"Girl Wed to 3 Servicemen Given Year," Vancouver Sun. September 21, 1943. Page 5. --- CALGARY, Sept. 21 - (CP) - Convicted on a charge of bigamy in city police court yesterday, Mrs. Gladys Lillian Ferguson, 23, was sentenced to one year's imprisonment with hard labor.

Handing down the sentence which he described as a "warning to all other girls of the community," Magistrate I. F. Fitch said. "We all know that the wives of soldiers draw allowances, and it is a strange thing that these three marriage ceremonies should have been with soldiers."

Previously the girl admitted that she married a Port Arthur soldier in October, 1941; went through a second marriage ceremony with a Winnipeg man who later joined the army, and at Brooks in November, 1942, went through another marriage ceremony with an air force sergeant.

"I never draw any two allowance cheques from the government covering the same period," the accused told court.

im completely feral over all your jelsa stories!!!!!! do you ever write established relationship jelsa or have any headcanons about what they would be like together in a serious relationship or marriage????

THANK YOU SO MUCH. 😭😭😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕🙏 thank you thank you nonny for this super sweet ask and this really lovely question and all of your love and support!! 💕💕💕💕💕

i have... never actually written established!relationship (in any fandom), now that i'm thinking about it? that said, i guess i can come up with a quick list of some headcanons, maybe? 😂 i will have to think about this more, but for now, here's a quick drop:

elsa is an early riser; elsa helps jack create more sustainable sleeping patterns and habit formations 😂

when jack gets Impetuous Urges to Do Something Rash and Impractically Spontaneous, elsa will ground jack, reminding him to think before acting. (he occasionally Still Does It, anyway.) elsa knows what she signed up for, lol.

jack loves to play Harmless(!) Pranks, just to watch elsa’s reaction. (he is no longer allowed to sneak up on her after The Incident).

they also quibble over the definition of "harmless" and the specific logistical implications of that; for a while, jack was banned from further pranking, but then he got more creative at showing elsa that pranks could be wholesome and genuine, in which they could both be in on the joke. however, due to elsa's deeply-rooted Need to Excel and her (Not-so)Secret Competitive AF Streak, her retaliation in escalating the Cleverness Prank War quickly resulted in jack's prompt implementation of the Prank-Free Zones and Time Periods. (no, he was not scared.)

elsa, usually reserved, has learned to let her playful side show more often with jack. she might still pretend to be exasperated by his antics, but sometimes it's part of the game (or habit).

elsa sill struggles with opening up emotionally sometimes, but she progressively feels safe enough to share her innermost thoughts and fears. with time, she confides in him more about her worries. she still never likes the idea that jack sees her Imperfect Parts, but at least she can tolerate the discomfort (and, yes, take comfort in it) now

(jack loves elsa's Imperfect Parts, and jack admits that he is Weirdly Proud and Competitively Honored to be one of the only people, even including anna, who gets to see them. he also is strangely Comforted and Validated that elsa is, in fact, not perfect because for a while there, he was pretty freaked out and intimidated by how fancy she is.)

until he realized that no one ever let her actually be a Weirdo before, and once he realizes the Truth of Elsa Also Being a Secret (albeit perhaps more Subdued) Weirdo, the Universe Aligns.

jack listens to elsa's Big Conversations intently, activating varying levels of Serious Mode.

jack is getting better at recognizing the moments when elsa needs him to play and needs him to listen or Give His Opinion or any combination of those things.

jack learns that it's not always about Saying the Right Thing (which he is not very good at, anyway, or so our Serially Unreliable Narrator thinks), but rather being able to read elsa's mood and anticipate what she might need (even if she is not aware of it herself yet).

elsa is meticulous about planning and preparing for special occasions.

elsa likes traditions! jack likes tradition only because elsa likes them, lol, and hey, okay, these are more fun than he thought?? (who knew fun could be organized??!!?)

so he really wants to show (off to) her by pulling off Incredible Planning Feats in her honor, too (they do not go as smoothly, lol).

jack will often go out of his way to spontaneously create something meaningful, a moment or a gift or a gesture, that reminds elsa that he cares. he is big on words of affirmation, gift giving (but like, souvenirs that he collects on adventures like, "i saw this rock and it reminded me of your cousin olaf, we should put it on the window after we paint his face on it"), and acts of service, as well as physical touch and quality time. HE WANTS LOVE. he wants TO BE LOVED. he wants to prove that he is worthy of being loved.

(and elsa has to get him to Chill Out sometimes, remind him that he doesn't have to Do Things For Her/Anyone in order to be deserving of care; he is more than what he provides for other people.)

