Wai okay so like, one thing I wanted to add in that drawing but ran out of phone battery power and was racing against it, was the names of the cats. And also lil info on that big chubby black cat.

The big chubby black cat was Mel's first cat named Ace, and he was also the only cat Mel was supposed to have. But then Mel saw a couple of stray kittens, took them in. Heard bout senior cats not getting adopted in the shelter, also took them in. Saw more stray cats, took those in too. Next thing he knows he suddenly has 24 cats and still won't stop taking in strays but at least he gives those away to other loving homes now instead of keeping them.

He has their names themed. 12 cats named after zodiac signs, the other 4 black cats are named after playing cards to be themed with Ace's name (Spade, Diamond, Heart, Club). 2 cats named Cupcake and Muffin, 4 cats named after directions (North, East, West, South). And 1 cat named Palace. (He found this one nearby Alec and Ray's place and decided to name her following the theme of Alec and Ray's pet naming).

Cuz Alec and Ray has 6 cats and 1 dog (4 cats belong to Ray, the 2 cats and 1 dog belong to Alec. Have I told yall they live together? Well now I have. They also have a big aquarium with clownfishes and blue tangs in it. Finding Nemo yes) Also like wait, Alec technically has 2 dogs but 1 dog (her name is Diana) is living with his parents while the other one lives with them.

Ray's cats are named Princess, Prince, King, and Queen (my guy was also only meant to have 1 cat which was Princess oh but looky here, he ended up with 3 more). He roped Alec into following the theme with his own pets so Alec's cats got named Duchess and Duke with the dog being named Knight. Mel decided to follow that with his one cat and named her Palace. (Also like Alec wasn't even supposed to have any more pets other than Diana but Ray got him to get the 2 cats so Alec was like, yk what? i'll get a dog too why not).

Hearts And Spades And Friendship With Games (Disneyland: Ace Trappola and Deuce Spade x MC!Reader) 

The time had finally arrived. You had been waiting for this day for a long time. After a good bit of convincing on both Ace and Deuce's ends for the upcoming spring season, you had convinced the pair to travel with yourself and Grim over to a very magical place- Disneyland. You had been gushing about wishing to go ever since you had heard mentions of the place- after all, there was nothing like that back where you were from. So, here you were. You were now sitting upon a bus and happily chirping away to both Grim and Deuce. Grim was beside you in your seat while Deuce and Ace were directly across from you. Ace snorted after a while, shaking his head and glancing over at you. "I can't believe you're this choked up about a kid's park. Pffft- how childish! Haha!" Deuce sighed and shook his head, sending his fellow friend a glare. "And yet, you agreed to come with us. So, maybe it isn't as childish as you claim." The boys were already beginning to bicker back and forth. Grim shifted over to rest within your lap, gazing up at you happily. "Nyaaaahhaaaa! This is gonna be fun, y'know! Think of all the food! La la la~" You couldn't help but to release a giggle at the monster beneath you, now lightly petting him upon the head. "I am really excited about this, Grim! It seemed so...magical when everyone started talking about it! Hehe." Deuce soon looked over at you with a wide smile, his eyes lighting up and practically dazzling in the sunlight from the outside of the bus. "We're gonna get lots of pictures and souvenirs, okay? I'm going to find something extra special for my mom while we are there." Ace shook his head and snickered, glancing on over at his friend again. "Pleeaaassseeeee. I'll just be on the lookout for some princess material ladies. Hehe." After an eyebrow arch from you, Ace rose his hands in defense and laughed. "I'm kidddddiinngggg, [Y/n]. You're more close to queen material, anyways. Haha!" 

Right as you were about to retort, the bus screeched to a stop. The doors slowly opened, multiple other park-goers now making their way out into the land. Your little ragtag group was the last to get off. You allowed your eyes to widen in wonder and curiosity at the sight of the grand park. Deuce seemed to smile as he gazed up at the grand castle, as though a memory was playing through his head. Grim leapt out and jumped onto your shoulder to get a better view, already singing out his joy. Ace was the last to get off. He seemed to be a bit more passive about it, but you would be lying if you said you didn't see a sparkle in his eyes as well. The four of you now began to walk over to the main entrance with the rest of the crowd. Multiple occurrences began to hit your senses all at once. Children laughing joyfully filled your ears, the sizzling sensations of nearby food trucks wafted out into the air and graced your nostrils with its presence, and the bright and cheerful colors of the park all melded together into one gregarious scene. A warm smile tugged at your lips at the sights. A costumed man suddenly stepped up behind the four of you. The four of you turn around to face him and begin to chat. The fellow waves his hand, sparkles raining down from his fingertips. Four little headbands of sorts appeared upon the head of yourself and that of your friends. A cute little headband with mouse ears and a red polka dot bow popped itself onto Ace's head. For Deuce, another little headband with mouse ears- except with a. starry, deep blue, mini wizard's hat. For Grim, a cute little headband with a sailor's cap had popped onto his head. And finally, for yourself, a pair of white gloved hands that stuck out on either side of your head like ears upon a black headband was conjured onto your head.

