“Papa, Papa, are we there yet?” Ella asked excitedly.

“Not yet darling” Ernie said affectionately to his daughter. “We will be there in just under an hour.”

The two of them (plus the imperial staff of course) were on a train to Skierniewice Poland to finish off their autumn holiday with their Romanov cousins.

Before they left Wolfsgarten, little Elisabeth was begging her Uncle Nicky to let his daughters ride in her train, but Nicky held a firm no.

Not a second went by without Ella asking if they were there yet.

“Why didn’t Uncle Nicky and Aunt Alix let Olga and Tatiana ride with us?” Ella asked her father. 

“Because they didn’t want the staff’s ears to blow off hearing three little girlies talk talk talk away.” Ernie said sarcastically.

“But father, I’m sure we wouldn’t be that loud!” The little eight year old still didn’t understand her father’s silly jokes.

“Come here Ella.” The two embraced in a tight hug.

“I’m sure next time, when you’re a little bit older, your uncle will let you three ride together.” 

If there would even be a next time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Look Papa I see Olga!” Ella screamed.

Their train was just coming to a halt at the train station. Nicky and Alix got there before Ella and Ernie so they were already on the platform.

Ella ran to the door from her spot at the window and was trying so hard to open the locked door. 

She was desperate to see her cousins.

“That door is locked Princess” one of the footman said to her.

“Why would they keep it locked if my cousins are out there and I am in here?” Ella asked.

The footman chuckled.

“Well we wouldn’t want you falling out would we.” He managed to get a little smile out of the Princess.

Ernie walked over to the two along with Ella’s nanny Miss Wilson.

“Ella I’m sure if you asked nicely then he would kindly open the door for you” Miss. W said with a smile.

Ella gave her nanny a funny look, and then gave the same look to her amused father.

“Mr. Footman would you please open the door for me so I could see my cousins?” Ella asked.

“Of course Princess.” The footman said with an smile.

He unlocked the door gently and let the little one through.

“OLGA TATIANA!” Ella yelled happily as she scampered off of the train.

“She really is what people call her, ‘Princess Sunshine.’ The footman said kindly to Ernie.

“Yes she really is.”

Ernie and Miss. W stepped off of the train to go reel in the little Princess who was already smothering her cousins with hugs

“ELLA!!” Olga and Tatiana yelled as they ran to see their cousin.

The three girls hugged each other like they never hugged before, even when just days ago they were playing in Ella’s playhouse together.

“Olya make woom fow me” little Maria said as she smushed into the hug.

“Ernie, our girls are practically like sisters!” Nicky exclaimed as he walked over to him. 

“Nicky don’t give them any ideas” Alix laughed. “Ernie, I hope your train was well.”

“Oh Alix it was splendid!” The two hugged.

When the little children stopped hugging, Ella asked “where is my Tiny Cousin?”

Ella noticed that her Auntie Alix wasn’t holding little Anastasia so she was worried. In Ella’s eyes, their little group wasn’t complete without little Anastasie. 

“Ella come, she is with Miss Eagar” Tatiana said as she led Ella to where they were sitting. 

“Tiny Cousin!” Ella exclaimed happily!

Miss Eagar let the little two year old run to her cousin.

“Ewwa!” Little Anastasia said as she ran to her cousin.

