Happy National Raspberries N’ Cream Day!

 

At one time, #raspberries were a midsummer crop. However, new technology, cultivars, and transportation make it possible to enjoy these sweet berries all year long. Because of these new technologies, raspberry growers now have an extended selling season.

Raspberries are a type of fruit known as an aggregate fruit. Aggregate fruits have flowers with multiple ovaries and each ovary produces druplets around a core formed by the flower. Each druplet could actually be considered a separate fruit.

My Queen

Pairing: Nikolai Lantsov x reader

Summary: King Nikolai is hosting a ball with his beloved queen...

“His Most Royal Majesty, King Nikolai Lanstov and Her Most Royal Majesty, Queen Y/N Lantsov, wearers of the Double-Eagle Crown, may their lives and reigns be long!”  Nikolai offered you his arm and led you into the ballroom, smiling and waving at the noblemen and women.  You did the same, the Lantsov emerald winking in the light.  Your husband led you to the chairs reserved for the royal couple behind the round dining table, pulling your seat out for you.  The courtiers filed into their respectful seats, Nikolai’s head advisor to his right, you to his left, Genya to your left.

“You look simply beautiful tonight, Y/N,” he said with a smile.  “Ethereal, my love.”  “Thank you, Nikolai,” you replied, taking his offered hand, squeezing it gently.  Tonight, you wore a flowing gown, ice blue silk with Lantsov gold accents, swirling spirals of golden thread through the fabric, hair tumbling down your neck, a diamond crown in your hair.  Nikolai wore his dress uniform, his golden sash across his chest, medals polished to a mirror gleam.  He wore no crown, but he commanded the respect of a king nonetheless.  

He raised the hand not holding yours, and the table went quiet.  “My friends,” Nikolai began, addressing his court.  “My wife and I thank you for your presence tonight.  You and I both know how much work there is to be done for our great nation, but tonight, we celebrate!”  Nikolai lifted his wine glass, and you did the same, raising them to your guests.  “To Ravka!”  “To Ravka!” the crowd responded, raising their glasses.  Your husband turned to you, toasting your glass before taking a sip.

Servants appeared from every corner of the room, uncovering dishes and serving the courtiers.  Seared quail, roasted potatoes in a cream sauce, honey glazed ham, wine, kvas, ale, champagne, a spread of Ravkan delicacies.  The meal was delicious, course after course of rich, mouth-watering food.  After dessert, a luscious chocolate mousse topped with raspberries, servants cleared the table, and you stood, the court taking their cues from you and your husband.  Nikolai offered you his arm, leading you over to the raised dais which held your ornate gold thrones, lifting your skirts as you stepped up onto it.  A pair of durasts moved the table from the room, clearing the floor for the court to mill about.

You seated yourself on your throne, Nikolai following suit, keeping his hand firmly in yours.  The partygoers mingled, conversing and laughing with each other, all while their monarchs looked on.  Nikolai loved throwing balls, even when there was no real reason to have one.  He loved watching his people enjoy themselves; there was a war going on, yes, but that didn’t mean a good time couldn’t be had.  “I truly cannot fathom the depths of your beauty, my love,” Nikolai said as he looked at you, diamonds in your crown twinkling.  “Darling, you say that every day.”  “And I mean it every day.”

He stood when the orchestra began warming up, extending a hand to you.  “A dance, my queen?”  He was smirking, every single feature of his face undeniably perfect.  “Of course, my king.”  You rose gracefully to your feet, silk rippling like water around your legs, letting your husband lead you onto the dance floor.  The court parted around you, making ample room for the king and queen.  Nikolai bowed, a pointless gesture, but one that made your heart flutter.  You curtsied to him, taking his hand when you rose.

His hand on the small of your back, yours on his shoulder, you along with most of the courtiers began to dance.  Nikolai spun and twirled you around the room, turning in circles as the dance required, your gown swishing smoothly as you danced.  You giggled when Nikolai dipped you slightly deeper than expected, gripping his biceps for stability.  He righted you, smirking as he continued the dance.