Ace began to whine about his headband having a bow on it, to which the staff member laughed. He explained that the headbands were complementary and strode off. You gently poked at one of the hands upon your own headband and giggled. Grim leapt around with his sailor's hat on for joy, already making a beeline for a food stand. Given prompting from yourself, Ace and Deuce soon followed you as you chased after Grim. The monster had grabbed a little ice cream bar in the shape of a mouse's head and was now eating it happily. The rest of you soon followed suit, already snapping a few pictures away and settling down onto a bench. Once the bars were done, the four of you arose and began to travel around to different stands. A roller coaster with water included by the name of Splash Mountain was soon selected, the four of you joyously laughing or groaning out after being soaked so much. After that, a frightening stroll through the Haunted Mansion was taken. The effect of the walk-in "ride" of sorts seemed to have greatly improved over the years- for Ace had leapt into Deuce's arms a couple of times in his own fright. You had to hold Deuce back from punching a few of the more particularly scary creatures in the face while Grim nearly lit the entire mansion on fire. More rides were traveled on, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (Deuce screamed something about his magic bike during that one), some Pirates Of The Caribbean ride (Ace imitated a pirate the entire time and laughed about Jack's Halloween idea from before), Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage (Grim kept saying something about finding a live tuna and eating it), and many more. But nothing seemed to excite the pair of boys more than when your group finally made their way over to the Wonderland themed area. Ace and Deuce were both beside themselves in their joy. Ace madly tapped both you and Deuce on the shoulder, pointing at a nearby costumed park worker. "Look at that card suit guy! I wonder how they get those costumes so exact?!" Deuce followed his gaze, already pulling out his phone and turning to the both of you with a wide smile. "Let's go get a picture!" A giggle from yourself and a shake of your head is all that's given. You soon follow the pair over, Grim slowly making his way over behind you (he had to make sure people didn't step on him a lot). Ace soon grinned wildly and turned to you, eyeballing your form. "Ohhhhhh yeah. That'll be awesome." You couldn't help but to feel worried at the look on Ace's face. The Card Soldier slammed his staff down upon the ground, a dazzling ruby light now surrounding your form. Once the light cleared, you found yourself in an almost identical Card Soldier suit- but yours was red while the worker's was black. The worker gave a nod with another pair of slams of his staff in a farewell, now walking over to greet more park goers. Deuce pumped his fist into the air at the sight of you. "Aaaahhhh- you look so awesome, Prefect! This'll be perfect!" You couldn't help but to grin at the sight of yourself now in the suit, slamming your own makeshift staff upon the ground to accompany the look. Grim laughed and took Deuce's phone, now leaping up onto a high enough ledge to take a picture. He grinned brightly, making motions for all of you to make a pose. "Alright! Nyaha! Everybody say- hearts and spades!" All three of you copied what Grim had said and posed. Once a few pictures were snapped, you found the costume upon you began to slowly melt off of your form. A singular red rose was now upon your top with a miniature card with a heart upon it now clipped onto it in the costume’s place. 

