Author’s Note: I just recently got back into fandom spaces and reading fanfic again and looooove the uptick in fat Y/N characters. Ofc as a big girl myself I wanted to try my hand at writing one too.

Hopefully I’ll post this on AO3 soon. Whenever I get my invite so I can make an acc.

“Oh! Darlin’, did ya see those boys next door?” Mrs. Duprey gasps as you swipe the last of her Bubble Bath OPI polish across her fingers.

“Next door?” You cock an eyebrow. “No one’s been next door since Adam and Eve.”

“I saw them on the way in!” She grins, the corners of her eyes wrinkling pleasantly. “Strappin’ young men - y’should talk t’ ‘em.”

You roll your eyes. “I’m sure I will sooner or later, ma’am.”

“You’ve been single too long.” The nosey old bat contributes. As much as you love her she truly cannot leave well enough alone.

“And I’m perfectly content as such.” You give her your warmest smile.

The trailer home across from you has remained empty for as long as you can remember. It’s well kept - sometimes you see random gardeners mowing or going in an out with tool bags - but no one lives there permanently. You’d think in a beach town it would at least belong to some snowbirds. A timeshare, maybe. It’s none of those things, though. Just a well-maintained, perfectly empty husk.

There’s a metaphor in there somewhere, probably.

Sure enough, as you walk Mrs. Duprey out of your little single wide trailer, you spot a black SUV parked out front of the neighboring double wide. One that is definitely *not* a repair man or worker’s vehicle. She coos at you to make sure to talk to them before waddling off to her own car. She really shouldn’t be driving at her age. You wonder briefly - futilly- if she’d sell you her car in exchange for rides.

You suppose she’s right - even if it is for the wrong reasons. You’re not particularly interested in flirting with the new neighbors. After all, don’t fuck where you eat is a saying for a reason, but it wouldn’t exactly be neighborly to not introduce yourself. Especially with all the people coming and going from your home for your nail tech services. The old Yankee’s catty-cornered from you still believe that you're a drug dealer. At least they only come down for a couple months of the year.

Despite your staunch decision not to flirt, you still find yourself adjusting your clothes. Maybe the sports bra as a top is a bit much…

Fuck it. If they live here now they’ll see you in worse.

You fix your lipstick and throw on your platform sandals. The ones that clip-clop as you walk. Maybe it will help announce your presence.

The screen door wraps quietly as you knock. You take two steps back on the front, wooden porch so as not to come off too aggressively. As the seconds tick by you debate on knocking again. Maybe they’re out. Or busy. They did just move in today, most likely. Maybe you should-

The door creaks slightly as it opens. A very, painfully handsome man pushes the screen door until it clicks in place. “Afternoon, lassie.”

You blink stupidly as he crosses his strong arms and leans on the doorframe. His eyes are a striking shade of blue - somehow both sharp and soft. His dark hair is shaped into a slightly grown-out, un-styled mohawk. It fits him oddly enough.

“I, uh,” you take a deep breath. Christ you need to get laid if just *looking* at a hot guy has you this off kilter. “I live across the way. Just wanted t’ say welcome t’ tha neighborhood.”

That lopsided smile on his face grows into a grin. You don’t miss the way his eyes catch on your chest. “Aye? Nice tae meet ye. Names John MacTavish. M’friends call me Johnny.”

He gives your hand an extra little squeeze after shaking it. That accent might as well have you on the floor. You continue to blink dumbly, watching the at the scar on his chin stretches as he speaks.

Christ almighty, you’re pathetic.

“Nice to meet’ya.” You give him a warm smile, tilting your head to the side slightly. “Ya’ll here for vacation? We don’t get many Europeans ‘round here.”

He chuckles. It’s low and rumbling and would probably feel wonderful with your ear pressed to his chest. “Little bit o’ business, little bit o’ pleasure. This an’ tha’.”

“Hello, there.” Another man pops up from behind Johnny suddenly. Fucking hell, he’s gorgeous too. Older, for sure, with a uniquely cut beard that would probably look rather silly on anyone less handsome. At it stands, he manages to make it appear dignified.