Once it ended, Nikolai stepped back, taking your right hand and pressing a gentle, lingering kiss to the back of it.  He was bent at the waist, bowing to you as he kissed your hand, his eyes shut as he did.  Your husband stood upright, stepping closer to you until you were only inches apart.  He held your hand against his chest, now looking down slightly at you.  “My beautiful queen,” Nikolai whispered, kissing your forehead.  “Every day I think I cannot possibly love you more, and every day I prove myself wrong.

“I love you so much, Y/N, and I will love you for the rest of my life, more and more each day.”  Nikolai was a romantic, that was common knowledge.  All of Ravka swooned for the king, the second son who took the throne so tragically, wanting more than anything to garner a grain of his attention.  But it was all reserved for you, the women he loved above all else.  And they knew that, admiring the love their king had for their queen.

“I love you too, Nikolai.  More than you could ever know.”  Your husband smiled, blushing faintly.  “Oh my Y/N; my beautiful, gorgeous, perfect queen.  You are too good to me.”  You smiled, and Nikolai kissed your forehead, the hand that wasn’t holding yours against his chest came to rest between your shoulders, trailing up and down your back.  “Now, I believe we have a party to host, don’t we, my queen?”  You smiled, leaning into Nikolai’s embrace for a moment longer before pulling back, linking your arm with his.  “We do, my king.”

Yena (IZ*ONE) as Your Girlfriend

Request: “can i request iz*one's yena as your girlfriend please 👉🏻👈🏻 thank you 🥺”

A/N: took a lil break from studying to write for a bit, ( i hope this all makes sense, i’m really freaking sleepy rn yall T-T )

- C

Choi Yena - is she an idol or a stand up comedian? i guess we’ll truly never know

her bubbly personality and quick-witted jokes were actually the main reason you wanted to get so close to her in the first place, absolutely in awe of how she could bring a smile anyone’s face in mere seconds

which is why, after a few days of pep talks from your friends, you built up the courage to ask miss Yena on a date, to which she absolutely accepted

Yena was over the moon when you asked her, and the shocked look on her face told you just that as she hadn’t expected you to reciprocate her feelings - but her composure dropped for a mere nanosecond before she was back to her cheeky self, her arm already wrapping around your shoulder as she couldn’t wait to go on a date with you :]

one date quickly turned into much more, and you both felt the time flying by as you fell further and further for one another, leading to Yena asking you to make it official just a couple weeks later!

Everyone around you immediately gets soulmate vibes as soon as they see you two together, your chemistry is truly unmatchable

as wild and unhinged as Yena is, she always finds a sense of calm around you that she doesn’t with anyone else, and it’s always so cute to see her her usual cool girl facade bubble away when she’s with you 

she has such a soft spot for you that no one else could ever get, and you love it so much when her chivalrous side comes out - plus the way she looks at you with so much makes you feel like the only person on the entire planet

Lowkey very cheesy, as in hand in your back pocket, don’t touch my baby type cheesy

(which you are an absolute sucker for, by the way)

every sentence ends with baby, no matter the context or who you’re with, she just loves calling you that SOO so much hehe

your guys’ relationship is truly like something out of like a 90′s teen movie, and no matter what Yena does, she always looks so damn cool that you can’t help but get an overwhelming amount of butterflies in your tummy

imagine Yena dropping you a text at the early hours of the morning telling you to come outside - you look out and see her on her motorbike, clad in her leather jacket and black jeans, lollipop lazily hanging from her lips as she waits for you to come outside GOD

and then she’ll take you to a little beach on the edge of town, the two of you snuggled up on the sand, only the sound of the waves to be heard as you shiver a little, even though you’re wrapped up in Yena’s leather jacket, and buried into her side :’)

