Pick a Card: Winter Blessings On Their Way to You

Hey y'all, welcome back for another pick a card reading. This pac's gonna be about any general blessings you'll receive over the next few months. For those who celebrate holidays, this may tie in to how you will be faring this season, but for any one reading, this will be a positive overview of what you may be gifted with over winter.

I've decided to go with images from pixabay as having the selection at the top seems to be the more mobile-friendly option. Choose any one of the four images above or pile numbers below:

Pile 1 - Frost ❄ Pile 2 - Gift 🎁 Pile 3 - Tree 🎄 Pile 4 - Orange 🍊

Pile 1 - Frost ❄

2 of Cups, King of Swords; Moon in Pisces - Empathy, A New Day, Land:Animal:Star, Mine (Earth, Jupiter)

Hey there, pile 1. Your gift will soon come in the form of experiencing deepened social connections this season. You will receive guidance and understanding regarding a close relationship you already have in your life. There may be a form of reconciliation or forgiveness given to you for any miscommunication or mistake in the past. I'm hearing that it's mainly the lack of communication for this pile where things can be resolved over the winter. Someone may have taken their time in reaching back to you for one reason or another but will be more available in the next three months.

This person could be an air sign dominant (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), a person connected to education in some way, or a decisive, intellectual person in general. They may be a great conversationalist who is knowledgeable on topics that are relevant to you; talking to them may feel stimulating. One thing that I'm picking up is that, though this person may put on an air of maturity and wisdom, it's important to note that they are human and have to learn important lessons about relationships like everyone else. They're going through a humbling period of realizing that they do not connect to others as much as they would like to, which may trigger them to contact you to open back up. If they do, it's because they have some level of trust in you even if things have been sour in the past. I'm not detecting anything bitter or deceitful about this communication, but they may be in a remorseful state anyway as they may be undergoing a shadow work process of looking at themselves from a higher perspective and realigning with their true visions. It's up to you if their remorse is genuine or misplaced; if it's genuine and you care for them, then they could use a little reassurance that they can still be a good friend. If it's misplaced, that is to say you don't think they really did anything wrong, make sure to let them know that you forgive them and you care for them. If this is a toxic situation, you may decide to not let this person back into your life despite how they feel, which may prove for some to be the best choice, but in any case there will be a sense of resolution, fairness, and peace of mind. It will be different for everybody.

There is a possibility that, if this resonates with you personally more than it does with anyone else in your life, then part of your gift is getting a chance at a do-over with a close friend, colleague, or partner of yours, and you may be on the verge of adding more extroversion in your life by doing more enjoyable social activities. Another take with this pile is that, if you're involved in school, there could be a special message you receive from the school. If you're trying to apply for something or resolve an issue, someone who is of expertise in that area will reach out over the next few months. If you've been doubtful about a relationship, this season will help you gain more clarity about the next steps to pave. This holiday is looking to be cozy and centered on sharing it with those you care about, including pets.

P.S. From Santa: if you feel tempted to wake up around midnight to peek under the tree, don't! Try to avoid catching glimpses or begging to know what you're getting. Someone may have left a surprise for you to check in the morning, and they wanna see your face light up with what you got.

Pile 2 - Gift 🎁

9 of Cups, Queen of Cups; Jupiter in Cancer - Speculation, Candle Magic, Land:Mountain:Moon, Grace (Water, Neptune)

Hello, pile 2, I see your biggest gift is gonna be like a spa day away from all the hustle and bustle. I sense it's long overdue here! This winter season is gonna be all about catching up on some much needed R&R and sleep. This is definitely the pile for those who relate to being the "parent friend" of their social group, or of generally being the busy supportive person in others' lives, who are getting the impulse to retreat inside for hibernation. With all the usual chaos of the holiday season, I don't blame you for wanting some tranquility. You may identify with being empathic or highly sensitive to noisy or crowded output. In spite of a tendency towards introversion, I see this is a group that really likes to stay productive and creative, but it looks like taking time away will restore a lot of creative flow back in to what you do. There's an abundance of water in your cards, suggesting a need for cleansing and adaptability. You may find it easier to take time off in spurts rather than a long period away, but it's up to what you feel is more necessary. This isn't just regular spa day in the sense of literal cleansing, though you may feel more inclined to take long warm baths and clean out drawers of old unwanted clothes over the next few months. This is also about emotional healing, taking time to process old feelings and reflect over the past year. There is a need for comfort in between, I'm feeling plush robes and tasting marshmallow rich hot cocoa by the fire here. Tap into your more sensual and receptive side, allow yourself to do a hobby in bed for a day if it's easier than doing it at the desk.

This is also a season for receiving some nice things you've been really wishing for, but be sure to express your desires! The gifts you get may be really satisfying for you, but you will need to own up to what you want and avoid being too bashful. If there's something you're eyeing on this holiday season, make a note to write it down or add it to a wishlist. If you get involved with an exchange program, you can be honest with what you like while also being reasonable. Also, I want to remind you that there's nothing wrong with getting yourself a few gifts if you're really more comfortable with getting them for yourself. It's better than waiting and hoping for someone to get you a cool thing you're too shy to ask for only to not get it. Set an intention and inform others out loud, instead of getting caught in mixed signals, because you deserve to get many good things this winter! If you have any time off you've been meaning to take, I would find some time in the winter to schedule a "nothing" day with no busy plans or to-do lists, so you can prioritize self care.

I'm getting that many of you will want to stay home for vacation, or that you'll want to be at home more often, in your safe zone. Even though many of you will focus more on relaxing, some of you may get the urge to decorate in a way that speaks to you. There may be some creative inspiration in the form of making something that fits the season like weaving frosty wreaths or crocheting cozy sweaters. An aesthetic could be drawing your eye, which is confirmation that your creative juices are flowing again. Gently express yourself in art when it calls you, without feeling pressured to finish or mass-produce anything. Create in a carefree way that inspires and heals you.