Tatiana motioned Olga and Maria to come over, and before anyone knew it, the girls were back to their usual talk about castles and fairies.

~~~~~~~~~~

The little girlies and their nannies rode in a carriage to Skierniewice while Ernie Nicky and Alix rode in a seperate one.

The girls couldn’t stop talking to each other, as always.

“Ella we prepared a nice little room for you next to ours” Olga stated. “We put nice little things in there for you”

“I put in a dolly!” Maria said proudly.

“Mama hung up some of the drawings we did in Wolfsgarten too!” Tatiana shouted.

“I brought some things for you guys too!” Ella said gleefully.

Ella was thinking about her little box full of treasures that she brought for Tatiana. They were going to have so much fun with it!

Little Anastasia was struggling to keep up with the other girls obsessive chatter.

“ELLA….” She yelled and everyone paused to hear her

“I….I..I love pwaying togever.” The little one said with a smirk.

“Oh Tiny Cousin” Ella got up from her seat with the older girls and joined Anastasia. “There will be plenty of time for us to play together.”

Ella hugged the little one.

“Maybe even at night time.” Ella whispered sneakily which made Anastasia laugh.

Miss. W managed to hear the little whisper and gave Ella one of those looks that immediately made her shut up.

“We aren’t going to do anything naughty Miss. W, right guys?”

Olga and Tatiana looked confused but nodded silently.

“But Ella, Papa said that it was okay to be naughty sometimes!” Maria shouted.

Olga elbowed her little sister in the ribs.

That was when Miss. Eagar intervened.

“Oh Maria don’t you worry, you can always be silly but not naughty. Bad things happen when we are naughty.”

“Okay” Maria said solemnly.

“But we are allowed to have fun right?” Tatiana asked?

“Of course my darling.” Miss Eagar said. “Have as much fun as you want.”

The girls all looked at each other and laughed hysterically for absolutely no reason at all, just to have fun.

Poor Cousin Ella (CHAPTER 3)

Summary: Fan Fiction about the last weeks of Princess Elisabeth of Hesse.

Characters: Princess Elisabeth of Hesse, Grand duke Ernst Louis of Hesse, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia, Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia, Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia, Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia, Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, Lilian Wilson (Elisabeth’s nanny), Margaretta Eagar (OTMA’s nanny)

The little girls ran through the doors and into the front hallway. Little Maria quickly stopped when the saw the big glass chandelier hanging from the ceiling. She was amazed at how shiny and big it was. 

As Maria was distracted, Ella, Olga, and Tatiana were already racing up the grand staircase, with Anastasia was struggling to keep up. 

“Marie baby, why don’t you go join your sisters” Miss Eagar gently whispered into her ear. She quickly snapped out of her hazy state and quickly caught up to the others.

“Olga, Tatya, Ewwa, wait fow me!” Maria said as she ran up the staircase.

The older girls were already at the top of the staircase and they were motioning for the little ones to hurry up.

Maria stopped where Anastasia was and gently took her hand and helped her to the top. “Baby darling, hold my hand.” She said.

The girls were about to head off when Miss Wilson stopped them. “Girls, don’t go too far ahead of us! We don’t want you getting lost.”

“Oh Miss W! If you think we are going too fast then you should just hurry up!” Ella said as Tatiana snickered at the funny comment.

“Ella, listen to Miss W.” Ernie said while holding in a laugh. He loved his daughter but sometimes she needed to be reprimanded. 

“Miss Eagar, Miss Wilson, why don’t you two get settled in your rooms, we can handle the children for a few hours.” Ernie affirmed to the two nannies. 

“Are you sure you can handle these five goofballs?” Miss Wilson whispered to the Grand Duke. Meanwhile, the girls found a mirror in the long upstairs hallway and were practicing their curtsies in it.

“Oh believe me, I might be a Grand Duke but I am also one of the biggest goofballs around here. I know all of their tricks.” Ernie smiled.

“Who wants a piggyback ride?” Ernie asked the little girls who started jumping for joy and shouting “ME!”

The girls were shrieking with delight as Ernie pretended to be a bird, balancing each one of them on his back as he whooshed down the hallway. Nicky and Alix were just coming up the stairs when they saw the joyful chaos unfolding.

“Ernie really is the best uncle to our girls.” Nicky said to Alix.

“What about Misha? The girls love him.” Alix responded. Misha was Nicky’s younger brother and the girls also loved him very much as Alix said. 

“But the bond is not the same with him as it is with Ernie.” Nicky said as he observed his girls with their uncle and cousin.

“It’s because of Ella” Nicky continued. “She is the glue that holds us all together. She is the sunshine that eliminates the gray clouds. I don’t know what life would be without her…”

You would know soon Nicky��

The two smiled at each other for a minute. They both knew this was true.

“Mama, Mama,” Tatiana called. “Where are our rooms?” 

The little girls were starting to get curious in their surroundings as  they were getting less and less interested in Ernie’s endless piggyback rides.

“Here darling,” Alix said while taking Tatiana’s hand. “I’ll show you.” 

                                                           ~

“I’m a fairy princess!” Olga sang as she ran around the room with a blanket acting as her “fairy gown”.

“Well if you’re a fairy princess then I am a fairy prince!” Ella shouted as she jumped on Olga’s bed.

The girls had two separate rooms that were a few doors down from each other in this particular suite. Olga and Tatiana shared a room that was right next to Maria and Anastasia’s room, which therefore was two doors down from Ella’s room.

The girls had begged repeatedly that they wanted to share a room with each other, but the adults could not be broken in their decision. After all, if the girls were together in one room, they would be keeping everyone awake at night with their endless playing and squeals of delight!

Ella was very disappointed at not sharing a room with her favorite cousins so as soon as she realized that the girls were two doors down, she raced to Olga and Tatiana’s room and started playing.

“But I don’t understand!” Ella complained to the girls. “I begged Papa to let us share a room and I thought that all of my begging worked but it didn’t!”

Ella slumped down on one of the beds and pouted. “Was I not cute enough?”

“Oh Ella,” Olga said as she sat next to Ella and put her arm around the little Princess. “Of course you are cute! I think that your Papa and my Mama just don’t understand what it’s like to be a kid anymore.” 

Olga brushed a tear from Ella’s soft cheek as Tatiana sat next to the two.

“But Ella, we can always have sleepovers!” Tatiana suggested which made the young one perk up a bit.

“Oh yes Tatiana! What a smart idea!” Ella squealed as she gave her cousin a fierce hug! “I guess I was too distracted at my Papa’s lack of childhood knowledge.”

The girls were interrupted by two little bursts of lightning coming in from the adjoining room.

“OLGA EWWA TATYA WET’S PWAY!” The two littlest Grand Duchesses said in unison as they jumped onto the bed!

“I dibs being the fairy princess!” Olga said as she jumped off of the bed and grabbed a blanket off of the second bed in the room. She very meticulously wrapped it around her hair and declared that it was her “fairy gown”.

“Well girls, don’t I look absolutely stunning?” Olga asked rhetorically to the smiling girls who were already starting to get on their own fairy costumes.

In the other adjoining rooms in the suite, the adults were starting to unpack their luggage, giving their faithful servants a break from their tireless efforts.

“I never thought that our girls would be this happy in a remote, dreary place in Poland.” Nicky stated to Alix who was folding various blankets. “It’s quite a wonder how little Ella can change their attitudes, I have barely heard any bickering this whole trip.”

“It really is a wonder, Nicky…” Alix said as Ernie entered the room.

“It’s almost dinner time, should I check in with the chefs to see if they can whip something up real quick?”

“Ah yes! Ernie that would be a blessing, thank you!” Alix went over to hug her brother at the edge of the door.”

Nicky smiled at the sweet moment from across the room. 

“I’M GOING TO TURN YOU INTO A FROG YOU NASTY LITTLE HUMAN!!!” The adults heard from across the hall.

“Are conversations sound so boring compared to the little girlies’” Ernie stated happily. “If only they could hear out conversations when we were young.”

“Ah the good old days!” Alix hugged Ernie tight. Their childhood wasn’t exactly easy, but at least they had each other.

                                                      ~

“Maria eat slower darling.” Alix said to her third daughter as she was scarfing down her meager meal of chicken broth and bread.

“But Mama I’m hungwy!” Maria whined.” 

“Mashka, darling we have all the time in the world, honey!” Alix wiped Maria’s messy cheeks and slowly spooned the hot broth into her mouth.”

“Mama feed ME!” Anastasia said joyfully! She loved when her mama fed her like she was still a baby.

“Oh Nastya! I’m all the way across from you! Let Nana feed you darling.” The two littlest girlies sometimes called Miss Eagar Nana because she was their nanny of course! 

Alix was indeed all the way across the table. At the two head of the long rectangular table were Nicky and Ernie at each adjoining sides. Ella sat next to her father and Tatiana sat next to Ella which infuriated Olga A LOT. During the next couple of days Ella sat in the  middle of the two eldest Grand Duchesses which cooled the impending arguments each night.