“Ah, jus’ about tae call fer ye, Cap. This is our neighbor.” Johnny gestures toward you.

“John Price.” The man steps forward to shake your hand. It’s firm and professional and thank god your grandad made you practice a good handshake as a kid or you’d be painfully embarrassed.

“Are all UK men named John or is this just some sorta cult?” You blurt, unable to stop yourself from snickering at them.

Older John chuckles at you fondly, his facial hair giving him a pleasant U-shaped smile. “Be easier to remember that way, wouldn’t it? No, we’re with two others. Kyle and Simon. They’re out at the moment.”

“Kyle and Simon.” You repeat, nodding. Johnny, John, Kyle, Simon. “Are y’all in town long?”

“Indefinitely.” Is all Price gives you. It’s a tone that even someone as dense as you can recognize as ‘don’t ask more.’

You clap your hands together and smile a little wider, ready to make your exit. “Well, I’m not here t’be a bother, just wanted t’ welcome ya and, uh, let y’know that I have a lot of people over throughout the day - I’m a nail tech. They shouldn’t bother ya but y’know.”

“Ye can come bother us anytime, bonnie.” The Scot hits you with that grin again and your face suddenly feels far too hot.

A loud, whining screech sounds off from down the road. You check your watch. Holy shit, three-thirty already. You begin to back off the porch. “Ah, nice t’ meet ya again! See ya ’round!”

As you jog down the little dirt road of the trailer park another black car passes you. It’s smaller, a sedan. You make very brief eye contact with a blonde wearing a surgical mask and another man with the sharpest golden eyes you’ve ever seen - even through the tint of the window.

*Kyle and Simon,* you think.

You make a mental note to greet them at some point and continue down the street. The school bus slowly stops at the entrance and you take up your spot in the small crowd of parents. IT’s a shabby old bus - chipping paint and break pads that sounds like they’re about ready to snap. It’s all they’re willing to send out to your little section of the city, though.

Shelby meanders over in your direction, her usual Camel Crush lit up in one hand and the other teasing her already well-lifted hair. “Afternoon. Saw there was some new folks across from ya.”

“Hm?” You keep your eyes on the bus. “Ah, yeah. Just vacationers, I think.”

“Lookers, though.” She chuckles.

“They’re from the UK.” You offer.

“No shit!” Shelby stamps out her cigarette as the bus doors open. “Accent and all?”

“Yep.” You grin.

Shelby tsks and fiddles with her hair again. “I best go over an’ make myself known, then.”

“There’s an older fella with a neat beard. Think you’d like ‘em.” You snicker.

She hums. “I’ll bring a pie.”

The children practically burst out of the bus doors, as always. Ready to be home and shuck off their backpacks to their respective adult. Shelby’s son almost knocks her over, offering a little “Good afternoon, ma’am!” to you before heading off with his mother.

You nod to him, shoving a hand in your pocket as you wait for yours. She’s always the last. Always caught up in a book or something and doesn’t realize it’s time to get off of the bus. Sure enough, the driver has to call back to her before the little girl comes dashing out. She jumps off of the bus steps, despite being told time and time again not to, and kicks a rock on her way toward you.

You bow low for her. “Welcome home, Lady Sophie.”

She giggles, dark curls bouncing as she skips over. “Ni-ni!”

You take her bag from her. The thing really does dwarf the poor six year old. Her hand slips into yours easily. Soft and round and somehow always so much warmer than yours.

“My nail color chipped!” She announces, holding up her ring finger on the opposite hand.

“Oh! Now we can’t have that. I’ll fix it tonight.” You smile, waving at old Mr.Chester as the two of you pass.

“Well now!” He calls. “How blessed am I to see two such lovely ladies!”

You both giggle, continuing on your way. He’s a good landlord - spotted you more than a few times when Sophie was a baby and you couldn’t work consistently. Honestly, as you look around, the little community that he’s managed to build in this shitty corner of the world should be praised. Housing just enough snowbirds to cover his property costs while keeping rent low for the full time locals. Maybe you could convince Natalie at the paper to run a little story on it or something.

