extraterrestrial, take me away 💫

[firstdivisiongirl]

Hiiii! How are you??? :) hope you are having a good day<3 may I ask for a romantic Tokyo revengers matchup, please??

My pronouns are she/her and I'm bisexual, but mostly attracted to men. I'm usually very friendly with everyone and willing to help people. I make friends easily and I'm very easygoing, like I could make friends with other random girls on the streets because if I find a girl very pretty or I like her style I usually come up to her and tell her and we start talking and talking like we already knew each other, lol. I'm very very loyal with my friends and family and I'm willing to go confront someone for them if they are having beef with someone else and asking for my help. I talk a lot about things that I like but I am a very good listener. I'm also very very forgetful and very very messy. I'm not good at school, like at all, I just have my head in the clouds most of the time. I'm also a very affectionate and touchy friend, most people find me pretty funny and chill, I tend to swear a lot even in normal conversations, even when I'm not mad, and I fall in love soooo easily, like way too easily😭 I have very very low standards even though I like more older, masculine and tall guys I also really really don't mind nerds, sensitive boys, artists, ykwim?? But I usually gravitate towards people who I think can take care of me and give me a little bit of princess treatment, patient lovers. I'm also kind of the type of girlfriend who is kinda like your best friend. But I just fall very easily and get heartbreaks a lot. I'm a very sensitive person, very empathetic, but sometimes I'm unintentionally rude to my friends or other people, so I can be rude and uncalled sometimes and I'm very ashamed of that after, and sometimes especially with professors I can be easy to put up a fight with since I have a sharp tongue- my hobbies are drawing, photography, watching anime, singing, theater, acting,the history of cinema and animation, makeup and hanging out with my friends :)

I dislike people who are mean just because they think it's fun to be randomly mean to someone, people who look at you weird or snob you when you compliment them, when people touch my stuff without asking, when someone hurt animals and people who just can't stand up for themselves not even a little bit. I really like Italian old love songs, love books from the 50s 60s (they are literally so romantic without being cliche), musicals, disney movies expecially the old ones, animation, flowers (even though im allergic🧍🏻‍♀️), making people laugh, imprevedibile and fun people, dressing feminine, horror and romantic movies, videogames, old rock and romantic music.

I'm 5'0 with long long brown hair with highlights and bangs, amber eyes with long lashes, thin lips, a mole next to my nose and I always try to smile bc I like how I look when I smile :) my skin is pretty taken care of and clear, i love dressing feminine but mostly dress with baggy pants and a crop top or compression shirt, something like that, but sometimes i love putting on very short miniskits and platforms to look taller (I never wear non-platform shoes bc I wanna look taller). Also I love wearing hello kitty stuff😭❤️

I feel like this is way too much I am so so sorry- you can ignore if you don't feel like doing it🙏❤️

Have a great day, love the way you write, keep it up :D

Hi. I am doing pretty good. You didn't write too much at all and I would never ignore it. And thank you for the kind words. I want to let you know that I picked someone who could be considered controversial. If you don't like it, DM me and I will give you another. I hope you like it!

You Got...

Tetta Kisaki!!!!

I know. He's...him. But hear me out!

He's into girls who are friendly and super nice. You also give me Hina vibes.

He seems to be into very into things like history and film. I think you two would talk about film, it's history, how different camera angles are used, etc.

He would get you so many vintage things like books and old records. Anything to see you smile.

He would love that you fall so easily. That means it is easier for him to win you over. Although, he will try very hard to be the perfect partner.

WILL NEVER BREAK YOUR HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will treat you like a princess.

Most people would think he would hate someone who is not great in school. But I believe he would like that because then he could tutor you and spend more time with the person he loves.

Slow dancing to old songs in the living room!

Would love that you can fight for yourself. Makes him worry less about you and your wellbeing. He will still worry, but a little less

And lastly, he will love you no matter what. If you are rude, he will love you. When you are upset, he will love you.

September 2022

Lord, I confess I want the clarity of catastrophe but not the catastrophe. Like everyone else, I want a storm I can dance in. I want an excuse to change my life. - Franny Choi

Tamales con quesillo y salsa roja / in San Cris: con rajas poblanas. Yum! They remind me of semolina dumplings.

Feline encounters: the cutest cat at Iguana: red, white and brown with green eyes; very friendly and gentle. / The grey cat who followed me home, talking to/meowing at me, stopping me to demand scratches. / My black cat friend at Estrella Fugaz.

First impressions are scarily accurate. Somehow you can just feel who belongs in your tribe.

Attending the self love workshop at Hridaya Yoga (and the fact that a handbook I randomly picked up in a hostel led me there). So much input, realising how much work there is to be done. The ho'oponopono prayer, meditation and partner exercises. Journalling about my insights. New ways of thinking and connecting. Staring into 14 strangers eyes for what felt like forever, holding hands. Intense. Feeling the love, the group finally connecting on the third day. Especially because it was Sasha's birthday and we danced to 70s disco music.

Meeting with Carina, Sasha and Fico (what an amazingly sympathetic power couple, I admire them so much) the next day. Feeling at ease. Talking about language, culture, the state of the world, very personal insights and thoughts about healing.

Playa Mermejita. Alone, black sand, crabs, storm damage. Reading. Getting a tan on my belly for the first time in my life (have I mentioned that I've finally started wearing bikinis?). Writing in the sand.

Men with space buns. Men who like cats. Men who go to self love workshops. Men who've overcome toxic masculinity. I love people who're not stuck in stereotypes and typecasting that comes with their gender. Maybe that's why I'm attracted to women with short hair and masculine traits and vice versa.

Daring to go to the Kirtan. Om Shanti.

Spanish progress. Connecting with Eva, my maestra from Madrid. The first time I understood the difference between the imperfecto, presente perfecto and pretérito (but realising I will actually have to study this time). Having real conversations in Spanish. Compliments on that, and my accent. Feels good because I've been frustrated by my lack of ability to express myself.

Coconut milk tapioca pudding with passion fruit compote. Vegan hot dogs.

The sense that you can get it “right” is in some ways illusory; there’s no door behind which the right version of your life is waiting. There will be pain and joy in all possible futures [...] The question may not be how to get the right answer to this question, but how to find the space to celebrate the fact that each of your options contains a life you’d be proud to live. Eleanor Gordon-Smith

Tabi playing the guitar. Singing together. I loved her song about the seasonal colours. And the Canción de Miedo.

Cañón de Sumidero boat ride. Rescuing passengers from a sinking ship. Michelada con mango from the tienda flotante in the sun. Pelicans. Crocodiles. Spider monkeys. Riding through waterfalls.

The friendly guy from Guadalajara. Erika, the pretty graphic designer from Playa. The whacky Australians.

Taking the colectivo to Chamula with Ricardo. Getting to know him. Libra musician. Italian cuisine. Dog lover. Conversing in Spanish!! Buying tiny candles to express gratitude and to make a wish. Taking in the very peculiar atmosphere of the church. The burping, the animal sacrifice, the sea of candles and pine needles all over the floor. Visiting the graveyard. Getting elote straight out of a car trunk.

Stumbling upon the most beautiful earrings ever. Brass crescent moons with long, thin feathers. The artist made them especially for me!

The Bad People vintage store in San Cris.

More waterfalls. A rainbow, for a short moment. The view over the valley. The Palenque ruins - super beautiful and impressive even though I didn't feel the magic there.

A blissful evening shopping at a super Chedraui after a stressful day. The sesame bread with queso and jalapenos. / Each and every time I'm at a place with a kitchen. I love preparing my own food and going shopping for groceries. It's what I often miss on the road.

A quiet apartment with a very comfortable bed and a TV with Netflix. Non-blinding lights. The height of luxury when you don't feel great.

No Limit - a movie about freediving based on Audrey Mestre's life. Triggered a little internet deep dive.

"Winds in the east / mist coming in / Like somethin’ is brewin’ and bout to begin." // A song from Mary Poppins that accurately describes the feeling of fresh inspiration, motivation, anticipation and hope for change.

Arriving in Merida. A friendly taxista, the amazingly decorated house with high ceilings and art from all over the world. The hostess' granddaughter Victoria (4) built a castillo with me and sang for me, so cute.

A late night vegan pita sandwich with grilled veggies.

LED balloons. Sparkly. Fun!

Remote Scrabble.

Cracking my crunchy spine - feels so satisfyingly straightening.

Visiting Wendy's juice bar. Talking to her about giving up fear. Just doing it. The illusion of safety.

Ivan, an illustrator who invited me to his boardgame night. Pizza. Friends. New words. A cat. Lovely.

An intuitive infatuation with the chef/owner (?) at Plants of Wonder in Merida. The wink. The voice. The presence. Yas.

Found a tiny baby kitten. So light. Can't have weighed more than 200g. And the high pitched meowsies!!!

Baby pink clouds at sunset.

The crystal clear water of the Bacalar lagoon. My own private fish fan club. Diving down, watching the water surface from below.

Giving advice I'd actually follow myself. Happy with my teachings. Now I only need to practice what I preach.

Forgetting my phone at home (weird addiction going on at the moment and I don't like it so it was a welcome change)

Manu sharing his Netflix account with me.

Posting on Instagram for the first time in years, connecting with people because of it.

The clear starry sky in Bacalar.

Excellent vegan tacos/hot dog.

The unexpected and phenomenal dance scene in Umbrella Academy ep. 3x01. Footloose. What.

A quick sailing trip in the lagoon. Bonding with the captain. Sitting up front with a beer in my hand like a figurehead. Fresh pineapple. Stories about pirates.

Not falling for the scam / fake priest from Chicago like the British dudes.

Talking to neuroscientist Hanna in the hostel kitchen. About multipotentialism. Psychotherapy. Security.

Arriving in Belize. After going crazy over all the misinformation and seemingly impossible way ahead of me. Enjoying the view from the boat. Friendly people. Caribbean vibes.

Petting stingrays. Surprisingly soft and squishy.

A hammock in the water.

Pelicans. Flying towards me. Coming close. Making eye contact. Oddly majestic birds.

A clear view of Jupiter over the Carribbean sea.

TALK - Run Away to Mars

Snorkelling in the Hol Chan marine reserve. I saw so many animals - manatees, a lobster, sharks, dolphins, tarpons, eagle rays and stingrays. Elaborate coral formations, a shipwreck. Lunch and rum punch on the boat and the friendly crew. We all got a drink at Sip'n'Dip afterwards. I watched the sunset with Sam and then we ran into the Germans again at dinner.

A travel buddy to go to Guatemala with (Sam). Deep talk. Helping him break out of his hostel in the morning.

Eating purple candy fully expecting to bite into disgusting grape flavor but it's nice blackcurrant instead.