P.S. From Santa: A single lantern in the dark is as profound as a thousand dazzling lights in the streets. Try not to overburden yourself with the perfect set up of decorations this holiday season. Even when preparing the house, it's the thought that counts.

Pile 3 - Tree 🎄

0 Fool, XIX Sun; Venus in Leo - Affair, Go Your Own Way, Sky:Rainbow:Star, Tear (Air, Gemini)

Wow, pile 3, right off the bat I have to say I'm almost jaw-dropped at how bright and festive your pile is! This is definitely the group that loves the holidays the most, if that doesn't resonate with you then you may find another group more relatable, or it could be that you're more in the mood for holiday occasions than usual. The joy in these cards is palpable and near infectious, it's giving even some of my grinchy mannerisms a second glance. So yes, I would say this is your biggest gift over the winter season. You may be smiling for many reasons, maybe even crying with joy with the Tear card here, and I see the biggest reason is in where you'll be and who you'll be with.

You will have opportunities to venture out and explore new things to do. You could be invited to a festive lights display, or a fireworks show around the New Year. There could be a concert over the winter, or a new date could talk you into trying ice skating at the local rink. Some of you may be tempted to actually go to NYC for New Years, and if so, good luck! Please stay warm and hydrated, the ball dropping and singing carols through your town are a major endurance test in the cold if you decide to go to any of those. But if the idea of doing something like that simply lights you up like a festive tree, you may be more tempted to go for it this season. Many things in your cards talk about direction and forging your own path, so part of your gift may involve feeling a bit more independence and expansion. When we travel and visit new places, our self learns to grow and expand to meet it over time. It's nerve wracking because we're not used to it, but eventually we adjust and learn to adapt. I see that happening for you more these next few months. I would advise this pile to try going out and trying a few different and interesting things, for those who don't want to jump in the cold, there are online communities waiting for you to join. Some social media groups, for example, have a Secret Santa type of thing set up that you could sign up for, or a Discord chat could be hosting movie nights that you've considered joining. This is your confirmation to give it a go!

Tears of joy may also have to do with gifts you're given this year. There may have been something left on your wishlist for a while and this season you may actually receive it. You could also be given something that just "fits the ticket", like it may not have even been on your wishlist or even what you could think to wish for, but somehow you get it anyway. The gift may come at a convenient time. It may be something related to your life purpose even? Or it may help you with your life path and future goals. You may enjoy gift exchanges with a dear loved one, as seeing their reaction of pure joy may turn out to be a present for you too. Happy holidays, pile 3!

P.S. From Santa: The sleigh flies like the sun and moon in the sky, spreading cheer in all directions. Happiness can be found where you are, and it can also be outside your comfort zone. Look at what surrounds you for the true presents in store.

Pile 4 - Orange 🍊

VIII Strength, 3 of Pentacles, Saturn in Gemini - Concentration, Celebrate Your Wins, Water:Spring:Moon, Sunflower (Earth, Venus)

Surprise, pile 4, you have actually chosen the same pile that I chose when doing this reading. The significance of mentioning this is that I just passed a difficult test that took forever to figure out. And I originally laid out these cards, called it my 'Orange' pile, and chose this group the night before the test, knowing this was predicting some kind of win but waiting until after to confirm it here. And boy did they confirm! So your major blessing on your way is that you will succeed in a goal that you've been working very hard on for a good period of time. What was once a challenge can become a success here. For many of you this will have been in something that has required a lot of work and dedication. Passing this won't necessarily be effortless, but it will be easier than the last time. You will still need to put in some effort to make it work, but this pile has more than certainly put their dues in by now, even if things aren't perfect. After spending a good amount of time learning and tracing all the steps, you've developed the fortitude and strength to push through to the finish line. And getting to that line will feel like the joy of a kid waking up on Christmas morning to a mountain of gifts. If you struggle with the sense of feeling accomplished, this is the time to reward yourself.

I see for most in this group, this accomplish is related to something in the material or external realm. So it could be passing an important test, getting a portfolio approved in review, or a burst of health after a long period of stress. There's an energy of blooming here, with the Sunflower card atop the daisies in the Strength card and the crocus. These flowers, together, signify not only growth, but a sense of rebirth and regeneration. The crocus appears in the spring and fall, while the daisy blooms from spring to summer. So this is spiritual and physical healing. Even sunflowers can last until mid autumn. So this is a long-lasting rejuvenation, or an accomplishment with long term benefits. It will be a big confidence boost that may spur a positive feedback loop in future goals. Take pride in yourself!

You've probably succeeded far past where you think yourself to be. There's no need here to be hard on yourself, even if the victory doesn't come in the shape you expect it would. Treat your past year's self with kindness, as not all progress is visible to the naked eye. Achievements of the soul aren't always notified like in Xbox, or given a certificate or medal to hang on the wall. Maybe it could even be hard to write down exactly what went right this year, but have trust that you've grown so much in these past twelve months and that the next season will be like a domino effect showing you how far you've come! The 3 of Pentacles is Capricorn energy, so you may start to see this after the holidays have passed, but know either way that your first step is just the first step in a long road to victory! I'm sending congratulations to y'all, pile 4, and patting your inner lion on the back because I know you have it in you to succeed in your trials no matter how long it takes. You have transformed in time for the new year!

P.S From Santa: Be ready to catch falling stars as you wish upon them, the seed least unexpected can bloom even in the coldest time of year. Staying on the Nice list will come with its many rewards.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT | SAGAU Childe

🍊 content: SAGAU! Childe x Reader

✦ content w: none! fluff or plain or smthn along that line. Though, I think you should read Birthdays | SAGAU! Childe first before this for context igs.

It’s been a few months since Childe was acting weird in the game.

At first, you thought it was just your game lagging—with Childe just abruptly stopping in the middle of a run, or when you’re using another character and for some reason Childe switches in.