As you pull up to your own home, the blonde man is outside leaning on the front of their double wide. Seeing him standing at full height makes your blood run cold. The man is built like a damn barn - tall and wide. Beyond solid. *Brick shithouse*. It’s a bit weird that he’s covered in clothing head to toe but whatever. Weirder things have happened before. The mask still covers his face, you wonder if he had taken it off before you came up or just flipped it up to smoke.

“Sophie, head on in. I’ll catch up.” You push her toward the door. She scampers in, the screen door slamming behind her as you march up to the brick shithouse of a man in front of you.

“Which are ya? Kyle or Simon?” You smile, holding out your hand to shake.

Dark eyes rake over you, stopping briefly on your hand, before moving back to meet yours. He stomps out the half smoked cigarette. “Simon.”

You let your hand drop. Bit rude, this one. “Nice t meetcha.”

The other man pops his head out of the trailer. Kyle, you assume. “Oh. Hello.”

“Hi.” You smile as warmly as you can, giving your name. “I’m assumin’ yer Kyle.”

“Yeah.” He chuckles. “I’m guessing you’re the neighbor Price mentioned.”

You nod, about to speak again but Simon shoves past you, marching his way up the steps. “Let’s go.” He grunts, pushing the other man back into the trailer despite his protests.

You wrinkle your nose at him. What an asshole.

“Who’s tha’?” Sophie asks over the back of the old, worn couch as you let the trailer door slam behind you.

“New neighbors.” You say simply, glancing out the window. “Don’t go over there without me, yeah?”

“Okay!” She agrees, sitting back on the couch and bouncing, beginning her usual post school chant. “Bluey! Bluey! Bluey!”

You drop her backpack down beside the small coffee table. “After yer homework.”

“Nooo!” She pouts.

“Then no Bluey.”

Sophie pouts harder but crawls down in front of the coffee table and pulls out her little work sheets. At least the school doesn’t over run them too terribly with homework toward the end of the year. You glance at the calendar. Wednesday, May 22nd. Damn, she really only has about a week left. Though, you’d be lying if you said you weren’t looking forward to this summer break with her. She’s old enough now that you can take her places like the arcade without having to wait on her so much. You’ll actually be able to play some of the two-player games.

Plus, this year, you actually have a little more pocket change to make it fun.

You turn to look out the window once more at the new neighbors. Their curtains remain closed, cars neatly parked out front. The door opens slowly, the hot Scot and rude blonde wander to the Sedan. Simon’s shoulders shake at something Johnny said - you think he’s laughing but its hard to tell with that mask. Johnny’s head turns, blue eyes meeting yours through the shitty glass windows of your trailer. You squeak and duck to sit next to Sophie, praying that he didn’t catch you staring.

Could we please get general relationship headcanons for Erza, Juvia, and Mirajane. Preferably with a gender neutral s/o? Thank you!

would love to write for my favorite fairytail ladies !! :) and yes it will be a gender neutral reader

General Relationship Headcanons with Erza + Juvia + Mirajane v❦

Erza <3

Usually in a relationship theres always one person whose mostly in control

and yeah that'll be Erza for sure

She isn't exactly...controlling she just has to make sure at every second of every minute of every hour your safe

So this means she's gonna be walking behind you at most points (Gotta make sure theres no sneak attacks)

To the average person it may seem a little drastic but no this a normal occurrence

An average date is usually and sadly just hanging out in the guild hall splitting any kind of desert that's served that evening

Sadly because you both don't get a moment of peace with the normal shenanigans that happen (by shenanigans I mean Natsu and Grey)

It's hard to go out on normal dates because Erza, as much as she loves you, is the guilds rock and has to always make sure that everything is alright and no ones on fire

When you both do get the time, you love late afternoon picnics

Several desserts and treats

Erza loves how much you love picnics and when you first brought up the little date idea she was already planning your wedding

You and her chat and talk while splitting your favorite foods and treats.