Travelling with Moana and Yuki.

Following around the coatis at the Tikal ruins. Bonding with Steve.

Swimming, sunset and socialising on Isla de Flores.

The amazing restaurant at Los Amigos.

9hrs on the bus. Stopping at McDonald's. Getting a cheeseburger without meat. Worth it. Just for the pickle.

The Semuc Champey grutas. Walking in with just a candle in your hand which created such a fantastic atmosphere. Swimming, climbing, jumping and sliding. / The river pools and the waterfall. Diving under a rock formation, fighting claustrophobia. Riding on the pickup truck standing up. The great view of the mountains and valleys.

The view from Zephyr Lodge. Enjoying the pool and hot tub.

HELLO I AM HERE WITH A QUASTION TO TRY AND TAKE YOUR MIND OFF THINGS what kind of music would your cyberpunk gang listen to?? 👀

hii beloved, thank youuu <33 let's see what the gang is up to when they have power over the aux cord jdfkf

Vesper: she's a rock gal mainly and that's the main feel she goes for when she plays her bass guitar too, she enjoys some R&B too when she needs to just...lay down motionless for 4 hours because she's overwhelmed by Things (johnny?? fenix?? jfdsk her brother sometimes..give her some rest). ALSO a big fan of latin music too since she's a pro at dancing and knows a lot of ballroom types of dance like samba, cha cha cha etc... + electronic dance type of music since she hits the clubs often

Fenix: vintage boy. he enjoys basically everything that went on back back back back in the days. 80s type of music, some italian songs, electropop, indie even (he's the type of guy that pretends he's the only one that listens to good music in the world, i hate him), rock, a bit of country, disco, city pop and so on. basically he likes to jump a lot from one genre to the other as long as it's...aged kdjfhk. one of his hobbies is collecting vintage stuff so you can bet he has some very old vinyl

Daniel & Nader: these two go together because they share mostly the same music taste and share with each other lots and lots of songs. rock, industrial rock, some pop, pop rap, hip-hop. they are street boys, they are street boys, they got influenced by the surroundings. also main difference between them is that nader enjoys some R&B and instrumental too but daniel finds these genres too boring, too chill...especially instrumental, he doesn’t like it all, he wants to hear words alongside music!! but.. he likes a bit of vaporwave while nader doesn’t. in general they agree a lot on their music taste with just a few exceptions. also they are both super fans of kerry!! vesper had to ask him for an autographed album for both skfhk

Akira: this one is funny...i imagine them liking more of..instrumental, environmental type of music. something very chill, no words, no lyrics, just something that makes them relax and isn’t too overbearing. but...there are times when they love to sit behind a desk and blast as high as possible metal music and they just sit there...motionless..maybe working..as every possible neighbour or coworker can’t find peace for the next six hours but they are too scared to ask them to lower the volume

[definitelynotdamiano]

Rolling Stone listed Måneskin as the 22nd most stylish musicians. Obviously I'm biased, but some of the choices ahead of them are, let's say, questionable. But for not being super famous in the US yet, not bad?

Here is the article, and this is what they wrote:

With a blur of BDSM harnesses, heavy black eyeliner, tailored suits, and a shit-ton of skin, these Italian rockers blew up in 2021 by bringing back vintage Bowie-Queen swagger — and made the U.S. pop charts doing it. Måneskin formed in the mid-2010s, working a pretty standard emo-punk look. That changed when they hooked up with Italian stylist Nicolò Cerioi*, who helped amp up their glam quotient, culminating in Måneskin winning the 2021 Eurovision song contest decked out in custom Etro leather suits. “Fundamentally we try to have fun experimenting with looks, without setting limits but just wearing what we like,” bass player Victoria De Angelis told Women’s Wear Daily in May 2021.

*they misspelled his name, it's Nicolo “Nick” Cerioni

It would be nice if they were higher, sure. But then there are only 25 places, with the first two being (spoiler I guess) Lady Gaga and Lil Nas X, so I'd say 22nd is not that bad!

Predictions on Baby Girl Sussex?

I’m FREEEEEEEE from finals and ready to chat with you all once again! Thank you all for being so patient, I’m so excited to dive into all your questions and give them the novel-length responses they deserve 😉

I’m assuming you mean name predictions haha, cause the only other thing I can think of to predict would be her birthday (for the record, I’ll go ahead and put my sister’s birthday, June 10th, for no reason other than I predicted my own birthday, April 26th, for Archie!). But I love talking about baby names (as you can see by the length of this post 😅), so let’s get into it.

So I fully expect to be completely taken aback by their pick. Like not even on the same planet as my predictions. Cause that’s just how those two roll lmao. But IF they’re staying in the same theme as Archie’s name, I’m expecting something that’s also short, possibly nickname-y, kind of dusty and vintage, but with a whimsical charm, just like Archie’s. I am still operating with the assumption that she will one day be Princess (whether or not that actually happens, of course, remains to be seen), so I’m trying to keep that title in mind. And also, given that name meanings appear to hold significance to them, I tried to at least somewhat keep meanings in mind. So, in no particular order:

Eloise

“Healthy; wide”

French, English

I am SO charmed by this name. If I hadn’t already decided on Elliott for my future son’s name, this name would be right at the top of my future daughter’s list. I just thinks it’s so delightfully playful yet still timeless and classic. It gives easy and pretty nicknames with Ellie and Ella, or even Lizzy (possibly to honor her great-grandmother?). “Archie and Eloise” sounds so perfect and natural to me, without sounding kitschy or too over the top with the matching. “Princess Eloise” is so deliciously perfect, it just fits together like a puzzle piece.

Eleanor

Unknown meaning

English, French

Eleanor hits almost all the same beats I mentioned above for Eloise, even down to the lovely Ellie/Ella nicknames. It’s even more royal than Eloise, with such heady associations as the legendary Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (not to mention the American Queen, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt!). Eloise is closer to my heart, but I’d be thrilled with Eleanor as well.

Greta

“Pearl”; diminutive of Margaret

German

This one’s quite old-fashioned, but I think it’s so charming and would make an adorable name on a little girl. And fun fact, the name Meghan comes from a nickname for Margaret, which is why both those names as well as Greta all mean “Pearl.” So this would be a perfect way to honor little girl’s mama in a more subtle way.

Poppy

“Red flower”

Latin, English

Spunky yet sweet. Pays tribute to her mother’s homeland of California, while also sounding very at home in her father’s homeland of the UK. A flower name in honor of her mama’s own mama. This scarlet name would be even more perfect if the Ginger Avenger manages to make himself another little Gingette. And as I said to one of my anons the other day, “Princess Poppy” is so screeching cute I might actually combust if I think about it too much, so let’s move on.

Lea

“Meadow; weary”

English

To be totally honest, this one is mostly just because I’ve been addicted to listening to “Lea” by TOTO on repeat lately. Although “Princess Lea” might be a bit too . . . you know. Stor Wors. Even though the sci-fi princess pronounces her name differently, I think they’ll probably still want to avoid that association. Still, that song is heavenly and the name goes with all my criteria so I’m putting it in anyways.

Hazel

“Hazelnut tree”

English

Another nature name, one that I’m sure our favorite Earth Mama will enjoy ;) It’s newly popular, but in my opinion still retains that distinctive and whimsical uniqueness of a name that’s much further on the fringe than Hazel actually is. I can just picture a little hazel-eyed princess running barefoot around her gorgeous backyard, wild hair all spread out as she lays underneath a hazelnut tree. Ugh, so cute.

Etta

“Estate ruler”; feminine diminutive of Henry

English, Scottish

I suppose in response to Archie’s middle name Harrison, I’ve seen some Squaddies predict Henrietta for his little sister. And um . . . that is not a favorite of mine 😅 But if Harry wants to add his brand to his second little munchkin as well, why not Henrietta’s much more sleek and dynamic offshoot, Etta? It's got that old school feel, with also a spark of liveliness. I also love that it ties to their Black ancestry through one of the most legendary Queens of American Soul Music, Etta James.

Maeve

“She who intoxicates”

Irish

Incredibly endearing with a rich history. For my own personal use, this safer option might actually be called upon for my future daughter if I never manage to work up the courage to use my actual long-time Irish favorite, Saoirse. But for Harry and Meghan, I can’t really see them using this one. Still, I felt like I needed an M name to cover all my bases, and this is one of the few that I like. Some other honorable “M”entions (get it?) include Maisie, Melody, and Madeleine (thank you to my lovely anon for this one!).

Francesca

“From France; free man”; variation of Frances

Italian

I haven’t really mentioned middle names here, mostly because this post is long enough already and middle name combos just add a whole other level of crazy. But given the enormous legacy of her grandmother, I am extremely torn on whether Baby Girl will be getting a name in her honor. If her parents so choose, Diana’s middle name Frances, or even it’s more ornately feminine variation, Francesca, would be lovely honors for the little princess to carry. If they do end up honoring Diana, I’d expect it to be in Baby Girl’s middle name.

Violet

“Purple”

Latin, English

One last flower name for Earth Mama Meghan. Violet was my top pick for Archie when he was still the mysterious Baby Sussex, but though it has since fallen from my top spot, it still is a lovely, classic name of inarguable feminine grace, yet with an underlying core of strength and fortitude. I feel like Violet is a woman who ties her hair back with a soft velvet bow, but then hitches up her skirts, draws her sword, and shows the battlefield who’s boss. I just love the duality of this name, and I think it would be a lovely gift for a little girl.

Alice

“Noble”

German

Vintage, classic, girly, and solidly royal, this name calls to mind white rabbits and looking glasses. Once again, on a personal note, this might be an option for my future daughter if I chicken out on trying to get everyone to pronounce Alicia correctly. I love that name in the Spanish pronunciation, “Ah-lee-see-ah,” but I find the Anglicized “Ah-lee-sha” to be dreadful and I wouldn’t want to burden my girl with a lifetime of corrections. Anyways, Alice is just as elegant, if not quite as ornate, and in any case is much more likely for our British-American princess. Plus, what a stunning pair of name meanings to gift these two siblings: “Brave” Archie and “Noble” Alice. They sound straight out of an Arthurian legend. (Plus, how cute would “Archie and Alice” sound!)

