[bluezey]

OMG I just heard an ad lib of Angel flirting with Alastor, and my mind went to Alastor having to fend off Joy's little hugs

Joy: (hugs Alastor's leg) 😊

Alastor: (shoos her off) five feet, please

But what if Joy hugged Angel Dust?

Joy: (hugs Angel Dust) ooh so soft 🥰

Angel Dust: (cuddles back).... wait, how old are you?

Joy: hm, good question. Let's see, I'm Riley's emotion, and Riley is thirteen-

Angel Dust: (drops Joy) nope. Way too young.

Joy: aww, can we still hug?

Angel Dust: well, you are warm and bubbly...

Soon Joy is getting carried around on Angel Dust's upper shoulders

Joy: whee! 😄

Angel Dust: you know, you ain't so bad Sunshine

Joy: yay, I have a nickname!

Angel Dust: I'd call you Smiles, but that's the pet name I give Al

Joy: ooh, can I call him Smiles too?

Angel Dust: yes

Alastor: no.

Joy: that's okay, I call you Happy Hooves anyway

Angel Dust: ha! I'm so calling him that 😆

Duckvember 2020

--Ponder--

Linking to an old playlist of mine BUT also including why I have these songs on there. Kinda fits the ponder theme okay. I’m trying I’m so behind here *SOB* 

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-BLrUhg7cOKMsu8bGh4CBh5C3EVXCUpy

This is my generic duck feels playlist I use when writing but I often have so many other playlists I use it's insaneeee but this is a nice beginning base until I get a feel for a story to make its own playlist haaaa. 

**Joywave - Bad Dreams*** 

-Ominous feel that some shady end of the world stuff is happening song. One of the main things I put this song to is Magica having a premonition of something bad is going to happen. But she doesn’t have the best rep with powerful magic types and with hero types so she has to make a ragtag team willing to help her. Haaa. Mind you in my headcanon the De Spell family line started by a witch that had a really good future sight so Magica takes it seriously and I GUESS she has to like… stop the world from ending. 

**M83 ft. HAIM - Holes in the Sky***

-Another ominous oh crap bad stuff is happening song wheee. I had an idea that I ended up using in a Duckverse RP of some of the alien hats from Darkwing being a different set of alien hats that were actual powerful witches. The RP I ended up having was for a parody of Hocus Pocus. What I attach this song to is where the hat set grab Magica, Gladstone, and an OC thats a powerful De Spell sibling (that's a whole other story.) That leaves Poe to defeat them save the Earth the usual. My headcanon for Poe is he cannot cast magic but has a wide knowledge of artifacts and spells. Could arm himself with some good magical artifacts. He ALSO would make a ragtag team to try to stop the 3 most powerful magic based people controlled by alien hats. That team would include Fethry and Gyro lol. Notice this song is a lot more postive than Magica’s Bad Dreams song because Poe’s being more positive about getting it done. Magica’s more ‘well we’re going to die anyways might as well TRY” and Poe is ‘ WE’RE GONNA DO THIS AND WE’RE GONNA MAKE IT OMG. Once I get over this crippling depression that I’m useless. Whee.”

**Do You Realize - Ursine Vulpine***

-Vague sad song for sad things. Main reason I had this song is for my Mighty Ducks the Animated Series headcanons for Drake Ducaine. I pretty much kill off all this family and friends in the past. You know, the war, saving stuff. SACRIFICING THEMSELVES SO HE CAN LIVE. His young daughter makes it. Am I not merciful. 

**My Tears are Becoming the Sea - M83***

-Really acidy trippy sad song. Great for fighting elder gods. For my main RPing OC’s on Duckverse this goes with some scenes of their past. Other main thing I use it for is Mighty Ducks the Animated Series I have it for Wildwing’s death.. Haaaa. I kill him off in his 60’s when he has to help save the 2nd Gen team (All the kids of the first team.) Well you know. He’s like the only duck chars I kill off ‘youngish.’ I dunno why most of these story ideas came in high school FRICK. 

**In A Heartbeat - In the House***

-I have loved this song from the second it was in 28 Days Later. I do not have one defined story line plot or character this goes to. I would put it on every song list I had if I felt like I could get away from it. EXCELLENT ATMOSPHERE.

**The Darkest Evening of the Year***

-Another great ominous atmosphere song. I stick this one with Gladstone but don’t put it on my actual Gladstone playlist for being too dark?!? I put it with him finding out what I headcanon the origins of his luck. AND OH BOY. I really want to give the vibe of that scene like some suspense/horror energy let me tell you.

**No Time for Caution - Hans Zimmer***

-Great like, ‘team prepares to fight a boss fight’ type music. Let's do this. We can fight an elder god. LETS GO!!!! But still that bit of dark tone like - hmmm we may not be successful. Ahhhhh.I also think of Tanya from Mighty Ducks working late fixing something or lawd taking care of a teammate gotta find a cure for something. They just gave this woman all the jobs. AGH. 

**Happiness Does Not Wait - Olafur Arnalds***

-A sad yet happy tune. That mix of energy. This one I put with Grandma Duck. In my headcanon all her adult kids have since past but you know all her grandkids visit all the time. It's kinda weird that like, the whole gen in between was wiped out but uh, I have a reason plotted out for that. But you know, Grandma little sad all her kids are gone but sees them in her now adult grandkids ahhh. 