When it gets darker outside she'll put her arm around you and rest her head on your shoulder

This usually ends up with you both falling asleep outside in the cold.

She'll invite you out for cafe dates and shopping trips

No matter what you say she's always gonna pay for you

Juvia <3

oh lord this women adores you

like literally adores you

shes your number one fan and supporter

constant rainy dates is a must

ever since you started dating you both have taken up knitting

so that means alot of knitted gifts to each other like little dolls and animals

sooooo much pda

like so much fricking pda

whether her arm is around your waist or her head is resting on top of yours she always has to be touching some part of you

shes always gonna come off as clingy but thats okay !!

when you first met she lowkey stalked you

and by stalk i mean she followed you around the guildhall trying to build up the courage to talk to you

before she even knew it you were complimenting her hat causing her to practically melt on the spot

she ended up walking you home that night after stopping at magnolia's local antique and tea shop

also dont expect to have many close friends'

as amazing and darling juvia is she is the most jealous woman on the planet

she will not take kindly to anyone getting in between you too

although if she knows them too, someone like wendy or natsu or just basically anyone she's already friends with, she'll probably lay off

dont get any funny ideas because juvia can always detect a love rival

Mira <3

congratulations your dating the sweetest woman on the entire planet

like genuinely the nicest

dates with mira are heaven

surprisingly you both don't go out much on dates

she usually invites you over to her house where she'll prepare dinner and have the both of you bake cookies

sometimes you both end up messy in egg yolk and baking powder

when lissanna and elfman are home she'll lovingly (yeah thats the word for it) kick them out so you both can spend some quality time together

mira loves cuddling

she loves when you can rest your head on her lap or her stomach and you both fall asleep holding each other

you just might be the reason mira's addicted to napping

a really comforting activity your both addicted to now is bubble baths with each other

its never really a sexual thing, more like two adults just floating around a hot tub

you both light a couple candles and bring a couple of books into the bath, and you chat for hours

you end up talking more then you end up cleaning yourself

you talk about the latest gossip like natsu and lucy getting together and all the other romance taking place in the guildhall

you've both non-verbally agreed that bubble baths are your thing and if you end up in the tub by yourself your doing something wrong

Congratulations your dating the sweetest woman ever

halfway through writing this i fell asleep oh my

anyway i love u huns kisses dont forget to request

Erza x Reader Headcanons

summary: via @atlas-stonewall ; I’m in the mood for some fluff, so can I get some headcanons for Erza comforting her s/o and vice versa? CW: nothing but tooth rotting fluff here A/N: thank you for your patience on this! now that requests are back open I wanted to send this one through first!

When Erza first found out that her partner was upset, the first instinct of hers was to murder whoever upset you. It wasn't them to just wallow in sadness, so someone must've hurt you, right? Wrong. You were just having a bad day. The worry behind Erza's eyes melted into one of sadness for her partner. So she grabbed the advice from Levy and Lucy and set out to cheer her partner up.

Before you got home from the guild, Erza had enlisted Mirajane to cook your favorite meal from scratch (plus a strawberry cake to share, of course.) She ran a bath, the hottest you could stand and added your favorite bubble mix to it for you to sink into and melt away your troubles. Those fluffy slippers you'd been eyeing at the market? Erza bought them. They'd be laid out for after your bath. She'd go as far as to rent your favorite show from the Lacrima disc store so you could curl up in your favorite blanket (that she had warmed up for you) and just relax.

Whenever Erza has a bad day, you know just the way to pick her back up and into better spirits. One of the bakers in Magnolia is on your speed dial, an assortment of pastries ready to pick up when in need. Sparring is one way to blow off steam, so challenging her to a nice round of training helps Erza work through whatever is bothering her if she doesn't want to talk about it. You make sure she eats dinner properly and run a nice warm bath. If you’re comfortable with it, you join her in the bathtub and hold her silently from behind, rubbing soothing circles in Erza's skin.