Honorable Mentions Cause I Need To Wrap This Shit Up:

Evie/Edie (both follow all the E names I wrote about above, and Edie in particular is a modern name full of moxie that would be a great nickname for the older, traditional Edith)

Lily (yet another flower name, and I just like the sound of this one)

Spencer (another possible route to honoring Granny Diana, yet maintaining a much more modern and spunky taste than Frances, while also being less direct)

Clara (of Nutcracker fame, adding here mostly because I think I’d melt if I heard this in Harry’s voice and accent)

Lucy (same vibes as Alice and Clara)

Ivy (cute, simple, girly nature name, but unfortunately already in use by the daughter of Meghan’s close friend Jessica Mulroney)

Zoe (I have absolutely no personal connection to this name, but for some reason it just now randomly popped into my head as something they might choose, so here ya go)

So yeah! Sorry this was so long, but it was super fun! Thank you for sending in this great question. I’d love to hear all your guys’ name predictions, dream picks, and wild card guesses!

under the silvery moon

An Anon asked for some dancing stevetony! I hope you like it, Anon! 🤍

under the silvery moon

steve/tony, fluff, established relationship, 1912 words 

“Captain, you have truly outdone yourself.”

Steve feels his own lips break into an answering grin at the familiar voice. 

Tony pads across the wide stretch of distance between the entrance to the rooftop and where Steve is seated on a picnic blanket, spread on top of the grass Tony had had installed to replace the linoleum flooring—something he did to cater to Steve’s love of gardening. The previously sleek, minimalistic, and barren rooftop has been converted into a flourishing garden filled with various plants and flowers of different colors, shapes, and sizes courtesy of Steve’s green thumb. 

Right now, the garden has fairy lights strung all over it. They are hung on the branches of various plants, looping around bushes and flowers, giving off a magical yellow glow that is reminiscent of fireflies.

On the picnic blanket, Steve has prepared multiple layers of fluffy blankets for them to snuggle under, as well as several cushions and pillows. A bottle of wine is sitting in a bucket of ice and a bag filled with takeout from their favorite Italian restaurant is sitting right next to it.

He watches Tony approach him, unabashedly indulging in the sight of him. Tony’s steps are easy and unhurried. Still dressed in a crisp white shirt and black pants, suit jacket slung over his shoulder and red tie loosened haphazardly, he gazes at Steve with a warm smile and a pair of tired eyes—remnants of a long work day. 

Steve’s heart clenches at how much Tony looks like home—Steve’s home. There is nothing he wants more in the world than an armful of Tony right now—his weary eyes, his messy hair, the scrape of his goatee against Steve’s skin. Steve wants all of it.

So when Tony finally reaches him and lies comfortably on the picnic blanket, head nestled in Steve’s lap and legs stretched out, it doesn’t come as a surprise when a knot loosens in his chest, an immediate reaction to Tony’s touch—the ache that only Tony can soothe finally ebbing away. It is as if his heart has decided that this is the way things ought to be—both of them pressed close together, all day, everyday. 

“The garden’s beautiful,” Tony says.

Steve smiles and Tony blinks when Steve’s fingers brush his hair back in slow, sweeping strokes. 

“I had to do something of this caliber, at the very least, to beat the lovely evening you planned for us last week.”

“Why did you cancel the reservation, anyway? You were really excited to go to Romano’s just a few days ago.”

“No special reason. Just didn’t feel like going out and dealing with people after all.” Steve strokes the soft hair of Tony’s right eyebrow absentmindedly. “I want you all to myself tonight.”

A radiant smile blooms on Tony’s face, accentuating all the laugh lines he has accumulated over the years. The glow of the fairy lights is reflected in his eyes, twinkling gold flecks swimming in brown irises.

Tony fakes a scandalous gasp, eyes blinking up at Steve with mischief.

“Are the rumors true, Captain? Is Tony Stark-Rogers your favorite person on earth?”

Steve raises an eyebrow, playing along. “Oh,” he whispers conspiratorially, leaning down to bring their mouths together in a kiss that leaves Tony mesmerized and panting, “Tony Stark-Rogers is my favorite human being in the entire universe.”

He kisses the space between Tony’s eyebrows, chuckling when he sees Tony’s eyes cross as they try to track the movement of Steve’s face leaning in. 

When Steve pulls back, Tony intertwines his fingers with Steve’s, squeezing his hand lightly. Tony lets their joined hands rest atop his chest, on the spot where the arc reactor used to be. The heat of Tony’s skin seeps through his shirt. 

“You’re my favorite person, too, honey bunches.”

They stay like that for a while, relishing the quiet intimacy of each other’s company, the sound of New York City’s busy nightlife accompanying them from way down below. It all sounds far away, though. Up here, everything is tranquil and peaceful, just he and Tony in a world of their own.

“Let’s eat before the food gets cold.” Tony sits up. Immediately, Steve’s thighs feel cold and bereft.

When Tony stretches his limbs, groaning at the release of endorphins in his body, his ankle grazes the sole of Steve’s foot. He startles at the contact, surprised by Steve’s freezing cold skin. 

“You feeling cold, sweetheart?” Tony’s eyebrows crease together in concern. He grabs one of the fleece blankets, wrapping the soft fabric snug around Steve’s cold feet. “I can go down and get you a pair of socks.”

“No, it’s fine. Just a bit chilly,” Steve says, heart warm at how taking care of Steve has become something second nature to Tony. Something done without conscious thought, akin to muscle memory.

Among Tony’s many expressions of love, small gestures during quiet moments like this are the ones Steve cherishes the most. He falls just a little bit deeper in love with Tony, every single time. 

After making sure no part of Steve’s feet are exposed to the cold night air, Tony rummages in the takeout bag. “Which one’s mine?”

“Yours is the carbonara. Mine’s the aglio e olio. There’s garlic bread and caprese salad, too.�� 

They wolf down the food with a few glasses of wine, talking about the day they had. Steve grumbles about SHIELD paperwork and a mishap during weapons training. Tony rambles about a promising new deal with a biotech company in Japan that is still in the works. Their work separates the two of them more often than Steve would have liked, and not for the first time, he is immensely glad for the system they have taken years to cultivate: having weekly date nights whenever possible and not being away from each other for more than two weeks at a time. Three, if push comes to shove.

After an anecdote about Happy’s driving antics that has Tony giggling uncontrollably, Steve reaches over to turn on the speaker Tony gave him for his birthday a few years ago. Although Tony has thoughtfully modeled its vintage design after old radios from the forties, the sound it produces is of the highest quality—Tony wouldn’t settle for anything less, of course. 

Steve connects the speaker to his phone before picking something slow and sweet out of a playlist of his favorites, old jazz that reminds him of the neighborhood he grew up in. It is the kind of song he would hear coming out of one of his neighbors’ windows, one that would linger in his head for days afterward. 

A gentle melody on the piano begins and a lady starts to croon sweetly about tender love and foolish hearts.

Turning to Tony, he holds out a hand. “Dance with me?”

With Tony’s hand in his, Steve leads him off the blanket, both of them standing barefoot on the grass. Tony loops his hands around Steve’s neck and Steve settles his hands on Tony’s hips. They begin to sway gently in tune to the music, falling into a companionable silence. When Tony rests his cheek against Steve’s chest, eyes gazing at the skyscrapers in the distance, Steve rests his chin on the crown of Tony’s head, closing his eyes.

Somewhere during the second verse of the next song on Steve’s playlist, Tony says something, breaking Steve’s reverie. He opens his eyes. 

“What?”

“I can hear your heartbeat.”

“Yeah? How does it sound?”

“Steady. It usually lulls me to sleep.” Tony yawns.

“You sleepy, sweetheart?” Steve plants a kiss into Tony’s hair.

A beat, and then:

“A little. But let’s stay like this for a little longer.”

At the end of the fourth song, Tony pulls back from his resting place on Steve’s chest to look up at him. Steve meets his gaze, warmth flooding his chest at the sight of the content smile on Tony’s face.

Maybe it’s New York City’s night air, or the fairy lights illuminating the rooftop, or the sentimental love songs flowing from the speaker, or the way Tony is gazing up at him like there is nowhere else he would rather be, or perhaps even all of those things combined, but the next thing Steve knows, he finds himself saying:

“Do me a favor, sweetheart?”

Tony tilts his head, curiosity bleeding into his eyes.

“Never change. Stay like this forever,” Steve whispers. 

“What? Super sexy and irresistible?”

Steve chuckles, burying his laughter in Tony’s dark locks. He pulls Tony close as he looks up at the night sky.

“Stay like this. Stay mine. Stay with me.” Steve swallows. “Please never get tired of me.”

That gives Tony pause. Steve feels him still, pausing their slow dance. Then Steve feels warm hands cupping his cheeks, bringing his gaze back down to earth, back home, back to Tony.

Something shifts in Tony’s eyes upon catching sight of Steve’s watery eyes.

“Hey, what brought this on?” Tony asks, voice uncharacteristically gentle. 

Steve sniffs, laughing sheepishly, a little embarrassed at being so sentimental.

“Nothing, I’m just—” Steve takes a deep breath, tightening his hold around Tony. “Just really grateful for you.”

Tony’s thumbs sweep his eyelids gently, wiping his tears away.

“Hey, look at me.”

When Steve opens his eyes, lovely brown eyes are staring right at him. 

“I don’t know about staying like this forever, sweetheart. I mean, I know I look absolutely ravishing right now, but you know I already have a few wrinkles and some white hair here and there.”

Steve rolls his eyes. As if those would ever render Tony less beautiful in his eyes. He even has a not-so-secret partiality for Tony’s salt-and-pepper hair—something Tony still finds difficult to believe.

“But! You have my word that you are, quite unfortunately, stuck with me for the rest of your life. I’m sorry, darling, but I did warn you that marrying Tony Stark comes with a no-return policy.”

Steve laughs even as he feels something glow incandescent within him, brighter and warmer than the sun on a hot summer day. 

“In fact, I’m more afraid of you getting tired of me. In a few years, there will be more wrinkles, more white hair, and who knows? Maybe I’ll even go bald. My skin’s going to get all saggy and disgusting and then—”

Steve leans in to press his lips against Tony’s, one of the tried-and-true methods to effectively shut him up. 

When he leans back, it is to glare at Tony.

“Don’t you ever use the word ‘disgusting’ to refer to my husband.”

Tony blinks. “Not even to say disgustingly attractive?”

Steve’s lips twitch. “Okay, maybe that one’s acceptable.”

Tony smiles smugly. Then he narrows his eyes. “But I’m serious, Steven. You better prepare yourself for my deteriorating beauty. It is not going to be pretty, I’m—”

Steve pushes Tony’s face back into his chest so the rest of his passionate tirade comes out all garbled and muffled. 

“I’ll love you forever. Wrinkles, white hair, saggy skin, and all.”

“Don’t forget the balding—”

“I will love you even if there isn’t a single strand of hair on your head.”

Tony stills. 

“You’d better,” he says, voice still muffled, poking a finger into Steve’s side in warning.

Steve’s hand reaches down to find the accusing finger. Ever so gently, he splays the rest of Tony’s fingers apart to interlock them with his own as he plants a kiss on Tony’s temple. 

