Home Selling Pitfalls: 11 Design Upgrades Real Estate Experts Recommend Skipping
In a competitive housing market, first impressions matter, and understanding buyer psychology is crucial for a quick sale. “Even though you only need one buyer, it’s essential to present your home in the best possible light,” says Austin-based real estate agent Emily Ross. She notes that today’s buyers are becoming more selective and less inclined to renovate after moving in. Ross advises, “When in doubt, go classic.” Neutral tones, matching appliances, and open spaces are particularly appealing to buyers who want a blank canvas to make their own.
Ross, along with Opendoor’s head of real estate, Kerry Melcher, recommends examining nearby listings to see what’s working. “I often find a recently sold home in the neighborhood that achieved a high price or quick sale as a model to follow,” Ross says. Conversely, if your home lacks a renovated kitchen while others have one, you might miss out on competitive offers.
To help sellers navigate current design trends, we asked real estate agents for insights on what to avoid and their recommendations for buyer-friendly alternatives.

batboys hcs with a architect s/o and how she’s so talented into architecture and critics places they go too for fun?? 😭😭 your writing is so fucking amazing omg (please write more)
‘THIS PLACE COULD USE A EXTRA… SHINE’ ── .✦ DOLLISH
a/n: this made me laugh so hard because I’M MAJORING IN ARCHITECTURE RN in college and it��s so funny receiving this but yeah literally tysmm and I will be like refreshing my ‘page’ if it makes sense so I’ll writing more often from now on so get ready.
Tags: batboys x architect!fem!reader
DICK GRAYSON ── .✦
Dick is amazed by your architectural skills and loves to hear you talk about your designs and the inspiration behind them. He’s always asking you for design tips for his own living space in Blüdhaven asking if you can spice his furniture in his apartment and etc.
When the two of you go on dates or to art exhibits, Dick is the type to listen to your critiques and try to pick up on architectural details, though he’s more likely to focus on the overall vibe of the place than technical elements. He loves hearing how you appreciate places that balance form and function.
One of his favorite things is visiting old, historic buildings or new constructions with you and asking your opinion on how they’ve been designed. He’ll even take notes when you go on architectural tours. (You once joked that the ceiling of a museum looked like it was gonna topple on someone and you swear you saw him tense up so fast moving a few inches from you)
JASON TODD ── .✦
Jason is the most curious about your work, wanting to know every detail about how buildings are designed and what makes them stand out. He’ll often ask about the story behind a particular structure or the challenges faced in a project (he’s just a curious boy🥺🥺)
When you’re out and about, Jason can be pretty critical too, especially about how places are put together. If a building seems impractical or poorly designed (like small stalls for bathrooms and just that shitty nonsense), he’ll express his frustration, and you’ll be right there with him offering insightful critiques. You both tend to agree on bad urban planning and laugh about it.
He’ll enjoy taking you to abandoned warehouses or old buildings in Gotham to test your architectural knowledge. Sometimes, you both challenge each other to design something better or fix up a dilapidated structure together.
TIM DRAKE ── .✦
Tim is very impressed by your intellect and the level of detail you put into your architectural designs. He admires how you view the world through the lens of space, function, and beauty.
Tim loves to dive into deep architectural discussions, analyzing how places are structured. He might even pull out his phone to look up blueprints or information about buildings while you're at a location, appreciating the design choices. He enjoys debating the merits of modern architecture versus classic styles with you.
Tim would likely plan visits to art museums or landmarks that have a rich history of architectural design. He’d love to hear your thoughts on every building and structure, and he’ll probably surprise you by arranging a private tour with an expert in architecture.
BRUCE WAYNE ── .✦
Bruce doesn’t show much outward enthusiasm about your work, but it’s clear that he values your opinion. He appreciates your attention to detail, especially when it comes to Gotham’s urban design. He’s likely to ask for your advice when dealing with the renovations or restoration of the Wayne estate or other properties.
Bruce is very into efficiency and functionality. When you critique a building, he’ll listen intently and agree with your assessments if they make sense, especially when it comes to practicality. He appreciates your ability to separate the aesthetic from the real-world needs of a space.