On Valentine's day the companions surprise Sole with:

Cait: A candlelit dinner she cooked herself. But they make cookies together.

Curie: She takes Sole to her personal garden she has been growing. Full of flowers, fruits and vegetables. Together they pick what is mature and plant new things. Curie gives Sole a bouquet of the flowers they picked.

Codsworth: He'll make Sole's favorite meal and dessert, then clean everything while Sole takes a nice relaxing bubble bath.

Dogmeat: He'll bring Sole a stick and let them pet him.

Danse: He gifts them a pack of Fancy lad snack cakes. Sole eats them while the two take a leisurely stroll through the commonwealth.

Deacon: Spa time. He'll give a full body massage, pedicure and manicure with wine on the side.

Hancock: They watch a show from Magnolia, then after a few drinks they do some karaoke.

MacCready: He takes Sole to get some noodles from Takahasi, then gifts them a miniature wooden Sole he carved himself.

Piper: She surprises Sole with art supplies. They spend the evening painting and creating different artworks while eating snack food.

Preston: He takes Sole to watch the sunset. Once the sun is down he makes a campfire, then takes Sole's hand and they dance by the fire.

Valentine: A picnic under the stars. Sole lays on the blanket while Nick reads romantic poetry.

Strong: Sole said they like pets, so Strong got them a Deathclaw egg.

X6-88: He gifts Sole a teddy bear he found, then suggests they take a day off from working.

OC Kiss Week Day 5: Darkness

WIP: Shadow Tamer Pairing: Gideon x Blake Timeline: not part of canon, but likely toward the end of the book if not after it completely idk CW: none Rating: T Words: 1,030

***

"I'm hoping you have a good reason to ask me here," Gideon said, his struggle for breath apparent in the clouds of vapor puffing out of his mouth. He reached the crest of the cemetery hill, hands stuffed into his coat pockets, nose and fingers already numb. "Not that I necessarily have a problem with being surrounded by the dead. And don't expect me to unpack that."

Blake, standing at the peak in his signature perfect posture that made him seem considerably long and regal, turned to Gideon with a warm if not mischievous smile. "Mr. Mendel. I'm happy you could join us."

Gideon stopped beside Blake and forced air into his own lungs, taking in the black and white striped mod suit Blake wore as he had the first time he ever saw him. "...Us?"

Blake's grin appeared to have frozen to his face. He cast a feline glance in the direction of the graves shadowed by night and the various elderly magnolia trees towering over the land. "We were just having a lively chat before you arrived. And the irony of that is very attractive."

"Okay." Gideon nodded and peered across at the darkness, a familiar tingle swelling at the base of his skull. "I should be used to this by now, shouldn't I?"

"We haven't known each other long," Blake said, slipping his fingers into the pockets of his own jacket.

Gideon peered sideways at him. "It's felt like our whole lives, hasn't it?"

His concern that the true nature of his unfinished statement wouldn't have been picked up was assuaged a moment later. Blake's enigmatic grin folded gently into a bittersweet gaze over the tops of the headstones.

Blake carefully removed his black tourmaline from his pocket. He stood in silence, smoothing his thumb over a facet and narrowing his focus onto the individual graves.

Thin wisps of fog seeped out of the ground, lifting no higher than an inch into the air before tumbling back down and swiftly accumulating. The headstones soon bathed in it, bright, bubbling fog caressing moss-covered granite and cold, packed dirt.

Though Gideon had witnessed this before, he didn't think he would ever get used to it.

"You're free to join us," Blake said to someone other than Gideon. "...I know none of you have much strength right now."

The fog began to form vague shapes hovering over the graves, twirling in the frigid air and bouncing what little light was available.

"Come, now," Blake whispered, removing his other hand from his second pocket. With it he pulled out a piece of quartz eerily clear enough to be mistaken for glass, and he swept his thumb over its facets as if it were a worry stone. "...Don't make me look like a fool in front of this man."

Gideon let out an unexpected laugh, not loudly enough to disrupt Blake's concentration. He then watched in awe as the vague shapes phased in and out of discernable forms, ambiguous yet human though they were.