By now, the sun was beginning to set. Grim stayed down below and got a few more bites to eat while the three of you went onto a ferris wheel. The sun was now slowly beginning to set, painting the sky a vibrant array of warm colors. You sighed out in bliss, allowing your chin to cradle within your hand. Ace and Deuce both glanced at each other for a moment and then looked on over at you. Almost immediately, both of their expressions seemed to soften. Ace was the first one to speak up, confident and boisterous as ever. "Hey, Prefect- I have something I want to tell you." Deuce choked a bit on the air and blushed, now gazing at you as well within your seat. "S-so do I! Ahem." You couldn't help but to arch a brow again, peering on over at the two boys. Your gaze flickered between the two of them, their skin seeming to glow and sparkle in the cascading sunlight behind you. At the exact same time, the pair looked up at you and spoke, "I love you, [Y/n]." Ace's expression was rather warm yet still held a flicker of his normal mischief within them. Deuce's expression was all around warm and rather soft in comparison to his normal outbursts of anger from time to time. They both soon began to blush and allowed their eyes to widen at their realization of their exact same statements. Ace and Deuce met gazes for a moment. They glared playfully at each other for a moment and then brought their intense gazes back to you. Your eyes slightly watered as you sniffed and wiped a free tear away, your smile now extending from ear to ear. You brought them both into an embrace, grinning sweetly in the sunset. "...Don't worry. I love you too, boys." Both boys seemed to exhale in relief. Ace raised an eyebrow at Deuce to which Deuce nodded. They both leaned in at the same time, kissing you on the cheek. As you froze and a blush began to spread across your cheeks, they both took their own moments to sweetly kiss you upon your lips in kind. Ace's kiss was fierce- all around passionate and a bit salty to the taste. Deuce's, on the other hand, combated Ace's kiss on the opposing spectrum. A sensation of overwhelming sweetness and a gentle touch was the kiss Deuce gave to you, truly displaying how much the male had changed at heart. You brought both of the boy's into a hug, the pair now settling within your arms. As the sun began to fully disappear beyond the reaches of the park, there was one thing you had to admit. This day had been filled with sugar, a bit of spice...but was all around nice. And the magic was just beginning. 💫

((Hey hey, lovely Readers! I've got something a little different for y'all today! Thought I'd switch things up a bit and give you guys some extreme fluff with a cute little Disneyland writing! Props to @leviskokoro-main for the "idea". Enjoy~💖

Find the Lady

Jack Wilder X Reader

A/N: What can I say, I enjoy the slight of hand. ANyway, who's ready for a fic of a character no one wanted? - Nemo

Summary: A street magician draws quite a crowd, but it’s not the tricks that they’re playing that catches the public’s attention - it’s how they’re playing it. 

Masterlist  

It tended to amaze Jack at how much people were enamoured by the simplest acts of the sleight of hand. New York was always a good place to find street performers, however good or bad they are. 

“Ladies, Gentlemen, Non-binary folks! If you would gather ‘round.” A person stepped up onto a box, grabbing the attention of the crowd around them. With a smile she spoke again. “Come and watch - a feat of magic!” 

The crowd took much more note of this. Since the Horsemen and their shows, the world in it’s whole had been more eager to see magic first-hand - of any kind. 

“Alright, I’m sure most of you know about the game ‘Three Card Monte’, also known as ‘Find the Lady’,” the crowd rippled in understanding, some cheers going out, and she smiled again. “Well, I say we try playing it, how’s that sound?” 

Jack even found himself smiling with the crowd's enthusiasm. Hell, he didn’t know this woman, but they were holding the crowd’s attention as well as Atlas did. 

“Alright, alright. Here I have a fresh pack of cards, still in it’s plastic wrapping, here see,” she said, handing the pack over to a bystander to their left to prove it before taking it back and ripping the plastic off, “Okay, so I’ll shuffle them… And find myself a Queen… Ah, Queen of Hearts is always a good choice, right?” 

The crowd rippled with laughter, eager to find out where this game would end.

“And then two other random cards, here you pick them.” She said, offering the face-down deck to another bystander. “Ace of Diamonds, and Six of Clubs, nice choice good sir.”

She then stepped off the box, pocketing the rest of the deck, and beckoned those around to move closer. She started to fold the cards longways down the middle, and placed them next to each other on the box. 

“Okay, now watch - this card,” she held up the Queen, “Is in the middle, now you, and you two, would you three watch where the Queen goes? Be the eyes for this crowd?” 

The three she chose nodded, stepping slightly closer, and Jack made his way closer  to watch too. She pulled their sleeves up, and started shuffling the cards - not too fast and not too slow. Even for a passer-bye it’d be easy enough to follow the Queen.

“Okay, now where is she? Where’s the Queen of hearts?” 

The three all pointed to the card on the right, and Jack even was sure it was there too, but his gut told him it wasn’t that easy. She looked up at the three.