Bruce might take you to visit some of Gotham’s oldest buildings, showing you around his favorite spots. He values your perspective and loves seeing the city through your eyes, especially when you point out potential improvements. He’s also secretly proud of your talent and often encourages you to push boundaries with your designs.

hi! happy new year idk if you have any neighbours to lovers kind of prompts and maybe boss and employee too? i hope it isn’t much to ask but i really love your prompts
I’m so sorry that this has been in my inbox for so long, but I gotta say I’m very very excited for these prompts. Im going to do neighbours to lovers so let me know if you still want boss and employee.
Neighbours to Lovers OTP Prompts
Prompts
A’s shower breaks so B let’s A use theirs until it gets fixed. B didn’t anticipate running into A, fresh out of the shower with wet hair ans a towel, and they are very okay with it.
Upon discovering that A hasn’t seen movies that B considers “absolute classics”, they start a routine of A coming over every week to watch one.
A drops by B’s house for a few minutes when a storm hits, trapping them both inside for as long as the storm lasts.
A takes pride in their garden, filling it with flowers and bushes. B, who is useless at gardening, asks A to teach them how to garden (mostly as an excuse to see A hot and sweaty in the sun).
A has taken up a new instrument and B can hear them practising. B is an expert at said instrument and texts A advice and feedback.
A’s appliances keep breaking so they keep asking B to fix them since “it’s cheaper than a handyman.”
A is a real estate agent who’s been trying to sell the house next to B’s for years.
One of the windows in A’s house faces into B’s house, so they use it as an excuse to eat meals together (if it faces into the kitchen) / watch TV together (if it faces into the living room).
Oneliners
“It’s not fair that your house has power and mine doesn’t.”
“The walls are thinner than you think.”
“Call it a belated house-warming present.”
“I’m sorry to call you so late but I’m in a bit of a . . . situation and you’re close enough to help me immediately.”
“I’m having an impromptu barbecue— wanna join?”
“The postman keeps sending your packages to my house.”
“My house isn’t on fire, I’m just bad at cooking.”
“Do you come here often?” “. . . I live here?”
“My downstairs neighbour has been blasting music all night, can I hang out here until they stop?”
“Your place is gorgeous. You have to help me decorate mine.”

I just got engaged. Now what?
As I think pretty much all of my 28 beloved followers know, Alajos and I got engaged last month. I’ve been requested to make a post about what I’m planning on doing over the next few months in the run-up to our wedding, and this is going to be my very best attempt at that. I’ve had this ring for less than a full calendar month at this point, so I’m no expert on the matter and I’d actually be really grateful if any other engaged or married girls out there were to chime in with their own advice! But this is what I’m working on doing and scheduling right now, and it’s a combination of advice from my friends and relatives who have been engaged/married for much longer than me, and conversations and decisions had jointly with my darling fiancé.
First of all, and maybe most superficially, there’s the actual wedding to be sorted out. I have a nice little timeline checklist of things to arrange, but I’ll just run through the main bits now, else I’ll be writing for hours and boring everyone totally senseless! Alajos and I are going to have a traditional Latin wedding Mass and ceremony at his family’s parish in Austria, and the first thing we did after he proposed (after we finished crying and excitedly telephoning everyone we could possibly think of!) was to contact the church and book the date of the wedding. This was actually really important to do as soon as possible for us, because we planned to participate in the rite of betrothal soon after proposal, and that requires an already-set wedding date. We paid the church a visit and met with everyone there, and spent a long time discussing our plans for the wedding itself. In some respects, we have it quite easy, because with the wedding itself being held in Alajos’ family’s parish and the reception at the home estate there, there’s no real venue and catering difficulties for us. Still, we’ll need to plan out exactly how we’re going to transport and host our guests for the duration of the wedding. We’re fortunate enough to be able to pay for our guests who will need to travel a long way for us, and I’m really glad that we can do that and make sure that everyone we love will be able to attend without worry, but the logistics will definitely need to be sorted and finalised properly over the next few months. Also, I’m anxious to give our two families more of a chance to get to know each other before the wedding, and hopefully I’ll be able to coordinate ample opportunity to make that happen soon!
