home, or she would visit him in his apartment.

Then they would slowly start arranging themselves, they would give Miss B her studio and room, Aemond would create his office and they would try to start their life together. He would slowly start telling her in the evenings by the fireplace, sitting with her in an armchair on his lap, about his past, about his complicated relationship with his family.

He would definitely introduce her to Alicent and Helaena eventually, feeling that what was between them was really serious. Eventually, he would decide that he wanted to propose to her and would ask Borros to create a ring for him decorated with pearls and sapphires, telling him about his plans.

⭐️ The White Flame - Aemond would go to college, wanting to finally fulfill his dreams. He would still play for the band, but he would devote himself largely to his studies and it gave him a lot of peace. He and Bunny moved into his apartment and lived a quiet life, while she still worked as a graphic designer.

⭐️ The Gril with Pearl Earring - She and Aemond would go together to the exhibition he invited her to and well, they would definitely sleep in the same hotel room, I think you can guess what was going on between the artist and his muse, I don't think Aemond would let her sleep.

In any case, they would officially be a couple, Aemond would take a lot of photos of her with his Instax, simply in their private space, loving to observe her, some of them would be nudes, but reserved for viewing only by him, which he would hide in a special hiding place.

After graduation, he would work as a photographer for large companies, shooting products, leaving portrait and artistic photography for his private life. I can imagine that both of them would work in marketing or advertising campaigns after their studies and they would fit in perfectly, having a similar sense of aesthetics.

I can imagine them as a melancholy, artistic, sweet couple in love, her sketching him while he reads a book, him photographing her as she lies in his bed in his shirt.

Ask me about my fics with emojis.

Im watching 'Hearts of Darkness', the documentary of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now This history on this one is crazy So I know Apocalypse Now, from film school. I was taught parts of it in cinema history (as a Gen Xer taugh by boomers), and part of it because its sound design. Saw it in full some years later. Hearts of Darkness is the documentary finished in 1990. Hearts of Darkness's release maybe put AN back in the pop consciousness? There was one segment playing off AN in Animaniacs.

Coppola was kind of part of a young director's crew. Friends with Spielberg and Lucas, and Friendly with Scorcese, a lot of those guys wanted to make a movie about Vietnam. This was his. Contextually, this was after Godfather one and two, and The Conversation. The Godfather brought Brando back into celebrity, and he didnt act much between then and AN. Coppola was monumentally dumb. He wanted Vietnam so he shot in Panama. Because this had a main theme of killing an army guy (brando) the US army wouldnt let him borrow helicopters. So he borrowed them from Panama's president, who happened to also need them regularly to fight a rebellion in his country. Because of all the troubles with his actors, Coppola ended up shooting for more than 200 days. Most movies are made somewhere in 20-50 day range, and in easier environments. Because of the cost of production, Coppola had to mortgage his house and vineyard in california. Add to all of this because he was the way he was AND because of actor difficulties, he was abandoning his script WHILE shooting and improvising the story. So far so good? Ok, so when a famous director made a movie in the 70s, the studio would send a documentary crew to make a 'making of' short for hype. The end product would be five minutes long, shown on tv or theaters. At this point, Coppola was so far over time and budget he said no no no to the studio (seeing the production might have given them an argument to HALT production), and said my wife and a sound guy will shoot the documentary stuff. Only thing is, his wife shot a LOT, and because she was married to Coppola, there was no filter between them during interviews, and she was getting his most insecure and defeatist ramblings about a difficult shoot. As to the actors, Coppola picked Martin Sheen two weeks after shooting with Keitel as the lead. Another delay was that Sheen had a heart attack in Panama, and had to be away for seven weeks. During that time, Coppola shot with Sheen's brother in wide shots and shot the closeups of Sheen when he came back. Now to Brando. Brando after the godfather hadnt acted that much. He gained 80 pounds and was ashamed of that; he didnt read the book the movie was based on OR the script, so Coppola had to read him the book over a week and figure out what they were going to improvise. and meeting Brando is the CLIMAX of the movie. Ive never really been amazed at Brando in this one, so I feel validated by that. To me, the angels who saved the picture are Sheen and Dennis Hopper. Hopper is so crazed and cultish and brainwashed it really prepares you to meet Brando and accept whatever youre given. In the end, Coppola pulled out a movie, won some awards, the whole thing was a big event apparently. Anyway, as far as I can tell the five minute documentary never got made, but another crew asked to use the footage Eleanor Coppola shot, and some new interviews with the cast and crew in 1990. Coppola approved the use of the documentary footage because he thought it was going to be broadcast twice on Showtime and that would be the end of it. And because of video and film festival, it wasnt.