**Low Gravity - Hugo Kant***

-Actually ModMad suggested this one to me when I shared this playlist with them when they made the “Over the Rainbow’ comic. Shared it because it really fit this playlist so I could not  not share ahhh. Anyways. That's one of my top fav comics by Modmad, and actually in an unrelated way inspired some of the backstory for the two main OC’s I RP in Duckverse. Wheeee.

**Everything You Do is a Balloon - Boards of Canada***

-A good ominous ‘the hero has won but at what cost’ energy. This is a song I’ve had for ages and directly put to the abuse I put Drake Ducaine through. I’m so sorry. Weh. I literally have a separate playlist that is Drake Ducaine/Wildwing anxiety cuz I headcanon Wildwing the reincarnate of Drake Ducaine because of COURSE. 

**Goodbye to a World - Small Dust/Porter Robinson Cover***

-I just love music like this. First used this song for Mighty Ducks because the previous life of Drake Ducaine I had be a little duck boy that showed kindness to a Saurian Goddess and she ended up taking the Duck side in whatever fight went down and well the rest is history which will I ever write a story for I dunno. And in the next life as Drake Ducaine the Goddess also reincarnated in a mortal body so they get to work together again yay. This is also one of the main themes I use for my Duck OC’s Felicity and Faustina. In RP land uh they’re from an alternate universe that got all ate up by an elder god and they were the only two survivors cuz some weird luck and magic runs in their family. Their version is a more trippy version here:  https://youtu.be/HzuHAMg1Hng OH WAIT I’M WRONG THEIR MAIN THEME IS A DIFFERENT PORTER ROBINSON SONG HAAA still enjoy. 

**Soldier - Fleurie***

-I use this song several times for Gladstone. Mainly for one story I DO plan to write someday I have so many parts of it done. Anyways he screws up big time and has to fix a problem while he still have luck that works on him, he needs to actually do something to solve the problem and its grueling and takes  a long time and travel around the world and bad stuff just happening to those around him and AHHH. Anyways.  Also a good song for Djinn in new Ducktales theres stories I have reason for his for him let me tell you someday. Ha. 

**Battle Cry - Imagine Dragons***

-A great mello fight song for everything. Just. Some good shit. Heroes making sacrifices. Stuff going down. Hidden powers having to be used getting exposed but you GOTTA SAVE THE WORLD. 

**Elephant Survival - Emancipator***

-A good song for villains to think about their feelings. I loved this song when I came across it. I put it to my headcanon for Negaverse Gladstone. And a little Gladstone in there too. There is a darker mix here: https://youtu.be/59A3k8tpPMI

**Do You Realize - The Flaming Lips***

-This song again but with a slight positive energy?!? Dying and seeing loved ones that passed on kinda vibe. BUT ALSO I abuse reincarnation tropes so bad. This is a good reincarnation trope song. Lawd. 

**Saturn - Sleeping at Last***

-Roll Credits energy to a movie that ended not happy but not sad just the normal in between of life. There is a really good Poe De Spell short story I need to finish that makes me think of this song. I also put it to Drake Ducaine who supposedly dies of old age having saved and rebuilt Puckworld Society. That's a lot of pressure to put on a guy y’all. Also fits my abuse of reincarnate trope abuse. Also for some Djinn x Gene okay like they’re gonna adopt a lot of kids and all those kids are going to write stuff down to their kids like how Djinn writes stuff down and they’re gonna tell stories of their great great great great great grandparents Djinn and Gene forever OKAY.

Anyways, have some feels y'all.

Tree House Kisses, Chapter 20 (Adorney) - Scorpio and Veronica

A/N: Click here for previous chapters. xoxo!

Chapter Summary: Sometimes sixteen is not particularly sweet. Courtney’s birthday party has arrived, and she’s determined for it to be perfect.

Chapter 20: Rock ‘N’ Roll Party Queen

“Good moooorning!” Adore trilled, sailing into Courtney’s bedroom with a breakfast tray. “Happy birthday, princess!”

Courtney shot up in bed, pushing a sleep mask off her face, panicked. “What time is it!? Did i oversleep?! Omigod!”

“No, don’t worry, it’s only 8:30.” Adore slid the tray onto the bed and climbed in beside her. “You said I was supposed to be over to help set up at 10.”

Courtney relaxed against the pillows, sighing. “Yeah, okay. Jesus, you scared me.” She smiled, calming down a little. “What did you make me?”

“Well, Bonnie made you blueberry pancakes, that gross fake bacon and some kind of coconut banana smoothie. I made you this.” She handed over a black box with “2001” written on the top.

Courtney opened her mouth so that Adore could feed her a bite of pancakes while she took the lid off the box. She giggled at the contents of the box, picking up the note and reading it out loud.

“Remember when we were 11 and I broke my ankle and you were jealous of my cast, because you are a psycho, so my mom wrapped your ankle in an ace bandage and surgical tape and then gave you a pair of crutches and you hobbled around like a drama queen and made everyone sign your bandage? Well, I made everyone sign another one. Cause you deserve to have all your silly fantasies indulged.” Courtney looked up. “Awww, thanks, babe.” She leaned over to give Adore a hug.

“Read the messages!” Adore urged, feeding her a strip of soy bacon.