Of course, I think that every soon-to-be bride is worried about how she’ll look on her big day, and I definitely feel it! I’m going to have my braces removed next month, when I’m back in England, and I’m going to book my rhinoplasty for January, so that I’ll have ample time to recover and for swelling to go down before the wedding—for any engaged girls planning surgeries, I’d really recommend no later than 6 months before the wedding day! I’m going to get my lip filler re-done in Seoul whilst I’m in Asia over Christmas, I have a luxury skincare regime planned in stages over the next few months, and I’ve already booked my hair and makeup, and I’ll have several discussions and rehearsals with the artists and stylists before the day itself. I’m going to have my wedding dress made up by my very trusted seamstress, and I’ve booked that in with her already and bought the shoes and underwear I know I’ll be wearing on the day before I go for my first fitting. It’s so, so important to go to fittings with your underwear and shoes already sorted, otherwise you’re just wasting your seamstress’ time!
Aside from the wedding itself, though, I’m focusing mostly on the idea of marriage as a complete whole. The Catholic Church places a huge emphasis on checking and resolving potential stumbling-blocks in a relationship before the point of marriage, because, quite sensibly (in my opinion), it wants to minimise the chance of divorce. When I get back to England, we’re going to be doing a marriage preparation course with our church, and I’m actually really looking forward to it—Alajos has already picked up the workbooks that we’re going to be using, and from the photos he’s sent me, they’re very sensible and focus a lot on secular questions and topics which I think would be beneficial for any couple to consider. Before marrying anyone, I really do think that you need to discuss everything under the sun, and although Alajos and I have talked about almost everything there is to talk about, and several times over at that, there’s something very reassuring and something intimate about doing an actual course together and filling in a workbook in writing, I think. We’re also going to be mentored by two lovely married couples—one close to our age, and one who have been married for a long, long time—and, of course, by our reverend, too. I know I’ll spend a lot of time thinking, praying, and talking seriously with Alajos over the next few months; I’m aware that this is the end of a part of my life, and the beginning of another, and it feels important to me that I take the time to reflect on things and embrace the transition for what it is.
There’s a lot of paperwork that comes in the run-up to marriage, and it’s important to stay on top of it and not feel overwhelmed or confused. I think the most crucial thing to discuss is the prenuptial agreement. Prenups get a bad rep, but I fully agree with them, when they are done right. Of course, you don’t want to think about the prospect of divorce, but much like you wouldn’t buy a house without insurance (even though you don’t want to think about it burning down!), you also really shouldn’t get married without a prenup. It’s an opportunity to discuss and decide on the worst at a time when you love and care for one another deeply, rather than when you’re feeling bitter and horrid after a difficult marriage and divorce. If either of you have any family money, then a prenup is basically a given, so you need to make sure that both of you are represented by very good and capable lawyers. If he loves you, he shouldn't ever be trying to screw you over. Alajos has offered to pay for my lawyer as well as his own, and I’m strongly considering it, although I think we’ll decide on that for certain when we’re back in England together. In the same vein as prenups: make sure that you’re both straight on things like mahr or any other bridewealth, dowry/dower, pin money, and your will and testament, too. All of these things can, and should, be done and sorted with excellent lawyers and love in your hearts, and the engagement period is a perfect time to do that.
This is all the important stuff I can think of off the top of my head, but I’m always happy to gush about my wedding (and future husband) to anyone who even looks as though they might possibly be listening, so please do just ask if there’s anything else you’d like to know! If you have any advice yourself, as I said, I’d be really very grateful if you were to share it—I’m really very new at this whole engagement thing and I know I’m not going to be any good at it just yet!

I spent 6 grueling hours researching how to protect one's photos/scans so you wouldn't have to--And these are my findings:
As the title states, I spent 6 grueling hours researching how to protect one's photos/scans in case other collectors want to protect and/or receive credit for their photos.
Once more let me emphasize THEIR PHOTOS.
