#it's called manifesting

Well, if it isn't Luke Brooks and Wes Ryder. 🤠

This not being able to sleep at a decent time thing really goes against my entire vibe of waking up early to have a cup of coffee and obsess over fictional men in an effort to prepare myself for another day.

tomorrow's 'good morning guys' will be Matty in bed talking about his usual random shit idk and then at the very end he'll pan over to Ross sitting next to him in bed, shirtless, hair down, and wearing his glasses, for just a split second before cutting the video off.

I was hoping for a relaxing weekend, but Thursday night my area got hit with a little tornado that knocked out the power for three days. It came back on yesterday afternoon, but it was stressful. I would love to just have things settle down for a bit. It's been a completely insane few months. I need some tedium. I long for a little dullness. Some calm, bit of peace. So, manifesting that shit this week.

I am an office baddie without an office lmao

Today in class we had to vote on what books to read for the semester and the guy opposite me voted for a book I wasn't particularly interested in initially.

Someone read the book description out loud and it mentioned that it's "an ode to strong women"

That guy then went "ew, strong women, not my thing, remove my vote"

And while looking him in the eye I raised my hand and said "put my vote in his place"

I also had to take charge during the group discussion & thought to myself why am I not in corporate again?? Why act like someone who makes 50k without making that money??

I actually said "Let's park that one for a moment for time's sake. We can circle back to it in the end to weigh it against the other options. We can always include it anyway, but for now let's put a pin in it and work through the rest of the items so we at least have a full overview."

That sounds like I should be making 50k

I've seen spirits leave the Fade and become real people. You think I could be a spirit in disguise?

just constantly thinking about percy telling vex that he’d like to think they’re all better than they think they are (except her brother, of course) . constantly thinking about when vex tells percy he’s a good man and he gets awkward and flustered and returns that she’s a good woman and when she gets as awkward and flustered he goes “see. it’s not very nice is it.” percy shouting to ripley that he forgives her and vex carves forgive into the wood of her bow. vex tells percy to take off his mask and percy comes across vex in tears and scrubbing at her armour. god. the campaign starts and percy is making arrows as flirting and getting kisses in return and the campaign ends and exhausted and knowing it won’t be a want that will be fulfilled percy admits he never wants to make another weapon and vex equally exhausted affirms that he’ll never Have to. and god . god . opposites attract is great or whatever but the deliciousness of dynamics where the characters hold up a mirror to one another where they get to shed the burden of self and see someone Like Them as someone good or capable of being better and Falling In Love. and that love being a pathway to them coming to grips with their own image and their own capacity to be better. and that the fact that the person they fall for being someone so Familiar means that they see through each other’s shit. that percy sees that vex has fallen into the trap of Nobility tricking people into thinking that makes them inherently better and giving her the only whitestone title someone has to earn beyond selection or marriage or birth. that vex sees percy forgive ripley and discusses the importance of that choice but reminds him that it’s just as important that he forgive himself.

one night stand trope with the boys that ends with a baby except you picked him up from the bar, slipped him a fake name and took him back to your hotel, and months later when he flies out to your home town, there is no baby.

and that makes him very upset.

guess he's gotta have to try harder than that.

^^ Putting this here, too, for good measure because we could use ALL THE MANIFESTATION to get these two as Luke and Wes.

About 30% into Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage and the male main character - older brother's best friend, Luke Brooks - has already sported these two looks (down to the muscle tee and the backward baseball cap) so he's pretty much Rhett Abbott/Lew kthxbye.

I mean -

Complicated relationship with family, but a niece he adores? ✅ A man who only wants to be loved? ✅ Did I mention the muscle tees and backward cap? Yes, fine, so this is more Lew, but I never said my points made 100% sense. ✅

Okay, but this - this bit solidified it for me:

THE VEINS COME ON DOES LYLA SAGE LIVE INSIDE THE SCARY RECESSES OF MY BRAIN AND I JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT?

EDIT: um, so in the time since I first drafted this post…this morning before I left for work, I might add, I not only finished the book but have firmly decided that Lew should first play Charlie Lastra in Book Lovers and then play Luke. Okay? Okay.