OMG I remember when you made us all do this when you were 11, hahaha. GET WELL SOON HONEY! XOXO! <3, Darienne

Hey Cheerleader. This is fuckin weird. -Willam

Feel Better, Courtney! Love, Pearl

Get better soon, mi puta sucia! Te amo forever!! Muchos Besos, April

Hey cutie! Love you and your beautiful voice!! Rest and get better! -Jinkx

Court, I this was silly in 6th grade and it’s REALLY silly now. But I hope you like it. So get well soon, I guess. Your friend, Bob

Hope your imaginary ankle heals, Courtney! I mean I know your ankle is real but I mean your imaginary injury. I hope that heals. Whee, yay for pretend!!! Love, Thorgy

HURRY UP AND GET BETTER CAUSE WE NEED YOU ON TOP OF THAT PYRAMID OKURRRRRR! KISSES, GANJA

I don’t really get what’s going on here. Xo, Gia

Gia is a moron. Always and Forever, Alyssa Edwards

Fuck Adore, this present is stupid. I love you. -Roy

^JEALOUS MUCH??^ This present is genius and your boyfriend obviously has no imagination! <3, Dory

Courtney burst out laughing, snuggling against Adore’s warm body. “This was awesome. Thanks. And thank you for breakfast, too. Bonnie’s the best.”

“Alright, cuddleslut, what’s on the schedule today?” Adore asked, kissing the top of Courtney’s head.

“The people from the party supply place are delivering the tables and stuff by 10, and I told Darienne and Roy to come at 10:30.”

“Gotcha.”

She reached for her clipboard. “I should probably make sure that my mom’s boyfriend is on his way to help set up all the lights and stuff. My sister is picking up the cake and the food from Pasadena on her way here, and then we have to put it in the oven while we do hair and makeup. My mom will take care of the final set-up with grandma and my aunt.”

Adore opened her mouth to respond but Courtney continued to speak.

“I have to make sure that there’s power for Tomas, the DJ, and that we print out the lists for the photographer. I was supposed to do that last night but I forgot and oh!”

“Court!” Adore interrupted.

“Yeah?”

“Take a breath, babe. Have some more pancakes.” She held out a forkful and Courtney acquiesced.

-

The way Courtney was giving out orders, it seemed to Roy like she was planning a wedding, not a birthday party.

“Roy, take these chairs outside and set them evenly around the tables.” Courtney pointed to the stack of chairs against the wall.

“By myself? Where’s Adore, so she can help me?” Roy scratched his head looking around.

“Adore is doing other things. Just take a few at a time-- No! Carry them... like this,” Courtney fixed the chairs under Roy’s arm to help him carry the maximum chairs that he could.

As Roy wobbled to the door trying not to drop the chairs, Adore entered, snickering when she saw Roy having a bit of trouble.

“Need some help?” she asked as she held the door open.

“Yeah, take--”

“No Roy, I told you. I need Adore to help me with other stuff. Use your muscles,” Courtney chided, pulling Adore away from Roy causing the door to close on him.

“Uh...” Adore looked back at Roy, trying not to laugh at his groans of pain.

“Help me move this projector outside for the video,” Courtney said, gesturing to the overhead.

“Video?” Adore asked, moving to help Courtney lift the projector.

“Yeah,” Courtney nodded as they headed out the door. “Let's move it over there, I want it by our table so that I can be front and center when the video plays.” Courtney nodded guiding them to where she wanted it to be sat.

“So, like baby videos and all of that?” Adore smirked.

“Yep, annnddd,” she stretched out teasingly, “the video of you, me, Dela, April and Darienne doing Wannabe,” Courtney smiled sitting the projector down.

“No! No you didn’t,” Adore stared wide eyed at her.

“Yes, yes I did. It’s super cute and one of my most precious memories. Remember earlier that day we argued about who would get to be Ginger and you started to cry until I told you, you could be her next time?” Courtney giggled.

“Yeah, I remember because you lied and I never got to be Ginger,” Adore shook her head, “But I also remember the choreography being fucking awful. Which is why you should probably skip over that video,” Adore rolled her eyes.  

Courtney grinned, asking teasingly, “Afraid you’re not gonna look cool in front of Raja?”

“No one is gonna look cool in that video, but Raja isn’t coming.”

“What?! Why didn’t you tell me?!” Courtney’s hand flew to her cheek, brow furrowed in distress.

“I--you didn’t even want her here. I had to beg you to let me invite her, why are you upset?”

“Because now I have to re-do the tables, Adore! She was sitting with us, because she was your date, and now it’s gonna be--”

“Re-do the tables?”

“The TABLE ASSIGNMENTS!” Courtney pointed to the stack of place cards, names carefully lettered on pink and silver stars.

Adore shook her head. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know that we had table assignments, I thought it was like, a party, I thought--”

“Ugh!” Courtney threw up her hands, exasperated. “How will people know where to sit if we don’t have placecards? I need to go get the seating chart!” She flounced back inside to grab more supplies.  

Adore stood there confused as she watched Courtney leave. Roy came up behind Adore, putting his hands on her shoulders, whispering, “Welcome to hell…”

Darienne walked over with a box of centerpieces. “Give her a break, guys. Party planning is very stressful.”

Roy rolled his eyes. “Yeah, we know, it’s really hard to pick napkins that match your shoes or whatever.”

“Stop. After you finish the chairs, why don’t you go help Todd and the guys with the lights, Roy? Adore, can you help me finish the tables? We need to put out all the centerpieces and lay out the placecards by the entrance.”

“Aye aye, captain.”