(jack gets its, and appreciates it, but also, the Urge to Provide and Protect is still strong, even after so much time, and sometimes Old Habits Die Hard.)

i get the sense that he'd be the type to he wake elsa up in the middle of the night to take her on a surprise adventure, or convince her to Do a Fun Thing without any preparation (/warning).

and she would Be Alarmed at the Lack of Plan (especially if/when jack Did Not Think This Through), but he also took precautions to ward off Concerns by pacifying her with tea, or reassurances that yes, he did call ahead to make sure the restaurant was open before they left the house, of course he did, he would never just leave home without double-checking beforehand (and frantically googles it two minutes later when he thinks she's not looking; she is, naturally, and even occasionally pretends not to be).

elsa approaches conflict with a desire to resolve things Calmly and Logically. she tries to understand jack’s perspective, even when she disagrees, and she’s careful with her words, not wanting to escalate the situation.

however, she can sometimes withdraw emotionally, fearing that she might say something hurtful if she’s too overwhelmed.

jack was initially (and, honestly, still is, even though he understands more now) hurt by her tendency to shut down when she Feels Too Much, and understands (although it's still hard) that elsa needs time to process her feelings and organize her thoughts.

jack also helps elsa actually Feel her Feelings, instead of just trying to intellectualize and analyze them. (she hates it, BUT sees the value. jack lives for these moments in which he realizes that he's actually contributing positively to her life and helping her in some way, rather than just being a burden or a nuisance, as was/is his fear.)

his initial reaction might be to push for a resolution quickly, but he’s also deeply afraid of Creating Distance between them, so after the first few fights, he really makes an effort to find the right balance between Pushing Hard Enough and Not Pushing Too hard, so that he doesn't drive a wedge between them as they work things out.

jack FEELS intensely, and can be so stubborn. he does not always have the most precise vocabulary or tools to describe his thoughts and feelings, or identify the root causes of what is actually going on inside him; sometimes elsa asks a lot of insightful and guiding questions that help jack come to the conclusions himself, and other times, she Puts Into Words the very thing that he had been thinking or feeling, but could not name, and it is very reassuring to have someone who understands him well enough to be able to do that.

after conflicts or arguments, they take time to Decompress and reassure one another (especially if at least one of them, if not both, was Overthinking again).

when they argue (and healthy couples do, remember!), it’s a dance of patience and understanding: elsa might need a moment to Collect Herself, and jack learns to give her that Space while also making it clear that he’s ready to talk whenever she is, and that he is going to try very hard to be Rational and Patient About It.

in the end, they both prioritize their relationship over any disagreement, always finding a way back to each other.

To ME, the terror is like a beautiful road trip family drama and fitzier are the parents whose marriage has been rocky and they’re reaching a breaking point but the events of the journey bring them back together again <3

“That’s a bold choice, Dalek Supreme, coming to a wedding planet dressed in white! Unless you’re here to get hitched… should I be flattered?”

“We are here to exterminate you.”

“Oh, that’s probably for the best. Not sure River would be up for a marriage à trois… not with a Dalek, at any rate.”

It’s very fun when the characters got hardly any canon info cuz you just gotta make up lore. Fuck it my OCs now I guess 😭

Say, Mr. Mosses, what do you do on Christmas?

//ok for this ask, I came up with two different answers for this one depending on the different routes. So I’ll go with the routes where Francis is all alone and the routes where Francis is married to Nacha. Two for one special for you anon//

Post break up route:

Nothing. I’m still busy during this time of the year. And I don’t celebrate Christmas anymore. There’s no point in celebrating if there’s nothing to be happy about. Everything is so meaningless.

*leers at his neighbours who’re having a good Christmas together when he’s all alone*

And it’s annoying how everyone’s so cheerful during the holidays. How the heck is everyone so happy during this month? It sickens me.

Watching paint dry would be better than listening to those god awful Christmas songs.