They shifted and undulated, gliding in Blake's direction. Without warning, they all sank into the ground, spreading through the grass at a breakneck speed. One spirit remained, wide at the feet as if wearing an old gown from an undeterminable era, still inching closer.

"They've been here a very long time," Blake said, this time to Gideon. "Their resting places have been upset by hurricanes and floods, over and over for decades. Their tethers are frayed and irreparably strained." A foreign scowl of frustration pinched at his face. "She's got a few minutes with us at most."

"I'm...sorry," Gideon murmured to the spirit as her cold finally reached him. It bit into his skin, much sharper than the night air. "I can't imagine it's been easy for you."

She elongated near the top of her form—an arm held out to Gideon in wordless question.

Blake kept a firm eye on her, and while his face portrayed suspicion and caution, his tone conveyed sympathy. "She wants you to hold her hand as she falls away."

Gideon knew falling away wasn't an unpleasant concept as it merely meant disappearing until summoned again, but it didn't stop a pang of sadness from curling in his chest. He couldn't hold onto her hand in any real sense, but he mimed it, imagining that he grasped it with love and assurance.

As she faded into the fog, Gideon turned to look at Blake. Blake had his eyes on Gideon, just as suspicious and cautious as he'd been with the spirit.

"Why d'you think she wanted me to do that?" Gideon asked.

Blake returned his crystals to his pockets. "I'd say she could sense your energy. The warmth and the compassion you exude that even I could sense very quickly into knowing you. Or she sensed your amazing paternal instincts and hoped to be comforted as well as you'd comfort Warner."

Gideon's cheeks burned. "You know...I've wanted to kiss you since I first got up here on this hill, and you're not making me want to any less."

Here, the enigmatic grin returned. Blake tilted his head, his eyes dropping to Gideon's mouth for the briefest of seconds. "At least there's no chance of transferring my makeup this time around."

Gideon leaned forward without another thought and pressed their lips together. Blake cupped his jaw in his hands, and Gideon wasn't prepared for the albeit small amount of hunger in the way he deepened the kiss, his minor stake on Gideon making him dizzy with a sudden and quick spike of desire.

But Blake took his time. He remained unbothered as Gideon snaked his hands around his waist, was in no rush to step back when he broke their kiss with much hesitance.

"Mm," Blake grunted, and for a thrilling second Gideon thought the atypical sound was in relation to their kiss.

Before he could reply, however, Blake reached a thumb up to stroke across Gideon's cheekbone, holding it in front of Gideon's eyes with a cheeky smirk.

White face paint covered the pad of Blake's thumb. Fog curled around Gideon's feet and he could not ever explain where the makeup came from.

Hey I know you asked for tma characters to assign perfumes/colognes to but can I ask for a recommendation for myself? I dont know much about them other than they smell pretty.

I dont like overly powerful scents so hopefully smth more subtle and floral? I dont really like anything like smoky or strongly scented like cinnamon and such

Thanks in advance if you choose to help 🙏

ooh yes I love giving scent recommendations!!

I personally am not the biggest floral person, but I definitely think I can find a few to recommend

for something clean/fresh: Bubble Bath by Maison Margiela (a soapy, clean floral with notes of bergamot, lavender, rose, coconut, and musk)

for something light and sweet: Velvet- by Commodity (a gentle rose with notes of almond, amber, and musk) (note: this is velvet personal! commodity has 3 versions of each scent, and they're all slightly different)

for something fruitier: Hue by Hayley Kiyoko (a fun, summery fruity-floral with notes of watermelon, blood orange, lychee, freesia, magnolia, peony, rose, musk, and cacao)

for something realistic: almost any floral scent by Alkemia (Alkemia's florals are OUTSTANDING--if you want something true to life, check out Alkemia! though I will warn you that a little goes a long way with their florals, they're pretty potent)

for something cheap and fun: Sparkling Hibiscus by Mix:Bar (a bright, sparkly floral that's nice and sweet without being overwhelming. has notes of hibiscus, champagne, bergamot, and musk) (honestly if you want something cheap to try out, Mix:Bar has a pretty good range of basic scents! they've got some other florals you might like)

for something beachy: Falling into the Sea by Imaginary Authors (a citrus-y floral with notes of lemon, grapefruit, lychee, sand, and bergamot)