“I promise, sweetheart.”

What I Watched This Week: February 16-23 (*Spoilers*)

Hello friends!

I am starting a new thing, where I will be writing reactions for the kdramas I watch every week. I try to avoid watching completed shows because I often just end up binge-watching them and so I only watching ongoing shows during the semester. However, this means that I have to wait nearly two months to write my reviews and analyses. Therefore, I am starting this new writing project. I hope you all will enjoy reading them!

Sisyphus: The Myth ( Thursdays and Fridays): This past week, I watched the first and second episodes of Sisyphus. Sisyphus stars Park Shin Hye and Cho Seung Woo, where the latter plays Han Tae Sul, an engineer and CEO of the successful company, Quantum and Time. On the other Park Shin Hye, plays the character, Kang Seo Hae, a mysterious young woman, that appears to have time travelled to warn Han Tae Sul. Its been a long time since I watched an action focused sci fi kdrama as I've been riding the rom-com wave for a while, but I was super excited to see Park Shin Hye in a drama. Park Shin Hye, was the first kdrama actress that I was introduced to, and my first kdrama was Doctors. However, this is my first Cho Seung Woo drama. So far, Sisyphus seems super interesting and after watching the first two episodes, I was left with many questions, especially surrounding Tae Sul's brother and why Seo Hae wants to meet Tae Sul ( it looks like they get married or atleast have a wedding, but I want to know more about the specifics about their relationship). Sisyphus has great potential as show. The only concern I have is that the plot may get too convoluted and become hard to follow along. Other similar dramas like The King Eternal Monarch seemed to fall into this trap.

Vincenzo (Saturdays and Sundays) : I also watched the first two episodes of Vincenzo starring Song Joong Ki, Jeon Yeo Been, Ok Taec Yeon, and Yoo Jae Myung. This is the second kdrama that I am watching Song Joong Ki in. The first one was the blockbuster hit "Descendants of The Sun", which starred him and his ex-wife Song Hye Kyo. After Descendants of The Sun, I spent a couple of months, obsessing over Song Joong Ki and was disappointed when I couldn't really commit to watching Arthdal Chronicles. Regardless, I absolutely LOVED the first two episodes of Vincenzo. Before watching Vincenzo, I did not know that it was a dark comedy, and thought it was a thriller, but the comedy in this show is top notch. Its hilarious seeing this dichotomy that exists with Song Joong Ki's Vincenzo Cassano. Vincenzo's the man that doesn't flinch when it comes to pulling the trigger, and yet, you see him on the brink of tears and frustration when the dry cleaners damage his vintage Italian suit. Also, though I initially watched this show for Vincenzo, Hong Cha Yeon stole my heart. She is spunky, hilarious, dramatic, and brilliant. Her character reminds me a lot of Jun Ji Hyun's Cheon Song Yi from My Love From The Star. My only concern with this drama is how reduced Ok Taec Yeon's role is. Ok Taec Yeon is a talented actor, who has succesfully acted in leading roles. Therefore, I found it disappointing to see him reduced as simply playing the dumb intern that exists for comic relief. I hope his character is more flushed out in future episodes!

She Would Never Know ( Mondays and Tuesdays): Finally, I watched Episodes 11 and 12 of She Would Never Know starring Won Jin Ah and Ro Woon. I didn't realize till today how far along I came with watching this show. I haven't been able to be as committed to watching She Would Never Know because it is not available on any mainstream streaming sites for free. Therefore, I have resorted to watching the show on Kiss Asian and the pop-up ads have been annoying. Regardless, She Would Never Know is definitely one of those slow burn dramas that don't make an immediate impact, but they grow on you over time. Cha Hyun Seung and Yoon Song Ah are finally in a relationship and I am here for the fluff! I also love how the show still manages to focus on their professional lives. I find the inner workings and conflicts that come with working for a major cosmetics company. I also am looking forward to seeing how the LGBTQI+ storyline with Cha Hyun Seung’s sister will play out and how Lee Jae Shin’s relationship with Hyo Joo will unfold. Hyo Joo is unfortunately a stereotypical kdrama character, who resorts to playing the unhinged crazy possessive girlfriend, who refuses to move on. At this point, Hyo Joo needs a therapist more than anything and I hope there is a redemption arc for her character. Also, I wish the show would go more into why she’s so hell bent on marrying Lee Jae Shin even though he’s from a lower social class and is frankly not attracted to her. Regardless, I want to give a special shout out to Ha-Eun she’s such a precious character! She really be out here giving better relationship advice than most adults.

My personal top 39 for ESC 2021

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 13) The Netherlands - Birth of a new age - I don't get the hate for this song, like at all It must be that I enjoy this kind of exotic sound in music, and plus it has such significant lyrics This runs MUCH deeper than Grow did, it's visibly so much more personal to him, and I honestly thought the eurofandom would appreciate it more And, another new entry in the ESC language family!

12) Finland - Dark side - The lyrics are very edgy-teenager-ish, but it's powerful and very well performed UMK is one of the very few NFs I payed attention to this year, and it was VERY good, I liked almost all the songs, but Finland definitely made a good choice

11) Denmark - Øve os på hinanden‎ - The SUPREME guilty pleasure. Except I'm not even that guilty lmao It's super catchy and it remind me of vintage Eurovision, which means I'm here for it :" I think it may even qualify, in case shocking everyone except me lol

10) Malta - Je me casse - The song is cool. It takes a topic and takes the most out of it Destiny is an amazing singer, very professional for her age, and, while part of my probably loves last year's song more, this is objectively much stronger Do I see it as a winner though? ...ehhhh I must say I don't

9) Italy - Zitti e buoni - It's true that this song took quite some time to grow on me, but it did and now I'm at a point where I struggle to believe they are actually there representing us Like, you know when national groups of eurofans discuss their dream artists that they would like to see in ESC? In the Italian groups "Måneskin" was a name that would *always* come out And now they're there. Representing us. And they are favourites. Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Will they actually win? I don't know. We never came out of the rehearsals looking THIS good. Could be a sign. Spirit of ESC 1991 watch over us lmao

8) Australia - Technicolour - I know I am in the minority, but I love the colourful quirkiness of this! I still hope she can qualify despite all odds, there, I said it

7) Germany - I don't feel hate - Everyone seems to hate this lol but it's so positive and uplifting and he's so cute!

6) Iceland - 10 years - I said this more than once, but I think there's a very big chance they would have won last year, and it was only right for them to try again with something very similar Now, no, this isn't as strong as Think about things, not even close But it's a perfectly coherent continuation of it, it's just as sweet and quirky and everything about it is so...*handmade* (like, the artigianal instruments they made themselves are such a cool adidtion to the performance) I'm ready to bet that if TaT didn'y exist, we would be giving this much more credit I still don't rule out them doing VERY well, especially considering with Daði and Gagnamagnið the performance clearly complements the song (and the intro already looks epic!)

5) Croatia - Tick Tock - I never would have expected how much I keep this in loop lol Croatia sent two very different things these past two years, and I loved both and have both in my top 5, so here we are :D I'm so glad they kept the Croatian lines because they're my favourite part of the song and they make me feel things

4) Russia - Russian woman - The most interesting song Russia has sent since I don't even know when because it probably goes back to waaaay before I started watching ESC lmao This has such an attitude and a great message and I love it And all that harassment Manizha had to face, she's so owning it Her charisma makes the stage light up like a lantern! I hope she'll take a top 10

3) Ukraine - Shum - Clearly, the day Ukraine disappoints me has yet to come The day Ukraine doesn't build an amazing staging around their song also has to yet see its light lol I saw someone describe this song as modern and ancient at the same time, and I think it really fits It took some time adjusting to the revamped version, but it payed off quite well, and now I can't go back anymore, and btw I'm so glad they kept that traditional flute (whose specific name I can't remember right now) element! I hope they will also get back into top 10

Unrelated to the song but, Kateryna looks like some kind of forest nymph in her stage dress, and also the cut of her eyes is elegant out of this world

2) Lithuania - Discoteque - This song entered my mind the moment it was released, and it never got out :" It's quite simply addictive, and I may have lost some weight dancing to it around my house lmao It's also the first time anyone from my family gets obsessed with a Eurovision song, and it's impressive that, imo, they were actually the only returning artists to upgrade their attempt from last year, and they did so despite all the expectations!

1) France - Voilà - So. I admit I spent all the time leading up to the French NF ignoring this song with all my might. Then the NF night came, Barbara's performance happened, and I sat on my couch shivering for a good half an hour THIS is how you do authentic, THIS is how you do deep, and THIS is how you do French c:

Also, Barbara is such a character. She looks extremely self-conscious about how good she is and yet also very humble at the same time, and it may sound weird when said like this but it's actually pretty cool She's so charming, and cultured, and well-spoken, and slightly crazy at the same time, and I 100% have a crush on her Like, she straight up gives me butterflies in my stomach. I suspect it's the short curly hair. lol

Overall, this is a pretty strong year Like, there are many songs that could win and I wouldn't even be mad

As I finish writing this, Italy is considered by most as a good contender for the win, right beside France The fact that we are 1st in the odds has me quaking, because the 2017 hype nightmare is still fresh in my memory, and I'm trying not to think about it too much because another ESC week with that much pressure on our representative's shoulders is something many of us would have gladly avoided :" At the same time the possibility of a victory feels so...inside of our reach! It would be so good! And it would be about time! aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

Anyway I have a feeling things may be shaping to be between France, Italy and Iceland, and if this ends up being true I will be honestly living for it, I would sign for a top 3 like that right now!

[mimizepp]

ahhh could I ask for a matchup 👉🏻👈🏻 any jojo part n any gender is fine! I’m non-binary but present very femininely (they/them pronouns). Very chubby, fairly short (5’2) - i wear a lot of vintage dresses and styles!, Gemini sun Capricorn moon Scorpio rising! 4w5 enneagram type! I’m autistic and struggle with anxiety and ocd; I think I’d probably describe myself as ambitious but shy; I have trouble coming out of my shell but when I have set my mind to it I go at it with all of my might! I’m quiet and introverted, but I do like other people being interested in me - i used to do a lot of performing, so it’s not that I don’t like being the centre of attention, but more that I like getting to pick and choose when and how I get it! Definitely a perfectionist. I like musicals and old books, and I have a lot of hobbies because I’ll try anything once but I do a lot of writing, baking and embroidery/sewing! I’m not super affectionate or a super big fan of pda but I like small reassuring things to remind me my partner isn’t ashamed to be seen with me (a lot of bullying has made me insecure about myself). I like someone who I can sit and coexist with even if we’re not necessarily doing the same thing - being able to do different things together is very romantic to me. My love languages are giving/receiving gifts and acts of service! Tysm if you do this (and sorry if I misread and your matchup requests are closed!!)

i match you with...

