#that's not an invitation for a date

[lured-into-wonderland]

((OOC: Dropping Ponsol off here for a White Day return gift to follow after last month’s Valentine’s day. Feel free to do with this as you please just like with last month. Consider it canon to their interaction or not. I took some creative liberties.))

-

Over the course of the month, Ponsol and Nunnally met a few times to becomes better acquainted with one another. Not one to forget that she’d gifted him a flower a month ago on Valentine’s day, it only seemed fitting for him to return the favor.

It was more of a custom that his mother had taught him and his brother from an early age based off her culture, and it was something that he ingrained into his life. It was also a convenient way to build stronger connections with someone by giving a gift in return with this as an excuse.

He’d called her out for a quick meeting, and when she arrives, he holds out a bouquet of flowers for her. There was an assortment of yellow roses, delphinium, and orange alstroemeria flowers. “The meaning of these flowers can be succinctly summarized to one of friendship and appreciation. These are for in return for the flower you gifted me a month ago.” Of which, he had pressed to be made into a bookmark.

Despite how he looked and his general demeanor, he was quite good with his hands. He had an artistic flair and had a green thumb.

The flowers were wrapped in blue and green paper with a silver ribbon. “I picked out the flowers and set up the bouquet myself.” He explains so Nunnally didn’t think that some rogue florist was to take the credit for this bouquet arrangement.

Looking down at the flowers, carefully rearranging some of the blooms that shifted during transit, he hands the bouquet over to her. He had to admit he was in awe of his own talent and vision. “I do hope that you’ll come to enjoy the flowers and find them as beautiful as I find them. They were raised with much care.” After all, he did have a big hand in raising them.

“Perhaps one day, you can come visit the greenhouse where I raise a wide variety of flowers- it’s a part of my hobby, you see.” As one may expect from a guy who comes from old money, he spares no expense when it comes to his hobbies, and this included erecting an entire greenhouse to ensure his flowers grew in a safe and stable environment.

She was quite enjoying their not-so-often meetings. Ponsol turned out to be quite an interesting man with many secrets. Or so she thought. So when he invited her for a quick meeting, about a month later since they first had met, Nunnally did not expect to be presented with a large bouquet of flowers. Even more his words sounded surprising: a return gift. But why? Though no matter what his intentions were, Nunnally was happy and appreciated the gesture: --

“Oh, Ponsol! They are beautiful!” – she exclaimed as the man was handing her his generous gift – “But why suddenly bringing back that flower from over the month ago…!?” – no, Nunnally was not really aware of the ‘White Day’. Valentine’s Day was something she was familiar with, but the idea of returning the gift had never been introduced to her. Though she did enjoy the present. And that was obvious. She hid her face in between the flowers, thinking about information she had just been given. He did set up the flowers himself and he grew them as well. For whatever reasons she wouldn't really expect a man like him (or rather of his social status) to be interested in plants. Dirtying his hands and nails with soil. She had known so many of them, and no-one with the true love for flowers: --

“I’d love to.” – she easily accepted his invitation – “I love flowers, although I am not too good with them. My gardeners had never liked me trying to help…” – she laughed; Ponsol was happy to be able to follow his hobbies, but she could not complain either. After all it was natural that rich men were given more freedom than woman like herself. She did not like it, but she was simply accepting it trying to find her own way in the world – “Perhaps one day I’ll bring my painting supplies with me... Or at least a pencil and a notebook and try to draw your flowers…” – that was her hobby. One of the things she liked. As well as photography.

“So, what are your favourite flowers?” – she asked; suddenly thinking that her little present from back then might have been considered inappropriate for someone who owned the whole greenhouse. Though Ponsol seemed glad when she gave him that single flower, and he was always pleasant for her. And now these flowers: --

“I guess I wouldn't give you that flower if I knew you’re such a great gardener…” – she joked; but it was clear she was cheerful – “I am happy I did. Even if now it feels odd when I think about it.”  

“So, what other secrets do you have? Do you pilot a glider? Or take part in street races?” – she continued in a playful voice. But Nunnally was, indeed, curious.

“Do you like art?” – this time her question was more serious – “Next week I am opening a small art exhibition in the art gallery. It’s a charity event.”

“…would you like to join…?”

"I am desperately looking for a partner." - no, she was not, and her voice clearly indicated that.

Tim and Jason were munching on Batburgers mid-patrol. Entirely out of the blue Tim says: By the way, I'm bi.