But it happened a little too often after a while.

Everytime you’d try to use another character, he would either switch with them out of the blue or the entire game would freeze.

Maybe your phone was being faulty, or the storage was at its maximum capacity (archons, you hoped not).

Whatever your reasons were, it had all been thrown out of the window on the day before Christmas.

It started out like any other day for you—no work or classes, just another day to grind in the game again (and another day to appreciate Childe ofc). You figured you could still play the game despite all the problems you’ve encountered so far, since those weren’t gonna stop you anyway.

While fighting the Pyro Regisvine with Childe, your screen suddenly freezes and glitches for a moment before the fight continues.

Wait…

Continues???

You watch, completely dumbfounded as Childe moves on his own. You try to tap on any of the icons but it doesn’t work—it’s like he was alive and conscious as he fought the large boss plant.

What surprises you even more so was the fact that he transformed… into Foul Legacy…? You rubbed your eyes, hoping that maybe you were just tired or maybe even dreaming.

After the fight was done, Childe settled in place, still in his Foul Legacy form as the Regisvine falls to the ground. He turns around, his attention seemingly focused on you before the screen turned black.

You take in the first few moments of silence, thinking what was that just now—like, no seriously, what just happened?

Reaching out to your device, you began to make an attempt to turn in back on again, but nothing happens. You sighed, scratching the back of your head as you wondered what you were going to do now.

You figured you could go celebrate Christmas—that’s no fun, you’d hate to celebrate Christmas by yourself, you’d rather spend the day grinding for primos or something.

Well, not like you had a choice anymore. After all, your device was broken—playing Genshin Impact was no longer an option at the moment. Begrudgingly, you began to decorate your room a bit.

You started with a small, white Christmas tree you found somewhere in the storage room, adding a few decorations and lights to its leaves—making sure that it wasn’t too much or too bare.

After that you just added a few more things here and there to the room, lights and all that to make the atmosphere a bit more festive and warmer than it usually is.

Once you finished, you take a step back, sitting on a nearby chair as you pondered what to do next.

Out of pure randomness you just decided to bake some cookies instead—it would keep you busy for the remaining hours of the day, and maybe Santa would even grant you a wish if you leave some out for him.

No, you never really believed in Santa, but anyways-

You baked some classic chocolate chipped cookies, and neatly arranged them on a plate before placing it on the desk inside your room.

You partnered the cookies with a glass of milk, and a shot glass of vodka because why not? it was yours to drink in the morning anyway—at least, that’s what you thought.

You do a few more other things to tire yourself out before heading to bed, kissing your hydro slime and Childe plushies goodnight—hoping that by tomorrow your device is back to normal, and that what happened earlier was just a random glitch.

Eventually, you fell asleep, at a much earlier time than you usually do.

Meanwhile, when the screen turned black, Childe had noticed since your face had disappeared, and he couldn’t hear you anymore either.

He’s been trying to communicate with you or even move freely on his own—to show you that he’s conscious. But doing so was messing up the boundaries that keep you two separated (aka the device).

He turns back to his normal self, the after effects of Foul Legacy weighed down on his physical body a bit when he does so.

He steadies himself, as he wishes to himself again that he wants to see you.

Not just through the screen—he wants to meet you, physically. He thinks that by doing so he may be able to sort his conflicting emotions out, which have been growing by the day for some reason.

It amuses him in a way. How much you like him despite his nature, how he came to be who he is now, and despite knowing what he does.

You just like him as he is, and it was very unlike him to be swayed by it.

It was unlike of him to reread the letters that you sent to him, to look forward to his birthday every year—hell, to look forward everyday whenever you come online.

He keeps telling himself, that he could never feel the same way as you do. Being worlds apart only meant that it was futile to even entertain the idea.

But he somehow dislikes it when you use other characters, whether it was to buff his damage or to heal him, he just disliked it.

So, while picking up the rewards from defeating the Pyro Regisvine, he unconsciously finds himself wishing to meet you, even if it was just for a moment.

He sighs for a moment, closing his eyes and folding his arms, contemplating about something. When he opens his eyes once more, he immediately makes a double take.

He’s suddenly in a different room. He feels different too, he doesn’t know how or why, but he just does.

He looks down on himself for a moment, checking if there were any changes. A small, red and white hat falls from his head and onto the floor when he does, catching his attention.

He crouches down for a moment to pick it up. Once it was in his hands he inspects it—triangular in shape with a white ball at the top. He decides to hold onto it for now before looking around the room.

The place looks comfy, and warm and soft. It was definitely much different from his own room—with a lot of stringed lights, and a snowy…

A fake, snowy tree with a few decorations.

The design wasn’t overwhelmingly festive, it was just right for whatever ocassion the owner of the room prepared for.

He remembers that you had mention something about this in one of the letters you’ve written to him on his birthday. Merry Christmas was it? It was something about gifts and presents, though he’s not entirely sure.

He takes a few steps around the room, wondering how he got here—maybe the work of an Abyss Mage? He shakes the idea away, sitting down by the edge of what he thought was an empty bed.

As he places his hand behind him, he pauses as he felt the curve of a leg. His head turns, finally noticing you who was almost drowned by the covers, and surrounded by soft materials that resembled him and some hydro slimes.

Oh.

Oh.

He was frozen in place as it registered to him, his thoughts were suddenly racing, with an odd rhythm and pulse coming from his chest.

He was excited.

It wasn’t the same excitement that came from battling enemies, or fighting with strong people.

No, this was entirely different. It was like he was thrilled to see you, to meet you, face to face without any barriers or boundaries for the first time.

“Comrade?” He speaks, his voice is quiet—almost afraid to wake you when you looked so peaceful in your sleep.

But he also wanted to wake you up, and ask for your name.

He squints his eyes and gets off from the bed. He feels weird staying in such close proximity to you.