*°:⋆ₓₒ gyro! ₓₒ⋆:°*

- anyone with ambitions is quick to grab gyro’s attention, and that part of you is what first tugged on his heartstrings. then he got to know that shyness and everything behind it. he adores you, and it’s not hard to see why! everything about you just struck a chord within him, and it was clear that you were the one.

- gyro is always asking you more about yourself. your morals and interests mean a great deal to him, as they make up the finer details in the image of love. he gets a little too excited once he learns of your abilities with embroidery / sewing and will practically be begging you to make him a lil teddy bear

- gyro has perfected the art of loving you. not big on pda? perfectly fine! you can always tell how gyro is feeling, and the infatuated look in his eyes as you catch him staring at you says it all. italian cowboy bb is in loooove <3 

- he’ll also let you ride his horse with him, somewhat surprisingly. gyro will take you over lady lucky any day, which speaks volumes

- he’s very caring and more thoughtful than one may expect, so don’t be surprised when he starts picking up on the tiniest things about you and going wild over how cute they are (ex: the way your brows furrow from time to time as you’re reading, the smile that graces your face when you put on your favorite vintage dress... gyro serotonin up 700%)

- btw gyro reaaaally wants you to style him in some vintage-wear (or anything that’s not his usual cowboy / western attire tbh) if that style looks so great on you it should be the same on him... it must be!

- if you’re ever experiencing an anxiety attack when with gyro, his gentle embrace and soothing voice work wonders. he’s very quick to adapt to how you’re feeling and is willing to go wherever / get whatever / do anything that must be done to ensure you are comfortable and feeling safe

- after you show gyro your favorite musicals you’re going to find him humming various melodies constantly. he couldn’t tell you the name of the song or even the production itself, but that won’t stop the tune that’s stuck in his head. as bothersome as this may become, it’s still very sweet to know he enjoyed the music

- let gyro teach you the spin techniques. PLS.

* weather was also a potential match for you! *

[gretavanfleetposts]

How’s it going? Please, can i also have a ship?~ I’m an Aries, I’m 5’-5’1ish. I have long wavy natural brown hair, hazel eyes. I’m of italian descent. I enjoy painting and dream of becoming a writer. I love flowers and I love music, from all genres, from all around the world and all time periods. Go-to songs would probably be anything Bob Dylan. I’m very much an introvert, painfully shy… so I usually keep company with extreme extroverts! A favorite book… I’ll have to say fight club cause that’s one that really stuck with me and I enjoyed the plot, writing style and the characters a lot. I like to watch documentaries. I only shop second hand, I love dresses or big t-shirt so that I can walk around bare legs and barefoot. I’m a worrier but I live that hippie/boho lifestyle xD I like other peoples pets, but I love kids and i’d rather have 10 babies then a pet of my own. I’m a super picky eater, but I prefer vegan dishes, I don’t eat takeout ever, only food I cook myself. I also make and mix my own herbal teas, I love liquorice candy. I don’t drink any alcohol or any pop/fizzydrinks. An ideal date would probably be something really simple, as long as there is vibe, I prefer someone who is not afraid or bothered by taking the lead.

thank you so much~

Hey there!

❤: First of all, you sound gorgeous and really down to earth. I can totally picture the hippie/boho lifestyle you're talking about and I love that. And you seem so artistic too! I love how many artsy people there are in this community. I appreciate the fact that you always cook too. I bet you're an amazing cook if for no other reason than the sheer amount of practice you've had!

Ship: Josh ☀

dBecause: I think you and Josh give off very similar vibes. Maybe he's way more talkative but his extrovertedness sounds perfect for you. He would love to cook with you and make tea with you. And I think he might even be on the same page about the babies too. I can see the two of you going thrifting together, each picking out pieces for the other to try on. He would be right there with you living that hippie/boho lifestyle.

Scenario:

For your first date, Josh had suggested the two of you go thrifting

He thought it was a great way to get to know someone. He was convinced that the items people picked out at a thrift store said a lot about who they were as a person

It was like a window into their mind and he was eager to get to know yours

He took you to his favorite thrift store

It was filled with vintage 70's pieces

Everything in the store just seemed so Josh

It was like he belonged there

He fit right in with the mannequins

The two of you browsed for a while

Occasionally one of you would hold up a rather absurd piece of clothing for the other to giggle at

After two hours of browsing, each of you had amassed an armful of clothing to try on

He insisted on a fashion show, wanting to see each individual piece you had tried on

There were a few colorful tops and many pairs of billowy pants, all of which you felt neutral about despite Josh seeming to love them all

Finally you got to the end of your try-on pile, a beautiful, long, floral boho dress

You slipped it on, admiring yourself for a moment in the mirror before pushing the door open once again to show Josh

He looked you up and down for a moment, speechless

It was the quietest he had been since the date had started

Maybe the quietest he had ever been

Finally he spoke

"You look amazing," he breathed out

You blushed at his compliment and how breathless he seemed at just the sight of you

You were definitely taking this one home with you

I hope you liked it! Thank you for the request!

Molly Headcanons!💖🕷️🕸️

Here are some Molly headcanons that I came up with!💖🕷️🕸️💖🕷️🕸️ I was planning on using them in a future roleplay blog if I still decide to create it. Enjoy!🙂

•When they were alive and human, Molly was the one who introduced Angel (Anthony) to drag.

• Molly had two closest best friends who were girls growing up. Those three were besties who were inseparable! Molly's glad she was able to meet and reunite with them in Hell! (When they saw each other in Hell for the first time, they did the classic high pitched girl squeal before running up to each other in a group hug, jumping up and down.)

•The Shop Til' You Drop Queen (both in life and in death)!

• Angel is her favorite brother, but don't tell Arackniss that.

• Molly and Henroin have a sorta Mabel Pines and Grunkle Stan dynamic / relationship.

• Keeps small candies like jelly beans, gummy bears, skittles, etc in her boobs and pulls them out whenever she needs a quick snack.

• Lives in a cute, pink vintage house! The inside is super girlified! She calls it The Dreamhouse 2!

• Babysits Fat Nuggets for Angel when he's at work.

• Loves throwing girly sleepovers at her place and invites Charlie, Vaggie, Niffty, Cherri Bomb, Mimzy, Velvet, and Stella (she's my best friend's oc)!

• When she was alive, she use to always brag about her "italiano tan" but really she always used fake tanner. She's naturally a fair, pale skinned girl.

• She mostly was used for espionage in the mob family, since she’s the most innocent looking. She always baked a nice, fresh batch of poisoned cookies for the rival gang.

• Her fav methods were and still are guns, knifes, and poison. She always thought that she deserved to have the biggest gun since she's the prettiest!

•When she shows her list to Arackniss, he blunty tells her that most of those aren't even "actual careers" or are "extremely unrealistic" but she doesn't listen lol. When she shows her list to Angel though she's glad that he at least supports her dreams and tells her that she can do anything she puts her mind to! After all, she's super smart! Henroin might not make a comment on the list at all cause he doesn't wanna get on Molly's bad side.

• Call her dumb and she'll go hardcore Bubbles on your ass. Ditzy is fine, BUT DUMB is a no no.

"Oh, my!"

V's eyes widened and his protective instincts kicked in as he saw Lady just bump into you. On the other hand, you didn't even notice it when the woman who looked like Audrey Hepburn suddenly, and out of the blue, appeared just like that, and you totally blamed it on your lack of focus.

"Oh, how silly of me!" Lady apologized with a smile as she helped you on your feet.

"It's alright. I wasn't paying attention. I - "

"Jive." Lady whispered to you the moment she leaned in closer to your ear.

"Sorry?"

"That's the next dance." Lady went on, surveying the whole room at the same time with her sharp eyes. Probably on the lookout for her sly partner, as well. But, this only proved she's even more sly than Lancaster, himself. "And Fleminger is absolutely fond of Jive. So, make it count."

"Why are you doing this? Aren't we supposed to be enemies?"

"Are we?" Lady answered, and with a wink, she waved goodbye and made her way towards Lancaster, who was currently being pampered by Fleminger's older guests.

So, Jive,... is Fleminger's favorite dance,...

Just like,... !

Wait, was that the reason she - ?

"My dear, are you alright?" You heard V ask you, bringing you back from your own reverie to reality.

Looking up at him with renewed determination and keeping the little facts you've just stitched together for your own ruminations later, you answered, "Yes, I'm,... super!" Drumming your chin with your fingers, you smiled as a wild and very sudden idea just came into your mind. You were one hundred percent sure that your grandmother would faint if she finds out about this plan of yours but, you might as well make this once in a lifetime gamble worth it, right? Looking up once more at your partner, you laid your hand on his arm and said, "I'm just gonna,... fix something."

And to this, you saw how V's eyebrows furrow in utter confusion. "P - pardon? Is everything alright?"

"I'll be right back, I promise." You told him with a reassuring smile.

Slightly running towards the powder room, your eyes quickly surveyed what the other Queen competitors were wearing. And if Lady was, indeed, correct, you assumed that all of them would have a really hard time moving with those voluminous skirts of theirs.

"Ugh. Fleminger, you are such a huge sadist." You thought out loud as you opened the door to the powder room, which was luckily unoccupied, and looked at yourself in the mirror. Giving your precious vintage gown one last look of pity like it was a criminal on the verge of execution, you grabbed the skirt and started tearing it, the sound of ripping fabric piercing your sensitive ears and making you feel sorry for your great grandmother, who previously owned it. With a huge sigh and a spark of inspiration, you, then, reached up to your hair and pulled the pins that kept it secure, letting the (H/C) tresses tumble in waves at your back.

After making sure that the ripped fabric was disposed in the proper place, you gave yourself one last look in the mirror. "Not bad, actually." You told yourself as you made your way back to your partner. Ignoring the wide variety of comments by the guests who saw you, you took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Told you I'll be right back."

V turned around, and his initial expression of relief upon knowing that you're well turned quickly into that of complete shock when his wide green eyes roamed on your loose hair down to your bare legs. You couldn't help but feel sorry for the poet. Almost.

"(Y/N), dear, I don't think that's - !" V stuttered in distress, wanting to blurt out the word inappropriate as gently as he could.

"Trust me, V." You reassured him as you smiled confidently at him. Yes, you don't quite trust Lady. But, her words earlier,...

There was no way in hell that she would lie to you! No fricking way!

You looked up at the upper boxes and noticed Fleminger excitedly leaning in closer to his seat the moment the musicians picked up their instruments. What's more, you also noticed that his eyes landed on yours.