-

Darienne paused, in the middle of filling up balloons from a helium container with Adore, at the sound of shrieking from the kitchen. She looked at Adore. “Let’s go see what the problem is.”

“Do we have to?” Roy asked nearby.

“Come on…”

All three of them approached the kitchen door tentatively, where Courtney was on the phone with her sister, nearly hysterical.

“Kimmy! You said that Derek would be helping you!...No, fine, but I don’t really think you’re gonna be able to handle it all on your own and he has an SUV and you have a tiny little car and will it even fit? What it the cake gets messed up?!...I thought you could hold the box while he drove!” Courtney paced around the kitchen, voice at a fever pitch. “Don’t yell at me! I’m not mad at you, I’m just trying to figure out--...Don’t hang up, Kimmy!”

Darienne opened the door and walked inside. “Honey…”

Courtney turned around, tears streaked down her face. “I don’t know what to do…I think it’s too much for one person, and she’s all mad at me now, but I was just trying to tell her that she needs help...she’s upset, I think she had a fight with her boyfriend. But how was I supposed to know that?!” Courtney sniffled, letting Darienne stroke her hair.

Roy and Adore exchanged a look, and then Roy cleared his throat. “Uh, Court, I could borrow my dad’s truck, and either meet Kim, or like, just take care of it myself.”

“But what about--”

“And if you want someone to hold the cake, I can bring Eddy. Or if you don’t trust him, I’m sure Lynn is free. She’s a loser.” He flashed his dimples charmingly. “What do you think?”

“Really? You don’t mind? It’s all the way in Pasadena.”

“Yeah, well, it’s your birthday. Consider me your willing slave.”

Courtney threw her arms around his neck, kissing his face all over. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“So...crisis averted?” Darienne asked.

“Yes,” Courtney sighed happily.

“Oh, thank god!” Adore breathed.

All smiles now, Courtney wiped her eyes and chirped, “We should get started on the gift bags!”

“Okay,” Darienne answered, “But we still need to finish the balloons, so why don’t you take Adore and Roy and I will finish outside?”

“Perfect!” Courtney grabbed Adore’s hand and pulled her into the dining room, which was loaded with party favors.

“Why do I have to do the balloons?” Roy whined.

“‘Cause you have the most hot air,” Darienne explained, shoving him towards the door.

Courtney sat down at the dining room table with a sigh. “Sorry about that. I just had this image of Kimmy driving on the freeway with the cake just like, flying around her backseat.” She shook her head. “I think I’m losing my mind.”

Adore smiled. “I think you need another present.” She pulled a black box labeled “2002” out of her bag and handed it over.

Courtney squealed and clapped her hands, pulling the lid off the box. Inside was a book she remembered well, a tearjerker by Lurlene McDaniel called “Six Months to Live,” with a note that read:

Remember how we were obsessed with all those books about the kids dying of cancer? We’re really fucked up, but at least we’re fucked up together. XO

Courtney giggled. “I still don’t know what that death obsession was all about.”

“It made sense for me, I’ve always been this moody emo bitch. But you...everyone thinks you’re all sunshine and rainbows, but I know on the inside... you’re really a sadistic weirdo,” Adore teased.

Courtney fluttered her lashes. “Well, there’s more to me than sunshine and rainbows, I guess.”

-

The snapping of Courtney opening and closing her phone was starting to irritate Kim, as she wrapped Courtney’s blonde tresses around the curler.

Once Roy had dropped off the food and cake (which, of course, had all survived the journey from Pasadena with no problems whatsoever), he and Darienne had left to go home and change so that, like all of the other guests, they could be dazzled by Courtney’s ensemble when she made her grand entrance.

Adore sat on Courtney’s bed, trying and failing to finish her own eyeliner in a compact mirror - she was supposed to be getting ready with her, and eventually doing her makeup, once Kim finished with her hair. Instead, she seemed to be getting distracted watching on as Courtney grew more anxious, gnawing on her bottom lip and flipping the phone open and closed faster and faster.

“Courtney, stop before you break it. Mom can’t afford to buy you a new one. Especially after today,” Kim said.

“Have you talked to Daddy? I texted him, but he didn’t reply,” Courtney looked in the mirror at her sister.

“Yeah, I did…” Kim nodded, knowing how important it was for their dad to be here. “He said he’d be a little late, but he’ll be here.”

“Ugh,” Courtney groaned throwing her head back, “Ow!” she yelped when the heat of the curlers stung her.

“Hold still or you’ll get burned,” Kim reprimanded.

Deciding that Courtney needed a distraction from her father’s absence, Adore climbed off the bed, “Courtney, guess what happened last night,” Adore said.

“What?”

“Well, I took your advice...”

“My advice?”

“Yeah, with Raja,” Adore nodded, leaning against the dresser.

“Who’s Raja?” Kim asked, running her fingers through Courtney’s curls.

“This really fucking gorgeous senior,” Adore grinned.

“And you two are…”

“Well, I was at her house last night to watch a movie.”

“Alone?” Courtney asked, fingernails digging into the palm of her hands.

Adore snorted, “I wish. I got to meet Raja’s other friends and they were a...welcoming group. Carmen hangs out with them too. You remember Carmen, right, Courtney? Roy’s ex.”

Courtney blinked up at Adore, “Yeah, I remember her. But you said you took my advice,” Courtney said, staring at her reflection in the mirror, wanting Adore to get to the point of the story.