Cuddles usually start with you laying in bed and Yena throwing herself on top of you, making you go “OOF” and making her giggle like an idiot

but once she gets comfortable, you best believe you guys aren’t moving for HOURS

and if you aren’t wearing an item of her clothing at ALL times its a national emergency and Yena must rectify that immediately

shows her love in many different peculiar ways, from squishing her cheeks against yours, poking her finger in your nostril, randomly nipping your earlobe or blowing raspberries against your skin while she lays her head on your stomach

funky little yena doing funky little dances in public whenever something makes her happy

which you have soon become a part of, leading to the two of you popping and locking in your local convenience store when the ice cream is on sale

However, while she presents herself as a strong, carefree person, none of us are free from worries, even Yena

when her thoughts get too loud, she’s feeling down, or even if she just had a bad day, you’re always there waiting for her with open arms and willing to listen to any of her worries; which she truly appreciates more than you could ever know.

Yena’s truly her authentic self when she’s with you - there’s no front, no shyness, she’s just pure Yena around you, and it’s so comforting to know she feels that comfortable around you to be that way.

(back to the fun stuff, sorry hjdfsjsd)

if you don’t already know how to skateboard, well you’ve basically got your very own tony hawk here to teach you how to become a pro skater

or if you suck she’ll just make you sit on her board and pull you along by the hand, both of you giggling like kids as she speeds up down the street

Her ideal date is somewhere where you two can have fun together, like the arcade, fair, going on trips (although no matter where you go, Yena always makes it fun :] )

you also both love the drive in theater near your house, and you guys go so often that you’ve basically created cuddle paradise in the back of Yena’s car, bundling up in the back, wrapped up in each others arms with the seats pushed down, wanting the night to go on forever <3

has probably said ‘no homo’ after a makeout session before

but to be honest, no matter what she says or does makes your heart flutter and fill with joy, because she truly is the m0st loving and happy spirit you’ve been honoured to have in your life, and you would never, ever change a single thing about her :)))))))))))

NSFW From Here:

yena cockiest little shit wbk

whenever she’s fucking you and you’re in any way trying to suppress your moans, she is NOT having it, simply opting to fuck you harder until you scream her name in that desperate tone that she loves so much

her favourite thing ever is memorizing the spots that make you moan a little louder, abusing your weaknesses over and over again until you’re a whimpering mess beneath her

HAS to mark you all over or else she’s not happy - leading to hickeys on the inside of your thighs, on your abdomen, your neck, collarbones, anywhere she can get access to she will always claim as hers

plus the satisfaction of seeing your spent body the morning after, the purple marks on your skin a sign of how good she made you feel makes her SO cocky n possessive and like. you’re HERS and no one is going to change that okay?

has fucked you in the back of her car after, or even during, your dates to the drive in theater,,, cuz girlie doesn’t really give a fuck, in her world its just you two and only you two

whenever you’re watching the movie, it usually ends up with you being engrossed in each scene, leaning into Yena’s side comfortably, thinking she’s paying as much attention as you - that is until you feel her hand creep towards the inside of your thigh, and that’s when you know you’re about 5 minutes away from screaming Yena’s name at the top of your lungs <3

when she invites you over to the practice room under the guise that she wants to teach you izone’s new choreo but then somehow you ended up on a chair in the middle room while Yena’s giving you a lap dance>>>>

when you’re in between her legs making you feel good and she’s looking down at you, her eyes hooded and her lip tucked between her teeth telling you how you’re doing such a good job....... FUCK

the kind of girl to whisper the filthiest words she can possibly think of in your ear then pull away and make a cheesy joke that leaves you mind absolutely REELING because like. her duality what the fuck

yena in nothing but a signature black choker with you riding her thigh in one of her oversized t-shirts, falling to pieces as she holds you close, relishing in the feeling of your dripping core against her skin,,,

also THAT mf that’ll tease you under the tables even when you’re with a group of people,, her annoying ass will just be relishing in the way your jaw clenches as you try so hard to not squirm as she teases you with her fingers