Taking a deep breath and carelessly brushing a wayward lock off your face, you spread your arms wide with much confidence and waited for V to take the lead.

His heart pounding wildly, a small bead of sweat trickling down his forehead, and his eyes wide with anticipation, V finally realized what you were planning to do. Your important, non - verbal message seemingly received and well - noted by the wise poet, you let V take your hands. With one last nod to your partner as soon as the music began, you left everything to your actual skills, your stamina, and your trust towards him.

Together, you'll see this one dance through.

And one step in, you knew. You both knew. There's still a chance to turn this whole situation around to your favor.

***

🌸 Three Wishes 🌸

***

XIV

***

Wooh!

So, you're still thinking of me,

Just like I know you should.

I cannot give you everything, you know I wish I could.

I'm so high at the moment.

I'm so caught up in this.

Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke.

But we still got love to give.

Christopher grimaced at the way the audience was seemingly entranced, not by him and his partner, but by something else. Their excitement felt different from before during the first three dances where he simply dominated the rest of the dancers with ease and without so much as a single effort. And when he made one wrong decision to turn away from his beautiful partner and see for himself just what these ignorant people were cheering for now, he realized. He finally realized, and because of that, he lost his balance for the first time that evening.

It was you. And your lover.

Such vibrant moves! Such,... perfectly coordinated steps! Such,... powerful connection! And chemistry!

"What,... in the actual fuck?!" Christopher blurted out when he saw you and V wowing the crowd with your quick Jive kicks and flicks. And what's more,...

Since when was V able to move like that?!

That smile on his face,...

He seemed to enjoy the Jive too much! The way he's giving it his all and showing off his flashy moves at the same time,...

First verse in and you're already giving it your all?! Thought the evil doctor as he turned his attention back to Lady to try and outshine your routine. Are you really that desperate to win against me?!

"We'll see about that!" Christopher screamed as he forced Lady to do the American Spin, making the woman almost stumble to her feet.

I'll win this game! Christopher thought as he sadistically led Lady. The flashier the moves, the better! I'll become King and make you pay for humiliating me!

While we're young, dumb,

Young, young dumb and broke.

Young, dumb.

Young, young, dumb, and broke.

Young, dumb.

Young, young, dumb, and broke.

Young, dumb, broke high school kids.

Yadadadadadadada

Yadadadadadada

Yadadadadadadada

Young, dumb, broke high school kids.

Adelaide threw an infuriated look at the host of this wretched party, who was watching the show from that lofty upper box. And the man seemed to be massively enjoying the show! And at what expense? The women tripping on their skirts as they try to keep up with the brutal pace of the Jive? The men covering up their partners' mistakes by making unnecessary moves?

Her grandchild ripping her skirt and letting her hair loose wildly like that?!

"Ugh!" Adelaide exclaimed in utter disgust as she observed the man. "You never change your ways, Flanagan!"

We have so much in common.

We argue all the time.

You always say I'm wrong, but,

I'm pretty sure I'm right.

What's fun about commitment?

When we have our life to live?

Yeah, we're just young, dumb, and broke.

But we still got love to give.

While we're young, dumb,

Young, young dumb and broke.

Young, dumb.

Young, young, dumb, and broke.

Young, dumb.

Young, young, dumb, and broke.

Young, dumb, broke high school kids.

You felt yourself so energized with that yadada that the women were singing. Their overwhelming energy and eagerness to support their lead singer gave you even more motivation to support your own leader, who was surprisingly very good at this dance!

As he led you to the mooch right after that little hip bump, V couldn't help but be amazed at what you have shown so far. Nico did say that you can dance the Jive but, he never really expected you to be this good, that he almost wondered where you pitched in those extra dance lessons in between your music studies. What's even more, you sure knew how to follow his lead and still look graceful doing it. And that was a vast understatement. 

Seeing you enjoy this wonderful dance with him made him enjoy the entire dance, as well. And as long as you're happy, he's happy.

And that was the only thing he wished for.

For you to be happy.

With him.

As the song came to a close, you made one last effort to make a graceful bow, hoping to still look decent after being sorely beaten by Christopher Lancaster and his stunning partner. Taking hold of V's hand, you looked up at him and gave him that smile of yours that never failed to make him feel warm.

"Thank you, V." You simply told him.

The man smiled back at you but, a bit of confusion was still present in his facial expression. The poor poet honestly thought that he did nothing so special and that he didn’t deserve your gratitude. "It's always a pleasure." He answered regardless.

You two were about to step out of the massive ballroom when you noticed some people cheering wildly despite the dance being over. And this made the others cheer, as well.

But, why?

"Bravo!" A man dressed as a general cheered at the top of his lungs.

"Encore!" A woman, who was dressed as Marie Antoinette, added.

"Elvis!" Some group of young women dressed like the Spice Girls cheered in unison. "ELVIS! KING ELVIS!"

"Elvis?" You muttered in question as your eyes met with V's. "They're cheering for you!”

"I don't understand." V answered, his eyebrows knitted, too many questions going on in his mind. "We barely did anything,... "

"MY QUEEN!" Another man, who was dressed as an Italian painter, called. "MY QUEEN!" And his attention was totally directed at you. Not at Lady, not at Trish. You.

"QUEEN!" Some of the men started cheering, as well.

"QUEEN! QUEEN! QUEEN!"

"They were calling for you!" Trish, who was standing next to you, happily told you, shaking you a bit to keep you focused.

Dante, who was only ever so proud of V, patted the poet on the shoulder ( a bit too much ), and beamed at him. "The floor is yours, Mr. Poetry!"

"IMPOSSIBLE!" Christopher, who was watching the incredible scene unfold right before his very own eyes, murmured, unable to believe that you and V just stole his thunder right under his nose with just a simple dance.

HOW CAN THIS BE?!

"It looks like we have a winner." Fleminger declared as he gestured for his musicians to do the much requested encore. The leader nodded and gestured for the singers to have another go at it. And when that Jive music started playing once more, the other couples left the ball room to make room for you and V, all of them acknowledging your clear and clean victory.

Well, except Christopher, of course.

"Hey," The evil doctor called after Lady when he saw her going towards Dante and Trish. "HEY! WE'RE NOT DONE YET!"

"Are we?" Lady responded with much sass as she finally left her partner to cling onto Dante instead.

"Hey, babe!" The tall Devil Hunter, who was only too grateful to have two beautiful women by his side, greeted with much gusto. "Looking sharp as always!"

"Leaving your partner so soon?" Trish teased, an evil smirk fully and intentionally directed at Lady.

And to this, Lady just giggled and waved her hand. "That man needs a babysitter, not a partner. He's just too old to be grumbling like that. Besides, I’m done collecting his handsome payment for being his partner for the evening.”

"Whatever you say,..."

"May I have the honor of this dance, my lady?" V asked you with a proud smile as he held out his hand to you.

"It would be such an honor." You answered happily and graciously as you took his hand.

My name is Olly, nice to meet you can I tell you, baby?

Look around there's a whole lot of pretty ladies.

But not like you, you shine so bright, yeah.

I was wondering if you and me could spend a minute?

On the floor up and close getting lost in it?

I won't give up without a fight.

I just wanna, oh baby!

I just want you to dance with me tonight!

So come on, oh baby!

I just want you to dance with me tonight!

We're getting sweaty, hot and heavy in the crowd now.

Loosen up and let you hands go down, down.

Go with it girl, yeah just close your eyes, yeah!

I feel the music moving through your body.

Looking at you I can tell you want me.

Don't stop keep moving till the morning light, yeah!

When I saw you there,

Sitting all alone in the dark,

Acting like you didn't have a care.

I knew right then, you'd be mine.

We'd be dancing the whole damn night, like,

Oh baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight!

So come on, oh baby!

I just want you to dance with me tonight!

How can two people have so much fun dancing so energetically together like this? How can these two not mind the fatigue and stress of this crowded and heated place? How can these two lovers have all the fun in the world as if no one else existed but them?

You would never know the answer.

All you knew was that you were here with the person who made you smile. The only person who healed your broken heart.

The one and only man who made you so happy like this that you forgot all of your troubles.

And you wanted to be happy with him, not only during these mooches, these flicks and kicks, these American spins, or these simple chasses.

You wanted to be happy with him, and only him, even after this Jive.

You wanted to be happy with V. Always.

And not only you. Nico and Nero, who apparently just returned during your encore performance, were both cheering for you. As well as your stubborn but loving grandmother, who was honestly sticking out like sore thumb among the well - dressed crowd with her non - vintage attire comprised of a bright purple coat, a bright pink beret, and a pair of little blue pumps. Oh, yes, she looked so proud, and she should be! After all, she spent a huge amount of time zealously and passionately teaching you the Jive in between your piano lessons when you were just a little girl. And you kind of just figured out why after all those years of harsh, grueling footwork training!

You were on your way to your loved ones after the music changed to disco for everyone to join in when Christopher, who just appeared out of nowhere, grabbed your arm and forced you to face him.

"What did you do?" The evil doctor questioned, positively fuming with anger after being humiliated. "You,... FUCKING BITCH! WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?!"

Finally having enough of Christopher's bullying and abuse, V raised his hand in an almost blind rage, ready to snap his fingers and bring chaos down unto his sorry ass when Nico interrupted by grabbing his arm.

"Ah, ah, ah! Ya haven't met our friend, yet!" Nico warned as she gave V a threatening look and forced his arm down. Gesturing for Nero to come forward, all of you watched, in utter shock and horror, as the young Devil Hunter dragged a shady looking man forward, making Christopher's veins pop up from his already red forehead.

"Who is this man?" You questioned as you uncomfortably watched Nero manhandle the poor, Kevin Bacon -  wannabe guy.

"His name is Salvador!" Nero answered with a vicious smile as he crushed the man with his muscular hug, seemingly hurting him more than introducing him. "I believe he is a friend of Dr. Lancaster here."

"Is,... that so?" V asked, his eyes dangerously narrowed and his patience already snapping like a twig.

"Yeah." Nico replied. "And check this out!" She exclaimed excitedly, taking out Sparda's ripped set of vintage clothing from her backpack. "He has this all along!"

"What's the meaning of all this?" You questioned, alarmed after seeing V's infuriated face as he glanced at the fabric in Nico's hands.

"BOSS, TELL THEM THE TRUTH!" Salvador pleaded, visibly suffering from Nero's painful hold. "TELL THEM!"

"I - I,... DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT - !" Christopher yelled, feeling hopelessly cornered, as he tried to get away from you once and for all. Unfortunately for him, Dante, who sensed all this unease and left the dancefloor for a while to come to your rescue, was already standing behind him, and the moment he turned away, he bumped against the Legendary Devil Hunter's rock hard chest, making him stumble on the ground ungracefully.