Backstory:
It's not a secret that I'm quite a big collector of official Spy x Family merchandise, specifically clear file folders, stationery, and acrylic stands. I own so much, in fact, I have a tendency to own a handful of duplicates and had the crazy idea to start a small business selling these duplicates via Ko-Fi. A thought came to me that since I had already invested in a light box and a scanner for selling my merch, why not also use them to share pictures of my collection for other fans to view and appreciate?
And that was when I had sought the opinions from my good friend, @yumeka-sxf. Yumeka has been kindly posting high-resolution scans of her SxF merch (clear files, pages, etc.) on Tumblr. She is someone I also deemed as an expert when it came to uploading merch on the internet. She gave me incredible advice with awesome foresight when it came to watermarking high-resolution pictures and scans. She easily predicted what disrespectful people would do if I hadn't moved my watermarks to certain (albeit not really appealing) spots. And, just like she said, someone did attempt to remove my watermark using AI. You can read about it here. @yumeka-sxf also provided her own insight to watermarking merch here--if ya'll are interested to read.
I won't go into too much detail, but essentially they're long posts meant to educate people on why fans, who own the official merch, put watermarks on their pictures. The bottom line is, we're claiming the picture for ownership, NOT the merch.
Second, did you know that people have found ways to remove watermarks?
That gives me enough incentive as to why I want to take it a step further to protect my photos/scans.
"If I take a picture of something do I own the picture that I took?":
Yes and no. Yes as in, the picture is yours. No, because depending on your subject, it falls under numerous jurisdictions of copyright. You can find all the details in this insightful post from veteran photographers.
But since we're focusing on the topic of photos and scans of merchandise, I'd like to provide these screenshots:
And so, to re-iterate, the only thing you'll get out of copyrighting your photo is just the right to the photo--which is all I want.
The Findings:
6 grueling hours of research for protecting one's picture led me to several insightful directions--one of them amusingly brought me down a rabbit hole of how to protect one's real estate pictures. They did have some wonderful tips if you guys would like to read them!
Unfortunately, I do not own Photoshop so I could not make any edits on the metadata or create a layer that will prevent downloading the content of the picture. Preventing screenshots/right-clicking is limited to control on a website and/or can easily be canceled by plug-ins. So that just leaves me with finding something creative solutions the only tool I have: Canva (more on this later).
I spent some more time reading more journals and visited USCO (United States Copyright Office) and, finally, Pixsy.
I'm gonna be honest, USCO is THE BEST way to protect your media (merchandise, art, etc.) IF you have the money to support it.
Not only do I not have the funding for this type of service, but my photos don't exactly meet "originality" especially when the subject of the photo is copyright-protected merchandise, which means there are severe punishments for those who pursue any commercial purposes (such as selling my photos to make money rather than directing people to purchase the official work from the licensing site). And at the end of the day, I just care about the photo, itself, and receiving credit and source.
It's ridiculously simple to just credit and source a picture, and yet, it'll surprise you how many people just can't do that. This is why, I must take these extra precautions to ensure credit and sourcing.
So, I opted for Pixsy for its free plan that includes 500 images being monitored.
There's no doubt that I'll most likely invest in a monthly subscription if ever I amass beyond 500 pictures for monitoring.
Currently, it has already done an impressive job of identifying pictures I've posted with my watermarks on Ko-Fi, Twitter, and Tumblr. It has even identified reblogs/retweets.
For some odd reason, it uploads my pictures horizontally when it's normally vertical ^^; but it still gets the job done. Interestingly, it hasn't picked up my pictures from Mercari yet. I assume that if I were to upgrade to the subscription plan, Pixsy might be able to find it by then.
Procedures:
I'm sharing my procedures for protecting one's photo (and content, if applicable of course).
Step 1: Register on Pixsy. As I've addressed earlier, it's free.
Step 2: Upload HIGH-RESOLUTION pictures (no watermark) to Pixsy's database. This is probably the most accurate way for Pixsy to identify pictures of the same (or similar) "blueprint". In the picture below, I provided a screenshot of my picture without the watermark (left) with a picture they found of my picture with my watermark on it from my ko-fi shop (right).