and those random times where you′re just like, at work or out shopping or vibing with your friends and then all of a sudden you get a video notification from Yena,,, and its a video of her in front of the mirror on your room, her legs spread and her fingers deep in her own heat, her breathes uneven as she does her best to keep her phone steady as she moans out your name

she LOVES doing that shit, knowing you’re turned on as fuck thanks to her just,, makes her feel so powerful

on those nights after Yena’s been away with schedules for a  while and you finally get to see her, everything is always so intimate between, with longing kisses and lingering touches that truly are filled with not only lust but love too, pulling one another impossibly closer until all your senses are clouded with another.

August 7th is...

Disc Golf Day - Disc golf’s only gear is a disc or Frisbee™. Players start from a tee pad which is generally a rectangular area made of anything from rubber to cement or even brick. After each throw, the player progresses down the fairway. From where the disc lands, the player throws again and repeats until the disc lands in the target. As in traditional golf, the total number of throws a player takes to get the disc into the target is equal to the score for that hole.

International Hangover Day -  Every year on the day after International Beer Day, International Hangover Day marks a day of recovering from that international holiday. It’s also a day to learn about hangover remedies.  One of the most common symptoms associated with hangovers is a throbbing headache. People with hangovers might also feel sluggish, sweaty, tired, irritable, and nauseous. It’s clearly not fun to have a hangover. For most people with a hangover, these symptoms go away within 24 hours. Unfortunately for some, however, a hangover lasts up to 3 days.

Jamaican Patty Day - Celebrates a delicious turnover style pastry. Filled with a variety of fillings, Jamaican patties satisfy hunger with seasoned ground beef, chicken, seafood or vegetables. Made into a half-moon shape, the flaky crust provides a delicious package. While usually spicy, milder stuffings please those who are faint of heart.

Lighthouse Day -  A lighthouse serves multiple purposes such as marking dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, and reefs providing safe entry to harbors. They also provide aerial guidance. Once lit by open fire and candles, they’re now brightly lit by electric or oil-fueled lamps. However, the number of lighthouses are declining. Maintenance is expensive and modern electrical navigation systems are replacing them.

Mead Day -  One of the world’s oldest fermented beverages, mead is also called honey wine, ambrosia or nectar. A craftsman combines honey, water, and yeast to make mead.  The flavor of mead varies depending on the ingredients added to the fermentation. Anything from seasonal fruits, herbs, and blossoms can be added. Additionally, some mead makers carbonate their beverages like beer, sparkling cider, or wine.

Mustard Day - Used in many different cuisines, mustard comes from the seeds of the mustard plant. Depending on the kind of mustard, flavors and color will vary. For example, white or yellow mustard comes from a mustard known as Sinapis hirta. Brown or Indian mustard comes from Brassica juncea. And black mustard comes from Brassica nigra. 

Play Outside Day -  All year long, we are given numerous opportunities to get outside and play. But sometimes, life, responsibilities and distractions keep us from spending time in the fresh air as we should. National Play Outside Day is a reminder to stretch our legs and expend some energy in the great outdoors.

Purple Heart Day - Commemorates the creation of the oldest American military decoration for military merit. During the American Revolutionary War, the Badge for Military Merit decorated six known soldiers. General George Washington created the Badge of Merit in 1782. Washington intended the honor to be presented to soldiers for “any singularly meritorious action.”

Raspberries N’ Cream Day -  With the raspberry season in full swing, what better way to celebrate than with this simple and delicious treat.

Sandcastle Day - Sandcastles have likely been around for thousands of years, a favorite past time of both children and adults alike, but it is only recently that people have begun to take them seriously as an art form. The world’s tallest sandcastle was built on Myrtle Beach in South Carolina during the 2007 Sun Fun Festival. The structure was almost 50 feet (15 m) high and took 10 days to construct, using 300 truckloads of sand.