He walks over to your nearby desk, deciding to check out some of your stuff. He wanted to investigate—unable to help his habits as a Fatui harbinger.

Seeing a plate of cookies, a glass of milk, and a shot of alcohol on the desk, he was left rather confused and intrigued. What on earth were you up to?

Against his better judgement, he picks up one cookie and examines it. It looks good.

It doesn’t seem to be poisoned. So, there’s no harm in trying them, right?

Before he knew it, he’s eaten about half of the cookies, a fourth of the glass of milk, and took the shot of alcohol—which was much to his liking.

He comes back to you, sitting by the edge of the bed once more as his eyes watch how you snuggle with the toy that resembled him.

“You really love me that much, huh comrade?” He speaks to himself before scoffing quietly in amusement.

He tries to sort out his feelings as he just stares at you.

It’ll pass.

He was quiet for a long while, sitting still beside your sleeping figure. After a few moments he finally lets out a sigh, telling himself that he’ll think it through another time.

It’s not love.

He tells himself again, firmly believing it as he takes out the red and white hat from earlier.

He reaches out to the toy version of himself, carefully placing the hat on top of it as to not wake you up.

Seconds after doing so, he immediately finds himself falling to the familiar ground of Teyvat.

He groans as he stands up, clearly annoyed of what just happened. He scratches the back of his head, clearly confused how he got sent back to Teyvat in such a manner.

“Huh… I didn’t get the chance to say Merry Christmas.”

✦ it’s been a while since I’ve written anything, so this is a bit rough, also a bit rushed? idk, it’s not that great *sad noises*

✦ late Christmas / holiday fic for everyone, sincerely from ur favorite trash writer

✦ I love him sm, can I cry-

This will be inspired by something I saw last week, but it's bound to be interesting. What happened was I went to do laundry with my dad in the early morning while it was 36° outside. I was drinking a sugar-free original Monster Energy when we left, and uh... I'll explain the setting. We have this shitty little corner laundromat attached to the grocery store near my house. When you go out the back door, you're exposed to the parking lot for both the store and that place. Then further down front there's the street, and more apartments.

Tell you what, I saw a grown ass (middle aged) looking dude with a backpack and a HUGE beard riding a bike at the speed of light down the road, just as I was sipping my drink. Basket in my other arm. I was thinking, wow- a week or two into the month and Santa is already here. What the fuck. And that wasn't even the worst part, because he was only wearing underwear. He was gone before I could tell my dad what I'd seen.

Anyhow, I wanted you to draw some stupid shit about this for me. I want you to draw a two panel scene... First one should be on top with Ted in my exact position there, I think. Bottom one, if you get what I mean- uh you should make Charles Manson do the bike thing. I would be laughing for a while.

LMAAOOO 😭😭

[bedeliainwonderland]

🍊🍏🍇!

Thank you so much! 😘❤️

🍊Who’s a character you don’t write for that often, but keep meaning to write for more? (They’re so interesting! But maybe you have trouble pinning them down, or keep getting distracted by another blorbo…)

My two weirdos take up my entire brain space but I have always wanted to do a crossover with Santa Clarita Diet. I hope I will get to do it eventually. As for Hannibal character, Margot and Abigail as Bedelia’s patients would be interesting too.

🍏 Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation?

Guilty of domestic bliss. I overuse tons of phrases haha. Starting the sentences with “and” and “yet” are a big problem for me 😆.

🍇 Is there a particular scene/episode/book/etc that you want to just write a million fics about, over and over? Which one?

Bedannibal in Florence because we got to see so little of their time there, basically Antipasto times a million again and again.

[atinylittlepain]

i remember in the first one shot steve showing up to Andy's house in that bikini kill shirt and obviously he had no idea who they were (or kinda did but barely) and okay first of I loved how she was kinda sad that he didnt show up in one of his cutesy little polos, but also! later on they go to record stores together and Steve just asks her to list the essentials so he can get them and actually listen because she loves them and so he has to at least give them a shot (yes robin made fun of him) 🍊

I love this :')

so,

Andy is what I would call an omnivorous listener. She's in the indie scene, the riot grrl scene, but she also has a soft spot for the likes of Springsteen, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams. She has a beautiful, shiny, brand new cassette deck in her apartment (xmas gift from the parents yeehaw) and she checks out five cassettes from the library every week, something a little different every time. That cassette deck is playing all the time, while she's getting ready in the morning, making dinner, sitting on the couch and bitching with Steve about everything and nothing (they love to bitch, truly, kindred spirits). And he'll ask her what it is, what song, what artist, making mental notes for himself.

Now Steve on the other hand. He had never been particularly into or against music. He liked fast and loud stuff in high school before games and parties (and shhh, don't tell anyone, but he had a particular love for Wham!), Springsteen too, mostly because he had an uncle that would take him camping in the summers and refused to play anything other than Greetings From Ashbury Park on the long drives out of and back to Hawkins.

But now, he's a little more invested. He likes Pavement and Yo La Tengo, that one song by The La's that just makes him think of Andy, because, c'mon, right? Sometimes he likes the Cocteau Twins... sometimes. Try as he might, Bikini Kill just isn't for him, sorry, Robin. What he does notice, however, is that Andy keeps ending up with late fees from the library, tapes returned a few days late because she wanted to listen just one more time. And because Steve has been paying attention, what albums stayed checked out the longest, and what songs from what albums seemed to be her favorite, he comes up with a plan. And he gets Eddie's help with it.

Eddie, darling Eddie, and his near obnoxious and interminable music knowledge, is more than happy to show Steve how to use his also brand new, but more state of the art cassette deck to record mixtapes, with only one snarky look at you, man, all in the name of love, huh?