Kim looked between the two girls recognizing the strain in her sister’s voice that Adore wasn’t paying any attention to.

“Oh, yeah. So, after the movie was over and everyone left. I thought about what you said and then started tripping over my words like an idiot, basically asking Raja if there was something between us or if it was in my head and…”

“And?” Courtney dug her fingernails harder into her palms, scooting to the edge of the chair as Kim tousled the curls on her head.

“Uh, I’m going to go get your tiara,” Kim squeezed Courtney’s shoulder before leaving the room.

Adore waited for Kim to leave before continuing, “Raja didn’t even let me finish talking before she walked over to me. It was kind of like in a movie when the person shuts the other person up with a kiss. I know it sounds cheesy, but it was fucking hot. Then we went to her car and made out for like an hour before she took me home.”

Courtney tried to keep her emotions from showing on her face as a lump formed in her throat. She didn’t understand why Adore making out with Raja bothered her so much, but she figured it had something to do with Raja’s better-than-you attitude.

She swallowed and managed to exclaim an enthusiastic, “That’s amazing Dory!”

Courtney stood up, wrapping her arms around Adore’s neck, pulling her into a hug.

“I told you. Sometimes you just have to make the first move,” she said, plastering a smile on her face.

“Yeah, well, you were right.” Adore pulled back, clearing her throat. “Which, I think deserves another present.”

Courtney giggled. “At the very least.”

Adore rolled her eyes and handed over a box with “2003” on it, which Courtney opened happily, pulling out a Magic Mountain keychain and the accompanying note.

Our trip to Magic Mountain at the end of 8th grade was important because I had two major realizations on that day. One, that I am a gigantic fucking wuss. And two, that you are a whore for danger and if we don’t watch you closely, you will willingly participate in your own death. So consider me part of an elite team keeping a close eye on your safety. Big brother is watching. It’s for your own good.

“Adore, roller coasters are fun,” Courtney defended.

“No dude, they are not. They are death traps and you are nuts.”

“You have to admit you had fun that day!”

“Uhhhh…”

“Come on! The chocolate dipped bananas?! And remember we wore our underwear outside our jeans like the ‘Slave 4 U’ video?”

Adore laughed. “Yeah, come to think of it, that’s even more disturbing that Goliath and Batman and Viper combined…”

-

Adore was finishing up Courtney’s makeup while Kim bustled around, trying to help Karen with the final setup and not strangle her demanding little sister.

“Kimmy, is my dress here?” Courtney whined.

“Yeah, do you want me to go get it?”

“Yeah, and is Tomas almost done setting up? I want the music to already be going when people come. Also, make sure all the food is good and covered and that everything’s already out there.”

Kimmy rolled her eyes, but stood up anyway. “Anything else, your highness?”

“Yeah, make sure the the ice hasn’t melted on the drinks. If so, dump the water out and put new ice in. Also tell the photographer that my right side is my best side, but also get shots of my left for variety.”

As Kim left the room, Adore put down the eyeshadow brush, looking into Courtney’s green eyes. “You’re being really extra right now.”

“I’m just trying to give her stuff to do so she leaves us alone…” Courtney said under her breath, and both girls giggled.

-

Courtney pulled nervously on her gloves and peeked through her bedroom curtains at the party guests trickling into her backyard. “Not that many people are here yet. I mean I know it’s early, but...my dad’s still not here.”

“But you knew he was gonna be late, right?” Adore asked, tightening the laces on the back of her dress and tying them into a bow.

“Yeah.”

“I was just out there. April and Dari are here, and Pearl. Roy’s here, of course, charming the pants off your family, really winning those future husband points like the brown noser he is.” Adore rolled her eyes. “He even remembered the pocket square that matches your dress. Speaking as a lesbian, straight people do the gayest shit ever.”

Courtney giggled.

“Come on. Ready to make your grand entrance?”

Courtney nodded, taking Adore’s hand and following her down the hall and to the back door where the guests were gathered.

“Alright, go ahead.”

Courtney took a deep breath as she gathered the glittery tulle of the fuchsia colored skirt in her hands, and Adore opened the door. One foot in front of the other, time seemed to slow down as she entered the backyard.

Roy’s eyes widened and a huge smile spread across his face as he watched Courtney walk into the backyard. She looked as if she had just stepped out the pages of a fairytale. The lights shined off of the rhinestoned bodice and her bare shoulders dusted with glitter, thanks to Adore. The tight corset made her waist look incredibly tiny against the fullness of the poofy layered skirt. Her blonde hair was curled, half up, the rest falling down her back as the rhinestone tiara was bobby pinned on top of her head. The silver tiara matched her necklace and the ring and bracelet layered over her gloves.  

Courtney couldn’t have been happier with everyone’s reaction; gasping and awwing as she twirled, so everyone could get a good look.

But, she could be happier. Courtney wished that her father could have been there to see her. Where was he? She shook her head slightly, blinking back tears, smiling at Roy.

“Wow, Courtney! You look beautiful,” Roy stepped forward, grabbing Courtney's hand.

“So freaking gorgeous!” Darienne practically squealed.

“Yes!” April added. “You look like a princess, lo apruebo.”

“Yeah, wow! You look amazing,” Pearl nodded.

“Thank you! Thank you so much.” Courtney played coy, accepting all the compliments with a bashful flutter of lashes.