Today however Olga sat next to her beloved Papa which left her distracted from her ongoing obsession with sitting next to her favorite cousin. Maria sat next to Olga and Alix sat next to Maria. 

Sitting on Nicky’s right were little Anastasia and Miss Eagar, and Miss Wilson sat on Ernie’s right, next to Alix.

The table was very lively with constant conversation and giggles from the little girlies. Sometimes you could hear the occasional whining or crying from an upset child, but that didn’t happen often because this whole family was just simply happy.

“Auntie Alix?” Ella asked her aunt, halfway through chewing the rest of her bread.

“Yes Ella?” 

“Are you absolutely sure that you need ALL of your daughters?” I would be more than happy to take one, or two…”

That comment gave the table a little laugh. Everybody knew that Ella yearned for a sibling, especially a sister. Many times before she offered to take her younger cousins Anastasia and Maria but her Auntie and Uncle firmly stood their ground. 

The rest of dinner was filled with joyful laughs and happy smiles, little did the family know, but this would be one of their last dinners with poor cousin Ella…

Imagine your favorite historical figure reading modern fanfiction about him/herself.

[leavethemtorot]

and you'd say you love me and look in my eyes (but i know through mine you were looking in yours)

Heehee, I wrote this entirely at work

Prince Chad Charming seemed to have it all. He was rich, heir to one of the richest and most powerful kingdoms in Auradon. He was handsome, the public falling over themselves to be in his company. He was on top of the world.

Then he was dead.

It was a tragedy. The crown prince of Sardinia dead at age 21. One couldn't look anywhere without seeing the news.

Prince Charming Drowned in a Tragic Accident

Crown Prince Dead at 21

Tragedy in Sardinia, Prince Chad Dead

Chad Charming Passed, Tragic Fall or Drunken Accident?

Floozy Prince Drowned in Pool

The funeral was massive, as expected of a crown prince. The guest list stacked with royals doing their due diligence and the well to do showing face for the sake of doing so.

Well wishes fell flat on the family. On poor little nine year old Chole who hadn't spoken a word since the accident. On Queen Ella and King Christopher who hadn't seen their son in two and four years respectively.

There were many who mourned him. Mourn the boy he once was. The king he would never be. Few mourned who he had actually been when he died, just memories of years past and the ideas of what he might have been. Those who did mourn him as he was mourned the dutiful and doting older brother, the cousin who had extended an olive branch and let all interactions happen at their pace not his, the prince who had pushed some of the most social reforms in all of the kingdoms in Auradon.

Those memories were few and far between. The public quick to forget his good and focus on his many scandals. Soon his good deeds would all be forgotten and all he would be known as was the floozy prince who died young.

And the wounds that had been inflicted upon him once upon a time would turn and fester in others. In a king, whose last words to him were of malice and distrust, severing a decade old friendship for once and for all. In a princess, who had taken advantage of him over and over again before finally asking him to leave her alone. In a childhood friend, who had rebuked all his attempts at reconciliation.

The truth of Prince Chadwick James will die with him. Knowledge of his anxiety and self-loathing will die with him. Knowledge of the many scrapped apologies in his notes app will die with him. Knowledge of just how much he loved those who hurt him will die with him. Knowledge of just how much he regretted everything will die with him.

Prince Chadwick Geoffrey Theodore Nikolai Denzil Anastasius William François Reginald Leopold Hamnet James had what the world wanted.

Then he was dead.

[the-last-tsar]

"As she grew into a teenager, the best that the beautiful but poor Princess Alix of Hesse could have hoped for to relieve her from the unchallenging tedium of Darmstadt provincialism was marriage to a minor European princeling. But everything changed when on her first visit to Russia in 1884 (for the marriage of her sister Ella to Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich), Alix's third cousin, Nicholas Alexandrovich, heir to the Russian throne, had taken a shine to her. He was sixteen and she was only twelve, but thereafter Nicky, as she would always call him, remained besotted. Five years later, when Grand Duke Louis took Alix back to Russia on a six-week visit, Nicky was still stubbornly determined to win her as his wife. The shy schoolgirl had become a slender, ethereally beautiful young woman and Nicky was deeply in love. But by now — 1889 — Alix had been confirmed in the Lutheran faith prior to coming out, and she made clear to Nicky that despite her deep feelings for him, marriage was out of the question. Virtue prevailed. She could not and would not change her religion, but she did agree to write to him in secret, their letters being sent via Ella as intermediary. The royal marriage stakes at that time were unforgiving to girls who did not grasp a golden opportunity when it presented itself; as one contemporary newspaper observed, 'Love in royal circles is not an epidemic affection'." It seemed that Alix's inflexibility was going to deprive her of the one thing so many of her young royal contemporaries craved — a marriage based on love and not expediency. To a forlorn Nicky there seemed an insurmountable gulf between them and he allowed himself to be temporarily distracted by other pretty faces. For her own part, Alix was enjoying a degree of status back home, as a big fish in the very small Hesse pond."

a/n: just some short and fluffy filler. i think we could all use a little bit of fluff right now. everything just feels so heavy at the moment. it's hard to go about my day to day when i know that there are so many people that don't have access to food and water and medication. surgeries happening without anesthesia. and the western world watches. anyway, i hope this gives someone a little reprieve and i hope you guys are staying safe <3.

sim had never considered herself to be an outgoing person. she didn't like noisy environments, flashy lights, or crowded spaces. they made her skin crawl.

which is why she was currently sat down on an uncomfortable plastic chair, wondering why she had ever let ella, alessia, and lotte convince her that she would have a grand time going out to a club with them.

but sim had never been good at saying no, so when the three begged her to come out and make the most of manchester united's road trip to north london, when she saw the pleading look on alessia's face, she had caved. a decision she was now deeply regretting.

sim could feel the thumping bass in her heart. she tried closing her eyes to at least block out one source of stimulation but she could see the lights through the skin of her eyelids.

"sim, come dance, you've been sitting here looking sad all night!"

sim's eyes shot open, falling on ella's poor attempt at puppy dog eyes. sim pressed her lips together in a tight line, her knuckles turning white were they gripped her cane. she could feel a headache creeping in behind her eyes.

"no, thanks, ella. i don't dance." sim was really getting restless now. the feeling of the tags on the shirt she had thrown on almost hurt in a way she couldn't explain.

"oh, come on, don't be a bore. i bet if alessia asked you would join us," lotte snorted from ella's side.

"no, i really don't-"

"just drop it, girls," a familiar soft voice spoke up.

sim turned to see alessia join the group, two glasses of water in hand. she let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. she always felt more relaxed around alessia. alessia made sim feel safe.

"come on, less," ella whined. "she won't drink and now she won't dance? we've got to get the kid to live a little!"

sim stiffened. it was true that she refused to drink alcohol. growing up, she'd witnessed the havoc that alcoholism could wreak. she was grateful that her father hadn't been a violent drunk, or even an angry drunk, but she'd seen enough from her cousins, aunts, and uncles to know what that could look like. knowing that alcoholism ran in both sides of her family, she was not willing to take any chances.

of course, sim hadn't mentioned any of this to ella. tooney just thought she was stiff and no fun. sim was completely fine with that.

"alright, tooney, it's time to let it go. you're gonna scare the poor girl away!" lotte chimed in, sensing that maybe this was a bit deeper than she initially thought.

sim relaxed a little, thankful for the relief in the tension she was starting to feel.

"oh, fine, lotte, let's go dance. less, you coming?" ella relented.

"nah," the taller blonde replied. "just gonna chill out for a bit. i'll join you later," she added, placing a hand gently on sim's back.

sim relaxed further, leaning into the warm touch, letting the weight ground her.

"you want to get out of here?"

"no, i'm alright. i might call myself an uber later, but really, i'm okay." the last thing sim wanted to do was make alessia go home when she knew how much alessia had missed ella.

alessia turned sim towards the door, her hand staying in its place on the girl's back, a gentle guide as she walked sim out.

"it's alright, love. you seem off, and i'm starting to get a headache. let's go."

sim's cheeks warmed at the pet name. she and alessia had been dancing around the unspoken feelings between them for months, both of them waiting for the other to broach the topic.

sim had endured endless teasing from millie and rachel during national team camps, and beth made sure to fill the time in between.

unbeknownst to sim, alessia had received the same treatment from ella. at first, the rest of the lionesses had found it amusing how obvious their feelings were to everyone but themselves. as time moved on, it had almost become annoying. they'd hoped the teasing would force one of you into making a move.