I think that's my first round of suggestions for you. if you want to send me another ask telling me more about what scents you like (certain flowers or notes, other scented products you've enjoyed, etc.) I can try to give more personalized recommendations!

also, with the exception of "every floral from Alkemia," I've personally smelled each of these perfumes! if you want to give them a try, I highly recommend getting your hands on some samples! if you're not sure where/how, just message me and I should be able to help :)

Hihi, Rae! For the ice cream ask, I'm curious about: french vanilla, chocolate, cotton candy, pistachio, cookie dough, neapolitan, salted caramel, and chocolate fudge. Thanks!

french vanilla— what’s something you want to tell your followers?

Honestly, if there's something for me to say to everyone following me here on this lil' personal blog it's this: go tell everyone you love that you love them. Go do it right now, for exactly no reason. The people you care about deserve to know they have that love, and offered to them with no trigger or caveat. It wasn't earned or 'remembered', just said in truth.

chocolate— what song is stuck in your head right now?

Reset Rewind by Unlike Pluto. I listened to that one like, as part of a small cycle of songs to power me through that Michael Myers horror fic skeleton from the other day and so it's just... here, hanging out.

cotton candy— do you prefer savory or sweet food more?

Sweets. I love savory stuff, don't get me wrong, but I don't have 'a sweet tooth', I have at least half a jaw of sweet teeth.

pistachio— which do you prefer: breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

Probably dinner. I grew up really bad with my eating habits and it's never really gotten better, and dinner is the only meal I still regularly eat. As for what dinner is, it's literally anything. If I eat it at the end of the day it's dinner now. Pancakes and bacon? Dinner. Turkey sandwich? Dinner. Chili colorado? Dinner. So long as it's the last meal of the day it counts.

cookie dough— do you prefer jewel tones or earth tones?

Jewel tones and I blame my corvid-dragon instincts. I want actual jewels, so jewel tones strike so many chords in me.

neapolitan— do you have a favorite scent? scents that you like in perfume, in candles, and in general?

Look. I cannot overstate how many scents I like. I have 36 body sprays, 5 scented lotions and 7 hand creams. The list of scents I dislike is so much shorter. Light florals are lovely, sweet scents, anything properly fruity is nice.

Off the top of my head of my massive collection from Bath and Body Works here's the first that come to mind: Dark Kiss, Paris Amour, Sapphire Moon, Midnight Pomegranate, Velvet Sugar, Black Cherry Merlot, Dahlia, Sunkissed, Bubble Gum Pop, Tokyo Lotus & Apple Blossom, Golden Magnolia, Plumeria, and Into The Night.

salted caramel— what color and shade would you describe your eyes?

Probably a grey-green. A forest fog.

chocolate fudge— would you prefer a stargazing date or a picnic date?

Both honestly have their own charm, but if I had to chose just one I'm going with stargazing. I've even written a fic around stargazing with a loved one, and the idea seems so sweet. Making up new constellations with each other, ones to weave stories around over the course of your relationship, doesn't that sound perfect?

De Fence

We did it! It’s finished! The weather was perfect and Pullen Construction got it done.  Okay, it was hardly a construction job, but it was quite a project.  But it’s finished and it’s pretty.  Pretty is important to me.  I can’t wait to do a little landscaping to dress it up.  

The mister did a wonderful job and I was a capable assistant.  We managed to mark spots for sinking posts and find every rock hard tree root at the same time.  Six inches left or right, no roots, but the spot where the post needed to go - petrified wood.  Still we persevered and got it done. 

Here’s droopy drawers at the beginning.

and here he is when we finished!

Isn’t it just the cutest little fence you’ve ever seen?

