In Timeless, Adonis has invited Connie as his date to the Lord Mayor's Christmas party. Wolf was encouraged (in the end, more like dared, because brothers be brothers) to invite Bess (as merely close friends, of course) and she accepted.

Let's dress our guys and dolls up and rp a little!

I'm giving myself some motivation to start working on this again. The overhaul of the fic really fried my brain, and then I got drawn into pirates, ha ha. Trust me though, it hasn't been forgotten. They are in my head like a monkey with a tamberine all the time.

Song this goes with. Funny it's called The Beginning...

I love how it shows how different their features are, yet they blend into one another at the same time.

It's a callback to Francis referring to the mind as a glass house and both of them having shattered this glass a long time ago.

Also, in reference that they are charastically one person fragmented into another.

@rom-e-o @quill-pen who is Connie's bully. I need information for a little oneshot I make of Ryuuichi absolutely crushing their reputation after talking shit to Connie.

Bess: *texts this to Gil*😈

Gil: *instantly blocks*

Connie: 😐Well, that... seems extreme.

Bess: 😌He'll unblock me in a few hours to rant and rave--don't worry.

Super cool ocean fact: there is at least 6 fish in the ocean

I have a splitting migraine and TheyTM are my only cure.

I'm always late to draw Gianna and Eb for Valentine's Day... but it's okay, better late than never 😭.

Oh yeah, I took the pose from a drawing from last year (redraw). I like it so much that I wanted to do it in color. ♡♡♡

So, angsty ask:

Do you think the Twins ever have nightmares about the wifeys leaving them? Like, Bess/Connie find out the extent of their pasts and (although the irl versions have accepted and love them) they still dream that they sporadically change their minds and decided to leave?

“You’re no better than the man I fled from.”

Or, they dream that they returned to their former selves, and their wives fall out of love with them?

Horrible visions of their wife turning away in disgust/tears haunt them. A life beyond salvation? So be it. But living a life knowing he drove the love of his life away AGAIN? They couldn’t do it.

Then they awaken, gasping for air.

In bed, wifey is right next to them, probably still naked and smiling from a night of passionate love-making, and he tried to quiet his breaths/sobs to not disturb her, and relief sinks in.

Absolutely they do. In every timeline, Bess' Eb has such nightmares, especially near the beginning of their romantic relationship. But the fear behind the dreams also sometimes vary.

Lots of times, he dreams that she either rejects him because of his past or that he returns to his old ways and drives her away. More than once Bess has woken up to find him after a nightmare, and she just embraces him, showering him with kisses, caresses, and gentle words. She reminds him she knows what he was like before he changed; he has been honest with her about it (often to his own detriment); she's heard other people's accounts; she's witnessed how lots of people still fear and despise him for his history.

"I love and admire you all the more because of it. It's proof how much you've changed and how strong your dedication to being a better man truly is. Your past doesn't disgust me--it saddens me. Because I can't help but think how lonely and hurt you must have felt for so long, and how much you must have despised yourself to let yourself fall into that way. I know you, and I know you won't go back to that. And you know that I won't let you either. I have you."

Sometimes, especially if he's been talking with people who have made comments and he's been witness to Bess receiving attention from men closer to her age at a party, his nightmares will be about her leaving him for someone younger, handsomer, spryer. He does trust Bess completely, of course. But with his past history with most women, it's no surprise these are very deep-seated insecurities that, occasionally, get triggered. He's working on squashing them, with Bess' help.

It certainly does help when he watches Bess turn down interested parties, excusing herself from conversations with some of the most eligible young bachelors in the blueblood stud book to immediately beeline towards him when she spots him across a room. She'll greet him with a socially acceptably passionate kiss, like she knows he was in need of just a bit of reassurance that she's his and his alone. She probably does; she can read him so well. Then, at home, she'll further reassure him in their bedroom how he's the only man she wants--the only man she needs. "You are the only man in my world. Every other may as well be blood or boys."

In the DNDverse, specifically, he has terrible nightmares of losing control of his wolf and killing Bess, or worse, turning her into what he is. Bess has gotten rid of most of her silver, but Eb has insisted she keep the pure silver pendant from her priestesshood and wear it during the full moons when he is at his wildest, strongest, and most vicious and uncontrolled. Silver hurts him in general, but it's even more repulsive to him when wolfed out. During a regular transformation he can withstand being around her if she were to wear it (she refuses to in those circumstances). Under a full moon, the silver of her pendant is so pure in quality, she might as well be protected by a magical barrier, his wolf stays so far away.

Bess isn't the biggest fan of this; she hates the idea of causing her beloved discomfort and not being able to be close to him, but it certainly has seemed to help assuage Eb's fears and made him feel more comfortable (ironically). And that's what matters. So out comes the full moon and on goes the pendant for one lonely, heartbreaking night. It's painful, but it's worth it for all the other happy ones together.

@quill-pen THIS IS AMAZING. I bet you this is their FIRST purchase too, and it's like...five minutes into the trip. "Are they at the register already?"

"What the heck are they - oh my god."

"When we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved before us, and no one will ever love in the same way after us."

For pride month with Francis and Eb! It's drawn after this unnamed pair mid 1800s. I've had it on my phone since early writing of Fox and the Rose.

Also, the second illustration is untextured. I couldn't decide which I liked better.

My head cannon for Scrooge is she is trans and starts wearing cute grandma Christmas dresses and bakes cookies for orphans 

[st0r-fruit]

@rom-e-o @quill-pen you can't tell me Ryuuichi don't dox whoever hurts his fam.

Adonis got a bad name by a bank partner? Next day he got caught cheating in the newspapers!

Connie gets called mean names? The bully lost their job and can't get another ones due to exposed bad Resume!

Bess becomes top rumor discussions? One of those gossipers get revealed a bad secret next day!

And who did all of that? None other than Ryuuichi Kashima, anonymously!

@a-christmas-window-shop This for a classicverse winter outfit? With the muff??? Adorable!

Winter Ensemble

1880s

Anyone living in New England realizes that dressing in winter means dressing for warmth. A stylish few, however, somehow manage to combine warmth with elegance. This ensemble was purchased by Miss C. L. W. French of Roxbury and Boston, Massachusetts, from Mlle Lipman's establishment in Paris for the lavish sum of 1,600 francs. Miss French surely would have impressed anyone as she strolled along the Commonwealth Avenue mall or rode down Beacon Street in a sleigh.

The original bill and a photograph of one of Miss French's relatives wearing the dress in 1920 were also given to SPNEA. Along with the photographs, the donation included a program from a Suffrage Pageant in 1920. This tantalizing bit of evidence suggests that Miss French may have been a suffragette, for this dress was worn in 1920 by a relative at a celebration of the Nineteenth Amendment awarding women the vote.