so far, no luck.

-----

"so, you want to tell me what had you so shaken up?"

sim and alessia were settled on the coach in alessia's living room, an episode of brooklyn nine-nine playing softly on the television.

"it's stupid," sim muttered under her breath.

"well, how about you tell me and i'll decide if it's stupid," the blonde replied, offering sim her hand when she noticed sim picking at her skin.

sim sighed, starting to play with alessia's fingers. "it's just-" sim stuttered, hesitant.

"go on," alessia prodded gently.

"i have... issues? with sensory overload. and the loud music with all the voices and the flashing lights is a lot. and it was just so crowded and everyone was bumping into me. there was someone beside me with the scratchiest crop top and people were stepping on my feet and- now i'm rambling. just- sometimes there's just so much of everything that it hurts. god, that doesn't even make sense. i know it's stupid and i can't just expect for the world to cater to my needs-"

"hey," alessia interrupted. "stop calling yourself stupid."

sim withdrew her hand from alessia's, looking everywhere but alessia's face.

alessia reached out to pull sim into a hug but hesitated, letting her hand hover just over sim's shoulder. she didn't want to add to whatever sim was feeling.

"can i hold you?" alessia asked, trying to keep her voice as low as possible.

"please," sim whispered.

sim relaxed into alessia's body, letting the warmth and pressure of alessia's arms ground her.

"it's not stupid, love. i'm glad you told me, but i'm sorry if we made you feel like you had to come out with us," alessia murmured into sim's hair.

"it's not your fault that i'm too scared to say no," sim grumbled bitterly. really, sim would prefer to shift the topic away from her inadequacies, but she had a feeling alessia wasn't going to let this one go.

"sim, i'm going to ask you to be a bit nicer to yourself. maybe your boundaries haven't been respected in the past, but i want you to know that that won't happen here. i want you to feel safe in saying no. we can practice setting boundaries, yeah? we're all wired a bit differently. it's okay if you experience sensory overload more than others. if you want to stay in next time, then i'll stay in with you."

sim turned slightly, tucking her face into alessia's chest, the older girl's fingers coming up to rub gentle shapes on the back of her neck.

sim knew she was screwed. alessia was just too perfect. she made her feel okay.

actually, alessia made sim feel more than okay. she made sim feel content, more than she'd ever felt before. she made sim feel like more than just the sum of her past.

for years, sim had felt like she was just wandering aimlessly through the world. frankly, sim found it pathetic how alessia showing her even the most basic level of respect had her feeling like maybe she could belong somewhere.

sim lifted her head from where it was resting on alessia's chest, her brown eyes meeting alessia's blue.

"i always feel safe with you, less," she whispered.

warmth flooded alessia's cheeks as she smiled softly down at sim.

sim found herself frozen, unable to utter a single word.

"can i kiss you?" alessia breathed, trying and failing to keep her voice from wavering and betraying her nerves.

sim didn't trust her own voice so she nodded, not quite believing that smart, intelligent alessia wanted to kiss her.

alessia's free hand came to rest tenderly on sim's cheek, thumb making sweeping motions across the soft skin as she examined sim's face for any sign of hesitation. not finding any, she tilted sim's face up before leaning in to place a gentle kiss to her lips.

it was short and sweet, but conveyed so much emotion and sim tried her best to match what alessia was making her feel.

alessia pulled away after a few seconds, watching in awe as sim's eyes fluttered back open, a smile taking over the younger girl's face.

sim's face flushed at the look of pure adoration on alessia's face. she tucked her face back into alessia's sweater.

"are you getting shy on me?" alessia giggled, placing a soft kiss on the top of sim's head.

sim nodded.

"was that okay?" alessia's voice revealed a hint of insecurity, causing sim to remove her head from its resting place to look up at her.

"it was perfect."

alessia's face broke into a wide grin, arms squeezing sim closer.

"be my girlfriend? i mean, i know usually i'm supposed to ask you on a date first, and of course i want to do that, but i just think because we already know each other so-"

"you want me to be your girlfriend?" sim lifted herself out of alessia's embrace, an incredulous look taking over her face.

"unless you don't want to!" alessia scrambled, eyes wide with sudden panic.

"no, i do, of course i want to be your girlfriend but..." sim trailed off, hand coming up to scratch behind her ear before alessia took it between her own, pressing a kiss to sim's knuckles.

"hey, i told you i want you to feel safe with me. we can take this as slow as you want. can i ask why you're hesitating?"

sim sighed. how had she lucked out like this? alessia was so perfect. but that's where her hesitance stemmed from.

"less, you could do so much better. i- i have a lot of baggage, y'know? and i've never done anything like this before." sim gestured between the two of them as if to emphasize what this was. "i've never been in a relationship before. hell, i've never even kissed anyone before this."

sim was starting to work herself up. the feelings of contentment she had experienced just moments before had disappeared, giving way to exasperation.

who was she kidding? alessia was way out of sim's league.

"can you look at me, sim?"

startled by the unusual use of her name in place of a pet name, sim's eyes shot back to meet alessia's.

"i want you. i am choosing you as you are. baggage or not, inexperienced or not, doesn't matter to me. i want you, exactly the way you are. i wouldn't change a thing."

alessia topped off her statement with a gentle kiss to sim's hairline.

"so, be my girlfriend?"

a dopey smile took over sim's expression.

"of course."

a/n: anyone catch the high school musical and camp rock references?

[hannahhook7744]

Chad Charming Headcanons revised;

Chad's full birth name that is on his birth certificate is 'Chadwick Robert Charming'.

Chad's birthday is July 4th.

He's 8 years older than his little sister, Chloe.

His mom's actual name is Ella but most people know her as Cinderella and his dad's name is Kit.

His Paternal grandparents' names are Robert and Cordelia and his Maternal grandparents' names are Marcus and Camilla.

He was adopted by his parents when he was little.

His grandfather gifted him a small crown when he was first brought home and Chad really looked up to him growing up.

He has naturally curly hair and uses hair gel, hair spray, and a hair straightener because he’s really insecure about his looks.

This is because he doesn’t look like his parents at all.

He use to be a really sweet kid but due to a few losses in the family, his sister’s poor health, his friends and him drifting apart, and a lack of attention for his parents (atop of school faculty letting him get away with nearly everything because they felt bad for him) he started to become the boy we saw on screen.

After his grandfather died, Chad started to resent his younger sister but hide it. He still loves her but finds it hard to be around her due to the difference in the amount of love and attention their parents give her and him.

Chad also really resents his friends (Jane, Ben, Doug, Lonnie, and Audrey)— minus Audrey— for how they all seemed to forget about him in middle school.

This is what causes him to act out against everyone– he’s desperate for attention. Good or bad.

He started to steal, lie, cheat, swear, and more. He got into more fights and started coming home less and less— spending more time at Fg's house and the baker's than his own.

He would also spend time with his aunt Snow White and uncle Florian and his friends' families to avoid going home.

He stopped doing this when they started commenting on it because he felt unwelcomed and didn’t want to cause trouble for his parents, who were doing the best they could given the situation they were in.

Said situation being his sister’s poor health, his many learning disabilities, his poor social skills, the many deaths in their family/inner circle, the responsibility of running a kingdom, and the responsibility of trying to get The Tremaine Family and Kit’s twin brother, James, off the isle. 

When he started to go Auardon Prep, Chad started staying there instead of over at his aunt and uncles’ (The Baker, Snow, Florian, and and FG) places because he didn’t want to be a burden on them and didn’t want to go home only to be mostly forgotten.

He met Doug through Jane because Doug is her cousin.

He also met Lonnie through Jane.

Ben and Audrey, on the other hand, he had known since they were babies.

Chad is not neurotypical.

He's younger than Ben and Lonnie but older than Audrey, Doug, and Jane. Though not by much.

Chad used to be the protector (Jay) of the ak group alongside Lonnie.

He's allergic to honey and feathers.

He used to go to the beach, the circus,  amusement parks, and playgrounds with his grandpa and Chloe.

He used to enjoy bird watching with them too.

He still tries to get feathers on his clothes even though it causes him to break out horribly. Evie was informed of this by Doug, which is one of the reasons why she refused to make him a feathery cape.

He stopped trying to eat honey after he turned 12.

He cried a lot as a child. Alot.

He was a very needy child for obvious reasons.

Chad’s parents spoil him to make up for the lack of attention they are able to give him, which he just sees as them trying to pay to get rid of him.