And so, every now and again, Steve will go to the library and check out a few of her recent favorites, and somehow sneak an unassuming mixtape into her apartment. Like Santa, but simpy :')

Andy keeps every single one, and much later down the line, when their oldest is starting to get into music in earnest, she'll take her down into the basement and pull out a cardboard box that has stacks upon stacks of mixtapes in them. Gets her a walkman (even though ugh, mom, everyone else has ipods) and their oldest, and then their middle, and then their youngest, will get an absolute aces education in nineties indie and alternative… and Bruce Springsteen because, duh.

[starry-slithers]

Hello,

It's me again. I really like the tangerine anecdote. It's so sweet and playful. 🍊✨

What kind of children were Avania and Cariad before they went to Hogwarts?

What’s the biggest bit of mischief they got up to? 🤭 And more importantly, did they get caught? 👀😅

Have a nice day. 🌟 Your Secret Santa 🎅

anon when I catch you you’re getting the fattest mouth kiss ever. Again, pink is Avi, green is Cari

This child was basically the defenition of ‘tell me you’re autistic without telling me you’re autistic’. Bitch would not shut the fuck up about marine life and sharks and everything a Victorian would know about the sea. And she had no friends (lol loser) and her best friend was her big brother Alex (oooooo Avi lore) It was basically a Ginny and Bill Weasley dynamic between the two. She would follow him everywhere. She was also the biggest tomboy “Where’s Avania?” “Oh dw she’s up a tree or something idk but she’s all good”. Bitch is covered in dirt 25/8. And instead of sitting with the widdle kids at family gatherings, she sat with the grownups and for some reason lil miss liked talking abt politics with them???Idk why????She just wanted to be a grownup and know about the world around her. She was very argumentative too and ridiculously mature for such a young age (she says, while brandishing a stick and pretending to stab herself with it like a knight.) But alas, the joy ended when she was 7…🤭

Cariad, as a little girl, was just so cute ��🥺🥺. Just a little girl with hair over her side in a badly done plait, always grinning. She didn’t really get why other kids didn’t like her despite trying so, so hard (people pleaser from a young age, I respect the hustle). Truth was, the other kids found her weird. All she had was Saoirse and Liam. She was also basically the nerd emoji because in lessons she was always having her hand up, always being an ‘apple polisher’ as my friend would put it. She liked things near and orderly and often appeared bossy to the other kids. She got work experience young- helping her mum often in the bakery. She was a massive ballet girl and got the lead role in most school plays, your average gifted kid. Obviously she had a burnout but this is abt kid Cari not depressed Cari.

Avi’s biggest mischief was cutting off her waist length brown hair until it was chin length (messily cut) and then dyed it pink for the first time when she was 12. Obviously she got caught. But by then her parents didn’t love her, blaming her for Alex’s death (more lore tehehe).

Cariad was…not the most mischievous. Just a very good girl tbh. But her biggest mischief was, in the school plays, stepping on a girls dress purposely because the girl bullied her. To this day she hasn’t been caught.

Tangerine and ice cream, two of my favourite things 🍊🍦 cursing and kissing and reader being a bit of a loveable pest; 18+ only

“All I’m saying,” you insist, unable to keep the note of petulance from your voice as you watch Tangerine flick his cigarette onto the cobblestone street, “Is that maybe if you didn’t look so angry…”

Hurriedly you toe the butt of his smoke into the gutter and Tangerine frowns as he takes the proffered ice cream cone from your hand. His tongue darts out to lick at the rapidly melting tiramisu gelato that’s a breath away from sticky fingers in the intense afternoon heat of Florence.

“He was being a twat,” Tangerine huffs, recalling how, moments earlier, he’d very nearly had to punch the shopkeeper for giving you a look when you’d pulled out a hundred Euros to break for five Euros worth of ice cream.

“Locals here aren’t deferential,” you tell him, “It’s quite refreshing.” The two of you settle onto a bench in front of Santa Maria Novella, the bells of the old church ringing noon. “I know you can’t help it though, you tosser. Meanest resting bitch face I’ve ever seen.”

You swipe your tongue across your own cone, waiting for Tangerine to reply. He scowls at you and shows you a choice finger, gold ring glinting in the sunlight.

“Like right now,” you continue, teasing him, “No one has ever looked so murderous eating an ice cream.”

“It’s fuckin’ gelato, love,” Tangerine retorts, “And I’m a murderer in case you bloody well forgot. This is what a murderer looks like eating a fuckin’ gelato and if that shopkeep didn’t like my face, well he’s a right cocksucker.”

Some words don’t get lost in translation, you muse, as an Italian woman shoots Tangerine a withering glare and mutters something that sounds a lot like disgraziato as she walks by. You have to place a palm on Tangerine’s thigh to keep him from starting a scene. After all, you’re on your honeymoon and the you’d made him promise two things: lots of sex and no dead bodies.

“It’s a lovely face, dear heart,” you giggle, then bite your bottom lip demurely before feigning a little gasp. “Oh, you’ve got something just there, Tan.” Vaguely, you point at his face and watch as he slides the back of one large hand over his moustache, his big blue eyes finding yours to ask if he’d gotten the something you’d pointed out.

“Missed it,” you smirk, shaking your head. Tangerine tries again, and when you laugh he rolls his eyes and swats at you playfully, his hand coming down to your thigh and squeezing.

“You’re takin’ the piss, aren’t you?”

“Me?” You fix him with your widest eyes, the most charmingly naive look you can muster, blinking like a goddamn baby deer. “Never! It’s just right…” Pausing, you swipe a manicured finger through your ice cream and quickly run it down the length of Tangerine’s cheek, leaving a streak of sugary mess in your wake. “There.”

He opens his mouth to cuss, but you’re faster, shutting his words up with a well-timed kiss.

Don't Stand So Close Masterlist

Waking to my alarm was unusual. Normally Harry and I would be woken up by a little bouncy bean called James shouting and rambling words in his own made-up language.