"Hey, is there something wrong here?" Dante asked good - naturedly, trying not to escalate the situation to prevent it from getting worse.

"He stole father's things." V answered monotonously, his enraged eyes still on Christopher. "And made an enemy of Sparda by tormenting (Y/N)."

"Ah, is that so?!" Dante, whose eyebrows began twitching the moment he heard the word torment, said as he began cracking his knuckles, the sound of his popping joints frightening poor Lancaster and Salvador beyond their own wits.

"Oh, please, you're being too harsh on the poor man!" You interrupted with a smile, startling everyone, most especially V.

"But, dear, this man hurt you - !" V argued but he was cut off when you helped Christopher on his feet 

"Thank you!" The doctor cried as he graciously took your hands. "Thank you so much, (Y/N)! I' am very much - !"

"FUCK YOU!" The crisp and horrible curse escaped your mouth as you let out a powerful right hook that connected straight to Lancaster's cheek, feeling his head jerk deliciously sideways beneath your hardened fist. The man stumbled on the ground once more, and when he tried to get up, he saw blood on the floor where his face was. He looked at you in fright and scrambled to his feet, making his way outside and finally leaving all of you, hopefully for good.

"BOSS! DON'T LEAVE ME!" Salvador called as he wriggled free from Nero's iron grasp and chased after the defeated doctor.

“That hand,... PRACTICED THE PIANO 40 FREAKING HOURS A DAY!” You screamed at your pathetic, narcissistic ex, and, man, it felt so, so good! "Wow." You breathed a sigh of relief, a proud look on your face. "That was so intense!”

"You betcha!" Nico laughed as she watched the two men scurry their way outside in fright.

"They should think twice before crossing any Sparda next time." Nero added, shrugging his shoulders.

"There won't be a next time! Mark my words.” Dante corrected as he stretched his long arms and made his way back to the dancefloor.

"I shouldn't say this but," V added as he closed the gap between the two of you and linked his fingers with yours. " … I'm so proud of what you've done, (Y/N). And I won't ever regret saying it."

"Haha, thanks."

"And what is going on here, if I may inquire?" You heard Fleminger's voice. Apparently, he has been watching the whole scene unfold right before him in silence. And he didn't look overjoyed.

"Well, I,... " You stuttered, feeling nervous under the host's scrutinizing gaze. "Took care of,... something?"

"Here, man." Nico whispered to V as she handed him something from her backpack.

Fleminger shook his head with an apologetic look on his face. "You must know that,... violence,… is strictly discouraged in these halls of entertainment. And for that, I must disqualify the both of you from winning the title of King and Queen for this evening." Fleminger declared, bringing down the hammer of justice right before you and V. Shaking his head with a distinct frown in his face, he turned around and muttered, "Such a shame."

"Go for it! I'm countin' on ya!" Nico told V as she pushed him closer towards you.

"Is there something wrong, V?" You asked, the sweet victory of winning against Christopher and the bitter sting of being disqualified as Queen still very much fresh in your system.

The man smiled as he shook his head. Then, making one swift decision to trust his gut and finally get this one final plan for the evening over and done with, he took your hand and led you outside, getting past the people who congratulated you, both for dominating the dance floor and for giving that evil doctor a piece of your mind.

That,... bitch! That fucking bitch and her skinny boyfriend who thinks he owns the world!

"You thought you have the last laugh, eh?" Christopher said, and as he was about to reach for that thing in his breast pocket, he felt a strange presence behind him. Looking back, he saw a tall, and ridiculously attractive dark - skinned man who was leaning against a pillar just outside Fleminger's mansion. Unlike the other guests, he was not dressed in his best vintage and he looked like he was only there to crash the party. His dark, gleaming eyes seemed to observe him very, very closely, and it felt like those eyes were piercing through his skull right to the depths of his soul.

"Can I help you?" Christopher asked, suddenly feeling the atmosphere getting heavy right before this stranger's presence.

The man raised his eyebrows. His hands still in the pocket of his grey pants, he nodded and spoke in a very deep, and yet, sweet - like - honey, voice. "Maelstrom."

"Excuse me? What the hell are you talking about - ?!"

"Exactly." The man answered. "I thought I sensed something special here. Alas, I was mistaken." The man left the pillar and turned the other way to leave. But before that, Christopher heard the man mutter something under his breath. "Ah, such a shame. No wonder Bedlam has been so down for decades now, I see. Aha, time to search for someone else,..."

"EXCUSE ME?! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU - ?!"

"Who are you talking to, scum?"

Just then, Christopher heard another voice behind him. But unlike the honeyed voice of the attractive hobo who just left, this one sounded like it was filled with such poison. He turned around and found a tall, white - haired man standing before him. He was staring him down with those cold eyes of his, and his right hand was lurking dangerously close to the hilt of the katana on his left hand.

"What now?!" Christopher howled in agony, feeling as if he was losing his mind completely.

"I believe," The white - haired man drawled, his voice sounding so much like a feral hiss, as he finally unsheathed the Yamato and pointed it at Christopher. " ... you have something that is mine in your possession?"

Wait a second here,...

Tall, ridiculously virile - looking, and white - haired,...

"Another,... SPARDA?!" Christopher helplessly gasped in fright as he felt his bladder fail on him.

Vergil gave him one last sadistic smile as he went closer to the man who almost ruined his brother's evening with you.

"And that's the last time you'll ever say that name." The eldest son of Sparda said as he raised the Yamato,...

i’ll start with flaws since that’s easier >.< :

i have narcolepsy which is a big pain. it really affects me and my everyday life. so, typically i’m really tired and it’s hard for me to sleep at night so i’m a big night owl to the max. but when i’m energized, i’m like energized energized! i’ve been told i’m intimidating, and that it seems as though i don’t like to show emotion. i really don’t like to show my more negative emotions, i don’t want others to see me as weak and look down upon me. i’m a super impulsive person and don’t nessecarily think when i’m in a panic which a lot of times end me up in bad situations. i’m quiet which i don’t think it’s bad, but i’m not afraid to speak my mind and call someone out when needed. i’m stubborn and hate hate hate asking others for help. i judge a lot and i’m a really selective person, so if we are friends, then that means something. i hate unorganized spaces and i don’t like giving my opinion. if i don’t like something i will go out of my way to avoid it and just ignore whatever it is whether it’s schoolwork or a person, i could care less. i just really don’t care about things either way life will go on and i just have to live with it, i could care less.

now for a more positive go:

i’m a super fun person! like i said, when i’m energized i’m energized! when i’m most awake is at night typically so that’s when i do lots of things! i can do a hella good scooby doo impression like scarily good. my favorite thing to do is go to get slurpees at 7/11 when it’s 4 am because the employees are too tired to yell at me for getting two flavors. favorite song is womanizer by britany spears and i love to scream it at the top of my lungs to feel like a baddie b. i’m very loyal and keep my friends super close, because if i trust them then that is saying something. i’m super independent which can be a good and bad thing, i try to do everything efficiently and alone. i’m a perfectionist which is also probably a bad thing agh. i really like monster energy drinks and when i just straight up don’t sleep catch me surviving off of pure willpower with a monster in hand. i try to make the most of my life while i can, because i know if i die it might as well be in a badass way so i’m pretty adventurous! my passion in this world is figure skating and i’m a national champion! i love to surf and i love to snowboard. i’m a huge reader and i even work at a local bookstore! you can catch me with a book usually and i love anything to do with true crime, marine biology, and linguistics. i love anime and it makes me all happy and cozy to sit up in a. corner on a saturday morning and binge watch one piece with my chai tea. i also love christmas, especially the song mele kalikimaka i could sing it year round! my favorite thing in the entire world is plants eeeee!! i love plants so much i could go on for hours about them, i have many plants and my favorite one is a monstera a close friend gave me and ahh i love them! though, runner ups behind are chai tea and candles! i play the viola and i have a love hate relationship with the instrument. my favorite songs are lucy in the sky with diamonds and just like heaven but i also love classical music like clair de lune and danse macabre. my favorite bands are queen, nirvana, abba, billie holiday, and fleetwood mac! i’m a sucker for anything vintage and from the 40’s or 70’s. i have a dark academia type aesthetic i guess and love dressing of the sort.

hmm fun facts:

i’m from the netherlands and i love love love snow and any sort of rainy weather

my favorite book or manga i guess, is anything by junji ito

i can dislocate my fingers and relocate them

i love ferrets! i used to volunteer at my local shelter all the time.

i love horror movies as well the movie sleeping beauty it always makes me happy

i love wrapping presents

the way i got my scar was by once hitting my head on a coat rack because i was way too confident i was dreaming and that my head would just go right through, i wasn’t dreaming.

i’ve been kicked out of a walmart for laughing at a bag of marshmallows when i was way too tired and i probably looked like a maniac to be fair

these aren’t very fun facts bleh

my favorite color is either orange or navy blue and white

i’m rambling now and itend to ramble when i write i’m so sorry, thank you so much for your time and have a good day !!!

OH MY GOSH CLAIR DE LUNE IS THE MOST ROMANTIC SONG ON THIS EARTH?? Shit makes me cry.

Omg you’re such a mood too

I’m matching you up with Akaashi!

Especially with the negative traits that you’ve highlighted, I think he’d be a great option for you! Akaashi’s a trustworthy individual; I think he has an aura that just screams “trustworthy”, and we KNOW he’s a loyal mf. He’s a bit worried about SOME of your habits, but he would understand that you can’t exactly control your narcolepsy. Will he search it up to see if there’s anything he can do for you? Yes, absolutely. But he won’t outright help you; he’ll only start doing that (wordlessly) when he notices that you don’t reach out for help.

Oh my gosh, your dynamic is so amazing?? Akaashi being calm and collected and you being an absolute gremlin. I love it. At the beginning you’re just like “hey look what I can do” and you freakin dislocate a finger and boy freaks out, but after two years he just goes “nice baby I’m proud :)” and really, he IS proud. And he’ll tell you often. He also never misses a skating event; he’ll make sure to clear his schedule for them. Akaashi really enjoys the sport, it’s really beautiful to him. He thinks it’s an art.

You two are such an Intellectual Couple though?? With you practically being a linguist and him in literature? Big respect, people see you and they have to fight back the urge to bow. Y’all are royalty, and that’s that.

ALSO AOSKSJDHS THE THOUGHT OF YOU TWO SETTLED DOWN ON THE COUCH WITH FACE MASKS AND WINE WATCHING TRUE CRIME SHOWS IS SO FUNNY YET SO ACCURATE THESE ARE YOUR FAVOURITE DATES

Songs!!