Chad helped his frantic parents look for Chloe after she ran off after the Maleficent incident in d1 Chad stopped letting his sister play with his friends and pets after he realized just how much more attention than him she got.

Chad is a slow learner.

Chad is claustrophobic, scared of Lady Tremaine, and terrified of losing his friends/ending up alone.

He and Chloe used to ride their bikes around the castle halls a lot. Mainly with Jane.

He tried to help Jane learn how to fly when she was younger before she started hiding her wings.

Council meetings bore the hell out of him.

Chad has a horse, 3 mice, a dog, and a cat— all descended from his parents' pets— and never lets anyone touch them in fear they'll hurt them or take them away.

He also secretly fears that his pets will leave him like previous friends of his once they find someone better.

He is only creeped out by mice that aren’t his because he’s afraid they’ll tattle on him to his mom.

He can be a bit obsessive and lazy sometimes.

Chad has trouble picking up on social cues.

Chad's pet mice are named 'Dagger, Starlight, and Cobalt'.

His cat is named 'Diamond'.

His dog is named 'swiggles'

And His horse is named 'colonel' .

His hobbies include but are not limited to: Fencing, sword-fighting, modeling, playing dress up, playing sports of any kind, playing games, singing, dancing, stargazing, playing video games, playing with animals, collecting action figures, watching cartoons, reading comics, fighting, exploring, swimming, and horseback riding.

He talks to his pets even though he doesn't always understand what they are saying.

He's really jealous of the vks because they get away with a lot of stuff that Coach Jenkins would never let him get away with, they get a lot of attention from people, and they always seem so confident.

He has had the hugest crush on Audrey since he was little but it was always one sided.

It crushed him when he realized that Audrey and him were only together so they could make Ben jealous. He became extremely jealous of Ben when he realized it and started acting like he didn't care about him.

He hates what he's become and wants to change but isn't sure if he can anymore. Or if it will be worth it, anymore.

He flinches away from Audrey for months after d3. He still does sometimes.

He wants to be a professional model or  Trophy Husband or varsity tourney player/swords and shield player. Mainly because he doesn't think he's smart enough to do anything else.

He still has his old baby blanket and his stuffed horse—which he hides away underneath his bed.

His favorite food is toast, pudding, and prunes. He also enjoys pizza.

His favorite drink is hot chocolate with cinnamon.

He was afraid of the dark until he was 7.

He wet the bed until he was 8.

His favorite colors are blue, yellow, white, and gold.

Chad loves going to the gym and he loves mirrors.

He freaks out whenever he gets messy as he gets older because he wants people to care about him.

His favorite song is 'Jock Star' by Hercules' muscles.

He can't stand the song 'He's a guy' by The Underworldians. It reminds him too much of himself.

He can't look at himself in the mirror sometimes without wanting to scream.

Sometimes, when he's alone, he screams to let all the anger and hate and pain out.

He joined forces with Audrey in descendants 3 for three reasons; she was the only one who really talked to him anymore, he was in love with her, and so everyone at the party could get away and warn everyone.

He can tell when something is wrong with his friends, thank you very much. And just like when Ben was spelled, there was something wrong with Audrey.

No one listened to him either times.

You can guess how annoyed he was by that.

He was missing for days after d3. Too freaked out and out of it to find his way home.

His uncle, The Baker, was the one who found him.

He was out of it for a few days after that too. When he came out of it, he met his Aunt Anastasia and four cousins (from her) for the first time. He didn't have much to say but she understood.

Chad loves his pets and friends more than anything. Even if it doesn't always seem that way.

One day, when he was little, his horse got loose and was missing for days.

He didn't stop crying until it was found. Yes, he got sick several times.

Fg decided to make sure that something like this would never happen again by... blessing Chad so that his pets would always be able to find him and get to him, no matter where he was.

Chad promised to never tell anyone and it's one of the few promises he's been able to keep over the years.

He named his stuffed horse 'Governor' and his stuffed bird 'Consort'.

He also had/has a doll that kinda looks like him that he named 'Little Chad'.

He had two imaginary friends that he called his other mother and his other father. He let go of them when he was 10.

His favorite social media is InstaRoyal.

His favorite treat that his uncle—the baker—makes him alot is Banana bread.

He develops a crush on Gil not long after d3.

He starts going to therapy after d3 and takes a break from his old friends—yes even Audrey—so he could work on himself.

He gets along surprisingly well with a lot of his step cousins. Anthony especially.

pll rewatch 1x05 - 1x06

first liars sleepover! along with their convenient morning clothes despite the sleepover being impromptu

Emily and Spencer reassuring Aria it is absolutely not her fault that Byron is a cheating dickhead is sweet, and this is the first time we get Hanna and Aria being close, with the bonding over shaky marriages.

Of course Emily tells Aria that Byron and Ella will work it out and be fine. Whatever other faults Emily's parents may have, they have a rock-solid marriage, the good kind.

Hanna is scared of children and desires confirmation that six year olds don't bite <3 Look at the cat faces on the supposedly hideous uniform (and a liar yet again being so weird in public about the blind girl)

Spencer is such a Well Done Son Guy to her dad in 1x05, she's even eager to play catch with him (okay, volley a tennis ball.) God, I love how naive Spencer is about her family. She always wants to believe in them, and in the possibility of their forgiveness.

Emily has a bartender cousin who snuck her into a concert once. This is relevant to nothing but is a fun fact. Her and Toby bond over their indie music tastes

Best A message: "Lions and tigers and bitches oh my, there's no place like homecoming"

Close runner-up is "Hanna got dissed and Emily got kissed!" as a lead-up to A sending Hanna photos of Emily/Maya kissing.

Spencer keeping the jungle red lipstick in a ziplock baggie is so important to me.

Aw, Toby looks like such a kicked puppy when Emily doesn't acknowledge him at the Grille. I really do have a soft spot for S1!Toby, he can't help that he's got a creepy affect. And then he gets shoved into glassware at the end of this episode while trying to disclose something very difficult! Poor guy.

Aria making Mike watch a black-and-white film with her even while they're stressed about their parents is such an older sibling move, I must respect this.

Going from Peter Hastings being terrible to Ella and Byron having a yelling match in the living room to Ashley Marin talking to Hanna about Sean and Hanna's dad....Ashley Marin is best PLL parent to me <3

These girls really are their parent's kids, personality-wise, for better or worse

Hanna is So! Supportive! Of! Emily being gay! while leaking nothing. It is very cute. Hanna is in a one woman #ally competition and she is winning.

Though, really, it's interesting seeing how...tentative Hannily are in their friendship this early, knowing how their friendship progresses.

Okay, Hanna is tentative about nothing, but you know what I mean.

The other three liars barge in on Aria's mopefest - I wonder if Aria finds it hard to believe they really did drift apart the previous year, given how quickly they snap together for this non-A issue.

Oh Spencer, leaving in the middle of a slow-dance because she suddenly has an A theory, and then obsessively staring at Emily because she's terrified for her.

Love that we first see this with Emily. Won't be the last time.

The homecoming has a whole-ass boyband??? I had no memory of them

As an excuse for ditching the carnival stall, Aria goes, "oh you know, my claustrophobia got to me". .....RIP to Aria in a few seasons, that's rough buddy.

Spencer takes a day to realize the significance of Toby's tattoo; Emily sees 901 and immediately connects it to Ali's disappearance and death. Aria did just text her about Ali's killer, but I like to think that Emily would've made that inference regardless.

Stupendous A tag. Spray-painting over the population sign to decrement it by one? No notes.

[an-ivy-covered-summer]

dude i know i'm preaching to the choir here but you're so right. obviously if they were the best books ever written it still wouldn't excuse bigotry but the biggest goop of all of the harry potter defenders in this day and age is that the books aren't even fucking good. and i was *the* target audience at the time, i was twelve when the first one came out and grew with the series as it was released, i harry potter roleplayed online for so many years in my teens. but reading back as an adult, they are so poorly written.

and it's not even like well you're an adult and they were written for the youths because i've read ella enchanted about a hundred times and it still holds up.

also like... keep reading your books if you want? no one is stopping you? just STOP GIVING HER MONEY FOR NEW THINGS OH MY GOd.

[i'm sorry to potentially bring hate down on you you don't have to respond publicly i just saw your tags and was like yes all of that]

YES, EXACTLY!!!!!

i was the target as well, and it was a huuuuge part of my personality for a long time (to the point that i’ve had to make clear statements nowadays that i haven’t been a fan for a while so i don’t get a present related to it from people who don’t really know anything about her or something bc the whole thing just feels super icky to me) but come on, it only takes reading, like, any one other middle school saga to realize how poorly written they are, how often she backtracks, how uninspired is the worldbuilding, how poor is the character development, how shallow is the plot!