I sit up and stretch my arms overhead, yawning. Harry’s not in the bed so my assumption is that he’s got James. Harry and I were up late the night before. James didn’t want to fall asleep. He’s been so excited with all the decorations and presents and lights. But when he finally did, Harry wanted to take advantage of us both being awake at the same time with James asleep. Many nights, one of us will conk out before the other. Whoever is dealing with James being put to bed will usually be the last to sleep.

So we both enjoyed an orgasm before passing out immediately upon Harry rolling off of me. I didn’t even have the energy to clean myself up.

Having a baby is exhausting but delightful.

James’ first Christmas he was too tiny to understand what was going on. But this one he is aware and knows something is exciting. Harry and I have done everything we could to make it magical.

I put my slippers onto my feet and walk into the living area to see Harry and James on the floor near the Christmas tree. Harry lifts his head and looks at me when he becomes aware of me, “Hey baby. Merry Christmas. Come look.”

I walk up behind James and kneel down to see what’s going on. James' chubby hands are holding a wrapped present. The wrapping paper is partly torn and wetted from James gumming and chewing at it. I sit down on my bottom and kiss the top of James' head and then pull at the front collar of Harry’s sweater to bring his mouth to mine. I slip him the quickest bit of tongue and he sputters a laugh when I let go of his collar. I laugh.

“What’s going on James? What have you got sweet boy?” I rub James' back gently and he makes his usual goo-laugh noise and squints his eyes in a joyful smile.

“He picked out that present to open first. I told him he had to wait for mom and he’s been so good.”

Harry and I watch James open up the gift. I honestly don’t even remember which gift this is as he’s working to get the paper off. But James doesn’t quite understand the concept of removing the paper to reveal the gift so Harry and I tear at little bits to help him. Eventually, the gift is on display and James screams in excitement, Harry groans and turns his head, and takes a deep breath. Lately, James has begun screaming at the top of his lungs anytime anything is a little exciting. He thinks it's funny but Harry and I have been trying to get him to not scream. It’s only gotten a bit more frequent, though. Especially during the Christmas holiday with the pretty Christmas tree and the twinkle lights.

I cover his mouth and kiss the top of his head. This only makes James laugh into my palm, his eyes closed in satisfaction at the reaction he drew from us, “James… please baby. That’s too loud,” I speak quietly. Harry squeezes my thigh and shakes his head in defeat.

The gift James opened is a set of play salt and pepper shakers. James has a little kitchen play set that my dad got him for his first birthday and it’s his favorite thing ever. He gets to pretend to be grandpa cooking at the restaurant. Though, I doubt he quite understands it all.

Harry removes the packaging from the toy and hands it to James. He grabs onto my arm to pull himself up, his nails pinching my skin as he does so, and he runs off into his bedroom to play with his kitchen set. I rub my arm and look down at it, “I should trim his nails,” I speak and look up at Harry.

Harry leans down to take my arm in his hand and kisses the spot, “There you go, Mommy.”

I laugh and take Harry’s hand into mine, bringing it up to my lips to kiss, “So sweet, Daddy. Thank you.”

Harry and I just sit for a moment while it’s quiet smiling at one another. It’s astonishing to me how James looks exactly like his father. I’ve seen many pictures of Harry from when he was James’ age and they’re identical. Light curly hair, big green eyes, dimples, a booming voice when excited, and James even has big feet and big hands already for a little guy. His head, hands, and feet are massive, even the doctor agrees.

It’s Christmas morning and today is going to be a busy one. My parents are coming over and they plan to stay the whole evening so we’ve set up the spare room for them. The spare room is actually James’ room now, but we kept the Queen sized bed in there for guests. James' crib bumps up to the foot of the bed.

Tomorrow my parents are taking James to Santa Land. Santa Land is like a little Christmas shop with Christmas trees and toys and decorations everywhere. There will be a man dressed as Santa and some elves and maybe some hot chocolate. We wanted them to wait to take him until after Christmas because hopefully there would be fewer people there. James is wild and active and cheeky. He’s a handful and Santa Land will only have him screaming, crying, running around like a banshee and begging for everything he sees, and then more screaming to top it off when he doesn’t get what he wants. So, for my parent’s sake, I’m hoping it’s not terribly busy.

Harry gets up and holds a finger out, “Forgot!”

I watch him disappear into the kitchen and come back a minute later with two steaming mugs. He sits back down next to me and hands me the hot coffee, “Mmmm… Thank you, my love. Merry Christmas,” I lean into him and kiss his jaw.

“Hope you enjoy it. It’s all you’re getting from me this year,” Harry chuckles at himself and sips his coffee.

I roll my eyes and take a sip. I honestly wouldn’t care if he hadn’t gotten me a single thing. I feel lucky and happy to have Harry in my life. James and Harry are my favorite things in the whole world and I just don’t feel like I need much else.

But, I know he’s gotten me several gifts because they’re under the tree wrapped up with a tag that tells me.

We tag team with James, showering, eating, and picking up all of James’ toys again (that we’d already put away but somehow James had managed to pull out every single toy he owns and scattered them over every inch of the house), washing dishes, and then James is down. He ran full speed, screeches and laughter, toys being tossed at the couch, and suddenly, he laid down and closed his eyes, and began to snooze.

Harry takes James to his crib and closes the door. James will sleep for a solid hour and a half. He’s a deep sleeper so as busy and wild as he is, I have been thankful for his consistent sleep and nap schedule.

I give Harry a hug and kiss his sweater-covered chest and look up at him, “My parents won’t be here for another two hours,” I smile slyly.

Harry puts his hands into my hair and dips down to kiss my forehead, “Is that so? What shall we do with all this free time, my love?”

Normally on a weekday when James goes down for a nap, Harry has already begun work and I’m writing an essay or doing a class assignment. I don’t know what possessed me to go for my Masters while having a one-year-old, but I did, and it’s not easy. But today, Harry and I have no work and no school, and a quiet house.