Step 3: If you plan to upload a photo/scan with or without watermark, it is recommended to upload your image at 550 pixel image and at 72 dpi. This makes it good for the internet (see first image below). But once you zoom in, you can tell the difference in quality (see second image below).
I mentioned before that I don't have photoshop, so I experimented with what I do have: Canva.
Since I have a premium membership (indicated by crown icons), I just use the following settings:
and it gets the job done.
I am planning to upload my photos without watermarks to the Spy x Family wiki quite soon, so I did all this research to prepare for possible theft and/or the lack of crediting and sourcing--just in case. A friend of mine told me that s/he can try to ensure crediting through the file name, which is a ridiculously kind gesture, but I'm not ignorant of people who change/completely ignore file names. That's unfortunately just the way it is on the internet.
Hopefully, I've curated enough research to help protect photos/scans from possible theft (if reposting is not allowed by the owner).
I don't mind if my photos are used for reference AS LONG AS they credit me and link the source directly to the image itself (not one of those cut-corner kind of way and just link my Ko-Fi gallery). I won't tolerate laziness when it comes to sourcing considering I invested a lot of money to purchase merch and invested hours--even days--to get the best photo/scan + researched information on the merch for public access.

from stars through my fingers like grains of sand
Sam was already at the Rock when Cait got there; he was deep in conversation with the dark-haired senior Ranger she'd passed a few times. She didn't interrupt, just headed up the stairs to the Marshal's office. He wasn't one to waste words or time. "Welcome back. Any luck finding out who stole the ship from HopeTech?"
Blake's crisp efficiency cut through any lingering haze from the morning, and Cait could almost feel her spine straighten a bit more in reaction. "With Ranger Pryce's help, we tracked it back to a known ship-jacker name of Grace Early. From what she said, I still think it was an inside job, but I've asked Ranger Kalu for assistance with that aspect. She's better positioned to follow up in HopeTech itself. She had some physical evidence—an encrypted slate—which I've handed over to Ranger Hadid. He's asked me to keep an eye out for more of them."
"Good," he said. "I'm glad to see you know how to work as part of a team. And, it sounds like you're making real progress."
"Not as much as I'd like," she said grimly. "I have a couple names, but shutting down the First won't help unless we can get a tie to whoever hired them." Blake nodded, and she sensed agreement and approval in his tightly-controlled emotions. "Since you have personal knowledge of the First, sir, I was hoping you could give me some intel on these names: Maya Cruz and Marco… something. Marco's a money man. Cruz was the go-between."
Blake grunted. "I served with Maya Cruz. Technical genius and expert hacker. Arrogant. Not a people person. Marco… about the time he got out of jail, we started hearing his name in connection with a smuggling racket. Based on what you've learned, I'd presume he's funneling his ill-gotten gains to the First. Autumn MacMillan's looking into that operation out at the Red Mile, but…" He frowned. "He runs a tight ship, but one of his suppliers isn't quite as careful. Sonny di Falco. He's got a little estate on Maheo I. If you want my advice, I'd follow up there first before jogging Autumn's elbow."
Cait nodded. "As for Cruz, she was suffering from some kind of serious illness; I thought I'd start looking at the Clinic."
"Best medical services money can buy," Blake nodded again. "Good call. With their privacy guarantees, it's ideal for someone trying to keep a low profile. Ranger Ben Armistead is posted there; I'll send him an update on the situation. He'll be expecting you."
"Thank you, sir," she said.
"You're welcome. Just remember, your priority is to gather more intel on the First. What are they planning? Who are they working for? Where are they headquartered?" Blake fired out the questions like bullets.
"Whatever they're planning," she replied, "it's going to be something meant to hurt the Collective. They believe that the Collective betrayed them."
"That's right," he agreed. "Your targets were locked up because they were loyal to their unit and Major Hull. They won't take kindly to you sticking your nose in, so watch your back." He gave her a stiff nod of dismissal. "Good hunting, Deputy."