and like you said, this doesn’t come from a place of “i’m an adult who only reads serious adult literature” AT ALL. i read the percy jackson books in my twenties!!!! and i’m always a sucker for any cool saga having kids and teenagers come together to save the world with their wit and friendship!!!!! but harry potter is just not it, so it sucks even more that some people are so staunch on defending it when it’s not even a good work!!!!!! it’s mid at best!!!!!!! my little cousin was so unimpressed by it when he was like 8 that he didn’t even finish it, AND HE HAD ALREADY READ AROUND 30 BOOKS BY THEN!!!!

and nostalgia is not worth compromising the life of trans people!!!!!!!!!

so, yeah, we’re preaching to the choir, but a good rant is always necessary when the subject shows up. again.

and lastly, my dear reny, don’t worry about me. i’m openly a swiftie, cubs, braves AND dodgers fan. i thrive on potential hate [insert :emoji_1: here]

[ohheyitslitz]

Some hilarious screenies I got during their Winterfest celebration with family over.

Ella was just trying to read and out of nowhere her dad and uncle just had the AUDACITY to pop in to eat and drink tea, like excuse me?!

Cassandra yelled at cousin Elisabeth and poor Ella was in between and is VISIBLY uncomfy.

Kaci HATED her gift ._.

in short, no more family gatherings

Thor: Record of Ragnarok

Chapter 8

And now, very special words from two great heroes

-well, dear reader, you might be wondering : why haven't I seen her incredible cousin beat up some dumb god ?- a beautiful, big and green skinned woman spoke - oh common on honey, flattery isn't going to save you of this...but thank you, anyways !

-es una respuesta sencilla, pero pasa que escribir es difícil, y la vida es una pe - an incredibly amazing mercenary tried to say, but hey, we also need to put the story in a site that doesn't allow a lot of cursing- ay ya ! Dire lo que se me pegue la regalada gana !-

-Wade, why are you speaking Spanish ?- She-Hulk, aka Jennifer Walters, questioned, as it would be harder for most readers to understand this chapter - dear, I think they figured out who am I already - which was...true

—mis diálogos son más graciosos en español: que no viste todas las plantillas para momazos que tengo ?Hoy seré Piscina de la Muerte, no Deadpool- Wade answered, tho it could be better if he didn't use that word - ay ya cállate, sabes que el fandom latino tiene muchos chistes buenos como para hacerme decir cosas en inglés...además con mi sexy voz de Pepe Toño, necesitas que no tenga la voz del papasote de Ryan Reynolds - he said in a quite long sentence

—anyways !- the Green haired woman interrupted - it's ironic that you write like the Greeks, considering what you did to poor Apolo, but I'll let it pass: we need to give a special announcement - as if that wasn't specified already

-ya ya, deja que nos encarguemos : la bruja baratuja es la única que ha peleado en toda la p*t4 historia, quizá debamos decir por wue - just in case, the bad word was censored - hija de la Ching-

-stop it you two !- Jennifer angrily commented - a lot has happened since this story was last updated: for starters, my ugly show with PS2 wasn't out yet- because let's face it, She-Hulk wasn't a good show

-cuando se empezó esta historia, en primer lugar, Buda no le había soltado sus pootazos al Hajun - sorry, Wade, but it's for our own good - si si, como sea ! Bueno en que estaba ? Ah si, tampoco el sabroso del Pinchi Juan había aparecido para desafiar a Hades por el uso de su silla - a good fight, which Qin did deserve to win

-Hades should have won: while I know China had nothing to do on that decision - because being honest, it was less beneficial for the authors, as some of its target public really didn't like that - yes yes, I know, but I understand why you need to add that...anyways, the fight was unfair! -

-Gua gua gua, pues ya ni modo: seguro ahorita alguien viene a decirnos que fue guionazo- the based Merc with a Mouth replied - gracias, querida autora ! Donde estaba ? Ah si: y además, la historia estaba escribiéndose antes de que el Moscas y Tesla también empezarán a pelear, cosa que también ha afectado un poco a la hora de escribir esta madre -

-it's not fair to make us argue about that, you will just make one of us look good only because you were Team Qin- the also based She-Hulk made sure to remind - and as Wade said: two more fights have begun after the story was first published: that's complicated things a bit for sure - a bit was an understatement

-entonces, de momento, solo aguarden para el siguiente capítulo: por suerte, ver la pelea del guapote del pajas locas...digo Shiva, que es el husbando para la autora, aunque ella era team Raiden- I know I Wade, I freaking cried seeing the damn fight, more than when I read it - si, ya se ! Ay que muchachita tan llorona : esa pelea, y la de Jack Vs Heracles (que aunque Heracles parecía salido de los openings de CGI de Jojo's, estuvo bien GOD) hicieron que la autorcita querida quiera seguir el fic-

-in any case, she has the continuation for the chapter after my cousin fights - What Wade said could technically be filler, as not all readers will get it, so Jennifer is here to provide the important information. For my friends who don't know English tho, he also gives some important stuff - so just hang up for a bit more, and read this special chapter: we will discuss some points that the author felt the need to address -

-créanle a la Jen, la pelea de Hulk vs Se- no spoilers, Wade - Ching4 tu madre !- the Merc said angrily. While they spoke, the Canadian was looking for all weapons he could find in the house (which they are sharing for plot purposes ) while Jennifer was working out, looking hot as always

-you know, if you were a male author, this could be considered sexist -dead Jennifer kindly pointed out, I apologize - oh it's okay dear, Marvel has done worse. Anyways, our first point : which universe is this ?-

-el universo 13370, donde todo es igual, salvo que Iron Man es un escorpión de Durango - Wade could be right, except that Tony is still a human here - bueno, es casi lo mismo no ? Ni tú sabes de donde agarras las cosas, señorita "Odio Thor 3 pero aún así uso personajes de allí "-....

-this isn't set in a clear universe: it takes elements of Earth-8096 (which is her favorite marvel earth, as it has some of her favorite cartoons ), mixed them with stuff from earth 616, our main universe- which is important to clear up -Earth-199999, aka the MCU, aka a source of conflict and mixed feelings for a lot of people, author included, also made its way here. Lastly, it has some personal head canons - Jennifer explained - and of course, it's also set on the events of Shuumatsu no Valkyrie, or as some call to, Record of Ragnarok - considering it's in the title, that's something that goes without saying

-en resumen, para los que quizá no sepan mucho de Marvel, o solo no hablen inglish: es una mezcla del Yostverse, del universo principal de cómics de marvel, y de las películas del CU...dijo, UCM- yes Wade, nice saving - , algunas alucinaciones de la autora, y pues claro, es un pequeño crossover con Shuumatsu no Valkyrie, o Récord of ragnarok pa los demás - he finished his summary

-now, the gods: it goes without saying that they are the source of conflict here - Jennifer went to look for an important book

-estoy dioses del SNV no han de haber tenido amantes mortales: digo, por que Zeus o Afrodita querrían destruir la especie que conforman el 90% de sus amantes ? - good question, provided by Wade Wilson

-manga wise, we know that demigods, as we understand them from Greek and Norse mythology, aren't exactly a thing- Jennifer opened what turned out to be a manga, specifically a SNV manga. The volume was just what was needed: Jack the Ripper Vs Heracles, or Hercules, as the Romans made us know - both Heracles and Achilles weren't said to be demigods. If you know your Greek myth basics, this is a huge thing: Heracles was the son of Zeus and Alcmene, while Achilles was born out of the marriage of Tetis and the mortal Peleus. If they aren't our regular demigods, there are good chances there are no other ones as well -plus, the Valkyries also don't seem to be that type of demigods-

-saben cuantas veces aparecía Zeus en el árbol genealógico de Heracles ? Muchas, muchísimas : Heracles era tataranieto, hijo, y yerno de Zeus - the merc did some gagging noises - pero aquí, es adoptado, como Loki- cruel Wade, Cruel

Jenn also tried not to show some disgust- speaking of Loki, and well, of Thor, here goes another thing that might need clear up; the pantheons - very important, true - Marvel has most of the same pantheons than SNV has showed, but the gods are vastly different : just check out this story's protagonist ! Snv Thor couldn't be more different than ours : quiet, friendless, neutral towards humans, and slightly more aggressive - things that could be shocking for a first time reader

-y gay, definitivamente gay: no viste como se puso con Lu Bu ? Aquí hay amooooor, aquí hay amoooor - Wade, I ship them too, but it's not the time - tiene más sentido que el Loki x Hermes que pusiste ! Me borraste la Otp, con un caraj0! Y ni siquiera pones el Rudra x Shiva, que son más canon que Mefisto en el ucm - I wanted to put them I swear, I just don't know where

-we can fight about ships later - She-Hulk interrupted as she returned the manga back to the shelf - Loki, as you can see, is also not the one from the show, as he has black hair...or raven hair, as the story likes to write : the gods in here, except for the entire Norse pantheon and some of the Egyptians, are the same ones of SNV. That means that, for example, the Heracles we lost wasn't the dear teammate than Wade and I have fought along with - and who totally hooked up with Jen, tho his MCU casting is questionable at best