Harry takes my face into his palms and kisses my lips. Wrapping my arms around his neck I stand to my tippy toes and push myself up to him before he’s dragging me to the couch and climbing over me.

Harry lowers himself between my legs and pulls my leggings down to reveal that I’m not wearing panties. He hums and looks up at me and dives right in. It’s been a couple of weeks since Harry has eaten me out. He always tries for it, he did the night before even, but we’re usually so tired I encourage him to just fuck me so we can go to sleep. Sleep has surpassed sex as vital lately. As much as we both like sex, we’ve grown even more fond of sleep.

But that’s not to say we don’t have sex regularly. We get it on more than most parents, I think. I’ve talked to other moms and hearing about how they shun sex or aren’t in the mood or go without for weeks at a time is totally understandable. But with Harry and I, we’ve found ways to have sex as often as possible. Which isn’t as often as before James, but I’m very well taken care of, as Harry is.

The longest we’ve gone without sex was right after James was born. We waited for five weeks. The doctor said four to six. At four weeks I was ready to jump on his stick but Harry insisted we take one more week just to be safe. It was the quickest round of sex we’d ever had. Harry nutted so fast and I came quickly once he ate me out and then we passed out until James woke us up.

But now, we had some time to kill and Harry’s mouth on my pussy was feeling delicious.

It felt a bit like old times with Harry keeping his eyes on me as he licked up and down. He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers together as he lapped away, his free hand holding my thigh down.

Harry still knows exactly what I need and the moment he slurped at my clit was when I couldn’t stop my moans, “Yes! Oh god…”

Harry smiled into my cunt and squeezed my hand as he brought me to orgasm.

I was also back on birth control for the time being. We talked about maybe having another baby but we needed some more time with just us and James before bringing in another little one. Harry’s age, though, is a bit of a concern as well. Technically he can produce sperm and get me pregnant until I’m too old to conceive but sperm production is much less at his age in general. It’s crazy to me how men can stay fertile (even if slightly less fertile) until old age. I had no idea until we had this discussion with our doctor. So, we decided we’d wait a bit. No rush and if we never have another baby that’s okay too.

I sat up and pushed Harry’s face away from my sensitive pussy, “Let me suck you off big guy,” I smiled at him and Harry rolled onto his back, putting his hands behind his head, stuffing a couch pillow under his neck so he could watch.

Harry’s cock is something I’ve gotten used to over the years. Big and long. Taking him down my throat is not as difficult as it was when we first started dating. Now I’m a pro. I still choke and gag, but I’m used to it. And I like it. But I only like it because it’s Harry and he’s worth it.

Harry’s whimpers and moans are my favorite sound. I love making him a mess and the way he looks at me when I’ve got my mouth wrapped around him just makes my heart sing. I don’t think I’ll ever hate giving him a blowjob.

“Baby… please… wanna be inside of you now,” Harry pushes himself up and I bring my mouth off of him.

Harry’s big cock feels so nice inside of me. It’s not long before he’s pounding away into me, my leg dangling off the couch, the wood frame creaking. I’m on my back and Harry’s railing me when he moves my legs to wrap around his waist.

“I’m gonna come, baby… I’m trying to hold it back but I’m so close,” Harry moans as he begins to quiver. I know he’s about to come because not only are his thighs shaking, but his cock is also twitching inside of me. I reach down to press my fingers over my clit and nod at Harry, “Come inside of me, Daddy.”

Harry closes his eyes and groans, his hips smacking into me and I gasp at how hard he’s pressing into me.

Harry starts to come and I feel it. His mouth drops open and he’s silent except for his panting. I speed up my fingers and feel the lightest little zip to my organs and I come with him. It’s not super intense but the orgasm is a sweet little release to top off the first one I had.

He collapses over me and kisses my face, “I love you so much. Such a good wife and a good mommy. Amazing…” Harry speaks his words against my cheeks and my neck where he’s kissing me all over. I laugh and tighten my legs around him and kiss him back.

I turn my head to check the clock and it’s only been twenty minutes since James went down for a nap. Harry lifts his head to look at me and then with a big grin he smiles down at me, “You know what that means?”

I nod as Harry rolls off of me and we both get up to go to our bed, pulling the blankets up over our naked bodies and fall asleep together for a yummy Christmas morning nap.

You get to produce a Christmas special stage this year. Which idols and what Christmas song would it be? The only rule is no All I Want For Christmas Is You or Santa Tell Me.

Thanks for the ask!

It would be this version of 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' and Chaewon covering it.

I could only imagine how saccharine and melodic her vocals are. It's just, a sight to see and of course, a blessing to the ears.

It was a surprise not to see SH make a Cucumber Gin Tonic recipe at 1 PICO restaurant in Santa Monica. It is fast and easy.

But he showed a Gin & Tonic with orange peel from California 🍊 Perhaps the reason for advertising the Scottish Gin in America, not in Scotland 🤷

This is the classic way to enjoy all the Scottish Gin samples he brought in his luggage from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to America and of course, enjoy his Cucumber 🥒 displayed during his trip along the United States.

Gin Tonic Cucumber

1.5 fl oz Gin

2/3 cups tonic water (Schweppes Indian Tonic Zero or Light Fever-Tree)

1/2 cup slices cucumber

1 tbsp lime juice (optional)

1 oz ice cubes

Add a few ice cubes in a gin goblet or highball glass. Add a few slices of fresh cucumber to your glass then add one shot of gin (40 ml or 4 cl). Add 150 ml of zero sugar tonic water (Schweppes Indian Tonic Zero or Light Fever-Tree Tonic) Garnish with one cucumber slice. If you like your gin a little more on the sour side, squeeze a few drops of lime juice into your gin tonic. Your drink is now ready. Serve immediately.

hmm, my blogs ARE kind of alter-egos of each other in a way. i’ve had this main for a while and made ahgastarlight a sideblog to ✨ preserve the aesthetic ✨ here, so they’re pretty different. i kind of wish i’d gone full “kpop on main” because i think it gets confusing sometimes, but it’s far too late for that. 😂 also 100°F is apparently like 37° Celsius? temperature is so weird and lowkey confuses me tbh. and don’t worry it takes more than that to scare me off! 😉💚

Mhmmm. I had another blog too and oh god the amount of confusion I've faced- lolololol. I meant for it to be kept secret from my moots but some of them caught it up bcs I mixed the reply ahhahahahaa. Oohhh 100°F is 37°! That's like, the normal for here then. Look at the temperature today

Oh really? Do you read smuts hannie? Or you're not a fan of it?