“You sure?” she smiled up at the three, then stood up from the box, looking at the crowd. “Do you all think it’s this card?” She asked, pointing to the card and shaking her head while the crowd all agreed anyway. “Well it’s either you’re all wrong, or I’m not as skilled at I thought I was.”

She flipped the card over, revealing the Ace.

“Wrong guess!” She said, and the crowd cheered despite being wrong. “But hey, you might be thinking, ‘Where is the Queen?’” she said, turning over the middle card to reveal the Six. “I’ll tell you.” the last card was flipped over to reveal a new card - the Seven of Spades.

The crowd gasped, then erupted in cheers. She looked around, pleased at the reaction, then locked eyes with Jack himself. 

“You, sir,” She said, pointing to him through the crowd, and the crowd parted to leave a gap between them, “Would you check your pocket’s?”

He frowned, confused, and patted down his pockets, eventually finding something in his back jean pocket. Pulling his hand in front of him, he held a card, fresh out of the packet, and folded down the middle.

The Queen of Hearts. 

“People of New York, that is your Queen!” She said, gesturing a hand out to Jack, casting the crowd's eyes to who they now recognised as the Horseman. 

The attention was off her, and as she sulked away, smiling to herself, she caught Jack’s eyes one last time, sending him a wink. Jack, in his shock - partially from the trick, and partially from the crowd now around him - only had one thing on his mind.

How the hell did she do that?

The next morning we didn’t have to be out of the Air B’n’B until 10 a.m., so it was a slow start but once we had breakfast we were on the road again. This time in the direction of Page, Arizona. This is where Antelope Canyon is located. I was so excited to spend time hiking here. The drive takes you almost to the boarder of Utah.

We stopped at Horseshoe Bend. A natural formation caused by the Colorado River eroding away the landscape for millions of years. This feature looks like it could be part of the Grand Canyon but is actually further north than the Grand Canyon. Of course, the Colorado River at Horseshoe Bend continues to flow and is also the cause of the Grand Canyon.

The walk from the parking lot isn’t long, it is a short trek up a hill and a long walk down a hill. Even in the heat it wasn’t so bad. We ohhed and ahhed, and we snapped a hundred pictures with all the other tourists. Then we put the cameras away and just looked. Time is this thing that keeps moving forward and so are the natural phenomena of the world. It took millions of years for this feature to become what it is. We are so lucky that we get to live in a world filled with wonderful things. I know that I am lucky that I have the ability to see even the small fraction of what I’ve seen.

Remember that I said the walk isn’t long, it’s not. That trek up the hill almost did me in though. When it is in the upper 30s C (upper 90s F) outside any walk can become painful. Slow, steady, with lots of water and breaks is what finally had me up the hill. Apparently I like to lounge around in hot weather but moving is not so fun.

I did make it to the car though. From there is was a short drive to check in at Ken’s Tours where we were meeting our guide for our hike through Antelope Canyon. The canyon is on Navajo reservation land. You are required to have a Navajo guide with you in the Canyon. There are a tour companies that specialize in either the Upper or Lower Canyon. We went with Ken’s Tours to view the Lower Canyon.

Our guide was Sheena, she was friendly and informative. She pointed out noted rock formations and helped people get some really great shots within the canyon. She answered all sorts of questions about the canyon, as well as about the local peoples, and all the tourists that come to visit the canyon each year. She talked about the dangers of flash floods and how the canyon closes when it rains.

You begin your tour with six flights of steep stairs down into the canyon. Then you hike for about an hour at a gradual incline until you exit the canyon. Once in the canyon, your guide takes you through to the formations and tells you about them.

Twin Peaks: Looks like two waves in the ocean.

  Bruce – the friendly shark: Named for the shark in Finding Nemo

  The Rocky Mountains: This feature looks like a mountain range.

  The Eagle: The outcropping looks like an eagles head.

  Woman in the Wind: Looks like a lady with her hair blowing behind her. 

  The Spade: The space between the rocks looks like a spade from a deck of cards. 

  The Chief: This look like a Navajo chief with his headdress on. 

  The Seahorse: The empty space looks like a seahorse.

Even the places of the canyon that don’t have specific images to be seen are breathtaking.

Once you exit the canyon your tour is over and it’s time to go. We drove back to Flagstaff, enjoying a beautiful sunset along the way. Then it was dinner and bed.

Antelope Canyon The next morning we didn't have to be out of the Air B'n'B until 10 a.m., so it was a slow start but once we had breakfast we were on the road again.