-aun así, fue una gran pérdida: era un tremendo papucho, con un rostro tallado por Los Ángeles...- Wade commented while nearly crying, as he hugged a Heracles plushie...wait, where did it come from?- lo compre en el Valhalla, antes de que los dioses se lloraran e hicieran un altar con todos los que quedaban - ah, makes sense.

-Jack deserved to win anyways, stupid Tebans-Jen mumbled angrily, in the end that someone was of the popular agreement that they were pricks - back on topic: characters like Foresetti and the crows had to sadly be removed, as they didn't quite fit - yes, what a great lost

-JA, TÓMALA, CUATR OJOS TRAGA PIT*S- yes Wade, I also dislike that prick ! But don't celebrate too loud - como no? Si ese estaba a nada de ponerse de rodillas y chuparle el Mjolnir a Thor...bueno, yo igual lo haría - same Wade, same

-this is why the gods voted to exterminate us - Jennifer put a hand on her face, sighing after that, then pulled out a convenient marvel guide - up next: why are only the avengers going? And why THOSE avengers ?-she questioned, obviously not pleased

-si, autorcita: pudimos ver a la Jen pelear contra las tetotas , de Afrodita, desnudas las dos, con aceite...-...you know Wade, maybe you are right...but it's not THAT kind of story, plus it would be a bit unfair

She-Hulk slightly smacked Wade -being fair isn't a priority here, but let let's see some characters outside the Avengers team of this story that could have gone : first, Mr Immortal - straight of 3 AM thoughts I see

-una vez mate a ese tipo - Wade laughed- en la primera Civil War, cuanto pelee contra los Great Lake Avengers - and that's exactly why he isn't here

-Mr Immortal, while he is not able to permanently die, can be declared dead: it can't be done like with the Zeus vs Adam fight in which Zeus wasn't really dead - Jennifer began to explain

- GUIONAZO, GUIONAZO!- Wade interrumpted, as he used the favorite word of certain group of fans - tú que vas a saber? Te peleas contra los fans de Adán cuando dicen que no le gana a Shiva, ni quien te entienda - I know Wade, I know

-Anyways - said the green haired beauty, who looked like she was going to smack Wade, and no anyone else pleadedonthitme - you are making it hard... but it's simple: Mr Immortal does die. He simply comes back, no matter how painful it is. Add to that that he lacks any other ability, and we are in for a quick disaster - gods could be pissed if they didn't get a challenge, after all

-Pobre padre, dio todo por su familia - Wade was yet sad again, but it couldn't be blamed as Adam totally deserved that victory- quiero ir a vengarlo!- the Merc went for his katana

She-Hulk grabbed him, just in case -wow hold up body, we already have two other katana-wearing fighters - she reminded to the very pissed off mercenary- that also reminds me of why you aren't a fighter here - yes please, I also wanted to point that out

-es injusto verdad ?yo ya he matado dioses antes, en Deapools Kills the Marvel Universe, y en Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe again - he said the last part bitterly - desvivi al pobre hijastro paquidermo de la autora, y a muchos dioses. Quizá estoy muy roto - and that's why

-yes, exactly - Jen agreed - you CAN'T be killed, at all. That means you would need a more experimented writer. The most OP character in this story, marvel wise, is the scarlet witch, yet she is the nerfed MCU version. Characters like Sue Storm, several of the x-men, Sentry and the like, who don't have an adaptation, can be a hard challenged - she explained - I am not there for a simple reason; my cousin is there, and I also don't want to get there if I can't meet Raiden - oh Jen, you have good taste

-ese habría aguantado tus tremendos sentones sin duda - Wade wished good luck to the fighter and his beautiful girlfriend, wherever they were - no es justo autora, hubieras dejado que Loki dejara a Shiva como un pincho , como le hicieron a Narancia en los Jojos - auch Wade, auch

-see, that wouldn't work sadly: not only he is protected by the power of being the author's favorite, but he is important for the story...which brings us to another question: erasing Odin, as we know it, will also be hard to make up for - and as always, She-Hulk was right

-Uy si, ese viejo sabroso se trae algo entre manos sin dudas...f por la autora, compensar eso en la historia será difícil - agh...hey guys, I think we covered up all that I wanted to say: can you tell us your favorite fights ? And maybe fighters, from both the gods and from the humans

-sure ! We are doing it Manga wise, only tho, to be fair - Jennifer had a good idea, honestly - I have two favorite fights: Jack vs Heracles was amazing to watch. Jack surely tricked us all, even Loki and Hermes, two trickster gods. It's a shame we don't get to know if it worked with our Loki - it was too much work, too much freaking work - and, just like the author, I loved the Shiva vs Raiden fight: I do love me a good old strength fight - good choices, both

- oye, hablando de Shiva Vs Raiden: tu primo habría sido un buen sustituto para Raiden, no?- pregunto Wade

- Yes, but don't dare to mention the Old Man Logan storyline - cool, story, but creepy, Jen is right again - Hulk's regeneration factor would've been a huge counter to Shiva's Tandava Karma. While I'm not sure what is Kara going to give him as a Volund, the truth is that Prour would've done wonders if they worked together - and they were almost the same size, funny enough

And as you might have guessed, Jen's favorite fighter is...- Raiden, for sure !- She-Hulk chuckled - not only is he hot as heck, but did you see what a pure heart that guy has? And how he treated his beloved ? - agreed, a good choice for a fighter

- aunque era furro, pero uno de buen gusto - Wade estuvo de acuerdo - y cuál es tu Dios favorito ?-

- Hades, for sure - Jennifer said glaring at Wade, possibly only at him - let's not start to fight if Qin's victory was fair, it won't be pretty- alright, let's not touch that subject

And no, let's hear Wade !- saben? Mi pelea favorita también tiene a mi luchador humano favorito: Sasaki! - good choice too!-ya se verdad ? Uff, viejo sabroso...ademas nada le gana a unas buenas katanas . Su perseverancia fue hermosa de ver, incluso le perdono a los animadores por haberse gastado el presupuesto de las peleas en la suya-

- most of season one's budget went to two big things, and that wasn't one of them - She-Hulk could tell, everyone could tell, to where that budget went

- ah, que animadores tan flojos - even Wade knew that boobs weren't that vital to keep up the show -de los dioses...si bien Poseidón es un hermoso pedazo de sushi, debo de decir que prefiero a su hermano - Hades, obviously - Que? No!Zeus !- no one even bothered to recall Adamas, fair enough tho

- Makes sense, you two will screw anything with a hole - tho Wade, as Jenn knew, had more limits to that. He was pansexual after all, but not a pervert

-ese hijo de put4 es muy gracioso - again, he had to be censored - pero si a los diosesitos se les ocurre destruir a la humanidad...- the Merc was playing with his katana

- we won't let that happen: they are in our universe, we have how to defend ourselves - She-Hulk was right: unlike in record of ragnarok, marvel humans can kill a god without powers

-Faltan años para que este fic y el Manga termine , pero tengo una petición: envía a Sentry contra Ares, eso será divertido - and unfair as well, as Wade surely knew

It seemed as it was almost time to leave these two alone...

- ah, nada de eso: mi amigo acá quiere reclamarle algunas cosas a la autora !- Wade said as he opened the door to reveal a handsome young man with white hair and red eyes...Wait a moment

-yeah, it's me ! The awesome Prussia ! But you can call me Gilbert, as that's my name in the other unfinished story that this lazy fraulein has pending !- the white haired country who shouldn't be in this said, as if he didn't knew that the author knows that it's not nice to call a girl like that - ah right, your friend told you-

- what is he doing here, Wade ? That guy is from Hetalia - Jennifer was puzzled too

- La autora tiene otra historia pendiente, el venía a reclamarle - the author had already tried to finish that story, be patient, man

-nein! The awesome me wants you to finish our story too! Mein little brother and little Peter deserve it - Gilbert had a point, unfortunately

- let's go prepare, just in case: there's three scenarios that can be possible here, and two require us to fight. For the god’s sake, they better no allow those two scenarios to happen,’or else - She-Hulk grabbed them both, maybe that guy could be useful...no, he was going back to his story for sure. - oh, and we aren’t going to use our manga knowledge for this: it’s kind of OP-

-vamos por chimichangas primero! Quizá la pelea del Doomtard supremo vs cierto lindo gatito salga antes de que Buda le parta la cara a Hajun- Don't spoil it for the anime onlys !- les dijiste que Shiva ganaba, no tienes derecho a reclamar ! Pero, que quiero invitar a Buda a comer chimichangas con nosotros. Tenemos la misma y sensual voz - in the Latin dub, which the author doesn't watch, while Jenn preferred the English dub

The two heroes (and Wade's unexpected guest ) left , in what is a surprisingly long chapter...

And before it officially ended, a very handsome Canadian mercenary appeared yet again - ahora que la autora se fue, les daré un pequeño spoiler: Thor va a pelear, eventualmente - he chuckled a bit - contra alguien que hará esa pelea muy difícil, de manera personal. Todo depende de que tanto la autora quiera tragarse su odio hacia las películas de Taika Waitti, o de que tan importante sea cierto tuerto para la historia original. Esto es para ustedes, amiguitos que hablan español! No traduzcan o tendré problemas...y por último, recuerden : Este Hogar apoya a Tesla en su pelea contra el Moscas, creemos en la ciencia !- and so he left, as he also had to help his newfound friend get back to his own story