[jjpmoans]

ahhh jaebeom is toooo powerful in these! especially with the hair pushed back at MAMA 😍 he must be stopped! (but i secretly hope no one stops him.) philadelphia is one of the oldest cities in the USA. it has its little issues and i hate the weather, but it’s overall a nice place to be. there’s always something going on + a lot of different cultures, which i love. (and yes you get a gift! it’s a bit random, but i hope you’ll see the charm.) -ahgase secret santa 🍊

Ooohh and let me tell you! That pic from MAMA? That's what inspired Snowy Day where there are pups7. Random right? That pic should be powerful and an idea for a smut fic but lol ahhahahahahha I can't help myself from thinking he's a pup instead!

How bad the cold whether there? Here it's hot. I mean, during the noon. And it's rainy season here. We don't have 4 seasons. It's only sunny season and rainy season!

[jjpmoans]

i swear jaebeom is bias wrecker #1 for everybody! he’s just on another level of artistic, handsome, and - of course - sexiness. but everyone in got7 does have their charms, you’re right! and “runaway” is that energy giving bop!!! one more hour before you receive a reveal and a gift from me! 👀 sending it into the future! 😉 (and i WISH i were from brazil! i’m from philadelphia, just south of NY! and it’s freeeeezing here!) - ahgase secret santa, 1103pm 👀🍊

Yeah I will insert proofs of that here hahahahababbaa.

Oohh yes another hour into the new day! I'll get a gift!? OOOOFFF YEAAAY! Thankyou little orangey. And ohhh Philadelphia (i know nothing about it please, educate me) and have something hot instead! Hot choco perhaps?

[jjpmoans]

(1/3... i’m sorry for long messages!) i try to be a sweet weasley, though sometimes i do have a temper (stereotypical red head). 😂 i have never gone full mark “throwing a laptop at bambam level” thankfully, but i do wonder how mark and i would get along. youngjae is so FINE in that live you are right! it became such a meme because of coco acting wild, but youngjae looks so good 😂 i love when he does lives because they’re more natural and comfortable; it makes me... feel things 😍💚🍊

Youngjae is seriously underrated. I get that he's not that handsome compare to other members(but no dissing looks) but he has his charms! I was once not fomd of Youngjae but if you're into GOT7 for quite some time, you can see their charms! And yes you and Mark gonna be a great friend little orangey! Hahahahahahah watch me making that a dream of yours!

Also, runaway. YES ME TOO! Whenever I feel down, I just play that song again and again like, to give me some sort of energy! I love how jaebeom in the background still strong even just an adlib hahahahaha. In general, they say that song sounds like Charlie Puth's song but all I know is I'm in for Jinyoung hahahahahah.

If you have been following my blog for a while, some can actually see my attention has diverted to Jaebeom for a few times. And Jaebeom even get a lot of fics from me even when Jinyoung is my bias hahahahahah. We can't deny, Jaebeom wrecks everyone! And oohhh you said you're 10pm EST? Ahh so you'll have two more hours to midnight yes?

Nooo it's not a crazy time for me sweetheart. I am from Malaysia and my time is 11.16am at the moment. I am 13 hours ahead of you! I'm from the future yeah ahhahahahaha. I'll wait for you!

[jjpmoans]

(1/2) omg i used to say that i was a lost weasley child, so it fits! 😊 mark is definitely cute but scary. i always think he and i would NOT get along irl because we’d spend all our time yelling and then crying and yelling again. 😂 i also do agree that youngjae looks best bare-faced! when he goes live or posts his casual selfies, my heart melts! 🥰 -ahgase secret santa 🍊

Awwww. Lost weasley child hahahahahha. I bet you're as sweet as the weasleys too! No really? You and Mark hahahaha. I think you will make a great friend. Really! Mark will have soft spots for you because you know, you're his best friend! Hmm i smell a fanfic here hahahaha. Would you like that, little orangey? Also, Youngjae. Yes. I found out that he's so manly after that live where coco humped the soft toy (i can't believe I missed the moment) and I came to a conclusion that, indeed, he's so hot!

Also the fic hahahhahahahaha. You know, Runaway holds a certain special meaning to me. Let me tell you a story about that. On the day of GOT7 comeback, I was driving so I can't watch the MV first. So I can only listen to the spotify and the first thing I say was I don't like YCMN (jqvzkqjska I'm a liar now i listen to it religiously). But onto the Runaway, damn I listened to that one part of Jaebeom and I melted and the feeling lingered until later that night and oh god I CAN'T STOP BEING SOFT! Which is ironic since this era is supposed to be killing me with all the sexiness. And on top of that, the person I'm feeling soft with is Im Jaebeom, the walking sex symbol.

And Gym 7 waa written bcs hm Jinyoung, gym is an ooohhhhh combination hahahahahhaha. I'd pay to go to gym if he's my trainer 😏 alsooo thankyou for ready lucky stars! Do you love it? Tell me about it! And no the pictures are pretty bcs of camera trick. The real me is the centre picture hahahahahahaha.

It's almost time to reveal ourselves? Oh god I totally forgot! Do you want to reveal yourself today? On 25th? Or you have something in mind already?