Jason pauses, then swallows his burger: Uh, okay?

Tim: I just wanted to tell you. In case, you know, you think no one would accept you.

Jason: ...Huh??

Tim: Yeah, there's a reason why I brought this up. What I'm trying to tell you is that B told me to tell you that you can bring your boyfriend over for dinner whenever you want.

Jason just stares at Tim, wondering if he's experiencing a fever dream because what??

Jason: What boyfriend??

As far as he knows, there is no boyfriend. Why does Bruce think there is a boyfriend??

Tim being understanding but for a completely different context: It's okay, Hood. I'll tell him you said no. No need to deny it.

Jason continues to be baffled: Thanks. But I don't have a boyfriend.

Tim does not believe him: Sure, sure. So, when's the next time Arsenal plans to visit Gotham?

Jason goes back to eating his burger and pretending he's not totally confused by the change in topic: Uh, this Thursday. I'm gonna help him with Lian's birthday cake, and brainstorm gift ideas.

Tim: Uh-huh. Hope you have guys have fun :)

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot

Okay but like…. What if instead of using mirrors they had to stuff this whole cast of people into a bus/van

It’d be a little funny

(Also turn up phone brightness to see it better. Or don’t. Idk I don’t control you)

love love love steddie + supportive wanye

thinking about wayne and eddie going on an annual fishing trip (like thee Munson Men Annual Fishing Trip™️) just like a little weekend away. and the first one is coming up after eddie and steve starts dating. over breakfast eddie jokingly complains about having to go and tries to get out of it. but wayne is used to his dramatics so he just gives hmms when appropriate because eddie’s whole spiel never got him out of it before and he tells eddie that.

steve watches the whole exchange with amusement when wayne asks if he’s looking forward to it. and he’s like ??? because he assumed it was just a wayne and eddie thing. and wayne is like i just told eddie all munsons must go can’t get out of it kid.

steve gets flustered and is internally is like oh??? all munsons,,,

or like after the trip a neighbor asks wayne if they caught anything and he pulls out his wallet to show a picture they took on the trip. wayne passes it with ‘here’s a picture of my boys’ and to steve’s surprise it’s a picture of both him and eddie with their biggest catch.

and just idk wayne casually accepting steve into their family and throwing steve off guard with it.

the close-up shot on Fiyero and Feldspur’s legs as they walk into Shiz proper kills me, you’re telling me those two are so in sync they’re literally in step with each other even off the saddle? Fiyero struts about the place like a stallion cause his bff is a Horse? Is he wearing blue so they match??

One of my favorite details from acofas is that tamlin canonically beat lucien’s ass when he showed up at the spring court after the war but then he felt so bad about it he sent lucien an invitation basically being like “heyyyy sorry for punching you last time you were here would you still like to spend winter solstice together like we always have 🥺” and lucien just went without a second thought.

Recently got dragged back into the fandom and I like your take on the reveal stuff! I always had a soft spot for em, and I was wondering what other headcanons you had for America? Or maybe if you see him as this unshippable character that's just a bro to everyone lol

America was literally MADE for fame. He loves making public appearances, being on TV, and posting on social media. He's always doing something crazy, whether it be climbing the Statue of Liberty, or trying to build a rocket in his backyard.

America makes all kinds of posts. They usually involve memes, comics, superhero shows, dangerous stunts, or jokes about trending topics. His instagram is a mix between "Official pictures", gym pics, parties, and selfies with other nations. Whenever he posts a picture with England, it's a common trend to find England's POV on his instagram and compare the two contrasting attitudes.

He also has a cooking series on YouTube and Tiktok (That Canada usually co-stars in). It's basically become a matter of "Which foreign dish will he bastardize this week?" He's a good cook, but everything he makes is extremely American. A lot of his other videos involve him trying to rope Canada into trying a dumb challenge together. America also does viral dances. He thinks those videos are popular because people like his dance skills. But they're actually popular because he's a hottie. He's completely oblivious to that fact.

America is so meme-ified that it's a little jarring to see him carrying out official duties. There are some people who tweeted stuff like "Why is Alfred with Obama?!" before realizing he's literally the NP and not just a funny American dude. I imagine this has always been the case, like when America fought in WWI, people were like "Oh damn I see you".

As for your last sentence, you're kinda right 🤣 I personally see him as aromantic. But also see him as someone who enjoys getting laid, so I ship him in that way. But I'm not telling you who I ship him with because it's a secret shhhh...