- Jazz Suite No. 2: VI. Waltz II, Dmitri Shostakovich (do not question me; Akaashi wants to learn the waltz for this song)

- I’ll Follow the Sun, The Beatles

- Moondance, Van Morrison

- Win, David Bowie

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

what kind of hobbies do the papas and copia have?

(Trying to get into bullet point format rather than JUST paragraphs for multiple points- let me know how this reads! Feedback always appreciated!)

Papa Nihil: 

~One of the biggest hobbies we have seen Nihil do is dip into jazz, especially with his saxophone! He has been playing for years, and is well versed in a few different instruments; but the saxophone is his indisputable favorite. He’s always bemoaned he never made a Jazz album. Even with his lungs, Nihil refuses to put down the instrument. Yes, he loved to sing, but Nihil feels so much more personal connection when playing an instrument. There is something very fulfilling about it! 

~ Nihil absolutely loves anything to do with horror movies or vintage films! Believe it or not, he’s always had a taste with analyzing horror films no matter how b-rated or cheesy. It’s something he has always done with Imperator since the 70′s. Ever since VHSes were invented, he has started a VERY big collection of horror movies. Chances are he has seen every single one of them at least twice. Nihil’s favorites are the Omen and other Satanist based films. 

~The Grand Papa has a small bit of a gambling streak, namely with dice or cards. If there is one way to get Nihil to play ANYTHING with you, it’s having a fresh deck of cards just waiting to be split! Nihil is always down for ‘sweetening the deal’ and playing for actual money (or hard candies.) Loves poker, Texas hold em, and anything you can win a pot in! Honestly, he’s so good you might as well not count on winning a giant pile of werther’s originals. Nihil wins EVERY time! Will also DESTROY anyone in Uno.

Papa I:

~No one is surprised by this, but his religious studies are his #1 hobby. Papa never gets sick of learning about his own religion, or that of others. The man eats, breathes, thinks, and LIVES Lucifer. It’s a way of life. Find a job you love and you never work a day in your life- that’s what Papa gets to live! He has thousands of papers of notes and has even published his own journal articles and books! 

~Calligraphy is his special hidden talent, and he is DAMN good at it! It was something he picked up when he was younger and really nurtured during his Seminary times. A lot of the newer official Clergy documents are actually penned by Papa himself! He has a very steady hand the undying patience to do some very intricate work. If you look in his office he has tons of the old fashioned pens and ink wells. Chances are, if you get a document written in such fine cursive it was probably made by Papa! 

~ Papa has a green thumb and love of gardening. You typically won’t see him in the Ministry gardens, but he has his own little make shift green house. As a magic and witch craft practitioner, you need a lot of good ingredients. Lots of herbs and other banes as well. So Papa had to learn how to husband specialty plants with very specific needs. He has time tables and measuring cups for all his individually potted plants! 

Papa II: 

~Besides partying and hooking up, if you count those? This usually surprises a lot of people, but he enjoys cooking! He’s actually a very accomplished chef! Granted, Papa is SUPER picky about which recipes, ingredients, AND equipment he will use- but he loves getting to cook. Papa’s favorite meals are a lot of traditional Italian dishes but with modern twists. If he so desired, he’d make himself an eight course meal and it would be flawless to the last bite! 

~ Along with his cooking he likes to do anything with wine. Mainly quality vintages and sampling them to pair with meals. He has traveled to MANY vineyards in his free time and has a HUGE collection that’s only rivaled by Papa III! It’s actually something they have done together growing up! Papa has even helped make his own, but very few know about it. He’s waiting for the bottles to age before he even samples his own creation.

~The man bare knuckle boxes. He has since he was a boy, and is actually a formidable opponent! As he has aged he doesn’t partake as MUCH and rather view professional matches. But don’t let him being out of practice fool you. He was known for breaking noses and a killer knock out punch! 

Papa III:

~ Papa actually has a real love of reading and poetry when the mood strikes him. Not a lot of people peg him to be super into anything quiet and deep, but he has a fondness for both! Papa is actually very talented in poem writing and prose of all sorts (I mentioned before he actually helped write a LOT of songs.) His favorite novels are an odd lot, but he enjoys the classics like everyone else. The more engaging and interesting the better.

~I mentioned in the pet post how Papa horse back rides, but that’s not his only favorite sport. He’s a sucker for fencing! Back in his 20′s he actually met a fencing instructor that taught him a few moves and tricks of the trade, and he’s been hooked ever since! He’s not a power house like Papa II, so it was a good sport to help him learn to fight in a different way. Papa will also gladly admit he feels like a fantasy prince in a story book when he wields his blade! 

~Say what you want about his suit in ‘He Is’ but Papa is a self proclaimed fashionista! Papa has always been a lover of all types of art, but fashion has a special place in his heart. It’s why he was so adamant about his dead astaire suit! If you catch him out of his regalia or suit, he usually has something very stylish on. Picks everything out from his socks, watch, shirt, and even sun glasses. It’s very fun to make yourself a walking piece of art with such fine looks! 

Cardinal Copia: 

~You get a glimpse of two of his favorite hobbies in the ‘Rats’ video- ballet/dancing and horse back riding! Copia doesn’t really dance as much on stage, but he has been classically trained since he was a young man. Copia never did anything with it besides keeping in shape and doing it for fun. He jokes he could probably do the entirety of ‘Swan Lake’ if he so wished. But who has time for that when you’re only head lining YOUR OWN TOUR?

~Horseback riding is his other favorite, and one he has been trained in for YEARS. Copia doesn’t have as much time to practice or head to the stable these days. It used to be a more active hobby for him, thanks to the opportunities given to him by his rank and pay. Sometimes he yearns to go back to it. Never considered himself a competitive rider and just really enjoyed the thrill of it. 

 ~Since he’s so busy Copia sticks to his intellectual hobbies. Namely reading, puzzles, and languages. He’s particularly fond of studying dead or difficult languages, and prides in how many he knows! Right now his biggest study is in Ghoulish, though with slow progress. IT definitely helps he’s stuck on tour with SEVEN ghouls! Copia can now say a few words and phrases in Ghoulsih (though his ghouls laugh at his ‘human accent’.)

@gallagherintro​

Here’s some general info about Luna, then some necessarily long details later :) ~ death mention (tw)

FULL NAME: Luna Milanie Berralés

DATE OF BIRTH: September 7th, 1998

AGE: 21

NATIONALITY: Italian

ETHNICITY: European, Latina

ORIENTATION: Bisexual

HEIGHT: 5'9"

WEIGHT: 150 lbs

HAIR COLOR: Dark brown

EYE COLOR: Blue

LANGUAGES(S): Italian, Spanish, French, German, & English

IQ: 135

- BACKGROUND

FATHER: Miguel Berrales

MOTHER: Francesca Alina Tucci

SIBLING(S): Anthony Berrales

- DETAILS

Luna’s dad, Miguel from Spain served as a spy since he was 18. He took on several missions across Europe and was one of the top undercover spies in his class, considering his unique combat/martial art skills, weapons training, and encryption knowledge.

He met Francesca in Venice in the middle of a six month undercover mission. They fell hard in love, though she was definitely a distraction considering he had to remain undercover. After the mission was completed, he had no choice but to leave her and return to HQ. 

Fast-forward to about four years later, Miguel retires from being a spy super early to return to Venice. He gets decent benefits though..

He courts Fran and they marry within the next year; she becomes pregnant with twins AKA Luna and her fraternal twin brother Anthony. whoohoo!

Despite the fact that Luna and her brother being twins under the same household, their childhoods are fairly opposite. Luna’s interest in her father’s secretive past grows, and her brother’s interests grows into to things not-so spy-like, like art design and painting.

At about 8, Luna develops her love for tech and software development, and by 12 years old, it’s a hobby she like to do in her free time. :)

By 16 years old, Luna constantly spends her free time learning about and developing software, system updates, and encryption. She becomes so good at it that it even starts to take up more than her free time honestly. By now, it’s no longer a hobby. Luna continues to learn more about her dad’s past spy life, although her mom completely disapproves of any involvement or knowledge of the spy life. 

She doesn’t attend spy high school, because not only is she self-taught, but she has already learned so much from her dad as far as advanced encryption, hand-to-hand combat, and beginner knife skills. Luna feels like she’s a natural at learning this kind of stuff; especially encryption.

Luna only feels that it is right that she becomes a spy. Her father agrees and feels that she will excel, but her mother doesn’t want her daughter anywhere the dangers she fears is involved with being a spy. However with Luna being 19, she has no choice but to respect her wishes and supports her. Her brother Anthony also supports Luna’s endeavors. 

- OTHER FACTS

To simply describe her- hard boiled egg. 

MASSIVE BDE  & BI VIBES. 

She’s very reclusive at first, and is definitely not the type to open up to people. She comes off as a sarcastic asshole, which she totally is…but is actually really soft once you get to know her. 

She puts on this hard exterior, but deep down she’s actually very kind-hearted. She’s both realistic and logical, but still has a vulnerable side she would share with certain people.

SHE PREFERS TO BE CALLED A HACKER

Luna legit enjoys being alone, but she won’t push you away if you want to talk to her. 

Even though she’s extremely introverted, she’s also very expressive when she needs to be. 

Oddly enough, people have told her that she’s a very good listener. She’s easy to talk to and people seem to open up to her naturally. (She doesn’t know why though.)

She’s actually somewhat nearsighted, so she has two pairs of these really cute black, bold frame glasses. She doesn’t wear them all the time though.

Her favorite colors are black, burgundy, and navy blue.

Has a tiny tattoo on her left rib cage that says, “Live, Love, Learn” in Italian.

She actually went into a dark place for a while after her grandmother died of a heart attack a year ago. She was very close to her, and spent most of her childhood with her before she got serious about coding. That was THE loneliest she has ever felt, ever. She got into alcohol really bad to cope with losing her grandmother, and almost decided not to go to the Academy. Months later her family helped her come out of that dark place. 

SOFT, 80′s/90′s GRUNGE IS HER AESTHETIC 

Luna and Anthony are actually really close. They probably have the strongest sibling bond ever; I mean they are twins.~

She doesn’t have any friends (she coins Anthony as her best friend), but does have a dog back home who is her everything- he’s a Siberian husky named Benzi. :)

When she’s not with her family, her dog, or working on encryption, she enjoys riding her motorcycles, gaming, casually drinking, and vibing to music. 

Her theme song is “Sweater Weather” by The Neighborhood.

Honestly probably the most chill person you know- the “come over so we can drink, binge shows, talk about the world, and vibe to music” type of friend~

Holds her hometown in Palermo really close to her heart. 

She’s never actually been in a romantic relationship. Though she fantasizes about the idea of it and definitely craves some sort of affection, she’s lowkey scared of opening up and being deeply involved with someone..