“Yep, she was a bit of a fixer upper, but l worked my magic,” Adore joked, wrapping her arm around Courtney’s shoulders, placing a light kiss to her cheek.

“Dory,” Courtney pouted.

“Courtney,” at the sound of Muriel’s voice, Adore removed her arm from around Courtney, leaving her to deal with her grandmother on her own.

“Well, do you approve?” Karen asked, kissing her daughter on the forehead and gesturing to the set-up.

“Everything looks great. Thank you, Mommy.” Courtney smiled, then her brow furrowed. “Why is Jordan wearing navy blue?”

Karen turned to look at Courtney’s 9-year-old cousin, who was in fact wearing a navy blue polo shirt. “Oh, well, that looks dark, I’m sure Aunt Catherine thought it was black.”

“Well, it’s not, and it’s not semi-formal.” Courtney put her hands on her hips. “It’s going to ruin the pictures.”

“Courtney, honey, please relax, it’s night time, no one will be able to tell the difference…”

Courtney turned to Roy. “Does Eddy have a black or white button-down that Jordan could borrow? Or like a sweater? Something he wears for church?”

Roy saluted and pulled out his phone. “On it!”

“Roy, I really wish you wouldn’t indulge her!” Karen told him, pouring herself a glass of wine, muttering, “I will be fucking thrilled when this day is over.”

“Happy birthday, Courtney!” screamed Laganja, bursting into the backyard and racing over to hug her. “Omigod, you look like a Disney princess. Spin around!”

“Yaaaaaaas!” Gia crowed. “Come on, let’s dance!”

Adore sighed in relief that the cheerleaders had arrived. Even though they weren’t her favorite people, maybe having more party guests would cause Courtney to relax and have some fun. If she was dancing, she wouldn’t be stressing out about dress codes and her father being late.

It only took a song and a half before it appeared that was just the trick. The kids were all having a blast on the dance floor while the adults chatted and enjoyed the hors d'oeuvres over by the tables.

Pearl nudged Adore on the shoulder, who turned just in time to see Bob bend down and kiss April softly on the lips.

“Awwww...gross,” Adore commented, causing Pearl to laugh. Then when Alyssa appeared, Adore groaned softly.

“What?” asked Pearl.

“No, it’s just...Alyssa’s dress has red trim.”

“So?” Pearl looked mystified.

“Courtney’s been freaking out when people deviate from the black and white dress code.”

Pearl laughed. “It’s like, one little flower on the waistband. I think it’ll be fine.”

“Who knew Cheerleader was such a diva?” asked Willam.

Adore gave him a Look. “Only those of us who have been around for more than one birthday.”

“You have pink shoes,” Pearl pointed out.

“These were assigned to me. I think I’m like the maid of honor or something. Darienne has pink gloves. Roy’s got that pocket square.”

“This party is so gay,” Willam laughed.

“I know, right? Be right back. I’m gonna go ask the DJ to play some Britney.”

“And you judge me for Madonna?! You’re a garbage person!” Pearl called after her.

After the current song ended, Tomas announced, “We’ve got a special request for some Britney circa 2004, and this song happens to be on the Birthday Girl’s list of pre-approved songs, so...here we go…”

Courtney squealed happily when “Toxic” began to play, and Adore made her way through the crowded dance floor to hand her the “2004” present, a Britney t-shirt…

So last year, you got a pretty fucking cool birthday present, that karaoke machine, and we spent about a month singing Britney songs non-stop. For the record, I’m not opposed to breaking it out again tonight.

Courtney gave Adore a hug. “Good to know,” she told her.

“Are you okay?” Adore asked, sensing that her mood was dipping a little.

“I just...he’s still not here. We’re about to serve dinner and I wanted to play the video while people ate, and I really wanted him to see it. And…” Courtney swallowed. “I guess it doesn’t matter. I mean, I can always show him later, right?”

“Yeah, exactly!” Adore kissed her on the forehead. “Play it now and put me out of my misery. The sooner we get that Spice Girls shit over with, the better.”

Courtney giggled. “You got it, Scary.”

“Ugh. I’m never gonna hear the end of this,” Adore groaned, looking over at Pearl and Willam, knowing they were going to torture her forever once they saw that video.

How did this happen?

I went to bed not knowing how many followers I had, I wake up to having over 600 !!! O_O

Then I went to check my e-mail and this is what I got:

******* is now following you. Whatever!

******* is now following you. Finally.

******* is now following you. OMG!

******* is now following you. Swoon <3

******* is now following you. Win!

Thank you to all of you for following little old me.

And I can write that, because I’m only 167cm/5′5″, not very tall at all, and even though I’m only 29, my cousin’s two daughters still called me an old lady the other day.