Cait echoed his nod and made her way back downstairs, thinking hard. All in all, she was inclined to take the Marshal's advice, start with the easiest nut to crack. Sam was sipping a Boom!Pop while chatting with Helga; he gave Cait a casual little wave of acknowledgment when she entered the bar. Despite her best efforts to keep his feelings at bay, she couldn't help but pick up fragments of his good mood. Cora's visit must have gone well, then. She paused a moment at the jobs console, giving Sam time to wrap up his conversation.
He caught up with her just outside the Rock. "Mornin'," he said cheerfully, handing her a Boom!Pop Cherry. "Sleep well?"
The question made her damn near fall on her face—How could he know?!—before she realized how impossible it was that he'd be referring to—that. "Fine," she said hurriedly, trying to fight down the flush she felt creeping up her neck. "Just fine, thanks." She took a deep, determined breath. "Um. You?"
"Oh," he chuckled, "I slept juuuuuuuuust fine." Cait didn't have to see Sam's grin to know it was there, an air of lazy satisfaction that thrummed down that weird little connection she had to him, sent a tingle down her spine and made her insides tighten. With an effort, she shoved it down, but she couldn't help but be hyper-aware of his presence next to her, warm and solid, and all she had to do was turn around and bring her lips to his—
Dammit! What the hell was wrong with her? She shivered, running her hands up and down her arms. Sam—of course—noticed, but fortunately he chalked it up to the cool of the morning. "You know," he said affectionately, "you wouldn't be so cold if you grabbed a jacket. Why don't you take mine until we reach the ship?"
He was already starting to shrug out of it when she blurted, "No—!" That no was the hardest thing she'd ever had to say; she desperately wanted to say yes, to surround herself in his warmth and his scent… and she was terrified of what might happen if she did. Had to remind herself that they were just friends. That he loved someone else. "No," she managed to repeat more normally, even smiling a little to soften it. "I appreciate the offer, but a little cool won't kill me."
"A'right," Sam said, settling it back on his shoulders. "So what's the plan?" He seemed different today—his emotions seemed more—muted—than usual, like he was holding something in. Cait should have been happy about that, given the trouble she'd been having tuning him out—but instead she felt bereft. Again—what the hell was wrong with her? "Cait—?" He sounded concerned, and she shook herself out of her thoughts.
"Sorry." She gave him an apologetic smile. "Um, Maheo I. Marco's got a smuggling contact by the name of Sonny di Falco; he's got an estate there. Marshal thinks we're more likely to be able to squeeze something out of him." Sam's emotions flared cold hatred, and when Cait chanced a look at him, his face was set in stone.
"I know him," he said, and his voice was as flat and hard as his expression. "He's a slimy bastard. Big shot on Neon, 'til he did something to cross Ben Bayu. Couldn't have been too bad—he got out with his skin in one piece—and he's still got his fingers in a lot of pies. If he's working with Marco, that's bad news all around." He looked at her, a strange, almost desperate intensity in his gaze. "You watch yourself with him. He has a lot of charm, he knows how to use it, and he's good at getting his hooks into the innocent and naive and—twisting them all up."
"And which am I?" she asked sarcastically.
He exhaled harshly. "That first one. Cait—" he held up a hand to forestall her protests "—when it comes to dealing with people like him… you are. He likes to think of himself as a collector of people, and you? You're—you're unique. He's gonna take one look at you and—" He shook his head, and something dark and savage surfaced for a moment in his eyes. "Just trust me on this one, okay? Do not agree to anything. Do not take anything he offers. 'Specially not Aurora. He'll get you hooked on that shit faster than a grav jump to nowhere." He was holding in his feelings so hard it had to hurt—all she got was a vague sense of mingled anger, hatred, and fear that burned like acid.
"I trust you," she told him softly. "If you say he's bad news, I will be extra careful." She hesitated. "Are you going to be okay going in there with me?"
"Don't even think of going in with someone else," Sam growled, shifting his rifle a little on his back.
"Okay." Cait didn't hesitate to give him her agreement. "I'll make sure you're carrying a couple extra junk flushes, then. I… don't react well to Aurora, so if he does manage to slip me some, you might need it."
"If he does, he's dead." Sam's voice cracked like a gunshot. Mood he was in, she wasn't going to argue.