Mmm, bah humbug, as they say.

~~~~~~~~~

Marriage routes:

Mmm, I still have work as always. *sighs* I hardly get a break especially during this time of year. It’s not much of a difference really.

I spent my last Christmases alone but this time, I can spend the holidays with my family. I get to come home to a delicious feast my lovely wife cooked for us. She always makes the best meals. But during the holidays, it’s more special. That roast turkey of hers is something to look forward to. She and Ana also want to build a gingerbread house together. Now, I don’t see the point in doing this kind of trivial activity but spending more time with my family makes it all worth it for them.

If the snow isn’t too heavy, we’ll have a small outing where we all walk in the snow for hours together. Just like how my mother used to spend Christmas with me. Back when I was still a happy child with her. Nowadays, I don’t understand the all the fuss about being jolly and merry. Frankly, believing in the holiday spirit is so silly to me.

But being close to the people you love the most is what makes Christmas more tolerable. It means that I’m not alone anymore. And I get to be happy with my wife and daughter by my side. It’s something I’ll remember fondly with them for years to come.

Congratulations on submitting your term paper I'm sure you did great!! But afohiko Bluebeard thoughts you say? 👀👀👀 - signed another afohiko convert

first thing you must know - i sent an ask to @/pocketramblr asking for 5 headcanons on this AU, and haven't done anything on my part except make a saucy doodle. also, @/thatforgottenbasilisk has a fic that is functionally a Bluebeard AU, except plot twist! Bluebeard's 'wives' are *redacted*

second thing you must know - the Bluebeard tale I did my term paper on was "The Bloody Chamber" by Angela Carter, which really leaned into the saucy details (and not a little corruption kink), so my thoughts were generally leaning more porn than plot/worldbuilding details for the AU

other things:

The whole "this is a cautionary tale about curiosity and being obedient to your husband" shtick is really funny because you CAN argue that Sorahiko has investigation skills (see: tracking the LoV), but would he be the kind of spouse to let curiosity get the better of his loyalty? he listens to Nana when she tells him not to track Kotarou, after all

All for One IS a sugar daddy, and he has the most success in seducing Sorahiko with rides in sexy cars.

Nana: ?? Sorahiko, why are you marrying this guy?? Do you actually love him?? Is it about financial security?? His vibes are way off. I'm just a call away if he turns out to be an asshole, okay?? Sorahiko: I know you don't wanna know this about your partner, but I'm kinda into that. *24 hours after marriage* Sorahiko, holding cellphone to ear with both hands: Nana, come pick me up, the vibes have gone off the charts,

I haven't posted my gacha videos here in a while so

Yeet

Why do I keep messing up the text timing lately

Characters:

Ginger haired guy is Logico's biological father, next to him his twin Falsone (a famous fashion designer)

And of course Major Red because he's with Gunmetal

Don't ask why Gunmetal looks more like Logico than Logico's father does

I just noticed both of his dads and Logico himself have stubbles, lmao

Talk about "found family"

Casual lore drop in the tags

please write part two to the divorce attorney where they actually get together 😭 im dying, it has me in stitches and i NEED TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS XD

ok maybe i will soon write this (obligatory pause for groans from people who want me to stop finding new things and just finish my old things) but i was thinking about it today and honestly

they meet at a bar after obi-wan's long term girlfriend tells him she can't marry him and they should break up, and this is obi-wan's and anakin's first conversation that isn't in some professional capacity so at first honestly they don't know what to say to one another

but then anakin confesses that he wasn't sure obi-wan would recognize him without a wedding ring, and obi-wan scoffs and is like do you know how many other repeat customers i have?

and anakin is like no? and obi-wan is like just one other. he's been divorced three times. every time, it's been devastating for him.

and anakin is like (pensively) i've been divorced before.

and obi-wan is like uh i know. i'm your divorce lawyer. you've been divorced 29 times.

and anakin goes all quiet and picks at the label of his beer and then he shrugs and he's like. 30 i guess. and once when it mattered.

(mgv) adam is a natural with kids and doesn't even realize it. he frets about taking care of diana on his own because he's so convinced he'll mess her up so bad -- and he's so aware of her trauma with zep, a stranger who hurt her and her family, and how soon adam melded into the gordons' lives directly after all that. it's not even a "i hope my boyfriend's kid likes me" because adam's been nervous about fucking up around her since the moment he and lawrence moved in together and diana was cleared to visit on weekends. and while lawrence admits he would have never considered adam for a babysitter before, he has, frankly, a generous amount of faith that adam is worrying over nothing.

but he doesn't think twice about cutting the crusts off her sandwiches when she asks, reassures her when she admits she wants a nightlight even though she's a big girl, he even swallows his own fear to check every closet for her when she's scared the Bad Man will come back. he lets her crawl in his lap while she reads her book, he purrs his obscenely loud, rough, engine-like purr just because it makes her laugh, complains with her about homework because, like, i know right? multiplication tables? gross.

then diana goes back to alison and adam heaves a huge sigh, having tried so hard but still not convinced he does right by her.

listen,, i am Not defending all of sky's actions or his personality but he's genuinely just not as bad as the fandom makes him out to be.

a lot of y'all forget that sky is a prince with extremely overbearing and downright abusive parents that refuse to listen to him or treat him with any ounce of respect. and that the whole diaspro vs bloom situation was started directly because his parents forced an arranged marriage between diaspro and sky, constantly telling her parents that it would work out and never listening to sky the hundreds of times he tried to stop it. like again, he's not great, he's my least favorite specialist. but that situation was never in his favor. he was a 16 year old that dealt with strict, emotionally abusive parents his entire life and got forced into an arranged marriage with someone he never loved and was constantly told that it Needed to happen for the kingdom. trying to play it out like he's a serial cheater with some nefarious master plan is like,, really weird. again! not a great person he does a lot of shitty things. but blaming that specific situation on him, a teen with absolutely no say in his life who just met someone he genuinely likes and could love, instead of his parents is incredibly weird to me.

[hell-heron]

Stealing this from dreamwidth but imagine you absolutely had to, at gunpoint, turn one of your fanfics into a publishable work, doesn't matter if it's good or would sell. Put in the tags what would you choose and how you would go about filing off the serial numbers.

[giantjupiter]

This synopsis of the anime My Happy Marriage seems so much like the typical Saas-Bahu sh*t people see on television.

(I'd also like to say that the silence in animes and in these serials are totally different. Tons of overrepeated dramatic and sad and happy BGM at the end of the day🗿)