I’ll post something tonight to celebrate this milestone!

if it makes you feel better my aunt said to me tonight something along the lines of "literally i can't even talk to my kid about her essay so you are going to do it for me okay okay good." so it is 100% okay to occasionally outsource parenting. <3

It is ok and necessary and much better for your children if there are more adult-parental-figures around, but I don’t HAVE ANY near here, so. *sighs some more*

A TALE OF MY ONE & ONLY TIME SNOWBOARDING! Was very smart from the very beginning, used an old board with broken fasteners & went down a steep road made mainly of ice. Whee! Fifteen minutes later ive got lengths of styrofoam taped to both forearms and am whimper/praying that nothing's actually broken. It wasn't. Yay! Haven't been on a snowboard since then. DOUBLE YAY! Aunt Asy please have fun but like, carefully okay? Carefully

Omg, yes. Snowboarding is so dangerous, I’ve never fallen over so much in my life! Even ice skating was much easier!

stays with lisa and ben

is..is sam manipulating Dean? I figure he is

"because you care" uhoh

listen this is fun because I don't know the details of what happens, but I do know vaguely some plot points

the impala

ok so

1. a hunter tormented by his hunting past living in suburbia and then having his past come get him? actually interesting jumping off point, I'm not...opposed to that? like as far as premise, bringing in resurrected family is kinda interesting, and adds a side that we haven't seen, because we got mostly John

2. Also, it's clear SOMETHING is happening, because Sam is NOT acting normally, and neither is Samuel, like there's something Off

3. Dean is actually clearly fucked up. Like they say "you got out and were happy" no mans is just good at lying both to himself and others. Like the holy water, the paranoia, all of that, not Fine, and I think he didn't get any closure, didn't get any chance to figure anything out on his own, had really no control over it and went as a favor to sam...didn't do so good.

4. I can't believe they all knew man that's so fucked

5. Lisa is pretty solid but unfortunately she's got Written by Men disease, there is NO WAY she'd be that understanding

6. where is cas

7. holy hell it's so bright without that FUCKING FILTER ON OMG

GoT 7.3

Another week of travel times not making any damned sense whatsoever unless there are secretly jet planes in Westeros.

The dragon flyover scaring the crap out of Jon and Davos was awesome.

[Minor books spoilers, mentions of incest and rape]

Sansa taking exactly zero of Littlefinger’s shit is extremely satisfying.

Bran is creeeeeeeeeeeepy.  I feel bad for Sansa.  What a letdown to go from “YAY MY BROTHER IS ALIVE!!!” to “Okaaaaaaaaay, why are you taking about three-eyed birds and omniscience and somehow remotely viewing my wedding/rape?”  *backs away slowly*

Nothing about the treatment or recovery time from Jorah’s greyscale makes any kind of sense.  It’s all on the surface, there’s no virus or whatever kind of pathogen left in his body that will cause a relapse, and all those horrible raw sores just healed over in no time at all.  Sure.  Seems legit.  Who knew it was that easy?

It looks like they’re building up to Dany discovering Jon’s status as formerly-dead, which gives me hope that they might actually have his whole death/resurrection thing finally matter somehow.  Seriously, it doesn’t seem to have changed Jon at all, and it really should have.  Maybe when Dany confronts him about it, he’ll finally break and have some kind of reaction.

I did like the scene where they’re watching the dragons fly around, and not just because, well...yay, dragons!  She’s like, “I named two of them for my brothers!” and all of us are like, “Oh yeah, Viserys and Rhaegar!  You know, Jon, YOUR REAL DAD?”  Except he doesn’t know.  (You know nothing, Jon Snow.  Heh.)

I know the show has the tendency to make Tyrion do no wrong and be right all the time, which can indeed be over-the-top, but I did like the scene where he teases Jon about looking better whilst brooding on a cliff than he does.  (And it’s true.)  

And he’s right that it would be a terrible sign of Daenerys’ sanity and fitness to rule if she was like, “Oh hello, person I have never met before who is technically in rebellion against me.  What’s that you say?  Army of the undead?  Of course that’s a thing!  No, no, I don’t need any evidence to suddenly believe in this supposed myth!   Let’s drop all my life-long goals and go fight ice zombies!  Whee!”

Yeah.  If she’s any kind of ally worth having, she would take a bit of convincing.  Otherwise halfway to the Wall someone might wander by and ask her to go help them fight a bunch of rollerskating vampires, and she’d go with them instead.

Moving on...  It seems like a waste of resources and time to try capturing Casterly Rock, since it involves sailing all the way around the southern tip of the continent, and at least in show!canon the Lannister treasury is broke.  It’s a symbolic victory, at best.  Dany would be better served keeping her fleet in one place, especially with the (magically teleporting) Greyjoy navy prowling the waters.  If she would just go ahead and take over King’s Landing, she wouldn’t have to worry about the message she’s sending to Cersei via capturing her family’s seat.  Because Cersei would be dragon chow.

And after that torture scene tonight, I would be quite happy to see that happen sooner rather than later.  (Not that it wasn’t very well-acted, because it was, but yeeeeeeeeesh.)

Speaking of Cersei, can this PUHLEEEEEEEZE be the last time she and Jaime get intimate? Ugh!  His character arc is not only stagnant, it’s drifting backwards every time they get frisky.  At this point in the books he’s at the “new phone, who dis?” stage, burning her letters and being angry and disgusted by her needy, self-centered pleas for attention.  

Jaime was supposed to have broken down to his lowest point and then be carefully rebuilding himself to be a better man, a man his idealistic teenage self would have been proud of.  Part of that was cutting ties to Cersei, who is repulsed by the new man he’s turning into.  THAT WAS INTERESTING!  This “lol twincest so shocking omg” thing they’re plodding along with on the show...not so much.  Since his Life-Changing Road Trip With Brienne(tm) was immediately followed by the sept scene (that absolutely was a rape no matter what the show runners tried to say), I’ve pretty much given up on the show doing anything resembling book canon with his character, but it’s still frustrating.