[foreverinthepagesofhistory]

What sort of character was ella of hesse her personality?

Hi anon! So I just want to make this very clear. How I write Ella and how she was in real life is very different. I always strive to write the characters correctly, but I also take my own spin on their personalities at the same time. Some aspects of how I write Ella in particular at very true while I’m probably not even coming close to her real personality as she was only 8 years old and didn’t write much herself. There are various descriptions of her personality which I take inspiration from heavily but I can’t promise 100% accuracy with my Ella.

Ella was a very kind little girl and she always cared for others. She loved playing with her cousins and had extreme empathy for others. She was also a lively child, taking after her father in joyousness and curiosity, but also her mother with headstrong-ness and emotionality. She was also described to be a leader and to be very patient and pure.

To really get to know who Ella was, check out @princesselisabethofhesse’s blog! That’s where I learned all about this sweet little girlie!

Thank you for asking!

[the-bjd-community-confess]

This is a confession about other dolls, specifically playline dolls.

There’s some mild discourse in playline community that budget dolls are extremely important and good ($5 or $10 usually, examples can include Hairmazing dolls, Dream Ella dolls, and general dollar store dolls).

I’ll be honest; I cannot agree AT ALL. I get where people are coming from when they talk about financial accessibility, and purchasing something cheap enough that it doesn’t matter if the kid breaks it, but that last point in particular really highlights how “disposable” they are. Budget dolls are… landfill. They are genuinely MILLIONS of bits of plastic waste being churned out, sold, used up, and chucked. It’s one of the aspects pf being a doll collector that makes me seriously uncomfortable. Budget dolls aren’t something a kid is loving then passing onto their kids as they grow up, not least because the budget price also means they are made out of extremely poor quality plastics and materials that we have SEEN disintegrate or even grossly liquify over time.

When I was a kid, we didn’t have these budget dolls. What you did instead was go to thrift stores, markets, and charity stores, and get toys there. As a kid, you have zero grasp or opinion on the doll being second-hand, it’s new to you! Or your family passed down dolls to you. Everything I had up until about 11 was via this, not a single new item. This normal home recycling meant all those plastics didn’t end up in landfill or in the ocean. It meant having dolls at affordable or even free price points.

I’m not sure why this seems to have disappeared as the primary means of affordable (and “disposable”) dolls for children, but I hate that it has. I hate that millions of dollar store dolls are manufactured, a doll that is seriously going to only last a month and end life in a pile of refuse next time the parents have a toy clean-out. I think people are too quick to jump to conclusions about classism, elitism, etc if you argue against budget dolls. It seems like its such a noble cause to people; “dolls for everyone!” I guess. But there are other vastly more environmentally friendly solutions to that, and your “doll for everyone” will not last.

I know if you’re looking at MGA’s massive price hikes, it seems more important for a $10 option vs the insane $100+ they are trying to charge recently, but MGA is far from the only manufacturer out there, and it’s still normal for the rest of dolls to sit comfortably at the $20-$30 mark and have so much more longevity than their $10- cousins.

TLDR: “budget dolls” (playline) cause more problems than they solve, and in the past there were far better and more responsible solutions to making dolls financially accessible. I can’t agree with the importance of current budget playline dolls with this knowledge.

hiiii i love your writings <333 could you please do a camilo x fem!reader where they both are in love with each other but they don’t know about the other’s feelings. and reader thinks he’s in love with another girl and she’s sad but he confesses :)) have a great day💕💕

a lot

pairings : camilo x fem!reader

request : yes / no

summary : the reader thinks camilo loves another but it isnt quite what it seems

warnings : camilo being stupid, sad reader, confused everyone, i think thats it !

a / n : the talking symbol is this 🤌 but on its side yknow opening and closing ? yeah.

Camilo was head over heels for you to say the least and you were absolutely in love with him too, but the only down side was that both of you were completely oblivious to the others feelings.

Félix would always tell Camilo to 'shoot his shot' but how on earth was he meant to do that? Whenever he tried to tell you how he feels Camilo would freeze and mutter something about needed your notes for a class.

You weren't any better, you once tried to tell him you liked him you'd stutter and blush madly then hurry away. It wasn't your fault though, he was just so unbearably attractive and charming and funny and, and...

'wait snap out of it!' you think to yourself as you walk up to Casita, the house opening and closing its windows merrily as you approached. "hola Casita" you waved at the house as you made your way to the door.

Just as you were going to knock Camilo opened the door, making your fist hit him in the chest. "ow" he said slightly leaning over holding his chest.

"lo siento Cami, I didn't know you were going to open the door" you say, a giggle escaping you. "its fine encantadora" the boy replied leaning against the door frame.

You blushed at the pet name he gave you. You and Camilo have always used pet names on each other but recently its had an effect on you.

"you okay (y/n)? You look red" Camilo said worriedly, that sneaky bitch. You know he knew that you were blushing, he just wanted a reaction out of you.

"si estoy bien querido" you said as coolly as you could, putting an empathise on querido. The Madrigal turned away at the nickname, "cállate idiota" he mumbled.

-

"he definitely likes you (y/n), you should ask him out!" your friend Claire says as the two of you walk down the cobbled streets of Encanto. "no, no lo hace, I'm his best friend" you say, your smile faltering.

"yada yada." Claire says making talking symbols with her hands, "Claire, I don't want to ruin my friendship with him. What happens when he tells me he is dating that Angelina girl?"

Your friend sighs and pats your shoulder, "they'll be dating soon if you don't make your move huno" Claire says before walking towards her house.

You shake your head and sigh, "ay, ella no lo entiende?"before walking towards your own home.

-

Camilo huffs flopping down on Mirabels bed, "she won't leave me alone Mira, ¡¿Ella no entiende la indirecta?!" Mirabel laughs at her primos state.

She new from Camilo ranting to her every night that there was this girl, Angelina, who wouldn't leave the poor boy alone. He states that she doesn't get the hint but Mirabel thinks he's just too nice to give her one.

"Milo you know you have to give her hints, right?" the girl with glasses says poking her cousins face, "but she will be sad" the shape shifter wines rolling over onto his stomach.

The girl rolls her eyes, "tell her tomorrow, (y/n) will think you two are dating soon if you don't pry Angelina off of you."

-

The next afternoon Camilo set out to find Angelina and tell her how he feels, he didn't like her in that way and now he was starting to not like her at all.

After all his heart belongs to (y/n), the most perfect girl in the world. Aha! He spotted Angelina, now to tell her what's wrongs and get one with his day.

"hey Angie!" the Madrigal shouted the girls name to get her attention, "Milo!" she squealed back. "hi um can we uh talk?" he asked nervously, "of course, about what?"

You witnessed it all from afar, of course you couldn't hear but you had theories on what was happening, what if Camilo was dating her? You and Claire had got your hopes up for nothing.

Feeling a slight imaginary burn in your heart you trudged back to do your chores, maybe you and Camilo could talk later. If he had time.

-

"oh..." was all the poor girl could say, "Angelina I am so sorry, I didn't mean to lead you on. Heck I didn’t even know I just thought you were being frien-” Camilo was cut off by Angelina raising her hand.

“Camilo I don’t know how to tell you this but... I actually like girls...” the brunette said awkwardly, “oh...” Camilo turned red, his freckles more prominent now. “well that’s uh great, yeah” the shape shifter said in a happy tone, “yeah I was just being overly nice because I wanted to ask for advice on asking Mirabel out” 

Just then you passed by, head bowed and eyes watery, “hey I’ll talk to you later Angie” Camilo said as he ran in your direction. “(y/n)! ¡espera!” Camilo called out to you, you turned your head to see the boy in the yellow ruana running towards you.

“hey” the Madrigal panted, he had crouched down and his hands were on his knees. “hi” you said, a small smile spreading across your face at Camilo’s state, his hair was slightly swept back from the wind and his running and his face was red. He looked so... gorgeous.

“so uh, did you ask Angelina out?” you ask awkwardly trying to get passed the silence. “no, why would you think that?” Camilo asked, one of his eyebrows raised, “oh well it’s just because you guys have been really close lately and I though the two of you-” 

You were cut off by Camilo pressing his lips against yours in a quick kiss. The two off you pulled back, you stood there with your mouth open in shock and Camilo stood in front of you with a sheepish smile on his lips.

“I like you, a lot (y/n). I don’t know why you would think I like someone else” the boy confesses as he scratched the back of his head. 

“well I like you a lot too Cami”