The yard slopes down toward the neighbor’s property line and thanks to his math-capable brain we kept it all even and not one bit wonky.  I’m amazed when stuff works. Those lovely shade trees back there actually belong to the town of Denton, though they’re happy for us to trim and pick up after them.  Inside the fence we’ll have our two Jane Magnolias and we’re considering a Dogwood way down at the right end of the fence.  We’ll see.  By the time I’m drawing Social Security it’s going to be gorgeous back there. I’m tempted to put some Lady Banks roses back there, but I really don’t want anything climbing on that fence that will look scraggly in the winter.  I may just plug in some pretty bunches of Black-eyed Susans.  That’s a start. That’s also the state flower of Maryland, so surely it would thrive.  I can’t help but think a pretty hydrangea would do well in that dappled light.  Hmmm.  I’ll probably peck away at it this summer, finding plants on the orphan table at Lowe’s.  It’ll happen. In other news, my dang Kentucky Derby pick has scratched!  Glad I hadn’t placed my bet already. Honestly, I think it was the universe nudging me to look deeper.  You guys, I always look for a gray horse.  If that doesn’t pan out, I look for a jockey in pink silks.  This year there’s a gray horse whose jockey is wearing pink.  Did the stars align for me? Maybe. I’ve placed my bet on Tapit Trice to win.  Cross your fingers. I’m due.  Mama needs to buy plants. I’m off to soak my weary bones and head for bed.  IT’s about to get really busy around here.  I need to make a grocery run because the Edgewater gang is coming for the weekend.  Originally they’d planned to come out so that Tyler could help Mickey get the fence up.  But I opened my big mouth and asked my husband, “Couldn’t the two of us do it?”  I really regretted that after he hit my toe with the post pounder thing.  So now they can come and just relax.  I never know what to cook when they’re here.  You’d think someone who enjoys cooking would just whip stuff out, but Jamie is a much better cook than I am and they eat amazing dinners all the time.  I look at my tried and true stuff and it seems pretty boring.  I’ll probably do a sheet pan supper one night - kielbasa sausage, taters, green beans, and a side of corn muffins.  For Derby Day I‘ll just make pulled pork in the slow cooker.  Add some good buns, maybe broccoli salad (should I do baked beans?) and a dessert, and we’re good.  ��Do you have a favorite recipe that feeds a crowd and is semi-healthy?  If so, send it to me! 

Okie dokie, I’m out.  If you need me I’ll be in a bubble bath. I hope things went your way today, if not, I hope it wasn’t too bad.  Have a cookie, watch a sweet show, paint your nails, read a good book.  Little things can turn a day around. Sending out loads of love.  Stay safe, stay well. XOXO - Nancy

What are yoh sexual fantasies?

Thanks for asking.

Well, for starters I would enjoy sharing a bubble bath made for two with a heavy but curvy BBW within my age group, and also using a femininely fragrant light pink body wash, such as Dial's Silk & Magnolia or Suave's previously available Aloe & Rose Water, along with a light pink loofah close to the same color.

While in the tub, I would not only offer to gently scrub her soft, big, and fluffy but also delicate curves, but also offer to have amazing anal and/or vaginal sex with her as we both enjoy soaking up the amazing bath suds.

Yes, sex in warm bubble baths shared with a big and curvy lady are my #1 sexual fantasy today. Plus, cuddling with her as she's either naked or wearing frilly light pink lingerie like a nightgown trimmed in Victorian-style French lace 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😘😘😘💞💞💞❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕🔥🔥🔥🌸🌸🌸.

[one-emotional-guy]

Gotta LOVE all that silky-soft jiggle of your huge belly, @housecow 🩷🩷🩷🩷💞💞💞💞💕💕💕💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸💋💋💋💋🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘.

I can imagine a romantic bubble bath shared with you would be truly amazing 🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼🧼! That's one of the best ways to get intimate with the opposite sex, at least from my perspective, especially when the suds and body wash smell elegant - such as Dial's light pink Silk & Magnolia.

sooo hard to grab just a handful. there’s so much of me nowadays 🫣