That last scene with him and Olenna, though...  Oh my.  Exquisitely acted on both their parts.  The dawning look of shock and horror in his eyes was amazing.

TL;DR:  Overall an enjoyable episode, as long as you could look past the nonsensical travel times and not think about Jaime’s book characterization.  Could also have used more dragons, but that’s true of everything.  ;)

[mysmesomefluff]

13, 14, 30, 31 and 45 if you'd like! Really love you writing! :)

Aww, thank you anon! :)

13. Hardest character to write

Well, I haven’t really written fanfiction with Jumin V or Saeyoung yet, but I think out of the three I find Saeyoung the hardest to write. I feel it’s easier for me to grasp Jumin and V, but Saeyoung is just... I don’t know. I can’t really predict the 707 side to him because that part of him is just wild and crazy in a way I can never truly replicate. I’ve featured him and MC in some parts of my fics, and I still find it very difficult to portray them to a satisfactory level. :\

14. Easiest character to write

S-A-E-R-A-N

Idk why but a part of me just kind of resonates with his character. I guess I just have a thing for hot characters with tragic backstories.... XD I just feel so much for him, and it’s easy for me to just put myself in his shoes. I see a little bit of myself in him, I suppose. It’s kind of hard to explain. I don’t really know why he comes so easily to me too, but oh well haha. 

30. Hardest part of writing

Writing LOL.

Seriously though. So many things just come to mind. I guess one of the harder things can be details? For example, if you’re going to even mention the use of sedatives or drugs in any form in your story, you’ve got to do research. Tons of it. Just for maybe a sentence or two about it in the entire fic LOL. How they work, what kind of effects they have on different people, etc. This is the most tedious part of writing.

I would say that the toughest part of writing is to keep at it. It’s not easy to be able to push through and complete a multi-chapter fic, especially if it’s a long one. Usually writing is like a burst of inspiration that keeps you going for a bunch of chapters, but once it gets to the tricky sections that you don’t feel up to writing, it gets tiresome to continue and actually finish the story. And it doesn’t really help that inspiration could come for a new story altogether, which brings your attention away from your current story. I guess that’s why writers are always encouraging readers to leave comments, because I can honestly say that comments and reviews keep us going and pushes us towards the goal of finishing the darn thing, because they really give us the support we need to get past the tricky sections and the occasional writer’s block. :) 

31. Easiest part of writing

Getting into character is usually not really a big problem for me (aside from Saeyoung. Yes, characters like him give me a very hard time but it also challenges me to improve, so I guess it’s not all that bad). It’s kind of borrowed from the way i interact with people, I suppose. I usually try to understand their sides of the story, imagine how it would feel being in their places. 

I remember a reader once asked me if I had a relative who fought cancer or if I had that experience myself after reading a story in which my protagonist had cancer, but I honestly have never had such an experience, quite fortunately. I just didn’t find it all that hard to get into her headspace and imagine how I would feel if I had cancer myself. I’m actually not sure if people have a hard time with characterization in general, but I would say it comes to me rather naturally. 

(UNLESS IT’S FREAKING SAEYOUNG CHOI. I love him but I also hate him omg)

45. Share the synopsis of a story you’re working on that you haven’t published yet.

LOL ummm I guess it would be “Heal Me”? Another Saeran x Reader fic that will only be published officially after Believe Again is complete.

But, I don’t have an official summary for the story, so this is going to sound... pretty bad. 

In short, the reader is an intern in the hospital that Saeran is in during secret end 02, and every day she brings him a different kind of flower, placing it in a vase by the window that he tends to quietly look out of when he’s not fighting a therapist or doctor. And from there a relationship blooms between them. :)

(uhuhu blooms get it blooooooms)

((I love flowers whee))

The first chapter has already been published on this blog, so if you want to check it out, click here. :)

What to expect after coming out as Bisexual to everyone while being happily married to a supportive spouse:

☣️My toxic relatives: Oh no she’s bisexual that means she is definitely secretly dating a girl behind her husband’s back! Oh no what a hoe!

💜Me: Whee! I’m happily married I love my hubby uwu he has been so supportive and he says he’s proud of me for coming out and giving me lots of love omg yay

☣️Toxic relatives: oh my god what an attention seeking slut

☣️Toxic relatives: omg we have to talk to her husband about our assumptions behind her back!

[llonelywater]

slept in til 930 today which was a whole new record.... probably sleeping off the crazy days in acls lol. also helped that the weather was fantastic!!!

had a productive day in school today yay! omg we ran through 6 different short exams and 1 long case each. i need to learn to be more accommodating to people even when i am tired sigh. and be less reluctant to help others esp when theyve helped me so much.

not sure why but over the week/ weekend i just levelled up re: not giving a shit about people (in the appropriate situation/ context ofc!!)..... v emotionally exhausting lol to always care about these things and to invest so much time and thought into it. a while ago i was feeling very sad about losing a lot of my friends after/ during jc (esp when i was in the throes of anorexia lmao and being the shittiest and least sociable friend in the world) so i decided i would take every existing friendship seriously. but there should be a realistic limit to how hard i try and last week has been the tipping point. ofc im not going to be antagonistic and unresponsive to acts of kindness/ friendliness! but im just going to stop trying extra hard and caring more than i need to.

okay i will finish studying bph and then go shop on zalora whee!!!

i have so many feelings about acls last week!! omg but super thankful that it turned out a zillion times more bearable than i thought it would be...!!