Chapter 2
I swear I'll get around to actually writing this soon, but have some parts of the outline for Chapter 2
♡ When Rafe and Barry decide to make things official, and then go public, no one is surprised.
♡ They say I love you to each other right off the bat, because they felt it way before it was okay to admit
♡ Sarah claims she's the reason they came to their senses
♡ Ward was already well acquainted with Barry, but started requesting the two spend time alone like he does with John B.
♡ The Cameron Patriarch brings up marriage a lot, just to see if Barry will squirm
♡ Wheezie claims Barry as her very best friend
♡ Both siblings, though they always loved their brother, find him much more tolerable to be around, not nearly as high strung and angered as easily.
♡ Once Barry had approval from both Ward and Rose as a suitable partner, he was awarded a key to Tanneyhill.
♡ Barry does disgusting, degrading things to Rafe all over the mansion.
♡ Rafe had been living with the dealer for almost a year prior to the relationship, so it seemed silly to not make that official, too.
♡ Only Ward was absolutely against it. He hadn't been able to win over John B. and Sarah, but Barry fucked around with some dangerous people in the past, so he was willing to let the real estate expert find them a home close enough to the south side to make the man's commute to work not suck, while still allowing the kook prince his status.
♡ Rafe never thought of himself as the type to be so particular over interior design, but he and Topper go to the mainland and spend forever picking out the perfect furniture.
♡ And then the kooks make Barry and his friends unload the truck and build everything
♡ Barry lives to take care of Rafe. It's his favorite thing, knowing instinctively what the boy needs and doing it before he even needs to be asked.
♡ Rafe's counter argument everytime Barry brings up having kids is: "Spend some one on one time with Wheezie, you'll change your mind."
♡ But Barry loves Wheezie, and he won't change his mind and secretly Rafe doesn't want him to, starting to feel ready to sit down and really talk about it.
♡ For now, Rafe's baby is his boat, graciously signed over to him from his dad. The boy spends countless hours fixing things before they break and sailing and forcing Barry to join him, which he always does because he likes how pretty Rafe looks in the glow of the sunset while bouncing on his lap, both of them damn near breaking longue chairs by being too rough every single time.
♡ It's mandatory for the couple to attend all sorts of kook events. One night after the two stumble into their cute home after a few too many expensive drinks, Barry admits he loves when Rafe forces them to match outfits.
♡ There's not a single anniversary or engagement party or family dinner or anything else where Rafe hasn't snuck off to get fucked in the bathroom, Barry's hand clasped over the boys mouth to muffle the slutty moans he's not even trying to hold in.
♡ Rafe will try to tame his sweaty hair and use cool water to get rid of the flush to no avail. John B. will fist bump Barry just as Sarah clues in with ew, gross.
♡ Both men are big fans of PDA, jealous and possessive despite having no reason to be.
♡ Rafe likes being told who he belongs to, whether it's while the older man is buried balls deep inside him or sleepily mumbled against his neck before bed.
♡ Some guy comes in to buy a ring for his soon-to-be wife, asking for Barry's advice. Barry has a lot of thoughts regarding jewellery, and when the customer asks if he's married the man says, "Nah, but my boyfriend's into all this stuff."
♡ After the guy has left with a dainty ring, Barry spends the rest of his shift pacing the floor trying to think of how he'll possibly grow the balls to ask Ward fucking Cameron for his only sons hand. Stupid kooks and their traditions.
♡ But then some lady makes a comment about someone like Barry being with someone like young Mr. Rafe Cameron at Midsummer's and Ward is the first to jump to his defense.
♡ "Don't listen to people like that, son. Some of these folks are too stuck in their ways," Ward says reassuringly, arm slung casually around Barry's shoulders.
♡ Topper and Barry fight like brothers, Rafe always having to break them up
♡ They have a "guest room" which Wheezie has made all her own, some of her stuffed animals on the bed and posters of Taylor Swift on the walls
♡ Barry enlists Sarah's help to find a ring, the girl squealing and grabbing onto him in excitement every few minutes for literal hours
